Must deliverance involve a deceased person entering a medium’s body?

No. Sheng Zhen Men invites the deceased to the site and connects through a memorial tablet or lotus, without borrowing a body every time.
Dao Xuan and I discussed Sell Your Haunted House, where possession provides a deliverance medium. I wondered whether that also supports later character development. Our actual rites clearly identify the intended recipient on a tablet. Methods differ, but knowing whom we help matters.
Drama allows comparison and reflection while remaining distinct from practice. A medium used for plot does not make possession a prerequisite for actual deliverance.
