| D:Day22.2 | Let's look at the idea of channeling as simply an idea of expressing, but an idea of expression that is given and received, received and given. When the word channeling has been used in reference to spirituality, it has often been used to indicate an intermediary function. The channeler was perhaps seen as a mediator between the living and the dead or the world of spirit and the world of humanity. This idea separated the living and the dead, the spiritual and the human into two states, states that could—at their most basic levels—be seen as known and unknown states. The teacher in the example used was also an intermediary with the separation being between the known and the unknown. Thus, a channel could be seen as that through which the unknown moves into the state of knowing. This is the way in which life itself can be seen as a channel. Since the first transition involves realizing that you are the expression of the unknown and the only means of the unknown becoming known, it is important to discuss this in as many ways as possible to make this idea clear to you. You are life, and you are also surrounded by living forces channeling to you constantly. |
