In Between the Eclipses: More Blog Updates, Plans, and What's Next

UPDATE: 9/15/2025 – I have the next part of a Daisy Chain of Events half-written in my drafts. I will be finishing and sharing that tomorrow. I spent most of the weekend managing a fever and multi-system flare-up. As of today, the fever is now gone, and I am feeling a resurgence of vitality. So, you can expect the next in the series tomorrow!

I feel like I am my most fragile right now (age 38), physically. I am extremely frail, and I compare this to how vulnerable I felt when: I was sick with the tumor (age 25), immediately following my bowel resection (age 28), and when I experienced intestinal failure (age 31). I have been struggling so much with my health ever since I underwent surgical menopause back in early May of this year. I want to start creating future posts about these health events, diving deeper into my backstory (it's wild). But, for now, I will only make brief mention of it here.

I am still planning on finishing the Daisy Chain series in upcoming posts. My goal is to get the next part out in the next couple of days. Instead of doubling down and pumping them out like I had intended to (since we are back in eclipse season), I decided to hit 'pause'. (Not that I had much of a choice. My life has been on the busier side lately, and when I haven't been busy, I have been trying to recover from this, that, or the other.) Sifting through all of those messages put me right back into the mental and emotional space I was in when I was going through it. However, I feel like making these series of blog posts was totally the right call. While I remain vigilant to the fact that he might still be covertly monitoring me, all contact has ceased. I haven't received any direct messages from him since that message he sent on July 24th.

I've spent the last few days recovering spoons and getting back into the groove of things. Unsurprisingly, there has been a lot of patterns overlapping between the last set of eclipses and what's unfolding now. There are some things I won't discuss here, as they involve aspects of my love and social life that I am not comfortable writing about publicly. But it's worth mentioning, because the parallels are uncanny. And because the parallels are uncanny, it has me a little hesitant about what's unfolding now. The same themes often represent the same things; the same things often represent the same themes. (Not always, but most of the time.) And I don't want history to repeat itself. One thing's for sure: No rose-colored glasses here.

That said, I do have a lot of interesting synchronicities to chronicle (but only once I get caught up to speed with the Daisy Chain posts, because these syncs tie directly into those events). This also allows for what's currently playing out to further develop and run whatever course it's going to.

Some of the stories people spin about their haunted artifacts are laughable—confined to the edges of their own imagination, rather than the true occult forces at work.

Also, keep an eye out for content involving the haunted artifact collection I just started. I'm thrilled about this project and how it may expand my perception of the paranormal. I recently acquired my first haunted object—a doll that arrived the day after the Pisces Lunar Eclipse. She doesn't have a documented name, so for now I'm calling her the Shadow Moon Doll. I haven't yet sat down to formally investigate her, but the synchronicities around her arrival were eerie. More on that soon.

Sneak peek/peak of the Shadow Moon doll (my cat is so curious about this object):

Part 1a: A Daisy Chain of Events

Note: I am aware that there are still some broken links and embeds throughout some of the older blog posts. I will soon be reviewing and correcting them all. This is due to the fact that I have, for the moment, toggled my TikTok and Instagram profiles back to private/follow request only. I will probably back up this content on Rumble and use that to host video embeds from now on, even if I do opt to go public with those accounts again. 

Okay, before moving on to the next part, I decided to do a quick follow-up post—an addendum for Part One if you will. This is to better explain the timeline, how it all connects, and why I reference certain series of events in the past. Upon rereading the original post, I realized that some of the points I am making or am trying to reference might not be so obvious to the reader.

Let's take it piece-by-piece:

On February 5th, 2025, I learned that the neighbor living across the hallway from my current residence had passed away. The whole thing was eerie. In the post I made on Bluesky, I mentioned that I could confirm that she was still alive on January 16th, 2025. Why did I add this detail? Another resident in my building (who has also since passed away in the last couple of months) wheeled himself into her apartment without knocking (January 16th). I was monitoring the situation after I heard her hollering at him that he was in the wrong apartment. I opened up my door and waited outside of her apartment, listening in to the argument that they were having. She was able to talk some sense into him, and he eventually left. Out of respect for her privacy (she preferred to be left alone), and since the situation seemed to resolve itself, I didn't knock or check in with her. Hindsight, though? I wish I would have.

Attached to that Bluesky post was a screenshot from my old X account. I was documenting a blatant recurrence. Prior to moving into the building I am currently living in (I moved in on November 1st, 2023), I was living in another tower in a different city. But many of the same patterns of events were repeating themselves. Leading up to the events that took place in August of 2023 (which will be addressed soon—and it was precisely that chain of events that caused me to move out of that building and into the building I am living in now), a similar set of events had transpired.

On June 30th, 2023, I found out that the neighbor who had lived across the hallway from me at my former residence had lost a close family member of his. His (adult) nephew was found deceased in the courtyard. On October 27th, 2023, while I was in the process of transferring to a different building and city, I had discovered that that neighbor had also passed away. Mere weeks after a traumatic chain of events had been initiated (again: August 15-16th, 2023). I'll never publicly detail everything that happened, but it was devastating. Thanks to a cockroach invasion that also took place that month (August 2023), I was easily able to get out of my lease.

On February 19th, 2025, I share a post where I am clairvoyantly noting a repetition of patterns playing out in my sphere of awareness that resemble the events that took place in August of 2023. The post contains a GIF of a man standing at an intersection (Hermes-Hecate coded). Why include this imagery? Because it was a crash that took place at an intersection right outside of my building on August 15th, 2023, that seemed to set the wild chain of events into motion. Or, at the very least, was a herald or a portent for the events to come.

On February 21st, 2025, I clairvoyantly received the message of incoming technological glitches. An incoming "glitch warp." So, what is a glitch warp? In the past, I used to refer to these as "time warps" or being in the "temporal/time vortex." A glitch warp typically involves a cluster of glitches and time jumps/alterations that take place in rapid succession or "all at once." (Uranian "Wild Cards.") Spacetime coherence seems to flicker, so clocks jump forward or backward, phone batteries drain or refill instantly, nearby electronics misfire in synchrony, and alarms start sounding (fire alarms, car alarms, clocks, phone alarms, etc).
Peep the date:

On February 22nd, 2025, I was woken up at 3-something in the morning by the fire alarms going off. ("Rise and Shine.") A dangerous fire took place on the floor directly above me. Fortunately, it occurred on the other end of the building. Unfortunately, the person who accidentally caused the fire lost their home and suffered some injuries to their lungs. One or two of the apartments directly under them flooded to prevent the spread of the fire. It also appears as though the people who were living in the apartment that had the most damage caused by the sprinkler system ended up moving out as well.

