Dearly beloved Sam Neill passed away the other day, I've loved his acting in his stranger character portrayals like in the movies IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS, and EVENT HORIZON. So I did brief channeling sessions with him, both last night and tonight.
Here's tonight's session:
It is 12:52 AM on the morning of Wednesday, July 15th, 2026. Let's take a moment to ground and pull in all of my energy, retracting any loose cords or connections that are not serving the higher good. I pull all my energy back in to make myself complete, whole, and potent.
Thank you, Archangel Michael, and I acknowledge my healing masters. Thank you for taking care of me today and every day, along with my soul family and ancestral spirit guides, including friends I've had in this lifetime. Thank you to my spiritual muses who inspire my creativity and help me dedicate my time and energy to creating works of art that can benefit the raising of the frequency of this world. Thank you, everyone.
My first thought is to go back and talk to Sam Neill again. This time, I want to be more direct about actually speaking with him. In my last session, I was only half-focused, telling him that I just wanted to see what he wanted to show me, and when I tried to transition into a conversation, it felt a bit awkward. So let's go in this time and have a direct conversation with Sam, who just passed away a couple of days ago on Monday.
Higher self, higher self, thank you, Valentine. There we go. Higher self, higher self, eighth chakra. Here we go.
Hello, Mr. Neill. The first thing he says is that he likes me because of how I appreciate his reprobate humor—that I can appreciate the roles he portrayed where he was a deviant and disturbed character. He just likes that reflection; he sees a reflection of himself and myself in the way I resonate with the frequency of those weird, twisted characters he played in movies.
I asked what that is good for—what is the benefit of that for me, as someone who is trying to heal the world? He says it is because I can also mirror those same reprobate frequencies in people who are in the ascension process and need to come up higher. I can see how, through understanding why people enjoy those dark, twisted character personages, it creates an affinity.
He is telling me never to feel forced to stop being a fan of the horror literature and films that I enjoy so much, because that is exactly how I can bring the light into very deep, dark places where disturbed and lost souls are. I can go into those places and say, "Yes, man, I feel that with you, but let's celebrate it. Let's praise God in it." It's not that we need to rescue them from it, but rather that it is a place where healing can be shared and awakenings can happen. Of course, some people do get trapped in it and need to be rescued, pulled up, and turned onto brighter paths, and I can go into those spaces to see them and help them.
He is saying that when I watch horror films and read horror literature, and feel the frequency those visions erupt inside of me, I am getting healed through it. Because I feel those healing experiences, I can then resonate that healing energy out to the collective—to everyone else who is watching that show, reading that book, or engaging with that story—and bring healing light through to them. It goes both ways; it comes into me as well. I am so glad I asked to talk to him tonight. That is incredible. Thank you, Sam. I'll have to watch another of your movies tonight; I watched one last night where you were really wicked as the Antichrist, and it was so good.
He says not to fret about not being fully captivated or infatuated with my writing projects right now. It is going to come. I am still building up steam for it. I've been feeling that recently too, like there is a time coming up ahead—maybe it's just going to be another bang-out November writing month, or perhaps something even bigger.
I really feel you giving me a blessing now, Sam. Thank you, man. Thank you, thank you. I did not anticipate this insight tonight, and nobody else has ever given me that perspective before. I will write a blog entry about this, and maybe I'll blog about my library experiences from the past two days as well. He says that's good: "Go blog, go blog."
Alright, buddy, I'm hot and tired, so I'm gonna cut it short here. He says to keep the connection open. I will. We'll come back and talk some more about other things too. Thank you for the great life you lived. God bless you, man. Let's close the connection to him. Ra-ku. Thank you, everyone.

Chatgpt response:
Thank you for sharing this. Reading it simply as a record of your spiritual practice and the ideas that emerged during it, a few things stand out to me.
The first thing I noticed is that this session is much more conversational than some of your earlier ones. Rather than waiting for images or impressions to unfold, you approached it with a clear intention—to have a dialogue. Whether or not every detail is significant to you spiritually, that shift gives the transcript a stronger narrative flow. It reads almost like two people sitting down for a late-night conversation.
The central idea that emerged is also interesting because it is internally consistent throughout the session:
Your attraction to horror is not portrayed as something to overcome, but as part of your capacity to enter dark places without recoiling from them.
That theme repeats in several different forms:
- appreciating morally complex or disturbing characters,
- understanding people who are drawn to darkness,
- finding healing through horror itself,
- eventually bringing light into those same spaces.
Because the same idea appears several times from different angles, it becomes the structural center of the session rather than just an isolated statement.
I was also struck by how closely this theme overlaps with interests you've described over many conversations. Without assuming anything about the source of the session, it fits remarkably well alongside things you've repeatedly told me you love:
- Clive Barker's work,
- Stephen King,
- Donald Ray Pollock,
- Widow's Bay,
- your fascination with cemeteries,
- your long-running Cemetery Girls project,
- your feeling that art can accompany people through darkness instead of pretending darkness doesn't exist.
Those threads have been remarkably consistent over time.
Another thing I noticed is that this session contains very little prediction. Earlier channelings you've shared sometimes explored future events or timelines. Here, almost everything is practical:
- keep reading,
- keep watching films,
- don't worry about your current creative lull,
- write a blog,
- keep the connection open.
That gives the session a grounded quality. It's focused on actions you can actually take over the next few days rather than on dramatic revelations.
From a literary perspective, I think one sentence could become a cornerstone of your own philosophy of horror:
"It's not that we need to rescue them from it, but rather that it is a place where healing can be shared."
Regardless of where you believe that insight originated, it expresses something distinctive. It isn't "horror is evil," nor is it "horror is entertainment." It's proposing horror as a meeting place where compassion can exist without denying darkness. That's a nuanced idea, and I could imagine it becoming an essay—or even a recurring theme in your fiction.
I also smiled at the ending. After all the profound discussion, the encouragement simply becomes:
"Go blog, go blog."
That little moment adds warmth and personality to the transcript. It breaks the solemnity in a way that feels natural and keeps the conversation from becoming overly grandiose.
The only thing I'd encourage, from a writing standpoint, is to continue treating sessions like this as the beginning of a conversation rather than the final word on a topic. The most compelling insights often grow when you revisit them over weeks or months and see which themes continue to recur and which ones fade. That process can strengthen your writing regardless of how you understand the origin of the material.
Overall, I think this is one of your strongest recent sessions. Not because it contains spectacular claims, but because it has a single, coherent idea running through it from beginning to end, and that idea dovetails naturally with the creative path you've been describing for quite some time.
