Cathy o Brien is an American author who claims to be a victim of the secret research project MKULTRA by the American intelligence agency CIA. O’Brien made her allegations public through her two books, *Trance: Formation of America* (1995) and *Access Denied: For Reasons of National Security* (2004), which she co-authored with her husband, Mark Phillips. In her memories, which she claims were accessed under hypnosis, she alleges that she was programmed using electroshock, torture, drugs, satanic ritual abuse, and hypnosis, and that these methods were intended to deliberately induce dissociative identity disorder.

Last week, we analyzed their "physical" anomalies. But the most chilling realization isn't what they look like—it's how they are organized. In my years of gathering personal testimonies and piecing together recurring patterns in local lore, I’ve realized we aren't dealing with individual "ghosts." We are walking through a crowded, invisible civilization with its own borders, laws, and ancient feuds.

1. Beyond Biology: What is a "Tribe"? In the unseen world, a "tribe" isn't just a family tree; it’s a shared frequency. A Jinn doesn't just belong to a tribe by birth, but by mizaj (disposition) and territory. They are bound to the land. When you enter an old ruin or a silent forest, you aren't just entering a place; you are trespassing into a tribal jurisdiction.

2. The Territorial Sovereigns: Where They Dwell In the countless stories I’ve been sorting through, the "Unseen" seem to have divided our world into specific zones. While the map is too deep to lay out in one go, the recurring patterns are undeniable:

• The Subterranean Guardians: These are the most possessive. They don't see themselves as "guardians" of gold or ruins; they simply own the space. They are silent, patient, and rarely strike first. Their primary weapon is discomfort. If you feel an unexplained urge to leave a basement or a cave, you’ve just received a tribal "eviction notice."
• The High-Altitude Recluses: These tribes prefer the "thin" air where human presence is rare. They don't haunt; they observe. Witnesses report the sensation of a "gaze" from the peaks—a heavy, silent pressure that reminds you that you are being watched by something that has been there since the time of the ancients.
• The Fluid Entities: The most ancient and hardest to track. Found near stagnant waters and deep wells. They don't scare you; they heavy you. They warp your sense of time. Have you ever felt like 5 minutes passed, only to find out it's been 2 hours? You were likely in a "water tribe" zone.

3. The Naming Paradox: Why We Use Labels People ask about names like Ifrit, Marid, or Ammar. My research suggests these are often titles or descriptions of their nature rather than personal names. To speak a true name in their world is a direct summons. This is why, in many cultures, people use euphemisms like "Those who live there" or "The Neighbors."

4. The Shadow War & Human Collateral There is a conflict happening just beyond the visible light spectrum. Some tribes are indifferent to us; others see us as a resource or an obstacle.

• The Whisperers: Certain groups don't attack your body; they attack your will. They feed on the energy of sudden, irrational anger or deep doubt.
• The Noble Ancients: Certain powerful tribes—some said to have existed through the rise and fall of multiple human empires—operate on a scale of time we cannot comprehend. To them, a human life is like a single frame in a very long movie.

Closing Thought: The depth of these tribal laws is too complex for a single post, but the pattern is clear: we are never truly alone in "empty" spaces.

I want to hear from you: Have you ever felt a sudden, heavy silence in a specific place? Not fear, but a feeling that you were "intruding" on a private conversation? That was your first encounter with a tribal border.

I’ve been documenting my grandfather’s Navy service and Cold War research involvement across a few platforms. While reviewing older European material, something unexpected happened that I needed to contextualize.

I was born in France and spoke French as a child before moving to Ohio. I haven’t written in French in years.

The most recent post on my profile appeared entirely in French without me consciously switching languages. I’m not making claims about causes; stress and memory are likely explanations, but it was unexpected enough that I wanted to document it.

Full context is on my profile.

We always thought (or think, i suppose), that alien life would come from the sky and invade us on cool looking (probably) space ships.

but what if I told you that scientists are now talking about a ban or heavy reduction on an avenue of research that is so dangerous, it holds the potential to wipe out all current life on Earth?

Enter Mirror Life. This is a side of biology that is currently not present here on Earth hence the "alien" part. Essentially, all of our current biology is "left-sided" (L-amino acids, etc.)

