What is your earliest recollection of contact/aliens, if you feel you can share it?

My earliest recall is of lying in bed at night at about the age of 3, shivering in terror, as what I called "brontosauruses" surrounded the bed. My mother was not very sympathetic (I suppose one can't blame her) but eventually provided a night light, which seemed to help a bit. I became hysterically afraid of doctors or any man in a white coat at about the same time. I now feel these fears were alien-contact related. . . .

Well i don't know about aliens or when it was, but my most interesting memory was when i was crying at night whilst thinking about the world, my mother took me into her bed and i feel asleep, in the morning i woke up to find she was gone, i felt sudden lonely as if i was the only person on the planet. I was about to cry but i didn't, i looked out at the window at what first seemed like a scary creature, but turned out to be a bush blowing in the wind. For some reason it felt so mysterious, that moment i became aware of the strangeness of how things were, i wondered why the bush was moving because of the wind, the wind blew it forcing it to move but, there was something about it. When i think back to that moment, i feel like i was a lot smarter as a child than i am now. Like my mind was doing so much more. I feel like this memory strongly affects who i've become. I think some of the very most important memories we make are what we have as a child especially the first memories we have, like this one i have here. I can't express how important it is to me.

I think the names that come with your experience is pretty important, i mean you can make them up, but even if you do, as a child these names come from categorising what it seemed to be from the very powerful unconscious mind, it is a creation of exactly what you thought of it. As a child thought is more connected to the unconscious. IMO

I saw an UFO in my teens (nuts & bolts) and started having astral 'abduction' experiences at the age of forty, but also dreamed of being young and being 'visited' back home. I don't know if these dreams are memories, though.

Hibby, I have a vivid memory of when I was just a baby. While I was in the arms of one of my parents one night, I looked outside the window and saw my neighbor digging something. I remember exactly what I thought, and as unusual as it was, I thought he was burying a body. I don't think a baby would normally think that, at least not according to what most people think of babies. And so, I think we are born with a certain amount of knowledge and come to grow ignorant over time. That are such a memory was implanted in my brain... after all, I have had contact with demons ("aliens") for a long time.

[Hibby]

hmm interesting to think we're born with knowledge, opens up a whole new possibility i'm not quite sure what to make of it. i do think we become more ignorant as we grow older though

[CFTraveler]

I disagree with that notion. I don't think we 'become more ignorant'. I'd say our focus becomes more specialized- more 'focused'. The knowledge is still there, it's just harder to get to because of all the input we keep receiving, and our inability to process it all at once.

[Hibby]

yeah! but thats the same as becoming ignorant, well, thats what it means to me anyway, just different understandings of the same word.

[CFTraveler]

To me ignorant means 'not having information', and in popular usage 'ignorant' also means 'not wanting to know better'. So I still think we're not more ignorant, we just don't all have the tools.

[Hibby]

for me being ignorant means "not being able to see/know" at least that's what I've thought. i'll go look up the dictionary for a better word.

I've been wondering lately, with renewed interest, how much programming these early experiences have done to our minds.

[Hibby]

depends on how much you allow the experiences to affect you, as a child most things would appear straight forward or something. i know that i've got quite a few bad habits that i'm aware of, and i know i should get rid of them but its actually pretty hard. it has basically become who i am. Its annoying to think that something so little so long ago could affect you so much.
