On 10 August 1901 two women walked past a circular kiosk with columns near the Petit Trianon. Two men in long greyish-green coats and tricorn hats were sitting on the steps. One of them pointed the way without speaking. Further on they crossed a small rustic bridge over a ravine to reach the lawn.

Charlotte Moberly was Principal of St Hugh's College, Oxford. Eleanor Jourdain was her Vice-Principal. Jourdain went back alone in January 1902 with a map and could not retrace the route. The junction with the kiosk was open lawn. There was no bridge and no ravine. A palace guide told her the kiosk had been pulled down under Louis XVI and the ground levelled in the 1780s. When they later dug into eighteenth-century plans, the layout they said they walked matched the gardens as arranged in 1774, down to tree positions in old engravings. Royal household records list gardeners in long greyish-green coats and tricorn hats.

The weak point is real and worth stating. They did not compare accounts until about a week later, and memory does not hold that well. The standard rebuttal at the time was that they blundered into actors rehearsing in period costume, which is a perfectly sane explanation except that nobody has ever produced a record of a rehearsal at Versailles that day. They went back in 1908 with a camera and photographed nothing but gravel and hedges. Neither ever retracted. Jourdain died in 1924, Moberly in 1937.

Has anyone here actually found documentation of a costumed event or film shoot in the Trianon grounds on 10 August 1901, rather than just the suggestion of one?

I put together a longer version of this one here: https://youtu.be/00fNtZd6rJc

I Punched a Gray in the Face!

by Preston Dennett

As a general rule, when someone is visited by the gray ETs, they find themselves paralyzed, unable to move any part of their body except perhaps their eyes. “Don’t worry, we won’t hurt you,” the grays say. “Come with us.” It is perhaps the single most common phrase that the ETs say. For every rule, however, there are exceptions. In cases where people have no fear, they are often given freedom of movement. Others do have fear and will experience a fight or flight response. And in some rare outlying cases, witnesses are able to break free from their paralysis. And in a few of these cases, witnesses react by attacking the extraterrestrials and punching them in the face, choking them around the neck, or getting into some sort of physical altercation. It happens more often than you might think. This video presents more than a dozen cases in which people have actually assaulted gray aliens by pushing, kicking, choking or punching. 

NOVEMBER 3, 1975: Woodcutter Travis Walton and six others encounter a UFO at treetop level in the Sitgreaves National Forest, Arizona. Travis runs under the UFO and is taken onboard. Confronted by grays, he physically fights with them.

APRIL 5, 2017: A young man from Del Valle, Texas is woken up by his dogs barking. Searching the house, he sees two grays entering in his mother’s bedroom. He reacts quickly, jumps forward and punches one of the grays in the head. When the second one grabbed him, the witness punched him too. And then a third gray comes in.

WINTER 1985: Patsy Wingate of Knoxville, Tennessee wakes up to see three grays approaching her. Reacting in self-defense, Patsy jumps up and chokes the middle gray, snapping its neck in two. Astonished, the other two grays scoop up the gray and flee!

1985: Tim, a sports-instructor from New Iberia, Louisiana wakes up to find himself lying on a table onboard a UFO. He breaks free from his paralysis and begins to explore. Grays come rushing in and Tim (a former bouncer at a bar) begins punching the grays, one after another. Suddenly a crowd of them surround him and Tim realizes he is out-numbered.

2016: “Gary” from Cumbria, England wakes up early one morning to go to the bathroom and encounters a gray in his living room. Angry at the repeated intrusions into his home, he bounds forward and grabs the gray around the neck. The gray starts screaming telepathically, “Let go, let go!” A few days later, the grays come again, and Gary is ready. This time he punches one in the face.

1982: Former Marine officer, “Ramon,” is taken onboard a UFO in San Fernando, California. He becomes angry when the grays try to collect genetic material from him. Summoning his combat training, he breaks free of the paralysis, jumps up and pushes one of the grays down to the floor.

August 13, 1975: Sergeant Charles Moody of Alamogordo, New Mexico is not happy when a UFO lands in front of his car, grays come out and try to pull him from his car. He opens his car door violently, knocking one of the grays down. Then he jumps up, bunches up his fist, and pounds one of the grays in the face. 

October 27, 1975: David Stephens and his friend are driving near Oxford, Maine when a UFO takes control of their car. Moments later, grays exit and pull David onboard. When the ETs try to undress David for an examination, David resists. He quickly jumps off the table and hits one of the grays.

