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.

Sex, TV and Who’s on Top

Before we begin, I’d like to update everyone on the state of grief in the family. Erik’s siblings are finally allowing themselves to feel anger and sorrow. For the last year, most of them have taken comfort in the attitude, “He’s in a better place and no longer suffering. I’m happy for him,” but now,...

Soul Groups and Occupations

Sorry for not writing much of a preface here, but it’s been a very hectic workday, and I have to squeeze these transcriptions in whenever I get the chance. Again, you’ll notice I’ve asked Erik some of the same questions through different mediums in an effort to seek a uniform and consistent message. I hope...

Why the Human Experience

I know I’ve addressed this question before, but again, I love getting Erik’s perspective from different mediums. Part of me wants confirmation to bolster my status as a recently reformed skeptic, and part of me wants to see if Erik has learned more about the subject so that he can share additional details and delve...

More About the Afterlife

Before we share more on the nature of the afterlife, I have a quick announcement. As I said before, we have a new forum. The old one had too many glitches. Also, the new one allows us to upload images! Jason very kindly and expertly added some interesting topics, so I hope you take the...

How Erik Chooses Who to Visit

I've often wondered how Erik chooses which blog members to visit, haven't you? Many months ago, he seem to pop in on readers randomly just for the thrill of their reaction. Look back on his visit to Damien in Ireland. (Erik Travels Abroad, posted July 23rd) As you may remember, more highly evolved spiritual beings...

Ask Erik: Kerry’s Question

Kerry’s Questions Elisa, Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly.  I agree, I worry that the e-mail I previously sent would have too much identifying information.  So, in interest of anonymity, here are the basic facts: Me: Kerry; from Tyler, TX; I was 16 when Brian and I met, 23 when...

More on Suicide

Parts of this entry may be met with controversy, as you will soon see. No politics, though, I promise. You're advice on whether to edit out those parts will be very much appreciated. Erik was not at all clear about whether or not I should filter some of his volatile comments. Channeling Transcript Me: Okay,...

Erik’s Death

Me: Okay, so one thing we didn’t really cover in detail is what happened after you died, Erik. I know you went to see your friend, Valentin, then you went to Norway to see your grandfather and then to see Denise, but can you give me more blow by blow specifics? Erik: You mean after...

Maribelle’s Amazing Experience

Here’s a fantastic story a blog reader shared with me. Her experience was occurring while she typed the text below in an email she then sent to me. After you read this, perhaps you can offer her your insight. Personally, I think she was surrounded by spiritual boarders, but your input would be great! Hi...

Children in Heaven

Before I share this post, I’d like to tell you all how much I love you. I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving. And to those of you who, like me, will be missing the presence of a loved one tomorrow, know that they are and will be with you forever. We must try to...

A Big Hug for Jason

This entry is all Jason and Erik. I found it so heartwarming and timely just before Thanksgiving. Enjoy! Elisa!  Guess what!  I got an Erik manifestation I’ve not experienced before last night! Here’s the story. So, Erik and Robert and one of my Teachers has been helping me with an emotional issue I’d been having...

While You Were Sleeping…

After you read this, you’ll never feel like a lazy slob for sleeping in! Channeling Transcript Me: Erik, are you aware of people who are sleeping coming over to visit in the afterlife? In other words, when people are sleeping in bed, can they travel to the afterlife so that they’re physical bodies are like...

Is the Afterlife Real?

Channeling Transcript Me: Okay, here’s another interesting one, Erik. One reader wants to know if someone, perhaps Jamie, Kim, Jeannie, me or someone else, could prove to skeptics that the afterlife is real, even applying for the Randi Foundation. I think the prize is around a million dollars or so. We could use that to...

A Sad Announcement

I just heard that Skoshi will no longer be visiting the blog. Apparently her computer acts up every time she does, and she has to reboot. She spent all day trying to fix her laptop, has missed work, has had to take it in the the “computer doctor” etc. Has anyone else had this problem?...

The Shift

Sorry this video doesn’t come with the embed code, but since we’ve been talking about the coming Shift, the fact that my sister, Teri, posted this on my Facebook wall smacked of synchronicity. I’ve watched other videos from the series and they’re amazing! This is an audiobook (Bringers of the Dawn by Barbara Marciniak) worth...

Practicing Visualizations with Erik

Below is an email exchange between CEF members Jason, Robert and Sharon regarding visualization techniques with Erik. Funny but powerful stuff. If any of you want to act as teams to practice your channeling/visualization techniques, I’m sure Erik would be glad to entertain you. Since he’s very easy to channel (and very, very chatty,) I...

Mending, Merging and Motivating

Channeling Transcript Me: When they dropped the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, of course almost half a million people died in those blasts. One reader wants to know how a soul could possibly survive such an assault when everything around is vaporized. Erik: You’re making it sound like the reader is comparing the soul to...

Erik on Visual Manifestations and Animals

Channeling Transcript Me: Erik, how is it possible for some people to see visions of those who have died? Does that mean the deceased still have a bodily form? Erik: No, they don’t have a bodily form. What good is it going to do if we show up like a ball of light? Nobody’s going...

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.
