The following is more based on a combo of holistic logic and a lot of research into what's going on in the world than anything else. As I've mentioned in other threads, I've come to understand and perceive that there is A LOT of corruption in the world and in most governments--which the US government perhaps taking the cake in some less obvious/more hidden ways.
Try to imagine this: You're a psychopathic plutocrat with immense wealth, resources, and connections at your demand. You spend a lot of money on various "programs" that help to keep the average person in the dark about the degree and level of corruption--meaning how much you influence government, media, and other forms of control and perception manipulation.
Would you want people to start exploring the nonphysical and communicating with positive guidance? Really think about this: If people started to directly explore the nonphysical, communicate with positive guidance and generally become more and more intuitive and psychic, it would be harder and harder to deceive and hide your dirty little secrets from such folks.
Such folks would become more and more wise to your machinations of manipulation. You might even find yourself starting programs and hiring people to either discredit nonphysical reality, OR perhaps try to facilitate generalized fear and over caution with directly exploring/communicating with the nonphysical.
If you don't think that forces of corrupt power, wealth, and control (like corporations, government, banks, etc) don't hire people to spread disinfo, well, I would say you're sadly naive and to watch the following and then get back to me:
https://youtu.be/dK__WF96F8I If you watch the above, you will see that the giant, mega corporation Monsanto, got caught red handed, hiring and paying people to go on social media and spread their falsities, half truths, and disinfo to support their cause of convincing people GMO's, etc are completely safe, and thus increase their bottom-line--profit.
So, do you think it's possible that this can happen with say forums started by real Helpers, whom are having a positive effect on others and helping them to directly explore the nonphysical and communicate with positive guidance?
How would such paid individuals promote their master's agendas of distorting perception about such topics? Maybe mostly subtly. Pretend like they're one of the crowd, that they're genuinely interested in such topics, but they'll "oh so subtly" start to inject doubt and fear about these activities. They might subtly call in question the core and basic sincerity of the person who started said forum.
Dunno, but it is interesting to think about. Consider it a tentative hypothesis at this point. I suppose if one hasn't done a lot of research into the corruption and misleading nature of the US government (rather those most in control of same), and of world power structures like the international banking system, then most of the above just won't make any sense.
An excellent, grounded, holistically logical source along these lines is James Corbett and his Youtube videos under "Corbett Report" and "Corbett Report Extras". I don't know what it is about James, but there is just something that beyond his excellent, astute, methodical, and very well researched work, makes me smile and feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Perhaps because he strikes me as a person of deep integrity, deep ethics, and with a real concern for all of humanity.
