Someone I once worked with described "channeling" as being like "Walking through a strange neighborhood you don't know anything about like Brooklyn or the Bronx, having someone you don't know come up to you and give you advice about something, and being naive enough to do whatever they tell you to do." That's pretty much my feeling about it, plus what Vaj says above. It's hard enough to separate the bullshit from the possibly valuable when dealing with living "teachers." When dealing with Dead Things, even harder.