Later that day (February 22nd), I repost that aforementioned post from February 5th and attach screenshots from the incidents that took place in August 2023:

A similar set of events took place around October 30th, 2024:

The neighbor who had died in February 2025 was the same neighbor who had been screaming in horror over her dead cat only a few months earlier. (Schrödinger's Cat motif.) Much like my neighbor in the previous building, as if to foreshadow their own impending demise, this neighbor also lost a close family member. Neighbor 1 lost his nephew at Tower 1 (body found in courtyard). Neighbor 2 lost her beloved cat in Tower 2 (overheard her screaming about her dead cat). A crash took place outside of Tower 1 (August 15th, 2023), involving two cars, which heralded a strange cluster of happenstances (neighbor 1 would die about two months later). A crash also took place outside of Tower 2 (March 3rd, 2025), also involving two cars, and also heralded another strange-familiar cluster of happenstances (neighbor 2 would die about one month earlier).

On February 24th, 2025, I post about the smoke that I can smell coming from my neighbor's apartment. They scorched something pretty good while they were cooking. On March 3rd, 2025, I make a post about a PHANTOM CAT (Schrödinger's Cat motif) hopping up on the bed with me as I was getting ready to go to bed. I don't allow my cat in my bedroom at night, because she is both clumsy and too aggressive at night. I wrote, "... it suddenly feels like my cat jumps up onto the bed with me. I turn to look, and there is nothing there."

On March 3rd, 2025, the car crash kicked off the events of that day. It started with a car crash and ended with multiple cars racing (loudly) through the nearby streets later on that night.

WHAT A CRAZY DAY!!! Still from the video I took (which I won't share for privacy reasons) this morning...: bsky.app/profile/herm...

As the day (March 3rd) went on, I began experiencing glitches. high strangeness, and object displacement ("change, rearrange"). My phone teleported from my lap and was found on the bathroom floor. I sent a message to my friends (the "Wyrd Seastars") about it, and one friend reported the flashlight of their phone turning on. This is something that happens between the three of us a lot. If one of us reports something (high strangeness/glitches), it starts happening to all of us. Actually, we typically discover that it was happening to the others simultaneously before any of us reaches out to each other to report it. It gives me goosebumps every time. Now that I'm writing about it, it's probably going to start happening again soon. I'll have to check in with my Wyrd Seastars soon.

At 9:36pm (still March 3rd), I report on Bluesky that the fire department is over at my neighbor's apartment (not the neighbor who had passed away). There was a strange beeping out in the hallway that did not resemble the usual fire alarm, and there was an odd chemical smell in the air. Shortly after, I make a post at 9:55pm that all of my electronics are glitching out. I go on to document some of those glitches. While this is happening, I start feeling a seizure coming on and have deja vu. Seizures, brain sensations, and deja vu coinciding with tech glitches and high strangeness are historically common for me.

On March 10th, 2025, my Mom grapples again with congestive heart failure. These events tend to happen during eclipse season. Again, something I have documented thoroughly over the years. Earlier that day, I went in for a pelvic ultrasound and found out that the ovary I had had surgery on exactly one year earlier, was being overtaken once more by a cluster of ovarian cysts. I had PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), and I say this in past tense because I have since had my remaining ovary removed. But I won't go into that until the next part. However, I knew that the results of this ultrasound would soon mean that that ovary would have to go bye-bye.

On March 11th I would go in for my autism evaluation (I get the results for my autism and ADHD evaluations this upcoming Tuesday). Later that afternoon, I began taking notes for the upcoming blog post: Part 3 of the Observer Effect. It's worth mentioning because I sense a causal relationship between the nature of these posts, the notes I was channeling, and the bizarre events that were unfolding.

On March 13th, 2025, exactly one decade after my bowel perforation and NDE, I had an EGD (esophagogastroduodenoscopy) which shed some much-needed insight into how and why my bowel perforated exactly one decade (to the day) earlier. Answers to questions that were ten years in the making. I won't go into those details in these posts, but I will eventually dive deeper into my health conditions in future posts. 

The next day (March 14th), an old parasocial connection resurfaced. Someone who I had originally connected with on X (formerly Twitter) back in mid-2020. His reappearance at this time was particularly significant, because I had to block him almost exactly one year earlier. This connects with the ultrasound results from March 10th. I knew I'd be having surgery on that ovary again soon, just as I had exactly one year prior (March 26th, 2024). I'll dive deeper into this as well in the next part.

On March 17th, 2025, I started noticing that I was getting an unusual amount of friend requests on Snapchat. I remember thinking this was odd, because I hardly ever used Snapchat (same with Facebook). On March 19th, during the lunar eclipse, a blizzard took out power in my home city. Fortunately, my cat and I were staying at my then-partner's house for a couple of nights. We were able to avoid the blackout that left everyone in my building without power for over three days. Three Days of Night.

Okay, so hopefully that explains the timeline of events and their significance a little bit better. The full scope of things will become even clearer in the next part. Many of these themes will come full circle, so just...wait for it..

Personal: Echoes of Light

 

My father's obituary

January 25th, 2025

• I was having a conversation with my sister over Messenger. During the conversation, she sent me something that reminded me of a deeply emotional memory from when my ex-boyfriend's daughter, Kira (age 7), passed away.
• Before Kira experienced brain death (on December 10th, 2016), her father and I had been prepared for the moment it would happen. We were told what to expect and what to watch out for. So, when her vitals tanked, we knew that she was experiencing brain death. In that moment, we both saw an orb of light exit her nose and float away, as though her soul were leaving her body. This occurred at the exact moment of her brain death, when her vitals tanked.
• After telling my sister about this incident, and while reflecting on Kira's passing, I had an unexpected vision of my father's death. My dad passed away on March 19th, 2010. He was 54 years of age, and I was 23 years of age. I, along with my sisters, my mother, and two of my nieces, were at his side when he died. I was sitting next to him when it happened, my hand on his shoulder. I had been carefully watching his breathing, because it had slowed and had become erratic. After a while, I noticed that he had stopped breathing, and I informed my mom that he was no longer breathing.
• Shortly after he had stopped breathing, one of my niece's (1 year old) began freaking out and crying inconsolably. She had been looking up toward the ceiling (up, over my head), near the corner of the living room next to the hallway that led to the bathroom. It's as if she could sense that something was in the room with us. I had to take her into my parent's bedroom to calm her down while arrangements were made.
• The vision I had was spontaneous and I've never quite had a vision like this one before. As such, I questioned it. I had intended to document the experience on my Bluesky, but didn't feel comfortable doing so. Due to the sensitive and questionable nature of the vision, I was reticent to put it out there to be exposed to criticism or ridicule. But I did compose a post. Instead of sharing it, I cut and pasted it into a note on my phone's notepad with the idea that I might eventually share it here.
• The vision I had was from his perspective at the moment of his death. He was formless, just like my many out-of-body experiences. I, as my father, found myself immediately detached from my/his body. I was floating up over his daughter's (my 23-year-old self) head, hovering near the same area that my niece had been looking at. He was completely emotionally removed from the dramatic scene before him. He was calm, just observing his death play out. That was it. That was the vision.

