CI-VI: Close Encounters of the Possession Kind, by William J. Baldwin,
Ph.D.
Excerpt from Chapter One:
Possession and the Extraterrestrials Among Us
Spirit Possession
The possibility of spirit possession, that is, full or partial takeover of a living
human by a discarnate or non-physical being, has been recognized, or at least theorized,
in every time and in nearly every culture. It seems that a disembodied consciousness, a
spirit, a soul, an entity, can join or attach itself and merge fully or partially with the
subconscious mind of a living person, exerting some degree of control on the mental
functions, emotions, and behavior. An attached entity can produce sensations and symptoms
in the physical body of the unsuspecting host.
 People around the world have described these possessing
entities as gods, demons, deities, ancestors, spirit guides, healing spirits of some sort,
great teachers, and, more recently, travelers and teachers from other star systems such as
the Pleiades, Arcturus, Orion, Andromeda, Lyra, Vega, or Sirius. Spirit possession is an
ancient yet enduring concept, largely denied and ignored by the clergy and mental health
professionals in our materialistic Western society. In recent years, however, a growing
number of open-minded therapists have begun to notice the condition and accept the
possibility of non-physical consciousness and its effects on living people.
In clinical psychotherapy sessions, clients describe
conflicts, problems, and areas of discomfort in their lives. As they describe painful and
unpleasant situations, emotions usually emerge such as anger and frustration, guilt and
remorse, even sadness and tears. They usually begin to feel these emotions as sensations
in the physical body: nausea, a flush of heat or cold, tightness or tension in muscles, or
headache. The descriptions of the problem are often metaphorical phrases, such as:
"This makes me sick," or "He’s such a pain in the neck," or
"It feels like I’m being stabbed in the back," or "It feels like I
have a tight band around my head."
The client is guided to locate the source of these feelings,
both emotional feelings and body sensations, and to recall the first time they felt this
way. They are urged to repeat the phrases. They are directed to focus inward and describe
what they see, feel, hear. These suggestions will lead the person into the heart of the
problem, the source of the present life conflict, usually a traumatic event, often in a
past life setting. If it is a past life of the client, then past life therapy will help
ease the problem. However, it may be an attached entity which is causing the problem.
There are methods of differentiating between a client’s earlier traumatic recall and
the memories of an attached entity. There are specific techniques for releasing the
different types of attached entities.
Earthbound spirits, or EBs, the surviving consciousness of
deceased humans, are the most commonly discovered possessing, obsessing, or attaching
entities. The emotions and feelings connected with a sudden, traumatic death can hold a
spirit to the earth level, usually in the environment in which the person lived and died.
Anger, fear, jealousy, resentment, guilt, remorse, even strong ties of love, can interfere
with the normal transition into the Light. The grief of the survivors can hold their loved
ones earthbound after the death of the physical body. The newly deceased spirits follow
and sometimes cling to living humans.
In session the client often discovers a different type of
non-physical influence: a dark, arrogant, hostile, malevolent, disruptive, destructive
entity which claims to be a follower of Lucifer, The Dark One, The Evil One, The Great
One, or some other similar name. It claims it has never been alive in its own human body.
This description conforms to the classic portrayal of demons in the literature of
Christianity and other religions. These we have termed dark force entities, or DFEs.
Another form of non-physical entity we often discover with our
clients is the alien, the extraterrestrial, or ET, a conscious, sentient being. Typically,
they have never been human, though a few claim former incarnations in a human body on
earth. This is not the spirit of a deceased alien; their normal form seems to be
non-physical. They are neither hostile nor belligerent, disruptive nor destructive as the
DFEs are. Many claim that they come to gather information. Others conduct experiments on
humans by influencing emotions in some way and monitoring the results. Some claim to be
here to assist human earth citizens in their spiritual evolution, perhaps even to help our
people through the long-predicted catastrophic earth changes.
Some of them are further advanced technologically than humans,
some more enlightened in their spiritual evolution. However, most of these aliens who
dialogue through the voices of clients are not spiritually aware in the least. As
time/space/dimension travelers, they are operating in their own self interest, without
regard for the inhabitants of whatever planet they are exploring and exploiting, and this
can wreak havoc with the citizens of earth.
A very few of these intruders claim that they infiltrate
living humans in order to gather scientific data or other information and they have no
intention of interfering. They apologize and withdraw when we explain the situation. Other
ET "scientists" refuse to leave, refuse to talk with us, and consider humans to
be nothing more than lab rats to be used in their experiments. This indicates DFE control
of the ET, and reveals the more sinister purpose for their presence.
Still others arrogantly proclaim they are here to conquer
humanity and take over the planet for their own use and there is nothing anyone can do
about it. This element of power and control over others signals the influence of the DFEs.
In these cases, the ETs themselves are controlled, even possessed, by the demonic beings.
There is no real time table for such takeover, and some of these aliens assert they have
been with their human host for numerous lifetimes.
