I had a bit of a rough night. I just got out of bed as I couldn't ever get back to sleep. Thankfully its dark and raining. I've spent the morning writing to you about it.....I asked for a lucid dream with Earl (my guide), thinking I'd get something fun, cute, and comforting..thinking Earl embodied in it, but instead got something altogether different, shocking, violent, and eye opening. he turned into an object lesson in ways I would have never ever expected. I am still kinda shaken up by it all.

******************************

July 28 & 29, 2012

Late night. My Spouse and I watched a movie. Most of the movie I felt a spirit presence sitting with me. It was strong enough and constant enough I wondered if it was Eric or not. That would be unusual for such a length of time as normally my sense is he tends to move about those he looks after. Same with all these spirits it would seem. Or maybe it’s just that as a multidimensional entity our perception is pointless as we’d not understand anyway. Doesn’t matter. In any case, the movie was a shakespeare remake in modern scene. The movie finished and we got up to go to bed. The time was 10:10.

We went up stairs and Boo our dog, was being gross and licked himself and my side of the bed into a giant wet spot. In repulsion I got up and went to the basement to sleep. Ahhh nice.... so much cooler, darker, and nicer. I didn’t mind. So I was in a happy, wry, somewhat petulant mood. I get that way sometimes when I contemplate my irritations of spirit not manifesting in ways I want. For example, as I lay there I still felt the presence. Assuming it was Eric, and knowing the rest could hear me, regardless of who was actually there. I decided to get all whiny. I ignored what I assumed was Eric and started bitching to my GA (guardian angel I call “angel”).

Now the reason I found myself doing this is for pretty silly reasons. My detection of spirit energy in physical environment tends to be primarily tactile as opposed to optical. What I do see is rare and tends to more often than not be transparent static. On even more rare occasion I will see web like nebula's of moving color lights that rapidly fade in and out and arch and quickly move about fading in and out of visible notice. Cloud like. Well, as every medium physical or mental, everyone perceives spirit a bit differently. And I know people who excel at optical awareness, Especially angel awareness. Now, because in my own journey, I’ve always focused so heavily on disincarnate humans, I’ve always been slightly put out that my clairvoyant perception of Angel has been as a fuzzy white light blob with a multi harmonious voice. Total gender ambiguity. Which is why I just call my GA Angel.

So I lay there with Eric next to me and I look up into the darkness and I see this pale colored static blob moving around. I labeled it angel and just laid into it. I lamented, whined, complained, and basically gave an ultimatum. I said, you owe me, I need, I want to be able to tell if it’s you or not. Right now without them giving me clairvoyant vision or thought the only way I have to 100% validate who’s around is to take my intent, to whom my desire to speak with is, and how the energy and communication feels to me. And in fact they told me to do this. But I like things my way. So I lay there and said, “Ok, you two, or whoever you are, this is sooo not helpful. Whoever is next to me with this skin pressure tingle buzz, I want to get off me. If this presence on my skin is Angel, I want you to immediately pull back. And if it’s Eric I want you to tickle me.

Nothing happened. That got me fuming. I layed there an pouted. Maybe a min. or less passed. Then slowly the energy moved. I the got mad. I asked for imediate and they took their merry time. I thought because it was moving this was Angel,. but the energy just moved. It moved from my upper body to feel like someone rolled off me and physically sat on my legs. Weird. Not what I expected. Taking it’s mery time, all of a sudden it felt like something wrapped me in pressure from feet and rolled up my legs, and tickled me. Ok, Eric... fine. But that still didn’t address my irritation. So I ignored him, and looked across the room into darkness and I could tell there were spirits there. The air looked like stage fog, in the darkness lit by little pale led lights. The light highlighted pale thin strips of fog that rolled, and drifted in and out of mid air. Within the fog little blue and white and red pinpricks of light flashed on and off, which slowly moved to jut the white color. I projected my irritation and asked for answers. All of a sudden a faint gender neutral thought voice spoke in my mind. “We can not be as you would wish. We have never been human, nor have we had physical form. There is nothing realistic we can mold ourselves into for you to hold on to. We can not be what we never were. We are here.”

So fine. I guess I’ll just have to live with it. So I rolled back over. I suppose satisfied, and ok with it. I’ll have to be. Whatever. ha ah.. see, I am such a brat... in any case. I then turned my attention to what I assume are my main guides. Lydia and Earl. Now while I see them clairvoyantly and I am pretty sure I’ve had at least one objective clairvoyant (external voice in the room) phenomena from each of them in my life. My primary way of interacting with them is clairaudience. For some reason I rarely see them clairvoyantly and as far as I can tell rarely have touch contact if at all. And no Spirit comes close to the phenomena Erik m. has given me. I am talking personal one to one contact not phenomena in general. Comfort stuff. Eric A is prob. second, and prob. my primary interaction these days.

So while I still felt Eric there, he had moved back to just what I am assuming laying there, or sitting there next to me. I am sure amused as hell at my pouting. (he was my parent after all, I am sure I was conjuring up memories of me in all my bratty glory). ha ha. Soooo, I then turned over and addressed the other side of the room. I didn’t sense anyone in the air, or my guides physically near me. But I knew very well they hear just fine. So I started the same bitching. I said, no.... I demanded. “I want a lucid dream with Lydia or Earl. Ok, guys, I am making an official request to Spirit! I want! a! Lucid dream! with Earl!”. So then I rolled over again, very smug with myself, not at accomplishing anything, but at my inner amusement for speaking my mind.. don’t ask me why.. I guess usually my whining is more along the lines of poor me.... ha ha..

So I lay there and Eric suddenly wraps me up in this full body cocoon of pressure and energy and I start to drift off to sleep.

I have not idea what time it is. I didn’t take my phone or clock to the basement with me. I remember waking up several times in the night and Eric hadn’t moved.

At some point in the night I became aware that I was dreaming. My dream night, was split into several sections or periods. In each I knew I was dreaming, although a couple of the episodes I am not sure the order of what came first, as parts of it seemed interwoven. In the beginning I think I was dreaming of my grandparents old home. Shortly after they died. I’ve always lamented living in another state and not being able to participate in those events more. That house and their memory holds special places in my heart and mind. It’s not that I wanted to have any of their stuff, but more I think I wished that someone in the family still had the house or that I could visit. Weird I know. But in the dream, my relative were selling off their stuff. And I remember someone in Spirit I know not who, saying ‘be glad you weren’t there’.

Then I remember flying away in spirit form. Through tunnels of light with moving images, places, and forms. Only to land in a place, I’ve been before in dreams. I know not where. But it resembles a cross between Maimi beach, a boardwalk carnival, and shopping center. Sort of seedy. very crowded with flashing lights, cheap Motels, and scary multicolored buildings with many lurkers. 1960’s-1980’s. I remember being with people, maybe one or two. I am not sure. We were going through a boardwalk arcade. Playing games, buying crap and playing with it. Stickers, spongebob toys, and silly stuff. We were walking past the motels to somewhere.

Then I found myself in a modern building very much like the one I shared with my brother for 3 years. Strange. The people with me were gone. Oh well. I found myself going about my business. I think was just reliving daily life from that time. very much mundane stuff. The layout was different, as though it was a cross between several of my past abodes, but I knew it was the place I shared with my brother.

Up until now, the dreams had been amusing and enjoyable for the most part if weird.

Then, I am not sure the chain of events before this moment, but All of a Sudden, my vision twined down into a tunnel focus. I seemed to view through my eyes and at the same time view myself and surroundings at the same time from a position to the left and up, behind my head in 3D. Hard to explain this dual vision, all in color. Extreme detail. Felt more real than real!

