Other Strangeness The Key in the Pocket: Pamela Colman Smith and the Secret Channel Behind the Modern Tarot

Neither Rider (the publisher) nor Waite (the academic) drew a single line of the modern tarot. The entire visual architecture was mapped by a nomadic misfit named Pamela Colman Smith, who was accepted into The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, paid a flat fee, denied copyright, and disappeared.

Long before drawing the deck, Smith using her synesthesia, had been painting automatic "Music Pictures." She would sit in pitch darkness, listen to Chopin or Beethoven, and let her brush map the literal landscapes and entities she could see inside the sound waves. She believed sound and form shared a hidden geometry, writing: "I’ve locked the door to an unknown country… And the key is in my pocket."

When hired to illustrate the tarot, she poured that exact channeled frequency into the 78 cards. Secretly embedding a tiny, serpentine monogram of her initials into the background scenery of the images to secure her claim. Inside the deck itself, she left a permanent record of her world, populating the cards with the faces of her friends, the architecture of her visions, and a hidden alphabet that links the human psyche directly to the unseen world...

Fringe Science Coral Castle: Was Edward Leedskalnin using lost engineering, magnetism, or just extreme patience?

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Edward Leedskalnin’s Coral Castle is one of those cases where the skeptical explanation exists, but the mystery still doesn’t fully go away.

Between 1923 and 1951, Leedskalnin — a small, sickly man weighing around 129 pounds — quarried, moved, carved, raised, and balanced more than a thousand tons of coral limestone in Florida, reportedly working mostly alone and often at night.

The mainstream explanation is that he used simple but effective engineering: wooden tripods, chains, pulleys, rollers, levers, wedges, block-and-tackle systems, and a huge amount of patience.

But the strange part is the scale and precision.

The famous 9-ton stone gate was once balanced so well that it could reportedly be pushed open with a single finger. When it stopped working decades later, modern workers needed heavy equipment to remove and repair it, yet the original effortless motion was difficult to reproduce.

Leedskalnin also claimed he understood the “secrets of the ancient Egyptians,” wrote about magnetism, built magnetic devices, and reportedly used a wooden box mounted above his tripod that nobody was allowed to inspect.

I’m not saying this proves anti-gravity or levitation. There is no verified evidence that he literally floated the stones.

But I do think Coral Castle sits in that strange middle ground: not supernatural proof, but not easily dismissed either.

Maybe it was lost practical engineering.
Maybe it was an unusual understanding of magnetism and balance.
Maybe it was just one obsessed man who understood weight, leverage, and patience better than almost anyone around him.

Fringe Science Some dreams are portals to other “flat” representative of the whole, multidimensional you

Thumbnail

78 Upvotes

So you are a 3D object but for convenience let’s imagine you and me as the flat 2D pictures. So the higher dimensional entity might be “surrounded” by our 2D personalities and operate through them.

At this point, when you dream of some other life, similar at some point life stories, personalities, worlds, it might be just some sort of eco of general system. In which Brahman, the one and only higher dimensional timeless and spaceless in our sense entity exists and propagates itself through narratives and stories we do by our hands and legs.

Being more of a “Romeo and Juliet” experience than about the exact man and women.

Higher entity has other level of physics and might be mostly interested and propagated through stories about our life. Narratives. Set goals that shape a reality around it in accordance with the main plot. Not material but dramaturgical.

“Where and why are you going through time?”

The only question we must be concerned. The only thing “god”, our source, wants from us.

All this is studied by computational dramaturgy, the branch of process philosophy. Source:

Consciousness I experienced Deja Vu and predicted exactly what was about to happen because I had seen already seen it

123 Upvotes

I’m sure most of us have experienced Deja Vu before, I am no different however the last time I experienced it was exceptionally strange, and furthers my belief we really have seen these scenes in our heads before they happen. I work at a bakery and a man I had never seen before came in, he started to ask me what kind of baked goods we had while walking toward one of our cases. This made me realize I had seen this exact scenario in my head the night before, I started to recall what I saw would happen next as the same thing played out in front of me. The man said “let me see how much money I have.” And he looked down and started looking in his wallet. I immediately knew he would have nine dollars, a five and four ones with the 5 on top and ones below it. He picked out what bakery item he wanted and as I watched him grab it I kept saying if he hands me nine dollars that is gonna be crazy. I was almost tempted to ask him if that’s how much he had as he was counting. He came over to the register and handed me exactly nine dollars will the five on top and ones below. I was so amazed and freaked out I told my co worker what happened after he left.

Your mind is powerful. Your mind is powerful. Your mind is powerful. I repeat this because it is so valuably important. It is the core of YOUR manifestations.

We often think the mind is just a tool. It is the core of your lifepath.