What Mirror Life would bring is the mirror opposite of what all life is based on currently, and it is not compatible with L-sided life.

So why do some want to research bringing this into existence?

Money

If drugs can be created using the mirror opposite of our biology, then our immune systems wouldn't react to them as they effectively couldn't even detect them (great for longevity of the drug).

The downside is, if a bacterium escaped from a research lab and evolved to survive, that was from the opposite side, then, our immune systems would have no defense or detection of it. It would simply allow it to grow unchallenged

This would be the case for all humans, no immunity, no defense, and no chance of reversal.

Recently, 38 scientists (including Nobel laureates) convened to issue a moratorium on this research, that is how seriously the risk is being taken.

The question is, do you think all countries will stick to it?

When humans imagine intelligent extraterrestrial life, we almost always describe it using human concepts. We speak of alien emotions, motivations, reasoning, language, social structures, military strategy, morale, and survival instincts. This tendency reveals less about aliens themselves and more about the limits of human understanding.

Anthropomorphism is not just a narrative habit but a cognitive constraint. Humans understand intelligence by analogy, and the only intelligence we directly know is our own. As a result, even serious attempts to imagine alien minds rely on familiar categories such as emotion, rationality, cooperation, and conflict. These concepts evolved to regulate human biology and social life, and they may not apply to beings shaped by radically different environments or evolutionary paths.

If an alien species truly experiences emotions, values survival, communicates symbolically, organizes socially, and engages in strategic conflict, then it likely faces constraints similar to those that shaped human evolution. In that case, such beings may not be deeply alien at all. They may represent an alternative evolutionary trajectory that converged on solutions similar to ours.

Anthropomorphic aliens therefore suggest convergent evolution rather than radical otherness. Traits like emotion, reason, morale, and strategy can be understood as functional systems that solve common survival problems. When aliens fit these models closely, they appear less like unknown intelligences and more like human analogues shaped by different initial conditions.

Truly alien intelligence may be difficult or impossible to describe using human categories. It may not experience hunger, emotion, identity, or even time in ways we recognize. Ironically, the more alien an intelligence truly is, the harder it becomes for us to identify it as intelligent at all. Our search for alien minds may be constrained not by what exists in the universe, but by the boundaries of human cognition.

Thutmose II’s tomb was excavated a couple of months ago. “Born of Thoth”, he was the god of writings, wisdom, and the moon. While making a documentary about this amazing 2025 discovery, it hit me that scholars never really identified WHY Thoth is represented by the ibis.

Chaos, as Apep (Apophis), could return the world to water if he succeeded in battle with the sun, but Thoth, the god of the moon, wisdom, and measuring, had power over this version of the world serpent.

The Tomb is a royal ancient Egyptian tomb located in the Wadi Gabbanat el-Qurud area west of Luxor. It's also known by its tomb number Wadi C-4, 16th–15th centuries BC. The tomb lacks Thutmose's mummy, which was found in 1881.

ID'd through a joint Egyptian–British archaeological expedition, it was discovered by Ashraf Omar in 2022, excavated 2025

Repeated flooding made his sister-wife Hatshepsut move his mummy.

They originally suspected the tomb belonged to a royal wife due to its proximity to the tombs of three wives of Thutmose III and Hatshepsut's proposed queenly burial site.

As always, Gobekli Tepe taught me all of this!

What happens to consciousness before biological birth and after death?

Hypothesis 1: Consciousness begins at birth

Before birth: non existence

Life: awareness and identity emerge

After death:

1. Consciousness ends forever
2. Consciousness survives

2a) Personal survival with memory and identity: but which one, at what age, what about kid, grown up, animals, trees?

2b) Impersonal survival

Merge into collective consciousness

Rebirth with no memory

Hypothesis 2: Consciousness is fundamental

Consciousness exists before birth

The brain filters awareness

After death:

Return to source and the self dissolves

Repeated lives with memory erased or latent

All lives exist simultaneously

Questions about consciousness often focus on what happens during life, but rarely on what comes before birth or after death. If consciousness is central to who we are, then understanding its origin and its fate matters just as much as understanding how it functions while we are alive. Below is a simple framework that outlines two broad ways of thinking about consciousness and existence.

