Of course, when even the most nefarious characters cross over and lose their humanness, their perspective does a 180. From this interview, you will learn a great deal about the origins of the hatred some Middle East countries have for the West and a lot more. Denise Ramon did such a wonderful job channeling so…
More on God and Religion
Here’s a three-part series on God and religion. Me: What does God look like and how was He or She created? I think we’ve asked this before, but a blog member wants to know or maybe just needs clarification. Erik: What does God look like? God is energy and can present itself to you anyway…
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….
Best of Erik: Jesus and Religion
This morning, as is the case every morning, I was thinking about Erik, and I remember a few of the cute things he said when he was around 5-6 years old. In one instance, his father (Pappa) was looking over a map of the U.S., and he point to a spot and tells Erik: “This is…
Are Religions Outdated?
Thanks so much for everyone’s feedback concerning the celebrity interviews. I do want to clarify that most of the criticism I’ve received has been constructive, not cruel. (Although sometimes, I get that, too. Anyone who has a blog has to deal with rude comments. It comes with the territory, unfortunately.) I think what I’ll do…
Life is a Paddleball Game
For those of you who weren’t able to listen to the radio show yesterday, it was amazing. Erik was in fine form, the callers asked wonderful questions and Jamie, as always, was her usual gifted self, a wide open, filter free channel. No worries, though, because when the hosts have the mp3 file available, I’ll…
Channeling Gautama Buddha, Grand Finale
A couple of housekeeping issues: Jamie still has some openings for the Channeling Erik event in San Diego November 9th, 10th and 11th. There’s a chance that a documentary film maker will be there filming an interview with the group, so that adds to the excitement. If you’re on the fence, take the leap. Give…
Channeling Gautama Buddha, Part Six
Again, I want to thank you all for your love and support. It means so much to me and reminds me of just how important it is to have this family. We’re so special, aren’t we? We’re there for each other, no matter what. And you know I’m always there for you guys through thick…
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…
Channeling Gautama Buddha, Part Four
We’re not finished with Buddha by a long shot, peeps. He’s just so chock-full of such awe-inspiring wisdom. I can’t tell you how deeply even I, on the other side of the computer screen video Skyping, felt his enormous energy coming through. When Jamie allows me to make public the interview YouTube, I think you’ll…
Channeling Gautama Buddha, Part Three
I have a couple of reminders before Buddha steps up to the mike! For those of you wishing to be a part of the grieving parents group, it’s definitely in the works. Jamie has been in California giving classes so it looks like it’ll be scheduled sometime in October. There’s a chance it’ll be mid-November,…
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…
Channeling Gautama Buddha, Part One
I can’t tell you how excited I’ve been to share this interview with all of you. Of course words don’t do it justice, and eventually we’ll be able to make the YouTube of the interview public, but until then, I hope you enjoy. First, I want to share a story about my grand daughter, Arleen….
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…
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…
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,…
Borderline Personality Disorder, The Soapbox Version
A couple of days ago, I posted about borderline personality and one of the blog members wanted to know more about a possible cure for the disorder. Erik had a lot to say on the matter, most of it ranting on a soapbox digressing in all sorts of directions. ADHD still persists in the spirit…
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…
