As I mentioned in my introduction on the Newbies section (http://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php/topic,34132.0.html) I have been working on writing a book about an obscure Peruvian relic called the Raimondi Stela and the esoteric teachings I believe it contains that are related to the Fourth Way and the alchemical work, specifically Fulcanelli. The book delves into many topics, and the relic is only the central thread that ties them all together, and was pretty much the starting point that opened all of the necessary doorways for me, all of which led me to LKJ's work and this forum.
In the book I have an entire chapter devoted to LKJ's research and other research about the UFO/abduction/contactee phenomenon. In this chapter I wrote a section about my family's paranormal history, and I really want to share this part with the rest of you, although it will be published in the book when it is finished. I know everyone on this forum will be very fascinated by this section so I couldn't wait that long for you to read it. I really hope you enjoy it, and any feedback is welcome!

I haven't written about it in my book yet, but I also noticed right away a connection to The Greenbaum Speech in my grandfather's story: the fact that he was stripped of his name and renamed "Alpha". Very, very curious!
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed reading this excerpt from my book. I will most likely share other parts of it on here for feedback.

My grandmother has had specific psychic precognition events when she was young, predicting things like plane crashes in her neighborhood and deaths. She even claims to have seen a glowing disk—a Frisbee-shaped light—hovering over the park across the street from our house around the time we first moved here. It vanished instantly, as if a switch was flipped and turned it off.
My uncle, her oldest son, Richard (who we called Uncle Ricky), was diagnosed with schizophrenia at a young age, and led a life of seeing, hearing, and even tasting things that others could not. This drove him to very dark places, resulted in committing crimes, and living on various medications before his untimely death in our house in Elizabeth, NJ, in 2002, after he came from California to live with us for a while to get off the streets. He even hung himself in jail at the age of 19, but my grandma, who knew he was mentally unstable, decided to call in to check up on him; because of this, they found him hanging in his cell just in time and took him down before he died.
Her oldest daughter, my aunt Doreen (who we always called Aunt Sissy growing up) claims to see ghosts and spirits (stories I've been hearing all my life growing up, but was always skeptical about). She claims to have had psychic experiences as well, recounting certain "gut feelings" preventing her from doing certain things that later proved would have turned out badly, as well as a story of being “caught by an angel” after falling down the stairs as a little girl.
Doreen also claims that she has repressed memories of a "recurring dream" from when she was 5-10 years old, in which she was paralyzed and/or controlled and guided out of her house or lifted up through the ceiling, going "passed the telephone pole wires" and on a "roller costar ride". She vaguely recalls being on a table surrounded by other beings “who smelled like sulfur”, and describes it as “being raped”.
Some psychiatrists claim abduction stories are merely psychological dramas created by a victim to mask repressed traumatic memories of molestation. Doreen does recall an early memory of molestation as a child, but the memories of her ‘odd dreams’ are clearly not being used to mask the trauma from that experience because she clearly acknowledges this molestation and has dealt with it, and it took place after she claims to have had these dreams. It is also a common side-effect of "close encounters" for the experiencer to acquire temporary psychic abilities! And Medieval demons were often described as smelling of sulfur; this is a common characteristic of other modern abduction cases, where the entity (typically in the form of a Gray alien) is described as having a foul smell like ammonia, sulfur, or a lit match.
The strangest family story of all is of my grandfather, Frank D. Barnes. My grandmother and aunt both claim that something in him changed before he left my grandmother and his three children (my aunt, uncle, and my father, Stephen) for another woman, eventually moving away to Arizona with her. No one heard from him for fifteen years until my aunt tracked him down and reconnected with him again. Around the time he started seeing this woman, both began to experiment with mystical and occult practices, learning about ‘meditation’ and psychic phenomenon from a spiritualist guru. My aunt claims Frank started wearing red contact lenses, and my grandmother, on separate occasions, told me his eyes turned red (I’m not sure which it is, but they both had experienced these red eyes). My grandmother told me another story from around this time when he came into the house and his own dog, who knew him very well, did not recognize him at all and began to bark at him fiercely. She was convinced it was because of how much he had changed (although I recognize the chance that the dog could have smelled another animal on him) and she was also convinced he was “possessed by something”. It is well known that animals behave oddly during UFO encounters and around their occupants.
