Channeling Transcript

Jamie: How are you doing?! Happy New Year!

Me: I’m doing fine, and Happy New Year, Merry belated Christmas and the whole shebang to you, too, Jamie!

Jamie laughs.

Jamie: I was just chit-chatting with Erik about how you handle all your emails.

Me: Uh huh.

Jamie: He says you get hundreds of them every day!

Me: Oh, yeah, I just, uh, I know, I do. I get a lot. But I don’t even look at my spam folder. I just select all and delete. Yeah, I have to go through my emails several times a day, but I don’t mind it. It keeps me off the streets.

Jamie (laughing hard): Keeps you off the streets!

Me: Of course my looks alone would probably keep me off the streets, but that’s a whole nuther story!

Jamie giggles.

Me: So, Erik pulled some pranks on us in Norway. That was so funny!

At this point, I preceded to recount the story about the heating elements in the bathroom floor of our cabin going totally haywire. See the entry entitled A Ray of Hope for the New Year from January 1, 2011.

Jamie (laughing) Oh my god! I’m happy he’s so kind to me!

Me: I know, girl; you’ve gotten off easy!

Jamie: I have! I’ve just gotten a few rotten smells!

Me: I know. We’ll see though, because I told him when we do the radio show with Sheila Gale, he needs to work his mischief!

Jamie: Before you called, he told me, um, he came in and he goes, ‘You know, my first time on national radio and I’m going to sound like a little girl!’

I laugh.

Jamie: So I told him I’ll do my best to describe everything, and he goes, ‘Yeah, but you sound like you’re twelve!’

(This is totally true, by the way.)

Me: I know, you do! You REALLY sound young. That’s so cute.

Jamie: So I say, ‘Should I hire a man or lower my voice?’ He’s so funny. He’s making me laugh all the time!

Me: I guess I’ll have to get the testosterone shots ready for you, Jamie!

Jamie and I both laugh.

Me: Anyway, I guess the first thing I want to know is how you’re doing, Erik. We always ask questions for other people and questions about the universe and the afterlife, but how are you doing, Sweetheart? What have you been up to, other than mischief?

Erik (giggling): That’s my favorite thing to be up to!

Me: Ah, I love it too!

Jamie: He kind of throws his hands out.

Erik: I’m doing great. I’m in my body—

Jamie: He touches his chest.

Erik: I’m in my body—

(Of course while I transcribe this, I’m kicking myself for not asking him to clarify. He must be talking about his energy body.)

Jamie: He kind of bends to the right side.

Erik: And I’ve been good with my dating.

Jamie: He’s talking about being with a specific woman.

Erik: Oh, good! Are you talking about Jillian, your girlfriend, or have you moved on to do some other womanizing?

Erik: No! I’m serious about her!

Me: Ah, good, good!

Erik: It feels good to have someone that you can be in love with and trust. You know how that goes.

Me: Yeah! How are you progressing?

Jamie: He kind of leans back.

Erik: I dunno. You wanna put a number on it? I’m definitely learning something new every day.  That’s progressing. The moment I stop learning, I might as well be thrown back to earth!

Jamie: He laughs. He thinks that’s a very funny statement!

Jamie and I giggle.

Me (in mock pleading): Well, throw yourself back to me!!

(Pause)

Me; No, I’m happy that you’re doing what you’re doing. It’s hard for me not having you here, my darling boy, but I’d do anything and sacrifice anything to make sure you’re happy!

Erik: You don’t want another baby!

Me: If it’s you, I do! Oh, no, no, NO! Don’t come back! You have to wait for me! PLEASE! I was just kidding! But you’re happy with your progression, right? That’s all I care about—that you’re happy with where you’re moving. And by the way, bless you for even thinking I could have another baby!

Erik: Hell, yeah, I’m very happy with it. I’m especially happy about how the book is coming together.

Me: Okay, good!

Erik: You’re putting all the chapters together.

Me: Yeah, that’s right! Okay, now we’ve talked about how there’s no time in the dimension you’re in, Erik.

