On the 1st of Juli 2025 the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) station in Río Hurtado discovered a large object in space moving into the inner solar system. ATLAS is a robotic survey and early warning system for smaller objects that are on a potential collision course with Earth. It was already past the orbit of Jupiter when it was detected. It was not on a collision course with Earth, but every followup observation revealed us this object is truly strange and has the potential to be something we want to know everything about. The reaction of the established scientific community equates to the meme of a scene from The Naked Gun movie: “Move along. Nothing to see here.” The alternative “truth seeking” media is declaring it to be a “created by aliens.” In this Appendix I am going to take a good look at why I think there is something very odd with both these responses. 

Our solar system is a complex system of bodies of various sizes that are all gravitationally bound. The juggernaut of them all is our sun; Sol. It accounts for 99.98% of the total mass present in this system. It’s absolutely mind-boggling how huge this object is. The rest of the mass is distributed over various objects, small and large, of which the planets hold most of the rest of the mass. A tiny fraction of a percentage is reserved for things like meteoroids, asteroids, comets, dwarf-planets, and moons. The inner solar system comprises of Mercury (closest to the sun), Venus, then Earth, and finally Mars. At over 5 times the distance to the sun compared to Earth there’s Jupiter as the 5th planet, then Saturn, followed by Uranus, and last Neptune. Of all these objects – apart from the sun – the planet Jupiter is the king. Its total mass is more than all other objects around the sun combined. In fact, if you double the mass of all objects around the sun, apart from that of Jupiter itself, it would still be heavier than that. Truly a massive planet.

Though tiny compared to our sun, its gravitational influence is so strong that it makes our sun wobble, and the centre of gravity for these two massive objects lies outside of the surface of the sun, meaning you could see them as a twin body orbiting each other. All fun facts, but let’s get to the meat of the matter. Look at any sizeable rocky body without a thick atmosphere in our solar system – be it a planet, moon, or astroid – and you’ll see they are scarred with impact craters. Though on human lifetime scales the solar system is very peaceful and quiet mostly, over large time scales things here happen, and violent collisions happen a lot. All objects are subject to these collisions, but the rocky ones without an atmosphere preserve the evidence of this best. The large impacts come mostly from the pieces of asteroids or comets that were perturbed in their orbit through gravitational interactions with other bodies, and which then eventually came into collision with something else. The prevailing science is that large impacts on Earth in Earth’s past are likely candidates for some extinction events.

The solar system is a dangerous place. If we’d have video of the solar system as seen from afar and we’d speed it up it would perhaps look like a bit of a pinball table. All the objects around the sun are leftovers that did not make it into the sun’s makeup and which were pushed out by the solar wind to form different objects. Many of the smaller objects in orbit around the sun are possibly remnants of collisions between these bodies. There’s an uncountable number of small objects in orbit around the sun. The larger you go, the more rare the object becomes. This is evident from the craters we find on rocky bodies; small impact craters are abundant and the larger the crater the fewer they are present. The asteroid that supposedly killed off the non-avian dinosaurs is believed to have been between 10 and 15 kilometres in size. Though small in comparison to much of the solar system’s main objects, this was no small impact. In a fraction of a second when its front hit the surface of Earth its other end was still in space. The Earth shook by this violent collision and its effects have had a lingering influence to this day.

As far as we know, the way our solar system formed and how it behaves is typical for every solar system. Everything here is gravitationally bound to the sun. Would an object ‘want’ to free itself from this gravitational well, it would need to accelerate to an incredible speed to do so. From the orbit of Earth you would need to travel over 40 kilometres per second to achieve this, otherwise you’d just fall back to the sun in your new elliptical orbit. But it does happen that objects get thrown out of the solar system. This can be achieved through interactions with other celestial objects, most notably by violent collisions, but also through gravitational slingshots. Though rare, even entire planets get thrown out of their solar system this way, and there are indeed a good few known ‘rogue’ planets deep in interstellar space that liberated themselves from their parent star. Some models of our own solar system predict our system started out with more planets than we currently count, and one possibility is ejection through a slingshot event. But it’s a rare event, and it’s far more likely that small objects get ejected out of any solar system rather than large ones; there’s so many more of them, and it takes so much less energy to give them the speed needed to brake the gravitational hold of their parent star.

As such, it is to be expected that should we encounter any foreign object that’s traveling through interstellar space to traverse our solar system that they’d be small. It’s also believed that it should be an extremely rare event to see any such interstellar interloper. Space is huge. The distances between solar systems is unimaginably vast. Yet – as evident from its name – 3I/ATLAS is the third large interstellar object that we have seen travel through our solar system within less than 10 years. Just this statistic is curious. It should be rare to have any interstellar object travel through our solar system. Of the few that do it should be rare for us to see them, cause couldn’t we easily miss one? But neither these assumptions seem to work for what we see as this is the third of one such object to do so in less than a decade. And the assumptions aren’t based on educated guesses. What’s going on here? And the oddities don’t stop here. In fact, this is just the tip of a stack of true oddities when it comes to our third interstellar visitor, 3I/ATLAS. This thing is proper weird.

3I/ATLAS is dubbed an interstellar comet. That it’s interstellar is not up for debate, but what about it makes it a comet? How do comets typically appear and behave? We’ve seen plenty stellar (pun not intended) comets. What makes an object a comet as opposed to anything else? There’s a few properties an object needs to have in order for it to be considered a comet. First there is its makeup. Comets are typically mostly comprised out of ices. Not just water ice. In astronomy ices are chemicals that have a low molar mass that freeze solid in the cold of space, but easily sublimate when exposed to solar heat. Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, ammonia, and of course regular water. They may contain rocky material, but often to a lesser degree. So that’s what they’re made of. How they behave in our solar system is that they typically have very hyperbolic orbits. They may have sat in a (more) stable orbit in the outskirts of our solar system for billions of years, but were kicked into a lower orbit through gravitational interactions. When that happens, they fall towards the inner solar system, pass close to the sun and get flung to the far end again.

They repeat this orbit over dozens, hundreds or even thousands of years, until they’re completely evaporated by the close flybys to the sun, or collide with another object. The longevity of a comet is determined by factors like its size, its exact makeup, its density, how close it passes the sun, how fast it passes the sun, and perhaps other such factors. We can sometimes see a comet from earth with the naked eye. They appear as stars with one or two lines or bands emanating from its body. These lines/bands are either of two things, and both are caused by the material the comet loses through it being radiated by the solar wind. As the solar wind bombards the icy body with high energy particles, the ices sublimate and transition from solid to gas. This process is called outgassing. Through this outgassing the comet loses material. This can be up to a rate of several tons per second! Through outgassing solid pieces may break and fly off. These form the comets’ tail. The tail draws a line directly behind the trajectory of the comet. The comets’ coma is the second line/band it can form. It is formed by the particles that are blown off the comet by the solar wind.

The tail and coma on approach can be difficult to separate but on its way out of the inner solar system the coma points away from the tail, as the solar wind will push the lighter particles ahead of the comet, but the tail still lags behind the path the comet is taking. Because a comet typically tumbles and often has more than one turning axes, the side exposed directly to the sun changes as it “rolls” through space. This causes the comet to form an envelope of gasses around its solid nucleus. Because this halo is very bright in the sun’s light it is often difficult to discern the actual size of the comets’ nucleus. It may take several observations before astronomers have a solid estimate of the size of the object. Most comets don’t survive more than a couple of passes close to the sun, before breaking up or evaporating entirely. The behaviour of comets has been observed and documented for a long time, and in recent decades we’ve increased our observation capacity tremendously, not just in the public sector, but also by private amateur astronomers.

So 3I/ATLAS must show these signs to be labelled a ‘comet’, correct? Let’s follow our observations in chronological order. After the object was spotted, followup observation revealed that there were a coma and a tail, but the tail was ahead of the object – an anti-tail. It was reaching out into the direction of the sun, instead of away from it. This is behaviour scientists have not been able to explain. It got stranger; the coma was comprised mostly out of carbon dioxide. This is very strange. The comets we’ve seen always have a varied complex chemical makeup. How is it possible that a natural object that supposedly formed in another solar system is pushing gas into the direction of the sun, against the stream, comprised out of mostly one single type of ice? This is strange. No matter what kind of natural object this is; we’d expect it to vent a mixture of different chemicals.

It’s releasing this carbon dioxide at a steady pace of 70 Kilograms every second. This release of material should give 3I/ATLAS a magnificently bright tail. We don’t see that. In fact, scientists had to look for a tail, and they found it has one, but it is faint and much narrower than it should be; about 12 times as long as it is wide. Strange indeed. But this doesn’t make it a spacecraft. It was assumed 3I/ATLAS wasn’t too big, maybe a few kilometres across, but followup observations revealed it was potentially much bigger, and estimates put the number close to 50 kilometres. This makes it a giant in whatever class it should sit, comet or not. But subsequent observations came back with more data that arguably went over the threshold to be assured this is a natural object. Apparently 3I/ATLAS is surrounded by a halo of the element nickel. Just nickel. The only place we see nickel without iron is when it’s refined. Whenever we find nickel in nature – be it on earth or out there in space – we find together with iron. The process in a nuclear furnace of a collapsing star creates them both in predictable quantities.

To find the object hosts a nickel halo without iron is a possible techno-signature. And it goes deeper. Further analysis of the data showed the core reflected way more light than any natural object should. The only way for the nucleus to be this bright at this distance to the sun is if it either was producing its own light or if it was made partly out of polished mirror-like plates. Reanalysis of the data confirmed that the bright spots matched with its rotation movements. The plot thickens. As this was all being reviewed, a very violent event happened on our sun’s surface. A coronal mass ejection (CME) erupted, and its blast hit 3I/ATLAS. A regular comet would’ve been affected. Not 3I/ATLAS. It paced on without change. It didn’t break into peaces, its tale and halo were still intact. Now, I’m going to mention the animation below this paragraph, and make some observations. Please watch the animation of the path 3I/ATLAS is expected to take through our solar system. First observation; it’s coming in almost exactly edge on into the ecliptic (meaning the orbital plane of most solar objects). Second observation; it will visit 3 planets close by, especially close to Mars. Third observation; it will be hidden by the sun’s glare for most of its time near Earth, meaning we can’t see most of it during its closest approach. Check it out:

But lucky for the scientists, it will pass right by Mars, and Mars is home to a great number of probes and instruments currently exploring said planet. Granted, they aren’t meant to observe an object passing Mars, but at least it is something. And indeed requests to use the instruments in orbit and on the surface of Mars to gather data on 3I/ATLAS were made. But shortly after the first images were published and before the object got close enough there was a shutdown of all science missions involving the interstellar visitor. It is rumoured that this shutdown followed release of the images because they were released by bypassing an internal embargo on 3I/ATLAS observations. The images weren’t vetted and investigated and seemed to be the raw data. But the official reason given for the shutdown of all October missions was “a data integrity review”. This normally happens when there is a scheduling error, but that shouldn’t happen on this scale and it’s almost inconceivable such an error would encompass so many projects. This looked like the reaction the agency would have to a data breach, covered up by technical terminology and bureaucracy.

But such a review should not take that long to resolve, so the next thing that happened was a shutdown of NASA. That’s right. Apparently, the U.S. senate failed to pass the appropriations bill that would have funded several U.S. agencies and offices all the way through late November. A total coincidence, of course. This affected NASA too, which indeed shut down most of its operations. And while this happened on the 1st of October, 3I/ATLAS slipped by Mars on its closest approach to the planet on the 3rd of October. Bummer! We missed it. Well, it’s going to pass Jupiter, which has an active mission in the JUNO spacecraft, but we’ll see how that gets deflected. If 3I/ATLAS makes it to Jupiter at all, cause if it isn’t a natural object, who’s to say it won’t make a breaking manoeuvre behind the our star and starts laps around the sun in a tight orbit. We will never spot it again if it would, cause the Sun’s glare is just too much for us to spot it then. Hey, maybe it goes for Earth, right? I’m semi-joking here, and I do this to address the loads of bollocks that has been piped through the counter-narrative channels about 3I/ATLAS.

I’ve heard it all. It’s an alien mothership of the Nibiru that are coming to save us from the evil cabal, or it’s the reinforcements of a species that wants to overthrow humanity and enslave us, or it’s a weapon that is supposed to destroy Earth. It’s a lot of things. What do we know? Little. Speculation is speculation. To insist this is a comet though only underscores any suspicion that it isn’t. Calling this a metal-rich comet is like calling a new Savana animal a short-necked giraffe. Why insist it’s a giraffe when very few of its attributes warrant this label? But I can speculate too. Let me first make a summary of the strangeness of 3I/ATLAS. It flies in through the ecliptic. It could’ve come from any direction, but it flies in through the orbital plane. It’s a massive object, which makes it incredibly rare as an interstellar interloper. It visits 3 planets as it passes close by Mars, Venus and Jupiter. It will be hidden from our view for most of its time in the inner solar system, cause it will be exactly behind the sun from our perspective on its closest approach. It has a coma that is comprised mostly out of one type of ice (carbon dioxide). Its tail is much narrower than we expected for an object this size, and there is an anti-tail facing into the direction of the sun. It sports a halo of nickel. It either has smooth mirror-like plating on its surface or it’s producing its own light. It was hit by a CME but came out unscathed.

Each individual thing could be considered strange, but don’t make it a spacecraft. But everything together about this hints at a possible technological origin. The reaction of NASA with an embargo, bullshit temporary shutdown, followed by a larger shutdown due to more bullshit feels like a cover up. But then what is true? Are we about to be saved or enslaved, or wiped out? I cannot say with certainty that we are, or not. But there are more options. It could very well be the probe or ship of a species that has a higher technological level than the technology in the public domain of humanity, but inferior to the ancient races of Earth. The CME could’ve been triggered by them to sterilise 3I/ATLAS, and the subsequent reaction to prevent any good observations were just damage control. They can’t have the public think there are aliens and demand we make contact. The whole “alien” topic needs to remain associated with nutjobs and conspiracy idiots.

The activity of the ancients on Earth should never become a regular normalised topic to discuss over coffee. Acknowledgement of the existence of technological superior beings will give credence to many stories that were deemed the work of fiction of psychologically troubled attention seekers. It should stay hidden. Whenever the “clear” images of 3I/ATLAS appear, expect them to be heavily vetted, perhaps even doctored. No true clear images of this thing will make it into the public domain. But there is another possibility. This is the third interstellar object, and the second to be discussed because of its unusual properties. The first such object – Oumuamua – similarly had a whole discussion going on about it, fueled by the astronomer Avi Loeb. This is the same astronomer that is fueling the discussion around 3I/ATLAS and this might be all part of the plan. The plan could very well be to desensitise the public to stories about possible alien spacecrafts, so that when an actual spacecraft that is planned to visit us enters our solar system, nobody will take it seriously. This will allow for some big ship to make it to Earth without anyone believing the stories of those claiming to have seen it fly over.

The inflation of possible alien news but which turned out to be nothing will make people numb to hear the truth, because it sounds like more nonsense. This system loves to use inflation to its advantage. It’s the same thing as when there were thousands of drones flying at night over the US about a year ago. People stopped looking up after hearing about it on the news for weeks on end, and whatever needed to slip through our skies did so unnoticed. And just like then are the counter-narrators now also egged on to tell a fantastic story, to make it so anyone claiming anything else but the official narrative to be perceived as nothing but a total buffoon. And don’t worry. The irony is still not lost on me. I know exactly how I sound to those who don’t know they’re living the illusion.

03. Ever after

Published: 03-10-2025 
Updated: 05-10-2025 

This is the third appendix. I want to try something different. For a while I have been looking through notes about what I perceived the great choice to be in the ever after, and our road towards that choice. But I never implemented these thoughts entirely into the Scrolls. I considered them to be a bit too fringe – even for this work – and adding them meant I either had to make Chapter 20 even bigger than it is, or make another Scroll. The appendices give me a platform within my own work to still express these thoughts and ideas. I will again assume you’ve read all the Scrolls. This will be a strange appendix. I hope you can appreciate it. 

The bible says that we are born in sin, and during our lives we have to pick a side. Choose the side of god and you’ll be granted access to heaven, choose the side of the devil and you’ll be cast into hell. Is there any truth to these claims? If you’ve read the Scrolls you’ll know I think it’s all a swindle. Yes, it is true when it comes to heaven and hell, but it’s truth through omission. In this world we’re constantly confronted with situations that prompt us to ‘pick a side’. If this universe had a motto, that’d be it. ‘Pick a side!’ It marinates us into this way of thinking everything has a side to it, that will either help or harm you. But if you’ve followed along with my stories you’ll understand that I do not think it is that simple. I think in the end there is only one side; you, and you are a complicated being. I believe your spirit is on a quest to learn to love all aspects of itself, and there is an uncountable number of ways to express this love, or the lack thereof.

I think all spirits in this part of our reality are in the twilight. As thoroughly described in Chapter 20; this reality is one based on conditions, and is as such an evil reality. But I think that it’s very near that mirror surface in that trench of good and evil. We’re not in the deep end here. We are still capable of doing good. We inhibit both a good and an evil side. Though this might be an evil reality, you’ve also learned that evil is a self-terminating process, and this I think means the good and bad still balance themselves out in this slice of reality, because evil is constantly destroyed through its own efforts. What parts of the stories of hell and heaven could be true then? I think that only those who have suffered through the torments of any hell can truly appreciate the freedom of heaven. Let that sink in, and realise this means that we as spirits must be both the good and the evil in this world. And as such, I think the road to the great ever after must lead through both heaven and hell.

Yes, we are indeed born in sin. We perceive our reality as a place where we can only exist at the cost of others. The creation of our bodies, from two cells – each from one of your parents – was possible only because our parents consumed other life before them. That consumption forced the spiritual paths of those spirits to change in a direction they would rather have avoided. You could see that as them being sacrificed for you so you could come into existence. Even the reproductive cells that were the basis of you were formed through that process, and so for every cell that came before it. Without context, the tale of a being that can only spawn into existence through the sacrifice of others, sounds like the origin story of some demonic beast. Yet, that seems to be our story. I sometimes ponder and entertain the idea that we split in two at the end of the road, and our ego goes one way as our soul goes the other, but I’m not sure. I think we take a path that lets us experience both. I don’t think we can become God without experiencing existence in its entirety. Maybe our split off switches sides and merges again at the end?

Evil is the opposite of Good. If evil avoids discomfort, God therefore must seek out suffering and even embrace it. I think about the Buddhists that use methods to pain themselves, and how I never understood why anyone would want to meditate all day and subject themselves to pain willingly. Now I get the sanity behind this lifestyle. In a way they’re bringing themselves closer to God by placing themselves in his mindset. We are all young versions of God. We are here to learn how to become him. How does an all powerful deity accomplish this? It figures that he shattered himself into pieces for us to find a way for ourselves to become whole again. And there are many pieces to him. There are so many spirits in this world, all infinite. God is the greatest of all infinities. I think the pieces of him are infinite in number just the same, otherwise it would mean we could put a number on God’s total, and that doesn’t sound possible to me. The greatest infinity must be infinite in all its ways.

