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…
Interview with God, Part Two
Ready for another jaw-dropping interview with the Man/Woman His/Her-self? GOD? But wait, I have some things to share first. I’m so excited that Lauren Laundis is coming to stay at my house. She was one of the attendees at the October Channeling Erik event, and she and our family connected strongly. Of course there were…
Interview with God,Part One
I had so much to ask God that it took two full hours, every bit of it absolutely fascinating. But before we go on to that (sorry to cut in front of you, God,) I have some other announcements. Yesterday, I had a session with Sri Swami about Christopher Columbus, and the information I received…
Erik on Religion
First I want to apologize about the radio show last night. The producer and I got confused on time zones and it was an hour earlier than I thought. No worries. There are plenty of shows in our future. Second, my good friend, Robert, shared this comment he read on the Sexual Harassment YouTube, and…
Erik on God, Part Three
Oh my god, peeps, I’ve been having a puppy party every day! My daughter, Kristina, has been bringing her two dogs over since they’re painting the cabinets in their new house and the fumes are pretty strong. Every time I take them outside to pee, it looks like a freaking clown car let out! Here…
Erik on Surrender
I hope you all had a great weekend. I did, except for the fact that poor little Arleen came back with a horrible sunburn. She can’t even wear clothes, and I’ve been dousing her in aloe vera 24/7. Do you remember your first serious sunburn when you couldn’t even get under the sheets? Poor baby. …
Spiritual Amnesia and Outdated Religion
Still feeling like crap, but good enough to meet family down south in Port O’Connor. I couldn’t leave without posting something, though, since I’m going to a place with NO Internet. That’s going to take some getting used to, but it might be good to get off the grid for a while. If you missed…

Religion Meets Spirituality
Good news! It looks like we will have a CE event September 23-24 in Oahu, HI! Kim thinks she can find an inexpensive but nice venue. Here’s her email to me. Sign up while there is still space! Hello there! A few people have reached out to me from Hawaii, blog members, looking for connections…
Atheists and Bible Thumpers
Me: Okay, now a have a couple of questions here, uh, this is one I already know the answer to, but I guess I’d like it to be phrased for the book. Is there a hell, and what happens to very religious people when they pass? Erik (teasingly): “Very” religious people, Mom? Me (laughing): Yes….
Hell, no!, Part One

Click below to enter. a Rafflecopter giveaway Another is through a contest. Whoever is the first to answer this question first wins. How old was Erik when…
Erik’s Thoughts on Organized Religion
At the beginning of my Erik Journey I started watching the you tube videos. I started with the Robin Williams interview and I was HOOKED – I had watched Martin Luther King, Jesus, Budah, JFK and I hadn’t read the blog quite yet. A friend of mine who has had a rough go of it…
Oneness, Jesus and Paddleballs
I had to laugh thinking about this title. Erik covers all of these in this post, but it’s weird to see “Jesus” and “Paddleball” in the same phrase. Is it sacrilegious? More important, does Jesus play paddleball? You be the judge. All I know is that my hand-eye coordination sucks so bad that I’m not going…
Spiritual Amnesia
Throughout the course of this blog, I’ve received some criticism over the celebrity interviews, even though their intent was to glean spiritual lessons from these spirits. I feel that I soul is a soul whether they’re a prostitute, an actress, a carpenter, a composer, a religious icon, or a pop culture celebrity, and we can…
Channeling James Dean, Part Two
Enjoy part two of our interview with Mister Cool, himself. Me: So you shared some of your thoughts during your transition. Can you describe your surroundings upon crossing? Wait, actually, when you were standing over your body, you may not have realized you had crossed over. Can you tell me your thoughts when you realized…
Channeling George Harrison, Part One
I thought I’d give Erik a break and post a celebrity interview this week. How about one of the Beatles, George Harrison? Many considered him invisible, almost expendable. This interview, in its entirety, will prove them wrong. Me: Erik, let’s go with George Harrison? Jamie: George Harrison? Who’s that? Me: The Beatles guy! Where have you…
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…
Channeling Moses, Part Three
Here, Moses discusses his thoughts first about miracles, then about Judaism and other religions. Fascinating stuff. Tomorrow it’s all about the Middle East conflict. You don’t want to midst that one. Me: Why don’t we see these miracles any more? Jamie: What he was explaining is that centuries ago, when there were fewer human beings,…
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…
Dealing with Religious Peeps
All of us have crossed roads. Okay, hit roadblocks, no, brick walls from time to time: religious friends and family members whose eyes either glaze over, widen with fear, or narrow in scorn whenever we talk about our spiritual beliefs. Well, Erik has some, ahem, advice for us for the next time we stumble on…
Channeling Christa McAuliffe, Part One
I’m sure you all remember the shuttle Challenger tragedy. In fact, most of us remember exactly where we were and what we were doing at the time, kind of like when J.F.K. and Michael Jackson died. I’ll never forget that news clip of Christa and her comrades in their orange suits waving for the cameras…
Organized Religion in 2012 and Beyond
Many of you who have been raised in a particular faith such as Judaism, Christianity, Islam, etc. really grapple with the conflict of how to remain true to that faith and still embrace concepts of spirituality: the absence of Hell, past lives and reincarnation, perspectives on suicide and much, much more. Here, Erik tries to…
Channeling George Carlin, Part Three
I thought you all would love this email from our lovely long term blog member, Tracy. After she saw the painting Eric Grbich did of my Erik, she commissioned him to paint one of her own son, Adam. The finished masterpiece was no less stunning. If anyone would like his email address, let me know….
