Finally, in my experience, what might pass as a negative entity through a channel usually turns out to be the channel's own negative ego posing as something else, rather than an actual entity from somewhere else.
I guess I can say this w/o a hat on.
The business of self-deception is soooo critical to a discussion of a topic like this. I wonder why it didn't come up before. I've met so few people who factor this into their assessment of themselves that it's just a trifle shocking. It's one of the main reasons I can only be light-hearted about ANY ideology: I know that my capacity for self-deception will creep in no matter how smart and capable I think I am. I've just had to learn to allow for slop and error. The more I do that up front, the better I feel later on.
Maybe a sense of ideological veracity comes down to being mainly a matter of the heart. Maybe it's hard for proclaimers of heart-felt veracity to definitively connect with those who are probing these things with different organs of experience...if that makes any sense? If not, it was probably because another one of the damned negative entities promised to make me look intelligent and then left me hanging out to dry.
On another note, another enormously endearing quality of the LOO material is the way it does not claim to have everything all sewn up. Rather, "It begins and ends in mystery." There's a quality of freedom in that which reminds me of the the Robert Herrick poem below. That "brave vibration each way free" line just kills me. Hope it's not too racy for this forum.
WHENAS in silks my Julia goes
Then, then (methinks) how sweetly flows
That liquefaction of her clothes.
Next, when I cast mine eyes and see
That brave vibration each way free;
Oh how that glittering taketh me!
Not sure what sort of challenging would be called for here.
