Channeling Ascended Master Djwhal Khul with Janet Treloar

Date: December 6, 2025
Host: Alex Ferrari
Guest: Janet Treloar (Channel for Zechariah, an aspect of Ascended Master Djwhal Khul)

EPISODE OVERVIEW

In this episode, Alex Ferrari welcomes trance channel Janet Treloar to discuss her work with Zechariah, a channeled aspect of Djwhal Khul (often called "The Tibetan" in Theosophical texts). Through Janet, Zechariah/Djwhal Khul addresses pressing questions about spiritual evolution, the nature of suffering, energetic changes on Earth, and humanity’s next steps. With humor and compassion, Zechariah encourages listeners to embrace the wonder of existence, demystifies the journey of the soul, and offers practical guidance for thriving during turbulent times.

KEY DISCUSSION POINTS AND INSIGHTS

1. Introducing Zechariah and the Channeling Process

• Janet explains Zechariah’s Identity

  • Zechariah is a facet/persona of Djwhal Khul — not a fragment, but a full lifetime lived as “Zechariah of Syria.”
  • “He chooses to package it for us as this being Zechariah... It was a really, really gorgeous life that he lived really close to the earth, really part of humanity like community.” (Janet, 03:34-04:15)
  • Zechariah comes through as a “mate” to encourage relatable, open conversations—he can be lighthearted and approachable.
  • When channeling as Djwhal Khul directly, the messages are often “more serious... and succinct... A product of their time.” (Janet, 04:42-05:45)

• Transition from Trance Channeling to Heart Transmission

  • Janet’s illness affected her nervous system and forced her to rework her channeling approach.
  • Previously practiced deep trance, now uses an embodied “heart transmission” method: “…a real amalgamation of us... Zach is still Zachary. I'm me, but I'm sort of me 0.2.3.” (Janet, 10:12-11:48)
  • Lesson: Always stay willing to grow, evolve methods, and listen to the needs of one’s body.

2. On Embracing the Mystery of Life

• Zechariah on the Value of Mystery (20:32–23:28)
  • “The best thing about human life is the mystery.” (Zechariah, 20:47)
  • Rather than fearing uncertainty, Zechariah urges us to “embrace the mystery” to allow greater potential and wonder into life.
  • Living with openness and wonder attracts joy and blessing:

    “By going in and being open-hearted, open mind... you start moving into the higher vibrations of wonder, of joy, of bliss…you start to attract this into your life.” (Zechariah, 22:34–23:28)

3. The Evolving Role of Suffering

• Moving Beyond Suffering as the Primary Teacher (26:24–29:53)
  • Historically, suffering was a main vehicle for soul growth, but this is now shifting:

    “The energy upon your planet…has been evaluating to such a degree frequency layer upon layer... you have moved up out of the depths of the deepest levels of suffering.” (Zechariah, 27:23–27:53)

  • Now, spiritual maturity allows growth through “heart desire” rather than pain:

    “Heart desire has become the priority. And this heart's desire may involve…some levels of suffering. However, it is not the priority anymore.” (Zechariah, 27:23–28:22)

  • Suffering should be moved through “swiftly, with ease and with grace,” with compassion for those still in it.

4. Tapping Into Higher Guidance

• How to Hear Your Higher Self (29:53–34:27)
  • The challenge is not receiving guidance, but being present enough to notice it:

    “We look at people all over the world... not only by their own soul and their higher selves... And… they say... ‘I just wish I had a sign.’ And everyone in the background is saying, but we've given them 20, 30, 50 already.” (Zechariah, 29:59–30:35)

  • Practical advice:
    • Develop habits of presence and quiet.
    • Ask specific questions and trust subtle impressions.
    • “Nobody... at this time... does not have the ability to hear their own higher self...” (Zechariah, 32:44–33:20)
    • Everyone has unique ways (“listening within”)—trust your own process.

5. Repetitive Patterns and the Patient Soul

• Cycles and Leveling Up (34:27–39:45)
  • When stuck in old energy/patterns, “the soul... is incredibly patient,” encouraging new approaches (“like learning the moves in a new game”).
  • Each repetition is a chance to spiral up, gaining wisdom.
  • Completion of a lesson/pattern is actively celebrated by the soul.

