I’m in awe of your experience. Recently, ants have become relevant to my mine as well. Yesterday, a group of them found their way onto my kitchen counter--many years of having them as pesky housemates have given me an opportunity to see them as my equal rather than inferior scavengers.
I decided to blur my vision while staring at them, a technique I’ve learned to actually “see” in this reality. They became a larger organism in front of me.
I was floored when my vision showed me the flowing veins of their synchronized movements. They became a kind of organ of the hive, a fully functional system of the larger whole.
They spoke to me and told me that they aren’t here to be a nuisance to my experience, and they taught me that causing a vibration, in this case banging the surrounding area of the kitchen counter, would give them a warning that they’d surely heed.
They just want to survive, not invade my experience. So now I give them a warning, wait, give them another, and they march right back where they came from. When they all retreat, I plug up the hole and wait for the next. No death necessary. Just an equal relationship of respect.
I resonate with these portals you speak of, but in my experience I’ve only gone so far as inanimate exploration: trees, plants, soil, rocks. My inner eye pulls me to their realms which is filled with wisdom and connection. They always have specific places to bring me based on my contemplative need.
I’m inspired to explore the realms of insect and animal, and am over the moon thinking about dragons--having personal pivotal experiences with their energies gives me faith that I’ll find the bravery to call them my friends.
It's amazing to me that you talked to them, hear them. It's fascinating. You are telepathic.
You said, 'my inner eye pulls me to their realms'-- we are doing the same thing. I just don't do it in physical interaction- just looking through my inner eye. remote viewing kinda.
I had similar experience with snakes:) I live in Missouri, surrounded by woods- snakes still keeps me out of the woods in the summer because I still have ways to go until I trust myself to believe that I am good enough for my legs to keep me out of stepping in the wrong place- can you imagine?
But they come around the house. I had 3 snakes living under a john boat that I needed to use occasionally, and we had a mutual understanding.
I understand. We are doing the same thing, then. I’ve been doing more open-eye meditations lately. It’s helping me bring that inner-eye power to the external world to.
The snake comment you made reminds me of something I learned from Carlos Casteneda’s work with Don Juan, a master of ancient mexican mysticism. Casteneda learned the Gait of Power, a way of running effortlessly in the dark without worry of injury. It’s a kind of trust-fall for the mind to let the body “see” and respond to the environment without the need for vision. Never explored it personally but I resonated with it.
Thank you for your response. Playing and exploring energy is not something I get to talk about all the time. Besides a couple aware people in my life, it’s become my little secret. I look forward to your future contemplations.

I am so glad I wrote it,
Thank you Cody
