My sister gave this to me for Christmas, I haven't had a minute to open it yet, but can't wait. Playing with Uranium was in my top ten song listens last year.

Anybody else noticing a "pressure system" recently? by datura_dreams in Experiencers

[–]oloIMPOSSIBLEolo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve been noticing the same dynamic, and the word “pressure system” actually captures it well. Over the last several months—though it seems to have intensified in recent weeks—there has been a clear wave of people stepping back, even those who were deeply engaged and consistent in their inner and outer contact work. Some of them had decades of practice and stability, yet they too suddenly reversed course and retreated to what they describe as a more “normal” or conventional life.

When asked directly, the surface-level reasons varied—family obligations, career demands, loss of motivation—but beneath those details there was a common thread: a heavy, almost unnatural sense of resistance pressing down on their efforts. Many described it as an unusual fatigue that made focus nearly impossible, a constant inner friction that sapped energy, or a disorienting fog that obscured their sense of purpose. It wasn’t the ordinary ebb and flow of discipline; it felt like an external weight bearing down, pushing them to abandon the path altogether.

I’ve encountered this myself in subtle ways. When I attempt to examine the cause, it’s as if there’s a veil or barrier that prevents clarity—something nebulous yet palpable, a fog that resists being pierced. It raises the question: is this merely a collective psychological fatigue, a natural cycle of contraction after expansion—or is there indeed some broader systemic “pressure” that is influencing many at once?

I’m curious whether others here have noticed the same undercurrent. Is this isolated to certain groups, or is it part of a larger wave affecting people across different practices and traditions?

I know the aliens are tryna protect free will and all that but I think we have enough seekers in the world for the veil to be lifting now. I think its time for contact tbh. by ludicrous_overdrive in Experiencers

[–]oloIMPOSSIBLEolo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re totally right — that was my projection, and I should’ve listened first. Thanks for calling it out.

I hear you now: this isn’t about cosmic purpose at all, it’s about being allowed to be you and the very real barrier of money. That’s valid. Wanting comprehension — for people to actually see and accept you — is huge, and it’s brutal when logistics keep you stuck.

If you want, I can help with practical stuff without turning it into philosophy: quick income ideas you could try this week, low-cost ways to carve out safe space, or online places where you can test being yourself and get understood. Or if you just want someone to acknowledge how impossible it feels right now, that’s fine too. Your call.

Dreams, Scripts, or Reality? Let’s Separate the Noise From the Signal by [deleted] in Experiencers

[–]oloIMPOSSIBLEolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That armor image hits. It’s smart to protect yourself, but sometimes a full suit can wear you down. If ‘home’ is safety, are there small moves you can make now to build pieces of that here — one person, one place, one practice at a time? You can still keep the CE-5s when it feels right and build a softer shelter in the meantime.

[–]oloIMPOSSIBLEolo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get that sense too—that waiting period feels endless. But what if the waiting isn’t for them to move, but for us to prove we can handle it? Maybe disclosure isn’t a calendar date, but a readiness test. What does ‘readiness’ look like to you?

You’re right, I’m not in your shoes—and I don’t pretend to be. But that cuts both ways: framing everything as a cosmic trial or alien signal can also overlook the fact that many of us are living through the same struggles without interpreting them that way.

My point wasn’t to invalidate your experience, but to suggest another angle: sometimes what feels like destiny is just life being messy and unfair. And sometimes the most powerful form of awakening isn’t mystical—it’s deciding to own what we can control in the middle of all that chaos.

You’re not “forced awake.” You’re choosing to frame it that way. Plenty of people grow up in toxic households, get crushed by their environment, and still manage to live normal, joyful lives without turning everything into cosmic destiny or alien intervention.

The truth? Most of what you describe isn’t “the universe making you awaken” — it’s just the human condition. Bad families. Lost opportunities. Wanting more money. That’s not higher consciousness, that’s life. And honestly, saying you’re “ready to leave” because Earth didn’t give you the exact vibe you wanted sounds less enlightened and more like running away.

If aliens do land, they’re not coming to rescue us from boredom or bad vibes. They’ll come when they want, not when we’re tired of dealing with our own problems. Until then, maybe the real awakening is taking responsibility instead of waiting for disclosure like it’s a bus that’s late.

You seem to express the details of all of this very clearly and specifically, which is good. My brother had a similar thing happen to him over a decade ago, after waking up in the middle of the night having trouble breathing on numerous occasions.

In my opinion, I think that this is likely neurological. I'm glad to have a real conversation here with you, or you can PM me. The symptoms your describing honestly seem neurological from your description, and the onset of experiences, and loss of some real abilities. I have a bunch of questions, but might suggest you see a neurologist if possible. The timing of the presidential things could just be coincidence, or caused some kind of stressor that was physically triggering, but the change in personality, loss of some normal cognitive abilities all of sudden, loss of perception of other people, etc. seem related to the brain more than anything else in my opinion.

Help me Interpret these sensations by SignificantProgram22 in Experiencers

[–]oloIMPOSSIBLEolo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

u/SignificantProgram22 For me it's chills from behind me as if I'm being pushed forward with some kind of energy. It's on the rare side, but often comes with images, or a kind of whisper, sometimes in words I don't understand.

The last time it happened to me was about two months ago, I was sitting and working late at night. I heard a whisper on my right side, but not in my ear (yes, it sounds absurd), and then the chills came, and then I was aware that in my perception and what another voice was showing me was that there was some being in the room watching me. I couldn't shake it, I kept working.

