Hi wicked,
You can try manual 1 with a mirror instead of another person. If you gaze in the mirror you should be able to see things happening. I must say though, I was warned not to do it, but did it anyways. Some people can't handle what they see, but I am guessing that is a minority.
You can do the same when sitting in meditation, you can gaze an object and achieve many different results. It is a lot of fun, and I hope you give it a try.
I don't know of anything you can do with manual 2 and a mirror.
You will begin to understand just how much of what you think you know, experience, and perceive is a simple construct of the mind. AKA reality is an illusion and the mind is a powerful tool that shapes reality for us.

Our minds do have that power though. Take for example lucid dreaming. We shape our reality in those dreams using our minds alone. Our waking mind also has that power when you understand how to control it. We can change the illusion.edit on 4-10-2011 by Wayseer because: more

The mind only refracts reality. It does not shape it. If you can prove to me that your mind can direct matter with precision and consistency (hence shape your reality) I would bow to you
I've asked before, but no lucid dreamer around here cared to answer. What is the purpose of LD? To shape the reality of your dreams ?! What application LD has in your dominant (waking) reality?
It looks to me that LD is just another way to ditch this reality we all share and to which we ALL have a responsibility.
