Creativity and encounters is an intriguing research area.Pauline Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15009205510813566820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040353126484409527.post-2976883335021345952010-04-13T14:15:26.622+09:302010-04-13T14:15:26.622+09:30Hi "Pauline", I just discovered your web...Hi "Pauline", I just discovered your web site. I've found that there is a huge predisposition for people who report close encounters to be creative and many of them professionals. Dancers, writers, musicians, artists....the list just goes on and on. Some were creative as children, others were not. However, when their close encounters became heightened so too did their drive to be creative, to the point that they wanted to earn a living from their creativity and became professionals. (fascinating)<br /><br />I don't know where you're located but if in Brisbane we will be hosting a meeting in May 2010 with a guest speaker who reports having had had close encounters since childhood and who is also an artist.

A lot has been written on this issue. A...Pauline,<br /><br />A lot has been written on this issue. An excellent review by Thomas Bullard in the Journal of UFO Studies, "Hypnosis and UFO Abductions: A troubled relationship", new series, 1, 1989, 3-40, based on a comparison of abductee recollections with hypnosis vs. conscious recall argues there is little difference. Critically: "The same key traits appear with similar frequency among hypnotic and non-hypnotic reports, the beliefs and personalities of investigating hypnotists show little influence on these frequences."<br />I personally favour conscious recall cases and of course cases that involve physical evidence or corroborating information. I have investigated many cases whether the recollections are conscious and hypnosis contributes little or nothing. Of course there have been other studies since that contribute to the debate.Bill Chalkerhttp://theozfiles.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
