Me: Erik, if you said that we’re never given more than we can handle—that we will only attract what we can handle. So, why do people suffer so much and some to the point of suicide?
Erik: Well, what they don’t take into account is that other people also have free will and can mess your life up with their shit. By the way, Hi, Mom!
Me: Oh, I’m so sorry, Baby! Hi! How are you!
Erik (laughing): I’m just giving you a hard time!
Me: Well, it’s a dirty job, but somebody’s gotta keep me in line.
Erik: But back to your question, you attract stuff into your life and you also attract other people into your life and sometimes they bring in their own baggage and dump it on you. Even if someone kills themselves, they’re still eternal beings, so in the long run, they can handle it. Sometimes this is a lesson for them anyway. For instance, some people need to learn to value the human experience. They need to learn how everything ends up fine; they need to learn how to not judge what happens to them and just accept it as it is, and they need to disconnect emotionally from the shit that happens, knowing it will eventually pass. In that way, you can handle anything you attract.
Me: Even if it kills you. Hmm. Sounds like a tall order. Now, one blog member told me a cool story. She was downstairs when she saw her sister or maybe a friend just walking right past her as though she was invisible. Then, the blog member went up stairs and saw the girl there. The girl promised she never went downstairs. She said, “Hey, weren’t you just downstairs” and the girl said no. So, I’m wondering if different realities can bleed into each other. Was that the friend or sister in another reality?
Erik: Parallel lives? It happens all the time, but most of the time we call it déjà vu. A lot of times it’ll occur in a real life dream state or an awake state. Some people just think they’re not paying attention enough, because they’ll usually see it out of their peripheral vision and they’re not really looking for something like that to happen. Some people think they’re just drinking too much!
I laugh.
Erik: As we all know, if you’re not looking for it, most of the time it won’t exist for you.
