Nature, Tarot, Dreams, Hallucinogens and Meditations: Signs And Interactions With The Other Side.

I’ve always had a link to the “other side”; whether higher dimensions, the departed, or what I would always refer to as “the voices whispering in the shadows”. With the traumatic childhood I had, hearing whispers in the dark didn’t seem so unordinary. As I started to talk about it to people, and people gave me the “wait, what?!” look and response, and the other kids said I was seeing ghosts and that wasn’t supposed to happen; those are scary. And It wasn’t until I felt fear, that the shadows started to change their patterns; and new darker presences and energies started to appear and focus on me. I’ve covered some of these darker, supernatural stories in one of my podcasts so I won’t retell all of it, but I’ve seen figures twice as black as the pitch black house itself. I’ve been incorporated into people’s dreams, performing what I would label exorcisms of sorts. I’ve had exes say they've seen forces try to get at me on the astral plane. I’ve met Strangers who said I was psychic and that I was from the darker side of the universe, but chose to do good. That both the positive and negative vibrations and frequencies; the dark and the light, were interested in me. I had a dream my great grandma was waving goodbye in to the clouds, the next night we got a call that she had passed. I had a dream my grandfather was barely hanging above the water from drowning, he had a heart attack 2 days later and thankfully survived. I’ve dreamed of destruction of a storm where I was supposed to go the next day so I didn’t and a bridge we would have crossed was destroyed and a few people died and many were stuck and stranded. As I grew older and finally got into meditation, I saw traces of potential by getting to the barrier dissolution it could provide. I had tried various hallucinogens as therapy hoping to overcome some of my trauma, and as a result have seen things beyond this world; beyond the 5 empirical senses. As I’ve gotten older, the entities that used to seek me out and “haunt” me, were now almost acting afraid of me, and avoiding me. One time some of us went to the graveyard, and when I went in, the people who came with me stayed in the car. When I got back from exploring the graveyard alone, they said a presence had come up to the car after I had left, but when I came back, it was scared off and went away. It was as if I had come into to some power or awareness that made me less of a target, and if anything, made me more of a repellent. I noticed before puberty, I was a constant target, and after, I noticed it dissipated heavily. And when I started to gain certainty of self and confidence, they started to flee me. As I said, several psychics and spiritually aware people, have told me I am psychic or a powerful beacon to the world of spirit; a shaman of sorts. I used to never take any of it seriously, but I could sense it, and was starting to accept it as more than “just in my head.” I started getting into tarot cards and found myself doing readings where I would nail it on the money with what someone was going through or had on their mind. What I have come to realize is I can feel the energies and vibes with an inner sense; my gut, and I don’t need the cards as much as the cards are a nice aid for representation and guide you, but it really comes from a feeling and an awareness. The whole reason I am bringing this all up, is recently I have been having more dreams that feel like my subconscious is being told something important. Last night I had a dream where I had 40 different dreams, all of them relaying a complex series of points, epiphanies and messages. But I’ve been having dreams like this for years, never regular basic dreams of doing normal things. Always ones that had some deeper meaning where I could feel the pull from various sources. I’ve had a history of sleep paralysis and astral projection. I’ve been In this stage of intensity for years, as I’ve felt the other side becoming pushier, as if trying to almost (and in many cases do) force me to leave my physical body and go to some other plane to communicate. I will never forget the first time they were pulling and I could no longer hold myself to my body (I normally count to 10 in my mind because I can’t move or open my eyes, and it will snap me

awake)and was brought to what I can only refer to as a “way station, neutral nexus” of various dimensions and places. There was an older entity(hard to say old because it’s energy, colors, movement as well as it being less physically identifiable) was sort of hosting the interactive gathering, but I felt various entities all around, of darker and lighter energy as if all of them needed it to take place in order to communicate with me about a ome greater purpose. And I being pissed off was like "don’t summon me like this" and mentally forced myself out of there. I ended up in a dream where I lost all of my memories but felt like something was off. And as it progressed, the “helping” entity that was talking to me started to try to lead me away from my discoveries, but my will to return my memories was too strong, and when I was like “ahha! I’m in an alternate dimension and you are trying to hold me here." I was able to manifest reality back with my memories. It felt like I was being held at bay because they couldn’t stop me; only slow me down. I have also had a dmt experience where I could feel I had some former position in the shadows hierarch, but that the shadows had different factions. Some That were on my side, and some that wanted to do anything they could to keep me from rising into this higher awareness. I have always loved the dark, dark music, dark movies, art, etc. A lot of this stemmed from (what I imagine was a reflection of) my dark childhood which therapists and medical Phd’s had told me I had severe anxiety and trauma, and talked about death and loneliness with a straight face as if it was normal, so I always felt I might just be manifesting things in my mind. But as I gained control of my life, especially now (I'm a 15 year martial artist and can defend myself, so I don’t have the helplessness I had as a child and can protect myself) I am not afraid, so I can see it's not just in my head. I am more aware than I ever have been of the other side; recognizing signs in the waking world as clearly as I do in dreams. Sometimes I can just feel it in my gut that something is significant; that I should be some place, or avoid another. And in the past year I’ve been in nature, and on hikes and have felt the weight and pressure of the air increase tremendously, as well as feeling like an invisible wall kept me from walking forward, as something else was directing me a different direction. I have felt borderlines in the woods where one aspect changed over into another, as I can almost hear the conversation, but no words or sounds are being used; there’s more than what our eyes can see. I was surprised, but pleased to find that the CIA’s website has declassified documents concerning everything from ufo’s, to harnessing consciousness as a weapon, and all sorts of psychic abilities, and studies and info concerning connected singularity and consciousness and bypassing the limitations of 3D physics. And this may be why I have taken a leap this year; if the government says its real and has been funding and researching esp, remote sensing and other psychic abilities, and have evidence of it working, then I guess I feel more certain that there is validity in my experience and what I deem to be an extra sense, as well as my ability to not only empathize and feel other peoples emotions, but also go a step deeper and interpret energy on other plains and in my subconscious (I did podcasts on the psychotronic universe and the syntergic theory, both are declassified CIA documents, so go check them out as well as seeing what you can find on the CIA‘s website) If everything is energy and frequency, and all that our senses do is interpret this frequency as our perception; what we see, hear, touch, smell, and taste. So, why wouldn't we be able to get to a point where we can interpret that frequency through additional senses; ones that aren’t limited by the physics of 3dimennsional time/dimension? If everything is a singular point outside of time and space, then all information, past, present, and future, should be accessible simultaneously. The journey continues, but I remain hopeful that through utilizing additional frequency interpreting senses and abilities, that we are able to evolve and expand our language, and that we may also expand the limits and depths of our reality through that procred.
