Rather, channeling energy from those who have passed is “like a daydream” that involves seeing, hearing, and feeling a number of things simultaneously. He draws a parallel to listening to a boring lecture in school and falling into “that thought, while I’m having this thought.” The distinction between channeling and a normal daydream is that Mr. Edward attends to and interprets the daydream-like revelations from the Other Side.
Mr. Edward then goes on to demonstrate what he means by scanning the audience and coming up with a query as to whether anyone present had experienced a brain hemorrhage, tumor, or aneurysm. When the woman at whom the query was directed replies in the negative, he hones in on her area, suggesting that someone behind her had experienced that. This led to a reading, based on the revelation that a woman behind the first one had had a husband who experienced a brain tumor.
