Walking Among Us MP3 CD – Unabridged, September 1, 2015

Dr. David M. Jacobs has a long history in ufology, and since the eighties, he has been one of the foremost researchers of the UFO abduction phenomenon. This is his third book on his abduction research (not including "UFOs and Abductions: Challenging the Borders of Knowledge," which he edited and contributed to).Looking back on Dr. Jacobs' two previous abduction books "Secret Life" (1992) and "The Threat" (1998) you can see how his perception of the phenomenon has evolved over time. In "Secret Life" he was merely studying the phenomenon, laying out patterns he had found, and examining what the abduction experience was like. Apart from confirming Budd Hopkins' findings that the phenomenon involved "hybridization," he had little to say about what the ultimate reason for the abduction phenomenon might be. With "The Threat" he made the bold assertion that the alien agenda was something bad, and the abduction phenomenon was essentially the beginning of a covert invasion, with the ultimate goal of taking control of our civilization. "The Threat" included some cases in which abductees had experienced abusive treatment by hybrids, countering the New Age view that human-alien hybrids would necessarily be spiritually advanced beings who possessed only the best traits of both species."Walking Among Us: The Alien Plan to Control Humanity" (2015) presents essentially the same conclusion about the purpose of the abduction phenomenon that was presented in "The Threat" (1998). Dr. Jacobs' negative view of the alien agenda doesn't seem to have changed much over the past seventeen years. I would say that he also doesn't present much evidence to support it, which is the same basic criticism I had of "The Threat." What the evidence presented in "Walking Among Us" *does* show is what the hybrids can do, and how they function. It makes a strong case that some of them are now walking and, indeed, living among us, based on the recollections of the abductees that Dr. Jacobs has worked with.The meat of "Walking Among Us" consists primarily of abductee accounts of working with hybrids to show them how to perform such mundane tasks as shopping for groceries, making online purchases, setting up an apartment, or using a kitchen faucet. If you want to know what human-looking hybrids (hubrids, as Dr. Jacobs calls them) are like, this is the book for you. There is something about their childlike naivete and dutiful nature that is both humorous and endearing, and this comes across in the accounts, making for an enjoyable read regardless of whether or not you believe that such beings exist.Of course, there will always be controversy regarding whether or not these hybrids exist, as many people still don't believe in even the small gray aliens that have been so widely reported for decades. Critics of abduction research will always point to the fallibility of hypnotic regression and the possibility of confabulation to cast doubt on the abduction data, but they ignore the importance of multiple-participant abduction cases, and other arguments in favor of the value of regression in this research. Jacobs doesn't spend a lot of time discussing these issues in his new work, but he has addressed them at length in previous writings.So are the hybrids really here? Are they moving into apartments and learning to live among us, as Dr. Jacobs claims in "Walking Among Us"? The phenomenon is, by nature, secretive and concerned with security. The aliens and to some degree the hybrids, can manipulate human minds and human memory, and this can be used to influence or control our behavior, as well as to cause us to forget our encounters with them. If that's the case, it will be very difficult to determine what's really going on. So it's up to you to read the book and decide for yourself what you believe.Dr. Jacobs' approach to abduction research is reductionist. In other words, he seems to be trying to simplify an incredibly complex phenomenon, that touches on many aspects of the paranormal, into a single, coherent theory of an alien agenda carried out by essentially one group of abducting aliens operating under a unified command structure. This approach stands in sharp contrast to other researchers, who are interested in the diverse descriptions of alien beings and contact experiences, and the many paranormal, or even spiritual, aspects of the phenomenon.It's also worth considering that Dr. Jacobs is fairly rigid in his use of terminology. He refers to brains and neurological abilities, rather than to minds and psychic abilities. From my point of view, it seems clear that Dr. Jacobs has a certain bias, possibly rooted in his mid 20th century upbringing, in terms of how he thinks about the concept of aliens, their technology, and their abilities. He doesn't talk about nonlocality, quantum information, the nature of consciousness, or any of the increasingly mainstream ideas that have overturned the old scientific paradigm of reductionist materialism.I feel that, at some level, Dr. Jacobs is still trying to "sell" the abduction phenomenon to the scientific community, but the scientific community he's trying to sell it to is the one that existed thirty years ago, when he was new to this research. Science is closing in on its next major paradigm shift. Once that happens, I think the abilities that the aliens display, and related paranormal phenomena, will not seem so far-fetched or unnatural as they once did.One final point that needs to be mentioned. Dr. Jacobs talks about his scenario of what an alien takeover might look like, and how that could be a bad thing for the human future. What he doesn't talk much about is what the alternative would be. What kind of future would we have if the abduction phenomenon did not exist, if hybrids did not exist, and if the alien agenda did not involve integrating hybrids into our society? Would we really be collectively better off without this phenomenon? Dr. Jacobs' data (consisting of the abductee accounts) does *not* point to his conclusion (a takeover in which humanity loses its sovereignty and freedom). I think the ultimately negative conclusion that Dr. Jacobs reaches is a projection of his own worldview, and possibly lingering Cold War fears.

