Includes the full, excellent, channeling documentary TUNING IN
Below you can watch the full Tuning In documentary about channeling for free.
Tuning In features six prominent channelers: Lee Carroll who started channeling Kryon in 1981, Shawn Randall who started channeling Torah in 1983, Darryl Anka who started channeling Bashar publicly in 1983, John Cali who started channeling Chief Joseph in 1992, Wendy Kennedy who started automatic writing in 1995 which led her to begin channeling the Pleiadian Collective, and Geoffrey Hope who started channeling Tobias back in 1997.
Today these channels have become famous within the growing and expanding popular realm of ‘conscious awakening’, with new videos being published online every day - such as those by the excellent The Next Level Soul Podcast - garnering hundreds of thousands and often millions of views.
But Tuning In by journalist and filmmaker David Thomas was released back in 2008 when channeling was still called spirit channeling and is the result of 10 years inquiry into the phenomenon that was still very much an unknown and also considered very controversial.
Before you watch this film, I encourage you to read my full write up about why I am sharing this documentary with you and why it is so extremely significant.
(the answers may not be what you think!)

So let’s dive in ...
First, let me say I have masses of admiration for Alex Ferrari’s brilliant work building The Next Level Soul Podcast and getting the importance of topics like channeling out to the masses, but I also see a trap that many fall into when exploring topics like human consciousness and conscious awakening.
Just like exploring the rabbit holes of conspiracy, the exploration itself can become a never-ending addictive pastime.
Knowing about the dark stuff going on in the world should be empowering, and not depressing. It means we can use this knowledge to make better choices, to step out of the rat race, and to choose the life we want to live!
The exact same can be said for exploring topics like channeling. The purpose is not to absorb endless content, but to take the messages and use them practically.
We can by all means watch new content on occasion for entertainment purposes (the latest messages from channels are definitely a lot better for us than watching TV), but what is so fascinating watching Tuning In is that the channeled messages today are exactly the same.
Latest Insights on Channeling
On his official 2008-2009 archived website, David Thomas writes that he brought together six channelers from the United States for the very first time “in order to gain insight into the phenomenon, as well as the information being received.”
In this section I’ll explain what insights we have into the phenomenon, and in the final section I’ll go into insights about the information being received.
Let me just remind those sceptical about hypnosis (my modality) that hypnosis is just the scientific word used to explain the path inwards.
Hypnosis is the process of moving from our usual state of conscious awareness into our subconscious to altered states of consciousness found within what psychologists call the ‘unconscious mind’.
This journey inwards has traditionally been considered a shamanic or spiritual path. For example, as David Thomas points out:
Channeling is a practice dating back to antiquity wherein an individual, usually in a trance state, makes a psychic connection with a spirit being. The channeler is then able to act as a dimensional go-between in bringing other humans in contact with the entity, as well as interpreting messages from the entity.
Today EEG readings show us how consciousness operates at different frequency levels, each associated with a different brainwave state, and the shamanic path within - or hypnosis - can now also be explained scientifically by understanding these frequencies, or brainwave states.
We go into the hypnotic theta brainwave state when we focus on the present and let go into our unconscious. We do this while awake, and also when we dream.
Scientific experiments shows that with continued practice going within, for example through meditation, we can shift from relaxed theta into a heightened state - the very high human brainwave state called gamma:
And we also know scientifically that we move into gamma when we are lucid dreaming (aware we are in a dream) - and when we are channeling:
In the film Tuning In Darryl Anka talks about learning to channel:
Under one of the guided meditations, .. I received what felt like, what I experienced to be, a telepathic contact. I decided whether it’s really another entity or whether is just a portion of my consciousness, what I did understand is that channeling itself is an actual altered state. And in that altered state, people have the ability to access information.
In these states, such as lucid dreaming or channeling, we are directly experiencing and accessing information from a much deeper and much more profound place of greater conscious awareness than our usual beta brainwave state from where we experience our reality most of the time (beta is the highly active thinking mind - or ‘monkey mind’ - as meditators call it).

About his film Tuning In David Thomas continues: “the result is remarkable: across space and time it appears the entities are speaking as one, delivering a clear and profound message of empowerment for humankind.”
“The channeled material I have been delving into for years now is amazingly consistent: we are masters who have not quite realized it, we are powerful but limit ourselves with errant thought and action, this lifetime is more significant than most others we’ve had,” he adds.
But if there is one clear message that is “told to us again and again in different ways and voices” - as David Thomas adds in a 2014 update about his intended Tuning In Now sequel - do we need more channeled messages at all?
“It’s a legitimate question, and one I believe I can answer.” He elaborates:
Because we are scraping off centuries upon centuries of fear, faulty teaching and tar-like energy, and it takes the gentle scrubbing (sometimes not so gentle) of wise channeled bristles to get the job done. The barnacles of fetid energy cling tenaciously to our human hulls and cannot be removed with a single cleansing.
