Awakening
How Extraterrestrial Contact can Transform your life!
Mary Rodwell 2002
                      
Awakening to your multidimensional Contact reality.

SYNOPSIS

Awakening acts as a guide a self-help resource that takes you through your awakening process, it asks YOU if you are having experiences you can't  explain, and it offers you a 'key' to remembering.

Its focus is the range of experiences called Contact with non-human extraterrestrial beings. It demonstrates that there are many 'forms' of such experiences apart from the well-known 'classic' X-files sometimes very traumatic kind. Other forms may be very subtle and range from a feeling of being very 'different' to even their own family, with a knowledge and awareness of a multi- reality with knowledge and information they have not consciously learnt. Many feel very isolated because of this and unaware that they are one of many who feel the same.
Awakening begins by exploring how modern man defines reality. And this definition often is the cause the conflict for those who experience this multi-level' reality and this creates a conflict of paradigms which is isolating, as it is bewildering. Although this conflict is only present in more Westernised society who bases most of it's judgements regarding reality on a scientific third dimensional framework.

The first chapter begins with a letter from a mature intelligent professional, who is faced with a realisation that he had been having Abduction/contact experiences throughout his life. Frightened and isolated, his letter shows his confusion as he is torn between denial and acceptance.
He shares how a book on 'Abductions' was the catalyst to his awakening to his own Contact.
Dana Redfield herself a Contact 'experiencer' said about this chapter:
" David's letter describes exactly how I felt, after reading John Mack's book 'Abduction'. Isn't it interesting that our experiences can be different, but the same feelings attend the waking up."
Dana Redfield. Author of 'Summoned and Et/Human Link'. Hampton Roads

Chapter two offers some 100 'indicators,' of this experience, from sighting a UFO to the less well known points of reference, as it guides the reader to discern if these are relevant to their own personal experiences.

Chapter three leads the individual through the 'questioning of their reality,' and explores conventional explanations of this experience, as it explains why conventional explanations are too limited and cannot fully explain this phenomenon. It leaves you to decide if your experience fits more traditional explanations or if you are indeed having some form of Contact. If you believe you maybe experiencing Contact then the latter part of the chapter explores the Contact process in "Contact - the Chrysalis for Change', and how many individuals experience some of this process and slowly to move from one paradigm to an expanded one. How Contact is a catalyst for change, and transformation.

Chapter four, is a case study on Sandra, her courageous story when at just fourteen years of age, she was diagnosed as mentally ill, after she had told her Doctor she was seeing 'aliens.' This chapter follows her personal quest to understand what was happening to her. She finally challenged the medical diagnosis, found her own "truth" about her experiences. "Chapter four was very inspirational to me, and very helpful. It is a very powerful story for what you are working to accomplish. It is particularly "healing" for me, if I think I had it bad, here is a young woman who had a tougher time of it. I can't get enough of 'experiencer' stories."
Dana Redfield...author Summoned ( Hampton Roads)

Chapter five explores 'fear' as our personal Armageddon to awakening to our multi-reality, and shows many strategies individuals use to cope with fear, from practical to spiritual.

Chapter six explores emotional support and the many ways to access this support safely and with confidence. The differences between researcher and counsellor, and what each can offer you.

Chapter seven looks at support groups both professional and self-help. It shows how experiencer's can support each other by setting up their own support groups, with practical suggestions and guidance.

Chapter eight contains a personal account by Tracey Taylor a young woman who consciously remembers her interactions with extraterrestrial beings, she describes them and what they have communicated to her. Tracey has produced some amazing geometric and symbolic art that reflects what she has been shown; she explains what she believes is now occurring on the planet. She also describes her 'process' to produce this art and how she feels speaking the languages and writing the scripts that manifest through her Contact experiences. This has been recorded in an award winning video produced by ACERN "Expressions of ET Contact, a visual blueprint."

Dana Redfield authors (Summoned..Human ET /Link) comments:
"Tracey's story is particularly inspiring to me she invokes "recognition"in me, which unleashes more questions. She really captures in words, and turns on lights. Her story is fascinating, and she is extraordinary, I think.
All over, powerful testimonies in your manuscript. I don't see how it cannot attract curious professionals, and of course the value for experiencers is inherent."

