Time, Patience And Channeling

Today, we would speak on time.  We would speak of time as that which on the Earth plane allows things to happen in a linear fashion. Because in this dimension, if there was not time, the vehicles your spirits inhabit and your processing software, so to speak, would not be able to handle the process, the unfolding of events and processes and experiences that you have scheduled for this lifetime.  

Those of us who would speak through you have what you would view in this dimension, patience.  We have wished for some time for you to reach this stage of development and confidence so that we could speak through you and not only you would hear, but you would pass the things we say to you and through you on to a larger audience than you have here.  Kevin, being available to help you, and Thorn, being available to help you was a crucial, crucial part in this.  You need contemporaries.  You need others who share similar experience in dealing with this realm. Those around you before then were not qualified for the task, so to speak. They had some interest, but did not hold the energies necessary for you to feel the confidence and safety to push past your limitations of this lifetime and to continue on this path.  

We, in this dimension, congratulate you on your progress.  We are quite pleased with the blog, and we wish it to continue.   We will bring those who would benefit from reading it at this time. We would help them to locate it and to read it.   And some, because of your work, will also find courage to channel  those such as ourselves who have messages that have not yet been heard. 

Please, do feel free to open and communicate with us on your projects, on your art, on your writing, on anything else you endeavor to do.  If we may be of service, we would be indeed pleased to be included in your creative process.  Up to this time, we have been there, but more in the background, waiting for you to come to the point of realizing the value of asking for our assistance.  There have been glimpses on your part of what  may occur as you become more open, as when you did the spirit drawings over the weekend, and we were pleased with that as well.  

The more you can open,  the more you can remember to open and put yourself in a position of  receiving the information we broadcast, the more we can learn to work together as a team. You and I, us and you.  We broadcast, you receive, and then you broadcast, either through direct voice or internet, and all, from us to you to the hearers and readers receive benefit as the result of this new link of communication you are allowing for.   

This process pleases us, and you, and listeners, and readers.  So please, endevor to enter into it more often.

Channeling the Antique Radio People

My history of channeling, in this lifetime, at least, began several years ago when my Reiki teacher put out an announcement that a person she knew who did full-body trance channeling was going to be presenting “An Evening of Trance Channeling” in her building. At the time, my only experience with spirit contact had been attending a workshop at the spiritualist church where the medium relayed messages she had received from spirit guides. I wasn't sure I was ready to be in the same room where a person was going to give up control of their body to a spirit. I didn’t even have a real opinion as to what I thought about such things. But still, I decided to attend.

It turned out to be the right decision. That evening, Kevin full-body trance channeled Wei Chi, a 5,000 year old shaman from Tibet that had played an important role in the development of the Reiki energy healing system. When Wei Chi was finished with his talk and asked for questions, I could not shake the feeling that I needed to ask him which past life was holding me back the most. I had no idea why I wanted to ask such a question, because at that time, I really did not have an interest in past lives. Without hesitation, Wei Chi told me about a lifetime in England in the late 1800s, where my aristocratic husband had me committed to an institution for the insane because I was trance channeling, and he felt it was too much of an embarrassment for a man in his position to have a wife that talked to spirits.

It felt like being hit with energetic shock wave. First, even though I did not recall that lifetime, or any other previous lifetimes for that matter, there was a feeling of recognition, of, “Oh my gosh, THAT’S what happened!” Plus, there was the shock of being told that I had actually been able to do this thing called channeling.

Before long, the “Evening of Trance Channeling” was over. But I heard that Kevin was coming back the next day to do private readings, and I decided to come back and see if he could tell me more about the person I was then, and hopefully gain some understanding of what it meant for me in this lifetime.

I only booked a 15-minute session, but came away with quite a bit of information. Kevin said that I had a strong history of channeling and being punished for it by the powers that be, and that I needed to have someone help me clear the energy of abuse from my cellular memory so I could let go enough to trance channel and do other psychic work to my full capacity in this lifetime. After that day, Kevin went back to his home in Washington state, and I continued my Reiki training and worked with the Reiki energy at every possible opportunity. I also did quite a bit of journaling about the person I was in the late 1800s, and all the ways that lifetime might be impacting me now.

Fast forward to 2006. I found out that Kevin had recently moved back to Maine, and decided it would be a good time to get another psychic reading from him.

