Trance Channeling - What It It Really

2012-01-25T17:35:00.000-10:00

Greetings, my name is Robert Shapiro and I am a Shaman, Mystic and Professional Trance Channel. I've been channeling for a great many years now and I have quite a few books out which you might be able to discover if you follow the links.

I want to talk a little bit today about what Trance Channeling really is. For one thing, that term is a misnomer. There's no real trance involved. What it is is an altered state.

For those of you who do TM or meditation or get into inspired states where you feel to do this or feel to say that - it's very similar.

Trance Channeling is really speaking with inspiration. In my case I feel an actual energy - something physical. Not something vague or something hard to understand but something that's actually physical.

In my case I also experience something where my ego steps out of the way. I do not need to edit what's coming out. I also allow as much of the beings personality and energy to pass through me so that others may experience a greater sense of that being's identity. What comes out comes out in an inspired state with energy. Many people who are sensitive feel the energy and many people who do not consider themselves to be sensitive, though they may be, often experience a relaxed state.

This is not intended to coerce anyone. It is not intended to change anyone's mind. It is simply another way of bringing forth knowledge, wisdom and inspiration that we can consider with thought and perhaps if you so choose even act on in various suggested ways.

If you check any of my books or my blogs you will see that a great deal is suggested and homework is given. If you go to You Tube you will find quite a bit of my channeling a being known as Grandfather.

I'm not going to wear you down with all the steps that were necessary to get to the point where I am now. It did take many years of fine tuning to create a one hundred percent clear contact. So those of you who may be struggling with this know that it's alright to take your time to get to the point where you are bringing through knowledge, wisdom, information and yes perhaps even energy that is clear and that you feel good about.

You'll know that you're moving towards clarity when you listen back to it and you hear one or more things that you didn't know. Trance Channeling is simply another way of experiencing benevolent energies spoken with personality through a physical human being who can, through training, pass this through in a most benevolent way.

Goodlife.

On Being A Shaman

2012-01-25T17:25:00.000-10:00

Why do I call myself a Shaman. I'll tell you why. I have been taught the manner and the means to do prayers, blessings - sometimes with a form of dance, other times with a form of what I call the holy language.

These are words and sounds which have very benevolent impact on all life forms. It is a language that precedes our times here on Earth and it only comes forth from me during the time of these dances.

I'm using the term - dance as a description of what I do at times but it is more like something you might see done in T'ai Chi for example, though there is motion forward - though very slow.

Also there are other reasons I use the term Shaman for myself. I have been taught how to do blessings, as I say, and how to say special prayers through years and years of training. One such form is the prayer blessing, I have also been taught this. This involves a great deal of benevolent energy which activates, supports, nurtures and can, when done in the exact, best and most benevolent way, transform all into a more gentle benevolent existence.

I have been taught how and when to use transformation gently and benevolently and I feel good about the results. Transformation can only be accomplished through the agreement of all. All must be served and the result must serve all benevolently.

All these things and more I have been taught and the most important thing I've been taught is that my job is to be of service and it is to that end that I dedicate myself.

So sometimes, as you know for those of you who have done these things, it's not just what you say but how you say it. You have to have certain intents - meaning that you have to have the feelings in your body that desire something for yourself, your friends, your family or more likely most of the time - for others.

You have to also have a sense of service to the global community and that community might encompass a great many beings, most of whom you don't really know personally and/or whom you'll never meet - so it requires a great deal of unconditional love.

I am not trying to say that this is something that others cannot do for I feel that we are all born with this unconditional love and we learn by our exposure to culture and those around us that we cannot always safely show this and in some situations we even forget how to demonstrate it but there are other situations where it comes out in ways that cannot be restricted.

Most parents know what that's like - to love a child even when they do something they're not supposed to - you still love them don't you? Of course you do.

I am suggesting that only as an example you understand - but it's true, it's real. Our dogs and cats and other pets love us unabashedly, unashamedly and we love them the same way even when they do things we wish they wouldn't.

It's this kind of love which is really necessary. A devotion to being in service of all the needs of all the beings that you can help.

As a Shaman one learns that one is always on call but of course you do have your needs. You'll need to eat, you'll need to sleep and you'll need to keep up your energy and strength as best you can.

There will be times when people will require your help. You will know because you will get a feeling - oh I need to say this or I need to do that.

I am not talking about something that is used to control people - never that. I'm not talking about something that is intended to be manipulative - never that. I am talking about something that functions through prayer, blessing and occasionally dance as I've referred to it that supports all life in the most benevolent way.

