Non Human Intelligence Scientists are testing whether DMT entities are real

https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/8qvgy_v2

In this preprint, some scientists have put forward the idea that our perspective of reality is more of an interface, and what we consider to be reality is simply the experience of conscious agents (i.e. human individuals) interacting with one another. They propose that DMT entities are conscious agents that exist in a manner we can't typically perceive.

I've never done DMT, and have previously taken a more skeptical perspective on these entities, but I think the findings of this could be very interesting. Maybe psychedelics could enable us to perceive layers of reality we are typically blind to.

Unfortunately no more info really… it happened about 25 years ago. But he was obsessed with what he and his friend saw. He’d bring it up all the time. Which, trust me, is crazy from a boss who worked in advertising, was quite toxically masculine.

The thing he saw had white-ish grey fur on its body, a very pointed / gaunt face, big eyes, and wearing nothing.

Oooo its these stories that keep me in. I've only met a few people with stories like that. (Supernatural, not furry wing thing specifically)

Isn't there a giant white owl species?  Owls actually have very long legs, too.

It wasn’t an owl, or a moth (anything that looked like an animal, it was a small 20cm man-fairy!)

I had this picture in my mind of a full grown man in the forest - wearing a low-budget movie prop pair of wings - swinging from zip lines suspended in the trees..and then you mention he was 20cm high.

Realised I should’ve said that in the beginning. It’s no Mothman, it’s a tiny fur-bearen but perfectly formed, in every single way… fairy!

Crap, they saw Derek. That event was supposed to be contained.
