Conversations with Entities About Reality

Reports where someone claimed to have had a conversation with another entity or being of some kind. This could be about anything to do with reality, or where the beings are from, or passing along important information about the earth or humans in general, or being taken somewhere to be shown something important. [Note: some links take you to the exact post, some take you to the forum where you may or may not still be able to find the original thread.]

Lectured by an Interdimensional Entity About Reality’s Layers

A user named chapp1e on Erowid describes a wild combo trip (LSD, 2C-B, mushrooms, and DMT) where they were “lectured” by an interdimensional being about the nature of reality. The entity showed them geometric patterns and explained how reality is a stack of infinite layers, each vibrating at different frequencies. The being communicated telepathically, telling them humans are “asleep” to these layers and need to “tune in” to evolve. The user felt this was a cosmic wake-up call.

What a fascinating ride. Obviously evidence is light or non-existant but stories from Psychonauts will always be fascinating to dive into, true or not.

NOTE: This may become just one in a multi-part series but we will see. I still have a lot of other stuff to get posted onto the site. But I definitely want to revisit this idea again with new topics.
