A few days ago I read the post titled My New Old Friend. The author describes how she “met” Erik and how he has quickly become a part of her life. I have to admit, I felt a twinge of jealousy. She goes on to mention that she is a huge prankster, much like Erik of course. That made me a little sad as I am definitely NOT a prankster. In fact I’d go so far as to say I don’t even like pranks. (I know I know I should lighten up). I felt like as much as I love Erik, it just made me keenly aware of how different we are. A few hours later I was going to listen to a podcast that I subscribe to and instead I had this strong thought that I should listen to the recording of a reading that I had with an intuitive 2 years prior. Although the reading was great, I never actually listened to the recording. Very quickly into it she starts describing a past life that had a “powerful effect on me.” In that life I was a man (I’m a woman now) and I was a miner. I was funny and goofy and everyone loved me for my humor and how I lightened up the work in the mine. I pulled a prank that led to a fatal accident where some miners and myself were killed. We didn’t all die right away and were trapped for a period of time before we ran out of oxygen and died. In those moments I felt the overwhelming pain of what I had done. People had died because I was being silly. After listening to that I thought OMG – there *is* a part of me that is like Erik! It’s not a part of my personality in this lifetime, but no f*ing wonder! This thought really hit me so I had to pause the recording to process it for a minute. A second after I paused it and was still looking at my phone, a banner popped up alerting me to a new Channeling Erik email. In that second I knew it was Erik who led me to listen to that reading. Not only did remembering that life help me to connect to Erik but my life has changed SO much in the past two years and I felt like I was listening to it with an entirely new set of ears. It was incredibly powerful for me to hear the things the intuitive said to me now that I forgot about because I really didn’t understand at the time but are very clear now. I will always be grateful for this reminder from Erik that we are all one – we are all born with personality traits but those are just chosen for this life to help us with what we need to learn and accomplish. On a soul level, I feel Erik’s presence and am so grateful to have him in my life. Blessings to all others out there who are touched by the chord of Erik’s love! Fuck ya!!!
