Author IntroductionHave you ever had a thought or an inspiration appear in your awareness, an idea or an insight that arrived from what seemed like nowhere? That is, in the simplest terms, a subconscious aspect of yourself providing information to your conscious mind. Most of us experience this only occasionally, and when we do, it can feel random or haphazard. What I have learned to do, over twenty years of practice, is take that same pathway and make it focused and intentional to refine a predictable, repeatable channel for information to flow from non-local consciousness, through my subconscious, and into my conscious mind, where it becomes language I can write down and share. This is what I mean by conscious streaming. The word most people will recognize for what I do is channeling, and I will use that word in these pages because it is the more familiar one. But conscious streaming is more precise. Both name the same experience.I have been able to tune into non-local consciousness since I was a small child. My grandmother was the one who introduced me to communicating with the non-physical. Grandma McNally knew that there was more to life than we were taught, and she inspired me to look closer and listen deeper.For the past seven years, the conscious streaming I have practiced has carried information from a non-physical intelligence I have come to know as The Collective. This is the first time I am sharing their teachings beyond a small group of friends. I take the responsibility of bringing this material to a larger audience very seriously. My role is to receive what The Collective offer and present it in a form any reader, of any age, can engage with directly. It is with humility, integrity, accessibility, and care that I take these teachings public.My professional life has been spent in education as a teacher, principal, superintendent, and university adjunct professor. What I have learned over the forty years of working with students, colleagues, and communities is that the most important question was never about content or curriculum. It was always about the interior life of the learner, and what genuinely opens or closes a person from the inside. My hope is that these teachings will help you remember the answers to those internal questions, whether you are an adult, a teenager, or a child.I believe sharing these teachings is what I am called to do at this moment in my life. My desire for the books is simple: that they offer a perspective allowing for deeper understanding of yourself, and more meaningful relationships with yourself and the people in your life. The Collective do not tell you what to believe. They speak to what you already carry, and invite you to remember.In gratitude,Brian E. Davis
