    Kent Lehman is a Spirit Communicator who works with his wife Cindy Musil to facilitate his communication with Spirit. Learn more about the couple and sign up for their monthly e-newsletter on their website.

    Cindy: Erik can you explain how people who have passed can be in multiple locations simultaneously? For example, if everyone in the Channeling Erik family wanted to talk with you at exactly the same time, could you interact with all of them or would you have to pick and choose who you could communicate with at that moment in time?

    Kent (laughing): Erik is showing me a picture of Sheldon from the “Big Bang Theory” splitting into multiple versions of himself…

    Erik: It’s kind of hard to explain in your terms. Consciousness is all interconnected like a big internet. Spirits are able to split their energy.

    Cindy: Does it dilute their energy? If you’re talking with one person vs. 100 people do you have more energy for the one person than you do when you’re splitting your energy among 100 people?

    Erik: It doesn’t dilute it. It’s all the same source. It just makes multiple parts of the same energy. If you have a glass of water and you dump it out and the water flowed in all directions, that’s kinda how it is. Since our consciousness doesn’t just occur in one moment of time. The actual essence of the water is the same and is connected. It’s not like the glass was the entity. The energy is the water. So it’s the same—whether it’s in the glass or on the table or on the floor. We’re able to spread out our energy and have a conversation with multiple people. It does take energy to do it, because of the timeframe and it not being linear, but we’re able to take it all in. Like multi-tasking.

    Kent: To us, it seems like the same time, but to him, he’s having several individual conversations. It’s simultaneous—multiple conversations at the same time but individual.

    Erik: This is what they’re starting to understand with metaphysics and what Einstein was saying with the Theory of Relativity.

    Kent: It’s hard for us to get around the “black and white” of energy and molecular structure.

    Erik: Here’s an easy example: Light—When people talk about the particle theory and the wave theory of light and they ask, “Which theory is right?” Actually, the more they study it, and the more they get into it, they discover it’s both. And that doesn’t make logical sense, but it does when you start getting into the universe and the energy and that type of thing. How can it be both? It should only be one or the other, but it’s both. In certain situations it acts like a particle and in certain situations it acts like a wave. So it’s just relative.

    Kent: He’s saying it’s hard to understand because we do things in linear terms. And so on the physical plane, you can only reside in one spot at a time. So for us to have a conversation with one person here and another over there, we would have to move and wouldn’t be able to continue the conversation with the first person if we move to have a conversation with the second person.

    Erik: But in the Spirit plane, since there isn’t time as you know it, we’re just able to divide our energy.

    Kent: He could be talking to a hundred people, who to us might seem simultaneous, but to him he’s having individual conversations, because there’s no relevance to time. So the conversations are going on individually and simultaneously all at the same time. He said kind of like Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. It’s both. Time is relative.

    Erik: 5 or 10 minutes in a Dentist’s chair can seem like a whole day but 5 or 10 minutes with a beautiful woman is like a flash. So which one’s right? They’re both right. It’s relative to your perception and what you’re paying attention to. It’s both. It’s simultaneous and it’s separate.

    Kent: He’s having a conversation with us right now, but he’s also having conversations with others right now. It’s not like he’s talking with us, then jumping over to talk with the next person, then the next person, then jumping back to talk with us. It can all happen at the same time. But he’s having individual conversations.

    Cindy: Are you open to communicating with anyone who contacts you?

    Erik: Yeah.

    Cindy: Are there any limitations?

    Erik: No.

    Kent: He makes an effort to remind people by doing pranks.

    Cindy: Do you like helping people?

    Erik: Shit Yeah! It really juices me to see people have a breakthrough. That’s the great thing about the Channeling Erik blog, because it’s a huge reference. People can go back through and read it.

    Kent: And just by reading about him it makes it easier to connect with him. He likes helping people to connect with their spirit guides and the spirit realm, but most importantly to learn about themselves. And discover who they are. What their lessons are and to be more aware of their life.

    Erik: One thing that needs to change as we shift in this consciousness is that so many people are on auto-pilot. They’re not paying attention to things that are going on. Simple things. And they are missing so much because they’re distracting themselves instead of taking the time to go within. People distract themselves either by using drugs, or by TV, or whatever, just escaping all the time instead of asking, “What are these emotions telling me.” And taking charge of that.

    Kent: He’s excited because the people who are involved with the (CE) blog are breaking out of that. They’re searching. They’re either willing to do the work or at least open-minded enough to look at it.

    Cindy: So if they’re willing to do the work, how can you help them?

    Erik: I help them by giving them validation through the pranks. Of course the pranks are a lot of fun, but they also have a reason. It helps demonstrate everything that we’re saying on the blog. Life continues on and your loved ones are all still around you. There’s another dimension of existence right next to the physical. So that’s part of how I help. The other part is through sending messages as people slow down and listen. Either by meditating or by just paying attention. It’s a way for me to get my messages through. Whether it’s encouragement or something silly that they read on the blog.

    Cindy: So if a member of the CE family did want to communicate with you, what’s the best way to solicit your help or advice?

    Erik: The best way is to talk to me like I’m there. And to be open…Open your awareness and pay attention because it may, depending on where you’re at, be the easiest way to get the message to you.

    Kent: He was reminding us that spiritual energy is subtle a lot of times.

    Erik: Chances are you’re not going to hear a booming voice in your head. That’s harder to do. Pay attention to what’s around you. It could be a dragon fly. It could be a penny sitting somewhere. Or it could be somebody calls and you get the answer from that person. Be open to various ways that the answer could come to you. Try to push the logical part of your mind to the side and just see what impressions you get in your mind. It may not be a whole paragraph or a lot of information. It may just be a phrase or a song or something that pops into your mind. Don’t discount that. Pay attention. Ask what that means to you.

    Kent: He said that’s how spirits and your higher self communicate with you all the time. It’s just that we’re so busy with all of our distractions—cell phones, computers, TVs, everythingthat we miss a lot.

