Reframing the Mandela Effect: A Broader Model

“The world is not only stranger than we suppose – it is stranger than we can suppose.” – Terence McKenna, The Archaic Revival

“False memory arises from individual cognitive distortion; Mandela Effects exhibit consistent, collective shifts – pointing not to memory failure, but to discontinuities in the external reality field.”

The Mandela Effect is not a failure of individual or collective memory, but rather a perceptual symptom of an underlying reality that is dynamic, layered, and influenced by factors beyond ordinary space-time.

What we experience as “timeline anomalies” or “collective false memories” are markers of this deeper, fluid nature of reality.

Refresh 

What is the Mandela effect?

Internet search: The Mandela Effect is a term first coined by paranormal researcher Fiona Broome to describe her vivid false memories of Nelson Mandela dying in prison in the 1980s, even though he passed away in 2013. Other people chimed in saying they remembered that same event. Website

Is it a false memory? No.

How Does this Make Sense? 

Far too many articles (possibly referencing the same sources) now label the Mandela Effect as if ‘false memory’ were a proven fact – without presenting any real analysis of why vast numbers of people share identical alternate memories across continents. In reality, the ‘false memory’ label is an unsupported consensus bias, not a scientific explanation.

When thousands, or millions, of unrelated individuals – with no prior contact – report the same precise alternate memory, the statistical odds of this being random ‘false memory’ rapidly approach zero. The math simply doesn’t work – unless there is an underlying shift in the reality field itself.

In one popular “debunking” article on the Mandela Effect, researchers propose that certain visual elements or cultural stereotypes may “trick” the brain into forming false memories – for example, suggesting that many people misremember the Monopoly Man as wearing a monocle because a monocle fits a cultural stereotype of a rich person. Link

But this explanation falls apart under scrutiny:

1. Static vs Dynamic Memory
The experimental setup used in such visual studies typically involves static logos or images – inherently different from the original Mandela Effect reports, which often center on fluid events (news reports, movie lines, geographic placements, personal experiences).

Projecting the results of a static image test onto dynamic, temporal memory events is a methodological mismatch. It bakes in confirmation bias – designing an experiment guaranteed to produce “false memory” findings by framing the memory task unnaturally.

2. Undefined “Cultural Stereotype”
The notion that “a monocle fits a cultural stereotype of a rich person” raises its own problem: What era is this stereotype being drawn from?

• 1930s cartoons? 1950s imagery? 1980s advertising?
  There is no clear contemporary monocle stereotype in modern Western culture. The Monopoly Man example relies on anachronistic cultural assumptions to retroactively justify the collective memory – which is circular reasoning.

3. Global Consistency
Even if one grants the possibility of cultural stereotypes influencing individual memory – how does this explain the remarkable consistency of identical Mandela Effects across different countries, languages, and cultures?

Monopoly was not marketed identically across the globe, and yet the same false memory appears across continents – something no stereotype-based model can adequately account for.

The Mandela Effect is a Global Phenomenon. Dare to deviate from the consensus view? Link. The writer offers his perspective: “Most approaches to explaining the phenomenon are conspiracy-based pseudo-theories that deal with parallel universes.”

Countering that:

“Parallel universes are not a theory. They are the unavoidable consequence of quantum mechanics.” – David Deutsch (Oxford physicist, quantum computation)

Ancient & Indigenous traditions have long described reality as mutable:

• Hinduism: Maya – the world is illusion-like and shifting.
• Buddhism: Dependent origination – all phenomena are contingent and interdependent, not fixed.
• Native American cosmologies: reality is interwoven with dreamtime or spirit layers; things can “flip” or reconfigure.
• Hermeticism: As above, so below – the material world reflects higher-order dynamism.

Throughout history, shamans, mystics, and philosophers have accepted reality as layered and changeable – not the linear, mechanistic model of modern materialism.

Echoes in the field:

⚛️ Quantum Mechanics

• Superposition: particles exist in multiple states until observed.
• Quantum decoherence: the process by which one outcome becomes dominant in our experience.
• Many-Worlds Interpretation (Everett): all possible outcomes continue to exist in parallel worlds.

🧠 Consciousness Studies & Psi Phenomena

• Studies of precognition, remote viewing, and non-local consciousness show that minds can access information from “outside” linear time.
• Experiencers often report timeline shifts, glitches, and bleed-throughs, suggesting consciousness is not strictly bound to a single fixed timeline.