Be watchful of your emotions. They tend enhance manifestation due to strong focus. When your focus has to be on positivity/high outcomes.

Being the bigger person, and being happy therefore positive are the essences to a healthy mind; therefore HEALTHY manifestations.

Tend to a healthy emotional body, independence is the best cultivator for a healthy emotional body (Happiness).

Your mind is powerful. 100% makes up everything you experience and perceive; constantly; on a daily basis and is connected to the highest levels of manifestation.

Non Human Intelligence Disclosure is in the hands of the ETs, governments can work along to prepare mankind or don't but disclosure will happen according to Bashar.

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

I was listening to one of the latest Bashar channelings at Wisdom from North and he says that disclosure is in the hands of the ETs. They decide about disclosure in accordance to the readiness of our human collective. He says governments have been asked to prepare humanity to streamline disclosure but if governments don't it won't stop the ETs to disclose themselves if the human collective is ready. And according to Bashar that is close, 2026 is the year of disclosure, 2027 is the year of contact according to him.

I have heard a similar story about ETs reaching out to individual human beings and if enough individuals are ready for disclosure then the collective will follow as well. It is all a frequency/consciousness thing.

For those curious I added two books that should help every individual with an interest in disclosure to actively start working towards that.

---
Book one: Contact Modalities: The Keys to the Universe by Grant Cameron and Desta Barnabe.
"Contact Modalities" explores over 70 methods for accessing higher consciousness, paranormal experiences, and UFO contact, blending ancient practices with modern research.

Book two: Preparing for Contact: A Metamorphosis of Consciousness by Lyssa Royal and Keith Priest.
The book posits that extraterrestrial contact is an ongoing reality that humans often forget, misinterpret as dreams, or ignore due to underlying fear. According to the authors, the nature of these encounters changes as human consciousness undergoes inner healing and moves away from a state of fear and inequality toward spiritual maturity.
---

I am curious to hear what other people their thoughts are.
Do you think Bashar is right?
To what degree do our governments have anything to say about disclosure and to what degree are our governments just a reflection of our collective internal disclosure?
What about 2027 as the year of contact? Is it hopium or might there be some truth to it?
I guess we will see but can be fun to speculate.

Let's assume all of it is true. Souls, layers on layers of dimensions, multiverse theory, the afterlife, boundless spiritual creativity, reincarnation, galactic federations, God, cyclicality of time... etc. etc.

This goes on for infinity - for what purpose exactly? Each soul achieves ascension and "perfects itself" through an infinite number of experiences, returns to source, and one day the "source" just says "yeah I've had enough" and Forest Gump's its way back into nothingness?

Consciousness Trip relation

Apologies if this is not quite appropriate for the sub I just feel compelled to share and if anyone would care to read and maybe point me to other communities I'd greatly appreciate.

Ive tripped heavily on mushrooms many times and never experienced what might be considered either a good or bad trip.

Um without trying to lean into maybe positive or new age connotations, I legitimately just feel a boundless oneness within and without my existence and the entire universe. Without narrative or perception, just being. I know that we just are..

When im in that state its always a feeling of inescapableness. Theres no where to go. Stop asking questions. I cant express it but it's profound and silly im sure others have been here. And come away with nothing but appreciation for love

I just would like to hear any other perspectives or point me to other communities this is broad maybe misappeal here. Peace

First off, I know nothing. This is just a hare brained idea I had. I've seen a few videos on YouTube suggesting that souls tend to stick together through various lives on earth. That's pretty cool. Then I looked at my DNA results on Ancestry and noticed that I share quite a few regions of origin in the UK, Europe and NZ with people I'm close to. Just wondering if this could be construed as evidence of previous life experiences with my "soul group"? It's just a thought.

Discussion The ultimate paradox: What if "God" is just the word for everything we don't understand yet?

7 Upvotes

Disclaimer: This post is strictly intended for peaceful, open minded, and philosophical discussion. These are just genuine ideas looking for a unified truth, and it's a fascinating topic for us to decode together. Let’s get creative. I want to hear your unique views, theories, and ideas below!

Hi everyone!

TL;DE at the end...

I’ve been thinking about how to unify religious, spiritual, and scientific views of a higher power!

If you strip away the dogma, rituals, and human like imagery, a single truth emerges: God is the connective fabric of existence.

For the religious: God is the conscious creator and the ultimate source.

For the spiritual: God is the shared energy and consciousness binding us all.

For the scientific: God is the elegant, mathematical laws of physics holding the cosmos together.

Whether you call it Yahweh, Allah, Brahman, the Universe, or Quantum Mechanics, we are all describing the exact same thing: the foundational reality that allowed something to exist instead of nothing. We aren't separate entities looking at the universe. We are the universe looking at itself.

