Channeling Transcript

Me: Now what’s the difference—a lot of people have asked this questions—between ghosts and spirits?

Erik: Nothing.

Me: I didn’t think so. It’s all semantics.

Erik: Ghosts, spirits, haunts, they’re called many different kinds of things but they’re all just discarnate souls. All the same thing.

Me: Okay. Now here’s another question a lot of folks seem to ask. When does the soul enter the body? At conception, at birth, or what?

Kim: Very good question, um—

Me: I get the feeling it can be just about any time from conception on, but…

Erik: Let me check with your guides on that one.

(Pause as Erik asks and listens to some higher guides)

Erik: They say it’s usually at birth or shortly after.

Me: Okay.

Erik: It can happen at conception or during the nine months, but that’s not as common.

Me: Is there any basis for their decision to enter the physical body at various times?

Erik: Well, some souls just want to experience the whole hanging out in the womb thing. But sometimes a soul want to be closer to the mom, like maybe they’re soul mates, maybe there was some traumatic separation between the two.

Me: Like what?

Erik: Maybe the baby was aborted, stillborn, a miscarriage or something like that in this life, or maybe it was something like an abduction, an adoption, or some type of separation in this life or a previous one. In these cases, it’s all about comfort, either for the baby, the mom or both.

Me: Wow, okay. So why is it more common to enter the body right before or after birth?

Erik: Um, would you rush into being squeezed into a sardine can after being free and unfettered and expansive for a long time?

Me: Hmm. I guess not. I can’t stand wiggling into my tight jeans after the holidays, so…

Erik (chuckling): Yeah, I didn’t think so!

Kim and I laugh.

Erik: Now after birth, the soul doesn’t have to always stay in the body. They can go out of body and project themselves wherever they want. By the time they’re like 5, 6 or 7, they’re pretty much wired in. ‘Course there are exceptions. Some kids astral travel easier than others all their lives.

Me: I know Arley does. She loves flying out to the Rent-a-Ranch to see the horses and other animals.

Erik: Yeah, and sometimes I go with her. Old people, you know, like the senile ones—

Me: You mean the ones with Alzheimer’s or some other type of dementia?

Erik: Yeah. Their consciousness gets pretty mobile too. They can visit over here or sometimes on the earthly plane.

Me: I wish I could do that. I’d visit you in a heartbeat.

Update on Robert

Unfortunately, I had to work today, so I’m not going to be able to see Robert, but I’ve called several times and they say he’s doing well. He wants the NG tube out and they’re going to try to sit him up in a chair. Still running a low grade fever, but he’s being taken care of by an excellent Infectious Disease specialist. I’ll see him tomorrow and give y’all a full assessment!

Alexis sent me this message from Veronica, a very highly evolved spirit who also happens to be my guardian angel. Thank God, cuz I need all the help I can get!

A New Message From VERONICA

Past Life Energy

In your current life experience there can often be incidents of unrest and difficulty that appear to have no connections to your current moment.  It is, however, somewhat impossible to dismiss the negative energy as it impacts the now moment.

All of you have had lives where the energy created remains unresolved.  Some of these lives manifested negative moments that had no opportunity in a physical enactment to resolve themselves.  The life ended taking with it this energy wishing to be concluded.  In some cases there is a huge build up of this energy from concurrent and parallel lives.

Those who find themselves in this type of moment are often confused with the influence those lives have upon their current ones.  More confusion arises when the inability to get “anything right in the moment” reflects upon the life they are living now.

It is important to consider the energy of a past life, while attempting to work through present dramas.  Being able to separate the past from the now is valuable.

Consider the multiple aspects of your physical experience.  It may enable you to maintain your power and progress in this one.”

