The Art Of Channeling (Part 1 of 6)

Peshire has done two channeling classes before, but never like this. This is the first time that this has ever been done in such a concentrated fashion, so it's going to be interesting to see what happens. And I would, based on what I know, happened in the 10-week channeling class, which is simply once a week, he's going to obviously attempt to consolidate most of that. into about a five six-hour process so you're going to be flying so enjoy the ride I'll be doing some of it because there are things that are more germane for me to cover and take you through than Bashar but then he'll probably be doing a lot of it as well the first part of this before the first break is probably mostly what I will cover and we'll just sort of start out and and see how it goes so is everyone ready does anyone need to do anything here or get settled a little bit before we start or are we all we all set okay okay the first thing very quickly that I would like to do is just as an example sort of run over oh what where you okay well okay yeah there will be there will be a time both in the part that I'm covering and the part that also Bashar is doing for questions when that time comes like in a group session it might be nice to have the remote mic so that we can get everything clearly on the tape so that when everyone has the tape they can hear the entire conversation so when the cut time comes for questions then the mic will be passed around but before that let's just a very brief I usually do this at a lot of the sessions but I'm not exactly sure who's familiar with a lot of my background so I'm just very briefly by way of introduction going to recap how this all started actually for me and use it as an example to lead into what's going to happen here for all of you after I go over some points then it'll become a little bit more interactive because there'll be some things I want to find out from you in order to facilitate this a little bit better for you to make sure that you're getting what you need and want out of this But first of all, my experience began, as many of you know, about 23 years ago. I had two UFO sightings over Los Angeles that spurred me toward doing a lot of research in the metaphysical field. And eventually I ran across channeling. I was introduced to a channel. I was invited by the entity in that channel along with other people to attend a channeling class, which I went into not thinking about becoming a channel, but just as a researcher.

as many of you know, about 23 years ago. I had two UFO sightings over Los Angeles that spurred me toward doing a lot of research in the metaphysical field. And eventually I ran across channeling. I was introduced to a channel. I was invited by the entity in that channel along with other people to attend a channeling class, which I went into not thinking about becoming a channel, but just as a researcher. The meditations, the exercises in that class were for the purpose of getting you in touch with just whatever level of information or energy you wanted to get in touch with to use however you wanted to use it. And that's much about what this class is today as well. None of you have to assume that you have to vocal channel like I do in order to get something out of this. This is all going to be for the purpose of applying this energy however you want to. And we'll cover that in a moment as well. But after my connection was made and I began to do some research with other channels to figure out how they all became channels. The process really is exceedingly varied and obviously as personal as there are, you know, as many ways to do it as there are people. The channel that taught me was literally just walking down the street one day and blacked out and came to, fortunately he was with a friend, came to two hours later and had been told that he'd been talking for the last two hours and didn't remember a thing. That's how his started. Another channel simply started receiving information in dreams. One thing led to another and eventually they realized that this was being offered to them and reminded them perhaps of an agreement that they had made to do this. Another channel intentionally went into it, went after it, wanted this to happen. Again, a lot of times this is recognized at some point on the process of it's remembered as an agreement that has been made. That doesn't have to be the case. You can decide right here and right now that this is something that excites you and it's something that you want to do. And I'm sure there are more than enough entities, if that's the direction you want to go in, who are willing to work with you on this kind of a thing. There's no lack of entities around. But again, I want to stress that channeling is really just letting more of whatever come through. And it can be more of your own creativity, more of yourself, accessing your own higher consciousness, your own inner consciousness. it doesn't have to involve another entity. But even when it does, or if it does, you still have to realize that what you're actually accessing is your own energy, your own version of what you believe this connection represents.

