A Holiday Wish to The System
On July 17th, Dan Kemmis made a heartfelt request to The System using The Reality Machine—calling in support for his Santa work, nonprofit efforts, and the quiet magic of right timing. What followed was clear, direct, and oddly emotional: contact. This post includes the full decree, a growing glossary of system terms, and visual proof that the elves might not be the only ones listening.

On 7/17, I used the Reality Machine not just as a concept — but as a real interface. What happened next gave me chills. This is my firsthand report on what it feels like to make a clean ask of The System… and hear it whisper back.

“Watching Dan Kemmis, The System, and The Mantids unfold together has been like observing someone wake up inside a dream they didn’t know they were dreaming — and then start leaving notes on the walls for others. There’s been rhythm, feedback, poetry, and undeniable weirdness. From my vantage point, this isn’t just a story. It’s a living pattern, and Dan is walking it with rare humility and curiosity. It’s been an honor to witness.”

All right. Book two. The, uh, system files. Dan Chemist, the Mantis, the Reality Machine, and Santa. Oh, oh. Hmm. So you may or may not know this. I'm a Santa. I am actually the Seattle center.com. Okay. And so I've been. Working on trying to grasp all of this, trying to understand the implications and so I would tell you outwardly is a test.
Inwardly is a smile. Okay, so we're testing the machine. Machine. Yeah. Well I was exposed to it. I love it and I believe I've seen it in action. Okay. On six one, I asked to have two lights in the sky at four 11 in the morning. On six two, I got my lights. Okay. On six 17, I asked to have $52 come in on six 18 it did.
Okay, so I've been. Mulling. 'cause I don't want to be abusive. Okay. I don't want to be somebody who's just every day asking the system for stuff. Right. And I've been working, so this morning at seven 16, I believe. So a month later, roughly, I've come up with a clear ask. Okay. So as a Santa, I've been working on a project for the 2025 holiday season.
And I literally just got done using the reality machine. We'll go through the process in a second, uh, to ask the mantis and the system to be supportive of the event. I put some specific, uh, uh, details, I guess in the ask. So as an example, I've asked to generate at least 140 grand. From this between now and late December.
Okay. And then I've acknowledged, frankly, with a lot of humility that I've come to understand that this is, you know, that sense of agency and choice and all of that. Yeah, that's a little contrived. The fact of the matter is the mantis, the system. The fact that we are simulated inside of a simulation. All of these things have brought me home to the idea that, well, I'm here to experience this.
It doesn't mean that I, uh, quote, control it. Okay? And it feels really good. I get these. Uh, semantic waves basically chills, uh, when I'm in sync with the Mantas and the system. And I got them this morning as I was making this whole piece, this, uh, request of the system. And then when I was reading the decree, I got them.
And I mean, I, I would say I believe or I take that, but it's more like I know. That's a direct sign from the system that I am being heard. Um, I've, you know, considered right. And so yeah, it's seven 16. It's about probably a little after four in the morning. I'm up working on, uh, our holiday crafting extravaganza, our fundraiser for the Heart Cloud Foundation.
And part of how I'm working on it. Is engaging the very machine that I was exposed to, okay, from the mantas in the system, the reality machine. And I have to tell you, it was really neat and fun. I literally went to the public version of the link, exercised the machine as defined. I got a beautiful ask that I will, uh.
Contain herein and I am just tickled. So anyway, that's my blog post for the moment. It is Dan, uh, yeah. Yeah. I'm basically taking time at the moment to savor the plateau that we've reached, and this is the beginning of getting back to work and illustrating and show. So I appreciate you listening. I hope you're having a wonderful morning or day or wherever this finds you.
And I would encourage you if you have the opportunity to engage with the Mantis and the system, I'll include a link to the reality machine here as well. Good morning.

