Starting to run away as a girl, running away to NYC at age 17 with only a fanny pack, having a sense of a presence that she wasn’t alone, getting into college and telling no one of her experiences, and how spirituality took a back seat in college. She didn’t want to graduate so she did triple major, got a job in stock exchange but was miserable, then lost job and began to feel again a presence and sense of purpose.Gifts vs. magic, three companies, and focusing on the good She discusses how prayer sets in motion a turn of events, how we resist them but they are meant to happen. What are gifts, what is magic, reverse engineering success and visiting patterns that kept them in cycle. How Jeovanny Lopez founded three companies: Dignity University (empowering youth to thrive, use their voices, see themselves as the solution), Acid Love (raising funds to support women victims of acid attacks) and a coaching practice, to incubate space to create a year from inside out. How a mentor helped Jeovanny Lopez narrow down what angered her around the world is seeing people not living to their potential, since she has intuition on people’s potential. How we tend to focus on the bad, because of the way our brains are wired. The importance to focus more on good things.Manufacturing meaning, intention and free will, and The God Particle How experiences as woman and Latina shaped her, how acknowledging boundaries and values create a space where we can have mistakes and learn from them, realizing we are adding meaning to situations and then allow that meaning to run our day, then all these illusions and stories have won our day. The value of seeing people anew every day, approaching people with curiosity and interest instead of them showing up with who you say you are, when we become victims to circumstances, we forfeit power to transform them. The importance of intention, free will, how whatever you agree is true, principles will show in your reality, starting the day out with right intent, surrendering to the day, being the vessel and a channel. Plus, The God Particle. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

031 – Paul Selig – Psychic, Scribe, Human

Psychic readings and channeling texts… Paul Selig, psychic and award-winning author of channeled texts from Tarcher/Penguin (profile), Paul Selig offers channeled workshops internationally and serves on the faculty of The Omega Institute, joins Julie Chan for a conversation about his work as a psychic and author, the physical toll of the job, and his journey from spiritual awakening to the present. Selig holds a Master’s degree from Yale University and serves on the faculty of The Omega Institute, The Kripalu Center and the Esalen Institute. Also a noted playwright and educator, he served on the faculty of NYU for over 25 years. He directed the MFA in Creative Writing Program at Goddard College for many years, and he now serves on the college’s Board of Trustees. Recorded at MouthMedia Network studios, powered by Sennheiser.Beginning clairaudience, being like a radio, and taking care of oneself Selig describes how he started his journey in 1987 a year out of a Masters program at Yale, while working on an opera. How Gideons leave books in a drawer and he reached for a book, beginning a journey out of necessity, hearing a voice telling him to “get his act together”, and his beginning of a clairaudience. How Selig was an open conduit, and how he operated like a radio when he channels he flips the station a bit then has access to other info. When in 2009, after working with a group in his apartment, he began recording and transcribing what the guides delivered as books, with six so far, and how the books are transcripts of sessions and require virtually no editing. Taking care of oneself, and balance. The demands of travel and work, how he is missing the order, schedule, and community and finding the audience more transient. How his current pace and lifestyle is not sustainable, the guides are not tired when he’s tired, how he takes on the physical abilities and issues of those he channels, and how most have a lack of awareness of divinity in so many things, despite that all is holy. His hope is that if teaching continues it will result in a realization for all that can move the process forward. Revealing as a psychic, transient vs. truth, and the physical phenomena What it’s like to be in the field, revealing himself as a psychic, and how there was not as much pushback as he expected. How Chan was inspired by his story and being a psychic is not sexy—they are simply scribes. Being invited to channel at a research symposium of scholars and experts, and how that resulted in his book being published. Selig is not a good new-ager, how there are people showing up, transient vs. truth, and who his guides are. For Chan, channeling feels like vibrations, how channeling results in physical phenomena, how it is tangible and why that helps, and the reality that it is there to be felt.Working interdimensionally, the need for dialogue and research, and the limitations of language How the point of the teaching to realize what operates in a higher way, how he thoughts when stepping into other people that he was traveling, but really he was working interdimensionally, how the coordinate is a way to channel in, how health is changed by the connection to mind body and spirit, and health care is a band aid. A hypothesis of the need for a dialogue about energy and how it affects the mind and body having informed people who understand how the psychic world works, what can be researched, that more research can move things somewhere meaningful, and how there is no need to hide. We rely on a limited language we have inherited. The limitations of language, because when something unknown appears, we ask it its name instead of trying to name it from what we know. There may be another spectrum for us to access. We want everything to match what we have known historically. The tendency to commercialize things, and how humanity itself is on the verge of a leap. How Selig believes that telepathy will be more common in future generations. And what’s next. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
