March/April, 2009 - The truth shall set you Free

The last little while has been pretty busy. After a bit of a hiatus, suddenly I am doing a fair number of regressions with close encounter experiencers again. What's going on? I don't know. But I sense that more people are remembering their encounters. And perhaps the phenomenon itself is becoming busier, as well.

Several recent regressions have been outstate, out in the Minnesota sticks (from the point of view of we urban dwellers...). Most of them have had the same theme, a series of classic small-gray intrusions and abduction events late at night. Because of these, for many, life's long-time nightly companion has been fear. But for some experiencers, at some point, an emotional, mental and spiritual awakening occurs. Suddenly, fear turns into understanding. When it does, the result can be a joy to behold. Almost out of the blue, a lifetime of suffering culminates in new insight - a new path for the experiencer. And with this insight comes freedom.

I will aggregate the accounts of several experiencers into the account of an imaginary composite character I will call "Tanya." Although Tanya does not actually exist, the descriptions of this interview/regression are typical of many I have conducted, both in my studio and out in the field. In this case, Tanya recently contacted me to indicate that she had had a number of unexplained encounters. She asked me to do some regression work with her and I agreed. We set a time when I could drive out to her family's farm and interview her, her husband and her kids.

I interviewed the family and learned that most of them had seen or experienced extraordinary events. Tanya's mother and grandmother had had a lifetime of strange experiences. Tanya's husband had also had a number of sightings, although it did not appear that he had been abducted, per se. Her children, especially her eldest daughter, had had unexplained events, and were both empathic and gifted - what I often think of as Indigo children.

Tanya and I talked for some time, with Tanya describing the long chain of events that dotted the landscape of her life. She described fear, frustration and unending mystery. But most of all, she said she felt as if something was missing. She was supposed to know something, do something - or who knows what. And the biggest thing she wanted from our work was to understand what this hidden secret was.

Tanya was an excellent hypnotic subject, and went into deep trance very quickly. We established a safe place (a mental refuge in case the regression material becomes too much - this is standard practice in hypnotic regression work), and then went back to her most recent event. She recounted this scenario several times. We then went back in time to an earlier similar event - and so on.

We had worked our way back through her life, with her recounting one after another encounter, when suddenly she interrupted herself with the words, "The eyes are watching me..."

I asked her to explain what she had just said and she told me that they were always following her. They monitored her every move and thought (many experiencers describe this). She described them as a pair of disembodied black eyes, such as one would expect to see on the face of a gray alien. She said that they were right there watching us, and (still in deep trance) she looked over to a corner of the room along the ceiling. I turned and looked up, half expecting to see a pair of large black eyes staring at me from above the curtain rod. I saw nothing, but still I noted the fear in Tanya's eyes.

I finally asked to speak with the eyes (what hypnotherapists refer to as "calling out a part"). To my surprise, “the eyes” said yes. I then asked them what their purpose was in Tanya's life. At first, they said it was none of my business. But finally they said they were scientists, studying and experimenting on Tanya. I asked them how they helped Tanya - no reply except an arrogant snort. I asked what their intentions were, to which they replied that Tanya had some important talent that they needed.

To maintain hypnotic rapport with the eyes, I thanked them for their time and asked if I could speak with them again later. Again surprisingly, they agreed. I was somewhat taken aback at their arrogance - the contempt with which they seemed to view humans such as Tanya, myself, and anyone else. Still, I couldn't help but wonder if they were afraid. I suspect this was why they were trying to discourage my work with Tanya.

Eventually, it emerged that Tanya felt empty and divided. There was an extraordinary side of her that held tremendous insight and a Universal worldview. However, this extraordinary side was separated from the physical world. At the same time, there was another side of Tanya that wanted normalcy - to live a normal life as a wife, worker, mother and ordinary human. I referred to this part as "Normal" while the other part became "Extraordinary."

It was time to reach into the hypnotherapy tool box and once again pull out the "parts-work" tool. In this technique, the hypnotist serves as mediator between the two conflicting parts of the mind, mediating the issue(s) between them until resolution is reached. This helps to resolve many of the “gridlocks” that can bring about indecision and inner conflict. In this case, the issue was the abyss between Normal and Extraordinary, causing Tanya considerable grief. It was her "Shattered Reality."

I talked with the two parts, one at a time, building rapport with each. I then invited each to picture a bridge between them. They did so and suddenly Tanya felt a flood of insight. I could almost picture it as if she were trying to drink from a fire hose. She started to describe a few of the most accessible tidbits of knowledge and I was amazed at the complexity of what she said. I imagine it will take quite some time for her to digest what she learned in those first few moments, and as she does I imagine she will fill a lot of notebooks. I suggested that she start writing as soon as possible.

Another thing she told me; this awakening was indeed what the eyes most feared. For them, the worst thing that could happen was the experiencer becoming awakened and self-empowered, bridging the gap between "here" and "there." And now, this very thing had happened. Suddenly, Tanya told me, the eyes were gone. Tanya was free.

I often wonder if this is an aspect of what Jesus taught when he said, "The truth shall set you free." In the metaphysical realm, as in any other aspect of life, knowledge is power. In this case, the playing field was now leveled as Tanya reclaimed the power over her own life. She was now a free citizen of the Universe.

In the ensuing months and years, I believe that she - and eventually we - will learn a lot more. But for now, it is enough that Tanya has bridged the gap between the Normal and the Extraordinary, her Cosmic Bridge to the other side of the sky. She is now on the road to understanding - she has found her truth, and it has set her free.
