Anyone else experiencing this?

[Shorty]

So, my life has taken a rather “weird” turn this year, and I am hoping to find others who might be going through a similar experience to discuss and cross reference.

Earlier this year I began experiencing what I have come to call “shifts.” These shifts are composed off what I call “downloads.” Mass amounts of compacted information. Some I’m able to unpack quickly, others take time. This has led to a massive shift in how I perceive and interact with everything. I’ve also experienced a continuing growth change in my sight. It’s hard to explain, but it’s like I’m starting to make sense of things that were outside of my limited sense of perception. Sometimes, it’s just seeing “energy” floating/mixing/puddling/shooting. Other times I see “distortions” in the air around me. Sometimes, it takes bodily shape, other times no discernible shape at all. There are other things that have happened like OBE, increased sense of intention reception (somewhat like telepathy, but not actual words), flashes of images and scenes from people’s life around me. I’ve also had interesting scenarios where seemingly “intuitive” people have sought me out when I’m out and about.
I’ve also developed an insatiable thirst for knowledge. Utilizing my intuition on what to read vs what to avoid. Also, picking out and discerning truths from interpretations from outright lies. I’ve lost all desire for conventional entertainment, and devote a large amount of time to reading and following “threads.”
There’s much more than this. I searched through the forum (but admittedly did not do a severely thorough search) looking for mentions of anything like this.
I have an idea of what’s happening, but do my best to constantly stay open and never definitively come to any conclusion since there is always infinite possibilities.

Is anyone else experiencing anything remotely close to this?

FWIW Shorty, I can't speak to what phenomena you're experiencing. It could be just an active imagination. But it might be a good idea to seek professional counselling or medical help if these phenomena continue. You joined August 4th, so you've only been a forum member for eight days. I would suggest you stick to the recommended readings, go to cassiopaea.org,starting with Amazing Grace and read the Adventure series as well. There is a thread with a list of suggested readings as well.
As well, you probably should take a hard and objective look at your lifestyle, past and present. In fact, maybe tell us more about yourself and get involved with the forum (which is what you're doing right now. Good show).
Best of luck
Maybe someone else more knowledgeable could offer some feedback and suggestions.

Hi Redrock,

I appreciate the concern. I can certainly understand the viewpoint of possible overactive imagination. And to someone not experiencing this, it very well could certainly seem “off the wall.”

I assure you, I don’t do drugs, I rarely drink, I meditate often (although my “style” regularly changes based off intuitive needs). I have a very developed control of my emotional state, and I’m not hallucinating “six foot tall bunny rabbits” or anything of the sort.
I have a brother who is going through similar experiences, and to date he is the only one I have found to experience anything similar.
While I certainly understand that “putting myself out there” in this fashion will leave things up to multiple interpretations, and I was very prepared for the “you must be crazy” type comments…there is something within me that says that there are others this type of thing is happening to. Hence, the post.

Earlier this year I began experiencing what I have come to call “shifts.” These shifts are composed off what I call “downloads.” Mass amounts of compacted information. Some I’m able to unpack quickly, others take time. This has led to a massive shift in how I perceive and interact with everything.

I'm not sure if I understood your ideas of shifts and downloads, but what comes to mind is that even if we consider as possible some kind of inspiration from higher sources, the truth is that we need to do the hard work to acquire and apply information.

Applied information always leads to shifts in our perception, yet it requires a lot of conscious effort.

I’ve also experienced a continuing growth change in my sight. It’s hard to explain, but it’s like I’m starting to make sense of things that were outside of my limited sense of perception. Sometimes, it’s just seeing “energy” floating/mixing/puddling/shooting. Other times I see “distortions” in the air around me. Sometimes, it takes bodily shape, other times no discernible shape at all.

I’ve also had interesting scenarios where seemingly “intuitive” people have sought me out when I’m out and about.

Considering what you share, you could ask, what am I getting from those experiences? what's the tangible benefit?

