    We are blessed to have you in our world. Erik and you have given us so much. Please don't let these nasty humans hurt you any more. Just try not to read their horrible comments. There will always be doubters and sceptics just like in Jesus's time. We must all pull together and bring more spirituality and truth into this world. With love and peace.

    Elisa, first of all, God Bless you and your life's work. Please don't let these negative comments effect you. It's difficult, yes. But, the good outweighs the bad. It's so wonderful we are finally getting some straight answers about our spirituality ! You and Eik and all the rest of your team, are making such a difference in this crazy mixed up world. This fresh air that blows through humanity right now, is clearing the way for those of us who believe, to refresh our tired souls. Making room for newcomers to find their way too. Many are tired You and Erik, are bringing all of us much needed relief. I ask God to bless your efforts 10,000 times back to you in whatever way you may need. It is a privilege to be part of the "CE" family. I try to read as many interviews as possible! Thank you for all you do. ????????

    Key word is BALANCE. Sames rules apply as dealing with negative situations. They're there for us to learn and overcome. I'm quite sure the posts are more loving than not. Take heart, your mission is blessed. As Erik said " pray, send love into the heart of Earth, so it can radiate up ". Be ever so humble, there's no place like home. ♡♡♡

    Haters are gonna hate ... better to let them vent it out in a safe place rather than bottle up to explode somewhere inappropriate. Tolerance is tolerance for them, too, right? So, let them be stupid ... don't we all have our moments? Don't take it to heart, you lovely woman, it's probably not directed at you so much as at other frustrations within their own journeys (or maybe even at themselves). Even haters need compassion. Carry on in the knowledge that your journey continues to be a bright light to others and your guidance is deeply appreciated.

    Do what feels right for you, Elisa. That is always subject to change of course. Honor your feelings--we support you in that

    Don't shut the good out because of the bad.. i sometimes like to read the book or other you-tube suggestions people write. And the bad comments just help me to realise what i don't like and give me the freedom to choose not to be that way.. as well as the opportunity to forgive that person. Their words can only offend you if you validate them. If you shift your perspective to see their words as an opportunity to decide who you want to be in relation to them then you're able to turn a "negative" into a positive.
    Conversations With God (by Neale Donald Walsh) taught me that the bad allows the opportunity for humanity to experience what they don't like in order to instead decide to choose what they do like.

    Most negative comments are young lost souls who are craving for understanding but they are sorrounded with negative energies which they have hard time realizing.They are still sceptic in a certain point that they are confused. I think they have no structured beliefsystem for them as a Basis for spiritual understanding and they are not prepared for higher spiritual knowledge.I would encourage them to prior thier access to thier honest personal belief first, before joining the Group. Personally, any Act of striking direct negative comments must be" phrased" in a decent manner of writing ones idea, we are not confronting on a public streets , ones behavior in commenting depicts ones personal behavior. SORRY if I said it directly. I would suggest them to decently RE PHRASE thier comments in a proper way.

    Leave the comments off Elisa if they bother you even slightly. You aren't ignoring or hurting anyone by doing so and I would think you have endured enough.

  • Robyn E - 9 years ago

    I agree with John Watters even though I voted for disconnecting the comments, but only as a measure for your own protection Elisa. But is there any way for you to discipline yourself NOT to read them if you left the comments on??? You could have one or two of your team members peruse the comments to let you know (or print out) which ones would be nice for you to read. That way you could bypass the negative ones altogether.

    Look, I have been in the public eye myself for 20 years (I was a performer but not any longer) and if there is one thing I learned as a rule of thumb---IGNORE the haters, they have nothing to do with you, keep on your path and stay true to your purpose. There were times I would be devastated by ONE comment when there were hundreds of good ones. Funny how that happens. It may have been a very personal song that I wrote or an accolade I achieved in my career, and undoubtedly, there would be "that someone" who just wanted to tear it down. It felt like a stab in my heart; so up close and personal, you know? I came to learn that the mean spirited and negative comments are about THEM and NOT ME! Those comments come from THEIR powerlessness, THEIR jealousy and THEIR lack of recognition! They WANT attention! And they sure GET IT! Do they not?

    Take my advice, just press the "NEXT" button and keep on moving Elisa. You are doing a beautiful job! You are offering HOPE to MANY people who have not heard this message in the way that you and Erik are presenting it. Stay true to you and Erik's path and purpose. It is for a HIGHER PURPOSE altogether. It is to be treasured. So much love to you! I am with you 1000 percent!

    Elisa,
    Please don't let the comments of others bring you down. it's not you or Erik or
    Jamie. There's a free floating anger out there. Go to the comment section re any topic. Any video... You'll see the same type of poison.
    Don't allow that negativity in. You're still going through a healing process.
    You are helping a great many people and you are loved.

    Be strong! This country was founded by wise men who believed in free speech. Censorship on your part of anyone's speech is giving in! You've let them win! You've let them get the better of you! More importantly, let's think about this. Many people are coming to this for the first time and if they take the time to comment, however crude and hurtful, they are becoming that much more "aware" of the site and what is being spoken about. Who knows? Maybe something happens in a week, a month, a year that triggers that person to come back and read more. You have to let the people engage. One of my best friends is a blogger for an ACC football team. He gets hurtful comments everyday and his followers want him to block certain users if they say crude and hurtful comments. But he doesn't. Let them go. Their is a light around you. You cannot be harmed. Any hurtful comments one might say bring negative energy to themselves. Law of attraction right? Surround yourself with light as you do and continue. Let the world be what it will be. You can't control them. Give up control and let them say what they are going to say.

