!!! I didn't know that Keith co-authored this book.  Keith is a close acquaintance of mine.  To be honest, seeing his name on there lends the work more credibility IMO than Lyssa's alone.

Re: Everything You've Been Told About the "Grays" is Bunk

I was going through the hardcopy and taking notes, then about 20 pages into it realized the book demanded so much commenting that an annotated PDF would be necessary to keep everything organized. That's one reason it was scanned sooner than later. It's a goldmine for analysis. I'll share my annotated copy when finished.

But I'm glad you find this useful, Jen. The copy and paste function from Acrobat works ok, and the find function is probably the best advantage of ebooks. Plus now people can decide for themselves what to think.

From what I read so far, this book is incredibly polarizing. It gives ammunition and reinforcement to both sides of the debate, paradoxical as that sounds. If this foreshadows the slickness that aliens will use upon "first contact", then considering how easily people have fallen for scientology, raelianism, mormonism, religious fundamentalism... the hoodwinking of humanity is certain.

Re: Everything You've Been Told About the "Grays" is Bunk

....It was so saturated with disinformation I couldn't even read with a detached perspective.  The book is absolutely MADDENING.  I can't believe people BELIEVE this stuff!!!!   dahhhH!!!  So I for one can't wait to see the PDF version with the attached comments!!   Look forward to it...

Re: Everything You've Been Told About the "Grays" is Bunk

montalk and lyra, look forward to your specific objections to the book (rather than whoesale dismissal), should make for some interesting discussion cool

As far as its "giving ammunition to both sides", I would say that on the contrary, it seeks to move beyond the whole black and white, "us and them" mindset. 

Even using the word "alien" is polarizing in itself...

Coolness!  Maybe you couild let him know about this discussion, he might find it of interest. Wouldn't it be great if he could join in here?? big_smile

Jen, allow me to respond as devil's advocate here.   

By the same logic, even using the word "burglar" is polarizing.  After all, we're all part of infinite oneness.  The fact that it's 2 AM and some strange guy with a gun and a sack is currently rummaging through your underwear drawer is nothing to be alarmed about.  Infinite love is the only truth, everything else is illusion.  It's actually probably not a burglar, anyway, it's probably just another version of yourself -- your shadow, perhaps, and it happens to be there stealing your jewelry to help you work out unresolved soul-issues from a past life.  Just visualize white light, project feelings of love, and everything will be fine.

Maybe that's all true on a higher level, who knows.  But in the here-and-now of things I wouldn't be inviting the guy to sit down for a cup of tea before he leaves.

Re: Everything You've Been Told About the "Grays" is Bunk

morningsun, if anyone is playing devil's advocate here, I think it is me.  A devil's advocate is one who argues the less popular point of view.  I think it's clear by now that my take on the Zetas is the less popular one smile

But in the here-and-now of things I wouldn't be inviting the guy to sit down for a cup of tea before he leaves.

Nor would I, but I read a very interesting account, widely publicized, last year--wish I could remember the names etc.--about a woman who encountered an intruder in her home, who had just killed his girlfriend I think.  She kept her head, talked to him as one regular person to another regular person,  let him stay overnight, made him breakfast in the morning (one detail I remember clearly:  he was overwhelmed that there was real maple syrup with the pancakes!) and he then submitted to being arrested.  People were incredulous and the woman was the heroine of the hour.

It may be significant that she was on a spiritual path, and shared with the guy some concepts from a spiritual book she was reading (wish I could remember which one it was).

I actually don't feel the analogy you imply with the Zetas is accurate, just wanted to share that story.

Actually, I don't have a "wholesale dismissal" of the book, I have specific things I can cite.  And now I'm thinking I might like to do the annoted comments version of it as well.  I've enjoyed reading Montalk's comments that he's completed so far on the book, but I have my own that I'd like to add, so maybe I'll do my own version.   Normally I wouldn't comb through a book and make annotations, but being that it's already been scanned into PDF format.....AND it's such an important disinformation topic, AND this Lyssa author has such a huge following, I think it needs to be done.   The book is disinformation from beginning to end, so skewed.  What specifically scares me more than ANYTHING else that I've seen in the book is that she gives tips and advise for parents for how to navigate through their kids' abductions.

