Wind of the Soul

The phenomenal teachings of Abraham have been pouring forth from non-physical awareness, through Esther Hicks, for over two decades. In the process they’ve changed thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of lives for the better. Abraham’s teachings are categorized as channeled works, however that’s not a word that you’d find Esther or her husband Jerry using to describe them. Esther prefers to be known as a translator, which is why I described her as such in my post The Secret.

Although the name Abraham is singular, it represents the awareness of a group consciousness, which “speaks” in vibration to Esther (as thought). She then translates those vibrational thoughts into words, utilizing her own vocabulary and her own speaking voice. There’s no possession or relinquishing of her physical body involved. In fact she has stated that she feels extremely exhilarated and is completely present during the process, yet can simultaneously feel Abraham’s awareness flooding into her.

I wanted to introduce the concept of channeling prior to diving into a future post about one of my favorite authors who has extensively honed this ability. Channeling is usually defined as the process of speaking for a spirit guide, source awareness, entity, or group consciousness that has an expanded perspective upon life and our reason for being. I prefer to look at it as connecting with an aspect of ourselves, which transcends time and space, reminding us of who we are and the capabilities we possess.

There are many different explanations for this process; however it’s not as rare or strange as many make it out to be. In fact, each one of us is an open channel when we are consumed with something which elicits our total focus, energy, passion and enjoyment. We simply express the channeled message through our actions and creations instead of through verbalized teachings.

Ever since encountering my first conscious out of body experience, I’ve been fascinated with any subject matter that’s closely related to astral projection. Perhaps, there’s no closer familial bond between relative metaphysical topics than the one shared by OBEs and remote viewing.

Remote viewing is a process that consists of a viewer receiving images and impressions about a remote location, which is usually called a target. The entire process is believed to be outside the boundaries of time and space, so the viewers are actually seeing real events as they develop in real time. Adepts at the process are so highly capable, they can tune into any location, person or object. Essentially, remote viewing is a technique that utilizes many aspects of extra sensory perception (ESP) to peer into distant ongoing events, whether they are from the past, present or future.

My last post introduced a small portion of information about shamanic practices. In always striving for there to be a method to my madness, throughout all of my blog posts, I like to lay some initial groundwork prior to getting a little weird… and so, it’s once again time for the weird.

About three years ago, while experiencing a major influx of intentional and unintentional out of body experiences (OBE), I had one of my most fascinating encounters. It occurred prior to drifting off to sleep, as I slowly entered into the state I like to call the twilight zone. Its technical name is the hypnagogic state, but the twilight zone sounds a lot cooler.

This is where we tiptoe between the waking world and the dreamscape. At certain times I have been able to enter this state while retaining full consciousness, without falling victim to the unconscious sleep state, and that’s what was occurring on this particular occasion. It’s slightly similar to becoming fully lucid, in the midst of a dream, minus all the amazing dream landscapes and scenarios.

When discussing life altering mystical and metaphysical practices, I often find myself coming back to many ancient (nameless) teachers that have been associated with understanding this wisdom for thousands and thousands of years. Tribal peoples, isolated from the influences of the rest of the world, had to rely heavily upon their natural instincts and the exploration of their inner awareness and knowledge.

In doing so, they tapped into the type of universal energy and power that I enjoy discussing and exploring, both in this blog and my personal life. Because of isolation and the time frame in which they lived, they were afforded the perfect opportunity for the development and attunement to the deeper subtleties of existence.
