Having worked with many Experiencers, looking into ET abduction/contact as an
investigator, exploring the function of the human mind as a therapist, and living
through it as an Experiencer, I’ve come to some conclusions about the
phenomenon that science refers to as Sleep
Paralysis.
If you are an Experiencer, you are probably all too familiar with waking up
suddenly from sleep and seeing or feeling strange things going on in the room,
beings standing at your bedside, moving around the room, touching you and
possibly even verbalizing, and you being unable to physically react. It’s one of the most real, frightening, and
common, parts of the contact/abduction experience.
Science declares that what abductees/contactees believe to be a paranormal event
is really sleep paralysis - a normal, physiological function that everyone
with a human brain has experienced at least once, and in some cases more than
once, even chronically.
So who's right, Science or Experiencers? I think the answer is BOTH!
Sleep Paralysis (SP) is a natural phenomenon in which a person wakens from sleep and temporarily
experiences an inability to move, speak or react, and which is sometimes
accompanied by strange and terrifying hallucinations, including sensory effects. (Sound familiar?)
Without going into a lot of boring detail, the scientific explanation is that SP is a
transitional state between wakefulness and sleep that corresponds to the Theta
level of brainwave activity (4-7 hz). Since
you pass through Theta when you fall asleep and again when you wake, it can
occur at either point. When that
happens, somehow your awareness of sleeping and being awake can overlap – a
state in which your mind thinks you are awake and your body thinks you’re
asleep. You are aware, but you can’t
move. Physiologically, that makes sense.
So, based on that description, scientists are right - abductees probably are experiencing SP. But just because an individual is in SP, doesn’t mean that it's not part of a contact/abduction scenario.
While some Experiencers report being abducted or contacted during broad
daylight, most such events occur at night. Why? Maybe because the visitors don't want to be seen, but since their ships are nearly always
reported as glowing or lit up, I don’t think that’s the answer. Doesn't it make sense that if they wanted to sneak around, they would turn off the lights? (But that's a topic for another discussion)
I believe the logical answer is that they approach at
night when they know the individual will be sleeping and unable to resist. Their presence in the room may cause the person to begin to wake up, but not all the way - enough to be aware that something is going on, but not enough to resist. Again, the body and mind overlap. Are they actually using our natural brain function - SP - to their advantage? I think the answer is yes.
Many Experiencers report that ETs manipulate their thoughts and emotions, using their
technology or abilities to keep us at a brain level where we can see and hear,
but not resist.
Some Experiencers have succeeded in resisting their night-time visitors by making noises or even striking out at them. In such instances, what most likely happened is that the individual woke up partially - probably to Theta, where they were able to see their visitors - but didn't get stuck there (as in SP). Instead, their body woke up quickly and responded with movement and when that happened, the beings seemingly vanished. Whether they actually vanished or the Experiencer just could no longer see them, is a topic of discussion among contact researchers.
Until science can prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that ET abductions and
contact don’t occur, then they must concede the possibility that they do, and that the visitors may be utilizing a natural human brain function - Sleep Paralysis.