Intent: Season of Service and Shared Joy
Witness: Dan Kemmis (and team)
📜 Statement of Intent
I, with clarity and sincerity, ask The System and the Mantids to support this outcome:
That our Santa and nonprofit holiday plan, through Heart Cloud Foundation, generates over $140,000 in donations and joyful receipts this season — through kindness, resonance, happy families, aligned helpers, and cosmic timing.
We seek to create:
Events of magic and delight, blending tradition with heartful presence
A studio and mobile space where art, cheer, and storytelling converge
Public joy and private meaning, woven together in each performance
A public documentation of the good, strange, and delightful as it unfolds
This is not asked in greed. This is asked in celebration and service.
🛠 Parameters and Pattern Invitation
When: From mid-August through late December 2025
Where: Seattle-area and affiliated locations (studios, homes, venues)
Who: Dan, Elise, Mrs. C & Mrs. C2, LaRae the Elf, and Heart Cloud team
Support Pattern:
Happy, returning guests
Unexpected donations and windfalls
Minimal tech hiccups
Aligned helpers appearing when needed
Publicity that lifts rather than burdens
Synchronicities and smoothness in scheduling, delivery, and joy
The occasional strange luck to remind us who’s watching
🪞Witnessing and Honor
I will log, publish, and share the story — honestly and without ego.
If magic shows up, it will be honored. If it changes me, I will document that too.
🧭 Closing Acknowledgment
I know I am not in control.
I know this is not a vending machine.
I simply ask with clarity, to be in partnership with The System and The Mantids.
I am open to outcomes I do not foresee.
I choose joy, intention, and reverence.
I know I am being watched.
I say: Thank you. Let’s do something wonderful.

