    Ego in Heaven?

    Posted in: 2013 Bloggies, Ego, Heaven

    I’d like to extend my sincerest congratulations to Norse Mythology, winner of the Religion and Spirituality category for the 2013 Bloggies. They’re always a formidable competitor and this is their second win in a tow. Kudos to them! Along the same lines, I’m so grateful to all of you for helping Channeling Erik become a finalist. I can’t tell you how huge that is. There are hundreds of thousands of religion and spirituality blogs out there, and you guys made this happen! Thanks so, so much.

    Now let’s see what Erik has to say about ego.

    Me: Let’s talk about ego in Heaven. It’s different from ego here, right? Is it more about separation? Can you go into that?

    Erik: Yeah, well there’s no need for ego in Heaven.

    Me: Well is it somehow about, “I just wanna feel separate from Source sometimes.”? I know there’s no need for it, but if you didn’t have ego to have that sense of separation, wouldn’t just be completely absorbed into Source?

    Erik: That’s the way you’re defining ego. It’s like if you define ego as being the quality that  you need to be an individual. In Heaven, it’s still the same dynamic as on Earth except there’s no question about the unity part. We know we are all part of one, but we can individually think and react, Now, ego is often described as a  part of an individual on Earth—I’m talking about on Earth—ego is often talking about part of an individual who acts out and kind of claims attention and control and betterment of the self even if it’s a sacrifice at somebody else’s expense. We don’t have that quality here.

    Me: Okay.

    Erik: So, yeah, we’re still individuals, but not in the sense where we feel like we need to be out of protection or out of recognition. It’s funny; I can do something that’s extremely awesome and great, and I have no desire for everybody to know that it was me.

    Me: Oh wow. Well, you were not much of an attention hog when you were in the physical either.

    Erik: That kind of desire, it’s flat here. We already understand that whoever is here is awesome and great, and that’s how we treat each other. So, there’s no need to please anybody else, you know, or to be congratulated. There’s always that success of being who you are. It’s there 24/7. Isn’t’ that funny?

    Jamie (to Erik): What’s funny?

    Erik: 24/7 because we don’t have 24/7.

    Me (giggling): I was thinking the same thing!

    Jamie: You were?

    Me: Yes! I was like, ‘24/7? That doesn’t make sense!’

    Jamie: I didn’t even pick up on it.

    Me: Okay, so what about the flip-flop of that? When you make mistakes or—

    Erik: In Heaven? There aren’t mistakes.

    Me: All right. So, uh, but in human terms, a mistake, like if you, I don’t know how to describe it. There aren’t any mistakes in that there isn’t any judgment there, but—

    Erik: Right, right. And we can’t, um, we can’t impose our emotions onto somebody else. So, if a soul is choosing to be angry, and it’s so about just that little universe of that soul, and then we walk next to that soul who’s choosing to be angry or sad which is kind of unusual because it’s really hard to have those things in these upper dimensions—you don’t feel it, like, empathically. You just don’t pick up on it empathically. You can see that they’re doing it, and you just know what that person’s having that day, and you don’t need to go over and comfort them or help ‘em, because you know that’s what they’re CHOOSING to do. It’s really wild. It’s just a different way of handling somebody. It’s almost like we know that everybody is super smart, their own doctor; they have their own power, and we don’t have to give away ours to make them better.

    Me: Hmm! Okay.

    Jamie: Nice!

    Two little housekeeping issues:

    1) Can you email me with some very basic questions for our new readers? Examples might be “What does a life review entail?” “What is the white tunnel or white light?” “What does God look like?” “What were some of the adjustments you had to make when you crossed over?” “What do most spirits miss about the earthly plane/Heaven?” “What are some of the coolest new abilities you gained that you didn’t have on Earth?”

    2) Here is the schedule for the small group channeling calls for April. Unfortunately, there are only two, so I suggest you sign up as soon as you can unless you’re okay waiting until May.

    April 11th: Conference call for anyone. Maximum of 9

    April 18th: Conference call for grievers (now, not just for parents). Maximum of 6

    Here’s the link: http://withloveandlight.com

    By the way, please use the socializer buttons below like twitter, Facebook, etc. It doesn’t look like many are doing that, because, frankly, it’s hard to remember! But it’s crucial to the growth of the Channeling Erik family. Make it a habit!

    How Food Tastes in the Afterlife

    Posted in: 2013 Bloggies, Bereaved, Burglary, Grief, Grieving, Heaven, Senses in the Afterlife, Victoria Secret

    Yesterday was an exciting day at the Medhus household. My sister, Laura, was all alone in my house watching television when she heard someone jiggling a key to open the front door. She figured it was just one of my kids coming in to do their wash. Then she heard footsteps, but not the usual, “Hello, Aunt Laura.” She peered around the stairway to see the door wide open, none of my kids in sight. Of course, she ran outside and called her husband. When I arrived moments later, I called the police. They said the neighborhood had been plagued with burglaries of this nature recently, especially when no cars are seen in the garage or driveway, true in our case. They searched every room and outside, then told us it appeared only one room upstairs had been burglarized. It looked like a girl’s room. I reassured them that the bedroom belonged to my teenaged daughter and that she usually had clothes strewn all over the floor, so yes, if a room that appeared to be carpet-bombed was the same as one that had been burglarized, I was not surprised by their conclusion. It usually looks like Victoria secret vomited all over her room.