Sometimes these experiences can feed illusions about ourselves and self-importance. They can also distract us from more important matters.

I'm not saying that this is the case, but intuition always needs to be balanced with proper thinking to avoid falling into the traps of our illusions, and subjectivity.

And in general, it's always better to focus and become proficient on the basics - basic self-work - to the best of our ability before delving into the unknown, mystical matters, or whatever you want to call it... otherwise, we risk getting lost. That's why psychology and other recommended readings are important: We need the language, information, and practices to understand ourselves better and change what's necessary.

Utilizing my intuition on what to read vs what to avoid. Also, picking out and discerning truths from interpretations from outright lies.

Intuition alone cannot help us to see the whole picture, some topics require study and networking.

I’ve lost all desire for conventional entertainment, and devote a large amount of time to reading and following “threads.”

I don't know what you mean with conventional entertainment, but positive dissociation now and then can be a good thing.

Not in the same line but you might want to look at the romance novels project if you haven't already. It's entertaining and it has many benefits too!

I have an idea of what’s happening,

What do you think it’s happening?

but do my best to constantly stay open and never definitively come to any conclusion since there is always infinite possibilities.

That's a good approach, but it's possible to achieve a decent and useful conclusion with enough information and input from others here, for example.

Depending on the brand of whiskey...but if you mean without drinking anything, at most I see different shapes in the clouds.

Well actually, I have been having strange things happen to me like going into ecstasy, teleportation, remote viewing and many other things.

There is a saying in my country:

What does not kill you makes you stronger!

All people have some talent in which they excel. Sometimes several.

How these talents are used and for what, is what may be important.

 

[Shorty]

Yes. The ecstasy I call being “kissed by God.” Although, that’s just a label I’ve given when that extreme ecstasy comes on so strong that it brings tears.
And definitely Remote Viewing/OBE experiences.

Absolutely! It’s only through conscious expansion of the “database” in the brain that I’ve actually been able to make sense of some of the downloads. That’s where the thirst for knowledge comes in. I understand that I must expand the capabilities of the brain to fully reach understanding.

Considering what you share, you could ask, what am I getting from those experiences? what's the tangible benefit?

I ask myself this question every day. For now, I use my interactions with certain people I come in to contact with to help them begin questioning their beliefs system about how things are. Like fishing, some times you get a bite, sometimes you don’t

Sometimes these experiences can feed illusions about ourselves and self-importance. They can also distract us from more important matters.

quite the opposite for me. It’s been an extremely humbling experience. I’ve been actively trying to de-program the parts of myself that is considered the “foreign installation.”

I'm not saying that this is the case, but intuition always needs to be balanced with proper thinking to avoid falling into the traps of our illusions, and subjectivity.

Always. Intuition, with knowledge and “true feelings” should always be in alignment.

And in general, it's always better to focus and become proficient on the basics - basic self-work - to the best of our ability before delving into the unknown, mystical matters, or whatever you want to call it... otherwise, we risk getting lost. That's why psychology and other recommended readings are important: We need the language, information, and practices to understand ourselves better and change what's necessary.

True understanding, so that you can make your choices with a clear view of the actual choice.

Intuition alone cannot help us to see the whole picture, some topics require study and networking.

conventional entertainment? I mean things like TV, movies, comic books (I used to be an avid reader). More than anything I enjoy reading, gathering knowledge and just interacting with my friends.

Not in the same line but you might want to look at the romance novels project if you haven't already. It's entertaining and it has many benefits too!



What do you think it’s happening?

it’s merely speculation at this point. The one word that can sum up my hypothesis would be attunement.

That's a good approach, but it's possible to achieve a decent and useful conclusion with enough information and input from others here, for example.

Yes. That’s why made this post. At the least, to get feedback from an open minded group.

I greatly appreciate your comments! Thank you.

 

[Cass]

And definitely Remote Viewing/OBE experiences.