Not to be all dramatic, but, to me, that's akin to child abuse.   Half the reason I'm not having kids is so the buck stops here in terms of abductions.   And here's this woman PROMOTING the idea of having your kids abducted by aliens?   dahh!  Can we say, "CRAZY" ?    Yeah.   So, I think I'm going to do my own annoted version, just for kicks.   The more comments about this book that are out there, the better.

That's awesome morningsun76, I love it.  smile  Could you possibly have combined any MORE of the New Age beliefs all in one paragraph?   hehe

You're talking about the Atlanta shootings here, if I'm not mistaken.  The guy in question killed a judge and several others while escaping custody, car jacked a guy, then forced his way into the woman's apartment.   Then yeah, she shared spiritual things with him.....but she also shared her stash of crystal meth with him too, something that she only just recently divulged.  But that's how she actually bonded with the guy.   It wasn't the spiritual stuff.   He asked her if she had coke or crack, but "all" she had on her was her meth stash.   And after she divulged that tidbit which she originally left out of the widely publicized heroine story, the cops were left going hmm ... she didn't tell us that when we questioned her.  hmm  hmm.   

Maybe this is the first time that meth has actually *saved* a life?  haha I don't know.  big_smile   tongue 

Point being, things are never as they initially appear to be.   That's why I take it all with a grain of salt now when it comes to big dramatic news stories played for emotional manipulation, especially something like a "heroine of the hour", as you termed it.   In the end we're all just human, but the media amps everything up.   Reminds me of the Jessica whatever girl from Iraq.   The one that was rescued, and the military played it all up to amp up patriotism....then she went on television admitting it was all a lie, and it didn't happen the way they portrayed it at all.

Re: Everything You've Been Told About the "Grays" is Bunk

OK so I read a bit of this book, and wanted to share a few initial comments.

First of all, from personal experience with Lyssa, and more so Keith, I can say that these are two people who genuinely want to help people and be of service.

I didn't realize that the book itself was channeled.  It must be rather old then, because as far as I'm aware Lyssa has given up channeling.  I don't know exactly why, but I will say that she is not the only person I know of that has given it up recently.

The problem with channeling is that people seem to want to give more credence to channeled material then, let's say, a conversation with somebody on the street.  I think this stems from that pesky idea that not having a physical body somehow confers a greater degree of spiritual authority on a person. 

Always consider the source.  Let's take Dubya for example.  I have always been struck by his sense of righteousness.  He truly believes he is doing the right thing.  He truly believes that he is justified in his actions.

Now.  What if Dubya got on television and proclaimed that the FACT that American soldiers have been killing innocent civilians in Iraq is PROOF that they, on some level, agreed to be killed?  How do you think that would go over?

The Zetas seem to be offering the same explanation.  Can I compassionately sympathize with their plight?  Yes I can.  Do I agree that abduction is the solution?  No, I don't.  And if a couple of Zetas materialized in my bedroom today I might have a conversation with them about that and see if we can come up with a better solution.

Consider the prophecies put forth on Zetatalk.  Assuming that they came from the same source AND knowing that so many of them have not come true AND knowing that the Zetas seem to have made some rather drastic and questionable choices in their past, then I don't believe that they have earned my trust, and I will continue to be very skeptical about what they say.

To the degree that this all plays into the STS/STO debate, keep in mind that in 3D and up to 5D, the STS agenda is not an open and conscious rebellion against the Will of God.  People don't sit around and have meetings where they discuss what evil they can bring into the world.  They control and manipulate because they believe that people need to be controlled and manipulated for their own good.

The other element that comes into play here is the idea of soul contracts.  Do they exist?  I am inclined to say that they do.  What I have a problem with is when new-agers use the concept of soul contracts to become complacent to events that are disheartening and/or downright destructive in their lives.  Why did Uncle Bob repeatedly rape little Timmy?  Oh, I see, it was a "soul contract".  That makes it all better then.  Let's get back to lovin' and lightin'.

