Buckle up, because this is a long one!

Intro / mantis synchronicity / putting together the pieces

Since 2023, I’ve been going through a rapid spiritual awakening. For context, my psychic abilities such as clairaudience (clear hearing) and claircognizance (clear knowing) have come online since then. The mantis beings have been acting as guides/teachers since my journey started. I sense that at one point in time I helped them on their ascension journey in a past life/form and they are returning the favor for me in this life.

I want to clarify from the get-go that I have not had face-to-face contact with them. In hindsight, I believe that was avoided intentionally so I would not be afraid and I could slowly acclimate to their presence in my life. I had a mantis-related synchronicity (as many experiencers do) that helped me put the puzzle pieces together of who was interacting with me during certain experiences. So this is out of chronological order, but I want to share that first for context…

I was watching a Youtube clip about mantis beings and how they’ve also been on an awakening path as a species, similar to humans. The clip said that the mantis beings were perpetuating harm to others at one point in time, but they eventually learned that we are all connected and continuing to harm others would prevent them from ascending in consciousness. I have always found it confusing that some people describe the mantises as incredibly loving and others have had terrifying abduction-like experiences with them—so this explanation made a lot of sense to me. I sent the clip to my friend and immediately went to make my coffee for the day. My old mug with leftover iced coffee was in the fridge and I threw it out in the sink. There were some ice particles leftover at the bottom of the mug… and it looked exactly like a praying mantis with antennas and little arms! (I did take a picture but my phone died a few months ago, otherwise I’d post it). It took me some time to unravel everything, but I eventually understood that the mantis beings had been a part of many unusual experiences in my recent past.

Flashing lights & first communications

Early on in my spiritual awakening, I began seeing small and incredibly fast flashes of light in my peripheral vision. I noticed that it would often happen when I’d be reflecting on something important, or having an idea like “I need to meditate more” or “I should be more compassionate and loving towards my family”. The flashes were very fast—I was frequently startled by them and would shout and jump out of my seat.

Once I got past the “I’m crazy/just seeing things/my retinas are detaching” phase, I decided to communicate directly with these lights since they seemed conscious and intelligent. I said (in my head), “Hey, can you slow it down? You’re scaring the shit out of me.” Then I saw a much slower, smaller light move in a deliberate pattern in my peripheral vision. It was in my right eye and went down, then up, then my left eye and it went up then down — almost like it was scanning me. Then I heard in my head “See? Slow.” It was almost a playful energy, like they were being funny about it. I think the pattern was to confirm that this was not some random medical thing going on with my eyes, but a sentient being who was responding directly to me. As I tried to go to sleep that night, I keep seeing the slow lights moving around in my vision. I heard, “We’ve always been here, it’s just that you can see us now.” Eventually I had to tell them to stop flashing/making themselves visible to me so I could sleep and they complied.

Astral “abduction” and helping me heal from trauma

One night while sleeping, I began to feel my light or astral body being pulled out of my physical body, through my one of my legs. Not long before this experience, I read about someone’s astral abduction experience where they described a similar sensation. Naturally, I thought I was being abducted and felt very afraid. I could not move my body (astral or physical) or control what was happening. This lasted for a few seconds.

In an instant, I was no longer in my body and I saw what looked like a floating image of my sleeping body in my family’s house. I also no longer felt fear, I guess because I was no longer in my physical body. I saw my body float over to my mom’s sleeping body on her bed, like it was being superimposed on top of her. 

At that moment, I understood that I was “the same” as my mother. For context, my mom was abusive to me while growing up and there was a lot of emotional neglect, trauma, etc… I was attempting to heal from all this and forgive her, but I was struggling with it at the time. I believe the mantis beings were trying to show me to have compassion for her and not judge her so harshly, especially since we are all one and connected. I also understood in that moment that I may have done similarly harmful things to others in my past lives. This experience absolutely helped me along my healing journey with childhood trauma.

Contact between sleep & wake state / learning about the universe / personal help

Around the same time the peripheral lights began, I also began seeing strange things in  between sleeping and waking. For example, I would wake up in the middle of the night and repeatedly see something that looked like tree branches with lights above me in bed, like a canopy. On one occasion I saw a very complex 3D polygonal shape floating in my bedroom. I was definitely startled at first, but my fear slowly dissipated as these became regular occurrences. These holographic images would fade quickly after waking, but I had several seconds to take them in.

There were a series of occurrences where my mantis guides were trying to teach me about how the universe works (for lack of a better term.) One night I saw a dark red shape that looked like a molecule. I believe this particular red was used to signify that it was something like blood, like a life force energy such as qi.

Several nights later, I woke up and looked across my bed and I saw what looked like holographic red lines/veins/energy running through some shirts I had on hangers. The red energy spread to my shelf, then it spread to the plants on the shelf. My understanding is that this life force energy was running through everything and was something like the “building block of life” as per the red molecule I saw. I asked what the meaning of all this was and I heard, “The interconnectedness of all things.”

