Channeling Transcript

Me: Well, that’s depressing! Let’s talk about another lighthearted subject—the Tucson Shooting thing. Was that a spiritual contact issue?

Jamie: THAT was a lighthearted subject?!

Me: Yeah, didn’t you detect my subtle note of sarcasm?

Jamie: I didn’t pick up on it, but Erik did! (She giggles)

(Long pause while she listens to Erik)

Jamie: Ooo, he’s pissed.

Me (in sympathy): Awwww.

Erik: People can be so angry, but if they HAVE to take it out on someone, they need to take it out on themselves and not on other people who are actually trying to do good!

Me: Yeah.

Erik: This is a lesson, Mom. It’s a lesson in vulnerability. Unfortunately, people are going in the direction of not trusting others. They’re going to turn inward to protect themselves even more, when really they need to talk more, be more public about the way they feel and how they want to deal with it. They’d gain strength in numbers, but now, they just seem to be turning in and cocooning themselves even more.

Me: Yeah, sure. I hope this doesn’t ruffle too many feathers, but I actually feel very sad for the shooter, too. Clearly he was a sick puppy. It seems like he was tormented by mental illness.

Jamie: Did he shoot himself?

(Jamie is not big into watching the news.)

Me: No, he’s alive and in custody, but he’s just, I don’t know, paranoid schizophrenic, I guess, poor guy.

Jamie: I see him shot.

Me: Really? Well, maybe he was shot, but not fatally. I didn’t really get all the details since it just happened.

Jamie: No, I see him shot dead.

Me: Ooo, okay.

Jamie: In the head. Violent.

(Short pause)

Jamie: So one woman died? I see a woman or a girl died.

Me: Well, there was a congresswoman who was shot directly in the head, but she’s alive and will apparently pull through this ordeal, but a little girl, I think age nine, did die.

Erik: She knew what was going to happen. The little girl knew that this was prepared for her.

Me: Oh, wow!

Erik: So, she’s complete with everything she’s done. Her spiritual contracts were all honored.

Me: Oh, good! That’s nice, comforting to know.

Erik: But the others who died were not a part of the contract. They were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Me: So, like collateral damage.

Erik: Yep.

Me: Okay. So was this little girl’s death meant to teach us something?

Erik: Yes. It will, just watch.

Me: Good. (Clearly, the lesson is not supposed to be divulged yet.)

Erik: It ain’t over yet, Mom.

Me: Okay.

(Pause)

Me: Now, why do we have this worldwide terrorism problem, Erik? Is there a spiritual purpose or lesson behind that, too?

Erik: Yeah, it’s to get the world to fucking communicate—

Me: Oh!

Erik: —to get countries to side with each other, join together. The terrorists are not just against the United States!

Me: Oh, yeah, of course not!

Erik: They go everywhere!

Me: What will the outcome be? I know that can change what with free will and all, but…

Erik: Oh, they’ll keep on living and growing and surviving. As they die off, others valiantly rise to the occasion to be the “evil players.”

Me: Yeah. I hate to think that that’s a sign of valor.

Erik: With earth, it works a lot better when there’s good and “bad.”

Me: Yeah, yeah, I know. That damn duality thing.

Erik: And what will come of it will be a stronger world collective, like the United Nations or something. In the next decade, the whole world will work together in different ways to help save itself. Terrorism is just one catalyst in all that.

Me: Well, good, good. So, do these suicide bombers have some sort of big epiphany when they cross over? Is it like, “Where’s my damn virgins?!”

(Frankly, I can’t imagine why any self-respecting young man would sign up for 72 virgins. What the hell do they know? They should really negotiate for 72 whores. Just an opinion.)

Jamie (laughing): Erik’s laughing so hard, because he feels like he’s totally busted, because he DID check that out!

I laugh too.

Erik: I thought it was so obscene to think that a suicide bomber would think he was gonna get laid 72 times by some “pure” woman.

Jamie and I giggle.

Erik: But, yes, they’re indoctrinated so strongly, that when they pass over, that belief is embedded, and they’re searching everywhere for that reward!

Me: Wow.

Jamie to Erik: Well, does it ring true? Do they create that scenario for themselves?

Erik: Hell, no! There’s no self-reward like that. That’s egotistical. God does NOT reward.

