Kindle Notes & Highlights
One type seems to involve the approach of a single individual or small group,
The other type of incident is the long visitation, as the ones that occurred when we were on the train in 1957, in Austin the August before the incident at my grandmother’s, and on December 26, 1985. These experiences usually include more interaction and often take place on the visitor’s own turf.
The short visits seem almost always to concern psychological activity, the long ones to involve more physical testing, almost as if preparations are made or results observed during those times.
Running through my memories there is a consistent flavor of intense terror. But is it only my terror, the terror of the body, biological terror?
There may be things about contact between beings formed in different biospheres that we do not understand at all. Perhaps they feel some instinctive emotion, too. I have the impression that these experiences are very intense for them, if not actually frightening.
“I couldn’t, because I wouldn’t. I—Was I afraid to, or wasn’t supposed to? I wasn’t supposed to. It was like your mother said to you, ‘You have to stay here,’ even if you don’t—you’re dying to get out and see what’s going on, but you know because you’ve been told.” (Her identification of the directing force as feminine is fascinating.)
There’ve been some times when he’s seemed frightened, but I don’t think there’s ever been a time when he screamed. You know, it’s frightening to see a man scream, because men don’t scream. Maybe they should or could, but they don’t.
Maybe it was the tone of voice that made them sound soothing. Saying like, ‘That’s OK, don’t be afraid.’”
“Tell us what you’re feeling now, Anne.” “I feel like I don’t want to say anything. I don’t know why that is. Usually I say a lot of things. [Long pause.]”
As the intensity of the experience built, Anne became uneasy with her role. “Things were going on and I wanted to know what was going on!” Her tone became forceful, almost angry.
Anne’s hypnosis strongly suggested that I’m taken all the time. And mine as well implied more than the two recent occasions.
there are things “going on” with me that she wasn’t “supposed” to know. She then revealed a definite role: “I’m supposed to kind of help him afterwards to deal with it. That’s my role. But I can’t stop them, you know. He just has to.”
Suddenly she said in a strange basso profundo voice: “The book must not frighten people. You should call it Communion, because that’s what it’s about.” I looked over at her intending to say why I thought my title was better, and saw that she was totally asleep. Then I realized where I have heard that voice before.
There were reports that instruments or people operating these machines were also of very light weight, sufficient to withstand the tremendous deceleration and acceleration associated with their machinery. I remember in talking with some of the people at the office that I got the impression these “aliens” were constructed like certain insects we have observed on earth…. I still do not know why the high order of classification has been given and why the denial of the existence of these devices.
The flying object landed on a ranch near Roswell sometime last week. Not having phone facilities, the rancher stored the disc until such time as he was able to contact the sheriff’s office, who in turn notified Major Jesse A. Marcel of the 509th Bomber Group Intelligence Office. Action was immediately taken and the disc was picked up at the rancher’s home. It was inspected at the Roswell Army Air Field and subsequently loaned by Major Marcel to higher headquarters.
Cornell University professor Dr. Carl Sagan has stated many times that there is no evidence that unidentified aerial objects—and presumably visitors—exist.
Can it be that the government is inadvertently helping them do this, or even that they have somehow compelled it to act as it does? Certainly the combination of visitor and government secrecy has led to profound public confusion.
The visitation continued through the night. In the morning the general ordered a group of scientific investigators to determine what had caused the strange disturbance. After consultation they announced that “it was only the wind making the stars sway.” They are to be forgiven the profundity of their confusion, for the date of this occurrence was September 24, 1235, 751 years ago.
I have reported that the being I have become familiar with looks like Ishtar. Maybe she is: She said she was old.
“The tallest of them denied that God had made the world from eternity. On the contrary, the other added that God created it from moment to moment, so that should He desist for an instant the world would perish….”
I was shown a picture of another city they are building. What we’re doing now to our planet is killing it little by little, and it’s going to come to a point where there’s not going to be anything left. I think that they’re getting ready to start another world. And there will be people who are a part of that.
“When I get to thinking about it alone, by myself, I get a little angry, and I begin to think, Who the hell do they think they are that they can just do what they want to us, as though we’re nothing.
They’re interested in us because we are different. And we value the difference, and our individual freedom. And we feel that when we were abducted, that individual freedom has been taken away, and they don’t understand that. They don’t really understand our sense of freedom and being allowed our own will.”
(Note: Sally’s experience involves seeing not only visitors but seeming humans involved with them. It is these people that she apparently did not wish to recognize,)
“Truly different from this place here. That’s for sure. She says that it is for the young and strong. She doesn’t quite know whether that means physically young and strong or mentally young and strong. But it will only be for those people.”
(I then asked the group what their jobs were There was revealed a profile of people on the run, constantly making changes, moving, leaving, escaping. One of them, Jenny, had just fulfilled her lifelong dream to move to New York and “live in a big city full of lights and lots of people.” She has had this aspiration since she was nine.
So it’s mixed feelings. I feel that they demand loyalty.”
they don’t understand so many things, and they don’t make an effort to understand.
He maintained that they had shown him respect by allowing him to know what was happening to the child, and not only that, that the child was unharmed in the morning, and seemed filled with a new light of the mind.
That day, the child made the following comments: “Reality is God’s dream,” and “The unconscious is like the universe beyond the quasars. It’s a place we want to go to find out what’s there.” He also said, “Dad, I had a dream last night. It was like a dream but it wasn’t a dream. I was in the woods and a huge eye was looking down at me.”)
Budd: “It’s very common that people say that they’ve felt they’re afraid of us.”
For the experience does have its symbolic center in the number three and the triangular shape. The visitors often appear in threes. They project triangular lights. They have been reported to wear various types of triangular devices and emblems. People see three pyramids or three triangles in connection with them. A huge triangular-shaped object is sometimes sighted.
We could be part of a triad that includes the visitors. They might be the aggressive force, entering us, enforcing our passivity, seeking to draw from the relationship some new creation. But the triad can never come into harmony until there is a firm ground of understanding.
And the duality, when it was in harmony, formed the triad.
Unless the two forces are equal, the triad will not have a chance to balance itself and the relationship will not be creative.
When the internal triad of mind, body, and heart becomes fixed in a state of permanent harmony, it is because the seeker has finally died to himself and all the allures of life. Out of this death the fourth state emerges.
The Aztec poets sang of the creative impact of the God and Goddess of Duality, and called the third force the song of the flower.
What is the true aim of mind? Does it seek knowledge only for the sake of constructing the intricate pleasures and poisons of technology, or just to know, or is there another dancer in the shadows?
A striking fact of the colloquy was the general expectation of catastrophe,
Looking back over my experiences with the visitors, I cannot say that I felt inferior to them. On the contrary, the people I encountered did not seem superior so much as wiser, but also more simple and unformed as individuals. And they not only feared me, they seemed in awe of me. When they asked me what they could do to help me stop screaming, there was an edge of panic among them.
