The Three Musketeers

I love the banter between Jason, Robert and Erik, so, with their permission, I share it today with you. Enjoy Jason’s blog journal about his spiritual awakening as well as the interaction that Erik has with him and Robert. Every prank, silly face and sayings are so undeniably Erik that I find it comforting. The Erikness has not died along with his body. That makes me so happy!

Jason’s Journal Entry

9/25–I’ve had some bad news delivered at work this past week. A friend and co-worker of mine fell and is in the ICU with head trauma. I am pretty sad about it and a selfish part of me was wondering if my guides or Erik could give me any information about it. I knew I shouldn’t ask, other than to pray for the friend. Pray that whatever be God’s will that it would turn out OK. That people would be comforted, and feel their loved one’s comfort. So I asked rather if my guides or Erik had any words of wisdom on the situation, or what kind of things I should be asking. *(note-I do not consider myself a psychic only someone struggling down the path of trying to connect to Spirit. Meaning you should not take what I am told as holding true for psychics or other mediums-everyone has their own path).

I am afraid I am not that happy with the answer I got. Because I don’t think it feels fair and it kinda hurts. But the only answer I could get was the following: “She’s not alone, her Spirit family is with her.”, We are not fortune tellers and so much depends on the actions of the medical staff and her family. There are many paths she could go” “Many times it hurts too much for loved ones to know and understand the reasons why things happen the way they do. It is not beneficial to know now.” “The grief is too strong” “You must accept what is given to you and accept what can not be given to you”. “You have no idea the role she or this event is supposed to play in the lives around her, such as her family or the medical staff or even you.” “It does not seem right or fair, but there is always a reason”. “Take comfort in that she is not alone. Her Spirit family is with her.”

9/24–late at night. Woken up from half sleep. Feeling sad about a friend in the hospital. For the first time Erik brought forward someone who had a message for me. An old coworker who had died this past year. “A._.”-(name hidden for privacy)- I did not really know her but worked with her for several years and knew of her for a lot longer. She was a lot older than me and died of cancer. I wasn’t friends with her other than a friendly office acquaintances with her and in fact other than feeling really bad about her passing and guilt for not attending her memorial I’ve not thought of her since. In fact, off an on in the far past I am embarrassed to say, that I had gossiped and said some less than nice things about her to some people. Of which I am really sorry for.

Well, Erik came and stepped back and she appeared by my bed in my minds eye. I could distinctly see all her features and she looked exactly like I remembered her right down to the really bright -loud knit sweater she was fond of. I was kind of in shock. She said she appeared this way because this was how I remembered her. She told me that she forgave me for the things I said about her and not to worry. She then verified what I’d been told by Erik and my guides regarding knowing the future of people in crisis, AKA my friend in the hospital. She said that during the “here and now” of the trauma/event, that it was often not the right time to know or understand the reasons of it. That only after the event and the perspective time gives can we have the opportunity to fully understand the reasons behind it. But that even then the answers may really hurt and seem unfair. But that God lets things happen for a reason. It’s not up to us to judge those reasons. Only to try to learn from them.” Then without another word, she was gone. I was kinda stunned. Why her? I would have never in a million years thought she would come to me. This is the 3rd spontaneous channeling of other people event that has happened since Erik showed up.

It is difficult for me to focus enough to document the numerous encounters I have with Spirit because of day to day distractions, but I had to do so on this one with Erik and Jen because it was so funny and heartwarming…at least to me… :-) it isn’t very lengthy, but the other night around midnight I got an unusually fierce craving for spicy Mexican food…

Robert’s Email

“OK Erik, what’s with giving me a sudden craving for Mexican food!!”, I exclaimed. All I hear from him is laughter and I see him doing his silly version of a Mexican Hat dance, with Jen sitting on the side covering her mouth and giggling…silliness! Now he’s trying to get her up for a dance. She’s sitting down shaking her head “No”…her body language saying, “Not in a million years are you gonna get me out on the dance floor with you while you ham it up!” She and I have the same mindset…not one to clown around unless we feel like it. Hold your ground Jen!! :-) Erik’s says to me “Butt out Mister!”, in his usual playful tone and body language. I have so much fun watching their interactions with each other! I can’t wait to meet my soulmate! Hopefully he’ll be half as lively and goofy as Erik! Way to go Jen on landing such a great catch! Erik’s giving me an “Aw shucks” while looking down and sliding his foot side to side…his face visibly blushing…

Robert

Jason’s Response

SHUT UP! OMG, he’s given me that hat dance too! I thought it was just too ridiculous to even mention!