want to stress that channeling is really just letting more of whatever come through. And it can be more of your own creativity, more of yourself, accessing your own higher consciousness, your own inner consciousness. it doesn't have to involve another entity. But even when it does, or if it does, you still have to realize that what you're actually accessing is your own energy, your own version of what you believe this connection represents. You are mirroring, you are resonating at a certain frequency that allows you to match whatever this other idea or entity or place is representative of to you. So one of the first things I want to talk about is just literally, you know, what is the mechanism of channeling in general, no matter how you apply it. Whether you're talking about, you know, being a singer, being a painter, being an actor, getting lost in the part, getting lost in the song, getting out of your way and just flowing, which is a channeling state, or whether you are doing what I'm doing, or automatic writing, or psychic functioning, or however you want to use that state, my understanding of it is, again, it is like tuning fork. going toward an idea, you are pushing yourself toward being a certain frequency of energy, which is what everything is made out of just energy, and whatever it is you want to achieve is simply represented by a certain bandwidth, a certain channel, a certain frequency of that energy, certain vibrational rate of that energy. So however you express it, the what you have to really do is you have to strongly identify and start to resonate with that energy. that concept. So hence said simply, don't do this if it's not something you're going to love doing. This should not be a struggle. And one of the strongest guidelines that you will have in exploring all of this is to determine for yourself what might be the best way for you by feeling out what does excite you, what doesn't excite you. You don't have to force yourself to do any of this. It should not be that way. Otherwise, in a sense, you're really defeating the whole purpose. of what channeling is all about. Always, by all means, take a moment, if you find that you're having some difficulty going ahead with this kind of idea, however you want to express it, always take a moment to make sure that you are not the one coloring it and making it seem as if it's more difficult than it needs to be. But at the same time, always make an honest assessment that what it is you think you may need to do or how it is you think you might need to express it isn't always necessarily. the case. My own wife in the beginning thought that channeling in the way that I channel was something that she wanted to do.

it and making it seem as if it's more difficult than it needs to be. But at the same time, always make an honest assessment that what it is you think you may need to do or how it is you think you might need to express it isn't always necessarily. the case. My own wife in the beginning thought that channeling in the way that I channel was something that she wanted to do. It did excite her. She did make some connections that did serve her, but ultimately she realized that that's not the way she wanted to go. For her at that time, dancing was her channeling. And she realized that that's really what her excitement was all about. But she was able to use the connections to the energy that she made for her dancing. So don't think that you have to force yourself in a certain direction in order to use this information or this energy in the way that best serves you by any means. One of the things, I guess, no matter what style sometimes of channeling or just being yourself that you want to do, one of the things that very often happens, I'm obviously going to be talking a lot about this whole process from my point of view in terms of my experience as an actual vocal channel. I do not, in any way, shape, or form assume that what I am going to say was my experience will necessarily be the same experience for you, especially if you're not going to vocal channel like I do. However, I have noticed in talking with a lot of other channels that there are sometimes some general experiences that are similar. And sometimes even if you're not channeling in the same way, sometimes you will have generally similar experiences in your whole process of preparation and in acclimatizing to the idea of letting more energy through, similar things will happen. Now the first thing I want to say before I go on with this is I want to diffuse the possibility here. This is sort of a, not a disclaimer, but I just want to make sure you're not keying into this in an inappropriate way. Anything I'm about to describe as a symptom or part of the process that I or anyone else has experienced, you should not necessarily assume that you have to experience this in order to have your channeling experience. A lot of things have changed over time. The first channels, the first modern channels, let's say, let's just say classically, most people would say it begins with Jane Roberts and the Seth material in terms of a modern channeling for our day and age, although obviously it's, you know, as old as humanity. But when we didn't understand that much about what this was and what the process is all about. A lot of people experienced certain things in their, what the process is all about.

