During the experiments, at one point Dr. Schwartz’s own mother was trying to come through and was overpowering the other dead people who were scheduled to make an appearance. This seemed to convey how little actual “control” the medium had over the channels of communication. It seemed the dead were more successful at establishing and controlling the boundaries of communication than the medium himself. Is this one of the reasons why divine partnership is so critical when one works with non-local consciousness?

This is certainly a powerful argument for having a measure of control of things in conducting such efforts. The fact this is not easy to do is as much a function of ignorance as the impossibility of introducing greater rigor and precision. There are many variables involved in an intuitive exploration, and we will be exploring some of these in the course of your questions, but there are major difficulties no matter how one goes about such an exploration. There are pros and cons and trade-offs inherent in how one proceeds. To do so without divine protection, we would say is always a major error that leaves the subsequent effort open to question because it will very likely become corrupted, with the world in its current state of containment, oversight, and manipulation by extraterrestrials, including extraterrestrial psychics who watch carefully for any intuitive outreach by anyone and will rush to engage, and then begin to manipulate the intuitive to change what happens according to their own preferences in having the upper hand as a stand-in for who the intuitive might want to be reaching. There are many, many intuitives who believe they are speaking to their spirit guide, their higher self, an ascended master, an archangel, and so on, who are doing nothing of the kind but talking to a physical extraterrestrial being with psychic ability who is pretending to be the desired source being sought and, in that way, sidelines the intuitive exploration to keep it in-house, so to speak, under the control of the extraterrestrials. They will be able to introduce faulty information through misguiding in an ever so subtle way to shape the narrative and discourage further and deeper explorations. They will not only do this through control of what is relayed through the medium, but they will manipulate the mind of the medium directly and the minds of others involved with the overall effort if there is a group enterprise underway, like a scientific exploration, and they will endeavor to distort the thinking and undermine the enterprise through inducing complacency, and so on. This is one of the pitfalls when one is purporting to talk with spirits. There are many spirits out and about who are close in vibration to the living human and will engage with a psychic quite readily. Some are tricksters who will want to play games, some are even more malevolent and will want to do harm to seriously misguide. The most clever and deceptive and insidious are the physical extraterrestrials wanting to maintain a charade, and they are often able to derail the aims of people coming forward to mount a serious exploration of what is possible to learn through the intuitive reach. This has been done again and again through channelers who are manipulated to give false perspectives to their following, and their following, in turn, are all manipulated to be open and receptive and unquestioning of the wisdom they presume is present in the pronouncements that come forth, and it becomes a kind of circular communication and a "closed shop" where people will come away with a uniformity of perspectives and beliefs that will be false but deeply entrenched, and often a good dose of complacency as well to make them feel they have learned what they need to know, and then they will withdraw, having gone to the wrong well and "drunk the Kool-Aid," and they may end up sidelined on a permanent basis, looking no further for truth.
