Here is my Rant
![]() When ever there comes along some valuable channeled or intuitive information there is all ways the risk that it may become distorted by the individuals who choose to believe it or follow it. All through out history teachings from various different higher sources have started out as helpful good information for the greater good of humanity. As the numbers of people that follow the information grows there is almost always the risk that they will become exclusive and fanatical resulting in the formation of a new religion. I just recently experienced some of the first signs of this in regards to the Law of One material that was channeled over 20 years ago. That information is very good and has some neat ideas about how the consciousness of the Universe may be structured. Just like any channeled information I take it with a grain of salt because the medium is always a person. People are always subject to error when channeling because this information must be filtered through the conscious and subconscious minds of the medium before it comes out of their mouth. The experience that I had was on another forum that was created as part of a the web site of David Wilcock. I am not upset that the forum post that I tried to make was rejected. However, the reasons given for the rejection of the post sounded very much like the opinions of those preaching a new religious dogma. I attempted to make a post in a thread that had been created by another member of those forums about David's recently released and updated older readings and channelings. There was some stuff that Ra had said through David about there being 3 waves of ascension. Just like most channeled information, it is very symbolic and enigmatic. Therefore it is all open to interpretation. So I stated my opinion of what Ra was referring to with this three waves of ascension deal. I did not try to say that it was my own divined or intuitive info which is against their forum rules. Instead I clearly states that I was just brainstorming as to what this three waves of ascension might mean. They kicked the post back to me. The reasons given where, it is not in line with David's teachings and the law of one, It will confuse the forum members because it is not part DW's teachings nor is it directly from the law of one. I protested that this was censorship of a simple idea. The response back was that if I could not go back into David's Readings, David's Blogs, or the original Law of One material and prove that my idea was in alignment with them directly that it would not be allowed on the devinecosmos.com forums. I rejected the request that I must justify my ideas in order to post them on their forums and asked to be permanently removed from the forum membership over there. I informed them that their moderation policies where creating a perception of exclusiveness and religious dogma surrounding the Law of One material. Rant over, sorry for wasting you time ![]() |

It's hardly wasting out time tone3. I'd heard his forum was strictly moderated insofar as "negativity" was not tolerated in any form, but I had no idea that included anything not directly from DW's "teachings."
That strikes me as very doctrine-based, a kind of "his interpretation is the only interpretation" position. Hmmmmmm. |

Thats what is so good about this forum tone, people can express themselves freely. Without freedom of thought, there is no freedom. This is the only forum I have ever been on so I cannot judge others, but this one suits me fine.
Cheers Carmen Ps Rantings good!!! |

Any dogma is dangerous and eventually useless. That's just what I've come to accept. If the forum doesn't want you to express yourself, I suppose there's nothing left to do but leave them to self-combust.

Hi Tone, I to have thought a lot on the subject you bring up in your post.
Let me try and create and analogy of this problem. Lets say there is a text uncovered tomorrow that is said to be the true teachings of some great prophet. The scrolls were well kept in some chest at the bottom of the sea and verified by the official organs of religion and media. Many people now read this text and are taken away by it, huge congregations of worshipers gather and start to preach these wonderful words. All are in jubilation and can't believe at how these words touch each and everyone of them in a special way. But then, a few months later it is discovered that these words are not the words of the one whom they were all told, in fact they may have even been written by some no name on welfare. Foul! Everyone cries, Foul! How dare that man trick us. And they all give up on the texts that only a day ago they so cherished... Why? Because they are not looking for the truth inside them. They are wanting to learn the truth from outside sources. Sources that they never questioned in their lives. The truth does not come from the source of texts but from the effect the words and symbols contained therein produce. And so the truth does not come from a persons mouth, but from the words that that the person is speaking. Because the truth comes from within, not without. So to all those people on that forum that you mentioned Tone... I find it funny how they will not believe something, or in this case even be willing to discuss the matter, until it has been verified by a source rather then the words they contain and rather then their own thoughts... For some reason I'm reminded of a passage I recently read in the essenes gospels" There is none yet among you that can understand all this of which I speak. He who expounds to you the scriptures speaks to you in a dead tongue of dead men, through his diseased and mortal body. Last edited by Phtha; 04-06-2009 at 08:18 PM. |