Erik: Correction, Mom. Let’s just say there’s no linear time.

Me: No linear time, yes. Just regular time. There’s a moment when everything is happening at once. A moment point, I guess.

Erik: Yes.

Me: What about space? Is there space where you are? What is space, really? Not outer space, you know, but—

Erik (laughing): There’s definitely space. We have outer space; we have space—

Me: So, of course, space does exist. Is space the canvas we paint our realities on, or…

Erik: It continues endlessly.

Me: Oh, yeah, infinite.

(Long pause)

Me: Anything else?

Jamie (chuckling): He’s giving me this visual.

(Pause)

Jamie: I don’t even know how to describe it! It’s like a square box—a glass box.

Me: Uh huh.

Jamie: It’s very small, and it’s sitting on a shelf. And it’s sitting in a room with a whole bunch of little glass boxes. And when you get close to the box, there’s a light in it.

Erik: We’ve trained ourselves to think we can fit our existence and what we know in a box—that we have parameters and boundaries. So for people to talk about space and that “space time continuum,” it shatters their glass box, and it’s very uncomfortable for people to do this.

Me: Yeah, I bet.

Erik: And so, people would rather say, ‘Ah, I don’t need to know that here.” You know what, they’re right. That’s why we come to earth. We come to narrow down. We come to simplify. We come to gain that “glass box” image.

Me: Hm.

Erik: So, if you want to talk about the nature of space, I think we really need to sit down and ask, ‘What do you want to present? What are you trying to show?’ I think the best lesson is this: It’s great to be narrow-minded while we can, because life is short. Of course you can ponder the infinite nature of space and a more expansive perspective, but you can’t live life from that perspective if it means not completing your spiritual contracts and the lessons you’re supposed to learn on the earthly plane. You have to live life from the perspective of a human being, uh, let me back up. You have to live life as a spiritual being living a human experience and not like a “free as a bird, eternal spirit.” You won’t learn shit like that.

Me: Yeah, we need to concentrate on the lessons we’re here to do and on using the duality of the earthly playing field to our best advantage. It’s too hard to create that duality, that contrast, when we have the expansive perspective we have when we’re discarnate like our eternal nature, our infinite realities and probabilities and dimensions and selves.

Jamie: He’s putting his finger up in the air.

Erik: You’re right! We do have to concentrate on a narrower perspective when we’re in the physical, and what’s the most important thing to concentrate on over there? HONOR. THAT is a concept of LOVE.

Me: Ahh!

Erik: Open communication from one human being to another.

Me: Yep.

Erik: And that means love for a plant, a tree, an insect, an animal, a being.

Me: Love for life, period. I mean, there are all sorts of love. Now, when we’re on this little stage, doing this little school play called the human experience, what you’re saying is that we need to concentrate on the play itself and the roles we have in it. We have to narrow things down and focus on the task at hand?

Erik: Yep. That’s the simple GLORY in life.

    It’s so important for me to get these daily doses of spiritual wisdom here. Especially as I sit at my very linear, analytical job and get trapped in all the stress that that involves. For example, a co-manager is IM-ing me right now and I’m choosing not to read it until I get this post completed :)

    Anyhow…

    I just love this blog! Thank you Elisa, Jamie, Erik, everyone.

    Make that TWO souls that you are touching in NC! Thanks Elisa and Erik!

    this is exactly what i have a problem with in my life,,,i always think of things in the infinite and eons of time instead of daily living or moment to moment living. It is a very depressing outlook on life and it causes me tremendous grief. I try to change the vision my mind has now on a moment to moment day by day view but it is hard to do. i asked for guidance a few times now and i think i have been given the reason for my problem and from what i am getting it all stems from losing my first born to a stillbirth when i was 15 yrs old. i think that i have been punishing myself for causing his death out of ignorance and immaturity about pregnancy. It is a long story but i was told i could sue the doctor involved but my parents left it up to me and i declined because when it boiled down to it no money could fix my heart and i already felt guilty for being ignorant and didnt want to have to go in front of strangers and tell them that because i listened to my doctor and took a bath instead of a shower my beautiful baby boy drowned inside of me. but i think i can let go of punishing myself now and start to live for today instead of waiting till i see my son again. I wrote this lulabye for my son when i was 19 yrs old and pregnant with my second son. I would love to share this with everyone here in C.E> family

