Arayu - serving as a bridge between science and spirituality Topics Introduction - Peace 11/27/06 Our first channeled topic was in a remote mountain cabin Carol and I frequented. It was without running water, heated by wood which one needed to cut, and accessed via foot by backpacking. We loved the cabin and especially the area around it because Nature had totally reclaimed it, and it provided complete immersion in the company of the devas and animals and plants and minerals. Even the rocks had their stories, which they shared freely with Carol. We delighted in being away from electricity, phones, the internet, and all the acoutrements of society which appease the mind but tend to clutter the clarity of space required by the spirit seeking peace. The transmission was slow but deliberate that evening, and we were introduced to the “master of ceremonies” , Nathaniel, who would preside through the first 17 topics, after which another guide would preside. Nathaniel’s purpose seemed to be to direct the project, assemble the key speakers, and make salient remarks as to the course of action to follow as well as the purpose of the Topics. He served the role of the modern day producer, who is chief organizer and quality control/artistic director on all levels. One of the aspects of Carol’s ability to channel is that, unlike many other channels, she has had no specific guide, entity or conglomerate of energies which has directed her. She has tapped into many streams of consciousness from myriad galaxies of light, all of whom have a specific vibrational frequency and require a concentrated focus for the connection to them to remain stable. Very often she will receive images of them, which can be very comical, such as the devas who portray themselves as silly charicatures, or the Divine Masters who have experienced earthly lives and so may don a human appearance, to distant Beings of Light whose form could be long, wispy and columnar and appearing more like light than anything akin to human form. Carol’s lack of affiliation with a “main guide” may be due to her ability to process a wide bandwith of frequencies, instead of just a specific “channel”, which may account for there, on many ocassions, being numerous entities or energies clamoring and lining up to share their perspectives. This has forced her to be extremely diligent and critical about who she allows through. Her screening process allows through the portal only those beings and energies which serve the Highest Purpose. No tricksters allowed. And there are many disincarnate entities, Pranksters we call them, who would be more than happy to share their skewed version of reality, or fantasy, with anyone who would care to listen. Not having a physical form and the ability to communicate from other realms of existence is no guarantee of the quality of knowledge or level of wisdom. There is as wide a variation of soul devolopment in other dimensions as there is on our third dimensional earth - which is quite diverse indeed!
