Hello dear esoteric community,
I have a question for you.
Do you think there are boundaries when it comes to esotericism, and if so, where do you draw them?
To give you some insight into my perspective, I’d like to share part of my story.
About three years ago, my father died of cancer. Around a year before his diagnosis, my mother reached out to a woman. Let’s call this woman Vicky. Vicky “sensed” that he shouldn’t fight the cancer with conventional medicine. Instead, he should place certain stones in the living room and recite certain numbers—then he would recover.
My mother believed her..
Another similar point:
A week ago, my dog was diagnosed with cancer and metastases. The doctors at the veterinary clinic said it would be best to put him to sleep right away to spare him from suffering.
And what do you think my mother did? That’s right, she took the dog home and called Vicky. She sent her a picture of the dog in advance and then spoke to her on speakerphone in the car.
My mother told Vicky about the diagnosis and mentioned that it was “very likely” cancer cells and that the dog was suffering severely.
Vicky responded, “But the dog looks pretty happy in the picture, and ‘very likely’ doesn’t sound like a definite statement from the doctors. Besides, I’d be surprised because dogs don’t eat anymore when they have cancer.”
I was sitting in the backseat during this conversation and was just like 😐… but internally like 🤬.
I then intervened after Vicky denied the cancer three times, insisting that the dog should live and that they could at least give him a few nice days.
My mother defended Vicky, saying it was “our fault and that we didn’t explain things properly to Vicky.”
That evening, I had to listen to my mother telling me to bring peace to the situation.
The result? My dog was put to sleep the next day. I miss my dog terribly, and it breaks my heart to see the kind of influence Vicky has on our family
When it comes to traumatic circumstances, relationships and experiences in general…
There is a very real essence that remains within those involved, even after the physical manifestations of these occurrences have passed. Traumatic experiences have a way of leaving a kind of “imprint” on our spiritual and psychological nature…
Although the physical situation is no longer present in our lives, we still embody the energies, complexes and internal conditions that were acquired through these traumatic experiences… which of course applies to past and present incarnations.
This is one of those concepts that may seem “obvious” to some… but there is a big difference between hearing this concept once and truly coming to comprehend the “actuality” of it.
The internal conditions that we acquire through these traumatic experiences, whether it be depression, anxiety, self-doubt or fear of all kinds… No matter what it might be, it exists at the spiritual and psychological level as an entity which inhabits us…
One which was brought into existence, by us, during this traumatic event or period… We create them unknowingly with intentions, emotions and “mind power” … and to a degree this is unavoidable, it is just how we function.
In order to “move forward” from these lingering conditions in a healthy and beneficial manner, we must address them on an internal basis (spiritual and psychological).
For one to heal these “damaged” parts of themselves, they must make a dedicated effort towards understanding these conditions on a more intimate level… But the very first step in this process is acknowledging that these aspects of ourselves exist in the first place, from this point growth can truly begin.
Two of our greatest tools which will aid us in overcoming and transmuting these conditions, are self-observation and self-reflection… One should regularly observe their own behavior as if from an outside perspective, when alone and when interacting with others.
Being self-observant of how we interact with those around us can shed much light on how these internal conditions are manifesting through us in our daily lives… All too often have I seen people treat others terribly due to their own inner darkness (Depression, self-hatred, self-doubt etc.) and not even notice it…
Also have I seen people let others treat them terribly for the same reasons, not realizing that this kind of behavior is stemming from one of these internal conditions… but as we become more self-observant, we start to “catch ourselves in the act” so to speak.
It is also important to be aware of the thoughts coming into our heads at any given time, as well as to be aware of what is taking place within our physical surroundings… all the while keeping watch to see if any of these factors are acting as a trigger for these “negative” internal conditions.
Often times, an individual might all the sudden find themselves “overcome” by this internal darkness and have not the slightest idea why… Self-observation helps us become more vigilant of when thoughts or external influences could be triggering these different internal conditions.
Upon identifying a trigger, it is important not to simply eliminate it… but to first intimately ponder why this factor was a trigger in the first place, even beyond the obvious reasons. Simply removing or eliminating the factors which bring our inner darkness to the surface, only pushes us farther from understanding and healing it.
