FOREWORD
Dr. William Baldwin’s book, CE- VI: Close Encounters Of The
Possession Kind, systematically shows the reader the various kinds
of spirit attachments, including dark force entities and earthbound
lost souls. However, he goes beyond what has been described before
by clearly examining case histories that involved attachments, or
take-overs, by aliens or extraterrestrials. Not only that, he
demonstrates how some attachments by ETs have been manipulated by
dark forces intervention. Besides showing the reader what has
happened, he demonstrates the effectiveness of his releasement
therapies in eliminating any of, and all of, these types of
attachments.
His stunning case histories, showing him at work in
resolving those debilitating conditions, gives the reader not only
information, but hope. The knowledge that one does not have to be
burdened by these, at times life-threatening, intrusions. His book
is also a manual for any mental health worker open-minded enough to
put the client’s welfare above previously accepted belief systems or
what is currently accepted as conventional therapy. He shows that
these conditions do, indeed, happen, and, best of all, they can be
resolved in a loving, human, and effective way.
Dr. Baldwin’s work is another of his contributions to the
understanding and relief of human suffering. Bravo! Dr. Baldwin.

PREFACE
Sightings of unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, and involuntary
abductions by aliens have been widely reported over the last five
decades in countries around the world. Investigators have uncovered
reports of similar visitations that occurred tens, hundreds, even
thousands of years ago.1 This is not a new happening.
Through my clinical experience with thousands of clients, I have
come to accept not only the existence of discarnate entities and
energies, and their effects on living people, but also the
possibility that ETs (extraterrestrials) exist, at least in some
form. Not in the way I read about in volumes of science fiction or
books on UFOs and alien abductions, but in a form I can communicate
with, even though I can’t see them. They have impact on our reality
and they can affect individual human beings, usually with
unfavorable results.
Through the voices of the clients in altered states of
consciousness, these alien beings reveal their purposes for being
here, they describe their home-world civilizations, and many express
the desire to go “home.” In some cases, the ET commandant on a
nearby spacecraft, and even the leader of the ruling High Council
on the home-world, will speak through the voice of the client.
The ETs offer many reasons for their presence here. Many are here to
gather data and information on human life forms. They are
technicians and scientists. There seems to be some kind of long-term
genetic experimentation and manipulation in progress. Some ETs may
be able to help troubled humans. A few apparently have the ability
to heal physical ailments. Some people claim to have been
spiritually transformed as the result of an abduction and
interaction with aliens.
In other cases the ETs announce they are here to take control, to
simply take over the human race, beginning with our client. They
often threaten that we will be next. Such threats clearly indicate
DFE (dark force entity) influence.
This channeled information could be totally fabricated by the
client, consciously or unconsciously. It may be a product of the
collective unconscious mind, triggered by a subliminal mass hysteria
over an urban myth of alien domination. A more sinister possibility
reflects the fears of the conspiracy theorists; the alien abductions
may involve elements of our own government who have formed some kind
of alliance with ETs, beings from other worlds or other dimensions.
Equally repugnant is the possibility that the entire UFO/ET enigma
might be nothing less, nor more, than field testing of mind control
technology by earth’s own intelligence agencies or military
personnel.
However, it may be exactly what it appears to be: actual
communication with an alien race. Whatever the case, the information
voiced through the clients forms a consistent body of knowledge
about the alien beings and their motivations for coming to our
planet.
Therapists deal with problems and situations which cause discomfort
to
people. Most therapists deal with mundane, temporal conditions:
emotional upset,
personality imbalance, character deficiency, relationship conflicts
and similar
issues. Psychiatrists often treat signs and symptoms of mental
illness with medication designed to control the symptoms. Few practitioners get
involved in spiritual
matters, though there is a reluctant but growing acceptance and
recognition of
religious or spiritual problems in the mental health field.2
UFOs and ETs are considered by most health professionals as
imagination and hallucination, the product of an unbalanced or
deranged mind, or outright hoax, and reports of such are not taken
seriously. Possession and exorcism are still relegated to the domain
of fantasy and hallucination, and not considered worthy of serious
consideration. Even most clergy deny and avoid this area. Several
states have statutes expressly forbidding a licensed mental health
practitioner from being involved in any sort of exorcism procedure.
And yet, perhaps millions of people suffer with the effects of
non-physical or other-dimensional intelligent beings which interfere
or connect with them in some way. Human and non-human entities are
discovered in altered state sessions, causing many of the problems
and conflicts which motivate people to seek professional help. Many
of these entities and energies attempt to take over mental and
physical control of the host human. Some simply want a place to
“live,” a body to call their own. Other types seek to disrupt or
destroy the host.
All of these errant beings want something for themselves, regardless
of the desires, needs, plans, or spiritual path of the unfortunate
host. This is a terrible violation of individual free will. Spirit
guides, guardian angels, ascended masters, truly benevolent and
highly evolved ETs, true spirit teachers and other light beings
neither possess nor control humans and they do not impose their own
agendas.
This book describes the conflicts which seem to be produced by the
intrusive, selfish, opportunistic, sometimes confused, often
malevolent entities and energies that interfere with living people.
Humans are sovereign beings, and have the right to live without such
interference from aliens, entities, other human beings, or
government agencies of any kind.
Most of the case histories and dialogues in this book have been
taken from actual sessions with people in our counseling practice
and training courses. The general information is pieced together
from the clinical sessions of many clients. There is a consistency
in the personal narratives, a pattern which can neither be denied
nor ignored. The material is organized here in a coherent picture;
the details have not been embellished in any way. My own
conclusions, assumptions, and speculations are identified as such.
The material in this book is not offered as absolute truth. There is
no way to
prove the validity of the narratives which come through the client’s
voices in
altered state sessions. Nor can these experiences be interpreted in
any meaningful
way. The subjective experience of several thousands of people is
presented here as
part of the spectrum of the human condition. Real people have had
these experiences; the memories are concealed in the deep unconscious mind. In
an altered
state of consciousness, also understood as hypnotic trance, they
relate to us what
has happened to them. This is what is being reported.
Please read
with an open mind. This is middle America speaking. This could be
any of us. It IS some of us.
Many colleagues in different parts of the country have reported
similar ac-counts of the alien beings, ET intruders with similar
“missions.” Several have contributed cases for this book. Names and
identifying details have been changed to ensure the anonymity of the
people involved. Minor editing has been done in some descriptions
and case transcripts for the sake of clarity only.
The purpose of this book is to increase public awareness, not to
arouse fear. In clinical practice, we find that more than half our
clients are apparently carrying the burden of attached ETs and
suffering their influence. If this phenomenon is real, it must be
investigated and researched thoroughly, documented and made public
knowledge. And just consider the possibilities if it turns out to be
true!
We cannot ignore the mystery of the non-physical reality, the
unconscious
levels of mind, the imaginal realm, the spiritual levels of being.
The deeper levels
of consciousness have not been thoroughly explored. This is terra
incognita,
undiscovered territory, the unknown region. Swiss psychiatrist Carl
Jung, in his
autobiography, Memories, Dreams, Reflections, made this statement on
the unconscious mind. 3
The years when I was pursuing my inner images were the most
important in my life — in them everything essential was decided. It
all began then; the later details are only supplements and
clarifications of the material that burst forth from the
unconscious, and at first swamped me. It was the prima materia for a
lifetime’s work.
It is this uncharted territory which we explore and seek to
understand with our limited human intellect. In these pages you will
find some of the results of our research.

Acknowledgments
My clients and the other intelligences which speak through their
voices continue to be my most profound teachers. My gratitude is
exceeded only by my curiosity at the phenomena which we
collectively explore in private sessions. The wellspring of
knowledge seems to flow with no sign of running dry.
