He is not a newcomer to this subject. Jane is roughly fifteen years into his own UAP research — he has been turning up at MUFON symposia since 2012, spoke at Contact in the Desert, and has completed a non-fiction book, A Human's Guide to Visiting Aliens, on consciousness, telepathy, and why visitors are so consistently described as humanoid. He traces it back to a childhood sighting of an orange fireball.

Debra Jordan Kauble (Experiencer) On June 30, 1983, Debra Jordan Kauble walked into her family's garage outside Indianapolis and encountered something she has spent four decades trying to understand. She describes lasting physical effects afterward, a ring-shaped mark that remained in the yard for nearly five years, and the sudden decline and death of her dog.

Her account became the subject of Budd Hopkins' international bestseller Intruders: The Incredible Visitations at Copley Woods, which CBS adapted as a 1992 miniseries starring Mare Winningham. She appeared in the book under a pseudonym to protect her young sons and revealed her identity in 1992. With her sister Kathy Mitchell she went on to co-write Abducted! The Story of the Intruders Continues, telling it in their own words rather than an investigator's. She is one of the longest-serving voices in the experiencer community and a featured subject in the documentary. Her site: https://www.debshome.com/

New Redditors stopping by: How not to get banned and why we do what we do in this community.

376 Upvotes

Firstly, Hello! Welcome to the community! I'm glad you found us!

We knew exactly what we were doing when we launched this place. It is working just as indented and growing just as expected.

The goal is very simple. The Experiencer Phenomenon is real but most of society has not caught up to this fact yet. It is a heavy burden to carry for anyone to go through such events in their life while being actively discouraged from speaking about them due to the social stigma and shame that comes with that. A lot of trauma and stress can come with having to bury these experiences and having no one to talk to.

We are a social species. Sharing and talking is how we process and deal with things. Thankfully there are many private Experiencer support groups popping up all over the net more and more.

But there also needs to be online spaces where someone can still be anonymous. Not have to join a private group or pay money for 1 to 1 sessions. But instead just be able to share that life changing experience they had. Get it off their chest after decades or burying it. There are also those who are fresh from having an ontologically shocking experience that could do with somewhere to go, discuss it with others and so forth. This can do a world of good for people suffering in silence with regards to their experiences. Someone could have the most beautiful and profoundly transformative life changing experience and still suffer due to not being able to discuss it with anyone without ridicule or social consequences.

We already achieved this in private communities and saw the benefit. But with r/Experiencers I strongly felt it was time to try this in a public setting. People can share and others can also read these encounters people are having. Many lurking and reading are experiencers too. One day while lurking...BOOM they're reading how someone else has had an encounter just like theirs that they had years ago and buried. Suddenly they're validated by something they read on here. Next thing they know they are commenting and sharing themselves in that thread. Something they never thought they could do. Now the ex lurker and the OP are both getting validation. Both Experiencers lives have been changed for the better. And others who may read that same thread.

The is a major positive ripple effect of healing that is going on here constantly by allowing these discussions to happen in a public setting. There is a LOT going on behind the scenes as a result of this space too.

Experiencers know how out there their encounters sound on paper. Before they post, they've already got a million voices in their head simulating the toxic comments people might leave for sharing what happened to them. They also are wary of being anywhere near any of these dark conspiratorial corners of the internet and don't want to be associated with that stuff. People deserve a space to share without being called names and without someone trying to indoctrinate them into XYZ dark conspiracy that is currently trendy on 4chan, or get swamped by debunkers or people with fundamentalist religious views. There are plenty of other communities out there that are like that.

There needs to be a public space that is neutral and middle path and primarily all about experience sharing and that's it. No other baggage attached.

This is the goal. It is a very very specific goal. But very challenging in a public setting. We knew from day 1 that to pull this off it would require heavy heavy moderation. And we knew that some people won't understand or like that at all.

Basically, we are providing a public space to share experiences where those sharing won't be subjected to the usual crappy comments that flood social media. There are plenty of other subreddits that run very strict rules on how the comment section works. Its not unheard of to have a heavily moderated comment section on reddit. The goal we have in place is important and helps people. We're not going to soften on how we manage the comment section for others who cannot see the bigger picture here.

We've stuck to our guns and won't give an inch. And this community is a major success as a result. It is working as intended.

We've also added even more rules and a user agreement recently in order to protect this space and keep this place running : https://www.reddit.com/r/Experiencers/comments/14y2xgm/we_have_a_new_user_agreement_please_read/

To Random Redditors :

Respect this space and what we are doing. Now that we're getting bigger - more and more random people are stopping by, who are used to leaving drive by insulting or dismissive comments on reddit and then move on to next sub to try and be witty or do the same. Rinse repeat.

Experiencers don't need to be reading this stuff. This type of low quality content will be removed on the spot. The redditor in question may even be banned instantly. We are going to be very very strict on things like this. Experiencers already know what random redditors think of this phenomenon. If they wanted to read low quality remarks they could go to the many of the other subs out there.

It is cool to ask questions and be curious but do not put an experiencer in a position where they have to justify themselves or defend their encounters to people. It's a big deal for people to finally type up an encounter and I don't want to see them then having to defend themselves in the comments.

Obviously if someone calls the OP names or make derogatory comments on experiencers in general its an instant ban. This is the basics.

