Many of the people who listen to the Attunement Guided Meditation I created for the Automatic Intuition Course report meeting spirit guides, in the Akashic Records in particular, who appear as blue-skinned extraterrestrial beings. I have never been personally drawn to "Starseed" information, but the topic shows up frequently in the private community of intuitives I mentor. I asked them to weigh in on the research I found on the subject. And I'm sharing my own thoughts on the beings who are said to be assisting in the ascension of humanity.

I want to talk about Blue-skinned Aliens. That's right. Extraterrestrials. Possibly Angels. Possibly both. I actually think it's a technicality. The reason why I said "Take 11" and I'm leaving that in is because I want to say upfront that this is an unscripted episode and it's probably going to be really rambly, and I'm just going to do it off the top of my head because in order to prepare a really thoughtful, wholly inclusive report on Blue-skinned Aliens would be beyond my ability to do in any normal amount of time and I would have to bring in a huge chunk of the internet, and I don't even have time to read all that the internet has to say about Blue-skinned Aliens. So, I know that for some of you, this is going to start what I call a 'Magic Carpet Ride'. It also could actually be happening to you in the middle of a magic carpet ride about this subject. So what I mean by 'Magic Carpet Ride' is, and I don't do these so much anymore. I actually don't have the free time or the sleep schedule to allow for me to do magic carpet rides anymore. Because when I was in a period where I was doing a lot of these, it was back during the time period that you hear me talk about in my origin story, between 2003 and 2006. I was partially paralyzed. I was housebound, a recluse, I was communicating with my guides a lot intentionally for the first time, I was spending a lot of time learning to code online. So I was just living in front of a computer and had no sense of time. And to me, a magic carpet ride kind of describes this prayerful meditative experience that is part investigation, part channelled inquiry, part synchronicity, where something comes into your consciousness and you start with a query and Google and it leads from one thing to the next and you keep exploring and seeing new things to click on and time goes by and I would start out doing this at 10 or 11:00 at night and suddenly I would realize that the sky was turning grey outside and it was morning and I'd spent an entire evening travelling around the globe and travelling this interior landscape and this quasi-dimensional place that we've created in the internet, and I would come out of it, having been to all these places that I never realized that initial query was going to take me. So Blue-skinned Aliens. If you start that, if you click on the links that I'm going to give you in the show notes, just be warned. You could end up on a magic carpet ride. I actually was very, very careful to not allow myself to do that. I kept a protective bubble around me and I looked at it through a window and I got what I needed to get to have this conversation with you, and then I shut myself down. Because I didn't want to go full rabbit hole here. So yeah, in 2008, I went to Hawaii, the first and only time that I've been to Hawaii, for a conference of people who communicate with angels. I went there admittedly a bit as a corporate spy. I was in the process of developing what would become the Automatic Intuition program, and I had some ideas about how I wanted to support and teach people to do readings and to connect with their emerging intuition. But I wasn't really sure, I didn't have a sense of, Can I teach this to other people? Will it work? How do other people teach it? So I was in a mode back in 2008. I remember the day I arrived in Hawaii was the day that Barack Obama was elected. So that was a really interesting milestone that solidifies the date forever in my mind, for many reasons. But I was in the process of going to a lot of different kinds of psychic development workshops, really just kind of seeing how other people were teaching it. One of the things that really annoyed me was how much of it was really only teaching clairvoyance, but that's another conversation and that might be something that we get into if you ever work with me in the context of Automatic Intuition. You'll hear my speel about how I decided to adapt what I was doing to account for the lack of support in the other types of sensitivities and clairs, as we call them, beyond just clairvoyance. Because I wasn't particularly clairvoyant. Not at the time that I went to Hawaii. But anyway, so I was in Hawaii to be a corporate spy, to go to a really high-up the food chain kind of new age event to see how it was done by the pros! And also just to experience being in Hawaii with over 300 other people who all have the ability to connect with and communicate with Angels, as I already identified with. So yeah, it was magical and amazing on a lot of levels and I met a lot of people who are still in my life all these years later. But anyway, fast forward a little bit. I was really interested in and intrigued by, there was a man, Mark Watson, who is a composer, a musician who does a lot of background music for new age meditations and, he gave a little speel or a little talk about music theory, the scales, the chords that are associated with different archangelic vibrations, and how to use a certain musical key to invoke a specific type of angelic entity. To tell you the truth, it was all over my head, music-wise. Like I knew enough to be able to just kind of furiously scribble down what he was saying, and I knew that coming up as part of the training program that I was developing, I was going to be creating a guided meditation that would act as an Attunement, and so I felt like, Oh this is amazing. This is exactly what I need to know in order to create the Attunement. I wanted to do some very specific things and call in some certain types of energy so I took notes. And, in a very simplistic way, attempted to apply what I learned from him in creating that Attunement. So fast forward basically a year later was when I launched the Automatic Intuition Professional Program in November of 2009, I believe. And so, the way it works, and actually if you want to experience this, if you haven't already, you can go to AutomaticIntuition.com and download the Attunement for free and experience what I'm talking about. So what the Attunement is and how it works. It's a guided meditation. The intentions at the level of the musical stuff that I'm talking about was to align the chakras, to ground, centre, work your way up through the chakras, and more than anything, to open the crown chakra to ensure that all of the information that's coming in for you is the highest possible vibration and there is a few specific triggers within the Attunement that allow you to connect with your asher, which is a sort of a personal guardian angel. You know when we talk to little kids about, Oh you have a guardian angel that's watching out for you! I call that the asher. I can't even remember where I learned that term, but that's the type of angel who is sort of like your personal bodyguard. Anyway, so new experience and meeting with that entity and you also experience, as this sort of finale of the Attunement, if you will, a meeting with your guides in the Akashic Records. And this could be one entity, it could be a group. But it's meant to call in any entity that you have, that's hanging out, waiting for you to use your spiritual gifts or your intuitive abilities, your healing abilities, in the context of doing it for other people. Now this is not just about, Oh, what should I do with my job, and when am I going to meet the love of my life, and the kinds of things you might ask a phone psychic. This is specifically to introduce you to someone who can help retrieve information for you on behalf of other people. So you are volunteering to be a channel and a conduit and this entity is meant to assist in that. It's a very high level intention. It's a high level vibration and it calls in a very high level, for lack of a better word, I keep calling it high. I actually think of, when we talk about high and low frequencies in vibrations, I think of those as notes on a piano, so you can think of this frequency as being something in the dog whistle range, or whatever. Something outside the normal ability to hear and process sounds. That's kind of what the Attunement does. One of the most difficult things about creating the Attunement is actually to script an experience where I am prompting you on what to see, hear and feel without telling you what to see, hear, and feel. Or in some cases, to prompt you to have an experience that might be visual without telling you to see something, or that could be visual for one person, could be auditory for another, could be sensory in the body for another person. So it's a very weird thing to try to write if you ever do a guided meditation. It's like telling a story without telling too much detail because, of course, you want the person to fill in all of that on their own. That's what the Attunement is and that's how it works. The reason why we start the course with the Attunement is obviously, it represents an intention, a goal that you've set for yourself and also a kind of promise that you're making. You're putting it out to the Universe, to all of humanity: Hey, I intend to use my abilities and to develop my abilities in order to serve other people and make everything wonderful for everyone else. That's your goal. It's a selfless act of service and the Attunement is really kind of something for us to wrap our brains around down here in the earthly dimension and just give us a way to see, hear, feel, name, experience, talk about that thing that is happening at a higher level. Because there's a part of it that's happening in a dimension that we're not even aware of and I don't even try to script that. I just, in my intentions in creating this, I am calling in those energies and asking that they be there for anyone who listens to it. So, thanks to Mark Watson for giving me that little bit of music theory help enact that. So I've been using this Attunement with my clients and my students for, what is it, almost 9 years now? And I always get really wonderful feedback. I get a lot of requests to create separate music tracks for meditation without the guided part. Without the vocal script. Even my dad asked me if he could just have the background music and make it extra long and then he can just use that to either rest or meditate or do that kind of relaxation stuff with it, which I have never really gotten around to. I don't even know if I can find the master files for that... We'll see... But anyway, so everybody who comes into my program does this Attunement and one of the things that's really cool for me is, every single one of the first sessions that I do with everyone, they tell me about their experience with the Attunement as if it's a dream that they had and I am writing down notes of what they're saying, and there is information encoded in your experience of the Attunement. Not only the things that you hear that are symbolic, and the things that you see that are archtypal, but the actual word choice and the way that you speak about this phenomenon tells me things about your intuitive abilities, how they already manifest, and more importantly, it lets me know if there is something waiting in the wings for you that you are not even aware of and you've never thought to try. If there's some kind of ability you have the potential for, that's right there, and you just don't know to reach for it. It will let me know whether or not to coach you forward, and which tools would allow you to access those abilities. So based on that, we have an entire session pretty much where we unpack everything in the Attunement. What you saw, felt, heard, thought, your impressions, what you learned during the Attunement. Anything that I see that I can unpack for you in terms of symbolism and the guide that you met and the names that you're getting for these guides and what they all mean. Based on that conversation, what we really do is, we use that to determine which tools and techniques and psychic modalities are most likely to produce results for you. So for instance, I can tell from the Attunement if clairvoyance is not your thing, if you're going to go a bunch of classes where they're like, Close your eyes and visualize, you're probably going to be disappointed. But I can also tell that automatic writing would produce some really satisfying experiences, both for you and for anyone that you read for, and here's why that tool would be better suited to you. So it's kind of like a diagnostic and it helps me customize the course and how you learn to develop your intuition. So it's a really cool thing. I'm very proud of it. At the time that I was creating it, I was just creating it and those were my intentions. My understanding of how it works has evolved over time. So one of the coolest things for me is, I have the perspective of everybody else's experience with the Attunement, so the patterns that I see emerging may not be apparent to the people who are having these experiences, but from where I'm sitting, I can see things, like, Oh wow, isn't that interesting. Everybody always has this type of experience here. Or when someone has an experience that is uniquely outside of the pattern that I