The Respond.txt document dealing with resistance to alien
abduction has been greatly expanded and seriously written by John
Archer, D.Ph. (Doctor of Phenomenology), and it has been
incorporated into the website I maintain for the Trionic Research
Institute: The URL is
http://www.trionica.com/response.htm
Respond.txt is still available in a plain vanilla form from ASP-L
by sending the command 'Get-Respond.txt' (without quotes but with
the file extension) in the Subject: field of a msg to the list
address: nightflyer@mindspring.com
However, as soon as technical difficulties can be resolved, it
will incorporated into the ASP FAQ and placed into T.R.I.'s
autoresponder, info@trionica.com. It will then be available at
any time not just when I'm on-line.

One new section of "Respond" is titled: "Reshma Kamal Defeats
Alien Mindscan with Arabic Religious Phrase while Moving her Eyes
Rapidly".
Archer writes:
In his new book, The Threat, Dr. David M. Jacobs presents his
case for the view that abductees are involuntary participants in
a 'Breeding Program' conducted by aliens. Naturally, the aliens
need to control the involuntary human participants in this
program.
Without the ability to manipulate the human brain, the aliens
would be unable to control the abductees physically or mentally
and the Breeding Program would not be feasible in its present
form.
Dr. Jacobs postulates that the dreaded 'Mindscan' procedure, a
feature of many abductee reports, allows the aliens to control
the humans by 'somehow' giving the aliens access to the
abductee's optic nerve and those sections of the brain to which
it is linked. By exercising this control over the abductee's
brain, the aliens acquire the power to make the abductees see,
hear or feel whatever illusions the aliens present to them.
Notice the paradox? If Dr Jacobs postulates that aliens use this
power of illusion to delude abductees selected to participate in
the alleged breeding program then nothing in abductee reports may
be relied on.
But Dr Jacobs relies exclusively on Abductee reports to support
his thesis that aliens are conducting a breeding program with
abductees who need to be controlled by this power of illusion.
Anyway, Dr Jacobs reports one case where the nefarious plans of
these high tech mental giants were defeated by means that may be
of interest to others.
But another abductee successfully resisted mental engagement.
During a recent abduction, Reshama Kamal found that she had more
muscle control than usual and she used it to prevent a neural
connection. She shifted her eyes back and forth rapidly while
reciting an Arabic religious phrase. The first alien tried to
lock into her eyes but could not. He diverted her attention by
causing a pain in her head, and he threatened not to take her
home, but she refused to give in. Another alien took over and
increased the threats. Still she refused to stop, although she
was getting dizzy moving her eyes back and forth. A third alien
tried, and then a fourth. They could not stop her from shifting
her eyes. Eventually they gave up and said that they would
continue the procedure at the next abduction.

the Aliens Really Want ... And How They Plan to Get It". New
York: Simon & Schuster. p. 87]

If my theory is correct that Alien Abduction Experiences, AAEs,
occur when the brain is in its REM-sleep state and the body is in
the corresponding state of REM-state paralysis, but the
consciousness is nevertheless aware, then there is no mystery as
to why Ms Kamal was able to move her eyes. The eyes are not
subject to the paralyzing signal! She might have become conscious
of their movements and that may have assisted her, but it would
seem that the effectiveness of her resistance came mainly from
her recitation of the Arabic religious phrase.

Has anyone noticed the movements of their eyes during an episode
of ASP?
Dr. Jacobs does not indicate whether Ms Kamal had her eyes open
or closed while moving them about as she recited the phrase
(which was not published either)
While some ASP experiencers report being able to open their eyes
and see their surrounding --- which may be accurate or slightly
altered --- I have never been able to do this. I 'come to' in a
state of total blackness *already* struggling to open my eyes.
Somehow, it seems significant to me that the struggle preceeds
the awareness.
Anyway, when I am relaxed I might look within and 'up' and see a
distant light. I'm a little hazy on what follows but it seems
that in attending to the light I cease to attend to the feelings
of bodily immobility and I end up in a non-lucid dream that is
not remarkable except for having followed an episode of frozen
eyelids.
In other cases, I imagine myself running in the blackness. I
'receive' and feel the feelings of running, but my body does not
move. Sometimes (not often) consciousness or awareness suddenly
becomes situated in the 'running me' rather than in the 'frozen
eyelid me' and I proceed to enter a dream scene knowing it is a
dream.
