[This is the most trippin’ thing I have seen all year.](http://www.rpatrick.com/more/imagepuzzle/). I thought I had already done all of these types of things but this one takes the cake.

Give it a try yourself. Besides closing your eyes and tilting you head back, you can also gaze at a blank wall.

I know my faith has been restored.

Tell us if it works for you.

Are you serious? Have I been whooshed? Supernatural vision?  
Please tell me a standard optical illusion didn’t really “restore your faith”. . .

Great, now He’s floating on my computer screen, getting in my way. Thanks a lot!

I’m surprised you haven’t seen this particular illusion before. Or maybe you’re just being silly. Have you tried it with color images? Even cooler.

You want weird? Try [this page](http://www.ritsumei.ac.jp/~akitaoka/saishin-e.html). In particular, the one second from the bottom works really well on me.

I already have a headache. But all I saw was a circle of light with a triangle inside. Hail the holy triangle! Or does that represent the father, son and holy ghost?

You aren’t the only one. I tried it too and most of them did nothing for for me except the two you described. I can see those Magic Eye things and I made it all the way to the end on a very difficult color sensory test. Maybe those others require some type of disability before they will work.

I still thing the divine vision one is the coolest I have ever seen because it has this long time delay followed by a bright circle and then the vision occurs. I am pretty sure some people in this thread aren’t seeing it correctly.
