- 0:12Speaker 1: of them being that voice. I've spent the past ten
- 0:15Speaker 1: years and more sharing conversations with those on NBC's The Voice. Well,
- 0:20Speaker 1: this isn't about catching up. This is about reliving that
- 0:24Speaker 1: moment while they were on the show and where are
- 0:27Speaker 1: they today? That voice on ero dot net, r r
- 0:31Speaker 1: oe dot net. Enjoy your exploration. Do you believe in resurrections?
- 0:40Speaker 1: They happen every day? But are you willing to listen,
- 0:43Speaker 1: to participate, and to explore newer ways to understand your
- 0:47Speaker 1: personal journey? This podcast isn't about what we study and
- 0:50Speaker 1: see through the eyes of religion. My boy boy, Ernie
- 0:54Speaker 1: spoke with me every chance we had together. But this
- 0:56Speaker 1: isn't about resurrecting a spiritual brother of nearly thirty four years.
- 1:01Speaker 1: This resurrection is that of a writing instrument, verbal documentation
- 1:05Speaker 1: of what some may call a vision quest. Trusting the
- 1:08Speaker 1: great mysteries of life. Tools are handed to us to
- 1:12Speaker 1: carve out each expectation. This tool was laid to rest
- 1:16Speaker 1: inside a forest floor to experience the elements of reality
- 1:21Speaker 1: while connecting with a universe that unconditionally shares its stories.
- 1:26Speaker 1: But who's writing it? Welcome to the Resurrection?
- 1:34Speaker 2: And again I ask, am I waking up a spirit
- 1:39Speaker 2: guider keeper that is not supposed to be woken up?
- 1:44Speaker 2: Because the last time that I put my boy boy
- 1:46Speaker 2: Ernie writing instrument into the soil is when things really
- 1:49Speaker 2: started to go bad, wrong, out of tune. And I thought, okay,
- 1:56Speaker 2: let's just with the my boy boy writing instrument, the
- 1:58Speaker 2: one for Ernie. It's not going to happen to this
- 2:01Speaker 2: one that's inside this park can And what's happened is
- 2:07Speaker 2: is that, Yeah, the bad luck continued. Our shades aren't
- 2:14Speaker 2: working inside the RV.
- 2:16Speaker 1: They aren't.
- 2:16Speaker 2: No, all the strings are broken. How is that even possible?
- 2:21Speaker 2: The air conditioning is out one hundred percent, and the temperatures,
- 2:26Speaker 2: the heating index over one hundred degrees. All of these
- 2:30Speaker 2: things that are negative, the things that we were supposed
- 2:34Speaker 2: to work on, we couldn't get to because it just
- 2:37Speaker 2: wasn't working. There's like something standing in the walk and
- 2:41Speaker 2: way of this process. And I often wonder again, if
- 2:46Speaker 2: I am waking up a spirit, guide or beast that
- 2:49Speaker 2: is not supposed to be back up here again. And
- 2:52Speaker 2: that's why I do try to make amends with the
- 2:55Speaker 2: soil of this forest, saying I am not here to injure,
- 2:58Speaker 2: I am here to listen. I am a student of life,
- 3:01Speaker 2: I am a hugger of trees, I am a lover
- 3:04Speaker 2: of wind. I will whistle with a rainstorm. Don't bring
- 3:10Speaker 2: the bad juice, please, Slipping on my Mucluck style shoes.
- 3:22Speaker 2: Basically because I'm headed into the forest. This would be
- 3:25Speaker 2: the day of the Third Rising when it comes to
- 3:28Speaker 2: my boy, boy pan and God, it's been so dry.
- 3:33Speaker 2: Unlike where we were with the Cane Creek forest as
- 3:36Speaker 2: well as the McDowell forest, it was so easy to
- 3:39Speaker 2: get into where the writing instruments are. But this particular one,
- 3:44Speaker 2: as I'm here right now above the area where he
- 3:48Speaker 2: is resting, overlooking this beautiful forest, I really don't know
- 3:53Speaker 2: where the writing instrument is because it's been so This
- 3:56Speaker 2: is gonna be the first time that I can't do
- 3:58Speaker 2: this with my fingers digging into the soil right now.
- 4:04Speaker 2: Somewhere in here there it is, there's the writing instrument.
