Opinions wanted: Would you include this paragraph in a book of philosophy?

[Bring4th_Austin]

Along the lines of YinYang's suggestion, I would perhaps include some specific citation to help back it up. Apart from what she mentioned, I highly recommend looking into the work of Dr. John E. Mack. His name carries some weight because he was not necessarily deep into the field of Ufology and instead was a Pullitzer Prize-winning biographer, tenured professor of psychiatry at Harvard until his death, and has some of the most fascinating investigation into the UFO abduction phenomenon I've read. His own story is interesting in its own right, but I greatly appreciate his approach to investigating this phenomenon. I would highly recommend his book Abduction: Human Encounters with Aliens.

I bring this up specifically because I found the content very eye-opening, as it challenged my own notion of the alien abduction phenomenon which was similar to yours. It consists of several case-studies that he considers representative of the whole body of his research, and he shares some of his own findings from throughout his career while trying his best to shy away from conclusions. He has a strong focus on the spiritual nature of the phenomenon. What I found challenging about it is that in his research, none of his patients have had a clear-cut positive or negative experience with abduction. Most of the experiences almost always have very intense negative aspects to them, but they are not devoid of sprinklings of positive influences. Many who experience these negative things also have positive experiences of love, harmony, sense of purpose, and call to action. Sometimes, if the person processed the catalyst of the abduction and grew spiritually, their experiences would shift from mostly negative to mostly positive experiences. It is an intricate, confusing, and quite amazing phenomenon.

I just wanted to bring this up as the paragraph you have shared, based on my research of Dr. Mack's work, is true but somewhat incomplete.