It is not casual every interaction surely everyone here has been experiencing something strange because otherwise it would not be worth the tribe the tribal unit, for example we work as a team at many levels some have been Laura's bodyguard, each member has its function we are a team so keep moving forward.

Hi Shorty,

To echo what Logos5x5 said, beyond describing the experience, what have you "downloaded" that was of practical use? I have experienced sometimes, right before falling asleep, hearing tunes that I've never heard before nor did I invent, so I do think that there's a connection of all of us to the information field so to speak, or it might be my mind getting a tune ready to go into a dream state, but for the most part, in my experience, it's mostly useless or entertaining, it's never transcendental per se.

So, do you have a few specific examples? or what books has your downloading turned into reading?

Another thing that I've always kept in mind is that, while these intuitive thoughts seem so domestic and at the same time so "divine", I tend to not trust them 100% of the time, this comes from the knowledge that there's a lot more going on out there and beams and hyperdimensional shenanigans that could create such a feeling with specific images and feelings within us. So I usually thread carefully.

I have been noticing what I call shifts aswell, for me it's normally when I'm able to zoom out or pop out of a thought/convo loop with another person. Luckily I have a friend who notices it aswell so we both call it when they occur, I call it getting sent to the kids table when it happens downward.

Seeing "energy" or something is starting to happen, started with getting relaxed than what seemed like faint rain/strands falling?/moving.

With certain friends once you get past the surface level stuff it's like talking to yourself or the same feel when I read certain parts of the wave, the brain starts working like a receiver and really good conversation starts flowing than you identify with your self and say something random like "I wouldn't mind buying a kayak" and bam.. back at the kids table.. that's when the shift hits and the masks go back on until you get past the surface level again.


You seem to be doing fine, just keep putting your puzzle together brother.

The Work here doesn't look to develop paranormal, psychic, or intuitive abilities. The pursuit is knowledge and understand through a wide range of topics that also have specific focuses. Intuition is pretty easily manipulated by both internal and external influences. Are you reading or have you read The Wave? If not, it is a good place to start as it is foundational to many concepts and efforts on the forum. Darkness Over Tibet is also a good book that explores the pitfalls and traps involved seeking spiritual experiences.

While I was reading the Wave series of books I had a lot of strange experiences. My whole perception of reality, self and others changed. I felt something expand from within and out, I felt bliss due to finally finding a source of knowledge based on truth, research, objectivity and a willingness to share. Maybe someone would call that a “spiritual experience”, I definitely wasn’t “seeking” a spiritual experience, I was seeking answers.

I’ve had similar experiences but much lower key while reading Castaneda, Ouspensky, some of the psychology books, the romance reading project. I read something and it creates an expansive internal environment that sometimes leads to “aha” comprehension moments that lead to further viewing self, others and reality in a new way.

This last year I’ve had many of these. Each time leaving an older defunct version of my self behind. I’m not “seeking” any of this. In truth it’s distanced me from everyone I know. I had a similar experience in a “shift” of self 2011/2012 that caused me to have almost a mini breakdown because I so badly wanted to go back to my “old self”, only when I found Laura’s books did I find a path out and to accept I couldn’t go back.

I think many of us refrain from sharing these experiences as we may be perceived as too “woo”. I get it as there are so many people marinating in their egos but what if this stuff happens and we are NOT seeking it?

That's different. There's many accounts of people experiencing 'woo'-like things as a result of pursuing deeper answers about ourselves and our world. What seems to happen, and I could be wrong, is as a result of connecting with certain fields of knowledge, our awareness begins to grow and that can open some people up to various psychic phenomena. It's extrasensory, but still at a lower level. If we continue on, I think those things will probably either pass or at least change in nature. When people get overly involved in seeking spiritual experiences or psychic phenomena, it is very easy to just end up playing in the mud. Some people have a natural psychic ability, but that ability can more of a curse for them if there is little development of the self and growth in awareness about our world.
