So evidently the "ET" rationale is "let's just scare them so badly they'll be scarred for life!" Yeah, that'll teach 'em.
I've never suggested either, unless you are equating human hypnosis with "ET" mind implants. "Sleeper" has already stated that he has no way of knowing what he is relating is actual experience or a false memory.
Perhaps you missed one of my earlier posts where I quoted at length from the book. There wasn't a "link".
Perhaps you should read my quotes from the book again. Or Sleeper's blog. "Free will", "personal rights", etc. are "illusions". At least according to "Milton". Not just "Sleeper's" free will and rights, but everyone's. As heavily as you seem to be into Sleeper's story I'm surprised you missed that.

Do you believe that you have a soul? That's where 'd start. Isn't it where ET starts also? I think so.
Yes, I think sleeper would probably agree that he doesn't know if his memories are implanted. What does it matter?
Isn't it hopeful to believe that goodness pays dividends in the eyes of any persons beyond Earth?
Since you just joined, I would ask you to refrain from saying what I am or am not.
As I have said, just because his own free will is perhaps modified (not saying it is because there might be other lessons he needs to learn, even despite his "contact") doesn't make a difference in what ET will allow him to say.
Yes, I am happy to accept that 50% of his stuff is crap but I do not believe he would know this.

Yes, I certainly believe we have a soul; however, I don't need an "alien" to tell me that. When somebody [edited morailty tale]
It doesn't if you're simply looking for enjoyable words to read. Someone looking for truth would probably want something a little more reliabe than a memory implant from an alien.
I'm not here to please "ET".
I'm not sure how that relates to my post that you replied to. I was making the point in regards everyone's free will, not Sleeper's specifically. And that point is that according to Sleeper's "ET", NONE of us have free will or personal rights. "Mike" was ridiculed by the "ET" for thinking otherwise.

Sleeper, can you give incite as to Milton' s mode of communication?
Is is it given to you as instantanios knowledge, verbal sentences, mental pictures, or subconscious feelings-- morning memories, , or...?
BTW, I have had many "salt mine" night work shift mornings..LOL

1) Why are the aliens so secretive? Why not just come out and say "We're here, tell Lear. Get over it!" Why do they need to be so knife and dagger, and thus breed conspiracy theories on their existence?
2) Is there any chance the Earth is in danger of coming under attack from hostile entities? If so, wouldn't disclosure be the best course of action. I think an alien battleship appearing over Sydney would cause more panic if we had found out that aliens did exist AND we are about to be destroyed.
3) Do you have any physical evidence of your travels? Before something can become a fact, it must first be able to be seen and comprehended, then replicatable, and finally it is fact.

So you believe in the soul, but you don't like it when people make money by talking about it in such a way that's appealing?
No, I think someone looking for truth would look inside themselves, where the soul is.
Nobody says his memory is an implant, it is you who wish it so. Why does it matter so much to you?
What makes you think we don't have free will?
Yes, even you had a purpose for incarnating here on Earth and if someone comes out and shows you high magic, your very person will be altered.
Do you really expect ET to show themsleves and if not do you really plan to act like ET doesn't exist? To me both positions are not reasonable.

I didn't say that and I think you know that. The fact that "Sleeper's" "ET" believes in a soul means little to me. To paraphrase Christ, even the devil believes in God. That "common ground" or "starting point" hardly makes the devil a source for truth. Would you eat a worm? Probably not on purpose, but you might unwittingly if there's a nice big, juicy apple around it.
It is Sleeper making the claim that he experience these things, but then adds that aliens can implant any memory they wish. If you can't see the conundrum that creates, there's probably little else I can say.
It is "Sleeper's" "ET" that says "free will" and "personal rights" are an illusion. I disagree with that. I don't know how to make that any clearer.
"High magic"? Sorry, I don't need "signs and wonders" and it certainly wouldn't "alter my very person". Who's being the presumptive one now?
"ET" will probably appear when it suits their purpose if they are allowed to, and nowhere did I say that "ET" doesn't exist.

These are my last questions/posts for a while! Could you please answer them.
1.What is the nature of the Buddhas/What do you know about them/How do they come around?
2. Nibana or Nirvana are words that descry the exit from the dimensional hierarchy/the cycle of rebirth that as you describe is forever. Do you know any aliens that strive to leave the whole game?
3. Is the cycle of rebirth just a stellar power trip on behalf of “gods” who reside in the highest realm, who live for billions of years and are afraid to give up their ultimate bliss or what?
4. If these aliens aren’t concerned with leaving the cycle of rebirth, if it is their job to keep it running smoothly, WHY?
Throughout history Shamans have seen aliens too, they laugh when aliens tell them there in control of the planet. Gnostics believe in the Archons (aliens) who tell humans who have died that they are in control of the planet and that they must go with them, but Gnostic teachings promulgate that it’s a facade and if you want to move on, you have to see past their half-truths.
. It is the norm to justify counterproductive actions; most counterproductive people convince themselves they are being productive.
]5. Are they really as powerful as you say or is it a way of manipulating the collective consciousness to empower them even more?
Do you really think monks in the Himalayas need permission from a race of aliens in order to explore reality, it would be spiritual authoritarianism!
Thank You!

I can't be bothered to get into whole arguments over whether you're lying or not, because frankly I'm sleepy.
So i'm content if you just answer my questions.
Night, night ATS!
This has got to be the classic of all posts to sleeper I have seen in all 185 pages of sleeper's thread.

That's the problem, there is no proof, nothing definitive as yet, debatable.
Possible evidence is all we have.
