Why are newer channelings important?

[Louisabell]

Now, if you go to llresearch.org and click on channeling and archives, all of the sample sessions offered are of recent vintage.  So, if they're pointing people to recent sessions, then what's so strange about people reading them?  

That was my first go-to thought. There are a few quick links of new sessions on the main page and conscious channeling page. None for those channeled sessions by Carla, for instance. A bit of digging is needed to go into previous years. Actually I have been checking in on the newer channelings because Austin said in an interview something about Jim's channeling/meditation circle opening back up again to the public. I am yet to see it, but I was anticipating reading the energetics of opening the space up to the community, with perhaps the addition of some budding new channelers.

Finally, there's the matter of the quality of the questions, which is discussed in the thread referenced in the OP of this thread.  in short, my view is as follows.  L/L Research began as a small band of seekers (whose members would come and go over time) and it was not then a dedicated administrative enterprise.  This has changed to where publishing is the main concern and--in my opinion only--the seeking is done on the leftover time rather than being the most burning concern.  Whereas in the early sessions where Prof. Don Elkins was a key player--as well as Carla Rueckert--the intensity of the seeking might have been much more upfront than it is today.  Again the intensity of the seeking, along the consequent ardour of the queries, are fundamental to increasing the quality of the contact.

These claims that LLR's profitable publishing activities have now taken centre-stage weighs on a heavy heart, especially being that I find validity in the claim. Indeed it is a niggling truth that I couldn't keep ignoring in the end. The audiobooks that have taken much of LLR's administrative time appear to exist behind a paywall. The webpage linked to on LLR's page spruiks Audible's 30 day trial period where those signing up (with their payment details) get a free credit for one book. I've been notified of this free trial by other content creators more times than I can count... affiliate marketing programs are known to have that effect. When I borrow audiobooks from my public library, I don't have to pay for them. The case for selling hardcopies of books has always been more understandable because of printing costs, but I find digital content existing behind a paywall to be much less palatable.

The 40th anniversary box set of the Law of One is a lovely looking set of books, for sure. The commercial publisher no doubt did market research to ascertain that their investment into this project would pay off, probably on the backs of the likes of Corey Goode and David Wilcock. Goode's sensationalist presentations on Gaia TV which reference the LOO created such a buzz surrounding our sixth density alien friends a few years ago. In any case, the marketing team of the publishing company was right about it paying off, it sold very well. So well that LLR is meeting with this publisher to collaborate on additional potential projects.  And yet it took years after the box set release for significant, alignment changing typos to be caught. Did anyone even read these pretty books?! Well evidently one person did, thankyou to that reader!

LLR have said that the publisher has been "responsibility-taking", which sounds to me that they have a good customer service department. Not sure how LLR have taken any responsibility in this situation though. I'm assuming thousands of copies have sold and are circulating in the public based on the profit takings reported. LLR and the publisher may have halted sales, yet not sure how they will manage sales of these books that are being advertised directly from Amazon.com and other businesses. Looks like it's now out of their hands.

We all make mistakes, no one is saying LLR need to be perfect, but there is significant sentiment that LLR's continuing legitimacy (for many generations to come, as they say) is based on the claim of being humble and devote guardians of the material. Indeed our modern day copyright laws seem to do most of the heavy lifting in this regard, yet are commercially led decisions compromising the rest of the equation? My question is why would LLR choose to reprint an older version of the Law of One for their stylised box set when they had a relistened version that was more complete, accurate and contained additional commentary from Carla and Jim? Was it because a portion of the royalties had to be paid to those outside the administration for the unpaid work done on the relistening project? I wouldn't know for sure, but I know what I would have chosen to do with the understanding I have. 

The truth of the matter is, if LLR was operating in my neck of the woods (Australia) I doubt they would have been able to hold onto their nonprofit status at this point. Receiving tax deductible donations does elevate an organisation in the eyes of the public and the law. Their claim to regular community engagement (mainly being their "community site" Bring4th.org) appears to have been essentially discarded. I have been told that the laws surrounding the classification of non-profit are a lot more relaxed in some states of the USA. Needless to say, I feel like a bit of a fool to have volunteered free labour for what I see turning more and more into a commercial enterprise, sadly.

Not to be totally negative here, a saving grace for LLR is that their new hire, whose name is yet to be revealed, (come on, we're all excited to hear who this new addition is  ),  has started up the prison ministry once again. I was genuinely worried why this service would be let go when newer more exciting projects were popping up at the same time.

I've maybe gone off topic now, apologies. 

By way of an illustrative contrast, if anyone is interested, this is a link to channeling done by a LLR breakaway group wherein the seeking is upfront and the administrative culture is incidental.  I find it poignant.  (You may either read or listen.)

Thanks for the link to this channeling. May you all be well. I leave you now in the love and the fight of the One Infinite Creator (... too soon? )
