Well, actually no, it's not all just channeling, and it's not, IMHO, all "equally unreliable". Remember that the Law of One was received through Carla when she was in a trance. Unlike her consciously channeled material, she was not conscious and had absolutely no recollection of what she said when she returned from trance. As such, and is indicated by Ra himself this provided him the opportunity to convey his understanding of TLOO with as few distortions as possible short of his appearing in person (and thus creating an entirely different set of distortions). If you read the descriptions of Carla's Ra channeling as compared to Carla's Q'uo or DW's "Ra" you see several significant differences:
- Trance vs conscious. The unconscious trance state actually required Carla's spirit to vacate her mind/body complex during the sessions. This left Ra with the opportunity to enter her body, just behind the crown of the head and take physical control of her body. Nothing even remotely similar happens in conscious channeling.
- Narrow band vs. wide band. There really hasn't been much said about this, but Ra mentions it numerous times in TLOO, so it is clearly important. Drawing an analogy from RF communications, there is more focused information inherent in narrow band communications, but they also require much more sensitive and finely tuned systems, hence the group of three, the pre-session preparations, the sending of love and light during the sessions, the incense, etc, and the careful procedures for aiding Carla's return after the session.
- Channeler receives a "concept" vs channeled entity directly speaking the message. The other two lead up to this one, which is the biggest point. In consciously channeled messages, the channeler receives a concept thought which they then attempt to express using their conscious mind, which is limited by their world knowledge and vocabulary and distorted by their world view, preferences and prejudices. The material received by Carla in her trances was not dependent upon her a priori knowledge, vocabulary, or awareness at all. (Indeed Carla indicates that Ra's vocabulary exceeded hers and they frequently had to grab the dictionary to look up some of his words and references.)
These differences are significant points in both the LOO material and in my confidence in it. It's interesting to note, that David Wilcock has frequently indicated that TLOO is the only channeled material that he can embrace, except for his own channeled material. One might ask the question why David would ask us to trust third party consciously channeled material when he doesn't?
For me personally, I feel so many distortions when reading any consciously channeled material that I frequently can't find the real intended message at all. Thus, much of David's as well as Carla's other material doesn't resonate with me because there's just too much noise in the message.
That is not to say that I don't read some of the sessions, I just tend to drastically discount them, especially anything that is remotely of a transitory nature.
You are correct in saying that all comes down to what resonates. I would suggest that I have never seen a more pure touchstone of minimized distortions than Carla's trance channeled LOO material. As such, I always look first to TLOO for the purest message, and make every effort to exclude any and all transitory material from all channeled material.
Just my 2 cents.
