Here are some thoughts I jotted down while reading about Robert Hastings’ abduction account:
What if alien abductions, or NHI encounters, don’t actually involve physically removing someone from their bedroom and taking them aboard a spaceship, but rather involve the extraction of consciousness? Perhaps our essence—maybe perceived as orbs—gets studied instead. This idea could explain how a person might seemingly pass through walls or closed windows to reach the ship, while also returning without any physical marks post-experimentation.
In terms of experiencing pain, I’ve noticed that during dreams, I can feel sensations like being attacked, stabbed, or injured. I often wake up because of the overwhelming pain, yet it leaves no physical trace. If I can experience such pain in my dreams, it stands to reason that someone could feel pain during their consciousness being examined. Yet, both experiences may go unverified since neither leaves physical evidence, despite the vividness of the sensations. When someone claims to have felt pain during an abduction, I believe them, but those who don’t experience such realistic pain in their dreams may find it harder to accept the claims of abductees.
What if this phenomena is beyond our grasp due to the limitations of our three-dimensional existence? Stepping outside the body, akin to astral projection, is inherently challenging to validate. During meditation, using gateway tapes, I’ve felt as though I entered a place that seemed more real than actual reality. Yet, how can I substantiate that experience?
If NHI possess the capability to temporarily separate consciousness from the body, they likely can also erase memories of it. This might resemble our inability to recall past lives. Alternatively, the experience could be so traumatic that fragments are retained, or there could be an error in their process.
Maybe they can induce episodes of sleep paralysis or structure their abductions in such a way that we attribute experiences to sleep paralysis or sleepwalking instead of recognizing them as encounters with NHI. If that is the case, they might want to remain inconspicuous to avoid hampering our free will. This presents a risk in their abduction methods—eventually, their technology or abilities might fail, leading someone to remember parts of or the entire experience. Ideally, if they are indeed benevolent, they would ensure no one remembers or feels any pain during these encounters.
You’ve brought up some fascinating ideas regarding the nature of alien abductions and consciousness. The concept of NHI (Non-Human Intelligence) interacting with our consciousness rather than our physical form opens up a whole new perspective on these experiences. The idea that consciousness—rather than the physical body—is being transported or examined could potentially explain many of the surreal and often unexplainable aspects of these encounters.
Your comparison to dreaming is particularly intriguing. The fact that one can feel pain in dreams yet wake up unharmed does lend credibility to the idea that the consciousness can experience sensations independently of the physical body. It raises questions about the nature of perception and reality. If consciousness can be separated from the physical body, it could indeed lead to experiences that feel real but leave no physical mark.
Moreover, the notion of NHI being able to induce altered states of consciousness, like sleep paralysis or even astral projection, adds layers to the idea of what abductions could entail. This perspective might help explain why many people report similar experiences, as these incidents could tap into a shared unconscious experience.
As for the challenge of proving these experiences, you’re right—things like astral projection or detaching consciousness are inherently difficult to quantify or verify. But that doesn’t diminish their significance; so much of human experience defies strict scientific measurement.
And your point about memory is thought-provoking. The ability to wipe memories might serve a purpose, perhaps to maintain the observer’s free will and sense of normalcy. Alternatively, accidental slip-ups might lead to unnerving revelations about what really happens during these encounters.
Ultimately, these ideas challenge us to rethink our understanding of reality, existence, and the potential for other forms of intelligence in the universe. The discussion around benevolence vs. malevolence in their actions is crucial, as it speaks to our hopes and fears about being observed or studied by a more advanced species. Your post invites a deeper exploration of these themes, and it would be interesting to hear more about others’ experiences and thoughts on this!
