now this is interesting

looking forward to this

back to the channeling...
to be an automatic channeler, all you have to do is wait for the impulse to arrive
sometimes it starts like a tickle in the chest - a heavy feeling bearing down, intense emotions bubbling to the surface
something foreign on the inside, something with poetry that seems maybe sort of alien,
but you tune in and the poetry becomes discernable
as colors and thoughts and music and language oriented in ways you'd never think to put it,
like some inferior hand is making the language and playing the music, but
a hand without our convention.

well the channeling starts, not like an option switch either. imagine the urge to sleep, or pee. it's hard to explain where the "pressure" comes from. it's a physical sensation in the abdomen or just a raw pounding on the chest. for me, the need to channel is a tickle on the heart. it's a flickering in the tips of the fingers, the knowing that when they set down the words will come.

being a good channeler requires an open vessel. the kind of mind with a big imagination is of course an obvious advantage but so is the mind willing to entertain the absurd. many are unable to channel because once they start receiving absurd images and sentiments they recoil from the process. many are untrained channelers so they completely misunderstand what they are picking up on and go insane. the latter is a familiar story.

if you send the tentacles of your consciousness out into that morass of the collective, you need to know when the whispers are just ambient noise. you'll get images that are just raw nerves being plucked from memory. ignore the ones that don't oscillate to your liking.

take a step back from the legion of messages, images, symbols, and feelings. your mind is the pattern maker, and it will start to form an order. I collage in the exact same way as I autochannel. I don't go through the magazines trying to find the picture I want. I go through the magazine not knowing the pictures I want, but I know them when I see them. In the end, they come together and they tell a story or they show a scene, because they are responding to something my left brain is not sensitive enough to pick up on, but I pick up on without realizing. I only know what they are and what I want to do with them when the task is over. It's accurate to say "I" don't know - something inside me does.

being an autochanneler means that you are open, dangerously open. sorting through things that come through you is a constant task. on the one hand it means that even spending a little time with other people you begin to understand them deeply, and even integrate their little habits. but it also means that others can be disturbing and distracting. being an autochanneler means sometimes you will channel things for these other people. you become someone people project upon. sometimes you will say just the right or wrong thing at the perfect time for this person, but you don't mean to. you're not a psychic. without knowledge of this, a lot of people will work out "soul karma" on you
