Okay, I’m completely flummoxed. I received the following email from a blog member (who shall remain nameless, of course), and I just don’t know what she’s referring to. I’d like to know, because if I’ve done something disrespectful, I need to know so I can change my mindset and behavior. In other words, I’d like to find the lesson in here. I commend her emotional honesty (except for the “I hate you” part) because this is one of the main lessons Erik tries to teach. Be honest, peeps. I don’t break easily. Here it is:

It was very meaningful reading about Eric everyday. I do not know why you are making fun out of Channeling Eric. It helped me a lot. I hate you for what you have done!

I have tons of celebrity interviews that I’ve transcribed but haven’t posted. I’ll make my way through those, but our next interviews will be Farrah Fawcett (requested by the winner of the last contest) and Meher Baba (requested by so many blog member). They get to cut in line.

Here, we have the interview with good ol’ Albert. I love how his adorable personality comes through. Can you imagine being so well-known that people use phrases like, “He’s no Einstein”?

*************************

At first, we tried to get Madeline O’Hare in for the interview, but she adamantly refused. Embarrassed that she might be called on her mistaken belief system? Hm. So, we pick another.

Me: What about Albert Einstein, Erik? Can you get him?

(Pause)

Jamie: Yeah. He’s gone.

Me: Okay. What else does she (meaning O’Hare) have to do over there?

Jamie: I don’t know. Maybe she’s afraid we might misrepresent her, but I don’t think we’d do that.

Me: Of course not. No! Maybe Erik can talk to her, and eventually, we’ll get to her. (Pause) Set her straight.

Jamie giggles.

(Long pause)

Me: Where in the hell is he?

Jamie: Oh, he’s here. He’s talking so Erik wasn’t going to interrupt.

Me: Oh, okay. How sweet. All right. Sorry about that. Hello, Albert Einstein. How are you doing?

Jamie: Ah, he’s real cheerful. He—aw, he’s got a cute accent!

Me: Aw.

Jamie (to Einstein): Hello. (To me) When Erik brought him in, he shouted out, “E equals mc squared in da house!” Like he’s all—Einstein’s very playful!

Me: Yeah, that’s what I understood. So, what’s with the hair, though?

Jamie: What’s with the hair?

Me: Uh huh.

Einstein: It’s very unruly.

Jamie: Oh, I wish I could imitate him!

Einstein: My mother would be very disappointed.

Jamie and I laugh. I like him already.

Jamie: In his hair!

Me: They say you had a lot of trouble in school when you were a kid. Is that true, and if so, why?

Einstein: The schools were very terrible. They didn’t—

(Pause)

Jamie: Oh, (she then utters an unintelligible string of sounds that remind me of Porky Pig.) I’m sorry, but could you talk slower!

We laugh.

Jamie: The accent. I gotta get used to this.

(Pause)

Jamie (to Einstein, giggling): Okay. Thank you.

Einstein: The schools didn’t teach to my strengths. They only had one way of teaching, and this was not good for me. I’m dyslexic.

(Pause)

Jamie: He was talking to me about seeing the letter backwards. He didn’t know that there was no difference until he was much older. He realized he had trouble flipping, but he made compensations.

Einstein: I had to teach myself how to learn, and I feel like through that I discovered the love of learning.

Jamie: And now his finger comes out! He’s pointing at me while he’s talking.

Einstein: It was not just the love of learning, but it was the love of the enjoyment of learning. It’s very exciting.

Jamie: Oh god, I want to imitate him! Where is he from?

Me: I don’t know. I think he’s from Austria or Germany. Something like that. Switzerland?

Einstein: (laughing): You’re all very close. Germany, but I don’t claim—Maybe you don’t want to publish this, but I didn’t claim Germany as my homeland.

Jamie laughs.

Me: Ah oh. Because of Hitler and all that?

Einstein: It didn’t represent what I believed in. I moved.

Me: He moved to the United States, you know, when he was fairly young. When you were fairly young?

Einstein: I moved to different places in Europe, and I went to different schools.

