LOO rereading and there being 'only identity'

[Diana]

So what about new channels of information such as the Ra contact? It was made in the 1980s. If someone were to channel Ra again, such as Pamela Aaralyn, would this information be considered as legitimate as the 1980s?

Humans tend to ascribe authority to old things. This obsession with the past, once again. The older they are, the "more authority and gravitas"!

You are missing one point in this matter. It's trendy now to channel. This is one reason why something from "the past" seems, or actually is, more legitimate. I have self-help, spiritual-type books from the late 1800s and early-to-mid 1900s, which are so much more authentic and original than something one might read that was published in the last decade. Much of this stuff today is just repeating what someone else said—missing the power of true inspiration, and watered down with things such as what the market wants, demographics, and what will get hits on Youtube.

As for the Ra Material, this was channeled before, or at the very beginning of the great wave of channeling and rhetoric in the "new age" movement, and therefore, to me, is more pure in both intent and content.
