I too have gained some clarity through spiritual channels. You may be interested in my latest interview with August Goforth - a psychotherapist and medium whose written on Psychotherapeutic Mediumship. Www.qhcubedcom.com...

Well said and I agree. I believe the abduction issue is less about a problem to solve and more about humanity's growing awareness of its multidimensional nature.

Thank you Alex for asking the tough questions, as always. I'll was hoping to keep this brief, but... Jacob's premise that spiritual transformation is simply not part of the abduction phenomenon perhaps is and is not accurate. His view does however, expose where his research starts and stops. He...

Personally, I think Jacob's is a very competent, sober researcher. His dogged Dragnet-like approach of pursuing just the 'facts' paints a no nonsense summary of the abduction phenomenon, which has helped create a nice launching point for further research. Where he tends to lose me, however, is...

This train of thought again brings to mind the ontological challenge these experience produce. When we don't have answers, we struggle to find the gap where the answers fit. Yet we really don't know if there's any pieces missing or even a puzzle. It brings to mind the Buddhist quote "life is...

Thanks for your feedback. I think you've changed my perspective, and perhaps this will change a few things.

Thanks for your reaction albeit it appears a judgemental one. In the meantime, if your interested in challenging the theory behind your reaction, please read "Family Evaluation, the role of the family as an emotional unit that governs individual development," by Michael E. Kerr and Murray Bowen...

Perhaps the word "transformation" carries to much baggage. Consider this: In families, total system transformation (or Secondary Change) can result from one members change. It's not as magical as you might think. I think this process applies equally to cultures and global systems. Perhaps what's...

I'm presently writing a piece that addresses many of these issues. Personally, I think a lot of what you see in the aftermath of these transformative episodes, i.e. the community dissonance, or "the crazy factor," is related to personality. The psyche gets a shock. It's exposed to impossibility...

Good comment. Yes, I see good evidence for this in therapy. It's almost looks like a deconstruction process. It very closely resembles Spiritually Transformative episodes, or a positive sub-psychotic process if you're viewing it through a mainstream psychological lens. What's interesting to me...

Thanks for the feedback. I agree nothing groundbreaking. But the point is not to be revolutionary, but to point out a larger pattern of resistance. Here's the bottom line. It's not just experiences that are repeatedly overlooked. It's the function of transformation and transformation themes...

I agree, Alex. And I get what you're laying down here, castles in the sand.... We always have to have a starting point. That's why I'm examining the family systems producing these types of experiences. Perhaps a pattern will emerge in the types of structures, relationships, or hierarchies of the...

Great discussion! I'd like to wade in here on a couple points. First, I'm a psychotherapist and marriage and family therapist researching this very subject. Actually anomalous phenomenon, which includes a broad spectrum of what people are calling "paranormal" experiences these days. Alien...
