Regression session

*phew* it feels good for the moment to have solved this riddle, although I might be wrong in this...

Hi Ankh,

Another possibility, which I would like to inject here, being somewhat familiar with Dolores Cannon's work is that the entity you were channeling was simply your subconscious self, which has been described in Cannon's work as being completely unemotional and objective, but yet is still an essential part of your makeup. It appears in much of Cannon's work that contact with the Higher Self, while it appears to often happen in her sessions (and I presume her students sessions) does not always occur. From my study of her work, she generally calls the self that is dredged up or channeled in her sessions "the subconscious", which, in many circumstances she regards as being the same thing as the Higher Self, but I think in many cases, it simply doesn't progress quite that far (judging by the various transcripts of sessions I have read).

In her sessions, she appears mostly concerned with contacting the part, any part, of the mind that has the answers we are seeking, and the subconscious has many of these answers, it being the part of our minds we put what we are not consciously privy to. So, in a sense, this subconscious is very much a kind of "shadow self", though, not to confuse it with evil. As you said, it was not trying to deceive you in any way, it was just cold and objective.

This is just speculation, but I feel it is important to understand that there are, in fact, distinctions between the subconscious level of consciousness and the higher self level of consciousness.
