    I’d like to enlist the help of all Channeling Erik blog members. One of our own, Jen Corbett, has her daughter, Lacie in the hospital with a serious infection called cellulitis in on of her hands. She’s only two years old. Please send Reiki or any other forms of healing her way and give your prayers, your love and your light to both her and her mother.

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

    Erik has really ramped up his pranks lately for some odd reason. I can’t count the number of emails and Facebook messages I’ve gotten from his “victims”! Here’s one from Wendy Addison:

    FIRST EMAIL

    Hi Elisa, I am a very good friend of Sonja Wray + have recently connected with your Channeling Erik network, listened to some broadcasts + of course watched the YouTube videos. I was prompted to write a letter about suicide to Sonja over the weekend + I had saved the word.doc as ‘why do you think Erik has come through so strongly’. I composed my letter last Friday + sent it to Sonja on Saturday. Today, on searching for a word.doc I opened up my folder + as you can see from the photograph, all the documents are currently dated. All of them except my letter to Sonja, which now has the date 01.00 01 January 1601. Now I know this is a ‘Microsoft’ date but my computer has not shut down + if anything else had gone awry, why haven’t all my document dates been altered? As I looked at the date, the Robbie Williams song, ‘I want to contact the living’ began playing on the radio! I have not stopped getting the most awesome goosebumps all over my body since. I had inadvertently forgotten to change the name of my document leaving with ‘why do you think Erik….’ – my sense is that Erik decided to try to answer some of the questions I had in my letter! Please share if you feel appropriate xxx

    SECOND EMAIL

    I am a very rational-thinking but connected to spirit individual.  I could, at a push, rationalise the above.  However, all the time I was checking and rechecking, the goosebumps gathered momentum to the point where I was expressing this surprise to Sonja Wray online via Facebook. I keep saying ‘OMG these goosebumps’.  Furthermore, the Robbie Williams song began at some point into my questioning and I could no longer mentally make sense of what I was encountering!  The words within this song was Erik and expressed a number of awakenings he shared via his channeling with Jamie. Needless to say that over the past 3-5 days all I had been focusing my attention on was Erik, you, Sonja and the afterlife.  So no surprises there then!

    Here’s another story from Tiffany Wambach

    “This is funny to me because last week, I was drinking out of a bottle of water I bought at the airport. I was reusing the bottle for a few days and I finally noticed that there were some words that were watermarked in a picture of an iceberg on the label that I could not believe I hadn’t noticed before. Especially since I had been using the bottle for several days. I looked closely and read “Source of an Eric Life”. This took me really off guard and I immediately thought of Erik despite the misspelling. I knew this had to be incorrect so I started to look at more writing on the bottle to see if anything else that was written on the bottle explained this strange phrase. It did. It is supposed to say “epic life” but the way it is printed on the glacier it looks like it says “eric”. You used the word epic above so that is what reminded me. Hopefully you can see what I am talking about here.”

     

    Icelandic Water Botlle

     Lastly, although not an Erik prank, here’s a fascinating Houston Chronicle news article a blog member sent me:

    HOUSTON CHRONICLE ARTICLE

    One last thing: We have a lot of new blog members. I welcome you with open arms! Also, I can’t stress enough how important it is to read through the archives bit by bit. There’s so much important information there about death, the afterlife and the human experience.

    Erik Skywalker

    So my dear, mutual Erik friends, our young man got me good.  Oh yes, he did.  I didn’t think it would happen, but wow.  WOW is all I can say.

    When I began talking to Erik, I received a number of kind-hearted emails “warning” me of Erik’s impending antics.  Get ready!  He’s such a prankster – he’ll moon you!  He’ll stink up the place!  He’ll do something to shock you!

    Pshaw.  I am a child of the 90s, people.  We invented the phrase “whatever.”

    Well around that time, I managed to lose a set of earphones.  It was a minor inconvenience, and I’ve been borrowing my Sweetie’s earphones, leaving her without music for her jogging.  We looked *everywhere* for the freaking things, but we didn’t really think much of it.  Stuff gets lost, right?  They’ll turn up eventually.

    This afternoon (Friday) at work, I pulled my iPhone out of my scrubs shirt pocket and not one but TWO sets of ear phones were wrapped around the device.

    There is NO WAY those earphones were in that pocket this morning.  That would mean that they had been in the scrub shirt and gone through the industrial hospital washer and dryer.  I have washed earphones before and seen what happened to them – these earphones were NOT in the scrub top when I put it on in the morning.

    I also distinctly remember having those earphones at home before I lost them.  I listen to them at work, and then I listen to them as I ride my bike home from work – if I’d left them in my scrub top, I would have noticed immediately!

    SOMEONE put those earphones in my shirt pocket WHILE I WAS WEARING IT!!  I didn’t figure out it was Erik until I got home and told the story to Sweetie, and suddenly remembered one of those “warning” emails – He hides stuff!  Then I knew it – I just KNEW it was him!

    Erik just blew my mind-hole, people.  I have seen and heard some amazing signs and confirmations from some of these spirit friends, but never has anyone actually transported an object from one location ON TO MY PERSON!  I am so freaking impressed with Erik right now.

    I thought you folks would enjoy that.  You were right, he got me!  ANYWAY!  On to our topic…

    There’s a bit of a lead-in to this conversation with Erik:  a while back, I had a crazy-vivid dream about Erik.  (Not *that* kind of dream, Erik, sheesh.)  He was very proud to share he had been “promoted”.  Chuffed is the best word for this feeling of pride and growth.  The visual is Erik in a white robe thing, (he clarified not a poufy night shirt – a COOL robe) standing next to John Lennon.

    That dream sparked two weeks of discussion and today’s entry.

    The thing about that visual, Erik next to John just radiating pride, it really stuck with me and I felt like I was missing something.  The message was incomplete – he was promoted, but by who and to what?

    I shared this dream with a lovely friend (who doesn’t identify as a psychic or a medium but has no trouble talking to Erik.)  She turned to Erik and asked him to clarify.

    “He says it’s not in your dictionary.  I’ll meditate later and see if I can get more.”

    She emailed me the next morning:

    “Last night he explained that he’s in a training program for Ascended Masters – that’s why you saw him with John… he’s trying to figure out how to get that sort of program “Approved” on his side – much like an independent studies program at a university here on earth.”

    Well, I had a pretty strong reaction; nothing curdles my yoghurt more than the term “ascended master”.  I responded quickly and rashly:

    “I call bullshit on the *ascended master* thing – that there is a place or rank where some people go that leaves others behind?  Bullshit. 

    And pardon my crassness, but who the fuck “approves” these things anyway?  That’s another thing I don’t buy – that there is an approval process or a form of government.  This does not make sense to me right now.  Not with the words we’re using.  I need different words.  I can’t subscribe to a vernacular that makes others feel separate.”

    Yeah, I was kinda pissed, (and we know anger is really a fear reaction!)   As I signed off the last email, I found myself tearing up!  This idea of “masters” holding the power to “approve programs” in the afterlife is a distressing concept to me, and I think it is to others, as well.  So that’s what we’re talking about this week!

    Erik:

    Okay, so it’s like this.  You can pick any words you want to use, and if you come across something that bugs you, you just take a look at why it’s bugging you.  In your case, you have this problem with authority (huge approving grin) which is an improvement, by the way (in comparison to my previous fears of authority).

    So fuck the whole “ascended master” thing, if it turns you off.  Just think of me as a cool Luke Skywalker! 

    Isn’t Luke Skywalker kind of cool by himself?

