Sylvia’s Question

Dear Elisa,

Discovering your blog has been a gift from Heaven. I am totally enthralled, and I thank you deeply for sharing it with us.

I was wondering if I might ask Erik a question? I lost my father in 1960 when I was 11 years old. It was undoubtedly the tragedy of my life, and the loss has never been overcome. His name was Rev. Carl Anderson Johnson and he was 42 years old when he died in 1960. He was born in Henderson County, North Carolina and died at Duke Medical Center in Durham, N.C. My name is Sylvia and I’m 60 now. My question is would he already have reincarnated and come back to earth or is he still around me in spirit? Any information would be so very happily and thankfully appreciated.

Your blog is a miracle. I hope you will continue it.

Thank you,

Sylvia

Channeling Transcript

Me: Okay, I’m going to try to get a couple more in here. This one is from Sylvia. She’s 60 years old and lives in—hmm, come to think of it, I don’t remember her saying where she lives. Anyway, she wants to ask about her father who died when she was only eleven. His name is Rev. Carl XXX, and he died at the age of 42 in the Duke Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina. She wants to know if he’s already reincarnated and…

Erik: Yes he is. He is. Reverend Carl, as he was known, has been her father and her grandfather in many, many past lifetimes. They’re platonic soulmates. This is Sylvia’s last lifetime, and the lifetime Reverend Carl is in right now is his last one. So they’re going to get back to the Heavenly Plane pretty damn close to one another, cuz Sylvia is gonna live for many more years and Carl is going to die kinda youngish. So they’re going to get here about the same time and enjoy being with each other here. In Heaven.

Me: Okay, good!

Erik: Now, Sylvia will want to ask how much longer, and she’s going to live at least into her mid-80s, probably longer. That’s why she isn’t going to be able to communicate with him no matter how good a channel she becomes. He’s just not here in Heaven.

    Elisa and Erik, I really have to echo those who are just blown away by your blog. For some strange reason I am very strongly attracted to everything you post. So, thank you so much for doing what you both do–(and Kim).

    I have a question as to the above post. Eric has facilitated in lucid dreams the reunion of deceased loved ones with those still living but you said that if the deceased loved one has already reincarnated that Erik may not be able to make this happen.

    If we are always met with loved ones who have already passed on when we die. Then what if those loved ones are reincarnated at the time of our death? Would they not be there to greet us on the other side?

    Thanks again for everything you are doing! I eagerly look forward to every post.

      I know, Pat! I’ve wondered the same thing! I have some questions concerning this on my list, but I won’t be able to get to those questions until I’m finished with all the Ask Erik ones that have piled up.

      So yeah, there’s no such thing as time in the afterlife dimension, so wouldn’t a loved one be in Heaven and in past lives and in future and present lives at the same time? In a timeless dimension, how do spirits perceive past and future lives? I just don’t get it. That’s a mind bender for me. Any ideas, anyone?

  • Jahmaiah

    I was wondering the same thing, I was thinking that we all have a master self, we are projected as whoever reached their their highest self on the earthly plane, this is one angle that I’ve been pondering, but it doesn’t address those like Melanie who have a child waiting on the other side, maybe whichever life was our last, so mind bending, it will all be understood when we get there perhaps. I was blown away by being able to manifest anything that we desire over there. I love food, I don’t fear death, but knew I would miss the taste of food, very comforting. I’m making sure that I build a repertoire of good tastes so I’ll have a reference when I cross over.Also I have to echo how great this blog is. It is so open and honest, i am slowing down and reaching the present, I was going a hundred miles an hour to nowhere. It is such a great thing to be present.

  • Sylvia Johnson Feldman

    Thank you so much Erik and Elisa. It’s so very comforting to know
    that all the time we lost together in this lifetime will seem as nothing when we are reunited. Has Erik conveyed much about the
    import of being in one’s last lifetime?

    Love,

    Sylvia

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Yes, he and other deceased seem to say that when you are in your last lifetime, then this indicates you are pretty much fully evolved. Of course you can continue to evolve and fine tune things in the afterlife, but you, Sylvia, are obviously WAY up there!

  • Steve

    I’m still of the theory that when we incarnate we are still on the other side (part of us). So, when we go to the light after death, we will be greated by aspects of the souls we love (our soul group), despite the fact that some may have already incarnated. Because there is not time on that side of the veil, anything is possible. I think that when we try to decipher all this within the limitations of our human brains, we just can’t. We are limited by our biological minds. Reality is probably too complicated for us to quantify.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      I know, that’s sort of what Michael Newton says, right?

