Thank you for this new perspective Open.

I used the term channeling loosely and I will have to let the concept of attuning as opposed to channeling land. I assume you mean that

attuning is feeling a being's vibrations cascading through the ethers. Whereas channeling is embodying the energy directly? When I look

at those definitions, I only feel the difference is a matter of degree.

I wonder whether you consider the safeguards taught in the field of psychism to be adequate for channeling? There is cleansing, raising vibration

and being very specific about who you call on. Then there is the challenge, using specific questions to reveal the integrity of the being. I'm not

saying I don't accept your observations and caution because I do. I am just very curious about the efficacy of the preparations and safeguards for

channeling work.

Ultimately, when we invite higher groups to a meditation, is this not an invitation to channel? In many of our past Openhand sessions, conversations with various groups after a period of indentification has proceeded. My feeling is that the members of the group that undertake this work have a higher degree of sensitivity and experience, as have you. To put it bluntly, you know what you're doing.

The reason I'm pressing for clarity is that my impression was that, with the intersection of higher energies proceeding, we will all more than likely be channeling various groups and individuals as the field opens up. I, for one, am very excited about this. If this did happen inadvertently, having the entity prove itself over time would be my approach as you have suggested.

Hope you don't mind me expanding on this, I'm not trying to toss in a holy hand grenade. I'm just fascinated.
