I Am The Word

I Am The Word (2010) is the first published book 'channeled' through Paul Selig.  There is no mistaking the significance of the primary message — one that correlates with passages in other cases of transcendental communication.  As stated in chapter One: "You are Word.  You are an aspect of God being brought forth into light.  As you journey, as you access this information, you become Christed in consciousness."  This article presents some excerpts from the book.  First, here are links to three short introductory video clips (4:19 minutes,1:04 minutes; 5:58 minutes).  In these videos, the form of Paul's channeling involves repetition of sentences as Paul remains conscious. 

In the Preface of I Am The Word, Paul Selig described how he hears and communicates (or 'channels') the transcendental communication.
 

When I channel, I feel the impression of the words form in my head, and it blocks out all other thoughts.  As the words come, my lips move to form them, and I whisper them to myself and then repeat them aloud.  Then the next thought, a sentence, or the fragment of a sentence, will be delivered and I will repeat that as well.  Sometimes the information comes through at a lightning pace, other times more slowly, but the experience of it is generally the same: I feel a gentle pressure at my forehead, I am filled with words, and as I speak my body will often respond with accompanying gestures.

I am a conscious channel.  I am aware of all that is happening but am somewhat receded.  I take a step back and allow the information to come forward.

 

In video recordings the repeating of the first whispered words is seen to be done highly expressively at times and with unusual gestures.  A note reports the dates and circumstances of the channeling sessions resulting with the book:

 

The following are transcriptions of channeling sessions recorded in New York City between February 26, 2009, and March 14, 2009.  Paul Selig served as the channel, Victoria Nelson was present via telephone from Berkeley, California.

Excerpts from I Am The Word

The time that you are standing in is a time of great change.  And the change that we speak of is a cosmic one.  And it is an interfacing with the consciousness of man and man's creations in a grand scale.


Why you have come is to realize yourself as the Christed Self that you were intended to be.  That is the mission of man.  That is the mission of every man.  That is the mission that you have been bequeathed and that you are answering to, each one of you, in your way, as you transpire to move through this time.


Now we walk through Paul today as a collective, as a collective energy that has come to this plane to manifest the Christ in man.


We are the Ascended Masters and we come through different names, and we have been present on this plane for thousands of years in different forms.  We are the great teachers.  We are the missionaries.  And we have a great love for mankind that is deeper than you can imagine.


This is the time of the resurrection of the Christ.  The Christ mission has always been to be risen in man.


. . . we will say that we are taking an action here to avert crisis.  But we will say to you this: This is the promise of this time, that the Christ will be made manifest in man.


To be the Christ simply means to be yourself in full realization of your power as a piece of God in action.


. . . the manifestation of a miracle is in fact the action of the Creator in combination with the human energy field, with support from the guides and with higher systems.


You are part of energetic movement and a creation that will have effects and intend to, for a thousand years.  This is the next passage of time, this is the next age, this is the next time, and you are part of the heralding and part of the creation that is shifting this on a global level as the consciousness of this plane rises in frequency.


We want you to envision your worth as a Divine Being as a speck of light at the core of your being.  A golden speck at the heart that believes that she is worthy of her journey to the Christed Self.  And we want you to envision this gold spark alighting as a flame.


When you Word through someone, you gift them with the frequency and you allow the frequency to go where it is required in order to do the work that is needed.  You can intend to Word through someone's bad knee and trust that you are sending healing, but in fact, you do not do this on an ego level, and if you invest in that healing on an ego level, you are actually blocking the frequency of the energies that are available to you, because you think it's you on a personality level that is doing the work.

You are simply the vehicle for the transformation that is occurring.  We do not dismiss this.  We do not say this is little.  You are honored through your work, but you are worked with and you are worked through.


On an etheric level, in your spiritual body you have all four limbs, all of your organs are in place.  On the physical level, you may have had something taken out or something removed.  On the spiritual level, your body remains perfect.


. . . there's already an aspect of yourself that understands that the physical form is a temporary inhabitation of the soul that you exist in lifetime after lifetime.


We want to speak for a moment about empathy and the different ways that empathy can manifest.  Paul serves as an empath.  That is his work.  He can sit before somebody and ask to "feel" them, and he will feel in his body, or what he believes to be his body, where injury has occurred, and then he can bring information forth about the injury or perhaps support it in healing.  He can hear what people say on a telepathic level and feel what they feel.  Again, he is not special.  He has simply refined his energy systems to the ability to tune into others, and when he works with someone else on a practical level he forgets that he is separate long enough to experience them through his own energy systems.


Everybody has memory of being led at some time or another in their lives.  You are walking to the store, and then you had a strange urge to walk in another direction, and then you bumped into someone you needed to know.  You were having a "feeling" about something and then you responded to the feeling, or you didn't respond and you discounted the feeling, only to learn later that had you responded, something wonderful might have occurred.  Your guides are always working with you to support you in your growth.  That is their investment in you.  And they are growing and learning through these interactions as well.


Yes, Paul.  Paul is seeing an image right now of a clay mask placed over his face.  And this mask looks like an old Greek mask, a terra cotta mask of a man with a beard.  And this mask is beginning to crack open.  It's beginning to splinter.  And as it does so, a great light is beginning to work through it.  To manifest the self as the Christed Self requires this mask that each of you wears, this false self that has said to you, "I cannot be myself as my Christed Self," to fall apart and dismantle once and for all.