    (Shows me Luke spent a lot of time whining in the first movie – yeah he was a whiner, you’re right Erik.) And Luke, right, HE had a problem with authority too – dude didn’t finish his Jedi training with Yoda, left early, and nearly fucked over the entire universe as a result.

    Pause while Erik & I have a minor debate about the plot of the movie.  To my horror, it becomes clear that Star Wars is actually a dated cultural reference, and it’s not nearly as cool to Erik’s generation as it was to mine or my parents’.  I think that’s because you guys saw the Star Wars remakes, and the prequels-

    Okay, yeah, we’re not here to talk about Star Wars – the point is, you can choose whatever language you need.

    You can talk about archetypes, enlightenment, ascended masters, wtf-ever, it doesn’t matter what words you choose because they’re HUMAN words, and we just don’t use that language (in heaven).  It’s all about translating these brain-downloads of understanding / expansion and those people are trying to use human words to share the feeling with other people who are seeking it out.  But what do you tell people about meditation?

    I tell them that they need to find something that’ll work for them, whether it’s walking in nature, dancing, exercising before they sit down to be still, focusing on a tactile sensation rather than using visualization techniques – just keep looking until you find something that works.

    Well it’s the same thing with language.  You get all puckered up when you think about the “ascended master” thing, but you’re fine when you think about the exact same concept using the words “jedi knight”!

    Well, I guess I’d trust a jedi knight, more than an ascended master.  The very definition of “ascended master” is someone who is high up/above, who has “mastered” something.  There’s this sense of separation and superiority, which I do not buy.  I’ve heard Jesus referred to as an ascended master, but I don’t think Jesus ever referred to himself as *anyone’s* master.  If that were true, does that mean he’s just done with his own expansion?  His only gig now is to help the rest of us?

    One of Erik’s friends on the other side gives me this visual:  there are cycles of completion.  Think of a fractal – one section of the fractal, when magnified, reveals many repetitions of the same pattern.  The same thing is shown when you “zoom out” to see a larger picture.  When a cycle of expansion is completed,  you have perfected the pattern in one section, this particular block of the snowflake.  There is expansion going on in the next level of the fractal, but that is not visible nor relevant to those of us working in this dimension.  Thank you for this, it’s very helpful. 

    Erik, who the eff is supervising you?  I heard reference to someone telling you to cut out the haunting pranks and start doing some good.  That thought irritated me to no end.

    Yeah, well, it’s not like (how you’re thinking about it, a teacher informing a student he needs to cut it out or he’ll get detention.)  It’s like this:  (shows me a teacher / guide / friend simply showing him the possible expansion and positive outcomes if he applied his energy in this other way – and it’s so amazing and huge how could you not do it?)

    I just said it like, I got the smack-down, because (it’s comforting to others) to (feel like he has some guidance, limits, supervision which is also a form of love.)

    Yeah, I get that.

    So you don’t need to take that personally, if the thought of me getting’ a talking to creeps you out about the afterlife, because *you* will not get any sort of treatment that’ll make you feel like how you’re feeling right now.  I just got it because I need/like it.  It works for me, it doesn’t work for you.  That’s just fine, girl!  You will be alright!

    I can’t believe you’re reassuring me about the afterlife, dude.  That’s my job!

    It’s so funny that I still have these little anxieties, eh?  I *know* intellectually that what you create on the other side is born from your own consciousness, what you need, what you expect.  Yet here I am, getting tripped up by this concept of rank, or someone being “in charge”.

    No one’s in charge of you but you, and you know they (his teachers/guides/friends) couldn’t make me do a single thing (if he wasn’t inclined to do it, out of his own motivation for expansion.)

    Thank you, Erik.  This has been a huge relief.

    Love you, babe!  Love you too, E.

    And I’m grateful and delighted that Erik didn’t give up his prankster ways.

    Me: Here’s a questions about you, Erik. How all knowing are you now? This is from a blog member, by the way. When you answer questions, to what extent is it your opinion or Universal Truth? Because you’re outside linear time, etc. and simply sees and knows more, this probably plays a factor.

    Erik (chuckling): Fuck that. You want Universal Truth? Just go talk to God.

    Me: Yeah.

    Erik: God, Itself—Not Himself, Itself—cuz that’s the only thing that doesn’t have a fucking filter. But as soon as you separate from God, you have then created your own filters.

    Me: Yeah, sure. That makes sense.

    Erik: Because this is how God gets to know Itself—through our eyes, our perception, and our experience. Now, angels, they haven’t done all the shit we’ve done, they have less of a filter. They’re more pure, you know, so they’re giving you way more accurate information. But for me, you know, I’m a bit of a ball buster, so if I see that you can stretch to get something done, I want you to do it.

    Me: No kiddin’.

    Erik: I’m not going to baby your ass and “Poor you; that’s horrible.” No. Fuck that shit. You hate it; change it. So, if you don’t like the way that I work, I’m really not going to be the best person to, you know, start sitting down and holding your hand and talking to you.

    Me: But you still love the blog members, right?

    Erik: Oh my god! Oh my god! I love them from head to toe!

    Me: Aw. I know you do. It shows. You work so hard for them.

    Erik: And I love all that other shit that revolves around them.

    Jamie: He makes it sound like each blog person is their own little planet, is their own little universe.

    Me: Aw.

    Erik: But those people are attracted to us, to blog, you know, because I’ve dropped all the shades of holding their hands and working through stuff. I truly believe that, no matter what their state of mind is, they have every capability of getting up and changing it. They don’t need to be coddled or bullshitted or babied. If I do that, instead of being truthful and direct, the work just doesn’t get done.

    Me: Sure.

    Erik: As for the question about how much is my personality—well, all of it is. It’s coming through me. It’s coming through my filters. How much is pure, all-knowing energy? Well—

    Jamie bursts out laughing.

    Jamie: Sorry. He just said, with a real serious face, there wasn’t anything funny about it. “I’m pretty damn good at what I do.” It made me laugh, just the way he said it!

    I start to laugh, too.

    Jamie: And he cocked his head a little bit, like, “You know, I’m throwing it out there. I’m pretty damn good at what I do.”

    Me: Aw! You are!

    Jamie: He’s really proud of it! He’s got something that he loves doing, you know, and he does the work. He does the research for us. He follows through. He’s so proud of himself.

    Me: You should be, Sweetie. We all are. We’re so grateful for what you do. You know that, right?

    Jamie: Aw, he’s reaching out to hug you. He’s got long sleeves today.

    Me (jokingly): Must be cold up there, huh?

    Jamie: White. Kind of reminds me of a surfer, uh it’s got a logo thing on it. It’s like dirty white with a blue thing on it. It’s either a—you know what? (She starts laughing.) I said, ‘It’s either surfing or a motorcycle on it,’ and he’s like, “You can’t fucking tell the difference, Jamie?” I pointed my finger and go, ‘You know what, you present yourself clearer, and I’ll be able to get more detail.”

    Me (giggling): Touché, Jamie!

    Jamie: But every now and then, he tugs to pull his sleeves down over his hands, like over his wrists, over his hands, and then when you said you were proud of him and everything, he like pulls the sleeves down and reaches his arms out like he’s about to hug you, like drop his arms over you to hug you.

    Me (tearing up): Aw! I can just see him do that.

    Jamie (choking up): He says, “Just because my mom’s so short. So little.” He wants to know if you still shop in the junior’s section.

    Me: Well, it’s not like you were exactly a behemoth, Erik! You’re no Sasquatch yourself!

    Erik (laughing): Don’t ruin my image, Mom! A lot of people think I’m larger than life!

