Interview
with Lyssa Royal internationally known channel: November 1998
Channeling
is the process of receiving information or inspiration from realms
beyond our physical reality.
There are many forms of channeling
such as vocal trance channeling and divination (using tools such
as tarot or runes). Even the simplest form of creativity can
be considered channeling such as music composition, dance and
movement, and artistic endeavors.
The
specific source of channeled inspiration is not nearly as significant
as the essence of the gift brought through to this reality. From
where does channeling come? Most people have heard of the process
of channeling spirit guides, angels, extraterrestrials and ascended
masters. But perhaps the most important aspect of channeling
is each person's ability to connect with his or her own unique
spiritual energy, that of the Higher Self. Without that ability,
the process of connecting with spirit guides may seem two-dimensional
or shallow. As we develop our relationship with our own Higher
Selves (thus committing to the process of our personal growth)
the universe comes alive with consciousness that helps us learn
about the wonders of God's universe.
This
article is taken from an interview with Lyssa Royal on the subject
of channeling and its connection with the Higher Self. Many subjects
are discussed but an overall theme is explored, that the channeling
process can only be as clear as the channel.
To
achieve clarity a channel must commit herself to a journey of
intense personal growth and discovery. It is important to remember
that each channel is unique. Just like musical styles, a channel
and his/her guide learn to create a symphony of ideas and experiences
for the listener. Every channel has his or her own style. If
you are seeking a channel, it is suggested that you participate
in several styles of channeling until you find one that inspires
joy and awakening in your heart.
Q:
How did you become a channel, and what kind of training did
you go through? Please be specific about your training.
It
seems like the circumstances in my life guided me to learn the
skills that I needed to learn to become a channel long before
I even knew what channeling was. In 1979 I had a UFO sighting
with my family in New Hampshire. Though I had been interested
in psychic phenomenon before that experience, the UFO sighting
really accelerated my interest in paranormal subjects. I was
in college at the time. Shortly after that I was studying hypnosis
in college and learned to place myself in an altered state of
consciousness, mostly for stress management. Those early situations
(the UFO sighting and learning to put myself in an altered state
of consciousness) helped to lay the foundation for what happened
later.
In
1984 I began to see a channel named Darryl Anka who channels
Bashar. The channelings by Bashar had a very profound impact
in my life. During that time I had a dream in which an entity
materialized and touched all of my chakras. The entity said to
me, "You will be a channel." That experience both scared and
excited me. I immediately went to Bashar and asked him what this
was all about and what I could do to develop my channeling. Bashar
actually recommended a channeling class that he knew of in Los
Angeles that was just beginning. I called the teacher and it
turned out that there was only one opening left. The class began
a month or two after my initial phone call. During the interim
I felt like I wanted to continue to learn about channeling before
the class began. An exciting process began happening. I began
to feel the presence of other entities and a lot of energy around
me. I would go into that self-hypnotic state that I had taught
myself years before and the spirit guides began teaching me the
early stages of channeling. They would blend their energy with
mine, move my hands and head, and they would exercise my vocal
chords so I could feel what it was like to speak with a new energy
in my vocal chords. That really got me ready for the class.
Q:
So the channeling began even before you took the class?
That
is true, yes. I was channeling already before I began the class,
but I felt that I needed some type of formal guidance. It is
a very frightening experience to be opening to something like
channeling without assistance. I entered the class in January
1985 and I studied with five other individuals once a week with
the teacher for about 4-5 hours. Then we met independently without
the teacher once or twice per week for about 4 hours. The class
itself taught a wide range of approaches to channeling, all of
which are very important aspects of the channeling experience.
One
area that was stressed was the area of Personal Growth, which
is what I focus on now when I teach channeling. This aspect is
important because it is what allows a channel to be clear. If
a channel processes his/her own fears, issues, and blockages,
then they become clear as a person and thus will become clear
as a channel. (A channel who is not clear, loving, and nonjudgmental
in life will not be a clear, loving, and nonjudgmental channel.)
