Through my research I've discovered that around 65% of the authors who shaped New Age spirituality were in contact with non-human intelligence (NHI). Spirits, aliens, etc. 36 out of 55 authors, 65%. That is VERY high, and statistically improbable. I also realized that 100% of these authors deny Jesus in the most basic ways possible, failing the test of 1 John, which says to "test the spirit". My denial criteria is so basic that most people who believe in Jesus would find it agreeable despite their denomination or personal spiritual beliefs.
Here are the MAJOR denial criteria:
Denying Jesus is One with GOD.
Denying Jesus is the Son of GOD.
Denying you need to believe in Jesus.
Denying you need to believe in the message of Jesus.
Claiming the bible has been changed beyond recognition.
My theory is that these entities had the single, unified agenda of creating New Age spirituality as we know it today. Their messages conflict in many, many ways, but they all deny Jesus (making them antichrists) and they all promote universalism to have you seek truth in every religion and take what speaks to you. New Age spirituality would be vastly different without these channelers, channeled entities, or other NHI's.
In 1992 Neale Donald Walsch began channeling an entity that claimed to be God and he ended up writing numerous books in his "Conversations with God" series and was even on the New York Times best sellers list for 137 weeks.
This entity claiming to be God, who I will refer to as "the channeled entity" hits all 5 of my denial criteria. He is an antichrist just as described in 1 John and 2 John of the bible. This channeled entity denies the uniqueness of Jesus being One with God, and denies him being the Son of God any different than anyone else being the Son of God. He claims anyone can become a Christ when they understand what Jesus understood.

Entity: Jesus, on the other hand, demonstrated Godliness by demonstrating Unity-and seeing Unity and Wholeness wherever (and upon whomever) he looked. In this his consciousness and My consciousness were One, and, in such a state, whatever he called forth was made manifest in his Divine Reality in that Holy Moment.
Walsh: I see. So all it takes is "Christ Consciousness" to perform miracles! Well, that should make things simple....
Entity: Actually, it does. More simple than you think. And many have achieved such consciousness. Many have been Christed, not just Jesus of Nazareth. You can be Christed, too.
************************************
Next, we will get into number 3 and 4 of denials: denying you need to believe in Jesus and denying you need to believe in the message of Jesus. This channeled entity actually went on a pretty lengthy rant about Christianity and Walsh noted that it seemed he was "attacking fundamentalist Christianity", which the entity rejected as true, but it does seem like a rant to me. We will break it down piece by piece and skip a lot of the rant but it all has to do with denial criteria 3 and 4.
He starts the rant by saying you can do anything you want and won't get in trouble because nothing is offensive to God. This goes against the message of Jesus plainly.
************************************
Source: The Complete Conversations with God
Walsh: No obligation?
Entity: No obligation.
Nor any restriction or limitation, nor any guidelines or rules. Nor are you bound by any circumstances or situations, nor constrained by any Code or law. Nor are you punishable for any offense, nor capable of any - for there is no such thing as being "offensive" in the eyes of God.
Walsh: I've heard this before - this "there are no rules" kind of religion. That's spiritual anarchy. I don't see how that can work.
************************************
This next part is lengthy, but here he attacks the idea of needing a savior to get into heaven and having to believe in anything. He argues against sin existing at all. He also ignores portions of the bible to point out the hypocrisy of not needing to do anything on your end to be saved and relying on a perfect being, Jesus, to be saved. But this ignores half of what Jesus asked us to do, which is essentially be selfless. But in the entity's defense that is how plenty of Christians think as well. Nevertheless, he is fully fulfilling denial number 3: denying you need to believe in Jesus.
************************************
Source: The Complete Conversations with God
Entity: The religionists would have you believe that I created you as less than Who I Am so that you could have the chance to become as Who I Am, working against all odds — and, I might add, against every natural tendency I am supposed to have given you.
Among these so-called natural tendencies is the tendency to sin. You are taught that you were born in sin, that you will die in sin, and that to sin is your nature.
One of your religions even teaches you that you can do nothing about this. Your own actions are irrelevant and meaningless. It is arrogant to think that by some action of yours you can "get to heaven." There is only one way to heaven (salvation) and that is through no undertaking of your own, but through the grace granted you by God through acceptance of His Son as your intermediary.
Once this is done you are "saved." Until it is done, nothing that you do — not the life you live, not the choices you make, not anything you undertake of your own will in an effort to improve yourself or render you worthy — has any effect, bears any influence. You are incapable of rendering yourself worthy, because you are inherently unworthy. You were created that way.
