One more announcement: I’m calling out for Ask Erik column questions. To be considered, you have to email me ONE question and it must be short and succinct or the magazines will reject it. Email them to me at emedhus@gmail.com. I’ll consider any question before midnight tonight, but since I get so many, I won’t reply to the email when you send me it. Thanks for understanding!

I lied. I have another announcement: I plan on interviewing Jesus and Mary together to clear up some discrepancies. Where their others beside the “virgin birth” question? Email me. Also, I don’t know much about Prince so if you have questions you’d like me to ask him during our interview, let me know!

As in every week, Tuesdays and Thursdays are “Best of Erik” days. Here’s an old one channeled by angelic channeler, Jeannie Barnes. She’s in my links list under the Favorites tabs if you’d like to check her out. She’s very good and very sweet. Here, we discuss a variety of diseases, conditions and disorders. 

Jeannie: And now the angel is talking.

Angel: AIDS is also a way of bringing people together. If you remember, years back when AIDS first came out how people would make quilts. So, many groups were formed to help.

Me: Yeah, that’s right.

Angel: Illness oftentimes brings about great love.

Me: Yeah, that’s awesome. Painful, but awesome. Such sacrifice. Now, why stillbirths and infant deaths? What’s the spiritual nature behind these tragedies?

Angel: It’s what we spoke of before that when a soul reincarnates and oftentimes they see, they get a glimpse of what their life will be like when they’re in the womb—

Me: And they say, “Never mind!”

Angel: Yes.

Me: But do stillbirths and infant deaths ever occur to teach about loss? Say a person lived pretty recklessly in his previous life and had no true regard for the sanctity of life, do they sometimes choose to be stillborn or die in early infancy to learn about the value of life? Or do they sometimes want to help teach family members about loss or help them experience loss to further their spiritual growth? Are there other reasons, in other words?

Erik: There are. There are many reasons. Sometimes they choose this early exit point because they realize their life will be so painful. They can choose to help someone else. With stillbirths, miscarriages, and infant deaths, people learn about love, they learn about loss, and they learn that life is sacred. So, yep.

Me: Okay. Now, there are certain illnesses that, to me—of course I’m not any kind of spiritual expert, but it seems like certain illnesses or characteristics are signs that a soul is not comfortable in the physical. Some examples would include eczema, autoimmune diseases, clumsiness, acne. In other words, are their certain traits or disorders that point to a soul not being comfortable in the physical plane?

Erik: The vast majorities of illnesses are because of that—mental illness too, Mom. Mental illness is a result of just not being able to live on the earthly plane comfortably. Of course sometimes mental illnesses are part of someone’s spiritual plan to teach and to learn, too. But you know, we talked about energetic healing, right?

Me: Uh huh.

Erik: So, most of this can be helped. There needs to be more communication between the traditional medical field and the energetic healing field. If they work together, miracles can be performed all the time. What happens is that there is a division. You have a people who don’t believe in physicians. There is that trend in the world more and more that everything can be healed through energetic healing.

Me: Oh, I believe that too!

Erik: Yeah, and that’s true, Mom, but also, why do you think we have physicians and certain medications? There are times when traditional medicine is necessary, at least at this point in time, but there are also times when energy healing is necessary, and there are times when you gotta have both.

Me: Okay. But are there certain diseases that mean specific things? Like arthritis—is that a symptom of something the soul’s going through? Same with cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.

Erik: Yep, different diseases and disorders have a spiritual basis, sure. And there are books written on these spirit-body connections. All are signals to the soul that something needs to change spiritually. Let’s take arthritis. When someone has arthritis, it usually means that person is resisting something in their life. It can even mean they resist dealing with certain resentments. Or it can mean they’re always pushing, pushing, pushing ahead—just forcing things. So, the body, the physical body just fights back. There are many more spiritual factors for arthritis, but these are the most common ones. Again, all illness is either a lesson, a teaching tool, a communication to the soul that something’s fucked up in the spiritual growth of that being, or a combination of any of these.

Me: Wow. What about heart disease?

Erik: Okay, now heart disease comes from holding things in and not releasing emotions: anger, shame, resentment, even love and affection.

Me: Hm, that makes so much sense! What about cancer?

Erik: Cancer is kinda different. Cancer, like a cancer cell, can hang out in a body and be undecided if it wants to multiply or not. So a  person has an opportunity to work with that. Lotsa times, cancer is a way of saying, ”I don’t want to be here anymore.” It’s like an exit point opportunity.

Me: Oh! Okay. What about diabetes?

Erik: Diabetes is, uh, it happens in people who don’t really hold the body as sacred. It’s an unconscious thing, but it’s there. Sometimes when people realize they have diabetes, they change. They start to treat the body with more respect.

Me: Are we talking about any type of diabetes—both Type I and Type II?

Erik: No, I’m just taking about the one you get from being overweight and stuff. I’ll have to find out more for you about the other type.

Me: Are you getting any information about my two sisters who have diabetes? One passed away and the other one is still very much alive here on the physical plane, but both of them are insulin dependent diabetics and are or were (in the case of Denise) very thin.

Jeannie: Let’s see if I can get anything on that. (pause) It’s just blank. I’m not getting anything.

Me: That’s cool. I can ask you later, Erik. That way you’ll have more time to find out additional information for all these spirit/body disruptions, including Type I diabetes like your aunts have or had. Tough dealing with two tenses here!

Jeannie: Yeah, I’m just drawing a blank.

Me: Everything happens in its appropriate time. No worries.

Here’s some comic relief for you!