To be the Christ means to be in the frequency of the Christ consciousness and to manifest the Self at that level.


We want to leave you today with a vision.  And this is the vision: We want you to see yourself standing on a ship.  And this ship is crossing the sea.  And as you are on this ship, the waves are rising and falling.  But you are always supported in the vessel that you are traveling in.  And as the ship nears its shore, you understand that you are moving towards a new vision of yourself and a full experience of yourself as the Christed being that you are in truth.  You stand on this shore, a new man, a new being, a new self in an understanding of "I am Word."


Now we will also tell you that there are things that are created through the acts created in past lives or in a current life that can be referred to as karma.  Yes, it is true that there is indeed a balancing that goes forth as you work through your lifetimes.


We are working through Paul's system.  We are working through other systems of other mediums and channels at this time as well to support this information in reaching the people that it is intended for.  And we are blessed by the availability of this service, just as the reader will be.  But we recommend to you now that you never forget that God is the Creator and you are in service to the Creator through your actions, through your availability, and through your willingness to be of service.

Consistent blog readers will recognize how certain words and expressions recur throughout diverse cases of transcendental communication.  Some examples are three-time repetitions of the same word, analogies involving an oceanic ship or using the word 'mask,' and words and metaphors to express the relation of humans to God such as having a 'divine spark.'  The prominent message in the book is found in transcripts of transcendental communication with the following excerpts offering examples from previous blog articles.

'Tom' through the entranced Phyllis V. Schlemmer:

"So what is important is to know that upon Planet Earth you are the Creator that created you."

"'The Nine' and the New Age"

'Aka-San' by 'mental radio' through Partana Vegan:

"The one who lives in the Christ Consciousness is one conscious of truth.  The more truth one is conscious of the more he lives in the Christ Consciousness which is merely another name for truth . . . and truth is Light."

"Excerpts from Telah Speaks by Partana Vegan 1961"

'John' through the entranced Kevin Ryerson:

"It is, as though, a time wherein, as though individually, individuals are harnessing, as though, their spiritual perspectives, and are bringing about, as though, a collective formulation of the manifestation of that which is called Christ Consciousness.  The Christ Consciousness is, as though, the adherence to the alignment of the mind, the body and the spirit in service, as though, to a greater cause."  

"Some Observations about 'Channeling'"

From the channeled book A Course in Miracles:

"In his complete identification with the Christ—the perfect Son of God, His one creation and His happiness, forever like Himself and One with Him—Jesus became what all of you must be."

"Transcendental Perspectives of Christ and Jesus (Part 2)"

Excerpt from text of Edgar Cayce channeled reading 2081-1 (1940) transcribed during a hypnotic trance session:

15. (Q) What is the lesson that may be drawn from my entrance into the present plane?

(A) That purpose for which the soul entered in, under those circumstances and conditions in the earth's experience in the present, that the soul might meet in this experience that which will make for the more sureness in Him.  For, the earth is His and the fullness thereof.  For, as given, God and the Christ Spirit is Life itself; and the motivating force of the soul is either for that companionship, that association, that development which will make such a soul-body as a fit companion for that Creative Influence manifested in the earth in Him, or it is for separating self from Him

KNOW, then, that in this experience thou mayest come to know him as thine daily companion in whatsoever thou doest . . .

"Case Profile: Edgar Cayce"

Channeled message through Ryuho Okawa (who also remains conscious while channeling) offering the perspective of 'Shakyamuni Buddha':

"My beloved disciples, you are connected to Eternal Life.  You are connected to the life force of the Grand Spirit."

"Messages from Heaven"

'Ascended Master Saint Germain' through clairaudient dictation to Guy Warren Ballard:

"Again, I feel I must say how really fortunate the Student is today in having the Assistance of the Mighty Cosmic Christ.  It seems to Me that when the Student really learns this, he will exert everything within his power to harmonize himself within himself, because he knows he has the Assistance of this Mighty Cosmic Presence."

"The Other Ascended Masters"

 

The Thomas Jacobson/'Dr. Peebles' trance channeling case is the topic of six articles including one about the New Age.  Expressions and descriptions of 'God' used by 'Dr. Peebles' and quoted in the case study To Dance with Angels (1990) include: "God is ever present in self as well as in life elsewhere"; "a divine force"; "all things are one"; "the source"; "a life force that is the intelligence of the universe"; "God is all things and God is consciousness—God is aware and active in the universe and throughout all time and space.  Each and every human mind, mind of the animal, natural intelligence of the plants, and of the entire relationship of universe, are particles of this mind." 
 
A 'trance channeler' who is the subject of several blog articles (including a 2016 article) is spiritual healer Ray Brown through whom 'Paul' facilitates healing and offers metaphysical discourses.  In the Ray Brown autobiography A Mere Grain of Sand (2004), 'Paul' is quoted to have advised about an Earth life: "Strive to improve yourself in every way possible while you are experiencing this life.  Remember you are responsible for everything that you do on Earth . . . The reason that you are here is because the source of all life, God, had given you this opportunity.  Do not waste it, be thankful for your life, and do your very best with every opportunity to spread love and truth.  This is the way to enrich the source when you eventually go back from where you came." 
 
