# Channeling > Channeling is the state of being fully present in what you are doing where information flows by resonance the personality is a channeled projection and distinct sources pass through a collective filter that protects the audience - Canonical: https://sassani.app/topic/channeling # Channeling *A seated creator tuning many signals into one open page* Channeling, in Bashar's teaching, is not the special province of trance mediums. It is the state of being fully present in what you are doing — the singer lost in the song, the actor who becomes the role, anyone for whom time drops away while the work deepens. From that grounded premise the linked transcripts build a precise model: information flows by resonance, the personality itself is a channeled projection of the larger being, distinct sources pass through a collective filter that protects the audience, and what feels like an external presence is always also the channel's own higher mind wearing a recognizable mask. ## The channeling state is ordinary presence, deepened The channeling state is simply the state of being fully here, fully present in the immediate experience of the moment, so that what you explore sinks in deeply. Bashar insists everyone has this ability — the singer lost in the song, the actor who becomes the character, the moment of blending and expansion that comes from really living your joy in the present, is a channeling state. It can be experienced subtly or profoundly, depending on what serves. > — What Is The Channeling State Channeling Other Consciousness (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/what-is-the-channeling-state-channeling-other-consciousness) This reframes channeling as an everyday capacity rather than an exotic technique. The question "how do I raise my vibration in my channeling" is answered first not with a method but with a clarification of physics: information you receive for yourself arrives telepathically and instantly, while translating it for another only becomes relevant when the other asks. > — How Can I Raise My Vibration In My Channelling (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/how-can-i-raise-my-vibration-in-my-channelling) ## The personality itself is a channeled projection The mechanics-of-channeling session opens with a reminder that re-orients the whole subject. Your personality — the person you see in the mirror — is itself a channeled entity, an artificial, limited projection of the much larger being you actually are. Channeling, then, is something you already do constantly; the only question is what frequency you tune to and what you allow through. > — The Mechanics Of Channeling (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/the-mechanics-of-channeling) That session also gives the circuit image. Information that exists in the fabric of existence encounters the collective consensus reality agreement first; that filter blocks whatever the consensus considers inappropriate to receive, preventing information from spilling into your society in a way that would bypass the processes you have agreed to experience. > — The Mechanics Of Channeling (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/the-mechanics-of-channeling) ## The protective layer is built in. ## The other questioner as ground A precise piece of mechanics appears in the vibration-in-channeling exchange. When you channel only for yourself, information is instantaneous and telepathic. But translation for another requires the other to ask — the questioner outside you acts as a ground that draws the information and energy through you, which makes it easier for you to get out of the way. > — How Can I Raise My Vibration In My Channelling (qa-2), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/how-can-i-raise-my-vibration-in-my-channelling) This is why serving as a channel in dialogue often feels clearer than trying to translate alone: the question completes a circuit. ## The entity as a mask for the higher mind The most disorienting claim in the corpus is also the most consistent: a channeled presence is always also your own creation. The being you experience as "outside" is experienced that way because you create your version of them out of your own energy — the only way you can experience anyone else is by constructing them from your own consciousness. The session on the mask says it directly: what we are doing is providing a mask for your own higher mind. You are having a conversation with your own higher mind, disguised in the mask of "us" because you currently believe it is outside you. You are talking to yourself. > — As A Mask For The Higher mind Communication (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/as-a-mask-for-the-higher-mind-communication) This is not a denial of the other being's reality; Bashar notes that the presence may not always be specifically him — it might be the vibration of his reality, or someone else from his reality — but it will always also be you. > — As A Mask For The Higher mind Communication (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/as-a-mask-for-the-higher-mind-communication) ## Connections to other beings are often your own Oversoul A complementary teaching reframes the hunger to contact extraterrestrial or dimensional beings. In both channeling and in making connections to other dimensional or extraterrestrial beings, not always, but more often than not, you are actually connecting with another version of your own Oversoul. That is very common. > — When Connecting To Other Consciousness It Is Usually Part Of Your Oversoul (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/when-connecting-to-other-consciousness-it-is-usually-p-7aa0d90b) The implication is practical: do not assume a "foreign" contact is foreign. Many of the most striking connections are recognitions of a larger self. ## Bashar's end of the circuit On his own side of the link, Bashar describes a physical setup, not a mental effort. He leans back against a wall in his scout ship; the wall gives way to a supportive reclining system that puts him into a state of vibrational repose, which keys in and amplifies all the connections and linkages needed to allow the channeling to progress. He is then ensconced in the center of his own higher mind, physically represented in the ship itself — their ships are solidified higher minds. > — How Bashar Prepares For The Channeling Session (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/how-bashar-prepares-for-the-channeling-session) The image underscores the model: channeling is an alignment, not a forcing. ## Practical implications Treat presence — being fully here in what you are doing — as the entry point to channeling, not a special trance state. > — What Is The Channeling State Channeling Other Consciousness (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/what-is-the-channeling-state-channeling-other-consciousness) If you receive information for yourself, expect it to be immediate and telepathic. If you want to translate it for another, let the other's question ground the circuit. > — How Can I Raise My Vibration In My Channelling (qa-2), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/how-can-i-raise-my-vibration-in-my-channelling) Recognize that the personality you call yourself is already a channeled projection of a larger being; this makes channeling an extension of what you already do, not a new capacity. > — The Mechanics Of Channeling (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/the-mechanics-of-channeling) When a presence feels external, remember it is always also your own higher mind wearing a mask; discernment still matters, but the experience is not proof of an autonomous outside source. > — As A Mask For The Higher mind Communication (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/as-a-mask-for-the-higher-mind-communication) Many connections to "other" beings turn out to be connections with another version of your own Oversoul — let that possibility inform your interpretation. > — When Connecting To Other Consciousness It Is Usually Part Of Your Oversoul (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/when-connecting-to-other-consciousness-it-is-usually-p-7aa0d90b) These are framing distinctions, not directions to pursue channeling as a practice or to defer to channeled material over your own discernment. ## Representative passages Channeling is a natural state that all of you do from time to time. It's just that state when you're doing what you love to do. You don't notice the passage of time … The singer who's lost in the song, the actor who becomes the character, that moment in a sense of blending, of being more, of really living your joy in that moment, living in the present, that's a channeling state.— Bashar, When someone outside of you asks the question through you, the information and energy passes through you to them. They act as a ground to bring the information through you so that you can perhaps more easily get out of the way.— Bashar, What we are doing in that sense is providing a mask for your own higher mind. You're having a conversation with your own higher mind, but you're disguising it in the mask of us to make it easier for you to have a conversation with it because you now believe it's outside of you. But you're talking to yourself right now.— Bashar, I lean back against the wall, and the wall gives way to turn into a supportive reclining system. It puts me into a state of vibrational repose that keys in and amplifies all the connections and vibrational linkages needed to allow the channeling to progress. I am then ensconced in the center of my own higher mind, physically represented in the ship itself.— Bashar, ## Related - [Presence](https://sassani.app/topic/presence) - [Higher Mind](https://sassani.app/topic/higher-mind) - [Excitement](https://sassani.app/topic/excitement) - [Oversoul](https://sassani.app/topic/oversoul) - [Consciousness](https://sassani.app/topic/consciousness) Markdown twin of https://sassani.app/topic/channeling.
