Surrender

I had surgery last week. I’ll tell you a lot more about that later, but for now I have to share a channeling that just came through this morning.

I’ve been very curious, and a little nervous, about how general anesthesia would affect my ability to do channeling work. On top of that, I used narcotic painkillers for several days after surgery, which is a far cry from the caffeine-free, alcohol-free, aspirin-or-any-kind-of-drug-free life I usually live. I try to avoid stimulants and depressants when I can because I never want to wonder if something I’ve channeled was influenced by them.

My plan was to wait four or five days to make sure the drugs were out of my system physically, then for my energy to adjust to having them gone. Then I would try channeling. Instead, two days after ceasing those drugs, I woke up to a channeled message coming through me like a voice in my mind that definitely wasn’t my own.  I got out of bed, wrote it down, then formally accessed the Records to make sure it was real.  It was real, and here it is:

“You are the ones you’ve been waiting for. We talked about this several months ago, and too few of you are acting on it. You can no longer afford to live with the emotional and behavioral patterns that hold you back – that tell you there is something wrong with you or that you have to prove something.

Don’t you understand? If you are reading this, you are one of the enlightened ones. It is time to start acting like it.

Today, map out a plan for the next day, week, month, or year. Think of something you want to accomplish, big or small, and map out what it will take to get there. Then take note of the few things on that map that you can control or influence, and make a plan to do those things.

Finally, and most importantly, take note of the many things on that map that you cannot control or influence much. List those, and decide right now to surrender. Know in your heart what you hope for, and then surrender those to your higher self and the angels watching over this plan.

It is time to stop trying to prove your worth, or to attain something different from the divine path you are walking now. You are here to help lead humanity to a new age, and your leadership will not occur because you have achieved something in particular. It will occur because you develop a deep sense of peace as you go about your plans, and that peace becomes something everyone wants to follow.

You do not need to work so hard. Humanity cannot afford to have you indulge any further in self-hatred or criticism. You are the ones you have been waiting for, and the people around you are waiting to learn from you how to surrender the fight and step into peace and joy right now!”

This is one of the first times I have ever received a channeled message without formally accessing the Akashic Records, and honestly I didn't really like it. For one part, it felt a little bit like getting a lecture from the Keepers right when I wanted to be snuggling and sleeping!

But the dislike goes deeper. For years I have resisted any channeling that comes without my conscious consent. I’ll admit it – just like the channeling tells us, I prefer to feel as if I am in control of how Spirit moves through me. So I suppose this is my opportunity to surrender to what is rather than to strive to create what I think it should be.

I remain curious about how my recent surgical adventure will continue to affect my channeling. Did the spontaneous morning message come because I had just removed the narcotics from my system? Were those kinds of messages there all along and I was just too tired to block them out this time? Who knows, but you can bet I’ll keep you updated on what I find out!

Let's Talk

I usually host one Live Channeling event each month, but this week brings two extra events. Last night I hosted a channeling called “Year 2011: What’s Next?” It was fascinating (and a little overwhelming) to take a look at the energy for the year now that we are halfway through.

Tomorrow night I will be hosting an unusual event. I’ll be on the phone for an hour or so to talk about the Akashic Records. There will be no channeling -- just me as a regular person talking to you about what it's like to work as a channeler. This is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time and I’m really excited to speak with some of you and answer your questions about my work, the Akashic Records, and any other spiritual topics you’d like to explore.

You will be able to ask me questions about the work I do with the Akashic Records, and about the Records themselves. You can also ask about how the Monthly, Weekly, and Daily messages work, or about other channelings on my website. We will have a group conversation about how the Akashic Records fit into the New Age movement and how you can work with them in your everyday life.

I’m excited for the chance to speak with you, person-to-person -- something that doesn’t really happen when I am channeling.

If you can’t make it tomorrow night, feel free to send your questions via email. If tomorrow’s phone call goes well, I will likely host another chat in the coming months, so be sure to watch for that, too!

Notice a Theme?

Every month, I host a Live Channeling through my website. These events take place by conference call so people can call in from anywhere, and they always feature a topic that I get from the Akashic Records. I do a channeling in my own, personal Akashic Records every couple of months to find out what topics would be most beneficial for everyone, and then I plan events to bring you those topics.

Last week I posted the new Channeling Events for the remainder of 2011. Here’s what we’ve got coming up:

June 15 – “Adam and Eve: The Final Chapter in Gender Duality”

July 13 – “Light in the Darkness: How to Hold Hope When Others Falter”

August 10 – “The Search is Over: Find Emotional Fulfillment Now”

September 21 – “Year 2012: The Year of the Wheel”

November 9 – “Bliss: Find Infinity Within the Boundaries of Your Life”

December 7 – “Time and Space: Understand the Power of Third Dimensional Reality” 

Do you notice a theme? I don’t think I would see it on first glance, but luckily I get to cheat by seeing how they all fit together when I look at them in the Records. The theme is, as we are preparing for 2012, that we must work with what we have rather than try to transcend it or clear it away.

Look at the titles -- finding emotional fulfillment now, achieving bliss by managing boundaries, and using time and space instead of being limited by them – all of these ideas are based on accepting the constraints of our lives instead of resisting them. When we do that, we can work with them rather than being in constant denial or struggle. And this puts us in a powerful position to make changes.

I think this might be the key to what’s to come after 2012. If we are creating Heaven on Earth, then that means we are working with what’s here on Earth. There is no more time for denying our circumstances, or for waiting to transcend them.

Maybe the theme of 2012 should be No More Waiting. No more waiting for the second coming, no more waiting for the apocalypse – nope, it’s just us here and now. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.

I’m excited to hear what will come from the Akashic Records in the next few months because I’m hoping we’ll all get more information about the joy of embracing our lives and making the very best of them!

(PS – If you’re wondering why there is not a topic for October – it's because I didn’t get a one from the Records. There was a sense that something important is happening that month that is not yet foreseeable. I think the topic will come when we get closer, which just makes me incredibly curious about what it will be. Stay tuned – I will post this on my website calendar as soon as I have it!)

Fevered State of Mind

After my last two posts, many people have asked how illness influences my ability to do Channelings. Does illness make me more open to the Akashic Records, or does it cause a blockage?

I have paid careful attention to this over the years. The first time I tried channeling with an illness, I was apprehensive and took special care to make sure I was really channeling despite my foggy mind and sniffly nose.

To my great relief, I’ve found that illness doesn’t interfere with the clarity of channeling at all. The only problem an illness can cause is simply that I feel more tired and uncomfortable as I work, which really isn’t different from any other activities. This is especially true when I have a cold, because channeling involves lots and lots of talking!

When I’m sick, information from the Akashic Records comes through just fine, and even better in some cases. That’s right, even better.

You might wonder, How can that be? 

There is one special symptom that improves my channeling abilities -- a fever.

While any other form of illness seems to have no effect, when I have a fever the information actually appears more clearly. I think the slightly altered state of fever leads my mind to relax and allow the information to come through more easily. The filters that I might usually impose on the information get thinner, and the nonlinear nature of Akashic information becomes more available. It’s almost like I’m having a psychedelic vision!

I’ve thought about how I might try to access this fevered state more in my channeling work. I think perhaps this what people are seeking when they use psychedelic drugs. So far, I’m not willing to use drugs or other artificial ways to access that state of mind. But I do strive to be as open and clear as possible in my life in order to make space for my mind to truly open to the Records when I’m channeling. I trust that our bodies and minds are made for this, so I try to work with what I’ve got.

I’m curious about how illness, and particularly fever, might affect people who are clairvoyant or psychic. Are you one of those people? And for the rest of us, How does illness affect your intuition?
