Biographical Information for Bernice Kelman For most of my life I have had an active interest in parapsychology, psychic phenomena and spiritual development and have been exploring it since my college years in the 1950”s. I began to study and practice in earnest in 1971 and began teaching classes in psychic development in 1975. The phenomenon of mediumship, or channeling as it is now known, intrigued me, but I had some apprehension about learning to practice it because I did not want to surrender my individuality to some outside entity. One of the reasons I teach is that I believe each individual has the right to be as free as possible to control his or her own life. I have been acquainted with “people without bodies” of various kinds since I met my first ghost in 1973. I have also had my own personal spirit guides since that time, and I suppose these experiences prepared me to some extent for an event that occurred in April of 1981, which was to change my understanding of reality dramatically. One ordinary Sunday afternoon at my home in Vermont, while practicing my daily meditation, I suddenly seemed to find myself in a completely different place and time, but one which I was experiencing with as much vividness as “normal” reality. I found myself in a crowd that had gathered in a meadow on a lovely June day. We were listening to and questioning a man who was leaning against a large rock at the edge of the meadow where the ground sloped upward. He looked pleasant and healthy, and I guessed his age to be around thirty. He had longish hair and a full beard and mustache. His eyes were a piercing blue. He wore only blue jeans. I could see him so clearly that I could differentiate between the shades of brown, blond and red in his hair and beard. The crowd and I recognized him without difficulty. He was Jesus. In my vision, many people had questions for this man. One man told Jesus, “I’ve tried all my life to be a good Christian and follow your teachings, yet my life is filled with suffering,” and he listed all his sufferings. Jesus responded in our vernacular, even using slang, and certainly made his point. I paraphrase: “You call that suffering?” he asked. “You don’t know anything about suffering. Me, I know about suffering. Listen, I was on the cross three days for you people, now that’s suffering!” His words brought me up short. I raised my hand and blurted out, “Wait a minute, in the Book it says you were on the cross one day and was buried and resurrected on the third day.” He responded, “Who was there, you or me? I should know, after all. And anyway, you shouldn’t worry about the literal interpretation, you should always look for the underlying meaning of the stories in the Book.” “Actually,” he continued, “I came to you at that time with two very simple lessons and you managed to mess up both of them. So I’m here now to repeat them. “First, I came to show you that there is no death. You people made a big deal out of the crucifixion, but that only had to happen so that the resurrection could occur. The resurrection demonstrates that there is nothing the physical universe can do that can hurt you. They can even kill you and it can’t hurt you. They killed me and it didn’t hurt me, did it? “The second lesson is even simpler. I told you to love each other, and look how you messed up that one! So I came back to repeat it, and I really hope you get it right this time.” There the vision suddenly ended, leaving me sitting bolt upright, staring with amazement at my too-familiar room. My mind whirled as I tried to make sense out of my experience. I am the daughter of immigrant Jewish parents; after this vision I almost felt as if I’d been converted against my will. I went around the house talking to myself. I remember saying aloud, “Why me? I’m not even Christian.” He answered! “So, neither am I.” I had no response except amazement. He was still with me! Let me explain that I did not hear him with my physical ears. It was (and is) more a voice in my thoughts, akin to telepathy, with which I was very familiar. So in spite of the unusual quality of this experience at no time did I feel I was losing my mind or my grip on reality. I continued to live my life as before, to all outward appearances. “Jesus” did not interfere at all in my personal life but rather added a new dimension to it. I told almost everyone I encountered about this experience. I felt I was supposed to do this. I remember feeling like I was babbling for days. I spent a lot of time talking to Jesus and learning from his responses. Obviously this was a major turning point in my life. He became a friend and teacher to me. He repeatedly stressed that the physical universe with which we are familiar is no more or less “real” than any other universe. We create it the way it is, cooperatively, as a learning tool. He explained that one purpose of existing in this kind of reality is to learn to be responsible for what we manifest, because here we have a measure of safety in the time gap between the formation of an idea and its physical manifestation. I tested him often. I was skeptical and kept questioning for about a year. Then one morning as I was driving, suffering from an abscessed tooth, I argued with him, “If the physical universe isn’t real, why does my tooth hurt so much?” He replied, “You already know that the information from your physical senses is distorted or incomplete. So don’t believe what your senses are telling you now. Just keep saying, “None of this is real, none of this is real, none of this is real.”” Because the voice was inside my own thoughts, I was repeating the words along with him. After the third repetition, I felt the abscess suddenly liquefy and disappear. It did not burst, it did not drain into my mouth, it was simply gone and it did not return. I was so startled that I almost drove off the road. I did bring the car to a safe stop, to catch my breath and to thank him. From that moment on, he has become a friend I love and trust absolutely. About a year later, another one of my teeth abscessed. He declined to heal this one, however, saying he had only done the first