I found this part of the session to be very interesting on many levels. For one, Erik provided information before I could even ask any questions!

Zelda’s Question

I’d be SO incredibly appreciative (i.e., it would blow my mind) if you would pass this on. My friend was a beautiful guy with a razor-sharp mind and sense of humour to match. I knew him for 20 years! His sudden and shocking suicide — after a highly traumatic first-ever breakdown in midlife (rare!) — blew his partner and friends out of the water. I’m not alone in saying I miss his wit and intelligence and warmth every day and thinking that he’s gone brings tears in a moment. Enough eulogies…

For your coordinates: My friend’s name was Gordon. He had just turned 49 and committed suicide maybe March 13, 2010. He lived and died in Montreal, Quebec (Canada). I’m 48 and I live on the west coast, in Vancouver, BC (Canada).

Re a question: Listen, I’d be shocked to hear anything from him. And he was a laser-bright guy; I don’t think he’d let me tell him what to say, even in death. (Come to think of it, I believe that shortly after his death his partner was in fact approached by a woman who said she’d been contacted by him, but I don’t think his partner believed a word of it.)

In life Gordon wouldn’t have trucked in this sort of stuff and likely would have made a clever and hilarious joke about it. But I’ve believed in reincarnation and such since I was five or six so it all came naturally to me, though nobody — not even my mom, who died when I was 10 — has ever “communicated” with me. Elisa, it’s ironic to say you’re ‘fortunate’ in that you were visited so soon by your son. It goes without saying that you would preferred to have had him in flesh and blood and life (I’m a mother, too).

Thanks again, take care, and though I’m a standoffish and private person, I have to send love,

Zelda

Channeling Transcript

Me: Now, next one comes from Zelda. She’s 48 and lives on the west coast of Canada.

Kim: Oh! Pretty area!

Me: I know! Uh, let’s see. She had a friend, Gordon, who just turned 49 and committed suicide this past March. He died in Montreal. Anyway, uh—

Kim: I’m already getting information from Erik, Elisa.

Me: Oh, okay! Fire away then!

Erik: Nobody really knew Gordon. They thought they did, but they didn’t. He was suicidal from the time he was a teenager. He was battling depression, but it was something he was able to hide really, really well. I know Zelda probably thinks this was some midlife crisis, but it really wasn’t that at all.

Me: Yeah, I think that’s what she said everyone thought.

Erik: Dude’s got a funny sense of humor, smart, charming–funny ass guy–sensitive, real enlightened. But holy crap was he ever private! Secretive guy to the point that even the people who thought they knew him inside and out really did not. So this was such a shock to everyone.

Me: Exactly! That’s what Zelda said!

Erik (in mock exasperation): Mommmmmm, I know!

Me: Well, ‘scuse me!

Erik: He didn’t share this with anyone, because he was a private person. Also, he didn’t share it cuz he knew they’d try to talk him out of it. There were times when he was planning a suicide, and he decided not to do it. Um, like a phone call would come in or somebody would pop in his mind or doorbell would ring, something would happen that took his attention away and the moment would pass.

Me: Okay.

Erik: So, it was bound to happen. And anyone who—uh—he didn’t share himself with anyone.

Me: Is he doing okay?

Erik: Hell, yeah. Couldn’t be happier. He’s very fulfilled and has a whole bunch of friends. It’s really weird, cuz when Gordon is here in Heaven, he’s very open and secure; he connects with others. When he goes to the earthly plane, he gets very blocked, very frightened, very restrained, emotionally, spiritually, very self-protective, suspicious of others, and it makes him very secretive. But to know him on the earthly plane, you wouldn’t have thought that about him.

Kim: Elisa, I’ve channeling for 23 years. Gordon is one of the most secretive people I’ve looked into, and I’ve channeled for C.I.A. operatives, so…

Me: Oh, my gosh!

Kim: And K.G.B. people, literally. And he is one of the most, if not THE most secretive person I’ve ever looked into.

Me: Wow! Interesting.

Kim: And he was able to put forth a completely different—wasn’t play acting or anything like that or trying to fool people—

Me: There were just two sides to the man.

Kim: Precisely.

Erik: That takes a shitload of energy. Damn.

Me: I can imagine.