    Speaking of Spirits being born. I’ve mentioned and written about- to some of you the odd way I often sense Spirits in an external environment as opposed to minds eye vision. To me when they are present or when they project their energy to let me know they are there, they appear to me as a staticy fuzzy shimmer in the air that moves. It can be various shapes or human shaped. In any case; Last fall I was visiting with my extremely pregnant sister in law and saw this fuzzy shimmer that totally enveloped around her abdomen out to about a foot or two. And it moved with her and fluctuated in shape an size. It actually kinda freaked me out. And when she gave birth it was gone. I also saw and met the baby’s guides who were with the baby. They showed up in minds eye but didn’t’ talk. I remember asking Elisa about this and am glad to have it brought up as a topic. I’ve also read many old Spiritualist journals of Spirits commenting on how unpleasant it was to be born. How death was a joy, Wondrous, and how birth was considered painful and sad, due to losing a loved one. Kind of the opposite of how we think of it.

      That’s what Erik said, that souls in the afterlife often mourn those who reincarnate. Shit! You’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t! Can’t we just all pick and side and stick with it so they’ll be no more grieving? Just sayin’.

  • laura Vanden Bosch

    Hello everyone. I just wanted to share that over the last year I will cry for no apparent reason. I am aware of past life residue so I just let it come and thank it and say goodbye. It does make me feel kinda crazy at times. Thank Goodness my husband is Great.
    Peace and love laura

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      That’s interesting. I’ve always cried during sappy commercials, movies that are the least bit sad–I sob every time I watch Bambi’s mother die. I wonder if that’s also a release mechanism for past life pain? What do you think, Laura?

  • http://www.drmedhus.com Elisa Medhus

    Elizabeth, what an amazing gift you have! There are no coincidences, so I’m certain you were brought to us as a treasure for this, your other family. I hope–no, I KNOW– you can re-open your talents and use them to help the world. Can you copy and paste this into a comment under the most recent post? I know your new siblings will be soooo excited! (Ooo, got goosebumps on my left arm. That’s Erik saying, Hell, yeah!!!!) Love you Sweetie!

  • Elizabeth

    I’m very excited to be so welcomed into the family!!! And I’m very glad to hear Robert is feeling better.

    Love to you all!

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      YAY ELIZABETH!! We love you too!!! I hope you include your amazing story. If not, everyone check it out in the “Introduce yourself” part of the forum. I urge all newcomers to introduce yourselves too. And for those who have been lurking in the shadows for months, let us hear from you! We won’t bite. You might get tortured with a few virtual hugs, but…

  • Debbie B

    Hey Elisa,
    I had another Ah Ha moment today! I love when that happens cause usually my brain always seems to be in information sorting mode.. anyway, I had lunch today with my 85 year old Mom. She reminded me that this Sunday would have been my nephew Johns 22nd birthday. She went on to say how often she dreams of him, that he is walking towards her and calling her Gram and is reaching out to hug her. She says in her dreams she starts to cry then John disappears and she never gets to hug him. She carries tremendous grief and sorrow over the loss of her grandson. I on the other hand have had 2 dreams where I did actually hug John. He was a strong young guy with big shoulders and muscles and was known for his hugs. When I hugged John I could feel his muscles, his skin and his t-shirt BUT I wasn’t crying when he came to me. Of course I started to cry when we hugged and THEN he went away. So, what I have learned from this is the grief does affect your ability to connect with spirit, just as Erik, Jason and Robert have shared with us. I also never expect an outcome when I want to connect with spirit, I just kind of open my mind to whatever energy is available.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      This is amazing, Deb. You’ve given us experiential proof for what Erik and other spirits have said! It lends credence to everything else! Thanks for that!

  • mom2bzs

    What is an NG tube? I’m so glad to hear he’s being taken care of by a good specialist. Thanks for the update Elisa!

    Sherry

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Nasogastric tube. The one that goes through the nose to the stomach and sucks out all the gastric juices that collect to put the intestines at rest. I knew that abbreviation wold come back to bite me! Just trying to get by with shortcuts, naughty me.