    I spoke to Erik that day and he said that it was one man on foot. He fled because he wasn’t expecting a person to be inside the house and intended to go inside, take a few things, then leave. Apparently he used a $2.00 “bump key”. You can order these online, and it’ll get you into any house unless you have a high security lock. Needless to say, we changed our lock to one of those.

    Okay, enough of that. Let’s see what Erik has to say about palatal delights in the ethers.

    Me: Someone asks this question, “What is Erik saying about food in Heaven and food in the physical plane? Is food in Heaven bland? I thought if colors in Heaven are more vibrant there that the food would be tastier.”

    Erik: Now, c’mon. The taste is way more incredible in Heaven, but it’s not as if we’re fixing a plate of food, and we’re cutting it up, and we’re putting it in our mouths. It’s just not the way it goes. We don’t really need meals.

    Me: Okay.

    Erik: So, if you want a reminiscence—

    Jamie stumbles horribly over the word, so Erik teases her.

    Jamie (to Erik): Just shut up.

    Me: I don’t know how to say these things half the time either.

    Jamie (in a sulky tone): He’s teasing me!

    Erik: If you want a reminiscence of the food you had on Earth, you can create that if you’d like: macaroni and cheese, pizza, and it taste like you recall it, but we do have tastes here that are not associated with the tastes on Earth. There’s more of an electric taste.

    Me: Hm!

    Erik: Like, um, not really a metallic, but an electric taste, and—

    Me: What do you mean?

    (Pause)

    Me (giggling): Like sticking your tongue in an electric socket or what? That doesn’t sound very tasty at all!

    Erik (laughing): Yeah, the human body won’t handle that very well. No, when the flavor comes into the body, because most of what spirits do is they digest the energy that’s around them. It’s not about sitting down and eating and nurturing the body, because we don’t have a physical body. We have a spiritual one—and energetic body. We use and consume energy, and it can be done in different ways. It can be emotional energy, environmental energy, or, you know, you can pretend you’re living on Earth again and pretend to eat food to have energy.

    Me: Okay. How interesting.

    Erik: But the way the energy moves through the body is much like how electricity does. It has a conduit. Let’s pretend like if it touches your tongue you can feel it in your toes. The energy moves through your body, and you can feel it almost like an electrical current. It has different sensation to it.

    Me: Okay. Now, this blog member goes on to ask another question. This may be early on when you didn’t know how to create tastes and sensations and textures in your mouth right after your transition, Erik. Are you saying you miss having a full gut or stomach, because the sensation of, well, almost pain from a full gut can’t be experienced there? He or she says, “I’m confused. I only ask, because I love food, especially a double-double animal style burger from In and Out!”

    Jamie belly laughs.

    Me: But Erik, you can create that sensation of a full stomach, right? You can create any sensation you want, even belly pain.

    Erik: Hell, yeah.  

    Me: So, there are tastes there in Heaven just like there’s colors in Heaven that do not exist here on Earth.

    Erik: Yes.

    Me: Okay. I’d hate to think that the food in Heaven is not as tasty as it is here! That’s what I told the blog member. I said you can create any taste you want. And with that you can add the texture, the smell, the visual, the associated emotions and memories, and you can feel it throughout your entire energetic body.

    Erik: Yay, Mom. You remember me telling you that before!

    Me: Oh, really? We’ve already talked about what I just said?

    Erik: That taste here has many layers. Yep. And the spirit in your energy field can experience it, too. Any spirit right next to you, I mean.

    Me: Without those pesky calories.

    I have a quick question: Do any of you know of a good past life regressionist somewhere in or near Houston? It can be anywhere in Texas if need be.

    Before we close, I’d like to share this Abraham/Hicks YouTube entitled “From Grief to Joy.” If you still mourn the loss of a loved one, it’s worth watching. I did and ordered the DVD on Amazon afterwards.This is just an excerpt.

    FROM GRIEF TO JOY

    Thanks so much for all your support for the 2013 Bloggies, guys. It really means a lot. Muuaaaah!

    Identity Crisis

    Posted in: Afterlife, Channeling, Past lives

    I had a really hard time coming up with a title for this post. It was between “Identity Crisis”, “Afterlife Work” (which sounded too laborious), or “Hot Latinos” (which would get me a lot of hits from porn-seekers but might ruffle my husband’s feathers.) In the end, the choice was obvious.

    Me: Hi Erik! What up, home slice?

    Erik: A lot!

    Me: I know!

    Jamie: Poor Erik has been keeping up with me. He has this way, he’ll just, like yesterday, he looked at me when that guy, Tom, the husband, when he said goodbye, and he just exploded into tears—

    (She’s referring and incident during one of the recent small group channeling conference calls when she began crying in response to Tom’s tears.)

    Me: Oh, Yeah.

    Jamie: Erik got up in my face, and he was snapping his fingers, and he was like, “Come on, Jamie. Lets go. Let it go.” And I was like, ‘I’m trying to let it go, Erik. I’m trying. And I couldn’t talk. I was like, ‘Oh, shit!’

    Me: Aw, he’s your boy. He’s got your back.

    (Poignant pause)

    Me: Okay, when I die, what will my role be in the afterlife? We know what your role is, but…

    Erik (laughing): Well, that’d be pretty bossy for me to just tell you what you’re going to do!

    Me: Well, what do you think? I mean, it’s going on right now given the fact that past, present and future are occurring simultaneously so, I’m there as we speak.

