You might ask, how did you ever get started with this channelling thing?
And the other, implied, question – how do you ever start believing in this stuff?
In my opinion, both questions are one. After all, I came into the concept of channelling somewhat reluctantly, and with some doubts. Namely, how do I know that this ‘channel’ person really is bringing across information from elsewhere, and not making it up? Even if the channel is sincere, and thinks they are bringing information across, how do I know it is really happening?
Good questions all, and ones that weren’t answered in one day.
In my particular case, a friend fairly raved about the channelling she had been going to for quite a while, and said that I should try it.
I put it off at first, but since I am well aware that there is more going on than I can see, and I was curious, I agreed to go with her one night. I promised to go with an open mind, but I also made it quite clear that if I didn’t like it – I would not be back.
But on that qualification, I went.
At that time, we went to a fairly average middle-class house, and went down to a nicely finished basement where seats and couches were arranged in a square where we sat down and waited for it to start.
The time to start came, and the lady who was to channel, Judy Crookes, explained what channelling was. That she was a conscious channel who stayed ‘here’ for the channelling, and was aware of what was being said. The Guide, Jacob, would come into her energy, and he would conduct the session.
As she channelled, I was aware of a couple of things. First, her personality changed a lot. I know, she could have been acting, but I always have had well-developed instincts about if I am being lied to. I could tell that there was no acting going on. And the body movements changed as well.
Plus, no offense to Judy, who is an intelligent individual in her own right, this Jacob had a perspective and a point of view about what ‘he’ said that intrigued me. It was a higher perspective that really seemed to make sense to me.
Oddly enough, my instincts told me this was a good thing.
No, I didn’t become an avid ‘believer’ then, or ever. In fact, Jacob said to take things with discretion and to only take and use what he said if and only if it felt right with us. At no time did he ever insist on blind faith, or try to browbeat anybody to say, think, or do anything against their will. I consider that a refreshing attitude.
I continued to go and hear Judy channel Jacob and what was said always resonated positively with me. And speaking for myself of course, I feel my life has gone better because of that.
By now I have been hearing Jacob for better than four years, and I have never regretted it.
In October of 2008, Judy and Jacob started a class so we could learn to channel for ourselves. Both Birdy and I jumped at the chance, so we could expand our knowledge and skills by becoming channels ourselves.
It was like being given an unlimited library pass to the universe! We took it very seriously, and we knew almost from the first that we were going on a very unique path, and at the first opportunity we would be doing channelling full-time.
But I’ve never forgotten my earlier doubts. How do I get verification for what I/we bring across? The quick answer is: you can’t, at least not all of the time.
However, I feel that at least some of the time, I could use channelling to find the evidence to verify what is being said. Plus, can I prove that channelling as a phenomenon really exists? And lastly, with the help of my Guides, as well as my Unseen Friends, can experiments be conducted that can create solid evidence for the process of channelling as well as some of the stuff we bring across while channelling?
I feel we can. Some things we’ll prove, some things we’ll blow out of the water, and we’ll maybe uncover other avenues to explore. Who knows?
Birdy & Mike up here in the Crow’s Nest , inviting you to join us as we set sail for distant lands. Some of them are completely new, some have been explored before, but all have wondrous things to offer and exciting tales to tell.
Along the way you’ll meet people wearing shapes you didn’t expect (or none at all), view lands as-yet-unseen by human eyes, and explore the answers to some of life’s questions, big & small.
To keep harmony, everyone in the ship’s company must follow a few simple rules.
1. Respect one another, even if, and especially when, you disagree.
2. Intelligent debate and discussions are welcomed.
3. Comments will be moderated, but not censored. i.e., we will not bounce a comment merely for disagreeing with us. We will, however, bounce with great glee any & all comments that, in our opinions, do not follow Rules 1 & 2.
That’s it really.
So come stow your gear and we’ll show you the ropes. Enjoy the voyage! It’s going to be a wonder-full ride!
