Are you a channel?

My work has evolved past channeling. I walk in the world that lies beyond it.

Don't get me wrong. I used to call myself a channel. Based on what I knew at the time, the label was accurate. I did awesome work. But after doing this work for more than ten years I saw that the channeling label is limiting. It doesn't begin to describe all that I do. What I do is way more.

So how is what you do different from channeling?

I go beyond channeling. I infuse all my knowingness with my intuitive senses. I call upon and tap into the massive collective wisdom that is unseen but exists all around us. I combine my intuitive abilities with everything I know, experience, sense, and feel into and mix it all up into a big beautiful glorious yummy soup. Then I use my magical powers of soup-discernment to find your special bowl. The hot delicious bowl of soup that has your name on it and includes things like your fears, your life potentials, the state of your physical body, and your emotional patterns. Then I season your bowl of beautiful soup with super-useful and life-changing practices that I select or create just for you.

What I do compared to channeling is like comparing a multi-sensory rainbow-hued explosion experience of rich ripe sight, sound, feel, taste and smell to a 2"x2" black and white slide held with tweezers. Both contain information that is useful and valid. But one contains way more information than the other. Which one do you want?

Collective wisdom? What's up with that? Can anybody access it?

Collective wisdom comes from many places. Because of the deep inner work I've done, my innate gifts and talents, and a strong desire to do it, accessing and accurately interpreting collective wisdom is pretty effortless for me. We all have access to collective wisdom at any given time but your mileage may vary.

Humans. We humans have been around along time. And in that time we've lived and loved fought and evolved and made a ton of mistakes. We've amassed a boatload of wisdom in all that experience. Our collective ancestral memories are super powerful and filled with wisdom of the ages.

Unseen spirit dudes and dudettes. Call this whatever you want. Way more powerful than no-see-ums, unseen spiritual influences are a part of our experience in every moment. Astrological archetypes. Nature spirits. Beings and entities existing in dimensions we can't see. This stuff may intentionally be a mystery, but it is around us and affecting us at all times nonetheless. There is another boatload of wisdom here, usually about things we humans have a hard time grasping.

Who's the Polaris dude?

Polaris was my guiding star for many years. Now I am a guiding star. In 2006 I accessed new-to-me aspects of collective wisdom. This was Polaris. And in connecting with Polaris, my work shifted and expanded significantly. Hey, Polaris isn't the North Star -- awesome helper to voyagers all over the world for centuries -- for nothing, right? I did good work with Polaris. Really good work. And in 2010 I was ready to evolve past Polaris into the expansive greatness of collective wisdom. Awesome.

And Michael? That's not the Archangel Michael, is it?

When I was 17 I was introduced to a system of personality typing and understanding of the universe called The Michael Teachings. It made a lot of sense to me at the time and helped explain a lot of things: how I saw the world, how my experience differed from the experiences of other people, and how we are each responsible for the choices we make in our lives. The Michael Teachings gave me a useful template of understanding that I worked with for years. In 1999 when I studied shamanism I accessed information that had the flavor of the Michael entity I knew. After years of practice I 'came out' as a public Michael channel in 2005 and pioneered a practice of channeling for dozens of people in a single evening in an online text-chat environment. I still access Michael-type information for people who want it but it is not the focus of my work.

Not the same dude at all as Archangel Michael, sorry.

What's next? Have you evolved your work as far as it goes?

Not at all. I believe we should all stay hungry to stay sharp -- I am driven to engage ever deeper with both my inner world and the amazing and rich world around me. As I learn more about myself and about our beautiful world, I will continue to add to and hone what I bring to my experience with you.