I am not trying to say that I am some wonderful being. I am saying that I have received this training and it is way to extensive to go into here but I am giving you the basics of the description that may fit other people who are identified as being Shaman or Shamans and in some cases there are other definitions but in time you will find those definitions here on Knol or other places but for now I felt it was important to give you a general idea of what a Shaman is according to my experience and perhaps also covering a little bit of the experience of others.

Goodlife.

On Being A Mystic

2012-01-25T17:19:00.000-10:00

When I say Mystic what do I mean by that as a job title? For those of you who have read my blogs - for example this one, or this one and the others you might discover - at least partly what I mean.

By Mystic I do not mean that I strive to keep the things that I have learned a secret. As a matter of fact it's just the opposite. I am doing my utmost to reveal with as much detail as possible the things I've learned and to the best of my ability teach you - at least those of you who are interested and wish to participate - how to apply them for yourselves in the most benevolent way.

Thus I feel that my use of the word mystic as part of my job title is really something that is intended to reveal the mystic rather than to maintain it in shadowed secrecy. I feel that there is a great deal of that that is done by others as well so I do not wish to stake a singular claim to this definition.

I am today however posting a little bit about what mystic means so that some of the cloud of doubt and confusion which seems to circulate even in authoritative places such as dictionaries can be clarified.

It is not necessary to claim the title of Mystic if you are enshrouding secrets. After all, a great many secrets are enshrouded for this or that reason and they don't necessarily have to do with anything shamanic or anything that has to do with natural mysteries. What I attempt to help you with and explain is to reveal the nature of life and its natural mysteries in a way that is not only palatable but also in a way that can be as easily understood as possible.

I know that the nature then of mysticism has been confused but if you examine any of my writings in my books or in my blogs such as you might find here or for example here you will discover that my identification with this word is entirely about revealing and it is my intention to continue to do so.

I will say this one last thing about being a Mystic. I encourage those of you who have knowledge and wisdom about things shamanic and things to do with the natural world of animals and yes - our natural born innate abilities that Creator has deemed to bless upon us, to speak about these matters.

It is possible now to help people to remember who they are, what they're doing here, why they're here and how they can access this knowledge and these capabilities within themselves. I have attempted to do this with my blogs and my books.

I know a great many of you out there have much to share as well. Please do so and in the course of that I wish you well.

Goodlife.

Robert Shapiro: Shaman, Mystic, Professional Trance Channel

2012-01-25T17:08:00.000-10:00

Greetings. I am a Mystical Man practicing in the world of shamanism and incorporating the wisdom from great spirit teachers whom I have channeled. Many of these teachers have been published in books that can be found on Amazon and other fine bookstores.

I have extensive training in interacting with energies and with life forms from the tiniest molecular to the largest beings even beyond our planet. It is possible with training, to interact with life forms in all ways that are benevolent. The key is keeping it benevolent for all beings, without exception.

As a Professional Trance Channel I have great appreciation for my publisher who has supported my work in books and magazine articles. I am presenting myself to you in this way because I want you to understand that the nature of my work is now greatly focused on the mystical. I am also committed to supporting all life in the most benevolent way through all the shamanic ways that are available to me.

I am hopeful that many of you will consider some of the things that I am publishing on blogs and that are published in the books as to whether they may be valuable in your life or even something to think about. It is my intention to do all I can to improve the quality of life for all peoples. On that note, I wish you a most benevolent good life.

Some Preparations For Doing True Magic

2011-04-05T02:41:00.000-10:00

Here is more about True Magic and also procedures to do it that I recommend:

Know that as a general rule of thumb, as people say, it's important to care about that which you are performing true magic for. This way you do not have any inner conflicts or feelings in conflict in your body with that which you are attempting to do. This could not only cause you to feel uncomfortable but it would generally impact the true magic so much that it may not do any good.

This is what I recommend. Go outside if you can and as always try not to wear shoes that are insulating you* - keeping your energy, you understand, from moving into the ground. If you need to wear shoes try to wear something that is made of a natural fiber - even leather, that's fine but not plastic or rubber - not an insulating material.

Then go out on the land someplace. And remember - always to go someplace where you feel safe including your own backyard if that is a place to feel safe but if you go out in the country or someplace else always do these things someplace where you have permission - that's important - so that you can feel safe and so that those who may have some claim to the land upon which you are standing will be comfortable with your presence.

It's always good to do true magic in a place where there is no conflict - outer or inner. This way it is more likely to work in the most benevolent way. You can of course wear insulating shoes to get there if you have to drive there or have to go in a vehicle of some sort but once you get there put on non-insulating shoes or go barefoot if you feel comfortable there and then stand out on the land.