  • Debbie B

    Elisa how/when did you discover Veronica was your guardian angel? I have been to her website and she is amazing, you lucky dog!

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Jeannie told me several months ago that my primary birth to death guardian angel was named Veronica. Then when I found out there was a famous guide of that name, I asked Jamie or someone if April Crawford’s Veronica was the same as mine and she said yes. They send the industrial strength ones for the needy I guess! (wink)

  • mom2bzs

    Laura,

    What you said really resonated with me. I too can cry for no reason. A lightwork teacher I had years ago told me it was past life residue. Glad to hear I’m not the only one.

    Are you Elisa’s sister? Robert has told me that you make awesome cinnamon buns.

    Sherry

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      No that’s my sister, Laura White!

  • laura Vanden Bosch

    Elisa,

    I think it could be. The universe giving us an opportunity to release, especially if you are already sensitive. peace and love laura

  • laura Vanden Bosch

    Elizabeth welcome. I am new to the family also. I am looking forward to more stories from you. peace and love laura

    I have a question about pregnant mothers and souls wanting to be their child. With three of my kids before I even knew I was pregnant, I had a dream that involved blood, and hearing people talk in the background. Either someone else made me bleed or I made myself bleed, then a few weeks later I would find out that I was pregnant. I always felt that it was the child and my and their guides that they were alerting me. One wanted me to be her mommy, one was for the father and one was for me. I know who each of these children are, then the last one, who was the only one who was unplanned, slipped in with no warning!!!! Im curious if Erik has anything on this, I firmly believe each one of these little souls hung around after conception. Any other moms have this experience?

  • Skoshi

    Elisa, isn’t it a coincidence that your sister is Laura White and my “sister” (Grandmother Stanley) was Grace Willa White? : )

    As far as when the soul enters the body, there are also us “walk-ins”. According to what Hethyrre’s guides told her, my original soul left when I died during the first open heart surgery, and a “new” soul, who had last incarnated and died in ’57, walked in. That was January ’02. She said the new soul promised to take on and resolve all the karma for the soul that left. Elisa, have you asked Erik about walk-ins?

    I’ve heard people who can see souls – like Jason – say that they’ve seen souls clearly uncomfortable about having to be squished down to the size of a baby and struggling to get comfortable in its new situation.

    Our power was off here for 3 hrs. this evening because of the storm. I hope y’all are ok out there and no one is stuck on the highway in the cold. – XOXO

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Seriously, Skoshi, you need to write a book about your life and your experiences!

  • Alexis

    On the topic of ghosts and spirits, our family owns/operates two Mexican restaurants, both located in buildings built in the late 1800′s.(SLC & Park City, Utah) Both are ‘haunted’–customers and employees alike have had up close and personal encounters with these individuals who no longer have a physical body. I can see them in my minds eye or I catch glimpses of them–dark shadows or sparkles–as they move around me. I am the decorator for both restaurants and am usually there after we close for the evening, working by myself into the wee hours (hard to paint walls and hammer stuff during the ‘lunch rush’:) Everyone thinks that I’m crazy to be there alone at night, most are all scared witless of the ‘ghosts’, but I find it’s great to be able to feel the undisturbed energy of the building, I love the peace and quite and I do talk to the ‘spirits’–maybe I am cuckoo;)! Anyhoo, last week I was replacing a strand of twinkle lights (think Christmas lights)that frame a large set of mirrored doors located on the second floor dining room, in Park City. I also have a garland of red roses which are interwoven with the lights. I had finished this project (about 3am) looked to make sure that the lights and roses were positioned ‘ok’, moved my ladder and put everything away so that I could move onto my next project. During the time that I was working, I was thinking about how people would feel about the decor and I was hoping that everything looked great–no negative feedback, please! I then went down stairs to get something that I had forgotten and when I got back up to the top of the stairs, something on the floor caught my eye. To my amazement on the landing in the middle of the clean tile floor, lay two rose leaves, the kind that have three individual leaves per stem, that were placed perfectly side by side. One tip faced east and one tip faced west. They were positioned at least 10-11 feet from the rose garland and lights, right in the middle of the landing that I had just cleaned. Bottom line, I was the only one there and since I did not put the rose leaves there and there is NO way that they could have fallen or blown there, I just had to assume that it meant at least SOMEBODY–my friendly ghosts :) –liked and approved of my work! Really, for me it was such a terrific validation of their approval–I know that it sounds silly, but I do think that they appreciate and respond to the fact that I care about how things are kept and I try to be respectful of them. My friend has photographs of several orbs on the very top staircase (three story building) and in the attic room of this particular building. A number of people have heard footsteps walking across the floor in the room above them when there is no one upstairs (daytime and nighttime) and several people have seen a gentleman dressed in black, turn of the century clothing (hat, boots, duster type coat) walk across the dining room and disappear. In broad daylight. OOOHHH, I have lots of ‘ghost’ stories to share and we don’t even need a campfire–although, maybe some ‘smores would be nice!
    XOX to ALL

