Reality Shifts?

Post by Occult Forum Archive »

Original post: 9-2-2

Recently (being several weeks ago), I've been studying and exploring alternate realities. Thanks with a lot of appreciated advice from my two mentors, I've learned a lot about some of the more threatening realities that are dangerous even to visit (and of course, I don't freaking go there!!! :( ), and I've visited realities that are magnificent, strange, and mediocre.

However, I've noticed at work that a strange reality "shift" had been occuring. I had left my desk (rather, half-assed cubicle slave chamber) to go on a break. When I got back, the energy all over the place was going crazy... my desk looked different, everyone looked different, some people weren't at work when they were all there previous to my break. I saw, energetically, a large, boiling puddle scrambling across the ceiling. I didn't feel drained or hurt or anything, just really weird. I couldn't speak correctly the entire time I was at work.

Well, I felt that was all digression... I'm not looking for validity about my experience. What I AM looking for is, why do reality shifts happen, and what causes them? I've heard of reality being tampered with to such a degree in an alternate world that people can actually draw up a reality bubble around a victim, and calcify it to such a degree that the person is trapped in stasis.

Reality Shifts?

Far be it for me to scoff. Interesting story: I had just gotten out of the mental hospital a few weeks before this. My Dad took me to the Mall and we went to Lazarus to pick up a few things. I saw my friend's Dad, who worked the desk at Lazarus behind a dark cherry finish counter, with a dark green surface with cherry trim behind him and low light. We wandered the store and found our things, and paid at a different register. So we're walking out of the Lazarus, and my friend's Dad is standing in the same place, except that the panelling is pine and a blue wallpaper, and the same for desk in front of him, with very bright lights around him.

I've never had such an odd experience in my entire life. I didn't know much about the occult at the time, so I didn't try to find a way to test the experience, and eventually I basically forgot about it. It would have been good if I had taken notes or something, but that is exactly what I remember happening.

I don't scoff at the unexplained, but I definitely test it and try to find out if I'm just going bonkers (I do that a lot) and if I can't figure it out, I shelve it for later. This one has been on the shelf almost 7 years.

Don't know why they happen, don't know what causes them. That is my most obvious encounter with that kind of thing. My other "dimensional experiences" are usually a result of skrying, which is basically just an attempt to communicate with the part of reality that you aren't aware of. I've had whole lifetimes in these worlds, it seems like sometimes, but the reality of them is tenuous and not early as vivid as normal waking consciousness. That's what sets apart my little story, whatever happened it seemed as real as my computer desk, not fuzzy and intangible like the Astral.

Sorry I can't help more.

Tim.

Thank you for your response, Foxgemini. No, you're okay... it's nice to be directly told what's up, but I often dig through the experiences of others, whether I gain some food for thought, or even if I squeeze out bits and pieces of knowledge. I'm recording all of my experiences with alternate realities, even if they are very boring. What happened to you seems very similar to what happened to me... I'm glad you're out of the crapper, btw. It seems these are triggered some time after a shift of conciousness, perhaps? I am performing shadow journeys, I just turned up my perception of seeing energy and auras and I'm a lot more aware of what's going on. Has anything more happened? Please let me know. :)

Original post: foxgemini

I have had a series of rather convoluted vivid dreams, some of them with stories to them. I'm not quite sure that this is a good forum for that material. Most of it is extremely distorted, and I don't think I'm up for comments on the experiences.

Just to give one example though... I was doing a tarot meditation. I was laying on the floor of my basement in my parent's house with a few candles lit, some frankincense and myrrh burning, and I had the 21st trump of the Thoth deck sitting on my right side. I studied the card in the manner that people usually scry a crystal, that is focused on the object but not staring and trying to blink normally. When I had memorized the card, I lay down with the card on the right side of me again, and I visualized the card.

The first thing that struck me was that the card when visualized resembled a vaginal opening with anatomically correct parts, the key as the clitoris with a snake around it and the snake wrapped around the woman's body. So immediately the next thought was a union of the divine and feminine principle, as in the snake and the vaginal shaped opening. At the moment I perceived this, I was stripped of my senses and I felt a great ecstasy wash over me, as the ecstasy continued I realized that the Universe consisted of the male and female principle's divine union, and that what I was experiencing was their orgasm, and that the entire Universe was one great orgasm, or divine ecstasy of some kind.

