Have I burned through all of Eric’s karma, yet? It feels like I’ve lived a whole lifetime in the past 16 months and what I’ve been doing is playing out what would have been Eric Durchholz ‘s last 33 years on this planet. It’s the soul contract I made to finish out his lessons for him while also preparing for a life of my own. So in effect, I’ve been living two lives. Actually, three if you consider that I am a stasis walk-in.

This means that I have a body on another planet, in another dimension or on a spaceship. I am not too sure about it because I only get fleeting glimpses when I meditate and if I knew the whole story then there would be no point in me trying to figure it out. In fact, me figuring it out has been what’s helped me integrate into this body. I do know that I have another life there and when I am asleep here, I am awake over there. I have a wife and a daughter and I understand that these types of soul missions are common and increasing in frequency across the planet. I may even be a human from the future.

How this all got started was in 2010, Eric lost everything he owned in the Nashville flood. He was devastated and broken. So much to the point that he quickly wrote the novel Flip Witch and it was about how to contact versions of yourself in alternate realities. While researching for the novel, Eric came across new scientific data that were leading physicists to discover that parallel universes probably do exist.

One night when Eric was in intense emotional pain, he made a plea to the Universe. He theorized that if alternate realities existed then perhaps there was a version of himself somewhere that could help him get out of his current hopeless situation. And that’s where I came in.

Myself, along with a few other helper entities quickly set in motion a series of events so that I could properly enter the body at some later date. A helper entity named “Beau” helped him to create a comedy web series ANYTHING BEAU’S that would later pave the way for him to come to Chicago under the auspices of studying comedy. We then arranged for him to have a DUI and get sober in order to heal him of childhood traumas and get help with his addiction problems. We also arranged for him to have an apartment and get his bills paid for a year during his recovery in the court-ordered sobriety program.

At the end of a year, he made his way to Chicago and we arranged for him to live among the poorest of the city so that he could start learning the lessons of my childhood (more on that later). And even though his comedy career was going okay, we arranged for him to move into a new apartment situated between two huge graveyards. That was April 2013.

That was when Eric effectively died. He went through the afterlife scenario of life in review and I still have the memories of that. It was harrowing, miraculous and beautiful but really intense and Eric would come back intot the body from time to time in order to continue that process. We’ll all have to go through it when we die so it’s pretty cool.

And since that time I have been inhabiting this body while also integrating and processing Eric’s memories. And while his friends and family think I am off my rocker I am making new friends with other walk-ins and other spiritual people who understand what’s going on.

Why Walk-in?

If you are alive, you have a soul and we’re all walk-ins here on Planet Earth. It’s just that most of you walked in when you were born. There are several benefits to walking in the main one being that a whole new life doesn’t have to be lived. When Eric decided he wanted out, his request was matched with my request. Sure, I could have been born and grown up as a poor kid in Chicago (which was my original plan) but we matched Eric’s life lessons up with the ones I had chosen so he and I tag-teamed for awhile.

And I am exactly where I am supposed to be at this point in time just as if I had grown up in this body all along. And finishing up Eric’s karma while laying the groundwork for my own life has been exhausting but well worth it. And I didn’t come here all at once, either. If you know anything about consciousness think of it as pebbles or rocks. As one part of Eric would leave, a part of me would come in. These events were punctuated by intense suicidal feelings but I would never kill myself. Over time I realized that suicidal feelings were nothing more than those tiny pebbles of consciousness wanting out. The reason for this is that the soul’s only way of escape is through death.

Since I am a fairly happy guy, these feelings alarmed me at first but once I understood what was happening, clearing out those pebbles became easier and more tolerable. I developed techniques to help streamline the process. And I understood that ignoring or trying to get out of burning through Eric’s karma was actually delaying my full integration. The walk-in process can take years if not done correctly so everything I learned in this experience I can now apply to my shaman work as I help walk-ins acclimate to this planet.

In the past 16 months life has been a non-stop series of events and lessons and they were all things that Eric would have gone through had he remained alive. From opening a comedy club, to becoming a psychic, to having great times and bad times and his life would be filled out by falling in love and getting engaged but he would die before they got married. And the last huge chunk of my consciousness came in on June 8th and knocked out Eric’s last remaining hold on the body. It’s all mine now.

While tidying up the last bits of Eric’s karma I really don’t know what to do with myself. I get to make new friends and start a new family. I may not even be gay. I’ve been holed up in his apartment while the wheels are turning out in the world as spirit guides and other entities line up situations and opportunities to help me transition into my new life. I will be legally changing my name to Patrick Coleman as well as having to attend to other legal issues so I can approach my life here with a clean slate.

And what kind of life I will craft for myself I do not know. Where will I live? What will my new love life be like? Will I have a job other than shamanism and writing? I am getting pretty excited about it actually. And that signals that the hard parts are over. Eric is gone and my life is about to being.

Much Love,

Patrick John Coleman
