What Black Panther wrote might be true, but since Robert Monroe wrote about things such as focus levels and belief system territories, people are liable to be influenced to some degree.

I don't believe this is necessarily a bad thing. All of us have our beliefs regardless of whether we read what somebody such as Robert Monroe had to say.  What's important is whether we allow ourselves to be open to information that is different than what we believe. If we just aren't willing to be open in such a way, we probably won't learn much.

Another important factor is not underestimating our ability to be wrong. My feeling is that we have to learn to doubt ourselves before we can truly find how to trust ourselves.  The more we gain freedom from  false ways of thinking, the more we can open up to a truth-based way of understanding.

I believe it is possible to make contact with higher level spirit beings in a way where you can become certain about their credibility. Such certainty is partly a matter of the feeling you get when you are in contact with them, and partly a matter of what continued communication leads to. It is important to remember that sometimes we find according to our individual needs and others might have differing needs.
