THE LIGHT EXPANSION CENTER

CHANNELING: Processes, Perks & Pitfalls

Melora through Joanna Neff (Jyoti Alla-An)

AT LIGHTHOUSE BOOKSTORE IN SUPERIOR, CO (4/13/07)

THE TOWER OF LIGHT MEDITATION

MELORA: Yes, and we are Melora, and we would like to talk you through a meditation called "The Tower of Light." This is one of the most delicious, and brief, meditations you can do to charge up your energy in the morning and to put a fully protective shield around yourself. Are you all willing to learn this? [All assent.] Good, and if you would, please, stand. Is there anyone here who's not particularly visual? It's more kinesthetic. [One person affirmed that she's more kinesthetic.] Okay. It's primarily visual, but you will probably be able to feel even more interesting things than the others.

Okay. Now please take some big, deep in-breaths as is comfortable for you. Don't force it. Make the out-breath go all the way out; the in-breath, all the way in. Let your arms dangle comfortably at your sides. We would like you to visualize a beautiful, blue light surrounding your body and permeating your body, so that it's about 9 inches out-in front and behind and all around-and about 16 inches above your head and about 16 inches below your feet. You'll find out the reason for this in a moment.

Feeling it is important too. One kind of channeling is also clairsentience--"clear sensing," and so try to feel that blue light and the frequency of that. It's not as dark as indigo. It will be your own particular frequency that you like and that will come to you naturally. Are you all surrounded by that ellipsoid of blue light? Good.

Now, about 16 inches above your head, within that blue but not touching your crown, is a beautiful globe of brilliant white light that is like burning magnesium. Are you able to visualize this there? Now feel showering down out of that globe of white light (which happens to be your Higher Self) that globe, showering little specks of that burning magnesium all down into the center of this ellipsoid. Are some of you feeling that as well as seeing it? Good.

Now, out of that same white, burning-magnesium-type, light, beautiful silvery sparkles are showering down until they fill with those white snowflake-type particles the entire inside, so that only a blue outline surrounds that ellipsoid. Tell us when that is happening for you. That should be feeling pretty good right now. This is the power of Light. Know that this is protection. Know that this connects you directly with your Higher Self--and fills you and rejuvenates you with life force and, again, through a bi-directional communication with your Higher Self. Enjoy that for another moment. Then just let that fade from your vision and experience, knowing that it has not faded in reality.

When you can tear yourself away, please be seated again. Good, and we suggest you do this in the morning-=if you remember: especially in the morning--and, if you wish, at night right before you go to sleep, surround yourself with this beautiful, exquisite energy. It's one of the most powerful protections you can do. [End of meditation.]

 

PROCESSES, PERKS & PITFALLS OF CHANNELING

As you can imagine, we would appreciate this within our experience with our Jyoti as this has been happening for what you term "years"--about 13 of your years. As she mentioned before, she links with us in consciousness. Our work with her has depended upon calibrating bi-directionally from 6th-7th dimension, where we exist as a group consciousness, perfectly balanced between "male" and "female." (We chose the name Melora because of its tonal resonance and to remind our Jyoti of her life in Classical Greece. Melora, in Greek, means "Golden Apple." You have Helen of Troy, and so forth, and our Jyoti was singing and playing the part of Helen of Troy in a Greek amphitheater at that time.) Often time when you ask a guide, "What is your name?" and you hear "Kalua-lua," or whatever, it's not ring's signature energy, as Melora stands for our signature energy.

Also, it is our Jyoti's agreement at the Soul level with us that in this process of collaboration with us, she is to grow spiritually because she is consciously on an Ascension path. Therefore, one of the aspects of channeling that we wish to discuss with you this evening is that if you're channeling "Zork from Planet X," who's an entity outside of your vertical Soul lineage--or who is not closely aligned with your Soul Hierarchy--then chances are, you will not experience soul growth in channeling such an entity. Information may be brought through you that is quite amazing, but that information might still remain only at the intellectual level, and information does not automatically equal wisdom. Do you understand?

As we have said, wisdom represents those value points--what our Jyoti calls "spiritual brownie points [laughs]--that you earn in a lifetime by learning whatever that lesson is--and that goes with you when you go through transition. That goes with you from embodiment to embodiment. Metaphysical knowledge, itself, does not go with you. This is one of the deepest, most profound differences between sheer knowledge and Soul wisdom that you experience as a result of growth: facing the challenges you chose to face when you came into embodiment and passing with flying colors, as it were. Now that kind of wisdom, and that kind of growth, depends on a heart-spirit connection and not on some kind of mental monster (your mental body) who has controlled you all your lifetime and maybe even in other embodiments.

Our Jyoti would prefer we not say this, but it is totally appropriate. (She thinks it will sound too harsh.) What we would like to say is: You know the computer term "Garbage in; garbage out"? Okay. What are one's motives in wanting to channel? Are they because of feeling inferior--having a lack of self-esteem and therefore over-compensating by being on a power trip and wanting to look really cool? Garbage in . . . Or is it with a desire to grow and to know at levels that reach beyond levels of what you're able to read in books, what you're able to learn in a workshop? This has to do with your transaction with your Self as a being: "Self-realization."

