Please clarify: “Can channeling one’s higher self, or someone else’s, require use of Creator’s translator or can it be done by many people, particularly if they have experience channeling the deep subconscious, or dark spirits, and have the necessary confidence and belief quotient?”

The confusion has arisen because channeling of the higher self is not strictly impossible, it is always possible given Creator's translator is in place if the person has the desire, belief quotient, and figures out a way to utilize the translator effectively. For those not having this preplanned blessing of technical equipment in place, some may attain the ability to do higher self channeling nonetheless. This is not a large percentage of people who might wish to do so, so it is still a relatively uncommon capability and, indeed, as the question reflects, would necessitate some significant effort on the part of the individual to ensure their belief quotient was sufficient, their belief in themselves was sufficient, and work to develop the facility, preferably by practicing on easier subject candidates like the deep subconscious mind or dark spirits, as the practice would enhance the possibility of a successful reaching of the higher self by a small percentage of people. If success is slow in coming and develops slowly, as with getting only fragmentary information at first, and possibly for a prolonged period of practice, many will end up giving up the chase and quit in frustration. So something being possible is not the same as it being a given or even likely. People vary widely in how passionate and dedicated they might be in pursuit of something that is difficult and demanding. This is no different than developing any high-level talent, it is always hardest and most awkward at the beginning. As with learning a musical instrument and putting in the work to become highly proficient, approaching or reaching a professional level, many painful hours of unsatisfactory outcomes must be taken in stride with the person staying the course to keep going until things become more fluid, natural, and productive at a meaningful level of performance.
