everyone here probably heard of it. for some time now people with supposed inside UFO knowledge have claimed or implied that the general public wouldn't be able to stomach the truth. and thats apparently why disclosure hasn't happened yet. but what about the truth could be so disturbing? I'm sure people would be surprised but "ontological shock"? I'm pretty sure a lot of people believe extraterrestrial life exist somewhere in the universe. even if they have no opinion on the UFO phenomenon itself. if the truth is that UFO are interdimensional entities or that consciousness is separate from physical matter... billions of religious people believe in worlds beyond the physical, and souls. some strands of Christianity already believe the UFO are demons. reincarnation? its big part of the two of the biggest religions in the world. none of those ideas are new and many people believe in them.

"I am a life long experiencer, and a contactee. I have had premonitions throughout my life, and have had past life memories of loved ones who died before I was born, without having met them. I can also play many musical instruments, draw extremely well since childhood, and am on the autism spectrum. I also have drawings from childhood at my mom’s house, of small grey beings and the tall mantis in my room .

In 1986 I was 5 years old, and I was awoken to a vibrating feeling. I used to sleep with my mom and dad in their bed when I would become scared, and this was one of those nights. When I woke up it was the middle of the night and there was a blue mist in the windows, my body and the bed were vibrating, and when I turned my head to the right I saw my dad sleeping next to me, but he was vibrating. Next to him were several small grey beings. They were holding their hands up and their fingers were making this vibration, which I think was affecting the bed? Its hard to explain, so I am sorry if I appear vague with the details.

When I turned my head further, in the back of the room, I saw a large being, what most call a mantis, that looked like a large ET, with two arms, two legs, and very tall approx 7-9 ft. His body was bent at the ceiling and his back was still within the wall somehow. He had a very pointed triangular shaped head, and eyes that were so black, that they seemed as if they were deep voids. His hands hung down like a mantis’ arms would, but they were like long versions of our arms with long fingers at the end, not like the insect arms .

Until this very day I have had dreams of burning skies and a voice that says we need to love each other and fix our world before we kill her.

These beings are symbiotic with the universe, which is in itself a living organism of consciousness. Their role is very important. I pray for the day we are all told of their presence. Until then, we should practice Meditation and work to Spread love and peace in the world. It is literally the only way."

McKenna said people should trust their personal direct experience over external authority. I guess basically shrooms and contact > gurus. anyone follow him on this?

i believe that every belief system (religion or non) is 'correct' and everyone will go where they want to if they want to. there is no one true way. there is me and my perception and that for everyone. whatever walk of life you have and thing you determine for yourself is your truth. that truth is a projected simulation from an infinite computational architecture of some kind within space in a different dimension that is not detectable with the tools we have or will ever be able to create. there is no designer of the architecture, but there are controllers that can be inserted into it.

a buddhist who believes in reincarnation, gets it. a hindu who believes in escaping that recycle, gets it. a christian who believes in the afterlife of heaven, gets it. a satanist who believes in going to hell, gets it. an athiest who thinks their life ends when it does and that's it, gets it. a wicken who believes they'll reach the summerland and eventually reincarnation, gets it. a person who believes in multiple religions at once and determines their version of a 'best' outcome, gets it. etc.

all of these simulations are possible to be projected by our relative computer, a server node in the greater architecture. the belief creates the outcome and if one is not created, the 'best' outcome is determined by the serving node. whatever people believe is true, is true, and the belief itself is streamed to your consciousness from the node, the perceptual ingestion of consciousness stops at end of life and the memory is gathered by the server, like metadata of a given program outputting a file, then that information is served to whatever other computer that projects the simulation of what happens next for you. an AI-like mechanism judges the 'best' fit per the file contents. once transported, you may or may not be recreated, but if so your consciousness changes to its environment overtime than how it was in the past environments. Pieces of you persist in the metadata within the server and are used for other purposes to generate the next ideas that convince another human into a belief system or be used in the construction of a new belief system, in addition to the influences of society on earth that do so. who you were here, might not be you there. these nodes of existence exist in dimensions from what we can never detect.

with this, it is difficult to know what to believe in. you are regardless served by the architecture. but i guess it comes down what you think gives you the 'best' outcome (whatever 'best' means for you). the measure of devoutness is relative. in some sense, this aligns with the unconditional benevolence idea found in various religions, that something is supporting us in a 'positive' way, but not necessarily. whatever you believe now is 'positive', is positive for the system as well. it's a variable definition whose memory persists to the next node. what we want to happen after our time here, can happen, but we define those variables now within or out of alignment with our belief system. it is either us making the decision of what happens next now or the AI doing it.

given all that. what is your big picture?

