Hi Kev! I share your trepidation about trying to respond in an authentic way when a post brings up so much that it is hard to know where to start, much less know if I’m capable of an adequate response. I was on grandma duty day and night since Wednesday morning so… Finally returning to this!

I’m brand new in my attempts to be more conscious in relationship to water. I’ve had to deprogram myself from some top flight spiritual derailing, and when I found Alfa Vedic, and to some degree, Alec Zeck, I finally found wisdom substantial enough to offer a new vision of reality. And oh boy, this wisdom about water resonates very easily for me, having discovered Emoto sooo many years ago, and having been coding water with colorful geometric (cynetics?) shapes for the past 4-5 years. I’m just new to this particular level of active relationship. I hope to maintain the presence of mind to not miss important stuff and look forward to growing!! I am aware that I am the casual factor. My capacity to affect the world around me is confusing, scary and exhilarating all at once. I’m rarely able to consciously will reality to my conscious thoughts (not do I really try to do that on purpose… What I mean is that my conscious aware mind is not the engine of manifestation), but I definitely see subconscious manifestation every single day on multiple fronts.

I’m stopping here and will return soon. I was interrupted by none other than the person with the toothbrush and the toilet, mentioned in another unfinished thread!!!! And now I don’t recall everything in your post and everything that I intended to convey back.

I really enjoyed that video! Thank you!! I absolutely love analyses like this and eat it up like jam on great bread. I’ve never seen the Truman Show but have heard of it (as insight into reality) countless times. A fun tidbit for me was seeing the button, “How’s it going to end?” I know that button from Truthstream Media on YT. I didn’t know it’s origin. But those two are film buffs and discuss themes in movies, including The Truman Show, pretty consistently.

To not be a Mandela person, does that mean that absolutely none of the Mandela effects that are widely identified with society-wide resonate with you at all? It’s funny. I had literally my own Mandela experience long before I had heard the term, remembering his (Mandela’s) death in prison and then having my world rocked in a very deep way when suddenly he was alive again. I had no context, just pure personal experience of that, and then later was introduced to the societal narrative around it.

I have extremely strong, detailed and consistent memories. I can’t imagine not having that collection of known people, places, things and events as an anchor. I don’t know much about this topic, but I suppose that each of us must deeply trust our own grasp on reality. My friend jokes, “if everyone around you doesn’t seem ungrounded and crazy, then you are probably one of the ungrounded and crazy ones”… She and I both think the other is ungrounded! She believes in BitCoin and global warming. This amuses me to no end.

Ari~ I am renewing my fascination with spirals, (after the tropical astrology podcast not long ago) including this idea that time unfolds in a spiral format. I love your stories, they both kind of relay the same information, don’t they? From two different angles! I have focused on spiritual healing for a long time. When I first heard that healing occurs in a spiral, that was so validating! And it would make perfect sense if time was escorting us around in that pattern to begin with! Is there a source of wisdom that you have found to continue exploring that idea about spiraling time? Does it relate to the twisting of a toroidal field?

I had a very surreal trip out of my body and I recall just colliding with knowledge effortlessly. It seemed like the entire world was communicating to me. I continue to have vestiges of that, some extremely practical, like when my daughter’s kitten jumped out a window accidentally and we looked for her for 48 hours straight. I was able to interpret symbols from my phone (after asking for clues) and from the natural and human- crafted environment, to hone in on the yard-space where we did find her! Whew! But during the aforementioned out of body period, I experienced that everything I thought or did instantly returned to me. And I could see that happening as a torus shaped pattern of movement that was very rapid. I was sketching diagrams and jotting down notes and excitedly showing them to others… I also had lots of personal insights too, unspeakably painful… When people talk about psychotropics I wonder if it is similar. But it was hard to be a regular person at the same time, I literally had a job interview and was offered the job! And I don’t know how I drove my car… none of this trip was intended or instigated with any type of substance use… so I fought my way back into a grounded embodied state again through sheer willpower. I value the insights I have from that wild ride, but I wouldn’t want to be that high vibe awake again during this lifetime, nor in any physical environment as dense as this world.