see with other people. That's always really interesting too. I feel like, personally, my way of visualizing metaphysical stuff and talking about all this spiritual stuff has a kind of science-fiction vibe to it. And I'm very aware of the script within the Attunment being a little science-fictiony, and a little CGI. So it's always fascinating to me. There is an entire vein of students in Automatic Intuition who come through and have these really Native American, shamanic, spirit animal, outside under the stars bonfire... They have this whole aboriginal kind of experience that isn't remotely science-fictiony, and I'm always fascinated by how many people still take what I think of as having this certain kind of flavour to it, and they come out with a completely different set of details and aesthetics. So anyway, that kind of stuff is very fascinating to me. Sometimes I share it with the people in the context of the conversation because I want them to realize that they're plugging into something bigger than themselves and they're not the only person who has that kind of entity as an Akashic Records guide. So, we see a lot of Merlin archetypes. I talked about that on a previous episode about the lantern bearer, right? And I talked about the wise old man Gandalf hermit-tarot guy who shows up for a lot of people in this Attunement. That is a common symbol that we see, so to speak. There's another one though, that's particularly common. It's always been there a little bit. Here and there. But lately it's become almost everyone coming through the course. And so I'm always interested when there are these waves of things moving through the people that I work with, whether it's readings that I'm doing for clients or the students who are being attracted into the program. Last year it was healing energy. A lot of healers. I'm still seeing a lot of people who do energy healing come in to the course for whatever reason. So that seems to be a theme that was really apparent in 2017 for me, is energy healing. So lately, it's been a lot of blue-skinned aliens. A lot of Akashic Records guides have been presenting as ginormous blue-skinned angelic creatures. Now the reason I said at the top of this episode or this segment that I think that they could be angels, I think they could be extraterrestrials. I think some of us see those as being the same thing. And if you really want to split hairs about it, angels aren't of this world, so they kind of are extraterrestrial. It could just be that they are a type of galactic entity or spiritual energy that we perceive in a way that we associate with, Ooo that looks like an alien to me. So these entities are usually very tall, they're beautiful, they have luminous pale blue skin or sometimes it's dark, it's cobalt. It's always about indigo and blue. And the prevalence of this lately has been almost identical from one person to the next, and it's always been in the back of my mind. I thought, Is that have something to do with Hindu gods? Has this got something to do with some other kind of phenomenon going on? I'm usually focused on the work itself, so I just kind of tuck it away. But I've decided to kind of go down a little bit of a rabbit hole and research some of this. I don't know, for whatever reason, I just decided, Now I'm going to look it up. I'm just going to peek at the magic carpet ride. I'm not going to go too far down the slide, but I just want to get a sense of what's going on. So I generally am not drawn to this kind of Starseed information. I find it curious and interesting and when it crosses my radar, I'm like, Oh wow, that's kind of cool. I'll read about it or get sucked into watching something about it, but it's really not that frequently. Here in the last few years, really the only time that it ever even crosses my mind is in the context of the people that I work with, the entities they communicate with, and the entities they channel and who shows up in these meditations. That kind of stuff. And that's the only time that it even is a blip. And I'm not, I want to be really, really clear about this. When I say it doesn't show up for me, I'm not passing judgment on it and I'm not saying it's not true. I'm just letting you know why, Why haven't I talked about this before? Why don't I talk about it all the time? Why isn't everything in Shift Your Spirits connected in some way to exploring this huge subject, you know? The implications are enormous. So I just want to let you know that when I say I'm not drawn to it, I'm just... I'm not drawn to it. I don't go looking for it. But if it shows up in my life, I'm like, Oh! That's cool! And I like to try and process this stuff without passing judgment on it because quite frankly, there are tons of people who could listen to anything that I have to say and talk about and judge that as a bunch of bullshit. So I am very aware that everyone has their own perspective and I'd like to think that we're all getting a piece of a bigger picture. Some of those pieces overlap and some of them don't. But I try not to invalidate anyone else's experience. So if someone comes in, I meet someone at a conference or something who's a channel and they talk to galactic beings and that's their platform, that's cool. I find it kind of fascinating, to tell you the truth. It makes what I do seem very ho hum, to tell you the truth. Still, okay, so I decided to dip my toe in this just a little bit in Google and just see, Okay, what's the deal? What's everybody else saying about the blue-skinned aliens? And by the way, I did also investigate a little bit around, Is this connected in some way with Hindu gods, because we see a lot of depiction of Shiva and other Hindu gods who have blue skin, and I thought, Maybe there's something there? What's interesting, and Google this, Google the Hindu god thing, and the only thing that I could find was a lot of linguistics conversations. A lot of talk about how that color blue doesn't translate. There's not a word for it in that language that actually, if you look at original texts, they're talking about dark-skinned or black-skinned people, and anyway, there seems to be some argument about whether or not they're really talking about blue-skinned people or dark-skinned people. And from my understanding, the darkness has to do with earthliness, as if they have come from the earth. Which, to me in my personal pantheon and cosmology, that sounds more like fairy entities, or elementals. But I think the devas, in that part of the world, in that cosmology and worldview, are elemental energies. So anyway. If you want to, you can research that also and see, but I found that really quickly that those are not the same thing, and that there doesn't seem to be a connection between the Hindu gods and the blue-skinned aliens. By the way, I will share links in the show notes, if you want to go down that rabbit hole, and I chose to share a specific site. There are literally thousands. Like, one of my clients, Shawn, said, There are tons of people just on Wordpress.com who write about the galactic federation and all this stuff that has to do with aliens, and so I tried to pick a site that I thought seemed to be well-executed, you know. They had their shit together. They've compiled a lot of information, it's well organized, it's put together in a way that I feel okay with recommending, right? So I'm just sort of passing judgment on one droplet of water in the entire ocean of the internet, but so... I want to share with you some of what I found on this one site, regarding blue-skinned aliens. And I'm kind of going to be reading to you here from this, so if you want the attribution link, it will be in the show notes. This is not my channeled information or even my opinion. This is just what the internet says about blue-skinned aliens. Several stories mention humanoid alien races with a blue skin. These usually refer to Andromedans. The Andromedas were the "blue race" that landed in Florida in 1954, trying to pursuade the US Government not to work with the greys, but instead to join forces with something called "The Orbin." Their advice apparently was sadly ignored by the US Government. The Hopi Indians also talk about a race of blue skinned Star Warriors. There are several indications that lead us to believe these Star Warriors are the same Andromedans. "The nature of the Andromeda realm is abstract and fluid. A dimensional doorway exists in our nearby galactic neighborhood as a bridge to the Andromeda Energy. This bridge/doorway is the star Antares." That's from a book called The Prism of Lyra, Lyssa Royal & Keith Priest. Many sources mention Andromeda as the home of several higher dimensional species. Some of these species chose to come and assist Earth in its current day Ascension progress. To adapt to a life in a 3-dimensional body, these Starseeds usually go through Antares. Okay, so I also, in researching Antares and Andromeda, wanted to read you a little bit about the Federation of Planets. "The Association of Worlds, or (United) Federation of Planets, "is a group of physical and non-physical beings from many realms who come together for a number of purposes. Some have called them a galactic confederation or federation. There is no hierarchical structure or authority inherent in the Association. The primary purposes for their interactions with Earth are: (1) to gently nudge humanity toward a greater awareness of itself and its place within the Association, and (2) to prevent a critical number of nuclear explosions on Earth, which can cause a rip in the fabric of space/time, affecting the galactic neighborhood. They have absolutely no intention now of evacuating anyone from Earth under any conditions. They understand the absolute necessity for the human race to become responsible for itself.” Note that a lot of the information on the Federation is channeled, though corroborated by many contactees, and by some witnesses working on covert government projects. Remote viewers, also, confirm the existence of such an organization." Okay. End the part where I'm reading from the interwebs. So if this information is mostly channeled, like what they just noted, it occured to me that I have a network of channels and psychics right here at my disposal. The very people that these visions came through in the first place. So the people who are seeing blue-skinned aliens as Akashic Records guides within my Attunement as part of the Automatic Intuition community program, I have a private Facebook group with all these guys, so what I did is, I decided to sort of post some of this information to them. I thought, Okay well fine, if all this stuff is channeled, let's channel it. Let's remote view it. Let's check in. Let's talk to some guides and see what they have to say. I consider the Automatic Intuition community a tribe of peers. I'm not a guru. I'm more of like a host. I'm like a camp counsellor. I'm a little bit further down the road than other people, or a little bit "older" in this process and I'm there to help and advise and organize. So it was really interesting. What I did was I posted what I just read to you guys and I asked everyone else, Hey, what do you think about this? Check in with whoever it is that you communicate with and see what you think. Or what you feel or anything that you have to comment on this conversation. And a few people contacted their guides and asked about this directly. For instance, they contacted their guides and said, Hey, is this true or not? A lot of the people who chose to comment corroborated what I was posting. They just basically checked in with it and said, some form of, Yeah, this kind of checks out for me. They did a gut check on it and also let me know if it felt real to them. And in particular, Kara, and Lisa and Aubrey all talked about just kind of a gut feeling of like, Yeah, when I was checking in with this, it resonates with me as true and one of their number... I can't remember which one, said that when they heard the word Andromeda, that it was sort of beating like a drum, and then I know Aubrey came along and said, Ohmygod, yeah, beating like a drum exactly explains the experience that I'm having when I hear that word too. So anyway, that was very cool. Jane and Kara both talked about a connection to ancient Egypt that came up for them. Melany had a random experience in the past where she recalled these 3 entities who showed up during a healing session that she was doing with a client, and after the session was over, the client mentioned seeing 3 blue entities, which Melany took as a confirmation of what she was seeing. And she said, This isn't something that happens in all her sessions. It wasn't something that she was willfully trying to contact. It just sort of appeared. And then the same thing was kind of happening for the client. And you have to understand when you're doing these sessions, that may sound like all well and good. Oh, I've kind of got this feeling and then the client says, Oh, yeah, I got that feeling too. And it's not necessarily like that. Sometimes there are things that happen in the feedback where the clients and you are able to communicate different sets of detail that seem to corroborate themselves, and sometimes in the moment this synchronicity is very powerful. I told you a story recently about how, you know, me and one of the people in this group were like pulling cards for each other simultaneously, and we didn't even decide to do it. It was just an impulse and how we pulled the same card and when things like that happen and you're living that in the moment, it's