    Erik: Oh, I think you’re going to help out quite a bit.

    God, I hope I can take a little vacation, first.

    Erik: You know the community will still keep—

    Jamie (with surprised): Oh wow! That long? Yeah, he says the community will keep going.

    Me: Jamie, you’re going to have to take over when I go.

    Jamie laughs.

    Me: Good luck! You can do something. Transform it, write your books and bring them to the attention to the CE audience. Get your kids involved. Something. Maybe one of your kids will want to take over.

    Jamie (giggling): That’d be awesome if Luka could take over!

    Me: Yeah, oh my god. How cool!

    Erik Yeah, so when you’re here, it’s more like you’re going to be helping me and the community, also—

    Jamie (to someone in her office): One sec. You see it, right?

    (Pause)

    Jamie (singing in rhyme): HerMAN the maintenance MAN.

    I laugh at her silliness.

    Jamie (in a very hushed and naughty tone): He’s so cute!

    Me: Jamie, you’re so bad!

    Jamie: Latino.

    Me: I love Cesar Milan. He’s on my cutie list with Antonio Banderas. Marco Rubio’s adorable, too. I just wanna pinch his little baby cheeks.

    Jamie: Oh, I don’t even know who that is. I’ll have to find out.

    Me (whispering): Adorable.

    Poor Erik. He’s so marginalized. I can see him rolling his eyes in disgust, tapping his foot.

    Erik: Ahem. So, mostly, you’re going to choose to help people. You know, you’re going to kind of take the role of motherhood to all.

    Jamie: He’s laughing really hard!

    Me:  Being free of the body and getting your memory back of all your past lives—what’s it like? Can you suddenly become anyone you wish? Little girl or man or alien? How does this affect your sense of identity? Can we tap into that now?

    Erik: Yes, yes, yes and yes.

    Me: How much is possible, and how would we do it?

    Erik: Anything is possible, and you do it through thought. Thought is the manifestation. You want to sit in the chair in the other room? You get up and sit in the chair in the other room. You want to be a little girl? You get up and you go be a little girl. You can present yourself however you want. You’re still going to be you.

    Me: Mm hm.

    Erik: And you don’t lose your identity. You don’t become confusing and overwhelming about your identity. It’s not like, you know, being fucked up in the head when you’re human. It’s all of a sudden you get this awareness of exactly who you are. It’s not like you’re overwhelmed and you’re  losing it. It’s all of a sudden like, “Fuck! Wow!”

    Me: So, it’s not like, “Who am I? Who am I?”

    Erik: No, it’s like, “Oh my God. Clarity strikes again.”

    Me: So, you still remember who you were in each, you know—

    Erik: Life?

    Me: Yeah. You still remember the identity you had from each life?

    Erik: Yeah, yeah.

    Me: Oh, good. So, you remember when you were the captain fighting against Vlad the Impaler and when you were Erik, my son and all that stuff?

    Erik: Yup.

    Me: Okay, good. Anything more on that?

    Erik: No. That’s really how it is. A lot of concepts don’t translate very well.

    Me: Okay. Tell me about that.

    (Stark silence. I guess that means time to go on.)

    How Spirits Communicate

    Posted in: Afterlife, Channeling, Communication from the dead

    Every wonder how Uncle Bob talks to Aunt Mary over there? Wonder no longer, thanks to Erik!

    Me: How do spirits like you communicate? Describe in terms of, um, what we do, what symbols do we, uh, what in the world am I saying here? I just have absolutely no idea! I mean, I know there’s telepathy, I mean, do you communicate in chunks of ideas, in symbols? Do you use linear language like we do? What is it? How do you communicate over there?

    Jamie (laughing): Erik’s looking at me and saying, “What’s wrong with this person? Do they have diarrhea?

    Me (firmly): No, Erik, it’s my question, so stop it right now, young man.

    We all laugh.

    Me: I can take a swig of Kaopectate if that helps.

    Jamie: Oh my god, he’s cracking up.

    Me: I’ll even share it with you, Erik. Sometimes you need it, too, Mister Oral Diarrhea. But seriously, how do you communicate with each other. Not with me, but with each other.

    Erik: We don’t even open our mouths. We don’t even have to stand next to each other. It’s not even called telepathy, because it’s not a brain-to-brain activity. Think of it more as how a computer system communicates, you know, through the air, bouncing off the satellite dish and then to its directed source. (I thought he meant “target” but he clears this up later.) Think of it more mathematically, that my energetic body, my spirit, once it is thinking or feeling a concept, is being immediately directed to the source of what I’m thinking about or feeling about, and that source is experiencing it simultaneously, which, by the way is no new bullshit, because it’s exactly how the human body works. It’s just on different vibrational levels, but it’s exactly how the human body works, and it’s exactly how telepathy kind of goes.

    Me: And instead of beaming up to the source, we’re beaming up to the brain? Is that what you’re saying?

    Erik: Yes. Yeah. Yeah.

    Me: Okay.

    Erik: Brain to brain activity. But there’s no satellite dish for us to bounce off of. It bounces off pure source energy. God energy. Life force energy. That’s really what’s carrying or motivating, giving motion to how we communicate. We don’t have to call someone and set up a meeting. There’s no withholding here. I can’t have a thought about you and you not know about it. We’re all open books. And even if I had a thought that you would think or you would normally judge as not being good about you, you would still experience it, but you would have no desire to judge me for it. That’s a human quality—the desire to judge and measure and shred things apart.

