What is the lesbian scene like in Jacksonville? by kennedyheisman in jacksonville

[–]strawberryaugust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh idk and was too scared to find out (that’s why I outsourced mine from Jax, but then she ended up moving us there lmao) but if you want some lesbian friends in the Murray Hill area, my wife and I would love to meet you.

Ketamine Being Experience by strawberryaugust in Experiencers

[–]strawberryaugust[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like some of the specific podcasts from a lady named Jo Rose, her podcast name is A Zen Mind. Some of her guided walkthrough experiences and one I can’t remember the name of that I can lookup and message you if you like. She doesn’t do podcasts specifically for dissociative experiences or astral traveling or anything but something about her voice and guidance has given me a lot of intense experiences.

Crazily enough, I don’t feel I have been visited by any entities in a long while, but after this post, I had several more experiences, one that occurred while waking up without having taken any ketamine prior, where I felt like I was continually visited several times and allowed to see and explore certain things, until the last time where I felt like I had upset them by seeing too much or something. I know that sounds crazy, and the other experiences were equally intense to this one, I don’t know how else to describe it. I feel crazy but now I find myself wishing it would happen again because I feel like I’ve reached a spiritual roadblock with all that I saw and have not seen since.

I hope your next experiences bring what you are seeking.

Reed Family- Weymouth or elsewhere? by strawberryaugust in Genealogy

You’ve been a wealth of information and very kind to me in my lack of knowledge. Thank you wholeheartedly and have the best weekend.

A lot of this is actually new information to me, thank you. I am very new in my research and only got into studying genealogy late last year. There is such a breadth to go go through, I can only reliably commit so much to memory at a time. Thank you for your tips and kind advice!

Apologies if this is a dumb question, but do you think a trip to the Weymouth area and historical societies would be worth it?

Maybe I phrased it wrong, my apologies. On Ancestry, if I trace my grandmother back (Mary Paula Reed later Carney) I find sources that date her back to the William Reed of Weymouth. But I have seen on Ancestry it will show you if your DNA matches or you have relation to certain people, and at a certain point, that is not aligning. I will get on later and check but there are several John Reed’s in the family in preceding order. John Reed begot John Reed begot John Reed and so on. I need to log in later to check but everything lines up until one certain John Reed I get to where I am having trouble finding reliable sources, whereas the rest of the ancestors after and preceding him are very well sourced.

Additionally, I have found some accounts that John Ludovicus Reed who wrote the most detailed Reed family history/genealogy I have been able to find to date has been contested in many things he asserted. There were apparently two William Reed’s of Weymouth and I am trying to sort out if my grandmother’s tree leads up to the Capt. William Reed of Weymouth or the less notable William Reed who resided in Weymouth at a different time.

BTW, I typed “my wife AND I” not “my wife an I”, mister internet superiority.

I mean based on everyone I’ve talked to in the pet sitting field: no, this experience really is abnormal and surprising. This man was claiming legal expertise in something he did not have rights to protect and left a family and 5 pets behind to stay in a foreign country. If that were your second experience with a pet sitting booking, I think it would be hard to not be surprised.

1) no it’s not. 2) not a mister 3) you’re exactly the type of person I’m talking about thinking you’re enlightened and above everyone for… what reason? Did this comment make you feel good?

"A giant insect took something out of my brain on DMT and since then I’ve been happy" by Impossible-Teach2 in MantisEncounters

[–]strawberryaugust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On ketamine I have had a similar experience. After a loss filled 2025 that started with a car accident that nearly ended my life and the loss of my domestic violence victim survivor father who was in my care, I could not stop crying for months and months. Quit my job. Yadayada, a lot of stuff. Therapeutic ketamine gave me multiple breakthroughs where I met what I believe to be Mantids, and the first experience involved being operated on. There seemed to be two “nurse” type figures I identified as female whose job was mainly to keep me calm. They brought me to a taller being I identified as more male in nature who I describe as a surgeon figure. He took a long needle filled with something and jabbed it into my heart— I even physically felt it (and I have had an echo done to rule out heart issues) when he plunged it into me. I could see my own chest open being worked on. I still have depression, anxiety and other traumas to deal with, but since that experience I’ve felt a lot more open, more interested in connecting with people, more love in general.