Some of the UFOs and alien beings can be perceived in the
physical form, yet can shift vibration and become non-physical, apparently at will, hence
invisible to human eyes as well as radar. They can affect humans in a dreadful variety of
ways.
Carla and Her ET Brother
Carla was sobbing. She could barely speak through her tears. She was deeply moved as
she witnessed the release of an earthbound spirit from an older man in the group who had
volunteered to be the subject of the demonstration. In this case, the entity was the
spirit of a deceased child who had been with the man since his early married years. It had
wanted to be born to this couple. There were very few dry eyes in the place as the little
spirit said farewell to its would-have-been parents and moved into the Light.
Carla was crying so hard she could not see to walk out of the
building and drive home. This is not an unusual reaction after observing an intense spirit
releasement session. I offered to help her explore the source of the tears and grief she
was feeling. I suspected an entity. Her tears finally subsided and an attached entity was
able to speak through Carla’s voice. It claimed to be her brother in another
existence on another planet in a different solar system. He followed her to this system
when she chose to come to the planet Earth. He did not want to endure the whole process of
becoming a human in his own body as she had done. He had bypassed that step. Now he wanted
her to withdraw so he could live through her body, or at least move aside so he could take
over.
With very little explanation he realized the harm he was doing
to his sister, whom he loved yet wanted to dominate in this chauvinistic manner. As he
recounted their life on their home planet in a distant space and time, Carla also recalled
the love they had shared there and began to weep again, this time for the joy of that
memory and the sadness over the loss. This was, in effect, a dual past life regression,
both beings remembering the same prior existence.
He agreed to go and she agreed to release him, though the
attraction of love was strong between them. More than a year later, she was thrilled to
report major changes in her life as the result of the release of her ET brother.
An Alien Probe
Janet was an intuitive healer, quite adept in her work and in her life. In session she
discovered a probe in her third chakra, the solar plexus. She described a thin black cord
which, in her perception, led upward through two dimensions. It was connected to a
laboratory on a spacecraft. As Janet visualized the location, I called out to the one in
charge of the lab. Janet described a sort of humanoid form which actually responded to my
questions. She was able to repeat its words. This remote communication link, this type of
channeling, has produced some fascinating results over the years.
Yes, this alien scientist acknowledged, there was a probe
inserted at the level of her solar plexus. It was for the purpose of gathering information
on the members of the human species.
Dr. Baldwin: "How many such members of the human race have you treated in this
way?"
Janet: "About 3,000."
Dr. B.: "This is a violation of an intelligent species. You have no right to
interfere in this way."
J.: "We did not know we were interfering."
Being an avid Star Trek fan, I borrowed from the concepts of the popular TV series. It
seemed to work.
Dr. B.: "Cross connect us with your headquarters. We want to speak with your High
Command."
A few moments passed and Janet straightened in the recliner.
Her voice took on a different tone; her manner was almost imperious.
High Command through Janet: "Yes, what is it you want?"
Dr. B.: "Your scientists have placed probes in 3,000 human beings without
consent."
H.C.: "Yes. They are gathering data."
Again I borrowed from Star Trek, specifically the notion of the "Prime
Directive."
Dr. B.: "You are gathering data from unwilling subjects. Aren’t you aware of
the Prime Directive of non-interference? There is to be no interference with another
sentient species."
H.C.: "Yes, we are aware. We did not mean to interfere, only to gather data."
Dr. B.: "We are a sentient species. We protest this violation of the Prime
Directive."
H.C.: "What would you like us to do?"
Dr. B.: "We request that you withdraw your probes from every human being on this
planet."
This was a request, not a demand. I had nothing to enforce
such a demand. There was some hesitation, as if there was a discussion being carried on in
the background.
My skeptical mind asks: If any of this is true, why do they
talk to me and why would they be willing to do what I ask? These questions are always with
me in altered state sessions. My skepticism remains alive and well.
H.C.: "We will withdraw the probes. We have gathered enough information." Dr.
B.: "Thank you."
H.C.: "You are welcome. Good-bye."
Dr. B.: "Good-bye."
The commander was already gone. The alien scientist apologized
and gathered his equipment, the probe, everything else of his and completed whatever tasks
remained. Soon, he was also gone.
Janet came out of the altered state as bewildered as I. Were
these images valid? Was this nothing more than imagination? Are humans perceived by more
highly developed beings as nothing more than biological units, subjects to be randomly
probed, examined, and tested, much like lab animals used by earth scientists? Am I
implanting these notions? I don’t think so; this was my first encounter with such a
situation, and I had no such notions.
Many hundreds of clients have since experienced and described
such intrusion with probes, implants, and devices for testing, controlling, and
monitoring. As a therapist, I must work with whatever information emerges from the client
as if it were real. At some level of consciousness, it is real for the client.
What’s really going on here? Did we come from the stars?
Are we about to go back there again? Can we really talk with aliens through the channeling
abilities of people in an altered state of consciousness? Why do they listen? Why do they
bother to do what we, as therapists, request? But I’m getting ahead of myself.
Let’s back up and begin at the beginning: the experience of birth.
