Channeling- A Different Kind of Art

When I bring up the word channeling to describe how I paint, write, or freestyle it’s not received with clarity.  Channeling is defined as the practice of professedly entering a meditative or trancelike state in order to convey messages from a spiritual guide.  Now I’m not naïve to the fact that the majority of people are fearful of spirits but why?  Why does an individual immediately go to thoughts of demons before angels?  I suppose movies like Poltergeist and Ouija boards have instilled a negative condonation ingrained in our psyche.  In addition to just the simple fear of the unknown, that it’s not tangible leaves humans feeling vulnerable.

I can state with certainty the only influence an evil entity has over you is the power you grant it.       I found this to be the case when I was suffering from massive depression.  My thoughts were flooded with juicy nuggets for them to gobble up and enter.  After a year of that a course correction ensued and I was able to understand the capability bestowed to a sentient life form on the Earth plane.  There was a subtle change in early October 2021.  My body was not reacting to drumming of doubt, I didn’t feel happy but at peace.  My meditations took front row as began to go beyond mind and body.

Even though I started meditating in 2008 I hadn’t been consistent.  Any little sound would throw me right back and it irritated the hell out of me.  Today that’s a non-issue due to practice something that yoga has instilled in me, it’s all just a practice.  Taking control of 22,000 breaths that used to be 100% involuntary has meshed science and spirit for me.  And an expression has made itself present.

For myself I really started to accept and understand about a year ago when I was freestyling to hip-hop in my basement.  I was looking down from behind this guy just going and then it hit me, that’s you!  To be out of body and conscious of it was an experience I can’t forget and it made me realize that ‘Steven’ was only one part of my higher self.  Instead of thinking about what I was going to sing about, I simply clear my mind now, pose, breathe, and let it happen. 

Then orbs started appearing, dancing and hovering over me; which even the hardest of my skeptic friends said, “yea, that’s not the projector.”  They’re not in every song but from time to time they make their presence known.  10ft away from 90in’s of screen is confronting and maybe half the people that come over aren’t comfortable when I leave them alone to go to the bathroom or check dinner.  They are concerned because that can’t explain the sights and the feeling, resulting in fear.  Fear that evil spirits will somehow bleed them or take over their body; two things I think they have never seen in reality but believe to be real. 

A good metaphor I’ve using to put their mind at ease is from the movie Constantine, starring Keanu Reeves and a young Shia.  In the picture they go a bar run by a man named Midnite who let’s all entities enter his house as long as they don’t get out of line.  Midnite understands the power he holds and respect will be restored.  Negative beings at times are not pushovers but they are always defeated if a soul agrees that they cannot be destroyed or bested unless they choose too.  The vibration contained in a human being is cut from the cloth or the Big Bang, either way you size it up.  So Super-Size me please! 

This a topic I cover in the new book, Thought Outlines the Vision Emotion Colors It In, which was half channeled I felt.  This is my 5th book and it was constructed differently then the others.  Before I would outline and feel the need to make chapters long but this work was not as much effort.  Instead I meditated and waited to receive the next chapter.  They were only 2 pages but as Tiffany, a yoga instructor of mine said, “It made me question everything.”  What a compliment to engage another with perspective that she hadn’t encountered was so welcoming.

The book continued to write itself per se and even my mother praised the work so she felt she couldn’t match it with an intro; something she did for the 4 others.  I added to the project by doing a YT video to correspond with each chapter for further explanation on the topic.  Because this work was partly channeled it helped me grasp the information better by explaining it on camera.  It all started when I awoke one morning and the title was blaring in my head.  But now I had made it tangible, real. 

The art continued to take a new from in paintings.  A subtle voice said, “I bet you could that.”  I had no intentions of selling my work to become a professional artist but to see what would come out.  And boy, did some magnificent sights visualize!  By shutting down ‘Steven’ (painting without intention, light, eyes, or thought) true expression has presented itself in a physical form.  The messages come through clearly and with every session I receive more understanding allowing ah-ha’s, got you, and thankyou’s to balance the uncertainty. 

I accept the work doesn’t talk to everyone but when it does it floors them.  “What’s with all the faces in the painting,” “oh, you can see them?”  Currently probably 3 out 10 receive the impressions but in baseball that’s an All-Star.  So yea, I’m taking another at-bat but it’s not me that paints these; a point I’ve failed to imprint on most, hence the article.  It’s a state I attend through breath and freeing the mind enabling a raising of the frequency opening dimensions that are stacked on top of each other.  The string is plucked in theory of 10 plus time.  And I remember to observe, bare witness, and scribe the expression in different forms.  That’s channeling.
