Channeling Erik

As Erik shares more about the nature of the afterlife, he offers his own viewpoint of the plight of the earth, particularly the United States. It’s interesting to have the political perspective of a spiritual being. Sounds like he’s already in campaign mode!

Channeling Transcript

Me: Now, some people wonder what the environment of the afterlife is like. I’ve heard that, you know, when you go to Heaven, you can actually have a real home with furniture, televisions, and so on. I think you said you had a little home for a while, Erik. So why is it that it looks almost like the earthly plane in some existences?

Erik: Yes, Lay-Z-Boys and pizza. Mom, that’s what our lives were trained for on the earthly plane. These are our memories, our thoughts, still wanting to be alive. These are our comforts, still wanting to be alive.

Me: Ah! Okay.

Erik: And so we create them. We create these comforts with those memory thoughts. Not everybody does, though.

Me: Yeah, yeah.

Erik: But it’s really wonderful.

Me: Yeah. And when you create such surroundings, that’s where your vibration is, more at an earthly vibration?

Erik: Yeah, and it’s great, because we’re never going to run out of space!

Me (laughing): I guess not! So, how do you meet other beings in the afterlife? Does there have to be some sort of connection like past lives?

Erik: No, there doesn’t have to be a connection, uh, I mean a past connection, cuz we’re all connected anyway. But there are these soul families that reincarnate together. They can be anywhere from really, really big to very small. And you’re greeted by your soul family when you cross over.

Me: Uh huh.

Erik: And of course they’ve made friends and you’ve made friends. You can just think of somebody, and they’re there. Just like when you think of me, Mom. Then I’m there. Oh, or if it’s somebody famous like Michael Jackson, you can just think of him and inquire to engage with him. It’s kinda like using a telephone, but you don’t really need a number.

Jamie and I laugh.

Erik: And we do have social events!

Me: Oh, cool!

Erik: We have music, we have, um, I guess you could call them dances, but they’re different. We have gatherings, talks. It’s kinda like how I’d imagine sitting on the steps of the Parthenon, like all the Greek philosophers sitting around talking about astrology—we have these talks and we talk about the faith and the fate of the Earth, and we talk about how we can be involved and how we can help.

Me: Oh, okay. Well, we need all the help we can get, I’ll tell you that!

Erik: The United States is still in a very, very bad position.

Me: Oh, gosh. I know. Well, I guess there are other places in the world that are even worse off.

Erik: I don’t know about that, Mom. It might be better off to have to scrounge for your water and not have a—

Jamie: Dang, Erik!

Erik: It might be better to scrounge for water than to have a government hovering over you and “taking care of you” that’s lying.

Me: Oh gosh, I know, I know. Awful.

Erik: It’s okay to rely on the comforts of the government when you really, really need it, but at the same time, the government needs to stop giving it to you, giving, giving, giving. The government doesn’t really care, at least most of the government doesn’t. They just want power, votes. It’s better to have a government that has faith in people to rely on themselves instead of enslaving them with a feathered nest all their lives.

Me: Yeah, it’s better to depend on yourself and your family and friends than to be under the control of the government, huh?

Erik: Yeah, that’s how we see it from our perspective too, Mom. Can you be sure to put that message out there?

Me: Oh, sure! Absolutely! When I see the corruption in our government, or any government for that matter, oh, don’t even get me started. (Pause) Oh, back to TVs, Erik. If you have TVs and you watch them, what programming do you have?

Erik: Well, since time doesn’t really exist here, we can watch very old programs, very new ones, and even programs in the future.

Me: Oh, wow! So, programs created on Earth. Right?

Erik: Earth, yes, and there are other programs from other existences.

Me: Oh, cool! So you watch reruns and pre-runs. Nice.

    so
    what your saying is that jesus is right wing
    and doesn’t believe in taxes. and Sarah Palin is
    angelic

  • Shawna

    Beautiful words Paul! Very enlightening! Thank you

  • Ingrid

    Elisa, remember the HuffPo comments- how much they got to you? This is like that (for the comments here that are hurtful or hurting you). Erik’s message is so much bigger than people’s opinions on politics. This post wasn’t about politics but how we need to be as human beings- help each other and support each other. Just focus on Erik and his message and keep your eye on the end game and don’t worry about anything else. The rest is just white noise. Sending you love and light!!!

