Hi Howe,
I still don't understand how you differentiate between "the divine", your ego and ideas being broadcast directly to your mind by beings more clever than most can imagine.

I can only say that the knowledge is deep within and when the divine permits it will surface in my consciousness.

Can you accept the possibility that what you have been conditioned (or conditioned yourself) to believe is divine knowledge transferred to your consciousness is potentially corrupt?
It is this premise that the Ouija board method was utilized as a method that does not disconnect the critical observer from the channel. As an added level of critical awareness, more than one is required to work the board, so that enhanced critical assessment can be applied.
As well, work on the self is required to remove or minimize ego influence.
Finally, a network of individuals then consider the information to help in critical assessment and then attempt to validate with other sources.
Even the Cassiopaeans say the channel is not void of influence, although the influences continue to be reduced through ongoing "grooving of the channel", if I understand correctly.
To assume messages received from the self during meditation or contemplation as pure would be ignoring known variables of influence and, therefore, folly to expect it as pure divine truth or any truth for that matter.
I hope you can give this some consideration.
As well, I would be remiss to point out that your mention of being from the far East and assuming western methods lacking demonstrates certain programming you may not be aware of. By focussing on the apparent failures of methods you deem of lesser value, you automatically put the ones you believe to be better on a pedestal, far removed from critical assessment. It might be wiser to assess all against a stable, consistent set of criteria, where nothing is sacred and above inspection.
