On October 6, 2009, my 20-year-old son Erik, took his own life. Since that sad and tragic day, an overwhelming sense of grief and despair propelled me into a search for answers. Answers that would provide me and others with comfort and hope. Some of those answers came from the many books I bought, but many came from an unexpected source: Erik himself. Read more.

Playing Football with Angels

I thought I’d share my little preparation ritual, before Erik & I get into this conversation.  I usually set up an “appointment” ahead of time; I send it out by thinking strongly of him and saying, “Today I can write at (this time).  Is that good for you?”  He always says yes to me. Can’t...

The Best of Erik: We’re All Raindrops

Thanks, guys for letting me post recycled posts during  my little four day vacation. We’re start the new ones again tomorrow or Monday! Me: One blog member has brought up this philosophy, ACIM. It’s central thought is that the entire material world and all perception is completely devoid of reality—that’s it’s all a dream made...

Libido Problems

This is an issue that is so relevant in this day and age. I don’t know, maybe they suffered from libido problems in the Viking Age. I bet that’s behind the whole “rape and pillage” thing. Those Viking women we’re getting it up. Then there’s the Renaissance Era when it seemed like both men and...

Evolution, DNA and All That Junk

Me: Tell me about evolution. It seems weird that, in 50,000 years or whatever, we’ve gone from a little microbe to this point by evolutionary pressure alone. Erik (chuckling): Why? Cuz what we are now is pretty lame? Me: Oh, Erik! Seriously. We’re so complex, biologically. How can it just be from spontaneous mutations? Erik:...

Afraid of the Dark (Matter)?

Me: Here’s one from a gentleman. “I’ve often wondered if dark matter, the majority of space that puzzles scientists so much, what it is? Is it thought/consciousness/spirit? Can I get an amen from Erik?” What is dark matter, Erik? I think we’ve covered this long ago. Jamie: Yes, I think we did. Erik: The gray...

Thought and Emotion

I have great news, everyone! Blog member, Mike Hulse, tipped me off to a great way to create a mobile-friendly format. So, log into Channeling Erik on your smartphone and check it out. Mike is my new favorite genius. Thanks, Mikey! Me: If consciousness really works lie a massive computer network, thought takes you from...

Alms for the Poor?

Me: I’d like to talk about homeless people now. Tell me about that. Well, first of all, should we give money to them? You know there are a lot of questions about that. Some think that they’ll just spend it on alcohol, tobacco or drugs and  that it might perpetuate their plight. Or maybe we...

Human Animal

Hey Erik, So Erik was just hovering over my shoulder as I posted this entry on the question “Are animals Spititual?”  http://psychicintraining.com/2013/06/18/are-animals-spiritual/  After I posted it, there he was, asking questions.  He busts my chops a bit, I bust his too. Okay, so right at the end of the entry, I said this:  “I just...

Spirit Impostors

I think it’s funny that this post is about impostors, because I just saw that Cap’n Crunch is one, too. Apparently they decided, from the gold stripes on his sleeves, that he is actually a Commander, not a Captain. He’s been pulling the wool over our eyes all along and has been summarily demoted for...

Judgment from Others

Sorry this is such a short post. That always makes me feel guilty. But I think it’s a powerful one and is an issue all of us deal with in life.  Me: Ignoring the judgments of others. That’s easier said than done, Erik. How do you ignore the judgments of the choices you’ve made in...

Where to Begin

If you're new to Channeling Erik, I recommend you read the backstory first. Then, I suggest you start with the very first post. In doing so you can follow my journey just as I did, through the inexplicable, inconceivable, and yet utterly undeniable surprises that I have encountered since my son''s death. Welcome.