Later in his life, when he was older, my grandfather started writing a book. When I was ten I really liked to draw, and when my grandmother told him about this, he asked her to give me the telephone and he requested that I draw the cover of his book. He was my grandpa, so I obviously couldn’t say no. The cover was a badly drawn picture of Moses and Elijah, each with an arching rainbow behind them, and a crude dove and crucifix above in-between the rainbows. I didn’t think much of this at the time, but simply thought it was ‘cool’ that my grandfather liked to write, because I also wanted to be a writer. He sent my grandmother a rough copy of the book—spiral-bound with my drawing on the cover—because he wanted her to help him edit it. She made a lot corrections and notes of criticism, but never sent them to Frank because she was afraid she would hurt his feelings, because he was pretty much a terrible writer and very sensitive.
Years later, when I asked my grandmother about the book again, before the writing of this chapter, she said he was "pretty much trying to rewrite the Bible". I asked her if I could read the book, knowing that he believed he was some kind of ‘prophet’, and after reading Jacques Vallee’s Dimensions in the summer of 2013 at my aunt’s house in Massachusetts, I was very curious if Frank had any strange encounters that instilled this mentality in him.
When I finally found the book and my grandmother’s notes at home, its significance hit me like a ton of bricks—he had “Noah Syndrome” and “Messiah Complex”! Just like Laura Knight-Jadczyk described. He was interested in eschatology and the Christian Rapture, and apparently he believed himself to be some kind of divine prophet from God, sent by Moses to pass on an important message of salvation before the Rapture. Here was another common side-effect of encounters with the Others—self-righteous prophetic narcissism implanted by the Others, which is how they are at the core of the development of organized religions and the resulting pathological personality fixations and conflicts religions produce. These beliefs are stimulated by simulating ‘divine imagery’ and experiences presented by the Others to the contactee, the ‘Chosen One(s)’, initiating a form of wishful thinking that then distracts us from the highly probable and terrible Truth: that we are their food! Such imagery is most likely screen memories to hide far more sinister activities by the Others.
In this self-published and unfinished book called The Alpha Concept, Frank writes about how Moses began to appear to him and teach him about Yahweh and Jesus, and told him that he and his fiancé, Dorothy (the woman he left my grandmother for), were chosen to share their prophetic visions with the world. Moses then strips Frank of his name and renames him “Alpha”. The beginning of the book is biographical, although he does state the book is written as a fictional account of how he envisioned the Rapture would take place, but it’s hard to tell when the biographical part ends and the fiction begins. Regardless, his supposed encounter with Moses—which my grandmother confirms that he did testify actually took place—sounds eerily similar to modern UFO occupant encounters and abductions, angelic and demonic encounters, the fairy and gnome abductions of Irish and Scottish folklore written about by Jacques Vallee, as well as Joseph Smith’s encounter with an ‘angel’ that started Mormonism, also written about by Vallee.
Here is what my grandfather wrote in the prologue:
Notice the similarities to Frank’s ‘encounter’ with ‘Moses’ and historical encounters with the beings associated with UFOs and alien abductions: psychic phenomenon—sending messages into his head (just like alien contactees); the appearance of a strange form of light; being taken into a different realm—a timeless realm—which can happen physically (in the case of Travis Walton, for example) or ‘spiritually’, having the soul/consciousness of the individual taken out of the body, as described in my grandfather’s account; being told that you are ‘special’ and ‘chosen’ for some kind of mission or prophetic purpose. Also take note that in the prologue he recounts this story as the initiating factor for writing his book, stating at the end that his story of Alpha “will be a fictional work, but containing prophecy and truths”, clearly separating most of what is to follow from this initial experience of being ‘taught’ by Moses, which he clearly believed to have actually happened. Whether or not it did is hard to say for sure, but whatever happened changed him dramatically, and he certainly believed it was real.My servnt name from YAHWEH

Prologue 9/21/00
It all began on July 18, 1974, I was living in an efficiency apartment with my fiancée in New Jersey. We were both attending classes on psychic development with a teacher who was a spiritualist minister. She taught us how to meditate and how to touch the spirit world.
