Title: Why So Wordy? The Spiritual Function of Verbosity in Channeling

Summary: In this illuminating reflection, Tovo of the Confederation offers insight into why channeling—especially through the instruments of L/L Research—often expresses itself in long, winding responses. Far from being a flaw, verbosity is seen as a feature of the spiritual and energetic lineage of the channeling tradition. It allows for the surrender of the instrument, the richness of nuance, and the transmission of layered concepts without the interference of mental editing. Verbosity becomes a vessel through which deeper truths can be gently unpacked and shared.

Points for the Spiritual Seeker and Channeler:

  1. The Lineage of Language

    “There is somewhat of a precedent set... shaping a certain template.” The verbosity of Confederation channeling is not arbitrary—it honors a tradition built through decades of contact, forming a vibrational groove that new instruments naturally attune to.

  2. Expectation as Energetic Structure

    “There is an expectation on the part of the instrument, and thus that expectation is responded to…” Channeling is a co-creative act. The instrument’s expectations help shape the form of the message, inviting long-form exploration when the intention is to explore deeply.

  3. Flow Over Focus: Letting Go of the Editor

    “By releasing themselves to this flow, [instruments] tend to be less worried about conciseness…” The mind seeks to refine, clarify, and truncate. The spirit, by contrast, seeks to express the full garden of meaning. Allowing flow invites higher wisdom to speak in its own tempo.

  4. The Trap of Over-Clarity

    “...refining to those words... shuts down the flow.” Over-editing can diminish the spontaneity and spiritual depth of a message. Channeling thrives on trust—letting the message emerge organically, even if imperfectly shaped.

  5. Verbose as Blessing

    “While tedious, a great benefit to this service.” Verbosity allows subtle energies, multi-dimensional meanings, and emotional resonances to be conveyed. It’s not just information—it’s transmission.

Guidance from the Confederation: Verbosity is not merely a habit of style—it is an energetic signature of surrender. When the instrument steps aside, the message is free to unfurl in its native rhythm. Though some may yearn for conciseness, the length is part of the medicine. It holds within it not only content, but cadence—an invitation to slow down and receive.

Contemplative Practice for the Channeler:

  • During your next channeling session, notice the moment when your mind tries to “tidy up” the transmission.
  • In that moment, breathe. Surrender again.
  • Let the river run long. Let the wisdom bloom wide.

May we learn to trust the pace of the mystery, and to let the message arrive as it wills.
