They call it Inter-spheric communication. They say it is an exchange of information in the form of thought between an embodied soul, and a soul that exists without physical form. You and I call it automatic writing, or channeled writing. The book “Journey Within” is a compilation of writings that I recorded using this process of automatic writing.
I started this online journal so that I could share some of the contents of that book, as well as some of the poetry which I recorded for another book called, “Always Rising”. I am still writing (recording), and I will be sharing some of my current writings here on this website. But first, please read this short introduction. This is how it began for me.
Introduction to Automatic Writing
This is from the book “Journey Within” where I recount my introduction to automatic writing.
“Whether dramatic, or traumatic, or both, major events in life have a very real potential to produce meaningful and permanent change. It was just such an event in my life that opened my eyes to a different reality. The reality was this – I was taking life for granted. I was taking other people for granted, and I was unable to see my own shortcomings. The comfortable little rut that I had created was about to cave in. Looking back, I got everything I deserved.
What I got was a wake-up call. My wife of nineteen years was unhappy with me, unhappy with our marriage, and she told me she wanted a divorce. Without going into too much detail, I can tell you that our relationship as husband and wife was beyond repair and the relationship ended quite abruptly.
It was a strange experience. I was shaken to the core. Yet it seemed as though this major life event was supposed to happen. It was a difficult time in my life. I was deeply depressed. Something inside me had to change or I would have continued on a downward spiral of self-pity and woe.
For some reason, I began talking to homeless people. They would be working their plot of street corner. I would pull up to a red light in my vehicle and ask them their name. If I had time, I would ask them what happened – how did they end up on the street? I think it was the third person I asked. He had a sign that read:
ANYTHING HELPS — GOD BLESS
I don’t remember his name, but I’ll never forget his story. It was short and to the point. He said his wife had left him, and everything in life went downhill after that. I thought for a moment. The light turned green. I gave the man a dollar, and he said “God bless you, sir” as I drove away.
The whole event lasted less than a minute, but for me, it was timeless. I started to look at what I was doing with my life, where I was going in life, and why. It was at this point that I made contact with an even greater reality. Call it a spark or an awakening or something else, but thoughts came to my mind that resonated within me, and I began to write about them. Things that I already believed in – like the presence of the soul, reincarnation, the golden rule, and the free will of the individual – took on distinct personalities, and very real voices of their own. I wrote down what I heard. This book is the product of what I heard.
The writings began as an outlet or a release for thoughts, feelings, and words that were inside me. They were choppy at first, and many times they were incoherent, but they were also personal. They had a quiet, calming nature to them, telling me that “everything is going to be alright.” The process became a daily practice – something I started to look forward to. I wrote before work and I wrote after work, sometimes well before daybreak, and into the small hours of the night. As time passed, the words came with greater frequency and fluidity, while an urgency to the communication also developed, a “let’s get on with it” type of an attitude. It soon became apparent that this work was my big mission in life and that I had made a vow before my birth to record this message.
Speaking to an Audience
The writings were random. Certain themes developed over time, but for the most part, there was no story line. My handwritten notes were outlined in the summer and fall of 2013 and I began to organize the writings on a computer at about the same time. This process was also guided or channeled, and it continued through the early spring of 2017 when the book went to press.
My name is Dan, but from the beginning, the voices I heard called me Stephen. There was a familiarity with the voices. It felt like they had all been here before and that all were participating in this project. Within the book, there is a continual reference to we, and us, and our, as if these personalities are here now (as human beings) speaking to an audience.
There are also dialogues between a narrator and fictional characters. These conversations are used as segues to topics that are explored within that specific section of the book. At other times the discussion is directed toward the thoughts of the reader. But the conversation, along with the text of the book (with one exception), emanates from these voices and not from me.”
There is a little more to the story than that, but that was my introduction to automatic writing.
About the Blog
There are seven categories on the blog, and there will be more, but the most frequent category is called “Writers Corner” also abbreviated as WC. In these posts, I describe what it is like (for me) to do automatic or channeled writing.
The messages I receive and record now, are posted under the heading of “Current Writings”.
The posts that are listed under the category of “Manifestation” talk about bringing your dreams to life.
“Poetry” is a category that contains poems from the book, “Always Rising”.
“Quotes From The Book” are just that, quotes from the book “Journey Within”.
“Time Travel” is a series that takes you on a personal journey through time.
“Vision Quest” are those posts that relate what it is like to write about events that I have seen in my thoughts (visions).
I will be posting more about my experience with automatic writing as often as I can. I hope you like it.
About the Book
There are several references to Journey Within scattered throughout this blog. There are quotes from the book that are either stated or highlighted. You will find them in the categories menu titled; “Quotes from the book”. The following is one of my favorite quotes about communication:
“The huge leaps forward continue. Look at how far we have come with this most versatile of tools – audio and video interactions that span thousands of miles, in real time. We have gone from grunting to gigabytes in a brief moment of eternity. How did this exponential growth happen? And what will our ability to communicate be like a hundred years from now? Let us look at the possibilities.”
That is part of an introduction to a chapter in the book about automatic writing. In that chapter, they (the voices) talk in detail about how this process of automatic writing works. It is really quite simple. Here is a sample of their style:
“This tuning in to the fine vibration, as one would tune the radio. Trying ever so desperately to receive that faint signal from a distant source. One need not move the radio to the base of the transmission tower to receive the message – however, the closer to the source, the clearer the signal.”
There is a link on every page with information regarding purchasing the book. In total, what they have to say is truly amazing.
If you like what you have read on this blog—feel free to share it with your friends.