Coloring outside the lines

The False Memory article fails to present any real analysis of why vast numbers of people share identical alternate memories across continents.

It is critical to distinguish between internal false memory – a cognitive distortion arising within a single brain – and what the Mandela Effect represents: a collective memory shift that emerges across vast, unrelated populations.

In false memory, each individual misremembers differently, shaped by their own unique experiences or biases. In contrast, Mandela Effects display remarkable cross-individual consistency – with identical alternate memories arising among people who have never interacted.

This suggests we are not seeing a failure of isolated memory, but a discontinuity in the external consensus reality field itself – consistent with models of fluid, layered, or multi-timeline reality.

As Alan Watts reminded us, time is not an absolute – and as Terence McKenna warned, reality is far stranger than our cultural models suggest.

Perhaps it is time we take the Mandela Effect seriously – not as a glitch in human memory, but as a glimpse into the true nature of a dynamic, living universe.

If time is a social construct – and reality is stranger than we can even imagine – then perhaps it is no surprise that many of us occasionally find ourselves living in different versions of the past. The so-called Mandela Effect is often dismissed as “false memory,” but this simplistic label fails to explain how vast numbers of unrelated individuals across the globe recall identical alternate histories.

The Unasked Question: Who Is Shifting the Field?

There is another glaring omission in most discussions of the Mandela Effect – one that should be front and center: agency. If collective memory is shifting in ways that defy statistical plausibility and cognitive models, we must ask: who or what is influencing the reality field?

Discussions of “false memory” completely ignore the possibility of external agents – whether extradimensional, non-human intelligences, advanced technologies, or natural consciousness-based mechanisms – who may be capable of engineering such shifts for their own purposes.

And yet, within UFO/ET research, high-strangeness encounters, and ancient traditions, the idea of hidden intelligences subtly shaping human perception and history is both well-documented and longstanding.

John Foster’s lifelong UFO encounters (documented in To Earth from Heaven) describe classic reality bending effects:

• Entities told him directly: “This is not the only version of reality. Things have shifted. You will remember both – others will not.”
• People he knew suddenly did not remember entire shared experiences (missing from their memory – as if the timeline was rewritten).
• Entire landscapes and structures changed after encounters.
• Time dilation: hours experienced as minutes, or vice versa.

Whitley Strieber: The Key and reality slips:

In The Key, Strieber recounts a conversation with an enigmatic visitor who explains: “Reality is a series of choices. If you shift in your being, you will shift in the reality that is projected around you.”

In Communion and subsequent books:

• Strieber felt that entire versions of the past had altered post-contact.
• Friends forgot entire encounters they had both participated in.
• Photographs changed after encounters (people missing or added).

“The UFO phenomenon represents a level of consciousness that we are not yet ready to understand. It is not an alien invasion; it is a challenge to our concept of reality.” – Jacques Vallée (Passport to Magonia)

That this layer of inquiry is systematically avoided – even by those presented with direct experiential evidence – raises an unsettling question: why is no one willing to confront the possibility that these shifts are not random at all?

It’s complicated

“We exist in a universe that appears to consist of multiple realities. What we think of as reality is but one small part of a much larger and more complex system.” – John Keel (The Mothman Prophecies)

 

“The only way to explain the anomalous phenomena is to accept that reality is more than just the material world we see. It must involve higher dimensions, possibly involving consciousness itself.” – Bernard Carr (astrophysicist, UK, on higher dimensions and consciousness)

The Fog ... connect the dots. Synchronicity

“When you reach the end of what you should know, you will be at the beginning of what you should sense.” - Kahlil Gibrán, Sand and Foam, Goodreads.


The synchronicity thing is in overdrive.

"May you live in Interesting times" ... It would seem this is that kind of time. And the origin of THAT saying is not as has been implied. The suggested origin has yet another synchronistic tie to our present day scenario. Quora.

• I noticed recent dots connecting when I began watching the a Missing 411 Documentary on Youtube. I had already seen the segment on missing Hunters and several elements of that were very familiar, reminding me of a conversation: Jocelyn Buckner [Sedona, Bradshaw Ranch] talked about stepping into a different dimension an odd experience when she ventured off the path with her friends and crossed to another section of the trail. We had two interview sessions and both links are included on a previous Blog post.
  
  Jocelyn said it was just a short distance and she had an unobstructed view of her companions. She thought they could see her but they seemed oblivious and didn't respond to her conversation. When she retraced her steps to return to a previous location on the path, they asked where she had been and told her she had been gone for a longer time than what she experienced.
  
