Comparing Ra and the Cassiopaeans

[Azarnac]

And I think when F. left, the result was basically that it all became molded to fit LKJ's personal agenda, as the lower-level winner of a power struggle below the level of the channeled source. The years with F. have Cassiopaeans that more often disagree with LKJ, and that's also the early times with the most interesting little metaphysical ideas in sessions IMO.

This is likely what happened, judging by what has changed and happened since then.
Those who have read the transcripts(in fact, this is how I came across the C's in the first place; some torrent archive contained the pdf that had all sessions from the beginning up until the 2000s) will notice the stark difference between the early and later sessions. There are genuine nuggets in the early sessions, and whatever it was they were talking to, it often disagreed with LKJ and told her to go beyond her anthropomorphic and Christian views. This radically changed in the 2000s and has remained the same since then.
Especially since 2018 or so, there is almost no pretension anymore that the "C's" have become the mouthpiece for whatever LKJ needs for her organization(C's asking people to donate more money to LKJ etc.).
In the latest session from a week ago or so many people from the FOTCM were invited to attend the session and the Cs were asked what the greatest weakness of the forum community/FOTCM is. They answered that they lacked true co-linearity.
I think it likely that this will be interpreted along esoteric lines(think Mouravieff and the exo-, meso-, and esoteric groups and the theoretical idea that people need to align their understanding) but in practice, it might just be that LKJ wants even stronger groupthink among her followers, a true Nazi "Gleichschaltung", as we Germans say.

Regarding the Oujia Board, I had, for some time, believed it to be a toy invented in the 20th century. It turns out that some similar looking devices had been in use for centuries before our time. Interestingly, Daoists in China, specifically the Quanzhen movement, used it as part of their practice up until the Qing Dynasty(the last one that ended in 1911) banned their use.
Why it was banned I have been unable to ascertain so far.
It might be that LKJs use of the Oujia board stems from Christian prejudice towards "demonic" possession and a need for intellectual control. Intuitively speaking, it seems to me that trance possession yields to a more "direct line" than board use. In line with their condescending attitude towards Eastern religions that favor the non-intellectual, the Chateau group seems to like what doesn't change their tight intellectual grip and doesn't veer into other states of consciousness.
