Channeling Erik

Many who have led such tortured existences like Kurt seem elated to transition Home again. This should in no way condone suicide. In past entries, Erik has explained time and time again why taking your own life is almost never the best option. When you cross over, you still carry the same emotional baggage with you, but you compound it with the misery your death leaves in its wake. And when you realize that you short-circuited not only your own spiritual mission but those of countless others, you’ll feel devastated. I’ve channeled such suicides and am touched by the burden of grief and guilt they still carry. And now, let’s see what else Kurt Cobain wishes to share with the world.

Me: Okay. So, was it your destiny to die when and how you did?

Kurt: Well, I know it was my destiny to die young. I knew it. I knew it from when I was little. I would even tell people that I wasn’t going to live a long life. 

Me: Wow.

Kurt: And I don’t think that was self-proclaimed; I don’t think I lived out my own words. I really said it because I felt it was true.

Me: Yeah.

Kurt: Maybe because I was neglected by  family, by that support that you would expect to have as a child—maybe it was because of that neglect that I had listened so hard to find peace that I—I think that’s when I found out what spirituality was. I think that’s when I damned God, but I actually wanted Him closer.

Me: Yeah.

Kurt: When you’re twelve, when you’re on your own already, when you’re sleeping on park benches, when you’re hiding under trees and bridges—

Jamie (to Kurt in disbelief): You were twelve?

Me: Gosh.

Kurt: Oh, I had taken off before then! Fourteen on, I considered myself my own identity, my own ship. I lived in so many houses, I just—I began to not care where I was.

Me: Oh, Sweetie.

Kurt: And that’s when you create that steel box inside of you that you take—you take it with you. You take the angst, the anger, and music was the only thing that could open it up.

(Long pause as we all digest this)

Me: What were you here to learn and to teach?

Kurt: Really, I was here to learn about pain and suffering so I could understand what it was.

Me: So, you could fully understand what?

Kurt: So in the depths and corners of my head, I could understand what it felt like to be at peace.

Me: Ah! Okay. What were you here to teach?

(Very long pause)

Jamie: He’s just kind of standing there, his arms are down by his side, he shifts his weight to one hip. He has tight jeans on and a grubby shirt. Blackish blue.

Me: Wow, you and Erik must go to the same tailor!

Jamie (laughing): It is kinda true, Erik! You can’t deny that!

Kurt: The only thing I hope I conveyed was the music. How to express yourself.

Me: Nice.

Kurt: And to speak up. I really think that if I wasn’t handed that guitar, if someone didn’t actually see that I could learn, I would have imploded.

Me: Mmm. Okay. Any regrets?

Kurt: Not being there for my child.

(Long pause)

Kurt: For hurting myself.

(Long pause)

Kurt: For breaking up the band.

Jamie: He’s saying he broke off the band before he committed suicide.

Me: Oh, really?

Kurt: Yeah.

Me: Well, at least Nirvana’s music is immortalized. (short pause) Can you share a past life that you feel most affected this last one?

(Pause)

Jamie: He’s not really talking to me, but he’s showing me images. It’s during a war. He’s a young man, and I see him belly down on the ground in a shallow ditch.

(Pause)

Jamie: It looks like World War I. He’s trying to get directions to help protect one, two, three, four other people that are with him. Five in total. It almost looks like they’re pulled away from their troop, their brigade, whatever it’s called. So, he was supposed to be the one in charge, but they wouldn’t listen to him.

Me: Hm. Okay.

Jamie: —because they didn’t like him. They thought he had a foul attitude, but in the moment of need, they should have listened, because he followed his instinct, and he got out alive, and the other four didn’t choose to follow him. They sacrificed their lives.

Kurt: Yeah, and that connection of your attitude is what people will most likely believe to be able to trust in you.

Me: Yeah, attitude, not the words.

Kurt: Yep. So that just kind of pissed me off even more, and so when I came into the life that we have been talking about, I just didn’t control my personality. I just let it be whatever the fuck it wanted to be, so, the true people who don’t rely on personality but rely on honesty would be able to understand them.

Me: Yeah, that way you can figure out who your real friends are.

Kurt: Oh, yeah.

Me: Okay, one last question. Of course you can say anything you want, Sweetie, but  I want to know—now that you have this new perspective from the other side of “the veil,” is there anything that you’d like to tell us? Any messages for humanity?

(Long pause)

Kurt: The human body is a container. It’s not meant to be sealed up when you’re alive. You’re meant to take the lid off the box.

Me: And express yourself, just as you were meant to teach others?

Kurt: Yes.

Me: Okay. Anything else you want to say before we close the interview, Darling?

Jamie (giggling): I know now why River Phoenix said what he did at the end, because I just caught Erik whispering to Kurt, “So, Dude, what’s your favorite animal and what’s your favorite color?