I walked into the hallway between my brothers room and mine. I looked into his room. And saw a safe. the safe he kept his drugs and gun in. I had always told him, if I ever caught him using in the house I’d turn him into the cops. He is bipolar, and at the time a heavy user. So I looked at the safe and decided I’d had enough. I took a heavy blunt pole, maybe a hammer and I smashed the door off. Then he walked in and caught me. The look of crazed furey was in his eye. He ran to the safe and in a dark heavy voice said, “you’ll be sorry now”.... In sheer terror and panic my vision spiraled out and reformed in the opposite direction. Everything slowed to fractional slow motion. I spun, lurched and dove into my room slamming the door shut, and bolting it. As I did, the 3D other vision perspective flashed. And I saw him turn and stand up and fire. Flash. Spin. Vision back to me. I lurched to the side as the door bolted, I suck down as two bullets ripped through my door where my hand just was on the bolt. FLASH, vision spin. Tunnel vision, I see. Him. His feet go out from under him. He sinks, plops, collapses to the floor in sobs. He puts the gun under his chin. FLASH, vision spin. I am behind my door. I squeeze my eyes shut. In that body I say, “STOP, NO I want to see!” to someone in the room I know not who or where. … In that body, I turn into the door. Face against the frame. FLASH, vision spin. Through the door, I zoom in. Tunnel effect. Close up. My brother! he puts the gun under his chin and pulls the trigger. Slow motion. I see the bullet exit his head. I scream.

In that moment I woke up. All the spirits were gone. I couldn’t feel Eric. My heart was thudding. My ears were ringing. I was panting. I was dazed. but wide awake as though I had never been asleep. All of a sudden.... this thought rang through my head. LOUD. over and over. I thought, in this thought that was me, but didn’t quite feel like me. I found myself mouthing these words as it boomed in my head. “And I couldn’t save Erirc/k either” “I couldn’t save Erik/c either.”

I lay there and suddenly out of the blue Eric was back and rushed me with energy. A thick warm tingle of pressure and energy enfolded me like a cocoon, a blanket. and I started to cry.

As tears fell on my pillow, thoughts rushed to my head. I couldn’t save my brother. I couldn’t fix him. I could only release him, let him go to heal himself. And sometimes that healing takes lifetimes and equal sacrifice.

And as I lay there. I realized that in 2003 Earl died. It was also the year I met my spouse and the year my paranormal manifestations started again. It was the year I realized that I had to start living life for me. So in 2004 I moved out away from my brother. Still heavy with drugs, and bipolar, I had to let him go on his own. And I pretty much cut myself out of his life. For two years he was in and out of hospitals, homeless, and in deep trouble. But he eventually got help and is married and fine now. But as I lay there in that bed, I was suddenly struck that it has always been made very very clear to me in many ways and validation, that my guides were instrumental in me meeting my spouse. Heavily planned. Just like the paranormal events. I am assuming Earl. If it had not been for his intervention. If I had not chosen to live for myself, and let my brother go, ….This lucid vivid dream... Earl was showing me, what could have happened. He gave me my lucid dream I asked for... I didn’t specific HOW I wanted to experience Earl. I just said, I want a lucid dream WITH Earl. And true to his form, he used it as an object lesson, and opportunity to heal.

Basically if I had not chosen Love, self love, I could have lost my brother. I could have died. Again, Spirit helped me save myself. Fix myself, heal myself through choosing love.

And it was all planned.

So I sit here, thinking about all this, and I can hardly keep from crying again. The great tragedies of life, are often not what they seem. And in this lifetime, and very often only in future lifetimes, it is through the actions of our loved ones on both sides of the veil we are able to heal, and save ourselves. We are never alone. Ever.

We are surrounded by love. No fear.

ps.

Katy Perry's "wide awake" is now playing on my computer... lol (watch the video)

pps.

This has got to have been one of the most profound and wonderful experiences Iv'e ever had!. To finally after all these years get such a validation and tie in to my guide and my past experiences as a direct result of me asking to be given a lucid dream....I have got to tell you the story of meeting all my guides some time. Some of it is so funny,...

July 28, 2012

(as an email to Elisa)

Wanna hear another wild Erik story?

So, i recently discovered a few things.Through channeling, through other mediums, through detective sleuthing with other CE folks (mostly Nikki and I).

In the period between Erik's death and me discovering you, Robert, and Erik, i knew my guides....or thought i did. Main guide was a older man i called roger.

There was a little boy spirit named "George" I called him Georgie. He was dressed like someone straight out of oliver twist or something. He seemed around 5-8 years old. He claimed that in a past life he was my best friend and he loved me, and he died of an accident. Roger claimed he was showing Georgie the ropes, teaching him. etc. And when I went on my spirit walks practicing channeling Georgie would hold my hand.

In any case during that time I found him very comforting and sweet.

Well.......... Georgie mysteriously disappeared after I started talking to Erik. Roger said, Georgie had moved on to other things....

Welllllll.... Turns out Georgie... was actually Erik the entire time...... He'd been bumming around Robert, your family and I the entire time, only I had no clue.

They felt that it was a good way to open me to spirit in a non-threatening innocent way. They felt a teenager or someone not wise and proper would have freaked me out as potential threat or religious scary stuff. So when I met Erik, it was no longer needed. And apparently my guides were part of the group of teacher guides showing Erik and others the ropes on how to be a guide. Robert, You, and me were all guinea pigs of a sort for a while for manifestation practice and channeling with mediums practice... Go figure.. ha ha.

What's even funnier, is how elaborately planned many of all the CE crowd is in their life plans. There are no coincidences. For example.. You remember that whole debacle with Nikki aka Nikki and her son Eric and Jamie...Well that was all a ruse to help me overcome spiritual fear. Nikki and Eric are actually deeply involved in my life plan. I was even married to them in past lives. And Roger...isn't really Roger... he is actually Nikki's Dad! Remember how when I was a kid, Erik was my first paranormal experience, right before he was born to you.... Well, and then during college my experiences stopped.... Well in 2003, they started up again.. That's the year Earl, Nikkis dad died. He was the one helping create fear, so that I could learn about spiritual love through fear, and self love. Her Eric wasn't brought to me just to reunite with his mother. He was brought to me to learn faith, trust, love, communication, self love, overcoming fear, obsessions, anger, past pain, discernment, clarity, etc. So him, along with Emily, Andy, Earl and Erik all were cooking stuff up to help me learn about love.

So after I met Erik, you, Robert.... Roger also suddenly disappeared,... about 2-3 months later. I never knew why... I just mysteriously subconsciously thought he abandoned me, and I was pretty put out. But I didn't think too much of it, because pretty much Erik took over....Well. Turns out.. that's because at the time, my beliefs were so based in traditional British spiritualism that there was no way I'd accept an average family man next door as a guide. And so they let me think what I wanted, until I disassociated from it through experience and moved on. Then only recently with others we've figured all this out... And Erik confirmed it all through other mediums as well.

For example....there was multiple mediums, but additionally.. Last night I was going to call a fellow medium to tell her what was up with Georgie, and before I could even tell her this story, the first words out of her mouth was.... It was Erik it was Erik! and she said Erik was dancing around and teasing me, dressing up like Sherlock Holmes and said, I'd done a good job of figuring it out....Which was all very funny because about an hour before this happened, I was at the bus stop i saw a darker hair version of Ebo (erik-brother) as he looked at 18. Just sitting there slouched next to me, and id never seen the kid before...granted it wasnt erik but just that out of the blue, on that day of all days id see someone like that, that just makes me think of him for no reason at all.

