Then you will have noticed, Anagogy, if you've read through Dolores Cannon's works, that she herself is pretty gullible, credulous and naive when tackling the information retrieved from her subjects. Perhaps more importantly, however, as is the case with most channeling nowadays, the "regressed" subjects are not hypnotized into what we may properly call a deep state of trance (as was Carla Rueckert's case). Because of this, one is dealing with the discarnate, albeit still 3rd-density personality complex, with all of its corresponding intellectual/emotional biases and limitations (as well as associated religious predispositions).
You will also notice that after "interviewing" this discarnate portion of the mind complex, Dolores sometimes will proceed to ask to speak with the "higher self" portion of the entity in question, which then is capable of providing a more objective, more enlightened and more accurate perspective on the matter. This is far more acceptable/valuable in terms of accuracy of information.
The point being: when dealing with most hypnotically "regressed" subjects, one is still dealing with 3rd-density understandings/limitations and associated personal biases. This is made evident by the tone and flavour of the message, the choice of words used in the structuring of the syntax, etc.
To use your quoted example:
Quote:If you would like to envision an inverted pyramid, God would be at the top or the longest edge, and humanity would be at the bottom or at the point.
This is a good example of subject's cognitive limitations of awareness. Humanity is clearly not at the "bottom" of the pyramid. We know there are grades of awareness "prior" to the human(oid) state. These are 2nd and 1st density animal/plant and elemental life, respectively.
Furthermore:
Quote:Many have already joined God and need never return to lower planes again.
Why are the "lower planes" always so stigmatized? Why is it that many "spiritually-inclined" people (especially of the New Age variety) shun the body and the incarnative experience as something that must be transcended and left behind, like a fetter or, as the title of this thread indicates, a prison? What does this escapism reveal about the entity in question?
In short: to ask for advice or information from discarnate 3rd-density entities is not much different than asking the same from embodied 3rd-density entities.
PS: I very much appreciate Dolores Cannon's well-meaning intentions. Same goes for Jane Roberts, Barbara Marciniak, David Wilcock, David Icke, Greg Bradden, Bruce Lipton, Nassim Haramein, Darryl Anka, Linda M. Howe, John E. Mack and Kerry Cassidy, just to mentioned some assorted names. I truly do. However, just because one is genuinely well-intended and "good-hearted" doesn't mean they are free from fallacy and the endorsement/promotion of misinformation.
