The trance channeling event that got messed up due to problems with the virtual classroom has been rescheduled to 4/2/14 at 7:00 PM EDT. They’ve increased the time from one hour to 75 minutes, so that’s even better! More time for questions! If you’ve already paid, you don’t have to do a thing. If you haven’t signed up, please do. It’s a truly amazing event! Here’s the LINK.
Many of you have asked about the alien interview, and I promise it’s coming. I finished transcribing the first part of four yesterday, and I’ll try to finish the rest by the end of next week. I don’t transcribe on the weekends, because that’s my main family time (plus the time for boring errands.)
Okay, before we go on to today’s celebrity post, let’s have another contest! Here it is: Was Erik’s first girlfriend Caucasian, Hispanic, Asian or African American? The one who wins gets one of the books Amy Coffelt so generously purchased. I’m only taking answers until 9:00 PM CDT today so please, please, please don’t email me answers after that. It’s so time-consuming for me to answer them all. Thanks!
Take it away, Anna Nicole!
Me: I’ll let you pick today, Erik. Let’s see. Either Madeline McCann, Bradley Nowell or Anna Nicole Smith.
Erik: Be right back!
(Poof! He disappears.)
While we wait for Erik to return, Jamie and I discuss the fact that I have over 300 famous and infamous deceased to interview in five different categories. Since this interview, that number has risen to over 450!
Jamie: Oh, hi!
Me: Oh, he’s back! Who do you have there, Erik?
Jamie: Nicole Smith, he says. She sure is bubbly!
Me: How are you, Anna?
Jamie: She’s doing great. That’s not necessarily the way she puts it, but she’s waving and smiling, and, well, she doing wonderfully.
Me: Sound like she is! How wonderful. So Ms. Smith, I’m so glad you agreed to come for this interview. I suppose Erik filled you in, and you know the drill.
Anna: Yes. This is the dead interviewing the dead for the living.
Jamie bursts out laughing.
Me: Oh my gosh! I never thought of it that way! Alright, can we start with the questions, then?
Anna: Yeah, sure.
Me: Could you begin by sharing what your beliefs were about life, death and the afterlife before you crossed over?
Anna (chuckling): Oh, I had one?
Jamie: By the way, she’s giving a shout out to Texas for you.
Me: Oh, okay. Good. So you were from Texas?
Anna: Yes, Ma’am. Yes I am!
Me: Oh I didn’t know that! Awesome.
Anna: Yeah, Houston.
Jamie: I wanted to say “House-ton” because that’s how I saw it in my head.
Me: So, does that mean you were Baptist?
Anna: You know, I don’t think my parents raised me anything.
Me: Okay. So your parents didn’t influence you in that regard. Did you think about whether there was something else after death?
Anna: Yes, but I never really had the structure in my life to let me look in that direction. Religion never seemed real, because it never really affected my family.
Me: What was your transition like for you, then?
Anna: Oh, my savior!
Me: Really?
Anna: My life at that time was like living underwater. I couldn’t breathe. I had never been so depressed in my life!
Me: Oh, I’m so sorry.
Anna: And so big.
Jamie: She says with her weight. She got big.
(Long pause)
Jamie: It’s funny. You know how people, uh, it looks like they’re fixing their lipstick?
Me: Yes.
Jamie: Um, oh, you gotta slow down!
Erik laughs hysterically.
Erik: I understand her just fine!
Jamie: Well, Erik, of course you do!
I laugh.
Anna: When I was growing up, it was a basic Catholic belief, but there was no ritual, nothing set in stone. I didn’t follow any structure, and so my life was crazy from a young age. I moved away from my parents; I moved in with other family members, like an aunt. I struggled that way with authority, so for me, the focus was more on the human aspect of authority rather than the spiritual aspect of authority.
Me: Oh, okay. I see.
Anna: And it didn’t, uh, I had my first son at a really young age. You know, a lot of it was a blessing to kind of save me, but it still didn’t deter me from doing what I did. With my daughter’s birth, that’s when I really saw the beauty in life. I don’t know why the heart does what it does, but I lied about the father of the child thinking I was doing right by her and by myself.
Me: Oh.
Anna: But the weight of that secret was terrible. I couldn’t live, function, and it was only through her that I could understand why people had faith in Jesus Christ. I would say some of the words, and I would pray, but it was always on my own terms. It was never part of some external dogma.
Me: Okay.
Anna: And when I overdosed and got away from my life and my body, I thought maybe this is what God had intended for me—to save me from myself.
Me: Mm.
Anna: I was the one who did it. I take full responsibility for it. It’s not that I was looking to overdose. It’s just that I was looking to remedy what I was feeling.
