Heh... I don't know how I found my way to this thread, but here I am so....
Let me ask a question: are they misses, or simply misunderstandings in the steam in which they are revealed?
I'm busy right now catching up on C sessions that I have missed since my attention was elsewhere on other knowledge. One thing that is clear, the sessions have been and continue to evolve over time. My view is they evolve for deliberate, though not always understood, reasons:
- Changes in methodology over time. I remember the early C transcripts there was a lot of feedback about how repetitive use of the process of communication would in fact improve coherency, accuracy, and ease of messaging, thus making the process of communication more and more efficient and effective.
- Different personalities participating with Laura in sessions. I recall very clearly when reading the 3 volumes of transcripts published that some sessions went better than others qualitatively and quantitatively. I also recall Laura troubleshooting "weird" (my paraphrase, not her words) sessions, she very often tracked it down, with the help of the Cs to particular personalities. One clear finding she came to was the team mattered, and personalities in the session team and their own little internal agendas/dramas could and did impact some sessions in terms of clarity and even content revealed.
- Timelines and events are somewhat fluid. In other words, sometimes something is changed deliberately by some entity to modify a timeline and that can easily have ripple effects. So in my view, re-correlation on a miss is a good practice, and it is my recollection that Laura often did exactly that.
Setting that aside, I am of the view that the core purpose of what the Cs share is to stimulate our gathering of knowledge and understanding from any and all sources that knock on the door of our intuition and resonate with our heart when we open the door, so to speak. I don't think keeping a score card on the Cs is really warranted anymore. They are beyond credible after almost 30 years of consistent and persistent work by Laura and team to continue to explore and discover with the Cs.
I generally approach any mystery from the stand point of an open mind and a desire to understand, and in particular understand context in which something is revealed. Consider this: perhaps some perceived misses are actually sign-post clues for us all to explore the particular line of thought more closely. In other words, in the mysterious methods of the Cs in preserving free will and yet gently poking at us to explore and learn on our own volition, sometimes a miss is actually an actual hit for many who read the C transcripts. Could also be sometimes they miss, just to be an event trigger for some future seeker of knowledge who comes across the Cs. Or it could just be sometimes random noise scrabbles the incoming message too.
I guess, at this point in time, they have proven themselves consistently, and they are communicating through some rather complex processes, that include teams of human personalities as part of the stream of sharing. So, does it really matter at this level of maturity in the Cs information sharing?
I have introduced many people over the years to Laura's books, and I have literally never lead the reader as to the credibility or validity of the messages, as I truly feel it is a unique exploration and outcome for each person who crosses paths with the documented C sessions. I simply give them a copy of one of her books, and encourage them to put it on a table at their home and when it draws them to curiosity, pick it up and explore it with an open mind. After all, it's their journey not mine, as I have my own journey and we perhaps share a common trail in said journey.