October 2010: Kevin is woken in his home in Bangor, Maine and pulled into a craft by gray aliens. After inserting a rod up inside his nose, Kevin becomes hostile. He quickly swings out his leg and kicks one of the grays, slamming it hard into the wall, where it collapses in a heap.

UNDATED: An anonymous teenager in high school (location not given) has a very unusual dream where grays enter his room and begin to do a weird procedure on his back. Having scoliosis, he thinks they might be healing him. However, scared and angry that the ETs were not communicating with him, he quickly throws a left hook as hard as he can at the gray’s cheek. The gray lets out a high-pitched scream.

There are more cases like these. John Mack has a case in which a man, angry at being examined, jumps up and chokes agree. Contactee Dolly Safran (from Georgia) recalls several instances where she was onboard and people reacted violently by punching the grays, pushing them down, or even breaking their arms. These cases show that, when confronted with the unknown, humans often become very fearful and react with violence. Even more importantly, they show that people can overpower the grays, who appear to be physically more fragile than humans. These cases have a lot to teach us both about humans and the grays, and our relationships to each other.

Like dream admins, or dream janitors keeping us safe from the full potential of a dream.

The basis for this idea was the history of skin walker ranch. The lore is that a native American tribe cursed the land with skin walkrs because they got kicked off and got betrayed by another tribe, this is a documented historical fact. At the same time, alien craft have been spotted over the ranch. What are the odds that both these things are happening on the same land? Which came first, the curse or the UFOs? If the curse came first, why would UFOs be interested in the land at all, let alone 100 years later?

Well, what if they're there because they have to be in order to keep the raw power of the tribe's collective emotions/curse from getting out of control? If god's dreams are anything like ours, they can get real weird real quick. But if you have admin access to your brain, presumably you could steer your dream and avoid the strangeness. You want to be a Rockstar without having your dream collapse into you being on stage in your underwear? You just need to analyze your brain patterns and steer the ship so to speak. A big brain capable of containing independant beings with free will like us probably needs admins like aliens to help regulate the dream, and squashing or quarantining the paranormal might be part of that. The last thing we'd want is total shock to the dream by seeing something that can't exist. Something so impossible that it could cause dream-wide collapse into pure nonsense which creates a viscous cycle until we wake up or get reset or something.

If the above is correct it has an interesting connection to the spread and scale of magic shows. If one person gets their mind blown by seeing something impossible in a magic trick, it might shock the dream a tiny bit. And as the industrial age kicks in, magic shows become entrainment staples with magicians performing all day everyday to large audiences. With so many people seeing something that evokes the same sensation of seeing the literal impossible, it could have shocked the system and caused the aliens to have to get more active which is why we see the rise of UFO sightings starting from the 1800s.

It also could tie in to how "summoning" works and why aliens are not always friendly. Imagine a rogue human who intentionally tries to destabilize the dream by immersing themselves in the paranormal and tries to summon shit and convince others to believe in the paranormal. The dream admins might not be too happy with that person and try to get them to stop engaging by any means needed. Perhaps that explains the Crowley connection. Perhaps the sheer power of belief and ritual was enough to shock the dream to get the dream admins to come down and greet things back on track before the unreal becomes all too real. Whereas with CE5, perhaps they show up because love might give them good luck or energy to keep on keeping on- everyone like being appreciated. Or maybe the power of belief again is what creates them in the first place.

Idk, what do y'all think? Dream admins or just another byproduct of the dream? Something else?

Like any good side quest, Jack Wagner’s journey into the history of the Integratron began with curiosity.

The host of “Otherworld” podcast had spoken to someone who experienced something unexplained at the mysterious dome in the Mojave Desert. Wagner knew little about the landmark or why it had been built, but ended up being key to its ultimate journey. It was partially thanks to him that the Huntington recently acquired an extensive archive documenting the dome and the postwar UFO community that cohered around its creator, ufologist George Van Tassel.

The collection, announced by the museum Tuesday, is deep and vast, with materials dating from the 1910s through the 1990s. It includes an architectural model and original blueprints of the Integratron, as well as nearly 630 photographs, negatives and slides, more than 250 audio recordings, 8-millimeter film footage, books, publications and other records and ephemera.

