Alien Abductions

Abductee: "I was abducted by Greys last night who took me aboard their ship."
Translation: "My life is so boring that I must live in a fantasy world and try to convince others of my sincerity and my importance."
Solution: Put away the drugs. Get a hobby and a romantic partner. Better still: Become a sci-fi writer. Turn your pathology into $$$.

I'm working on a novel right now, it's about a person trying to raise human consciousness by the year 2012 and his neighbor who is a paranoid schizophrenic and their realities start becoming all too similar... none of you better steal my idea, I've already written 10 pages.
Back to the topic on hand, I think it is healthy to write down your drug induced revelations or paranormal experiences or what have you and examine whether they can be integrated into your everyday life in a purposeful manner or whether they would be better left aside.

That is an alternative that never occurred to me. However, belief in alien abductions has little relevance to intelligence.

The THREAT: Revealing the Secret Alien Agenda by David M. Jacobs
Amazon.com Editorial Review
Sometimes pop culture produces its best comedies by accident--witness the Hula-Hoop craze, roller disco, and now the alien abduction phenomenon. In this hilarious "exposé" David Jacobs reveals the secret agenda that compels aliens to abduct human men and women. Some of the best material is in his section on research methods, where he decries the use of hypnotism by other alien-abduction specialists, because it can produce false memories; he then goes on to explain that most of his data comes from hypnotically induced recollections. The stories he relates from the various abductees he has worked with are all titillatingly sexual, and Jacobs writes that this consistency proves not that people are prone to sexual fantasies, but that the aliens are using humans for their breeding program. Filled with delightful howlers of this sort, The Threat is a laugh riot from beginning to end. Toss out your Dave Barry books and move up to the real thing.

Gee Shmoopy, how come Jacobs' conclusions in no way match the godfather of modern abductions, Whitley Streiber's?
That's easy, OC. Too much overlap reduces book sales dramatically.
But then that means either one or both are liars or delusional, doesn't it?

Abductee Speaks Out
Becky
Part 1: Beginnings
Sometimes when I look back over my early life, I wonder how I missed them: gaps of time as long as nine hours, bumps and bruises, odd dreams and ideas. All of them idly wondered about, but never considered for any length of time. They never struck me as abnormal, since they had been going on from my earliest memories. This was simply just how life was and I learned to adapt to it.
As a young child, I knew there were “monsters” that visited my room at night. I didn’t like them and I developed a fear of the dark. When I would try to tell my parents about the “monsters,” they would ridicule me and tell everyone what an “overactive imagination” I had. Embarrassed, I learned not to talk about the events that were happening to me. Around the age of 10, the fear of the dark grew to the point where I begged for a nightlight. Even with it on, I would lie awake terrified that someone was in my room.
Children, monsters, nightmares and the dark? WTF? That is evidence!

Thanks for clearing that up about Black people. BTW, you win 'The Strawman of the Month Award' for that observation.
Every link you gave merely tells a story; some already discredited; some heresay. There is not one scintilla of hard evidence among the lot. Try again.
BTW, Swami was a real jerk and to insuate we are similar is not very nice.

*insinuate
I've been using dmt a lot recently and I've had some experiences that if a normal, sober person was to experience, they would probably claim alien abduction/implantation
I'm not saying things one way or the other, but I do believe there are all sorts of other living creatures out there. Whether or not they are abducting us silly monkeys I don't know

This no makee sense. If one is on DMT they are not sober, and if sober are not tripping. :shrugs:

it's not hard to understand; let me break it up for you
I've been using dmt a lot recently and have had some experiences that if a
normal, sober person was to experience, they would probably claim alien abduction/implantation
(saying if the sober person were to experience these things, they would think they were being abducted)
I definitely have to lean towards strassman's theory of dmt rushes causing sober people to experience 'alien encounter' type experiences...that is if his other theory is correct about endogenous dmt
better?

I think he meant if someone was unaware that it was a DMT trip.

rational empiricist cartesian dualism
do you swear by these philosophies, Orgone?
Quote:
nothing which cannot be recognised by the intellect (or reason) can be classified as knowledge. These truths are gained "without any sensory experience", according to Descartes. Truths that are attained by reason are to be broken down into elements which intuition can grasp, which, through a purely deductive process, will result in clear truths about reality.
I hope this isn't considered a personalism, I'm just interested in your perspective.
You seem to believe very strongly in Cartesian Dualism: there are two things in this world, the physical and the mind. These paranormal experiences happen to a sick mind which exists in a physical world? The physical is outside of us and the mind creates ideas and images which a person navigates the physical world with? To have a paranormal experience is to somehow lose your mind and literally lose touch with the physical?
Maybe you believe that all experiences are real in a sense but that all statements must be logically consistent with a certain scientific paradigm in order for them to be considered true (for the sake of being able to communicate our experiences)? So, saying greys exist is false because science has no explanation for them, so when someone says they have seen greys they are talking "nonsense"? Like, saying I was abducted by greys is synonymous to saying "fluffy my and red ok!"?
Is it more like a quantum thing, a many worlds theory, where the desire to escape this reality is so strong that a person succeeds and just coincidently it is always in the form of an alien abduction, but this is against some sacred law because it puts our collective reality at risk of being invaded by aliens and following certain beliefs will steer us in the right cosmic direction?
Do you simply believe that the person is bored and wants attention and so flat out makes up a story for some 15 minutes of fame? One person did this a long time ago, and then there have been multiple copycats because the story is always vaguely possible and excites the imagination?
Or do you just like trying to frustrate true believers and mystics (honestly?)
I'm not trying to corner you, I've never had an abduction myself and it seems curious - you seem like a smart person, so I thought I would try and gauge your viewpoint and maybe learn something.

My opinion is not truly necessary which is quite important as bullshit usually relies on hyperbole.
1. Sleep paralysis can mimic conditions claimed by abductees? True or False
2. Hypnotic regression (the favored method for bringing these stories to light) has been able to create false memory? True or False
3. All removed 'implants' have been shown to be bone, glass, cysts, metal, scar tissue and other common earth-based objects? True or False
4. There is not a single credible video of an abductee being abducted? True or False
5. Alleged abductees in Sleep Research centers have claimed to be abducted while being filmed in their beds for the entire period. True or False
There is more, but that should suffice to an unbiased, rational mind.

I see, so an alien abduction is probably just a case of sleep paralysis/astral projection combined with a lack of meaningful adventure in the person's life which causes the person to self-induce hypnotic regression in order to make the event seem much more meaningful than it was.
Makes a lot of sense to me now It's funny how these people always say that the experience was dream-like and then they forgot most of it because, they assume, the aliens erased their memories.

I thought we were supposed to attack ideas, not people.
I was abducted by "Greys" as a child, I know it wasn't a dream or movie I saw for many reasons, including my parent's story of how I went missing overnight when I was 5.
I have an AWESOME life, and no need to spend much of it here, as you can see from my post count. I don't care what you think of me or if you believe me, I just want to point out that many well-balanced and successful people have had these experiences.
You seem so sure of everything, I know nothing I say will pull your head out, but for the audience, here is what I am 99% sure of:
They are not Grey, that is the color of their suits, they are actually a peach/pink with translucent scales.
They are not from outer space, they have been here on Earth for thousands of years living in subterranean cities.
1) True, but that disproves nothing.
2) True, ditto
3) FALSE, many implants have been found to be "meteorite" or non-earth-based metals.
4) FALSE, videos exist, but have never been released to the public. (absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, btw)
5) True, but just becuase 90% of abductees are quacks doesn't mean the authentic 10% are.
That's all I'm going to say, I have better things to do than talk to brick walls.
