Transmission: These fearful thoughts are not yours. As you move through this time of turmoil, we are surrounding you in blessing.
As you move through this process, know that both sides of this argument are fighting for an old story. Know that something new - a new story and a new world - is being born.

fear is the most compelling emotion - and more capable than love in motivating reaction, which is action without thought, without consideration, without freedom.
This morning, after days of flopping about like a fish on a wooden bridge, I woke from a dream and the guides began to speak. I recorded these notes into my cell phone at 4 am. It’s a long one, rich and layered, as the guides had much to say. So grab a warm beverage and dive in and I’ll meet you in the comments and chat ❤️🙏

The Guides say:
Your leaders, teachers, politicians, and other influencers gain power by generating a compelling story around themselves. When that story is built around fear, it seems even more important, more urgent that you respond, react and participate. This is because fear is the most compelling emotion - and more capable than love in motivating reaction, which is action without thought, without consideration, without freedom.
In truth, nothing is more powerful than Love - but when a fearful story is repeated over and over, you may begin to enter a kind of trance - a state of unreality inside of which what is not real seems real. From this state, as if hypnotized, you take actions which, though they make perfect sense inside of the illusion, might not be actions you would choose to take, if you were free. When you believe that the fearful story is real, you do things which create the conditions of the fearful story.
This must be understood. When you act from inside of the fearful story, you are not free. You are compelled by the fearful story and it is creating itself as real through you.1
The more fearful the story the more compelling it can feel, the more difficult it will seem to break free. Yet awakening is easy. As simple as opening your eyes - and so, we are here today to offer guidance to help you move through this time with the least harm. We are here to offer our hand and guide you across the bridge of awakening to a new world.
Television creates a generative trance, magnifying all stories. When a fearful story gets hold of a large group of people all feel the tidal pull, as more and more people are pulled into the illusion. Some join the tide to support the fearful story. Others come to argue and defend the belief system they believe in. This is not new. This is how evolution happens. As you move through this process, as both sides fight for their story, something new - a new story and a new world - is being born.
Right now, all are crossing through a layer of conditioning and fear, as if you were swimming in a sea of plastic debris, discarded into a wide deep ocean that touches every shore. This layer, congested with the fearful thoughts of others, cannot harm you but it may distract you. As you pass through this layer, do what you can to stay connected to Love.
Allow the debris to flow by without attaching your attention to any of it. None of these thoughts belongs to you. None of these thoughts need be followed.
If a thought becomes compelling to you and you find yourself following it, do not not dismay. For even as you catch yourself following that thought, you are waking up again.
We have given Amy, the suggestion that she watch as little television as possible and instead, to walk outside in the natural world. This will automatically reset and re-calibrate her state of being, making it much easier to release residual (old) stories of suffering in the days to come. We have suggested that she release into our care all of the precious notebooks filled with the loss and love and memory. It is time to walk into new stories now it is time to live again.
You are almost there. Know that you are capable now of easily and quickly releasing any thought no matter how compelling. Trust that all is well. Know that we are here with you and surrounding you with blessing.
For the past few days, the guides have been leading me from book to book, dream to dream. In each of these landing spots, there is teaching on these same themes. As these teachings support my own journey through the layers of confusion and fear, I’m sharing them here to support your way.
This is from the book, Project 369: Evolved Consciousness, The Key to the Universe.
“You attract the state you are in, not the state you want. Since this is law, you cannot now and never will manifest the results of a state you are not in.
“Everyone operates in a different state of consciousness (belief system). The beliefs through which one views the world are the same beliefs that create their world. Some people are aware of this, and others are not.
“Many have fallen into the trap of identifying themselves with the self that is limited to their current belief system, without realizing that deep within them lies a self that transcends all limitations and beliefs.
“You see, your infinite self simply sees what is – without judgment, reason or logic – whereas your limited self tries to define what is, through reason, logic and judgment.
