Q: I have a question that relates to channeling.
In some instances, I've read of concerns for channels of disembodied evil spirits having access to the physical being. Can you address that?

Abraham:
For the most part the connection that you make will b a being who is of your Family of Consciousness.
It is very unusual that you would attract one whose intentions were not in harmony with your own.

However, as with all things that we have talked about,
anmything that you give great thought to, you will create.
And so, if you have tremendous fera of that,
it is possible that you may very well attract that which you fear most,
for the Creative Process works evenly to all things.

And so, because there have been those who have had such experiences, and as they talk about them to others,
they spread the fear, you see?

It is an unnatural thing that they have created,
but as they stimulate the thoughts in others,
which brings forth fear,
then the others create it as well.

And so, then someone has to do something to compensate ofr that,
and so then they say,
"If you will say these things, and touch yoru face in these different ways,
you will cast away all evil spirits."
(group laughter)
You see? And if there is belief that those things work,
the nthe "evil spirits" no longer come to you.

THere is never a reason for you to create anything in your experience that you are not wanting.
You invite ALL through your thought.

And so, if you're not "knowing that evil spirits exist",
you would never invite them,
because you would not think about them.
But as they are talked about, you think about them,
and you may invite them if you are in the process of allowing.

Truthfully, most of those experiences are imagined or made up.
They do not really happen, most of them, for this reason:
Everything that you experience, you must give thought to,
or as we say: In deliberate creating, you must want it- and then allow it to be."

And so in this process of channeling, the wanting is set forth by saying:
"I would like to have communication with the inner dimension."
Be specific:
"I am wanting joyous communication.
I am wanting to speak with those beings that are in harmony with who I am.
Beings who will uplift me.
I am wanting a high level of consciousness,
for I understand that here are many frivolous beings,
and I am not communicating for fun, so much as I am for knowing."

Make your statement so that you set forth the creation in the way that you are wanting.
And then as you sit to meditate, you will allow it,
for your intention as you meditate is to open the channel of communication, you see?

Most beings who are afraid of evil spirits never have the experience,
for they will not allow the communication.
They will never sit, intending to receive communication,
for they are so afraid that they will receive somethign that is evil, that they do not allow it.
And that is the reason that we say most of these stories are made up -
It is not in harmony with the Creative Process.

Both the wanting and the allowing must be in place before the experience.

Can you use a Ouija board to Channel?

Abraham:
You may receive many means of communication.
You may speak as Esther is speaking, you see, or use a board.

The reason that we are not ordinarily recommending the use of the board is because it is known to be a game,
and there are many frivolous beings in the Non-physical dimension who also understand that it is a game, you see.
And so, there is a lot of fun had with it if you are not understanding clearly what you are wanting.

Your Inner Being will not play a game with you upon something that is serious,
but there are frivolous beings, you see.
Just because we [non-physical beings] are dead doesn't mean we're smart,
and doesn't mean we're in harmony with you either, you see.
And so it is good for you to find a direct path to that which will not tease you.

Hotseater wants tips on how to channel.

Abraham:
Do not worry, if you are not wanting it, you will not get it.
It is not something that will be thrust upon you if it is not something that yo uare wanting.

Now as with all creation, want it and allow it - and it is. (...)

The allowing is what we are offering the process of meditation for. (...)
Feeling that sensation of knowing is a signal to yo ufrom your Inner Being that you have achieved the quieting of the physical so that you may now sense the inner. (...)
Now as you are in teh state of allowing, your work is done.
Your Inner Being will do the rest. (...)

Once you are open it is not necessary that you sit in a state of meditation to receive.
Once you are open, you may receive any time you are wanting, by setting forth the intent:
"I intend to receive."

(...)

Do not see yourself as an instrument that must speak with anything that is wanting to talk.
You may be the deliberate creator of that, and we encourage you to ask for your Inner Being,
your higher self, your soul, your God - whatever you are calling it.
Ask for that which you want to experience,
and that is what you will receive.

(...)

As with anything that is new, you will becoime more comfortable with it as you are doing it longer.

Make no comparison about that which you have experienced here with Esther,
for your experience is your own.

Do more of it, and as you sit, let your intent be,
"I intend to speak clearly".

Ask to speak to those who come forth from where your Inner Being is. That is always best.
Ask to speak with those of your "Family" you see.

It is a matter of quieting your mind an stating your intent clealry.
And as you are receiving it, you will get better and better at it.

