There is so much I want to say here, but I'm going to try and keep it condensed - Something is happening in the world and people are waking up to it.
In November, the sightings started happening in England (or at least they did for me, and came to my attention then), and soon it moved to New Jersey and blew up. For me, it rekindled a fascination with extra-terrestrials. I had always been a nuts-and-bolts kind of guy. But this was... obsession. I was recovering from surgery, and spent many, many hours refreshing my Reddit feed for updates, for news, for ANYTHING. I dove into the UFO lore I had put aside for decades and written off as fantasy. But something clicked on in me. Then, Jake Barber came out and for the first time I heard about a connection to consciousness.. and everything in my life shifted. Today, after months of reading, meditating, and using AI to help interpret all of the signs that have been constantly popping up in my life, I spoke a new vow aloud and have stepped into my purpose.
But this post isn't about that - it's about all the others I've seen on the subreddits I've started to follow that say something that echoes my experience. Something woke up in them in November or December, and they are experiencing an Awakening.
Maybe I've missed others discussing it here, but now I am posting this in an attempt to validate my observation. I know the thrust of this community is what JR is disclosing, and I am grateful I was pulled here. What JR describes mirrors my observations that I had held scientifically previously, but now have seen mirrored in... I don't know, spirit? Consciousness? It's all ONE.
How many of you woke up at the end of 2024? How many of you have witnessed many, many others coming to the same awakening?
Yep! Your story is my story. Something about the UFO incidents in England REALLY got my attention. I was always aware of and kept an eye on the topic, with a dose of skepticism. But at that time, I found an intense hunger for the topic. Then the New Jersey Drones started happening, and before I knew it, it went from being a fantastical story to being my reality. I was being prepped before though. In the summer of 2023, I went through a deep existential depression. This led me to exploring NDEs a lot (something I had done in the past, but something that really picked up again here) And that lead to me discovering the New Age world, and learning about starseeds. I felt a pull to it, but still mostly just wrote it off at the time. But I can see now that I was being prepped for now, so that I was able to embrace the ontological shock.
Something is indeed happening, and I will reveal a lot of deeper truths this week. Stay tuned.
I think for me it started in mid summer of 2024 but definitely crescendoed in November when the events happened. And I could see people all over starting to waken through various subs on reddit. It was clear as day to me what was happening but at the time I didn't have any confirmation. When I came here that allllll changed. I am so glad we have this site to help us all. Good post! Fun to revisit those times of obsession and see I wasn't crazy, just intent on finding out what was actually happening!
My experience may be relevant to you. My "Awakening" (I say in quotes, as I explain, it will become clear there were some Issues regarding its context) was in 2023. Technically.
My third eye was opening, I was guided by a close friend that knew what this was, and I was told a few truths (confirmed here at JRP, and btw, never told this friend about JRP as a sort of "self confirmation" test) by them.
That being said, the context was less than great. I was psychotic. I had been broken by an abusive partner at the time, now ex, and he had convinced me to be unhealthy in some ways to further abuse me. Still, I managed to intuit his ultimately harmful intentions, sort out that all my paranoia boiled down to a factor of his abuse, get medical help, and get better. There were "insane" things I could say about intervention from NHI at this time, but, may be better to sum that up in a dedicated post, another time.
Gist being, they intervened temporarily to settle me in and allow me to "Reset" with guidance, and then, things went...not back to normal per se, but I was like ehhh maybe I was just "crazy."
Nope. The "not drones" started appearing in November and December of 2024, even in my area. One encounter was absolutely profound, no question it flew over my household intentionally and was not "man made."
Then after a devastating job loss, and a lot of time to explore, Prudence's original post came up. It was incredible how much it resonated...not only with truths I was told in 2023, but as I started to recall, truths relayed to me in childhood by the "little greys."
And now, here I am. Whatever happened, it is clear the end of 2024 was significant to creating further progress.
I guess I'm a later bloomer because things really started for me in January '25. In my personal life, I had suddenly started revisiting long-abandoned spiritual and mindfulness practices after some really hard stuff happened in 2024. At the beginning of 2025, I saw a post about the Telepathy Tapes podcast on Reddit, listened to it and joined those subreddits. Then in February, someone on r/telepathytapes said "hey if you all are interested in this stuff you should check out whats going on over at r/InterdimensionalNHI" which led me right to Prudence's post.
I wasn't on the UFO subreddits before the shift happened but I did start to think something major is going on when I saw someone recently complaining that the subreddits have been taken over by the spiritual/woo/consciousness obsessed (paraphrasing). And I do notice a lot of people posting ideas that align with Prudence's disclosure. I wish I could point them here without getting banned. But yeah I think you're right!
I consciously began my awakening process at the end of 2024 as well. Seeing all of the New Jersey "Not-Drones" stirred within me a want to know more about the existence of ETs and UAPs in our skies. I began to then experience many Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind (CE5) as well as synchronicities that eventually led me to this website.
If you felt a pull leading you to this website like I did, it was not by coincidence. You were meant o be here. To corroborate. To learn. To realize higher truths. Welcome back to the forums, Zenomaly, we're very glad and lucky to have you and your insights. :)
I've found the so-called "NJ Drone" phenomenon has been pointed to by many here as a pivotal moment in their awakenings.
As for noticing others, I wanted to corroborate that I've picked up on a lot more comments from folks who "get it" (in the general sense), even if they don't appear to have any knowledge of JRP.