January 26th, 2025

• Last night, at 7:11pm CST, I received a message from my sister. She told me that she just gotten home from our mom's house. She said, "So we are sitting in the living room, chatting it up, and I see a light out of my peripherals shoot by in the hallway. Kinda in the bedroom. I told mom that my "eyes are messing with me," and she asks me, "You saw that too?" Oh, I got the goosebumps. I go in there and look in her room, then shut the door. Like one minute later, I turn around and the door is back open. We were freaked, lol."
• At 7:12pm, I respond, asking, "Like an orb or a flash?" I asked this because our last exchange had been about my ex-partner and I seeing that orb of light exit Kira's nose. I knew that if she told me that it was an orb of light, that it was directly related to the vision I'd had the night before of my father leaving his body.
• At 7:14pm, she responded, "Orb, but I don't know. Later I thought I saw a bug flying around the light, but mom said there hasn't been any bugs in the house and I never saw it again after that. It was quick like the orb. Mom said orb too. She said she sees it all the time, but that she thought it was her bad eyesight."
• I responded at 7:25pm with, "I think THAT was Dad." My mom and sister often equate nearly all of their paranormal experiences with it being related to my father's presence. But that's not something I usually agree with. So, for me to admit that it might be him this time, is not my typical response. (Wow! It's 8:17am on January 27th, 2025, and I am currently having deja vu as I am typing this out.)
• She then messaged me back around 7:27pm with, "[Nephew's name] kept looking and pointing in there. He went and opened the bedroom door, got scared and came running back in. Yeah, I think so too. I felt bad leaving mom, lol. She was spooked herself. She shut the door, shut the curtain she has hung in the hallway, and shut the light off."
• This orb sighting was in the same area I had seen in my vision the night before, near the hallway entrance that leads to the bedroom, aligning eerily with the memory of his passing. I felt like this was a confirmation of that vision that I had had.
• My sister also mentioned that her youngest child, my nephew, who is also now just one year old—the same age as my niece at the time of my dad's passing—had been pointing at the hallway and looking toward the same area. He opened the bedroom door, seemed startled, and quickly ran back, as though he had sensed or had witnessed something unusual. This mirrored my niece's behavior during my father's death. I even took her into my parent's bedroom (the same bedroom they said they saw the orb fly toward last night) to console her.
• I hesitated to share my vision with my sister when she was detailing this incident to me. Historically, my family has always dismissed or downplayed my experiences, which has taught me a lot about "knowing your audience." Unfortunately, it has also resulted in me having to work through a lot of self-doubt and second-guessing in my later years. It's partly why I am so diligent in chronicling and documenting my experiences. Not just to convince others, but to remind myself of their validity. One can easily argue and dismiss word of mouth testimonials, but it's a little more difficult to disregard timestamped evidence. (That being said, no amount of proof will convince those who're determined not to believe. There is no point in wasting effort on those individuals. And that's perfectly okay. We're only open to what we're ready for.) The following clip is one such example:

• Shortly after my text exchange with my sister, I noticed a faint ectoplasmic mist in my left peripheral vision.
• When I went to go find the clip you see above, which I have unlisted on a backup YouTube account, I noted a synchronicity:

Notice the caption: "A Stitch in Time."

• During a group text exchange on January 21st, 2025, I noted a synchronicity in regard to something that was shared by another member of the group (which I won't share the context of that synchronicity here, as to respect the privacy of the other individuals involved). Here is a screenshot of my texts:

• The blog post I am referring to can be found here. I shared a series of screenshots from an old Twitter archive. Here are the screenshots I shared in the group chat:

• I have reuploaded the full clip (with a minor edit/omission for privacy reasons) from that Halloween podcast (The Spiral) to Rumble, for additional context:

Disappearing Evidence

• I had considered sharing my vision with my sister. But I wasn't going to share it with her without some proof. Remembering that I had made a timestamped note in my phone's notepad, I went to look for it. Adding to the strange events, it was completely gone. 
• Similarly, I went to look up an old blog post (in a private blog) where I recount the events mentioned in The Spiral video. During a séance with three friends, a friend and I witnessed a spiraling vortex suddenly appear behind the friend (Renee) we see giving a testimonial in the video above. The other friend and I collectively gasped and screamed when we saw it suddenly manifest. By the time Renee had turned around, it was gone. The friend who had witnessed it with me was so upset by it, that she gathered up her things and left. Below is an excerpt from a blog post from April 23rd, 2012, where this incident is referenced:

"Okay... so my friend and I had a particularly strange experience yesterday and it got me to realize that these paranormal experiences seem to ramp up whenever I have company... As if, whatever it is, wants to show off/get the attention to/of my friends. I may have mentioned to a few of you the spiral in my kitchen that several of us witnessed, finding/seeing random doors open, etc. And most of these 'disturbances' happened when I had friends over."

• Just like the disappearing note I had thought about sharing with my sister, whatever blog entries I may have made about the spiral incident no longer exist. I've even checked both of my Twitter archives for mentions of this event and couldn't find anything. I know that I have shared a written statement about this before, but apparently, all such records are all gone. (Change, Rearrange.)
• In the future, I will share that full blog post. But it will be its own topic of discussion altogether. The title of that entry is "Everybody Wants to be a Cat." I had intended to include the following movie poster in Part 3 of The Observer Effect, but feel like it's appropriate here too:

"A cat has nine lives. Three for playing, three for straying, and three for staying."

Update:
(at 9:44am on January 27th, 2025)

I completely forgot to mention a few disturbing things that happened before I went to sleep last night! I did make a post on Bluesky about this and will embed that below. I began having sinister visions, not the usual kind. They felt like hallucinations from a bad acid trip (Choronzon). But there was a full-bodied apparition that preceded these visions. Similar to what I've been posting about in recent entries (The Observer Effect), I saw my doppelganger. It was a foot shorter than I am, but it resembled me. It was standing in front of my computer chair, at my desk. It looked like a necromantic version of myself.

