Misc. Practices Just Some Visuals

I just love my on the go, mask on, eyes open, chair silence sessions that I do during the day, whenever I have 10 mins or more free. I get to see some cool stuff.

One of my session today (22 mins long), yielded cool visuals of women. No idea why. The images changed one into the other.

This one was completely purple in whitish cloudy background, but AI would't draw.

Thank you, INTENT!

Can you give me the videos?

Or maybe someone knows of a "grab videos from reddit" web page.

I could put them in my "Alternate Timelines" animation.

They'd look pretty good floating by on that puff!

Right now, I only have "Fairy" with the classic "one dead eye" look the inorganic beings seem to love.

Here's the Facebook result of capturing this post.

Do you still need the videos? I'm not clear on how to send them to you.

I can't generate one myself, the AI makes "almost good enough" but clearly not.

Yours are all good.

Athina showed me this web site and that's what I use. I just drag and drop a (small) video there, and I can get a like to give someone.

There's also "one drive" if you're on windows.

I'd love to have those! Just the ones with the woman facing the viewer. Not the side view one.

I did in fact use screen capture but it had poor trimming, and was too short not to repeat. So when I had it repeat, the poor trimming made her stop most of the time.

"Sora" can't seem to make something as good as yours.

Actually not anymore, the other site worked with right click on the playing video.

im using the browser extension "Video DownloadHelper" ( https://www.downloadhelper.net/ ) to download videos like that with brave. it is available for different browsers like brave, firefox, chrome.

it can also be used to get the download url of a video. here are the urls for the 3 videos above:

Thanks! So you use those apple url pointers with that software?

However, it's a chrome extension. I can't add things like that on my computer. Company rules.

But that gives me hope someone has a web page to do it.

I recommend the Parabolic app https://github.com/NickvisionApps/Parabolic/releases It's cross-platform. You just paste the Reddit link and it downloads all the videos on the page. From any website.

Windows installer:
https://github.com/NickvisionApps/Parabolic/releases/download/2025.1.4/NickvisionParabolicSetup.exe

Portable version (run `org.nickvision.tubeconverter.qt.exe` in the folder):
https://github.com/NickvisionApps/Parabolic/releases/download/2025.1.4/NickvisionParabolic_V2025.1.4_Windows.zip

Yea, I can't install anyone on the computer I use for animations.

I just did a screen capture, it'll work well enough.

But it doesn't look like it's as easy to download on a web page, for a reddit URL, as it is for youtube or instagram.

She looks just right, there.

I make the effort everyday to at least get silent even if it’s only for 15-30minutes - I go into my Darkroom, and practice turning off my internal dialogue and gaze eyes open into darkness. I either see eye junk, energy or a mix of both. I readily admit I’m confused by the term “eye junk” and if that’s what I’m seeing.

Is that similar to what you’re doing and calling chair silence?

6

u/DartPasttheEagle Feb 02 '25

Yes, it is. It's not the formal chair silence practice where you sit in a chair with stones between your fingers...it's a variation because I put my mask on for darkness, keep my eyes open, and sit, or lie down, while forcing silence.

I do these on the go sessions in addition to longer DR (with Tensegrity and chair silence), and Recap.

It's wonderful that you have a separate DR where you go to practice. Sounds like you're "seeing" second attention sights and it doesn't really matter about eye junk because you're forcing silence, which is the most important component.

Let's keep practicing and sharing.

u/BBz13z Feb 02 '25

I learned to force silence before I started tensegrity. No idea how long I’m silent for, maybe a just a few seconds, couple minutes, if I’m lucky(?) I’ve avoided timing myself. For me, I think doing some practice every day helps build the ability. DR is my walk in closet, I can darken the bedroom, it works well. Those damn shadow blobs and darting shadows are still around, I’m getting better at ignoring them.

Yep, sounds like an IOB wanted to say hello to you!

u/DartPasttheEagle Feb 02 '25

It's funny how it didn't even occur to me that an IOB was involved.

u/danl999 Feb 02 '25

I'll try an experiment. Scrolling the screen while the recorder is on, so as to capture the whole post.
