Me: Now, the actual death process and your transition into the afterlife. Can you tell me a little about that? Steve: Quite amazing! Quite amazing! (Jamie giggles at his Steve Irwin-ness.) Me: Oh, I can just hear him talking like that! Steve: It was like—could you put everything you love in one box? That how…
Channeling Steve Irwin, Part One
Me: Let’s interview Steve Irwin! I always loved that man! So full of life! Jamie: Steve Irwin. Who’s Steve Irwin? I know that name. Me: That’s the Crocodile Man or something. Jamie (to Erik): Okay, yeah. You can go get him. We have enough time? Erik: Yeah, because he talks fast. Me: Oh god, that’s…
Channeling Karen Carpenter, Part Three
Enjoy the last installment, and have a wonderful weekend, y’all! Me: Do you have any regrets other than not completing the lesson?

Channeling Karen Carpenter, Part Two
In this part of the interview, Karen’s bubbly personality shines. Me: So what thoughts did you have when you realized you had crossed over? Karen: Oh, I was mostly just surprised! I felt surprise and joy. Me: Do you think it was your destiny to die when and how you did? Karen: Oh, yes. I…
Channeling Karen Carpenter, Part One
I always loved Karen’s silky smooth voice that seemed to flow from her so effortlessly. When she passed away, I was stunned. When I discovered the cause of her death, it saddened me so. But now she’s home and incredibly happy as you will see: Me: Erik, you haven’t picked anybody for a while. Who would…
The Dalai Lama on Science and Spirituality
First of all, I want to thank everyone for their warm wishes and flattering comments for my daughter, Kristina and her new husband, Houston Braly.

Channeling Quentin Crisp, Part Two
As you will soon see, I had more fun interviewing Quentin Crisp than jut about any other celebrity. George Carlin was a close second though. Me: And did you gather a lot of insight as you wrote? Quentin: I did! I did! And it was very insightful, though it was never a philosophy or psych…
Channeling Quentin Crisp, Part One
Although the name sounded familiar, I never really knew much about Mr. Crisp. Now that I’ve interviewed him, I feel like I missed out over the years, because he truly is a sweet man and a insightful philosopher. When he showed up at the Jesus interview sitting as a quiet observer on the couch, I…
Channeling Amy Winehouse, Part Four
First of all, I’d like to announce some very exciting news. Some of you might call it bittersweet, because our dear Erik will be taking a well deserved rest–more like a sabbatical really. But he has managed to come up with a more than worthy guest blogger in Jesus who will start Monday, so I…
Channeling Amy Winehouse, Part Three
Me: Okay, so let’s go on. So, you probably haven’t created a life’s work yet since you only recently crossed over. I guess eventually you’ll get a line of work. Amy (laughing hard): Do I have to? Me: No, you don’t have to! Jamie (laughing): That’s great! Me: What insights did you gain once you…

Channeling Amy Winehouse, Part One
I had a great session with Jamie and Erik today. This was the first time I’ve every seen Jamie bust Erik though. He got banished to the couch because he and Bob Hope were goofing around so much that we couldn’t get started with the interview. Jamie got super irritated. Of course Erik was the…
Channeling Whitney Houston, Part Two
Transcribing this session it struck me that Whitney was a bit taciturn. I’m not sure if she’s naturally that was or if she’s just adjusting to her new environment. Me: What insights did you gain when you crossed over? Jamie: She’s talking about Jesus being a real person. Me: Um hm. So you’ve met him?…
Channeling Whitney Houston, Part One
I know you all have been waiting for this one! Sorry it gets off to a slow start. Maybe Erik had trouble finding her. Me: I guess we can go on to the celebrities, Erik. Jamie (laughing): He saying he wants to do good-looking people again. Me: Yeah, well, you want to see it Whitney…

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Now, enjoy the fourth and final part of Leonardo’s interview! Me: I see. Can you tell me what sort of things you like to do in your afterlife? Leonardo: Throughout all of my lives, I will remain the inventor. Me: Are you a muse to different inventors…
Channeling Leonardo da Vinci, Part Three
Enjoy the next to the last segment of Leo! Me: What were you here to learn?

Channeling Leonardo da Vinci, Part Two
Leonardo: What is it you wish to know? Me: Reflecting on your life, do you think you accomplished what you came here to do? If so, what was that mission? Leonardo: I was very happy with my life. (Pause) Jamie (to Leonardo): Can you say that again, please? Leonardo: I’m mostly happy with how I…
Channeling Leonardo da Vinci, Part One
By popular demand, I’ve decided to post one celebrity entry a week. Of course post on Mr. da Vinci is only part one, so you’ll have to wait with baited breath for the rest of the series. Mua ha ha! I’m evil, aren’t I? I found Leonardo to be a fascinating interview. I hope you…
Channeling Marilyn Monroe, Part Four
Me: Okay. Can you share a past life that most affected your last one, Marilyn? Marilyn: Oh, that’s so interesting! Me: I get that a lot! (Pause) Jamie (to Marilyn): Right, right. So, that would be a different category. Jamie (laughing): She was going back to the one as Norma Jean, and Erik was like,…
Channeling Marilyn Monroe, Part Three
Me: Oh, good! So your afterlife, what does it look like? Marilyn: I enjoy my house— Me: On the earthly plane— Marilyn: Yes. Me: Or an exact duplication of the house you had? Marilyn: On the earthly plane. Me: Okay. What were you here to learn and teach. I know you talked a little about…
Channeling Marilyn Monroe, Part Two
Me: Ah. Was your actual transition peaceful? What was death like for you? Can you describe your thoughts and surroundings during the process of crossing over? Jamie (giggling): She’s so cute. She kind of throws her head back and lowers a shoulder a little bit; you can tell she’s going through memories. Marilyn: My first…
Channeling Marilyn Monroe, Part One
Me: Okay, Erik. Can you get Marilyn Monroe, Jim Morrison or Judy Garland? Jamie: He’d going to get one of the ladies. (Pause) Jamie: Hi! This is Marilyn Monroe. Me: Oh, Hello, Ms. Monroe!

Me: What were you here to teach? Audrey: Strength. I could really sum it up to that one word. Me: The strength of the individual to change the world? Audrey: Yes, especially a woman. Me: Yes, good. And you had so much strength. (Pause) Me: Can you tell us about a past life that most…
