About Channeling
Responsibility, Discernment
Channeling is an age-old practice of connecting with spirit for insights and guidance. It is "risky" work in that it can open the channel (the receiver) to some lower astral energy that can ultimately wreak havoc... however, when approached with a balanced, responsible attitude and a loving heart, channeling can produce information that benefits not just the receiver, but the entire human race...
Lee Carrol, channeling Kryon, one of today's most well-known entities, offers some valuable advice for the aspiring channel. For more from Kryon, visit http://www.kryon.com
Says Lee, About Channeling,
Responsibility and the Power of Discernment...
I want to take this opportunity to speak of channelling in general. It is often misunderstood as something spooky and weird, and I'll bet you have certain friends that you would never tell.. that you were looking at this web page! Some feel it is evil, and many don't want anything to do with it. They would rather stick to other information that isn't channelled (they think). That's what is funny!
CHANNELLING DEFINITION: The divine, inspired words (or energy of God) as imparted to Humans and delivered to other Humans by Humans.
The above definition is what channelling actually IS. That means that not only were most of the sacred scriptures of the planet (all religions) channelled originally, but also much artwork and music too! Channelling is absolutely commonplace, but like so many other reemerging processes in the New Age, it has a stigma about it that is strange.
We have been used to having "authorized and sanctioned" men and women of God passing information to us... not the common folks. Therefore in this New Age, where the actual basic intent of the New Age Master of Love is beginning to surface (that of self enablement for those other than the priests of the land), we are seeing more and more "common folk" passing on the information of God.
Even in our own culture, we accept the letters from a common man to his friends in several cities in the Holy Land... as the sacred words of God! (This is how much of the New Testament of the Holy Bible was written.) Think about it. That's channelling!
God did not stop speaking to humans 2,000 years ago. To accept this is to deny your own divinity, or to assign some special sacredness to the past, and not feel worthy to consider yourself part of God's continued plan for an enlightened Earth. You are worthy of a continued communication with God... which I teach is actually a part of YOU!
But there is something that comes with channelling....
RESPONSIBILITY!
Anyone can channel, and Spirit is not proprietary in this regard. It's for all humans, and not just a few. Therefore the ability and potential exists for this attribute for us all. Like so many other things, INTENT of the human means everything. Not all channelling is given with PURE INTENT. Therefore, some is real, and some is not... and YOU should be able to tell the difference when you HEAR or READ it.
Many men and women are spouting verbiage these days, calling it inspired... some on web pages just like this. How can you tell if it's real or not, since there is no organization telling you who is "OK" and who is not? (Aren't you glad?)
The responsibility of a REAL channel is AWESOME. Sacred, anointed information can change lives! Self-serving egocentric information can be confusing and actually halt a person's spiritual growth. How can you know the difference? Kryon tells us that we have the power of discernment to know, and that we will even be able to "feel" the difference.
For those of you who are still learning what that feeling is, I have some information that may help. It was published originally in New Realities magazine, July 1987... two years before Kryon got here (how appropriate). The article is called "Guidelines for Spiritual Discernment." Twelve (12) guidelines are shown in the article for the reader to watch for, both negative and positive. Kryon has told us that this information is accurate, and was developed by enlightened Humans to teach other Humans. Below I present Seven (7) of the twelve (as also presented in Kryon Book Six, "Partnering With God").
The next time you sit before a channel or read a transcription, consider these seven items presented below. As you listen to or read the words of a channeler, also try to ask "what is the intent of the human speaking." Is there any ego or Human agenda? If you detect it... then stop. There cannot be human ego present for the information to be accurate and true. Spirit demands this of the channeller... I know. I also know from over ten years of live channeling experience that the message will ALWAYS be filled with love, and not fear. Watch for this!
Do you "recognize" the energy as familiar and feeling like "Home?" This is another key. If you don't, and you can't identify with the entity or entities that are channelling through the Human, then perhaps you should pass on the message for now.
IMPORTANT: Please take a moment to read the "four attributes of love" as presented in chapter one of the Kryon Book - Partnering with God - (and also given on the Kryon web site). It will help you to understand an ego-less state... and some of the attributes of real sacred energy.
Then discern for yourself. What is happening? Messages from a human? ... or messages from a loving and wise God? I expect and welcome this test for everything I write and speak as a channel for Kryon. It absolutely must stand up every time.
GUIDELINES FOR DISCERNMENT
Paraphrased...- New Realities Magazine - July 1987
- There will always be useful information for everyone. Beware of the channel that gives you useful information for only a few, or tells you that it's only for a special group or a sequestered number. It must be useful for ALL humanity, every single Human. This is an area of discernment allowing you to know you are hearing the truth.
- The message should be uplifting. Watch for an empowering message - NOT ONE OF FEAR, not one that drags you down - not one that makes you want to take fearful action or hide - but an enabling message! This is a staple of God energy. It must be there. It should inspire the listener.
- Spirit (God) will never, ever channel a message that asks you to give up your free will. Never! For your free will is what your experience on Earth is all about as you sit in your "chairs of gold" (a metaphor created in Kryon Book Six). Free will! CHOICE is what drives your planet's future.
- Spirit will never give you a message - ever - that asks you to violate the integrity of what you believe. You are honored in your thought processes. Spirit will never trick you or "talk you" into anything. The message must never violate your integrity. You must feel comfortable with it, and it will ring true to your heart.
- Spirit will never represent a channeler as being the only source. Watch for this, for there are many channels of Spirit and they all coordinate their information to create a bigger picture, especially in this New Age. They will NEVER represent themselves as the ONLY source of information.
- Watch for the fact that the information is normally new information. Beware of the channel that simply re-hashes the old, for they are not channelling anything but the ego of the Human Being. New information is necessary. It is the entire reason for the channel. Think about it.
- Watch for the fact that channelled information should have spiritual solutions presented. Solutions to life challenges on Earth, via new information, is the purpose of channeling.