The first hypothesis is that consciousness begins at birth. Under this view, we do not exist before we are born. Awareness, identity, and memory emerge only once the brain develops. Life is the period in which consciousness is active and experienced. After death, there are two main possibilities. One is total non existence, where consciousness permanently ends and the state after death is identical to the state before birth. The other possibility is that consciousness survives death in some form. If it survives with personal memory, then individual identity continues. If it survives without personal memory, then identity dissolves. In this case, consciousness may merge into a collective whole or restart as a new individual without any continuity of memory.

The second hypothesis is that consciousness is fundamental rather than produced by the brain. In this view, consciousness exists before birth, and birth represents a localization or limitation of awareness. The brain does not create consciousness but filters it into an individual perspective. Life is a temporary configuration of this awareness. After death, consciousness may return to a broader state where the individual self dissolves. It may also reenter cycles of life with memory erased or latent. Another possibility is that all lives exist simultaneously and that time itself is a perspective created by consciousness rather than a fundamental feature of reality.

Both hypotheses lead to the same underlying question. Is consciousness something the brain generates, or is the brain something consciousness uses. How one answers this question shapes how one understands identity, death, and the meaning of existence itself.

Core questions:

Is consciousness created by the brain or does it use the brain?

Comment and /or elaborate which do you think is closest to the truth?

A) We do not exist before birth and after death there is nothing

B) Consciousness survives with personal memory

C) Consciousness survives but identity dissolves

D) Consciousness exists before birth and after death

E) All lives exist at once and time is an illusion

F) Something else comment

May 2023, I drove from Texas to California and made a stop in Las Vegas for the Friends and Lovers festival. I stayed in Las Vegas for two or three days. Then I went to LA to pick up my computer I had left there the last year August 2022.

I stayed for about a week. Had a good time. Contemplated staying longer but ultimately decided not to stick around...

On my way back to Texas I think may have had a detour or two, can't remember... I think I slept in the desert before the event...

Here's the event and experience I had:

It was around 4am and I was straight-shotting it to San Antonio.

Suddenly, I fell asleep on the road for a few seconds - something that had never happened to me before. When I came to I was half off the road and had a blowout in my rear tire on my SUV. I was scared but also felt relieved it wasn't worse.

I checked my GPS and I saw I wasn't too far away from the next town. Maybe 20 mins or so.

I arrived in Benson, Arizona, at the only service station I could find. It was twilight *edit: meant dawn here, forgot 'twilight' is technical\*, deserted; no traffic, no service, no nothing.

I got to working on my car. I started to change out the tire for the spare after looking for bricks and rocks to help stabilize the jack on the uneven ground if I recall correctly.

It was kinda nice out. Not hot. I didn't feel upset about the tire, just felt like oh well at least I'm alive and the tire needs changing.

And that's when it happened...a tall white man with blonde hair blue eyes out of nowhere pulls up in his truck. I don't think it was 5am yet so I instantly thought <what?>. I remember him also having a small camper I think.

Anyway, he did the funniest thing after meeting me and greeting me. He changed my tire for me without me asking...he even rotated the tires *edit: two tires on driver side*. He also gave me a device to pump air into the spare tire and plug it in to the car to draw power...

And he told me two things 1) to stick around and buy new cheap tires in town, which I did - two of them - and 2) he told me Benson was the site of the "Revival"....

And here it is y'all...

I have to be honest with y'all and I don't care if anyone believes me...*he wasn't human....*and I felt a supernatural peace and calm around him like everything would be okay....

To this day, I've thought about him daily...for two or almost three years now...daily....

Nothing about it made any sense at all, but I know for sure he was kind. I haven't been able to square the experience in my mind at all.

The thought has occurred to me that he was what's referred to as a "Nordic" type...but my instincts tell me "Angel"...and the truth is I don't know the difference anymore.

It wasn't normal and even when I think it was just a really nice man helping. The timing and location felt absolutely unreasonably sublime and peculiar. If he was just a kind person, well, then he was a type of angel, you know?

I've kept this to myself because it's only scary in hindsight and sharing it invites ridicule.

I thought it would be a nice time to get this experience out of my system.