    Erik: It doesn’t have to be sitting down and doing a meditation and trying to connect. I mean, that’s a great habit to get into also but we’re communicating with you all the time.

    Me: Erik, how do you fetch people for these sessions? I guess fetch is more of a southern word; how do you get them. Is it about focusing on them with a certain level of intention like you talked about with the plates? How does that all work?

    Erik: Yeah! You get the person’s name—but really it’s not the earth name that matters, but that’s what can link back to the soul name. You focus on it, and then all of a sudden you feel yourself being pulled. It’s almost like from your gut, like up under your ribs. Then, you’re speaking with them wherever they are, and you say, “Come with me!”

    Me: Very cool.

    Erik: That’s it. It’s very much like Star Trek.

    Me: Beam me up Scotty! Is it kind of like, I mean, do most of them know what’s going on as far as what we’re doing here?

    Erik: Yeah, by now, because what I’ve done is I’ve taken that list you’ve put together—I didn’t do it with everyone; I just did it with some of the pop culture celebrities—and I started telling them, ‘Hey, this is what we’re doing; I’m going to be talking to you soon.’ That’s working pretty well.

    Me: Good.

    Me: Erik, were Jamie and I anything in a past life?

    Erik: You’ve been business partners, friends and sisters

    Me: Okay! Now, what color light do I send people to heal them? Do I send them blue or green or what? For instance, what color to I send to Dr. Doug’s hips, and what color do I send to my mom who has Alzheimer’s?

    Erik: Well, if you’re not sure what to send, send them white light. For your mom, use blue and indigo.

    Me: What about people who upset you? Can I just send pink light to their heart or green or something like that?

    Erik: Let’s look at the way they’re upsetting you—

    Me: Well, nobody really upset me. I rarely get upset except for a few instances of blog-related drama, but for example, let’s take Michelle. What color light can she send to someone who upsets her?

    Erik: Yeah, yeah, in general. If somebody is attacking you, they’re throwing out these threads of energy and they’re kind of using it like a vampire, attaching to the other person’s energy. They want to tear it down, pull it apart and it makes them feel good to see the other person fall apart or get angry or get frustrated or confused. With that kind of interaction, either visualize or say in your head, “I cut all ties from this person. I am completely independent from this person energetically.” Then you surround yourself with white light, and you surround them with white light. Wrap ‘em like a mummy.

    Me: Ah, good!

    Erik: You’ll notice it’ll put their fire out; it won’t be causing a reaction in you anymore, and you’ll win. But if it’s just an honest hurt where that person is just being open—

    Me: Yeah!

    Jamie: “Honest hurt,” I have never heard that!

    Erik: Yeah, that’s where you’re completely being open, and you’re not trying to attack; you’re just trying to explain.

    Me: Okay.

    Erik: And you’re having these reactions that you don’t want, be it sad, angry, confused. That’s when you don’t need to cut ties; you just need to embrace them, like you said, Mom, in pink light. Pink, green, and then white is just the most beautiful combination.

    Jamie (to Erik, laughing): You are just smiling so big, young man!

    Me: Aw.

    Erik: Well, it just feels really good.

    Me: What about gold light? What’s that for?

    Erik: Ah, golden light—very knowledgeable and very protective. So, if you want to protect somebody, let’s say they’re traveling to another country, and they may be going to have a hard time, then you can put gold light around them for protection.

    Me: Okay.

    I guess that’s enough Erik wisdom for one week. Have a great weekend everyone! Keep sending Lynette all the healing energy you can. I look forward to the conference call next Thursday!

    Congratulations Channeling Erik Family Members! We’re surpassed a million hits! Woo hoo! That’s a lot of clicks!

    The small group channeling conference call went well. So, thanks Team Eri-Jam or Jam-ik or Jam-er. Hmm, we’ll have to come up with something good. I recorded the session, but for some reason, when I try to export to Quicktime through iMovie in order to get it into YouTube, the audio cuts out after 7 minutes or so. The file is too big to post directly the only way I know is to add images, create an iMovie project, export as a Quicktime movie and then share to YouTube. But no joy. Any tech geniuses out there with ideas on how to get it on the blog? The file is 105 MB. I know a lot of folks want to listen again to what their loved ones and/or Erik had to say, and I just don’t have the time and resources to burn and send CDs every two weeks to everyone.

    And now, enjoy the last segment of John Belushi’s interview!

    Me: John, what were you here to learn and teach?

    John: I really think I was there to of course make people laugh, but also to teach them not to be like me, that I’ll be the extreme so that you can live vicariously through me and not make the same mistakes.

    Me: Oh, interesting! What do you think you were here to learn?

    (Pause)

    Me: If anything!

    John: Chaw! If anything? I was really here to absorb. I was more of a sponge than a human.

    Me: So you were here to just experience life, to soak it all in?

    John: Yeah, mark me down for that one.

    Me: That’s almost like what you’re doing there in the afterlife—just kind of soaking it all in.

    (Pause)

    Me: So you’re still a sponge!

    John: Yay!

    Erik, Jamie and I: Yay!

    Me: So is that right?

    John: Yes.

    Me: Okay. Now, what is your biggest regret?

    John: That I couldn’t be happy sober.

    Me: Aw. Yeah, that’s a big one, John.

    John: Yes.

    Me: Can you tell me about a past life that had the most impact on this last one?

    John: Hmm.  Seriously?

    Jamie (to John): Yes, seriously. It’s a real question.

    Me: Oh no.         

    Jamie (laughing hard): John, we’re being serious.

    John: Okay, I’m being serious. I was a monkey.

    Jamie, Erik and I laugh.

    Me: A monkey? I love monkeys!

    Jamie listens, then laughs.

    Jamie (to John): Okay, yes. No, talk to me. I’m saying it.

    John: It’s what you have to do, right?

    Jamie (chuckling): Yeah, yeah yeah. It’s what I have to do.

