Genuine channeled information is only valid to those people who find that it resonates with them. If any information, channeled or otherwise, doesn't resonate with you, then it's probably best to look to information that does.

The important thing is to use discernment when listening to or reading channeled information. How does it make you feel? Always trust your gut instincts :)

If you're interested in learning about and discovering the true nature of reality, then channeled information will come into your awareness. And if it does, and if it resonates with you, it's because you are moving to a higher frequency dimensional reality.

And if it doesn't enter your awareness or it doesn't resonate with you, then you may have decided not to move into a higher dimension frequency reality, for your own reasons.

And if you're not sure, then now is the time to get clear and make that decision. Think of it this way: if it feels good, then it will serve you and if it doesn't feel good, then it won't serve you at this timing.

Channeled information has validity for me, because I've realized that past, present and future are all occurring, simultaneously, here and now. Therefore, it makes sense that loving beings from what we perceive as our future have the ability to communicate with us in real time, now. And due to their loving nature they only want the best for us, their cosmic brothers and sisters, and that's why their information is beneficial to us.

You have to remember that in a Universe of contrast, polarity and duality, all kinds of beings exist. Not all of these beings have our best interest at heart and that's why we must use discernment at all times. Once you discern that any being is of a positive and loving nature, then you know that any information that they disseminate can serve you :)

It is about as valid as anything else you are comfortable with.

Once you are comfortable if there is any truth to it, you will encounter it.

How many people have encountered God or an atom?

I agree with what @Cory said. Here is an excerpt from Book Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch:

How can I know this communication is from God? How do I know this is not my own imagination?

What would be the difference? Do you not see that I could just as easily work through your imagination as anything else? I will bring you the exact right thoughts, words or feelings, at any given moment, suited precisely to the purpose at hand, using one device, or several. You will know these words are from Me because you, of your own accord, have never spoken so clearly. Had you already spoken so clearly on these questions, you would not be asking them.

So roughly the same thing can be applied to channeling. If the information is useful and resonates with you, why does it matter where it comes from? Answers and information needed can appear in any form, from a Billboard in the highway, a song, book, etc.

On a channeling workshop given by Bashar, he said that basically we are always channeling information in some way, through our imagination, dreams, etc. So what we refer to as channeling is just a different kind of channeling. Here's an exercise he gave that could be useful to illustrate the point:

Put two chairs facing each other, as if 2 people were to seat there and talk. Now seat on one chair and ask a question which you don't have an answer to, just as if you were talking to someone who is an expert on the matter. Now get up, and seat on the other chair and start answering the question the "other" you asked.

It's pretty incredible how things start flowing and somehow you start talking and maybe one or more answers come up. If you search for "bashar channeling workshop" in youtube you can find the whole thing (there are really good exercises/meditations in there by the way).

Hope it helps!

Fantastic question dollar! I like the answers so far because all of them point to what I know for sure. If it holds truth for, and resonates within you, it's valid for you. I personally don't ascribe to much channeling, not because it doesn't hold a grain or two of truth, but because in order to get that grain of simple truth I would have to wade through a ton of triple-speak. For Advanced beings they seem to make simple truths sound too complex. I like to hear the bottom line straight and to the point. I hope that if they ever channel through me, the beings will be brief and give out the real goods, not just the feel goods!

I channel so it is hard for me to be non biased. I feel it does have validity, the message does. I have seriously considered that the entity I contact is a part of my mind that is expressing itself in a way I ( and others ) can understand or will accept. I do not believe that is the case because of the experiences that I do have and have had, so I feel it is real, I have felt and seen and connected to him. This in itself is so expansive. I do know one thing, weather it is a part of my mind used to accept it or if it is a separate entity, we are all one so he IS a part of me, and he IS me. We have learned to not judge, or praise the teachers of the great information and things that resonate with our souls. SO i will say, Does it matter? If you think it does than it will, and if you do what all channels and channelers have said sens it all began, TAKE ONLY WHAT U NEED FORM THE MESSAGES, TAKE WHAT RESONATES AND LEAVE THE REST. If you follow that advice and understand even when we learn from others words they still are an external manifestation of our own consciousnesses, it really doesn't matter how we get or who we get the message from, only that we are growing, and when we expand the universe does as well, than all other issues are now obsolete and hold very little importance. At least this is how I see it. One separate view from the oneness that is, Thank you and I hope this helped.

Here is a session of why it is important to find the separate views within the oneness as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQoIbdGod1I

The Pleiadian Collective predicted of increased amount of solar flare activity in early March, and that prediction has now come true. I consider that valid and reliable. In regards to all channeled information I think most, if not all of it is valid because of the expansion it creates in my consciousness. Thank You

I choose to stay far, far away from anything channeled. I did some research on the topic of "archons" and decided it was best if I avoided all such contact and all material gleaned through channeling.

I have struggled with this myself. Sometimes I find the 'channelling' creepy. However, I have had 'visions' or 'insights' that seem to correlate with some of the channelled material. However, the Bible talks about lying spirits and how they use truth mixed with the lies to deceive. So I haven't made my mind up on this.
