Treating Gods Transactionally

Author: A.S.

Hello my brothers and sisters,

This is not a channeled message. It’s simply a message written by me, the guy who normally channels these messages.

Today I want to talk about magick.

I spell magick with ck to distinguish it from stage magic. This is a convention that other people use as well.

But then, what is magick?

I don’t claim to be an expert on the topic, and my personal views are influenced by things I’ve heard from people whose names I don’t remember and can’t easily find. So if some of these ideas originated from you, feel free to claim credit in the comment section.

But here’s my personal view:

Scientists think that matter creates consciousness. Magick users (and perhaps others too) think that consciousness creates matter.

Magick, then, is consciously working with energy or spiritual beings. And because consciousness creates and affects matter, consciously working with energy can have impacts that the average person doesn’t expect.

Often magick uses some kind of energy to powers a spell, plus an intention — what you want the energy to do.

So for example, one form of magick is sex magick, practiced either by yourself (masturbation), with a partner, with multiple partners or even in an orgy context.

Some Pleiadians occasionally participate in sex magick orgies. Why not? It’s effective and fun (for some people), so why wouldn’t they? Magick isn’t bad or good, it’s what you do with it.

Sex magick works by the participants setting the same intention together, having sex, and then focusing on and visualizing the desired outcome before, during and after the orgasm.

So the energy being used during sex magick is sexual energy.

Crystals have an energy that can be used for magick as well.

You can also ask angels for help and if they think it’s a worthy cause, they’ll help you with their energy. For example, a spell could just be saying or thinking:

“I am having an amazing month [or replace this with another intention of your choice, using the present tense]. It’s happening in accordance with the highest divine blueprint. I’m asking wise and benevolent beings, forces and aspects of existence to contribute to this, including Ganesha. Thank you, now now now”

Does this work? It works for me, so long as my intention is something that is indeed in accordance with the highest divine blueprint, and I’m not being blocked by what my soul wants (it might want something uncomfortable to happen in order for me to learn a lesson), or by subconscious limiting beliefs.

Here, the energy that powers the spells are just my own natural energy, plus “wise and benevolent beings, forces and aspects of existence, including Ganesha.” This way I’m including angels, and many other beings besides.

Why am I including Ganesha? Well, I personally enjoy working with him and find him to be a great asset to my magick.

I’m not claiming that what I’m doing is the only or the best way to do magick. I’m just sharing what’s working for me.

But then, if I’m saying “wise and benevolent beings, forces and aspects of existence, including Ganesha” — does that mean that Ganesha isn’t wise, or isn’t benevolent?

It doesn’t mean that. Ganesha is wise and benevolent.

I simply had a conversation with him.

I wasn’t willing to worship Ganesha, or be devotional, in the conventional way that someone might worship a god.

And Ganesha wasn’t willing to help if I just said “wise and benevolent beings, forces and aspects of existence.” He’s included in the definition, but he wasn’t willing to help.

But Ganesha was willing to help me if I said “wise and benevolent beings, forces and aspects of existence, including Ganesha.” Why? Because then I’m “paying” Ganesha with my focus / attention / energy.

Us Earth humans are incredibly powerful beings — our power is just very unrefined. However, even just us thinking about a god or mentioning them, empowers that god.

So Ganesha considered it sufficient payment if I just said “including Ganesha”, even in situations where no other Earth human hears my words.

The metaphor that Ganesha used to explain this to me is: “if you think or say my name, you’re giving me a substantial amount of metaphorical iron ore (energy). I’m then happy to give you my aid, which you can think of as an iron pan. It’s a good deal for you, because you have plenty of iron ore but have trouble making an iron pan out of it. And it’s a good deal for me, because I can easily turn some of your iron ore into an iron pan, give you the pan and keep the remainder for myself.”

Hence the title: treating gods transactionally.

Thanks, Ganesha.

To be clear, I’m not claiming my approach is the best or the only way. Being devotional has advantages, including for the person who is devotional.

In fact, not all gods or goddesses will accept or even tolerate this transactional approach. I talked to a goddess one time who demanded that I engage in an act of worship before she was even willing to have a conversation with me (I hadn’t asked her for any favors). So I’m not saying that this transactional approach is a good way to approach gods or goddesses in general.