*If it is cold where you are then wear what you must and when you say the words or make the motions do it slower and a little longer in the way that feels good to you. Those of you who've been doing this for a while will know how long to do things. If you are relatively new to it then hold each position perhaps an extra 30 seconds and when you're saying the words say them slowly. That will help if you're wearing insulating shoes.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
We face north because that is the direction where creation takes place and it is also the direction where the manifestation of what we are attempting to create begins to take place in our outer world as well as in our inner world.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
We turn to the left because that's the way the Earth turns and manifestation is then most likely to occur.

A Brief Reminder About Bilocation

2010-10-03T02:05:00.001-10:00

The process of achieving bilocation might use creative visualizations and/or meditations but the actual function of bilocation is purely an extension from your physical body utilizing your physical feelings to maintain a position in your present location plus the location to which you are bilocating.

It is something that is physical.

Goodlife.

Fine Points About Disentanglement

2010-10-03T00:57:00.002-10:00

Sometimes you will have a difficult time with your Disentanglement because you may have feelings around this or that situation or person, for example.

In that case I recommend you do the following as I have recently written to a friend who asked about it. The question was in regard to the list that one makes for Disentanglement and asks to be disentangled from this or that person, place or situation especially when dealing with things about which one might have very strong feelings.

Here is my response:

I recommend that when you do your Disentanglement that you do only one at a time and to do this Disentanglement once a day only.

Don't go on to the next one in your Disentanglement list until you can say the name of that one you have been doing in your daily Disentanglement and feel relaxed in your chest and solar plexus. Remember when you say the name of that one, to check and see how you feel in your physical body, to do this at least 4 to 6 hours after you have done your Disentanglement.

The reason I recommend now for you to do only one at a time is because things can be more challenging when we have strong feelings about someone or something.

Goodlife.

Changes In How I Post

2009-10-25T19:23:00.003-10:00

For a long time now I've been sharing the wisdom I have with you in print here on these blogs and even stories on the stories blog but now I find as I get older I'm going to have to do this in a way that's easier for me and doesn't tire me out quite so much eh :-) so I'm going to shift over completely to video which I've been planing for a long time.

You'll still see video on Explorer Race as you have been so that won't change very much and you'll still see that also on my You Tube BenevolentMagic site so that won't change either but as far as all the transcribed material, that which I have written and posted through the usual process but instead of thinking and typing I've recorded it and transcribed it and posted just in case you're interested, that's all got to stop now because it's too much for one person to do.

Anyway I'm just letting you know. Feel free to consult with these blogs. I may still post, from time to time a video on these blogs here or there so you can watch for that but I'm afraid you're going to have to say goodbye to the print version. Maybe you won't miss it that much.

When I put up video these days it will mostly be Grandfather channeling through me but who knows...maybe there will be other things too.

I just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed interacting with all of you and it's not totally goodbye but it will be different. So, just to let you know. I love you all. Goodnight and goodlife.

Disentanglement - A More Thorough Explanation

2009-03-06T00:14:00.000-10:00

Disentanglement Preamble:

I recommend that you do your Disentanglement process no more than once a day.

It is always best with Disentanglement that you are not touching another being while doing this.

I would recommend in most cases that you not even be touching a dog or a cat say, in case they happen to be sleeping on your bed but some cats or some dogs might be very spiritual. You might know this about them.

If that's true and you begin the process and they remain in contact with you then it may be alright. It depends on you and the individual dog or cat. If on the other hand they know it's not right for them they will probably move slightly or even off the bed. This will be alright.

Disentanglement Basic Process:

Lie on a flat surface on your back, hands by your side, palms down and slightly away from your body - preferably three hours after eating and before you go to sleep, but it works anywhere, anytime. Do not cross your legs or feet. This position allows you to become open and receptive.

Say out loud or whisper if necessary, "I am asking that Gold Light Beings and Light Beings who are compatible with the gold light or compatible with Gold Light Beings come now and disentangle me from all my discomforts and their causes."

Close your eyes and try not to think. If you notice that you are thinking just stop. Don't give yourself a hard time about it. Just stop and try to keep your mind blank. You can do this for about 20 minutes or as long as you feel to do it or until you fall asleep. The process will continue through your light stages of sleep in the most benevolent way for you since when you are falling asleep your Guide is always present to receive you on your souls journey's at the deeper level of sleep.

For the next few weeks make a list of every person, circumstance, event, place or thing in your life that makes you feel uncomfortable even in recollecting them or if their names come up in conversation by you or by others.

