Channeling Erik

Today, Erik came by to wish our housekeeper, Maria, a Happy Birthday. As you may already remember, Maria has been in our lives since Erik was 16 months old. The love between my children and her has always been undyingly strong, and Erik, in particular, enjoyed talking her ear off, teasing her, and giving her warm hugs.

Maria was alone with Erik on that dreadful day. She heard the gunshot and was the first to see him dead. Since then, Erik has tried to make it up to her with little signs, touches and smells. Today, as Maria was cleaning the stovetop, the Viking downdraft vent rose up from the counter, then slowly retracted. I looked over from the couch in amazement. She was nowhere near the controls. As she gazed stock still  with mouth agape, the vent went rose and retracted at least two or three more times. Maria and I both felt his presence strongly. Clearly, he was giving her a Happy Birthday wave.

Channeling Transcript

Me: Do they have a universal language where you are, Erik? I mean, how do souls speak over there?

Erik: It’s kinda the same as telepathy, but it has to do more with feeling what’s being said. Feelings are energy based and we are energy so… Mouths don’t move.

Me: Oh!

Erik: Well of course! It’s not like we have real lips and vocal cords and stuff! We don’t need that. There’s a lot to say about—oh, let me just show you.

(Long pause)

Jamie: Ah! That was a really cool visual.

Me: Hm!

Jamie: Um, if you can imagine a person standing in a room and all of the thoughts and words and how they feel are rotating around them, almost like a solar system.

Me: Uh, huh.

Jamie: And so when another person walks up to them, all of the information is accessible.

Me: Wow!

Jamie: It doesn’t have to be translated.

Erik: Yeah, it’s like information is coded in energy. Information is energy and vice versa. So since we’re all energy, including you guys, all that information is accessible, but it’s more freely accessible between souls over here. How do you think psychics channel or tap into the past or present? How does someone in the car next to you at a stop light sense when you’re watching him pick his nose and then turns to look at you?

Me: Oh!

Erik: It can be felt, merged with, communicated in many different ways. But telepathic, well, I guess that’s the best way I know how to explain it, Mom.

Me: This is all so fascinating, Erik. Thank you, my love.

Before I close, I’d like send out loving birthday wishes to my youngest daughter, Annika on this, her 16th year of life. She’s been through a lot in those short years yet has chosen to grow rather than wither in the face of that adversity. Annika, you are brilliant, loving, loyal, compassionate, independent, creative, and…let’s see, I’m sure there are several adjectives I missing. You know who and what you are, my little angel. I love you infinity.

    This is so interesting. Robert Monroe also talked about how he had to “prepare” for his many years of extensive out of body travels by learning to control his emotions. He learned that on the other side that emotions can really be too intense and to control them was paramount to his being able to explore in the farther reaches.

    He also spoke of communication as “telepathy” and mentioned that if a soul did not want to communicate, it simply would “close” his/her energy.

    He also said that if one was interested in another entity that the other entity could toss a “thought ball” to you which would contain all the information that one would need…pretty cool, huh?

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Wow, that is cool stuff, Pat! Which book of Monroe’s do you recommend?

  • http://channelingerik Pat

    Elisa, Monroe’s books are in chronological order as to the many years he had with his out of body experiences (OBEs).

    His first book is “Journeys Out of the Body” in which he describes his first experiences with his “frightening” OBEs when he didn’t understand what was going on and they would just “happen” (he thought he was going crazy). This was back in 1971 when there really wasn’t much written about OBEs. He even sought psychiatric help at first.

    His second book is Far Journeys in which he takes you further out in his travels from which he learned the most about how souls exist in the other realms.

    Ultimate Journey puts it all together in which he finally figures it all out. They are really an amazing set of books that should be read in the order they were written, each building on the one before.

    He was an amazing man, intriguing author and definitely worth the read.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Thanks girl! I’ll look into them! When we get the foundation going, wouldn’t it be great to have a lending library for those who can’t afford these books and seek knowledge about such spiritual issues? Dan Olson had that idea.

  • Paul

    Hi Elisa and Pat,

    I also understand that on the other side there is a greater sharing of who and what we are. In other words, if a certain group of persons on the other side want to get together to heal us mere mortals of our myriad of troubles, they can absorb each others energies.

    Imagine if all of us could tap into each others intellect, emotions, life experiences, etc., just by absorbing the energies that make it all up. That is what they can do on the other side. If ten persons get together on the other side to assist us mere mortals in healing they simply can absorb the energies that define each person. So, all of the ten persons in the group will instantly know everything about that person. They will know everything that they have learned. If they hadn’t learned that particular thing the other person would just absorb it, so to speak. Then those ten persons could be very powerful in working healings of all sorts. Because it would not be the strength of one, but would be the collective strength of ten working together as one being.

    Perhaps the thought ball is a minded machine. Just as the spirit orbs that we witness are minded machines. I believe that these spirit orbs are not the actual person, but a machine, if you will, that is controlled by the mind of the one that sent it. I would call that reflectivity. That is, the person could be located at a far distant place, but could have the ability to reflect their thoughts across the endless void to their loved ones.

