I’m kind of stoked because my eldest daughter, Kristina, and I are going to Ireland in April. Initially Rune and I were going because our dear friend, Lesley Farrington, is getting married. We met her through the blog, and she’s come to visit us all the way from Ireland on multiple occasions and has been to some of the CE Weekends. Rune found out he has something else going on, so I thought a mother/daughter trip would be a great opportunity. It will probably be the last chance for us to do it because in June, she and her husband are moving to North Carolina for a job and a orthopedic joint replacement fellowship respectively. Then they’re going to start a family pretty much right away. So I want to make as many mommy memories as I can while I can. Should be fun. Kristina and I have always wanted to see the countryside in Ireland.
I listed the wrong name of the show yesterday so let me try this again. Please join medium Kim Babcock, Erik and me on The Christine Upchurch Show LIVE at 1:00 PM CT Today. Listen live HERE. Listen to the archived show HERE.
Me: How much of our soul’s personality do we carry with each incarnation experience? Is there a certain percentage?
Erik: Nah, because when you’re getting into different incarnations, you’re choosing really specific scenarios, and so you might want to throw in 10% of your core mass or maybe you’re throwing in 50% of your core mass to enhance that character, that timeframe, that identity that you’re building. That’s different for every individual case.
Me: Okay, that makes sense.
Erik: But I will be clear. Wait, wait. I will be clear. You never have an incarnation where you throw in 0%.
Me: Okay. This is from a different person, not that it matters. Can you interact with your various selves in another life?
Erik: Yes.
Jamie blushes.
Me: Wait, can we have more than one self in this life?
Erik: Yes.
Me: You can?
Erik (fanning his arms out): YOU WILL NOT IMPLODE!
Me: Whoa. So I could be a rancher in Wyoming and a doctor in Houston?
Jamie (blushing and rubbing a temple): I’m sorry. He keeps making rude jokes about having sex with yourself.
Me: That’s a given. He’s gotta do things like that.
Erik: Yes, you can have same portions of yourself incarnated at the same time.
Me: Wow, how common is that?
Erik: It’s not too common, but it’s not unheard of.
Me: Do I have somebody—
Erik: No.
Me: Okay. So what would it be like to meet that person? Would it feel funny, different?
Erik: Most likely, you wouldn’t come across yourself, but there are occasions when you will. What it feels like is that you really know that person. It’s not like a sexual love kind of thing though if it was, hell, that’s fine. When I say you feel like you know someone, everyone immediately goes to, “Oh, I’m getting in bed with that person.” That’s not what I’m really trying to say. I’m trying to say it’s an acknowledgement that goes beyond that need to romance someone. It’s not unhealthy.
Me: Can we use our free will to change our other lives?
Erik: Yes, you can.
Me: How?
Erik: Why do people keep—
Jamie (laughing): He’s off and pacing!
Me: Of course.
Jamie: He’s kind of mumbling to himself.
Erik: Why do people keep fucking thinking that time is fixed and that matter is stagnant. That shit’s gotta stop!
Me: Cuz we’re kind of slow!
Erik: We can’t talk about some stuff if that’s what everybody believes in!
Me: Hey, you didn’t know that when you were here, so cut us a little slack.
Jamie: Oh, she nailed you!
Erik (nodding his head): That’s true; that’s true, but how can we show people this or at least give them the concept that it’s possible and that it’s actually more plausible to have the belief that everything is flexible than the belief that everything is fixed. How can we push the masses over into that plausibility? That’s what I want to go for. And when you get into that, then the questions you’re asking will seem a little silly.
Jamie: Well, I guess, Erik, but if we don’t ask the question, we can’t sort it out in our own heads.
Me: That’s true.
Erik: All right. Ask the questions.
Me: Okay. I don’t know what this guy means by using free will to change our other lives. Is he talking about the other lives in our current lifetime or all our other lifetimes past, present and future? Can we change those with our free will?
Erik: Yes, you can change every incarnation, even the one you’re living in, even—
Jamie bursts out laughing.
Jamie: It’s kind of fun to see him a little frustrated. He knows what he wants to say, but I don’t think his, uh, he can’t convey it in English as quickly as he wants to.
Erik: Everybody, when you look at your life right now and you see yourself in three years, you can totally design it how you want, and that’s totally okay. You can see yourself here, there, totally out in the field, it’s totally fine, right? Yeah, because your concept is that the future hasn’t been done yet so it’s flexible, right?
