The dangers of channeling

[Sandy]

below is some very sane information with regard to channeling and the
dark forces.

s



the sinister side of the new age


with all the great potential for unprecedented light and rapid
spiritual progress in the world today, it is of little surprise to
note that the forces of selfishness (evil) are also particularly
engrossed in their own kind of work upon earth. they are, once again
as always, vying for attention by perpetrating all kinds of guileful
antics as they endeavour to gain for themselves as much attention and
power as they are able to grasp. the age-old struggle between good
and evil is again evincing itself here upon earth, and is, to a
growing number of awakening individuals, especially noticeable today
as the dawning light of the new day is throwing shadows in all
directions.

as greater light continues to illuminate the planetary consciousness,
darkness is necessarily accentuated, for where there is light there
must exist its corresponding shadow, or contrast, for in a dualistic
universe one cannot exist and is meaningless without the other. more
specifically, there has existed for millions of years a great
protective barrier of spiritual force around our planet that was
instigated and has been dutifully maintained by the earth's own
planetary hierarchy. this ethereal bulwark regulates the incoming
flow of various energies, forces and souls to earth, while it also
functions as a shield from cosmic evil. without such a measure
humanity would have experienced much greater oppression and hardship
than that which it has known heretofore. in this time leading up to
the birth of the new world, certain doorways are being opened in the
barrier in order to allow for a larger influx of benign entities into
our earthly sphere where their aid may be rendered. however, these
doorways are presently also being used for access by entities who are
rather less than friendly! nevertheless, such undivine souls have the
karmic right to be here on earth.

such entities are representatives of primeval and malevolent powers
that still exist in the universe, and today, as ever, they are
striving toward effecting stagnation in the world as they invariably
seek to retard progress by fostering craving for self and attachment
to the known. they work effectively through the selfishness of
personal desire, fear, pride and conservative attitudes. such ancient
materialistic forces have ever been pitted against true, spiritual
advancement, and thus they are in conflict with the flow of the
spirit which, like a stream, is ever changing, ever new.

the forces of darkness incorporate very real and wilful intelligences
who work to preserve that which is old and material, hence they are
pre-eminently the forces of crystallisation, or of form-preservation.
they promote the attractiveness of matter, desire for temporal
control and power, and the lure of that which exists in the form-life
of the lower worlds. they consequently and deliberately attempt to
block the influx of anything which is good, true and life-enhancing,
as greater divine light certainly threatens their dominion upon
earth. they do this by distorting the new truths and by stimulating
desire and excitement in offering false substitutes that may appear
to be new and promising, but which are, in fact, only re-
presentations of the old ways of self-gratification. principally, and
whenever they are able, they endeavour to preserve that which is
familiar and old, to counteract the effects of the oncoming culture
and civilisation, to bring confusion to humanity, and to feed
steadily the existing fires of separateness, criticism, animosity,
etc. these forces work insidiously and cloak their efforts in fair
words, leading even sincere spiritual aspirants to feel and express
antipathy for certain persons and ideologies, thereby fostering the
hidden seeds of hatred to be found in many human beings. they fan to
fury the fear and antagonism of the world in an effort to maintain
that which is outmoded; they make the unknown and true appear
undesirable or unbelievable, and they attempt to hold back progress
for their own ends.

now, essentially there is no evil in this world, no vice, no sin,
except for that which flows from the assertion of the individual
self. the propensity of self is to cling to the known, and most
people in the world today tend toward the old, the fixed and
the 'secure'. such is the general disposition of humanity into which
its social-conditioning and extremely limited education - so
painfully devoid of the greater verities of life - have programmed
it. the vast majority, then, have become steeped in the ignorance of
egotism, and resistance to change is normal for them. however, as
purifying forces pour into the subtle energy fields of our planet,
the darkness of old, ingrained delusions and selfishness in all their
diverse forms are being forced up and out like the poison in a wound.
all anxieties, fears and other occult contaminants that obscure the
light of the spirt are necessarily surfacing in our lives today; the
true colours of humanity are beginning to be clearly exposed, and
there is much more yet to be revealed in a changing world that is
struggling to be free of all inharmonious influence.

equipped with an adequate understanding of the world situation during
its current process of purification, we would all do well to remember
the fact that if the mind makes a practise of rectitude in its
thinking, then there is no evil that can make entrance into it.
however, a growing number of people today are being impressed
negatively (and most often unconsciously) by antagonistic forces in
order to thwart or to completely quash anything that is supportive of
the successful unfoldment of this current phase of the divine plan
for mankind. such sinister manipulation is greatly facilitated by
individuals who harbour fearful or selfish attitudes and motives, and
the forces of darkness who are recruiting today for the final battle
are certainly not restricted in their choice of prospective
candidates on earth! agents of evil are often quickly recognisable,
but sometimes manage successfully to conceal themselves, for example,
beneath the pious mask of religious philosophy or spiritual
idealism. "the devil quotes scriptures for his own designs", and the
person who would know the truth must be especially vigilant today
amidst the proliferating wiles and illusions that are being
consciously perpetrated upon our planet, mostly from hidden spheres.
we must learn to recognise and pick out the spiritual wheat from the
emotional chaff, bearing in mind always, especially in these
exceptional times, that there exists in the world a great deal more
chaff than wheat!