Me: Okay. So there are a lot of people who wonder about the whole theory of relativity, and now we have quantum physics, and it’s challenging some of the stuff that you created.

Einstein: That’s wonderful! That’s exciting.

Me: Yes. No, I’m not trying to hurt your feelings or anything, but –

Einstein: Oh, they’re not hurt!

Me: Okay, but are your theories still valid?

Long pause, then Jamie snickers.

Jamie: He scoots to the end of his chair and leans in, but he doesn’t ever put his elbows on this legs. He just leans in. He has to have his hands to talk.

Jamie and I chuckle.

Jamie (to Einstein): Are you always like this?

Einstein: Only when I’m speaking English.

Einstein lets out a hearty laugh.

Einstein: You must understand that the way that I saw the structures and the definition of the world around me were trapped in that timeframe that I existed in.  Now there are new discoveries, new instruments, new equipment, and these should be used to enhance what has already been believed in. If there is any truth to science, it should be ever-changing to keep up with the discovery of the truths as we stumble upon them.

Me: Well, can quantum physics and your—

Jamie: He’s giggling. Go ahead.

Me (chuckling): –and your notion of physics –

Einstein: You talk about these things as if they’re completely defined, and they’re not!

Me: Well, can they coexist as they are?

Einstein: Absolutely.

Me: Okay, cuz it seems like, from what little I know about this, that one, um—

Einstein: Contradicts the other? Well, we talk about night and we talk about day, but they both coexist.

Me: That’s true! Interesting. Very well put.

Jamie: That was awesome. Okay, go ahead, Sorry.

Me: Now, I don’t know if it’s true, but I’ve heard somewhere that you were trying to, before you died, create some sort of equation to define love—for the energy of love. Is that true or am I just making that up?

Einstein: Eh, it’s blown a bit out of proportion. I was looking at the chemistry of emotions and not specifically love. I believe that love is the base that all emotions are stacked upon or defined from, but I was looking more at the chemical makeup of emotions.

Me: Hm. So, you were a chemist, also? Did you work with chemical equations, too?

(Pause)

Me: Not just mathematical equations?

Einstein (laughing, then leaning back and putting his elbows on the armrests with his fingers together): I don’t know how to define myself.

Jamie giggles.

Me: Okay. Hm. Can one put a mathematical equation to define love? Is love an energy?

Einstein: Yes. I feel that numbers can speak more than what language can.

Jamie: Really?

Me: I can imagine.

Jamie: I have to think about that. I’m not very good with numbers.

Me: Yes, of course linear language is very restrictive. Very handicapping. So, can one define it in mathematical terms?

Einstein: I believe so, yes.

Me: Okay. Let’s talk about your spiritual mission. Obviously you had one. What was it?

Einstein: To be a pain to many.

Jamie and I howl in laughter.

Erik: Why do you think you were a pain in the ass?

Jamie: He did not say “pain in the ass”, but Erik said it.

Me: Yeah, of course.

Einstein laughs.

Einstein: I was there to force people to open up their mind and to redefine what they’ve already defined. I always wondered what is it that once we defined what the table is, we accepted it as truth and never came back to accept it again. It was the table as we define it years ago. Our lives grow, so should our definitions. They should be revisited. That was our mission, and you’re about to ask me if I achieved it, and I would say yes I did, and I enjoyed it, and I continue to push others in the scientific field, in the healing and arts field to redefine what has already been created to help life and to help humanity as it stands now.

Me (laughing): Wow, that’s awesome.

I don’t have anything else to say, so it sounds ridiculous to say something like that to Einstein! ‘Dur, wow. Awesome.” I sound so dumb right now!

Me: Now, were you here to learn anything?

Einstein: Oh, I don’t know.

Jamie: He whispers it like he’s talking to himself. I hear him say, “Oh, I don’t know”, and then he started talking louder, more directly to me.

Einstein: I was there to learn, as more of a life lesson, how to listen, how to be a sponge, how to absorb.

Me: And what about that? Did you accomplish that, too?

