The path of spiritual growth is not merely a journey of internal enlightenment; it is a profound commitment to embodying truth in every facet of our lives. On July 28, 2016, immediately following a significant breakthrough in my channeling course, I undertook a new practice session. The transmission that unfolded during this session, focusing on integrity, authenticity, and the crucial need to develop boundaries, resonated so deeply that it felt almost uncomfortably close to my own experiences. Sharing this message publicly came with a degree of nervousness, yet its vital importance compelled me to do so.
As I reflect on that session, the ability to identify patterns in life stands out as a lifelong practice for me. Looking back at specific moments, I can discern recurring series of events, almost like interwoven threads in a tapestry. By analysing these patterns and what transpired within them, we gain invaluable insight into what needs adjustment, and how best to navigate future similar situations. These experiences are, in essence, bespoke lessons from the Universe, often unseen in their full significance until we gain the clarity of hindsight.
During this particular channeling session, the energy that came through was distinctly Masculine, differing noticeably from Amy’s usual energetic signature. I remain uncertain of its precise origin, yet this benevolent presence powerfully illuminated many aspects for me.
The Channelled Transmission: Integrity, Authenticity, and Trust (July 28, 2016)
(A powerful transmission flowed through, offering profound insights into the human journey of integrity and boundaries. The message began with an acknowledgement of initial energetic recalibration before moving into its core teachings.)
“As an incarnate being, you continually learn, develop, and evolve. Through this evolution, and across the years of your growth, you learn to break existing patterns—those inherited or developed in earlier stages—and to create new, more empowering patterns as you progress.
Human beings often experience challenging lessons and hardships. These experiences, such as witnessing individuals who are employed to perform work but fail to deliver, or those who promise payment for goods or services but renege on their word, illuminate a fundamental truth: dishonesty. Therefore, one of the most essential qualities for an incarnate is honesty, integrity, and authenticity.”
The Self-Developed Nature of Trust
“Previously, we have discussed the concept of trust. Can trust truly be taught? No. While we can provide you with foundational discussions on its principles, trust is a quality you, the incarnate, must actively develop within yourselves. It begins with self-trust, nurturing faith in your own instincts and inner guidance. How can we instruct you to trust others if you are still learning to trust your own being? As you can observe, trust is a self-developed virtue.
Yet, many of you have experienced the profound pain of trusting someone who has not only let you down but has also demonstrated blatant dishonesty or a complete lack of integrity. This pattern is pervasive: engaging in a contract or agreement, committing to fees, and then finding that nothing gets delivered. This pattern of non-delivery for promised exchange, where individuals change phone numbers, fail to respond to emails, or simply disappear without fulfilling their obligations, creates a significant void. Where is the equitable exchange? Something is profoundly missing.
When you, the incarnate, experience this, you often endure the trauma, heartache, pain, and stress of having something valuable removed from your life—whether it is financial, energetic, or emotional. How do people cope with these deeply frustrating and often painful hardships?”
Boundaries: Declarations of Self-Respect
“These hardships you experience are, in their divine purpose, here to teach, for lessons, for experiences. They are here to help you develop boundaries. By boundaries, we primarily refer to the energetic and emotional lines you establish around your heart—they are, in essence, declarations of your belief systems about what you will and will not accept.
You must declare your boundaries. You must declare them first to yourselves, solidifying your inner knowing. And you must declare them in your external interactions, particularly in professional contexts. For instance, as a business owner, if someone wishes to purchase something from you but does not pay, do they receive the product or service? No. You establish a clear boundary that mandates payment for value received. This is an automatic, inherent understanding of exchange and self-respect.
Yet, a paradox can arise. As this one (Steven) is learning, being overly relaxed or ‘chill’ in professional dealings can sometimes lead to unintended consequences. If you present as extremely laid-back, others may automatically assume, ‘This person is cool, they’ll be okay with it,’ leading to an exploitation of your generous nature. How then do you find the balance, as both service providers and recipients, to ensure that professional standards are met, and that services are provided without excuses or the assumption that your relaxed demeanour implies leniency?
You must overcome fear if it is present; you must overcome resistance. How can you progress if you are held captive by fear? How can you run a business professionally without self-worth, self-value, and self-respect? Would you say that boundaries are inextricably linked with self-respect? Perhaps. As we have observed recently, individuals who clearly declare and uphold their boundaries do so because they possess self-respect. If you do not cultivate this, why would others not exploit you?
What we have seen and experienced through this one (Steven) is that if you are overly relaxed, a very common ‘temperamental’ pattern (if that is the word we are looking for) can manifest. People will begin to take your generosity for granted. To give a clearer example: some years ago, this one, being immensely generous, would help people financially. He would assist those who genuinely couldn’t afford things, being generous with his money—paying for dinners, drinks, even insurance bills or passports. Did these individuals pay him back? No. He gifted out of his generosity, out of his love for humanity. But did these people truly respect it? Not so much. Were they genuinely grateful or thankful? Often not.
