I’ll start with some background then go into secic details and technical oints and you can feel more the wiser.  This in reference reference to the Trakaka on a Black dot  method   method of !harana. The method calls to make a black dot made of "collyrium# on a betel leaf that is a$xed to cardboard and and laced on a wall. %ehind you a candle is lit &backlighting is also an imortant ste' and you ractice tratak on the black dot.  The instructions online are not as comlete as in my source source the book !harana !arshan(Yogic)Tantric and *anishadic +ractices of ,oncentration and -isualiation which is a must have. /hat struck me after a review review is what he says about about the afterimages roduced by the method.  You  You might see a cross) cross) or a A*0 symbol or a human gure gure &shadow'. This dug u a few questions about the variations variations of methods I’ve seen in other other texts. It made me wonder what was really in that "India ink# and now I know for sure that its not arbitrary. 1et me go into details. In the book ,ybernetic 2.3.+. 2.3.+. breakthrough by 4atharine ,over 3abin she mentions exeriments she did with "ro5ective divination# divination# which uses the method for roducing adhoc 6orschach inkblots using red and black ink. 3he tells a story of how she redicted the outcome of a horse testing h er theory. theory. 3he also talks a bit about it in her book on dreams dreams 23+ and dream analysis. 3he says at the end of the book) at least in one version I have &the aerback is a bit di7erent from the other rinting I have') that she will ublish a book called +ro5ective +ro5ective divination.

I couldn’t conrm anything with research research that there was ever a "india "india

The ones that don’t have Astral vision vision seem to be the most rabidly rabidly hellbent on roving that their fellow countrymen seem to be deranged or mentally ill. ,ase in oint being the many demonstrations of the indian indian roe trick and many other maniulations of what is A3T6A1 3*%3TAF,2 by so(called Gakirs. /here the colloquial term GA426 GA426 comes from.
