some advice about this

so I was waiting for my dad to return so we could help a neighbor replace a stove. While waiting, I sat outside and started to go do an experiment so I stared at to stare at tree in the distance and something happened when it accured. My vision started to go white from the outside in but I couldn't fully understand it and yet it also failed I only did 25% till looking away.
Any thoughts?

Well what was the experiment exactly? If you saw a white glow around the tree I would think you were seeing the trees aura, but if it began at the corner of your eyes in I might speak to a doctor if this is a common thing that happens.

I was trying to put myself in a trance but staring at a distant tree

There are many ways to put yourself in a trance, I feel you were starting to but snapped out of it. It's the same when people try to astral project or go into a deeper state of meditation for the first time, you start to but your mind snaps you back to reality for whatever reason. Keep practicing.

Ok thank you for the information Nekoshema

I often use 'fixation' to enter a meditative state.

I will tell you this because it is similar to what you did.

When I teach people how to clear (blank) their mind completely to use Psychic Skills, I use this 'crutch'

Place a thumbtack or a sticky paper with a dark dot on the wall and while staring think DOT.. DOT.. DOT

suddenly stop and your mind will be blank.. SUDDENLY your thoughts all come rushing back.. whats in the frige? i have to go somewhere... many things OMG

Do it again and eventually you will train yourself to turn off your thought like a switch.

This puts you into an Intuitive state where you can do many Psychic and Magical things without your thoughts distracting.

In the beginning some people experience fuzzing vision like you did.. some don't. I am posting a series about that in this COVEN here.. check the main page of posters and see mine about learning Magick.

Ever been in a room full of people and had the feeling someone was looking at you? You looked around and sure enough someone was staring right at you? That is Heightened Perception.. you can train it and when you blank your mind you may learn to have Heightened Insight. You may get flashes of their intentions. You wont read their thoughts but you will get feelings if they are thinking something bad toward you.

Training your Intuition is a great Psychic Skill.. to turn on your 'hunches' when you need them. My series of posts has links where you can read and learn more.. no gimmicks or anything tho.

Good Luck and Have Fun!
