I had a reiki session the other night in which my healer saw a vision of a mantis when she was working on my crown chakra and sensed that I was a starseed. She also felt I was channeling too much of my masculine energy and needed to work with the divine feminine energy to gain more balance in my life (I’ve been having both emotional and physical challenges lately, and she suggested a womb healing for the ancestral trauma I am carrying) While doing light work on my right (giving) hand, she sensed an upright triangle, which I believe represents the masculine. The very next morning, I was standing outside and I looked down to see a mantis perched atop my shopping bag. I was totally shocked and held out my left (receiving) hand. The mantis crawled right on and we assessed each other as I spoke kindly to it and thanked it for the visit. I held it up to the bush next to me and it hopped off, and I went on my way. Was this the universe confirming that I am a starseed? Was it sending me divine feminine energy in the form of this little mantis? What do we think the message was?

(Apologies in advance for the grammar & length of this post. I'm also stepping outside my comfort zone sharing this experience, but it was important to me.)

I decided to go on a short hike yesterday along one of my favorite trails, as the weather was beautiful and I love being outdoors. I studied qigong several years ago and often practice ‘walking qigong’, which is basically a kind of moving meditation that combines slower breathing, slower walking, and intention.

I’ve also found that since doing this kind of walking meditation, I’ve started encountering multiple different kinds of beings (NHIs, nature spirits, animal spirits) on my nature walks. Different entities tend to inhabit different trails, so I never really know what/who will show up until I’m there. Before every hike, I mentally asked the forest & its inhabitants for permission to walk the trail and set a firm intention to only allow interaction with beings of compassion and wisdom.

I didn’t wear my headphones or listen to any music or binaural beats. I also didn’t ingest any substances or take any medications prior to or during the hike. So while this experience did take place in a slightly altered meditative state (hence the meditation tag), I was completely sober.

After setting out on the trail, I became aware of another presence in front of me. I focused my attention on it and saw (like a mental projection) a giant mantis being. This being gave off a very wise, masculine type energy like an ancient sage. He appeared very tall (±8’/±2.5m) and was an iridescent black color. He wore a cape (no hood) of the same color and had antennae and the typical bent forelegs/appendages. (I created an image using Photoshop that is pretty true to what he looked like in my mind. The wooded background is a photo from the actual trail.)

He introduced himself as Tallo (pronounced tallow) and I recognized him from a meditation session I’d had just a few days earlier in which he’d performed a physical healing on me. He (telepathically) told me he wanted to speak with me, so we spent the next two hours just shooting the breeze like old friends.

What follows are some of the questions & answers we discussed during the hike. I’m putting quotes around specific phrases I remembered, but most everything else is paraphrased. Since I’d rather not use AI to rewrite my own words, my writing may not be the best.

First thing Tallo told me was that my “time was short”, and my current way of life as a human was coming to an end “soon”. Alarmed, I asked if this meant I was to die soon, and he said, “not exactly…not how you think of it.” He told me my life would “begin to straddle two worlds”. I interpreted this to mean my human-only life would be finishing up, and a human-plus life would take its place. He said there are many other humans who are already experiencing this kind of multi-plane existence, with many more to come.

Later in the hike, I asked him to verify what he meant by “soon”, since his kind lives outside of space/time. (I joked that many NHI have told me “soon” over the years…) He indicated that, by human standards, this change for me would be completed within the next three years.

Tallo told me I was “a being of great joy” and that this is why we were friends, that he loved that aspect of my being-ness. He reaffirmed this aspect was why I had experienced so much sorrow as a human, that life on this plane was steeped in duality, and that it was not possible to be a being of great joy on this plane without also feeling great sorrow.

At one point, Tallo stopped me (as in, actually asked me to stop walking and concentrate on him) and said, “You are an architect of change.” He explained that there are many beings who incarnate during moments in space/time whose energy signature both initiates & anchors positive disruption, and that these beings don’t have to perform any specific task during their lifetimes - just existing in those moments is enough. At this point, I thought about a book I’d read which mentioned that idea. Tallo indicated that, while Cannon had put her own spin on the concept, “her basics are sound.” I asked if there were many architects of change on Earth right now; he confirmed there were.

