I'm most interested in your entries about lucid dream(world)s, astral projection, psychic abilities, spirituality and other intriguing 4th dimentional occurrences because this is the area of my life I'm most distant from.

Erin,

Thanks for asking.

I really could vote for all the choices, but that would be almost like voting for none of them. You have a good mix of topics. At the moment I'd like to see more "paranormal, lucid dreaming, psychic development, etc." But just as important is "more podcasts." Your voice is delightful and deserves to be heard more often.

Perhaps you could do guided meditations. I imagine that many of us would enjoy them.

Default Lessons from the spirit world

Erin, I would like to hear the messages the spirits have for us. Something like Steve's recent post on desire that he got from channeling.

I would also like a series of posts that attempts to describe the "worlds" beyond our worlds. What/who else is out there? What is the big picture? What is the grand purpose of all of these worlds, how do they all fit together? For example, what is the back-story behind spirits incarnating/re-incarnating as humans - what exactly is this spiritual growth they are seeking from their earthly experiences - to what end?

You have given us some answers through your posts on your astral experiences, but what I am asking for is the whole story - write an epic book like the Bible or the Mahabharatha if you have to . I know I am asking for a lot, but you are one of the rare people who actually has access to this knowledge, and it would be a great gift to all of us.

Thanks.

I've always been most interested in your personal experiences with astral projection and lucid dreaming, as well as insights into the afterlife. Also, these are the topics that Steve doesn't emphasize as much.

Erin,
I honestly like what you write. I think you've got a nice mix as it is. The truth of the matter (for me anyway) is that you should write whatever comes to mind. I have yet to find something that you (and Steve for that matter) write that I don't enjoy. If, however, you write something that totally offends me, I can just move on and wait for the next thing you write. sorry for all the parens.

At the risk of sounding a bit clichè, You and Steve have touched my life. I am one of the many who got into blogging because I saw how passionately Steve does it and is rewarded handsomely for it, financially and spiritually.

As for you, my friend, I credit YOU with reigniting my joy of lucid dreaming. Don't believe me? Check out the alt text for your link on my blog

Keep writing. I love it all.

I second that. When I came across your site, it had been years since I had been interested in dreaming.

Hi Erin!

I would love to read more about your paranormal experiences.. That's what got me hooked onto your blog in the first place. I'm not sure why, maybe because of the way you write and express yourself, but I've trusted you from the beginning and known that you wereren't just some scam artist.

And because of that trust, your paranormal experiences are just as true to me as if I experienced them myself, and that seriously alters my perspective. (Too bad I've never experienced it firsthand!) I'm sure a lot of your readers feel this way too.

That being said, I think everything you've written so far is worthwhile and helpful. Keep blogging!

<3 Jenny

I have to vote for lucid dreaming, psychic phenomena, and astral projection (we still didn't get the story of you and the demon!)

I love all your blogs, Erin. I am most interested in meditation, contacting the higher self and spirit guides and ways to achieve better "communication" with these beings. I also enjoy your personal stories. I really have no complaints about what you have blogged thus far, and find I get something spiritually out of each and every one. I am thankful for the day in October when I happened upon this site. It has transformed my life and validated many of the beliefs I held silently for so long.

The demon story would take an entire book to explain if I wanted to do it justice. I wrote a fictional account of my experience in a book entitled The Dark Goddess, but never published it. I debate whether releasing it as an ebook would be of benefit since the real story is embedded in the fictional account. I wonder if people would rather read the fictional version than no version at all, since I don't plan to write that story as non-fiction any time soon.

There is an amazing synchronicity in your writing as it is. Both you and Steve have a knack for telling me what I need to hear when I need it. (Funny how that works! )

That aside, like Gratin I am most interested in hearing/learning more about meditation and achieving better communication with my higher self and spirit guides.

For some reason, fiction just doesn't do it for me. Perhaps it is less exciting than real life, or perhaps it is just my own daily preoccupation with fiction and stories through singing. Real life is fascinating.

Erin I personally think you should focus more on Practical things. Such as HOW to do telelkinesis, ESP, channelling etc...etc...stories are all well and good but I would really like to see some techniques. Some things that worked for you etc...

Regards,
Phil

As Lola said, you both really do have a fun way of writing about what I am most needing to read.

I really enjoy your personal anecdotes, and would love to read more of your experiences and experiments -- how you feel about them, what meaning you create -- currently, as they freshly come up. Especially the practices you have in creating your days.

Yep - I'm agreeing with most here -- so far, what you've been moved to write is perfect! I love hearing personal stories (the one about your daughter and the dresser is what brought me here in the first place!); I'd love to hear more about connecting with our spirit guides; I love hearing about your past and things you've learned in your "travels"... I'd enjoy reading about compassion and connection, and would love to hear your voice in more podcasts! lol I don't think you can go wrong, here!

Hello Erin,

I admire that you take care and concern in trying to help others, as opposed to merely writing about things for your sole benefit. I would like to extend a sincere thanks for asking for some feedback.

I was first drawn to your blog due to your insights and thoughts on your paranormal experiences. You've done a great job of balancing your explanations of the supernatural (things that most of us don't experience first hand) with a healthy dose of critical thinking and reasoning (things that most of us do experience first hand). This has provided your blog (and your psychic readings) with credibility and wisdom; I have not always been able to receive that when reading or listening to others who may have supernatural gifts. I find this to be one of your greatest talents. There are many paths to finding "truth" in life, and the path you have illuminated for me has been profoundly intriguing and enlightening, especially since I am more of a 3-dimensional gal.

Your thoughts are opening up new possibilities for how I may see the world, and for this, I am very grateful. Science has repeatedly shown us that our senses only reveal to us a limited range of the real "stuff" out there. For example, we can't see x-rays, but we have finally found ways to detect they exist. Since you experience things differently from most of us *and* exhibit a good deal of credibility, I find myself captivated by your words and coming back for new insights.

Of course, while I appreciate your desire to help others, I also hope that you continue to enjoy the process of blogging and do things that appeal to your personal growth as well. Giving and receiving are very reciprocal. (So if you really want to share fiction, go for it, too! We're all friends here.)

Many thanks and warm wishes,
Jennifer

Sometimes all it takes to give someone hope is to come home and read a story about the kindness and compassion that's so palpably missing from his or her everyday life.

I wish you would write more on these topics.

Default Consider a seperate blog for fiction..

Hi Erin,
Jeremy Bennett here =)
I would echo the general above comments - re: your blog, love your 4th dim. stuff, spirit guides, personal experiences, and stories about love and compassion.

How about creating a seperate blog (on this site) that would be for your fiction /short stories (I think it scored low because not many have read your fiction work, incl. me =)

..from what I've heard, re: blogging, that's the way to do it: create different blogs for different subjects, thereby keeping your fan base for your current blog (and expanding it, for other areas, w/other blogs) as well.

Keep up the good work!

Jeremy

I love your writing style and what I enjoy reading most from your blog are your personal experiences. Weather it be about lucid dreaming, kindness, fears, dreams, paranormal experiences, psychic experiences, etc. I also have enjoyed your podcasts very much. Thank you for all of your stories!
