The podcast's hosts are intrigued by Harris, noting the show's evolution from mental health to incorporating mystical and spiritual topics.
The hosts, Jonathan and Balik, express curiosity about having Lee Harris on the show, acknowledging that the podcast's scope has broadened over time. Initially focused on democratizing mental health, the show has increasingly explored the profound benefits of connecting to something greater than oneself, bridging scientific, mystical, and overlapping perspectives.
Harris's initial hesitation to be on the show stemmed from a perceived difference in the podcast's past focus, but he acknowledges its evolving nature.
Lee Harris admits he was curious why he was invited, as he observed the podcast a few years prior and felt he might not fit the typical guest profile then. However, he recognized the show's evolution to include a wider range of topics and guests from different walks of life, including those from the energetic and consciousness world.
The hosts, despite their rational backgrounds, are open to exploring spirituality and discerning valid insights from seemingly outlandish claims.
Jonathan Cohen shares his background as a skeptical seeker from a rational, practical, and logical upbringing. He emphasizes the importance of discerning information within spirituality and alternative medicine, acknowledging that while some concepts may seem 'out there,' they can hold validity when explained within their tradition, mythology, or underlying sense-making. He notes the need for caution with practices that appear 'weirder and stranger.'
Lee Harris's Personal Journey and Spiritual Awakening
Harris's childhood was marked by a heightened sensitivity to unspoken emotions and struggles with identity, including his sexuality and past bulimia.
Before his spiritual awakening, Lee Harris experienced the world as not quite making sense due to his empathy and sensitivity to people's unspoken feelings. He grappled with being gay in a time when it was perceived as a significant problem, fearing he wouldn't find love. He also recovered from bulimia after losing a substantial amount of weight as a teenager, which led him to observe how differently people treated him based on his appearance, sparking questions about human connection.
A pivotal tarot reading at 16 introduced Harris to spirituality, leading him to explore various self-growth and metaphysical practices.
At 16, a friend introduced Lee Harris to a tarot reading. The uncanny accuracy of the information, especially about his past, made him feel that something in the room was true. This experience opened him up to a deep dive into reading, studying, and exploring spirituality, self-growth, and metaphysics. A book by Shirley MacLaine, 'Out in a Limb,' was particularly influential.
Harris was initially skeptical of channeling, viewing it as an unnecessary 'performance,' preferring direct intuition.
While exploring spirituality, Lee Harris encountered channeling through a book and a personal experience. He found the intuitive aspect of a channeler impressive, as they knew deeply personal things and offered interesting future predictions. However, he questioned the need for them to close their eyes or use a different voice, feeling it was a 'performance.' He believed intuition was sufficient and explicit 'performances' were unnecessary for believers.
At 23, while on the subway, Harris experienced a life-altering telepathic communication from his 'guides'.
At age 23, on his way to work on the subway, Lee Harris was engaged in his usual self-critical thoughts and relationship judgments. Suddenly, a loud, clear voice from above his head stated, 'That's an interesting theory, but you're wrong. And here's why.' He confirmed he was not on drugs or drunk. The voice provided a shockingly true answer that calmed his mind and brought a distinct opening and feeling in his body, which he now recognizes as channeled energy.
The voice identified itself as his guides, leading to a relationship where Harris received consistent, non-pandering guidance.
After the initial voice spoke, Harris asked, 'What are you?' and received the answer, 'We are your guides.' He was not scared, finding the experience loving and comfortable, unlike how others might react. The only fear arose when he considered explaining it to others. The guides, through a spokesperson named Zachary, provided guidance that was always truthful and corrective, never pandering or judgmental, which profoundly impacted his perspective and life.
Harris's initial reaction to hearing voices was concern about schizophrenia, but he dismissed it due to the positive and helpful nature of the guidance.
Confronted with hearing voices that were not his own, especially 26 years ago when such phenomena were less understood, Harris's first thought was schizophrenia. However, he quickly reasoned that if the 'voices' were providing genuinely useful and supportive information, he would continue the connection rather than suppress it due to a label. He found the guidance beneficial and 'not blowing up the party,' so he chose to remain open to it.
The experience of receiving guidance from guides was not just informational but also a profound energetic and physical liberation.
The communication from his guides was more than just words; it was an energetic liberation. Harris describes a calming of his mind and an opening in his body, a feeling he now identifies as channeled energy. This wasn't just a mental download but a physical and energetic shift that fundamentally altered his experience of reality and himself.
