CHANNELING: New Age practice wherein you allow a disincarnate
entity to "borrow" your body to speak to others either
through automatic writing or verbally. Channeling does not have
a very good track record simply because it is difficult to prove
and the information imparted is usually not about things that
can be "tested." Subjects normally involve distance
prophecy, what the after-life is like, the structure of other
dimensions, words of wisdom that everybody really needs to know
before it is too late, etc. Channeling is the new buzz-word for medium ship. The best known and most accurate medium within our
present century was the later Edgar Cayce. Most book stores will
carry some of his material and it is well worth your time to
read. Channeling is not the same as contacting the dead for
information or help.
