Channelling is the gaining of information or messages from non-physical beings or 'entities', and is usually meant or assumed to be gaining that data from 'higher' and supposedly beneficial beings. I have come to understand that there is a pressing reason why channelling, and indeed almost all dowsing, is not a cool option: these practices operate through the dark force, and the supposed higher beings are simply illusions created in one's mind by the dark force. Thus by channelling, and indeed in nearly all dowsing, you are putting yourself more in the control of 'the dark side', which would lead to very serious problems for you, at least in the long term. This is why ALL channelling, and almost all dowsing is intrinsically unreliable and almost certain to lead people astray in seriously problematical ways. |

Shopping for Spirit by Steve Gamble - especially Chapter 9. This challenging and in some ways seriously problematical and misleading writing explains in some detail how astral entities - whatever their ultimate nature may be - seriously interfere with people and indeed Humanity in general, getting very many people attached to illusory 'spiritual realities'. There are significant differences in detail in the picture he presents, as compared with the picture I present in The True Nature of 'The Dark Force' and its Interference and Attacks, but he is referring to the same phenomenon.
It appears to me that there are distortions and inaccuracies in what he writes, but nonetheless he does present some extremely important information and goes into more detail than I do - though that is actually a weakness of his relating to this subject, because the more 'story' you get into, the more you are liable to be led astray by the dark force.
Also, a problem with his writings is that he is tending to present all the details of the scenario of 'archon' interference with people as though they are 'reality', whereas we can never know what is 'real'. In contrast, I put forward my variant of that scenario merely as a working model to use for healing and self actualization purposes and then to be purposefully let go of like any other scenario involving non-physical dimensions or realms.

Over the years I have regularly looked in forums where people have posted about the contents of this and certain other pages on this site, and so far every time this has been a pretty frustrating and discouraging experience. Why? Because people are disagreeing with me?
-- No, it's not that (although indeed, predictably, plenty of people do 'disagree' with me). It's because so far I have seen no sign of even one person having read this (or the other respective pages) really carefully and without some sort of preconception that causes them to have a seriously distorted interpretation of at least some part of what I've written - even on the rare occasion when somebody does more or less 'agree' with what they think I've written.
It would be so helpful if people who come here would let go of their preconceived notions and read carefully what I'm actually saying - and then sleep on it and then re-read it to see where their interpretation of what I've written has actually turned it into something else, so that they can at least get a more accurate view of what I've written - whether or not they eventually choose to 'agree' with it.
I wouldn't mind so much if people at least took issue with what I am actually saying, but they almost invariably go telling the world that I "believe" or am "claiming" this and that and the other that actually I hadn't said at all, or they radically change the meaning of something by taking it out of context, and typically a succession of people then go pulling the stuffing out of what I'd actually never said in the first place, then regarding me as some sort of deluded 'nutter' with very confused ideas, who is best steered clear of. The reality is that it is the people who keep misinterpreting and misrepresenting my writings who are the confused ones.
It would help so much if those who are about to make forum posts about any of my material checked carefully the accuracy of any supposed quote or interpretation of that material before making their post.
Also, a careful reader would understand from what I've written, that I hold no beliefs, and that what I present below is a set of helpful working hypotheses (at least they've helped me greatly) - NOT a statement of categorical fact, apart from recounting actual observations / experiences of mine. So, anyone who says "Philip Goddard believes that..." is straightaway off the rails, simply spouting opinion, and is not worth heeding at all.

In order to fully understand the contents of this and many other pages on this site it is necessary to carefully read Exit 'Spirituality' - Enter Clear-Mindedness, which provides essential background information.
In the spring of 2007 I removed from this site more or less all of the information that I'd channelled (i.e. obtained from non-physical sources) over the previous few years, and many supposed insights that I'd gained from it.
Those people who were really careful and aware in reading the various pages of mine containing channelled information would have noted that I was consistently careful to caution prominently on every such page that such channelled information couldn't be relied upon and didn't reflect a belief that I held, for I couldn't know what was true; the most I could do was point to what might be true. Indeed, my prominent cautions also linked to a page on which I wrote at some length about many problems with channelled information, which made it inherently unreliable, no matter who was doing the channelling, and no matter what the alleged information source.
For this reason, my change to completely rejecting all channelled information was not such a big volte face for me as many people had been thinking. I'd simply become consistent, and had started fully following the logic of the cautions I'd been giving all along about channelled material, also taking on board the more recently acquired insight that every bit of channelling (by anyone) puts the person under more control or influence of the dark force. Having had a gutful of the latter myself (see The Dark Force ('Astral Entities') - My Own Tough Experiences), I'm naturally very keen to keep fully clear of even the slightest dark force connections.
