My name is Ron Churchman.  I was introduced to Elias in May, 1995.  I was asked if I'd like to attend a session, and out of curiosity I agreed. My intention was to attend one session to "check it out," and that would be it.  This was my first encounter with "channeling" or this type of information, except for a brief encounter with the Seth material in the 70's.  My main thought in the first session was that the message being delivered felt and sounded very "right" to me in spite of the illogical, irrational (according to my beliefs) way this information was being delivered.  For some strange reason though, this information spoke directly to the logical, rational side of me, and I was almost instantly and totally fascinated.  I have missed only a handful of sessions (out of nearly 300) since.  The phenomenon of channeling in my opinion is secondary (although very intriguing) because the information, as opposed to some other "channeled" material that I've read since, stands quite well on its own.

I was first made aware of Paul/Patel in the early sessions.  He was introduced by Elias as an essence that had much information to deliver, and would most likely, if I so chose, deliver it through me.  To tell you the truth, I never expected it to happen.  I held this belief for nearly a year.  As the sessions progressed over that year, I slowly resigned myself to the fact that this essence of Patel was indeed strongly connected to me in some way, and that it was quite probable that I would engage him in an energy exchange at some point.  On the evening of June 10th, 1996, I felt a definite pull to the keyboard.  It was as though I'd been "grabbed by the scruff of the neck" and led to the computer to type something that was totally foreign to me.  These sessions are all done by means of "automatic writing" via computer keyboard.

For the most part, Paul/Patel delivers information that is not dissimilar to the information that Elias delivers.  However, it seems to be of a more personal nature than the Elias material.  Most of the exchanges are either in response to specific questions asked, or are a complement to the Elias material. Paul refers to individuals in these sessions by their essence names.  Michael is Mary, Lawrence is Vicki, Shynla is Cathy, and Olivia is Ron (me).  These four names come up most often in these sessions as they are most closely associated with me and have asked the most questions. 

Although I have been doing this for a while now, it's still quite "new" to me and I'm still having some difficulty "letting myself go" enough to engage this phenomenon as often as I probably could.  I've been assured by many folks that this information is quite valid for them and that I should continue.  I find this an extremely interesting experience and do plan to continue.  I have always been fond of interesting experiences!

I am very pleased to be involved in this phenomenon, and I am also grateful to Gerhard for developing this site.  I hope that you enjoy the information that has been presented here, and that it in some way helps you to understand that reality is a very interesting place to be.

Thanks, Ron
