Here’s what my idea is: First publish Channeling Erik Volume One which will introduce Erik and the journey of the Channeling Erik Family over the two years, including some of his pranks and visits. This will be Part One of Volume One. Part Two will include all of his information about death, the afterlife, the nature of time and reality, what it’s like to be a discarnate spirit, other spiritual beings–basically everything on his side of the veil.
Volume Two will be published later and will include everything related to the human experience: Why do we choose it? How can we not only survive it, but use it to our best potential to grow and thrive spiritually.
Now, the celebrity books won’t be divided into separate categories. I’m thinking of taking several figures from each list and mixing them tup. There are so many that they will probably be contained in 4 or 5 books.
All the books will be published as paperback and in all electronic formats.
I’m also going to make you guys a CE app you can download free from iTunes. If you have any special things you want it to do, let me know.
Oh, and Michael Mahoney turned me on to a great site: www.spiritualnetworks.com. It’s the spiritual version of Facebook. Everyone join and friend me! Thanks, Mike!
Now, here’s the first interview with an infamous character, Jack the Ripper!
Me: Let’s interview a bad guy first, Erik! Can you get a bad dude?
Erik: Really, Mom? It’s the Holidays!
Me: Okay, fine! Well, what about one of the nicer bad dudes? Jack the Ripper, Bonnie and Clyde, Vlad the Impaler—I know you don’t like him very much—Jesse James, Lee Harvey Oswald.
Erik: Jack the Ripper.
Me: Okay, Jack the Ripper. Let’s go! Scary! Wait, is that safe for you, Jamie? Is that okay? Tell Erik to get somebody that’s safe for you—we won’t ever get an evil entity that’s not safe for you to bring in.
Jamie: Oh, I don’t know; he’s not here right now.
Me: Oh. Well, we’ll see. You can shoo him away if it gets–
Jamie: Erik’s really smart. I don’t think he would ever bring anyone dangerous into this space.
Me: Okay, good!
(While waiting for Erik to return, I complement her hair.)
Jamie: Uh, he’s here. Is that—
(Long pause as Jamie looks at Jack the Ripper.)
Me: Does he look creepy?
Jamie (giggling): The way that I see it, it’s, um, I’m assuming it’s a man, except I can’t really see details. But it looks like, um, you know, like a bat. You know how a bat kind of wraps its wings.
Me: Ooo.
Jamie: A wrap like a cape.
Me: Oh, is it around his head, too? Can you see that?
Jamie: You don’t see the arms; you don’t really see the legs. It just looks like a black cocoon.
Me: Oh, wow! Interesting.
Jamie: There’s a square shape on the head, so I’m assuming that’s a hat.
Me: Okay.
Jamie: All black tones.
Me: Oh, I guess so! Hello, Mister, um, Ripper?
Jamie and I laugh hard.
Me: Do I call you Mr. Ripper or Jack?
Jack the Ripper: John, please.
Me: John? What’s your last name? Or do you even remember?
Jamie listens for a while.
Jamie: He’s saying something like Higgleman, Heigelman.
Me: Okay. Okay, well, my first question, sir, is why did you commit the atrocities that you did? Was it some sort of spiritual mission or contract, or were you just lost?
Jamie: Uh, now he’s standing right up next to my table. He’s got his fingertips dug onto the table top, you know, how you rest your fingers?
Me: Uh huh.
Jamie: Like you would play piano. And he leans in from the waist, not from like the hip down. Straight posture. He just kind of leans in.
(Pause)
Jamie (giggling): He’s not a very tall man! I think that’s interesting, because you make them larger than life.
Me: Yes.
Erik (to Jamie): It’s okay; it’s okay.
Me: You look nervous, Jamie.
Jamie: Well it’s just—he’s got a really deep voice; there’s noting really joyful in his tone.
Jack the Ripper. My Dear, it wasn’t about spirituality; it was about science.
Me: Oh, really? Tell me more!
Jamie: He’s explaining to me that he was a doctor; he was a physician, a surgeon.
Jack the Ripper: I didn’t have the opportunity to keep the bodies and examine them the way I wanted to, because it was–
Jamie (to Jack the Ripper): Uh, can you tell me again?
Jack the Ripper: –deemed immoral or, uh—
Me: Yeah, health code violation, maybe?
Jamie: That makes him laugh!
Me: Oh, good!
Jamie: He’s saying there really wasn’t any health code, but it was the way the body would have to be delivered to the family, that if it was mutilated, he would be fined or forced to stop working.
Jack the Ripper: The way that I wanted to examine the bodies was seen as mutilation by other people. For me, it was in the interest of science.
Me: Okay.
Erik: What were you searching for?
Me: Good one, Erik!
Jack the Ripper: The soul, the mechanism from which the body works.
Me (with a gasp): Whoa!
Jack the Ripper: It was unknown—
(Pause)
Jamie (clearly exasperated, to Jack the Ripper): C-can you say that in simpler terms instead of scientific terms?
John the Ripper: It was unknown from whence the electrical signals in the body were triggered and where they came from so that the body could sustain life.
From whence? I had to laugh.
Here’s the YouTube of that channeling session for those of you who have never seen how Jamie works. As you can see, she’s the real deal, and you can see why Erik has a bit of a crush on her.