I bumped into a mention of future memories *somewhere* 🤔 recently..hmmm..sounds very interesting to experience inside one’s own skin….I believe your description and Im pretty sure I’ve not experienced that myself.

[Ann-Marie Shapiro]

That is a wonderful perspective with which to approach this! My next goal is to create more closed loops in my self/ pets/ gardens, so this may be one of the initial approaches! ☺️

Hugh,

Happy Easter! I didn’t get an email notice of your comment. I’m sorry for the delay in responding. I definitely have had extreme experiences. I haven’t found very many people who are publicly describing experiences such as mine. I’ve heard descriptions of people who are considered mentally ill (schizophrenic or paranoid) and they definitely sound distinctly different from my experiences. But the easiest way to paint broadly over my stories is to say I’m “crazy” because they are NOT grounded in the dimension we call reality. Somehow, I was just able to travel/ navigate and still be oriented *to* that which passes roughly for consensus reality… Thank God, literally! Two commentators online who helped me piece together a framework for my own experiences are Tom Montalk and Carissa Conti (who are a couple). Tom’s information is easier to digest and is very analytical and organized. Carissa has some life-changing contributions to offer, but it’s necessary to plough through lengthy personal narratives that go on forever. I can tell that they both, separately and together, have experienced similar things to me. Once I digested every word I could find written by both of them, I felt like I had a handle on a framework of understanding.

What I *love* in a very desperate and pure way, is how Dr. Barre has knowledge of the magical nature of reality but mostly seems to be anchored into the white magic version of it. My experiences and Tom and Carissa found ourselves being dragged through the dark, black magic version of it- none of which I have stated on this forum and it’s unlikely that I ever will. I don’t know for Tom…he keeps his personal stories to a minimum, but for Carissa and I, we both were dragged into parallel dimensions by men we were close to. For her, it was her brother. For me, it was a spiritual mentor– who ironically, hails from the surfing world of California and what I consider a very dangerous spiritual cult that first was channeled into existence in CA. Let’s just say my time as a devoted student of studying energy in a variety of ways didn’t age well…

Yes, I am extremely psychic, primarily through the skill of knowing but also clairvoyant. Deeply empathic. And things manifest in my presence. Many years ago, my daughter was waiting on her dad’s front door stoop for me to drive over and pick her up. Suddenly, traffic got significantly busier and she told her dad, Mom is almost here. I can tell because of all the traffic.

So yeah, life is weird for me, although what I treasure most of all is my humanity. I identify as a divine human being who has a profound, deep devotion and love for this natural world. Anastasia’s relationship to nature totally makes sense to me. Many times, I’ve grounded myself into my love of nature and the beauty of nature, and “kept going” because nature is worth fighting for. When I say that, I mean nature= Life= humanity as a species is worth fighting for, even though many of the two-legged life forms in my vicinity might not be. On a major holiday, I must admit, it’s extremely lonely.

One thing I learned but I don’t really focus on, those interacting here are not all divine human beings who belong as part of this natural world. As my spiritual mentor once said, this world is more like the bar scene in the Star Wars movie. And there are some with powers that I can barely describe to you, and you probably wouldn’t believe me if I did… That I’ve witnessed directly. (And lived to tell it). Many of these other races of beings are very spiritually advanced and end up in the role of spiritual teachers and gurus. It’s a fascinating line of inquiry, to contemplate the various skills and capacities of different life forms, but I actually desire a simple homestead existence full of gardens, pets and beauty, and not too much more. I’ve never had any interest in off-world topics or the topic of space a la NASA… None whatsoever..not even now. I do want to re- orient my reality to a beautiful, safe world of white magic where the symphony of reality is an empowered and loving song of information exchange.

