    I know you all have been waiting for this one! Sorry it gets off to a slow start. Maybe Erik had trouble finding her.

    Me: I guess we can go on to the celebrities, Erik.

    Jamie (laughing): He saying he wants to do good-looking people again.

    Me: Yeah, well, you want to see it Whitney Houston is ready. You want to do that?

    Jamie (to Erik):Oh yeah.  Go see if she’s here now.

    (Pause)

    Jamie: Wow, he left.

    Me:  Oh, okay. So there’s hope! The last several times he immediately said she wasn’t ready.

    Jamie (Whispering) Maybe today is her day.

    Me: Yeah!

    (Long pause)

    Me: She had an incredible voice. Did you like her voice?

    Jamie: I did! I actually never had any of her CDs. .

    Me: I loved her in The Bodyguard!

    Jamie: Was that in Texas?

    (At this point, I’m wondering why Erik is taking such a long time. This in so uncharacteristic!)

    Me: I don’t know! I have no idea.

    Jamie (to Whitney): Hi!

    Me (Whispering): All right! Yes!

    Jamie: She’s really tall.

    Me: Hello Whitney.

    (Pause)

    Jamie: Hold on for a second. He’s talking to her.

    Me: Okay. Maybe he’s explaining what’s going on.

    Jaime: Yes. Yeah, He’s explaining what’s happening. She’s really nice.

    Me: Aw.

    Jaime: She looks really grounded. Um, you know, I kinda feel like the light went out of her eyes and kind of weirdness for the last decade.

    Me (sadly)

    Jamie: She says, “Okay.”

    Me: First of all, I’d like to say that I hope yiou know from you funeral and even before that how loved you are.

    Whitney: Thank you  very much.

    Me: You do realize that, right?

    Whitney: It is a work in progress for me still.

    Me: Well, I just have a few questions for you. First, what was your spiritual mission this lifetime, and what were you here to learn and to teach?

    Whitney: I feel—

    Jamie (giggling): God, I just made eye contact with her, and it threw me off.

    I laugh.

    Jamie (to herself): Don’t look at her!

    Whitney: I feel like I was here to give a voice for other people. Other people’s lyrics always has to do with things I believed in.  I never thought they were my words even though I was singing them, and I was attached to them. It felt much bigger than who I was.

    Me: Mm. So were you here to learn anything?

    Jamie: She puts her hands up. She’s very thin. And she says, “music.”

    Whitney: “Music is love.” We’re meant to learn love, and getting deeper—

    Jamie: Yeah, I can’t even look at her and listen for some reason.

    Whitney: Getting deeper into love, I learned that it was not how not to give my power away.

    Me: Gosh, you sure did that, too. Did you want to learn how to love to love—to give love, receive love or both?

    Whitney: I feel like I knew how to give it, but I did not know how to receive it, and I didn’t know how to identify what a healthy love is.

    Me: Mm. Okay.

    Whitney: I know now, though. A healthy love is when you can become yourself in every facet and every way in every desire, and the person and people around you embrace you for that rather than tear you down for it.

    Me: So, people should love you for who and what you are. That’s just plain old unconditional love.

    Whitney: Yes.

    Me: Now, did you already talk about what you were here to teach.

    Whitney: No.

    Me: Okay, so what were you here to teach?

    Whitney: I don’t consider myself a teacher. I consider myself—

    Jamie (to Whitney): Describe it again. I’m sorry. (Pause) By example?

    Whitney: I don’t consider myself a teacher, but I feel like a taught by example just by living in the chaos around her. So, people could decide what they could like or dislike.

    Me: Oh, so you were here to teach what how to be and not to be.

    Whitney: Correct.

    Me: Okay. Do you think you accomplished all you came here to do in large measure?

    Whitney: No, if I could have stayed healthy, I feel like I could have had followed through, but I was so tired.

    Me (sadly): Oh yeah. Was this one of your exit points?

    Whitney: Yes.

    Me: To get you out before things got more difficult?

    Whitney: Yes. I—

    Jamie: I don’t know why. Sometimes she’s kinda hard for me to hear.

    Me: Yeah.

    Whitney: I’m comforted that so many people thought I was turning myself around.

    Me: Yeah.

    Whitney: But it was just another rhythm in my pattern. I would come up for air and then crash.

    I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Now, enjoy the fourth and final part of Leonardo’s interview!

    Me: I see. Can you tell me what sort of things you like to do in your afterlife?

    Leonardo: Throughout all of my lives, I will remain the inventor.

    Me: Are you a muse to different inventors here?

    Leonardo: Yes, but I’m especially disappointed with the ones who don’t get the help they need.

    Me: Aw. Were you a muse for Steve Jobs?

    Leonardo: Yes.

    Me: I hope you’re friends there now

    Leonardo: Yes, we are.

    Me: Good. What do you think about the state of humanity now?

    Leonardo: I think it’s sick with mental disease.