today, as stimulating psychic forces are unleashed and made available
to mankind on an unprecedented scale, the unsuspecting, hasty and
unenlightened are exhibiting their new abilities with remarkable
alacrity, prematurely stepping forward to inaugurate themselves to
the general public as spiritual teachers, healers and masters of
wisdom, when in reality they have only made contact with the astral
plane. these uninformed and unwary innocents are most often quite
blind to the very real dangers of untrained lower psychism (e.g.,
clairvoyance, mediumship, etc.), its powerful tendency to tempt,
consequently inhibit or even to cause a regression of real spiritual
progress. they are also usually quite unaware of the potential that
astralism inherently possesses for attracting the interest of cunning
spirit-beings who simply love to cause as much mischief as they can
in these important times of global catharsis and transformation.

in being aware of the expanding light upon the horizon of the new
world, the forces of darkness are today redoubling their efforts
against the forces of righteousness by trying all kinds of new,
devious and desperate attempts to further delay the unfolding divine
plan, and to take for themselves as much of the new light coming to
the planet as they are able to snatch away from humanity. in order to
ensure greater success in their goal, the dark forces often offer
fake spiritual gems that may appear to sparkle in the beginning, but
soon fade and become lacklustre, along with the temporary
satisfaction which may have been initially gleaned from them.

if a true divine experience has yet to be attained, the exuberant and
hopeful self-seeker may easily confuse astralism and psychic
phenomena for spiritual revelation and holy wisdom. if a person with
desire of any kind decides to meddle upon the lower astral plane
(which is readily accessible to many today), perhaps seeking to
contact discarnate entities thereupon, they throw open wide the door
of their consciousness for mischievous and evil forces to freely
enter in. this is especially so for teachers who demonstrate
influence over others, for in their commanding and, therefore,
powerful position they become prime targets for the cravings and
ambitions of lowly-evolved and maligned spirits. such beings seek to
contaminate the minds of their unsuspecting victims with their
delusory ploys as they simultaneously draw attention and life-force
to themselves. the majority of these discarnate souls are extremely
unhappy, and since misery loves company they endeavour to render such
damage as they are able by imposing their own will through the
passive consciousness of the unwitting medium. such treacherous
patterns are evidenced today among many new age groups, and are
spreading like an epidemic due to an absence of basic occult
understanding, humility, and that purity of intent which is essential
for safe and useful psychical work.

it should be understood that there is a limitless abundance of
intriguing facts (and falsities) that are accessible upon the astral
plane by its legions of residents. such information often seems
impressive, and may appear bright and true to those who grasp blindly
for something new and exciting, and indeed, on occasion, a jewel of
truth might slip through*. however, the astral land is known in
occult circles as the realm of illusion, partly because its lower sub-
planes provide residence for egotistic denizens who are often much
less evolved even than their mediums, and who have desires and
designs of their own. truth is often corrupted by such entities
either innocently or wilfully, prior to being subsequently tainted by
the illusory nature of the astral plane itself, and finally also by
the personality of the medium. the result: the great plethora of
exaggeration, misinformation and imitation spirituality in the world
today. due to the extant ignorance of mankind and the intensity of
the period, mediumship is currently proving itself to be more often a
curse than a gift.

* due recognition is given to the fact that some accurate and very
useful information is presently being received through bona fide
mediums. however, it should not be overlooked that this is only
information. mediumship (or 'channelling' as it is usually called
today), in and of itself, does not constitute a path of spiritual
development.

if messages from lofty spiritual planes are to be reliably and
accurately conveyed through a medium, then the impression must be a
direct descent from higher mental levels to the brain, avoiding all
contact with impurities in the astral (emotional) part of the
medium's constitution. only in so far as this direct descent is
attained will the recorded impression be devoid of error; it will not
then be tinctured with any emotional complex whatsoever. for it is
the astral level of consciousness that is the great distorter of
essential truth. true interpretation of messages from the higher
worlds is dependent upon detachment from lower psychism. the medium
must be essentially humble, and so personality-decentralisation is an
utmost requirement for true, safe and successful spiritual
mediumship. this is critical today as more and more mediums are being
targeted by the dark forces.

