I think one of the things I enjoy most about these channeling sessions is the banter between Jamie and Erik. Jamie, being the gullible, naive girl she often is, sets herself up for Erik’s relentless teasing and raunchy jokes. One day it made me think, ‘What does Erik really think about Jamie?’

Me: Erik, you tease Jamie a lot, and you prank her and all that stuff. Tell me how you really treat her and feel about her? Are you ever nice to her?

Jamie burst out laughing!

Me: Well, I wanna know how you really feel about her!

Jamie (to Erik): Come on, Erik!

Me: Yeah, come on!

Jamie: He first says he treats me like a sister, and he was saying that there’s—(to Erik) No, I’m not helping you! —He’s looking at me like, “Come on. We should talk about this together,” and I’m like, ‘No!’

I giggle.

Jamie (to Erik): Yes, you!

Me: I’m asking the question of you, Erik, not of Jamie.

Erik: There’s a mutual respect. I’ll tell you one thing. I really think she’s gifted.

Jamie: Aw.

Me: Aw.

Erik: And I really respect her work. I just like that she get irritated.

Me: Oh my god, you are like a brother. Like a little pest of a brother.

Jamie (to Erik): So, if I stop getting irritated at your language, our relationship would change, wouldn’t it?

(Pause)

Jamie (laughing): He goes, “Don’t do it. Don’t do it! It’s so much fun!”

Me: Why is it so much fun for you?

Erik: Cuz when I talk to you guys, my family’s not annoyed by it anymore.

Me: Yeah, well, we’re used to it.

Erik: And I kind of like the fact that I can speak to someone that doeasn’t think that it’s a—

Jamie (to Erik): But cussing’s not a parlor trick, though. (Pause) Oh. Well, yeah. That would be your motive.

(Pause)

Jamie: So, when he talks to the blog members and stuff like that, when they hear a bit of the cuss word or the sassiness, then they know that they’ve got the right person. So, it’s super easy for them to say, “Oh no. I really know it was Erik, because I heard this, or felt that.

Erik: You know, Jamie doesn’t need to do that. She just sees me, and she knows it’s me, but yet—

Jamie: I know—even in that session with that girl this morning, I apologized for the cursing and I asked him, ‘Why do you do it?’ and he says, “I gotta be true to myself.”

Me: That’s true.

Jamie: And I said, ‘ All right.’ The woman was laughing.

Me: Well, do you ever treat Jamie nicely?

Jamie: Oh! He says, “Define nice!”

Me: Well, I don’t know. Jamie, how do you define nice? Erik, do you ever just stop teasing her?

(Long pause)

Erik: No.

Me: Erik! Do you ever give her hugs?

Jamie (to Erik): I think you have hugged me twice. Oh, maybe three times. Okay, okay. Three times. But no, you should hug me every time we meet!

Me: Yeah!

Jamie (to Erik): Or when you leave! You should hug me before you leave.

Me: There we go. Is that a pact?

Jamie (laughing): A reluctant pact, yes.

Me: Oh, boy. Well, it’s better than nothing. So, we’ll see if that changes, because all I hear is little brother picking on big sister.

Jamie: Mm Hm.

Me: Or vice versa. Big brother picking on little sister. It sounds more like a pester little brother picking on a big sister.

Jamie: Yes.

Me: Okay.
