ET ‘Abduction’ – Is This Really The Right
Terminology?
By Brian P James
The term ‘abduction’ by either aliens or
ETs has been around in UFO-lore for many years now, and probably
arose after the Betty and Barney Hill UFO CE3K in 1967 – indeed this
seems to have been a ‘change point’ from the earlier UFO CE3K’s and
the claims of then contactees. The term ‘abduction’ came into the
vocabulary when witnesses started to describe (in some detail) the
various medical examinations and procedures that they experienced
during the encounter.
However, as other enlightened
researchers have commented – notably the likes of Mary Rodwell in
her excellent book Awakening – the term abduction is emotive and
particularly these days conjures up more sinister motives. Mary,
along with others, also alludes to the possibility that ‘abduction’
as a term is incorrect, as the witness may have been a ‘willing
participant’ in the whole scenario. I have to admit to having some
interests and indeed insights here as both an experiencer, and as
what I will term an ‘explorer’ (rather than ‘researcher’), let’s
consider some alternative viewpoints.
To consider the ‘willing
participation’ element first…
It is now a good few years ago that I
started to become interested in channelling, not directly as the
channeller, but as a participant in a group session lead by a
channeller – in this case Corinne Jeffrey. It is perhaps beyond the
scope of this article to consider what outside agency was being
channelled, but I am satisfied that a group/collective higher/force
consciousness was on the other side of the communication.
Time and again during these group
sessions, we are all reminded of the wider nature of the ‘whole
person’ – you might like to think of this as the spirit, soul,
psyche or whatever, depending on your own beliefs. This was/is all
very much linked into understanding the evolution of ‘the whole
one-ness’ through its course of past, present and future incarnate
lives – and in this we have to learn to forget our concepts of
linear time! I’ll try and cover this without getting too deep into
such matters and just consider what I was told and its implications
here for ET contact.
Part of what we were told relates to the
‘evolution’ of what I will term here the ‘astral self’ – and has
much in common with eastern religions – that each incarnate
existence is only part of a learning process. Before commencing each
incarnate life, the ‘astral self’ agrees to something akin to a
mission, but upon entering this mortal lifetime the
physical/conscious mind of the incarnated spirit seldom remembers
what had been agreed to… This relates very much to the ‘abduction’
situation – the regular ‘monitoring’ is/was part of the agreed
mission. I am convinced that the vast majority of ‘abductions’ do
not even occur at the physical level, but are on an astral/spiritual
level – but this makes them no less real!
Okay, perhaps that was deep (it
was meant to be), and I hope has made you think a bit! If you aren’t
sitting there saying “Wow” then perhaps I’m not getting my point
across…
Now let’s consider an analogy to put
a viewpoint on what I consider the ‘abduction misperception’…
Most of us will have a zoo or other
wildlife park that we know, and may visit frequently. Let us
consider any of these zoos, and the animals, or perhaps creatures is
a better term, that are cared for there. This will apply to any of
the creatures there, but for now we’ll put ourselves in the mind of
one such creature, perhaps a primate, or big cat – it doesn’t matter
for the purposes of this analogy.
As this creature we may feel unwell or
ill, or even have been injured. Now the viewpoint changes, as we
note the strange humanoids are getting closer, and they are trying
to separate us from the rest of our pack. We start to panic, and
then suddenly we lose consciousness. Our next memory is waking up,
feeling groggy, and we may not even be where we were before we lost
consciousness, and we may be sore and have unexplained marks on our
body. We have a ‘hole’ in our recollection and memory – does this
sound familiar under another context?
Let’s help this creature fill in the
hole in its recollections…
The zoo’s keepers and vet(s) have been
concerned over the health and welfare of one of the creatures in
their care. They decide they need to examine the creature, so they
try to isolate it. It may be a nervous, large or even dangerous
creature – all three cases would cause the keepers and vets to want
to reduce any stress suffered by the creature – so the vet may well
tranquilize the creature. At this point the creature can be safely
removed and taken away for examination and treatment. This may
involve taking the creature off to the vet’s surgery – a clean
sterile room where a detailed examination may occur, and possibly
surgery may be carried out. After this, the creature may be returned
to its enclosure, or more likely it will be taken back to its
sleeping quarters – but seldom will it be returned to exactly where
it was taken from – where it will be looked at closely until it has
regained consciousness, when it will then be left to recover.
Again – does this have similarities to another context?
Remember in the above scenario, at no
time did the human keepers and vets have nothing but the utmost
concern for the care and well-being of the animal in this whole
process – there was no intent of harm whatsoever, merely concern,
caring and yes even love for the creature in its time of illness,
injury with its suffering and distress. Though in this scenario, if
the creature were to have a conscious memory throughout, I doubt if
the creature itself would perceive anything but panic and fear, and
would not understand anything of the procedures being performed on
it, no matter what their intentions. Might we as humans not
similarly misunderstand and misperceive what higher beings were
doing to us or it that doing for us?
I hope this has made you all think
– we should not continue with false conceptions over ‘abductions’
just for the sake of it. There are always more answers to questions;
we just need to look wider for more of the answers.
