I have a couple of announcements today. First, don’t forget about Erik’s Hour of Enlightenment radio show TONIGHT at 5:00 PM PT/7:00 PM CT/8:00 PM ET. No more than 15 minutes before the top of the hour, call 619-639-4606 to ask Erik your question. Two ways to listen: Click on the “Listen” icon on the right sidebar of the blog or click HERE. You will have to sign up if you haven’t already. 

Announcement #2: We’re getting close to the Channeling Erik weekend in Denver coming in June. Please don’t miss on this life-changing experience. You’ll learn so much from our boy, plus who could resist a hug from him while he’s hanging out in Kim’s body? He’s also been known to sit in a lap or two. After the day’s activities, I love hanging out with you guys by the hot tub or a fireplace, sipping a glass of wine and sharing stories. I always become so close with those who attend and have many new lifelong friends because of it. Sign up before the seats are gone. All you have to do is click HERE.

Since it’s Thursday, this is a “Best of Erik” post, but don’t worry because I’ll post the last half of the David Bowie interview tomorrow!

Me: What about vaccines, Erik? A lot of people are concerned about whether they might be linked to autism, diabetes, autoimmune disease, etc.

Erik: It’s not the vaccine so much. It’s the amount of vaccines, the number and the volume that you put into a little body all at once. These react with each other. You can only put so much into a human body without it reacting badly. So vaccines can be good—certain ones, anyway. You can see that, Mom. Look over the years how many people died before vaccines came about.

Me: Sure, like polio, for example.

Erik: Yeah, that’s right. But too many are given now all at once, especially to children.

Me: Okay, I understand. That makes perfect sense, Erik. Here’s a couple more questions before we close out the session. First, why have we seen such an increase in bipolar disorder and ADHD?

Erik: It’s the environment and the food that people are eating. Just look at other countries, especially the countries where people eat more healthy, natural foods.

Me: Okay.

Erik: In those countries, you don’t have as much bipolar disease, ADHD, or depression, for example. Eating processed food, breathing air that’s polluted and water—water is a huge culprit, Mom—water that’s not been cleaned properly.

Me: I have a feeling that our industrialized diet being so deficient in omega-3 fatty acid plays a role, since it’s such a huge percentage by mass of our nervous system.

Jeannie: This is the angel talking again.

Me: Oh, okay.

Angel: Thank you for that. That’s the truth. That plays a big part.

Me: Well, Erik, I tried from the time you were, oh, I don’t know, maybe 10 years old to get you and the other kids to take omega-3 supplements, but you found all sorts of ways to avoid it.

Erik: Yeah, I didn’t think they could be that important.

(Pause)

Erik (laughing): Plus you’re my mom, so what could you know?

I laugh hard, understanding full well that the IQs of both my husband and me dropped precipitously when our children became teenagers. I can’t count the number of times they’d ask me to take them to a “real doctor” even though I graduated cum laude from Rice University and completed medical school in three rather than four years with High Honors. They all knew my many flaws, so all bets were off as far as my competency was concerned.

Me: Well, Erik, years later, when our washer and dryer broke down and we had to take them out to put new ones in, I must have found a thousand of those omega-3 pills!

Erik: Yeah, we threw ‘em back there. They were nasty, Mom.

I giggle.

Me: I’m such a mean mom. Now, let’s see if we can squeeze in one more question, Baby. Why are people addicts? Why do they become addicted to drugs, alcohol and other things? Is it because they seek out something spiritual or what?

Jeannie: This is Erik talking now.

Erik: I know the answer to that! It’s a seeking of something that’s missing in their lives, usually a result of sadness—kind of wanting to disassociate themselves. It’s painful. Life is painful at times.

Me: So it’s a matter of wanting to escape, basically.

Erik: Yeah. Yeah.

Me: Well, a lot of people have pain in their lives and don’t become addicts. Why do some choose to escape through an addiction? Again, is this because these people are more comfortable in the spirit and feel they want that connection to spirit again?

Erik: It’s a belief system on the cellular level. Hard to understand, but again, things come in from each lifetime—people bring something in. They hold something inside themselves—a remembrance, a connection to spirit.

Me: That’s great Erik. You explain things so well, Sweetie. I wish we had more time to get more details on this, but next session we will. Now, I’d also like to say hello to my guardian angel. Veronica, I want to say that I think about you often, and I’m very grateful for everything you do to push me along my path. I guess sometimes you have to nudge me with an electric cattle prod, but…

Veronica: It brings me joy, such joy to work with you. You know, you have no idea how full of light you are. You spoke of lightworkers earlier. Well, that’s what you are!

Me: Aw!

Veronica: You bring light to everyone, everyone! Your son, who stands with us, affirms this. We all love you just as we all love him. You’ve done a good job, and so, I thank you.

Me (touched): Well, I should be the one saying thank you, Veronica. I love you. And Erik, I love you very much, Baby. Come visit more! Maybe when we go to Norway you’ll have saved up some energy and come to visit.

Erik: Since I can’t be there in the physical, Mom, I’m going to do everything I can to see you all. I love you all too. Tell everybody that. We’re going to see each other again, Mom. That’s for damn sure. I love you, and I can’t believe you’re writing a book about things that I’ve said!

Me: Well, you’ve done all the hard work, Erik! I’m just the transcriptionist. It’ll say, “By Erik Rune Medhus.” All the rest of us will just be little bylines.

Erik: Isn’t that so cool?

Me: Yes, very cool. You didn’t like to read books much when you were here, but here you are writing one—and on such an important subject! Amazing! Anyway, I love you dearly, Sweetie! Merry Christmas, Erik, and Merry Christmas to you too, Jeannie!

Jeannie: Ah, you too, and thank you so much. Take care of yourself.

Me: Yes ma’am, and you too. Thank you for everything. I’m very grateful to you. Couldn’t do it without you.

Jeannie (laughing): And I’m grateful to you, too; we all are. Talk to you soon!

Me: Yes ma’am, Goodbye!

Jeannie: Goodbye, now.

Enjoy my last video of the trip! Next time, I’m taking you all with me!
