Moving along in the Daniel Harran book, I get closer and
closer to our buddy Dominick’s distaste for exotic (or stupid) UFO conjectures,
including my own.
Dr. Harran’s regurgitation of some John Mack abduction
analyses, along with a few that Dr. Harran has gathered from the literature,
present, for me, a sickening [sic] feeling of analysis gone very wrong.
That so-called “abduction” accounts, most of them, are based
in former or recent sexual assaults is so obvious that Dr. John Mack, with all
his psychiatric knowledge, not seeing the obvious, baffles the hell out of me.
That some “experiencers” have endured a kind of malignant
sexual encounter and integrated the traumatic experience into a UFO kidnapping
account is blatantly clear.
I won’t go into the details that confirm the matter, for me
– the examples and, often under hypnosis, recounting of the events makes
readers (or hearers) churn with disgust.
That said, Dr. Harran, furthering his idea that UFO events
are propagated by elementals or a kind of along-side-us species of long-time
mythologies and tales made me remove my suggestion that the “gods” of old could
be the UFO culprits. The ideas (mine and Harran’s) rebuke Ockham’s razor and common
sense.
UFOs might derive from time, or ETs stationed in a venue
closer to us than their home planet or civilization.
And UFOs might come from a parallel universe or dimension
but if they contain beings, those beings aren’t coming to Earth (or showing up
here) to perform mayhem or even sexual experimentation on human beings.
Human sexuality is unique to Earth’s evolutionary processes,
and an intrinsic behavioral pattern of all species on Earth (flora and fauna).
That an ethereal, “hidden” group or advanced
extraterrestrial species are enwrapped in a sexual proclivity that predominates
in alleged “abduction” accounts goes to Freud’s understanding, and ours, of how
humans are obsessed with sexuality, in all things: art, literature, movies,
advertising, sport, daily life, everything!
Experiencers and those who are obsessed with their sordid
tales becloud the UFO phenomenon.
Dominick has it right: such conjectures – even mine, about
the old “gods” still extant and mucking around in UFOs – corrupt the study of
UFOs, a manifestation that intrigues but does not titillate, as a few would
like us to believe.
I’ve stopped reading Daniel Harran’s book, at Page 69. How
appropriate.