very powerful confirmation, for sure. Chris in particular said that she didn't have a lot to offer up, but she actually kind of did have a lot of cool things to say, but she said that she had an experience many years ago, like 25-30 years ago, of waking from a dream and hearing the word “Antares”. Maybe she was in some dream state classroom or her guides were slipping a little information into her consciousness, but she always felt like there was somewhere-out-there this piece of info for her. She's tried researching it from time to time, and never found a whole lot. Maybe she was doing what I was doing. Which was kind of dipping her toe in, saying, Hmm has anybody written about this? But she said that she did know that Antares was some kind of gateway or home star or something. And that she had actually bought this book, The Prism of Lyra, which had some of the quote that I was reading to you, and she felt it was sort of put in her path, and so she picked it up. So anyway, there was a lot of exciting conversation and we were going back and forth, as you do on Facebook threads. It's hard to relate that conversation anecdotally here, but I wrote Chris back and I said, It's very interesting because when I read her comment about Antares, I went back to that same site, because I saw that as a highlighted hyperlink in some of the information, and so I went to that page and found that Antares and Arcturus are the same thing. Now, the reason why this is interesting is because I have been told before, maybe more than once, that my soul origin is Arcturian. There are some practitioners, in particular I know soul re-alignment practitioners, retrieve information about the soul origin, which is this concept that your soul originate some time somewhere out in the galaxy other than here, and then travels here. Anyway, Antares, like we talked about, is the home of these higher dimensional entities, in both physical and non-physical, and people talk about the Doorway to Antares, or the gateway, between the galaxies and to other universes and it's some kind of "interdimensional bridge to Andromeda from our galaxy. Some souls, upon physical incarnation, choose to pass through the Antares gateway to reactivate soul memory" (Lyssa Royal & Keith Priest, The Prism of Lyra) or to give them layers of ability and consciousness that they need to exist within our dimension. So, again, that's not something I channeled. That's something I read. But, here on earth, a lot of the people that are referred to as Starseeds, actually come from Arcturus, or Antares. They are highly sensitive, highly intellectual, usually very empathic, they tend to be a little more withdrawn and reserved. So, one other Automatic Intuition person, Penelope, said - she chimed in a little later because she's in a different time zone - she's in Hawaii! She said that she works with an Arcturian consciousness in her healing work. Lots of cobalt blue, she says, very powerful, intelligent, compassionate energy. And she wrote to me and said, it makes sense to me if your soul group of origin is Arcturus that Arcturian energy would be present in your attunements. So meaning, well if your soul origin is Arcturian, then you would produce this energetic guided meditation that would have some of that type of energy to it. Okay, so yeah, that makes sense. And she also said that Arcturus is the guiding star for Polynesian wayfarers. So, like I said, Penny is in Hawaii. I met Mark Watson in Hawaii. There’s a connection emerging around Hawaii. Meanwhile, I kid you not, I had to go to Walmart. While all this conversation was going on, and I am in Walmart and I get a text from my friend Jeff. Jeff is someone that I met in Hawaii, at that conference. I believe actually prior to even getting there, I knew that he was there and I feel that one of the reasons why I went to Hawaii at that time was to connect with him. He's one of those people that is a soul brother to me and Jeff very much functions in my life as kind of my private psychic. Like, if i'm spinning out of control, that's who I'm contacting. And so he's also a friend and he has access to the Automatic Intuition community as a kind of anchor point for me because he was there having the conversation with me about the program as I was developing it. And so he's always been sort of someone that I tag team in a lot of my work, and Jeff also listens to this podcast, so I'm sure he's like, jumping up and down right now really excited that I'm talking about him. Hey Jeff! So yeah, I didn't even know at the time that Jeff and I were texting, I didn't even think about the Hawaii thing. That has all come up since Penny contacted me. She has actually offered to do a session with me some time this week so I can experience this energy that she's working with, which is very cool, and very generous of her. And I'm excited to see what comes of this. So there could be more parts to this story. Anyway, Jeff is texting me. I'm at Walmart. He's like, Ohmygod I'm loving this conversation that's going on in your AI group. And then he says to me, I'm Arcturian too! And I said, Okay, so how did you come to know that? And he said, kind of the same thing I did. That a psychic told him that, or maybe it was a channel. But he did mention one thing. He said, whoever told him that was also dead on about a lot of other details. There was a lot of confirmation affirmation about her other information, which made him kind of more likely to take that on board. And it was really funny because, as we're talking about it, I didn't want to give him the sense that I was tearing anything down, so I typed, “I don’t NOT believe in it." And it was one of those instances where your texts cross and you are typing each other at the same time and he typed the same thing to me. "I don't NOT believe in it." And so, that's a really important part of the puzzle here, for me personally is, I don't really experience this. I'm not drawn to it. It doesn't come through for me in readings. I don't dream about it. I don't find it showing up in automatic writing sessions that I do. I'm not channeling it. Nothing like that. And that doesn't mean that it's not real. It doesn't mean it's not interesting to me. It definitely doesn't mean that you shouldn't pursue it if it's something coming through for you, because I absolutely would support you in doing that. I really do try not to judge it. It could ALL be 100% true. We could all cross to the other side and find out, Wow! All that crap that Slade was talking about in episode 50 was dead on! So the thing about this type of information, as I was reading this website and I was kind of trying to evaluate which websites I felt were a little bit more reputable than the others, and as Shawn was saying, there are so many people online who are channeling this information. Being told that I have a soul origin in Arcturus is kind of a type of information that really cannot be confirmed. Now, it is interesting that more than one person has told me that. So I haven't had a lot of conversations with people that have said, Oh, your soul origin is this, and your soul origin is this. It's only happened a couple times and I was told the same thing. So that kind of is a quasi-confirmation thing, right? So if there's something to it, there's definitely a pattern there. I think three people have told me that. And here's the thing - no one has ever told me my soul origin was something else. The only people who have ever even brought that subject up to me have told me the exact same thing. So I do think that's a little interesting. But, in my readings, if you get a reading with me, I will give you spirit guide information if it's something that you specifically ask for. And information about who your guides are, how they're presenting to me, if they have names that they're giving me, all that kind of stuff. But even then, I try to introduce some way of confirming that information and what I usually do is I request that you receive signs and synchronicities. Like, really just a ton of them to corroborate that information. And I get back some really cool stories post-reading from people who write me back that same day and often have these synchronicities with the names. I've had it happen with some really, really unusual names too. We're not just talking about Johns and Marys here. I've had it happen in some really - like, that needs its own episode. So I'll make note to do an episode about spirit guide names, right? And why I think that there's something to them and what I think it's all about and how it works and all that kind of stuff. Because I know some psychics have an attitude that spirit guide names are BS and that you shouldn't give them at all. I feel differently about it and maybe I need to come back and explain all that in a separate episode, since you like the woo woo stuff so much. So anyway, I try to do something, even when I am bringing through information that just literally can't be corroborated. I mean, I could be telling you anything. Even with good intentions, but how can we get some kind of feedback from outside our own heads? In the real world. To kind of show up and corroborate that a little bit. And so, we do have an exercise that I do in that context. I don’t know how I feel about just calling everything “channeled” as if that is a blank check. I'm a little bit prickly about that whole concept. I admit. When somebody says, Oh, this is channeled information, I kind of think, Okay... I'm immediately... there's a skeptical filter there. I admit it. It's a response that I have. But, if the wisdom that's coming through in this channeled information is applicable and useful and insightful, I'm less likely to question the source. I don't really care about the source. For me, if someone is bringing through information that's really fascinating and useful and shifts your mind, then that's what counts, right? And so, I definitely think if you look at some of the channeled information that's most popular, you think about Esther Hicks or even our own friend, Frank Butterfield. If you listen to Frank and Paul and some of the stuff that he brings through, it's really, like I take that information on. I have a use for it. It's not like he's just babbling about some planet off in some other part of the Universe and just painting a pretty picture of what it looks like there. He's usually instructing and teaching wisdom about the human condition and how we think about things and how we can think about them differntly. So that is one of the ways I tend to judge the channeled information. So I don't judge whether or not it is channeled, or where the source might be. I just sort of judge the information itself. Is that useful to us? That's where I'm at. Fewer hearts and flowers. Fewer abstracts. Just random things that can't be confirmed. If the information has no bearing on us or our experience, quite honestly it could be science fiction. It’s okay. I like science fiction. I think it is a platform for the story of humanity as a whole, as a species, at a much higher level. It makes philosophy and anthropology and science and biology all really accessible to popular thought. It gives us a way of thinking about ourselves as one thing. And that is something that you will see in science fiction more than any other kind of story telling. And that's one of the things that people who are fans of science fiction, especially the high brow stuff. That's what we are there to get from it. So... People don’t ask me super esoteric questions during readings. They usually want to know about their lives and how to impact the situations that they're living through in some kind of practical way. BOTTOM LINE: I believe it’s irrelevant whether I intend any of this. Whether I intentionally am Arcturian and I'm creating Attunements with Arcturian energy and that's my thing and I'm really in to it, or whether or not I'm just, happen to be doing it within this soup of stuff. So that it is a part of it. It’s interesting though, to me, that I could create something that brings that through without necessarily willfully intending to so. And so that's the reason why my whole fascination with this subject has kind of come to a head. Like, how is it that I've created something that I don't get blue-aliens from. But everyone, not everyone, a lot of people, there's a pattern of clients and students who, in accessing my work, access these blue-skinned aliens. The thing is, if it is true that there is a galactic federation — I kind of hope so. I would love to think this is true and actually happening. Sidebar: I kind of think that we’re probably the North Korea of the galactic neighborhood. You know what I'm saying? I think I come away with a thought, as I'm processing all this stuff about the blue-skinned aliens. I can still serve that greater good by introducing intuitives to it who may channel it. Or who may connect with it. Who may use it willfully, or may use it indirectly. I don't at all have a sense that, Ooo, demons are trying to talk to us or anything like that. Don't go there with this. Nothing about this feels like that to me. I know there's some people with some religious programming who are going to go down that well and I'm just here to say, don't. No. And don't bring that to me, by the way. Because I don't need to hear about that. I don't believe it. So, I do believe that even as I'm bopping around doing what I do, that I could be inadvertently serving a galactic federation that wants to see humanity ascend. And if that's what's happening, I'm cool with that.

