It&#8217;s possible that what is being taken is akin to a soul or some ethereal form\u2014perhaps even as an orb.

If such pain can be felt in dreams without a physical trace, it stands to reason that a person\u2019s consciousness could similarly experience pain during abduction scenarios. I find it entirely believable when someone says they felt pain during such an ordeal. However, those who don\u2019t experience such vivid sensations in their dreams may struggle to empathize with abductees.<\/p>\n<p>What if these experiences are beyond our comprehension due to the constraints of our three-dimensional reality? The concept of separating consciousness from the body resembles a form of induced astral projection, which is notoriously difficult to validate. I\u2019ve had experiences during meditation that felt more real than actual reality, yet how can I prove it?<\/p>\n<p>If NHIs possess the capability to temporarily extract one\u2019s consciousness, they might also have the means to erase memories of the experience. This could be akin to how we forget past lives, or perhaps the experience is so traumatic that we remember some aspects, while the rest remains buried.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also possible that the entities induce episodes of sleep paralysis, making us dismiss the abduction experience as mere nocturnal phenomena like sleepwalking or a typical sleep disturbance. They might prefer this concealment to avoid infringing on our free will. This approach carries risks\u2014occasional slip-ups in their methods or technology could lead to individuals recalling parts of their experience. Ideally, these encounters would leave no memories or sensations, indicating that they operate with benevolent intentions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nHere are some reflections I jotted down while reading about Robert Hastings&#8217; account of alien abductions: What if non-human intelligence (NHI) or alien abductions don&#8217;t actually involve physically removing a person from their bedroom to their spacecraft, but instead involve extracting their consciousness?