The other factor about garbage in, garbage out is: Who are you really channeling? In one of the handouts that we promised our Jyoti we would discuss, we show how most of mass consciousness is in the Astral Plane, or what you also refer to as 4th dimension. The problem with this, as you can imagine, is that you have all the news, the politics. You have pornography. You have all of the ways people can numb themselves with drugs and other addictions of all sorts-and really all of the worst, kind of in the middle of the Astral Plane.

In the lower octave of the Astral Plane you have earthbound human spirits who are looking toward you--to live to you and attach to you instead of going to the Light, to the higher octave of 4th dimension, where you approach Christ Consciousness, and where you are heart centered and love-centered. Thus, what happens to channelers whose motivations are not of the highest is that they become vulnerable immediately to the earthbound spirits who would love to live through them, drink a lot of alcohol because they died before they could drink as much alcohol as they wanted, or whatever. You have negative ETs; you have ghosts and poltergeists; you have Reptilians.

You have all sorts of unsavory, creepy entities who would like to speak through you and make you look good enough that they get the tradeoff of . . . keeping you from Ascending in consciousness. They keep you at a level of fear; they keep you at a level of lower-vibrational priorities, and that's their food. It's energetic food for them. This is why so few actually…as our Jyoti puts it: "How does anyone ever get out of here?!" The density is so great and the path is so difficult.

Thus, this is one of the great pitfalls of channeling: So many entities are stepping up to that microphone, and because Earth is a free-will zone--whatever you choose, even though your angels are saying, "Oh, no! Oh, nooooo! She's not going to do that. Please!"--they have to honor your free will, and there you go. You've got Zork from Planet X, and you're not going to experience Soul growth. You may be given some accurate information, but it is coming from a level that is not going to help the people for whom you're channeling information and it is not going to benefit you at the Soul level.

If your High Self and you have a really good bi-directional communication, and if your High Self really is interested in what is of benefit for your growth, and so forth, your High Self will be as clear and direct with you as possible. It's what you usually term your inner guidance. Now, oftentimes you have inner guidance but you don't listen to it. Right? [laughs] The more you listen to your inner guidance--and, again, this is about discernment…If it's coming from your mental body, and it's about something you want but something you don't actually need, you can always circumvent the messages that are coming through and then somehow pretend they're coming from your inner guidance.

It takes great self-discipline-it takes great commitment and great effort to keep moving upward, as you put it, and not to let distractions over here--pettiness and social pressure to be less than you can be and all the other things that have held people back century after century, era after era: the church, the monarchy. Fear of death is a major one for most people, and so most religious say: This is it, and so of course you're going to be afraid to die if you believe there's only one lifetime.

However, we have news for you: Most of those people whom you think of as in the Old Testament times and even in the New Testament times were fully cognizant of reincarnation. The Nicean Council, in about 300 A.D., just nicely got rid of all references to reincarnation in the scriptures that they could find, except for a couple of peculiar ones. We wonder why, for example, they didn't get rid of the one where Jesus was asked: "Are you Elijah" (the Old Testament prophet)?

Why are we talking about this? It's because lifetime after lifetime you are born, and before you're able to speak you remember, in some conceptualized way, who you are and where you came from. That remembrance slowly fades as you start to become verbal. Thus, the biggest challenge for you as Souls--especially for those in embodiment-lifetime after lifetime--is remembering who you really are. This figures in directly to processes of channeling. [What Melora did not make explicit here is that she considers receiving information clairvoyantly, clairaudiently, clairsentiently, etc., actually to be channeling.]

Channeling: Processes

In the physical process of channeling, say that you have clairvoyant abilities. For most people, when you developed from the ancient brain stem/cerebellum to this neocortex that took you into the techno age, most of you lost the ability to communicate telepathically. There are tribal groups on the Earth today who still communicate telepathically, and it is so natural for them that they don't even have a word for it in their language. What happened with the development of the neocortex was this intervening mechanism called the "censor." When ESP-type communications happen, the censor says: "Don't tell anyone about this; they'll think you're crazy"--or "You're hallucinating" or "Wake up and smell the coffee."

Information comes in all the time as energy. Our Jyoti likes to give the example of when her "Stark Trek" theme ring tone was downloaded to her cellular phone. Of course it was a wireless transmission, just like when people access the internet wirelessly. All information is energy--what we call "energy information packets." You just might not have the cell phone or computer to receive information.

With a clairvoyant, the energy information packets come in and contact the visual cortex of her brain. In other words, there is a physiological explanation for this. She is able to translate that immediately into pictures, and if her brain allows the information to come in holographically there will be audio too. There might also be clairsentient feelings in her body and emotions as well. Not only are the pictures there but also the explanations, or "narration," are there. Without the "censor" that person, without hesitation or distortion, that energy information packet, as complex as it is, is translated instantly and accurately.

With our Jyoti this process is done more clairsentiently. She knows. It's not as though she hears us talking inside her and then repeats what we're "saying." It comes in as a whole holographic construct, including many complex ideas, and it is presented to you in just that way… in the now moment, from moment-to-moment.

