🔥 You Were Never Meant to Be Normal: Life on the Edges of Altered States

Some people spend their whole lives trying to fit in.
I spent my whole life trying to escape the box entirely.
I don’t do “normal.”I don’t do “play it safe.”I don’t do “stay between the lines.”
I walk the edges — the places between worlds —the liminal spaces where the rules collapse and the soul finally tells the truth.

🌑 Altered States Aren't an Escape — They’re a Homecoming
The first time I slipped into an altered state, I wasn’t trying to be spiritual.
I wasn’t trying to be mystical. I wasn’t even trying to be profound.
I was trying to survive. Trying to breathe. Trying to understand why this world felt like it was only showing me half the picture.
Then it happened —that familiar softening of the veil, that shift behind the eyes, that opening of something ancient and holy.
Every time I stepped into an altered state — through breath, ritual, energy, surrender, or sheer necessity — I discovered a truth:
I was never meant to stay in one level of consciousness.
Some of us were born with our hands already on the door handle of the Otherworld.
🌀 Mystical Experiences Make You a Misfit — and Thank God for That
People love to preach about awakening, but they don’t warn you about the consequences:
You stop fitting into small talk.
You stop pretending life is linear.
You stop tolerating shallow conversations.
You start seeing through people’s facades.
You start craving something real, raw, unfiltered.
And that makes you a threat.
Nothing scares people more than a woman who refuses to play dead.
Nothing unsettles the world like a person who knows how to shift consciousness at will.
Mystics disrupt the collective sleep.
Rebels awaken the dead.
Those who walk in altered states become mirrors…and not everyone is ready to see their reflection.
⚡ Rules Don’t Apply in the Realms Where I Live
Here’s what I’ve learned:
There are places consciousness goes that science hasn’t mapped.
There are currents of energy that religion can’t control.
There are states of being that psychology can’t quantify.
And there are realms so real that they make this world feel like the illusion.
I don’t visit these states — I live in them.
I anchor them.
I help others remember them.
Because altered states aren’t just visions or sensations.
They are invitations.
Portals.
Initiations.
Blueprints from another dimension.
Some people meditate.
Some people pray.
I slip into the in-between and bring back instructions.
🔥 The Rebel Path Isn’t Chaotic — It’s Sacred
I used to think I was “too much.”
Too intense.
Too mystical.
Too sensitive.
Too rebellious.
Too unwilling to obey.
But then I realized something:
Every mystic was once a rebel.
Every oracle was once a rule-breaker.
Every healer was once a misfit who refused to swallow the lie of “normal.”
The rebel path isn’t the dangerous one.
Conformity is.
The most sacred thing you can do in this lifetime is follow the thread of your own consciousness —even if it leads you through darkness, deserts, death, rebirth, visions, ancestors, entities, dreams, or the edges of reality itself.
That's where God hides the good shit.
Out on the edges.
Far from the comfort zones of the obedient.
✨ If You Feel Different — You’re Not Broken. You're Initiated.
If you’ve always felt like the world doesn’t make sense…If you’ve always seen or felt things others don’t…If you’ve always lived slightly sideways from “reality”…
Congratulations.
You’re one of the ones who can’t be domesticated.
You’re not meant to be normal.
You’re meant to be awake.
Welcome to the edges.
We’ve been waiting for you.