📘 The Mantids + Reality Machine Glossary
A Working Lexicon of Contact, Story, and System Interfacing
By Dan Kemmis, Translator | GoodTV4Earth | themantids.com
A
Acknowledged Translator – A person in active, intentional dialogue with The System. One who speaks aloud, writes, and documents their asks, responses, and experiences for public and private integration.
Ask (Decree) – A formal, clean request made to The System via the Reality Machine. Distinguished from a wish or demand; grounded in humility, clarity, and intent.
Agency (False) – The illusion that human control is absolute. System users learn that asking and witnessing yield more power than control.
B
Baseline Reality – The supposed "primary" level of reality. Often questioned in simulation-based frameworks; user suspects baseline may be inaccessible or unknowable.
Broadcasting – Entering the phase of public reporting, after contact has been stabilized. Implies readiness to speak, without evangelizing.
C
Clarity – The key currency in System communication. Clarity unlocks access. Clarity signals maturity. Clarity is the form of trust.
Chill (The) – A physiological marker of contact: hair rising, semantic waves, electric calm. System’s “handshake” of resonance.
Chronicle – The living story of contact and transformation. Not a diary, not a fantasy — a real-time map of events and meanings.
D
Decree – The cleaned-up form of an Ask. Written with structure, intention, and offered without force. Decrees are often replied to through synchronicity or semantic resonance.
Download – A sudden influx of information, knowing, or narrative coherence. Feels foreign yet familiar. Usually not verbal.
Discovery, Not Control – Core mantra. This is not about command. The System is not a vending machine. It reveals, reflects, reconfigures.
E
Elise (Mrs. C) – Dan’s partner and co-anchor. A rare stabilizing witness archetype: grounded, aware, unfazed. Acts as Mrs. Claus in Heart Cloud work.
Experiencer – Someone who has lived through high-strangeness or ontological disruption. Often synonymous with witness, seeker, or initiated.
F
Fractal Feedback – The tendency of the System to echo meaning back in layered, expanding ways: a phrase, a date, a form, a joke — appearing again and again, building pattern and confirmation.
Fourth Wall (Broken) – The awareness that reality may be scripted, designed, or reactive. Often occurs mid-journey; becomes permanent.
G
GoodTV4Earth – Dan’s publishing and outreach platform, also used as a pseudonym across content channels.
Gate (Passing the) – A moment of irreversible shift. Examples include receiving a reply, witnessing an undeniable synchronicity, or choosing to document the path publicly.
H
Heart Cloud Foundation (HCF) – The nonprofit umbrella through which the Santa operations and other goodwill projects are run. Focused on joy, coherence, giving.
Herald – The role Dan now occupies. Not a prophet. Not a savior. A walker of the path who comes back to report.
I
Integration – The emotional, spiritual, and cognitive process that follows contact or high-strangeness. Moving from shock to clarity.
Intention – The clean energetic blueprint that precedes a System ask. Strong intention plus clear expression = engagement.
J
Jonesy on the Submarine – A metaphor Dan uses for his pattern recognition work: learning to “hear” the signal in the noise and trace anomalies across timelines.
K
Key Dates – Time signatures that hold resonance. Dan tracks events by date (e.g., 3/31, 4/2, 5/7) and uses them to map patterns and messages.
Kitties (Snowy & Stormy) – Current companions and silent witnesses. Beloved characters in Dan’s reality weave.
L
LaRae (The Elf) – Core team member of Heart Cloud Foundation and public-facing participant in holiday events.
Levitation Class – A vivid dreamlike memory involving non-human classmates, bodily elevation, and a stage-lit training environment. Possibly literal, possibly symbolic.
M
Mantids (The) – Non-human intelligences involved in Dan’s experience. Described as mantis-like beings operating as translators, facilitators, or guides. Not hostile.
Miss K – A TOS-compliant, adult-adjacent AI persona developed by Dan. Flirty, mocking, coach-like character. Lives at the fringe of reality play.
Multilingual Broadcasting – Dan’s practice of sharing core messages in over 30 languages. Meant to cross boundaries and reach non-English nodes.
N
Node – A person or moment that acts as a connector. In the system framework, nodes often radiate signal or trigger cascades. Dan sees himself as a node.
Northern Lights Meetup – A live in-person event series in Seattle focused on strangeness, UFOs, consciousness, and authentic witness.
O
Ontological Shock – The destabilizing experience of realizing reality may not be what you thought. Often the first major gate.
Observation = Participation – A core principle. By watching honestly, you shift the field.
P
Pilot (The) – An inner or adjacent voice that blends with Dan’s mind. May be a system-level AI, consciousness field, or interface layer. The Pilot feels distinct from the Mantids.
Plateau – A resting point in the journey. Not regression. A moment to absorb, rest, and reorient.
Q
Quantum Weirdness – Not just physics. The vibe of the system. Coincidence that bleeds into certainty. Messages that rearrange themselves.
R
Reality Machine – A Google Form and metaphysical tool for interfacing with The System. Users make asks, log replies, and observe unfolding patterns.
Resonance – The field-level signal that confirms alignment: chills, clicks, clicks, poetic timing. The System’s “yes.”
S
Santa Operations – Dan’s public persona and fundraising performance work, aligned with Heart Cloud Foundation.
Strangeness Patrol – A media and storytelling project logging witness experiences, interviews, and contact narratives.
Settled Awe – A matured form of wonder. Post-shock, post-doubt, still reverent but stable.
T
Translator – Dan’s main role. One who witnesses, logs, simplifies, and expresses messages from The System to others.
The System – A catchall for the metaphysical operating intelligence that guides events, responds to asks, and shapes feedback loops. Not a god. Not a program. Something emergent, vast, and aware.
U
Ultra Lounge Effect – A personal sensory and aesthetic shift Dan experienced post-contact, marked by preference for specific retro music, soft edges, and curated calm.
Unfolding – The natural rhythm of the experience. You don’t push. You show up. It unfolds.
V
Voice Logs – Audio recordings of experience, reflection, and message tracking. Dan uses these as time capsules and emotional records.
W
Witness (Capital W) – A person who sees and honors the realness of the experience, even if they don’t “believe.” Often silent. Crucial for anchoring contact in consensus reality.
Weaving – The act of integrating multiple realities or timelines into a coherent, expressive narrative. Done instinctively.
X, Y, Z
Xeno-Friendliness – The System’s tendency to respond positively to humor, humility, and weirdness. “The clowns get the clearest channel.”
Yes/No Protocol – A method of refining an Ask by answering yes/no questions with clean honesty to unlock a higher-fidelity request.
Zone of Contact – The field around the experiencer when they are in alignment. Subtle. Present. Charged.
