Thanks Patrick, that's a great explanation.
I like that they call it "meditative channeling" rather than "conscious channeling," because in my experience (and many others), it seems very much like an unconscious act. I would only be aware of the first parts of the contact before I "phased out," and in any other context I would call it a "trance," though it is not trance channeling.
Everyone experiences it differently though. For my channeling partner, she would experience vivid visuals throughout the entire session which would be translated through her into words. She would not remember a single word spoken during a session but could recall the visuals perfectly. Sometimes she did not consciously grasp the symbolic nature of the visuals. It was very exciting listening to her describe what she saw vs. the words that were spoken, and figuring out symbolic significance.
Another important factor of channeling is the fact that some of the accuracy of concept transmission rests in the hands of the channeling entity. It is very much an artful task for them to work with particular channels and knowing exactly how to transmit concepts in order for the channel to accurately express them. The longer a particular entity works with a channel, the better they know how their messages will be received and translated. However this can also be taken advantage of by negative entities looking to corrupt the info transmitted.
Some channels will consciously or unconsciously create a "character" which comes forward during channeling. The character is often created by both channeling entity and channeler, a sort of archetypal state of mind which can be shared and where concepts can more accurately and efficiently be transmitted. This also helps the channeler separate the channeling state from a normal conscious state. Bashar is a great example of this. I believe the theatrical nature of his character not only hooks people into listening to his message, but helps convey messages in an understandable way. When the channeler becomes proficient at presenting this personality, it gives the channeling entity a bit more "to work with." They have more control over the character than over the person themselves, and certain things can be shared which otherwise might not be clear.
