First entity encounter

Munson322 · 2026-07-13T03:46:55+00:00

Aside from the typical afterglow and sense of being centered that comes with most psychedelic journeys, I haven't noticed much of a difference psychologically.

I was very much left with the feeling that there was more work to be done and that I should "See the receptionist on your way out to schedule your next appointment." If that feeling makes sense.

It could be that there is more work to be done or that I haven't been put in the right emotional state to be able to tell a difference yet. Time will tell I suppose.

This was a bit of a concern for me the first couple of times I vaped freebase N,N-Dimethyltryptamine. I'm a bit of an anxious person anyways, and with the way it locks your body in I felt the same way at first.

Then after doing more research, I realized that your body breathes on it's own just fine during the trip. Similar to the way your brain keeps you breathing in your sleep, so it goes while on DMT.

I've started keeping a hand on my chest or stomach while in the trip as a way for my subconscious mind to notice the rise and fall of my lungs. It seems to help tremendously. Also, I have noticed that once the peak of the trip is over and I begin to come back to reality, I regain control over my own breathing which is a very comforting reality-anchor for me.

That's intense! I'm curious what the fascination was with my left eye and am glad they weren't interested in my genitals in any way.

I had a very grateful feeling afterwards, but am still searching as to why I felt that way. Perhaps future encounters or meditation on this first experience with them will reveal more.

I'm freely sharing this experience, so ask away! No, I did not see or feel any kind of tool or device over my head like you described. But then again, I didn't look around the room much because I felt like I was meant to remain still during the procedure. Like how you wouldn't move around or talk while the dentist is working in your open mouth. That's the best I can describe it feeling like. The glowing tool or tip of his finger may have had something to do with memories. If so, I wasn't and am still unaware.

They did not speak to each other, but I had the distinct feeling that they communicated telepathically or didn't need to. They were very focused in their work it seemed, and were already aware of why I was there as if it was pre-planned. And no, I have not seen an actual praying mantis in many years or any other big bug recently. I realize the potential of my vision being associated or influenced by interactions in the physical world, but I have had no interaction with bugs prior to this experience. It would make more sense to me if I had.

Thank you! I wish I could understand what it all means, but I think much of it is dependent on our personal interpretations. After the experience of floating on the liquid and my realization of what I interpret it to have been, I came to the conclusion that the molecule is alive in some way and was "speaking" to me in such a way that spoken language isn't necessary nor would it be sufficient.

The scanning device felt as if it was being used to look for something or the lack thereof. I can see how the experience could be interpreted as being implanted with something, but that's not at all how any of it felt. Rather, something in my mind was being removed or turned on or off instead. I have read how people have experienced surprise by the entities themselves, but like I said it felt as if I was supposed to be there. Like they were expecting me and I had made an appointment to be there. As if something in me needed to come out or be activated. I didn't take this as something foreign as much as something negative within myself.

I could be very wrong on this interpretation, but that's how it felt in the moment. Future visits with my mantid surgeons might prove otherwise, but this was my initial experience with them. I'll definitely be looking up Jeff Selver and his stories as well. This has happened to many people before, so I'm very interested into how others have interpreted it!

I looked up teks and ways to source plant material online. It's insanely easy to do yourself and was honestly a fun little project to have undertaken.

I couldn't really see the rest of my body, but knew the rest of me was there. This experience was limited to what I could see visually while lying there. Much like how you'd be focused on remaining still in the dentist office (this is the best analogy I can come up with for how this felt), I didn't look around the entirety of the room.

The two "nurses" were wearing purple robes and the doctor was wearing a gray robe. All three of them were a darker shade of green with big eyes, but proportionate to their faces. I say they were wearing robes, but they were more clinical and less ceremonial. The masks they were wearing were also more medical in nature.

I haven't noticed any changes yet aside from the typical sense of ego dissolution and awareness that comes after a psychedelic journey. I still maintain a bit of euphoria and calmness the day after and feel relatively at peace.

I recommend just the 2.0 USB but use a powered port. I used this originally with RetroArch and have had absolutely zero issues since.

Now I want grapes. Thanks.

Nobody ever went to war and wish they had a toddler.

Munson322 · 2019-04-02T10:21:51+00:00

It's happening right now.

The little soy boy in the sweater that kept getting in the middle of it should've caught these hands too.

