Channeling question-experienced only, please!?
I have a friend who has channeled an entity for years. Sometimes he lets the entity run around in his body for hours. He's still aware of what's going on if he wants to be, and can come back in at any time. The entity seems to be good, and I've never caught it in a lie. In fact, it makes a lot of sense and is quite personable.
How common is this? Is it safe (relatively speaking)? Is there anyone out there with a similar experience? Any information I can find seems to be about short sessions - not about the entity sticking around a while. Can anyone help me with the basics?

It would help your question if you understand the difference between channeling, body-sharing, and possession. If the entity runs around in anyone's body for hours its sharing. This is pretty risky. Every thought and perception that entity has while sharing changes the body from the way your friend uses and has it to their way. It is unavoidable and just the way it works. For example an entity with a feminine bent sharing with a male could even adversely affect his hormones. Then there are the why's behind this. There can be good sharing relationships. Some sharing both are conscious at the same time. The problem when only one of the two is conscious at a time there are big memory gaps for each. Only for the strong and firm in belief system. Channeling is something else then. The entity most take control of the persons communication and perception facilties to a big degree. They do it for communication purposes. If they want more and start using or possessing the body fully for periods of time it is sharing or possession. The possibility for harm is big. Again for the strong and firm in belief. And, never trust an entity that approaches you and asks for such a relationship unless you have a relationship for a very long time and you can understand them completely. The communication has to be telepathic and not everyone can receive that. It is not good for everyone. Some people will get sick and their life will get screwed up.
This is in the metaphysical area.
Another thing about these entities who do this, you gotta wonder why they don't have their own body? Many times if you can get them to resolve this for themself, they will go find one of their own. Not always.
There is the theology of a person being infused with a deity or holy spirit and that should not be confused with channeling, sharing, or possession.
The intimacy of a channeling or sharing relationship is non-paralleled. It is more intimate than sex, parenting, or being a sibling. It is the most intimate beings can get, spirit to spirit. A problem many humans have with a relationship with someone they can't touch or see is their needs are not fully met. One has to be able to categorize their relationships and make strong firm rules including for their emotions to be able to survive one of these relationships. Then there is the problem of having a "friend" that no one else can see.

This isn't safe at all as you never know what your opening your body up to and even if you have got a good entity whats not to say an evil entity doesn't get there first and then who knows what you have unleashed upon yourself and upon your friend.
Also after awhile the entity feeds of so much energy from the host that eventually they burn out the host whether they are good or not so that's also another factor to take in.
I suggest your friend stops the channelling until he know what he is getting himself into.....do some serious research and realise the dangers of channelling and the repercussions

Well I used to be approximately 7 years ancient. My spade used to be crimson and my bucket used to be blue and I used to be having a best day on the seashore. I reduce a channel into the sand, all of the technique to my sandcastle and I laughed as I watched the channel replenish. Oh....and there used to be the celebration whilst I channeled for the period of a public tarot studying and took at the personality of the querent's useless husband however that's yet another tale.
