What Pleidian Masters have to say about “Hearsay”

As transcribed by Janie J from Pleiadians as part of an upcoming book.

Today we’ll discuss hearsay and the proper way to handle it. We (meaning all humans) do this. It can be a good thing or a not-so-good thing.

Hearsay is when you hear a story, event or situation and you repeat it to another, often embellishing it or exaggerating the event in an attempt to make the story-telling more interesting. The person may or may not realize just how dangerous this practice can be, so we want to shed some light upon this process.

Often the person who originates the statement doesn’t have the full facts about the event. Remember they are only relating the event through their eyes, often without considering other related factors. You could say their view is somewhat tainted. They aren’t doing this on purpose. It’s just their point of view.

The person who hears their recantation most likely will put their own spin on the event, adding or emphasizing the portion of the story most meaningful to them. For instance, if the event includes a small part about bees and they are deathly afraid or allergic to bees, then that part of the story gains emphasis or importance. To the original storyteller, bees are merely a side fact of little importance.

Do you see how one’s perception of an event just naturally shapes the story? Do you see how stories can become exaggerated, even to the point of being totally false? This is the quandary of hearsay.

That is not to say that hearsay is not important or has no value, for it certainly does. Think about the situation in early life on Earth. People would naturally want to warn others in their tribe about upcoming dangers like wild animals or treacherous terrain.

In times of cowboys and Indians one person known as the scout would ride ahead and return to the pack with news of any dangers. One would refer to this transfer of knowledge as hearsay.

Now let’s say the scout returned to his group with news of an upcoming danger. Then the leader would decide perhaps a new course of action, depending on the knowledge presented. You can only imagine if the hearsay data were not accurate, how the actions of the group could be too severe or not severe enough.

Visions come to mind of the following two scenarios. When the scout returns to say, “Indians are among us!” Perhaps it’s only a squaw woman with her children gathering berries (who can easily be avoided) in contrast to a full battalion of warrior-ready men. Quite a difference!