first modern channels, let's say, let's just say classically, most people would say it begins with Jane Roberts and the Seth material in terms of a modern channeling for our day and age, although obviously it's, you know, as old as humanity. But when we didn't understand that much about what this was and what the process is all about. A lot of people experienced certain things in their, what the process is all about. A lot of people experienced certain things in their attempt to know what was going on. As each successive generation of channels came about and learned from the last ones, it actually, I have noticed, has been getting easier and easier and easier. And some of the things the older channels went through, the newer channels don't experience. So if I might mention a certain kind of experience or a certain symptom, don't assume you have to have it in order for you to channel as cleanly and perfectly as you want to. The mass consciousness's ability to accept that this is now a reality to a greater degree makes it easier for anyone starting new in using this energy. So you may have a completely different story. But a real critical point. I think needs to be covered here is that very often when you allow any kind of new energy in, you're talking about us having been, you know, in some senses, trained and conditioned to think in certain ways. A lot of our training and conditioning causes relative to this new energy a kind of constriction within us. In other words, we're simply not used to letting this kind of energy through or sometimes this much energy through. That constriction, that uncertainty about letting this flow being uncertain. can handle it, being uncertain what it is, will sometimes allow you in those constrictions to feel the results of those constrictions or resistances. The result many times, not always, of those constrictions and resistances will be such things as physical pain, physical disease, and things like that. That will probably be temporary if you keep going and you trust and learn that they are just symptoms of getting used to stress. and allowing more energy to come through. One of the analogies I often use for what this feels like when Bashar comes through is it's like Hoover Dam trying to force its way through a garden hose. You have to learn to widen the conduit in order to let it through more easily. Otherwise, that hose is going to be under a lot of pressure. And in your body, that pressure can translate sometimes as physical pain or tension or emotional flip-flops or upset or all sorts of manners of things that are going to turn your reality inside out and upside down and make you wonder if you're all right and what's going on.

And in your body, that pressure can translate sometimes as physical pain or tension or emotional flip-flops or upset or all sorts of manners of things that are going to turn your reality inside out and upside down and make you wonder if you're all right and what's going on. So if you take the step in this direction and you're really committed to going as far and fast as you can with this, just be aware that certain things all of a sudden might start happening and you might all of a sudden go, oh my God, what's wrong with me, there's something wrong with me, and you'll start to learn very quickly that it is actually possibly a symptom of the restrictions and that you have to learn to let those go. Now, one of the most common ones we came across, especially for vocal channeling, although again, who knows it can happen in other areas, is what ultimately has become referred to as the channeling chakra, which is at the back of the neck, for some reason. When about two weeks before Bashar and his people first made contact in that way, literally I was sitting doing nothing. I was talking to someone in the same way that I'm talking to you now. I hadn't moved. I hadn't made any kind of a bizarre motion. my neck just locked and it was an extremely painful experience for about a week and a half and then ultimately it just let go. I've heard over and over again a lot of channels say they get it in the back of the neck. So if that starts to happen, you start getting fluish, things like that, you start feeling like you're getting sick when the energy starts coming through, a lot of that can be very normal. So just pay attention to it, make sure that it's not something else, but don't also be too worried about that. The more you do it, just like anything, with practice, you'll alleviate it, you'll get used to it, you'll work out the kinks, you'll open up the resistances. Now, one of the reasons that I think we do this, and again perhaps by telling you this, you may learn to let go of this, if you're going to try and hold on to it, you may learn to let go of this more quickly than I did or any other channels that are of, let's say, my particular quote-unquote generation, And that is that we've been taught in this reality that pain is associated with change. And, you know, when we have such lines as no pain, no gain, and all this kind of stuff. Now, obviously, within certain contexts, this is not necessarily a bad thing.

