The Andreasson Affair (22 page)

Betty:
This could be, because I didn't see it back on the end table. Only the blue book was on the, uh, end table.

In other words, the blue book had remained in Betty's house
after
the aliens' departure! In the next session, we decided to go back in Betty's memory to see what, if anything, she could recall of this mysterious document.

We remembered that three days after the event, Becky had approached her mother with her own memories of the incident.

Betty:
It was about two days later that Becky came to me with her dream, and she—two or three days later, she told me about it.

Harold:
Why did you wait so long, Becky?

Becky:
Because I thought it was a dream. And then I thought, well, with dreams, something in here will get over it. It's just a dream. But it upset me, and after three days it was upsetting me so much I had to tell Mom, 'cause it was just bothering me too much. I was scared.

Ray:
Did you remember that something had happened?

Becky:
I told her that I had a dream. I told my dream, and she told me that was true, that really happened…but not to tell anyone about it, and don't worry about it.

Betty:
And it hit me then that “That was no dream, honey. That really happened, but don't tell anybody.”

Now, in the 13th session, we returned the hypnotized Betty to the moment when Becky first related her dream.

David:
Becky first mentioned the dream she had that related to your incident. Can you go back to that time now?

Betty:
It was about three days later she mentioned it. She came to me and she said, “Mommy, I've had a strange dream.”

David:
When was this? In the morning?

Betty:
Yes, and she told me what she had seen. I said, “Shush, shush, quiet. Don't scare the kids.” And she said “Why?” And I said, “Come here.” And I brought her into the bedroom and said, “Mommy is going to tell you that it wasn't any dream, honey. It really happened. There were some strange things in the house, but don't tell anybody, will you?” And she looked at me funny and she said, “You mean what I dreamed was true?” I said, “Yeah, but don't be afraid, ‘cause Jesus is with us.” I said, “I'll show you.” And I did take the blue book out.… I'm feeling very cold right now.

David:
Are you feeling cold when you touch the book?

Betty:
No, I just feel cold because of telling you about it. It gives me goose bumps. I'm all right now. Maybe it's because I wasn't supposed to show anybody the book.

David:
Do you remember showing it to anybody other than Becky?

Betty:
No, I just see us—she sitting on my bed, and I'm going to the closet.

David:
Is this the closet in your bedroom, where you kept the book?

Betty:
Yes, and there is a noise in the kitchen, and so I put it back and I closed the closet. I went out into the kitchen and I told her, “Shush, just wait a minute, honey, I'll be right back.” I went out into the kitchen, and it was just Jimmy and Mark coming in for a drink of water—I went to get the book again and showed Becky. I told her, “Now, don't tell anybody, will you, honey, because it's very important. It's from Jesus.” Becky's face just lit right up. She was beaming. She was so happy and excited over it.

David:
Did she say anything about seeing the blue book earlier?

Betty:
Yes, she said, “That's what they gave you, Mommy. I remember, that's what they gave you.” And I'm getting the chills again for some reason.

Joseph:
Do you think that they wanted you to show Becky the book?

Betty:
I wasn't supposed to show anybody.

David:
See if you can remember as clearly as you can the last time that you saw the thin blue book they gave you. Can you try to remember that?

Betty:
The
last
time I saw it?

David:
Yes.

Betty:
The last time I saw it all alone?

Once again, we realized we had “called” for the wrong time period and decided to follow Betty's lead.

David:
You're all alone? Where were you?

Betty:
In my house.

David:
Can you tell us about this time?

Betty:
I have just locked the front door, ‘cause the kids have gone to school, and my mother and father have gone back home, and I'm sitting at the table and I'm opening it up.

Fred:
How long after the sighting was this day when you last saw the blue book?

Betty:
Ah, I think it was…[
Pause
] I think it was nine days.

Fred:
Do you know what day of the week it was?

Betty:
It was a weekday, because I know I went to get it, and it wasn't there, and I was shook up. I thought maybe the kids had gotten a hold of it. I couldn't touch the book on Sunday because they were around. When they went out to play, like on Saturday, I could take a look. It was really bothering me ‘cause I wanted to study that so much and to see what it was. My father and mother went home, and that Monday they were gone and my kids were in school, and I felt, now I can do it.

Ray:
Betty, where had you kept the book prior to locking the door and going to the kitchen table to look at it?

Betty:
I hid it in the closet.

Ray:
Why did you hide it in the closet?

Betty:
I don't know.

David:
Did they tell you to hide it in the closet, or to keep it hidden?

Betty:
Yes, they said that.

David:
Did they tell you why they wanted you to keep it hidden?

Betty:
It must not be seen by any that were not worthy.

David:
Did they give you a reason why they didn't want you to show the blue book to anyone?

Betty:
Because it was for initiation, and Becky was too young and had to go through too many things yet in order to see it.

David:
Why did they pick you?

Betty:
It was a book of initiation of mysteries of everything that is. It is because of things I have gone through and yet have stood fast.