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Alexis, have you ever thought about writing a book of ghost stories regarding the restaurant? I’d by that for sho.

  • Alexis

    Elisa,
    Thank you for the Veronica post–that’s one amazing guardian angel you have!
    Be Free My Angel,
    I’m sure that it was your Emily that visited me when I was ill–she looked just like a cherub–so angelic and sweet!

    Welcome to the family Elizabeth and Laura !!
    Elisa glad to hear Robert is ok and hope he gets that tube out it must be uncomfortable…

  • Anne B

    Posting on a blog is foreign to me but I’m going to give it a go. I feel like I should say something like “first time caller, long time listener” or in this case maybe “first time poster, long time reader”.

    I have been religiously reading the site since the first HuffPo article but have been quietly lurking in the shadows. Everyone has always seemed so enlightened that I wasn’t sure what I could possibly offer to the discussion but the past few posts have spoken to me on so many levels and has pulled me from out of the dark. Especially Erik’s response to Jane (through Jason) in yesterday’s post.

    I just wanted to thank you Elisa, Erik and the Channeling Erik family for helping me on my journey. It has transformed my views on life, death and being the person I need to be. It feels like a part of me has been awakened. Though I struggle daily with what it is that I am supposed to do in this life, I find comfort knowing that the Channeling Erik family is here helping me find my way and giving me the support I need to get there.

    I read the site every night and it is just so uplifting. It fills my heart and gives me hope and promise for the next day. Thank you so much for that wonderful gift.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      YAY, Anne has come out of hiding!! Don’t worry about “levels of enlightenment.” Erik says there is no ranking like that. I can say, personally, that most of the other blog members are much more knowledgeable when it comes to spiritual matters than me. It doesn’t make me feel inferior. I’m just a grateful student of theirs. Plus, don’t sell yourself short. I can tell by how you write that you are a very deep well of wisdom. And this OUR blog, yours too. You’re family now and forever. We’re here for you just as you’re here for us. I’m SOOO happy you posted! I love you!!

  • http://www.latikatripathi.com Purvi Beri

    Interesting! We learnt in Hypnotherapy classes that the soul enters the womb by the 4th month and the 4th day of the 9 months term…and then can come in and go out as it chooses till birth…meaning it does not need to be stationed in the womb all the time. The kicks are ususally when it enters or leaves. I like what Erik is saying, makes sense.

    Veronica is wonderful! I’ve watched some youtube videos too.

    Love and Light to Robert.

  • Christine

    Exactly. Just sayin.

  • http://www.supernaturalsensitives.com Only4Love

    My mother has told me in the past she can remember a dream of being born into this life with all the squeezing and uncomfortable-ness of going through an small tunnel and eventually seeing the light at the end of a tunnel and the feeling of a release ….she used to think it was not a true thing but…I have since told her… it was a real dream in her real imagination.