Jamie and I laugh hard!

Jamie: And Erik is so funny, like sixth grade humor, but everyone thinks it’s funny!

We all laugh again. Typical Erik.

Kurt: The wolf. My favorite animal is the wolf. Here’s why. They’re all meant to be loners, but they always travel in packs.

Me: Ah!

Kurt: Get that one! And my favorite color is black.

Me: Of course it is, Kurt! Okay, well, thank you Sweetie, and if you ever need anything, just holler at Erik, and he’ll get that to me.

Kurt: Well, if you ever need anything, you holler at me!

Me: Thank you, Kurt!

(Pause)

Me: Oh, Erik, can you run get River Phoenix again? I forgot to ask him what his life’s work is now.

(Long pause while Erik asks that question)

Jamie: Okay. Erik comes back. He says River says to be, um—oh, say it again, Erik! It just went in one ear and out the other. Shwook!

Erik: To learn to love himself and start bringing the healing arts—whether it’s music, acting, hands-on healing back to earth.

Me: Well that’s a worthy cause, my boy.

    Great interview. I LOVE Kurt Cobain n’ Nirvana! Didn’t realize he had such a sad start to life. Poor boy. How could a mom not love a little boy like him? It breaks my heart.

    Glad he’s happy now he’s back home :)

  • Lena Moreno

    Way to post my favorite Nirvana song! Thanks sooooo much again for posting this. Kurt is definitely one of my biggest musical influences. Anyways, since I see you mentioned that you like Sublime in the last post, is Bradley Nowell on your list of people to channel? He’s another one of my idols and I feel like someone so full of love. I’d be really interested in hearing what he has to say.

    I don’t really get it when Kurt says his music was an escape. I had my moments when I listened to nirvana and I still do; but, it was always the kind of sound that you could tolerate during a hangover or with the flu. You could relate to it but you never could call it uplifting or feel good. It just seems Kurt used his music to let everbody feel with him but he was moving further into a funk with it instead of out of one. And I beleive him when he says his life was all about the suffering and that’s really sad.

      Sometimes people find beauty and solace in the expression of angst and sadness.

      • anna

        Elisa, I think that’s why we still have the angst and the sadness because we do still find beauty in that or relief or resonance. As long as we still need these things they will continue to show up in our reality.I often ask God how much suffering in all it’s various forms throughout the ages do you need to understand it? And it’s like God says, how much do you need? We have a lot of wonderful and creative art from people like Poe and Van Gogh , yet they were very troubled souls. And try as you might; you, wouldn’t have gotten that type of work had they been “fixed”. People show up when you need them in the way that you need them, regardless of how you think you would rather see them.

        I’m going to post soon what Erik says about suffering. It’s pretty amazing. All a matter of perspective.

    I am puzzled that Kurt seems to still have anger re: how he felt that others treated him…. I was under the impression that on the ‘other side’ one can see the big picture and have an understanding of the behavior or feelings of others.

    So if the other side is pure love and peace, how can anger still exist?

      The only thing you lose when you die is your body, but emotions are different there. I can’t remember what Erik said, but they do evolve, as do the senses. If you search the term emotion, you’ll probably find it.

      • Liz

        It almost seems as if Kurt had to “come back down to our level” in order to really answer these questions in ways we’d understand? So is this why he seems like the Kurt we knew down here? He still sounds troubled, but he also sounds pretty happy to be where he is. He continues to inspire us musically and artistically; I wonder if he finds this influence more satisfactory where he is now, as opposed to the influence he had while living on Earth? Wish I could ask him! :)

        Many Spirits say that the Spirit realms are better because their expanded consciousness is free of the narrow confines of 3d life and they can touch more lives and enjoy it more. But they also say there is something to be had in the narrow confines of the “earthly now moment” where the creative involvement excludes all other reality and one can gain a more full understanding of the experience.

    • http://www.facebook.com/jasonatshapeofacloud Jason At Channeling Erik

      Spirit’s still have the full range of emotions and more. And what and how they express that totally depends on experience. How much one can see and be aware of totally depends on many things; such as if their attention is drawn to it, or they feel inclined to explore it. Once they know about something they will not fully understand it until they gain hands on experience with it, thus incarnation. With each experience, consciousness and awareness expand. There are plenty of spirits who sit like lumps on longs and exist in limited realities of their own creation. One can see the bigger picture, but only if they alter their perceptions to include it through the various ways of doing so. Anger is not necessarily “bad” it’s how one applies it to experience and then how one see’s one’s self and the reality around themselves’. For example, one can have anger at the injustice of child labor. But how good or bad it is depends on if they kill over it, or if they change lives for the better. It’s all point of view. Anger exists as a tool of duality and is useful depending on use. Same with fear, grief, humor, joy, peace, love, etc. All are manifestations of divine creation. Just degree and spectrum are different.