as a demonstration and it was now up to me to take care of myself. I really do not know if he is the historical Jesus and/or the Messiah, the Son of God. I am in no position to make any claims. So I call him my Inner Teacher, or I.T. I do know that he constantly stresses the importance of unconditional love, honesty and integrity. As you may imagine, it is very difficult to get away with anything when someone like this is intimately connected to your consciousness, but that is a small price for all I am learning. Then on July 7th, 1986, I was at a small gathering of friends in Shelburne, Vermont. One woman showed me an especially lovely clear quartz crystal. To better tune into its energy, I placed the crystal on my “third eye” in the center of my forehead, the sixth chakra, supposedly the focus of psychic energy. I sat back with my eyes closed and my head back. Suddenly I felt my consciousness shift, as if I had moved out of this reality into a different space. I seemed to be looking through an opening into another dimension. Through this opening I was watching patterns of gold on a midnight blue background, which gradually coalesced into what appeared to be a figure wearing a midnight blue hooded cloak ornamented in gold. I only saw this figure from the chest up, and I never saw the face in the hood because it was shadowed, but I did get strong impressions of an authoritative male presence. Of course I was rather startled and turned mentally to my Inner Teacher and my spirit guides, whom I had had for many years, for guidance. I.T. and my spirit guides reassured me that this entity was one of their “brothers” and that I could safely work with him if I chose. I was advised to contact the entity the following day during my regular meditation. I then returned to normal consciousness and informed my friends about my experience. The next day in meditation I reconnected with the entity, without the need of a crystal. This being gave me the name he uses, Sir Garrod, and explained something of his nature, and we agreed to develop a working relationship, primarily so that he could communicate with other humans. Since that time it is not unusual for me to have internal conversations with both I.T. and Sir Garrod. Sir Garrod describes himself as an energy being who does not exist in our reality. He says he and I meet “in the space where our realities intersect.” If we could see him with our physical eyes, he would appear as a globe of light. Since he does not have a physical body, he is not either male or female and does not even have a name. The human persona he uses makes it easier for us to relate to him. He is one of many, many such beings who choose to be teachers, or “facilitators of spiritual evolution,” as he terms it. These beings work with all sentient life forms in all realities. He chose to work with humans, and he also chose to learn about humans by becoming one, once. He incarnated as a knight in France during the ninth century, when he was called Sir Garrod. He told me that as soon as he became human, he made all of the usual human mistakes. He forgot who he was and why he was here; awareness of his true nature was completely blocked from his conscious mind. I understood that he had become a rather cold and unfeeling person primarily interested in the acquisition and manipulation of power. He was not a fighting knight, instead becoming involved in the politics of the Church. He found the sexual aspect of humanness uninteresting and only engaged in the act once, during adolescence. Sir Garrod’s thirst for power angered many, and eventually he was forced to flee for his life and take refuge in a monastery which was home to a cloistered order. He was required to take a vow of silence and did not speak for about two years. Then a traveling priest, whom Sir Garrod describes as a simple holy man, visited the monastery and helped him to reawaken somewhat to his spiritual nature. Eventually he left the monastery and returned to the world to make amends for his past mistakes. By experiencing life in human form, Sir Garrod has an understanding of our nature, the limitations of our perception, our hopes and dreams and fears. He comes to us with gentleness, compassion and love and without judgment, to help us reawaken to our true nature as multidimensional beings of unconditional loving energy. In explaining why he connected with me in particular, he said that his energy patterns and mine were aligned to each other because the choices we had made during our individual existences had formed those patterns. “We attract non-physical friends in the same way we attract friends who have physical bodies.” Sir Garrod and I agreed to try to work together for the benefit of others. He uses my body only with my permission, takes very good care of it while he has it, and leaves when I want. I am fully conscious throughout the process, almost superconscious at times. Sir Garrod is connected with all of his fellow energy beings, so that in a way he is part of a larger group mind. We benefit from the awareness of not only Sir Garrod as an individual but also all of his co-teachers. For this reason he often refers to himself in the plural. He also has the ability to connect with any other spirits that are appropriate, depending on the needs of the client. The day after our conversation, two days after I first saw him at the party, two women whom I had never met before came to my house for a previously arranged psychic reading. Sir Garrod spoke with the first woman for about an hour and a half, and with the second for an hour. Both women felt his information was accurate and helpful. That is how I started physically channeling Sir Garrod. Channeling Sir Garrod does not make me special. He says that if everyone on the planet wanted to start channeling their own individual entity, there would be more than enough energy beings like himself to satisfy everyone, and no one needs to channel. Everyone is entitled to learn in his or her own way. The ultimate lesson is always unconditional love. I look forward to hearing from you. Light and Love,Bernice Kelman, Underhill, VT
