Q: I’m confused about channeling. How do I know whom I’m hearing and if it is really another being or just myself? I sometimes think I’m crazy when I hear a voice of guidance. If it is another being, how do I know if what it says is true? Another question: It seems that many people claim to be channeling famous teachers or spirits, and yet their answers about what to do and how to live are so different. How do I know who is right?

Let me take your questions in parts. First, my own experience is that there is spirit and it is accessible to you. I cannot prove that. In the end, it does not matter. The sincere seeker raises a question. An answer comes. Who is speaking is not as important as whether the answer is helpful, is congruent with your values, and offers insight beyond your prior understanding. It is wise not to get caught in asking, “Is it real?” The answer is real. Let go of the source.