We also did a lot of work having to do with the subconscious.
There were a lot of guided meditations that were for the purpose
of releasing blocked energy that resides in the subconscious.
This energy is expressed through an archetypal language understood
mostly by the subconscious and unconscious aspects of ourselves.
This includes the areas of fear, love, judgment, and the integration
of polarity (whether it be male/female or dark/light).
There
were many lessons having to do with the blending of spiritual
energy with ourselves in human form and the expression of that
energy through speech, movement, or music (depending upon the
individual channel's talents). A lot of focus was placed on the
Higher Self and how everything we need can be accessed within
us without even having to work with entities outside of ourselves.
We also did basic work having to do with the development of our
psychic abilities and the stimulation of our chakra (energy center)
energy. We worked on divination using tools such as tarot cards,
runes, etc. Our lessons were comprised of a whole mixture of
teachings designed to shape us into flexible and clear channels.
Q:
So this was some serious study?
Yes.
Even late in the year we accelerated our class time and spent
even more time practicing. We were very dedicated.
Q:
Eventually you began to work with the entities Germane and
Sasha. Before they appeared, what other entities were guiding
you? Were they with you only to help you learn to channel?
The
very first entities I began channeling (who came through before
the class began) were a mixture. The first one I remember was
a Chinese philosopher named Kwan. The entity Ra came through
also. There were quite a few. I don't remember them all. The
first entity that stayed with me and helped me develop as a channel
called herself Raydia. I channeled her for three years. She was
the entity that my Los Angeles clientele knew the most. I became
known first for channeling Raydia. The whole time I lived in
Los Angeles and I was channeling publicly, I was channeling Raydia,
along with several others.
Q:
What was Raydia like?
She
is a female version of the guide I work with now named Germane.
Just before I left Los Angeles [in 1988] and moved to Arizona
she did her last channeling. She said to the group, "You will
never see me in this form again." I had no idea what that meant.
Eventually she integrated herself into Germane. Like Germane,
she was a collective consciousness, but had a strong affiliation
with the star Arcturus. Germane has many different aspects to
him, but Raydia was very heart-centered and strongly affiliated
with Arcturus. I also channeled an entity called "the One" at
that time, who had a strong connection to the energy being worshipped
by Ahkenaton in his attempt to introduce monotheism in Egypt.
Q:
You mentioned an entity named "Ra". Was that the same entity
mentioned by the Egyptians?
It
is not the same entity as the one discussed in the later dynasties
of Egypt. The original Ra evolved into something else later in
the mind of the later Egyptians. Ra was another collective. Once
I moved to Arizona, everything changed. Surprisingly, I began
to channel Merlin. He was very enigmatic and kept telling us
that he was just a temporary guide and that he was getting me
prepared for a new frequency. About six months later, Germane
appeared. He was very hard to channel at first, and had a bothersome
accent. I begged him to work with me so that the accent could
be dropped. He said the accent had something to do with the way
his energy interfaced with my speech centers. It took a few years,
but eventually the accent was lessened. Now it is just slightly
perceptible. For people who have listened to my tapes since 1989,
they will notice that the accent diminishes after about 4 years.
This is indeed a long process!
Q:
Could you tell us how contemporary channeling developed in
America?
