Well, this run of violent indigestion followed by the loss of my previous
meal only lasts for about 12 hours and I'm fine...in fact, by the time the
nausea ends I'm starving.  So I eat.  And, I'm fine.  I've been through
ultrasounds and x-rays and an Upper G.I. and they still don't know why I'm
sick.  Ah well, maybe soon.
That is highly possible.
Yes, please tell me.  Also, remind me....where do you live?
And please answer the following...the answers will help me pinpoint a few
things.
What type of building do you live in?  (house, apartment, studio, loft,
etc.)?  Is it just you in the house, if not how many people live with you?
How many do you sense?
Thanks for the answers.
Sounds good to me.  I'll talk it up with some of my friends who are
interested in channeling.  Maybe we can get some more activity.

Well, you may be open to the experience of seeing spirits, but that doesn't
necessarily mean that you will see them all the time like some people do (I
do see them all the time).  Sometimes the harder you try the less likely
you'll be to make contact.  It depends on what you are doing to try.
Do me a favor...I may be able to help you long distance.  Tell me the city
and state where you live...and if you live in a small town, please give me
the nearest large city.
Tell me if you live in a house or apartment, etc.  And, approximately how
old the building in which you live is.  That'll be a start for me.

This is a very common occurrence when there are guardians around.  They
will watch out for you, and sometimes try to interfere during a crisis, as
in your case.  Your grandfather probably thought that he was going to be a
big help and help you land on the grass or on your feet with no
problem...but as they say, no two objects can occupy the same place at the
same time.  He didn't mean it to happen, it was just an accident.  As for
the car, if he had an attachment to his car in his lifetime then he is
probably still attached to it.
Thanks, that will help me pinpoint you when I go to open a channel.  Please
tell me about the experiences with your great grandmother.
Okay, that helps.  Sometimes I have people who swear up and down that there
is a *poltergeist* living in their house and then I find out that there is
a teenager in the house and that there is a lot of fighting going on
between parents and child....that can produce energy that acts like an
entity....Your activity would be considered actual spirit activity.
Tell me what you see.
Tell me what you sense.
This way I can be sure that I am contacting what you have there, not
something that's slipping through the cracks.

Write your reply.

assistant: Howdy All!
I just wondered do any of the participants in here think that we could get
more envolvment in here if we changed the name to CHANNELING instead of
CHANNELS?  When I first saw this echo drop off the elist I didn't re-list
it the 1st month because I didn't know what it was about.  Channels could
have been anything.  Then the 2nd month I read that CHANNELS was about
CHANNELING and I immediately re-listed the echo to keep it alive.
What renaming it involves is setting a time 4 weeks from now for the name
change to be effective.  Then elisting the new name and announcing the name
change in here and in other administrative echos at least weekly.  The last
week contacting the Z-Hubs and Echolist Administrator to make sure they
know to change it and then on Saturday before the change occurs NetMailing
each of them to make sure they make the change over.
So let me know what you think.  I think this is one way we can not only get
new participants from the new understanding but we also get the new name
advertised in the administrative echos so other SysOps may AREAFIX it for
their BBS.  Let me know between now and April 1st and if we decide to do it
I will send in the first notification on April 1st and start the ball
rolling.

Answering a msg of <11 Mar 98>, from BOBBY QUEEN to ALL:
Yes, Bobby.  I think a name change to CHANNELING might attract more interest
to the area.  (Come to think of it though, I don't know if most mailers and
tossers can handle a tag line with that many letters in it.  Do you?)
There's a lot of wonderful channeling going on on the planet right now.
These Teachers are wonderful blessings to humanity.  It's a shame that more
people aren't picking up on it.  I think what is happening right now on this
planet is astounding.  Is anyone here familiar with what is happening in the
Urantia movement's "Teaching Mission"?  An incredible revelation is going on
there that most people do not even know about.
Not to mention the Urantia Book, A Course in Miracles, Bartholemew, Emmanuel,
Seth, etc.  Wonderful wonderful revelations.

 Hi Paige --
  This may take awhile to get to you, but I thought I'd respond now, so I
wouldn't forget  in the future.
 I've found that by Blessing my area, the negativities that others can leave
around you become  self evident.  In other words, they show themselves
immediately thus can be dealt  with immediately.  Sage incense, and a
combination of Frankincense & Myrhh will cleanse and Bless the area.
Focusing the Light of Love, that you use to protect yourself like armour will
also return the negativity to it's original source.  Please understand, I'm
not saying to put a "curse" or use Magic against someone, I'm suggesting that
as you meditate you command that all that is from the dark return to whence
they came.  In this way you are just acting as a tool of the Infinites Karma,
sending everything back in it's own loop, so to speak.
Blessings from the Sea's of the Light,
Guardian

Oh, absolutely.  Just when you think there's no other way out, they just
pop down and <ZAP!> something happens.  There have been other times when I
know the Divine has worked something out for me.  This stuff is wonderful
at times.
Good luck.  That place that hired too many people...that tells you
something about the company.  Someone's asleep at the switch or there
wouldn't have been an overflow of workers hired.  The boss I have has a
policy of hiring people that need him and who he needs.  In essence, Frank
needs someone who is determined to work hard to increase their postion and
finances...and I need a boss who understands that I have two tiny tots and
need this job to support my family.  The two of us seem to fit together
really well.  I told him today that for a little while until I'm really
familiar with the office I'm going to make mistakes and I will apologize
for them....but, I intend to learn from my mistakes. That is something that
this boss really values.
You know, I just knew this job interview had clicked after I was
done...everything just went sooooo well.  I'm glad I'm at this new job.
It's just what I've been looking for.  And, if I can get some good solid
years in with this small company, then maybe if I feel the need to move on
I can go to something a bit bigger.
