email correspondence

Here’s a back and forth set of emails with a fellow named Dennis (a pseudonym). We’ve talked on the phone a lot and he’s shared some intense memories of what we all know as the UFO abduction phenomenon. But it get’s weirder, his experiences include Bigfoot and the ever-present synchronicities.

I thought our email conversation was interesting, so I’m sharing it with the world.

Hey Mike,

So I've been thinking about a couple things you said during our last conversation. You talked about seeing five aliens in your yard and marveled at the level of denial which took place.

I've been wondering where your process is because it seems like there has been a large shift in your thinking.

Dennis,

You ask about my process?

Hahahahaha

My process is sorta all over the map.

I say the same thing over and over and over. I have all these puzzle pieces that are interlocked on the table, and they absolutely make a picture. There are pieces missing but I can certainly infer what's in those blank spots. I'm left to conclude that I am an alien abductee. But, without knowing absolutely what’s inside those blank areas, it just feels dishonest to make that claim.

So - I go right up to the line with how I present myself. I say (rather awkwardly) that I am someone who might have, maybe, experienced some sort of contact event in my life, but it might be on some dream-like or ethereal level that is hard to explain. Maybe, sorta, kinda.

I'll periodically say to my self, SCREW IT! I should just declare what I suspect is true! But (as I said above) it just wouldn't feel honest without some direct memory.

Now, that said, I have been told by psychics (more than one) that I came to the earth plane after consciously choosing NOT to remember these experiences. For some reason, there is a purpose to this NOT knowing. As strange as that sounds, this seems to "feel" like a truism.

I think my personal level of acceptance or denial can waver on a sort of continuum, depending on how the wind blows.

How's that for a wishy-washy reply?

peace,
Mike C

Hey Mike,

I really enjoyed your response to where's your process...I could relate very well to what you wrote. There was a time when I was exploring the "reality" of my experiences (while having very clear memories...how's that for denial.) and often felt very conflicted about their nature.

I don't think that's wishy washy at all. I think it shows that your bumping into a dynamic, complex unknown set of experiences and doing your honest best to apprise them.

I don't mean to sound as if I've "graduated" beyond these experiences to some level of proficient, fearless interaction...I simply have not. I guess I have some measure of peace that I didn't a decade or so ago. I think these experiences, and all the ancillary stressors that seem to come with the territory, take an enormous toll.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I very much enjoyed your email.

Merry Christmas,
Dennis

Dennis,

I just re-read our correspondence, and I might use some of the text in a blog post. I thought the ideas and anxieties we articulated were really good.

Peace,
Mike C!