Considering the primary message in I Am The Word, more examples of correlating passages from transcripts of channeling cases may be read in the concluding four paragraphs of a blog article from January.

Channeled Insights to Christ Consciousness

"Paul and the Word" (2011) is a 28-minute documentary video about 'channeler' Paul Selig (website) and his book I Am The Word.

"You are an aspect of God being brought forth into light.  As you journey, as you access this information, you become Christed in consciousness."  

The extent of comprehension among readers for the momentous theme of I Am The Word (2010)—the first published book 'channeled' through Paul Selig—is something that will vary due to the diversity of beliefs and orientations among people.  Those who have some knowledge of what has been called 'deep trance,' 'overshadowing' or 'total takeover' channeling probably have already transcended the perspective of disbelief — a perspective that may have been engendered due to the limitations of the commercialized mainstream news media among people who haven't accessed more substantive information sources.  In the book at one point 'the Word' is defined as "the action of God."

In the video "Paul and the Word," Paul's channeling process is shown to be far from mere repetition of clairaudiently heard words as might be expressed by a 'platform medium' (working in front of a large audience).  A platform medium might hear a word incorrectly and a 'guide' might give a correction; in comparison as seen at one point in the video, after Paul whispers a word and is uncertain of what he said, he asks for clarification and then channels the answer without the usual preliminary whispering.  Throughout the 28-minute video, there is an interesting repetition of the utterance "you know" (a frequently heard expression with both subconscious utterances and EVP). 

Some of the declarations in the "Initial Discussion" of the book acknowledge the predicament of people now.  Experiencers and witnesses of transcendental communication and other forms of 'paranormal phenomena'—associated with 'miracles' and wonders throughout the ages—are messengers and thus a form of chosen or 'Christed' one.  Paul and "many others on the planet right now that are doing similar service" are intended to expand the spiritual awareness of people throughout the world.
 

If you can imagine that these are temples being built, these are pyramids being built, and the high frequency of the top of the pyramids links to create a grid, a matrix of consciousness that will become apparent . . .

Throughout the book statements elucidate the value for people to have expanded awareness of  human spirituality.
 

If you say to the universe, "I want to manifest myself as my own Divine Being, as my Christed Self, as my Higher Self embodied," however you want to decree it, you have to understand that you set in motion a process and once this process is begun, this process continues.  You may pause.  You may break.  You may wander away and you may wander back, but the evolution of your soul cannot stop itself from forward motion and you soul already knows that this is the key to your growth.

You have to take the actions that correspond to the intentions.  But that doesn't mean blind action.  It simply means staying conscious and present as your intention is set forth . . .


We also want you to understand that to make something manifest means to be responsible to it.  And that means that whatever you create becomes your creation to shepherd and to work with.  You do not call forth a new pattern without having to inhabit it.  But when you inhabit it, you actually have to take responsibility for yourself in the new patterning.


You have each decided already prior to incarnation that this would be the lifetime that you would manifest yourself fully in consciousness.  And while this has retained its memory in your being in a subtle way, many of you only now are waking up to this possibility through the actions of this text and the circumstances that led you to read it,  This chain of events has been in place for many years, and this is the time that the chain is opened and inclusive and everyone is coming to it.


The landscape that you exist in requires transformation.  You cannot be the new person standing in the old kitchen looking at the old pots and pans that cooked yesterday's dinner.  Everything is made new in Christ.  That is actually a promise of the Jesus teachings.  "Behold, I make things new."  This is a promise that you are now in as well.

Now the kitchen that you stand in with yesterday's pots are still there, but they will be perceived anew.


But the process of transformation and integration is a deep and profound one.  And this changes where you go and what you do.


And when you are in the Christ consciousness, that which you experience is transformed through the intention to witness the world with the eyes that benefit from the truth of the knowing that God is in everything and everyone and cannot be otherwise.


Now we will tell you, to discern something is not to judge it.  If I discern that this is not a movie that I will like, I am not saying, "That's a terrible movie."  If I am discerning that this is not the right teacher for me, or this is not the right class, or this is not the right job, I am discerning, I am not judging.


We want you to stay in your discernment.  To the extent that you don't, you give your authority away and that is a recipe for disaster.  You must stay in choice, and to stay in choice you must stay in discernment, otherwise how do you know what to do?  So we are not taking away discernment, we are simply telling you that to the extent that you judge your fellow man, you actually lower your own frequency.  And when you lower your own frequency, you fall out of alignment with the Christ vibration that you are now working in.  You can get back there.  You can raise your frequency.  But to the extent that you hold another in contempt or in judgement or as less than you, you deny them their own expression as the Christ.


We do not take up the time of men and women for the sake of entertainment.  We are past that.  We are here to support you in achieving your goal, and this is a large mission on an individual level.  And we also see that the benefits of this work have great implications for the consciousness of this planet.  So we do the work with you for a selfish intention.  We want to see the heralding of the Christ on this plane.  We want to see the Christ risen in all men, and that is a frequency, it is a light, it is an awareness of his divinity on this plane incarnate.  And we wish this for you in great love, great compassion, and the belief that this is so.


