CARD: Nine of Dreams DECK: Blood Moon Tarot
Hello, fellow weirdos & dreamers!
Welcome to the October Interstellar Transmission!
The quantum theme for October is ”how fear stories distort reality perception”—particularly as it connects to our contact experiences.
(And as you might remember from last month: “it’s all contact.”)
FEAR. It’s a doozy.
Welcome to Spooky Season.
But first…

OCTOBER INTERSTELLAR TRANSMISSION
WRITTEN
I'm going to continue with the discussion we've been having for the last couple of months. The next thing I'll be talking about, and spending time with this month, is the subject of fear, subconscious fears, and unconscious fears.
The card guiding the discussion this month is the Nine of Dreams from the Blood Moon Tarot, which is also the Nine of Swords.
So here we are again, in the realm of dreams and cognition. How can we trust our perception of the sense data coming through our filters? How do we interpret raw data, and can we always trust our interpretations?
The beauty of being human is our ability to tell stories. The challenge of being human is knowing which stories to believe. All of reality is a story. We are constantly telling, editing, distorting, interpreting, and perceiving. All stories can be rewritten, and all interpretations are up for debate. How, then, can we ever know what’s real?
Another challenge of being human is that we are not always aware of how raw data is being filtered, sorted, interpreted, and organized by our perception filters. This is something science calls the Reticular Activating System (RAS)*. I’m going to get nerdy for a second, so bear with me.
The RAS is so good at its job that we don’t even know it’s doing a job. We think we are simply receiving reality as it is, objectively. We stop at a red light and go at a green light—simple. Except it’s actually not. Millions of bytes of raw sense data (light, vibration, etc.) come in through our sense perceivers like eyes and ears, and are interpreted by the RAS. The RAS is a highly refined processing system in our brains that checks incoming data against everything we know, everything we’ve ever experienced, and everything we believe (consciously and unconsciously). This process happens so rapidly, we don’t even know it’s a process.
So, while sitting at that red light, you might blink 10 to 20 times. You don’t perceive those black screens because your RAS knows to edit them out, making your experience of reality smooth and seamless. There may have been other irrelevant sensory data filtered out by the RAS, as it wasn't necessary to notice at that moment.
Imagine that some sensed data didn't align with your belief systems. For example, a spirit guide, a soft voice of intuition, or a UFO. Your RAS would say, "Unnecessary information," and hit delete before it reached your conscious awareness.
This is why my talk about reality, perception, and filters isn’t just abstract—it’s based in actual neuroscience.
All reality is literally filtered through each human’s RAS. Perception of reality is based on factors like past experiences, future predictions, and belief systems. This is important because it helps us understand that much of how we experience the world is determined by what we already believe, often on a subconscious level. Anything that doesn’t match pre-established belief systems is simply deleted, unbeknownst to our conscious minds.
Most of our belief systems are subconscious, if not unconscious. This means that what we call reality is a filtered interpretation of raw sensory data. We’re not experiencing reality as it is, but rather as we are. This is why no two people experience the same reality.
I’m talking about this today because I want to explore something that has a profound effect on our perception of reality: our subconscious and unconscious fears. Most of us think we know what our fears are, but our deepest fears can be unknown to us. Many fear programs were installed into our consciousness when we were pre-verbal, inherited from caregivers, ancestors, genes, and social systems. These fear programs were installed before we could even talk.
Because of this, we often don’t know we are experiencing reality through a filter created by our subconscious fears. These fears are so deep because there wasn’t a single moment in time we can look back to and say, “That’s when I first got this fear.” The fear was simply a part of our personal, familial, and social environment. To our developing brains, this fear was indistinguishable from reality itself. Our conscious minds had no clue this fear filter was being established, and everything coming in through the RAS was run through that fear filter before it hit our conscious awareness. We perceived the fear story as reality itself.
This is why there are so many fear stories in the contact space—abduction, government conspiracies, evil entities, scary reptilians. Our culture is filled with them. Most contact mythology is fear-based, as it runs through cultural fear filters. Making this even more convoluted is that most contact happens on the subconscious level. If those subconscious fears haven’t been witnessed, it’s likely that contact itself will be distorted as it runs through them. Benign and benevolent contact can be distorted to appear malevolent.
Navigating contact is tricky. You must be willing to stay with yourself when your fears arise. Gently and lovingly question any fear stories and responses. When you have established a conscious contact pathway and set boundaries (simply by stating or imagining it), all contact is benevolent. Energies that don’t match that vibration won’t even find your conscious contact pathway. If you have a frightening contact experience after boundaries are in place, it’s likely a distortion caused by subconscious fears.
It’s not easy to move through. I still find my own contact experiences frightening. I’m still navigating my subconscious fears. Even though I understand what’s happening intellectually, my energetic system holds the imprint of fear, embedded before I could even talk. My contact experiences are often quite distorted.
Lyssa Royal Holt calls this part of the contact map the "Fear and Pain Band," where we face all our subconscious fears. Moving through it is a process that doesn’t happen overnight. In a recent workshop with Lyssa, I ask asked Sasha, a Pleiadian entity channeled by Holt, what I could do about this. Sasha said there’s no specific map to follow, but to relax into the fear and not fight it. The more you surrender to the fear, the more likely you’ll move through the Fear and Pain Band, and your contact experiences will become less distorted.
I’m still working through the Fear and Pain Band because of the fear stories embedded in me from childhood. Some people may not find their fear distortions as intense, but I was raised with the cosmology of devils and demons. I don’t consciously believe in them, but those distortions are so deeply embedded that contact can sometimes feel evil, even though I know it’s not. When I’ve stayed with the fear, I’ve begun to break through to the other side.
This work requires us to face our deepest fears, and it’s not for everyone. But if you feel called to it, it’s for you. There’s no rush. Contact will resume when your system is ready. Not all contact is intense or terrifying—there are degrees and gradients. Seeing our deep fears is a gift because it’s an opportunity to transform our perception of reality.
Above all, when it comes to contact work, we are not victims. It’s time to rewrite the victim-abduction story. We are conscious, consensual participants in the contact journey, and we are responsible for our perception of the contact experience.
I have more to say on this, but I’ll leave it here for now. This month, I’ll share more about subconscious fear filters and offer tools and practices to help rewrite fear stories.
Thank you for reading!
*Please note: I have over-simplified the RAS for brevity’s sake but this is something I plan to go much deeper on in the future. Plus it makes for a fun Google or YouTube search!