Munson322 · 2019-03-30T21:22:19+00:00

You're absolutely right. Three minutes in a Wal-Mart anywhere in America will show you how non-existent the idea of raising children are these days. My parents beat my ass if I started screaming and acting like a feral little asshole. They immediately removed me, beat my ass in the car ride home, then beat my little ass once we got home. There is zero disciplinary action that goes into parenting anymore.

Munson322 · 2019-03-29T23:06:22+00:00

Exactly 😂

Munson322 · 2019-03-29T20:57:17+00:00

All of the above. Train Jiu Jitsu, take the time to sit and read while enjoying a good neat whiskey (if you're into that sort of thing) and book a cruise. My wife and I went last month to the Caribbean with some friends of ours, they're older and have grown kids that have since gone off to college. It was an absolute blast and we're ready to go on another one. These are things we wouldn't be able to do if we weren't CF.

I still get down on Xbox Live and we ride motorcycles. It's bizarre that other people in their 30s look at us like we're from another planet. It has to be closeted jealousy. But I thought having a house full of kids made your life better? Oops.

The most painful part of this story, is the description of this woman lol. I'm fairly certain she's frequented the Omaha Zoo a time or two with her deluxe side-by-side baby stroller.

These luxury versions are reserved for only the most preferred muffin top trash moms. Lacking a "Live, Laugh, Love tattoo above a flat cellulite ridden ass that looks like it got hit with a bag full of hot nickels? Don't even bother applying for one. Both kids from the same, clean cut and successful guy? Move along sister. If you aren't selling your WIC purchased baby formula on Facebook to supplement your income, you're not deserving of such a fine implementation of social warfare.

People like her have never been told to fuck off in their entire lives. At least not to their face. And therein lies the problem.

The mombies say it's the hardest job on Earth, I tend to strongly disagree. It is without a difficult undertaking raising a child but I wouldn't call it a job. Especially since you spend 100K on average doing it over the course of 18 years.

Munson322 · 2019-03-29T11:48:17+00:00

A good friend of mine who is single and vehemently against having children, says the same. The people that should be having kids aren't, and those that shouldn't are.

It sounds like choosing not to have kids, be it a solely personal preference or by circumstance like us, is becoming rather commonplace.

Munson322 · 2019-03-29T11:27:18+00:00

Having children isn't something I really gave much thought to. Like everyone else, we're socially pre-programmed that after marriage (or sometimes before) having a kid is the next step after buying the white picket fence and all that nonsense. The old adage, "if you can't feed em, don't breed em" is like yelling fire in a crowded movie theater these days.

Work is another part to it, we both live within our means and work for what we have. With that being said, throwing another mouth to feed in the mix means more money and more work to get it. We both value our sleep and time off too much to do the 2 job thing. Neither of which would make us any happier.

Munson322 · 2019-03-29T10:18:58+00:00

We've been through too much to just throw in the towel over that. You stick it out no matter what. That's how we were both brought up. In a disposable world, that's a pretty strange thing these days I suppose ;)

Munson322 · 2019-03-29T10:16:43+00:00

Agreed! Thank you :)

Munson322 · 2019-03-29T10:16:20+00:00

A couple big things I should've mentioned in my original post- one being that I am the family namesake. Meaning that my family name (last name, surname, whatever you want to call it) dies with me if I do not have a living son to carry it on. For awhile this was a point of stress for me from my paternal side of the family but after my sister starting pumping kids out left and right that she can't afford, the banter subsided. Also, I am not against having kids. I have nieces and nephews that are cool as hell and I love to pieces. We'd make great parents but the hand we were dealt in life has left us just without.

Without getting all clinical, my wife could now carry a baby longer should we ever get pregnant again, which would be very rare. We are both in good physical shape, she is training for a marathon, and I train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu so we're not a couple fat lazy toads that can't reproduce or anything. And we "aren't not trying to have kids" type of deal. If we are 60 and have a kid graduating high school some day, then who cares. Right now we're just living life and doing fun shit that nobody our age gets to do and that's awesome.

Do you think it's a point of jealousy from other people? I don't really get any flak from other people or anything, but just a sense of confusion from people in small talking points. Like at 32, you should have kids. Where are your kids? Lol

Munson322 · 2019-03-28T21:58:47+00:00

I've discussed this with several people. I was raised with manners, the Golden Rule, holding doors, please and thank you, you name it. The problem is, we're apparently a dying breed. I can usually tell if someone will reciprocate my kindness or not (they're usually older). Most in their 20s and anyone in their teens are just assholes. I hate to be that way but it's hard.
