Respect.

I am a big fan of Esther Hicks, who claims to be possessed by a non-physical community of intelligences that calls itself “Abraham.”

I know. But nearly everything she says is like gold. Listen to a lecture. I don’t think it is a ruse (trying to trick the audience) so much as a creative method. Whatever it takes to create the flow, you know? And posession is one major channel, as it were, for female philosophers throughout history.

E.g., oracle of Delphi, speaking for Apollo. Respect.
