A Day in My Life: Post 27 for Rave Reviews Book Club: Is channeling real?

Written by Donna M. Atwood

​By now, pretty much everyone has heard of channeling, but what is it exactly and is it even real?
 
Before I go any further, I would like to address the obvious – specifically, that the terms channeling or channeler are not thought of highly by a significant percentage of the population. That’s because it has become associated with either the dark arts, metal illness or even illicit drug use. For example, historically, people who heard from someone other than God or the Almighty were labeled as heretics. More recently, some people have claimed to have gone on “bad trips” which include terrifying hallucinations (visual and auditory) when taking illegal drugs.
 
In a way, the public’s perception about channeling, reminds me of the UFO phenomenon, because for decades, a lot of people assumed that someone who saw a UFO, or an alien was mentally ill. A crackpot. Or even, a plain liar. Fortunately, public opinion about UFOs, UAPs, and extraterrestrial life has shifted over the last ten to fifteen years. As an experiencer myself, I don’t mind telling you how grateful I am that this has occurred, and is continuing to occur, even to this day. From where I’m standing, the same is beginning to happen with channeling, but this shift is still in its infancy. 
​

What Is a Channeler?
 
A channeler (or oracle) is someone who communicates with what can be thought of as a higher source. Sounds like a nice, neat and buttoned up answer, doesn’t it?  To be honest, as someone who’s had a fair amount of experience with this phenomenon, I can tell you that this is an overly simplistic answer. Let’s dive into this topic a bit further.
 
Channeling includes hearing from someone else – say an extraterrestrial, who has useful messages to share with the rest of humanity. Sometimes this is as simple as tuning in and receiving the information telepathically, and then speaking it or writing it down so it may be shared with a wider audience.
 
Other times, according to Matias De Stefano, a human may hear from someone who is neither alive, nor dead. This messenger may exist as energy. In other words, they are not physical, in nature.
 
Additionally, it has been suggested by De Stefano that a person may hear from, (or sense information from), their higher self. This is said to come from a human’s oversoul. Other aspects of the human include oneself, which has a brain, body and emotions and is trying to survive, and the ego, which can be thought of as I. Other ways of describing the different aspects of a human famously came from Dr. Sigmund Freud with his id, ego and superego. Perhaps one day I will compare these in another writing, but for the sake of brevity of today's post, I will leave it as this for now.
 
There are also times when a human may experience what is known as trans channeling. An example of such a person is Daryl Anka, who is a channel for the extraterrestrial known as Bashar. Anyone who has seen Anka, knows that, when channeling Bashar, he experiences a complete and total transformation. Literally, it’s as if Bashar takes over Anka’s human vessel - but in a positive way - to educate humans on a variety of topics. (I will address the darker aspects of this shortly.)
 
Other well-known people who have claimed to channel information include:

• Jane Roberts (Channel for Seth)
• Edgar Cayce
• Nikola Tesla

 
According to Anka, all human channelers can be thought of as conduits. Channeling, simply put, is a matter of tuning in to a specific frequency and picking up a signal. For those who are new to this, it can take a while before the signal becomes clear. Mastering this requires a lot of patience and practice and perseverance. It also requires one to still themselves.
 
In a way, channeling can also be thought of as a type of co-creation or spiritual shamanism. That’s because a human and a higher form can work together to achieve a common goal. It is not the messenger that’s important, it’s the message. Such messages are typically meant to benefit the individual, tribe or society as a whole. Often love, unity and wisdom teachings are shared in this manner.
 
Dark and Light
 
Please know that I’m not suggesting that messages from dark entities never take place. My understanding is the demonic possessions do in fact, exist. In fact, during my dark night of the soul, (which occurred after a lengthy encounter with a spherical UFO) I personally experienced some disturbing clairaudient sounds and messages - the bulk of which went on for six consecutive nights. This was not the same as a possession – thank goodness! Nevertheless, it was a frightening ordeal, just the same.
 
In my case, I now believe that these messages served a higher purpose of getting me to stop placating difficult people. They also ultimately led me in the direction of dealing with my uncomfortable home life. Anyone who is a regular reader of my blog knows that, because of this phenomenon, I ended up asking my husband for a divorce. I also relocated to the opposite side of the United States and have been taking care of other family matters ever since.
 
Simply stated, the darkness pushed me toward the light. As a result of everything that I’ve been through, I am a much stronger and happier person now. (I still contend that my ex and I are both good and decent people, but we had reached a point where our relationship needed to move in different directions. He too seems much more content now, and this makes me happy.)
 
One last thing that I think is important for me to mention. There is something that sometimes happens early on when a human is in the initial stages of channeling. For those who go on to become trans channelers, there have been accounts of people claiming to experience strong energy sensations in their body. This is said to prepare the body in some way, so the human can become a teacher. My feeling is that if this is for the good of humanity, the universe, and is meant to reflect God’s will, then I’m all for it!
 
What about you? Does the idea of channeling intrigue you? Does it frighten you? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this topic!
 
Wishing you love and light,
Donna M. Atwood