But something much more important was about to happen. My spirit guides wanted to introduce themselves, and they were very excited to have a person coming into the area that could handle their energy and help communicate what they wanted me to know.

On a day in early October, I was walking from my apartment to my Reiki office downtown to meet with Kevin and have a psychic reading. That’s when I came across a most unusual item -- a huge, pre-WWII shortwave radio sitting across from my apartment, in the middle of Coe Park! Even though I didn’t have a lot of extra time, I had to take a few minutes and look it over. The wooden cabinet was in rough shape and boards were nailed over the speaker. And there was a large hole in the side of it, like something had broken through from the inside out.

When Kevin arrived, he asked if there was anything I wanted to talk to him about before we got started. When I started telling him about the radio, he suddenly had an expression of shock, like someone had switched on a “boom box” at full volume in a quiet room. “What?!!!” he said. When I started to repeat my last sentence, he said, “No, not that.....who ARE these people?”

“People?” I asked. “What people?”

“THESE people.....they’re all talking at the same time and it sounds almost like Ascended Masters’ language!” he said.

When I told Kevin I had no idea who the “people” were, he said “Well, they must be yours because I’ve never talked to any of them before!” After a few minutes, he was able to convince them to say it in English and talk one at a time so he could give me their names – Vickera, Sharinia, Marqua, Biblalon, and Hestoria/Hestorious -- and relay the messages. It turns out they were five spirit beings that function as an energy group – two are female, two male, and one androgynous that can speak with the voice of a man or a woman.

While they didn’t say why or how they brought that old shortwave radio and put it on my path through the park, the idea of a radio, especially a shortwave radio, has everything to do with the idea of channeling. Radios pick up signals-- electromagnetic impulses-- that normally can’t be heard as they travel through the atmosphere, and through their components. And radios “channel” messages that are broadcast from miles away and allow them to come through their speaker as a voice or sound anyone can hear and understand. To me, a shortwave, or international band radio, represents the idea of channeling even more than an AM or FM radio, because few people in our society know that shortwave radio stations from all around the world are “on the air” and can be easily heard if you have the right equipment and know how to tune them in. Those spirits knew exactly what they were doing.

As I grew to accept the possibility of channeling in this lifetime, the spirit team kept things interesting by manifesting items that related to things that were going on in my life, and putting them where I would be sure and notice. Nothing as large as that huge antique radio, but I still got the message. And when I came to the point of attempting to verbally channel, they brought their energy in with such intensity that I and a friend that had been a medium in the spiritualist church for years (and was sitting at the same table), could hardly breathe. That was certainly different than any “first channeling experiences” I had read about in books, but these spirits, I've learned, can be VERY enthusiastic. But now that they've had a chance to settle down, it feels more like a blending of energies than anything else when I invite them to come and channel.

These spirit guides also have quite an unusual sense of humor, and enjoy playing the occasional joke on people that are inflexible or take themselves too seriously. One example of this happened when I was attending Pagan Pride Day last summer, and went to a workshop that was advertised to be about communicating with spirits. But when it was time for questions, the presenter made it very clear that he was only willing to talk about spirits of recently departed family members, not higher plane spirit guides like the ones I wanted to communicate with. Before long, he started to get a very annoyed look on his face. He said “I don't know why this is happening, but I see the spirit of a woman in a bright red dress dancing all around the room to show tunes, and it's really bothering me. I wish she'd stop!” By that time, I'd had enough experience with my team of spirit friends to know it was most likely one of them having a bit of fun.

So far, most of the messages my spirit guides have spoken through me/ to me have to do with my personal path of spiritual growth, why I needed to meet someone like Kevin who was very comfortable with the energy of trance channeling in order to open up to it myself, and how happy they are that I have chosen to allow this process to continue. While they have only spoken through me for 10 or 15 minutes at a time so far, and I have not yet been able to go into deep trance, I feel that I am gradually becoming more able to allow spirit energy to flow through me.

From what I've read about all this, it usually takes time for a person's energy field to adjust to their spirit guide's energy, and as time goes on, the communication process becomes easier and easier. As we continue to work together, I hope to learn more about who they are, how I knew them in past lifetimes, and what our work will be about in this lifetime once I am able to channel them more effectively.

And the journey continues.......

