And now let’s dive into Lesson Nine Channeling, Mediumship, Animal Communication & More.

You are not unlike a television.  You, too, have many channels built in. 

The only question is which are you attuned to?  Which channel are you paying attention to?

So many of the people on your planet are, mostly, unaware of these other channels.  One channel was allowed to play, to become predominate and the other channels, though there, are never attuned to.  Are ignored. 

Ignoring something, being unaware of something, is not the same as something not existing. 

If you are disallowing, or unaware of a channel, it is certainly not ‘proof’ that it does not exist. 

Far more exists than any of you are aware of, or have even yet begun to dream of.  These other channels are sensed by some of you, and explored by even fewer of you.  But the vastness, the potential, of these unexplored and unacknowledged channels is still awaiting your discovery.  Your delight. 

So yes, it is possible for everyone to channel, to attune, to a source like Us – a channel offering teachings, help, wisdom and guidance, to those seeking these things. 

There are also channels to speak with what you call the ‘deceased’ ones.  We assure you, enthusiastically, that nothing and no one ‘ceases.’  Energy remains – always.  It transmutes, it shifts, it may appear to change to you, but it does not ever ‘cease.’  It does not ever stop.  It does not ever die.  So, if seeking a channel to experience a connection with someone known or unknown who is not embodied – this is certainly possible and available to you all. 

Experiencing an interaction with an animal, alive, or as you say, dead, is certainly a channel available to all of you.  Their language may be different from the one you are used to, but an understanding can always be found, a language unique to the channel can always be discovered, shared and used to communicate.  Again, this is available to all. 

Channels with beings unmet and unseen by whatever name you choose to give them – aliens, angels, ascended masters – are available.  You can attune your self to these and receive interactions, communications, messages and teachings. 

All is available to you.  We truly want to emphasize this.  We like the image of a television with all its many channels to help you to understand your own potential for communication, for learning. 

Even the ones you consider ‘alive’ have only part of their energy embodied.  A higher energy, a wiser energy, with greater connection to Source is always with them and you have available to you the ability to attune to that higher energy and to communicate directly with it.  This can be so helpful during times of conflict.  To bypass the embodied energy of a friend, or loved one, and instead, reach for the channel of their Higher Wisdom for clarification, messages and communication. 

So much is available to you that is not being used.  We truly want you to know and believe this.  And most importantly to know and believe that it can be accessed, it can be connected to. 

You do this by calming your self.  By seeking peace and joy, and then opening your self to this channel, to this energy.  Ask for it.  Never forget the asking.  All the Universe is attuned to your asking.  You each ask for so little.  Truly.  Ask.  Reach inwardly with great love towards that which you long to know and experience and love, and it will immediately reach in turn towards you. 

It cannot be any other way.

We love you so much,

Let’s just start by saying the television analogy in this lesson really surprised me, since I haven’t owned a television in a decade or more.  (*Remember that all the lessons in this channeling course are channeled.) 

So, I am not even sure if this analogy makes sense anymore.  (I hope that it does!)

Even so, I think this message is easy to grasp – there is so much more wisdom available to us than we know or believe.  And there are so many ‘channels,’ or ways, to receive this wisdom.

I have noticed that highly intuitive people often are able to access many different ways of receiving information though they usually receive the clearest messages from only one or two.  For example, a skilled channeler might also be able to communicate with animals, but not feel as ‘fluent’ or confident in that mode of communication.

Remember, there is only one Source, and we are all a part of It.  So, nothing is inaccessible to you.  Nothing.  But just as some musicians prefer the guitar over the piano, you, too will discover which of the intuitive instruments that you have a natural affinity for. 

This lesson is encouraging you to explore, to experiment and, most importantly, not to put limits on yourself.  You might be drawn to channeling now because it is actually a stepping stone to becoming a brilliant healer.  Who knows?  Also, you might become quite adept at one of the intuitive arts and practise it for years and then find yourself being drawn to another.  This is normal, as well.

Do not limit yourself.  Miracles (and adventures) truly happen when you let Source lead.

There is one small thing that I want to highlight from this letter, though.  When I learned about this technique, I was amazed how much it helped me with forgiveness.  And I know that forgiveness is something that so many of us struggle with. 

It is mentioned in the paragraph near the bottom of the letter that begins with, “Even the ones you consider ‘alive’ have only a part of their energy embodied.”  What is being referred to here is something that I learned from the channeler, Sara Landon. 

Each of us has a Higher Self.  It is that part of us that hovers between our embodied self and Source energy.  It is, for each of us, the wise Self.

And, here’s the exciting part, we can not only access and communicate with our own Higher Self, but also with the Higher Self of other people.

I did this with a family member who I love deeply, but am estranged from and received such a loving, moving response that my hurt and anger dissolved completely.  (Note: We are still not speaking, but I do feel so much more peace around the situation.) 

Here’s what I did:  I took out my notebook and silently asked for a message from my relative’s Higher Self. Then I took a few deep breaths and opened myself.  ‘Opening’ to me feels like I am letting go of ‘Lori’ and that the defining edges of my ‘self’ are softening and I am allowing a meeting space with something that is greater.  Then I asked for a message from this person’s Higher Self.

After a few moments I felt the urge to write, “Dear Lori.” Then the message flowed, a few words at a time, for a few sentences. 

When I reread it, it felt so loving and beautiful that I cried.  It showed me a different perspective, one I had not considered before.  It cleared space in my heart.

I wanted to offer you that, in case you are also caught in the knot of anger.  It may be a way to loosen the hurt.

In whatever ways that you try different channels, may you receive answers.  May you find peace.  May you feel the wisdom and Love that is here for you, now and always.

Sending so much love,
