With the U.S. tour having such a smashing beginning, I’m already getting excited about our next one in the U.K. If we can find a cheap one, I’d love to host it in a castle. There are several that offer themselves as idyllic venues. Thank everyone for giving me ideas for cities. Now let’s narrow it down, but this time, vote for a city that you feel you’d definitely attend. That way, we get an idea of a headcount. Because Ireland was such a close second, I’m going to include Dublin. 

I want to extend a big shoutout to Cesar Benavides, videographer extraordinaire, for volunteering to create a montage of the Denver event for you guys to download for free. I don’t want you to miss out just because you couldn’t attend! Thanks so much, Cesar!!

Me: Is polygamy something we should embrace in the fourth and fifth dimensions?

Erik (Whispering through a grin): Mom, I think we should embrace it anywhere.

Jamie laughs.

Me: Oh, god! Well, it is about embracing, just more than one person at a time.

Erik: In the higher dimensions it’s definitely easier because it’s more understood. You’re not carrying the anger and the jealousy and the misunderstanding that comes with it. Is it necessary that you do that one path? No, because you have the free will to do whatever the hell you want. So, if it’s monogamy that you still want to hold on to and focus on, then relax. That can totally be your thing. I just, you know, want people to know that what they believe in so strong here is not necessarily the end all, be all.

Me: I see. So, in the higher dimensions, is it more prevalent or will it become more prevalent for men and women to love several men and women just because love is so important?

Erik: It’s definitely a stronger love here—now if we’re talking about intimate love, you have to remember that there’s no disease thing here, so we’re not worried about, “What did you bring home to me? Now we’re going to die from it.”

Me: Oh, yeah, of course.

Jamie giggles.

Me: But as far as marital love goes, not just platonic love—I’m talking about romantic love with different partners on both sides. Is that something that’s considered—well I don’t want to put a ranking to it, because I know how you’re going to respond, but what I’m asking is this: Is polygamy considered a more enlightened viewpoint there since you’re not building barriers to love?

Erik: Yes.

This is from another session:

Erik: You know what, Mom? I kind of find it funny now that when people—just the spiritual people—it tends to be just the spiritual people—when they say they have a disease or a cancer that they’re being punished? “Oh, I have this breast cancer because I’m being punished because I couldn’t’ love myself. Okay, maybe that’s two percent that that’ll make sense—

Jamie (laughing hard): He just laid a bunch of f-bombs.

Erik: Jesus Christ even got into that f-bomb and some other words.

Erik laughs. I have the feeling he’s just pulling our leg, though.

Erik: Really? What part of the granola spiritual world is there, “You’re rewarded and now you’re punished?” People have really gotta get off that boat! Mom, what do you think we can do to help get away from it? How can we present it?

Me: Sometimes I think it’s easier for people to say they’re being punished instead of doing their homework and try to really get down there and figure out what’s going on.

Erik: So the term “punishment” is just an excuse for them? That’s so fucked up in the head!

Me: Well, it’s a lot of work to try to figure things out! It takes courage and perseverance. Okay, next one. How do children who suffer from severe illness—how do they manage to endure their suffering as well as they seem to?

Jamie (giggling): Erik’s mouth is just wide open! You can tell he’s about to start laughing but he refuses to.

Erik: Really? Mom, you can answer this quicker than I can. Kids are masters. They’re fresh from the whole energetic world. Their pain is not taught to them the way adult pain is. They take it the moment. They don’t take it as a punishment; they don’t take it as, you know, “This is my life forever.” They really know how to stay in the moment.

Me: Yeah. And, no, I could not have answered that as quickly as you could! I couldn’t have answered that at all!

Erik: C’mon. You’ve seen kids and how they handle stuff! They’re like tiny little angels. They get through cancer with a smile on their face every day.

Me: Yeah, that’s true. Because they always have hope. They’ve not been taught to lose hope.

Erik: Yes. They haven’t been tainted by us, by adults, by society. Wouldn’t it be great if we could just get in our brains and just erase—

Jamie (laughing): He shows it like an eraser on the tip of a pencil and goes, “EE OO, EE OO.”

I laugh.

Erik: Yeah, just erase that one part where we were taught that this is how it should be. You know what’s fucked up is that they’re trying to do that shit—erase memories. They’ve succeeded at some of it, so they have it. It’s a laser and it fries the areas of the brain that’s associated with the trigger and the memory. Then, you can’t recall it anymore. That’s it. Gone.
