Some years after I had enjoyed channeling, I attended a circle hosted by Susan Shumsky -- say, circa 1986-7. At one point she directed us to listen to our Inner Christ (or some such; I do not recall her actual terminology here) and give voice to it. Absolutely everyone started singing as close to a pure soprano as possible. "Higher is better!" appeared to be the unspoken belief -- classic TM stance. Anyhow, I listened and my voice emerged in an extremely deep tone, like a Tibetan chant. Sudden shock. Susan stopped singing, and rapidly went through an exorcism prayer! My toning ceased until she was done ... expectant silence rang through the room ... and out it came again, the exact same basso. The whole room cracked up in laughter. This is not to say that I do not have a lot of respect for Susan Shumsky's calling and work, overall.