"Our Father" is the beginning of the Lord's Prayer.  "Our Father."  Think of this.  We are all one connection, born of the same frequency, born of the same energy that we can define or name as the Universe, God, the Creator, what have you.  "Our Father" signifies this truth.  Every religion will have this imprinted in its doctrine because it is a fact.  It does not belong to Christianity any more than it belongs to the pagan beliefs of the Goddess.  Everybody believes that there is One Source, ultimately, at the highest level.

Now we will not go into history and the beliefs in multiple Godheads for this treatise, only to say that above that level of multiple Gods there was always a Great Creator pulling the strings.  You can actually decide that God can be manifested in multiple ways and create a system of theology that will work very well.  And we tell you that the belief in the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit is an example of this.  But what that is really doing is codifying energetic frequencies and alignments and relationships to try to understand and differentiate the action of the spirit as it expressed in man and in universal truth.  That is what that is.


The conscious mind is working with all this information as it responds to this text.

Now on another level, your frequency, the frequency of the reader, is transforming in response to the information that suggests that they are in new shift.


You are being changed, but you are the changer and we are the catalyst for the change as we respond to you, the reader, who is undergoing a remarkable journey in energy shifts and frequency.

Here are some biographical details about Paul Selig from a page at his website.

Paul was born in New York City and received his master’s degree from Yale.  A spiritual experience in 1987 left him clairvoyant.  As a way to gain a context for what he was beginning to experience he studied a form of energy healing and began to “hear” for his clients.  Described as “a medium for the living,” Paul has the unique ability to step-into and “become” the people his clients ask about, often taking on their personalities and physical characteristics as he “hears” them telepathically.


Paul offers channeled workshops internationally.  He serves on the faculty of The Omega Institute, The Kripalu Center and the Esalen Institute.  Also a noted playwright and educator, he served on the faculty of NYU for over 25 years.  He directed the MFA in Creative Writing Program at Goddard College for many years, and he now serves on the college’s Board of Trustees.  He lives in New York City where he maintains a private practice as an intuitive and conducts frequent live-stream seminars.

 

11/3/18 Update: I noticed that on the evening of November 1, 2018 Paul Selig was a guest on the national radio show "Coast to Coast AM."  The following is the program summary that appeared at the program website.  There are no free videos of the broadcast available at You Tube because there is a membership fee of $6.95 per month required to listen to the "Past Shows Archive" as a "Coast Insider" subscriber.

 

Often referred to as the 'Psychic Professor,' Paul Selig experienced an awakening in 1987 that left him clairvoyant and able to channel guides from a higher level of consciousness.  In the latter half, he shared the latest insights from his spirit guides, who consider themselves to be teachers or "ascended masters," and have dictated a number of books through him.  In his work, Selig views himself as a "medium for the living," as he doesn't communicate with the dead, but rather is able to get impressions from those still with us.

One of the central tenets of his guides is the idea that the action of fear only claims more fear.  "They encourage us strongly not to be making choices from fear, and they say you can't be the light and hold another in darkness," he stated.  When you "claim the divine in another," he added, you can actually feel the energy field shift.  The guides have told him that everyone walks around with a "frame" around them and the purpose of the frame is to fulfill itself.  But the challenge for us, he pointed out, is that we self-identify with the frame when it's merely a concept.  During the last hour, Selig offered readings to callers, as he consulted with his guides. 

'The Nine' - Some Aspects of the Case for Reflection

Research group members studying the transcendental communication of 'the Nine' included "Star Trek" creator Gene Roddenberry.  One subject of instruction that he learned about was "colonizations by other civilizations from the Universe."

 
 

The Only Planet of Choice (1993) is a book of transcendental communication transcripts compiled by Phyllis V. Schlemmer and Palden Jenkins.  Phyllis was the trance medium (or 'channel') through whom spoke 'Tom' of 'the Council of Nine' (or 'the Nine').  In addition to Phyllis, key members of the research group were Andrija Puharich and Sir John Whitmore.  The case is a topic of previous blog articles.  (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)  The first edition was published in April 1993 with a revised edition in August of the same year.  The August edition is my source for this series of articles.  Tom's spoken comments encompass such topics as 'the Nine,' channeling, God and metaphysical aspects of life throughout the universe.  Concerning quoted passages in this article, first names of group members are included in the transcripts when they spoke their questions to 'Tom.'

As Tom offered other names that "I am . . ." (Tehuti, Hamarkos, Harenkar, Thomas, Atum), the question that needs to be asked if the possible names that could be given would be without limit.  The inclusion of 'Atum' provides a link with the ancient Egyptian 'Ennead.'

Tom uses the pronoun "we" intermittently as one notices with many other authentic cases of channeling.  When asked if 'the Nine' are of Phyllis's subconscious, Tom answered, "We are not of her subconscious: we come not from her."

The authors of The Only Planet of Choice appraised: "The quality of Tom's answers varies according to the character and psyche of the questioner."  The following is how Tom replied to John's statement, "I assume that the person who spoke through Blavatsky and Alice Bailey [both associated with the Theosophical Society in different eras] was the same person, known to us as 'the Tibetan,' Dhjwal Khul . . ."
 

Tom: That is not true.

John: Could you tell us who 'the Tibetan' is then?

Tom: We are trying to find a way of explaining.  If you have three people, who together create a  triangle, and if the three merge in mind, you would have a oneness.  The Tibetan is a triangle.  It is not a physical being.  The information comes from a triangle.

