Channeling Transcript

Me: When our soul group was in the “between lives” phase just before this life, Erik, what did we want to accomplish? How were we to help each other? What were our individual and collective destinies? I know what your destiny was, but what other key elements were involved in creating that spiritual blueprint for the group?

Erik: Well, it wasn’t just between the two of us, Mom. It had to be the whole family or nothing, because even though you were the one who “let me in”—

Jamie (laughing): He’s showing me this image of opening the gates, like “come on in here!”

Me (laughing): That’s funny!

Erik: As a family, we all work together, even if that “together” is a push and a pull sometimes. It has to happen in unison for it to occur.

Me: Yeah, yeah.

Erik: I knew that I was coming into a family that would support me—

Jamie: He puts his hands out—

Erik:—Losing my marbles!

Me (with sadness): Awwww. Yeah.

Erik: I couldn’t go into a family that wouldn’t support it, because then my work wouldn’t have been achieved. In our family, I was accepted for who I was. I needed that from a family unit so that I could complete that, um, not be the perfect person and still be loved. So often, people come in, they’re not what they consider “perfect,” and they feel the pain from other people rejecting them, judging them—constant rejection.

Me (tearfully): Yeah, I know, Baby. I wish I could have protected you from all the pain people outside of the family caused you.

Erik: And it’s hard to get back on your feet with that. But with us, in our family, you taught us, Pappa taught us, that we all hold hands through anything.

Me: Yes, always. Always.

Erik: You know, that’s part of why people need a belief or a faith.

Me: Um hm, exactly.

Erik: I don’t care if people say they’re atheists, that is still a belief.

Me: Oh, yeah. Sure.

Erik: They believe. They think they’re being all witty and getting around it, but in that system of believing—even if that belief is that there is no Higher Power—you find community. We’re not meant to be on our own.

Me: No, we’re all connected.

(Long pause)

Me: Okay, now what are you trying to say with the goosebumps, Erik?  I never had these intense localized goosebumps until after you died. What’s the message you’re trying to send? “Yes go with it,” or “No don’t think or do that?”

Erik: Uh uh. I’m saying, “Yes. Yes, go with it.”

Me: Okay, glad to get that cleared up.

Erik: I’m making you stop and realize that this is where you need to be.

Me: Okay.

Erik: That’s what more people need: to stop and totally be aware of where the hell they are in life. So many people say yes and go forward, and it’s total shit. They need to stop and get centered before leaping forward.

Me: Oh, yeah! But I do get the feeling that you are telling me, “Yep, go for it,” or “Yes, you’re right.” Sort of an affirmation. That’s what it feels like to me.

Erik: Exactly.

I think you’ll all find the next few entries fascinating in that they deal with complex and controversial subjects. Tomorrow, we’ll scratch the surface on religion, then Wednesday, we’ll delve head first into the mind-bending subject of Time.

And now, I’d also like to share a bit about Jamie today, so I’ve attached her brag sheet and qualifications below! Please get to know her and her long lists of talents and accolades. She truly is a gem.

Jamie Butler

I have retained the ability to see and hear spirits (clairvoyance and clairaudience, respectively) since birth. From the age of eighteen I have given readings publicly. I also am able to see energetic fields (what some people term “auras”), and I have the skill to channel spirit, where a spirit relays messages by borrowing my voice and body during a reading.

Now thirty-five, I have built a client base solely by personal referrals, working with people in over forty states across the U.S. and internationally in fifteen countries. I have been a guest speaker at the University of Florida, a frequent presenter for several spiritual groups in Georgia and Florida, and I have been a guest on Atlanta radio: Steve and Vicki in the Morning, and television: Peachtree in the Morning.

1991-1998: Studied psychic awareness under Marguerite Romeis in Gainesville, Fla.

1993-1996: Received Reiki Master degree

1998: Completed course of study at Florida School of Massage and became a Licensed Massage Therapist and Hydrotherapist

1998-present: Teach a six-week intensive spiritual exploration course of various modalities (dowsing, meditation techniques, the chakra system, how to see energy, healing techniques, and my favorite—games to increase telepathic skills)

2000: Received Master Hypnotherapist degree from The New York Institute

2001-present: Doctoral candidate of Albert University, working towards a degree in Alternative Healing

2001: Completed Dr. Brian Weiss’s intensive class on past life regression and hypnotherapy at the Omega Institute.