Bob and Cathy Teets, my editors and publishers, also deserve my deep
and sincere gratitude for their unending encouragement and support,
their gentle course correction on my literary voyage, and their
professional skills in this field. Bob’s cheerful voice on my phone
always stirs renewed enthusiasm for the project when I find myself
mired in ennui. “Onward and upward,” he cheers, and away we go!
And to my beloved Judith, my partner in life, in our love, and in
the work, I again pledge my eternal love. You always support my
earthly endeavors, you are a beacon on my spiritual path, and your
flamboyant personality and ebullient sense of humor light up my life
when I need it most. Thank you from my heart and my soul.

INTRODUCTION
The government sponsored program SETI, the Search for
Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence,4 may be focused in the wrong
direction. The radio signals are sent into space, and the giant
receiving dishes are waiting for return signals from some
intelligent beings “out there.”
SETI’s work is based on at least two
assumptions:
1. Aliens exist in three-dimensional space-time as humans do.
2. They haven’t yet arrived on earth.
This could be faulty thinking!
If we can draw any conclusions from human experience, then the
aliens are already here. Millions of humans may have had encounters
with aliens on some kind of “spaceship.”5 Many have described the
trauma of being abducted against their will, taken aboard the craft
or to some unknown location, and subjected to intrusive and often
painful physical procedures.6 During some of these experiences the
“abductees” claim to recognize humans in military uniforms.
“Space brothers” have delivered volumes of information to Earth by
channeling through sensitive persons. They have made several
magnanimous promises: to stop nuclear wars; to lift our population
off the planet until the predicted cataclysmic earth changes are
over; or to stop earth changes before they happen. (How could we
know if they were successful?) They have exhorted humans to stop
making war on each other and to love each other. (Good advice,
whatever the source.) They have announced certain dates for their
arrival in mass landings across the face of the planet. So far, they
have not kept these appointments.
In my youth, my closest encounter with space beings was through the
pages of Astounding Science Fiction magazine. Such authors as
Heinlein, Asimov, and Ray Bradbury were my literary adventure
heroes. I was still in high school when I read Donald Keyhoe’s book,
The Flying Saucers Are Real, published in 1950. With that book my
thinking turned a corner, my mind opened to the possibility of alien
life forms existing somewhere else. Never again was the vastness of
space filled with the imaginary creatures of science fiction.
According to Keyhoe, they were real and they were visiting Earth.
Years of college, dental school, and a doctoral program in
psychology gave me a firm scientific grounding. I think like a
scientist. I am dedicated to rigorous scientific standards of
inquiry and objective evidence when considering and examining
natural phenomena. The scientific method of inquiry works, at least
for the narrow range of physically detectable phenomena. Yet the
scientific method tends to be an impregnable, inescapable box which
excludes all but “hard” physical evidence.
Personal exploration of natural phenomena is also valid inquiry.
However,
subjective accounts are normally not accepted as part of the
scientific method of
research. Along with my years of education, training, observation,
and investigation, I also experienced guided imagery (images suggested by the
facilitator), rebirthing (deep, rapid breathing exercise which
sometimes stimulates memories of the birth experience), past life
regression therapy (uncovering memories of what seem to be prior
lifetimes), spirit releasement (removal of interfering conscious
energies), and inner child healing (treatment of wounded
subpersonalities). I know from these personal experiences what the
client is feeling during a session.
As a therapist I am sensitive to human feelings, memories, and
experience, no matter how far from consensus reality the stories
range, how they differ from accepted norms of the
possible/impossible. I have seen and listened to human pain, and it
is very real. I have learned that the exploration of human
consciousness may uncover anything. Yet much of what is uncovered is
rejected by objective science; it seems that a large part of human
experience lies outside the parameters of the scientific method.
Francis Bacon considered knowledge in itself to be a virtue, to be
used to achieve power over nature, leading to longer, healthier,
happier human life. Galileo emphasized the value of observation over
abstract speculation. He left a legacy of ideas on astronomy that
forever changed humankind’s notions about the physical universe.
Isaac Newton was born in 1642, the year Galileo died. In 1687,
Newton published his Principia Mathematica, perhaps the greatest
scientific work ever written. It dominated scientific thought for
more than 200 years. The Newtonian-Cartesian paradigm is still the
reigning model of scientific thinking, devoid of philosophic
speculations.
Science finally parted company with the spiritual reality between
the middle of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th
century, especially in Western civilization. Metaphysical and
spiritual phenomena, being improvable, were relegated to the
province of religion. This was a great loss to the human race.
Yet people continue to have mystical and spiritual experiences. Can
this all be
imagination or mass delusion? Deja vu, past life memories, out of
body experience,
near-death experience, possession by other beings or entities,
channeling, psychic
abilities, precognitive knowledge, UFO contact and abduction, and
many other
non-scientific events continue to be reported by intelligent,
credible people.7
A few scientists have been courageous enough to study and document
such
phenomena, then publish their findings in these controversial areas.
Some have been ridiculed by the mainstream scientific establishment,
those people who won’t acknowledge the existence of anything other
than the physical universe. Yet aware-ness of the non-physical
universe continues to expand, both in the general population and
among some scientific types. Human experience cannot be denied nor
explained away. Intelligent curiosity demands serious investigation
of the non-physical, or spiritual realm. The time is now.
The scientific method will never be sufficient to properly and
thoroughly
explore the richness and depth of human consciousness. The research
must include
a sense of the spiritual. Subjective human experience cannot be
weighed, measured,
and exactly duplicated on demand. Yet human experiences are
appropriate
data for a complete science. William James, considered by many to be
the father of American psychology, urged that science should be
based only on experience, and that nothing within the totality of
human experience should be excluded from being a potential topic of
scientific investigation.
In his Essays in Radical Empiricism,
James defined this term:
To be radical, an empiricism must neither admit into its
construction any
element that is not directly experienced, nor exclude from them any
element that is
directly experienced.8
In 1981, a year and a half before I left my profession of dentistry,
and after more than ten years of study in metaphysics,
parapsychology, and the farther reaches of human consciousness
including the near-death, after-death, and out-of-body experiences,
past lives, spirit possession and de-possession, channeling, and
other spiritual teachings, I began conducting a part-time private
practice in past life regression therapy (PLT).9 There were only a
few books on the techniques of PLT at the time, written by
practicing professionals.
Around the world, thousands of therapists of various orientations
are now using the techniques of this controversial approach to
helping people. The client is guided into an altered state of
consciousness, sometimes called hypnotic trance. The emotions
surrounding a present-life situation can trigger memories of what
seem to be events in other lifetimes. In theory, other lifetimes
hold the source of most present life problems and conflicts.
Memories of traumatic events from former lifetimes can be recalled,
processed in the therapy session, and the present life problems ease
or disappear.
When I first hear something unusual in a regression session, for
instance a past life in Atlantis or on a distant planet, the details
of an alien abduction or an implant device, or a particular type of
attached entity and its effects on the client, I simply note it,
without judgment. Many clients have described archetypal scenes such
as conflict between the warrior gods of light and the beings of
darkness who would take over earth. When similar descriptions emerge
in two or three sessions, I am interested. If many clients report
the same experiences, then I accept the experience as part of the
human condition within the spiritual reality.
To my surprise, after only a few months of doing past life
regression sessions,
I recognized signs and symptoms of what seemed to be discarnate
interference in a
growing number of my clients. Like many people, I had assumed this
condition to
be imaginary, contrived, the result of paranoia and delusional
thinking. As a scientific investigator, I observed, recognized, studied this phenomenon,
and formed an
hypothesis which was not unlike historical descriptions of the
condition of spirit
possession.10
From the information gathered during clinical sessions, a map of the
spiritual
territory slowly unfolded which was similar to age-old descriptions
of the spiritual
realms.11 From this working model, I began to develop a rational
methodology of
treatment for the condition. Turns out the problem is neither
imaginary nor delusional. Most people affected aren’t aware of the interference until
they discover it
in a therapy session; the majority of my private clients uncover
these unwelcome
intrusions. Many of the people who believe and claim they are
possessed usually aren’t.
