Whitley’s comments from the Ask Whitley Strieber group.

I think that the food for the moon comment in All and Everything is allegorical. It refers to a decline in freedom after death for those of us who have not really waked up in our lives.

I was active in the Gurdjieff Foundation for many years, and am now working in that manner on an independent basis, because there comes a time when one must be able to self-maintain the double arrow of consciousness.

I wish I knew what the entities were. Early on, I was fairly well convinced that, in the end, they would turn out to be aliens, but I am not so sure of that now. For example, it's routine for people to find that the spirits of dead people they knew are present with the visitors. Also, frequently, people sense that the apparent aliens are members of their family. To me, this suggests that we are just at the beginning of what is going to be a long journey toward objective understanding of something that is really very enigmatic.

It was first and foremost a literal warning, in my opinion. I went to an allergist and found that I had a number of food allergies, most of them quite typical. The chocolate allergy was there, but no worse than the rest. However, he was quite concerned about the allergic reaction I was having to the visitors. In fact, it was happening to everybody who came into physical contact with them at my cabin. So we were provided with epinephrin injectors, and I would carry one with me when I went into the woods. We never had to use them, although the morning after Raven Dana touched a visitor, she had a terrific allergic response, but not enough to require emergency treatment.

The allergist was surprisingly comfortable with the whole idea of the visitors, and seemed well able to handle the concept.

With the visitors, everything that happens has multiple meanings, and the specific admonition against chocolate was probably also an effort to get me to pay attention to my desires, and work with them. (I was equally allergic to strawberries, but I liked chocolate far more.)