I just look in horror at him and he just gives me that hands out, “WHAT???… “ Last night he told me to put salsa on tuna fish. what’s up with that?! How can you want salsa but not fresh tomatoes???!

Robert’s Response

LOL!! he loves being playful! salsa on tuna fish doesn’t sound all that appetizing to me…at least not canned tuna…perhaps a tuna steak though…and you definitely need fresh tomatoes , cilantro, jalapenos, and avocados! jeez, I’m getting hawngry now!! I hear Erik laughing with waaayyyy to much glee! heehee

Robert

My Response

Ha! Erik loves Mexican food better than any other type! The spicier the better. Oh, and Kim told him he was so handsome and he turned crimson so I know he can blush!!

Love you, my babies,

Elisa

Robert’s Response

:-) he and I share that trait (blushing)!! we both blush very easily and turn beet red! I LOVE spicy food…but usually Thai, Indian, that sorta stuff…he says nothing better than “Messican”! I think I spelled that the way it sounds…heehee

Love you dearly “second mom”! :-)

Robert

Jason’s Journal Entry

Spiritual food for thought, an introspective.

All my life I’ve had spiritual or paranormal experiences but since this past spring they’ve exploded with ever incrementing frequency and meaning. It seemed each event was for a purpose. *to get my attention, *to provide subjective proof, *to set me on a path to learn, *to turn my life around, *to teach, *to conquer fear and doubt, etc.

SO all this happens. BOOM BOOM BOOM, and then a lull….Why? Why a lull? Why are there moments of silence? During those periods all the lessons I previously learned piles up in my head and start spinning in self examination. Which sometimes leads to negative feelings.

To anyone reading this it will be plainly apparent that I struggle with a lot of petty emotional things. Life is good. No, life is really really good for me. But I still find myself becoming distraught over peoples problems. And then when I can’t help or fix it for them I find my self feeling dejected and sad. Almost as; if there is not anyone who blatantly ‘needs me’ that surely I can’t possibly help anyone else. And I then let it fester in my self worth. If no one needs me then surely no one loves me. What kind of egotistical cr*p is that?!

Last night; the “Ethereal gang” was silent. Which led me to hold a pity party for myself. Over and over in my head– thoughts of why do I feel this way? What is wrong with me? I have everything I could have ever wanted and I feel hollow, lonely, empty and weird. What is my problem? Pleas to spirit met with silence. Then a distant, “Figure it out yourself”. So with a bad attitude I rolled over to the bliss of sleep.

Well, This morning Erik popped in and out to check on me. I call them his “HUG-and fly” moments. It’s like I’ll turn my head see a shimmer and the my head or left side gets flashed with heat and then it fly’s away. Well, during this I can also have tentative brief words exchanged. This mornings words were, “Try harder”.

Today’s morning walk was a walk with Erik in silence. He met me at the elevator and we walked to the river. He’s fascinated with river barges. But today’s walk was in silence. I was lost in introspection. I was thinking about things He, his mom and Robert have said to me off and on. Then on the way back up crossing the river I had an epiphany. Nothing I’d not heard before; But, it really hit home hard.

Why do I allow my happiness to be contingent on others well being? Why do I think I don’t deserve every happiness that life and God has to offer. I need to give myself permission to seek it all. I need to tell my self it’s OK to be happy. That no matter the pain, that I deserve happiness. “See happiness as much as you can, where ever you can and love will always find you.”

My Response

Yay! You get it!!!! Yes! You need to give yourself permission to love yourself. Remember this is the path to happiness. Lincoln once said, “People are just as happy as they’ve made up their minds to be.” So true. So love yourself up, kiddo. You ARE Love. There is nothing else. Fear is the absence of Love, and that’s no fun at all. Love yourself because you ARE Love. How can you not love Love?

I’m so happy! Now, put that all into practice. Give yourself the hugs that Erik gives you. Tell yourself how wonderful you are. This world is lucky to have you in it.

Hi Jason!

