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.

    Because there doesn’t seem to be cosmic-scale object that looks like this. Epistemological aspect of this information is important, because it will inform us if it’s just mind playing tricks or a real phenomenon.

    How did you acquire this knowledge?

    Edit: Have you consulted with a doctor about this? Knowledge doesn’t just appear in your head. People usually read, watch or hear something and form new knowledge based on the experience.

      Lol artists conduit stuff like this all the time and don’t need to see doctors about it. One could make a case that it’s like dreams connect different memories in your subconscious to process them to build a new connection. Or how problems get solved at work, gather enough context and one day you’re doing something else and it all clicks. It’s a normal thing, you just probably don’t recognize it as well.

        The important distinction is when artists “conduit” stuff like this, they can easily discern fact from fiction; reality from fantasy. When they imagine a spaceship or an alien they know that those things aren’t real.

        A doctor would help you asses if you have trouble, differentiating thoughts that are based on reality and those that aren’t. Human minds are little shits that lie, and some people have trouble seeing past those lies. Doctors have devised methods to help those people.

          Well all through humanity’s history there’s knowledge that “imagination” molds “reality” so the difference is do you make a fantasy story of a truth you received from creativity etc etc

          There’s no trouble here, it’s not like schizophrenics hearing sounds that aren’t there or seeing stuff interacting with the current matrix environment they’re in or how DMT folks travel to whatever domains.

          Just the similar thing where you remember where you left your keys

            Schizophrenia has pre-halucination phase that isn’t that severe. As I love all humans I am concerned about your wellbeing. As they say prevention is better than cure. I would love for you to seek a doctor and get a diagnosis that there is nothing wrong with you, than for you to end up couple of years from now in mental facility.

        I wouldn’t say it’s “conduiting” or whatever. I visualise stuff and then take a whole pile of steps to turn that into something. Sometimes it’s like an epiphany but I’m not of the belief that it’s something just being inserted into my mind.

        When artists imagine new things, they don’t generally ask people what those things are as if they must be a thing that really exists in the real world.

        The animation you created does resemble something I’ve seen in, I think, a sci fi movie (I don’t recall which). I’ve also seen, in real life, small desktop models resembling this (again I can’t point you something specific, but I’m picturing it in brass). It reminds be somewhat of an astrolab, like https://p.turbosquid.com/ts-thumb/lT/AyGkQ1/TldU6igf/screenshot007/png/1546795156/1920x1080/fit_q87/55f4c2758f661655600a70a3859a1a46059d73cd/screenshot007.jpg but I’m pretty sure I’ve seen something that more closely resembles your animation.

          It reminds me of the ftl core in “event horizon” it also throws the ship through hell (literally).

            Also, I believe the jump ships in Foundation have these for their jump cores or whatever.

            There’s also at least one of these in the Elder Scrolls video games.

            Its a common set of rings designed artistically to represent a complex, and practically magical object. Likely inspired by things like an orrery and other objects designed to track the orbits of the planets of our solar system.

          Asking is probably not usual. Some scientists do their thesises through seeing the result first. It’s different to imagine something internally than to “go to”/“get” something else, the latter being something that someone else knows as well rather than self-born. Although I guess one could expand to the thought that everything internal ultimately is everything external yada yada