There must be a point in evolution where we can choose to become aware of these contracts, and can choose to fulfill them consciously. 

Last night I had a conversation with a friend where I was lamenting about the fact that I repeatedly draw romantic relationships into my life that turn out to be severely distressing.  Do I know that I was 'supposed' to meet these people?   Absolutely.  Did some very positive things come out of these relationships?  Absolutely.  But why all the heartache?  What purpose does that serve?

He got an intuitive hit that I have a relationship coming where the other person might have some kind of terminal illness and that all of these experiences are preparing me for this.

Well I am open to that.

The truth is that if I could have the kind of connection that I know is possible with another human being, I would go for it.  Even if they were going to die.  Because the connection would be so strong that even death would be unable to break it.  In fact, it would strengthen it.

My point is that I am no longer a spiritual infant.  I haven't achieved mastery, either.  But I am at a stage in my own personal evolution that I can evaluate these kinds of things, abductions included, from a multidimensional standpoint.  I understand that great good can come from loss.  I know that I am a part of something much greater than my little ego-life here on planet Earth.

So hit me with it.  If I've got contracts out there I want to know about them.  If I've agreed to help the Zetas repair their genes then tell me.  Don't steal me away in my sleep, because I haven't agreed to that.

True agreement must exist on all levels, including this limited level of awareness that we call 3D.  Anything less is only partial agreement, and from that can only come partial performance of the contract.

It is not for us to understand love, but simply to make space for it.

tenetnosce, I suggest you read more than "a bit" of the book before you so blithely jump to conclusions as you are doing here.  As you do, you will see that  the process of receiving the channelings is very similar to the way Laura used to work with the C's (sans the Ouija board).  It's an intelligent, give-and-take exchange between Keith Priest and a couple of other questioners with the Zetas/Zeta-human hybrids, that goes very deep, certainly far beyond the subject of abductions per se. 

Again, I'm grateful to montalk for making the book available for download, I'm very glad to have it in my cyber-library.  But, I'm concerned that if the moderator and others are so quick to label the book as bull,  then the members here may not take the time to read it  and make up their own minds on this complex work.

Jen.  Here have a cookie. smile

I, for one, am not attacking you, and I am not attacking this book.  I suppose I could read the book in its entirety, but I think I'd rather give Keith a call and have a discussion with him personally.

I challenge you to go beyond the book, or any book for that matter.  People are quick to forget that the authors of books continue to live their lives, and come to new awareness about things, while their readership seeks to canonize and dogmatize the material. . .

I didn't think you were attacking me, or the book, either--just that you were judging it based on insuffient data.

I am not seeking to canonize or dogmatize the material, and it certainly is not my Bible.  It is just one of the sources I've found to be helpful on my path, and I would just like people to read it with an open mind. 

Anyway, I'd be very interested in what your friend Keith has to say, if you care to share the discussion here.

Re: Everything You've Been Told About the "Grays" is Bunk

Excerpt from Chapter 12 of Visitors From Within:

Keith: Obviously the Zetas are not truly alien to humanity.  There has to be a deep connection that brings the two species  together. It is a reunification of something in a unique way to  create something new. I would go so far as to say that those who  had  a hand in engineering the humans also had a hand in  engineering the Zetas. How else could it be?

Sasha: Yes, that race would be called the Founders, and you discussed  them in your book The Prism of Lyra.  We would also like to bring  up an issue that has been debated many times in your past about  who, exactly, the Zetas are. In Visitors  from Within the Apexians  were discussed as being the species who became the Zetas. It has  also been debated by  others that the Zetas are really humans  coming from the future to influence yourselves.

Keith: Considering the nature of time and space, couldn't it be  both?

Sasha: Absolutely yes! Many people would feel that they need a  definitive, either/or answer. Are the Zetas Apexians (a race  outside of yourselves) or are they future humans - a literal aspect  of yourselves returning to heal its past and change its future? It  does not have to be one or the other. In fact, because reality is  cyclical and not linear, a definitive answer does not make sense.  It is both! Therein lies the paradox. As we have said many times,  when one approaches a paradox, one is the closest to the truth.

