Dear Steven, [John Powell]

	Thankyou for your concerned and informative reply.

	I am well aware that there are demographic areas
wherein sightings and experiences take on some unique
characteristics peculiar to each area.  Each area has its
own progressively evolving set of circumstances concerning
the interaction of humanity with non-humanity.  While race,
creed, colour, etc. etc. seem to make no difference to the
fact of the experiences, differences can be seen when
comparing experiences reported from clearly defined areas. I
know that Mexico experiences reports can vary significantly
with those from California, or Russia.  Why?

        If I told you that the independently evolving areas
idea was of my own doing during one of my experiences, could
you take that information literally?  Or would you try to
find a parable or some other authority to refer to such a
possibility?  Regardless, I cannot possibly expect you or
anyone to entertain such a claim.  You would try to have me
prove in scientific terms that the possibility, beyond mere
coincidence, was exactly as I had explained it.  If not, you
would simply mark that one up to a symptomology of natural,
although not yet understood causes.  At this point, why
should I tell more knowing that I won't have even the
remotest possibility of credibility?

	I would presume at this point to begin to doubt my
own perceptions of reality and so on.  Well, I've done that.
 I've laid my self down to die having given up completely,
but did not.  I still believe the same as I did before.
And, that won't change. Next thing I'll be telling you that
I saw a burning bush... yeah right.  Then I know you
couldn't believe me about anything.  Why?  Because you have
your own values and perceptions with which you view the
world as you can perceive it.  But, you can't begin the
processes necessary to believe in miracles, or in things you
can't understand.  How could you take my simple statements
on blind faith alone to explain anything, especially world
involving events spanning decades.

	How many other abductees try their best to tell
their own story, to be understood by other humans, to find
peace with themselves after their experiences?

	Lifetimes!  We are talking about lifetimes of
experiences handed down through the generations as proof
that there is something going on.  Mine included.

	You suggested that mph professionals could be
prepared to help me over the worst of my inner conflicts.
Well, I tried to find out about that.  Where I live, there
is a two year wait to get into a lineup of questionable
length to get possibly vague help.  That doesn't do it for
me.  The possibly of seeing the esteemed Dr. Mack or any
other expert is as remote as going to the moon.  Besides, I
been there, lotta rock.  Research that.


NOTE:
	Please kids at home, if there is any doubt of your
experiences or sanity, go directly to your nearest doctor,
psychiatrist or teacher.  Do not go about looking for witch
doctors as they only exist in comics and can't help you
anyways.

Take care for now,
Cathy
