High Strangeness or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Silence
Material reality is merely an interpretation. It is your physical senses trying to make sense of the vibrations around you.
Your consciousness is meant to capture this energy and transform it. However, it is doing this through a distorted lens. The energy gets filtered through the culture you grew up with and your own personal beliefs, and it gets stuck in these representations. These are then mirrored back to you and create the reality you live in.
You are a magical being that has gotten stuck in the physical. Your true purpose, your way out of the physical, is to become aware of your energy body and learn how to use it.
How do you do this?
Silence is the key. You need to induce sensory deprivation, and this will prevent these representations from emerging. It will allow your energy body to access the raw, unfiltered energy around us. When we do this all kinds of high strangeness begins to appear. I will expand on this in other posts, but for now, here is the practice I do ...
When you first start the practice, it should be done at night, and in a dark room. You can achieve the same results during the day, but I would wait until you have a few successes at night before trying that. Sensory deprivation is much easier in the darkness.
Find a comfortable chair or couch to sit on. Your back should be straight and your neck should be unsupported.
- You tend to fall asleep easier when your neck is resting on something, and it is going to take a lot more attempts to experience something if you keep falling asleep.
Set a timer on your phone for 10 minutes. Do not use a loud sound. Set it to vibrate only, as this will allow you to maintain a semi-trance state when you reset it for the next round.
I have found 10 minutes to be a good duration to use when starting out. We will be repeating these steps, and it can take a few rounds to silence your mind when you've had a long day. If the time is too long then you will just get lost in your thoughts and waste time that could have been spent experiencing something.
The alarm allows you to reset your mindset and try again, and don't worry, 10 minutes is plenty of time to experience most of the phenomena that occurs.
Rest your hands on your lap and close your eyes.
Now stare straight ahead, at a specific point in the darkness. This is important. Don't let your eyes wander. Pick a point in the darkness, behind your eyelids, and only focus your gaze there. This will be hard to do! But you need to be persistent and keep moving your eyes back to the same spot.
- This works because it hyper focuses you on a difficult task. This will silence your mind and trigger sensory deprivation, and this is when the fun begins!
Eventually you will start to see or hear things. You might see a black or white dot that moves around. You might see flashes of color, usually blue or red. Sometimes there is a purple hue around your peripheral vision. Sometimes you hear loud cracking or other unusual sounds. Sometimes a gust of wind will hit your door. Sometimes visions of unknown places or humanoid faces will appear.
- These are all good signs! Do not focus on any of these things. Just silently observe and maintain your gaze on that single point.
When the alarm vibrates, open your eyes, reset it for another 10 minutes and repeat.
Do this as many times as you can. I know it can get a little monotonous, but I would suggest repeating it at least 3-4 times before calling it a night. You are training your mind to be silent, and like any new skill, it takes repetition to perfect it.
After you start having successful experiences with this, then you can increase the time to 15 minutes, then 20 minutes, and even longer.
Now, some days you get nothing, and that's okay. You just need to try again tomorrow. Some days you get the signs I mentioned above and that's it. However, if you are patient and persistent and spend time, every day, doing this practice you will eventually break through and experience high strangeness!
- The ability to silence your mind is a cumulative thing and over time it gets easier and quicker to do. You are learning to use your energy body, instead of relying on your senses, and it will get stronger every time you do. These experiences will start to occur more often and become more significant.
🎵 Break on through to the other side ...
There is a very distinct thing that occurs when you break through and glimpse behind our shared reality. A colored smoke, mist or fog-like substance will appear. It will quite literally appear out of nowhere.
It usually starts off small, but eventually billows everywhere and blocks your entire vision. The mist is almost always purple, blue or grey, but I have heard of people seeing other colors.
At some point, the mist will abruptly disappear, and you will see one of three things ...
But, I am not going to mention what those things are just yet. 😇
I want to hear what you've seen. Please leave your experiences in the comments below!
