Shaper influence?
Prayer and meditation appears to be measurably different than functioning as a medium. This may also point to two distinct path to Enlightenment. Does the Mind glyph correlate to the prefrontal cortex?
Quote: In contrast, when practitioners surrender their will, such as when they speak in tongues or function as a medium, activity decreases in their frontal lobes and increases in their thalamus, the tiny brain structure that regulates the flow of incoming sensory information to many parts of the brain. This suggests that their speech is being generated from some place other than the normal speech centers. Believers could say this proves that another entity is speaking through the practitioner, while nonbelievers would look for a neurological explanation.