    Any kind of dream having that much impact on you many years later ……..is most definatley nothing to ignore and pass off as unimportant.

    Both my grandfather and great aunt have a alzheimers and I have thought what Erik had said was true (or maybe of been told this through my guides) is what happens but have not heard or read about it…….so thank you for the confimation on this.

    But…I have read that the reason for this condition is because of denying yourself the use of your imagination or the shutting down of your inner child……it is very important not to deny yourself free child like fun time…..I have been told.

      Interesting. You know I’ve already asked the spiritual cause of tons of diseases/disorders, though I haven’t gotten to that recording to transcribe yet. I’ll add dementia to that as well. Any other suggestions from you guys?

  • Skoshi

    Ooof! That NG tube must be as iritating as can be, Robert! Hope it is removed today. Sending you Reiki. – XOXO

  • http://www.supernaturalsensitives.com Only4Love

    Jason….very cool about your seeing your sister inlaws pregnancy shimmer….I see shimmer and energy movement when there are spirits around but not ever around someone who is pregnant. You have a very open third eye I can see!

  • Stanley

    Hello,

    First I wanted to say to please pass it on to Robert that I hope he gets better real soon. I am still catching up on past entries and didn’t know he was ill. I jumped to this one because the subject caught my eye. As for spirits waiting to enter till after the baby’s body is born makes sense to me. You know, babies just born sleeping for hours and hours makes sense to me because maybe it’snot that they are tired, but that they need some time out of that tight tiny body for awhile and so it just appears that they are sleeping all the time. Plus it does refresh. I have found when I astral that when I return, even if it’s just a hour or two my body seems to like recharge more than if I got 8 hours of regular old sleep. Like when you astral your body goes into super recharge or something. I love it. So I would imagine that’s why babies must choose to leave the body every now and then. Who doesn’t need a break once in a while? :)

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      I’m with ya on that, Stan the Man. Can’t wait til my second childhood!

  • http://www.supernaturalsensitives.com Only4Love

    Elisa…..I love Veronica and I found Aprils website a few years ago and felt an immediate connection to her…..it is so funny how we all find the connections through what we love and end up finding our spirit family…so cool!

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Serendipity. Gotta love it!

  • http://www.supernaturalsensitives.com Only4Love

    Elisa,
    When we come here we are going through such a trial and what happens is… no matter how evolved you are before coming here and no matter how clean your slate is before reincarnating…..if you get caught up in a negative spiral or vortex you have a very hard time coming back to heaven without karma…which causes you to have to come back into the physical to redo and compensate for what had happened in the past…..not all souls want to…. but will out of love. I feel this might of happened to me before coming into this body! So our spirit family knows that it is a very difficult place to reincarnate.

    Kathy

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      Yes, and from what Erik says, karma is a purely human construct. It doesn’t exist in the afterlife because there is no external judgment. You only judge yourself, but objectively. I take that to mean that karma is basically a list of issues the soul plans to work through to further its progress.

  • http://www.supernaturalsensitives.com Only4Love

    Elisa….needy ones….I do not think so!

  • Steve

    Have you ever watched “The Haunted” on Animal Planet channel? I tape these shows. Pretty cool stuff. Sometimes the hauntings are negative as some souls are angry and not willing to go to the light right away. Usually, they can be sent off though and the hauntings end.

    As far as when the soul enters the body…from the multitudes of sources I’ve read over the years, the soul usually doesn’t enter the fetus until the 2nd or 3rd trimester. The soul moves in and out, but it has to meld with the fetus’ brain and let the fetus get used to its presence. Yes, some souls wait until near or after birth, but I wasn’t aware that most do that.

    The whole abortion thing comes up here too. With an abortion, you are destroying the fetus, not the soul. There is no judgement about that from Spirit. The soul will just enter with the next fetus if the one is aborted by the mother (naturally or artificially).

    It’s not to say that one should or shouldn’t have an abortion, but I believe that is truly up to the mother/parents. Souls are eternal, so from Spirits’ perspective, it’s not the huge issue we have here.

