Angels & Masters
|
About four months after we got Daisy, my four channeling angels suddenly left and never returned. I am still saddened that at the very moment that this happened, I forgot their names and have never been able to recall them; a most odd thing for me. However, in their wake came Archangel Michael. The process of coming to know him was fascinating. My initial feelings of awe at his presence and being humbled that a being as great as an Archangel would allow himself to be channelled through me didn’t find much favour with him! He was very quick to point out that we are one and the same thing, from the same source and of the same substance; only our experiences distinguished between us. He regarded me as an equal and insisted that I reciprocate. His manner was open and familiar, and although in nearly all things related to emotion he appeared totally neutral, Michael certainly tried to demonstrate empathy. In comparison with the four guides, he had a much more clearly defined personality; and curiously, he obviously had a sense of humour.
After a very short time he requested that I push back the boundaries of the service I was performing and from that point onward, the whole nature of my channeling underwent a radical transformation. He requested that instead of speaking in my head, I now allow him to speak through me. This would involve utilising my voice box whilst I absented myself from my body. Sharon was to act as my audience and he would relay information to her that she could then record.
This was a very daunting prospect indeed and it took me weeks of trying before I was able to let go enough control for this to happen. The experience almost defies description and I can only say that at first it felt a bit like somebody was jumping into my body. It was very uncomfortable and frightening and took a long time to get used to. Once Michael was there, I would hear words that I instantly forgot and see pictures that, I quickly learnt, related to what was being said. I could see people and places; images that seemed to represent concepts; other planets and worlds; historical events; lifetimes passing by in an instant. There seemed to be no end to what I was being exposed to.
At first these sessions were brief. After five minutes I would be tired and totally ‘spaced out’ and have difficulty feeling myself connected to my body. ‘Ungrounded’ is the term I came to know. Gradually I became more accustomed to the experience, but then Michael would extend the amount of time that he was speaking through me and further adjustments to my state of being would be necessary.
After several weeks Michael revealed that he would like me to try channeling other beings. By now I was a little more confident so it didn’t take too much to persuade me. However, when we were visited by other Archangels, I was surprised at how different the sensation was. Their energy and even their method of entering my body varied from being to being. Sharon was also quite surprised at how different they were. When Michael spoke his voice was very similar to mine but Archangel Raphael had a slightly deeper voice; Gabriel’s was softer, another’s louder or more forceful. They explained that it was an issue of how they were able to utilise my vocal chords and with practice, each became more proficient at communicating through me. Over time, Sharon could recognise their individual voices without them making their customary introduction of themselves.
The big shock came when I started to channel what were described as Ascended Masters. These were beings that had been human and had, across the course of many lifetimes, managed to fulfil their criteria for learning and soul progression. Now they chose to help those on their ascension pathway rather than move on to their next learning roles. They assumed the presence of one of their incarnations and spoke with accents. Sharon became well accustomed to speaking with individuals from the Far East, Middle East, India, Tibet and others. They weren’t just men either! When a lady master visited, very significant changes in my voice occurred. Again, the ability to manipulate my vocal chords was a matter of practice and some managed this easily whilst others struggled at first. In particular, an Egyptian Master named Serapis Bey who visited very frequently was unable to get a consistent accent out of my voice box!
The physical experience of channeling masters was quite unlike that of channeling the angels. The energies were more difficult to manage in their after effect and I would frequently be very tired after their visits. However, this did not prevent their experimentation with pushing back the boundaries of how long I could hold their energies; nor did it affect my willingness to try. In their presence I rarely stirred physically, and upon their exit, I would often find my body wracked with pain and cramps, as well as being dehydrated.
At one point Michael asked me to try ‘fully conscious channeling’, the simultaneous existence of both his presence and mine in my body. Whilst it was fascinating (since it allowed me to see the audience i.e. Sharon through their eyes), they were unable to get my blink reflex to work and the entire session was done without any eye movement at all. By the end my eyes had completely dried up and were extremely painful. It also looked, according to Sharon, very creepy as I appeared to be blankly staring in a most unnatural way. I've never done it again since.
Through these sessions, a vast amount of information was revealed to us and we began to get into the practice of both asking for and receiving guidance about all sorts of issues. They would be very careful not to reveal any information about the future and any guidance offered was utterly neutral if it came from the angels themselves. They would certainly make it known if things were ‘meant to be’, but beyond that, if we needed more specific information around which there were issues of free will, we would have to ask a Master. They would invariably be more forthright. However, with both angels and Masters, our freedom of choice in all matters was always emphasized.