There are different levels of self-reflection as it pertains to overcoming these trauma based internal conditions… Firstly, a daily self-reflection upon the events of the day, internal and external… such as thoughts that crossed your mind, interactions you had with others, activities you participated in.
When reflecting upon these things ask yourself if any of your behavior that day might have been reflective of these internal conditions.
The next level of self-reflection would be to think back to the actual physical circumstances which resulted in these conditions, whether it be a traumatic relationship, situation, series of events or any other factor…
Bring these memories to the surface, while in a reflective state of mind, so you may ponder how these conditions gradually developed throughout the course of whatever the traumatic circumstance was…
Imagine who you were prior to these experiences, how have you changed? What about your behavior is different since these conditions became active? Retrace the steps which resulted in resulted this darkness, no matter how hard it might be…
Remember to always show compassion to this inner darkness, it is not an “enemy” by any means… it is a part of our very essence and by putting in the effort to heal these conditions, we liberate the attached entity… in turn liberating that part of ourselves. Transmutation at its finest…
Much Love

Imagine for a moment that there was an individual who was born without any senses to perceive and interpret the world around them, other than to feel…
No means of mutual communication or Acknowledgement, In fact not even aware that there are other External Factors Present and responsible for Enacting their Effects ,and Serving their various Functions…
No Visual or Auditory Input… No Taste, no Smell… No Control of Movement… Nothing other than an Ability to Feel and Embody, in a general Sense, the effects of their Immediate Environment, upon their physical, Emotional and Psychological bodies…
Simply Ignorant of the Entire World, in all its Beauty and Varying Experiences… though Innocently enough, you might say… for this is all they had ever Known.
It would be as if one was aimlessly existing within an endless sea of Influences, Intelligent lifeforms and non-stop obstacles, which they were entirely oblivious to… even while in the Midst of being Actively Manipulated, Hindered and Possessed by them.
Some External Factors There to help the individual along their path, sympathetic to their vulnerability and aiming to be Responsible for their safety to one degree of the Other… but on the other hand, many which are present simply to take advantage of this Unfortunate being…, thriving off of their lack of perception and seeking to use and manipulate them for personal agendas.
After a while, the Individual would simply assume the daily unfoldment of this Confusing, Paradoxical Existence, as “Their Own”... adopting this as their Identity, with no means of, or Interest towards further investigation.
This may seem like a rather ridiculous Scenario to imagine… Although, this analogy is sadly, but Indeed right on the Money when speaking of the Modern Individual… and their General Awareness of and Active Participation with, the Omnipresent Flow of Meta-Physical/ Spiritual/Psychological Influences, which are the Underlying Cause, and Animating Force behind near the Entirety of their daily Behavioral Patterns (Tendencies, Personality, Demeanor etc).
After so many generations of man having the Knowledge of such Fundamental Phenomena, literally bred (Genetically) out of its Immediate Awareness, Perception and Capability… they no longer possess the extra sensory faculties or spiritual abilities, that Mankind once did long ago…
The only way to Activate and Develop these Dormant Faculties in a Healthy manner, is through a Genuine Dedication to Oneself in all their many Aspects, along with the Integration of this Knowledge into our Daily Lives, Behavior, Perspective and Decision Making.
The first essential step for anyone delving into the occult, is acknowledging the many Unseen, Quantum, Preexisting, planes of Reality which Surround, Incarnate and Animate our daily Experience… both Internally and Externally.
With that, I leave you with a poem that I wrote, to go along with this All- to- Present Concept…
There Once was a Man, Born of the Sea...
Though, Clueless of the Tides, as they Pull Him Ever Deep...
Believes not In Water... "Just Tales for the Kids"...
So Why even bother? he says to the Fish
He Knows not their Waves... He Knows Not their Flow...
Dashes through days, at no Rate of His Own…
Captive and Caged, in this World he was thrown…
He passes the Time, til his Time Passes On…

Hi, can you offer advise on this psychotechnology?
