Channeling

Voices borrowing throats: Seth, Ra, Bashar. The publishing genre that thinks it's a phone.

Modern channeling: voluntary mediumship producing teachings attributed to non-physical intelligences — Jane Roberts' Seth (from 1963, papers archived at Yale), 'A Course in Miracles' (Helen Schucman, 1976), Ra (1981), JZ Knight's Ramtha. Documented: the texts, the archives, and psychology's assessments (dissociative absorption, automatism); no channeled claim has produced verifiable non-public information under controlled conditions. The mechanism question stays open in the lore, closed in the lab, and lucrative in the marketplace.
