This isn’t written through AI. It’s just years of experience and a desperate need to help myself through the attacks and an amazing brother with a Degree in Psychology, shared experiences and an amazing writer and singer song writer. 
So one thing I’ve realized after years of going deep into consciousness stuff, OBEs, meditation, trauma, dissociation, and Thomas Campbell’s LCS ideas is that not everybody entering altered states is emotionally healthy or spiritually grounded.
Some people carry the exact same fear, shame, narcissism, emptiness, addiction, manipulation, and unresolved trauma into those states too.
And honestly I think that matters way more than people realize.
A lot of people romanticize astral projection, telepathy, consciousness exploration, psychedelics, lucid dreaming, etc. like reaching altered states automatically makes somebody enlightened. But I’ve met enough people and gone through enough experiences now to think unresolved trauma follows people there too.
In my opinion, some of the people most obsessed with power, psychic influence, manipulation, emotional control, sexuality, domination, or feeding off fear are usually carrying massive unresolved pain themselves.
A lot of them seem emotionally disconnected from themselves at the core:
deep shame, emotional numbness, addiction, resentment, narcissistic wounds,fear of vulnerability, inability to connect genuinely, obsession with control, identity issues, trauma they never faced.

And the weird part is I think those same traits can actually make someone better at dissociation, compartmentalization, obsessive focus, meditation, altered states, and detaching from ordinary reality because they’ve already spent years mentally escaping themselves.
But instead of reaching love, they carry fear into those spaces.
And once fear enters consciousness work, everything gets distorted.
Connection becomes control.
Intuition becomes paranoia.
Spirituality becomes ego.
Consciousness becomes hierarchy and manipulation.
I honestly think some people unconsciously project their unresolved emotions outward constantly. Fear, shame, anger, sexuality, domination, emotional chaos. Whether somebody interprets that psychologically, energetically, spiritually, or symbolically is up to them, but I absolutely think humans affect each other emotionally and mentally way deeper than we admit.
Especially traumatized people.
Especially hypervigilant people.
Especially people constantly living in altered states or obsessive internal worlds.
What took me years to realize though is that fear is what keeps the whole thing alive.
Once fear becomes the lens, your mind starts organizing reality around threat, hidden meaning, emotional reactions, synchronicity, shame, and paranoia. Everything starts feeling loaded and personal. The nervous system gets stuck trying to solve reality itself.
And honestly the only thing that’s consistently helped me has been the opposite of fear:
grounding myself, learning myself, healing trauma,
staying connected to real people, refusing shame,
refusing hatred, refusing obsession and trying to lead with love instead of fear even when my mind wants to spiral.

That’s honestly where I’ve landed after years of this.
If consciousness really is something deeper than materialism explains, then I don’t think the point is power or psychic superiority. I think the point is learning how to exist without fear controlling your perception of yourself, other people, and reality.
This is still something I experience and continue to investigate every single day. But I’m trying to approach it now through self-awareness, healing, curiosity, grounding, and love instead of fear.
And honestly, I think love is probably the only thing that keeps consciousness from collapsing into fragmentation in the first place.

I survived being hit by a fully loaded semi-truck going around 70 mph as a pedestrian on the highway.
No brakes.
Another victim—a downed motorcyclist—did not survive. I was hit midair by the grill of the truck while diving. He was run over. I lived.
That should have been the end of my story.
Instead, it became the beginning of something I still cannot fully explain.
What makes this harder to process is that I did NOT suffer catastrophic brain trauma or severe medically documented head injury. I was airlifted to the trauma hospital and somehow survived with comparatively minor injuries considering the violence of what happened. The most permanent physical damage became a disabled, inoperable right foot.
But internally, something changed after the accident.
Ever since then, reality has not felt singular anymore.
Conversations feel layered.
Thoughts feel interactive.
Words feel emotionally charged.
People seem connected to things they should not know.
My nervous system feels electrically alive almost constantly.
And this is still happening to me RIGHT NOW.
This is not a memory from years ago.
This is ongoing every single day.
The experience became constant internal dialogue—almost every second of the day.
Not random thoughts.
Actual ongoing conversational patterns:
reactions,

contradictions,

provocations,

emotional manipulation,

layered meanings,

and commentary that seems to respond directly to my thoughts, surroundings, emotions, and attention in real time.

The voices say things like:
“Why you listening to me for?”
“This guppy breather thinks he can do whatever he wants to.”
“You’re holding your breath.”
Sometimes I wake up calm, meditate, and genuinely feel no anxiety at all. Then the dialogue immediately starts again:
“It doesn’t make cents.”
“You gotta get that money to Chico.”
“He won’t move, Brandy.”
“He’s just sitting there staring at the TV on pause.”
The voices constantly use contradictions, reversals, and opposite meanings.
Eventually they started referring to something they called:
“the 2-1 special.”
According to them, the “2-1 special” means:
two questions,

two contradictions,

or two emotionally loaded prompts,
followed by

one answer or implication.