This 2-part conversation with Master Channel, Frank W. Butterfield is one of the most profound I've had. In the first part of our conversation, I ask questions that came up when listening to Frank tell Slade Roberson of Shift Your Spirits how he became a channel. Frank and I start off discussing the 1987 Shirley MacLaine miniseries which had a significant impact on Frank's awareness. As Frank discusses experiences he later recognized as channeling in his corporate life, it may even leave you wondering if you have channeled yourself. By the end of this episode, we begin to take a deep dive into some mind-blowing content that challenges the basic things we are taught in school about how to succeed.

In Part 2 of of my conversation with Slade Roberson of Shift Your Spirits, we go deeper into the impact having a stroke had on Slade. As he struggled to regain his speech and rehabilitate his body, his livelihood, his way of interacting with the world and the person he knew himself to be changed dramatically. Ultimately, it's up to us to alchemize the darkness that accompanies life-altering challenges and use them for our own positive transformation. During the conversation, Slade comes to realize that with the stroke experience, he cracked a part of himself that ultimately allowed him to become the prolific creator he is today. That and, of course, the discipline he honed learning to code during his recovery. From talking about the power of will, self-control and focus, the conversation leads to an a ha moment we both had when listening to Frank Butterfield (the entity Paul) during Slade's Shift Your Spirits episode: About Channeling with Frank Butterfield ​ EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Scheduling, creativity and cat people Cracking willpower - is it really like binary code?

I’m your host Slade Roberson. For eleven years, I’ve been a professional intuitive and the author of the blog Shift Your Spirits, where I try to write about spirituality with fewer hearts and flowers than most New Age blather. I also mentor emerging intuitives, psychics, and healers in a program called Automatic Intuition. Today I have an interview with Frank Butterfield about channeling. What channeling is, how to do it. What it means to be a channel, and what to do if you think you might be one. I love all my interview guests and all their segments are special for different reasons. But I must say, I did personally really dig the middle of this interview with Frank. I guess I should say he brought through a message that really resonated for me in that moment. I felt like he was channeling for me. I asked the question I sometimes ask guests, about what message he thinks is missing from the New Age conversation, and he went off about giving up what you're trying to get. I can’t even paraphrase it or repeat it... It’s a real twist on the concept of “surrender”— it's bad ass and down to earth and yet conceptually elevated. Be sure and listen for it. And, of course, as always, there’s an oracle segment at the end of the show. So be thinking about a question or a concern you have. Hold it in your mind, and I’ll come back on, after the final links and credits, and leave you with that extra message.

