"Dissolving" into patterns

Post Reply New Topic

Does the scene that you relive look like you are watching a movie reel on a screen? Are you a participant or a casual observer ? Can you alter scenes ? Does the scene stop abruptly or fades away or break up into colors ?

AHH, the implications of visiting your inner world especially if it's a special interest.

This is a work of Alexander Lauterwasser of "Cymatics". It is a study of sound-frequencies and it is my new special interest. These patterns are amazing to dissolve into and if you study the theory of "Cymatics", it is so amazing how frequencies make shapes you find back in nature. It is stunnig. On a certain Hertz-frequency you can find the exact patterns for example of the inside of a flower or a turtleshell or the fur of a panther or the shape and lines of an amoeba. A turtleshell-pattern for example is 1088 Hertz and a panther-fur-pattern 10101 Hertz.

This happened more often when I was a child. My grandparents had one of those fancy turkish/persian rugs with the elaborate designs. I could stare for an hour or more..
More often, I get lost in light shows at bars, etc. in social situations. Usually stop it if some one taps me on the shoulder..

It's just like I'm watching the movie in my head. I'm never in the image. I can alter scenes if I want to, but I usually just like to let them go in sequential order. When I snap back into reality, the scene usually stops abruptly.

If ever a thread could convince me that I belong on WP, this is the one!

Going to look up cymatics ..

is this going to be a new special interest ? I think so ! !! !

thanks WP

Re - Cymatics

this is interesting site

You will love WinAmp's built-in visualization thingy, called Milkdrop, it's a lot more advanced than the one that Windows Media Player has.

This image looks very familiar to me. This explains a lot... appreciate the info.

This reminds me of Dr. Grandin's ability to simulate her live stock inventions in her head. Anecdotal evidence seems to imply that this ability is correlated with an Autist special interest.

I can't really relate to "dissolving into them".. I tend to play games with them.. or try to look at them from a different perspective and see what else I can see

Really? I just assumed all Aspies did this, as well as non-Aspies with good visual memory. I see images of various movies, TV shows, and memories of real-life events all day long. People are always told to close their eyes to vividly visualize something. I just keep my eyes open. I see images in my head so often that closing my eyes actually makes it hard to visualize, as it feels forced. I only visualize with eyes closed when I'm tired or asleep/dreaming.

I do this all the time, in the clip, I found the patterns in the punchbowl before the obvious ones on the tie.

I don't believe this to be a common occurrence amongst neuro-typicals with good visual memory. I think that it may exist amongst Autistics in greater numbers. Basically, you can see a scene from a movie, t.v show, or life experience projected in your minds eye as vivid as if you were sitting on the couch watching a High Definition TV. I take it that this visual occurrence varies in time.

This type of occurrence is depicted on celluloid in-order to give a viewer insight in to a character's perception BUT i don't think the average person is capable of doing this, good visual memory or NOT.

I like hearing others' (especially other Aspies') opinions about things like this, because I'm mostly clueless as to what the "average" memory is like. I've always known that I have memory talents that others don't, but I still don't know to what extent, as I really cannot conceptualize what it's like to not have the visual memory I do. I still frequently learn that I do things in my mind that others don't. Research on this really excites me.

Couldn't agree more I've always been a pattern person

I also like finding images in random patterns

Today I did my first test. Normally you need aside a metal plate a frequency-generator and an oszillator, but it costs a lot of money. I used an electric guitar and an amplifier where I attached a membrane onto.
Using sand it didn't really work out somehow, it all went straight into a "ball", but then I used water in a metal box and I got patterns , but only on one sound; the base.
So I have to refine that system, but as I have no money I have to find other ways than just go to a shop and buy what I need.
