Red Flags of Mis or Dis-information (Page 1 of 6)

Yay!  My first chance to make a post!

Great question, and, hoping I don't step on the toes of any of their fans, but naming entities such as Hatonn, St. Germain, Sananda, etc. is a big red flag to me.

I have also seen some info mention aliens or angels turning the negative humans into positive ones...that seems to me like a huge free will violation that simply could not or would not be done.

Okay, so we are just talking about red-flags here, signs that suggest a good possibility - but not  absolute confirmation - that something might be misinformation or disinformation, right? Alrighty, then here are several I noticed saturating the majority of channeled literature:

* whole lot of words that say a whole lot of nothing: "the answer to that which you have questioned depends on that which is part of the most important concepts you must find if you are questing for expanded belief in a new reality. Therefore we say to you that your interest is most welcome in our realms and most things we say cannot be well expressed in your words, therefore the answers we give are not always the answers you seek."

* pages of convoluted trivia that has no present application or relevance. "Ten million years ago the Aquatarian Alliance converged on your planet to establish the Ishtar portal gate at the center of your planet. This required a complicated process of aligning seven dilithium crystals through a quantum interface into the sub-akashic levels of the Logos, thereby initiating a vibratory cascade that generated the holographic grid connecting their mass consciousness with the extra-solar Logos of the Vegan star systems, the consequences of which initiated thirty-three epochs of evolution, each of which I will tell you about now..."

* heavy use of mystical sounding names: "Lord Gabriel Reptilianus and his Majestic Queen of the Seven Crystal Cities are in search of the Blessed Be Oracle Tablets..."

* extra detail given to recounting events that are impossible to prove or deny: "Last week a terrible battle ensued in which half the earth was blown away. At the verge of defeat the Forces of Light were granted rescue by the Great Overseers who not only drove Darkness back into the Abyss, but rewound time and prevented earth from ever suffering harm. Thanks to the Great Overseers, we are all alive today. Isn't that amazing?"

Interesting thread.  Here are my "Top 20" indications of channeled disinformation.

1.  Predictions of events, especially with regard to specific dates.

2.  Recommendations focused on action rather than on beingness or intent.

3.  Logical inconsistencies that lead to backpedaling when pressed with further inquiry.

4.  The words "always", "never", "should", and "try".

5.  Indications that the channeled entity has some special powers or abilities not accessible to the questioner.

6.  Offers of unsolicited information or advice.

7.  Answering a question with another question.

8.  Speaking with a sense of urgency or that limited time is available for the session.

9.  Any indication whatsoever that the questioner is somehow chosen, special, or privileged.

10.  Requests not to share the information given with others.

11.  Prophecies of doom and gloom; issuance of warnings and admonitions.

12.  Vague and generalized respones to specific questions.

13.  Interrupting the questioner with an answer before the question is fully stated.

14.  Unwillingness to admit that there are negatively oriented entities or those with malicious intent.

15.  References to higher spiritual authorities.

16.  Speaking on behalf of somebody else.

17.  Reprimanding or chastisement.

18.  Expression of a desire for the questioner to perform some specific action.

19.  Stating that an abrogation or limitation of free will is sometimes necessary for the greater good. 

20.  Expressions of impatience or frustration.

Yes.  For clarity's sake let me say: the original intent of my post was to look at signs of possible mis/disinformation.

Well, I'll say this: I find it suspect when sources of information do not acknowledge that there are different levels of truth.  And that the conditions of evolution are different for beings of different levels.

Here's my complement list of such command words:

*ought
*have to
*needs to
*must

And absolute statements like:

*we all...
*you are... (stating a person is this or that instead of acknowledging that it is your perception that they seem this or that)

Also: special vocabulary, as in Scientology.  The constant use of special terms that only initiated members understand.

My intent was to give examples of words that may be indicators of disinformation, not that use of these words always indicate disinformation.  In that case I'd be breaking my own rule!

I think you make an important point to remember to take things in context, and your comment also opens the door to a wider issue.

With regard to channeled information, one of the common complaints is that there is so much garbage out there these days.  Many people have suggested that all the attention placed on channeled info has attracted a greater number of unsavory entities.  I do not disagree.  However, an often overlooked point is that, as more and more people seek out channels, the quality of the questions has also deteriorated considerably. 

If you read any quality channeled work, there is a certain degree of precision and clarity with regards to the questions being asked and the subject matter which is discussed.  Usually these focus on cosmology, the nature of reality in general, and questions focused on the nature of the channeled entity and the realm from which it hails.

In current times (and I have seen a lot of this) people tend to ask questions that only pertain to themselves and their own personal lives.  I think this tends to attract a lower level of consciousness to the channel because the higher vibration entities recognize that they have nothing useful to offer in that regard.

You mentioned:

Questions formulated as "Where should I live?"  "Am I on the right path?"  "Is so-and-so right for me?" belie a true understanding of the level of consciousness that good channeled information comes from, because at high levels those questions are rather meaningless.  So the irony of accessing channeled entities is that the better equipped one is to extract useful information, the less necessary the channel becomes. 

Let's use an example.  I am considering moving to Colorado and am at a channeling session hoping to get more information about the move.

Inquiry:  "Should I move to Colorado?"

Answer:  "We see many possibilities available to you now, and moving to Colorado is one of them.  There are many opportunities that will be available depending on what it is you wish to experience."

I could interpret this as avoidance of the question and leave frustrated, but the truth is that I framed my question within a context of "should" which is, in a higher sense, meaningless.  The entity has no preference where I live.  I need to be more specific in my questioning.

Inquiry:  "I would like to live somewhere with a low probability of experiencing the effects of severe earth changes.  Tell me about the current geophysical conditions of the area known as Colorado, specifically the southwest."

Answer:  "We see that, in the immediate future, this area possesses a great deal of stability with respect to possible effects of earth changes."

Now I've got something that I can chew on.  Does that make more sense?

heandras, your definition of disinformation works well for me:

Misinformation differs only slightly in that the person lying may not be aware that they are lying.

As far as the list of words I posted ("ought, have to, must," etc.)...

You're correct, those words by themselves don't indicate disinfo, but using word-forms like that means that the speaker doesn't fully appreciate the choice and freewill of the person they're speaking to.

My understanding of a positive, truthful being is that such a being is non-coercive (they don't command you). 

So such words like "should" are red flags to me, but they don't necessarily mean that the being has a malicious intent.   

Obligation is the mode, I think, of negativity; honoring choice is the mode of positivity.