While many people would have initially thrown up their hands in horror at
the thought of my making such a change, others would no doubt have wanted to
pile in and tell me "I [could have] told you so!". Anyway, no matter - things
are as they are! ![]()
Many people who visited this site any time from late 2003 up to April 2007 would be aware that during that time I was channelling and having major interference problems with that channelling, caused by the dark force (what I was then interpreting as 'astral beings'). 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 beneficial, regardless of any superficial appearance, and further below I explain why.
What prompted me actually to remove channelled information from this 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 elements of 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 dark force influences that affect healers and 'lightworkers' generally, and which he is so outspoken against.
In my post-mid-2007 rewriting of my major writing that is now called The True Nature of 'The Dark Force' and its Interference and Attacks I sought to give a more balanced and helpful picture. One of the ways in which Steve had come adrift was in presenting his view and 'story' concerning 'astral' (dark force) interference and influences as though it was 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 actualization purposes, because we can never really know what is 'true' or 'fact' with regard to non-physical realities and entities. Also, he was very inconsistent about supposed 'higher' realities and in fact was still believing in certain levels of 'higher reality' as genuine and wholesome, and somehow 'above' us, even though in parts of his writings he apparently (and, as far as I can make out, correctly) warned that anything that appeared to be a higher reality or higher being or 'presence' is bogus. He actually claimed that there is a 'genuine' spirit world, which again marks a real inconsistency in his writings, and points to his own level of dark force interference.
As part of the clearance process of my issue with interferences from the dark force during the first part of 2007 I'd already closed to channelling because I understood that my channelling or asking for 'guidance' from what seemed to be external beings was just empowering the interfering dark force 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 what were claimed to be 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 that were very much part of the whole 'New Age' movement (which is to varying extents a 'dark force' snare for people aspiring towards self actualization / self realization). 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 systems and methods 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 the dark force is 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 actualization that would free them from dark force control for good. So, with the particular 'spiritual' insights and healing methods that I'd picked up I had got myself unawarely accepting 'dark force' agendas - which led to my tremendous troubles with 'astral beings' (i.e. really the dark force) 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, from which, with diligence and discernment, I would be able to channel from the highest possible source, and so Steve's writings had 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 genuinely outside of ourselves.
Despite the serious shortcomings in Steve Gamble's writings, what I did read caused many things that 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 that I'd experienced over the previous few years.
The great liberation was to fully recognise - as I'd already half done - that the only useful way forward to full self actualization / self realization and freedom from 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 actualization 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' and purer 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 actualization, 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 that is truly the 'highest', purest and most reliable source of guidance and healing.
So, I dropped all remaining adherence to information that I had channelled - including the following:
Following on from that, I then removed or radically revised much information given on my other pages here. Such morsels of information (or rather, stories) had 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 didn't actually reject my channelled information in the sense of believing that it was all untrue (after all, that would have been simply another limiting belief), but rather, I was simply letting go of it because I couldn't know what of it, if anything, was true or indeed untrue, and because I recognised it as stories designed to entrap us into living more deeply within illusion. In other words I left my mind fully open from then on about interpretations of my (and our) apparent 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.
However, particularly during 2008 I did manage to build up an extremely helpful working model (NOT a belief system!) of what our broader context really is, and the part the dark force is playing in that - and this includes a refreshingly different angle on what is really going on with regard to reincarnation and supposed past lives.
As for other resultant changes in my life, I note the following:
Symbols. I'd already discontinued using these, following recommendation from one particular healer, and I now felt much reinforced in keeping clear of them. In the summer of 2006 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 wouldn't get anything printed on them*.
* 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 are limiting as to what energies can channel through them, and, despite some of them genuinely channelling what are widely regarded as 'healing' energies, they had been doing so in disruptive and unbalancing ways. Also, they were intrinsically a distraction from the most powerful, balanced and comprehensive healing method (see below).
Also, my deeper intuition was indicating to me* that the symbols or energy structures on which those wands were based were being covertly used by the dark force. I've no doubt it's significant that during my severe troubles with the dark force the latter never sought to get me to destroy or get rid of those wands, nor indeed to stop using them**.
