/x/ - Paranormal

>>784 (OP) 
I'm not totally agree with this theory, but there a few points I'm in. There are some points that can be explained simpler than that speculative and crazy ideas written in there. It's not so much that we live in an alternative universe where all the shit we interact with was artificially made, but was done by a lot of people new to the Internet. That's the key point. Years ago, surfing on the net was something only nerds or freaks did, but nowadays you're the freak if you don't use it. The Internet is full of normies, people without culture, that use the net as they always have used anything in their lives, as a toy. A toy is something that is given to you, you didn't buy it with your own money (so you won't appreciate it); a toy is something you use when you want and if you don't like it, just criticize it! It's free. 
This is why that oldfag of your link wrote what he wrote. 
Also, all the media, big corps and influential people came here too. It's more the way all these people treat the Internet than a "They Live"-ish thing going on.

Let me comment some things "IlluminatiPirate" from agoraroad said and "cannot be explained":

>I used to be in perpetual contact with a solid number of people across multiple sites. Across the years each and every one of them vanished without a trace. None of them were into /pol/ stuff or anything even remotely questionable or controversial. Yet, they all simply vanished in a puff of smoke, no matter the site, no matter the communication platform. There was no "goodbye" or explanation.

False cause fallacy. Using the same website or either the same account on the site during a lot of time (and I'm talking about a lot of years) It's extremely rare. People change. Their mentality too and so their taste on something. What you like nowadays may not in 5 or 10 years. Or even in a a few months! Or maybe you've had some bad experiences with users of those sites that made you to not come back. It could also be another and totally different scenario: you like what is talked in that site but you've recently found a new/modern-looked site with even more topics you like (so you leave). 

Not saying goodbye or writing a farewell letter doesn't neither justify this. That's more linked with your own values. People are a grab-bag and you won't never know someone thoroughly. It could also be that that person in particular died in an accident, or not, It could also be that he just had to move to another state/country and doesn't have Internet and also his tastes changed by the new people he met there.

> I've seen the same threads, the same pics and the same replies reposted over and over across the years to the point of me seeing it as unremarkable. Simply put thread A would be posted in say 2015 and would get its share of replies or pics, on say /co/ or /a/. Then that very same thread, with the same text, pics, and replies would appear in 2016 and beyond. This often happens in the same year multiple times as well. Of course /pol/ is getting shilled and botposted to death, but why recycle a completely innocent /a/ thread? Who is doing this and why? Stuff like this won't be noticed by your average poster perhaps, but I and other oldfags will inevitably notice it.

>>821
I know that at the beginning of my post I said "(...) there a few points I'm in". Well, We do know that Big Tech have used (and is continue doing it) techniques to steal your most private info to sell it to 3rd parties for money. That's what Google, FB, Twitter, Spotify and many other companies do through using cookies, malicious ads or their own services. Not only with adtech companies, but with the police, intelligent departments or governments. 

You will know what people may desire by just spying them. To control them and doing to buy your products.
This is not /x/ related anymore but, take a look about this if you want:

that's not a theory. that's everything from HBGary to shareblue to jigsaw. don't forged the meme advertising campaigns. monster boomers and joker clowns.
there is a common method used by these hired force meme artists. if you look closely you will notice they meticulously try to make the image look like it was drawn poorly. they draw the color portion first. then they outline it later with black lines. then they go back and intentionally ad line defects. you'll see where they erased part of the line to make it look less consistent or appear as if somebody drew then with an unsteady hand. they will add line offshoots to look like someone rushed it. you'll see a couple deleted pixels to make it appear like somebody colored it in by hand instead of usually a paint tool. in spite of their main efforts, these images look way too clean and it's clear that somebody used photoshop or something to do their best impression of mspaint. it first became apparent with some Hillary pepes that were being spammed. now i see it on a lot of thing like shills misusing the soyboy when somebody is making them look stupid. they are likely trained to respond to challenges with what they believe are board culture insults. they really lean heavily on social pressure and seem oblivious to the fact that anon posts are weighed by their merit. there's not much room for manipulating people away from facts by creating a perception of consensus the way they do on social media.
they have all these "memes" i

Bump

Ultimately, I'd argue the real concern should be less about a "dead internet" where all content is pasted together by bots (although legions of shills do exist, cf. China or ShareBlue).
But rather about sophisticated algorithms that are programmed to subtly drive you into one specific direction or another.

