Our Visiting Mediums

Toni Winninger

From medical technologist to social worker, then from sales representative to director of education of a paramedical trade school, and finally as a lawyer serving for 27 years as a state prosecutor, I always sought “The Answer.” In those days I had an insatiable desire to know the factual basis of everything encountered, and to learn what was needed to present my perception of the facts to others, cogently and convincingly. While I was getting ready to retire from my position as a senior criminal prosecuting trial attorney with the Cook County (Chicago) State’s Attorney’s Office, my guides recruited me to be their voice to the world. I did not even know what a channeler was when they told me they wanted me to convey their messages to others. Now I translate messages from them weekly and place them on the website they had us construct for that purpose. We recently started a Facebook site where guidance is given daily. The Masters of the Spirit World simply ask me to take the energetic vibrations that they send through me and tune them, translate them, for all the world to have. What are you to do with those words? The same as I do. You must use your freedom of choice to feel whether they should be part of your reality, and if so, then you may embrace them as I embrace my work for the non-physical, wonderful beings at Home on the other side. Toni will be visiting our Center from November 7-November 20, 2013.

Karen Cook

Karen is a transdimensional channel who grew up with Benu. She first met Benu when she was 2 1/2 years old. He appeared as a light in the corner of her room. When she ran to her parents for reassurance they explained it must be a reflection of moonlight and sent her back to bed. What she went back to was the warm, loving and allowing presence of this entity who came to support her life and in time ask her assistance to support others. Karen has been a transdimensional channel for Benu since 1986. The fascinating aspect of this channel is that Karen Cook's presence temporarily leaves and Benu is able to use her body, not in a merged consciousness, but in the fullness of who he is; clear and precise. This is a powerful act of total trust and love on the part of Karen which Benu acknowledges with great affection and blessing of Prime Source (God). Benu is aware of the deeper truths of this planet and those of us who meet with him. Karen's purpose in channeling is to lend her energies toward allowing the message to be heard. Karen visited our Center from March 2 -3, 2013.
