You will hear this in New Age circles, in stories about mediums, and sometimes at a gathering where the speaker’s voice or manner suddenly changes and the room is told, “This is not me talking.” It is a belief word, not a science word; some listeners find it a comfort, others think it is a kind of theatre.