A quick glance at the reviews tells skeptics a lot - David Jacobs is not just some fly by night UFO nutjob out for easy bucks from gullible readers. Indeed, this being only his third book, we are confronted with a possibly horrific not so distant future if his extra careful studies, gathering of evidence and raising the skills of a hypnotist to as professional as they come are anywhere near accurate. Granted, most if not all "evidence" is from life long UFO abductees, and usually his best subjects provide the most material. What is chilling about this scenario is how uniform accounts are from many subject/abductees who do not and have never known one another. While some "events" no doubt can be fantasy, and misleading pure crap from unscrupulous hypnotists who are out for their own agendas, such as the popular theory that our alien visitors are benevolent and here to "help" us. It's nice, but channelling (the fiction that a poorly guided hypnosis subject can often report as "fact") and just plain lying mar the approach from these New World "positives", as Jacobs refers to them. This is as much a warning as we may get. The cute little gray aliens we see in movies and most common descriptions are part of a sinister scheme to achieve total control of the human race through breeding and hybridization. Without getting too descriptive, Jacobs theorizes a very frightening situation that could possibly be underway as we exist right now. And really, how far fetched is it that some alien species is out to colonize or otherwise subject entire planetary intelligent life to their objectives and uses? May I remind those who are laughing right now that we as humans have been doing exactly the same thing since we became homo sapiens. First it was continental settlement, then using the Asian/Indian continent to settle Europe, all of Asia and Australia, and finally thanks to a land bridge that once existed between the now Russian and U.S. mainlands in the Arctic, made way all the way to Tierra Del Fuego. Then of course, came politicians, war mongers and nationalism and tribalism that guaranteed the world would be subject to attack from within from the first use of a any kind of weapon against our fellow human to today's threats of nuclear holocaust. The space program was hailed as a wonderful science event, and it was, but it was as much about conquest of first the Moon, and eventually traveling to Mars and beyond the Solar System in search of life and resources. Is anybody naive enough to think that Earthlings wouldn't plunder and exploit whatever it found useful on other worlds if we were sure we could beat any civilization that may already be there? So to me, the possibility of our planet being subject to a much more sophisticated and secretive program that may be attempting the same thing is logical and while it can't be proven at the moment, to ignore the stories and warnings this book covers would be monumentally stupid. We know UFO's are out there. There is no doubt in my mind about that, because possible millions have seen these craft and very reputable folks at that from all levels of society. "Walking Among Us" is indeed a troubling book. Jacobs combines his scholarly knowledge with straight forward narrative that is compassionate, entirely selfless, and very insightful. Nothing of the usual sensationalist yellow rag reporting exists here, and Jacobs himself admits he is very troubled and knows people will be at the best, skeptic, and at the worst, consider him bonkers. That humility and earnestness merits respect, whether we "believe" or not. I recommend starting with "Secret Lives", which focused on procedures on abductees, then to "The Threat" which goes further into the details, and "Walking Among Us", which is the culmination and ultimate warning he is brave enough to risk publishing.

