Channeling Erik Family Member, Debbie, shared what I think is a mind bending spiritual experience. Thank you so much for sharing this with us, Debbie! We love you!

Dear Elisa

For some months now I have contemplated sharing with you what I will call “My Experience.”  I have held off because quite frankly, what happened is so unbelievably overwhelming I was not sure I should share it.  Recent subjects and questions on the blog have prompted me to send you this email.  My hope is that it may give you some peace and if you think it is appropriate to share this with the readers, it will also offer them some peace as well. I call this my ”Experience” as I don’t know how else to categorize what occurred.  I do not believe this was a dream however it happened when I thought I was asleep.  I do not think it was a NDE, as I am healthy without any diagnosed illnesses. And I do not believe it was an out of body experience because what I experienced was not really about me, rather it was a sneak peek of the other dimensions that are in store for all of us.

As you read this please keep in mind that it is with great difficulty that I try to relay this information, because the human language simply does not have the words and my mind does not have the capability to express the hugeness of what I experienced. So, here goes.

About a year and a half ago, after going to bed one night I found myself in a place. I knew it was me but my body was not “in” this place as the others were, I was there but only from an observation standpoint.  “There” was other worldly and I knew it was heaven, for lack of a better word.  What I saw was a vast waterpark, the biggest one could imagine.  It was a kaleidoscope of colors, and not color as we see it, the colors were spectacular, they were off the spectrum.  The water was actually color, swirling and moving in a fluid, glorious way. And all of this was not my reality, it was the reality of hundreds of little children who were with their parents.  I had knowledge of these children.  They had experienced serious illnesses and much suffering in their little lives as well as their parents. But now they were all happily playing and the love was something I cannot describe. The waterpark changed landscape at the whim of any child. For instance if one child wanted a purple dragon that spewed green water then that is what they saw and experienced.  This however did not interfere at all with any of the other children’s desires.  It all played out in simpatico, and so peaceful… 

My eyes then drifted to the right where there was a massive roller coaster type ride.  There I saw a life long friend of mine putting her young son on one of the cars.  My friend and her son are not dead. In fact she has two sons.  The one she was assisting is her son who has many of the same issues that Erik dealt with and that my nephew dealt with when they were on this earthly plane. Her son is 20 years old. Here he was a small child and they were now blissful souls together as mother and child.  The next perception I had was of my cousin and her husband. They kind of drifted by with huge smiles on their faces.  They looked to be in their mid twenties (they are 60 now) and they were wearing matching black leather jackets. (I keep meaning to ask them if they ever had matching leather jackets). I could see with great detail the grain of the leather, every hair on their head and feel their inner peace.  They are still alive as well. I remember thinking to myself “why am I seeing people that are still alive, when there are so many that I know who have passed and I am not seeing them?”  That thought instantaneously took me to a lush green park. Just for clarification, when I say that thought “took” me, I did not physically go anywhere, I was just there.  Hard to explain.

In the park was a bench sitting under a tree.  Sitting on that bench was a dear friend who had passed about a year ago.  He was 48-50 when he died.  Now he looked maybe 30, healthy and fit with a huge smile. Elisa I could see every fiber of every thread on his clothes.  I can still see them to this day. I could see every hair on his head, the twinkle in his eyes were pure color and light. Telepathically he asked me if I would like to go camping.  He was an avid outdoorsman, it was amazing.  He died in his sleep on the floor of his apartment while watching Ohio State play football.  My brother in law found him, they were best friends.  My brother in law is also my nephew Johns father.  My heart bleeds for him and what he has had to deal with.