At 6:00 p.m. as I sat in meditation I saw a swirling purple form. I became part of the swirl and found myself elsewhere. I saw my body in the chair and my fiancee seated on the couch [my emphasis].
Everything was purple, and across my body was a purple energy. It was an angel who identified himself as Moses, the law-giver of the Old Testament. He said he was my teacher and had been with me a long time [my emphasis].
At that time I worked as a bus driver, with a route from northern New Jersey to New York City. When I reached the stretch of the New Jersey Turnpike, the lectures would begin, with Moses talking to me and teaching me [my emphasis].
He spoke about GOD and JESUS, about this world and the next world. Paul speaks of 3 worlds, and I saw myself this highly evolved spirit experiencing them. He spoke to me about GOD’S world and His plan for our world, and this was all foreign to me at that time.
After several months of lectures Moses told me to open the Bible to Exodus, to read of him. He said all GODS [sic] servants have a new name. He named me. “Alpha,” which represents a new beginning.
I questioned if he was really Moses or a demon? [my emphasis] I never had faith enough to go forward. He said I must help prepare for the two witnesses of Revelation in the last days. Myself and others were to be forerunners of the second coming. The knowledge Moses would bring would involve the teaching of the new body and the New Jerusalem.
I knew many would criticize this work, but sometimes you must step out beyond public opinion. All the old prophets of the Bible did it, some at great cost and suffering. Alpha is to glorify GOD and JESUS CHRIST, who are both Creators.
Since 1974 we have had many prophecies given by Moses, which were fulfilled. They were not publicized but rather were for our own faith to grow stronger. Moses spoke of things so foreign to us, so outrageous at the time, but now they exist.
I was told I would teach and preach to the world and I thought this meant travel, but instead my words go out on the Internet, via satellites that were not known in 1974. I do communicate with the whole world. So the story of Alpha will be a fictional work, but containing prophecy and truths [my emphasis]. Maybe this story will serve as a wedge to pry open the minds that are closed to such things [sic] Alpha hopefully, will gather many until the real day comes, and this story will be presented to the world without fiction.
I am Reverend Frank D Barnes, but my real name is Alpha.

The first chapter describes a second event, years later, which demonstrates more parallels to alien encounters:
What a bizarre story! Notice how the TV went blank—this reminded me of the various cases in which cars and other electronic devices suddenly die in the presence of UFOs only to return to functionality after the experience.I had been waiting 26 years for the promise given in 1974, to be anointed as “Alpha” and healed of my arthritis. Lately I was discouraged. Had this been a dream or in my mind? Was I really going to be a prophet? Was it Satan who spoke to me and not Moses, playing mind games to take away my understanding of the Scriptures.
My wife heard me speak and she asked who I was talking to. I asked for her judgment of what we had received, and she said she believed in it. Once again, I had a tremendous feeling within to continue writing, working on my computer, creating Christian oriented web pages. I do a local TV program on the “new word” but there is not much response from the public. I do get e-mail questions about my work, from around the world. Still, I am encouraged and pushed to continue.
Sometimes I am without faith in my abilities and I search the Internet for answers. I ask YAHWEH for advice and wait for the HOLY SPIRIT to tell me what to write.