Then there are people who are clairaudient. The throat is the center of telepathy: clear hearing. You hear through your throat when you're telepathic. How many of you here have received telepathic information? Okay. Good. Isn't it as if you know, but you're tempted to think that you heard something? Yes.

However, understand that all of this is coming in as pure energy in the form of information that is actually contacting parts of your brain. The part(s) of your brain that are uncensored--that you've allowed reception/expression--are going to determine the form that translation takes: clairvoyant, clairaudient, clairsentient, etc. It's like the telephone operator played by Lily Tomlin, plugging in the lines to make the connections: "one ringy-dingey." However, if you need to censor what's coming through for some reason, you all are perfectly capable of taking that information that is purely given and totally changing it. Isn't this what often happens when you wake up from a dream? Your mind can't make sense of it so you change it and start reinterpreting. Or you say: "I know this sounds really stupid, but in the dream I knew that it meant…" such-and-such. Do you see?

We have observed that receiving information clairvoyantly provides the greatest opportunity for distortion. That's why when a clairvoyant is also able accurately to process accompanying information holographically, as a whole complex, it keeps her from distorting the information that comes through. Now a lot of people who call themselves psychics, clairvoyants, or whatever err when they start interpreting the pictures because they don't have the whole holographic package. Any questions so far? You must be mesmerized by Melora. [laughter]

All right. We have talked about clairsentience, clairaudience, and clairvoyance, and so forth. These are the terms that have come into usage, but you know that you can receive information in combinations of ways. We will tell you that if you want to learn to change or enhance modes of perception for yourself, all you have to do is access the location in the body that's associated with that. Our Jyoti usually is clairvoyant only when in-session. She rarely sees clairvoyantly with her eyes open. Therefore, she practices developing her clairvoyant abilities with specific techniques.

Exercises for Developing Intuition
Who, among you, would like to enhance your clairvoyant abilities? Okay. Those of you who are already adept at this know that you can always strive to be even clearer. Right? All you do is physically--consider doing this with your eyes closed if you don't want to creep each other out--look up to your 3rd eye. It's like you're really looking up to your brow chakra with your physical eyes. As soon as you do that, and you ask a question that requires a visual answer, you should receive a picture or pictures in your inner eye. An example is that one of the best things to request of a personal guide is: "Help me be clear about what's standing in my way of…" "Help me be clear about what my next step is." Ask such a question with your eyes looking up physically to your third eye and see what happens. [pause] What happened?

RESPONSE 1: I asked a pragmatic question. My son is supposed to be watching the puppy. I asked how the puppy is doing because the puppy has a little kennel cough. When I did that I saw the puppy all alone, so my son is not home. [laughter]

Seems like a very hand process for mothers, doesn't it? Or jealous girlfriends: "Where is he, really?!" Thank you. Anybody else?

RESPONSE 2: When I did it I heard voices, like a male and a female, talking, and they answered my question.

Oh. Okay. You went right to the clairaudient! You're probably naturally clairaudient so you just went right for it. That's fine. Here [indicating the temples, right above the ears], so for those of you who would like to hear information "spoken," you're going to be focusing on the temples, physically. So you're going to focus there [indicating just above the ears] and ask a question; see what happens. Try that. If it helps you to touch both your temples, then do so. We were just showing you where to focus to receive information clairaudiently. Then ask a question that would require hearing an answer.

You still need to practice. It's not as if you can play Rachmaninov after one piano lesson. [laughter] At least you know that you can actually focus on specific areas of the body--like here in the solar plexus. Then, if you want to project a message to someone, you focus here [indicating the throat chakra] and then send the message out from right there.
The reason that we went through this whole exercise with you was to tell you that . . . it's like the study of Neurolinguistic Programming, where they cure phobias by having you switch modes of perception. So if you normally experience vertigo and dizziness with heights, and you sing "The Star Spangled Banner" and then walk over to the window of some 22nd-story building, and look out, you will not experience vertigo. This is because you've switched modes of perception by singing that song.

It is the same way with intuition. You can have all of those forms of intuition operating if you practice. However, usually you will be selecting the one that is already innate to you and that you've been using for a long time. However, we wanted to teach you other options. If you want to become more clairvoyant, make your eyes feel as if they're look-ing right here [indicating the third eye chakra] and practicing.


Processes of Channeling
The process of channeling as we experience it with our Jyoti…and, again, remember that the wiring was set up years ago…is in synchrony and with total permissions. We have been persistent about her always giving permission. We have told our Jyoti: "If you want to say 'Who Are You?' a million times, we will say, 'We are Melora'. We don't have ego so that's fine. If you feel you want to smudge before you work with us--you know: light some white sage or light candles, or set up all the protections you feel you need--that's fine. We encourage that." We encourage that for all of you, as well, when you do this kind of work.

