What is Channeling, Really?
Now that weve been introduced to the message, let’s take a look at the medium. Jane Roberts channeled a source named Seth a clearly articulated and distinct personality complete with unique facial and vocal patterns from 1963-1984. She and her husband, Robert Butts, held twice weekly sessions in which Jane would go into a trance state and Seth would come through and dictate information that Rob initially transcribed by hand. After several years of laying a foundation, Seth announced in one day that he was going to dictate his own books. One of the amazing features of Seths ability was that he dictated every one of his books from start to finish without changing a word. And with the dictation sessions occurring twice a week, when the hours of trance time were totaled up, if we define a week as a forty hour period, then most of the books were delivered in a period of only 3-4 weeks! So just what is channeling and how can we best explain it in terms of science, metaphysics, and theology?
