Thank God Jesus is my Way, my Truth and my Light, and his way doesn't require Anal probes.

Well the "Common Sense" of the DSM IV is trying to tell you to get abducted by aliens or boiled in a kettle.

I am trying to tell you to accept Jesus Christ As lord and saviour instead.

The clinical approach developed at PEER involves being able to tolerate not knowing about the reality status of the experience, while paying attention to the feelings and struggles of the person involved. PEER also uses a combination of hypnosis and a breathing technique as treatment in helping the abductees confront and move through the terrifying memories of the experiences.

Therapists also need to be sensitive to and acknowledge the growth potential in such extraordinary experiences. That speaks to the need to avoid judging the reported phenomena by the standards of normal awareness; rather, therapists should consider whether this unusual experience points to new possibilities for the client that are alternatives to or even superior to their prior functioning. As with other forms of spiritual emergency, therapy with alien abductees involves the integration of spiritual issues raised by the experience. The therapist's role is helping experients learn

what meaning these experiences have for them, and in what reality they hold the experiences. We are very clear in our work with them that we can never say for certain what these experiences are. This is a mystery. But they need to integrate and understand how to bring their experiences into their world.

PEER operates a clinic in the Boston area for both treatment and research. Clients are allowed to return as often as needed to integrate their experiences and obtain suppport while living in a society that does not recognize the vast new realms of the psyche to which they have been opened.

How did you meet God while in a Coma? I met him in 2000. God is not human decent nor is he in spirit mode either. When YOU meet God you will know it! I can describe him, and if I can get hypnosis I can give the cure to AIDS, for I asked that question.