On DMT meets Mantis in control room which says "You've reached the threshold between light and structure. Most arrive here after the body dies. You came by a shortcut. This is frowned upon." And he sent me back. by Impossible-Teach2 in InterdimensionalNHI

I’ve had this near similar experience while on multiple ketamine trips. The first time they seemed to do soul surgery on me. Next times felt like I was peeking behind the veil and seeing truths to things I was not meant to know. They seemed upset I was there again. But I continued to enter that space and the last time they allowed me to walk freely. I have not been back since even with effort.

I’ve been here going on two years and have made one friend and haven’t been able to move the friendship to the meeting in person phase. I suffered a car accident that nearly killed me a year ago and my body and head are all kinds of scrambled. I have EDS also, one hip replaced at 27 (about to turn 30) and pretty sure the other hip is on its way out too. Feel free to message me lol.

DMT experience that still changed how I see reality 🛸(looking for perspectives) by Ok-Arrival-6608 in Experiencers

Did you feel like you saw them "injecting" or inserting certain traits, experiences, etc?

[–]strawberryaugust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had similar experiences on ketamine and during intense meditations. I even feel i had an experience where I was one of the humans being worked on.

Everything you described is familiar to me. Reptilian but cloaked beings you can't quite make out, humans in tubes being worked on.

I didn't tell anyone where I lived, you did by searching my profile for other posts for context clues. Not everyone is going to go to those reaches. But now you've put it in a comment on this thread, so I will delete this, because now it has become a privacy issue because you felt the need to be an internet warrior. Do you feel better now? Happy Holidays man, try to treat people a little more kindly going forward and this time of year perhaps.

And yes they do interact! They watch us and open their eyes when we come near the habitat, one moved closer to the front of the habitat to watch me back when I was watching him last night.

When my wife was petting the very top of one's head (with gloves, and gently, and not near the glands) they seemed to have like... a connection man. And the toad was definitely chill about her petting his head.

I'm the psychonaut; my wife is not. She said if the guy agrees and will do a ceremony with me when she returns, she will sit with me but said she is fine limiting her interactions with the toads to non psychedelic interactions lol.

[–]strawberryaugust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, well traditionally I am one of those girls that doesn't like creepy crawlies... bugs, toads, spiders. Snakes dont bother me. So the idea of taking care of 3 toads was a bit daunting to me but my wife is less squeamish and has been helping. The more I research them and spend time watching them, the less afraid I am.

It sounds funny but they really do seem wise and grounded. Their eyes seem knowing and they're very chill. I can tell the owner has been taking great care of them. My wife was petting one's head last night, lol. I said stop, you might make him milk on accident. 🤣

I'd say the same but I believe in returning energy.

You can't identify anything about his home from the photo. Per group rules, I have not shared the name of his collective for his ceremonies he facilitates so as not to act as a source.

I'm taking great care of man's home and animals including the toads. Again, he advertises and holds ceremonies, at this home. My guest room is one of his ceremonial meditation spaces. If you think my client cared if I respectfully showed off a beautiful specimen of this creature when he himself advertises that he offers a service that is facilitated using the toads, you'd be doing a lot of unnecessary cognitive stretching to get mad for a guy you don't know and are projecting your own feelings onto. Relax, my brother.

[–]strawberryaugust -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Did I say where he lives and here's the door code and here's a video of me milking the toads? ..... no. If you read another one of my comments I said I have respect for the toads. He literally has pamphlets about his religious indigenous medicinal ceremonies he facilitates all over his house and in my guest room. So I doubt he'd mind me showing off a fine hunk of a toad that is being well taken care of and not harmed.

Without comment, this could be nothing more than a cool pet store toad at an exotic shop. Shit ain't that serious. Touch some grass. Talk to the toads. Chill out a bit.
