The transmission
Paul Selig (b. 1961) is an American author and a Yale-educated former academic (he directed an MFA program) who became one of the most prominent contemporary channels.
He reports that following an “energetic awakening” in 1987 he developed clairaudient and clairvoyant abilities, and he now delivers teachings he says are dictated by a collective of non-physical “Guides,” speaking and writing them in real time.
His books — including I Am the Word, The Book of Mastery, The Book of Knowing and Worth, and Beyond the Known — are presented as direct transcriptions. The Guides’ teaching centers on recognizing one’s inherent divine worth, “realizing” the self in alignment with the Divine, and re-articulating identity through affirmations such as “I Know Who I Am.” His scholarly background lends his channeling unusual credibility in literary and spiritual circles.
