This is the name of a consciously channeled source contacted by Laura Knight-Jadczyk in 1994 after a two year experiment in what she calls "superluminal communication". Laura explains the motivations and protocols of the experiment:

As I have explained many times, for me, after years of working with people's heads as a hypnotherapist, I didn't much care whether such things as the "soul" or "past lives" actually existed or not. I only cared that the therapeutic modality worked and gave people relief. My own take on it was that it gave them a drama to explain things, to work things out.

The same was true with so-called "spirit release therapy" otherwise known as "exorcism." I incorporated that process in a couple of cases where nothing else worked in the late 80s. I was quite astonished at the results (and was very careful to not contaminate my subject). I
wondered just what the heck was going on. Again, I just explained it to myself that it was a self-created drama that allowed the person to sort themselves out. It didn't matter to me; I wasn't invested in believing any of it. I only cared that it relieved suffering. And it did, every time. It was even a rather simple formulaic process which is why I was so surprised that it worked. Could it be that easy???

My theory at the time was that such "spirits" were merely fragments of the personality of an individual, sort of like little broken off circuits in the brain running in repetitive loops, created by trauma or stress. Perhaps an individual, when faced with a difficulty, entered a narcissistic state of fantasy, created a "dream," which was imprinted in the memory of the brain. If they then emerged from this state back into dealing with their reality, but not having dealt with the issue itself, it might become locked away in a sort of cerebral file drawer, sitting there, waiting to be triggered by the electricity or neurochemicals of the brain in some random unconscious scan. The same could be said for so-called past life memories; they were merely self-created memory files generated in a state of narcissistic withdrawal due to stress. Such
neurological files could then be downloaded and read by using the conscious bypass method of either automatism or simply allowing the conscious mind to "step aside" as in trance channeling. For that matter, simple psychotherapy could be considered channeling in these terms. Unconscious or uncontrolled channeling is more problematic because it suggests a definite pathological condition. In such cases, the "alter" ego, as either an alternate personality or whatever, is strong and well entrenched enough to establish a far stronger hold on the body of the host than those which can only manifest via automatism or trance.

But then, there were things that happened that didn't fit my categories as described here, as broad as those categories might be. Not a LOT of stuff; I'm way too practical and prosaic to tolerate much weirdness in my life. You can't raise five kids with your head in the clouds. But there was enough weird stuff that questions were raised in my mind. I wanted answers that actually covered all the issues, not just cherry picked solutions. I'm not only practical, I'm stubborn like a bull
terrier, and that's how I went after the problem.

My working hypothesis at the time, considering the boring regularity with which subjects from all walks of life came up with the same images, the same types of dramas, the same dynamics in the subconscious mind, was that there was some sort of "field of images," or archetypes. Jung's work was helpful, but didn't go far enough to explain what I was witnessing.

So, I decided that it would be interesting to access this pure field. That's actually what started the whole thing. I wasn't sure that it existed, though Jung was pretty sure about it. Much less, did I have any real clues about how to access such a thing. I've explained all of this in my book "Amazing Grace."

There was another problem also: I didn't trust anything - and I mean ANYTHING - that would just come into somebody's head - not even my own. As far as I was concerned, most so-called channeling was just garbage. I also wasn't interested in talking to alleged "dead dudes" because, by this time, I'd had quite enough of that and if anybody knows they don't have much of interest to say, it was me, (assuming that it is anything other than a drama in the head of the subject).

One of the more interesting theories I came across was developed by Barbara Honegger, said to be the first person in the United States to obtain an advanced degree in experimental parapsychology. Honegger suggested that automatism was the result of "stimulation" of the right hemisphere of the
brain so that it could overcome the suppression of the left hemisphere. It was never entirely clear what was doing the stimulating, however and I could obtain no further information on her research. So, I was on my own, and I experimented for two years with a ouija board type instrument, running through loops of all kinds of subconscious stuff exactly as I had theorized existed. I have dozens of notebooks full of every single exchange, most of it nonsense or the usual "metaphysical word salad."

When the so-called Cassiopaeans did, finally, "come through" (accompanied by strange phenomena I should add) I was actually unprepared to cope with what I had achieved. How do you carry on a conversation with the intelligence of the Pure Field of Archetypes? It took another two years to just "learn the language," so to say.

Diverse other people participated in the channeling experiment with Laura, most often through a Ouija board type instrument, but Knight-Jadczyk is the only constant participant and primus motor.

The Cassiopaeans identify themselves as 'you in the future' and as '6th density light beings.' According to the source, the "you" refers to a number of people who 'recognize the application' of the information imparted by the channeled source and the research for which this information has been an inspiration.

The Cassiopaea material is somewhat different in style and content from other material received from allegedly similar sources, such as Ra or the Pleiadians. The metaphysical or cosmological discourse is quite compatible with the aforementioned but the Cassiopaea material is more specific and hands-on. Of contemporary channeled sources, Cassiopaea is unique in that there the channeled material has been the starting point, not the end product. The fact that Knight-Jadczyk and her associates have extensively researched the fields covered by the channeled material and used this research for formulating further avenues of inquiry lends a unique hands-on, interactive tone to the material. Cassiopaea contains almost no vague, generic lectures on metaphysics, as are commonly found with channeled material. For a somewhat systematic exploration of the cosmology on which Cassiopaea develops further, one can see Ra.

The principal themes covered are:

' Man's possibility for spiritual progress through understanding and dealing with dynamics of daily life.
Present day secret government, alien related and conspiracy material. This is explored in general and also as relates to the authors'> personal experience.

History, ancient as well as modern. In ancient history, lost civilizations such as Atlantis and former cataclysms and alien participation in human evolution and manipulation thereof are discussed.
Directions of research for physics, indirectly dealing with themes such as gravity, spacetime manipulation, densities, UFT.

Material on probable future events, most importantly the Wave, a possible point of transition between densities, possibly allowing the 'graduation' of a portion of humanity to 4th density. The 'lessons of 3rd density' are discussed in this context.

The core of the practical advice given by the Cassiopaea source consists of networking, study and developing objectivity. Only by learning the lessons at hand can one advance. There are notable parallels between Cassiopaeans and other esoteric teachings, notably Sufism and the 4th Way. The Cassiopaea material has been brought to a larger context of esoteric teachings drawing on many sources and streams by Laura Knight Jadczyk. Thus the teaching of the QFS is not exclusively based on the Cassiopaea material although this is its initial impulse and platform.

The following extract is a concise motto for the Cassiopaea material:

'Life is religion. Life experiences reflect how one interacts with God. Those who are asleep are those of little faith in terms of their interaction with the creation. Some people think that the world exists for them to overcome or ignore or shut out. For those individuals, the worlds will cease. They will become exactly what they give to life. They will become merely a dream in the 'past.' People who pay strict attention to objective reality right and left, become the reality of the 'Future.' -- Cassiopaeans, 09-28-02