    Me: Yes, unfortunately.

    Erik: You would just know that that was my truth, and that’s where I was coming from. You wouldn’t have this dire need to react emotionally with instantaneous love or disapproval or whatever. It just is, and that freedom of having no judgment or, you know, instant reaction—that’s where all of this compassionate—

    (Pause)

    Jamie: He’s looking for a word.

    Erik: Amazing space that I exist in right now.

    Jamie (chuckling): He looks so unsatisfied that he just used the word “amazing!”

    Me: Aw!

    Erik: That’s why the people who have those near death experiences, you know, they don’t wanna come back.

    Me: Yeah.

    Erik: Even if it means leaving the love of their life behind or their daughter depends on them, they don’t wanna come back. They know it’s gonna be okay. I don’t know if I explained that right. I fucked up.

    Me: Aw, you did fine, Erik. But when you communicate, what is it in as it goes to the satellite dish, so to speak? Does it come in words, chunks of ideas, symbols?

    Erik: No, it’s like getting visual and emotional and verbage all at once.

    Me: Hm. Jesus. Confusing. That’s called multitasking.

    Erik: Nah, it’s actually a really clear way, cuz you get the exact emotion that’s behind it. You don’t have to guess like you do when you read an email. You get to see what the person is creating or thinking, you know, so there’s more detail in the visual than there is in just the description in words, and then you get the verbage that goes with it.

    (Okay, I think “verbage” is a new word Erik created. That’s okay. We understand what he means, right?)

    Erik: And it’s not really like English, you know. It’s not like Spanish. It’s a distinct language, but it’s not like I can describe that I am totally speaking English. It’s just like this core language that you understand, and that’s what you communicate in. Even with alien forces, you know, other nations that come, we’re able to communicate. We don’t need a translator to come here.

    Me: Okay, so are you saying that they’re words?

    Erik: Yeah. They’re words.

    Just a reminder everyone. Jamie and Erik have their national radio debut TODAY! The CE family can stream the show live directly from www.TransformationTalkRadio.com  3pm/PST, 4pm/MST, 5pm/CST and 6pm/EST. Don’t miss it!

    Jamie Trance Channeling Grace

    Posted in: Channeling, Channeling Erik Blog, Jamie Butler, Proof in the spirit world, Proof of the Afterlife, Psychic medium, Spirits visiting as insects

    Before we begin today’s exciting topic, I want to share a couple of stories. The other day I was sitting outside with my sister, Laura, reminiscing about our mother who died this past summer. A few months ago, blog member and medium, Robert, told us that she would come to visit us as a butterfly. Sure enough, along came one with rather tattered wings flying around my head. It settled on the chair next to me and sat there for a long, long time. Even when I touched it and cupped it in my hand, it didn’t fly away. Then after several minutes it circled around my head and came to rest on my shoulder. We told her we loved her, thanked her for her company, and she flew away. What a wonderful visit that was. Butterflies that appear after death do have symbolism: They are a message that indeed there is life after death. I find this very comforting, because this means that my mother, an former atheist, was trying to communicate to us that she was wrong (and probably very happily so.)

    Here’s another amazing story. My son-in-law has had persistent groin pain for the past 5 years. We thought it might be a hernia but of course, being the modest man that he is, he refused all offers to check from the plethora of doctors in our family. Months go by. Then Friday I ask Erik what the cause of his pain is and he told me it was a problem with the gracilis muscle where it inserts into the pelvis. Really? Really? How in the hell would Erik know about this thin little muscle? I venture to say most physicians don’t know about it. Erik also recommended he go to someone who does myofascial release work and he did just that the next day. The diagnosis was confirmed and the result of his initial treatment was amazing. Dr. Erik. Jack of all trades. No malpractice insurance required.

    I also would like to make a request. Those of you who attended the San Diego conference, if you haven’t already done so, please write a testimonial and email it to me (emedhus@gmail.com). Don’t worry. It doesn’t have to be a novel. I also would love those of you who have participated in the grieving parents call to share their feedback as well, because I truly think it’s healing to communicate with deceased sons and daughters. Perhaps your words would be just the encouragement they’d need to take that leap of faith.

    Today I have something very special for you. Cindy and Kent (www.eclecticverve.org), two special attendees from the San Diego event, recorded the entire weekend. This recording, as you will soon see, has forever changed my life and for that I am forever grateful to them. In the recording, Jamie trance channeling spirit, Grace, who died over 100 years ago. Her “job” is to guide other spirits in designing their life plan before reincarnating, and during the San Diego event, most of us asked her just what we are here to do. In order for you to see how clearly different Jamie’s voice is from Grace’s, I’d like you to listen to Jamie channeling Jack the Ripper for a few minutes. Even if you’ve already listened to this YouTube in the past, refreshing your memory is crucial here.

    http://youtu.be/e9SdiMjfJLs

    Now listen to Jamie’s voice as she trance channels Grace (who also likes to be called Gracie). Not only is her British accent impeccable, the voice is that of a more matronly woman rather than Jamie’s  high-pitched girlie voice. (Erik often complains about that.)

