The Trickster and Anomalous Phenomena 

Yeah this and Beyond Creepy. There's real research and passion in these two. There's so much second and third rate stuff though.

RU-vid’s algorithm isn’t made for a brilliant channel like this

So true . 🤠🖖♨️

I actually hope it stays that way, I don't want an influx of blind sheep ruining such great content. Bedtime Stories is on the verge of flipping over into 12 year old "ha ha is funny" / "so scary u guise" content now that they've begun to cater to Ballen and Paulides fan sheep.

​@@21stCenturyDubNever heard of Beyond Creepy, what's it about?

Hmmm, how typical and non-anomalous ;3

Thanks for your support! I hope you enjoyed the video.

That might be true, it might not want us to know _what_ it is, but it does want us to explore the possibilities. Otherwise, why would they do it? It/they are making us see and experience these bizarre things. If they didn't want us to know, they would leave us alone or act in a more covert manner.

You are correct and the other Commenter is too . We Humans don't know everything, even though some think we are SO superior ... we just know it ALL. NOT! Take care my friend. 🤠🖖♨️

​​@@perhapsyes2493Great Comment , so true . 🤠🖖♨️

Humans are merely animals like every other sentient being on the planet. If there are beings messing with us we are naturally going to be as bewildered as wild animals who may receive care or have a tracker placed on them for conservation efforts. Once we reject human exceptionalism (which is a baseless and untennable philosophical position to hold in the first place), we can see the truth of the matter. We are simply slightly cleverer chimpanzees getting all worked up over the smarter kids on the block, or maybe even getting worked up over nothing at all.

@@perhapsyes2493 That begs the question as to why though. What would *any* intelligence (particularly one as powerful as this one seems to be) have to gain spending its time being so careful in spurring a civilization's progress while going out of its way to keep that very civilization from realizing it exists at all? It's almost as if, in a weird sort of way, our progress *is* their progress.

Doesn’t post often enough to get there quickly I don’t think. But absolutely deserves to anyway. Hopefully will soon

Thanks for the kind words! This was probably the most difficult video I've ever made, but it was worth it - I learned a lot, and I hope you did too.

Wow! Thanks! I'm glad you appreciate the videos.

Very interesting story, thanks for sharing that. A cousin of mine has had many anomalous experiences in his life, but one involved little mechanical spiders crawling all over his room at night. He tried to crush them, but they would regain their shape after being squished, as if they were made up rubber. He ran to his parents room but couldn't wake them. I don't even know what to do with stories like these. How do we categorize them? How can we even begin to understand what they mean?

Love the videos

Damn homie stop goin places

Warzone ??? Or massacre zone ??

@@alexmartin3143 i was giving humanitarian aid to both Palestinians and Israelis with doctor without borders. I’m not a doctor, but I was helping out with the logistics behind it all.

@@leviathantoobz Bless you, keep spiraling out

Yes, V. R. Laurence has done some amazing work over the years.

What did you experience? How has it changed you?

Agreed. It's a tough concept you really wrap your head around, and it doesn't necessarily provide a lot of "answers," per se, but it really gives you a new way to think about anomalous experiences that provides some kind of a logic to them.

like what? what is your theory and experience? You just described a sleep paralysis event

@@Kristopherberry I've had sleep paralysis a few times. Completely different. Just hold your breath and it breaks you out in seconds. I'll give you a quick example. I was in my apartment. Sitting in my room with my door open. I hear walking coming down my hallway and I instantly thought. It's my roommate. So I wait a sec or two and expect him to walk in and say hi. So wait. Then all the sudden instead of my roommate a old lady with blond hair peeks into my room. It was so unexpected that I didn't say anything. I was thinking. Oh a old person wondered into the wrong apartment. She was looking at the opposite wall from where I was sitting. I watched her scan my stuff. She had bright blue eyes. Just looked like a typical old person. So after about 5 secs. I'm getting ready to ask her if she needs help. Just then she looks at me. Her eyes widen in surprise. She leans back out into the hallway. I get up immediately. Less then a sec I'm at the door and I peek out. She is still there. I'm looking down and I'm about to ask if she needs help. Just then I noticed she had invisible legs knees down. I could see the rug where her legs should be. This is daytime btw. Anyways. I look back up and start to put together what is happening. She shrugs at me and FLOATS. Not walk floats backwards still looking at me and turned invisible about 6 feet away. I slam the door in freight. Pure freight. I sit down and feel my heart slap against my ribcage. Then all the sudden. Everything got loud. Like during the whole thing I didn't notice any sound till I heard her walking towards my room. Once I sat down. All the birds outside, the TV. It's like I was def when the event happened and now I could hear again. Also I noticed just before I saw her I knew something was way off and it's wasn't my roommate. Only a spit sec before she leaned in. I posted my full story on Reddit a few times looking for others that experience the same thing. Anyways a few years later and I saw a UFO about 2 hundred feet of the ground. It was just cruising by and I noticed immediately the no sound thing. It's like when something so strange happens. It's like your body knows to just look. You somehow know to drop everything and look at this spot something incredible is going to happen. It's like some force that makes you stare and not hear anything. I've talked with other online and that's when I found people that noticed there is no sound and just before whatever paranormal event happens. You get this spit second knowing something is incredibly off. Hope that helps. I'm not special. I don't believe I'm a medium or a psychic. I'm barley spiritual. I just noticed a feeling before strange things happen. And talking to others online I been reading others noticed it too just before whatever happened to them. I believe it's true a alien abductees could prob feel it when they are coming.

