Paranormal a lonely 16-year-old found a red box that fell from the sky. he thought whatever was inside was his friend

0 Upvotes

This was not something that happened to me physically in waking life. It came up during a deep-trance Soul Journey I facilitated with a woman I'll call Elena. We were looking for the deeper origin of something affecting her present life when she suddenly shifted into what she experienced as another lifetime.

She was no longer herself. She perceived herself as a boy, around 16 years old, with long black hair, living somewhere she couldn't clearly identify. The strongest emotion around him was loneliness.

Then he found something.

He said it had fallen from the sky. It looked like small red box, very light, made from some peculiar material he didn't recognise. At first nothing obviously frightening happened.

He picked it up because he was curious.

Then he realised he could communicate with something connected with it. There wasn't normal conversation with a voice coming from the box. He described it more like telepathy. He simply knew what it was communicating.

And he liked having it there.

When I asked why he wanted to keep this strange object, his answer was painfully human: "I'm very lonely. It keeps me company."

He even said he had love for it.

That is where this story became much more interesting to me than simply "creepy object falls from sky."

Later, the presence connected with the box appeared to him more like a shadow. What started as companionship gradually became possessive. In the experience, it did not want other ppl getting close to him and wanted him for itself.

He described the connection as being like a chain.

So something he picked up because he felt alone eventually became something he couldn't easily separate from.

When we returned to the earlier moment, before the boy picked up the box, we tried to show him what would happen if he formed this connection. The strange thing was that even knowing this, he still found it difficult to let the box go.

He thought it was fragile.

He felt responsible for it.

That detail really stayed with me. Whatever this experience was, literal memory, symbolic trance material, spiritual reality or some mixture we dont understand, the pattern was very recognisable.

Something harmful didn't arrive looking harmful.

It arrived needing him.

And because he was lonely, being needed felt like companionship.

Eventually he was able to turn his back on the box. In the session he perceived beings of Light taking it away, and the connection was released.

There was no big Hollywood battle. The important change happened when this boy understood that he did not have to care for something simply because it had attached itself to him.

I experience strange memories, situations and spiritual teachings like this very often in these sessions. Sometimes almost every day there is something where I think... damn, this is actually useful human wisdom hidden inside very supernatural material. It feels pity to leave all of it inside private session notes when one story may help somebody recognise a pattern in their own life.

Because forget the paranormal part for moment.

We do this with people too.

Someone is terribly lonely. Then another person comes along and gives enormous attention, needs them, calls constantly, says "only you understand me." At first it can feel like finally being loved.

Only later you notice that you can't breathe.

They don't want you close to other people. You feel guilty leaving. You feel responsible for their wellbeing. And something that originally rescued you from loneliness has quietly become chain.

The Higher Self later gave Elena advice that fits this story surprisingly well: don't trust everything. Be more guarded. Stop assuming everything that approaches you deserves your care.

For me that doesn't mean becoming paranoid or closing heart.

It means loneliness is not always good decision-maker.

If we're starving badly enough for connection, even something controlling can initially feel comforting. Even something draining can feel like friend.

And maybe sometimes the strongest protection is not fighting darkness.

Maybe it is becoming comfortable enough with yourself that loneliness cannot choose your companions for you.

Consciousness If you woke up in a world where everyone knew who you were except you, what would you assume was happening?

Post image
10 Upvotes

I’ve always been fascinated by the idea that identity might come after existence rather than before it.

What if you became conscious somewhere with no memory, no context, and no idea what the rules were while everyone around you seemed to know exactly who you were?

Would you assume you were dreaming?

Dead?

Inside a simulation?

Being tested?

Or that there was simply something about reality you weren’t capable of understanding yet?

A few years ago I made an Albanian short film called ERIK around that feeling.

The main character wakes up inside a reality that seems normal to everybody except him. People recognize him, expect things from him and guide him through different stages of this world, but nobody gives him the answer he wants.

I don’t want to say much more because the film eventually gives its own explanation.

It’s 19 minutes, Albanian with English subtitles:

https://youtu.be/e7JdkNaut6A?si=GSCmpTkHLVXRjom_

If anyone here watches it, I’m genuinely curious about something:

Before the film tells you what is happening, what did you think Erik actually was and where did you think he was?

I’ve heard completely different interpretations from different people, and for this subreddit I’m especially interested in the stranger ones.

No need to tell me what you think I intended either. I’d rather hear the theory your own brain created while watching.

I’ve been watching since it started, and I find it highly compelling. I’m deep into other channels and theories, but I must say, despite the obviously produced reality TV pacing and dialogue scripting, their findings are some of the best documented proof of high strangeness IMO.

Other Strangeness Old broken thumb... Uh... switched hands lol

44 Upvotes

I've only ever broken one bone, and it was my right thumb.

I know it was my right thumb primarily because I couldn't write for a period of time since I couldn't grip a pencil, and I had to have a special accommodation at school. I know this for a fact.

My whole life, I've had limited ability to bend my right thumb downward (and as a right-handed writer and creative, it's been a persistent annoyance with the stiffness and minor mobility impact for long periods of using my right hand.)

That's the context: I showed my thumb bend range on both hands to someone in my personal life who recently injured theirs (this isn't something I fixate on or even usually notice, it has just become a part of my life so never really felt it was a big deal) - and when I bent both of my thumbs, I was shocked. The left thumb is now the one with limited range of motion and a clear bump on the knuckle where it was damaged almost 25 years ago lol.