The past 7 years I've been passivly awakening to oneness. Zen has been the prominent ideology, Eckhart Tolle the guiding light, though many influences are present, such as CSL's Science of the Mind, ecology, herbalism, cognitive science, spirtuality and shamanism. For more context, this practice used to be called nuclear shamanism, now its feeling like esoteric zen. These are only words, please accept the amalgamation as it is as precise as I can write at the moment.
Recently I've been not getting great sleep, this is my current bottleneck. In response, a set of psychotoechnologies and practices such as sleep yoga, science based sleep suggestions, and meditating to sleep have been emerging. The latter being the most relavant and recent.
Can you offer any suggestions?
The last 2 attempts: I accidentally astral traveled and interacted with my dorm, then drifted to sleep. This night it seemed like a liminal state. There was helping spirit energy and thoughts. As the transition was climaxing it got very intense and the thought "take me with you" emerged. Then it de-escalated and I am still awake.
The practice involves laying in corpse pose, feeling subtle energy in hands and feet, this serves as the anchor. This energy spreads all over the body while simultaneously relaxing anything thats tense. Lucid dream techniques are used, keeping still everything but the diaphram and the occasional swallow or eye movement. There is an emphasis on allowing and going with it. If thoughts get excessive, The koan "when you can do nothing, what can you do?" Is used, followed by the mantra "I am dreaming" during a lucid transition peak.
Thank you so much 🙏
Getting back into energy manipulation and biofield perception and I've been trying to find daily practices or keeping that strong. But it is just energy. So either way, any form of practice that involves energy to help keep that connection strong would be very much appreciated!
Those familiar with my work, will often see me lay out and describe different concepts and modern perspectives… which are both tools for, and the product of the Intentional suppression of knowledge, as well as psychological programming of different kinds.
The concept that I would like to describe today, is that of “Heavens gates” and “Judgement” or essentially, Obedience… being what stands between man and the Divine/Salvation… but obedience to what? To God? I think not…
This particular swindle ties deeply into one of the most successful and long-lasting deceptive tactics ever Implemented… you might generalize this as “the takeover of the church”, or more specifically of Christianity.
Long ago, prior to certain historical factors such as, but not limited to… “The consul of Nicaea”, “Emperor Constantine”, “Emperor Charlemagne” and much more… the essence of Christianity was much different than we know it today…
There were many different branches with different practices and beliefs, somewhat like there is in our modern world… except the main difference was that many of said branches openly taught and practiced, concepts that we know today as “Esoteric Knowledge” … Which back then were common understandings amongst these branches of Christianity and were not yet twisted and or hidden under layers of symbolism.
Such as in Gnostic Christianity… where it was openly taught that man’s connection to the Divine was within himself… not to be found in any form of external worship… Through a series of inner Gnostic Revelations could man find his Salvation, Enlightenment, Forgiveness etc. Thus, holding true to “Uncorrupted” Divine Knowledge of man’s connection to the Universe.
However, through the unfoldment of historical factors such as those previously stated (Nicaea, Charlemagne, Constantine etc.), this Divine Knowledge became one of the absolute most dangerous things to possess…and especially dangerous to openly preach, speak of or teach…
There soon came a point, where certain factors decided that essentially, they would use the name of Christianity/God as a means of seizing absolute control of their part of the world and beyond, in order to serve their own personal agenda…
but seeing as at that time there were many branches of Christianity which contained very pure and true Divine Knowledge… It became necessary for these factors to abolish these pure sects of Christianity and establish a “One True Belief system” of which all Christendom was to obey without question… by “gods”, aka The Churches Order… the alternative to obedience, was to be killed or punished… also by “Gods” aka The Churches order.
They assumed the position of mans mediator to the Divine… and as time passed… this became “Just the way it was”, “The churches word was god, and any man who questioned this was a heretic.”