John: Is it of high quality?

Tom: Yes.  It is taking from three the perfect aspects of the Three.  Do you understand that?

John: Yes, I do.

Tom: The Tibetan was different to Blavatsky.

On one occasion, Miki observed to Tom that in some of his material she found contradictory sentences—"especially the information about Jesus"—and asked, "How is this possible?"

Tom: You understand that there are streams of reservoirs of knowledge, what you call collective unconscious?  In the seven planes surrounding earth, that in truth are nine, there are within each a portion of truth.  It is when you go into the ninth plane that you find the highest truth, and not all are capable in this point of their existence.

 

A chapter entitled "Aliens and Visitations" indicates that group members interacted with people offering information about conditions that today would be categorized as involving 'UFOlogy.' 

Guest: Can I ask if the current phenomenon we call 'crop circles' that are being formed in England are being created from outside Planet Earth?

Tom: That is so.  When anything takes place within your solar system, it is imprinted and then is manifested on Planet Earth.  [Tom related that authentic crop circles have stems that are "twirled" and unbroken.]


Brian: I wanted to ask some questions about a recent series of statements made in the United States concerning the presence of extraterrestrial vehicles in the Nevada area.  Is there any general comment you could make about the authenticity of these statements?

Tom: As many are aware, the reality of lesser civilisations in physicalness upon this planet Earth is a fact.  As they have technologies and information, do not create the mistake of believing their higher motivation at all times, in visiting your planet Earth.  A portion of this motivation is indeed prepared for utilising, if necessary, Earth species for their own environments, on their own planets.  Not all are here for the betterment of planet Earth, although there are those who do work for the betterment of planet Earth.  They have physical existence.

Brian: Are you saying that there is more than one group involved in the experiments at the Nevada test site?

Tom: There exists at this time a totality of twelve different groups - physical civilisations - that have come to planet Earth for investigation of the environment.  Not all are well-meaning.  The Council has said I must be clear to you.  Not all are creating experiments.


Tom: There are several purposes [for civilisations coming to Earth].  Those that have well-meaning are working for prevention of total destruction of Planet Earth, and to oversee humanity and the natural world and to, if necessary, prevent a totality of ending.  For in the ending of it, it would take so much time to start over again that it is not possible to start again.  The situation of Planet Earth also is that its destructiveness would then create an energy that then could effect other systems of the Universe.

There are those also who would wish to come here because they have begun the destruction of their own home physical planet and are looking for a place to relocate themselves.  Therefore they are experimenting upon humankind and animalkind for testing the available possibilities.

Brian: What will happen to the man who told us about this, will he be punished in some way?

Tom: As you know upon your planet Earth, the country of USA, has created a secret situation among its people that cannot be revealed - they have not revealed the facts.  Therefore all attempts will be made to create injustice to him.  If there comes a time upon your planet Earth when people function as a unified force against these philosophical beliefs that are not correct - such as destruction of truth-telling people - then people will involve themselves, and if enough people do so, they cannot punish all people.

Brian: Well, the alien vehicles operate by controlling gravity, it seems.

Tom: Which has to do with the discharge of magnetics.  It has to do with creating a magnetic field.  That is the discharge, when you release the magnetic.  When you function with the magnetic you draw all things to you.  When you know how to discharge then the propulsion is reversed.  To operate and release gravitational fields is related to magnetic fields.

The term 'magnetic' as used by Tom correlates with another case of cosmic transcendental communication — that of Partana Vegan as chronicled in Telah Speaks (1961), a subject of some previous articles (1, 2, 3).  The case mentions Partana having lived a previous life on Jupiter and Tom also speaks about this.

Tom: . . . When you speak about Planet Earth evolving, remember this, that all the souls that exist in the Universe have had, at one time or another, the necessity to manifest on the physical Planet Earth, for the lessons to be learned.

. . . it is in togetherness that Planet Earth will come out of its bondage.  With the help of us, the civilisations in service and the souls in service upon Planet Earth.
 
There are thousands of civilisations in service.  There are Twenty-Four that you would call the elders.


Elarthin is one of the Twenty-Four civilisations of high evolution, of one unity of mind, that has chosen to come at this time to the planet Earth.  Others on Planet Earth have come from different civilisations in the Universe - those from Hoova have come and have been implanted on three occasions.  Others have come from other civilisations.  And then there are some from civilsations not evolved to the same level as that of those with collective consciousness.
 
The origins of humankind did not evolve from the animals, from Earth matter.


Guest: Is one of the governments of Planet Earth working in conjunction with a group from another source, from Reticulum, which is 37 light years from Earth?

Tom: That is also within this galaxy.  There are government agencies upon this planet Earth that have awareness of other species within your galaxy.  There are many.  Those of Elarthin do not come from your galaxy, neither do we.

Your galaxy is like a division within a corporation within a mega-corporation.  Do not limit yourself or tie yourself to solar systems of your own galaxy.

 
It is noticeable how certain words and expressions recur throughout diverse cases of transcendental communication.  Some examples are the use of the word 'unit,' the plural 'peoples' to signify 'people' (already a plurality), three-time repetitions of the same word, analogies involving an oceanic ship or using the word 'mask' (1, 2), and words and metaphors to express the relation of humans to God such as every individual human having 'the immortal spark'.