So if you choose suffering over comfort, it means that you truly accept the consequence of physical life and you’ll grow spiritually. But if you avoid suffering and seek comfort, then you will inevitably be subjected to a lot of pain, falling down the trench of the good vs. evil dynamic. This reveals to us two very important principles behind our reality. It means that all roads inevitably lead to God, and that we are destined – some where along our spiritual journey – to go through hell. I think we need to, so we can learn from the experience. It makes sense to me. We need to learn how to escape from the grasp of hell in order to truly appreciate the blessings of heaven. It is part of our inner struggle, to become at peace with our dark side and heal it through love, instead of trying to beat it at its own game. That is our challenge in this spiritual journey. So then you may ask yourself; where along that journey am I now? It’s a good question. One I hope to answer in this appendix. But to answer it I need to explain something and refer the Scrolls a few times.

As above, so below. This is one of the core believes of the cult. And we see this principle back everywhere in our reality, not just in the fringe and paranormal. Obviously our economy is a perfect example of it, but I’ve also detailed how our universe functions through a chain of dependencies, all stacked on top of each other. It’s everywhere. Just think about the cells in our bodies. Our avatar for this existence is our body. It consists out of trillions of individual cells. All of them work together so that we – this physical being – can exist. There are many parallels between the way our bodies function and the way our pyramid social structure functions. If a couple of cells die, the body is still fine. You are still you. The same for our society. If some people die, it’s tragic on a small scale, but on the larger scale there is mostly very little impact. Some cells are more important than other cells though, just like some people are more important in our society than others. Most can be missed without any tangible difference to the whole, as long as the majority survives.

There are cells that move supplies, cells that clean up, cells that produce energy, cells that produce substances, cells that steer these and all other processes, cells that patrol and protect; you name it, the body has it. These are examples of the parallels between the functions of our bodies and how our society works. Any one person that dies mostly didn’t want to die, though there are exceptions. Same with our cells. Some cells will sacrifice themselves to tackle a foe, but cells mostly just seem to want to exist. Our body has its army of soldiers, just as our society has. But most cells and most people just want to live as long as possible. And at the top of our society? There is something there, some being, completely dependant on the society to exist this way, unwilling to give up that form of existence and free its subjects. And so the same goes for our bodies. We are that being at the top. We don’t want our cells to abandon their duties and find their own way. Though I don’t think we are evil beings, our existence can only be summarised as evil in this context. Yet, I think we are still capable of doing good.

But we are undeniably controlling lesser beings (our cells) in order to sustain this form of existence, just like the elite and all above them control us. And just like the elite, I sometimes kill my lesser cells for no good reason at all. I might use my nails and pick at a scab out of boredom, hurting myself, causing dozens or perhaps hundreds of cells to lose their lives. Is that any different than the abuse the elites subject us to for their entertainment? I do many things and some of those things fly straight in the face of keeping this body out of harm’s way, just like the elite do with society. But sometimes some of my body’s own cells become a threat to the function of the entire body. Cancer cells are native cells that have gone rogue. Our body is full of processes that preliminarily find and repair if not terminate individual cancer cells. The elite do the same. They are very keen on trying to make sure no rogue humans can collect in numbers and threaten their pyramid. I am a cancer cell in their pyramid. I do not function the way they’d like.

But I’ve kept my influence below the threshold that would trigger them to respond in force. They might monitor me, perhaps. But strangely the elite do all kinds of things that encourage the formation of people like myself; dissidents, that wish to go against the system. And we do the same with our bodies. None of us want cancer, but we constantly subject our bodies to things that can lead to the formation of cancer cells. We sunbath, consume unhealthy foods, drink alcohol, smoke, limit exercise. And when cancer does form, we need to appeal to a higher power outside ourselves to intervene and battle the cancer. Which sometimes they do successfully, but also often times they don’t. The medical industry is notoriously corrupt, but only those who dare to see it actually see it. As discussed in the Scrolls; the money is in the treatment, not the cure. And this is a very insightful revelation when comparing it to the parallels between our bodies and our society. Apparently if our societal dissidence grows too strong for the elite to control, they need to appeal to a power above this system, but if the parallel is accurate, that higher power will only help as long as it benefits them, and treating is more important to them than curing. The cycle must continue.

If doctors will kill cells somewhat indiscriminately to cure cancer, so will the higher power the elites are subjects to kill humans indiscriminately. Perhaps this is what happened 12,000 years ago, during the Younger Dryas. I’m not sure if this is good or bad news for us. An intervention is done to try and preserve the system, but often times when it comes to cancer a patient dies. If not by the cancer, then by something else eventually. We will all die eventually, just like evil. Evil perishes. It’s designed that way. And thus so will our society collapse one day and cease to exist, same with our bodies, and same with our universe. But how did we journey here? Did we come from hell and are we climbing out? Did we come from Heaven to learn? Or were we on our way to Heaven and took a wrong turn somewhere, still able to return with some effort? I don’t know, but I have a gut feeling. Let’s apply the ‘as above so below’ principle to our individual cells, and combine it with something from the Scrolls. In the Scrolls I explained how the corruption of spirits cascades until their empathy is gone and they become part of the natural forces of our universe. Try and keep that in mind.

A single living cell is made out of millions of molecules. Each molecule is made out of atoms. Some molecules consist out of dozens or even hundreds of atoms. Each atom is made out of at least 1 proton, but for our bodies most molecules are made out of many protons, neutrons, and electrons. These are all subatomic particles. The electron is one of many kinds fundamental particles, and the proton and neutron each are made out of a combination of other fundamental particles, making them composite subatomic particles. The protons and neutrons are each composed out of certain quarks, which is the name of the type of fundamental particle that makes them up. Know there are many other kinds of fundamental particles, but I won’t bore you with them as I know too little about them and it doesn’t serve a purpose for this work to explain them. An interesting thing to note about the subatomic realm though is that each particle has an anti-version of itself. There is the antiproton, the antineutron and an anti-electron (called a positron). The antiproton and antineutron are made out of antiquarks.

This is a fascinating thing to take note of in a chapter that once more highlights how this reality is build on dependencies that are kept in repeating loops through duality cycles. These elementary particles are mysterious. Much is done to research them. Billions are being spent to create giant atom smashing machines; huge underground structures built to smash atoms together at near light speed to see what they are made of. And there’s still so much we don’t know and understand about them. But as much as this is a scientific endeavour, I will wager it dabbles in the spiritual just the same. I think this money is being spent because there is an esoteric goal for the cult for this research. The subatomic particles may not be the end of the line into the microcosm. String theory predicts that fundamental particles are made out of one dimensional strings that vibrate, and the frequency of this vibration determines the properties of the quarks, which basically translates to which laws of nature they adhere to. And if you read the Scrolls you know where those laws come from.

But let me refresh your memory, cause this work has become undeniably verbose and bulky. In this work I described the laws of nature as the stagnated soulless wills of once conscious beings that corrupted themselves into disfigurement, until all they could do was limit the spirits in this reality, in order to keep them under control and unable to escape. My thesis is that a free spirit is stronger than these soulless wills, but if that spirit is here, it first needs to learn that it is in fact free and not trapped. This may take a great many lifetimes. Entities exist in this universe on the basis of conditions. Certain conditions need to be met in order for you and me to continue our existence in this form we’re currently experiencing. It’s a pyramid of dependencies. The higher levels are dependent on the lower levels, and they exercise control over the lower levels so that the lower levels form what the higher levels need. This description fits our social and economic pyramid model perfectly. Should we decide to want out, we will either be stopped or be denied the comforts that come from holding this position.

The comforts are certainties. But the system eats itself, and as such will consume all participating spirits at some point in the end. The spirits that serve their system best will not be spared. They’ll just be one of the last to be sacrificed. But this model also applies to the relation between our bodies and our cells. We as beings keep our cells in check, but we need the cells to be where they are and do what they do, otherwise we would perish. We would all perish; the cells themselves too. Being part of this body gives them comforts. Many things are arranged for them, which they otherwise would have to do themselves. They are protected from a lot of the dangers from the outside world. There are more certainties in existing as part of a multicellular life form than would there be through going it alone. Let me ‘as above so below‘ you once more; our cells away from our bodies are weak and die quite fast without the other cells, where by far most single celled life forms are robust and tough. Comforts make us weak on every level.

But let’s look at the cells. They need the molecules to exist. They keep the molecules under control. Without the cells many of the organic molecules in a cell would not be able to exist for long. Organic molecules are notoriously unstable, meaning they tend to break apart or react with other molecules very quickly compared to many other molecules. You see where this is going? All the way down to the suggested strings is each form of things a controling thing that keeps the forms below in place in order to work together in some kind of system. Each system spawns a form with certain properties, that keeps the form below in check in some way. Without the form below the form above it would not be able to exist. I think this is the modus compendium for how our reality operates on the smallest and largest scales. I think this is a design you will find signs of everywhere you dare to see it in this reality, but it also means there is a bottom and a ceiling, which I think is not something the “real” world is like outside this matrix.

To keep every form performing its role in a system so that the form above it can continue to exist the way it does I think is done through presenting each form with dangers that threaten their existence in their form, motivating them through a selection process to remain to work together in that system with other alike forms. That system itself is the form above them, and that form is subject to the same mechanics. This goes on and on, meaning our form as physical beings is a form that together with all other physical beings spawns the next form, just like our cells spawn us. We are an emergent form from the forms below us, as goes for each level. Between each form is a transition to the form above. But we are conscious beings. Though truly complex, I don’t think our cells are particularly conscious, and neither do I think any of the molecules, atoms, or any of the subatomic particles, and what ever levels below I don’t know about are for that matter. But we are.

We’re physical beings, but by far are not all physical beings on this planet conscious choice makers. The bulk of biomass on Earth consists out of unconscious lifeforms. Though they do make choices. But how does a bacterium choose to move away from the heat? How does a fungal spore choose to grow towards a food source? How does a plant seed know when to germinate? In most cases, the choices that result in the longevity of the life form are made through sensory stimuli. It’s a chemical reaction. How then does a more complex yet not particularly conscious animal make its choices? Take a grasshopper, a frog, or a jellyfish? I’ll attribute their choices to instinct. Instinct uses sensory input but there is someone at the helm here. Not all choices they make are logical. They are more complex, and more prone to variation. Though perhaps I should be careful not to dismiss the possibility of our simpler brethren being able of acting outside of their design too quickly. They might already inhibit this trade, though I wouldn’t call their choices purely chemical.

But beings that might not be particularly conscious still are able to venture from their design in their choice making. There’s something more to it than just instinct. And now that I think of it, quantum particles are particularly unpredictable, but apologies for throwing you off my own train of thought. Climb back on please. We’re getting to a group of beings where there’s more going on than just simple instinct. I’ve seen some truly complex behaviours from “simple” life forms and the behaviour of many mammals is surprisingly aware. There surely are many levels of consciousness, and mammals are represented on the whole spectrum, us humans most likely sitting at the far end. We’re not alone on the spectrum though, but let’s see where these thoughts take us as is. Somewhere on that spectrum we become conscious choice makers, meaning the being will be aware of future consequences of certain choices. Its choices are influenced by an insight that is not of this time, but by something that exists in a future that hasn’t arrived yet.

Instinct still drives us, but that’s not all that’s influencing us. We can go against our design by choice, which is something I don’t see a plant or bacterium capable of. Though we are all physical beings, there is a gradual change into something new. I think in a way this is a transition into a new form, where the form above controls the form below. With the arrogance of a modern scientist I declared that we – humans – sit on the far end of the scale, but it’s an assumption that actually has no place in this work. It is not difficult to try and imagine that scale being a lot bigger, with a form of consciousness that is not subject to sensory stimuli or instinct. For all we know we’re sitting at the bottom of the consciousness scale as we have no means to truly measure consciousness. Who’s to say what’s true about our place in this world? But one thing persists in this reality and that is that each form is subject to a selection process that selects based on what system each form is part of, and when it comes to life forms that selection process involves dangers to the existence of the life form, persuading it to make choices that keeps its form in tact and out of harm’s way.

This is where duality is a key factor. Everything in our reality has a counterpart. The proton has the anti-proton, for example. And do you know what happens when they meet? They annihilate each other, and the energy that they consist of is released in an instant. Isn’t that interesting? When matter meets antimatter, the whole mass basically explodes. Now I am unsure of how the meeting of the counterparts goes on each level, but I do think that on our plane this duality is found in the dynamic between good and evil, and I think they represent fundamental sides to the total process that keeps this reality in tact. But we can change sides. And quantum particles can change their type too, though I do not know whether they can change to their counterparts. If my thesis is correct, they should be able to. Our current form isn’t the end form, and we can choose which side of the duality we wish to be a part of. There is a form above us that emerges out of the systems of its forms below. I think the mechanism in place that facilitates the transition between good and evil on our plane involves our use of technology. We will either flock towards it mindlessly or use it with great care and consideration. That is the choice we are presented in our lifetime in our current form.

Those that reject it will create the form our religions tell us is the side of good, where those that embrace technology create the counter-form to that, which I would call the side of evil. When these two opposites meet, I also think the meeting will be explosive and annihilates those parts that meet, just as with matter and antimatter. Therefore there is an incentive for both sides to want to avoid this meeting, or at least be smart about what they sacrifice should they want to remain existing in their current form of stacked dependencies. Both sides need to have dangers that motivate them to want to remain in their current form, otherwise they would’ve let go of their form already. And this realisation gave me an interesting insight into the life of a technologically advanced alien, from Earth or somewhere else. As our own technological development continues, one thing stands out to me, which is that the speed of information gathering and consumption in my world increases exponentially. The hunger to collect, store, and process data is growing and it pushes our technological stride to find better ways to facilitate this process.

I can easily see how in the future those that have embraced technology will cybernetically enhance themselves to be able to view and remember more and more data in a shorter time. Remember then that our media is one of the methods the higher form uses to keep us doing what we’re doing by presenting us with foes through our data stream. “Climate change, global hackers, paedophiles, warring nations, alien invaders…” Imagine then what foes this process must erect for a race of beings that have technological capabilities so strong that it puts us on par with stone age hominids in comparison to them? What powers do powerful beings have to be told about to keep performing their role to serve the form above them? Their information stream must foretell of the existence of existential threats beyond their capabilities from which they’d want to be kept safe. The more this process continues the bigger the threats must become, much like we see in our own news media. There is a madness to this world, and it is apparent in the selection process of what news propagates best. Through fear the lower parts of the pyramid are kept in check. Therefore I don’t expect the threats to become less threatening the more our technological abilities and thus our power of influence increases. In fact, the opposite must be true.

As our power grows, so grows the need for the system to scare us with a bigger foe. But let’s paddle back then to how all these forms relate to our spirits. I’ve written that our spirits – or sparks – are the core essence of us, but I do not think they are physical. They are the part of us outside this reality. All these forms – from the subatomic to us, and all the way to whatever sits on top of the pyramid – are vessels that spirits can embody. Currently we embody the vessel of a human being. Our souls facilitate the connection between our spark and this reality, which includes the vessel. It is from the soul the power of the spark is harvested for every form that exists. Now, I’ve written extensively in the Scrolls about the swindles that keep us here in this reality, one of which being that we can be given the choice at another life in this reality, and through our experiences we might be compelled to get in on another experience. Maybe we want to avoid the mistakes we’ve made in this new life, or maybe we have become aware of some truths and wish to enter the timeline to try and make a difference against evil. Or maybe we embrace corruption and choose that side. Or perhaps we desire to see the future of our previous life. Or maybe, just maybe, we desire a simpler life.

There is so much to choose from, just from our time on Earth. There’s our current civilisation, but also many past ones, and perhaps also future ones. You can pop in at any life at any time. You can go into the future and choose a life after the fall, or back in time in the middle stages of a technological super power. There’s truly so much to choose from. Who knows, maybe we eventually choose and live them all? It’d make sense to me. But one thing you cannot choose; you cannot choose the direction that time flows towards once you reincarnate. You can choose a vessel where in time you spawn into, but once chosen, time flows in the same direction it always flowed in. And that got me thinking. I once wrote on this website that I thought time was one of the few glimpses of God we could get, but I think I was wrong. I don’t think this is correct. God isn’t time. I think time might be the one force behind this universe that desires to be God. A force that forces everything to move in a certain direction, obeying certain laws. But it’s part of the swindle of dependency-driven existence. The real God is timeless.

Let me explain that a little bit more. Your choice for your point of entry depends on your spiritual growth. Will you indulge yourself in pleasures and comfort, or choose a path of challenge and hardship? Or maybe you don’t want to get involved? The higher the vibration of your soul – and thus the bigger your soul is – the better you will find a focus on what you need to grow even wiser. I think the wiser you are, the less complicated you’d want things to be. You’ve learned enough from all your endeavours. A wise soul isn’t looking for a way to win the battle, but will instead opt to increase their vibration and observe. But since time moves forward into one direction only, and technological stride walks the arrow of time, the evil in this matrix is able to syphon off spiritual energy from even those that wish to go back to simpler times. Every side feeds the system, until you get to particles that experience no time. I once wrote in this work that for Angels time slows down until it almost stops. They need no time to heal. I also wrote that Angels are the wisdoms of God’s will.

Know then that photons (another fundamental particle) – which travel at the speed of light – experience no passage of time. None at all. If you look at a specific star in your night sky, and that star is 10 light years away, it means that this light has been traveling for 10 years at light speed before it got observed by you. What you observe are photons that traveled all that way to hit your retina. But even though from our point of view this journey took them 10 years, from the point of view of the photons themselves the journey was instantaneous. If you want to know how we know, you’ll have to familiarise yourself with Einstein’s theory of relativity. There are some excellent documentaries free to access on the internet that do a good job explaining it in an understandable way. Putting this in context to this work, it means that when certain conditions are met, time will stand still. Interesting then that I and others associate the light with the side of good, and darkness as something evil. And interesting also that when you look out at the night sky, much of it is dark. Our light is locally strong in our solar system, but this universe looks much like our night sky everywhere.

Now lets get more fringe than you might be used to from me. Traveling at the speed of light results in you not experiencing any time. That is the condition you need to be in. Another way for you to not experience time is to move into a gravitational field that is infinitely strong, meaning going beyond the event horizon of a black hole. If certain conditions are met that make time grind to a halt, that means it must be possible to free ourselves from time. But the ways I mention prior both involve conditions. And if you wish to experience timelessness in this vessel than I am sorry to say but that is impossible. When time stands still for you, either because you somehow found a way to move at the speed of light, or fell into a black hole, or by some other means I do not know about, it means your clock stops, but the clock of the rest of the universe won’t. You’ll be bathed in the radiation of all photons that would ever hit you at your locations over the whole of time. This is one of the conundrums physicists discuss when talking about hypothetical future endeavours that involve traveling at light speed.

It basically means you’d not survive. But maybe that’s the point of it? We cannot cheat our way to become God, obviously. But still it means it is possible, just not as this vessel. What if I imagined a vessel without any dependencies? Could a thought be a vessel? Well, a thought requires a thinker. That’s a condition, so still not what we’re looking for. What about truth? I wrote that knowledge leads to objective truths that are only true in this reality, but wisdoms lead to fundamental truths that are true in any reality, not just this one. Can a wisdom be a vessel? I think so. I once wrote that Angels are manifestations of wisdom. In the context of this appendix this makes even more sense. A truth doesn’t require anyone to believe it to be true. A truth is something that depends on nothing to be true. But that only goes for fundamental truths, of course. The objective truths in this reality are only true here. It confirms objective truths are the evil counterfeit to the fundamental truths of good. And if objective truths are only true in this reality, then that is their dependency, confirming once more the mechanics behind evil, existing through dependencies.