    Me: Insanity. Yes.

    Jamie: The image he’s showing me is—it’s like if you could take society and then take the pillars of what society is rested on like government, education of our children, the support for the elderly, you know, these pillars. The one he shows that’s just rotten and has this fungus on it is the education.

    Me: Oh, yeah. That’s the root. That’s the root. Sometimes I wonder if we need to unschool our children and teach them how to learn on their own. I wonder if we just spoon feed them crap—indoctrination.

    Leonardo: Yes!

    Me: Let them find knowledge on their own with a little guidance and encouragement. That’s what you did, Leonardo! You didn’t fare too badly!

    Leonardo: Yes! And my biggest invention will involve this: the change in the school system throughout the world.

    Me: Exactly. Because you taught yourself. Kids need to learn how to learn. Knowledge must be interest or student driven. We need to foster a love for knowledge or learning. And there should NEVER be any grades. I’m totally against grades.

    Leonardo: If I were alive during this day and age, I would be considered a brilliant artist but very inadequate in other areas—in speech. It was very hard for me to talk about what I could see. That grew with me as a young man. My love for mathematics grew when I found the joy of painting the body.

    Me: Oh, because of the ratios of—

    Leonardo: Yes!

    Me: The Pi ratios?

    Jamie (giggling): He just did that little childlike thing again!

    Me: Aw, yeah! Life follows mathematical ratios perfectly.

    Leonardo: Yes. I enjoyed numbers so much, because they never lied to me.

    Me: Aw, wow, that’s goose bumpy. Now, tell me what you do with the education system then?

    Leonardo: I would gently take it apart starting with what you call the sixth grade and down, becauses the children who have gone through one through six already have their foundation of who theu want to be when they are older. Then I would do as you say. Have interest led, student led learning. No grades. Mastery, yes, but no grades.

    (Pause)

    Me: Okay. Do you have any other advice?

    Jamie: He smiles and does that combing thing through his beard.

    (Pause)

    Jamie (to Leonardo): You want to say it like that?

    (Pause)

    Jamie (giggling): I don’t understand! Nothing. Nothing. Wait. Tell me again! (Pause) I don’t get it!

    Me: I wouldn’t get a word he says. He’s too brilliant.

    Jamie (laughing): He’s talking about nothing good comes from being ignorant.

    Me: Okay.

    Jamie: Um, but then he does a follow up sentence with “ignorance—”

    Me: —is bliss.

    Jamie (giggling): “Ignorance shows—“ (pause) It’s something like this—and I’m sorry it’s not his exact words—Ignorance shows that a person is done with their life.

    Me: Oh! Because learning is life!

    Jamie: Leanring is life! Learning is growth. And I think the way he uses the word ignorance feels different than the way that we use it.

    Me: Oh, okay. Well, it’s like learning is the dance that is life.

    Jamie: He agrees to that.

    Me: What about you, Erik? Do you have any questions for Leonardo? And please don’t say you he was your favorite on the Mutant Ninja Turtles. I feel that’s coming.

    Erik: God, that would be so good, but I won’t embarrass you, Mom.

    Mom: That’s okay. I can’t be embarrassed. I usually embarrass myself, anyway.

    Erik (to Leonardo): You built all these hand-built models that were so successful and that worked like trains and helocopters and airplanes and hot air balloons. Why didn’t you build them full sized?

    Me: Oh, yeah! Great question!

    Leonardo: Well, I did!

    Me: Really?

    Leonardo: For some. And then I saw what devastation and destruction they would cause—

    Me: In what way?

    Leonardo: To humanity and to the Earth. I saw, in visions, how they could be used for harm.

    Me: So, you were psychic.

    Leonardo: Yes.  So, I then, after that, never made them full sized and kept them as little inventive imagination trinkets.

    Me: Okay. Well, thank you so much! It was such an honor.  I just feel such love for you, Leonardo.

    Leonardo: Thank you so much.

    Me: Bye.

    Leonardo (to me): Take care.

    Leonardo (to Erik): Take care.

    Leonardo (to Jamie): Take care.

    Leonardo leaves.

    Me: What an interesting guy!

    Erik: Whoa, really?

    Jamie laughs.

    Me (laughing): Dur.

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

    By the way, one of our Channeling Erik family members needs our prayers sent for a dear friend of hers. I hope you all oblige. Here is the email she sent this morning:

    Good morning Elisa. I am writing to you in hopes that you might possibly share this with the CE family. My very dear friend Robin (38yo) was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Tomorrow she is scheduled for a double mastectomy and also ovary removal. Could you please share this message with the CE family and Erik as well, to send her many prayers, light and much positive energy. Her surgery is scheduled for 7am.

    Enjoy the next to the last segment of Leo!

    Me: What were you here to learn?

    Leonardo: I was here to learn how to take direction from myself—not from my mother, not from my father, not from my sponsoring artist, not from money, not form politics, not from kings and queens, and not—especially not—from God!