  • Denise

    RE: crying. I cannot seem to control my crying, it comes whenever. I always thought I was just extremely emotional/ sensitive. Are you extremely emotional? It would be nice to know that I was actually doing some good for myself rather than just too weak to manage my emotions.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      I am extremely emotional, Denise, in that I’m very, very sappy and affectionate. It drives my kids nuts. But crying is so important as a release. A person can only hold in so much emotion. It has to flow out. So crying is sort of like a release valve. Also, it’s a barometer of truth. Tears and truth walk hand in hand. Tears know truth.

  • Leo

    Believe me it is most uncomfortable. You keep trying to swallow it. It presses on your throat and you automatically try to swallow whatever is there. However as Elisa stated, it is important to get rid of any build up of gastric juices. Really enjoy the comments here and find it to be in line with my understanding. Really glad to hear that Robert is getting better. My spirit teacher has been keeping up with his progress. He has been there quite a bit. Jason, Robert and Erik are now very close with my spiritual teacher.
    (my wife’s guide)

  • Be Free My Angel

    Denise – I’ve been told all my life Im too sensitive, well, pthhh, to that. I’ve got valleys of depth that I can see here in soulful, loving people that all those others who say Im sensitive can’t seem to understand. As we can feel love intensly so we can feel pain too. Im 41 and just starting to feel comfortable with that fact. You also may be experiencing some sort of spirit guidance. Tears are the mark of great love.

    “There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief…and unspeakable love.” Washington Irving

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      What a poignant quote from Irving. Wow. Sent shivers down my spine.

  • http://www.supernaturalsensitives.com Only4Love

    To Elisa and anyone interested in metaphysical ideas of reason for disease in the body….a good author to look up is Louise Hay … she has a book about this subject. I forget the name of the book but…she has her own web site called hayhouse.com with all of her books and other authors like her.

      That’s right! I used to read Louise Hay books all the time when I was younger!

    only4love – that’s cool about your mom…maybe that’s where the catch phrase “light at the end of the tunnel” really started.

    I’m so glad to hear this about when souls enter the body. I distinctly remember my “soul birth” in this life and I was already home from the hospital on the military base where my body was born. I opened my eyes and I was in a white wicker basket on the middle of our dining room table. It was just past dawn and I started flailing my legs and arms and screaming my head off, frustrated that I was trapped in this tiny useless body. I woke my father and I KNEW he was my father, and saw him come out of a back bedroom half asleep in a t-shirt and boxer shorts. His face loomed in towards mine and then disappeared only to reappear moments later and he stuck a pat of butter in my mouth with his index finger and that sweet creamy flavor filled my senses and I suddenly stopped all my fussing and accepted my fate. I realized that I had come into this world to experience things through these physical senses. After that I was outside of myself (body) and it was like I was watching a movie on fast forward and I literally saw years flash by, the first years of my life in a matter of moments until it came to a “stop” at about two-and-a-half, at a very traumatic moment when my parents were having a huge fight and I’ve remained in “real time” ever since. Years later I asked my mother about the white basket and she said “how did you know that?” They did not have a crib for the first week I was born and had borrowed a white wicker basket from my Aunt and they kept me on the dining room table that first week so this is not my imagination. It is a distinct first memory.

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      That is perhaps the most detailed early memory account I’ve ever heard of! I wonder why some people remember birth, right after birth and early infancy while others don’t. Maybe it’s all about the level of enlightenment and how it relates to awareness? I dunno.