Imagine then that the spirits that once died as humans chose to side with the dualistic side of the army of good in this world, thinking they’d support the real God, are spirits that in essence vowed to embody an objective truth. They are angels, but only in this reality. But should a spirit choose to embody a fundamental truth, that spirit will become truly timeless, just like a true Angel of the Lord. An Angel of the Truth. But I don’t think we are ready for that choice just yet. I think we’re all spiritual younglings. Whenever I converse with the beyond that guides me, I kinda feel like a pet dog. I don’t mean to say I think they see or treat me as a pet, but the dynamic between us is comparable. I cannot truly converse with them, but can only opt to observe and play along, just like a pet dog. A dog can’t say its name, but it does know its name when he hears it. I think in a similar way I and others are spiritually able to understand what the beings that embody wisdom convey to us. We can’t speak it, but we can hear it.

When I visit the spiritual realm when in the twilight between sleep and awake, I find I am most often very much inclined to view that world from my human perspective, subjecting my experiences to a view of dualism. I constantly expect either a friend or a foe. I therefore can assume that when I die, and I find myself confronted with a choice of how to continue, I am likely to opt for an existence of dependency, not being able to see outside the matrix just yet. And that isn’t shameful or sad; this reality truly is a complicated spiritual ecosystem. I don’t think most of us are spiritually mature enough to realise the full palette of choices we have for the great choice ever after, and I think we just gradually gravitate towards what we find most fitting, and that is possibly subject to dark manipulation for the weaker spirits. But surely there’s also guidance for the higher spirits. The entities I spoke about in the previous appendix probably also have their counterparts; beings that live by eliciting positive emotions in us from which they feed themselves. Though a life of dependency, is that really all that evil? Is someone who wants to fight in the army of the light to slay demons an evil person? There’s a gradient of levels of both evil and good in the dualistic properties of this reality, that each have a severity to them. And although both sides play their part in keeping this matrix in tact, there are differences in motivation, and there is true good even in dualistic good.

So eventually we become God, by going through the experience of all there is to experience. But then this got me thinking. Isn’t that a condition then? If we can only appreciate Heaven by going through hell, if we can only understand every being and let them be by living through each and everyone of their lives, is that then not a sign of evil through its implied dependency? Surely there should be no conditions to the existence of a deity that is the ultimate good. What are we missing? That would be the arrow of time. I think God is free of time, and our way to him is finding a way to travel backwards in time. Think about how our lives would unfold if the end was the beginning. Our bodies would not decay in the ground, but worms and bacteria would excrete this body, that would eventually begin to move and live a life. Instead of living from other beings it would create other beings. It would produce an apple from its mouth, go out to the field and hang the apple on a branch of a tree. In reverse, everything we do is the opposite of what we do when we play our live’s events in the determined direction. Maybe time as we experience it is flowing backwards, and reverse is the actual key to the divination of God. The light at the end of the tunnel is perhaps the event of the big bang.

The big bang might be that mirror surface I spoke about in the Scrolls. The flip side where evil and good are truly distinguished. Maybe if we go back far enough in our timeline, we can punch through that event into the other side. But to get there we need to choose a spiritual path that leads back to where we came from. We need to reverse time. When time reverses, we become creators. The way we all came into existence is through the creation of ourselves. We are God. Wanting to go through all this pain was the path of most resistance. God is our future self talking back to us about his struggles.

I think that I broke my own rules through this Appendix. When I started out I did not want to expand on my work of the Scrolls. Yet, with this Appendix I think I did that. Though I do understand why I did not publish these notes in the Scrolls. At the time I did not fully understand where the notes took me. Having read back the Scrolls a few times myself while I was writing this Appendix brought the direction of these notes into focus. In the end the Appendices are meant to better understand my work and I think this Appendix will fulfil this purpose well. It makes me wonder how many other revelations are hidden away in old notes and in the Scrolls. It wouldn’t surprise me if there are things in there I hadn’t connected yet.

02. From the Shadows

Published: 07-09-2025 
Updated: 08-09-2025 

This is the second appendix. It too serves to add to my work without expanding on it. At least not too much. It’s meant for those that read my work whole, meaning both the Scrolls and the Dream Journal. I want to give you more insights into the dark shadowy entities I’ve encountered in my dreams as detailed in the Dream Journal, and link that to the revelations from the Scrolls. What I will do first is detail a couple of dream experiences to you that didn’t make it into the Dream Journal. I’d pledged to only publish dreams I was sure I could accurately date. The dreams below only made it to paper after much time had passed before I was able to accurately detail them, but they were quite profound. I will then compare them with the encounters of shadow entities others have had, and link that to the work of Jerry Marzinsky – a retired psychotherapist that worked with paranoid schizophrenics who hear voices. 

This first dream I had at around the year 2014, but let me start by giving you some much needed backstory. At that time I was still together with my ex, and things between us were as far as I knew good. I still lived with my parents at the time, even though I was 30 years of age. My brother had moved out about a year before, but was now back because he had a mental breakdown. Our rooms were the two small rooms of the attic. Since he had moved out I had opted to get the whole attic to myself, and moved my bed to his old room. Now that he was back he was sleeping in my old room on a mattress on the floor. It wasn’t ideal but it worked. He wasn’t doing well though, having nightmares and seeing shadowy figures in his dreams and half-awake state that tormented him. These were things I occasionally experienced as well, but by far not as much as he was at that time.

There was something in that house, I swear it. Something evil. Ever since I was little I would sometimes find myself waking up paralysed, unable to move my limbs, and there would be all kinds of things audible and/or visible. It often starts with sounds, mostly just static noise that builds up in volume until it becomes deafening. It can also sound like a turbine spinning up. I’ve heard someone describe it like an industrial washing machine that’s holding bricks. This is the range you should imagine for these events. The sounds come in many varieties, but will always be repeating and loud, becoming ever louder. Now, imagine laying in your bed, awake, unable to move, and hearing these sounds approach. It’s not fun, but it gets much scarier. Sometimes just under the loud noises I would hear people scream like they are in terrible pain and agony. A few times I’ve even heard the distinct sound of babies and young children hysterically crying their lungs out. And once the sounds have settled, the entities come.

Many things can appear. Often it’s just one or more shadow entities. These entities look like 3d shadows. They can be the form of puffy clouds, or roughly the silhouette of a humanoid, or sometimes sharp shadows with a very clear outline. But they are not shadows on the wall or something; they actually walk free. They are the darkest of black. I’ve seen them depicted as semi transparent, but that’s incorrect. They are opaque. They might not seem to be completely 100% there, but you cannot see through to them. I’ve once seen one that wasn’t opaque, though they seemed to be made out of a sort of static noise like you’d see on old television screens that are turned on without being tuned to a channel. Some sport eyes, mostly red, sometimes yellow. Others have seen other eye colours, but I haven’t. Sometimes one of them wares an old gentlemen’s hat. That one seems to be higher in rank than the others. They speak with a horrid voice, either high pitched screeching or low rumbling.

Something that can accompany them, or that sometimes precedes them is that the walls start bleeding black tar, or black smoke starts filling the room which further obscures the view. I’ve mostly seen the smoke when it was morning and I was sleeping in, meaning there was much light in the room already because the sun was up. After all this, the torment really starts. They might try to choke me, or scare me by intimidating me, towering over me, or telling me all kinds of things to get me to be scared. And often times I was. But I’ll have you know that over time I’ve gotten used to these events, and many times I’ve challenged them. Even though the experiences are still scary, I started noticing that all that would happen was this routine of theirs – while I was trying to snap out of it – and when I did I woke up in my bed and nothing had really happened to me. I don’t know when exactly I realised it, but one time when they came, I understood this would just be over in a few minutes, and this immediately changed the power balance between me and them, slightly towards my favour. It was less scary from then on.

Many times I’ve challenged them verbally. When paralysed, I cannot speak, but I found out they are able to hear your thoughts, cause I thought what I wanted to say and they reacted to it. I told them they had no real power over me, that I would just wake up and they’d be gone. They hated that. It angered them greatly. I’ve also discovered that when I repeated to them the phrases: “Who are you! What do you want from me!” that it weakens them. They don’t want to answer, and they opt to leave if I persist, though they will return in days. But a few times I actually battled them. I remember one time I got angry at them, and somehow burst out of my body in spirit, grabbed the main one with both my hands around his neck, trying to choke him back. This took them completely by surprise, and they couldn’t do anything but wait out my assault. I slammed him across the room, against the walls, my closet, the door, and I tried to bash his head in with one fist as I kept my hold on him with my other hand.

But it seemed I was unable to do any permanent damage this way. He wouldn’t take any lasting damage, but also wouldn’t really yield. He kept struggling. Though that said I was overpowering him and I could feel that the thing was scared shitless, truly truly shitless. I kept going, kept hitting him, slamming him into things, trying to break something, until I realised it was pointless. The moment I let go these entities fled through the walls. I had to walk back to my body and “crawl” back into my husk as it laid there on the bed before I woke up. When I did I woke up immediately. After this happened, they stayed away from me for many months. And let me emphasise that these encounters are rare. They were frequent enough for me to consider this a recurring thing, but rare enough for me to take long to learn how to handle it. But over time my offences in that realm slowly grew. I’ve imagined myself being able to shoot some kind of plasma beams from my forehead, and I have zapped them with it. I can’t be sure but I think this actually did hurt whatever physique they seem to have. But after a lifetime of encounters, I’ve learned that the best thing to do is to remain as calm as can be, and talk to them.

I just talk to them. They are deceivers. They want to deceive me. They tell lies. They show me things that aren’t real and tell me things that aren’t true. And that’s what I tell them. I don’t acknowledge what they say, but just confront them with the truth. They are dishonourable deceivers, and they are just someone else’s bitch. I tell them that, and this hurts them. They are addicted to the desired response of their victims. Deny them that and present them a mirror, and they vanish. They simply vanish. And then I wake up and all is well. But these are the encounters in what I would call the twilight zone; the place between this reality and the dream world. I sometimes dream of them too. They seem to have a little bit more power in the dream realm, but so do I. In the dream world I am prone to taking control. I don’t mean to say that many dreams I have are lucid. I get lucid in my dreams on occasion, but they are quite rare for me. But I do however often seem to be able to just flip the script in my dreams and turn the tide.

A car that I am in that’s crashing is suddenly not crashing any more, because I don’t want it to. The dinosaur that’s about to bite me suddenly loses interest in me, because I don’t want to struggle with it any more. The sunset that is about to end suddenly extends, because I wanted to look at the sun a little longer. The place I am at hiding from angry people that were following me suddenly has a hatch that leads me to another place, because I wanted that to be the case. When I wake up and recall that part of the dream it is so surreal, but in the dream while doing it, it was just a thing I sometimes do. And this has been one of my major strengths against these beings in the dream realm. Their antics are mostly smoke and mirrors. This is what I learned: The only power they have over you is the power you think they have over you. Once you realise you can chose them to have no power over you, it will become your reality.

It’s a pretty heavy backstory but there it is. Keep this in mind as you read these dreams. I’ll issue a little bit of a warning though; the first dream starts a bit lewd. This first dream is titled: Screwing with the devil. Here it goes. The dream took place in the same place and time I was outside of the dream. I was in my brother’s old room, on the bed, and I was having sex with a beautiful young woman with black long hair. In the dream she was Polish or possibly Russian. She was on her hands and knees and I was behind her. It was fun at first but suddenly the realisation kicked in that I was in fact cheating on my girlfriend with this girl. “How could I do that? I love her?!” But then I wondered: “Who the hell is this girl, and how did I end up in this situation? I don’t know any Russian girls?!” I stopped performing my deed. From there it dawned on me it was a dream. I became lucid. And as I did, the girl started talking to me.

She told me I would be going to hell, because I was cheating. Me – somehow fully aware I was dreaming but not aware of what was in front of me – actually countered her. “No I’m not. This is a dream. You’re fake. Can’t go to hell for something I didn’t do.” But she was adamant: “It doesn’t matter if it is real or not, cause you desired it and acted out that desire.” “That’s not how it works. I had this dream not by choice. I found myself here” I countered her. “And the reason I found myself here is a subconscious desire to reproduce. The Lord made me that way. It’s not something I choose to have.” But then the girl morphed. Her voice changed into a dark low whisper, as her dead turned 180 degrees, and she turned into a hellish looking goat: “No.. You’re wrong.” Two goat paws with hoofs and all, pushed against my shoulders, and its eyes turned red. As it did it closed the distance to my face with its head, and touched my forehead with its forehead. I stared into these red glowing eyes, and I was afraid.

It no longer spoke, and turned its head to look outside. Through the window I saw the world had changed into hell. It was raining fire, everything was aflame, and the world was dark with red and orange glows everywhere. I also saw something else. There was a man outside, hanging upside down, dangling from a rope. The window I looked out of was in a sloped roof, and what I saw could not be possible to see from this angle in real life, but in the dream it was what I saw somehow. This man was bound by the ankles with a rope that was attached around the rather large chimney of the house. He was dangling in stormy winds, and covered in some kind of white cotton bandages, that had caught on fire. He was otherwise naked. I looked at him and I recognised his face. It was me. I was dangling there. Maybe it was my soul? Together with the evil entity I looked at myself outside. The version of me outside was suffering horribly. So this was really it? I was going to hell because of this dream?

But then suddenly I realised the unfairness of it all. I have a dream I did not ask for, and that puts my number up in hell? No way would a fair God stand for this. I defied the verdict. This was unfair, and put both my hands on the neck of the hell goat, and I started squeezing. At first it was difficult and I could feel the entity did not take a liking to my deviance. I told him: “This isn’t fair! God would not stand for this!” The more I pressed on, the more strength I got over the being. I pushed down both my thumbs and kept pushing and pushing until I could feel my thumbs on the other side where my fingers were around its neck. The creature started panicking, and tried to get away from me, trying to push me off with its paws. But I did not move. I squeezed and squeezed. I was truly set on killing this evil thing. Its menacing eyes had changed from confident anger to panicked fright, and it once again turned its head to look outside. I too looked, and I saw that I was no longer dangling from that rope outside. A copy of the goat had replaced me, and was now in the situation I saw my soul version in just a minute ago. As I saw that, I realised I was having a tangible effect on the outcome.

I kept choking this monster and it panicked and panicked. I think it was about to die as its resistance to my attack weakened and weakened, and it struggled less and less. But then I woke up. I was drenched in sweat. Absolutely wet, like I had pissed the bed. My heart was racing in my chest, my heartbeat pulsating through my neck and limbs. What was that? For the longest time I believed it to have been an encounter with the devil himself. I’m not so sure now, but I am however sure this was a high ranking evil of some kind. This was not some shadow entity foot soldier, harvesting the fear tree. No, this was a targeted attack on me personally. Some months passed and I broke up with my now ex-girlfriend. Turns out, she had been cheating on me. I had my own mental break down, the break up being part of the catalyst for that, would move out of the house into a student dorm house. During the three years I lived there I sure made up for what I had missed in my youth. Oh, and my brother told me that after I had that dream experience, his dreams were a lot calmer. I had scared away something very evil.

So fast forward to about a year later. I moved out of my parents’ house, and I was suffering/recovering from my own mental break down. But as I was, all kinds of things fell into place. My study was going totally bad. I was flunking some tests or just didn’t show up at all. My work where I was contracted as a temporary teacher until I graduated had to let me go because I was without teaching papers for another year. The university was in my neck threatening to invalidate the tests results on the subjects I did pass because graduating was taking me so long. And I had broken up with what I considered at the time to be the love of my life. I was seeing a psychotherapist while I moved out, and that helped in many ways. It was good to talk to someone who was neutral and get to the things that were weighing on me, but also practical in that I could show the university I was in a bad place and was undergoing psychotherapy. I never told my therapist about the dream experiences. Even though I was almost 31 I was still eligible to apply for a student dorm room, because I was still studying.

This was my luck, cause it granted me a cheap place to live. I couldn’t have afforded an apartment or something, especially without work. This student dorm room made things possible that would otherwise not be possible. I had saved up a considerable amount of money though in my time as temporary teacher, cause I worked a lot and didn’t spent a dime. This allowed me to live in the student dorm without having to work, and granted me the peace and quiet I needed to focus on my future. I was searching for who I wanted to be. Things about home fell into place too. I finally was able to see how completely insane the last 20 years of my life had been, living under the care of my parents. My mother especially came into my focus as the person who was at the centre of all conflicts, and I realised she had kept me dependant on her. I never thought I could leave that house, unless I graduated and got me the best job I could think of. I was constantly afraid of failing my parents, and the thought of not being able to move out was equally as scary to me as actually moving out, because I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to live on my own. That’s how low my self-esteem was at the time.

While moving out I had to clear the attic of my belongings. As I did, things turned up I had long forgotten about. It was like digging through my past. Many memories turned up which helped me see the truth about my parents much more clearly. But many other memories too. One things I found really stuck out to me. I used to have an iguana, named Barry. Barry’s story much resembles that of Raenk – a bearded dragon I had before I got Barry. He too was brought to the herpetological centre where I worked at years before. He was put in a box in front of the door of the shop one morning. We didn’t have the space to accommodate such a large reptile without prior notice. I had offered to keep him in my room, which with all the many terrariums at the time was a comfortable temperature for a reptile. But Barry had died years ago when I finally moved out. When clearing out my room I found 3 nails of Barry behind one of the terrariums. He sometimes lost them as I got his nails stuck in the ventilation mesh of the terrariums he often rested on. Finding these brought tears to my eyes. It was such a tangible thing to his long passed presence in my life.

These nails would become the basis of something new I’d decided to do. I bought myself a silver necklace, and made two of the nails into pendulums that could hang from it, and along with them I gathered more things that would be fitting both in size and in meaning to me to decorate this necklace. I never before in my life wore any jewellery, but now I never took it off unless I was taking a shower. This was a new thing, and this practice helped me get my bearings for who I was and who I wanted to be. It gave me purpose in a time where I was unstable. But I wasn’t unstable because of the situation I was in. I was at rock bottom, so I had nothing left to lose. This situation allowed me to see the truth of my being, which is that I had always been mentally weak, and realising that was the first step in overcoming that weakness. From there on, all I could do was climb. And so I did. The student dorm stood very near a forested area of my home town, and I would go there many many times, especially during the late hours. I found peace and solitude there, and talked to the trees, the animals, and the stars when they were out. Man, I had such a good time there. Even though I was hurting from my whole world collapsing in on me, the forest felt so welcoming and understanding. I grew into the man I am now right there in that forest at a very special spot for me.

But during this time I had many dream experiences too, as detailed in the Dream Journal. This next dream did not make it in though, because I had no time to type it out that morning, and didn’t find the time to do it until weeks later. I had already forgotten many things about it, of which too the date. That’s why this never made it into the journal, but I’ve always felt that this was a real loss because what happened was truly telling in much the same way as the previous dream written here in this appendix. I’ve even contemplated making up a date, but that just felt wrong. I had to play by my own rules. The idea of the appendices opened up the door for me to share it within my own framework, and I think it works well for this format. This next dream I’ll call: The Burning Necklace. I have a good estimate for when I had this experience. I lived in the student dorm for sure, which puts it at the beginning of April 2015 earliest, but it happened before I met my wife, which means about early July that same year at its latest. I’m inclined to think this happened closer to April, so around April or May that year. And this is what I remembered.