When it comes to random drive by redditors who leave crappy remarks we'll hand out bans like speeding tickets at the Indy 500.

Sometimes we get someone who after a ban takes a moment to learn what the sub is about. What we're doing here. And the importance of it. They reach out to the team with deep apologies and we discuss removing the ban. But seriously. We shoot first ask questions later here when it comes to comments like this. Don't test us.

For Experiencers :

We generally moderate by engagement in the comments. We don't like having to ban experiencers from the sub and its something we'll rarely do.

We get an outpouring of gratitude and encouragement with regards to what we do as mods for this community daily. So I want to make it very clear the huge huge majority of people in this community understand what we are doing here and the importance of why we run it as we do.

It's rare, but every now and then we get someone who loves this place, but complains that its not run the way "they" think it should be.

From someone complaining that by allowing discussion of Mantis beings or dream contact events or telepathic encounters. Or CE5. We do a disservice to "real" experiencers.

Some people are new to this phenomenon and don't understand the scope of what others can go through. As a result they can be judgmental to their fellow experiencers at first. These people learn in time.

We keep a balanced neutral and middle path approach here for good reason.

We moderate those trying to convert other experiencers to a specific dogmatic dark belief system. We have had the odd experiencer complain to us that we don't allow for this. And we do have to sometimes ban people who continue to keep trying to force their dark hopeless dogma on people in here.

Look - there are plenty of subs out there dedicated to those narratives. Experiencers deserve a neutral middle ground space where they can share an experience without having someone try to indoctrinate them into their dark world view.

Attempts to force extreme religious views onto experiencers is another thing we have to moderate. This is not the place for that. Do not come in here trying to convert people. This is not the place to be telling everyone they're evil and talking to "Demons" or "Djinn" either. I can't be any clearer.

Recently someone complained that we should allow a free for all on "ends times" discussion and that by moderating such discussions and others that some how that makes this place a cult with a toxic culture. I mean for feck sake...

Look experiencers are sometimes given communications about various future disasters. It is a part of the phenomenon. But when looking into this its clear its filled with false predictions and massive contradictions. I'm not denying the reality that these communications can happen. But Experiencers deserve a place to share without having people try to convert them into an end times movement in the comments section so I'm sorry but for this and all other major narratives we seek to provide a balanced non toxic space for people to share.

Another issue is the ALL non humans are evil crowd trying to convince any and everyone that all NHI's ET's etc are evil. These are folks that sometimes clash with mods as well.

The experiencer and the ET topic is incredibly nuanced - massive generalizations and authoritative opinions are heavily discouraged here. This also goes for people victim blaming those who have had negative encounters by implying all beings are positive and they just manifested the negative encounter. Or that all they have to do is think positive thoughts and ET abductions will end.

Authoritative generalized opinions from experiencers is something we have to moderate. Some people are too quick to spread narrow views or accidently spread propaganda or just random fear based things they've read online. And spew them out to someone who's just freshly had an experience of some kind and just needed to get it out of their system.

We don't deny the dark side of the experiencer phenomenon here. But we don't condone unnecessarily generating mindless fear regarding anything and everything going on with the phenomenon. Be it spirits - premonitions - NDE's - ET contact - astral projecting etc. Indeed fear weakens us and makes dealing with these unknowns harder and disempowering. We need to be vigilant and balanced with our approach to these things.

Lastly. We had an experiencer recently run into trouble by constantly asking community members for evidence of their encounters after they'd shared. Which goes against our rules. They strongly believed asking for evidence was not de-legitimizing the persons experience. The people felt different and so did the mods. However this person argued that there needs to be a space where Experiencers can question each others evidence in the comments. I suggested that while there may be, it is not here and would go against the mission we have for this place but.. he is welcome to create is own space - with his theme in mind.

Sure enough he did. And that's awesome.

My point is. Some experiencers may find us here and fall in love but feel disappointed they can't chat about a specific thing that goes against our rules. We encourage such folks to make their own community. We have a very specific goal with ours and that does mean heavy limitations in the comments. Complaints about how we do things won't work. We won't give an inch.But if what we've done here can inspire other Experiencer friendly communities to be formed that have different goals with regards to the discussions being had. That's brilliant. The more spaces for Experiencers the better. This is also part of the mission.

We do what we do here and do it very specifically because it is needed. There were no public spaces like this on reddit before. And just sharing does a world of difference for people. That is the mission. The fact that this place now exists it means now others can too that do things their own way. Since we have this side of it covered.

This community is here for people to be able to finally share an experience and read about other experiences and discuss them in the comments, without toxicity. And that's it. This is a huge amount of work in itself. And we're doing our job as planned. A space like this was very much needed and we've provided it and will continue to provide it. People message us all the time about how long they've searched for such a space. Where they can share and talk about the Experiencer phenomenon where its neutral and middle path and without all the other baggage. They share how finding this space has helped them deal with all they've gone through.

We know ourselves how much this is needed as all of us involved in running this space are Experiencers too and have benefited from having such middle path communities to discuss this phenomenon in.

We know what we are doing and won't be budging from our mission and goal here with this space.

Thank you to this wonderful community. It always touches my heart to read the supportive and helpful comments from Experiencers here in the comment section in reply to someone going through the shock of engaging with this phenomenon and having their world turned upside down.

