Devotion & Discernment

Dante: Hey—thanks again for being here, everybody. Outside of this space, I normally go by Dante. I’ve been channeling for six—seven?—years now.

My spiritual journey really began with meditation, psychedelics, and yoga. These were my first connections with energy and altered states of consciousness. I had deep experiences right away, and I learned about combining meditation with psychedelics. This helped me start to feel, Okay—these chakra centers, these states of peace and Unconditional Love that I hadn’t experienced before—there’s something real here.

I was pretty skeptical at first. This began when I was about nineteen or twenty years old. I dropped out of school to go to yoga training. The first yoga studio where I taught offered Reiki trainings and yoga/Reiki classes. I was offered a Reiki training as a work exchange, and everything changed very quickly. I gained an awareness of subtle energy and of animism: that everything is alive and has consciousness, and that we are able to communicate, or at least transmit. At that time, it wasn’t really communication as much as sensing energy, feeling life force, and working with the life-force energy in everything.

Quickly, I started having visions—or, more accurately, strong feelings while other people were having visions. I sensed something much bigger was happening. I left on a one-way ticket to Mexico. I became dedicated to this instantly. Before that, I had been in the grip of addiction, and my parents were deep in addiction as well. I knew I needed a different kind of life.

I landed in a metaphysical hippie town in Guatemala, met my teachers, lived with one of them, and attended weekly cacao ceremonies with the other. They did readings; I sat in on those, worked through student workbooks, and kept opening my world to the information that was there. One teacher focused on emotional processing and release work—how to tap higher-frequency energies and bring those energies into the parts of ourselves holding negative beliefs, trauma, and stored pain.

Honestly, this is the process of a whole incarnation. We think, Okay, now that we’re doing healing, if we really focus, it will get better fast. I’m still in this work. But I quickly reached a place where I could guide others to a certain capacity, and I’ve continued to do so since.

Channeling didn’t open right away, though a lot of insight came from channeled beings and entities. My teachers were deep students of Bashar, Seth, and Abraham—some of the first sources that introduced me to channeled material. Those ideas circulated, and my teachers invited me to teach classes and workshops early on. Information would come to me, and I would feel a strong sensation as I shared it. That was my first channeling experience: the download. Energy would be downloaded; I would say it; and something in the room would shift. The way people held their energy changed.

At first that was funny, then exciting. I considered it channeling, but I wasn’t seeing a specific being. So I asked for one. I listened to transmissions from other channeled beings, going deeper into those states as I listened. We have to tune our energy to that state of consciousness—Unconditional Love, excitement, passion, love frequency. When we’re at that level and ask for a guide, we receive one.

Another core of the work was letting go of negative beliefs and thought-forms—bad programming that had been installed. That’s vital, because beings on the other side can only access us through our own minds. They work with our belief systems and with our internal databank of metaphors and experiences. They highlight these things in the mind and tell stories using what is already within us.

This is where people get confused and think, I’m just making it up. We’re told certain things about imagination: it’s cute to have an imaginary friend until we’re five, and then we go to school and can’t take the imaginary friend with us. We’re told deliberate lies, like Santa Claus, because it’s cute, and then told, “Oh no—that isn’t real.” We get an inkling of connection to invisible realms through fairy tales, but we learn it’s just fantasy.

So it’s a big leap for many people. My students often struggle to accept the power of imagination—not as a fantasy-generator, but as another sense perception. In imagination, we have every sense we have in waking life, but at another level: sight, touch, taste, smell, hearing, all mirrored inwardly. We just haven’t been cultured to give those inner senses power.

Can anyone channel? Absolutely—at different levels of capacity. Some are naturally more open; others less so. But everyone can contact guides and learn to use intuition and imagination to transform their lives. We have to learn to trust ourselves, to trust our “supposed” imagination, and to suspend doubt long enough to be carried into a different state.

Channeling requires a channeling state. Some channels are trance channels who go so deep they often don’t remember it. For me, and for others, it’s something like an active form of hypnosis or meditation. In that flow, it’s as if my personality steps aside and something else comes in. Is it me? Not “me” as this personality—but it is me in the same sense that Source is me. The guides are my other lifetimes, so they are me in that sense, though I don’t personally identify with other lifetimes. It still comes through this personality.

I also speak with the beings in my head and receive information. Unless I’m in deep meditation, the conversation isn’t as elaborate as it is during live channeling, but I still get responses and feel energy. It’s part of me, but not the same as the personality speaking now.

