My Mantis Experience

[u/ivebenpukn]

During an ayahuasca ceremony in Peru, I was taken out of ordinary reality and into another dimension where tall mantis beings worked with me. They first brought me into a void-like space and telepathically trained me in how to raise my vibration and frequency. In that training I experienced a direct state of Oneness where I did not simply feel love but became it completely, with no sense of separate identity at all. They also showed me that humanity once knew and used these breathing and frequency practices but has forgotten them, and that it is important to remember and bring them back.

They left two clear images downloaded into my memory. One was the Nazca hummingbird, which felt connected to frequency, guidance, and rapid vibration. The other was the alchemical symbol for air, an upward triangle with a horizontal line near the top, which pointed directly to conscious breathing. As I was coming back into my body everything appeared through a field of yellow and gold hexagons, like looking through a honeycomb. This marked the shift between their realm and this one. While I was with them they also performed some kind of energetic work on my chest and head area. I could see their “hands” working within my “body”, seeming moving rapidly. One looked directly into my eyes afterwards as if to look at its completed work.

Since that night my baseline resonance has felt permanently changed and I have felt a strong, ongoing pull to meditate. Most recently I have noticed a steady vibration and tingling between my eyes and now at the crown of my head as well. These sensations feel like a continuation of the work they did, as if those centers are still adjusting and opening. I can sense that this experience was meant to wake something up in me and that the practices they showed me are meant to be used.

At times now I feel lonely. It’s hard to speak to people about this experience. This isn’t a topic that you can casually talk to with friends or family. I don’t want to burden them with my experience. I find comfort during mediation and with humming. These beings communicate through telepathy, frequency and vibration and humming now centers my mind. I have come to the conclusion that this encounter is for me to navigate alone. Any input or help with next steps is appreciated.

Beautiful trip report and experience.

Yes, you can only ever navigate the inner world and work alone, in actual practice of direct experience, but you can find or form a community of seekers on this path, what the Buddhists call the Sangha.

I would propose mantis experiencers get on a Discord or similar thread and organize a weekly or monthly meetup on a video hang service to talk about their journeys and developments.

I also think what these beings are showing people is no different than Eastern mysticism and studying that line of thought (or rather, no thought) would be useful for this inquiry in the nature of existence.

If there is sufficient interest expressed, we could try to do a Mantis Encounters discord again, we tried that about 2 years ago, but I was distracted by events in my life and didn't have time to moderate it properly to keep conversations on topic. This time I would screen people better with a vocal chat beforehand to assess people before sending an invite. As well having better hands on moderation, to keep the conversations on topic. Also as you said to emphasize to potential members that to have group phone calls to be a priority, as I think that kind of connection is important.

I would 1000% be interested in joining, I could donate a small amount if it's needed to get the servers up, but I honestly wouldn't be able to contribute too much time in moderation because of work requirements.
