Lee Carroll is an American channeller, speaker and author. In his books he says that rather than going into a trance and becoming a passive medium for another entity to use to communicate, he acts as "an interpreter", remaining conscious and using his own mind to convey what he receives from the "other side".
Carroll has authored twelve books on channellings from Kryon, and co-authored three books on what he terms Indigo children, a new generation of children he says represents an evolution in human consciousness.[1]

Originally an audio engineer,[2] Carroll says in his books that he began to channel communication with an entity from "beyond the veil" called Kryon in 1989. In his early books Kryon is presented as an entity from the "magnetic service", who supposedly is responsible for reconstruction of the magnetic grid of the Earth, which reconstruction is necessary in view of the changing spirituality and new evolutionary tasks of Humanity. In later books Lee Carroll describes Kryon as an angelic loving entity from the Source (or "Central Sun") who has been with the Earth "since the beginning" and belongs to the same "Family" of Archangel Michael. The context of using the words "angelic", "archangel" and others is, however, a New Age one, while traditional interpretations of these terms are reevaluated and some connotations are expanded to much broader metaphilosophical and pan-spiritual meaning. He claims the information he publishes, both printed and online, is intended to help humans "ascend to a higher vibrational level", which, according to his books, is synonymous to overall mental, spiritual and physical evolution.[3]
In his books Carroll also provides descriptions of the nature of the channeling process (both his own and that of other channelers, mediums, and clairvoyants), according to which, no channeler is able to convey the received information perfectly, due to the very nature of such information. Carroll says channeled information can not be adequately translated into the notions of the time-space conditioned reality, which surrounds us. Hence, any channeling converted into words or text should not be taken literally, but rather serve as a help to tune one's subtle energy perception to the original message (which is transcendental to ordinary reality). Based on the above, Carroll dismisses many logical inconsistencies spotted both in his and other mediums' messages.
Carroll's Kryon series elaborated a number of popular New Age concepts. Amongst them are: co-creating, a spiritual contract, karmic imprint, karmic implant, magnetic layers (strands) of human DNA, karmic groups etc.
Another topic touched in many of his books is the 2012 transition. According to Lee Carroll, Kryon's message is that 2012 transition is going to happen on the level of sub-conscious, archetypal energy and open up new avenues to the Humanity's collective mind.
According to Carroll, Kryon's messages about Earth include, among others, the Earth being a living entity with an individual consciousness, who cooperates with the Humans. The relationship between the Earth and Humans is elaborated based on the "magnetic field" interactions.
Throughout the whole Kryon series the concept of Reincarnation is much spoken about. Many of "Kryon's messages" include subtle details on the mechanics of it, the value and purpose of human life and death etc., which are philosophically consonant with the Dharmic approaches common in Buddhism and Hinduism. The books are, however, written from a Westerner's perspective, and no direct references to the Eastern sources are made, while the Christian and Bible-based spiritual mysticism is present in the wording and expressive style.
According to Hay House, Carroll's publisher, he has sold over half a million books translated into 14 languages. [2]. According to American journalist and filmmaker David Thomas' book Tuning In: A Journalist, 6 Trance Channelers and Messages from the Other Side, by 2011 Lee Carroll's book sales were over one million, and he is the most famous channeler amongst those discussed in his book.[4] As stated by the French Publishing House Les Éditions Ariane, Lee Carroll's presentations in multiple countries had gathered crowds up to 3000 persons.[5]
A chapter is dedicated to Lee Carroll and his Kryon channelings in a book by American journalist and film director David Thomas and Matthiew Klinck titled Tuning In: A Journalist, 6 Trance Channelers and Messages from the Other Side.[6] Carroll's Kryon channelings are also discussed in a 2008 documentary "Tuning In"[7][8]
A Spanish journalist, author, and Secretary of the Board of humanitarian organization Fundación Ananta[9], Koldo Aldai discusses Lee Carroll's work and Kryon's messages in his 2004 book "Testigos de un nuevo tiempo : conversaciones con Lee Carroll (Kryon), Miyo, José Argüelles...", where he speaks about the interviews and talks with visionaries, channelers and other representatives of new spiritual ideas of the New Time, as he calls it.[10]
A German yogin and medium Aloka Nama Ba Hal, who was the Yoga teacher of Russian president Dmitry Medvedev[11][12], discusses and analyzes Kryon's messages in much detail in his two German books.[13][14]
Kryon's messages are discussed by several other authors publishing in German, including Denis Kolovrat, Barbara Bessen, Silvia Tara Glaser, Patrizia Pfister, Mara Ordemann, E. D. Donec, and others.[15][16][17][18][19]
Authors publishing on the subject in other languages include Martine Vallée and others.[20][21].
Starting from 2002, some of the French media, like Sud-Ouest, fr:Le Monde de l'éducation, Le Canard enchaîné, Le Nouvel Observateur, M6, and France 2 have presented the activities of Lee Carroll in critical light. In Le Canard Enchaîné article, e.g., seeming logical contradictions are shown in the different messages attributed to Kryon by Lee Carroll: "Tout pétri d'amour et de paix qu'il est, Kryeon sait quand même se faire respecter : ainsi il a révélé à Lee Carrol qu'il était déjà intervenu deux fois sur Terre pour procéder à "un ajustement global" : à chaque fois l'humanité s'est éteinte et seuls quelques spécimens ont survécu pour assurer la continuité de l'espèce."[22] Other publications criticize the EMF balancing technique merchandised by associates of Kryon movement, as well as the ideas expressed about the new generation of children, called indigo children.[23][24][25][26][27][28]
Kryon movement, Lee Carroll and his books have been mentioned in several published official notes by CIAOSN (Centre d'information et d'avis sur les organisations sectaires nuisibles (Centre for Information and Advice on Harmful Sectarian Organizations), which was created following the recommendation of the Royal Commission (House of Representatives, session 1996-1997) of Belgium.[29]
