Can a person guide their own consciousness to channels of a higher self?

Yes.

Yes I think that that is the goal of enlightenment .

Of course, growth is essential in life. This is especially important in yourself like you’ve asked. Some people believe that this can be achieved through others or a higher power, but the one who knows you best is yourself.

Dig deeper Watson.

The acceptance of God is an act of reaching a higher level of consciousness where He has sent to reside in all normal minds as a Mystery Monitor, A thought Adjuster.
P.24 – §6 Those who know God have experienced the fact of his presence; such God-knowing mortals hold in their personal experience the only positive proof of the existence of the living God which one human being can offer to another. The existence of God is utterly beyond all possibility of demonstration except for the contact between the God-consciousness of the human mind and the God-presence of the Thought Adjuster that indwells the mortal intellect and is bestowed upon man as the free gift of the Universal Father.

If you can nullify the attraction towards the nonself through understanding you can direct your consciousness to the
ultimate realty.

What the hell does that mean?

The definition of “consciousness” is hazy enough by itself, but when you throw in “channels of a higher self” the question becomes meaningless gobbledygook.
What does “channels of a higher self” even mean in practical terms?
If you mean, “Can someone make themselves a better person?”, then just say that, and avoid the new age claptrap.

The human soul is like the Universe which is constantly expanding from its center mass. The soul have a constant yearn to evolve in to a higher consciousness called enlightenment of the soul. Much like a student who started from 1st grade and end up being a graduate student in this university called Universe, the soul evolves and it is constant. How fast is another question.
Learning from a teacher could show you the ropes, but only you yourself have to make the journey.

Sure. Just take the elevator or stairs.
Might help if you had the foggiest idea what a higher self was.
Lot of nonsense about “higher selves” floating around.
As far as I am concerned the only higher self is a better educated self.

i am asking for guidance.

Terrific question. Thanks.

We carry with us the wisdom as well as phobias of past . It has been observed that one can make the mind connect to past and treat some phobias.
I am also quite aware that we can connect to our higher self and be connected to the base of information in Universe.

as long as there is a channel, there is a dam… remove the dam, no need to separate “higher” and “lower” self… you are not two, you are one…

I firmly believe this.YES!