often mediums are aware at some level that their 'guides' have at
least some personal motives which are not entirely divine, yet these
mediums continue to follow their instructions at the expense of
complete integrity due to their own lack of discrimination, fear of
ridicule from their established students, and sometimes for far more
unscrupulous reasons. many established spiritual leaders, teachers
and gurus are, to the perceptive observer, conspicuously falling
today, and so exemplify to the children of the new world that blind
and unintelligent submission to external authorities is inherently
dangerous and strongly inadvisable. in fact, the real and qualified
spiritual teachers in the aquarian age will not gather students
around themselves. the perennial admonitions solemnly given by sages
of yore would especially profit everyone at this time and ought to be
revived and retained in the minds of all those who would safely tread
the spiritual path today, for the pharisee is often further from the
kingdom of god than the publican and the sinner. in every way unholy
company should be avoided by the seeker of truth because it will
likely give rise to passion, glamour, excitement, contagion,
blindness, false hopes, delusion, etc., and all at a cost to wise
decision and real spiritual progress. psychic experiences may seem at
first a bubbling froth of something better, but they veil one's eyes
and serve only to inhibit higher perception.

presently, all over the world, there exists an overabundance of new
religious institutions, spiritual societies and esoteric
organisations that have allegedly been inspired and guided by contact
with great masters, christ-like entities, highly advanced
extraterrestrial light-beings, and even angels and archangels. while
it is true that a far greater profusion of very evolved divine agents
are closer to earth at this time than ever before in its history, it
must ever be born in mind that so is the opposition - the
antichrist*, and the devotees of any spirit-beings, their teachings
or their nominated representatives would do well to remember always
the occult dictum that states like attracts like, for this is an
immutable universal law. the level of morality, virtue, humility and,
therefore, the frequency of consciousness of the medium who makes
contact upon the inner planes dictates the spiritual class and
delimits the calibre of the channelled entity. the average desire-
bound individual will certainly not be chosen as an agent upon earth
to convey the sacred and momentous messages of lofty spiritual
beings, although such mediums may easily misinterpret their distorted
thought-forms within the astral worlds, which are but broken
reflections from higher spheres.

* the antichrist is not a single person or being; it is not
the 'devil' or 'satan', neither of whom actually exist, although a
great number of entities continue to derive satisfaction from
impersonating the mythical lord of darkness. the term 'antichrist'
refers to all evil intelligence as it is expressed in the universe in
direct opposition to the plans of the cosmic christ - the lord of the
world - who is not the personality called jesus, but an extremely
exalted field of divine consciousness, a great being of love and
wisdom, one tiny ray from whom shone through the lower vehicles of
jesus, as it did through those of the avatar krishna of india, before
him, as well as many other great servers throughout human history,
thereby bestowing upon these individuals the spiritual title of world-
saviour. the word 'christ' is derived from the greek 'kristos'
meaning the anointed one. those who work under the banner of the
antichrist include a whole host of sentient beings, some of whom are
very advanced in terms of their occult knowledge, their power to
control certain lesser spirits, and their ability to wield various
natural forces; others may be quite unaware of how they are secretly
used by the brothers of shadow, but all of them have one thing in
common: selfishness, while those of a more treacherous nature harbour
an insatiable lust for power, personal aggrandisement and dominion
over others. it is, in fact, their innate selfishness that prevents
any real and permanent alliance among them, and this is why the
forces of darkness are always ultimately defeated by the greater
united power of those who serve the divine plan, and who constitute,
therefore, the divine forces of righteousness.

today, an inordinate mass of ordinary people bearing minimal
spiritual development are claiming to be the officially appointed
channels for the authentic new teachings of various exalted beings,
many of whom have become well known via various established religions
for thousands of years. gautama buddha, the lord maitreya (christ)
and even god himself! are to be heard speaking through an unlikely
assortment of mediums today. such nonsense exemplifies the great sham
within the new age movement, even though the printed matter collated
from channelling sessions and enthusiastically distributed by those
who whole-heartedly believe in it, may appear to be dependable,
authoritative and even somewhat uplifting. it should not be
overlooked, however, that even a young, dull and mischievous child is
able to quote pleasantly-sounding axioms or make false promises, and
the astral plane is copiously littered with the shards of discarded
thoughts and ideas from eons past and up to date, ready to be taken
up by any vagrant spirit who happens to be wandering by.

highly advanced spiritual beings generally do not limit themselves by
communicating at the level of the individual personality. they
typically influence many different souls simultaneously, and their
communications, which operate under the law of impression, are
effected upon higher levels of consciousness, where very few mediums
today are consciously able to reach due to their personal desires,
which necessarily limit their contact to the lower astral plane. the
great guides of the race have ever served humanity by way of an
ancient, highly organised and intricate hierarchical system
comprising many exalted lives, masters, high-initiates, disciples and
worthy emissaries who have all proven their spiritual merit by
successfully emerging from the fires of past trials and severe tests
taken over numerous incarnations.

at this time all around the world it is a common occurrence that
yesterday's office clerk or manual worker is magically transformed
into today's 'enlightened teacher', and such absurdities lucidly
illustrate that psychism is not a sanction for true, spiritual work,
and that psychic ability does not necessarily (or even usually)
correspond to spiritual purity; nor does it indicate advanced
mystical attainment (which must be realised through long and diligent
practise) be it of the white or the black magician. perhaps we would
all do well during the coming years to bear in mind that domestic
pets such as cats and dogs are psychic, as are members of various
primitive tribes located in africa, south america and elsewhere.