  • lidian

    so now we know that some of us are republicans and some are democrats and probably some independents – and that’s how it should be. But how silly is this? It’s like asking what religion a person is. All paths lead to God or none of them do. Ultimately it doesn’t matter. As we grow/change spiritually so do our belief systems. Krishnamurti: “I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect.” I saw Hereafter last night. I think it was a credible beginning to bringing the work being done here to a larger public. It’s all about the book to my mind….

  • seraph

    I don’t blame Elisa for taking time off. She must be emotionally exhausted. Let’s all collectively send up some positive energy to her tonight. How about 3 minutes at 9:00PM Central Time? That gives easterners a 10PM time and Pacific folks 8PM.

  • buddy boy

    Ok, and maybe in case someone is distracted at their designated time we should ask Erik to remind them.

  • Yahaira

    Thank you Elisa.

  • lidian

    Elisa,
    what happened? Obviously we have experienced a part of you we haven’t seen before. It’s a little disconcerting to hear you suggest you are done with this blog, cause so many of us have lost so much recently and you have been so wonderful in so many ways. I remember suggesting, long ago, that you go easy and you responded that this is how you deal with grief. Maybe you have hit your own wall? Please let us know because you matter to us. Would be good to know what sparked your reaction. I think i speak for us all when I say we love you.

      I just went into Mama Lion mode protecting my (dead) cub. I feel he was misunderstood. I hate politics but I don’t filter anything: Erik’s words or readers’ comments. Plus, I think the blog has insulated me from grieving. This weekend, I spent a lot of time sobbing, missing, wishing I was with Erik. I can’t keep running on the hamster wheel to escape my son’s death. I have to face it in small doses, wrestling with the crisis of faith that is typical of a reformed (or reforming) skeptic. I hate for his messages to be twisted into liberal vs. conservative because that’s NOT what he was saying. He was denouncing corruption and greed on every level. The problem is, some people see productivity and drive and entrepreneurism as greed when it’s not. Greed is getting something for nothing at the expense of others. Not a very spiritual place to be. And greed crosses all boundaries: religion, income class, race, culture, etc. It’s everywhere and it will be our downfall if we continue to cling so desperately to possessions and entitlements. I’ll continue to blog, but I need some time to decide that I want to live. It’s a struggle for me every day. But because of my family and friends, it’s a struggle I will win.

  • Jordan Amerman

    It’s too bad you have revealed your right wing agenda. Evidently Erik is in right wing heaven, too, as he said in his post that “Yeah, that’s how we see it from our perspective too, Mom.” That’s pathetic. Look around you, Elisa. The rich are doing very well. It seems you have been blinded to the suffering of so many at the hands of rich, powerful corporations who have bought influence and control of the government. This whole thing seems fake now.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      You are free to believe what you want although you have misconstrued Erik’s message. He is talking about all corruption, all greed, all graft, right wing, left wing, poor, rich, individual, corporate. I just don’t understand why people are not seeing that. And of course, if you don’t want to read the blog, don’t. But these cruel remarks have no place here in this family. This is a place of love and growth, not judgement and criticism. To call me and this blog “pathetic” is no short of a slap in the face, not only to me, but to Erik and our newfound channeling erik family. It might have been better to ask for clarification rather than come out swinging with personal insults.

  • Patrick

    Elisa: Erik’s physically gone for a while. He is not dead. I saw the dragonflies regularly after starting to read this web log (‘blog’). Your term “reformed/reforming skeptic” is fantastic, and with your permission I will use it. Few or possibly none of us have walked the path you’re on; the commentary would have taken on quite a different character otherwise. You’re not insulating yourself at all. There is no formula for the afterwards of your experience; there is no diagnosis and no course of treatment but for the time which begins as it completes. The hand of the follower draws the steps the feet soon follow. You have done a magnificent job. Think of the relativity of observance of light; its speed appears instant but distance delays viewing. Does an observer 669.6 million miles distant (1 hour of “our” time) see an event live or delayed? Now imagine if the viewer can move to a place closer and view the occurrence and then move again and see the event several times? Imagine being able to “see” an event before it happened? Einstein came to earth precisely to introduce humanity to the basics of this principle which reigns in our real home. Because of the limitations of eyesight, circadian rythyms and physical movement these things cannot be seen by us on this earthly plane. Celestial objects over the horizon also cannot be seen yet exist still, and influence earth, just as a virus was unknown throughout the vast course of humanity as we know it in this permutation, yet always existed. The moment will come when Erik will welcome you, smiling and joyful and his absence will seem as brief as a blink and as long as a day, all in an instant. These petty squabbles over “agendas” and “rubbed me the wrong way” are but skeptics in need of the enlightenment you have provided, and God bless you for it. If they turn away in dislike of Erik’s comments, then in time they will come around. Godspeed.

