Yes, I have read all of the posts and the comments. I did read about Stanley’s experience and mine doesn’t seem to be similar to his in that I remember my childhood. I just never felt connected to my family and always wondered how I ended up with them. In fact, at the age of 15, I ran away from home and we were estranged for the majority of the time that spanned between my leaving home and the death of my parents and brother. I did certainly feel adopted and alienated! If I WERE a walk-in, I would sure feel a lot better about it! haha Maybe one day when you are able to again turn on the Ask Erik button, I can pose that question!

Beyond what I said in my earlier post, I forgot to mention how admirable and amazing it is that you also take the time to respond to comments! After everything you’ve been through, that you are so open, kind and loving shines through brightly.

Thank you for the welcome, and much love to you!

About you not feeling like you belong in your family…Stanley felt the same way! Erik told him that sometimes parents are just the Greyhound bus that gets us here, and he told Stanley that he was a “walk-in.” He volunteered to take over a body because the soul occupying it gave up, thinking it was too hard and overwhelming. I think that’s why Stanley felt adopted and alienated. Have you read that entry?

Another great book I’m reading is “The God Theory,” which discusses the whole quantum aspect of everything too. Cool stuff, but I have SOOOOOO much to learn.

Love you both!

Since I have had several family members die, I’ve never once been contacted by any of them. It was heartening to me to read Erik’s comments that so many don’t even consider making the effort to contact people on earth. of course, I was never close to my family (for the longest time I believed that I had simply been with the wrong people… I have joked often that I got off on the wrong planet.)

Even though I have not experienced what you have, that you have shared your experiences, thoughts and feelings in the way that you have has touched me greatly — a self-described hard-core skeptic. (No more, I suppose.) And that my husband has also been reconsidering the same things because of what you shared, should truly negate any rotten, uncalled-for, nasty comment that any person might dare leave on your wonderful article. Anyone who spends their time actively spreading negativity is not ready to hear what you or Erik has to say, and you should not listen to what THEY have to say. (Easier said than done, I know!)

Please continue doing what you’re doing. It IS helping, inspiring, and transforming others.