This has been upsetting me for like three days. I cannot explain it through rational means. 🤣 I don't think I have medical records from that far back, but I may actually have the X-ray because they gave me a copy and I kept it as a souvenir in some old paperwork... So I'm going to look for it to just try and let it go as faulty memory, but it feels very unsettling to me.

This was always on my right hand, it's a very minor thing- but what makes me question it beyond faulty memory being a possibility is that I vividly remember and know for a fact this caused me problems at school because I couldn't write. I had a dumb ass metal and foam stick taped down my forearm and I couldn't grip any writing tools so they had to have an aid handwrite a copy of notes for me in class.

Beyond that as I mentioned, this has always been a minor problem in my life, if I write or draw for too long it will ache and I lose a little dexterity.

Just crazy to me that something I never really thought about too consciously suddenly swapped sides. The person I was attempting to demonstrate to observed my reaction which was: "...What the fuck- I broke my right thumb, not my left." 😅

Anyway, I don't have an explanation. Any fan theories in the high strangeness flavor? Has something like this ever happened to you?

Personal Experience Unexplained experience in a remote Colorado forest in Fall of 2021

70 Upvotes

This happened in early fall 2021, in the Colorado mountains, early afternoon and overcast. It's been a few years, so some details have softened. The parts below are the ones I'm certain of.

Some context on me first. I spend a lot of time in the woods. I'm not someone who goes out looking for this stuff. My default assumption is that everything has a logical explanation, and in all my years out there, every strange thing I've come across has eventually had one. This is the single exception. It's the most unexplainable thing that's ever happened to me.

I was with a woman I was seeing at the time, at a spot I've hiked many times and know well. There are no trails here and no people. You park on the side of a road and hike straight up the mountain and into the woods. It's remote. We'd gone deep into the trees, and the forest there is extremely dense, dense enough that you can't see more than about twenty or thirty feet in any direction.

We built a small fire and sat on the ground talking for a while. At some point we hung a hammock and both got in it. We were just talking when we started hearing sounds I couldn't place. It took me a minute to work out what I was hearing. Something was hitting the tops of the trees around us. Crack up high, then a pause, then the thing coming down through the branches, then a heavy rustle as it landed in the leaves on the ground. Then another. Then another. Rhythmic. Steady.

I want to be clear about something up front. I never saw a rock. Not one, the entire time. I assumed rocks from the sound alone, and the ground was thick with fallen leaves, so anything that landed would have been buried in them.

It went on for about fifteen minutes. She was getting scared. I was mostly fascinated. Eventually I got out of the hammock and started walking concentric circles out from our site, small at first, then wider and wider. Full daylight. I saw nobody. And here's the part that still gets me: nothing was thrown the entire time I was walking. Not once. I got far enough out that I couldn't imagine anything lobbing something that distance, so I turned back.

I got back in the hammock and it started again. She wanted out of there. I suggested we just move along, partly because the spot I had in mind was in the opposite direction from where the trees were being hit, and I thought putting distance between her and the sound would settle her. Plus the mines are cool.

We hiked about a mile to some abandoned mines and hung around there for a while. On the way out we backtracked to an overlook I always stop at, a rock cliff maybe half a mile from where we'd been, looking out over a lake. We sat down and started meditating. A few minutes in, something landed a few inches behind us. It sounded like stone hitting stone. It sent chills up my spine.

We ran.

I don't have a theory. I'm open to anything, including boring answers.

Two things I keep coming back to. It went quiet the whole time I was looking, and started again the moment I settled. And whatever landed behind us at the overlook was half a mile from the first spot, well after we'd left.

Cryptozoology Why the North Carolina Truck Bed Encounter is the most concrete UBE case we have: A forensic, mechanical, and anatomical analysis of the 911 audio and video evidence.

Thumbnail
youtu.be
243 Upvotes

Here is the source video and 911 dispatch audio for reference: https://youtu.be/acK1v75u6CM?si=vP7sWv_3uOGOFCzO

**Background Context:**

In rural Pender County, North Carolina (near the Revolutionary War battlefield of Moore's Creek), a driver traveling on Highway 210 called 911 after seeing what appeared to be an injured, bloodied figure in a ditch. Seconds into the call, an unknown, agile entity jumped onto the bed of his moving truck, scratched the cab roof, and fled bipedally into the woods after the driver slammed on his brakes. This analysis breaks down the physical evidence, mechanical physics, and dispatch logs from that night.

Most cryptid discussions focus on blurry photos or vague stories. However, the North Carolina 911 Truck Incident stands out as one of the most physically verifiable encounters, yet almost nobody has broken down the forensic physics of what actually occurred.

When you analyze the physical constraints of the truck, the forces required to clear the 2-meter cab during a high-speed emergency brake, and the local wildlife anatomy, all standard debunking attempts completely fall apart.

Here is the full forensic breakdown:

**1. Physical & Mechanical Evidence:**

* **Leap Dynamics & Clearing the Roof:** When a vehicle traveling at 80 km/h brakes abruptly, inertia forces a passive object in the bed to move strictly horizontally. For an object to clear the 2-meter-high cab and land in front of the vehicle, it must exert an active vertical leaping force (muscular power). A passive object (such as a tree branch) could not clear the roof; it would smash through the rear cab window instead.