One chapter in The Only Planet of Choice is about the topic phrased as that of 'the opposition.'  This word is explained by Tom to signify "the negative forces"/"the opposing forces."  The "opposition" is a complex analogy for unfortunate occurrences in life and a few of Tom's observations on this topic are included below.

Tom: The opposition does not adhere to laws.  They are what you would call the rule-breakers of the Universe.  They do not adhere to natural law, but there are natural laws that are in essence a form of discipline for those who exist upon Planet Earth.  They have been instituted in the Universe because they bring the greatest benefit to all, and because working with these rules is also a learning process for the soul.

 
. . . Your world is full of desire, greed and unbalanced emotions, and it is not difficult for these beings to upset the balance and trap souls, so that they then reincarnate over and over.  In the other worlds of the Universe they attempt to do the same, but it is only on Planet Earth they are able to accomplish this, because of its density, and the desires of humans.
 
You would like to know if they are the counterpart of us, is this not correct?
 
Andrew: Yes.
 
Tom: No, they are not the counterpart of us.  We are in the centre.  And we do not wish to sound as if we are perfect or if we are egotistical, but on either side of us there is the positive and the negative.  By this I mean there is the positive that is not balanced and the negative that is not balanced.  We are in the centre and we are balanced.  We are trying to bring those other forces into balance.  The opposition are not the counterpart of us.

 
Andrew: Well, I understand that one of the names of the leader of the opposition is Satan.  Is that correct?
 
Tom: May we say to you that the word that you have just spoken is a very powerful word, and it is unfortunate that people on your planet do not understand that the use of this word creates much difficulty for all that are around.  Nevertheless, it is true what you have said, it is the most horrible of all: the Beast.
 
Andrew: I see.  My real question was not really that, but what is the opposite of that Beast?
 
Tom: Do we not speak to you?  The Beast is in opposition to us, but it is not the counterpart of us, as an equal-and-opposite.  Remember that there is balance, and we are balance.  Also that you humans, within each of you, has all of the 'good' and all the 'evil'?
 
Do you know what causes 'Satan'?
 
Andrew: No, I have no idea, to me it's just a meaningless word.  I have no feeling for it.  You're telling me it really has meaning in the world?
 
Tom: It has great meaning because of the power of the word . . . It is the temptations of the world.
 
Andrew: That means for Earth specifically, or for the Universe?
 
Tom: The Universe.

 
There is a book offering a description of the history of the research group involved with 'Tom': Briefing For The Landing On Planet Earth (1979; available to read in a free Internet edition) by Stuart Holroyd (earlier title: Prelude to The Landing On Planet Earth 1977).  The book has a sobering intensity about the complicated sequence of events experienced by the research group.  Stuart mentions the "materialisation, dematerialisation, psychokinetic and teleportation events" that were witnessed and a significance here are the parallels with documented forms of seance room phenomena and cases with patterns of manifestation that are sometimes categorized as 'poltergeist' phenomena.  Transcript reiterations in the book, however, don't seem as careful or extensive in comparison to The Only Planet of Choice.  Coauthor Palden Jenkins commented about the book: "It has appeared in two subsequent editions, one compiled by Mary Bennett, and the other more recently derived from both earlier editions."

The first message to come from the source that became known as 'the Nine' to Andrija Puharich is chronicled in his 1974 case study of Uri Geller entitled Uri: A Journal of the Mystery of Uri Geller.  The following are the first three sentences of the first transcript with Dr. D. G. Vinod the unplanned, spontaneous 'channel.'

M calling: We are Nine Principles and Forces, personalities if you will, working in complete mutual implication. We are forces, and the nature of our work is to accentuate the positive, the evolutional, and the teleological aspects of existence.

 

This passage may remind one that in the chronicled life of Madame Blavatsky (a previous subject for this blog) her 'Master' often communicated through materialized letters (1, 2, 3) usually concluding with the initial 'M.'  Some of the previous articles at this blog are about discernible patterns in cases of 'paranormal' phenomena such as 'the Michael pattern' that is noticeable in such cases as Nostradamus, John Dee, the Fox Sisters associated with the Spiritualism Movement, Madame Blavatsky, Edgar Cayce, Guy and Edna Ballard, Leslie Flint, JZ Knight, Mark Probert, and the 'Messages from Michael' Ouija Board communication case.  In The Only Planet of Choice, one of the interview participants was 'Miki.'  The Archangel Michael is the archetype for an angelic Force interacting with mankind throughout the ages.  In Appendix One of Uri, presented by Andrija are some explanations of letter associations quoted from 'the Nine.'  Two of these letters ('CH') are noticeable as the last two letters of the author's last name while 'M' and 'R' are two of the identifications for communicators on some separate occasions among the transcripts presented in the book.

CH is a principle which is the revealing principle of knowledge and law,  CH is the principle of timeless knowledge as revealed through the time process.

R is the principle of art and rhythm.

M is the principle of the human and intimate.

Books about transcendental communication report that there are specific 'guides' involved with each individual person.  This correlates with the concept of the 'guardian angel' with Edgar Cayce being one of the mediums/channelers whose transcripts of trance sessions affirm the existence of 'guardian angels.'