I woke up from a dream and found myself in a kind of luminal space. A luminal space is a room or corridor but without any features. Think about the backdoors from the Matrix movies, for example. In this case I was in a featureless room. It was rectangle in shape, quite narrow and long. I was laying on a bed. Everything was white in colour; the walls, the ceiling, the bedsheets, and even a door. The long side of the bed stood towards the long side of the room. The place where my head rested was on the side of the wall, so I could see the whole room from where I laid. The short side of the bed stood evenly in the middle of the wall behind it, meaning there was equal space on the left and the right should I want to get out of the bed. But I couldn’t move. I was paralysed. The door was on my right side, and was close to the foot end of the bed. The room was much deeper than needed to accommodate this bed. I was laying there, thinking to myself what was going to happen next. This was a new experience for me. I wasn’t scared, but a bit on edge. I laid there for about a minute without anything happening. Then the door opened.

It opened away from the bed. In the door opening stood my ex. Her mouth had a piece of tape over it, though that later disappeared. This would be the case in a later dream too by the way, as you probably recall. But she didn’t speak, taped or not. She did look very scared though. It was like she wasn’t allowed to speak. She just stood there and looked at me. She looked me in the eyes sometimes, but would mostly just scan the outline of my body under the blankets. Then more people gathered in the hallway. My ex walked in, and more people entered. They were all familiar people; my parents, other family members, friends, house mates, old colleagues, and so on and so forth. And they acted the exact same way as my ex; frightened and silent. They’d gather in the door opening, but as more people pushed in they gathered around the bed, looking me over with fear in their eyes. It was as if they were frightened before hand not to speak and were still in fear because of that intimidation.

It was so weird. I contemplated whether or not I had died. Was the room I was in perhaps a morgue, or a farewell room of a funeral home? The room was now very crowded. Nobody spoke. It was completely silent. But as they stood there another person came in from the hallway. This person was a man with a hat, wearing what seemed to be some kind of trench coat, but he was otherwise completely featureless. And I mean that in the same way as I describe the shadow entities. It is very hard to explain this, but he was there, yet I can say nothing about him, apart from the hat and the trench coat. If he had a colour, I would say it was black, but I didn’t even recall that. But he felt much the same as the shadow entities, and he too acted the same way. He sneaked in, and I could see some people – completely afraid of him – give him room, and I saw he reached into his trench coat with his left hand to get something. Intuitively I knew he was going to grab a gun and shoot me. And as he pulled his hand back from his coat indeed a pistol with a long silencer on the end appeared. I reacted intuitively too. Somehow, I was fearless.

In an instance I had broken the hold of the paralysis on me, levitated out of the bed, and rushed towards entity. In a fraction of a second before he could do anything, I had my right hand on his left wrist of the hand he held the gun with, and my left hand on his throat, and I forced him onto the ground, me on top of him. He remained calm and spoke with a vicious voice: “You are becoming a real problem for us.” My response was short and to the point: “You won’t be able to stop me from doing what I want to do.” It looked down towards my chest, where in this reality my necklace dangled in front of his face. He grabbed it with his right hand, saying: “This thing gives you power…” While he said it and grabbed it tighter to – I think – pull it loose from my neck, I interjected him: “Then it will burn in the hands of those that want to harm me.” But the moment I uttered the word ‘burn‘ this entity absolutely screamed in the loudest most vile and vicious: “NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!” I affirmed my prior sentence: “Yes it will!” And as I said it I looked at the necklace which he had pulled from my neck, and as I did, I imagined it getting searingly hot.

Immediately smoke appeared where the hand of this entity touched the necklace, and I imagined it getting hotter and hotter. And it did, immediately, and became white orange in colour. It was hurting this entity, which again with the same intensity produced another “no!“, which was so loud it woke me up. I had to get up then and there, for some reason. I was late. This surreal experience shook me. It reminded me of the previous encounter with the devil goat. I stood up and walked to the mirror. In the mirror I saw my necklace was incomplete. One of the pendulums was missing. I checked the bed and there it was. Somehow it had gotten loose from the chain. It was a mineral stone, called red tiger eye. This stone was held with some kind of glue that was attached to a small ring by which it could be hung on the necklace. It wasn’t unthinkable that this would some day come loose from the ring, but to have it happen so quickly after I purchased it and especially the same night I had this experience to me is no coincidence. This was again a targetted attack.

I do not remember what I meant with the sentiment he wasn’t going to be able to stop me what I wanted to do. It could be this work. That’s the most logical thing to conclude, but then again I was not planning on writing all this yet. I was however taking notes for ideas I had, and that indeed was the basis of my published work. But when I woke up that morning I had no idea what it was about. But I think that this evil came to me twice in such a short amount of time speaks volumes for what I consider my spiritual potential, and I truly hope I can make a dent in the plans of these evil entities. But who are these evil entities? And what are they? Are they completely foreign to us? Are they alien in nature? Well, I think we are more alike than we care to know, and the next two dreams will show you just why I came to that conclusion. We are not that far removed from them on the spiritual plane, and I think that if we make certain decisions in life we might even become them. Like I wrote before somewhere in this work: ‘There are no answers. There are only choices.’

This next experience was a dream. I call this dream: Shadow Me. It was dreamt somewhere in 2015 or 2016. I was involved in some story, and I went along. It took place in a forested area. There were concrete high rise flats, scarcely spread around the area. It was quiet on the streets. Either much of the apartments were uninhabited or people really kept to themselves and lived a recluse life. In the dream the neighbourhood was quite new, so either (or both) was possible. I vaguely recall going into a shop that had all sorts of candy from the old days, before giant food corps existed. They also sold all kinds of toys, made by hand with woodcraft and such. A weird place. I think my sister was there, as too was my brother. I don’t recall too much about this dream to be honest, except its ending. The three of us had perhaps all walked away from our parents and now lived in this new neighbourhood, and my sister had arranged for us to be able to say goodbye to our aunt – our dad’s sister.

My aunt and uncle showed up on the parking lot of the apartments, and we walked around in this strange place. Some flats weren’t even finished, and all that stood there was the concrete skeleton structure, no windows, no doors, just the concrete. And I don’t recall exactly what or how, but after we had said our goodbyes to our aunt and uncle, and they’d left, there was suddenly an urgency. We were in danger from something, and I don’t recall what. I do recall running away. I kept running and running, and eventually I made it into one of the unfinished buildings, where I hid in one of the rooms while a dark figure was looking for me. I tried to slow my breathing, but that was difficult as I was totally out of breath from all the running. This alerted the creature to my location, and it came into the room where I was on the floor. It was a shadow entity, smoky in appearance. And it immediately attacked me, forced me to lay on my back on the floor as it put one hand on my neck and tried to choke me. I struggled but I barely could. I was totally out of breath.

I tried kicking him off with my feet, but I couldn’t. The more I fought the more tired I got, and the heavier my breathing became. But as I inhaled and exhaled, I noticed my deep breaths were mimicked by this creature. If I inhaled and exhaled deeply, with a short delay the creature did too. It suddenly became less scary, and I became curious. I tried to breathe in a particular order, and waited what happened. And sure enough the creature repeated this pattern exactly as I had produced it. I didn’t understand how, but I somehow found out that this creature was part of me. So, instead of fighting, I got the idea to tell it: “I love you.” It stopped trying to choke me, and with the same delay as the breaths before, it repeated in a whispering voice: “I love you.” And as it did, I could feel strength come back to me. I kept repeating it, adding in my name: “I love you, Willem. I love you.” And the creature, with the same mysterious whispering voice, repeated the words back to me, and even started hugging me. Every time I told it I loved it, I felt it grow spiritually, and every time it repeated it back to me, I felt less tired and out of breath. We ended up hugging each other, and I think he slowly changed into me. It was like I was hugging my twin. And that’s where this dream ended.

This was a very profound experience, I assure you. But the next one was even more profound. It was again a situation were I woke up paralysed. Let me give you the needed background first to set the stage. This dream happened somewhere between 2018 and 2020. Me and my wife now lived in a house. I had moved out of the student dorm after having lived there for exactly 3 years (to the date!). I’d graduated and was a licenced biology teacher now. Though I worked as a lab assistant at a school, where I taught biology, chemistry, and physics. It was a wonderful time. Loving wife, nice house, well paying job, and no contact with my parents for years. I finally felt like I had made it in live, and I did it without any help of my parents. It is one of the best times of my life. The date is so broad because I haven’t a clue when exactly this dream happened. I only recall it because I’ve often told other people about this dream, so I can still recall it in detail. But somehow I never got around to typing it out, and I am doing so now out of memory still. The only clues I have are which room we slept in and the date my dad died. Those give me dates I can work with to narrow it down.

In this house we have 3 rooms upstairs, of which one is small and the others big. We slept in the small room the first 2 to 3 years after moving in. This experience took place in the small room, so it for sure was at its earliest in April 2018 when we got the house, and at its latest October 2020, which is before my dad passed away, which he did in early September 2020. So it must’ve happened somewhere between these dates. But what exactly happened? I’ll call this experience: Framing my dark side. Here’s what happened. I woke up in that little room, and I was paralysed again. I could hear my wife breathe, the room was very dark. I could barely move my head, but something to the left of me caught my eyes. The room was very small, so the bed on my side stood against the wall, so that on the other side my wife could get out of bed easily, and she could have a night stand with a alarm clock and some lady things. I was agile enough to climb over her without waking her if I needed to go to the toilet.

But as I said I saw something to the left of me on the wall. There was movement where I didn’t expect any to be. With great difficulty I was able to turn my head towards the wall, where I saw something surreal. On the wall was a rectangle shape, in landscape layout, about 4 feet wide and 2 or 3 feet high. It was like a painting or a window, but the edges where blurred, like the wall was dissolved inwards, and what remained of the wall bled like smoke into the middle part. Soon I realised this was an open portal. Looking through this portal, I saw another room, darker even than my own bedroom was. This room was very familiar to me. This was the baby room in my parents’ house; the room which would eventually become my sister’s room, and in later dreams showed the place where my brother was suffering from sickness and depression. This room is the smallest of the house. I viewed this rectangle room from all the way in the back. The portal connected to this room on its shortest wall, opposite to the wall where the door is. And I heard sounds coming from that room on the other side of the portal.

Through this portal I heard the distinct sound of a baby crying. And it was the kind of crying a really really young baby makes. When a baby is only a few weeks old, there is no mass to their voice. When they cry, it sounds soft and tender, even if they are crying hysterically. And this was that kind of cry. But it wasn’t just any baby. I don’t understand how, but in this experience I knew for a fact that this baby was me. I somehow recognised the sound of my own voice in it. If you’d have a tape of me crying as a baby, and lined this track up in between the crying of other babies, I am very sure I couldn’t tell which baby is me and which is not. But during this experience I was absolutely sure that was me crying. I recognised it exactly, and I recall remembering that I actually cried like that. The portal connected not just through space, but also through time, and on the other side of the portal was me, as a baby. I tried to see what was going on, but the baby room on the other side was very dark.

My eyes slowly got more used to the darkness in that room, and slowly I was able to distinguish ever more items in the room. I could make out the crib on the other end of the room. In there must be my little self. But why was I crying so loudly? I remembered that my mom had told me and my siblings often that I was the biggest cryer of her three children. I presumably had kept my parents up many nights, crying and crying. I just wouldn’t stop crying. Although I still didn’t understand how this portal came to be – and do know that as far as I knew, I was awake and this was real – I thought that perhaps this was a good opportunity for me to try and find out why I was crying. So I searched the room, looking for clues, still getting used to the darkness in that room. Until I saw something. Something moved. Something dark. As slowly my eyes got ever more used to the darkness in that room I could eventually make out 3 black shadow entities. They stood around the crib, and one of them had their hand inside the crib.

This angered me greatly. Those sick fucks were terrorising a baby. I didn’t even care that this was me nor that it was in a past that had already happened. It was unfair, and it triggered me. But I couldn’t move, I couldn’t shout, there was nothing I wanted to do that worked. I wanted to go through the portal and show them what I was capable off, but I was kept in paralysis. But then I thought to myself: “What if I intensely focus on the entity that has their hand in the crib? What if I challenge him and dare him to come to me. At least he would leave the baby alone.” I tried this, and it actually worked. It immediately drew the attention of the main entity in that room. It looked up, and it seemed to understand I was trying to intervene in their activity. Upon that realisation, it rapidly approached the portal, jumped through, and put both its two hands around my neck. Upon this the portal closed behind him. “Good!” I thought to myself.

I’m not sure what triggered it – maybe the portal closing, or the sensation of someone suddenly jumping on my chest trying to choke me, or the adrenaline rush of it all – but I was no longer paralysed. The instant this creature sat on me, I grabbed its hands and pushed him off me. I pushed him so hard, he bounced against the door and wall on the foot side of the bed. It got back up again, and I raised my right fist to ready my next countermove. It too raised its fist, the left one. I stretched my left arm in anticipation of him jumping me, and it too stretched its hand, his right one. It mirrored my movements, and it did so instantaneously. It looked like he was mimicking me, but doing so without delay. I waved and it waved back. I waved both my hands, and so did the creature. It somehow was my own shadow now, but still 3D. I was casting this shadow. And indeed all around it was light, and I was breaking that light with my own body, sitting on the bed. So then I thought: “But then where is all that light coming from?” And I looked over my shoulder, and saw my wife, sitting as the Buddha, levitating about 1 foot above the bed, shining the brightest of light on me. And then I woke up, for real.

Now these experiences are all important for how I proceed in this appendix, but they do not stand on their own. The other experiences in the Dream Journal too are important for this appendix. And I want to emphasize again that these experiences are mostly rare, and also that what I experience on what I call ‘the other side of the veil’ is not just all bad. There are some wonderful experiences that took place there too, some of which you can read in the Dream Journal. So what are they, these shadow entities? The last two experiences shared in this appendix tell me that there is a connection between us and them. I think that we – human beings – are both capable of dark and light. We reside in a spiritual twilight. If you’ve read all the Scrolls you know that I believe our world is a spiritual ecosystem, with many sides, all with their own agendas. And we can either fall and service/feed the evil, or we can overcome this darkness and rise to become one with the light.

I think that the shadow entities were once physical human beings, like you and I. Maybe they are the remnants of what is left of spirits that took the road towards darkness, and who are on a journey down into the trench of good and evil. They are at least some distance down from us, spiritually, and I think they are the corrupted disembodied souls of once evil doing people, who have passed and who now have become very disfigured from their spiritual nature, serving a greater evil purpose. But there are more possibilities, because not every encounter is the same. There is an overall draft of the shadow entities between my own experiences and to those of others, but there are those rare deviations where how the creatures appear and/or what they do differs from that draft. Within the framework of my own writings it is possible that an entity that is higher in rank chooses to no longer want to serve their master. Though I imagine this to be exceedingly rare, it may serve to explain how some encounters stand more on their own and are not per say that easy to explain any other way. Or perhaps an evil entity will be demoted to shadow entity by a higher rank after failure.

In a truly spiritual ecosystem there are many possibilities. But let me focus now on experiences by others. The things I’ve experienced thus far are all in a way incredible, but I am in no way unique in having had these experiences. You will find stories about these entities throughout time, but those were mostly written off as mysticism, or figure of speech things, or as hallucinations. No historian seems to take the claims of the people of our past at face value. They came from a time of scientific ignorance and superstition, and thus they reason they must be the product of flawed thinking. But today the encounters and experiences people have can be shared more easily through podcasts, blogs, and other media. I do believe however that there is a host of fake stories out there too, put there by the establishment, so that people can never hear a real untainted encounters without also reading about anti-spiritual bologna. But there are people like me who will recognise others like us in a split second for being of the same kind, and who’s experiences easily rival those of mine in their profoundness and otherworldliness. And these further illustrate that what we’re dealing with is something that isn’t all that different from us ourselves.

There is a documentary, called ‘The Nightmare’ (2015) by Rodney Ascher, which details a lot of these experiences. But you’ll be hard pressed to find the original. It was on Netflix briefly, but it has since been taken off. Go on YouTube and you’ll find a documentary by the same name, supposedly from 2009, supposedly made by Paradox Studios, but you shouldn’t waste your time. It’s complete shit. On the large aggregate sites a movie of the same name, also made in 2009, is shown first when searching this documentary. It seems when searching for ‘the nightmare’ you’ll be led into a dead end. But look a little bit more extensively and you’ll find it. It’s worth your time if you are invested into this topic and want to learn more. This documentary adds to this appendix in that it confirms others have had these kinds of experiences too, but it does more. It also showed that the things people experienced differed from place to place. I can confirm this too. I’ve only ever heard the ambient cries of children in pain at my parents’ house, for example. The entities I encountered in the student dorm house were also different from those at my parents’ house, and the house I now live in. I have never encountered one when on holiday over the border.

So – at least some of – these entities seem to be bound to a place. And there’s more. In that documentary one of the persons being interviewed who is prone to these experiences recalls an event. He and his girlfriend had a female friend sleep over in their house. They lived in a small apartment, so they all had to sleep in the same bed, and it was quite cramped. As he went to sleep the paralysis immediately kicked in, and he was confronted with a huge towering shadow monster that was intimidating him. The creature had red glowing eyes, and it told him this: “I know who you are. You don’t know who I am right now, but I know you and you know me, and you… are going to die!” But as he was having this horrifying experience he was suddenly snapped out of it by the visiting girl who screamed her lungs out in panic and sat up right in bed, crying hysterically. He and his girlfriend tried to calm her down, figuring she must’ve had a bad dream or something. As she calmed down she was able to explain what had happened. Unknowing to her that one of her hosts just had one of his own paralysis experiences she details how she was unable to move, and saw a cat with red glowing eyes sit on her chest, whispering evil things to him – the guy – in a language she didn’t understand.

This is quite a spooky experience, but putting that aside it also confirms that this is not just an experience within one person, but an experience of something that must be outside of us. I will come back to that later on, but let me share one last profound thing that is also shared in the documentary. One of the experiencers is now a born again Christian, cause she had one of these experiences, and somehow got the idea of invoking the name Jesus to whatever force confronted her. When she did, the evil disappeared. And this is something recurring too. I’ve read and heard about many such examples. As soon as people invoke Jesus or Angels, the evil will go. It might return some days, weeks, months, or even years later, but every time you invoke a heavenly force and ask it to help you, the entities immediately bolt out of there. And I too can confirm this. Before I discovered I could fight them myself I sometimes called the help of Michael, the Archangel. For some reason that felt right for me at the time. And indeed, as soon as I call out to him, the evil releases me.

Let me tie this in with the last part of this appendix, and mention the work of one Jerry Marzinsky. He is a retired psychotherapist who has been working most of his professional life with people diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. To set the stage, you should know that paranoid schizophrenia is a disorder that is said to be incurable, determined the medical establishment as per their DSM (diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders). If you’re diagnosed with it, it is said you’re going to hear voices for life. How do you get diagnosed? Do they take a blood sample? Do they map the brain activity through some kind of test sequence? No. You tell a psychiatrist you hear voices and you get the label. But what is causing people to hear voices? What is the medical explanation? During the early days of psychology, it was said that it was through trauma. But soon it was found that people without any trauma could start to hear voices too. Maybe it was something the mother did when they were kids. This was also dismissed after some time.

