More Scintillating Scotoma this week...

 I experienced this phenomenon again recently, a few days ago in fact. A strange vibrant scintillating vision in the peripheral field, which grows to fill the field of vision in mainly one eye. I don't know what it is, but the closest I found was the description of the Scintillating Scotoma.

I had a Scintillating Scotoma again Sunday 16th September. The last one was August 16th, this summer.

So, yesterday Sunday, I saw this scintillating image again. It popped into my day vision as a distant speck, which gradually got larger and became central in the vision of my left eye. I carried on with what i was doing, aware that the scintillating colourful shape was snaking in my vision.


Not sure what this means but when trying to get some information on scintillatin scotoma, further down was a section on phosphene created by intense, changing magnetic fields, such as with transcranial magnetic stimulation. 

A phosphene is a phenomenon characterized by the experience of seeing light without light actually entering the eye. The word phosphene comes from the Greek words phos (light) and phainein (to show).^[1] Phosphenes that are induced by movement or sound may be associated with optic neuritis.^[2][3]

Phosphenes can be directly induced by mechanical, electrical, or magnetic stimulation of the retina or visual cortex as well as by random firing of cells in the visual system. Phosphenes have also been reported by meditators^[4] (commonly called nimitta), people who go for long periods without visual stimulation (also known as the prisoner's cinema), or those who are using psychedelic drugs.^[5]

So, I am not on drugs, but feel the description of changing magnetic fields that produces this effect is the closest. I am seeing moving light shapes and form, that perhaps is the result of magnetic stimulation. Its a bit like the occasional personal Aurora Borealis, when the conditions are right and the pressure and my inner magnetic fields are at a certain level, these scintillating lights become apparent.

Well, Its that or I am heading for some big brain migraine induced explosion!! What is occurring with me fits the description of the Scintillating Scotoma, in that goes after twenty minutes. But why it is happening perhaps cannot be explained by our doctors and scientists. Mine does not come with migraines, but I did have migraines as a child.

 I managed to find someone else's account

RE: Spiritual meaning behind ocular migraines?

I used to get occular migranes along with blazing pain that sent me to bed or writhing on the floor if I missed the bed... From what I could tell as I was asking my body why is God's Good Name would I choose such an experience stuck on repeat... and what I was shone was pineapples and Hearts... Took me years to understand that this meant that the pineal gland was crystalizing and activating and simultaneously the sludge in the HEART was transmuting and the HEART was beginning to open....