When Tom was asked questions about other famous channeled entities on separate occasions, the source of the Seth materials channeled through Jane Roberts was declared to be "Her higher self . . . It comes from the reservoir of knowledge within her high self."  An inquiry about the psychic source 'Ramtha' (channeled through JZ Knight) brought from Tom a discourse on "the Twenty-Four civilizations that are in direct service to us."  Tom is quoted in the transcript: "If they had reached perfection, they would have merged with us . . . The members of the Council of Nine are not, and have never been, in physical form . . . Now if humans on Planet Earth have [psychic] communication with a helper or lesser civilization that does not understand the workings of all, then they are liable to receive misinterpretations."  Tom offered the following example.
 

Tom: . . . Example: in a corporation, there is the chairman of the board, there is the board of directors, and there are the departments within all the corporation.


So if one communicates with one department within their realm of understanding, they can speak on that but outside their realm they do not understand.  They can hold views which are valid only within their frame of reference.

Ramtha has spoken about Atlantis and Mu (or Lemuria) and here are some of Tom's comments about these ancient lands.
 

Tom: Atlantis ended 11,000 years ago (9,000 BC), and it began around 32,000 BC.   Part of the culture founded in Akisu migrated to form an extension civilisation.  What you call Atlantis was a colony which developed and which the Twenty-Four made contact with.  It was what you would call Atlantis, but this is not in truth correct.

Andrew: Yes, what did they call it themselves?  I'd like to get the true name.

Tom: They were in truth Alteans.  They were of the civilisation of Altea.  They then transferred technology.  From Atlantis other colonies went out and the knowledge and technology were taken too.

. . . They also attempted, through their scientific knowledge and understanding, to genetically exchange creatures with soul-beings on Planet Earth - through transplanting.

Do you know what we mean?  You are a soul are you not?  So if we then placed your head on a cow, would that not be an exchange of a soul for a non-human soul-body?  They were, because of their brilliance and knowledge, attempting to not merge with the thinking on Planet Earth, but they thought that by creating these characters and creatures they would perhaps have the strength of the creature, or the creature could be serving them, or they could develop a means for more physical pleasure.  And that was not balanced.

Palden: When did the culture of Mu begin?

Tom: It was approximately the same time as Atlantis, after the settlement of Atlantis and the developing of colonies in the treks outwards.  You know that the peoples of the Philippines are descendants of Mu, as those who live on islands in music-skirts . . .

In the time of Atlantis they began to experiment with new forms of sexuality in order to gain more power, for in their misjudgement and misunderstanding they believed that this was the secret of being what they called the God, and they wished to be in competition with the God and become the God.  In their foolishness they knew not that they were doing this.  It is important that humankind has this knowledge and information.

The dolphins have chosen to return, for they were humans at that time, and some were scientists: their choosing to return as porpoises or dolphins arose because they knew that in that form they could not make an error, for they did not have arms or legs - those appendages necessary for a soul to have in order for it to create goodness or non-goodness.  They cannot create again those scientific experiments which led to the destruction.

It is important to inform people about the truth of Atlantis because of the present energy-releasing in humankind.  People will then understand how they brought about devastation in times past when Altea existed upon Planet Earth.  Also they will come to understand why a great many at that time chose to be in the form of a porpoise.  This then opens up in humankind an internal knowing, and also creates the wish not to create those problems again.  But most important it explains the energies of desire, yes.

Similar with other books derived from channeled sources of information, The Only Planet of Choice motivates the reader to contemplate unfamiliar perspectives of existence.  When comparing different case study chronologies of channeled material over the course of many years, diverse metaphorical passages express similar metaphysical conditions while a range of perspectives on some subjects are noticeable in the articulated knowledge and understanding by the individual communicators/personalities/consciousness 'units' being expressed.  As I mentioned in a previous article about channeling: one can sometimes perceive how apparently contradictory statements can both be true — based upon circumstances or due to the basis of listeners' or readers' personal beliefs.  

Tom designated that there are additional civilizations to the 'Twenty-Four.'

If there were a landing that is not in good motivation, it would be negative in its outcome.  Remember this: by their works you shall know them.  In each situation you will know, for they cannot hide their attempts to gain authority and superiority.  They come not in gentleness, they come in superiority.

 
Tom repeatedly used the expression 'recycling' in relation to reincarnation:
 

But on Planet Earth souls become, because of the density, more physical, and when their physical bodies disintegrate into the Earth, the spirit of them has no desire to leave the planet - it has caused 'soul-recycling.'  And for many, each of the recyclings causes them to have more desire and enjoyment of more pleasures.

We have no objection to this, if in this method there would in truth evolve a balance, and if the nature of Planet Earth and its purpose were taught and assimilated.  When this recycling began, there were those from other planets that had the need to come to Earth, and so you have had population-explosions of entities coming in.


An example of one [the Twenty-Four physical civilizations] would be the civilisation of Altea, upon whom we depend - being in another realm of existence - for communicating with you: they guard the body of our medium while you are in communication with us, and they provide the technology for us to communicate.  Altea, the leader of this civilisation, was also the head of what you know as the physical civilisation of Atlantis.

'Ramtha' (through JZ Knight) has used the word 'recycling' when lecturing to explain the unseen bodies that belong to each individual: "So we are always recycling the lightbody, the infrared body, and the physical body, but we have yet to use the hidden bodies of the upper four realms." (from A Beginner's Guide to Creating Reality Third Edition 2004).

