Also, how do I get past my hang up about channeling ?[/QUOTE]
Hi Don, an idea I've been toying with might help you here.
Consider that the source of Esther's information is of no importance, the information itself is where we need to focus. If the ideas they present intrigue you, give them a chance.
I had this pointed out to me recently. I'm interested in occult/spiritual work and read a lot of books but have trouble settling on one teacher/teaching or another. I'd read something get all inspired and then do some research on the author and find they have some "unsavoury" characteristics for a spiritual teacher, so I'd ditch the book and move on.
Problem is none ever turn out to be perfect. So a wise friend of mine pointed out that no matter how "human" the teachers turn out to be their message may be a true insight into reality. Fools and philosophers aren't that far apart.
If we put the ideas through the crucible of trial, give them a go, and they work then fantastic!
If not move on.
I still haven't settled on a specific path, but then I found Steve's blog. He's a great example of trying ideas despite the source, love ya work mate!
Good luck with the exploration
Trust the message not the medium (no pun intended)
