Hey, my babies. I just want you to know that I’m going to take the family camping on Lake Travis near Austin Texas, one last fling before school starts. I will try my hardest to continue checking and responding to comments, posting entries and perusing the forum, but I’m not exactly sure what kind of Internet access there is at the park. But I will return Friday evening, and hope to catch up for any gaps on the weekend. If you don’t see any activity from me for a couple of days, you’ll know why. If you want, you can look over old entries, listen to video tapes with Erik’s voice, practice channeling him, your departed loved ones and your spiritual guides in the meantime. This might also be a good time for you to build relationships with each other on the discussion forums. If there is Internet access, I will post daily entries during those moments when the kids want nothing to do with me! 😉
And now, Maggie takes the stage:
Maggie’s Question
Elisa,
Thank you so much for your fast response. I’m sure you have been getting a ton of requests, and I totally understand if you can’t get to mine for a long time (or ever, for that matter). 🙂
My brother, Tommy, died on August 5th, 2009 in a motorcycle accident. He was 23 years old, and he died in Columbus, OH. I live here with my husband and my stepson, and my sister also lives here with her fiancé. Our parents live in Michigan, where we grew up. I’m 26 now, I was 25 when Tommy died, and my sister is 27, almost 28. Although, if you asked Tommy this stuff, he would never remember. 🙂 He was awful at birthdays or special dates!
Because of the nature of his death, we never saw Tommy after he died. He wasn’t wearing a helmet, and we all decided that it would be best if we didn’t see him after he died so that we wouldn’t remember him like that. However, I’ve had a lot of regrets about that. I want to ask him if he thinks it would be a good idea for me to contact the detective and ask to see the pictures, if that would help me at all. I want to ask him if he was scared, if he knew what was happening. And I really want to know why he had to take his motorcycle instead of his truck, and where he was going? For verification, I would want to know what the last thing he ate was, because there’s debate about that. 🙂 I would love to know who he’s spending time with, and if it really is him in my dreams. I would want to ask him to visit us more and especially our parents. And, I would want him to know that we love him so much, and are still totally devastated by him not being here.
The reason I felt the need to email you is because Erik sounds so much like Tommy. It took my breath away, reading the language that Erik uses (exactly like my brother!) and how comforting it is to know that he’s ok. I guess I’m just hoping that we can get a little reassurance that Tommy is somewhere, he didn’t just disappear, and that he knows we love him. Also, (I know, I just don’t stop!) one of our family friends died about 3 months after Tommy, his name is Brian, and his Mom and my Mom always promise each other that if they talk to a medium they will ask about their boys. So, no pressure!
And, thank you so much for even taking the time to read this email. As I’m sure you know on some level, having a sibling/child/family member pass away is a pretty taboo subject unless you’re the parents. It makes so many people uncomfortable, and I can’t blame them. Before my brother died, I wouldn’t have had the faintest idea what to say to people in my situation. I think for siblings, it’s one of the hardest things, because I grew up with Tommy. He’s been around the majority of my life, and it’s so overlooked. Hopefully, your kids don’t get this, but almost every person who learns of Tommy’s death immediately asks about my parents. And they don’t acknowledge mine, my sister’s, her fiancé’s, and my husband’s pain. Sometimes I just feel like I have to reach out, and just you reading this email is more comfort than I could ask for from you.
So, thank you again, and please please please don’t worry if you don’t have time to ask about Tommy.
Maggie
Channeling Transcript
Me: This next one is from Maggie. She’s 26, living in Columbus, Ohio. She lost her 23 year-old brother, Tommy, in a motorcycle accident in the same city.
Kim: Oh, my!
Me: Yes, and he wasn’t wearing a helmet, either. Now, they never saw Tommy after he died, because at the time, they thought that was best, all things considered. But Maggie wonders if that was a mistake. She has a lot of regrets about not seeing him and wants to know if it would be a good idea to look at the pictures the detectives have.
Erik: God, no! That’s a fucked up idea, Maggie.
Me: It’s not even Tommy in those pictures anyway, I guess.
Erik: Yes, his shell, his physical shell. Good point. Maggie’s just curious. She doesn’t think that someone’s trying to pull a fast one, that really it’s not Tommy. She knows it was him.
Me: Maybe she just wants more closure.
