Another announcement before Janis takes over: Who’s game for a Channeling Erik Weekend of F%$#ing Enlightenment in Austin, TX sometime in February? It’ll be very similar to the hit weekend we had in Atlanta.
Okay, Janis. Take it away!
*******************************
Me: What did your surroundings look like when you crossed over?
Janis: It looked like the room I was in, and then those walls kind of peeled apart.
Me: Interesting.
Janis (sounding like a evangelical preacher): I didn’t have that, you know, immaculate, illuminated tunnel or light that we know our Jesus provided for us. (She laughs.)
Jamie: Ah oh. I told Erik to kick the soap box over to Janis; I can feel it coming!
We all laugh.
Jamie: She kind of rocks back and forth on her feet. She doesn’t stand still much. She kind of has this flow to her body movements.
Janis: I recognized people that I’ve never met before, and I thought that was odd. I’d look at them and smile. I knew I knew them, and I knew I was close to them, but I didn’t know why. And it didn’t matter. It didn’t matter at all.
Me: Interesting.
Janis: Then, I had this overwhelming sensation of laughter and relief that I was done!
Me: Ah.
Janis: And I was so young.
Me: Yes, you were.
Jamie (to Janis): Were you?
(Pause)
Jamie: She doesn’t appear to be all that young. She looks like a middle aged woman. That’s how she looks right now.
Me: Well, those drugs are pretty hard on a body, you know!
Jamie: Ooo, yeah, I didn’t think about that.
Me: Janis, was it your destiny to die when and how you did?
Janis: I’d have to say yes.
Me: Why?
Janis: So much was in line, uh, because I think if I didn’t go this way kind of on my own, then who else would I have wiped out?
Me: What do you mean?
Janis: I had such a force around me, and I didn’t know how to use it properly. Looking back, the scary thing was, how many other people would I have put into jeopardy?
Me: Oh, okay. Were you just finished with what you came here to do, or was your death meant to teach something?
Janis: To teach.
(Long pause)
Me: And what was that?
Janis: And I think it did!
Me: Was it “just say no to heroin and Southern Comfort,” or what?
Janis (laughing): I’d have to say it’s about not giving your resources away.
Me: Ah, okay. Can you tell me about your afterlife now? What do you do there? What does it look like? Do you have a “life’s work” there?
Janis: My life’s work is just to be me!
Me: Ah, good!
Janis: I’m not trying to keep my name alive; I’m not trying to participate in something that’s above my head. I’m just being me. I’m enjoying what I’m seeing on earth, but more so, I’m enjoying what I’m learning here.
Me: That’s great Janis. Have you gained any insights given your new perspective on the other side?
Jamie laughs at her answer.
Janis: Yeah, you know, we have a really shitty, shitty culture.
Me: Yeah, we do, parts of it, anyway.
Janis: And the only element I see that can motivate it to open up, to flower for consciousnesses to open is music. It was your one chance to let your body move in ways that it couldn’t move in any other part of your day. It was the one thing that transcended inhibition, and I don’t see much musical breakthrough right now. I’m hoping that’s about to come up.
Me: Yeah, we need you back, Girl!
Janis (laughing): Don’t count on it!
Me: Aw, that’s too bad! So, were you here to learn or teach anything?
Janis: That takes me back to what we were just talking about—learning how not to give your resources away.
Me: What do you mean by that, exactly?
(Very long pause as Erik, Janis and Jamie talk)
Janis: Resources—the ones I’m talking about—are anything that you create personally to bring joy and happiness to yourself, whether it’s your ability to fix, repair, write, sing, give, counsel. The whole movement that I was stuck in—and it was so exciting—is that you could give it away, give it away, give it away. That it was all free. That there weren’t boundaries tied to things. But nobody slowed down and thought about the balance that needed to come with it. We went from one extreme to another.
Me: Yes, exactly.
Janis: No, a truer to life statement would be that I was here to learn to keep the balance.
Me: And as you implied earlier, your death was meant to teach that too, right?
Janis: Yes.
Me: Were you meant to teach anything through your life?
Janis: I feel like I was here just to have a good time, but most of my lesson was not in the words that I sang—because they were so personal to me—but in the act of me leaving and the demise toward the end of my life.
