u/BittenBagel · 5 pointsr/Paranormal

If the figure at the end of your bed is vantablack then it is probably a djinn shadow being (they go by other names as well). This type of being mainly called the Djinn has a long history that goes way back many many centuries. You can find a great amount of info about it in this book The Djinn Connection: The Hidden Links Between Djinn, Shadow People, ETs, Nephilim, Archons, Reptilians and Other Entities.

As a commenter mentions, make sure all windows and doors are shut to keep the smoke in your home for a little while and then air out your home later.

Try burning Cedar Sage, after burning white sage, to welcome more positive entities into your household. Lavender smudge sticks also are known for bringing protection. Hope you try the smudging again! Some positive affirmations while smudging will help as well! Good luck!

P.S. Repost this in this sub-reddit as well! More stories are needed and a good community that my have some nice responses The Truth is Here

u/Pickleburp · 23 pointsr/Thetruthishere

Sure. :) I was trying not to hijack the thread, but I'll just put the list here and that way anyone can have it. Keep in mind, these aren't all collections of stories, some of them are research topics, but none of them that I've browsed through look like bad reads. The ones I have read I've tried to note.

Iroquois Supernatural: Talking Animals and Medicine People - Michael Bastine, Mason Winfield - most closely related to thread topic

Life After Life - Raymond Moody - Very good intro to Near Death Experience research

Reunions: Visionary Encounters with Departed Loved Ones - Raymond Moody

Journey of Souls - Michael Newton - Read this one, it was great, changed my views on reincarnation

The Day Satan Called - Bill Scott

Hunt for the Skinwalker - Colm Kelleher, George Knapp - read parts of, need to finish

The Vengeful Djinn - Rosemary Ellen Guiley - I've read this one, it's really good too, has a large "slow" section in the middle that quotes the Q'uran a lot, but some good creepy Djinn stories.

The Djinn Connection - Rosemary Ellen Guiley

Ghost Culture: Theories, Context, and Scientific Practice - John Sabol

Zones of Strangeness - Peter A. McCue

Lost Secrets of Maya Technology - James O'Kon

The Mythology of Supernatural - Nathan Robert Brown - this one might sound cheesy, but I've read a book on world mythology by the same author, and apparently the writers of the show did their research

Holy Ghosts: Or How a (Not-So) Good Catholic Boy Became a Believer in Things That Go Bump in the Night - Gary Jansen

u/Cyrusk4 · 2 pointsr/CosmicDisclosure

Yes I've read that book. Monroe and Buhlman corner the market, but the best author about OBEs is Jurgen Ziewe (Multidimensional Man) because he has a more concise picture of the astral worlds (AKA 4th density and higher realms).

Not quite spontaneously - it was more about finally overcoming the fear of the initial stages. You may feel electric tingles as your body disconnects, so you have to push through that and realize it's safe and harmless.

Lucid dreams and OBEs sometimes mesh together, but they're not always the same. The Crowley experience was definitely an OBE because I felt myself leave my body (in fact I felt Crowley gently tugging me out of it). Sometimes, however, a lucid dream is just stuff inside your subconscious, so you have to be conscious and have intent to go to a "real" realm and not one in your mind. Surprisingly, much of the "nearby" astral world is similar to this world but with a lot of added perks. I've been to bars and restaurants.

My book is at: https://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Life-After-Death-Exploration/dp/0692529179/

u/obiwanjacobi · 5 pointsr/conspiracy

It depends on what you're interested in really. You can get the general explanation of Federal Reserve, Illuminati, 9/11, CIA, NSA, etc from just about any YouTube video. Some books that have recently opened my mind to other topics, however include:

The Source Field Investigations by David Wilcock - The best written and most well-sourced book I've read concerning alternative history, conspiracy theories, suppressed science, and a host of other topics. Main thesis being that consciousness is a nonlocal field.

Fingerprints of the Gods by Graham Hancock - Some of the best evidence out there for a lost civilization which fell out of power and memory sometime around the end of the ice age. A bit outdated, but a sequel is due this year.

