Better Without Channelling

My own situation with regard to channelling

In mid-April 2007 I started a task of removing 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 which I'd gained from it.

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 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 beneficial, 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 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 (he talks of 'archons') that he is so outspoken against. Indeed, a particular type of 'spirit' attachment that I found that he was carrying had been causing him to transmit to people, not only personally but through his writings, extremely problematical thought forms that can remain with the recipients indefinitely if they do not take measures (such as use of the Clarity-Sphere) to dissolve the thought forms that 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 the dark force.

In my post-mid-2007 rewriting of 'Astral Entities' - Interference and Attacks from 'The Dark Side' I have 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 realization 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 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 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 realization 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 entities' (i.e. 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 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 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 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' 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 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 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:

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

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, as recommended by the problematical 'lightworker' Dalibor Zaviska*, who had largely unsuccessfully sought to assist me in my clearance of my 'entity' (i.e. dark force) interferences, 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**.

  * You can read something of his brief distinctly problematical involvement with me in My Own Self Realization 'Path' - Part 2 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 dark force and a powerful controlling entity that were 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 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' to me 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 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.
  

  ** 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.

  Also significant was 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.

  * For more about that, and the really sinister scenario that I uncovered, please see the relevant section in The Dark Force ('Astral Entities') - My Own Tough Experiences.
  

  ** It was actually a bizarre and empty threat of his, for he had 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 didn't want to pass on to other people the serious types of problem that I think those wands were giving me (despite any good intentions of their maker).

• 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 Realization - 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. 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 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 Power Walking and the Grounding Post procedure, tied in with my ongoing use of the Clarity-Sphere. -- Except that in practice I'd be unlikely to use Power Walking now, because I appear to have virtually nothing to clear with it. However, the dark force can still attack me through a sneaky use of illusory realities*, and the Grounding Post procedure (with Clarity-Sphere) is ideal for clearing that sort of interference.

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

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 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 love or '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' that you might think of as quintessentially 'dark force'?

It appears that I 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.

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 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 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 realized well beyond that stage, and clear of at least most of our dark force 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' (i.e. 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 realization. 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 realized 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).

"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 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 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!".

• '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 realization 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 realization (including enlightenment).

• 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 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 these are all at best obfuscating the simple requirements for self realization, 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 realization.

  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 realization 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 realization '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 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 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 not exempt!

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, you are increasing the hold of the dark force 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 energy system, which, quite apart from long-term health considerations, would themselves be making you more accessible 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.

* Even the Perfect Pendulum does have the odd drawbacks, so any recommendation of mine has to bear a certain qualification. I explain about the drawbacks and how best to work around or resolve them in Energy Testing - A Brief Guide.

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 only, bypassing all would-be external interferences. However, you cannot use it to gain many sorts of information that 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 dark force 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.

"I channel Melchizedek, and he is God and he is love! I know because I experience it myself! You're right off the rails, and you need help, mate!"

The particular 'healer', a certain Mark Cox* in Exeter, who said the above to me in 2008 (going off on his bicycle in a frightened defensive huff at that point) was also telling me that I was mentally unstable and not to be trusted, just because he knew of the dark force's attempts to wreck me having caused me to be briefly hospitalized in 2004 and 2006, and because of the content of one of the fictions that the dark force had given me in 2004, which I'd never fully believed and actually dropped completely by early 2006. He was evidently frightened as hell of me and what I was uncovering about the true nature of the supposedly higher realities and higher beings with which he was addictively involved.

* Why do I name the individual here, in public? -- Because it is in both his and other people's best interests that he starts learning from his follies, and that people who have been seriously misled / misguided by him start realizing what is really going on and getting themselves clear of their own dark force interferences and influences. It would at least potentially be very helpful for him to read this page and indeed related pages on this site (and I mean, read them properly and carefully!), and to reconsider the nature of the experiences that he's been having relating to supposed higher realities and non-physical beings. He has no idea yet of what serious trouble he is in, nor of the serious trouble into which he has been leading other people.