I'm not even arguing these are specific to the government or the lizardpeople or what have you - YouTube makes as much of a buck from people binging on vids that are either in favor or condemning Corona vaccines. Or Facebook. They flatly don't care so long as they can make money off showing people what they want to see. Same business model as the news jesters from Foxnews, CNBC, or what-have-you.

Yet YouTube et. al. don't (primarily) get money from videos getting a certain amount of hits, but from people who want their ads to play during said vids. And if any given corporate giant recognizes people who are into a specific topic have a 1% higher chance to also be interested in another topic that's financially lucrative for them, they will go after that opportunity. That you always see the same stuff ultimately boils down to advertisers trying to keep you in controlled conditions so you can brainwash them with more ads. The fact that they no longer have to rely on time-bound radio broadcasts or TV shows and far stronger analytics make these people positively cream themselves.

Torcello island in Venice's lagoon is host to Attila's Throne - an ancient stone chair named and supposedly sat on by the legendary leader of the Huns that sacked large parts of Roman Italy.

While its connection to the ancient warlord are questionable as the first settlers and the throne itself only arrived on Torcello in the 5th century (between 50 to 100 years after Attila's death), local legends still hold that whoever sits down on the throne will invariably return to Torcello - whether they like it or not.

>>867
will I become attila if I sit on that

>>869
Nope. The curse only means you will eventually return to Torcello.
I wish I could offer something more interesting, but haunted chairs aren't all that common.

They are extremely common in haunted houses, it's the rural reason why some old chairs have hinges on the ends of the legs to nail them down in position.
The urban "or real" reason is to avoid people from moving or stealing them but a conventional family house should have no reason for having them.

Richard L. Thompson's 'Parallels' is a very good book on the UFO phenomenon and its overlap with the Vedic worldview. Some people were talking about ayys over on 16chan's /fascist/ and recommended this to me. Very much worth the read.

>Lue Elizondo, former U.S. Military official that led the U.S. government’s effort to investigate UAP: “Imagine a technology that can do 600-to-700 g-forces, that can fly at 13,000 miles an hour, that can evade radar and that can fly through air and water and possibly space. And oh, by the way, has no obvious signs of propulsion, no wings, no control surfaces and yet still can defy the natural effects of Earth’s gravity. That’s precisely what we’re seeing.”

>Elizondo on explanations for what people are witnessing: “In some cases there are simple explanations for what people are witnessing. But there are some that, that are not. We’re not just simply jumping to a conclusion that’s saying, ‘Oh, that’s a UAP out there.’ We’re going through our due diligence. (...) Ultimately when you have exhausted all those what ifs and you’re still left with the fact that this is in our airspace and it’s real, that’s when it becomes compelling, and that’

Germans aren't the first ayys, but there testimonies about Nordic Nazi Germans who have visited people from time to time.

I'm not really knowledgeable about Slovenia, but was it ever under British (or generally English-speaking) occupation in the aftermath of WWII? If this Larry entity or entities have an English name, it would be par for the course if it had some form of historic precedent.

Do you think it could be some equivalent of the Domovoy watching over you and your friends?

Not OP, but I don't think Domovoys are supposed to leave the house of their family. Or at least not to the extend they randomly show up on a bus.

even if it's fake nothing stops us from theorizing a team, since /x/ does not exist in the cup anyhow

The guy in that thread was just over-excited and posted these everywhere. That's still better outreach than whatever the lads are up to right now, because I had no idea ICUP was still going until I saw this.

>>708
I disagree, in part because we only know very little of our ancients and there's still a ton of stuff to unearth. Another thing that makes me wonder if ancient humans or even a completely different species of hominid had any control over our world is the fact that the time scale we're working with is extremely large. Dr. Stone might be feeding into my delusions, but still.

