Opis

Channeling, or communication between an individual and a non-physical source, has been reported throughout history and continues to be reported in current times. While channeling was initially deemed a religious phenomenon, it gradually became a countercultural and spiritual phenomenon. With this shift, channeling grew in popularity and became a clearly recognizable genre. This book provides an investigation into the rise of channelers and channeled texts. It also provides an in-depth rhetorical analysis of the messages of ten significant channelers from the past century.
