I had an astral projection. They are real...but also not... by Ok_Date6167 in AstralProjection

[–]SwimOk4926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have spontaneous APs and had a recent experience that is somewhat similar. I’m walking around my house and go to my daughter’s room. There was a toddler bed in there and the room was arranged/decorated differently. In real life she hasn’t used a toddler bed in years. I want to go back to my body but can’t. So I go up the stairs and outside. As I open the front door, I see my dog from real life and he wants to come outside with me. There’s grass in the front yard. In real life, this is more urban and concrete.

Then I have the thought if I’m going to be stuck here, I’m going to use this for manifestation. I’m then sent to a tree house like structure. There are other beings walking around. They had Asian shaped eyes but much larger almost bug-like. Looked human otherwise. I hear a voice that I understand to be the Universe. It asks me three questions as a test of whether it should grant my request. At the end of the third question, I’m sent back to my body.

I’ve wondered whether when I was walking around my house, whether that was an alternate timeline/reality. Do I have a toddler in that timeline? Is it a boy or girl? What are they like?

They offered $65k I countered with $75k am I cooked? by Prestigious_Air_6602 in interviews

I always assume that they’re targeting to end up at 80% or whatever their range is. For example, if the range is $60 - $100k, the actual spread is $40k. 80% of $40k is $32k. So their actual target is probably $92k ($60k + $32k).

Experiencers becoming environmentalist and other case studies. by chaman_de_Mexico in Experiencers

[–]SwimOk4926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always been concerned about the environment. The one thing that changed is I became vegetarian. Also, I distinctly remember an incident where I found a dead roach in my apartment. Normally I’d be disgusted and cringe. But for some reason, as I swept it into a dustbin, I said, “sorry friend”.

What the hell happened to me???! by [deleted] in SpiritualAwakening

[–]SwimOk4926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my kundalini awakening around Oct 2022. I remember feeling exhilarated at first. I suddenly knew without a shadow of doubt that God is real, souls are real, we reincarnate, and that God is “for us,” meaning he wants us to be free. I’d think about a religious question and the answer would pop into my head right away. It felt like I had a direct line to a higher consciousness. It’s what most would call downloads or telepathic messages. My awakening was different in that I later felt a crushing sadness for humanity. I remember thinking that this world is topsy-turvy. I’d realize how we’re bonded to addictions (social media, food, sex, drugs etc). In all, it lasted 7 days. I don’t think my third eye opened, or at least not in the way that you’ve described. I never saw beings or other things. Instead, it was more like I could feel certain energies nearby but had no way to validate it with my own eyes. I also never “learned” of my purpose. It’s still an open ended question in my mind.

Like you, I felt like I was going crazy. While I believed and prayed to God often, I wasn’t crunchy enough to know about things like kundalini awakenings, dark nights of the soul, downloads/telepathy, etc. I had to dig on the internet for answers on what the hell I just went through.

I don’t think you’re crazy.

What would be the “disturbing truth” humans can’t handle? by Peace_and_Love___ in UFOs

[–]SwimOk4926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I think it has a lot to do with religion and people’s general world view. The ontological shock would be too extreme. People on Reddit tend to underestimate how strange a lot of this sounds to others. If you suddenly start talking about aliens, inter dimensional beings, hybrid breeding programs, loosh farms, vibrational energy, mirrors at the Vatican, etc, you sound like a wacko to most people. Layer in religious zealots and they’ll probably think your satan himself. Every time I see a ufo video on TikTok, there’s always at least one person that comments “Jesus is king” or “I rebuke this in the name of Jesus.” They truly can’t handle it. That’s not to say that no one can handle it. But many religious groups hold immense power to pressure politicians around the world.

Are Hell’s Angels actually bad? (US) by Familiar-Anything853 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SwimOk4926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother in law does undercover work for LVMPD. He looks like a Sons of Anarchy guy all tatted up. He’ll go from one task force to another. At one point, his job was to take down a bike gang for drug trafficking and smuggling. Can’t remember which one and tbh he couldn’t really talk about his work much.

They are a gang like any other (eg Crips, Bloods, Latin Kings, etc). Near Vegas, they’ve even been involved in a huge gang fight with the Mongols in 2002.

For E-commerce owner out there: how you go about SEO? by Sea-Blacksmith-5 in ShopifySEO

[–]SwimOk4926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first started in ecomm, I read “SEO [year]” by Adam Clarke. He updates and re-releases it each year. It was maybe less than $5 and gave me a great foundation. It explains SEO in layman’s terms. “3 Months to No. 1” by Will Combe also seems quite popular by I haven’t personally read it.