With that said, Punish and kill they did… in mass numbers… Men, Women, Children… Possessors of Divine Knowledge, those who refused to conform to tyranny… all “In the name of Christ/god” … A grand justification for a highly significant step towards the spiritually deprived world that we know today…
Alongside the previously stated mass murder was also the mass destruction of Esoteric Knowledge… Book burnings, homes raided in search of Esoteric Literature and of course the dismantling of many belief systems such as the Gnostics…
Those who remained un-exterminated, soon went “underground” and formed secret schools of thought and Esoteric Knowledge, in order to avoid confrontation and death. Many of the mystery schools formed during this chaos, we still know very well today.
Through this string of deception and horror, those behind it, pulling the strings… were able to establish a “Uniform Christian Doctrine” for all of Christendom (all sects of Christianity) to obey… again, without question… or face punishment and or death.
In other words… they, with blatant and hostile disregard for everything representing mutually beneficial co-existence… forced upon their part of the world and beyond, a religious belief system, which was designed and fashioned with strategic, deceptive precision… specifically to serve their own diabolical plan, and to enslave the minds, bodies and souls of those whom it was being forced upon…
A belief system crafted by these incredibly deceptive factors, and based directly off of their own agenda… their own moral compass which they would instill within the followers, but not adhere to themselves… their own Interpretation of existing Divine knowledge (The butchering/Twisting of it)… their own opinions of “Right and Wrong”, “Just and Unjust”… and perhaps most importantly for this article, their own opinion of what was “Godly/Worthy of salvation” and what was “Of the Devil/Evil-Wrong- unholy”…
The parameters of this faith established entirely by these deceptive factors but enforced through and with the name of “Christ/God”, to serve as their justification for forcing with violence, this system of belief upon innumerable non-consenting Individuals and communities.
It was a bold move indeed, for this very select group of Influential and more than often “Genetically Privileged” Individuals, to fabricate and ruthlessly enforce this ill-intended set of morals and “religious values” upon their people… and then to, over time and generations, firmly solidify within people’s minds, that their acceptance into “heaven”/ The Divine was based off of this extremely biased system of belief, or should I say obedience… but I suppose as the saying goes, “Fortune Favors the Bold”.
“Heavens gates” are no more than a deceptive and strategically implemented Mental Construct… but anyone who is familiar with the concept of “Mentalism” (All is Mind), knows that this does not make them “ineffective” per say…
for if one truly believes something to be the case, they will begin to manifest like conditions within their physical, mental and spiritual nature that will reflect this… as we create our own reality, especially when it’s the combined Intent of many people on a collective scale… and this will indeed hinder an Individual if they are unaware that it is THEM who holds the key, Not the church or any External Being/Deity.
Let us tear down “heavens gates” my friends… for we were fooled into constructing them against our own best Interest… ALL is within… the only thing that stands between us and The Divine… is us… right up until we realize that we are very literally Co-Creators of this Experience and seize back our Divine Birth Right to Sovereignty.
Much Love

A Simple, yet Endlessly Powerful Invocation of an Individual's Higher Nature and Co-Creative Power… a STATEMENT of one's Divine Sovereignty.
It can be used as an Invocation at any and all times, to bring oneself into that “Higher Self- Awareness” state of mind, that we can easily lose touch with (Both Circumstantially and for extended periods) while wrapped up in the chaotic flow of life.
It can also be applied before, during or after any Ritual or Manifestation work… as it is an Active Intention towards utilizing one's ability to shape the Reality that they Perceive.
FOOLED NO MORE
Fooled no more., I AM Present from here on
-This mInd is on the Mend., from Ignorance Withdrawn.
-Fooled no more, a presence deep Within…
-A door that once was closed… though, by my own Consent… Therefore with this Great Acknowledgement, no longer Will I lend.
-Standing for my Sovereignty, to Death I WILL Defend!

Greetings redditors,
I'm Alex, I wanted to share few thoughts about search for a teacher. To begin with, I have a good news and bad news:
Bad - esoteristic market has become one of the greatest scam markets. Most 'experts' are trying to take moeny without any guarantee. In other words, if something didn't work - it's your problem, not talented enough etc. Other masters may say you need a lot of rituals, knowledge, etc. Yes, money is a huge thing in magical practices. Money is the greatest accelerator of your life: broke something - there you go, you can fix it. Need an expert with law - there you go, choose the best one. That's not exaclty the topic of the post but I want you to pay attention what those masters say about money
Good - if you find a good teacher. He will help you to better understand the world and form a purpose-driven framework. If you do good things, feel better everyday, and help people - there you go, your life is getting better. As I say, we need to have 4 major components. Health, Wealth, Happiness and joy.