In
the late 1800s the spiritualist movement in both Europe and America
increased. The interest in mediumship strengthened. Back then,
it mostly focused on channeling the entities who had died --
deceased spirits who return to give information. In the 1950s
there was a surge of channeling from supposed extraterrestrial
sources. One channel named George Van Tassel was a real pioneer
in terms of ET channeling. At that time, it was very simplistic
channeling but quite profound for the listeners. I would say
that the main influence for many of today's contemporary channels
would have to be Jane Roberts who channeled Seth. She began channeling
in the 1960s but her material wasn't well known until the 70s
and then it experienced another surge in the 1980s. Her material
is very intellectual and deals with the nature of reality as
well as our connection with God, reincarnation, etc. It comes
from a very well-balanced and well-rounded perspective. I feel
she is the pioneer of modern day channeling in America. In the
1980s another channel influenced channeling called J.Z. Knight
who channels Ramtha. Unfortunately, her channeling style is very
dramatic and there has been controversy around her. So, when
channeling became popular in the 1980s and the media got a hold
of it, J.Z. Knight was the one everyone focused on. The media
portrayed her in a very bad light which influenced the way the
world perceived channeling. Shirley Maclaine wrote about her
as well. Channeling was distorted by the media immensely in the
1980s. Even J.Z. Knight's material was distorted by the media.
Another channel that influenced us in the 1980s was Kevin Ryerson
who was also popularized by Shirley Maclaine. But, he did not
get as much negative press as J.Z. Knight. Right now, everyone
involved in metaphysics or self-help pretty much knows what channeling
is (but their true understanding of it is most likely inaccurate).
Therapists are now using channeling in their practices. However,
I still find that unless someone has experienced channeling firsthand
and have had a good experience, they still do not understand
what it is and judge it from a place of being misinformed.
Q:
Isn't Edgar Cayce well known as well? Is he considered a channel
also?
I
forgot to mention him! I'm sorry about that. Edgar Cayce influenced
American channeling a bit, but he is extremely unique. His material
could be corroborated and often was validated, whether it was
prophecy or medical remedies. His channeling wasn't known necessarily
for philosophy and spirituality as it was for practical, down-to-earth
information. He has done a wonderful service for channeling.
Q:
Is there a hierarchy among the entities who are channeled?
You
will get a different answer to this question depending upon who
you ask. I will preface this by saying that this is my opinion,
but I do believe it is true. For those of us in the physical
plane, reality is linear. We always need to put things in a hierarchy
in order to understand them. This is even reflected in our corporate
structure. From the spiritual realms, the entities tell me that
there is no hierarchy. The entities all view each other as equal,
but perhaps with different areas of expertise. So the most common
labels for the different types of entities channeled in America
would be the following: Extraterrestrials, Angels, Ascended Masters,
Spirit Guides who have lived lives on Earth and who have passed
on, Collective Group Consciousness, Light Beings, Nature Spirits,
etc. I have found that channels who are very good and clear do
not channel about the concept of hierarchy. Some channels who
are not as clear or developed might tend to focus on the idea
of a hierarchy or on forms of separation. Each entity has their
area of expertise that is reflected in the type of information
that they bring through.
Q:
Channeling has existed for centuries but has taken on different
styles. Why do you think that the popularity of channeling
has risen in conjunction with the growth of the New Age movement?
I
think there are several reasons. One has to do with species evolution.
If you look at human history there is always a resurgence of
paranormal interest at the end of a millennium. This is both
positive and negative. The negative is that there is a resurgence
in apocalyptic prophecy. The positive is that there is a spiritual
revival in one way or another. The boom of the New Age movement
at the end of the 20th century falls in line with historical
trends. Also, we are living in an increasingly technological
world that is leading us away from nature and our connection
to the universe. I think people are trying to fill a need to
feel connected again. Connection is our natural state of existence!
People are looking for any activity or philosophy that can make
them feel that connection. Channeling is providing a service,
but it is certainly not the only way for people to make that
connection.
Q:
Do you think also that this resurgence in channeling is connected
to the transition that many people feel we are now experiencing?
I
think it is connected with the transition. If what is being channeled
is true, that the vibration or energy of the planet is accelerating
and that we are transforming ourselves in response to this acceleration,
then it seems only natural that we will make use of the brain's
capacity more than we have in the past. There is now some research
about what happens in the brain to one who is channeling. However,
this research is not complete. Channeling is indeed connected
to this transformation because the transformation is causing
us to want to reach out and expand our potential, especially
in the areas of thought and consciousness. Channeling is one
way to do that.