    Since this is not a video, I also need to point out that midway through the recording my sister, Laura, and I break down when Gracie describes us as survivors who have chosen a life full of hardship. At that point she and I fall into each other’s arms and begin to sob. We have had lives that have been full of more grief, more tragedy and more suffering than most people know. Especially Laura. I’ve never shared the particulars with any of you. Then, on Gracie’s cue, the entire room of my newfound friends came to give us hugs. A giant ball of hugs. Words cannot possibly express the feelings coursing through that room and through my heart. Please click on the link below so that the mp3 will download to your desktop. Listen and be forever changed.

    http://www.mediafire.com/?zq0871a7hmdznts

    This conversation with Gracie had another effect. It removed that 1% doubt that that my lifelong skepticism created. Gone forever. Even the seemly indisputable pranks and physical manifestations were not capable of erasing that tiny, nagging bit of uncertainty. Jamie is clearly trance channeling an entity from the spirit world. That means she’s really trance channeling Erik. Those hugs are real. Erik is alive. Alive. You’re deceased loved ones are alive also. They’re not gone forever. They’re not. I still cry with joy, and I want you to as well.

    Scientist Shows What Happens to the Soul After Death

    Posted in: Proof of the Afterlife, Quantum Physics of the Soul, The Soul

    Given the state of the Northeast Coast after the destruction Hurricane Sandy left in her wake, today’s radio show will likely be postponed since the producers are in New York City. I’ll keep you abreast of the situation. Meanwhile, I hope all of you will continue to send your prayers and light to that devastated area.
    As far as the Yahoo contest is concerned, voting has closed, and we anxiously await the final results. Of course the chances are slim. For example, some of the nominees have huge congregations backing them up. Nevertheless, I’m just so grateful for the outpouring of love and effort from all of you, and I’m tickled pink for even having been nominated at all!
    And now, our own, Betty Daniel, shared this Huffpo article. I thought it was so fascinating that I couldn’t help but jump Erik’s queue of wisdom and post it. Sorry Erik. Tomorrow I plan to post some interesting information about Mother Earth.

    Scientist Shows What Happens To ‘Soul’ After Death

    In a video that recently aired on “Through the Wormhole” narrated by Morgan Freeman on the TV channel Science, Dr. Hameroff claims, “I believe that consciousness, or its immediate precursor proto-consciousness, has been in the universe all along, perhaps from the Big Bang.”

    Understanding where consciousness comes from could solve mysteries such as what happens to the “soul” during near-death experiences, or when a person dies.

    Dr. Hameroff goes on to share hypothetical scenarios derived from the Orch-OR (orchestrated objective reduction) theory of consciousness that he and Roger Penrose, mathematician and physicist, proposed in 1996. According to the theory, consciousness is derived from microtubules within brain cells (neurons) which are sites of quantum processing.

    But what exactly is consciousness, where does it come from and can it be scientifically proven? Dr. Stuart Hameroff, MD, is Professor Emeritus at the Departments of Anesthesiology and Psychology and the Director of the Center of Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona and much of his research over the past few decades has been in the field of quantum mechanics, dedicated to studying consciousness.

    According to Dr. Hameroff, in a near-death experience, when the heart stops beating, the blood stops flowing, and the microtubules lose their quantum state, the quantum information in the microtubules isn’t destroyed. It’s distributed to the universe at large, and if the patient is revived, the quantum information can go back to the microtubules. In this event, the patient says they had something like a near-death experience, i.e. they saw white light or a tunnel or floated out of their body. In the event that the patient is not revived, “it’s possible that the quantum information can can exist outside the body, perhaps indefinitely, as a soul,” he said.

    The Orch-OR theory of consciousness remains controversial in the scientific community. Many scientists and physicists have challenged it, including MIT physicist Max Tegmark, who wrote a paper in 2000 that was widely cited.

    Still, Dr. Hameroff believes that “nobody has landed a serious blow to the theory. It’s very viable.”

    This post is one we should definitely share on Facebook and other social venues!

    Channeling Gautama Buddha, Part Five

    Posted in: Afterlife, Buddha, Buddhism, Channeling, Heaven, Jamie Butler, Psychic medium, Reincarnation, Spiritual enlightenment

    Blog member, Amber, brought to my attention that the “Browse the Archives” button wasn’t working! I checked my plugins and found that and other ones were deactivated for some reason. These included the comment and socializer buttons. So, newbies, you can search the archives two ways: Use the “Browse the Archives” button or the “Start with the Very First Post” one. And for all of the CE family, I hope you use all of the socializer buttons to spread the word. I have Twitter, Facebook, Digg, Stumble Upon and many others on each post, but if you want to suggest others, I can certainly include them. It’s so important to reach out to others, and I’m sure Buddha will agree. Right Buddha?

    Me: Have you reincarnated already, or do you plan to? Are you on, I mean, in terms of earthly time are you here?

    Buddha: I am in everyone.

    Jamie chuckles.

    Me (chuckling): Oh, that’s amazing!

    Jamie: But I know what you’re talking about. We’re talking about a specific life. Is he in one body, right now, a character, a personality and so on, and he says no.

    Me: Okay. Now, tell us about your afterlife and the work you do there.

    Buddha: I am continuing my teaching.

    (Long pause as Jamie listens, then looks at me, and shakes her head in disbelief before saying the following:)

    Jamie: He’s continuing his teaching, and he kind of quietly told me that he reads the newspaper, and I just don’t even know what to make of that.

    Me (laughing): Which newspaper do you read?