  • Lena - 9 years ago

    Oh wow - I really want to say that it doesn't matter, those cruel people are on a journey and they don't mean to be total (Insert any of Erik's fine expletives here) but of course it matters - it matters a great deal, you don't want to have to read cruel or hateful comments - why should you have too?
    You must do what you feel is right for you and your family. Those of us who support you, do so, no matter what you decide. Judging by the current vote tally, you have a back up of people here who only want to know that you're okay. That cat stevens song just popped into my head - 'If you wanna.....

    Dear Elisa: I want to thank you soooooo Very Much for all the work that you are doing!! You are AMAZING, and sooooo kind and hardworking, to share all of this wonderful and upbuilding information with us - AND FREE OF CHARGE, too!!! Oh, My!! We are so blessed because of the work that you do!!!

    I don't read the comments. But I understand that it might be difficult for you to ignore negative comments, because it is your channel and your work... and because you have a sensitive and caring heart. I'm just sad that you are experiencing pain from those who write mean-spirited and unkind comments. You definitely DESERVE BETTER THAN THAT!!!

    So, please do protect your own peace of mind. Do whatever it takes so that you don't lose your joy over mean comments. If you can't avoid reading the comments, I would recommend that you disable them. You are much too busy, generously expending your valuable energy in worthwhile pursuits, and giving to others, to be able to afford anything that is going to bring you down. :-) Please protect your own dear heart.

    Thanks again from the bottom of my heart and spirit, for all the good that you are doing!!!

    With Love and Thanks,

    Sue :-)

    Elisa, thank you for all the good you, Erik, and the channelers do. That's what's important.
    The people leaving mean comments don't do anyone any good in fact, I try not to read them because they make me feel so sad that they feel the need to hurt others. It detracts from the true spirit and meaning of the videos and blogs and run the risk of turning away people curious to find the truth.
    The times I've seen hateful comments, I wish I hadn't and it leaves me with a horrible feeling.
    I just don't see any good that comes out of mean spirited comments, they're just meant to hurt people. So please don't allow that to happen. Don't enable the haters.
    Keep up the good work. It really matters.

  • Wendy - 9 years ago

    Elisa, it really does not matter. Even the mean spirited ones must have watched the videos, and so a quiet little seed was gently planted.
    Please remember the many, many people that you, Erik, Jamie and the others have helped.
    Take joy in that.
    We all love you guys.

  • Leslie Dinga - 9 years ago

    I love reading the comments, but only when they are relevant, kind and open-minded. Sludging through the mean-spirited, judgmental, religious fanatical and ignorant comments is just too toxic for anyone who is on a spiritual journey. We just have to rely on the Blog for spiritual discussions that help us evolve and grow. It's enough that you have lost your child, you don't need anyone judging you on YOUR journey...its yours not anyone elses. I am just feeling grateful for the privilege to tag along as I lost my 24 year old son too. I know my Eric and your Erik have met and been up to some mischevious tricks here at my house. Carry on and remember when people say mean-spirited things, it is a reflection on WHO and WHAT they are. Peace and love.

  • John Watters - 9 years ago

    I'd say let them comment. But everyone needs to just IGNORE the bad ones. They'll get bored and go away without attention. And Elisa, you don't need to read any comments at all. Protect yourself. The discussions are for the viewers.

  • Lois Wood - 9 years ago

    I don,'t even want to imagine what others said. I know the difference you and Erik have made in my family's lives. I thank you both. You have provided the tools to all who seek them. It is time for us all to heal. You deserve a beautiful life. You brought a beautiful soul into the world. Abundant love and admiration.

    Dear Elisa,

    If I were in a similar circumstance, I too would have a terribly hard time trying to deflect the utter meanness that spews from some people just because it's the internet and they "can". Hiding anonymously behind a keyboard is a lot like displaying road rage from the safety of your enclosed vehicle. It's cowardly behavior that would never see the light of day in a face to face situation.

    That said, by disallowing all commentary, you - and by extension, all of us - are missing out on the love, support and appreciation which surely must make up the bulk of the comments. Not to mention the free exchange of ideas and information.

    Perhaps there is some balance to be found. Maybe a warning that negative comments will be deleted, with some moderating done by a trusted soul willing to take on the task. And sometime in the not too distant future, you may even find some catharsis in hitting that delete button yourself with a hardy, healthy and deliciously satisfying, "GOOD-BYE!" :)

    As you've probably guessed, I've voted to restore comments. But whichever is best for you is exactly what you should do at any given moment.

    Can't close without thanking you for all that you do to help alleviate the suffering of others and to share Erik's message of hope with the world. Truly Love in Action. ♥

    Much love,

    -Christine

    There will always be mean spirited people who want to drag others down. They do it for their own amusement. If you take it with a grain of salt, and feel sorry for their lack of understanding and compassion, you can be assured that you're non judgement is a good thing. Then you can move on. And you can hold steadfast to what's really good and true in this lifetime.
