Channeling

[Bring4th_Steve]

Hi again everyone,

I submitted the following question to the L/L contact e-mail address yesterday, the day before they sent out the e-mail about this forum! Well, now that we have this area, I'm going to copy it to everyone here so they can weigh in with their thoughts.

I am relatively new (awakened) to the world of the metaphysical, spiritual... etc. I've noticed thus far that there are a lot of people channeling and making their information available. I don't believe that they are all of the same quality (or brightness, perhaps) though. There are those who predict lots of doom and gloom and I typically disregard it, suspecting that a negative entity is involved. But, there are also sources that are not all doom and gloom oriented, but rather fall in to the gray area (Harvey Grady who channels Monitor, for example. I suspect this is a positive source but he talks to some extent about political conspiracy). In situations like this I usually defer to my own intuition, although this can also be difficult at times. Is there perhaps something in the Q'uo material that would help someone like me filter out misguided sources of information? Failing that, has Q'uo ever been asked about other entities and how to discern positive from negative?

I'm also curious to hear what thoughts you may have on the nature of how channeling comes through and the quality of the message sent. For instance, Carla channeled Ra in a trance state in order to accommodate the narrow band frequency in which Ra communicates. Q'uo does not require this and Carla channels consciously in this case. Does the consciousness of the channeler in any way interfere, or interpret the information coming through? I have heard that the process of conscious channeling involves a fusion of the instrument and the entity's mind, and if so, should I assume that unconscious channeling is more accurate, being more 'direct'?

Thank you very much for your help.

Lavazza, I believe I have a good answer for the first part of your question.

Is there perhaps something in the Q'uo material that would help someone like me filter out misguided sources of information? Failing that, has Q'uo ever been asked about other entities and how to discern positive from negative?

You bring up a great point about the channeling that is out there already. It is indeed true that there are many sources of channeling that exist, and as you've already noticed, not all of it speaks a resonating truth. Carla often talks about one important aspect of her channeling work that I also wholeheartedly believe is the most important thing one can do before channeling, but is often not done--Challenging the source of the information against the highest truth that you know, such as in the name of Love. It is also importnat to protect yourself in white light or the blessing of the Infinite Creator, and then to ask for the highest vibration information you are personally capable of receiving. Once people begin receiving information that they feel is coming from another source, they miss that most important task of challenging the entity! It seems so many channelers don't care (or are unaware) about qualifying who's on the other line! They just excitedly take in the information, and form a trust with this source of information, who at first may play nice by offering loving comments that help you to feel good. But soon enough, without any challenging of the entity, the channeler is susceptible to having the entity slowly slip in its Service to Self agenda, which slowly detunes the channeler to the point that he or she barely recognizes their own negativity. It's subtle, but it happens. The other negative circumstance that occurs is that you might have a very loving being on the other line, but without challenging who you're talking to each and every time, entities can sometimes pull a "bait and switch" on you, and act like the entity you were just speaking to. In the same manner, they will then detune the messages of love by slipping in their STS information.

When you read materials online, you can generally "feel" whether something is coming through clearly or not. That is probably your best radar.

There's one other complication that I need to throw in here. There are many channelers who call in entities who are of the inner planes. And when this happens, the entities can speak about transient and world events without infringing upon will, because they have already had a human incarnation and are allowed to speak what they know in order to serve. But again, unless that entity is challenged as a Christ conscious entity, your mileage will vary as far as the genuineness of the content.

In those cases where I read messages about love that also incorporate transient information about conspiracy theories, I simply move on. There are far too many sources of information out there that don't water down the message of love with earth events. I don't need to get wrapped up in fear for no reason, right?


Now regarding your second question.. You are right.. Conscious channeling can introduce more "noise" into the mix because the human intstrument has to interpret the thoughts that are coming to mind in conscious channeling. When Carla did her trance channeling, the entity had used Carla's body while Carla "stood by" waiting to get back in when the session was done. This means that Ra was speaking through her directly, and Carla did not have to interpret the message coming through. But as I said above, the great thing is that if you challenge your sources when you channel consciously, you are bound to get messages of love that are just as pure as one who is trance channeling. Because the channeler is tuned to love, and the entity giving information is tuned to love.

Hope that helps!
Steve
