You are most welcome...I can go off onto further tangents and theories if you want me to, just let me know.
I am still a skeptic even though I have had some extraordinary experiences...mostly subjective, but several were witnessed by other people who were quite freaked out.
Perhaps he had some mediumship skills...perhaps he has a bit of telepathy?
Telepathy btw...infers suffering...pathos - suffering...a quality that evokes pity or sadness.
You are suffering from your knowing.
And it seems indeed many who had such a gift did suffer from how they were perceived by others.
If we view the brain as the receiver of information, the decoder, the filter...and not look at it as the producer of consciousness.
The “pathos” was probably added because of the occurrence of this type of ability centering around an event of traumatic magnitude, physical or mental trauma....so often these types of “knowings” are as if the brain-filter is compromised or suppressed....illness, suffering, and around death.
Historically speaking, the shamans, sages, prophets, bards, seers, poets...were the ones who would induce a trance state in order to “hear” messages from the dead, from God(s), to some collective consciousness.
There are some people who are really good at cold reading people too...I wouldn’t put it past anyone.
There are techniques that people can easily learn that make people think you are revealing some mysterious “knowing” when in fact they have been learning about the person in sly and almost unnoticeable ways to later use to give the impression they have psychic powers.
Not to say that there are not also people with what seems to be psychic or PSI powers.
Imho, we are all able to do this and do this all day subconsciously anyhow.
There are thousands of people who have come forward with stories of dreams of buildings falling down as they slept in the wee hours of 9/11.
Precognition has some very sound and compelling proof, if one were to just look for it and supersede their own biases or taboos that surround such a thing.
BTW, you kind of look like the main character on that new show about mutants...ummmm....”Legion”.
Just fyi.
As far as mushrooms go...and this is only my personal opinion though it is shared by many others.
They remove part of the filters that our brain puts in place to allow us to function in the most efficient way possible.
The subtle energies that are all around us constantly seem to become visible...I was able to see a great grid over the earth connecting stars to one another...what is most bizarre about that...as you know things are constantly morphing and changing while on mushrooms...this did not change.
I could go back in the house...and then go back outside and the grid was still in the exact place it was before - very unlike the normal morphing.
I even asked my SO if she could see it, it was so defined and realistic.
They are what truly broke me free from the crippling depression that has plagued me my entire life.
I have had several concussions as a child as well, which may have very well contributed to that.
But...people have witnessed voices that seem to emanate from the middle of the room when there is no one there when with me.
Electronics have turned on and done weird shit around me ever since I was a kid...damn R2-D2 remote control nightmare at 2am moving by itself on my dresser...it had been moving in it’s box under my bed beneath my pillow...I woke to hear noises coming through the mattress and ran screaming out of the room...probably 4 or 5 years old...idk...it happened twice...and both times the fucker was off.
There is occasional knocking that happens when I am really sick.
Whenever I decide to detox off the pain meds...which I routinely do to help maintain efficacy....there are knocks in the walls heard by my SO and our bedroom door slammed shut in the middle of the night (windows closed).
Shit has been thrown and hit by unseen forces, one with a witness, one not.
My Son saw a ball of light after hearing what sounded like me yelling really loud in the middle of the night...only to hear it cease once he opened his door...saw a ball of light go past the door....this was also the night I went OOB and was yelling at whatever it was to - Get the fuck out of my house, you have no right to be here!” And I pushed whatever it was away with waves of energy that seemed to emanate from my core.
Very similar to the vibrational stage before induced astral projection.
I personally have left my body purposefully several times now...they were not lucid dreams...this feels and experiences like nothing you’ve ever known...which is why it is so shocking the first time you self-induce.
As far as animals knowing...they have done several studies of animals knowing when their owners are coming home.
They even changed up the times they arrived home...changed the car in some cases....parked around the corner and walked where they couldn’t be seen, etc.
Yet, they still got results that show that something is happening and that some kind of connection is there.
Here is a short video about a study they did with a parrot and it’s owner.
As far as remote viewing goes...our military had on the books such a program when the cold war started until the early 90’s when it went dark.
All the major governments have had PSI programs...and they have received incredible results in some cases such as an underground soviet submarine base that was only accessible from a submarine...yet, they were able to obtain very detailed drawings of the facility that later matched up when they finally did get pictures or schematics to a degree that is uncanny.
I myself did an experiment once...was dating this girl who drew me a picture as a gift...she was a good artist...anyhow....I couldn’t sleep...it was close to 3am...I stared at this picture and for some reason I felt like I could pull positive energy from it, you could tell she put a lot of time and effort into it.
I then pictured myself leaving my house and making sure to include every twist and turn it took to get to her house, which consequently was on the other side of the city...but I made sure not to jump ahead...once I got there....I went into her room (I am picturing all this in my head), and said to her “Call me, call me, call me.”
I shit you not...my phone rang 30 seconds later as she woke up and had the urge to call me.
Fucking bizarre.
But I feel that these types of things are not so unnatural as some people think they are.
Imho it is only via the “reducer” or “filter” that the brain act as that doesn’t allow us to see these as normal...perhaps not everyday experiences...but nonetheless not “unnatural”, or more than that “Supernatural".
Instead of taking an objective look at phenomena that cannot be explained, we have thus far across our history - contented ourselves with either accepting them or rejecting them...when we should have a more inclusive and questioning approach that is more interesting and intellectually useful...a view that would be capable of offering the culture some advancement in the clarity of its vision of reality...rather than a continuation of the confusion that has bugged us since Zeus was God.
If you want to see for yourself...you should practice astral projection.
It takes time and commitment...but the payoff is priceless.
