“Personally, it is my conviction that all sentient beings are immortal spiritual beings. This includes human beings. For the sake of accuracy and simplicity I will use a made-up word: “IS-BE”. Because the primary nature of an immortal being is that they live in a timeless state of “is”, and the only reason for their existence is that they decide to “be”.
No matter how lowly their station in a society, every IS-BE deserves the respect and treatment that I myself would like to receive from others. Each person on Earth continues to be an IS-BE whether they are aware of the fact or not.”
(MATILDA O’DONNELL MACELROY PERSONAL NOTE)
(I will never forget this conversation. Her tone was very matter-of-fact and emotionless. However, for the first time, I sensed the presence of a warm and real “personality” in Airl. Her reference to “immortal spiritual beings” struck me like a flash of light in a dark room. I had never before considered that a human being could be an immortal being.
I thought that status or power was reserved solely for The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost. And, because I am a devout Catholic and subject to the word of The Lord Jesus, and The Holy Father, I have never thought of a woman as an immortal spiritual being either — not even the Holy Mother Mary. Yet, when Airl thought that thought, I became vividly aware for the very first time that she, personally, was an immortal spiritual being, and so are we all!
Airl said that she sensed that I was confused about the idea. She said she would demonstrate to me that I am also an immortal spiritual being. She said, “Be above your body!” Immediately, I realized that I was “outside” of my body, looking down from the ceiling at the top of my body’s head! [i] (Footnote) I was also able to see the room around me, including Airl’s body sitting in the chair next to my own body. After a moment, I realized the simple, but shocking, reality, that “I” am not a body.
In that moment a black veil lifted and for the first time in my life, and for a very long time into the past, I realized that I am not “my soul”, but that “I” am “me” — a spiritual being. This was an unexplainable epiphany, but one that fills me with a joy and relief I cannot recall having experienced ever before. As for the “immortal” part, I do not understand her meaning, as I have always been taught that I am not immortal — a spirit, perhaps — but certainly not immortal!
After a moment — I’m not sure how long — Airl asked me if I had a better understanding of the idea. Suddenly, I was back inside my body again, and said out loud, “Yes! I see what you mean!”.
I was so taken aback by the experience that I had to get up from my chair and walk around the room for a few minutes. I made an excuse that I needed to get a drink of water, and go to the restroom, which I did. In the restroom I looked at my “self” in the mirror. I used the toilet, refreshed my make-up, and straightened my uniform. After 10 or 15 minutes I felt more “normal” again and returned to the interview room.
After that I felt as though I was no longer just an interpreter for Airl. I felt as though I was a “kindred spirit”. I felt like I was safe, at home, with a trusted friend or family member, as close as any I have ever had. Airl sensed and understood my confusion about the concept of “personal immortality”. She began her first “lesson” with me by explaining this to me.”
— Excerpt from the book ALIEN INTERVIEW
[i] “… I was “outside” of my body, looking down from the ceiling…”
“An out-of-body experience (OBE), is an experience that typically involves a sensation of floating outside of one’s body and, in some cases, perceiving one’s physical body from a place outside one’s body (autoscopy). About one in ten people has reported having an out-of-body experience at some time in their lives. It is claimed that those experiencing an OBE sometimes observe details which were unknown to them beforehand.
The first extensive scientific study of OBEs was made by Celia Green (1968). She collected written, first-hand accounts from a total of 400 subjects, recruited by means of appeals in the mainstream media, and followed up by questionnaire. some 80% reported feeling they were a ‘disembodied consciousness’, with no external body at all.
Another form of a spontaneous OBE occurs during a near death experience (NDE). The phenomenology of an NDE usually includes physiological, psychological and transcendental factors (Parnia, Waller, Yeates & Fenwick, 2001) such as impressions of being outside the physical body (an out-of-body experience), Typically the experience follows a distinct progression, starting with the sensation of floating above one’s body and seeing the surrounding area.”
