    Depends on your definition of channeling. Certainly, they believed that once
one's body died, the lower portion ceased to exist within a week or so, leaving
only the reincarnating part (atma, budhi, and budhi manas), so that they had no
reason to communicate with the living. On the other hand, they definitely
believed that it was possible to channel LIVING entities, such as the Mahatmas.
