How do you feel when the channeler or other source provides info about politics and this election in particular? To me that's different than one of us sharing our own 'truth' about something because these sources take on a cloak of 'authority' and often suggest they speak for Source or some other entity of ultimate authority.

I was kind of fascinated that JUST prior to the talk about Hillary/Obama uniting on one ticket that there suddenly seemed to be a plethora of these sources repeating that idea, some in subtle language and others more overtly. Hmmmm....

I too have found some pieces from these various sources that resonate, but much that doesn't too. My reality is informed by my relationship with Source/Divine and no other which comes in dreams or through intuitive channels. And while I don't share much in the way of how those conversations go (I feel that's private), I do take to heart the instruction and meaning for my life of those messages and act accordingly. And I'm always working toward improving those personal channels and becoming a better medium for that light to shine through me...which takes practice and awareness to grow it. There are, for me, no shortcuts or work-arounds.

I guess what I've been thinking about and what concerns me about 'other' sources for these messages is that A) I don't know anything about those anonymous human sources personally who send out their messages, and most importantly it seems that B) there is a risk of becoming so satisfied and therefore lazy with these 'other' sources that one becomes dependent on them and forgets to exercise their own muscles with regards to improving their personal relationship with the 'true' source that can only be experienced from within.

I've experienced this same issue somewhat in my youth with psychic readings. The readings became a reality unto themselves that began to direct my life, and I wondered what I might be doing/thinking/feeling in my life if I hadn't ever received that information. And worse...if something they spoke of didn't happen I'd either blame it on the psychic's ability or on myself for failing to initiate the psychic's perceived event in some way. In other words I'd become much more self-conscious and dependent upon an outside source to inform my life, rather than on my dreams or developing my own relationship with Source. As I've said before, this journey can become very twisted and murky.

Of course every one has their own path, but I also feel it's a healthy thing to stop and question ourselves every now and then, particularly when something doesn't feel quite right or seems convoluted and perhaps has hidden agendas. If we are going to be open and receptive we must also fine tune our inner filters. And what helps me to filter is my own connection to Source. I get those inner messages "wrong" every now and then in translation, but mainly it's served me well.