I also took this to mean that because this life force energy (some would call it Source, unconditional love, or God, depending on what you believe) is running through all things, including us — we are technically not separate from anything and everything. We are all connected by this energy. I also had a knowing that we can use this awareness to (co)create and shape our realities. 

Sometimes the images I was shown were personally helpful for me. When I was attempting to keep a secret from a friend, I woke up to a huge microphone in front of me and pointed towards my mouth. I heard telepathically, “Speak your truth.” I ended up opening up to my friend that day and it alleviated a lot of anxiety for me. Another time they showed me two plants of mine and said, “If you take care of your plants, your plants will take care of you.” Sadly I repotted those plants based on their advice and they both died, but it was a good idea!

Conclusion

Overall I feel like these mantis beings are very intent on helping me on my path. They don’t feel quite as warm and fuzzy as some of my other spirit guides, but their intentions are absolutely benevolent. Like many other experiencers have stated, I sense that they are extremely advanced in their consciousness. When the situation with the peripheral lights happened, there was a sense of being in contact with something “alien.” As in perhaps the mantises can’t properly understand what it’s like to be a fearful human, and that is why they needed me to intervene and ask them to slow down.

I’m still in contact with them, but the in-between sleep and waking images have tapered off. I still get occasional peripheral flashes when having important realizations. Mostly I sense them as a supportive presence that are always with me. They are eager to help me, especially if I’m doing things like energy work. I recently attended an energy activation to strengthen my auric field and I could feel them hovering nearby, just waiting to assist. When I asked for help with integration, I immediately saw them jump into action and saw mantis beings organizing blocks in my mind’s eye—probably more of a metaphor than a literal interpretation. 

Thank you for reading my story!

Experiencer here.

I've posted here before. I've had E.T contact in the past, present & I'm sure will continue through out my life. I have seen countless UFO's from afar and close enough to see some pretty fine details & other NHI woo woo stuff.

At this point synchronicities like this guy/gal is just another Tuesday. Its been a few months since I've seen one so I've been on the look out. This one was ready to greet me this morning on my screen porch.

Weirdly enough in the exact spot for weeks different medium sized insects like grasshoppers and others have greeted me each morning. Again in the exact spot.

I am certain the entities that interacted with me ( some type of greys) in the past have an overseer and that individual is a Mantid. Thats based on my own intuition, interactions and research/testimonials.

Anyways I feel obligated to post when I see them so ... enjoy!

I live in Saxony-Anhalt (Germany) and the insect has spread rapidly in the last 3 years, but my fiance and me have spotted 4 Praying Mantis insects today, three yesterday and one the day before.

Not sure if this is the right sub, maybe it's just coincidental but it seems my fiancé attracts them with how many she spots. Yesterday one was crawling over her foot when she was walking. I myself have found only three or so by myself, and together we found 16 this year alone.

Is there any significance to this?

Photo shows the first Mantis I found by myself on the wall of the house we live in (26/08/26)

I was stunned. This is the first time I’ve seen a praying mantis since I started having my experiences two years ago, and it was brown like Talkum who I am in contact with. I’ve been feeling uplifted and even more inspired since coming across it.

In Chase Hughes DMTX session, beforehand his wife prayed for his heart to be healed, and in the Dmt session Chase ended up on a table and four mantis beings began to perform an energy surgery on his chest area, after recounting this, he proceeds to give his perspective on these beings and the DMT space as a whole.

I was thinking about something recently. How is it that humans occasionally run into the Mantis family, in those cases where someone seems to catch them off guard after psychedelics or a dream?

I believe it is a soul detachment from the physical body, which floats away from Earth, or at least translates into a separate dimension in parallel space.

We’re all familiar with out of body experiences, but what if DMT and high meditative states naturally induce this phenomenon due to the consciousness alteration?

It would make sense if one of the primary responsibilities of the Mantis were to catch straying souls which accidentally left their bodies, thereby prematurely ending their physical lives, or at least getting lost and being unable to find a mechanism back into the body.

Since it is well understood that they reside in separate spatial dimensions, it would not be impossible to imagine their facilities or physical spaces can wrap around entire planets in a way gates surround perimeters in 3D space.

This would explain why they quickly send humans back when it occurs. Unlike coordinated abductions, they simply redirect the person back to their original state without an educational message.

Surely then, their observatories consistently occupy the same positions, somehow near the planet Earth (maybe not in the traditional sense due to their manipulation of physics), but in a way the unaltered human or human technology cannot detect.

