Dear Reader, Although Erik sometimes paints a rosy picture of the afterlife, time and time again he stresses that suicide is not the answer to one’s problems. If you struggle, please understand that the information in my blog and my books is no substitute for professional help. Please click here for a list of resources…
Healing Words from an Abusive Father, Part Two
We still don’t have an update on Raylene. Paulina has worked doggedly to schedule her appointments with other mediums and deserves a great deal of praise and applause for her generosity and love. She’s exhausted. She has reached out to Raylene’s mother to ask, point blank, if her daughter is still alive. If she doesn’t…
Healing Words from an Abusive Father, Part One
I know many of you are eager for an update on Raylene’s condition, but we’re having a difficult time getting any information from her mother. Furthermore, her mother doesn’t want us to set up a GoFundMe page, but many of the other mediums have stepped up to volunteer to take her booked sessions on, and…
Forgiveness, Part Three
The radio show last night was near flawless! Finally! I wish we could go on for a couple of hours so that we can take more callers, but there’s a show that follows ours, dammit. Last time, I ended the show 30 seconds before the hour was up and found out that we aired for…
Forgiveness, Part Two
Happy Thursday, everyone! Tomorrow, I’m heading out early to camp at Lake Livingston. The State Park has tons of bike trails, so I plan on wrestling with my bike in what, to witnesses, will look like a constant and frantic struggle to keep from face planting. The best part is that we got a little…
Forgiveness, Part One
I had such a great session with Erik and Kim this morning. Someone sent me an article about an alien by the name of “Mogay” who is stranded here on Earth, seeking the help of the investigators at MUFON, the Mutual UFO Network. I can’t wait to share it with you. Kim also trance channeled…
Best of Erik: To Forgive is Divine (and Hard)
Well we got home in one piece last night and found our home still standing. Soggy, but standing. Early this morning we had more storms, and I can’t imagine where that water is going to go. We didn’t have much damage. Our outdoor umbrella got whacked, but it’s a cheap one from Costco. My heart…
I Got my Connections, Baby
Today is kind of a busy day. No, a really busy day. I don’t know how I’m going to finish! Plus, my vision is a little blurry this morning, so that makes everything a bit slower. That said, I’m not going to start with a big fanfare, and please excuse the lack of editing. Even though…
What to do when you Suffer
As promised, here’s a longer post. It’s about how to handle suffering, advice from a young man whose constant companion was the pain that comes from it. From both his life and the insight he gained as a spirit guide, he’s well qualified to give us the guidance we need–probably all of us! And with that…
More on Forgiveness
I need to say a few more words in response to the comments on my last post. I love you guys. You engage with and support me and each other, and that’s the important thing. This is a cozy little community traveling a very exciting road. I agree that people who need to be here…
Forgiveness, 101
As I type, I glance up at the beautiful urn in the room filled with the ashes of my father, my mother and my sister. I can’t imagine now not believing in consciousness survival and the afterlife because how can one digest the fact that a person whose life was full of joy and pain,…
Ask Erik: Hyla
My father died at 5:00 AM this Saturday peacefully in his sleep. For the last month, he has had excruciating pain in his back, so horrible that he’d scream at the top of his lungs and clench his fists until his knuckles were white. This is despite the fact that he’s the most stoic person I’ve…
Human Experience: The Basics, Part One
Yay, this is the last of the accidentally published posts! Before you read on though, I have some announcements. First, no one guessed Erik’s first set of wheels! 🙁 It’s a baby walker! (although the baby in the photo is not him.) I’d also like to announce that sweet, sweet blog member, Amy Cofeltt,…
The Best of Erik: Love and Joy
Me: Can you talk about the importance of forgiveness and the best way to forgive? I love that blog members ask these thought provoking questions. They have the courage to dig in really deep. Erik: The best way to forgive. Jamie: Erik’s giving a visual along with what he’s saying. Erik: The best way to…
Can I Get an Amen?
It looks like a lot of people are signing up for the San Diego Event! I’m so excited to meet you guys and put a face to all of these names! This is such a well-timed pick-me-up for the week as Erik’s birthday approaches Friday. He would have been (or will be?) 23 on that…
Ted Bundy’s Victims, Part Two
Before we embark on the eye-opening journey through the words of Bundy’s collective, I’d like to ask you a small favor. As a surprise for Jamie, I’d like those of you who can to write a little something about what she means to you. After all, she has given our Erik a voice, and for…
Ted Bundy’s Victims, Part One
I hope you find this interview as powerful as I did, because it addresses a subject that you and me struggle with daily: forgiveness. A woman, one of Bundy’s victims, graciously agrees to speak for the rest of his victims, bestowing many invaluable pearls of wisdom. Me: I thought it’d be interesting to interview one…
Recover from Your Past, Revisited
Cindy: Erik, I was drawn to a past blog about how to forgive yourself for perceived mistakes or past transgressions. I appreciated your guidance. Is there any additional guidance you have to share about forgiving yourself and moving on vs. constantly reliving mistakes from one’s past? Kent: He said that’s a great question in that…
Love or Fear: Which Will You Choose
Before we start, I would like to share the fact that around 4:00 AM, I woke up to smell a freshly lit cigarette. No one in my family smokes, but Erik used to LOVE it. In fact, he would sometime roll his own to save money. As a doctor, I would plead with him to…
How to Forgive and Love Yourself
Yesterday, Endre and I talked on the phone about the public channeling session in Los Angeles, and he made a remarkable observation: Jamie had her eyes closed the entire time, yet she (as Erik) didn’t bump into anyone as he chased Arleen, as he paced around the room, as he pointed out people in various…
Love and Joy
I’ve been super busy today, plus the channeling event is this evening, so forgive any typos and grammatical errors. I transcribed this at warp speed! Please let me know about any glaring mistakes, though! Channeling Transcript Me: Can you talk about the importance of forgiveness and the best way to forgive? I love that blog…
All About Love
Channeling Transcript Me: Here’s a great question. What exactly is “Love,” and how can we truly love others as well as we love ourselves? Is Love some kinds of energy? To me it’s like an energy field, like a nice warm blanket of wonderful energy of the highest possible vibration. Erik: True, you can say…
How to Recover from Your Past and Skeptics
If you’re like me, you probably have made decisions that, upon reflection, make you cringe. How could I have been so naive? So petty? So clueless? So thoughtless? So lazy? So hurtful? So selfish? So irresponsible? Boy, my past is littered with some real stupid choices in my childhood, my adolescence, my young adulthood, and…
