Understanding Channeled Messages - What You Need to Know About Channeled Messages

The following paragraph is an excerpt of a message channeled through Natalie Glasson (February 8, 2010) from Ascended Master El Morya titled, "Your Reality is Within You." In this article I translate the channeled message into simpler English.

"When we begin to look within us we notice that outside influences can help and support us but it is your own dedication to bringing harmony to your inner energies that will aid your connection with the Creator. There are three ways that you can assist yourself in gaining inner harmony, these are through the focus of your mind, through the alignment of your soul or Creator energies with your physical body and reality, and the cleansing and clearing of all particles of energies or unneeded energies within your entire being... It is through the clearing of disharmony, separation and controversy that you will gain a sense of your truth self, wisdom, presence, ability and magnificence... This goal is so pure and worthy of your efforts, let yourself be devoted and allow yourself to discover the beauty, healing energies and enlightenment of your inner reality..."

Oftentimes when you read such channeled messages much of the information goes in one ear and out the other, or it goes over your head altogether. You don't really know what to do with the information or where to begin, nothing gets changed in your attention or your actions and so nothing really happens in your life. Then you find yourself increasingly frustrated and blame yourself for not "getting it" yet. I can understand this because this was my experience several years ago when I read some messages channeled by a medium I had met.

The first thing you must understand is this: because channeled messages come from the "higher realms," often from ascended masters, it's almost as though they are in a foreign language, a language that is best understood by the higher self. It is interesting that many channeled messages instruct you in how to reconnect with your higher self (as does the one above), but in order to understand the message with any depth and clarity, you must already be connected with your higher self. This is a catch-22 situation (and one reason why the whole "2012 enlightenment" and global changes concept is not yet well understood).

This is why it's important for someone to translate channeled messages into more accessible, concrete language. It's important to elaborate on the information and make it concrete with real-life examples that make sense to human beings currently residing on this planet. It is only then that you can see the urgency and importance of the messages and how they pertain to your own life.

What the channeled message above says is this: You can get help from outside sources (such as this article, for example) but it is your effort and dedication that will activate your connection with your higher self. No one can do this for you, but you.

There are three ways to gaining harmony within (also known as inner oneness, wholeness, coherence): 1. Your inner focus, looking within, inner contemplation (in one word, meditation, and preferably, a meditation that is focused on reconnecting you with your higher self), 2. Aligning yourself with your higher self (integrating your higher self into your life by noticing new insights and following through with your higher self's guidance consistently), and 3. Clearing out old beliefs and mental conditionings (basically, your higher self will provide you with new insights and wisdom that will challenge your old belief systems.) Having your higher self do this for you is the easiest way to clear out the old baggage, nonsense, guilt, the crazy stuff that has kept you down and is still keeping you down. It is only then that you will gain a sense of who you truly are.

This goal is so worthy of your time and effort. Let nothing come in the way of discovering the truth that is within you. (This is how to prepare for 2012, by the way.)

Okay, so that is the translation and here is the truth about concrete examples: concrete examples require loads of details not to mention needing to be set in a context that provides value and deep understanding and this means lots of words--way too many to put into an article or two. But you may want to check out my ebook, which gives you both the nitty-gritty details as well as the bigger picture to the enlightening experience that integrating with your higher self is.