Me: Well, do they eventually realize what they’ve done and how awful it was, how wrong it was?

Erik: Yeah, with time. I’ve met some who are still in the mindset that what they’ve done was right.

Jamie: Oops, he’s backtracking.

Erik: God doesn’t judge you, but God also doesn’t reward you. The only thing God will give you is Love. No punishment, no judgment, no reward—just Love.

Me: But if they entered into a spiritual contract to help the collective communicate better, then of course they would have some sort of understanding that their actions served a higher purpose, right?

Erik: Well, not all of them are part of that contract and even the ones that are, they still have to know when the contract is over. They have to come to realize that harming another living being comes from fear, not love. Some do think, “Well, I’m glad that shit’s over and I hope that playing the part of evil helps the world to wake the hell up and pull closer to each other.” But others take a while to remember who they really are and the role they signed up to play.

So, I guess there’s good in everything. Hard to imagine it sometimes, isn’t it. From my own personal perspective, I’m still not spiritually evolved enough to feel respect, gratitude and love for a terrorist. Sigh.

Now, time for a little comic relief.

    i am so glad that i am here on the blog everyday reading the post. I do NOT watch the news and knew nothing about the mass animal deaths or the tuscan shooting. I did however look at the link from the mass animal deaths and read below the videos and discovered alot of terrible things our government allows and practices. I am very sensitive and ussed to stay away from stuff like that because i let my mind dwell on it to the point of making my ownself ill. Now though I can deal with it better and even though it upsets me to learn disturbing facts I can look at it now and not let it swallow me. Thank you all because I owe it all to the blog and the members for teaching me how to cope better and realise that my thoughts and actions are needed in this world and that I can make a difference.

  • Robin

    It’s strange to think of fulfilling a contract that I would agree to do harm to some soul (most likely) from my soul group. Can it be that it would be karma, that both souls agreed to this because it was done to the other? That we must see all sides of all situations in human form.

  • Tracy Lamont

    Oh, you are so bad! Those cartoons are funny!
    I’m not completely up-to-date with your news over there, but wasn’t the little girl who died born on 9/11? Isn’t that a lesson to us all? That she came into being as a beam of light in the devastating darkness of that terrible day, only to have such a short – but, as Erik pointed out, significant – life She must have been a highly evolved soul what with being born and dying on such significant dates.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      I didn’t realize that was her birthdate! Typical to have signs like that when it’s a destiny thing.

  • Denise

    Are we really supposed to get this far into negativity? Is the world where it is supposed to be in terms of progress or are we pretending everything is fine and delaying our growth? It seems the selfish greedy people are in charge and we keep going downhill. These same people will be in for a great shock if they think money will save them; or is it in the contract? Sometimes it is really difficult to be positive.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      But Denise, there is no right or wrong if we make sure everything that happens is a beautiful lesson that throws us that much farther into the LIght. I struggle with this too, but I keep reminding myself that everything always ends up fine. The dead birds, the dead fish, the dead girl in the Tucson shooting, the suicide bombers–they all wear their costumes, play the roles they need to play, and then go back to being bits of God for all eternity. I wish I’d stop forgetting that! It gets a little tedious having to remind myself over and over. Perhaps I need to tie a piece of string on my finger.

  • Steve

    This does make sense. I’ve read accounts via many mediums where the actual person who was the bomber, or whatnot, agreed to play that role with the people ahead of time because of some larger lesson to be learned. It seems odd though. For example, someone might die from a car wreck (via being hit by a drunk driver), but that was planned out at a soul level before birth so that others could gain from the lessons involved (pain, loss, grief, etc).

  • Nina

    Its too bad the world has to suffer through acts of violence just so our dumbasses can learn lessons. In my opinion, the U.S. has been the big bully on the block. It came from such humble beginnings but has gotten out of control! I’m sure there are so many secrets that we know nothing about that cause so many problems amongst countries. I can’t even imagine. Probably some really crazy shit! Lol!

    “(Frankly, I can’t imagine why any self-respecting young man would sign up for 72 virgins. What the hell do they know? They should really negotiate for 72 whores. Just an opinion.)”

    LMAO! Whew!

    I know this is a serious topic and posting, and it is very interesting to discuss, but right now I really need to say THANK YOU for the laugh!

