I said that I had learned a technique from the Spiritualist Church where I was trained in the art of mediumship.
Channeled material is but an aspect of the system taught by modern Spiritualists.
In fact, one phase of mediumship, which is called 'traveling clairvoyance' is the out of body state. Where the medium is conscious of leaving the body, and in that state views the surroundings, we use the term 'traveling clairvoyance. This signifies that the spirit is utilizing the mechanism of soul travel, and, on return, transmits through the physical brain the information collected. This quote, written in 1947 appears in a book called, The University Of Spiritualism , By Harry Boddington. I have used this quote, not to advocate the cause of Spiritualism, but to show that the out of body state was taught as one of the phases of mediumship.