It would be interesting to know if this moderator behavior is endorsed by DW.
A response to your approach would be more valuable than a ban. In general a discussion should be about ideas, input, opinions, angles, a search for truth etc. and not about personalities. |

If it resonates strongly with you, go with it. Sun toon: "I think it's at least as wise to take channeled information with a grain of salt because of the source..." I understand your perspective and common sense approach, in general that is a wise position. Personally I have found far more 'truth' and extremely valuable spiritual concepts and ideas in channeled material (specifically some great ones have been; Ramtha, RA, Reunion With Source/Becoming Gods II - James Gilliland, Path of Empowerment - Barbara Marciniak) then in ALL OTHER LITERARY MATERIAL Ive ever read combined.. Ramtha alone will knock your socks off and blast you into next week if you put your ego and circle of experiences aside and really grasp what is being said. Many other channeled works Ive read have been not-so-brilliant and more ambiguous but still of value, but my point is (for me) when its good, nothing else even comes close. |

Im not here to start a Ramtha cult though, just giving feedback and some recommendations ![]() Getting back to the thread though.. David Wilcock's higher source does have many pearls of wisdom and proven prophetic acuracy (though in a vague nostradamic makes-sense-after-its-happened way). I REALLY enjoyed the excerpts in the Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce book. What is the point of their forum though if you can't offer interpretation of the messages and have a discussion about the material? |

I feel you, Tone.
The beauty about this trip is that nothing is permanent. There is no ultimate truth. There is no arrival. No completion. The be-all-end-all position on any one particular source paints us into the same box of limitation that organized religion does. Everybody's two cents worth is a transient truth that we need to let go of while in pursuit of our own, greater truth. Every great thing is inside. I applaud you for honoring your truth and recognizing how important your own intuitive guidings are. Phtha, very nice reply, btw. love and light, y'all |

I just got the response back from the mods over at devinecosmos. They say that my conclusions are all self centered because they wont let me promote my own work on their forums. The told me to go back and read all of the forum rules which read like a legal document. I told them no thanks, just remove me from the membership.

David Wilcock could very well, easily turn what hes got goiing on into a cult. Or, he could be a well to do lad just looking to help other people, but that doesnt mean he hasnt made a crucial mistake. And that mistake is openly basing most of his study on the law of one, and his own synopsis of it. He could also believe in this so passionatly that he doesnt account for other peoples waryness when their approached with something like this. Discernments fairly popular these days especially with the audience he's got.
But the fact of the matter is this. Its not wise to put all your money on the one horse. Explore all the myths and mysteries and the truth will find you. And im pretty sure this is why david is so passionate, because he's frustrated and wants everyone to hurry their assses up and start going with the flow of consciousness evolution instead of fighting it and wearing ourselves out in the process. Cult leader.. i dont think so. Frustrated young man that wants the world to wake the f k up, that makes more sense. |

Maybe he's been somewhat hijacked by volunteers who worship his every word, but I suspect he's quite aware of what's going on. It goes along with the rest of his lack of humility, which I think adds nothing but raised eyebrows to his message. From my own PoV, if I thought I was Edgar Cayce or Ra, I wouldn't have the nerve to publicly paint myself with that brush, but he apparently feels that it works for him. Whatever...it's his trip. That being said, I still like listening to him, and I do agree that his research...or more exactly the research that he's studying and passing along, has value. He also has great connections to other researchers, and only good can come out of a meeting of minds at that level. Quote:

