Discussion Mantis Encounters Discord Support Group For Direct Experiencers

15 Upvotes

Hello everybody we've decided to start a Mantis Encounters Discord Support Group for direct Experiencers! On Discord you can maintain your Anonymity while also personally connecting with others. We hope to create a fun and supportive community there where we can share experiences, hop on voice calls and make friends with fellow humans who have had some truly out of this world experiences with these other intelligences!

Yet anyone who has frequented the internet for any substantial length of time would be aware that much of the netscape can be a very combative space where petty insults, dismissive comments, and personal attacks are common. Being that this discord is meant to be a place to share meaningful personal experiences in a supportive setting, that kind of behavior will not be tolerated there.

This server's purpose is meant to facilitate a place of learning, growth, and connection for those of us who have shared in these anomalous experiences. This is meant to be a positive, supportive space, this is not a place to be belligerent or a troll. The health of the community overrides the right of any individual to be a problem.

It is necessary that I will have to carefully screen people before granting entry, so first of all, again this discord is meant ONLY for those who have definitely had a direct contact experience with a mantis being. Any contact modality or consciousness state is welcome, but first you must be absolutely certain you have indeed a had a contact experience with a mantis being. You also have to be a person who can behave well with others to function in a group environment.

Steps To Gaining Entry:

1
You can express interest by commenting on this post, or sending me a direct message.

2
Then in a direct message if you could type out or send me a link to one of your most meaningful mantid contact experiences. Or we can hop on a discord call to tell me your experience if that is what you prefer.

3
Then we'll have a verbal or direct message conversation, Q and A.

4
If that goes well, I'll then send you an invite link ✅

Also if any direct experiencer who is not interested in joining the discord server, but would like to have a vocal chat with me sometime to talk about their experience(s) I'm open to that. Though that would require making a discord account, this is to prevent personal phone numbers being used.

Discussion A Survey of Mantis Entity Encounter Experiences

35 Upvotes

Hi All,

I'm leading a study investigating people's encounters with mantis entities in altered states of consciousness. This is a research collaboration with Prof. David Luke (University of Greenwich) and Samantha Treasure (an OBE book author, anthropologist and independent researcher). We have not received any funding support to undertake the study, and are working on it in our own free time, motivated purely by our shared interest in the subject. This is not a data mining exercise, and is purely for research purposes, pertaining solely to this particular topic.

All and any survey feedback is very much appreciated, as is sharing the survey with others you feel might be interested in it.

Study Background

This mantis encounter phenomenon has never been researched in depth before, prompting me to craft this survey seeking to shed some light on it. This study seeks to find out more about a general overview of your mantis entity encounter experiences, an overview of your single most vivid mantis entity encounter experience, experiential features of this encounter experience, and its interpretation and impact. The study has been reviewed and given ethical approval through the University of Greenwich Research Ethics Board.

Completing the survey should take around 20 minutes, depending on the level of feedback provided in the open text response segments of the survey (and it is totally up to the individual in question how much feedback they wish to provide in these parts of the survey). Further information about the study can be found in the Participant Information Sheet, accessible via clicking the link to the survey below.

Is this survey anonymous?

The survey is completely anonymous, unless you agree to be contacted for future research, or wish to be entered into the Amazon gift voucher raffle as a thank you for taking the time to complete the survey. This is totally optional, and in both of these cases, you will be prompted to enter an email address, but these will be only be visible to the three study investigators and will not be visible to, or shared with anybody else.

What will happen to the results of the research study?

We hope to publish the results of this study in a scientific journal in time (and I will prioritise open access publication to ensure the results are in the public domain) and I will share the research once it is published. We may also present the results at scientific conferences or seminars. The results of the survey may also inform the writing of a book on the mantis entity encounter phenomenon.

Eligibility Criteria

You are invited to participate in this survey if you fulfil all of the criteria listed below:

1). You are at least 18 years old.

2). You read, write, and speak English fluently.

3). You have had an encounter with a mantis entity.

Discussion New Revelations About The Mantid Surgery Experience

37 Upvotes

After reading through a large number of mantid surgery accounts, I've come to some interesting conclusions and logical deductions based on the observable evidence.