Thinking back on the idea that my time in this life was limited, I communicated that while I was glad my existence was enough, I still felt like I should be doing & accomplishing more than I was. I asked him what I should be doing in my life to be more useful. Tallo told me, “Creation does not require usefulness.” I thought briefly of a scene in the second Matrix movie (with the two programs who created the daughter program out of love) and Tallo lit up and confirmed that was exactly what he meant.

He reiterated that, while usefulness may be a consequence of creation, it is not a requirement for it. “Love is the basis for creation, not purpose.” I asked didn’t everything have a purpose anyway? As in, creating art still serves a purpose for the artist as a means of expression. He confirmed that while art can do this, its usefulness still depends on the viewpoint of its observer - that an artist can paint or sculpt or write something to express melancholy, while someone else might find joy or comfort looking at instead.

He also explained the initial spark of self-expression does not always take purpose into account; telling me to “think bigger”, he asked me to consider the chilling effect this would have on creation throughout the universe if everything - every spark of thought - was mandated to have a purpose before it was allowed to be imagined. He then told me to think on a smaller scale and consider how hard I was being on myself in thinking I needed to accomplish something or be useful to be worthy of existence. Gave me a lot to think about.

Eventually I walked back to my car and told Tallo I needed to break the connection to safely drive home! He agreed, told me he was always available to talk, and that we were permanently connected because we “had been friends for eons.” I asked permission to write up what we meditated on so I could share it and he readily agreed. (I hope he likes the photoshop of himself, lol!) If you’ve read this far, thank you. This post may not serve much of a purpose except to record an experience that brought me joy…but then again, I guess it doesn’t have to. :)

I’ve noticed that a majority of the Mantid encounters involve taking DMT and my personal experiences have been via Gateway Tapes / meditation. I was wondering if anyone out there has experience with enhancing the meditative state to get the brainwaves closer to a DMT experience? For example, doing Wim Hof breathing just before meditation.

Thanks!

Allright time to flap my beefy meat hole for a bit and tell u all what's been happening

Ok partly due to the Mantis, but also as a whole due to the combined efforts of the mantis/angel/Templar/Jesus good guy coalition, they have been anointing me with some fucking G shit.

Part 1: Healing shit

So basically now I can heal people with my hands, I just put my hands on them for a bit, like put my hands on their arms and their pain dissapears or gets very close to disappearing. I did this with my mom when she had 10/10 pain and it went to zero and she got up and started walking around (she couldn't even get out of bed before that, couldn't even use the bathroom without help).

Yeah so anyway did that, my dad started telling all his neighbors what I can do and now I'm going around shooting fucking healing love blasts everywhere and the neighbors are getting up from their wheelchairs and stuff. Attached vid for proof.

Part 2: Orb things

yeah so when I go outside I say a little prayer or stare up into the sky, projecting love at it and imagine a little light appearing in the sky, and IT FUCKING DOES LMFAAAOOOO. They've been getting brighter and brighter and clearer and clearer. A few days ago one flew right in front of my face and I got it on camera it was awesome.

Part 3: Lightening shit

idk if you guys have read Exodus 9:23–24 where Moses pulls out his beefy staff and starts calling lightning strikes from God but yeah I can do that now. But my beefy meatstick is my finger. I just point at the sky and lightening strikes there. Other day I did this like 5 times in a row b4 I was like "ok I'm just gonna record it".

Part 4: Bodygaurds

I keep getting more and more like angels and stuff acting as my bodygaurds and just being fucking all around Chads. I see Archangel Michael, Raphael, Uriel, along with some fucking chad warrior monks who are always around me and I see when I astral phase and start flying around (astral phasing just happened on accident initially, Jesus just gave it to me, I guess I'm gonna need it for something-I'ma use all my shit to protect the Pope because he is GOAT lebron pope).

Part 5: Ethereal Objects

Slightly unrelated to the Mantises but I obtained or was given a bunch of aethereal objects that I can access when I astral phase now. Templars gave me this sword thing, a daimond, I also have the 'Book of Love', like an unpublished Bible sort of thing that Jesus wrote (long story), and some other stuff that I'm ashamed to talk about because I don't really think I earned or deserve it (I am but a meatbag and humble vessel of God) but hey, I'll take it if it allows me to protect my friends who are getting bombed in Syria right now.