Q:
It is amazing that no one is doing serious research into channeling.
I
think there has been some research done, especially at UCLA.
The research that I am familiar with was done by Ph.D.s. One
doctor studied the psychological changes in those who are developing
as channels. She wrote a dissertation on her findings. [The late
Dr. Margo Chandley.] There are also brain wave studies in which
channels have been hooked up to EEG machines. [These are not
released to the public yet.] When channels go into the channeling
state and begin channeling an entity, all the brain waves peak.
For instance, when we are awake in normal life, only the beta
brain waves peak. It seems that channeling uses more of the brain
because all the brain waves peak. The brain becomes more active.
This is exciting because it may confirm the idea that, in fact,
channeling is expanding the human potential. Does this mean that
everyone needs to learn to channel to expand their brain capacity?
No, I don't think so. If the theories about the morphogenetic
field are correct, there will only need to be a certain number
of channels to reach critical mass. At critical mass, the brain
evolution will be passed to the majority of the species, thus
creating an evolutionary leap.
Q:
From your experience as a channel since 1985, do you find any
similarity in the messages that are being channeled?
There
is definitely a similarity in the messages. It seems like each
channel has their own area of expertise, but the overall message
is the same. These basic messages include the following ideas:
1)
We are all the creators of our own realities, and reality is
created through our thoughts and emotions.
2)
We are part of a galactic family of which we are not yet totally
conscious. Beings of immense diversity have visited and continue
to visit us whether in physical form (such as UFOs) or on the
spiritual levels (such as angels).
3)
There is a transformation happening that called different names
by different teachers. This is a real, tangible event
4)
We all have our connection to God within us and need not worship
something external to us. We are all a part of God and need no
one outside of ourselves to serve as a "cosmic messenger" no
priest, no church, no guru, and certainly no trance channel!
Q:
You often mention that channeling is a process of cooperation
between the spirit guides and the channel. What do you mean
by that?
What
determines the quality of a channel? In old school mediumship,
the mediums were just vehicles for the spirit's messages. Often
the medium would enter a sleep state and not be present for the
relaying of the message. When the entity would leave, the channel
would collapse from exhaustion. They would then have to recharge
themselves. It was a process of separation between a channel's
life and their spiritual work. In present day, channeling is
much more a cooperative effort between the channels and the entities.
Ultimately, I think this is healthier and a lot better for the
growth of the channel. Most channels now enter a semiconscious
state and don't surrender control to the entity. The entity can't
do anything that is against the moral code of the channel. The
channel enters a receptive state and allows the entity to do
the work. While the channeling happens, the channel benefits
also. They don't just go to sleep. They benefit and grow and
the energy channeled through somehow also transforms the channel
on very deep levels. The channel is in partnership with the entity,
so we as channels can say, "Your energy is too strong. Can you
please give me less?" The channel can make requests of the entity
and the entity is more than willing to comply. This is also extremely
important because as we see ourselves as equals to the channeled
entities and work in partnership with them, the idea of separation
is decreased.
Now
for the second part of your question. The aspects that determine
the quality of a channel might be surprising to some people.
One of the incorrect belief systems out there is that all "good" channels
must be unconscious while channeling so the mind does not get
in the way. However, I see far too many unconscious channels
who are unclear and their channeled information is judgmental
and, in some ways, hateful. What seems to determine the quality
of a channel is how much personal processing they have done in
their life. Have they worked on their fear and resistance, and
their fear of victimization? Have they learned to relinquish
judgment? If they have done work to become self-empowered, can
become humble, and are committed to their personal growth (even
if they have to see parts of themselves that they don't want
to see) then they can make very good, clear channels. It doesn't
matter whether a channel is unconscious, semiconscious, or conscious.
The state of the channel's heart, mind, and emotions is of utmost
importance.
Q:
So a channeled entity must use the vocabulary of the channel
and is limited by their humanness?