Telepathy for me feels like natural conversation…but only I can hear and “see” it. In my minds eye I see what Erik and Jen are doing based on what we are chatting about at the time. for instance, if we are teasing…I see them laughing and interacting lovingly. if it is small talk, I just hear the words, and when Erik is getting into it, I’ll start to see Erik pacing and using animated gestures. if we are chatting about serious stuff…like how to guide someone through something, or how someone is doing emotionally at the moment, he takes on a “serious” energy, stance, and tone. he’ll cross his arms, pace, and have this look like he’s concentrating. his face gets serious too. sometimes I just hear the words if I am busy doing something….like when I’m driving or shopping. speaking of shopping…he’s always trying to get me to buy stuff that I totally wouldn’t buy…it’s like having a little kid with me…he wants all the sugary cereals for instance…heehee. when Erik really wants to get my attention, like when I was watching Iron Man 2 the other night, I could see him in sitting in my recliner making the pig face, and when that didn’t work he changed to sticking his tongue out with his thumbs in his ears and other fingers outstretched…I call that the naa naa na boo boo face. :-) he was really hyped that night cause he’d been looking forward to me putting the movie on. when I started watching it, he and Jen were around during all the cool parts…such as the fight scenes, special effects scenes, etc. he REALLY wants me to go out and buy that movie. I said I prolly would and he cheered…when I re-emphasized prolly, I saw him doing this puppy dog pouty face…chin down into his neck…looking doe eyed and bottom lip extended…he’s so cute when he does that…heehee…He knows how to work me! :-)

Hopefully this is helpful to you. :-) it’s just like talking…no difference for me…I guess all my past lifetimes have made this as effortless as it is. I suppose it is also why I’ve not had to get into all the technical aspects of the process as I’ve noticed some have. I’ve no doubt I’ll still need to read up some though…so I’ll know what I need ask for instance. right now, though it is very much a fun, playful, friendship and confidant. oh, I don’t just get Erik anymore…now I get all sorts of Spirits, such as Lydia (one of your guides)…it is mostly Erik, Jen, and my guides…but some pop in if they specifically want to tell me something or if I ask for them. :-)

3. When my now 21 year old son was in his mid-teens he spent a lot of time online playing games etc and he referred to those people as his friends. I could not understand how he considered people he had never met or spoken to in person as friends…I get it now.

11. OH!!! Yeesss–very, very spicy Mexican food rules!!! We actually own two fantastic Mexican restaurants here in Utah (Blue Iguana in SLC & Park City)and we have seven of the most fantastic moles anyone has ever tasted. For those of you who have never tasted mole, it is the equivalent of any delicious gourmet sauce you have ever eaten, or perhaps think ‘Mexican gravy’–very deliciously unique & complex and created to compliment whatever main ingredient it is paired with. (Not all are hot, nor do they all have chocolate in them–just yummie) I am the ‘decorator’, so I am usually there late at night, so that I am not interfering with business as usual. So dear Erik, please feel free to come and ‘raid the walk-in’ with me, anytime you want some great Mexican fare and bring Jen, too!
12. And to Denise, my son Remington, who is 19 and has been playing an on-line game for several years now; he also has made some good friends via his gaming activities–just like we are all doing here, on Elisa’s blog.
13. Much Love and Great Food Wishes to All.

    • I always say that if I were on a deserted island and could only have one type of food, it’s Messican all the way!!! (Plus, those margarita’s aren’t too bad, either.)

17. Wouldn’t it be great if we all could figure out a way to have direct communication with our guides, or those in spirit (like Erik, etc?). I suppose it takes practice and patience, like meditating a lot and clearing one’s mind. My mind is always going so I imagine it’s hard for spirit to get through.
18. And who is Jen? Is Jen a friend of Erik’s who passed before him?

    • It seems like Jen is the name of his girlfriend over there. He never had a really girlfriend before so I’m very happy for him. Maybe I should ask how they met and other questions about my possible future daughter in law!

26. You young men are so honest with your feelings and so introspective about important emotional and spiritual things that it is refreshing. Society pictures young men as selfish and heartless that you are a breath of fresh air.
27. With regard to your friend’s injury, is this thought of any value? Maybe ask Erik if this is true: What I understand from a lot of people who have led powerful spiritual lives for many years and who seem to have deep wisdom, is that a lot of our experiences are to show whether we have grown to TRULY trust Source. So, if we have spiritual wisdom and a loved one has a head injury, we will certainly care, but we will have greater equanimity because we genuinely know on a deep level that whatever happens serves an important purpose and is for the individual’s and group’s greater good and we trust Source in that regard.
28. Thus, when we do Ho’oponopono to clean up karma, and we say, “I love you; I’m sorry; please forgive me; thank you,” we are saying to SOURCE “I’m sorry that I didn’t trust you.”

    • Hey Skoshi, I bought the book you recommended and can’t wait to start reading it. From what you describe, it seems so simple and elegant in its message.