    Me: Oh, poor Jamie.

    Jamie sighs and giggles at the same time.

    Jamie: But I can’t tell if he’s really joking or if he’s being serious!

    Me: He was like that sometimes, if I remember correctly.

    Jamie: He’s driving me crazy!

    Me: Oh no!

    Jamie: He’s talking about this group of monkeys in Africa that would eat this fruit, this thing that would make them drunk. Maca fruit, Marsa fruit, Marceea fruit. Makella? I can’t make out what he’s saying.

    Me (giggling): Is it bigger than a bread box? First syllable? Second syllable?

    Jamie: Mar-mar-mar—Argh! Mar-oo-la?       

    Me: Maroola. We’ll just leave it at that.

    John: Anyways, basically I was a mischievous asshole monkey who would just get drunk and pass out. That was my life. I think that influenced my life the most.

    Me: Ya think?

    Jamie and Erik laugh hard.

    Me: Wow, I have never heard that before! That’s got to be a new one for the record books.

    John: Thank you. I try.

    Me: What was your proudest accomplishment while you were in the physical? What did you think it was from your perspective on Earth?

    John: My proudest accomplishment—the fact that I actually got married.

    Jamie: You did? I thought he was single!

    Me: I don’t know.

    John: Yeah, I got married, and I still can say I consider that my proudest accomplishment.

    Me: Okay. That’s good!

    John: A good achievement.

    Me: Do you still watch over your wife? Do you visit her from time to time?

    John: I don’t know if she wants me hanging around her much. You know, she’s old and stuff like that. I check in on her sometimes, but I think she’s had enough of me.

    Me: Okay. From your newfound perspective, do you have any messages for humanity—anything else you’d like to share with the world?

    (Long pause)

    Jamie: Make it not sarcastic John!

    John: That’s so difficult!

    Me: I know!

    John: Really, the message I’d like to give is “Of the seven sins, gluttony is the best to have.”

    Me: Well, it’s definitely fun!

    (Pause)

    Me: And? Would you expound on that, please?

    John: But do your best to avoid all seven.

    Me: Okay. Erik, what would you like to ask Mr. Belushi?

    (Pause)

    Jamie: Um, they’re just chatting back and forth, talking about stuff.

    Erik: What was your favorite thing to do?

    John: Animal House.

    Me: Oh yeah! I forgot about that one!

    John: Because it was one of the first things I was recognized for, and also, in filming it, it was very creative in that they let me kind of do it on my own. It really wasn’t very scripted.

    Me: Good, so a lot of improv, huh?

    John: Yes.

    Me: Okay. Thank you very much, John. I appreciate your time, and I think your words here will open some eyes and minds. It’ll probably open up some mouths to laugh as well!

    John: You are very welcome. Thanks so much for having me today. Take care, Beautiful! Erik kind of let me know what was going on, and I just want you to know we’re all pumped about getting a chance to be heard.

    Me: Well good. I’ll do my best to give you all a voice in a dignified and respectful way.

    Nikki tipped me off to this wonderful lady who will take Erik’s (and of course other’s) o’d t-shirts and makes them into cozy quilts. Imagine wrapping yourself up in that kind of love! And it looks reasonable too–between $150 to $175! Her telephone number is (636)225-1967. I’m hoping Rune gets the hint and gets one made up for my Channeling Erik sanctuary and if we have enough t-shirts, one for my downstairs sofa so I can wrap myself up in his smell and cry from time to time. (Hint, hint: please don’t wash them first!)

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

    Good news: the Doubletree Hotel Channeling Erik Weekend link is up on Jamie’s site: http://doubletree.hilton.com/en/dt/groups/personalized/A/AUSLNDT-CEW-20120228/index.jhtml?WT.mc_id=POG. So, you can book your room at a much reduced rate. If you need a roommate, email me at emedhus@gmail.com and I’ll play matchmaker. If you haven’t signed up for the Austin event, but sure to. It’s going to be amazing–life-changing–and I really want to meet you guys. We can accommodate only up to 50 people, because we want the group to be an intimate family. We also hope to have blog member, Doug, talk about and demonstrate past life regression, and we may have someone discuss induced after death communication. It should be chock full of all sorts o amazing skills, experiences and information so that your life will never be the same again. Again, sign up is on Jamie’s site: https://withloveandlight.com/shop/channeling-erik-weekend-of-enlightenment-austin-tx-32-34/

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

    And now of Mr. Samurai, himself, John Belushi:

    The more we got into the interview the more I  found his answers indirect and confusing. He often didn’t answer the questions in a concise and direct way, but this is the best he could do. As I transcribed this, I wondered if drugs can alter the energy of the soul in an adverse way, although it didn’t seem to have an adverse effect on Chris Farley, Bob Marley and others. Robert? Jason? Anyone else have any ideas? This entry, he was pretty clear, but as the interview progresses, you’ll see what I mean.

    Me: Well, Erik, who should we interview next, Jim Morrison, JFK, Jr. or John Belushi?

    Erik: The one that’s most eager and easiest to get a hold of is John Belushi.

    Me (chuckling): Oh, okay! Go fetch, Boy!

    Jamie: Yeah, go get him, Erik!

    (Pause)

    Jamie: That’s funny; he sort of looks like Marlon Brando.

    Me: I don’t remember.

    Jamie: Not the shape of his body. Just his face.

    Me: I don’t know. I can’t even picture him. Didn’t he do the Samurai skits on Saturday Night Live?

    Erik: Yes, Mom! I can’t believe you forgot!

    Jamie: He’s here. He’s not as tall as I expected him to be, but he’s solid built, kinda chubby.

    Me: Yeah, he had some meat on his bones.

    Jamie: And scruffy! Don’t you shave up there, John?

    John: Who needs to? Who am I trying to impress?

    Me: Yeah, really! Hello John!

    John: Hello, beautiful!