>>727
The iron itself was a major factor, but so was the introduction of blades/ spear tips that were cast (i.e, mass-produced) instead of forged.
At least in Mycenaean Greece, the idea is that the highly-centralized palace-style economy could only support a small, elite military force; as having too many soldiers too far away from whatever regent you had invariably sparked rebellions.

Now guess what happens if you have some nomadic tribes who have a much larger number of soldiers by virtue that virtually every male owns a weapon and knows how to fight. And guess what happens if these guys just show up and ransack the local "palace" alongside the regent.

In a way, you could liken it to the end of the medieval age, when knights were increasingly replaced by better peasants armed with pikes, crossbows (and, most important) early gunpowder weapons. Heaving heavy armor and a lifetime of training didn't help when some random peasant could just dismount you from your horse with his pike or flatly shoot you in the face with a crossbow.
In the same way, the nomads with Iron weapons destroyed the small warrior elite of the palace culture by means of superior number and superior weaponry.

Depending on where the entire "hacking wars" thing might go, we may even see a new wave by means of collectivized regular citizens doing digital warfare against various government actors.

Sometimes when you're dying the coagulated blood can pool in your eyes in such a way that while still alive they look black. 

But other than that....have fun schizos.

>>530
Wouldn't the blood only coagulate after you're dead?

>>531
No. People get clots all of the time while still alive. Elderly people die from clots all of the time and it's one reason they are put on blood thinners in their advancing years.

Odin stories are about helping travelers because traveling is dangerous. If you don't help messengers and caravans your village becomes isolated and endangers it's self to larger groups of bandits raiding them.

What if the Black-Eyed children were not actually fully black-eyed, but had dilated pupils due to being drugged?
I remember reading one theory according to which the kids are basically victims of trafficking and are heavily sedated by their handles to keep them complacent. I'm neither a doctor nor a psychatrist, but this might explain a) aforementioned dilated eyes and b) their strange, off-tone behavior, and c) their insistence of you letting them into your house/car because they're locked up in the pizza parlor otherwise.

I mean, if these really were some sort of supernatural creatures, I doubt a simple "No" from a regular mortal would suffice to turn them away.

>>458
>Yet observations are of fault, and every step of the twinning with the transcendental community is guilty of assuming the reality of the community in the first place.
Phenomenologicaly speaking, the sphere of intentional objects is the prime reality, and in that sense, observation are correct, because to transcendental subject obervations and reality are one and the same. Assuming there is material universe from which intentional objects are projected, the entire experience is already falsified, elemental particles and laws of physics being the 3rd party. The only non-theological way to connect the experience and a priori assumed reality is to attempt to cross the gap using as few and as small leaps of faith as possible.
>tulpafags, who commit every step of Husserl's proof of community- with themself, and no one else
That is, assuming tulpa does not have a monad of its own.

>>467
>The only non-theological way to connect the experience and a priori assumed reality is to attempt to cross the gap using as few and as small leaps of faith as possible.

I'd go a step further and argue that it's ultimately pointless to wrack your brains over the potential truths that may or may not be there. Consciousness is flawed by design - that's how it is. We can't change that. Best we can do is take what we have and try to find happiness within it, even if it may or may not be illusory.

>>467
At the very best, I could imagine Tulpas are a "shut-off" part of the user's subconsciousness that has a (limited) consciousness of its own. Kind of like how you can run two different programs on the same computer. Or, more bluntly put, a voluntary form of a multiple personality disorder.

>>469
>it's ultimately pointless to wrack your brains over the potential truths that may or may not be there
Denying cognition completely is a self-defeating position, might as well turn to positivism.
>form of a multiple personality disorder
Despite what they usually show in film, multiple personality disorder is not a state when multiple separate concious minds coexist at the same time in one body, but rather an occurence of single conciousness believing itself to assume a different identity, usually accompanied by dissociative amnesia, a rather extreme cause of roleplaying.