So i just said to my guide ...earl, so what you all get me crying long enough and you all and Erik spill the beans...and he said, "no we get you to love through grief, fear, anger, doubt and self loathing and you are in a spot to understand and figure it out. We just nod and pass out party favors, drinks and napkins...and erik says yeah for tears and the other eric says yeah and for barf"

Then, I was sitting there watching the Olympics and the tv actors are all standing in the stadium and the actors are forging the rings into the air...right...

And I think 1914, I wonder if Erik or any of the boys went to the Olympics or any of them were there.

And I hear the boys say to me

the reason you've felt such weird resistance to writing about us, as much as you and our moms love us, as much as you want to write our story, this isn't my story or our life. This is your and our moms lifes. This is bout you. Your life, ALLL OF OUR LIVES NOW,. You, us, together. Everyone YOU together. AS ONE, now. It's your story. The story of everyone. the story of the soul. Not me, not Erik, not earl. its the "now story", You.

As per C.E. forum questions:

http://www.channelingerik.com/forum/#/20120723/daily-life-1785386/

Ok.

Here are the answers. They are channeled in mass from my spirit team of which Erik is a part of. I am sure he could lend some choice color to the answers, but he was mellow today. His only singular addition was, 'looks good dude'.

Questions:

1) Erik has mentioned about Demons and other negative beings on the other side. What keeps Erik and them apart?

Simple answer:

State of being. What some refer to as vibration.

Complex answer:

Those in Spirit, below a certain level of experience and understanding of who they are.....exist withing a range of being in or out of alignment with their highest state of being. With the top as One in Unity with All That Is, and bottom so out of alignment that one is blinded with felt separation. It is an indivisible division that can not be overcome except by experience and understanding. Refinement is the only way to traverse to finer, ever more pure states of being. Those of dense emotional states of being, have trapped themselves in a mire of their own perceptions, which blind them with one way vision. Where they are and below. They can not see finer states. They can only see those like them or denser depending on their beliefs and awareness. Each state of being is confined to those like themselves. You can go down further with ease, but to go up back to your higher self requires the work of experience. It is only through this work that the identification of the lower self's is realized as false and they then, are cast into dimensional memory. In Spirit, the personality you know as Erik is his higher self, already co-joined but presented to you for recognition as his last life. He is at such a state of being that those of lower states can not approach or even know of his presence unless he wishes it to be known. It is analogous to those who walk Earth in an unconscious state of living, blind to who they are and their inner spirit. They have Angels and guides, though they only interact unknowingly. Once a consciousness is awoken through emotional experience, they slowly or suddenly become aware of higher beings around them, or higher purposes, and in various ways are guided to evolve. So too are the other planes of existence.

2) Has any spirit from the light gone/fallen over to the darkness?

You question is born from Earth analogies representing the path of the soul separating from Source and it's journey back to itself. The aspirant of the soul goes through many ups and downs to the path of God. Some quickly rise to great heights only to burn out and returning to the less steep trail. Which in your terms would mean more lives to reflect on desired lessons. From a certain point of view this would seem as a great fall, or set back. But to the soul and All that is, it is but an opportunity to understand it's nature, it's potential for even greater manifestations of love. There is no judgement where real separation does not exist. The light vs the dark is a tool for expressing this soul understanding. You can not understand it until you fully experience it. But do not let such things worry you or cause you greater fear. You can not help but succeed in your journey. For it is yours to remember the divine love within you.

3) If no spirits were present in the afterlife, would it just be a void of nothingness?

There is no afterlife. Heaven is all around you. There are only states of being, and expressions of manifestation. Life, as you see it is the journey of consciousness across multiverse's to know itself. What you, in your present state, would deem as an afterlife, IS SPIRIT. Spirit, is ALL that is. It is the void, it is the dark, it is the light, it is matter, it is energy. The life-force of a soul, is indivisible from the make up, of the plane of existence, it perceives. So "IF" will remain as, however your own, perception see things.

4) Are there any structures or similar in the afterlife, that are permanent features of the afterlife?

All manifestations of seeming physical matter are built using the energies of the consciousnesses that reside in a particular state of being. How permanent, depends on the focus of those consciousnesses. Focus is not limited to present awareness, but the vibrations it's state resonates with. One can exist in some planes without conscious awareness, and so then structures are created without awareness. Permanence to your current perception would seem like an eternity, though not from all views.

5) Are there rules of engagement for spirit interacting with humans, like Do's & Don'ts?

The free will of the higher self is not infringed upon. The will of the incarnate host is often overlayed with subconscious agreement on the soul level with individuals and groups (including societies and planets), and so to many it would seem as though free will is subjugated or forced upon with lack of choice. Outside of a reconnection to one's greater spirit, this can not always be fully understood while incarnate focus is held. Within that free will agreement there are no limits in so far as the action or inaction falls within the operating state of being. One might divert inquiry into semantics based on human perception. But you should not worry. The guides, Angels, and those of higher spirit who manage the planes of experience and expression have things well in hand. The rules beyond this free will can not be revealed as you would not understand it's context as rules operate on across dimensionality. It normally takes hundreds to thousands of life experiences to approach this subject and that is normally only available between spirit and spirit due to the purposes of incarnations. The do's and Don'ts as you are thinking of, pertain so heavily to belief on both sides of the so called veil or perception that to explore them would not be useful. It is better to simply follow what resonates with your heart.

6) If a person claims they have no discernible ability to communicate with the afterlife, are there alternative ways to communicate?

The primary method those in spirit communicate, is via the subconscious, through the energy bodies. Every human form is capable of communication. Though perception, belief, and experience of the conscientiousness limit understanding of this. For some this can be cultivated through the use of physical tools, for others- ritual, and for others a change in thinking or manipulation of energy. But then you already know this. The best way to communicate in all ways you need, is to look within your heart and listen to whatever love you can express. It is only by allowing yourself to feel your heart that you can return to fully conscious communication with All that Is. In that moment where you speak to the I of who you are.. you are present with your divinity. In that space, you are communicating.

7) Is there anything in the spirit world, that spirits stay clear of?

Depends on the Spirit. States of being are drawn like magnets to each other. Those out of harmony are repulsed. Those who heal, heal. Those who guide, guide. Those who create, create. Those who destroy, create their own rebirth. Those who balance bridge all of this. They drawn together chaos and order to create a energetic harmony that consciously expand ever new ways of asking the original question. Who are we? Who am I? There are no limits, no restrictions, nothing forbidden. Nor is their a ceiling in goal or opportunity.

CE member follow up questions:

*****************************************************

Wow thankyou kindly Jason. Am quite inquisitive about this stuff but don't really like to ask. Being from a Pentecostal background filtering through my family and upbringing I have lots of ideas about the afterlife (not all of them correct).

A little background to my questions if I may:

1) This stems from a biblical text in Luke 16:26 - And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.'

2) And more biblical quotations: Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. It always puzzled me why the biblical devil became envious of god. I always wanted to know in a perfect heaven were could that envy that so called consumed the devil come from? Must have been from god.

3) I wanted to establish whether the place in which spirit resides is a separate thing and so would always be there even if spirit weren't.

4) This ties in with the previous question but is also something I read in a book about the afterlife by Sylvia Browne. she mentioned that there were great Romanesque buildings in the afterlife. Some permanent feature buildings like a grand library and a hall of records, were two fixtures of the afterlife according to her.