After realizing this my senses came back, and I did some breathing meditation for maybe a half an hour and then went upstairs and wrote down the experience in my diary and then went to bed.

There is a lot of stuff like that. I think it is best if I keep a lot of it to myself. It's very personal stuff, and as you can see, not necessarily politically correct, even at an open-minded forum like this. I have done a good deal of skrying of the paths on the tree.

I'm not sure if any of that helps. I'm probably sounding like a broken record, but I highly recommend getting some skrying under your belt, if you're not already doing it. The Tarot paths are fairly easy to skry, and if you're any good with the Tree, you can also visualize the sephirot and work them.

Later.

They've been happening a lot if you notice it. It happens quite often now, the reality shifts, since there is many changes going on, more than normal. But that is up for one to decide what is causing these changes and why it is so often and whatnot.

That is very intereseting indeed, and I understand your feelings about such personal experiences. So far, I have found OF to be decent, according to my previously infrequent lurking and posting. I have placed OF and Sacred-Magick under my belt for research purposes... I've spoken about alternate realities on MysticWicks, but sadly, most of the replies questioned my sanity, validity of practice, or the posters were more interested in being correct than they were in thinking outside of the box. They aren't all that way... there are plenty of helpful people there, but I'm drawing away lately because the emotions are running a bit too much over the top for my tastes.

Now that I'm done with that off-topic deluge, I would like to tell you that political correctness is no big beef with me. Truth itself is not concerned with how sugar-coated we are with each other. If you don't want to post anymore on your own experiences, I won't fly into a blinding rage. :) I have a good enough talent in scrying to find my own way through the folds of reality, so I won't press further. Thank you for your insight and for sharing your experiences with me, it will help me with my research and experimentation.

... damn, I sound like some kind of freakin' commercial or something. :\

I know we're on the verge of something big. All I can see in the future is two paths: one leads to total annihilation of the human race, and the other leads to transcendence of the human condition. The only problem with these two paths is that I can't figure out what kind of work is needed to get on the right path. I got very frustrated because when I was trying Tarot on this topic, I rarely got a spread that made any sense to me. All I am able to skry is the Wheel of Fortune with Anubis' head looming, and people being crushed beneath the wheel.

I get so crazy trying to figure this stuff out, that I pretty much don't bother with it anymore. I have put all that information I have received on the shelf, and I revisit it as little as possible. I know that whatever happens, that I won't be able to pinpoint the date, that it will come as a surprise.

The thing that worries me is that I think Freud was right, deep in the id is the Thanatos drive. The drive to destruction, and in the end destruction of one's self. I don't know if we can overcome that drive, but I've made it my job to try anyway.

Feels weird talking about this. I have a lot of stuff in notebooks, the received material, and the explanations of that material, and so on. But generally I keep my sense of impending doom to myself.

Call me crazy... Later.

That's interesting... what's going on over there, or here, or whereever you are? lol I'm going to write about all of these. Do you think they all started after a certain event, i.e. the Celstial Harmonic? Or after the Earth tilted on its axis?

No thanks, I won't call you crazy. That's pot and kettle, after all. ;)

With regards to the end and transcendence of humanity... I've seen several of the transcendence ones, most are high-magick realities, others aren't. Sadly, though the non-ascension variety of transcendence takes us all to new heights in those places, many humans are still more interested in having a shit-parade.
As to the end, we have two general methods. We go out quick in the next million years or so, kicking and screaming, or we stagnate for millions of years, rotting in the putrefaction of our own comfort, ideas of entitlement, and general stupidity.

Well there were many causes that lead to this happening as it always seems to be. For something like this to happen there are several causes. It is sometimes hard to find all the causes, but most of the time one can find most of them. I can name one cause and it is someone or something is Willing this to happen as it affects the Universe.

I must appologize these reality shifts are my fault. I've been dabbeling in the pseudo science of psycho-temperal mechanics and have been attempting to merge my concous perception of the presant moment with those of the past and future realites. In an attempt to brigde my awareness through time to have a cognitive perception of time/space and not just space time. My general aim is to manipulate reality to mold to my desires. We have five senses that tell us about 1% of whats out there in reality. SO I figure if I've got the brains to manifest reality how I see it than perhaps I should dubble my sensory perception to include concious awareness of several dimentions. Namely dimentions of time. Of course this change in the laws of reality causes a fleux. A kind of space/time gap where normally dimentions are split they are all merged into one single mental perception of clairity. Of course this means the change is all in my head and real reality is unaffected. What really boggles the mind is that reality is so subjective and immaterial that really we only need to perceive 1% of it to live healthy happy normal lives. But whats madning is that everybody else figures realization of mental perception in several time dimentions, let alone manipulation of these, is completed insane -divination and magick is for lunatics I'm told. I must push the fabric of reality. You practice magick too? Well then these shifts are your fault as well. Nothing is true everything is permissible.

