I did listen and I can assure you having been a channel and having known more
than a few other channels, he is simply creating a riff on the standard "I am
the archangel Gabriel or I channel Mother Mary."
Its the same stuff, to appeal to a certain audience. I admit, having done it
for so long, I am not too impressed or perhaps one could say jaded with the
entire schtick.
I mean no unkindness to you or Mr. Gergar, but its all feel good stuff that is
ultimately of little value from most channels. There are times when someone
will "bring through" something of clearly substantive value, but most of the
time the person receiving the channeling will be happy with it because of the
energy they feel during the session, which colors their perception of what they
receive.
In some instances, it is the energy itself they seek, and so its all hunky
dory. And there are some who would say that if the energy feels good, what's to
complain about?
My answer is that for the majority of channels, they want an audience, a paying
audience mind you. Nothing wrong with making a living, but the people keep
coming back and paying money to listen to generalized new age (and sometimes
tailored to a specific audience like former TM'ers or other meditation groups)
that is of little real value, but they keep coming back and paying because they
feel energy during the session and like guru followers who feel energy in the
presence of the guru, they think the guru is enlightened, therefore whatever
guru says no matter how bizarre must be real and true.
Those participating in the channelings feel energy and assume in the same
fashion the guy or gal must be channeling legitimately and the blabber is or
will one day be substantive.
Unfortunately many participate because they feel inside they don't know as much
are have as much as someone they think has it together.
Rick, I've been involved in channeling for nearly 30 years. I know what I am
talking about. I went to this guy's web site and listened to a few of his
channelings. He's no different than any of the rest. He is offering a lot of
New Age blabber. And he isn't the only one who claims to just be channeling the
higher self, he is just marketing a bit better than some.

Actually, if you had listened to the interview, he doesn’t claim to be
channeling an individual entity, unlike a few others I’ve interviewed (see
https://batgap.com/past-interviews/categorical-index-guests/). He just settles
into universal consciousness and then speaks from that state. In TM-speak,
ritam bhara pragya.

Pump - 06/23/2015 Yeah, I agree. Rick's scraping the bottom of the barrel.
I shudda been a channeler -- perfect job for a bullshit artist with a penchant
for flowery writing -- I could do this with my toes on an old Royal typewriter.
Of course, lying to people's faces directly...this is the hard part. "I'm now
Ramtha!" -- how do you keep a straight face?
I mean, really. .......shit.
On the other hand, my jury's still out about astral existence...could be the
human nervous system is so good a foolery because it is exquisitely able to
conjure up any concoction and run with it. Who didn't play cowboys and indians
and feel like they were nailing the role, eh?
Or, if after life existence does exist, then yeah, maybe a human nervous system
of almost perfect quiescence could pick up on the mental broadcasts of some
giant brain out there....... but gawd this is making me puke to even type it
out.
In today's modernity with 50,000 industrial chemicals in the environment, with
hatred saturating the headlines, with every religion having a very black stain
of certainty, who in the fuck are we kidding that anyone could get as subtle as
channeling would actually require? Our nervous systems ARE JANGLING CONSTANTLY.
And it's Kali Yuga baby -- GOD WANTS TO SEE HOW IT ALL GOES BOOM.
I never read any channeled report that gave anyone any inside information that
couldn't have been simply made up out of whole cloth. SCIENCE, people,
SCIENCE....channeling is so easily tested for validity. #yiv8732175935