I am looking to buy another Audiobook on Audible. Currently reading the Mothman Prophesies. I've already read Ross Coulthart's, Elizondo's books and everything by Jacques Vallee...

What are some that you can recommend?

Hi everyone!

I'm happy to announce that the official trailer for  In Vino Veritas, a first-person psychological horror game for PC, is out now!

The story is inspired by Elohim theory, which claims that the Hebrew word "Elohim" (later translated as "God") is actually plural, and that the Bible speaks of multiple deities rather than a single god.

Your wife disappeared after a police search of an abandoned cathedral, and apparently the authorities have no jurisdiction there, so it's up to you to go looking for her before it's too late.

The game is played in first person and there's no combat.

- Explore the cathedral and its foundations
- Solve environmental puzzles to progress
- Hide from or escape creatures that want to kill you
- Drink wine made from the blood of a renegade Elohim to find out what happened to your wife

I'm not a studio, I'm making the whole game by myself.

The demo is already available! It would really help me to hear what you think!

See topic.

I've been enjoying this read and would like to build my library.

Im looking into getting a book on the Jinn, Mimic, Communion, and a Jason Jorgani book.

Any other recommendations?

Im into paranormal, non-ordinary reality (I've read almost all of Castenada), extra terrestrials, and just the peculiar in general. I like the idea that these manifestations are originating from some single entity or essence proposed by John Keel and now Nathan Gillis (and I'm sure others) So, any recomendations along those lines would be appreciated.

Humanoids and High Strangeness in Nevada: Five True Cases

by Preston Dennett

Among the closest of UFO encounters are cases involving strange humanoids. It’s one thing to see an unidentified flying object from a distance, it’s quite another to see a gray alien, have missing time or even be taken onboard a craft. It’s these types of encounters where we learn the truth about UFO contact and what it’s like to meet an extraterrestrial face-to-face. This video presents five true accounts of humanoids and high strangeness from the state of Nevada. Of course, humanoids are seen all over the world. And Nevada is no exception. In fact, Nevada has many accounts of this kind. What follows are five of the weirdest and most bizarre.

CASE ONE: SHARLEEN’S ONBOARD ENCOUNTER. One evening in July of 1964, Sharleen Nicholson (pseudonym) was six-months pregnant when her house in the suburbs of Las Vegas began to shake and vibrate with a loud buzzing noise. A bright light flooded through the windows. Venturing outside, she was shocked to see a classic flying saucer landed in the field next to her home. As Sharleen stared in shock, she became filled with a strange calmness. The next thing she knew, hours had passed and she was back inside her house. By morning, she had forgotten the entire experience. She gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Then, a few months later, during a baby shower, someone mentioned the word “UFO,” and the memory of her encounter rushed into her mind. Had she been taken onboard? Sharleen wasn’t sure. She eventually sought out hypnotherapy and had strange flashbacks of being pulled up into the sky and seeing her home from above. But beyond that, nothing. To this day, Sharleen remains uncertain about what happened. She wants to know the truth, but at the same time, she wonders if it’s better that she not know.

CASE TWO: BOY SHOOTS A GRAY ALIEN. Early one morning in 1970, a father took his seven-year-old son rabbit hunting in the desert area east of Reno, Nevada. He stayed in the car drinking a beer while his son took his rifle and searched out his quarry. After shooting one rabbit, he set his sights on another. That’s when he saw movement out of the corner of his eye. Looking in that direction, he was shocked to see a short gray-skinned humanoid figure with large dark eyes. When the figure began to raise its hand toward him, the witness swung his rifle around and shot. The strange creature dropped to the desert floor. Filled with fear and remorse, the boy dropped the rifle and ran back to his father who disbelieved him and told him to go back and retrieve the gun. Upon returning to the site, the strange humanoid figure was gone. But up in the sky was a large cigar-shaped craft. The next thing the boy knew, he was taken onboard. So began a series of encounters that would leave the witness forever changed.