a great number of species of animals are generally more psychic than
human beings because, while remaining completely free of the
constricting and obstructive psychologies that mankind so prevalently
possesses and demonstrates, these animals are naturally and
effortlessly sensitive to the thoughts and feelings of other sentient
beings around them. such members of the animal kingdom regularly
communicate psychically with one another, and they can sense changes
and presences that arise within the subtle planes that exist
alongside our physical world.

psychism is a most ordinary and natural function, but humanity
generally desensitises these inherent and latent faculties due to a
compulsive and emphatic use of the lower psyche, and the consequent
development of a rigid mind-set that may include all kinds of
limiting false conceptions, fears and prejudices. due to its
unnatural and habitual tendencies, therefore, the human race has to
date generally and subconsciously opted to close down its psychic
awareness, while those few who in the past have chosen to freely
demonstrate their uncommon psychic abilities, in attracting the wrong
kind of attention, may have landed themselves in serious trouble.

throughout modern history, fear has been the chief motivating force
behind the suppression, persecution and even execution of those who
evidenced psychic powers, e.g., witch-burning in the middle-ages, the
spanish inquisition, etc., and many psychically sensitive individuals
have been promptly treated as insane. today, however, the energies of
the aquarian age are forcing open previously inhibited channels of
psychic perception and sensitivity in mankind, and the world is no
longer able to deny these very real faculties due to their emergence
and demonstration en masse. however, due to the pervasive lack of
occult understanding amongst humanity, lower psychic faculties are
currently being misused and abused, while the misconceptions born of
new age psychism continue to mislead many. lacking right
understanding in these times we shall be like the blind man in the
valley of the shadow of death. occult education is critically
required today in order to prevent individuals from falling prey to
those identical temptations, which have led to the total destruction
of whole civilisations upon earth in the past.

channelling, as it is still widely practised in its lowest and most
material form, is a low grade psychic expression. it is, for the
masses, definitely one of the least demanding 'spiritual paths'; it
is easy and therefore of negligible positive influence upon real
spiritual progress. in stark contrast, divine-contact has ever been
the most important and prime goal of the serious spiritual aspirant,
and this rule has not changed merely due to the increased psychic
sensitivity in the world. being the most direct communication with
the spirit for humanity, divine-contact facilitates the receipt of
pure insight, flawless intuition and dependable wisdom, obviating the
need to contact other beings for information. it will also allow for
the beneficent radiation (via the personality) of the light of the
spirit, the nature of which is love. conversely, channelling can be
very detrimental to the individual upon the spiritual path for
numerous reasons, and, once divine-contact has been attained, becomes
completely superfluous.

channelling, therefore, constitutes a definite distraction to real
spiritual attainment, and for the average person today is fraught
with danger. moreover, the trance condition that many lesser mediums
effortlessly adopt is a most undesirable state, especially in these
times. it separates the medium from their own soul, and definitely
relegates them to the realm of uncontrolled and material forces that
abound upon the astral plane. it is imperative that mental activity
be enhanced and selflessly consecrated to helping others so that
intelligent and conscious channelling may be practised safely if at
all, otherwise true, spiritual mediumship will remain a rare
occurrence within the new age spiritualistic movement. the naãƒâƒã‚âƒãƒâ‚ã‚âƒãƒâƒã‚â‚ãƒâ‚ã‚âƒãƒâƒã‚âƒãƒâ‚ã‚â‚ ãƒâƒã‚â‚ãƒâ‚ã‚âƒãƒâƒã‚âƒãƒâ‚ã‚âƒãƒâƒã‚â‚ãƒâ‚ã‚â‚ムâƒã‚âƒãƒâ‚ã‚â‚ãƒâƒã‚â‚ãƒâ‚ã‚â¯vetãƒâƒã‚âƒãƒâ‚ã‚âƒã ƒâƒã‚â‚ãƒâ‚ã‚âƒãƒâƒã‚âƒãƒâ‚ã‚â‚ãƒâƒã‚â‚ãƒâ‚ã‚âƒãƒâ ƒã‚âƒãƒâ‚ã‚âƒãƒâƒã‚â‚ãƒâ‚ã‚â‚ãƒâƒã‚âƒãƒâ‚ã‚â‚ãƒâƒã ‚â‚ãƒâ‚ã‚â©
and excited grasping of the majority of those who are interested in
channelling, together with the ingenuousness, pride and selfishness
of the bulk of mediums, exposes groups to very definite dangers as
they continue to let loose in the world forces and entities of an
unholy nature.

