The Greeting — the welcome party

✦Description

The arrival is received. Reports describe breaking through into applause, cheering, waving, or a crowd of beings turning toward the newcomer in unison — 'a welcome party,' 'they all turned to greet me.' Often staged in the waiting-room setting; the DMT-Nexus Hyperspace Lexicon describes the waiting room as populated by telepathic entities it calls 'ushers.' Distinct from the existing theme 'They were expecting me': the expectation is the attitude, the greeting is the event — the handshake at the door.

✦Interpretations

Experiencers often take the greeting as evidence of a persistent place that noticed them arrive; researchers note it follows the social template the brain deploys wherever an 'arrival' is staged — threshold, host, guest.