Because of the path that I chose before I came into this incarnation, it is nessesary for me to personally learn as much as possible about the energetic structure of the universe and do my best to try to relay that information to people. My current paradigm which is always evolving and expanding is that there are 8 levels of reality in this universe. From our perspective in this reality it is impossible to see what they are really all about. Our versions and descriptions of these places will always be limited to the rational thought processes we are mostly held to because of the construct of our reality. For the average person who is just simply trying to find a place of happiness and security in life the information does not have much value. However, for an individual like myself that wishes to communicate with higher forms of consciousness in order to bring new helpful information into this world it is imperative that I understand how to make sure my info is not being tainted by negative consciousness. Part of this understanding comes in the form of being able to determine what level of ascension and polarity the entity(s) I am working with are. If I do not do this I could end up being one of these intuitives that suddenly goes off of the deep end talking about how nuclear and biological genocide are right around the corner. That is what happens if you do intuitive work and you assume that you wont be taken advantage of. It is not for everyone. |

His forum is HIS.. w/his rules...
you just were reminded of that. But I've behaved as you have, I was afronted and was hurt that I was misunderstood...you know that feeling of wanting to make right was is perceived as wrongly misunderstood? I used to partake in a forum yrs ago, called from Sex to Superconsciousness, Achary S forum... the rules were explicity stated "NO we do not believe that Jesus ever existed as it is depicted and practiced in the world's religions"... etc... well, you can imagine the moderators job there!!! lolol.... (please no comment from others about her or that former site [which has changed its name]) < it's just an example. and I LOVE rants, really do and it's good to do so... glad you felt like ripping it here!!!!!!! I relate! Great Thread TITLE... if others would just remember that's the title)...it's not like we need more input right??? good evening! (today 4-8-09 I edited a mistake I made above, about the premise of that former forum, changed from 'god' to 'jesus')... sorry 'bout that. Last edited by EpiphaMe; 04-08-2009 at 01:42 PM. |

I find it reassuring that many of you do mention the arrogance and the 'almost cult' feel about this. I have had the same notions and am staying well clear of David Wilcock for those reasons.
To me this is lessons how NOT to be a 'leader'.... or rather another pointer toward giving up completely on leading at all. Jack, well noted on the frustration, I think that is in fact the real reason for his behaviour. |

Come back when youve actually studied some of the teachings. "I see alot of arrogance and judgmental behaviour coming from Ramtha" -that sounds more like what we are seeing from YOU lately. Ramtha invented the word channeling. Dowse that. Quote:
Even Tone3Zeus recognises the good research and work Mr Wilcock is doing on behalf of us all. Im disappointed guys.. but not surprised. This thread is giving me the creeps, im going to sit in the sunshine for a while. I wish you all the best in your research. We may have our petty disputes over ideology but important to remember "we are all one". This is a game - throw me a curve ball, I'll knock it out of the park. |

Maybe you meant tying mainstream science into consciousness? I'd reluctantly give him the credit of cutting edge in this case. Myself, I have yet to hear anything from him that is not found elsewhere. |

"Everyone is entitled to an opinion" - they most certainly ARE NOT entitled to pass judgment about something or someone they know NOTHING about. That is just rude and offensive. You have the 'free will' to say such a silly remark but it will be at the sacrifice of your own credibility and others respect towards you. Quote:
No I am not a cheerleader for DW's fanclub, but give the guy some credit. Yes there are MANY others doing a similar thing, I think they are all doing the best they can.

WE ARE ALL IN THIS -- together
and, we need to cross promote each others work biggest trouble is, there isn't a lot of that going on !!! everyone is a avatar/avator in their own right everyone has the onboard equipment - to do, to be, and, yet, few realise, this time of the lone wolf, it truly is over !!! there are solutions-you just need to mine for them ironically, they are all inside of you !!! and, can be made to expand only YOU, can save yourself from YOU oft times, we can be our own worst enenmy perhaps, it is time, to all be, the best eXpressions, we can be !!! |

