Today, I’m taking care of my grand daughter, Arleen. I wasn’t expecting to, but Michelle’s babysitting plans fell through. That means I won’t be able to do as much of my usual work because I need that important time for playing Magical Forest, Doggie Fashion Show and other adventures and extravaganzas. Today is the beginning of the God series. I know this is also available as a YouTube, but if I don’t use YouTube transcriptions for posts, I run out of material for the blog! Some people prefer reading anyway.
Me: Hi Jamie.
Jamie: Hello.
Me: Have you had your coffee?
Jamie laughs and shows me the cup.
Me: We might have to sip it from time to time because we’re both exhausted. Erik, I want to say hi to you, too.
Erik: Hi Mom. I love you.
Me: I love you too. I’m going to talk about a really big topic with your and that’s GOD! Do you want to talk about God?
Erik makes an ominous “Dun, dun, DUN!” sound. It makes me laugh.
Me: Well everybody’s interested in this whether they’re religious or not, so let’s start out with, what is it? What is it?
(Pause)
Jamie: He’s actually going to sit down for this one.
Me: Not for long, I’m sure.
Jamie: Probably not.
Erik: If you want to ask the question about God, we basically should be asking, “What comes first, the chicken or the egg?”
Me: Well, what does?
Jamie smiles and mimics Erik shrugging his shoulders.
Erik: Let’s talk about it.
Me: Let’s do.
Isn’t that what we’re here for?
Erik: You’re talking about God, and can I make the assumption, dear Mother that you are defining God as like a dude who looks like a person? How should we approach this?
Me: Well I don’t think It’s a dude that looks like a person. You’re supposed to tell me these things. You’re not interviewing me. It’s the other way around.
Erik: I just want to be clear that when we’re asking the question that everyone understands what it is.
Me: Okay.
Erik: You’re just using the term in general maybe as the basis for people who are in a religion that they direct their faith and worship to. “God.”
Erik nods his head and widens his eyes as if to say, “How do you like that, huh?”
Jamie: I guess he’s waiting for you to respond. I don’t know. It really didn’t seem like a question.
Erik: Okay. God is the universal source of energy. It is where we all come from: all the races, all the personalities, all the love, all the hate, all of everything. It’s not some dude. In fact when you meet this original source of energy we’re all derivatives of—
Jamie stumbles on the word.
Jamie: Good word, Erik.
Me: Yeah, that’s a pretty good word [for a little goof.]
Erik: That energy will look like anything you want it to. It can look like Mother Earth. It can look like the dude on the throne. It can look like a big Buddha. It can look like whatever you need. The term, “God” is extremely loose. When you’re saying it and vibrationally receiving it, it’s all about the orignainl source of energy. The way that you can look at it is much like—
Jamie (laughing): I don’t know what you’re saying, Erik! I’m so sorry.
Erik: The way that you can look at it is a little like a neuron. It has kind of like a core, center of information, of stored energy and these light things, these little transmitters come off of it. And all of these transmitters, those are our lifelines. What we do with those [transmitters] is under our own control, our own free will, but it all feeds back and relates to this one prime source of energy.
Bella is trying to get up in my lap. The noise is so annoying that I pick her up.
Me: She’s making me lose my focus. Sorry for the interruption, God.
Erik: She’s so cute! No, and when we start talking about energy like this, God like this, prime source energy that is All There Is, then we start to wonder who gave birth to that or where did that come from? That’s the real question here, right?
Me: One of them.
(Pause)
Erik: And that’s going to stay a mystery.
Jamie (laughing): That’s not fair.
Me: Oh no! So you say it’s the original energy. How does that work if there’s no time?
You can tell Jamie is talking to Erik in her head.
Jamie: You’re asking the same thing that I’m going over in my head with him. I’ve never seen him—cuz he’s saying he’s using linear language to help us understand the conversation better.
Erik: When we talk about having a beginning and an ending or whether the chicken came first or the egg, then for us, we see it as a beginning.
(Pause)
Erik (to Jamie): No, no. That’s not what I’m trying to do.
Jamie: He’s trying to calm me down.
Erik: I’m trying to stoke the fire where you are.
Jamie listens for a long time leaning on her elbow with her chin in her hand.
Jamie: Ask him another question. I’m grilling him, but I think I’m just taking him in circles.
