Selig - Beyond the known: realization: a channeled text

I consider myself an open-minded skeptic. When my friends and mentors Ted Dekker and Duncan Trussell recommended that I listen to the channeled teachings of Paul Selig, I casually tuned into a podcast. Paul seemed like a humble, genuine guy. I noticed no indication of bravado or any desire to wear the mask of spiritual master. It was when he started the process of channeling everything became very interesting. He would quickly mumble parts of a sentence and then repeat them again clearly and audibly. As I listened further, I became more and more intrigued. The message that he was offering was, well impeccable. I had never heard a more salient expression of Truth from any spiritual teacher, alive or dead. I was astounded. It was enough to put me on the path to discovering more.

I immediately dove into his channeled books. That is when the teaching really started to shift my perspective. I began to comprehend my own potential to grasp highly evolved concepts. My experience with this work in a few short months had been more profound than anything I had known prior.

I was determined to meet Paul in person. I invited him to come to my office for a podcast at the Onnit headquarters in Austin, Texas. While Onnit is focused on the body and the mind-set of peak performance, my personal passion is the expansion of consciousness, and this often takes me deep into the unchartered realms of spirituality.

This was the start of a genuine friendship with Paul, and a dedication to learn as much as I possibly could from the teaching of the Guides. I was fortunate enough to get an early copy of The Book of Freedom, which took me even further in my understanding of my questions of who I am, what I am, and how I serveperhaps the most important questions of any spiritual philosophy.

Learning from the Guides has not only taught me a great deal, it has also provided a language for many of the truths that I have discovered from over twenty years of experiential work. Everything I have come to know from my dedication to plant medicine, breathwork, yoga, and meditation was all consistent with these teachings. The goal of my personal work has always been to become free. Free to experience love and the bliss of existing in true presence. Free to experience pain without the mental resistance that creates suffering. Free to experience the connection to everyone and everything around me, without judgment. Free to know myself beyond my personal history and identity.

So when Paul asked me if I would like to read his latest work, Beyond the Known: Realization, and write the introduction, there wasnt a moments hesitation. Not only was that a great honor, it was a treat to get an early copy of his latest manuscript. This book is the most audacious of the Guides teachings to date. It describes how anyone who chooses can claim the true expression of who they are; what the Guides call the Divine Self, the True Self, or the Christed Self.

From my personal experience it is important to take your time with the teachings. Trust that your path will follow the perfect timing and teaching for you, and you alone. And while you are in the process, recognize that just because you are doing this work, it doesnt make your path any better or worse than anyone elses. Those are all judgments that you cant bring with you on this journey. Were all together in the school of life.

I cant say that after reading this book that I am a permanent resident of what the Guides call the Upper Room. But I have gazed out of those sun-soaked windows for a few moments, moments that in Zen Buddhism they would call satori. And having seen that view, I find myself happier, less fearful, and much more abundant in love. I hope you have the same experience. I have no doubt that you will.
