The Light - Twenty toward her, although he didn’t understand why. The woman went to the counter for a black, rectangular box, which she carried back over to the table where Teddy’s body lay. With a single motion, she turned his body over and placed the black box on the shoulder area. Wires were then attached to the box, and the woman somehow activated it. The little spirit image was slowly sucked into the box, which the woman then removed and replaced on the counter. Next, she pulled down an instrument from the ceiling and turned it on. “T see what looks like a dentist’s drill,” Ted described for Barbara, “kind of on a hook, expanding. They’re using some- thing like this, working on my head, the lower neck.” “Can you describe this action?” Barbara asked. “They do something on both sides of the back of my neck, the lower part,” Ted explained. “I don’t like them doing that. That’s when things started happening in my mind, when I see them doing that.” “What was happening in your head?” “What I didn’t like was forgetting things,” Ted groped for the words to explain the sensation. “I wasn’t remembering very well.” Teddy saw a thin beam of light at the tip of the instrument, watching as the woman moved it down to the back of his neck. With the light beam she swiftly severed the head from the body and placed it in a basket-sized container on the floor. The table tilted again slightly, allowing the blood from the body to flow into a vat. Teddy’s mind went completely blank. When he was next aware, he could hear a noise like a large resuscitator in the distance. And he was looking down on row after row of short tubs or containers. “Give me all the impressions of where you are now,” Barbara directed. “This room’s a lot bigger,” Ted said, “‘and I can see lock- ers, like in a gymnasium. There seem to be lockers all the way around the walls, everywhere.” Masquerade of Angels 200 The Light - Twenty The tubs pulsated to the rhythm of the noise, and he could see that they were filled with dark red liquid in which chunks of fleshy tissue floated. The sides of the tubs appeared to be made of cowhide. At the end of each tub, he saw something that reminded him of the genitals of a cow, and as he watched, one of these area opened, releasing a placenta-like bubble of dark red substance. The gray beings picked up this mass and carried it over to a sink-type receptacle. They turned on a water outlet and gently washed the bubble. When they turned back around, Teddy could see that they held a tiny baby. “Describe these lockers, please, Ted,” Barbara requested. “They’re not lockers,” he replied, becoming more agitated with each word. “They’re compartments, theyll open, and there’s something in all of those.” “What’s in there?” Barbara asked. “T can’t look,” he whispered, breathing rapidly. “Oh! Oh! No! I want up!” Ted fought to escape from the couch, panicked by the vision of the compartments. It was all Barbara could do to keep him subdued as she worked to soothe his terror and return him to more control. “Lie down, Ted,” she murmured, “and relax. Relax. It’s okay, you can cry. It’s all right.” One of the beings went over to a short cabinet in a locker area and opened the door, placing the baby inside. The other being acti- vated a control on the locker, and a few minutes later opened the door again. It rolled out what looked like a small wind-tunnel con- traption. Within it was a tray, and on the tray Teddy saw a body identical to his, completely naked. The beings moved this body over to the tilted table, which now stood empty, and placed it on the metal surface. Then the woman brought back the black box and set it on the body’s chest. Teddy could not see exactly what was done at that point, but he could see the naked body suddenly begin to jerk in short spasms. After that, the chest started to rise and fall, as if the body was now breathing. The woman removed the black box, replacing it on the counter. She and her gray helpers next inserted long, needle-like instruments Masquerade of Angels 201
