Sorry, if I’m missing questions, guys, if I don’t answer your question, you can go ahead and try to get it in a few times. I get a lot of different questions in here and the chat starts moving quick.

I do not believe that all these creatures come from the same place but if you’ve been all changelings, I imagine Yes. I imagine Yes.

I don’t know I’m I mean some of them come from a place you might call a different universe. But I’m not exactly sure

someone said good morning from Australia. Happy to have you there.

I don’t know about cannibals turning into rakes. Someone asked me about about when to goes before I always mentioned that my information is primarily on creatures from Europe. I don’t really have that much information about things indigenous to the United States.

Hello in Texas Ray Ray. Nice to see you

Jacob Hello Jacob.

 Okay. I do not know if they live forever

Kim thank you so much for the gift I really appreciate the gift as you guys are awesome

I would recommend you don’t become a vampire

hello in Denmark always happy to get people from different places.

I tried to go live at different times so that people in different places who miss my previous lives can catch so hopefully I got a bunch of new guys here.

 Thank you see bears you gifters are awesome.

I love you guys. You helped me out a ton.

These creatures here were not in the US. This was a dungeon that was located in Europe. I do believe I know where it was. It is a ruin now, but I don’t give that away.

Thank you Christine for the rose. I really appreciate you.

I don’t give it away for reasons I’ll get into as we continue through the book.

Thank you, Carl, for the ghost. You’re awesome. I really appreciate you gifters you guys rule.

How did I become involved in learning this

thank you

it was because I inherited this house that I’m living in now from my estranged grandmother. And basically

Thank you sock monkey. Thank you.

So in your case, I found all of this information within the house hidden underneath in in a trunk filled with books and tools and all kinds of stuff. I have the whole journey on my page. You can look you can look up when when we’re done. You can check out the whole story. It’s all available there.

Vampires are Real you would not love to become one it’s not like the movies.

This thing here is what is referred to as the reanimated. You can almost think of this as the closest thing to Frankenstein. But it is still pretty different. These creatures are brought back to live

Thank you Steve.

Steven appreciate the gift are so much.

I do believe in aliens personally, but I don’t have anything in here about aliens.

Thank you Alex.

Thank you ace on your case. You guys are awesome.

You gifters are just too like I appreciate you guys more than you can now. Okay, let me this the reanimate he is not wearing armor as I was saying these things are created through a combination of occult sorcery and crude technology.

Thank you, Carl so much.

And Alex, today’s on your case, you guys are awesome.

Thank you time is now the reanimated as I was saying there are a combination of different things. The idea is something like necromancy resurrecting the dead. But at this point in history, it seems that whoever was involved in this kind of stuff, was trying to streamline the process to use technology. Not only technology, obviously, but to try to make it easier.

This one here is I would consider a test subject. Because I have reports of things that are much more monstrous, much larger, multi limbed animal parts. Whereas this one seems like it could barely move and likely had no senses. This was a test just to see what could be done.

I always say this is the one thing that was held in the dungeon that I really, I really feel completely sorry, for. I do imagine that some of these things are still around today. But a lot of them were wiped out. I believe that people like my ancestors and the sons of man, were very good at their job that said you do you do still see videos and images and things of creatures.

You can find them here on tick tock. I’ve posted some videos going over more recent, more recent sightings. But there are like I said, there are still some reports of like dog men of mermaids of rakes, and people say skinwalkers but they probably mean changelings, things like that.

Someone’s that?

Have they ever fought with humans things like this? Yes. I don’t mean the Templar Order. It was called the sons of man. I don’t know if they have relation with the Knights Templar. But that is the order within the Catholic Church that hunted these things that ran this dungeon. I have been contacted from people that I believe are the sons of man, I have videos going over it. But I have stopped taking blocked calls. So anybody who’s trying to reach me who’s not willing to be open, I don’t I don’t communicate with

don’t know if these things were controlled by the people

that made them, they seem to have some level of independence. But you know, there probably was some stuff.

One thing that our generation did well, one thing that our generation then mastered is how to spread information to how to manifest. If our generation did do nothing for history, putting the word manifestation out more is spreading different ways to manifest has been spread at most by us Gen Z. He’s interesting. The young ones, even the grazers we love, but we was not off. It was not off this come all the way from the 1800s. Nikola Tesla said it best. is what actually happens when you meditate.

Meditation is a conscious practice of observing reality objectively without thoughts, judgments or emotions. This is done by controlling your conscious awareness and your conscious attention.

Okay, losing weight can be hard so here’s how I lost 30 I think it’s us

This is how you figure out your purpose right now this message came out of nowhere. So make sure you listen to this and save it because this is 1,000% going to change your entire life. Want you to ask yourself one crucial question. One very, very, very important question.

What if you were living your purpose right now? What if your purpose wasn’t a destination, but it was a journey?

And what if instead of seeking to get to the top of the mountain, you realize the climbing it was the whole point of why you started in the first place.

I got a message from your grandmother. Okay. My name is Marguerite, Mildred. Amy and Annie. My lifetime is Carter. Okay, you’re going to see somebody in a costume. I know that is not Halloween. But this person has a performance or something. They have a performance that they’re going to have some kind of show, they could be on a train, they could be getting out of an Uber or something like whatever they have their own. Okay, this will be a sign for you. You’re also going to find a bunch of change you’re going to be see seeing feathers, you may see an elephant somewhere like a picture of a significant elephant. Your grandmother wants you to know that she’s handling your Mom, don’t worry about that.
