It is vital that you be discerning about information sent to your planet from sources beyond because not everything coming in is from the light. Dark sources are sending forth misinformation that later can be proven false, and the intent is to discredit all channeled messages. Those whose telepathic connections are just opening need to know that they must ask for light protection so lower sources cannot reach them. (Matthew through Suzie Ward) - www.matthewbooks.com

You are experiencing a constant flood of new information and input from many sources. This is assisting you in developing the quality of your discernment as you decide what to accept as your truth… Accept only the information that rings true to the deepest part of your being and set aside any that does not. (Orin through Sanaya Roman from the book - Spiritual Growth: Being Your Higher Self)

It is important to be cautious about the darkness that will be drawn to all individuals who are working under the banner of Light during these times of great transformation. A cautious eye and ear and sensitivity will allow you to see where darkness intends to tempt you off your path of light and into the dark. The forces of darkness can work through any individual, however light-centered they claim to be. Remain sure in your discernment, strong in your energy and faith and you will be safe and free from harm. Our great gratitude, our love and Light goes to all those workers for the Light who focus their heart and their mind so greatly upon the task at hand. (St Germain)

We have to live today by what truth we can get today, and be ready tomorrow to call it falsehood. (William James)

…telepathic communication between sources beyond Earth and receivers on the planet is coming to be regarded by many as the certain hope for paradise regained on Earth. The TRUTH coming through IS that! But not all messages are the truth. With the higher frequencies coming in, the opening of these connections is happening daily, and with the rapid and wide dissemination of messages afforded by the Internet, the dark agenda is cashing in on their growing acceptance. Some material claimed as transmitted by spiritual beings actually is composed in offices right there on earth. It mimics enough of the respected channels’ information to beguile readers and cleverly disguises its disinformation.

Also, if the word received by authentic channels is not the full story, it is misleading. Some messages are encouraging an end to opposing any happenings seen as "negative" and a focus only on the "positive" you want to manifest [ie - Gratitude]. Others state that light and dark are within every soul and recognizing this polarity will permit reconciliation of the extremes without your participation in the acting-out of opposing energy forces [ie - Compassion]. Either these kinds of messages are not coming through altogether correctly or completely or the Earth messengers unwittingly are reaching extraterrestrial sources that deliberately are giving wrong information, because strict adherence to only one of those positions will not bring you enLIGHTenment. Soul-searching for understanding what is unfolding and why, embodies ALL of those aspects, not one lifted out of the whole as THE remedy, thereby defining the only proper role for all…

Some messages are rosy forecasts that don’t present the whole picture. More personal and planetary upheavals are ahead as the negativity is lifted and dispersed or transmuted; more darkness is yet to be revealed. Thus trusting that Eden on Earth is coming, needs to include this realistic aspect, otherwise it also could be counterproductive to the battle ending more swiftly. Believers may be actively helping to bring an end to violence and suffering, but when the turnabout is not within their time-frame expectations, their trust may turn to fear and despair, and that would aid the dark agenda.

So we caution you to be evermore discerning about the messages you believe and follow. Connect consciously with your soul, wherein the Whole Truth lies – if the information flows with ease, it is truthful; if you experience a jolting or resistance sensation, it is not.

More so than at any other era in the last two millennia, in this time of ever-increasing light, consciousness-soul connections are being made easier. And as I mentioned, so is telepathic communication, which also is every soul’s birthright. Here again caution is needed by you who are recognizing your new connections: Intend that only light sources be permitted to contact you; intend the Christed light in all your connections. If you are feeling tired, or ill, or otherwise stressed; do not attempt this communication because your energy level is too low to reach the high vibrations of light beings. Feeling egotistical about your achievement is a certainty that you will reach low-level beings as egoism carries an energy attachment that is incompatible with light, whereas humility and thankfulness have light vibrations. (Matthew through Suzie Ward) - www.matthewbooks.com

In these times of great change, our advise to you is keep your ideas about truth fluid, for as you grow, you change and you alter your perceptions, and therefore, what is accepted as your truth changes right along with you. Know that what you accept as a new truth today, might vanish tomorrow as another, higher truth comes upon you. That is spiritual growth, dear ones. Welcome it with open hearts and minds. These years can be so exciting for you! Those who are not willing to change their truth do not grow and become locked in the past. The present eclipses them and soon leaves them behind to live in an old and unchanging reality. Observe those who persistently cling to their past, who are unable or unwilling to move into the present time, and they will appear to age right before your eyes.

We implore you, do not become attached to any way of being, any one modality, any philosophy that is too narrow or structured, or buy into any agreement that gives power to someone outside yourself. Discernment, discernment, discernment - I cannot emphasize this enough, for as quickly as an apparent truth comes forth and you incorporate it into your belief system, it may be superseded by a higher truth, or a new concept. In looking back, can you not see that much of the knowledge you now accept as your absolute truth were beyond your wildest imagining five years ago, or even a year ago? Be aware that what you are so certain about today, will undoubtedly change tomorrow, or next week. (Archangel Michael through Ronna Herman) - www.RonnaStar.com

The darkness loves to fool ascending initiates by masquerading as beings of light, and giving out wrong information that sabotages you away from your spiritual path. (Unknown)

The way to tell what is "dark agenda propaganda" is simple: the dark agenda always uses FEAR without any upbeat way to deal with the problems. www.members.austarmetro.com.au/~hubbca/index.htm

It is proper to listen and learn from others, but no longer are you to blindly follow the teachings of others. Seek to validate and live your own truth to the best of your ability after it has been authenticated via your heart monitor. Creator truth is always empowering, loving and for the highest good of all. (Archangel Michael through Ronna Herman) - www.RonnaStar.com

Resonating with another's truth is merely the first step to finding and establishing your personal truth. (Devin through Jelaila Starr) - www.nibiruancouncil.com

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. (Buddha)

When one is in judgment of another, one blocks the love from flowing from their heart to the other individual... We would like to speak about the difference between judgment and assessment. Assessment is an act of discernment or observation that is neutral in nature. Judgment is the result of an assessment with an emotional charge of either 'right' or 'wrong' added. As one rises above the thoughtforms of right and wrong, one can be neutral about one's assessments. (Lord and Lady Rize) - www.ascendpress.org

…please practice your discernment. Discernment is the art of making life choices without judgment. It is used in the higher vibrations of the new planet Earth, and it replaces judgment. Judgment requires you to label something as good or bad, and apply polarity consciousness to it, and that is no longer appropriate in the higher vibrations of the new planet Earth. (The Group through Steve Rother) - www.Lightworker.com (Source: Sedona Journal of Emergence - June 2004) - www.sedonajournal.com

Remember to release judgment upon others for their beliefs and truths. Send them unconditional love from within and know that eventually, they too will know the truth, for all paths lead to God. Resist the urge of many Lightworkers to become evangelistic and "set someone straight" in their perceptions of the truth, for you do not know the divine plans that others have brought into their incarnations. (Machiventa Melchizedek through Carolyn Holtgrewe) - www.galacticfoundation.com (Source: Sedona Journal of Emergence - June 2004) - www.sedonajournal.com

The practice of discernment is part of higher consciousness. Discernment is not just a step up from judgement. In life's curriculum, it is the opposite of judgement. Through judgement a man reveals what he needs to confront and learn. Through discernment, one reveals what he has mastered. (Love Without End by Glenda Green)