  • http://channelingerik Pat

    Elisa…this is such a great conversation!

    According to Robert Monroe, in his last book–”Ultimate Journey”–regarding our “attachment” to Earth, our lives are like orbits around the Earth being constantly pulled by the “gravity” of our experiences.

    After many lives we finally overcome the irresistible pull of Earth and spiral out into the wonders of creation for further evolution. He called the entrance to this unbelievable next step in evolution the “Aperture” and no one knows what lies beyond.

    There are so many wonderful and exciting things to look forward to that we should never get bogged down in the drama. What a shame that we succumb from time to time. However, infinity allows all possibilities and certain evolution.

    Don’t you just love this? I think Shakespeare had it right…

    “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”

    GREAT discussion!

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Can’t pull rank on Shakespeare! He captures exactly what I was trying to say to Skoshi!

  • Skoshi

    Good morning from Virginia everyone! : )

    I understand from The Convoluted Universe books that a portion of our Self always remains “unfettered”…that our Self is MUCH greater, more than we can begin to imagine, and a human body couldn’t possibly contain a whole soul.

    When I first started meditating, I experienced “no time”, and it helped me “get it”. Otherwise, it would be a mind bender for me too. I was grateful to have had the experience, because I’m very analytical and “no time” might have been a hang-up for me, stopping my spiritual growth. I think our guides know our weak spots and give us what we need when we need it. It’s funny too, because at that time I could only mediate a few minutes. It was SO frustrating because my mind was so busy and worry, worry, worry!

    I had a lucid dream last night about my grandmother Katie. I don’t ever remember having dreamed about her, and she’s been dead at least 35 years now. It was SO joyous that I cried and cried. It made me wonder, even while dreaming, if Erik had arranged it. When I have lucid dreams about my father, who died in ’81, he looks SO well and healthy, and that’s how she looked too; not like when I last saw her.

    By the way, there’s a book by a woman reincarnation researcher who does regressions. A lot of my books are still at my house in NY so I can’t tell you her name! One criticism of reincarnation is that it can’t be so, because there are more people on earth now than ever. She developed a questionnaire trying to get to the bottom of that issue. Her research revealed that people are now reincarnating an average of 7 years after having left the fettered life; it used to be that they reincarnated every 100 or MORE years. And the “Convoluted” books show that there are many planets upon which souls reincarnate; that the earth is a very desirable location upon which to reincarnate because it is so beautiful and the problems are so complex that they allow for a lot of growth in a lifetime, so there is a waiting list to get to reincarnate here while babies are being born. That’s another reason for there being more walk-ins than previously…so many want to be here that if another soul is ready to go back, there are those that are happy to come in, even to an unwell body.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Absolutely, Skoshi! I’ve heard that there are perhaps an infinite number of souls, some of whom will never incarnate, some of whom incarnate only on occasions, some of whom incarnate in other dimensions or on other planets, etc. We have a long way to go before we fully understand the depth and breadth of it all. That long journey makes it all the more exciting.

  • Lidian

    About time in the afterlife – i have pondered this too. Time equates to percieving events in a liner fashion. So if there were no time, there would be no forward motion. Einstein showed us that space and time are part of a woven fabric. Can’t have one without the other. What we are getting from the other side is that there is a form of time and space. But it seems less tightly woven than on this plane. Paul Davies explored this in his book “God and the new Physics”. What does quantum tell us about God – because if God exists outside of time and space then how could God have any linear “thoughts” or “plans” or, well, anything we can relate to in these finite vehicles we are in.
    Also there is a concept in old, eastern religions that this plane we are on is the most material and heaviest. So getting off the wheel of karma here is only the beginning of our spiritual journey! In an infinite universe, as spirits evolve back to home (God), there are likely many levels of dimensions and planes of existence that we evolve through to allow God to experience itself. Just can’t concieve of them from here.
    For an example, consider the concept of the Lords of Meditation – beings so advanced from us that their purpose is mainly to dream up all the life forms that develop here for soul to come and inhabit. And that’s just for this little earth in a rather dull rural neighborhood of the galaxy where not much is going on!.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      God, Lidian, you are a master with the written word. It sent chills up my spine. My head, however, still hurts thinking about it all. We just don’t have the language to create the thoughts to explore it all…yet. Eventually, we’ll all figure it out, though. I wonder what Einstein thought when he first crossed over!

