Better Without Channelling

My own situation with regard to channelling

As from mid-April 2007 I started a task of removing from this site more or less all of the information which I'd channelled (i.e. obtained from non-physical sources) over the previous few years, and many supposed insights which I'd gained from it.

While many people would initially throw up their hands in horror at the thought of my making such a change, others would no doubt want to pile in and tell me "I [could have] told you so!". Anyway, no matter - things are as they are! 

Many people who have visited this site any time from late 2003 up to April 2007 will be aware that during that time I was having major interference problems with my channelling caused by astral ('dark') entities. These problems meant that I found myself having to keep updating many web pages with supposedly more correct information, which itself I had to admit still most likely contained distortions and thus couldn't be relied upon.

Such interference problems, although commonly more covert, affect every channel or medium that there is, so actually no channelled information from anyone can be relied upon, regardless of their reputation. NO channelling is benign or benificial, regardless of any superficial appearance, and further below I explain why.

What prompted me actually to remove channelled information from my site, and to recommend to others to neither seek nor accept channelled information / answers, was my reading some of the challenging and highly disturbing writings of Steve Gamble. However, although I link here to that site for authenticity's sake, I have to caution about Steve's writings, although they do serve a useful function in that to a large extent they cut through the usual 'New Age' type of  outlook on reality and 'the human condition' and point to what I now take to be the true situation.

Steve himself shows clear signs, both in his writings and in his authoritarian and somewhat paranoid behaviour, of being quite seriously interfered with and led astray by the very astral forces which he is so outspoken against. Indeed, a particular type of 'spirit' attachment which I have found that he is carrying is causing him to transmit to people, not only personally but through his writings, extremely problematical thought forms which can remain with the recipients indefinitely if they do not take measures (such as use of the Clarity-Sphere) to dissolve the thought forms which they are carrying. I don't know the detailed content of those thought form complexes, but they do have a paranoid and controlling quality and make the person more vulnerable to interference from entities.

In my more recent rewriting of Interference and Attacks From Astral ('Dark') Entities I have sought to give a more balanced and helpful picture. One of the ways in which Steve has come adrift is in presenting his view and 'story' concerning astral interference and influences as though it is all fact and 'reality'. In my own presentation of the more balanced view I emphasize that the information I give is nothing more than a very helpful working model to use for healing and self realization purposes, because we can never really know what is true or 'fact' with regard to non-physical realities and entities.

As part of the clearance process of my issue with interfering astral entities during the first part of 2007 I'd already closed to channelling because I understood that my channelling or asking for 'guidance' from external-seeming beings was just empowering the interfering entities / 'dark forces' and helping to obstruct my clearance process. However, I was still assuming that I'd soon get clear of the interference and then resume channelling, specifically from my supposed Divine Support Team of high-level Light beings.

Upon reading Steve's writings I saw much more clearly than before how when I'd got into spiritual healing (from 1998 onwards) I'd unwittingly taken on distorted, limited versions of healing (yes, Reiki, at least as is generally known, is definitely that) and 'spiritual' insights which were very much part of the whole 'New Age' movement (which is to varying extents a 'dark force' snare for people aspiring to open up spiritually). Such 'spiritual' insights included such things as sequential, evolutionary reincarnation of the soul, and higher dimensional 'realities' in which supposedly there exist many higher beings (e.g. guides and angels) who are around us to assist us, and stories about our past lives, soul origins and higher plans for us as individuals and for Humanity in general. They also included healing modalities involving symbols, sacred geometry, and the general notion of channelling healing energy (and indeed information and guidance) from outside oneself.

By late in 2006 I'd already come to recognise that astral ('dark') forces are interfering with almost all healers, channels, mediums, psychics, lightworkers and spiritual teachers, seeking to keep them fixated on illusory 'spiritual' scenarios and thus keeping them diverted from the true enlightenment and self realization which would free them from astral control for good. So, with the particular 'spiritual' insights and healing methods which I'd picked up I had got myself unawarely accepting 'dark force' agendas - which led to my tremendous troubles with astral entities from 2003 onwards.