While I don't believe that you are the sole cause of all shifts across the planet, I get what you're saying. Awakened will-workers affect reality more strongly, but I feel that it's an undercurrent boiling amongst the mediocre mundane that assists everything that's going on. Consensual reality has been kind of weird lately... It's been 3 days, and there's still some residual energy at work. More notes for my studies... :)

Perhaps the things you see that are odd and out of place are really caused by not entirely grounding your own mental energies. Things you've mentally projected follow you around and manifest as odd happenings. These energies can pick up "junk". Why not clean them and do a general grounding and see if that clears up any problems.

Don't worry, I'm not offended by this statement... I realize a lot of active practitioners everywhere get accused of making shit up in their own heads, so I'm very used to it.

I know the difference between mentally projecting things, and seeing things happen on their own and without my influence. I used to project crap all of the time not even months ago... but if there is an astral monster at the door, and I can't feel its energy, then it's not true. If I DID feel its energy, you can bet I'd be scrambling out the back window. :)

Lastly, reality shifts happen... it doesn't matter how much you psychically clean and sterilize an area, if it's going to happen, then attempting to reinforce the world-view of comfort and a juvenile sense of safety is kind of... well, a waste. Like trying to knock away a rapidly descending nuke with a wooden Slugger. :(

Acid09 wasn't saying that what you're experiencing is only in your head - what I think he's suggesting is that your ungrounded energies are messing with the energy around you... kinda like when a truck goes past real fast, and a bunch of leaves and trash fly up in the air stirred up by its passing...

I've experienced similar things - poltergeist type effects that only went away after I did a proper grounding.

Exactly, well sort of. I'm not sure I can expain it much better. But I don't think you're crazy. If I did I wouldn't sugar coat it just come out and say it. Reality shifts can happen. But what you may be expereincing could be related to magick energy that is still of you and around you and causing "magick" to occur. Since you are not guiding it or using it it but its not grounded it causes reality shifts. Even if it only happens as a kind of vortex of energy. But I don't know just trying to throw out ideas.

I considered what you're saying, at the time I considered it to be a possibility, and so did my mentors. Frankly, I'm only very ungrounded if I get very emotional, or if I wake up... I clear, ground, and center everyday before work.

One thing that may help add to the pot of weirdness is the fact that despite the fundamentalism, Wichita is a nice mana center in the midwest. I've felt time-ripples here before, I've seen small gates here and there (closed, but they're there), and we do have our fair share of nodes and ley lines. The fluctuation of the Earth can cause these to happen, but I think it's usually people who like to toy with reality. I doubt I'm strong enough to achieve such a thing, but I have done some crazy effects before.

Yeah seeing as how thats smack dab in the middle of tornado alley I can understand how energy can fluxuate quite rampantly.

The foot hills around where I live is kind of a wierd spot too. Though I suppose this could be said about most anywhere. But around here (I live about 30-40 miles from longs peak) we get energy currents funneling around the plains that collide with those rolling off the rockies. This leads to unpredictable weather- tornados and strange sights. About a week ago Colorado Springs got a foot an entire foot of hail. These stones were from marble sized to mellon sized. Car windows were shattered and streets were impassible. When the storm cleared it jumped right back up to a warm summer's night! I can see how nature can affect the energy of reality.

However I do have to ground myself several times a day to maintain a clear head and focused. Perhaps you should too. Even if you only try it for a week to see how it effects you. It can't hurt anything and can keep you from being distracted by observing realisty shifts.

I'm fine with once a day (or if I freak out or something). I don't think Wichita gets many reality shifts, not even during storms... the mana here is pretty stable, we get weird occurences once every few months. For example, prior to the shift, about 3 months ago, there was a time ripple in the middle of the night. We were cooking popcorn for 3 min., and we watched 10 min. of TV before it was done. Being aware of what was going on, we kept time pretty well. Before that, the veil was being weird (last year), but it's okay now.
