Barbara Marciniak is an internationally recognized trance channel who lives in North Carolina, and has been channeling since 1988. During a trip to Egypt and Greece in 1988 Barbara visited several pyramids and temples, which helped her open her psychic sense. Later that same year, Barbara felt the presence of several beings that were speaking to her from within. These beings described themselves as multidimensional extraterrestrials from the star system, the Pleiades. Barbara's mission has been to channel these beings teachings for the benefit of humanity. The Pleiadians, through Barbara, have said that they are here to help us with the spiritual transformation that is taking place until 2012.

Barbara has channeled volumes of material from the Pleiadians. Currently, four books have been compiled from this material. The Pleiadian's teachings have been compared to native shamanism, and Barbara says they are designed to help humans awaken to different levels of consciousness and to show how to move harmoniously between them. Here are some examples of the Pleiadian's teachings through Barbara:

"We are here. We are the Pleiadians, a collective of energy from the Pleiades. We have a long history. Our ancestors came from another universe that had achieved completion, a universe. You are simply working on a planet coming to completion, and we are here to help you with that task. This completion, or transformation, has been heralded by many for eons. It is an important time. What happens on Earth now will affect the entire universe."

"Awaken, dear friends, within this dream and realize that it is your duty and responsibility as human beings to imagine and visualize a safe world. It will be as you decree, and your own experience will thus reflect it."

"You are living in a time when opportunities for self-empowerment, expanded awareness, and spiritual growth appear to be unlimited."
