The Council

The dike has sprung a leak. And there is no little boy to put his thumb in the hole until help comes.

This was a children’s tale not long ago. It is not so often read anymore, but it applies to the situation your world finds itself in at this time. The great majority of people are still blissfully unaware of what is going on, or perhaps not so blissfully since to them the chaos seems overwhelming. But for those who read our messages, and who have access to what is now being called alternate sources of information, there are numerous hints appearing every day that indicate a growing stream of new information. As these stories continue to unfold, they will form a new tapestry of understanding, and its pattern will soon show your long awaited new world society in its infancy. Take heart. You all must remember how rapidly infants tend to grow.

There are new technological advancements being released every day now. New discoveries are being made in your heavens, under your seas, within your Earth, and in every area that you are studying. Daily there are new things being revealed that were for long times held in deep secrecy. Old paradigm business models are falling apart.

Now, the chicken littles of your world are busy yelling about falling skies at the top of their collective lungs. And if they succeed in their efforts, something like that is possible. But they have a couple of things that work against them.

For one thing, they have been spreading disinformation for so long that their words are hardly given credence as they once were. Their network ratings are in the tank as they would put it. For another, they are working against a tide of consciousness, adopted and spread by you, and aided and magnified by us. This last you have made possible by accepting our teaching and the energy it brings. You have accepted the teaching of love long enough to discover that it is far preferable to hate and fear. Hate and fear give one’s energy and power over to what one hates and fears.

It has taken lifetimes for you to awaken to these things and you will not give them up now. Know this, the little things that you do in each moment that make you feel good, that help another to feel good, that improve someone’s day or their lives have a far reaching effect that you will never know. But each of those acts, words, and thoughts raise the tide. And rising tides raise everything in their path.

This is a vast ocean of energy that is being added to moment by moment. You are adding to it. We are adding to it. And as most of you are aware, the cosmos itself is adding wave upon wave of rising energy to this thing which we will call Earth’s evolution, certainly mankind’s evolution.

Now there is a thing about building energy. If one lets it go on its chosen course, it can reach its destination rather peacefully, like a river. But if it encounters any sort of blockage, it will build until it overcomes that blockage. And this is not always peaceful. As another has told you, this is not philosophy. This is physics.

There are those who are working daily to try and bring the future to you in ways that will avoid as much discomfort as possible. There are also those who insist on trying to stop the incoming tide at any cost. We suggest that the prudent will align their thoughts, prayers, and efforts with the former. Holding one’s thumb over the end of the garden hose till it bursts – well, it can be messy at best.

Now, having discussed all of that, let us say that you have made far more progress that you even suspect. And we would point out that by far the greater number of you are contributing by your own internal changes. These seem to you to be unimportant, insignificant. But these, friends, are far and away the most powerful and indeed the most needed. Continue. And then continue. Continue until your world has become the image of what you have dreamed it to be. Because it will become what you dream it to be.

So with that, we will bid you a rather abrupt good day until next we speak. Blessings to you all.

Channeling: “The practice of professedlyentering a meditative or trancelike state in orderto convey messages from a spiritual guide.”(Source)

This will be difficult to write, and my intention isn’t to condemn my friends in the conscious community who love channeled messages.

Yet for this piece, I need to be real and express what I’m feeling.

The latest post from Greg Giles, former channel for the ‘Galactic Federation of Light’, exemplifies one of the reasons I stopped channeling.

In his post, he claims that channeled messages are part of a government psy-ops program that lures well-meaning people to their mental and spiritual demise with what are apparently artificial telepathic communications sent by the government to control our minds; not messages from beings who want to help us evolve.

I was a channeler when I first started in this community, and I channeled Pleiadians, Ascended Masters, Hathors; the Galactic Federation; I could go on and on.

I stopped channeling because I became more interested in writing, which gives me an opportunity to express my own thoughts and feelings about the planet’s evolution. When I channel now, I channel my own higher consciousness (also known as the higher self), because I can share it with people who aren’t as open to messages from angels or extraterrestrials.

Channeling was the only way I could connect with a higher consciousness in the beginning, and it was an effective form of meditation. Throughout the two or so years I was actively involved with it, I was led to reconnect with a simpler and, for me, more preferable form of spirituality.

I reached a point where I no longer needed to channel, and I wanted to use writing to connect with everyone in this community as opposed to just a few people. My idea was (and still is) to contribute to the unity of this community and writing seems like a great way to do it.

The reason Greg’s post makes me glad I went in a different direction is that some people are getting ridiculous about channeled messages. Don’t get me wrong; there are lightworkers (which is a loaded word these days) who take the messages seriously, discern what they read and aren’t quick to make fantastic claims or jump on a bandwagon.

They enjoy messages from certain sources, and that’s fine with me. I used to religiously read the same sources, and as long as it helps them on their journey, I have no desire to say that they or the messages they read are wrong.

What bother me are the people who only got into channeling because it was so new and ‘out there’, because, if you haven’t realized, it’s not so new or ‘out there’ anymore.

It’s gone mainstream, and while some people still renounce it as disempowering, ‘new agey’ or whatever other label they prefer, it’s become popular enough that it no longer allows us to stand out.

It no longer makes us appear unique, and a lot of its former supporters are bored with it. They warmed up to it because it was so new and different, but now that the high has worn off, they have to find other ways to be unique and a little outrageous.

It can be likened to the hippie generation drinking and doing drugs just to rebel. What if psychedelic drugs went mainstream back then? Those hippies who couldn’t get enough of them would probably rebel against “the man pacifying us with drugs” because the drugs would’ve no longer been cool.