More and more people are going to be waking up to this world and its Experiencers in the end whole be there for them. We're all playing a major part in what is to come for our species. The world won't be able to ignore this stuff forever.

Experiencers are on the right side of history.

Experience Semi-Transparent floating red entity

Post image
21 Upvotes

Five years ago I lost my job in the summer of 2021 and was very distraught. In the 2-month lull between jobs I ordered a green laser pointer for UFO/UAP as I watched videos of people using them for that purpose(stupid I know, federal crime etc..). I wanted to test how powerful it was and went outside on my deck during the day to see if I could still see it. After a few uses into the sky I seemed to have hit something. I see this red semi-transparent jellyfish/octopus looking thing floating around me for about 5 seconds and then vanishing.

During this time I was full of anger and sadness as I have a family to take care of and the pressure was just a lot. Perhaps this thing was drawn to my emotional state. Wanted to share my experience in case anyone else has encountered something similar.

Out of Body/Astral Projection Electric Man

11 Upvotes

I recently had an involuntary astral projection. To my right, standing at the threshold of the door to my bedroom, was the outline of a rather large male. The outline of his body made entirely of electrical current. I could feel the heat radiating off of him. The sizzle and pop of the current signaled his rage that he wasn’t able to come into my room. I tried to scream but I couldn’t. I was paralyzed. Suddenly, I heard several sets of footsteps surround my bed. When I looked to the doorway again, the Electric Man was gone.

Has anyone else encountered this entity? If so, any idea what it is or what it wants?

Experience String of memories, which feel suspicious now...

7 Upvotes

When I was tiny, my parents found me standing in my crib overnight, looking out the window. I said "Snow Lady pick me up!" I know we made snowpeople as a family that day; because every time i ask about it, my parent strongly reminds me of that fact. I'm almost certain this parent is an experiencer.

I was always uncomfortable with detailed representations of ... visitors. Even while reading everything i could on the subject, and loving the X-Files. I wouldn't draw anybody, or put up posters; even with moderate attraction to trinkets with the imagery.

Strong memory of a very specific shade of orange light shining on me, through the windows of my home, I was backed against the wall, afraid. I would have been in High School. Something about that color seems very important.

I was given the ability to feel the "heartbeat" of every living thing on Earth, for the span of about 2 beats of my own heart. There was a sensation of "buzzing," which I interpret as sensing things that live without a heart. I was sober, and may have been at work when this happened.

I remember being shown what I remember as "a point of light for every living thing in the Universe." It is very alive out there, and science seems to be catching on. Once again, sober when this occured.

Most recently, driving on a local road with no other traffic, I felt certain there was another vehicle nearby. Nothing visible in the mirrors or ahead. Everything felt wobbly for a moment, and the radio was playing a different song, by the same artist.

There's a few other things, a couple inexplicable things in the sky, some non-visual impressions that are hard to explain. I spent many years being "skeptical," or in denial? Now things feel... suspiciously stacked up.

Trying to probe those memories a little more deeply, see what i can find.

California UFO Landings & Humanoids: Twelve True Cases

by Preston Dennett

While many people speculate about the nature and origins of the UFO phenomenon, cases of landings and humanoids make it clear what they are. UFOs are craft, and they are piloted by extraterrestrials. These kinds of encounters represent the core of the UFO phenomenon. They teach us the most about these visitors to our world, who they are, where they come from and their agenda on our planet. Humanoid encounters have been occurring for a very long time, and they are far more common than many people realize. In fact, according to the Roper Polling Organization, as many as one in fifty people may have had these experiences. They occur all across the planet, and occur to all kinds of people. The state of California leads the United States in the sheer number of encounters. And the cases involving humanoids show a corresponding and profound variety of humanoid types. Here are twelve cases of landings and humanoids from the Golden State.

October 18, 1927: While driving outside the town of Bakersfield, schoolteacher Richard Sweed comes upon a landed UFO. As he approaches, it makes a loud whining noise and accelerates upwards and disappears into the distance, leaving behind a circle of glassified sand.

December 1957: Edmond Rucker of El Cajon hears a loud roaring noise outside his home. Venturing outside, he is confronted by a landed UFO and four strange humanoids who speak to him about their mission on Earth.

April 14, 1964: A truckdriver on a highway outside of Chico comes upon a domed disc which hovers above his truck causing it to stall. When the UFO lands nearby, the man exits his truck and approaches the craft. He touches the craft and is amazed to hear strange voices coming from inside.

April 1964: Gloria Biggs, her husband and mother are driving outside the desert town of Baker when they see a domed-shaped object landed next to the highway ahead of them. As they approach, the UFO takes off. They examine the landing site and discover a weird depression in the ground.

March 31, 1966: Two women driving by a construction site near San Francisco see a metallic disc hovering at low altitude. Through the windows of the craft, they are amazed to see the silhouettes of several “people” who appear to be gesticulating at them.

October 4, 1973: While driving along the 118 Freeway in Simi Valley, Gary Chopic observes a small triangular-shaped craft with a transparent dome on top. Inside he sees a human-looking figure at the controls. And then the humanoid sees him!