@@MURD3RWAVE That’s incredible! Could you share the link to your chat? I want to know more about this stuff. I have heard this before. People who have had near death experiences have later seen ufo’s. It’s like you guys tap into something. The only thing I have ever experienced is feelings from people without them saying a word or dreams that later come true. Thank you for sharing. I want to know more

I've been reading bob Monroe and I've been thinking that perhaps there is no sound because the experiencer is actually having an out of body experience and just not noticing it (you don't need to float away from your body)

@@farquoi no. I don't. It's just like normal. Except a feeling I have a hard time putting into words. It's like sound dims to nothing. Then a feeling of awe that turns to dread. It sucks because I get why people think others are making stories up. I used to think the same thing. In all honesty. There is something that is out there and when it interacts with you it feels so wrong. Like it's a shotgun blast to your world view. I say a ghost and a UFO in my life. I consider the ghost the worst because I watched her. She made steps walking to my room. That's what caught my attention to look at my door and expect my roommate. This happened about 8 years ago. I think about it all the time. She made noises. So they have a psychical effect on the world. I watched her look around my room. So she was thinking about something. Then when she shrugged at me. I felt it was a oh you caught me. I wasn't expecting you either. Then to watch a human being float backwards and vanish. It's so messed up! The UFO thing was a fluke. I was stuck in traffic. We all saw it. Only for a few secs. But it was a machine floating in the air. Like I said. Both times just a split sec before. I felt something super important was about to happen. Sound was gone compared during the event. So odd. Keeps me up at night when I think about why. And also why me. Why do I have to know. It's so annoying to hear people disrespect what I saw.

Thanks for the kind words! The book is a fairly difficult read - heavy on the details and light on the summing up - but it contains a lot of important insights. I had never heard of the Emilcin abduction before, but it sounds fascinating. Thanks for the recommendation!

@@ThinkAnomalous The Kera UFO encounter(s) also just came to mind, that one’s also a pretty interesting case.

Maybe they were giving themselves pep talks all along?

Angels are a different beast altogether. They are under strict orders to keep their interventions at a minimum in order to preserve human free will and faith. It'd be pointless for God to demand faith from us if the existence of the spirit world was as self evident as water.

Thanks! I think Hansen would be a fascinating guy to talk to.

I'm not sure myself if the trickster is an actual spirit or autonomous agent, or if it's just a model for understanding anomalous phenomena. Either way, I believe that it helps our understanding to think in terms of the trickster.

​@@ThinkAnomalous Something that has always bothered me is why do a physical thing when doing something entirely within someone's mind is far more cost effective in terms of energy spent? It's almost never entirely one or the other but a combination of the 2.

Don't get too exicted, this might be his last upload this year 🤷🏽‍♂️

Why?​@@antoniogreen9176

I wish I could upload faster, but one video every 2 - 3 months is the best that I can do.

Thanks for the kind words! And great connection with the sheep story. It's a funny one.

You're welcome! Thanks for watching.

Thanks! I love V. R. Laurence's work. We're so lucky to have her.

Hope you enjoyed it!

Thanks for saying so!

I found the book to be a pretty challenging read. I also started reading it once a year ago and gave up. He really buries you in details and doesn’t do a lot in the way of summing up. I feel that the book could have been better presented, but the points he made are really important. I feel as though my understanding of anomalous phenomena grew significantly after reading this book - I haven’t felt that way about a book since reading Jacques Vallee’s stuff years ago.

​@@ThinkAnomalousHave you thought about getting into a mystical tradition in order to learn how to contact these beings directly?

I see now: all of your prior content was leading up to this connection of dots. If these entities are trans-dimensional shit-stirrers, I wonder why it is that supposed recovered alien spacecrafts are of a dense material to be manipulated by 3rd dimensional desires of low vibratory fleshes. It is the claim that they are powered psionically... There is an overlap we cannot grasp.

Thanks!

You don't have one

@dietisgreat well maybe not anymore after forcing her to watch ufo videos with me

I won't be doing this channel forever, but I've got another year or two of videos in me, at least.

😂 🖖

Wow you're so original, haven't seen this comment a billion times this week

@@LanceBeckmanthat’s usually the case on the internet. People just repeating stupid played out things just for reactions from others

Thanks for saying so! I'm really proud of this video, and I learned so much in doing the research for it. Everyone who's interested in anomalous phenomena should be familiar with the trickster archetype and its connections with anomalous phenomena.

Thanks!

Cool! Thanks.

You're welcome! I hope you enjoyed the video.

Well put!

Thanks so much for the kind words! I'm really proud of this video, and I'm very glad to know that people are connecting with it. I learned a lot in the process of researching this one, and it's really helped advance my own understanding of anomalous phenomena. I'm just trying to pass on a little bit of what I've learned to the wider community of anomalists.

I hope you enjoyed it!

Amen to that.

Thanks so much for watching! You post some really interesting videos yourself.

@@ThinkAnomalous Thanks very much... hugely admire your work, I'd love to connect further sometime. All the very best!!

Thanks Diana, and thanks for your generous donation. I'm glad you're enjoying my videos!

I hadn't heard of this tradition, but thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Thanks! And me too!

Glad you enjoyed the video! I learned a lot in the process of researching it, and I'm glad that other people are connecting with it.

Thanks for saying so! I'm glad to hear that people are connecting with the video. It was a very difficult one to make, but I learned a lot in the process, and I hope that others learn a lot from watching it.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks!

Thanks! I learned a lot researching this one.

Thanks for saying so!