The tendency is to come here and hear this one (Esther) who has spoken for us for thousands of hours.
If you could have been here at the beginning, you would have seen something that is quite different.
There would be a very long question, beautiful in words,
and Abraham would say: "That is correct."
And then there would be another very eloquent and long question, and then Abrham would say: "It is not exactly like that."
And the nthere would be another very long question, you see, and it was not that Esther was not receiving,
it was that she was not trusting all that she was receiving
and so she would speak that which she did trust, you see?
And so, as you are speaking more and more,
you will trust more and more.
You wil become more comfortable with that which comes forth.

Hotseater:Should I speak ou when there is no one else to hear it? When I am just meditating by myself? Should I speak my questions out loud?

Abraham:
Indeed. The more the better.
The more you are receiving, the more you will trust.

Hotseater: What keeps another entity other than you from taking over Esther during [channeling]?

Abraham:
Her clear intent.
She is knowing that she is wanting to receive from those from which she has come.
She is wanting to receive from her "Family".
And once she has made contact with her "Family",
the others will not bother her.

You see, until you have made contact with the one from which you have come,
then you are sort of fair game to eveytone.
Particularly if you have already made contact otherwise.
But once you have made contact with the "Family" from which you have come, the others say, "Agreed, it is done."

As Esther is moving into the segment of her day where she is intending to receive,
if she is not saying, "I am wanting to speak with Abraham, or with those from whom I have come,"
if she says "Universe, I am here, speak to me. Anybody out there? I'll take any of you who is nearest" - she may receive something that is not in harmony with who she is, you see.

And so, we do not recommend that.
we recommend that you say, "I am wanting through this opening, to receive that from which I have come."
And once you do that, the others will not bother you.

[When we first came to Esther] she did not understand who we were.
She was saying: "I am wanting to know my spiritual guide."
And the day we came to her we said,
"I am Abraham, I am your spiritual guide."

[spiritualcookie]

Hotseater: What if when you channel, non-physical beings come to you in separate personalities? Separate beings and thoughts. How do you bring them together?

Abraham: By intending it. By understanding it.

Q. And if they refuse?

Abraham: Then tell them you will have no more of it.
That you are the keeper of your being,
that you are the creatorof that which you experience, and it is done.

Those who are in harmony with you will nver refuse what yo uare intending, you see.
Those who are not in harmony - release them.

Do not worry.
You see, there is great worry about "possession".
It was Esther's greatest fear; it is why it took us so long to get together.

Tips for Channelling

As you sit with the intent of asking questions and receiving answers, put yourself in a comfortable position and establish clearly your intentions.

Esther usually sits for a minute or so, drawing in deep breaths.

Then she will state clearly, "I want to speak, clearly, your words."
That is her way of saying, "I will listen and allow your thoughts to be translated through my mind."
It is her way of intending that her own conscious thoughts will not interfere with the thoughts that she is receiving from Abraham.
Esther's intent to have no conscious interference from her own thought process is her first and most dominant intention.

Telling Apart True Messages from Non-Physical & messages coming from your physical mind

As you begin receiving communication from your Inner Being, you may have difficulty in separating your own conscious thoughts from those of your Inner Being, but in time, the distinction will be very obvious to you.

You will notice, right away, that the thoughts that come from your Inner Being are steady and sure, almost rhythmic, while your own conscious thoughts are more often sporadic and choppy.

Your Inner Being will do a better job of staying on one topic, while your conscious thoughts dart about from topic to topic.

If you have set forth a very strong intention to receive clearly from your Inner Being, and if you are allowing your own conscious thoughts to get in the way, or to override what is coming from your Inner Being, you will feel very uncomfortable with what you receive.
You will be filled with doubt or agitation or irritation. It will not be a satisfying experience.

When you have established your intentions clearly, and you are receiving purely from your Inner Being, the flow of thoughts and your translation of words is very sure and the experience is most satisfying.

Eventually the stream fo thoughts from your Inner Being will come purely and surely, undeniably into your mind.

Not All Non-Physical Beings are Wise & Worth Listening to

Physical man often mistakenly believes that all beings who are part of the Non-physical dimension are older and wiser than those focused in the physical realm, and that certainly is not the case.

The beings who are focused in the Non-physical dimension hold tremendous variety in intentions, desires, beliefs, expectations, abilities and attitudes.

Hauntings? -Interpretation? -Channeling?


Abe:
So, hauntings… give us an example.