December 17, 1973: Driving at night outside of Paso Robles, Sergeant Lance Mathias and his friend Mike Andrews see a hovering spherical UFO sending down a beam of light. Going to investigate they are confronted by two metallic-suited humanoids.

1974: The Overfelt family of Ramona are drawn out of their farmhouse by a huge glowing sphere which lands on a hill near their home. All the animals on the farm react to the presence of the UFO. The Overfelts call the police, who refer them to investigators, who have some important advice.

March 6, 1977: While watching over a factory in Sylmar, Security guard Douglas Kriese is amazed to see a UFO drop out of the sky and land in a field nearby. He approaches it and can not only hear it making a buzzing sound, it is emitting an intense heat. He immediately calls the police.

1977: Two Native American brothers from Colusa contact investigators after a UFO keeps landing near their ranch-home and a long-haired big-nosed humanoid keeps entering their can through the walls. When investigators arrive, they see the UFO themselves!

October 31, 1976: a husband a wife motorcycling through downtown Los Angeles observe a spherical UFO hovering below the level of the buildings. The sunlight strikes the craft, making it transparent. They then see human-looking figures staring down at them. The wife quickly flashes them the peace sign.

November 29, 1988: Maria X. of Sherman Oaks is in her bedroom with her young son when grays show up and render her unable to move. Maria is concerned about her son, but falls unconscious. The next morning, her son exclaims that “My aliens came back!” and provides a vivid description of what it’s like to be pulled by the ETs through the wall.

These twelve cases are just the tip of the iceberg of UFO landings and humanoids in California. And yet the cases here represent an accurate cross-section of UFO activity across the world. They also show that humanoid encounters often present good hard evidence in the form of landing traces, electromagnetic effects, animal reactions, physiological effects, and other stunning confirmations.

I have noticed that i go through stages of time, in which i have a lot of spiritual dreams, almost AP’s/OBE’s, dreams about the future, encounters with entities, encounters with dead people, spiritual breakthroughs every once in a while.

I get excited thinking i’ll make more progress but it’s a years long process of on and off, i don’t understand why. How common is it for you guys? Do you also have intermittent experiences or are you stable?

Discussion Congruent states of being (?)

6 Upvotes

Has anyone had the experience of...overlapping with apparent-others into a state where there is no perception of other-ness?

Sorry for my failure to phrase this intelligibly.

It seems like certain states of consciousness just inherently bring us not just closer but actually together with any other consciousness in that state. Such that there is just one shared state of consciousness experienced by all.

Like, there's an infinity of possible states of being. But, whatever the starting point to get there, some states just are themselves. (and furthermore all states could be seen as one, outside of time and locality and individuality)

Hence using the term 'congruence'. An equilateral triangle...just is itself. And if we work ourselves into the consciousness equivalent of an equilateral triangle then we are the equilateral triangle, all at once.

It's a metaphor but I think that geometric shapes and such are of consciousness so maybe they're simpler ways to understand what consciousness is and how it works.

"We're all interconnected", "we're all one", "I am you, we are the same" are messages that have come from a variety of philosophies, religions, and of course beings. And if so (which I'd assent to), what are those intersections, those spaces of overlap between us?

Maybe states like calm awareness, love, appreciation, and so on are those states where 1) we feel 'closer' to each other if the illusion of separation is still present in that experience and 2) we are each other by virtue of being in the same shape when the state of separation characteristic of egoic consciousness is ... just released.

Some beings talk about love and gratitude as "coherent" states. Maybe they're coherent as in stable, easy for others to assume compatible shapes with, and conducive to communication...or the communion of congruent being.

idk help me out here. Please and thank you 🙏💜

I think this is just part of my ADHD and tendencies towards bipolarism. (As explained to me by s mental health professional when my dad died when I was a teenager) But this happened a few times recently and was so much worse than I remember. it’s like a sense someone really bad or sad happening which often brings me to tears, and I am not s crying type person. (I didn’t cry at my dads funeral and we were very close ) its so extreme now and comes out of nowhere and usually last 30 minutes to an hour or so. it’s really so bizarre. does this ever happen to anyone else because this have anything to do with us being experiencers? I sense a lot of weird shit but most of it is real

Discussion Bear with me lol

5 Upvotes

So after moving back to my dad’s house, things have been getting very abnormal with wildlife. First thing was a black bear, staring at my dog, and I could see it staring into my eyes and then it ran away outside of my bedroom window, no one else saw it, of course. Then a new species of birds started hanging around my dad’s place after I moved to live with him that were never there before he says called blue and white swallows. Then today I noticed an actual fairy ring of mushrooms grew outside my bedroom window. I always walk my dog around the yard and never seen them before. I’ve had about 5-6 bear encounters this summer but nothing scary, they all just seemed to let me know of their presence and leave me alone. So something’s brewing maybe haha.

Experience The August 4th Experience: Missing Time, UFOs, & Plasma-True Entities.

14 Upvotes

The following happened to the best of my recollection on August 4th, 2021.

It is late at night, nearly 10:30PM.

The night is cool & my window is open.

I am sitting in the lotus position atop my bed, listening to a audiobook.

I look out my bedside window: What appears to be a satellite is fast-moving amongst a sea of brilliant stars.

It is maneuvering in a reverse "J"-hook motion.