However, I'd still been assuming that there was a true 'spiritual reality' of a multidimensional Cosmos with many types of higher beings, which, with diligence and discernment, I would be able to channel from the highest possible source, and so Steve's writings brought me up with a jolt - pointing me to what I really already knew at a deeper level: that we cannot ever really know an enduring 'external' reality, whether it be physical or non-physical; the most we can get is 'appearances', and we cannot really know that any 'appearance', including a supposedly reliable channelling, is really 'objective fact' or representing something outside of ourselves.

Despite the serious shortcomings in Steve Gamble's writings, what I did read caused many things which had been niggling in my mind for a long time to suddenly click into place.

I saw that I didn't have to concern myself with whose scenario I should accept in the face of all these discrepancies between spirituality writers and indeed my own channelled 'information' (better described as stories), for, despite his own confusions, Steve was pointing in many places to an extremely simple way out of the whole dilemma as to what version of 'reality' to accept as correct. Actually I'd been valiantly struggling to get fully in touch with that very same approach all the time in the face of the distractions and confusions from the major 'dark force' interferences which I'd experienced over the last few years.

The great liberation was to fully recognise - as I'd already half done - that the only useful way forward to full enlightenment and freedom from astral entity or 'dark force' control was to let go of all channelled information and live fully 'in the present', ignoring all stories concerning external realities of ours and cultivating our ability to allow our own deepest essence (which is fundamental consciousness or 'the Ultimate' itself) to inform and guide us individually through our deepest intuition and good sense and not through any other means. Similarly, to keep clear of all spiritual healing systems and traditions and let go of the notion of invoking higher beings or using symbols or geometric structures for healing or self realization work, and instead simply to open to and allow the flow from one's core of fundamental consciousness ('the Ultimate') itself. There can be no higher source than that.

An important recognition at this point was that when we channel or dowse, we are giving away our own power - quite apart from the issue of 'dark force' involvement. Even if we were getting communications from squeaky-clean, reliable higher sources, we'd still be pointing away from our self realization, because each of us is a manifestation of fundamental consciousness ('the Ultimate') and yet we'd be failing to acknowledge that it is the deepest level of ourselves which is truly the 'highest', purest and most reliable source of guidance and healing.

So, I have dropped all remaining adherence to information that I had channelled - including the following:

• my own past and that of Humanity, including past lives and people's soul origins;
• any plans or predictions for my or Humanity's future;
• any Cosmology, description of dimensions and types of being.

That means that much information given on my other pages here has been or is going to be removed or revised. Such morsels of information (or rather, stories) have been given to us to help lead us away from simply living in the present and opening to our deepest essence, which you could describe as the fundamental 'creating' consciousness.

I am not actually rejecting my channelled information in the sense of believing that it's all untrue, but rather, I'm simply letting go of it because I can't know what of it, if anything, is true or indeed untrue, and because I recognise it as stories designed to entrap us into living more deeply within illusion. In other words I leave my mind fully open now about interpretations of my (and our) life experiences, trusting my own deepest intuition and good sense rather than any apparently external source for gaining any necessary information or responding appropriately to life situations.

As for other resultant changes in my life, I note the following:

• Symbols. I'd already discontinued using these, as recommended by the problematical 'lightworker' Dalibor Zaviska*, who had largely unsuccessfully sought to assist me in my clearance of my entity interferences, and now felt much reinforced in keeping clear of these. Last summer I'd got a whole pile of T-shirts (for my own use) printed with the 'Am Re' symbol - very beautiful but now clearly something of an albatross around my neck. So I jettisoned them (pity about the waste, but I didn't want to give the symbols to anyone else to wear) and ordered some more T-shirts (nice coloured ones), which won't get anything printed on them**.

  * You can read something of his brief distinctly problematical involvement with me in My Own Self Realization Path - Updates and The Guide to Complete Self Realization. So far two ex-clients of his have spontaneously written to me, telling me of serious problems they picked up from the entities which are interfering with him. I consider myself fortunate to have got off as lightly as I did.
  

