I made a blender model and animation of this thing I experienced to show how it looks like and moves, and to use that as a way to find out if someone knows what it is, where or why. I don’t know much more and am wondering what others know based on their encounters. It’s somewhere at some time, seems huge. The discs are flattish and don’t reflect light other than from the edges. I’ve tried posting in a few communities and get mostly aggravated answers, or overtly focusing on how I got this knowledge (almost like I’ve done something forbidden when it’s not an aspect I care about), and one got modded hidden.

    You say that you “experienced” this, alright, I think we need more context.

    Can you describe the experience?

      Not really. Some very mundane part of regular life I have no recollection of.

      The same way we experience new information/knowledge. First you didn’t know and then suddenly you do.

        No, that’s not how we experience new information. We see it. With our eyes. Did you see this with your eyes?

          We experience things in many ways. You see stuff with your eyes open or closed, you touch things in the same space as you, and your whatever soul/spirit has it’s own ways of experience that are not tied to the immediate matrix bounds

              Aphantasia here as well, at least with active, intentional, picturing. But practicing has made progress and that’s why a clear experience from elsewhere is super interesting

                If you have aphantasia, could it be that you imagined those rings and you just don’t know how imagination feels? Something like “Is my red the same as your red?”, most people know how imagination works, but you don’t know how to interpret it?

                  I kinda get what you’re going for

                  My imagination with aphantasia is non visual contexts. Meditation, kinda like passive “imagination”/intuition/receiving from the source can modify that if you’re doing like a guided thing or add intent (“golden light/purple aura” stuff)

                  This entity/object is a different kind. Clear, less of a projected image and more like a this is how it is if you’d be there.

                  For another commenter I mentioned like remembering where you put your keys

            soul/spirit has it’s own ways of experience

            to achieve that insight it takes years of meditative practice, it doesn’t just happen on it’s own. That insight happens during action of meditation, just as we take action of seeing.

              Yeah years of practice sounds right adding up but I don’t associate this immediately with meditative states or purposeful cosmic traveling stuff. Kind of a blink during something else

          I guess some call it intuition or seering or fucking astral projection I don’t know. It’s not a self made thought or creative thinking. Something that comes somewhere autonomously, be it collective unconscious or traversing to this place where it is or whatever. Some scientists probably understand the phenomenon better, I’m just wondering the purpose of details

            To be honest, this sound a bit like you had something like an epiphany, where you mind has been working on a problem in the background and suddenly it all seems to make sense.

            However since you don’t know what it means, I don’t know if calling it an epiphany is correct.

            I don’t know what the pattern means, but something that might help is to talk about it less as an experience, and more of an unusual brain fixation, it might help you talk about it without being dismissed as a weird UFO guy.

            I hope you will get some clarity of what it might represent, though keep in mind that it might not represent anything, and fixation on it will cause it to appear more important than it actually is.

              That’s how some describe it. And yeah that’s the point, it’s not connecting the dots of previous research, it’s getting “result” without the problem.

              Not really fixated on this. It was a quick exercise to produce a file. But nothing is so unique that someone else wouldn’t know more and that’s where the internet could be useful

              If it’s not meant to explain now further, then maybe it does some other time, no worries

            If I had images or thoughts appearing in my head without me doing it, or if I was hallucinating geometric patterns, I would be making an appointment with my doctor REAL QUICK.

              Ehh, sometimes it’s just light intuition. Don’t touch the stove because it’s hot. Recognize what the body and mind is noticing and the skill gets honed.

              It’s not like hallucinations or something like with people who have medical issues. Just the run of the mill human ability, sometimes lesser, this time suddenly more.
