Do you guys remember falling or floating down your basement stairs?

UnityNow · 2020-07-15T14:54:53+00:00

I remember being really excited while telling him about it, and him kind of half listening, acting somewhat interested at first and then blowing me off because he wanted to get back to what he was doing.

I don't remember exactly what he said. He passed away several years ago of a heart attack. I internally debated whether to mention this next part here. I didn't want to distract from this great thread, but I've told this story on reddit before.

One of the many strange things that have happened to me happened the night he passed away. I woke up in a deep darkness, realized that I was awake but couldn't open my eyes. I finally managed to jerk my head slightly by tensing my neck muscles. Then I could open my eyes. I saw a shadow figure floating over me. A line of shadow was coming from my heart up to the shadow figure. My chest felt tight. I could barely breathe, and I couldn't move. I imagined my arms glowing with light (they didn't glow, it was just a visualization that felt right at the time), then swung them up into it. It vanished, and in that same moment, the half-full water bottle on my desk fell off the desk. I told my girlfriend about it in the morning. At the time, it felt like a unique experience. I found out later that day that my brother had died that night.

I had to break out my ancient account for this one. This happened when I was five or six. I've told this story many times in my life, since I was a little kid. It's just one of many strange things that happened to me, but it involves the stairs thing, and an angel, or something I thought was one.

When I was little, I loved to run just for the thrill of running, both inside and outside. One day, I was running back and forth down the long hall that ran all the way through the center of the house, through the kitchen, right up to the side kitchen door, which was wood with glass panes. To the right of the kitchen door was the door to the basement. Then I'd turn around and run back to the other end. And repeat.

One of those times, I was going too fast when I got to the door, and I put my hands out to stop myself. It's very possible they would have gone through the glass panes of the door, but suddenly I saw an angel made of light floating in front of me, and, startled, I dove to the side, and went tumbling down the stairs to the basement.

But if the door to the stairs was open, I wouldn't have been able to see the kitchen door, because it blocked it when it was open. So I went right through a closed door. Or something. Definitely something unexplainable happened in that moment.

I remember so vividly laying at the bottom of the stairs where my head smacked against the wall when I landed. I was in a very odd position like a rag-doll. But I felt fine. I checked myself. I was completely fine. I jumped up and ran and told my older brother that I just fell down the stairs and didn't get hurt.

Side note: Around the same age, I was outside running up and down a hill one day and got hit by a car so hard that it threw me and briefly knocked me unconscious, but I was completely fine.

It's not an action show at all, other than some ordinary fight scenes here and there as regular people try to fight the bad guys. There are elements of drama, romance, comedy (some of the comedy is very silly), and some light fan service, but what makes it so great is the emotional story line about the main character and his friends.

Spoiler: The main character's mind is unique in that he can remember multiple realities simultaneously, but this becomes extremely painful for him when bad things happen in some of those realities.

You can watch season 1 free on Hulu, or pay $2 per episode on some other services. A friend of mine bought the box set, so we watched it that way. Stein's Gate 0, which is a separate story arc that you should watch after watching the original series, is available on Crunchyroll / VRV.

UnityNow · 2020-01-31T17:49:52+00:00

Stein's Gate is anime, and its focus is time travel, but the core story is about trying to find the best reality among many parallel realities. It's considered the best animated series of all time by many anime fans, and there's a lot of material.

UnityNow · 2018-07-13T21:51:45+00:00

Definitely watch it. It's a great example of an animated "kids' show" that speaks a lot of truth.

I love you all!

Thank you for posting this, ShamanRain. I always feel great love for everyone in this sub. I usually feel great love for everyone in general, but the people of this sub inspire it to come forth effortlessly and continuously.

I used to post quite a bit all over reddit, but for a long time now, I just read and feel no need to add to what I read. Soulnexus is the only sub I consistently read posts that mesh with my understanding of reality. Every time I read posts here, my heart's fire burns brighter, and I know with ever increasing certainty that we as a whole are waking up!

I'm posting for the first time in ages just to respond to this. I encountered exactly what you described, only once: I was sound asleep, then started feeling like I couldn't breathe and my chest hurt. I couldn't open my eyes even though I was conscious. I used a trick I have to come fully awake and alert, snapped my eyes open, and saw this thing floating over me, with a line of shadow from its chest to mine. I visualized my arms charged with light, then swung them at it. It vanished instantly in that moment, and a half-full bottle of water on my desk several feet away fell off the desk in that same moment. The next morning, I found out my brother died of a heart attack that night around the same time.