  ** Well, actually I did fleetingly think a smiley might be rather nice, but actually that would have been quite superfluous, because a much nicer and more interesting smiley would actually be wearing the shirts!

• Sacred geometry healing wands. I'd accumulated an impressive array of these powerful and quite beautiful devices custom made by a particular lightworker. Unfortunately such geometric structures as are used on these wands are limiting as to what energies can channel through them, and, despite genuinely channelling healing energies, they would be tending to do so in disruptive and unbalancing ways. Also, they are intrinsically a distraction from the most powerful, balanced and comprehensive healing method (see below).

  Also, my deeper intuition tells me that the symbols or energy structures on which those wands are based are being covertly used by the dark forces. I've no doubt it's significant that during my severe troubles with the dark entities the latter never sought to get me to destroy or get rid of those wands, nor indeed to stop using them*.

  * Especially significant, considering how strenuously the entities sought to prevent me from using The Work, which is so effective in clearing emotional issues and indeed illusion.

  Also significant is that since I started really getting clear of the dark force confusions, the maker of those wands behaved increasingly strangely towards me, eventually cutting off all contact with me in a hostile manner unbelievable for one regarded as a healer and lightworker - even threatening with a menacing tone that if I so much as e-mailed him again he would contact the Police and use my "record of mental illness" against me* - the latter referring to the hospitalizations recorded in My Little Brush With Psychiatry, which are indelibly included in my official medical records, which thus can be exploited by irresponsible people.

  * It's actually a bizarre and empty threat of his, for he has no evidence on which to base any sort of meaningful complaint about me. "Please, Sir, Philip Goddard's just sent me an e-mail after I'd told him not to, and he has a record of mental illness!" I can see that going down a treat with the Police! 

  After a few weeks' prudent 'cooling off' period I consigned the wands to landfill along with my regular domestic refuse - as I couldn't think of anything more beneficial to do with them - no matter that the total financial cost of those wands to me had been approaching £2,000. I do not want to pass on to other people the distorted sort of healing (and likely accentuation of illusion and dark force connection) which I think those wands would have been giving me (despite the good intentions of their maker).

• Healing work. Already, thanks to taking on Dalibor Zaviska's methods for entity clearance, I was invoking only my specially set up Divine Support Team of supposedly true high-level Light beings for healings. Now, although I'm not actually denying them or shutting them out, I'm putting my primary focus on - yes - my core essence, "the all-pervading consciousness of which I and and all living things are manifestations". I no longer think of the Divine Support Team as necessarily real, discrete beings but more as a manifestation of that consciousness which is myself and all things. This simplicity in fact gives potentially the most powerful, balanced and comprehensive healing that is possible. I simply allow that highest source which is myself and all things to channel and work through me, without my seeking to direct it.

  Later note (October 2007) - Having now got much greater clarity as my clearance process accelerates further, I now clearly understand that Dalibor's methods did not significantly work on me, and both he and I were at the time being extensively deceived by the astral ('dark') forces in being given the impression of entities being removed. Also, I am now clear that the so-called Divine Support Team were, just like any supposed higher beings, inventions of the astral forces and existed only within the astral sub-reality of illusion and delusion, and thus were something to steer well clear of.
  

  I'm thankful to say that I subsequently found clearance methods that really do work, and which are free of astral influence and limitations - see Healing and Self Realization - The Safest and Quickest Way.

• Without concerning myself about 'spiritual scenarios', life straightaway has come to feel much simpler and fundamentally more happy and joyful, though initially I had a pile of grief feelings to release as a result of letting go of so many things, stories and inner connections which had been sort-of comforting to me but which had been keeping me diverted from the really happy way forward - living fully in the present and rapidly becoming totally free of dark force interference.

Finally, I'd like to share a couple of EFT setup statements which I found extremely valuable in clearing the nasty emotional feelings that were initially surfacing as a result of this change of tack of mine. If you get to similarly dropping all the belief, 'story' and 'spiritual reality' (i.e. illusory reality) in your life, you will find it very helpful to use the EFT with similar setup statements. However, that was useful only as an interim measure, because once I'd established regular Power Walking I apparently had no further need or cause to use either the EFT or The Work or indeed any other emotional clearance method.