I theorize that the same thing is happening with channeled messages. I’ve read “Why I’m No Longer a Lightworker” and other posts from people who once advocated channeling but now vehemently renounce it, and most of those posts have quite a negative and conspiratorial undertone.

These anti-channeling posts from former supporters make me think that a) people want something new to rebel against because government conspiracies are no longer enough; thus, they associate channeled messages with government psy-ops (which gives them something new to rebel against) and b) channeling has become mainstream and boring so it no longer satisfies the “I’m a spiritual person and I’m different, look at me!” mentality.

The outrageousness isn’t limited to the anti-channeling side, and the pro side can be just as wild.

I didn’t mind when we had channelings from angels, archangels, even extraterrestrials, but it got kind of ridiculous when people started channeling Michael Jackson or a twelfth-dimensional dragon collective whose identity, along with the information it gives, can never really be confirmed.

I was never much for proof when it came to channeling because I went on faith and the messages seemed to confirm things for me that the channeler couldn’t have possibly known, but we should be a little levelheaded for crying out loud. It’s fine to have our heads in the clouds, but maybe we should keep our feet on the ground too.

We can at least use a little intelligence and discernment, and while it feels better to believe David Bowie or an enlightened dragon is speaking to us, we won’t get far if we take everything we read at face value. Not to mention that the outrageousness will get worse if we don’t keep ourselves in check, and this will make us targets of more negativity and criticism.

Greg Giles was the target of a lot of negativity back when he regularly posted his ‘Galactic Federation of Light’ messages. I remember, because I was a part of the same circles and forums as him. I saw all of the vitriol aimed at him daily, and as the hate toward him increased, his messages began to take on a darker tone.

They became less about love and evolution and more about conspiracy and the ‘dark cabal’, and now, he’s saying what all those hateful people always told him: that his messages were products of a psy-ops operation all along.

Like others, his messages became harder to tolerate until he stopped altogether.

I don’t know if it was because he couldn’t take the negativity or he began to lose hope in what he was doing, but around the time he stopped, I started to take a look at my own channeling and what I was getting out of it.

I’m grateful that I did, because if not, I could’ve become part of the madness. By ‘madness’ I don’t refer to the conspiracy Greg outlines in his article; I refer to the madness of making channeling more outrageous and therefore interesting or relevant.

Greg and so many others have done this madness a justice by pioneering this new negative perspective on channeling, which inadvertently makes it interesting again. Before, the big conspiracy was that the cabal wanted to keep us from channeling evolved beings (or even knowing they exist) because they didn’t want us to know our true divine identity.

Now, the big conspiracy is that channeled messages come directly from the shadow government and anyone who channels is unknowingly subjecting themselves to mind control and a life of misery.

Greg literally alleges that shadow government types are torturing him for channeling their apparently artificial frequency, which he thought was the ‘Galactic Federation of Light’. So you see, the conspiracy rolls on and channeling, along with the antics of the shadow government, continue to be interesting.

Spiritual people who were getting bored of channeling finally have something to talk about again, and to their delight, they can rebel against something new and appear more enlightened than those who still read channelings.

They used to love the messages, but now, it’s all an evil conspiracy and we must raise awareness of it by hatefully bashing them and the sources they’re claimed to come from.

According to them, all those spiritually evolved angels and ETs are actually cabal agents who want to enslave the spiritual community and we subject ourselves to mind control by reading their messages.

Instead of understanding that the purpose of channeling is to connect us with our own higher consciousness and our authentic spirituality, we’d rather believe it’s the work of the cabal because it’s more entertaining.

With this mindset, we can continue to believe we’re diligently unraveling the dark’s conspiracies while walking a true path into the light, which is what most of us thought when we first started reading channelings. The spiritual ego is kept alive and well because we continue to believe we’re more intelligent or enlightened than others.

Instead of all of this nonsense, can we be levelheaded about channeling, spirituality, conspiracy and everything in between?

I should note that in using the word ‘conspiracy’ so much, I don’t mean to downplay the real conspiracies that are happening worldwide. I simply intend to give my opinion that channeling isn’t one of them, and in fact, we distract ourselves from actual conspiracies when we make up new ones for our own enjoyment.

Everyone is so convinced that they have the ultimate truth when it comes to this subject, whether they’re for or against it, and like many other things, this’ll divide the conscious community forever if we let it.

As a former channeler who’s heard everyone’s opinion and read every side of the story but has no interest in bashing or praising the messages, I have to say that it’s exhausting.

My message for this piece (or maybe I can call it a plea) is to be sensible; nothing more, nothing less. Sure, you can read the messages or even try to channel a higher being if that helps you, but can we avoid all of the outrageous claims about it from the ‘for’ and ‘against’ side?

Can we just recognize that channeling helps some people, but not all, on their journey back to God and leave it at that? Do we have to go haywire with conspiracy theories about it just because it’s no longer new and cool?

In the same vein, do we have to try to make it newer, cooler and more ‘out there’ by claiming to channel people like Kurt Cobain or saying outrageous things in the messages (or using unnecessarily complex spiritual language that hardly anyone can understand?)

Most importantly, why do we let this issue divide us? Can we just get along with each other whether or not we all believe in channeling? It’s a savior for some and an unapproachable ‘new age’ concept for others, but there’s no real reason to let it divide us beyond petty egoism.

I sincerely hope this call for sensibility is received by everyone who’s been ridiculous about channeled messages or other aspects of the consciousness movement, and hopefully, we’ll eventually approach spirituality in a levelheaded way while respecting everyone’s unique thoughts, feelings and opinions.