6. Energetic Upgrades: What’s Happening on the Planet Now

• Cosmic Influences and the Next Wave of Awakening (39:45–46:18)
  • Zechariah describes a profound surge of cosmic and solar energy:

    “At this particular time... we have reverence with the experience that is happening at this very moment, even as we speak.” (Zechariah, 40:05–40:32)

  • This influx, augmented by the celestial event “Three Eye Atlas,” brings in plasma/light energy, activates solar plexus centers, and synchronizes the collective heart frequency.
  • The SOULar and planetary energies are raising vibration, especially through late December/solstice.

7. Practical Guidance for Navigating the Current Shift

• Grounding and Celebrating Creation (50:07–54:59)

  • Advice for individuals:
    • Focus on grounding and stabilizing your energy.
    • Allow movement, sport, and celebration, then rest and reintegrate.
    • “Be lit up, literally lit up from the inside out so that we move into this time of living light on Earth.” (Zechariah, 51:40–52:12)

• Moving from Destruction to Creation Energy (52:33–57:48)

  • Earth is shifting from destructive cycles to creative, collaborative, and compassionate ones:

    “The stronger energy, is one of creation... When we can bring creativity into the collaboration, we are literally creating empathy and compassion within that collaboration.” (Zechariah, 53:20–55:24)

• Vision for Next Decade

  • 5–10 years: More light, sharing, and collective abundance; a gradual golden era marked by collaboration and emotional/spiritual well-being taking priority over materialism.

8. Transmuting Collective Fear & Anchoring Light

• Letting Go of Collective Trauma (58:17–64:03)
  • Fear induces paralysis and numbness, but is energetically outdated.
  • A powerful simple practice: “I release, and I release on behalf of all my brothers and sisters and others across this planet, any fear...” (Zechariah, 62:41–64:03)
  • The intention to release makes space for light and new solutions.

9. Ascended Masters: Myths and Reality

• Biggest Misconception: Perfection (66:17–70:09)

  • Ascended Masters, like all souls, grew through challenges and mistakes:

    “That the Ascended Masters were perfect... The beauty... is to love the parts of you that you find difficult to love about yourself... They are not overly concerned... if you say, well, I've done this, I've done that, I'm here. They'll say, well, good for you. But let's look at the bits that you don't want to look at.” (Zechariah, 66:24–67:47)

• Practical Encouragement

  • The Masters support your growth and uniqueness, regardless of frailty or imperfection.

10. Final Message: The Power of Being Human

• Embodying the Divine Through Ordinary Life (72:10–74:59)

  • Main advice: “Allow yourself to be human first.”
  • Embrace the experience of being alive, noticing and choosing with free will, growing at your own pace, and being kind to self and others.
  • “Immerse yourself in being human because this is what you came here to be... Walk a path with love, walk a path with grace, with kindness, with compassion...” (Zechariah, 72:10–74:59)

• Janet's Closing Reflection

  • “Just be, and be kind to yourself... Go into that heart space. We're in this time of heart transcendence now. And love who you find there.” (Janet, 78:15–79:00)

NOTABLE QUOTES & MEMORABLE MOMENTS

• On Embracing Mystery:

  “The best thing about human life is the mystery.” (Zechariah, 20:47)

• On Channeling Evolution:

  “What I needed to have was move through knowledge into wisdom and then... put it into effect... to be open to this completely and utterly new way of being.” (Janet, 10:55–11:48)

• On Suffering:

  “Heart desire has become the priority... It is not the priority anymore to move through suffering.” (Zechariah, 27:37–28:22)

• On Receiving Guidance:

  “There is nobody on this planet at this time... who does not have the ability to hear their own higher self...” (Zechariah, 32:44–33:20)

• On Energetic Changes:

  “We have reverence with the experience that is happening at this very moment, even as we speak.” (Zechariah, 40:05–40:32)

• On the Next Era:

  “After this goes through... you will actually be seeing people... who literally emit light from them. So you are a source, not just a creation.” (Zechariah, 54:54–55:24)

• On Perfection and the Ascended Masters:

  “They are seeing beauty in the parts of you that you cannot see... They do not look at how many people that love you. They look at how many people you love.” (Zechariah, 67:47–70:09)

• On Embodying the Divine:

  “Allow yourself to be human first... walk a path with love, walk a path with grace, with kindness, with compassion.” (Zechariah, 72:10–74:59)