* Yes, my own deepest aspects were getting some important 'nudges' through to my 'ordinary mind' despite all the obfuscational interferences from the dark force. And that was before I'd taken up energy testing, of which more further below, which, as part of a deep inner inquiry process, was to very much reinforce that view and enable me to get a much clearer understanding of the extremely harmful and indeed sinister role the sacred geometry wands had been playing in my dark force troubles.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 didn't want to pass on to other people the serious types of problem that I think those wands were giving me (despite any supposed good intentions of their maker).
** Especially significant, considering how strenuously the dark force sought to prevent me from using The Work, which is so effective in clearing emotional issues and indeed illusion.
Healing work. I rapidly let go of the notion of my so-called Divine Support Team, which was a bogus invention of the dark force for the purpose of diverting me away from working from my own core essence, quite apart from the various serious problems it was covertly seeking to lead me into. Please see Healing and Self Actualization - The Safest and Quickest Way for a concise presentation of the whole methodology that I then started developing and putting together - methods that are all free of dark force involvement.
Without concerning myself about 'spiritual scenarios', life straightaway came 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 that 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. As far as I can ascertain, actually that grief was NOT my own, but was experienced because at that time the dark force was attacking me with grief emotions carried by the parasitic lost souls attached to me.
Finally, I'd like to share a couple of EFT setup statements that 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 could 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 Self-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."
But, as I say, nowadays I wouldn't bother with the EFT for this sort of stuff or indeed anything, because I have methods which work more effectively for me. In this particular case I would nowadays use Self-Power Walking and the Grounding Post procedure, also tuning my Energy Egg to the inevitable emotional 'button pushing' involved.
This section details a new insight that I gained later in 2007 and into 2008 as I experienced a dramatic acceleration of my process of clearance of all entities and dark force 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.
What was also rather bewildering, specifically to me because of my being enlightened, was the big discrepancy between all such scenarios of supposed higher realities and non-physical beings on the one hand, and on the other hand my direct perception (through being enlightened) of consciousness actually being apparently a simple continuum between my superficial, most dualistic awareness (what is almost universally and extremely misleadingly called the mind) and the deepest level of consciousness - fundamental consciousness (aka universal consciousness) itself, with no discernible intervening discrete levels of consciousness or of 'reality' at all, and no 'higher beings' nor indeed 'spirits' of any kind.
As I've already acknowledged further above, as far as I can ascertain, all those 'higher' beings (and indeed all 'lower' ones too) are bogus - inventions of the dark force. Yet how is it, then, that the dark force, with tremendously harmful agenda and no aware consciousness that could manifest love and 'enlightened' wisdom, manages to create simulations of higher beings that 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' (illusory again) that you might think of as quintessentially 'dark force'?
It appears that I do have the answer now, and it is an amazingly simple and obvious one if you fully let go of preconceptions and get truly 'looking and listening within' while ignoring any apparently external messages - though unfortunately most people could not do that because they have soul programming and so they are locked into their preconceptions and are unable to open to sufficiently deep levels of their being. Instead they get attached to the words of individuals who are duped by the dark force into channelling from any of a huge menagerie of illusory 'higher' beings, and then go recommending those deluded channels' writings and books to others like me who have had the clarity to see through that pernicious garbage.
As already noted further above, I came to recognise that our true, 'highest' source of all the information and understanding, and indeed all the healing 'energies', that we need is not outside oneself 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 deeply aware thoughts and deeply held knowledge 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 actualized well beyond that stage, and clear of at least most of our dark force interference (which latter, as far as I've so far been able to ascertain, 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' (i.e. your most superficial, dualistic awareness), 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 dark force can 'hear' those loving and extensively informed 'thoughts' that your ordinary mind can't 'hear' - and it ruthlessly exploits this fact. It has no understanding of the love and clarity of your true nature, but it is a skilful deceiver and is amazing in its 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' that convince people that they are channelling 'true' higher beings such as Archangel Michael or, indeed, 'God'.
What I'm saying, then, is that the dark force has created for us the whole bogus phenomenon of channelling, as one of its myriad ploys and deceits to lure us away from true self actualization. Without its 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 as channelling 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 self actualized to the optimal extent.
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 an illusion created in the person's mind by the dark force - presenting itself as some sort of beneficial presence (yes, even supposedly true Divine beings), which are (mis)using messages and data gathered from the dark force's eavesdropping into the person's deeper aspects, which the person 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 dark 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).
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 a supposed higher being 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 actualization 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!".
'Wisdom' is actually not what any of us need*,
but it impresses people (who are actually themselves being manipulated by the
dark force 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 dark force's agenda to take us away from
self actualization and self determination and increasingly into its control.