The Nature of Channeling and Intuitive Connection
Harris believes everyone has access to spirit and their higher self, with guides acting as a supportive connection.
Lee Harris asserts that everyone is connected to other dimensions, spirit, and their higher self. He views guides not as external entities to be strictly followed, but as accessible wisdom voices. He uses the analogy of 'the guides' being a cover story for God, indicating that the origin of the information is less important than its transformative impact. He stresses that the core teaching is that we all have access to this inner wisdom and spiritual connection.
The distinction between internal thoughts and external guidance is subtle but marked by a difference in energetic and physical experience.
When asked how to differentiate between one's own thoughts and external guidance, Harris explains that while he doesn't have the definitive 'scientific' proof, the undeniable shift in his life and perspective was transformative. He notes that the information from his guides created a palpable energetic and physical change, a 'liberation energetically,' differentiating it from mere self-talk. He also mentions that evidence for the guidance came from its accuracy in predicting future events and providing insights into relationships that later proved true.
Channeling involves collaborating with guidance, not being a passive conduit, and requires openness and self-awareness.
Harris clarifies that channeling is not about being involuntarily pushed onto a stage but is a collaborative experience. He agrees with his guides that they use his human capacity for language and empathy, acknowledging that it's still a humanized version. He contrasts this with a rigid, 'spiritual' philosophy that treats humans as puppets. He believes that the heart frequency is a gateway on Earth, and love, in all its forms (friendship, family, romantic), is fundamental.
The names Zachary, Zachariah, and Zodora emerged as identifiers for the guides, representing different energetic expressions.
When Harris asked his guides for names, they offered Zachary as the lead spokesperson. Later, Zachariah and Zodora emerged. Zodora was understood as the feminine to Zachary's masculine, and Zachariah as a balance between the two. They later unified as one voice, emphasizing unity over differentiation. The number 88 also holds significance, linked to infinity and beyond comprehension, and interestingly, the 88 keys on a piano, an instrument Harris loves.
Channeling can be perceived through different senses and manifests physically, differentiating it from ordinary thought processes.
The hosts discuss how individuals who channel or have near-death experiences often receive overwhelming amounts of information ('downloads'). Harris explains that while he doesn't have a definitive 'scientific' explanation, the experience is distinct from internal thought. He notes that when channeling, his physical state can change, becoming redder or hotter, and his head might feel warmer, indicating a physiological shift beyond normal consciousness. This is different from simply thinking rationally.
Channeling is a form of flow state, similar to creativity, where information or inspiration comes through intuitively.
Harris defines channeling broadly as flowing with something one is good at, likening it to musicians channeling songs from the ethers. He recounts how his guides indicated they first connected with him through songwriting. Musicians like Bob Dylan have also described songs 'appearing' to them. This suggests a creative and intuitive process where external inspiration is accessed and translated.
The distinction between channeling and intuition lies in the source and the nature of the information received.
While intuition involves understanding and feeling from within, channeling implies receiving information from an external or higher source, often with a distinct energetic signature. Harris differentiates his role as an 'energy intuitive' (feeling energy, providing insights) from channeling (giving voice to guides). He explains that his role as an intuitive involves sensing psychological, emotional, and energetic states, while channeling involves receiving direct communication from entities like the 'Z's.'
Empaths can feel energy and emotions, but true intuitive ability involves interpreting those feelings and accessing deeper information.
Harris distinguishes between being an empath (feeling emotions) and being an intuitive (interpreting those feelings and receiving deeper information). He notes that empaths can become overwhelmed by the emotions of others and advises learning to manage this. Intuition goes further, allowing one to understand the context, potential causes, and even future implications of these feelings, which is crucial for guiding oneself and others effectively.
The guides communicate that humanity is meant to have diverse talents and unique roles, forming a collective 'jigsaw'.
The guides emphasize that everyone is meant to be unique, contributing their specific talents and abilities to the human collective, like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. They suggest that focusing on kindness and an open heart is more spiritually significant than accumulating knowledge without compassion. This highlights the importance of individual contribution and the interconnectedness of humanity.
Healing and spiritual growth are interconnected, with personal healing contributing to a higher planetary frequency.
Harris explains that one's personal journey of healing and growth contributes to elevating the planet's overall frequency. He cautions against the idea that individuals must 'save everyone' alone, emphasizing that healing is a collective endeavor. By addressing one's own 'stuff' and embodying love and balance, individuals become a positive influence, helping others navigate their own challenges. He notes that even negative experiences or interactions can serve as a 'healing force.'