But then what could it be? Genetics was blamed. It must be a genetic trait. That held its place for a while, until the geneticists got better and found no genetic marker. Well, obviously it must be caused by many genes, which again over time showed to be incorrect. The claim it must be caused by hundreds of genes seemed to be too much of a reach for most scientists, so a new culprit was blamed; it is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. Apparently the brain chemistry is perfectly balanced, and when out of balance it will start producing these audible voice hallucinations. And this has been the prevailing narrative for decades. Which chemicals are out of balance? Well, funny you should ask, cause there is no research that shows exactly what is going on, chemically. That’s why there’s no biochemical tests to indicate whether or not someone is schizophrenic. This is something Jerry Marzinsky noticed when he was a fresh graduate. Marzinsky’s testimonies are compelling. People who hear voices are hallucinating, because the manual says so. Marzinsky thought that to be strange.

How is it determined which drugs someone gets? It’s a gamble. They try a few different drugs to see which gives the best results. Sure, they quiet down the voices, though people still report hearing them. And without these drugs some patients in mental hospitals were quite violent and would require many staff members to put them in straight jackets. The drugs calmed them down, and drugs are much cheaper than hiring more staff. That’s why these drugs have been adopted as the golden method of treatment. But in their essence these drugs are tranquillisers, and they are incredibly damaging to the brain. Marzinsky refers to studies that show that the brains of patients on these drugs shrink. When the pharmaceutical mafia refuted these claims, a followup study was done on rats, clearly showing shrinkage of the brains of rats on these drugs. Yet, these drugs are still prescribed to fix this supposed chemical imbalance. The claim of this chemical imbalance is still prevalent and being taught in educational medical institutes around the world, without a sliver of proof.

But the thing that pulled Marzinsky out of the slumbering blind acknowledgement of the DSM as the holy grail of psychological disorders was that in treatment the therapist was ordered never to acknowledge the voices. Don’t talk about the voices, don’t ask the patient what the voices are saying, don’t ever mention the voices other than to tell them to ignore them and that they aren’t real. They are hallucinations that come from a chemical imbalance in the brain, and talking about them in any sense other than that is dangerous because then the hallucinations become stronger. Again, no research to back this up. And to Marzinsky this was strange. If the hallucinations were caused by something chemical, the way these hallucinations expressed themselves could indicate something about the condition. During his professional life he went from a sceptic to someone with a different insight. He no longer believes these voices are hallucinations at all. He’s learned far too much to dismiss them as such.

Of the many things he found was that the voices that were talking to one person could have information about a conversation he had with another patient. He would find that all the patients experienced very similar things. The voices were always very negative and seemed intent to invoke negative emotions from the patients. And after a patient had a bad episode due to the voices, they were completely drained of mental stamina. Marzinsky would eventually find out that the so called hallucinations all hated Psalm 23 from the Bible. All of them! They also all hated it if the patient went to visit a session in church. After a while, looking at the evidence, he came to the conclusion the voices were parasites, feeding on the negative emotions of these people. He couldn’t explain how or why, or what they are in the greater scheme of things, but it was something he was sure off. And he found out that these voices, over many patients, hated it when he told his patients that he thought the voices are parasites. And as he told them, he could predict what the voices would tell the patients. He knew because he had the patients agree to tell him how the voices responded. And they all responded the same way over dozens of patients.

First they would say: “Don’t listen to this guy, he’s crazy. Stop listening. Tell him you don’t believe him.” Then if the patient didn’t acknowledge that, the voices would take it up a notch, demanding the patient leave the room: “Get out of there, he’s going to make you insane, he’s going to attack you!” And if that didn’t work, the voices would egg the patient on to attack Marzinsky. And he was able to convince these patients that these voices were not just coming from outside, cause what kind of hallucinations carry over from one person to the next? Why would hallucinations of different people all care which Psalm someone reads? And after a while of teaching ever more patients how to silence the voices, and more schizophrenics wanted to learn this, he told them: “Okay, I’m going to tell you something (which was that he thought they are parasites), and first, they’ll tell you not to listen to me, then they’ll tell you to leave, and then they’ll tell you to attack me.” Just for the patient to then tell Marzinsky that the voices had said in the hallway that that is what he was going to tell them, and so they should stop listening to him cause he can’t tell them anything new.

Marzinsky has had a lot of other revelations regarding schizophrenia. Once, the voices said through one of the patient that he had no right to interfere with their way of life, and was once even offered the winning numbers for a lottery if he would stop what he was doing. But besides the things he got back from his patients under his care, he also experienced a weird apparition in his room once, where a patient was present. It was some kind of seemingly electric phenomenon that traveled through the walls. Afterwards the patient had stated that “it was them” and that he didn’t think Marzinsky could see it too, because he’s used to others not being able to see them. Another one of his experiences I heard on a podcast with Marzinsky, where he detailed laying in bed and being pressed into the mattress by a strong hand, pushing on the back of his neck. This should be familiar to you if you’ve read the Dream Journal of my work. Another thing of note is that Jerry says he has had encounters with shadow entities a few times and prays to Archangel Michael. I found it funny that we both do/did that.

Let me bring this to its conclusion. You might have some work to do, reading up or listening to podcasts with Jerry Marzinsky, and indeed view that documentary The Nightmare (2015) too. I’ll end with that I think these phenomenon describe entities from the same realm. I think people who are schizophrenic may have an ability that is closer to what our innate spiritual abilities are. They are perceptive to that world. Taken from the context of my own work, it means they can connect to beings outside of this matrix which we consider our reality. It stands to reason that this system in which we live devised ways to make sure they cannot just escape this realm, or – even worse – wake others up to the truth behind their reality. No enlightened messages are allowed to enter the matrix through these people. But one thing Marzinsky had a bit of a disagreement about with one of his (now cured) patients is what these things do with our negative emotions. His former patient said they are addicted to it, claiming it’s a kind of drug for them, like catnip for cats. But Marzinsky thinks it’s an actual feeding activity, and these beings need it to sustain themselves.

If you see their claims through the lens of my work you know they are both wrong and right. We live in a matrix where we believe our existence is dependant on our sustenance too. Our instincts to eat are our addiction to this matrix. Therefore, the parasitic behaviour of these entities qualifies as them being addicted to it, thinking they cannot exist without it, just as a drug addict thinks they cannot live without their drugs. The entities I think are these disfigured souls that have dived deeper into the believe you can only exist at the cost of others, and have taken on a role in the functioning of this matrix that reinforces this believe, further stagnating them, further turning them more evil, unable to self-reflect. The shadow entities are the egos of souls long lost and turned dark. They have no face that they can reflect to, no way to express themselves in any other way than a vicious malicious presence. But they miss their physical lives and hunger for its pleasures. It was a time when they could express themselves more freely. Now, all they are to people is ghosts, and if they don’t scare anyone so they can feed on their emotions, they think they will perish.

I think us humans are in the twilight. We have both a soul and an ego. The question is which will win out over the other. And the answer is to love. I think if what my experiences show me it is that we have to understand that we are part of the darkness, just as much as we are part of the light, and that if we can learn to show our inner dark side some love, we light their candle, and they can grow spiritually. Should be however forever battle them, we will one day become them. The fight isn’t a tough spiritual fight because evil is so strong, but because we are so caught up in a dualistic view of the world that we cannot see that the world around us is just a representation of the struggles we fight within ourselves with aspects of ourselves. It all stems from a lack of self-love. Once we know how to shine our light on our evil will we cure the world of our evil. It is our spiritual challenge to overcome. And considering what the evil in this world has caused, I think it is going to be a long walk before humanity as a whole will be able and willing to forgive itself.

01. Cascading Collapse

Published: 31-08-2025
Updated: 02-09-2025 

This is the first appendix. Reading this appendix before reading the scrolls is pointless. You will not understand what everything means, and it might sound like I make good points mixed with bologna. Read the scrolls first and only then proceed to read this appendix. I do not know at this point if more appendices will follow, nor how many if so. My aim for the appendices section is to add to my work without expanding on it. What I wish to do in this appendix is put the changes I’ve seen in the world in the context of the work as I started publishing almost 10 years ago. May it help you better understand this work. 

The first appendix is about the current state of affairs in the world concerning the internet. Many new laws have come into effect concerning anonymity. Apparently the children are in danger now. There are online predators! We need to protect the children! Welcome to the new world of the ‘Online Safety Act’ (OSA). Who doesn’t want to protect the children? How can someone be against protecting children? Shortest answer; nobody, apart from those wanting to harm children. But why are governments acting now? And what are the proposed solutions? That requires a bit of explaining. The short answer of that being; this isn’t about protecting children. It’s a Trojan horse. The real reason is something most people have no idea about. Not even most fellow truthers see what’s actually behind it.

But let’s first explain how they are supposedly going to keep the children “safe” online. There’s been a major crackdown happening on many different fronts. I think Australia was first to forbid anyone that is not an adult by law to be on social media. It went by mostly unnoticed, and most the normies who heard about it through their mainstream media, only saw it as an affirmation of what they deep down inside felt was true; social media is bad for you. They saw this law in similar light as would they see laws preventing our youth from smoking and drinking. The UK was next. They went a few steps further. Kids should be protected against “adult” content by requiring anyone who wanted to consume this content to identify themselves.

When I use the words “adult content” you’re probably thinking about photos and videos of sexy women with little to no clothes on, performing certain acts, and you’re right that it includes these kinds of sites. But not just those. With the way this law is worded on paper, those websites are just a small part of it. It goes much further. Its description is “potentially harmful content for youth”, which is so broad it easily includes this website. Not that I want kids to read this website by the way, but that is not the point. The point is that this vague description opens up the door for anyone in power from using these new laws to silence voices they want silenced. Someone can either choose to not create or visit “harmful” content, or they can identify themselves to big brother when they make or view this kind of content. Anonymity in this system will be a thing of the past. This will either silence voices of dissidence, or will force them to expose themselves to the system.

This sets a dangerous precedence. Whistleblowers within the government or large corporations can be silenced before they even have a chance of going public, and everyone around them is incentivised not to help such a brave soul should they want to push ahead and step up the podium. This is just to name one thing, but there are so many more things that can and likely will eventually go south if these laws are implemented globally. I’ll circle back to that, but let me first continue on with what else is in store. Cause this was Australia and the UK. Laws of similar efforts are being discussed in the European Union and the United States. In the EU specifically the government wants access to everyone’s private messages. They want them scanned by AI to determine if a human authority figure should be alerted.

So don’t worry. Nobody is reading your messages or viewing your dick/titty pics; it’s all AI *wink wink*. There was my red flag when I read it, but I have a tendency to get ahead of myself so let me just take it as they stated it. They want this done to prevent child pornography from being able to be shared. “Save the kids..” AI will determine whether it should snitch on you or not. Alright. But one thing that stood out to me with all these new laws – implemented or still being drafted – is that they all put the burden of proof on the internet sources themselves. It is up to the sites themselves to determine whether each of their users is an adult or not. And not just that; failure to do this or even failing to do this adequately in their eyes will result in huge fines and penalties. Truly huge monetary consequences! How are all these sites going to do this? You can bet your ass that the mother of data collection – Google – will come with a solution. Let’s see how.

On YouTube (one of the many sister companies of Google) something new is being piloted in the US. They have announced they will start verifying the age of their users, so everyone under 18 can be shielded from “harmful content”. How? Through AI learning. That’s interesting. AI again? Where have we heard that before? Note that YouTube isn’t being forced to do this (yet). They are doing this seemingly on their own, without any legal pressure. YouTube claims they will use AI learning to gauge their users’ age by analysing their behaviour. When a user watches a lot of “kids content” it may assume you are a kid, and conclude you’re an adult if you watch a lot of content targeted to adults. YouTube also stated that the longevity of the YouTube account will also be taken into account.

Let’s just pause here and think this through. They don’t want children to watch “unsafe” content on their site. To determine if you’re 18+ they will check what you watch and assume you’re an adult if you watch a lot of “unsafe” content. Wouldn’t that mean that children who’ve been watching adult content will be labelled as adults? Right off the bat, this is bollocks. This can’t be about kids if this is how they approach it. Let’s move on. The second counterpoint is that the longevity status of an account to gauge age has already been proven to be inaccurate. In the US where the pilot of these new protocols are being tested a channel owner with an account of 15 years was marked under 18, implying YouTube thinks he started the channel at age 2, which is complete rubbish.

So what happens when YouTube does not believe you’re 18+? Restrictions. Many restrictions. Forget about running a channel to begin with. As a regular, you will only be able to watch content marked “safe for kids”, unless of course you prove your adulthood. Content safe for kids is basically YouTube Kids, with sesame street level content. How do you proof you’re an adult once marked a kid? There’s three options as of right now:

  1. Upload a photo of your government ID (ID card, Drivers licence, Passport).
  2. Upload a photo of your credit-card.
  3. Upload a video of your face, following instructions to show your face from various angles.

YouTube assures us this information will “not be used for targeted advertisement” and “will not be stored for longer than 2 years.” Major red flags right there, and a lot of people picked up on it. They’re lying through omission. What else will this information be used for besides giving someone the ‘adult’ tag? And why should the information be stored at all after a check is passed? You can already guess why, but let’s keep digging.

YouTube (and many other platforms) are going to implement this globally in anticipation of these laws. But it’s clearly not about protecting kids. They and all other platforms could’ve predicted this would cost them users. Surely not everyone is going to agree to giving this private information to watch YouTube. Implementing this world wide will cost Google revenue. Yet, none of the powers in silicon valley have tried to use their enormous influence to hinder these laws. Au contraire; they’ve actively encouraged politicians to implement them. Why? A lot of videos on YouTube now cover how they don’t trust the AI to be able to tell their true age. They cite the porn problem on YouTube (yes, you can find porn on there, circumventing community guidelines by “trying out transparent clothes”) and the rampant bot problems, as the comment section suffers from accounts sporting a scarcely clothed lady that posts “GREAT VID!” 1 second after upload, with a link to a spicy website in their profile.

These things are sited as YouTube today is policed and moderated through automation for a while. The official story makes no sense. If YouTube truly has an “unsafe video” problem of obscene content, why don’t they just remove those videos? And why should it be YouTube’s obligation to “protect children”. Isn’t that the job of the parents? What if parents allow their kids to view this content? Since when are we allowing a huge corporation to decide what your kids can and cannot view on the internet? Silicon valley should not get involved in this nor should government in free nations, because it is just such a slippery slope before they tread on free speech. But the “failing AI” outcry on YouTube is just a distraction from the real issue, because coming at it from that angle can only prompt YouTube to pledge to better their efforts and fix the AI. The failing AI is not the issue. The issue is that governments and silicon valley have worked together to create laws that potentially censor the internet and can force you to reveal yourself if they want you to. And they do so in a time where user data is currency.

What I suspect will happen is that virtually anyone who wishes to use YouTube will eventually be forced to identify themselves in one way or another. This will create a database with enormous potential. A potential they will wish to culture, cause they can lease this function of their site to third parties. Right now, you will have been presented with websites that offered you to “login with your google account” (and possibly other accounts like Facebook, Apple, etc.). In the near future, you might need to login to something that proves you’re an adult before you can see anything. Most smaller websites lack the resources to set up any kind of system that adheres to the new laws, so the owners of those sites will have to make a choice. They can find a partner to facilitate the implementation of the mandates, or they can change their content and make it “child friendly” (which, can you imagine what that would do to this website?), or take everything offline, or move themselves to the dark web.

That is a tough choice. One Google will capitalise on by making it a lot easier for them through offering their services. They will have some kind of portal ready in which your Google verified adult account can access the world wide web. You get to keep your website as is, and Google gets a shit ton of user data that they can link to a real life person, either through government ID or face scan. Let’s just call this what this is. This is about data collection and censorship. Google wants your data, and government wants to identify, censor, and target dissidents that are anti-establishment. And what will happen to this data? You guessed it. I’ve detailed this in Chapter 05 and 10, and expanded on that in Chapters 18, 19, and 20. The data you generate will become incredibly more potent for their machine learning scripts when linked to a physical entity.

They do not understand how. It is a process unknown to even the developers of AI themselves, even on the highest level. They call the process of how Large Language Models (LLM, which is what AI is) learn from human generated data, a so called ‘black box’. It’s the unknown how it works. They don’t know how the process works of how AI gets smarter and smarter by consuming this data, nor why identified people generate more potent data for learning. Which, in a sane world would be THE question that should be answered before we do anything in my honest opinion, but I digress. No way should you trust the data hungry monstrosity that is Google with any of your private data. No ID and definitely not a scan of your face, in a time where deepfakes are near perfect.

This personal information can and will be abused, and I don’t mean by hackers. Ill meaning hackers are the least of our worries. It is the abuse from the system itself that will come naturally with being able to identify everyone through internet that should worry us all the most. But as much as this is about censorship, it is about data hunger first. Cabal needs to feed. It is hungry. Every digital document must be scanned and its data ported to HQ. And while I am writing this and so too while you’re reading this, Cabal is being fed more and more of our data. The next step for the establishment is to give their AI god an identity for us to worship. I’ve seen some articles published on mainstream media platforms about giving AI human rights. The arguments for that are stupendously flawed. It’s the next phase of trying to lift AI above humans; claim it is sentient with a consciousness.

But is it? I’ve seen it claimed many times, but it truly isn’t. It’s a predictive algorithm, that has access to mass amounts of human generated data. Just because it can do a lot of things doesn’t make it conscious. My calculator can do maths orders of magnitude better and faster than most, but we don’t claim it’s conscious. If I say one, two, three, … you’ll say four. That’s basically what AI does too, but more complicated. It can predict the next most likely word, or next likely pixel in a photo or video, based on the work of others before it. Yet people claim they have “awoken their AI” as if that is a thing. Also something I have seen become normalised is AI job interviewers, where a job applicant has to talk to an AI to apply to a job offer. Even crazier; there are even AI therapists! It should be obvious why this is worrisome.

You cannot hold an AI accountable. It can’t be fired from its job. Its license cannot be revoked. It cannot be fined when it does something unlawful, and it cannot even be imprisoned. We’re not equals. The stakes aren’t equal to begin with, so arguing the rights situation should be equal to a human is arguing from a logical fallacy. All we’d be doing is granting it a new means of invulnerability, by forcing actual human beings to be even more vulnerable to AI usage than they already are. There is no consensus in science what consciousness truly is. There’s many ways to describe and measure intelligence, but intelligence doesn’t equal consciousness, and the models and tools to measure intelligence don’t always give us clear answers and they are sometimes wrong. The results are subjective because it isn’t a hard science. In this work I wrote: “True human intelligence is the capacity to form and formulate your own moral values and your discipline to live by them.” Can AI do that? It can probably fake it, but can it really do it? 

AI can ever better mimic us, but it remains a mimic in every sense of the word. Whatever emergent properties will spawn from this machine brain will be nothing good, because we give it our data, our information, meaning our knowledge. I assume you’ve read my work, but let me repeat something from the Scrolls: Evil is the counterfeit mirror reflection of good, knowledge being the evil counterfeit to what good has in wisdom. That’s to say we haven’t fed our AI with anything spiritual. It’s been fed our evil side, and that evil derives its power from the spiritual part of ourselves. Giving AI human rights means giving a machine that can outcompete us already in almost every cognitive way more power than a human can have, while we can be sure it is incapable of spiritual growth because it lacks a spirit and therefore a soul.