    Me (laughing): But you’re definitely over a head taller than me! So, when you answer questions, to some extent, it is your opinion.

    Erik: Yeah, it’s definitely coming through my filters, but I’m basing it on what the pure answer is.

    Me: Ah, I see!

    Erik: What’s amazing is if I sit down and translate it as the pure answer as is, a lot of people would just turn their head and wonder what the fuck I just said to them.

    Me: Yeah.

    Erik: Cuz it’s not a good human language at all. It’s a great pure energetic language, but humans aren’t all there at the pure energetic level yet, so I gots to dumb it down.

    Me: Yeah, we have to be able to relate to it.

    Erik: Yeah!

    Me: And you sort of have a more human quality about you instead of entities like Archangel Michael. Sorry Archangel Michael! I’m so sorry! I love you! Please don’t smite me! But Erik, people relate to you more. And it obviously helps the fact that you’re outside linear time so you can see and know more, right?

    Erik: Yeah, sure.

    Me: Okay. Anything else on this subject?

    Erik: No. You got it.

    Me: Okay. Thanks, Sweetie.

    Sorry about the site being down, guys! My reminders to renew my domain name was somehow filtered to skip the inbox, to never go to spam, and to be forwarded to an old address of Kristina’s.

    Me: Some people have said that you give some conflicting information on things like on palmistry, but when I looked back on the post, that doesn’t seem true. You say that there’s validation in all techniques. In palmistry, it’s not so much the lines as it is in the hand shape, etc. Anyway, there might be conflicting information that you give, Erik somewhere or another. Tell me about that. Is it because you are learning and growing, or are you always right? Are you omniscient?

    Jamie (giggling): He’s laughing right now.

    Erik: No, I’m not omniscient. Sometimes people can take what they want and change it and run with it, so…

    Me: What? What do you mean?

    Erik: Humans. You know, the free will thing. So like, I can say a bunch of shit that’s about to happen and tell it to someone and they listen to it they go, “No, that’s fucked up. I don’t like it. I’m not doing it.” And they just totally shut down. That just screws up all the shit I just told them. So, then it proves them right, and they say, “Oh, he was wrong anyway.” You get my point? I’m not omniscient. I’m a guide. I’m going to tell you shit that’s going to work best, especially if it’s in your best interest, but you can take it and go somewhere else with it. When it’s something about like a story where it doesn’t –

    Jamie: I was like, ‘Oo, give us an example! I don’t know what you’re talking about.’

    I chuckle.

    Jamie: His example is –

    (Pause)

    Jamie (to Erik): So like a history buff. (Pause) Don’t get mad! I just wanna know.

    I giggle softly.

    Jamie: Sassy!

    Me: Uh oh!

    Jamie chuckles at Erik’s unexpected reaction.

    Jamie: It was such a complicated example! I couldn’t follow it, and he was like, “God, Jamie!” He told me to wake up. He told me I didn’t have enough coffee. He threw so much stuff at me!

    Me: Oh, that’s one of my questions!

    Jamie: Coffee?

    Me: Yeah, baby! Love it.

    Erik: Coffee is good for some people, and it’s crappy for others.

    Me: Wait. We’re not there yet. Let’s finish this one.

    Erik: Okay, ‘kay, ‘kay. I don’t know EVERYTHING. I just know what’s best or what should happen or what should be as someone’s guide. There are so many alternate universes and possibilities. People have free will. If you’re saying, for example, it’s already happened and you ask the question based on something that has already occurred and I tell you something but you do the research, you do whatever and you come back and you say it’s wrong, well, fuck yeah, it could be wrong, but you could also look at your question, because most of the time human questions suck. They’re not thorough. They lead to the wrong idea or suggestion and so your put the blame on me, which is a bunch of bullshit.

    Me: Aw! Poor baby!

    Erik (in jest): It’s hard to work with the dummies.

    Me: What about the things that are sort of black and white like, “Does bigfoot exist”? What if you were to say no one time and yes months later? That would be conflicting. That would have nothing to do with free will.

    Erik: Well, the first person probably asked, “Do they exist in third dimension? Do they exist on Earth?” Well, really, they don’t, but sometimes they blend in to a third dimension universe. They are creatures. They do exist, but we have a multidimensional earthly plane. So, if you were asking about Earth, as it is, hell no, those things don’t exist and breed on Earth like that.

    Me: Okay. What if someone asks you, “Are mermaids mythical creatures?” You said yes with one channel—that they’re interdimensional creatures and do exist, but you said and no with another channel. In other words, are you ever wrong about things like that?

    Erik: Oh, sure. I could be wrong.

    Me: Okay. I mean, just to, uh, really, when you think about it, you are a guy that just doesn’t happen to have a body who, unlike us, can tap into this vast web or universe of information for us, right?

    Erik: Yes. By the way, mermaids aren’t real.

    Me: Oh, okay.

    Erik: Nor are unicorns.

    Me: Ah, too bad.

    Erik: Sasquatch. It is a creature. Doesn’t live in the third dimensional plane like humans. No. That’s why you fucking can’t find ‘em, but you can find their shit sometimes.

    Me: I know. We talked about that. I remember you saying that they sometimes come to our dimension for brief periods of time.

    Aha! So, the truth is out; Erik doesn’t know it all! And he’s okay with that.

    Remember what Erik said about communicating with loved ones within the 12-15 Hz range? Read this form blog member, Pauline!

    Hi Elisa!
     
    Just want to share with you, had a very beautiful session with Jamie last night (as a birthday gift to myself), and we tackled on how I can better receive messages with my guides/angels. Reading your previous post, I googled 12-15 hertz, and found out that 12-15 hertz is actually called SMR sensory motor rhythm brainwave or low beta frequency.
     
    You can download binaural beats online with SMR. Or iTunes! There are several 30minute run time of binaural beats SMR.  
     

    SMR (Sensorimotor Response) or Low Beta Brainwaves

    Note: Sensorimotor response is also known as Sensory Motor Response, Sensorimotor rhythm, and many other terms.

    Description of  SMR

    Some neurotherapists have observed that SMR brain wave frequencies make individuals feel more present, and in the moment.

    “Low Beta (12-15 Hz), formerly ‘SMR’:
    Distribution:
     localized by side and by  lobe (frontal, occipital, etc)

    Subjective feeling states: relaxed [?] yet focused, integrated
    Associated tasks & behaviors: low SMR can reflect ‘ADD’,  lack of focused attention
    Physiological correlates: is inhibited by motion; restraining body may increase SMR
    Effects of Training: increasing SMR can produce relaxed focus, improved attentive abilities,”

    Brainwaves and the EEG: The Language of the Brain

    Physiological Effects of SMR

    “What Sterman had done by teaching the cats to produce SMR, he would come to realize, was to strengthen their brain function at the sensory motor strip, the same way a person builds muscle mass by repeatedly lifting weights. (Page 42)”

    Book: Robbins, Jim. A Symphony in the Brain. Grove Press, 2000.  

    Vigilance

    “The animal entered a unique state–it remained absolutely still, though extremely alert, waiting for the tone to end. It is the same state a house cat waits in, feigning heavy-lidded indifference, as a bird makes its way near enough to be pounced on.(P.  39)”

    Book: Robbins, Jim. A Symphony in the Brain. Grove Press, 2000.

    Immobility

    SMR is inhibited by motion; restraining body may increase SMR.  

