Hi Beth,

Thank you for such a wonderful set of insights and remarks. As someone who was suddenly awakened into channeling without any desire to do so, I quite understand the distinction between outer work and inner planes. I've come to appreciate how much work can still happen on inner planes for people with whom I work in a setting that might not seem remotely spiritual, and in that way, I am still doing the work without any kind of remuneration.

To me it's a beautiful practice to engage the world as you do, with a certain kind of training and expertise that provides income while also doing spiritual work in a less explicit way. I too have received similar messages about being taken care of, but in the context of being asked to do the work explicitly and letting go of other income streams, like the law, that demand too much of my energy.

In the end, both ways of working -- the less programmatic approach or the publicized approach, as you put it -- are valid expressions of spirit when they feel authentic and not driven by an attachment to or repulsion by money.

Thank you again for your engagement. My very best to you.