    Me: Oh, wow!

    Leonardo: Our definition of God back then was really what drove war. Fight for God. Change who you are for God. Nobody wanted you close to God.

    Me: Well, so many say, “Our beliefs are right and yours are wrong” in a way to strengthen their own egos and then you have two groups: the people who believe in God A and the people who believe in God B. So you have all these Holy Wars and the millions of deaths that result. Is that what you’re referring to?

    Leonardo: Yes, and that’s such ignorance.

    Me: Yes, it is. It seems to be getting worse and worse now.

    But on the other hand, spirituality seems to be growing just as ego driven things are also growing.

    Jamie: Oh wow, when he smiles and claps his hands, he kind of has this little youthful, childlike excitement about him. You can tell that he’d be a fun guy to hang out with, like he isn’t a stick in the mud!

    Me: Yeah! Let’s go chill with Leo! So, can you share a past life that most influenced your last one?

    Jamie (laughing): He stops to clarify that what you mean is what life, not what past life.

    Me: I know, I know! All lives are happening at once!

    Leonardo: There were several experiences where I was only alive in the womb. I never made it outside the womb alive.

    Me: Ah, so you couldn’t discover the world!

    Leonardo: There was once, many times I was having this experience—four or five times being only in the womb, only listening to the mother, only deciding who I was as awake consciousness in a body. It’s a magical time, being in a womb. It’s not like trapped in a prison. It’s the most spacious place I have found to be held in. There is such a vast awareness of what each movement it and how if feels and what it means and how to describe it without words and without logic, without knowing what comparison or measurement is. And it was these moments in my journey to Earth and life on Earth that encouraged me to have that same exploration when after he has learned these concepts and has been outside of the womb itself.

    Me: Interesting. Well, you know. I think our eyes often lie to us and keep us from living with our hearts. It makes our thoughts imprison us and fragment our reality. Now, have your reincarnated? In other words, have you incarnated in our—

    Leonardo: Yes, yes.

    Me: Interesting. So, you’re on the earthly plane now living in the same “time” as Jamie and me?

    Leonardo: Well, no, if you’re speaking of linear time, I’m coming later after you’re gone.

    Me: Okay. Can you tell us a bit about what your afterlife is like?

    Leonardo: Which one?

    Jamie: W-w-whoa!

    Erik laughs.

    Jamie listens.

    Jamie (to Leonardo): Okay, I think I understand, but can you say it one more time?

    Leonardo: Heaven, being multi-dimensional, you have many—

    Jamie (to Leonardo): What are you touching? What is that?

    Erik: That’s chess.

    Me: Hm.

    Jamie: Okay. Aw, I’m not going to understand this.

    Erik (laughing): Shut up, Jamie!

    Jamie laughs.

    Me: Oh no!

    Jamie: I wish you could see the picture they’re putting in my head! Okay, it’s a flat chessboard, and there are all the pieces of the chess on there. They’re pretending this is Heaven.

    Jamie (to Erik and Leonardo): Sorry, thank you.

    Leonardo: If you pretend that was Earth and you took the pawn and looked at the perspective of the pawn and then you moved it one place forward, you’d have a different perspective.

    Me: Oh!

    Leonardo: You’d no longer have the one from the place you were in. It’s like if you were in a car and you were driving, you’d just have those moments of the places you had been, but at the end, your whole surroundings are different. You’re not where you were.

    Me: Okay.

    Leonardo: In Heaven, if you move the pawn forward, you have the perspective of the pawn in the square above it, but you also have still remaining as true as it was the perspective of the place you just came from.

    Me: I see. So, you can see all of the different facets of the diamond all at once, huh?

    Leonardo: Yes.

    Me: I guess it just depends on if your able to focus your intention on a particular square or squares.

    Leonardo: Yes, and each square is a different type of dimension, but you arte still one being and you are still wholly connected to the memory and consciousness of the one you created yourself as well as the collective whole.

    Leonardo: What is it you wish to know?

    Me: Reflecting on your life, do you think you accomplished what you came here to do? If so, what was that mission?

    Leonardo: I was very happy with my life.

    (Pause)

    Jamie (to Leonardo): Can you say that again, please?

    Leonardo: I’m mostly happy with how I was able to maintain the secrets of what I learned. It was very clear when I was a young man that what I learned about the world around me would not be understood by the masses. So, I took pride in how I was able to refrain from releasing information that I felt was accurate and desirable once people could understand what I was saying. But at that time, the world wasn’t ready for it. My spiritual mission, I completed with great joy. I have no regrets. I was given so many opportunities at a time when there weren’t many.

    Me: And you seized every opportunity, too. I can see that.

    Jamie: He, um. God, he mumbles, sometimes!

    I giggle.

    Jamie: It’s almost like when he goes to think, he mumbles it out loud, and then he says it to me. His mouth is really attached to his head!

    Me: Oh my gosh; how funny!

