><font face="arial" size="2">some of you have just joined our list - welcome. we are currently working within a debate here that is not and should not be our normal focus. you can read the asc2k archives on egroups toview the whole thing. i have made statements regarding my opinions that have led to a lot of discussion, and this email should hopefully be the last one that i will post on this issue. </font>
><font face="arial" size="2"></font>
><font face="arial" size="2">the ultimate issue is that i am a researcher, and as one who investigates alternative physics and cosmology i must maintain certain standards of quality in my work. a very significant aspect of this quality control is to use any "channeled" material very sparingly. the material that i do use must go through the same quality controls as seen in the book on my site by francois masson called "the end of our century." that means that the channel must have documented, rigorous proof of their accuracy. in my own case there have been hundreds upon hundreds of accurate future prophecies and other means of validation that i couldn't come up with consciously and there is no room for doubt. and still, with one small exception in the global grid section of the shift of the ages, i will not use my own"channeled" materials in my scientific treatises. why?</font>
><font face="arial" size="2"></font>
><font face="arial" size="2">from personal experience i know how difficult channeling is. i know how much long-term training must occur before the work can come from the deepest levels and actually make tangible sense. i know how difficult it is to get the source to tell you information that is not directly related to your own personal growth needs or those of immediate others around you. i also know that there is the constant battle against the conscious ego self and its own needs and desires. there is no one harder to do a reading for than yourself, and earlier in my own case there are documented examples of my trying to "butt in" on the message because i didn't like what i was being told, and distort it in a different direction. </font>
><font face="arial" size="2"></font>
><font face="arial" size="2">based on this same logic, early in my development i channeled something that went along with what i felt the truth to be. at that time i considered the dodecahedron to be the highest vibration in the platonic solids and considered the true end date of the mayan calendar to be in 2039, not 2012, based on the work of maurice chatelain who equated the mayan katun cycle to jupiter-saturn conjunctions and retooled the calendar based on that. sure enough, from a state where i was well conscious enough to know what was going on, i did a whole reading about 2039 being the end and tried- there's the key word - to put the dodecahedron at the top through conscious interference with the data. i forget right now exactly how the forces turned it around but they did and i was surprised. it's like a ouija-board party where two different people are trying to move the pointer to suit their own needs. later that same day i had a much deeper trance reading that was harshly critical about my lack of quality standards in the previous one, and in that case i did not remember what i had said until i transcribed the cassette later. </font>
><font face="arial" size="2"></font>
><font face="arial" size="2">the work that i create needs to reach the largest possible audiences. i use channeled material very sparingly. one source that most are not familiar with is the law of one series, from an entity named ra. as most are already aware on this list, ra is a high-level et society that purports to have evolved from venus millions of years ago. while some of ra's teachings seem very esoteric and stretch the envelope very far, the fact is that there are a number of very specific scientific statements in the book that are either right or wrong but no halfway point. all of ra's teachings, with no exceptions, are available to the public in book form. not a single data point has been withheld, so each person can study it for themselves and draw their own conclusions.</font>
><font face="arial" size="2"></font>
><font face="arial" size="2">and since 1981, when the work was done, there has been a wealth of new scientific information that has come out and only continues to prove ra's assertions regarding cosmology and physics to bemore and more correct. so, for this reason and others, i incorporate ra's teachings. but even then, i only use those teachings of ra that can be supported with scientific research; i attempt as much as possible to shy away from using open-ended statements that lack any method of validation. such is the discipline that i must adopt for this particular project, which as larry henson expressed earlier is as complete an overview of fifth-dimensional wisdom teachings about physics and cosmology as possible. ra's teachings only point us in a certain direction and give a possible explanation for observed data; but ultimately it is the data that must carry us through the arguments, not our assumptions of truth based on ra's words. </font>
><font face="arial" size="2"></font>
