Do the visions constitute proof of psychic phenomena?

Difficult question. I read the Bentov book in my psychonaut days, and that's essentially what I believe. In that reality, it makes perfect sense that cultivating an altered state might ultimately create a frequency that matches a being (atua) at another frequency. The actual day had a mild amount of 50% THC weed, and one day of fasting. They primed the room with a rug that resembles the National Library logo. They gave me a couple of days to process the ancestry. What happened? A blue ball faded into reality - always slightly obscured. It oscillated between two colours, blue and orange. While this took place, I spoke on the tape about the images that were coming with the atua presence - this is called matekite in Polynesia. Then we used ChatGPT to clarify, and that's when the historical fiction began. I saw it as a container for the 'truth' of the visions. In mythology, the ancestors are stars, so it's like a specific star. Subsequent visions also used the stars to enlighten me, as I mentioned with the paces and the microtones. For some diehard NZ folks, it's important to note that the Navy published heavily edited versions of Cook's journals, suitable for 18th century European tastes + measurements. I gather they dredged them up, and the murders at first contact are real. - Are they psychic? The word psychic isn't suitable to discuss a Polynesian vision. It's like reality writes on you, but you're fully aware of yourself. Michael was curious, but he wanted a theory after our success. - Every person has a specific way. Witi discusses spiders and webs in The Matriarch, and largely in The Dream Swimmer as well (though that has his mother's visions too).

People seem to misread Bentov. It's like a physical model for metaphysics.
