I’ve been reflecting on the last 6 years and how things have evolved. I felt such deep grief and despair those first few years, even as I received the signs that served as evidence that Erik might still be alive. Having conversations with him every week or two has helped me forge a new relationship with my son. That relationship is different than it was before, but it’s still very much real. On one side, I miss the physical. He was such a great hugger. On the other side, our relationship is no longer about me trying to “fix” him and make him happy. It was no longer about worrying whether he’d ever be able to have a family and support that family as well as himself. Now, he’s become my teacher and friend, but still very much my son. Reading this, I hope you will realize that you, too, can continue to have a relationship with your deceased loved ones knowing that they’re exactly the same, just in a different dimension and without a physical body and any of the physical or mental illnesses that body might have had. 

It looks like the polls indicate you guys want the 2017 Channeling Erik event to be in the UK. Ireland was a very close second. I don’t know much about cities in the UK, so maybe you can leave suggestions as a comment. 

Now for a contest! We haven’t had one for such a long time! Which grade teacher did Erik have a big crush on? Email your answer to emedhus@gmail.com. The winner gets a signed copy of Erik’s book!

Me: I need the date of newly discovered bodies that were found in some caves in South Africa called Homo Naledi. How old are these newly discovered bodies? How many tens of thousands of years ago or whatever?

Robert: He’s showing me this visual, and I was just looking around. I can see a cave. I didn’t see any bodies, so. Okay, Erik, so how old?

(Pause)

Robert (chuckling): He’s pulling up one of the bodies, one of the people who are in spirit now.

Me: Okay.

Robert: It’s a female energy.

Me: Okay, well tell me about this Homo Naledi. What are they like? When did they live?

Robert: So it’s a new species of hominid?

Me: Yeah, a new hominid, I guess.

Robert: Yeah, because she looks different!

Robert laughs.

Me: Like how?

Robert: It wasn’t like 10 or 15 years ago. I saw the number 150. I’m sure it’s not 150 years. It’s gotta be 150,000.

Me: Okay.

Robert: If it’s a new species of hominid, that makes sense.

Me: Yeah, exactly.

Robert: She has a wider nose. Her hair looks blanched from the sun. Her skin is leathery like it’s been in the sun a lot.

Me: Okay. Anything special about these hominids?

Robert: Just the reason that they were there [in the cave.] They did something that caused them to end up in this cave. They got in trouble. It was some kind of punishment.

Me: Okay.

Robert: Like they were put to death or something.

Me: In the cave?

Robert: Yeah, but she’s not going into any detail about that. She’s not a very talkative one!

Robert laughs.

Me: Were they ever to use tools and make fire.

Robert: Yeah. She was also telling me something: they would use caves to sleep in. I asked if they were there because they were diseased or something. Maybe they had something and were quarantined.

Me: Yeah, hm.

Robert: She said, “no.”

Me: Did you do something wrong like break some laws, sleep around?

Robert: It revolved around superstition. They were different in some way. No, not all of them. Just one of them. She was the one who was different, and the whole family was ostracized because of that.

Me: Aw. Well, what was different about you?

(Long pause as Robert listens)

Robert: Oh, well that’s really simple! It was that her eye color was different from everyone else’s. That makes sense because we were talking about the children with the black eyes!

Me: Yeah, there we go!

Robert: That makes sense why she came through, then.

Me: Yeah.

Robert: And how when you don’t understand something you’re faced with that’s different from you, it can make you afraid.

Me: Yeah. So what color are her eyes.

Homo Naledi female: They saw me as an omen. We weren’t big hunters. We grazed. We tried to live off the—we did hunt some small animals, but that wasn’t our primary source.

Me: Like berries and stuff?

Homo Naledi female: Yes.

Me: Did they have agriculture back then?

Robert: No, not like what we think.

Me: Berries, roots and stuff?

Robert: It was more like foraging.

Homo Naledi female: At the time, they started having problems finding food.

Me: Ah, so they blamed her!

Robert: Right, because she was the only thing that was different.

Me: Interesting. What color was—

Robert: Most of their eyes, well, they look brown, but they have a different brown than I’ve seen. You know how some people have brown eyes, but they look almost—

Me: Golden?

Robert: Yeah, like gold or yellow in it. Copper colored. Maybe that’s a good way to describe it.

Me: Okay.

Robert: Hers weren’t that way. They were like—I’m trying to pick it out—there was some green in there, basically.

Me: Okay.

Robert: There was still some of the other color in it, but there was some green to it. Kind of striking, really. Really pretty, but they didn’t see it that way.

Robert chuckles.

Me: I guess not! Dang. Well, thank you for coming and talking to us, and Robert, Erik, thank you. We’re going to close here, and we’ll come back and give Erik the choice of talking about whatever topic he wants or bringing in a few of the 911 terrorists.

Robert: Okay.

Me: So, y’all be thinking about it! Thank you, guys!

Robert: Bye!

Me: Bye!
