I’d like to extend my sincerest congratulations to Norse Mythology, winner of the Religion and Spirituality category for the 2013 Bloggies. They’re always a formidable competitor and this is their second win in a tow. Kudos to them! Along the same lines, I’m so grateful to all of you for helping Channeling Erik become a…
We’re All Raindrops
Me: One blog member has brought up this philosophy, ACIM. It’s central thought is that the entire material world and all perception is completely devoid of reality—that’s it’s all a dream made up by our ego to keep our true selves in the dark to the fact that we are one with God, perfect, and…
Channeling Mother Teresa, Two Part
What synchronicity that the Huffington Post had an article about Mother Teresa that did not paint a pretty picture. It seems like every time we post a celebrity interview, news on them comes out! Me: Mother Teresa can you discuss the difficulty you experienced when you left the convent, and what happened that changed you…
The Best of Erik: Petty Emotions
Thanks to you all, Channeling Erik is a finalist in the 2013 Bloggies. My daughter’s fashion blog, Pretty Shiny Sparkly, also won as a finalist, and deservedly so! Voting for winner starts today. Listen to Erik talk about negative emotions: Me: If someone feels jealousy, pettiness, or resentment in their heart, but they don’t want…
Ashley on Religion, Part One
Welcome to our channeled mini-series to be aired for the next few Tuesday’s courtesy of blog member, Ash. Please enjoy! I first came to CE last October – a complete novice on all things spiritual. I can say that it was no accident, we’ve all come here for a reason. Elisa and Erik are the…
Channeling Jesus, Part Five
Enjoy the final part of Jesus’s interview. I know some of us, including me, will have withdrawal symptoms! Me: So, what do you think of the state of humanity now? Jesus: It is what it is suppose to be. When you remove yourself from the human life, you’re able to see the possibilities. The possibilities that…
Beauty, Personalities, and, Yes, Apples
Enjoy the last bit of the final session of 2011! Me: Okay. Here’s another question. What is the spiritual side of beauty and fashion? Erik: Kristina asked this, didn’t she? Me: Yes, of course. Erik: Beauty and fashion bring happiness, and happiness is the core of spirituality, so you focus on the joy of what…
Letting Go
This segment of the transcript starts out with more on DMT, which we’ve already covered to some degree. Sorry. But then Erik delves into a very important subject that I, for one, grapple with day in and day out. Enjoy. Me: Erik, I read an article about the D.M.T. spirit molecule. It’s that natural substance…
The Ego
That stinkin’ ego. It sure gets us into a world of trouble, doesn’t it? But why do we have one? It’s all about survival–that sense of separateness crucial to the duality of the human experience. And the ego does what it can to give us a sense of separate identity so that we can create the…
Is Money the Root of All Evil?
One of the blog members posed a very thought provoking question recently, and I was a little surprised by Erik’s response. Me: Erik, why do so many people have so much money while others starve? Jamie: I know! Isn’t it unfair? Me: Yeah. What’s that all about? Erik: We can chalk that up to lessons….
What of Celebrity?
Sorry for such a short post, guys, but I have a full plate today and the next topic is just so unrelated! I have a couple of announcements first: 1) Robert sailed through surgery without a hitch, thanks, in part, to all of your prayers. He is suffering a great deal from pain, and I’m…