• "Although I feel lost and that I'm going to die without any story to my life, I deeply and completely love and accept myself, and I choose to stand my full height and enjoy my adventure [or my life] in the present, clear of all clutter and baggage."

• "Although I feel that I have nothing to live for and will die miserably, I deeply and completely love and accept myself, and I choose to stand my full height and joyfully live my life day by day."

Why channelling is intrinsically a 'dark' phenomenon
(there is NO truly beneficial channelling)...

This section details a new insight which I've gained later in 2007 as I experienced a dramatic acceleration of my process of clearance of all entities and other astral influences from myself, and thus could see more clearly what the latter had been previously hiding from me.

What had always seemed a bit bewildering to me and to many other people was just why there should be, on the one hand, all these supposedly higher beings available to us with masses of wisdom, guidance and 'story' about our past and supposed higher 'realities', and on the other hand all these masses of troublesome astral entities distorting or completely hijacking the communication line from those higher beings.

As I've already acknowledged further above, all those higher beings are bogus - inventions of the astral entities. Yet how is it, then, that the astral entities, with tremendously harmful agenda and no love or 'enlightened' wisdom, manage to create simulations of higher beings which all too often come out with masses of apparently wise words and on the face of it appear so loving as compared with the completely 'heart-less' and negative astral entities?

It appears that I have the answer now, and it is an amazingly simple and obvious one if you let go of preconceptions and get truly 'looking and listening within' while ignoring any apparently external messages.

As already noted further above, I now recognise our true, 'highest' source of all the information and understanding, and indeed all the healing energies, that we need is not outside ourselves but is one's own core essence, which is 'the Ultimate'. So, that is where to turn in order to get truly pure, undistorted information or healing energies.

However, there is a catch about that. Although little bits of valuable 'intuition' and wise, aware thoughts do seep up from our core essence to our ordinary minds, for the most part almost none of us can to any useful extent 'hear' it directly, because in order to be able to do so we need to be not just enlightened but self realized well beyond that stage, and clear of at least most of our astral interference (which latter all so-called enlightened masters have, although generally they do not recognise this and so they give out distorted teachings).

It's not that our core essence isn't being responsive to our thoughts and questions. Unheard by your ordinary mind, there is an ongoing effusion of subtle 'thoughts' coming out from your deepest aspects in response to what's going on in your ordinary mind. The problem, however, is that the group of astral entities which have been detailed by their 'overlords' to interfere with you, can 'hear' those wise and extensively informed 'thoughts' which your ordinary mind can't 'hear' - and the entities ruthlessly exploit this fact. They have no real understanding of the love and clarity of your true nature, but they are skilful deceivers and they are amazing in their ability to take the information and ideas from your deepest aspects and select and string together pieces and insert others, with or without major distortions, to make up stories, which can be very troublesome fiction as I often experienced, but can include whole eloquent, 'loving' outpourings of 'wisdom' which convince people that they are channelling 'true' higher beings such as Archangel Michael.

What I'm saying, then, is that these astral beings have created for us the whole bogus phenomenon of channelling, as one of their myriad ploys and deceits to lure us away from true self realization. Without their inventing and presenting to us all these simulations of higher beings and fooling us into believing that there are sources of information and wisdom 'higher' than ourselves, we would not have such a phenomenon at all and so would be much more inclined to progressively open to our deepest aspects 'as Nature intended' and become not only enlightened but fully self realized.

To sum up, then - when a person is channelling, no matter what appears to be the nature of the channelling source, the latter is actually astral ('dark') entities presenting themselves as some sort of beneficial presence (yes, even supposedly true Divine beings), which are (mis)using messages and data gathered from their eavesdropping into your deeper aspects which you can't hear directly.

So, even anyone who is channelling, for example, an apparently 100% squeaky-clean and positive 'Archangel Michael' or 'Holy Spirit' is actually, unbeknown to themselves, in serious trouble. ALL astral force involvement, however innocent and unrecognised, is a very serious problem for the affected person, at least in the long run (including especially after this lifetime).