  • Nancy

    I’m smiling. Erik does the miracle almost every time.The more I read what he says the less I fear to be both here (earthly plane) and there wherever it is when my own time comes.
    Thanks for your generosity, Elisa.

  • seraph

    That feeling of trying to decide if you want to live- it can be overwhelming. Sometimes I get so comsumed with those thoughts that I can’t work. Just tired of being here and dealing with it all, everything. Thank God you have your family and work and us. You are helping so many of us make connections that are more deeply meaningful than a night out with friends. Looking forward to the communication with Erik. Woke up at 3am as usual and tried to summon him and asked him to bring my friend along. I could see his face, but no voices. Someone was with him that I didn’t recognize.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      OOO, getting close, Seraph.

  • Skoshi

    Dear Elisa, You have shared with us the incredibly personal and powerful statement that you “need some time to decide that I want to live”. With that plainly on the table, I say, we love you and support you, and I (and I bet others) would love to see you get professional help. It’s what you would want your loved ones to do, and it’s what you would advise us to do. It’s too serious a matter to leave to love and prayers. We all know that sometimes the answer to prayer and the response to love is “no.” Your chemistry may be so off by the powerful impact of what you’ve been through that you need some meds to get you back on track.

    Just think what a blow it would be to your family having lost Erik if they were to lose you too.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      No, I couldn’t do that to my family or you all or Erik. It’s just the grief puts me in a pretty dark place and I have to sometimes slap myself (metaphorically) and say, “Snap out of it; stop being a selfish little bitch.” Tough love works for me. This whole sense of fragility and vulnerability is quite new for me. All my life I’ve been the one others have turned to, the one taking charge during crises, the one to nurture, etc. I’m not very good at this, but I’m getting lots of practice.

  • Carolyn Turpin

    Dear Elisa: I have been quietly reading your posts daily. I stumbled on to this website through the Suicide Survivor website as a referral. I am glad that you took some time off this weekend to spend some time with yourself. I would hate to see your blog disappear as it has provided me with so much comfort. I lost my little brother to suicide on Feb. 12, 2009. I think he was my soulmate or a very close soul to me in the afterlife. Every day is a decision to live or die for me since he died. It would be so easy to just go but I will win the struggle to stay. Please stay strong. ((Hugs)) We need you.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Aw, Carolyn, I won’t abandon you. Be strong and now I love you dearly. It was just time for an overdue wave of grief, I guess.

  • Debbie B

    Elisa,
    I am so happy to see you back on the blog. I have read all of the posts but did not comment as I abhor(?) politics and the political arena. This blog is NOT about those issues any more than it is about ones religious preferences. What it is about is the collective love, support and knowledge that has been shared here since its inception. Thank you for that. Now, on to you. I absolutely, 100% agree with Skoshi. I am so glad she suggested professional counseling. I wanted to send the same message but did not want to intrude at such a tender time for you. Those of us that are considered “strong” are usually the most vulnerable to hurts. I have always been the strong one, and I don’t know about you but I get damn tired of always being STRONG. One of the best things I ever did for myself was to seek out a counselor who in turn started a small group counseling session with select clients. What transpired there changed my life. Please consider some time for yourself in a professional setting where that time is YOURS ONLY. Give into it and take some of the worlds weight off of your shoulders. You and your family will be better for it. I know as a physician you already know this, but sometimes it takes a stranger to point us in a new direction. And if you “really” think life is too hard to go on, then sister I am getting on the next plane to Houston cause that just isn’t gonna happen! As always love to you.

  • Denise

    Elisa,
    Physician, heal thyself with hugs from as many friends and family as possible, especially the grandbaby kind. Sleeping is good, too. and ice cream.

  • Paul Conklin

    Dear Carolyn,

    Death is such a common experience. When it happens to us personally though it feels like it is the first death in all of human history. To lose a loved one through suicide is particularly brutal. It feels like you lost a piece of yourself. For you did indeed lose a piece of yourself that day. Would anyone wonder why you would have trouble going on if you literally lost your heart? Well, should there be any wonder that you have trouble going on at times because it is like you have lost your heart and your soul?

