    Interesting news appear today.

    We received a Skype message by Simon's former (and probably again) collaborator Fran, who said he wants to apologize and resume the treatment where it was left off.

    On Simon's web site, he is publicly apologizing for doing harm to people, with the following message:
    A very big thank you to Fran for making me aware of how the Draco I called 'Dad' had been using me to attack people and women in particular. I am really pleased to say that I have expelled him from my life and I'm very sorry for any harm or distress that he has caused others using me.
    The portrait of the creature he called "Dad" (a white reptile), has been replaced with this message: "Dad, out of my life forever"

    Very interesting, thank you very much, Alberto e Daniela. yet remained to be seen (not that Simon awes anything to anyone in 'proving' this but to himself, this is pretty much a personal thing first and foremost), not an easy move or acknowledgment, but if true than very courageous and deserves much respect.

    This is all so bizarre. So he admits his abuse, but blames it on an interdimensional being? Sounds a little too convenient. But what do I know. I don't even believe in mantis or dracos. I think it's all funny, except he's been going around telling people their soul parts are this or that. Yea, bizarre to say the least.

    This should be something he addresses in his next radio show or interview.

    Hi Biff, the climate of our world and our humanity is very different than what we were told it is, I think Simon and many others, other researchers, experiencers, whistleblowers, past politicians like Hellyer etc, knows it and communicate it for others to catch up. Communicating it delicately is a key when facing the public or individuals, because, as you say - it's bizzar to our unknowledgble selves that was born on this controlled planet, and quite difficult to grasp if not eperienced or been observed yourself. This is a gradual process, this awarness will not catch at once and those beings do try to stop and delay these revelations (of their subjagating on us) at any cost. Also at the cost of impacting and manipulating people's thoughts, emotions and patterns of behaviour. That is not said to take responsibility off ourselves at all, but on the contrary - to strengthen ourselves when knowing that responsibility can be taken while understanding those patterns while those attempts are taking place. Together in knowledge we are stronger.

    The alien agenda(s) (there are quite few..), whatever it is, should not get our consent. None of these have informed us on the real situations and do not empower us one bit, unless it is useful for them. We ought to pay attention to the psychology that is being played. That does not mean staying alone in the galaxy, but chosing our friends carefully is important

    Here is an excrept that describes pretty well what's going on and how orchastrations are being carried away (From the 'Alies of humanity' by Marshal vian summers) -

    Quote "So, while the visitors seek laison with individuals in positions of power in government and religion, they also seek to establish emissaries throughout the human population. For those sensitive individuals who can not become receptive to and cooperative with the intervention, their skills and abilities will be thwarted and offset. If such an individuals begin to gain insight into the real nature of the intervention , they can become the target of real mental disruption. In addition, amongst the sensitives and the psychics, there will be a search for those few individuals living in the world today who have an inborn and intuitive awarness of the depositories. The search for those individuals is underway.

    This is a very difficult and dangerous situation, for the visitors will use human allegience and their human emissaries to carry out their activities in the world. It will not be the visitors who will destroy those who will not and can not cooperate, it will be the visitors' human counterparts, their human representatives, who will carry out such destruction. In this way, the real nature and purpose of the intervention remains hidden and such acts will simply be attributed to human violence and demonstrate the need for the intervention..

    in this way, through the eyes of the intervention, those who oppose the intervention and those who can not willingly support it will be identified and will be sorted out amongst the many people who dwell in your world. And the sifting will happen at the level of human interaction.

    It is far easier to govern one who believes in your cause and is cooperative than it is one who is simply being subjugated. Humanity has great strength to throw off the shackles of subjugation. And so the intervention will seek to use these inducements to gain as much cooperation and as much belief in their presence and in their cause as is possible. They will employ individuals in positions of power, those who have great sensitivites and psychic abilities and those who are zealous representatives to foster and generate such cooperation."
    We better refuse those subjagations anymore. Freedom is freedom, there is no half of it

    A good suggestion I was once fortunate to recieve - "When you are being offered two choices take the third one, or create a fourth and a fifth.." but when we are children we do not and can not know about it. Simon Parkes had to chose one of a two, where the third was not an option viable for him, but it may be the only option for freedom, for him personally and for us collectively - that is the third.

    All is a learning and re-membering to us all, but the way to seprate us will not work anymore. We need each other and each other's capabilities and understandings. Divide and rule won't work anymore while we are beginning to understand and grasp those dimensions and their power on us (via our human opperssed 'illiteracy' on the dimensional on-going), untill this grasp will diminish

    Many good blessings ~

    Hi Limor. Trust me I believe in aliens out there, I'm just one of those more skeptical when it comes to believing every kooky contactee. I've seen no proof from any of them, and I've researched them all including Simon and Corey Goode, two of the latest contactees to come around. They are a special kind of 'crazy' in my book, contactees are.

    If anything I lean toward the government psyop angle where real contactees like Leah Hailey suggest abductions and contacts are screen memories.

    Thanks for your response. I know it all can be complicated and confusing.