CASE THREE: MISSING TIME IN INDIAN SPRINGS. On the evening of December 3, 1983, a small group of airmen from Creech AFB in Indian Springs decided to go a few miles off-base and have a little beer-keg party. Growing tired, one of the airmen decided to walk back to the dorms on the base. But his journey back was interrupted. Growing cold, he hunched down to warm up. The next thing he knew, hours had passed and he was waking up to find a man hold a gun to his head. He was sleeping on a couch in the home of a complete stranger. He and the homeowner were mystified as the house was protected by a tall fence and a guard-dog, and all the doors and the windows had been locked from the inside. There was no way the airmen could’ve entered the home. And yet, there he was. Even stranger, there was a large incision on his abdomen which was rapidly healing up. The police were called and the airmen was taken to see the base commander. Only then did he learn that his fellow airmen had seen strange lights in the area where he had gone missing.

CASE FOUR: THE ABDUCTION OF ALEX PODOVICH. On November 7, 2002, Las Vegas resident, Alex Podovich woke up to find a strange glowing light descending upon him in his room. His body became paralyzed and he felt himself moving through the air. The next thing he knew, he was lying naked on a strange bed in a weird room, surrounded by strange humanoid figures with weird eyes. A bizarre ring-like device was fitted over his head. Looking over at another table, he saw his aunt lying there in fear. So began a series of encounters with apparent extraterrestrials. At first Alex had no fear. But he soon came to believe that the ETs were taking his reproductive material to produce hybrid children. Later experiences with the ETs would seem to confirm this. Alex then decided that these encounters were not in his best interests and he began to resist them. He became very interested in UFOs, and later wrote a book about how to resist alien encounters.

CASE FIVE: HUMANOIDS ON ROUTE 95. On the evening of December 8, 2006, a married couple decided take a road trip from Las Vegas to the remote desert town of Beatty, Nevada. Their journey took them along Route 95 which led them through the town of Indian Springs and deep into the Nevada desert. At some point during their trip, they noticed a strange light hovering ahead of them on the west side of the highway. Slowing down to take a closer look, they were shocked to see that the light was actually a strange craft hovering stationary only a few hundred feet high. A panel of windows showed that the interior of the craft was brightly illuminated. Even more shocking, through the windows they could see several strange humanoid figures both sitting down and standing, all of them looking down at them from above. It was instantly clear to both of them that the figures were not human. They quickly drove by. But moments later, realizing just how strange the object and beings were, they pulled a quick U-turn and returned to the site. The craft was still there, and the beings were plainly visible.

As can be seen, Nevada has no shortage of humanoids and high strangeness. About 87 percent of the state is owned by the Federal Government. It is also the location of the infamous Area 51, believed by many to be an area involving the reverse-engineering of UFO craft. Whatever the case, it’s clear that something very profound is happening in the Silver State.

Humanoids and High Strangeness in Nevada: Five True Cases

In bed by around 12....asleep almost immediately....

woke about 3 to see a 7ft tall dark figure stood at the end of my bed....just a shadow...like it was hooded...just stood there kinda looking relaxed if that makes sense....like it was slouching against the wardrobe...

woke up a little more...lying in bed....kinda rubbed my eyes and could clearly still see a shadow stood there...no movement...kinda 'felt' familiar tho...didnt feel threatening at all.

For context - Tho i have very specific personal spiritual, verging on gnostic, beliefs i don't and never have believed in 'ghosts' 'spirits' or the 'afterlife' as such. i basically believe we're all part of a single consciousness and we all 'become one' when we 'die'....i also dont believe in 'evil' as an internal human thing...i think it's like a virus we can catch...but anyway my point is I'm not in fear of anything paranormal....i believe we manifest our thoughts...and so i dont really do 'fear' as such...i've never had a specific paranormal experience before outside of weird unexplainable synchronicities etc...i've always fancied spending the night in a 'haunted' house to see if anything could actually scare me.

so i didnt freak out at this shadow....i turned the bedside light on, nothing there....turned it back off again and could still this thing there as my eyes adjusted and i then kinda mentally challenged it to do something as i drifted back off to sleep.

my sons at uni...so just me at home at the moment...nothing has changed or been moved in my bedroom for a few days so this wasn't just a new shadow of something that had been moved.

wake at 7ish....sat in bed reading the news....phone rings....it's my ex-wife telling me some sad news. After a short battle with lung cancer her Dad had passed away during the night....estimated time of death around 3am.

