Welcome to the forum, lightning! 
You're not alone at all. You and I come from a similar angle of understanding. For example, I'm omnivorous because I listen to my body and its desires, while remaining aware and respectful of what exactly I'm consuming.
I don't think conspiracy theories are all true, or go chasing after knowledge of them. Yet I don't think our government always takes the effort or has the will to tell the citizens the full truth. I interpret things as I see them. For example, what happened on 9/11 was a huge loss of life brought about by hatred. Those who feel outcast from society, I believe, are usually the ones who spin the conspiracy theories in an attempt to be heard or gain respect. People with this mindset are apt to throwing information out there through channeling, even though it may not even really be channeling. It has the potential to be seen as a key to power/to gain followers.
I'm not involved in politics at all. I don't see politicians, I see people and their paths of learning.
But I find the channeled material that is the Law of One to be incredibly inspiring and it speaks to something deep within me. I think that's why we're all here. I'm amazed and grateful that this forum exists to connect those who are inspired by the information!
I think that whenever you read the teachings of another, you should use discernment. Whenever I pick up a new book or read anything, including channeled material, I always think "I don't have to identify with this material. It was out here in the world before I read it. It will be here after I read it. I am just picking up the information, seeing how it reflects within me, and moving along." So I use skepticism when Ra talks about bigfoot or martians. Those concepts simply aren't relevant to my spiritual path right now, so they "slide off". It's not that they're ignored. It's just like having a tool in the toolbox that's not used. Also, we have to take into account that Ra was lead by Don's questioning. Ra didn't choose the questions or preach.
I'll see you around, and please, continue to be honest with yourself! It's the fastest way to learn about yourself!
