There are many reasons we delve into spirituality to seek answers that lie beyond our five senses. Some do so because of a loss. Some because of financial struggles. Some because of other life struggles, but there are some of us who feel a longing that is hard to describe and feel like they don’t…
Transcript of Heaven and Crossing Over
I stumbled on this awesome book called The Real Us: We’re Not Crazy by Thea(Dotty) Scalco, and in it you’ll discover people from the CE community. A little bit about Thea: Ms. Scalco has spent the last 20 years researching natural health solutions. Her natural health journey began with her son’s autism diagnosis, she had…
Erik on Heaven and Crossing Over
My son-in-law had to leave town for orientation for his new job and, since Michelle works the night shift as an ER nurse, I’ve been taking care of Arleen and Easton. Arleen pretty much takes care of herself, but Easton is a perpetual motion machine, pressing every button, opening up every drawer and cabinet, sometimes…
All About Heaven
I hope you all had a wonderful Easter. Rune and I went to a KOA camp by Lake Livingston. Not the nicest campsite I’ve seen, but it has some amenities that Arleen and Easton would love, like this incredibly elaborate splash pad that rivals those of big amusement parks. We’ll definitely take them this summer….

A Little Slice of Heaven, Part Two
Sadly, I have nothing intelligent to say, so let’s just go to Part Two of this series! Me: So tell us what it looks like over there in Heaven. Erik (in a girlie voice): Pretty. Me: I know you describe it a lot in the book. Erik: Pretty. Me (leaning forward, almost touching the computer…
A Little Slice of Heaven, Part One
Check out this funky, catchy song by blog member, Kryston Jones. I’m asking her if it can be one of the songs in consideration for the intro and outro of our radio show. What do you think, guys? Now enjoy this three-part series on Heaven! It’s short, but sweet. Me: Good morning. Jamie: Good morning….
Is Heaven a Snoozer or a Trip?
When Erik describes Heaven, I react differently depending on the state of affairs in my life. If the shit’s hitting the fan, I’m like, “Sign me up. Let’s get a first class ticket for Mama E!” But when I’m loving life as I have recently, I’m more hesitant. The thought of having no contrast sounds, well,…
The Best of Erik: Life in Heaven
It’s been a while since I channeled Erik through psychic medium, Kim O’Neill, so I had collected several questions over that period of time. Naturally, I missed him deeply, so my first words were: ‘Erik, hi Sweetie, I love you.’ Kim giggles and mimics Erik as though he’s rolling his eyes at my sappiness, which…
A Perspective Skeptics Should Consider
I know I don’t often post on the weekends, but my sister, Teri, emailed me this story that I found so intriguing, I couldn’t resist. I think every skeptic, including atheists, should read it. It’s all about perspective, people! ~Preparing to Be Born~ In a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked the other: “Do…
Gays in Heaven
I love this one. It highlights how beautifully divine it is to not judge others. Me: Erik, how are suicides, gays and celebrities treated over there? Erik: Not like suicides, gays and celebrities. How’s that for your answer? Jamie giggles. Me: Well, let’s start with gays. The Christians usually think the gays are going to…
Work in the Afterlife
Me: Okay. Tell me about some of the work you do there, you, specifically, but others too. Erik: Hi-ho, bitches; I don’t go to work. Me: You’re so lucky! Erik: I have a purpose and I have a passion, but I definitely don’t go to work. Me: No nine to five, then? Erik: No, and…
The Afterlife, Part Four
Me: Are there always people there who create the music—that can play these instruments? Is that the music you’re talking about that’s played in the arena, for example—and orchestra of spirits that play? Erik: Oh, that’s like people on Earth being able to play music, you know, bands, orchestras, all kind of flavors of music:…
The Afterlife, Part Three
Me: In the afterlife, tell me some of the things you have. Are there malls? Are there restaurants? Are there theaters? Tell about some of the structures and establishments you have there besides the ones you talked about like that glass building. Erik: Wow, you’re really into this, huh? Me: I’m telling ya, man! (Pause)…
Erik on the Afterlife, Part Two
Me: Does it feel real over there? Erik: Does it feel real? Jamie: He’s thinking. Erik: I could ask you the same damn question! Does it feel real over there? Me: Yes! (Sometimes too real!) Erik: It feels real here, you know, even though you can’t reach down and smack your arm or pinch yourself….
The Afterlife, Part One
Me: Erik, guess what we’re going to talk about today? Jamie (giggling and mimicking Erik stroke his chin like a professor in deep thought): Uh, the afterlife? I detect a “Dur” in that. Me (excitedly): Yes! Oh my gosh. How did you guess that? Of course you know these things. Uh. Erik? Erik: Yes. Me:…
Is the Afterlife a Snore? (and Other Stuff)
Me: One blog member wants to know if the afterlife is boring. Erik: No! Me: You don’t have any struggles or anything like that, so… At least not in the way that we do. That’s why I think he’s wondering if it’s boring or not. No drama, Mama. Erik: It’s just that you’re thinking about…
Erik Describes His Own Death, Part Five
Me: At what point did you ask for help? When did you finally say, “I need help”? Erik: When I wanted to get back to my family and I didn’t know how. Me: Aw. Did you miss us? Erik: Yeah! Me: So, who appeared. Jamie: This was a female guide. Not his aunt. This was…
Ego in Heaven?
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…
How Food Tastes in the Afterlife
Yesterday was an exciting day at the Medhus household. My sister, Laura, was all alone in my house watching television when she heard someone jiggling a key to open the front door. She figured it was just one of my kids coming in to do their wash. Then she heard footsteps, but not the usual,…
Channeling Gautama Buddha, Part Five
Blog member, Amber, brought to my attention that the “Browse the Archives” button wasn’t working! I checked my plugins and found that and other ones were deactivated for some reason. These included the comment and socializer buttons. So, newbies, you can search the archives two ways: Use the “Browse the Archives” button or the “Start…
Can You Really Be a Pompous Ass in Heaven, Too?
Before we begin this typical Erik topic, I’d like to make a few announcements: 1) I’m very excited about the response to the San Diego event. If anyone has any questions, please ask them in the comment thread or email me at emedhus@gmail.com. I know one reader asked about bringing children along. I’m not sure…
Told You So, You Little Motherf&%$ker!
OMG, the Buddha interview was AWESOME!! I can’t wait to share it, but Jamie feels more comfortable making all of these religious figure interview YouTube videos public when we have four faiths covered. Unfortunately, given the recent violence in the Middle East, Muhammed will not be one such religious figure, so we were thinking about…
Heaven’s Dollar Menu
Paul was so very touched by all of your heartfelt comments from yesterday’s post. He did want to say that the link I provided for his artwork was not functioning, so I changed it in that entry. It’s http://growingintothemystery.net/2012/01/17/first-some-art-2/ As for the San Diego event, I want to thank everyone for their patience! Jamie’s assistant, Weedie,…