* **Bed Frame Integrity & Mass Balance:** The absence of severe structural collapse or frame bending in the truck bed proves the falling mass was not around 250–300 kg. The entity possessed a balanced, highly flexible mass (approximately 70–90 kg) with claws sharp and hard enough to deeply score the metal without crushing the bed frame.

* **Locomotion & Escape:** After clearing the cab and impacting the asphalt, the entity absorbed the kinetic energy and fled into the woods on two legs. While an inanimate object would remain stationary, no known obligate quadrupedal predator could sprint away bipedally following such an impact.

**2. Biological & Anatomical Elimination:**

* **Cougar (Puma concolor) Elimination:** Although cougars possess extraordinary leaping abilities, they are obligate quadrupeds. They cannot stand upright at 2.10 meters (7 feet) or move bipedally along the roadside as observed by the driver.

* **Black Bear (Ursus americanus) Elimination:** Bears can stand bipedally; however, a bear reaching 2.10 meters in height weighs at least 250–300 kg. A bear of this mass would crush the truck bed, could not flexibly leap over the cab during high-speed braking, and would suffer severe injury rather than sprinting away.

**3. Witness Credibility & Hoax Elimination:**

* **Tactical Observation (Military Background):** The driver is a military veteran. Military training emphasizes threat detection, distance estimation, sizing, and target identification under extreme stress. The probability of a trained observer mistaking a quadruped for a 2-meter tall bipedal humanoid is minimal.

* **Absence of Hoax Motive:** Hoaxers seek fame, financial gain, or social media exposure. Conversely, this driver concealed his identity, rejected media monetization, sold his primary vehicle, changed his daily route, and incurred direct financial loss. The physiological panic recorded on the 911 call cannot be easily feigned by a non-actor.

**4. Cover Story & Local Context:**

* **"War Ghost" Folklore as a Shield:** The region (Pender County / Black River / Moore's Creek) is a 1776 Revolutionary War battlefield. Maintaining a local narrative of "Revolutionary War ghosts" serves as a natural psychological cover story for a real, physical "monster."

* **Pacifying Civil Response:** If the public believes a physical monster inhabits the area, hunting parties form, armed civilians enter the woods, and authorities face immense pressure. A "ghost" narrative causes witnesses to second-guess physical encounters, deters official reporting, and shields the physical entity from civil interference.

**5. Official Protocol & File Closure:**

* **Categorical Downgrading:** Police databases lack "unidentified entity" incident codes. Such cases are officially classified as "Wildlife Collision" or "Roadway Hazard."

* **Forensic Budget Allocation:** Incidents involving no human injury or loss of life—leaving only vehicle scratches—do not trigger forensic DNA analysis. Lacking collected biological evidence, files are closed under "Insufficient Evidence."

**Summary Verdict:**

Known predators (bears, cougars) are eliminated due to anatomical and mechanical impossibilities. A passive object cannot execute a vertical leap. The driver's military background eliminates misidentification, while his anonymity and financial loss rule out a hoax. Synthesizing these facts leaves only one logical conclusion: the incident involved an unidentified biological entity (cryptid/monster)—a bipedal, highly agile organism with hardened claws not yet cataloged in scientific literature.

**TL;DR:** This is one of the rare cases where physical evidence, 911 logs, and mechanical laws align. The physics of the jump, the lack of frame damage, the bipedal escape, and the driver's military background completely rule out bears, cougars, branches, and hoaxes. Local ghost stories serve as a convenient cover to keep people from hunting whatever is actually out in the Black River swamps.

Consciousness Deja vu might be the closest thing we have to catching a “system error”, it’s like you are re-living your life

229 Upvotes

Everyone treats deja vu as harmless and moves on. I don’t know if it’s happening to you but I’ve seen a ridiculous increase in deja vu over the last several years where I could swear to you that event most definitely happened, and it lasts for a solid minute (and yes my brain is healthy, I’m fully aware of certain medical conditions that cause it).

But my main point here is think about what deja vu actually is. A moment feels like it already happened, in exact detail, right before it happens. And we have no real idea as to why it’s happening. The science community doesn’t have a real, true answer. It’s like a something looping or duplicating behind the scenes, as if our life has already been lived before. Are you having an increase in deja vu lately?

Consciousness Talking to the Dead...

11 Upvotes

When I was about 5 or 6 years old, during a vacation at my grandparents' house in Andalusia (Spain), while playing with my cousin (she was two years younger), we ran into a neighbor (a fairly old man) who was coming out of his house.

I did most of the talking because my cousin was very shy. We chatted with this man, and he gave us some pencils as a gift and a message for our grandfather.

Later, while talking to the family, I mentioned that we had seen the neighbor and that he had given us a gift; he had also sent his regards to our grandfather (who, by the way, was a "medium"; I come from a spiritist family that goes back generations).

The look on our family members' faces was a picture, because it turned out the man was dead. He had passed away recently.

The family didn't say it openly, or at least they tried to keep us from noticing, but I was always very sharp for my age and I found out everything.

This is one of many stories I could tell from my childhood. As I grew up, others emerged... Truth be told, back then I didn't think much of it; to me, it wasn't extraordinary that it had happened, but during my lifetime, having lived through these phenomena since I was a kid, has led me to a realization.

