Channeling Heaven

I have been asked the question time and time again. "Why do you believe in the ethereal world?"

Every single time somebody asks me this question my soul stops in its tracks and begins to process a level of information far beyond my understanding. I have almost always responded in the exact same way, "Why do you actually believe in the physical world?"

Their eyes flutter in surprise, they are taken aback.

I continue, "Is it because you are sitting in a physical body, interacting with a seemingly physical world? Perhaps because you truly feel what you see here is actually real."

They respond, "Is it not real?"

My soul has now completely overwhelmed me to a point where my mind is processing energy in an incredibly heightened level. I look upon them, but I do not see them. I only recognize another realizing God-self curious about the nature of their current form. I smile at the ironic situation that God has placed me within. I begin my story not knowing how they will respond to what I am about to tell them.

It all starts with a simple statement, "You believe this world is real because everything in your Life has been set up to confirm to you that it is real."

I was once just a simple observer of the human psychology. I discovered that every single person's perception of reality is slightly different from each other, that we all place significant value on slightly differing aspects of the same stream of energy. I was confused at how Life operates when we all want different things. What we perceive as value is nothing more than a psychological flaw tailored to our own misgivings and perfectly accentuated to our own eccentricities. There are more definitions to the Meaning of Life than there are Stars in Heaven. Reality is nothing more than a veil of perception and Life is nothing more than a collage of thoughts and dreams chasing the simple idea of perceived value.

"What if I told you that I once felt something that felt more real than Life itself? Would you believe me?"

They shuffle on their feet with a puzzled look on their face, and then finally ask "What did you feel?"

I throw myself to the mercy of God by suggesting such an outrageous thing to their face, "I once met an Archangel. I was sitting there one night and he came to me to pass on a message. He burst me in so much Unconditional Love that I found myself feeling the Universe through my veins. His Love was so powerful that it warmed my body up and melted me into the fabric of time."

I pause to reflect on the warm Love circulating my body, I can still feel it within me. I continue, "It was the first time in my Life that I was awoken to the fact that we are all still within that field of Unconditional Love. It gives us Life, it surrounds us from the moment we are born till the second we die. Even then, some still find Unconditional Love in their Death. What I was shown, the small eternal glimpse the Archangel allowed me to feel, felt more real than anything else I have ever experienced. You ask me why I believe in the ethereal world, and my response to you is because it feels more real than the physical world..."

They stare at me amazed, "Sufian that is incredible... May I ask what was the message?"

I look back at them silently, lost within contemplation.

They repeat it again, "What was the message the Archangel came down to pass on to you?"

My eyes snap back to physical reality and I can feel my soul talking though me, "God. The Archangel simply wanted me to believe in God."

Channeling is nothing more than the ability to communicate with things that have been around us our entire Life. We simply learn to accept that the human veil of perception is very limiting and we begin to enhance our lives by delving into that which truly makes us feel incredible. We were all given the gift of Life, some of us just surrendered to the fact that we can't control it. When we surrender to Life, we can begin to feel God around us. A miraculous feeling that we are somehow part of a Divine plan. We are all just souls passing through a notion of existence. This particular existence requires us to forget who we are from the moment of our inception into the physical world. We take on lives and dance through the consciousness of our society till it is time to leave once again.

Some find true Love, a mirror of God's heart in the physical world. We become attached to the physical world because we have nothing else to truly grasp a hold to. To venture into the ethereal world is to pull up our anchors and discover another meaning to our existence. It is to gently begin to leave the physical world behind and warm ourselves up to the fact that we may not be here one day. Death may wisp us away faster than the speed of light. All that will remain is the nostalgia we feel for the long forgotten physical world and a glimmering hope that we can now express ourselves in a much more heightened way. We fear Death, whereas what we should be doing is expressing Love for the fact that our journey is now taking on a new form. A form that will one day bring us back to Life, when we can become incredibly attached once again.
