After completing the interview with Mother Teresa, I was left feeling very conflicted about her. My conclusion was that here is a woman who everyone idolized to sacrosanct levels, yet she was very much human. What surprised me is that she seemed interject her ego, at times.
I know we’ve already done many of these interviews over the last year or so, but I’d like to stop and thank Erik for bringing them in. I don’t know if all of you realize this, but very few mediums are able to channel celebrities. They just can’t pull them in, for some reason. Even Jamie was never able to call one in until she met Erik and asked his assistance. I find that interesting and thought I’d the fact that these interviews wouldn’t happen without him.
Me: Do we have Mother Teresa here yet?
Jamie: No, he hasn’t brought her in yet.
Me: Hi, Erik.
Erik: Hi, Mom.
Me: Erik, can you please bring Mother Teresa in for us?
Erik: Yeah. Yeah I can do that, but I wanted to say hi first.
Me: I love you.
Erik: I love you, too. Mother Teresa is a little fireball.
Me: I bet so. To have accomplished all she did, I’m sure she is a little spitfire.
Jamie: Okay. He’s going to go get her. He paused. I told him to go get her before the call.
Me: Maybe she’s a little shy, but somehow I doubt that.
Jamie (chuckling): I doubt that, too.
Me: Maybe she’s just really busy ministering to the sick, orphaned and dying!
Jamie: We need to have that call waiting music while we’re waiting for them to come in.
Me: That’s right. Or cricket sounds.
Jamie (giggling): Oh, she’s so much shorter than I thought!
Me: Oh, really? Shorter than you, Jamie?
Jamie: Yeah! I’m 5’41/2”. She’s probably around the five-foot mark.
Me: Oh my goodness! Hello, Mother Teresa!
Mother Teresa: Thank you for having me. This is very interesting. I didn’t know if I was going to have the time to join you today.
Me: Well, thank you for carving out that time. I really appreciate it, and I think it’ll do a lot of good for a lot of people.
Jamie: Erik is hounding her about the time thing. He goes, “You know that’s not true! You could have shown up wherever you want. What was your hesitation?”
Jamie covers her mouth in shock.
Me: Ah oh! Beating of Mother Teresa! Naughty Erik!
Mother Teresa: I believe in a lot of spirit communication, because this is how I communicated with Jesus when I was alive. Though I appreciate the work that you do, I feel lit should have more direction, religiously.
Me: Are you talking about from a Christian standpoint?
Mother Teresa: Yes. I’m not judging your work, because each man and woman will do as they see fit, but if it were up to my design, it would be structured under that belief system.
Me: But then what would Moses and Allah and the other religious, uh, those who follow other religious faiths, what would they think?
(Pause)
Me: I mean, who would they follow?
Mother Teresa: They would think whatever they want. We’re not here to change that, are we?
Me: Well, what would Jesus think? (chuckling) What would Jesus do?
Jamie (laughing): What would Jesus do!
Jamie (shifting into an Indian style position): I’m just going to get comfortable, because you know this is going to be a long one!
Me: I know!
Jamie (whispering): What would Jesus do?
Mother Teresa: Jesus would embrace anyone who came to him.
Me: Including non-Christians.
Mother Teresa: Yes.
Me: So, if we narrowed it down to one faith—
Mother Teresa: Yes, I didn’t call on Jesus’s protection when I opened this kind of communication.
Jamie: I don’t use Jesus, personally, Jamie, as part of my intent or prayer before I do sessions. I use the term, “Father, Mother, God” so it’s a bit broader, but…
Erik: What is your faith based in?
Mother Teresa (to Erik): My heart belongs to Jesus.
Me: That was one of my questions, actually. When you crossed over, what sort of conversations or thoughts did you have when you first met Jesus?
Mother Teresa: I was accepted.
Jamie: She has an older woman’s voice, but there’s also an accent to it. She talks in shorter sentences. She’s not very elaborate, and she doesn’t add a lot of extra words in. It’s just very simple and direct.
Mother Teresa: What I wanted throughout my life was to be in his presence and accepted by him. Though I knew this in my heart when I was living, it is always a different feeling when you can look into the eyes of the one you believe in.
Me: Okay. Now, what influenced you to begin ministering to the poor, the sick, the orphaned and the dying, and what made you join a convent?
Mother Teresa: I knew from day one that I belonged in service to other people. My father passed away young. I was little. It brought up many questions to me about death. For me, it showed me that life was much shorter than what I dreamed of when I was a child.
Jamie: So, she says this happened as a little girl. She’s showing me like 8, 9, 10 kind of a thing.
Mother Teresa: I knew I was to go into the service after that.
Jamie: Makes it sound like the military, but she means The Church.
Mother Teresa: I couldn’t do that until I was old enough. My mother would not let me leave, live at the church, but I made many pilgrimages to worship and to seek solitude at the church. Through those experiences, I knew that was where I wanted to stay. I no longer felt I needed to stay attached or defined by my family. I wanted to be attached to Jesus and defined by the spiritual family.
I’m wondering why she couldn’t have done both.
Me: On September the 6th, 1946, you were traveling on a train from Darjeeling to Calcutta for some annual retreat, and you experienced what was later called, “The call within the call.” What happened, if anything?
Jamie: You made her smile when you talked about his.
Me: Oh, okay. I aim to please.
Jamie: It just makes you realize that through all of this that she’s, you know, not a really smiley, bubbly person. She’s very calm and simple. So, when you mentioned this whatever it was, she smiled broadly.
(Pause)
Jamie: Erik is repeating the question to her. I just wanted you to know why there’s silence.
Erik: Describe it in a way we could maybe understand it or compare it to an experience.
Jamie: She’s explaining it to Erik, not to me that it was as if it was an out of body experience where she was able to communicate directly to God and to Jesus.
Mother Teresa to Erik): It was clear to me the path that my life would take. From that moment on, I had no more doubt, no more question of what my life would be like. And the types of—
Jamie (to Erik): Attacks? Is that what she’s saying?
Mother Teresa: The types of attacks that would be pushed on the work I was meant to do on Earth.
Jamie: She’s telling Erik—I think she’s much more comfortable talking to Erik than with me!
Me (chuckling): Oh no!
Mother Teresa (to Erik): I was not an angel. I did not come to Earth as a holy being, as an angel. I came to Earth as a little girl, as one who wanted to experience life, and it was in my younger years that I was able to clearly see, without filters, my own personal desires. There were many moments between ages 8 and 18 that influenced me to follow that unfiltered dream when I was young. Everything I did in this life was driven by me and my belief. I had a mission.
Erik (laughing): Literally, you had a mission!
Mother Teresa: Yes.
Final reminder:
Don’t forget tomorrow’s radio show where Erik and Jamie will be the guests on The Sean and Jen Show at 4 PM MST/5 PM CST.