Chapter nine focuses on Children with Contact, and contains personal accounts. These children are often called "Star Kids.' Other names are 'Indigo Children' and Children of light. (See books same name.) I include some of the latest research and evidence for these 'new children on the block,' The chapter not only explores some of the evidence for these children, but asks if the readers children display some of these characteristics and how to support and help them.

Chapter 10 The 'Missing pregnancy syndrome, and include the traditional medical explanations for this syndrome, I show how personal accounts 'conflict' with the traditional explanations. It also includes a personal, emotive story of Ann Andrews, (Author Abducted) who travelled from the UK to Western Australia, to discover through regression what happened to her 'missing pregnancy' which she believed through flashbacks and trauma had been taken by extraterrestrials, as she asked the question of them, "Why did 'they' take my son?' A regression to explore this question completely changed her understanding of what happened to her missing pregnancy, and has implications that are astounding.

Chapter eleven explores the reality of  'Implants,' as those with Contact often feel they have implants placed within their body after Contact experiences. I explore the evidence for their physical and metaphysical reality, with an unusual case study of a lady who believed she had metaphysical 'energy' 'implants' which incorporates a 'past life' memory.

Chapter twelve, discusses  (HSA) high sense Abilities (psi)
'transformative' effects of Contact, I call "Fruits of Contact.'  This translates into abilities such as clairvoyance and telepathy etc.  I describe what these abilities are, and how to recognise them.  With some short personal accounts of how they manifest for some individuals.

Chapter thirteen, offers information, references and resources available through books and many other outlets such as media and organisations specific to this experience, to show the reader the many ways that they can access information.

Chapter fourteen Expressions of ET reality, awakening to our multidimensional selves, gives examples of the further reality of ET Contact through drawings, scripts and language that individuals manifest. They describe their process and understanding. I also share two stories of how some terrifying Contact experiences were transformed into very positive healing experiences, which created dramatic changes in lifestyle for two young men. And how whatever the experience this Contact has some positive outcome. This chapter also explores the phenomenon of 'ET Secret Schools ' and the evidence for their reality.

Chapter fifteen explores 'a holistic model of Contact support' and I show how this multi-experience benefits from this approach. And how 'holism' is changing not only our understanding of physical healing but of psychological and spiritual health. By using a conventional but expanded model of therapy I show how this model can offer the client a clearer understanding that resonates at a deeper level. I demonstrate why I needed to 'marry' the cognitive professional model with this metaphysical base. I demonstrate through regression, how this new model works.  This is aimed at researchers and therapists.

Chapter Sixteen "The ET Contact elephant." I show how this complex phenomenon has no single answer and we all have versions of its truth. To ask the reader to access their own understanding, to be aware that any conclusions will only be a part of this complex phenomenon and that it will also be altered by their own personal focus, attitude and spiritual beliefs. And to be aware that what we choose to believe will decide how we cope and what we understand. It asks the reader to look at the facts and decide what they feel this may be saying to them not only for themselves, but humanity as a whole.

The Afterward,  'The Alien Lady' a title that was given me by one of my clients, as and begin a short synopsis of how my life has changed by supporting those with Contact. Contact has proved the catalyst for me to question all my beliefs to ask what is the nature of personal reality?

The book essentially aims to create a bridge between two paradigms; the multidimensional experience and the present accepted third dimensional one. I suggest that we 'deny 'many of our experiences, because we struggle to 'fit' them into a third dimensional framework. This creates doubt and confusion within the psyche, and our fear limits what we allow ourselves to experience. I argue that if we can acknowledge that  'reality' to encompass this broader paradigm, we can start to make sense of it, and can integrate more of what we experience as reality.

The book shows that 'classic' Abductions and the more 'subtle ' forms of Contact are the experience of a multidimensional universe. The book offers some explanations, as well as information, to encourage personal exploration of this reality, and to explore what Contact may mean for us all.

REVIEWS

Mary Rodwell is an investigator and author, who in the writing of Awakening, has captured the very essence of the subject. Never before in the history of Ufology has anyone succeeded in setting forth the amount of material referenced in this work. In her writing, she not only sights the individual experiences of abductees, but delves with great prowess into both the physical and psychological components of the phenomenon. She is careful to stay with the facts at hand and clearly lays out the commonalties of the experiences. I am sure the reader will be fascinated with the ultra-personal aspects concerning the medical and non-medical signs and symptoms.

