A Warning Regarding Channeled Messages

It has been brought to this writer's attention that recent postings of work received by Barbara Marx Hubbard are astrally-inspired. As such, their value to those who wish to rise above the lower nature is minimal to none.

The astral plane has peculiar attributes. One of these is reflection. Concepts can be distorted and misinterpreted by the entities that reside there. These entities will sometimes attempt to communicate concepts and ideas to incarnate humans on the physical plane. Some (called light-spirits) attempt this communication with what they feel are their best intentions to "enlighten" humanity. Others have more nefarious purposes, such as a desire to purposely mislead and further entrap in the Great Illusion as many souls as possible.

Both groups have access to much esoteric information as well as the ability to impersonate divine personages. The majority are still ego-bound, and are therefore usually operating with some personal goal or reward in mind.

Because of these facts, and due to our ignorance of them, all channeled material one views should be vetted by the heart for resonance. If the message sounds as if it is of a personal nature, if there is a lot of "I" and "me", or indications of an entity placing themselves as "higher" than those to whom it is in communication with, these are signs of astral authorship.

That said, not all channeled messages emanate from the astral plane. Although much more rare, communications do come from even higher levels, and are recognizable by their higher vibratory content. Of course, if one is not currently vibrating in resonance to that content, it will probably be difficult to understand, or may even be passed up completely.

This writer is not a guru, initiate, etc. As such, this writer is not infallible. In the presentation of material, if care is not exercised, mistakes will be made. Sometimes, exuberance can become one's worst enemy.

So, please, everyone. Always exercise discernment when reviewing any channeled material. Even if your own mother recommends it, or Buddha/Jesus/Krishna appears to you in your bedroom, that does not imply that you must accept without question. The final arbiter is your own heart. We here in physical incarnation are laboring under several handicaps. There are a lot of things we are currently unaware of, or have forgotten. This places us in position to be constantly taken advantage of and misled. To attempt to avoid this, a rule of thumb: always look for the 'personal' energy in a message. If there is an element of personal ego in a message, it is probably coming through from the astral realms.

My apologies for not posting a message like this sooner. Be careful out there. The world is currently a minefield of information right now, most of it misleading or completely false. There's nothing wrong with evaluating any and everything one comes across. Just don't fall into the trap of accepting a source as divine when it is not.
