Channeling higher self or other spirits?

[DungBeetle]

Hi beloved friends. Please disregard anything that does not seem true to you, for that is free will.

I have been interested in channeling or telepathic comunication with spirts for some time. I read Carla's Channeling Handbook, but I still feel lacking in my understanding of how to channel. I tried channeling my higher self through just my intuition, but am not sure if am really channeling my higher self or if am just making it up. I even tried to challenge my higher self by trying to make it say something that I dont know anything about. still I cant tell if my higher self is refuseing my challenge or if its my imaginations inability to imagine something it does not know. I would appreciate your advice. Love and Light.

I have been following a youtube channel called "MindandMagick" and he has a "Mystery School" series which deals in esoterics/occult/magic. It is pretty interesting and he links other channels and books also dealing with calling planetary, elemental nature etc spirits. Not sure if it is "channeling" but I would think Carla uses the same ancient occult techniques as the mystery schools use.
