I'm curious how many of us have interacted with psychedelics vs. how many have not. If there is any common link.

Separately, how many of you feel you perceive consciousness differently than the average person, regardless of psychedelic experience?

Feel free to share context.

Someone’s post on here recently had me wondering, was anyone else’s school particularly weird about odd skills? Like actively looking for our unique ‘talents’? I remember doing just about every single hobby out there before I was even 12. Here’s a few examples and why I think they’re related.

Music: lots of instrument searching. By 12 I had tried violin clarinet drums and dance. I think people with well rounded music tastes or those who are drawn to music, tend to be higher energy individuals.

Gardening: I think they were actively searching for who had green thumbs. Those of us that seem to just grow things with touch. I think these people are healers in society

Dream journaling: I think they were searching for travelers.

I can keep going but you get the point. I think mine was manifesting. Sometimes I’m so good at it that life genuinely feels like a game. What do you think was yours? And what activity do you think was associated in finding it for you?

Please continue telling us we are nuts, insane... "conspiracy theorists"... that we remember things wrong... while yall busy doing that, more and more of us are waking up and understanding what happened to us. I wana see yall debunk people like this woman. I'm about halfway through this podcast. You can see that she isn't just someone reading off a script... you can see when she is emotionally and mentally reliving an Experience. I think this tracks for alot of us. Everything is there... the auditory tests, pink chalk bubblegum flavoured drink... and much more. I would like fellow experiencers thoughts on this🤔

I remember in the early 2010s that I was pulled aside from class to do tests very similar to GATE tests.I was in elementary school at the time. I had to swoosh pink liquid around my mouth before testing and I had very long hearing tests with frequencies. I found the tapes on youtube and it triggered a memory of hearing that first tape. However it abruptly stopped happening and I was unsure as to why. I was maybe around in 2nd or 3rd gradeish when it began and stopped, which would have been 2012 or 2013.

I am now currently 22 years old.

I dont really remember much other than the pink liquid, the hearing tests and some worksheets I had to do.

(These are the tapes)

I was part of TAG (Talented and Gifted) in grade school. A focus on creative learning, with some satellite classes taken during regular school hours in a small office space, and one day a week at a satellite location. We used computers a lot, did art and creative type things, but I only remember a few specifics.

HUGE emphasis on gym, mostly core strength and squat exercises, also heart health,

In a school built on ambiguous forward thinking tech and creativity, an entire class dedicated to the MONARCH butterfly.

If you saw my last post a few days ago, I mentioned an upcoming interview with Athena A. Drewes. Athena is a psi researcher who has tested many children in schools. She had her own chapter in 'Advances in Parapsychological Research' Vol. 8.

When I first started this video, I intended on only covering drugs used in school experiments (published in the journal of parapsychology) but I was so excited after I interviewed Athena yesterday because she said some pretty mind blowing stuff, that I included clips of that full length interview in the video itself.

You will be MIND blown to hear what she says. (no clickbait)

If you want to watch the full length interview, I will post it later today here- https://patreon.com/UnlockingGATERestrictedAccess?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink

I will later use the most compelling and important clips and make them into a Youtube video for those who do not want to join the podcast/patreon. Just keep in mind that it takes me a while to make Youtube videos so it'll take a while but the most important information will be posted on Youtube, free, in time.

For those who join and support, thank you in advance🖤

The interview with Athena is an hour and a half long, and she she actually DID test Gifted and talented students in schools, as well as pre-schoolers.

If you have specific questions you want me to ask her in my next interview with her (about two weeks from now) for my second rounds of questions email me at - Cryptidcandytv@gmail.com

Keep in mind that Athena A. Drewes KNOWS Stanley Krippner, and my interview with Stanely Krippner is scheduled..soonish.

I do believe these interviews are breakthroughs.

ps. Sorry for typos, I stayed up all night to post this video

Thank you to the mods for allowing me to post

I had a memory pop up from GATE thats been rather haunting for me.

Background info: This was mid to late 90s, I was 6/7 years old, went to school in a rural, souther, private school. There was no disclosure of GATE and the only way I found out was through test scores. My school was very small.

This memory is rather sensitive so I would ask if you don’t believe it, please keep comments to yourself. I have raised this in therapy and my therapist and I have done work to ensure what I am remembering is accurate. My therapist has acknowledged this memory as an “original wound.”

Memory: This is still foggy but more details over time has come back. I remember being in a room at school that I have never been in. I remember this room being “off limits” as it was a religious school/church and this room was a makeshift apartment for visiting pastors/missionaries (sibling confirmed this). I remember a bed in the corner and all windows covered with paper bags. I remember sitting at a desk with someone who I didn’t know. I think it was a man. They began to administer hypnosis. I wasn’t sure what was going on so I just complied. I followed the gold watch with my whole head and then they stopped and told me to watch with my eyes only.

I can’t remember anything while being in an altered state but I do remember hearing “you will not remember this” and then the countdown to come back awake. Something deep triggered inside of my head with fierce determination of “I will remember” and feeling like my mind was ripped apart. Whatever happened, my 6/7 year old brain knew it wasn’t good and went into survival mode.

Bottom line: This was all done without requesting consent and no ethical guidelines were followed for administering hypnosis to children. My sibling does remember parts of GATE but does not remember anything like this. I even questioned if this was some occult practice since this was associated with a church, but it doesn’t quite fit. My parents were very anti mental health/illness and would not sign me up for something like this. They were very much into corporal punishment ”parenting.”