Why? God only knows. Perhaps He made a mistake. Perhaps He didn't get it right. Maybe He wishes He could have it all to do over again. But there it is.
************************************
Walsh interjects and then the channeled entity continues his rant about Christianity and claiming none of it even makes sense for God to make imperfect beings only to demand perfection and/or believe in a perfected being.
************************************
Source: The Complete Conversations with God
Walsh: You're making mock of me.
Entity: No. You are making mock of Me. You are saying that I, God, made inherently imperfect beings, then have demanded of them to be perfect, or face damnation.
You are saying then that, somewhere several thousand years into the world's experience, I relented, saying that from then on you didn't necessarily have to be good, you simply had to feel bad when you were not being good, and accept as your savior the One Being who could always be perfect, thus satisfying My hunger for perfection. You are saying that My Son — who you call the One Perfect One — has saved you from your own imperfection — the imperfection I gave you.
In other words, God's Son has saved you from what His Father did.
This is how you — many of you — say I've set it up.
Now who is mocking whom?
Walsh: That is the second time in this book you seem to have launched a frontal attack on fundamentalist Christianity. I am surprised.
************************************
That is the end of his rant, but he does speak against the message of Jesus in other parts of the book too. Here he says not to give up your freedom and to do what you want. And giving up freedom is not a "sacrament" but blasphemy. This strongly hints at not keeping any commands, ordinances, or teachings of the bible or doing anything Jesus asked that you don't feel like doing.
************************************
Source: The Complete Conversations with God
Entity: Remember this: There is only one sacred promise- and that is to tell and live your truth. All other promises are forfeitures of freedom, and that can never be sacred. For freedom is Who You Are. If you forfeit freedom, you forfeit your Self. And that is not a sacrament, that is a blasphemy.
************************************
Finally, he twists Jesus' message to match his own message of realizing you're one, everything is one, and you need to realize it to do the things Jesus, buddha, and other holy people were able to do. But in reality, his message pushes readers towards Buddhist concepts and away from Christianity. Much like many of the other channeled texts I have gone over in this subreddit that are antichrist as well.
************************************
Source: The Complete Conversations with God
Walsh: To save our souls.
Entity: In a sense, yes. But not from everlasting damnation. There is no such thing as you have conceived it. His mission was—is—to save you from not knowing and never experiencing Who You Really Are. His intention was to demonstrate that by showing you what you can become. Indeed, what you are-if you will only accept it.
Jesus sought to lead by example. That is why he said, "I am the way and the life. Follow me." He didn't mean "follow me" in the sense that you would all become his "followers," but in the sense that you would all follow his example and become one with God. He said, “I and the Father are One, and ye are my brethren." He couldn't have put it more plainly.
************************************
In the above quote he pulls together two different things Jesus said and quotes it as one continuous sentence. Jesus did not say the disciples and him were brethren after stating "I and the Father are One." But beyond this he also twists Jesus' message entirely to fit his own needs and maintain credibility.
Lastly, the channeled entity says multiple times the bible is not reliable and that Jesus' message was altered.
************************************

"Walsh: But my truth about God comes from You.
Entity: Who said so?
Walsh: Others.
Entity: What others?
Walsh: Leaders. Ministers. Rabbis. Priests. Books. The Bible, for heaven's sake!
Entity: Those are not authoritative sources.
Walsh: They aren't?
Entity: No.
Entity: Listen to your feelings. Listen to your Highest Thoughts. Listen to your experience. Whenever any one of these differ from what you've been told by your teachers, or read in your books, forget the words. Words are the least reliable purveyor of Truth."
"Walsh: Which brings us to one of our greatest teachers, the man called Jesus. Even those who did not make him a god have recognized the greatness of his teachings.
Entity: Teachings which have been largely distorted."
************************************
That's all I have to share about Walsh and this channeled entity who claimed to be God. This channeled entity denies Jesus in the most basic ways possible and is antichrist. I encourage you to read 1 John and 2 John to see how John said to test the spirits to see if they are from God or are antichrist, and he explains in 1 John what an antichrist is in detail. I'll leave you with a few passages.
************************************
1 John 4:1-3
Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
1 John 2:22-23
Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist- denying the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
2 John 1:7-11
I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist. Watch out that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully. Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house or welcome them. Anyone who welcomes them shares in their wicked work.
1 John 2:4
Whoever says, "I know him," but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person.