Suddenly I felt heat on my body like something was in the room. I felt comfortable with this energy. The room glowed and smelled of roses [my emphasis]. A voice said “Have faith, have faith.” I looked around but saw no one. Then there was a haze in the room and a sound like thunder. I became concerned. Was this a fantasy? There appeared two men, both dressed in white robes. One said “you know who I am, Alpha, don’t you?” It was difficult to speak. My heart pounded and sweat poured from me.
I knew these persons were Moses and Elijah, the two witnesses in the Bible, Revelation chapter 11. They know my thoughts [my emphasis] and the questions were coming so quickly. They said “Quiet down and we will answer you.” I said “I must bring my wife in here to see this. They said” [sic] she has been a good and faithful servant all these years.”
They called out to my wife to enter the room. She was very pale and said “you finally kept your promise you told me one day you’d visit me and speak to me.” We were both in tears with excitement at the realization there is a spirit world where angels dwell and the old prophets live. He said “Look behind me”. It was a vision of one heavenly home to come. All one [sic] friends and family members who had passed on were there, including a child my wife miscarried many years earlier.
He said “ its time now to do the work I promised you, for you to be given the power of the new body. You will be part of the new world. All your pains and suffering will be removed [my emphasis]. All language barriers will be removed, the barriers of mobility and the curtain before your eyes will be removed. You will then clearly see your creator. The language you speak will be heard by all nationalities and understood.”
“Are these gifts? It is up to you to decipher. You must get in touch with others like yourself, and you will continue to receive these gifts as you proceed. As you need these gifts they will be a part of you.”
Then the energy left the room. The color of purple began to dissipate along with the scent of roses. There I sat in joy, to know I was a servant of YAHWEH and His child. My wife and I stayed there in the room and didn’t say a word.
The next day after the visit I was waiting impatiently and couldn’t thing [sic; think] of anything else. For sure, the work would start now. My wife and I still have arthritis and other health problem [sic], are they going to cure us, or are we to continue in pain? I believed the new body was without pain. We are the same as before except for the vision, so I guess I must be patient and wait upon YAHWEH, JESUS and the two prophets. I’ll keep doing my writings and preaching the word, even without the power.
It was now 6:00 p.m. and I was watching TV Dorothy was reading the newspaper. “Love,” I said, “do you think our work is about to start?” She smiled and said “We’ve been waiting a long time. Maybe they’ll be back tonight or tomorrow.”
Suddenly the TV screen went blank but the lights were still on. A cloud appeared in the room, thunder rumbled, and a soft voice spoke [my emphasis]. “Have more patience and I will fulfill all the promises. Be still and know that I am YAHWEH. Rise up early in the morning and I will take you on a trip.”
Now I couldn’t wait to go to sleep and get up early! Dorothy was amazed at the cloud, and the voice spoke to her. He told her she would receive a new language to write, understood by all who believed in YAHWEH and His son JESUS. The HOLY SPIRIT would decipher the language to all, and Dorothy would be His appointed Scribe YAHWEH’S secretary ! [sic] This was amazing!
Dorothy was overcome. YAHWEH’s presence was wonderful and we, [sic] could feel the HOLY SPIRIT telling us to believe and be still because we were in the presence of the creator. I felt like Moses in the book of Exodus, when he had the cloud there to encourage him. Things were moving, and Alpha was coming to life after 26 years of hoping and waiting. Most of my work has been seen by the world.
The cloud remained and knew my thoughts. He said “You are going to receive for the two witnesses. You will prepare for their coming and they in turn will prepare the way for my Sons return to earth.”
“In the morning I will take you where I took the other prophets before you. I will show you the New Jerusalem and the Garden of Eden.”
I sat on the chair and couldn’t move, my heart pounding. The cloud dissipated and the TV snapped back on. I guess He wanted my full attention! Dorothy asked “will He change my name too?” She was so happy to be His scribe, which was a honored profession of old. Most of the population could not read or write, so a scribe was highly respected.
I wondered where I would meet these other prophets, I couldn’t find it in the Bible. But, this is a “new word.” The Testament was a “new word” to the Torah in that day. I imagine I will meet other prophets when I go to the council meeting tomorrow. I can’t wait!
