I've heard some Esalen old timers mention in years past (in the before times) fire fighters got access to the hot springs at Esalen. Can anyone confirm or deny whether this is currently happening? Thank you!

Hello people of reddit! I'm living with two older people now and something I hear from time to time (aside from the casual racist stereotype) is comments like "men these days are too soft" which prompted me to think: when did the last "real" men exist? This is meant to be lighthearted and hopefully catches on as a game poking fun at this gatekeeping of "manliness".

The way I see it is we all have ancestors that would look at us and think we're "soft". "Real men don't mine their own ore and forge their own metal tools anymore" for example. Or "real men don't navigate using the stars anymore they just use their phones".

Again, this is intended to be lighthearted. The old people i live with are pretty receptive and would probably respond well to me sharing some of the examples shared here to highlight a point. Anyway, people of reddit, the stage is yours!

Something that has always confused me was the disconnect between (some) of those in management positions at Esalen and the complete disconnect with the Ethos of exploring the leading edge of human potential. For context I've been employed with Esalen before and am still in touch with current Esalen staff. What I'm sharing isn't gossip but personal and shared experiences between staff and management.

During my time I've had managers exploit workers by hiring them on for positions like dishwashing and then scheduling them for leadership positions for months without a pay increase. It wasn't until this case was brought up to HR that things were resolved and back pay was granted. Management got to keep their jobs.

I've seen multiple staff be told that they would need to cover their workplace injuries through their own personal insurance. I know of upper management in one case trying to deny that a workplace injury even occurred in the first place. This was resolved through HR after emails came to light where another member of management acknowledged the workplace injury and was requesting the employee cover the costs themselves. Again, management was allowed to keep their jobs.

There have been managers who acrued multiple cases of sexual harassment during their years there and were allowed to keep their jobs. A former employee was rehired inspite of getting Esalen sued for continued sexual harassment of another employee. The former employee who sued Esalen for its role in allowing this sexual harassment has been black listed.

There are more recent cases and there's continued turmoil in the workplace. I believe part of the problem comes from hiring staff this isn't aligned or interested in aligning with the culture of helping create a utopia that radiates through the rest of the world. I guess the problem there is everyone has a different idea of what utopia is (sexual harassment with impunity, violating labor laws with impunity, being able to ignore the problems around you and within you, etc.).

This is meant to spark a constructive conversation. I'm not here to gossip I am here to help bring awareness to the underbelly of Esalen. I believe there are guests who would be shocked that this has been happening for years at Esalen. I believe the powers at be that run Esalen are more likely to listen to guest concerns than those of staff unfortunately. The SF Gate has some articles on Esalen that are worth looking into which have also been catalysts for change there. It seems that external pressure from the outside world helps move things along there.

I hope this has been eye opening for some of you. Please feel free to reach out and share your experiences if you don't feel comfortable sharing them here. I believe management shows what they are capable of creating with the resources availble to them at a place like Esalen. Some build new gardens, others regurgitate the same unstable power structures they've seen before. At the end of the day if these experiences help wake management up to how fear based and disconnected they still are, great! I guess seeing the shadow is some peoples leading edge. And I know it helped me advocate for myself and my coworkers which is also a win.

And not all of management "rules" like this. I've had the pleasure of meeting very heart-based leadership there that continues to hold the light. I think it's also important to say that management that doesn't lead from the heart always has an expiration date. They never last.

I for one am excited about open contact. That's not what this post is about. It's important for me to keep in mind that once open contact happens nothing will ever be the same. I want to keep this in mind and appreciate every day a little bit more. It could be the last day before our understanding of the Universe absolutely gets flipped on its head. It's a new practice for me but I thought I'd share it in case it serves anyone else. Appreciate how "normal" today is. It could be the last.

Our governments have been briefed and given guidance on how to roll out disclosure but the ETs are the ones in the driver's seat. Our governments have known of their arrival and have had time to prepare. Open contact directly threatens the strangle hold Our governments have over us and soon a new option will be made available. The next few decades after contact will be about integration but our children will have grown up always knowing about ETs and when they come into power these kids will be the ones opening the door for more interactions between our cultures. Strap in buddy it's going to be a bumpy ride.

I see a lot of fear based thinking on this subreddit. Once upon a time humans thought cats and black people were demons. Humans can't help but to think that the world is out to get them. What if they're here to help? What if the negatively oriented ETs are kept at bay by the more positive ones? What if there's ETs protecting us from the negative ones? What if things could actually go your way instead of against? What if the whole universe is rooting for us to get out of this lower vibration?

Whole lot of people in here arguing for their limitations. A lot of fear based thinking from people who think the way humans hurt eachother is the default in the universe. What if we're the outliers? What if we're one of the few planets that experience this degree of negativity? What if we're not the norm? What if what if What if?

Anyway, the world isnt as scary as some of yall think. There's so much more love and support out there for you than you think. Our governments will probably try to fake some alien invasion to justify some awful autrocity but the US government has cant figure out a fucking reflecting pool you really think they'll be able to figure out an alien invasion?

Negative ETs exist. Not denying that. But they can't hurt you. Your entourage of positively inclined ETs is a lot bigger and stronger. Negativity is unstable. Pure unconditional love is not.

There's a theory that says Grey aliens were humans from a parallel Earth who chose technological advancement and saw emotions and the spiritual as disposable. These proto-Grey humans poisoned their soil, water, air, and food and ultimately themselves. The poisons in their bodies made them sterile and their failing Earth led them underground. They used their advanced technology to mutate themselves into what we would now recognize as the Grey's. After a few failed cloning attempts they realized they were on the verge of dying off as a species. All was not lost and as a last ditch effort they tunneled into parallel realities into Earth's that still had viable human DNA. With the help of their technology, and the fact they too were genetically "human", they created hybrids and thus helped prevent their own extinction.