Let’s listen to Frank: INTERVIEW SEGMENT Frank: Well, my name is Frank Butterfield and I am a Channel, first and foremost. I've been doing that since 1990, although I've done a lot of other things. And I also am an author. I've published 19 novels and 3 non-fiction books that are based on my channeling work. I live in Daytona Beach Florida, right at the end of the road and go to the beach as often as I can. And have a pretty wonderful life. It's pretty quiet and I'm really enjoying where I'm at. And I'm also really glad to be here. Slade: Thank you for being here. So what is channeling, for somebody who's never heard of that before. What is it and how do you do it? Frank: Well, the way I do it, and it's a good question because there's a lot of different ways that people define channeling. But the way that I do it is I basically sit. I allow an energy, what I call a broader, non-physical perspective, to come through and sit in me. And then it speaks through me. And so communion of light is sort of the name that's used to describe what's going on and then the energy, the voice that talks through me, has a name called Paul. That theoretically is supposedly connected to Saint Paul, formerly Saul of Tarsus, but I don't really put a lot of stock into that. But in any event, it is very distinct. It speaks in a very different voice than I do, although our voices are now more similar than ever before. But now that I'm much more used to it and have been doing it for a long time, but the way in which they talk and I do speak of them as plural, with other people, it's very different than the way I do. They get away with a lot of shit that I wouldn't dare let myself do. But essentially, channeling is, for me, is just literally sitting inside of myself, not reaching up or out, but sitting inside myself and opening up something that then comes down into me and then moves through me. If you want to talk about chakras, what I'm doing is sitting in my heart chakra and then letting my throat chakra be open. And that's all that it is. It's really simple. It's very simple now. Of course it wasn't simple at the beginning. But that's what it is. What it isn't is mediumship. I can do mediumship. I don't like it, but basically what mediumship is for me is there's an energy that sits on my right and sort of whispers in my ear and then I relay what they're saying to whoever the mediumship experience is for. I haven't done it in a long time and I don't really have any desire to do it. There's lots of really great mediums out there. But mediumship and channeling are not the same thing. Mediumship I like to consider to be sort of on the 6th chakra level. So it's more of a psychic experience that involves personality to personality interaction. Channeling the way that I do it is more of a 7th chakra perspective, where it's about a broader perspective, narrowing itself down through me. Whereas mediumship is very peer-to-peer, and channeling the way that I do it is a little bit different than that. Slade: Okay, so how did you discover that you had the ability to do this? Frank: Well, I don't know that... that's a really good question. The way I found out how to do it was that I was working at a metaphysical bookstore that is sadly closed, called Fields Books, on, that was on Polk Street in San Francisco. And they had a book there that they were selling called Opening the Channel by Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer which is still available and I highly recommend it. And I bought it, took it home and basically over the course of one afternoon, I don't recommend this, I sat down and kind of went through all the processes as fast as I could. And by that evening, something was talking through me. It was really difficult but it happened and it's... you know what's interesting is, it's not so much an ability as it is an interest. and I believe that's true about anything at all. No one really has innate abilities but people cultivate ideas because they're interested in them. And then they just get better and better at them through practice or through repetition or whatever it may be. Slade: Okay. So when you were saying that you were aware that something was speaking through you, so were you in a trance when this happened or were you consciously aware of it? Explain the distinction there in your awareness. Frank: Well my exposure to channeling prior to that was through reading the words of Jane Roberts and seeing the made-for-TV movie Out on a Limb that was a Shirley MacLaine project based on the novel or the non-fiction book she wrote, and they filmed two different channels and those two different channels actually sort of represent the distinction that I was talking about a little earlier. One of the channels was more of a medium, and one of the channels was more of a sort-of broader perspective sort of person. But in any event, one of them obviously went into a very deep trance and the other one sort of went into a lighter trance. Jane Roberts went into a very deep trance apparently from the way it was described in the writings. As did Edgar Cayce. Who's another Channel who predates Jane Roberts. But I, when I first was doing this, I was in - it was like I was in a hypnotic state. I was aware of what was going on, but I had nothing to do. And my job was to be open, which at the beginning was difficult but became easier and easier. Now I can move back and forth very easily between the two states. I've never really been a deep trance Channel and I don't have the personality for it. I just kind of refuse to do anything where I'm absent from the process. But I can also say that when I am channeling, there are plenty of times when I have no idea, I know that specific words like 'the', 'brown', 'dog', I know that 'the' and 'brown' and 'dog' were said, but I don't understand why they were said, I don't know what that meant, and I've learned not to care. That took awhile. But it's not a deep trance. There's some people who can do that and they're very good at it and they just kind of get knocked out. Sanaya Roman talks about that in her experience that she, her first experience channeling was she turned on a tape recorder, she fell asleep and then she woke up 30 minutes later and it was 30 minutes of words that she didn't remember. She just thought she was asleep the entire time. I've never had that experience, but I do sort of fade away and then come back. And time moves in a very different way than when I'm doing something like this, where I'm very aware of the passage of time. A long period of time will go by and I'll think it's only been 10 or 15 minutes. Slade: How long was it from the time that you first tried this in San Francisco, sort of as an experiment How long was it from the time that that happened until you met Paul, or the Communion of the Light sort of revealed itself? Frank: So there's kind of three stages. So from 1990 to the winter of 1991, into '92, I was channeling this voice that called itself Raji. Which is an Indian first name. And it said very clearly, I'm here to help you get started and then when we're done I'll be gone and I'll move on. And the winter of '91, '92 I lived in Provincetown, on the end of Cape Cod, and I was with a group that was reading A Course in Miracles, and one night, we were playing a round with the Ouija board, and the Ouija board said, Tell Frank to channel. So I opened up and this very different thing happened. A very different voice and Raji was gone and has never been back. So from that, I guess it was actually like January of '92 until June of 2007, I was channeling this sort of indeterminate, just very broad, non-personality driven energy. Which I now recognize was the Communion of Light. That's who they were. But that was where I was in my ability, in my interest in allowing them. I was kind of going around saying, I'm kind of a Channel, I should be a Channel, I should be doing this but I'm not really doing it. And then in that interim time, in those 15 years, I went from being a person who kind of bopped around the country, to getting a real job and becoming really successful really quickly. And then all of a sudden remembering that I didn't have to do that anymore. And so I had a real job for about 10 years, and then I just quit. And I walked around for about a year, year and a half, saying, There's something I know how to do that I probably should be doing, but I don't know what it is. And it was channeling. And I remember having lunch with a friend of mine, saying, I know there's something that I do that I'm supposed to be doing. And I'm going to come back to you at some point and say, You know what that thing was? And that was right. It was a, like a Thursday night, and a friend of mine, my roommate and I had gone to see a movie, we came back to the apartment, we sat down and I just said, I think I'm supposed to channel for you. It just all of a sudden occurred to me. And so when I opened my mouth, this more focused version of what I had been doing over the previous 15 years appeared. And kind of gave itself a definition in a way that it didn't have before. And I had a more, not really a personality, but a more clear notion of what it was. And it began to speak and then in that first night, it, or they, introduced themselves. They were like, Frank should do this and this and this, none of which I did. And then they, when it was kind of over with, when they helped my friend with a question about his career, and which apparently was very useful, because he actually did what they suggested and then they said, Okay well now we're going to show you how to be a medium. And I was like, Okay, whatever. And they brought his mother in, who I'd never met, and then gave, you know, very, like all good mediums, they gave three points of identifying information that I had no idea about but that gave my friend the clue that there was something going on. And we even had what the Spiritualists would call a demonstration. There was an aroma of roses went through this room that was completely sealed off and just had air conditioning on. And it was pretty amazing. And I did that, like I said, I did that for a little while and then I was like, That's not really me. And I now realize what they were doing was saying, Okay here's a little bag of tricks that you think you're supposed to have. Why don't you go play with them and see if you like them. I didn't like any of them. So I just became a Channel. And that was, I'm sure this is on your list of things to ask me, but that was about two months before I talked to you. Slade: Oh! Okay, yeah. I mean one of the things that I'm enjoying about this conversation, for the record for those who are listening, I have known you and observed from outside the experience, but I was curious about, I've heard these stories too, so I'm sitting here putting it all together as a timeline. So you're saying this is where I came in to knowing you. Frank: Yeah. That's exactly right. Slade: Okay, so keep going. This is fascinating. Frank: So I did that for a couple months. I was just kind of trying to figure out what to do with my life and then I kind of came to a crisis where I was trying to understand what it meant to be a Channel. Did it mean I was going to have to give up myself, which is what I had always believed. I think that's why I always dabbled with it. That I was going to have to give up my personality, my sense of self. And I had had a project at the time where I was interviewing people and I can't even remember what the topic was, but you were one of the people that I interviewed. For some, like it was a podcast or, I don't know what I was doing. But somehow that's how I got in touch with you. And then about a week after we talked, I called, I texted, I don't know how I got in touch with you, but I just was like, I need help, I'm having a nervous breakdown. And you kind of walked me through, No, there's - I don't remember what you said, but what i got out of it was, there's you as the Channel, and then there's you as Frank. And you're, it's just like a job. You're going to put on this hat, and when you're done with the hat, with the job, you take off the hat. And I was like, Oh, yeah, of course! And so, what's interesting is, what has actually happened is that through the channeling and through what I've been doing since then, I have become more of myself, not less. And I have become more at peace with different idiosyncratic aspects of myself and different parts of my personality and everything is sort of folded in together, instead of being these wildly disparate parts that I was really scared of. And now everything is more integrated. So it's exactly the opposite of what I was afraid of. So that's how we met. And then the next significant thing that happened was that I, about a month after we talked, at this point I was living in Dallas, which is itself a weird story because I had lived in Austin and nobody goes from Austin to Dallas. Everybody goes from Dallas to Austin. Because they're like, I'm tired of living this big city life. I'm going to go some place where everybody's cool. So I did the opposite. But in doing so, I met a group of people in Fort Worth, of all places, who were Abraham devotees. And Abraham, I'd always been like, I'd seen the books, I'd never picked one up, and I thought, Oh Abraham, Sarah, Esther... I get it. Bible, bible, bible. This is just more of that old new-thought crap where everything has to be biblically based. Of course I didn't read anything. I didn't know what they were talking about. But it just - I was like, Eh, whatever. So I go to this group in Fort Worth and then there's going to be an Abraham workshop down in San Antonio. So there I'll just, as Abraham