No one is guessing Erik’s favorite beer, so I’m going to give you a short list. Remember, only one guess per person, and those of you who have already guessed can try again. Shiner Bock Lone Star Long Neck Fat Tire Blue Moon Dos XX St. Pauli Girl Samuel Adams Red Stripe Corona Modelo Be...
Human Experience: The Basics, Part One
Yay, this is the last of the accidentally published posts! Before you read on though, I have some announcements. First, no one guessed Erik’s first set of wheels! 🙁 It’s a baby walker! (although the baby in the photo is not him.) I’d also like to announce that sweet, sweet blog member, Amy Cofeltt,...
Channeling Judy Garland
Welcome to our second Celebrity Friday. Today’s guest is Judy Garland. Before you read on, let’s have another contest. Here’s the question: What was Erik’s first set of wheels? The winner gets to submit the next Ask Erik question. All I ask is that the submission is something everyone can benefit from. Please stay away...
Erik’s Growth, Part Two
Today is a very sad day. A friend that my daughter, Annika, has known since preschool died Friday in a very tragic way. She and our family were very close. She even traveled with us to San Antonio and Florida. I went to the viewing yesterday, and, as is always the case, it was clear...
A Special Message from Erik
This is so important that I’m posting it alone. It can’t be buried in another post. Apparently, one of you is in deep need, distraught, looking for answers. You faith is being tested. Whomever this is meant for (and Erik wouldn’t tell me) he wants you to watch this video. Listen to the lyrics, and...
It’s All About Me
Yet another post that I forgot to publish. It had been hanging out in my drafts folder feeling all lonely and neglected. Me: What’s the reason or purpose or what’s the lesson to be learned from the epidemic of self-pity but also this sense of entitlement. I’m not sure if that’s related to self-pity or...
Are You Stuck?
Remember in the Jesus interview how Erik told Jesus to show everyone how cool he was, and Jesus changed into a t-shirt and jeans? If I ever publish a book on the celebrity interviews, one blog member said it should be entitled, “Jesus Wears T-Shirts and More Stories From the Other Side.” I love it!...
Just to Funny to Not Share
I know this has nothing to do with spiritual stuff, but this video from my daughter’s YouTube channel (PrettyShinySparkly) is just too hilarious to keep to myself.
Channeling Albert Einstein
Okay, I’m completely flummoxed. I received the following email from a blog member (who shall remain nameless, of course), and I just don’t know what she’s referring to. I’d like to know, because if I’ve done something disrespectful, I need to know so I can change my mindset and behavior. In other words, I’d like...
Erik’s Voice Caught on Radio Show
Not long ago, Jamie, Erik and I were guests on a radio show, Angels in the Buff. The host sent me the mp3 of the segment along with a comment that she may have heard a voice on the recording. Intrigued, I checked it out and oh yeah, big time EVP. In it, Erik shouts...
Welcome New Visitors
Dear Reader, Although Erik sometimes paints a rosy picture of the afterlife, time and time again he stresses that suicide is not the answer to one’s problems. If you struggle, please understand that the information in my blog and my books is no substitute for professional help. Please click here for a list of resources...
Are You a Bush or a Tree?
Hey Erik. Erik refers me to the blog to catch up on the past few entries. This morning, and over the past few weeks I’ve been having “background” conversations with Erik about suicide, and I was really on the fence with writing about it publically. Erik points at the blog and is like, “Look, it’s...
Ask Erik: Marcie’s Questions
Here’s something we can all learn from. Me: The winner of the first Ask Erik submissions is Marcie. She says, “I hope I am not too late to send a question to Erik. I had written to you a couple of weeks ago about my husband having schizophrenia and that he had almost killed himself...
Jamie Describes Working with Erik
I’ve had so many emails lately from people sharing their incredible stories of pranks, signs and visits from Erik. Could you guys pretty please copy and paste those stories and insert them in the community news page? Just go to the tab “About Erik” at the top of the homepage, then select “Erik Encounters” from...
The Four Roommates
Now that we all get a picture of what a beautiful, gentle, wise soul Erik is (and how well Robert gets along with (and, yes, tolerates) Erik, I gave him a couple of questions to ask Erik. Here’s the first one. I’ll post the second one Monday and then on Tuesday I’ll share the first...
Introducing Robert, Part Two
Here is the second of three installments! In this one, you’ll more about the relationship between Robert and Erik. I’d also like to announce that not only are the YouTubes of the celebrity interviews now public, I’ve also changed all the celebrity interview posts to public as well. ***************************** Me: Share some of the things...
Introducing Robert, Part One
Amy, Jamie’s assistant, sent me some photos from the Channeling Erik Weekend. Looking at them reminds me of how much fun it was and how fond I became of all the sweet souls there. Now, the moment that many of you have been waiting for, I’d like to introduce you to my dear friend,...
Children Spirits
Happy Monday everyone! I’m still transcribing my first session with Robert as well as the Ask Erik answers to the winner of that submission. It takes a long time with these fingers which, for some reason, seemed to have turned into nubs with a mind of their own or fat little Vienna Sausages that can’t...
