Being pretty much a newbie to material presented (just discovered The Wave in Feb/March) and trying to absorb as much as possible, I decided to step back and re-read the Wave more carefully (since I was so enthralled with the information presented, I wanted to read as much as possible as quickly as possible). So, right now, I'm on ch. 21 which describes an event in my life pretty much to tee...
I was a very naive 20 yo ... my girlfriend would no longer associate with me since I was not 'saved' and living a 'sinful' life. But I wasn't thinking about this, I was only in my room and laying on the bed, not thinking about anything at all when all of a sudden I had the feeling I was 'touched by an angel'. The feeling was indescribable, I've never felt so loved or secure before or since. Naturally, the very next day I called my friend, told her what happened and gave my life to Christ, was baptized, bought bibles, etc.
This has always puzzled me, and I never heard of this happening to anyone before. It was never easy to talk about, since Christians would warn against Satanic influence and other friends would perceive a sort of 'me special' attitude which I never felt. It only seemed to be a calling, a purpose to get my life straight; that the harvest was coming and the event confirmed for me the spiritual reality that I needed better direction. And naturally, the bible was the ONLY truth anyone ever needed.
Anyway, at this point I haven't seen this girlfriend in years (she refused my request to be a bridesmaid since I was living in sin with my soon to be husband) and I have tried but have never succeeded in contacting her.
On a completely different note, I have a current friend that tells me she has had 'visitations' from both her mom and dad after they died...and also that she remembers as a little girl, seeing a 'reptile-type' thing looking at her through her bedroom window. She couldn't be sure, but says this has happened more than twice to her as a child. She also happens to be the only person I can talk to about UFOs and aliens...she being the first to actually introduce me to these strange sightings, which ultimately led me here.
So, in my haste and excitement of actually having a person who can confirm some things, I began telling her about the things I've read, explaining parts of the upcoming Wave, when she stopped me and said she couldn't handle any cataclysmic type talk, and I realized what a terrible mistake I had made. The Wave has never again been discussed by me with anyone else, but we do still talk about aliens, UFO disclosure et al.
This so called angel visitation completely changed my life, and came at a time I really felt I was unloveable by anyone except god. That deception led me to waste 30 years believing a lie, and led me in directions I wouldn't have taken otherwise (especially since being a woman, I now knew my place). More importantly, I believed any information besides the bible in spiritual matters was a path to destruction, so now I find myself in completely foreign territory ... behind the 8-ball, so to speak. But I can't worry about that...step by step.
I wanted to express my gratitude for the above referenced quote...It really explained how very personally these critters can affect you.
What about stimulation of pleasure chemicals? How easy would it be for them to implant an idea, send a voice message via an idea construct, and then simultaneously stimulate the pleasure centers of the brain so that the individual is washed through and through with warmth and love, thereby being convinced that the idea that is being contemplated is very positive and life affirming when it is, in fact, actually the opposite.