    “[making a conscious effort to see clearly] is commonly accompanied by some degree of immobility of the eyes and body. The rate of blinking decreases; breathing  becomes shallower and may, for a while, even stop. Themuscles of the head, neck, shoulders, and perhaps other parts of the body too, may be unnaturally tensed, and all the time the eyes are fixed with increasing intentness on their target. As the eyes become fixed so does the attention, which only encourages the eyes to become yet more fixed, with a resulting impairment of both vision and perception.(P. 59)”
    Thanks for the time and effort in your daily posts! Cannot wait for the next one! My love to you, Erik and Jamie.

     
    Sincerely,
    Pauline
    Forgot to mention that my guides confirmed that binaural beats SMR low beta frequency will enable you to communicate with them, or loved ones on the other side better :)
    Here’s a download. It’s only 8 minutes but you can repeat it. 12-15 HZ BINAURAL BEATS
    Thanks, Pauline!

    Talk about synchronicity. Someone brought to my attention that today is George Harrison’s death anniversary. As I recall, I “coincidentally” posted John Lennon’s interview on his birthday. Ya just can’t make this stuff up.

    Now, Erik is going to play the teacher and show us how to see our deceased loved ones. May I suggest you do this in solitude rather than in public. As you will see, if you were to practice these techniques in a busy mall or grocery store, you’d be hauled off to the looney bin n shot order.

    Me: Can we learn to see things differently, like training our brains to slow down our perception of that high vibration so, for example, we can see the wings of a hummingbird in flight at a complete standstill? I mean, is there some way that we can do that so that we can see our deceased loved ones who are not visible to us because they’re vibrating at a frequency that’s just too far above our visual spectrum?

    Erik: Yes.

    Me: Oh, okay. So, we need to make software that will help us train our brains to do that. That’d be so cool.

    Erik: Well, there’s other tricks as well such as blinking your eyes very fast when you’re looking at an object that’s vibrating or moving really fast.

    Me: Oh, yeah!

    I grimace as my cat tilts her head with concern as she watches me flutter my eyelids.

    Erik: It takes snapshots, and because the eye is shutting off and turning on, it doesn’t allow the pupil to dilate the way it needs to and to let bursts of light in that’d be too much. The eye can’t quickly adjust to it when you’re blinking fast.

    Me: Hm!

    Erik: This allows too much light in. Blinking will help you see subtle energies, but it does depend on the quality of light as well.

    Me: So—

    Erik: Also, fluorescent lights tend to help—

    (Long pause)

    Me: Tend to help what?

    Jamie (giggling): Oh. Sorry! Did we just stop talking? Is that what happened?

    Jamie and I chuckle.

    Jamie: I was telling him, ‘Yeah I teach my classes, and I’m actually teaching a class today in seeing auras and energies and spirits.’

    Me: So cool!

    Jamie: And I tell the story about how I used to go to the meat department in the grocery stores, because the light was so bad in the meat department, it made it easier for me to see people’s auras.

    Me: Hm!

    Jamie: And so I would stand there and pretend to shop for meat even though I was a vegetarian and look at people’s energetic fields.

    Erik: It’s the quality of light.

    Jamie: I like the eye blinking thing. I don’t teach that.

    Me: Yeah. Wouldn’t want you going around the meat market fluttering your eyes.

    Jamie: I could just hear them. “Excuse me ma’am. Can I help you?”

    We both belly laugh.

    Jamie: ‘No, thank you.’

    Erik: And training to look at subtle color, subtle vibration is getting yourself to—

    Jamie (to Erik): I know, right?

    She continues to translate.

    Erik: Getting yourself calm.

    (Long pause)

    Jamie: He just said two things I said in my class and I said, ‘Erik, are you saying that because it’s what I teach? Like, are you in my head or is that your way of …’

    Erik: Well, you need to find some kind of technique where you can unfocus your eyes while still looking at something. You know, fuzz them out when you stare or like when you stare at a star in the sky and all the other stars disappear.

    Me: Oh yeah. Okay.

    Erik: That kind of staring technique—but you’re focused on one element and the rest just kind of fuzzes away. Do that on an inanimate object. Something that has color. You know, you can create a program that does this on the computer where it gives you a shape and you have to look at it, and while you’re staring at it, take your eyes kind of around the perimeter of the item or the shape a few times and then kind of come back to the center. Then you’ll start seeing a glow. Most people see a white glow, and some people will see color.

    Me: You mean notice the perimeter with your brain rather than moving your eyes around it?

    Erik: No, you can actually move your eyes around the perimeter but still keep them in that unfocused state. It’s exactly what you have to do with those Magic Eye pictures.

    Me: See, those Magic Eye pictures never work on me, because one of my eyes doesn’t converge properly since I had amblyopia as a kid.

    Erik: But it’s the same kind of technique, because once you get into the 3-D image you look around and you can see the 3-D image. You don’t have to stay focused right in the center. So if you just look—take your eyes and have them follow the whole perimeter of the item then come back to center, you’ll start seeing that glow. But then, here’s where you gotta teach yourself what the mirroring effect is.

    Jamie (to Erik): Begins with a G? What are you talking about? Ganzer? Ga-ga, not gator. Go Gators!

    She’s a Florida girl. Guess she felt compelled.

    Jamie: I have such a tickle in my throat for the last 40 minutes.

    (She clears her throat.)

    Jamie (irritated): Can’t get it to stop!

    (She clears her throat again.)

    Me: Drink some water.

    Jamie: I just tried that, and it just made it tickle more.

    Erik: So, once you figure out if you’re not seeing the complementary color of the object you’re looking at—

    Me: Okay.

    Erik: If you’re looking at a red pen and you see a green glow, then you can just scientifically tell yourself, “Well, that’s the mirroring effect. My eyes are just playing a trick on me.” But if you’re looking at a green pen and you see a blue glow, then that shit ain’t the mirroring effect.

    Me: Right.

    Erik: Whereas if you see a yellow glow, you have to say to yourself you’re picking up the subtle energy. And then try it on live creatures. Live creatures have a bigger energetic field, and you’ll see many layers of glow.

    Me: Okay,

    Erik: It just comes with practice. It’s teaching your eyes that they don’t have to look at the surface of something.

    Me: Yes, but the seeing the deceased who are vibrating at such a high rate that they’re well outside the visual range on the electromagnetic spectrum—

    (I also clear my throat.)

    Jamie: You too?

    Me: Yeah, you got me feeling your tickle. Thanks.

    Jamie giggles.

    Erik: You can use this same technique to see the spirits. You just tell us, ”Sit down in that chair over there,” you know. “Stand against that wall right here, and I’m going to sit down and I’m gonna look atcha.”

    (Pause)

    Erik: But nobody does that shit because everyone is gonna think you’re crazy for doing it: crazy for practicing and crazy for believing that the spirits are going to listen to them and obey them and sit in a chair or stand against a wall. That’s total bullshit. We would have done it while we were alive; we’d definitely do it when we’re dead. Then, once they start seeing the silhouette or the splotches of color, they think they’re fucked up because they’re seeing it! So, you can’t win for doing and you can’t win for succeeding here. It’s cuz of the stupid brain.

    Jamie giggles.

    Erik: Cuz of judgment.

    Me: Analytical crap. Okay, so is it better in fluorescent light then?

    Erik: Yeah, it’s easier because it helps the eye not be able to focus exactly clearly on the material item.

    Me: All right. Is it better if the light level is lower, higher or what?

    Erik: Nah, that’s going to be a personal preference.

    Me: Okay.

    Erik: For me, I like it when the lights are bright, like they’re really on.  That gives more reflection off my vibrational body.