 It reminded me of Samara in the movie The Ring. I don't normally get scared from visions or apparitions, but this deeply disturbed me. It reminded me of an experience I'd had with the infamous Hat Man (yet another topic of discussion for another time), an entity entirely distinct from the shadow people I've talked about elsewhere. If you're unfamiliar with this entity, just do a quick search for The Hat Man. There are countless historical reports of this Mothman-like being, and they are all extremely similar. Anyway, I'd had one confirmed encounter with the Hat Man when I was around 7 or 8 years of age. I've never forgotten it, and I've always prayed that I would never have the experience again.

Even though I didn't end up seeing this figure in my doorway or in a corner of my bedroom, I was worried I was going to. Because the doppelganger reminded me of the severed head (my head) that the Hat Man had conjured at my bedside when I was a little girl (while it was standing in the doorway). After I saw this doppelganger last night, I began receiving demented visuals (clairvoyance). Like I said, it reminded me of a bad acid trip. I kept seeing creepy characters with morphing faces, and I had the same sense of dread that I'd had when the Hat Man (who is briefly referenced in The Spiral video shared above) appeared in my door entryway nearly 30 years ago.

Some pretty terrifying visions tonight. Super demented. Disturbing. Not grotesque, but very sinister. I don't get visions like these very often. Don't like it. And I'm not going to describe them. There was an apparition at my computer desk too. But I can't even think about it, or I won't sleep.

Part One: The Observer Effect

Constellation (Apple TV)

Dark Matter

Matter and Anti-Matter

You find yourself in liminal space, the no-place between what was and what will be. You have come to a crossroads, the threshold between worlds. A space where the ordinary, the known, dissolves into the extraordinary, the unknown. This is a realm of all-possibility.

A choice point has been reached. It is both a call to action and a call to surrender. Regardless of which path you choose, transformation is inevitable. Trust in the underlying currents tugging forward, those little nudges from your intuition as they silently guide you.

Along this cusp of non-being, one should expect to encounter figures who embody the archetype of the trickster, serving as teachers in disguise. These are not external mentors but projections and embodiments of the Self's shadow—those hidden, suppressed, or repressed fragments that remain unexamined or rejected.

The trickster-teacher's lessons are unsettling yet invaluable, compelling the individual to confront the depths of their psyche. These lessons serve not only to answer your burning questions, but also to help you to discover the deeper questions you haven't yet thought to ask.

This crossroads is not merely a place of choice but a crucible for alchemical change. To engage with these shadows is to integrate the disowned aspects of the Self, a process necessary for reaching authenticity and spiritual growth. The traveler on this path discovers that what was once feared or dismissed holds the key to wholeness.

Choronzon, often called the "Dweller in the Abyss," is a perfect example of a trickster-teacher you might face on your spiritual journey. He's not just there to mess with you—though it can feel like that—but to challenge you by throwing illusions and distractions your way. What 'he's' really doing is holding up a mirror to your own fears, doubts, and fragmented sense of self. If you face and engage him, you're pushed to face your inner chaos and break through the limits of your ego. Ultimately, his seemingly insidious brand of 'tough love' forces you to level up spiritually.

In your everyday life, these trickster figures manifest not as fantastical beings but through the circumstances, challenges, and people you encounter—especially during times of upheaval (The Tower tarot card comes to mind) or uncertainty. A health crisis might force you to confront your vulnerability, unresolved fears, or neglected self-care, becoming a wake-up call to realign your life. Being deceived by others or experiencing betrayal might shatter illusions of trust or control, compelling you to examine your boundaries and discernment. Relationships ending, or even the loss of a loved one, can catalyze profound growth by forcing you to reconcile with impermanence and explore what truly matters.

"The soul needs an outer drama that can help awaken and pull into conscious awareness the inner myth and seeded story it carries within."

These experiences act as externalized projections of the inner myth you carry—the story seeded deep within your soul that longs to be brought into conscious awareness. As the quote suggests, "The soul needs an outer drama that can help awaken and pull into conscious awareness the inner myth and seeded story it carries within." The events that unfold in your life serve as this outer drama, a symbolic theater designed to awaken you to deeper truths about yourself.

In these moments, you are between the past and the future. The people around you may seem to 👂 "come out of the woodwork" to deceive, challenge, or provoke you—not because they are inherently adversarial, but because they embody aspects of your shadow self (projection) that you've yet to acknowledge. Their behaviors reflect unintegrated aspects of your inner world, inviting you to explore your unconscious patterns and unearth the hidden wisdom they contain.

"Maybe the North Star doesn't indicate north. Maybe the mapmaker was drunk. Maybe the moon's made out of cheese. Who knows?! Who knows? Everything is so fucked up on this goddamn road!" - Dead End movie (2003)

The Underworld (implicate/subconsciousness and super-implicate/super-consciousness orders) represents a zone where established constructs (maps) break down. This dissolution reflects the experience of encountering paradoxes, illusions, and "negative existence" where conventional logic fails. This chaos is necessary for transformation, compelling the soul to rely on inner guidance rather than external reference points. Both peril (PiT) and illumination (TiP, garden) are found in these depths (which are also heights).

If Yesod is the Door, Daath is the Key

Janus, the Roman God of Transitions—often associated with Chokmah (Wisdom) and Daath (Knowledge)

The deformed little guys underneath Janus remind me of Kuato (a conjoined TWIN, like Janus) from Total Recall.

Kuato and George, Total Recall

Janus, often depicted with two faces looking in opposite directions, reflects Daath’s dual function as both a gateway and a veil. Daath occupies the threshold between the Supernal Triad and the lower Sephiroth, connecting the divine and the manifest realms. Its dual aspect embodies both creation and dissolution, beginnings and endings. This aligns with Janus' role as the guardian of thresholds.

Daath symbolizes the knowledge or "key" required to traverse the Abyss, representing an initiatory transition (crossroads) from ignorance to enlightenment, or from fragmented perception to holistic awareness. Daath, meaning "knowledge," is not academic (lifeless) intellectual understanding but, rather, the experiential awareness that opens the path to higher consciousness. Janus, as the god of thresholds, embodies the act of stepping into a new state of being, requiring the wisdom (or key) to unlock the door.

The Particle (Persephone/Kore) and The Wave (Pluto/Hades)

Janus symbolizes the interplay between Persephone (Kore) as the Particle and Pluto (Hades) as the Wave. One face of Janus represents Persephone, the embodiment of form, matter, and life cycles, aligning with the Qabalistic sphere of Malkuth (Kingdom), where the material world takes shape. The other face reflects Pluto, the archetype of chaos, transformation, and dissolution, associated with Daath (Knowledge), the mysterious gateway bridging unity (singularity) and duality (polarity).

