Sara: Species Merger and Human Evolution [from Abduction, 192-208] John Mack Sara was a twenty-eight-year-old grad- uate student when she wrote to me “conventional” and describes herself as committed to experiencing reality as clearly as possible. Sara has never taken drugs and does not drink alcohol. She links this to her encounter experiences and she believes that since she has stopped consuming caffeine, chocolate, and almost all sugar, her experiences have become much more conscious and clear. Sara’s father has died. Although he was intelligent, Sara wonders whether he was dyslexic, and she suspects that that interfered with his ability to do the paperwork necessary to be more successful professionally. A frustrated man, he was physically and _ verbally abusive to Sara’s mother and verbally abusive to Sara. She witnessed frequent arguments between her parents, and on occasions, she saw her father physically abuse her mother. Frightened by her father’s temper, Sara would go into another room to avoid being hit. Sara recalls that her father was kind to her when she was small, but when she began to excel in school, he became quite distant. In contrast, Sara’s mother is quite successful professionally. Sara was especially close to her maternal grandfather, who died when she was in her teens. He was “very benevo- lent,” and “we used to sit just for hours, sit there, and I would read [to] him... He was my source of support, a really good role model.” For about ten years atter he died, Sara would often have the feeling that her grandfather was in the room with her, especially when she was at her desk working. She recalls a “funny” room in her grandfather’s house. As a child, she would frequently go into this room, shut the door, and sit there for a long time. In a “not quite awake” state, Sara would experience a kind of “hazy energy” in the room, but she recalls nothing else about as requesting a hypnosis session. She was planning to travel soon and wrote that she wanted to be hypnotized before she left “in order to release some emotions and information that feel close to the surface and to lessen some feelings of anxiety and confusion that have been increasing in intensity.” Many details of Sara’s file have been omitted in this narrative in order to protect her anonym- ity.

Her drawings also included passageways and “some sort of subtle body field” like an “entity’s subtle body.” Sara is one of an increasing group of abductees who bring a degree of spiritual interest to the understanding of their experiences. Her search for meaning, and the struggle to stretch the boundaries of her own consciousness, enabled her to achieve powerful insights in a short time. In her letter she also wrote that recently she had begun “receiving information linking other entities to issues of plane- tary preservation and ecological transi- tions, especially polar and geomagnetic reversals.”” The desire to serve, “to do something constructive for the world,” is vitally important for Sara, although she does not yet know the form that this will take. Sara grew up outside an industrial city. She calls her Protestant upbringing In 29
