Q: Are there more beings/entities being channeled today than ever before or does it just seem so to me? Is a council of beings better or more advanced than one entity? If not, why do they call themselves such? Why do some entities offer information through some channels but not through others? And why does the same entity sound different depending upon who channels them? Lastly, I am considering contacting a channeler for a session, is it better to ask for a reading or a healing and should I prefer information or guidance?
A: Well, well . . . what are we to make of so many questions? What a convoluted mess this business of channeling has become, or so it would seem. Let us be clear, simple and direct in detangling the strands of confusion you have dressed yourself in today and see if we cannot put matters to rest. Your questions are valid, and because you have filled me with humor I am rapt to engender a fulfilling response!
Dimensional teachers, beings, entities, energies, masters, councils, etc. in service to humanity at this time number approach the one-hundred-billion mark. If every human upon the earth at this time had access to only one guide they would already number over six-billion, because there are at least that many humans upon the surface of the earth today. If everyone had access to more than one guide or angel, for instance, the number would quickly double to over twelve billion. By recognizing that access to the infinite realms is truly infinite, one hundred billion becomes a fairly legitimate number, wouldn't you agree?
Is this more or less than before? It depends. More or less than before what or when? What gauge are we to use? The present New Age arguably emerged in the latter half of nineteenth century Europe, established a presence within Northern America in the early twentieth century where it took root and continued to flourish, establishing itself as a movement, a philosophy of life, and even a religion by some accounts. Doubtless, the numbers of those of who believe in life-everlasting and the power of creative thought as the ordination of the soul has continued to soar. That being the case, are there more entities present to invite channelers to step forward, or are there more channelers who are open and willing to host teachers and guides?
I would postulate the following, leaving the rest to your own discernment: Long held attitudes and beliefs regarding mediumship and the ability of unique and 'chosen' individuals to enter and remain in trance-like states, both elevated and mystified the craft and those who were attracted to it. Recent decades have opened minds, lifted veils and allowed old beliefs to dissolve and resolve structural patterns. Furthermore, the descent of organized religions that have been unable or unwilling to empower their followers have contributed to the ascent of the seeker in discovering the divine within himself or herself. The turn of the latest century marker [2000] also signaled duality entering triplicity, or the three-fold unity of the knower knowing that which can be known. In other words, just as the last millennium was empowered to maintain the mysterious and the secret, this millennium will be remembered as one that disgorged the same.
While all spiritual teachers do not participate in councils, most are plural/multi-dimensional forms of energy and it would be rare for them to relate to other energies as singular or individual life forms. Humanity's awareness is shifting almost daily, yet I suggest as an example, that while the presence of one UFO would intrigue humanity and the presence of two or three amaze it and make it newsworthy, a fleet of unidentified craft would frighten it beyond measure. Likewise, knowledge of the full extent of a multi-dimensional teacher would render many teachings ineffable, because the student might suffer under the oppressive flag of insignificance and unworthiness. That is why the emphasis must always be placed upon the teaching rather than the teacher - any and all instances where this is not the case should be placed under the watchful eye of scrutiny and reviewed often!
Councils are representative and advisory disciplines that express tenets, principles, theories and beliefs associated with a body of knowledge. Rather than libraries where the learner must ascend the steps of the assembly, councils are akin to mobile libraries that transcend dimension through consciousness, entering the thought process where and when the doctrine the council espouses can be readily received and shared. That is why, for instance, there may be many more channels (open sources) of councils than of other entities or beings. Who belongs to the councils and how many members do they have? That is difficult to answer because their number is measured in participatory frequencies rather than by count; even physical human beings may serve as council participants at different levels of consciousness. Councils are neither better nor more advanced than other beings; they are arranged by interest and subject and not ranked by God per se.
Entities and teachers choose their physical companions and vice-versa. Some relationships are as established as the universe itself and are reciprocal in nature; the role of student/initiate (chela) and master teacher reversing itself through ages that span approximately 26,000 years. These relationships become almost seamless in their ability to convey thought through the symbolic, which then becomes experience. As we have already said, an entity as a teacher is not more or less advanced than a council, but the teaching can take on a mentor-like quality in contrast to the vast resource that is a council. These are suggestive qualities by way of our dialogue and are not indicative of all relationships - this must be clearly understood.
The relationship between a channel and his spiritual teacher is as interesting and diverse as life itself and no two are alike. There are guidelines that must be adhered to, which are designed to expand horizons of thought, unleash human potential and dispel illusion. It sounds like mouthful, but basically means that a channel must learn when to speak as his or herself, when to speak the words as Spirit intends them, and when to be silent. Spirit is purposeful in its words and does not chatter for the sake of conversation as humans often do. Beginning channelers are often tempted to fill in the blanks as it were, when Spirit would otherwise call for a moment's contemplations. A channel is a conductor of energy, not words, and this important point must remain at the forefront of all that is offered or sustained.