    Me: Aw, you’re so sweet! Okay, I’d like to ask you some questions; you probably know the drill. Can you tell us what you believed in regarding death and the afterlife before you died?

    John: Oh, I was spoon fed what my parents thought was best. What child isn’t? Isn’t that the purpose of having kids, so you can have a few puppets around?

    Jamie and I laugh.

    Jamie: You didn’t have any children, did you?

    John: No, I didn’t get around to it.

    Jamie: He’s talking about being orthodox. What do you mean, orthodox? Were you Jewish?

    Me: Well, it could be Greek, you know. There are all sorts of orthodox religions. It just means conventional or traditional.  They just really stick to the tenets without liberal interpretation.

    Jamie: Yeah, he said it was very strict. He’s talking about being eastern orthodox.

    Me: Okay.

    Jamie: And he said some crazy word that starts with an A. Sounded like a sneeze!

    Me: Oh, he was probably an Ashkenazi Jew!

    Jamie: Ooo, say that again?

    Me: I don’t know if I’m even pronouncing it right. Ashkenazi?

    Jamie: No, it sounds like it has more syllables than that.

    Me: Ashkenazi-wazi? I give up!

    Jamie laughs hard.

    Jamie: Oh my god, he loves that! No, it’s like “automobile” and then something else.

    John: It wasn’t the most loving place you wanted to find yourself. It’s no surprise that I came out with much more of a dark side than a bright side.

    Me (with sympathy): Aw, yeah. You mean because of your religious upbringing?

    John: Yes.

    Me: Okay, so when you crossed over, how did those beliefs change?

    John: I found that maybe humor was the way to really—

    Jamie: He rubs his face and his hair when he talks.

    John: I found that humor really was the way to celebrate life, and in celebrating life, you are celebrating God.

    Me: Mm hm.

    John: But I really found out that what I learned was a lot of bullshit.

    Me: Ah oh!

    (Pause)

    Me: Okay, So what was your transition like for you? Was it peaceful, painful—

    John: Hmm. Confusing. I really can’t compare peaceful or painful, because I really wasn’t raised in any other family. What my family was is what they were. They were survivors, and my dad always lived in survivor mode. It wasn’t really about loving or caring for your children; it was about teaching them how to survive.

    Me: Oh, wow!

    John: And when you end up in America, that natural instinct to survive is not as needed. It’s pampered out of you. But yet we didn’t get that nurturing that you see on TV with—

    Jamie laughs at what he says before going on.

    John: —the fucking Leave it to Beaver and things like that.

    Jamie (to John): I always have to giggle when you guys cuss! I will grow out of it, I promise!

    Me: Oh, no! Don’t grow up, Jamie!

    Erik laughs.

    Me: No, what I mean by transition is death. What was your death like?

    John: Fireworks!

    Me: Fireworks?

    John: There was a lot of drugs! Racing heart! Lights in my eyes! It was fireworks!

    Me: Okay. What went on in your mind as you were dying and right after you crossed over?

    John: Yeah, yeah, I thought that was the greatest high I had ever had! How amazing! I didn’t realize I had gone past the point of no return.

    Me: Oh, I can see that happening.

    John: I was still going! God, it just kept getting better and better, and then I realized I wasn’t coming off of it. Then I realized I didn’t have my body anymore, and I realized how much I had just been fucked.

    Here’s the final piece of Mr. Marley’s interview.

    Me: Can you talk about a past life that may have influenced your last one? These are always fun!

    Jamie: They are, aren’t they?

    Bob: Der are so many!

    (Pause as he considers the question)

    Bob: I liked being an old mon.

    Jamie (to Bob): Asia? So, where in Asia? (pause) Chinese. You’re trying to tell me you’re a Chinese old man?

    Jamie laughs.

    Jamie: That was his visual.

    Bob: I was an old Chinese mon. I made wooden instruments. I carved dem.

    Me: Uh huh.

    Bob: And when you would strike de different part of de wooden box or—

    Jamie; He’s showing me them to be long and thin, and when you hit or tap different parts of the box or the tongues that are carved into the box, it would make sounds.

    Me: Hm!

    Jamie: It’s very , um, I mean, I can see it so clearly.

    Me; I can see it too. Cool.

    Bob: I remember being too old dat I couldn’t carve any more.  So, I would sit with my two sons, and we would talk about de movement of de grain in de wood. If you wanted de wood to work with you and your design dat you see—it’s not about controlling de wood and cutting and carving. It’s about following de grain of de wood and allowing de sound de wood wants to make to come up. You’ll always get de sound dat you wish. You use a piece of wood, and sometimes der were plenty of mistakes and a lot of time was spent.  My life was dat way; it was very understated. I spent most of my time sitting and standing and working with tools. I never had de chance to perform. Dat wasn’t what I was known for. I was seen as de—

    Me: The craftsman?

    Bob: Yes. And dis led me to have a deep desire to learn to play and to teach to other people what de wood had taught me—what de wood had taught my fingers and my ears. And dat lesson was dat you can’t control nature or use design as an ultimate plan. You must be open from de heart and see with your fingers to be able to know what can be given to you. And den, from der, you create what you want. You create from de heart, de soul.

    Me: Wow. Very profound!

    Bob: Force is never needed in life.

    Me: Yeah, go with the flow! Exactly.

    Bob: I cherished dat lifetime. Very understated. Very simple.

    Me: Yeah. So, you are such a wise man. Do you have any messages or advice for humanity? Then, I’ll give the mike to Erik!

    Bob: I’ve said it before: You must live life with your heart and not with your eyes.

    Me: Okay. Well, you can’t top that! Erik, any questions?

    Erik: Yeah. Why?

    Bob (turning to Erik):  Your eyes are your biggest liars; dey will only see what dey know to see, what dey want to see, and dey will manipulate what’s around you.

    Me: Ah!

    Bob: Sometimes, out of de goodness of itself, it will not give you de true perspective of what is around you. Know dat you must move forward with your heart.

