Trance channelling is when the channeller does not want to become one with the energy of the source being channelled through them. A trance channeller therefore through meditation has their consciousness leave their body and the source consciousness enters it. Observers will notice the channeller's voice change when the transition is complete. This is not related to multiple personalities. The trance channeller makes a freewill choice for their consciousness to reconnect with their physical body. Trance channelling uses the same dynamics as astral travel. Carl JungPsychologist Carl Jung put forward theories for supernatural claims like ESP and channeling. These theories focused on his concept of the collective unconscious, an ancestral memory passed on for all of human history in the form of symbols. According to the theory while many of the symbols are conveyed to individuals in dreams, waking experiences by ordinary people of a prescient nature can frequently be traced back to what Jung called Synchronicity, or “meaningful coincidence.” According to Jung symbols of the collective unconscious are not random byproducts of a specific time and place, not simply the associations that Freud outlined earlier when Psychology was in its infancy. Just as the seemingly arcane events of a dream can suddenly become clear to the dreamer with the aid of specific symbol, waking events can coalesce with the aid of the collective unconscious and signal (like a dream) one or more future events to a person. Despite the use of “coincidence” in the theory of Synchronicity Jung did not view these moments of foresight as random or unexplainable. He did not deny the validity of predicting the passage of events. What he did dispute was the supernatural element presumed by professed clairvoyants and their followers. The “believer” in the supernatural attributes visions and prescience to specifically gifted individuals, while Jung saw these visions as inherent to human thought. According to Jung the “gifted” are simply individuals who do not ignore the interaction of their waking mind with the collective unconscious, who learn to interpret symbols present in our everyday lives. CriticismScientists have criticized the claim that chanelling is an actual phenomena. See for example rebuttals put forward by the Australian Skeptics.
