Terrorism and Religion

Posted in: Jamie Butler, Religion

Hey all, as you know things are a little crazy here in Norway. The body count just keeps going up. It’s so strange to see these atrocities occurring in such a quiet and peaceful country. Please send your prayers to those in pain here.

*************************

I will be attending the L.A. Channeling Erik event Tuesday evening August the 3rd. I hope you west-coasters can join me! Here are the details, including the location address:

On Tuesday, August 2nd, 7:30-9:30PM at The Office at 256 26th St. #101 Santa Monica, CA 90402. For directions click here.  I will be channeling Erik Medhus. For those new to channeling: a public channeling is where I allow the spirit guides (Erik) to speak to you directly. During the first hour, Erik will deliver messages to you; during the second hour Erik will answer your questions. I will publish the messages that come through in next month’s newsletter (excluding any personal ones :) Doors will open at 7:00 p.m. and will promptly close at 7:30 p.m. in order to begin on time. I will be there to meet and greet beforehand but please understand that afterward, I will be low-key and will be ready to call it a night. The fee for the evening is $30.

I’m proud and excited to announce blog member, Endre’s new publication! I’ve also permanently placed his link in my links section. I’ve seen his work, and it’s beyond spiritual, clearly channeled from a very high place.

Dear Friends,

I am very proud to announce that my first book of Black and White Flower Photographs:  ”Black And White In Bloom – Photographs by Endre Balogh – With a Forward by David Mamet” was just finished and is now available.  It is a large coffee table book (11 x 13 inches) – eighty of my best flower photos printed on the finest paper with the most luxurious binding.   You can see and purchase the book here – http://www.blurb.com/books/2323971.  I hope you will check it out.  It will make a lovely gift or addition to your own home.  Even if you don’t you don’t want to purchase one for yourself, you will certainly enjoy looking through it at the link above.

Endre

Most, if not all of you know blog member, Jason, a lovely and generous soul who gives so much of himself to help each and every one of us. Please read the following and add the two links to your bookmarks list.

Many members frequently ask me about spiritual phenomena other than the mental channeling. They often want physical proof or experiences. One of my mentors runs a non religious, objective, physical mediumship development center in Bristol England.. They are a good example of how one does not need to be anyone special to sit for and work at enabling spirit manifestations. They have a ton of useful links and information on their site too.  Information on pendulums, voice phenomena, transfiguration, ect. Its from one of their main guides that i get the name of my website and the quote, “The shape of a cloud”.  Their group leader Christine, is the one who got me started channeling my guides before I knew Erik existed. She is the one who explained the physical phenomena to me so that I was no longer scared.  I think it would be a good resource to help people learn how to sit for spirit communication in a way that is not often touched upon and a way that is objective and without fear…..It gives people insight into other ways of communicating. In any case…many people in Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand follow the CE site, and I wanted to add a connection to that part of the world that really means a lot to me.

Their website is:   “The Bristol Spirit Lodge” http://www.spirit-lodge-diary.blogspot.com/

And of course my website: “The Shape of a Cloud” https://sites.google.com/site/kookyspookyookyjournal/home

Last but not least, enjoy this video. I’ll start transcribing again Monday when I feel better! This is a stand-up routine by the talented comedian, David Allen. Given the shooting by the crazy Christian fundamentalist here in Norway and given our need for a laugh or two, the timing seems perfect.

    Hey Elisa,
    I have really tried to stay out of this whole political thing. But enough it enough. Time for me to speak…

    You have no idea how much you and Erik have helped me. I can’t imagine where I would be emotionally if I had not found your blog. Your love, support, generosity, humor, patience, emails and mostly your honesty have helped me heal. Losing a son to suicide is devastating, I think many blog members forget what you went thru, sadly I live it. The stigma of suicide the “looks” we get, the guilt we try to suppress…I think its “fucking” (yep there it is) amazing that we get out of bed in the morning. But YOU, not only get out of bed you help others and share you sessions and give each and every one of us hope and strength and insight. For me that is more than I could have ever asked for. You are an angel and I will never be able to thank you enough. You go right ahead and use any words you want, share your views and opinions. It is your blog. And with each post I will learn something and know that I have a friend that feels the pain I do and sets an example of how we can choose to go on after losing a son that was part of our being. WE lost a hunk of our heart when they left us, no wonder it hurts so bad.
    I love you! And I know so many others do as well.
    Thank you for everything.