* The whole concept of 'wisdom' is actually from 'the dark side', specifically to get us looking up to others and getting attached to 'wise words' rather than opening up our own deepest awareness and clarity of thought and being. That is what we really need in place of so-called wisdom. Having 'wisdom' administered to us is inherently disempowering. Getting our own most appropriate answers from our own deepest aspects is inherently self empowering, and points us straight away more towards genuine self actualization (including enlightenment).
I put it to you - Where in such channellings are direct, simple and concise instructions for one's own self actualization / 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 actualization (without guru, because your own deepest aspects are all you need as a source from which to get the information that you need)?
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 even at best these are all still obfuscating the simple requirements for self actualization, and generally, whether subtly or less so, they are practices that increase the hold of the dark force upon you. Typically they are all ungrounding practices, and none of them is simply a matter of working only from your core essence.
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 the dark force 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 dark force sourced fictional status, there appears to remain the fact that he kept telling parables and saying things (those 'aphorisms' of his) that were impressing people and making them followers and worshippers of him and his 'teachings' rather than getting on with a true process of self actualization.
As I've explained in Exit 'Spirituality' - Enter Clear-mindedness, it's not enough that Jesus was a great 'spiritual' teacher, for the whole concept of 'spirituality' is dark force sourced (involving illusory realities, however subtle) and aimed at luring us away from the self actualization that is our true need. A truly enlightened teacher, clear of dark force influence, would know, or quickly learn, to operate in ways that didn't encourage people to hang on his words and become 'disciples' and followers, and would instead help direct them into their true self actualization 'process', which, as I say, 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' (supposed 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 were 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 dark force. Despite
my now considerable clarity about the way the dark force operates, I make no
assumption at any point that I myself am free of its influence (even though I
appear to be getting relatively free of it), and I
would encourage everyone to be vigilant (in a sensible and positive way) about
such influences upon themselves and every single person with whom they have
dealings in any way at all. No 'great' teachers or 'masters' are exempt from
such influences.
* In which case that would be a further indication that Jesus was being deceived by the dark force, because, as I now understand, archons are not true beings at all, but just another term for what I'd been calling 'astral beings' and their postulated 'overlords' - certain illusions created in people's minds by the dark force. The latter cultivates in people the untruth that it is actual beings and even lords or overlords, because when a person believes that the dark force is actual beings and that these have power, the effect is to greatly reinforce the power of the dark force over that person and all other people.
Dowsing is generally just a particular case of the same phenomenon as channelling, and is mediated by the dark force, and so, however benign your dowsing may seem, when you dowse you are using the dark force and increasing its hold upon you and opening yourself to it. 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 non-physical aspects ('energy system'), which, quite apart from long-term health considerations, would themselves be making you more accessible and vulnerable to the dark force. The common notion that there are means to 'protect and ground yourself' when using a pendulum are misinformation given to us from the dark force in order to encourage people to use pendulums despite their better intuitions not to do so.

The person who said the above in a forum post, referring to the contents of this page, clearly had not read it properly, and clearly didn't want to engage in any sort of challenging self scrutiny - and was also distinctly attached to his / her channelling.
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 cuts through the normal dark force sourced confusions and actually sees and describes what is really going on. The dark force controls 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 dark force influence, what worth that supposed 'discernment'? - A point that was driven home for me by my own very hard experience.
Wouldn't it be so much better still to use sufficient discernment that you recognise the inherent problem about channelling and simply stop doing it, as part of a general move to clear out all dark force interferences and influences in your life?!
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 so that we can be led astray by particular elements or aspects of
the channelled 'information'. The whole mechanism of channelling and nearly all
dowsing involves the relaying of information (and misinformation) by the dark
force, 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
actualization. Actually the worst thing about all those 'good bits' is not even
any factual distortions in them (which they would still often have, however),
but the insidiously misleading context in which they are presented to the
channel / medium.
During my most troublesome
times with the dark force (late 2003 to early 2007), there was one
particular way in which I was constantly being my own worst saboteur - doggedly assuming that there was a 'higher' source from which
I could, or at least would eventually, be able to channel reliably*. It
was as soon as I let go of that assumption that things really started changing
for the better for me. True, there were other factors as well, but that letting
go of any notion of an external source - even an alleged 'higher consciousness'
of mine
- that I could usefully channel from marked the termination of a whacking great
'Achilles heel' in my whole strategy for self actualization and clearance from
myself of dark force interferences and attacks.