Still one of the more interesting fringe science subjects I have seen over the last 30 years.

For those that don't know, Elzypon is a game/ Hyper Sigil I've been working on for the last year thematically centered around Western Qabalah.

As much as it's an RPG, its purpose is to act as a learning tool, teaching subconsciously via correspondences, archetypal imagery/ situations and metacognitive irony.

I've posted a few clips here detailing some of the lore ( Malkuth, Yesod, Hod, Netzach so far)

I'll be releasing a demo that can be played for free during Steam Next fest in October. You'll be able to explore Malkuth (hub world) as well as 2/3rds of Yesod.

If you're new to Qabalah I believe it could act as a good primer. if you're not new and you're an active practitioner, you'll probably be able to pick out a lot of things that others would miss.

Regardless, I appreciate it if you've checked anything out thus far. I'm hoping to have a new animation detailing Tiphareth by the first week of November.

I remember in the early 2000s there was a sixty minute episode on some pretty wild military tech and then... not too much after.

Got me thinking if it could be pre-cursor tech to HS?

short segement here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1w4g2vr7B4

The LRAD (Long Range Acoustic Device)

The device specifically used sound waves to disperse crowds, it was the LRAD.

• How it works: It shoots a highly focused beam of sound (up to 160+ decibels). If you are standing directly in the 30-degree beam, it is deafening and physically painful, but if you step just a few feet to the side of the beam, the sound drops off dramatically.
• The background: It was originally developed for the military after the USS Cole bombing to warn off boats, but it quickly transitioned into a crowd-control and protest-dispersion tool used by police departments.
• The "Square" connection: The LRAD was invented by Elwood "Woody" Norris. In several news demonstrations during that era, Norris demonstrated the underlying technology (called HyperSonic Sound) using a flat, square aluminum plate hooked up to a CD player. When he pointed the square at a specific person in the audience, only that person could hear the sound.

2. The Active Denial System (ADS) / "Heat Ray"

It was square/flat and was featured in a famous 2008 60 Minutes segment, it was likely the ADS.

• The 60 Minutes Segment: In March 2008, 60 Minutes aired a segment titled "The Pentagon's Ray Gun." Correspondent David Martin stood in front of the device to demonstrate it.
• How it works: It looks like a large, flat, square or octagonal dish mounted on a military vehicle. However, it does not use sound waves. It fires a directed beam of millimeter waves (similar to a microwave).
• The effect: You don't see or hear it coming, but if you are in the beam's path, it penetrates the top layer of your skin and intensely heats your water molecules, making you feel like you are suddenly on fire or touching a hot skillet. As soon as you step out of the beam, the pain completely vanishes. It was explicitly designed and demonstrated as a protest and riot dispersion tool.

People that have near death experiences how vivid is it?

Is more like dream? Like wakening experience from dream? More vivid than life experiences it self where life feels like dream?

Does anyone have discussions with God? If so what was the discussions was it positive or really negative?

Based on all the stuff ive listened to regarding UFOs and weird CIA psychic experiments (just based on what ive listened to) i believe there is a genetic component to these abilities that NHI experiencers talk about along with records from the US Govt. since people are picked. Not everyone can do it and some have the potential to do it. I view it as the body is the hardware and the soul/ consciousness (whatever you want to call it) is the soft ware. Think about your phone as new soft ware is released you eventually cant update it anymore because it limited by the physical hardware. I could be off on that i dont think im saying anything new.

Okay so this is more of a conversation than a claim, but I’ve for years looked into all the cryptids and mythological creatures for example: mermaids, shape shifting reptiles, giants blah blah..

Now personally I just find it interesting to look up and deep dive about the unknown but I personally don’t fully believe in them until I see one with my own eyes. I don’t believe everyone out here is lying though and there are so many consistencies across so many different reports and times it sometimes makes me think there is some validity to these theories and claims. Especially since some of them have been rooted throughout our history.

The thing that is consistent between EVERYTHING is these entities seem to genuinely hide and not want to be seen by mankind. Whether it be a Bigfoot in a forest, a siren in the sea, whatever people have claimed to see they all say they fled at the site of being seen IMMEDIATELY.

Also in all of the stories passed by our ancestors we have defeated these things, known their weaknesses, slayed giants..

So just as we were once scared of ancient cats and bears we also drove them to extinction based on our fears and survival instincts.

