User:Nazar/Lee Carroll

Lee Carroll is an American channeller, speaker and author. In his books he clarifies that he is not a type of channeler who goes into trance and becomes a passive medium for another entity to communicate with our relative world, but rather "an interpreter", who remains conscious and uses his own mind to convey in the current physical reality what he receives from the "other side". In his books Lee Carroll also provides descriptions of the nature of the channeling process (both his own and that of other channelers, mediums, and clairvoyants), accordingly to which, no channeler is able to convey the received information perfectly, due to the very nature of such information. Carroll says channeled information can not be adequately translated into the notions of the time-space conditioned reality, which surrounds us. Hence, any channeling converted into words or text should not be taken literally, but rather serve as a help to tune one's subtle energy perception to the original message (which is transcendental to ordinary reality). Based on the above, Carroll dismisses many logical inconsistencies spotted both in his and other mediums' messages.

Career
Originally an audio engineer, Carroll says in his books that he began to channel communication with an entity from "beyond the veil" called Kryon in 1989. In his early books Kryon is presented as an entity from the "magnetic service", who supposedly is responsible for reconstruction of the magnetic grid of the Earth, which reconstruction is necessary in view of the changing spirituality and new evolutionary tasks of Humanity. In later books Lee Carroll describes Kryon as an angelic loving entity from the Source (or "Central Sun") who has been with the Earth "since the beginning" and belongs to the same "Family" of Archangel Michael. The context of using the words "angelic", "archangel" and others is, however, a New Age one, while traditional interpretations of these terms are reevaluated and some connotations are expanded to much broader metaphilosophical and pan-spiritual meaning. He claims the information he publishes, both printed and online, is intended to help humans "ascend to a higher vibrational level", which, accordingly to his books, is synonymous to overall mental, spiritual and physical evolution.

Carroll's Kryon series introduced and elaborated a number of popular New Age concepts. Amongst them are: co-creating, a spiritual contract, karmic imprint, karmic implant, magnetic layers (strands) of human DNA, karmic groups etc.

Another topic touched in many of his books is the 2012 transition. Accordingly to Lee Carroll, Kryon's message is that 2012 transition is going to happen on the level of sub-conscious, archetypal energy and open up new avenues to the Humanity's collective mind. It marks a milestone in changing Humanity's behavioral paradigm.

Kryon's messages about Earth include, among others, the Earth being a living entity with an individual consciousness, who cooperates with the Humans. The relationship between the Earth and Humans is elaborated based on the "magnetic field" interactions.

Throughout the whole Kryon series the concept of Reincarnation is much spoken about. Many of "Kryon's messages" include subtle details on the mechanics of it, the value and purpose of human life and death etc., which are philosophically consonant with the Dharmic approaches common in Buddhism and Hinduism. The books are, however, written from a Westerner's perspective, and no direct references to the Eastern sources are made, while the Christian and Bible-based spiritual mysticism is present in the wording and expressive style.

Carroll has co-authored three books on what he terms Indigo children, a new generation of children he says represents an evolution in human consciousness, and eleven books of channellings from Kryon.

According to Hay House, Carroll's publisher, he has sold over half a million books translated into 14 languages. . According to David Thomas' book "Tuning In: A Journalist, 6 Trance Channelers and Messages from the Other Side", by 2011 Lee Carroll's book sales are over 1 million and he is the most famous channeler amongst those discussed in his book.

As stated by the French Publisher of Lee Carroll's book, Les Éditions Ariane, Lee Carroll's presentations in multiple countries had gathered crowds up to 3000 persons.

Criticism
Starting from 2002, some of the French media, like Sud-Ouest, fr:Le Monde de l'éducation, Le Canard enchaîné, Le Nouvel Observateur, M6 (TV channel), France 2 have presented the activities of Lee Carroll in critical light. In Le Canard Enchaîné article, e.g., seeming logical contradictions are shown in the different messages attributed to Kryon by Lee Carroll: "Tout pétri d'amour et de paix qu'il est, Kryeon sait quand même se faire respecter : ainsi il a révélé à Lee Carrol qu'il était déjà intervenu deux fois sur Terre pour procéder à "un ajustement global" : à chaque fois l'humanité s'est éteinte et seuls quelques spécimens ont survécu pour assurer la continuité de l'espèce."
