Taking another look at portal-places via the latest research

Jun 09, 2023

This article continues our exploration into ‘portal-places’ and the researchers who study them. We examine recently published books with updated theories about what drives high strangeness in certain areas of the globe.

Dr. Simeon Hein has a PhD in sociology, but he knows his stuff when it comes to theoretical physics. According to his calculations, cryptids are creatures that have an adapted physiology that takes advantage of quantum entangled dark matter—as in literally, their biological makeup has evolved to incorporate “advanced abilities compared to humans in terms of energy utilization, cloaking, and teleportation.”

Hein makes his case in Dark Matter Monsters (2022), suggesting that peculiar cryptids have found a way to leverage “coherent matter” (clouds of compressed electrons) to their evolutionary benefit. Supernatural beings are essentially shape-shifters: “products of similar natural processes where matter can shift states from solid to plasma to coherency.”

Hein backs up his conjecture by citing the work of Kenneth Shoulders, a pioneering cold fusion scientist and research partner of Hal Puthoff (of SRI/NIDS fame). Shoulders discovered that densely packed clusters of self-organizing ions display astounding properties—like the ability to instantly disappear and reappear, tunnel through matter, or quickly accelerate to high speeds. Hein believes these properties are being exploited by unusual creatures when they emerge suddenly, move rapidly, and vanish into thin air.

The book highlights quantum mechanisms that could be responsible for a wide range of anomalous apparitions reported near portal-places: “At the heart of every phenomenon we call ‘paranormal’ is, in fact, coherent matter and related processes.” Common themes described by witnesses—rotten smells, temperature changes, electrical failures, time loss, balls of light—all might be accounted for by the “unbinding of charge clusters.” (Wilbert Smith’s “reduced binding,” anyone?) According to Hein, the orbs and oddities witnessed at Skinwalker Ranch are likely caused by this form of coherent matter phenomena.

He goes on to recite familiar theories about seismic activity and electromagnetic expenditures to explain why strange critters seem to gather around specific locations on the planet’s surface. These processes apparently generate the desirable high-density charge clusters that “dark matter monsters” drool over. Hein explains that certain geologic hotspots have a unique “quantum frequency that allows a particular cast of characters to make their appearance there.” Many paranormal entities seem to “phase in and out” of certain places due to an ability to change their molecular vibration.

Dark Matter Monsters updates John Keel’s tenets concerning ultraterrestrial-like beings, explaining how quantum cryptids reside within a “narrow band of electromagnetic parameters.” Hein openly wonders whether they might dwell in a separate dimension that intersects our own—inhabitants of an entire “dark matter universe.” He suspects that these entities can manifest in our reality by using electron clouds as a “bridge … to travel between parallel worlds.”

Hein also tips his cap to Lord Kelvin’s vortex-atoms (see Part 1), noting how dark matter can be created by “spinning vortices.” He refers to the concept of helicity, which implies that everything in the universe is based upon a corkscrew-like motion. Later on, Dr. Hein explicitly cites Kelvin’s work regarding “dark bodies” as a forerunner to the types of quantum particles harnessed by dark matter life forms.

Another recent take on the topic comes from researchers Gregory Little and Andrew Collins. Unlike Dr. Hein’s suggestion that supernatural phenomena are related to particles of dark matter, the veteran tag-team of Collins and Little believe that anomalous experiences within specific terrestrial zones are caused by “trans- dimensional intelligences manifesting as plasma light.” According to their theory, sentient “light forms” interact with human brain waves to generate “a multitude of mystical experiences.”

In Origins of the Gods (2022), they contend that early humans owe a debt of gratitude to the plasma-beings materializing near sacred portal sites, suggesting that this unknown intelligence uploaded crucial evolutionary information into the heads of ancient mystics and shamans: “When we are close to these emerging plasmas, we are the antennae that receive their messages.” Our ancestors recognized the applications of this energy and subsequently erected stone monuments and temples in places imbued with its power. Not only did these “transformative experiences” influence our cultural development over the years, we continue to make contact with intelligent plasmoids today. They may even be the source of “the events that we today refer to as paranormal phenomena.”

Similar to Dr. Hein, Origins wonders whether pure-energy entities are capable of opening gateways— “sustainable portals into environments existing outside normal space-time”—that allow them temporary access to our physical reality. By employing an effect known as “quantum tunneling,” certain configurations of matter become conduits to the “Outside.” These inter- dimensional highways permit “other types of consciousness” to road trip into our earthly neighborhood, made possible in part by a material referred to as “pre-space.” This “nonlocal medium” facilitates a connection between particles separated by long distances and amounts to the same invisible ‘ether’ that Lord Kelvin theorized was saturating the universe and infusing it with life.

Collins and Little make a valiant effort when trying to describe how an exchange between an intelligent energy-being and a human might play out. When certain plasmas start to take shape, they shield themselves within an “electromagnetic shell or bubble” that can impact an unsuspecting bystander. When this exchange occurs, “a consciousness interaction field” is created that allows for open communication between the two parties. How exactly? The authors admit that “science completely breaks down at this point.” They seem to be simpatico with Dr. Hein, linking it to “dark energy, dark matter, and string theory.”

Plasma-beings may be localized manifestations of an “otherworldly consciousness,” but Collins and Little assert that they’re brought about by terrestrial events: “They most likely stem from electromagnetic energy intrusions produced by natural Earth energies that are well-recognized by geology but not yet fully understood.” In other words—earthquakes and the resulting electricity released from rocks.

They cite proximity to fault lines and certain geologic features as key components needed to generate a plasma-infested window area. The presence of quartz or sandstone—especially under tons of pressure—creates favorable conditions. Collins works this theory into a customary Skinwalker shout-out, suggesting that spooky encounters down on the Ranch might be the result of luminous matter produced by natural processes in the surrounding landscape.

The authors dedicate their book to the memory of the ultimate window-watcher, John Keel, crediting him for inspiring their approach to the phenomenon. However, while Keel suspected a sinister motive behind ultraterrestrial contact, Collins and Little aren’t convinced this is the case. They agree that a form of ‘energetic intelligence’ is operating on people in specific areas of the globe, but instead of trickery and misdirection, they believe these benign plasma-beings have dutifully steered mankind for the better.
