An experience to share

[Author of The Hidden Truth]

When I was writing, The Hidden Truth: A logical path through compelling evidence to discover the nature of reality and the meaning of life, the topics I had intended to cover changed as I better understood the complexity of the goal I was striving to achieve. Some esoteric topics dropped out, and some other areas I had originally considered to be “too esoteric” were later reconsidered and eventually found to be essential to my final thesis. The topic of channeling and spirit communications would fall under the latter category.

I considered the topic to be very fun reading as I had conducted my ten-year research project that eventually led to the development of my book. The area in which I was conflicted, however, was the question of whether the topic could be presented in a sufficiently scientific light so that I could do justice to the genre as a valid means of receiving higher-level knowledge without seeming to pander. I knew there was important information available from the genre for my book’s goal, but I did not want that information to be dismissed out-of-hand by a closed-minded skeptic simply because I had failed to present enough hard evidence to take the field seriously. Despite ten years of research, I initially felt inadequate to the task. And so, I asked for guidance during meditation.

I’ll have to admit here, I have no (as far as I know) ability to channel divine knowledge from the other side and while I have experienced inspiration as all humans have, and some small level of premonition from time-to-time, I would not consider myself to be sensitive to these arts. Still, compared to the other eight chapters in my book (1-7, & 10), chapters 8 and 9, which discussed spiritual guidance received from channeling, were inexplicably the fastest and easiest to write. Let me describe my process a little further.

I would sit down at my computer, allow myself to relax and asked God/the universe for assistance in the task facing me. The assistance was not for myself. The assistance was so that I could pass along a message that would be considered to be valid, even by skeptics, so the topic needed scientific backing, smart word choices, and keen insight on the genre that was likely more than I could bring on my own accord. For the next few hours, during each day I worked on these two chapters, I basically ‘zoned out’ as I typed. The words that flowed were, in my opinion, more eloquent than I was normally capable of producing on my own, and the topics were covered with sufficient scientific detail as I had hoped. It almost seemed as if I woke up at the end of the typing sessions and wondered how I had produced the work that lay before me. I cannot say that I can channel spiritual knowledge or engage in automatic writing, but something odd certainly occurred as I typed those two chapters.

I’d be interested in hearing the readers’ opinions of this experience. Could it be a valid, first-hand channeling experience, or was it simply a self-induced hypnotic trance that allowed me to achieve that which I had convinced myself I needed for the purpose before me? Interested readers are invited to peruse for free the first five chapters of my book at www.thehiddentruth.us to see my writing style and understand the high level of scientific proof I had demanded of myself in this work. As soon as it is published, approximately at the beginning of autumn 2012, I would be interested in hearing as well if the readers would agree that those two chapters (8-9) are qualitatively different (better or otherwise) than the rest of the book. It was certainly an interesting first-hand experience, and has made me curious about exploring future opportunities to reach out to the other side.
