Meanwhile innocent people continue to suffer unspeakable horrors at the hands of alien and human scientists who are engaged in barbarous research that would make even the Nazis look like sunday school children. As if that is not enough many people end up as food for the insatiable alien appetite for biological enzymes, glandular hormonal secretions, and blood. Many people are abducted and are sentenced to live with psychological and physical damage for the rest of their lives.....

More specifically, hypnagogic/hypnopompic imagery has been associated with reports of extrasensory perception (ESP), apparitions and communication with the dead, out-of-the-body experiences (OBEs), visions of past lives and experiences involving extraterrestrials (e.g., Glicksohn, 1989; Gurney, Myers, & Podmore, 1886; Leaning, 1925; McCreery, 1993; McKellar, 1957; Mavromatis, 1983, 1987; Spanos, Cross, Dickson, & DuBreuil, 1993.
Rose et al. (1997) found that sleep paralysis has been associated with reports of a number of anomalous experiences, such as ESP, PK, OBEs, NDES, apparitions, past life experiences, and extraterrestrials. It is possible that anomalous experiences and sleep paralysis episodes might be related to each other because they might both be affected by a third variable such as the earth’s geomagnetic field. A number of studies have found that subjective (e.g., Persinger, 1985) and experimental GESP experiences (Berger & Persinger, 1991) and sleep paralysis (Conesa, 1995, 1997) tend to occur when geomagnetic activity is relatively low.
If the hypnagogic state is conducive to anomalous processes perhaps this could be due to the initial increase in alpha or the later increase in theta activity (Healy, 1986) which occurs during this period (e.g., Davis, Davis, Loomis, Harvey, & Hobart, 1938; Baddia et al., 1994). Experienced meditators have also been found to show the alpha-theta progression which characterises the transition through the hypnagogic state towards sleep (Mavromatis, 1987). Meditation has been associated with reports of a variety of anomalous experiences (Eysenck & Sargent, 1993).
It has been suggested that it is not so much altered states per se which are psi-conducive but the degree or the rapidity of the transition from one state to another (e.g., Murphy, 1966; Honorton, 1973; Honorton, Davidson, & Bindler, 1971; all cited by Parker, 1975).

No, it is not far fetched.
What do they say, "spot on"?

Have you considered that your experimental state may not solely rest in theta? Or perhaps it is experienced there, but is brought upon by the speed of flux?

Thank you and the powers you have spoken for for that validation.

To switch subjects here, I would like to address the human element. I perceive it as a value, and universal. So within any and all beings there is compassion, the good, the true, and the beautiful, but sometimes it is suppressed and it takes a mighty blow to bring it out. Take for example when Perseus cut off Medusa's head her blood gave birth to Pegasus, a creature of purity, beauty, and goodness. There it is.
