The alien connection makes sense to me, for reasons I can't explain.  Did you know that Robert Monroe met up with Whitley Streiber (of Communion fame) at some point?  Whitley has a vid out called True Balance in which he teaches a meditation technique for attracting "encounters."  And it's known that many people who have had encounters often have psychic experiences afterward.  But that's very brave, Lisa!  I'm not sure I could actually get up the nerve to summon aliens!  Let me know how that goes. 

I was asking the question because my older brother passes away recently.  I don't even know if I should pursue it / him.  He may not want to be bothered at this point.  But it sure makes me wonder...

Thanks for getting back. Have fun "out there."