    But what you should always realize Carolyn is that you are never alone. Some of us have lost our beloved ones through suicide, accident or disease. However we may have lost our loved one, the pain is still intense.

    If for one moment we could remove the veil that hides them from our sight we would see their smiling faces standing before us. Your brother does not want you to grieve too much for him. (I know, a tall order) He wants you to be joyful. He wants you to be happy. When you consider the fleeting moments in time your reunion will be here in a few seconds, relatively speaking.

    You see, your brother left something behind. Every day when you arise and look into your heart you find there, gift-wrapped, the love that your brother left for you to find. If you unwrap that gift and give it away freely it is like your brother lives once again. Each day that you share that gift is one less day that you must spend without him.

    So, take comfort, my dear friend. We are all in this together. For I have a gift in my heart that I try to unwrap and share everyday. I share that gift freely and pray that you are surrounded by my love and the love of my Father.

    Love,
    Paul

  • Paul Conklin

    Dear Elisa,

    I agree with Debbie. You think that you must put on a strong face because you are a physician that must know all the answers. You think that it is a sign of weakness to show any vulnerabilities.

    You are still human Elisa. Even the Rock of Gibraltor would erode if there was constant punishing downpours, raining down ceaselessly. Sometimes our grief is like a torrential rainstorm that never ends. We seek relief, but we find no relief anywhere. It is not a sign of weakness to seek help, it is a sign of strength.

    I do understand your grief Elisa, but your grief is unique, your situation is unique and how you deal with your grief is unique. So, even though I may think that I understand your grief, your own unique set of circumstances differs from my own. I may not understand everything that you are going through, but a professional trained to deal with these things will be able to help you. At least I can offer my sympathy, understanding and love.

    I for one am thankful that in the midst of unrelenting grief and pain you have opened your heart. Our darkness will give way one day as the sun rises again. My dear friend, I know that you probably do not believe this, but this too shall pass.

    Love,
    Paul

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      I’m already better. The waves of grief are getting farther and farther apart, so that’s good. I don’t like being vulnerable, but not because it shames me. It’s because many friends and family depend on me. Some are having a harder time than me (if that’s possible), so I try to keep it all together, then fall apart from time to time. I’ll never abandon you guys or Erik. We’ll keep doing this together. I know I’m not the only one out there in pain. That’s one of the reasons I want to do this, to give Erik a chance to heal himself and others. Love to you all. Sorry about the meltdown and for any feelings it may have hurt.

  • Skoshi

    Unfortunately a LOT of people have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It can change our chemistry. Since we can’t mainline chocolate (my personal drug of choice!), if I’d seen what you’ve seen, Elisa, and many others of you too, I wouldn’t hesitate to get professional help. I had an abusive mother and an abusive husband, and had nightmares (night terrors really) regularly till a few years ago after a LOT of Reiki and meditation. I wouldn’t want anyone of you to have to go through years and years of night terrors.

  • Julia

    something upbeat for all of us

  • Steve

    Elisa, you explained this very well. I also think that this all happened to help you face your grief. Your plate is full right now, so you are doing the right thing to take a vacation from all of this. But I really think this was a huge misunderstanding and things were lost in translation, you were protecting the memory of Erik, and none of this is good nor bad, it just is!

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Couldn’t have said it better myself, Steve. I’m hoping to post again tomorrow. Love you, Steve!

  • buddy boy

    Elisa’s back- yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah. When’s your next post. Can’t wait.

  • lidian

    Elisa
    I am totally in sync with your comment about deciding if you want to live. But i think it doesn’t have a connotation of danger – that some may percieve. It’s more a natural consequence of what we’ve been through. To live thru something like this is enormously disorienting to our “normal” world. Kind of like, the world we knew is gone and it is. Can we live in this one? Not always so sure. I think this experience has mostly taken away my fear of death and so I think about it more than I used to. I think of the afterlife now as more my home than this place is. But I also have people who depend on me and i will always be there for them no matter what. So i will “win” too.
    I mentioned before that I did try going to a “professional” some time back. I realized there was a huge divide between us. It would have taken me a long time to even explain who i was and why I felt the way i do. He just looked tired and rubbed his eyes and said “I don’t think you should feel guilty.” Didn’t get much out of that experience. Coming here and being with you guys has helped so much more.
    Looking forward to your post tomorrow,
    Lidian