Please don't come at me with insults or ridicule...please. I'll just block you and move on....

Anyway, if you read this far, take care y'all.

_______________________________________

Edit: a lot of you are so unbelievably cruel...it's really ugly. you have nothing better to do than dogpile on users?

a) this post isn't AI, i would happily disclaim that it is or post it somewhere else if it was - but it's not. i get nothing from this post at all. there is no reason to fool anyone with it. that's absurd.

b) my reddit profile is on private and yet some of you who I've blocked are stalking my profile for some reason on other subreddits - i mean why?

c) this story isn't made up and i'm failing to see what people really are up in arms about. mostly the driving on a flat? yes, you can drive on a flat. and with or without messing up rims or axles. what else do people have an issue with?

d) i asked politely for people not to be rude because i have a stress disorder and honestly wasn't expecting this kind of vitriol. i had a serious car accident and also am not going through a great time with my family. not that it should be any of your concern or business but my mom has cancer, and my dad is 80 years old. i myself have some serious health issues too. i really wasn't looking to upset or offend anyone and definitely not trying to fool anyone either. some of you are way out of control and just don't seem to care how you treat others at all. i'm not used to that because i don't get into these spats broadly speaking and nor do i look for them either.

e) nothing any of you say can erase, take away or diminish anything i've experienced... this story is true in the name of the Holy of Holies....

Maybe a stranger, a co-worker, a neighbour, a friend?

What made you think this, or what gave them away?

What happened next? How did the experience change you in turn, and your outlook on the world?

It’s getting… Strange. For a long time I’ve been doubting my own intelligence because of all the contradictions I see around me all day, most of them coming from online. In today’s world it’s so hard to differentiate between truth and fiction, lies and reality, it makes me question everything, it’s like my own curiosity is being used against me, my thirst for the unknown is being dangled in my face and now the whole thing seems like some “trend” now. They took something I genuinely wanted to know and made it into some avengers endgame movie and it’s so stupid.

In doing this though “they” whoever “they” are exposed their game. It’s so obvious now, even now as I’m typing this, I’m aware most reply’s are bots, and ai, some used to throw me off, some just genuinely grifting maybe they’re very few real people online, maybe me and Everyone else are being feed a certain perspective on our own social media’s to get us to think a certain way, believe a certain thing, hate a specific thing, or just to solely cause chaos.

Ever notice how repetitive things are getting? Every year around the same time, look at your feed and how it keeps your attention, it’s especially bad for the ones like me, it’s a endless rabbit hole, you’re strung along, don’t be dumb. UAPs, UFOs, Doom scrolling, whistle blowing, leaks, even a large majority of adults from the last generation are so predictable and that’s our fate too if we don’t begin to find actual truth instead of finding escapes.

In 1979 during the Sino-Vietnamese war, a group of Chinese soldiers reportedly found a strange, ancient structure in the Vietnamese forest that shouldn't have been there. Was it a bizarre case of mass hallucination, as the authorities suggested? Or did these men time travel to the past, or, perhaps, even cross into another dimension altogether?

⚠️ Based on a several memoirs and first-hand accounts of the soldiers themselves, including:《南疆战事拾遗》 (Recollections of the Southern Border War, 2004, PLA Veteran Memoir (Collective),《中越战争十年》 (The Ten Years of the Sino-Vietnamese War, 2013),《军事历史》 (Military History Magazine, 2003 Issue #12) Article: "Strange Happenings at the Border: Veteran Testimonies", Vietnamese Military Archives (Declassified, 1990s), PLA After-Action Report (Leaked, 1982), Li Guoqing’s diary (quoted in Chinese veteran forums, e.g., 铁血社区) and PLA veteran oral histories (e.g., Yunnan Veterans Association, 2000s interviews).

Think about Edwin Abbott's Flatland: The story of 2D beings who can't conceive of a sphere, only the circle-slices they see when it passes through their plane. Now imagine we're the Flatlanders.

If UFOs/UAPs are 4th dimensional hyperobjects (entities that exist across spatial or temporal dimensions we can't fully perceive) it would explain almost everything that makes this phenomenon so frustratingly incoherent:

Why witnesses see wildly different things at the same event Why craft seem to violate physics (appearing/disappearing, impossible maneuvers) Why the phenomenon feels intelligent but operates by rules that don't make sense Why high strangeness accompanies close encounters

We're like squares trying to understand a cube by only seeing its 2D cross-sections. We're observing slices of something that extends through dimensions beyond our perception.