But what we have also observed is that if you do not speak up, this pattern of imbalance will inevitably continue. For instance, if you’re out with friends and it’s your turn to pay for drinks, you should clearly state that it’s their turn next. This creates balance; it is an equitable exchange. By not speaking up, you allow a feeling of unsettlement within your energy field. The human mind tends to dwell on these imbalances, creating sadness if it feels taken advantage of for too long.”
Overcoming Fear: My Journey to Self-Mastery
The wisdom imparted through this channeling resonates profoundly with my own recent experiences and long-standing personal lessons. As I reflect on the patterns the channeled voice highlighted, I now see them with startling clarity. This conversation was about boundaries: setting them, establishing them, and not confusing strength with arrogance.
The experience of witnessing my own patterns of generosity being exploited, and the subsequent emotional pain from unfulfilled agreements—particularly in business where services were paid for but not delivered, leading to breaches of contract and unmet demands for refunds—has been deeply transformative. This pain, which had festered within me, finally surged to the surface, demanding to be addressed. It became clear that in business, such conduct simply cannot be accepted; to allow it perpetuates a cycle of exploitation. If one is a therapist or service provider, and a client fails to pay for a session, where is the boundary? We are all aware of instances where individuals shoplift or engage in dishonest acts. The channeled message underscored that my struggle to articulate this, my inability to smoothly interpret what they wished to convey, stemmed from my own unhealed experiences.
My ability to channel now, and the profound experiences I share, are a direct result of a significant process I underwent in my twenties—a physical and emotional transformation that prepared me for this work. This understanding was confirmed through Rebecca Dawson’s channelled insights from Master Kuthumi.
However, my journey into conscious channeling and self-mastery has been marked by a pivotal lesson in discernment. I once encountered the term ‘Chelaship’ (meaning studentship to a Master) in a spiritual discussion and, after consulting Amy, believed it was part of my life plan with Ascended Master Serapis Bey. Yet, in a subsequent session with Rebecca Dawson, Serapis Bey himself (channelled through her) unequivocally stated, “What Chelaship?” He clarified that this was not a time for studentship, but for mastery: “You’re not the student here; you are the master.” This direct contradiction from the same Ascended Master, channeled through a different individual, profoundly solidified the absolute necessity of trusting one’s own inner knowing and discerning authentic truth from external information, even from spiritual sources.
My personal history, marked by childhood bullying and later, during periods of drug therapy, by a debilitating fear of confrontation due to violent brain reactions triggered by emotional responses, taught me a critical lesson: never respond immediately to an emotional trigger. It takes immense self-awareness and practice to seize control of that split second where we choose to react or simply pause and breathe. The email, the work, the conversation—everything will wait. There is no need to respond emotionally. This is a profound challenge, particularly for those not trained in emotional management.
Having the opportunity to revisit such confrontational scenarios and actively choose to stand up, be heard, and speak my truth marks a major transformation. This ability, crucial in both business and personal management, is a skill I continue to learn and refine. My focus remains on how I respond; how the other party reacts is beyond my control, determined by their own self-understanding, emotional state, and perceptions. As long as I maintain my own integrity and focus on my own contribution, there is nothing to fear.
The Crisis of Credibility: A Call for Authenticity
This challenging experience is not isolated. I have observed and heard numerous accounts of similar discrepancies within the spiritual, health, and wellness industries. Many businesses incessantly claim to offer transformative solutions or embody high ideals, yet consistently fail to deliver on their promises. Marketing themselves as “the best” or presenting “the next big thing,” they often fall short, indulging in false claims, unmet expectations, smoke and mirrors, deception, and outright lies. This raises a critical question: Where has credibility gone?
My path, as Amy has channelled, was meticulously planned so that I would first deeply learn certain lessons and then, authentically, teach from that lived experience. This divine blueprint ensures that I truly walk my talk. This journey also compels us to discern the nature of what is presented by others: Is it genuine, or merely a distraction from a true opportunity for growth?
Regardless of the situation, the imperative is clear: take full responsibility for your actions and your inactions. Embrace every opportunity for growth and learning. Denial, temper tantrums, creating drama, causing chaos, and spreading rumours are all potent indicators of the ego dominating your being. These actions are contrary to the very freedom humanity collectively seeks. Therefore, if you are a professional in the industry of health, wellness, or spirituality, you are called to embody your principles. You had better make sure you walk your talk, otherwise, in today’s increasingly discerning world, your business will ultimately fail.
Every moment provides a powerful opportunity for growth and development. Make the most of it, and let that moment empower you to transform the world around you.
Always, Walk the Talk.
