LLAM:  I nust say, you took me by surprise with this one!

ROY:  How so?

LLAM:  (looks to the right) Ohhh...just been staring humanity in the face since (mumbles) (then, smiles)  You recall Julian Jaynes quite well.  There's a big clue there in when he's describing what Homeric consciousness may have been like - people heard 'gods' telling them what to do, they didn't think for themselves.

ROY:  As in, the principle is the same as what we are going to offer to the world today.  (Llam nods)  In both instances, what we call consciousness does not originate in our heads, it comes from elsewhere.  In Homer's day the voice? direction? ideas or mentatation? about what to do next came from 'gods.'  Today, we have something similar to offer.  (Smiles at Llam expectantly)

LLAM:  You want me to make the announcement?

ROY:  It would be cool to have a deva make a cosmic revelation, yeh, but it would make you seem.....authoritatarian, I guess.

LLAM:  (imperiously)  Hi! I'm Llam from on high and I bring you a holy revelation from Heaven!  Fear not!

ROY:  Oh, it's YOU, it's YOU!

LLAM:  (giggles)

ROY:  Anyhoo, oh Members, oh Associates, oh dear Visitors - including the nut who keeps sending us e-mail asking about us and when we reply their e-mail addy disappears - we have a positional statement to make today.  For the last couple of hundred years the scientific view has been, human consciousness resides within the human brain.  Very common-sense and very wrong.  Human consciousness does not reside in the brain.  It uses the brain.  It may put up curtains and bring in furniture to make itself comfortable, but it does not live there.  The brain receives consciousness kind of like a radio or television receives its signals.  When a television is turned off the signals are still being broadcast, they're still 'in the air.'  In a similar way, when a human brain is turned off - when we're dead - the signals are still in the air.

LLAM:  You ought to tell how you stumbled upon this one.

ROY:  Yeh, I will.  If I can stop making typos.  But I wanted to conclude my opening statement by saying, as a channeler, everyone in the world does channeling every day.  Every person in the world channels themselves.  Now as for how I came upon this idea, I've been trading e-mails and comments with a new Associate and I made mention that when I am very tired I can't think and often have the sense that I'm channeling myself.  I feel braindead when I first waken and find 'thinking' very difficult.  Yet I can do everything else that I do when I'm supposedly wide awake when it comes to writing, talking, turning over ideas.  And in talking here with Roland an Sara Jane I protested that I needed my logical facilities to be able to make sense and got told that I did not.

LLAM:  Then the big light came ON!

ROY:  Right! (grins smugly)  We've fooled ourselves into thinking that we need to have conscious control over our thinking processes, which, if you think about it, we most certainly do not have.  If I say, "Don't think about having sex!" you will think about having sex.  We have little control over the thoughts that pop into our heads simply because that's all that they do - they pop into our heads, one after the other, which is what you would expect from a disembodied intelligence that doesn't know that it's disembodied.

LLAM:  My thoughts come in just such a stream.  I have no say in what's coming next.  I'm disembodied, but I know that I am.  The fact is, the consciousness of anyone or anything including the consciousness you claim for Old Sparky is everywhere.  The universe is a grid of integrated consciousnesses.  And the capper to this is that it makes the strongest case possible for survival of death.

ROY:  Uh, Llam?  You're pontificating there, watch it, buddy!

LLAM:  Oh yeh.  Don't want to sound like Elias or Seth.

ROY:  Throughout all of this, I kept thinking about how Joan of Arc has said repeatedly that when she was alive that everyone thought that they were going to go to Hell when they died.  Her revelation was that this just was not so.   And it is not so!  When we die we will keep right on going - as we are.  So that should be food for thought - if you live by a bunch of misconceptions you've gathered while alive, you'll have them in the afterlife for a bit.

LLAM:  Kind of like Jerry Falwall finding out he had made a couple of mistakes!

ROY:  You have news about him?

LLAM:  Only that he was shocked beyond belief.  "Where's Jesus?  Where's the Heavenly Father?"  So he decided to go back.

ROY:  Christ on his throne, NO.  Let's close on that, huh?

LLAM:  Right.  Good day!
