You are evil!

[Mew3692002]

At least you know that they care enough to ask you sane questions huh?

[Erin Pavlina]

I love it when one day I get an email that tells me I'm a crazy satan worshipper and the next email I get is someone telling me how brilliant I am and how much they've been helped by my site.

Everyone's got their own perspective eh?

[rocket23]

I just read this -- I had asked this question a while ago:

Question: I want to believe in the afterlife but I have no personal experience to draw upon so I am assuming for now that we just fade into black when we die. Can you comment?

Answer: I'm a big proponent of personal experience in determining how things are so I understand why you cannot believe there is an afterlife. But you also have no personal experience with "fading to black" as you call it so why make that your default belief? Just say, "I don't know what happens when we die" and leave it at that until you get there.

You just blew my mind. Seriously. I got chills reading that simple, yet so profound response.

[Erin Pavlina]

Oh good. Sorry it took so long to get to the question. I sieved through 200 questions and grabbed all the ones I could answer short and sweet.

[Angela]

That "what happens when you die" question was my favorite, too.

[RTF671]

It's the only real lead we have to go on.

Oh, and as far as nightmares go I found the LoA works the best for me. Although, when I was a kid I had horrid nightmares multiple times a week. My dad had a friend who was a psychic and she gave us a piece of clear quartz that had a very visible fuzzy blue field inside it. It was inside the center of the quartz and made it translucent, but since it has decayed

What was it really? Can I charge it and what else can I do with it?

[Hari.c]

Thanks for the Q&A Erin. It's very interesting.

[Tobias Zimpel]

Hi Erin,

I laughed my a*s off when I read some of your answers, but there were a few very profound and inspiring insights for me. Thanks for this.

I'm really looking forward to some even longer answers to questions from your backlog!

[mkidd]

I loved this. mk

[Lallymac]

Loved it too.
The thing I don't get with christianity is that the bible's full of chaneller's and people who talk to dead people but if you or I do it we're mentally deranged. Are we s'posed to believe that it all stopped happening 2000 years ago? And, how hypercritical.

[gettingskinny]

this was a fun post!

[Erin Pavlina]

Lallymac, exactly! I really don't get why people think I truck with Satan. I mean, I looked into his health plan but God's was better. It was really a no brainer.

My friend who is very Christian told me that the Bible only says witches are to be stoned and that it's a Sin of the Flesh to do witchcraft and the like. Is there anything in the Bible that supports people communing with the dead and all that?

Isn't praying to Jesus a form of communing with the dead?

And what about that Communion "... Eat this wafer" thing?

Opps... guess I'll be joining you guys in hell.

LOL...........in the New Testament, after Jesus' cruxifiction, Mary and a few of the disciples, maybe more, all talked to Jesus!! (who was officially pronounced dead).

And all christians know,or should know, that most of the sayings of Jesus all fell on dead ears,, including some of theirs!! They especially couldn't understand the "Lords" (which does translate through several versions of language to mean law) ..the "Lord's", (laws) abilities of manifestation...healing, raising the dead, coming up with money from a fishes mouth, living in the momment and seeing the future for his life and others...........faith moving mountains....believing is seeing

Its all there......the blueprint of our own abilities......... the kingdom of light rules and we each have our gifts to offer!! You go Erin girl!!

[Erin Pavlina]

cool!

[Rose of Cairo]

oh damn, that was interesting! I especially liked the question about the language of the messages you get and the ones about the gender of our higher self and about wrong incarnations.

I met my higher self a few times while meditating and he was a man. Looked like an english gentleman of the 19th century. Well, at least I intended to meet my higher Self, I still have doubts if it was really him. Maybe that was just my fantasy, or my subconscious. I find it very difficult to connect to anything paranormal although I'd really like to. Anyway, that was a guy. In my dreams I'm a guy too. And when I dream that I have sex, I'm a guy having sex with a woman.

I'm fine with being a woman, I would never want to change my gender, and I'm not sexually attracted to women. Curious to know why I appear as a guy then. I really have to try a reading with you Erin! I'd love to know if you perceive me as male or female energy

[yossarian]

Erin, I need a short answer!!!

Q: Is it possible to have a vegan communion? I mean, does eating people count as eating animal products? Or does that fall into a different category?
