I'm not really sure blk wolf. Your not crossing your eyes but by relaxing your eyes, they then tend to move away from your nose versus towards your nose (cross eyed). Try this experiment. Hold up your index finger on either hand in front of your face and relax your gaze. You suddenly see two index fingers, now cover your right eye. The left finger will disappear. Now cover the left eye, and the right finger will disappear. You all give it a try when in doubt about the soft gaze/diverge. Remember, "merge" means your eyes comes together(cross eyed), diverge= separate or move apart.