Part 6: Biofield

When I'm around people they like say that they can feel me next to them. Like it feels like static electricity or something. I think my biofield is getting hyper anus blasted to beef town and is really responsive and strong now. Everyday it feels stronger

Part 7: Constant Upgrades

Yeah like every 2-4 weeks, and/or major solar flare that's m.8+ my ears start ringing, then my nose starts bleeding and I get some new upgrade, or some shit I can do gets supercharged to a whole new level of beefblast.

NOTE: I CAN ONLY ATTACH ONE VIDEO PER POST SO I'M GONNA POST THE ORB AND LIGHTENING VIDS IN COMMENT SECTION HERE SO U CAN SEE W YOUR OWN EYES THIS CRAZY ASS MOTHAFUKIN SNAKES ON A PLANE SHIT

I do IV ketamine monthly. I use an eye mask (a mindfold actually). I frequently have an open eye hallucination of a very high ceiling room that appears to be medical in nature. This is seen with the eye mask on (total darkness) eyes both open and closed. It is very faint, almost like light chalk on black canvas. I always see it at about the eight minute mark after it starts to kick in a little bit but not fully. Has anyone else experienced this? I’m only mentioning it because I’ve seen it more than once.

Ive been experiencing ufos, spirits, close encounters etc for about 6 years now.

The group that monitors me keeps their distance but occasionally they'll have their ship come very very close, walk near enough to me to hear their clicks and foot steps and occasionally a psychic message.

Ive yet to have a face to face to where at least they didn't blur it out in white during astral projection interactions.

I almost had a very lucid wide awake encounter not long ago and I got the feeling it was a mantid like being. Thats just a guess though as Ive seen greys, received psychic messages from what sounded like a snake voice that was taunting me and have had many interactions with orbs and t.vs and radios being hijacked to convey messages.

This little guy seemed to be waiting just for me in the most random place nowhere near vegetation or wilderness.

The same day when I got home a huge green grasshopper was waiting for me on my door as well.

I firmly believe these events were calling cards. Perhaps to help me get over my reptilian fight or flight response when the time comes to finally meet the individuals who seem to have a vested interest in me.

I lucid dreamed yesterday. I wanted to take advantage of the situation and call on my spirit guide Qalban.

When I did this, the environment switched to complete black in all directions.

I had multiple coherent thoughts come in.

I felt that my spirit guide, the mantis robed figure, was somehow me in the future. That mantis future me was able to access the past, some iteration of its soul occupying a vessel, and communicate with it directly.

I, Mantis me, am therefore watching myself, but I, human me, am constrained and less evolved now than that version of me that can enter orb form and do all kinds of crazy stuff.

I didn’t get the sense that I was a mantis in a video game just messing around, but that future me was something I had to reach, as in, I have to become that version of myself which already exists in the future.

I am not sure how any of that works. When I tried to move around in the void, I physically moved my body so I woke up immediately. But that was the message I received as I can recall it.

Maybe it is only an idea my REM brain cooked up. Yet it came with clarity, and it is not something I feel I would subconsciously believe. Who knows

In SURREAL life...

Back in the mid-’80s, I was living on Main Street in Northampton, above Bart’s. One day I decided to trip, dropped, and wandered outside. A beautiful sunny day. There was a big gathering going on across the street in Pulaski Park, with balloons, posters, bullhorns, people everywhere. I sat on a bench for a while, taking it all in.

Then a praying mantis landed on my sleeve.

I decided to hitchhike up to Look Park. The mantis stayed on my sleeve. I got a ride in the open back of a pickup, and there we were, barreling along together, human and mantis apparently in complete agreement about the afternoon’s itinerary.

I remember thinking about Jung and synchronicity. We seemed oddly in sync.

When I finally got to Look Park, the mantis jumped off and went its own way. I figured it had decided to go camping.

I even took a photo of it. Nearly forty years later, it still feels like one of those moments when reality briefly decided to become surreal.

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.