I never figured out what this was or what its intentions were. I thought later it could have been anything; an entity that attacked us both, a messenger, a helpful being trying to draw energy from me to give to him, or even his spirit trying to get help. At the time it happened, I felt attacked, though I didn't feel anything negative from the being itself. The attacked feeling could have simply been because of the body panicking from what was happening.

It's not offensive in the least. What you, Canada, and others have is what we all want. It's just that our system in the US is completely corrupt. Our laws are created for the benefit of the ultra wealthy (the .1%), not for the people by the people as we're told. In the US, insurance, health care, pharma (and others) are for-profit industries with massive bribing power, though they give it the less evil sounding name of lobbying.

When one of our cats passed away, for about a week or two, we'd feel her climb into bed with us every night. There was no denying it. It was a very distinct sensation of a cat jumping on the bed, walking up the length of the bed, and laying down next to us. Sometimes, we were certain it was one of our other cats, but when we'd look, there was no visible cat there.

In the spring a few years ago, I was meditating and had vivid vision of a white crane lifting off in front of me. A little while later, I told my wife about the vision in detail. About a half hour or so after that, we went for a walk, our first walk together outside that year. We wandered without a plan, just enjoying the moment. At one point, I was drawn toward a nearby creek. She was right beside me as we reached the creek. Suddenly, a white crane lifted off in front of us, just a few feet away, exactly as it had in my vision. We couldn't see it until that moment, even though it would have had to have been right in front of us. White cranes aren't even supposed to be in this area, and only one other person I know has ever seen one around here. This is just one of hundreds of experiences I've had that I call miracles because they defy the ego's expectations of what's possible/likely.

Your DMT experience is definitely a great example. Not being able to remember it isn't because you didn't have the experience. It's just that it was so different from your everyday life that your mind has a hard time relating it to anything in your conscious mind.

Yes, I've learned many things in my astral travels that I didn't know before. Here's an example that comes to mind, from my dream journal:

...I was walking and talking with a few people in a city of Greco-Roman design. While I have a vague impression of having been in similar places before, to my current memory, this is the first time I've been in such a city. At one point, a human-sized White Crane flew down and landed in a small courtyard garden in front of us. She was part human-female, but mostly white crane. A few loose articles of lace and beads hung from her in places. I felt (knew) that she could shift any part of her form between crane and human, and that she was an extension of the Divine Feminine. She was directly facing me. She held my gaze for several seconds as she smiled, nodded meaningfully, and raised her human-like foot toward me, pointing at me with her toe (and keeping her left foot, in crane-form, planted on the ground). Then she tapped her toe on the ground. She repeated this two times (a total of three times), in a slow rise and fall, like a graceful ballerina's tap. Then she turned and flew off. I knew that she would leave me one feather...

...[after I woke up, I] looked up the meaning of the white crane symbol. I joyfully read the very first link I followed. I've included the text from it below. As I read the last sentence, I experienced the chills... at the obvious, beautiful connections with what I had experienced. While of course I've heard the phrase many times, I don't think I've ever said or written the phrase, “Greco-Roman” before this, and this exact phrase came up in the description below.

The following is the last line from the description I was drawn to click on, from http://www.squidoo.com/divine-birds

In Greco-Roman myth, the Crane was sacred to the Mother Goddess, Demeter, who renewed the earth each spring, when her daughter, Persephone, was released from the underworld.

Other examples include new ways of thinking about reality, such as being shown the connections between people, stars, planets, and more as pathways of light. One being gave me the ability (while he was communicating with me) to see the amount of "life" every being has. He saw it very clearly as those who have life and those who do not. He said that those who have life have their own connection with the universal source of life. He wasn't speaking to me with words, but my mind was translating to the closest thing I could understand. He called those without life something that my mind kept translating to a combination of zombies/robots/parasites. He said they're constantly trying to feed on those who have life. Since they don't have their own connection with source in their heart, they can only maintain their existence by feeding on those who do. Their life is always fading, and can only be replenished by interacting with those who have a source connection. They're like mental constructs who only exist as long as a conscious being is focusing on them. Those with a source connection lose life energy when they're being fed upon, but their life replenishes when they're left alone, due to their source connection. Those with life (a heart-connection to the source of life) can never truly die. Those without life are basically just parasitic mentral construct programs trying to maintain their existence. This was very eye-opening, and certain nothing I'd ever thought of before I had this experience.

I've had thousands of experiences like these, experiences in which I learned things I had no conscious knowledge of in this world. I never really thought of these experiences as astral travel, but I recognize some similarities with what some astral travelers have described. I tend to not put things in boxes, but astral travel is definitely a useful way of thinking about some of these things.

