KEY FINDING 232 - On rare occasions, a spirit can replace a spirit in a body with that spirit's agreement to be replaced. This is called a walkin.

Afterlife 101 Section, Chapter 6: Walkins and possession

Question: Do walkins or replacement spirits ever replace with agreement the spirit of humans during their life?

Spirit Guide: If we understand this question, you are asking that, if a walkin comes into another human being, does the human being agree to that? Is that correct?

Question: Well, the real question is, do walkins exist?

Spirit Guide: Yes, they do.

Question: And they can replace a spirit in a body with that spirit's agreement to be replaced?

Spirit Guide: This is true. We will say that this is a very rare thing when it happens but it can and you will begin to see an increase in this happening.

Question: Can a walk-in be sent by loved ones that have passed over?

Spirit Guide: The answer to this question is no. The condition of a walk-in taking place is only between the two spirits that are involved in that process.

Question: Does possession of a human ever take place by an evil spiritual entity?

Spirit Guide: If an individual is in an extremely low energy field and a low vibration, more in darkness than in light in their life, we would have to say that yes, occasionally this can happen. Again, this is not an instance that happens regularly, but yes it can happen and it is an agreement again with both spirits that this happens.

Question: Is there such a thing as a zombie, where very limited human behavior accompanies a state of life, often called the "living dead"?

Spirit Guide: Again as you speak of a zombie it is a three-dimensional image that you upon earth have created. There are many people who are walking around in such states upon your earth because they have not connected to their spirit within them. Many of your people upon earth who have become addicted to drugs and who have very little sense of morality would be more what we would consider a zombie upon your earth for they have lost their connection to their spirit self. We have not said they are disconnected, we have just said they have lost it and they need to find a path back to it. What you are referring to about zombies is often a person's vision of a spirit who has remained upon earth and has not continued their journey to their true spirit self and these are many, many times very confused spirit energies and they are not necessarily negative as the word zombie implies. They are lost and don't know which direction to go. They are still very connected to earth but know that somehow they are not of the earth any more. And oftentimes when they are spirits they need a gentle help and a little love to show them how to continue that journey.

Agreements

Courageous Souls: Do We Plan Our Life Challenges Before Birth? by Schwartz

And my guides just showed me that sometimes a soul will stage a walk-in. Sometimes, it is an opportunity for a different soul to walk in [to the body] and let the original soul walk out. A detailed discussion of walk-ins is beyond the scope of this book, but it is indeed a real phenomenon. When a soul concludes either that it has learned or will never be able to learn all that had been sought in a particular lifetime, the soul can walk out of the body, meaning that it withdraws its energy from the physical form. Generally, withdrawal of energy results in the death of the body. If, however, another soul feels that its learning is best served by starting an incarnation later in life rather than as a newborn, it can choose to walk into that body. In this way, an exchange takes place.

Between Death & Life by Dolores Cannon

Cannon:  Have you ever heard the term "walk-ins"? 

Spirit:  That is correct. 

Cannon:  Can you explain that for me? 

Spirit:  As we mentioned earlier, there are more souls waiting to incarnate than there are bodies to accommodate them.  Sometimes there comes a time in an individual's life when he finds that he truly no longer wishes to be in the physical.  He has reached a point where the physical weights and cares have dragged the soul to a level from which it cannot sustain itself.  And so the individual is given the option to pass over to the other side.  There is then made available the opportunity for an individual on the spirit side to come and inhabit that body.  So there would be a mutual exchange of places, so to say.  This is very beneficial for both.  For you can see the original soul is released to his true home.  And that individual on the spirit side is then allowed a vehicle on which to work karma.

Strangers Among Us by Ruth Montgomery

[The Guides began to write]:  "The so-called Walk-ins are superior souls who have gone on after many earthly lives, and some of them need not return but are doing so in order to help others. They wish to avoid returning as babies, and enduring the childhood state in which valuable time would be wasted, so they do indeed take over, with permission, the bodies of discouraged or willing souls who are ready to depart.  Some are able to go directly to the purpose of their earthly return and have become philosophers and research scientists, while some are as yet unaware that they were not always in the bodies they now inhabit.  They make up a small but brilliant portion of today's society..."

Strangers Among Us by Ruth Montgomery

[The guides wrote:]  "Depending upon the condition of one's body and the readiness to depart, a few months at most are required by the Walk-in to study the akashic records of the departing soul, determine how to master the body, and understand the best ways for solving the dilemma in which the Walk-out has found himself."

Strangers Among Us by Ruth Montgomery

...the Guides stressed that help from discarnates is required to make the substitution of one entity for another.  "They arrange receptive channels and vibratory levels, and tune into the receptive one to help arrange a peaceful substitution.  They are insurance policies, so to speak, against a takeover by the wrong entity or by one whose vibrations are of a different wavelength than the one who wishes from his body.  Theirs is a skilled operation, as you might phrase it.  They are specialists in their work, and highly evolved."

Disagreements

Destiny of Souls by Newton

Not once, in all my years of working with subjects in regression, have I ever had a walk-in soul...To give another soul permission to come in and take over your karmic life plan defeats their whole purpose of your coming to Earth in the first place!

The Wisdom of the Soul by Ian Lawton

Can a soul vacate its adult body so another soul can walk in? ....So what did our sources make of this issue?  They were, once again, unanimous that walk-ins do not take place....The soul has chosen that body, and it couldn't leave without the body dying as well.  The bond between soul and body is too strong, and this would have the potential to destroy the body.  What would be the purpose of that?  A soul can only join while the baby is in the womb, and it takes the full time in the womb to make the connections between the soul and the body.  So it cannot be done at any other time.  And if a soul walks out, the body dies.

Life Between Lives by Michael Newton

The probing by the soul begins gently, carefully following the neurotransmitters of the brain while matching their own energy vibrations with the mind of the baby.  Just imagine the shock to the adult human mind for one soul to substitute the energy of its immortal character for another in mid-life.  I believe this would lead to either insanity or death.

{STILL IN PLANNING: Prospective Question}

Question:  232

In every case of individuals who have described their lives on earth during between-life regressions, there have been no instances of there being a "walk-in" where another spirit replaces the original spirit and the human body lives on.  Do "walk-ins" really exist and, if so, under what circumstances does this exchange take place?
