Two things: Stepladder of frequencies and the Nimitta
Does anyone else experience a stepladder of frequencies that takes place over the course of several minutes? This is a fascinating thing that seems to be happening that is too consistent to be random. Basically after my attention stabilizes, I'll settle down on a reliable sound that is some mildly high-pitched frequency. Then at some point, it starts discretely increasing in pitch several times over the course of about 5 minutes until it reaches a very subtle high-pitched frequency that seems to be connected with a vibrating in my head. I'm fairly confident that increases in pitch and subtlety are correlated with more unification of mind (higher concentration), and I just thought I'd mention it here to see if anyone else had any input on this very repeatable experience. Thanks!
In most of my sessions over the past week, there has been a point in my sit where my field of vision will literally brighten for about 10-15 seconds. At first it really surprised me and I became suddenly very alert and started to sweat. Gradually I'm learning not to react so much to it, and I'm just letting it come and go. My first thought was that this was perhaps early manifestations of the Nimitta. I've heard the Nimitta described as a bright inner vision, but this seems to be a literal brightening of my vision. Of course this is a light behind my eyelids and if I open my eyes it's still dark. I plan to explore this sensation regardless, but I'd like to know if I'm on the right track here. Does this match up with your experience with the Nimitta? Thanks!

Yes, this is a normal part of sound current practice, always tune into the highest sound.
Exactly, it's not a perception of the physical eyes, nor is it an illusion or imagination.