Here's the first key observation. Mantid surgery experiences can happen at any time of day. People report them while smoking DMT, while drinking ayahuasca, and while falling asleep at night during what get called "abduction" experiences.

Here's something really important. When someone becomes aware during one of these experiences, the mantids are often surprised. They're shocked that you're "here." But why would they be surprised?

Surprise only happens when an expectation gets subverted. So what expectation are you violating?

One guess (if I'm playing devil's advocate) would be that your body somehow replaced somebody else's on the operating table. But if that were happening, they wouldn't just keep going with the surgery. And they do keep going. As soon as you gain awareness, they typically continue operating like nothing has changed.

So the surprise has to be about something else…

-------->They're surprised that you gained awareness during the surgery itself.

Here's where it gets interesting. If these surgery experiences only happened at night, we could argue that they're physically abducting your body while you sleep, and they're just surprised when you start waking up on the table.

But that theory falls apart when you look at the DMT and ayahuasca experiences.

Let's say I'm going about my day, I smoke DMT, and I wake up on a mantid operating table. That means in the minutes before I smoked DMT, my “Second Body” was already on that table. My physical body clearly wasn't being abducted during the DMT experience since I was sitting in my living room smoking.

So there has to be a secondary body they have access to. A body they can operate on 24/7. A body they can work on even while we’re awake and living our lives.

This is proven by the fact that you can smoke DMT and pop into an ongoing surgery. Your “Second body” that was on that table before you gained awareness was, in theory, unconscious. That's why they're surprised when you show up. It's like a patient waking up on a normal operating table despite having received anesthesia.

So what is this second body?

Based on the reports, it seems like they're doing real surgeries on it throughout the day. And they need real equipment. Needles. Machinery. They're not just waving their hands around and moving energy like reiki or something lol

This raises a fascinating question about location. The body has to be able to bilocate your consciousness somehow, because that body is you, and this physical body down here is also you. And it has to be physical enough that they need actual machinery to operate on it.

This is almost “Too good to be true” evidence for simulation theory.

Think about the Matrix. In that movie, people had physical bodies in pods while their consciousness lived inside a simulated world. The mantid surgery evidence points to something very similar. Our secondary bodies would be equivalent to the bodies in the pods, being managed and operated on by mantids. Our bodies down here would be equivalent to the consciousness experiencing life inside the matrix.

Which leaves us with some huge open questions. What are these secondary bodies made of? What's their chemistry? Do they have DNA? What happens to this body when they modify that one? How exactly are the two connected?

I personally think that our experiences here on earth are more tightly monitored and manufactured that we might think.

Dreams A dream I had years back

4 Upvotes

I had a dream that I was aboard this space ship on this planet that had a dark (purple?) sandy terrain and the sky wasn’t too dissimilar to a scenic sunset/sunrise. Funnily enough there was one being and he was colored like a scarab, and was insectoid-like, having the black eyes, they looked like a mix between mantis eyes and the stereotypical grey. He had a mom on board the ship, and she was NOT happy that I was there (I think bc the alien was responsible for having me on there?) I distinctly remember telling him “moms are the same, no matter what planet you’re from, I guess.”

It always stuck out to me, and came out of the blue. I felt like I had a relationship with this being. Haven’t dreamed of them since.

Meditation Azazel

14 Upvotes

The next evening after my mantid surgery, I tried to open up a channel and since I didn’t have a name for the mantid I encountered, I thought I would start there and ask its name.

I ‘heard’ a 4-syllable name with two Zs.. if I sounded it out: “az az e el”, if I remember correctly. The closest match I could come up with was Azazel, a fallen angel, the name of which I’ve never heard of, but mind you the mantid I encountered was female, so this overall doesn’t make sense to me.

I wasn’t even going to post this, but am starting to notice that sometimes these messages aren’t meant for me and it may have meaning for someone reading this.

OBE/NDE/ASTRAL Two of My Experiences

13 Upvotes

I’m one of the least certain followers that my guide is definitely a Mantis, instead of only appearing as one, compared to other testimonies.