  Two elements: While she could still see them, she was invisible to her fellow hikers and their sense of time was not in sync. I am paraphrasing but the story is in our interview.
  
• In one Missing 411 case [The Hunted], searchers reported being able to hear a voice while being unable to locate the source. In others, items of clothing were found in areas far from where the person vanished or would likely have traveled.
  
• Connect that to the series One Step Beyond and the Encounter [UFO] episode. About a pilot who said he had taken pictures of something that came "right out of the cloud" (Fog?), then the pilot vanished. Search was hampered by a storm. Rescuers sighted strings and thought they found a parachute. There were unexplained strings but they were not part of any parachute. And no body. Four days later, the pilot was located, sighted by his parachute. He was a thousand miles off course. Recovered shortly after he was sighted, he did not survive. The Doctor at the scene attributed the cause of death to extreme fright.
  
• Experiencer John Foster's books detail his memories of ET/Alien contact since the 50's and the trauma he underwent when he realized, at age 48, all that had been happening since childhood that he had "forgotten" ...
  
  His story started with a memory of grade school encounters in Nebraska. Fog is a major player as many of the encounters involve crafts, beings, time shifts and entire scenes or landscapes manifesting from fog.
  
  Curious about Schoolyard or playground UFO encounters? Preston Dennett, documents 100 such encounters..

Yet another type of "Fog" -
Sent to me by a friend. Stanley Hotel.

Monday [9/23] started with a beautiful clear sky.
I noticed the stars were incredibly bright at 5 am.
The outline of the partial moon was a luminous sliver.

Shortly after 6 am, monitoring the morning traffic rush, everything changed.

Patches of extremely dense fog moved in and parts of the metro area went to zero visibility in minutes.

Fog had cleared when I walked out to the parking lot. Then I saw the front license plate on car parked directly in front of mine: FOG.


One more link. Reviewing my blog that morning, the magic word Synchronicity popped up in Michael Prescott's blog, content he had pulled from his archives.

The message with the various "fog" scenarios? No matter what seems to be happening - fog has different properties and, in some cases, serves a different purpose.

It can be weather related. However, taking reports of experiencers (me too) into account, it can also represent a dimension shift that affects our experience of time. And the more odd and unusual occurrences that are documented and publicized the more evidence we have that our reality is quite capable of hiding things in plain sight. Fog.

Bruce Gernon has clues as does John Foster and there are clues among the Missing 411 cases. All are experiencing extraordinary events while under the influence of something we tend to categorize as ordinary uneventful nothing-weird-happening-here fog.

One more clue? So very curious is the child who is recovered in that aforementioned Missing 411 Documentary on YouTube. The toddler was missing for 3 days. Searchers who were ready to shift from search to recovery were completely gobsmacked when - out of the fog - walks the little girl. Unharmed and unexplained.

We are living in interesting times.

Forecast/ prediction: Given the scenario as presented with this combination of synchronicities?
The fog is clearing. Clarity. 
Fascinating revelations coming.

Paranormal encounters and Time Shifts – are they increasing?

 “For the whole life-effort of man was to get his life into direct contact with the elemental life of the cosmos, mountain-life, cloud-life, thunder-life, air-life, sun-life. To come into immediate felt contact, and so derive energy, power, and a dark sort of joy.” – D.H. Lawrence, Pantheist.net.

3.7.23

I woke up to the sound of my alarm – it was muffled and sounded far away. Confused, I heard the noise stop as I reached for my phone. It wasn’t actually the phone. The alarm had not been activated. The time was 12 am. Birthday wake up call.

Recent quirk – my phone alarm shifted from swipe to button function. Somehow, I managed to plug in the right words to locate info on an android alarm update – the quirk: on my phone, the function keeps switching without me doing anything. Some days are button mode. Other days the swipe is back. I am guessing, with my non-selection, it will eventually settle on the button update.

Pantheism synchronicity

Recently, my channeling sources have asked to be categorized or labeled as elementals. The selection of that word is said to indicate a focus on topics which require more immediate attention and a need for collaborative focus on nature and the environment. (Animals, Plants, Ecosystem, Cosmology)

When I have asked why there is so little pre-cog information that might preempt large populations from having to endure extreme hardships of war, famine, poverty, eco-tragedy, and inhumane treatment on a grand scale, the response has been that we are entirely too literal in our language and communication methods and the lessons are necessary.