Here are some of Tom's comments about being a human living on Earth —
 

Know this: all the civilizations that are in conjunction with the Twenty-Four are in readiness to help.  It is time now for humankind to reduce competition with each other and to emerge as one unit of joy.  That will take time and effort and love.

But in the manifestation of your aliveness there must be those who are leaders and who bring out the best in others.  There are those who wish to be led, and to attempt to force them to accept a leader, when they do not have the environmental, physical, emotional or mental faculties to do so, puts them in a detrimental situation.

Therefore you humans must support each other, love each other, have respect, but be aware of those elements of humankind that are not in the highest state of evolution.  They serve their purpose also.  This does not mean that some are special and some are not.

There is not one that is better than the other.  It is important to understand that amongst all that exist upon Planet Earth, there is none which is in truth more superior or less equal.  When we say this, we speak of the soul.  And if you look within the soul, you will find that each soul is a particle of divinity.  While on the exterior, different people might not look equal, within their souls they are indeed equal.

 

. . . We wish you to know that a man, regardless of his background, has the feeling that a woman also has.  You cannot set aside a woman and say 'this is a woman' and a man, and say 'This is a man.'  For each is a woman and a man.  This has been the greatest difficulty - as it has been with people's attitude toward other people of other races.  It is only at this time that both reach true blending, and that is why we have requested that there is work in unison between males and females.

It is important to bring the ego into control, and to have the understanding that all others are equal. All humans have an equal claim. We cannot have ego and division in these next days: there must be cleansing within those that create the poison for all.  There must be the understanding that if there is difficulty in your societies, it creates difficulty for the cosmos.

There are no teachers, for all are students.  There is an exchange that is given, and when you give yourself, if it be your physical, mental or emotional nature, if you give out that energy to touch and expand to others, what you receive is a hundredfold.
 
That is the secret of growth, the secret of expansion: the willingness to give yourself completely without question.  But at the same time knowing not to give yourself to fools.  You know that there are upon Planet Earth those that you call fools?
 
They are there to see if you are willing to give yourself to a fool - that is their position.  Only one who is willful and forces his way forward gives to a fool.
 
We must tell you also that zeal is futile.  When you transfer what you know and become aggressive with this, and try to insist that others should understand and agree, you are then creating a problem for yourself.  You know who you are.  It is often beyond people's comprehension, or it can activate their fears.  You must be very careful to maintain balance and love and understanding.
 
You are not special - though in truth you are, but this does not remove responsibility from you or give you special accounts in the physical world.  There is no way that you can help others if you do not understand the joys, fears, sadness, despairs, loves and angers of the peoples that exist in the physical world.

There is not one soul on your planet that cannot be saved, if in truth it was handled properly with stability, maturity and love.  It is important to have love, and it is important to give love and to share love, and it is also important to realise that you are not a perfect being, neither is anyone: but each of you have within you qualities that, blended with the qualities of others, make a perfect being.

In times of past, leaders and teachers of Planet Earth felt that the mass of humankind were not capable of thinking for self.  At this time of the forwardness of Planet Earth, and the acceleration that has been intensified upon Planet Earth, even that which you would call knowing is being impregnated with the energy fields that are awakening the inner voice within.

The following transcript excerpt is from 1989 in relation to the conditions of pollution in the environment.
 

Andrew: You used an interesting phrase earlier, that "time is accelerating."  What's the real meaning of the acceleration of time?

Tom: If this planet Earth were to pursue its course in the way it is doing, without acceleration, then you know that that would bring destruction?

Tom divulged that simultaneously with the acceleration of time the situation is created "that this planet Earth becomes a light-space vehicle, and humankind will become suddenly aware.  It will be similar to the 'hundredth monkey effect' beginning."
 

When you understand who you are, then all that we are, the knowledge within us then may be transferred completely to you.

During another conversation, Tom is quoted:
 

When it reaches that point that the planet Earth - which in reality is a spaceship - is in perfection, and those that live upon it keep it in balance, the Twenty-Four civilisations will then be seen, and they would land visibly in their vehicles.

 
Environmental awareness is an important aspect of spiritual awareness so it is of great importance that the metaphysically knowledgeable and enlightened humans help expand the spiritual awareness of others.  Until any landing of our space brothers who may offer their help as a possibility mentioned by Tom in his capacity as 'spokesman for the Council of Nine' — "The peoples of Planet Earth must begin to take responsibility."  The recent environmental news has been disturbing.  Here in California, there are people working to improve the environment.  For example, the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority recently agreed to buy 95 electric buses and reduce transportation emissions (article).  However on the federal level, elected political leaders are currently involved in a "pushback against the Clean Air Act" (article).  On August 3, the NPR broadcast "Morning Edition" was one of many mainstream media reporting that this summer "The Gulf of Mexico's Dead Zone Is The Biggest Ever Seen" (article).  An August 11 Daily Mail article is "Even a 'minor' nuclear war would spur worldwide ecological disaster, expert warns" (article).

In one of the final transcripts presented in the book, Tom is quoted: "We each work in service together . . . It is important that those upon Planet Earth begin to work in harmony, in unison, in balance and in peace with each other . . . Remember this: we are all one with you.  We are you and you are us.  We exist on your energy of love."