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Me too. The family did get tons of professional help and I believe we got all we could out of it. Now, we talk as a family, air our feelings, etc. We’ve always been really good about communicating with one another, sharing our joys, fears, resentments, etc. So we’re good. FOr me, personally, life is very different since Erik died. I also feel like the afterlife is the real home and this exhausting, bittersweet school play is where I must stay to finish the work I promised to do. Wanting to live? Well, there is living and there is “existing.” Sometimes I do feel like hiding under the covers biding time until I’m too old to go on, but that’s not very practical is it? Too many bedsores to contend with. I have spiritual contracts to honor, so every once in a while, I have to give myself a stern admonishment and pep talk.

  • KateC

    Boy, I just got caught up. My goodness! I want to add something that I don’t think I’ve seen mentioned- or maybe I have but it was sixty replies ago. ;)

    I personally looked good and hard at why I would have a negative reaction to what I first perceived Erik to be saying. In looking, I found some good- ie, passion towards my own feelings on love and giving, and helping our neighbors- and, some bad, too. By bad, I mean an almost reflexive rejection of something I didn’t fully agree with. I agree with whoever said that we’re getting way too caught up in the words without considering the message- and I’ve been guilty of that too.

    I believe very much that our choices personally AND politically should be based on what shows the most love. But, people differ in their view of what that love looks like and where it comes from. Some of my closest friends- and who I disagree with the most- I know are still coming from a position of love.

    I’ve also marked several articles from the comments that I want to go and read. So much good comes from this, and we have ALL learned more.

    Robert- I feel like I know you, beyond what’s here. I have no channeling talents nor have I attempted to learn- but, I do feel like we’re connected somehow.

  • Alexis

    Elisa…oh lordy, I do so know exactly what you mean; as do many others here! It seems to me that the more evolved we are, the more difficult the journey can be – we seem to set the bar sooo much higher for ourselves. We also seem to be much more impacted by the loss of loved ones, have a greater tendency to internalize pain and to just soldier on/put on a brave face. I mean no disrespect to anyone, but it’s not not just about the day to day survival mode, nor a self obsessive sense of entitlement at the fate of the little people – to paraphrase Dickens, ‘let them die and decrease the surplus population’. It is good to have open passionate debate, to share ideas and feelings – to agree to disagree with love and respect for one another. I appreciate everyone who cares enough to participate in these exchanges and I wish us all peace, love and understanding. XOX :-)

    Hey Danielle…are you ‘OK’?! XOX

    Stagnation is unstagnifying. Sometimes it takes a crisis or mini-crisis for petrified consciousness to free up.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Too true, Danielle.

  • Rebecca

    Elisa how ya doing? You have been put through the ringer in last day’s. Bloger’s, there are so many differene’s in Our World, we all have one thing in common we want the best for all, see it’s the same GOAL for everyone!! We are not to Judge!!!!!!!
    Erik and Elisa are sharing with each of us, on a different level. Politic’s have never been anything about what we are learning, To know that a Mother and Son have such a stroung Love for one another is incrediable, and to want to share with each and everyone of us the knowledge of knowing that we all are not doomed, we’re Loved so much each of us has Life, Light, Peace & Hope. We are all protected each second by our Guardian Angel’s Alway’s!! Erik has choosen to help us learn through his mother,and share the gift that it’s ok to be Human!
    As a child growing up in the Chruch Of Christ I found it so hard to believe that Our Lord could be so harmful, that Hell Fire And Brime Stone was your Destiny if you choose any ohter belief’s than Brother Sirous taught you. Scared the beejeebee’s out of me. (Politic’s)
    I would sit in the Pew front row shaking so hard my teeth chattered. I found then that I had Angel’s with me I would Pray please be with me and watch out for me, my Angel’s were there and comforted me. Thank Goodness!!!!
    So here’s the end of the story we all are different with our belief’s. It’s ok!!!
    I recommend MUSIC for the SOUL!!
    Elisa, today I experenced some very strong song’s that I wish every bloger would listen to with all our differene’s we do have one thing in common MUSIC!!
    Erik is playing the electric Guitar and having a blast being on the stage cutting up and having the best time!! I don’t know if Erik ever played one, “but he is now”!!
    These are the song”s that I heard, to relay a message to you Elisa and Bloger’s!
    Please everyone youtube these song’s that have a message for each of us.
    Tom Sawyer —- RUSH
    Tears Of A Clown—— Smokey Robinson
    KC & The Sunshine Band—- Time To Feel Good , this is for you Elisa.
    Peace & Hope
    Love, Rebecca

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Yeah, Erik was an amazing guitarist, Rebecca. He loved acoustic, electric, 12 string, and played classic rock, classical, you name it. He loved Rush. He’s probably serenading us right now!