to it, you may learn to let go of this more quickly than I did or any other channels that are of, let's say, my particular quote-unquote generation, And that is that we've been taught in this reality that pain is associated with change. And, you know, when we have such lines as no pain, no gain, and all this kind of stuff. Now, obviously, within certain contexts, this is not necessarily a bad thing. Obviously, you feel certain changes, and sometimes they can be a little uncomfortable, but you know that you're growing, you know that you're stretching it, and that's all right. But the idea, really, that I think, is going on here when it gets severe, is we've really been taught that if we don't create the pain, we don't have proof that we're changing, okay? That's what we really need to let go up. We have to really start learning that we can change as strongly and abruptly as we want to without having to prove to ourselves that we're changing by giving ourselves pain. The idea behind this in doing that is because generally we would never intentionally, quote unquote, give ourselves pain, So in that we are feeling the pain in going through the change, we can point to that and say, well, look, I can't be doing this. It must be real. It must be coming from outside myself. It's proof that it's not me. It's not just my imagination. It's not just something I'm dreaming up. It's real because I would never have thought to give myself this pain. You can let that go. If you don't, that's fine. If it happens that way that you do feel discomfort in some of these transitions, then work with it. Again, the only way that you don't, to let it transform is to own it and to work with it. But one of the reasons I think we do that is because we constantly think we need to prove that things are going the way we say they're going. And pain is one of the ways we validate that. Because usually we don't create that intentionally for ourselves so we can point to an outside source, so to speak. So A, because we think change is painful. Sometimes that's why we'll experience it. be because we think it proves that something's going on and we don't just have to let people take our word for it. We can show that we're having these aches and pains. And in some ways, an extension of that is that the pain for ourselves can validate to us that we're changing. In other words, sometimes we don't think we've earned it if we don't actually somehow suffer through it so that we can then say, well, you know, hey, I've had the school of heart of knocks. I've been there. I've done that. I've taken my lumps.

show that we're having these aches and pains. And in some ways, an extension of that is that the pain for ourselves can validate to us that we're changing. In other words, sometimes we don't think we've earned it if we don't actually somehow suffer through it so that we can then say, well, you know, hey, I've had the school of heart of knocks. I've been there. I've done that. I've taken my lumps. I have earned now the permission to change because I've suffered in getting where I'm getting. So these and probably a dozen other reasons are sometimes why people will experience great pain, especially when dealing with a lot of these other greater energies that are either our higher selves, future selves or whatever our concept of that is or in bringing through some other energy or some other entities. So if you want to, by all means, remember that this might be one reason why we're doing that, why we're experiencing the pain, and if you can let that go, it's not going to diminish your ability to know that you can make profound change and let this energy through. So I think that's a very important point to remember. We've talked about the idea, technically, in a sense of what channeling is. Many people nowadays still think, when we're talking about an entity coming through, that this entity is actually inhabiting your body. I don't believe that that that can actually even physically happen. To me, it's a matter of identification, of resonance. You are, as I said, changing your frequency to mirror them, to match them. Nothing can really occupy you because they're really, in that sense, is no space to occupy. You fill up your space. There's nothing else that can get in there. There's no place to get into. So the whole concept of something entering your body is really simply a physical reality euphemism for the idea that you are sort of setting your typical self aside and letting yourself represent a completely different identity. But while that is in its own way real, you don't ever have to worry about the idea of being possessed or taken over. And this brings us to another point is a lot of people still ask, it's a very common question, how do you know you're not going to let something bad come through when you open yourself up to this kind of stuff? Well, the way you know is that you choose to know that. It's really as simple as making a choice of knowing that there's only one reason why you'd be doing this at all. And that's for positive, constructive, creative, beneficial reasons. And therefore, that's the only thing you're going to attract. Now, some people say, well, you know, you can surround yourself with white light, you can do this, you can do that. If that's what works for you, use it.

