This ‘channelling’ still seems unbelievable. Our rational left brains will never accept it. Even as Jean performs the act, she doesn’t believe it herself – this was especially so at the beginning.We first became interested in what discarnate entities had to say about life on Earth in the early 1990s through the published words of: Seth, Bartholomew, Emmanuel, White Eagle, and in works such as The Course in Miracles, The Only Planet of Choice , The Aquarian Gospel by Levi and many others. I was researching my book, Mind the Gap at that time. So we both had some background knowledge of the esoteric and we have friends and acquaintances who work as ‘mediums’ and spiritual healers.
The first words came about as a result of my frustration at not knowing which way to go next in my work as an astrologer. I felt I badly needed answers, some inside information. Also, I had been reading Conversations with God, a channelled work, by Neale Donald Walsch. So, with characteristic arrogance I thought, if Mr Walsch can tune in to receive these kind of answers, why can’t I?
Meanwhile, Jean was in mild shock at the thought of her approaching 80th birthday. Also, she had for the last 4 years been creating musical compositions which she said came to her ‘out of nowhere’. So, in an effort to do a practical exercise, and with nothing to lose, we sat down in separate rooms with written questions and pen poised - and we waited. (As Jean is not a natural ‘questioner’ I composed her questions as well.)
The result was that I managed to scribble down answers to all my questions in no time at all, while Jean took much longer. I waited impatiently. Finally we compared what we had. My answers, to be frank, sounded like my own voice. But as Jean read back her answers it was immediately obvious to me – she wasn’t so sure – that some other voice was speaking through her. I was astounded both by the quality of the voice and the content.
During the first days and weeks as Jean began to sense that something weird was going on (she doesn’t have quick reactions) she grew very alarmed. But over the months greater trust and the beginnings of a friendship with Arthur developed.
The actual process tends to happen in the evening when she is alone in an upstairs room. She lights a candle, she has a special crystal, and she settles down with a list of questions that I have prepared. She waits, sometimes for up to half an hour, before the first words of an answer enter her consciousness. One of her gifts, a pre-requisite, is that she can wait with a blank but somewhat expectant mind. We ask between 5 – 10 questions per session. It takes around 2 hours. Afterwards she is extremely tired.
She says it is not like taking dictation, but that a reply comes through to her already complete and she has to summon up the words to articulate it. She has learned to check with Arthur at the end of the session to see if she needs to make corrections or has left anything out. I know that many people are channelling these days. For me, it is a priceless treasure. Jean is not as attached to it as I am - perhaps that is part of her gift.
11th September 2003 ~ The First Questions:
Why can’t I find a way to be a better person?
What am I most fearful of?
Why am I just as afraid I’ll be discovered worthy?
How can I find faith in myself which will lead to becoming braver, willing to try something new?
How can I find that something new which results in a better self-image and courage to try it?
Why does the concept of God frighten me?
What is ‘hell’?
Why is it hard for me to believe in a God of love when all my life I have felt and acknowledged a guardian angel who somehow intervenes when things get beyond me?
I am now through most of my earthly life. Is there still work for me to do? Can I know the purpose? I am inevitably in age-related decline so opportunities are more limited.
Is there any way I can help the people who matter in my life?
