If I had a problem with you focusing on the veracity of the claims I'd be the first to say so. But that's not the case. I actually said it's OK and we need that. What we don't need is the atmosphere of hostility or negative criticism that prevents the acquisition of further information and offends people who simply aren't that well informed and don't necessarily mean any harm. With respect to the question you ask, I don't recall the exact context. Wasn't it something to do with the purpose for the pyramids? Some kind of transporter? Sounds rather Stargate-ish sci-fi to me, though according to my history professor, the spirits of the dead in the pyramids were believed by the Egyptians to be transported into their afterlives, and that is why they took so much stuff in with them. They thought they would literally be transported along with it all into the next realm.
I think any hostility comes out of frustration.Its hard enough being taken seriously without the "woo" factor channelers and their ilk bring.
For me, there is a bigger picture surrounding the issue than the veracity of the claims. How does someone come to believe they are channelling an alien? Can bringing the subject face to face with contradictions and incoherencies in a friendly way help them to better understand the phenomena they are experiencing? I'm reminded of a movie with at least one of my favorite actors.
I don't think so. Maybe. If they are, then she's separating her works. Here are the Amazon links:
I don't have proof that the author really believes they are channelling an alien, nor have I claimed she is. I was saying we don't know, but maybe, with enough information and cooperation that might be determined. It was one of the things I was hoping to eventually triangulate with my line of questioning. But that takes time and patience and the cooperation of the subject, and it involves questions that they themselves don't realize connect the dots. It also helps if they don't feel like they're under attack. Maybe this approach is of no interest to you, but I thought it was worth a try. Lastly, I've answered your question on the pyramid teleporter by saying it sounds like sc-fi. That is plenty definitive unless you believe Stargate is factual history.
If I had to lay bets, I'd lay them on your call. But the thing is, whatever the case may be, by having an open discussion with someone who is making these kinds of claims, information can be obtained that provides an insight into this particular aspect of the field in general. So if it's a hoax, we learn something interesting. If it's a genuine experience of a purely imaginary construct, we learn something interesting. If it's some sort of PSYOP experiment, we learn something interesting. If it's actual telepathic communication with some being, we learn something even more interesting. But we don't learn anything unless we have the opportunity to gather info, and the more the better. I was just trying to do my part.
