PRAISE FOR
The Book of Freedom
“The words spoken through Paul Selig in The Book of Freedom ring as true as
any that have ever been written. Like a steady drumbeat drawing us toward our
soul’s highest potential, this book is the crown jewel of the mastery trilogy—the
most important spiritual work of our time. The message continues to unfold in a
way that is deeply impactful for both a first-time reader or a longtime follower of
Paul’s work. The Book of Freedom has profoundly influenced my life, and I am
honored to help shout from the rooftops, ‘We are free, we are free, we are free!’”
—Aubrey Marcus, New York Times–bestselling author of Own the Day, Own Your Life, and founder
and CEO of Onnit
“If you have not yet encountered the channeled teachings of Paul Selig, you are
in for a treat. Rarely does one encounter spiritual teachings of such directness,
lucidity, and relevance. In a world where there are many claims of higher
consciousness and psychic insight, Paul is a profound and authentic voice. The
teachings of the Guides ring true again and again. If you already know
something of these teachings, you will find here a new wealth of insight into the
stages of self-understanding that make it possible to live more fully from our
awake and compassionate core. The Book of Freedom is a powerful manual on
how to ‘walk the talk’ of authentic spiritual teaching—integrating our spiritual
selves with our lived human lives. This a very welcome addition to the literature
of work on consciousness.”
—Russ Hudson, coauthor of The Wisdom of the Enneagram
“The Book of Freedom calls us all into the same kingdom of heaven Jesus
announced two thousand years ago—experienced through a radical shift in
perception beyond the known world of judgment and prescription into the
resonance of divinity in all. Finding freedom from the prisons that hold us
captive to fear and unworthiness is like being reborn into a whole new world at
the cost of everything we think about ourselves and the nature of reality. This
awakening is the only journey that ultimately matters, and The Book of Freedom
is a trumpet that guides us home. May we all have ears to hear the song of
freedom sung to us in this beautiful offering of love.”
—Ted Dekker, New York Times–bestselling author of Rise of the Mystics
PRAISE FOR
The Mastery Trilogy
“Paul’s messages arrive from a consortium of unseen ‘Guides’ whose voices are
deeply ethical, penetratingly insightful regarding the foibles of human nature,
and unsparingly blunt about the possibilities and pitfalls facing us in the present
era. As an intellect, Paul, too, possesses these qualities and serves as a fine
instrument—a kind of Stradivarius of the soul—through which the Guides can
play their notes.”
—Mitch Horowitz, PEN Award–winning author of Occult America, One Simple Idea, and The
Miracle Club

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
PREFACE
There is no real creative joy in delivering a channeled book. There is no real
artistic satisfaction, because the words on the page are the words I am given
in sequence, as fast as I can speak them with no thought of what follows next.
There is no crafting of the manuscript, and no editing whatsoever except for the
occasional mispronounced, garbled, or dropped word in a sentence that was
spoken too quickly, and even those are exceedingly rare.
There is no personal thrill here and, oddly, when people come to me telling
me how deeply these books have moved them, transformed their experiences of
themselves and their world, I am happy for them but feel next to no satisfaction
for a job well done. These are not my books. My name appears on the covers
and, to that end, I feel a personal responsibility to be authentic in my questions
to the Source of the teaching because I do not want to be participatory to
something that could be confusing, or harmful, or too challenging to be known
as true.
But my experience of what comes through me, again and again, is that the
teaching is true, even when I don’t comprehend it. I am not a spiritual teacher or
guru and I do not want to be. I want no one’s authority and the Guides that come
through me say, also, that the true teacher is the God within, and they are here to
show us the way to that so that we may know our own sovereignty and
experience the divinity that is our birthright.
I understand, on a certain level, that this is true and so I have continued,
lecture after lecture, group after group, to show up for this work even though I
can’t always say that my own life is necessarily a testament to this teaching.
Perhaps one day it will be. I hope so.
I had asked about my role once in channel, when I had made one of my many
inquiries about my own progress, my own perceived failings in the face of some
of the teaching, my own challenges with weight, or loneliness, or the sense of
separation I can feel at times from the somewhat more “normal” life I had lived
as an academic prior to devoting myself full time to this work. The answer I had
been given, right or wrong, was that my job, by my agreement, was to hold the
been given, right or wrong, was that my job, by my agreement, was to hold the
door open for others and when they passed through, I could follow.
At the close of this book, the Guides welcome the readers of this text to a very
new life. A very new awareness of their own divinity in form, a new
understanding of responsibility for oneself and one’s world. They call their
students across the threshold, joyously, emphatically, to come and partake in
what they call the Kingdom, described by them as the awareness of God in all
manifestation. I have been invited now to follow, and I hope that I do and that I
can.
The promise of this book, the sixth in a sequence of teachings on the
evolution of consciousness and the realization of the divine in form, was made in
the very first dictated text, I Am the Word, that was delivered through me over
the course of two and a half weeks in 2009, “the Christ in man is an event that
happens.”
They say it has happened, is happening, and we are welcome to it.
The door is open. I hope to see you all on the other side of what we have
known, to what we all may know and experience and discover on the other side
of the threshold. Thank you all for being my companions on this strange journey
that has been the delivery of these texts. The Guides say that there will be more.
Blessings.
Paul Selig

Introduction
THE CHRIST IN MANIFESTATION
Day One
Now when we teach you about what you are, you need to understand we are not
making you do anything. We don’t decide for you. We claim you as you truly
are and you can go into agreement with that vibrationally in accord with us—
vibrational accord, yes.
Now as you say yes to this teaching, you confirm it for yourselves in the lives
you live. We don’t give you permission to decide for us—why should you give
us permission to decide for you? But we may confirm a choice that you will
make, that the Divine as you is here as you, and we will say we can do this
because it is always so. Do you understand this? It is always so. Agree to it or
not, it is still so.
Now when we confirm you and we say your name—“you are free, you are
free, you are free”—we announce a truth, an ever-true truth, and you confirm it.
The choice is yours to confirm. But by your confirmation you adapt and align to
the vibrational intention that has been claimed for you. “You are free.” Like it or
not, agree to it or not, what else could you possibly be?
Now when you choose this, choose to move into accord, the life you live
begins in increments to transform itself to the realization of truth that is ever
here. To realize something is to know it, and while we know you are free, and
the True Self that you are knows you are free as well, the confirmation of it has
not claimed itself in manifestation as the life you live. And our confirmation of
you, “you are free”—in encoding in the field you hold, confirmed by you as you
say, “I am free” in confirmation to our claim—claims the field, the auric field, if
you wish, in vibrational accord with what you have chosen. First the field must
be assumed and claimed in this way, and then the life you live must move into
accord to it.
