Are my contacts with extraterrestrial intelligence truly spiritual guidance?

A woman tells Barry that since first meeting him her life has changed, but she needs clarification. Without consciously seeking it, she says, communication with dead people, higher beings, other intelligences and extraterrestrial intelligence has come into her awareness and guided her towards what she calls God realisation. She says this began about ten years earlier when dead people started speaking through her, giving proofs of their survival to people she had never met.Barry replies that such psychic ability is relatively common and not wrong, yet belongs to a psychic band of voices, guidance, so-called higher beings and channelers which is not spiritual and not the truth. He warns against getting fixated on disembodied beings, whom he calls irresponsible, and says he can only rightly communicate truth while responsible for this body. On extraterrestrial intelligence he speaks of Earth as a cosmic being within a greater system of beings, all finally one being, God.Also read: 'The Cosmic Truth - UFOs, extraterrestrial intelligence and the truth' – https://www.barrylong.org/archive/articles/303/the-cosmic-truth-ufos-extraterrestrial-intelligence-and-the-truth~This Q&A comes from the ninth of nine recordings in the 1996 LEICESTER series, recorded in July of 1996.