This is how to add it to the Disentanglement process. First make your initial statement as written above, "I am asking that Gold Light Beings and Light Beings who are compatible with the gold light or compatible with Gold Light Beings come now and disentangle me from all my discomforts and their causes."

Pause for about a minute or so. Then add 1 or 2, no more then that, items from your list that you have been making and say, "I am specifically asking that you disentangle me from..." (then add in one of those things. In the case of an event say as few words as possible never justifying, judging, arguing or adding anything other than the fewest words possible to describe that event. In the case of a person, just their name if you remember it. You may not and in that case a description of them in the simplest possible terms will be sufficient) "...and also from..." (and add in the other).

You don't have to say 2 things, you can just pick one if you like and as stated above do this for about 20 minutes or for as long as you feel to do it or until you fall asleep. Do each name or event or circumstance for 3 to 5 days, or until you feel comfortable when those names, places or events are brought up in conversation or in memory.

This process is intended to disconnect you from the conditioning and old tapes, as people say, from the past so that your life can feel more comfortable and with greater ease. Please also read the points listed directly below for further understanding of how this process works.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Further enlightenment on the Disentanglement process.

Speaks of Many Truths adds:

"You may notice that if you say those specific words or names during the course of your day, after you've done Disentanglement on them three or five times, you no longer feel as physically uncomfortable about them as you once did.

"This means the Disentanglement is working. The objective is to feel physically calm. Keep saying those specific words or names in your Disentanglement process until you feel physically calm when you or someone else happens to mention those words, names or events that once caused you to feel uneasy or uncomfortable. When you do, move on to other words or names on your list, never asking for more than one or two at a time."

Disentanglement: Disentangling Cords of Discomfort

The Spirit of Transformation:

I am the Spirit of Transformation. It is my intention to help you understand the meaning of Disentanglement as compared to its impact upon you. It is not my job to analyze it, but rather to help you to appreciate how it works.

Disentanglement is intended to extricate you from the uncomfortable ties that bind you to portions of your demonstrated personality, which for the most part have very little to do with who you actually are and who you will show yourself to be once Disentanglement is well under way. You might say that it performs a clarifying function, but clarity in your time is often associated with the mind. However, Disentanglement is more associated with the physical body, the feeling self, the spirit self, the inspirational self and the instinctual self.

I am coming through to speak tonight in order to provide to the reader the necessary understanding of the value of Disentanglement, because the value allows you to gently, without trauma, release the portions of yourself you have taken on that are your masks, which you have had to take on to survive in your culture, family or society. Disentanglement allows you to gradually, gently remove these masks while gradually, gently counterbalancing that removal as the weights and measures tilt toward balance.

You understand that Disentanglement allows this process to take place slowly, so that as the mask is gradually removed the feeling that is generated is one of the emerging natural personality you were born with.

This is directly connected to the essence of your true self, meaning that which bears the marks of your immortal personality. These are the marks by which you might be recognized by someone you never met in a given life because there is a familiarity, a sense of feeling exchanged between you and someone else.

A Simplified Version of Heart - Warmth

2009-02-28T14:48:00.002-10:00

Here's a new simplified version of the Heart - Warmth which is designed to help you to feel better when exposed to intensities of the day as your heart feeling physically warm will tend to shove out stuff that may have become attached to you including ideas and energies that are not supporting you or have to do with feelings and energies of others.

Also it is the foundation for instinctual work that I have discussed extensively on my two other main blogs Benevolent Magic and A Mystical Man's World and also perhaps on Explorer Race blog.

Heart - Warmth:

I recommend that you sit down in a comfortable chair in a quiet spot at a quiet time of the day. Turn off the ringer on the phone so you won't be disturbed and just ask for some quiet time from friends and family. Then put your hands on your heart area - just let them sit there and you may notice a feeling of warmth that is noticeable in or around your heart. Keep your hands there and let the feeling be present.

It might come up in some other part of your body - perhaps your stomach or your solar plexus - maybe someplace else. When you notice that feeling of warmth see if you can just go into it - don't think about it - just go into that physical feeling of warmth and see if you can feel it more. I recommend then that every day or every other day you try to have that experience of physical warmth in your body using the method I have described here.

If you do not notice the feeling of warmth keep trying for about 10 to 15 minutes and then relax. Wait a few days and try again.

My Intentions for Mystical Man Links

2008-11-01T14:41:00.000-10:00

Greetings. I'll be experimenting with this blog for a little while so you might see things come and go but ultimately my plan is to put up a established area that will allow you to migrate towards to learn more about any specific topic I may be expanding upon on my other blogs so there is one place specifically that co-ordinates to all.

Goodlife.