Positioned on the Abyss, Daath represents a space where opposites converge, requiring the seeker to reconcile unity and multiplicity, form and void.

True Detective, S1E8 "Form and Void"

Yesod, as the Foundation, mirrors Daath but functions on a different plane. While Daath serves as the gateway to higher realms of divine unity, Yesod operates as the threshold to the astral plane and the physical world. It consolidates and channels energies from the higher Sephiroth, shaping them into forms accessible in Malkuth. This intermediary role parallels the function of a doorway, both separating and connecting realms. Doorways (like the crossroads) symbolize choices and transitions, and Yesod serves as the space where archetypal energies are organized and projected into the material plane.

The Lovers - also known as "The Choice"

The Lovers card encapsulates the profound moment of choice, a pivotal crossroads where one must discern the path to follow. Rooted in the energy of Zayin, "the sword," this choice is sharp and decisive, cutting through illusion to reveal truth. It reflects Gemini's duality, symbolizing both the discernment necessary to separate (Cancer) opposites and the alchemical conjunction that unifies them into a harmonious whole. This card calls one to reconcile the dichotomies within—the conscious and subconscious, masculine and feminine, inner and outer. (Alchemical fixation.) Just as a sword divides, it also symbolizes the precision and clarity needed to choose wisely, emphasizing that through discernment, unity and higher integration become possible​​.

Yesod's correspondence to the astral plane reinforces its role as a liminal space. Here, dreams, symbols, and archetypal forms interact with the waking world. This reflects the deeper duality inherent in transitions, where the unseen and seen are bridged. Like Janus' forward and backward gaze, Yesod embodies the reflective nature of thresholds, managing the interface where potential becomes actual.

Yesod can be understood through its many symbolic attributes, which include mirrors, perception, secret doors, hidden passages, tunnels, psychism, the interface between dimensions, the assemblage point, imagination, image and appearance, the unconscious, dreams, illusions, sex and reproduction, magic, and instinct. 

Dark Matter

The Qlippoth

The Qlippoth are the "husks" or "shells," representing the shadow side of creation (or Universe B). They mirror the sephiroth but invert their divine energies, embodying chaos, disintegration, and the raw power of unrefined matter. In exploring the Underworld, one must confront the Qlippothic energies—fragmented aspects of the self that hold keys to transformation when engaged with intention and awareness. The Qlippoth represent the shattered forms that must be reintegrated to move toward wholeness​​.

Shortly after publishing this post, while I was doing some cleaning, some synchronistic messages began to come through while YouTube was autoplaying various YouTube videos based on/from my subscriptions. Currently, the energetic themes that I am seeing recycling through are reminiscent of patterns noticed around July 17th, 2024, mid-to-late August of 2024, and end of October-mid December of 2024. I emphasize the October-December energy, because that's when the whole The Tower and crossroads themes really and truly began to take the stage for the latter half of the year.

The Tower...WILL fall. Backtrack🚆 all you want, but the flames of transformation are rekindling. This karmic cycle needs to come to a close, and you're at a crossroads. Drop the baggage and carry-on ✈️, move along.

Update #2:

12:12PM CST on 1/16/2025

Shortly after publishing the first update, as I was reviewing the article on my laptop, I noticed a glitch. 

Video: Who We've Been, All Along

 

Psychic experiences can be quite ambiguous, confusing, and can stir up intense emotional responses (which can also trigger episodes of spiritual psychosis, particularly when not rightly understood, incorrectly translated, or when taken at face value)—both from those who experience them and those who encounter their effects. In my latest TikTok video, I shared an excerpt of a conversation from nearly a decade ago that I had with an online acquaintance referred to as the "Internet Stranger," whom I barely knew. This interaction, which I hadn't revisited in some time, highlighted the unintentional and sometimes startling ways psychic connections can manifest. Today, I want to expand on that video by providing additional context and reflecting on the complexity of this experience.

Background Context

In 2016, I was contacted out of the blue by a virtual acquaintance, someone I had connected with on Twitter. He accused me of causing unexplained phenomena in his home—creaking and banging noises on his ceiling—even affecting his psyche in ways he described as invasive. At the time, I was navigating my own journey of psychic discovery. I knew I had a heightened ability to tap into the collective unconscious and connect with the psyches of others, but I didn't yet fully understand the extent of this ability or its unintended consequences.

His accusations were unsettling. While I had no conscious intent to connect with him or affect his environment, his claims were specific and very clearly emotionally charged. This conversation has stayed with me for years, leaving me questioning how much influence I truly had and how my abilities might unintentionally impact others.

A Decade of Reflection

It really wasn't until recently, when I came across a series of surprising synchronicities, that I found validation for what this Internet Stranger had described. This new information confirmed that my unintentional connection to him and the strange occurrences he experienced could indeed have been a result of my abilities. Revisiting this conversation after nearly a decade has been a humbling reminder of the power and complexity of psychic phenomena—and the ethical questions that come with it.

Why I'm Sharing This Now

Sharing personal experiences, especially ones as charged as this, can be daunting. I've wrestled with the fear of being judged, misunderstood, or labeled negatively. However, especially in light of the popular release of the Telepathy Tapes, I believe that bringing these stories into the open is important—not just for my own growth but to encourage broader conversations about psychic abilities, perception, and the unseen ways in which we connect with each other and the seemingly separate environments around us.

By sharing this, I'm not looking to villainize this man (or myself, for that matter) or dismiss his feelings. In fact, his candid reaction helped me to see (and embrace) the grey area of psychic connection—where actions can have effects far beyond what we consciously intend. My goal is transparency, even if it means exploring uncomfortable truths.

The Grey Area of Psychic Connection

The Life Power is inherently neutral, neither good nor evil, a truth evident in the natural world and its subhuman kingdoms. Like fire, which can warm or destroy, this primal energy is shaped solely by the choices guiding it. For example, the wands of Harry Potter and Voldemort—crafted from the same core—channel identical magical energy, yet Harry's serves as a force for protection while Voldemort's brings destruction. This neutrality highlights that the power itself is neither benevolent nor malevolent; its impact depends entirely on how it is directed. However, when applied to psychic phenomena, this concept becomes far more complex and nuanced. Psychic connections, unlike conscious physical actions, can occur spontaneously (subconsciously) and without conscious intent, raising important ethical questions about boundaries and responsibility.  It also raises profound questions about free will, who or what is truly in control, and what the cosmic hierarchy governing such interactions might look like.