all manner of devious spirits are today proceeding to seek out and to
contact sensitives in physical incarnation who evidence reasonable
potential to become instruments for the execution of their ungracious
plans, just as the benevolent and true servants of the race are
searching for selfless and devoted hearts to help with the real
divine work upon earth. as the lower psychic faculties of mankind
expand, dark forces may eagerly rush in where angels will not tread.
wherever there exists even a tiny blot upon the motives of the
medium, he or she is automatically prone to be surreptitiously
deceived, used, victimised and even permanently possessed. conditions
are so ripe at this time in the world and humanity's gullibility and
desire so pronounced and prevalent, that such unfortunate occult
usurpations are being facilitated by a negative synergy actualised by
unprepared groups of perhaps well-meaning people. this is resulting
in group-possessions and it is to be observed today that certain
mediums together with some of their loyal followers are headed
straight for the lunatic asylum!

lowly-evolved and unscrupulous entities bearing sinister ambitions
recognise how easily they may outwit unsuspecting human beings. many
of these wily disembodied spirits are no great fools, and they
understand well that the dissemination of alluring but erroneous
teachings may seem authentic and dependable to the unwary on account
of the truth that lies at the base of them and which is intentionally
allowed to slip through their falsifications. for it is the little
bit of truth in an error that gives it its appeal and strength, not
the great wrapping of falsehood that overlies the scrap of truth, and
many teachings being given out today are gross embellishments or
distortions of basically sound contemporary facts. how many hopefuls
will become most embarrassed, if not sorely grieved, when they
eventually come to realise that their beloved master or lofty angelic
source is no more than a deceased human personality of low order, or
even merely a rather bold and mischievous nature-spirit!?

the previous illustration is a characteristic example (and not, by
far, the most shocking) of that which is transpiring within the new
age movement today, and it is everywhere apparent. large, affluent,
fully-established, well-attended and even 'prestigious' spiritual
organisations exist around the world that have been instigated due to
the communications and manipulations of entities with unquestionably
deluded motivations. many of those who are presently offering false
teachings are all the more convincing to the unaware due to the fact
that they themselves actually believe what they teach, and may
therefore possess genuinely sincere motives. yet while they forge
ahead with the notion that they really are serving the divine plan,
they are in fact little more than human marionettes for masters of
deception who work from within the hidden worlds. it is one of evil's
favourite and most frequently employed ruses to pose as holy
messengers, for it knows well how to appeal to humanity's pride and
desire. these dark spirits are well-practised and skilled at
masquerading their true intentions with a facade of stimulating and
evocative melodramas and emotionally appealing beguilements of all
kinds.

by way of their chosen human instruments on the physical plane, the
forces of darkness may perform miraculous healings and demonstrate
psychic powers in order to inspire faith in the masses, and to
subsequently win the adulation and allegiance of the naãƒâƒã‚âƒãƒâ‚ã‚âƒãƒâƒã‚â‚ãƒâ‚ã‚âƒãƒâƒã‚âƒãƒâ‚ã‚â‚ ãƒâƒã‚â‚ãƒâ‚ã‚âƒãƒâƒã‚âƒãƒâ‚ã‚âƒãƒâƒã‚â‚ãƒâ‚ã‚â‚ムâƒã‚âƒãƒâ‚ã‚â‚ãƒâƒã‚â‚ãƒâ‚ã‚â¯ve. what may
be regarded as miraculous by some, however, is nothing but a
metaphysical dynamic that is responsible for the harnessing of
natural forces; faith acts as both a magnifier and a conductor, and
makes this dynamic possible. just as electricity - which is
potentially present everywhere - becomes effective only in the
presence of a conductor, so 'supernatural' power becomes effective
only in the presence of faith, be it faith in a human teacher, in the
divine intelligence immanent in creation, faith in an ideal or even
in one's own spiritual nature. history attests to the fact that blind
faith may be easily and promptly cultivated amongst the credulous,
desirous or needy. furthermore, those cunning entities who are sworn
enemies of truth and righteousness understand very well how selfishly-
motivated faith may be exploited and used like a kind of vacuum that
draws certain surrounding forces into itself, thus endowing the
individual or group with which it is connected with various etheric
and astral energies that are naught but imitations of those higher
forces in which the faith has been invested.

it is a fact that in order to instigate and maintain their power and
charisma, spiritual and religious leaders depend as much on the faith
of their adherents as their adherents depend on the initial
inspiration which they may receive from their leaders. once this
mutually-profitable affair has begun, it can easily expand to allure
and subsequently influence many other aspirants who may be attracted
(or magnetically pulled in) to the psychically-charged atmosphere
that is so common within such groups. the subsequent and rapid
magnification of synergetic potency will be in direct proportion to
the degree of emotional charge peculiar to the group, as well as the
will and manipulative abilities of the leader(s), and it is not
difficult to see how the combined forces evoked by those whose faith
is directed toward a spiritual 'superior' make him a centre of power
that goes far beyond that of his own personality, while
simultaneously also providing a convenient conduit for other evil
minds to enter and influence our world.

religious intermediaries are still employed today due to humanity's
ignorance of universal laws, and as long as such blindness persists
in the world, black magicians, false spiritual leaders and bogus
religions will continue to proliferate in response to mankind's
desire. a rapidly growing number of false prophets and unscrupulous
mystical teachers are rising in power around the world today. due to
the pervasive ingenuousness and craving of humanity, these sorcerers
are successfully wielding occult forces not for the common good, but
for their own selfish ends, and they are consequently leading many
people farther and farther away from the truth and genuine divine
experience by offering a cold light, which can be remarkably
convincing to those who do not look to their own heart for
verification.

