Blog member and medium, Jason, shared this post from his blog, The Shape of a Cloud (which you can find on my links list). I think you’ll really enjoy the exchange between Erik and him!
Early this month I posted this Q & A with Erik on my blog for March’s entry. And I had a CE friend and reader reply:
She was telling me with great humor about how someone she knew, that she had tried to share Erik with thought Erik must be a lower evolved or low level entity because of the way he cusses and talks. She indicated that he (her friend) supposedly was used to communicating with and reading about Ascended masters, Angels, and speakers of great dignity.
I laughed, and thought to my self… “Oh gosh,… I would so hate to have a spiritual teacher who couldn’t relate to the masses, the down trodden, the common man, and the average teen. My own spiritual heroes got down and dirty with all of life’s incarnations. Whores, Thieves, the Sick, the unclean, the unwashed. They knew all about life’s baser emotions and could not only relate and feel what that was like, but from that experience could offer a well of compassion and perspective to get their higher message across in a way that made sense and that I could relate to.
I always like to tell people, it’s not the song, nor the sound that matters, but it’s the heart of the message that matters. Compare that to your own heart song and truth will speak to you. The rest is frosting on the cake…. Eat up!

Early March
Latest Q & A w/ Erik M.
Q)
Hey Erik, Here’s a question people seem to ask a lot, “What is my life purpose”? Any comment?
A) E-
“Whhat !,…. you – “think”….. just because,…. you “might” – have “certain possibilities” that MAY… become “probabilities”…. that you “HAVE TO BE”… forewarned what they are; or that somehowwwwww….. if you’re NOT told…… you’ll be stuck or destined to endure what you think they “could be“, or what you fear they “might be“, some shit that you don’t want any part of…..?!?
Fuck that ! Just ’cause that potential is out there doesn’t mean you have to CHOOSE it. Just be your own damn self! However you think that is.
If it’s your highest self, Awesome!
If it’s your dank skank, roll in it.
But whatever you CHOOSE……
choose what’s you, and let that other shit go!….
’cause if you insist on holding on to that worry, it’s just gonna breed with itself, until your drownin’ in shit, and that’s all you got.
One – big – hot – mess.
Sit’s there and smells…
mmmmm shit…
life’s… shit……
bull.
Wash, wipe, clean it off and be you!
Be YOU in everything you do and say, and don’t let the worry and fear you think about define who you are.
Even in pain, you always have the opportunity to accept your personal awesomeness.
That’s a change of attitude.
Once you change your thinking, you allow new experiences to happen in your life that are more in line with how you see yourself.
What you do or don’t do is totally up to you.
And that’s a life purpose the Universe can get behind.)
Q)
“Don’t you think that’s a little harsh”?
A) E-
Hell no. Most people who ask this are not asking for career guidance, their asking cause they are hurtin. They don’t need help filling out occupational quizzes to find their joy job, they need a kick in the ass to remember who they are…
Q)
“Well, what if they don’t know who they are, I mean, they want help finding that.”
A) E-
Yeah, see, look. That’s just it. They are commin from a place of “I don’t, I can’t, I want, I am not.” I can sit here and put on some fucking choir robe and a some damn halo and speak in a deep voice, and say…..”Dear child, YOU WILL BECOME GREAT! YOU WERE DESTINED TO BE” So then they take that and play with it in their head and most of the time it just turns into mental masturbation. They sit there and fondle it so much that all they can do is sit there and compare what I say, to how they see themselves in their now moments. Whether their aware of it or not. That’s what their doing. Their sittin there unconsciously or consciously goin, hmmm.. I am not, I want, I don’t, I can’t….. See. Look here. A body is not going to start saying I can, I am, I have, I know…. UNTIL… they understand it through experience. And to experience is to DO and BE…. So if us peeps on this side see that they are in a place of emotional comfort, abundance of self, or acknowledgement of self…. THEN, we can give step by step specific advice. But that advice is not going to be an end all to everything forever, because a body is always in motion, right? I mean, what was true yesterday is only as true as you see it today. So if your personal joy used to be writing a book but of late you find joy in just being a mom, well then the goal of life is not to write a book or produce a rock star honor roll student, Your life purpose is to bring it, bring as much as yourself to whatever is your joy. Now I know youre all gonna say,.. oh.. gheee. this sounds all kinds of wishy washy and like someone’s flittin around from one thing to the next….. no…. that’s not wha I am sayin…. I am sayin…..BE YOU, how ever you see yoruself. Be the best you can, and let the rest go… That don’t mean, you can sit on the corner, play your guitar and expect to provide for a family… no no no… your workin within a system here. You come here agreeing to play as you within a system. Just cause you don’t like the rules of the game, don’t mean you can throw up your hands and say I am not playin no moe… welll you can, but it wont get you far. But you DO have choice about how you define yourself, and that will drive more choices.”