• Intent vs. Impact: While I had no intent to connect with this person, the impact on him was real and undeniable.
• Ethics of Connection: How do we navigate connections that happen outside of our control? Is it possible to set boundaries for psychic abilities, or do they operate independently of our intentions?
• Transparency and Growth: Sharing these stories allows us to explore these questions together and reflect on how to approach psychic phenomena responsibly.

The complexity of psychic phenomena deepens when we consider intention, as effects often arise without conscious effort. This blurs the lines of agency, suggesting individuals might not be sole creators but participants in a broader web of interconnected forces. In these cases, one's subconscious mind (implicate order) or energetic state may act as a bridge (super-consciousness, super implicate order), influencing outcomes (explicate order) beyond deliberate control. This interplay complicates traditional ideas of responsibility and free will, suggesting that while an individual's energy contributes to phenomena, universal forces (the One Self) ultimately shape the final outcome. This dynamic raises questions about the balance between personal influence and broader cosmic systems, including the possibility of a higher hierarchy guiding the flow of Life Power. If magickal outcomes and psychic effects transcend conscious intention, it challenges us to reconsider who or what ultimately steers (the Unmoved Mover) these manifestations and the structure of the unseen systems in which we participate.

Blipping in, Blipping out

"Since we are constantly flashing 'in-and-out-of existences', the conscious mind constantly seeks reassure of the CONTINUANCE of reality through RITUAL. Literally, we - and everything that we perceive - are being re-created or 're-born' in each instant." - Psyche as Interaction: Electromagnetic Patterns of Conscious Energy by Manya J. Long 

Psyche as Interaction by Manya J. Long

The holographic model suggests that the universe, at its most fundamental level, operates not as a collection of discrete, independent objects but as a vast interconnected network of relationships and patterns. This framework allows for an understanding of the immense capacity of both the brain and the universe to store and organize information. The example of holography demonstrates how vast quantities of information can be encoded within a small, seemingly finite space. Similarly, human memory and consciousness appear to operate by encoding and retrieving information in a manner that reflects this holographic principle, seamlessly integrating and reinterpreting fragments into coherent wholes.

This model is rooted in the work of David Bohm and Karl Pribram, who independently observed that the universe and brain, respectively, exhibit properties similar to holography. Bohm's insights from quantum physics revealed a reality composed of interdependent waveforms, implying that our perception of separateness is an illusion. Pribram's research in neurophysiology demonstrated that the brain processes information in a distributed, wave-like manner, suggesting memories and perceptions are not localized but are encoded holistically, as in a holographic plate.

Bohm's notion of the "holomovement" further extends this idea by framing the universe as a dynamic and indivisible process. Unlike traditional deterministic systems that follow predictable trajectories, the holomovement represents an unending flux of interconnected patterns and processes. This dynamic quality means that even seemingly isolated phenomena are part of a larger, flowing reality. This perspective challenges traditional scientific notions of cause and effect, which often assume linear relationships between events. Instead, Bohm argues for an understanding of causality that embraces the infinite interconnectedness of all phenomena, where each event is both a cause and an effect within an ever-changing system.

The discussion (still referring to the concepts brought forth in pages 156-161 by Manya J. Long's Psyche as Interaction) then turns to how perception operates within this dynamic framework. The human visual system, for example, is not merely a passive receiver of external stimuli but an active participant in constructing the reality we experience. The process by which images are formed on the retina and subsequently interpreted by the brain is a complex interplay of discrete, quantized events. Light waves striking the retina are translated into neural signals, which are then processed by the brain into coherent visual experiences. However, this process involves a series of unconscious intervals where the brain essentially "fills in the gaps" to create a continuous sense of reality. These intervals are so brief—fractions of a second—that we are typically unaware of them. Yet they are essential for constructing the seamless, dynamic flow of our conscious perception.

An intriguing aspect of this process is the role of periodicity and oscillation in perception. The texts describe how the human brain operates within specific frequency ranges, bridging moments of consciousness and unconsciousness to maintain a stable experience of reality. This rhythm underpins not only perception but also fundamental structures such as DNA, music, and language. The periodic nature of these processes ensures continuity and stability, enabling the brain to build up and sustain coherent images and thoughts from fleeting sensory inputs.

The author's anecdote provides a vivid example of what happens when this process is disrupted—reminding me of an experience I had on October 31st, 2016, which I will describe a little later on. She recounts walking along an outdoor breezeway when, for a brief moment, her familiar surroundings—brick walls and a concrete sidewalk—seemed to vanish. In their place, she perceived an indistinct, geometrical void. This unsettling experience, though brief, revealed the underlying mechanics of her perception. During the interval of 0.8 to 1.2 seconds when her brain was constructing an image of her surroundings, she momentarily became aware of the process itself. Instead of experiencing the final, polished "movie" of reality her brain typically presents, she glimpsed the raw, unformed data being assembled. This realization showcases how perception is not an automatic or passive phenomenon but a dynamic construction requiring precise timing and synchronization.

Bohm's ideas on the implicate and explicate orders also come into play here. The implicate order refers to the deeper, unobservable patterns that underlie reality, while the explicate order represents the tangible, structured reality we experience. The author's experience with the sidewalk can be seen as a momentary lapse where her brain's usual process of unfolding the implicate order into the explicate broke down. For a brief moment, she was exposed to the formless potentiality from which her conscious perception typically emerges. This aligns with Bohm's view that reality is not a fixed, static entity but a continuous interplay of unfolding and enfolding patterns.

The brain acts as both a receiver and interpreter of the dynamic patterns that constitute reality, constantly constructing and reconstructing the world we experience. This process, though largely unconscious, occasionally reveals itself in moments of disruption, offering glimpses into the intricate mechanics of our perception and its relationship to the larger cosmos.

"You have heard the expression before, I am sure, that the environment expresses a particular individual's personality. I am telling you that this is a literal and not symbolic truth. The letters upon the page have the reality only of ink and paper. The information they convey is invisible. As an object, this book itself is only paper and ink. It is a carrier of information.

You may perhaps argue that the book was manufactured physically, and did not suddenly erupt through Ruburt's skull, already printed and bound. You in turn had to borrow or purchase the book, so you may think, 'Surely, I did not create the book, as I created my words.' But before we are finished, we will see that basically speaking, each of you create the book you hold in your hands, and that your entire physical environment comes as naturally out of your inner mind as words come out of your mouths, and that man forms physical objects as unselfconsciously and as automatically as he forms his own breath." - Seth via Jane Roberts

On October 31st, 2016, I was reading New Dimensions for the Cube of Space: The Path of Initiation Revealed by the Tarot upon the Qabalistic Cube by David Allen Hulse. I had already read the chapter and was going back over a specific page to reference something. As I revisited that part, I watched the book page rearrange itself right before my eyes, with entirely new sections and words appearing that hadn’t been there before.

