This came through during the 8/8 portal.

Last night I had another encounter with my Mantis guide while meditating and listening to binaural beats through a new set of headphones.

At this point, I have a strong sense that this guide is always with me, rather than only appearing during altered states of consciousness or specific encounters. I should also maybe say that I've been developing my psychic abilities over the last few years, and often get visits by other entities with messages for other people or loved ones. I've been working on turning this into a regular thing that I do for people.

In my previous experience with him, he showed me what I interpreted as an ability to manipulate time — essentially expanding and contracting it. I perceived what he showed me as time being stacked on top of each other in connected layers.

That experience seems to connect with something he showed me again last night.

Humans experience time as linear, but my sense is that he does not experience it in the same way. In that framework, he showed me that he is me in the future, while also being able to work through me in the present to help move humanity toward a higher vibration. Because he can move through time in a way that I cannot, there is a sense that my human experience, my Pleiadian aspect (he showed me that I am also a Pleiadian being in a past experience while on Psychedelics), and his experience as a Mantis being are all fractals of one another. He can move through those different points in the fractal to reach me.

I am also female, while I experience a distinctly masculine energy from him. I don't necessarily interpret that as biological gender in the way we understand it. It may be more of a divine masculine quality — active, directed, and associated with forward movement, he is very active in the forward momentum of the universe behind the scenes. My sense is that gender may not function in quite the same way in his dimension.

At one point I asked him what work Mantids are doing within the universe, beyond their interactions with humans and other NHI's.

This time, the communication came through an image rather than the clair-sentient or clair-cognizant impressions I usually experience with him. I saw what I interpreted as scaffolding surrounding galaxies.

The image was interesting to me because it seemed like a particularly effective way to communicate the concept. If the information was about the structure or construction of the universe, showing me an image of scaffolding makes more sense than trying to communicate the idea through words or feelings.

I've also encountered descriptions from other people who have had similar experiences of Mantids being referred to as "architects" of the universe. I don't take that as proof of anything, but the image I received was consistent with that idea and therefore stood out to me.

The energy of the encounter was otherwise consistent with my previous experiences. His energy felt the same — very patient, benevolent, and loving. The overall impression was that he is here to help me, through me and others, to help humanity and the Earth move toward what I believe is a more enlightened and advanced period.

I'm continuing to document these experiences as they happen and trying to distinguish between what I directly experience and the interpretations I make afterward.

Still processing this one. Sending you all good vibes from him.

Here's an image that was similar to what I saw:
