What do you make of Channeling?

[Thought Art]

When I see videos like this I just think it’s BS. Is she shameless? Or is she mentally ill? It’s an act? A self deception? Is there anything legitimate about this? Why does she speak like Bashar. I’ve read books or parts of books that are profound and supposedly channeled… I am not against it existing if it does.  But this seems like new age nonsense even the alien names are from the new age culture book.

She channels all kinds of different groups and speaks always within the same paradigm, vocal pattern. I think she’s a little bit self deceived. The narratives aren’t unique or original, they are human opinions we have in our culture already but feint framed as channeled wisdom. 
 

The guy that channels Bashar is doing the same thing. It’s not real channeling to me. If channeling is even possible.

What is going on here psychologically?

I’ve had to do a lot of work to develop a spiritual approach that at least attempts to merge and use science and spiritual tradition. A lot of this new age stuff it corrupt.

What do these people think they are doing? Do they fact check their beliefs? Is it just spiritual ego? Whatever this is it isn’t a part of a true spirituality. It’s something else.

I study Qigong, which has language in it that is new age like and I am sure people even tend to think it’s new age. But, it’s not completely so. There is somatic, mindfulness, breathing logic to it in my perspective. Though Qigong like any field has good and bad claims.

I consider meditation, contemplation, psychedelics, pranayama, Qigong, reading, and observation aspects of my spiritual practice. It’s clear to me consciousness, is foundational. I also think it’s clear humans are energetic conscious beings. Yet, the human body is beyond complex and requires many lenses to grasp it. Making sense of them is not easy. I am of course not a doctor but I have access to lots of information. 
 

 

But channeling, distance viewing, distance healing. I don’t buy it. These and many new age ideas of fantasy, story telling. Group think, beliefs, narratives. It’s ideology and pretend to feel a certain way.

Channeling is as old as spirituality. Particularly in shamanic practices. Leaving the body, being in a trance state, and letting another entity take over to do certain work and or give certain knowledge is a common thing in shamanism. And most traditions have their own version of that. 

Everyone is a channel to be fair. By attunement to a certain vibration you're always channeling either love or fear into the world. Presence or ego.

I know you don’t like Bashar but he has some good advice when it’s not too new agey

@integration journey Good advice isn’t proof of channeling an alien though

Exiting the body usually happens in a state between sleep and wakefulness. 

Doing it completely awake is elite.

I managed to do that only once and I've had thousands of OBEs.

There's no way these guys are doing that.

They are not exiting the body. Including the guy channeling bashar.

If it’s real, these popular channellers ain’t doing it
