Free Love Story: In The Web of Life by Ken Renshaw Page B

began to channel, he went through a few head movements as
though he had to shake his head to form the channeling connection.
Then, his entity, or the spirit, or whatever he was channeling,
came through in a loud, gruff, choppy voice, talking a
mile-a-minute. He said he brought us greetings from another
civilization on a planet in the direction of, but not near, the
Pleiades. He went on to say that their civilization was more
evolved than ours and they wanted to communicate certain ideas to
help us in our evolution.
    "What I heard was very similar to ideas of
eastern spiritual philosophies, with some interesting twists. Do
you want to hear about those?"
    "Maybe later. Right now, I am more interested
in the phenomenon or mechanism rather than the message."
    "I attended about sixty changelings in Southern
California and then studied the channeled messages of forty of
those channels. The entities that were channeled were quite varied,
some were historical figures, some Greek gods, some were said to be
Egyptian gods, and others were biblical figures.
    "I won't try to give you all that data, I'll
send you a copy of my dissertation.
    "I concluded, after much study, that some of
the channels were channeling their own subconscious, general
knowledge, and belief system: the message was 100% theirs. Others
were channeling the message of some external spiritual entity and
then overlaying it with their own stuff: the message might be 10%
or 90% theirs depending on the channel."
    "Where does Herondus fit in that spectrum?" I
asked.
    "I think he is about 90% entity most of the
time. I believe the form of the message is as Herondus was
describing last night, pre-symbolic: it comes to him as abstract
ideas and pictures. The channel's brain and brain ware, as Herondus
described it last night, converts the message to language. That
translation process is where the channels education and belief
system can filter the input.
    "Another thing I found was that a person with a
great intellect will channel a message of high intellectual content
and a dull person will channel a dull message."
    "How did you get interested in channeling? Tina
has mentioned that you were not really too interested in psychic
phenomena."
    I replied, "I wasn't, until I started to have
some unusual experiences myself. I am embarrassed to say that I
have been having conversations with an entity or entities who call
themselves Uriel. Their voice appears to come from a spot of light
that can be in broken glass bottle or under a rock," I
replied.
    "I'd call that channeling!" she said with a
wide grin. "Except, you are
doing the channeling. You might make it seem to come from the spot
of light to agree with your belief system. People who hear voices
directing them are often diagnosed as schizophrenics. You are
surely not one of them. The spot of light appearing to talk is
probably a dream kind of thing."
    I felt relieved as I said, "Yes, it does happen
sometimes when I am dozing off. Are there any hazards in doing this
form of channeling?"
    "Yes, but only for those like Darren Wileman
who trance channels Herondus. He is great, but sometimes other
trance channels go kind of bonkers after a while, and start saying
bizarre stuff or get their own ego involved in the
message.
    "Since you are doing this semiconsciously you
can evaluate what is coming through. If it starts to get really
strange, tell the entity to stop coming through, or simply stop
when it happens. It all is under your control. Does the message
seem reasonable to you?"
    I thought a minute and then said, "Yes, I
received instructions on some scientific things about space-time
that I should learn about. Then, a few days later, I get a legal
case involving those same subjects and am forced to learn about it.
It is really strange."
    She lit up with a big smile and said, "That may
not be as strange as you think. I have heard of people channeling
messages from the future. Maybe your 'Uriel' is your future self, a
guide from
