“There is no book so bad,” said the bachelor, “but something good may be found in it.” 28 Don Quixote. Part ii. Chap. iii.
Not sure that I believe that, but perhaps we can apply that saying to some New Age bogus channeled sources as well? I went through the Bashar site, and it has certain pseudo-wisdom in it, but ranks right up there with the same trite sayings as are found in a mixture of: Ramtha, Seth, Elias, The Secret, and other common New Age sources. And hey, you can get your own private reading at anytime (for a price). We won't even talk about the "Santa Spirit."
Followers of Seth and Elias (who some claim to continue the Seth material), often follow thousands of hours of channeled material, and many are extremely fluent in it and can cite chapter and verse on virtually any topic. I respect that degree of study, but I find it hard sometimes to carry on conversations about the nature of reality when I am quoted to about a so called channeled source, rather than actually discussing the topic at hand.
If your thoughts create your reality - explore it - I have and was convinced of the truth behind this expression - though in a way that is not magical but a bit more subtle, by changing probabilities in the physical world.
Yes, explore for yourself, as Bruce advises, don't rely on channeled sources or get snookered into following someone else's message, without personally validating it for yourself.
After much investigation into various philosophies, many seekers get tired of the rhetoric and want to move on to the direct spiritual experience. This can only come from personal exploration and patience. Unfortunately, this is not accomplished by buying the latest CD from the psychic channeler "du jour."
Dude - no one will begrudge you the right to follow sources like Bashar, but if you think Albert is speaking out against this channeled source for any reason other than what he perceives to be helping others, then you are mistaken. You ask "how does it help others to speak out this way?" Hmmm.....I wonder, one could equally ask "why should we retrieve deceased humans from stuck focus levels such as focus 23, 24-26?" If anyone's views are equally valid, why be concerned at all about helping anybody? My answer; love. Love is the reason we help each other. The reason we pick each other up when we fall. It is the reason we don't usually sit idly by when someone is following a dark path, although we could.
This is a feeling I get from many channeled sources. The lack of love for others, and the lack of emphasis of love as the driving force for everything. It is more a personal indulgence - a feel good message saying you can do anything, you can experience ecstasy, make your reality, without factoring love or love of others into the equation. That is an important sniff test for me when evaluating any source of information.
Albert, no matter what else has been said here, I understand where you are coming from. From my point of view, you help many people on this board.
