Autonomous entities will frequently act as the inhabitants of a perceived independent reality.<ref name="Metzner1998" /> Although many entities seem largely unaware of a person’s presence they are often precognizant of a person's appearance into their realm and usually choose to interact with them in various ways.

The behaviour of a typical entity can vary wildly and seems to depend heavily on one's current emotional state. For example, while many entities will act as loving beings,<ref name="Luke2011" /> teachers,<ref name="Luke2011" /><ref name="Strassman2001" /> or healers in certain contexts they are equally capable of acting as indifferent, uncaring or even as malicious tormentors.

This experience is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[geometry]],<ref name="Meyer1994" /> [[internal hallucinations]] and [[delusions]]. It is most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#heavy|heavy]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[hallucinogen|hallucinogenic]] compounds, such as [[psychedelic|psychedelics]], [[dissociative|dissociatives]], and [[deliriant|deliriants]]. However, it can also occur under the influence of [[stimulant psychosis]], [[sleep deprivation]], and during [[dreams]].

Autonomous entities can communicate with a person via a combination of spoken word, “telepathy”, [[conceptual thinking|conceptual thoughts]], mathematics, and [[geometry]]-based visual linguistics which generally consists of morphing colored structures of different textures that are innately understandable as representations of specific concepts. They will often convey insights regarding overcoming personal issues within a person’s life and will occasionally help clarify philosophical or spiritual ideas. However, more often than not entities are very likely to speak in a cryptic or nonsensical manner which seems to have no clear meaning behind it.

It is important to note that autonomous entities can never convey novel information to the person experiencing them. For example, they cannot provide insights about the external world which a person did not already know on some level. Instead, they can only provide alternative perspectives and help build upon existing ideas. This is presumably because autonomous entities do not have access to any knowledge which is not already contained within one's conscious or subconscious memories.

This is presumably because autonomous entities do not have access to any knowledge which is not already contained within one's conscious or subconscious memories. May contain imprints of genetic memories, access to lifetimes that seem parallel or events that mirror one's connectivity moving past the default mode.


When communicated with through spoken word, the level of coherency in which these entities can communicate with is highly variable but can be broken down into four distinct levels. These are described and listed below:
