This will be the final part in this series. Do I believe Deep Trance Channelling is authentic? Yes I do. I have a couple of reasons.
First -
It would be a sad life, I think, to go through with the belief that all you have done, all you have experienced and learnt will just go phhssssst and disappear like a snuffed out candle as you close your eyes for the last time. How sad. How pointless. Don't misunderstand me. I don't in any way support the dogma and belief systems of ANY of the mainstream religions and I wholeheartedly urge you to also disassociate yourself from them as well.
Why? Well, you just don't need them! This is getting a bit off the track here, but, can I suggest a good read of history, or a newspaper to put you off of organised religion. Religion is for people who can't be bothered thinking for themselves. They need someone to give them a set of rules and dogma to live by (whether it's right or wrong, outdated, impossible, provable or not [faith?]). I personally don't need that at all - and neither do you!
I live by a "reverence for all that is". A respect if you like. I tread litely and give thanks. And, in so doing, "all that is" returns the favor. I look upon everything (all that is) as my friend. I try to live my life in the vibration of love, harmony and gratitude. That's it! How wonderfully simple - and effective!
Everything is made of energy - everything. So if you are looking for "God" you really don't have to look very far. We are an integral part of that energy grid. I'll put it to you that, by your thoughts, you have quite a bit of control of that energy (all that is). The thing that is your thoughts, memories, personality, etc. is energy, and as such, eternal, as is all energy.
Second.
This "energy" thingy is really vibration. Vibrations come in infinite levels (dimensions). By methods of altering our thought vibrations (meditation or being in a trance), consider the possibility of bringing our minds into vibrational harmony with other energies or minds currently in other vibratory dimensions. Contact.
Yes, so I can believe that Deep Trance Channelling is authentic. Notice that I didn't say that ALL deep trance channels are authentic, because, as in life in general, there will be plenty of charlatans around. So be careful. When observing this phenomena - use your critical thinking!

Today, I will count my many blessings. Today, I will do my work honestly.
Today, I will be kind to every living creature.

What is deep trance channeling?
And what's in it for me (you)?
Deep trance channeling is a situation where the channel (a suitable person who apparently has a slightly different mind construction than an "everyday Joe") enters into a deep trance state, "steps aside" from conscious control, thus allowing other entities to speak through the channel's bodily mechanisms.
Many of you, especially those blinded by structured mainstream religious beliefs, may be extremely skeptical of channeling. May I suggest putting aside a large portion of your skepticism and allowing yourself a closer look. There is lots to learn! Don't keep your mind closed otherwise you may just miss out on some important information pertaining to your existence.
I have been fascinated by what I will call (for lack of a better description) "other dimensional existences" all my life. I first started sitting up straight and paying attention in my teens when I began reading the books by T. Lobsang Rampa. They seemed to have a ring of truth about them, although many claim that they are a work of fiction.
Never mind, my interest was struck, never to go away. Thank you, Tuesday!
I was brought up as a church attending protestant (Church of England). A great believer in the truth of the Bible (both historical and spiritual) and of Jesus Christ as the Son of God.
Only problem is (for the Church, that is) - I have always had a very open mind, a virtually unquenchable thirst for knowledge, and a great love of reading.
It has always stunned me how few regular church goers and believers have actually read the Holy Bible right through from start to finish. As an experiment, try asking some friends of yours who you know attend church regularly, how often they have read their bible from start to finish - I think you may get a shock.
I first began to question the validity of the bible just by critically reading it. Remember, this is a document that you may well be allowing to control your life! Time to take a very close look at "the small print". Think of the efforts you go to when you are about to sign a very important contract, say for the purchase of a house or business, - you hire a very smart lawyer to check the contract and "the small print" - right?
So - you are just about to base your entire life on some very ancient manuscripts - what to do?
You know what to do - YOU critically read every last word (that includes the historicity and authenticity of what you are reading as well). Yep! It's a BIG project, but. hey, it's also your life - and your responsibility to understand FULLY what you are basing your life and spending your valuable time on.
Before any of you true believers start jumping up and down and getting all irritated. Look up to the top of this site. YES!! It's all about personal empowerment. You - in control of you, and the world around you. The Captain of your ship. You - taking responsibility for YOU (and that includes your beliefs).
If, after you have done as I suggested, and you still have your beliefs - then, for you, they are true, valid and tested beliefs. But, of course, your mind will always remain open to new discoveries and events.
As an empowered person you will always check out everything you are told - you never blindly accept anything you are told by anyone - especially from organizations, groups and governments.
Enough in that direction for now. Back to deep trance channeling!
I first became very interested in the phenomenon of channeled messages after reading a book I originally found in a local library called "The Urantia Book".
Check it out - more next post.