5) This one is from a personal observation. When people attend paranormal investigations and witness an apparition one on one. As soon as the apparition is seen it tends to always disappear. So I was of the impression that perhaps one of the rules of the spirit world for some bizarre reason is once seen by a human you must disappear. Also when you ask a spirit to leave it has to obey you and go? Also as I understand it spirit has to respect your free will, what if they don't? Is there someone or something that enforces obedience?

6) This one was for the skeptics or cynics who always ask for physical proof of contact with the afterlife. I know and understand everyone has the ability to communicate but some refuse to do so on a sub-conscious level, often for fear of ridicule and mockery.

7) This is again related to question number 2

Can I ask how does Erik or indeed any spirit see us? I mean do they only see our own spirit or are they capable of seeing our denser bodies. And are they watching all the time, even when your taking a whizz or having sex? And also what surprised me and again coming from a religious background, spirits swearing surprised me. Now I'm no fuddy duddy and I can swear with the best of them. But never the less it did surprise me as you think the afterlife is all holier than thou etc. :-)

Oh and another one, what is commonly the reaction of deeply religious people once they go to the afterlife and see it is not quite what they were lead to believe. No 40 virgins, no garden of Eden etc.

Thanks again

Hey Mike.

Thanks for your questions. I do find such things interesting. As a hard core evangelical christian the first 16 years of my life or so, I can totally relate to your own background. It took a whole bunch of paranormal stuff among other things to set me off looking for other answers.

Have you see some of the material I put online on my website? Among my journals, I have a Q & A section and an article section where a couple of your questions were answered by Erik. (In Elisa's links)

https://sites.google.com/site/kookyspookyookyjournal/home

But I'll see if I can reply here.

I first have to say, when it comes to religious materials regardless of source, you'll want to keep in mind I have a filter based on my experience and academic background as well as my own spiritual and paranormal experiences. And that said, even when I was a practicing evangelical some 20+ years ago, I was not a biblical literalist. I tend to hold to that such things are like any channeled material or spiritual material passed from person to person. sooo... you will simply want to keep an open mind and take what resonates with you and keep taking a survey of information to form your own understanding... I am also an researcher so if your hunting down specific sources for further exploration, feel free to email me, I am sure I can point you in a direction or two.

Ok, I'll see if I can get into a zone with Erik here and pick at a few of these before my commute home.

Answers)

The chasm or gulf in this instance is simply a metaphor for physicality of an incarnation and the modality of energy bodies, and the point of view of the average person of that time and how they viewed life vs death. To the unconscious human, interaction with spirit on the same perceptual level is impossible. To the Spirit, it can not "live a life" with the incarnate outside of a physical vessel or host. Because the life of the incarnate is a tool for experiencing the incarnates self. It's their play, their life. It is this singular purpose that temporarily seems to separate the spirit man from the physical man. Granted this is in the unconscious man, typical of those times who did not know it's true nature. To translate this into modern thinking would greatly depend on the incarnates or the observers world view, beliefs and perceptions. And would go into a far far greater discussion than warranted here. A good starting point for the perception of consciousness and this view of possible gulfs, you might take a look at the Seth books, by Jane Roberts. The nature of personal reality is a good one, or Seth Speaks. There are many more...

I have to be honest with you on this one. Anything revelations goes soo far into my personal filters, I can only politely say, I don't believe it was ever meant to be taken literal. The way I perceive Erik replying to this is a visual of him rolling his eyes and saying, it's all bunk. From personal experience I can honestly say, most clairvoyent visions are or can be extremely symbolic at times. And finding a modern contextual key to them, let alone for something that old across societies can be a challenge. Personally I think that envy comes from refusing to see the love inside us and offering gratitude for the opportunities we are given either through our own efforts via prelife planning or life circumstances or through others. It stems from the fear that we are less than, separate, and somehow without what we think we desire. This leads to anger, despair and self loathing. It's only when we accept what we have to work with, with love and gratitude that we can realize our perfection as an divine expression work to gaining experience in understanding who we are, leading to more opportunity in manifestations of love. So the casting downs, and chasms, and exiles, and separations are those that we create ourselves when we turn from our true natures, which are connected with Source and all that is. aka God. We work to sacrificing our ego lower self's to save us from fear so that we find salvation in love. Yeah, that sounds all woowoo to me, but you get the drift.

Whenever one talks about "place" it's helpful to keep physics in mind. Place is objective depending on view of the observer. So without knowing how you see the term place, your beliefs, your expectations, etc., I hesitate to say. Think of the space between an atom. Where is it? How big is it? What's all in there? ok., now put it in a molecule, now a cell, now an organ, now a body? where are they? Keep going out and out, and how, where's spirit in all that? So if you mean is it beyond the currently recordable light spectrum, is it dark matter? or is it through a black hole in another universe or galaxy?.... I can't tell you. The only thing I personally have ever gotten from Spirit is that it all co-exists with us here, all around us. We simply don't perceive it in the average human body or with our current technology. I've also been told time and time again that there is no real separation. As far as I am aware, based on my experiences and research and channeled material that nothing exists in which there is not spirit.

4)Sylvia. Oh sure. Those structures she mentions are quite common in descriptions of various afterlife visions. Be it channeled material. You can find stuff like that going back to the 1700's in channeled material across various countries. I believe they are valid. The way I understand it, is that such things are created by the group consciousness that reside in those states of being aka dimensions, in this universe. Some of it is perceptual based on who's viewing. aka beliefs manifest what you get. like attracts like and creates a common summer land etc. A good book to read to get a better idea of this is an older spiritualist book, I believe is called, "life in a world unseen". Personally I find the more modern research like, *Handbook to the Afterlife by Heath, Pamela Rae, Klimo, Jon. to be more useful.

5)The flicker apparitions are caused by several possible means. One, by manipulating the nerve eye brain connections of the incarnate to see something. Two, by manipulating incarnates energy fields. Three by creating surges of energy with environmental, etheric, or personal energies or some combination. Like projecting a hologram. It flickers because there are not multiple spirits stabilizing the phenomena, or there is not a medium to channel it. There is no such rule as you imply other than those imposed by the incarnates higher self OR the incarnates of those involved, or the guardian angels, etc. The GA's and guides are the ones enforcing any non interference that is warranted. It just totally depends on the life plans of those involved. Does this make sense? I can go into this more if you'd like from my own experiences.

6)That is there own journey. There is NO judgement from Spirit on disbelief. There are innumerable lessons and experiences about the self to understand and have through disbelief or any belief for that matter. It's better to just let it go and focus on what love we can experience.

7) I channeled this once upon a time... I was trying to find where I stuck it... take a look at my Q & A's. Basically he first sees us on an energy level, he can focus on any of our energy bodies, as well as physical, and depending on our higher self, life plans, and those with us, may have access to past, alternate, and future selves. It just depends. Mostly it is the emotions and thoughts that are seen first. There is no linear, 3D perspective. He can see out of the back of his head or look at you as if he was standing in front of you... it's not a black or white answer. And yes, they do see us pee, but I swear they don't pay any attention. I promise. They are looking at our energy, thoughts and emotions, not our well, you know. ha ha...So yeah. That, the swearing, You can find in my QA's.

8) Lastly, just because someone has a belief incarnate doesn't mean they do on a soul level. Some experiences can only be had within the tight focus of certain beliefs. It varies too much to give a blanket statement. For some, they end up co creating a reality based on their belief. For others they are in self created limbo of a sort, and for others it is more of a 'oh yeah, I forgot'. and for some it just takes an adjustment period...