- 4:08Speaker 2: My God, I can't I guess This is my first
- 4:10Speaker 2: introduction to how dry it's really been. God, this is
- 4:16Speaker 2: like going into sandstone. We had a lot of sandstone
- 4:19Speaker 2: in the state of Montana with the rims the palisades
- 4:22Speaker 2: of the Yellowstone is what Louis and Clark called him.
- 4:25Speaker 2: But this, because it's been so dry, is just as
- 4:28Speaker 2: hard as that. Oh my God, Oh Jesus. While I
- 4:33Speaker 2: touched the writing instrument and its protective case just falls
- 4:38Speaker 2: apart in my hands. That is something I did not expect.
- 4:43Speaker 2: That's gonna be a game changer from this day forward,
- 4:46Speaker 2: because the writing instrument will have to go into the
- 4:48Speaker 2: soil at least two more times before the first anniversary
- 4:53Speaker 2: of ern East transition. Oh, it is bathed. The writing
- 4:58Speaker 2: instrument is its protective case didn't do what a protective
- 5:03Speaker 2: case does. As I stand here inside this forest, Oh
- 5:09Speaker 2: my God, Ernie's feathers are just naturally taken over by
- 5:15Speaker 2: mother Nature and its.
- 5:18Speaker 3: Curse.
- 5:19Speaker 2: And is that what it is? Is it really a curse? Oh,
- 5:22Speaker 2: there's damage. I thought there was damage the last time.
- 5:26Speaker 2: But you know what this does. This develops my relationship
- 5:29Speaker 2: with a planet Earth that doesn't let things get in
- 5:32Speaker 2: its way. We may try to spoil it. We may
- 5:35Speaker 2: try to move it, we may try to give it
- 5:38Speaker 2: a brand new identity. But the one thing I'm learning
- 5:40Speaker 2: about the planet Earth is that it says I'll do
- 5:43Speaker 2: whatever you want, but I'm gonna shape shift before your eyes.
- 5:48Speaker 2: And by the time you take and by the time
- 5:50Speaker 2: you take note of how I've changed everything above and below,
- 5:56Speaker 2: you could be long gone and you left no notes.
- 6:05Speaker 3: Welcome back to my tiny little place with my boy
- 6:07Speaker 3: boy Ernie a Green Kanye, who spent thirty four years
- 6:11Speaker 3: with me inside this unbelievable forest in South Charlotte, North Carolina.
- 6:16Speaker 3: And I'm the weird writer, the poet, the communicator, the
- 6:19Speaker 3: podcaster who feels that where my boy is is that
- 6:24Speaker 3: I want to plant a writing instrument there for an
- 6:26Speaker 3: entire year, but every thirty four days, I want to
- 6:29Speaker 3: bring it out so it can sit in the same
- 6:31Speaker 3: exact area that Ernie did when he would overlook this
- 6:35Speaker 3: forest twenty three feet above the forest floor. But my
- 6:38Speaker 3: question has been over the past three quarters of a year,
- 6:42Speaker 3: is that am I destroying the fung guy beneath the
- 6:46Speaker 3: surface of the soil, Because that's the reason why I'm
- 6:48Speaker 3: putting the writing instrument in the soil is so that
- 6:51Speaker 3: the communication that takes place between the fung guy, the
- 6:54Speaker 3: roots and everything else involved, even the insects and the termites.