Information is given when there is no chance of altering the larger outcome in such a way that prevents us from doing our own homework and learning from the event. Change is required. Failure to adapt and redirect perpetuates stagnation and eventual decay. To change is to evolve.

Whatever challenge we manage to dodge instead of facing, confronting, and/or addressing will present itself in another form. Negative circumstances and bloody confrontations are part of this phase – the ‘hope’ from higher sources is that we will learn to value what has been referred to as ‘harmony in a world of difference’ … DIVERSITY.

3.8. 23

11:30 pm. I woke up. At the same time Jack started barking. As he barks, I am looking at a transparent figure standing alongside the bed. Jack keeps barking. I understand he is trying to alert me to the presence and tell him, thank you. I see what he is barking at and it is okay.

He backs down and settles on his pillow. How fleeting that moment, because the very minute I realized I was looking at a transparent human figure, I lost the context. No features. No clothing to identify. I remember movement. It appeared to be moving – turning away. It was the size of an adult. And it was gone.

Asleep again, I dream a wave comes up behind me and I lift myself up above the water. I am now levitating and looking down at the waves, a few feet below. I just hold myself above and wonder at the beauty of it all. Now I see people in the water. They are about chest deep and not stressed. I lower myself in the water beside them and wonder what they are waiting for.

3.9.2023

Biography – Picnic at Hanging Rock – Joan’s Time Shift

Several times, the mention of someone referring to Joan as a mystic, had me curious. I needed to read the biography to see if there was anything more to offer about her metaphysical experiences and her abilities. Acquaintances said “she could see things that others couldn’t and knew things without being told.”

Much of what I read has been offered in some form through various interviews and articles but the book offers a timeline of her life experiences and her writing progress. And I did learn about a very important event in the book that underscored Joan’s unique relationship with time.

Joan hinted about a few things but kept a lot to herself regarding her abilities. She did divulge one fantastic event that defies explanation – and/or linear definition of time – plus, it substantiates her own belief that time does not run on a clock.

The book is full of pictures – including one at the close that speaks to the limited influence time has on our existence beyond physical form. There is a figure, believed to be Joan, standing at the window, looking out of her house at Mulberry Hill.

Moody Blues – UFO Encounter – Missing Time

You have to dig to find this. Worth it because the full story is impressive. John Lodge posted a photo on his facebook page: “UFO’s escorting Moody Blues on their USA tour…” followed above as they were out and about.

Published in Flying Saucer Review –

“So I told the guys to pull over and we got out. We all looked over the top of the car and there was this red ball kind of thing moving across the freeway that turns into a square … like a red dice. As it approached us, it got bigger and bigger, and we were all sort of bathed in this blue light.”

“We ended up getting home three hours late and wondering what the heck was that?”

From what Graeme Edge told his friends, it felt like they were “mesmerized as if in a dream.” The object looked like “a fat cigar with a low protrusion on top, with seven dull red lights on it.” He told Peter Willsher, who relayed the story to the British Flying Saucer Review, that “The upper half of the object appeared metallic, whereas the lower half was red and pulsed from left to right.” – Source. MUFONOHIO

Time, space, and infinity

• Is Time Linear or Circular – Author suggests, “Time is attached to each part of space, forming a space-time continuum, and as everything moves, vibrates, changes, it is related to the fact that time is a dimension that allows change, and spatial dimensions enable things to be in different places.” – Daria Bocicova, Source.
  
  
• Infinity Physics – Researchers working on a theory use as their example, “So everything springs from rest and is polarized. Everything remains polarized (feedback loop) until the force which keeps it apart is voided and is brought back to rest as a new awareness. This is how consciousness grows and evolves.” 
  
  “Some of the language being used to describe these concepts are influenced by Walter Russell’s work who incredibly was developing these ideas and awareness’s 70 years ago. So advanced for his time, the genius Nichola Tesla told him to lock his book away for 1000 years until humanity was ready to receive it!” Source.

• Walter Russell Cosmology – “As a result of his profound insight, Russell made a phenomenal discovery – that all matter comes forth from a zero-point field of energy, which is the true essence of the universe. This omniscient field is called the universal source or mind source and is made of electricity.” Source.
  

NDE – Timeline of ‘future’ events revealed

I listened to an NDE story as I was working on this post. Again, the time element is addressed. Bill Tortorella had a near death experience in 1994. Video.