      Oh, Nikki, your words make me cry, but my tears are markers of my solidarity with you. I feel your pain and you feel mine. I wipe away your tears and you wipe away mine. Embracing one another will get us through this. And yes, people do forget what we’ve been through and are still going through, but I suppose we can’t blame them, because how could they really understand? I do try my best, but sometimes my emotions get the best of me. I’m certainly not some noble figure to be idolized. I’m just a very simple and flawed girl frantically treading water as best I can in a deep sea of sorrow. So yes, I’ll defend what little I have left. My dignity, my freedom of speech, my emotions, and my opinions. These and those family and friends who understand are the only lifelines I have to keep me from drowning.

  • Nina

    I totally feel what Nikki is saying!

    If anyone with a brain has been reading this blog in it’s entirety, they’d know YOU ARE SUCH A SWEET SOUL! There isn’t an evil bone in your body!

    On a separate note, I’m so sorry about what happened in Norway. I can’t believe it. And I also can’t believe that you’re over there when it all happened! So glad you are safe. Sending prayers to Norway.

    xoxo-Nina

      I know Nina, what are the chances!!! The Medhuses bring chaos everywhere they go!

    My heart just hurts for all of the victims and their families of these events, Elisa. I can’t believe it was the work of one individual. It’s a horrible reminder that extremism in all of it’s forms (in this case fundamental Christian) is unacceptable.

    And Elisa, you are a very dear soul. We forget sometimes that all of us have had different starting points in very different scenarios in life, and while we may know our worlds intimately, we don’t necessarily know each others. That doesn’t mean we can’t strive to show compassion to those we don’t fully understand. What you have done with the blog is pull so many of us together so that our lives do intersect, and we do get a brief glimpse into each others existence…which increases our awareness and love. That is a huge gift to the world that you and Erik have made. Because we are human and have emotions, they will from time to time get the best of us and it happens. But big deal….we relearn forgiveness and move on in love. So…onward, lady…with love.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      KateC being human sucks sometimes, huh?

  • http://channelingerik Pat

    I have to wholeheartedly agree with Nikki!!

    Elisa you are an amazing model for all of us to see first hand how to reach out to people and really effect their lives in a positive, healing way. If everyone knew what you do and have done behind the scenes to help people, they would be amazed. You are our shining light.

    And yes, we are all human. The way some people come at you, and you respond. It is understandable given the unrelenting posts by some that just don’t know when to let up.

    I also admire how you allow people to continue their posts even though they are hurtful to you personally. You are truly amazing and I love you for all that you are and for all that you truly represent.

    And, you know you are right…if we could all get past the emotion, we would be amazed at how much we agree with one another. We should think about that before posting hurtful comments.

      I’m on this learning path just like all of you. What a journey. Like an E ticket at Disneyland.

  • Denise

    My ex-husband teaches meditation and when we were married and teaching full time I often had people making assumptions about my level of “enlightenment” and when they realized that I was an average person working toward growth like them they were disappointed and became disillusioned even though we never ever proclaimed to be anything special. I began to resent being held to a higher standard than everyone else and I would feel guilty about not presenting the exact right image when meeting people. Comments would be made about my shortcomings and it made me feel like a failure that I wasn’t living up to their expectations.(I have long abandoned those attitudes.)