What we recommend for all of you if you open to channel is to find the highest Being of the Light who can communicate with you right now. Don't just say "the highest Being of the Light" because you might not even be able to synch-up with that being. "I am asking to connect with the Highest Being of the Light who can communicate with me right now." Usually you'll get a palpable feeling when that connection is made. This is going through your High Self by the way; it's not going "around" your High Self. It's going through the Soul Star about eight inches above your head and to your High Self. Your High Self then allows (or disallows) according to the parameters you have set.

Setting Parameters
The next step is setting parameters. For example, our Jyoti said to us: "Melora, I want you to be my gatekeeper. That means: No one is able to 'come through' and speak through me unless I know who it is and I give permission." We strongly recommend this. When she first started working with us she lived in South Boulder. She asked her best friend to be a kind of "guinea pig" so she could practice. This friend was most, most skeptical about this whole MelorA thing. [laughs]

This friend of now more than 20 years has been a long-time devotee of Yogananda, seriously into kryia yoga, and very devoted. Our Jyoti was sitting practically knee-to-knee with her friend (she likes to be in people's energy field when she does in-person sessions because she gets all this information), and here's what happened [laughs]. All of a sudden, Jyoti, at her right side, hears us say: "It's Yogananda." Understand that the following process took place in a nanosecond, but to our Jyoti it felt like it went on for a long time. Inside herself, she asked us: "THE Yogananda?" We replied: "Yes. The Yogananda." "Yogananda Paramahansa?" "Yes. Yogananda Paramahansa."

In the meantime, her friend was already crying because she recognized Yogananda's energy. Because of all the years she had been working with him, she knew it was he right away. Tears were streaming down her face, although our Jyoti didn't realize it because she has her eyes closed when she works with us. Yogananda then asked to take the hands of our Jyoti's friend. When she gave permission, Yogananda called her "Daughter" and gave her a private message. That is the only time Yogananda has come through our Jyoti. We had to reassure our Jyoti that it was really Yogananda because she didn't believe it! She could have said, "No. I don't want to deal with Yogananda," and it would have ended there.
We strongly suggest that you set up communications with a Higher Being whom you trust to be your gatekeeper. We want to tell you that there are beings called "Separates." When you're communicating with St. Germain, the Lady Master Quan Yin, or Archangel Michael, or with whomever, it's critical to be discerning, out of your free-will intention, to ask for "the real Archangel Michael." When the real Archangel Michael comes in, you ask: "Who are you?" You ask this every time until you're able to recognize his signature energy every time.

When we work with people and introduce them to their spiritual guides for the first time, we say: "Feel what this guide's energy is like." Oftentimes a name will be given that represents that Being's resonance. Use that name to call in that specific guide, and make sure you have that feeling that you know comes when you really are connecting with that guide. We will tell you that there are "separates" for all the beings you can name: There are St. Germain separates; there are Isis separates. There are all these beings who pretend they're these Ascended Masters, and so you have to be very careful that you're actually dealing with these real Ascended Masters. (Now, many of these separates kind of mean well. However, some of them do not mean well, and they can really harm you.)

"Archangel Michael" Pretender: Exposed

Again, when our Jyoti was living in South Boulder (she had been working with us for about two years), a friend of our Jyoti had this so-called "channel" in her home for an evening talk. A big group of people had gathered there to hear "Archangel Michael." Our Jyoti was kind of sitting in the back and this person started talking. The channeler's energy felt sort of "greasy" to our Jyoti. It felt really icky to her. It's not the words they're saying; it's the quality of the energy. You must always discern the quality of the energy.

If you're totally a mental person, you're not going to be tuning in to the energy at all. You're going to be thinking, "Oh, I'm taking notes. This is really important!" If you have that heart-spirit connection, however, you're able to discern whether something is authentic because every being really knows what is true.

Here's what happened next: Our Jyoti says, "Who are you?" [laughs] (We taught her this.) Whatever being was coming through the channeler said, "They say I am Archangel Michael." Then our Jyoti said, "I have been in the presence of two enlightened beings in my life, and I assure you that your energy is nothing like theirs." Everything then fell apart. The person stopped channeling. Then it was like rats leaving a sinking ship. Everybody left, and our Jyoti went out the front door, followed by the hostess, who said: I'm so sorry. I heard that she was really good." Thus, just because someone says they're "Archangel Michael" or any other being, don't just accept that. Don't just accept any entity who's pretending to be Archangel Michael. You can tell what's true by the quality of the information and by the quality (frequency) of the energies coming through.

The Quan Yin Separate
Our Jyoti has just asked us to tell you about the Quan Yin separate, the Quan Yin pretender, she encountered one evening. What's interesting about this story is that our Jyoti progressed from needing to expose fraudulent channeling to making a different choice, a year or two later, with the Quan Yin pretender. See if you catch on to what she learned in the process as time passed.

This person was advertised as channeling Quan Yin. Our Jyoti really loves Quan Yin, so she said to herself: Oh. This could be cool. Let's see what happens. A small group gathered in a candle-lit room. Again, the energy just really was kind of slimy. The "channel" used an imitation Asian-style inflection and pronunciation--talked the way she thought Quan Yin would talk. However, our Jyoti tuned right into the energy and said to herself: This isn't Quan Yin.

