Hi Dreamingpeace,
As to the "born again" thing, I experienced it rather dramatically - so dramatically in fact that I am a practicing pastor to this day. But I tie it squarely to the Potentiator of the Spirit archetype and try desperately to avoid the associated doctrinality that comes with it. The key of the Potentiator of the Spirit archetype is the invitation for surrender that in my most humble opinion is the key to penetrating the veil, touching intelligent infinity, and being harvested, because it facilitates an abdication of the ego which orients to duality, and this allows one to live and experience life in a constant state of faith. Duality is the illusion that I believe Quo refers to, and it is what Jesus referred to as "the world". If one reads what he said, it is exactly the same as what Ra said, only in ancient metaphor and terminology. Living in a state of surrender is channeling the higher self, and life then becomes under the guidance of what has been called by many names - inner voice, higher self, guidance system, holy spirit, Self, Jesus, etc. When channeling other entities, we are warned to "test the spirits" which is the same as a challenge. I do not like to place any credence in unchallenged channeling. I have never channeled other entities that I'm aware of. I do not even know how one goes about doing it or what the process is. I've never witnessed it in person, though I've read thousands of pages of channeled material. There is not much of it that rings true except for Law of One, A Course in Miracles, and maybe a few more. A Course in Miracles claims to be channeled from Jesus. Ra said Jesus would not return physically but as a member of the Confederation speaking through a channel, and I believe ACIM is it. As to speaking in tongues, I believe it is channeling of some kind, but I'm not sure what. The early apostles described it as channeling the Holy Spirit, which I believe is the higher self. But it's a mystery why the higher self would communicate in this way. I do believe it's a real phenomenon though, but I myself have never experienced that either. I believe it activates the violet ray, I think it is. Maybe it's the indigo ray. I seem to always fail to have LOO material for reference when posting. Sorry for the extensive rambling, but these things came to mind when I read the thread, and I hope I've helped rather than bored you into a comatose state.
Farewell from SOS