    We have so much to learn my friends. We are at the precipice of great knowledge and awareness of the other side. Our deep grief will turn into great joy as the mysteries of life and of the universe open up to us. I would say that is way cool!

    Love,
    Paul

      In a way, we are absorbing each others energies through this blog and doing what we can to help others. So insightful, Paul!

    Paul have you ever heard of the 100 Monkey syndrome? Some scientists found that there were a bunch of monkeys on an island. They would eat a certain type of fruit but because it was dirty, it didn’t taste as good. One monkey figured out that by washing the fruit, it was better. He/she showed it to their friends and to their parents. Eventually 100 monkeys learned this trick of washing their fruit before they ate it. Suddenly when the 100th monkey learned this, monkey’s on neighboring islands started doing the exact same thing with no prior teaching. It was the “collective consciousness” that started it all. When enough monkey’s had learned how to do it, their energies (connected to the energies of the monkey’s on the neighboring island) “taught” these other monkey’s how to do the same thing. If enough of us continue to teach, learn, and share, all this knowledge eventually it will be accepted and understood by all because we are all connected! Pretty amazing!

      I wonder what the world would be like if everyone knew they were connected with everyone else, that we are all One? I guess this little Channeling Erik community comprises those 100 Monkeys. Hey, maybe that’s what we should name the foundation???

  • buddy boy

    Very interesting indeed. I have not had experiences such as this, but I have a friend that has had very “scary” experiences such as lamps moving off tables, forks flying across the room and a window exploding in her face.

    I cannot seem to log in with my user name and password, yet I am able to submit responses. Any suggestions?

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Hmm, what do you use as your user name? If you want, email me this and I’ll try to figure things out. My email is emedhus@gmail.com. What happens when you try to log in? Do you get an error message?

  • Melanie

    Happy Happy Birthday! You are so lucky Elisa to get these signs from Erik. I feel like I get out of bed everyday just in case today is the day that Kara will let me know she is here. I crave for that to happen each day. Erik is a very smart young man! Get him to work with my baby would ‘ya!!!!
    Lots of love.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      I’ll definitely talk to him. He needs to bring Kara across or he’s grounded! Stanley, one of our readers, keeps saying a little girl he doesn’t know, keeps visiting him at night. He says she’s about 8 or 9. I’m wondering…. Maybe she needs help with her coordinates?? Keep talking to her at night, extend your love energy with your thoughts and visualizing yourself embracing her. Maybe Stanley can describe what she looks like? Perhaps you can email him a photo. If it’s her, we can ask Stanley to gently tell her she’s in the wrong place and she needs to go to her Mommy. Who knows, her confusion may be based on a past life connection with Stanley?? Again, I’ll ask Erik to help us out.

    Happy Birthday wishes to Maria & Annika–may this year bring you both more wonderful experiences with Erik–sending you B-Day {{{hugs}}}!!!

    Elisa, you are right about us all being able to share each others energy through this blog. (funny, I also have had the ‘gombu bug’:(). I so look forward to the insight and intelligent comments shared by everyone in the ‘Erik Family’. Blessing to all.

    Hello,

    I want to wish both Maria and Annika a very happy birthday. And I wish you both 100 more!

    Hey Pat – I’ve read about the thought ball concept many times. On their side, if the want to learn something quickly, one of those can be absorbed and it’s like reading an encyclopedia in 5 seconds. Very cool.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Dang, I could have used that in Med School!

  • Skoshi

    Happy belated birthday Maria and Danielle! And happy birthday Annika! : D

    We really have come a long way knowledge-wise since the 70s. Thank goodness. I was learning to read auras (everyone can learn)and was thinking it was a waste of time, but then I realized it would be very helpful for parents to know when and where an infant was experiencing pain, etc. It all shows in one’s aura. Or medical professionals to be able to diagnose an illness when someone has had a stroke or injury rendering them unable to talk.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      OOO! Teach me, teach me!!

  • mom2bzs

    This so resonates with me. I actually feel people’s energy and emotions. I can feel it accross the room, which can be good and bad in some situations. This entry explains a lot to me.

    Happy birthday to Annika! Tell her I hope she has a wonderful birthday!

    Sherry

  • Danielle Notaro

    Alexis & Skoshi, thanks for the birthday greetings and hugs. I feel them. And back at you with the hugs.

    Hi Epeavey and All,

    Yes, that is cool about the 100th monkey syndrome. I would say that is how we are connecting. Not to be overlooked is a piece of the Infinite Father that lives in each of our minds. We may think that just one person has no impact, but as we encircuit each other’s Father within we become more connected, more grounded.

    It is like we are one drop in a stream flowing by. We think that we are all alone. One drop, without guidance or direction. Yet, if we could fly high above the canopy and were able to look outside of ourselves, we would see not just one drop, but an endless stream of droplets flowing together, flowing endlessly.

