Knowledge from beyond one's own consciousness is available to everyone from discarnate entities which can be conceptualized and/or described as 'spirit guides,' 'counselors,' or 'unseen friends.' All people have such sources of guiding wisdom available to them through conscious telepathic linkage if they choose to avail themselves of it. Through a process of learned attunement to these unseen sources of intelligence individuals are able to receive informative messages involving guidance, counseling, support, inspiration, information and loving encouragement. These communications can provide assistance, which helps individuals in their human development and spiritual growth. This provides greater self-responsibility, which results in more happiness and peace in daily life. Phases of increasing closeness and awareness of 'the other' source of intelligence can be developed by individuals bringing stronger and clearer communication.
For 24 years I have been a teacher of this phenomena which includes communication with the unseen in the forms of telepathy during meditation, semi automatic writing, automatic writing, mediumship (messages from the dead) and relay channeling (speaking aloud, or relaying, messages heard in one's mind). The phrase 'relay channeling' is a descriptive term for telepathically receiving information from paranormal resources and relaying them outwardly. This is different from full trance vocal channeling in which a discarnate entity speaks through an individual. It is my opinion and my belief that individuals who are properly trained can avail themselves of the wisdom of other dimensional intelligences - for they do exist.
Proof?
The existence of unseen friends cannot yet be proved. However, quantum physics has yet to actually 'see' a sub atomic particle, such as a quark. Subatomic particles are only presumed to exist by the trail they leave, by their measured effect. They cannot yet be seen or measured in and of themselves. Only their movement, their vibration, their function, their result can be observed and measured. Quarks are only 'proved' to exist by the observation of their effects: the vibration, the trails they leave behind. (Perhaps this means a quark is known by its quack - sorry, I couldn't resist!) This is the same case with receiving information from unseen friends (relay channeling). The effects, the trails left by the unseen friends are seen as the improvement in people's lives as a result of the communications. What greater proof is needed?
My twenty-four years of giving classes which effectively connect individuals to their unseen friends have demonstrated there is substantial value to be gained. Individuals' lives have been greatly enhanced in positive ways and a sense of empowerment is felt. People feel more connected to All That Is/God/Goddess/ Supreme Source - whatever verbiage is preferred. Psychological healings take place in the context of these communications. There is humor and laughter inherent in the communication process. Is proof needed when everyone is feeling so good and there is value gained?
The function of multidimensional communication functions well for individuals who explore it with an open yet discerning mind. The lack of proof of the realness of unseen friends does not diminish the positive effects. The function and result is what counts. "The proof is in the pudding" - the pudding is how people are helped in their lives.
Let's look at the function of quantum mechanics. Quantum physicists are scientists who are at this time exploring the probability of non-local consciousness - consciousness that exists beyond time and space, as we know it. In the future there may be more than shreds of evidence. Some theoretical physicists, (yes, 'scientists') maintain an open mind - you should too! If the information from unseen friends is indeed contact with the non-local universal mind and blips and bleeps from cosmic thought are transmitted through non-local means, this bears further exploration. If scientific theory is to grow it must be explored.
Quantum physics is still in its infancy stages and could yet prove the existence of non-local consciousness. I say let's stay open and playful! Let's let the quark quack and hear what it says. Then perhaps the quark will be tangibly revealed!
There is value in how guides function in people's lives whether they can be proved objectively 'real' or not. The people who connect consciously with unseen friends do not become psychotic, neurotic, compulsive, addictive, self destructive, violent, delusional, or obsessive as a result of their communications. They are healthy, balanced members of society - not demonically possessed.
The mental rapport achieved with a guide is used only for the higher good of the individual and not to anyone else's detriment. People who channel other dimensional sources of wisdom achieve greater self-responsibility - not less. This I have personally seen in countless cases with my students who are well adjusted and are personally and professionally successful individuals functioning productively in society. Professions of learned channels include: realtor, computer programmer, bank officer, script supervisor, actor, production assistant (film industry), landscape artist, interior designer, businessman, yoga instructor, journalist, talk show host, book store owner, to name a few.
Friends and family of people who use a practical and communicative relationship with unseen friends productively in their lives note positive changes over time: less anger, more joy; less hurt, more self expression; less victimhood, more active self responsibility. No one is hurt. Everyone around the individual benefits from the person being a happier, more integrated, more individuated individual.
Borrowing from the Bible, I would say of the channeled unseen friends "By their fruits shall ye know them."