Me: Okay. Well, he does that, too, sometimes. Uh, is it a collective consciousness? Is that what God is?
Erik: That’s part of it. That’s not all of it.
Me: Okay. Well, you’ve said before that we are part and whole of God. Can you talk about that?
Erik: Yeah, we can look at it in the reverse. Anything that is being taken from this prime source of energy is God and, as we talked about energy before, if we’re dividing energy, even the piece that is coming away from it is a complete whole. It’s not seen as a portion of it. I know that hurts people’s heads because it’s important as a human to be able to measure something to understand it. Where’s it coming from? How does it look? What size is it? That lets us put it into a place in our head and say that we understand it.
Me: Mm hm.
Erik: That kind of logical thinking when we’re discussing God and energy and chicken before the egg doesn’t work. It doesn’t apply. We have to see it as, even if we’re considering a source and we’re a part of it, we come away from it, that this (he shows one hand) is an equal whole as this (he shows his other hand.) We are God, God is us. We are prime energy; prime energy is us. We are all made up of the same thing. We can access the same thing. It’s our free will, when we dive into a body, which allows us to choose definitions, perceptions, likes and dislikes. This designs how we define God or where God is or how God exists.
(Pause)
Jamie (leaning back in her chair and laughing): He thinks this is really funny. He kind of leans back and, I don’t know what that was. A little jerk of the head.
Wish you guys could see that.
Erik: You know all of this is really, really damn creative, how people view God. It’s all damn creative.
Jamie (laughing): He’s using his professor voice.
Me: Where’s your pipe and your hat and you’re smoking jacket?
Erik snaps his fingers to make these appear.
Jamie: Oh, play the role, Erik.
Erik (in a very stuffy, professorial voice): Carry on.
I chuckle.
Jamie: With his pipe.
She pantomimes holding a pipe in her hand.
Me: I’ve heard people say that God is like information and information manipulates energy to create things, etcetera. Is that true?
Erik: C’mon!
Me: And what is information, anyway? Is it a form of energy? Go ahead. I blasted you with a couple of questions.
Erik: I like the question that you’re asking. It’s really good.
I aim to please.
Erik: What’s consciousness?
Me: Energy that’s aware, maybe? I’m not sure.
Erik: Isn’t that the same damn thing that you’re asking? Information and energy and (touching his fingers in front of him) and woo, they get together and that’s consciousness. We already said that God is a mix of that consciousness, but this God Source is a collection of pure energy, energy that hasn’t manipulated to be into bodies, that hasn’t been designed to have a character or a role or a purpose, a plan. It’s a pure energy.
Me: Well does it have a personality or is it just this big, giant, infinite sea of energy, or does it have—
Erik: It has love, Mom. Love.
Me: Love. Okay. I hear that it is Love, right? Is God love?
Erik: Yes. Yes, yes.
Me: I also heard you say, I think, that God is All There Is. I mean, there’s nothing else but God?
Erik: Everywhere. Everywhere. People think that this “God,” this energy that we possess is solely ours on Earth.
(Pause)
Jamie (chuckling): He just went off on a tangent.
Me: Of course.
Jamie: A bunch of bad words.
She makes the sound of a machine gun.
Me: You can’t say bad words in this particular interview, Erik! It’s sacrilegious, but go ahead.
Jamie laughs and I shake my head.
Erik: That’s silly to think that [God] just belongs to us. It’s in so many places and in so many different forms. I think it’s going to be very entertaining, Mom, when we finally get over racism on Earth. We’re going to have to deal with intergalactic racism.
He stresses this as if it holds particular importance.
We laugh.
Erik: We’re going to have to acknowledge other beings, who they are and how they look and what their personality traits are and what their proposes are.
Me: Well, now you’re getting off on a tangent. Are you?
Erik: No! No, because we’re talking about God Source energy.
Me: We’re talking about whether it’s All There Is. If God is in a glass, filling it up and that glass is on the table, is that God, or is God the whole room, the whole universe not just what’s contained in the glass?
Erik: God is everything.
Am I dense? Oh yeah. I am.
Me: So there’s nothing else but God.
Erik: Right, and you can take the word, “God” and say, “Prime Source Energy.”
Me: Okay, and God is—
Erik: I think that helps the masses understand how everything connects.
Nothing like some funny God cartoons!