Talk more to ya soon!

Last night I encountered someone online whom I felt was somewhat rude to myself, a fellow CE friend, and Erik. I felt like they were baiting us, being an online troll, or even being disrespectful to Elisa. Part of me really struggled with defending my two friends online at Elisa's forum, and the other part of me was trying to just let it go and ignore the individual.

On a personal level I have varying forms of communication with him, and I really do think of him as a brother, friend, and father figure. And to have someone demand I or anyone else ask him questions, or rudely validate their preconceived idea of their personal reality irritated the hell out of me. I thought to myself, Gee sir, it sounds like you have it all together. I am sure there is some part of you that is perfectly capable of figuring out all of our ultimate realities. Granted this guy was I am sure specifically putting the question out there for Elisa to ask Erik through Jamie, and or to Patrick to ask his Spirit guides, what he terms the committee, but still.

But as Erik reminded me, Other peoples beliefs and experiences are none of my business. The multiverse and all that is, contains such diversity that there is room for all to not only exist, but manifest and believe as they need and want. We are better when we have a rich variety of perspectives, talents, backgrounds, lifestyles, and experiences in this dualistic world. He would like to remind people that he is no different, or better than you are. He is no guru on the mountain top. He doesn't know all, nor can he simply go get all the answers you wish or satisfy all your desires for validation, (for many reasons) He can help to facilitate loved ones for you, teach about the afterlife and his own experiences, and help show you what he's learned about love, life, and the continuance of the soul, and his recent family's experiences. His experiences, views, and his own beliefs are no more valid than your own, based on your own experience. He firmly believes that while some on earth will say there is right and wrong thinking, that he would like to suggest that instead it might be more useful to look at belief and understanding in terms of the question 'in who's best interest?' based on specific need. He believes that our diversity of opinion and experience can only add to the opportunity for soul growth and is a major influence in providing contrast in forming all our understanding of who we are.

Guest Interview

As you may have noticed, over the past few weeks from time to time spread over my "musings, journal, and Erik journals" on this site; I've highlighted some of the material, channeled or otherwise from Nikki's Spirit Team. For those who don't know, Nikki is the incarnate mother of one of the guys on my own Spirit Team, or gang. That would be Eric. While we have not fully fleshed out Eric's story in a public fashion yet, he, her father, and more I am sure, share common soul associations and interact on a regular basis. Together along with guides, Angels, and others we help each other probe our spirituality, the nature of the universe and our personal realities. As time has passed, we've become more and more comfortable with this process and the sense of comfort and family has increased. In that light, I would like to share the following transcript, a Q & A with our Spirit Team on the nature of Love and personal life journeys. We hope for many more entries in the years to come.

**************************************************

7-12-2010--- Channeling transcript --- The nature of Love and personal life journeys

Incarnate: Jason, Nikki

Dis-incarnate: (Known Spirits) Eric, Earl, Elle(Angel), Malcolm, and more

Answers provided by Nikki and Spirit:

Hello Nikki,

Jason here. I was hoping I could ask you and your Spirit Team a few questions..... You've always said to me, That's not my journey, "Everyone has their own Journey".

Question:

What does it mean, when you say everyone has their journey?

In a nutshell it means we all have a prebirth plan we are working on. Often that plan involves others who will contribute and relate to the events, emotions and experiences. It will appear that they are on the same path at times as they have agreed to play a part.

Question:

What does it mean to you? Specifically in your life now, vs. before Eric died?

I was told in a reading that I needed to stop questioning Eric's actions and let go of any worry or guilt as his life was his journey. For him his journey was perfect. It was a reminder from master, teacher, angels et al that I played a role in his journey but I was not responsible for it. I have my own journey to live. If I was going to dwell on his journey and his decisions I would be passing up the opportunity for my soul to experience the journey it had planned for this life. My soul had planned a part in Eric's journey, as his mother I was closely connected via the mother/son bond and the love a mother carries for a child throughout their life.

My Soul graciously agreed to go thru this tragic event. Not only to help Eric on his journey but to allow growth on my journey. The opportunity to experience grief, spirituality, belief in eternal love, planned lives, soulmates and divine love. Before Eric died I lived my life loving my kids with all my heart. Nothing made me happier than to be with family. I wanted them to be happy and healthy. To experience the best of the best and be all that they could be. It wasn't until Eric died that I realized how much I had worried that they would encounter bumps in the road and disappointments etc. As the loss of Eric unfolded and I allowed myself to trust in my angels, spirits, higher self I realized...there is so much more. Our journey is not just this life. It is an eternity of lives and afterlives. What we experience in a single life is but a speck of the opportunities and experiences. Every soul is on an eternal journey. And more importantly at a different stage. That doesn't make one soul better, it makes for a multitude of opportunity, duality and experiences. The single lesson thus for, for my soul is..love is ALWAYS an option. No matter what the circumstance, what souls are interacting at the time, you have a choice to choose love. When you become aware of that single option you change. You allow yourself to see things thru the eyes of divine love. Every time you choose love you are divine. Love is the light, love is the connection to joy. The truth will always be found in love.

I had moments of anger, resentment, shock, heart squeezing pain in the loss of such a beautiful, loving, happy son. I could have chosen anger, hatred, guilt...or LOVE. By choosing love, I chose to stay connected to my son. To allow him the freedom to make his journey, which in turn expands the souls of all involved.

Question:

Are there multiple meanings?

I don't think so. A journey is a journey. it cannot be defined as anything other than the experiences of the soul.

When you allow yourself to think in such simple terms you allow forgiveness and love to take control. That person that makes you angry, that teen that seems self centered...they are playing a role for not only their soul but those on their path at the time. Maybe it was just an intersection for your soul. A quick stop sign and reminder that answer the choice is always love. If we only saw love, joy and truth in our lives...we would never have to choose. We can't know exactly where every soul is on their journey. But we CAN always choose love. Do what feels best for your soul. Choose love...walk away, mentally send love to that person, smile and hope they feel the love in your heart. You may have been that soul at one point. There is no room judgment.

Question:

Is there anything in that statement that unities us?

Everything. We are all connected. Yep, even that crabby old man and that obnoxious teenager with the droopy jeans is part of God's divine love. The more we choose love, the less irritated we are with the physical. Take away the crabby old face and the cocky attitude and you have a soul full of light. It's all a process of allowing our soul to experience, to feel, to receive and give love. Sure its tough. WE like what we like. But is it so hard to let it go. To just choose the high road and love. Every day there is an opportunity to feel love. Both in receiving and giving. You cannot receive love if you cannot give love. You wont know what love is..how can you receive something you don't know. As we continue on our individual journey's we simply discover no matter what the circumstance, the environment, the emotions we are perfect. We are worthy of love and therefore capable of loving.

Question:

How does love fit into it....?

Love is the answer. Love is all you need. Choose love.

Question:

Part of me, when I hear that phrase; part of me feels like it's being used as a cop-out or excuse to not have to deal. And yet at the same time, I know and feel this is just a form of emotional resistance in that I am uncomfortable with others, and how I think I should or shouldn't react to their problems/ life/ journey. How do we honor them, and ourselves at the same time?

We cannot know every soul's journey. Just keep in mind that you are given opportunities to experience. You do not have to go down that path unless you choose. But all paths lead to love. You can take a path that puts you alongside someone in deep distress or pain or doubt. If your soul wants to travel this path for growth purposes you will feel drawn. However, you are always given free will and can choose a different path. Whatever you choose is perfect. There is no wrong. Your soul will benefit from every choice. Trust that the best outcome is at the end of your journey, find joy in each and every path and when in doubt choose love.