Joseph:
Were you supposed to study it?

Betty:
I was supposed to look at it and grasp as much as I could possibly grasp for the future.

Joseph:
Is that the information that you have locked in your memory that you were to release in time?

Betty:
It is a portion of it, but the biggest portion is what was told me from Quazgaa and Joohop.

David:
After your parents had left and you were able to sit down with the book, what did you first do?

Betty:
I was just at the kitchen table there and I was just opening up the book.

Jules:
Did you look at the cover to see if there is any symbol on the cover?

Betty:
There is something there. [
Whisper
] What is it? It's like in the very center. It's very thin. Thin gold. It just looks Egyptian.

Fred:
How many pages are in the blue book, and did you look through all of them to see how large it was?

Betty:
Around forty thin, thin papers.

Joseph:
Are they numbered?

Betty:
No.

Fred:
Are they printed on both sides of the sheet?

Betty:
No, that's what's strange. On the other side, it's a glowing white.

David:
The other side of every page?

Betty:
It seems it from here, but it seems as you get toward the black writing, it seems as if…[
Pause
] unless it just comes through from the other page. It's so thin. For some reason, I'm very close to the book. I'm looking down about 10 or 12 inches from the book, and there is strange writing in it and numbers.

David:
Is this writing you're describing on the first page?

Betty:
No. I'm in between the pages.

David:
What do you mean—that the symbols are
in between
the pages?

Betty:
It's maybe about the fourth or fifth page.

David:
Had you just opened the book up to this page?

Betty:
I opened it to more pages than the beginning, because the first three pages were just white light—glowing. There are all sorts of symbols.

Betty attempted to describe the strange script in terms of familiar things.

Betty:
One comma-dash like a curleque of some kind. A sweeping under in a circle, and then two lines close to each other with a kind of a rounded line on top like a—you know, like a…with two sides. A zero with a dot and some kind of a line on an angle going through that with a little flag-type thing on the line.

Fred:
Are there pictures in the blue book? Illustrations? Or is there only writing?

Betty:
No. There are diamonds with a dot in the middle. There is something like a staff and there are arrows. There is, uh, something that is on an angle and—it's a rectangle on a side, and it goes out.

Fred:
Betty, can you understand this writing that you see?

Betty:
No, I'm just looking at it.

Fred:
Do you feel that the blue book is giving you information? What is the value of the blue book to you in terms of what does it do?

Betty:
It's mysterious because of the strangeness of it.

David:
Were you able, then, at this time to look at every page in the blue book?

Betty:
At this time, I'm just seeing a pyramid again.

Fred:
Is that in the book?

Betty:
Yes, a pyramid, but a strange-type pyramid. It has a chute on it, and it has an arrow, some type of an arrow. It's all strange. All strange. It's like, ah, takeoff things for airplanes or something like pyramids with, uh—it's just hard to explain it.

Fred:
Can you fix this in your memory so you can draw it for us later?

Betty:
I'll try to.

David:
Try to remember what was on each page of the blue book. Try to write it down and draw it for us after the session.

Betty:
I will try. I would prefer if possible to do it now while I am seeing it.

Jules:
You mean now while you are under hypnosis?

Betty:
Yes.

Joseph:
You want to do that now, Betty?

Betty:
Yes, if I can have the power in my hand. [Her hands were rigid while under hypnosis.]

Jules:
Here is a pen. Would you rather have a pencil?

Betty:
I will have to first somehow be released. My hand.

Harold released Betty's hand as requested. Betty proceeded to draw symbols on a pad of paper held by the hypnotist's assistant. She kept her eyes closed while writing.

David:
Are all these symbols that you are drawing on one page?

Betty:
Yes.

David:
Do you remember which page it is?

Betty:
No.

David:
Are you feeling right now that any of these symbols are more important than other ones?

Betty:
There is a mechanical thing that I couldn't draw.

David:
That's okay. Maybe you can draw it later. Are there any other symbols that are important? More important than others?

Betty:
The written meaning to it cannot be written by our words.… It's unspeakable in words, our words. It can only be seen through symbols.

David:
After you were through looking at the book, what did you do with it?

Betty:
I put it up, and I took my Bible and lay down on the sofa.

David:
Where did you put the book?

Betty:
I put it back up in the closet, underneath a box.

David:
That's where you had been keeping it?

Betty:
Yeah.

David:
Okay then, proceed. You took your Bible and lay down on the sofa.

Betty:
Yeah, and I was praying to God to reveal to me what it was all about. I prayed to Jesus that I didn't understand and that He would have to help me.… [
Pause
] And then certain words started coming, and at first I didn't do anything about it.

David:
Is this the first time that you got these words or knowledge when you'd been sitting with your Bible?

Betty:
I started getting those things like different words.

David:
But was this the first time?

Betty:
Yeah.

David:
When did you next look in the closet for the blue book? Was it the same day?

Betty:
No, I think it was the next day, and I was scared ‘cause it was gone and it had been entrusted in my care.
