Some of Julie’s early work in channel from 1985 where Micciah discusses:
• What is channeling? How is it done? What level of energy does Micciah represent and how does that energy come through Julie? View Section
• How does the power of language work, and how can we make that power work for us? What is expressed in the nature of the human voice. What is the link between sound and healing? View Section
• The nature of responsibility.... “participation.” View Section
• Micciah asks us to meditate on our “song.” View Section

(The original video was very deteriorated, a VHS dub has been used over most of it to make it viewable.)

   Micciah:  We greet you all, dear friends.

   Julie:  We do greet you, indeed.  This is Micciah Channel, and I’m Julie Winter.  Micciah is an energy entity who works with me while I’m in trance,  and while I’m in the trance state I have access to a point of view that seems to come from a non-physical realm.  This series of programs is drawn primarily from videotapes taken during my regular classes.  We want to expand our circle, and include your energy and interest in our work.
   The issues for this evening are:
   What is channeling in the way that I do it?  How is it done?  And what level of energy does Micciah represent and how does that energy come through me?
   The second question, or issue: How does the power of language work, and how can we make that power work for us?  What is expressed in the nature of the human voice, of our ordinary voices, what do our voices reflect about our personalities? 
   And what is the link between sound and healing?

   ----------

   Micciah: We greet you. Who are “we”?
   All energy is really on a continuum. Even apparently solid objects, or beings, are spacious. What you call channeling has been done in some way in virtually every culture end every group since the beginning of linear time. Linear time does not really exist, but it appears to exist. Yes? When the personal self dissolves itself or moves aside, as it does is many kinds of activity, in signing, in painting, in meditating. In all activities where there is a deep penetration into the absolute of the moment, the totality of the moment — in all of those activities, there is a kind of channeling, which means, really, there is an influx, a flowing, of energy that is representative of a different vibrational level than the personality. And we are not downgrading the personality. The personality is necessary. Now, in a case such as this, in an example such as this, the connection is made when this one’s energy field, shifts its vibrational level, its mode, and in so doing contacts the vibrational mode, or an element of that mode, which is a non-physical realm. All of the realms interpenetrate. The physical world, which is where you consciously imagine that life is lived, the arena of physical life as perceived in your culture, the arena, that is the physical realm. There are many, many other realms that do not represent themselves in physical form.
    Now, at the level of the personal mind, this is a very irritating concept, yes? The mind grabs at it and misses, so don’t worry for a moment about that. When the connection is made, when “this one,” Valanatia, Julie, shifts her level of energy and interpenetrates with this particular realm, which is a realm of teaching, the effect, as she utilizes it, is that she receives and is aware of impressions, ideas, concepts, vistas that are intended to illuminate, — how not to be stuck in words that only represent light — that open your understanding. It is playful, it is ecstatic, it is sacred, it is ordinary, it is part of physical life that is always available. So, she connects to this realm and we are here to serve you, to play with you, and it is a great joy to do that.
    In other cultures, this realm was accessed through trance states, through prayer, through dancing. Now, within the totality of our realm, “this one” connects with some of it, not all of it, as if there were, oh, many many points, so to speak, of connection, and she makes some of them and sometimes makes them more clearly than others. This is an analogy. So she is, because of her temperament and her training, very adept at some areas of communication and not at others. And within the totality of the realm that we represent only certain things are available. You would have to find another realm, locate another realm, to get other kinds of impressions.
    There are many different kinds of ways to touch a realm. And the realms, remember, interpenetrate. Yes? They are all interpenetrating, and through the energy of the connection you pluck different aspects together. Can anyone channel? Well, yes. It would not necessarily take this form. This is just a form! It is a form the way a part of a dance is a part of a dance. And the purpose of it is love and is to enhance what you know is available, is possible.
    You have asked about the nature of the power of language. Sound itself is one of the great healing energies. Everything is vibration, and every vibration has a sound, although not necessarily an audible sound. The language you speak is a limited language. There are some languages which were designed as conscious languages. Sanskrit, some elements of the old Hebrew, and those languages as spoken, combined with the flexibility, the mobility, the range, and the texture of the voice, those languages carried vast geographies of meaning. Truly, they implied time elements and they implied complex subtleties that better revealed the true nature of reality. English is quite flat.
    Now, on your earth, at present, even among the languages that are currently used, there are very wide temperamental varieties of expressivity. Chinese is spoken with different dimensions of the voice.