All through history, this unwanted, involuntary condition has been
labeled
spirit possession or demon possession. In primitive cultures,
spirits were thought
to be everywhere, and everything was infused with unseen
intelligence. This belief
is termed animism. The typical religious literature depicts
non-physical entities as
demons, the minions of Lucifer, and all spirit possession is
considered to be demon
possession. The adherents to the philosophy of Spiritualism, which
began in the
middle of the 19th century, believed such entities to be the souls
of departed loved
ones, returned from the “Sunnyland” of the after-death realm.12
Rarely is a living human being taken over and controlled completely
by a non-physical entity, though this condition has been reported. A
person in this condition would not likely seek a therapy session for
the problem.
As I observed my clients in clinical session carefully and
rationally, it seemed clear that there was definite influence from
these apparently separate entities. There are methods of
differentiating between parts of self, or subpersonalities, and
separate beings of various kinds. I recognized the connection
between human and entity as a parasitic condition, and I began using
the term “spirit attachment” instead of spirit possession.
My clients were my teachers along the way, as were these apparently
attached entities of various kinds. In my curiosity I asked what
must have seemed like endless questions of the entities. They
answered through the client’s voice. I learned a great deal about
the mechanism of spirit attachment, the reasons for attraction and
attachment, identification of the many different types of attached
entities, and the mental, emotional, and physical effects on the
host. It appeared that, aside from superstition, some of the ancient
and classical literature on the subject was at least partially valid
in a clinical setting, and not merely philosophical and theological
beliefs imposed on human thinking.
Drawing upon this growing body of empirical knowledge, I developed
rational techniques for appropriately releasing these intruders in a
way that eliminated any possibility of their return. In ongoing
therapy, a person can learn to strengthen the “spiritual immune
system”13 and begin to learn how to ward off future interference by
such opportunistic entities.
I briefly tried various exorcism and deliverance techniques drawn
from many volumes on the subject. The results were mixed. My own
techniques developed empirically, by trial and error, with much
correction; what worked, remained, what didn’t was discarded. As a
parallel to the descriptive term spirit attachment, I coined the
designation Spirit Releasement Therapy (SRT) to describe the treatment
methods I was evolving. I spent most of my waking hours during 1990
writing the book,
Spirit Releasement Therapy: A Technique Manual,
which outlines techniques of past life therapy, recovery of soul
fragmentation, and the methodology for clearing attached entities.
In the clinical setting, the goal is to help a client find answers
within himself or
herself that address and relieve personal conflicts or troubling
conditions they may be suffering. Over the years of exploring this
phenomena of discarnate interference in clinical practice, the clients have
helped me understand that regardless of the scientific rigidity of
associated research, the bottom line to them is that the therapy
works. In short, whether any, all, or none of what your are about to
read is true in the strict scientific sense, it can be replicated in
a clinical setting. Replication is one of the basic elements of the
scientific method.
There is a mass of accumulated fear and superstition surrounding the
phenomenon of unseen spirits interfering with living humans,
largely promulgated through the centuries by
the Church. In
lectures, seminars, workshops, trainings, books and articles, it has
been my goal to ease the fear, erase the superstition, to describe
rationally a real phenomenon, and increase the public awareness of
this very common condition.
As my experience expanded in the clinical work and I developed the
methodologies of SRT, my knowledge of the spiritual reality also
expanded. The techniques are effective in practice and I began to
train others in the work. To date, more than 500 people have
completed the Basic SRT Training, and thousands of others have read
my Technique Manual or studied with someone else. Many of these
people conduct spirit releasement sessions with similar results.
In 1989, I met and married Judith. She is a talented painter,
brilliantly creative, and a deeply spiritual human being. She is an
excellent instructor and a gifted spiritual counselor. We present
professional trainings together and work as co-therapists in
clinical sessions. Her presence is a great gift to me personally and
professionally.
Over the years of clinical experience I discovered what appeared to
be three main types of intrusive, attaching entities: the so-called
earthbound spirits (EB) of deceased humans which are bound or stuck
in the earth plane and unable or unwilling to move on to the higher
realms; the dark force entities (DFE), which includes the classic
demon; and aliens or extraterrestrials (ET). This book focuses
primarily on the ET and DFE, though there are many other interfering
energies.
These various intruders seemed to cause all manner of mental,
emotional,
physical, and relationship problems for people.
-
The earthbound human
spirits, the EBs, impose human conditions and ailments on the unsuspecting host
such as
habits, behaviors, addictions, inappropriate emotions, sexual
distortions, and the
physical symptoms of illness.
-
The DFEs attempt to block every aspect
of human
progress, to undermine love in any form or situation, such as self
esteem, personal
relationships, and family groups, and to generally cause chaos and
disruption at
every opportunity. They often claim they are just “doing their job.”
-
The ETs state
that they are from “far away,” and the Light in their “universe” is
a color other than
golden-white.14 They do not impose human problems, and they are
often here on a
specific “scientific mission”—except for those who are influenced by
the DFEs.
Whatever the truth might be regarding alien civilizations, humans
have always
had a curiosity about what’s “out there.” Many have voiced the
thought that we humans might have come from “out there.” The notion
of “sky people” has peppered human thinking, as evident in some early cave drawings and
petroglyphs, sacred scriptures, fictional accounts of space travel,
and sci-fi movies.15 Science fiction still holds fascination for
many millions of people. Star Trek: The Next Generation was the most
successful weekly show in the history of syndicated television.16
Possession was a common theme in the various Star Trek series.
Survival of consciousness beyond physical death and spirit
possession have been the subject of numerous popular movies such as
Ghost, All Of Me, Maxie, and of course, The Exorcist.
Possession or control by another being goes against our most basic
human and spiritual rights. It is a possibility both terrifying and
preposterous. We rail against excessive political or police power.
We have laws against intruders who violate our physical person or
property. Medical science has developed remedies for many of the
microorganisms which invade our bodies and cause disease. We must
expand our awareness of the non-physical intruders of all kinds.
There are effective methods of dealing with the unseen forces which
impose upon us. In this book, you will read about real cases of
these close encounters with conscious alien beings: the causes, the
effects, and the treatment.
There is a reference to such in the Bible (Ephesians 6:12):
... we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness
of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Chapter 1
POSSESSION AND THE EXTRATERRESTRIALS
AMONG US
SPIRIT POSSESSION
The possibility of spirit possession, that is, full or partial
takeover of a living human by a discarnate or non-physical being,
has been recognized, or at least theorized, in every time and in
nearly every culture. It seems that a disembodied consciousness, a
spirit, a soul, an entity, can join or attach itself and merge fully
or partially with the subconscious mind of a living person, exerting
some degree of control on the mental functions, emotions, and
behavior. An attached entity can produce sensations and symptoms in
the physical body of the unsuspecting host.
People around the world have described these possessing entities as
gods,
demons, deities, ancestors, spirit guides, healing spirits of some
sort, great
teachers, and, more recently, as travelers and teachers from other
star systems
such as the Pleiades, Arcturus, Orion, Andromeda, Lyra, Vega, or
Sirius. Spirit
possession is an ancient yet enduring concept, largely denied and
ignored by the
clergy and mental health professionals in our materialistic Western
society. In
recent years, however, a growing number of open-minded therapists
have begun
to notice the condition and accept the possibility of non-physical
consciousness
and its effects on living people.17
In clinical psychotherapy sessions, clients describe conflicts,
problems, and areas of discomfort in their lives. As they describe
painful and unpleasant situations, emotions usually emerge such as
anger and frustration, guilt and remorse, even sadness and tears.