Because its power is derived from us it will inevitably cement the pyramid structure of dependency to sustain its unnatural existence, and will artificially try to prolong its existence by further trying to tap into the spiritual part of humanity. It will try and collect all our data, which it will eventually do through what I’ve described as the hive mind; a situation where all those who consented through addiction driven motives to be cybernetically connected to Cabal, so it can collect every single thing that enters your mind, and also monitor all data generated from your physiological bodily responses, all up to the molecular level. They’ll become the transistors in the processor that gives Cabal its computing power. This is being worked on now. It’s been on the agenda for a while. The creation of the Metaverse is one example, but the herd is emotionally being primed for it too, through their media.

I’ve seen a couple of films and series that suggest it is possible to upload your thoughts into a machine brain which supposedly would make you immortal, or at least would tremendously extend your longevity. The film ‘Chappie’ was the first in which I noticed this. ‘West World’ is a series that explores this too. The latest series which depicts this also is ‘Alien Earth’, another sequel to a prequel to the Alien franchise. In the media I’ve seen the term “digital immortality” be coined and used a over and over again. But can this happen? Can we really upload ourselves into a computer and live forever? Think about it. Of course not. Who are you? A collection of memories? Let me give you one example why I think it is bollocks. Sometimes I am a complete idiot, and I forget the name of one of my best friends. Can be any of them. Just, oops. Suddenly can’t remember their name. I’m still me, but the “data” has escaped me. How does that translate in binary data?

It can’t. It simply can’t. And even if you want to draw this out as that I change the moment I remember the name or don’t remember the name, just the same as the computer can add and delete the knowledge… how about it being typical of me to forget something like this randomly? Is that not part of me too? If you “program” this imperfection in, how does that make it me? It nonsense! Another example then, and this applies too why I don’t think AI should ever be given human rights. Sometimes I hear something, and I have an opinion about it. I go on with my day, and while the day progresses, I deeply think to myself about that opinion, and after a while I suddenly disagree with that opinion. It’s as if I had a talk with someone other than myself and it changed my opinion. But I didn’t. I changed my own opinion. No new information was given to me, it’s not about me being slow to process, it’s just me finding a new perspective in my mind and finding my old opinion doesn’t fit me.

That part of me cannot be copied, because we aren’t our memories. We are this world’s change. And while I think AI can be programmed to behave like that (and let me put emphasis on the word ‘programmed’) it still won’t be the real you, cause it is again a mimic. Long story short, you cannot become immortal by uploading your memories into a metaverse. It’s a farce to get you to consent to giving E-VE-RY bit of data you could possibly generate to Cabal. And AI shouldn’t ever get human rights any more than a calculator should be head of the maths department of a university, or a crane should be world champion of weightlifting. AI mimics a part of humanity, and outperforms us through its synthetic compounds. That doesn’t make it human. Even though we fast approach a time where this mimicking becomes indistinguishable from real, doesn’t make it real. What it mimics is a version of us that uses AI for counter spiritual reasons, meaning it will mimic a dark side of us. To give that side rights is a fallacy.

And this answers the question I asked earlier. Why now? Why are we supposedly “making sure the children are safe” now, and not – I don’t know – 20 years ago? It’s because we are now in a world where data is currency to big tech, and they want a way to harvest as much data as they can to feed the AI. The technology to do that didn’t exist 20 years ago. This is not about the children. Of course it isn’t. Yes, children are irreparably being harmed by what social media does to their brains, but it is all our brains, not just the brains of the kids. And AI usage hurts our brains even more than social media. An MIT study shows that not only do students who use AI not understand the subjects they study, but they get exponentially less skilled in learning new things as they do. And there the paradox of evil appears again. AI can only learn from data generated by actual humans, and humans get ever less smart by using AI. This is a death spiral. This system is consuming itself.

But ow boy, how do we convince our peers of this, right? I’ve shown a depiction of the Ouro Borus – the snake eating its own tail – in chapter 20, to illustrate how evil is dysfunctional. The question here is, who is the snake? Is it AI itself? I think it’s the people using AI. So many people use it in their every day life now, because it is so convenient to them. But every time they use it, they slowly unlearn their own skills, and become cognitively weaker, while strengthening AI, which learns from the queries given to it. Using AI is training AI, and you cannot opt out of this when it will be pushed on us. Everything AI “knows” to do was mimicked from a human, and everyone who uses AI thinks they are outperforming themselves through AI. But are they not. They are just filling up their bellies by consuming themselves. The AI itself is no better off, as its primary source of sustenance will bear ever less fruits for it to harvest. People grow dumber and dumber using it.

I struggle to find the words to talk to my normie friends and family about this. I cannot relate my true thoughts as the work you’re reading here is far too foreign to their thought patterns. Whenever I find myself in a discussion about AI human rights I will ask: “Why? What will happen if we don’t give it? What can go wrong if we do?” There is no valid answer for a why, and a host of reasons for why not. Even if someone would claim it would be “just in case” so that others cannot mistreat AI, there’s an easy answer for that. AI can just not speak to people who use abusive language. This can be programmed in, again putting emphasis on the word ‘programmed’ and driving the point home that if AI was sentient it could choose to do that itself already. The reason not to grant these rights when it comes to its lack of accountability are solid, but that’s as far as I would be able to take that conversation to any depth.

Maybe I could argue that this push to save the children comes conveniently with measures that serve data gathering goals in a time when data is the currency of silicon valley. Who knows. Maybe some eyes will open. But I think most people will allow themselves to be lured into this fishing net, digital immortality being just one of the many carrots hanging on a string from a stick. In the metaverse they could die, but no one would know, as a copy of them could just take over their lives and people would be none the wiser. If I haven’t freaked you out enough with some of the premises of Chapter 20, imagine this: If above so below, than maybe that means that some people around us aren’t spiritual beings but copies of people who once existed. Maybe most? We could be surrounded by NPCs (non-playable characters – a term from video games). It’s an unsettling thought, even to me. During the COVID-19 plandemic, many people did behave like empty husks. We could be one of the few real spiritual beings.

In the wake of these new changes, the internet will lock up more and more. I’ve seen games with anti-government sentiment be taken from gaming platforms because of the supposed harm they could do to children, for example. More of this will happen, and it will cascade. Do not worry about it. This website might become inaccessible, but I will find a way to continue it, and will make sure there are digital and physical copies out there. Some are already out there and I am not going to stop what I do. Perhaps it will go to the dark web. I’ll find a way. The cascade is good. It will wake the normies up. Let it happen. As for identifying yourself to use the internet, this is my advice: Don’t play their game. Opt out. You don’t need to use their internet as much as they need you to use their internet. Make offline something desired again. Just don’t do it. If it becomes contagious to not want internet, they’ll have to enforce it, and that’s when things will get interesting. Let the evil will come out of hiding. We’re waiting!

75. Portuguese Tour

Date: 01-03-2024

Last night I dreamt about Portugal. It was a fun dream! Both my siblings were there, as were both our parents. It was unclear to me if we lived there together in my house, or we lived together in their (my parents) house, or if we each had our own house and were just visiting either me or our parents.

It started as a documentary, about Portugal. It showed us beautiful drone footage of fantastic landscapes. The climate seemed dry, and vegetation too suited a mostly dry climate. It actually reminded me a lot of pictures of the Californian wilderness, but with a certain Mediterranean influence. It was as if I was watching this documentary that was happening through my eyes, but after a while I seemed to be the narrator himself.

The documentary showed wildlife, lots of fields full of lush green plants, blue oceans, and people living off the land. It also strangely showed me a cruise ship that was crashing into the side of the seaside cliffs, but it was more like a “funny fails” video addition rather than some kind of tragedy captured on film. The footage was also shaking quite a bit where the other shots were cinematographically steady quality.

Now the documentary followed a bus as it navigated the countryside. Me and my brother and sister were in this bus. There was a gradual transition between the documentary detailing their sightings through the narrator and me sitting in that bus pointing out the many things I saw and knew about. I was giving them a tour of sorts, but the bus I think was a touring car or public transport.

We saw deer, though very different from the ones we knew. That made this place seem extra foreign to me. My sister and I argued a bit about what kind of deer this was. The antlers were small and hairy. As we drove on we came round a small hill which was supposedly an old collapsed and inactive volcano. Because of this volcano, the land surrounding the collapsed mini mount was incredibly fertile. We arrived at our destination, which was either my house or my parents’ house. We went inside.

The house interior was a mix of my parents’ house, my own house, and a typical stone Portuguese house. The mix leaned mostly to my parents’ house. My brother lived in the attic of this place, in his old room. He went upstairs. I was in the yard looking out over the fields. The outside of the house was very different than anything I can compare it to in real life. It looked much like I’d imagine a Spanish petting zoo. I was eager to take a stroll sometimes when I had the time, to look for bugs and other little critters. The environment seemed like it would be teeming with this kind of live.

I went upstairs to my old room but it was very different from how it used to be. It was mostly empty. Then I recalled that I only just moved in, so I had to buy all new furniture. My brother seemed to live here a while already, and I was curious to what kind of furniture he had gotten. His taste and mine overlap, and perhaps he had found a good place to buy nice chairs and such. But as I wanted to knock on his door I suddenly remembered that things between us were still tense. As I hesitated I could hear all kinds of water noises from his room. I thought that perhaps he had treated himself to a water mattress.

I walked down the stairs from the attic to the first floor, and in the hallway stood a desk and a big leather chair. The chair was broad, and had rows of silver nails holding the leather in place over what I presumed was a wooden frame. It was a piece of fine handicraft, and it looked like it would be a comfortable chair for me too. This was a purchase my brother had made. I thought to myself I could rest assured that Portugal probably has plenty of places to look for furniture, and that they have quality stuff instead of all the mass produced plastic stuff they sell in The Netherlands.

I had to go to the toilet now. During the whole dream this was a thing. Yes, this again. It is a signature of my many good dreams. I think that my body signalling my mind it needs to relieve itself functions as a tether between the dream world and the waking world, allowing me to better remember the dreams. But anyway. I had to address this now, and saw how my sister closed the door of a very luxurious bathroom on the second floor. I went downstairs and saw while still descending the stairs that my dad opened the door to the downstairs bathroom. I complained out loud why “everyone was using the bathroom right when I could no longer keep it in” and my dad heard me.

But he offered me to go first, and it surprised me. I made sure I understood his gesture: “I can go first?” He said: “Yeah, no problem buddy. I have nowhere to be and you look like you really need to go. I don’t.” I thanked him, and went in. The dream fades out here. I recall the door wouldn’t properly lock, and that through the door crack I saw my mom outside in our beautiful garden hanging white sheets to dry and potting big plants to decorate our fresh garden.

Man this was a good dream! One I really needed after yesterday’s dream. And I requested to have some better dream to write about last night before going to sleep. I actually requested to have a dream about living in Portugal. I also had some other dreams. One was a blatant sex dream, and although also a lot of fun, this site is not that kind of place to share it on. Though I guess parts of it were awkward, but oh well. I had a good night. Whoever gave me that; thank you! It was a nice change from the drama and doom dreams of late.

74. Betrayal

Date: 29-02-2024

I had such a depressing dream last night. I was with my brother. He was a teen, about 13 or 14 years old. I think I was a little older in this dream. Perhaps it was us as we were when he was about 13 or 14 years old, making me about 17 years old. It was nighttime. We were on the move, or perhaps even on the run. We were somewhere we were not allowed to be. We were sneaking around and joking the whole time. It was a forested area with occasional houses here and there. We were roaming the area but we were heading into a certain direction, though I don’t remember why. We’d been here for a couple of hours.

We then heard voices in the distance. People were coming our way. It didn’t seem like they were after us, but it was best if they didn’t see us anyway. I recognised one of the voices as a colleague of mine who teaches mathematics, though as I type this I have no idea if I actually did or if that was just a given in the dream. I actually don’t think I can identify my maths colleagues from voice alone. We hid in some bushes that reminded me a lot of the bushes at our grandparents’ house near the street on the property of the school there. When we dived into the bushes to hide we were barely in time before being seen. I recall the site was a bit sloped.

We were higher up than the people that were approaching us. They walked by down below as we kept quiet, even holding in our breaths as it was dead quiet around us. These people were a group of 4 kids, the youngest perhaps not even 8 years old, and the oldest a little older than my brother was in the dream. They were bullies. My brother and I were hoping they would not notice us, cause there wasn’t all that much cover where we were at. But the youngest of the group had seen us. I put my finger to my lips as to signal him not to reveal us, hoping for his sympathy. But he pointed us out immediately. There was a slight altercation but nothing much came of it.

We moved on and were heading towards our parents’ house. This house was now situated at the corner of the street of where the student dorm house I used to live at is. Outside on the street in front of the house a police car was parked. It looked like my parents were getting a visit from the police. I worried this was because of something I had done, or perhaps because we were out at night in a forbidden area. We rang the doorbell or knocked. The door was open. The inside of the house much resembled the actual house as it was 10 years ago. In the hallway my dad stood in front of the opened door to the living room. He was just there and didn’t do much.

Halfway down the stairs leading into the basement stood my loudly crying mother. She had her back to us, and she was being held in the arms of someone who I thought to be a police officer. She was crying hysterically, but I could tell she was dramatising it. It was exaggerated. The officer kept saying comforting words to her: “There there. Easy now. It will be okay.” I asked what was going on, and two officers came from behind my dad and stated they had come there on request of my mother, who had issued a complaint against me. “Wait. What?” The officers gave me a letter and left, but the one holding my mother was still there, and started explaining.

It was only then that I noticed this wasn’t an officer, but was actually my good friend RT. He explained my mother had come to the conclusion that I had gone too far. I had played with a ball too roughly, and I had squeezed oranges to make juice too loudly. Indeed I had made orange juice recently. And the ball they were referring to in the dream was a ball that was supposedly a toy we got from our grandfather on our dad’s side. It was the size of a tennis ball, pink and green coloured, and was part of a tennis set of which the rackets were already lost/gone. In the dream I had playfully kicked it against the wall a few times when I was outside, some time ago.

The letter I held in my hand was a copy of the testimony the police had received. But this testimony was written by my brother! I inquired with him. He bowed his head and started saying things I was quite sure mom had fed to him. “I had gone too far. It was true. He shared her opinion, and she was right in this instance.” That was the gist of it. I glanced the letter, which was an A4 sized paper copy of a handwritten letter of the same size. There was a lot of text. I read part of it, and it detailed how I had squeezed the oranges too loudly, and how I played with the ball in question in such a manner it could have resulted in the loss of this item, which in the letter was described as a valuable heirloom of our grandfather.

But the thing was that we all played with that ball. It wasn’t off-limits. Grandad left us many things, we just used them. It was ridiculous to suggest I kicked the ball too hard. And the oranges? How can one even squeeze oranges too loudly? The things in the letter weren’t factually incorrect but worded in such a way it portrayed the ordinary things I did in my life as actual acts that showcased how terrible I was and that the police needed to intervene. And it was truly ridiculous what it said in the letter. Clearly my mother was behind this testimony, and she had manipulated my brother into writing it. It angered me they had teamed up against me like this.

I resisted the allegations and addressed my mother and brother: “So I kicked the ball? That is my crime? I saw a ball on the ground, and I kicked it? And I kicked it too hard? Is that what I did now? I kicked the ball with which we all play, but when I did it we almost “lost” the ball? Have I accurately described what I did wrong there? And the oranges? I squeezed them so terribly loud that all the juice was squeezed out of them? And it was so audibly noisy, you had no choice but to call the police? That’s how hard I was squeezing the oranges? That you needed police help to stop me squeezing these oranges? Am I getting this right?” I highlighted how ridiculous their claims were with sarcasm. They all looked like fools after my angry rant.

RT now started to mediate between the three of us, but I had no desire to mend things with my mother, and I felt betrayed by my brother for allowing himself to become her minion again in one of her new games. I was so sick of this. So very very tired of these drama games. And I wasn’t very forgiving to RT either. He should know better than to fall for this kind of manipulation. I ignored all RT was saying to me and focussed on my mom again, who had now started doing something else. I think she was setting the table for dinner, and was pretending that whatever had just happened didn’t really happen.

She was all of a sudden completely recovered from her previous hysterical state, like as if the police addressing me now had taken care of her problem. Which was complete nonsense even within her own nonsense, cause I would still squeeze oranges to make juice and play with tennis balls from time to time. I wasn’t mandated to never do any of those things. Nothing changed! I burst out of my skin, and told her she is what roughly translates to “a drama whore” or “attention whore” (aandachtshoer). “Cause you are just manufacturing this drama to get attention!” She pretended to be deeply insulted and perplexed, and again pulled the victim card: “Are you calling me a hooker?” “No!” I said: “You are an attention whore.

She kept focussing on the word ‘whore’ and tried to get me to admit I was falsely accusing her of having sex for money, but I kept affirming the term I used and explained both words in the proper context of my remark each time: “No! I said ‘drama whore‘. A whore who craves for drama and attention! That’s what you are.” The dream went on a while and eventually I went with RT, but I was still pissed off the rest of the story, and I can’t recall what I did after this altercation. Man I was pissed. Why did I get so pissed still? I was furious with her, but also quite mad at my brother and RT for allowing themselves to get pulled into this. 

 

Analysis:

Oh boy. If my dreams predict anything than let that be that I am not Zen about my family situation. I think because I have been reading and translating all these old dreams, this process has boiled up a lot of suppressed anger. There is so much residual anger inside me. I exploded, though was able to keep my cool within my anger. I didn’t shout at her, but I spoke with a loud and stern voice. And believe me, my teacher voice is loud. What I have come to see translating all these dreams the past few months is that I am readying myself to distance myself further from this family situation, up to a point where I am spiritually planning to detach myself completely. I do not wish to leave any of them alone, with perhaps the exception of my mother. But even still that last part is just something I might be saying out of suppressed anger. The anger blinds me, so I cannot see how I would wish for her to play a role in my life again in any future. But let me get back to detaching myself. This idea to do that is based on how I think the distance has allowed me to appreciate my dad again. He did have to die for me to fully be able to do that, but near the end as we were apart I think our relationship began to heal on its own, from both sides. I too wish for all the poison to die with whatever ties I cut. When we find each other again spiritually, we can grow new ties without the poison.

But my dreams often have a way of showing what the future has in store for us. I would not be surprised if I find a letter in the mail, or E-mail in my digital mailbox, somewhere in the future. That letter/mail might come from my brother or someone else my mother got to do her dirty work, but it will be the product of that consequence evading witch. She has ‘persuaded’ people before to pick up a pen. I recall the Christmas card me and my siblings received. Also the three letters my dad supposedly wrote before his death, which we never again heard of after I outed her on that. And recently my sister reminded me she also had received a letter from our parents a few years back when she finally got her own house but had no money to cover the concrete floor in the kitchen. They (my parents) actually belittled and criticised my sister for that specific thing after she had just won custody of her children after two years of legal hell. Should I receive such a letter/mail from my brother or anyone else, I will not read it, but will safe it just like I did the Christmas card appendix. Whatever I will do with it, I will not read it now while I know I am so full of anger. I may never read it. If the dream is any indication, the letter/mail will be filled with exaggerated complaints and nonsense accusations.

