Encounters with the Fantastic: The AV3X meets the Diviner’s Sage
By Zoe Seven
(Part Three of Five)
At any rate, as I was engaged in this, I noted a slight but strange “buzzing” sound in the background. Upon further inspection I noted that said sound appeared to be originating from inside of me; perhaps it had something to do with my mind’s processing of the experience provided by this new combo, I reasoned. The pulsing effect of the binaural frequencies embedded in the music also began to feel very pronounced: boom-boom-woosh-woosh. These frequencies were dictating the new and modified sense of awareness I was in. The feelings associated with this state of mind were very different than either the technology or the plant on their own. And the strobe-like flashes from the DVD definitively seemed to enhance the overall experience. As all this was taking place my sense of awareness was rapidly becoming one with what I was seeing.
The living room was no longer in existence. It had been replaced by another reality that resembled an underwater one. I was no longer looking at morphing digital fractals but rather at some unique type of life forms. They seemed organic but upon closer inspection they had tiny circuits all around them. The words: “organic,” “circuitry,” and “technology” popped into my head. These life forms seemed intelligent. And unlike the ayahuasca snakes (for more on the shamanic brew ayahuasca please see Back From The Void) which don’t interact with those under the brew’s influence, these creatures were actually seeking to interact with me as they gathered all around. The life forms reminded me of cells of the human body I’d come across on some biology books but they were not “flat” nor round but rather but three-dimensional and wave-like. The reason why I say they were life forms is mainly because of two things: 1) they all had a skin-like membrane which resembled the shinny coats that seals have which had these whitish pock marks, and, 2) although they lacked eyes (which apparently they did not need to either communicate or have their experiences with) I could still relate to them as they were apparently sending forth some type of force field that my consciousness could readily sense, tune in to, and decode as it established a communication link between us. I have since nicknamed these creatures: “organitechs” (as in “organic technologies”). The communication between us was in non-verbal form and similar to the ROTES mentioned by Robert Monroe in his books and which I’ve already described. And although there were no visual pictures in them, I could discern there was a lot of information.
By this time I had been recently speaking out loud during my plant experiences as the consciousness of the plant was apparently, because of my past experiments, fusing with mine creating a sort of hybrid consciousness of the two and using my nervous system and vocal chords in a phenomenon similar to channeling. Therefore I could “speak” the ROTES of information they sent into my consciousness. This is what I have dubbed, “plantspeak.”
