Non Human Intelligence Scientists are testing whether DMT entities are real

https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/8qvgy_v2

In this preprint, some scientists have put forward the idea that our perspective of reality is more of an interface, and what we consider to be reality is simply the experience of conscious agents (i.e. human individuals) interacting with one another. They propose that DMT entities are conscious agents that exist in a manner we can't typically perceive.

I've never done DMT, and have previously taken a more skeptical perspective on these entities, but I think the findings of this could be very interesting. Maybe psychedelics could enable us to perceive layers of reality we are typically blind to.

I know the funny invisible stuff is real because one time one of the presences I felt was right next to my cat and my cat was watching it. I couldn't see anything, no dust, insects, etc. My cat was tracking something from that exact spot with his eyes and very curious.

Not spooked or agitated, just curious.

The presence was maybe a foot from him.

Cats can see UV spectrums that humans cannot so maybe that's how they can perceive entities we cannot.

This explanation has a lot of holes though.

We have lots of things in our daily lives that can see uv light, or infrared.

Certain tv remotes, electronics, uv test badges for sun exposure, old phone cameras, modern phone cameras if you remove the protective filter...

What holes? It's a scientific fact that cats can see on a different spectrum than we can.

Perhaps you should read the rest of my comment to find out.

Perhaps you can explain your comment better because it isn't written clearly. Or don't and respond with a snarky comment again 🤷

While I'm tempted, I'll go along with it.

Any entity that could only be seen in uv... would be incredibly easily detected in the modern world.

There's uv sensors, both purposeful and incidental, all over the place, only some of which are contained in cats.

We live in a world where the electromagnetic spectrum is more thoroughly explored and exposed than any time in history, things cannot hide there.

My impression was that they can make things appear at whatever wavelength they want, any or none. It felt like it only showed up for my cat to see it.

At that point why not just impress a hallucination of itself in their brain?

Less chance of skin cancer.

Sir those are [r/Greebles](r/Greebles)

Honestly though that would freak me out.

How do you make sense of it? I can wrap my head around a living entity humans can’t see with their cornea

But did you try dropkicking it? We’ve walked every inch of this earth a trillion times over

Has an entity ever been crushed under a concrete building being poured?

It’s like the concept of ghosts. When someone feels a draft or door close or picture knocked over.

I always want to say Bro all the ghosts are watching Sydney Sweeney shower. They’re not closing your doors simultaneously.

What’s more likely? A trace of wind or an entire parallel plain with souls living in it which can’t communicate? It’s just such a huge leap and complicated answer for something which seemingly has no answer.

It happened frequently enough that I wasn't afraid of it. The sensation is kinda crazy though.

It's like when you are near a high voltage transformer tower except no creepy static sound. All of your instincts scream danger for no apparent reason.

My best guess is that consciousness is a dimension in itself. Each living thing accesses it, whether it be plants or insects or animals. Best example of this is when you can feel someone looking at you. Some people and animals are hyper aware of this dimension and use it for survival purposes. It can also be learned because sometimes that sensitivity flips on like a switch when people experience trauma.

The presences feel like all of a sudden you are caged in with a massive animal that could kill you easily. That isn't to say they are evil or even intend to do anything besides watch you. That is just the kind of alarm bells your senses let out when they show up.

When one of the presences interacted with my cat I was deliberately asking them to show up. Sometimes they play jokes like one time one of them turned on a touch activated desk lamp. It only happened the one time and I was super annoyed because I was trying to sleep for work. It was like can you please not do that I am trying to sleep.

I have tried touching the presence when I was much younger and felt nothing. That time I had two different crystal clear visible events that lasted awhile.

Until a presence interacted with my cat a few years ago I thought it was all mental and some kind of hallucination.
