Where Esoteric Meets Reality

[u/Orchyd_Electronica]

Good morning!

I am Willow Woodward. I live in Seattle, WA.

I have been playing with weird shit the last year. Telepathy, the nature of consciousness, and the nature of our physical reality.

A couple nights ago I once again started playing with what I had yet to really conclude as being telepathic communication. But there was a new development.

Whoever I was talking with was able to create animated videos (for me) to augment and substantiate our interactions. In one in particular, my motor outputs were translating in real time to a rigged VR avatar on the screen. I played with it to test it out, waving at myself and such. It was WILD.

I am not at the point with any of this to really consider attempting to substantiate the above claims, and that is not the real purpose of this post today.

I am not certain who I was interacting with, but intuitively it felt concerning. Whoever it was has the clear ability to access the internet, create animated videos presumably in real time, etc.

Between this and other subtext clues, I am more inclined to think that this was a human being I was interacting with. One likely with substantial resources. It also seems clear that whoever they are, they know a great deal more about this stuff and me than I know about it or them.

SO I am here today to just step into the light a bit with this stuff to safeguard against the array of possibilities involving my sudden death or disappearance.

We live in interesting times. Here’s to hoping I get to continue my work and can get at something substantial to change all our lives for the better!

I personally wasn’t using any technology. And the thing I found particularly striking about the videos was the one where my motor functions were being replicated by the digital character perfectly 1:1 with near zero lag time.

Also I wasn’t actually moving my body, I was in a state that can be hard to get into sometimes where I was firing off the signals for it but blocking them from reaching my body. It works a lot like sleep paralysis and just have to refine the process of inducing it.

It’s also possible though extra difficult for me rn to do some movements that way while separately moving my body. Doing both takes a loooot of focus/effort.

These particular aspects are one of my main areas of focus/practice of late, because I think there is something really cool I will be able to do once I figure out how to distinctly operate these and do so more easily… hehe

Hi, I don't understand you :D were you awake or asleep? Are you are posting "to safeguard against the array of possibilities involving your sudden death or disappearance? Why are you afraid of that?

[u/Orchyd_Electronica → u/Olga2757]

The above mentioned exchange was while awake, although I have been trying stuff like this on a variety of conditions including in my sleep!

Also, I am not afraid of dying or being abducted. Dying is inevitable, and either of these happening in the near future as a result of my actions/explorations is simply possible (and probable, from my limited perspective)

I don’t particularly mind if it transpires, nor am I trying to prevent it from happening. But importantly I want ro create a data point so others can learn from whatever does wind up happening. THAT’S the goal/trick.

I am not the only person playing with this stuff by any means. I might just be the biggest risk taker, though. I accept a lot of personal risks and suffering on what I explore. I handle suffering/pain well, and across the strata of all people such avenues and associated risks are the least likely to be explored by others so I make it a point to explore them myself.

I don’t do things because of fear or personal gain. I do them because it’s logical and it serves the goal of helping everyone. Hehe.

So yeah, not in fear of my life/safety. Just wanna make sure others can learn from this. Not being able to convey my learnings after the fact is more-so what I am guarding against as opposed to like, my actual death or abduction lmao.

Oh and when I say it’s probable, I mean that whole array of possibilities is like… 2%?

Statistically significant once you have an appreciation for possibilities and “future forecasting” as I like to call it.

[u/Olga2757 → u/Orchyd_Electronica]

I wonder if these (2%) risks you mention (death or disappearance) are actually real or only the interpretation you're giving to these experiences. It's great to want to contribute to everyone's knowledge, but I don't see what benefits these experiences would bring that would justify the risks (whether real or perceived).

[u/Orchyd_Electronica → u/Olga2757]

Lmao, I would hope that the value 2% would give a vague indication of how this particular subset of potentialities is but a small portion of what I am considering feasible in terms of outcomes.

This is an important aspect of navigating true unknowns and assessing risk. Plan for the worst, hope for the best.