  • Rebecca

    Elis, please for give my Human error Time to Feel Good Is:

    Love, Rebecca

  • Tiffany

    Wow! I have been playing catch up during the last week as my weeks before that have been soooo busy. It’s interesting how the “human” side comes out when our perceptions are challenged by another. I found NO offense in this post or any other, as they all offer a new found perspective. My recent and ongoing goal is to come from love in all situations.It is AMAZING how much I have changed as a person because of this. Love and Light is the true essence and catalyst for being and healing. Thank you Elisa for your good works, integrity, and willingness to put yourself out there for the benefit of others. Remember you are loved and supported, mama bear and all!!! :)

    To all my Erik Website friends and family, to my Spiritual community. I just been given a message for all of us. The song of many, and an urge overcame me while surfing the net. ~J

      I’m so glad the Divine has our backs and that they love us so much. And how wonderful that technology is now a tool to accelerate our path to a Spiritual Awakening! Thanks for being such an able and loving conduit, Jason!

    Rebecca and all – on the musical front, wich is one of my favorite way’s to feel my soul, is my Angels song, I heard it the month before she died, when she was in the hospital and I cried so hard. At that time I was afraid she wouldn’t make it, and this song brought to my mind that even if we are not here physically what we FEEL will never be gone. Then a month later, I played it at her memorial and I play it when I want her to know that Im thinking about her and when Im feeling her around, and of course I cry buckets.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Wow, what a perfect and timely song! What’s weird is that while I was listening to it, I saw Erik grinning in my mind’s eye. He had big fake translucent wings strapped onto his back, like the kind you get from a Halloween store, and he was wrapping them around a little girl who was standing in front of him. She had her head tilted down slightly and wore a mischievous half grin on her face. She looked absolutely angelic. Maybe it was Emily?

  • Donna

    I read this Blog Saturday morning. However I didn’t have time to read the comments. Sunday I started reading the comments. WOW. I read it and now I have reread it and I still don’t find anything offensive in what Eric said. Isn’t it funny how people can find so many different ideas out of a few sentences. That said.
    Elisa and Eric I think you are doing a fantastic job. Thank You so much for all the comfort you have given me. I look forward to reading your Blogs. It has given me so much more insight into the after life.

    I think it was Emily, cause well,.. I got the same vision, only in mine she started bouncing to the music and pulled out and under from Erik’s arms and started hoping and bouncing and running behind him and pulled the wings off him giggling and then they chased each other in circles laughing and giggling. And she was waving in my direction or ummm.. yours. Erik catches her again and then she struggles in a bear hug and says laughing, “I am not faking!”

    So I think you can be pretty certain that you’ve got your musical connection!

    It must have been Em because whenever I hear that verse “I can’t wait for you to wrap your wings around me baby”, I didnt think of her wrapping her wings around me, I thought of someone else wrapping their wings around her. I wasn’t able to envision who, it was just wings around her, because she was my baby and I wasn’t there to take care of her. Now I know it’s Erik. Also, there is a book I used to read to the kids called Every Little Angel’s Handbook, and in it the Angels get to make their wings. When Em passed, I was there, my son was there, my mom and the doctors, and there was a moment I looked up at him when he was crying and recited part of the book, that she was able to make her wings now. We used to read that book almost every night and it was so important that he understand that she was free like the little Angels in the book to make her wings.

    Thank you Elisa and Jason I needed those beautiful messages today, I have been wracked with guilt over her passing because of medical issues and decisions I had to make regarding her last day’s. I havn’t been able to stop thinking about it for the last two days and I have been doing a lot of crying. Bless you two you two are Angels of Light ♥♥♥

      It wasn’t us. Your little angel, Em, was behind it all, with Erik’s loving help, of course!

    Hi Elisa,
    I finally was able to log on as a real user and to be a part of the channelingerick family and I feel good…..I do not know why I could not but….I know Erik has been with me all day cheering me up and on…..and I asked him to help with this…..sure enough I saw the old password on the table when I got home and he said try it now and I did and it worked…..thank you Erik!