Einstein: Sometimes I was too good at it!

Me: How so?

Einstein: Listen too well to others so that I wouldn’t speak up.

Me: But you can listen very well and still speak up.

Einstein: Yes, but sometimes I would forget that part.

Me: Ah! You were so absorbed in what people were saying that you forgot to speak up.

Einstein: Yes.

Jamie giggles.

Me: Other than what you said about our spiritual mission, was there anything else you were here to teach?

Einstein: I fell upon it. I didn’t believe it was in my contract to be this way, but I fell upon it maybe because of my playful personality, but to teach that learning is fun. There’s an element of fun, and if you want to be that explorer, you don’t need a boat; you don’t need a car; you don’t need an airplane. All you need is your brain.

Me: Mm.

Jamie: I want to hug him when this is over!

Me: Aw, you’re so lucky!

Jamie: He’s so neat. He’s animated in his voice. He’s totally dressed in a suit. It’s kind of a dull brown, and it’s not a tie. It’s like a wrap? It’s a cr—cravat—what do you call those things?

Me: Cravat? Is it kind of like a droopy bowtie?

Jamie: Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Like a droopy bowtie, but it’s not a tie where it comes all the way down in front of him. He’s got a little vest on.

Me: Do you have any regrets?

(Pause)

Jamie (laughing): He leans back and swings one hand out like very nonchalantly and says, “Oh yes. I died too young.”

Jamie and I both laugh.

Einstein: Way too young!

Me: You weren’t finished with what you wanted to do!

Einstein: Ah, I was not done. I would gladly come back and do it again! I have not found the right moment. I think we need to finish the redefining of quantum mechanics a little deeper, and then I will come back to help us understand the exploration of the space within the human mind.

Me: What do you mean by that?

Einstein: Ah, we’re so interested in the stars and the “way out there”. Let’s cure disease.

Me: Oh! Well, go back to the space within the human mind. What does that have to do with curing diseases?

(Very long pause)

Jamie (to Einstein): Slow down. Start over.

Giving Einstein commands. Gotta love it.

Einstein: It’s my understanding that all diseases start with the head.

Jamie: He over pronounces the word, “head.”

Einstein: I believe this because this is where the hormones are triggered in the body. This is where emotions come to rest. They rest in the head, so they can be analyzed. They may be created throughout the entire body, but I feel that they come to the head to rest so that the thoughts can define why you feel this way, to absorb the status—

Jamie: I think he’s using a different word here. The status or the structure of the body.

Einstein: And because the emotions come here and the thoughts are generated here and our belief systems lie here and our hormones are directed from here and, because we don’t fully understand how the brain functions, we’re not capable of rewiring it for optimum health.

Me: Are you talking about energetically, also, or are you talking about purely physical?

Einstein: Energetically as well as physically.

Me: Okay. Can you share a life that most influenced your last one?

(Long pause during which Jamie hums impatiently.)

Jamie (to Einstein): No, you have to pick one.

We both laugh hard.

Jamie: He’s telling me he’s had so many great lives, and it’s interesting. It’s like, um, he’s amazingly good at projecting images. Normally when I see them they arrive in my head, but this I can see him, and there’s about four (counting to herself, “One, two, three, four”) five images in front of me besides him that are showing his other lifetimes.

Me: Oh my gosh.

Jamie: And I can clearly see war in one of them. I see guns. It’s really traumatic imagery. Death. But yet the way he perceives it and how he described it before is that he’s had so many great ones. He even considers that death, dying, war thing a great one.

Me: Hm. Jeez. I can’t imagine why. So is he going to charge you admission to those movies?

Jamie: Seriously!

Me: All right, so pick one, Dr. Einstein.

Jamie: That’s what Erik is encouraging him to do.

Einstein: This one.

Jamie: He reaches out and kind of grabs the second one from the left. It has a lot of blue skies and tan images like I’m going over a desert. He’s showing himself as a man, and he’s wrapped. His head is wrapped; his face is wrapped. Only his eyes are showing. He’s all in black. He’s going across Egypt.

