Area 61 UFO Convention Duluth, MN 21 Oct, 2006 Craig R. Lang Certified Hypnotherapist Researcher/Investigator Minnesota MUFON
Poll:
Who in audience has seen something unexplained in the sky? Who has either had an encounter with the unexplained, or knows someone who has? I usually find:
UFO Abduction
Some Examples Generalizations: signs and scale Wonder and Trauma What are They Doing? Are they good, evil or something else?
High school age at that time (Jan 1990) Was walking late at night through streets in Plymouth during a light snowstorm Suddenly found himself walking opposite direction,
no visible tracks but about 1 of snow Completely different feeling instantaneous change
Subsequent recall of abduction events Long term depression had vanished, health improved, Life-long sense of mystery...
Memories emerged over years following event Sketched these during interview in 1997 Initial fear, accompanied by healing
Evelyn: Encounters in NW WI
1996: observed object from back window of farmhouse Distant object UFO moves toward/over house Lights in yard Entities at door Amnesia from that point Left only with Sense of something strange
Awoke to sense of entity along side of bed Felt touch on shoulder Suddenly flipped over onto front, floating over bed Felt self being pulled out of bed by feet Memory drops out at time when body about half way off of foot of bed Next memory is of light ascending from over east side of house, above kitchen window some time later
Close up of trace
Found a day later while doing winter prep work on yard Had not been there before (both trace and trails) Left a legacy of fear
Larger view of trace and north side of yard
Abduction Generalities
3 Million in USA 30 Thousand in Twin Cities (pop = 3 Million) 900 in Duluth (pop = 90,000) Twin Cities: approx 100 per 24 hrs Duluth: approx 3 per 24 hrs
A real phenomenon affecting a lot of people Need a lot of UFO flights to do this...
Mysterious/Puzzling event Close UFO sighting Discontinuity/Paradox in memory or narration of event Missing Time Sighting/Encounter with strange animal, religious figure, paranormal being Sense of mystery associated with event
More than one close UFO sighting in the last few years Sustained thread of mystery/strange events in life Dreams of operations, hospitals, lights, UFOs/aliens Fear/compulsion about a place, the sky, topics such as space/ETs/etc... Sudden/Abrupt change in spiritual/mental/physical health Fear reactions to otherwise normal events:
Post Contact Syndrome (UFO equivalent of PTSD) This is serious stuff Contact: Be careful what you wish for
Began to do regression work on her abductions As we began she Locked up from fear Using hypnotherapy able to find source of fear reaction Found it was from early childhood learned during religious schooling to fear the unexplained Able to resolve fear issue thus to do regression work...
Two teenagers driving through W. Minnesota Spooked by light in the sky seemed to hover near their car Floored it eventually lost the object as they neared city UFO actually matched descrip of approaching aircraft (?) an IFO? I Interviewed the family
Family members had had close encounters (abductions) Learned that knew of UFOs from conservative minister UFOs are demonic was the Devil was after them?
Jim described childhood playmate (cartoon character) Described positive contact experiences
But also had strong emotional responses indicating otherwise Full range of abduction experiences emerged Experiences were not positive, but had positive elements Able to come to terms with experiences: level the playing field
During regression
Often find that there is both good and bad a mixed bag
Not abduction at least not apparently... May even be initiated by experiencer Thus, they dont seek hypnosis No need since no pain
Result: I seldom do work with contactees Apparently positive the good side of encounters
Suddenly very psychic Aware of thoughts of people around her PSI and paranormal effects causing issues in life
Challenge to integrate gifts into life Conducted hypnotherapy not very successful Solution is often to embrace the gift go with it...
This worked(!)
Spiritual Awakening
Many other abductees describe nearly identical effects Similar effect to that of NDE, other traumas
an increase in awareness
Sense of mission:
Many have a job to do when the time is right Technology Spiritual/metaphysical truths Trauma Sense of wonder at contact with the extraordinary Resolve trauma Bring discernment to view of wonder Level the playing field
Mixed Bag:
Concern over potential human ventures to the stars? What are some possible models of contact?
Model of UFO Abduction Analogous to relationship between ranger and animal ? Rangers swoop in with airplane and abduct animals Conduct scientific experiments Implant animals with radio collars, bands, etc... Are the rangers good or evil?
Evil: event is traumatic for the animal Good: they are trying to preserve/manage animal population
PSI/Spiritual Awakening
An awakening described by UFO/NDE experiencers, meditators, trauma victims, etc... Experiencers undergoing accelerated effect (?) Barbara Marx Hubbard: Conscious Evolution
Each person is awakening a movement within society Reaching a critical mass the 100th Monkey effect
Interconnectedness linking experiencers with others Is it goal of Visitors to foster a humanity-wide awakening?
UFO Experiencer spends < 1% of time in alien realm 99% of time in this world Experiencer is a bridge between worlds All of life is affected by alien experiences Challenge
Why Intervene?
War is our largest economic activity WMDs becoming common (nuclear, etc...):
We can destroy a whole planet (ours, theirs?) star drive in a few hundred years May happen well before we become civilized
Prospect of warlike humanity MUST be a concern to Them A possible purpose behind UFO/abduction phenomenon?
UFO reports increased dramatically after WW2 Abductions have accelerated rapidly since 1950s Coincides with:
Rapid advance in human technology Nuclear weapons and space travel Global wars during the 20th century
Is this deliberate or merely a side effect of abduction? Perhaps they are here to civilize us
Human vitality? (Abductees describe a dull realm) Earths resources? Warlike humanity spilling into the galaxy Missionary work in our world
Answer 3) To the wolf, are rangers evil or good? Answer 4) Here for their own purposes?
Summary
Examined abduction Looked at the scope and impact Asked what a possible agenda might be What are the implications? Are they good/evil/something else?
Concluding Notes
Vast scope: Affects vast number of us Phenomenon is little understood Whether for good or for ill is ambiguous
Alien agenda is not understood Depends upon perspective I suggest that it is both and neither (hows that for decisiveness... ) We need to better understand whats going on... How and why are They intervening? What is our relationship to Them? What is their message to us?