Genesis Revisted by Zecharia Sitchin - Read this if you want to understand why some people think the Annunaki are a thing. Some interesting info, but I don't really buy into it that much.

Dark Mission by Richard Hoagland - Occult history of NASA, coverups of what was found on the Moon, Mars, and some suppressed science.

The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot - Exactly what it sounds like

Rather than reading about the same theories in different words over and over, these books gave me perspective on possible reasons why TPTB do what they do. And an idea on what some deeper purpose for their intensive consumerism propaganda might be for, other than profit. Additionaly they exposed me to new/old ideas on what the universe fundamentally is and how it works, with some good science to back it up. Highly recommend all of these books.

u/LillyAnn_Unukalhai · 2 pointsr/Lenormand

It doesn't matter where you buy it. That one from walmart for 10$ is really cheap, so check the quality of cards. Once I both a really cheap tarot deck with a little book. When I came home and open it, it showed up that the cards were literally made of paper without any coat. Later, I coated the cards with plastic at the local photocopier shop. I use these cards and like them a lot.

It doesn't really matter if you buy your cards in Walmart, Amazon or Metaphysical shop. All cards come from the factory of mass production. What really matters is to buy a new unused deck, which means no second-hand deck. The deck absorbs the energy of the user so you want the deck which was not used before.

My recommendation regarding which deck to buy is one of the standard decks such as Dondorf Lenormand or Blue Owl Lenormand, but it doesn't really matter... Go for the deck that you like. Rana George's Lenormand is quite pretty and new deck yet it follows the traditional images and meanings. Another very popular deck is Ciro Marchetti Gilded Lenormand. You can check them on Amazon to see how they look like

u/TheBuddha777 · 1 pointr/INTP

Well the most likely way the planets could affect anything, would be in the different gravitational configurations they form as they move. Somehow that creates a kind of consciousness-affecting "weather pattern" on earth, where certain emotions/personality traits are emphasized and certain types of events are more likely than others. What's the mechanism? Well if you believe that galaxies or the Universe could have their own form of consciousness (I've lost you here, haven't I) and we exist in some kind of "field" of consciousness (as every native/shamanic culture believed) then the gravitational fields could have a lens-effect, acting as a prism, either filtering out or strengthening certain "wavelengths" of the overall Consciousness field here on earth.


I could go on in this vein, but I'll just say that I believe we live in both a Holographic Universe and an associative Universe, and possibly even a quantum computer or any number of things we can't even imagine.


At one point I thought maybe the gravitational fields might influence personality by affecting Meiosis, but that wouldn't explain how they also affect world events at any given time (and that's what Astrology has mostly been used for throughout history, determining the best time to do something, like start a war).

u/GuitarGreg · 0 pointsr/Psychonaut

I've had good luck with Alan Watts (yeah, cliché I know, but he is good fun to read), Michael Talbot's The Holographic Universe, and Stanislov Grof's LSD: Doorway to the Numinous.

EDIT: Talbot refers to David Bohm quite a bit. Never checked him out but I think he has some rather interesting ideas about the nature of reality, from a quantum mechanical perspective. Still have to look into this.

u/Fallenangel152 · 5 pointsr/Ghosts

A few points about the Enfield Poltergeist;

u/glorydays73 · 1 pointr/PsychedelicReligion

Fine article on a fascinating subject. I reckon you are familiar with Talbot's book (http://www.amazon.com/The-Holographic-Universe-Revolutionary-Reality/dp/0062014102) and Copenhaguen interpretation of quantum physics & Bell's theorem. After years of reading, I see now hua yen visionary ontology as the only system that can fully integrate all this. Tu-Shun treactise on the Darmadhattu, or Fa-Tsang's "Golden lion" are beautiful mixing of contemplative mystics and analytical approach. Go for that, you won't be disappointed.

u/FatesPeak · 1 pointr/religion

Hey, I wrote a book that's loosely based on the Ragnarok myth (it's post-apocalyptic, where the apocalypse is the destruction of the entire Universe. The story is about the creation of a new world for the survivors to occupy.) It would be great to get feedback from you so I can know how best to describe it--when I wrote it I meant it as a critique of the Abrahamic faith, which I think is too geo-centric. I wanted to use a more cosmic apocalypse to expand the Abrahamic faith to the cosmic level.