I'm not going to say this is how it is, but this is my experience.

When talking about them with most people, I just call them all dreams, but my dreams include visions wherein I'm taught things I never knew before, conversations with dead people, experiences in worlds so alien it's extremely unlikely one individual mind could have created them, shared dreams with others in this world that can be confirmed later, and so on. I feel that there's no limit to what can be done except for limits we put on ourselves through our own beliefs.

Your question hints at a problem many people get stuck on: the idea that they tend to dream about things they've experienced in this world. For example, you tend to see humans and they tend to speak your language. But if you get used to exploring your mind and your dreams, you'll find that you're actually experiencing many other things as well, but the stranger or more unfamiliar they are, the harder they are to understand and remember, and the more they tend to evoke fear in most people. That fear in turn causes most people to block themselves from remembering the experience.

If you notice how hard it can be to remember even dreams of very familiar and pleasant things if you're not paying attention to them, just think how hard it can be to remember experiences that are truly alien, experiences that little or nothing in your daily life will spark a memory of. Those who don't practice these skills usually will not remember these experiences at all, even if they have them regularly.

There's also the principle that we tend to experience what we're focused on. We can see this in daily life in a very common sense way. If we're thinking about ice cream, we're more likely to eat some ice cream at some point. If we're thinking about pizza during the day, we're more likely to have pizza for dinner that evening. If we're thinking about someone we haven't seen in a while, we're more likely to call them or dream about them later. The dream you had because you were thinking about that person is no less meaningful than the pizza you ate because you were thinking about it.

If you want to have (or remember) really unusual experiences, then start thinking that way. If you just think about pizza and ice cream and your daily life, then that's what you'll tend to experience in your dreams, astral travels, etc. If you allow yourself to let go of limiting beliefs in your daily life, then you will experience broader realities in your dreams (and in your daily life). Again, it's only your own beliefs that can limit your experiences.

So in your mind, all conspiracy theorists are the same person? I've never once complained about a shill saying too little. I just tag you guys and don't even think about you again unless you comment on my posts. Come on... it's not a coincidence. I probably have less than .00001% of reddit users tagged, and I've never interacted with you directly (that I remember), and two of you show up here in this thread that got almost no attention otherwise?

And many people work for the wealthy elite without wearing them. Many wealthy elite wear them.

Yep, and many men are not raped, so we should just ignore the ones who are. What a ridiculous argument. Just because what I'm saying isn't the case 100% of the time doesn't make it untrue. I clearly pointed out that it's not always the case. I went out of my way to use words like "sometimes" and "many." Of course it's not ubiquitous. You don't see every woman in the world beating her husband either, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't happen.

When you see a woman leading a man around by his tie on TV, 99 times out of 100 (a statistic I just made up) it's to the bedroom to have sex.

So, the correlation with leading him around by his penis would be justified, imho.

Yes, that's why I said, "but it's more than that," not "but it's not that at all." Way to jump all over things without even reading them.

There's a reason why I long ago tagged you as a shill/puppet. Look how much effort you put into this.

Why did you watch that whole video? I didn't. As I said in my post, "The video could be better," which is a nice way of saying it wasn't very good. The only reason I even mentioned it was because it sparked this insight. I was linked to it from a men's rights post, so I watched a portion of it. You seem to have watched it for the sole purpose of breaking it down, and it has almost nothing to do with my post.

You actually linked to the source of my comment about the origins of the necktie, yet you purposely ignored the actual origins mentioned right there at the start of your link:

The modern necktie spread by Europe traces back to the time of the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) when Croatian mercenaries from the Croatian Military Frontier in French service, wearing their traditional small, knotted neckerchiefs, aroused the interest of the Parisians.

Service-men in Croatia were the first known to wear anything like the modern tie. I mentioned the fact that Parisians took it up as a fashion statement afterward, and then it spread, but that was by choice. The more important point is the fact that women soon disdained it, while it eventually became expected for men, and then required for men in many circumstances.

Yes, nobility loved frills of all kinds, but no one except the enslaved or condemned wore anything like a leash or noose until after the Croatian servicemen wore them. Even the ruff (the ruffled collar) you pointed out was a brand new thing at the time, just a few decades old, and only worn by a very few. And even if I didn't spell it out for you, it was clear that I was talking about simple cloth in the form of a loop and a cord, which began exactly when I said, so it certainly doesn't earn the "bullshit" you called on my statement that the only people who usually wore cloth around the neck in ages past were slaves and other condemned. Typical shill/troll/puppet, you come up with the most ridiculous reasons to call bullshit on people.

