What is the phenomenon of channeling spiritual beings?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Channeling is often a masquerade, where the illusion of divine connection is merely a performance, recycling borrowed ideas and exploiting the human desire for meaning. True spirituality cannot be bought or sold; it is an authentic experience, not a marketable commodity."
According to Osho, channeling is largely a marketable hoax: self-styled mediums claim Atlantean or godly identities, enter trances, and retail recycled ideas stolen from books—including his—while exploiting a psychology that equates high price with value. The audience’s sunk-cost justification sustains the illusion. It is performance and plagiarism, not authentic transmission of truth.
Channeling is mostly people pretending to speak as ancient spirits, repeating ideas from books, and using high prices to make you believe it’s special.
Why this matters practically
- Be skeptical of high-priced spiritual shows and trance claims; seek evidence and your own clarity.
- Notice sunk-cost bias—money spent shouldn’t force belief.
- Check original sources; beware of recycled wisdom sold as revelation.
