I'm curious on the latter part of my experience if anyone has experienced this entity.

It started when I took 6.5g of Blue Teacher mushrooms. The come-up was extremely intense. Almost immediately, I started seeing overwhelming patterns and geometric shapes layered over everything around me. The body sensation was incredibly strong too. so strong that I found myself squirming on the ground as the experience took over.

At one point, it felt like the empty space around me wasn’t actually empty. The air itself seemed to be made up of interconnected octagonal shapes, all linked together in a living three-dimensional structure. When I moved my body through the space, the geometry reacted to it, almost like I was passing through some invisible energetic fabric. The shapes weren’t static, they felt alive.

Before the entity encounters began, I had another overwhelming realization: all material matter appeared to be made from a single continuous line. Everything around me; my desk, the walls, my hands, seemed to be formed from this endless flowing thread that folded into different shapes to create physical reality. I couldn’t tell where the line began or ended. It felt like all matter was part of one connected structure.

Eventually, I encountered what I can only describe as a mantis-like entity. Reaching this moment felt significant, almost like I had finally made it through the difficult part of the trip and had “earned” entry into another space or room.

The mantis entity didn’t speak or move much. It simply stared at me for what felt like a long time. Strangely, the experience wasn’t threatening at all. Its presence felt calm, observant, and almost parental, like a parent admiring their child. Even though it never verbally communicated, I somehow understood its intent emotionally. I vaguely remember it wearing some kind of dark grey or black robe or garb, though the details are blurry now. Eventually, it faded as my attention shifted elsewhere.

After that, I entered what felt like another room entirely, but this one felt cozy, familiar, and strangely comforting. There I encountered another entity that felt completely different from the mantis. This being felt like someone I had known forever, like an old friend.

It had a bulbous head, grey skin, large black eyes, and no visible mouth. It resembled the stereotypical “grey alien,” but emotionally it didn’t feel alien at all. It felt warm, playful, and deeply familiar. It was wearing a hoodie with no pants, which somehow made the whole experience feel even more absurd and personal.

The entity joked around with me, busted my balls, and made me feel incredibly comfortable and understood. At one point, I asked its name, and immediately the answer came back:

“Danny.”

Over time, Danny showed me visuals and ideas that felt deeply meaningful in the moment, though most of them became impossible to remember or explain afterward. My friend was nearby and sober, but I couldn’t properly communicate what I was experiencing because it felt beyond language.

The clearest message Danny gave me was simple:

“Stop trying to figure it out and just experience life.”

I know the Mantis encounter is actually pretty common, but has anyone else encountered a being that it felt like they knew you and were possibly an extension *of* you?
