Yeah, I've had spirit/other worldly experiences since about as young as I could remember and some of them have been pretty damn terrifying. Mystical shit runs on my grandmother's line on my paternal side, descended from old Anglo-Scot witches or something.

Kind of ended up thrusting me down a path of DIY Shamanism for lack of a better term for it.
 
I've dealt with some shit myself, thing has basically pulled me out of bed (like I could kinda feel it dragging me down to the foot of the bed) once and has pulled the blanket off the bed a couple times as well. (the blanket was way further than I could have kicked it off, talking like 3' away from the bed like somebody was standing there pulling it piled up)

Similar to black hag or a night terror (sort of paralyzed but not fully, hard to talk) but there is the factor of things being moved like the blanket or myself getting pulled to the end of the bed.

Hasn't popped up in a bit but I did sage shit and soon as I can speak I tell it off best I know how.

Just don't read made up languages aloud kids, that's when my problems started.
 
didn’t have any problems with ghosts until i started hearing my sonichu tulpa speak aloud now i have to close my windows at night or the wind whispers secrets in my ears

A computer simulation is just that: a simulation. So consciousness native to it is no more possible than characters in a dream having their own consciousness. Which means that in order for people to be in a simulation, they'd have to be connected to it, The Matrix style. There'd be the consciousness outside the simulation, and the brain and body working inside the simulation.

Which again sounds just like dualism with the spirit and material body.

The theory goes there is an overlaying energy field consciousness over all wavelengths which includes time, called the "Absolute". When you physical body dies, your consciousness returns to the overlay consciousness to share it's experiences.

The creator of the universe, is the overlay consciousness. This ties into Quantum theory, in that as soon as a proton is perceived. It resolves it state. Before it's perceived it is in all possible positions. The Universe only exists in the manner it does because the collective consciousness of everyone that every lived or will live, is perceiving it. You are watching yourself live your life in physical reality. Or in this bandwidth.

All of this is similar to what Religions and Mysticists write of around the world. The Eternal Soul, the omniscient God that's unknowable, Reincarnation. etc...

However other people have said that while the absolute created the Universe and exists in the upper bandwidth, below the physical reality is the lower bandwidth, in where you get your Demons and Jinn and the like. Does that mean there is also an "Absolute" in the low bandwidth?

Pardon the necro, but I had something happen a while ago that probably wasn’t paranormal but I feel like something special happened and it has been on my mind.

We were visiting friends who live a few hours away, my husband had a few drinks and I offered to drive us home after midnight. I like driving, but my skill level is not far off average.

On the highway was a construction zone. No workers that late but lots of flashing lights and dividers. I slowed down from 100 km/hr (65 mph) to 80 (50mph). There was very little traffic.

I noticed one pair of headlights coming on way too fast. Somehow, in just a few seconds, I intuited the vehicle was in my lane, and we were in line for a head on crash.

Somehow, I managed to get into the ditch, and the oncoming vehicle missed my driver side mirror by less than a foot. Once passed, I easily drove back onto the highway and kept going. No brake lights in my rear view mirror, no idea what the other guy was up to.

The construction project was tearing up the ditches, but I drove off the road onto a completely safe spot. It felt like I was not in control and time slowed down. I even had time to look out the side window at the other truck while it passed us.

A short distance in either direction and I’d have driven into a parked bulldozer or a pit.

This likely is just adrenaline, muscle memory and instinct, but it was so incredibly lucky. My brain probably did something mundane, but it didn’t feel like any state I normally exist in. I feel so grateful that something absolutely terrible did not happen that night.

I can see how this sort of thing breeds religious conversions though.

Edit: I just asked my husband what he remembers- he says he didn’t even react until it was over because it happened so fast.

Yeah, Esperanto is a killer....
 
I’ve been interested in these kinds of ideas for a long time, I think most things mentioned here as well as all religious teachings and some science like quantum physics are trying to describe the same spiritual phenomena that humanity has been experiencing since the dawn of time, just understood through all our different cultural lenses. What that is I have a sense of but I can’t explain it, I can only use buzzwords or cliches which make me look like a schizo. I have an innate understanding of it though.

The thing that made it click for me, and I don’t think it’s been mentioned in this thread is near death experiences. Where people in clinical settings are declared dead then come back and tell their doctors word for word what was said during their surgery. The implications of NDE’s are that the mind (or soul) and the body are separate entities and that consciousness (soul) can live on after physical death. The older I get the more this done-to-death Bill Hicks quote makes sense: "Today, a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration – that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves."

As for thread tax, I’ve had some really bizarre experiences I can’t explain while meditating. The best I can call them are out of body experiences where my consciousness left my physical body or I was transported to another place. I have aphantasia (I can’t think in pictures) so it’s hard for me to put these experiences into a visual language, they were more sound and language based. In one case I was meditating when my consciousness lurched out of my body and I saw a ball of light surround my heart and shoot up and into the universe, curing me of any and all anxiety I had been experiencing for years. I was 100% good from that day forward and have not experienced any anxiety to that level since.

Only my wife really knows about this side of me, you would not know this about me if you knew me.
 
I’ll necro the thread to share a story my mom told me this week. I have a crazy family member that’s been lying about my grandma’s death for about five years. There’s a language barrier between my grandma and the rest of us, and the crazy family member was always responsible for translation. My mom did some digging and found out that grandma is indeed gone and got someone to send proof via her gravestone. Mom was telling me about the confirmation she found this week and told me that before she suspected grandma was gone she had this dream. She was on a plane that kept ascending, never leveling out to go forward, only up. there was this bright light at the back of the plane, so she walked back there to see what it was. When she reached the back she saw grandmas blue eyes, and her face came into focus. Mom said she just smiled at her and looked so happy and peaceful, as if to say, “I’m ok, don’t worry about me anymore.” She didn’t understand at the time until she found proof that my grandma was gone, and she recalled the dream. It gave me comfort to hear that maybe she was trying to tell us she was at peace in her own way. Neither of us ever spoke many words of the other’s language but the last time I saw her, somehow we’d communicated while alone in the car for about 45 minutes. She told me about her life growing up and her family that I never knew. To this day I can’t even explain why or how the conversation happened, it was like we’d connected heart to heart or soul to soul despite the language barrier. I’ll always be grateful for that conversation.