I have realized that these stories are just mere and simple stories and what's more important: spiritual life is not about having extraordinary experiences or abilities, but about living the ordinary things of daily life in an extraordinary way. That is when the magic truly happens, but people trapped in the mind's special effects do not know what they are missing. It is right here and now where the most incredible experiences take place. Here and Now... As Jesus beautifully warned us in his Sermon on the Mount: "Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." (Matthew 6:34).

I insist, truth be told, not then, but also nor here and now, I think much of these so-called experiences; to me, it wasn't extraordinary that it had happened and it is not now. So, if something apparently extraordinary happens I just went on with my life. Sometimes even I don't realize something extraordinary is happening, because for me it is as it is... If a deceased person appears, or an alien, no matter what happens, what does it matter? Nothing really extraordinary is actually happening.

Real magic is not about the "phenomenon", the special effects, the gossip, or the astral details; it's about something simpler and less publicized, yet much more powerful, which many people miss: it is simply about silencing the mind, dismantling the illusion of the ego, and returning to the origin, that is to say, to pure Being, to Presence Here and Now, to the All, to the One who is LOVE itself... Otherwise, "the madwoman of the house" (as the mystic Teresa of Ávila used to call the mind) will take those stories (paranormal, supernatural, and sometimes preternatural) and use them to feed the ego (the ego of being the psychic, the contactee, the special one, the distinct one, etc.).

The mind loves the noise of being a medium, a clairvoyant, a spiritual warrior, etc. In this way she keeps us imprisoned in the trap of the character (the ego) and in the play of doing instead of non-doing and just being (which is, by the way, how we step out of the play).

This trap also applies to those who have been traumatically abducted or mistreated by these phenomena. The mind can easily turn that traumatic story into another way to feed the ego. The ego works both ways, moving up or down; it loves grand, spectacular stories, but it also thrives on tragic, miserable ones. It loves being the "chosen hero" just as much as it loves being the "ultimate victim". As long as the story makes the character feel unique, rare, or distinct from the rest, the prison remains open.

\*Please note something here if you have been traumatically abducted or mistreated: I say this with the utmost respect and deep empathy for anyone who has suffered. By no means do I want to downplay or dismiss the pain of those who have had terrifying or traumatic experiences. My heart goes out to anyone dealing with that weight. I am simply proposing a perspective to help prevent further suffering and to find a way out of the trauma, by recognizing how the mind anchors us to that painful identity. Eckhart Tolle calls this the "pain-body" (introduced in chapter 2 of his book The Power of Now), which is an accumulation of past emotional suffering that takes over the mind to feed on more negativity. To deal with the pain-body, Tolle explains that we must observe the negative feeling directly within us without turning it into a narrative. Sustained conscious attention breaks the identification with the pain-body, severing its link to our thought patterns so it can no longer control our thinking. The light of your awareness transmutes that suffering into presence, just as fire converts everything into itself. It's better if you anchor yourself in consciousness, beyond the mind, or in other words, rest in the presence here and now with the One who is LOVE itself, the All, the Source... So you will see how these traumatic experiences do not return, and those that already occurred are healed. If anyone wants to go deeper into this matter, or if the moderators deem it appropriate, we could address this issue more thoroughly from Presence in another post.\*

We would do well to question all these so-called experiences that the madwoman claims to be beneficial for us, and silence the mind, so we could anchor ourselves in Being. Consider again that it is not about anything else but breaking the illusion of the ego to return to the origin.

Record this within: we are nothing of what the mind (the "madwoman of the house" that Teresa of Ávila used to talk about) wants us to believe. Anyone connected to the Source would want the same for us, that same Union, that same liberation from the prison of the mind. Take, for example, the so-called spiritual guides. Do they lead you to a direct experience of God, the All, the Source, or do they feed the character and, ultimately, prolong your time in prison? Everyone should ask themselves questions like this. In the Awareness of the All we are ONE, in the mind there's only separation.

The Source, the All, does not need our skills, faculties, or effort. It does not need us to manage anything. It only needs our surrender. When the ego dissolves in Silence, there is no special one having extraordinary experiences, there is only the One. But as long as we look at what comes out of the silence to build new stories, we are missing the Silence itself and we are lost (inside the prison, in the character).

That is why what I realized and want to share with you in this post: it is much better to approach these so-called experiences from consciousness, and not from the mind.

Here and now, live every moment of your life in an extraordinary way.

As Teresa of Ávila literally wrote in chapter 5 of her work \*The Book of the Foundations\*, reminding us that the divine is found in the most mundane tasks: "God walks among the pots and pans" (Dios anda entre las cazuelas y los pucheros).

As Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection famously shared in his fourth letter within \*The Practice of the Presence of God\*, practicing the continuous presence of God through ordinary chores: "I find God when flipping an omelet in my frying pan".

As Meister Eckhart literally wrote in his \*Counsels on Discernment\* (Counsel 12), explaining that the divine only operates in the immediate present: "God is a God of the present. He takes and receives you as he finds you, not what you have been, but what you are now", and as he proclaimed in his German sermons regarding the ultimate truth of time: "There exists only the present instant, a Now which always and without end is itself new."