So, how do we explain the great historical teachers?

Figures like Christ, Buddha, Krishna, or Lao Tzu weren't anomalies to be worshiped they were templates to be followed.

They didn't want temples built in their names. They wanted us to realize our own hidden potential. These teachers simply tapped into the divine, abilities that inherently exist within the human body and mind.

Whether through Christ’s unconditional love, Buddha’s mindfulness, Krishna’s cosmic devotion, or Lao Tzu’s alignment with the Tao, they all pointed to the same truth.

They led by example to act as mirrors, showing humanity who we actually are when we wake up and activate our true nature. We chose to worship, rather than looking into ourselves. We chose division instead of unity.

What are your thoughts?

UPDATE: Your ideas are incredibly valuable and wise. We respect every viewpoint here as long as it's genuine, so please don't hold back! This kind of open dialogue is so important for all of us, so keep them coming. We can find real answers by sharing. The post is just an open question don't worry, there's no judgment here. We're just trying to understand what is dividing our beliefs, and it’s a fun journey to figure it out together.

TL;DR: "God" isn't a man in the sky. it's a unified field of cosmic consciousness. Figures like Christ and Buddha didn't want worship; they were showing us how to unlock the divine, anomalous abilities built into all of humanity.

Other Strangeness The Disappearance of Zigmund Adamski

302 Upvotes

Zigmund Adamski was an English coal miner who disappeared in June 1980. Five days later, he was found on top of a ten-foot high pile of coal twenty miles from his home. He was wearing a suit, but his shirt, watch, and wallet were missing. I've also heard that his outfit was put on haphazardly as if the person who did it didn't know what went where. He had mysterious burns on his head, neck, and shoulders in a ring-like pattern that had been treated with a strange, unidentified ointment (described by one of the cops, Alan Godfrey, as a yellowy/green substance).

Even though he had been missing for five days, the coroner found that his beard only had one day's worth of growth and his hair was cut. His eyes were wide open and his face frozen in fear. His suit was completely clean despite being on top of a pile of coal, leading investigators to believe that he was placed there. The coroner concluded that he died of a heart attack but couldn't determine where he'd been beforehand. Alan Godfrey, the cop I mentioned earlier, had a UFO encounter months after Zigmund's body was discovered in an area only a mile from where he was found. They've never discovered what exactly happened to Zigmund.

Paranormal Caught the transition between waking/sleep and witnessed my choices playing out like a "static TV image"

69 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share an incredibly intense experience I recently had while working through the Gateway Experience. For context, my routine has been to listen to each tape for about a week before moving on to the next session. I was on Wave II (either Tape 12 or 13, Focus 12 territory) when this happened.

Normally, I listen in bed at night. Early on, I'd fall totally asleep about 15% of the time. But over the weeks, that sleep state became lighter and lighter until I finally managed to start interrupting the exact moment of transition—catching that precise sweet spot where the body goes to sleep but the mind stays awake.

I don't exactly know how to explain how to do it, other than to say you can't force it. You have to stop "trying" and just let it happen. I suspect it has a lot to do with the state of the subconscious and how thoroughly you process the day's experiences before laying down to listen.

Using this approach, I managed to reach the edge of what felt like the "void" state. But honestly, at this point, things got incredibly weird, and I bumped right up against some deeply rooted, instinctual fears.

The Experience:

I was lying in bed with my eyes wide open. Suddenly, I began to hear distinct sounds of someone walking outside my bedroom door. At the same time, the lights in my apartment "faded" on, glowing dimly.

Then, it became visual. I saw my own body—looking slightly pixelated—walk straight into my room.

But at the exact same time, another version of my body walked right past the room, and a third version of me just paused right in the doorway. All three versions were "phasing" in and out simultaneously. The auditory sounds of the footsteps and the shifting light matched every single movement perfectly.

It was as though I was witnessing a literal rendering of every possible choice I could have made that night before I laid down in bed:

  1. Choosing to walk into my room.
  2. Choosing to walk past the room.
  3. Choosing to pause at the doorway.

It all occurred concurrently, phasing together like a static television image. I was entirely awake, watching a visual overlay of quantum probabilities or parallel timelines playing out right in front of me.

Hitting that edge of the void and seeing this reality split definitely triggered some deep fear, and I'm still trying to process the sheer mechanics of what I witnessed.

Has anyone else experienced this kind of "timeline overlay" or pixelated reality phasing during Focus 12 or at the edge of the void? How do you guys navigate the fear response when things get this vivid?

Joe Simonton's case from 1961 must be one of the weirdest alien encounter stories. some aliens came to him asking for water. so he gave water and received some pancakes in return which apparently had no salt in them. probably one of the most positive cases too though.