So sorry for your loss, especially when you didn’t get proper notice about it.

The love of a grandmother transcends language and culture, and it is wonderful that you got to connect with her.
 
I can't PL too much, but the most frustrating paranormal thing I've witnessed is, swear to God, actual stairs in the woods.
I've seen some obvious solo chimneys and shattered barns and been like "Okay, a house or a farm was here once and burned down and this is all that's left," but one day while riding in the car I looked out the window and saw a little spiral staircase just sitting in the woods beside the road. It was a black metal staircase, couldn't have been more than 6 feet at most.
Nobody else in the car with me that day saw it, and I swear we passed it one other time when I thought I saw a small sign behind it for a stair-maker store a ways into the woods. Down the treeline there was like a mid-sized cabin styled storefront that, I guess, made custom staircases. That would explain the little staircase closer to the road, it was a sign to draw attention. Case closed! ...for a while.
Since then I haven't been able to find the damn location anymore. The stairs are gone, the store doesn't show up anywhere on Google Maps, and come to think of it, why didn't a store for "custom staircases" have a path or road from the main highway? Why did it look like you had to go off-roading???
I've been on that road so much since then and never seen the stairs or the stair shop. I wish I could just find the damn store online or confirm it was something truly paranormal. The uncertainty is the worst part!!!

I low key love this- it’s the sort of thing that sticks in your brain- it could be something, or nothing. And you can’t figure it out!

I'm reminded of listening along to some "creepypasta" back a decade (or more) ago which was allegedly based on someone's testimony of encountering that very same anomaly. I believe it turned into a thing for a while within that community, so I'm not sure how easy one might find a legitimate story anymore. Regardless, there's a fair chance you're not the only one to have encountered this phenomenon in various ways.

Beyond that, you could always go with the "glimpse into an alternate world/dimension" sort of idea. Like your own mini Mandela Effect moment.
 
I make this post as an act of mercy to try to warn those who are driven, by their loneliness and social isolation, down a dark path towards summoning sucubi.

The 1st thing to know is that the sucubi are 100% real extradimensional beings who feed off of your (mainly sexual) energy. I experienced them in my early-to-mid 20s because I was young, virile and in an emotionally vulnerable place.

2nd thing is that all sucubi are the same as incubi. There are no "female" versions of this demon. They are genderless. So all of you rightwing types who populate this board, who always bitch about "the trannies" or whatever? Just know you're giving up your sexual energy to an agender demontrap, no matter how passably female it looks.

Your succubus will NEVER be a woman.

3rd thing is that the creatures are vastly more intelligent and psychically apt than any human being can be. For myself, I have moderate psychic talent, but I'm completely outmatched by these beings. Not only do they know your conscious + unconscious thoughts, but they can send enough psychic energy your way to fry your brain.

It's important for you to understand that YOU CANNOT BEAT THEM IN A MATCH OF WITS. THEY WILL OUT-CHESS YOU EVERYTIME.

4th is that they are total sociopathic monsters who will ruin your life for their own purposes because they want your lifeforce for themselves. For example, they'll keep you physically sick so you can't go out and have a life.

If a girl likes you, guess what? Succubus is gonna go whisper in her ear "He will beat you ,stay away" and whatnot. The succubus will ensure you stay a lonely incel forever.

The truth is many incels have succubus attached to them unknowingly. The demon influences things to keep them as incels, so no one else gets their energy.

To them, you're cattle. Farmers don't give the cow's milk away for free.

Once summoned, they're not easily banished.

My strong advice is to stay clear, no matter how vulnerable or lonely you're feeling.

Not much but when I do remember a dream it’s not in pictures, it’s more in ideas and concepts. The visual part is super vague.

That’s very interesting. Can I ask another question? How do you reflect internally? Let’s say you had a bad day at work and you’re thinking about it - what does that look like inside your head? Or maybe a more visual one: you need to build some raised beds for your vegetable garden. How do you imagine in your head the process of design and creation? So id think about what the existing ones look like, how big they are, how many planks they have on (which is conjure a memory for) and count how many, add up what length of planking that would be, mentally drop them in by the shed on the allotment to see if they’d fit etc sorry if these are intrusive questions and you absolutely not have to answer, I’m just interested and fascinated by other peoples internal worlds

It’s ok I’m happy to respond, I find this stuff fascinating too. It’s a language and sound based internal monologue really, in my own voice and with sound effects kind of. Reflecting is hard to describe I guess, it’s like a conversation with myself but the other half is my intuition or subconscious or something like that. This is really hard to answer. I always have a song or some repeating word or sound stuck in my head though and have always been fascinated by sound and music ever since I was a kid. I make music as a hobby as a form of cope probably haha. Funnily enough I work in a visually creative field and can’t really plan my designs in my head. I have an intuitive sense of good design after all these years but have to “play around” and test things out before I can see it and validate that it’s right, either on paper or digitally. If I was to do something like your garden bed example I would measure and draw it so I can see it then iterate until I’m happy it. I do have some vague images in my head but they’re very basic level. People like Nikola Tesla fascinate me and creep me out at the same time with how he was able to design complex machinery in his own head before building anything.

If the "paranormal" is indeed real, then how come there are so many unclaimed prizes for proving such -- like the former JREF "One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge"?