I give due notice to all comers that I have a policy towards any person who bullshits me over issues relevant to this site - and that policy is that, where I determine that it would on balance be for the ultimate good of everyone concerned, I report that bullshitting in an appropriate place on this site, normally naming the person. If they don't like it, they can always get properly learning from what I have to say about their predicament, and then get mending their ways and so extricating themselves from their serious predicaments.

So, beware, Professor Sir Giles Waghorn-Shagbutt! Go exhibiting your superior, 'expert' views about what is on this site, and you too could find yourself hoist with your own petard on one of these pages, for everyone to see! (Ugh!)

Mark was a guy who was infatuated with his own self perceived prowess and personal status as a 'healer' and as a channel for all manner of supposed higher beings, including guides, 'ascended masters', angels, archangels and 'Christ consciousness', and who always communicated a belief in his being superior through doing so. And did he go on about his supposedly working with 'Christ Consciousness' when he thought he was working with it! He really wanted everyone in the (actually highly problematical) Reiki Shares group that he and I were in at that time (in 2002 or 2003) to know that he was working with 'Christ Consciousness', and how tremendously impressive this was.

Even then, not then knowing about the illusory nature of higher beings and 'presences', I was struck by something that was pretty obvious to me: I'd been enlightened since 1997 and so constantly perceived fundamental consciousness, which is 'the Ultimate' as far as anyone can tell, and here was this guy who was still far from enlightenment, who was even then regarding himself as superior to me because he was having all those psychic perceptions and experiences - and it was clear that even what he was calling 'Christ Consciousness' couldn't be anything as 'high' or fundamental as fundamental consciousness. So, naturally I was considerably underwhelmed by his enthusiastic boasts. Also, I understood even then that the very notion of 'Christ' was a religion-based deception, and anyone who used such terms was bound to be pointing in a very different direction from that of enlightenment and genuine self realization.

And he's still at it, it would appear! Now it's name is Melchizedek - that's all! The dark force will put on any one of a huge range of 'faces' to keep you hooked on its illusions. Mark told me that he'd felt the tremendous love of Melchizedek, which, he claimed, proved that the latter was 'God'. Well, he had a point in the latter, because all those non-physical beings, and indeed God, are ultimately one and the same - illusions created in one's mind by the dark force.

As to that tremendous, wonderful 'love' of which Mark spoke, I know more about that than he ever wanted to know about. I remember reading in one of Kyriakos Markides' books about the Cypriot 'spiritual teacher' Stylianos Atteshlis ('Daskalos'), that the latter had on one occasion recounted how on a smallish number of occasions he had had visitations from 'Jesus' (as a non-physical manifestation), and had experienced an absolutely tremendous and sublime feeling of love from him.

What neither Atteshlis nor Mark Cox understood was that the dark force gives people that 'wonderful', ecstatic feeling by actually attacking them in a particular way, in order to get them hooked on its illusory 'higher beings'. I know, because I've had it done to me. In my case allegedly it was the angel Metatron that did it - but even at the time I was pretty suspicious about that, and subsequently, as I cleared out the dark force influences I could see more and more clearly what had really been going on.

Atteshlis died still a captive and to a considerable extent a puppet of the dark force, and at the moment it looks as though my one-time sort-of friend Mark Cox will do likewise - like pretty well all people who believe in those actually illusory 'higher realities' and 'higher beings'. Do you really want to do likewise yourself?

In 'Astral Entities' - Interference and Attacks from 'The Dark Side' I explain what appears to be the fate of people who do not get themselves completely clear of their dark force sourced soul programming and the beliefs, illusory realities and attachments that the dark force has insinuated into their lives.

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

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 realization.

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 my alleged 'higher consciousness' - that I could usefully channel from marked the termination of a whacking great 'Achilles heel' in my whole strategy for self realization 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 that there really was a source for the deep knowledge and information that I needed to further my self realization, and it 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 'higher' presence - often my actually illusory 'higher consciousness'.

The 'higher self' or 'higher consciousness' is one of the New-Age myths sourced from the dark force, which 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 (as far as I can tell) in all of Existence 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 their 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) for 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) 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 programmed by the dark force (i.e. they are people who have already soul-reincarnated)** and 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 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, 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.