Even today, I'm keep learning and trying to do my best when I work with my clients about their spiritual blocks. So, it is continious process where you apply you knowledge, help people, then teach people.
This balances things perfectly and it is supported in the Bible by daniel.tribulation is a 2 periods thing it may be 7 year tribulation 7 month vrsk amd signs 7 year great tribulation as well.by observing God's stars amd the seasons not doing astrology Uranus tells us where we are in the story for 7 years it stayed under the ram,traingle,fish,flying horse,so on at tye start of these 7 years I saw the clouds for distinct hand open up into a round womdow by those hands woth giant people joyous up there,a face formed amd closed it off I was given a message.But we have gone through eother a 7 year trial so he knows what to mark people as or we have been through 7 years of a tribulation out of 14 total divided in to with a break.we are in that break of 7 months now I believe this might be the time the seals are broken one a month,then we enter the 7 year great tribulation starting in June according to the seasons in the stars.uranus will remain in the bull for 7 years.i see this as a perfect counter balance to 666 as it makes 777.we need to prepare for what is coming.the past 7 years were nothing 3.5 good years very peaceful for our time then 3.5 years of economic turmoil and war stating the world went through this not just USA.i don't know everything but possibly in this 7 month break it gives us tome to repent amd come to God.
Finding a real esoteric spiritual teacher
On the Path of Awakening, we must necessarily look into the face of and Experience first-hand, a confrontation with "The Absolute worst" within ourselves, before we can ever even come close to consistently embodying that which is our "Best" or Truest Potential...
Otherwise, One takes the Risk of being caught off guard and "pulled under" by some shadow aspect of their own Internal Nature...
For when a darkness exists within us on a Deep, Fundamental Level... as it does within All, both Individually and Collectively (Whether we are conscious of this or not)..., then it will Indeed eventually work its way to the surface in one way or the other, and make a scene... via Circumstances, Relationships, Interactions and Our Behavior/Perspective towards the World Around us.
Never is the suppression or Neglecting of these "Darker" Aspects of our Internal Nature a solution to this wide range of shadow-based phenomena, but rather it is a Direct Path to being Inevitably consumed and overcome by these very same Entities...
Fear not this Darkness within... meet it not with hostility and guilt. but instead with Patience and Compassion, for it is in every sense "A part of our very own being" and was brought forth into Existence by and through an accumulation of our Individual and Collective Experiences.
Be not Ashamed of the Tendencies, Habits, Addictions and Impulses, which manifest as a result of this "Shadow-Self"... but Instead, simply Observe them and their reflected Behavior and Circumstances within our Everday lives... so we may see more clearly "how and why" these came about...
One should even, with sufficient precaution, Explore this Darkness... but ALWAYS with the Active Intentions of better understanding these Internal Factors, so that we can begin Integrating and Transmuting their essence Into Growth and Development.
We must never fail to Remember that this Shadow Nature and its many Archetypal forms, are The very fuel that feeds our Eternal Flame, and the Raw Materials from which we WILL Forge our Alchemical Stone...

I've come to the realization been given knowledge to share.7 years ago I saw hands form in the clouds then open into a round window woth giant people up there esrly 1900 outfit joyous.a face closed it off.i was given a message.the night before this I saw the locust from revelation.i did not know the Bible or revelations at this time.i do know amd have known God amd Jesus my whole life it's alot more than reading the words amd going to church every Sunday.but we saw 3.5 years of the most peace we have known in this world and let's not get political but under trump time now we have had 3.5 years of economic turmoil and such as described.uranus is our pointer in the sky as to what season it is God put them there for us to read the story unfolding amd happening not to do astrology let me make that clear.for 7 years Uranus stayed under the ram triangle pieces peguses amd a couple other constellations this symbolized to me a controlled time of conflict.now Uranus is on its way to tye bull which just think how a bull is natured and how we see them,Uranus stays in the bull for 7 years starting June.in spring of next year there will be 2 planets in line on dark side of earth amd 6 planets in line on light this represents the 1/3 of angels against God's 2/3 of faithful angels.so we all need to prepare spiritually, and practically for our needs and others of you can.also remember all this can be done very cunning the anti Christ may never show his face to the world,this is alot about if we choose to be of this world or not.we are allowed to read the heavens Gid placed the stars there for us to read the seasons.

