How to Evaluate and Use Channeled Information

In our world today there are many channeling sources; and most have very interesting information about life, nature of reality (including the spiritual realm), etc. The question we all have is this true? Henry Reed in Edgar Cayce on Channeling Your Higher Self (1) summarizes an interview by Entertainment Tonight host Mary Hart with Daryl Anka, who claims to channel an alien named Beshar. Anka explained that channeling is actually a normal process that we all engage in. He defined channeling as any type of creative expression. During the program Beshar was brought “forward”, and Mary asked, “How do we know you’re what you say you are”? Beshar’s response was: “You do not, and that is not the purpose at this time. The idea is not for us to prove we are who we say we are. We would prefer, in actual fact, that you not care who we are in that sense….that you focus on the idea of information itself. If the information serves you, use it. If it doesn’t; do not”.

The other test that I will be describing later is to test it for consistency with other sources of spiritual information. This can include information from other spiritual channels, hypnotic regression information, and others.