    Leonardo: In a time when Christianity was forced upon the people, there was no choice of what you could accept, so there was such beauty with different religions. I studied other religions, and in many ways, the other religions felt very secure—felt like home—where Christianity felt like a story that you had to force yourself to believe.

    Me: Hm. Okay.

    Jamie: He’s talking about being a member of a secret society.

    Me: Oh, the Illuminati?

    Jamie: Yes.

    Me: Is that a good society or a bad society?

    Leonardo: It was a good society. I compare it to the private extreme spiritual groups that meet today that can’t find peace or residence in one religion or church; they have a greater understanding of how energy works.

    (Pause)

    Me: So, what was the purpose of the Illuminati back then?

    Leonardo: It was to decode the messages of the Bible to have purpose and understanding in that day and time.

    Jamie: Oh, my god, we’re still trying to do that now. Think of all the Bible is—the words and—

    Me: Exactly. Many think the Bible is translated much too literally and based in Christian Dogma instead of spiritually the way Jesus intended.

    Leonardo: You understand me quite well.

    Me: What about the Illuminati now? Are they more of a nefarious group?

    Leonardo: They’ve split and divided off. Only a few of the groups have stuck to the original core purpose which allows them to grow with each passing century, but many of them enjoy old traditional rituals which seems to be getting chokes out by cultural changes. It’s never wise to stay the same when you have such great opportunity to accept change.

    Me: hmm. What were you here to teach?

    Leonardo: I feel I was here to teach that discovery is healthy—to give every man the right to discover for himself. It was already implanted at birth the levels of society in what people were allowed to do for themselves. If you without money, you cannot learn. If you were a woman, you cannot learn. If you had money, you could learn to read.  If someone who had money sponsored you, then you could learn. It was very hand selected—

    Me: –who could learn and who could not.

    Leonardo: Yes, and I feel so many of our wise people were shut down. I was here to teach people that it’s okay to discover; it’s okay to look at the body. I was scrutinized and criticized for looking the naked body and wanting to see why it functioned the way it did and it did what it did.

    Me: Yeah!

    Leonardo: How can we not be interested in who we are? It makes no sense! I believe I was here to teach that!

    By popular demand, I’ve decided to post one celebrity entry a week. Of course post on Mr. da Vinci is only part one, so you’ll have to wait with baited breath for the rest of the series. Mua ha ha! I’m evil, aren’t I?

    I found Leonardo to be a fascinating interview. I hope you agree!

    Me: I’d like to reach way back in history now and interview Leonardo da Vinci. Can you get him, Erik?

    Jamie (gasping): Leonardo da Vinci! That’s so cool!

    Me: I know!

    Jamie: He left.

    Me: Okay.

    Jamie and I chit chat about the Christmas present I sent her and my threats that Erik will rat on her if she opens it early.

    Me: Who you got there, Sweetie?

    Jamie: Yeah, Leonardo has a middle name.

    Me: Oh, really? What is it, da? (I laugh.)

    Jamie: Da da da da da dat da Vinci.

    Me: So, it’s a long name, huh?

    Jamie: Yeah, it’s like four syllables. Buona something maybe.

    Me: I’ll look it up latter.

    Jamie (giggling): It sounds like a wine!

    Me: Hello Mr. da Vinci!

    Leonardo: Good Morning!

    Me: Good morning to you! I’m honored!

    Jamie: He’s showing me as probably 40-ish.

    Me: Okay.

    Jamie: He’s not old and gray or anything or anything, but he does have a healthy sized beard.

    Me: Okay. Mr. da Vinci, I so respect your work. I cannot think of a more prolific and gifted inventor, scholar, artist, teacher and scientist than you. Were you able to time travel? Is that how you got the whole helicopter idea thing, for example?

    Jamie listens to Erik and Leonardo.

    Jamie (to Erik): Okay.

    Jamie: Erik’s coaching him.

    Me: Aw. Coaching da Vinci? Seriously?

    Jamie: I know!

    Me: Whoa!

    Erik (to Leonardo): Yeah, just tell them how it is. You don’t have to use the old English. You can just talk the way we talk.

    Me: Good!

    Erik: Kind of make it a little more cool, a little more cool and down to earth.

    Me: Oh, you want Leonardo to be all hip.

    Jamie (giggling): He’s enjoying the talk from Erik. He’s patting Erik on the shoulder. Erik is taller than he is.

    Me: Oh, wow.

    Leonardo: You wouldn’t call it time travel. I would call it vision of the future. Since I was a little boy, the circumstance of how I came to life was quite by luck. It was out of a romantic encounter that wasn’t meant to last a lifetime (He smiles.) So, I feel like I snuck in, and I feel quite happy about that.

    Me: Well, we’re happy you did.

    Leonardo: Seriously! And ever since I was a boy, I had pictures in my head that would come to me like a storybook, and I felt like it was my job to write them down, just like the great inventors of your time, like Steve Jobs.