    Me; Yes, but how do we do that?

    Bob (laughing really hard): It’s not about everybody going blind!

    We all laugh.

    Bob: But it is about everybody closing der eyes and opening der hearts.

    Me: And listening to their intuition, being guided by their intuition? Is that what you’re saying?

    Bob: Yes, it’s about knowing how you feel. And if you cannot give love to a person or a situation, it is your responsibility to be authentic to yourself to know why you can’t. Dat’s de lesson inside of you dat you do not like! Dat’s de lesson dat you often refuse to do. You need to know why.

    Me: Hmm. And the lessons from Bob Marley go on. Well, thank you, Bob, for coming back and letting me interview you again! Consider it your curtain call, your encore.

    Bob (laughing): You’re very good people, good people.

    Me: Aw, you’re good people, too, as we say here in Texas. Bye!

    Bob: Peace.

    Soon, Jamie will post the link for the hotel reservations for the Channeling Erik event in Austin. She and I are cooking up some big surprises for you guys! We also hope to have two people discuss and perhaps demonstrate past life regression and IADC (induced afterlife communication)aside from the already full agenda. So, it should be a very fulfilling three day event. We can only accommodate 50 attendees and the deadline will be three days before March 2nd so be sure to sign up as soon as you can. Please let us know via a comment if you you’d like to share a room with someone! It’s a good way to save on costs and make a new friend for life.

    Also, Jamie will soon be announcing the next of her phone conferences. She’s decided to host them every two weeks. She wants to keep them small and short: no more than 10 to 13 people, one hour long, but every two weeks. Should be fun!

    Love you all! Happy jammin’ this weekend!

    Hey All,

    The sign up for the first channeling conference call (1/23/12 7:00 P.M.EST) is up earlier than anticipated at https://withloveandlight.com/. It’ll be two full hours. The first thirty minutes will be all Erik and the rest of the time you’ll be able to ask your own questions. Details, including times, are on the site and once you register, you’ll be given the call in number and the access code.

    There will also be a small group conference call February 2nd, 1:30 P.M. EST. It’ll be limited to 13 people, and the entire time will be devoted to answering your questions. Sign up for that call is also available now at that same site! Be sure to register for this now before the spaces book. The first session has unlimited spaces, though.

    I want to publicly thank Jamie for extending this to the CE family, because she works so hard but is willing to sacrifice family time to offer her indisputably amazing gifts to us.

    I’m going to announce blog member, Endre Balogh’s, new website tomorrow. Until then, check out the new high resolution photo he created of Erik!

    Thanks Endre!

    Before we start, I’d like to share something a blog member created. I will have to say this is one of the best presents I have ever received. My entire family and all of my neighbors reacted with jaws dropped. The only problem is I don’t know how to get in touch with him to thank him properly. So, Eric Orbich, if you could please email me at emedhus@gmail.com, I’d really appreciate it. I’m not sure if you paint professionally (you certainly should) but I’m sure many blog members would love to have portraits like this made of their loved ones. I can’t wait to get mine framed. It’s stunning. Really stunning. If you’re not famous now, you will be soon. Here’s a photograph. It doesn’t do the painting justice, but it’s all I got!

    Eric Orbich's Creation

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

    Poor Freddie. Eric’s is a hard act to follow. Nevertheless…

    Me: So Erik, do you have any questions for Mr. Mercury?

    Erik: Yeah. What was Bohemian Rhapsody really about?

    Freddie: What do you want it to be about?

    Erik: I don’t know.

    Freddie: That’s what you have to ask yourself, Erik.

    Me: What was your proudest accomplishment while you were here on earth, Freddie?

    Freddie: My music!

    Me: Of course! And I suppose that hasn’t changed now that you’re in the spiritual realm, right?

    Freddie: It has not at all.

    Me: Okay. Any other spiritual accomplishments you’re proud of?

    Freddie: Spiritual accomplishments?

    Me: Yeah.

    Freddie (laughing): My music!

    Me: Oh my gosh; what am I thinking!

    Jamie laughs.

    Me: Now, do you have any messages for humanity, given your newfound perspective in the afterlife? Is there anything you’d like to share with the world?

    Freddie: The only rules and regulations you have in life are the ones you create for yourself.

    Me: That’s true. So, Erik, do you have any other questions for Freddie before we close? No orangutan questions, though!

    Jamie (giggling): They got me good; I really thought we were going to talk about a life he had as an orangutan!

    Me: I know! I would have fallen for that, too, hook, line and sinker!

    Erik: What was going through your head with Bohemian Rhapsody?

    (How persistent!)

    Freddie (laughing): It actually came from, we called it “The Old Cowboy Song.”

    Jamie: Old Cowboy Song? He’s showing me that they use to horse around and play the guitar and sing, and they called it “The Old Cowboy Song” because it started out with “Mama, I just killed a man.”

    Me: Oh, yeah! Okay.

    Jamie: And that just used to be lyrics in the recording studio that they would joke around with when they were warming up or whatever. And they’d all be like, “Oh, here’s Freddie as the cowboy!”

    Freddie: So, it kind of grew into a ballad. We wondered, “How much can we fit into one song.” It became ridiculous saturated—from ballad to guitar solo to opera to heavy rock, just on and on and on.

    Jamie: To otro, outro.

    Me: Yeah, outro.

    Jamie: What’s that?

    Me: It’s the final guitar piece I guess. I’m not sure. (To my son, Lukas) Lukas, what’s an outro? Jamie wants to know.

    Lukas: I don’t know.

    Me: Okay, we’ll find out later. Stay tuned!

    Jamie: Stay tuned!