The persecution of healers throughout history stems from religious and medical control, suppressing intuitive and spiritual knowledge.
Harris discusses the historical persecution of healers, linking it to religious and medical power structures that sought to control knowledge. He references the witch trials as an example of powerful, brilliant women being eliminated under false pretenses. He believes that society, particularly in the Western world, has suppressed these intuitive and spiritual connections, but people's innate ability to tap into spirit cannot be stopped.
The most surprising information received from guides often relates to historical facts or concepts that later prove true, but the focus is on usefulness, not just proof.
While not a scientific person, Harris has received information about parts of history or concepts that he later verified through research or observation. However, he emphasizes that the 'proof' isn't the primary goal; rather, it's about the usefulness of the channeled information. He finds it less surprising now as he understands that everything exists in the 'field' and it's about tapping into it. The focus is on being a vessel for guidance that helps people find themselves.
Current events like the Epstein drama are seen as 'smoke screens' to divert attention from a larger agenda of planetary control by a small shadow group.
Regarding the Epstein drama, the guides described it as a 'smoke screen' containing truth but used to distract from other issues. They have spoken about a goal of 'planetary control' by a small shadow group, an agenda that has been unfolding for a long time but is now surfacing publicly. This plays into a frequency battle between rising light and dark energies on the planet.
The Z's have indicated that more shocking revelations will emerge, contributing to a collective 'wake-up' driven by a frequency battle.
The guides predict that more information will emerge that will shock people, signifying a planetary wake-up. This process involves a frequency battle between rising consciousness and the dark forces seeking control. They suggest we are moving away from top-down control towards a 'people revolution,' reclaiming power and recognizing the system's corruption. They also noted that humanity could have been in a worse position a decade prior due to rising consciousness.
Harris's role is to make spirituality safe and grounded for others, acting as a relatable bridge between the spiritual and human experience.
Harris sees his purpose as making spirituality accessible and grounded, helping people explore their spiritual journeys without necessarily believing everything they hear from healers or gurus. He identifies as a human being having a spiritual experience, integrating both aspects. People find him relatable because he connects spiritual insights with everyday human struggles and growth, acting as a spiritual teacher and facilitator.
Romantic relationships have been a significant learning area for Harris, emphasizing the need for equality and partnership.
Despite being single, Harris reflects on romantic relationships as a key area of learning. Having recently gone through a divorce, he now seeks partnerships based on equality and mutual walking alongside each other. He views past relationships as growth experiences and is entering a new phase, unsure of what his next partnership will entail but prioritizing a balanced connection.
When channeling, Harris closes his eyes to bypass his own mind and prevent distraction, emphasizing the collaborative nature of the process.
To facilitate the channeling process and bypass his own mind, Lee Harris closes his eyes. He finds that channeling with eyes open can be distracting for both himself and the audience, leading people to focus on him rather than the message. His goal is to be a vessel for information designed to help people find themselves, not to be an object of attainment.
The Z's are a collective of 88 beings who can extend their connection to Source energy and access other dimensions.
Harris explains that the Z's are part of a larger collective of 88 beings who can extend to Source energy and access other dimensions. They are not fixed entities but can incorporate other beings to convey information. This collective unified into one voice around 2013, focusing on unity over individual differentiation, as they felt humanity needed unity more than segmentation.
The primary purpose of Lee Harris's work is to be useful, inviting people to look at their own energy, thoughts, and emotions.
Harris emphasizes that his main goal is to be useful to those who can benefit from his work, particularly his 'energy updates.' These updates help people feel seen, articulate what they are experiencing, and navigate their inner world. He sees himself as opening doorways for people to discover themselves, rather than providing definitive answers or performing. The focus is on aiding self-discovery and emotional regulation.
For those struggling to find footing in spirituality, the advice is to know your 'why,' understand your pain, and trust yourself.
Harris advises those seeking spirituality to understand their motivations, particularly what pain they might be trying to outrun. He stresses examining one's human story and wounds alongside spiritual seeking. Secondly, he emphasizes self-trust, cautioning against blindly believing any spiritual teacher's rigid rules. He advocates for a multi-dimensional approach, recognizing that spirituality is a vast playing field and personal discovery is key, balancing spiritual exploration with addressing personal imbalances.
