Unlike those channelers/mediums who go into a full trance by "stepping-aside" where another source takes over and occupies the individuals mind and body, which allows the outside source to communicate through that person, that does not happen in telepathy which is said to be a kind of temporary cohabitation instead.
In telepathy, the percipient is usually in a full state of awareness (or nearly so) in which they are not only self-aware but they are also aware of their surroundings too when they receive their messages. For most, the information is communicated TO them (as opposed to through them) in the form of clairaudience or clairvoyance. In the case of clairaudience, the individual simply repeats back what was said to them. But when the individual receives telepathic isolated words, images, thoughtforms and feelings or information in the form of symbolic meta-conceptual information units, he/she processes and repeats back that information not too unlike that of a bilingual simultaneous translator.
The question is, which form of mediumship ... full-trance channeling or telepathy... has the potential of being less contaminated by the individuals own self-generated thoughts rising from within that ultimately results in a more trustworthy and more precise version of the contents of the information from the source that was passed on to them (the medium)?
*with the exception of some unique and special situations but for the sake of brevity am only stating how it is in the vast majority of cases; most of the time.
