Channeled thoughts are available to all. For that is the form they come in. The confusion between the mind and a channel is simple. The mind allows your own judgment and ideas to enter, while a divine message from the inner self enters untainted from the thought of the ego. You may feel a different presence or may even hear a different voice than yours. There may be a sense of male or female energy accompanying the channeling. This may be your spirit guide relaying a message through the higher self.