Mary has also included the psychological aspects that often don't get the attention they deserve. She should be given an award for her ability to present a clear and concise indepth perspective of the phenomenon, from both a personal and non personal standpoint. This will translate into one giant step regarding the much needed help for experiencers who require this kind of general support and trust.

Although Mary Rodwell is not a scientist or medical doctor, Awakening presents medical and scientific evidence pertaining to the reality of this phenomenon, which is so very important to the experiencers and the public at large. It is time for the mythological aspects of this subject to be erased forever.

Mary also touches, in a very comprehensive fashion, on an aspect of abduction that is beginning to make itself more apparent. That is, the actual purpose. Why are these events happening all over the world to so many people? One possibility is that the human race is being genetically manipulated, and perhaps this process has been occurring throughout history.

Mary has done a superb job in illustrating the fact that children of today may be different to those born fifty or so years ago. The facts of my own study prove this to be the case. I have used 17 functional growth characteristics and compared them over a forty year period from 1947 to 1987. I have found there has been an accelerated change in these statistics varying from 16 to 80%. Most will agree this is very specific data and can not be attributed to the evolutionary process or any other known global or environmental factors. It should also be understood that this process seems to involve the expansion of consciousness. Have you ever stood in awe and wondered about the statement your young child has just uttered, then perhaps retorted by saying, "Where in the world did you get that from?" This gives solid evidence that the human race is being genetically manipulated. It is also felt in certain scientific circles that our understanding of modern genetics can be used to prove this beyond the shadow of a doubt. Awakening looks at this subject in a very objective manner and sites numerous references from relevant sources.

In this comprehensive work Mary Rodwell concerns herself with numerous other related subjects, such as the Missing Pregnancy Syndrome, and Includes an encyclopaedia of PSI abilities as well as a very comprehensive chapter on alien implants. The manner of this text is extremely clear. It will give the reader a concise review of the abduction phenomena, from the Contact experiences themselves, right through to understanding the coping process and looking at what Contact may mean.

In my opinion this will become the bible of the Alien Abduction Phenomenon and will make itself apparent in every library the world over.

This book is subtitled 'How Extraterrestrial Contact can Transform Your Life', my first feelings were really wondering what to expect, especially so when the comment on the front cover comes from Dr. Roger Leir (who also writes the foreword to the book) and states "In my opinion this book will become the bible of the Alien Abduction Phenomenon". When someone of Dr. Leir's standing gives a book such a high accolade, you have to be impressed. However, I was already eager to get 'stuck into' this book having spoken to Mary at the 21st Leeds UFO Conference in September.

Every so often you read a book that makes you sit up and take note, this book does more than just that?
Mary Rodwell is a trained midwife and therapist from Australia; she is also the principal for ACERN (Australian Close Encounter Resource Network) and a Counsellor and Hypnotherapist. I have to be honest here and say that I agree one-hundred percent with Dr. Leir's statement, this book is something special.

I really have only one problem? I do not think that my words for this review can do justice to just how good this book is?

Awakening covers all aspects of the Abduction/contact phenomenon, including regression, implants, missing pregnancies, star children and much more.

However, what is different about this book is that it is aimed at the experiencers and specifically directs you to ask the question "Am I having Contact?"

The book offers support and advice to those who know or suspect that they may be having contact. It is for this reason that I feel it will become an invaluable tool for experiencers, researchers and counsellors alike.

The book is written in a way that makes it easy for everyone to understand and a compelling read. The whole view point of this book comes from a qualified therapist who was initially sceptical of the contact phenomena, but remained open minded. Once she had spent time working with these people she became convinced that whole phenomena of Abduction/contact was something real and happening to ordinary people the world over.

The information included in the book that comes from the experiences of those that Mary has worked with is a refreshing look at the whole phenomena. Especially so as the book opens with the experiences of one of those people, in the form of excerpts of a letter written to Mary.

I don't think that I have been able to find something about this book that I do not like. However, if I had to state one thing it would be that it is not long enough and I would definitely like to read more about Mary's research.

This book is a most compelling read and one that I found hard to put down. I certainly feel that this book should be on the shelves of all those serious researchers into the Abduction/contact phenomena. I would definitely recommend it to those I know. I am not one for grading books, but if I had to for this book I would give it 10 out of 10.

Finally, I have one more thing to say about Awakening? Read it, Now! You may find you own life transformed!