It's not just me. I've liberally shared his interviews, I have them up on my website, I send them to friends, and a significant percentage of the reactions are "what's up with him and the ego thing". Then I argue in defense of David and say that it must be because he's kind of young and in the spotlight, so he isn't able to see clearly how he comes off. If he works for you and it's so wonderful that you can no fault there, all I can say is go for it. But...this has been an objective discussion. You love him, some don't like him, others are having trouble separating his personality from his message. It's a positive exchange. If you find it creepy because it threatens your religious fervor...well sorry. Instead of taking offense, you could make an effort to understand why some of us see DW differently than you do, then take a look through that alternative facet of reality. Maybe, if you saw what we do, you could provide some better understanding for us and a positive and supportive PoV that takes other observations into account, yet balances the equation. This is why it's a forum and not a bulletin board (though I think some people wish it was the other way around). We're drowning in mystery here and it's become life threatening both to ourselves and to the whole planet. We have to be able to express and exchange all points of view if we're going to sort it out.

Czymra Sun-Toon.. Im going to take a chill-pill. There's some Orion influence going on and intense energy at the moment. I know I can be a bit dramatic and intense. Its not my job to be the defender of the universe (or is it?) If you want to look for the worst in great wise loving entitees such as David Wilcock/Edgar Cayce Ramtha the enlightened one Or anyone else I respect and look up to, I guess theres nothing I can do so I'll stop giving you a hard time. Re: What the bleep & Ramtha.. yeah that was the first time I saw JZ Knight/Ramtha too, only a few years ago. Honestly I wasn't impressed either and was sceptical. It wasn't until James Gilliland said he contacted Ramtha during a meditation (to see if he was real) and asked him 3 questions.. When he saw JZ Knight channel Ramtha in front of a large audience shortly after that Ramtha came out looked him in the eye and answered his 3 questions. I thought there might be something to this.. intuitively ordered 'The White Book' from amazon and was blown away it was dynamite. It was probably the best book ive ever read.. and I read alot. A couple of years later and Im still listening to this seemingly neverending stream of profound wisdom (different audio presentations) that resonates very strongly. It is not dogmatic though.. nothing like a sect/cult, its the antithesis of religion. Its called a 'School' .. of enlightenment. Advanced students have actually teleported, and manifested tangible objects.. there are powers you can develop. Life is much more amazing than we have been told. We are all Gods. I don't like all the control dramas either and bad energy.. I know I have been defensive and added to it myself lately, not cool. Pressing the reset button.

I have seen the movie based off of Ramtha's teachings multiple times. Most people do not realize that "What the Bleep" was all about Ramtha channeled info. JZ Night was channeling Ramtha in one of the scenes in that movie. She looked almost as if she was possessed and she was going off about how arrogant man kind was and how dare we such and such. That is judgmental arrogant behavior from Ramtha as far as I am concerned. If I see behavior like that from a spirit of any kind it throws up red flags that I personally should steer away from it. When you see an individual channel a fully ascended being there is none of this rediculous emotion charged behind the voice. It is calm and clear and all inclusive. I personally choose not to allow any entity to speak through me even though I have that ability. This is a result of having accidentally channeled a negative ET 12 years ago before I even had a clue about anything spiritual. As far as me having judgemental behavior, that is not comming from me in this thread. There are others in this thread who have turned it into a judge and bash David Wilcock festival which I did not want to turn it into. I respect David and all of his efforts and do not believe for one second that he in any way wishes to become a cult leader. That is not what this is about. This was about the hard core attitudes of the mods of that forum that have been getting more and more distorted the more famous David becomes. Instead of just simply enforcing the rules that David made for the forum which would be completely understandable and ethical, they are acting as if they are the protectors of David Wilcock's personal paradigm. When I first joined the forum over there about 1.5 years ago this was not the case. If you tried to post something against the rules they would just kick it back and say "that is against the rules". That is not simply what happened here. The moderator over there that first kicked this post back to me wrote this in the pm. This is a cut and paste from it Quote:
This was the first time that I had ever tried to propose the idea of a universe wide dimension shift to the readers of that forum. Even so, he had this to say as part of the original pm as well. Quote:
He ended the original PM about the post kick back with this comment. Quote:
