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.

Communication

Blog member Amber mentioned a link to a BBC radio show a coming drama about babies refusing to be born in such a cruel world; she found it very poignant. Here’s the link: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01kt43s I’d like to think the substitute teacher chose this series of topics independently, however now realize they’ve been “supplied”; the content...

Organization of Society & Politics

This is a subject likely to stimulate, and it comes at a good time; a comment to a recent post asked about George Soros’ role in a “One World Government” and euthanasia. These subjects lead naturally to society and politics. Sidebar – many comments have expressed thanks and the substitute teacher often responds. The replies...

Science & Spirituality – Continued

More detail was suggested on this recent topic. I warned it could be detailed, but the comment suggested it would be worthwhile; that proof gains acceptance. This last aspect is more of a challenge, which I enjoy as much as scientific aspects, so let’s see. Skeptics certainly enjoy their power of doubt, strength of uncertainty...

Alzheimers, Comas and Mental Illness

As I sit here next to my mother who is hours away from her transition, I was overcome with the urge to reach out to you all with a post. When I saw what subject was next in queue, I realized that synchronicity was at work, as always. You see, my mother suffers from dementia...

Friday the 13th

As the below is posted, I see Elisa has indeed given us an update. Great news that she’s able to do so. =========================================================  The 12th came and went before I could get this out and I am sorry for that because we all had such a lively debate over…lots of stuff! I now recognize the...

Doomsday Preparation

A theme seen in more than a few blog member comments is concern. Will there be shortages of basics such as food? As an important thing, to state it mildly, so I turn it over to The Committee. ST = substitute teacher  C = The Committee ST:       Comments to recent posts have inquired about preparation for difficult...

Commerce, Parasite Bankers & The Travel Experience

The Committee commandeers the sleigh and takes the reins; both Erik and your humble substitute teacher have been belted into the back seat, huge pacifiers stuck into our mouths as The Committee cracks the whip and pursues answers to three good questions asked in the previous post. Watch out, Dasher! Steady there Dancer, Prancer and Vixen! Easy...

Economics 2012

When Elisa first asked us all about Sunday off, I offered to substitute, to gracious acceptance. I first intended to only post my own website material but confess I enjoy Erik’s involvement so much, I included it where I otherwise wouldn’t. For any readers of that website – www.theamendment.net – I will post here what...

Potpourri, Elisa & Aliens

Your humble substitute teacher has just read three excellent questions from Saturday’s posting on timing and probability of events; they cover a potpourri of subjects and The Committee in turn replies. The Committee will also discuss aliens; let’s briefly turn to Elisa as our priority. I chose not to mention the reason for Elisa’s unavailability...

Future Events, Timing & Probability

The substitute teacher steps in one day early. Elisa is occupied with pressing family matters and will be unable to post. She’s fine, no worries about her. Please suggest in the comments whatever questions you’d like Erik, The Committee or both, to address. How long Elisa will be absent even she doesn’t know. Let’s cover...

Organized Religion in 2012 and Beyond

Many of you who have been raised in a particular faith such as Judaism, Christianity, Islam, etc. really grapple with the conflict of how to remain true to that faith and still embrace concepts of spirituality: the absence of Hell, past lives and reincarnation, perspectives on suicide and much, much more. Here, Erik tries to...

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.
