Someone asked me what a channeled book is and I'd like to speak to that a bit. When I write from my own voice I write deeply from what I hear inside me. Most writers would claim that that is what they do whether they write fiction or non-fiction. When I was told by an intuitive to sit on my land and write because spirits living there had stories they wanted me to record, I stepped so far back from the request that I couldn't even entertain what he was asking me to do. When I decided, two years later, to take him up on it, this is how it happened. I sat with the tip of my pen facing the page and nothing came. I was just about to pack up when my pen started writing. Now this wasn't as if I was out of my body nor was it happening without my arm moving. But what did happen was I stepped out of my own way even going so far as to ask myself what was going on because although I could hear the words the way any writer hears them when she writes, the stories were not mine. I've read many channeled books over the years, Ramtha, Emmanuel, Voices from God, Oneness, etc. and I always wondered what it felt like. Then I had that experience and as much as I discuss it with some of my friends the more I get confused about the difference between imagination and honest channeling. All I can say is that when I wrote Voices from the Land, I did so upon a request from a man, an intuitive, I met in Santa Fe. These stories are not mine. They do not come from my voice or any book idea I would ever dream of. Has anyone else had an experience of channeling?