From the research I did it seemed like Ragnarok leads to the destruction of all the realms, but it ends with the promise that a new realm would be created for the survivors to inhabit. Is this correct?

The book is here: https://www.amazon.com/Fates-Peak-Scott-Volentine-ebook/dp/B07MLGY3SS

u/Zero-Anxiety · 2 pointsr/MorbidReality

Best place to start for overview of skeptical philosophy from ancient through modern times: http://www.amazon.com/Skepticism-Anthology-Richard-H-Popkin/dp/1591024749.

Afterwards, select the most intriguing philosophers and read them in more detail.

Also, read anything about quantum theory and modern cosmology.

This is a great starting point that will,also amaze you:

u/HammStar · 10 pointsr/conspiracy

Graham Hancock's research is fascinating, and he draws some very observable and plausible parallels. The book A Trojan Feast :The Food and Drink Offerings of Aliens, Faeries, and Sasquatch by Joshua Cutchin is another great in depth look into the importance and parallels of food and substances in the faye stories of yesteryear, and some modern abduction experiences. Both researchers are great because they are unbiased and objective.

u/atreyuno · 2 pointsr/awakened

Thank you. I'll check that video out now.

It could be that the pain isn't from the thought but from the egoic response to the thought. It's unlikely the experiment my colleagues teacher had accounted for this. If that could be shown it would affirm that egoic response is the creation of suffering even on the smallest scale of a single unobserved thought. :)

I haven't heard of Gary Weber. Will look him up as well. Thank you.

Have you looked at the book The Holographic Universe? It meshes well with Alan Watts and Eckhart Tolle and is the crux of my education of the scientific basis for non duality.

u/[deleted] · 2 pointsr/literature

Gotcha. I'll give you one more suggestion then, a little out of left field: the Rev Sabine Baring-Gould. Nineteenth century folklorist/amateur anthropologist/bad romance novelist. Talks a lot about how old superstitions develop into folklore which then, of course, develops into literature. Here, here, here, and a personal favourite, the first chapter of this collection. Needless to say I think all those books are well worth reading for no reason at all, just cause they're really interesting books.





u/d8_thc · 4 pointsr/holofractal

If you're looking for mainstream understandings of holofractal, checkout David Bohm's implicate/explicate order, and deBrogile-Bohm / Pilot Wave theory.

These are mainstream interpretations of quantum theory that intrinsically require the cosmos to be correlated non-locally, across time and space.

This is the tl;dr of it - all points in space and time are connected (entangled).

There's a great book called The Holographic Universe, which while not being largely based on physics, is a great philosophical understanding.

u/Solvoid · 1 pointr/AskReddit

Holographic Universe

Let me know if any of these sound interesting to you and I can refer you to more similar ones. These books have changed my life and helped me learn a lot, they are some of the best books I have ever read.

u/plasmate777 · -2 pointsr/Tulpas

Both you and your tulpas can use your innate metaphysical abilities to synchronistically influence components of your reality to keep your life from being unnecessarily difficult.

Because mind affects matter at the quantum level, an inner consciousness shift will create an outer physical shift. In other words, the inner and outer worlds are loosely coupled. The probability of personal life events changes in response to deep changes in your mental and emotional landscape. Consciousness affects reality in a synchronistic way, thereby bypassing the deterministic laws of science. Life literally turns around and begins pointing in a new direction, and miracles become the norm. You just have to decide to let this be possible for you and it will be, in the same way that you must decide to let tulpas be real for you in order to experience them. It's not always easy to change your views about what is possible, but your tulpas can help if you ask them to.