The Rise of Radio and Spiritualism As A Collective Energy

The radio as a symbol of spirit communication is a symbol that many can comprehend, for radio and the messages it brings has been part of human culture for nearly a century. In the early years of radio, when radio was not nearly as common as it is today, the fact that signals could be received from great distances was a source of amazement. Many were astounded to know that words spoken in distant cities could be transferred by means of radio waves and the proper transmission and reception devices from one place to another.

It was a time when many were also interested in spiritualism and were astounded by the work of some mediums who could perform physical mediumship and transfigurations and table tapping and other means of helping the unseen and unheard world of spirit be seen and heard by those who did not have such well-tuned, well- functioning receivers, so to speak.

Those two events, the development of radio in its early days and the widespread acceptance of spiritualism were not by accident. They both came into the Earth plane with the intensity that was needed to help both gain wider understanding and acceptance. It was all about communication. Communication of energies from one place to another by means not understood at that time by the majority of humanity.

The pioneers in radio and the pioneers in spiritualism worked separately, for the most part, yet in many ways, their goals were similar. To bridge gaps in communication for the masses. So again, radio and spirit come together for the good of humanity, to help humanity understand that there is more in the Universe than what is commonly seen or heard.

There are many dimensions, and many frequency bands, and while science, through radio, explored this from one angle, the spiritualists did so from other angles, and there were those who were attracted to this new science of radio, and there were those who were attracted to spiritualist mediums who brought forth manifestations of spirit that had not been seen in modern times.

There have always been mediums and spiritualists, but the growth of spiritualism and the growth of radio together gave strength to both energies, and there were some, such as yourself, that took interest in both.

Both the communications that come through electrons and radios and transmission towers, and those who used their own vehicle, their own body, so to speak, as a radio to receive communications from other dimensions and other entities and other spirits and to be spoken through and to have transfiguration manifest and table tapping, and in your case, have antique radios appear in the park. Though they may seem to different, they are so similar.

We leave you with this for now, and thank you for your role that you play in transferring our message from Spirit to voice, to digital form, and through the internet.

(Author's note: After doing this channeling, I researched the involvement of scientists in the early 1900s in spiritualism, and found this interesting article on the BBC website http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/4185356.stm

The Symbolism of Radios - Channeled On April 7, 2011

Radios have always been a theme to you in this lifetime.  For it brings us ways of helping you connect between our dimension and yours.  It makes it easier to comprehend, for you, even as a small child, have listened with full awareness, of how broadcasts from one part of the world can be heard in another merely by having the correct devices in both ends of the circuit,  so to speak.  It is not hard wired, except locally.  Yet, a very precise set of circuitry is required, both for the transmission and reception of the signal.  

And so it is with messages from Spirit.  While one person's receiver may hardly work at all, and not even be aware that signals are available to be received, others have very good receivers that can pick up signals that most radios do not have the capability for.  Your attraction to radios was not accidental. While, yes, you enjoyed listening to programing and DXing and collecting QSL cards, evidence of your reception, you knew that beyond that, there was a process by which signals were transmitted, and signals came through the atmosphere, and in many cases, used the atmosphere as a way to bounce from one point to another through the ionosphere.  As you know that, it influences our to work with you, our ability to connect, to make connections between our circuitry an yours.  

Many, many stations are broadcasting.  Many signals are being put out.  Everything from radio programming, to phone calls, to police calls, scanner frequencies, as well as many others, television stations, walkie-talkies.  There are so many voices and signals in the air.  Some for many, and some for few.  Some signals reach millions, such as radio and TV broadcasting, but others, such as cell phone conversations, reach only those for whom it is intended.  The signal is kept in a narrower distribution.  Also internet signals, when run through satellite, in parts of when world where the hard circuitry for internet communication does not exist, move through the airwaves.

The truth of the matter is, the world around you is full of signals, and there are other signals besides our own that you will learn to intercept and interact with and channel.  We are here for you to help facilitate this process, and we will continue to be here once others also are brought in to your circuitry's comprehension.  

We endeavor to help, to assist in the process of bringing those whom would benefit from messages that we and other will transmit through you.We endeavor to bring those into your circle for your own interactions, as well as ours.  And when the audience grows, the messages will be more for wider audiences than just for small audiences.  It will be more like radio broadcast distribution.  And others will be helped  by this, others will be assisted.
