This is a little long, but it's been on my mind. This is taking on the alien abduction phenomenon and the way people who say they've experienced that have been treated. It's a longish rant based on a Twitter UFO feed I took part in the other day, one that got me both a little miffed and a lot sad.
Give a thought to what you say or type, before you let the words leave your lips or before you press send on that email, tweet, message, or Facebook post. Your words carry weight...the weight of how someone feels about themselves. Decisions are made to understand, heal, or hurt with words, and the wrong words can do more damage than you can know or even ever be aware of. If you said something bad that caused your (insert beloved family member here) to harm themselves, how would you feel? What if your words prevented them from talking about something that was troubling them? So they kept unbelievable trauma locked away inside them until they couldn't bear it any longer. Why am I going on like this? I'll tell you. During the past few weeks there has been rumors and accusations in the Twitter UFO community over whether or not Travis Walton faked his UFO abduction. Alien abductions and experiencers are a touchy subject at best, and even in the UFO believer circles. I was astonished to discover that there are many UFO believers who don't believe people are taken against their will by non-human intelligences. That's fine. I'm of a more open mind. I don't believe they've been flying around up there and visiting us for the fresh air and water, after all we've been doing to it. And they are sure as hell not just doing it to please us because we think they're pretty. So what do they want? Leaving that aside, I said it is perfectly okay to be 100% nuts and bolts science when it comes to UFOs if you want. I love science, too. You might be leaving out a helluva part of the equation (the why of abductions, given that so many people have reported them and continue to do so). But it's fine. You don't have to believe in alien abductions. Or aliens. Whatever. What I absolutely can not understand is why you would mock or laugh at someone who confesses that they have been abducted, that they have experienced traumatic kidnapping by NHI and have had things done to them. Personally, I don't think, given the stigma still attached to the abduction phenomena that anyone would want to admit to something like that if they didn't truly believe it happened to them. And who is anyone else to say it didn't? I made a tweet to the point of saying that I had been seeing the treatment on Twitter lately of experiencers and I didn't like it. A UFO believer responded with "Well, maybe they should have some proof then?" Can you believe those words were typed by someone who believes in UFOs? What's more, a click on the person's profile indicated they were somewhat liberal. So I responded by saying "It's sort of like 'believe all women.' I guess. Most women and girls (and men and boys too) don't have "proof" when they are raped, or molested, or beaten by significant others, or sexually harassed. Who are you to say they weren't abducted. Were you there?" I believe there were some experiencers on that thread. I felt bad for them, but I'm sure it's nothing they haven't heard before. We have only gotten to the place in our society where we can generally accept that people see UFOs. I suppose accepting something as terrifying as an abduction may take a little more time. In the meantime, does it freaking hurt to not say a word if you personally don't believe it? Do you have to cajole, mock, torment and laugh at people who say they have been made unwilling guinea pigs to non-human intelligences, only to then have most of their memories of it erased? Does it hurt you to be kind to someone? It doesn't. Or it shouldn't anyway. I have heard some people say some strange things, but I don't laugh at anyone's experiences...because I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WENT THROUGH. I was not there. Let me ask this: If you don't believe in abductions, but you did see a UFO, when you finally told people about your UFO experience, did anyone laugh at you? I can imagine a few of you might have to think about this, but some of you, probably yes, huh? Doesn't feel good, does it? Why don't you remember that? You are hurting people in the same way. Even if you disbelieve, keep that shit to yourself if you can't be understanding and sympathetic. Be nice or scroll on by. Don't be a dick. Yes, I know I sound like a mommy right now. There's a reason I never had kids. This is it. Other human beings are generally disappointing. Not all of you. Some of you are the sweetest, compassionate, most kind and empathetic people I've had the joy of getting to know over the last couple of months or so. I'm glad to know most of you. One or two percent of you out there need to work on your empathy and compassion. Human evolution is social. And we can only do that by attaining the highest levels of happiness for ourselves, our loved ones, and others around us...every one of us. We are all one people. We are connected. We are One.
