hypnosis, such as disturbing dreams, possible missing time, mysterious visions or communications, and soon the entire week of Barbara’s visit was filled with appointments. Several times Ted considered scheduling a block of hours for himself, but reluctantly he concluded that he just was not ready yet. He was still trying to heal, to cope with the night- marish memories, and to regain the reality they had taken from him. But his pledge to continue the investigation was resolute, and he knew the time would come when he would be strong enough to face the next revelation. In the meantime, there were others who needed help. Barbara arrived the following week, and Ted welcomed her warmly. “I’m so glad to see you,” he said as they hugged. “All sorts of thoughts have been coming back to me about the things we uncovered, and I can’t wait to discuss them with you.” He carried her luggage inside, and soon they were deep in animated conversation. Barbara was not scheduled to meet with anyone until the next day, so the first night the two friends talked, giving her a chance to gauge Ted’s progress since the last regression. “Has any other specific information come to you?” she asked. “After hypnosis, sometimes more memories start to surface on their own.” “Maybe not new memories,” Ted replied, “but I’ve been able to look at all the things I did see and analyze them more clearly now. It was so overwhelming, trying to take in every- thing in the state I was in, that I couldn’t understand all that went on at the time. Like that woman I remembered doing things to me when I was cloned, the one with red hair and lots of make-up?” “What about her?” Barbara asked. “She wasn’t a woman,” Ted said, “she was an alien, but they had her disguised to look more human. Maybe they thought it would calm me down, and I guess it did. But now that I realize how they were able to trick me, I wonder about a lot of the things other abductees report seeing. How much of it is fake? People recall seeing those beautiful blond human Masquerade of Angels 242 types on the UFOs, and hybridized, half-human half-alien babies and people, but I wonder if those aren’t just more cases of disguised ETs and false illusions.” “People sometimes are able to see through the disguises,” Barbara told him, “but most of the time they don’t even question what they think they see.” “Right,” Ted nodded, ‘“‘and that’s why I’ve gone back over everything so thoroughly. Some of it’s starting to make sense now. Remember my description of the process that woman performed, putting my soul into the cloned body?” “Of course,” Barbara replied. “T think that showed me something very important,” he continued. “When the cloned body was placed on the table, it was completely inert. The woman placed the black box with my soul on the new body, and then they did something that activated the body, because I saw it twitch and jerk, and then the chest started expanding as it breathed. That’s when I found myself in the new body. “Remember that they didn’t remove my soul from my original body until I drank the green liquid and apparently died,” Ted went on. “Looking at both procedures, I think I understand now that the soul is apparently locked into the body by an energy field, the aura, that forms once the body is breathing. They can’t take the soul out without killing the body, and it isn’t locked into a body until breath is drawn. “You know,” he paused, “I wonder what that might mean to the abortion question. If I’m right and the soul only con- nects with the body after it’s breathing, then fetuses may not contain souls until after they’re born. And what about the walk-ins that Ruth Montgomery has written about? They’re supposedly cases where souls are changed out of a body, so that a second soul can inhabit it for a while. Is this the same process the walk-ins use to get into those bodies? I wonder if they’re aware that the body has to die in order for the trade-out to take place.” The conversation continued for hours, but at last they needed to sleep and rest up for the next day’s work. While Ted was at work, Barbara met with Joel, a single man in his mid-thirties who had been plagued by restless Masquerade of Angels 243 The Light - Twenty-Four The Light - Twenty-Four