    All language... Each language, deals with a mode of expressivity. To become conscious of language, to really experience that it is sacred, will shift all the underpinnings of your relationship to life. We don’t want you to be self-conscious, though, you know. The resonances set im motion when you speak, you know, in the most ordinary sense, voices have a characteristic quality; temperaments are reflected in the voice tone. In the Chinese method of assessing the wellness of the body and the character of the person, there are different kinds of voices, referring to the tone. There are singing voices, and sighing voices, and crying voices. And when someone begins to change, and to grow, and to open, their voices change. Where does the voice come from? It comes from the heart center. The voice is connected with your soul. It is the daily sound of your soul, singing itself. And the way you use language and your voice shapes your whole perception. You can close your perceptions very tightly through a consistent, unconscious use of language.
    Sounding, the use of the voice placed in different centers, in the different energy centers of the body, the different chakras, is a very powerful tool for healing. And when you speak what you wish, when the energy of your voice and the shape of your words is backed by the intention of your heart, that is very powerful indeed. Now there are also inaudible sounds. As we have said before, the organs in your body have sound, and you can listen with your inner ears to your body sing. The cells have sounds: cancerous cells will sound different from cells that are healthy. In being aware of the voice and the words, of taking the time to have that reflect your most inner being, you will change everything. If you think of the language by which you are surrounded. (We are not criticizing. We are noticing.) It is a language of manipulation. If you think of advertising, for instance (much of it, not all of it) of the journals, of the newspapers, of your news on television. It is a language of manipulation. And war. And it has a puncturing quality, yes? And intrusive quality. And the songs in that selling — this is very interesting — the sacred songs have to do with buying, with a seduction into acquisition. And the language of the news: the news, often delivered as entertainment, is bloody. It is a language of violation, and it is very often language that is used to mask the heart, not to tell the truth, not to be truthful.
    Well, fine, then we will talk about responsibility. You misunderstand responsibility. Speaking of language, see if you can invent another word. And you who are watching in the larger circle, you play with us. See? This will be a quiz show! You are too attached, or too wired to the notion of responsibility as guilt and as blame. So what it evokes, immediately, the sculpture of that word, the architecture of that word, the geography of it, pulls on your nervous system in a way that really is not useful. It would be closer to say that you “participate.” If all of the energy is only one energy, everywhere, all the realms, all the galaxies, everything — which is really no thing, no thing, nothing — if it is all one thing, no thing, one no thing as your physicists are beginning to describe now in the contemporary mode, everything is part of everything else, then you are participating. You must distinguish also between participation and let us say, direct causation. At the most limited level of the personal self you have ordinary free movement, yes? And you can cause something to happen in the physical world, yes? [Moves bracelet along the floor] That caused that to happen. One apparently physical object — stay conscious, don’t go away — one apparently physical object can impact on another physical object.
    But what happens in the body with disease? Hell, when you say someone is responsible for creating a cancer in his or her body, it is heard too often as blame. “Aha! See what you did? Stupid.” And then real hatred is injected toward the self and its activities. Then it is no longer possible to encompass with compassion the moment of life. So, you are participating. And the great element here, in this realm, as we have said before, is choice. So when you choose to be with compassion, and to be compassionate about where you are not compassionate, then that has a quality which has an energy, yes(?) and a sound, albeit a non-physical sound. And that moves with every other being who is part of you, that is part of the Great One; and out of the totality of it, when it reaches a certain level, so to speak, the effect emerges in circumstances. So out of many, many people beginning with themselves, being in the heart, coming from the heart, that then is a great song, or an inaudible sound, love, or peacefulness, compassion. And when there is enough of it, it will emerge into the audible sounds, so to speak, the physical circumstance of a peaceful world.
    So you are all participating in all of it, all the time. And those unloved — this is important — those unloved and unloving portions of the self participate in their song in whatever on the earth is unloved and unloving. You think when you don’t love yourself that’s all right, yes? But it all makes the song. Do you understand the analogy? All the unloved and unloving portions of experience singing together. And when they sing enough, then the circumstances you meet in the world are that song. So then it in very clear: life is not about being important. Yes.
    So, that is enough. When you are all here, it is a very beautiful song. And its energy, its quality, goes out everywhere, yes? All of you here, all of you watching, meditate during the week on your song.
    We will leave you now. We share with you much energy and love. And we bid you a very good evening.

   Julie:  That’s all for the moment. At the end of class we discuss the information that Micciah has shared and talk about how to use it in ordinary life since all of this information was given to be used.
   Several final words. The thread that runs through my work of, which the channeling is one aspect, is healing. So, the thread of healing goes through my work with individuals, my teaching, my lecturing, my writing. And that healing, I believe, comes from a truthful exploration of one’s relationship with spirit. Spirit heals through us, and that healing enables us to be with the sacred nature of everyday life. I urge you to use your prayers and meditations toward experiencing the joy and sacred nature of life itself.