Hey guys, I was just curious what people do for the supermoon! Seeing if there's anything I can add to my practice!
Blessings✨ happy casting!
This is going to be a long one, but please bear me while I care to explain my proposal and it's relevance for the community. It is in my opinion, a potential for breakthroughs!
In anime there is a genre "isekai" loosely defined as traveling into another world. It is either when the protagonist dies and gets reincarnated/reborn as someone else in another world, or the protagonist dies and gets teleported as himself into another world, or gets teleported into another world outright via some magical force.
Is such a thing possible? Would it be possible, at least theoretically, to remove oneself from this world and teleport into another world somehow, using some magical, esoteric or spiritual techniques? While this might seem as fantasy or mere wishful thinking, I have some clues and tidbits of information about how such an ability might work in practice.
First of all we have r/AstralProjection. Some astral projectors have used this ability to travel to other planets, or travel backwards and forwards in time in the astral form. This power enables one to travel to other worlds and other timelines. So as long as you're in the astral plane, no spaceship or time machine is required to traverse along the spacetime. I wonder if it's possible to, when astral projecting, take the physical body with you as well to teleport yourself into another world permanently?
In addition to r/AstralProjection, people have also used r/LucidDreaming to enter into other worlds, such as the somewhat well known r/TheMallWorld, as well as seeing into otherworldly places. However I am relatively unexperienced in this, and can only tell via the accounts of others.
I want to explore that thought, that lucid dreaming or that dreaming in general could be used as a key to teleporting into another worlds or timelines. Some dreams can be very realistic to the point that they look just like reality. There have been multiple stories over the years of people having dreams lasting for entire months or even years. There have been people who have lived out entire lifetimes in a dream. Can you imagine, what would it be like to live an entire life in a dream? Some people have lived day after day, not knowing that it was a dream, and then they died, and they awoke only to find out that their entire "lifetime" was dreamt in the course of a single night!
In any case, I believe that everything that happens is real. My interpretation of such stories is somewhat different. Rather than thinking that they merely dreamt an entire lifetime, I would say that their lifetime was real and when they died they ended up going back in time, awaking in the past, thus traveling back in time and creating an alternate timeline. We can read many such accounts in r/AnotherLifeStories. This can be thought of as a phenomenon akin to isekai.
We know of r/QuantumImmortality, of how when people die, time is wound back and circumstances are changed ever so slightly such that they did not in fact die! That person is effectively teleported into a parallel universe or an alternate timeline in which they did not die. Quite frequently such people who had a QI experience are often "Mandella Effected", meaning that they experience many "Mandella Effects", r/Retconned. This is when the circumstances of their reality differ significantly from their own real memories of it. Like, before their "death", the doors on the apartment complex were painted green, however in the "new timeline" all the doors are painted red, with no sign of them being repainted recently. Details, historical events, company logos, even layouts of cities, are significantly changed, which leads us to believe that these people wound up in a parallel universe where things were originally different. When questioned, the person finds out that "things were always like that." So after a QI experience, more things have been changed than just the altered circumstances surrounding the person's death. Sometimes it is very apparent that the person finds himself or herself in another world, for example one in which the Soviet Union never collapsed.
Take the example of when time rewinds during a QI incident, such that the death of the person is averted. I wonder if it's possible to make the time rewind even further, perhaps not just a few seconds, but multiple days, months, or even years? Is it possible to go back in time with your consciousness into an earlier version of yourself, retaining all your memories and knowledge, thus helping you get an advantage in your second round of your life? Is this what happened in the phenomena of people who have lived entire lifetimes in "dreams"?