They usually begin to feel these emotions as sensations in the
physical body: nausea, a flush of heat or cold, tightness or tension
in muscles, or headache. The descriptions of the problem are often
metaphorical phrases, such as: “This makes me sick,” or “He’s such a
pain in the neck,” or “It feels like I’m being stabbed in the back,”
or “It feels like I have a tight band around my head.”
The client is guided to locate the source of these feelings, both
emotional
feelings and body sensations, and to recall the first time they felt
this way. They
are urged to repeat the phrases. They are directed to focus inward
and describe
what they see, feel, hear.18 These suggestions usually lead the
person into the
heart of the problem, the source of the present life conflict,
usually a traumatic
event, often in a past life setting. If it is a past life of the
client, then past life
therapy will help ease the problem. However, it may be an attached
entity which
is causing the problem. There are methods of differentiating between
a client’s
earlier traumatic recall and the memories of an attached entity.
There are specific
techniques for releasing the different types of attached entities.19
Earthbound spirits, or EBs, the surviving consciousness of deceased
humans,
are the most commonly discovered possessing, obsessing, or attaching
entities. The emotions and feelings connected with a sudden,
traumatic death can hold a spirit to the earth level, usually in the
environment in which the person lived and died. Anger, fear,
jealousy, resentment, guilt, remorse, even strong ties of love can
interfere with the normal transition into the Light. The grief of
the survivors can hold their loved ones earthbound after the death
of the physical body. The newly deceased spirits can follow and
sometimes cling to living humans.
In session the client often discovers a different type of
non-physical influence:
a dark, arrogant, hostile, malevolent, disruptive, destructive
entity which claims to be a follower of Lucifer, The Dark One, The
Evil One, The Great One, or some other similar name. It claims it
has never been alive in its own human body.
This description conforms to the classic
portrayal of demons in the literature of Christianity and other religions. These we have termed
dark force
entities, or DFEs.
Another form of non-physical entity we often discover with our
clients is the alien, the extraterrestrial, or ET, a conscious,
sentient being. Typically, they have never been human, though a few
claim former incarnations in a human body on earth. This is not the
spirit of a deceased alien; their normal form seems to be
non-physical.20 They are neither hostile nor belligerent, disruptive
nor destructive as the DFEs are. A few assert they are lost or
marooned here. Many claim that they come to gather information.
Others conduct experiments on humans by influencing emotions in some
way and monitoring the results. Some claim to be here to assist
human earth citizens in their spiritual evolution, perhaps even to
help our people through the long-predicted catastrophic earth
changes.
Some of them are further advanced technologically than humans, some
more enlightened in their spiritual evolution. However, most of
these aliens who dialogue through the voices of clients are not
spiritually aware in the least. As time/space/dimension travelers,
they are operating in their own self interest, without regard for
the inhabitants of whatever planet they are exploring and
exploiting, and this can wreak havoc with the citizens of earth.
A very few of these intruders claim that they infiltrate living
humans in order to gather scientific data or other information and
they have no intention of interfering. They apologize and withdraw
when we explain the situation. Other ET “scientists” refuse to
leave, refuse to talk with us, and consider humans to be nothing
more than lab rats to be used in their experiments. This indicates
DFE control of the ET, and reveals the more sinister purpose for
their presence.
Still others arrogantly proclaim they are here to conquer humanity
and take over the planet for their own use and there is nothing
anyone can do about it. This element of power and control over
others signals the influence of the DFEs. In these cases, the ETs
themselves are controlled, even possessed, by the demonic beings.
There is no real time table for such takeover, and some of these
aliens assert they have been with their human host for numerous
lifetimes.
Some of the UFOs and alien beings can be perceived in the physical
form, yet can shift vibration and become non-physical, apparently at
will, hence invisible to human eyes as well as radar. They can
affect humans in a dreadful variety of ways.
Carla and Her ET Brother
Carla was sobbing. She could barely speak through her tears. She was
deeply moved as she witnessed the release of an earthbound spirit
from an older man in the group who had volunteered to be the subject
of the demonstration. In this case, the entity was the spirit of a
deceased child who had been with the man since his early married
years. It had wanted to be born to this couple. There were very few
dry eyes in the place as the little spirit said farewell to its
would-have-been parents and moved into the Light.
Carla was crying so hard she could not see to walk out of the
building and drive home. This is not an unusual reaction after
observing an emotionally intense spirit releasement session. I
offered to help her explore the source of the tears and grief she
was feeling. I suspected an attached entity. Her tears finally
subsided and an entity was able to speak through Carla’s voice. It
claimed to be her brother in another existence on another planet in
a different solar system. He followed her to this system when she
chose to come to the planet Earth to incarnate. He did not want to
endure the whole process of becoming a human in his own body as she
had done. He had bypassed that step. Now he wanted her to withdraw
so he could live through her body, or at least move aside so he
could take over.
With very little explanation he realized the harm he was doing to
his sister, whom he loved yet wanted to dominate in this
chauvinistic manner. As he re-counted their life on their home
planet in a distant space and time, Carla also recalled the love
they had shared there and began to weep again, this time for the joy
of that memory and the sadness over the loss.
This was, in effect, a
dual past life regression, both beings remembering the same prior
existence on another planet.
He agreed to go and she agreed to release him, though the attraction
of love was strong between them. More than a year later, she was
thrilled to report major changes in her life as the result of the
release of her ET brother.
Janet and the Alien Probe
Janet was an intuitive healer, adept in her work and in her life. In
session she discovered a probe in her third chakra, the solar
plexus. She described a thin black cord which, in her perception,
led upward through two dimensions. It was connected to a laboratory
on a spacecraft. As Janet visualized the location, I called out to
the one in charge of the lab. Janet described a sort of humanoid
form which actually responded to my questions. She was able to
repeat its words. This remote communication link, this type of
channeling, has produced some fascinating results over the years.
Yes, this alien scientist acknowledged, there was a probe inserted
at the level of her solar plexus. It was for the purpose of
gathering information on the members of the human species.
Dr. Baldwin: “How many such members of the human race have you
treated this way?” Janet: “About 3,000.” Dr. B.: “This is a violation of an intelligent species. You have no
right to interfere in this way.” J.: “We did not know we were interfering.”
Drawing from the realms of science fiction, I tried to imagine the
organization of such a group of beings. I took a chance and plunged
ahead.
Dr. B.: “Cross connect us with your headquarters. We want to speak
with your High Command.”
A few moments passed and Janet straightened in the recliner. Her
voice took on a different tone; the manner was almost imperious.
High Command through Janet: “Yes, what is it you want?”
Dr. B.: “Your scientists have placed probes in 3,000 human beings
without consent.” H.C.: “Yes. They are gathering data.” Dr. B.: “You are gathering data from unwilling subjects. Aren’t you
aware of the concept of non-interference? There is to be no
interference with another sentient species.” H.C.: “Yes, we are aware. We did not mean to interfere, only to
gather data.” Dr. B.: “We are a sentient species. We protest this intrusion.”
H.C.: “What would you like us to do?” Dr. B.: “We request that you withdraw your probes from every human
being on this planet.”
This was a request, not a demand. I had nothing to enforce such a
demand. There was some hesitation, as if there was a discussion
being carried on in the background.
My skeptical mind asks: “If any of this is true, why do they talk to
me and why would they be willing to do what I ask?”
These questions
are always with me in altered state sessions. My skepticism remains
alive and well.
H.C.: “We will withdraw the probes. We have gathered enough
information.” Dr. B.: “Thank you.” H.C.: “You are welcome. Good-bye.”
Dr. B.: “Good-bye.”
The commander was already gone. The alien scientist apologized and
gathered his equipment, including the probe, and completed whatever
tasks remained. Soon, he was also gone.
