Interpretation Of Consciousness-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
I struggled with Mary’s interpretation of consciousness at first. I could not put my finger on it but something about it rubbed me the wrong way and I dismissed it. But dismissing something in my head is far simpler than reasoning it out in writing.
I have had various soft contact with aliens in dreams, mediations and once I even thought I saw something. All incidences were quite out of the norm and left such a strong emotional signature that on some level I understood it was more than mere imagination. However, I was still waiting for the hard, indisputable proof.
This ‘thing’ I thought I saw once was a six foot tall insect sitting across me while eating lunch at a food court. An image flashed by my inner eye for a mere second and I had a strong sense that someone was sitting there and observing me. I entertained the possibility that this could be an alien for a few hours, but then reason got a hold of me and I decided that my imagination was particularity active that day.

As soon as I heard Praying Mantis, cold shivers ran through my body. This is exactly what I saw that day, but could not name.
Mary brought up the subject again and this is what I did not want to accept. I had clear ideas how aliens should show up in my experience and how they might look. The reality turned out to be far more mundane, as it is with many things in life.
Now I have to come to grips with the realization that my fantasies about having a star family were formed back in my childhood and that the time has come to grow up and face who or what is presenting itself in my life.
On a side note, facing my own defense mechanisms around aliens leaves me with far more compassion for all those government officials who decided years ago to suppress

According to British author of The Real Men in Black, Nick Redfern, accounts of those who shared encounters with the men in black all had similar denominators. All victims admittedly had seen a UFO, were involved in an alien abduction of some sort, or possessed an unexplainable artifact. Along with that, many of those who have met the strange men also began to investigate and attempted to spread their findings to those who would listen.

    For years, people have stated that they have had encounters with the paranormal, but their story usually goes untold nationally. With the Montana UFO story, it was covered up by the media/government and only came to public awareness years later. This is the case with nearly all related incidents (since they are seen as threats to national security). The text includes an exert on the Malmstrom Air Force Base in which records of UFOs were noted. The Air Force did not believe the UFOs were helicopters despite what the media suggested; whatever it was, it remained unidentified, which is why it considered a UFO.…