    Jamie: He’s comparing Steve Jobs to himself.

    Me: Wow. Well, I can see that.

    Leonardo: So, when I began as a young child to study painting with Verrocchio (Jamie struggles with the pronunciation of the name), I was given the opportunity to start being able to draw accurately what these pictures were in my head. Maybe they were pictures of the future or pictures of the past. To be able to answer that, you must be able to tell me what time really is.

    Me: Hmm.

    Leonardo: Do you care to tell me?

    Me: Well, I just think it’s a human construct just like the sunrise and sunset. We need time to structure our days and nights, so we’ll remember to eat and sleep, have sequential thoughts and language, cause and effects, timelines and so on.

    Jamie: He loves it! He loves listening to you! His eyes are really intent and gentle, and when he thinks he kind of rubs his beard like a comb.

    Me: Okay.

    LAST DAY TO SIGN UP FOR TOMORROW’S CONFERENCE CALL! Check yesterday’s post for details. Once you sign up, Jamie will give you  the phone number, access code, and other instructions! Have fun!

    Me: Okay. Can you share a past life that most affected your last one, Marilyn?

    Marilyn: Oh, that’s so interesting!

    Me:  I get that a lot!

    (Pause)

    Jamie (to Marilyn): Right, right. So, that would be a different category.

    Jamie (laughing): She was going back to the one as Norma Jean, and Erik was like, “No, another one. Another life.” It was cute!

    (Pause)

    Jamie: Uh, she’s giving me an image of being a mechanic. Older man, maybe 50s to 60s? She lived in Germany, and she was putting cars together.

    Marilyn: I was not the owner, nor even the designer of the car. I was just the mechanic. I wasn’t married, really didn’t have any family, and it was the kindness of the manufacturer that recognized me as being a creative designer. He pulled me out of the field even at an older age when it wasn’t even considered appropriate to work. I was put in front of the thinkers, and I had never come across anyone in my lifetime that could see people for who they are and for that person to be so rich and in such a higher position in life.

    Me: Wow.

    Marilyn: I remember throughout my whole life, I worked, and now I was getting praised because somebody saw the good in me. I just wanted to be that man in that next life—to see the good in people.

    Me: Yeah. What a beautiful thing to want.

    Marilyn: That influenced me, because the next life I came into, I was Norma Jean, and I tried my best to see the good in people, but all I signed up for was disconnect.

    Me: Yeah. Yeah. Now that you have a fresh perspective, do you have any messages to share with the world?

    Marilyn: Sexy is beautiful, yet beauty only exists if there’s honesty.

    Me: I like that! Honesty with others and honesty with yourself.

    Marilyn: Yes. Across the board.

    Me: Is there anything else you want to ask Ms. Monroe, Erik? Not her measurements, please!

    Erik (laughing): Nope, just that I’m going to walk her home!

    Me: Oh, I bet!

    Me: Well, thank you do much, Ms. Monroe, for coming here today.

    Marilyn: Thank you for having me.

    Jamie: It’s cool, because she’s not that tall or than thin. She’s very much full-figured.

    Me: Good! That’s the way women should be. (That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it!)

    Jamie: Beautiful woman, and her skin is gorgeous!

    Me: Oh, good! So your afterlife, what does it look like?

    Marilyn: I enjoy my house—

    Me: On the earthly plane—

    Marilyn: Yes.

    Me: Or an exact duplication of the house you had?

    Marilyn: On the earthly plane.

    Me: Okay. What were you here to learn and teach. I know you talked a little about what you were here to learn, but can you restate it, too?

    Marilyn: What I would like to teach is that happiness can only come from within, and it can only be created if you learn how to say no. If you give way to what everyone else wants, you’re not being authentic to who you are. You’re not being true to yourself.

    Me: Setting boundaries. Very important.

    Jamie (chuckling): She points at me and says, “That’s another way of saying it!”

    Me: Yeah. Physical, emotional, and spiritual boundaries.

    Marilyn: Yes.

    Me: Okay. Wait, was that what you were here to learn or teach? I forgot!

    Marilyn: I was here to learn that, but would like to teach that to people now!

    Me: Oh, okay! That makes sense.

    Marilyn: Maybe what I did learn was how to compartmentalize and how to hide, and that was not my goal.

    Me: What insights did you gain after you crossed over?      

    (Long pause)

    Jamie: Um. Erik’s repeating the question to her. She has a great way of blinking her eyes. I know that’s such an odd comment, but…

    Me: I can just see that. Kind of slowly like, woosh, woosh.

    Jamie: Yeah, it’s really pretty. It’s not normal blinking. I don’t know it she trained herself to do it or if that’s just part of her character. Nice.

    Jamie laughs hard.

    Jamie: Now she’s giggling at me!

    Jamie (to Marilyn): I’m sorry, but sometimes I feel like I want to describe characteristics!

    Me: Yeah!

    Jamie: Okay, I just took everybody off track. What was the question?