Some Earth human magick users will say something like: “if you want to work with a god, it’s good to do a small ritual for them, or give them a small offering. Obviously the god actually bending the material world in your favor is a far greater thing than the ritual or the offering you’re doing, however that minor thing you do for the god is just a sign of respect.”

Now the respect might be one aspect of it, but from my point of view, the god is being well-compensated for their action. Namely, the payment is the energy that you give them by simply focusing on them during the ritual or offering. After all, where attention goes, energy flows — so thinking about Ganesha gives him energy.

To be clear, Ganesha isn’t parasitizing. So it’s not like we only have ten kilos of iron ore in our lifetime, and if we ask Ganesha for a favor, we permanently spend one kilo of iron ore and for the rest of our lives we only have nine kilos left.

It’s more that we’re a constantly flowing fountain of iron ore (energy). So if we spend some time thinking about Ganesha and we mention his name and we ask for a specific favor, then he gets iron ore that he considers sufficient payment to slightly bend the physical world in our favor. But we lose nothing.

Now granted, I might be more energetically powerful than the average person, so in exchange for his aid maybe Ganesha would expect a small ritual, and therefore a lengthier amount of attention, from an average person.

And maybe Ganesha is willing to aid people who really need it, even without payment, and Ganesha merely wasn’t willing to help me because I asked for something that I wanted but didn’t strictly need. I don’t know, I’m not channeling Ganesha here.

But what I do want to point out is: this is how powerful us Earth humans are. Us just thinking about a god for a few seconds, or maybe for some people a few minutes, is enough payment for that god to be happy to bend reality slightly in our favor.

So even our momentary attention is incredibly powerful, and produces a noticeable amount of energy.

It’s important to realize that.

And how awe-inspiring will we be once we start learning to make iron pans ourselves?

And shouldn’t we be able to just disempower undesired things simply by not giving attention to them?

With all my love,

A.S.

    I would also look at it as cocreation. Many speak of “anchoring the light” — you open up to higher realms and by that enable it to pour their energy into dense 3D/4D earth. Same with ETs, they need people on the surface who connect their consciousness with them to more effectively help energetically on our plane.
    Now gods, I am not sure, maybe there are the Source created beings and also the “tulpas” — created by us humans. For the latter it would be just logical they need to be fueled by us.
    Then, ‘independent being gods’, if they were completely indifferent like spiritual mercenaries I wouldn’t like them much to be honest. I assume they have very individual perspective and alignment. In my eyes it’s just a question of balance, does “Do this for me. Bye.” feel good or right? It’s an interaction with a being, a person, an entity and they might like being treated in a certain way, as everyone of us does.

    Seems to me that making deals and payments to “gods” and spirits is how we got human and animal sacrifice and other demonic practices. Any spirit being that demands payment is not of the light.

      I don’t think it’s unfair for an Earth human healer to ask for reasonable payment.

      Similarly, I don’t think it’s unfair for a god to ask for reasonable payment.

      Why would the former be fine, but the latter be bad?

      Now, certainly I’m not intending to sacrifice humans or animals to a god, or do anything evil, and absolutely there are gods I have no intention of connecting with. But just some attention, or a small ritual, doesn’t cost me anything other than a short amount of time and perhaps a trivial financial cost (say a candle or a cup of wine). And for some gods, the energy they get from that is adequate payment for them.

      Working with a god doesn’t have to be a slippery slope to animal sacrifice.

      That said, while I haven’t connected with that many gods, I tend to think of them as either evil (avoid) or neutral (fine to work with, so long as you have no illusions). So the ones I’ve connected with indeed aren’t of the light in the sense that they’re not explicitly focused on helping others or serving Source, as angels for example are. And indeed, I usually work with and generally prefer working with angels and positive galactics.

      But then again, neutral / gray isn’t the same as evil / dark.

      Fleshy creatures who demand services are not exactly spiritual beacons either.

    I’m kinda missing the “everyone is doing their best” angle, I don’t recall it being presented yet but it would seemingly mingle well with the scope of these articles. At least for me, it never fails to elicit a rational framework for compassion.

      Yeah, good point.

      There’s an already-channeled message about that topic from Tunia in the queue. Currently I plan to send it in to this site on 16 May (meaning it’ll appear one or a few days later), although it’s possible that a more urgent message jumps the queue and pushes that one back.

