You are still telling people elsewhere that I booted you from
the UFO echo. How about producing the post that this happy event
took place? You have been reminded that you have received nothing
more than a warning, yet you insist I have suspended you. When
this does happen, your sysop will get netmail which will remove
your write access to UFO. Please produce either a copy of this
netmail, or even a message from me or Roger stating your welcome
has been removed. Otherwise, stop your blatant lies.

Dear Ron,
I have quoted the entire message text here, so that there will not be any
loss of the texture of what you are saying.
I really don't see any distinction or comparison between witch hunts and
UFO sightings.
Based on my own personal encounter, I can assure you that there was no
paranoia, or terror involved. I am am sure that based on reports of
reputable personages down through the years, that these feelings were
not evident. It is a natural assumption that things that go bump in
the night can be tied in somehow with UFO's and extra-terrestrials.
I beleive that this is a completely false assertion, and if there is
any real evidence that this is the case then I would be intereested in
seeing it. The occult and UFO sightings are two completely different
things. Being somewhat of an "expert" on occult matters, after many
years of personal investigation, I fail to see any connection between
extra-terrestrial visitors and the occult experience.
That those disembodied spirits from the astral might have a better
insight than what we claim to have at this present stage, is not an
unlikely possibility as far as I personally beleive.
Everyone is welcome to their own opinions, until more substantial evidence
is offered, however.

Write your reply.

assistant: Dear Jim;
I beleive that "demonic possession" and UFO sightings, are two completely
different things. Having knowledge of the occult, I'm very familiar with
the things that you have mentioned here regarding "incubus assault", and
I can assure you that there is no connection between such an occult-type
experience and UFO visitations.
The utterance of prayers, are probably enforcing you and they should be
continued if you feel that they are helping you. I have personally been
through such experiences in my personal investigations of the occult and
all I can say is that one treads on possibly dangerous ground. By
"dangerous ground" I mean that one could be swept up with the experience
and allow it to get out-of-hand in certain ways. If you don't allow it
to affect you, then you can remain in control of it, and that is the
important thing. The same thing goes for UFO research and investigation.
One must try to keep an open and honest mind about the entire matter.
Otherwise one could become unfortunately ensnarled in many dissallusions.
The "incubus assaults" are only possible if a "portal" is left open.
If this "portal" is made available then it allows the spirit to enter
into your plane of existence.Just form the image in your mind that all
the possible portals are now closed and locked, and that should do it.
Then you can get on with some serious research and investigation into UFO
matters!:-)

James

LONDON (December 18, 1997 11:12 a.m. EST http://www.nando.net) - The
Earth's destiny really is written in the stars, according to new
research released Wednesday, but that doesn't mean scientists have now
given their backing to astrology.
Scientists have discovered the earth's orbit can be influenced by the
way geophysical processes deep within its crust interact with the solar
system's movement.
Features of the Earth's orbit, such as the rotation of the poles and
changes in the tilt of its axis, may be influenced by factors such as
the way the crust is affected by the melting of continental ice sheets.
At the same time, changes in the Earth's orbit affect the amount of sun
that falls on the Earth, according to Alessandro Forte of the Institut
de Physique du Globe in Paris and Jerry Mitrovica of Canada's
University of Toronto.
Geophysical processes can alter the earth's orbit and this, in turn,
can affect the long-term climate, the researchers wrote in the
scientific journal  Nature.
Their investigations suggested the Earth had, at some period in the
last 20 million years, passed through the gravitational influence of
the planets Jupiter and Saturn and this influenced the way the earth's
tilt changed during that time.
The scientists' work will allow them to look at what the Earth's
climate was like and how it might turn out.=20

Hey Bob,
Yeah, it is very different. One major difference is, they didn't
land on the Whitehouse lawn as everyone expected. Why do you
think you're hearing about this from a nobody like me. They are
introducing themselves to the people (directly) one at a time.
Not to say they haven't contacted our leaders. (If Bubba and
Hillary haven't been 'tagged' yet I'd consider the aliens remiss
in their duties.) But they -have gone- directly to the people.
And, unlike the Catholic Priests, about all they've done so far
is shove things in our noses and keesters and scare the living
daylights out of a few citizens. Although I'm not too choked up
about that either, it beats the hell out of genocide and the
death of our entire culture I'd say. <G>
BTW, kids who are not educated about predators are easy prey!

year. Good things are worth waiting for! I am sure Mr. King will
debate the issues with you on Bama. It should make for good debating

Haven't seen anything new from ACC as the chatter of late is about a
patent they are after and replies from others about some numbers ACC
is putting out that are questionable. I'll keep an eye out for the
Roswell related stuff.

   I understand what your saying,this only happenened during my late
teens and at a point that i now remember when i read a very detailed
Aliestar Crowley book,with magical drawings,etc,also the
Necronomicon,Satanic Bible but i read these only as curio's so could the
"portal" have been opened by them?
      I remember always having enough willpower to completely repel the
spirit and even at the begening of the assault when i had the mental
choice to recieve a message or not.I knew if i heard its voice that was
the end so all three times this happenned i managed to resist.
  I know some disilliousinment came from this though mabey as i seem to
feel trapped in this world and feel my true home is an "alternate earth"
or an "mirror earth" that is very simular to this Earth but very
magical,pagan and is completely alternate and surreal.
