I recently attended a channeling course where one of the students claimed he was braided with a higher dimensional being. He said it started when he was young while in the hospital recovering from anesthesia or a coma. They apparently jointly share consciousness and act as a team. I could feel how extraordinary and wonderful the braided entity was, she seemed to have immense power, perception, humor and mischievousness. They channeled the most amazing entities: Mother Earth, Father Sky and the Goddess of Love. I know it sounds bazaar, but the personalities, energies and presence seemed obviously different from each other and the answers that were provided were truly phenomenal and consistent with each channeled entity. I wish I could have recorded it to share with you all. We spent several days together, which I extremely enjoyed and valued.
The benefits of a braided union to the human individual is that he/she is able to experience and know higher dimensional truths while in human form. If I was offered such an arrangement by a loving and divine being, I think I would gladly accept. I don’t believe my soul would allow for such a possibility if it was not for my overall higher good and aligned with my earthly purpose. You may want to explore this some more if the dream returns. Also, I was told that a braided union is rare, typically a complete walk-in (soul transfer) arrangement is the norm in that I guess the human individual has had enough and decides to swap and return to a spiritual plane.
BTW, regarding channeling classes, both Emily Bowe http://indigohealinginstitute.org/ and Betsy Morgan http://askbetsymorgan.com/ offer them in Albuquerque. Emily also offers them at some other cities and is potentially willing to travel to facilitate a workshop. Betsy has authored some great books on learning how to channel which you can find on her website. I intend to share more of my experiences about channeling, in time.