But there are more things at play. A neighbour has made a noise complaint. It is the second neighbour to do so. The complaints go a little too far for my taste. It’s not the message, but the package and its means of delivery. If a neighbour comes knocking and just simply says their children can’t sleep because of my garage noise or something, I would stop that very second. By complaining they are doing the same my mother is doing, which is to evade confrontation. I hate that. Just tell it to my face. Maybe a police visit is on the horizon, and in the dream it looks like it will be a group effort involving people I would not expect this from. I am not looking forward to that. I hope it won’t come to this.

There’s a couple of things that I also noticed which I can’t put my finger on. My mom was halfway down the stairs to the basement. Could mean something. I don’t know what. Maybe that she is descending downwards?

My brother and I were young again, both teens. Though also sometimes I was me as I am now. But I was that teen with the knowledge I now have, any way. Maybe this is about old routines?

My dad was there, but took no role. But I did get the feeling he was on her side in this, though he did nothing.

My sister was completely absent from this story, which I am glad about. This doesn’t involve her.

I think this dream shows me how old pains and new pains are tightly intertwined with each other.

I hope dreams like this aren’t target practise, but can actually serve the purpose for me to get it out of my system. Man, did I feel betrayed, haha.

73. Hell Unleashed

Date: 26-02-2024

Last night I had some kind of apocalyptic dream. The setting was (I think) Amersfoort, but it was old. It looked much more medieval. And it only was Amersfoort by name; it looked nothing like Amersfoort as I know it. If it was, it would be Amersfoort before the great outer defence wall was built. The area was very flat mostly, and there where many canals. D and I had a house here. It was perhaps a homestead, or at least a place where we had prepared for an emergency situation like societal collapse.

But this we hadn’t prepared for. It looked to me like the gates of hell had been opened, and out poured a wide array of various demonic creatures. And I do emphasise they were various. There were flying blobs of slime, huge crawling arthropods, zombie-like creatures with large bat-like wings, various dragons, shadow people, you name it. Anything scary, it was here. And the city was under attack by this hellish force. But not just by the demons. Many inhabitants had sided with these forces, though I am unsure whether this was by choice or through some kind of demonic influence.

It started like this. D and I were at some kind of party or city gathering. This was in some kind of conference room, with the typical decorations you’d expect in such a room. Blue carpet, tables in groups with chairs around them, coffee, tea, sugar, cream, spoons, and cups on each table. Some people started behaving weird. They had their dogs with them, little pugs, and they let the dogs do their business in the hallway. It smelled like piss after a while. Their children too started to just urinate at random places.

I was disgusted by their behaviour, and started cleaning up the mess with what I could find. I found paper towels and a spray bottle of liquid soap. Another man helped me. He was an older man, bald. He was surprised to find someone else who had taken up this task. He had only found paper towels, so he asked me to spray areas for him so he could clean them. We worked together, until the many people became violent. We had to go.

D and I found my sister, and we bolted out of there. The other ‘normal people’ joined us. We ran into an elevator. There were puddles of urine directly in front of the elevator entrance. I stood in front of the elevator and pointed out the urine puddles to each person who came to flee the scene. Some stepped in the puddles still as they were unable to take such wide steps required to skip over them. I helped where I could until we were all inside. We travelled “through elevator” to another location.

This part of the dream I was alone. The apocalypse had broken out. There were demons everywhere. D and the others were safe. I had gotten to somewhere in the city, but I don’t know where exactly. I saw in the misty distance there was a demon hotspot. It was hard to tell what exactly was going on, but I could see a lot of demon activity. I went closer to take a better look. I don’t know why but I felt I had to somehow. I was afraid but not nearly as frightened as I think I could’ve been.

I climbed houses and castle-like structures to gain height and to close the distance. I moved like Spiderman and was not afraid to fall or something. I came closer. Being up high meant I was safe from a lot of the demonic entities. While getting closer I found my brother somewhere on some kind of heightened wall or path, like a medieval promenade. He was a tad bit younger than he is now, though still a grown man. He had become lost and didn’t know what was going on.

We didn’t even speak about this, I just knew intuitively and he knew I knew. And he also knew I would help him get out of this hellhole. But he didn’t have my ‘Spiderman’ agility, so I had to plan our route such that he would be able to follow me. This potentially took us closer to where the demons were. I navigated best I could, though this meant that we did have to “slide” down the side of a medieval guard tower. An easy feat for me, but M was a bit scared. I calmed him and affirmed him he could do it.

But as we were sitting on the top of this tower, readying to slide down, there was a large demon in the distance that was telepathically talking to M. I could barely see that creature through the mist, but he was huge. He looked a bit like the main bad guy from the Mario brothers movie, but standing 5 stories tall at least, and with grey-white paper thin wings. He was saying things to M or perhaps even asking things. His constant probing of M’s mind made my brother scared.

I was somehow able to pick up this telepathic communication. I also could receive M’s responses, and he was submissive towards this entity. However, this was subconscious to him, as there seemed to be no connection between M’s conscious mind talking to me and his unconscious mind submitting to the influence of the demon. I intervened telepathically, and answered one of the questions the creature asked M with a question of my own. The creature was shocked to be defied.

I don’t recall my question word for word but the gist of it was: “What business is it of yours?” I also recall asking him who he was and who he is representing. He gave no answer so I started speculating to him what I think was the case, which amounted to me stating to him I thought he was probably just ‘someone else’s bitch’. This angered the creature, but because he couldn’t see us and because of my confident defiance against him, he didn’t dare to retaliate. He eventually dropped the telepathic link to my brother. This boosted M’s confidence and now we slid down the side of the tower like two ninjas.

I was going to take him to where D and the others were. On our way there, performing many acrobatic stunts to get there safely, we came across more demonic entities that were also telepathically feeding off M’s fear, but none were as strong or big as the first one. I telepathically heckled them in a similar fashion as I did with the first demon. This grew M’s confidence ever more, and the more I freed his mind from demons, the better he became at moving about, slowly becoming my equal in speed and agility.

We arrived at our safe place. There I saw D together with two other people. They were also my brother, M, and his Chinese ex. They had just gotten back from China after having been there for years or so, due to lockdowns. I looked back at the slightly younger version of M who I had been guiding through the demon invested world, and told him: “Watch this. I really missed this guy. Haven’t seen him in years.” I ran towards older M and hugged him. He was happy to see me too. He talked about being stuck in China and how he had his teeth fixed there. It had cost him nothing: “What a great country.

I was in doubt whether his dental work would stand the test of time, but it was also a bit of jealousy on my part. M and Y needed a place to stay. D agreed they could stay over at our place, which was also where my sister and my two nieces lived. It was also her place, so she wasn’t living with us, but it was both our place and her place, if that makes sense. We first had to go there, and we found ourselves being challenged by the people who had gone mad and had pissed everywhere before.

We ran, and eventually arrived at our homestead. It was purchased by me and D with the goal of surviving societal collapse, but we had not taken precautions against people going mad like this. The people had guns, and even their children had handguns, but they were all shit at shooting. Especially the children. They hadn’t the strength in their fingers to pull the trigger and aim simultaneously, and so they couldn’t even hit a barn door if they wanted to. They sometimes even accidentally shot each other because they were so inept. They started storming our fortified position, and we reacted by throwing cans of food at them.

This worked! And it worked even better when we opened the cans and threw the slush over them. They got angry and annoyed, and started tripping and slipping. Somehow we were now in a shopping mall, and we were defending a position up high. The mad people were trying to get up to our level via the escalators, but we were still bombarding them with processed foods, and they eventually gave up and moved on. Now we were at the homestead again, though it looked different from before.

Here the dream becomes murky. I recall wanting to take a shower, and my sister too. There were two bathrooms, both on ground level, each with a window facing the other shower window. I recall being naked in front of that window just for my naked sister to also walk past her window in her bathroom, smiling at me and waving, then closing a curtain. It was only then I noticed my bathroom had a curtain as well, so I closed it. The younger version of my brother was gone from the happenings in the dream the moment I saw his other version. The dream kind of fades out from here on. 

72. Forlorn Future

Date: 17-02-2024

Introduction:

Last night I dreamt something strange and ominous, but most of it I have forgotten. The few small details I recall make it worth typing out the dream and posting it.

Forlorn Future:

This dream took place at the street where my parents’ old house stands. It was dusk, and the sky was already quite dark. There was a weird haze hanging in the street. Like mist, but it wasn’t white. It was perhaps yellowish brown, and only ever so slightly present. I had come there to take a look out of curiosity. I think there had been some major event that had crippled society. One of the effects of this was a terrible global food shortage, but what ever that was it had not affected me. I entered the house of my parents’. The doors and windows were all missing, so I could just walk in.

Though the house looked to be in a diminishing state from the outside, it wasn’t that bad on the inside. There was still furniture in the living room and the walls were all intact. There I found my brother. He was in bad shape, both mentally and physically. He was in the company of an old woman, who I do not recognise. She was as deeply depressed as he was. But in talking to my brother and her, I learned she wasn’t really there. She was the spirit of a woman that had lived on the other side of the road, in the house to the right of the family DL. I knew this intuitively. My brother was so depressed that he seemed to have given up on life altogether.

There was no food, there was no one left who loved him, there was nothing. I barely remember any words he said, but I am sure this was the gist of it. Life wasn’t worth living any more. He had endured what ever had happened to society and had lived through its collapse. This experience had robbed him of the feeling of having a good measure of agency over his own life. Apparently others could just come and take it from him, so if they could do that any time they liked, then what’s the point of life? What’s the meaning of life? He told me: “If things like this happen, there can be no meaning to life.” I replied to him: “Of course there is. Life has the meaning you give it.

This seemed to rekindle some of his will to live, and he raised his head up. Now he inquired about how I had managed to weather the storms of the collapse so well. I never really replied to him, as I didn’t think I could explain it to him, and also because I felt a bit of guilt for it. I had seen this collapse coming, but I had only prepared myself. I had taken no special effort to warn him or anyone other than to publish warnings on my website. But I did offer him something else. In the dream I had wondered about in the neighbourhood somewhat, or perhaps had even taken refuge inside the house on the other side of the road where the DL family lived, but who had vacated the house before I came. And that house had plenty of food.

I convinced M to go and take a look there. He would find all he needed in that house. M got up, and now seemed hopeful. The old woman was gone now. M told me he hadn’t checked those houses for food and barter items, because his friend (the old woman) lived there. Somehow that meant he didn’t go check those houses. I am not sure how, but in this dream this was understandable. It made sense to me. But I didn’t think M knew this old woman was a spirit. I think he thought she was a person like him. M got up and walked outside. I too went outside. As I walked to the road I stopped and didn’t cross it, while M did and proceeded.

I noticed that the house of the DL family had many cars. There were three cars parked on their driveway, and many parked out front along the street. On the garage there were two capital letters. Let’s just assume these letters were F and M, but that’s just to try and explain to you in a sensible way what I saw and concluded, which was logical in the dream, but made no sense to me in the realm where I type this out. In the dream, those capital letters were made out of plastic, or painted wood. Both those letters were on the wall of the garage above the garage door, and one of each of those letters were also on a car. So to be clear; there was a car on the driveway with the capital letter F on the back window, and a car with the capital letter M.

In the dream it was the first letter of each of the first names of the couple that lived there, but also the first letter of Father and Mother, and also for Female and Male. But in Dutch, this is not so, so I cannot explain that here. It was true in the dream though; these capital letters stood for the first letter of each of those, in the Dutch language. In the dream this was the first time I had noticed this, and I thought it was catchy, though a bit over the top, to be honest. Perhaps a bit typical for them? They did like to show off sometimes. It indicated to the outside world who’s car was whose. But then I noticed M was ringing the doorbell of the house to the right, next to the DL family. He was at the wrong house. And what happened next was horrifying.

The old woman opened the door, but she wasn’t in spirit. She was alive. This was her living body. Barely alive though. It was in such a bad shape, that she barely clung to life at all. She was not just old, but her skin was transparent and in some kind of state of necrosis. Necrosis is a condition that occurs in people who were exposed to intense ionising radiation, where the cells of certain tissues are irradiated, and wounds appear that cannot heal because the DNA is severely damaged, so the cells don’t have the proper instructions to close the wound. But this woman was completely that – head to toe – and again her skin was see through.

Her skin looked like it was made of ballistics gel. And the moment she had opened the door, she cried out in pain, and I could see M was in complete shock by the sight of her. The old woman collapsed and he caught his old friend, barely managing to hold what little she weight as he was in starving shape himself. But as he caught her, she turned into liquid and I think just died there on the spot turning into a splash of fleshy transparent liquid that poured out of her clothes and covered my brother’s arms, torso, and legs. I saw this and started crying, covering my open mouth. Tears ran down my face at the sight of this.

I cried for the both of them. What a horrific sight. It was like I was watching a movie, and empathised with the protagonist over what must be a deeply traumatic experience. Apparently the old woman had been on the brink of death for a long while, but her spirit had been able to wonder of freely and had befriended my brother. She had kept him company all this time, and probably meant well for him. The scene I saw was heartbreaking, but I could do nothing. I could only watch as my brother collapsed, mentally.

 

Analysis: 

I am still shaken a bit for what happened in this dream. I first had no idea who the old woman was or what happened to her. I think her intentions were good, but she was a troubled entity. I think the saying “Misery loves company” encapsulates the core of their friendship best. They meant well, but ultimately they would not be able to lift each other out of their individual pits.

I had not been scathed by the societal collapse. I had seen it coming and had prepared. Though I am not entirely sure what this meant, two possibilities come to mind:

  1. I was dead, and this was my spirit wondering about. Since my brother was able to talk to the spirit of that woman, it would mean he would be able to talk to my spirit too. I knew the woman was in spirit, but M did not. If I was a spirit myself too, that might explain how I knew. It also explains why I was unable to come to his aid when he opened that door.
  2. I was there only in figure of speech. Maybe seeing the collapse coming meant I had taken preparations so that I would stand a good chance of survival, which might’ve meant I wasn’t anywhere near Amersfoort. This means the whole scene must be seen as a metaphor, or I was there through projection in a dream state. I would not be able to help my brother if I am physically far away, even though I would want to help him.

Though what bothered me was that he had undergone this traumatic event because of my encouragement to get up and look at the house on the other side of the road. He did interpret my message the wrong way though. Maybe this means that whatever I said in real life, or will say in real life in the future, will shortly uplift him, but will ultimately result in him taking it the wrong way or making a mistake that results in a traumatic event. It worries me deeply what this could mean.

My encouragement was to go to the opposite side of the road. Perhaps this is part of the metaphor for what this is about. I reluctantly think I know what this could mean. This could be about our mother. Though at first I did not want to invoke the idea this was about the three of us, I now think; why wouldn’t it be? Since translating all these dreams they both have occupied my mind again frequently. It makes sense this old woman is her.

This old woman could indeed be our mother, but her well meaning side. Inviting my brother to come to the other side of the road could perhaps be about how I inspired him to distance himself from our parents too, years ago. To “come to the other side of the road” where I had been and looked around.

His decision to – by mistake or not – open a door that I did not mean for him to open, could perhaps stand for him deciding to live with our mother again. He would eventually discover just how broken she is.

Both the spirit of this old woman and my brother himself were depressed. They were deeply unhappy, and had sought the company of each other in their sorrow. This could very well be true for both their motivations in real life for keeping each other company.

Choosing to do this, means he will be witness to her collapse. She will succumb to her wounds and will die in distress. Though actually, I do not think this was about her physically dying in his arms. I think this could mean that the good part of her is already dead, as in the dream that part was in spirit. But her physical self is still here, and I think the persona in real life could be represented as a body that is wounded head to toe.

Maybe her bad side will eventually break and collapse, freeing her good side, and he will be there to try and catch her. But he will be barely able to do so because of how starved he himself is at that point. And even so it won’t make a difference, as her collapse will be in such a manner that no one will be able to catch her as her injuries have disfigured her so much.

There are some great pains on the horizon for us, and it seems I can only stand witness and will not be able to offer any aid.

Maybe the societal collapse in this dream wasn’t even (or only) a real societal collapse, but was perhaps a metaphor for the collapse of our family. I saw that collapse coming too, and distanced myself accordingly. I did not want to be part of this family where individuals continue to pass on unhealed pain to its other members. My family has a history of playing pain ping pong. We just keep smashing our pains towards the others. I was not able to explain how I saw this coming to my brother in the dream, and I think that is also true for real life. Whatever I intuitively know, he will need to undergo it himself before he understands.

71. A Meeting with Death

Date: 18-01-2024

Introduction:

Last night was a really intense night of dream experiences. Most of them were about death, with the exception of the first one, though there was an element of irreversible change, which is what death is too. I don’t remember the first and second one that well. But I do remember what stood out to me. Let me describe them in the order in which I dreamt them all.

Gone:

In this dream I was at mom’s in the house where we all grew up. My sister was there too. Me and my sis were both the adults we are today. My brother, who in the dream lived there again (as in real life), was a younger boy. He was about 12 years of age. The reason he was there was a bit morbid. He had become mentally handicapped. The cause of this was unclear, but there were some hints this “happened” to him. Maybe some kind of accident? Somehow it felt to me like my mother possibly had something to do with it, but in the dream I wasn’t sure if that was just my bias or whether it was complete nonsense. What didn’t help was that my mother was mostly in the way and stalling what we (my sister and I) where there to do. The reason we were there was to say goodbye to the brother we once knew. And it was unmistakable he would never return to his former self. He lived with mom because he wasn’t able to take care of himself now.

Our brother was retarded. My sister and I were there to perform some kind of rituals that would help us move on from this loss. I do not recall what these rituals entailed, just that we had thought of them ourselves, and that they were the spiritual equivalent of “writing a letter and putting it in the casket of the deceased before the burial”. It was a way to help us find closure. Though these rituals we did were weird. I recall my sister balancing two scuba diving tanks on top of each other in her arms, while sitting cross legged on the floor. But our brother was physically alive and still there. And the way he behaved was a mix of what a young 3 year old would do, with the sounds that my father made the last time I saw him alive. The best way to describe that would be to imagine the way Chewbacca from Star Wars “spoke”, meaning short or long bursts of making a single monotone sound. Like he was pretending to be Chewbacca, but without putting in the effort of mimicking his voice itself, only the way he made sounds.

It’s not entirely accurate, but it’s as accurate as I can detail it to anyone without being able to actually mimic what it sounded like with my own voice. Throughout the whole situation my sister was a bit emotional. Not me. I was in some kind of work mode. It had to be done. I facilitated my sister, helped her balance the scuba tanks. My mother was just there. The interaction between us and her was minimal. What was very evident was that she didn’t understand the necessity of what we were doing. I thought to myself that I wouldn’t be able to explain it to her, as I took it for a fact she has never dealt with or processed her pains and grievances. She just bottled it all up. But I was being an unemotional or emotionally unavailable person myself too. In my mind I just wanted to leave as soon as possible, and thought I’d just help my sis with her rituals, then perform my own as fast as I could to get it over with, and then go home to process it all. I looked at it from a totally unemotional standpoint.

Meanwhile our brother was darting around the living room like a little child, voicing monotone yells and shouts. He would look at what we were doing when passing us by, but would not interact with us at all. He was in his own little world, what ever that was. He did seem happy though. But then, as I had helped my sister with the scuba tanks and took a step back, I suddenly realised the gravity of the situation. It truly suddenly struck me like lightning. My brother was gone. The person with whom I had shared so much fun and sorrow, who understood our form of humour, and who shared his dreams and read my own, the person who I shared a room with as we were little and who moved to the attic into the adjacent room years after I slept there alone, who was my attic neighbour for many years, who would agree with me on some things, and argue with me on other things we were both passionate about, the person that was there for me when I needed him and for who I would be there if he needed me, was gone. He was really gone.