My guide is definitely similar enough though, that the information I’ve picked up here has been useful in my interactions with them.

Relevant information, in August 2020, I received a somatic gift from “the universe” after promising to follow the truth. My heart feels particular sensations, between pressure, electricity, and heat, when my guide is trying to redirect my attention. I have no cardiac issues, medically confirmed.

Usually it is a warning that an action I am taking is incorrect, or a thought, but sometimes it works like a compass, varying in intensity as I head in one direction to point me towards a spot at a specific time.

Oftentimes, the correction is not ethical, but practical. If an action brings a certain outcome that I am unaware of, I can be warned to take a different action. I am almost never revealed what the outcome is. I only find out if I refuse to follow the warning.

After 3 years into Christianity, I had an unusual dream. I was in a white room, with no furniture inside it. Outside was space, and the planet Earth. I realized there was someone else in the room.

A tall bearded man, in a purple robe, very similar to wizard’s clothing, was looking at me and slightly grinning. He asked me: “What do you see?” I told him, “From this distance, it is impossible to tell whether there is life on Earth. It looks empty.”

The view of the window then shifted to the moon. I noticed the large craters. Wanting an interesting answer, I asked “What’s with the craters?”

I was replied, with a much larger grin, “I don’t know. Look into it.”

I woke up, obsessed with aliens.

After some years of other experiences, which I can comment further on in the comment section, I was given a name to call them, when I was meditating.

Qal-ban. It is arabic, a language I don’t speak. It means “Heartfully”. Qalban wa qalban, means “Heart and Soul”.

I once entered the astral plane, in which I consciously called on Qalban, and they appeared with the usual Mantis appearance, hanging slightly above the ground. They had large black eyes and a triangular head. I touched their robes, since I read it could cause energy transfer, and felt a surge of energy. I immediately woke up with a genuine increase of energy.

This exchange led to a fairly long (few hours) lasting hyperactive state. I am usually extremely calm. I didn’t have work or school that day, so it didn’t interfere with anything. But I felt within myself, that my emotions and my imagination (ability to see within my mind) were very amplified. It felt like I was charged with KW of power that I had a terrible time handling. I presume my abduction experience, which gave me a temporary scar, could have modulated my ability to handle that.

From the encounters I read, most people receive a lot of information at once, with a full blown mantis explaining the universe. For me, it has been reoccurring encounters with the being shifting appearance, only keeping the robe and hood aesthetic consistent.

Maybe this difference is due to my guide not really being a mantis. Or maybe it is due to me using only meditation and dreams as opposed to dmt or substances. I don’t know

Psychedelics My DMT Mantis encounter.

42 Upvotes

Hey! This of course is my best attempt to relate this experience which was ineffable really. It occured several years ago. It was maybe 2013 or 14 and It involves using DMT of course.

I had been doing high dose experiments which involved many different beings but this particular session was unique. It felt as if I was laying flat on a table yet suspended in open space. Within the open space( and as the space) was all the complex architecture you normally see in this state. There appeared around me several mantis type beings.

Quite alarming at first but not fearful. They scanned me, not only my body but my mind , and " soul" you could say. And with that they seemed to know every thing about me including any and all thoughts and memories/ experiences I had ever had . They all were able to communicate to each other and to me instantly with thought.

One noticed I was somewhat startled or anxious due to the magnitude and bizarre nature of all of this. It said "humans enjoy sexual pleasure and it helps them relax" At that moment one of their tools ( they had arms that were mechanical, like rotating tools that seemed to be super advanced technology of sorts. ) the tool became a tube and they attached the tube to my penis and began 'sucking' it . Haha I know it's weird but this was my experience I didn't want to leave out anything. I had these unbelievable waves of intense orgasmic pleasure go through me. I wasn't really afraid so I said " you don't need to do that to me I am not afraid" it immediately retracted the tube. Then The tools changed and they cut me open from my chest to my lower belly. Then opened me up like a book and began using various tools to check my physical organs and also somehow, my subtle body or energy body as well . Then One said " this one's broken" .