><font face="arial" size="2">another popular researcher in this field is drunvalo melchizedek (dm,)born as bernard perona. in his material, beginning with the book "nothing in this book is true, but it's exactly the way things are," there is a combination of channeled material and researched material. in this case, the researched material deals predominantly with sacred geometry, the existence of the ancient civilization of atlantis and certain of its ruins and the idea of a precessional cycle that has long been believed to herald a literal dimensional shift on earth in many ancient and indigenous world teachings. in that sense, he has uncovered similar data as have i; we agree on the importance of sacred geometry, atlantis and the rapid approach of a dimensional shift. </font>
><font face="arial" size="2"></font>
><font face="arial" size="2">however, in his books and lectures, his channeled work is stated as equal fact alongside the researched work. both are woven together as being equal statements of truth. however, we have no external data to base this on; no actual transcripts of the sessions have been given, no documented prophecies of future events that came true or other data points that could be used for validation. we must believe that he tells us the truth without being able to study the words from his entity 'thoth' on our own. and to further enhance the difficulty, the channeled portions of the material do not agree with any other points in the field of well-established psychic data.</font>
><font face="arial" size="2"></font>
><font face="arial" size="2">in this field, the edgar cayce readings have essentially become the yardstick by which others must be compared, due to the overwhelming documented validity in that work. </font><font face="arial" size="2">and in the work of dm there are very few points thatcan be cross-referenced to the cayce data and a number of points that directly conflict with the cayce data. one example wouldbedm's idea that the top of thegreat pyramid is flat because it provides a landing platform for an extraterrestrial spacecraft. as the caycereadings indicated, themainstream pyramidologists were correct about the meaning of this flat top; it has symbolic importancein that itwill accept a capstone for the pyramid. when this capstoneis placed, the six-sided pyramid(including the flat top) becomes afive-sided pyramid (once the flat top has been removed.) in the ancient texts, six is the number of incompletion and imperfection and five is the number of divinity and initiation. thus, the metaphor is of humanity moving from imperfection to divinity, and this occurs at the point of the shift of the precessional cycle; hence each pair of diagonal lines on the pyramid add up to 25,827 egyptian inches, a very close value for precession.</font>
><font face="arial" size="2"></font>
><font face="arial" size="2">this is one example of uncorroborated data that is accepted as truth without proof. there are a number of other examples, some very glaring and some more subtle, and it is not my purpose to enunciate them here. many others have purported to channel information and this also contains assumptions about what is truth and what is not, and there are wild contradictions between them. this is amply demonstrated in the book "alien identities" by dr. richard thompson, who says,</font>
><font face="arial" size="2"></font>
><font face="arial" size="2">"i will refer to messages people have reported receiving from ufo humanoids as "ufo communications." however, this phrase is not meant to imply any particular conclusion about the actual origin of these messages. if we survey these messages, we find that they tend to contain a large proportion of misleading or completely false information, mixed with material that may be true... (pg. 189)"
"in conclusion, communications reported to come from ufo entities often contain certain standard themes... the communications often have a surreal quality, and htey often contradict one another. many seem to be a cross between disinformation and sheer nonsense, and many contain material found in human cultural traditions... (pg. 207)" </font>
><font face="arial" size="2"></font>
><font face="arial" size="2">we must remember that to reach the largest possible audiences, we must not make any more assumptions than are necessary; the focus must be on data. dm's work has spawned an international industry that promotes workshops teaching a specific meditation technique where the adept visualizes an interlaced tetrahedron around their body. as i stated in previous emails, the group functions as though every part of this process is precisely correct - to the point where if a person studies a different means of "merkabah" meditation, they are disbarred from further participation in the group. however, channeling of this nature must remain in the realm of the subjective; and it is interesting to point out that ra said "there is no "right way" to meditate." </font>
><font face="arial" size="2"></font>
><font face="arial" size="2">so as far as i am concerned as a researcher, this body of work does not meet the standard criteria for inclusion. in the future i will be much more reluctant to state my opinions of other researchers as i have lost days of productivity and energy now on this issue. </font>