This next part is what resonates so deeply with me, and what I hope will convey some peace to your readers who are wondering or questioning what has happened to our loved ones.  I was now  in a “place”, but not a physical place. In this place I had my body, but it was not my current body (thank God). At the time I had recently turned 50. My body however was probably 20ish, maybe 30 at the most.  I was at a high elevation but not on anything physical, I just was there. I can liken it to being on the highest point of a mountain but there is no mountain. My hair was blowing but not really moving. There was an indescribable light enveloping me.  It was not like looking at a light, it was just a soft white light.  It just “was”.  And in this light I knew Everything. I capitalize Everything because this was total knowledge beyond the comprehension of the human mind. This was total peace, total love, total understanding. This light WAS EVERYTHING. I knew that there was a reason for everything, absolutely everything that happens to us on the earthly plane and this was a totally freeing and peace filled knowing. There is absolutely NO way I can describe this. I remember looking back over my left shoulder and in my minds eye seeing the earth, not as the astronauts see it from space, but from this knowledge level.  And my mind drilled down to my children, and I knew that they would be fine without me, because they have their destiny and it will be fulfilled.  It is THEIR destiny, their life plan, not mine. No matter what I do, they have their OWN destiny and I am not able to control it. But I knew that whatever their lives bring for them that it is okay there is a plan for their lives and it is bigger than any of us, and it is Good, no matter the outcome.

I am grasping for words to explain all of this. It is just so much bigger than any of us.  The collective peace was overwhelming. I don’t know if any of us can truly experience total peace while in this physical body like I experienced there. The knowing was all encompassing.  It wasn’t like knowing why the grass is green or any other question we could possibly fathom, this was total, freeing, liberating knowledge.  Elisa I also knew if I never went back that would be OK.  I didn’t feel like I had unfinished business or anything I needed to say to anyone, I knew there was a greater energy in motion and everything was the way it should be.

My final experience found me back at the waterpark. This time from out of the distance my father came walking to me. He passed 17 years ago.  I am crying as I write this now. He was a truly loving, gentle soul and was loved by everyone. As he came towards me I could again see every thread of his clothing, every detail of his face right down to the pores of his skin, every color of every hair on his head.  Then he held me and I started to cry as we embraced. There was so much love there. The moment I started to cry is the moment I awoke or became aware of my physical surroundings again, and I was crying.

For at least 2 days after this experience I could barely communicate with anyone. My mind was numb, but was also reeling from what I had experienced. I felt as if I was walking in a cloud.  What I did know was what happened was real.  It was not a dream and that is even harder to comprehend. I have shared this verbally with only two people. The first person I shared this with wept with me as I tried to relay my experience, it was that deeply moving. This is the first time I have put this is writing. The words are weak compared to the hugeness of what we all have to look forward to. It is my hope you can find some solace from what I have shared.  Erik and all of our loved ones ARE in such an incredible place. Our journey is their journey, and all of our journeys are one.

I wish you much love and peace.

Debbie

All I can say is WOW, Debbie, you described this so well, I felt I was there. I understand how challenging this, because our language is meant to describe our very limited three dimensional, five sense reality.  To the rest of you, when it doubt, share, share, share. We are in a safe play to do so.

  • DonnaF

    Debbie, I can’t tell you how uplifting your message is and how hopeful it has made me. It came at the right time for me. I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to post this.

    Love, Donna

    Hi Debbie

    I have had similar experiences when I was young, going unexpectedly out of body in the middle of the day and also a couple of amazing “dreams” in the sleep state, like yours. There are no words to describe the colors and movement and the knowing and enveloping love on the other side (but you did a really good job of it!). I would try each time to bring the colors and songs back with me when I came back into my body. They felt and sounded sooooooo familiar, I was sure I would be able to remember, but no. The flowers were singing and loving and the colors had information and all kinds of other aspects to them. It still feels impossible to describe on Earthly terms.

    So anyway, interestingly, I just this minute finished reading Neale Donald Walsch’s book “Home With God”, which made me think of Erik and Elisa, and made me scurry back to my computer to check out ChannelingErik to see if there are any new posts…and here is your letter! I’m grinning ear to ear right now because the experience you had is explained in the book, almost to a “T”. I hope you will pick up the book and read it and you will feel comforted.

    Thank you for sharing your experience. I loved reading it!

    Lots of love to you,
    Nora

    Hi Debbie thanks for sharing that. I’m reading a book called Evidence of the Afterlife – exploring NDE’s – I’ve been reading similar stories but they are mainly from people in crisis situations -truly near death. What a gift that your experience was so peaceful yet so profound.

  • Debbie B.