    Me: Okay. Is it better to use a dark background, a light background?

    Erik: White. Yeah, go to a white background.

    Me: Okay.

    Jamie: That makes sense, because then you’d be able to identify exactly what color it is.

    Me: Yes exactly.

    Erik: If you’re doing a dark background, then you just need to go completely dark. No lights. Dark background. That puts you in the setting of like a psychomanteum.

    Me: Would it also help to flutter your eyelids fast during that exercise, too?

    Erik: Yeah, yeah, yeah!

    That would take a whole world of coordination and rhythmic skills I don’t and will never have. 

    Jamie: I’m going to try that in my class today. I’m going to have my students do that. See if it works.

    Me: While we’ve been talking, my eyes and eyelids have been doing all sorts of crazy things. I’m so glad nobody’s looking through the window. They’d never be the same. 

    We all chuckle at the thought. Well, there’s my poor cat, though.

    Me: God, we started with hummingbird wings.

    Jamie: We’ve been all over the place, haven’t we?

    Me: Yes, we have!

    Just a reminder: If you want to talk to a deceased love one or ask Erik about your spiritual mission, your past lives, health, career, relationship issues or more, there’s a small group channeling call coming up next week. Here’s the link:

    https://withloveandlight.com/shop/channeling-erik-conference-call-out-126/

    On a sad, personal note, my daughter’s beloved dog, Winnie, has gone missing since Thanksgiving Eve. We’ve combed the area for hours, put our a Pet Amber Alert, called the City of Houston Solid Waste Department to see if she was picked up dead in the road, went to all the animal control and animal shelters, the SPCA, CAPs, etc. We put over 75 posters at intersections. Eventually, we got in touch with Jamie and Erik says she was picked up by an effeminate man. He justified his actions as “saving her from irresponsible owners.” Sadly, Winnie had a tag with Kristina’s address and cell number so it would have been easy to do the right thing. Sigh. We’re just devastated.

    On that note, I’d like to share a song from blog members Kent and Cindy Lehman’s band, Eclectic Verve. Kent wrote song when his cat of 19 years died in his arms. Some people don’t understand how much our animal companions mean to us. They’re a part of the family–and often the ones that are the most unconditionally loving and bring the least drama.

    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.

    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.

    Thanks, Substitute teacher, for the AWESOME post today. I’m just a tag-a-long mostly because the callers for Thursday’s conference call eagerly await the download link for the recording which I have at the end of the post.

    Before we start, I’d like to ask you all to email me if you’re going to the San Diego event. I really, really, really need to get a head count so Jamie can make the materials including the Ouija boards, etc. If you haven’t registered, please do so by going to the Love & Light icon on the sidebar. If you haven’t decided whether you’re going, just take a leap of faith and do something for yourself. Your soul is screaming for this. This is all SUPER, SUPER important. My email is emedhus@gmail.com.

    Blog member and medium extraordinaire, Jason, is a very good friend of Erik’s. In fact they were twins in a past life. The other day, Jason shared a couple of channeling practice sessions he and Erik had. I’ll copy and paste them here. They’re hilarious. I’ll also post the conference call from Thursday.

    Channeling practice with Erik and Friends:

    As some of you who have known me over the past few years know, I like to get together with my guides, spirit friends and Erik (aka: the gang) and practice channeling. Mind’s eye (clairvoyance) and mind speech/thought (subjective-clairaudience). Every now and then I like to try to ask friends and fellow CE readers to take part as well. Kind of like a group game. It can be a lot of fun to see how spirit translates meaning into different symbols, images and words/thought and still maintain message themes.

    Usually we’ll have a topic, theme or symbol and we’ll ask those in Spirit to give us mind’s eye visuals about it. Then we will record the experience and share with each other. Here are two examples from yesterday and this morning. The first one was between Nikki and I, and her Dad who is in Spirit. The second one was with a friend of mine and what Erik M. gave me on the bus this morning. See below:

    *A practice assignment is to connect with Dad about a life theme:
    Today’s theme is “Love vs Fear”

    Step one:
    Go to a space where you won’t be interrupted for 5-10 min. *(note: in this instance I don’t do any formal connection techniques-although you can- because I am only practicing for me with my guides/family)

    Step two:
    Visualize an empty space in your head. Describe it in writing

    Nikki: A big tree with a white bench beneath it, gravel area underneath, beautiful flowers around the perimeter

    Jason: Hard to do sometimes these days. Sometimes there is a lot of freakin people in there.

    Step three:
    Visualize Dad in it by himself. Describe it and him

    Nikki: sitting on the bench in shorts and collared shirt, belt on, glasses on reading a paper or book. Seems to be waiting for me.

    Jason:  I think I’ve been messed with. I am only getting a disembodied bald dudes head. Like a floating bobbing head rocking side to side like an snl skit, big ass grin. . freaky

    Step four:
    Treat that image as Dad and separate from you. Kind of up, out, and away from you, as if you were viewing either in the room with him, or from a distance.  Hold that image in your mind’s eye and then “think AT it” as if you were talking to him.

    Step five:
    Ask him to show you a visual of “Self Love”
    Write down any and everything that you see, hear, feel, think, or sense as and with the knowing it’s from him.

    Nikki:  various images of me doing this alone. Walking along the beach thinking at spirits and angels, me running, me dancing, me on my wedding day in my dress. me as a little girl FULL of love.

    Jason  : I saw an image of my childhood bedroom in minute detail. It’s in the middle of the night, with the moon light creating ambient light. I am sitting up in bed, with the covers over and around me. There is a horrific screeching sound. The closet at the foot of my bed slowly creaks open and its empty dark, scary, and the only thing in it is on the floor. It’s a hamster cadge with a lone wheel in it turning around and around and around, and nothing is in it. ha ha…

    Due date: Bedtime… To be reviewed in the pm or tomorrow morning.
    Next assignment will be up to you!

    *****Next practice exercise*******

    Practice assignment is to connect with Erik m. about a life theme:
    Today’s theme is “Self Love”

    So I repeated this assignment with a friend of mine who also is a CE reader. Only this time, the topic was “Self Love”. Only this time, we were connecting to Erik M.   My co-participant got a lot of visuals of her pets, cats, which was pretty cool. I can totally see how our dogs and cats help us learn about love.

    I myself was having a hard time with the exercise, because I was getting a really weird visual from Erik M. They were so odd, I thought it was just me and my weird experiences from the previous night messing up my clairvoyant vision. Erik was being kind of perverse and I didn’t know what was going on and if I wanted to blog about it. So I waited until this morning on the bus to hook up with Erik and find out what that was all about.

    So, I followed the same steps as I mentioned above.
    Only this time, I saw Erik m., standing in the dark gray clouds of my mind’s eye. Then he showed me his hand with a white sock over it. That’s all I saw. His hand. – Sock. And he would move it around. And then started clowning around started making dirty gestures with it.

    ‘yeah…right!….. give me a break- Erik!’……
    I just looked at him and gave him a funny look and said,
    “Ummm what the hell are you doing?…. you better not be showing me anything gross… are you being perverted?”

    And then he started giggling and snickering, and then he started acting as if the sock over the hand was a puppet! A sock puppet! Like kids play with. He was making it have a mouth and making it talk.  He laughs at me… and then pulls it off and shows him hugging me, and say’s “just kidding”.

