I would be very wary about inviting any entity into one's consciousness, no matter how nice and flattering they appeared to be. Roberts' illness and dwindling strength may have been a result of the covert, vampiristic aspect of such an entity. I suspect many (if not all) chanelled entities/spirit guides are vampires.
They often appear when a person has a vain image of themselves - thinking they are extra special, or different, in some way and have some sort of psychic ability, and then develop an unhealthy curiosity in such matters (e.g. experimenting with an Ouija board).
This very weakness, or flaw, in their psyche is the precise entry point for the entity, which pretends to offer help and guidance, and then, after being invited in, attaches itself to the person in order to feed off them, gradually sapping their energy and strength.
These entities often give a lot of interesting information, in order to dazzle and beguile. Even if most of it is true, it is the 0.1% untruth which makes the whole thing a lie.
That's my theory, anyway! |
I have seen that theory before. There has been some mysticism associated with ouija boards but they are a registered trademark toy from the 1800s. If I can use that to contact spirits then I can use my Rubiks Cube just as well.
There isn't any information from Seth that could be harmful. It all comes down to 1 sentence - You Create Your Reality. He says it in a way that's more helpful than most LOA material. He doesn't say to heal your body if you're sick, he says follow whatever methods you believe in to produce a healing.
If you believe in medicine then use it.
I think if he was taking energy from Jane in that way he would have told readers he was available for anyone to channel. He specifically said he would not contact others.
Jane was in her 50's when she passed and a lifetime smoker/drinker. It happens.
