Well, I think all of you got part of what I was saying, so let me clarify a bit.
John Chang and Donald J Hunt- Yes, I was using Q'uo material as a cross reference for what the Cassiopaeans said. I was seeing what was the same and what was different, in hopes that I could THEN compare both of them to my reality. I've developed my opinion of the source, but my opinion is of course subjective, and so my reasoning was to bring more members in on the topic so that we could discuss our opinions, compare them, and illuminate the typical dis/misinformation tactics. Why? Because I've seen members come here and post a questionable piece of material that they weren't sure of and the group usually figures out what is what within a week.
EsoQuest- You mediated the topic, and I agree with you. I think what Ark said is correct ultimately, but I think doing an immediate comparison is skipping some steps. I think we need much data and many perspectives before we can really put it all together. Kind of like a final incarnation, you have all of these pieces, and you need to eliminate the extra and misshapen ones in order to put the puzzle together. After you have all of the data, you then make decisions. Some of the data will obviously not fit, and it can easily be eliminated. The rest of it is true to varying degrees, and you then have to cross refrence it with your own knowledge in order to find out what to keep and what not to keep.
Laura, I'll get to you in a minute, your post turned out to be a two hour read, and raised a few questions.
Ark- I'm still in the process of getting the data and knowledge so I can view reality objectively. My choices over the years led me to Cassiopaea, where I had an explosion of knowledge. If you strip away what I have learned from Laura and the Cassiopaeans, my realm of perception is very small, and was, quite egocentric. True, I would've never believed anything the Cassiopaeans said if it didn't coincide with what I had experienced during my life. But after I found out there really was something to the Cassiopaean contact, I took a lot of what the Cassiopaeans said on faith. Such things as the Wave, the 7 densities, the Lizzies, and Wanderers were simply things I cannot prove. Now based on what I can see and feel, I know these things are possible, and are most likely probable, but my perspective is subjective because I'm STS. STO channeled material is not, supposively. So, would it not make sense to gather as much "Objective Data" as possible, perhaps eliminate some of the corruption, and THEN apply it to yourself? With the Cassiopaean material there is always that 30% or so corruption to worry about, and much of it is about things you just can't walk out and prove. And what if that figure is corrupted. So, in my reasoning, I could find out more about hyperdimensional reality by comparing to a much different source, who has had only low-key contact with the original source; ie Laura and the Cassiopaeans, and Carla and the Q'uo. And before I did this, I thought it would be best to ask the group if I might be getting myself into an dangerous situation; which is why I asked their opinion on the Q'uo. I would love to be able to cross-check with objective reality, but I know I will be influenced in my decisions by what I've seen, heard, and read. Can you perceive reality with absolute objectivity? Now I think you and Laura are pretty close, but I think you'd be outta here if you could. So I want to use the data that is availiable, use what I can, and then apply it to myself when I have a good fit and then make changes here and there when I find errors or problems. I've only applied the Q'uo precepts to my life to a small degree, and as I already stated, I believe they are largely in agreeance with the Cassiopaean material, but tend to beat around the bush when it comes to negativity. I'm not someone who reads any channeling that comes across their desk, I wouldn't even believe that channeling was real if the Cassiopaeans hadn't activated so many triggers. I believe the Cassiopaean material is the best because of your semi-scientific approach of "critical analysis," but that doesn't mean that other channeling is garbage. Especially channeling by a channel the Cassiopaens themselves recommended, and whom Laura respects and holds in high regard. Other than Laura, Carla, and Barbara, I have taken no other channels seriously, and probably will not unless what they say fits firmly into what has been stated by the critically analyzed Cassiopaean material. I thought the closeness between the Cassiopaean material and the Q'uo material would make for some interesting reading that I could eventually get truth out of instead of comparing channeling of the Cassiopaeans to that of the Space Brothers, for example. And yes, I spent an extensive amount of time on montalk.net before coming here. I read his material and made a few posts on his forum, and I'm trying to move beyond just simply talking about it, because that is the equivalent of stopping in the middle of the road and getting run over by a semi. And that is why I ask these questions and make these comments, some of which may seem silly to you. It is part of my evolution.
Well Ark, I'm glad you give me these chidings because it shows you are commited to a no BS forum where the posts remain informative and as accurate as possible. If you see any fallacies in my presentation, feel free to comment, because your perspective can only help me develop mine.