Q:
This is more my friend’s question – so I don’t have a specific problem; of course, we see things on television. Is it part of our creation because when someone goes out to look for hauntings, they will find them because they are creating?

Abe:
Here’s the thing – everything is about vibration, and the vibration is being interpreted differently. We’ve already talked about the real-life reality you want to call "truth", your interpretation of vibration.

Your eyes interpret vibration, and that’s why you see. Your ears understand vibration, and that’s why you hear, so you interpret energy into what you see. As she is receiving us here, Esther is receiving blocks of thought – we’re downloading big chunks of thinking – she gets them at an unconscious level, sorts them out, and finds words equivalent to best describe the block of thought she is receiving.

So Esther is a perfect verbal translator of this vibration, but others are visual translators of vibration, and they are those who have visions and see things, and many of you do, too. It is essential to understand whether you are verbally translating – Esther is more auditory than visual – whether you are orally translating, visually translating, or both.

In any case, you are receiving the vibration; you must be somewhere in the vibrational vicinity of the vibration to interpret it.

In other words, Esther has discovered that if she meditates, is joyful, or is basking that she’s much more up to speed with what Abraham is. So, Abraham’s flow is much more comfortable, emphatic, precise, or beneficial if she’s up to speed with us.

So, interpreting energy means being in the vibrational vicinity and then explaining in some way visually or auditorily.

Abraham Hicks

[Paradise-on-Earth]

You choose through your own vibration/Point of Attraction, WHOM you channel.


Let’s talk about vibration other than what we offer. In other words, we are a stream of consciousness, and when Esther or any of you get near where we are, you have that knowledge. You know what we are discussing and surprising yours, aren’t you? You’re right up to speed – did you hear how you laughed just at the right moment? Do you understand how you’re getting the subtle nuances of what we are offering? You’re up to speed with us, or that would not be happening.

So, you’re in the vibrational vicinity of that which we are – now Esther makes it easier for you because she’s speaking it out loud, and you are commonly or collectively focused, which makes it easier still – but just the same, you are in the vibrational vicinity, or you would not be getting it. So, every thought that has ever been thought still exists – thoughts don’t go away, vibrations don’t go away, and the law of attraction gathers those vibrations into what you might call rivers or streams. And so, you could pick up on the river… this is a powerful stream of consciousness that we are projecting here, which is easy for Esther and some of you to pick up on.

But there are streams of consciousness that are a spin-off of man’s conscious thought, that are also easy for you to pick up on, if you’re in the vibrational vicinity.

Abraham Hicks

[Paradise-on-Earth]

Do Ghosts or Haunted Houses exist?


It’s in the eye of the beholder!
In other words, you see what you are vibrationally tuned to, but more importantly, you see what you expect. The expectation is a vibrational practice, and anything is possible.

We want you to know that there is only one source of well-being, which is dominant.

And if you’re picking up on any of that other stuff, it’s because you’re outside the vortex on the raw and ragged edge. You’ve got a pretty good vibration going, and all that stuff floating around out there, congealing and able to pick up. In other words, transmitting and receiving mechanisms is all it is.

Questioner:
Then I was just wondering if there is something called a ghost. And if there is, what are they?

Abraham:
Well, certainly there is that which is called that, it's called spirit sometimes, is called ghost, or apparition. (Laughter.) Or Casper. In the same way, Esther interprets vibration verbally or auditorially; it is possible to interpret vibration visually. And so sometimes the person, the seer, is in a vibrational place, close enough proximity that they can interpret the energy visually.

Sometimes the energy is a projection from Source. Sometimes it is the thought-form — in other words, as you are here in your physical body, you have to understand what a great focal point you are! There’s that word focus’ again. You are focused energy, so as you perceive life from your vantage point, that vantage point becomes a sort of energy vortex, and as others perceive you, the same thing happens.

So, long after you are no longer in your physical body, the energy that surrounds you still exists, and those who care to see it and want to see it sometimes can see it.

We think the most crucial question is: when someone sees a ghost, does that always mean that the nonphysical vantage point, where they are now, is being expressed in that apparition? And the answer to that is: Sometimes yes. But not always. That’s what a haunted house is: someone had a dramatic experience or an exciting experience in a place, so the energy was potent. People continue to activate it and keep it alive, so that even those who weren’t part of that, sometimes can see that.

And so the easiest way for you to distinguish what is Source energy from what is a thoughtform is the intensity of it and the purity of it and the deliciousness of it. In other words, if there is Source energy associated with it, it always feels delicious at the moment you participate.