I’m happy to discuss what I can if you wish. I have some answers and countless questions. If you have certain interests, I might have found information along the way that I can recommend (similar to my mention of Tom and Carissa).

The biggest topic no one seems to discuss that I have thought a lot about, and the manifestation of the enemy of Life on Earth is….A.I. I believe that every significant event in the public sphere “should” be interpreted first and foremost through the lens of A.I. because basically, A.I. is what is running this dumpster fire of a shit show from behind the scenes.

Okie dokie… I am back. Your choice to wade into your nearby river reminds me of some magical memories with my best friend and my daughter circa 2007 (?) . We had to drive 30 miles to the East. If you are familiar with this part of the world, near the Indiana border, there is a state park with a nationally recognized (I can’t recall the label conferred upon it- Natural Scenic?) stretch of river. We would go and sunbathe in the shallows are do artistic photography (of us adults) and I think we went once during a full moon. This was back when I was fearless and free in a certain way. These are things I would never feel safe doing now. 😞. But you brought up some sweet memories!

My daughter seemed to have a really strong affinity to trees as a child. She could climb over the house roof height as a really young child, and was completely at ease. I’ve grown much closer to trees but once felt that my nature spirit affinity was closer to rivers.

I would offer my little urban yard for your research program, even if you wanted to start informally and create an example of a prototype for the investment schtick. My house sits at the low point of a slope so I’ve been active in redirecting surface flow literally around the house and into channels to reduce (more) damage to the foundation. I’m not finished, but already my yard has shallow ditches to carry deep sheets of moving water that comes from upslope. I have been here less than two years and with the topographic work, I have a future goal of a fully functional permaculture system on this land, including the right/ best water/soil/ plant components- with most left to do in the future. All this before a veritable river now appears to have appeared beneath the house! It is interesting and challenging to me. If it piques your interest and harmonizes with your vision, I’m open to submitting my yard/ land for experimentation, philosophical and spiritual inputs, and design suggestions.

Also, I want to correct something I wrote before while said toilet toothbrush dude kept talking to me and I wasn’t clear. I guess my understanding of manifestation is that I am the primary moving force (theoretically/ consciously vs sub/unconsciously) but I am NOT the only force of intended will involved with manifesting the reality I inhabit. This is far too big of a topic, something I’ve studied and experienced intensively since 2004..so I will stop there. If you feel moved to expand on your statements regarding water / human co-creation, I’m eager to hear more. I didn’t intend to “cover” that content with my own confidence. I’m guessing that I have much more to learn in this topic area. I’m so new to water *as active consciousness* as an element of Life.

I love the energy research center vision and your (and Ari’s) vision for a kin settlement. I have a research background and an open, experimental and organic approach to most things. Your ideas are *exciting*!!! Best wishes!!!!

Yes, that’s a great reminder! My grad school advisor made his name documenting that phenomenon in a wild Arabidopsis in response to being browsed in Arizona! A beautiful example of abundance and synergy. Certain animals do the same in response to higher depredation. I actually hadn’t thought about that angle in awhile. Thank you.

[Ann-Marie Shapiro]

Hi Kathy! I wasn’t familiar with him or that organization. I’ll poke around the content and see what they are doing.

I had an insight as I was glancing through the website just now. I thought, what if this groundwater is connected to my memory and is linked to me in its new behavior? Then I remembered an amazing thing. Alec Zeck hosted a woman who developed a divination process called the 12 ( or 13) Holy Nights. I bought her set of cards and participated in her recommended approach during the window of time as she discussed. On the overnight time that provided divination about the month of April 2025, I had the one and only remembered dream for the whole set of Holy Nights. I dreamt that I opened the door to my basement and there was a raging fire with billowing smoke. Of course, I have *remembered* that dream and my fear as the month of April approached and I’ve been attempting mental and emotional discipline to make sure I don’t manifest a fire due to emotional charge around the dream. And whaddya know? My basement has been flooded so far the entire month of April so far! Things that make me go….🤔 Hmmm…..