Spirit guardians, telepathic communication, life review and future events referred to as the “Hall of Events”. Future, Past, and Present. Angels and 9 principles of Enlightenment. including Choice, Intuition, Service, Warning, Numbers. Numbers were important and an indication to pay attention. His special numbers are 66.

The 911 tragedy was foreshadowed. The information he was given about a daughter who didn’t exist at that time includes a detail he shares in a revelation at the end of the video.

Bill shares this information in greater detail in his book: The Ninth Level of Enlightenment: The Wisdom of the Light, Amazon.

Interesting that he witnessed the ‘future’ as events that were happening in front of him and happening so fast he saw the future….future….and future… indicating it had already happened as part of his experience. Fascinating and not linear.

No Time like the present

“Albert Einstein once wrote: People like us who believe in physics know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion. Time, in other words, he said, is an illusion. Many physicists since have shared this view, that true reality is timeless.”- NPR.

In the NPR conversation between Ira Flatow and theoretical physicist Lee Smolin – Smolin suggests a different understanding of time might help us to better understand the universe. His book is Time Reborn: From the crisis in physics to the future of the universe.

As I understand Smolin’s theory, it seems he is suggesting that time does exist – and it is relative, an independent state, necessary to connect our material dots – but it also changes to fit the dimension, universe, space, the being, the presence. At least that is how I interpret it.

All of these experiences of normal and paranormal events emphasize the one thing that continued to play out in Joan Lindsay’s life, a knowing she tried to convey in her writing as it manifested in her private and public life. “Time is not on a clock.”

Rather than an external state, time exists in a state of flow. Coming at it from a different angle might help determine a different awareness and understanding. How does a butterfly experience time?

I set my clocks ahead … because they tend to lose time… Curious.

Consciousness, Imagination, UFOs, Aliens and Enigmas exist to throw Monkey wrenches in the Cosmic Timeline

"The imagination is not a state: it is the human existence itself." - William Blake.

• - In his Life of William Blake (1863) Alexander Gilchrist warned his readers that Blake “neither wrote nor drew for the many, hardly for work’y-day men at all, rather for children and angels; himself ‘a divine child,’ whose playthings were sun, moon, and stars, the heavens and the earth.”
  
  Blake tended to his brother in his illness and according to Gilchrist watched the spirit of his brother escape his body in his death: “At the last solemn moment, the visionary eyes beheld the released spirit ascend heaven ward through the matter-of-fact ceiling, ‘clapping its hands for joy.’"
  
  Blake always felt the spirit of Robert lived with him. He even announced that it was Robert who informed him how to illustrate his poems in “illuminated writing.” - Source.

• The science of Consciousness: "Our minds invent for us a universe of colours, sounds, shapes and feelings through which we interact with our world and relate to each other, Seth Anil argues. We even invent ourselves.
  
  “We perceive the world not as it is, but as it is useful to us,” Seth writes. In other words, we evolved this generated reality because operating through our hallucinated world improves our survival, by helping us avoid danger and recognize food, for example."

4am. Cat wakes me. Say, No. Launch pillow toward meow. [This routine can sometimes start at 2am.] Quieter meow under chair. Say, No. Firm tone of voice. Too early.
4:33am. Still awake. Let cat out.
4:36am. Dozing.
Base of neck. Slight tickle? Rub neck. Epiphany. Look at clock. Time is 5am.

Inform invisible helper clock is set 10 minutes ahead. Wait 9 minutes. Silence phone before alarm wakes puppy.

Time is relative. As is dreaming.

Recent Facebook convo - 

Q - Gary: Hey Wendy, I have a thought for you. What if the Wachowskis’s brothers were correct! What if we really are in the current Matrix? Most of us have no idea that we are in the Matrix and very few believe that we are. Both the Oracle and the Architect realize the human need machines.

Councilman Hamann states, “I like to be reminded that this (Zion) city survives because of these machines. If we wanted, we could smash them to bits, although if we did we would have consider what would happen to our lights, our heat, our air.” So we need the machine and they need us.

Now the question for you to ponder, in the Matrix, the Smiths were agents (programs) to protect the Matrix’s program and keep the Resistance contained. In the movie, when an Agent enters the Matrix they abduct a program (human). Where does this program (human) go while the Agent has control of this program (their body)?

Is it possible that these are Agent (Alien) abduction? Maybe, just maybe, we are transported to the REAL (Alien) world and our “Matrixed” minds can only explain it as an Alien abduction?"

