Bob on Channeling

Discussion on Channeling with Robert Nelson

Introduction

Paul Power introduces a session with Robert Nelson on the topic of channeling, recorded on December 26, 2018. The conversation aims to explore channeling in more detail, discussing various approaches, potential dangers, and personal experiences.

General Concept of Channeling

Robert Nelson explains that channeling occurs constantly, often without awareness. He compares human personalities to a complex structure, similar to a gift in a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, symbolizing multiple aspects of a person’s identity. Nelson argues that individuals may channel different roles in daily life—such as a traffic cop, teacher, or parent—without recognizing it.

Entering Altered States

According to Nelson, any form of channeling requires entering an altered state. He gives the example of emotional shifts, like going from calm to anger, as altered states. To channel, a person must first relax into a meditative, altered state, which acts as the foundation for the process. When another entity channels through the person, it involves another layer of alteration to their state of being.

Personal Experience with a Pet During Channeling

Nelson recalls a specific incident involving his dog, Kiera, while channeling in Davenport, Florida. Kiera reacted aggressively, barking and scratching at the door, suggesting she sensed something unusual about Nelson’s altered state. The behavior ceased once Nelson returned to his normal state, emphasizing how deeply the altered state can affect not only the person but also their surroundings.

Types of Channeling and Associated Risks

Nelson discusses various forms of channeling, including automatic writing and the Ouija board, both of which he strongly advises against due to their dangers. He warns that contacting unknown entities can result in unpredictable and potentially harmful outcomes. He mentions the need for caution when dealing with spiritual beings, referencing religious texts that advise “testing the spirits.”

Relationship with Guides

Nelson addresses the concept of spirit guides, noting that legitimate guides do not take control of one’s life or make decisions for them, such as what to wear or eat. A true guide allows the individual to learn through their own experiences while offering support and wisdom, rather than dictating actions. He shares his interactions with the Archangel Michael, describing moments of frustration but acknowledging that guides do not intervene in human affairs unnecessarily.

Ethical Considerations in Channeling

Nelson emphasizes the ethical responsibility in channeling, particularly the importance of not controlling others’ minds or manipulating free will. He asserts that attempting to control others, even through spiritual means, is inherently wrong. He mentions his own experimentation in this area, which he ultimately rejects as unethical.

Influence of Channeling on Behavior

Nelson explains that after a session, it is possible to retain some traits or behaviors of the channeled being temporarily. This occurs because the brain chemistry of the individual may be altered during the process. However, these effects typically fade with time.

Advice on Safe Channeling

Nelson provides two main recommendations for those interested in channeling: either avoid it entirely or proceed with caution. Robert advises channeling only entities that are known and trusted, and ideally, channeling the love of God, as this is the safest option. He emphasizes the importance of prayer before channeling and encourages individuals to trust their instincts if something feels wrong during a session.

Project on “Keys: Love Letters from God”

Nelson shares details of a personal project that began in 1982, where he channeled a series of writings titled Keys: Love Letters from God. He describes the process of writing as automatic, with a presence guiding his hand in a cursive style that differed from his usual handwriting. The writings consisted of advice from God, offering guidance rather than dictating actions. Nelson plans to share these letters in future sessions.

Conclusion

The session concludes with Nelson expressing his intent to continue sharing these experiences through platforms like YouTube. He leaves the decision to listen or not up to the audience, offering his reflections and ending the discussion with a bid of “Godspeed.”
