Such channeling I have always viewed as being the way it is because in the western societal thought paradigm there was no recognition of "inner wisdom", or the capacity to retrieve information from the unconscious.
What is significant is not the "newness" of the information, but the newness of the sources and a show that this information is contained within anyone. We do not "need" channels, but neither are they useless.
If I am thinking correctly, then really, all the ancient wisdom we have seen was likely "channeled" by the individuals who made connections in those fields and vistas of consciousness.
That being said, I think the whole idea of the channeling phenomenon first appeared to create a mainstream, accessible image of the Higher Self, and to embed a concept in western society of the levels of consciousness.
To me, the reiteration of the same information through many "channels" is an amazing example of the way that information or knowledge is actually transcendental, it goes beyond the temporal form. Thus, the channeling phenomenon has become a new exploration in to the realities of metaphysics, and consciousness.
That all being said, so far, I haven't found any reason to discount certain sources as being genuine impressional communications between fields of consciousness, between human forms and perhaps "higher beings".
Also, I don't think there needs to be "competitive" thought in terms of "higher beings" and "wanderers". I don't think the LOO suggests that every major human advancement came with these, nor that humans are helpless on their own, but rather that there is a dynamic which exists between different types and levels of consciousness and they are all involved with eachother.
So I guess rather than saying that "these things are because of this", we can say that these are parallel arising phenomenon, there is no better or worse, simply that in terms of evolution and development these are the mechanisms by which consciousness informs itself. Everyone is connected to higher beings, and many wanderers make no significant societal impact.