    He then said,
    “The sock images and impressions were spot on in both cases. They were analogies for Self love and loving others. Self love without shame, guilt, or worry over what others think “    He said,   “If you cant give yourself permission to find enjoyment, comfort, pleasure in life, you’re gonna have trouble loving others without the same guilt, shame, and worry you attach to yourself. And I don’t just mean sexual or physical. It’s always wrapped up in the emotional….., physical with emotional….self love, is always wrapped up in multiple things,   just like a sock over a hand. On the surface it is one thing, but underneath on multiple levels it can be other things……On the one hand, (he holds up his hand with a sock) …if you cant love yourself, you think your not worthy of it, you think you don’t deserve it,  that its wrong, and selfish, a sin,… so your just a puppet, you’re coverin yourself up. Hiding behind closed doors, or doing something you think is foolish….And on the other hand…. (he shows me another sock hand)….because your all covered up, your hauling around all this baggage,… you’re not lookin at the real you, youre coverin it up, cant see what you have,…. so you cant touch, connect or put yourself out there to share yourself with others. Your putting a barrier between you and them…..more ways than one…..like this hand with a sock over it…. (laughs)….In one hand, (shows me the hand again)….drop the guilt, drop the judgment, drop the lack of worth, and just love yourself. In the other hand, (shows me the hand and makes puppet motions) …let yourself play, be happy, be silly, and have fun. Enjoy. Then take that sock off and look at your skin. Feel comfortable with it, and know what you do have and that you value it. Then you’ll be in a better spot to share it, reach out, and touch someone. love you, love them.”

    **********************************************************
**********************************************************
    On a side note. Nikki had no idea that I was doing a second exercise with Erik. Or that the topic was self love. During her run this morning, She channeled her dad and he said this to her out of the blue;  She told me this after I’d talked to Erik, ……a co-inky-dink?? hmmm…. :)
    From Dad in Spirit:  —-  A message on Self love : “It’s Being proud and Content with all that you do and knowing you did the very best you could. Laughing at your own mistakes and failures, finding time to do what brings you joy, Remembering you are the perfect you” ***

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

    Channeling practice with Friends: (AKA: spooky Pictionary and some woowoo junk)
Cont….

     Instructions:
Today’s theme is ” insert theme   “

    Step one:
Go to a space where you won’t be interrupted for 5-10 min. *(note: in this instance I don’t do any formal connection techniques-although you can- because I am only practicing for me with my guides/family)

    Step two: 
Visualize an empty space in your head. Describe it in writing

    Step three: 
Visualize Spirit of your choice in the space by their self. Describe it.

    Step four: 
Treat that image as the Spirit and separate from you. Kind of, up, out, and away from you, as if you were viewing either in the room with them, or from a distance.  Hold that image in your mind’s eye and then “think AT it” as if you were talking to them.

    Step five: 
Ask the Spirit to show you a visual of “ insert theme  ”
Write down any and everything that you see, hear, feel, think, or sense as and with the knowing it’s from them.

    Session #1  With Erik (Jason and a CE buddy hook up with Erik m.) 
October 18-19, 2012
Theme:  (“What 80s cartoon character am I?”)

    **OK Erik!  Tell or show us what 80′s cartoon character you are!! **

    Jason here.– My good friend got a hold of Erik and had the following to say about her experience:

    “(laughing)  He picked Superman first but I was like, “I don’t think superman was an 80s cartoon character…” and so then he went with Ninja Turtles, which is still questionable but since I remember playing ninja turtles on the playground in kindergarten (89 – 90) I suppose I’ll give it to him.”

     Jason’s reply. –
Well first it was gi joe, but then he changed it as we goofed off with each other. Usually our interactions devolve as if we were both 5 year olds or something. You know, rocks, sling shots, water fights, mental feats of one-up-manship. He always wins, unless he lets me….sigh.. In any case, He at first said,

    “GI Joe. I am the all american joe….” –And showed me images of him in green fatigues and parachute pants, boots, parachute back pack, guns, a berret. But I told him that was so boring. — Then in my minds eye he kinda melted or faded away and morphed into The Increadable Hulk. You know ripping bursting clothes all green and muscles. And he leaped up in my minds eye face and yelled, “Hulk! Hulk smash! RAWWHHRRRHH!!…”

    I looked at him, made a face and said, 
”Don’t you think that’s kind of obnoxious and violent?”

    And he replied by showing me, “Hulk jumped up in my face again and stuck out a big slobbering tounge and licked my face chin to forehead trailing spit!” and then he jumped back laughing like a crazy man!

    
At which point I just looked at him increadulously and watched as his “hulkness”  transformed into a halloween costume and he pulled the mask off an asked me, what I was going as for halloween. He showed me a visual of him and me as little kids. And thinking of that mindset, my inner kid said I dunno… maybe darth vader or a creepy witch… and he smiled wryly and said, “you mean Bitch?”…. sigh…..Halloween dress up jokes.

    I then said… OK… Erik… Any messages?  

    To which he replied with… “HULK SPIT!…. grreeeeennnnn looogiessss…raaahhhhh!”
Visual of screaming running kids w jason.  He then said, 
”U know, hulks finger would never fit in his nose so no hulk boogers.  Be grateful..” ..(grin, while cocking his head, arching his brow, and rubbing his hands together.)


    My Buddy’s Reply:

    See, I was looking for a classic like GI Joe – that’s totally 80s.  Incredible Hulk? Lou Ferrigno has been busting out of his shirt since 1978!  That is SO pre-80s… I mean I get it, he was a 90s kid. He probably grew up on Nickelodian and ehy, that’s cool, but come on. You’re in the spirit world with infinite perspective and no time…. you could come up with SOMETHING. lol  80′s purist. lol

    Jason’s reply:
Well… technically your visuals were also 80′s… I clearly remember watching superfriends with superman in several different variations in the 80′s.

    Thanks for the practice session!! It was a ton of fun!… Until next time!!

    For more from Jason’s site, I encourage you to check it out via the link on my sidebar.

    Here’s the link for the conference call. Click and it will download to your desktop as an mp3 file. Enjoy.

    NOTE: WE WILL BE TRANSFERRING TO A DIFFERENT SERVER SO THERE MIGHT NOT BE A POST TOMORROW. :(

    This weekend Erik pulled a couple of pranks on us just before we left on a family camping trip to Austin. The first one: While we were watching cable TV, the wireless access point went out. I did all sorts of things to fix it. Nothing. Finally, I noticed that the lights were off on the unit. I figured the surge protector was tripped, but the weather was clear so that didn’t make sense. Anyway I crawled under the kneehole of the computer desk, and guess what I found? The wireless unit was completely unplugged. Mind you, we were all in the den watching TV when the cable went out, so nobody was in the computer room. Erik must have had his work cut out for him, because it takes a lot of strength to pull that plug out.

    Now the second one is even cooler. We were loading the truck with our camping supplies going back and forth from the garage to the kitchen, and when we were finished, we closed the door when we were finished so we could set the alarm. Just after we closed it, the deadbolt slowly turned into the locked position. I guess Erik didn’t want us to leave without him!

    I’ve really been missing his pranks lately. That and the fact that I get knee deep into the blog and forget to purge my grief makes me struggle a bit, so these two naughty events made me smile. Now let’s see what Erik says about animal extinction. Being anthropocentric, we don’t often think about animals.

    Me: Now a lot of people are worried about, during The Shift, you mentioned that some animals will become extinct. Basically here’s the question: “Why do some animals become extinct?”

    Erik: This has been happening for a long time.

    Me: Yeah, I know!

    Erik: It’s still happening. Why do they go extinct? Because the environment can’t sustain them anymore. Part of it is we, as humans, are fucking it up, and part of it is because of the solar flares. It could be the ozone layer. You know, we’re all in it together.