    We're taking about a supposed deprogrammer admitting to abuse and blaming it on a demon, pretty much. How long was Simon under the influence of his daddy draco?

    It is natural for anyone who hasn't experienced contact from ET/EB to doubt the reality of contact with them but please don't be too quick to label contactees as crazy, that's hurtful and dismissive.

    My son was just a toddler when he told me about his trips with the "ghosts to their corners" at night. He told me they would come and pick him up in a hotwheels car and take him. He told me that one night when I woke him up after I found him on the floor again, when I went to check on him.

    He also had an "imaginary friend" up until he was around 11 years old. I suspected he was a spirit at first because my son's interactions with him were too real to believe he was just imagining him and there was other paranormal activity about my son. I didn't want to frighten him by suggesting he was real, just in case my son didn't realise he was, but one day it spooked me so I asked my son why he called Mr Nobody an imaginary friend. My son said because nobody else could see him, and he went on to confirm he knew he was real. My son seemed to love him and Mr Nobody made him happy so it didn't bother me until I became concerned that he was messing with my son and I. He was calling our names out and trying to scare me, things like that. It wasn't until my son willed him out of his life, after I brought my concerns up with him, that my son confessed to getting into trouble because of things Mr Nobody told him to do. For example, the time my son had thrown his Buzz Lightyear toy and dented the car because he thought it would fly - Mr Nobody had told him Buzz would fly if he threw him at the car. My son used to cover for Mr Nobody, he can't remember why, he can't remember if he told him not to tell me or if he just chose not to tell me.

    People say there's no evidence, but what evidence would satisfy? I have photographic evidence of a large violet orb like energy who was with my son for hours on his 11th brirthday but unless you took those photos yourself, how can you know they haven't been photoshopped?

    Like I said, my son was only a little boy, he's not crazy now and he wasn't crazy then. I get that it sounds and seems crazy, but it's real. I can't see how military operations can explain all I've seen with my son, if it is then they are working in extra dimensions as well, but even then it doesn't explain everything.

    With that said, I wish to implore Simon to take some time to take care of himself first before he continues with helping others. I've wondered how much Mr Nobody would have affected and influenced my son had he still been in his life today. Be careful, Simon, Mr Nodoby still watches, it's just that it's from a distance now.

    Hey all. I am no expert on the matter, but just wanted to throw my 5 cents worth (of positive energy ), but what if everything Simon has to offer or share is in his mind the absolute truth and knowledge he has been given/taught/learnt/experienced etc in his life. So whether programmed, mind controlled or nothing at all, he is under the idea he is giving out all he knows, be it truth, half truth or completely false.
    Just saying that he might have the best intentions in using and sharing what he believes to be true.

    Personally, I enjoy reading/watching etc Simon's updates. Just like watching a David Icke; Graham Hancock or John Lear release (no finger pointing here, just chose 3 random people!), just to name a few, I am the one that will choose what information to take from whom and do my own extensive research on the information I feel is truthful and helpful. If there is information shared that I feel is not trustworthy or believable, I further research and ask about these matters to confirm my feelings. Generally I find my initial inner intuition was correct from the start.

    Thanks to all for all your input though. Always good to hear personal experiences and thoughts!

    Stay positive all! Our collective consciousness needs to stay strong!

    I just wanted to add that I shared my information to show that some of what Simon claims doesn't seem so crazy to some and why, but it still doesn't excuse causing others harm. We still have to take responsibility for our actions, whether our actions were influenced by others or not. For a start, it seems like Simon could do with developing his self awareness a lot more. The bottom line is that no matter what the circumstances are, and only Simon can know the truth of his circumstances for certain, the responsibility falls squarely on our own shoulders.

    What a steaming pile. Omg! His Draco dad made him do it! LOL. And I give plenty of credence to abductions, have been interfered with in many different ways myself.

    But Simon doesn't pass the sniff test. He's a conman currying fear and encouraging people to fixate on experiences they should be distracting themselves from if at all possible.

    Possession experiences straddle the objective and subjective realms. They are mentally state specific. One MUST wrench their minds away from them and become absorbed in mundane matters. In other words, try not to think about it. It doesn't just feed on your emotions. It feeds on your thoughts...angled towards 'it'.

    The bottom line is that it certainly seems to me that the people who shared their experiences here were being truthful and are owed an apology by those who implied they were not.

    It takes courage to share and this has great value for those who have experienced similar

    This was basically a conspiracy theory forum but best to be open minded till the truth emerges and it has.
    Simon has been big enough to apologize all credit to him

    In order to consider his recent change as meaningful, some clarifications are now necessary from Simon

    1) which techniques his "Dad" has used onto the subjects that Simon was counseling
    2) which consequences this has left inside of them
    3) what was the purpose of the strange conduct he was having (starting contacts without finishing)
    4) why he is crediting Fran for showing him the truth of his "Dad" 's manipulations, and not others (we know whom) who had exposed his bad activities (nightly "visits" to women he had made contact with) in clear terms on the Connecting Consciousness fb group months ago
    5) what level of self awareness he believes he has, which lets him act under a massive alien control, while claiming to be able to help others get rid of that same problem
    6) where was all his star family, mantids, when he needed to know about this problem: why did they let him make so much damage, and a fool of himself for years?

    any serious Interview with Simon from now on, with Jay Pee, with Kerry, or whoever, must include these questions at the very beginning, otherwise this (supposed, for now) event will only turn into advertising to his advantage

    Oh yes there is such a thing as "Damage limitation"

    The lower astral feeds on fear and promotes it.
    It is possible to give information even warnings without promoting fear.

