I think there are a number of documented cases of eye damage after viewing eclipses or directly looking at the sun. Here are a couple of links to article I found with Google:
Eye - Solar retinopathy after the 1999 solar eclipse in East Sussex
What Happens When You Stare Directly at the Sun
Some people may be less susceptible to damage based on their body, diet, or some other reason. I have read on some sites that diet can have some effect on how a person responds to sun exposure in terms of skin cancer and creation of Vitamin D.then why were my eyes not damaged? Thanks for the second link the picture of the sun showed me where the Chinese got the 9 ways of attack from looking at the sun go figure

Caffiene and other artificial ingredients affect us ways I don't think scientists are fully aware.
I am not sure that there are full studies of effects of looking at the sun directly or who may be more at risk of damage than others. I just know that there are documented cases of people having eye damage.
Maybe there is something different or unique about you and other people that practice Sun Gazing. Do you have a normal diet - typical of most people with processed foods, sugar or other things like that? Or are you more health concious and restrict what you intake?
Have you had your eyes tested? They could be damaged.then why were my eyes not damaged? Thanks for the second link the picture of the sun showed me where the Chinese got the 9 ways of attack from looking at the sun go figure

I obviously don't know what you see, but I'd still prefer to not stare at the sun.
I don't look at the sun in a religious sense if that's what you're asking. The sun isn't Jesus. :3
I'd rather not look directly at the sun and lose what lousy eyesight I have; however, it appears to be yellowish.
In space, it would appear bone-white due to the lack of gases refracting the light.
On Mars, it usually looks white, but can look blueish or slightly yellowish depending on the time of day and amount of dust in the atmosphere.
Mars Sunset
There is no sunset on Earth that looks even remotely like it.
Didn't mean to imply you thought the sun was Jesus. I sometimes have trouble saying...stuff, lol.
Seriously, if I could go to Mars right now(and not asphyxiate), I would totally jump at the chance, if only to look at the sky there.
The Sun appears yellow and seems more white as it approaches its zenith in the sky.