you choose to know that. It's really as simple as making a choice of knowing that there's only one reason why you'd be doing this at all. And that's for positive, constructive, creative, beneficial reasons. And therefore, that's the only thing you're going to attract. Now, some people say, well, you know, you can surround yourself with white light, you can do this, you can do that. If that's what works for you, use it. But do understand that fundamentally, that's still coming from your idea about what it is you think you need to do, and that's simply part of the resonance you're creating. So whatever tool works for you, by all means, use it. Don't shun them. Don't think you have to be more spiritual. you don't have to use these tools. Don't force yourself to try and be what you think is more spiritual. Go with the flow of your beliefs and make your beliefs work for you in letting this stuff come through. But by all means, realize that it's simply a matter of like attracts like. And in most cases, from what I've experienced, any so-called connection to negative entities is really, in most cases, nothing more than the channel's own fears being very. voiced and personalized and manifested and labeled another entity because the channel is not willing to face the responsibility for those particular fears. And so they project it into the idea that it's another entity taking over. That is not an impossibility based on their level of vibration, but in my experience, it is extremely unlikely that the whole idea of making a resonant connection in and of itself is an integrative act, which in a sense means it's a way. a mechanically positive act. Therefore, the whole idea of blending is, in some sense, is just the opposite of even being capable of attracting something negative, which by definition is segregative and domineering. So try to reconcile that idea within yourself that you don't even really necessarily need to do anything in particular to make yourself feel safe. Whatever your intention is behind doing this is, is what you're going to do something. What's going to determine what kind of things you're going to contact or are even capable of contacting you? Because whatever you're not the vibration of, you're invisible to that reality and they're invisible to you. You cannot interact unless you have an underlying belief that for some reason you need to attract that kind of drama in your life. Some people do. Again, if you do attract that kind of drama, make it work for you, be creative with it, be imaginative with it, and make it work for you. However, you want to use that. this energy. You will find, I think, as I have and other channels have, that when you begin this process, you will constantly test yourself.

some reason you need to attract that kind of drama in your life. Some people do. Again, if you do attract that kind of drama, make it work for you, be creative with it, be imaginative with it, and make it work for you. However, you want to use that. this energy. You will find, I think, as I have and other channels have, that when you begin this process, you will constantly test yourself. And that means you will constantly check to make sure that you really believe this is happening, you really still want to do this, you really still can do this, you'll just find now and and then that you'll test yourself and one of the ways that I found that I and others have tested themselves over and over again is because we were born here like anyone will get caught up sometimes in a little bit of an ego game and that is oh look how far I've come I know how to handle this it's going fine I know everything there is to know about channeling as soon as I think that I get smashed by a ten ton mallet okay you will constantly test yourself and you have You have to allow yourself, one of the greatest keys that I've discovered in making sure that you are always staying somewhat balanced in this is to drop any assumption or expectation about what the channeling is supposed to do. Okay? Bottom line, the simplest way to say it is, people have an expectation about what this means to bring this kind of energy through and they can get caught up in the idea of what it represents and what is supposed to happen. in order for them to believe they're functioning correctly. One of the best things you can do for yourself and one of the ways you can treat yourself most kindly in this entire process. No matter what you may think you're connecting to, no matter how omniscient or omnipotent it's supposed to be, it's okay for you to all of a sudden in the middle of any kind of channeling, it's okay to realize you don't know what you're supposed to do. You don't know what you're supposed to say. you don't know what the information is supposed to be, it's okay that the entity doesn't know. You have to let it be all right that you just don't know. And if that's what happens at that moment, let it go. That is one time, sometimes one of the strongest tests you give yourself is because when you start thinking that there's gotta be something there or you'll look like you don't know what you're doing, that's when you really get into trouble. And you'll start bringing things through that are truly imbalanced and inaccurate. So if all of a sudden there's just nothing coming through, there's just nothing coming through. And that's all you have to do about it.

