Exchange of Energy
I think I'll have to make Rush the official rock band of New World You. There is so much energy in the music and the lyrics often seem to be sorta Sethian, if you know what I mean. So let's start this with some appropriate music.

Ok, maybe that wasn't the kind of thing we think about when we think 'energy exchange' so I'll have to post a big long story now.
Ah yes - the good old basic energy exchange: not quite channeling, but still real enough. I will describe an interesting type of energy exchange that I participated in. One reason that I say it is interesting is because I handled both ends of the exchange. I have posted some of this before, in SethNet, but never the whole story.
I discovered the Seth material in 1979. At a certain point between that time and 1982 I was feeling discouraged and I felt that I needed some special help. I tried to contact a future version of myself because I thought that a future me would have a lot of answers, being so old and wise. I believed that I had made contact but I wasn't sure about what I needed; I just knew that I desperately needed something, so I sent what I was feeling in a kind of wordless communication. I received something back, but it was wordless as well.
Whatever it was, it did the trick, and I was able to go on with life.
(This is a picture of the Wizard in 1983, so now you know that I wasn't always old and ugly. It looks like I am trying to strangle the cat but I was just holding him still because he was trying to get away.)
Time passed. After 5 years, I stopped reading the Seth books, because you can only do so much with books and nobody else I knew was interested. I met some Christians and shared beliefs with them for another 5 years. I think what I liked about this particular group was that they believed in miracles, healings, and other manifestations of a greater power. I got married and divorced during that time.
I got married again and stopped hanging out with the Christians. They just seemed to be too judgmental and limited in their thinking.
More time passed. In July 2003, I hit the bottom of what I will call mid-life crisis. It was indeed a crisis!
Not to go into great detail here but just to say that I was fairly sure that there was nothing about life that interested me and I saw no future ahead. It had been 19 years since I stopped reading Seth, but I had made the material a part of my way of looking at things but I did not really think about it.
So, there I was, lying on the bed. I had been spending a lot of time doing that, just sort of drifting into a gray area and letting time pass. I was in a light trance state; I think I wanted to fade right out of the world and this seemed like a step in that direction. In that state, I was thinking, "What is there? What can I use? Where are the answers?" I did that for a number of days.
One day, I felt a communication and it said, "What about Seth? You've got Seth!" This communication carried a feeling-tone that I identified as being me in about July, 1981. I thought, "Yeah, what about the Seth books?"
I knew what this had to be and I was ashamed because I thought I had nothing to give in return but I sent something anyway. I didn't send words but sent a package of unspecified energy, thinking that my unconscious self would have a better idea of what might be useful whereas my outer-ego might just mess things up.
Seth! How had I forgotten about the Seth material? I hadn't really forgotten about it but had filed it away as being part of the past. How fitting that the past had come to me to remind me! I went and immediately ordered "The Nature of Personal Reality" online and had the book in a few days. After that, I ordered copies of all of the Seth books I had read before. Then I read some books that had not yet been published in 1984.
In short, I read a lot of Seth books, and it was like meeting old friends. This time, however, there were new roads where there had been none before. While I was searching online for Seth related stuff, I found SethNet in March, 2004, and the rest is history.
About 6 months later, I had a session with Kris, channeled by Serge Grandbois. Though I was fairly sure of what had happened, I still like to ask the Spirits, just to be sure. He said:
(From private session -8/21/2004, Krischronicles.com)
KRIS: You have consciously engaged in such a venture in a manner where most individuals only engage in this whilst in the deeper layers of sleep because their conscious perceptions would not allow this idea to truly exist, since most people consider the past to be over and done with.
DON: Yes, Seth said that the past still exists and that it can even be changed.
KRIS: Indeed. As you might also project a portion of your awareness into a potential future from which you would draw beneficial wisdom. Just like (when) you reached out to your younger past self, so the future older self also reached out to you as it's younger past self. There are always exchanges at those levels through the auspices of your inner self or source self or essence, that go by generally unnoticed by the overall populace. But they do exist, they are beneficial and can bring about greater fulfillment.
Well, Kris said I did it consciously but I would have to say 'semi-consciously' since I feel that I was in something of a trance state at the time. There is a bit of confusion there about past, present, and future me's and exactly which was contacting which but that is probably because I was imprecise in forming the questions.
So, this is the nature of the exchange: I provided something just when it was needed and the past me provided something, also just when it was needed most. We were both in bad spots and the exchange gave both of us a way to continue on with life. Before this happened, I was getting ready to fade out of reality - what word would be more appropriate than "disengage"? He also gave me something else that is pretty funny when you think about it.
In July, 1981, I became ill. I had a throat infection and then that went away. Afterwards, I had sores in the corners of my mouth. It was really irritating and I was even more irritated when my doctor told me that it was herpes simplex. I didn't believe him, (we'll soon see that he was wrong) and it went away after a while.
After the exchange in 2003, I started getting the same sores after an illness. I had a different doctor this time and he sent me to a dermatologist. The dermatologist looked at it, said that it was a fungal infection, and gave me some medicine for it, and that was that. So, maybe that was part of the exchange - I caught the infection from him and cured it when I had a better doctor?! Or maybe it's just one of those things you catch when you are depressed and your defenses are down? All the same, the timing is awfully 'coincidental'.
So, that was a nice little incident that helped me to prove to myself that you really can communicate with a past self in 'real time'. Let me mention a few other possibilities that are suggested. You can communicate with a probable future self, gaining information that will allow you to choose that probable future as your own. For this, you would do well to pick a desirable future, not one that leads to failure.
You might also communicate with a self in a probable present, one who followed a different path in the past, leading to a different present. You could compare notes. It should also be easier to develop abilities that this other self had than it would be to do it without such a self. Of course, you could just as easily have that benefit without the communications except that you would not know which abilities.
This isn't finished. I still feel the young Wizard's presence. I may have helped him once but his basic issue is still, in the past, unresolved. He wants his future to be better than his present. He wants nothing less than a new world, and he wants it now. I don't think that is so unreasonable; we all deserve to realize a certain degree of fulfillment. The problem with him is that he's not likely to be satisfied with anything superficial. Now where can I find a New world? I feel that I owe him something of the sort. He is the source of what idealism I have. I have decided to help make it easier to find paths into a new better world. So, how do I do that?
