Wow guys, your experiences are amazing. 
Although I've never actually tried to channel, I have gotten many, many "flashes of inspiration". I'm not sure if they are some kind of communication from somewhere else, or if they are products of my imagination. But they don't feel imagined by me. They come into my mind seemingly too fast to be consciously created, and always unexpectedly. They usually come when I am relaxed and present, like when I'm meditating, listening to music, reading a book, or driving (although not lately in this horrible driving weather!). And they don't tend to last more than a few seconds. Here's a couple of recent examples.
Example: Seeing many different forms of life (including human), one at a time, go from seed/egg through the life, back to dust, and back to seed/egg over and over again very very quickly against a white radiant background with the emotion of understanding/empathy, if that makes any sense.
Example: This whole vision was third person view. Seeing a nude human being that looked nothing like me, not to mention she was female, but I still felt was "me" standing near the treeline of a forest with a brook running through it, and seeing these spirals of rainbow colored energy swirling in the ground and running up through both "me" and the trees from root to tip hundreds of times a second, very radiant, with the superpowerful, almost tear jerking, emotion of LOVE. I understood the rainbow energy to be chakra energy flowing from infinity to universe to supercluster to cluster to galaxy to star to planet to organism to infinity.
They seem to come in different forms. Some of them contain visual elements, whereas some, like this next example, contain only feelings/word thoughts.
Example: This happened the first time I listened to a particular song (Gandalf's "The Blessing"). I love this song, and it seems to me to be a very powerful tool for awakening. What I mean is the song contains lots of elements of universal love, or maybe it just seems that way to me. Anyway, while listening to the group chanting in the song, my train of thought was "Wow, it sounds like we are listening to a society kind of like the Native Americans in that they sound very close to the earth, full of love and understanding for eachother, and having eliminated all their ego worries, they are celebrating in the presence and love of God (or Logos I suppose). I would love to take a trip to visit that place where these people live and learn from them how to be connected in spirit." Then suddenly, I heard a voice in my head (sounded kinda like my thought voice, but deeper, smoother, if that makes any sense) say "THAT PLACE WILL SOMEDAY BE HERE" and I felt a sudden ultrapowerful surge of joy and love, a silly uncontrollable grin popped up on my face and the back of my head near the top of my spine physically hurt for a second as it "twanged" and my whole body tingled. I didn't really give too much credibility to the idea of chakras before that episode, but now I do!
This site looks like it's in Vietnamese, but here's a link to where you can listen to the whole song in your browser.

I have read about these "flashes of inspiration", and it seems that even the ancient zen masters experienced them. If only they had the Ra teachings, huh?
