When asked why one participant was abducted less often than another, the C’s responded: “You fight it” (1994-10-9). The first four of Druffel’s techniques can be classified as forms of fighting:
Mental struggle (#1) is a “strong, internal, silent struggle, directed toward moving one small part of the body, usually a finger or toe” during the initial paralysis stage of an abduction. This requires sustained willpower, and when paralysis is broken, abductees report the abduction halts and the entities disappear.
Physical struggle (#2) involves the threat or use of physical violence against the abductors, usually prior to the onset of paralysis. This may involve lunging, throttling, threatening postures, punching (as in the case of Travis Walton, who punched a Gray), or brandishing weapons. For Druffel this suggests that the entities (Grays in this case) are either physically weaker than humans, or physically vulnerable when in our realm.
Righteous anger (#3) “often builds up after repeated visitations and abductions, but the anger must be focused toward asserting one’s rights.” Druffel notes that it is “best combined with strong commands, either verbal or mental, such as ‘Go away!’ ‘Leave me alone!’ and so on.” It must be deliberate and controlled, focused on the source of anger. “Diffused anger is never effective as a resistance technique.”
Protective rage (#4) is used to protect others who cannot protect themselves, especially young children. It involves the “repeated verbal rejection of the entities,” using one’s voice “strongly and assertively” to hurl curses and other rejecting statements at the intruders.