>but rather an occurence of single conciousness believing itself to assume a different identity, usually accompanied by dissociative amnesia, a rather extreme cause of roleplaying.
That was sloppy wording on my part. The different "personalities" in someone suffering from MPD ultimately are part of the same consciousness - in the sense that they could not know something the main personality does not know unless its stored in the subconsciousness.

My point is that Tulpas as they are (probably) are not supernatural entities, but simply a psychological malfunction. A child's "invisible friend" for adults.

>>442 (OP) 
Why worry if others exist? If they truly exist, then those who are worth it, should be treated well and with the respect they deserve. If they do not really exist, then treat them the same respect, but understand that they are illusory figures, and do not grow attached.

Dreams as a whole are an extremely easy and vastly underrated gateway to /x/ stuff.

>Why do we have them?
Dreams are the link between conscious and subconscious, they absolutely have a prophetic aspect, but most people don't realize just how prophetic they really are. If you can identify what creatures, things, and events happen in your dreams, they can correspond to how your day in the waking world will unfold.

Dream diaries are nice for remembering dreams, but having a dictionary helps immensely.

If you know how to remember and "view" your old dreams, you can even change the dream you had last night to influence how your day will go today.

>Sleep paralysis
Many say it can be used as a gateway to astral projection, and that kind of thing is a "depending on the person" type of deal. I had a sleep paralysis episode that I thought I was still awake, got out of my bed, and then it turns out I was in a lucid dream which looked like a teal-blue victorian-era hallway that was filled with darkness.

>Shadow figures

I keep having this dream every couple of months.

>It's night
>I'm in my living room
>try to turn a light on
>none of the switches work
>or if they do, the light is very dim, flickering, and goes out in 10 seconds
>always feel a sense of urgency to turn the lights on
>always feel watched

Is there any deeper meaning than me being apparently afraid of the dark?

>>364
My guess you probably have fears of the unknown, and/or fears of losing the truth to liars.

Not sure if that's exactly what you think the fear of dark means, but it's just my spitballing.

If you want to recall more dreams, you should keep a dream journal. Just get a blank notebook and write the date and the dream in first person present tense (i.e. "I see a bioluminescent afro-american federal agent")
Do not analyze the dream as you are writing it down or fill out the blanks if you don't remember something.

If you want to achieve more lucid dreams or Out-of-Body Experiences/Astral projections, you should have a regular sleep schedule and don't drink alcohol/coffee, use drugs or take melatonin because if you are too deep in sleep, you won't either have lucid dreams and OBEs or you won't remember them. One of the methods to induce a lucid dream/OBE is to sleep for a few hours (say 3 hours) and setup an alarm. Once the alarm goes off, get out of the bed for like 5-10 minutes and then go back to sleep.

Also, I want to point out that clairvoyance and precognition are real and anyone can learn to do it, at least to some extend.

I've had dreams that predict shit that would later happen many times throughout my life, shit's weird but I'm used to it. Never really important stuff, just things that I would think back, "oh yeah, I dreamt about X last night, and Y happened today." I've had spooky shit happen in my dreams that felt fictional (which is fun because you can have power fantasies similar to the OP) but also spooky shit that "feels real" - these feel somehow malicious and caused by other entities and I can't explain it, but I think they are demons trying to fuck with people while they sleep. The one or more I'm thinking of have to do with shapeshifting and imitating people or animals you are familiar with to get close to you. In one case I also saw something while waking, going through the wall above my bed after laughing at me. When these dreams happen now I pray to God for protection and it seems to work. I don't get the shit scared out of me and I wake up calmer. I've only had maybe 4 or 5 in my life of those malicious-feeling nightmares, hopefully never again. I've only had a spooky sleep paralysis experience once or twice, but it didn't feel the same way, so I assume those were all in my head getting psyched out. I've also had a couple uneventful sleep paralysis. I don't think I want to invite whatever into my dreams for fear of what could happen, so I'm not interested in more than lucid dreaming for playful reasons like having more dreams where I can fly or do o
