"We used to say: if a frog had side pockets, he'd carry a handgun."
Observations:
- Portals, it seems, are living ethereal creatures, like invisible clouds, that exist on two planes. They absorb and break you, or anything, down to absorb your energy, which is their life-food. Then they excrete you, recomposed, but with less energy, somewhere else. So, while it's relatively safe to pass inanimate objects through them without harm (because the portals seem to reject and pass these objects without alteration), you must be very careful of your personal energy levels any time you decide to use one. I haven't tested the limits, for obvious reasons, but it's entirely probable you could manifest on the other side of a portal stone cold dead.
- Though I lack the equipment to really, truly confirm this, the sensation and behavior of the portals implies to me that they're not clouds but rather swarms of nano-insects, with a hive mind tied permanently to another place, another plane. But when you learn to see tem, they always look like shimmery, floating swirls of fuschia glitter in vaguely spherical formations.
I did once see a black and gray-green one, like tv static. I didn't use it.
- The process itself is painful, initially, if only because it requires a pretty intense level of reality adjustment. Learning to cope with the fact that you'[re being dematerialized and reincarnated. It's a psychological pain, self-imagined. Once I got used to it, I realized I couldn't even feel the process. You jsut have to learn to let go. The more you resist, mentally, the longer the process takes. Which gives me some odd thoughts about the potential will and consciousness of the portals themselves, and who is imposing upon whom.
- The portals are consistent. When you go through one you can turn right around (personal health affording) and go back through it and get "here." And you can always find the same portal in the same spot, as if the "glitter-bugs" are anchored there somehow. The inconsistency, however, has been in the types of "there" to which they transport you. I haven't been able to figure out any rhyme or reason to how far away a particular portal might send you based on their appearance alone.
In fact, some may be sending me not to a "where" but to a "when."
Maybe if I had the means to view them in another way, like sound frequencies or thermal levels, maybe even density. For now, I'm going to do my best to keep a record of the locations and destinations of the portals I've encountered.
- I just woke up, I'll have to revisit all of this later when I'm a bit more coherent.