Me: Right.
Erik: Right, but when you look at your past, it’s almost like those goddam fucking history books that they have in school.
Jamie winces.
Me: Whoa!
Erik: Everything is written down, dut, dut, dut, and we’re told that’s what fucking happened and that’s how it’s always going to fucking be, and there’s no way to change it. That’s it. That’s the way you believe your past is. Well guess what? Your past is just as flexible as your future is! The only moment that is somewhat (air quotes) fixed, if we have to use that word, is the one you’re in right now. Now. Now.
Jamie laughs.
Erik: Now. Right now. Now.
We all laugh.
Erik: So, if we’re looking at future lives and past lives, you can, by connecting to higher consciousness, core self, whatever, or even just consciously learning the lessons, contracts, whatever you want to call that shit in this life, and it will affect the other lives that are kind of tethered to or are parallel to a similar contract. You have mass learning within all of your incarnations.
Jamie: That was a really cool image. I don’t think I can explain it, but you have mass learning of all of your incarnations. That’s kind of cool to think of yourself as a mass version.
Me: Yeah!
Erik: Did I blow your mind, Jamie?
Me: What mind? Can our afterlife self change our current life or our other lives?
Erik: Yes, but that’s more driven by the lives that are being led, if that makes sense.
Me: Oh, okay.
Erik: I don’t want you to think that your afterlife self is the conductor of all of them because that son of a bitch knows way much more than all the other lives being led, so we can’t give that guy the baton! Why would you be choosing to live all of those lives and doing this shit?
I ask myself that very question on a regular basis.
Me: The afterlife self isn’t our higher consciousness, is it?
Erik: Yeah.
Me: Oh, it is?
Erik: Yeah. Yes.
Me: Do you ever hang out with my afterlife self?
Erik: Yes.
Me: Wow.
Erik: I can poke it with a stick.
Jamie giggles.
Me: Yeah, prod it with a cattle prod sometimes, man! So tell me about that. Tell me about our little encounters.
Erik: Actually, I like to hang out with your higher self because it understands all the healing that needs to be done in your life on Earth and kind of what your purpose is.
Me: Mm hm.
Erik: In talking to you, your higher self has already done that.
Me: Yeah.
Nice.
Erik: So, it’s kind of cool to look at the “before you,” the “now you,” and the “after version you.”
Jamie: He’s laughing because he’s making it sound very linear.
Me: Yeah, that is just weird. Am I still a mother figure to you?
Erik: Very much so, yeah.
Me: Oh good! I always want to be your mommy.
Jamie laughs.
Me: I do! How many selves do people have, usually?
Erik: I’ve met people who have 6 or 7 and some who have 100s.
Me: Wow, so there’s a big range. How many do I have, and how many do you have?
Erik: Ten million!
Jamie: No, he’s talking in the range of the 30s.
Me: Both of us?
Jamie (giggling): Yeah, he has more than you!
Me: More? You’re just an overachiever! What about Jamie? How many lives does she have going on now?
(Pause)
Jamie: Smart-ass!
Me: What?
Jamie: “Hopefully one, because that’s all that she can manage.”
We both laugh.
(Pause)
Jamie: Ah, that’s my favorite number! Three is my favorite number.
Me: So you have three?
Jamie: Thirty-three.
Me: Oh, 33. That’s good. That’s a lot.
Jamie: I wonder if that’s why 3 is my favorite number.
Me: Anything else about multiple selves, higher self, anything?
Jamie (chuckling): No, but he’s showing me this really strange image that if you all got together for a family reunion, you’d have to get a long-ass bike, you know, the tandem ones.
Erik: All your incarnated selves on one bike, bum, bum, bum, bum.
Me: That sounds really cheesy like part of a cheesy movie.
Jamie looks at her coffee mug, puzzled.
Me: Okay, this was awesome, guys!
Jamie: He said my mug is cheesy!
Me: Let me see it.
It has all sorts of cats on it. Yep, cheesy.
Jamie (laughing): He says it’s cheesy. My cat mug!
Me: It is!
Jamie: It was given to me.
Oh, so you’re off the hook.
We close as per usual.
Enjoy the final (sadly) part of our Bigfoot interview. What a freaking ride! Have a great weekend, peeps!