In Qabalistic teachings, each Hebrew letter corresponds to an element, planet, or sign. The letter Mem (מ) is associated with water, symbolizing the flow of consciousness and the depths of the subconscious mind. The Hanged Man, associated with the letter Mem, is often depicted suspended upside down, with his head either near or submerged in water (or, similarly, the roots), indicating immersion into deeper states of awareness and the subconscious. This imagery suggests a surrender to the flow of inner consciousness.

The Hanged Man is typically shown hanging by one foot from gallows resembling the Hebrew Letter Tau (or Tav). The figure is often depicted with his leg forming a cross, also reminiscent of the Tau (ת) cross. The Tau cross represents completion. In some traditions, the figure is suspended by an ankh (ankh/ankle/angle)—a symbol of life and eternal existence—attached to his ankle.

Astrologically, the planet Saturn is associated with the concept of time, limitations, and structure. In the Qabalistic Tree of Life, Saturn corresponds to the sephirah Binah, representing understanding and the primordial 'Dark Sea'—a metaphor for the vast, unformed potential of the universe. The World card in tarot, numbered 21 (reflecting 12, The Hanged Man), is connected to Saturn and the Great Sea of Binah, and the ability to see/sea under the surface, to sea/see the interconnectedness of All That Is.

"The first truth that I must relate is that we are all surrounded by infinity. As you look around, you might think that you are a being that lives in a world surrounded by objects and that you are an object yourself, albeit a sentient one.

Alchemists, though, discovered a very long time ago that we are all lost in a perceptive illusion. This illusion hides the fact that there are no objects Out There; there is only energy. While some could argue that there are certain energetic conglomerations that might act upon humanity in a way that we have learned to describe as objects, the fundamental reality is that those objects (and the solidity that we ascribe to them) is an illusion—an imposed illusion!

Alchemists would say that we are, in fact, surrounded by infinity, which could more succinctly be described as an immeasurable Dark Sea." - John Kreiter

"You are alive now, a consciousness knowing itself, sparkling with cognition amid a debris of dead and dying cells; alive while the atoms and molecules of your body die and are reborn. You are alive, therefore, in the midst of small deaths; portions of your own image crumble away moment by moment and are replaced, and you scarcely give the matter a thought So, you are to some extent now alive in the midst of the death of yourself - alive despite, and yet because of, the multitudinous deaths and rebirths that occur within your body in physical terms. 

If the cells did not die and were not replenished, the physical image would not continue to exist, so now in the present, as you know it, your consciousness flickers about your ever-changing corporeal image. In many ways you can compare your consciousness as you know it now to a firefly, for while it seems to you that your consciousness is continuous, this is not so. It also flickers off and on, though as we mentioned earlier, it is never completely extinguished" - Seth through Jane Roberts

"Other ancient civilizations also had similar concepts for the 'undifferentiated matrix of the unconscious, an existence bathed in the pre-egoid memories of the watery abyss of our life within the womb,' describes Jill Purce in The Mystic Spiral. 'In ancient Egypt the primordial vibrational field (called nada in India) is called Nun, the primal ocean. It is the One imaged as undifferentiated cosmic substance,' explains Robert Lawlor in Sacred Geometry.

Modern physicists, such as David Bohm refer to a 'sea of electrons', or to an 'energy sea', as Heinz Pagels does in The Cosmic Code, or a 'simultaneous everywhere present matrix' per Ken Wilber in The Holographic Paradigm; These physicists sense of the wholeness of reality can be echoed in the concept used to describe awareized thought/energy fields of the collective unconscious as framework 1 (i.e. the unconscious interval of .8s-1.25s) from where the individual conscious minds form the objects and events in framework 2 (i.e. the conscious interval of .95s-1s). In order to describe the awareized thought/energy fields of the collective unconscious as Framework 2 from where the individual conscious minds form objects and events.

Seth refers to these 'blueprints' or models of objects as 'patterns-out-of-focus' in The Seth Material and, echoing this concept in The Dancing Wu Li Masters, Gary Zukav refers to '"matter" as actually a series of patterns out of focus.' In order to explain that, he says, 'According to particle physics, the world is fundamentally dancing energy; energy that is everywhere and incessant assuming first this form and then that.'" - Manya J. Long

From the Book of Tokens by Paul Foster Case

The phrase "The Fish (Nun) and the Sea (Mem) are One" draws on the relationship between Nun, representing the fish, and Mem, symbolizing the sea. This concept emphasizes unity and interconnectedness, illustrating how the fish, a living entity, cannot exist independently of the sea, which represents the medium of existence itself. 

The sea (Mem) is a metaphor for the infinite and boundless potential of creation, equivalent to the primordial waters or the Dark Sea of Binah. Meanwhile, the fish/seed (Nun - or Motion/"M"(Mem)Ocean) signifies the individual spark of life, the dynamic force navigating within this vast expanse. The fish, though distinct, is inseparably tied to the sea—it is nourished by, sustained by, and moves within the sea. 

This unity encapsulates a fundamental mystical teaching: that all apparent separateness is an illusion. The fish does not exist apart from the sea, and the sea is enriched by the life and movement of the fish within it.

"All forms must change and what changes them is imagination. The universal imagination performs the greater transformation♏, but the imagination of man is no different ... Its essential nature is shown by the root-meaning of the verb NUN—to sprout, to PROPAGATE BY SPROUTING." - Paul Foster Case

"Chokmah [Wisdom] is held to be the seat of the life-force in man, while Tiphareth, or Beauty [the Son/Sun], is regarded as the seat of imagination♀️. Thus the word ABN intimates that the First Matter is identical with the life-force, and that it is also the power which expresses itself in our lives as the active principle in the production of mental imagery." - Paul Foster Case

"The body is not a frozen sculpture but a river of information and energy that is constantly renewing itself. We are not physical machines that have learned how to think, we are actually these thoughts in a universal mind that have learned how to create the physical machine The body is nothing but a field of ideas." - Quantum Healing by Deepak Chopra

"You're nothing but ideas. We take all those ideas and cobble them together and make sort of a personality charm bracelet, an ID bracelet we wear in life. But that's not who we are, because we're nothing. And it's such a fucking relief I believe we’re a field of energy dancing for itself, and I don't care. There is no me. There's just things happening, and there are clusters of tetrahedrons moving around together." - Jim Carrey

"In other words, our seemingly concrete reality of objects and events are the product of conscious energy being transformed from the COLLECTIVE unconscious by the personal unconscious (subconscious) as the IMAGE-MAKER and viewed by our conscious mind's screen as solid objects and events." - Psyche as Interaction 

"The psyche's human subconscious [represented by the High Priestess in tarot] functions as image-maker and utilizes the brow chakra to translate the 60,000 thought/energy waves from the archetypal contents of the collective unconscious as they interface with energy waves from other psyches ... which actualize into objects..." - Manya J. Long

"The sensations exist ONLY WITHIN OUR BODY, yet we LOCALIZE THE IMAGE outside the eye."