    My point is since you created this blog, bring forth a great deal of information, and allow others to do the same, people will expect you to be perfect, say exactly the right thing, have all the right answers and agree with them all the time because of course they are the sensible ones. They forget that you are here on a journey just as they are to grow, learn and hopefully aid others along the way. So put on your heavy duty armour.

    And then again sometimes people are contrary for their own entertainment.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      You totally get me, Denise! Being human may suck, but thinking someone is otherwise sucks even more. If people only knew how I struggle with internal and external forces just like everyone else.

  • Denise

    Jesus came upon a group of people stoning a woman because of her wicked ways. Jesus pushed his way through the crowd admonishing them all “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” A shamed silence descends over the crowd.
    Two seconds later a stone whizzes past Jesus’ ear and beans the woman smack in the forehead.
    Jesus turns to see who has thrown the stone and exclaims in frustration, “Mom!”

  • iola

    Nikki,
    how perfectly you echo me feelings. Elisa, you have done so much for me, for Drew, even for my husband Matt..you have a piece of my heart forever!
    Politics aside, lets come together, bringing comfort, peace, and a light for us all to find our way by. I love you all, my dear heart family!

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Looking back at my list of questions, I see that the whole, “are you conservative or liberal, Erik?” one was actually posed by a blog member! Of course I saved it til the end because I knew I would catch hell, but… By the way, Iola, Drew went on a walk with me on the Kirkeveigen. It’s the route the Vikings used to take to cross from one mountain valley to the next. He and Erik helped me when I got lost. Of course, copious howls of laughter were involved.

    How cool that you’re going to the Channeling Erik event. I’m pretty sure I’m going. I’m so excited to meet you Elisa!

      So sad. Erik says a lot of people die at the age of 27 because 2+7=9 and nine is the “closure” number. It’s a destiny thing.

  • Joanne

    Hi Elisa, hope your feeling better. The news has been heartbreaking, I can’t but imagine the pain the parents and families are feeling, but I know that many here will know what it feels like. Thanks for the Dave Allen clip, I used to watch him as a child, and have a dvd of his now, you’ll be onto Father Ted next. with love, Joanne

  • Vic Hargood

    I don’t often post on this blog, even though I read it every day, but I would like to add my support for all your efforts Elisa. I don’t have anyone close to me that has passed over, but I underwent a great grief when I lost myself – I believe that in part, this blog and all your hard work, has helped me reclaim that connection. I absolutely love that you are human too with the insecurities and challenges that we all face. Plus, the wealth of information that I have gotten from everyone posting on this website has been amazing. I have bought many books and read many internet articles that I probably wouldn’t have found otherwise – I think this is more important than a discussion regarding politics!
    I will be staying true to my connection and sending love and compassion to all those involved in Norway. Vic x

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Aw, thanks Vic

  • Shawna

    I was saddened to hear the news today too of the shooting in Norway and Amy Winehouse. My prayers go out to those that are grieving and for the survivors to have strength and comfort. Lots of extra angels are needed there way.
    Interesting Elisa that you said the age 27 is a closure number. Jimmy Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison all crossed over at the age of 27 and my ex Pat past over at that age too. Never heard that before, but does make sense.
    Hope you are feeling better.
    Congratulations to Endre on your book! I love your pictures. :)

  • Susan

    Oh thanks Jason for those Links :-) Aww very sad about Amy Winehouse. Very interesting about the number 27 and that Jimmi Hendrix, Jim Morrison died that age too……
    My prayers for Norway…Sad :-/

    Well done Endre.. I’ll check out your link :-)

    Love and Light Susanxoxox

  • Su

    Yes it very sad about Amy Winehouse. Such a gifted soul. Number 27 is curious amongest musicians now gone, could you put it on your question list pls Elisa? How are you today? x

  • Su

    Oh, just saw your reply on 27 :)

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      LOL

  • Steve

    I’d like to know if the young people that died on that island in Norway were part of a group that planned this before birth, or if this was an accident and not part of their soul plans.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      I hope to ask at the event Tuesday.

