Introducing Guan, my soul presence, who is 10, 200 years old, and who has reincarnated hundreds of times within those 10, 200 years. Those of you who have read our book, Channeling Thanes, probably has gotten to know a little bit more about my soul self, her name is Guan or Guan-a-me, as Thanes calls her. Guan is her name, and the "a-me" is what Thanes says is my personal style: determined! So, "a-me," is Ronezian means the "determined one." Yes, that does seem to wrap me up in a bow. Anyway, I wasn't getting a feel for what she looked like, so Thanes said if I draw, she will guide me to see what she looks like. I was kind of surprised, it wasn't as I expected. On the other hand, everyone in the Afterlife is beautiful because they are frequencies of light energy. This is what a light energy for this soul is projecting, a beautiful freqency. Everyone has a light energy and will also project an amazing light, so try to envision your personal soul’s light. Once you have begun work with your guide, you may move in one of a number of directions. Some choose mediumship with the Afterlife, while some choose to work with extraterrestrials, some with both the Afterlife and Extraterrestrials, while others prefer to work with specialty activities, orbs, spiritual photography, soul balancing, aura balancing, or any number of psychic or non-ordinary activities. While some prefer hands on, like Reiki, or some spiritual counseling, others enjoy the detail of writing about these different ways of manifesting behaviors. *Read more about her in our book, Channeling Thanes.
When one has a spiritual transformation, it is a radical reorganization of one’s identity, meaning, and purpose in life. About 25 years ago, I began to reflect, as I began my journey to uncover my soul self. Soul searching writers like Sharon Janis, state that “Spiritual Transformation is a fundamental change in a person's sacred or spiritual life. In psychology, spiritual transformation is understood within the context of an individual's meaning system, (or beliefs) especially in relation to concepts of the sacred or ultimate concern. Some of the distinguishing factors are: Spiritual transformation is a profound change in the self. The change is not simply a matter of maturation but is typically identified with a process (sudden or gradual) by which the transformed self is achieved. This change in the self is radical in its consequences – indicated by such things as a new centering of concern, interest, and behaviors. This new sense of self is perceived as “higher” or as emancipation from a previous dilemma or predicament.
Spiritual transformation is thus understood as a radical reorganization of one’s identity, meaning, and purpose in life. Pargament (1997) suggests that this transformation occurs when an individual begins to feel connected to a spiritual force, and some people may identify this force as God, Christ, Allah, Buddha. This force, he posits, is not only transcendent but also significant to and shaping one’s immediate experience. Those who experience a spiritual transformation feel in touch with this sacred spiritual force that changes one’s worldview, range of emotions, and behaviors.
They may go through a long term process of refining this force from the unknown, in a gradual awakening to the known. In my process, I uncovered my own longing in both the presence of my high self, through the typical channels, and the atypical opening to experience symbols of many kinds to express these forces and guides. My first guide was a crane, called the teacher, and she shows up in my first book in 1992, which wasn’t published until 2004: Searching for the Waters of Antiquity. To the ancient Chinese, the Crane was a symbol of justice and longevity. The Chinese believe that a crane totem entering your life could signal recovery of what was lost to you. Indeed that was the case. Crane reflects the importance of not dividing your attention between more than one project rather focusing on just the more important one. The Crane can teach you how to celebrate your creative resources and keep them alive, by having the proper focus in your life. Later my guide, residing in the Afterlife begins to show herself to me as I begin to remember our relationship. About 2013, she appears in my dreams and I discuss her with trusted friends, teachers, and explore our history as we write Channeling Thanes, and she educates me on my many lives with her. Thanes was never blue, but I saw her that way, due to my mixed feelings about being separated from the rest of society through my new found self image.
My first teacher was Ms. Crane and she came to me when I began to write, “Searching for the Waters of Antiquity.” Ms. Crane, identified herself as the teacher, and through this artistic form, she opened my heart to my higher energy, and the four rooms of humanity’s desires. The other versions of Thanes came to me as I raised my consciousness and collective awareness of all that I am and are to be in the physical and non physical existence. Thanes finally presented herself, and my higher self, in one fell swoop as I was introduced to all aspects of my higher power. In 2013 Thanes was very active, sending me to my THomb, my friend in the Afterlife, a group member, and someone that I lived many lives with.
Thanes took on many visual images in my mind’s eye as I learned more about the Afterlife, Extraterrestrials, and what the visions mean. About 2010-2011 her form began to take on a human look as I sifted through the biased views of the internet, movies, Facebook rants, and other distortions. She sent the lady in blue in various ways, first draped as a standard grey, somewhat comical, with extra long eyelashes and a sparkly shawl to show her femininity, her message is that these types of fabrications were an exaggeration. Her lady in blue eventually became a blond, then a redhead. During this time, the only messages were in the framework of the book, Channeling Thanes. By the end of that book, I had a very good idea of who she was, her personality, and of course, how she really looked. I suspect that her version of herself changed depending on what Star Trek TV show I may have been watching.
At first she enjoyed the Star Trek shipboard life, and would have ongoing dialogues about shipboard process, technology, her delight at recreations of space; the people, which she said were actually pretty much as they were. The one huge thing that she really balked at were the many distorted faces posing as other cultures, a complete fabrication, she noted! Otherwise, Star Trek was enjoyable to watch, until she got upset with the constant violence, and the use of “beaming up and down,” which she laughed at, saying that our particles would be scattered like dust in space. Besides the physics of beaming, Star Trek had it wrong with their timeline—a billion years ago was the last space fight, after which there was a long investment in interplanetary discussions, treaties, and the organization of the IFP, or the Intergalactic Federation of Planets. Another irritation for her, she said it has always been the “Intergalactic” Federation of Planets, noting that the organizations covered all of the known universe, not one galaxy. One day, she revealed herself as she really was in the physical world—As the stunning redhead that she is, full of vim and vigor, funny, outrageous and focused on the good of humanity on planet Earth, and all over the universe. This journey was a long road, with many twists, and turns that took me deeper into the physical world of space, and myself as a conscious person. Dr. Shirley Ryan
This is my guide Thanes. She came to me in different forms over the past 25 years, first as my beloved symbol of a crane, then as a ETI in the form as a feminine “grey,” with long eyelashes. Then later as she appears above. She is firm, but gentle, funny, and yet organized in her revelations of pursuit. If you are here on this website, you either know you have a guide, or are moving towards the goal of realizing your new you, your direction, and the revelation to be guided towards higher consciousness, and soul recognition.