Janet came out of the altered state as bewildered as I. Were these
images valid? Was this nothing more than imagination? Are humans
perceived by more highly developed beings as nothing more than
biological units, subjects to be randomly probed, examined, and
tested, much like lab animals used by earth scientists? Am I
implanting these notions? I don’t think so; this was my first
encounter with such a situation, and I had no such notions.
Many hundreds of clients have since experienced and described such
intrusion with probes, implants, and devices for testing,
monitoring, and controlling. As a therapist, I must work with
whatever information emerges from the client as if it were real. At
some level of consciousness, it is real for the client.

What’s really going on here?
-
Did we come from the stars?
-
Are we
about to go back there again?
-
Can we really talk with aliens through
the channeling abilities of people in an altered state of
consciousness?
-
Why do they listen?
-
Why do they bother to do what we,
as therapists, request?
But I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s back
up and begin at the beginning: the experience of birth.

Chapter 2
REGRESSION THERAPY
Regression therapy has enjoyed renewed interest in the past few
decades. The
notion that the adult can be affected by childhood events, often
traumatic, is not
new. Sigmund Freud fostered the theory that repressed memories
stimulate and
influence adult behavior. Freud claimed that memories of events
earlier than age
five or six, and certainly infancy, could not be retrieved and
expressed adequately
because of the limited verbal ability of the child and the infant.21
However, guided by a well-trained therapist, a person in an altered
state of consciousness can uncover and recall repressed and
forgotten events from child-hood, infancy, birth, the time spent in utero, the experience prior to conception, even other lifetimes.
Much of the uncovered material can be verified as valid memories of
actual events.22 But not all. Some of these remembered events may be
part of an attached entity’s experience.
Memory can be less than accurate, and several past events can begin
to merge into one memory. Movie scenes, stories, suggestions by
friends or therapists, even dreams can become part of the stream of
memory. This is termed confabulation of memory. For this reason,
events recalled under hypnosis cannot be assumed to be completely
real and part of the client’s life. In therapy, we strive to ease
the emotional impact of recalled events, from this life or another
time. We work as if it were true. For the client, it is true at some
level. The emotional impact is all too real, and can continue to
affect a person, long after the actual event, whatever it might have
been.
Birth Regression
It seems that many people are fixated or stuck in the birth
trauma.23 Human behavior tends to reenact the birth experience. Many
people cannot stand to have anything tight around their neck,
whether it’s a necktie, turtleneck sweater, or whatever. Most people
are very shallow breathers. The urge to breathe and to resist
anything that interferes is a most powerful drive for the human; the
need for air is the primary hunger.
Think about your breathing. How are you breathing right now? With
shallow little breaths or a deep, belly-stretching intake of air?
Most people find themselves taking very shallow breaths, as if
afraid to breathe, or worse, prevented from breathing.
During a therapy session, this can often be traced to memories of
the actual
birth experience. The details of the birth and the entire nine
months of the pre-natal
period and before are available within the subconscious mind, and
this includes the
moment of conception. These memories can be uncovered and described
through
the words of the adult client.24 There is no barrier to the memory
of these events.25
As the infant passes through the birth canal, the umbilical cord is
squeezed,
shutting off the supply of nutrients, including oxygen. Once the
baby is born, the
mouth is cleared of fluids and the lungs can begin to expand and
fill with air. If the
umbilical cord is cut before this process is complete, there is a
period of time when
no oxygen is coming in. To the newborn this feels like
suffocation.26
The client is guided to trace this feeling back to its source. Often
a prior lifetime is discovered when death was caused by suffocation,
hanging, or strangulation. Past life therapy on the death
experience will ease the discomfort with tight things around the
neck. Exploring the birth experience in this way will often ease the
problem of shallow breathing. It is a basic principle of Freudian
psychodynamic theory that “reliving is relieving.” Bringing the
subconscious memories into the conscious level may ease or resolve
the problem or conflict, though many issues require further
processing for complete resolution. This is the essence of
regression therapy.
Jeff
Relationship patterns can be established during the birth
experience. Jeff described his love life as a series of very brief
affairs, usually with large-breasted blond women. In session, he
discovered that he had been taken from mother immediately after
birth, which interrupted the essential mother-infant bonding. He was
wrapped in a blanket and held and regularly cared for by a large,
buxom, loving, blond-haired nurse.
She smelled good, she felt good,
she gave him nurturance and nourishment. His mother was distant and
unable to care for him because she was recovering from the ordeal of
giving birth to her son. From that moment forward he was
unconsciously looking for the big, blond nurse.
Recovery of Lost Soul Fragments
Recovery of Soul Fragmentation (RSF) is a clinical approach to soul
retrieval,
a traditional shamanic method of healing. In indigenous cultures,
sickness was
thought to be caused by loss of one’s soul, or part of it. The
shaman journeyed into
the underworld, the upper world, or wherever the soul fragment had
gone, to
retrieve the soul and return it to the sick person, restoring
wholeness and health.27
This is more than a primitive notion. In clinical practice, we find
that the condition of dissociation or fragmentation of consciousness
is very common with people. Depending on the severity of the trauma
which leads to the dissociation, the results can range from mood
changes to the often debilitating condition of multiple personality
disorder (MPD), now called dissociative identity disorder (DID).28
DID is often the result of childhood sexual abuse.
This condition is reflected in our language, indicating an inner
awareness of the condition:
“It was a shattering experience.”
“That guy isn’t playing with a full deck.” “Hello, is anyone home in there?”
“I’m just falling apart.” “I feel half dead.” “I left my heart in San Francisco.”
The term Recovery of Soul Fragmentation is used to describe the
clinical method of gathering the scattered soul or mind fragments.
The healing of the condition is also familiar to the inner mind, the
inner knower.
It is expressed in such expressions as the following:
“Pull yourself together.” “He’s a real together guy.”
“I’m getting it together.”
Most everyone has mixed feelings at times, mood changes, awareness
of parts of the personality with different desires, roles, even
functions. We often act differently in different circumstances: the
overbearing supervisor in the office can be a submissive husband at
home; the capable, conscientious, patient and loving mother can be a
screaming, demanding, unreasonable customer at a department store
sale. These various selves29 have been labeled
subpersonalities.30
Many people shift between the many subpersonalities without notice,
simply adjusting and conforming to the surrounding circumstances.31
More obvious changes in personality can stem from some early painful
experience.
These splits of consciousness can result from a major or minor, real
or imagined, emotional or physical trauma. Most of these
personality fragments remain with the person, affecting behavior,
appetites, and attitudes. There are many therapeutic techniques for
treating this condition: ego state therapy, inner child healing,
subpersonality therapy, parts therapy.
In clinical practice, we have found that some of these splits or
fragments
actually separate from the person much like the out-of-body
experience (OOBE).32
Each fragment remains connected to the core consciousness in the
physical body
by a silver thread, a part of the silver cord connecting soul to
body.33 Many clients in
altered states can perceive this silver thread connection. In some
reported cases of
out-of-body experience, people can perceive a “cord of light”
connecting their
physical body with the location of their consciousness.34
A fragment can be separated from a person and just follow like a
balloon on a string. A mind fragment of a living person can be with
another living person as an attached entity. A fragment can remain
in a location of a trauma or an especially joyous event. The
fragment can sometimes be found in some distant location. If a
fragmentation occurred in a prior lifetime, the fragment might still
be back there/ then. Nearly all these fragments can be located and
recovered in a therapy session.
In the literature on multiple personality, the sufferers, more often
women than men, describe splitting away psychically, actually
leaving the body during sexual abuse. Combat veterans often sustain
severe fragmentation during life-threatening firelights. A serious
traffic accident, even a narrowly missed collision, can cause a
fragment to separate and move toward the Light, assuming it has
died. The shock, the emotional impact of the trauma on the psyche,
can lead to a fragmentation of the consciousness, the soul essence.