      Why do I have a queue? Back when I had youtube voice actors, I had to have the channelings ready well beforehand to give them time to do the voice acting. Now, the Hakann voice actor quit and the Tunia voice actress died (and my youtube channel isn’t very big so I just went back to an AI voice). But I guess I just stuck with the queue system — if I ever get sick or crazy busy, I won’t miss weeks this way. Most of my messages aren’t very time-sensitive anyway, and if one is, I can always have it jump the queue.

      Raksha knew that channeling was coming because he’s a personal friend of mine, and he’s already read that channeling.

    Incidentally, I have 3 small Ganesha statuettes on my desk. Some people gifted them to me. I am not sure what a « god » is, though. Maybe I should try and ask Ganesha for something ? Although there isn’t anything that I would like that comes to mind.

          I actually did a small ritual in my mind and asked for a bigger Ganesha statuette. My sister was just gifted one out of nowhere when I visited her today. If I had ask a bit more seriously, maybe my sis would have proposed to offer it to me haha. It’s not everyday that I see a Ganesha statuette.

    I believe that truly understanding the nature of who you’re asking favors from is probably the most concerning matter in this situation, and more importantly, HOW we learn to either make frying pans for ourselves or to cook our food differently.

    There is this story about a desperate woman who sought the Buddha to magically revive her dead child, and he said that to accomplish such magic would require a small piece of clothing from a family that had never experienced death. And as she fails the quest to find it, she also learns how ALL families she thought she already knew had to cope with such a misfortune at least once, and her grief is somewhat diminished.

    Similarly, the conditions imposed by the ‘gods’ we seek to help us in our human affairs are often already a part of their help, their “business model” if you will. You asked Ganesha for things you believe you ‘want but don’t strictly need’ – It’s appropriate to ask him because he’s also indirectly in charge of inspiring such things by just being himself; and likewise saying his name because you ‘want but don’t strictly need’ seems not only appropriate, but functional for the magick.

    Goddesses who require adoration to even become accessible are functional for people who have desires they don’t care to understand before pursuing, it’s legitimate. Now, regarding the transactional view of things: is it a ‘transaction’ if your kidney cells are protected by white blood cells they help keep clean?

    What I have learned from Astrology is that everyone has a unique way to establish relations with entities they do not comprehend. Some feel empowered by the notion they have something to trade for while others are offended that it is not given freely as birthright, and neither is wrong really, but they won’t mix until a certain level of awareness is achieved.

      Let’s keep it simple: I don’t believe that there’s anything “transactional” in the True universe (outside this matrix). Love is the only currency in that “place.” Gratitude is the note of exchange.

      Anything else is part of this dream we fell into.

      “Giving birth and nourishing,
      making without possessing,
      expecting nothing in return.
      To grow, yet not to control:
      This is the mysterious virtue.”

      Tao Te Ching, Ch. 9

        If there’s any form of currency or note of exchange involved, be it love or gratitude (or ‘name energy’), it seems legit to call it transactional.

        Whoever wrote those words may not have received a penny for them, but at the very least they expected them to be understood by someone, which makes it a transaction.

    I would never connect with a being that needs something of me in order to connect or assist.

    A being in true oneness and unity would only want to help us bridge the gap to get closer to oneness if it is compatible with our path/free will and their own.

    A being that requires a transaction is existing in a state similar to our own, such as an astral being. Beings that are in struggle/battle with “dark forces” or so forth are also in a similar state to us – they are operating in a polarized state.

    All are apart of oneness, even if the being doesn’t realize it and sees themselves as separate from another.

    Even through my experiences as a human, the experience of just knowing I had helped in a unique way would be “payment” enough.

    If I was a higher being, I would certainly have no need to siphon or take anything from another, unless it was truly their will and exactly what they needed to learn from in that moment in their experience – even then I doubt I would have any need to actually “take” that energy.

    Very helpful, A.S.

    I like asking the various ones for their help, order my steps, saying thank you, but this puts more depth into the process for me.

    Admittedly, the rest of the time I think about them, is when I’m complaining🤭, or begging for help, ha

    Which is a bit of a laugh, I’m seeing, because I have a resistance to so called surrendering to the higher ones.