Instead of exposing the channel as a pretender, this is what our Jyoti thought: These people are making their own free-will choices. For whatever reason they're letting themselves fall for this Quan Yin pretender. I think I'll just quietly leave. What she learned instead of "I am a warrior. I must expose what is false" was to go to a higher place, the way your guides describe you when they know you are making a mistake: "This is herchoice." Our Jyoti said to herself: "My choice is about me, and so I choose to leave because I know this isn't Quan Yin."

How You Know You're Working with a Higher Being
When we started working with our Jyoti everybody, including our Jyoti, said: "This is information that is so way-high-above what Jyoti knows. We know that this is a high source." (We do not do fortune telling, and we will get to that a bit later.) The information is of high quality, and a Being of the Light will never make you feel guilty or uncomfortable. You will always feel love. They will never shake their fingers at you; they will never make demands of you. Again: All beings of the Light honor free will. Only beings of the darkness don't care about your free will. They'll ride rough-shod over you. They scoff at permissions and boundaries. Always discern whether the energy is of high-quality. Do you feel a loving, comfortable, exquisite energy?

The Pitfalls of Channeling
Now, moving in the direction of the pitfalls of channeling…say you're in a depressed state. You're feeling bad about yourself. Channeling can be a way to aggrandize yourself, to make you feel good about yourself because you haven't really done your self-healing. Your own self-esteem must be earned. Your own soul growth cannot be given to you by anyone. It can be facilitated, as we continue to help our Jyoti, but she's the one who has to give permission, make the commitment and follow through with self-discipline.

This is why most people's consciousness…and this is according to David Hawkins in his book Power vs. Force is below 200. Consciousness level 200 is the point at which you have the courage to look at yourself and say, "I need to change this. I'm not happy with the way I relate to other people" or "I'm not happy with the way I'm progressing," or whatever. It takes courage and honesty to look at yourself and say "I need to work on myself." From that point forward, once you've reached that threshold usually you can keep advancing to higher and higher consciousness.

Now, the highest consciousness you can attain in the body is 1000. That was Jesus, Krishna and [Shakyamuni] Buddha [or Buddha Gautama]. Most people are around 100-125 in their level of consciousness. Down at the lower end you have shame and guilt and fear--all the emotions that the astral entities we were talking about love to feed on. Fear, guilt and shame-shame is the lowest, below guilt. That's a level of consciousness of about 20. Such archangels as Michael resonate in the millions! We're talking frequencies here.

You can feel it, palpably, in your body and in your emotions when you're near a being of higher-vibrational energy. This is what discernment tells you. Thus, if you have a vulnerability because you're doing wishful thinking, or you're in denial, or you're an unhealed healer of too great a magnitude you shouldn't be working with other people because you still need to heal yourself. You become vulnerable to entities who will make you feel better about yourself and give you all kinds of great information and speak through you so that others think Oh. She's really a terrific channel. However, what is the cost to you? Staying in place or going backwards--oftentimes going backwards in your Soul evolution.

Thus, even though we don't see soul evolution as points on a chart it is useful because there are stages of consciousness that you go through--thresholds of 300, 500 and so forth. 500 is where you come into total heart-centered, love consciousness: what you're used to considering as Christ Consciousness. As David Hawkins said (and you will relate to this), about 78% of people on the Earth are below that threshold of 200 . Doesn't that make sense if you think about it? How few really are able to withstand the constant assault of mediocrity on their desire to be excellent and their desire to grow in consciousness, to ascend in consciousness.

When all around you 78% of people are petty and mean, and into their cups . . . you know: Everything in moderation. Even our Jyoti has the occasional glass of wine. This isn't about being a teetotaler; it's about being in balance. If you're a thorough-going unhealed healer you have no business going out and pretending to facilitate the healing of other people.

What happens when negative entities attach to you, possess you--or when earthbound human spirits affix to you--is that it damages your aura. Oftentimes there will be tears or holes in your aura, and then you become even more vulnerable. Therefore, imagine the proverbial unhealed healer working with people, and the person has dark entities and the "healer" has dark entities. It's like a picnic for the dark entities, for the energies of these emotions and thoughts are like food for them.

If you don't detect that your own aura is in a weakened state, then you just go downhill from there: chronic fatigue syndrome, cancer. There are two charts we want to talk about that are in the handouts. The reason our Jyoti didn't give you the handouts at the beginning of this talk is that she didn't want you to get distracted mentally with all the contents of the handouts.

Lower Psychism
One is about doing lower psychism. There are 38 known--at least from Earth perspective--kinds of dark entities associated with doing lower psychism, channeling lower-astral entities, doing séances, even some full-moon rituals and some shamanic rituals.

[See "Who Is in Charge?" from the Sanctus Germanus Foundation.]

We will tell you why shamanic work isn't all that shamans promise, or that shamanism isn't the glamorous thing people often make it out to be. In the past, in its own milieu, shamanic work was done with a consciousness of a tribal people who were all there to support each other. If the shaman worked with someone to exorcise demons, or whatever, the whole community was there to support that person. They had herbal remedies, and they were given loving care as they slowly integrated everything back together.