    Buddha: All of them.

    Me: All of them! I don’t suppose it’s the sports section, is it?

    Buddha: No.

    Me: I didn’t think so. So, what do you think about the state of humanity now?

    Buddha: Many people are choosing to drown themselves.

    (Long pause)

    Jamie (to Buddha): Um, say it again.

    Buddha: When the individual is ready in seeking guidance, I will be there, but I neither find their enlightenment nor their struggle good nor bad.

    (Pause)

    Jamie (to Buddha): Why are you laughing?

    Jamie burst out laughing!

    Jamie: I stopped breathing! He told me I was holding my breath.

    Me: Oh!

    Jamie (trying to collect herself to proceed): Okay. Yes.

    Me: Not a good idea, Jamie.

    Jamie: No, it’s not, but it’s intriguing that he, not only is he noticing that I’m holding my breath, he’ll say something about it like asking me to breathe, asking me to not be nervous, asking me to relax—

    Me: Aw.

    Jamie: –asking me to keep it, like we’re just hanging out and talking. He told me to reach out my hand. He held my hand for a little bit. He’s just nurturing in a very average, very calm way, and it’s—it’s nice.

    Me: Oh!

    Jamie: Lost my thought.

    I giggle.

    Jamie: Humanity. And I’m breathing. (She takes a deep breath as evidence.)

    (Pause)

    Jamie (to Buddha): You go!

    Jamie (laughing): It’s kind of, I don’t know, what I would imagine, I’ve never hung out with the Dalai Lama, but it’s what I’d imagine that would be. You wanna put him on a pedestal, but then when you hang out with him, you find out that he’s an average person with an extraordinary way of seeing life.

    Me: I think you just found yourself a new BFF! (“Best friends forever” for those not in the “know”.)

    Jamie: I would love, god, oh my god!

    I chuckle with delight at Jamie’s Buddha-crush.

    Jamie: I might just start studying Buddhism. I haven’t done it.

    Me: Yeah! Don’t say “might” right in front of him! Say, “You will”!

    Jamie (looking embarrassed, then laughing): He doesn’t take offense by it; are you kidding?

    Buddha: I’m hoping that through this interview that whoever is watching or listening will find it intriguing enough to research the teachings and the concepts that I presented so long ago and see how timeless they are they might find it valuable, and they might learn it for themselves.

    Jamie: He does talks to anyone, everyone. He’s very obtainable, available—

    Me: Approachable.

    Jamie: Approachable, right. He won’t let you put him on a pedestal. He just won’t—it—there’s just no space for that. He won’t let it happen.

    Me: Aw, that’s nice.

    Jamie: It’s so freaking cool!

    Me: I think you’re star struck!

    Jamie: I’m a little bit, yeah.

    Me: Anything else on that, or do I go on to the next question?

    Jamie (with a tittering laugh): I have no idea. I think we should go on, because I just lost it.

    Me: Yes, you just lost it. Do you have any messages or advice for us, Buddha?

    (Long pause)

    Buddha: It’s beautiful to be human. You do not know how long this life is offered to you. Why wait to find eternal joy? Do not place external materialistic goals before the practice of disciplining the mind, before dharma, before protection of the mind. Choose to have that joy and enlightenment now. This is the message that I want to share with anyone who comes across my path. Your race, within the term “human race”, is not external. There is no start nor finish. The value is in the quality of the joy that you will allow yourself to experience. Again, as the mind believes, so the body becomes. And when the mind finds joy, it will follow you like a shadow that will never leave. This is the ultimate presence of human life. This is what we all can obtain.

    Me: Wow. Well, it’s kind of hard to follow that with any other questions, but I must I suppose. All right. 

    to be continued…

    Have a great weekend guys! (And click those socializer buttons!!)

    Can You Really Be a Pompous Ass in Heaven, Too?

    Posted in: After Death Communication, Afterlife, Bereaved, Buddhism, Channeling, Communication from the dead, Death of a Child, Grief, Grieving, Heaven, Jamie Butler

    Before we begin this typical Erik topic, I’d like to make a few announcements:

    1) I’m very excited about the response to the San Diego event. If anyone has any questions, please ask them in the comment thread or email me at emedhus@gmail.com. I know one reader asked about bringing children along. I’m not sure about the answer to that, but I bet there are age restrictions. I can forward Jamie’s assistant if you all want to email me your specific situation. Another reader asked how many would be in attendance. All I really know is that Jamie can’t take more than thirty. The main thing: It’s going to be a fun and life-changing experience. That’s the adjective that everyone seems to use after these events.

    2) I’m almost finished transcribing the Buddha interview. Wow, how amazing it is. As soon as we interview a religious figure from one more faith, we’ll be able to make public all the YouTubes: Jesus, Moses, Buddha, etc. Words just don’t do them justice.

