CHANNELING

	In the first half of the program, author and researcher Wynn Free talked about channeling messages from entities known as the 'Council of Elohim.' According to Free, the experience began during a road trip from Los Angeles to Portland, Oregon with a female friend. After saying a prayer for protection from some stormy weather, he asked if anyone wanted to talk to him and his companion replied, "we're here, do you have questions?" Although initially skeptical, they tried this communication again and established a connection with these entities. Skeptical of the veracity of these messages, Free asked for some form of proof and they told him of a future newspaper headline which came to pass shortly thereafter. After four months of communication with these entities, who called themselves the 'Council of Elohim,' Free received an additional "very unusual confirmation" about their legitimacy after learning that his sister was in dire health and had been hospitalized. In search of any possible aid for his ailing sister, he asked the 'Elohim' to help her. The next day, he received a phone call from her husband saying that she had survived. Although he assumed it was just a coincidence, Free was stunned when he later found out that his sister, previously afflicted with lupus, now no longer had the incurable disease. Baffled by this turn of events, he inquired how the Elohim cured her and they told him they filtered her blood to remove the lupus. Now fully convinced of the reality of these beings and the knowledge they possess, Free has focused on learning more from them about the nature of the universe.