Question:

I also want to hear about your personal experience with the phrase.....

"If it's not love, let it go"

With out a doubt there will be times when we encounter that which does not feel like love. How can we know how awesome love is, if we do not know the feeling of lack of love? Is that hate, is that fear? Whatever you want to call it, it will be put in our path for growth purposes.

But we always, always, always have a choice to choose love. Our soul's growth would be one of just minimal change if we only encountered little bumps. Often it seems we are on an unpaved path...bumpy, potholes, annoying and unpredictable. Those opportunities are what we have agreed to experience. Over and over we will be given the choice to choose love or fear, love or hate, love or guilt. Just as you think you have conquered that experience...another comes up. As if your soul is saying..do you really get it? How about now? How about this way? The more confident we become the more we choose love the more the other choices seem inappropriate. Never doubt love. It is always the winner. The angels rejoice, the spirits celebrate, your perfect self shines when you choose love. There is no failure, there is no wrong because eventually you get it. Whether it is in this life, the afterlife or the next life. Love always wins.

A journey is a journey is a journey. It helps to remember to focus on our own journey...THAT is what we are here for. NOT to judge another's.

J>O>U>R>N>E>Y is about ur JOY n(othing) e(else)

Thank you to Nikki and her Gang!

Ok, I asked Spirit the following just now;

"How do we keep on dancing when I can't past the pain?"

And then all of a sudden for some reason I check the photo blog observeando and get this pic

http://observando.net/post/27140278260

And I say, "What? is that me, my inner princess"

and then I hear,

"blow bubbles."

and I think, WTF, blow bubbles?

and then I think... wasn't bubbles the name of one of mj's monkey's....

and then Erik blurts out.... something like... "blow your monkey!"

and then between Eric and Erik and others, all hilarity breaks out with dirty innuendo and joking....

and then I swear I heard mj say,

"No you guys, when the pain is too bad, get some gum, be silly, find a loved one, even a pet, hug them, play, have fun, and let yourself go, channel your inner child and pop your bubbles. If you can't beat the pain, laugh, cry, yell, scream, but just put that intent out there to take a break and be you in whatever joy you can find."

July 12, 2012

"As we let go of worry, negativity, and judgement we allow joy and happiness to come to the forefront of our lives. Striving for gratitude for all that is, is a sign of true faith in our individual journeys as we travel life together. To trust in that process, that all will work out for the best is to trust in the Light that lives in us as us. We are the perfect versions of what we may be in any moment. Heaven would never want anything else. There is no mold of perfection, you ARE perfect. Always. every choice, every decision is the perfect you. To compare, is to doubt that each of us is individually divine and perfect. As we watch the awareness unfold in each of your lives we see the love, joy and light in all of us through our unity. Life is like the roller coaster ride that is popular at the amusement park. So many say, the last dip is Awesome, but when you are the ride, you are thinking, is this it? That wasn't so great and out of the blue comes the biggest thrill. Wait, be patient and enjoy the ride. Trust us, it all works out. it is worth it." --- Channeled by Nikki from her Spirit team

July 12, 2012

"The process of your individual Journey's through life

is more important than the journey of the physical.

I would rather let people work on the emotions of that process,

on their individual terms.

It's important to keep them and you

on the target of a message,

that resonates with you personally.

There is never competition of any given message,

but we in Spirit wish you to remain true to who or how you feel,

in any given moment,

that feels like your genuine true self."

Erik and I had an interesting half aware, half unconscious discussion this morning. Hard to explain. (clairsentience and clairauidence)

He mentioned to me on the bus, that as much as hearing about others experiences, specifically those that are fear based disturb me, that I shouldn't feel that I have to explain, uncover, or fix them. Nor should I feel like I have to facilitate an answer. What they need, and what I think they need, what I think they want, and what I think Spirit may find helpful can never be realized in my incarnate state. What can be helpful is to offer an ear, offer love, offer gratitude for sharing the experience, and to inquire how they feel. It is in how they feel, that they will be able to approach a process of healing and personal understanding. What appears as physical reality and ultimately real to others is ultimate illusion and falsehood to spirit. And that it is nothing, nothing but a tool to get at the heart of the matter, our hearts. It is in our hearts that we can approach any true reality. Everything else is none of our business.

As per C.E. forum questions:

I had a strong spirit guide come through a few months ago that I could easily communicate with. Problem is much like contact I have had with my other guides is they seem to disappear after about 2 months of interaction. My last one was called Matthias.

Any reason why --Mike

Hey Mike, I really like your questions. I know you posted this in the "ask Erik"/ Request Facilitation from Erik, section... so I don't know if you really wanted his opinion of your particular situation or not, or if you just wanted to talk shop with others.

Personally I rarely "get" answers from him, that I in life or on a soul level are working on myself, I've experienced what you have as well, and I've also scratched my head in wonder at it. I tend to insist on figuring out stuff through personal experience.

But I really enjoy talking spirit - "shop" talk here. Kinda fun. So I hope it's ok if I reply personally.

In my own experience and research, I've had wild variation in Spirit guides, teachers, ect.

From time to time, I like to take a few steps back from an academic point of view and try to make sense of it, and think about what it all means. What I mean by that is depending on what I've read, or who I've talked to, even to those in Spirit, I've gotten very different answers. For example, depending on belief structures, ie. Spiritualists, Spiritist, Shamanistic, modern Paranormal, Religious, new age, etc. the descriptions of such entities will vary.

Given what you've written before, I am assuming your also a medium and researcher in your own right and feel comfortable navigating the myriad sources of this info out there.

That said, Over time, I've come to the conclusion that my perceptions of them as an incarnate human don't matter so much as how my experiences with them feel. That I tend to get into emotional trouble when I start to assign human style relationship qualities to them. ie. My guide A, B, or C, my friend this or that, or my particular type of Teacher. Because as an incarnate human my view, perspective, and observation point; be it through one of the "clairs" or physicality will always be through a filter and skewed based on my current awareness, state of being, context, and previous data.

So, there's that, from a stand offish view.

Personally, in my own experience; I seem to have one primary guide who as far as I can tell has been energetically "tuned in" to me my whole life. I also seem to have one or more Angels who have "been with" me my whole life. I call that guide, my primary or personal guide. I am fairly certain my Angel aka guardian. My guide told me her name via mental image association until I hit upon the interpretation she wanted. Lydia. Now my Angel, because of my background and beliefs, did away with names, and as a joke, I call it "Angel". "Hey Angel" (I loathe complex names, Iam sure if he'd given me an odd non English name, I would have said, ... nope, that doesn't work for me, I am calling you bobby". :)

Now, I've come to learn that many guides work in unison as part of a group consciousness. Or shall we say, "teachers association". Think of it as a union of party lines. Or a network of computer help lines. Erik often works this way as well. Many guides participate in a voluntary hierarchy, with their own structures and organization. Usually based on experience, belief, and philosophy. And there are a million + of this in variation. And many of these guides are masters who have pupils, students, graduate assistants, and teaching partners. For example, my primary guide Lydia, as far as I can tell; works under a Master guide who had me name him "Roger" (not the name he is know by in Spirit). Roger can be thought of not only as tag-team teaching with Lydia, but can be thought of as the head of a department of faculty. Her mentor. He was the one who first made contact with me on a conscious level. Then after about two months, Lydia spoke up. Then they both backed off when Erik appeared. Since then, over time, I rarely hear from Roger anymore unless I "go to" him with conscious intent. It's all based on need, purpose, intent, and conscious focus of the charge, or pupil (us).