Wow! Very interesting! I've read many other books and saw video's that prepared me for this. I believe it is true! It's shocking but I believe it's where we are now. I have even contacted the writer but haven't heard back from him yet.

I have been a physician since 1986, and have been reading many books on the UFO phenomena since High School. This is my most favorite book on the UFO phenomena. It is scary what is happening to us. You all need to take the red pill and read this book!

Muy buen libro con muy buena información

I have read this book in a day and a half and I am glad I did. It made me understand that there really is no point in reading books written by abductees themselves focusing on their own accounts as these are the victims of manipulations who are only allowed to communicate their experiences to spread perceived positive aspects of what is being done to them otherwise there would be consequences for speaking the truth. I long thought that there was something off about those who try to shine a divine and spiritual light on their experiences, it always felt like they lack ability to critically think (or thar ability is taken away from them). David shows how the victims need to be treated, well as victims of psychological and cognitive abuse and their accounts need to be researched by external parties. I have learned to think of those ETs as not advanced but more a type of persistent and effective pest. They are good at what they are doing but they seriously lack in other areas that humans are capable in. It is a bit like dealing with a collective army of programmed insects who just do what they told, their is no depth to their existence and certainly no meaning. They don't understand arts, love, compassion, freedom, free will and independence. Their existence is sad and robotic. Take their skills of control and manipulation away and they really have nothing. I can only hope that humanity will be strong enough in their commitment to the truth. ETs make mistakes, they are not perfect, there are opportunities in that. It certainly feels like now more than ever humans need to find strength to fight the tendency to ignorance and positive thinking at all cost.

David Jacobs book is well written and very readable, detailing the results of his many years highly focussed research, continuing on from his previous books on this subject.It seems that only victims of abduction by one specific ( but very prevalent ) intrusive alien syndicate get in touch with David Jacobs. They are the victims of the 'greys' abduction program ( aided by reptalin hybrids and under direction of insectalin 'masters' ). These human abductees are used to provide ova and sperm for use in the hybridisation program with 'grey humanoids'; successive generations of ( or 'production runs' of ) which are becoming more and more human-looking and behaving ~ while retaining alien psychological attributes and allegiance.I think David Jacobs is correct in many of his deductions and right to voice the hypotheses that he does: but it seems that he has not researched the evidence relating to the many other species or races of human and humanoid extraterrestrials who have been visiting Earth during 20th / 21st centuries ~ and their many well attested to interactions with 'indigenous Earth human beings', many of which interactions and 'abductions' are reported to have been benign and not for the purposes of this alien-human hybridisation program with which David Jacobs has been quite rightly very concerned.Knowing of the prevalence of 'Homo Sapiens' and closely related humanoid species societies throughout 'our' and other galaxies ~ and the levels of accomplishment that some of their civilisations have reached ........... gives me cause to hope and even expect that the outcome of this very prevalent and pervasive genetic meddling with populations on Earth will not be as bad for Homo Sapiens humans' future as the author expects. People with Homo Sapiens genome _are_ capable of very great transcendental accomplishments. He whom we refer to as 'Jesus Christ' ( and many other great human beings ) achieved what they did despite or because of their Homo Sapiens genome. Humans have more potential than David Jacobs seems to allow for; but probably the 'insectalin and grey' abductors are specifically targeting those individuals incapable of mounting much resistance. " alienresistance " org are to be complemented for demonstrating from the experience of others that the threat to which David Jacobs refers and describes at very great length _can_ be countered, at least at an individual if not overall societal level.This book is an excellent read and of key importance to understanding one major part of the puzzle of many alien-human interractions on Earth during ( and both before and after ) our short homo sapiens lifetimes.