people do, completely, completely over the moon about this opportunity. And they're like, You have to go with us! And so I did. Even though I really didn't have the money. Somebody actually paid for me to go, which was really sweet. So we get there and of course, being this group, we got there as soon as the doors opened. And so we then sat in chairs for an hour and a half waiting for the thing to start. Because everybody wanted to be right up front. And we get in there and I'm just like, Okay, then suddenly, the room's filling up and it's time to start. And I suddenly became aware of the presence of Abraham as an energy. And it was just really obvious. And then as soon as, the way I imagine is the way I saw it, was that up at the top of the room, there was like people waiting, like people waiting for the warehouse to open or the factory to open to start their shift. And they were all standing around smoking cigarettes and shooting the breeze. And then all of a sudden, the shift started and it all coalesced as a single energy right at the centre of the room. I wasn't imagining this. It was literally what I saw. That's how i interpreted it. And then as soon as that coalescing happened, Esther and Jerry, Esther Hicks and her husband Jerry, walked in the door. And Esther's the woman who channels Abraham. They walked in the door and we started. The first part of the workshop was amazing. There were one after another after another of people asking questions and it was really, really amazing to sit there and watch Esther do her thing. Because I could see what she was doing. As a Channel, I knew enough about what I was doing already to see how she was handling the energy. What was fascinating was a guy comes up. The last question of the first segment. So before the first break. And he's missing an arm, missing his right arm and missing his right leg. And he walks up and he sits down in the chair and he says, I want my arm and my leg back. Just like that. That's literally his opening question. And I saw Esther kind of pop out and look around at the room, be like, How the hell am I going to do this? Which I very much recognized. And then she popped back in. And then Abraham began to do something that I'm now very familiar with, and was kind of like, helping him begin to open up to possibilities instead of seeing a big leap from a missing limbs to i want to have the limbs back, began to walk him through the ideas of what could possibly happen. And a lot of it was about being willing to be like the coolest guinea pig who tests out new prosthetics, which I thought was amazing. But it was just this really great conversation. When that was over with, because I didn't know myself like I know myself now, I didn't do this, but I immediately wanted to get up and drive back to Dallas. I did not want to stay for the rest of the workshop. But because I was there with this group of people and this person had paid for me to be there, I stayed. What a friend of mine who was in that group said to me later was that, she said I thought you just looked so angry after that first break. And I said, Well, I wasn't angry. I just was very uncomfortable. And what I ended up doing was I ended up getting all the way to the back of the room. I wanted to be there because I felt like I was doing homework. Or studying something. And I wanted to be in the room but I didn't want to be in the room. And I went all the way, way, way, way into the back. And that's the only Abraham workshop I've ever been to and I would never go to one again. I might change my mind and it's not because the work isn't amazing. It's just because it's not me. And it's not for me. But the next thing that happened after that was about six months later after I was still kind of dabbling a little bit and hadn't really said, Okay I'm a Channel and this is what I do. I end up back in Austin and the way Communion of Light describes this is, the way Paul describes this is, that they sent me to Abraham school, which, that's really the best way to put it. I just suddenly had an idea one day and I realized there was this law of attraction group in Austin that was kind of sitting there with nobody running it. And I had been part of that before I moved to Dallas. And I was coming back to Austin so I thought, Oh great, I'll just take over this group. It was one of those meet-up groups. We'll just study Ask and It Is Given, which is the big Abraham book. And so I did, I don't know why it came to me, but I just set up this little agenda, something I would never even normally do. And like we're going to do chapters 1, 2, 3, first week and then 4, 5, 6, and then 7, 8, 9. And I stood up at the front. I explained, we went through that book. And then we went through another book. And then we did the first book again. And then I set up the second group. And then both of the groups ended at the same time the study of whatever books we were looking at, after about six months. And then I was done. And by then, I knew it felt better to just leave. And that's when I started kind of my practice that I do now and the work that I do now. And that's when clients began to come to me and began to show up. And I started being able to make a living doing what I do now. And that was - what was also fascinating about that is that at the beginning, the first year or two I got lots of people who were saying - well there were two groups. One group would say, I've gotten everything from Abraham I can get. And so now I've found you and now I feel like all of my questions are being answered. Because that is the difference between Paul and Abraham's. Paul directly answers the questions that people ask whereas Abraham will take the questions and use them as examples for teaching. And Paul will say very clearly we don't teach. We remind. And that's a big part of what they talk about. And they're always kind of reminding people that that's what they're doing. So that was one group. But then there was another group much smaller. Who would kind of show up, they would sort of pop their head up somewhere and say, You're just copying Esther. I'm like, you need to come and see that this is very different. But it took me awhile to be able to realize that I was right when I said that. Because I would, every time someone would show up to say that, I would sort of think, well maybe they're right. Maybe I'm just mimicking. And then I would ask people who'd been to every single Abraham workshop since 1993 and say, Is this the same? And they would say, No, it's absolutely different. The words are enough the same to where I don't get lost. And that's when I begin to realize, Oh, that's why I went to Abraham school. Was so that I would learn that language. So that happened for the next couple of years and then by about 2010, I was in my element and I was rocking and rolling and that's what's been going on ever since. Getting better and better, but you know, pretty much... Slade: Yeah, so currently, because I've been to live events like what you describe. The trance channeling event that I went to was a much smaller, like a circle, kind of thing. 20 people. It wasn't a full-on conference hall kind of experience. But channeling is obviously different than what most people expect from a psychic reading and so... Frank: Yes. Slade: Just kind of describe for people how do you do your work? How do your followers or clients experience these messages? How do you put them out there? Frank: Well, the way people - I don't know how people find me. Because I don't advertise. They just show up. And that's perfect. That's exactly right. But in terms of how I interact with people or how they interact with Paul, I do have, well, I guess I have three different types of experiences that people can get into. First there's a thing that's been going on since 2010 called the Village, which is just a series of weekly calls that happen twice a week now, used to be three times but now twice, and you just, it's open. You bring whatever question you have and there are people from all over the world who come into those calls. The other thing that I do, and I don't do it every week but almost every week is, I have a Saturday through Friday series of conversations that happen at the same time every day. 10am Eastern Time. And people come in with - there's a little, it's on a specific topic and there'll be a 10 - 15 minute initial sort of conversation about it and then time for people to ask questions about it after that. And so that's - they can, that's one way of sort of coming in a little bit closer because those conversations are much more intimate and they're very specific. So people come in with specific questions on a specific topic, like it might be, their self-image, body, creativity, their work, money. Any... It can be, or just general metaphysics, sometimes. So there's that. And I also do private sessions where people can talk one on one. One of the strategies, for lack of a better way of putting it, that I've developed is, I kind of keep the private sessions over to the side. Because there was a period of time when I had what I like to call “looky-loos", who came in and would do one private session and they would not read any of the things I had written about what a session is like, and they would come in and be like, Tell me about my Aunt Esther. And I'm like, ... did you... and Paul would basically read them the Riot Act and say, This is not fortune telling. This is not that. This is not mediumship. There are other people. Go to them. But if you want to find out about you in relationship to your Aunt Esther, whether she's alive or dead, we can talk about that. But we can't tell you about her because we're not talking to her we're talking to you. And that, I began to realize... So now, in terms of pricing, if somebody comes to the website, you can book a private session, but it's going to cost a whole lot of money. And I do that specifically because I don't want people just coming in off the street doing that. I'd rather them go in through, either the Village or through actually the morning series calls. Because there it's a really good way to get exposed to the material. I also have tons of samples. I don't even know how many hours now. But lots and lots of them. So there's lots of opportunities to sort of hear what it's like and then decide if it's right. Because it isn't right for everybody. And I would not suggest that anyone who generally considers themselves to be a psychic or to be interested in intuitive development, a lot of the people you work with, that that's not going to be enough. You're going to want to have something a little bit more because I don't like to say that this is advanced material, because it isn't, but we talk a lot about things that, as far as I know, are not being discussed anywhere else. But then again, I don't really know because I don't pay attention to what anyone else is doing. But I do know that Paul is very direct with people and is very clear and that's not for everybody. Because some people, and I do hold you responsible for this by the way, Slade. Slade: Why? Frank: Because you're - that thing that you say. Where 83% less flowers or something. Slade: Oh, okay! Frank: It comes from that. It literally comes from that. Because there was something that, there was like the first time I ever saw your website and I saw that, it was like a bell went off. And I thought, Of course! That's actually what makes what I'm doing very different. Because there's no soft pedaling. It's not hard information. It's not scary information. It's just very direct. It's like, You are doing this and you can do something different. Which is very different than saying, Well, you know, some people do it in this way and then you could maybe think about doing it in that way. It's very direct. Gets right to the heart of the matter of whatever the person is bringing to the table. Which I very much love. Because, to me, that's the most useful thing you can do. But it's not what everybody wants. And I wouldn't pretend to think that that would be right for any particular specific person. Only the other person is going to know. I would never know. So that's why I like to kind of give people the ability to sort of float in and float out and see what they like and what they don't. And then if they want to go deeper, there's lots of other opportunities to do that. Slade: You'd be the perfect person to ask the question about what kind of message do you feel like perhaps it's something that comes through when you're doing these sessions with Paul and the Communion of Light. A message that you feel like is missing from a lot of other new age channels and I don't mean channel in the literal sense. I just mean any kind of platform that produces these types of conversations. This type of subject matter. Is there something that you sort of want to put out there that you don't feel gets said enough? Frank: Well, if you want to hear, yes. There is one very specific thing. But it's kind of an assholey thing for me to say. Slade: That's alright. Frank: Okay. So it's that, it's basically - how much can I curse? Slade: You can curse all you want to. I'll put a little red E on the episode. Frank: Okay. Stop. Fucking. Manipulating. The. Universe. Stop trying to manipulate the Universe to give you what you want. It doesn't work. And I know you agree with me on this. Well, actually I don't know that. I suspect you do. What I hear a lot of new age people saying is, Here's how you're going to convince the Universe to be on your side. And that's not the way it works. The Universe is absolutely positively on your side. In a way that you can't even begin to comprehend because there's no person who is on your side the way