“The limited ever-changing self has no option but to see things in this way because it has been programmed through past experiences. In contrast, our changeless self, which is unconditioned and eternal, has the ability to change, revalue, expand an even wipe this program out completely.” — page 6
Holding the guides message alongside the teaching from 369 (above), I ask questions and listen for response.
What do the guides mean by Television creates a generative trance? The word Generative means: “relating to or capable of production or reproduction.”3 The word trance refers to "a half-conscious state characterized by an absence of response to external stimuli, typically as induced by hypnosis or entered by a medium.” The guides are saying that watching television can generate (create) a half-conscious state in viewers. This half-conscious state makes us suggestible to marketing and political messages, as if we were being hypnotized. (There are libraries filled with research on this matter. For a quick overview, see the Fast Company article in footnotes.)
We create reality from the state we are in. What does this mean?
Each of us creates from within the story that we believe in. That story builds the world around us. From inside of that world, we generate our own state — of mood, feeling, anxiety or calm. In response to our state, reality responds.
The guides say:
Reality forms around you, creating itself in response to your state. You respond to what is around you, further confirming that reality by your own action upon it. As you perform action on the reality around you, it seems more and more real.
According to the guides, we have a partner in this Creation. That partner is God.
And here it is important to pause, and to clarify that when we say God what we mean is Love. What we mean is Truth. We mean the abiding and foundational vibration of divinity - which is to say, Life. Which is to say, the Wholeness of Creation.
When we say the word God, we are speaking of All That Is Visible and Invisible - All that is and has been and will be. For all is one and that is what we mean when we speak of God.
And so, we speak now of this first level of awareness - the awareness of your own state.
You are responsible for observing the state you are in and discerning whether the story you are following is supporting a state of well-being or a state of fear. You are responsible to ask: Is this the optimal set of beliefs for me? Does the story I am following lead to the world that I would, if I had the choice, want to live in?
At this level it is entirely possible to change the story. You do this by choosing a story you prefer. There is always a better story nearby. It is always possible to uplift and increase your well-being - even by the smallest action. For example, working with imaginative projection, you can change your local conditions. Begin small. Clean out a drawer or spruce up your living environment. Imagine as you wash the dishes and fold the laundry that you are tidying the world around you.
This simple everyday activity can lighten your mood and, often, once the environment around you is in order, new ideas will come spontaneously. You may feel called to weed the garden or rearrange a cabinet or phone a friend you haven’t spoken with in a while. All of these seeming small things begin from the first level of awareness. Observation of the state that you are currently in and the realization that you can change (uplift) that state.
Uplifting your own state may seem like such a small thing and yet it’s the primary foundational piece of all that follows, the cornerstone upon which you will build a new reality. In this sense, reality is just like a house. You begin with a strong foundation, and build upward, brick by brick, board by board.
Television puts you into generative trance. You create reality from the state you are in. You do not create reality alone
The realization that reality is a mirror must be followed by the realization that someone or something is observing you — or is at the very least, interacting with you.
When you are sleep-walking through life, you can only follow the stories you are fed. You are the mirror, reproducing the beliefs and behaviors you see and hear. Once you awaken, you become the witness. It is then that you realize you are not alone. There is another beside you - a benevolent, loving witness is witnessing you!
This is the second layer of awareness, the foundation of your freedom.
From a state of sleep, reality acts upon you. From an awakened state, you can act upon reality. You can make choices. Awareness is the foundation. Choice is the creative clay of freedom.
This is where you can begin to execute real choices. In choosing what you pay attention to, you are ‘tidying up’ your inner spaces - your mind, your heart and will.
When you blindly follow a fearful story, you move as if under a spell. You listen and react, reproducing the story you are told by projecting it onto the conditions around you. If you encounter a limit, you interpret it through the lens of the fearful story. If you encounter another person, you can only see them through that same lens, as opponent or enemy.