- 6:59Speaker 3: Am I ruining that connection by returning that writing instrument
- 7:03Speaker 3: to the soil? And science has a very good answer
- 7:06Speaker 3: on this, and the answer is no, I'm not destroying
- 7:09Speaker 3: anything in the periods that I'm doing it, because fung
- 7:13Speaker 3: guy itself is very quick to recover when it comes
- 7:16Speaker 3: to a situation like that. So what happens is is
- 7:19Speaker 3: that they do suggest that you make sure that you
- 7:22Speaker 3: put it in the same place. But the problem is
- 7:25Speaker 3: that by inserting it in the same place every time,
- 7:28Speaker 3: frequently over several months, that what you could do is
- 7:31Speaker 3: create an actual small zone where the fungal growth is
- 7:35Speaker 3: actually reduced. And I've got to keep my eye on
- 7:37Speaker 3: that and be very careful as I put this writing
- 7:40Speaker 3: instrument back in the soil here in the next few days,
- 7:42Speaker 3: because it will be the fourth quarter that it's going
- 7:45Speaker 3: in there, and it's going to be longer than thirty
- 7:46Speaker 3: four days, because I want to take it up to
- 7:48Speaker 3: the actual date that Ernie entered the forest for good,
- 7:52Speaker 3: and that was January two, twenty twenty six. So I'm
- 7:55Speaker 3: going to wait until the twenty seventh to make sure
- 7:57Speaker 3: that that happens. It's a very interesting question about am
- 8:01Speaker 3: I disturbing the fun guy because scientists instantly sat up
- 8:05Speaker 3: on this and they said that it's a great way
- 8:07Speaker 3: to reconnect and repair different things that take place beyond
- 8:12Speaker 3: what the eye can see, and that digging and tilling
- 8:15Speaker 3: and with heavy foot traffic, it kind of does some
- 8:18Speaker 3: stuff to the soil, but it's not damaging it. But
- 8:20Speaker 3: it is kind of like a massage in the way
- 8:23Speaker 3: of allowing that fung guy to become stronger in the
- 8:25Speaker 3: areas that we can't see. And of course they're asking
- 8:28Speaker 3: the question, are you marking this for a future location
- 8:31Speaker 3: for forced observation? And the answer is yes, because I
- 8:34Speaker 3: don't want this to stop at just one writing instrument.
- 8:37Speaker 3: I would like to put several writing instruments in the
- 8:39Speaker 3: soil because this force has been a part of my
- 8:41Speaker 3: life since nineteen ninety two, and Ernie's not the only
- 8:45Speaker 3: one that has been blessed by the love and the
- 8:47Speaker 3: sunshine from this force. But the good news is is
- 8:50Speaker 3: that I do encourage you to try to do the
- 8:53Speaker 3: same thing. Find a very special place where you can
- 8:56Speaker 3: plant a writing instrument. I did it in the original
- 8:59Speaker 3: bo that I got it from, And I'm not talking
- 9:02Speaker 3: about a big instrument or a pencil. I guess you
- 9:05Speaker 3: can use that, but I was thinking of something a
- 9:07Speaker 3: little bit more personal and a little bit closer to
- 9:10Speaker 3: your mind, body and soul, because you're going to be
- 9:13Speaker 3: using that writing instrument for the rest of your life.
- 9:15Speaker 3: I've got a writing instrument here that I've had for
- 9:17Speaker 3: over thirty years. How is that even possible? It has
- 9:20Speaker 3: because time goes by quickly and you take care of
- 9:23Speaker 3: your tools. So really the goal here is to kind
- 9:25Speaker 3: of inspire you to do the same. I've got three
- 9:28Speaker 3: writing instruments in the soil throughout the Carolinas right now,
- 9:31Speaker 3: and I'd like to get those numbers up to thirty
- 9:33Speaker 3: or forty so that this way I can go and
- 9:36Speaker 3: I can listen to so many stories from beneath the soil.
- 9:41Speaker 3: And why am I inspired by this? There's a side
- 9:43Speaker 3: of me that sits there and says, is this because
- 9:46Speaker 3: of stranger things and the underworld? Is there something that
- 9:50Speaker 3: we don't know? And am I tapping into it?
- 9:53Speaker 2: I'll see you next time.
- 10:03Speaker 1: The Resurrection is a true story learn more about it
- 10:06Speaker 1: and the forest, as well as my boy boy Ernie
- 10:08Speaker 1: at Ero dot net, aarre dot net. His story, his journey,
- 10:13Speaker 1: his path with a writing instrument are available on the
- 10:16Speaker 1: podcast The lyrics from Ernie's Forest. Future episodes of this
- 10:20Speaker 1: podcast will focus on the transition of materialistic value to
- 10:24Speaker 1: that of an authentic storyteller. The ice storms, a record
- 10:27Speaker 1: setting eleven inches of snow, The fear of walking to
- 10:30Speaker 1: the gravesite to find nothing inside, the resurrection, faith, hope,
- 10:35Speaker 1: forgiveness and discovery. What lessons will this writing instrument bring
- 10:39Speaker 1: back to the surface of walking forward? Let it rise
- 10:43Speaker 1: above our tears.
