Opening to Channel: How to Connect with Your Guide

[From the Spirit realm, we, the Spirit guides] can only see and hear you when we adjust our frequencies in a way that makes your universe visible to us. When you reach upward, asking for a guide, you change your energy and become visible to us. Your intent to go higher is very visible in our universe, and we are aware of you as you reach upward.

[From the Spirit Realm of Spirit Guides] we usually do not see you as you see each other. We perceive you as moving energy patterns, colors and harmonies. We perceive your world as moving harmonics of energy and life-force.

Guides say that it strengthens your connection to them to get your guide's name directly from them, rather than being told their name by another guide. Orin also tells people, "Do not attach too much importance to having your guide's name in the beginning. In our realm we know each other by energy patterns, and we seek a name that most fits with our energy, including names we had in other lifetimes.

You may wonder what it feels like to channel your soul instead of a guide. Many of you are not aware of what your soul feels like, so it is hard for you to tell the difference between your soul's thoughts and the transmissions of your guide. We will refer to your soul as your innermost self that exists outside of this dimension, lives on after you die, remembers all your lifetimes, chooses your next lifetime and growth opportunities, and so on. We have used the words "soul," "innermost self," and "higher self" interchangeably. Unless you are aware of very subtle differences, it may be difficult at an experiential level for you to determine whether you are channeling a guide or bringing through the wisdom of your soul. You can become more aware of the distinction with time and practice. In addition, guides themselves will let you know in some way that they are not your soul, but a separate entity.

There is a widely held belief that the imagination is not to be trusted and that only things scientifically real and provable can be relied on. Yet, many of your greatest scientific inventions comes from the imagination. [...] Everything in your reality existed as a thought before it existed in reality.

After several years of channeling, [my spirit guide,] Orin told me that he wanted to teach me about the future and probably realities. For a period of several months, he gave me various preditions which came true. Several times he gave me exact newspaper headlines and dates, several months prior to their occurring. All the predictions centered around mass events. In all these events he would point out that they were already being set up, envisioned and planned by those in charge and he was only projecting events by reading the mass mind and probably outcomes. He told me that large scale event are easier to predict because they have energy lines from mass consciousness set up many months in advance. The psychic weight of these events, the mass agreement around them, the numbers of people involved, make it much harde to stop or change such events. One person can change his mind and thus change his future easily; but an event affecting many people is not usually altered by just one person changing his mind.

Your personality may be comparing your new potential reality to the one you are living and find something lacking.

When I observe people channeling, I see a real difference in their energy fields as they shift out of what they call their "intuitive" selves —which I see as a harmonizing and smoothing of their energies —and into the guides' space, pulling information and a boost of energy from somewhere outside of themselves. When I talk to people and point out to them when I see the shift, they can usually identify a change at the same time in their physical sensations, in their thoughts, or in the messages they are receiving.

People ask, "Why is my guide always present when I call?" Let us explain that we exist in a world beyond time and space, and when we commit to work with you, we are aware of the whole range of our work together. If you change your mind, that changes the picture, but from moment to moment we have a whole picture of our work with you. We experience no time between our sessions with you. To us, there is no stop or start, but only a continuous thread consisting of our time together. When you channel, a part of us is once again in your Universe, that part of us does not know linear time and is still aware of our last time together. We often experience this as you might experience a telephone line when the connection fades in and out. We simply wait for the next strong connection. We are of a much vaster consciousness than you are. We can handle thousands of things at once. Our connection to you takes up a very small portion of our overall awareness, and part of our commitment to you is to maintain a steady clear channel whenever you call.

There is another reason for recording what you channel. Once you record the words they become part of your reality. They will assist you in creating even higher wisdom in the physical world. Every time you record your words, you are taking a step toward manifesting them, bringing them closer to physical reality.
