of us had played an important part in helping these poor aliens get some necessary assistance.” “But when I directed you to program your mind for only the truth,” Barbara interjected, “and we started approaching the event from different angles, you were slowly able to look past the implanted suggestion of the screen. Each approach let you peel back another layer, and this is sometimes a long, tedious process. People who think you can just lie down, go into a trance within a few minutes, and then quickly relive an experience have no idea how much hard work and time is actually needed. “T have some cases,” she told him, ““who’ve come to me after working with other hypnotists because they feel that something was wrong with what they’d recalled in the trance. Several have said to me, “Barbara, if my abduction was no more than a quick physical exam, why haven’t I been able to sleep without sedatives for years? Why do I have panic attacks when I see certain pictures in UFO literature?’ They’ve said to me, without any prompting, that they feel more things had happened than they were able to recall. “And of course, when we work together, if they’re able to break through the illusions left in their minds and see the real abduction, the memories may be traumatizing at first. But after some healing time has passed, many of them start to show a remarkable improvement with their emotional scars. “This makes it all worthwhile,” she sighed, “when I see someone get a good night’s sleep after years of anxiety. I’m not a therapist, of course, but I’m a researcher who has spent years gathering this information. When I do a regression, I assist the person to go back and look at their experiences, but the practical fact is that this process is therapeutic by nature. Recalling the suppressed memories lets the emotions free, as well. Too many abductees aren’t getting the time spent with them that is necessary to release all the abduction garbage and start the healing process.” “T guess there aren’t many places for them to go for help,” Ted said. “There are a few qualified and trained out there,” Barbara replied, “but not many, and certainly not enough. People are Masquerade of Angels 250 afraid to go for help to most mental health professionals because they fear being looked upon as crazy.” “And they could be judged that way,” Ted nodded, “if therapists misdiagnose them because they don’t recognize the reality of the abductions. But these people aren’t crazy, any more than I am, they’re victims.” The next morning Barbara prepared to leave, and after Ted loaded her things into the car they sat down for a moment on the patio, reluctant to say goodbye. “Before I go home,” Barbara said, “I'd like for you to tell me just what all of this means to you personally, Ted. What do you feel is going on? What have you been able to understand?” “T don’t know if this will make sense,” he replied, “or even if it’s anywhere close to the truth, but I'll tell you how it feels to me, or at least what the situation implies. Back when I was being given messages and information during the night, I remember one particular lesson the aliens taught me. They explained that the space between physical matter isn’t empty, but rather it is filled with positive and negative charges. “Now, if you can imagine these two vast fields of charges somehow producing separate dimensions of existence,” Ted continued, “and then imagine that these dimensions give rise to intelligent entities, each of them carrying the positive or negative charges according to which dimension produced them. It seems to me that we humans are a source of some sort for both of these kinds of creatures, and I can imagine them working together to shape us into the perfect creation, made of both positive and negative aspects, so that both of them can use us. “They may not be good or evil in their own terms,” he conceded, “even though their actions feel that way to us. But they certainly seem to be bound together in their involvement with humans. I remember the incident where the two aliens were arguing over me. Their discussion about the two groups involved with me seems to be related to this idea.” “One of them was rather rough and threatening with you, wasn’t he?” Barbara asked. “Yes,” Ted said, “and the other one came in and protected Masquerade of Angels 251 The Light - Twenty-Four The Light - Twenty-Four
