I've now started my 2nd yea in university studying Philosophy and Psychology, and what i have to say has something to do with both.
The more i study philosophy and different philosophers the more i see that different ideas i heard from channels have all been thought about before. Even from the time of ancient Greece many ideas have already existed. Also the ideas about free will, choice and the nature of existence have all been heavily discussed since the 17th century.
Why am i telling you this? because it makes me wonder. First about the authenticity of many channels, and second about why do we even need them?
Is it only because its easier for us humans to take knowledge coming from a "higher being" as true, or maybe also because its easier for us to doubt a fellow human being. Is it all about the idea of higher authority?
Im not making a stand here, just wanted to let my thoughts out
And HERE is the exact connection and process of which I speak.

The very next post I read was yours which speaks directly to what I posted there.
My ability to follow guidance is keen and evolved to a high degree, depending of course on what is used by comparison. And in following such guidance this morning this has resulted.
Next is the effort of discerning the meaning and direction intended. and THAT is where it becomes a personal venture in which only The One and The other can share.

I want to share a thought:Not only that, some of the ancient philosophy is much more sophisticated, "pure", and relevant than what the relatively uncommitted channel's bias is ever capable of providing. What some channels do is provide yet another approach, or explanation for the exact same info. This is a necessary thing here because in order to appreciate something new, a bridge must be constructed from old info to new info. Different explanations provide different bridges.

I am stunned by your understanding Zen. There are few in this world who understand this. Well spoken.