I know that sounds pretty far out but there is some hard science behind it, and it just works. Here is one place where you can go to get an understanding of the physics behind how this works: http://www.amazon.com/The-Holographic-Universe-Revolutionary-Reality/dp/0062014102

u/Avo69 · 11 pointsr/conspiracy

You've got my upvote. For those interested in understanding this topic but wanting to start with more basic ideas, I suggest "The Holographic Universe" by Michael Talbot. It does an excellent job of introducing this theory to beginners. https://www.amazon.com/Holographic-Universe-Revolutionary-Theory-Reality/dp/0062014102

u/opajax · 1 pointr/JoeRogan

Thats what I used to think as well. Just bunch of pseudo science religious words put together. However, the more I go around the sun, and the more deeper I go down the rabbit hole, the more and more that very FIRST album makes more sense. Sure, some may be considered pseudo science to some, but they are definitely not just put together willy nilly.

Have you read the earth chronicles, or The Holographic Universe ? Or listened to some Jordan Maxwell? Maybe some Michael Tsarion?

u/jeexbit · 1 pointr/Psychonaut

The holographic universe by micheal talbot you should soon!

Incredibly well layed out in this book. Whats fascinating is how this is really an extention of the Golden Mean movement which science is slowly catching up to.

u/CrazyInAnInsaneWorld · 1 pointr/creepy

Got a book to recommend. Michael Talbot's The Holographic Universe Dr. Talbot bases his theory on the structure of the universe on the Holographic principle and brings up many ways he hypothesizes that NDE's/OBE's, as well as "Past Life Memories" are not necessarily our experiences, but are still materially a part of us. It puts an entirely new perspective on Lawrence Krauss' "We are stardust..." quote.

It should give you an interesting shift in perspective to the event listed here.

"The Holographic Universe" book blew my mind. Great read. Explains this all in depth then goes into how this model can explain things we previously viewed as impossible/paranormal/miracles.

Thanks for mentioning "holograms". If you ever get the chance, read The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot.

u/spectregris · 1 pointr/occult

I would suggest a book called The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot, it was a huge help to me a few years back on the science and spirit reconciliation. If it works for you I don't see any problem with cutting out the spiritual (woo-woo not necessarily development of spiritiual self) stuff, as schools such as Chaos magick tend to do the same with good results.

I'm currently looking at UCSD to transfer for my Cognitive Science BA, from what I've read they're one of the best schools in the world for it because it's not a "branch" of the Psychology department, it's an entity completely unto itself. Also, they were like the first university to have their own CS department a decade ago, so they've been at it the longest.

I just ordered a book by one of their professors, on the neuroscience of zombie brains. Seems hype, I'll let you know how it goes.

NLP and Machine Learning are what I want to focus on too, I'm mostly interested in trying to get the "social" aspect of AI human-like enough to approximate humanity. Even if it's a weak AI, "If you can't tell the difference, does it matter?"

Also, hell man, it's probably not too late if you're really about that life. There's plenty of online courses that you can take that would supplement your existing knowledge enough to make a go of it. edX has a Micromasters in AI from Columbia coming up that you can jump on, we could totally be study buddies.

There is some scientific proof for precognition. Check out the work of Dr. Julia Mossbridge, including ‘The Premonition Code’:

https://www.amazon.com/Premonition-Code-Science-Precognition-Sensing/dp/1786781611/ref=nodl_

She describes it like a stone in a river, which changes the water past it, but also the water in front of it. The bigger the stone (or emotional impact of the event), the more change occurs.

u/drhaywoodjackson · 1 pointr/dancarlin

This is what came to my mind when I read your question.

I read this book a few years ago and if memory serves there is the story of a civilian airline pilot (not a commercial one, but one guy in a tiny aircraft thing) who is flying through some fog and swoops down to get his bearings. As he descends through the fog he sees a couple hundred men marching along an empty road and as he gets closer he sees they're dressed as Roman legionaries. He circled around them a few times and followed them but eventually they just disappeared into the mist.

According to the pilot he did check with local reenactment groups in the area to see if they were operating in the locality but apparently nobody was. The place where this happened, Cheshire in England, was the site of a large Roman garrison at one point and there's a few tales like this where people have reported seeing either individual Roman soldiers or, like the pilot, whole groups of Roman soldiers. Believe it or not, it's pretty cool to read about.

u/ForkTongue · 2 pointsr/occult

For Pythagoras I'd go with The Pythagorean Sourcebook and Library. I'm not too familiar with Leibniz' version of the monad but in general, something that gave me insight into the monad, rightly or wrongly, was The Holographic Universe.