A - Wendy: Excellent. Good interpretation. Many would agree. - Through a glass, darkly.... what we see is only what our [individual] software is capable of accessing and integrating .. and that is unique to each perceiver ... lots of cool stuff gets lost or misperceived in translation ... and that's a fun challenge!

No matter what it seems -- no one here has a full deck. 😉 Fun times! 😃

Soooooooooo... the challenge is to level up! Cheers!

Reply - Gary: Excellent response.

Wendy's Coffeehouse interview with Shelley Kaehr

Meet Your Karma: The Healing Power of Past Life Memories
By Shelley A. Kaehr, Ph.D.

My latest book Meet Your Karma: The Healing Power of Past Life Memories features case histories of people who discovered their current life struggles with depression, trauma and anxiety were actually tied to past lives. Over the course of the past twenty years, I’ve seen repeatedly that while we might have endured hardships in our current incarnations, when we have trouble moving past certain conditions and emotions, a past life is often the root cause.

Recently a client came to see me to help with her desire to stop smoking. I consider smoking a very challenging situation because many people want to quit for the wrong reasons -- for others, rather than themselves. When someone makes the decision to stop for themselves, however, hypnosis really works.

My client gave me a heartfelt explanation of her sincere desire to stop but mentioned that something kept stopping her. During her regression, I asked her to return to the real source event of where her love of smoking began and to our surprise, she zipped back to a very early life in prehistoric times. She saw herself near the smoke of her fire, enjoying the smell.

Preview on Amazon

“What does that fire represent to you?” I asked.

“Safety. Life,” she said, without hesitation.

Further discussion revealed that on a soul level, this woman truly perceived fire to be equivalent to life because in ancient times, the fire meant many things – you kept warm, you warded off predators, you could cook your food which was a real luxury. No wonder she couldn’t stop smoking!

After her talking through this revelation with her angelic guide and coming to a soul understanding that she no longer needed to hang on to the old belief that fire equals life, she released that stuck energy and moved forward. After the session, she said she felt much better. Since this happened quite recently, I will be more than excited to hear from her again down the road to see how this helped, which I hope it did.

Her story is so similar to the case histories in Meet Your Karma. All of them showcase people who went into former lives where fear was at the core of the decision making. In modern society, we’ve all learned to fear a variety of things – fear of rejection, social isolation and the like, but in reality, those kinds of situations, while painful, are not actually going to kill us and end our existence. The majority of the cases where people struggled with anxiety, depression and trauma involved serious life and death situations that needed to be cleared so the client could feel safe in the now. By so doing, healing and relief happened.

Using my RELIEF Method for anxiety, clients are able to release the ties to the past, change the frequency of unwanted situations and lighten and brighten previously challenging events so they can move forward without fear, but with empowerment to live happier and more peaceful lives. Meet Your Karma includes the RELIEF Method processes readers can try for themselves and hopefully release unwanted influences from the past to create a brighter future.

With help from Terence, UFO Researchers might connect a few dots.

38:17 - Terence: "Dennis has totally broken through when he made the sound." And I said, "Uh, I don't exactly understand what you want. And he says, "Well, a lot of people don't see it, and it's best that they don't. But there's an insect like anthropologist studying us. And at the time of making the sound or hearing the sound, this seen or unseen guardian will," uh, I think he said, "operate on your mouth."

Conversation continues, "here's how it happened to Dennis..." One of the group asks, "Insect anthropologist studying the Human race." Yes. And I think he said, "it's about 12 to 15 feet tall."

40:45 - Terence, paraphrased. People who have never taken hallucinogenic drugs view it something like dreaming while you're awake with geometrics and vivid colors. No. Forget the colors. The true psychedelic experiences - "at effective doses" are "visionary scenarios, 3 dimensional unfoldments of information that is extraordinarily complex...." 

A sky full of UFOs won't accomplish what penetration of the consciousness can. And a superior or higher level being would be quite capable of engaging us through our various 'intoxications'.

Overview: Psilocybin is a voice, animate, not a drug - something disguising itself as a drug - so as not to spread alarm. If we are being penetrated by a non-human intelligence - this would be the perfect disguise to study our social psychology.

I travel in my dreams and sometimes I am able to connect it to an event or a person. One dream was hard to forget because it caught me off guard. It was the last dream of the night and shortly before I left for work. (Traffic Reporter)

I was standing on the road beside a white truck at the scene of an accident. Medics were carrying two stretchers. A woman beside me said it was okay because she had teenagers and could help. I got to work that morning and the accident was still active. 4 teenagers.
