Me: Can you define a dimension? How many are there? How are they created? Also, can we change them with our collective thought? I figured there are infinite number of dimensions, right? Erik: There are. Me: So, how are they created? Erik: They’re defined by perception. They’re not created. They exist. That’s like energy. It’s...
No More Diets!
God how I wish I knew how to do this. Me: Jamie, have you heard about that guy who feeds himself on energy alone. He says that for the last 70 years he’s had nothing to eat or drink. I think he puts some weird stuff on his head like some special substance. They have...
One Day in the Life of Erik
You know we always ask Erik about matters of the universe, the afterlife, the soul, the human experience. The one day it dawned on me; I never ask about him! This post accomplishes that and more. Me: How are you, Erik? Jamie: He says he’s been doing very well. He’s been taunting me all morning...
Marfa Lights
It’s always fascinating when Erik reveals information about the World’s greatest mysteries. I hope you enjoy this one. Me: What about Marfa Lights. What are they all about? I think they’re in Texas really close to Big Bend National Park. Erik: What about them? Me: I don’t know. They’re lights that show up and nobody...
Emotional Intelligence and Common Sense
These posts were kind of short so you’re getting a 2-fer even though they’re very unrelated subjects! Me: Are there variations of emotional intelligence? Not just tapping into information but emotions too? Because there are some people here who are pretty emotionally clueless. My husband’s one of them, and sometimes he’ll say something and Annika...
Munchin on Love
Another great post from our resident spirit translator and Erik bud, Kate Sitka. (An Erik & Kate conversation.) This morning, I’d been thinking about a reading with a friend / client last week, where she’d asked, “What is with all this WATER? I’m drinking so much water lately.” She is healthy (not diabetic) just intuitively...
Channeling Erik Events
There will be a post today, but I also wanted you guys to sign up for these events that Erik and Jamie are hosting. (Trick or) treat yourself to something special. You deserve it. Jamie and Erik’s Web Class Spooktacular – Learning to Use an Ouija Board Wednesday, October 30 at 6:00 PM EST Just...
The Spiritual Basis for Depression
Me: Anyway, let’s go to the sister of anxiety and go on the depression. A lot of people out there are depressed now, and of course it seems like there’s more incidence of depression now. What’s behind that, spiritually? Why do people get depressed? Erik: There is, first, let’s not get it confused, Mom. Those...
The Spiritual Basis for Anxiety
Me: Let’s talk about a disorder that a lot of people suffer from greatly and that’s social anxiety. For example, some people have moments when they feel anxious at a party, but some people are very disabled with this disorder that they can’t even leave their house. Tell me about the spiritual basis for that...
Spirit Smarts
Me: On the earthly plane, there are humans that have varying degrees of intelligence. Some like Stephen Hawkins and Einstein are geniuses. When we pass, does our IQ level go with us or are we all the same on the other side and is intelligence only a factor of particular brain chemistry? Erik: No, the...
Backwards in Time
Me: This is about merging with knowledge rather than learning it in a linear manner. Have we had this ability before but evolved to lose that skill? In The Clan of the Cave Bear, the author writes about how ancient man had the capacity of having all knowledge and were guided and reminded to remember...
It’s All About Feelings
Me: Your feelings are based on beliefs, how you interpret reality, and if your beliefs don’t serve you, aka they’re “wrong” which of course can’t be since there is not right or wrong, you’ll have misguided feelings. Then someone tries to help you. You misunderstand them and cut them off. You feel like they’re a...
Believe
Yesterday as I was taking my walk, I had a very strong urge to listen to a song by Trans-Siberian Orchestra called Believe. I heard Erik’s voice in my head telling me that this song was meant as a message from him to all of us. The lyrics are so fitting and poignant. They make me love...
Faith in Doughnuts
Hi Erik. I’ve been thinking a lot about faith lately. I was listening to Theresa Caputo’s autobiography and I noticed that she operates with a high level of faith associated with her Catholic upbringing. My parents raised me with a focus on nature and family, but also with an openness to a variety of philosophical...
Afterlife Research
Me: What’s the future of afterlife research? Erik: Oh, kick-ass question. Long pause Jamie: Okay, back up, Erik. Long pause Jamie (to Erik): So 3 years for what? Pause Jamie (to Erik): Oh. Jamie: Okay. He’s talking about in three years when science gets a grasp on spirituality, of afterlife—we’ll call it afterlife—he’s um. (Giggling)...
Housekeeping
Again, I want to encourage you to listen to the video interview my publisher did with me recently, not to listen to the sound of my voice, but to make sure you don’t miss out on some things. I don’t know the particulars, but during the interview, Deb Snyder tells you how you can book...
The Eyes Have It
Wow, I totally forgot to click “publish” on this one. It was sitting in my drafts folder! Arggh! Sorry guys. It’s hell gettin’ old! Me: Good! Let’s talk about a situation; I’ll call it that is very dear to my heart since I had eye surgery the last couple of weeks. Why do people have...
Exit Points and Free Will
This past weekend was a tough one. I buried Erik four years ago Saturday. I miss him a lot and I’m still feeling down in the dumps today. I hate this time of year with his birthday the end of September, his death the first part of October and his burial mid-October. Fall used to...
