Me neither... I think a lot of channeling is just subconscious recyling of thoughts, ideas, etc. that are not overtly in the conscious mind... Say you read about a theory or idea years and years ago, and don't remember it at all consciously and haven't though about it for years... Well, it just might get "channeled" out of you.
Paul Solomon was a real good example of this, and he had quite the following... Not one of his "readings" could be verified, and all his specific prophecies were way off... I agree with Michael Mandeville, he was a great philospher, but he didn't channel outside information.
Solomon, did exactly the same thing Cayce did, he layed down and put himself in a deep trance, and had suggestions and questions given to him to answer... His stuff sounds just like Cayce, and it is clear that he studied the readings quite in depth at one point... It was all recycled, said in slightly different ways though.
And there is always the oft present ego temptation for believing one is a channel, especially of the Ascended Masters, or Spiritually enlightened E.T.'s etc. Many channeling stuff i read, i get this red flag go off about this very same aspect, not that i judge the individual. At least i try not to.
Most of the real, and very good channels...did not want, or very much didn't like being channels, especially at first--like Cayce.
But now with the new age in full progression, everybody and their sister wants to be some great channel for on High.
Its far more important just to be an example in your daily life of Christ/Buddha living...this has far greater impact on the Collective Consciousness than just some words, even if they are nice ones. Ditto with psychic abilities, though i believe Retrievals are quite important.
I really respect people who can do both, like Bruce Moen... I get the strong sense that Bruce is a very loving person who has spent most of his life working on himself and learning to love others unconditionally...and he happens to be pretty psychic too... Course he has pulled the Edgar thing, but with a purpose, so its understandable.
In fact, as Bruce has pointed out, the more filled with PUL you are, the more your latent senses are expanded.....
