So, You Want to Be a Channel?
Every day as people pray they ask what can be done.
They ask for love and happiness and for success to come. They ask a lifetime full of peace; fall on their knees and pray.
But not too often does God hear: Can I help You today?
It is my greatest hope within, that God will never tire;
Will never leave us all alone without celestial choir;
That angel guides will lead us on, and never yield to hate, For love of God will be our path and always be our fate.

I receive many requests for channeling mentoring. I no longer teach channeling, however. The channeling adventure is so personal, and as Dr. Peebles says so often, "The channel is the point!" It¹s nearly impossible to teach someone how to do something that is a process of learning, NOT a "there" to get to. Channeling is a process of embracing the many rather than the few perspectives. It is a process that will show you without question that "never in your eternal soul have you been the victim, but ALWAYS the creator."
Unfortunately, so many people simply don't understand or fully embrace the point of channeling which is: it tears you down to rebuild you closer to God. (Check out my website www.summerbacon.com, and read the story under "Bacon Bits Archives" called "Getting Stoned.") The love of God has to be the drive that propels you in your desire to channel.
Remember: If you are trying to channel, you are missing the point. Instead, "seek ye first the Kingdom of God in all that ye do." Ask God to work His will in your life as you journey in this process. The channeling process is for you. You will go into many darker spaces inside of yourself. You will be asked to look at your life, your priorities, your desires, your relationships, your expectations...Truth of YOU will be revealed. It can be painful...this I know! The channeling process feels like you are constantly birthing the truth of yourself to the world. Talk about being vulnerable!
Dr. Peebles tells a lot of people that they have the propensity to channel, and encourages them to explore the channeling process because it will push you to grow. It's not easy, and it certainly doesn't happen overnight. If it does, I'd be careful...I've seen a few people go off the deep end and end up channeling spirits that are in less than integrity. Then they wonder why. (Or, frankly, sometimes they don¹t even question what is happening, which is even worse.) IF YOU WANT TO BE A PURE CHANNEL, YOU MUST TRULY FALL IN LOVE...WITH YOURSELF, WITH EVERYONE, WITH EVERY PERSPECTIVE (EVEN IF YOU DON¹T AGREE OR EVEN LIKE IT!)...IN OTHER WORDS YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH GOD. YOUR GREATEST DETERMINATION MUST BE TO BRING THE TRUTH OF GOD¹S LOVE TO THE SURFACE THROUGH YOU...NO MATTER WHAT!
I was not taught to channel. I just really, really, really wanted to have contact with Dr. Peebles when Thomas quit channeling. So I sat for three to four hours a night (uninterrupted) and stared into the center of a dark room and reached out to him with my heart, with my words, with my mind. I prayed, begged, pleaded and demanded that he come into the room and reveal himself to me. He eventually revealed himself as a little ball of red light. I continued to work to bring him closer to me, reaching out with all my heart, all my soul, all my mind, all my spirit, all my love, night after night after night.
To make a very long story short, it was seven years (and a whole lot of interesting paranormal experiences later) before I finally ended up channeling Dr. Peebles for the first time in 1994, and then another three years of channeling ANY spirit that he introduced (dearly departed loved ones, the not so dearly departed, animals, plants, Jesus, Hitler, a man who died on death row, etc.) before he announced that he would be the only spirit to come through me (although I have channeled several other spirits since then, but only when Dr. Peebles permits it).
Again the point for me has always been to "seek ye first the Kingdom of God."
I wish you luck and joy in the journey. You may find a mentor who can help you, or you can do as I did...sit with love in your heart, and pray for the guidance and the contact. Trust, surrender, and be vulnerable. That's pretty much it. It's kind of like trying to tell someone how to ride a bike...it happens when you get your balance, but HOW do you do that? It's virtually impossible to explain it."
By the way, if you want to love God, start with loving yourself. Then spiral out to your family members with loving allowance, increasing communication with respect. Continue the process with friends, acquaintances and total strangers. Look at those who are around you...they are of like mind and like heart to you. Do you like what you see? If not, change YOURSELF. You have no authority over others, but you CAN ask God to take authority over your spirit and guide you into greater love. ONLY THEN will your vibrational frequency of love be strong enough that it can pass through the darker spaces and find and touch the face of God to be channeled through you. I found an angel...a BAND OF ANGELS...in my quest to seek first the Kingdom of God. And, the best part of all? I learned that angels have human faces too. They look just like YOU.
God Bless You!