They’ll explain it better—but that’s the human-level foundation, a good ground for anyone interested in seeing what’s possible.

Any questions?

Q&A with Dante — Pre-Channeling

Community Participant: When you connect or channel, do you feel different body sensations? Do you feel the shift?

Dante: Yeah. It can feel like a current of energy running through my body, but what I usually notice first is the crown chakra. I have to get into a space where whatever is going on here dissipates and it becomes a clear channel. I can get the same sensation through meditation—a kind of clearing. There can be a buzz coming through as well.

Community Participant: Can it be involuntary as well as voluntary?

Dante: Sometimes the downloading part is involuntary. I can be daydreaming, walking, washing dishes—and then, Oh, okay. I received something from them. But I don’t necessarily start channeling right away. I won’t suddenly, mid-conversation, start bringing a message from them.

Community Participant: If you’re meditating and suddenly it’s not just a thought—it’s channeling—do you see it as exterior stimulus?

Dante: I don’t know if it’s exterior. Everything is here and now. We can see guides and God as “out there,” but nothing is really out there. You aren’t even out there; I experience your energy in my body just by focusing on you. So they’re not outside me. I can’t see them as outside. The signal might come from “outside,” but the reception happens inside. It’s a pure internal experience, even if the signal originates elsewhere.

Community Participant: And voluntary versus involuntary?

Dante: I can shut it off. I can stop. Someone with schizophrenia may have a gate open that they can’t close; for most people, if they open this, they can close it. In my early years of contact, I could see visions all the time—beings around me—which was exhausting. I asked my guides to dial it down and give me only what was relevant. I had asked to be the most psychic, the most visionary, and they said, “Okay.” Then I said, “Thanks, I want something different now.”

Community Participant: If you’re focused on something else, can the information wait?

Dante: Yes. I can pick it up again. Sometimes a lot comes in first, laying a foundation for more to be built on later.

The Pleiadian Council — Address

Pleiadian Council: Hello, and we say a fantastic day to each and every one of you. We thank you for allowing this transmission to take place, for it is a gift to us in the same way it is a gift for you. We open to exchange energy and information, and we benefit from this as well, for it allows us to see into your world, serve the beings we reach out to, and deepen connection with Source.

We hope you allow this to bring you into deeper connection with your own Higher Self and with Source. We appreciate this.

We come to your world—as do many other beings who are part of a galactic alliance. While channeling is a tool used to meet many non-physical beings, we are somewhere in between; we are quasi-physical. We can be in physical reality when we wish, and non-physical when we wish. We are what you might call extraterrestrial. You sometimes see us in ships as the phenomena called UFOs—now often called UAPs, or unidentified aerial phenomena. We are present in your world and have been for quite some time. We aim to support you in your spiritual evolution.

You exist in an experience that seems entirely physical, yet parts of you exist on higher-dimensional planes. When you tap into channeling, the energy comes from what you know as your Higher Self—the foundation of your soul, one with Source and always present. It is the “you” that existed before birth and the “you” that remains after departing this reality. In its deep connection with Source—what many call God—it carries the complete frequency of Source. In your reality, this expresses as Unconditional Love. As you live in that frequency, you come to know Source and bring Source into your reality. This act is one such instance, and you are all empowered to do the same, if you choose.

We describe the easiest way with a formula shared by others in your reality:

Act upon your highest excitement, to the best of your ability, without insisting on a particular outcome.

This three-step formula is infallible in raising your frequency and accelerating your evolution. No flaw; it is perfect.

Act upon your highest excitement: bring awareness into the heart center. See all possibilities, and let the frequency resonant with excitement, love, and joy guide your next action. Many of you have been habituated to respond from fear and from mental constructs of “good” and “bad,” which pulls you away from intuition.

To the best of your ability: let the mind do its clearest work. Open to all internal and external resources to enact what the heart guides. Bow your head to your heart. Bring the mind fully on board with the heart’s guidance. When mind and heart unify, hesitation dissolves.

Without insisting on an outcome: notice attachment to expectations and release the grasping. Expectation itself isn’t the issue; attachment is. “No expectations” can invite depression; expectation motivates risk. Learn the difference. Attachment says, If I don’t get this, everything is meaningless; I have failed; I am unworthy. Erase those false definitions and be present with your heart’s guidance.