sometimes one of the strongest tests you give yourself is because when you start thinking that there's gotta be something there or you'll look like you don't know what you're doing, that's when you really get into trouble. And you'll start bringing things through that are truly imbalanced and inaccurate. So if all of a sudden there's just nothing coming through, there's just nothing coming through. And that's all you have to do about it. So please don't push yourselves faster than you really need to go with this. Remember, very, very importantly, especially if you begin a journey of this kind of channeling, and especially if you decide to go public with it. Again, there is no point in doing this kind of channeling. this at all. There's no point in the idea of helping others if you do not treat yourself with the same respect. So don't overtax yourself. Don't overwork yourself. Don't think you have to perform. Don't think you have to do this for other people. Create your own schedule for this. For this. If you don't treat yourself well, if you don't take time to be who you want to be aside from whatever service you think you may be providing in channeling, you're not going to be of much service because you will wear yourself out. And even though in time the energy can be energizing, at first it might be tiring, because you may not be used to it. In time, it ought to be energizing. If over a long period of time it is not energizing, there's something there you need to look at. There might be more resistance than you think. There might be more definitions getting in your way than you think. But if it's not something that gives you a chance to be yourself and take time for yourself and do the things that you want to do to know that you're living a life here on earth, then you're going too far because as Bashar has said, service is not servitude. So there was a time about the second, third year of my channeling. When I was channeling almost every day, it was just too much. I was literally almost never here. I was not grounded in that sense. I felt burnt out because I was not living my life. In the channeling experience, as I experienced a time is very collapsed. I only experienced about half the amount of time that you do. So it was like I'd wake up in the morning. I'd shut my eyes. I'd open my eyes. It'd be night. I'd have no day. I wasn't living a life here. So I learned to regulate, pull back and say, okay, you know, once a week, twice a week, whatever. That's what I'm comfortable with. That's okay to do. So if you go this particular route, please don't push yourself in that sense. No one can demand that you help them in that way.

So I learned to regulate, pull back and say, okay, you know, once a week, twice a week, whatever. That's what I'm comfortable with. That's okay to do. So if you go this particular route, please don't push yourself in that sense. No one can demand that you help them in that way. Otherwise, you're not going to wind up being of much help. One of the things that happens very often, especially in this kind of channeling, is that people will start channeling, and all of a sudden they're channeling this entity, and that entity, and this entity, and next week they're channeling 27 different entities. It's not that that cannot happen, but in my experience, that's exceedingly rare, and the idea is that that that may happen now and then. But this is a symptom. It's a good symptom, actually. But many people mistake it for something that it's not. Again, discernment is important. You have to decide that this is what this really is. But, again, in my experience and looking at other channels, you'll find quite commonly that when people just begin, they're relatively new, and all of a sudden they're channeling 50 million different entities and this federation and that federation, and everyone's changing hats at the drop of a hat, you'll usually find that what that is is, all the different fragments of our own personality, that we have been forced to have in our consciousness for our history, both personal and collective, are starting to come to the surface so they can reintegrate. So many times what may seem to be, you know, Akbar from Dimension 12, and all of a sudden then Blue Lady from the Lagoon over here and then this and that, are poor not to discount anyone, are portions of our own personality that we need to recognize archetypally and symbolically as things we need to integrate into our own understanding of who we are. Once that starts to happen, you will usually find as part of the natural process that it'll become less and less and less entities. And you will usually, if you're dealing with another entity, you'll find yourself starting to settle more down to three or two or one or something along that line with maybe a visit now and then, who knows. But realize that that's a very typical symptom. And that's really mostly all it is, usually. Again, there may always be exceptions, but I'm talking in generalities. It's usually all the fragments of yourself coming back together, making themselves known, reclaiming their autonomous position within you, because you've been fragmented. A lot of these have been suppressed, never expressed for a long time.

along that line with maybe a visit now and then, who knows. But realize that that's a very typical symptom. And that's really mostly all it is, usually. Again, there may always be exceptions, but I'm talking in generalities. It's usually all the fragments of yourself coming back together, making themselves known, reclaiming their autonomous position within you, because you've been fragmented. A lot of these have been suppressed, never expressed for a long time. They're claiming their right to be announced as real within you, which doesn't mean they're not real, but mostly it has to do with who you are as an entity yourself. a consciousness and once that begins to integrate, you'll either find that one of them will become predominant or something else altogether different once you've made the integration will announce itself and come in. On the issue of announcement, when I first received the connection, there was a word there. The word was Bashar. As I've said, it's not his name. It's an Arabic word. That's partly my background, which is part of the reason why it might have been chosen. I don't speak Arabic. I have no idea what the word meant. It means messenger. I've been told. That doesn't always happen. Sometimes there are reasons for getting a name. Sometimes there are reasons for not getting a name. So if again, you have the expectation or the assumption that you're moving in this direction, you get some kind of what feels like a contact. You can ask, should there be a name, do you want a name, or if it's not there, you know, automatically, then you can ask. If no name comes, please don't think you have to have a name in order for it to be valid. Again, as I always say at the beginning of these things, the information You're going to contact or are even capable of contacting you, because whatever you're not the vibration of, you're invisible to that reality and they're invisible to you. You cannot interact unless you have an underlying belief that for some reason you need to attract that kind of drama in your life. Some people do. Again, if you do attract that kind of drama, make it work for you. Be creative with it. Be a imaginative with it and make it work for you. However, you want to use this energy. You will find, I think, as I have and other channels have, that when you begin this process, you will constantly test yourself. And that means you will constantly check to make sure that you really believe this is happening. You really still want to do this. You really still can. You really do this, you'll just find now and then that you'll test yourself.