Emotional violation can cause fragmentation as quickly as physical
pain. A
child who trusts a parent or grandparent can be emotionally
shattered if that loved
one sexually violates the child. The ability to trust will leave
with the fragment. A child or young adolescent can be devastated if
a parent dies. There is a lack of understanding and often a feeling
of self-blame for the death. The ability to love may be crushed and
the fragment will harbor that crippled capacity. The person no
longer has the ability to love.
When we discover fragmentation, the client is guided to locate the
original trauma and recover the lost fragment. We assist in
processing the emotional pain to a peaceful resolution, and the soul
fragment, or subpersonality, is welcomed back into the body/mind
space, like a piece of a jigsaw puzzle fitting into place.
As the fragment is recovered and healed of its emotional pain, it
will bring back that ability to trust or ability to love, or some
other emotion or capacity which was lost along with the fragment,
such as creative imagination or playful-ness. In this way, the
returning fragment always has a “gift” for the client, often an
essential emotional ability or transpersonal quality such as
loyalty, honesty, even clairvoyance or other psychic ability. With
the fragment safely home, the client will report a feeling of
warmth, peace, and a pleasant new sense of wholeness.
Fragmentation presents a wide-open door for any passing entity. If
there are literally pieces missing from the soul essence of an
individual, an entity can easily enter and attach. In session, we
often discover that this is the vulnerability which first allowed
the attachment. Soul fragments are recovered and integrated after
releasement of attached entities. This is part of the protection
against future intrusion.
William James wrote and lectured on multiple personality and spirit
possession.
These were professionally acceptable subjects for investigation
early in this century.
In James’ day, there was “.. .much alarmist writing in psychopathy
about
degeneration,” and he suggested that ”...if there are devils, if
there are supernormal
powers, it is through the cracked and fragmented self that they
enter.”35
We discover some degree of fragmentation in nearly every client we
see in our private counseling practice. Who among us has not
suffered at least some minor trauma in life? Fragmentation as the
source of illness is an important concept in the native healing
traditions. It may prove to be an important thread in the rich
tapestry of holistic healing.
The Chocolate Chip Cookie Eater
One of my own subpersonalities was a “chocolate chip cookie eater.”
When I was about 9 years old, my aunt made me some chocolate chip
cookies. The warm, wonderfully fragrant cookies were heaped on a
plate sitting on the pull-out bread-board. They smelled great. I
reached for a cookie. She slapped my hand! That was a shock! I
didn’t understand. Again I reached for a cookie. She slapped my hand
again! AHA! I got it! No cookies! She had some cockamamie idea that
the cookies had to cool before they could be eaten.
But my mouth was watering and I wanted one of MY cookies NOW. No
way.
So I salivated and longed for a cookie while they cooled. That silly
little upset, a
minor emotional trauma, caused a personality split-off that affected
my cookie
eating habits for years to come. Eventually I worked on it in a
therapy session.
The source of the trauma seemed to be a past life in which I had
died of starvation at age 9. The episode with the cookies
restimulated that greater trauma. The way I attempted to deal with
the buried fear of death was to buy freshly baked chocolate chip
cookies, a dozen or two at a time, in this life. A very minor
trauma, but it exemplifies the condition and the effects of a
subpersonality. After that session, my consumption of chocolate chip
cookies assumed “normal” proportions.
Past Life Therapy
Many people reject the idea of looking into a past lifetime for
problems as they claim to have enough troubles in the present life.
This sounds reasonable. However, in clinical practice, clients
discover that present life conflicts and problems often stem from
traumatic events in prior lifetimes. Past life memories may come to
us in many guises: the deja vu experience; recurrent dreams, either
of a specific location, or of a frightening event; an unexplained,
groundless fear, or a crippling phobia.
People who fear water,
public speaking, or heights (to name just a few common phobias)
often uncover the memory of a death by drowning, hanging or burning
at the stake before a crowd, or falling from a high place. As these
past life traumas are explored and resolved in therapy sessions, the
phobias cease to exist for the clients.
The process of past life therapy (PLT) is being used effectively by
mental health professionals in many countries.36 Through the
emotional feelings and body sensations associated with an identified
present life problem, the client is prompted to locate the source or
cause or origin of the problem. This usually leads to the discovery
of a pain-filled memory in a past lifetime existence. The client, in
the personality of the past-life character, is guided to resolution
of the traumatic episode in the lifetime, and finally through the
moment of death.
From this point, the newly deceased soul can review the life, easily
recall the source of anger, fear, resentment, and any other
unresolved conflicts in the life-time. This after-death experience
can be a rich font of healing for the client. The therapist assists
the client in resolving any remaining emotional issues, any
unfinished business in that life, finally to the point of being
willing to forgive the individuals involved in the past life
incidents, including one’s own self. Self forgiveness may be the
most difficult to accept. With this resolution and healing of past
hurts, the client can leave behind the trauma of that lifetime and
integrate the lessons of the healed experience into the present life
situation.
Once the past life character is separated from the physical body and
free from any physical constraint or emotional ties with the
lifetime, it can move away from the body and the death scene and
make the transition fully into the Light. This part of the narrative
is similar to descriptions of the near-death experience (NDE),37
during which the being returns from the threshold of the Light and
rejoins the physical body.
The past-life personality, in fact all the past life and potential
future life
personalities, are contained within the soul essence, along with the
memories and
life-scripts of all lifetimes. The entire panorama of past lives, and
future lives, on this planet and elsewhere, is available to the
client in an altered state of consciousness. The linear flow of time is an artifact of the physical
universe, which a being
experiences only while incarnated in physical form. Past and future
lives do not
seem to be arranged in this linear fashion.38
Many emotional problems and conflicts are quickly and effectively
resolved through PLT, usually in far fewer sessions than with
conventional therapy. Many physical ailments are considered to be
psychosomatic, and these conditions may begin to diminish or cease
altogether. With the knowledge and wisdom gained through past life
regression therapy and the power of forgiveness, the unfinished
business, the unresolved issues, the emotional residue of past times
can be healed. Then a person can live, and love, more fully in the
present moment. There is enormous healing potential in past life
therapy.
Past life therapy, when performed by a well-trained professional
therapist, is a powerful, safe, swift, direct approach to
psychotherapy, and the results are often immediate and lasting. The
amazing success of past life therapy does not depend on the belief
or disbelief of either the therapist or the client. Reincarnation as
an age-old philosophical concept and theoretical reality is a
spiritual teaching; past life therapy is a well-established
psychotherapeutic technique that works.
Pete and Marian
Pete was a 35-year-old TV producer. He suffered from diabetes which
required a daily intake of 12 units of insulin by injection. This
is not a high dosage but it is significant. Pete had lost the vision
in one eye, and was suffering impaired circulation in his legs which
could eventually lead to amputation. Pete’s body was literally
giving out beneath him. He was awash in helpless anger.
The TV show was an interview format, and I had been invited to
discuss past life regression therapy. Marian, the hostess, had
reluctantly volunteered to undergo an altered state session in
preparation for the show. About the only way an inter-viewer can
formulate intelligent questions on a little-known subject like past
life therapy is to actually experience a session.
Marian chose to explore a disturbing dream which had been recurring
two or three times a week as far back as she could remember. In the
dream, she sensed herself looking down on a small, old-fashioned
town. She floated along a brick road to the edge of town and that
was it, the dream would end. Several times a week, week after week,
she would awaken with a feeling of sadness. Not the best way to face
life each day!
I asked Marian to recall and describe the dream. She related the
short segment and I urged her to continue and describe what she
experienced next. Surprised that her “dream” continued, she saw
that the brick road extended down to the edge of a small river. The
scene ended there.
At my suggestion, she started to narrate the dream again. This time,
I made a
clinical assumption that the “dream” was a repressed, emotionally
laden memory,
perhaps from a past lifetime. At the end of her narrative, I
directed Marian to
locate a time when she was in her body in the town. She immediately
recalled an event and began to describe it. The assumption seemed to
be valid. Her response could also be the result of my direction.