Me: I see. So, it wasn’t an intentional suicide.
Anna: No! And leave my daughter? That was the only reason I wanted to stay for.
Me: Of course! Oh my goodness. As a mother, I understand that all too well.
Jamie: Oh, that’s right, because her son died.
Me: Yeah, is your son there with you?
Anna: Yes.
Jamie (laughing): She waves an arm real big to her son and says really loudly, “Come here!”
Me: That’s right. You’re son died before you did.
Jamie: That’s what she’s saying, yes.
Me: Aww. So it must have been nice for you to be greeted by your boy. How comforting. Can you describe what thought you had and what surroundings you saw right after you died?
Anna: I saw immediate lights, and it was bright like the lights on the cameras, but it didn’t hurt to look into it. I didn’t have to squint. And I wanted nothing more than to look at it more, to go into it. And then I began to see—
(Pause)
Jamie (touched): Aww, Dan. Daniel? Was that your son’s name?
Me: I think that’s right!
Anna: Yes, I saw him, and at that time, that was the only person that mattered to me in spirit.
Me: Is that when you first realized that you had passed on—when you saw him?
Anna: Yes. What a hard a hard realization to know that you had to let go of one child to get to the other.
Me: (solemnly): Oh, my goodness. Well, that’s only temporary, you know. So, do you think that death and the timing of it was your destiny?
Anna: Yes.
Me: Okay, and why was that, other than to release you from your life.
Jamie (choking up): Oh, she’s tearing up. Oof.
(Pause)
Jamie: Erik’s being so sweet. He’s consoling her.
Me: Aww, that’s my boy!
Jamie: He’s like touching her shoulder and telling her to breathe.
(I thought that was an odd thing to ask a dead person to do, but what do I know?
Anna: It was the love for my daughter that helped me leave. I know that if I stayed in her life, that my choices and my actions would have taken away from what her life could have been. Me leaving her—
Jamie: Aww, she’s so choked up! It’s making me get all choked up.
Anna: Me leaving her saved her, and in that process, the truth came out—the true birth father, and he has done nothing but dedicate his whole life to her.
Me: How sweet.
Anna: And it turned out, in a way, how it needed to be. That is why I know I had to leave. I would not have gotten better.
Me: Okay. Can you describe your afterlife and what you do there?
Anna: I stare at my daughter.
Jamie giggles.
Me: Aw, I bet. So, you’re really around her a lot.
Anna: Yes. Every now and then I check on—
Jamie: That’s right! Oh my gosh, cuz she was a Playgirl.
Me: I think so, yeah.
Anna: Every now and then I check on my friends in the Playboy Mansion.
Me: Like Hugh Hefner?
Anna: Yes.
Me: Okay, that’s good! And what about that elderly husband you had? I know he’s passed on, of course. Do you have any connection to him in the afterlife?
Anna: I do. He was the nicest man to me ever! I feel terrible that I could only see him on the outside, and I couldn’t see him on the inside.
Me: Well, you probably see him for who and what he is now, right?
Anna: Yes.
Jamie: She kind of shakes her upper body, like “sexy,” and she’s telling Erik and me that he is one good-looking dude now.
Me: All right, good! So, are you two together?
Jamie: Oh my god, I just asked that, too, and she said yes!
Me: Oh, how wonderful. Maybe you two had some sort of spiritual contract together.
Anna: Absolutely. I can understand it now, but there is no way in hell that I would have put that together, then.
Me: Of course not. And what was that contract all about? What was the purpose of your marriage to him?
Anna: To save me.
Me: Aww, so sweet.
Anna: I think I would have gone long before.
Me: And then you wouldn’t have that beautiful daughter!
Anna: That’s true.
Me: Maybe everything you’ve done is for the purpose of bringing her into the world and then step back so she can thrive because she’s meant to do great things.
Anna: She will. You watch.
Me: What insights did you gain now that you have this different perspective as a discarnate soul? Of course you already mentioned how you see your husband for who he is inside, and you understand why you had to leave when you did, but is there anything else?
Anna: Well, my biggest lesson was about my daughter.
Me: Yeah.
Anna: The rest of it just seems like pennies.
Me: And you were here to learn what, specifically?
Anna says something to Jamie.
Jamie (to Anna): On life, yeah.
Anna: How to truly sacrifice yourself for the care and love of another person.
Me: Well, you did! You learned that lesson, didn’t you?
Anna: That was finally the last and only thing I did!
Jamie laughs.
Me: Aw, that’s awesome. Were you here to teach anything?
