Does a corrupted source depend on the source’s intention? What are the other factors?

This as well is a very good question, and there are range of possibilities here. The people you seek to interact with, for the most part, are genuine in their motivations and sincere in wishing to share something important and useful to others. And they are divinely inspired as well to do so. They are living good lives and wanting the best for humanity. All have limitations and shortcomings and there are limits to their reach and their ability to discern and to interpret their information and to convey a true meaning in what they see and perceive. So the duty falls on the receiver to make some sort of judgment and assessment. This is not always easy, particularly with those who are sincere in what they are about. There are relatively few who are deliberately attempting to deceive, although they are out there as well. There are many, many, agents of the government, and the military, and intelligence organizations worldwide who are engaged actively in spreading disinformation and propaganda, and intending to infiltrate various groups and to spread doubt and discord and disinformation among them, as well as to gather intelligence for nefarious purposes and so forth. So of course it goes without saying these are all untrustworthy sources and it falls to you, individually, pursuing the truth to watch for signs and follow your intuitive guidance in making some judgment. This is more easy to do than in the case of a genuine individual who is heartfelt in their desire to serve, but the bells will sound and the alarms go off when they speak an untruth for those who are truly listening with their highest awareness. So this is a dilemma that all have to face because the level of corruption is quite severe at this stage. There are many, many, dark forces working against humanity actively, to corrupt, to mislead, to misguide, and to dis-inform, and with the intention of diverting attention from the truth and leading people to squander their time and resources and energies on false leads, false directions, and in some cases a worse fate. There are many ways this is done. It is done across the board to every living person through relentless mind control that takes place energetically through energies beamed planet-wide. They also attempt to disrupt the divine realm’s communication and energetics seeking to reach individuals to help their uplifting and support and guidance. They are less effective in this, but nonetheless the attempts are being made. It does not take much to distract a person to disregard a fleeting thought that comes in via the heart when there are so many things to fear. Fear is the great enemy and will mislead and will render a person incapable of following their higher guidance because this triggers the survival instinct, and then people go into fight or flight mode and that’s not the time to be meditating, and listening to your spirit guides, or Creator for example, who will always be a subtle voice and will not be ever acting through fear. And in fact their communication turns off when fear is the dominant energy within the individual. So we resonate with loving kindness and that is the way to reach us and communicate with us. But it shows the size of the problem, with humanity rushing about and in turmoil, with so much discord being suggested and promoted across the board. And that is yet another example of the interference, where all of the media conspire to whip up agitated groups about any number of issues, and they work both sides of the room, so to speak. No matter what your leanings in terms of politics or religion or national interest or any other category that distinguishes an individual or group from others, they will serve to incite fear, insight, mistrust, and inflame passions, and areas of discord and disagreement, to make enemies worsen in their divisions and their hatreds of their opposite number. This is no accident. It happens with great vigor and great glee by those behind the scenes inducing this. So this is what you are working against, the mind control already in place with everyone who thinks they are serving the cause, and this is not always easy to overcome. This takes some work often times to undo. There are some people less inclined to be manipulated in this way, and they are more reliable sources, but there is no easy way to tell, and no absolute test for who is trustworthy and who is not, for it depends on each and every fact and figure they may wish to share, whether it is true or not. The channelers are a special problem because they themselves are usually corrupted by the dark ones. They know the channelers are a high risk to them by having access to divine truth, and this they wish to prevent from happening at all costs. So they will target all channelers relentlessly to subvert them and to find ways to begin to partner with them themselves, and this takes them out of the action because then they are talking to an extraterrestrial source and not to a divine being any longer, but to an imposter who pretends to be the divine being. This is hard to accept and even understand for many, especially with religious training, because they cannot envision a world in which someone can pretend to be God or pretend to be an Archangel and get away with that, because God would certainly strike them dead on the spot. This is not so, because we are quite careful and scrupulous in following our own rule about non-interference in human affairs. You are in charge of your world. You have the word of law. You decide what happens. If you reach out to us for help, then we can come to your aid, and there are rules about that as well. But if someone pretends to be us, that is their free will choice, and we cannot stop them directly. So this is one of the road hazards you must deal with. It is no different than having human criminals out and about who may be con men and wish to sell you a bill of goods, so to speak, and take advantage, take your money and give you something phony in exchange, and you only find out later that you have been duped. So, many channelers, a high percentage, more than 90%, are listening to a false prophet and imposter, and this corrupts everything they do. The reason this is difficult to detect is this is done in a very clever way, to masquerade as the desired target or source by knowing the party line expected, and hewing to the persona of the true target insofar as they are capable. And they are quite clever in doing this, and this allays suspicion because a high percentage of what they say will be truth, and will be divine truth, and in alignment, and it is only over a period of time as falsehoods start to appear in the narrative that they may be discerned as being untrustworthy. So this creates many, many complications, and this will be a serious dilemma for all in your group of followers who are seeking those who have the inside track and can spread the actual reality with inside knowledge. This is not easy to come by with certainty, and is a problem you will have to learn to overcome as you go.