    Freddie: And once we recorded it, I thought, ‘Well, how many voices and sounds can we put on top of that?’ So, we kept dubbing and adding tracks upon tracks, layering it and layering it—our harmony times six, and our twenty-four layers turned into a lot more. And it just sounded outrageous. So our manager said, “No one in the world is ever going to play this on the radio. And we thought it would be a great little “end of the record” song, but we really had a great time creating it and recording it. Then a disc jockey—

    Jamie (showing her youth): Oh my god, that’s what they were called back then, weren’t they?

    Me: Oh, yeah.

    Jamie (giggling): Disc Jockey! So funny!

    Freddie: So a disc jockey got the song prematurely and started playing it late at night, and it got such great reviews that it became, you know, one of the longest played songs on the radio!

    Me: Yeah, and one of the biggest hits.

    Freddie: Thank you!

    Me: I just love all of your songs.

    Jamie: This guy has a smaller waist than I do!

    Jamie and I laugh.

    Me: Well, I think that’s it. I just want to thank you for all you’ve done—the joy and music that you’ve brought to the world. Thank you for your time here, too, Mr. Mercury.

    Freddie: Your quite welcome, and I wish you all the best. Your son, Erik, is a fine young man. We’re happy to have him here.

    Me: Aw, how nice!

    (Of course inside, I’m thinking, ‘I’m not happy that he’s there. I’d rather him be with me. Sigh. In the background, Lukas asks a question.)

    Me: What, Lukas?

    Lukas: Is Jesus too busy to talk right now?

    Me (to Jamie and Erik): He wants to know if Jesus is too busy to talk right now.

    Me (to Lukas): Well, it’s almost the end, anyway. Do you just want to say hi to Jesus?

    Lukas: Yes. I just wanna say hi.

    Me: Wait, no, we’re going to channel Jesus later. Jesus is kind of busy for just a drive-by “hi and bye.” Annika, do you want to say anything to Erik? Don’t worry. You don’t have to talk on the phone.

    Annika: Hi. (Erik can probably see her 16 year-old eye roll.)

    Erik (laughing): She sounds so forced when she says it. It’s so funny!

    (Typical teenaged girl.)

    Erik: Who made waffles this morning?

    Me: Oh! We got them at the Waffle House and brought them home. 

    Jamie: Erik’s really happy; he can’t wait to see Lukas in college.

    Erik: Tell Lukas to strive to make it the entire time.

    Me: Make it to class?

    Erik: No, where he actually graduates and walks across the stage!

    Me: Yes, exactly! He will.

    Erik: I like to see everyone together.

    (We’re in a rented condo in Destin, Florida at the time.)

    For those of you who didn’t get a chance to listen to Robert and Erik’s interview on Follow Your Bliss, please do. Erik shouts out “MOM!” at exactly 52:38. It sounds like him as a little boy. The quality is very “EVP-ish.”

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

    For those of you seeking the gifts of a talented psychic and one with a wonderful relationship with our boy, Erik, please allow me to introduce you to Kristen Moss: RN, psychic medium, hands on healer

    Kristen resides in central Wisconsin with her husband and three children. While in her mid twenties, she received a psychic reading that inspired her to learn more about developing her own intuitive gifts. Weeks later, she was offering readings to her friends and family ranging from mediumship to intuitive guidance. She later was trained in hands on healing techniques of Reiki I, II, and III and Quantum Touch.

    Kristen’s caring and compassionate nature lead to a nearly 20 year career working in healthcare in a wide variety of settings. In mid 2011, feeling burned out working as an RN, she decided to take some time off to spend with her family and nurture her spiritual gifts. She sees clients in her home for psychic readings (mediumship, life direction and past life awareness), and hands on healing sessions. She is also available for phone consultations as well as distant healing.

    To set up an appointment, you may contact Kristen through email or call her directly:

    One last thing before Freddie takes center stage. Erik came up with a “lovely” slogan for the Channeling Erik event in Austin. He asked me to design t-shirts with that slogan, so I did. I also made some bumperstickers and buttons if anyone is interested in spreading the word. Otherwise, it’s just good plain fun knowing that Erik is still on his game.

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

    And now, part two of our interview with Mr. Mercury.

    Me: Can you describe your thoughts when you realized you had crossed over?

    Freddie: You know, I really did ask, ‘Where the hell are the bloody angels!’ I said it really boisterously.

    Jamie, Erik and I laugh hard. We could just hear him.

    Freddie: And what followed soon after was laughter. I knew then that I had the right heaven, that I hadn’t gone to hell.

    Jamie and I laugh.

    Freddie: My family was there. It was a white room with no walls, but I knew it was a room. I knew I was contained somehow.

    (Pause)

    Jamie (sounding a bit choked up): Aw, the emotions that come across are way heavier than the words themselves.

    Freddie: I took a moment to release; I took a moment to cry.

    Jamie: The energy that comes out of him kind of chokes me up a little bit. That’s how much he was looking forward just to die.

    Freddie: Yeah, my body ate me alive.

    Me: Oh, what an awful disease. Well, was it your destiny to die when and how you did? If so, why?

    Freddie: I believe it was. You know, I don’t think I would have been happier growing old and not being able to perform. I only wanted that life on the stage, and I got that right up until the end.

    Me: Were you meant to die from that particular disease?

    Freddie: I think it was very selfless of me to follow through with this. It wasn’t until my death that this disease really got mapped, got noticed.

    Me: So you were meant to bring AIDS awareness and understanding to the world?

    Freddie: Yes.

    Me: Was that meant on a different level than for your own personal reasons? Was it also to teach us about compassion and acceptance toward groups of people who are often targeted and maligned and who often bear the brunt of fear-based emotions and thoughts?

    Freddie: Absolutely. A lot of people like to categorize me as a gay man. I think I appropriately fit the category of a man who loved whomever was best for me—male or female. Bisexual doesn’t do it do it justice, because there was nothing in me that was divided that way.

    Me: Interesting.

    Jamie (laughing): He likes to call it “all sexual”!

    Me: There we go, and all sexual man! So, can you describe your afterlife now? What do you do there? Do you have a life’s work? What does it look like? You know the drill.

