Mysterious reappearance of my Gateway Tape specific iPod… should I listen? 👀
So I have a mysterious case on my hands and I will tell you why!
I first started messing with the Gateway Tapes in 2022 when a friend gifted me an iPod with high quality recordings of the entire Monroe tape collection. I took to it quickly and had a number of strange experiences, I once posted about how a MRI tech saw a phantom arm on my MRI mid procedure while I was practicing f10 from memory, and at some point around 2 years ago the iPod disappeared.
I had already become hesitant to use the tapes anymore so it kind of felt like a sign but I also suspected a bad date of having taken it. Since then, I have completely rearranged the room, deep cleaned thoroughly, gotten entirely new bedding and not to mention searched EVERYWHERE for this dang iPod. It was gone, I figured the bad date took it because I showed him the iPod and he was interested in the tapes, and that was that. No more gateway tapes.
Well, I’ll spare the details but basically my life has a way of being cosmic and karmic and I’m at a point where a lot of my wishes have been granted but I’m learning all sorts of lessons, there’s a real trickster like energy afoot, and I’ve been feeling like everything is starting to come together in a strange and wonderful and scary way.
The other day my cat got into my bedroom, which is also my studio, and that’s not allowed and he knows it. He darted under my bed and I lifted my bed skirt and… there was the iPod, sitting there with my naughty cat positioned right behind it.
This was immediately shocking because not only is the bed in the opposite side of the room from when I last saw the iPod, but I clean under there every so often (easily 10 times in the last 2 years) and just recently had. There was barely any dust on it compared to the light layer that had collected since my last sweep.
So, the tapes have reappeared. The date didn’t take the iPod. Back when I was using the tapes I had a lot of bizarre stuff happening and I feel very intrigued and hesitant to use them again. While using the tapes I had secret information given to me that turned out to be true… and now I am feeling afraid of whatever truths it may reveal now, especially after disappearing and reappearing like that during this time in my life.
So, what should I do? :)