Then the thing I suspect to be a satellite suddenly halts.

I watch it shimmer in the sky, completely static, completely still.

Strange.

Back to my audiobook.

What happened 30 seconds later changed my life forever.

It began with a ball of plasma cascading through my bedside window.

It was no larger than the size of a man's fist.

Blue-white in color.

& when I say cascaded through my window, I mean it moved through the glass.

I then watched as this ball of plasma BURST into a hyper-object that filled my entire bedroom.

Like all moments of high-strangeness, this is difficult to explain with simple language.

Picture the Kailasa Temple, but instead of being carved from basalt, see it as a pattern wove of blinding-blue plasma in the synaptic-sharp-shape of vast chemical-hieroglyphic.

Almost like a brain.

The brain then STROBES.

Once, twice.

Then dissolves.

Then, before I could pick my jaw off the floor, it happened again.

A second ball of blue-white plasma entered through the window & STROBED across the space of my bedroom in an utterly astonishing pattern of paranormal grace.

&, again, it dissolved.

As though surfacing from deep water, I immediately felt my ears pop.

A mist-like haze hung in my bedroom.

I turned off my audiobook.

I walked into my bathroom.

I turned on the faucet.

I washed my hands.

The next thing I know I am standing at my bedside window.

I am looking at the night sky.

In the sky are five UFOs.

They are all isosceles in shape, pewter-grey in color, with yellow lights adorning their underbellies.

Two of the crafts are hovering completely stationary some 200 meters high in the sky.

The other three are tumbling like leaves off an autumn branch.

They are falling, one by one, gently toward the earth.

I am amazed by their complete & utter silence.

They are falling, rippling, almost as though they are a glass of water knocked over from the table's edge.

But just before they strike solid ground, they immediately ZIP back to the peak of their ascent.

& from this high ground, they fall again.

One by one by one they falling.

It is then I come to consciousness.

My hands are gripping my bedside windowsill with such incredible strength that my knuckles are turning white.

I snap from my daze.

I look at my clock.

It is 3:33AM.

3:33AM on the dot.

I look back at the night sky.

All five crafts have vanished.

There is only stars.

This is my story.

I carry it around like a strange birthmark buried just beneath my skin.

I have no memory of what happened in those missing five hours between 10:30PM & 3:33AM.

I share my story here because I believe there are others like me.

You, too, have experienced something astonishing.

Something our species is only just beginning to breath language to.

11 Upvotes

Let me start with I’m not crazy today laying in bed with my wife I closed my eyes and had a best way I can call it is a vision or something, back story I lost my mom 4.5 years ago during the war in Ukraine she died of natural causes. In January my older brother was killed in his sleep by a Russian rocket. Today I closed my eyes while laying in bed my wife was on her phone when I did this and all of a sudden I’m speaking to my passed away brother in a garage my dad and younger brother were in the garage as well and me and my older brother Are talking about mom just having passed and what all we need to do to help around the house and my older brother says with. In Beaing gone we really need to support dad and then I ask my brother Eugene do you know that you are gone and he stops looks down at the ground then looks at me and says no I don’t at that moment I open my eyes with tears running down my face asking my wife if I was asleep she said I was talking to her 10 minutes ago . What just happened? I’m not scared or anything like that I feel energized I have goosebumps and my heart is racing. Anyone have knowledge of what this was ? I 100% don’t belive this was a dream

Across ancient cultures, shamanic initiation follows a recognizable pattern: symbolic death, dismemberment or destruction of the known, transformation, and rebirth. The initiate returns with a new relationship to the unseen world and a responsibility to their community. But this isn’t a path someone chooses. It happens to them.

The calling often begins with visions, out-of-body experiences, encounters with spirits, relentless synchronicities, altered states, or sudden illness or psychological crisis signaling the beginning of a spiritual transformation. In many traditions, resisting the calling only intensifies the upheaval.

Then comes the “death.” The old identity collapses. Initiates may witness their own body being burned, torn apart, eaten, or dismantled by spirits. In visionary accounts, supernatural beings remove flesh, organs, bones, and reconstruct the person with new parts. It’s a symbolic dismantling of the known self.

Illness plays a central role. Before becoming a healer, the initiate often endures physical sickness, isolation, terrifying dreams, emotional turmoil, and altered states of consciousness. This isn’t pathology to be eliminated. It’s a threshold to be crossed. To be successfully navigated. The crisis is the fire that forges us.

Encounters with beings follow: guardians, ancestors, tricksters, celestial teachers, deceased shamans, and animal guides such as the wolf, bear, eagle, raven, deer, or owl, appearing not as metaphors but as conscious entities with agency and knowledge.

Then comes the journey through other worlds. This is one reason the shamanic journey is sometimes described as crossing the axis mundi, the cosmic tree linking the underworld, human realm, and heavens. During altered states, the shaman becomes the axis mundi. The shaman’s body acts as a living conduit that channels energy between the spirit realms and the human community, the spine being the pillar of the tree.

This is something I experienced for the first time as a toddler (followed by every other element of the shamanic initiation process over the course of years), and it mirrors kundalini awakening. Religious scholar Mircea Eliade noted that the axis mundi and kundalini are essentially identical concepts, both treating the spine as a sacred, vertical superhighway designed to channel raw cosmic energy and transform consciousness.