2002-present: Serve as president of Love and Light LLC, an organization designed to support, create, and inspire spiritual growth of all ages through classes and readings for all ages.

2006-present: Opened Love and Light center in Atlanta, teaching youth and adult classes, helping raise awareness and teach techniques in communication to the beyond and spirituality.

2007-present: Author of With Love and Light, Mommy, What is Deaf, Smell-a-therapy, Reiki for Small Hands

    Another excellent thread!! It makes perfect sense. I’ve also felt the sense of rejection as a gay man, and that has been a challenge for me in my life, you know – self esteem issues and all that.

    I truly adore Jamie. I found her through a friend who is actually an old friend of hers, knew her before she decided to do readings for a living.

    Her center here in Atlanta is wonderful. I’ve had two past life regressions done there (via another therapist, Randee Scheinin). I’ve sat her in psychomanteum room to see if I could see spirit. I’ve gone to several of her channelings.

    Jamie is similar to Robert – she has very little ego, she’s down to Earth, gentle, and sweet…and funny. She has 2 beautiful kids and a wonderful husband.

    I’ve also done three readings with here over the years, and each one was very powerful with at least 6 people showing up to give me advice. Each time, the person in my family who died the most recently came forward first.

    I highly recommend Jamie.

  • Denise

    My husband says he’s undecided and I tell him that deciding not to decide is a decision.

    Hi Elisa,

    You know your above post about family is interesting to me because I have such a fractured family…not like yours. Our family has never been cohesive with my ex-husband being an alcoholic who when we divorced about 10 years ago has yet to visit or communicate with our only son who is now 31.

    And, my family of brothers and one sister, is also fractured. With a brother who disowned the family about 15 years ago, a sister who I never could get along, a brother who died young and an older brother who is on the asperger’s side of personality who I rarely see.

    That’s why it is confusing to me when I feel closer to you and Erik than I do to my own family. What do you think is up with that?

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      I know. Sometimes parents are just the Greyhound bus that gets us here (and the siblings are often the cranky fellow passengers). I have no doubts that we have had past life connections. This has already come up with other blog members. Maybe we all planned to meet through this blog?? Anyway, I’m glad it happened. I adore you, Pat.

  • Kerrie Aus

    Dear Elisa,
    I am just a little confused. What is it that your family were to accomplish in this life? Was it to support Erik,unconditionally despite any problems he had and then to have a realisation of what this world is all about after Erik passed over, so you would be open to receive his messages and share them with the greater community? If this is so I think I have had and am having a similar experience. My son, David passed in 2007 at 19. He had a difficult time being accepted by many people and was bullied a lot at school. When he left this earth realm I found myself on a journey of self discovery and trying to find out what this world is all about.My line of thought seems very similar to yours and I am so glad I found your blog. I read it every day and it gives me much validation of my thoughts. Thankyou.Can’t wait for the time travel blog.My son and I have just been watching “Back to the Future,” for the umpteenth time.I know this is probably not what you mean about time travel but it certainly brings up some interesting points such as paradoxes, circular paradoxesetc.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      I think the work Erik and I are doing is a part but not all. Some of what we’re to accomplish depends on the family member. One is to learn to accept people for their flaws and not try to protect them, to let go. Others are hear to learn responsibility, Others are here to learn that material possessions should hold power over our lives, etc. In other words, each member of the family is here to teach and learn in an almost infinite number of permutations in our relationships. Most of this I can’t share for fear of being floated out to see on an ice floe like an old eskimo woman, but… Privacy issues, you know. Can’t wait to share the time thing with you, Kerrie!

  • Shawna

    Very interesting how we pick out our families to mesh together what we came to accomplish, working together to learn, the yin-yang push pull. I would definetly say my belief and family have helped me to pull through. So religion isn’t a bad thing and I don’t knock anyone’s. I don’t care for the extremist on any but interested to hear more. I bet a lot of us have known each other before. :) Jamie sounds really cool. Digging my new phone but harder to posts comments. lol
    Love & Light,
    Shawna

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Yay, I love having Shawna back posting comments!

  • http://channelingerik Pat

    Thank you Elisa. You brought tears to my eyes with your response. I have never felt like I belonged anywhere…now I do. I adore you too.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      We always have your back, hun.