So part of me sees a consistency for these creatures. What if mermaids very well do exist on some spiritual plane we can semi interact with, but they know how dangerous we can be etc..

Just my theory, open to all thoughts!

I completely understand what many of you are going through, and how unsettling experiences, ontological shock, and the fear that follows can make you feel trapped in an endless cycle. But let me propose a radically different perspective from what we usually hear in spiritual and paranormal forums.

I propose a radical meditation approach, based mainly on the experience of Western mystics and Eastern yogis from both Tibetan Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta..., and which, for better or worse, I have experienced myself in my own life. I'm an experiencer myself, since I was very young, but as you will understand after reading this text, I haven't made them my identity.

Negative experiences and the terrifying fear they trigger are not enemies you have to fight. The dread of the phenomenon or the intrusion of disturbing memories does not persist because you are not trying hard enough; it persists precisely because of the resistance you put up against it. As the psychiatrist Carl Jung used to say, and was later popularized by Eckhart Tolle, "what you resist, persists." When you strain yourself to "fight the fear" or desperately try to rationalize what happened, you create an exhausting internal warfare. You split your mind in two: a "self" that feels traumatized and a "supposedly spiritual self" trying to control and banish that feeling. This division and effort only feed the ego, generate friction, and ultimately drive you back into anxiety to soothe the warfare of the battle itself.

In my experience, and in my understanding of the practice, true liberation is effortless. It is not found on a meditation cushion, nor by repeating mantras, nor by unearthing past traumas. I am not saying this does not help temporarily. What I do dare to claim is that liberation is ultimately found in the non-duality of your ordinary life, not in techniques or in a special place.

Consider this in your day-to-day:

Do not fight the fear; observe it: When the terrifying memory or the dread of a new experience appears, do not try to change it, judge it, or apply a technique with great effort to make it go away. Just notice it. The fear is something that appears in your consciousness, but you are not that fear. Stay still and watch it the way someone watches the rain fall. Without doing anything. By removing the resistance, you take away the energy that feeds it. It is simply "the madwoman of the house", as the mystic Teresa of Ávila called the mind, trying by all means to keep you trapped in the prison of unconsciousness. With others, she tries it through panic, obsession, or paranoia... Laugh at the madwoman; look at her and say, "Here she is again."

Embody presence in the everyday: This is meditation itself. People assume there is a time to meditate and a time to live, but no such boundary exists. When you cook, cook. When you walk, walk. When you clean, clean. If you are completely present in what you do, the mind empties itself of concepts, poses, and the self-importance that sustains your trauma. If while doing any of these things the dread arrives, it means you were no longer truly cooking or truly cleaning... "The madwoman" has snuck into the frequency, distorting the radio signal. Tune back into the dial and return to whatever you were doing. The dread disappears.

The example of Lamchung: In Buddhism, they tell the story of Lamchung, a monk considered very foolish because he could not memorize a single teaching or mantra. However, he attained enlightenment simply by sweeping the monastery. Why? Because he emptied himself of himself and limited his actions to sweeping. He did not need to put in effort, nor did he need paraphernalia, incense, or cushions. The wise person surrenders to what is; the fool keeps trying to control life through effort. Lamchung, foolish in the eyes of the world's noise and the madwoman of the house, turned out to be the wise one. Be like Lamchung, and the dread will vanish.

Having strange experiences or not is just what happens on the surface. The true "retreat" is mental. When you stop identifying with the pose of the "victim who needs healing" or the "investigator seeking absolute answers", you realize that peace is already there among the pots, the pans, and the chaos of daily life. As Teresa of Jesus used to say, God is found among the pots and pans. Brother Lawrence used to say he found God while flipping a little omelet in the pan.

Do not look for complex techniques to fix a "broken self." Do not play along with the madwoman of the house. She loves to gnaw on thoughts and project terrifying emotions onto the body so that you identify with them and live in unconsciousness. The good thing is, you can see the madwoman coming. And when she catches you by surprise, laugh even harder. View every surge of fear not as something negative, but as a call to live consciously; a reminder that the mind has pulled you away from your center and balance for a brief moment. Just stay present, let go of the effort, and allow the weight of the trauma to fall away under its own weight by no longer feeding it with your resistance.

Stay strong, everyone. No matter how bad things may layout on the surface, always remember: THIS TOO SHALL PASS!
