Theos-Talk Archives (March 2006 Message tt00802)

I haven't seen the book.  One big question comes to mind:  How did 
the Mahatma make the statement?  After HPB died, Sinnett and 
Leadbeater began using mediumistic channels.  Perry, I don't know 
what your experience with trance channels and mediums is, but I 
would love to share some of my favorite stories about the things 
that channels say.  

I once witnessed a battle between two St. Germaine channels 
simultaneously channeling contradictory messages from the 
same "master."  As channel #1 began speaking on behalf of St. 
Germaine, channel #2 fell into a trance and began speaking as St. 
Germaine.  Channel #2 never apologized, as I recall, because she 
believed St. Germaine # 2 was right in correcting St. Germaine #1.  

I recently received a late-night call about a woman who believed her 
body was infested with snakes from a dying planet.  Where did she 
get that idea?  Archangel Michael told her.  It took an appreciable 
time to make the point that Archangel Michael had been speaking 
through the body of a channel named Mary.  After repeatedly asking 
her to describe whose mouth was moving when the words were said, she 
got the idea.  Then she argued because she thought Mary was an 
honest and good woman.  She only charged $50, and she didn't really 
need the money.  

By the way, Archangel Michael had told her that if she could stand 
the snake infestation for another 6 months, it would mysteriously 
stop.  That was the best the channel could do to help the woman.

Get the idea?

Best regards,
Krsanna
