He also asks: “The 5% of people you mention with this gift of being able to have certain abilities, is this relating to that they can, at will, conduct astral travel?”

Your channel was wanting to provide some reassurance in putting a positive face on this to give your son credit for being special in the face of such gruesome events. This is quite true as he is a special little guy and will have many talents on display as he gets older. His vulnerability to spirit manipulation has more to do with his sensitivity than to his ability to leave the body. The latter is a capability of a small percentage of human beings who can do it at will, so in that sense if done spontaneously or through the intention of the person, it represents a gift for sure. But the 5% of people who are taken out of body by spirit meddlers to torment them are not typically gifted in that way. It is the spirit meddlers who know how to manipulate the energy to make it happen and that does not mean the person themselves can do it willingly and purposefully themselves. Astral travel carries significant risk as is true of all intuitive outreach without requesting divine protection. So if engaged in, astral travel must be done after carefully cultivating divine support and an ongoing partnership so it is done for a high purpose and in concert with an active request for assistance to the divine to maintain safety. Given his experience with such consequences, it is unlikely your son will ever engage willingly in the attempt to do astral travel, but will likely have misgivings supplied courtesy of his deep subconscious which bears the brunt of the trauma created by the experience he has gone through. His conscious mind is not aware of these episodes and that is a blessing in one sense, as he is too young to know how to ask for help with something so bizarre. But this is why the people who suffer from these experiences often exhibit sleep disturbances with little awareness or understanding why—they are getting the deep anxiety without a direct communication from the deep subconscious to blow the whistle on the ongoing wrongdoing. That is because of the disconnect present in all humans to separate the mind into discrete levels that have difficulty or an impossibility to communicate with one another. That is true of all humans, so he is not faulty in a way others are not, but is limited by the consequences as is true for everyone who has a worrying deep subconscious that sees many, many things including all of the other lifetimes via the akashic records and worries about facing serious trauma as a consequence. This happens from infancy and becomes quite concerning even to the infant as it will not understand what it observes intuitively and the meaning, but will appreciate something bad is happening and will recoil and become anxious. This is a significant reason why infants cry a lot—they are trying to cope with the flood of information, some of it gruesome, they are privy to in other parallel lives. So it is important to make his current life as calm and happy and love‑filled as possible. This is what gives people a fighting chance to grow up healthy and happy and have some stability to have a successful life of fulfillment. We can help make this happen for your son with due diligence to keep him safe.