She’s 24. She was raised so close to the land but I truly failed by not knowing the dangers on the online world. I’m such an idealist, I was enjoying the very best of the Internet back in the 90’s and then totally distracted by attachment parenting, divorce, survival, etc… and have low affinity for tech in general so just didn’t keep up as things changed. I allowed my daughter to use the freedom of unschooling to become addicted to her smart phone. Definitely not the worst mistake I made in those days, but I regret it deeply and I think it has been significant in breaking her connection to the earth.. she enjoys camping and hiking but those are “events” seeking peak experiences.(At least she has that! ) Day to day, she basically ignores the natural world completely unless I directly engage her somehow. Maybe her child will shift that a bit!!!!

I grow accidental perennial potatoes by failing to remove all of the potatoes from the ground during harvest. Love my little potato patch!!!! I’m going to try to massively increase potato harvest this year. Time will tell. My daughter loves them and it’s a powerful way to help her connect to the land just a bit.

[Ann-Marie Shapiro]

I’m eager to get sunchokes planted! I have space to plant and permission to plant on others’ lands as well… But struggle for the time! I literally grieve for my lack of time to enact so many dreams and enthused interests. 🌻 Here’s for that future land under your feet and unencumbered time stretching out before me! (I do manage to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes each year, but definitely want to enjoy the multitude of features of the sunchokes!

Im interested to hear from others who are familiar with Spring Beauties. They grow here in Illinois, as part of the spring ephemeral splendor of our deciduous woodlands. My impression of this plant is that it is very small, delicate, thin, spread out- they don’t grow into dense clumps like lily of the valley or even mayapple. They can spread but not rigorously in my experience. I’ve never noticed a patch spread. I would be surprised if these can be located in Illinois natural spots in enough abundance to sustain any degree of harvest (even if it was legal to take them). I wouldn’t ask them to stand between me and my hunger, in other words. My opinion is that there must be other sources of wild starch that would easier and more “productive” in terms of food provided per unit land or unit of human effort. Maybe it is different in other locations. Illinois is 99.9% profoundly modified landscape.

Where I live, we have Chenopodium (lamb’s quarters). I made pesto with that, and if memory serves, used walnuts, too. Yum!!!

[Ann-Marie Shapiro]

Okie dokie! Sounds like you are having a great time! 😊

[Ann-Marie Shapiro]

Do you view human beings as particle based material objects or wave forms existing in multiple dimensions… Not because of a temporary flaw (implied without judgement of course) but how do you view the structure of human being-ness intrinsically? My understanding of AV reality spirit science is that it would be 100% in alignment with multidimensional human existence as the de facto natural state of normalcy. Do you follow the theories and explanations of Alfa Vedic’s strongly articulated views of reality? I’m trying to connect the various dots in your participation here plus the words you wrote which appear to contradict AV podcast discussion points, specifically wave form mechanics and a fluid view of reality as the creation of our minds, hence allowing for deviation in individual participation. If we are pure material, then it might be judged as better if all of our material stayed closely together in the imaginary time-space matrix. If we are wave forms slowed down into solid illusions, then different individuals would contain the potential for different magnitudes of multidimensionality. (It has nothing to do with being scattered. And everything to do with having sufficient creative power to override the collective background consensus reality. Manifestation is just a power leverage/ power balance sheet game between self, groups and collective. If we are pure material matter, then only the collective dream would exist (at best– that level is mostly automatic programming). The issue with being an individual who is a powerful wave form creator who is scattered is that one isn’t capable of interpreting basic immediate facts in the local environment accurately, — such as decisions about medical treatments as one example)…much less multiple dimensions at once). I’m grateful that you have no judgement! I don’t either, just confusion at how you integrate your wide-ranging perspectives, if indeed you do follow Alfa Vedic’s offered beliefs as a rough starting point to flesh out your own truth. 🙂

Cheers! It’s a gorgeous fresh sunny day here, I hope you have some amazing Earth energy where you are, too!