    Well this is a subject that really hits my heart! Everything Erik has said is just what I have been thinking these past few years(about the government.

    I went through different phases and through my few years of enlightenment I have had ….there was the curious stage….then the excited stage…..too the…. what the hell stage……to the rebellious stage…..and now finnally the o.k. stage…. we just are not getting it stage(with the government)……..I just read the kyballion and the 7 hermetic principles(they helped me to integrate my heart and head) and now …..I am almost at peace with this world.

    I now am accepting that we are all here to learn from how we handle ourselves because we are how we make the world more peacefull and happy. Not everyone sees through the eyes of enlightenment…..they could but that is not an easy task and it took me 40 years and alot of inner pain… to finnally get it. And it is only a teeny tiny part of it.

    The government is a very controlling power hungry group of people and they of course have the side of the coin which is the more compassionate side but it is hard in this world to express that compassion when everything has to be thought and thunk and drilled and practiced and rehearsed……

    so we can all be like the leaders (like the government)who are just the same as us ……….hurt and confused and unhappy because they themselves are out of alignment with their truth also.

    I feel the reason for this is because when some people are hurt and misunderstood they shut their heart chakra down and instead become like military leaders. When this happens we try to control the outside and not fix the inside and become power hungry egotistical beings.

      Wow, Kathy, just seconds before I looked at your post, I was having this same conversation with a friend by phone. I totally agree. We look at our government as a huge block of elitists in cahoots with unions and other powerful entities thirsty for a piece of the pie, but they are just struggling humans like us. All we can have power over is our reaction to their behavior. We can vote, of course, but we can also shift our perception to “these are just souls who are struggling with the human experience, too. They also need compassion.” More important, we must concentrate on who we are and who we want to become: “Be the change you want to see in the world.”

      That as pretty cool about how Erik helped you. Classic Erik! I love him soooo much. And user name or not, you’ve always been a part of the family, Sweet Girl!

    Hello,
    I stumbled onto your blog and immediately “friended” you on facebook, then…I read the post, Erik for President. I truly want to believe in your family. I am surrounded by my family ancestors and guardian spirits. I know that they rarely talk about persons in this world apart from family members, so I was puzzled by this foray into politics…I feel fear instead of Love. I hope that you understand why this post created such an uproar…it is hard to feel the Love in the communication from your son, when the words seem to contradict…I do not know if I am saying this right, but be strong, you have a Work to do in this life, as do I…I hope we can remain in touch, as I feel you might be part of my Group…do you understand?

      Hey Yvonne. Of course I do, understand. But I’ve made a commitment to not filter anything channeled, since I assume it must be for a reason. I think what he’s saying here is that there is corruption and greed that hampers the progress of humanity..it crosses all boundaries: party lines, socioeconomic lines, etc. He’s not taking any sides. Just the side of good. Can you specify statements he said that concern you? And remember, he is a guide in training, not some spiritual master, so he’s not omniscient. He’ll be the first to admit it.