Whatever happens, you arrive in a new now. New pathways open. Let intuition guide you. Mistakes are lessons; “failure” is a story. Integrate the lesson, and you won’t repeat the mistake in the same way. You might learn half a lesson and repeat part of it until it is complete; when it is integrated, it dissolves.

This interpretation of the present moment aligns you with your Higher Self and your soul’s evolution—not only for you, but for all beings. We do not come merely because we enjoy it, though we do, nor merely because it benefits you. We serve the evolution of all reality.

This evolution opens your intuitive gifts: channeling, healing, readings. Raise your frequency. Fill life with Unconditional Love. Become a clear channel. When you remember the universe is built out of love and rest into the feather-bed of that love, information arrives when needed.

Our thanks. In which ways may we support you at this moment of your time?

Q&A with the Pleiadian Council

Community Participant: Could you give me an example of loosening up?

Pleiadian Council: You have to expand your awareness into your body. Notice a belief, and then notice: what sensation does that belief generate? When you focus on this belief and all of its threading thought-forms, where do you feel energy and sensation in your body? Is it pleasant or unpleasant? Does it make you feel more empowered, or more trapped? Does it make you feel more connected to others, or does it make you judge them?

These are all things to question when you investigate the validity of a belief. In a way, every belief is valid, so validity isn’t the right word. We would say frequency: is it a connective, positive frequency? Or is it a negative, constricting frequency?

So you have to go to the level of sensation and emotion. This will show you that even if a belief is something you’ve practiced for a long time, it may be harmful—because you can experience that harm in the moment. By accepting and understanding this, you can then come to faith and embrace the power of choice and free will.

You have to develop your belief in free will, and then you have to develop your belief in your own capacity to use free will to change beliefs. You change beliefs by focusing on oppositional thought-forms and belief structures. If your belief is “I am unworthy,” you have to focus on the belief “I am worthy.” Then you have to look at all the evidence that affirms you: all the ways in which you are worthy.

You have to focus on that evidence sufficiently enough that the positive sensations of self-worth and self-love flood through your body. And you have to do this regularly enough that you can maintain this more often than you maintain the negative beliefs and their associated sensations.

So it is this level of self-awareness: the conviction that you are a being of change, the conviction that you have the capacity to change with total free will, and the persistence to continue until you have made the change.

Community Participant: Thank you. Yes. Okay, my question is: having received this energy, how best do I throw it out to others?

Pleiadian Council: What would make you feel the most excited to share this energy with others? In which way do you feel personally inclined to share this energy with others? What would make your heart feel most expanded?

Community Participant: Okay, yeah, that’s good. Yes.

Pleiadian Council: That is why there are so many different channels, so many different religions, and so many different kinds of beings out there—because you are all unique, and the Universe, as Unconditional Love, wants to express through you in a unique way.

As long as it feels loving and expansive for you, that is the right way of doing it.

Community Participant: Yeah, that’s kind of my philosophy anyway.

Pleiadian Council: Great. We agree.

Community Participant: How do I use the energetic tools to help me accelerate awareness of the beliefs I’m holding?

Pleiadian Council: One way is meditation: focusing simply on the sensations in your body and learning how to refocus on body awareness and experience, while essentially ignoring the thinking mind.

When you bring your focus entirely to the level of body and heart, and away from the thinking mind, the thinking mind will inevitably have to deconstruct itself.

The other method is to use the thinking mind itself. Most of you will find that you have to do a fair amount of both of these things, in varying proportions for varying individuals.

This process would be what you might consider journaling. You might want to work with a specific prompt, such as: Describe what you’re feeling now. Then describe what thought-form follows. Where did that feeling come from? What story is it based upon?

Then look at that story—and, as we did with a very simple example, find the literal opposite. Find the literal opposite and write that out.

So again, with the example, “I am not worthy,” you go to “I am worthy.” Then, in looking for evidence, write out all the stories you can come up with that would prove to you that, in this case, you are worthy.

You’ll have to do this with your own personal belief systems. When you can write out and see, in a concrete way, the evidence for a positive belief, your mind will gradually come to integrate and accept that new belief and attitude.

Community Participant: Thank you.

Pleiadian Council: Yes. And of course, this has to be done in conjunction with that formula, which is based upon practical action steps that amplify your own energy of excitement and passion. Because if you don’t have that energy flowing through you, you don’t have the energy to heal and transform. It comes from Source energy, and Source energy is accessed through what you love.