    Nightie-Night, Nightie-Night little angel in the sky. Nightie-Night, Nightie-Night let me feel your heart in mine. I love you more then you will know.You brighten up my life. I’ll let you see the world through me. You’re the sparkle in my eye

    Nightie-Night, Nightie-Night little sparkle in my eye. Nightie-Night, Nightie-night let me touch your soul and fly. You are the sweetest part of me. Let heaven keep you safe. Until the time I’ll come to you and we’ll fly side-by-side

    Nightie-Night, Nightie-Night little child I had in spring. Nightie-Night, Nightie Night I would give thee anything. And when you’re looking down at me I hope that you will see. I love you more and more each day. You’re love still grows in me.

    Me too! in Tennessee. I love this blog and the wonderful people here. It has saved my life and I will never forget that.

  • Skoshi

    Thank you Erik and Elisa! Gotta say, from the title of this section, I never expected the topic to be about eternity and infinity. What a lovely analogy. : )

    Pat, Laura, and Lukas – I’ve sent you more Reiki.

    Pat, if you want to “give” but get sick from thinking about the abuse children are taking, you might try other areas than children for volunteer work. I did Hospice work for a long time till I became too ill, because I could do that and not “shatter” the way I did when I worked with abused children. I felt I was providing an important service others aren’t capable of dealing with. Even with the degree in Human Development, VA hospice insisted on providing 6 weeks of free training with lovely meals each time. As long as you aren’t assigned a dying child you’d probably be just fine. You can just tell them you can’t deal with a child. Once I realized I have blood going backwards into my heart and can get an infection in it, I stopped hospice work. I also worked with deaf organizations, the library, and independent living centers. I have a friend who works with the local humane society, but I’m afraid of catching something. These things can lead to jobs too. There was a county organization that had a list of places that need volunteers…senior centers, etc. I used to spend a night a week at the “N Street Village” in DC sitting with the homeless women. One of the houses has mentally ill and women in substance abuse recovery (they can’t be there if they’re actively using). They have a separate house for elderly homeless women and another for homeless women who have been released from the hospital having had surgery and aren’t well enough to be back out on the streets. The Catholic Church used to provide RN nuns for that section of the “Village” even though the Village was a Lutheran project. They had a “day” program for homeless women to come in out of the cold and work on crafts or just visit, do puzzles, have a warm bowl of soup. Now they also have a child day care for homeless woman and job training. They need a lot of volunteers to function and have paid people too…Masters of Social work, computer data folks, etc. It is an entire city block in DC.

    I’m re-reading Convoluted Universe III. She tells of a woman who was an RN in Germany during WWII who was raped by soldiers and killed. She and the first rapist agreed to come back together (he as the father), and re-do their “mess” to “undo” it. Instead, he couldn’t buck his desires and sexually abused her from her early life till she left. Under hypnosis her soul told Dolores she decided to make the best of it and help other abused women. So goodness knows what we have in our past lives. I hope you find answers to your physical symptoms, Pat. According to Reiki, illness in the second chakra region (bowel and reproductive) are almost always family-related. In the third (I had an ulcer), lack of power. I was a doormat for my mother and then husband. Powerless. I was terrified of them both, actually. Heart attacks are indicative of not having the heart to continue, and cancer is anger turned inward instead of being expressed toward the abuser or injustice.

