To become a channel you must rid your mind of all the rubbish accumulated throughout lifetime so that a clean environment exists to develop those powers latent within you. Some major considerations are as follows:
1. Controlling the mind – learn to control your mental energies and give undivided attention, you have the force, the power to achieve any goal, the power of creation.
2. Removing emotion – remove negative emotions. Total faith leaves no room for worry. Unrestricted love allows no room for hate, envy, anger and greed.
3. Self-examination – as a truth seeker, you continually examine yourself. You must determine your ideals and beliefs. You must achieve clear and concise determination what is right and wrong for you. Just as you cannot judge another, you cannot be judged by any other than yourself.
4. Possessiveness – overcome it. Learn to transform petty possessiveness into great spiritual feeling of sharing and unity.
5. Love – learn to truly love. Learn to love well enough to release people and things rather than to cling to them. Your love should be understanding and forgiving. You need to realize that each individual has his or her own path to follow, his or her own experience to assimilate, in order to fully develop. You must lead the individual thread their own path at his own pace. You should give love. You should be love.
6. Meditation – you must master the silence in which the higher self speaks. The daily meditation clears the cluttered mind and produces the clear channel that can be used at will.