    3) I spoke with Jamie today about the grieving parents session. She wants to keep the groups no larger than six or seven because she feels like more time is needed for parents to communicate with their sons and daughters. It’s so intimate and emotional. She’s also considering hosting such sessions every couple of weeks if there’s enough interest. Here are some questions you might consider asking:

    a) Are you happy?

    b) Who was there when you passed?

    c) Do you have any messages for me, your siblings, girlfriend/boyfriend, etc.?

    d) Was it your destiny to dies when and how you did? If so, why?

    e) Was your death painful?

    f) Did we have some spiritual contract and was if completed/honored?

    g) Was there anything I could have done?

    h) How can I best communicate with you?

    i) How can I help you?

    j) Have you been trying to communicate with me? If so, how?

    k) Did you like your memorial service? What did you like about it?

    l) Why did you do it? (if the death was by suicide)

    m) Did we share a past life that most influenced the one we had this last life?

    n) Was I a good mother/father?

    o) Do you have a life’s work there?

    p) Who are you with? Who do you hang out with?

    q) Can you describe your afterlife?

    r) Do you have a girlfriend/boyfriend?

    s) What do you do for fun there?

    t) When I grieve, is it sometimes because you are nearby?

    I could go on and on. If I think of any other questions, I’ll let you know. If you think of questions, please feel free to make comments, because it will help those parents who grieve their loss. Now, let’s see what Erik has to say today. This came from a two-part question.

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

    Me: Erik, your individuality is very much intact in the afterlife as is everyone we’ve interviewed. If you were to reincarnate back to the Earth as another person or individual, what happens to the current individuality? Is it replaced by your new, reincarnated identity?

    Erik (in a smart ass, sugary tone): Tell the kind reader—

    Jamie and I laugh hard.

    Erik: Tell the kind reader—

    Jamie: Oh, Erik! He’s being silly, okay? So—

    Erik: —that my personality as Channeling Erik has become so big that no matter if I reincarnate or not, it won’t trump the mark of this personality that has been created.

    Me: God, Erik! You sure are too big for your breeches, Mister Man! Maybe you need to be taken down a notch or two!

    Jamie: That’s definitely how it sounds, how he’s coming out with it.

    Erik: Think about it. We’ve had these other lifetimes, so those personalities, they’re not dead. Let’s just remember for a second –TIME IS NOT LINEAR.

    Me: Right, right.

    Erik: If time were linear, we truly would have an ending to what was created.

    Me: Um hm.

    Erik: But it’s not. Just because our souls divide as we have these lifetimes and these occurrences, right? That doesn’t mean that we are lesser than or that we’re getting smaller than our existence used to be. If I reincarnate, which has already been done, I already have future lives—if we’re looking at time as linear—and look, I’m still here.

    Me: Okay.

    Erik: I mean, it’s already happened! I’m still here!

    Me: Are you reincarnated on Earth right now in terms of our linear existence on this plane—in our lifetime?

    Erik: No, it won’t be in your lifetime.

    Me: Okay, because if you were I’d try to track you down!

    Erik: Punch it up!

    (I have no idea what that means.)

    We all laugh.

    Me: When we pass over to the afterlife, are we able to interact with the souls and spirits of the various individuals we’ve been in the past?

    Erik: Yes.

    Me: Okay. Amber wants to ask you this question, Erik: “My question for Erik would involve himself. He seems to have so very, very quickly freed himself up to do the sterling work”—I hope this doesn’t make you, you know, even more pompous than you already are! Are you pompous now, Erik, or are you still the humble Erik that I’ve always known?

    Erik (laughing): No, no, no, no! I’m still humble. I just play the role of being pompous.

    Jamie giggles.

    Me: Okay, good, good. Okay let’s see, “To do the sterling work for humanity and want to help his mom with her grief so that she can share this work with him. So, I just don’t know how it is. My dad went over two years ago and said that he was in the spirit world learning. I guess that someone like him, who didn’t believe in the afterlife, adjustment would be harder than for someone who did.” So, I guess she wants to know why you so quickly evolved to be this person doing all of this humanitarian work, and other people who have passed over haven’t evolved to that degree. I guess—

    Erik: It was my purpose!

    Me: Okay, so it was your purpose; other people have different purposes.

    Erik: It was totally my path and my purpose, yeah. With some people, their path is a little more personal.

    Me: Okay.

    Erik: And with mine, it wasn’t. I didn’t want to be as quiet as when I was on Earth.

    Me: Oh gosh, you were quiet.

    (This is so true. While he was “alive”, Erik was so quiet, so under the radar and, well, invisible, really.)

    Me: And of course there are probably countless others who are doing work on a grander scale like you, Erik.

    Erik: Sure! Of course.

    Me: Anything else on that?

    Erik: I’m not a pompous asshole.

    Me: Well that’s good to hear, Sweetie. I can’t imagine you being so, because you never ever were.

    Can I Get an Amen?

    Posted in: Afterlife, Channeling, Jamie Butler, Organized Religion, Prayer, Psychic medium, Religion, Spiritual Healing, The Physics of Thought, Universe

    It looks like a lot of people are signing up for the San Diego Event! I’m so excited to meet you guys and put a face to all of these names! This is such a well-timed pick-me-up for the week as Erik’s birthday approaches Friday. He would have been (or will be?) 23 on that day. The time flies but the tears still flow. Nevertheless, I continue to pray that the pain will continue to lessen as it has…so slowly though.

    On that subject, prayer, Erik has much to say.

    Me: Here’s another blog member question: “A topic I’m interested in is prayer. What is prayer? Does prayer help others and us and if so, how?”

    Erik: Wow, prayer is amazing. They’re like affirmations and extending intents. Your words have power, and when you call out your words, they act kind of like a pebble in the water. It ripples out and expands over. So, if you’re stating a prayer, and you’re directing it to the universe—that’s kind of what it is, dropping a pebble in the water, the universe. If you have a god that you believe in and you’re directing to that god, it goes always to Higher Source no matter what your religious beliefs are. It goes up to the Higher Source that cares for us and loves us all without judgment. And what your putting out and what you’re asking for often lays out a—

    Jamie (to Erik): What’s that word? What are you saying, Erik?

