Hitchhiker's Guide to Humanity

Short episodes | Big perspective shifts

Ever wonder why we're here or why we have to pay bills, feel our feelings, and somehow stay sane in a society that caters to the greedy and rich? Hey, me too.

Join me, Erica, fellow hitchhiker and psychic, for our bi-weekly trip through Hitchhiker's Guide to Humanity.

This is an exploration into what's human, what's spiritual, and WT actual F we should be doing during gestures wildly at everything.

Why do humans do what they do? How do we construct our reality? What shapes our beliefs, behaviors, identities, and understanding of the world? From psychology and philosophy to spirituality, science, and culture, we're looking beneath the surface, questioning what we think we know, connecting the dots, and exploring all the things that make us human.

Host Erica was raised on SNL, Scooby-Doo, and pizza rolls, with a side-eye for authority and a passion (maybe an obsession) for seeing beneath the masks we wear. She is a psychic, seer, tarot reader, and young adult author of Teach Me to Forget, published by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers.

Let's navigate this wild ride together!

Until next time. Peace and love, to you all!

We've been shown the shadows behind the light of our world, and you don't have to be spiritual or woo woo to see that. But what does all this change mean for humanity and more importantly, what does it mean for you?

We have so many more questions than answers. Everything is different, scary in some ways, and familiar in others.

How do we balance what we know with what we believe?

The answer is simple, and yet, so hard to do.

We need to be our authentic selves.

That's it.

Don't think it should be this hard? Same. So, let's explore more about why this is the answer.

So, how are we going to balance this dark reality shift and the light that has appeared out of these shadows? A spell that kept us in the dark of the most dastardly, disturbing parts of humanity. It also shined a light on who we are and who we want to be.

Hello and welcome to Hitchhikers Guide to Humanity. I am your host, Erica, fellow hitchhiker here in this timeline. Just trying to keep her sanity. Today we're talking about how to juggle our spiritual gifts in an environment so hell bent on making us believe in everything. A lot has happened since the last episode. The world, it appears, has healed and jumped timelines. Don't believe me? In the United States, after the midterm elections, Texas and Mississippi are blue. Yes, that Mississippi, the blue tsunami has happened. So what does that mean for us, dear humans? For our healing journeys for our future here in Michigan. We elected the popular doctor Abdul El-Sayed. Witty, outspoken, highly. Highly intelligent. The internet has gone gaga over him and I don't blame them. Us. It feels like everyone has a crush on him. But that is not just because he's crush material. Okay, he says it like it is. His Scorpio side eye is infamous and will go down in history. He is an authentic portrayal of what we have to look forward to, and not just in politics. When the veil dropped sometime in the last year, the ability to fake and lie dropped as well. And if you don't know what I'm saying when I refer to the veil, dropping it is a symbol, right, of this almost this spell that has been over us, keeping us in the dark of a lot of things. Some people believe the veil is a physical thing that has been removed, and in a way it is because everything is energy. But for the sake of what I'm talking about, this is a symbol of something. So if the veil was representing a spell, if you will, on us a spell that kept us in the dark of the most dastardly, disturbing parts of humanity, let's be honest. It also shined a light on who we are and who we want to be. What it also did was allow everyone to access that which is beyond our current reality in the 3D. Now, before I lose those of you who are not as spiritual, these are open to everyone. Magic is real. Humans are deeply flawed, and yes, it seems half the world's population is in the Epstein files. Many have asked if we'll ever go back to the way it used to be. To that I say we will not because it doesn't exist anymore. Any trips back to the way it was will only appear in your mind. So how are we going to balance this dark reality shift and the light that has appeared out of these shadows? The key is and will always be what you make it. We are only in charge of ourselves. Any magic that happens is because you believe it can. Any changes in your life are because you will them to be or because it's a milestone on your path. You will find many, especially online, who want you to think that you need them to do the magic or to access that which is beyond your purview. But that's not true. There is no magic pill. Someone else possesses to get you what you want. It's always been you. What I'm seeing as a seer and a pattern expert is the rise of authenticity. If you go back and listen to my episode where I discuss the five future predictions the AI revolution and death of our masks. Where I say you being authentically you is going to be your greatest currency in this world because it will unleash the path you're meant here to do, which I recorded in August of twenty twenty five. Also, my legs are electrifying, so you know it's true. No, it just means it's resonant. So we're seeing it happen. I mentioned my senator Abdul El-Sayed or his birth name Abdulrahman Mohammed Assad. I think I said that right. I've been practicing figures like him and many others who are speaking out authentically, like Bernie Sanders has for years. They will be the majority going forward. Once awakened, we can't go back into the bubble anymore. We know too much. And that's the key to balancing all of this is authenticity. And as I say a lot, following your joy and excitement. Those are the highest vibe actions you can take. I know it's easier said than done, and to get there, you have to trudge through a lot of shadows of your past, your present, and your future selves. That doesn't mean it has to be forever. Healing isn't done once and then you're cured. It's moments in your life when you choose to react differently, when the same stimuli offers itself to you. I know that sounds a bit sciency, but that's okay. I can love both spirituality and science because my belief is they are one and the same anyway. It can be hard to balance your human self and spiritual self and your authentic self and your other selves. They always seem to be competing. But what if your actions respected them all? What if when you make a decision, you think of all your selves, not just the human and not just the spiritual? Can it be that easy? Yes. Here's an example. You're scrolling TikTok also. If you're not following me on there, I'm Earth Decoded dot fm and you come upon a tarot reader. She. He or they are bright, enthusiastic, and your body responds. So you stay and watch. As you get into the video, you start to realize that maybe this is true, but then something comes up that doesn't quite fit what you think, and your body tells you that too. By tightening up and maybe making you feel a little queasy, you have a choice. Do you continue to fit your narrative, your story, into this reading, or do you use your discernment and decide to scroll? Or maybe you know nothing is going to be exactly right for you in a collective reading, but it was good to hear some of that match. So you're not alone. There are others going through it. Instead of believing in everything face value, try looking at the big picture. Try imagining that you already have the answers to what you want. You just need not be afraid of them or afraid to find them, or feel them or hear them, or take action if it's aligned. Let's say you take what you need from that same tarot reading you found on TikTok. They mentioned a big promotion is coming for you and for my tarot baddies. Ace of Pentacles has been in that spread, right? We know the Ace of Pentacles is all about an offer coming. And Pentacles is all about work, money, security, safety. These earthly things and it made your body light up when you heard that. It released something that was stuck. That is information for you. Your body and your souls are giving you a sign that this is aligned with your authentic self and your authentic path here. Let's say from there you decide to explore what it meant. Maybe you didn't know you wanted a promotion until you saw that reading, but it sure sounds good and you've been working hard, So maybe you ask your manager if there are any openings coming up and the manager is like, oh yeah, actually there is. And you'd be a great fit. Let me get you the link to that job. Then you apply and you get the job. Poof. Promotion that was predicted. But without the action of asking, would it have dropped in your lap? That's the intersection I'm speaking of when discussing this balance between human and spirituality. All these modalities astrology, human design, Myers-Briggs, Enneagram, tarot, spells, predictions all of these are tools to show you what could happen when the planets align. When your profiles align, all of it points to the thing you want to do. You just don't always know you want to do it yet. But what that takes is action from you. You are the guiding light to all of this. So what will you do with your light? Until next time. Peace and love to you all.