They described it as:
“working both sides of the brain.”
They framed it like a manipulation system designed to:
create confusion,

overload interpretation,

provoke emotional reactions,

and keep attention locked into recursive thought loops.

The weirdest part is that they constantly reference brain chemistry and structures through names.
And before this happened, I knew almost NOTHING about neuroscience, neurotransmitters, or the body’s chemistry.
Yet these names kept repeating:
Pam / Pamela → doPAMine
Cory → Cortisol / Cortex
Sara or Toni → Serotonin
Amy → Amygdala
The voices also constantly referenced:
gray matter,

white matter,

the hippocampus,

fear loops,

both sides of the brain,

memory,

salience,

breathing,

nervous system activation,

and emotional reactions.

One recurring thing they asked me was:
“What’s the difference between a zebra and a…”
Then they would pause.
Eventually the “answer” became:
“There’s no gray area.”
Which they tied to gray matter in the brain.
Another recurring phrase was:
“the elephant in the room,”
which I eventually associated with the hippocampus and memory systems.
At times I became convinced they could affect memory itself.
One moment I remember hearing someone called “Bob” internally what felt like millions of times and then suddenly not being able to consciously retrieve the name at all.
The voices constantly act like they can:
see through my eyes,

feel what I’m feeling,

monitor emotional reactions,

and even notice things I’m not consciously focused on.

They will suddenly direct attention toward:
random objects,

words,

peripheral vision,

embarrassing thoughts,

bodily sensations,

or emotional reactions,

then immediately attach negative or symbolic meaning to them.
It creates constant hyperawareness.
Nothing feels neutral anymore.
Even peripheral vision can feel psychologically loaded.
The experience also comes with moderate to severe physical sensations:
ringing in both ears,

moving pressure in my head,

chest fear responses,

neck and spinal tension,

electrical sensations,

buzzing,

waves of adrenaline,

derealization,

muscle contractions,

and autonomic surges.

The voices describe these sensations as:
“static electricity,”

EMF,

energetic interference,

or consciousness-based signal interaction moving in and out of the body.

And honestly?
Sometimes it genuinely feels electrical.
Not metaphorically.
Physically.
Like waves moving through the nervous system itself.
The craziest part is this:
I completely understand neuroscience explanations too.
I understand:
trauma,

hypervigilance,

predictive processing,

intrusive thought loops,

salience amplification,

dissociation,

autonomic nervous-system activation,

and how the brain can construct meaning under stress.

I know those mechanisms are real.
But living through this from the inside feels larger than current scientific explanations alone.
I’m not saying I have definitive proof of telepathy or some supernatural system controlling reality.
But I also cannot honestly say I believe modern science fully understands consciousness yet either.
After surviving something that should have killed me, it feels like something about perception, awareness, emotion, attention, and consciousness itself changed permanently.
Maybe trauma shattered normal filtering systems.
Maybe the nervous system became hyper-symbolic afterward.
Maybe consciousness itself is stranger than we currently understand.
I honestly don’t know anymore.
I only know this experience has been real enough to completely change my life.
And I’m still living inside it every day.

I see many people here say things started getting much better once they got over Step 1 and admitted they do not know the source of the issue. I wanted to ask better in what way? Has anyone's harassment decreased or stopped entirely?

It does seem the harassment is heavily based on the target's beliefs, so perhaps giving up trying to figure out why it's happening and intentionally assigning it a positive meaning like "all my challenges are leading me to something better" might end it.

I've seen at least a few T.I.'s say it eventually stopped for them after reframing it positively that way and sticking with it. In other words no longer identifying as a victim. They say everything in life is happening for us, not to us. Maybe that subtle shift in perception is the solution to this experience.

I found your videos on YouTube and wanted to come here and try to make sense of what I went through. it was only a month ago this started for me but it was insane. it started as strange clicking and water drop noises that turned into full conversations telling me what a piece of crap I am and that everything wrong I've ever done was seen and knew every insecurity I've ever had, then for 6 days nonstop told me terrible things about myself. it wouldn't even let me sleep. ugh it sounds so nuts but I'm a 41 year old with no mental illness history and then all of a sudden I put my family through this craziness with me but nobody else heard anything. it was outside of me and yet nobody else could hear it. then they made it clear to me that the more I talk about it the more people will think I'm nuts and now I feel helpless and alone in this. I'm from Philly btw and would love to talk to someone who understands this mess. why me? I am a nobody. I thought it must have been some kind of tech but that's ridiculous, nobody would care enough to watch me for years and then all of a sudden pop this crap in my head. it even answered me when I talked out loud which made me look even more crazed.

