Thank you for having brought this topic to my attention, I can't say exactly how it slipped away from my sight for such a long time.

No! When people would speak of such things, I would smile. I
did not think it was impossible, but I thought it was probably
not so.
...and this is from Thiaoouba Prophecy: (emphasis mine)
I had often spoken with friends of ‘flying saucers’ and was persuaded that they did, in fact, exist - but when you are actually faced with the reality, so many questions cloud your brain that you think it will burst.
Anyone?
Well I've been reading all that was said about it, I must say I don't see any problem at all because of the following reasons:
1- It is obvious from the quoted text of the interview that before his abduction Michel has 'often' talked with his friends about aliens and flying saucers even though it must have taken a lot of time for him to take some arguments seriously and consider them possible enough to be 'persuaded' by them. Notice the notions "I did not think is was impossible", "it was propably not so" and "was persuaded that they did, in fact, exist".
2- It is obvious that Michel had a lot in his mind about aliens and flying saucers to the point that when according to his words as he faced reality "so many questions clouded his brain that he thought it will burst"
The apparent cotradiction that you detected in Michels words is biased with your own misunderstanding.

As you whish, call it whatever you want; according to Michel experiencing the feelings of other people via their common higher self is not a disease. Look here:
unusual realities
hallucinations
delusions
disordered thinking
unusual emotional expression
social withdrawal
This is what those good doctors think about the spiritual side of the reality you experience within and through your self. Do you agree with it? I don't. In fact as they havn't detected the external effect of foreign feelings on the subjects suspected with schizophrenia they have left this side of the equation unexplored and are continuing to ignore it. Well I can't consider their health advice to be of any value as all they came up with is 'unusual' 'hallucinations' 'disorders' etc. note these words... It's obvious that they don't have a clue as to what they are talking about. Can you call this a scientific approach? changing medical terms hasn't helped anyone understanding anything either.
I'm asking you now: Can an inappropriate way of adressing the matter, lead to compelxions and diseases or not?

From the japanese interviews of Michel I came to know his exact view upon America and their plans of total world domination, anyway reagrdless of what Michel thinks the message fro the people of thiaoouba is clear: no counrty has the right to dominate over other people of our planet thorugh any totalitarian and militrary means. I believe Michel has naturally had his share of doubts and learning toward all the periods of the history of our planet. The fact is that these discussions are all local, the mainstream guidelines are given, and Dictatorship, Racism, Sexism, Fanticism, Militarism, Totalitarism, etc. are all condemned.