"But how can there be anything wrong with the wonderful and wise channellings from Jeshua [or other specified 'higher' being]?"

Easily! Let's stop and think about what is going on between that 'Jeshua' [or other] source and the people who get to know those channellings. I've actually been shown excerpts of channellings from an entity calling itself Jeshua, which is why I'm using that name as an example. What immediately struck me was:

• A truly beneficial, 'higher' being would be well aware of our need to focus within ourselves for all the information and support we need for our self realization process, and so would know not to be communicating with us AT ALL and luring us away from our true 'highest' reality which is our own deepest aspects - apart perhaps for a succinct message something like "All you need do is to tune into your deepest aspects and be a living manifestation of them. Now it's up to you to get on with it if you're serious about turning your life around. Goodbye!".

• Received 'wisdom' is actually no wisdom, but impresses people (who are actually themselves being manipulated by astral entities into feeling impressed by supposedly wise words in channellings, and also teachings from so-called masters), so that they are in denial of their own true nature and don't look into themselves for their own most appropriate insights into their life situations. Again, a (postulated) truly beneficial higher being would know this and not channel such stuff to us. So, this is clearly identifiable as part of the astral forces' agenda to take us away from self realization and self determination and increasingly into their control.

• I put it to you - where in such channellings are direct, simple and concise instructions for one's own self realization, together with counsel to awarely and flexibly use those and keep clear of all apparently external sources of information / wisdom / healing? Where in such channellings do they tell you of the overriding importance of discarding the notion of 'the Light' or indeed 'spirituality' and going for fully grounded clarity, clear-mindedness and self realization (without guru, because your own deepest aspects are your own true 'guru'!)?

  Again the fact that such obvious direct needs are neither met nor even recognised in such channellings shows that the channellings are not coming from beneficial sources at all, never mind how wise, uplifting and loving they may superficially appear. Many such channellings of course offer all sorts of 'spiritual' or healing practices, but these are all at best obfuscating the simple requirements for self realization, and generally, whether subtly or less so, they are practices which increase the hold of the astral forces upon you. Typically they are all ungrounding practices.

• In this context I've become acutely aware of how even Jesus (at least, as far as I can tell from the various bits of documentation about him) was being considerably manipulated by astral entities and delivering distorted 'teachings'. How do I come to that conclusion? -- Simple! Even after I've filtered out nearly all of the Biblical account of him because of its astral-sourced fictional status, there appears to remain the fact that he kept telling parables and saying things (those 'aphorisms' of his), which were impressing people and making them followers and worshipers of him and his 'teachings' rather than getting on with a true process of self realization.

  As I've explained in Exit 'Spirituality' - Enter Clarity, it's not enough that Jesus was a great 'spiritual' teacher, for the whole concept of 'spirituality' is astral ('dark') sourced and aimed at luring us away from the self realization which is our true need. A truly enlightened teacher, clear of astral influence, would know, or quickly learn, to operate in ways that didn't encourage people to hang on one's words and become 'disciples' and followers, and would really help direct them into their true self realization 'process', which needs no guru. In reality, each one of us is his/her own 'Saviour'!

  It has been pointed out to me that Jesus himself was warning people about the archons (astral 'lords') and their ways. This may or may not be true (nobody can go back there now and find out what he was really saying), but even if it is correct, it in no way detracts from my simple observation above, and it underlines the fact that NOBODY is exempt from interference and influences from the astral forces. Despite my now considerable clarity about the way these entities and 'forces' operate, I make no assumption at any point that I myself am free of their influence, and I would encourage everyone to be vigilant (in a sensible and positive way) about such influences upon every single person with whom they have dealings in any way at all. No 'great' teachers or 'masters' are exempt from such influences.

Dowsing is not exempt!

