assistant: Hi Christina,
What are the differences in the space between the 2 methods i.e. how
did you feel emotionally, spiritually, physically etc after channeler
in both methods or is there no difference?
I imagine in conscious channeler that there is no difference between
the before and the after of the channeling session.
informed
It must have been good for your husband to have that contact:)
No I didn't find out. The spirit I'm told got annoyed at my refusal to
have unconscious channeling done by my friend and left.
I was at a psychic development course and someone told me that she
saw a woman behind me and from the description I wondered if it was
the spirit I'm talking about.
I don't feel that this woman is a guide of mine. If this spirit was
Catherine Helen Spence then thanks I would be interested in what you
could do in this. I see in her something of a kindred spirit.
Thanks:)

That would be good and at the same time a little disturbing. They and
I have had disagreements.
Once I got this message from a guide. I was having difficulties with
my sister. Then I got this message to accept her the way she was.
(After all how can I expect people to be clones of my expectations?!)
So I told my sister how I had had this message. My sister was so
insulted and saw it as patronizing.
Anyway one day the guide was in my kitchen and the guide was there as
well and my sister. (Now I can't see spirits but my sister can) and I
started complaining how the guide had got me into trouble.
He started laughing.She says he told her that I had not been able to
understand the message properly and there was no need for me to have
told my sister of the message.

assistant: Hi Christina,
That's how I see it, but I have met people who seem to be
uncomfortable with this.
I imagine my guides are around me because
they need me in some way, and so i imagine it is for everyone and
their guides.
ontacting
him/her
I also suppose that some people are more inclined to giving away their
autonomy than others.
I imagine that there are some people on the planet who are more
spiritually evolved than some of the beings who are currently guides.
Well I know I have said some things that have challenged
the beliefs of some. Or should I say that people have tried to tell me
how something is and I have not accepted their view.
No hurry:)
Questions are very important to me:)  They're how I learn.

assistant: attraction -- broken down into karma (inharmonious) and grace
  (harmonious). Everyone and everything is in a state of evolution,
  growth and learning.  So everything one does, thinks and feels affects
  not only self growth but that of the entire Universe!!  In Lemuria we
  used the sacred symbol of the spider web to illustrate this. The good
  news is that with Universal Wisdom, which includes many facets like
  forgiveness, detachment, unconditional love, surrender, trust, and
  quite a few others, one can affect changes in self and others that feel
  harmonious and add to the grace of the Universe.
  There are other very good books on this subject.  Journey Of Souls by
  Dr. Michael Newton; Earth - A Pleiadian Perspective To The Living
  Library by Barbara Marciniak; and Return Of The Bird Tribes by Ken

Well, not just that, there are some guides that you need, just as there are
guides who need you.
ontacting
him/her
Yes, and there are some that just plain aren't skilled enough to learn to
differentiate themself from those entities they channel.
Challenging someone's beliefs is not heresay.  Everyone is entitled to
their own path.  Why should someone try to change how someone else
believes?  You are perfectly within your rights to not accept something
that does not fit with your path.
I can answer how to keep a channel clear...I have my own system of filters
in place.  These are barriers that I have constructed out of my own
energies that allow certain things in and keep other things out.  I always
have a channel open and monitored so that I can keep in touch with the
spirit realm.
As for telling the difference between messages and my own unconscious mind,
that's easy for me...I see the spirits that I am in contact with before I
channel them.  The ones on the other side of the veil appear briefly before
I channel them.  This is not to be confused with the other ability I have
to see and hear the spirits on this plain...that is totally different than
channeling.
As for some qualities...I think it takes good concentration and a hefty
does of self-esteem.  If you don't have good concentration you can cloud
the channel and lose the entity before you've received the entire message.
If you don't have good self-esteem, you are open to being taken over by
those entities that you channel.
If you don't ask questions, how do you learn?

Maybe because she likes you and sees you as a noble soul:)
Well she was interested in social & political reform. She was
important in the process of SA giving the vote to women in 1894.
I see her as someone who wanted to build a better society.
I don't know much about her I've never really concentrated too much
on SA history. I could tell you quite a bit about Australian history
but of my own state I know very little.
We're a small state.
I have more of a feel for her rather than a knowledge of her.
I can tell you this that there is a group of people ( on the other
side) I have wanted to connect with. She is one of them.
The idea as I understand it is to do some work both in terms of a
theoretical base and by action in promoting a nurturing society. I
think I'm a long way from understanding the project.
There are reasons why I want to connect with these people. Perhaps
it's important that you are a part of this too.
Do you have any interests in education, politics ( and I don't mean
party politics, I'm talking in terms of ideas,) social reform, writing
and there is probably more facets of her life I could give.
I think she went to the US for a while.
I'll have a little think again. However what about getting it from the
horse's mouth?:)
I hope she is going to be around a bit more.
Regards
Peter

Yes being grounded in the mundane is pretty important. Sometimes we

Ah yes but I think they think they're always right. They're not, you

Yeah, I knew that but I didn't think telling my sister was the
inappropriate thing to do. I'll know next time <G>

How are you with nature spirits?  Someone told me once they thought
this nature spirit was trying to communicate with me. Quite a while
ago now.
I'm organizing this camp in Feb, and I want to attract some nature
spirits & some guides to be involved in the process.
The camp is for a broadly based spiritual group
I'm also running a workshop at the camp which i think I will entitle
"Shamanism, Deep Ecology, Ritual & Meditation".