A drumbeat sounds really great, but it appeals to (resonates with) the lower chakras. Heaven knows, in the world today, you don't need any more lower-chakra distractions. You need to come into balance of the upper chakras and the lower chakras. Rap music, bass drum and bass guitar resonate with the first chakra and sometimes the second chakra. That throws you out of balance. It's not that it's "bad" or "naughty"--it's that it puts you out of balance.

Pornography
The other chart is about what our Jyoti and others who do soul clearance have discovered in the past year and a half as the most horribly pervasive way for people to be possessed: To become involved in pornography: viewing pornography on the internet and viewing pornographic films. Again: We are not being Puritanical about this. There are 33, from Earth perspective, kinds of dark entities, eight of which are Luciferic, that can attach to a person as a result of pornography. There's a chart about that because there are also all kinds of elemental spirits and earthbound spirits that can affix to you. There are also planetary energies that can afflict you. These all wear your aura down and make you open to possession--sometimes even to demonic possession.

That's why our Jyoti included these in your packet: again, not to be puritanical and say "naughty, naughty" but to say: Discern, be aware of, what you're inviting in if you do lower psychism and look at pornography, and so forth. (We're now kind of scanning the handouts [with my eyes closed! --J.N.] to see if we've left any out.)

There's a color chart on the 3rd-dimensional interests, and then the big middle section on the astral plane showing the dark entities here [indicates the lower part of the astral plane]. Then there's mass consciousness and then the higher octave of the 4th dimension, being on what we see as a silvery-gold leading to 5th-dimensional consciousness. When you are inviting the highest being of the light who can communicate with you right now, you want to a being of at least 5th dimension.

Fortune Telling
(Many times Melora has said to clients: "We are not psychic. We do not access the astral plane or do fortune telling." Melora does, however, communicate with people's Higher Selves and spiritual guides to get such information. This fact may make more sense below, regarding who you might unwittingly be dealing with if you're getting information from the Astral Plane. -- J.N.)

Now, for a lot of psychics the problem with accessing the 5th Dimension and higher is that they're used to accessing the Akashic Records through entities in the astral plane. It's like the lower-astral entities are their little messengers, and they're reading the Akasha, bringing back the information and saying: "Yes. On July 5th you'd better go to your Aunt Mathilda's and not your Aunt Ruth's." This brings up the subject of fortune telling.

We do not do fortune telling, which is different than counseling. What happens with fortune telling is, again, "garbage in, garbage out." If I come to you, and I'm all troubled because I lost my job or my boyfriend just left me, I am not in an emotional state where I can make a high choice about the questions I'm going to ask. If I come to you because our vibrations are similar, because I'm an unhealed healer and I feel comfortable with you because you're also an unhealed healer, then those lower frequencies are going to invite sources of information that is not of the highest.

What's going to happen is this: You're going to be predisposed to one outcome and you're not going even to let yourself entertain the number of other options that are available to you and variables that will take place between this moment and that moment on July 5th. That limits you in what you will allow your consciousness to accept, and between then and now all of those people will have changed partners in the dance and when you get to July 5th, the forecast choice might not be the most beneficial outcome for you.

The other negative outcome of fortune telling is: If you empower me, as the one telling your fortune, to create your future for you, where's your empowerment? Where's you creating your life and you being empowered to say: "I am responsible for the choices I make each step I take to find knowledge and wisdom. I am responsible from this moment. Okay, so I had a lousy childhood, and they were all crazy." When you're three, obviously you couldn't choose. They had the power and you didn't. However, now, if I choose in this now moment to be responsible for everything, that's the moment of my empowerment. If I turn my power over to you as my fortune teller, then I accept what you say as the only outcome because I've empowered you to create my future. I'm either in the same place [I haven't grown spiritually] or I've gone backwards.

And now are there any questions? [long pause]

QUESTION: Actually, I have a question about something that's sort of practical.

MELORA: Good! [laughter]

QUESTION: It's sort of where I hang out a lot right now. I guess I'm not really clear who's . . . When I get inside some information or revelations, I know they've come from "another place" but not from an evil source. But I'm clueless at having arrived at that state. When I get a revelation I feel very grateful that I've been open enough to hear it, or whatever. Is that channeling? I don't get into a space energetically where I feel an entity or that kind of thing, but I get these revelations daily from places that don't come from my everyday waking mind. They couldn't, because, you know: I'm very little and small. [laughs]

MELORA: The shorter and more direct answer to your question is that…our Jyoti has experienced your work, and because of this we can assure you that you are accessing multi-dimensionally. You not merely accessing guides that are with you in this lifetime. Through your Higher Self and through the communications that you've set up you're accessing holographically and multi-dimensionally. That's why your work has that resonance of the whole truth and guidance. The voices you're hearing are actually translations, in an auditory way, of energies bringing in information. In that moment it happens to be received as "hearing," but there's a lot going on at one time. Somehow you're able to compute and organize that.