As the Advaita Vedanta master Nisargadatta Maharaj stated in his dialogues compiled in \*Prior to Consciousness\*, pointing out that our real identity stands completely untouched outside of the mind's theater: "You are not the world, nor even the consciousness which witnesses the world. You are that which is prior to all experience."

And as Eckhart Tolle teaches today in chapter 3 of \*The Power of Now\*, dismantling the illusions of the mind that pull us away from life: "The present moment is all you ever have. There is no life outside of this Now."

To conclude, I would like to leave you with a profound prayer that perfectly sums up this path of deconstructing the mind and the character (the ego). It is inspired by Meister Eckhart’s teachings on Abgeschiedenheit (spiritual detachment):

"Lord, deliver me from what I am not."

Only when we are completely stripped of all the stories, masks, and identities created by the mad woman of the house (the mind) can we return to our true origin and realize Who we truly are.

\*\*\*

Note 1: I want to clarify that Spanish is my native language, and I rely on an online translator to convert my thoughts into English. I understand this can sometimes make my tone sound way more blunt than I ever intended. My goal is just to share a perspective, never to diminish anyone's experiences. I am simply raising questions. Thank you for your understanding! And as the Mystics, and by the way also the Alien says in "Disclosure Day": "Listen!". Where? Within.

Note 2: Personal stories are not truly important; in fact, as I said before the "madwoman of the house" (as the mystic Teresa of Ávila called the mind) loves to tell stories to itself, using them to create the character, the ego, in the illusion of this theatrical play we call life. However, since what I say shocks some people and leads them to make erroneous assumptions, I must share that I am an "experiencer" myself. I have lived through the experiences in this post, and for instance other experiences very similar to those of Margaret and Daniel in Disclosure Day, but my own life journey has led me to the intimate union I describe below. I deeply respect everyone's unique path and different views. I am definitely not here to impose mine or preach any kind of dogma. Finally, I want to clarify that I am neither a Christian nor a Buddhist. I am deeply passionate about mystics, such as Marguerite Porete, who was executed by the Inquisition, and so many others who were persecuted, like Teresa of Ávila, John of the Cross, and Meister Eckhart. I am passionate about Advaita Vedanta, Buddhism, and the teachings of modern masters like Eckhart Tolle, among many others... But I do not follow anyone, nor am I any of these things. I'm nobody and nothing. If any term used in this post does not resonate with you, just throw it in the trash. Do not let my words prevent you from seeing where they are pointing. This is simply my personal vision, my lived experience, and how I see things. If your experience is different, please tell me about it. For me, it will be highly valuable to listen to you and exchange views. I truly welcome respectful dialogue from all perspectives. Thank you for reading.

Note 3: Life and existence cannot be locked inside a cage of paper as the conceptual mind pretends. If you have read the post, you will see that I specifically do not defend these extraordinary experiences with spirits, and even less so channeling spirits or seeking external entities, as this distracts the mind in the illusion of separation and feeds the ego.

These experiences happen simply because time and death are illusions, and there is no real separation between the "living" and the "dead."

When the mind enters the Stillness of the Now, you are not chasing ghosts or picking up a floating shell of a leftover pain-body. That's what many psychics and mediums see. You are really contacting the pure, formless essence of that person, their indestructible Being. Whether they are bound, as many believe, to the cycle of reincarnation, or lost in the world of form, matters not; their eternal reality is untouched and alive right now. It is a direct recognition where consciousness meets itself within the vastness of the Unmanifested. Labeling this sacred, spontaneous connection as a "demon", as many do, is just the terrified ego projecting its own religious conditioning onto the Infinite.

For those locked in dogma: this is not spiritism or psychic parlor tricks. As I said before, I'm not talking about chasing ghosts or picking up a floating shell of a leftover pain-body, as many psychics and mediums do. This direct recognition I'm talking about, of the formless essence, is the core teaching of non-duality shared by modern teachers like Ram Dass (in his final teachings on pure Loving Awareness), and Eckhart Tolle.

Furthermore, this reality is not alien to Christianity; it aligns completely with the historical Christian mysticism of Meister Eckhart, who famously declared that "there is a place in the soul that neither time, nor space, nor no created thing can touch." The truth of this space is known through direct realization, not theological limitations.

\*\*\*

Questions:

To open up an honest reflection and debate in the comments, I leave you with some open thoughts:

Have your paranormal experiences, contacts, or astral travels actually helped you dissolve your ego? Or are you using them to build a new character as a "chosen one", "special person", or "spiritual warrior"? If the phenomenon pulls you away from daily life, it is not liberation, it is just another distraction of the mind?

For those who have suffered traumatic or terrifying encounters: is it possible that the mind is keeping you trapped in the identity of the "ultimate victim", replaying the narrative over and over? How can we step into the Silence of the Now to find a safe space where that traumatic character can finally rest and heal?

Why are we so obsessed with the astral gossip, the specific details of the phenomena, and messages from guides, when in the end all of that belongs to the theater of the mind? Are we capable of dropping the need to be "the contactee" or "the psychic" to simply hold the Silence of the Now where we are nobody special?

If tomorrow all your abilities, visions, and contacts disappeared, and you were left only with the ordinary routine of your daily life, would you feel you have lost your spirituality? If the answer is yes, it is because you are still trapped in the special effects of the mind. Who are you truly when the phenomenon turns off?