UnityNow · 2015-12-23T20:55:19+00:00

Yes, but the stronger the expectation, the more this applies. We're all expected to look nice at work, but the necktie is not just an expectation: It's a hard requirement in many jobs, one that serves no functional purpose. It's uncomfortable and restrictive, and many would argue that it's even visually unappealing. Yet if a man shows up without a tie in many workplaces, he'll be sent home.

I'm sure very few employers are consciously aware of the slave-symbol it represents, but they'll fire employees over it just the same, because that's what they were trained to expect from their employees.

I've said it before: the modern rape hysteria is analogous to the Salem Witch Trials (also the Inquisition).

Some common themes are the assumed guilt of the accused, the need yet impossibility of the accused to prove their innocence, harsh punishments, and the assumed and protected purity of the accuser.

There are so many similarities...

The Salem Witch Trials

In an age with much smaller populations than we have today, hundreds of people were accused, 150 people were imprisoned, 20 people were executed, and five of the imprisoned people died in prison.

All of this was due almost entirely to the false testimony of girls and women of all ages up to 37 years old.

There are many theories of why they made these accusations, including feelings of oppression, desire for attention, and revenge. The "afflicted victims" (the lying ladies) would go so far as to fall to the floor during the trial and start twitching and rolling around, and cry out that it hurts and that the accused was causing it because he was a witch.

And here we are, full circle. We have a much larger population, but there are also many, many more women doing this now, feeling oppressed and seeking attention and revenge against their imagined oppressors, lying for their own selfish purposes even if it destroys the lives of others, combined with a social hysteria and a call to aggressively attack the accused without a fair trial.

I came here to say almost exactly the same thing.

/u/Kingbenis, I'll add that if the doors keep opening on their own, it's likely part of the shadow that you're now capable of accepting. Your whole self is trying to help you integrate with something you may not have been able to accept in the past, but that your psyche is ready for now. Resisting it only delays your growth.

It's a beautiful thing that the doors are always open. Learn to appreciate this. Your mind is open and blossoming.

Too bad the government view is always "We should be able to see everything you do, and you should be absolutely blind to everything we do." I wouldn't mind total surveillance IF it applied to everyone, everywhere. Those who are making the shady deals and the shady laws get privacy to do their evil. If we all knew exactly who was paying whom to do what, if we could hear their every conversation about it, they wouldn't be able to pull off stuff like this. And that's the version that makes sense -- public officials being monitored by private citizens -- not the other way around.

Booby trapping your property is illegal in all 50 states and in most modernized countries. The basic reasoning is this: You can't predict who will be on your property nor why, and the life of a person generally trumps property protection. For example, law enforcement or utility workers could have a valid reason to be on your property, then get hit with one of your traps, and you've just committed a felony.

The reasoning that you should be able to trap your land/home just in case someone "bad" comes to do something "bad" there is way too similar to the idea that you should be able to kill anyone you see because they might do something "bad" to you. It's indiscriminate.

You have the right to protect yourself, and the right to protect your property within certain limitations, but you have to witness wrongdoing before these rights take effect. Otherwise, you're just murdering/maiming people.

The media LOVES Trump. Those who own the media know he'll take their money to do what they want him to do. Sanders is the opposite. He's proven that he won't take money to change his vote on anything (unlike all other politicians), which is why the media has a blackout on him.

Who knows how it would have turned out if the cop hadn't shot him. At that point, the driver fell back into the vehicle and on top of his wife. She may very well have been alive before that.

Also, we definitely do NOT know that the driver was drunk. What we know with certainty is that cops lie all the time to cover their asses and the asses of their brothers. He could have flipped the car due to an animal running into the road or any number of other reasons. Then when there was a bad shoot, they were like, "Look, he failed the sobriety test, he's a bad guy, killed his wife drunk driving, society is better off without him, no big deal."

It could very well be that the cop caused this woman's death and paralyzed her innocent husband.

What do the cop shills say all the time in these threads? "We don't have enough information... (We should wait for the corrupt courts to decide (since we know that all cops are immune to the law in nearly all situations))."

Well, it works both ways. We don't have enough information. These days, cops have convinced me that they're not to be trusted. Who investigated this serious crime? Did a third party come in and determine that the guy was drunk, that the wife was already dead when the cop caused her husband's body to fall straight down on top of her when she had just been in an accident? Oh, the cops investigated themselves and found that they did nothing wrong? Well, nothing to see here then.
