Spiritual Helpers, Angels and Guides ~ 33
after a particularly funny bout of spiritual acrobats, I asked him the obvious question.
“Why are you leaping and jumping through space? Am I sup-
posed to be learning something from this?”
His answer came in a wave of energy. Like the river and wind
from my young days on the Mohawk Trail, I felt a soothing ripple
of energy move through me. He then sent me wave after wave of
gentle yet stimulating energy. I felt lulled into a hypnotic peaceful mood.
“This is what the spirit realm feels like” I heard him say. “I want to teach you how to move in these currents of vibration.”
I then felt my spirit lifted along an invisible current. It felt a bit like lying of a raft in the ocean. In this flow of energy vibration I was able to easily access and connect with nonphysical streams
of energy information. For a few months I practiced releasing my
spirit into these vibrant cosmic streams. As I did this I became
adept at learning how to find, retrieve and with Techyouwatchyu’s
guidance, interpret and understand the energy information that I
received.
Just as I was feeling more competent and enjoying this newly
acquired skill it abruptly changed. Another spirit guide made his
presence known and took me to my next level of development.
The Elder
The next spirit guide, that came forward to assist me in my emer-
gence as a medium, was the Elder. I first met him when I was a
teenager. I was in my basement sorting clothes and doing laundry
when I became overwhelmingly tired. I sat down on an old couch,
closed my eyes and felt as if I was being pulled inward. I couldn’t resist the inner force of energy. Somewhat like a dream that I had
no control over, a rush of energy swiftly moved me through an
inner space. Suddenly in my mind’s eye, the image of an older man
appeared. He was dressed in white and there was a golden glow sur-

rounding him. With authority and kindness he spoke to me for sev-
eral minutes. Then abruptly, I was wide awake again. Even though
I could not remember what he said, I knew that it was significant.
This happened two other times. Each experience was similar. Pulled
inward by an incredible force, I heard him speak and then just as
abruptly I was again in a normal state of consciousness. Once I was out of this trance like state I could not remember what was said.
As I was meditating in my art studio several years after our last
encounter, his unmistakable presence suddenly reappeared in a soft
inner vision. Instead of being pulled inward, he gently spoke to me.
He told me his name was the Elder and that he was going to be
working with me. Even though I was a bit confused by his sudden
re-entry into my life, I wanted to know him better. After my enjoy-
able sessions with Techyouwatchyu I was ready for an entertaining
interaction. However what happened could not have been further
from what I expected.
Channeling
In preparation to communicate with the Elder, I went to my media-
tion spot. I began to breathe, calm my mind and get into a receptive state. However, I was jolted out of my relaxed state by an influx of energy entering my body. I was suddenly uncomfortable with my
posture. I realized that I was not sitting up straight. I lifted up my head, sat taller and stretched out a bit. My body felt tight and I was aware of myself in a new way. I felt confident and self-assured, feelings that at that time I was not used to. I was both detached and
at the same time accurately aware and sensitive. New perceptions
began to emerge. In a surprising insight I realized that being an artist might not be my purpose. I felt a fear of working with others
lurking in my mind and heart that I had not been aware of. Yet my
apprehensions now felt silly. Ready to more fully engage with oth-
ers, I felt a renewed sense of devotion to developing spiritually and as a medium.