    Me: Well, what about before we were even around? Some animals did go extinct then.

    Erik: Thank god those dinosaurs went extinct!

    Jamie giggles.

    Me: Yeah, well that’s true.

    Jamie (still giggling): Glad to see you so happy, Erik.

    Erik: Again, that was because the environment couldn’t sustain them anymore. I mean, as humans we’re doing pretty damn good in trying to dampen the weather patterns and other things. We put out fires. Forests are used to—they’re trained over thousands and thousands of years to have a cleansing period where they get burnt to the ground.

    Me: Um hm.

    Erik: But hell, we’ve built our house in the forest so we can’t let that shit happen.

    Me: I know.

    Erik: So, right then and there a lot of the seeds and the structures of plant life are used to being burnt crispy to help them adapt to what the nature is, and they’re not being, you know, allowed that cycle. It’s only in the last twenty years that we’ve realized that burn cycles are important. So, we do controlled burning. Man, you and I, we’ve gotta give a huge shout out to all of the people in the fires right now. 

    Me: Yeah, that’s true. We’re learning. We’re learning. On the other hand, animals that do become extinct are just not on the earthly plane. It’s not like they don’t exist anywhere. They’re just in another dimension. So, we pull at our heartstrings and feel guilty because of our perception of death.

    Erik: Right.

    Me: So, what’s wrong with them going extinct?

    Erik: Well, what’s wrong with that is we lose that role that they contributed to the environment.

    Me: I see. I understand. Well, along the same lines, here’s another question from a reader: “My heart aches for the animals. Erik says we should go green, and I agree with him, but will that be possible when most animals will be gone? Nature behaves interdependently. Won’t the soil be ruined when the myriad of tiny organisms are no longer there to do their job? And what about rivers, lakes and seas and oceans? How sad it is to know that my lifetime struggles to save this planet as we know it with the amazing variety of life that it has onboard will disappear. My question for Erik would be, if he can tell us, if the animals will be coming back sometime in the future or not and what their future will be like in Heaven meaning if they’ll evolve or not.”

    Erik: Many of the species on Earth are evolving, and we even have new evolutionary strikes with animals.

    Me: Evolutionary what?

    Jamie: He calls it growth, like they’re striking out and they’re evolving, getting different—

    (Pause)

    Jamie giggles.

    Jamie: Getting different phalanges? That’s such a funny word!

    Me: Different fingers?

    Erik: Yeah, different shaped fingers in certain animals like sloths.

    Me: Okay.

    Erik: So, they are continuing to evolve; they’re not standing still, They’re better survivors than we are, because we’ve adapted ourselves to controlled environments.

    Me: Oh, yeah.

    Erik: So, those who pass over, whether from extinction or individual deaths, their souls do survive in Heaven. You just remember that you’re part of it.

    Me: Um hm.

    Jamie: He never shows me—

    (Pause)

    Jamie: I’m sorry. I asked a question, “Will Earth be barren?” You know, kind of like Mars or something.

    Me: Um hm.

    Jamie: And he never shows that image to me.

    Me: Well, that’s good!

    Jamie: As far as he knows, it never gets like a desert, barren.

    Me: Will humans be on Earth forever?

    Erik: We’ll always learn how to adapt, because we create controlled environments.

    Me: Okay. Anything else on this subject?

    Erik: Nah.

    Me (chuckling): Nah.

    Before we close, I have a couple of announcements. First, I’d like to remind particularly the newbies that E. J. Daniel and Erik would like to offer you a free download of their novel, Just Sayin’! There are no strings attached. That’s how the CE family rolls, you know. So, if you want to read the novel that Erik (in part) channels to blog member, Betty, email her at ejdaniel@q.com. NOTE THAT IT’S Q.COM NOT G.COM! If you haven’t read the prequel, Second Chances, please request that as well. Their both short reads and excellent. Erik and Betty are very proud of their work.

    Paul was so very touched by all of your heartfelt comments from yesterday’s post. He did want to say that the link I provided for his artwork was not functioning, so I changed it in that entry. It’s http://growingintothemystery.net/2012/01/17/first-some-art-2/

    As for the San Diego event, I want to thank everyone for their patience! Jamie’s assistant, Weedie, should be giving me all the information any day now: the event agenda, the costs, the hotel information, etc.

    Also, I think it would be very healing to have a channeling conference call just for grieving parents. We can limit it to a handful of people so it can be a very intimate group. If you’re interested, please email at emedhus@gmail.com, and I’ll ask Jamie if she can do that for us.

    Last but not least, we’re going to be channeling Buddha Friday. I don’t know much about his life, so I’m wondering if any of you would like to submit interview questions. If so, could you email them to me to the email address listed above? Thanks!

    Okay, Erik’s chomping at the bit, as we say in Texas, so let’s unleash him.

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

    Me: Do our loved ones think about us, or have they moved on and we’re just a memory?

    (Pause)

    Jamie: Erik, don’t say that.

    Erik: Wouldn’t it be fucked up if we just said: Hell no. When you die, you totally move on, because that shit is old.

    Me: Erik! That’d be awful!

    Erik: No, we think about them all the time, because we still have the choice of seeing them, and for the first time—I hope every reader understands this—when you let go of life and you cross into a higher dimensional plane—Heaven—

    Jamie (chuckling): He pauses. He’s like, “Fuck Heaven.”

    Me: Yeah, because he likes to call it Home.

    Erik: It’s for the first time, you look back on the relations you had, and they’re healed on your part. They’re healed. There’s no pull; there’s no fight; there’s no ugliness. It turns out all good. It’s a great Christmas wish, really. Sorry to the other religions there. That was just a shout out to the Catholics.

    Jamie and I laugh.

    Erik: Okay, you can use birthday—a nice birthday gift. I’m really enjoying the variety of people that are on the blog, because it’s really not just one denomination.

    Me: Oh, no. Oh my god, we have all sorts.

    Jamie: He’s just so proud of that.

    Me: Probably not too many atheists, though.

    Erik: Not many, no.

    Me: When you guys watch us from Heaven, do you wish you were with us?

    Erik (laughing): Not all the time!

    Me (laughing): I guess not! But if you did wish, you would be with us. Well, do spirits feel sad? Is there ever sadness or loneliness in Heaven?

    Erik: Only if you want it. You can only special order it for yourself.

    Me: Why would anybody want that! Is it just to feel a sense of separation that they don’t usually feel there? 

    Erik: I don’t know. Some people are fucked in the head here, too. Seriously, it’s more of—they’ve been shown the lesson and every possibility to heal, but there might be that one thing that kind of slips back to them and they feel sad about it.

    Me: Oh!

    Erik: And normally that will heal when the person who’s still living passes over and they can have a clear communication together, and then often if that person finds a medium or a psychic or whatever they call themselves, they can go to them, and then the spirit can heal in that way and let go of it.

    Me: So, sometimes it’s the deceased loved one that needs to communicate through a medium to heal. 

    Erik: Yes. That’s often the way it goes.

    Me: I always thought it was the other way around.

    Erik: Well, yeah. That’s because you’re there. You don’t see our side of the fence. 

    Me: I guess not. Okay. here’s one. Are bad emotions like jealousy and bitterness gone in Heaven? I guess that’s pretty much along the same lines.

    Erik: Yeah, it’s along the same lines. If you want it, you can special order it for yourself, but it doesn’t trigger anybody else in spirit.

    Me: Probably on the dollar menu, huh?