  • Steve

    I’ve read some of Monroe’s writings and they are fascinating books, indeed! I’ve always wanted to do a workshop at the institute in Virginia.

  • Lidian

    I always thought i would get into the Monroe workshops when I retire and really have time to delve into it! If you haven’t read My Big Toe i recommend it – it’s written by one of Monroe’s early researchers and i think it’s free on Google Library Books…

  • http://channelingerik Pat

    Steve and Lidian…I was fortunate enough to attend one of Robert Monroe’s workshops at the Monroe Institute about 15 years ago. My son, who was 16 at the time and the youngest ever to attend, went with me.

    I, unfortunately, was unable to have an OBE and still haven’t been able to experience the alternate reality behind the veil. My son had an experience with standing up while his body was still lying down. But other than that, it was fairly uneventful.

    I was very envious of those who could not only leave their physical body but who could go to the rest area where newly deceased people are usually taken. They experienced the serenity of the place and were moved by its indescribable beauty.

    My desire to go to the workshop was motivated by a very lucid dream I had when I was in my late teens that I will never forget. I actually was greeted in my dream by an incredible bright, white “light being”. The light approached and I “stepped inside it”. It was something that I have never been able to put into Earth words. But mainly it was this feeling of total and complete unconditional love. I have been wanting to understand this dream ever since. So, I am a “seeker” of the light so to speak and I’m still searching.

  • Danielle Notaro

    During the heyday of my most intense study and research, I visited The Monroe Institute. I didn’t do a workshop. I really had no money for it. But I wanted very much to at least step on the premises. Actually, I think one of the most meaningful books for me after Seth Speaks and all the Seth books, was Journeys Out Of The Body. And All the Edgar Cayce books. It’s like there was a progression or one ripple led to another author’s experience. At any rate, I was tapped to audition for a movie in NYC and the writer who went on to make Pump Up The Volume and several other movies during one of our meetings (we had several) and I talked and he gave me Journeys Out Of The Body. He never made our movie. And once I dreamed he and I were in a boat crossing under a bridge. He was reading a newspaper, smiling. There was a UFO over top us. And I realized how they appeared and disappeared so quickly. And then they said, “take care of unfinished business.”
    I had always been interested in psychic phenomena and kept dream journals. After reading these books my dreams amped up. From a very vivid encounter with Seth and his posse, to being embraced by the white light, to many adventures with UFO people/aliens and some precognitive dreams.
    After months of reading I decided one morning I would give OBE a go. I watched Pee-Wee Herman’s playhouse to get myself in a good mood. And then laid down next to a warm radiator. And went into meditation. And BAM. I was out of body. I told myself not to panic as my head was touching the ceiling. And then I said I wanted to go to the kitchen which meant I went through some walls. Which reminds me that when I moved back home my cousin died. He was 21. He would come to me in dreams. One night he and I were having a good time as he was teaching me how to tumble through walls. After I went through the kitchen I roamed around the next city over and then I was back in my body. I have had several OBE’s while dreaming or at times when I didn’t purposefully work on having the experience.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      I wish I could do that! God knows I’ve tried. I think I just need to practice regularly.

  • Danielle Notaro

    Maybe relaxing is key.

  • Lidian

    i think the monroe experience is probably more of a process – a journey to delve into that takes focus and time. Not something i have so much of at this stage of life! Danielle, glad to see your reference to the Seth books. Found that when i was 21 and have had a lifetime to explore how it is that we “create our own reality”. Seth books were my foundational “jumping off” point! There is an old video of Jane Roberts channeling Seth that is so cool to watch. Have you every seen? Maybe it’s on you tube nowadays….

  • Danielle Notaro

    Yes. I have seen that You tube, Lidian. I think self-realization in and of itself is a process. I can see, when I look back, how one “teacher” led me to another or rather followed the other. Or to think of it less linearly, this came to me in a dream one time, “ever expander circles”. One time I dreamed I was in the Youth Center of my childhood and I was sitting and trying to channel Jane Roberts. I think I was frustrated and then I heard Jane Roberts say. “let me come to you.” Like when I was ready or when everything had lined up for it to occur. Gertrude Stein once said something like we read the books we do because our subconscious has led us to them or that the author is articulating something we already know on a subconscious level.