As I've developed, Lydia has faded in and out of present focus of my conscious awareness, though she is always energetically connected and aware. As the pupil develops, guides, teachers, and guest lecturers come and go, like I said, based on need.

Guest teachers, or lecturers, or visiting professors.. ha ha... guides... all come with their expertise....ALTHOUGH, I will stress, some are here to "learn just as much from us as we are from them". And many many are on the same level of experience, evolution, and soul level as we are. So many times, when you think you are getting a new guide, In actuality you are getting a student, and you are the teacher. It's just from your human view, you can't possibly see this. Many Spirit masters who incarnate guide while they are asleep, and their students who are incarnate visit them while they themselves are asleep, et.etc. Another interesting example is that when Roger first contacted me, he had with him a child student/spirit who simply observed, and interacted with me socially. I also have guides who I rarely consciously interact with but they help with very specific things like writing, research, art, etc, based on their interest, so they come an go depending on what I am doing. And for me, lastly, there are the so called Master Spirit, or Spirit Directors as i like to think of them. These are spirit masters who never incarnate anymore. You'll run across them in the literature under such names as guardians, lords, councils of elders, those who manage huge energies, systems, and groups of consciousness, huge responsibilities, god like abilities, those who's experience in lives are in the millions and billions through multiple universes. I've encountered at least 3 of these types of beings. One of them has never been human, even though he presents himself as such. I like to think of these beings as not just guides, but the guides who primary focus where I am concerned are solely about my spiritual evolution. Their motives are highly refined, unwavering, and only have the greater good in mind. (albeit, from our point of view it is impossible to understand).

So this is just a drop in the bucket of why and how guides come and go. This is not even mentioning, the huge huge amount of spirits who have past life associations and soul group associations with us that visit us. I've had many visiting spirits who have had such with me, who I remembered, but didn't know how, when, nor would they tell me.

And you'll have spirits who as a medium, you'll run across who will then have interaction with you, but you wont' be sure of the hows and why's of it all. And you'll have non human spirits as well, that may or may not present themselves as human. ie. animals, beings from other planets, other dimensions, astral beings, etc.

And we haven't even started talking about the Angelic realms....

wild isn't it? I think so..

For me, I deliberately only focus on 1-4 at a time. Usually Lydia, Erik and another friend named Eric, and my Angel, regardless of how or who is working with me at the time... Beyond that is usually too much for me to deal with. I always set my intent for who I want to work with and who I am willing to work with on a conscious level.

Erik has always told me that "speaking with one (guide), is the same as speaking to all"; That human minds, feelings, and intentions can't be hidden from any spirit. And because of the energetic connections with those you work with, you are never "out of tune" with those you need. That they always give you what you need on a soul level, not necessarily what we want". That if we keep in mind, our hurt feelings, or feelings of personal attachment as a human do not apply on the soul level... that when ever we crave attention, love, or support from a spirit we wish, all we need to do is direct our focused attention/thought and feelings to that spirit, faster than light, it will be as though they are standing next to us, whether we feel it or not.

So I like to think of all those I've regularly work with as my intention.... "my spirit team" or as I lovingly/ jokingly call, my spooky biker gang, or "my gang". I don't worry about anyone else. If they work with me, the burden of validation, attention or task is on them. They can give me the info, or through Erik/eric/lydia, ect. ect./ or they can do what they do best, and work with my subconscious, or synchronicity.

If I were to advise you, I would say, simply assert your intent, interest, and preference and make it very well known to your own set of spirits or team as to how you would like to work. It's all about your life, make it known. :0)

As per C.E. forum questions:

With the recent scientific discovery of the so called 'God Particle' does this have a bearing on mankind's spiritual awakening/growth?

"This scientific growth on a spiritual level is more about acknowledgement and rediscovery. These ideas of particles and sparks are nothing new, only the level and quality of awareness seems revealed for this time, this age, this planet and culture. "Humans, and this present consciousness will soon become aware that the space between such moments such sparks, such snapshots, the space between is just as important in creation. Just as negative numbers are as important as positive expression. When so called science stops seeking the parts of reality and starts feeling it's unity, then reality can begin to be truly understood. This is reflected in understanding the human consciousness. As experience progresses, we realize that we are not just this life, this body, these circumstances. We are spirit having a physical experience. In such perceptions, we can then return to a larger participation." -- Voices of Spirit

****

A question for Erik. As our vibration is being raised and more and more 'spiritual people' come to the fore professing various gifts, abilities etc How can we sort the Wheat from the Chaff? How can we test them to see if they are genuine or not?

This from Erik

"One of the keys to any change of personal awareness is, what does any given experience mean to your heart; what you take from it as being resonate with who you are. There is no other test for Spiritual truth. When your subjective experience becomes your objective reality, how you perceive yourself, will be genuine.

Now you're gonna find a lot of people disagreeing with this. They will tell you that they have every right to seek validation, tests, procedures, and create a system that people can rely on. There are plenty of places you can find that view. For them, this is part of their personal truth. But is it the whole truth? Does their reality define yours? Or will you request others eat your processed wheat, when they wish to eat potatoes?

Live life with the intention of expressing your consciousness as you see it, not as I see it, or how others feel about it. If your honest with the "process as opposed to the labels", your expansion into more of who you are, will happen naturally and without too much resistance. Don't worry, let love live where you can, and do your best. When you see yourself as food feeding each other without judgement, you'll see that the only gifts are the parts of ourselves that are given in service. You'll see that there is no wheat, there is no Chaff, or even shaft, there is only food and hunger. Feed it, share it, grow it.

What does this mean to you? What do you see? In their light or shadow how do you see your light?"

(as posted in the C.E. blog thread, http://www.channelingerik.com/ten-tips-from-erik/ )

10 Tips for feeling the happy child in you.

By Erik

"Stop being childish you say?" I say embrace your dork-ness and touch that inner child!

"What?!" you say? .....

"Yeah, duh... look at kids... If you can live life with that same "place" of passion, you'll have everything you need to be who you really are in that moment. And know this.... you may find yourself trying to compare these thoughts to your own childhood or others. Your looking back and around you... but look here. The topic of this is to embrace your inner child, not be "that" child.... Look at what makes people treasure kids.... Don't go saying,... "that's not my childhood' or 'my kids ain't like that'... ask yourself... 'what makes children cool?'

Lets make a list of how to get in touch with the kid inside of you, OK?

Work on relationships: Young kids don't let drama fuck up their friendships. All they care about is goofin off and horsin around. They don't worry about rejection. They don't see an end or separation. It's the adults that program worry, rejection and fear into them. Take the adult out of kids and you have innocent worry free faith. It's that inherent acceptance, that faith in others. Trust and see the best in others.

Ask Questions: Life is never about getting answers. Facts do not create reality. Reality is formed not only by the question being asked, but by who's asking it. How or why is not so important as how you feel about asking questions. What are kids like when they ask questions? Why, why, why.... It's not that they disbelieve or wish to really know why, they just want to know. They are like an empty sponge, seeking everything, see, feel, know, do, explore. They don't care how or why in regards to the question, they just want to know. That's a pure zeal for life. That's the same feeling behind the Original question. Who am I? It's that they are asking without any thought to limit. It's adults in human form that set limits. It's adults that create limits and mold children's questions to their world view. It's the adult that says, stop asking questions and toe my line.... If we as souls can return to exploring questions about who we are without limit, if we explore how we feel about questioning life, ourselves, and our reality, we will automatically be drawn to ask ever cooler questions. Which will give us better and better experiences.