Psyche as Interaction by Manya J. Long

"Says Ripley: "We dissolve into water which does not wet the hand." And he tells us, too, that solution is the cause of congelation. Now, to congeal is to freeze, or to render solid by the lowering of temperature. All solids are congealed fluids. Thus Walter Russell, who has had independent insight into the alchemical work, says:

"Man's dependable realities are but the 'ices' of substances. And so are all things which man knows and sees and feels and stands upon and builds upon, and upon which he relies as true and staunch and real and everlasting. All are but as ice, and, at their respective melting points, as reliable as ice. If this planet did not know a temperature above that which keeps ice solid, man's concept of ice would have as much stability as his concept of granite...

"All solids have their several melting points or points of liquefaction. All solids are liquefied gases and frozen liquids which have their varying liquefaction and freezing points. Freezing points are points of crystallization and vary with the complexity of the elements. All frozen solids can be liquefied by heat. All liquids can be broken into gases by still more heat... All gases can be liquefied by cold, and solidified by greater cold... Man's concept of solids is born out of his experiences at the degree of temperature to which he is daily accustomed... Man's concept of solid, for man is accustomed to seeing gold at a temperature below its point of crystallization. Man's concept of mercury is that of a liquid, because man is accustomed to seeing it above its point of crystallization."

– Walter Russell, The Universal One, pp. 60, 61." - Paul Foster Case

"Will-power and Light-power are essentially the same. Furthermore, the universe is ONE, DYNAMIC, LIVING ORGANISM. Then it follows that no part of the universe is unrelated to any other part. The power which forms the patterns of bodies is a power of universal Wisdom, a power of the ONE IDENTITY. That power presents itself to us in the various forms constituting our environment. But the forms blind us, until we are awakened, to the power itself. The truth is that we are in the presence of ONE, SINGLE REALITY, which appears as many things. THE ESSENCE OF THAT REALITY IS THE SELFHOOD OF MAN. A PRIMARY POWER OF THAT REALITY IS TO SHAPE ITS OWN ENERGY INTO FORMS—FORMS PHYSICAL AND FORMS METAPHYSICAL.

For this work actually converts solids in the bloodstream into a vapor, through the functioning of the brain-cells involved in the work. Then the vapor condenses itself again as a solid—AS THE SOLID CONDITIONS OF EXTERNAL CIRCUM-STANCE. Here, in a phrase, is what really occurs. It is by no means "common" sense. It is nevertheless literal truth. One of the functions of the human brain is to make matrices for external conditions. The matrices are mental images. The energy expressed in creative imagination is real energy, derived from subtle, but relatively solid, substances in the bloodstream. That energy is projected in thinking creatively, and ultimately it condenses, or is precipitated or solidified, in the actual forms that are imaged." - Paul Foster Case 

"You think that objects exist independently of you, not realizing that they are instead the manifestations of your own psychological and psychic selves." - Seth via Jane Roberts

"Seth adds, "Chemicals are released through the skin and pore systems, in an invisible but definite pseudophysical formation. The intensity of a thought or image largely determines the immediacy of its physical materialization. There is no object about you that you have not created. There is nothing about your own physical image that you have not made." Remember, the height, intensity [i.e., emotion] amplitude of a wave is tantamount to the limit point of a sphere [i.e., the north pole of the “Y” - axis], and is the only entry way of energy into a system and only at the base resonant frequency of 5–8 cps of the brain’s theta waves.

He later comments, "Your physical senses, again, act almost like a biological alphabet, allowing you to organize and perceive certain patterns of information in which you form."" - Manya J. Long

"In order to attain self-consciousness, the consciousness of the Absolute must project a hologram of itself and then perceive it. That hologram is a mirror image of the Absolute in infinity." - Itzhak Bentov 

"...we cannot DIRECTLY perceive the source of our own being.

Consider the human eye. We can safely say that out eye will never see itself. We can see our eye only by reflection. One day we may be able to see every atom of our eye magnified by some instrument and projected onto a screen. Yet that image is not the eye itself. It is only its reflection." - Edward Abdill

"...the Law of Mentalism leads to the inevitable conclusion that the world is in us, but only the greater inclusive US that is the Non-dual Mind of all-encompassing Spirit. There really isn't anyone 'else' out there, including the alleged 'self' we see in the mirror. For that matter, all 'others' are mirrors of self...

...There isn't anyone else in the room, the planet, the galaxy or the universe..."

"...since consciousness is the source of all reality, our thoughts have the POWER to INFLUENCE the development of reality in time-space as it applies to us if those thoughts can be PROJECTED with adequate intensity. However, the more complicated the objective sought and the more radically it departs from our current reality, the more time the universal hologram will need to REORIENT out reality sphere to accommodate our desires." - Itzhak Bentov

"By saying that our reality is virtual, we refer to the discernment that we make when discovering that this is how things stand. Perceiving such reality as virtual does not prevent us from working with it; we need only understand that this is one of the phases we must experience.

This can be compared to a child with lots of fantasies. The fantasies do not annul the child’s world, and we know that these fantasies are appropriate for the child’s stage of growth. Similarly, when entering a higher reality, we relate to the previous reality as though it were fictitious, though it is very real to those still at that level. 

There is a kind of barrier between the spiritual reality and the corporeal reality. We cannot see the Forces behind this world until we cross the barrier, but these Forces depict the picture of the world within us in much the same way electric vectors create images on the TV or computer screen. When we look at the screen, we see a colorful, three-dimensional picture, but it is really nothing but a combination of electrical forces that can be processed, transferred, and stored. The truth is that we, too, exist in a similar picture, except that the screen is within us. 

Those who rise to the level of these Forces see how real they are, while the picture they create is imaginary. These Forces constantly create different pictures, although the Forces themselves remain the same."

"All in all, there are 125 degrees of attainment. The higher we rise in them, the truer and more correctly will we perceive how these forces connect. At the end of the ladder, one perceives the total merging of these Forces, called Ein Sof. 

The principle that arises from this is that it is only when we attain and perceive something that we can define it. For this reason, all Kabbalists adhere to an unshakeable law stated by Baal HaSulam: “What we do not attain, we do not define by name or word.”" - Source: Kabbalah.info