the Universe is. Because every person has an ax to grind. And that makes them distinct from you. That's part of the set up of physical reality is that there's a distinction between you and someone else. And the distinction is not the body but rather the intention that causes the body to happen. So the thing that really - it doesn't bother me. It's just like, there's a lot of, How can I massage the Universe, how can I convince the Universe to do what I want it to do? You can't. You can't control it. But you can direct it. But directing and controlling are two very very different things. You can direct and say, this is the intention that I have. And then you have to stand back and let it happen. And you can't control it. And there's sort of an idea in the new age new thought arena where if I can figure out how to control my mind, control my body, control my events, control my circumstances, control my situations, control my relationships, then I'll get all the things that I want. But that's impossible. You literally can't control any of those things. Slade: Yeah... Frank: Because control is the illusion that we generate because we believe, and this is getting right to the heart of stuff Paul talks about, because we believe we live in a chaotic universe and we are supposed to be controlling things. It's not just something that people do who have a pathology. It's what you're supposed to do because otherwise you are going to get in a shitload of trouble. Slade: So what can we do instead? How should we orient ourselves away from that in another direction? Frank: Well my favorite thing that Paul says is, Give up now. Give up early. Give up often. Give up immediately. Give up constantly. Always give up. Always give up. And that's another one of those new age things where people will come around and be like, Never give up! Hold on to your dreams. No. Actually, give up your dreams. Not because you're now giving them away and you're never going to have them again. But because the Universe actually... it's not like the Universe ever forgot that you had a dream. And it's not your job to work on it. So the practical, most practical thing, in my opinion, is, and it's to be willing to let go of whatever it is that you're trying to get. Slade: Mmm... Frank: But the key there is willing. It's amazing how many people will be like, will say, I don't want to give up what I'm working on. Well, you don't have to give up on it. Just be willing to give up on it. And the way Paul puts that is, still, somebody will say, Well, I'm intending to create this experience. And they'll say, Okay... First and foremost, are you willing to not have it? And of course, you know, even people who've been asked that question many times will say, No, I'm not. I really, really... I need it. I want it. I've got to have it. I've got to get it. And then I say, Well, you're going to have a very hard time getting to it because as long as you NEED it, you're always going to be in a state of needing it. And means that it will be over there, not over here. You don't accomplish NEEDING something by getting to it or making it happen. Even the people you think are doing that, even when you think you've done that in the past, that's not how it happened. It happened because you let go of it long enough for it to come to you. Because that's the way this is designed. Everything comes to you. Nothing is supposed - you're not supposed to be reaching out for anything. You can, and it's okay if you do, but let it come to you because everything is designed to come to you but not in the sort of Shirley Temple Good Ship Lollipop sort of way that most people think that means. Like, well then everything will be exactly perfect. No! Shit is still going to happen. But you need shit to happen. Because that's part of the physical experience. That's how you define the difference between one thing and another. Is by noticing, This is something I don't want. And so that gives you the opportunity to decide, well this is something I do want. But not want as in need, but want as in have a preference for or have an affinity for. Slade: Mmm... Frank: And as I've begun to kind of, for myself, really take a lot of this in and try to walk as much of the talk that comes out of my mouth as I can, what I've noticed is, my desire for stuff has diminished. Greatly. Slade: Mmm... Frank: Whereas I thought, I was always afraid for a long time that all of this talk how manifestation works in creating your own reality, I would end up being very greedy. But actually the exact opposite has happened And I find myself more delighted to be in the midst of what I'm beginning to realize other people are probably judging me for, which I don't really give a shit about, and I don't give a shit about it. They're like, You should be - and I say this very jokingly - you're as good as Esther. Why don't you have three houses and 15 gazillion clients and selling 19,000 best-selling books because you're not working, you're not doing what you're supposed to do? No, I'm doing exactly what I want to do. And I don't want any of that. I thought I wanted it. Because it seemed like this very Good Ship Lollipop kind of thing that would be really great to have and then I would be in the middle of all of this whatever it is that she has and, I don't want what she has. I mean, I love that she has it. I think that it's fabulous. But I don't want it. This sounds much loftier and much more exalted than I mean it. It's just, being willing to give up what it is that I thought I wanted has allowed me to discover what it is that I truly, truly, truly love. Which I feel like I've just barely scraped the surface of. Slade: That was awesome. I love all of that. I'm just taking it in. I'm glad I asked you that question. It was a last minute add. Alright, let's switch gears just a little bit. There's somebody out there listening right, who feels like they might be emerging as a Channel. They're going through that experience that you were going through 10 years ago. So what do you recommend that they do first? Frank: Well... Oh that's a really good question. It would depend. And so I'll give a couple of scenarios. The part... So the story that I've told about my own process is stretched out because I'm really stubborn. But I also had to kind of learn who I was. And that didn't happen 'til I turned 40. Really, truly. And that was 10 years ago. So all that summer of 2007 stuff was right after I turned 40. And that's kind of when I became a real person, in my opinion. Because everything else I'd been doing was, I was trying to satisfy other people's desires, and that's - if you're willing to become a Channel, you're going to discover all of the shit that you've been trying to pull on yourself your entire life. You can't get away from it. And that's not for everybody. But the simple most practical thing I would do is I would either get a coach, a mentor, someone else who's done it, or really go to the basics, which is that book. There's never been a better book written on this topic than Opening the Channel. It is - and if you do what they say in the way that they say it, and you do it in the order and in the amount of time it takes, not one day, but over a series of weeks into months, it will work. You'll also discover what it is that you're really wanting. When, back in that summer of 2007, there was a guy that I knew in Dallas who I went and had lunch with one day. And I was telling him about, it was after I'd been to San Antonio, and I was telling him about what I'd seen and what had happened and all that. And he, because his way of teaching is to be an asshole, so what he did was, he said, This is all about your ego. And I was like, Well, yes but except for the part where I'd done this long enough to know that it isn't about my ego. I would be willing to walk away from it. I'm not trying to do this to become famous or become like, although I probably didn't say that at the time, but I was pretty aware of it at the time. But what he was pointing out was, you're going to get to sit in all of your stuff and that's, it's not for the faint of heart. And I'm not saying it's hard. It's actually, this is actually a very simple thing to do. It's just that it requires you to move into a place psychologically, mentally, energetically, where you're willing to let go of what you think is supposed to happen. And for me, that's what channeling - for me it's a daily practice. That's what channeling is. Is it allows me to sit and let something much bigger than me happen. Through me. And to be willing to not have to figure out what I'm going to say next or how I'm going to do it or how I'm going to show up. Just to be able to recognize the right people, right place, right time, right way, is what's going on. Always. So the willingness to fall back into that and to be open to it is first and foremost. And when I say willingness, I don't mean ability to do that. It's WILLINGNESS. Because everybody has the ability to do that already. Organically. As a part of their nature. The willingness is where the rub is. If you're willing to let it happen, it will happen. But you don't - and it's not 100% willingness, it's just a little bit, in my experience. So again, the practical thing is: a. Get help. Don't do it by yourself. Even if that means just a book. Or.. because they also did a set of recordings, Sanaya and Duane did, on this, for that book. But get someone else to help you. And be aware of the fact that not mediumship, which is a very different thing, but channeling as in, just letting this energy come through you, is about being willing to let something bigger than how you perceive yourself happen. And it sounds really exalted and, Ohmygod, that's of course exactly what everyone and all people should be doing. But it's scary as shit. Because when the rubber meets the road, you've still got your identity of yourself and how you are holding yourself together and what you're supposed to be doing to make things happen. And channeling will challenge that. It's not difficult and it's not really as scary as I'm making it sound. It's just that it's like a very fast course of psychotherapy. Slade: Well it sounds like if you are listening to this and you feel like that is your path, the easiest thing for you to do as a human being, period, is to simply move in to it. And move through it. Right? Frank: Yeah. And it's not going to feel simple. But it is the simplest thing. Slade: I don't want to run out of time, and I could talk to you all day and we could just go and go and actually people could just go to you and listen to more of you. But I want to give you an opportunity to talk about - you have a new book that just came out today called, This Morning, Over Here: A Memoir That Never Happened. Tell us about that. Frank: Well, briefly. It's a little novella that I wrote about a month ago as just something that came to me and it's a story about me moving over into what Paul likes to call a Parallel Reality. And I just wake up one morning and I have everything that I've ever wanted. But I don't have everything that I know. And it's sort of like, 24-hour period of walking through this reality trying to figure out who I am now, and it's - I wrote it, it's kind of in the tradition of Jane Roberts The Over Soul Seven series of books and taking some of these ideas and putting them into practice. But hilariously, yesterday, because I knew I was going to release this today, I asked Paul, Okay, could this actually happen? Because I knew they were involved in this. In fact, they're quoted in the book to a certain extent. And they were like, No, you can't. You literally can't do that. And they explained why, in a lot of detail, much longer than we have here. But they said thinking about it is really helpful thing because being aware of the fact that every idea manifests, every idea manifests. It just may not manifest with you. Is a very powerful thought. And there's a lot you can do with that. So I really enjoyed the process of writing the book. I really love the story for a variety of reasons. And it was one of those experiences where I, exactly what they said yesterday is exactly what I discovered. Which was, as I wrote the book, I could see the ME that moved over into this other reality started kicking ass a little bit more than I normally do. And I was kind of like, Oh, I like that! I like what's going on over here. And it wasn't the stuff. It was what happened in my personality, how I adapted to it. So it was fun to write. And it's a really quick read. It's only 24,000 words so it's maybe a couple of hours at the most. And I just had a lot of fun with it. And it's up on Amazon, so... Slade: Links in the show notes. I'll put a link in there for sure. So, Frank, it's been really wonderful just to kind of hear your story laid out in chronological fashion like that. Tell everyone where they can go online to find you. Frank: So it's really easy. Just go to CommunionofLight.com and there's a bunch of things there. You can contact me through there. You can listen to hundreds or samples of things that I've done over the last 10 years, or last 7 years, really. Or you can jump in and enjoy some of the things we're doing. And get in touch! let me know you heard this conversation. I'd love to talk to anyone about the topic of channeling or whatever it is that comes up for you. And so, thats where you can find me. That's where I'm at. Slade: Well I feel really honoured to get to capture some of your time and wisdom today. It was really terrific. Thank you for coming on. Frank: Well thank you! It was a real pleasure and what a lot of fun as always talking with you. OUTRO Thanks again for listening to the Shift Your Spirits podcast.