    A drop of water cannot be separate because it is part of the whole. So too, we may think that we are separate, struggling to make our way in this life. Yet, when we look outside of ourselves, we do not see separateness, we see unity. We are part of the consciousness that started it all.

    The Infinite One wants to be partners with His mortal children. If we are partners with the Infinite One then nothing is impossible for us. Nothing is impossible for us because we are partnering with the Infinite One that has given us infinite potential.

    We are just children starting our journey. Yet, we are loved more than we can imagine. Elisa and I know the full import of what it means to lose a son, as do many of you here. Is there any way that Elisa or I can express the love that we have for our sons in mere words? It would be impossible. Our children are an intrinsic part of who we are. When our children die, we die with them. So, if mortal parents of this world can love their children so intensely, then what does that tell us about the Father of us all?

    Just as we view our children as an irreplaceable gift so the Father of us all views us in the same way. The Infinite Father is not a person far away that we cannot connect with. He lives with us in our minds walking the walk that we walk. He views us as an irreplaceable, priceless gift. There are no words that can adequately express the love that He has for us.

    If we were to deposit all the wealth of this world at the Father’s feet it would be meaningless. It would be meaningless because there is nothing more priceless than the gift of our love that we give back to the Infinite One that gave us life and that gives us unconditional love.

    We are all connected to an endless stream that flows from the Eternal to all of His finite children down below. We sometimes get bogged down in words, but words have no value. What matters is that the word we have searched for is really our life. The word is the gift of our life giving love to all those that are passing by.

    Love,
    Paul

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Oh this is just beautiful, Paul. I love the stream analogy, because it fits so perfectly with the fact that we’re flowing along on a journey, and we’re doing so together. The stream can’t flow with just one drop and the drop can’t flow without the entire stream, so yes, how connected we all are. I’m glad.

      It’s true that losing a child is like losing oneself. Even worse, because unlike losing a limb, it hurts forever, it’s impossible to fully compensate to your original level of functioning, and the pain seeps into so many levels: spiritual, emotional, mental, physical, etc. To make matters worse, since we are all connected, our pain spreads to our loved ones and hurts them too. All we can do is manage with our new lives, try to help as many people as we can, and await the day that we’ll finally be whole once more.

    Hi Elisa,
    Thought maybe you would like to glance at these web sites that I return to day after day. I am in year three in my struggle through grief, I am stuck at anger, can’t seem to get past it.

    michaelprescott.typepad.com
    http://www.georgeanderson.com
    whitecrowbooks.com/michaeltymn
    http://www.lisawilliams.com
    http://www.victorzammit.com

    There is loads of info on all of these sights, lots of links to free books to read, etc…
    On George Andersons’ face book page, he often comments with beautiful words of wisdom.

    Sincerely
    Cindy

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Thanks for sharing these, Cindy. I’m very familiar with all except the whitecrowbooks and michaelprescott, so I can’t wait to explore. I am so so sorry for your grief. I don’t think I’ll ever get over my loss either. Maybe we just have to find our new normal. Meanwhile, I hope to turn my loss into positives, but it’s not easy, is it? Have you shared more about your loss with our loving community? Maybe we can help?? Love you.

  • Epeavey

    Paul…beautifully said!

    mom2bz…I too am empathic. I can come home, walk in the front door and instantly know if my husband had a good day or a crazy/hectic one. The hardest is when I am working with pediatric patients and I can feel their pain, making me wonder if I will be able to have pediatrics as part of my practice.

    Skoshi…yes please! Teach me how to read aura’s. What an amazing gift it would be to help my patient’s in that way.

    Elisa…That would be a great name! I also like “The Collective Consciousness.” You should ask Erik and see what he says!

  • Kate

    You know, the water analogy is a truly good one, because water changes forms- but is always water. Sometimes it’s in a river, sometimes a cloud, sometimes in someone’s coffee- but it doesn’t ever really go away…it just changes forms and goes through transformations. From what we read on here, we are much like water.

    The book (and later movie) A River Runs Through It was always one of my favorites for the quote:

    “Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world’s great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs.
    I am haunted by waters.”

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Wow, and I feel as though my tears that have sprung from Erik’s death have merged with the tears of other bereaved and now flow together in rivers–in the physical sense, and in rivers of love.

  • Skoshi

    epeavy – I have a friend who was a psychologist but had to quit the field and become a lawyer because she was so empathic she couldn’t function. Reading auras is really just a matter of practice. There are books that explain how to do it. The method I followed: Essentially, you start by looking at yourself…JUST slightly above the surface of the skin. Then looking at others just above the surface of their skin…when they don’t realize you’re staring at them so you don’t creep them out. I had the advantage at the time I was learning that I was using public transportation. I could sit behind someone on the Metro and stare at the skin on their necks or arms. Eventually your vision expands. The first time I saw it was amazing. I have a bright, electric blue aura.