    I believe there are aliens but I think they are given a bad press---the majority are possibly "good guys"

    The thread is really about what Simon did during counseling sessions and any long tern affects.
    It keeps coming back to Simon being the main topic--not those who were counseled--though obviously he was there too.

    The video on this link about abuse at a young age may be helpful.
    Its also about recovery.

    Hi Greybeard,

    I didn't mean to disparage anybody who is having these experiences. I KNOW they are real. I should have qualified my remarks though. Fof those going through a very similar experience to what my friends and I went through, the best thing to do is give up any interest and focus on it. That worked like a charm...for us.

    As far as Simon goes, his post abuse 'apology,' seems more like a blistering self indictment. First of all admitting to being abusive to women, in particular, when cornered, is just that -- pleading guilty. But with the explanation that he is essentially demon possessed so not responsible for his actions. I don't buy it.

    People who are possessed, hear voices, have limited self will, do not have his demeanor. He seems to have a very big ego. These experiences should have an ego-dystonic effect on the one effected. He seems to be more like a trickster, mythological speaking. Big ego and laugh out loud explanations for horrendous behavior.

    The bottom line is that it certainly seems to me that the people who shared their experiences here were being truthful and are owed an apology by those who implied they were not.

    It takes courage to share and this has great value for those who have experienced similar

    This was basically a conspiracy theory forum but best to be open minded till the truth emerges and it has.
    Simon has been big enough to apologize all credit to him

    Quote A very big thank you to Fran for making me aware of how the Draco I called 'Dad' had been using me to attack people and women in particular. I am really pleased to say that I have expelled him from my life and I'm very sorry for any harm or distress that he has caused others using me.
    Quote from his website.



    greybeard, I always appreciate your wisdom, but in this case I will agree to disagree. I feel his apology is absurd and patently dismissive. Having been a psychiatric nurse for part of my career, if I were to dismiss my inappropriate behavior with clients by blaming it on my parent, then flippantly state it's all better now because my parent is now expelled from my life is just plain childish.

    In your counseling work have you ever had grown adults that are still blaming their problems and behaviors on their parents? What do you do for such an individual? While understanding that we have all been influenced by our parents, someone that continues to blame a parent into adulthood and avoids taking any personal responsibility for their actions is someone that has little to no self realization in my book. That is someone that has absolutely no business counseling others.

    I do not doubt in any way that people have had all kinds of experience of a paranormal nature. I do understand their desperation in seeking someone to guide them, but after seeing that apology and his behavior with children , I feel more then ever that he is a big, huge, monstrous case of BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!! And I would put a million red flags after that if I could. I do not want to see any more of you exploited.

    Please consider what I wrote here. No mature , integrated adult is going to blame his behavior on his parent, and then have the audacity to claim it's all good because he has ejected him out of his life with the snap of his fingers. If it was that simple why would anyone need a therapist to rid them of these guys???? Things just don't add up here guys.

    Yes peterpam.
    I agree whole heartedly with your comments and evaluation.
    On reflection I was too quick to accept the apology at face value --I had not read all of it--I should have,

    I got into trouble a long, long while ago for saying Simon was speaking rubbish--I did not use that word.
    Even had a mod visit me because some one had complained about this. I had to apologize for miss calling a member (Simon)
    I was part joking but it miss fired..
    Well seems I might have been right in the first place.
    I might be a little too quick to see both sides of a story.

    We are as we are/

    Chris

    Ps The Teal Swan video I posted on the split thread Peterpam is well worth a look at from a psychiatric point of view--she is still working through issues ---boy is she very clever with her answers and point of view---she made me think--not saying I agree with everything she says but at one level it really makes sense.

    I agree in part with both Greybeard, and Peterpam. In that the people who wrote their experiences took courage, and they should be separated from Simon's previous deeds. However I agree with how Peterpam feels about taking responsibility for their own actions. Trust is something earned, and after such deeds Simon did to people, he destroyed that trust with many people, and even if forgiven of such, it would take a long time to earn that trust back, if ever. This is where personal discernment would come in

    Well, these demons sure get around.

    A few days ago I got a PM from a member about this affair, who did not want to post openly, concerned she would be identified. But she told me I could share any part of her PM publicly if I felt it helpful or appropriate. Well, now it is.

    This member had consulted Simon indirectly about the allegations from abused or disappointed counseling clients, and was told that
    Quote He [Simon] is fully aware of what is going on at the Project Avalon Forum and is sad to know that the forum is experiencing demonic attacks.
    Simon's response was undated in the PM I received, but it was something like 7-10 days ago. As the saying goes, a week is a long time in politics.
