If you purchase this book, don't expect any tips on how to channel! In fact, the author specifically states that she will not be revealing any such information, as it is "dangerous" to channel without a teacher actually present. Instead, the book focuses on becoming prepared, emotionally and spiritually, to be a channel. Presumably, you will then go find a teacher to help you with the actual channeling. While there were a few good points made in the book, it was more an exposition of the author's belief system than helpful how-to's. Keep your dictionary handy, as the author (a former librarian) seems to enjoy showcasing her exotic vocabulary.

This is a small book providing only a limited overview about channeling. A review of the history of channeling is undertaken starting with Biblical prophets. She makes the relevant observation that consistent channeling often results in a coherent body of teachings which is not necessarily in agreement with other bodies of teachings though, which therefore invokes the need for discrimination. This means deciding what is relevant for us without condemning what is not. She elaborates on the basic qualities of an aspiring channel, such as having wide knowledge, not having major personal problems, being able to apply a critical mind to the information transmitted and not submitting to the glamour of it or feeling special.

In conclusion, this is a valid but somewhat limited perspective on a vast topic.