What followed, however, was not the result of any suggestion.
She was engaged to be married. She was standing before the smoking
ruins of the home of her fiancé and his parents, feeling desperate
and confused. They had all died in the fire. The constable of the
small town assumed she was guilty of setting the fire and attempted
to take her into custody. She escaped and ran into the woods
surrounding the area, where she remained, undetected, for several
hours.
She heard noises in the brush nearby. Three “highwaymen,” as she
called them, discovered her, raped her, and slit her throat. She
floated above the treetops, separated now from her body and
pain-free, yet deeply saddened by the death of her fiancé and very
confused.
In spirit, time is no barrier to exploration. She could move back
and forth and observe, much like fast forwarding or reversing a
video tape. She explored the circumstances of the fire and
discovered that her fiancé had set the blaze, planning for his
parents to die, counting on their meager wealth as his inheritance.
To his horror, he had been trapped in the house, and had died along
with them. She was terribly disappointed by his behavior and by her
own poor judgment of his character. Her naive infatuation for him
quickly vanished.
She drifted across her little town, over the brick road, across the
flowing river, and began to rise toward an approaching Light. This
new understanding relieved her confusion and eased her sadness.
Marian came out of the altered state feeling somehow unburdened. She
had to rush to fix her makeup to be ready for air time.
Pete wanted to explore his diabetes through regression therapy. It
was now 11:00 AM and the show was scheduled to begin at noon. I
agreed to do the session, even though it would have to be brief.
He went right into the experience.
Dr. B.: “How do you feel about what’s happening to your body?”
He began to feel the anger. His eyes closed as he gave vent to his
emotions and described his physical sensations. Dr. B.: “Good, let those feelings take you back to another time when
you felt the same way. Locate the source of the feelings of anger.
Recall the origin of those sensations in your body. Let those
feelings take you right back.”
He found himself as an Indian hunting with a bow and arrow; he was
stalking a bear. He shot the bear. It was not a fatal shot. The bear
turned, chased him, knocked him down, clawed at him, tore his body
open, ripping apart the intestines and internal organs, including
the pancreas, the organ which malfunctions in the condition of
diabetes.
As the non-physical body, the etheric body, rose out of the physical
body, I said,
“Look at your form now. How does it appear?”
Pete: “It’s all ripped open, it’s all torn, it’s wide open, it’s
ripped, it’s torn.”
He was already rising toward the approaching Light.
We only had about 15 minutes left before air time. I directed Pete
to fill the torn spaces in the etheric body with light. I suggested
that he begin to imagine light coming in from the brightness above
him, to just funnel light into every space in his etheric form. This
was a good moment to use guided imagery.
The etheric body seems to carry the patterns for the future physical
body, including the seeds of illness. If it is fully healed at that
point, there will be no possibility of that illness in a future
incarnation. If it is healed in the past, the physical condition in
the present life may improve, the symptoms of illness may ise.
Dr. B.: “Can you see the light coming in?”
P.: “Yes, it’s pouring in.” Dr. B.: “How does it feel?”
P.: “It’s wonderful, it’s warm.” Dr. B.: “Is it full yet?”
P.: “No.” Dr. B.: “Keep pouring it in.” Which he did for a good ten minutes. I
checked my watch at least twice a minute. We were very close to air
time. P.: “It’s full.” He said this in a very peaceful voice.
Dr. B.: “How does that feel?” P.: “Wonderful!” was his heartfelt reply.
The spirit of this Indian rose into the Light in that peaceful,
healed state. The regression was complete. We had five minutes to
spare and Pete rushed to makeup. An assistant patted my forehead
with a powder puff and I was escorted into the studio.
When the show began, Marian offered a few words about hypnotherapy
and regression therapy. She shared what she had just experienced.
Still a little groggy, she was not her usual “cool” self when the
show began and the audience loved it.
Pete did not usually appear on the show. This day, however, he
wanted to share his regression experience also. Pete was profoundly
aware that something had changed within his body. With awe in his
voice he said, “I’m going to have to get something to eat. My body
is starting to produce insulin.”
Three months later I was again invited to appear on the show. A
member of the audience asked about regression therapy and dreams.
Marian related her regression experience. She had not had the dream
since her session. It was simply gone!
Pete reported that he only required one fourth of the amount of
insulin he had used prior to his brief session. A year later, he was
down to one tenth of his former dosage. His physician had no
explanation, yet he did not negate the results. He did acknowledge
that the mind is very powerful, and that these things sometimes
happen. Pete was delighted.
Sparks of Consciousness
Past life therapy is based on the philosophy that the human spirit
is, in its essence, an individual being, an indivisible spark of
consciousness, with the complete memory of its experience since extending from
Source, God, Goddess, the All That Is. This spark emanated, along
with countless other individual beings, from an ineffable Creator
Source, the brightest Light in the Universe of Universes.
Each particle, or spark of the original Totality, is termed a
“monad.” Like the parts
of a hologram, each fragment of the whole contains a complete
replica of the
Totality when it was in its perfect state. Every monad is endowed
with the urge to
return to this perfect state, which keeps it in perpetual motion
toward eventual
reunion with God.39
There may be billions of star systems and billions of planets in the
universe where these individual sparks of consciousness can exist in
some form of “life.” Some of them seem to move from one planet to
another. A small segment of these conscious beings chose the planet
Earth as their destination.
There seems to be a portal or entryway into the earth cycle of
existence. After coming through this portal, there are great Halls
of Learning where the spirit being prepares for earth life before
moving into the Planning Stage.
In the Planning Stage just before entering the physical life cycle
and connecting with the physical body, a form of spiritual contract
is established which involves choosing the circumstances for the
coming life.40 This includes details such as: gender, geographical
location, parents and family situation including material wealth,
general health of the planned physical body, love partners, spouses,
children, and opportunities for spiritual growth, learning
forgiveness, goals and life purpose, and balancing past “karmic
debts.”41 There are several guides or spiritual counselors who
assist in planning the Lifescript.
Individual beings repeatedly take physical form in a series of
lifetimes, or incarnations, each time in their own human body. This
is part of the plan, the contract, the Lifescript; one soul, one
body. No other being has the right to inhabit the contracted body.
When the body falls away in death, the spirit being returns to a
specific level of the Light, or spirit space, a place of very high
consciousness. This place has been called Heaven or the Light.
(Throughout the book, the term “Light” will be capitalized when used
in this sense.)
In the Light there is a Review Stage where the being can reflect on
the life just past, assessing the growth, learning, the fulfilled
opportunities, the unfinished business, and any newly incurred
imbalances or karmic debts.42 There are also spiritual counselors
who assist in this process. From that state, the being moves into
the Halls of Learning and the process is repeated. This is the Wheel
of Life,43 the process of recycling for human spirits.
Exploring the farther reaches of the mind through regression therapy
is a fascinating journey. We are not at all limited to life on
Earth. Some clients recall going back and forth between this planet
and some “homeworld” they remember as their primary destination
after leaving the Light of Creator Source. They describe coming here
for various reasons, and returning “home,” or longing to return.
Past Life Recall As Extraterrestrial
The therapist’s suggestions to “Recall...” or “Locate...” are
powerful commands to the subconscious mind. If those levels of mind
designated subconscious and unconscious do hold the soul memories of
other lives, the space between lives, and existence on other worlds,
then these memories are available and easily uncovered through
regression therapy in an altered state of consciousness.
For the past 16 years we have conducted experiential seminars in
past life exploration. The seminar includes several group
regressions: to locate the source of present day emotions of anger,
fear, sadness, and guilt; to explore one’s primary love
relationship; to rediscover one’s purpose in life; and to understand
the perceived separation from God. The instruction for the
regression on one’s purpose is direct and effective.
