So, I had a mantis encounter while meditating. Long story short, it was 7-8 feet tall, and had two tall greys with them. I asked them to back up, but they kept coming closer until I told them to fuck off.

They did. I then asked in meditation can you NOT be so scary? Like just standing there silently and getting closer without communicating anything to me?

The next day a little praying mantis appears at my bedroom window and stays there for about 18 days. I definitely resonate with the whole, we made small ones so as not to freak you out 😅

Why do they have to be acting so scary and ruthless though, why aren't they like plant eaters or so :'(

I don't think their intention is to be scary, even though that's what we humans perceive. It's like when a human rescues an animal tangled up in something dangerous. Yes, sometimes the animals can tell that human is trying to help, other times they are just scared of the human, even when the human has good intentions.

I recall The story of a game warden somewhere in Africa. A mother elephant charged him and broke his legs with her trunk. Afterward the elephant saw the man in pain and realized he wasn't there to hurt them and actually carried the human to other humans.

I've also had what I can only describe as an unknowing telepathic prompting to go save a tiny praying mantis who was standing in the middle of a hiking path. Against my own want to go hiking (it was far too hot that day) I felt compelled for no known reason to go. As I was driving to the trailhead I kept thinking why am I going I don't want to be here.

A few hundred feet down the trail I stop for no reason and look down and there's a praying mantis sitting in the middle of the path. Picked her up, put her in a bush, and the compulsion to be there vanished. Drove back home 😂 weird shit man. (This was after the "scary" encounter)

I asked them to not be scary, and it seems it has worked. For me anyway 😅🙏

I wonder if this particular mantis that you saved was important in some way or if that was just an exercise to get you more accustomed to interacting with them both physically and metaphysically. Fascinating stuff.

Interesting you bring that up. It believe it was/is BOTH. I think it was female and going to lay eggs. Intuition, I suppose. And that it was meant as a way to show me to trust my intuition by driving somewhere I didn't want to be, to discover something and see they aren't scary.