SO! THE QUESTION:

Do you see "proto greys"? There are politicians I would label as being proto greys with their anti-nature legislation. Elon Musk called empathy a "weakness" and how many manosphere chuds push a similar belief?

I don't believe we'll end up like the Greys. I'm curious if any of you resonate with this? Maybe this is the first time you're hearing this theory? I'm open to hearing any thoughts and opinions. Thank you!

Hello I'm currently living on a property with a couple tree of heaven. Luckily here in California TOH doesn't spread too well from seed so it's a manageable amount on the property. I've been learning so much from you all about this invasive and am curious if anyone has heard of this fungus that kills TOH? This article from Penn State is from 2014 and am curious if there's been any developments? Are people using it? I'm wanting to better understand what my treatment options are. Thank you again to this community for being so full of knowledge on this specific topic!

Almost crashed into someone who stopped their car in the middle the road on a blind turn to ... get something from their trunk? There's so many turnouts everywhere yall. Pick one and park there.

People with their fancy cars were seen standing in the middle of the highway to take photos of their cars. Cross the road you're literally on a Highway. You wont be able to drive your expensive sportscar if you're dead.

If you're a tourist, I understand the road is both beautiful and scary so you're going through a lot. Take a deep breath and practice safe driving. You got this. 👍🏽

This has been a PSA. 🫡

Bashar has talked about Eisenhower having had contact with ETs. A lot of what appears in the Graeda Treaty has also been talked about by Bashar. Anyone know any more about the Graeda Treaty? I've just learned about this and am curious if anyone has more to share! Thank you

It's always baffled me how people could look out at Big Sur and litter?

Respectfully, what the actual fuck is wrong with people???

I can only imagine what their homes and inner world look like.

Penalties should be public humiliation or *firing squad imho.

​

Anyway, discuss.

​

*I'm just kidding about the firing squad

Hello! I think it's too soon to share this dream over in the alien subreddit but I think the Bashar community can hear it.

​

I just woke up from a very interesting dream.

​

There was a lot of commotion going on in the world. I had this perspective of being just above peoples heads going from one group to another witnessing how they were reacting. A lot of scattering. I remember one scene I was over a basketball court and some people were rushing to get out by climbing over the tall fence that surrounded it.

​

Other people were rushing to get up into the mountains. Lastly I end up over a city. There's people pouring into buildings and there's a lot of chatter about "shit getting real" outside as bar patrons are looking around at the influx of people. Mom's are worried about their kids but there's this over all feeling of "safe indoors". The soccer game (maybe world cup?) playing on the screens is also live with commotion.

​

There's a "heaviness" in the air like something above of us is pressing down. I think this is the ETs energy coming closer as they approach our surface. I didn't hear too many screams. The closer they got the softening of the fear. Or maybe just the awe took over.

​

The last thing I remember is seeing the inside of a craft with about 7 figures. The one right in the middle was in a relaxed pose. Laying down but propping their head up with their hand. Other arm is out over their bent leg. The other figures were the same height which makes me believe they were sitting on the ground. Their faces didnt have too much expression and I didnt see anything as far as clothing or hair. I was getting a ... film over everything. Imagine if mercury had glitter in it I guess. This was more like a filter over the scene. Maybe ab affect of seeing "through" and inside the craft?

​

Anyway I thought I'd share. Other subreddits may not be ready for (or may not take it seriously?/may respond more like the running masses in my dream) but I think the Bashar community can hold this.

​

I personally wasn't feeling scared but was a witness to a lot of "commotion". People running and looking for a safe space. I didnt hear anything like sirens but that doesn't mean there weren't any. It seemed to be a felt experience of something "coming" but I'm sure people were seeing a craft descending.

​

I think i saw the figures in the craft as a response to my question of "what's all the commotion about?"

​

Anyway, 10/10 would have this dream again 👍🏽

I've worked at Esalen and still know people there.

I'm curious why the disconnect between the Esalen ethos and how the place is ran?

Upper management seems comfortable stretching its staff thin.

This seems counter to what Esalen the "leading edge" it claims to be exploring. Not to mention this all negatively impacts the guest experience.

​

An ex-staff member called Esalen a "spa with history" and those words still ring true today. I expect the affects of the El Niño this Winter will probably help wipe the slate clean staff-wise.

​

Feel free to share your thoughts and perspectives. Any insite from previous, or current, management is appreciated.

Hello I've recently heard from Ryokah, an Essassani being channeled by Tyler Ellison, about this process we can do to our water. He mentions adding minerals, charging it in the sun, and swirling it. Has anyone tried this and if so what has your experience been?

I believe he says it creates water more similar to the kind found in our bodies, fruits and vegetables. Something about changing it's structure to a hexagonal shape and this being water in fourth density. I could be remembering those last pieces incorrectly.

One governments have been in conversation with ETs for a few decades now. They've been working behind the scenes to get us to disclosure and eventually open contact. Spielberg's "Disclosure Day" isn't just a coincidence in timing. ETs have been letting our governments know they're coming and coaching them on how to roll out disclosure and open contact.

These file dumps are a way to get the general public talking about ETs and desensitizing us to news about ETs. Eventually these weekly dumps of files will become daily reporting of UAPs. I believe this current administration is also crucial in getting people on board at their own speed. It's easy enough to not believe everything they say and I think that's important in acclimating to ET life existing and potentially visiting us.

Open contact is inevitable at this point. Keep your hearts open and eyes up to the sky this summer. UAP activity is said to be higher during the busier traveling summer months.

And as always ... MeEp MoRp 👽✨️

Hello im moving and have books to donate to a free library! Anyone know of any around town? Or maybe a better way to donate books. Thanks!
