Summary/Abstract: This article offers an analysis of the language personality of the addresser in the channelings of Seth and Kryon. It is observed according to the three-level structure: the verbal-semantic, the linguo-cognitive and the pragmatic levels. Basic concepts GOD and HUMAN BEING are contrasted in human and multidimensional pictures of the world. Channeling discourses of both entities are proved to contain explicit expressions of the addresser’s intentions for perlocutionary effect – the addressee’s change of consciousness. The very process of channeling is described as a four-stage procedure of “translating” idea groups and thought packages into a human language.
