Sometimes when wishing I could channel
Divine wisdom, I realize
All of us human beings are channels of or
For some things
And the somethings are important
If I talk about hearing spiritual guides or voices
Tell me about the ways you experience life
Feeling guided or stunned by whatever you channel
Whatever you see or hear
Witness in your body
Smell or taste
What are some things you channel?
Sometimes we channel our conditioning, our
Programmed patterns from the past
(mostly unconsciously)
Believing some of the stories we tell ourselves about
Ourselves, about life, about others, about death
We channel the fears that we may have inherited
The fears that we have helped to create
The fears of some realities that are horrid and torturous
The fears of our nightmares and daymares
The fears of human life and suffering
We channel anxieties
As if they own us or control us
Arising unexpectedly, vociferously
During times of great stress or loss
Times of chaos and pain
What is channeling?
What or who are we channeling?
Channeling needs a conduit
Channeling is something that comes
Through us
Whether from outside, inside, all around us, or
From some divine or evil or in-between spirits
(Life is not always so black and white)
Channeling can come in words, feelings
Thoughts, obsessions and images
Often artistic and creative
Moving through us and hopefully into
Our conscious minds and awareness
Maybe our channelings are somethings
We intuit or just know to be true
We can challenge some of
Channelings at times
Do they bear any resemblance
To the realities in which we live, and if not
What other realities might we be channeling?
Can control our channelings
Our feelings, thoughts, experiences?
Probably not
Channelings may be like the weather
They come and go, sometimes
In predictable patterns
And sometimes not
We don’t control them
But, we can be open and willing
To whatever comes our way
We can be curious about our channelings
With a sense of humor and humility, knowing
We aren’t always right, correct or accurate
About some things
Knowing ourselves better and more deeply helps us
Shine a loving light toward and around other
Humans and all living beings
Next time you hear someone talk about
Channeling some being that lived long ago
Smile to yourself and know that
You, too, are a channeler of
Some things and
The somethings matter
