- Problem of integrating the information -> Since the bodily ego must depart in order for trance channeling to occur, this automatically means the body is unable to "normaly" contain a sufficient amount of consciousness for normal/conscious channeling. Less consciousness in the body leads to less understanding, less insight. Hence the information presented must be interpreted and associated within normal consciousness from all parties analyzing the information. Therefore, the already difficult task of integrating the information recieved through conscious channeling, is via trance channeling even more troublesome.

Dossey (2012) provides the example of Frida Kahlo, an artist who was clearly trance channeling her art work.

On the days when I am to paint I am always roused very early — generally between five and six in the morning—by three loud knocks at my bed. I open my eyes and see my bedroom brightly illuminated, and immediately understand that I have to stand up and work. I dress myself in the beautiful iridescent light, and wait a few moments, sitting in my armchair, until the feeling comes that I have to work. It never delays. All at once I stand up and walk to the picture. When about two steps before it I feel a strange sensation, and probably fall asleep at the same moment. I know, later on, that I must have slept because I notice that my fingers are covered with different colors, and I do not remember at all to have used them.[1]