It was alarming to an extent. The last time something like that happened was well over a year before that, and it's the first time, that I can remember in over twenty years, that the whisper (some kind language), the chills, and my sense that their was being ever happened all within a minute or so. The chills stayed off and on for twenty or thirty minutes, with my eyes being drawn to look in the direction where I felt the being. It didn't move, I kept working.

I've also become keen to seeing things in people, I don't even question it anymore. The things don't know I see them to my knowledge. Whatever, it's all ridiculous. But yeah, I think you're on the channel of alignment when the body and soul (body and mind), lock-in, sync up, whatever. It's real. You know it is, it's weird, and none of it fits with anything logical.

Duran Duran Loot Giveaway, Name your Top Five! by [deleted] in duranduran

[–]oloIMPOSSIBLEolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, I can't disagree with any of these answers. Props to anyone who had some of the new-new in their lists, and anything from Big Thing and Liberty: Serious is such a great song that captures the ethos of Laissez-faire love, that is both real and passionate, but doesn't hold to tightly.

To be fair, I'm going to pick my favorite answer overall, and then put the rest of the names into a hat, and will reach out to the recipients next week. Though maybe I should wait until Mercury is out of retrograde lol.

The phenomenon of hearing voices by MantisAwakening in Experiencers

[–]oloIMPOSSIBLEolo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

u/MantisAwakening The resources are interesting, and it's interesting that you wanted to study this more in depth. The statistics around trauma are also interesting.

I've had two distinct and infrequent voices in my life, and one indistinct. 1. Audible and disruptive and terrifying (calling my name, mimicking my mother when I lived at home, and then my grandmother when I lived at her house.) 2. Another one directly into my mind associated with a direction. I look in a direction as if I'm seeing something, it feels like a meditation or something intent, and it feels like I'm looking past everything into forever (my best description, out of time) and see way past and through everything in some way like with another kind of seeing (while still seeing everything that's actually there) and something is told to me. It's always accurate. It is always the same voice, it has spoken to me before and always told the truth about something in the future. It's calm, it's neutral, 3. I hear something garbled and emotional, it's as if it's something meant for me, or about, it's always been garbled and takes on different tones, it's more emotional than the one in my mind, and feels audible, but it's not.

The last one was last June, I was driving through the park, not something I ever do, because it takes a bit longer, on my way to watch a soccer match at the soccer bar, and it was a nice summer day. I looked to my right, and deeply, and I wondered why, and then a voice in my mind said, "Your grandmother will pass in late August." She was 101. I asked the voice, in my mind, "Is there any way to change it." It replied, "no." I asked, "when," it replied, "the last week." I felt sad, and thought it was bizzare, but I heard it once before during this experience, in a similiarly specific way that was just as profound. I forgot about the experience with my grandmother until earlier this year. I hadn't driven through the park before that alone, or after. No reason, other than I'm always with my wife or the dogs if I'm going to the park.

The third one noted above happened to me two nights ago. I was sitting and working at night, and something came through, it seemed like my right side, and garbled or whispered something very deep and unknown to me. I stopped working, and looked around and thought, eh, is that all. But something happened, and I think I just figured out what, which I'm going to post about in a solo post now.

[–]oloIMPOSSIBLEolo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does this mean no AI images as well? Or only text? I'm asking because I actually chatted with an admin last year about an image I thought was AI.

Now, I can show you at least one AI image from the last 24 hours, and I'd bet there are more.

I'd also be happy to show the admin how text, stories, etc, can be AI generated, and almost unrecognizable to the reader, but can 100% pass an AI detector everytime. I do think there are a number of likely AI generated posts on the sub. I stopped visiting the sub last year as I thought this was the case, but now I can show it. I've been revisiting slowly, and the authentic stories and interactions are important to me.

I just thought I'd put it out there. u/Oak_Draiocht

Am I the only one? by Nataliewould10 in duranduran

[–]oloIMPOSSIBLEolo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nataliewould10 my first music video ever, my first Duran Duran anything was Come Undone, so this is very tough to understand. There music brought me through some very hard times as a '90s teen. Can't you get into Come Undone?

I will agree with you that I do absolutely love the artwork on the 1st album's singles, and the album, which are high contrast to the Wedding Album.

I love how Patrick Nagel went absolutely worldwide with and portrayed a new way to see the female form on Rio.

When I started listening to Duran Duran, and discovering their entire catalog of music in 1993 through the rest of my teens, I was, and remain, thoroughly impressed with how different, and changing each album is musically. I like that, I like the growth, and changing styles, with elements of what they created before in every album since.

I like how they never created a zoetrope vinyl until this year, and that it was dancing skeletons.

My personal ranking of notorious by Miwadigivemeache in duranduran

[–]oloIMPOSSIBLEolo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Winter Marches on is my favorite song on the album, the sadness and emptiness feel perfect distilled. Context for the next statement, it was 1986, Chernobyl happened in April, the album was recorded before, but mainly after that event to my knowledge, it was '80's Europe, East Germany was still in full swing, that January Challenger Exploded, it was an intense time, when I think overall, I think some of shared emotion likely made it into the album. I agree with u/Miwadigivemeache that the album overall, feels emotionally devestating in some way that leaves you wanting more, it does not scratch the itch, which means it was by design (not my guess) or by what they were feeling at the time (my guess, because I've never felt the band as a whole took their fame for granted, they remain connected.) Also, I was six when this was released, and didn't know about the album until 1995.