(Pause)

Jamie: Oh, so he’s Arabian. He’s riding something

Erik: Are you riding a camel?

Einstein: This is a horse!

Jamie and I giggle.

Einstein: My horse was my favorite person in the whole world. My horse helped me understand that there is a way to communicate with other species. We don’t have to limit ourselves to human-to-human communication. I had a great love and a great respect for my horse. He knew my every move, knew when I was injured, knew how to carry me, knew how to stay with him, knew how to get help. (Laughing) These were the days before the horse whisperer. We look back in history and think people are so dumb, because we don’t have the techniques that we have now, and I’m finding a lot of humor in that kind of thought. There was a soul I could recognize in my horse—

Jamie: What’s that horse with kind of a smushed down nose? It’s not a square nose like a quarter horse.

Me: Is it an Arabian?

Jamie: Is it called an Arabian?

Me: Maybe. I’m just thinking that’s what there are over there.

Jamie: That would make sense, right?

Me: Yeah.

Einstein: When I was in that life, and I would ride on my horse so much, and I wanted to explore more why there can be such clear communication when language wasn’t being used. I wanted to define this in equations. I became interested in the makeup of relationships, especially in terms of love. Love is the greatest teacher of all. This is the great insight that people are looking for throughout all nations and all ages. This life inspired me to merge science and love.

Me: Science and love in what way? Your love for science or your study of love or… I just want to make sure I understand.

(Very long pause)

Jamie: You asked in what way, and he’s showing me that if you unlock your emotions of love, then you unlock your intelligence.

Einstein: The two are closely related, and I wanted to show it and prove it. It’s through joy that you can learn more. Through hatred, you shut down.

Me: Mm. Okay. What do you think about the state of humanity now?

Gulp.

Einstein: Oof. It needs some serious redefining.

He laughs.

Einstein: The state of humanity is being compartmentalized by the governments. It’ll be the greater concepts and the love of entertainment that will bring the world together. That’s when I want to be on Earth again.

Yeah, leave us here to fend for ourselves. Thanks, Albert.

Me: What do you mean by, “The love of entertainment”?

Einstein: People are entertained by new knowledge; people are entertained by discoveries.

Jamie: He’s listing a bunch of stuff, but now it sounds like he’s mumbling.

Me: What’s going to cause that to happen?

Einstein: Wait, my dear.

Me: Wait?

Einstein: Wait.

Jamie: Yeah. He’s not going to tell you.

Me: Okay. Okay. Now do you have any messages or advice for us in the meantime while we’re tapping out foot?

Einstein: If you want to look for something great in life, look into how to fall in love.

Me: Interesting. Now, Erik, what about you? Do you have any questions for Dr. Einstein?

Erik: Not if we’re going to get into the mushy shit.

Me (laughing): I figured. Well, thank you, Dr. Einstein.

Einstein: This has been a wonderful, brief—

(Long pause)

Jamie (to Einstein): A what? We call it an interview.

Einstein: Okay. Interview.

Jamie (giggling): He called it something else, but I have no idea what it was.

Both of us chuckle.

(Pause)

Jamie: Oh, he’s not just thanking you. He’s thanking everybody who’s reading and for keeping him in our thoughts and hearts, and he’s hoping that what he’s done will create a place where others can stand on his shoulders.

Me: And you have.

Einstein: Have a great day, one that’s unimaginable.

Jamie: Unimaginable?

Me: Hm. Okay.

We both giggle.

Me: Thank you. Bye!

Erik: I gotta walk him out.

Me: Okay. Hey, can you go get Bill Hicks when you get back?

(Long pause)

Me (to Jamie): Was that a yes or a no?

Jamie (giggling): I don’t know. He didn’t answer me! Is that like a silent yes?

Me: I guess so!

Jamie: I heard him say, “HOLD ON!”

Me (giggling): Okay!

Next poll, peeps. Please, please do this one, because it’ll help me plan the next book!

Have a wonderful weekend!
