Shadow being activity during periods of meditation

When I first started doing the gateway tapes in early 2024, I started achieving spontaneous astral projection and remote viewing. Among my first encounters in this state was a human sized being which fit the description that many have reported as shadow beings. The first time it became clear to me was when I was meditating on focus ten and I suddenly found myself able to see into my living room with eyes closed as if they were open but from the perspective of my bodily position. Several feet in front of me was a shadow being walking casually down my hallway towards my front door. It looked to be about 5 ½ to 6 feet tall and wasn't looking in my direction. I did not feel fear and felt very neutral upon seeing it. I did not feel threatened at all by its presence. As far as if it was a malicious being like some report them to be I cannot say. It didn't seem to lean in any direction, good or bad.

This encounter was the first among several encounters with this same being or others of a similar nature. I had the most encounters with them when doing the tapes as well as other Nhi. Kind, neutral and malicious as one could expect from a vast and intricate universe. The second one was when I was asleep, I woke one night and saw one standing in my room watching me sleep several feet away. Like usual upon seeing, it the being vanished into thin air shortly after. In a more recent encounter, I was meditating in my living room, doing the gateway process once again and spontaneously remote viewed my living room with my eyes shut. I saw a being with very dark skin and no describable features seemingly made of solid shadow standing behind my couch watching me. I opened my eyes and looked where I had seen it standing and saw just briefly for several seconds the same being standing there and observing me. As quickly as I had glanced its direction the being ducked down quickly behind the couch vanishing from sight.