upon entering the charged atmosphere of certain congregations today,
the sensitive person may soon become aware of an upliftment of mood
or psychic stimulation of some kind, while beneath such a cunning
enticement the more vigilant newcomer may witness an obscure
sensation that betrays the fact that some external force is
attempting to mesmerically impose its influence and to instigate
control. often, certain ceremonies or meditations that are regularly
performed by members of the assembly will - consciously or
unwittingly - facilitate such possession or, in the case of the weak-
willed, vacant-minded or needy, even guarantee the successful
attachment of some disembodied being (or group of beings) to the aura
of the unsuspecting optimist, with the preconceived purpose of
eventually working its way into the nervous system and the brain of
the victim. this depiction may seem rather morbid or even fantastic
to the uninformed, yet the reader who lacks sound occult knowledge is
assured that this is usually only the initial introduction to the
intended insidious career of the possessing entity.

where opportunity is presented, misguided discarnate spirits are
today purposefully breaking divine law by enticing or coercing the
souls of some individuals to vacate their bodies, usually temporarily
but on occasion permanently, in order to inhabit them thereafter,
wherein they endeavour to influence others. such is becoming a common
occurrence in the world today and is made easy by those who succumb
to fits of passion such as anger or lust, or who allow themselves to
yield to other traits of the lower self such as jealousy, lying, self-
pity, depression, hatred, fear, habitual condemnation of others,
etc., etc.

each individual, and no one else, is wholly responsible for all the
conditions within their own reality, for these conditions exist
primarily in their auric field as the energies which they have
created by their thoughts and emotions. the key to safety and success
during this dark eve of the new day lies within the heart. negative
and selfish thinking, however, is especially hazardous in
these 'testing times' and bears the terrible potential to attract
entities who dwell amidst the hordes of maligned spirits who are
today being forced up against the physical plane by the forces of
righteousness which are battling victoriously upon the other side of
the veil between worlds. these now frenzied dark wraiths are
desperately seeking their impossible escape from the dazzling light
of justice by fleeing into physical human vehicles. it is a fact that
there are many more 'walk-ins' of questionable character alive today
upon earth than there are truly holy visitors. however, it should be
remembered that for every single soul of purity and wisdom, one
thousand or more evil ones may be offset, and many such bright souls
are presently moving into position for the forthcoming and conclusive
confrontation upon the physical plane.

* * *

aside from the more severe dangers of lower psychism, it should ever
be born in mind that psychics who are lacking in sound occult
training, track-record and purity of motive cannot and should not be
trusted to convey accurately the truth of the times. proclaimed
spiritual teachers should always be thoroughly tested for their moral
standing, their depth of esoteric knowledge and their past genuine
experience in holy service, and this before any iota of allegiance to
them or their methods is even considered. false spiritual teachers
are today disseminating all kinds of intriguing information in their
attempt to distract the masses from the simple, unchanging and
spiritually sound message of love and service. the holy truth is, has
ever been and always will be - simple, and complexity often spells
danger. the well known ancient chinese curse may be regarded today as
a warning: "may you live in interesting times".

those beings who operate within the ranks of the forces of darkness
always work along the path of least resistance. the devil is
characteristically a most lazy fellow whenever he can afford to be!
he has ever been most disposed to advantage himself from any method
that seems likely to further his insidious cause and which appears to
promise him the least amount of trouble or effort. today he is
exploiting with ease the ignorant nature of human beings, while
artfully employing the rampant glamour and exaggeration within the
new age movement to ensnare as many hopefuls as he can. at the same
time he is, with very little effort, using that same glamour to deter
many of the thinking people of the world from apprehending the real
facts. sceptics today are rather hastily and eagerly condemning new
age thinking in its entirety as 'mass-hypnosis', 'group-infatuation',
etc., and this is because they have observed only the nonsensical
side, which is by far the larger part, and which, admittedly, is
saturated with so much fuss, excitement and credulous obsession.