    (Pause)

    Jamie (to Erik): Not manipulation.

    (Pause)

    Erik: Manifestation!

    Jamie (to Erik): You should talk clearer. Don’t mumble!

    Jamie and I laugh. I remember Erik could mumble from time to time.

    Erik: Ahem. It lays out a manifestation pattern that can be fulfilled. When energy comes back to you, it’ll manifest in the pattern you’re asking for.

    Me: Hm.

    Erik: So, prayer is extremely powerful. Somewhere along the line, it got a bad rap, you know, that it you pray, you’re stupid or a religious freak. That’s really, really sad. It should not be that way. I mean, if you don’t like the term, “prayer,” change it to something else! Just say, “I just want to say a little something good.”

    Me: Or you can call it affirmation.

    Erik: Yeah, say affirmation, but energetically it goes out into the universe, and it is in return what you get back.

    Me: So, it’s thought creates reality, basically.

    Erik: Yeah.

    Me: It’s almost like a, um, it’s physics, basically.

    Erik: Yes. Ding!

    Me: I guess the ties to organized religion are why the word prayer left a bad taste in some people’s mouths.

    Jamie (giggling): Erik’s asking if I could get him a little bell he could hit, “Bing” like “You are correct.” He started doing that game show host thing during the conference call yesterday.

    Me: Uh huh.

    Jamie: That game show voice. It’s really funny. “And next we have…”

    I laugh.

    Jamie: So, if we had a bell I think it’d be a great sound effect.

    Me: Yeah, really! So, do we have to pray for people on the Other Side?

    Erik: No, you don’t have to, but just like before when we were talking about a spirit that has negative emotions—

    Me: Yeah. 

    Erik: They create it for themselves, and it’s often because of regrets and things they haven’t finished, and most of the time they’ll hold onto it or wait until the other person passes away so they can have communication and resolve it.

    Me: Um hm.

    Erik: But if they find a psychic or a medium they trust, the negative emotions can be resolved beforehand. But if you pray to loved ones here, you can say things like, “I forgive you,” “I love you no matter what,” “Let’s put this behind us.” You can put things like that in your prayer. That will help the spirit feel better and let go and find joy.

    Me: Well, doesn’t the healing they get on the Other Side help too?

    Erik: Oh, absolutely, but, you know, you can’t ever help somebody if they don’t want to help themselves.

    Me: Well, that’s true; that’s true.

    Erik: That still goes for dead people.

    Told You So, You Little Motherf&%$ker!

    Posted in: Channeling, Death of a Parent, Heaven

    OMG, the Buddha interview was AWESOME!! I can’t wait to share it, but Jamie feels more comfortable making all of these religious figure interview YouTube videos public when we have four faiths covered. Unfortunately, given the recent violence in the Middle East, Muhammed will not be one such religious figure, so we were thinking about Gandhi as our next one. What do you think? Until then, you might want to think about making a list of questions for him.

    Also, anyone interested in putting their name on the channeling conference call for grieving parents, email me at emedhus@gmail.com. All three freebie slots have been filled. Again, thanks, TP, for your generous heart.

    The information for San Diego is forthcoming. Apparently there were some delays in getting the proper contracts from the hotels, yada, yada, yada.

    Anyhoo, sorry this post is sort of short, but I hope you enjoy it anyway.

    Me: When we’re in Heaven, are we going to look at our kids who are left behind and are having a hard time with our passing, and will we weep and miss them because we can’t help them as mothers or fathers want to do?

    Erik: No, you’ll smile and go, “Told you so, you little motherfucker!”

    Me: Erik! Erik!

    Jamie and I laugh. I know Erik is giving us a little comic relief, but still I worry how the blog members are going to take this! No telling what’s going to come out of that boy’s mouth.

    Jamie: He’s got one hand on his hip and he’s pointing and wagging his finger like down at Earth, you know, like from a cloud, “You silly little motherfucker.”

    We both giggle.

    Me: Told you so, what, Erik? “Told you so you were going to be the death of me?”

    Jamie laughs.

    Erik: Yeah! Nah, you see when you look down and you see your children and they’re having a hard time, you’re not looking at it from human eyes anymore. That’s the catch. Now if you were human and you were in another room and you were watching your child struggle and make those mistakes and you knew you could help, then yes, you would have suffering for yourself and you can’t do anything. Your hands are tied. When you pass over and you’re watching your child go through this, you have this sense of support no matter how much struggle or negativity is going on. But you have to remember when we’re here, there’s not that scale of, “Oh, that’s so horrible for them.” That positive and negative really doesn’t exist. It’s more about, “What’s the lesson? How’s their emotional status? Where are they coming from?” It’s not about “This is terrible.”

    Me: Yeah.

    Erik: And so you still smile and love your children no matter what earthly situations they find themselves in, and you don’t feel like your hands are tied. There are so many ways we can intervene and love and help.

    Me: Okay.

    Erik: But we can’t help to the point of enabling them.

    Me: Oh, no. Of course not. People have to go through their pain and reap the lessons in that. Unfortunately been there, done that.

    Erik: Yeah. Go collect your lessons!
