In keeping with what you wrote, " I'm (also) influenced most by what spirit teachers widely acknowledged as authoritative have taught us" as opposed to spirits who are generally not at that level of understanding. While the history of spiritualism is interesting to some degree in understanding others, its practical benefits are extremely limited (at least for me).
