Much has been explored in this project on the types and uses of psychic ability and on the topic of channeling. Karl has even authored an ebook on the dangers of false channeling which can be downloaded for free at getwisdom.com/false. When channeling, one is carrying on a conversation, perceived within the mind, to learn something from an outside consciousness. This can be a low-level being or even all the way up to Creator, expressed through the channeler’s vocal cords to speak directly or in the form of their hand to conduct automatic writing. But with seership, one is sending out intuitive feelers, in a sense, going to see something for themselves, directly. Can Creator comment further on the difference between seers and channelers?

There are many forms of intuitive perception. These have been categorized as clairvoyance, clairsentience, clairaudience, and so on. The main distinction is that all depend on the individual, what they focus their intention on, how their nonlocal consciousness is operating, and their ability to connect with it to receive information in one form or another. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. When one is after truth, the highest of perceptions is knowings, to have a full and complete understanding of truth about something come into one's awareness so that the answer to a question, the solution to a problem, the meaning of an issue, is understood in the moment. This, of course, is still an incremental process to the broad goal of the soul journey, the life underway and its aims and goals, and all that people want to accomplish through their existence. You take things one at a time, inevitably, so any gain in knowing is a partial answer to the big picture being pieced together through your life experience. What the seer does is to receive impressions, but these must be interpreted further to fully understand them. The channeler receives, at least if talking to an authentic high-level divine source, specific language that is most commonly understood readily, not that there cannot be deeper insights gleaned on further reflection, having received a channeled body of information, but channeling leaves much less ambiguity, at least with respect to what is described. A seer relying on clairvoyance to see an image of something might be seeing the way their own nonlocal consciousness conveys to their awareness the appearance of a dark spirit being, a ghostly presence, someone in another lifetime, as a measure of communication through symbolism to convey a broader message than can be done by the mind visually. The saying that, "A picture is worth a thousand words," is very apt here. While those who can see visions of things, even an active replay from the akashic records of events in parallel lives of a person, are, in effect, an eyewitness to something that has meaning. But the question then is, "Which of those thousand words might apply?" Seeing an act of violence take place without the knowing of where, when, why, how, and the underlying agenda still must apply an analysis to what they see for it to have the greatest possible benefit of informing someone about something important that has taken place. The same is true of auditory information. In a sense, it is like reading tea leaves, one can see what is there but is looking for what the implications are; in other words, what is still hidden in some way. So it is a starting point to be a seer more than a reliable analytical tool to gain a complete understanding of something. Given enough time, enough probings, this will add to the body of information gathered in that fashion. But again, as with beauty being in the eye of the beholder, who the seer is, their makeup, their personality, their depth of understanding about life, human motivations, and the workings of both the divine and the darkness, as a more complete human being, will have much to add to the richness and validity of what they come away with in understanding, and then perhaps conveying the meaning of what they are seeing to others. So these capabilities are like any other tools, what matters, in the end, is how one uses them, the level of craftsmanship, talent, perseverance, dedication, passion, and depth of experience are all elements that will govern the quality and value of the end product of such explorations.
