Not just its fruits - everything about it. I mean, once you know the nature of something, you often don't need to "wait for the fruits", you really already know what the fruits will be if you recognize the smell, much like you know what will happen to someone who just blindly runs into traffic without having to wait for the "fruits" to know that it's a bad idea.QueenVee said:That sounds much more reasonable. It goes without saying that one should remain highly suspicious of ANY alien/transdimensional encounter/contact/communication until such time as its "fruits" can be carefully and objectively analyzed and evaluated.
There is a difference between arbitrary inflexible rules, and inflexible rules based on objective reality. 2+2=4 is an example of the latter. Also, "potentially valuable" has absolutely nothing to do with STS. The most horrific and painful experiences in life brought on by the most cruel psychopaths can be potentially valuable too, but it doesn't make them STO.QueenVee said:But it is equally important not to adopt a "black-and-white" attitude based on an inflexible "rule", and to remain open to the possibility that the encounter is potentially valuable.
Actually, Laura probably had to develop a few "inflexible rules" before she could ever "bring us" the C's. Years of getting the "wrong" thing taught her as much as years of trial and error teaches a mathematician. Open mindedness, in Laura's case, and in everyone else's, brought nothing but garbage. So unlike most people, she actually discovered that it's not enough by itself, and that's when those rules began to take shape, which were founded in knowledge and experience, not any sort of arbitrary assumptions or generalizations.QueenVee said:Else, Laura would have never brought us the C's
You forgot to add "Else, all those thousands of channelers would never have exposed us to the millions of pages of word salad, lies, and disinformation". Open minded is only good if it's combined with constant accumulation of knowledge, much like an open faucet is only good if it has a filter on it to remove the garbage that will kill you if you drink it.QueenVee said:Rueckert/ElkinsMcCarty would never have exposed us to "Ra"
and Jane Roberts would never have opened us to "Seth".
And much like 2+2=4 is true as long as the conditions are the same, so are most alien/human contacts the same as long as the conditions are the same. The more we learn the more we realize just how difficult it is for a human to get an STO contact, and that for 99.9999% of people, the conditions are such that they will get STS or nothing. It would take years of work to gain the right knowledge and understand the necessary approach before anything else is even possible. And even then, the person might even have to be born with something already in them to even enable a "higher contact" as opposed to some technologically-assisted beaming into the brain, so they might need the "talent" to begin with. This would make the possibility of achieving an STO knowledge-based contact even more unlikely. Also factor in the possibility of 50% of humans being OPS, and that may be another hit to that percentage.
