Open Gaze (total peripheral vision - second attention) is a fundamental technique of the Method Paret in the fascinazione category. It represents the transition from focal vision (specific attention) to total peripheral vision (general attention), activating the state of consciousness called "second attention" in the method.
Definition
Open Gaze is the ability to maintain a perceptual state in which the gaze remains completely open and distributed in space, without fixing on any specific point. According to the Paret method, this is not a passive state, but rather a conscious activation of total peripheral vision, a natural and indispensable prerequisite for accessing fascination techniques. The resulting state constitutes a qualitative modification of attention, characterized by a simultaneous and non-hierarchical perception of the surrounding space.
When it is used
- Preparation for fascination: Open Gaze is the foundation upon which to build any non-verbal fascination intervention in the Paret method
- Development of presence: Useful for increasing peripheral awareness and personal magnetism
- Regulation of the state of consciousness: To access and stabilize the second attention
- Individual didactic practice: As a basic exercise in method training courses
Components and steps
- Sit in a stable and conscious posture
- Relax the ocular and peribulbar muscles, reducing fixation on the central point
- Progressively widen the visual field without eye movement, maintaining awareness of the peripheral margins
- Distribute attention evenly throughout the visible space (360° possible while seated)
- Stabilize this state by maintaining attentive stillness without voluntary effort
- Consolidate permanence in second attention for progressive periods of time
Distinctions
- vs Fissazione ipnotica: Fixation concentrates attention on a specific point; Open Gaze distributes it entirely in space
- vs ordinary peripheral vision: Open Gaze is a second attention consciously activated, not merely incidental
- vs Visione Diretta: [[to be confirmed by Marco]]

Notes
- Symbol: Represented by a circle without a point (F) to indicate the total opening of the gaze and the absence of fixation
- Common mistake: Confusing Open Gaze with passive relaxation; it instead requires active and distributed awareness
- Cognitive prerequisite: Second attention is not automatic; it requires deliberate practice and understanding of the distinction between specific vs general attention