Keith: I have an image in my mind I would like to explore. We  have a model called space and a model called time. When we put  them together we  call that space/time. There is something in  between the two that, through the alchemy between the Zetas and  humans, will bring about a new reality.

Sasha: Yes. When you have two polarities, you will continue to remain  in a polarized universe as long as you simply bounce back and  forth between the two. However,  the true understanding of  whether or not you are truly integrating polarities will come if  you experience paradox. If you are experiencing paradox, it is a  good sign that two polarities are being alchemically integrated  and creating a third idea. You will not complete that integration  or that alchemical change if you do not experience paradox.  Right now, when you bandy about the idea of whether the Zetas  are you or whether they are Apexians, you are now dancing in a  realm of paradox. This means that you are indeed integrating and beginning to create an alchemical change. You do not  have to  have an answer now; you will need to simply continue to dance  in the realm of paradox, because all will eventually be revealed.  This is not a yes or no answer because this is not a yes/no universe.  All the hypothesizing in the world will not make you see  anything clearly. You must walk through the door of experience.  Another insight into why the alchemical process with the children  happened is because children do not have a problem experiencing  paradox. 

Let us discuss what is happening with the Zeta contact experience in your 1998/1 999 continuum. As Ethil said, there is a whole  spectrum of experience from the fear-based to the love-based and  everything in between. That spectrum of contact is still present  on Earth now. Individuals are still having fear-based experiences  as well as love-based ones. However, a great majority of individuals who were having fear-based experiences in the 1980s and  '90s have moved themselves through the spectrum and are now  moving into love-based experiences. The nature of their contacts  is changing. A new set of  people are now moving into the  awareness of having contact, and they are also beginning to move  from fear to love. It is an evolutionary process; it is a species  evolution.

Ultimately, moving from fear to love is an idea that nearly  everyone will need to experience at one time or another. This  movement from fear to love will be experienced whether it is  through Zeta interactions or other means.  Something that wasn't addressed in the original material for  this book (which was channeled in the late 1980s and early 1990s)  has to do with the different factions of Zetas and/or humans who  are conducting various contact activities. Each of these groups  has a different agenda. We are not going to explore this idea in  depth here because this book does not explore who is doing what  to whom. This book explores the nature of the species evolution  that is occurring through these interactions.  We  will say,  however, that there are bona fide ET/human  interactions happening. Humans are also having contact experiences that are not based on visitations by real extraterrestrials.  These experiences have more to do with covert paramilitary and  secret government agendas as well as cult-based activity. These  "contacts" disguise themselves as extraterrestrial activity to confuse the issue. Just about every scenario you can think of is being  explored on Earth at this time, and for a variety of reasons. The  experience a given person has depends on the choices he/she  makes and on his/her life's purpose.  Once again let us stress that you change the experience by  changing who you are. You change the experience by becoming  more of your true self. This includes becoming more empowered,  more heart-centered and spiritually connected with yourself and  calling your internal fragments back home. As you do this, you  become more integrated, and the alchemical process of transformation occurs. You then move yourself into a new frequency  reality where your contacts must change. This is an essential point  to stress.

It is our wish that individuals do not get caught up in who is  doing what to whom and why. Don't be distracted by the mindset  that says, "This group is the good guys" and "That group is the  bad guys." That mindset will keep you polarized. Quite frankly,  the universe is not so conveniently organized. Do not look outside  yourselves for the answers. These polarity judgments (good and  bad) are just a dramatic distraction that takes you away from  yourself and your evolution.  Your natural spiritual evolution will remove you from this  distracting drama and move you back into the heart. That is the  essential key to transformation. You are moving from mind to  heart, from physical to spiritual. The ET contact scenarios on  your world are a way to stimulate this evolution. Do not be  distracted by gloom and doom and drama. Go within, and all the  answers you need will be there when you commit  yourself to  becoming your unlimited potential. The doors of contact open in  a very different way when you make that commitment. Those doors never lead down a road of fear.  They take you home to yourself.