  • Steve

    My father is a relationship villain. I was told that he is here to teach me self esteem and self love, which seems to be the root of a lot of my issues. The contrast situation where he would make me feel not good enough was for me to grow stronger and surpass that.

    That’s why we have challenging people in our lives. I truly believe that now, it makes perfect sense. It’s hard to explain in a few paragraphs.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Kudos to you, Steve, for being one of those who prevail and rise above. It does help us see our relationship villains with more love and compassion, doesn’t it? I do prefer that to hate or resentment. Sometimes, though, it’s hard to shift from one perspective to another.

  • Skoshi

    What a wonderful, warm group this is. I saw on the Huffpost tonight that Gays who were discharged from the military are suing to be reinstated. As a lawyer who has concerns about justice, I think that’s a great use of the law. I bet their cases succeed. As I read the report, I thought about Steve and others who have been treated unfairly. Over the years I have had and still have quite a number of gay friends. One committed suicide. He had been estranged from his sister for many years. When they were children, she hated and ridiculed him and even tried to smother him with a pillow once. I have a gay cousin who was so disrespected by his immediate family that he has been out of touch with all of us for decades. What a loss for us! Those who are gay have really taken on quite a burden in trying to get those who are prejudice to gain enough wisdom to turn their uncompassionate hearts around.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      My recently deceased friend, Brian, went through the same abuse. His estranged sister (who he excluded from the will because she refused to help care for their elderly mother) even refused to pay for his cremation, even though the estate would pay her back. In the end, she agreed to do so, if she received interest, but she said she would flush his ashes down the toilet when she got them. I had to get Brian’s nephew (the sole beneficiary) to rein her in and treat his remains with respect. He has been disabled because of AIDS he’s had since the mid to late 80s (one of the longest survivors I know of.) Yet he always gave, gave, gave of himself and his things. He was beaten over and over by various thugs, including his homophobe neighbors. But he always had love in his heart.

  • Shannon

    Oh Elisa, the Greyhound bus analogy is so very, very spot on! Thanks for the giggle! I had the bus schedule in my hand pre-conception! There was no way in Hell my family could have been capable of remaining intact for any length of time.

    Awesome post!

    Love you girl!!

    S.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Love you too, Shannon!

  • Skoshi

    And I bet when Brian’s family crosses over, he’s as kind as ever to them and his sister’s just as in need of straightening out her act! BIG SIGH.

    Speaking of Erik, I have another idea for the use of his talents. (Is he sick of me yet? It DOESN’T involve cooking. LOL) I was going through my bookcase last night and saw “The Afterlife Experiments; Breakthrough Scientific Evidence of Life After Death” by Gary E. Schwartz, and “The Universe in a Single Atom” by the Dalai Lama, and “The Demon Haunted World” by Carl Sagan, and it triggered all kinds of thoughts of proof of continued discarnate existence. You’ll remember I said Carl Sagan, the eminent scientist and astronomer (he wrote “Contact”, the Jody Foster movie) said in “Demon Haunted World” that he thought an experiment could be conceived of and carried out to prove reincarnation? Anyway, I was wondering, now that Dr. Sagan is no longer Dr. Sagan but is back with Source, if he and Erik could devise a viable experiment and convey it to you, and we could get a scientist or university department (like UVA where Dr. Ian Stevenson used to be) to seriously consider carrying it out? Sagan has to be busting up there with ideas to prove his point!

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Skoshi, as long as we keep him away from the kitchen, anything is game. Actually, he was a great cook, but he ate a lot of junk food when he wasn’t cooking Eggs Benedict and Tandoori omelets. He’s not sick of you. He might even be nudging you to tell me all of this. Has he contacted/communicated with you recently?

  • Skoshi

    Wouldn’t it be absolutely the cat’s meow (I show my age!) if Erik worked with Dr. Carl Sagan and Dr. Ian Stevenson to devise a successful experiment to scientifically prove reincarnation?! I can’t believe those 2 men have lost their interest in the topic. If no one else acknowledged him, I think we’d have to grant Erik an honorary doctorate for his efforts.