Frank Butterfield is a Master Channel who brings forth the amazing Communion of Light vortex several times a day. Speaking with a voice known as Paul, this Communion of Light is a place where you can remember that you actually do indeed create your reality, that you do a damn good job at it already, and that you are really quite amazing right now, thank you very much.   We are going to talk about how to find love with joy and ease. Like so many things, we tend to make finding love a lot more complicated than it really is. Frank, through Communion of Light, will share with us a completely different perspective, starting with one simple truth: Love is all there is.

Abraham tells us that we are not creating with Spirit but experiencing rendezvous points with what has already been created in consciousness. Tune in to find easy, joyful ways to cross paths with your highest intentions.    We also endorse Frank Butterfield's Series "When My Business Exploded" and his other wonderfully channeled audio http://communionoflight.com/series/. And our favorite new book How Do You Pray by friend and spiritual teacher Celeste Yacoboni. This book is filled with inspiring responses from leaders in all walks of life, helping us all to understand prayer in a new and vital way.

Master channel and good friend of the MAPS, Frank Butterfield returns and he's bringing his non-physical friends, Paul and the Communion of Light with him!  The COL shared some powerful information with us regarding past lives, ancient civilizations, the nature of animal souls and more. This is a pre-recorded episode.

We are joined this week by The Communion of Light via channel Frank Butterfield as he shares his gift of opening to greater wisdom. Listen in as students of the law of attraction ask everyday questions in search of their alignment.   If you 'd like to hear more from this channel, check out www.thecommunionoflight.com.

We will explore exciting and game-changing ideas around weight loss and the Law of Attraction, with the help of our resident channel Frank Butterfield and The Communion of Light. You'll hear some teaser tracks from a full series that The Communion is offering called the Inner Thinner Being series. If you have struggled with weight or know someone you love who gets metaphysics but can't overcome this issue, then you'll want to purchase the whole series. You can email frank@communionoflight.com for more information on how to hear this leading-edge, amazing information.

Just when you think you have heard it all about how to create abundance—there is more. The more this week on our show is courtesy of Frank Butterfield and the Communion of Light. We'll be featuring a Village call that really gets into the nitty-gritty on how we can realize the pot of gold right here, right now.  A special thanks to the sponsor of this week’s episode, www.sendoutcards.com/attraction. 

We dedicate today's show to the Communion of Light and revel in their wisdom, their insights, their ease. In three segments we talk about physical conditions, family relationships and money! It's Everyday Enlightenment this week on Everyday Attraction. This show is brought to you with the support of Frank Butterfield and the Communion of Light. Check out www.communionoflight.com. See you in The Village.

We explore what it means to really release resisting what is while still demanding well-being. "Demanding" you can have what you want. It is mystical, magical and totally practical balance of being in the world fully engaged but holding a broader knowing that allows great joy.

There is more freedom than you can imagine in how life show's up for you. We've begun a deep and revelationary understanding of the mechanics of creation. Let's release the process and open up to allowing MORE of what we are wanting.   JOIN OUR GRATITUDE CHALLENGE: www.socgratitude.com/attraction   We want to thank Frank Butterfield and The Communion of Light for their priceless contribution to today's show.

We'll explore the power of allowing versus the resistance that often comes when we TRY to make something happen—manipulating what we know about attraction. We'll hear from our friend, Frank Butterfield, of The Communion of Light (www.communionoflight.com). We'll also review the magnificent book written by Anita Moorjani titled Dying to Be Me: My Journey From Cancer, to Near Death, to True Healing. Learn more about Anita at www.dyingtobeme.com.  

This episode of Frank and the Communion of Light(Paul) had a very powerful effect on Matt and Phil. They both agreed this could be the best episode ever done with Frank and his good friends. Give a listen and be prepared to have this content effect how you look at what you see in the world as your life....its all about YOU.

This phrase is something many of us are familiar with from the Teachings of Abraham. On today's program we follow another being of light brought to us by teacher, channel, friend of Everyday Attraction, Frank Butterfield. We'll hear an entire channeled exchange as everyday questions about freedom, money, careers, get the perspective of Source poured upon them. Enjoy. You can read and hear more about Frank's work by visiting www.communionoflight.com.

You are constantly told in these metaphysical gatherings to "cleanup your vibration" so you can get what you want. Well, what does that mean exactly? And will explored by perception is always at the root of our "problems." Life just gets easier and easier on Everyday Attraction. Today's program is inspired by Frank Butterfield and his work with the Communion of Light, www.communionoflight.com.  

The Communion of Light are non-physical teachers who speak through the talented channel, Frank Butterfield.  We are very pleased to welcome Frank and the COM back to the Matt and Phil Show!  These visits are always very powerful and enlightening.  If you enjoy the Abraham-Hicks or Seth teachings you will love hearing from their "vibrational cousins"! Callers can ask questions directly to the COM while the Show is live.

Today we explore the KEY to being a powerful creator—and the decision is yours now. We use the help of wonderful Frank Butterfield and his Communion of Light, www.communionoflight.com, to help us understand who we are and how to live more ecstatic lives now.   Happy Easter—as we rise again and again.

Frank Butterfield first learned to channel one cold and rainy San Francisco afternoon in 1990. Inspired by Kevin Ryerson and Sture Johansson, the channels in Shirley McLaine‘s movie, “Out on a Limb,” and Jane Roberts’ Seth books, Frank sat down with Opening to Channel, by Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer, and started to read. On that day he met the entity Raji, who, in his own words, was “here for a short while to help.” Now living in Austin, Frank, a superstar in his own right, facilitates the bringing together of individuals or groups and their non-physical friends into a powerful Communion of Light. Frank channels this Communion, speaking in a single voice known as Paul, who answers each persons’ burning and thorny questions in a manner that demonstrates to all participants “the truth of who they are.”  http://communionoflight.com/
