One must believe.
Okay, go ahead and explain it away if you must. But when it persists, give in. It’s real. I love spending time in the Séance Room in Colby Memorial Temple. It’s been there since 1923. I’ve had many phenomenon circles to include transfiguration, channeling and table tipping, all to prove the continuity of life. I’ve been sitting twice monthly with various people for several months. The last couple of times I and another person saw many blue and white orbs in one area called the cabinet, which is where one sits, meditates and allows. To be considered true phenomenon, more than one person must see it. Backstory: One time during a phenomenon circle me and the whole group, except for the sitter, saw a blue iridescent outline of a diamond that showed itself in the mirror slightly behind and above the sitter. Blue orbs also filled the air. We celebrated! The other day while I was sitting, we all heard the knocking. I was in a light mediation. The two looking on discussed hearing footsteps behind them. Then came the muffled voices. I thought people were inside the temple. I came out of my mediation, opened the door and saw not a soul. That was amazing! There are many types of channeling. Psychic mediums are in a light channel when they give messages. While I was one of two looking on, I wondered if the sitter saw Spirit to include possibly guides in the front of them, received information from them and shared it with us. Is that channeling? Hmm. I am a certified medium, healer and teacher in the Camp and I don’t know all, so I called one of my phenomenon teachers and asked about the scenario. He shared an experience in his channeling class. One week everyone channeled; the next week he brought a stickpin with him and told students that he was going to stick them to be sure they were channeling. Not one person channeled for the whole class. At that point, I let him know he made my blog this week. Then there is trance channeling, which is when the medium, or sitter, steps aside to allow higher beings to come into their being, so that knowledge can be shared. During one of my sittings, I saw an illumined, white female Spirit. I could hear myself speaking and later was told I said: ‘Open your hands to receive healing.’ And then I asked if my hands had opened. I recalled feeling like they had. I was told they never moved. The ectoplasm was super thick the last time we sat. It is the hope that enough ectoplasm becomes available to manifest a Spirit. Ectoplasm comes from those in attendance, but mostly from the person sitting. Incidentally, transfiguration is when ectoplasm, which comes from the eyes, ears, and mouth, changes the sitters face. Everyone sees it. Back Backstory: Remember, looking for Bloody Mary in the bathroom mirror when you were a kid? I have to say I did become interested in physical phenomenon because I was intrigued. I became somewhat of a junkie, still am. But truly it is about connecting with other realms of existence. I think a lot of us do this when we dream – connect to other realms. You could have your own phenomenon circle in the place you reside. Have a regular sitting practice by candlelight or with the customary red light. I would sit in a room that has little or no light coming in. Say a prayer for the highest and best and wait. It might take a few sittings to build the energy. Keep with it. Happy Experiences!
