Hope

By Elsie Conner

It is about hope. Hope for someone who is experiencing alien abductions. I read a journal entry from someone I knew from years ago who makes the comment or assertion in the form of a question and asks, "Don’t you think this is all benign in the end?" The other comment from another person was given after I had recounted a rather lengthy episode, "Deception! It was deception."

Both of these comments are from the opposite ends of the belief spectrum about abductions. One is the attitude that alien abductions are spiritual and nothing bad ever happens to you. The other attitude is alien abductions are evil and the phenomenon is all to be mistrusted.

Both of these comments left me coldly frustrated and I had felt like I had been punched in the stomach.

Both of these belief systems take hope away from me as a person dealing with this unknown that we know as alien abductions.

If you assert this is all spiritual and benign, then you invalidate and remove any hope of my attempts that I make to try and heal from my physical and mental traumas I have endured since I was a child.

If you assert this is all demonic or deceptive and nothing can be trusted or learned from, then you take away all my hope that I have experienced a truly astonishing and personally elevating event.

Why do people want to remove hope? What do we have without it? I work hard to retain my hope since it is not an easy thing to keep within the cold blackness of space.

Elsie Conner's Biography

My name is Elsie. I am a married and I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering. My interests are writing, reading, drawing, painting, science and nature, and I also play the guitar. I am a cat lover, but I love all kinds of animals. I hope to volunteer at a horse farm someday.

The alien phenomenon has deeply affected my life. The reality has been difficult to handle at times, but it has helped me to write about it and draw the things I have seen over the years. I always recommend to other abductees to keep a journal if they can. It will really help you learn about the Beings themselves, but you will also learn a lot about yourself.  Keeping a journal also helps if you don’t have a lot of support in terms of family or friends.