When you come awake, your eyes open to the truth. The world is wider than it once seemed. The fearful story is but one of many stories. The opponent turns out to be an ally, even a friend.
When you come awake, you can choose a better story to follow. You can lean into the support of the companion who is always there to help you. With awareness, you can ask - specifically or generally - for exactly what you need. You notice the many ways in which your prayers can (and will) be answered.
Now, you will naturally discern through your own eyes how things really are.
From this state, ask yourself questions, like: Are these things in my life in alignment with the good? Does this person, this purchase, this program on TV support my state of well-being? If not, make new choices. Bring things back into alignment with the good. You are free now and you no longer need to follow, blindly, hypnotized, by stories built on fear.
You are capable of discerning truth from illusion, fear from love. You recognize and want to follow the qualities of the good.
The good is life-giving, inclusive, Joy, supporting, expansive, regenerative, life sustaining, with layers of color and beauty and music and pathways to creative expression for all.
You could say that the good is the state of well-being.
You could say that the good is the state of balance.
You could say that the good is the state of flow — an interconnected matrix of co-arising inside of which all thrive together.
You could say the good is the God State.
You could say the good is nature.
You could say the good is the state of all is one.
Witness Consciousness is the realization that this state exists and that change is possible. From freedom, you may choose to align or not to align with the good.
From Witness Consciousness, awareness of the good naturally arises. We sense the good as a steady hum, Endlessly, reminding us who we are, and inviting us into alignment. We sense the good as a presence — a benevolent friend, who walks beside us, encouraging and supporting us.
For many people right now, there is an extra layer of awareness, a bridge space which as been opened between the dreamy, blind sleep of the follower and the awakened awareness of Witness Consciousness.
From this layer, you can sense the presence of the good. You may feel that something or someone is calling your name, trying to get your attention from beyond the material world. You may experience signs and even, miracles. You may have flashes of connection, visionary imagery, and even, visitations from supportive, non-physical beings like angels.
This dreamy in-between layer is offered to soften the crossing between sleeping and waking. For many, it is a necessary passage.
Though it is possible to shift from sleeping to waking by simply opening ones eyes, for many people this bridge layer is necessary. This will not always be the case but because there is such deep conditioning for so many now it is a gentle and generous kindness, allowing them to make a softer, smoother and less jarring transition from a state of sleep to awakened awareness.
Before there was television mass conditioning/hypnosis was done through the generative trance of religion. The great myths are vast storehouses from which you have gleaned much information about the beliefs which generated the evolutionary states of thinking and feeling of peoples through the ages. Historically, conditioning was offered in these houses of worship. It was carried home and passed down through generations - through families and local relationships of commerce and cooperative living.
This is still the case though less so as television and other broadcast media have taken over this role
So, we would like to take one more moment to explore/explain what we mean by generative trance. We spoke earlier of the way that a politician, entertainer, teacher or leader can influence public opinion through the broadcasting of fear-based stories.
This was always the case but with television, those who influence others can do more damage as these messages are broadcast widely and frequently. A fear-based story can distort the individual experience of reality by disconnecting an individual - momentarily, through shocking images and words - from their natural connection to the source of the good.
By convincing you that you are in danger when you are not, these messages (fear-based stories) generate a sense of defendedness and fear of the world. When you are afraid, you cluster into groups of frightened people making it more and more difficult for Love and Truth (God) to reach you.
When you separate an individual from their connection to the good, you sever their natural connection to God, which is a terrible feeling, creating a deep sense of alienation and abandonment. And yet you are never truly separate from us. For even when you cannot see or feel us, we are here with you and always calling you back into alignment with the only story that’s real - the story of your inclusion in the good - and to your one true home, the field of love and blessing.
Telling fear-based stories is profoundly unkind - and out of alignment with the good.