    Sagan was involved in SETI you know. In “Keepers of the Garden”, Cannon reports regarding activity on other planets that she’s told (p. 23) “our technology [meaning earth's] has not progressed to the point where we can see this activity or detect it.” I wonder what Sagan, and others who are in the Unfettered state, could tell us about how to “tweak” our technology so our scientists could make conclusive contact. It would be nice not to have to depend upon governments to be honest with us.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Honest government, Skoshi? Now that’s a heck of an oxymoron if I ever heard one! Maybe Sagan and Stevenson can be on the list of celebs/historic figures he channels for the lighthearted book #2.

    I just wanted to let everyone know, that I did a channeling session with Jamie. It was knock me down incredible. I spoke to my dear lost son, who passed by suicide 14 months ago. He gave me the answers I sought, made me laugh, made me cry. Jamie was wonderful. Also, finding this blog, Erik, Elisa, and all of you, have helped me find my belief in God and all our angels after I had lost it. These insights posted here ring true to my soul…way deep inside, i know them to be true. I love you all, for all the help and love you have shared. You are all my family…love to you all. Thanks Erik, for bringing me back to Andrew.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Thank you, Iola, for being a dear friend and member of this wonderfully loving family.

  • Gwen

    Elisa…..This particular transcript has really helped me in understanding the reasons why my own family (parents/siblings) were not “close” to each to each other as I have seen in other families…..The Greyhound analogy put it into perspective….Thank You for that insight…. “Another piece to the Puzzle”.
    About the goosebumps…I discovered thru a medium that goosebumps are affirmations…..And are at times depending on what my thoughts are I see them as a validation……And sometimes will ask to give me the goosebumps if what I am thinking is correct..I know when I am on my chosen path when this happens..Speaking of families with Villain Relationships…I chose to be adopted at the age of 8…..Both sets of parents served a Purpose…It is BECAUSE of the type of trauma I experienced as a child (if is not resolved it only snowballs) and living with a family with serious issues…IT revealed to me many years later (when I was ready) WHERE Gwen was not (on a spiritual level) and WHAT I needed to resolve within me……I know how much hate and resentment I felt all those years and Today and can tell you that as I write these words I have tears flowing because I Understand what the Purpose was for and I am so grateful that my parents did what that were meant to do…
    One final note: Reading this blog Elisa has continued to be instrumental in raising my awareness – thanks to you and the blog members!

    Much Love and Gratitude
    Gwen

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Gwen, my love, isn’t it amazing when you understand the role our “villains” have in our life that it often replaces resentment with gratitude? (Gulp–sometimes) I’m so happy you told me about the goosebumps thing being an affirmation. It’s always comforting to get second opinions!

  • Skoshi

    I, too, found the Greyhound analogy very appropriate. Unfortunately, loving people like Steve come in expecting to give and get love but find it not returned. I had a gay housemate while going to college. He was always stressed after talking on the phone with his mother; she told him she hated it that he was in DC with all the gay men who were here. I gave him a book about toxic relationships. It was really freeing to him. It’s a shame that a person has to come to realize his mother is toxic in order for him to feel comfortable with life.

    Elisa, every once in a while a clear picture of Erik with a mouth full of Marshmallow Fluff pops into my mind. I think you’re right that the words “honest” and “government” don’t belong in the same sentence!

  • Denise

    When I look at my children I see all the possibilities, all the wonderful things they are and I can accept all their faults because I love them and want to help them.
    Recently a relative had an altercation with an ex that resulted in police being involved. After snickering at how ridiculous their actions were, I had a smack on the head (2×4) from my guides. If I were to look at this person the same way I look at my kids and see the sweetness, love, smiles, giggles, frustrations that we all deal with instead of just the obvious surface action it is much easier to be compassionate toward them or anyone else. We are all struggling with getting it right. I must look past the surface of every person I meet and appreciate the complexity of being here and working at growing.

    Several pages back someone said “I want to be on the other side and they want to be here…grass is always greener”. Boy did that hit me. I’ve been thinking of that ever since. I have a tendency to fall into the “it’ll be better when…” This is when.
    It doesn’t matter how much knowledge I am exposed to or how much I think I know there is always more. I’m still the kid with the training wheels on my bike when I think I am flying a jet.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Denise, you always have amazing analogies and metaphors. I’ve had the “smack on the head” experience several times in my life. Sometimes when I feel less compassion than I should for someone, I try to imagine them as either a very, very old and frail person or a tiny baby. It helps shift my perspective. There that is again: shifting perspective.