    Donna and Nora,

    Thank you for reading the post. Donna I am so happy that sharing my experience has brought you hope. That was my intention when sharing the story with Elisa. To Nora, it would be great to be able to share our stories face to face and I am so happy to hear from someone who has had similar experiences. I have not read “Home with God” but not too long after my experience I picked up a short book in the grocery store titled “90 minutes in Heaven” by Don Piper. It blew my mind with the similarities. What I do believe is I was given not even a mere glimps of what awaits us on the other side. I only hope I can remain strong and committed to what I have seen so when my time is up I will not be afraid. The wonderful thing that has occured since my experience is that so much of what we hear everyday from so many mediums of information rings true, ie “ask and you shall receive”, “the power is within you”, “do unto others, the golden rule”, “our body is a tabernacle” and on and on. All faiths and dogmas seem to carry the same intrinsic message. If only the world would listen to what it already knows…
    To Elisa….THANK YOU for all you do. You are indeed an angel to many.

      People are not angels unless they are surrounded by angels. Love you Debbie.

      Oh, Pat, thanks so much for sharing your amazing experience. You’ve touched so many people, even those you’ve yet to recount. I know you’ve touched my life and for that I’m very very grateful. Know that I love you and that you and the rest of our little family here are in a place of love. Love is all there is, all that matters.

  • Jahmaiah

    What a beautiful experience, thank you for sharing. I’ve had three lucid dreams in my life, the colors, the depth of detail, nothing like a dream at all. I’m thankful to have read your experience, through reading it I felt like I was there, I want to fulfill my destiny, and am so thankful that our human lives are not the end.

    Hi Debbie, Elisa…and all other dear blog members. Since Debbie was so courageous to share her experience, it gives me courage to share mine as well.

    First, I understand completely how hesitant Debbie has been to share this experience with anyone because it is so incredibly personal and incredibly beautiful that there really are no words to describe it.

    I had my “dream” experience the day I and my husband were to leave for Saudi Arabia for a 2 year contract working at a hospital in Riyadh. We were staying at my parents house and they were to take us to the airport the next day.

    That night I had a lucid dream that I will NEVER forget. I will try to describe it, but again, it is very difficult.

    In this dream, I found myself with my immediate family sitting in a room waiting for something. Funny as it was, we were sitting on those hard metal chairs like you find in school lunch rooms…lol.

    We were anticipating something really wonderful but were unsure as to exactly what it was. Then as we were all looking forward, an “energy” came through that was telling us not to be concerned with who died first on the earthly plane.

    We, in the family, were concerned if my mother would pass first or my father. My father was completely dependent on my mother for everything and we knew that if she passed first, it would be extremely difficult for my father to be without her.

    This energy told us that it made no difference as to the timing of any of our deaths because we all have a plan and a purpose for which we will experience independent of any of the other family members. Death is not something that closes doors, it opens it. And, all experience is part of a plan, even death.

    This gave us all great comfort and there was such a warm feeling of acceptance and love in the room. It was amazing.

    Then something really incredible happened. This tremendously bright, white light formed at the front of this room. It was so bright that I couldn’t really look at it but I was so mesmerized by it that I continued to look.

    For some reason, unafraid, I simply walked toward this light and “stepped inside it”. I know this sounds really weird but that’s exactly what I did. As I stepped inside, it drew me to itself in an incredible embrace of light and warmth. I began to swirl around this energy totally losing all feeling of my body or reality or anything “conscious”. I became one with this energy is the best way I can describe it.

    As I was swirling around inside this light I was overcome completely with the feeling of unconditional love. When I say unconditional love, I mean unconditional love. Even if I were someone as evil as Hitler, this love would embrace me and love me the same. I cannot possibly describe this in words, and no one can really understand love like this on this earthly plane. I remember that there were huge tears of joy rolling down my cheeks as I truly understood what bliss and ecstasy is awaiting us on the other side.

    Shortly thereafter, I woke up and was visibly shaken by this dream. I, like Debbie, could hardly speak about it for months and years thereafter. All that I knew is that for some reason I was shown this type of love and knew that at some point I was supposed to use this experience to help others.

    Then years later, working for a large national corporation, I was offered a resident speakers position to give a presentation at the New Employee Orientation each month regarding Compassion. I knew from this experience that I had years before that I would be speaking about “Love”….unconditional love.

