In a mental technique, as awareness of mentation expands into other areas, there's always the danger that we'll attach some special providence to these thoughts, esp. if they don't appear to even be thoughts (they're that different). A message from beyond, from God, the Angel Archos X31A, Ascended Masters, Jesus -- instead of just seeing them as part of our interdependent continuum. Thus you have new agers who spontaneously begin to "channel" (largely a mental phenomenon) and attach real specialness to their own ignorance. Some go on the road with such inner narcissism, write channelled books, give workshops and consultations. Just curious. Do you find all "channeled" "knowledge" as bunk? Just asking. I don't have an ulterior motive. I have on occassion gotten value from this venue (reading books) in the past, but haven't gone that route (or any route for that matter) in some time. But I have found some of it insightful.