    I’ve had the very thought that you mentioned while attempting to comprehend the mindset of someone commiting such an atrocity – all while expecting that type of ‘reward’. Didn’t sound like much of a reward to me, so my mind went the other direction that you mentioned.

    The unexpected humor and outburst it caused me is very much appreciated. So, thank you! :0)

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Now you all know where Erik gets his irreverent sense of humor. Poor guy never had a chance.

  • Paul Conklin

    Dear Friends,

    What happened in Tucson is a real tragedy. That little girl was so sweet, gentle and kind. She died that day because she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Our Eternal Father would never expect that we enter into a spiritual contract which causes others to suffer. If the Eternal Father required such a thing then He would be party to evil. That is unthinkable. That is unthinkable because the Father will not teach us a lesson through the evil acts of another.

    Certainly we can learn something from those evil acts. But, in my opinion the one that committed this act is seriously disturbed. This to me is less an evil act then it is an act from someone that is seriously mentally ill.

    Love,
    Paul

    Oh boy, here we go into politics again. “Terrorists.” The US government and its military have terrorized more people in the 20th and 21st centuries than any pitiful suicide bombers have in our lifetime. Go ahead and ask Erik. He is a young guy, so he probably does not know the history, but surely he feels of all of the innocents killed by our military and the corporate powers that are made invisible by our media. We are killing for oil right now in Libya and no one here knows that! I can see why, many of the people don’t even watch the news, much less, understand other cultures. And please tell Erik about the Qu’ran and what it says about houri – they are not girls, they are not virgins or any of that other stuff you write about here! Please, PLEASE Learn something about Arabic and about Islam! I am horrified at the ignorance! (Sorry but cultural ignorance is a HUGE issue for me, I read, and I am educated, I see the HARM)

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Oh I have no doubts that Erik feels like the U.S. is NOT innocent. Look what he intimated about the massive animal die-offs. And remember, I was the one who asked about the 72 virgins, not Erik, so it’s my “fault” that was brought up. And the terrorists acts of our government wasn’t the subject of today’s entry. I have no desire to read ANY “Holy” book, either, because Man had a hand in every last one of them, so I don’t know which, if any to trust. I refuse to be indoctrinated. Plus, frankly, that kind of reading bores me silly. I read, I am educated, and I see the harm as well, but I don’t want to judge. (Sometimes it is hard, I admit.) Who’s to say that the corrupt governments all over the world (yes, including ours) isn’t part of some collective lesson too? Maybe they’re a relationship villain trying to help us learn how to bond together in love rather than raise our pitchforks in blame and hatred.

      Furthermore, I’m not going to bend over backwards to be politically correct. It’s just silly to step on egg shells like that. If someone is so fragile as to be offended by a string of letters, well, they’ve got bigger problems to worry about. (And I’m NOT talking about you, I promise.) The term “Terrorist” is aptly applied to suicide bombers because, after all, they create terror in many. Just by calling them terrorists doesn’t in any way mean I refuse to acknowledge the terrorism created by SOME governments, corporations, unions, and other groups driven by a greedy thirst for power, especially those in my country.

      Yvonne, you’re coming off as very supercilious and judgmental to me. I don’t like the way I feel when you use epithets like “horrified by the ignorance.” When you feel someone is “culturally ignorant,” please make sure that you don’t require that they accept YOUR cultural views to be “culturally intelligent.” And instead of being horrified–which is based in fear–try compassion for those who have a lot to learn. And, I know many “uneducated” people who are brilliant, self-taught, not indoctrinated by “highly educated” ideologues in any form, including the written word. Those who blindly accept the garbage many ideologues dish out are, to me, just “pseudo-intellectuals.” I love you, but I also love myself, and to let you speak like that about Erik, me or any other blog member would only be a sign of self-loathing. Step back and take a look at what you’re thinking and what you’re doing.

  • Patrick

    Well said Elisa, well said.
    The US Gov’t, our Armed Forces and their acts are extensions of our will; I’ve never heard of an adminstration forcing its way into power. We bristled at President Bush over Iraq and A’Stan and reacted with Mr. Obama. Look at Libya. NOW…do we re-think things?
    Yvonne, my son is an Infantry Lieutenant in the US Marines…babies would as safe with him (probably safer, his defensive [and offenseive]abilities are considerable) as with you.
    Our Armed Forces are not perfect but they are as or more perfect than any other. What goes on comes back to us, eventually. WE decide.
    For the record, I don’t believe we belong involved in Libya at all; it’s a civil war of internal roots. It’s horrible, certainly, but what foreign power stepped in end slavery in the USA?