    Joanne.Your lullaby reminded me of something. A few months back I was watching the tail end of a documentary about a glass blower in my neighboring county in Bucks County Pa. At any rate, the scraps of unused glass became “tears of glass”. Created for people who are grieving& commemorating their loved ones. Here’s the history if anyone wants to read: http://glasstears.com/glass-tears/about-us/The-History-of-Glass-Tears.aspx

  • Skoshi

    What John Joseph was talking about sounds a lot to me like what Dolores Cannon refers to as “imprints”…or what the souls of those who educated her about “imprints” called them. She says it’s impossible to know the difference between an “imprint” and a life one actually lived…both for the soul and for the hypnotist, and the souls insisted it doesn’t even matter…what they needed was the information they gained by the imprint. Does that sound right?

  • http://channelingerik Pat

    Oh my God Skoshi!!!!

    This morning I decided to try your meditation technique but instead of meditating at my desk which I don’t usually have any success at, I decided to meditate after my floor stretches that I do.

    So I was very relaxed and warm and was sitting on the floor cross legged. I closed my eyes and said to myself “I have the intent to have my beautiful Angels help me understand my illness” (which I was very specific about). After repeating this just a couple of times, suddenly there was a flash of a young girl about 4 or 5 with a frilly dress, laying on her back, screaming hysterically and kicking with her legs trying to push someone away. It was extremely brief but shocking. I was stunned and immediately starting crying uncontrollably for about the next 15 minutes straight.

    I don’t know what it meant but it was very emotional. After all the crying, I started to breathe very deeply and kept saying “Release the energy, release the energy”. I must say that after I sort of came out of it, and after some time had passed, I was feeling much better.

    Now I am really curious as to what this flash in my head was all about. It was terrifying and upsetting but I feel that my Guides were showing me something. This is all extremely intriguing and really has me thinking with so many more questions.

    Perhaps I am opening a door to past life traumas that are being expressed in my illness and my Guides were trying to show me this. Maybe Erik can shed some more light on this and help all of us better understand and deal with subconsious, blocked negative energy.

    Skoshi….Thank you, thank you, for suggesting the meditation technique, the Reiki energy you are sending and all your helpful suggestions. You are a very special, loving soul. I will never forget your kindness. XOXOXOXO

  • Skoshi

    My heart goes out to you, Pat; you are VERY brave. Second chakra issues are often very traumatic because they deal with betrayal by those we trust the most. I have seen glimpses of many lives, and since they are all “now”, they are very powerful, even good memories. I will send you Reiki often. I always ask Source to continue sending Reiki for as long as it is needed, but repeating the request doesn’t hurt! When we have a traumatic event, it’s similar to if we swallow a huge chunk of unchewed steak…it takes time to digest. Be as gentle with yourself as you would with another vunerable person. Aren’t your guides/angels good to you?! They knew you were ready for a leap in insight or they wouldn’t have shared this with you.

    For those of you who have worn glasses since childhood, you’ll find this interesting. Hethyrre has told me several times that often it is because the person saw something terrible in a previous life and there’s some aspect of them that doesn’t want to see. It’s a form of protection that doesn’t work for us very well. We’ve all been through a lot. Earth is a tough school.

  • Skoshi

    By the way, you might find this especially interesting Pat. I’m rereading Convoluted Universe III and Cannon has a question and answer chapter. The section about meditation asks how we can be sure if the thoughts that come through in meditation are our thoughts or are coming from higher planes. The answer she gives is: It is the amount of emotion and feeling that is connected with that thought. Random thoughts that occur and flit through your mind about things past, things desired, speculations, hopes and dreams, do NOT have the emotional impact that impressions from your larger self have. The FEELING is your key. If you think the answer in words, with no feeling, it needs to be critically analyzed. It seems that FEELING is essential.

  • JoAnn Nichols

    thank you ,,i used to sing it to my children when they were little also,,,my voice was never good but now i am too out of breath with my emphysema that i can not sing it to my grand babies.

  • http://Www.twitter.com/lovealfine Alfine

    The pain in my back is diminishing more and more each time I stretch it daily – which is new! Not sure if you remembered me on your “Send Reiki” list Skoshi, but if you did – I think it’s working :)

    Regardless, thanks for your never ending insight and helpful commentary to the posts and other comments! I’m very interested in the connection between emotional/mental energy and physical ailments ever since reading Louise Hay’s, “You Can Heal Your Life”. Would you be so kind to remind me of the other books to check out that explore this topic?

