In reply to channeling?, posted by rayww on July 2, 2003, at 19:55:50
Dear Rayww
Thanks for asking your questions. I am always grateful to clear up misunderstandings about the process of being a medium and channeling beings who are not now incarnated here on earth.
Every channeler finds their own method for getting into the space where these other-worldly beings may use their vocal chords, and sometimes their entire body as well. Some channels, like the fellow who published "Conversations With God", do it strictly by writing what they 'hear' from the other side. I do it all. I allow Arlon to speak, use my entire body, and write. When writing with them - they feel like the 'still small voice within'. I hear them in my mind. Yet that voice does not have tone, and the other qualities that you would 'hear' remembering or thinking of someone you know well, talking to you.
Arlon claims to belong to no particular religious organization. They say they have participated in many while spending lives here on earth and so are familiar with them. When I relax myself to the place where they can then speak 'through' me and use my body to visit with people, I clear my thoughts of all images, ideas, and ruminations to the best of my ability. I've meditated much, so this comes easy. When they are speaking to a crowd or an individual, I can hear what is going on and what is being said. I feel like a point of consciousness at that point. It's like I'm hovering in my head somewhere in the middle of my brain. In the early days, it was hard to stay quiet and not want to get involved in the conversation or suggest to Arlon what to say. As time went on, I got better at being still and enjoying the meeting. I usually remember best any concepts and metaphors that I had not heard before. When the channeling is over, it feels like I was sitting in the audience. Later it starts to feel more dream like and only the new stuff stays with me.
I always get the most incredible feedback from the folks who have conversations with Arlon. Their experience is one of a very loving, compassionate and wise person. Some people experience them as male, others female. They always sound the same when they speak and always have the same personality even though it is a group consciousness that creates the phenomenon.
While I can believe there are channels who channel negative and destructive information, what you might call the Devil, Arlon is not that. Since I am aware of all that goes on - something I insisted on from the start - I would have quit if the information where anything other then respectful, non-controlling and full of love and compassion. Arlon fits the bill.
Some channels are called 'Trance Channels' and do not remember what came through them. Some of them are very, very good as well. Having been manic-psychotic five times in my life, that would be too scary for me.
I too prefer to live my life from what goes on within. I do read, but the ultimate authority is my own mind and experience. I have tested Arlon’s suggestions over the years and have not been disappointed.
Warmest Regards,
Habby