Anna (laughing): If there was, I don’t think it was to be a positive role model.
Me: Do you have any regrets?
Anna: I do.
(Awkward pause)
Me: Of course you don’t have to share them if it makes you too uncomfortable, but if you think it would help others, then I encourage you to share.
Anna: My biggest regret is, I knew what my internal dialogue was. I had a voice of reasoning. Everyone wanted to see me as that dumb blond bombshell, but I did have a voice of reason, and my biggest regret is that I actively chose not to listen to it.
Me: Oh!
Anna: I don’t know if that was to punish my parents for letting me go. I don’t know if it was to punish God or myself, but I did. I ignored that inner voice, and I was totally aware of what I was doing.
Me: Do you want to share a past life that most influenced this last one?
Anna: Oh, this is fun!
Jami laughs.
Me: I know! It is fun!
(I can’t believe I’m actually entertaining Anna Nicole Smith!)
Jamie: Every now and then when she talks, she sounds like a little excited girl. (in a high pitched voice) “This is so fun!”
Me: Maybe I ought to sell tickets over there!
Jamie (giggling): Seriously!
Anna: It would have to be a life where I was a sailor.
Me: Oh, okay.
Anna: A man. Um, Dutch. I had blond hair, blue eyes. I moved to Spain and was stationed there for my country. I worked on the boats in the port. I was always in costume, and I looked great. Woman just idolized me for my blue eyes and blond hair, because it wasn’t that common there. I kind of did the same thing—married the “right” person, stayed loose, had “fun”—
Jamie giggles.
Anna: –and I fell into the water one night, drunk and drowned.
Jamie: Oh my god!
Me: Oh! Well, that was it. You died a happy camper.
Anna: Totally happy, and I think I use that as an example, because I wanted that again, but as a female and with more control.
Me: Oh, yeah!
Anna: I just got lost.
Me: Well, we all get lost from time to time, but there are still lessons to be embraced when we’re off-course.
Jamie: Oh my god, she keeps saying she loves the physical body, being human—loves having that human body and just feeling great, touching the body. She’s a really sensual being!
Me: Very tactile, yeah.
Jamie: She craved the human form. She absolutely wanted more of it. So, she really lined herself up well, then.
Me: Yeah, she sure did! So, Anna, what was your proudest accomplishment while you were alive?
Anna: I’d have to say being idolized for my physique and sexuality.
Me: And when you crossed over, did your sense of accomplishment—
Jamie (giggling): She loves it still.
Me: Okay, but now that you don’t have that human body, what is your proudest accomplishment as you look back on your life?
(Long pause)
Me: Your daughter maybe?
Jamie: Surprisingly, no! She’s still making it to be, um, like being the next Marilyn Monroe.
Me: Okay then. What messages do you have for humanity? Is there anything else you’d like to share with the world?
(Long pause as Jamie listens to Anna)
Jamie (giggling): She kind of straightens herself up like she’s about to say something important!
Me: Aww. She probably is!
Jamie: Sorry, but that was just really cute. Erik’s laughing.
Jamie (whispering to Erik): I know you’re laughing.
Anna (with a great deal of pomp and circumstance): I would like to tell the people of the world—
Jamie let’s out a short laugh.
Anna: —to listen to their inner voice and confide in those they love. In return, they will become your anchor and your guide. You can’t do it alone.
Me: Anna, I’m very impressed. So many will learn from those words of wisdom. Erik, go ahead and ask her a question, Baby.
(Long pause punctuated by giggles from Jamie)
Erik (chuckling): Mom, I don’t know if you’ll be proud.
Me: Oh, I don’t care! C’mon!
Erik: I wanted to know if her breasts were real!
Me (laughing): I was figuring it’d be something along those lines!
Erik: And what size they were.
Me: Well, she might not want to answer that!
Anna: They are real, and I handle them just fine with both of my hands. They are real, and they’re double D’s.
Me: Wow! How about that! Happy, Erik?
Erik (grinning like a Cheshire Cat): Yes, I am!
Me: I bet you are. Well, thank you so much, Anna. This has been so much fun.
Anna (giggling): Thanks!
Me: Erik’s gonna have a hard time leaving you, I’m sure, but…
Anna: Goodbye! I had a great time.
Jamie: She’s leaving. Her son was off in the background. She walked away with him.
Me: Okay.
Jamie (giggling): You know, Erik, I can’t believe you had the balls to ask her that!
Me: Well, you know she wanted someone to ask that!
Jamie: Oh, that’s true. Maybe that was flattering for her.
Erik: See! I wasn’t that far off base! I was just feeding into her needs.