* Actually that assumption was so dogged because I was all the time picking up subtle messages from my own deepest aspects, to the effect that there really was a source for the deep knowledge and information that I needed to further my self actualization, and that was my own deepest aspects (only). But of course this was constantly being overlaid by a 'louder' and distorted version of those messages, so all the time motivating me to channel from some supposedly 'higher' presence - often my actually fictitious 'higher consciousness'.
The 'higher self' or 'higher consciousness' is one of the New-Age myths sourced from the dark force, which latter covertly informs us that our deepest aspects are somewhere outside of and 'above' us and are a 'higher self', so that then, when we are really (in our depths) meaning to be getting our information from our own core essence, we are diverted into interrogating an illusion of a supposedly separated off 'higher self' that communicates much like a 'guide', and thus we receive communications from the dark force in preference to the much quieter and more subtle communications from our own deepest aspects.
I have been accused of throwing out the baby with the bathwater in making that change, in cutting out channelling - but the people who make such accusations have not properly read and understood what I've written. How can I be throwing out any 'baby' when what I've actually done is to at long last point my attention to, and start using, the true 'highest' and purest source in all of 'Existence' (as far as I can tell) for gaining the information that is truly helpful for me to know? In reality I have at last found the baby that almost everyone else has abandoned and simply refuses to find! Other people almost universally are still looking for the elephant's footprints in the forest, refusing to countenance even the possibility that the elephant is locked up in their own basement!
The people who criticize me over this matter clearly are not enlightened and haven't yet any conception of what 'the Ultimate' really is (i.e. they have only belief about it), and so they look for it outside themselves, as the dark force and the people's soul programming (from the dark force) encourages them to. That 'highest' and purest source - 'the Ultimate' - is simply one's own deepest level or 'aspect' of consciousness, which is itself a micro-aspect or micro-facet of fundamental consciousness (aka universal consciousness). The moment you turn to a supposed 'higher self' (as though it were 'above' or separate from you) in order to gain information, you are turning to something lesser than 'the Ultimate' - and indeed, as my own experience clearly suggests, it is nothing more than an illusion given to you by the dark force, and the latter, posing as that postulated 'higher self', then relays to you your answers, complete with adulterations.
Interestingly but predictably, I have seen a post in a forum of lightwork- and channelling-oriented people, in which much of an earlier version 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 about me being "too absolutist" (quoted in the heading of this section) in 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 those people are already programmed by the dark force (i.e. they are people who have already soul-reincarnated)**. They would have a 'ceiling' to their awareness that prevents them from letting go of their preconceptions when faced with somebody who has the clarity of vision of a no-soul incarnation who has consistently been clearing out all dark force interference from himself.
* Please note that I ask that only links, not actual articles or web pages of mine, be posted on other websites, including forums, 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.

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 to find out what is most helpful specifically for oneself, 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.
* Actually I have come to the conclusion that unfortunately only a minority of interested people can use energy testing properly and reliably, because deeply held convictions and any more than a very little soul programming can seriously get in the way of getting genuine responses from one's own deepest aspects, and one's preconceptions and deeply held beliefs can effectively hijack the process just as the dark force is liable to do directly for many people. More about this in Energy Testing - A Brief Guide.
It is no doubt such people who most readily go into 'disagreement mode' over the contents of this page, misreading / misinterpreting what I've written and insisting on continuing to channel or accepting other people's channellings.
Oh no it isn't! ALL clairvoyance involves the dark
force showing you images or giving you information - but simply without letting
on that the images or information are coming from something other than your own
supposed 'seeing' ability. Nobody, at least without an extremely advanced
degree of self actualization (far beyond enlightenment) genuinely can 'see'
things clairvoyantly (i.e. without a highly problematical external influence
actually doing it for them), and for anyone who could 'see' thus, the sort of
things that could be perceived in that way would be for the most part quite
different from the sorts of image and information that people currently gain
'clairvoyantly' (i.e. really from the dark force). I don't know of a single
person who genuinely has such an ability - at least to any useful extent.
Actually, most likely any reasonably self actualized no-soul incarnation does basically have some degree of that genuine clairvoyant ability - BUT until / unless almost all of the person's dark force interference has been cleared, the bogus 'clair-perceptions' would dwarf and cover up the genuine ones.
So, ALL clairvoyance, together with ALL other 'clair-' perceptions such as clairaudience and clairsentience, is all part of the same phenomenon as channelling, and is worked by the dark force, for the dark force and ultimately for the benefit of nobody / nothing else.