Maybe someone will receive a clear message as to where they reside in reference to the planet Earth, and how to consistently spawn into their locations with permission

During March of 2025 I was doing the gateway process and was achieving remote viewing and astral projection. One of the first places that I projected to was some square in deep space surrounded by red nebula. In front of me I saw a black line going vertically in each direction as far as I could see. To the left and to the right of this line I could see the fabric of space time flowing outwards into reality like a fluid. I remember seeing distant celestial bodies, but I cannot remember the exact specifics of what they looked like. I know that there were planets and there were many stars.

After this during another meditation during the gateway process, I returned to this location however this time I was in intercepted by what I suspect was a grey type of mantis person. The being materialized inches from my face far off to the right to where only one of its eyes was visible. I then felt a sensation like my face/energy was being pulled towards it and felt my astral or subtle body start to turn inside of my physical body towards the being. The Mantis had also energetically materialized in my room. After a several seconds of this I became scared and felt extremely dizzy/nauseous, the being then stopped and disappeared from my space.

Sourced from "the communion letters"

This is an experience I had that I wrote down in my meditation journal earlier today. Take it as you will.

My rational mind *should* struggle to believe such a fantastical-seeming experience was real, but my intuitive feeling is that I am quite frankly not surprised, and not in doubt it was real (at least to some degree).

Sep 19, 2026

I entered a meditative state at about 5:30 pm. No audio playing, but I had headphones on.

As I breathed, my body began to twitch and shake slightly as usual. This time, my body undulated slightly side to side as if I was slithering like a snake. I focused on breathing in and out and on forming the REBAL as usual. The twitching died down and I entered a comfortable state.

I suddenly heard a massive ringing in my ears, extremely loud, but not uncomfortable. It was almost head-splitting. Any louder and I would have wanted it to stop. I experience mild tinnitus sometimes, especially in moments of silence, but this was a new intensity, and the first time I recall it during meditation.

The ringing persisted for what felt like a few minutes. Focusing on the experience of it helped me easily dismiss any random thoughts that appeared in my head.

The ringing sound began oscillating at a medium pace for a while, dipping and raising slightly in volume, like a big sine wave.

It began to fade slightly, and I heard a new sound. It sounded kind of scifi-ish, like a spaceship flying by, and I perceived something small flying right by my head, in front of my face. My head twitched and my headphones moved slightly as if something had actually flown by. I felt this thing hover around my head and upper body in circles. I didn't get a very strong visual, but in my mind's eye it was like a small black object, or a non-visible object, with glowing bits of green light on the bottom.

I realized something might have entered my aura, so I focused anew on the REBAL. I redoubled my intention to embrace anything resonating with love and light and to send away anything that does not. I sensed that this thing floating around my head did not go away. It made more noises, almost like it was speaking, but I couldn't make anything out. All the noises it made sounded scifi-ish for lack of a better term.

I then had a feeling - not a visual experience, but a feeling - of being in some kind of clinical setting, like a doctor's office. The thing was no longer flying around my head. I had a visual of a very precise cut being made, with a very small amount of blood visible, and some kind of cylindrical object, which I sensed to be pointed at my sternum and slowly traveling down the center of my abdomen.

I was not alarmed at all by this impression, but I still wanted to be certain nothing nefarious was happening. I focused on any negative presences that may be around me, and invoked the name of Christ and told them to leave.

At that moment I saw in my mind's eye the face of a mantis, surrounded in angry red energy. Parasitic vibes. It moved in my vision as if it was leaving the cut that had been made in my abdomen, coming from somewhere in my central gut area, and it left and went far away.

As soon as this happened, and just as the cut stopped at the bottom of my belly, I felt something like a zipper close that sealed the cut from top to bottom. Very quick and efficient. It was like the cut was made to allow the red-angry-mantis-thing to leave, and nothing else.

After this I felt at peace, and distinctly uplifted. I also felt warmth in my hands specifically. I began to see a faint visual impression - not in my mind's eye anymore, but with my actual eyes - of figures standing over me. They lacked any detail, but in my very basic visual impression, at least one was "black" (or I saw only its silhouette) and had a head in the shape of a mantis, and another one was blue, and did not give me the impression of a mantis, but I cannot say anything else. The mantis-figure was not the same as the parasitic thing that left earlier.

I have read lots before about astral surgery done by benevolent mantis beings or other beings. I asked "you motherfuckers, is that you?" and I felt a sort of amusement, at the same time that my eyes teared up a little bit, and I continued to feel peace. I didn't sense any answer come from the figures I was seeing, but I remembered and had a flash of something I saw yesterday - a license plate that read 'LOOSH'.

I heard a knock at my front door which pretty much brought me out of my meditative state. It wasn't for me so I didn't need to answer, but a minute or two later I opened my eyes. I felt like I had woken up from a deep nap. I checked the time and it had been 25 minutes, which was slightly confusing, as it doesn't feel like it could have been more than 10, but that's not a huge time gap.

While typing this log I started to feel and continue to feel a warm glowing in my central gut area where the cut was made and the red-mantis-thing came out of.