today's pervasive hype and glamour has resulted in much smugness,
excitement and pride, and this is exactly what the dark forces
intended. due to the abundant and much distorted presentations of
contemporary facts that have been thoughtlessly peddled by eager,
naãƒâƒã‚âƒãƒâ‚ã‚âƒãƒâƒã‚â‚ãƒâ‚ã‚âƒãƒâƒã‚âƒãƒâ‚ã‚â‚ ãƒâƒã‚â‚ãƒâ‚ã‚âƒãƒâƒã‚âƒãƒâ‚ã‚âƒãƒâƒã‚â‚ãƒâ‚ã‚â‚ムâƒã‚âƒãƒâ‚ã‚â‚ãƒâƒã‚â‚ãƒâ‚ã‚â¯ve and self-seeking individuals during the last few decades, the
sacred essence of the truths that represent the real significance of
the birth of the aquarian age have been terribly adulterated and
consequently misconstrued by many. this has resulted in a great
neutralisation of the benefits offered to humanity in accordance with
the divine plan for earth. through exaggeration, misinformed passion
and unintelligent, misguided enthusiasm, important and critically-
relevant information regarding the world-transformation has become
hackneyed, stale and consequently improbable to the minds of many.
cliched prattle and 'spiritual marketing' by the unaware has
discouraged numerous people from recognising and responding to the
urgency and magnitude of that which is today transpiring. the devil's
calling card bears the same insignia as it always has, if only we
would care to take a closer look. earnest and intelligent seeking,
right understanding, practical vision and active service are required
today in order to offset the damage inflicted and time wasted by the
plethora of falsity and ostentation that proliferates in the world
with regard to the new age.

having thoroughly researched the spiritual supermarket for over a
decade, uncompromisingly seeking full-time across four continents, it
is the personal and authentic observation of the fellowship that at
the time of writing (1995), an accurate figure denoting the
proportion of bogus (or at best misguided) 'spiritual' teachers,
leaders and groups at large today in our experience is 95% plus! yes,
there most certainly is evil (ignorance) in the world, and the larger
part of the new age movement, even at its best, only manages to
provide a dubious presentation of the truth of the times, while at
its worst is undoubtedly sinister.

it is a most noteworthy fact that one basic truth is often used as a
foundation for a great pile of deception, as is prevalently the case
everywhere today upon the eve of the birth of the new world.
nevertheless, wherever there is truth to be found at all, the serious
seeker will always possess the earnest and genuine spiritual impetus
to probe and delve deeply within a whole mountain of lies if
necessary in order to find it. and if they dig down deep enough into
that great mound of falsehood, thereby discovering and bringing out
the truth to set it radiating on top, then the entire mountain of
lies will crumble under the weight of that single truth. evil is
essentially conservative, it simply hates being disturbed by the
truth.

fortunately, evil together with all its lies, selfishness and other
egocentric tendencies may often be recognised clearly enough by
discerning persons, but for those who do not yet possess
discrimination, adequate occult knowledge or dependable intuition,
pseudo-spirituality may be rather more difficult to identify. yet the
ego (which, in a sense, is synonymous with evil: the divisive factor
in creation) can always be recognised by its propensity to attack or
defend for the benefit of itself. a close and uncompromising scrutiny
of the character of and results obtained by any spiritual group will
usually reveal the truth. however, a general guiding rule may be
offered here: wherever educational groups fail to emphasise,
encourage and inspire selfless service of a distinctly spiritual
nature; wherever promises are made of gains for the personal self
alone; or where tempting benefits are offered for the individual at
all - beware! the true spiritual path must be sought for itself, and
not with regard for the feet that shall tread it. most importantly,
sincere seekers should listen within rather than to the opinions of
others; they should ever trust and be true to themselves, remembering
always that desire blinds.

as has been assured by the disclosures presented in this book thus
far, there certainly are most precious gems scattered amongst the
glut of new age paraphernalia that is available everywhere in the
western world today. like a fine, golden thread, the truth is very
subtly woven throughout the many enchantments and infatuations that
lay like so much unwanted sediment upon the surface of the real
contemporary facts. all those sincere and venturesome aspirants for
true knowledge and understanding in these remarkable times are most
heartily encouraged to make their search steadfastly, with
discernment and without excessive eagerness. there are important
lessons to be learned in every single experience, and we often learn
much more by encountering the evils and deceptions of life's
circumstances personally than we do from simply being handed truth
upon a silver platter, as it were, where it might go unappreciated.
sometimes we have to quest deeply into the dragon's lair in order to
retrieve essential treasures, but if the nature of evil is
comprehended well enough and one's motives remain pure, then the
devil together with all his cohorts may be faced with unshakeable
confidence. thus assured in their certain knowledge that they will be
victorious, the resolute trailblazers of the times shall detect the
golden thread of truth and will employ it wisely in order to guide
themselves safely through all the present-day contrivances, until
they successfully reach the centre of the new age cyclone, where they
will see and know.

the widespread rise of falsehood and darkness is a very normal
occurrence at the close of cycles, and one that necessarily precedes
the advent of new light in the world. this is so for various reasons,
and one important purpose of such 'timely evil' is to afford humanity
its needed challenges in the form of trials so that individual choice
may be made. each person is thus given opportunity to hasten their
own spiritual growth and simultaneously qualify to proceed forward
into a brighter era. those who, albeit unwittingly, choose to become
entangled amidst the multitudinous enticements of the transition
period leading up to the harvest time automatically exclude
themselves from entering the new world by failing to recognise and
overcome the 'temptations of evil'. the sinister side of the new age
may ultimately be regarded, therefore, as an important factor in a
necessary selection process that will permit only those pure,
vigilant and worthy souls to pass through the portal of initiation,
and to rise into the resplendence of heaven on earth.

