What is the difference between entering another body and psychic mediumship?

Entering another body is an act of force, while mediumship is a gentle invitation; one is a dance of dominance, the other a harmonious communion.

Core Insight:
According to Osho, “entering another body” is an active, male technique: one vacates one’s own body and forcefully occupies another’s. Psychic mediumship is a receptive, female technique: the medium creates inner space and invites mainly bodiless spirits (like radio tuning) to enter, then dismiss them. Mediumship is simpler and safer; summoning embodied souls or forcible entry involves greater risk, including unconsciousness of the host.
It’s like the difference between breaking into someone else’s house and opening your own door for a guest—opening your door (mediumship) is easier and safer, and mostly lets in wandering spirits.
Why this matters practically
- Helps set inner boundaries so you don’t unconsciously invite unsettling influences through fear or suggestibility.
- Warns against risky practices like calling embodied souls or forcing entry into others.
- Encourages careful, informed approach to any psychic exploration.