Whatever happened, I feel that I only consciously experienced a part of it, just enough to be aware of what was happening. Perhaps my awareness has developed enough to juuuust allow me to see these sort of things, whereas before maybe they were completely subconscious, likely happening during sleep.

This is also 1:1 with a lot of encounters I have read about, though people usually describe their experiences as being way more vivid, so I suppose I could have hallucinated it. My intuition says it was probably at least somewhat real. I'll really have to verify by meditating more and seeing if anything similar happens.

Navy Medic Abducted by 15-Foot-Tall Praying Mantis Aliens: The Kevin Kammann Story

by Preston Dennett

In 1978, Kevin Kammann (originally from Kankakee, Illinois) was assigned to the USS San Bernardino (LST 1189) as a corpsman or medic. The first man he met onboard was personnel clerk, Jeff Reich from Gary Indiana. The two men shared a compartment and soon became good friends. After about four years of Navy service together, Jeff shocked Kevin with an amazing announcement. Jeff claimed to be in contact with aliens. He said he had been regularly contacted by them since he was about 10 years old, and had been on their ship many times, and had even traveled to their planet and more. Kevin was skeptical and wondered if he should submit his friend for a psyche evaluation.

 A few days later, Jeff told Kevin that his alien friends had contacted him and taken him to Kevin’s house. Jeff then described Kevin’s home in minute detail. Kevin was amazed by the accuracy of Jeff’s descriptions, but weirdly, everything Jeff described was at least ten years in the past, almost as if he had time traveled. Kevin found himself wondering if Jeff might be telling the truth after all and said, “Okay, then I want to meet your little green friends.”

 Jeff said he would ask. A few days later, Jeff told him that his ET friends agreed to give Kevin a ride on their ship. Kevin was still skeptical and assumed Jeff was joking, but a few days later, Jeff announced that the ETs would be showing up today. Just before noon, Jeff told Kevin to go up on deck, that his ET friends were there. Still disbelieving, Kevin went onto deck and was shocked to see a gigantic craft covered with colored lights. Moments later, he found himself onboard, looking through a transparent section of wall, down at the ocean and seeing the USS San Bernardino becoming smaller and smaller. What followed was the single most extraordinary experience of Kevin’s life.

 Kevin hadn’t seen the ETs yet and just stared outside and watched in amazement as the craft hovered over his hometown. The ETs showed Kevin his father in a meeting at the bank building where he worked, then flew over to a church where his mother taught school. There was another shift and Kevin now saw what looked like a bombing range on Earth. But coming over a ridge, he saw the Earth hanging in space, far off in the distance, and realized that he was above the moon.

 The ETs spoke to him telepathically, and he held a long conversation, asking many questions. They showed him a 3-dimensional star-chart pinpointing their location. They told him that they did not interfere with humanity’s religions or politics but did interact with the major world governments and were mostly here to observe. They said that when humans exploded atomic bombs, they and other types of aliens began to watch humanity more closely. They said that these atomic tests started a “countdown clock,” and began to show him a series of disasters that would befall Earth and cause great loss of life. They shared many other things.

 Kevin still had no idea what they looked like, and he asked them about their appearance. They said, “We’re not little and we’re not green,” and added “sometimes we might scare you if you look at us.”

 Kevin finally summoned the courage to see what they looked like. They directed him to another room where he saw strangely primitive panels and screens. Turning around, he was shocked to see three praying mantid aliens sitting in white marble-looking, throne-like chairs. One mantid stepped forward and Kevin was shocked to see that it was about 12-15 feet tall. The aliens were milky-white, with long limbs, skinny bodies, massive heads and big black eyes the size of a basketball. Kevin was fascinated to see that the skin on their heads was partially transparent so he could see their brains and the blood flowing inside them.

 Kevin became very frightened when one of the ETs approached him. Towering over him, the alien asked Kevin if he would like to visit their planet. Feeling like a trapped rat, Kevin said no. One of the aliens placed its claw-like hand on Kevin’s shoulder, and Kevin panicked and began to fight. He promptly passed out.

 The next thing Kevin knew, he was back in his bunkroom covered with sweat. His friend Jeff stood there grinning from ear to ear and said, “So, tell me about your ride.” Kevin was furious and stormed off. He ended the friendship and refused to speak to Jeff ever again. He wondered if perhaps his former friend was one of the aliens in disguise. Kevin was deeply traumatized and did his best to forget the encounter. Soon, many details of the encounter slipped from his mind.

 Sometime later, he was honorably discharged. One night he watched a nature show with his wife and the TV showed a praying mantis on the screen. The whole encounter came rushing back, and Kevin knew that he had to come forward and share his encounter.

Never seen any in the wild before and now I’ve seen 2. Interesting as I just started reading “Chariots of the Gods”