Be cool: I say be cool, cause normally you get told, 'be happy', and then people get their panties all worked up in bunch.Look, you don't have to be a frickin Pollyanna. No one is saying shut ur trap and smile all the time. I am just saying be good, be cool. Don't just treat others as you'd be treated, but treat yourself and life like you deserve to be treated. See, this attitude is a life goal, mission, plan. A lifestyle too. It's not something like a switch you turn on and off if you've been stuck or some other way, It' a journey. You do your best, and take just one thing at a time. Take one thing, and say to yourself, "Is this cool?, Am I am being cool? Am I cool with? how can I make this cool?"... And what do you do if it aint cool? Shooot, you move on, let go, or help with change... It's when your making that conscious choice, taking that free will action or choosing that inaction with conscious awareness that you can find your happiness. Your comfort zone. That's where you can be happy and not worry. Just be cool.

Make it simple: Really, if it aint love, do you need it? Less can be more. When kids are playing, do they worry about what they do or don't have at the jungle gym? No, they are reaching for bars. What bar are you reaching for? That's all that matters. Doing. Not things. In that moment, they are not focusing on what new toy they have to have, or what they do or don't need. Or think they need. Same with life. Life can be about living more simply. Sure, that can seem impractical for a lot of people. Adults have debt, responsibility, bills, work, kids, spouses, sure you have to take care of that stuff cause their the effects of your original causes you put yourself into, created, or helped create. But doesn't mean you have to be so hard on yourself. It's the process of dealing with all that, that you can simplify. Step back just a tad bit, and take it one baby step at a time. Baby steps. Process can be simple too. No one said you have to slam yourself with life and drown under it's burden. You can slow down, taking one step at a time and still take ownership for your life. Once you do that you can focus on what you truly need vs want. Let go of what's not you, or in your best interest. Once you start to get a handle on that you will automatically do what's for the greater good, and life will seem much more simple and more about love. If it's not helping you express the love inside you, the joy, who you are... do you need it? Be simple, not simple minded.

Chill out: Stop, drop, and roll! Don't be so serious man..... Stop what your doing, close ya trap, sit down, and wrap your arms around yourself and say. I AM OK. I AM COOL, EVERYTHING IS going to be OK. See, look. Most people have lived many many lifetimes, and will live many many more. Life, this life, it's a tool to explore your awesomeness! Half of you don't really believe that. You are focusing soo damn tight that your balancing all your feelings on the tip of that old drill bit. You think youre screwing yourself, while life screws you. Shoot, stop it. Drop it, and roll over and look fricking up! Look at yourself. Think about who you are! You are not that drill bit, you are not that drill, you are the dudes and dudettes holding the drill. You are using a tool. You your soul. Look at you, feel you. You can let that drill sit on the charger on the shelf waiting for it to power up. You can cut yourself, you can drop it. But you can build a house for yourself, you can build a new you, you can even get a different tool. But you are the master craftsman. not the tool.. ... this life, sure it's important, but just chill, stop looking at the point and feel what you are creating from a bigger view. If your too focused, your not going to be able to help others build.

Act out love: A lot of times we all hear about putting others first, or do unto others as you'd do to yourself. Really that's so important, but a lot of time people forget to love themselves as well. They forget who they are. They get stuck on feeling that they need or have to do something for, to, or with others that ends up feeling like resistance and they start resenting life and others because of it. They forgot to give themselves some lovin. Now, normally, I'd say, dude, you need to go get laid, ha ha, but most of you would just go obsess on that, and not realize that what I really mean by that is that you need to treat yourself like your lover. You need to embrace yourself as your spouse, your friend, your child, your parent, your angel. You need to channel your love inside you, through you, as you, all of you and let it be who you are, flow around you and out. Don't be a hater, especially to your self. Don't worry about getting it wrong or messing up. Your perfect in every way, just how you are. You did not come to this life with failure as an option. So just think about what you say, think about how you act and ask yourself, "is this love?" "Is this who I am", "What about this situation would help me express the love inside of me?" If you ask that even some of the time, you will always act out of love, and it is who you are. Now some of you are gonna get worked up about not feeling it. That's OK too. You need to feel wherever you are at and not back down. What ever you're feeling you need to stare it in the eye and if it's you, embrace it, it's where your at. And if it's not.. Let it go and act out of love.

Change your wording: Most words have this intense weight of expectation, meaning, and this objective labeling on it, that totally warps subjective experience. The words create this sense of separation. Words that limit you. Words like, I cant, I don't, I don't want, I will never, This is, I should, shouldn't, If only, Someday I will, why can't, and on and on.....Over time, you start to believe these feelings and what you believe starts to energetically manifest your reality, and then pretty soon, you can't see nothin but darkness at the end of a tunnel. Really, shifting your energy is about perceiving who you are in a new light and then allowing your beliefs to manifest new feelings. You'll then find yourself reacting to life and your experiences in new ways and then you'll find reality changing for you. More Pollyanna right? Well, I know it all seems goody tooshoes, but I am serious. Every time you say a disabling phrase you so need to wash your mouth out with soap. Instead, stop, drop and roll. Look at yourself and say things like: I can, I will, I am getting better, I can do this today, Who I was yesterday doesn't limit or define me, together we are doing great things, I have, I am receiving, I am working, etc. See what I mean? It's literally about stop, dropping and rolling... And where did you first hear about that? Right, in kindergarten. School ... as a kid...

Play, laugh, Cry, get dirty, live with abandon and be uninhibited: You choose to be born again into physical life. Enjoy what you can. Feel it. You are here to work hard, do good, you can't help it. Just give it up and know you are awesome. I don't think you really understand just how much respect you got for choosing this path. Give yourself to what life you can. Let the only expectation for yourself be to know what love your capable of. I know I know, some of you are going to say, But Erik you didn't. That I gave it up. But look at who we are on a soul level. No one is an island to themselves. No one. We come to life together. Enmeshed, unified. We come out of love, out of desire to express love, to give love, to serve, to understand it and who we are through it. We come with this Divine mission. This is what I did, I came to live, I came to share, I came to help, to fulfill a role, to be, to see, to feel, and to help myself grow through others and my experiences, to transform experience into understanding... Again, it's about focus, are you gonna see yourself from the soul level or the eyeball level? So love yourself with abandon, live that love uninhibited, play and laugh and cry without guilt, shame, or worry.

Honesty: Keep it real. Be like the spirit you are. Tell it like it is on both sides of the coin. There aint no shame in truth if you keep it real, and true to who you are. You may not like the way that you look. Because society is giving you the duality shit that says you have to look one way other other. That's other peoples shit... hell, that aint even their shit, it's what's been told to them, bull. It's all a gimmick to get the soul to look within and see the real you. And that's beautiful. You can say to yourself, I don't feel pretty, but I have the chance to be awesome. I am going to take it, because what I can think, say, or do, what I can help with is real. And that's who I am. The light walking into a room is personal energy. It's a self honesty that is believed so strongly, felt so much that it's manifested real. It's your own personal truth, creating a subjective experience that is manifesting objective reality. Be honest. Who are you. Look at all the secret parts of you that bug you. Look at them. They are your secret weapon. Let your feelings about them flow around you, transform them, absorb them, reflect them. Let yourself look honestly at them and help you understand where your at. Once you have a starting point, you can decide where you want to go. Once you know that, you can start creating it or moving yourself to it. It's true, honest.
