S1 | E17 Paul Selig - Psychic, Teacher & Author

Author: Matt Kosterman January 16, 2026 Duration: 58:05

I discovered the channeled work of Paul Selig and his "Guides" (whom have called themselves "Melchizedek") in late summer of 2020. I had fortunately been "softened" up considerably with psychedelic work including Psilocybin, MDMA, Ayahuasca and Mescaline in addition to some deep myofascial work by that point in my healing journey. A friend shared a link to a YouTube video and it was as if a tractor beam took hold of me. I was mesmerized and, after checking their stock online, was on my way to a bookstore 30 minutes away where I purchased three books.

This work is one of the three pillars of my transformation - up there with psychedelics and somatic work. And it may not resonate with you. It was one of the clearest example of "When the student is ready, the teacher appears" I've experienced. Others have told similar stories.

In this episode of The Permission Slip, I sit down with Paul Selig for a conversation about consciousness, channeling, and what it means to live in alignment with a higher order of truth while fully embodied as a human being.

Paul shares his personal origin story — from an accomplished academic life to an unexpected spiritual awakening that opened him to hearing and working with the Guides. We explore how his abilities unfolded gradually, the role discipline and integrity played in stabilizing the work, and why true channeling is less about being “special” and more about becoming transparent to something greater.

We move into the core teachings brought through the Guides: the nature of divine union, the Christ as a universal principle rather than a historical figure, and humanity’s current reckoning with fear, separation, and self-denial. We also discuss discernment in spiritual work, the difference between inspiration and channeling, free will, presence, and how awakening does not bypass the human experience — it transforms how we meet it.

This conversation is not about belief systems or spiritual bypassing. It’s about lived experience, embodiment, and the practical integration of higher consciousness into daily life.

Special Guest: Paul Selig.


For fifteen years, a deep healing journey has been the central thread of my life, weaving through everything from personal growth books and meditation to psychedelics, bodywork, and Tantric retreats. That path, filled with explorations of chakras, Human Design, and channeled works, is what I bring to The Permission Slip. This isn't a lecture hall; it's the continuation of those spontaneous, sometimes surprising conversations I tend to start with relative strangers about consciousness and transformation. Each episode feels like granting yourself the space to explore the edges of your own understanding. You'll hear genuine dialogues that delve into the practical and the profound, questioning how we heal, grow, and perceive reality itself. The aim of this podcast is to normalize these wide-ranging explorations, offering a sense of companionship for anyone curious about the tools and perspectives that challenge conventional self-improvement. It’s for those who find resonance in spirituality, health, and alternative education, and who are looking for a candid voice that has been there, digging through the layers. Tune in for a mix of personal reflection and external insight, all centered on the idea that sometimes what we need most is simply the permission to look inward and explore.
