New Mantis Encounter — August 8, 2026 8/8 portal

This came through during the 8/8 portal.

Last night I had another encounter with my Mantis guide while meditating and listening to binaural beats through a new set of headphones.

At this point, I have a strong sense that this guide is always with me, rather than only appearing during altered states of consciousness or specific encounters. I should also maybe say that I've been developing my psychic abilities over the last few years, and often get visits by other entities with messages for other people or loved ones. I've been working on turning this into a regular thing that I do for people.

In my previous experience with him, he showed me what I interpreted as an ability to manipulate time — essentially expanding and contracting it. I perceived what he showed me as time being stacked on top of each other in connected layers.

That experience seems to connect with something he showed me again last night.

Humans experience time as linear, but my sense is that he does not experience it in the same way. In that framework, he showed me that he is me in the future, while also being able to work through me in the present to help move humanity toward a higher vibration. Because he can move through time in a way that I cannot, there is a sense that my human experience, my Pleiadian aspect (he showed me that I am also a Pleiadian being in a past experience while on Psychedelics), and his experience as a Mantis being are all fractals of one another. He can move through those different points in the fractal to reach me.

I am also female, while I experience a distinctly masculine energy from him. I don't necessarily interpret that as biological gender in the way we understand it. It may be more of a divine masculine quality — active, directed, and associated with forward movement, he is very active in the forward momentum of the universe behind the scenes. My sense is that gender may not function in quite the same way in his dimension.

At one point I asked him what work Mantids are doing within the universe, beyond their interactions with humans and other NHI's.

This time, the communication came through an image rather than the clair-sentient or clair-cognizant impressions I usually experience with him. I saw what I interpreted as scaffolding surrounding galaxies.

The image was interesting to me because it seemed like a particularly effective way to communicate the concept. If the information was about the structure or construction of the universe, showing me an image of scaffolding makes more sense than trying to communicate the idea through words or feelings.

I've also encountered descriptions from other people who have had similar experiences of Mantids being referred to as "architects" of the universe. I don't take that as proof of anything, but the image I received was consistent with that idea and therefore stood out to me.

The energy of the encounter was otherwise consistent with my previous experiences. His energy felt the same — very patient, benevolent, and loving. The overall impression was that he is here to help me, through me and others, to help humanity and the Earth move toward what I believe is a more enlightened and advanced period.

I'm continuing to document these experiences as they happen and trying to distinguish between what I directly experience and the interpretations I make afterward.

Still processing this one. Sending you all good vibes from him.

Here's an image that was similar to what I saw:

The Mantis Being Who Changed Everything

I have had a couple of very amazing Mantis encounters over the last month. I did 5 meo DMT about a month ago and didn’t have any expectations around the experience at all, I certainly didn't have any expectations of seeing what I saw! I went in open and just wanted to let go and see what I was ready to see. I know they will not show you something you are not ready for, and I felt as though I had evolved a lot spiritually since the last time I did any psychedelics which was ten years before.

When my facilitator (human) counted down from ten and I exhaled and lay down on the bed, immediately I became very aware of moving sacred geometric patterns in my field of vision and an altered physical feeling as well. The patterns almost looked like butterfly wings, and in the middle of them there was a portal. I moved through it intuitively and inside there were even more intricate tightly woven spirals of energetic sacred geometry all around me. As above so below, there were just fractals of this energy all over and everything was a reflection of something else, it was amazing.

I became aware of a being with very large oval shaped eyes playing peek-a-boo with me within this brown, golden and green backdrop of sacred geometric patterns. I asked who it was and he emerged from the pattern as this beautiful tall and thin mantis being. He seemed to be wearing a brown robe, but it also blended in to the geometric patterns around it. I had heard about mantis beings in a couple of podcasts and interviews that I had listened to, but I had never encountered one before.

I asked who he was and he showed me through feeling telepathically that he is one of my spirit guides, and he has been working with me for a long time. I felt very familiar with him like I had been talking to him forever, he was part of me, and he had always been there for me. He gave off this loving warm beautiful energy.

I got this sense from him like he was excited to show me something, so I told him telepathically to show me what he wanted to show me and that I trusted him, I was not afraid. He told me to follow him, so I left my body and we floated off of the earth together. I could see him ahead of me and the lights of the Earth below. He took me up to a spaceship, I think it was a mothership of some sort. When we arrived he introduced me to my soul family.

I felt as though I was this puzzle piece that fit perfectly, more perfectly that I had ever felt on Earth before. I felt whole and completely loved and safe, and even though I felt like it had been so long since I had felt that feeling of complete acceptance I also felt like I never left. I was always there, even while in human form.

The entire time I was there the Mantis being was at my right side, and he seemed happy to support me in seeing my family. I realized that I am in a sense living two lives. One of my lives I'm living as a so called "ET" on a spaceship working with humanity as a Pleiadian being, and at the same time I'm living as a human on Earth.

At one point I asked to see source, and my "brother", another guide and Pleiadian being shone what looked like a dental light in my face, and my field of vision became overwhelmed with light.

I began coming down after this happened and couldn't hold the vibration any longer and began to float back down to the Earth. I saw my family and became overwhelmed with love for them and began crying, my heart was bursting with love and gratitude for them, my guides and the experience.

One lesson I took away from this experience was that these beings are a part of us, they work with us inwardly inter-dimensionally, they are not "out there" they are within us. The Mantis being who I encountered is always working with me and I feel connected to him in my heart and soul. Such a beautiful soul he is!

My second experience was just earlier this week. I micro dosed some psilocybin and had been fasting since the night before, so I was feeling them. The experience was definitely much more manageable, not like the 5 meo had been, but I was still opening up and sensing inter dimensionally.

In that space I saw my Mantis guide right there in front of me, he looked similar except this time I could see more of his body and I realized that he was much larger than I had noticed in my previous experience. He looked as though he was 11 or 12 feel tall, and I could see these amazing golden intricate geometric patterns in and around his body. He was beautiful. In this space I asked him to work on my heart chakra as I've been dealing with grief over a lost loved one. He reached into my chest and I immediately felt almost a cool feeling in my heart space, like an expansiveness and a breath of fresh air.

He showed me that I had been feeling like I had a weight on my chest not just because of the grief but primarily because I had not been loving myself. I have been busy building walls of "protection" around my heart in an attempt to shield myself from pain, but in doing so I was also moving farther away from my own love.

He showed me that all love comes from within, and that love needs to begin with you before it can be shared with others. If you send "love" energy to others before you nourish yourself with it, it's unsustainable. We all need to learn how to love ourselves, and once we learn how to love ourselves, not in an egoic sense, but in a true universal way, we will all be more whole, more aligned, more ourselves and we will hold more capacity for love and compassion of others.

As the experience began to fade, I realized I needed to eat to come back into my body—to ground myself again in this human experience. But what surprised me most was that the feeling of connection didn't disappear when the medicine wore off.

Whether I enter these expanded states or simply sit quietly in meditation, I know that his presence is still there. I don't feel like I have to chase profound experiences to find it anymore. My guide isn't somewhere "out there" waiting for me to return—he's always here, quietly supporting my growth, reminding me to come back to my own heart.

More than anything, these experiences taught me that healing doesn't come from escaping our humanity; it comes from inhabiting it more fully. Every time I choose compassion over fear, soften instead of harden, or remember to love myself as deeply as I try to love others, I feel that connection again.

For that, I am endlessly grateful. ❤️