The other aspect of your work is that without being some Pollyanna, without lying to people, you always enhance their understanding of themselves in a loving, beneficial way. Our Jyoti saw Jean Houston do this during a talk in Denver recently. How many of you know of Dr. Houston? She called young people up to the stage [one-at-a-time] and asked them to name some major "fault" in themselves. One young woman came up on the stage with Dr. Houston and said, "I'm always getting in trouble because I procrastinate." Dr. Houston studied the young woman and said, "That's because you have an exquisite sense of timing. You know when the time is not right." She wasn't just lying to this young person. It's what you [indicating the questioner] do too: You're able to turn something that seems like a self-criticism or a weakness and put it into a perspective that takes the self-judgment away.

Be discerning without being judgmental. This is one of the great steps forward in spiritual development. We have said that in nature there is oil and there is water. Do they mix? No. Is there judgment about that? No. Why would you force yourself to be with someone with whom you're not resonant? Just to prove you're spiritually evolved? If you could just say, "I'm not resonant with that person," leave it at that and not say "They're bad" or "I'm bad," then everything would be fine. That would be ideal. You would realize you're not resonant with that person and then just kind of drift away.

"Channeling"
The longer answer to your question has to do with defining what channeling is. What people accept as channeling has become . . . you know: Kleenex is a brand name, but people have come generically to call all tissues Kleenex. Aspirin was a brand name, but people now call all such products aspirin. Most people wouldn't understand what we've told our Jyoti, for example, about the process we use with her, which is consciousness linking. She just says, "I'm a channel," because most people don't know what consciousness linking is.

When we were talking awhile ago about the optimal situation, it would really be when you're linking in consciousness with your Higher Self and with what we call your "verti-cal Soul hierarchy." Your vertical soul hierarchy also includes your Oversoul and "above" to what we call your "Highest Divine Guide." This is our perception of the highest aspect of you that you can communicate with. These would be the big "hubs" of your vertical hierarchy.

Peripheral to that, and in resonance with you, are your personal guides, guardians and angels. At the Soul level, from lifetime to lifetime, Guardians come with you. For example, our Jyoti has four guardians, and one of them, here [indicates front-right], is the one that casts out demons. Guides, however, can come and go according to the issues you're working with. Some of these guides come forward and become more prominent. They would be the ones you're "hearing." In certain kinds of situations, and according to their particular "expertise," they will step forward to share with you and make suggestions.

There are guides you have when you're children. Our perception of "the terrible twos" is that you're pre-verbal and you have these beautiful angels that you see and experience all the time. However, you're pre-verbal so you're not saying, "Mommy! Look at the beautiful angels!" It just wouldn't occur to you as a two-year-old that everybody doesn't see these angels, and so you don't point them out.

At around age two you also start separating and individuating from your mother because you're supposed to learn to make your way in the world. You're supposed to become an independent human being. You start to leave behind the memories of who you are as a being, and the process of forgetting begins to happen. Around two years of age there's a changing of the guides. All of a sudden they're gone. You've lost them, and you begin your litany of "No! No! No!" that is so prevalent at age two, with all of the acting out. Being pre-verbal, you can't say, "Mommy, where did they go? I miss them." At various stages of your life and your growth your guides will change but your guardians accompany you in each lifetime.

Any more questions? [no response--laughs] In that case, our Jyoti is saying, "Well, then, let's end the talk and give them the handouts." We thank you so very much for giving us this opportunity to serve you in the Light, and we are Melora.

Conclusion of Talk, with Joanna Neff
Did you feel Melora's energy?

RESPONSE 1: I gotta make this comment: I don't really understand the context in which Melora said this, but I've been wrestling with parting with a friend who I don't resonate with. [laughter]

RESPONSE 2: I don't know how that followed in the sequence of your lecture…but I'm struggling with the same thing!

Well, it's just that all of a sudden Melora had this awareness and she decided to address it. You know what? Her desire is always to serve. It was like something drifted in, and Melora just jumped on it. See, I consciously work with her but I get kind of "out there." But I make editorial comments while Melora is talking--like, "Oh, Melora, please. They're not gonna believe that." Sometimes she tells on me, but she always asks my permission first. What I said in that moment was "How did you get to there? You usually give better transitions, Melora."

Obviously Melora felt it important to tell both of you not to judge yourselves for wanting to sever from whoever those people are and not to judge them either. Just realize that you're like oil and water: You don't mix.

RESPONSE 2: Exactly. See you later! [laughter]

Yes, but usually we say they're bad or we're bad. Melora was saying "Don't go there." Just say "We're not resonant" and okay. Cool! Thank you for the insight." You don't have to torture yourself just to prove you're "spiritual." [laughter] And now, the hand-outs.

Here is "The Tower of Light" meditation. Then there's this handout on consciousness levels. This is from Power vs. Force. Look at the bottom: consciousness level 20--humiliation, shame. At the top of the chart you'll see the Emotion, Process, Life-View, and so forth. At consciousness level 20 there's the Process of destruction. That's guilt and blame. Emotion of blame. Life-view of evil; God-view of vindictive. If you see all of these sorts of symptoms before you get to the Courage level of 200, you've got 78% of the people on Earth. And you'll recognize your co-workers in here. [laughter] You know: jobs from hell…and unhealed healers.

