Couple of things: I’m so excited to see everyone in Austin this weekend. During that time, Kent and Cindy are my guest bloggers, so you’ll get a lot of Erik information from Kent’s channeling session with him.

Another thing: My father is ill, so please send your prayers and healing energy. Fortunately, my sister, Laura, and her husband, Jim, are going to hold down the fort until I get back.

Now Erik takes the stage:

Five minutes before the session:

Erik (to Jamie): You know, my mom is going to call right on time, so why don’t you get ready.

Jamie: Well, I have to use the bathroom.

Erik You better pee quick, because she’s gonna call right on time.

Jamie: Well, tell her to call like thirty seconds later.

Erik: That’s not going to happen.

Jamie: Okay, fine!

I call exactly on time as predicted and Jamie recounts the story and adds:

Jamie: Right as I came out of the bathroom, the phone rings. I sigh and pick up the phone and he’s laughing and laughing at me.

Me: Oh, poor Jamie. Must be hard to have a client with OCD!

Jamie laughs.

Jamie: He’s been SO sweet. Even during the interview with Sheila Gale, Erik was really kind; he didn’t tease me. He hasn’t teased me today either!

Me: Oh, good! Erik!

Jamie: No pranks.

Erik: I’m trying to get mature. You know, I’ve just given in an accepted the fact that Jamie might just end up being my voice even though it’s girlie.

Me: Aw!

Erik: You know, I’m always trying to give you these big fat hugs; you really need ‘em.

Me: Yes, I do!

Erik: I wish sometimes.

Jamie (laughing): He tries to stand in your way when you are pacing. You tend to walk to think. It’s in the house. It looks like it’s around an island in the kitchen or around a couch to an island—something of that nature.

Here’s a picture of the kitchen island:

Erik: I try to get in your way. I want to slow you down. I just wanna sit on you and make you stop. So much is happening with the family and with life and career. It’s just amazing that—how do you do it? How do you have the mind space to be so—

Me: I don’t know! I guess I use my thoughts as a distraction for now. I’ve been trying to slow down lately, so maybe that’s you helping me, Erik. By the way, what is the difference between a light being and a spirit. Carl Sagan said he was a light being, but I don’t really know what that is!

Jamie: He’s sitting on the back of my couch again. He has Chux on today. I can see shoes today. Chux!

Me: Chux? What’s that?

Jamie: The black and white shoes. I call them Chux.

Erik: I call ‘em All Stars.

Me: Oh, yeah! Converse. Like high tops?

Erik: No, they’re low tops.

Jamie: That’s weird, because I don’t usually see feet, but his feet or on the couch so for some reason I saw shoes today!

We all laugh.

Erik: They’re two ways you can look at your question, Mom. A light being can actually be a spirit and a soul. A spirit is a soul without a body; a soul is spirit inside of a body. So, a light worker can be a living person or a dead person.

Me: Oh, so a light being is the same as a light worker?

Erik: Yes.