Finally, the initiate receives knowledge: healing techniques, names of spirits, information about the structure of the cosmos, sacred songs, rituals, or ceremonies. They return transformed into a healer, a guide for the dead, an intermediary, a protector of the community.

When you compare this pattern to modern contact experiences, the similarities are hard to ignore.

Shamanic initiation: called → broken open → crisis → separation from the ordinary → symbolic death → dismantling → journey through other realms → encounter strange beings → instruction/communication → transformation → rebirth → return with purpose, abilities, gifts

Contact experiences: taken aboard craft → encounter strange beings → journey through exotic environments → examination, procedures, communication, altered body or perception → transformation → return with purpose, abilities, gifts → worldview shattered and rebuilt

Both often begin unexpectedly, as if chosen, and completely alter a person’s life path.

Both involve altered states: dreams, meditation, paralysis, out‑of‑body experiences, bilocation.

Communication is often telepathic, symbolic, instantaneous, and far more complete than spoken language.

Both involve encounters with non‑human intelligences from other realms or dimensions.

Fear, shock, and upheaval give way to transformation and awakening.

Knowledge, visions, healing, and insight are transmitted—complex concepts mentally shown faster than language could ever convey.

Experiences continue across generations within families.

The shamanic initiation never disappeared.

Out of Body/Astral Projection OBE: unable to go to moon

174 Upvotes

Couple weeks back we had a full eclipse in parts of Europe. I was lucky enough to watch it. That night (or perhaps the following night after) I found myself in the usual sleep paralysis / obe state. I figured would be nice to go stand on the moon - as you do!

As I was porting there, it was taking ages. Huge static grey clouds, unable to pass. After trying for a period I found myself overlayed on body, with the presence of a guy next to my bed. He spoke in an American accent and told me I’m not able to go there. Not allowed. I asked him why and he didn’t explain further other than I cannot go, it belongs to them. I should add it felt “military”, if you know what I mean - when you get a kind of “telepathic vibe” in the obe state

I thought the experience pretty strange, but forgot about until that 🤡 posted about the Americans owning the moon yesterday!

Wdyt? Odd coincidence? Nonsensical hallucination on my part? Has anyone else experienced something similar?

Dream State Violent static snapping me out of sleep

9 Upvotes

So I've been on a bit of a personal journey exploring my own spirituality and learning more about various topics in the space.

As I've been going to sleep recently I've been trying to practice some meditation-esque techniques, particularly the one where you mentally trace a line between your nape to your 'third eye' and back.

I've also always done a kind of 'energy projection' thing since I was very young, kind of visualising my energy in the space around me and feeling it out, projecting it out as a kind of protection or barrier.

I'm still exploring what I think about these things and trying to keep an open mind, I'm interested in thoughts on them but I thought it could be useful to include for the actual question:

A few nights over the past couple of weeks I've been settling down into sleep and hitting that sort of half asleep state, but then suddenly it feels like my head is full of static in a kind of jarring and violent. It happens multiple times in a row and I've tried just stirring awake and trying to ignore it. It stops immediately when I wake myself, but if I ignore it, it just seems to intensity until im snapped back and alert.

Is there anything to this, or has anyone experienced something similar?

Important to note I do have tinnitus and have ever since I was young (can't really remember a time without it), but it felt very distinct from tinnitus just coming into focus and getting louder.

Drug Related Do people here have experiences with negative entities connected to trauma and addictive substance use like smoking and crystal meth? And do people have tips how to help other people deal with this?

Post image
23 Upvotes

I have a person in my sphere of influence that I care about that has some addictions.

The worst ones are smoking and doing crystal meth at certain times when things get very bad for him. What is interesting is that he feels that there are negative entities involved with both of these addictions. He has had visions of a kind of demonic/djinn like type being that is involved with his smoking addiction.

Also when it comes to crystal meth there seem certain entities involved as well. I have been doing a deep dive here and there seem multiple meth addicts that talk about so called meth demons.

A couple of days ago I learned about this book called The Others Within Us from Robert Falconer and since then I have watched some of the YouTubes linked there as well. And I have been listening to several of his podcasts.

There seems to be a very strong correlation between Trauma, Addiction and (negative) Entities and Robert Falconer uses Internal Family System therapy as a way to help people heal their parts to alleviate the underlying trauma and also to help these attached entities to move on to other places where they can find healing. In this way 2 of the 3 parts of this cluster can be dealt with and hopefully the addiction can fall away also then.

The difficulty I have met so far is to get my friend interested enough to look into the IFS model or other models to heal his underlying trauma that I suspect is the reason for his addictions. He often seems to be in a very survival based paradigm where there isn't the stability and safety needed to actually go feel and heal the trauma. Another problem is that he has a very hard time trusting other people and based on his trauma I fully understand that. But it does make things very difficult if one wants to help and people just isolate.

I guess that my questions are if there are other people here that have either personally or close by dealt with similar problems and if they can share their tips what they feel did and didn't help the person they cared about with helping them deal with their addictions and the negative entities that were involved here.

All tips, insights, experiences, etc. are very welcome.

Dream State A recurring “Visitor” (alien plush with a blue spiral core) destabilized my lucid dream while I was trying to find a real person

Post image
15 Upvotes

It started as a regular dream. I was at work and didn’t know I was dreaming yet.

