Thank you Nether, an inspired post! Yes I started all this stuff after a fiery being paid me a visit.
Seriously guys, it was like 'nothing!' you've ever seen on Earth, not even the best special effects from our movies will make the cut.
Imagine a flame floating in the air in front of you, and yet simultaneously its a portal and an alien being can stare out at you from within. And all this time there's wave after wave of particulate golden "energy" pulsing out from it.
And you can't move, you're paralysed, and then some golden white beams shoot out from the center portal and it begins to scan your body.
You're terrified, you say "Okay let me move, I've had enough!" But it doesn't go away, its a really persistent illusion. So you mentally tell it you're afraid and after a few moments it dissolves back into the ether, like it wasn't there.
You're fully awake, and its not a dream. You grab your iPad and begin to draw...you think, did I just see an angel? An alien? A celestial being? A soul? Myself?
Maybe we will never know.