    Would love to know more :)

    All my love to everyone, always!

  • http://channelingerik Pat

    Thank you again Skoshi.

    I believe you are right when you say trust the feeling because it was strange that I was crying and not even knowing why. It also hit me like a ton of bricks.

    The other interesting thing about yesterday is that I was reading a link posted by another CE member called the Jovius Channeling. This passage really jumped out at me…

    “You sometimes get something other than what you ask for. Some of you understand that asking can bring about amazing and very interesting results. What you have desired may not always be what is best for you and the Universe continues to send something else your way.”

    Maybe the Universe knew that advocating for abused/neglected children was going to be too much for me so it gave me an illness not only to “send something else my way” but to offer the opportunity to work through my blocked negative energy.

    Love and light to you Skoshi for helping me and continuing to help me when I need it the most. You are an Angel. Bless you.

  • john joseph

    Skoshi,

    That’s a term I hadn’t heard “imprint,” but it’s one that wakes up my imagination to explore further. I think Erik’s thought about focusing on the “narrow” is a way to come up for air from communion with a world which seems to have no boundaries. Some of us, though, have the experience of feeling “insane” in the body; that’s how I’ve felt since my Dad crossed, like my “body” has been stolen (i.e. has no more meaning in this world I inhabit). We all do the best we can, those of us who absorb all the information, the dreams, etc and are comforted slightly but still just do not understand how this separation, however “brief”, could be permitted. I have enough wisdom I suppose to know I don’t yet have the wisdom not to plead “not fair!”. I will understand when I understand, no sense in forcing something that will just meet rebellion with twice the force.

    I’m praying for the people of Japan and hoping the rescue workers between worlds will reach out with loving arms to help those who have crossed and don’t fully understand what’s happened to them.

  • Iola

    I was reading about Japan, ans thought..maybe we could send all our light/prayers to Japan today at noon…seems like these catastrophies are happening more and more often..and I feel so helpless to help.
    Sending my prayers there today.
    Joann, Your poem is beautiful! You bring tears to my eyes..I can picture myself singing it to Andy as a babe. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful love!

  • Gwen

    WOW!! Elisa …..this is one of the best postings!!! I have been thinking the last few days (I read the blog daily) what is relevant to me today and what I am becoming aware of in my spiritual journey is “what really matters”….And when I read Erik’s comments about narrowing things down so that our enlightenment is about the life we are Now Living…In other words – What do I need to know now that will help me move forward today that will help me to heal? Emotionally, physically, etc. I want to say thanks to Skoshi for sharing …..She has a way of explaining things in simple terms – Like you do Elisa….
    New Subject: Erik talks about his relationship with Jillian…..A few months ago (this was posted) I had a dream that Erik was getting married…..This is how it went: Someone told me in the dream that Erik was getting married and I said really? And then I went to Erik to ask him if he was getting married? He said yes and we both looked down to show me his ring (I know this is odd- after all it is a dream ) He quickly realized he needed to put it on the other hand- The reason I know this to be Erik is that his hair was more curly than usual and a ton of it and medium length
    It was very “pronounced” …and I believe that was his way of letting me know that it was him!!! So I will of course not be surprised when he marries Jillian…..That dream today is as clear as it was when I had it a few months ago…..

    Love the Blog and thanks Erik and Elisa for bringing the skeptic out of me more and more!!!!

    Love
    Gwen

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Yay, maybe there’ll be another grandbaby in my future! (hee hee) Good job, Erik.

  • Skoshi

    Pat and Alfine…I’m about to do a session of Reiki and will send more to you and Laura too.

    John Joseph, the imprint idea resonates as true and reasonable to me. Why should we have all these experiences and pool our knowledge and then not share it when it can clearly benefit one and all?

    You want more titles on Reiki books or medical intuition/healing? – XOXO

  • Alfine

    Medical intuition/ healing please! :)