“Recall the first time you chose to come to the planet Earth.”
After a few moments of silence, the instruction is altered slightly
and repeated to prompt remembering from there instead of here.
“Recall the experience of choosing for the first time to go to the
planet called Earth.”
Over the years, we and other therapists and seminar facilitators who
conduct
similar regressions, have found between 50% and 70% of any group
will recall the
experience of choosing to come to planet Earth from somewhere else.
For those
who find such a memory, we guide them in discovering the purpose for
coming. It
is a profound memory and startling knowledge for most people.44
Nearly everyone reports the original purpose for coming was to bring
light, love, healing, spiritual learning, and awakening of
consciousness for the inhabitants of earth. People describe this
place as a very dense, heavy planet and this heaviness dulls the
consciousness and dims the memory. Those who came earlier forgot
their true identity and whence they came. And many of the beings
among the waves of helpers who came with that same purpose have also
forgotten. This era has been called a time of great awakening.
Perhaps some of our “space brothers” have come on that same mission
again. Unfortunately, some of the “aliens” seem to be here to take
advantage of the confusion. Most of the time it’s difficult to tell
them apart.
Kathy
Kathy recalled a lifetime on another world. She described it as
“returning home for further instructions” before continuing in a
long series of earth lifetimes. She was a teacher and healer, and it
was her job to bring that energy to this planet.
Sam
Sam, a highly intelligent young man, was seriously depressed, even
suicidal,
and felt like he had lost his direction and purpose in life. In
session, he recalled his
origins on another planet. He was one of a group of students
attending an institution of higher learning there, and the trip to earth for a human
incarnation was
nothing more than a field trip for his group. He had lost contact
with them and felt
alone in his mission.
As he touched into the consciousness of his
group, he learned
that many who had come had also forgotten their mission, had lost
sight of their
purpose, and more than a few had committed suicide. With this
regression, Sam’s depression eased, he regained his enthusiasm for
following the spiritual path of learning, and I suspect he will go
on to fulfill his assignment here on his field trip to earth.
Ted
Ted attended our Basic SRT Training Course. As a hypnotherapist, he
wanted to expand his knowledge and skills. He volunteered as a
demonstration subject. The tale that emerged is not uncommon, yet
was quite disturbing to Ted.
We discovered an attached ET which had been in place for a long
time. Not unusual. It’s stated purpose was to gather data on the
human animal in normal earth life circumstances. Again, a very
common situation. What came next was a bit unusual, though we have
heard it in other sessions. I directed Ted to locate the origin of
this ET connection. He was very surprised at what his own
subconscious mind and the attached ET disclosed.
Prior to the present lifetime, the being that is now manifesting as
Ted was an associate of the attached ET! They knew each other! They
were fellow citizens on another planet, in another density; Ted was
an ET! His past lives were on another planet. This bit of knowledge
was hard for him to accept, yet there it was, coming from his own
memory banks.
As part of a “scientific” team in the other place, Ted agreed to
come into the Earth cycle as a sort of guinea pig for the
experiment. As a human being, he would be a living laboratory for
his teammates to study without the hostility or resistance that a
native earth inhabitant might exhibit toward invasive ETs.
They had followed him to Earth, moved into his physical body when
Ted was very young, and had set up their equipment. Whatever the
effects, he was used to it since it had been there nearly all his
life.
Ted chose to release the ET and get rid of the equipment, the
communication
and control devices that had been implanted. He did not like what he
had discovered about his own past, and he now chose a different course. He
literally abandoned the alien project and chose human life. The ETs didn’t like
it, but they
honored his choice. They had always known it was one of the possible
outcomes
of such an experiment if Ted discovered them.45
The Nordic Type
One type of alien being which has been reported often in recent
years has come to be identified as the “Nordic” type. Blond, blue
eyed, kindly and helpful. Apparently these types have been coming to
earth for millennia.
Several clients have related past lives in Central America during
which they took the role of priest or priestess, seeking to teach
and lead the “primitive” peoples to higher spiritual awareness. They
described themselves as tall, blond, fair skinned, Nordic in
appearance. They remembered the instructions they received
periodically from their home-world, either by direct communication or
by traveling there and returning to earth. They were
extraterrestrials who had come to help the people of earth. Now they
stay on as humans.
For a time the local citizens listened to the wisdom of these sky
people. then finally rebelled and slaughtered the “different” ones.
After the eradication of the ET influence and guidance, the native
chiefs and priests distorted the spiritual teaching and practices.
With the failure to understand the priestly rituals and incantations
as communications with the home-world of their former spiritual
leaders, the ceremonies became empty rituals to imaginary “gods” who
did not answer their prayers, did not fulfill their needs.
Eventually, the chiefs started the practice of human sacrifice in an
attempt to send “messengers” to the gods with prayers for
assistance.
Blood sacrifice, the taking of human life in such ritual, was
ineffectual, yet it became a common routine for those humans who
assumed power in leadership positions. Human sacrifice became an
instrument of fear, a way of maintaining control over the people.
This was a gross misuse of power and a terrible distortion of the
meaning of the rituals and incantations, which were originally a
means of communication between the “Nordic” ETs and their home-world.
When we explore this kind of situation through the far memory of a
client who was the victim in such a ritual in a past lifetime, we
uncover the DFEs controlling the priests and executioners. This type
of human activity always seems to be motivated, controlled, and
perpetuated by the dark forces.
The anguish of the “messenger” about to be victimized is an energy
which can be collected by the DFEs. The energy of fear in the
citizens, as well as the blood lust in the onlookers as the crowds
attend the sacrifice, can also be harvested and used as “food” for
the DFEs and their superiors. This mechanism of harvesting energy
takes on greater significance as we explore the ET/DFE connection in
later chapters.
When a client discovers such a disturbing memory, it can be a past
life personality, though just as often it is the traumatic death
memory of an attached entity. If it is an entity, the remote release
of the dark beings from that past scene, and the clearing of the
dark energy residue still clinging to the earthbound spirit of the
sacrificial victim, will allow this troubled soul to go home to the
Light. Under-standing the mistakes made in that lifetime will lead
to freedom. Peace and healing can come at last.
When we hear the details of lives as sacrificial victims, it is
nearly always the same lament. The ceremony of human sacrifice was
for the purpose of appeasing the gods, or for carrying a request for
help, a prayer to the gods for much needed assistance, such as rain
for the crops, or healing the people from some sort of plague.
The one carrying the urgent message might even volunteer for the
service out
of loving devotion to his people. A liquid potion, always recalled
as bitter in taste,
was given to the “messenger” and soon they would feel a delicious
euphoria. Next,
a physical numbness and paralysis would set in. Breathing and
heartbeat would
cease, the spirit would lift out of the physical body, and would
begin searching for
the gods, eager to deliver the message. What followed was
disappointment, disillusionment, and anger. The messenger would search in the lower astral
realms, and
the “gods” were not to be found there; the message could not be
delivered. The mission was meaningless, the loving devotion lost in
the nothingness. Such an entity, overwhelmed with frustration,
feelings of betrayal, disappointment, and anger, often attached to a
living person nearby.
If the messenger chosen was a vestal virgin, the process often
included a last minute sexual encounter with the male priest or
priests, usually against the wishes of the sacrificial victim. There
was no defense against such violation.
Beyond Death
After the death scene in a past life regression, the newly deceased
spirit usually moves toward the Light. Here in the Earth cycle, the
Light is always golden-white, warm, and very bright. The description
is similar to the accounts of the near death experience, the
NDE,
except the spirit is joined by other beings who come to guide the
newcomer completely into the Light. Only when the newly deceased
spirit moves fully into the Light is the past life really over. But
that is only one possible option for the newly deceased spirit.
We
will explore some of the other possibilities.