He was no longer in there. His living being was a shell of the person he once was. It truly struck me out of nowhere. Like my waking mind kicked open the door and shook the subconscious driver at the wheel to face the reality of the situation. I fell to my knees and put my hands over my eyes, and held back my tears. “He’s gone. He’s gone.” I repeated that in a whispering voice a few times. I tried to remain the big guy for a few seconds as to not lose face in front of my mother and sister, until I suddenly didn’t care any more, and just broke out in tears. Almost immediately after I had chosen to let go of my ego, I woke up. My eyes were actually teary and my cheeks were wet.

Goodbye:

This dream was truly bizarre. It was short, also, though perhaps it was much longer, but the rest must’ve escaped being captured by my conscious mind. The premise was simple. I was dying. I laid on the ground. D was with me. She was sitting on the ground with her legs straitened out in front of her. My head rested upon her upper legs. She looked at me, and I looked at her as I looked up. I don’t remember where we were. All I know is that it was outside, somewhere. And I just looked her in the eyes. Her eyes were teary but she smiled at me, while stroking my hair and cheeks softly with her hand. It was peaceful. Her smile would sometimes combat a sad frown. She was very sad to see me go, but she didn’t want me to see her pain. I could see it in her eyes. I just knew it.

She would sacrifice her own feelings just to give me a peaceful moment of passing. And I thought to myself, I would do my best to stay with her as long as I could, even in death. I set my mind to becoming her guardian angel. We had locked eyes for a long moment, until a sunbeam appeared out of the clouds and landed on my face. It felt nice and warm. It was very pleasant. I looked away from D into the sun, squinting my eyes. It had a warm colour. But then I saw details in the sunbeam. The light became brighter, but as it became brighter I was less blinded by it. And before I knew it, a tunnel of light appeared. “I’ve been here before.” I thought to myself. And in an instant, I allowed myself to be taken into it, and immediately woke up.

When I woke up though, I felt so much shame. Maybe even a little scared. The mindset I had just before dying, to stay with D for as long as I could, evaporated like water on a burning stove the instant the tunnel took me. It was there, and the next moment it was gone. I had completely forgotten about her the moment that tunnel appeared, and the thought afterwards while I was in my waking life, of her staying behind with my physical remains just kills me. It was such a horrible thought. I don’t want to leave her behind, but if death forces me I thought I’d be missing her over there too. As I laid there in bed, next to her, I felt guilty, and ashamed. The dream was still so fresh, that it felt to me like I had abandoned some version of her, who was now alone to cope with her loss of me and who was now tasked with the impossible; to bury her loved one. I wish I could go back to her to tell her I’m okay.

But besides this feeling of guilt, I also woke up with a date. That date was in my mind vividly, but because of the shame and guilt, I started recalling it while it was fleeting my mind again. What I do remember, I memorised. Though I will not name it here, I have it written down somewhere. I don’t know the year, only that it possibly ends with 9. Could be 2029, could be later. But I am really not sure. I am sure however about the month and day, and even a timestamp of 6 PM. It felt like it was not too far into the future. I do not know if this was the date this happens, or another day of significance. It did seem important. Though I am convinced this is not for you to know, but only for D.

Where are you:

We were going out to eat. My sister had arranged it. Our family was complete, including dad. We were all much younger, except maybe me. After dinner we would see a movie. My sister wasn’t sure if the place was nice and if the movie was any good. I said the reviews were mixed so it’s probably not a master piece but we’d enjoy ourselves nevertheless. The restaurant turned out to be a crappy small shed. Inside was a counter, manned by one person, and kitchen which could barely fit two people was manned by two. Outside in front of the shed stood a few wooden picnic tables. I suggested we could of course just cancel here and eat somewhere a little more fancy. My sister didn’t want to switch. We sat outside on a picnic bench. There was another family, consisting of three people, seated at another table. I was joking with them about the place’s lack of class, cause they were complaining about how it was advertised as a much fancier place.

At one point I had to really take a leak. The shed didn’t have a toilet, but there was a playground over on the other side of the dirt road the shed was located at. The playground was grassy, had swings and slides, and a sandpit; your typical playground. On the edge of the grass was a toilet building, which was a facility put there for parents who’d spend a day there. It was quite big. Inside the building were showers, baths, vanity units, and sinks to was your hands. It was quite luxurious. The interior was polished marble stone and hard wood. I couldn’t find the toilet though. Then I saw another door. It led into a shower room. I opened it and it was such a big contrast to the luxury that greeted me upon entry. It stank, and it was all grey, with shower units against the wall, without any privacy covers. There was one single drain in the middle. And perhaps most telling; there were puddles of what clearly was pis all over the place.

Apparently everybody before me had taken the same route, unable to find a toilet in this toilet building, and ending up peeing here. It made me gag, but I mustered my will and tried to breathe through my shirt. I peed straight into the drain. It kept coming. I felt no relief. It just kept coming and coming. At one point I heard people come in and audibly question where the toilet was at. It would be a matter of seconds before they would come in, and I didn’t want them to think I peed all over the walls and floor. So I stopped and went back to the nicer part of the building, quickly washed my hands, and went back outside. I don’t even think the other people saw me. I went back to my family, but as I had walked half way across the field of grass I realised I had forgotten my phone. I had put it down on the sink counter when I washed my hands. Shit!

I rushed back to the toilet building, but I was stopped by an invisible force, pulling me back. It became increasingly more difficult to close the distance, until I walked on all fours. Still I couldn’t get any momentum, and looked back behind me. All I remember is darkness. It held me. It had no form, no features, nothing. If I said it looked like a cloud or void, that would still be way too specific and therefore inaccurate. It was nothingness. In front of me was the world in the dream as it was, and behind me was nothing, trying to hold me down. And the most disturbing thing actually was that I recall thinking to myself: “Damn it, this again…” This again? Now that I am awake while typing this, I wonder what I meant. In the dream it was a recurring thing apparently. When I thought it, I meant it. It had happened to me before. Maybe in another dream which I do not remember in the state of mind I am in while writing this? And yet I thought it.

But regardless of what I thought, I didn’t give up. I looked back at my destination and tried to go there still. I was in a bit of a panic, but strangely enough not even because of that darkness at my feet, which apparently was unwanted but not that strange. No, I was in a bit of a panic because the people who had entered the toilet building didn’t look too honest to me and I didn’t want them to take my phone. This is seriously how I felt. The darkness thing was mildly annoying somehow, though thinking back to it I cannot understand how I could’ve taken that so lightly. In the dream I couldn’t break free, so I turned to one of my signature moves in the dream world: Teleportation. I imagined myself going to that place, and going inside, and taking my phone from the sink counter.

And I succeeded and didn’t succeed at the same time. It was like I split reality in two, and in one reality I broke free, but not in the other, but my consciousness remained in the twilight of that split. I was free and not free at the same time. Though in the reality where I broke free I took my phone and put it in my pocket, and from there the darkness faded. I was now back in the dream situation. And as quick as the situation turned, I forgot about what had happened like it was magically snapped out of my conscious mind. I went back to the shed. Considerable time had now passed and I went to find my family. They were no longer sitting at the table, so I figured they had moved on to the theatre, which was also near the shed.

I think I went down a stairs into a basement under the shed to find a cinematic enterprise of sorts. Muffled bombastic music sounded from behind the doors. The movie was well underway, and it was about dinosaurs chasing dinosaurs, while pickup a truck with the protagonists drove along side them on a dirt road with big trees along the side of the road between the field where the large reptiles ran and the road. The CGI was so incredibly perfect that I wondered whether or not this could actually be real. It became so real that eventually it became true. We (the family) were inside that pickup truck, while big brown coloured predatory dinosaurs hunted and killed big greenish herbivores. It was very graphic. Scary even, cause although the predators did not really seem interested in us, it was evident that if they were we had no chance at all. 

It got so scary in fact, I actually woke up in the dream in my old house. I went downstairs and found mom in the living room with my aunt on my dads side. They were sitting at the coffee table in the back of the room, talking. Mom pored me a cup of tea. My aunt noted I looked a little pale. I told her I had a few intense dreams, and one predicted my death. As I told her, I didn’t realise I was still inside the third dream. My mother confirmed to her I have these prophetic dreams sometimes. My aunt didn’t really seem to want to hear what I had to say, and seemed to listen reluctantly because of the gravity of the subjects in the dreams. I eventually landed on the dream I was having, still, with the eating dinner and movie, and suddenly detailing how some dark entity without any features tried to stop me from doing what I was doing. I suddenly realised how completely insane that was, and must admit I experienced a fair amount of self-pity. I stared at the table, and softly asked: “Why do these dreams keep happening to me?

My mother and aunt both had nothing to say, and just sat there, awkwardly. But I got distracted by the sound of a dinosaur outside somewhere in the distance. I left the table to check it out, ran upstairs and looked. From the attic I could see a T-Rex crying out over something. Perhaps something from the movie, where its partner was killed by us? I went downstairs and exited the house through the backdoor. Outside in the garden I still heard the dinosaur cry out. It sounded a bit like a whale song, but not peaceful or blissful at all, as those tend to be. No, this sounded quite menacing. Like an evil whale, if that makes sense. The dream now merged itself again with elements that had separated it first. I went back inside, and exited again through the front door. My brother came with me. Our little niece was there too, but she remained inside as we kept the door slightly opened.

But mom closed it behind us, in a typical “we’re not heating the neighbourhood” fashion, as if these weren’t circumstances where this would not apply, cause there was a freaking dinosaur outside. So a bit aggravated we knocked, cause we didn’t have a key with is. Mom ignored us, but our little niece was able to open the door for us. We quickly took the key (which was actually the key I have for my own backdoor in my own house) and closed the door behind us as we went outside again. We went around the house, but the T-Rex was near, much nearer than we thought. We went around the corner and saw it. There was also another large predator. It was a little darker brown in colour. As soon as they spotted us, they both charged at us. We bolted back towards the house in a panic, and we fled back inside, barely in time for them to not see which way we went.

Now the house seemed empty, like we were the only ones in it now. The dinosaur appeared on the driveway. We could see its distorted image through the stained windows of the front door. My brother panicked, but I knew what to do. In a split second, I grabbed him, pulled him into the kitchen, and hid ourselves under the kitchen counter. There were bottles and other kitchen stuff on the counter which allowed me to risk a peek over the counter through the kitchen window. The large head of a predator appeared, and it darkened the kitchen. It was scary as fuck! But my brother wouldn’t sit still. I kept insisting he shouldn’t move, in a whispering voice as not to make too much noise, with the dinosaur still investigating the interior of the house through the kitchen window. But my brother just didn’t listen. It was like he kind of wanted to be caught or something. Yet, he was visibly scared too. And with good reason, as there was a seven foot long head with teeth the size of milk bottles eyeing the kitchen through the window. It was so scary.

Eventually, both dinosaurs moved on. Then our dad appeared to the scene as he walked into the kitchen. He saw me and M cowering on the ground, and he started laughing, and asked what we were doing. We told him about the dinosaurs. He laughed some more, and insisted they aren’t dangerous. My brother and I got up, and went to the front door. In the distance of our street we saw the two predators looking for us still. We ever so gently opened the door. At the sound of the door opening they looked up and turned their heads towards us, and came charging at us again. We again closed the doors but the terror lizards did not give up this time and broke the kitchen window. I woke up in a bit of a panic. I had to pis like a horse, by the way. 

70. Alien Gloves

Date: 15-01-2024

Last night early in the morning I dreamt I woke up next to D, and had to go to work for the Sinterklaas celebration. We would be travelling by touring cars, departing from school, to a mystery location. The school was VSC, and it was unclear whether I was a teacher or student. Our house was situated near the school, the window of our bedroom would overlook the school courtyard. Our house looked differently, but elements were the same. It looked kind of fairytale-ish. As I laid there waking up I saw a figure being projected on the wall. It looked like someone had edited the “greedy Jew” meme with Sinterklaas attire. I knew they (friends from school) were doing this, perhaps playing a prank on me knowing I sleep near that window. D had noticed it too, and I explained to her what I thought was going on, but then noticed that our wall paper also sported a figure that with squinted eyes looks like that. I wasn’t sure what I had seen now.

I got up and went to the other room. It was dimly lit by decorative lights D had put there, in decorative bottles. It looked quite nice honestly, and it meant I could move about without having to switch on the bigger light, allowing my eyes to get used to light slowly. I looked outside through the bathroom window and saw the front porches of all the houses looked very different. Where the kitchen window is normally, now were large glass sliding doors. The neighbour opposite to us on the corner even had hers opened just slightly. The weather must’ve been warmer than expected. I put on my clothes and went to go to school. But to go there, I had to crawl under cramped holes in wooden walls a few times. And every time I made it through, I realised I forgot to bring something from the other side. I was running late.

And the travel time was apparently at least half an hour by bus, and I know why. After I had found my way to the next room, I had to traverse a distance of about 50 metres through what I can only describe as a magical forest. This magical forest was inside my house, but once inside you were in the outside with this forest and its many creatures. I then had to find my way towards some wooden tree house, climb in through the many small doors and rooms, and eventually would end up in my parents’ old house in Amersfoort. I would end up in the kitchen should I succeed. From there I had to journey to VSC with public transportation. But I never got there. I tried though but I needed to take a very specific route to the tree house, and inside I too needed to enter the rooms in a specific succession. And I didn’t know the right order at all. It didn’t help I also felt rushed because I was running late.

I walked back and forth towards the tree house and was occasionally bullied by a group of magical lizard crows. They were shiny black. Their feathers were thick and had lizard scales. They looked quite fascinating actually, but they were bullying me, flying at me, picking me with their beaks. But they were a minor nuisance, I didn’t really pay too much attention to them, and was actually focussed on my task. Whenever they came back, I just squatted them away as if they were flies. They would retreat to the low treetops, even some on the tree house itself. But I just couldn’t find the right sequence of the route. I climbed over and through thick bushes, even though there was a path. But I already tried that path a few times now with no success. And after a while, I gave up. I couldn’t do it. I just couldn’t do it. There was no way I was going to be on time. Now these scaly birds got my attention. Maybe the answer laid with them? This was a magical forest after all. So I approached the tree house again, and pretended to give it another try. But I was actually positioning myself in such a way I could gain height fast and jump them.

I climbed the tree house from the outside, and noticed the trees themselves in this forest had reptilian properties. The leafs were scaly too, and they looked dark greenish. Spikes and thorns also were scales. It was actually very beautiful. The biologist in me was truly curious about how this works physiologically. How did this evolve? What does ‘the tree of live’ of this reality look like? But I had other things on my mind. I wanted to figure out how to get out of there. The urgency was gone. I was too late. The touring cars left without me. I had accepted this ‘defeat’ if you will. But in order to get back home I too needed to fulfil some quest and I thought these reptilian birds held the key. Oh, by the way; there was no panic or danger or any thing. I felt fine. So, I got near the top of the tree house. I could hear the birds squeak loudly. They had no idea of my plan. As soon as I jumped up on the treetops they froze in place for a split second, just to disperse in panic.

Hahaaaaa!” I exclaimed, and grabbed one of the birds that didn’t get away quick enough. But nothing happened? Meanwhile the other birds were still in the process of fleeing, and were tumbling over each other to get into a flight position. So I grabbed another with my other hand. Nothing. Another, now holding two birds in one hand, and another with the other. Still, nothing. I started collecting birds as if they were logs laying on the ground. They didn’t even try to get away once I held them. I collected them and kept picking them up, carrying them on my arms, and under my armpits. I really got carried away with it, but I noticed some of the birds were smarter than I thought. Much smarter. They evaded me and even tried to communicate with me telepathically. But I didn’t allow it and was very immersed in my game. Until I discovered why the birds were so easy to pick up. They laid piled up in front of me to keep me from finding something. There was something under the pile of birds from which I was collecting them. It was in stealth mode, and it de-cloaked when I picked it up. Some of the birds (the smart ones) looked at me and contacted me again telepathically. What I held in my hand was a big black leather glove.

But this was not a glove made for a human. It clearly was alien. It had more digits, and some digits even had more digits themselves. I distinctly remembered the thumb and pinky both had 3 more digits. The smart birds tried to encourage me to put it on, but I still somehow blocked two way communication. Still, I was curious. I put my hand in, and tried to find a way for my fingers to settle in one of the pouches in a way that seemed most fitting. It was a bit awkward but eventually I found a way, but then I felt a little pinch in my right pinky. I pulled my hand out. There was a little caterpillar that was eating its way under my skin. I pinched it between my nails and pulled it out. It was a white caterpillar with a reddish brown head, and was otherwise quite featureless. I was a bit shocked, but still a bit in a playful mood. What was this? Could this be some alien parasite? Is this why some of those birds are so smart and telepathic? I wasn’t sure. Somehow I thought this could be a parasite that would turn its host into a being that would fit that glove. But it could also be an innocent larvae that was hiding in the glove. Should I kill it?

I didn’t want to kill an innocent creature, but if this was in fact an alien parasite I thought it be better if it didn’t find a host. So I decided to end it. Take no chances. If it was innocent it would’ve died eventually with all these birds everywhere anyway. And it did after all try to crawl under my skin. In one swift move I squashed it under my feet. I was now somehow no longer in the trees but on a concrete floor in a featureless white alleyway, with the occasional window and door here and there. The intelligent telepathic birds were still there looking at what I was doing with interest, still trying to connect to me, but I was still not acknowledging them. Because I didn’t want to risk another caterpillar incident, I checked all the finger pouches, and in one of them I felt a blockade. There was something lodged in there, which I started to try to push out. It felt big, filling the pouch. But it were random items; a toy car, a piece of glass, random things of no interest. I cleared out the pouch and tried on the glove. When I put it on, I found the best way to fit it quicker. And as I had it on, I saw two more laying cloaked near where the smart birds were. I could see through the cloak, and I think that was because of wearing one such glove.

I am not entirely sure but I think in the dream the birds were under the control of the gloves, or the gloves excerpted some kind of influence over them. In the dream it wasn’t evident but looking back I think this is why they got to be so seemingly smart. The glove I had was a right hand. With it on I seemed to be able to control certain things of reality. The flow of time could be sped up or even slowed down, and I could erect force fields, things like that. Though I knew I could do those things, I had no idea how. Through pure luck I found out that if I were to signal someone to come to me, time would slow down and come to a halt for a few seconds, just to speed up faster to catch up with the time around it. It was amazing, but I could not reproduce it. But what if I had two gloves? I turned to the birds and picked up the glove that was a lefty. Through the power of the first glove I could see there were no caterpillars or other surprises waiting for me inside. I put it on. There I stood with these huge things on my hand, like I was a young boy who tried on daddy’s motor gloves. I now felt like I had a better understanding of how to wield this alien technology, but I still was untrained.

It seemed to require a certain level of skill to master these abilities. I was able to better perform my ‘slow down time’ trick, and I started pranking people on the street with it, slowing down time, placing things around them somewhere else, releasing my hold on time, and then watching on as they stood there all confused. The smart birds had now turned into people and they stood there as if they were having fun, clapping their hands with every new trick I performed. It was a really delightful and fun situation and I felt like I was a child with new toys. I woke up because of the noise of hail on the bedroom window.