    At the presentation, I would give each participant a hand out that had a picture of a beautiful pink rose with the many ways spelled out in which compassion is shown to others in our lives and how important it is. After every presentation, I would see these pink rose sheets tacked to the participants’ cubicle walls to remind them of what we shared together.

    I will never forget this one person who was so moved by my talk that she came up to me afterwards and embraced me sobbing uncontrollably, telling me that she had been sexually abused as a child and had lived all her life in fear.

    After hearing my talk she knew then that she could chose love instead. When she embraced me it was the same incredible feeling of unconditional love that swirled around me in my dream. Again, I cannot explain it. It was electrifying and so incredibly gratifying.

    I think what this has taught me is that no matter how insignificant you may think your contribution is here on earth, if you touch just one person, it has a ripple effect that keeps expanding and expanding. The important thing to remember is to just reach out even if it is just one person at a time. We all make a difference and we all have a plan.

    I can’t thank you Elisa enough for allowing us this forum to share these kinds of experiences. You are truly making a difference and I love you for exactly who you are.

    Wow Debbie! What an awe provoking experience you have chosen to share with us! I too felt as if I were there with your description. I feel privileged to have lived vicariously through your experience. Thank you!

  • Dina

    Wow. I can hardly even articulate a response except to say this. Debbie and Pat, both of your stories were incredible and nearly brought me to tears. There are no better accolades in my arsenal. Thanks for sharing!

  • Ingrid

    Wow, thank you so much for sharing, Debbie!! This is so comforting to read and by letting us know unconditional love is REAL, we can realize that fear is NOT. It is man-made and a just a “symptom” of our human physical selves. We must move and act out of fear. Once we realize the absolute truth of love and act from there, all fear is eradicated. Thanks again for your beautiful story!

  • Ingrid

    Sorry for the typo- we must NOT move and act out of fear!! But hopefully that’s what I was obviously saying lol:)

  • Stanley

    Hello,

    Wow, it sounds so much like the park I saw. Everything was so perfect and vibrant. Everyone there was so nice and were calm and relaxed. I know how I felt with just that. I couldn’t imagine going beyond that to what you describe. I thought the park was pushing it as far as what a soul can experience. I was without words for my experience as well. But yours tops the cake. Such a peaceful place. To KNOW everyone has a purpose. and to KNOW your loved ones are safe and happy there. That they can simply will what they desire. There is just so much out there we don’t know is there. And it’s nice that sometimes, we are givin a peek. :) Thanks so much for letting Elisa share your experience here. Be well Debbie. **hug**

    Dear Elisa

    I came across your blog in the HP and have been following it for a while. I look forward to your emails every day and want to thank you for the incredibly healing work you, Erik and Kim are doing through your blog (and will continue to do through the books, movies, TV shows etc). Losing a child has to be one of the hardest losses a person can experience. Your love and compassion come though in every blog and every entry “lifts the veil” a bit more to heal and transform all of us by reminding us who we truly are.

    Thank you for your love and light

    Abbe

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Aw, thanks Abbe! You bring light to a heart that is constantly fighting off the darkness. I love you for that.

  • Steve

    I am now in the habit of reading these posts to start my work day. It puts me in such a better mood!

    These are all awesome stories, so thank you to everyone for sharing!!

    I’m guessing here that Debbie astral traveled to one level of the afterlife. I’m also thinking that we all do this but just don’t remember the experience, while dreaming. So seeing people there that are alive now could just mean they were out of body during sleep, too. Just a guess!

    The afterlife is so mysterious but apparently more wonderful than we can ever imagine!

  • Patrick

    I often think of beautifully flowing bright electrically green water in a river….which is what I thought of again when reading this. The purple dragon was a nice touch. Green is my favorite color. Thank you for telling about your visit home.

  • Shawna

    Wow! This one gave me goosebumps. Thanks for sharing your experience Debbie and yours too Pat and everyone else. I loved it!

