Three years ago almost, I listened to some weird meditation tapes for only two weeks, and nothing has been the same ever since. Something fundamentally changed in my senses, especially visually. I can't bare bright lights or loud or even mildly discordant noises. I constantly feel these weird unpleasant creeping vibrations and various squirmy sensations, especially in my feet at night.

The Visions:

A winged black ominous multi eyed and winged flying 'ophanim.' The Levianthan squirming around in my minds eye. A 'Baal' looking mutha fucker looking down at me from a fiery portal in my minds eye...

Huge tsunami wave or rising flood wates. People are running.

A giant neon coloured super computer.

A tiny micro-chip or app downloading into my minds eye.

A giant 'all-seeing eye' floating above the ocean, gazing at me.

Reptilians and mean looking greys staring down at me nastily from a portal in my minds eye.

Multiple flying non-consentual astral vision type experiences, usually involving a birds eye view of different 'Lokas and Tallas' Hindu cosmology like, lower and higher 'dimensions' Buddhist symbology like the Wheel of Time.

Scientists in lab coats, running in panic and fear, in a laboratory setting, dropping clipboards in their haste.

Repeated scenes of (and even extremely detailed close ups) of stern looking soldiers' faces, men dressed in military uniforms staring at screens - carrying out presumable military activities involving mass surveillance.

Repeated scenes of underground tunnels and military bunkers. High-speed trains underground, caddying groups of miserable, tired wretched looking young children.

Dream sequence: I'm at a lunch at a fancy restaurant attended by billionaires and including Maxwell and Epstein. The check arrives, and they all insist they are broke and I will have to pay the bill

Might mean something, might mean nothing. What do y'all think? As the kids all say these days, let's get into it. What crazy surreal meaningful lucid dreams and visions have you all been having?

I listened to the Gateway Experience tapes for a brief period of about 2 weeks. The weird beeping sounds at the beginning triggered a deep buried memory for me too.

I was pulled out of class when I was about 5, 6 or 7 years old in the early 1980s in Far North New Zealand (an isolated little coastal country village) because I read at a high level for my age to have 'hearing tests'. Which makes zero sense.

I remember a woman from outside the school testing me in a darkened room, being asked to drink a sickly sweet thick viscous pink drink,

the ESP cards, listening to strange tones on the huge black headphones, tapping on a tin lid whenever I heard the tone. My mother who was actually a teacher at the school has no recollection of the programme.

As a life-long atheist or more accurately, agnostic person who was christened Catholic but not brought up in a religious household, over the past three years I've become increasingly drawn to spirituality, comparative Eastern and Western religions creation stories and cosmology and wanting to learn more about the differences and similarities between the core teachings in the holy books of the three main Abrahamic religions.

According to the Biblical Scriptures in Genesis, God instructed Adam and Eve never to eat from the fruit of the tree of knowledge (of good and evil.)

As I generally understood it, Biblical scholars interpret this to mean "never seek wisdom by consulting guidance gained from hidden knowledge"?

Is this the same in the Quran? Or is this considered to be metaphorical and up for interpretation?

I am curious about how Muslims view AI, the push for rapid unregulated acceleration and the morality of AI acceleration in the context of what is written in the verses of the Quran; and how Imams and scholars are interpreting and preaching about the use of AI from an Islamic lens, especially in relation to Islamic cosmology, morality and eschatology related verses.

2. Have you, ever had open and or closed eye visions or had random 'remote viewing type experiences, in which you vividly saw humanoid figures, either in 'situation rooms' or similar settings, working in rows on computers, wearing military uniform.

3. Have you ever had lucid dreams, OOBEs, or similar, open or closed eye visions of 'scientists' or, in other words, humanoid looking people in lab coats, working in a laboratory like setting.

4. Have you had visions, lucid dreams, or OOBE and seen a giant eye or an 'all seeing eye'?

5. Have you ever had the sense of being 'under surveillance' and seeing a lot of eyeballs during mediation or in visions since you started listening to the Gateway Experience tapes.
