Here’s a great quote for all the closed-minded skeptics out there:
“All truth passes through three stages: first, it is ridiculed; next it is violently attacked; finally, it is held to be self-evident.”–Arthur Schopenhauer
Sorry about the repetition, but I wanted to ask Erik some of the same questions through another channel to see if he had anything additional to share and to find comfort in consistency.
Channeling Transcript
(Since it’s the start of a new session, Jamie and I exchange what our plans are for the Christmas holidays and other pleasantries.)
Me: Well, now, are you ready to get started, Jeannie?
Jeannie: Yep, sure am.
Me: Okay! Hi, Erik. Are you there, Sweetness?
Erik: I’m here. Mom, I miss you! It’s a lot like leaving high school. There’s a sadness, because you’re gonna miss all those friends, but then there’s a happiness too because you have your life ahead of you. Of course at the time, I wasn’t all that excited, but it was the only thing I could say to make you understand that I miss you but I’m happy here. VERY happy.
Me (fondly): Oh, I know you are, Baby. I know you are. Now, a lot of readers have a bunch of interesting questions for the book. You game, Erik?
Erik: Ready to rock and roll.
Me: Can you tell us if Jesus Christ and other prophets and saints are there?
Erik: Yep, but it’s more their beautiful energy. This place is huge, Mom. You can feel that wonderful and peaceful energy, but you don’t always see them as much.
Me: Alright. Let me ask you this question that we covered recently through a different channel. Do you have hospitals, schools, restaurants and some of the other establishments that we have here on earth?
Erik: Well, no restaurants, cuz we don’t need food. There’s music, choirs, dancing—beautiful. There are gardens and animals, and libraries everywhere. There are books of such wisdom, you can’t even imagine! You can learn about anything in the universe and about any being from other worlds—and there are other worlds, universes and dimensions, Mom. There aren’t any hospitals like you have them where you are, cuz we don’t really need medical care, but there are places for energy healing, like healing centers. This is especially for those souls who first cross over here like me or others who died of illness or had traumatic lives or deaths. It’s more like a resting place with healers, angels. There aren’t any movie theaters because we can see all we need to see when we watch the earth. We can see, you know. I visit you and that’s better than any movie.
Me: Aw! But can you and your friends create a restaurant if you wanted to?
Erik: We have gatherings with friends, family—there’s family here, of course. Lot’s of play. There are schools all over. All of us who come here learn some sorta craft or skill. Some learn how to be energetic healers, some train to be guides like me.
Me: Okay. Let me ask you some more about soul mates. What creates the pairing of romantic or platonic soul mates? Is it some sort of vibrational frequency, does it have to do with, you know, being together in past lives, having certain experiences on the earthly plane or what?
Erik: Oh, it’s all of the above! Can you freakin’ believe this, Mom, that we’re talking like this?!
Me: I know!
Erik: I’m sounding so intelligent!
Jeannie and I laugh hard.
Erik: Pretty cool!
Me: Yeah. I always knew you had it in you!
Erik: So it is pretty much all that you said about soul mate grouping, Mom. You have past lives that connect people, but also it depends on where someone comes from or originates from.
Me: Hm.
Erik: There are stars and planets and other universes filled with people. There are planets where healers come from, so lot’s of times, that connection is based on the fact that those two souls come from the same place.
Me: Oh!.
Erik: Usually there’s a past life connection, too.
Me: I can imagine. What about bigger groups like soul families? Take our soul group, for instance. How do souls get together like that? Does it have anything to do with vibrational frequency, or does it just have to do with what you’ve just explained?
Erik: Not much to do with vibrational frequency because some—and I’ve known some while I was there—who have parents who are abusive or have a very low vibrational frequency, yet the person can have a high, kind vibrational frequency.
Me: Yeah, I can see that.
Erik: But it is from a lot of what we just spoke about. More to do with past life stuff than coming from the same place, though.
Me: Okay. Now, what about celebrities like Michael Jackson, are they treated differently in the afterlife and are there spiritual celebrities in the afterlife?
Erik: There’s both types and they’re not treated differently at all. I’m treated the same as everyone else. The only difference is that those who have given an incredible amount like Mother Teresa and other saints are honored for what they’ve done on earth, but as far as celebrities, no difference.
Me: Okay, so when Paris Hilton passes, she won’t get special status over me!
Jeannie laughs.
Erik (laughing): Oh, Mom, how can you even compare yourself?!
We all laugh.
Me: How did you choose this work, Erik? Were you ever sort of like, uh, well, not a guru—I hate to use that word—or are you just a somebody who’d learning to be a guide, learning as you go?
Erik: They knew, you know, when I came, what my gifts were. And you know that I really did like to learn, but I wanted to learn what I liked to learn.
Me: Exactly! Oh, yes!
Erik: Not what they were teaching.
Me: Yeah, that’s right.
Erik: So, for me, this is so fascinating. Life on earth was very complicated, and there were so many inconsistencies—people saying one thing and doing another. That was one of my biggest issues.
Me (sadly): Yeah.
Erik: So I can help. From where I am now, I can help all those others who are just like me, confused.
Me: Yeah.
Erik: Mom, I never realized that there were so many others who really felt like I did, almost like they didn’t belong. I knew I belonged to you and the rest of the family, and I can’t tell you how wonderful that was, but I felt like I didn’t belong in the world.
Me: Me too. Sometimes I don’t feel like I belong here on the earthly plane either. It feels alien to me sometimes.
Erik: Yeah, but Mom, looked what you’ve done!
Me: Yeah, I like some parts of life here, of course, but I feel somewhat awkward. I feel much more comfortable in the spiritual realm, I think. (Chuckling) I’m one of those!
Erik (with sympathy): Yeah. Yeah. Yes, yes, that I can see.