The training process seemed to go well. Getting to grips with who was who was sometimes difficult because many of the angels had strange and unfamiliar names that had not been featured in the books that I had read. Interestingly, they explained that the need for naming them was a very human thing since they considered themselves to all be one and the same. Having walked the earth, many of the Masters could be looked up on the internet and extensively researched.
By the time Michael announced that my training was complete, I had channeled at least two dozen different beings, some repeatedly; and although they would always be the ones to determine who was going to visit with me on any particular occasion, I was now told that we could ask to speak to any one of them at will. I was also asked if I would be prepared to be an ‘open’ channel. This meant that they could tap into my consciousness to give me information at any time, without having to wait for me to initiate the contact. At first I feared this meant that I would perpetually be hearing voices in my head; but they reassured me that I would have the capability to ‘turn it off’ at will. However, they could ‘turn it back on’ if it was important to do so.
Over time we came to trust pretty much everything that we heard. Certainly there were situations when the information coming to us seemed non-sensical or too far-fetched for words. Mostly however, this was an issue of ego. For instance, when Michael told us that everything that I had done in my career to date had merely been a preparation for what I was to do with the information I was being given now, I was horrified. When he then went on to say that in my work I already channeled information, with the implication being that it was pretty much all I did, I was indignant!
It was certainly true to say that across the course of my career, I had developed a somewhat unique ability to deliver material. It was a point of great pride with me that I never needed to use notes. Nor did I prepare for a session unless it involved development exercises; and even these I could conjure up, seemingly at will, out of nowhere. I would turn up to run a week long training course with nothing more than a flimsy outline plan, usually written on a scrappy piece of paper. I would have no idea of what I would say and then just stand there and extemporise. Yet I would get outstanding results and had achieved success far in excess of even my own expectations.
“Where”, Michael asked, “did I think this ability came from?” I squirmed for a little while before conceding that words just seemed to come into my head. In fact I was never at a loss for words, never floored by a question, and never short of the ability to fill the remit a client had given me. “All channeled” he said. Reluctantly I had to admit that in hindsight, it was obvious. But it still took a lot for me to swallow my pride and admit that I was more charmed than brilliant.
It occurred to me when I was given this information that I was only now agreeing to become an open channel and it had to be with my express consent. Yet Michael had previously told me that when I presented in the workplace I was channeling. How was it possible when at that time I did not even know what channeling was and certainly had not given permission? It was explained – as if it were obvious - that of course, I had been channeling my higher self.
What is a higher self?
We all have a higher self. It is the direct source from which we come and is in turn a sub division of an angelic being. It is us in our purest light form, but there are many aspects to it or, if you prefer, beings that come from it. These are all parts of us and may be incarnated at the same time as us although they are equally as likely to be in another time in another galaxy, far, far away! These are known as our ‘twin flames’. This is not the same as the romantic notion of a soul mate. In fact, if you were to meet them, you are as likely to be repelled by them as you are to be attracted to them.
You return to your higher self when you are transitioning between one life and the next. At this point you become part of it and are therefore privy to all of the experiences and knowledge gained across all of your lifetimes as well as that of all of your twin flames across all of their lifetimes. As you may imagine, the volume of information and wisdom is vast.
Whilst we are incarnated, our higher self basically has a watching brief over us. It plays no direct part in our lives but is something that we can get in contact with so as to receive advice, wisdom and guidance. A lot of what people dismiss as instinct or gut feeling is really their higher self talking to them. It is because of our high level of sentience and absolute right to our freedom of choice that our higher self has no direct ability to influence our lives. However, if you are open to it, you have the capability to receive the wisdom it may impart to you via your subconscious, which is the part of your brain that maintains contact.
When I am presenting, quite unconsciously, I receive information from my higher self to my great benefit. Somewhat unusually I had already developed this ability by the time I began channeling. This is why I was able to hear the voice in my head saying “May I?” with such ease and clarity. Although it was not my higher self speaking to me at that point, the access point was open that allowed this contact. It didn't make me special. It was simply what I had always done in previous lifetimes and had committed to do in this one!
After a very short time he requested that I push back the boundaries of the service I was performing and from that point onward, the whole nature of my channeling underwent a radical transformation. He requested that instead of speaking in my head, I now allow him to speak through me. This would involve utilising my voice box whilst I absented myself from my body.