Also take note of how Moses promised Frank a “new body”, which is clearly based on the Bible in which those who are saved after the Rapture would be resurrected in a new body. A similar promise is often made in alien contacts and abductions. For example, a couple of the women in Karla Turner’s case studies written about in Taken: Inside the Alien-Human Abduction Agenda (and in cases recorded by other abduction researchers) report a similar promise by the Others. This book contains the case studies of eight women, and little to none of information was obtained through hypnosis, but from the consciously recalled memories of the abductees that they had to live with everyday. Here is what Turner wrote regarding the case study of a woman named Pat:
And then again in the case study of a woman named Lisa:Of the memories which have surfaced in the past several years, none raises more questions than the "cocoon people." "I can't remember when the actual event might have occurred," Pat told me. "All I recall is being in a large room with soft white lighting, and one of the Grays was there. I vaguely recall seeing a human male there, but not what he was doing."
Part of the large room was filled with what looked to be sarcophagus-like boxes, and in these boxes were human forms. "They were alive," Pat recalled, "but not animated. There was white misty stuff all over them, and I knew the misty stuff kept them alive. I knew they were waiting to come to life in the future."
The being asked Pat, Do you want to see yours?
Pat said, "Yes," and was shown a human female body in one of the containers. "Don't ask how I knew it was female," she continued, "I just felt it. I saw a little bit of human face through the mist, like a nose mouth, eyes, definitely human. I knew this was connected with the 1954 visit, because I remembered they told me they were making a 'new me.' I felt this cocoon was the new me. I felt that they are waiting for the resurrection," she said, "or reanimation, and we will all be able to see and talk with them here on earth. If I were to die now, I believe that my 'other body' will house my soul when Jesus says it is time, and I, too, will come back. If I live through all the destruction (to come) into the new world, I will still need my other body, as this one I have will die anyway."
The second chapter of The Alpha Concept describes the trip Frank and Dorothy were promised to be taken on. Before going to bed, Frank ponders why he was “chosen” and after falling into a dream state around 5:00 AM, the room “lit up” and a set of stairs appeared before him. He stood up and his arthritis pain was suddenly gone and he no longer needed a cane. The stairs took him up like an escalator and a “city suspended in space” appeared before him—a paradise. Here is another characteristic of alien abductions: to be shown a paradise or Utopia.The second controversial area reported by Lisa involves, as with the case of Pat in the previous chapter, the viewing of "new bodies." She told me that her memory of seeing a new body occurred sometime in late 1992. Although she was keeping a journal by that time, which recorded UFO sightings, conscious events, and dreams, both alien-instigated and the normal, self-generated variety, she refused for some reason to include this event in the record.
Lisa recalled lying on a table aboard a craft, with her "new body" beside her. "I got out of my old body," she said, "and stood next to it. I was looking it over, and I even looked at my teeth. The body was perfect, but it had my long hair that I used to have. Somebody said they could make people believe that was me," she continued, "even though it was perfect and with long hair. I wanted so badly to get in it, but I did not. I don't remember who the beings were in the room with me, just being overwhelmed seeing the body. I don't remember how I got back in my old body."
Later, in 1993, Lisa had experienced another dream-event about this situation. "Dreamed of showing my new body to some friends," her journal records, "and reading to them from a special book about humankind. I was reading with some clear instrument like a triangle. Don't remember what I was reading." This scenario of reading a book during an encounter, by the way, is a little-known detail reported in a number of separate cases.
Similar dreams recurred in which she found herself displaying the new body. In one briefly recalled episode she was showing it to her doctor, and in a much more involved dream, Lisa felt as if she had actually died in order to get into the new body, which she then showed to her husband and some other people. There were other details of this dream that suggest it may at the very least have been a screen memory of an actual event. She insisted on keeping her son with her, for example, explaining to her husband that the son "is one of us, like me." Lisa had been told in a past encounter that the aliens were interested only in her and her son, not the entire family.