That
is correct. Whatever belief systems or discriminations that we
as humans have, they are encoded in our very cells. If a human
leaves his/her body and lets the entity fully merge into this
reality, the entity still has to use the channel's brain and
use the coding that is in the channel's cells in order to speak
and express. It is a biochemical process as much as it is a spiritual
one. The coding can act like a distortion mechanism. If you wear
glasses that are coated red, then everything you see will be
tinted red. The coding within us always "tints" or distorts the
energy coming from a spiritual source. Unless we learn to lessen
at distortion, it will always be distorted no matter whether
we are conscious or unconscious as channels.
Q:
So that can only be cleansed through the personal work?
For
the most part. In the research I've done during the last decade
the answer would have to be yes. The channel must be willing
to commit to their growth and work through their most challenging
issues in order to become clear.
Q:
Some people have the conception that once one learns to channel
and can access wisdom from other dimensions, all of one's problems
will be solved. They won't have to do anything except listen
to the advice. This belief isn't really correct, is it?
No.
Believe it or not, many of my students have had that assumption!
Some have believed that if they became channels that they would
never, ever have another problem in their lives! The entities
are not here to stop us from learning and growing. They are actually
here to stimulate our growth. They will always tell a channel
that they are here to be of service but that they are not here
to take away our problems. We must learn and grow, thus strengthening
ourselves as humans. These human challenges make us clearer channels.
If a student wishes to learn channeling because of that expectation,
they will find the process very difficult indeed.
Q:
As a very public channel since 1985, what do you feel are the
biggest misconceptions about channeling?
There
is a lot of discrimination that goes on regarding channeled material.
One of the biggest challenges has to do with general society.
Most of society understands what channeling is only through how
it is portrayed in the media. The media portrays it in an extremely
distorted way. Because the media likes to promote sensationalism
and tabloid journalism, they focus on the dramatics rather than
the actual information and the beautiful experiences that people
have had. The biggest distortion portrayed by the media is that
channels are in it for the money. I can tell you that I have
not gotten rich off of this, and I could be making more money
as a secretary, which is what I was doing before I was channeling!
Many people also believe that the people who channel are simply
crazy or have personality imbalances. The exact opposite is true!
I've been fortunate to have been very close to the research of
a Ph.D. who studied channels and found that, for the most part,
the healthy ones are very balanced people. These people usually
have higher education and are emotionally stable as well as having
a good relationship with physical reality. I would say that if
people would just take the time to do the research about what
channeling is before they make a judgment, they would come to
understand that it is something very different from their preconceived
notions. Of course, there are some unhealthy channels out there
which, unfortunately, makes it harder for other channels who
are committed to their personal growth and clarity.
Q:
How has channeling changed your life? How has it enriched your
life?
That
is a difficult question because since 1984 channeling has been
such an integral part of my life that I don't know what my life
would be like without it. I would say that when I started to
channel, I began to feel more in control of my life. I began
to feel that I created my reality and I had the power to create
a positive reality that I preferred. Any challenge that comes
up, I have the power to walk through it and learn from it. Channeling
has encouraged me to always learn from everything that I experience
and it has made me a lot more optimistic, probably more than
I ever could have been in this life if I wasn't a channel.
Q:
Do you get to benefit from channeling? How do you ask the entities
questions?
There
are several different ways. The easiest is for me to write the
question down and have someone else ask while I am channeling.
The area that I would like to improve in my own channeling is
in answering my own questions. Sometimes I put the question out
there to the universe and usually very shortly after that I get
the answer either through inspiration or through a life circumstance
that shows me the answer. At other times, the guidance comes
very clearly in the form of a "thought ball" that seems to drop
into my consciousness. Once I unravel this (like a ball of yarn)
the answer presents itself. I enjoy the process of learning the
answer rather than being told. Several times I have gotten answers
to questions easily, but if I wasn't ready to hear the answer,
it usually made no sense anyway. When you learn for yourself
(rather than being told), it is a lot more profound.
