Walk-in is a term used by Ruth Montgomery for a highly aware entity from the spiritual dimension who, with permission, enters an unwanted adult human body in order to begin its humanitarian work at once by avoiding living the childhood years. A Walk-In experience differs from a spiritual awakening or Near Death Experience in one important way. The experiencer has the perception that their soul, instead of leaving and the body dying, leaves and is replaced by another. A starseed is an individual with strong memories and connections to lives and existences on other planets and in other forms. Many of these individuals, in reference to reincarnation, have not had many incarnations on the earth plane, or have had a life somewhere else very recently.