The encounter in the new body was followed by a more familiar situation, in the exam room. "A doctor and a nurse were giving me an examination," she recalled, "and telling me I had hepatitis. But they were giving me some sort of vaginal exam. I told them to leave me alone, that they weren't my doctors, [but I] don't remember more."
Another common aspect of alien abductions is to be completely immersed in a strange liquid, which is one of the patterns that Turner describes from three of her case studies in Taken. She writes: “In a different dream, Beth was made to immerse in ‘a heavy liquid’ and was surprised to find that she could breathe in it. This scenario is so familiar now that it is often included in the list of most frequently reported abduction events.” Here is a more detailed description of this event:
Now read this passage from chapter two of my grandfather’s book:Puerto Rico, 1978...
Two aliens took Beth down a curved hall and through a door, into a different area. It looked like "a surgery room," and she became afraid they were going to kill her there. A third entity, holding a black box, moved to a position behind Beth. She could not see what he did, but she felt as if her head was being opened and her brain removed, all without any sensation of pain. After she was "all put back together again," a cold liquid was poured over her head.
When this procedure was finished, the aliens stood in front of her, and Beth realized that mentally she was different. Her thoughts about everything were changed, and she was filled with new ideas about God and the unity of all life within that supreme source [my emphasis].
This very spiritual moment was followed by a quite physical exam, as the aliens took samples from her skin and hair. A human-looking man with a widow's-peak hairline entered and made a full examination of her body, including a gynecological procedure. Then he explained many things, telling her that she and other humans had been "chosen" to carry out certain "jobs" in the future [my emphasis].
Studying abduction cases has shown us that it is very possible that screen memories can be implanted into the abductee in order to mask what really happened to them, and even under deep hypnotic regression, these may be mostly what we’re actually accessing. This obviously makes studying and understanding the phenomenon problematic, which seems to be the intentions of the Others—to confuse us and make us back off. It certainly works at keeping most legitimate scientists at bay from examining these cases and some of the physical traces they leave, such as implants and marks on the body, specifically in the shape of equilateral triangles.“There was a castle to my left and a round building next to it. “That’s where the council meets. Would you like to visit the Garden of Eden?” Moses said. There was a lake and I began to walk around it, but Moses said, “You must walk through the lake. When you enter you must be cleansed of all your frailties, purged of all the evil within. It is a baptism. Only pure souls are allowed into the Garden of Eden.”
I walked through the lake, the water around me, but Moses and Elijah walked over the water, two inches or so. The water rose and approached my head. Moses said, “you must cleanse your whole body.” I kept walking as the water washed over the top of my head.
Then I couldn’t remember any bad things I did in my life, not the first or the last. I felt reborn into a new body. As I came up out of the water I felt tremendous peace. All my pain was gone, and it seemed a curtain had been removed from my mind. I understood who I was, who YAHWEH and JESUS were. It was far beyond human thought. I had entered the realm of inter-dimensional thought.
I don’t know if Frank’s arthritis actually went away, but if it did, it must have only been temporarily because everytime I met him in my childhood, when he came to Jersey from Arizona to visit the family, he was in terrible health and his arthritis was the worst I have ever seen. His hands were practically stuck in a scrunched up position, and he could barley even write anymore; his handwriting looked like chicken scratch. There are, of course, many cases of miraculous healing associated with UFO/occupant encounters, such as the case of the anonymous “Dr. X” in France on November 1, 1968. But for someone who claims to have received a “new body” from angelic messengers of God, his health declined very quickly and he could hardly walk, yet my grandmother (who was older than him by a few years) was in much better health. Even after all these years of aging since he passed away, she is still in phenomenonal health compared to the condition he was in when writing this book. It was as if he began to age faster.
