VISITATIONS
The following, transcribed slightly abridged but otherwise
verbatim, was anonymously posted on the UFO Alert website:
I was sleeping….I woke up and I couldn't move….There was
2 figures in the room with me. As they advanced towards me I saw that
they were aliens….I know, it sounds like it's not real but I
swear...it is! Then I appeared in an operating room on top of a table.
There were other people in the room too. Eithor having their ears
or noses drilled into or having their sperm or an egg disected. It
was disgusting. All around me was little baby aliens in jars….A
larger alien came to me and held a, what looked like a shot, up to
my arm. They injected it into me and I cringed. It hurt like mad.
I do not know what they did but later they took something large and
purpleish out of my arm from the exact spot….I wish I could forget
the whole thing but it is quite impossible. I can no longer speak
because they took out my vocal cords….The aliens just did not
expect one thing; the power of a computer. I type this same story
to as many people as I can and I hope that by posting it on the internet
that my story will get through. Many people do not believe me but
I hope you….will consider this story as a warning.
In her autobiography, the French Visitandine nun Marguerite-Marie
Alacoque recounted the following apparition from late December 27, 1673:
Once…having a little more leisure than usual, I felt wholly
filled with this Divine Presence, and so powerfully moved by it that
I forgot myself and the place in which I was. I abandoned myself to
this Divine Spirit, and yielded my heart to the power of his love.
He made me rest for a long time on His divine breast, where He discovered
to me the wonders of his love and the inexplicable secrets of his
Sacred Heart, which He had hitherto kept hidden from me. Now He opened
it to me for the first time, but in a way so real, so sensible, that
it left me no room to doubt, though I am always in dread of deceiving
myself.
What is the difference between these two accounts? Both
record paranormal phenomena. For both persons the experience was absolutely
real. Both persons were passive recipients of powerful outside forces.
And the experience gave each special knowledge, for one a “warning,”
for the other “inexplicable secrets.”
Recent polls show that 80 percent of Americans believe
the government is hiding knowledge of the existence of extraterrestrial
life and an equal percent believe in miracles. So why are reports of
alien abduction viewed as delusional, while Alacoque is a revered saint?
This nineteenth-century engraving pictures Marguerite-Marie
holding a drawing she made of the Sacred Heart she claimed Jesus revealed
to her.