I wonder it it's possible to weaponize such an effect to teleport oneself into increasingly divergent worlds. For example onto significantly different parallel timelines, in which geopolitics are much much different, rather than just a bunch of company logos. Or even teleporting oneself onto another habitable planet. I don't know if the latter is possible, and certainly if someone would have done it then we would have no way of knowing, but there was one story of a man who was able to teleport himself out of an apocalyptic timeline into our timeline, without having to die in the process.
I have an entire theory about this. I have written a treatise on a possible connection between quantum immortality, reincarnation, and dreaming. In it, I have speculated that what happens to use upon death is the same thing that happens to us when we fall asleep and dream. Upon death we either have a QI experience or we reincarnate. Upon dreaming we get teleported into a "dream world" in which we are occupying for a rather short duration of time. So we can be thought of as having "reincarnated" or "isekai'd" into a dream world. Especially if it's a r/LucidDreaming and you can see, walk, and interact with the dream world just as if it was real life. Well what happens when the line between dream and reality gets blurred? What if your reality is but a dream? Such as with the people who lived entire lifetimes in dreams mentioned above?
I also have knowledge about the r/EscapingPrisonPlanet community. While I don't necessarily subscribe to the prison planet theory, the idea that upon death your memory gets wiped by default, and then you lose all the books that you've read, all the skills that you've gained, is rather frightening! The fact that some people have had r/QuantumImmortality experiences, and other types of reality-shattering experiences, and have lived to tell the tale, means that there is at least a theoretical way of subverting or tricking this "system", if it exists. I wonder if it's possible to avoid the fate of the general population, avoid getting your memory wiped and recycled, and instead retaining all your memories, skills, and knowledge, and either reincarnating or teleporting into another world or a parallel timeline, the phenomenon which is called isekai? Is it possible?
For example, one of the ideas that I've had. According to some people who had r/NearDeathExperience, their life "flashed before their eyes". Meaning that their entire life history was being replayed at/during/or before the moment of death, or just after. I wonder if it's possible to catch the "film strip" and "jump" to an event that happened in your past, thus reliving a part of your life from that moment onward, taking different life choices the next time around? You marry Asuka instead of Anastasia, you become a doctor instead of an IT worker. Then when you die a second time, utilize the same technique to "catch the film strip" and "jump back in time", thus you could theoretically have lived an indefinite amount of timelines as your person. You can have the experience of multiple lifetimes in a single lifetime, thus learning hundreds of skills, and much more knowledge that the average person would be able to attain in a mere single lifetime. Live consecutive lifetimes as an electrical engineer, computer programmer, rocket scientist, martial artist, survivalist, hacker, doctor, wizard, layering the knowledge and experience of the previous lifetime on top, thus becoming extremely overpowered.
Another piece of the puzzle. Some people have had r/timeslip experiences, in which they inadvertently, through no fault of their own, stumbled upon so-called "thin places", certain places where there are portals or holes in reality, and ended up somewhere else, not in this world any more. I have been collecting such stories in r/Missing411Portals. So such portals are often found in the woods, but not only in the woods, as people have stumbled into such portals even in urban areas, in elevators, staircases, inside of buildings, or even some have driven their car into a portal on the road and ended up in another world.
To make a long story short, in the "Project Isekai" I am looking to create an online "think tank" of sorts, or at least bounce ideas off each other. The topics are like, methods of teleporting oneself into another world via some kinds of spiritual, magical, esoteric, psychic, or non-technological techniques. Or for example methods of "immortality" or prolonging one's consciousness beyond physical death via non-technological and non-biological means. Not avoiding death, or not trying to prolong one's physical existence in this world necessarily, but rather using death as a mechanism for jumping into a "dream world" or some other world, or even doing that before death itself. Finding some way of circumventing death, twisting the laws of physics or metaphysics to your benefit, finding a way of "hacking reality". Either jumping into other worlds, or into other timelines, or arbitrarily rewinding your life. Now let us come together and think of some ways that we can implement isekai in reality.