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      I agree. I do NOT think it was wise for us to interfere in Libya. People need to fight for their own freedom. When they do that, they have more of a sense of ownership for it. Look at what happens with rental cars. Catch my drift? We can’t save everyone. We need to have faith that they will save themselves or if they were meant to die, that something valuable will come of it. Plus, no one really dies, anyway, right? That one gets me through the day.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      To true, and they should have stopped us. Don’t forget the Native Americans. Someone should have stopped the U.S. from slaughtering them, taking their land. I suppose most countries and most religions have their dirty little secrets. It’s a quandary–to help or not to help? For me, killing added to killing is like two wrongs making a right. it doesn’t work. But I still squirm at the thought of scores of people dying while we sit back and watch. What’s the answer?

  • Skoshi

    Perhaps it’s just that I have lived through the Korean War, the Viet Nam War, the murders of the Kennedy brothers, Doctor King, etc., etc., but, Yvonne, I don’t think any of us are naive enough to think the US has clean hands, including Erik who was so down on humanity that he shot himself rather than continuing to grieve over treatment by unfaithful friends, among other things.

    I’d be interested in hearing what Erik thinks of the work of Laura Knight Jadczyk? She’s a channel and has written a lot of (VERY EXPENSIVE!) books. I came across an interview of her by “Project Camelot” on youtube that’s more than 2 hours long. She thinks that 9/11 was much more involved than the American public was told, and has written a book on that and the coming Shift, etc. She has STRONG, unorthodox opinions (i.e. there are Reptilians who eat humans and prefer to eat vegetarians who are non-smokers and we should all smoke because it improves brain function, etc.). She claims to channel the “Caseopians” and that ETs are evil and governments are brainwashing us, etc. She apparently has quite a large following and a very active blog. In the interview (2010) she said she is going to put a free meditation on her web site (I couldn’t find it)that speeds spiritual growth so people will be ready for the Shift.

    Anyone know her work?

    I watched a nearly 2 hr. interview of Dolores Cannon that was interesting too. She said to be ready for the Shift, people have to work on eliminating their Karma; that eliminating Karma raises one’s vibration so they can go with the New Earth when it splits off. She said we can reduce our Karma by forgiving others and ourselves; that it isn’t easy, but it can be done. If we don’t eliminate the Karma, it isn’t the end of the world, but we won’t be able to go with those who go to the New Earth, because we’ll need to be where we can work off Karma. If we die during the Shift with Karma that still has to be released, we’d reincarnate to a planet where we can work it off rather than to a place with a higher vibration.

  • http://www.channelingmyself.com Todd

    I’ve been reading the responses to many of the posts lately. It has got me thinking about what we are really searching for and why do we want to know. I for one am somewhat confused by the answer I found within myself considering I started a blog about exploring the unknown and trying to find answers to many questions I have.

    All of us here on CE have learned so much from the information Erik has provided. We contemplate the transcripts and try to understand why people do terrible things, why there is suffering, why children have to die etc. We’ve asked about UFOs, ET, Bigfoot and several other intriguing questions. The answer I found was what are we going to do with the information once we have it?

    I think we all agree that once we cross over we are going to get understanding about all these questions we have. I see it this way, imagine a student registering for college in the fall then spending his whole summer studying the very things he is going to learn about in the fall. Enjoy your summer! I am not saying that we should stop asking questions, I certainly will keep searching; however, I am not going to let the things that don’t make sense to me know keep me from enjoying my time here. I am going to live my life and embrace this lifetime, who knows this might be my last.

    I’m sure the reason I incarnated to the earth realm will play itself out regardless of whether I consciously know the answer. I am going to do my best to love and show kindness to everyone (easier said than done, I know!) I hope that each of you will search within yourselves and ask what are you really searching for?

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      I think these issues, however trivial, are a playground for contemplation, for tapping in to the Higher Self, for learning how to bring love and remove judgment from all equations. You’re right, though, Todd. It’s no easy task.

    Love dissolves fear. You cannot be afraid when you are feeling love. Since everything is energy, and love encompasses all energies, all is love.

