The UFO Abduction and NDE Connections

The similarities between UFO abduction accounts and NDE's (Near Death Experiences) is hard to miss for me. Here is the set of common elements:

1. Time distortion (slowing or stopping, etc)
2. Feeling of floating or levitating
3. Going towards a light and into another realm
4. Meeting other worldly beings or spirits
5. Cultural variations where local beliefs influence experiences
6. Telepathic communication
7. Communication of emotions (love, fear, etc)
8. Communication of knowledge
9. Euphoric feelings after the experience (in small number of cases)
10. Extraordinary abilities (mostly ESP-like) after the experience in minority of cases

The similarities are too great to be coincidence, I believe. Here, however, are some stark differences with abductions:

1. Often these involve aliens or mythical creatures
2. Often there's a feeling of being immobilized
3. Often experiments are reported to have been done
4. These experiences are often vague recollections

Here is my interpretation of the above data. Abductions and NDE's are real spiritual world experiences with real spirit beings. The time distortion, levitating, moving into a light (a portal to the spiritual realm), and spirits that can communicate telepathically are all common elements that are the result of the nature of the spiritual realm. What forms of spirits and the messages that are given during these experiences are quite drastically different, however, and that is because of what the spirits are trying to accomplish with these encounters, I believe.

The first three points directly above I'd explain this way. As I've written about before, angels/demons can take on any form, whether that be aliens, fairies, or whatever. The feeling of being immobilized happens when someone is sleeping or almost sleeping and their bodies have been temporarily paralyzed. So, their feelings could be from their bodies rather than their spirits, or their spirits are genuinely unable to move because of the link that remains between the body and spirit, in those cases. The experiments that happen during abductions could be partly psychological explorations or attempts to obtain information about humans.

The circumstances in which these spirit-world experiences occur is worthy of note. The reason for having a spiritual experience in an NDE is obvious. The UFO abductions often occur during in and around sleep. I believe sleep is a time when the spirit is partially detached from the body causing temporary unconsciousness. The human spirit is 'operating' (for lack of a better word) on the brain during sleep. This partial detachment could be what makes the spiritual world become more tangible and open a window for demonic interference. Alternatively, some UFO abductions seem to happen to people while under hypnosis or who are involved with the New Age, both of which could also open a window to the spiritual world.

One thing I've noted is that the UFO abductions tend to be much more vague and hard to remember, which makes perfect sense when you consider that the brain records its own set of memories in parallel with the spirit, and a person's brain isn't nonfunctional until death. So, only in NDE's when a person is clinically dead will the spiritual world memories become vivid and easy to recall, since the brain has stopped recording its own memories and will not collide with alternative memories of the spirit. (By the way, a purely materialistic explanation would seem to logically fit the opposite case: the NDE's should be less vivid and more vague, and the UFO abductions should be more real.)

Now, I had to wonder what would be the reason behind these experiences being so different and so culturally dependent. Satan, I believe, according to the Bible uses every available window of opportunity to deceive people. The best opportunities are when people open windows to the spiritual world and demons can strongly influence us. The purpose of deceptions during NDE's is clear to me: (1) to convince people that God is not who the Bible says He is, (2) to give people a false sense of security, and (3) to open the door to a one-world religion. Trying to do alien abductions during death wouldn't work very well, so the best option is to fool people into thinking they've passed to the afterlife and God has welcomed them to heaven -- even if they've never trusted in Jesus Christ alone for salvation.

However, during UFO abductions, the deception serves an entirely different purpose, I think: (1) to confirm people in their basic false beliefs, and (2) to manipulate people's beliefs about spirits and aliens and world politics. Here are two basic statistics about abductions that are enlightening: 

1. Abductions in the US are often alien abductions and negative experiences
2. Abductions outside the US are often positive experiences with non-alien beings

I believe the cultural relativity of abductions and NDE's is because demons want to prey on people's already-established beliefs and tweak those beliefs for various purposes, since people most readily accept things that are similar to their current beliefs. So, for instance, a god who is all love and only sends people to hell temporarily is easy for a nominal Baptist to believe -- and an ideal message to give someone like that in an NDE. A Buddha of light who preaches love and acceptance of other people and says he will have to be reincarnated is a good message for a Buddhist monk in his NDE -- and a good message with which to deceive other people. During abductions, the same thing applies, but more subtly. Two high agenda items for Satan for the US, I think, are to increase the acceptance of humanistic evolution, and (politically) to get America to become less independent and more globalist. This is aided by getting people to believe in UFOs and aliens who are hostile. The idea of hostile aliens is a good incitement for Americans to seek to become more globalized with their fellow 'earthlings'.

The Europeans, however, are an entirely different story. They've already embraced Darwinism about as much as they can, so the way they 'need' to be deceived would be more along the lines of convincing them that the New Age is good and that spiritualism is healthy and many good and benevolent spirits are wanting to make contact with us through meditation, etc. So, abductions need to be more friendly for them to accomplish this goal of deception. And, that is precisely what you see according to evidence.

Undoubtedly, fallen angels have become the masters of deceit, and it is reasonable that a different strategy would be used for each culture -- and even for each individual. I don't think that they only think culturally. Their deceptive techniques are likely complex, and sometimes they're trying more to deceive an individual and other times the purpose may be more regional or for a whole culture.

We also have to realize that demons would not want to become obvious. Those who are materialists may easily use the cultural variations to say that the experiences originate entirely in the brain and not from a spirit world. That may also be part of their strategy. The harder it is for people to know what is going on and why, the better. That way they can use these experiences to deceive more people and in more ways and never be discovered for what they truly are.
