I've been experimenting with a new AI clip generator model called Pika, which has produced the most accurate representations of second attention perceptions I was able to manage so far in the form of short 3 second clips. I've edited these clips into a single video to provide a but more nuance and context behind how magical phenomena materialize:
It's incredible that all of this was able to be created in just a few minutes with another 1-2 hours of time to edit everything together.
Here is a backup on YouTube:
For context, roughly the first half of the video shows how arms and hands can appear in the darkroom after the green zone. Initially, arms appear as faint black outlines, which you might suspect to be imagined or seen due to a potential light leak. Later, the arms become unmistakable in the periphery, either as outlines (as depicted in this video), blobs of light, "light arms", outlines filled with stars, etc. Some clips accurately depict IOB manifestation.
Where the AI falls short is in brightness/color vibrancy, saturation and in the general shapes of the puffs/blobs. The AI generated interpretation is either too smoke-like, too round, too cloud-like, too blue, or not transparent enough in some instances. It was also impossible to get the AI to generate a single puff in the middle of the view, which is usually the starting point of second attention manifestations. The actual puff appearance is more of a cloud-like energy orb/mass. The arms also don't usually appear that vibrant and bright consistently, if they are even noticeable at all in any given practice session. The animations also lack the "shifting forms" and "phasing-in" effect of the various perceptions and dream scenes. Perceptions phase in more concretely depending on the quality of silence and available energy. It's also hard to depict the "bright" highlights often perceived in the darkroom since that stuff is not really visual and it's more like that "retina burn" effect.
I felt the lightning effects were also a bit too "Sith-like", as I haven't personally experienced shooting lightning from my hands in a "Palpatine-esque" fashion. Curiously, my darkroom session immediately following the creation of these clips featured...lightning shooting from my hands! Only the perception was probably 97% transparent and rather dim due to lack of sufficient energy. Interesting how sorcery works.
While the first half may be slightly less accurate, I find everything past the arm visuals to be extremely precise. The 55-second mark depicts a scene rendering in real-time and full color, although a full-color dream scene background can also appear aswell. The vibrancy and transparency of dream scenes depend on available energy and whether the spirit wants to gift you that session.
The last part shows Fairy appearing. She does indeed appear like that, although usually more as an ephemeral pixie fairy fluttering around rather than in clear cartoon form animating in the air. Although realistic and consistent IOB projections certainly possible if laterally shifted in the red zone.

I'd like to add something to this. If you hold your breath while in intermitten periods whilst forcing silence, you will get to the red zone much faster—with far more fluent expressions within the puffs.
This should be happening naturally to beginners anyway—or they're not going to get past the green zone.
That seems like something that's of help to you, idiosyncraticly.
The gasp has a secondary function. It's why scaring people moves their assemblage point.
Yeah, that is a thing.
This is the best place for secular practitioners—bar none.
Other places, whether you dispute me on their genuity or not, are far too personality-dependent in their way of teaching.
It's true what Don Juan says: You can't teach everybody—it almost always ends badly.
Is that outline of the body in full darkness the energy body?
I'll let Dan answer that cuz I'm not 100% if that's what it is from the deep red zone on.
But the initial outline from just under the blue zone (for some people) down into the green seems to be the double's view of the arms/darkroom in one of the many dreams it has simultaneously.
I didn't see anything like that. The outline of the hands are just the "ghost hands" people see, and we're not absolutely certain what those are, but I suspect it's the energy body's view of our tonal physical body, and not the ultimate version of that. It keeps changing until ti's just wavy lines, such as don Juan described for the claw hand technique.
This frame from the video is the energy body, "unswarming" to help you out. The blue puffs clinging to the arms and hands.
You probably won't see it as a "blue ball of energy", which don Juan says we ought to "prefer", until you can see it in deep silent knowledge. And you can certainly make some monstrosity out of it, the way the old seers were likely to do.
can everyone else see the video? I get a message like this:

Cheers. The original link started working again now. Very interesting video, thanks for making it.
Super cool, thanks for creating this!
I had tot include some of the post because instagram clips things to square. But it copied ok for instagram and facebook.
This is likely condensed episodes, but don't anyone worry about how often magic shows up.
In Silent Knowledge, it's continuous.
That's the purple zone.
And out there, different ways to experience it get added on.
Touch, smell, sound, and the most odd of all that I've seen so far, "history" magic.
All the possible "you"s float by in the golden second attention fog. On what Carlos called, "the wall".
But you'll misunderstand that.
Visualize that what you see in this video are what Carlos called, "videos in the air".
These ones aren't, these are in the room and located somewhere so that they're more like "magic vision".
But in SK you also get "views" of magic. Scenes, places, offers from infinity.
Many of them come with a "new you". A history you simple absorb, if the video overlaps with your face.
If the video in the air floats by in a river of flowing magic manifestations, when it passes your face you can suddenly pick up who "you" are in that place.
It's a history mutation. Your history changes to another one, you notice itt after a second or two, and are kicked back out to be "yourself" again.
Which produces a tiny shock. Not unpleasant though.
It's like a tiny surge of disruptive energy, which is nice enough that you might start focusing on those, instead of on the magic you are viewing.
Those lead into dreaming realms, without having to fall asleep first.
This is really great. So similar to what I see.