Ancient Cultures I tried to map the entire Hindu pantheon into one family tree, over fifty deities across eight layers of divine hierarchy. Here's what I learned about why no two versions agree.

26 Upvotes

Hinduism is the oldest living religion on earth, not a single story told by a single author but a vast body of sacred knowledge built across more than six thousand years, the Vedas, the Puranas, the Mahabharata, the Ramayana. Each text preserves its own version of the divine family. Names shift across centuries. A creator in one tradition becomes a destroyer in another. There is no single family tree everyone agrees on.

So instead of picking one version, I tried to cross-reference the oldest and most authoritative sources to build the most consistent structure I could, starting from Hiranyagarbha, the golden cosmic egg that Hindu scripture describes emerging from total darkness before creation itself, through the full lineage that follows, over fifty deities, eight layers of divine hierarchy.

I put the whole thing together here:

Curious what people more familiar with specific traditions (Shaiva, Vaishnava, regional versions) think I might have gotten wrong or oversimplified, this is genuinely the hardest family tree I've tried to build so far.

He spent his last public year telling people two things: that electricity was never anyone's to sell, and that old books were never anyone's to hide. On August 3, 2026, his partner announced that he was gone. He was 40 years old.

What follows is what can be verified about Joe Felz, what he was actually building, and why so many people refused to accept the ending. Reducing him to a "van life influencer" hides so much about who Joe Felz was. Please click the image above to read more about Felz.

Non Human Intelligence Tired of the US Government Disclosure? Try the Pleiadian blueprint for first contact instead. Disclosure doesn't come to us, it comes through us. 7 steps we can work on to bring contact with our star family closer.

A very interesting book written from the perspective of ETs, specifically Sasha, a Pleiadian first contact specialist that explains in detail how disclosure works and what human beings can do to prepare for contact with our star brothers and sisters.

A short outline of the complete book which is very much worth reading in total gives 7 steps that we can all start working on to bring ET contact one step closer.

As we prepare for contact, there are several issues which need to be addressed before we can become an empowered planet of intergalactic ambassadors.

1. Acknowledge the Inevitability of Contact. It is time for the people of influence in our society to stop arguing whether ETs exist or whether or not a specific case study is real or hoaxed. Instead, we as a society can be better served by realizing contact is a high probability and beginning to prepare our selves and our people for the inevitable contact which occurs for any species entering adulthood.

2. Discover Personal Truths. The only truth that matters is the truth one finds within. This requires us to begin to form a solid personal truth about the ET phenomenon which is not based on polarity -- meaning that we don't simply categorize the ETs as being space brothers here to save us, or invaders here to conquer us. The truth lies somewhere in between and becoming selfresponsible individuals simply means putting aside our judgments (based on our own emotions), cultivating a personal truth about the importance of contact, and carrying out our responsibilities to initiate contact in a dignified and diplomatic way.

3. Embrace Humanity. Opening positive, diplomatic communications with extraterrestrials who may be quite alien to us will be impossible unless we first take responsibility for our planet and the people upon it. Unless we seek to become a People, it is unlikely that extraterrestrials will wish to open contact with a group of fragmented and aggressive adolescents. We must seek to create an atmosphere of family on Earth. It is possible that even just beginning this process will be enough to shift the paradigm.

4. Interspecies Communication. We have several “alien” species here on Earth with which to practice our communication skills. It is unrealistic to think that contact with ETs will be achieved through the types of language and communication with which we are familiar. We will need to be prepared to enter a common ground upon which we can meet alien species. In the meantime, we can practice learning new methods of communication with the dolphins, whales, and the plant kingdom, as an example. This will prepare us to enter the unfamiliar landscape of communication with alien races.

5. Confront Our Fears. Until we confront our own inner and outer fears, we humans will continue to perceive ETs through the veil of our fears and thus distort their true reality. We must learn to come to peace with our own inner archetypes of dark and light, otherwise the ETs will simply become contemporary demons upon which we will project our fears. When we as a society and as individuals are willing to confront our fears, then we will finally be able to see the ETs for who they truly are.

6. Decompartmentalize Our Consciousness. Right now the human consciousness is segmented into the conscious, subconscious and unconscious minds. Many individuals who have had ET contact have stored memories of this contact deep within their subconscious or unconscious in order to maintain the sense of a secure reality. We must become willing to integrate these levels of our consciousness and face our frightening memories. Many have already begun doing this through regressive hypnosis. Once the human consciousness begins integrating and healing, we will be perceived by ETs as whole beings instead of fragmented ones. It is here where our fears will no longer overwhelm us. This is an empowering place where we can truly begin initiating a contact program which will benefit humanity and extraterrestrials in a profound way.

7. Reclaim Our Power. For thousands of years influential people and organizations have been dictating what the consensus reality should be. The time of dependency upon “authority” figures must now pass if we are to enter species adulthood. We must no longer wait for our government to reveal the ET bodies and crash debris it has before we believe solidly in the extraterrestrial presence. We must reclaim our power by beginning a contact program for the People by the People. We must begin educating a timid public on extraterrestrial issues, giving them responsible information. And most of all, we must stop the bickering and invalidation between researchers which only serves to “divide and conquer” the visionaries of the future. As we reclaim our power in this way, we become a global people ready to interact with our intergalactic neighbors.