Erik: It’s more to do with curiosity than closure. I would like to see Maggie develop her ability to communicate with Tommy as he is now in spirit, because that’s his true essence. I wanna tell Maggie that she can look at the pictures; they’re available, they’re there. But once she does, she would never be able to get those pictures out of her head, and she would wish that she hadn’t. Then she couldn’t go back and undo it ever. It’s like what you went through with me. I know those images are still a problem for you, and you try to shake them out of your mind.
Me: Yeah, that’s one of the hardest things for me right now, remembering how you looked when I found you. It was awful, even for me, a doctor who’s seen a lot of trauma.
Erik: I’m sorry Mom. I’m so sorry. And I’m begging, I’m begging with Maggie not to do it. It’s not worth satisfying a curiosity. If it did have to do with closure, that might be different.
Me: Was he scared. Erik? Did Tommy know what was happening?
Erik: No. No, he knew nothing.
Me: Why did he take his motorcycle instead of his truck? Where was he going?
Erik: Let me ask him.
(pause)
Erik: He’s telling me that driving the truck was completely different from driving the bike, and he was in a hurry, so without thinking, he just jumped on the bike. He thought that he could maneuver faster on the bike. It was a deliberate choice that he made, to take the bike. Well obviously, because he ended up taking the bike, but it wasn’t like, “Well I don’t know, I don’t know what made me take the bike.” He thought he could maneuver faster on it, wanted to feel the wind in his hair. You know, he says it was a funny thing. He says, “You know what I remember?” This is really interesting, Mom. He says, “When I got on the bike, and I was in a big hurry, it popped in my mind, ‘Wow, this would be a great last ride!’” At the time, he didn’t pay any attention to that thought.
(pause)
Erik: He’s saying, “Wow, I’m just thinking about that right now! I heard that inside my head!” But he didn’t pay any attention to it at the time. Not only was he in a hurry, he was set on accomplishing something in a very short period of time. So he took off like a bat out of Hell. Oh, and he says whenever he got on the bike–he was always more careful in the truck–whenever he got on the bike, he’d do things that he’s NEVER do in the truck.
Me: That’s counter-intuitive.
Erik: And so he had no idea this was going to happen on a conscious level, and he had no time to react. He had no time to even think about what was happening. He didn’t feel any pain at all. Nothing.
Me: Was this his destiny, Erik?
Erik: Yes.
Kim: Can I ask a question, Elisa?
Me: Of course!
Kim: Tommy, and he’s smiling like he already knows the answer, well, whenever we’re…wow, oh, okay. Here, I already got the information.
Me: Before even asking the question!
Kim: Whenever we are meant to go through something like this as a necessary learning experience so we can evolve and mature from it, our guardian angels often won’t say anything about it, because then we would try to avoid it, of course. So I was just asking Tommy, “Why would your angels have said, “Hey, this is going to be a good last ride?” He says, “They didn’t. That came from my soul” Wow, so that wasn’t from your angels. He says, “They said nothing. It was my soul, not my angels.”
Me: Wow!
Kim: And he says he thought, “Well, that’s weird,” but he was in such a hurry to get where he was going, that he just didn’t even think about it. He says when he was here on the earthly plane, a whole lot of things…
Erik: What he’s trying to say is that his head was up his ass.
Me: Okay! Thanks for the clarification, Erik!
Erik: There were a lot of things that Tommy didn’t pay any attention to that he could have and should have, but this was his destiny, yes.
Me: She also wants to know what the last thing he ate was.
Erik: He’s laughing really hard, Mom, and he says, “You DON’T want to know!”
Kim and I laugh.
Kim: In my experience, Elisa, maybe we don’t want to go there. And he’s not saying that to avoid the question. That is his answer.
Me: I’ve ridden plenty of motorcycles myself. Maybe he swallowed a big fat June bug! Okay, the next person—oh wait, that’s right, she has one more question. I almost forgot! Another person died three months after Tommy: Brian, age 22. Died in Lansing, Michigan. His mom just wants to say hi and see how he’s doing.
Kim: Do we know the name of Brian’s mother?
Me: Oh, dang! No I didn’t get that!
Kim: It’s okay. Let’s see here. And it’s Maggie asking this question?
Me: Yeah, Maggie.
Erik: Brian is still in Heaven. He’s not been reborn yet. He spends time around his mom. He also spends a lot of time around his dad. Brian still has a bunch of open issues with his father, his biological father. So he spends a lot of time around him to get those worked through. That’s what he’s up to. His mom will understand that he has issues with his father, and that’s why he spends time around him. But yeah, he’s doing really good.
Maggie’s Response
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this.