work for you. However, you want to use this energy. You will find, I think, as I have and other channels have, that when you begin this process, you will constantly test yourself. And that means you will constantly check to make sure that you really believe this is happening. You really still want to do this. You really still can. You really do this, you'll just find now and then that you'll test yourself. And one of the ways that I found that I and others have tested themselves over and over again is, because we were born here like anyone, we'll get caught up sometimes in a little bit of an ego game, and that is, oh, look how far I've come, I know how to handle this, it's going fine, I know everything there is to know about channeling. As soon as I think that, I get smashed by a 10-ton mallet. You will constantly test yourself. And you have to allow yourself. One of the greatest keys that I've discovered in making sure that you are always staying somewhat balanced in this is to drop any assumption or expectation about what the channeling is supposed to do. Bottom line, the simplest way to say it is, people have an expectation about what this means to bring this kind of energy through. And they can get caught up in the idea of what it represents and what is supposed to happen in order for them to believe they're functioning correctly. One of the best things you can do for yourself and one of the ways you can treat yourself most kindly in this entire process, no matter what you may think you're connecting to, no matter how omniscient or omnipotent it's supposed to be, it's okay for you to all of a sudden in the middle of any kind of channeling, it's okay to realize you don't know. what you're supposed to do. You don't know what you're supposed to say. You don't know what the information is supposed to be. It's okay that the entity doesn't know. You have to let it be all right that you just don't know. And if that's what happens at that moment, let it go. That is one time, sometimes one of the strongest tests you give yourself is because when you start thinking that there's got to be something there or you'll look like you don't know what you're doing, that's when you really get into trouble. And you'll start bringing things through, and you'll start bringing things through that are truly imbalanced and inaccurate. So if all of a sudden there's just nothing coming through, there's just nothing coming through and that's all you have to do about it. So please don't push yourselves faster than you really need to go with this. Remember very, very importantly, especially if you begin a journey of this kind of channeling and especially if you decide to go public with it.

So please don't push yourselves faster than you really need to go with this. Remember very, very importantly, especially if you begin a journey of this kind of channeling and especially if you decide to go public with it. Again, there is no point in doing this at all. There's no point in the idea of helping others if you do not treat yourself with the same respect. So don't overtax yourself, don't overwork yourself, don't think you have to perform, don't think you have to do this for other people. Create your own schedule for this. If you don't treat yourself well, if you don't take time to be who you want to be, you want to be, aside from whatever service you think you may be providing in channeling, you're not going to be of much service because you will wear yourself out. And even though in time the energy can be energizing, at first it might be tiring because you may not be used to it. In time, it ought to be energizing. If over a long period of time it is not energizing, there's something there you need to look at. There might be more resistance than you think. There might be more definitions getting in your way than you think. But if you, If it's not something that gives you a chance to be yourself and take time for yourself and do the things that you want to do to know that you're living a life here on earth, then you're going too far because as Bashar has said, service is not servitude. So there was a time about the second, third year of my channeling. When I was channeling almost every day, it was just too much. I was literally almost never here. I was not grounded in that sense. I felt burnt out because I was not living my life. channeling experience as I experience a time is very collapsed I only experience about half the amount of time that you do so it was like I'd wake up in the morning I shut my eyes I'd open my eyes it'd be night I'd have no day I wasn't living a life here so I learned to regulate pull back and say okay you know once a week twice a week whatever that's what I'm comfortable with that's okay to do so if you go this particular route please don't push yourself in that sense no one can demand that you help them in that way otherwise you're not going to wind up being of much help.

