Nancy Piatkowski, writing in the "Journal of American Folklore", reviewed the book "The Channeling Zone: American Spirituality in an Anxious Age" by Michael F. Brown. Nancy writes that "He uses as prime examples The Seth Material and Michael Teachings, which have been copyrighted and published." ... "In "The Channeling Zone", Michael Brown has provided us with a lively, easy to read, yet scholarly look into a spiritual movement whose critics see it as Satanic and evil but whose followers are among the best-educated people in the country. Those who seek the guidance of channels are those who have found dissatisfaction with organized religion yet feel the need for the spiritual in a complex and changing society." Nancy Piatkowski was the Archivist of the Episcopal Diocese of Western New York and Archive Coordinator of the Department of Anthropology, Buffalo State College.