    No matter how the definition of surrender is reworded, it still sticks in my throat.
    I’d rather work hand in hand with god, etc.

    Your article has prompted me to connect more of the dots about my victim mindset, in the way I relate to my higher soul, etc.

    I’ll bet your goddess lady wanted prepayment, because she’s been stiffed too many times by 3 d up and coming souls😂
    “I’ll never forget, you, goddess lady!” -she helped, they forgot her, and her iron ore turned into a box of pocket lint.

    Although it’s commendable to keep spinning my wheels in the quicksand, for lack of a better way, these perspectives have shown me a way to get some traction!

    This could even be a transmuting opportunity of generational garbage for me, we were raised to bitch and complain, not to give thanks, to god 🤦‍♀️

    I appreciate you, A.S.💞
    (The sex magick discussion, may be too polarizing for some, but I’m glad you “went there”. Nicey nicey dull talk accomplishes very little, imho)

    I read your post with an open mind, and have been rewarded with a tremendous domino effect of self realizations 🥳😊💎

    Yeah, this doesn’t feel empowering. If I communicate with guides or angels it’s about requesting some inspiration or guidance–mostly for staying connected to what’s essential. It’s hard to imagine that these beings “need” anything from us, like we’re tipping some workers at the coffee shop for pouring our coffee.

    I never think of “gods” or “goddesses.” As if that’s a title you get when you’ve logged so many sales.

    I have to state that there is a reason every article finds itself posted on era of light be they good bad or indifferent, the happy point of course is that they are messages that mean different things to different people and everything in between, so i would say thank you A.S even though your message means little to me. love to all.

    The more I read on Era, the less resonance I feel. A.S. I think you are missing the whole point of “humans are so powerful.” And I feel these entities you channel and talk to are other aspects of you or trickster spirits pretending to be of the light. These tricksters are notorious for being transactional. I wish you well AS, but will be skipping your articles from here on in.

    1. A.S.

      Is a very powerful person, someone who refuses to work together with others and who insists on doing everything alone?

      Would it be smart for the most powerful country on Earth to have no allies and to never work together with anyone?

      I don’t think it’s “powerful” to refuse to work together with other non-evil beings in mutually beneficial, non-evil ways.

      People tend to think in black and white, but some beings (such as certain gods) are gray. That doesn’t make them evil trickster spirits.

      Yeah, humans have a whole lot of raw power. But that doesn’t mean that the average person is able to tap into that and create their dream life. So I personally don’t think it’s sufficiently helpful to just tell people “you are powerful, go manifest your dream life.” Maybe that approach works for some people but it’s not working for everyone all the time.

      A.S. I’m on the same page as Susan. In the past your articles have been extremely divisive. I read one in particular that I found very disturbing and remembered you because of it. Now you’re telling us there’s a transactional component involved? Just what the hell are you tapping into buddy? Huge yellow flag A.S. This in no way sounds of the light. Proceed with caution sir.

        think there is a misunderstanding. A.S was talking about some specific beings called “gods” (I don’t know what that type of being is and maybe that point would require clarification).

        Therefore, Tunia and co are not of such a kind. About A.S’s messages being divise, well, everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but in my eyes this is a good thing. I can ask ChatGPT to offer some comfortable channelings. Food for thoughts are a good thing in my eyes.

        If it was about sex, I’m afraid it had the same transactional component all along, sorry. Maybe we should delay ‘the talk’ for a few more years? Seems very hard to keep dodging the elephant in the desk. No pun intended.

        To avoid possible confusion, if I post an article containing a Hakann channeling, that has nothing to do with gods or with transactionality.

        Almost all of my messages are channelings, and I channel Pleiadians (unless explicitly said otherwise), and I’m not in any way transactional with the Pleiadians I channel.

        That’s why I was very explicit at the top of this article that this is a non-channeled, written article (as opposed to nearly all of my other articles, which are channeled).

        “Transactional component” sounds really sinister. But I don’t get anything from channeling / writing and posting weekly articles, other than about $7 in monthly donations. I’m not selling any courses or workshops or products. My life would be easier if I didn’t channel (or in this case, write) messages, but I do it because I think I’m making a small positive contribution this way.