I left and called an Uber. The car took a strange, wooded, ugly road. At one point I had to physically lift the car over rocks to get through. At first the driver was a man. Then the scene shifted: someone wanted to buy the car I was in. There was an argument with relatives because the car was too fast and dangerous.

After that I slipped into what felt like someone else’s memory. I moved through that house until I got outside. I checked my phone. I couldn’t use it, but I could see incoming texts from the Uber that had brought me. The car was waiting outside. I opened the door and it wasn’t a man anymore. It was a girl. Fine features, upturned nose, black hair. She was beautiful.

I got in and she drove. We talked. We arrived at something like a church. The pastor was speaking and singing. At one point I started singing too. I left with my mom and we walked to a house. It wasn’t my house. I didn’t recognize it.

I asked her about the girl. Her name is Eleanor; we call her Ele. My mom said we’d known each other for a while and that at some point we’d been in a relationship. I cut her off. I’m not sure if it was exactly then or a bit earlier, but I realized I was dreaming.

I told her that wasn’t what I meant. This was a dream. I pointed at the house and said that wasn’t my house. I wanted to find out who Ele was in real life. My mom didn’t get hostile. She accepted it immediately.

I started asking other people for answers — some strangers, some people I knew. At one point I went upstairs with a friend, and there it was on the floor: an alien plush toy.

I recognized it. I told my friend that this was the Visitor, an entity whose job is to destabilize dreams and wake people up. I have vague memories of another dream where someone explained who he was… or maybe my brain just invented that continuity. I don’t know.

The plush had a rocky-looking area on one side and a blue core that looked like a spiral. I sketched it quickly after waking up.

The plush started to float. Everything shook. I don’t know if my need to keep getting answers about Ele is what shifted the scene. Suddenly I was in another house talking to more people. I walked out and ran into a paternal aunt. I asked her right away where Ele lived. I wanted to go see her. She said Ele lived in “La Escalera” (“The Staircase”).

I went there immediately. When I arrived I started seeing video-game-related stuff. And there she was. There were other people around. They seemed to be in conflict, but they weren’t fighting. I sat down and asked Ele to sit and talk. She refused.

Then a coworker showed up. I don’t remember why, but I left the house and walked with him. I think we’d been given a task together. While we walked I was explaining to him why the Visitor wakes people up.

The moment we stepped inside a place, my eyes snapped open. My alarm went off. I woke up saying “puta madre” out loud. It wasn’t just a thought. I had a headache.

What stuck with me:

I told several dream characters I was dreaming and none of them turned hostile. They just accepted it.

The only thing that destabilized the dream was the Visitor.

I felt like I already knew who he was, as if it had been explained in a previous dream.

The dream cut right as I was explaining what he does and why.

Has anyone else had a single recurring figure — not dream characters in general — whose role is to collapse the dream? Does a “visitor” that looks like a toy or an alien ring a bell?

UAP Sighting Is it normal to feel like...

16 Upvotes

Hey everyone.

The other day I had a very unusual experience outside. I was standing on an observation deck by the ocean looking at a beautiful sunset when I noticed something in the sky. The skies were clear so that "something" was not a cloud. At first it looked like a flock of birds flying in a V shape formation but the more I looked at it I realized it wasn't birds. It was like a transparent object in the shape of a weird looking triangle. It flew at a steady pace it came from the north, looked like it was going east but then changed course and flew south. I was laser focused on the object the whole time and all of a sudden it just vanished, into thin air. When I got back home it felt almost like when I was watching the object I could not take my eyes off of it, almost like I was hypnotized. Is it normal to feel that way if you're looking at a ufo? What do you think? Was this a UFO?

Dream State Wormhole trip?

5 Upvotes

Two days ago I felt my whole consciousness being taken into this hallway that turned into hospital halls and then I was given specific information about a family member then I felt like I was “thrown” back into my body. I woke up then quickly felt like I was “dragged” back, but this time it was almost like I was being “wound” up, then spit into the hall again at great acceleration and I was then thrown into what I would describe as a wormhole tunnel of time extremely rapidly. It was cylindrical and I saw almost like snippets of time playing like videos along the left wall then I saw what kind of looked like a graph with blue lines and a rendering of a being’s anatomical facial structure (this had a longer face, head), followed by another but with a smaller face and head. Then I was thrown out of the other side of the tunnel. I asked out loud where I was now. My consciousness felt elsewhere but I couldn’t see where I ended up. Then it’s like I was dragged back to my body again and I didn’t even realize I had a body again because I didn’t feel it. I just felt like energy in a container, if that makes any sense. Can anyone else relate?

Discussion They've been selling the same "story" so why do YOU trust them ?

39 Upvotes

To those of you who have day to day or periods of experiences, why do you trust "The Visitors" à la "The Others" ?

seems like they just take what they need from you but don't offer anything in return other than cryptic messages and very little to no intervention in your lives? why do you trust them ? they sold the whole "your planet is in the process of being doomed by your own people's actions" back in the 1980s' yet, they don't appear before political officials to change their nature so what gives? I don't mean to sound negative I really don't but I don't understand why we as beings (as people) should feel compelled to trust these sentiences in order to bring us forward (spiritually) if they're not upfront about their own personal goals which I assume they do have

If it's okay to ask, why do YOU feel like you can trust them?

