Sorry for not writing much of a preface here, but it’s been a very hectic workday, and I have to squeeze these transcriptions in whenever I get the chance. Again, you’ll notice I’ve asked Erik some of the same questions through different mediums in an effort to seek a uniform and consistent message. I hope you enjoy.
Channeling Transcript
Me: How do we meet other beings in the afterlife? Does there have to be some sort of connection, or can we meet strangers, too?
Erik: Well, we all have a great big core group of souls that we interact with, you know, the ones we keep going back to the earthly plane with?
Me: Yeah, I get it.
Erik: Now, it doesn’t mean we’re all gonna incarnate together at the same time each lifetime, but…
Kim: That’s obvious, because Erik is there now, Denise is there, Seth is there, and many of my loved ones are over there too.
Erik: Yes, but sometimes we don’t incarnate at all during the lifetime some of the other souls in our group are in.
Me: Uh huh.
Erik: So, we tend to hang out more with our core group in heaven or on the earthly plane and—
Me: Wait, how are these groups formed? What’s the basis for the grouping? Does it have to do with different vibrational energy, or—
Erik: Yes. And those vibrational level, and, um, those levels can run the whole spectrum, across the spectrum. The vibrational levels can run from the very bottom to the very top of the spectrum, so they can be good teachers and students for each other on the earthly plane.
Me: Oh, yeah, yeah! That makes sense.
Erik: And when you come to heaven, you interact with a lot of those same souls from the core.
Me: So they’re not from the same vibrational level? It’s a mix for that reason?
Erik: Yeah.
Me: But why does one mix occur where it could be a mix from, I mean. Oh, how do I explain this? How is it chosen which souls from different parts of the spectrum go into each core group?
Erik: We choose that as souls ourselves. We all start pretty much along the same lines. So, go back to the caveman. We can all be this huge core group of cavemen, and then as time goes on, we’re going back and forth between heaven and the earthly plane, right?
Me: Yeah.
Erik: So some souls progress faster or slower than others. Everyone progresses at different rates, and it’s mostly based on the choices each individual soul makes, how hard that soul is willing to work, how frequently they decide to incarnate, you know?
Me: Ah, yeah, I do.
Erik: It really makes a difference what we choose to do on the earthly plane, how we make use of our time over there.
Me: Okay! Lets see. What kind of work do people do over there, Erik? Of course there are teachers, healers, and—
Kim: In heaven?
Me: Yeah.
Erik: We can choose to do whatever we want. We can choose to landscape, we can choose to be a guardian angel, we can help souls who are just arriving who aren’t happy about being here, uh—
Me: Well since you can travel anywhere by thought, obviously there aren’t any taxi cab drivers, are there?
Erik: Like I said, we can choose anything we want. Say driving a cab was something we really enjoyed on the earthly plane, we might want to do that sort of service over here for people. Maybe some souls like riding around in cabs. We can choose to materialize here and there in the heavenly plane; we can manifest whatever we want, you know, in a moment—
Me: Yeah.
Erik: We can live in whatever environment we choose, do the work that we want, so of course we can conjure up a cab and drive around in it and of course we can hail a cab and ride around in it. Plus, cab drivers here have better attitudes and the ride free!
Me (laughing): I hope they smell better than some of the ones over here!
(Pause)
Me: What do they like to call that place, the afterlife, heaven, the other side, what?
Kim: He’s thinking for a moment and furrowing his brow. He shrugs and says there are lots of names for it and they’re all good, but he prefers to call it “Home.”
Erik: Yeah, and lots of times I’ll call it heaven cuz, especially when I’m taking to you, Mom. I know most readers will understand that name.
Of course now that I’m at the end of the transcription of this segment, I realize that I cut Erik off before he could answer the first question about how we meet other souls, strangers or otherwise! Next time..I promise!