  • http://www.supernaturalsensitives.com Only4Love

    Denise, I have found that when you are intuitive ….we will run into patches of emotional upset….and recently I would experience these types of senerios also…I would have no reason to cry and infact I questioned why?….I was happy going about my business…so excited to be aware of my surroundings and then boom…I would be overcome with emotions….I thought maybe it is the hormones just turning 40 and all…I have come to find that these are called catharic experiences and it is when your heart chakra opens up and it is usually to get rid of old emotional pain so you can move forward more fearlessly and propells you to take action or move into your power… Also it could be an angel is around you or someone in spirit that you love is around letting you know they are there!
    Kathy

  • http://www.supernaturalsensitives.com Only4Love

    Amy….WOW…..that is so unbelievable…leaving the body thing can happen when we become scared and want to detach from situations we do not want to deal with and will help us to survive more comfortably…..that is what I hear anyways.

    Hi All,
    Chiming in on the karma thing. It may be a human construct, but it’s a big one and I think it is what is behind the reason for all the struggles/pain and ultimately the reason we are in this time/matter construct to begin with!
    The message from Veronica got me to thinking about it – unresolved energies from past lives and how they play a part in us being where we are now. Eastern thought suggests that we came here originally aware of our connection to God and so we weren’t invoking karma but the time/matter combo was so seductive we got caught up in the ego and forgot who we were. This is the truth behind the “fall” in the bible. Knowledge of this place made us put on clothes and move out of the garden of eden – and start, unknowing evoking karma (which is just cause and effect). Now that we are remembering we can begin to knowingly “not invoke new karma”. Karma is just relative to this place because it relates to “actions” in time/matter that we as souls are accountable
    for in terms of “consequence” which has to happen here in order for it to be dispelled. I think this is how we get off the “wheel of rebirth” and are free to evolve beyond. Any thoughts from my theosophical buddies out there?

    • http://drmedhus.com Elisa

      I wonder about the whole karma thing too. I think it’s not something externally bestowed upon the soul, but rather an ever-revising curriculum for the self-paced life that is the human experience. So it’s designed by us while we’re in the spiritual plane, but it plays out in the physical one. Is that right?

  • Denise

    Only4Love,
    I like your idea of emotional upheaval due to emotional trash removal or an angel patting me on the head…there,there…

    I have been visiting and reading this website now for quite awhile, but have not yet “joined the family” as it were. I had to respond to Elisa and others in how they cry soo easily. I am also someone who cries at everything.. watching a commercial, movies, seeing someone else cry, etc. I hate to go to funerals because I become a blabbering idiot. I have been on a spiritual path now for several years and have read many books by Doreen Virtue, Neale Donald Walsh, Gary Renard, and others, and I can say that most of what Eric says just confims that of other spiritual writers and mediums. Since I have been reading all the blogs, I almost feel like I know many of these people sharing their stories. I have not had as many experiences as most of them, but what I read resonates with me. I do remember having a couple out of body experiences in my twenties, and always feeling like I did not fit in with the rest of my family.. Anyway, I am wishing Robert a very speedy recovery and thanks to Elisa and Eric, etal for helping me on my path.

      Hey Karen A. I was just thinking about that today. I’ve only known Robert for a few months, but as I was giving him a bath and shampooing his hair in the hospital, I felt so much Love welling up inside. At that emotional moment, it came to me: I feel closer to the blog members than I do to some of my “real friends.” I feel like I’ve known most of you all my life, maybe longer! I’m glad you’ve come out of hiding. Please stay out and play with us. (or I’ll burst into tears-heehee)

    Amy – My daughter had a similar experience. She was just brought home from the hospital, layed in the bassinet, was asleep and I was looking for my kitty. He was sick and under the bed, I had no idea he was sick, we did wind up loosing him :( But when she was two, she asked me where the kitty was and looked under my bed, when she was 4/5/6 we would talk about the kitty and why she would look for it. Now she doesn’t rememeber the kitty but remembers us always talking about it. She repeated things that happened that day, so it wasn’t that she was seeing spirit kitty, she was replaying what happened like it just happened. Kewl :)

