Cosmic-Kind: Mantids, DMT & the Frequency of Neutrality

What happens when your energy field expands across three city blocks and you start "bumping into things"? For Rion De'Rouen, host of Cosmic-Kind, that's when the mantids showed up.

In the latest episode of the consciousness exploration series, Rion takes viewers on a wild ride through multidimensional diplomacy, the real mechanics behind DMT experiences, and why playing neutral might be the ultimate spiritual trap. Watch the full episode to hear his unfiltered take on what's actually running the hologram.

Who's Actually Controlling the 3D Hologram?

"I wanted my holographic controls back," Rion states plainly, describing the moment he started manipulating the energetic fields around his Sedona home. That's when the mantids arrived—not as enemies, but as something more complex.

According to Rion, mantids are the guardians and moderators of the 3D hologram itself. "80% of them are super cool," he clarifies, contrasting them with his previous experiences negotiating with reptilian consciousnesses (which he rates at "40% cool, 60% wah wah"). Mantids, he explains, control what we perceive in the physical programming—they're the IT department of consensus reality.

"When you start bypassing and basically talking to yourself, and you're only listening to yourself, you're bypassing all of the firewalls that keep most people asleep," Rion explains. "When you do that, here come the agents, just like in The Matrix."

He describes mantids as highly intelligent beings with neocortexes so sophisticated they can modulate DNA in real-time, doing what quantum computers and CRISPR attempt, but instantaneously in their consciousness. Their primary populations? China and Asia, with some presence in Native American lineages—including the "ant people" who took the Hopi underground before the last flood.

What Are the Machine Elves Really Showing You?

For those familiar with DMT experiences, Rion drops a framework-shifting explanation: "DMT is a tuner. It tunes your body to 12.5 hertz, which is the land or the frequency or the bandwidth of which a mantid's consciousness projects into."

The "machine elves" people encounter? They're mantid projections—what Rion calls "the AI agents of the holographic hard light matrix you find yourself in." He describes them as the interface, the friendly front, while the actual mantid holding the field sits behind them, invisible to casual curiosity.

"To access the grid itself, not just the elves, the move is to stop interacting with the entities and go quiet," Rion advises. "The elves are the interface. The container, the mantid holding the field, sits behind them, and it doesn't show itself to curiosity. It shows itself in the stillness, deep sustained meditation, past the point where the visuals stop being interesting."

He references videos where people on DMT point cameras at walls and capture zeros and ones—actual code running in red—visible proof of the "hard light hologram" mantids moderate from the other side of dimensional barriers.

Why Neutrality Might Be the Biggest Risk of All

The episode's core teaching centers on what Rion calls "the neutrality problem." He asks: How do you get beings who've been playing neutral—staying safe, avoiding karma, guarding old systems—to actually participate in planetary evolution?

"Neutrality isn't a position you can argue someone out of. It's a state of not caring, and caring is the only currency that moves it," he explains. His solution? "Stop asking for participation and start making the benefit undeniable. Show them the cost of staying out, not through threat, through contrast."

Rion outlines three steps to collapse false systems and get neutral observers off the sidelines: First, recognize the fake—"the fake only holds power while you treat it as genuine." Second, refuse the feed—cut off worship, fear, and attention from controllers. Third, hold the frequency of the real—"become the thing that the construct can't simulate."

He draws parallels to current events, mentioning property tax as an example of a system that only holds power through collective agreement. "You purchase a house, you shouldn't have to rent it through property tax for the rest of your life," he states, bringing esoteric principles into tangible reality.

The episode gets personal when Rion describes his own multidimensional positioning: "I sit in the middle because I have to operate in all." He recounts realizing his higher dimensional aspects on the "day side" and "night side" can't communicate directly—he's the transceiver, the bridge between bandwidths that don't naturally interact.

"What I'm getting to is how awake do you want to be?" Rion asks, describing experiences of being "dead sober" while having full multidimensional perception. He talks about the timeline being "seven and a half years behind schedule" and explains that the Alliance speeds up time every time dark hat operators attempt delays—a cosmic pressure system accelerating planetary awakening.

The episode closes with Rion's conviction that every ensouled being in this "graduating class" has the opportunity to evolve, and that all higher and lower selves are being observed in how they operate within this space. "The human potential, we've only just begun to participate in a small part of it," he says.

For anyone navigating awakening, energetic expansion, or wondering what's actually behind the veil, this episode offers Rion's signature blend of irreverent humor and multidimensional intel. Watch the complete conversation to hear the full breakdown of mantids, machine elves, and why the real power move is becoming something the construct can't copy.