Had the same question. Found them, I think. Wanted to pass it on to you:

> telling people that it should be believed

You're projecting.



Communicating telepathically isn't magic. What you believe to be magic is actually just science that you cannot grasp.


That doesn't mean that others can't though.

murrry is the man...totally abrasive when he talks to you, but he knows anything and everything you wanna know about the city. He was one of the guys, along with Jamie Caskey (https://www.amazon.com/Haunted-Savannah-Americas-Most-Spectral-ebook/dp/B00E3WI2ZG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1518116182&sr=8-1&keywords=haunted+savannah) that trained me to be a tour guide when i was there about 8 years ago. I highly suggest these two books!

It's actually a hologram.

You might look into the thoughts of the famous quantum physicist, David Bohm. Bohm's theory is that the universe is holographic, that nothing is separate and that everything is in everything. Sound a bit mystical? Well, it seems the worlds of quantum physics and the ancient Taoist masters have no problem shaking hands. You might enjoy "The Holographic Universe" by Michael Talbot, which discusses Bohm, and which also addresses the brain, consciousness and the mind. Talbot was gifted at taking deeply complex subjects and conveying them simply. BOOK

If you're really serious about this, then I urge you to read the following book http://www.amazon.com/Irreducible-Mind-Toward-Psychology-Century/dp/1442202068 & http://www.amazon.com/Holographic-Universe-Revolutionary-Theory-Reality/dp/0062014102

That will give you a better idea how weak the foundation for the hypothesis of materialism is.

What 'Amaelyn' said, "...as we are powerful manifesters" rings very true for me.

I think that amidst all the chaos going on in the world, the Earth itself as a collective form of consciousness is about to hit a major fork in the road.

Here are some good excerpts from The Holographic Universe that I think are rather good.

> "There are nineteen documented cases of people who had precognitive glimpses of the sinking of the Titanic -- some were experienced by passengers who paid attention to their premonitions and survived, some were experienced by passengers who ignored their forebodings and drowned, and some were experienced by individuals who were not in either of these two categories. Such incidents strongly suggest that the future is not set, but is plastic and can be changed.... this view brings with it a problem. If the future is still in a state of flux... how can the future both exist and not exist?....

>...[Loye] believes that reality is a giant hologram, and in it the past, present, and future are indeed fixed, at least up to a point. The rub is that it is not the only hologram. There are many such holographic entities floating in the timeless and spaceless waters of the implicate, jostling and swimming around one another like so many amoebas. Such holographic entities could also be visualized as parallel worlds, parallel universes.

>Thus, the future of any given holographic universe is predetermined, and when a person has a precognitive glimpse of the future, they are tuning into the future of that particular hologram only.... and when we act upon a premonition and appear to alter the future, what we are really doing is leaping from one hologram to another."

What I feel they're saying is that while one might be believing disaster is going to occur in the near future... it doesn't mean disaster for all. And by manifesting, believing in an apocalyptic future, one might literally be making the conscious choice to leap to that hologram while your friend might choose to leap to a different hologram.

It's not that these two individuals find themselves separated then... for just as the universe would be multi-dimensional, with many holograms of choosing, so would the individual... if you choose to go the path of the apocalyptic future, you will then experience the version of your friends/family that have also made that leap to that hologram.

They're called "Shadow People," and there is a large number of reported encounters with them.

They can vary in behavior, and how frequent they visit. Though, I will say, it's odd how sometimes people have paranormal encounters around the 3rd hour in the morning.

Anyways, it doesn't sound like this shadow person meant you harm, as there was no description of it attempting to attack you. But I could be wrong. Often when an entity is negative in nature, things like prayer send it away.

The person who knows the most about Shadow People, is paranormal researcher, Rosemary Ellen Guiley. You can search her name and shadow people on YouTube for videos. Or you can read her book about shadow people here.
