Because the truth comes from within, not without.

Exactly, the message is what's important not the messenger or the format.

If it resonates strongly with you, go with it.

I understand your perspective and common sense approach, in general that is a wise position.

Personally I have found far more 'truth' and extremely valuable spiritual concepts and ideas in channeled material (specifically some great ones have been; Ramtha, RA, Reunion With Source/Becoming Gods II - James Gilliland, Path of Empowerment - Barbara Marciniak) then in ALL OTHER LITERARY MATERIAL Ive ever read combined.. Ramtha alone will knock your socks off and blast you into next week if you put your ego and circle of experiences aside and really grasp what is being said.

Many other channeled works Ive read have been not-so-brilliant and more ambiguous but still of value, but my point is (for me) when its good, nothing else even comes close.
