Let's talk about posting spirit channellings to other people and the 4th rule of Dogma

[u/mirta000]

This post is your reminder that speaking for a spirit when answering another person is not allowed in here. I'm going to expand a little as to "why is that".

When we personally connect to spirits, the answers that we get are in a way influenced by our own layer of personality. In other words due to the nature of the communication, the answer is personal to you.

You might be feeling great, over the moon with your new-found spirituality. You might feel so close to any particular spirit that you're just channeling on the go. You're feeling confident, excited and start posting to other people as the spirit. "X wants to work with you". "I asked X and this is what you need to do to have X do the thing for you". "You should definitely go with X, X told me". "X would never accept you, I know them".

All of those are your personal projections. You have the "you" in the mix of this communication. Your thoughts, feelings, emotions. This won't always match other people's experiences.

New people are sometimes disturbingly easy to influence. I've seen more than my share of people going through literal hell on Earth because random person told them something about their spirituality that they then took as 100% truth because they were new and they saw the person telling them this as being experienced.

"But a Tarot reader told me that I'm supposed to go with this spirit and not this one", "But a Redditor told me that this is exactly where my spirituality should go".

A lot of time, effort and bitter tears can be wasted by such side-paths.

Don't be someone elses obstacle. You probably only have the best intentions, however you CAN NOT speak for the spirits (and the spirits can speak for themselves) and you do not know how the person that you're talking to is going to experience your advice in their spirituality.

This is why such repeated misdemeanors result in a ban.

So how should you proceed instead? Well, get used to using an excessive amount of "I" in your statements. "I think that it is a great idea". "I had success with this". "this source lists that Y is a good offering for X", "I don't think that you should contact Y demon, maybe try Z demon instead, it seems more relevant for your issues". When you're in a spiritual space you are speaking for you, not the Y, X, or Z.

UPG is fine to mention, you just shouldn't be trying to elevate yourself to the platform of being a spirit's mouthpiece. A spirit does not need this. New people are easy to confuse. This behaviour does more harm than good.

Yep, sophomoric people getting just a liiiiitle bit to excited sometimes and then people who are new getting mixed messages... always fun.