We are playing a game of Russian nesting dolls with ourselves, going further and further, excising layer upon layer. In the process, sometimes jobs, relationships and ways of life fall by the wayside, sloughed off snakeskin. We solider on, not truly knowing where we are going, but realizing innately it’s too late to turn back now. We couldn’t even if we tried.
So we return again and again, each new message burrowing deeper into our marrow. Watch a profound offering like “Tuning In Now”. Rinse. Repeat.
I do agree the “scraping off centuries upon centuries of fear, faulty teaching and tar-like energy”, as David Thomas puts it, is indeed “a game of Russian nesting dolls with ourselves, going further and further, excising layer upon layer.”
I also agree that “In the process, sometimes jobs, relationships and ways of life fall by the wayside”, and I further agree that “it takes the gentle scrubbing (sometimes not so gentle) of wise channeled bristles to get the job done.”
But I strongly argue that these “wise channeled bristles” do not need to come from listening to ongoing messages from someone else - but rather from within you.
As Bashar says in the film Tuning In, “the whole point of guiding you is to actually teach you to be your own best guide.”
I refer back to the building blocks.
Imagine planet Earth below the blocks to be that core of you. The natural state of you - connected with your inner truth - and each block is a piece of conditioning, socialisation or programming that takes you away from that true essence of you.
‘The awakening’ process is becoming conscious of your unconscious beliefs and habits, clearing stored stress and trauma, removing physical and emotional pain and healing physical and emotional wounds. That is the “game of Russian nesting dolls with ourselves, going further and further, excising layer upon layer”.
Underneath it all at your core, you are re-connecting with the amazingness of who and what you truly are, your innate psychic abilities and your true free self.
This is why I emphasise that the Better Way and New Earth are not about us focusing on some new state or reaching something new ‘out there’. It’s about remembering our own true state of being - who we already truly are - ‘inside’.
Messages from Tuning In Within
Tuning In is my favourite video on channeling because it is raw and real, before the glamour of channeling today, and I would argue the only video anyone needs to watch to get that one “clear and profound message of empowerment” that is “told to us again and again in different ways and voices”.
After all, as Torah says in Tuning In, “How many aware people on the planet is it going to take that are able to put their awareness into their speech and into their actions before the collective consensus is affected. That is yet to be determined. No one knows exactly when and how that will happen.”
The film divides the channeled messages into chapters: The Law of Attraction, God, Victims, Soul, Horns and Halos (Jesus and Hitler), Life and Beyond, The Body, The New Consciousness and a section on The Channelers themselves.
Before you head back up to the top of this article to watch the documentary in full, here are some of those “amazingly consistent” messages from Tuning In:
From Kryon:
There must be a balance between the intellect and what you would call the heart. And that person who is balanced, that human who is balanced will show. You’ll know them. For they will seem to be more gentle, they’ll seem to be more open, less judgmental. This would be the balance. You might say well they are heart-based. They are not. They are balanced. Never throw away what your truth is, never throw away what your logic tells you, but temperate it with the emotion of your heart and become balanced.
There’s only one question that you should ask. Get into a meditative state with pure intent and say to God, to spirit, “Show me what it is I need to know.” The synchronicities will start to appear in your lives like little open doors.
Make no mistake; there is no thing as a generic human being. Some of you may wish to only eat one kind of thing, some of you wish to eat another. Do what your body feels best with, that results in the most energy, and the most appropriateness for you.
At that point at which you decide to eliminate drama, hook up to that which we would call the connection to the other side of the veil, .. this is discovering the core, and that is that you always have been and always will be in control of your life as a piece of God in this universe.
From Torah:
It’s so important to start waking up to the truth of one’s own nature. And the truth of ones own nature is what one finds when you go within. And discover the connection to all, and to God, Goddess - all that is. That lies deep at the heart of the true self.
There’s a great Sage who likes to say “if you want enlightenment, lighten up.” That is absolutely true, but we would suggest that one of the great secrets to lightening up is being willing to heal and transform ones angers and fears so that the joys can be fuller and richer. And so that creation can become a very active principle in your life.
The conditioning will determine what the belief systems are and what the subconscious is holding on to, and if there’s limitations there then you want to heal whatever that misconception is because all humans are deserving, innately inherently deserving. It’s just a matter of recognising it, owning it, understanding it and believing it.
From Bashar:
In this so-called ‘New Age’, or ‘Age of Awakening’, or ‘Age of Spiritual Awareness’ on your planet, the whole idea is that you are really at the end of the cycle of limitation that you have imposed on yourself for thousands of years.