Fear-based stories, like the knives of surgeons, are razor-sharp, designed to sever things. These stories are designed to cut your connection to love creating terror of things that are not real. Combined with the trance-inducing quality of screens, the power of these stories to influence your behavior can seem almost irresistible.
Yet as always, those who have eyes can see and those who have ears can hear. All of your prophets have spoken these words to point to the necessary awakening of witness consciousness. For it is only from this level of awareness that these trance states can be resisted, and true change can occur.
And now we will speak of Amy - the bearer of our message today. She is moving, as all must now, through the miasm of other peoples nightmares. We want to reassure her this is only a temporary manifestation and that she is under our protection. All is well and she is strongly held and she is here with us and greatly loved. Indeed, she is already moving forward, as she is turning toward the fascinating phenomenon of a seeming conversation between her dreaming and her waking life, and with it the much faster, often instant, manifestation of thought into form/reality.
We have given Amy, the suggestion that she watch as little television as possible and instead, to walk outside in the natural world. This will automatically reset and recalibrate her state of being, making it much easier to release residual (old) stories of suffering in the days to come. We have suggested that she release into our care all of the precious notebooks filled with the loss and love and memory. It is time to walk into new stories now it is time to live again.
And these stories will be released they will be taken from all of you, for they are no longer needed. Let them go, let them go, let them go now. A new story is here to meet you on the other side of the bridge.
We return to you now, Reader, and we will close with the discussion with which we began: the discussion of the generative trance, and the importance of awakening to awareness of the layers, and your influence, as an individual over your own state and how that state influences your experience of reality.
It is time now for all to cross over to this awareness. This is the basic requirement for entry into the New World, the world of love and blessing. This is the choice point and you hold the key to both kingdoms.
Will you enter the world of love and blessing or will you stay in the world/the generative trance of fear and reactivity?
We invite you to make the crossing. Cross over now and we wait to meet you there. So be at and so it is at 4:00 am on this day of February, 2024.
So much love to you this bright almost spring day. xxoo Amy
I typed “television trance” into google. This article came up for me. See what happens if you try it.
Excerpted from Fast Company: https://www.fastcompany.com/3060491/what-happened-to-my-brain-after-a-month-without-watching-tv
The Dangers of TV
A lot of research has been done around TV viewing and children, and Adam Lipson, a neurosurgeon with IGEA Brain & Spine, says one of the best studies is from Tohoku University in Japan. “They noted thickening of the frontopolar cortex, which is related to verbal reasoning ability, and also correlated with a drop in IQ in proportion to the number of hours of television watching,” he says. “In addition, they noted thickening in the visual cortex in the occipital lobe, and in the hypothalamus, which may correlate with aggression.”
Studies involving adults have tied television watching to Type 2 diabetes, depression, and even crime, adds Lipson. “Many of the studies report adverse effects with television watching greater than one hour per day,” he says. “There have been EEG studies that demonstrate that television watching converts the brain from beta wave activity to alpha waves, which are associated with a daydreaming state, and a reduced use of critical thinking skills.”
Eric Braverman, founder and president of Path Foundation NY, a nonprofit research organization devoted to brain health, is a little more blunt: “The boob tube turns you into a boob,” he says. “Television mesmerizes people and turns them into intellectual spectators. It feeds passivity and makes you less engaged.”
“TV increasingly traffics in violent programming to keep the viewer in a state of constant fear,” says Wheeler Winston Dixon, Ryan professor of film studies at the University of Nebraska. “TV also acts as a pacifier, a sort of virtual escape, but it is one that never satisfies, and only leaves the viewer wanting more of the same emptiness.”
I love the guidance that came through and how you shared it. This kind of channeled writing is a facet of my writing and have wondered if/how to share on Substack. You inspire me.
Amy, I am curious about "We have suggested that she release into our care all of the precious notebooks filled with the loss and love and memory. " I have 50+ years of journals stored away, and recently I have been considering/trying to get up the nerve to toss them. How do you interpret "release into our care"?
