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…
Erik’s Spiritual Contract
[paypal-donations] Before going on the the main event, I want you guys to know that I might be changing from BlogTalk Radio to another livestream podcasting company called PodBean. I’ve just had too much trouble with the current platform. So, there’s always a chance that I will need to skip the next show to familiarity…
Inspiring Stories of Spiritual Awakening
It takes courage to embark on the journey toward spiritual awakening because it often involves an element of suffering. What’s more, it takes even greater courage to share that journey with others. On the radio show last night, 5 of those braves souls shared their stories live. Since I received so many stories, I wasn’t…
Why Do We Go Through Pain and Suffering?
Enjoy this thought-provoking guest post by Tammy De Mirza! This is a question that haunts all of humanity and it isn’t answered in the ways we like, but here is the simple truth about it. We come into this realm to experience pain and suffering, good and bad, right and wrong, basically the dichotomies of…
Erik on Surrender, Part Three
Congratulations to the winner of this past contest, Liana. She wrote, “You are related to Spanish royalty.” I don’t know about royalty, but I am a Spanish baroness since Charlemagne rewarded my family among the “12 gentlemen barons” for pushing the Moors out of Spain. We were all give a barony. Here’s the castle, which…
Erik on Surrender, Part Two
The results are in. The majority of you think that the lengths of the posts are just right. I figured they were too long, so I guess I’m just lazier than you guys! I hope everyone had a great July 4th. Annika came back from her trip to Destin, her last respite before starting medical…
Why Are We Here?
Listen to this latest YouTube at around 12:01 to hear Erik say, “Get high” after which Robert says, “Well, Erik says they get high!” Yet another EVP! Here’s another Best of Erik! I think it’s one of the most important of his posts. Looking back on my life, I see the wreckage of tragedy in…
The Joy of Suffering, Part Two
Well, sorry, guys, but I was shot down on making a vlog of my camping trip. Too many camera shy people. 🙁 We did have a great time, though. The weather wasn’t the best, but the company was. I think the highlight of the weekend was our sighting of big cat paw prints near a…
The Joy of Suffering, Part One
Guest host Patrick who did the recent channeling Illuminati 1.1, has a website with more. If you’re a fan of celebrity channelings, please visit The Amendment. You won’t be disappointed! Right now, I’m sitting my semi-retired butt in an RV headed for Castroville, TX for some camping.I have a mobile hotspot, which allows me to have…
Which Road Will You Take
I know I’ve plastered this all over Facebook, but I want to announce here that I found out Jamie isn’t accepting just 13 participants for the Channeling Erik Weekend of F-ing Enlightenment in Denver. (Why in the hell did I pick that number? I don’t know. Senile, I guess.) She’s accepting 30. Even though the event is…
Ego
Before we developed this environment we live in now, ego was something that provided that sense of separation and the urge to survival. It’s what was responsible for the fight or flight thing. Then we developed this whole atmosphere of “You’re wrong, and I’m right,” “I make more money than you do,” “I have a loftier career,” “I’m superior; you’re inferior.” It sucks. Now we’re on this runaway train and the ego is diddling with the controls going, “What the fuck do I do now?” Our egos have got us caught on the hamster wheel. Eat or be eaten. Be a winner, not a loser. Our egos also connect us to the past in a way that causes us pain. “Oh, poor me. I was molested as a kid.” You’re attached to the belief that you’re a victim. Well, guess what? You’re not being molested now, are you? If some of you still are, get out of that shit. Let it go. Look at the suffering as a page in a book and turn to the next one.
The Root of Suffering
I’m sorry that their was no post yesterday. I thought I’d take the holiday off. I hope you all took the time to feel thankful for the great Martin Luther King, Jr. He did so much for so many, and I look forward to interviewing him. Today’s post is about suffering. It’s very relevant given…
Struggle
In order to fully grasp and get the most out of our human experience, it’s essential to understand the anatomy of our struggles and of suffering in general. Throughout this book, Erik has helped me understand what I struggle with the most, why I do and what it takes to overcome it. I also came…
It’s All About Perspective
In the beginning of this channeling session, I asked about the hardships one of our family friends had to endure during much of her youth. For obvious reasons, I’ve changed her name to protect her privacy. But I share this with you, because many of us struggle with adversity at some time in our lives,…
Human Suffering: A Guide’s Perspective
A Channeling Erik family member who is also a client of Eclectic Horizons asked the following questions of Erik through psychic medium Kent Lehman. Click here to read the first part of this session. Client: Ok, so is it difficult for our guides to watch human suffering? Kent: He said to remember that the way…
The Gift of Human Struggles
I’m reposting this because my blog crashed, and I had to restore it from a backup on the server. Unfortunately, the backup was created before I posted this. Sorry! Many of us have had a life filled with hardships and tragedies. I look back on mine and see a path littered with potholes, some the…
Best of Erik: A Break From Being Human
This repost is about respite. A break from the grief of losing someone we love. A break from being mired in daily struggle. A break from being human. This is the first time Erik spoke to me without the need of a question prompt. He spoke with solemn passion. How timely. Erik: You know, Mom,…
Why Are We Here?, Part Two
One of you guys very astutely brought to my attention that I typed, “What” instead of “Why” in yesterday’s title. Oops. My mind isn’t what it used to be! Also, I have a brief announcement: I’m going to be out of town on a cruise (yay) from this Sunday until the following Saturday, so unless…
Knowing What He Knows Now
We have a winter storm warning here in Houston. Unbelievable. I can only imagine what you Northerners are going through! Bundle up people! It’s a great time to sit in a cozy chair, wrap yourself in a blanket, drink a mug of hot cocoa and read through the archives! Me: If you were to be…
Best of Erik: For Those Who Struggle
Me: Okay, let’s ask some questions that are hopefully going to help our listeners. What advice do you have for those who are struggling? Jamie: Erik’s sits off to my right. Erik: What kind of struggle are we talking about? Me (laughing): Well, I thought you’d be able to help me with that one! They…

Channeling Mother Teresa, Part Three
Enjoy more of our altruistic live wire! Me: Okay. What do you think about your critics, specifically Aroup Chatterjie who felt you promoted a negative image of Calcutta, and he also claimed you were not a significant entity in Calcutta in your lifetime. He felt you misused funds and privileges at your disposal. Is that…
A River Runs Through It
Me: Okay, here’s a long one from a reader. Let me see if I can encapsulate it. “One thing that I’ve yet to understand through this now is the time we look inside for everything, into the heart, as externally is where the things we cannot control are. So, if our focus is internally, in…
Channeling Gautama Buddha, Part Two
No need to make you suffer. Let’s jump right in! Me: Okay. Now, then you sat under a tree, and you vowed to sit under it until you found The Truth. And after 39 days of mediation at the age of 35 you said that you were enlightened and declared that there are Four Noble…
Tapeworms and Fire Ants
(Bugle horn sounding). I need you guys. A publisher is considering the manuscript for the Channeling Erik book. If this happens, it gives it more of a chance of raising the eyebrows of a film maker. A well known documentary film maker has already stumbled across the blog and contacted me saying he’s interested in…