Q:
Channels have often said that they made an agreement to work
with their spirit guides before they incarnated in their current
life. Is this true for you?
I
don't know if I've made an agreement to do it so publicly, but
I do feel I've made an agreement to channel. One of the entities
that I work with now (Sasha) says she is a physical extraterrestrial
from the Pleiadian star system. When I was a child, my cousin
and I used to make a lot of jokes about being ETs. We used to
say we were from both the Pleiades and Orion. Even as a child
I had this connection and fascination with the stars, especially
the Pleiades.
I
had an experience when I first started to channel even before
I joined the class. I was in a sauna and I was relaxing. I heard
communication that said to me, "Are you ready?" It startled me
and I said, "Ready for what?" The voice said, "Are you ready
to do what you've agreed to do?" I don't know who sent this communication.
It was very clear that they were "calling my number" and it was
time for me to begin the work. It was frightening because it
put a lot of pressure on me! So yes, I do think I made an agreement
before I was born, but I don't know any of the specifics.
Q:
Could you describe the UFO experience you had in 1979 that
was your turning point?
My
father's house was in a rural area of New Hampshire. It was the
first snowfall of the season and I looked outside to see how
much snow had fallen. It was dark and I saw a very large ball
of light that looked like a miniature sun. I would say it was
about 500 yards away in the forest across the street. Perhaps
it was closer. It was hovering. Every once in a while it would
make some angular movements that no aircraft can make. It was
very overcast because it was snowing, so it had to be something
very close. When I called my family to the window, they witnessed
it as well. By the time they got to the window it began to release
something that looked like a teardrop of fire from it. It fell
toward the ground. When I opened the door I heard a very unusual
sound like a whine that started low in pitch and then went higher
in pitch and intensity until it disappeared. I was only 18 at
the time and I desperately wanted to go out into the forest to
see it. I had no fear at all. I was so excited. My father would
not let me go to investigate. There was no noise that would even
come close to a conventional aircraft. The area in which I grew
up, in New Hampshire, was known for its UFO activity. This really
left an impact on me.
Q:
Do you have any advice for anyone who wishes to develop their
channeling abilities?
The
number one thing that channeling will do for you is accelerate
your personal growth. So, be prepared! If you choose to develop
yourself as a channel, you will be transformed and you will become
a different person. The best possible reason to choose to be
a channel is to become a better person. If you choose that goal
and pursue it while using channeling as a tool, you will become
a very clear and good channel. I would not recommend that people
choose channeling in order to become a professional or to solve
all of life's problems, or for any other reason that is not one
of humble service. It must be a path of the heart. The path becomes
difficult for those whose main focus in not on their own growth.
This is because in order to become a good channel you must be
willing to look into the mirror of your soul and embrace even
the most horrific aspects of self. Not everyone is willing to
do this. Finally, at the risk of sounding like a school teacher
. . . if you are going to do it, you must practice, practice,
practice! That is the way you become clear. When you practice,
you will have periods of doubt. Continue to practice during those
periods of doubt because the doubt eventually fades. But you
have to have the will to get through those challenging periods.
Q:
People also have a misconception that channeling is just a
process of connection with entities and spirit guides. You
have emphasized often however that channeling spirit guides
is actually a byproduct of learning to connect with the Higher
Self, which is actually much more important. Could you elaborate
on this idea?
When
you focus on your personal growth and clear your blockages the
natural result is to make a connection with the Higher Self.
Once you make that connection with the Higher Self many doors
will open. The door to your creativity opens along with the door
to many hidden talents that you might not know you had. One of
these talents might be the talent to channel spirit guides. If
you choose to learn to channel spirit guides and focus only on
that and do not focus on your personal growth, it will be a difficult
road. If you choose the path of your Higher Self, then the door
to the universe opens widely before you. The Higher Self is,
simply, the part of us that we all have that connects with God.
It is our own individual Christ/Buddha consciousness that we
possess within us. It also represents the pinnacle of human potential.
