Channeling

“I got ... (Mother laughs) a letter from America, from someone I don’t know at all, who listened to phonograph records of my voice. And, I don’t know, it’s people who seem to have ‘occult experiences’ or perhaps practice ‘spiritualism’, and he writes to tell me that he hears my voice and I am giving him ‘revelations’ about himself. But then ... (laughing) fantastic revelations! He says it’s my voice, he doesn’t doubt it (he accepts even the seemingly most fanciful things), but still, for safety’s sake he’d like to ask me (!) if I am indeed the one who has told him those things. And among the things I am supposed to have told him, I seem to have declared that he is a combined reincarnation of Buddha, Christ, Archangel Gabriel, Napoleon and Charlemagne!... I am going to answer him that those five characters belong to different ‘lines of manifestation’ and therefore they are rather unlikely to be combined in a single being (a single human being)!
         It’s obviously little vital entities having fun. They have fun, and the more fanciful, the greater the fun, of course!
         But judging by the letters – all the mail – there is a kind of occult activity spreading over the earth in a very strange way.... In Korea, there is a man who declares himself to be the ‘New Avatar’.... There are scores and scores of them, everywhere. With the result that from a material point of view, people appear to have rather lost their balance. You feel as if the whole earth has gone half crazy. And with their new inventions, it can result in odd phenomena.”

“There are all sorts of ways of receiving indications. The precise, accurate, familiar vision that certain people have may come from several sources. It may be a vision by identity with circumstances and things, when you are used to extending your consciousness all around you. It may be an indication given by a talkative being from the invisible world who amuses himself by informing you of what is going to happen; this happens very often. Then everything depends on the moral character of your ‘informant’; if he is amusing himself at your expense, he tells you all kinds of tales — and this is what happens most of the time to people who get information from entities. To lure people on, they may very often tell them things as they really will be, since they have a universal vision in some domain of the vital or of the mind; and then when they are quite sure that you will trust them, they may start telling you tales and you make a fool of yourself. This happens very often. You yourself should be in a higher state of consciousness than these individuals or entities or these little gods, as some people call them, and be able to verify from above what their statements are worth.”
