I have admired Dr. Greer's efforts and applaud his endeavors as pertains to his books (I have them all). But as much as I've enjoyed listening to him via his DVD's and reading his books, I have to admit I do not adhere to his philosophy.

If memory serves, I do believe Dr. Greer feels MOST all abductions are via MILAB/government means. It is his belief that ALL extraterrestrials are benevolent. I do not hold to this theory -- in part, because of my own experiences.

I have been working with a Ph.D. re: my experiences (she is an experiencer herself and well respected/regarded in this field) -- I have also been working with a Native American vis-a-vis my experiences. I think it fair to say the three of us are on the same page when it comes to how we feel about some of these Beings.

Many are truly Benevolent -- some are definitely not. Some, perhaps most, in my opinion, are somewhere in between.

Just as with the human species, there are varying types of behaviors with these Beings. Just because they may be far more intelligent than we humans, or just because their technologies may far surpass our own, does NOT always make them a Benevolent and/or benign species!

Some, I believe, are truly here to assist us through this transition -- some are here as dividers.

Melinda Leslie is a great researcher -- she has researched MILABS for many years, now (along with Joe Montaldo). She can certainly tell you about some of her experiences with the more malevolent species. She is also well versed as to the 're-abduction scenario,' carried out by factions of our military industrial complex. Melinda and Joe just gave a fascinating interview on Coast-to-Coast re: this subject. Contrary to what Dr. Greer states, Melinda states there must be a reason as to why these MILABS occur.

They are occurring, she states, because there is a need by some in our government to learn more from the abductees as to what these Beings WANT, i.e., what is their agenda, etc. Melinda also feels that perhaps the biggest reason these MILABS occur is because of the fact that many, if not most abductees, seem to have knowledge imparted to them by these Beings as to how these craft operate (it is found to be by telepathic means). In other words, the mind most dedinitely plays a part as to the operations of these craft. There would be absolutely no need for MILABS, if it weren't for the fact that alien abductions ARE DEFINIETLY occurring! Again, totally contrary to what Greer states in his lectures.

I tend to steer away from any researcher who claims to have THE answer to a hugely complex phenomenon -- this is not an 'either' 'or' scenario. To me, it's like peeling away the onion layer -- and the onion layer as it pertains to the abduction scenario goes on and on and on...

This is why I have issues with some of what Greer says. JMHO, though...[/SIZE]
