**** Sorry if this has already been covered by someone else. I did not follow this thread very carefully. My first exposure to the idea of a "walk-in" was in the writings of a psychic named Ruth Montgomery. I think these were published in the 70's and 80's. There may have been more since, but I haven't been checking. Anyway, she described and defined "walk-ins" very thoroughly. She was supposed to be receiving this information from astral guides. The idea, popular in New Age circles, was that the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century were supposed to be very turbulent times, demanding that humanity receive guidance from a lot of spiritually highly evolved beings. There were supposed to be a lot of souls not currently in human bodies that were volunteering for these roles as guides. Problem was, there wasn't enough time for them to be born as humans, then grow up, then start teaching. So it seemed ok if they took on someone else's already grown up body. This was supposed to be ok if the original inhabitant was so depressed about living that they would be happy to get out of their current body and get a rest on the astral plane. So a really depressed person gets a knock on the astral door asking if it's ok to check him/her out, and if, after an initial period, all goes well (well?!?) the two souls trade places. That means that the original occupant is no longer there. The new occupant is supposed to get a little confused at first, because of the mingling of it's own soul memories (which it retains even after human embodiment, because it is so highly evolved) and the memories of the original occupant stored in the physiology. After a short adjustment, the person is supposed to take off in an entirely new direction, since he/she has a dharma/purpose that the original did not. Is there such a phenomenon? I have no idea. Nor do I care really. But on examining Irmeli's friend's story, it doesn't match up well with Ruth Montgomery's definition of a walk-in. For one thing, it doesn't sound as if the original soul left. So that would make this more of a possession - dual occupancy. For another, the walk-ins are supposed to be so highly evolved that they wouldn't need to be replaced by a second walk-in.