Dowsing is generally just a particular case of the same phenomenon, and is mediated by astral entities, and so, however benign your dowsing may seem, you are increasing the hold of the astral forces upon you, and opening yourself to them. Also, if you are using a pendulum, unless it is one of the Perfect Pendulums marketed by Stephen and Lynda Kane, the pendulum itself, especially if a crystal one, will be creating disruptions in your energy system which, quite apart from long-term health considerations, would themselves be making you more accessible to astral ('dark') entities. The common notion that there are means to 'protect and ground yourself' when using a pendulum are misinformation given to us from the astral forces in order to encourage people to use pendulums despite their better intuitions not to do so.

The real way through - energy testing

There is in fact a way that suitable people can gain certain types of information from a non-physical source reasonably safely and keeping clear of the pitfalls of channelling and dowsing - and that is energy testing. This may appear superficially to be a sort of dowsing, and in a sense it is, but it is carried out in a rigorous way designed to gain answers from one's own deepest aspects and bypass all would-be external interferences. However, you cannot use it to gain many sorts of information which people seek to gain through channelling. If you try to do so, what you would actually be doing is reverting to channelling and thus involving yourself with the astral forces again, and any information gained would be suspect at best, however convincing it appeared to be.

For more information, please see Energy Testing - A Brief Guide, which is in Word format for easy printing out.

"This is all too absolutist and black-and-white! All you need is to use discernment about channelled information."

There is a big difference between, on the one hand, somebody who is rigid and opinionated and 'sees things in black and white' and, on the other hand, a person who has clear vision and actually cuts through the normal astral sourced confusions and actually sees and describes what is really going on. The astral forces control most people into accepting confusions and inconsistencies in their outlooks so that they then react against anyone who has a clearer and more consistent view on life experience. Until mid 2007 I myself had the confused notion that all I needed to do about channelling and channelled information was to "use discernment" - i.e. to accept the 'good' bits and discard the rest. But if you aren't truly clear of astral influence, what worth that supposed 'discernment'? - A point which was driven home for me by very hard experience.

As I explain on this page, there is really no such thing as 'good bits' in channelled information, because what appear to be 'good bits' are there only to lure us and lead us astray. The whole mechanism of channelling and nearly all dowsing involves the relaying of information (and misinformation) by astral ('dark') entities, and thus what our supposed discernment regards as the 'good bits' are themselves still bound to contain distortions, which can be very subtle but still troublesome in their ultimate effect in diverting us away from true self realization.

Interestingly but predictably, I have seen a post in a forum of lightwork- and channelling-oriented people, in which much of this article was posted*, omitting, among other things, the absolutely crucial section preceding this one, about energy testing. Forum members were all colluding in the above criticisms (quoted in the heading of this section) of what I've written on this page - NONE of them actually doing energy testing to find out what viewpoint would actually be  most beneficial for them to adopt at the present time. Such people have not in the slightest understood the essence of what I've written on this page and most likely various other pages of mine, no doubt because at least most of them are already archon programmed (i.e. they are people who have already soul-reincarnated)** and have a 'ceiling' to their awareness which prevents them from letting go of their preconceptions when faced with somebody who has the clarity of vision of a new-soul incarnation who has consistently been clearing out all astral interference from himself.

* Please note that I ask that only links, not actual articles of mine, be posted, because posting of the articles themselves is (a) breach of copyright and (b) thoughtless and unhelpful to everyone involved because I'm constantly updating and correcting pages on this site and so any copies posted elsewhere will soon become out of date. Short quotes for review purposes are of course excepted from that stipulation.

** For more about this please see Interference and Attacks From Astral ('Dark') Entities.

It is not for me to claim that I am right and anyone else is wrong over any particular matter, but I can but point to energy testing as the true way forward, and I would ask people like those in the abovementioned forum to consider carefully just why the section above on energy testing gets completely ignored, and why they are happy to stay within their comfortable but hopelessly confused "All you need is a bit of discernment" notion without one shred of evidence to back up their shared opinion.

If you take up energy testing and use it carefully and with great discernment, you can start finding out for yourself whether it would be beneficial for you at the present time to channel or accept channelled information at all, and also whether or not it would be better for you to heed what I have written on this and other pages on this site. Opinions on the subject without awarely and vigilantly applied energy testing are just opinions, not statements of fact, and are thus worthless.