    Me: The insights she gained.

    Jamie: Oh, yeah. Tell us the insights you gained.

    Marilyn: The biggest one that overwhelmed me was that we’re really not alone!

    Me: Yeah. Hmm.

    Marilyn: And the idea of the ego keeping us so separate from who we are, where we are that when it’s taken away, that’s when you can truly decide if you like who you are or not.

    Me: Very profound.

    Erik: Well, did you like who were?

    Marilyn: For the most part, no, but now I do.

    Me: Aw, that’s good, Marilyn. Bravo, Erik!

    Jamie: Okay, off the record.

    Me: Off the record. Okay, got it.

    Jamie: You asked the question what did she do now, where does she live?

    Me: Yes.

    Jamie: She kept showing me the image of XXXXX. They spend time together.

    Me: As friends or as more than friends?

    Jamie: As more than friends! Romantically.

    Me: Okay, well we’ll keep that off the record for sure. No names. I promise. I don’t want a hit man after me!

    Jamie laughs.

    Me: What was your proudest accomplishment while in the physical and has that changed since you’ve passed on?

    Marilyn: All the money I was paid and the status I go from being in Playboy.

    Jamie: So, in your career, you deem that to be the most—

    Me: And after you crossed over, was that still your proudest achievement or did your perception of accomplishment change?

    Marilyn: It definitely changed, because then I became proud of everything I accomplished instead of just the one marker.

    Me: Okay.

    Marilyn: When you’re alive, you’re just looking at what’s big THEN!

    Me: Oh, yeah. You don’t have that broader sense of who you are and what you’re doing.

    Marilyn: Yes.

    Me: Ah. Was your actual transition peaceful? What was death like for you? Can you describe your thoughts and surroundings during the process of crossing over?

    Jamie (giggling): She’s so cute. She kind of throws her head back and lowers a shoulder a little bit; you can tell she’s going through memories.

    Marilyn: My first thought was, ‘Well, the medicine is FINALLY working!’

    Me: Oh my gosh!

    Marilyn: I had never been so relaxed in my life! And so carefree, really away fro everything and in the moment. So, I thought, ‘What a wonderful dream this is!’ It wasn’t a dream, though.

    Me: Wow.
    Marilyn: When I finally realized that I had passed over, I had a chance to see my body.

    Jamie: She’s showing me she was in a bed, like a bedroom, not hers. Not hers. She was staying somewhere?

    Me: I don’t know.

    Marilyn: And when I realized I had died and had the opportunity to see my body, I was very disturbed and quite embarrassed. I just didn’t want to have the publicity of this.

    Me: Yeah.

    Marilyn: I remember seeing—

    (Pause)
    Jamie: It’s like she’s really thinking hard about it.

    Marilyn: I remember seeing family, but I wasn’t all that excited about that.

    Me: Family on the other side that are deceased?

    Marilyn: Yes.

    Jamie: It’s almost like she was rejecting them.

    Me: Was that because you didn’t want to accept the fact that you had passed over?

    Marilyn: I feel my family didn’t support me.

    Jamie: She’s talking about all this trouble with—I didn’t know she came from such a troubled family!

    Me: I didn’t either.

    Jamie: I see her living with different family members, not being understood. I see yelling; I see physical boundaries being crossed, maybe molestation.

    Marilyn: I just never felt comfortable with my family.

    Me: You never felt safe?

    Marilyn: Yes. So I alienated myself. I became the single provider; I took care of everything and kind of shut down. So when it came time to cross over to this beautiful place and it was family?? There were some members that I didn’t even know, so I didn’t have that safe family feeling. I remember asking, ‘Was this it?’ And as soon as I began to ask questions, the walls went further away, and I began to see more. When everything pulled back, I had that feeling of infinite peace and joy. It was what I was searching for in life, but the only time I found it was when I was performing, because I didn’t have to be who I was.

    Me: It sounds like you were a woman who had to come to the realization that YOU create your own peace; it cannot come from other people.

    Marilyn: That would be the lesson I would want everyone to learn.

    Me: Yeah. So, are you getting along with your family now? Have you made your peace with them?

    Marilyn: Yes.

    Me: Oh, good. Was it your destiny to die when and how you did, or was it just, “Oops.”

    Marilyn (smiling): I’m assuming it was. It never felt that way to me.

    Me: Why? Why did you die when and how you did? Did it serve any purpose? Was it a preplanned exit point?

    Marilyn: I really think it was an exit point because it took care of ME.

    Me: Oh, okay.

    Marilyn: I obviously didn’t know when a good time was to leave.

    Me: Yeah. Can you describe your afterlife now? What do you do there; what kind of life’s work do you have; what does it look like?

    (Pause)

    Jamie: God, that makes her brighten up!

    Marilyn: It’s so beautiful. The feeling throughout your whole body of where I was, knowing that you’re not going to be misled or taken advantage of—none of those experiences are here or around me, so I have the time and strength to connect with other models.