hi sandy,

i would like to thank you for providing that very interesting post on "the
dangers of channeling". my concern with the article though is that it does
not point a "seeker" on to a positive path. in fact, for those who have
limited experience in things metaphysical, the article could instill fear
and discourage a potential seeker. further, if someone has already been
lured off their path the article/post does not provide any solutions. i
would therefore humbly like to address what i perceive to be these
deficiencies based on my limited experience.

so the first question to answer is "who does one trust?" from my experience
the question is usually resolved by the unconditional giving test. that is
the person or institution will freely provide their information or aid with
absolutely no strings attached. of course the cost maybe subtly disguised
and a classic example of this is the feeding of another's ego, this was
eluded to in your post.

the next question is am i being empowered or disempowered? this question
should also be mirrored to the person or institution providing the guidance.
a true guru/mentor will relish the fact that his student may eventually
supersede him or her. the tibetan buddhists are one group who seem to
embrace this philosophy. strangely the impetuous for me to explore this
issue came about by reading winston churchill's series of books titled "the
history of english speaking people". what intrigued me about the 2000 year
history that the series of books covered was the cyclical nature of who had
power (i.e. the church, the monarchy, the parliament e.t.c.).

i personally do not like being constrained to one guru or institution. this
may change in the future but the information can be found now with out
having to be aligned to a particular group or individual. my intuition tells
me that this may be one such place. certainly david has provide an
incredible wealth of information with no strings attached!!

before one can even start the spiritual quest a process of looking at ones
belief structures is paramount. i found ingo swann's site excellent for
entertaining the possibilities of my potential. he maintains through all his
essays that everyone has the potential to get in touch with the higher
aspects of themselves. the only thing that holds people back is their belief
structures. he has a great term for this called consensus realities. if you
look at his articles you will find his explanations.

next you have to know your own mind. for me practicing remote viewing has
been a godsend. the battle between the conscious and unconscious mind is
quite unbelievable. with remote viewing you are aiming to put the conscious
mind in the background. that is why all targets are blind. for example the
only information you are given is a series of random numbers that someone
else has associated with the target. the first target that i was given all i
knew about it was the random numbers, something like 00x/01/10/2000 and
current time. i felt like an idiot when i sent back my data to the tasker in
america. i got a map of australia, a shadowy outline of a mountain, then a
fixation on the center point tower in sydney. i was stunned when i found out
the target was uluru or ayers rock in central australia. what i learnt was
that i clearly got the target first off but then my conscious mind stepped
in to corrupt the data. being more experienced now i have a better idea on
how to avoid these traps.

once i became more proficient at meditation and remote viewing i also became
aware of the potential of attacks by negative entities. the first thing to
know about this topic is that negative entities thrive on fear. robert
bruce's web site has a great story about astral knights and for some reason
this seemed important for me. twice in meditations i was presented with
swords for protection. i did not like this though as i was concerned about
using the sword against the wrong person. i then had the following
meditation that has ever since made me feel very strong.

really strong energy maybe 10 minutes into the session (really no idea
though)

-vague phoenix type bird flying up.

- knight with a shield with white cross

-king and queen crowing ceremony, trumpets and flags

-sword it had a cross within a cross on the handle

-energy given to the sword, ball of pure energy entered it and gave it
incredible power

- darth vader type entity threatened. the sword came in and out of the
scabbard like a flash of lightning. darth vader ended up like dissipated
energy this faded into a ripple that vanished into a vast sea of water. got
the impression the entity had the ability to manifest into another form,
though it would not trouble me again.

- coffin changed to a cross shape with a knight arising from it and
returning to life.

- another positive entity draws a dagger. i restrain them and advise them
that now is not the time. this is accepted but not immediately.

- the round table starts to come back to life. a dull light permeates the
grain of the table.

- several knights lift their skulls from the table. they place them on their
bodies. the knights regenerate from old age to the prime of their life.

- in the form of a message 7 of the 12 have awoken. there are 5 in slumber
but will awaken shortly.

-life and energy returns to the table but is by no means complete.

-leadership has returned

-a horse with a knight charging through water, with another message that the
quest is back on track.

-pegasus will rain down assistance from above.
-solidarity is of immense importance.

-whirlpool of energy.

-another dark entity in the form of an evil knight arrived. just showed the
emblem on the handle of the sword. it made a hasty retreat.

-glowing angelic goddess entity opens her heart to me.

-we drink together from a chalice, some red wine to celebrate the union of
hearts.

-i pull out even though i am still getting more images because i do not want
to loose what i have so far.

session finishes at 11.48 am.

it took me 3 months to work out that the bulk of the information was about
self defense. i finally realised that there were three levels. the lest
effective was aggression, next was instilling fear in the negative entity
and finally the ultimate weapon which was love. there is still much in that
session though that does not make sense. like most things though the answers
will come with time.

as usual i have gone on a bit. sorry. i hope though that the above provides
others with some helpful ideas.

cheers,

mawk
