Dearly Beloveds,
We are the Arcturians. This is the third time we have
spoken through this channel and it is with great pleasure that we do
so.
Today, we would like to speak on the nature of channelling
and why channelled messages are so varied, both in style and accuracy. |
|
|
|
There are many in your world
today that are wary of channelled messages, and with good reason. We
cannot stress highly enough, nor can the channel, of the need to use
discernment when receiving or reading channelled messages. Why is this?
Most channels mean well and genuinely want to provide beneficial information
to their students and the public. So why the problem?
The first part of this issue should be the most obvious
to those of you who have been on a spiritual path for some time. When
information is expressed through the written language or the spoken
word, it goes through several layers and levels of translation. For
the sake of simplicity, we will start at the finish line and work backward
toward the starting point with this point.
The finished product of a channelling, such as the one
you are reading, is the printed word on a page, or the spoken word in
person or on an audio recording. In some cases, you may have the privilege
of attending a channelling session in person and when you do, you also
get the mannerisms of the channel, the facial expressions and the inflection
in the words. This is obviously a superior means to simple audio or
written format, but even so, the translation difficulties will be there. |
|
|
|
So the first 'level of distortion' so to
speak, is the conveyance of meaning inherent in the words and phrases.
Let's assume, for the moment, that the channelling is 100% accurate
and that the channel has faithfully reproduced in its entirety the meaning
and intent of the source of information. "Well, that's great" you say.
But wait a minute, not all of us have the same exact ideas and concepts
for the popular 'buzz' words that inevitably make their way into conversations
in this day and age.
Suppose, for example, that the channel brings forth the
following: "Greetings dear ones, we bring you great knowledge of the
world beyond yours." Okay, that sounds fair enough. But there are several
points here to consider. What do the entities mean by 'great knowledge?'
Are they versed in facts and figures relating to their dimension of
reality, but lacking in spiritual insight? Or perhaps they have spiritual
insight, but are lacking in an effective way of communicating it to
others. And what about the 'world beyond yours.' What do they mean by
this? Are they coming from a higher density of the Radiant One's Universe,
or are they hanging out in the astral realm? This matters, because the
astral realm is not to be trusted as a reliable source of information
for the discerning soul.
More important than the words of the message is the vibration,
or energy level of the message. Sometimes the channel is able to convey
the intensity and intent of the message quite well; other times the
energy gets lost in the channel's own aura or field of vibration. If
you have attended numerous changelings, you will undoubtedly note that
some channels put you to sleep while others stimulate your curiosity.
Then there are those rare instances where the channel and entity excite
and awaken you in profound ways. |
|

In each case mentioned above, the words
might be exactly the same. So what is the difference? It is the vibratory
level of the entity and the channel. If the entity has a very refined
vibration, but the channel is heavily distorted within his/her own energy
body, a large part of the message will be lost. On the other hand, the
channel could be having a great day, but the entity could be off in
left field somewhere, unable to convey the ideas clearly.
In a perfect Universe (which we have, by the way, but
which is largely unmanifest in the Earth plane) the channel and entity
would be perfectly matched for each other and the message and messenger
would blend and interact in a way that makes the best use of the relationship
between the two entities. But sadly, this is not always the case. Why?
Oftentimes, beloveds, it is the fault of the entity or entities, and
not entirely the fault of the channel. Some entities are exuberant and
enthusiastic to the point of their downfall. They want so much to express
their wisdom to the people of your planet and they are almost desperate
to find a willing recipient to be their mouthpiece.
The channel, perhaps not being very discerning, suddenly
starts hearing messages pop into his/her head, or sees visions of an
entity, or feels the energy of an entity, and they are off to the races.
The channel might believe whatever the entity is saying. "Well, I'm
a grand master from the umpteenth dimension of love and light and I
have all the answers for a struggling humanity" the entity boasts. The
channel might respond with, "Oh goody. You've got all the answers. I
just have to tell the world." |
|
|
|
Little does the channel know that the entity
is barely vibrating in the middle latitudes of the astral plane, and
while the words may sound flowery and fluffy, the vibration sags and
people who come for lessons go around repeating these wonderful-sounding
phrases, while almost no worthwhile energy gets transmitted. Then the
channel and the students wonder why their lives are not getting better,
and why they feel drained after each channelling session.
At this point, we want to touch on the real crux of this
discussion; how to discern between ego and Spirit. The biggest problem
with channelled messages has to do with the level of filtering that
goes on between the realms of pure Spirit and the realms of ego, namely
the Earth plane and the lower astral planes. Every message, including
this one, must be transmitted from the Spirits of the entity and channel;
ultimately the same since all is One in Spirit, down through the layers
of mind and heart of the channel, and then out the mouth; or pen or
word processor, of the channel.
How much gets lost on the way to the final destination?
That depends on how much ego distortion is present in the channel, and
sadly, in the entity in many cases. In our case, and please don't blindly
believe this, we, the Arcturians, have reached a level of understanding
whereby our egos are nearly non-existent in the Earthly sense. We still
have some degree of individuality, but our overwhelming focus is on
helping humanity, and other worlds, to evolve into a greater understanding
of their Oneness with all life. So, if you'll pardon the humble admission,
the majority of distortion present in this message, if any, would likely
reside within the channel. We will and again, don't believe this without
investigating, put in a good word for the channel. We believe he is
of the highest integrity and carefully screens the words that come into
his mind to make sure there are a minimum of distortions. |

