I am glad you liked my story. Jnana you are definately right that we shouldn't typecast certain races of ETs with good or bad as I am certain they have different factions, sometimes with completely different goals within a certain race and of course we must never forget the specific individual ET being we are dealing with... but all theory aside when one reads about the tons of experiences (both negative and positive) that people have had with the ETs, being very careful can't hurt you as well as adding clauses (like focusing only on those compliant with your highest good) to your 'invocations' of these beings and energies. Being pragmatical I wouldn't venture readily in a 'bad neighbourhood', even if that means typecasting that neighborhood because of its prevailent demographics
At the end of the day, we still largely have no idea what we are dealing with and the rules by which they play. (Maybe the "bad guys" are actually "good" for us.. I really don't know). It is quite obvious from contactee experiences that many things can be against our will (at least our normal awake will). It is far from my intention to spread fear about it but one has to be aware and see both sides of the coin. We have to be aware of the possibility that there may be many beings that would like to make contact with certain individuals (for whatever the reasons) and all they lack is their willing participation in such a contact. (something to the effect of the respect of free will)
Now on the more positive side, contact with ETs can be absolutely magnificent, both in 3D and in the higher layers. The point of 'not ready' to see them in 3D has been brought up and to this my opinion is that if that were the case then one can start from the 'higher' layers and then proceed slowly to 3D. In more practical terms this means:
Choose your method for ESP communication. If you are good with RV that can work miracles but since most of us don't have the time and energy necessary to develop skills to this level, we can turn to something we all do daily - dreaming and going to lucid dreaming. Now of course this can spark a debate on the reliability and 'realness' of these methods but in each and every way, whether you believe it to be real or not it will serve the main purpose: "Getting you feel comfortable among beings and energies which are of ET origin and many times even look different... nothing like meeting an insectoid lol". If you can get to astral projection than the experience is few more magnitudes more powerful.
I personaly think this method is far more 'natural' and convenient for them, as they don't have to venture into the dangers of 3D space on this planet and so close to the surface (too much advanced technology in the hands of humans who don't think twice before shooting and then asking questions).
I always suspected that there is some kind of a system that monitors the thoughts of every being on this planet. It is interesting to see confirmation from someone like Jake Simpson. If this is already readily available on this planet to the humans we can't even imagine the degree of knowledge and transparency some of the ETs have. This leads us to the point with which I completely agree. If the ETs that are making contact are 'positive', the last thing they want is to elicit fear or even fear based responses. (And they will know it I am sure, even before the contact has been initiated by a simple scan of the individual wanting to make contact.)
henners: My personal opinion about being obsessed by UFOs as a child is a strong 'symptom' of being a so called 'wanderer','starseed' etc. To my opinion this phenomenon is very real.. but as always its up for a large debate on the details .. which is for another time and place
