'''Autonomous entities''' can be described as the visual experience of perceived contact with beings which appear to be sentient and autonomous in their behaviour. This is a shared subjective effect component that can manifest as a result of both external and internal hallucinations. | |||
Autonomous entities seem to act as the inhabitants of a perceived independent reality. Although many entities seem largely unaware of one's presence, generally speaking they tend to be expectant of the person's sudden appearance into their realm and often 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 of mind. For example, whilst many will act as loving, kind intelligences, teachers or healers, in certain contexts, they are equally capable of acting as indifferent, uncaring or even as malicious tormentors. | |||
Entities can take any form but subconscious archetypes are present and commonly include humans, friends, family, loved ones, strangers, oneself, shadow people, bodiless super intelligent humanoids, aliens, elves, animals, giant spheres, insectoids, beings of light, anthropomorphic beings, plants, conscious inanimate objects, fictional characters, cartoons, robotic machines, gods, demigods, goddesses, bio-mechanical intelligences, hooded figures, demons, indescribable monstrosities, spirits, angels, shamans, ghosts, souls, ancestors, fantastical or mythological beasts, glitch creatures and more. | |||