That Higher Self exists for all of us and is the higher point
of view of life on Earth. From the point of view of the Higher
Self, our confusing world makes sense. When you make your own
intimate connection with the Higher Self, your life begins to
make sense.
Q:
What role does the Higher Self play when you channel other
entities?
Higher
Self is like a gatekeeper or a big cosmic switchboard. The HS
knows your path in any given life even when you don't know it
consciously. HS always guides and protects you and makes sure
that you move in the direction you need to move for your own
growth. When you are channeling another entity, the HS will be
the switchboard that brings in the entity or gives permission
to the entity to come through and communicate.
Q:
Is the Higher Self energy then blended with the spirit guide
who is speaking through you?
Yes.
The entity's energy is funneled through the Higher Self. I describe
the process as follows: I go into the altered state. The personality
I know of as Lyssa goes to sleep in the back sleep. My HS is
the driver of the car. The entity is a passenger in the front
seat. The HS drives the car and guides the channeling experience.
The entity is the navigator. It is a cooperative process between
the Higher Self and the entity. So, when the entity comes through,
it is blending of both.
Q:
What if two different channels channel the same energy? Will
the channeled entity have the same personality?
Yes,
but there may be subtle differences. I've channeled Bashar (who
is primarily channeled by Darryl Anka). The Bashar that comes
through me and the Bashar that comes through Darryl are noticeably
the same entity. However, the subtle aspects of the entity are
colored by either my Higher Self or Darryl's. There have been
interesting things that have happened. Darryl and I have both
channeled Bashar and channeled the same information within the
span of a couple of days, not knowing what came through the other
channel. There is indeed a sense of continuity between us.
Q:
Could you describe your unique form of channeling?
I
do a form of channeling that I call semiconscious channeling.
This means that I do go into an altered state, but I do not leave
my body. It feels like I am asleep and dreaming. My eyes are
usually closed, and my speech patterns slightly change. When
I awaken, I may or may not remember what was said. Sometimes
I have my own experiences or teachings given to me while the
guides are speaking to the audience. I usually only remember
about 50% of the material. If I do not discuss it after the session,
it fades from my memory much a like a dream would fade as we
busy ourselves with our daily lives. Before we close the interview
I would like to stress again that it doesn't matter whether a
channel chooses to do conscious, semiconscious, or unconscious
channeling. All forms can produce clear and profound channelings.
The most important key is the quality of the channel as a person
and as a vehicle. In choosing a channel, you must ask yourself
questions such as the following:
1)
What is the channel's personal life like? Does the channel walk
his talk?
2)
How clear is the channel in his/her waking state? Does he/she
create a lot of chaos in life or is the channel a relatively
balanced individual?
3)
Does the channel deal with the basics of 3D life on Earth easily
or is he/she seeking to escape from this reality?
4)
Is the channel or channeled entity subtly or blatantly telling
you that he/she has the only truth and that you must follow it
in order to be "saved"?
These
questions and more will open a window into the quality of the
channel and the channelings. Do not be afraid to use discernment
(rather than judgment) when looking for a channel who gives clear
and useful information. There are different styles for everyone.
Keep looking until you find the right channel for you. If you
approach channeling with an open heart and mind it can be amazingly
rewarding. Keep in mind that most channels are not providing
this service to prove anything. Since channeling cannot be "proven" it
is ridiculous to try to use it as a method of validation. Instead,
it is meant to be a spiritual service that leads an individual
back to the God within. In our distant past, channeling in its
many forms was a natural part of life practiced not only by shamans
and spiritual teachers but by anyone with a sincere desire to
connect with the greater part of themselves. Today's western
world has rigid and dogmatic scientific perspectives that leaves
many people feeling the void of spirituality within them. People
in increasing numbers are turning to their inner selves for guidance.
This quest will serve to strengthen the individual as a spiritual
being and, when practiced with humility and an open heart, will
always lead the seeker back Home.