Abundance is all around you.
Abundance is truly all around us. If you seem to be missing out on your fair share of all that abundance it may just be because of the way you have been habitually thinking.
You see, your thought patterns are habitual. We all tend to think in certain ways through habit. Are you a positive thinker or a negative thinker. Is the glass half full or is it always half empty?
Try monitoring your thoughts for a while and you'll soon pick up on how you have been thinking on things. Your thoughts are very powerful and all thoughts are creative whether you believe it or not.
Where you are today is a direct result of all your thoughts since the day you were born. Now that is a scary thought!!!!
There is really only one area in your life that you have complete and total control over and that is indeed your thoughts and therefore your beliefs. A belief is only a thought repeated.
The following is a great article by Rebecca Fine from Certain Way Productions. It gives us an excellant example of how our thoughts can indeed hold us back - sometimes in dangerous ways.
Afloat in A Sea of Abundance
By Rebecca Fine
In the days of the mighty sailing ships, when brave souls voyaged into the unknown, dependent on the winds and their as-yet incomplete knowledge of geography and navigation, one of the greatest and most dangerous challenges was to traverse the area known as "the doldrums."
Extending about 30 degrees on either side of the equator, the doldrums are subject to days, weeks, even months of no wind at all. After a long and difficult crossing from Europe to South America, lying becalmed in the doldrums — with no land in sight and with the ship's supply of fresh water dwindling — was a terrible and life-threatening situation.
But history and legend offer us some fascinating insights into the power of our own thinking and belief. Back then no one had yet figured out how to determine longitude, although latitude was easily calculated. So if you could not see recognizable land, you could only know in what band of latitude you currently were. Exactly where you were in that ring around the earth was, at that time, unknowable.
And so it happened that at times a ship would fetch up off the coast of South America, out of sight of shore, fresh water supplies exhausted and death knocking at the door. Then, with what must have been the sweetest sound those sailors could ever have hoped for, the lookout would suddenly call out that a ship was approaching in the distance.
Once the ship was within hailing distance, the cry went up: "Water! Give us water!"
And the reply would come back, "Lower your buckets over the side."
You see, although the sailors didn't know it, they were afloat in a virtual river of drinkable and life-sustaining water flowing from the mouth of the powerful Amazon River, which carries nearly 20 percent of all the earth's runoff water into the sea with such force that the fresh (or brackish but safe) water flows as far as 100 miles out into the Atlantic.
The sailors, dying of thirst, only THOUGHT they were experiencing lack. The REALITY was that they were afloat in a literal sea of abundance. Exactly what they needed was within their reach the whole time, but the APPEARANCE of scarcity and their BELIEF in that appearance threatened to overpower them.
They could have died — and many certainly did — believing in lack while surrounded by abundance.
In his amazing 1910 forgotten classic, The Science of Getting Rich, Wallace Wattles writes:
"I have said that people get rich by doing things in a certain way, and in order to do so, people must become able to think in a certain way.
"A person’s way of doing things is the direct result of the way he thinks about things."
"To do things in the way you want to do them, you will have to acquire the ability to think the way you want to think. This is the first step toward getting rich."
"And to think what you want to think is to think TRUTH, regardless of appearances."
A couple of months ago, my friend TERESA ROMAIN of Access Abundance wrote in my ezine, The Certain Way, about how Galileo changed the world by looking at things from a new perspective. By dropping the prevailing attitude that the sun revolved around the earth, he was able to see that the opposite was, in fact, the truth.
The key to finding the truth, she noted, was choosing to cast off the old notion and look at the situation anew, through a new lens. Teresa wrote:
"The path that lies before you is one of unlimited abundance. And it begins by SEEING the abundance available all around you."
"As you begin to experience life through the new lens of abundance, you'll find that many of the problems you face today will simply disappear. As for the ones that remain, your relationship to them will have changed profoundly, empowering you to take actions that are congruent with and support abundance."
What old beliefs, what old ways of looking, seeing, and perceiving do YOU need to cast off right now, my friend? If you find yourself "in the doldrums," how can you take a fresh look today and begin to see the abundance that surrounds YOU so that you are empowered — not becalmed and hopeless?
The choice is always available. If you have chosen unwisely before, remember that every moment is new and the great power lies in your ability to CHOOSE AGAIN, no matter the appearances and no matter what it seems everyone else thinks or does.
Teresa says that this choice "is the path that leads, ultimately, to the fulfillment of your dreams." Mr. Wattles says this choice is "the first step toward getting rich."
And, bearing in mind those long-ago sailors, I would add that this choice can be the ultimate choice — for death or for life itself.
That choice, every moment, is yours. Which way do you choose — right now?

No matter what the price
Never sell you soul. Many times throughout your life you will be asked to do or to perform tasks that will go completely against you moral stance. It will be a test of your personal integrity.
Wikipedia tells me that: "Integrity is consistency of actions, values, methods, measures and principles........People are said to have integrity to the extent that they behave according to the values, beliefs and principles they claim to hold."
What are your personal values, beliefs and principles? It's an interesting question. Do you run yours on a type of sliding scale according to the situation at hand or are yours absolute? Have you ever taken the time to list yours? That's right! Take a pen and paper and actually list your personal values, beliefs and principles. It's a good exercise - could be quite confronting.
Most religions would have a commandment of respecting life. Thou shalt not kill. It's an interesting observation that in times of war conscientious objectors are dealt with very harshly in all countries; yet perhaps these people should be looked upon as having great integrity in not wanting to break their personal moral or religious codes. I guess it's just the way you look at it.
For what it's worth my advice to you is to know your values, beliefs and principles. Never sell out. No matter what price is offered to break them. As long as your values, beliefs and principles do no harm to others, but only good - be proud that you hold them.
Proudly be a person of integrity.
"Have the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the truth. Do the right thing because it is right. These are the magic keys to living your life with integrity." - W. Clement Stone
"Integrity is doing the right thing, even if nobody is watching." - Jim Stovall
"Live so that when your children think of fairness and integrity, they think of you." - H. Jackson Brown Jr.
"Integrity is not a conditional word. It doesn't blow in the wind or change with the weather. It is your inner image of yourself, and if you look in there and see a man who won't cheat, then you know he never will." - John D. MacDonald