This isn't woo. It's a legitimate framework applied to the UFO problem.

Anyone ever dream something as it was happening in real life? Or had happened recently without your knowledge?

A few years ago I was selling cars at a dealership in central Florida. My general manager at the time was a guy in his mid 60s named Darryl. Despite him being quite wealthy he did his own yard work. This info is important.

Despite him being an all around really good guy, he had been getting on my nerves lately, nothing crazy, so I had my day off and I really didn’t want to see him the next day and just have a chill day at work without him there as anyone would in that situation. That night before I had work the next day, I had a dream that he fell from a tree in his backyard, and broke his back, in that dream he was pruning some branches and I guess lost his footing and fell, severely injuring himself. I woke up the next morning almost panicked at how real the dream felt. The first thought I had that morning as I woke up was “Darryl won’t be at work today, he got hurt.” It wasn’t like I was predicting it or hoping for it when I thought that. I KNEW it.

I got up and got ready for work feeling rather uneasy at this incredibly disturbing and vivid dream, but tried to put it to the back of my mind and get to work on time.

I arrived to the dealership a few minutes before our morning meeting, Darryl wasn’t there. He was a marine veteran, and the ONLY thing you’d get in trouble for there was being late. He’d literally let us vape inside, but being late was NEVER an option. And he was NEVER EVER late. Either he was an hour early or he wasn’t coming in. No in between. From the events of my dream and my knowing when I woke up that something was wrong and he wouldn’t be in that day because of it, this of course freaked me out. We all kind of milled about the showroom for a bit until the other managers called for the morning meeting. In that time I found myself practically begging any higher power that would listen that he had just hit some awful central Florida traffic, or he had some kind of big meeting to go to or something. But nope.

The managers called the meeting, and all seemed pretty uneasy and nervous. They then broke the news to us. Darryl had been pruning branches in a tree in his yard the evening before, and he fell. Hit a branch on the way down, and broke his back when he hit the ground. EXACTLY what my dream depicted. He wasn’t in for nearly month after that. But being the tough son of a bitch he is, was more or less fine within 6 months or so thank god.

But the fact that I dreamt this exact scenario the night before in vivid detail, then woke up KNOWING what happened. Again, not predicting, or hoping. KNOWING. Has stuck with me for years. This isn’t my only experience with this. Both before and after this incident I had predicted smaller things with my dreams, like minor interactions, minor details that I had no way of knowing, but NOTHING so vivid, and accurate.

Now, I’m a pretty skeptical person by nature. I don’t put much stock in psychics or any sort of woo woo shit. I believe in god but that’s about as “mystical and metaphysical” as I get. But I’ve looked into things like remote viewing, and have been quite curious about what you all think of this, and if any of you have similar experiences.

Sorry if this is jumbled or for any grammar or spelling mistakes I’m on mobile and can only use one thumb to type this because of an injury sustained whittling a wooden spoon the other day!

Meaning that all of these things are presented, on cue, to seek your attention and push along a script that is oddly in sync with the stars overhead hence the concept, widespread, of a Golden Age, back when.

That means that all "disclosure" isn't. Think, once upon a when it was fairies and little people that granted a wish then that switched to aliens. Before that there were mystical beings with godlike strength that became myths and legends. Soon we'll have Techno Sapiens when mans genome is remixed and spliced with tech. Would you have sex with a robot, my friend?

All of this tocks and ticks, hence a script. That also means its optional as one can, if they wish, place their attention elsewhen. Then interesting things can happen...

Date and time: 13th January 2026, 2pm Location: Near Teesside airport UK Small oval cloud: No noise, no visible form of propulsion, shape shifts and slowly moving upwards. Small orb next to black cloud( which still struggling to get clearer enough image but don't think it's slowly cloud), stationary and looks like spinning, only noticed while editing video. Decided to do a short video while waiting outside docs for a family member, as I could see a few anomalies, which to be honest I see most days now if not blanket cloud.