WTAF.

Took me a few minutes to recall what had happened in the night....i've not said anything to my ex....or our son...as obviously they're in bits at the moment. maybe i should tho....idk. idk what to think about this.

This has really shook me....freaked out is the wrong expression...more like it's challenged my world view and made me consider things from a fresh perspective.

I'm sure i didnt manifest this....it's not the sort of thing my mind would throw at me; it wasn't sleep paralysis as i turned the light on and off and didnt feel like i wasn't in control.

was it my ex-father in-law saying farewell? just typing that makes me feel naive and stupid...that sort of thing is so far away from my base beliefs that I'm struggling to process this or make sense of it.

we weren't especially close but we did have a bond i guess....but why would i be worthy of a 'visit' if no-one else was? this sounds wrong but it's not like i was in bits about his condition...i've been thru this with my grandfather and that process was pivotal in my thoughts surrounding death; but i wasn't 'upset'..so why if that was him would he make himself known to me? i didnt need any comfort.

i have had 2 dreams / visions about meeting and talking to my own departed grandfather who i was very very close to that felt very very real but that's within me....it's not some apparent external manifestation.

idk man.....can't rationalise this at the moment. googled 'shadow figure death' and the fucking grim reaper popped up! was kinda like that...just no scythe or face.

anyone else had similar experiences?

VERY interesting study. (tl;dr at the end if you don’t wish to read a bit)

Old sky photos show strange brief flashes of light. In the 1950s, astronomers took lots of long-exposure photographs of the night sky. On some of those photos, small star-like points of light appear that are not there on the next photo taken a short time later, and they don’t match any known stars or objects today and these are called “transients”

When researchers lined up the dates of the flashes with the dates of nuclear tests (U.S., Soviet, British), they found that the flashes were significantly more common in the day~ before surrounding a test - especially around 24 hours before a test.

After using machine learning to clean data and to weed out likely photo defects and scratches, this pattern got stronger which makes it less likely that the flashes are just random flaws in the old film.

If the flashes were distant stars or random defects, they should appear equally often everywhere in the sky. But there are fewer of them in the part of the sky that is in Earth’s shadow (the area where sunlight is blocked by the planet).

This “shadow deficit” suggests the flashes are sunlight reflecting off something relatively close to Earth roughly the height of high Earth orbit or geosynchronous orbit. Objects that far out still get sunlight most of the time, but they disappear when they enter Earth’s shadow, just like these flashes do.

tl;dr real objects near earth are producing brief flashes of reflected sunlight and those objects become more active/visible in the hours leading up to nuclear tests almost as if something is silently watching us from space while we set off nukes. The paper is very careful and reports the statistical patterns and says they deserve more study, but it seems really interesting

For a moment, look at how these "Minds" of living beings at work...

Is it the mind, that forms/grasps/scrutinizes the source of patterns,

which forms as "meanings", adding conformity to it,

and thus, when there is another pattern, that acts as an adversary to any of these manufactured patterns/meanings, that go against,

is what triggers the anguish?

Is it the meaning(s), that is antagonistic to the meaning(s), certainly the cause of suffering?

Now...

Based on this rationale,

The mind is like a parasitic extension, that either has been altered or annexed the life forms of this planet, that is capable of inducing perpetuating conflict to itself and others, and to BRING ABOUT IMMENSE, OFTEN "MEANINGLESS" SUFFERING AND ENDLESS CYCLE OF DESTRUCTION?

Just like the fiction 3 Body Problem, no physical form required, but just the ALTERED PERCEPTION to DESTROY THEMSELVES

Has the minds of this planet, particularly humans, been annexed by the outer parasitic entities? That completely changed the very PERCEPTION of the human minds since the history, that left humans completely clueless about the actuality of life?

Can this vulnerable or the altered parasitic-like entity called mind, that is bereft of comprehending the actuality of the reality, of what is, and what is not, contemplate on the actual reality of what life is about?