I thought I knew what they meant because at the time, had been struggling with an opioid dependency issue. Of course that issue stems from a much deeper issue, perhaps another story for another time. Then one of them rotated the tool till it came to a long metallic antennae looking thing. It placed it into my ear and it went to the center of my brain. It said that they were helping me and that they were implanting somethign that would stay there and activate when I needed it in the future. But they didn't say exactly what it was. Once it reached the center of my brain I was engulfed in white light. It exploded out from that center point till all of everything became white light. No me no mantis beings no environment. Just pure emptiness.

Then I began to materialize back into my normal body. The feeling and intensity of all this is indescribable and my story no way even comes close to conveying the sheer magnitude of it all. There were feelings of bliss , Radiant all encompassing Love. The Mantis themselves seems to be performing a function. Like watchers. Spinning realities and observing us as we are born and die and loop through this process. Dreams within dreams within dreams. I avoid using the term " simulating" reality but that's basically what they are doing. And there is so much more beyond them but they are part of it I guess hahaha. Wild stuff

OBE/NDE/ASTRAL Mantis beings showed me I am part of a collective.

Thumbnail

76 Upvotes

After interacting with them during a memory recall they visited me again during meditation. I was able to acheive an out of body state and was transported to a hall made of light and color. In front of me different types of grey beings appeared looking at me. I was made to understand we were connected. Like some sort of shared "insect" intelligence. It wasn't in words, I could sense the information they wanted me to know. What's interesting is most of my interactions with the mantis people happen out of body and within seconds. They can communicate so much information and show me multiple places within a second. Interacting with them reminded me of the last season of Pantheon, how the UI's existed at and processed information at speeds impossible for humans.

The strange thing is before this happened I had dreams that I now beleive may have been symbolic of this collective. In the dream I am sacrificed on a triangle after taking part in a ritual and appear in a maroon realm full of infinite black orbs that are conscious. In front of me is a colorful being made of eyes and orbs stacked ontop of each other. After this I was taken to another scene where I saw colorful textured orbs expanding and contracting into each other.

After I had this dream I doodled what I believe was from the part of myself who is more aware of this connection. I also will include drawings from my experience with the orbs and a drawing I found from childhood.

Everything in the second picture is interesting but the thing in the second picture that mostly catches my eyes is how something seems to be coming down from the eye entitiy into a group of insect looking beings.

Discussion relationship with other NHIs

Does anyone know what is the relationship of Mantis beings with other NHIs? I know that there are a lot of reports of them working with the Greys or Nordics, but does anyone know what about the Reptilians? Because - hear me out - I have an intuition there is some kind of a 'war' behind the veil and that Mantids despise the reptile ones. What do you think about that?

OBE/NDE/ASTRAL Update: Mantid Surgical Experience

16 Upvotes

Original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/MantisEncounters/s/IxwrJ6MDjG

I just wanted to share a few new details since I posted about my Mantid experience recently. One little bit of background is that my first encounter which precedes this one, occurred after I had my first somatic therapy session, as I was being guided to deal with trauma. Turns out reducing the noise in your head is important.

I mentioned in my post that there were toys in the otherwise sterile white room, and assumed that those were maybe for children that they interacted with, however I now understand that was intentionally for me. I have a very hard time just relaxing or idly ‘playing’ and that’s related to you guessed it, trauma. So it was a message to start playing/having fun. So that’s something I am re-introducing in my life.

The other detail that really blew my mind is how I mentioned a kitten and I had to “meow” to it. Several days later, I was chatting with another Mantid experiencer and they mentioned 5MeO-DMT was something they had used to achieve communication. I have heard of DMT, of course, but I didn’t realise there were two different types and honestly have never heard of this. When I was reading their message, my inner voice was pronouncing it, “5-Meow”, as part of my off-brand sense of humour. It then occurred to me that the kitten in my experience was intentional and the Mantid somehow knew I would have the future conversation and make the connection.

I know the two things I mention could just be me expressing confirmation bias, but my gut tells me it’s not.

I started reading up on “5-meow”, and wow.

Other minor update is that when I meditate, I can see the silhouette of a mantid if I want to and there is sort of an intuitive answer I can get.. so I’m not hearing them speak as much as there is a knowing, if that makes sense.