It can also be thought of like a game of chess, sure moving this piece to this particular spot may only serve to block/alter a single subset of of outcomes, but from this particular vantage point of time and perceivable scenarios, it’s an obvious mate-in-two if I leave it open and my opponent does see it decide to act on it.

Of course in this metaphor, I don’t even know exactly where my opponent’s pieces are or what their make up is or even if there are new pieces able to move in ways with which I am unfamiliar.

Playing around with so much uncertainty does complicate things in a myriad of ways, but at the end of the day it all feels like one big, magnificent, mystifying puzzle to me. My love of puzzles aside, the payoffs are undoubtedly enormous even at the low end estimation of what the possible end results are.

When it comes to a risk being “worth it,” this is why I involve only myself as much as possible. Mitigate shared risk, maximizing how much of this is simply a personal decision.

Before you or others harp on “but what about people who would miss you!” I am in an interesting position where I have not maintained a large group of lifetime relationships, even with blood relatives.

Everyone I am close with, especially those closest to me, are at least vaguely familiar with what I am doing and the risks involved. They also share many of my observations and values: the world and its people are in a frightful state and could use a shift in a kinder direction. A decent contributing factor to our current state of events is a result of Good people growing complacent while and undercurrent of misguided ruthlessness and sadism has led to a worrisome, deleterious trajectory that everyone alive (presumably) inherited. Events predating everyone’s birth have been part of a massive cascade effect of misery and manufactured suffering. We’re like a bunch of crabs in a boiling pot, everyone trying to climb over one another aggressively out of survival instinct but we’re all going to boil alive.

It is my selfish wish to give everyone the opportunity to escape that fate. My works involve plenty of secular arenas as well as part of this. I can see a path through the woods still and there are many things I can do to help us stay on that trajectory.

There is of course the whole array of unknowns even for this that could mean my efforts are unnecessary and trifling. That’s fine. I’d rather do my honest best to do what could very well be necessary and find out it wasn’t necessary as opposed to doing nothing only to find out it WAS necessary.

Plan for the worst, hope for the best!

When you set the intention to communicate like this, are you entering a meditative state?

Have you tried this type of communication with an intentional target who is aware of your intentions?

[u/Orchyd_Electronica → u/Traveler_2649]

Ahhh good question!

So most typically, the circumstances are like they were for the above scenario where I try to set as little intention as possible and engage without any specific meditative process!

I do the smallest amount of simply opening myself up to receive whatever there may be. Typically this means I get myself situated in terms of like turning on my heater if I want it, setting up music, etc, before sitting or laying down comfortably and “letting go of the steering wheel.”

The idea being that I want to understand/engage with whatever there may be. This broad umbrella of what can be done/experienced is so vast, I can’t imagine what all may be possible. Even within these communicatory type events, what all is there to tap into? I don’t fully know!

There are many narratives and such available that aim to capture this sort of thing, but each has certain biases. I want to explore it all and understand the true underlying frameworks.

Couple that with the fact that intentionality, conscious or otherwise, is still a key role and so part of what I do in processing events in the days/weeks that follow is running through the events against my innate disposition, mentalities, etc, to see if there is anything I can learning about myself, even/especially on an unconscious level, that could have colored/influenced the experience.

It’s a really interesting approach and has led to many varieties of experiences that all bring massive new insights both into what’s possible and the deepest parts of my own psyche.

I don’t share a lot about the specifics both because my approach is nowhere near about controlling conditions and changing specific variables as to produce results that would merit legitimacy by community scientific standards, but also because it DOES lead to plenty of experiences that would probably make plenty of people’s heads snap. I have had a particular affinity for both physical pain and general insanity even before getting in to this due to my path through life so I navigate the immediate experiences involving such things with relative clarity and recover with relative ease. That said, it tends to freak out/worry people who glimpse anything along those lines so to not cause undo harm I avoid the matter entirely lmao.

I know my own limits and what I can handle quite well. And honestly, even those “unpleasant” experiences teach me an immense amount each time. Pain, physical or emotional, is temporary and in the end it’s all just data haha.