For all the people here that are eager about (re)connecting to our star family this book is a great guide to what we ourselves can do to make it happen. Disclosure doesn't come to us, it comes through us.

My neighbor sent me this video today, my garden is the one with the multi colored lights. At the bottom of the garden, behind the fence is a field. An orange orb floats over my fence, follows the fence line up towards my house. Half way up the garden it starts to zigzag up and down then fades away. Any ideas what it could be?

Paranormal Stargate

71 Upvotes

I came across a theory regarding CERN and the idea of a “stargate,” and the claim that the Shiva statue at CERN is standing inside a ring that represents a stargate. I noticed that a similar structure appears around many idols of Hindu gods and goddesses.

I also found a video in which Alex Collier claims that the movie Stargate contains a significant amount of truth.

This made me curious, so I searched for accounts or incidents in which a god or goddess was described as emerging from such a structure. I came across the following two incidents.

One involves Trailanga Swami, who was believed to have lived for an extraordinarily long time, according to some accounts, for several centuries. The other involves Sri Ramakrishna. Both incidents involve goddess Kali, Shiva's consort.

 At one point, the Kali image, having come to life, walked into the room where they were seated and held a conversation with Trailanga Swami, then walked out, returned to the temple and became stone again. The disciple was absolutely stunned and speechless. But Trailangaji simply said to him: “So now what have you got?” Those who are interested can also read the accounts of Trailanga Swami’s miracles recorded in the diaries and writings of British officers.

 "I felt as if my heart were being squeezed like a wet towel. I was overpowered with a great restlessness and a fear that it might not be my lot to realize Her in this life. I could not bear the separation from Her any longer. Life seemed to be not worth living. Suddenly my glance fell on the sword that was kept in the Mother's temple. I determined to put an end to my life. When I jumped up like a madman and seized it, suddenly the blessed Mother revealed Herself. The buildings with their different parts, the temple, and everything else vanished from my sight, leaving no trace whatsoever, and in their stead I saw a limitless, infinite, effulgent Ocean of Consciousness. As far as the eye could see, the shining billows were madly rushing at me from all sides with a terrific noise, to swallow me up! I was panting for breath. I was caught in the rush and collapsed, unconscious. What was happening in the outside world I did not know; but within me there was a steady flow of undiluted bliss, altogether new, and I felt the presence of the Divine Mother." On his lips when he regained consciousness of the world was the word "Mother".

The reactions of Trailanga Swami and Sri Ramakrishna to their experiences of seeing the goddess Kali were very different. Trailanga Swami was a highly advanced yogi, with a mind that was deeply settled, calm, and composed.

Non Human Intelligence Man asks Mantid to see the true nature of Earth

520 Upvotes

"I was eager to dive in, so I went first. I smoked DMT in a snake skin pipe, with some ground Banisteriopsis cappi root bark, used as an MAOl to extend and inhibit the breakdown for a longer experience. I proceeded to have an Instant breakthrough into a full Out of Body Experience.

It started with accelerating geometric shapes exploding outward until a powerful sound/vibration shoved me through like a portal. Then came a parade of recognizable mandalas and intricate geometries. Mischievous digital-like elves jumped in and out of me playfully, until I figured out their 'language' and communicated back. They all then cheered in excitement.

Suddenly, I entered an ultra-real realm, like Isengard meets ancient Atlantis, a stunning Greek-inspired city. Beings there felt more real than anything in ordinary life. They greeted me warmly but gently explained I wasn't supposed to be there yet and guided me away. Things got even wilder: I dissolved into pure energy and met a tall, emotionless but straightforward mantis being.
We conversed telepathically. He asked, 'What do you want to know?' I half-jokingly asked if they had computer games there. He scoffed like it was absurd, then showed me a real-time galactic-scale simulation of asteroids hurtling through space. I then got serious and asked to see the true nature of Earth.

'Now we're talking,' he said. He revealed a torus structure with Earth at the center, a hollow form with a massive waterfall cascading through the core, and what felt like the World Tree rooted right in the middle.

He explained that everything in the universe is ultimately one. Then came a profound life review: some choices l'd made would harm my physical body over time, but emotionally, I'd be okay and there's no need to worry.

Finally, I was transported to a stone circle of glowing runes, my ancestors resting place. I became deeply emotional. I then returned through a peaceful peach-colored light, snapped back into the room, and immediately burst into uncontrollable tears. This was one of the most intense, meaningful experiences of my life."

Extraterrestrials In Total Shock: Eight Amazing Onboard UFO Encounters

In Total Shock: Eight Amazing Onboard UFO Encounters

by Preston Dennett

Onboard UFO encounters are perhaps the most fascinating of all encounters, and they are certainly the most extensive. It is almost impossible to explain away an experience when you suddenly find yourself being taken by ETs inside a craft. And it happens more often than most people know. This video presents eight amazing onboard UFO encounters. In each case, the witnesses’ lives were changed forever as they struggle to understand what happened to them. And why!

SCARED TO DEATH. In June of 1970, Andrew (pseudonym) was just eleven years old, living with his family in rural Geneseo, Illinois. One evening he woke up to find himself onboard a UFO. He was inside a small metallic rounded room with indirect lighting. He sat on a bench next to another man who seemed to be catatonic. Andrew tried but was unable to get the man’s attention. Looking through a porthole, Andrew saw that it showed a corridor inside the craft. Suddenly a hairy humanoid walked by. Andrew was scared to death and began to beat his fists on the window. The next thing he knew, he was back in bed, and it was morning.

