The Gender Party was awesome. Everyone had such a good time, and I felt so powerful being the only one who knew the baby’s sex ahead of time. I kept offering the information at $1000 a pop but had no takers. The results: IT’S A BOY!!! I’ll try to post the video of the party soon.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been very concerned about the recent terrorist activity, so I decided to ask Erik about it. One thing–and it’s a major thing–I forgot to ask is when and where there was going to be an attack on American soil. I’m going to ask him on the eBoard tomorrow. Until then, let’s see what Erik has to share. After the session, I felt a little irritated because I didn’t really agree with much that he said. I think it’s because the human perspective, driven by fear, is just so radically different from that of a spirit. My fear propels me to want to carpet bomb there asses, but Erik disagrees. I guess I’m unevolved. What do you think?
I have trouble with my camera not working on our Skype call.
Me: Guys, I’m having trouble getting my camera to work. I didn’t have to put on makeup today? Aw!
Jamie laughs.
Me: Not good.
Jamie: Not only is Skype messing with you, but FaceTime is, too.
Me: I know. I don’t know what the deal is. I don’t know what to do. Maybe I need to restart my computer. Hi, Erik! Hi, everyone!
Erik: Hi, Mom!
Me: Hi, Jamie.
Jamie: He wants everybody to know that Elisa, his mom, asked, “How do I find me?” when she was looking for her video.
That was when I couldn’t see myself on the FaceTime attempt.
Erik: God, that should be one of the number one questions we should ask ourselves, not just when our video doesn’t work on Skype.
Me: That’s true. We could have a whole session on that. Okay, we’re going to talk about this whole Isis terrorist thing. What’s going on, Erik, from the spiritual aspect or any aspect? Give us some insight from the spirit’s perspective.
Erik: When we look down, we see a lot of human conflict. That’s what we see. It’s not so much wrapped up in spiritual contracts, you know, it’s a spiritual contract within human conflict. I want to show that difference in that it’s not so much that one person wanted to feel like a victim or one person wanted to be part of the death toll to create awareness within their family and their community. It wasn’t a sacrifice thing. It’s playing to the contract of human conflict because what Earth really needs right now is resolution, learning how to communicate.
Me: Right.
Erik: It’s not about pacifying everybody—
Jamie (laughing): So early to cuss.
Erik: It’s not about pacifying everybody’s fucking emotions, but it is about understanding what they are and honoring them. The people who are causing this conflict to arise don’t want to go that route, so they’re going to make a big splash like they did in Paris.
Me: Well, I don’t know how we can communicate with them because they won’t listen to reason. They’re bent on even subjecting their own lives to peril or dying. They’re bent on eradicating the Western civilization. How do you talk to people like that?
(Pause)
Jamie: Did you just hear me gasp? I was trying to keep it in. Erik is trying to find a way to politely disarm people just for a second.
Erik: Just for a second, if you could just set aside judgments or opinions—
Me: Uh oh. Hold on, people!
Erik: –because I really want to compliment how they view death. It’s quite different. Mom, you were just saying that they’re ready to make a sacrifice or that they’ll come in on suicide mission because of the belief that they have in their cause. Stepping into death is an acceptable decision for them.
Me: Right.
Erik: I’m not talking about the “why.” I’m talking about how they view death in those moments. There’s something to be said for it. There’s this belief that transition is easy. There’s a sense of awareness that death is the answer to their needs. I just think it’s pretty cool to think about in that context. I’ll throw that out there. I’ll set that on a side plate. You can fucking eat that shit later.
Me: I can see that.
Erik: There’s something there that we don’t necessarily have in our culture.
Me: Or maybe it’s different. Maybe it’s not that they see death differently but that they value life less.
Even their own.
(Long pause)
Erik: I’m listening. I’m listening, but getting into their heads and looking at who they are, the way that they’re taught is that death is a welcoming step.
Me: Oh, okay.
Erik: They’ll be praised through the process of their death.
Me: Right.
Erik: Of course it’s not for a cause that a lot of us are signing up for, you know, fuck that shit!
Me: Yeah!
Erik: But, the concept that death is welcoming—not wrapped up in the shit that they’re doing—how cool is that little understanding?
Me: Mm hm.
Erik: Okay, now what were you saying?
Jamie laughs. A forgetful spirit. Takes after his mom.
Me: So, I’m afraid, and I guess I’m not alone. I’m afraid about what’s happening. What can we do? First of all, should we, in America, be afraid? Will there be attacks on American soil?
Erik: There will be attacks in the future. Not right now.
Why oh why didn’t I ask when and where. Maybe I’ll ask on the eBoard.
Me: Do you think our country is doing everything they need to do? It just seems like we’re not doing much of anything. Eight drone strikes a day?
Erik: It’s easy to critique when we’re on the outside.
Me: I know.
Erik: A lot of what we are doing as a nation in this arena is quite undercover and not talked about.
Me: Okay.
Erik: And a lot of it is about collecting information. A lot of it cyberspace, satellite collection, and a lot of it is about getting the awareness of other countries. Look at the fucking shit we did in the past! “Oh, that country over there is fucking up and being bad. We need to help [the resistance] create an independent state so let’s give them weapons so they can fight their own war. We’re the good guys.” But then all of a sudden, the people we gave the weapons to fuck up and turn on us.
Me: I know.
Erik: That’s bullshit. The answer is not about giving weapons and military support in that way. It’s about giving support with communication, about creating clarity about what the true mission is and letting force be the absolute last resort.
I disagree. God, I must not be very spiritually evolved.
Erik: I’m not actually saying that our country is doing all that, but it is starting to have an awareness that getting out the fucking guns and shit isn’t working. Because we don’t see it on TV doesn’t mean that we’re holding back and not making it happen.
Jamie: Elisa, you said something before. What else did you say in your sentence?
That’s coming tomorrow!
By the way, peeps, a little reminder. If you love reading the CE daily posts and you’ve read Erik’s book, please be sure to write a review on Amazon, Goodreads and Barnes and Noble. Share your thoughts about it on your Facebook timeline, too!
Last, and this is pretty important: I’m accepting questions for the next Ask Erik column to be published in February. The first one will be up in January, and I’ll be sure to post the link when it’s available. I’ll accept questions until tonight at 6:00 PM CT, and because I get so many questions, I won’t have time to reply. My email address is emedhus@gmail.com. Ready, set, go!