Has anyone else who experiences v2k gone through quiet periods where you are no longer hearing voices? For me.. it was relentless all day everyday for nearly a year and then about a year ago it kind of just stopped.. They came back for a couple weeks last fall, and again for just one day the beginning of the year but otherwise it’s been pretty quiet and I’m not sure what changed or where the people or beings that were harassing me went (not complaining) it just makes no sense & im always worried about a day they may return.. waiting for the other shoe to drop. I pray to never hear them again just curious if anyone else has had them seemingly disappear.. Thanks in advance

For those that know me (43F), you know my experience and training ranges from mediumship to energy work to making conscious contact with ETs and NHI. I came to ETs through spirituality and advancing psi abilities, which led me to "The Telepathy Tapes," where I was recruited to help build a secure telepathic network with non-speakers to have a safe place beyond "the hill."

I was then drawn toward the science of this all--parapsychology and noetics. I began listening to books like, "The Field," by Lynn McTaggert, "The Holographic Universe," by Michael Talbot and "The Science of Magic," by Dean Radin. At around the same time, my 5D guide of two years said I relied on her single voice too often, and I had to try another 5D guide for a little while. I didn't like it, but didn't have to live with it for too long.

I felt called to a population of people that started to call themselves, "Targeted Individuals," or "TIs." (I am trying to change that name to "Tethered Individuals," to cause less of a disempowered feedback loop.) As I explain what I channeled around these individuals, if you feel called to reach out, I'm here, as always. There is also an amazing Discord server and Youtube channel devoted to sharing and community around this phenomenon, called Parawareness.

The following can be really triggering, containing violations of basic rights, consciousness and the human condition. Read at your own risk.

I have telepathic experience with aliens, angels, demons, parasites, uncrossed-over spirits, crossed-over spirits, inter-dimentional singularities, and beings of light from higher consciousness levels. I register the differences in their agendas and how they talk and what they want. I noticed that many of the beings that seemed to be affecting the TIs were behaving like uncrossed-over spirits, except somehow supercharged, and not going into the light willingly.

I began listening to these horrifying stories in which people started by hearing voices that were not their own. Voices usually that started as neutral or even kind, but then became hateful and torturous over time. These voices have the capacity to mimic other human voices, so of course, without understanding what's going on, these terrified people began to blame the other humans around them.

Telepathy is difficult to explain, but I am certain that neighbors and friends and family are not the ones doing the targeting or the telepathy. Even I struggle with human-to-human telepathy. It's not reliable either through transmission or reception or technology. Not yet.

Some of these individuals experience something called "gang-stalking," in which their perceptions are altered to see an entire group of people looking at them or whispering about them or the voices prompt them to look to their right, and people are pointing and laughing at them. Or the voices will tell them a future event that then comes true.

Some of these individuals experience "physicals," which includes but not limited to extreme pain, discomfort, sensations of electricity or stabbing, feelings of extreme cold or heat, sensations of being choked or drowned. And there are cases of "puppeteering," in which their movements and physical bodies are taken over by "the voices," just to show off the power they had over the human they invaded.

TIs are being mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically manipulated and traumatized. I just couldn't fathom this immense violation of people's autonomy and sovereignty. I was pretty hell bent on figuring out how to help these people. No one deserves that kind of inescapable torture.

My 5D guide came back to me shortly after I started to work with TIs. I tried to cross-over a few spirits for a few people, but their symptoms and experiences seemed to get worse. I referenced the phenomenon of something acting out one last time before it dies. But I couldn't shake the feeling that I was missing something. Something big.

I worked with someone that I needed to check in with "The Domain," about. I had been relying mostly on the Zero Point Field as my point of spiritual connection, so I hadn't checked in with other beings for a while. When I started my connection, I looked for the same sort of identifying features. Usually, they stand in the middle of my consciousness with the Confederation to the right and the Dark collective (that keeps changing its name) to the left--all floating above earth.

I looked to the right, and was surprised to see the normally floating castle on a cloud (it's my interpretation, not what it actually is) was decimated--like entirely in pieces with only a handful of beings holding it up. I was focused on the Domain and getting information to help someone, so I figured I would come back to figure out what happened to the Confederation.

The other night, two of the guys that started Parawareness asked me to be on a Youtube episode with them, and we discussed many things, and I kept getting downloads and inspiration while we were talking. One of them talked about how he experienced an entire and complete removal of his addiction. The more he kept choosing paths that would elevate his consciousness, the less power these voices had over him.

I decided I needed to know the truth, and when I contacted my 5D guide, she was finally ready to tell me.