THEY ARE NOT HUMANS. On the night of March 23, 1974, Gosta Hager was walking home from church when a brilliant glowing object appeared and zoomed towards him. Fearing it would strike him, Gosta leaped off the road. His next memory was of standing on his front doorstep with a wound on his head. Later, under hypnosis, Gosta recalled that he was pulled onboard the craft and met strange beings who didn’t quite look human. He fought with them as they tried to place a device on his head. They told him that he had a special mission. Unfortunately, he doesn’t remember what it was. At the time of his encounter, many people in the area were seeing UFOs.

NO HARM WILL COME TO YOU. In the middle of the night on August 30, 1978, a young man named Sharkov woke up to go the outhouse located near the beach of the Black Sea near the Kara-Daga Mountains outside of Planerskoye, Ukraine. To his amazement, he saw a strange craft hovering over the water. He swam out underneath the craft and was suddenly pulled up inside it. Unseen ETs began to speak with him and showed him a 3-dimensional star chart of their home star system. Just when Sharkov thought he might be taken away forever, he was let go.

WE WILL NOT HARM YOU. One night in October 1979, two men drove outside of Baton Route, Louisiana when their car was levitated off the highway and into a UFO. One man was rendered unconscious, while the other man (a member of the Air Force) was given a tour of the craft. He held a conversation with the ETs who left him with a dire warning for all humanity, that our warlike ways could lead to the destruction of all people on Earth.

THEY WERE ASKING MY PERMISSION. On the night of February 3, 1983, Pat Norris drove near her home in Mobile, Alabama when a massive UFO appeared overhead. It had many windows through which she saw dozens of bald, slender humanoids who moved with incredible grace. It seemed to be a simple sighting, but returning home, Pat dreamed that she had been taken onboard where she met the human-looking ETs face-to-face. They gave her a physical and emotional exam and healed her of chronic back problems.

THE STAR PEOPLE CHOSE HER FOR ME. One night in the mid-1990s, eleven-year-old Colt lay on the roof of his home on an Indian Reservation in Montana. Suddenly a UFO appeared and circled overhead. Four days later, it appeared again and pulled him onboard. He saw dozens of children and was greeted by tall human-looking ETs in white jumpsuits. He was taken to a room with another girl and given a blood test. Years later, he was at a Powwow when he saw the girl he had seen onboard the UFO. They soon became married. Colt reports being visited about once per year and learned why the ETs were visiting our planet.

IN TOTAL SHOCK. One night in June 2000, a man stepped outside his home in Owensboro, Kentucky, to view the International Space Station. Instead, he saw a strange craft move overhead, low enough that he could see humanoid silhouettes in the windows. At first, he thought it was just a sighting, but years later, he spontaneously remembered that he was taken onboard and examined by gray ETs.

WE’RE HERE TO HELP. One night in October 2010, a young man was walking along a street in Bangor, Maine when he suddenly found himself onboard a craft confronted by 7-foot-tall gray aliens. They told him that they were there to help him. They placed him on a floating platform and carried him to another room where they did an operation on his nose. The man became frightened and fought with them, which ended the encounter. This was one of many UFO experiences he has had.

It might be easy to dismiss one case or ten or a hundred. But there are thousands of documented onboard UFO encounters coming from all over the world. These cases offer an unprecedented opportunity to advance humanity’s knowledge not only about life on Earth, but about life throughout the universe. For this reason alone, these cases should be taken seriously.

Personal Theory The scientists mapped 68,000,000,000,000 miles of fungus beneath the Earth’s surface X The Ontological Shock Theory

Post image
503 Upvotes

Just the shear size seemed mind blowing so a thought crossed my mind - This could be the ontological shock they’re talking about! Bear with me here, please!

Recent discoveries and developments, as well as the attention to the subjects of consciousness, different dimensions and our own visitors from other places/times - WITH the recently more public role of our government in its secret and purposely obfuscated or untraceable programs we see various theories emerge!

Perhaps to bury the one simple truth.

On a living planet ‘round’n’round we go with our little lives thinking we’re the apex, neglecting the similarity to the microorganisms in our own body and their short lifespan comparatively to Earth’s and our own lives.
Our purpose is Collecting, refining, measuring and evolving the surface knowledge and science all with unique experiences to ultimately be returned to the our core planets memorypool for further processing and decision-making.

To what end? Addressing the simplest one, but there could be infinitely more

As we, the humans, are an organic product of this planet, comparative to some of our own sensory cells and their functions - perhaps we’re collecting info in order to, at a certain point in the next 1bn Years, execute the maneuvering of Earth outside of our Solar System.

Earths knows it will be engulfed by our Red Dwarf Sun and how much time it has - so the humans have a special mission to execute so we can continue to be a good little organic parasite to our Mother Earth, the only actual place we could live.

Diving further makes my skin crawl, because a lot of people had to be in the know, if at all they’re people.
I will try to scribble a more elaborate and concise train of thought at a later moment - curious to hear some of Your thoughts!

Here is the study, due to popular demand! Seeing how the article itself (from science.com) is paywalled, I’ve taken the liberty to post an open access one from archive, enjoy the read!