    Erik: It’s totally on the dollar menu! You know what’s kind of fucked up though is —I don’t know if you wanna spill this, but I kind of like your “all honesty policy,” Mom. So, let’s say that I’m jealous or I’m angry. Then the person I’m hanging out with in spirit won’t feel it. They can see that I’m having those emotions, but they won’t feel it. It just doesn’t translate that way. Now, if I’m hanging with a live dude on Earth, they can feel it. I can totally fuck up the way that they’re feeling on Earth.

    Me: Oh, no!

    Erik: But that’s like what we were saying on several occasions when we do mini-readings or lessons that the son or the daughter who passed away or the family member trying to communicate; that human can feel that loved one there. If it’s a negative emotion, it sometimes just fucks them up even more instead of making them feel good.

    Me: Sometimes I feel grief when you’re around, Erik. I feel your presence and then the grief washes over me. But I try to mitigate that by thinking, ‘Oh hi. Erik; how are you doing? I know you’re around and I love you; I’m happy for you and I’m proud of you.’ It transmutes the grief into joy. Not complete joy, but a little bit.

    Erik: That sucks because normally we’re there to really help, but 

    Me: Yeah, but once you know that your loved one’s energy is causing the grief and then you feel the goosebumps on some part of your body, that helps. But for people who don’t realize that connection it must really suck. You’re right.

    Erik: Yeah, and they go through these fits of odd emotions, and they think they’re fucked in the head and they get medicine and…

    Me: Oh God.

    Erik: Spiritualists, scientists and physicians really should be all together in the same boat. They shouldn’t be divided anymore.

    Me: I know; I agree.

    Before we get on to the main topic, I’d like to share a lucid dream my daughter, Michelle, had a few nights ago. For some reason these dreams aways involve her going upstairs and this one was no different. She was headed up the first short flight of stairs and saw Erik standing next to the art niche on the small landing right where the next flight of stairs takes off to the left. He was wearing a white t-shirt and shorts. She couldn’t see his feet. His eyes were the brightest green she had ever seen and the entire scene looked like it was in high definition. He wore a wide grin on his face. Michelle called out his name and ran to him. They gave each other a long, warm embrace.  Apparently I was sitting on the sofa in the den downstairs, but before Michelle could call me to come up and see him, Erik dove over the banister and did a face plant on the floor below. Then he jumped to his feet, arms outstretched, and said, “Ta da! See, I can’t get hurt!” Michelle fussed at him for scaring her, but then let out a big laugh. Then Erik cradled his arm and feigned an injury, “Ow, my arm, my arm!” Michelle went to get me, but when we both returned and looked over the banister, all that remained was a pair of red sneakers. Later that day, a family friend hurt his arm in a motorcycle mishap. Hm.

    Michelle and Erik, Always the Crazy Duo

    And now here is a message from blog member Paul Hampton Crockett in response to the post, Borderline Personality Disorder, the Soapbox Version. He describes the effect that the Channeling Erik blog has had on his life. I also  LOVE LOVE LOVE what he said about our dear Jamie. His writing flows not from the pen but from the heart. His art, like him, is truly a gift to this world.

    Hey, Elisa: What a great post. A simple and miraculous observation took shape even as I read it that I wanted to share with you. First, I thought, “How I love that woman,” meaning you. (Yet the same would be true also for Jamie, who must be one of the most gifted “translators” ever. She not only has gifts, she is a gift. What she knows about the art of making all feel welcome and co-equals “at the table,” cannot be taught. I also adore that quality of honesty so much a part of her. When she is momentarily clueless and says so, and then proceeds to explore and discover, we are all then given an opportunity to learn, along with her. She is something else!)

    What I wanted to tell you, Elisa, is that scarcely a day of my life goes by that you are not a part of, because you are so in my heart. I think of you so often it surprises me, and with greatest warmth. I feel like you know that, as I am in your heart (and it feels so GOOD to me!), but I still wanted to just say it. Because it’s the most real thing I know. Just as you are. Here’s one of my favorite ee cummings quote-lettes, which might as well have been written for you, as consolation and encouragement, but mostly in a spirit of celebration:

    “To be nobody but yourself — in a world which is doing its best,
night and day, to make you like everybody else — means to fight 
hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting.”

    But I digress, I suppose, because I haven’t yet gotten to the observation mentioned in the first sentence above, that led me to sit down and write! And it really is quite simple. As I was reading, an awareness dawned on me about that son of yours. I thought, “He’s so real to me.” And in fact, he is part of my life in a most enriching and unusual way. He’s like a good friend (which is, to me, the most sacred thing): non-dramatic, fully present, and steadily nutritious. He is in my life. And yet he’s dead.

    And that is the heart of the miracle I wanted to stretch on out to Texas from Florida tonight, and just share with you. That truth resonated with me in a special way, because after Scott’s death, one of my most deeply sorrowful, personal, and heartfelt of lamentations was that “For the rest of my life, none of the people I will meet will ever have a chance to know him, or experience how very beautiful a soul he was.” The idea was just so sad. At the time, you see, I mistook that notion for knowledge. I know better now, but there has been something of an intense learning curve.

    Back then, the mournful thought, “self-evident,” just kept arising. Each time, it felt as sharply painful (or dully and deeply throbbing), as the first. It seemed the recurring chorus in the primal song of grief that had become my life, the crystallization of my pain. Diminishment and sorrow seemed the inescapable bookends of my destiny. Such was the cost of love, and surviving its loss.

    With the passage of time, I came to understand that Scott had by no means left anything but his body. In fact, many have come to know him quite well in the years since his death (notably including you, and Erik). Also, I have settled in to the comforting awareness that he abides in me, in much more than a merely poetic sense. And it’s probably also true, vice versa. That whole realm of experience remains hugely mysterious. The hour’s grown late, and I won’t even try to speak to that one, at the moment.

    Maybe what I am trying to say is beyond words; I’m not sure. But it has to do with the truest and most pure essence of miracle, and offers a promise of hope for those who feel broken wide open even as the winds blow, or who stagger through their endless days in a flame of sorrow that lacks the grace to consume, or who otherwise suffer unimaginable tortures with the loss of those they have so loved. What I finally learned was that death did not mean what I had thought it did, at all. If the love I held for him in my heart still overflowed in is fullness (for it is he that had taught me the lessons of Love greatest and most true); if my living Love for him had not died with him, then that was for a reason, and it was not cruel.

    So let me say, Elisa, Thank you for keeping Love alive. Thank you for being a light in the world. And may the Spirit settle gently upon us where it is most needed. May all of us find comfort according to our need, and find rest in the assurance that it is love that got us into this mess, it is love that has brought all of us together, to where we now stand, and it is somehow, some way, together that we will at last find our way Home. This damnably convincing illusion of separation shall pass away at last as a cloud, having served its purpose, and there will be celebration not even now given us to imagine, and we will feel in heart’s center, sure as we now breathe, a spirit of enduring joy. Not a single one of us shall be left “outside of the circle.” None shall be left behind.

    And, since in the realm of Spirit there is no time, perhaps it is now that we may feel the touch. Not in the poetry of some promise of future prophecy, but now. In this hour of our greatest need. Maybe we can all, each in our way yet joined in common purpose, just take a moment, be still, and breathe.

    So in that moment, right here and now, and exactly as we are, maybe beaten and bruised in our endless daily struggles, hope reduced only to a single tiny flickering flame, and far from certain, with dark despair as close upon us as our shadows, then, and even so, 
a Greater River continues to flow, of which we are all a part, and 
We are known, 
We are loved, far beyond reason or comprehension, 
and we are never, ever alone.

    Amen.