    I was not afraid. I think I was outside myself so I did not have to experience the mundane day-to-day of learning to walk and talk but I had to return to experience the trauma and fear I felt as my parents fought. where most people block that stuff out, I made a point of making sure I remembered every one of those fearful episodes in my childhood because I did not want to grow up and repeat the mistakes of my parents. I remember telling myself just that as I went through each trauma.

    in answer to the karma thingy and the idea that we design it in the spiritual realm and come here to play it out…my take on it is that the karma is something we have built up by being here and not knowing any better. The soul is responsible for it because everything is connected. Robert gave us a good example on the phone. Erik said that in past lives he was the (can’t remember exact words) protector, comforter of others in the family. This time it was the other way around, which would contribute to absolving that karmic aspect that was in play. I think it is less about souls wanting to experience a painful life as it is abuot them wanting to complete the “cause and effect” in which they’ve become entangled.
    BTW: love, love, love the picture of Robert with the iced blue gloves – a brilliant idea. I am so glad you are with him i know he couldn’t be in better hands. You are an angel in disguise dear Elisa.

    Great message from Veronica! And absolutely the truth. Replacing that negative energy with positive energy is really essential in getting past many life issues!

    So glad Robert is feeling better! Still sending lots of energy his way!

    I found your community just a short time ago in my search for some answers regarding an incredible experience. Months ago we lost our 13 year old German shepherd. His name was Bacchus… Beautiful, intelligent and every other good thing one could say about their dog… He fell asleep one day after he and I had a heart to heart and I asked him something I had never asked him before – to please let go and return home to Heaven. Watching him struggle to stay with us and especially to stay for me – I had a moment of generosity and felt the need to set him free to float away. After he left, I cried for months and just could not seem to return to a tranquil state where I was able to invite a new puppy into our life. I was sad and my sweet husband did not know how to comfort me. I did not know how to comfort me other than to talk to my sweet big boy who had passed on, or to talk to God. I constantly asked for guidance. I am a spiritual being and my guidance did finally come. I felt strongly led to get a German Shepherd from Germany, complete with a unique German name which came to me in an inspirational moment. Some months after my initial guidance, I acted on the inspiration which was once again present. Still crying at the thought or mention of my old friend Bacchus, I ordered the German Shepherd dog which I had found on the Internet… Ironically, I selected him and when I spoke with the breeder, he said he had one special dog who sounded like a perfect fit for me. Yes, it was the same dog which I had selected from his 40 plus photos of dogs. To make a long story shorter, Oberon arrived and within hours this gorgeous 2 year old German Shepherd was eating out of my hand. He followed me all around my house and looked at me with the eyes and spirit of my old friend, Bacchus. Just to make all of this make sense, I am no stranger to creating a life filled with abundance, joy and Love. I coach transformation on the weekends, in addition to my regular job, as I love how coaching keeps me on my path. Giving Love by using my gift to coach a person who is on their path is really my gift to me too:) So here it is… My old dog has “walked-in” to the dog I imported from Frankfurt Germany. Previous to this I had no idea it was even possible. I found “Erik” as I was searching the Internet for someone to help me and give me some information about this subject in general and hopefully my specific situation. I spoke with am animal communicator and she said he was a walk-in. So now I am asking and have found only 1 person who has had this experience besides the animal communicator. So spirit directed me to Erik:) I could write the book “Come back to me”. Please can you ask Erik to tell me how this could possibly happen and if others have had this experience? I probably sound like a wacko and that is fine … This is the most special gift imaginable! A second chance with my wonderful Bacchus, now Oberon… is more than worth it. I still cry – Tears of Joy these days! He acts like a 2 year old puppy which is comical for my old soul friend. I am loving watching him grow-up again and embracing everything he does as I now know how quickly our time together can go. His digging up the yard and any information would be so appreciated! Anyone who has had or seen this happen… Please email me.

      Oh, of course animal souls can be walk-ins! And if Oberon feels like Bacchus, he probably is! Especially if Bacchus had a hard time leaving you before. Sweet dog! Anyone else have this experience?
