Hey buddy At one time I believed in santa claus and the tooth fairy but I grew out of it. I just find it hard to believe in something that so far has proven not to exist but in the minds of others.

Actually it does. Until there is absolute proof, they will be creatures of fantasy.

Well, this thread makes a lot of things clearer now
Mr/Ms Green....I find your communication skills a little lacking and perplexing, maybe if you have a spare minute you could enlighten me on what all the more recent 'drama' was about??

[edit on 20-4-2009 by Mr Green]
We are all aware, in England, of the objection to the colour 'green' in certain cases. It is the spirit-colour, a magic colour, the colour of the 'fairies', as the cabalistic, tutelary, miniature spirits are called, who are supposed to be very jealous of it's use.
In Ireland, green, is universally regarded with distrust; but with veneration, in the spiritual sense. It is the national colour; for the Patroness of Ireland is the female deity, the Mother of Nature, known in the classic mythology as Venus--equally Venus the graceful and Venus the terrible, as the Goddess of Life and of Death.
The various verts, or greens, are the 'colour-rulers' in the emblazonry of the Emerald Isle. The presiding deity of the Land of Ierna, or of Ireland, is the mythic 'Woman', born out of the fecundity of nature, or out of the 'Great Deep'. This is the genius (with certain sinister, terrible aspects, marked out grandly in the old forms) 'who is 'impaled' or 'crucified'--in its real, hidden meaning--upon the stock, of 'Tree of Life', indicated by the Irish Harp.

Kind of hard to have people who have the same experiences. Most of us are normal and are not prone to fantasy.
No it is not, not even close to simple. What is simple is your pandering to stereotypes and your immature assertions.

Simple really.
People live within a construct of their own reality that would differ from every other view of that very reality. The whole planet is prone to fantasy. Look at G*D, astrology, spiritualism, supernatural beliefs, afterlife, ODE, NDE, telekenesis, clairvoyance, mediums!!!. The fact that fantasy is a factor in humans does not imply abduction experiences are fantasy. It just means that we are applying fantasy as cause. That is your problem and not abductees. What is fantasy anyway? People walk around in various states of "normal" all day.
It is a state of being where "normal" people do not get so involved in thier fantasies that they then become real to them...ie abductions and contactees.
False. People look for explanations, Psychology is one possible explanation. Those individuals who do not accept psychology as an explanation accept ET as a possible explanation. Psychology itself admits this openly.
It has been proven time and time again that these experiences are not real.
So what if Psychology has labled aspects of abduction experiences, does lable infer a fact. Please, psychology is in its infancy interms of this topic and in general is not an exact science at all. Although I have great respect for the field it is not difinitive, just more accepted at the moment. In some cases Individuals make claims, not in every case. This only shows that particular cases maybe false. Just because a result from an experience does not see fruition does not mena no experience happened. I have looked at this topic in depth, I approach this topic from extreme scepticism and find your attitude appalling, your knowledge lacking and your ignorance astounding.
Psychology studied it and have given terms to it and also contactee always make some type of predictions that never come true, proving that they are in fact a product of thier imagination.
False. Some cases start this way, Lucid dreams are suggested to play a part. What about multiple abductions, there is rarely consistency in Lucid dreams on a specific subject unless individuals specifically prepare for these as part of meditation, or attempts at astral projections. In most cases individuals who believe that they are abducted do not report this behaviour yet that have multiple episodes all the same if not significantly similar. This is why the subject is studued, if it was simply lucid dreaming there would be no interest.
As for abductions, they start off as a dream of sorts , a very lucid dream.
Wrong. Once again I can only consider your ignorance to be the source of your own "fantasy" of what the atypical abductee is. I suggest instead of looking through the keyhole of your prejudice, you open the door to knowledge and look at the bigger picture. Abductees are CEO's, Family people, university students, construction workers, farmers etc etc. They come from all walks of life, socio-economic groups, all levels of education from many different countries.
Some just shrug it off but then there are those who aare lonely and miserable in thier life and embrace this delusion, because it means that to someone they are special. Abductees/contactees refuse to look at evidence that contradicts them because it would take that fantasy away and then they would have to go back to thier dull lives.
Care to link your sources, the research and the studies that support this.
Family abductions are phenomenon that is easily explained. It only takes one person of that family to make a claim then the family then begin to have similiar experiences.
They do this either because they too want this too or they just want to make that person in thier family feel like they are not crazyand then the subconscience kicks in.
