Just wanted to chime in that I've been experiencing an increased frequency of ear-ringings as well. While they're usually in the left ear, this last week I've had three in my right ear. Also the experience where the sound kind of "drops out" and gets muffled for several seconds.
As for the session, I think the info on homosexuality and imprinting is very interesting. I just read a book by Arthur Horn called Humanity's Extraterrestrial Origins, which has a very interesting chapter on imprinting. (The book itself is kind of outdated, having been written in 1994, but it's a good synthesis of the best aspects of Bramley, Sitchin, and some of the earlier channeling like Marciniak's Pleiadians.) Horn hypothesizes that the ETs have manipulated and taken advantage of imprinting to cultivate "divide and conquer" tendencies among humanity. While the possibilities are much more than he mentions, he makes some interesting observations.
Based on the research on imprinting, it looks like most animal behavior is largely influenced by imprinting. (Based on my limited reading, e.g. Sheldrake and others, it seems to me that genes code mostly for physical properties, which facilitate the various imprint stages which "wire" behavior, explaining why something like homosexuality is not strictly "hard-wired" per se.) Horn uses Bonner's definition of culture (the tranfer of information by behavioral means) to account for why culture is so ingrained in the human psyche. He notes that, in bird studies, there's evidence that sexual preference is imprinted in the first few hours or days, as well as food preferences and habitat preferences.
Noting that following Lorenz's research, imprinting was thought to occur only during a limited sensitive period, and is irreversible:
Researchers have found filial imprinting, sexual, ecological, and social imprinting, and that sexual imprinting is largely through the olfactory sense (smell), e.g. in rats. They've also found that social status and clan were imprinted. Immelmann and Suomi defined imprinting as "an early learning process with a rather stable result." That is, it is the process of integration, in the Dabrowskian sense. At certain periods the mind/body is open to the shaping factors of the environment (this occurs during growth spurts). A plastic structure solidifies and becomes rigid. This is the structure that is broken down in positive disintegration. In humans the "critical periods" are longer and more variable. Language is an example. There is a stage of language acquisition (2-12 years), after which, if there isn't any exposure to language, children can't learn it. Also, the specific sounds used and heard get set (e.g. the inability of most Japanese to differentiate between "r" and "l").
Even vision is susceptible. Kittens with one eye covered during the imprint stage cannot see with that eye after. The connections aren't made because the essential experience is lacking. (Third man, anyone??) Also, further experiences are needed to "help refine and solidify the connections already made", so even if the the initial connections are made, if the particular behavior does not take place, the critical period passes, and the skill is left undeveloped. This has huge spiritual implications, I think. As Horn writes, "this elegant self-tuning process of brain development does leave an animal highly susceptible to false and distorted information that would probably have a lasting negative effect on the adult animal." Just how many neuron connections do we not develop because of our toxic environment??
If we look at all the areas affected by imprinting, the picture is scary. "ETs" could hypothetically create a culture with violent behaviors, lack spiritual abilities, love toxic food (e.g. wheat and dairy!), and even create problems by influencing sexuality so that those with more sensitive critical periods to experience even more suffering because of those others who have been imprinted with homophobia!

Horn said:As research continued, however, some researchers found that, in some cases, the preferred object(s) (such as food preferences) on which the animal had been imprinted could be changed under certain circumstances. Some researchers pointed out that some types of imprinting are more persistent than others. Sexual imprinting, for instance, is more persistent than an imprint for food preferences. Also it was seen that some individual birds imprinted more readily than other individual animals. In light of these and other difficulties encountered during research on imprinting, K. Immelmann, a German researcher on animal behavior, has suggested that the term "irreversible" be replaced by the term "persistence" in the imprinting research.
