Its all abit Crowley-esque.

Your premises are false.

1. Just because being open and permission is requested/desired/honored does not imply there is anything unnatural involved.

2. Possession has a definition. Renaming a possession with something innocuous would not change what it is.

As above, so below......everything....EVERYTHING..... here in this Earth realm/plane comes from higher levels, (higher than the higher levels where "evil spirits" can hang out. NOTHING here is original. That includes all of the "bad" things people do. What is different here is intention.

That is, the concepts originate from higher levels. We discover them here as our temporarily blinded consciousness experiences things anew. What we do with what we discover here is unique to each individual.

Just as some people act out of respect, courtesy, practice good manners and choose appropriate behavior or not... spiritual beings demonstrate the same yet there are times when spirit acts to get our attention just as there are times when we act to get someone's attention here.

We are multi-dimensional beings. You are not fully aware of everything you do at all times. A great extent of your activity is unconscious....more for some people than others....and this varies from time to time for everyone. You might not even realize you have given permission and even requested contact with higher levels, for good or bad......no one can prove it but we all have guides on the spirit realm who are intimately connected to such an extent we think their input is our own thoughts.

If you can discern between valid information and unsound information you can exercise that ability whether it comes from a physical being or a spirit being.

The counter to tossing the baby out with the bath water is buying into everything a spirit being says merely because they are a spirit being. Some very intelligent/geniuses can be very stupid about beliefs. The universe is very logical. If you cannot find conclusive evidence keep your mind open, (not to be mistaken with being susceptible to possession).

It's certainly interesting but I'm not sure if it's really channeled material or simply a new man made concept to categorize humans, something our mind loves so much to do. Take it with a grain of salt I'd say.

In mediumship there's a saying, "All Spirit is thrirty-five years old." Obviously Spirit has no chronological age as such, but it's a metaphorical explanation for how people in Spirit want others to perceive them as. Thirty-five (thereabouts) is often seen as the prime of Life in humans terms and being in Spirit is the prime of Life. Soul Ages are the same, they're metaphors for understanding not facts.
