The Misperceptions of 'Abductions'

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.
