Ugh, I’m bummed today. We tried so hard to get onto Coast to Coast but failed. I don’t understand why because this is right up George Noory’s alley. It would have helped the blog and book so, so much. I think the problem was they had another doctor on the show talking about remotely similar things and he did poorly. They’ve been burned. Oh well. If you guys have any other suggestions, I’m open, but for now, enjoy what Erik says about GMO foods. This is so timely given all the news about this controversial issue. (We start out with another subject. Consider it a short but fun treat.)
Me: Here’s another one from a reader: “If we put our minds to improving our health, well-being and finances, can we achieve this with the help from our angels, guardians, etc.? It seems that our thoughts become choices and our choices become reality, but we cannot do this alone.” Hmm. I don’t know if that’s true.
Erik: My first answer is, “If you can’t do it alone, I’d like to meet who else is in your head.”
Me: Ah!
Jamie giggles.
Erik; I know what she or he means. They think that there has to be a community around them that has the same belief system.
Me: Mm hm.
Erik: But no, you don’t need to. What you choose to believe in, where you place your truth, that’s what you’re going to experience in life. You’re not going to see the other things.
(Long pause)
Me: Is that all? Do you have anything else on that?
Erik: No, not unless you want to.
Me: Well, I don’t know where to go with that.

Me: Here’s another one from a reader. “There seems to be a lot of talk about genetically modified food which can cause a lot of harm to human beings. What is the government trying to hide, if anything, because I sense that this is not a big deal to the FDA or the government. It seems to make sense if we ate more organic food we’d be healthier, but we continue to eat the wrong foods as a society.” So I guess talk to us about genetically modified foods and whether or not the government says, “Who cares?”
Erik: I know one thing. They believe that GMO food is better than organic, because they’re able to make a plant that shuns the insect away so you don’t have to use pesticides. They want the plant to have more vitamins. But what they’re not taking into consideration is that the natural evolution of this plant is paralleling the natural evolution of the human’s needs.
Me: What?
Erik: That’s true, because we’re all one, right?
Me: Oh, yeah.
Dur.
Erik: So, what we’re doing is shaping how the plants are growing and what the trees are doing—shaping and growing, what the Earth needs, the Earth is giving to us. We’re all giving energetically to each other, though. We’re not so conscious of the effort that’s happening. So what’s ruining us is that our minds are telling us, “Well, we can go ahead and take you and make you better.”
Me: Mm hm.
Erik: That’s not the absolute truth. Organic is best—original, heirloom, whatever. All those things are better to consume and eat. That’s like the whole sit with the cow stuff and the chickens and the hormones. They don’t need that shit.
Me: No, but I don’t understand. If you modify a gene, it’s not like you’re putting some poison into it. It’s just making it better. It’s like giving Darwin’s Law a little lift. It’s not like an extra substance.
Erik: It’s a lift beyond what our body really needs.
Me: Oh! All right, so our bodies are not ready for the genetically modified food because it’s outstripping our own evolution-based needs?
Erik: It’s not outstripping our evolution, but we can’t digest it properly.
Me: So, it’s more evolve that our bodies are ready for” Our bodies are not as evolved?
Erik: Yeah, so it’s not giving us what we’re truly needing.
Me: Well what’s wrong with genetically modifying them so that they resist insects? (Pause) Then you don’t have to use pesticides! What’s wrong with that?
Erik: Well the reason we have to use pesticides is because we started investing in farmers who have thousands of fucking acres, so they don’t have the people that can actually grow it organically. What happened to 5-acre farms all over the fucking place where people could manage it, turn a dime over—
Jamie (sounding puzzled): Turn a dime over?
Me (chuckling): Yeah, I don’t get that but okay.
Erik: Make a profit.
Jamie: That’s a weird saying!
Erik: So, make a profit and do it all organically and locally. You know they had to apply the pesticide so that they could keep it fresh, ship it. So many people touch it. It goes through so much shit and you’re fucking eating it right in the store. You’re not even washing it, you dirty people!
Jamie and I burst out laughing.
Jamie (mimicking Erik is a degusted voice): You dirty people! So funny.
Erik: It needs to—the structure of how we’re growing our food needs to change. It needs to fall back into the hands of the locals.
Me: Yeah, good luck with that! The horse has already left the barn on that one. There’s just so much money and marketing involved, you know? I don’t think we ever will.
(Long pause)
Erik: Pretty sad. I think we will go back, Mom. Here’s how I see it happening: we watch people taking medicine right now—people are in an uproar about medicines. They’re going back to natural remedies.
Me: Mm hm. That’s true.
Erik: Even people who you wouldn’t expect are going back to natural remedies and natural remedies are working. They’re doing their job. So, pretty soon, the masses are going to hear about it and it’s going to be part of a norm.
Me: Well look at organic foods. That was not a big deal until, you know, the last couple of decades.
Erik: Right, and that’s about to hit the mass level and then people are going to want to follow through. I’m more excited about all of these sky rise farms—buildings that are specifically built to grow in, not a place to have your office, but to have dirt, sun, everything, but it’s indoor growing.
Me: Okay.
Erik: So no bugs or anything. Think of it as mass greenhouse designs. Imagine in the city where land is scarce or what not, we have these sky rise grow buildings. That’d be fucking cool.
Me: That’d be awesome!

I hope you all attend the bug Channeling Erik Weekend of F-ing Enlightenment (his title, not mine) in February at Jamie’s place. It’s going to be wildly insightful and funny. Treat your spiritual self! Can’t wait to see you there! Here’s the LINK.
