I'm surprised these people are still using Red Indians as their "spirit guides", these went out of fashion a long time ago, along with Tibetans, "Hindoos", and the like; and quasi-historical figures like Patience Worth and Bridey Murphey (English and Irish peasants, respectively). Since the 1970, these somewhat normal (and somewhat researchable) spirits have apparently had it with us obtuse human beings who are still learning the lessons of physical reality, and doing a piss-poor job of it at that, and returned to their spiritual realms in something of a huff.
They have been replaced by a Rockettes-style high-kick line of curiouser and curiouser entities, completely untraceable, who mirror our science-fictional and fantasy-prone times, as the previous ones mirrors our ancestors' fascination with exotic cultures. A few of these lofty beings include:
An "energy personality no longer focused in physical reality" (Seth, of course)
A Lemurian warrior who conquored two-thirds of the known world 35,000 years ago. (J. Z. Knight's cash cow, Ramtha)
A "sixth-density entity from the planet Venus six hundred years in the future" (Say whut?
That would be Jamie Sams's friend Leah)
A collective entity composed of all the energy and consciousness in the universe (I forget now who the medium was for this one, but this is pretty much the Newage definition of God. Others also channel God Him/Herself, sometimes Yahweh, yes, THAT Yahweh, but straightforward "divine revelation" is pretty much out of fashion these days, except among those wacky Christians)
Various "ascended masters" - Khoot Humi, Saint Germain, El Morya, Paul the Venetian, et.al., along with new and improved versions of Jesus, the Buddha, and Confucius, that neither Christians, Buddhists, nor Confuscians would recognize. (Courtesy of Madame Blavatsky and her enormous litter of offspring.)
Advanced extraterrestrials, "Space Brothers", and what-not, mostly from the Pleiades, but from other planets/galaxies/dimensions as well. (Two whole generations of these, from George Adamski, through Claude Vorilhon, aka Raël, on out to infinity and beyond.)
Hunk-Ra, a 25,000-year-old warrior (Channeled by Mike Doonsbury's girlfriend, Barbara Ann Boopstein. Ms. Boopstein is also known for her acting career, from which her best known role is "Third Girl In The Shower" from
Porky's IX)
Some of us, though, still do like doing things the old-fashioned way. I myself still use a manual typewriter, a wind-up pocket watch, and an analog alarm clock. If I got into the channeling business, I'm sure I'd prefer channeling a 1500-year-old Cherokee brave who talks like Tonto rather than a sixth-density ANYthing.