Many of you have belief systems unconsciously that actually keep the idea of the experience of abundance at bay. Many people who believe “I will never be successful if I don’t have a lot of money” also believe “I will become a greedy person, a bad person.” So if they associate the idea of being a bad person with having a lot of money, then that’s a belief they need to look at because they don’t need to have that association.
Growth is the product of integration of all that you are. Not the exclusion of anything. It is the allowance that everything is valid. Balancing of everything as valid. That’s why the more evolved that you become, you actually become more aware of more dark. Because you’re willing to integrate it all and balance it all within you.
Passion, excitement, joy, love, that sensation in the body, that excitement in the body, that sense of balance and peace in the body, is the body’s physical translation of the vibratory frequency that represents your true, natural, core, original self.
From Chief Joseph:
The wisest you have ever been as human beings is when you were little children. They are just so uninhibited, and joyful, and they live in the present moment with joy. And that is the key. You should all be like little children again. That’s the best advice we could ever give to anybody.
We define love as the choice to see the divinity in all beings - not just human being, not just spirit beings, but all beings. All that is. That is what God is. And so literally you are all God, you are all Goddess. And you have the power that goes along with being divine.
The basis of your existence is freedom. You all have free will. So anytime you’re doing anything that does not feel good to you, or that does not resonate with you, even if it is a job that’s paying you thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars, if it’s something you really dislike, you’re doing yourself a great disservice and you’re distancing yourself more and more from your higher self. You can’t disconnect from your higher self, but you can certainly get out of alignment from your higher self.
From the Pleiadian Collective:
Working on yourself is the greatest gift that you can give to humanity. And that sounds so self-centered, but that’s how you’ve been conditioned. If you want to keep someone from accessing their own power, and helping to heal the planet, or helping to heal mass consciousness, you’re going to tell them that its very selfish for them to look inside.
From the higher perspective, you know, pain serves its purpose. It is a catalyst for change because if you were happy and content all the time you probably wouldn’t move, would you? No. So it serves as a catalyst, and we will tell you pain is perception, nothing more.
All illness starts in the emotional field without exception. If its a genetic mutation, that starts in the emotional field and it is something that has been so generously left behind by one of your ancestors. It all comes back to the emotions. Because the emotional body creates the physical reality. How you are feeling about yourself is determining your physical body more so than what you’re consuming and how you’re exercising. You’re conditioned to think that it’s all physical, but its not. Its all emotional.
There are no victims here. When you are allowing others to subjugate you, the moment you stop, you see that you have power. This reality is showing you that you have power.
A part of your quote unquote ‘New Age Movement’ want to be all light, and all happy. And we’ll tell you that is not what this lifetime is about. because there are prejudices there. And the idea here is that you release all of that prejudice. All of that judgement against the dark. Because you cannot have one without the other.
This planet has some very beautiful things on it. And the range and expression of love is amazing. The kind you have with a friend, the kind you have with a lover, the kind you have with a life-long mate, with your brother, with your mother, with your father. There are varying shades, and that is what is so special about the love on this planet. Enjoy being human while you can. Enjoy the things that the physical world has to offer. Have fun, play, love, laugh, and allow new ideas and inspiration to come in.
From Tobias:
You have a conflict going on now between the limited human and the souled being. The soul doesn’t really necessary care about all of the human whinings. None of it matters. Your soul and your spirit cares about the joy of being. In other words experiencing what is in front of you to experience.
Those who are biased to the light only are basically imbalanced. And then they’re going to have to then sooner or later experience their dark part. Of which they’re deathly afraid of. They’re afraid of their dark part within. Why do they label it dark? Why do they think it’s evil? Its just another aspect of them.
I’m going to simplify this for you. And perhaps some may think the answer is a bit terse, but: just get over it. You’re wallowing in your own self-pity, you’ve set up an energy of being a victim. A victim of life, a victim of other people. You’re allowing them to steal your energy and to steal your heart and your consciousness. You’re in a type of trap, and you’re letting it happen. You decide one day when you’re getting out of bed or one night when you’re taking a walk that you’re just going to get over it. You’re going to stop letting others take from you, and you’re going to stop taking from other people as well. You’re going to be whole and sovereign. It is truly that simple.
You know what makes it complex and makes it difficult for humans is they develop all these multi-step programs. And they write books. And they have seminars and classes. And they get more and more and more into the mind and away from the true matter at hand. You are an angelic being. You are God also. Get over all the rest of it.
Imagine yourself singing new songs, creating music, writing books, painting pictures. imagine yourself waking up in the morning and looking forward to the day, not how are you going to get through the day. Open yourself up now. Don’t be afraid of what you’re going to lose because you didn’t need it anyway.
There are mavericks out there, there are those who are going outside of the grid, there are those who are taking huge leaps of consciousness within themselves. They’re looking inside for the answers rather than letting somebody outside do it for them.