  • Betty

    Endre’s exquisite photos remind me there is still beauty in this world.

  • Mary

    Thank you Elisa fo giving a Sunday morning a great start with a laugh from watching a brilliant comedian.
    Sending Prayers to all the families and friends of those who have passed over in Norway.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      I plan to ask Erik what this whole tragedy was all about. Did you know that this is the most number of people massacred by one person? Terrible. I feel bad for their families. A lot of parents are in a lot of pain right now. How well I know. The kids and others who passed over, well, their Home and happy. That gives me comfort. Erik has some new playmates. Show them the ropes, Buddy.

  • Denise

    Re: Norway massacre: Obviously anyone who would perform such heinous acts is mentally unbalanced. But I have to wonder is he unbalanced because he agreed to do this before he incarated here and has been subconsciously aware that he is expected to do this? It must weigh heavily on those who agree to be a negative force in the world or even a negative person on a much smaller scale, like a contrary aunt. Perhaps when you ask Erik about this man you can ask are there people who commit such acts as part of an agreement.

    I do realize there are just bad people out there who commit crimes for selfish reasons.

  • Karen A

    Elisa, I was shocked when I heard about the bombing & killings in Norway!! I always thought that would be the last Country terrorism would strike. My grandparents were from Norway and I still hope I can visit there one of these days. My prayers go out to all those families and friends of lost loved ones. Even though I believe this person who committed this horrible crime was somehow living out the contract he had prior to coming here, its so hard not to feel despair when these events occur. Love and light to all.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      it just goes to show you that extremists on either side have their troubles. The shooter is an fanatic Christian conservative who thinks that the Muslims are ruining the country. Truth be told, most Muslims are peaceful and productive citizens. So by massacring these innocent youths, he does far worse than those he despises. It’s sad how we tend to judge groups by their extremes. Most Muslims aren’t terrorists and most Christians are not right wing nuts. Sigh. I can’t wait to see what Erik says about why this all happened. I cry for all the parents who are going through what I did a year and a half ago.

  • Yvonne

    Elisa,
    I am not reading this blog regularly, so forgive me if my timeline is off. But did you say that you were IN NORWAY when the bombings occurred? If that is true, is that beyond any coincidence? Do we even BELIEVE in coincidences anymore? What does it mean? Why do we meet people that we knew in another life when we do (karma? group souls meeting up again?) or why do we find ourselves someplace meaningful that we were destined to be? Is it because we are supposed to DO something? Or is it just “chance” and “luck?” Weird cosmic destiny thing? (just asking, don’t expect you to have the answers :)

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      God, Yvonne, I wish I knew. I plan to ask Erik in my next session. What a terrible thing. That radical right-winged bigot has this idea that Muslims are ruining Norway and so he wanted to mow down all future leaders of the party that condones their immigration. Almost all the Muslim families here are very nice and very hard working. I just don’t get it. But guess what? The mosque in Oslo is holding a memorial service for the young people who lost their lives to that madman. I think that’s so sweet.

  • Karen A

    From what I hear, many of the news stations reported that this was a muslim terrorist who bombed the buildings and killed those children, even before they had any information!! So typical after the horrible anti-muslim propaganda this country puts out. My husband of 35 years is a muslim from Jordan (actually he is Palestinian, but they don’t have a country)and I have lived in Jordan and in Saudi Arabia. All of my husband’s family and all the wonderful muslims I met in those countries are the most wonderful people and soo hospitable. I had one neighbor in Saudi Arabia tell me she would give her eyes for me if I needed them!! I agree with you Elisa, that the extremists in all religions are in the minority, but this country has constantly used their propaganda to make people think all muslims are terrorists! And those of us who do not do any reading or investigating just believe what they hear. I’m sure there are some right-wing nuts out there saying this guy in Olso was justified in his killing all those people.. Sorry for the rant, but this issue is close to my heart. Love to all.