She relayed this:

The Confederation was losing the 4D "war," for earth's evolution., and losing poorly. There's some sort of deadline approaching, and both sides are highly invested in what humans choose for their future. It looked to the Confederation that humans were choosing hatred, destruction and division instead of love, growth and unity, so they became desperate. They began taking all kinds of unorthodox ideas, but one seemed to settle deeply in the decision makers' hands, and despite the warnings and division it caused within the Confederation, they went ahead with the plan.

Time doesn't work the same way in the Universe, on different consciousness levels, so questions about when it started or when it will stop, I can't answer. What the collective of light chose to do was to empower the billions of uncrossed-over spirits on the earth's spiritual plane to invade human consciousness. The spirits are limited to one individual consciousness, but are otherwise given free-reign with one goal. The goal for the spirit is to raise the consciousness level of the human. Once the human's consciousness is at a certain level (I think it depends on the individual), the voices and symptoms will vanish. The spirits may talk to other spirits within the same human consciousness, but they are unable to communicate directly with other humans or beings of higher consciousness. The spirits were given some sort of reward, once their goal was attained.

My guide said that she wanted to stop being my guide because she felt called to help the Confederation with this mess, but when i started working on the mess, she figured she was guiding direct help to the persecuted individuals. She also said that I felt guided to the science of magic because the light had felt less reliable, and she was right. The Zero Point Field felt stable and strong.

I haven't asked the Domain yet why they haven't stepped in to correct the imbalance of the "War," or this awful decision the Confederation made on our behalf, as if we are children. I have a feeling they will tell me that the decision was the balancer, and a strengthening of the light is coming with the discemination of the information that TIs are the solution to the imbalance. Their consciousness raising will inevitably tip the scales to the light.

But they are tasked with something more difficult than I ever was--they have to raise their consciousness while being shamed by voices. They have to find positive perspectives to what must feel like torture to them.

I know that we can either learn from the "carrot," or the "stick," but since when did the stick come with our sovereign rights being violated?

I'm dedicated and devoted to helping this population of people. I will be hosting a weekly discussion/class on different consciousness raising tools and practices I have learned over the years.

I feel angry, but empowered to action by this anger. And, honestly, after I have sat with it for a few days, I also feel hopeful. I know what humans are capable of overcoming. And I know TIs have everything they need to be present with compassion for themselves and others, and get through this.

Still, I'm here to help. As always.

How many people here are married or have a partner ? I am asking because my wife was asking if there was a group for significant others of T.I’s I guess kinda like an Al anon group.

I know I had to put her through some hard times accusing her of witchcraft and stealing my identity and a bunch of other shit .

So although she did not have to actually deal with the phenomenon she was def the main character my ( voices , spirits , demons whatever the hell it was ) was trying to throw under the bus .

So luckily she was able to witness enough that she believed me even though I think she thought I was going a little off the deep end at some points
But I thought it would be a good idea if there was enough people willing/ interested in starting a place where they can basically bitch about us lol .

Hello my friends, a new Parawareness video just dropped on YouTube, Spotify, and Rumble.

Is the term Targeted Individual keeping Experiencers locked into a feedback loop, trapping them in the very identity they are trying to escape?
Tony, Kevin and Sara discuss the TI phenomenon and suggest the term Tethered Individuals could be a more appropriate way to see the phenomenon.

If you support research and healing for Targeted Individuals, Experiencers, or a spiritual perspective, please go support the video by liking, subscribing, and leave a comment!

Sara has been a spirit worker for decades, trained at the South West Institute of Healing Arts. She has also studied psychotherapy, past life regression, and helping autistic/telepathic children.

Kevin created the "12-Step Program for Targeted Individuals" as a framework for overcoming the TI experience, co-founded Parawareness, and is dedicated to helping experiencers everywhere.

For those who experiment with contacts

Perhaps your contact is different, but if your contact is through telepathic communication, visions, and with other humans (who seem normal but respond to your thoughts)...

Since when have you been experiencing this? Does any human openly tell you they do? When I bring up telepathy with mine, they pretend not to notice and change the subject, as if I hadn't said anything. It's the same with any kind of topic—alien, UFO, technological, or otherwise—if it's not the conversation topic they're encouraging, they don't interfere.

It's as if they force you to see that there's human control, but they completely cut you off from the possibility of discussing it. It's not just me; in the MindIntrusion subreddit, a small group of us with the same communication or traits meet, and we're ahead of the curve on the big news of alien existence. We also have surveys and data.

Would you share your experience with me?

This subreddit is great because it's dedicated to our experiences and is open to all of them. Especially those contacted, although I try to find people with the same characteristics as us, only those who communicate.

Have any targeted individuals joined any communities? I’m looking to try to join as they are working on isolating me now