  • Yvonne

    I did not speak in love, but in anger and judgment, and I am sorry for that. I am angry because of the lies that we have inflicted upon each other and upon others in the human family. Yes, our government, too. Yes, each other, too. We are lied to, and then we don’t know or understand, and then it is like a chain reaction. I urge all of you to consider your past lives. I know that I was once a curator in an ancient library. I do not know where it was but it was a place where scholars of all religions, including ones that don’t exist anymore, came together to share knowledge. There was no mocking or distorting of others religions or their scriptures. There was debate and discussion, all seeking for understanding. There was TRUTH and there was disagreement. I was there to facilitate that. Our past lives allow us to see the bigger picture today. Today we have distinct reasons for being on this earth. I also had another very recent past life. I was a father to a boy, or perhaps I was the boy, during the civil war in Lebanon. We were terrorized by the bombs, our city was destroyed, the fear was so visceral that I could see and smell and feel it. Consider your past lives and what you were sent to do then, and how that effects you now, and what you are sent to do now. All I am saying is that we must be wiser about other cultures and other worlds, because SURELY, each of us – all of you – have lived as others. Again, I am sorry for the anger. How many lives have I lived at the other end of this anger? What is the lesson? Do you think that Erik’s past lives have helped him to understand the bigger picture, or is it that he, like many of us, just do not recall? Me, I recall much of it, in my body, in my soul.
    I love you guys, and I am sorry for my post, which was lacking in love and compassion.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      No worries, Yvonne. I’m sorry if I also was sharp tongued. It’s a mom defending her cub thing. Email me and I’l try to help emedhus@gmail.com.

  • Jane

    I don’t think I will ever be ok with the idea of the “contract” to do evil “for the good of mankind.” I do agree w/ what Erik has said in the past about often we create our own devils b/c we aren’t taking responsibility for our roles in allowing and perpetuating darkness in the world, even just by not embracing and spreading light and love.
    “This is for the peoples’ own good” sounds like the mantra of every tyrant and dictator and robber baron parasite in history.

    As for terrorism, yes there are bad people who commit terror for it’s own sake. We notice especially those who commit it on a small scale. If they do it on a large scale, they are rewarded and held accountable by no one. As such the UK and especially the US are the biggest terrorists in the world w/their wars of Imperialist aggression. And by that I am not implicating the soldiers who do their best in an impossible situation, or the people who do not want war, but the robber baron rulers. As Chris Hedges said: “‎War in the end is always about betrayal, betrayal of the young by the old, of soldiers by politicians, and of idealists by cynics.”

    “How can you make a war on terror if war itself is terrorism?”

    The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. -MLK

    There are many terrorist states in the world, but the United States is unusual in that it is officially committed to international terrorism. -Noam Chomsky

    Everybody’s worried about stopping terrorism. Well, there’s a really easy way: stop participating in it. -Chomsky

    To initiate a war of aggression…is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole. -~Nuremburg War Tribunal

    There were no international terrorists in Iraq until we went in. It was we who gave the perfect conditions in which Al Qaeda could thrive.

    Preventive war was an invention of Hitler. Frankly, I would not even listen to anyone seriously that came and talked about such a thing…

      Wow, all of those quotes are so amazing. Goosebumps!

  • Tracy Lamont

    Well, Jane. You’ve said it all. We can go around in circles trying to solve the worlds political problems. It all comes down to trust and respect between nations. I remember well how we helped Iraq arm itself against the might of Iran. Thus was the birth of Al Qaeda in Iraq and then we decided in our infinate wisdom that they needed sorting out, yet again putting the precious lives of our armed forces on the line. What gives us the right? When we have hooligans fighting on the streets after some football/soccer match or any other such disturbance how would we feel if Gadaffi were to say, ‘Oh, I’ll come over and sort that out for you.’
    The USA and Britain would be incensed with rage at the very idea….and yet we do it to any country that steps outsde of the ideals that we hold instead of respecting the fact that they have their own customs ideals and way of dealing with things. We should have more respect for other nations – our neighbours on this planet – and trust that they can clean up their own backyard without us sending in our own clean-up squad. Then in time, maybe we would be seen more as a good neighbour than the bully on the block (as someone said previously).
    Maybe we should get ourselves elected!!!