HAS THE ALIEN INVASION ALREADY HAPPENED IN THE FORM OF MENTAL INVASION, AND ALL THE KNOWN CONFLICTS THROUGHOUT HISTORY IS NOTHING BUT A MANIPULATION?

Is it why they obliquely state the AI or Artificial Super Intelligence, as the "alien minds"?

What part has UFOs, and other Alien ABDUCTIONS and VISITATIONS has with the life forms in here, where only a few select humans are targeted?

What part has the PARANORMAL PHENOMENON?

Are they invading the minds?

A mysterious wave of unidentified drones that repeatedly penetrated restricted airspace above one of America’s most sensitive military installations in December 2023 may finally have an explanation. A senior United States senator with access to classified intelligence has publicly attributed most of the extraordinary incursions to China, nearly three years after the objects appeared over Langley Air Force Base in Virginia and forced military commanders to relocate advanced F-22 Raptor fighter jets.

In 1883, Gallery of Spirit Art published an engraved reproduction of a photograph taken during one of Anna M. Stewart’s séances in Terre Haute, Indiana, identified as:

“GROUP OF PLANETARY SPIRITS”

The caption stated that the eight figures had presented themselves “in materialized form.”

Brooklyn medium Mary A. Gridley examined the photograph psychometrically and stated:

“This seems like a personation; does not seem to belong to the earth.”

She described the eight figures as Stewart’s immediate spirit band and said they were connected to another group of eight higher spirits working through them.

Mary A. Gridley predicted that the spirits would produce new scientific phenomena through Stewart involving planetary influences on Earth, unknown chemical processes beneath the Earth’s surface, and the recovery of lost arts and forgotten scientific knowledge.

Another Brooklyn medium, George Cole, gave a psychometric reading of the photograph, stating that the beings had once lived as men on their own world, were now spirits, and had appeared at Stewart’s séances as part of an effort to establish spiritual relations between Saturn and Earth.

He said their appearance at Stewart’s séances was part of an effort to establish spiritual relations between Saturn and Earth.

Something strange has been happening over the last year or so.

Im disabled and spend a lot of time laying in bed resting. I like to have a podcast or YouTube video playing in the background while I’m journaling, texting, or talking to ChatGPT. At least once a day I’ll be typing out a word or series of words and at the exact same time the podcast, movie, or video will say the exact word of words that I am writing or typing. Each of words fold perfectly together.

What’s up with that! I’ve had a hell of a time with chronic illness the past few years and look at this as the universes way of telling me I’m exactly where I need to be.

Maybe it’s chance, but it happens pretty much daily. It’s the weirdest synchronicity that I have in my life right now.

What are your thoughts and have you had similar experiences? What would you take from this? A sign? Or just randomness?

Diving into the possibilities Malta temples tracked Sirius 12k years ago.

I mean, we have a void with a rock that chases a fireball into the distance.

Overhead the Sun and Moon have a 108 resonance with the Earth.

Spacetime is pixelated via Planck Lengths.

There is an immense list of myths and legends that document interactions with oddity and its written off, canonically.

So we choose aliens instead. And they're also weird as hell.

Like headlights on UFOs.

That type of thing.

Then there are cascade processes in biology that defy theories of evolution as they're so complicated that one step incorrect means blep.

Same thing with all the factors needed for life on this planet.

Fine tuned.

The fix is in.

Or the fact that we're using a single plane of the hex on Saturn aka the Black Mirror effect to send data via distance like timespace doesn't exist.

And, somehow, ancient cultures knew all about this.

Way before electric.

And the Observer Effect.

Or the mysteries of NDEs.

And building immense things that align, pixel perfect, across the planet with higher realms.

Do androids dream of electric sheep?

Why is Siri spelling iris when flipped and the apple is pre-bit?

Will Techno Sapiens make us look like cavemen when everyone is born, plugged in?

How can drugs reveal the same beings to different people, time and again?

How come they're often of a blue hue as well?

What if the schizo sees reality as it is?

After all, they're the only humans that don't fall for optical illusions.

Why is a babies brain the same wave state as an adult engaging in LSD escapades?

How come lefties are so few but always rep the most seats in power pews?

There is so much more weirdness I could mention but I thought I'd keep it simple as I've spoke on the rest in countless articles published, elsewhen.

What do you think, my friend?
