Channeling

This page presents transcript excerpts of three different ‘total takeover’ channeling cases as described in the article “Channeling ‘Silver Birch’ (In Comparison with Other Cases)”:

In his memoir Power of the Spirit, Maurice Barbanell recalled a seance in his youth where difficulties in his life were discussed with ‘Red Cloud’ speaking through the entranced Estelle Roberts. Red Cloud informed him that nothing would continue to go right until he redeemed a promise made in a past life that he would devote the major portion of his career to psychic activities. Maurice also attended Direct Voice seances where Red Cloud’s voice was heard and on one occasion even witnessed and touched the materialized form of Red Cloud. The following excerpts of the transcendental communication of Red Cloud are from the Foreword of Red Cloud Speaks (Trance teachings through Estelle Roberts 1938)

From the four corners of the heavenly spheres there gathered together the Council of the higher worlds in space, and it was agreed that some of us should descend into the lower and heavier vibrations of earthly man.

My first thought upon contacting the earth was to find an instrument that would have sufficient strength of purpose to enable me to use her in the fulfillment of my mission. This I have accomplished.

Remember, “To know God is to love your fellow men; to worship God is to serve them; to believe in God is to succour them; and to see God is to bring peace amongst the nations.”

In comparison, the following are quotations from ‘channeled entities’ among two other of the best-known contemporary channeling cases.

‘Lazaris’ through Jach Pursel (from Lazaris Interviews Book 1 published in 1988):

As we say, we officially began communicating through Jach, the one we call the Channel, on October 3rd, 1974. We had made contact with him much earlier in that year through his own meditative approaches — and indeed much to his surprise! Our initial message to him (as he quite accurately reports it) was: “We will call you . . . not for you to call us.” Through that period of time we rather made the initial adjustments — and completed the final adjustments — such as to make possible our communication without creating any distress or harm to the physical, mental or psychological form of the one who is the Channel.

Prior to that timing (according to your particular schedules it would be during several of his previous lifetimes) we had made contact with the Channel to nudge, to gently nudge and suggest (much without his knowing) certain evolutionary developments in preparation for this timing of October, 1974. During his current lifetime, in his childhood and early adolescence, again we were ever so gently, ever so subtly nudging. For above all we did not want to create any distress. We wanted only to create the opportunity for his growth, for our interaction, and for the growth and evolution for those with whom we would be speaking.

We also enjoy talking with people about their past lives. We hesitate as we say the term, for it is a misnomer since all lifetimes are concurrent. All lifetimes are simultaneous and are only labeled “past” for the convenience of categorizing them.

‘John’ through Kevin Ryerson (from Spirit Communication: The Soul’s Path by Kevin Ryerson and Stephanie Harolde 1989):

The phenomenon that you call “spirit communication” is little more than a dialogue with entities identical to yourself. As your progress, so in turn do the spirit guides and teachers about you progress. Above all else, you promote one another’s well-being. They are usually members of your soul group, but in the discarnate state.

Perhaps you knew them in past lives, or when you were discarnate and they incarnate, for there have been lifetimes when you have been discarnate and have given guidance from the other side through the trance state. That is, you have been spirit guides in your own past lives. In this way, the relationship parallels your relationships upon this plane.

In trance channeling, that which you term a discarnate personality is able to utilize the physical body for communication from planes beyond the realms of its normal five sensory patterns. Such communications are for the advancement of the collective consciousness of mankind as a whole.

Mediumship or channeling is but a term for the focusing of spirit through the individual above and beyond the range of his own conscious faculties. Each of you has this faculty and your meditations shall bring it unto you. It is your guides and teachers who communicate with you and have dialogue. But remember to pray only unto God. Acknowledge the Father who is in heaven so that he may send a messenger unto you for the ministry of the angels. And if you perceive God as love, this is the master you will serve.