Turner addressed these miraculous healings in her lectures, because many abductees who experienced such healings saw this as an example that the aliens must be good and here to help us. She dispels this notion by using the example of a cow farmer: when a cow gets sick, the farmer tends to the cow immediately. Why? Because he knows what he really needs the cow for—as a resource, as sustenance. Just because an entity heals us may not exactly mean they are trying to help us; they could just be a “concerned farmer” according to Turner.
There are more strange encounters in Frank’s book, but these examples should suffice for the time being in demonstrating the similarities between my grandfather’s experiences, which he perceived as positive and enlightening, to alien abductions and contacts that are often perceived as positive and enlightening, but which are obviously deliberately deceptive apparitions projected onto the abductee and contactee for nefarious purposes. Remember what Karla Turner said? “Through the past decades the aliens have made various predictions and promises and given a number of very specific warnings about impending events. …[Aliens are] not a reliable source.” The prophet-pattern has been associated with UFO occupant encounters since the 1950s: ‘You’re special! We chose you for these revelations. You have an important message to pass on to the rest of humanity! We’re here to save you and humanity, and we’re concerned about your well-being and the impending destruction of your world.’
The Others can obviously appear in all different forms, as Vallee has made quite clear. But just because we encounter so many different kinds of entities does not exactly mean we’re dealing with different species of extraterrestrials, especially because these different forms of modern-day encounters appear in all sorts of combinations together. In Taken, Turner writes:
As Turner makes very clear, even religious figures like Jesus have appeared in these contact and abduction cases! This fact makes it obvious that Frank wasn’t actually visited by Moses or Elijah (setting aside the fact that such characters cannot be proven to have even existed historically) but by entities masquerading as such.In the "Contacts" category there are eight different situations reported, and seven of these eight have been reported by all of the women. These include UFO sightings; missing time as a child; missing time as an adult; consciousness of an encounter; virtual-reality events; telepathic communications; and the extension of alien involvement into lives of other family members. Three of them experienced missing time or abductions with other people.
The data indicates, then, that the phenomenon is not imaginary or self-generated, that it is linked to the UFO sightings, that it involves a generational interest on the part of the aliens, and that contact can be made by remote means.
The "Aliens" category contains a surprising variety of physical types reported, including some that are rarely mentioned elsewhere. While all eight women encountered the Gray aliens, the Whites (insectoid) and the hooded figures are almost as common, turning up in seven accounts. Blond humanoid figures have been seen by six of the women, as have the cat-eyed or reptoid type. Half of the women reported a wrinkle-faced entity similar to a tall Gray or White, as well as a shorter, often hairy creature variously referred to as a "troll" or "dwarf." And both a blue entity and a "Jesus" figure have been witnessed by three of the women [my emphasis].
In addition to noting the variety of physical types, it is important to realize that every combination of these different entities have been reported working together in abduction scenarios. It is hard to conclude, then, that the various types are really separate groups carrying out separate functions or missions.
My grandfather’s experiences sound similar to those of Ted Rice, who Turner wrote about in her third and last book, Masquerade of Angels, before she died of a mysterious fast-acting cancer. Ted was also a proclaimed psychic, and a spiritualist minister; if you recall my grandfather’s words, it was a spiritualist minister who had ‘taught’ him and Dorothy about meditation and psychic abilities. These Others appear as angels, prophets, and other religious figures to trigger a specific response to them as ‘divine messengers of God!’ or in the cases where they are perceived as extraterrestrial rather than angels, as our ‘benevolent space brothers’. The pattern between both types of encounters is the same, and we are clearly dealing with the same entities, and they are deliberately deceptive. A lot of this type of material also came through, and continues to come through, channeled sources (contactees) rather than abductions. My grandfather seems to be more of a contactee, but as you can see, parts of his story sound a lot like abductions masked by screen memories.
I haven't written about it in my book yet, but I also noticed right away a connection to The Greenbaum Speech in my grandfather's story: the fact that he was stripped of his name and renamed "Alpha". Very, very curious!
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed reading this excerpt from my book. I will most likely share other parts of it on here for feedback.