    I’ve been thinking about this all day, went to the gym, came back, and you had written! I am honored to hear from you. Look, I really have to think about this some more and especially about those specific communications. What raised my eyebrows was when the Erik’s comments got very focused with respect to time (the present day) and place (the United States, government, etc.)It seemed that he was no longer speaking generally about human progress and general uplift. Erik and the other guides live out of time and place now,and we call them back here, but they have lived, as we have, in many other times and places. From our past lives, you know that some institutions were MUCH WORSE in some times/places/bodies, and in other instances, much better in terms of what they accomplished for human beings. Think of all of the lifetimes that he and you and I have lived. Are all governments and institutions corrupt? Perhaps. Does greed and evil exist in all times and places? Yeah, it is likely. Is this form of government greed and corruption in this life/world especially bad and dangerous? I don’t know. I think our karma is to figure it out for ourselves – that is how we learn and grow. What struck me was the fear that his words evoked – that he was warning you of something, something dangerous and bad, but it was kind of worldly, material. He WAS speaking about negative forces, but actually located them in this time and place. Or was that your own thought? The “government” is corrupt when it does x y and z. This is awfully close to current day politics. From my experience, and hearing from others, I have never seen members of the other world do that. Michael Newton wrote somewhere that it is a violation or interference for spirits to tell us what to do or think. Sure, I ask for guidance and protection from the spirit guides and family all the time, and OCCASIONALLY I get a heads up “vibe” about something negative that is coming down. But never specifics, or I guess they would tell me which lottery number not to play. :) Do you see? The “Erik for president” blog post was much more specific and opinionated than the others and offered more specific concerns for earthly situations than the dead normally provide, at least my own family dead, who are the most important to me. Unless Erik speaks to you in very specific ways, which is entirely possible. I don’t know, I just discovered your writings today. I am glad however that you are confident in the channeling skills you have acquired. Perhaps at some point you can seek some clarification for those of us who reacted negatively to the politics of the post. On the other hand I understand that some of the comments hurt you. Who needs that?
    Like you, I came to this way of thinking kind of the long way, and kind of late in my life. I understand that Erik and you and I chose our destinies and our challenges before we even got here. Unlike you, I did not lose a child to “death” but I lost a child to “autism.” Sorry. These concepts are useless. Anyway, like you, my kid opened up the real world to me in profound ways, including the Truth that there is so much more than what we see and know in this time place and body. What is so interesting about your writing and your experience is how your love and connection as a Mother has made these communications and revelations possible in this life. I find that unique. Plus I like the fact that you were a skeptic, and not particularly religious, so it makes this very new and fresh and real. So thanks, I hope to keep reading and commenting. You are very brave to take this conversation into this world, and very open to hearing from others who know of these Realities. I appreciate it.

      Hey Yvonne. I wish I could remember Erik’s tone during that part of the channeling session. I might have to search it in the recordings. But if I remember correctly, it sounded like Erik and other spirits were casually talking about the state of the U.S., trying to find ways to help. His deal is that there is no right or wrong. There just is. Even corruption, wherever it is, is a valuable lesson and an opportunity for spiritual growth. In yet to be transcribed sessions (God I have a long queue of them) he talks about how we are in the midst of a necessary polarization of–not good and evil, but something like that. Can’t remember exactly what he said, And he did say this is something that has happened throughout history–the chaos that precedes big leaps in spiritual progress. He mentioned how the ancients were very attuned with spirituality, then humanity cycles back to materialism, away from spiritualism. I think his comment about it being better to have the scrounge for water than to have a materialistic society relates to other comments he made about how a long time ago, people found pure joy just in the ability to survive. I don’t know. I wish now that I had asked more.

      I’m glad you had me revisit this. I’m determined to get some clarity on what he was trying to say. Maybe I’ll ask him if spiritual beings become concerned with government and political issues and if so, why? Can you suggest some other questions I can ask him concerning this? I’d really appreciate it and value your insight. Open dialogue is very important and this is a safe and loving place to put yourself out there. And Erik said recently that he learns more and more as “time” goes by. He gains wisdom. So we’ll see how he answers the new questions you and I pose.

      Much love!

    Hmmm intriguing indeed. I like the message of being responsible for yourself and not relying on hand outs from the government HOWEVER, is it not known in the afterlife of the truth of the corruption from the government and illuminati over the people? I am not sure Erik is clear on this information. It is clear and truth that the Royal Family runs the show and they control the government of pretty much the world except Germany. So, the government and banks are cheating and stealing from the people. You cannot operate as a sovereign being in a corrupt environment where the courts, the government, the banks, the religions are all run and corrupted by evil dark entities. How can you be responsible for yourself unless you remove yourself from such corruption? It is like Eric is sharing (no judgment) you must play the game better, but is he not aware that the game is totally corrupt and we cannot play it properly unless the rules and the referees who make the rules are removed and fairness and peace is returned? I get so frustrated with this. I am the only one on here who knows about the corruption of the government and leaders? It appears Erik is not sharing this truth and insight and information, like government is normal?? I don’t know. Just discouraged here. I enjoy this blog and the messages, but I am not sure why Eric does not mention the corruption of the leaders in the world and how we literally have been lied to manipulated and enslaved for 1000′s of years??? Hmmm… we are not free and sovereign beings. We cannot operate as free beings and take responsibility until this changes. It is like trying to keep your water clear when you are living in a swamp! LOL! Just thought to share that I am not sure Erik is clear on these facts? I am all ears to know more about his knowledge of the rulers of the world. And the corruption and fraud that we live in here.

      Keep reading cuz I think Erik explains things in greater detail in later entries.