That's what Melora meant when she told you that if you're operating from this level, and here's something that Melora "forgot" to say (or felt something else was more important at the time): Be careful who you have work with your aura. Be very, very, very care-ful. They just wave their hands over you and say, "I'm going to heal your aura." Oh, my gosh! Be very careful. You can ask your High Self, and say, "Whatever healing angels I have, please scan me and see if I have holes in my aura."

Look how hard you have to work to get up to consciousness level 200! Then you have these other levels of Neutrality, Willingness, Acceptance and Reason before you even get to Love. Each of these has an emotion and a process, so Neutrality is 250: "Emotion of Trust, Process of Release, Satisfactory Life-View and Enabling God-View." But the closer you get to each threshold the more resistance you have, and so the more resistance you have, the more self-discipline it takes to keep going because it means you're getting ready to go to another level of consciousness. You have to say to that part of you that's trying to hold you back: "Stop it!"

The next handout is the one that shows the Reptilians, discarnate spirits, negative ETs and earthbound spirits. These are human earthbound spirits. These are people who have passed over but who don't realize they're dead (or who won't accept that they're dead). Recently I called a friend in New York to wish her a happy birthday, and at some point in the conversation my friend said that her late father had been an alcoholic. After he passed over he somehow attached to her, and she started drinking like a fish. Luckily, she found a bona fide healer who caught on to the fact that my friend's father had affixed to her and then got rid of him.

RESPONSE: In the work that I do, I've seen where an addict dies and then attaches to another addict.

Absolutely. And in ashrams, my friends. What happens with many gurus in ashrams is that their power is given to them by your shakti and by the shakti that you share as a group. You're dumping your karma while you chant and meditate. Say you happen to be in a weakened state, and you have holes in your aura. You say "Oh, that's great. We're all releasing." But where does their stuff go? On you! So you have to be careful of group energies too, and that's why we gave you "The Tower of Light" visualization. It should rejuvenate you, and help heal your aura and raise your aura tone and strengthen your aura, and give you that protection. It's very powerful. The first time I did "The Tower of Light," my cats kind of draped themselves over me like mink stoles. They loved that energy.

Here are the charts on the dark-entity/energy afflictions that can come from doing lower psychism and viewing pornography. The problem with pornography is not just that it drags down relationships. Look at how many kinds of entities and dark energies that affix to you.

QUESTION: Are you talking about beings that have never been in a body or that just died that are harmful?

Well, there are earthbounds but also, at the top, there are 8 kinds of Luciferics that get attracted by the energy of pornography. Then there's "carnal." That's carnal as opposed to Holy Love. We're not talking about a couple who deeply love each other and enjoy that intimacy. We're talking about just lust. Sexual excess. Again, it's about imbalance. Violent sexual movies, and so forth. UFO energies are always interesting. I tried to put explanatory information in sections so that they're not just terms. There are fire spirits, air spirits and water spirits, and so forth.

As identified by Linda Greene, there are 38 kinds of dark entities/energies associated with lower psychism. Linda brought forth these frequencies--they're actually sequences--that represent these beings, and she identified more than 300-total. When doing soul clearance, these are the sequences I dowse to find out what's afflicting them. This is how I derived these charts, only I did not/would not include the sequences.

The column heading "Frequency of Attraction" has to do with free-will choices people make that lower their vibration to the point where they become attractive to the astral entities, and so forth. Included are addictions, which are a way of slowly killing yourself over a long period of time.

QUESTION: So if you go through a period in your life where you're despondent, or even suicidal, but then you pull out of that, is doing this kind of meditation [referring to "The Tower of Light"] going to take care of healing the damage that may have been done?

Yes. For two reasons: The main one is that you've raised your frequency, and the dark entities tend just to bounce off of you. They dislike the higher frequency and so they vacate you. When you're being attacked your instinct is to go fetal, to pull in. The real protection is to expand your aura, which works as protection only when your aura is healthy and strong. When your aura is strong your frequency is much higher. The second reason is that when you choose to do this meditation, you're telling your Higher Self "I don't want these things. I want to be in a higher space." Then you give your Higher Self permission to safeguard you against the lower-frequency energies. Your Higher Self goes "Yes!" and comes in when you give it permission. It's the same way with your personal guides, when you give them permission to come in and assist you.

And so the main problem when dark entities attach to you is the weakening of the aura. One of the ways of strengthening your aura would be in doing this, or a similar, meditation and to receive higher-vibrational energy from your Higher Self. Again, you are giving permission, which is the first thing they're looking for because they always honor your free will. If you just say "Help me," they don't know what you need help with, and so it's good to be as specific as possible: "Please remove these negative energies; please remove these negative entities." "Please help me be clear about how I attracted them"--not just "please resolve this"-- because you want to become conscious of what thoughts and emotional patterns attracted them. That's for your soul growth. Once clear, you can say: "Oh. I want to change this. I want to change my thoughts and emotional patterns. Can you help?" This is the first step.