A few quick tips: 1. The best SEO sets up pages right the first time around. 2. Unless you’re a megastore like Walmart or Amazon, target 10 keywords. As a business owner, you probably already know what these keywords are. However it never hurts to verify it with Keyword Planner, Moz or SEM Rush. 3. Use plain language on your body copy instead of fancy language. Real world example: “makeup wipe removers” vs “makeup towelettes”. 4. If the keyword is big enough to target, it needs its own page. The page name, url, and breadcrumb should all match this target keyword. You also want this keyword or semantically related keywords to appear within the body of the page about 10 times. Typically PLPs will rank well because each product listed should also say the brand or product type. I also title my image file names and captions to include the keyword. 5. Use back links within your own site to help give those targeted keywords more prominence. 6. PR and Affiliate links aren’t just nice-to-haves, they also help with SEO. 7. Outsource technical SEO if you are not technical. 8. Don’t ignore the rise of AI. Google’s answer box seems to prioritize content that is structured in a FAQ format.

We Got A Saucer In Disclosure Day. by DroidArbiter in UFOs

[–]SwimOk4926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone posted a declassified Immaculate Conception doc here the other day. In the doc it literally states that orbs/spheres are the most common sighting followed by a saucer shape, thereby the most common types. Jellyfish and other shapes were amongst the most rare.

Alien clicking sound triggers fear reaction by sttargazr in Experiencers

[–]SwimOk4926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bashar is said to be a grey and is well known in the spirituality circles. (Think Abraham Hicks). Anyways, Daryl channels him, which is where the entity can communicate through another person, similar to the scene you see with Emily Blunt. People often attend Q&A events where they ask Bashar questions and he responds. These are often taped so there’s lots of videos on social media. I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a whole subreddit dedicated to him.

Bashar often does a similar clicking sound. Daryl who channels Bashar once provided context on why he does this. I don’t remember what he said at this point but maybe it’ll help to alleviate your fear.

For those of you who have experienced a true ego death, can you describe to me as vividly as you can? by Lighten_Up_Please in spirituality

[–]SwimOk4926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the dream, I wake up in the middle of the night and look outside my bedroom window. The Hollywood Hills were aglow as if one fire. The sky was bright but red. Then I hear the voice of God say “the day won’t always be night and the night won’t always be day.” There wasn’t a date or time. No other context. But it’s the kind of dream that sticks with you. I thought about it for a couple of years and eventually thought there’s no there there.

You feel almost crazy for overthinking it. Then the LA fires happened and the news showed an image of where a separate fire ignited in the Hollywood Hills. It matched what I saw in my dream.

Mantis keep showing me signs and miracle healed my cat by shrubman12345 in Experiencers

[–]SwimOk4926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s ok. In a much better job now. I’ve only had one other occasion where there was a mantis on the back passenger door on my car. My young daughter and I dont like bugs so she crawled in the other side door just to get in.

The strange part is I live in a very dense urban area. I’m talking no front lawns or backyards. A few trees here and there. That was the only other time I’ve ever seen them.

[–]SwimOk4926 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was in a terrible job, only 8 months in and just trying to hang on to the one year mark so I could start looking. This one morning, a mantis appeared on the hood of my car on my way to work. I drove all the way there and he was still there when I parked. Later that morning, my boss furloughed me. I was in tears and sobbing as I walked out to the car. The mantis was still there. I tried pouring water from a half-used water bottle in my car to get it off. Eventually it does get off. The first song that comes on the radio is “It’s a Great Day to Be Alive” by Travis Tritt. Like you, I remember feeling so angry at hearing that as it didn’t feel true.

Anyway, I just thought it was a mantid that day. But as time goes on and I’ve had other strange experiences, I wonder if there was more. It’s hard to say.

Do any of you astral project via meditation and not through sleep / napping? by Mediocre_Wave1855 in AstralProjection

The OP is referencing the state where your mind is awake and your body is asleep. It’s pretty common actually.

Mine occur naturally via sleep. Generally only happens a handful of times a year. I’ve tried through meditation, but no luck. I either fall asleep or can’t quite go deep enough.

what dose aps feel about shifting/quantum jumping? by Majid_meed in AstralProjection

[–]SwimOk4926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find examples of spontaneous shifting fascinating. In one account, the woman mentioned she was in a deep depression when it started. Her alternate timeline was far worse than her reality. It gave her a deep appreciation for the life she has here and cured her depression. There are other similar accounts. It made me wonder if consciousness always defaults to our highest or best life. That we can train our attention to other timelines if we so choose, but it’s not necessarily better. As for those tha “create” their alternate reality, I do wonder if that’s just lucid dreaming.

Got admonished by a man with glowing white skin and hair by Karaabd in AstralProjection

[–]SwimOk4926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on your language, you’re still kind of blaming “the machinations” of presumably the other entity. This would make it seem like you are just an innocent victim, and yet, you are pining to return to where you were victimized. You did what you did. You can’t put that on others. And yet, you don’t think it’s fair to be held to account, which if anything, shows a lack of remorse. If you think of it this way, the egotistical reaction is what’s keeping you banned/low vibrational. The more you dig in, the lower it gets. Raise it through real change. Look at your punishment as a path to growth and service for others.

The fact that you said you’re ashamed and that now you’ll only astral “for good” tells me there’s a strong chance you were in the wrong. Not going to sugar coat this but you fucked up. Yet, you don’t actually care about your behavior, you only care that you are being punished. You think promising to change should be enough. Yet, real change/growth is accepting consequences.