night I'd have no day I wasn't living a life here so I learned to regulate pull back and say okay you know once a week twice a week whatever that's what I'm comfortable with that's okay to do so if you go this particular route please don't push yourself in that sense no one can demand that you help them in that way otherwise you're not going to wind up being of much help. One of the things that happens very often, especially in this kind of channeling, is that people will start channeling and all of a sudden they're channeling this entity and that entity and this entity and next week they're channeling 27 different entities. It's not that that cannot happen, but in my experience that's exceedingly rare and the idea is that that may happen now and then but this is a symptom it's a good symptom actually but many people mistake it for something that it's not again discernment is important you have to decide that this is what this really is but again in my experience and looking at other channels you'll find quite commonly that when people just begin they're relatively new and all of a sudden they're channeling 50 million different entities and this federation and that federation and everyone's changing hats at the drop of a hat you'll usually find that what that is is all the different fragments of our own personality that we have been forced to have in our consciousness for our history both personal and collective are starting to come to the surface so they can reintegrate okay so many times what may seem to be you know Akbar from dimension 12 and all of a sudden then blue lady from the lagoon over here and then this and that are poor not to discount anyone are portion of our own personality that we need to recognize archetypally and symbolically as things we need to integrate into our own understanding of who we are once that starts to happen you will usually find as part of the natural process that it'll become less and less and less entities and you will usually if you're dealing with another entity you'll find yourself starting to settle more down to three or two or one or something along that line with maybe visit now and then who knows But realize that that's a very typical symptom and that's really mostly all it is usually. Again, there may always be exceptions, but I'm talking in generalities. It's usually all the fragments of yourself coming back together, making themselves known, reclaiming their autonomous position within you because you've been fragmented. A lot of these have been suppressed, never expressed for a long time. They're claiming their right to be announced as real within you, which doesn't mean they're not real.

A lot of these have been suppressed, never expressed for a long time. They're claiming their right to be announced as real within you, which doesn't mean they're not real. mean they're not real, but mostly it has to do with who you are as an entity yourself and a consciousness and once that begins to integrate, you'll either find that one of them will become predominant or something else altogether different once you've made the integration will announce itself and come in. On the issue of announcement, when I first received the connection, there was a word there. The word was Bashar. As I've said, it's not his name. It's an Arabic word. That's partly my background, which is part of the reason why it might have been chosen. I don't speak Arabic. I have no idea. what the word meant. It means messenger I've been told. That doesn't always happen. Sometimes there are reasons for getting a name. Sometimes there are reasons for not getting a name. So if again, you have the expectation or the assumption that you're moving in this direction, you get some kind of what feels like a contact. You can ask, should there be a name? Do you want a name? Or if it's not there, you know, automatically, then you can ask. If no name comes, please don't think you have to have a name in order for it to be valid. Again, as I always say at the beginning of these things, the information is what's valid. It doesn't always really matter where it's coming from because you already go in knowing that you're doing this for a positive intention. You know you're going to bring through stuff that's going to be of service somehow. So you don't have to worry that, well, if I don't have a name, then who knows what this is, maybe it's just me, and then maybe that means it's no good. Please don't worry about the idea of having to have a name if you make that kind of a connection. That isn't always important. sometimes can actually be counterproductive in certain circumstances. Along that line, also, please remember that back to the assumption of, you know, it should be this, it should be that, it should come through this way. If somebody asks a question, I should be able to get the information for them, blah, blah, blah. Sometimes you have to realize that the whole concept of channeling in that way and being of service in that way means that you will give the person intuitively, instinctively, you will let the information come through that really, actually serves what that person needs or wants.