  • epeavey

    What an absolutely incredible experience Debbie!
    Thank you so much for sharing. In reading this post, so many questions and thoughts come to mind. When you spoke about your children, knowing that they would be fine, I cried. Many of you have children and know what I mean. We live to teach them good values, ensure their happiness, and guide them in the direction of their destiny. On one hand I have so much peace in knowing that they each have to live their destiny and that they CHOSE the trials and tribulations that they will face. On the other hand, I just want to hold them tight and never let anything “bad” happen to them. A struggle I’m sure every parent has to go through. I know however that when these trials do occur, I will have hopefully given my children the knowledge they need to endure and regardless of the outcome…will be at peace knowing that they are “OK”.

    My second thought was in regards to the movie Eat, Pray, Love. I watched it last night and one of the last lines in the movie confirmed everything we talk about. Liz stated (this might not be exact), “You can not look outside yourself and find God for he is within you, because he is you.” What an amazingly profound statement. We are all individuals, we are all one, and we are God. He is around us, in us, he is us!

    Love to you all!!!!

  • Italia

    Thank you for sharing with us. That was very helpful. I am glad to know that you do encounter people who you’ve interacted with on the earthplane. I am awaiting word from my Mother through Eric and Elisa and I pray that it comes. Thank you for the description

  • Elizabeth M

    I think the word Debbie is looking for is “mystical experience” — (renouned throughout history and a nice catch-all when it’s not an NDE, OBE, or other such classification– same type of experience, different circumstance or point of view) Not that it matters! The common thread in all these experiences seems to be that the experience is overwhelmingly awesome and loving and indescribable in words. Thank you Debbie and Pat for sharing your wonderful experiences! I’ve never experienced anything quite so grand (just a few lucid dreams I consider visitations), but it is so common in my reading of others’ experiences that I don’t doubt for a second that these are true exersions into other levels of being. I understand from my reading (and intuition) that we naturally travel out of the body or to other planes of existene during sleep; also that our part of our soul (the higher self?) doesn’t incarnate, so not so strange that we can be in body and see others still in body when having these experiences.

    Thanks again to all for sharing and raising the awareness of our true natures and reason for being. It is very comforting indeed.

    It is mind-bending, isn’t it?!

    Did you know there is currently scientific research trying to prove NDEs and OBEs are not just mental aberations or chemical imbalances of some sort?

    I believe I read about it on HuffPost. Wish now I could remember the name of the author or web site. They have a website with an extensive questionnaire for people who have had NDEs and OBEs. Maybe if you search HuffPost you’ll find it? Or someone else who reads this blog will remember it? It would be so good if you had the time to add your experiences to their research data bank. I responded to their site, and think it will eventually be very helpful in filling out the body of knowledge about these phenomena.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      I know they have something like “The Center for Consciousness Studies/Research” in the University of Arizona. Forgot the guy’s name but he does research on all this stuff: NDE’s, OBE’s, afterlife proof. And I think There’s a guy that did studies on NDEs and published in a book: Proof of the Afterlife? (Schwartz?) He’s an M.D. but still…(hehe)

  • Debbie B

    Thank you to all for your warm and accepting responses and comments to my post. I knew this would be a safe place to share my experience. What wonderful souls you all are! Pat, wow! SOOO happy you shared too! Gives me validation that I don’t have just an overactive imagination. What really convinced me to share was the many times Erik talks about how ones reality on the other side is whatever you want or will it to be, and that is exactly what I saw. The other ongoing affirmation I took with me from this experience was the knowledge, and I firmly believe this,that we do come into this world with a specific personality, temperment and agenda(for our own soul). I have 22 year old boy/girl twins. Born a minute apart, given the same love and attention, etc… but they are SO different, they are completely diverse souls. The kick here is that they are the SAME souls now as when they were born. Same temperment, behavior, everything, yet they were provided with the same stimulation and environment. Nothing I did as a mother changed who they are. I was just given the incredible opportunity to give them life. I now know my job is just to love them. I cannot change their destiny. There destiny is in their DNA, their soul. They tell me(in so many ways) what they need and I supply it if I can. No matter what I might TELL them, they have their own path. In knowing they have their own path, I find peace.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      You know, Debbie, it’s interesting that you say your twins are so different. To me, that means you parented them in a way that allowed them to be who and what they are. Parents who are oppressive and raise their children to be cookie-cutter kids who must live up to outside expectations instead of their own…those are kids who are homogenous and devoid of a unique and wondrous identity. You must be a wonderful mom.