    Freddie: I have a place to come home to, but I rarely find myself doing so. Most of my passion is devoted to working with artists who are still living who find an inspiration in me, and I help them with the writing of the music, the singing of the music, the expression. I feel a bit like everyone’s mother in the fact that I want to keep them out of the limelight’s harm.

    Me: Oh, yeah. Did you gain any new insights once you were in the afterlife?

    Freddie: I gained that what I wanted to believe about heaven while I was on earth actually exists.

    Me: Anything else.

    Freddie (chuckling): I think that should cover everything.

    Me: So, you shared what you were here to learn; do you have anything else to add to that?

    Freddie: No, but I really think I was here to teach the all sexual thing.

    (Pause as I wait in vain for him to expound.)

    Me: Do you have any regrets?

    Freddie: Actually, when I look back, when I was alive, I still have a little regret for not handling my band mates with more respect.

    Me: Okay. What past life affected this last life the most?

    (Pause)

    Jamie: Um, he’s kind of joking with Erik right now. I’m not really in the conversation with them, but they’re joking about a life where—

    (Pause as Jamie eavesdrops further)

    Jamie: Are you guys for real!! Just tell me if this is for real or not!

    (Jamie giggles)

    Jamie (to Erik and Freddie): You’re joking? Okay. I’m gullible! I’m gullible, I know!

    Me: I am too.

    Jamie: They were talking about a life of being an orangutan, and Erik and him are just slapsticking back and forth. The smell and the hair of the orangutan and what the sex is like!

    Me (Laughing): Oh my god!

    Jamie: I’m gullible. You got me, boys. So tell me a past life for real!

    (Pause as Jamie listens to Freddie)

    Jamie: He shows me this image of a blond-headed, curly, curly-haired girl. She’s probably four or five years old. Kind of still has some baby fat features, you know, round cheeks. Kind of like a blond Shirley Temple.

    Me: Okay.

    Freddie: I recall vividly in that life—

    Jamie: I asked him, ‘Where was it’ and he shows me snow and ice that goes on forever!

    (Pause)
    Jamie: Oh, he jokes. He says it’s probably close to where you have your cabin. Like a Nordic region.

    Me: Yeah, in Norway!

    Freddie: I remember being told in that life that the water was hot and not to touch the water and that the ice was cold and not to be out in the cold too long. There were rules that were more about life and death to protect you and keep you safe, because it was such a harsh environment. And I remember thinking, ‘Why are they telling me this? Why can’t they just let me be?’ I just wanted to be on my own.

    (Pause and Jamie listens more)

    Jamie (to Freddie): Well that’s not a great story.

    Me: What?

    Jamie: He tells me what happened was that he continued to go against what his parents were saying. He had a mother, father, large family. (counting)  One, two, three, four—five children. He was one of five. He’s the youngest. Doesn’t really get paid attention, can do his own thing, walks out into the snow and didn’t dress appropriately. So, he froze, died in the snow.

    Me: Aw.

    Jamie: At such a young age.

    Me: Aw, how sad.

    Freddie: I remember leaving that life, saying, ‘Why couldn’t I trust those people?’

    Me: Ah!

    Freddie: I was really hard on myself for doing that and thought, ‘Maybe some people actually do care!’

    Me: So, maybe you learned how to trust?

    Freddie: Well, I didn’t learn it in that life, but it definitely sat really heavy with me to listen to people in the life that I came into. And I didn’t have any outlet, musically or otherwise. It was a very bland life. So, I thought the complete opposite would satisfy me. That’s when Freddie Mercury was created.

    Me: Ah! And there was nothing bland about your life as Freddie!

    Before Freddie takes the mike, as only he can do, I’d like to introduce two new and upcoming psychics over the next two days. The first is Kent Lehman. As is often the case, he embarked on a new path because of Erik. I only found out about his connection with our boy through a third party, and one phone conversation later, I feel honored to know him, pleased that Erik and he are friends, and excited to share his story. He and his wife, Cindy, also have a wonderful band, The Eclectic Verve. I’ve already downloaded their music on iTunes.

    After “stumbling” upon the Channeling Erik Blog when I was searching for a name for our band (I say “stumbling” in quotes because I believe there are no coincidences), I began reading and was fascinated by what Elisa was posting.  It reignited a basic belief that I already had but had gone somewhat dormant in my mind’s priorities.  This belief being that our souls have a continuation from life into death and there is a greater consciousness of which we are all a part. 

    Following the loss of several family members and friends who crossed over, one of the ways my wife Cindy and I sought to work through our grief was by communicating with loved ones through mediums that we had learned about on the Channeling Erik site.  This led us to Jamie Butler and Jeannie Barnes.  As we healed through the messages they delivered, there was also a consistent theme that we, too could communicate with Spirit. 

    We have received training through The Aspen Program of Psychic Development http://psychiciq.com/ and have also received guidance through Jamie connecting with our guides.  Through Jamie, we have repeatedly been told by Spirit that part of our path in life is to be conduits to help people receive messages that they need as well as help Spirit(s) deliver the messages they want to give.  After struggling for several months over finding the right time to start (as well as work it into our busy schedule), Cindy and I decided that we just had to put ourselves out there because the “right” time may never come.  As a result, at the beginning of December, we started doing practice readings.  We are currently in the midst of providing a Spirit Communication session daily for 14 days in a row to hone my sensitivities regarding how Spirit is communicating with me.  I have been floored and humbled by the response thus far, including several cameos from Erik.

    In addition to our Spirit Communication, I also work in my family’s small business, and am a singer/songwriter.  Cindy and I released our debut CD last June for our band Eclectic Verve.  Following is a link to a video for a song I wrote for my cat of 19-1/2 years that was released in December.  http://www.eclecticverve.com/gallery/video/  Writing the song was instrumental in comforting me and healing my grief after my cat passed.  Originally, the intent of the song was simply to describe my relationship with my cat, but the purpose expanded into a message about the spiritual nature of our animal companions and what we can learn from them.

