Channeling explained

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

Q. Masters, Archangel Michael is channeled by a lot of people with seemingly opposite advice at times. How can this be possible? Are some of these channelers not telling the truth?

A. Dear Investigative One, first let us tell you a little about channeling. There are several different physical techniques channels or mediums might use when delivering our messages. Trance channelers, who are completely unconscious during the event, give their body and vocal cords over to our spiritual energy, have no input of their own at all in the process, and have no memory whatsoever of what has transpired. Psychic channelers get information placed into their conscious or subconscious mind by the energies on the other side. As they do not have direct contact with us, they repeat or regurgitate the information as they interpret it. Finally, there are the “pure” or “clear” channels, who consciously step out of the way as our vibrational energy is coming through and are merely receivers who translate our information into human-speak. The accuracy of this translation depends on the channel’s own expertise in our vibrational language, partially based on information in their encyclopedia of knowledge from their experiences in this life and past lives.

A channel is just that—a conduit through which information flows without interference. Realize that some tubes are solid like PVC piping, while others have holes, and some are even made out of mesh or webbing.

The point of origin is an additional factor. Within the spirit world this involves the levels of the vibrational energy of the parties involved. In order to get a clear reception of an energy with vibrations as high as those of Archangel Michael, a channel must also vibrate at a very high level, without being held down by earth baggage. Think of a radio. If you are slightly off the right frequency with your radio tuner, you may still be able to hear the program, but it is not clear and it fades in and out. It’s the same with spiritual energies. Conversing with a recently deceased soul who has not totally severed its most recent bond with Earth does not require the channel’s energy level to be as high as that needed for interacting with an archangel.

Almost all of those who state they have obtained messages from Michael have in fact had them originate from Archangel Michael. A very few people desperately want to hear from Michael but cannot step out of their own way to allow it. They may have made something up, envisioning what they think he might want to say to you.

Apparently conflicting information comes from the purity of the flow of energy. If there is no interference from the human psyche or conscious mind, if channelers are in tune with the vibrations, and if they have a facility for translating the language of spiritual energy adequately, then all their messages will be identical. If anything “fuzzes up” the stream of energy, however, the messages will become garbled or inconsistent.

As with all things spiritual, we encourage you to see how a message feels to you before you accept it into your being. Channeling is a wonderful way to exchange information and teaching between the dimensions—but we are a bit prejudiced in that regard!
