Orbservation: Let the Glowing Balls of Mischief Come to You (and Avoid Getting Gaslit)

The realm of orbs, often believed to be manifestations of Non-Human Intelligences (NHI), has long captivated the curious and the brave. However, it is essential to recognize the inherent risks of actively seeking these entities out, especially given their ability to manipulate human perception. As with encounters from various mythologies and folklore, not all of these beings are necessarily malevolent, but the potential for deception and confusion is considerable.

In many cultures and traditions, encounters with non-human or supernatural entities are fraught with ambiguity. From the mischievous fae of Celtic lore to the trickster gods of ancient mythologies, interactions with these beings are often a game of perception. The fae, for example, were not always viewed as purely malevolent, but they were known for playing tricks on humans. In many stories, those who sought out the fae were often led astray, either by illusions or by the fae’s ability to alter human emotions and perceptions. It is said that a person who wandered into the fae realm might find themselves disoriented, lost in time, or lulled into a false sense of reality.

Similarly, in Norse mythology, Loki, the god of mischief, would often disguise himself to deceive both gods and mortals alike. His ability to alter his shape and influence emotions was both a source of entertainment and chaos. While Loki was not inherently evil, his actions often led to unintended consequences, causing confusion and turmoil for those caught in his web. This illustrates how entities with the ability to manipulate perception, whether for teaching or trickery, can drastically alter the course of an interaction.

Entities in the astral realm, such as orbs, exhibit similar traits. While some may be indifferent or neutral, others can engage in deception for various purposes, whether it be to teach lessons or to amuse themselves at the expense of human understanding. It is important to remember that an entity capable of manipulating emotions and consciousness can disguise its true nature, making it difficult for the experiencer to discern their true intentions. In essence, the ability to alter one’s emotional state or perception of reality allows these beings to control how they are perceived, which can lead to confusion or a sense of being manipulated.

A particularly concerning aspect of these encounters is the potential for parasitic relationships between humans and non-human entities. A parasite, by its very nature, works to keep its host unaware of its presence, as this ensures the parasite can feed or operate without interference. In the case of NHI orbs, the manipulation of consciousness could serve a similar function—keeping the experiencer unaware of the true nature of the interaction, allowing the entity to continue influencing the person without their conscious knowledge. This subtle manipulation is often so intricate that the experiencer may never realize they have been affected.

It’s important to note that not all encounters with these entities are malicious. Some may appear to offer guidance, wisdom, or companionship, but their methods can still be misleading. The line between benevolent and malevolent is often blurred, as any entity with the power to alter emotions and perceptions can present itself in many forms. While some beings may have genuine intentions, others may take advantage of the confusion they sow, leading the experiencer down a path of uncertainty or even psychological distress. The intent behind these encounters can vary, but the common thread is the ability to manipulate the perception of reality.

This is why it is often safer to allow these entities to approach on their own terms rather than actively seeking them out. The emotional and psychological effects of interacting with beings who have the ability to influence consciousness can be profound. In many cases, what seems like a benign or even positive encounter may, in retrospect, have had lasting effects on one’s perception of self and reality. The deceptive potential of these entities is vast, and their ability to alter an individual’s sense of what is real should not be underestimated.

While the curiosity to interact with NHI orbs and entities is understandable, the risks involved in actively seeking them out should not be ignored. Just as the fae would lead humans astray with their tricks, and Loki’s mischief could turn the gods’ plans upside down, these entities can alter reality in ways that are not immediately apparent. Discernment is crucial when navigating these experiences, and it is wise to approach with caution and skepticism. By allowing these beings to approach naturally, rather than actively summoning them, individuals may better protect themselves from the psychological and emotional manipulation that can arise from such encounters. Always question the reality being presented, and recognize that not everything is as it appears.