So, in our humble opinion, this channelling
is likely quite accurate and informative. But please
don't take our word for it. Put it to the test, as you should all
channelled messages. I don't care how high-fallutin' the channel's name
sounds or the entities claiming to be the source of the information.
After all, there are a whole lot of Archangel Michaels out there with
conflicting information. Will the real Archangel Michael please stand
up, or fly up? This is not to say there aren't some good 'Michael' channellings
out there. Just please use discernment. |

Okay, we’re sounding
like a broken record. Anyway, back to the litmus test for determining
the level of Spirit and ego in a message. Here it is:
(1) |
What is the message saying? Is it promoting
unity, well-being, self-empowerment, love, compassion and soul growth? |
(2) |
What is the energy of the message? Does it feel uplifting,
energizing, expanding? |
(3) |
Do I (the reader) feel it is truly helping me on
my path? Is it helping me to be more aware of myself and my many
aspects? |
(4) |
Is there any hidden agenda behind the message? Is
it engendering fear? Is it designed to make a maximum profit for
the channel? Does it glorify the channel unnecessarily? |
(5) |
Is the message given freely and without excessive
restrictions? If there is a charge for the material, is it a reasonable
sum? Does the channel spend a lot of time genuinely trying to help
people, or does it feel mostly like a sales pitch for the channel’s
services? |
(6) |
What about the life of the channel? Is the channel
walking the talk? Does the channel have loving interaction with
others in the everyday world? Is the channel relatively healthy
or seeking to live a healthy lifestyle? What is the channel’s
personal philosophy? |
|
|
Item (6) above might sound a little trite,
but rest assured that this is a very real issue. There is one channel
(we would not divulge the name) who supposedly channels the ascended
masters with messages of love and brotherhood, and yet this channel
and her followers have spent many years stockpiling weapons and embracing
a far-right political philosophy. We are not judging the beliefs of
this channel, but we are seriously questioning the discrepancy between
the messages and the life of the messenger. Is the channel's personal
fears getting in the way of her spiritual work? This is not for us to
judge, but it is for you to discern. |

There are channels out there in the world
that charge exorbitant fees for their work. We heard about one channel
that charges $800.00 for a weekend seminar. In the seminar, the channel
comes through for several hours each day and the main message is "You
are wonderful". Okay, that's fine, but do you really need to spend $800.00
to hear that? We will tell you that you are wonderful and not charge
you a cent (unless you make a love offering for a tape or transcript
of this session). Does that make us better than the other entity or
entities? No. That entity may well be a very loving and compassionate
soul. Even the channel may have his or her better moments. But is there
a distortion somewhere in this channelling? Probably.
I hear some of you arguing that if you don't charge a
lot for something, people will not recognize its value. That may be
true for some people, but certainly not for the vast majority of humans
we have worked with. The channel of this message uses a love offering
approach. Sure, it doesn't offer a lot of security. One day, he may
get a generous contribution; the next, he may end up doing all his work
'for gratis'. We are not saying this is always the best way to offer
channelled material. But we have observed that there are many sincere
seekers out there who become discouraged and do not seek out spiritual
information because of the high price tags put on some material.
I suppose, in all fairness, we should mention that how
the channel spends his/her profits may well be a factor in this equation.
If the channel spends the profits in ways that help promote peace, well-being
and harmony among humanity, then perhaps this balances out the equation. |

Please, dear ones, do not for a moment
make the inference that channels should not be prosperous or live a
good life. Everyone on Earth deserves to live in happiness, prosperity
and well-being; even those souls who are hell-bent on destroying the
Earth. We would digress from the subject momentarily to mention one
of the teachings of your beloved Jesus.
Jesus said, "Love thine enemies". We would echo that point.
Bless and send healing energy to those who would destroy what you are
trying to build. If you become disillusioned with a particular channel
or teaching, bless the channel and the entity. Genuinely wish the best
for them. The more love you send them, the more likely they are to respond.
It may be their lesson to learn how to be more compassionate when teaching.
Do not deprive them of the opportunity to heal and up level the quality
of their communication.
Well, we certainly opened a can of worms with this discussion.
The channel's fingers are probably getting tired of typing. We commend
him on being willing to publish this channelling. It may not earn him
'brownie points' or stripes on his shirt. It may even anger a few readers.
But we think this is a very important message and we are grateful he
is willing to publish it.
We will be back with more in the near future. For now,
may you all be lifted and loved and given
unto the loving arms of the Infinite Radiant One.
We are the Arcturians.
We love you and bless you. |