    Jamie: That’s neat, cuz I always think of her as an actress.

    Me: Me too! Maybe she was a model first. I’m not sure.

    Marilyn: Yes, I was.

    Me: Okay.

    Marilyn:  I connect with other models, because they’re often the ones with body image problems.

    Me: Oh, yes.

    Jamie: She’s very much into women’s rights. 

    Sorry I haven’t really edited anything. Once I got over my respiratory virus, I caught a gastrointestinal one so I’m writing this from my bed. I probably won’t write anything tomorrow. SICK OF BEING SICK!  :-(

    Me: Okay, Erik. Can you get Marilyn Monroe, Jim Morrison or Judy Garland?

    Jamie: He’d going to get one of the ladies.

    (Pause)

    Jamie: Hi! This is Marilyn Monroe.

    Me: Oh, Hello, Ms. Monroe!

    (Pause)

    Jamie (squealing with delight): Wow, she has a really nice voice!

    Me: I know! Very soothing, huh?

    Jamie: Yeah, it is! I just thought that was part of her act, but maybe it’s not. Maybe it’s all her!

    Me: Maybe so! Norma Jean!

    Jamie: Oh, yeah! Norma Jean M-mor, Morrison? Mort, uh Mortisson? I can’t understand what she’s saying.

    Me: I don’t know. Oh wait! Mortenson I think. So, Marilyn, I suppose you know why we’re here.

    Marilyn: Yes I do! It’s nice to meet you.

    Me: Likewise. And I’m sure Erik is probably VERY happy to meet YOU!

    Marilyn: He’s a very smart young man!

    Me: Aw, of course he is! Erik, why don’t we start with you? Would you like to ask Ms. Monroe a question?

    Erik: What beliefs did you have on earth, like were you born into a certain religion?

    (Thank god he didn’t ask about her measurements and cup size. Sigh.)

    Me: That’s a great question, Erik!

    Jamie: It’s so cute; she has turned to kind of face him, so I’m really like a third wheel in the conversation.

    I laugh.

    Jamie: She’s telling him about two phases in her life: being raised Catholic, being baptized, and her family having all the holidays and expectations on what a Christian family should have. But then when she got older, like in her thirties, she switched to Judaism.

    Me: Wow, I didn’t know that!

    Marilyn: It was out of my own free will, and I felt that it fit my needs and beliefs more. It was more structured toward spirituality than the certain behaviors that are required of you.

    Me: Oh! Is it like the Kabbalah type Judaism?

    Marilyn: Yes.

    Me: So it was more spiritual that what you were raised with?

    Marilyn: Yes.

    Me: Okay. Did that change after you crossed over?

    Marilyn: I was happy that I took the time to follow my gut feeling in my life and change my beliefs to something that better suited me.

    Jamie (snickering): I said just the dumbest thing right now in my head, and she just looked at me and laughed!

    Jamie and I giggle.

    Jamie: I said, ‘So really, Marilyn Monroe was a Jew?’ She just started laughing and she nodded her head, “yes.”

    Me: You can run, but you can’t hide, Jamie!

    Jamie (giggling): I can’t! I just didn’t know that about her!

    Me: Me neither!

    Marilyn: When I arrive, I felt like I understood more about what the afterlife was giving to her, and she wasn’t’ faced with fear and regret, because she had understood that the belief in God is the spirituality you hold inside of you.

    Me: So, you believed in an afterlife before you crossed?

    Marilyn: I did, yes!

    Me: That’s good! Now what was your transition like for you, Marilyn?

    Marilyn: It was definitely not what I had wanted. I didn’t  take the medications that I did and want to be dead.

    Jamie: I thought it was a suicide.

    Me: So what happened, Marilyn?

    Jamie: Yeah, I’m asking the same thing. She’s showing me pills. She said she remembered them not working, but in looking back, it was clear that they were.

    Marilyn: But I wasn’t relaxing; I was having a reaction.

    Jamie: It’s like a sleeping pill or a sedative, and you’re not allowing the medicine to work and you can have this alternative reaction of freaking out and then thinking that you need to take more.

    Me: Oh, I see.

    Marilyn: And so I took more, and my body couldn’t handle it.

    Jamie: She’s calling it an accidental overdose.

    Marilyn: I wasn’t planning on suicide. Now I had thought about death; I was having a very difficult time in my life. That’s why I was having difficulty sleeping. My health was poor, and in my life, I had so many secrets. It has to be my biggest regrets. My biggest love was being in the limelight. I really enjoyed what I did. I LOVED what I did, but all the secrets that I had—I couldn’t carry them. I wasn’t raised to be a woman who created lies and hold secrets, and it broke me.

    Me: So, that was your top regret?

    Marilyn: Yes, not being able to be truthful about who I was.

    Me: What were you here to teach?

    Audrey: Strength. I could really sum it up to that one word.

    Me: The strength of the individual to change the world?