    If you are interested in scheduling a session, please contact Cindy at soar@eclecticverve.org or (720) 248-8396.  For more information about us, or what Erik has termed “The Colorado Couple’s” Spirit Communication practice, please visit our website www.eclecticverve.org.

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

    And now, Mr. Freddie Mercury:

    Me: Erik, let’s see if we can get Freddie Mercury for us. Jamie and I are big Queen fans.

    Jamie: Oh, Erik just left. He didn’t even say anything.

    (Pause)

    Jamie: And here he is. Mr. Freddie Mercury. He’s got his moustache!

    Me: Oh good! Hello Mr. Mercury!

    Mercury: Hello ladies.

    Me: We’re friend. I mean fans—and friends, of course. You were—and are—so incredible. Such power from the heart when you sing. I just don’t know how to describe it.

    Jamie: He says thank you very much, but does he have a lisp?

    Me: A little bit of a lisp, yeah. He did.

    Jamie: Huh. Really? I never heard it, but of course I guess you don’t really have a lisp when you sing.

    Me: Yes, isn’t that something? The same thing with stuttering.

    Jamie: All right. Sorry. Go ahead.

    Me: Okay, what beliefs did you have about death and the afterlife while you were alive? What did you think was going to happen?

    Freddie: I thought that you would die, and the gods would come for you. Then, they would judge you on the life that you lived and that would determine how well you lived in the afterlife.

    Me: Really? How interesting. What kind of religion is that?

    Freddie (laughing): I think it’s a bit of my own!

    Me: Wow, not too many people create their own religion, Freddie!

    Freddie: Where I grew up—

    Jamie: It’s weird. It’s kind of like Catholic, but not in a Catholic place. Let’s see if that makes sense. Can you explain that to me, Freddie?

    (Freddie gives details to Jamie)

    Jamie: In a different country? So he says he was raised Catholic, but in a country that was not Catholic in itself. So he heard multiple viewpoints on religion as a young boy and kind of put together the two, because when he was younger, he said anyone who could give me multiple viewpoints on the same topic just proved to him that nobody really understood it.

    Me: Ah!

    Freddie: So, I just threaded together what I liked about all of them. I guess that was for my own comfort, because I didn’t believe in what the school was teaching.

    Me: After you passed over, how did your beliefs change?

    Freddie: That didn’t happen at all!

    Jamie giggles.

    Me: Surprise!

    Freddie: Thankfully, I wasn’t judged for who I was. If I had been, I clearly would have defended myself. I felt that I lived a life that most people wanted, because I did what I fell in love with. It didn’t matter if it was proper or improper, if it was boys or girls, I did what my desires led me to do.

    Jamie: He laughs. He kind of recants his words.

    Freddie: There was a good sized portion of my life where I was very selfish. As you know, when I became ill, that part I also did all that I desired, but it wasn’t selfish. It was very unselfish. I know you’re going to ask me what did I learn; that is what I learned how to do.

    Me: Oh, okay. Now, what was your actual transition to heaven like for you?

    Freddie: I believe I smiled.

    Me: Aw.

    Freddie: I was in my room. I remember there was never a quiet moment. You could always hear the people outside.

    Jamie: Oh, you had people outside?

    Freddie: Yes, sometimes I would have someone hold up a mirror so that I could see out the window and down.

    Jamie: He must have been on a hill or up in a second story room. It’s not clear, but he looks like he’s up higher. He wanted the mirror to held in a way that he could see what was happening.

    Freddie: I always felt loved by the people who enjoyed my music. I never felt like I was being stripped or robbed of my creative expression.

    Me: Aw, that’s good! So your death wasn’t very painful? It was peaceful, then? Like a release? Is that what you’re trying to say?

    Freddie: Well, the medications helped. I think without that, it would have been very painful, and my body—I was never once afraid. I knew it was coming; I welcomed it. I had been sick for a very long time, and I just wanted death to come rescue me. 

    What a poignant and spiritual song. One of my favorites:

    Lately I’ve had a few emails that gave me pause. Some of them recounted how difficult it is to share Channeling Erik with friends and family members because, not only are they skeptics, but they actually suggested that the entire blog might be a scam. Others confessed that at first, they thought I was insincere…a phony. Nobody would do such a thing without a price.  Of course these people are all lovely and are very loyal members but still, it makes me wonder: How many people hold these same belief? And why does it bother me so? Where is the lesson that I am to learn?

    The thought that anyone might think I would exploit my son’s death is very disturbing, second only to losing him. That’s why I don’t accept and have declined many offers for advertising revenues. I don’t get any kickbacks from psychics and in fact pay for their services just like anyone else. Jamie has offered to extend her services to me for free, but I have declined. I pay for each session and every event just like everyone else. In fact, Channeling Erik costs me a lot of money every month, but for me, there is a selfish motive. In a way, it keeps Erik alive on such a conscious level, it’s like he never left my arms.

    Now, we’re entering a new phase that includes services from Jamie and others: phone channeling conferences, Channeling Erik events, etc. Naturally, this places me at risk of having my motives misunderstood further,  even though I am not compensated for any of this. Yet, on the other hand, the phone channeling conferences provide an opportunity for many to contact their deceased loved ones and to seek help for personal life dilemmas at a much lower price than if they were to have a full session with a medium.

    As the blog membership grows exponentially, I know that this will become an ever-increasing quandary. That sickens my stomach a bit. I know that if the blog, Erik and I ever become known on a more public level, this will only get worse. What can I do to avoid being in the limelight? I’m not comfortable there. What can I do to ensure every knows my heart is pure and that I love–and I mean Love– giving of myself to all of you and to Erik? Any advice from you, my second family, would be greatly appreciated.

    On a lighter note, take a look at this fascinating technology that adds just that much more proof that everything, including us, is energy.
