As for your original query about "channeling":

Think radio or TV stations. There are different channels with different contents aimed at different audiences.

I can tell you "channeling is real; that is, a human receptor/transmitter is getting info/data/knowledge from a 'higher/otherworldy/extradimensional' source", but that doesn't prove anything at all. And I don't need to convince myself of anything I know; it is you who is seeking to know the, shall we say, "veracity" or "falsity" of these things. And in that, I truly cannot help you help yourself, other than by offering my, what may seem to you, "opinion" or "take on it".

So let's attempt to elucidate on this matter.

You should understand, first and foremost, that just as "humans" have different intentions/motives/agendas AND degrees of awareness/understanding/knowledge, it is essentially the same with these "channeled" entities or sources of information. The only difference being a, let's say, "dimensional distance" between the entities having the conversation (one in "lower" density of consciousness and the other in a "higher" one); but other than that, it's not too different than having a phone conversation or an internet chat between two or more persons/groups/entities.

In a very true sense, if your level of awareness is greater (i.e. it encompasses/partakes more of the truth/light/wisdom), then you are going to have more knowledge than someone whose degree of awareness is lesser. However, this does not mean that the information offered/conveyed must be entirely true nor that it is meant to "enlighten" you (i.e. just as there is information, there exists disinformation as well).

The best way to deceive someone after all, is by sanwitching the truth between lies.

Aside from that, there is this little (big) "problem" that the information being imparted is inevitably going to be, to greater or lesser degree, distorted by the mere fact that it is "translated" into words or verbal context by the channeler/receiver/transmitter. Words and verbal communications are not the, shall we say, "cleaner" means of communication, and a lot of misunderstanding/misinterpration may ensue from this (i.e. choice of words, semantics/pragmatics, etc).

Therefore, your discernment is your own. Trust in yourself more than anything else! No need to believe blindly! Question, ask, ponder! Follow whatever feels "right" to you. Yes, certainly, utilize/research/rely/ask other sources of information. Gather and corroborate data. But remember, it's not about quantity, it's not about amassing loads of data or reading thousands of books, it's about quality. You are seeking quality.
Try not to get caught in the verbosity, words or terminology of the "channeled" material; instead try to "read between the lines" so as to grasp the essence, the core, the heart of the message. And take what resonates WITH you.
And also remember, one may understand the theory, but have no practice/experience of it. So seek your own "personal" experience. Search your own truth.

And if your truth sounds like my truth, then perhaps... OUR truth is the same truth.

Enjoy your journey!
