CHANNELING: Your Doorway to Information
by Donna Coble and The Beings of Light

After giving many classes on channeling and doing many private readings, I have come to the understanding, with the assistance of my guides and the guides of others, that anyone can learn to channel their own guides.

Each person has their own unique method of receiving information from their guides. Through hearing, seeing and feeling or a combination of these methods we receive many messages every day. Most of us receive input from our guides and channel information from the universe without even realizing it. When we are not in communication with our guides on a conscious level, our dream state serves to bring us much information and answers to our questions. All you need to do is ask!

How often do we not heed the feeling, the warnings and then look back to say I knew that? Still we question our own feelings and intuition. We question the information we gather from the universe and use our logic to make a different decision and override our intuition. So often we go blindly ahead in our lives when so much information and assistance are available for each and every one of us. Somehow it does not seem to make sense.
Our Guides, Teachers, and Angels are with us to assist us in learning from the experiences and challenges we encounter in this incarnation to assist us in developing to our fullest during the time we have given ourselves here in the schoolhouse of earth. They can have many roles that assist us in our everyday lives. At times they come to us as teachers to teach us a particular subject, other times a different guide may assist us in developing or expanding our creative side, in writing a book, playing a musical instrument or a form of art.

If we desire direct communication with our guides in the form of channeling, we must give our guides permission to communicate with us. Our higher guides will never appear where they are not invited. It is our work of free choice and they will not interfere.

It is our choice to ask for the assistance of our guides or not, to give them permission to guide us on our journey, and our choice whether to listen after they have given the guidance for which we have asked.

Often, even the methods by which you receive information can be negotiated with your guides. Your connection with your guides is unique and special between you and them. Do not try and make it fit into what others expect a connection to he. We all have our own path and our own methods of working.

Not all of us are destined to hear verbal messages and channel books, or channel the masters and paint great works of art, but each and every one of us is capable of learning to connect with our guides in one manner or another.

I believe it begins with us giving permission to our guides to communicate with us and our own personal commitment to practicing like you would practice anything else. There are a few who are born to play concert piano at the age of three, but not many of us. We must practice and work to develop and expand our consciousness and with that, learn from what we encounter, continue on and evolve as we learn and rise to the higher challenges and vibrations of the universe.

You as all others have the ability. The question is "Do you have the need and the desire to look beyond your five senses and see what is there?" Many of you are fearful of what you might find, but know, you have seen it all before and had a much better understanding from the other side when you were there. Why not learn to listen to those there now and use the information available to acquire the experience necessary to move onto other levels of the universe. To allow the assistance available to end the cycle of continually repeating the same process of coming here, forgetting why you came and going back and seeing rnany of the choices you made were not the ones to give you the experience for your best and highest gocd here on earth.

All is experience. Do not take this wrong. We all learn from every choice, even if we learn at some point another path would have taken us on a higher road and through a few less lifetime's you know them here in the school house of earth.

There are many other places to see and things to experience in the universe so do not limit your self. See earth as a university of leaning and hands on experience from which you graduate. See yourself as one of those who excels and continues to climb at a rapid rate. Realize what you are to get from the experience, what you were to learn and go on, no sense in continuing to view the same lesson over and over.

See yourself as a cutting edge learner. See it and learn it once. Ponder the meaning of things, ask yourself what is the true knowledge behind a thought or action whether it be yours or someone else's. Learn, consider, ponder and discuss. Learn and go on, there is much knowledge and information in the universe, so much none of us have time to waste.

If we desire direct communication with our guides in the form of channeling we must give our guides permission to communicate with us.

The university of earth is but one such place for spirits to grow and learn to share and help others, or not. It is always our choice of direction and method. You must learn to flow with your inner guidance and be the best you can. Rise above all the traps and pitfalls available on earth and look to the higher meaning.

What are you doing there with three boats and two cars, several houses and no time to enjoy them.? We do not mean to live on the street but consider your focus, why do you have those things? What do they do for you? Is there a higher purpose for your life that you are missing? Is there a mission you have not embarked upon because you are so caught up in the 3rd dimensional traps of money and things?

Your guides have the answers to those questions and all information you seek. That does not mean they will tell you how to run your life and how to shop. Nevertheless, they will point you in the direction that is for your best and highest good and then allow you the space to make your own choices. Your higher guides never dictate or demand anything of you. If you enoounter that type of energy you are not in communication with your higher guides and they are most likely not acting with your best and highest good in mind.

You always need to decide your own path, and what you will learn and which direction to take. Look ahead, learn to make use of the inner guidance you have available and allow others to do the same. Learn from all you encounter but do not encounter with opposition the paths of others. All have their own experiences in which to grow and learn. Allow yourself to proceed and have the care and compassion to allow others the same free will.