Does anyone have any memory like this? This memory answered a lot of patterns and issues I had as a kid going all the way into my young adult years.

What people seem to be suddenly 'remembering' are things that either a) were common occurrences in elementary schools in the 80s and they are associating them with what they think is one "Gate" program and or b) things that they read about on social media from other people who are having these memories.

As for my own experience, I never forgot it, but it strikes me as highly unlikely that people truly completely forgot and some for some mystical reason are now recalling these very unusual experiences. This has become a social phenomenon in itself. To the point that those of us who were in weird gifted and talented programs and would really like to know what the deal was, will likely never get many details because there are now legions of people claiming to have been in 'gate'. And there are lizard people and every other imaginable kind of craziness thrown in now.

We do not have proof that the CIA was conducting psi testing in schools via gifted and talented programs**. Declassified documents about the paranormal are not proof, because anything can be classified.** The fact that something is classified does NOT mean that the CIA was successful in their attempts and it certainly does NOT mean that there is any validity to the things they were looking for in their tests.

Similarly, the fact that a patent exists does NOT mean that the patented item is scientifically sound. It may never have even been tested! Patents are about intellectual property. The fact that there is a patent for something only means that the patent office decided the petitioner could own the IP. A patent does not equal scientifically sound. There are SO many pseudoscientific patents.

If you all concede that your memory is malleable, can you see how it can be affected by others' stories?

As of late, the Gate Program has been brought up quite a bit. Because of people telling their stories, I've been remembering this same program when I was in school and it has been giving me alot of anxiety. About 3rd grade so about '99-'00. I remember adults coming into the class room and naming certain kids to follow them. There was a few of us in line maybe about 7-10 of us? They took us in this little room one by one. They did the flash cards. I'm unsure how I did. They did the hearing test with the big gaudy headset.

Now this is where i started to get anxious with the knowledge of the high concentrated fluoride pink drink. Some say they had to swish and spit in the cup and others say they had to drink it. I remember they gave me a cup with a small amount of the stuff and was told to drink it.

Further research said that the Gate Program also worked with children's health including dental but i just think that it's weird for them to just randomly do that in a gifted testing situation.

Also small childhood background: I was a really smart kid that didn't have to study for any test. As a matter of fact I never learned how to study as a kid and it hindered me greatly in college. I read 3 grades above my level in school early on. Wrote short stories that won awards across the entire east side. And craved artistry and even today I'm a professional tattoo artist. Always had high intuition and empathy as well. I was diagnosed at 22 with autism due to being AFAB and doctors not diagnosing female children with autism back in the 90s. Mom also said that was a creepy kid and was always talking to someone like I wasn't alone or seeing something that wasn't there.

I just wanted to share my story and see of anybody has any similar stories. I'm worried the government kept us from our full potential somehow and if there's a way that we can get it back..

Anyone been getting emails about working for the CIA lately? Ive never worked in law enforcement, or searched jobs pertaining to it. Im excellelent at getting intel, just dont want to work for these corrupt organizations. And also , dont fit the qualifications. Just strange i keep getting emails .

Does anyone else remember being tested in pre-k or kindergarten that involved trying to use a cigarette lighter?

I know I was tested for the gifted program in 1st/2nd grade but I didn't score high enough to actually make it into the program. I do remember Zener card during that time.

Im addition to the vague zener card memory, I also have a vivid memory from the years before that where I was taken into a room with my teacher and a random guy and they asked me if I could show them how to use a cigarette lighter. I remember blocks being used for some sort of testing then too. I am not sure if this is related to GATE at all so I wanted to check-in to see if anyone else had a similar experience?

I'm a millennial and was in GATE doing weird psychic shit until I moved schools in 5th grade. I found out my mom was in GATE, but and doesn't remember much and doesn't think any weird shit happened. But could there be a familial aspect like abductions? I know not all GATE are the same because my new school was called the same thing but it was just a class through the school or state rather than the gov.

Any millennial or gen z who had a parent in GATE as well?

We had math, science, social studies, and language arts. Each class was divided into verbal learners and nonverbal learners. Anyone else? Can anyone explain why they’d have done it this way? Like, how would a nonverbal learner learn language arts, for example?

Just a random question, how many of us they actually got right and have special premonitions or intuitive gifts we can’t explain, and if you don’t mind can you give us a story of how you realized? And did you brush it off at first?

Has anyone here had any experiences or specific memories that occurred at STARBASE. For those of you that have never heard of it, Starbase was a program conducted LITERALLY by the Department of Defense (DoD) in the early 2000s. Specifically I went there in 2008 through the catholic school i was attending. it was a two month long program. I dont know if it is defunct nationwide now but im hoping there are some experiences out there that can comment on this.

It was a program for 5th graders around the country where we were sent to a military base in our town. can someone please tell me why they were sending 5th graders to a military base for any reason…

Literally I have seen nobody talk about this program and it doesnt sit right with me because i have strange memories from out time there. I remember feeling very ill every single time we went there by the end of the day. by the end of the day i would always leave there with intense migraines every single time. i would beg my parents if i could stay home because i didnt like going to the military base but the program was pitched to us as a fun experience

ive tried to research about the program online and the building we were sent to is closed down now and abandoned.

I’ve posted here before,
I was in gate program from 1st - 6th grade in the 80’s, small town, Midwest, etc etc like so many others on here. Anyway, I’ll try to keep it short,., there WAS another PINK DRINK besides the fluoride. It was given after headphone testing in dark windowless room. It made you forget … ugh so weird.
