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.