    Audrey: Yes, especially a woman.

    Me: Yes, good. And you had so much strength.

    (Pause)

    Me: Can you tell us about a past life that most influenced your last one?

    (Long pause as she talks to Jamie)

    Audrey: I was a boy in Ireland. It was during the years of the Great Starvation.

    Jamie: I vaguely remember this from history, but like they didn’t have anything to eat.

    Me: Oh, yeah, like the potato famine? I can’t remember if that was in the early 1900s, but that’s okay. It’s not a history book, thank god!

    Jamie laughs

    Audrey: I was a little boy; I didn’t live long. I maybe lasted to be 1 or 12. I don’t remember. You stop counting. You stop having birthdays. You just, on many occasions, ate dirt—

    Me: Oh gosh.

    Audrey: —because you wanted something in your belly. You wanted food, and being young, you were the product of what the political society was trying to teach the adults.

    Me: Can you elaborate?

    Audrey: The adults were so beside themselves with the blight, that they were often away trying to find food, trying to create. The children were often left behind, a bit helpless.

    Me: Aw.

    Audrey: And a lot of us were abandoned by our parents.

    Me: Aw. I guess because they couldn’t feed you.

    Audrey: Right. And this could have been easily resolved by getting help from other nations; it was very long and tedious, and through that, I gave up. I remember not wanting to live; I remember stopping eating altogether. I didn’t want it any more.

    Me (sadly): Yeah.

    Audrey: And it was that act of giving up that encouraged me, as Audrey in the life we’re now discussing, to fight for my own nutritional rights and to fight for—

    Jamie: Oh, I get it now!

    Audrey: —all the other children’s rights as well.

    Me: Yes, and to fight for other countries to pull together, because the other nations didn’t help Ireland. You did that, Audrey. You really pulled charitable support from different nations all over the world and encouraged them to respond to that calling. So yes, that was a very influential life for you.

    Audrey: Absolutely.

    Me: So, what was your proudest accomplishment?  This is probably an easy question for you.  

    Audrey: I had many external proud moments—being nominated for awards, winning awards, recognition, marriage, children. But privately, my proudest accomplishment—

    Jamie (giggling): She’s talking about her last marriage. So she was married more than once!

    Audrey: My last husband—

    (Pause as Jamie asks for clarification)

    Jamie: She considered him a husband. It was the last person that she was with.

    Audrey: I had finally met someone with whom I was completely honest without holding back.

    Me: I vaguely recall that.

    Audrey: It took me long enough in m life to find someone—

    (Pause)

    Me: Who you could open your heart to?

    Audrey: Yes. We were married in our hearts, not formally, because we didn’t need to be.

    Me: So after you crossed over and looked at your accomplishments from the perspective of the spiritual realm, which were you proudest of?

    Audrey: I hold fast to that one.

    Me: Okay, good.

    Audrey: It was a personal achievement that I never thought I would find.

    Me: Aw. Now, given your powerful perspective in the afterlife, do you have any messages or advice for humanity? Do you have anything else you’d like to share with the world?

    (Long pause)

    Jamie: She fixes her hair; she’s thinking. Erik asked her what she was doing, and she told him she was trying to put it into one sentence.

    Audrey: What I would preach is that emotions from anyone—

    Jamie (laughing): Erik’s interrupting!

    Me (giggling): Of course!

    Jamie: He was inquiring if that meant from animals as well!

    Me: Aw!

    Jamie: And she agrees that the emotional value from any living being— and she thanked Erik for helping her clarify that—visually may not appear to be much, but it IS what makes the largest impact in our life, and it IS what makes people change overnight.

    Me: Oh, yeah. Well said.

    Audrey: I beg that every human being cherish the personal strength of their own emotions.

    Me: Yeah. What wonderful words. Erik, do you have anything else you’d like to ask Ms. Audrey?

    Erik: No. I’ll walk her back.

    Me: Okay. Thank you so much, Ms. Hepburn. I’m hoping your words here will continue to have a positive impact on the world.

    Jamie giggles.

    Me: Ah oh. What’s he doing now?

    Jamie: He was doing that—oh darn, what was that musical. Um, Eliza Doolittle.

    Me: Oh, My Fair Lady!

    Jamie mimics Eliza Doolittle saying, “The rine in Spin falls minly on the pline.” (The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain.) He just blurted it out to her!

    Jamie (laughing): It was so funny. It just came out of nowhere! Ay, the rine in spine! And she just laughs!

    Me: Oh, Erik, you’re so funny. Jamie, what are we going to do with him?

    Jamie (laughing harder): I don’t know!

    Erik: That was a complement to her. I was proving that I knew who she was! 

    Me: There we go! I love that movie; I remember watching it together! Well, thank you so much, Ms. Hepburn. It’s been an honor.

    Audrey: Thank you so much.

    Jamie (giggling): She does this little curtsey.

    Me: Aw. I can just see that.
