cupancy of the bodies of grown adults, so as not to waste valuable time. Nyman writes, “We strongly suspect that the feeling of dual reference . . . is unconsciously present in all [abduction] experiencers” (Nyman, 1989). Most investigators of the abduction phenomenon disagree, and indeed when Nyman presented his ideas at a 1992 conference held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, some questioners accused him of leading his subjects into confabulation. They were particularly critical of his practice of asking the subjects to recall “memories” of their lives in the womb. Among Nyman’s defenders was Harvard University psychologist John E. Mack, who was also engaged in extensive hypnotic probing of ostensible abductees. In a book published two years later, Ma c k told the story of a young man he identifies only as Paul, “one of an increasing group of a b d u c t e e s . . . who have discove red that they h a ve a dual identity of an alien (they do not use that word) and a human being.” Pa u l was convinced that he was on Earth to show people how to love and accept love — t h i s e ven before he found his alien identity under hypnosis. Paul had gone to another psychologist to examine some of his life’s problems, including a conviction that he had seen a weird humanoid creature. Hypnotized, he spoke of other encounters with other strange beings, including one when he was two or three years old. The psychologist did not know what to make of these stories, and he and Paul parted company; Paul eventually found his way to Mack. With Mack, Paul explored an apparent memory of a further encounter, this one when he was six and a half. He spoke of seeing a being inside his house and of sensing that the two of them were “linked in a way.” They went outside together, where they met two groups—four or five each—of humanoids. Though they did not look human, Paul felt comfortable, even joyful, to be in their company. They apparently felt the same; they Dual reference 89 hugged him and gave every indication of feeling great affection for him. The whole experience felt “like home.” Subsequently he was taken aboard a ship, an experience he sensed he had undergone in other lives. One of the beings told him that he was from their planet. The alien spoke of human beings’ inability to “truly open up to another” and of their hostility to the visiting extraterrestrials. During the session Paul alternated between his human and alien selves. In the latter, he spoke of the nature of higher consciousness and of humans’ destructive ways. He also expressed homesickness for the ship and the planet from which he had come. He “remembered” earlier visits to Earth, including interactions—apparently tens of millions of years ago—with intelligent, gentle dinosaurs. In another instance, the ship on which he was traveling—in earthling guise—with extraterrestrial companions rescued the surviving occupants of a crashed craft that went down in the desert after being shot down by “men in uniforms.” Two of the crew died and had to be abandoned in the face of advancing soldiers. Paul felt, in this instance, ashamed to be human; yet, in a broader context, he felt certain that “peace and love” were slowly spreading over the Earth and that he had a role to play in opening up human beings to larger, benevolent cosmic truths. According to Mack, Paul has learned powerful psychic healing powers from his ongoing interactions with his extraterrestrial friends. He has been given a great deal of information on their “unbelievable” technology but has been forbidden to share it (Mack, 1994a). Mack rejects the theory that such attachments of abductee to abductor are analogous to the so-called Stockholm Syndrome, in which a hostage comes to identify with his or her captor. There is, he says, “little sense that the alien identity is primarily a product of ‘identification with the aggressor.’ . . . Rather, the dual identity appears to be a fundamental dimension of the consciousness expansion or opening that is an intrinsic aspect of the abduction phenomenon itself” (Mack, 1994b).

Dugja According to members of a small group called Elan Vital (Vital Essence), the last queen of the lost continent of Lemuria, Dugja (pronounced doo-ja), reigns as “Spirit of the Mountain.” The mountain is Shasta, in far northern California, the focus of many occult beliefs and legends. Dugja materializes whenever her mood or the situation, calls for it. One member claimed that in 1963, while meditating on Mount Sh a s t a’s Grey Butte, he sensed an “astral man,” with thin hair, white b e a rd, and pink skin, warning him telepathically to turn back. When he ignored the thre a t s and entreaties, other astral entities joined with the first one. Nonetheless, undaunted, the man ended his meditation and continued his tre k up the mountain. Soon he encountered Du g j a , who greeted him warmly and invited him to stay for a time. He returned to Shasta thre e years later. Since then, he told re p o rter Em i l i e A. Frank in the 1970s, he had visited the queen on many occasions in both physical and outof-body states. “I am also responsible for cleaning negative light forces around Mount Sh a s t a and elsew h e re in the world,” he said. “T h e s e light forces affect the population, and in ord e r to make the world a better place . . . I polarize their negative influences. Eventually they will all be pure. In the meantime, I make many astral trips to Mount Shasta in order to purify the l i g h t s” (Frank, 1998).