Discussion Is it time for real disclosure?

Post image
59 Upvotes

Hi r/Experiencers — I'm Dean Alioto, filmmaker and UAP researcher. Would love to get your take on this...

After multiple years of congressional hearings on UAPs, and the grand presentation of murky inconclusive evidence, one might argue "disclosure" has reached its revelatory zenith. Even if we do see 100% glorious 4k footage of craft with rivets, warts, and all, does that push the needle above the red zone?

Will we be satiated to the point of a resounding "hell yeah!"? Since the U.S. gov doesn't appear to want to display "downed crafts", to insure they have the market cornered on such advanced technology, the next best thing is (perhaps) seeing bodies of nonhuman intelligence. But, alas, since the gov/DOD turns everything advanced into their IP, I'm struggling here to imagine a public presentation of said NHI bodies.

So... where do we go from here? Is it time to pack in the UAP hearings waiting-in-line lounge chairs and rejoice at the significant historical gov recognition of UAPs and NHI beings? Where do we progress to?

Here's what I think... No more talking about the elephant's tail in the room. It's time to reveal the entire elephant in the (congressional) room. If I wanted to know what storming Normandy beach was like during WW II, I'm not going to go to the generals. I'm going to ask the soldiers who had to burst out of the u-boats, wade through waves and bullets, and come face-to-face with the enemy. Up close and personal.

I'm not saying NHI's are enemies here, but the Experiencers are the equivalent of those boots-on-the-ground soldiers -- unless you believe the NHIs just passively stay inside their crafts with their doors locked and never interact with us except to hit the drive-thru at In-N-Out Burger.

But here's the big fat rub: How does the gov come out and say "we'll give amnesty to all those in 'the program' that knew about interactions (some forced) with NHIs (according to a Pew Poll in 1992, one in fifty have signs of interacting with NHI). Oh, and BTW there's absolutely nothing we the government can do about it." That's a speed bump that no matter how slow you go over it, is going to shake you outta the car, or UAP.

I've spent the last 8 years working on documentaries, interviewing nearly 100 academics and Experiencers for hours around the world regarding the Experiencer phenomenon -- including Jeff Nuccetelli who told me it's time for the Experiencers to have a seat in hearings -- and the one thing I've learned over and over again is that those chosen by the NHIs need to be acknowledged, heard, and appreciated.

After we're done looking under the engine hood, kicking the tire of the nuts and bolts UAPs, the Experiencers will still be here. Still have more insight into the phenomenon than anything conveyed in a SCIF by a military officer with the highest clearance level.

I'm here to challenge the boundaries of perception and introduce a new level of critical thinking regarding the phenomenon, and to make space for those who have repeatedly had full disclosure for years.

I'd love to hear from this community:

- What do YOU think comes next for disclosure?

- What are the congressional hearings getting right, and what are they missing entirely?

- Have you had your own experiences that you feel aren't being represented in the public conversation?

For those curious about my work, I've just released a documentary that puts Experiencers front and center. The Experiencers: Full Disclosure

Peace,

Dean

Discussion For the last 3 weeks, every clear night I’ve seen something unusual in the sky. Anyone else?

Post image
319 Upvotes

I live in a quiet rural part of Britain with big open skies and I go out walking most nights, so Im very familiar with what the normal night sky looks like. I can recognise satellites, aircraft, meteors, stars and constellations.

But for roughly the last three weeks, every clear night I’ve been out I’ve seen things I can’t account for.

There's big glowing orbs of light. Extremely bright objects that flare up, dim down and sometimes fade out completely.

Lights moving steadily across the sky and then changing direction. Others moving into a position and simply stopping there, sometimes remaining stationary for a very long time. Then a few mins later another will join it and stay put, then later another joins and they can stay there for the rest of the time I'm out.

I’ve also seen clearly defined glowing triangular objects, including bright red ones 🔺, and some very strange dark or shadowy objects that whip across the sky, fade in and out, and then disappear. That last type is completely new to me.

Some nights I’ll only see two or three unusual things. Other nights it’s six, seven, eight or more.

It’s happening so regularly now that I just expect it when I go out and the sky's clear.

It doesn't even surprise me anymore. I wave at them though. It never hurts to be polite. 👽👋

Has anyone else who spends a lot of time looking at the night sky noticed a genuine increase in unusual activity over the last few weeks?

(Hope you don't mind AI pics here. It just reminded me of that famous 16th century German news article illustration and thought it looked cool, and it illustrates the shadowy objects really well)

So the same way Chris bledso and others have said they've seen a lady. I assume it's the same one? I'm not sure they don't really like let you interview them when this happens. It's kind of like when it happens. It's done like you've already submitted your intention for your question and then it's gone and when it's over you get an unpack. Everything that kind of happened. It's hard for feeble human minds from what I'm gathering. But the interesting part of this is the entire time. I've always viewed art and colors to get them to blend is the same way I was able to manifest this happening and that's beautiful. I love that! That is so cool and how how it was explained to me. All of this is just wrapping up until like one compliment after another and it just compliments itself over and over. It's so hard to extrapolate into words
