A practitioner asks: “Was my brother’s experience of being in bed and having his mind being scanned and transported somewhere else for a time, an ET-related manipulation?”

Unfortunately, that is in fact, the case. He was in a hypnagogic state, as you saw intuitively, and this enabled him to be aware enough it was happening that it could be taken into memory and recalled. The fact that it was shocking to him, in effect woke him fully, and that provided the bridge to conscious awareness and noting the unusual nature of what had just happened. As you know, this is something done routinely for many, many, people. It is how they size you up, how they figure you out, how they keep a finger on the pulse, so to speak, of human culture because it helps them to understand many complex situations and the human responses and intentions in order to stay one step ahead. Through such learning about how people think and act, they can anticipate much better what people will do when intervening to manipulate them all the more effectively. So this is nothing to fear. It is just an annoying and disappointing reminder of who is truly in charge of your world, at least for the present.
