ELIAS: This afternoon, we shall be discussing energy, and the collective energies and what you are creating.

First of all, I shall inquire of all of you what your impressions and assessments or observations are in association with the collective energy and what is being created in this time framework. What are you noticing?

FRANK: Conflict.

ELLA: There’s a lot of movement out of balance, sort of to get us to swing.

ELIAS: Very well. Other observations?

VERONICA: Many people are dying in cataclysms, the reaction of the earth and the oceans, I believe, against our practices of government and beliefs. It’s very sad and I am very confused by it. Because I don’t want to accept it, but on one level, somewhere up here, it is all for a good; but I don’t like being passive and I’m annoyed when other people are passive. I want them to get emotionally involved with it. I don’t know whether I allow my emotions... I allow them to come out, but I’m not sure about my own reaction with regard to it all.

ELIAS: Very well. Other observations?

JEN N: Hello, Elias. I think that people are butting up against feeling like they want things to be perfect, like reaching for this utopia but feeling really upset and realizing they can’t have the perfect thing, that things are what they are, and sort of fighting against what is, somehow. It’s causing a lot of conflict.

ELIAS: Very well.

ELISE: I feel like there’s seeds of change moving in many people, a calling to start creating new models and new ways of living, and not exactly knowing how to begin those projects.

EDWARD: The government’s making cocaine... (The rest of Edward’s statement is lost in group laughter)

ELLA: I would like to agree with Elise, because me and my friend all the time also notice evidence of the shift. It is a lot of changes, not always positive, and I am more accepting of these change. Yes, I get emotionally involved but I also understand that it is a choice. It sort of feels that time is speeding up, events are speeding up, but yet somehow we are with it. There is a lot of confusion, yes. I’m not saying things are perfect, but yet somehow so much fun, really lots of fun. I see changes in myself, I see changes in people around me, and I feel like I vibrate some of this excitement because my life is changing so much now. I just want it to continue this way, more and more and more fun, and more self-awareness. That’s how I feel.

ELIAS: Very well.

BARRY: I don’t feel any changes. I feel as I felt as a child, just things are moving, progressing. I don’t feel changes; I feel a forward movement, no specific change. Forward movement is not a change.

DALE: I feel like I’m letting go of old patterns, really letting go of them, like wiping my slate clean, making choices...

ELIAS: And what of these mass events?

BARRY: I feel it’s a cleansing.

ELIAS: Other observations?

RODNEY: These mass events are involving global responses. There’s a great deal of “how do I fit into this globally” on the part of governments. It’s not just one government going ahead and doing things their own way, it’s like they’re looking at how their actions interact with the actions of all other governments. There’s a great deal of interplay, and I question whether it was like that 50 years ago. Today there’s a lot more questioning about how to fit into the global picture on the part of just about all public figures, which I think is quite interesting.

EDWARD: It feels like the Earth is trying to get rid of the parasites. I mean, the earth is what’s shifting.

FRANKO: It’s not working — I’m still here! (Laughter)

EDWARD: But it’s massive. It’s not the government; it’s like the earth itself is shaking.

ELLA: I don’t disagree with you, but it doesn’t look to me like getting rid of parasites. I don’t necessarily see it this way. But it is definitely changing old stereotypes. So many things are changing and sometimes that involves a drastic reaction, but it feels...

BEN: But the price of gas? The whole world is dependent upon this particular type of fuel and energy, and our attention in this part of the world...

ELLA: Wouldn’t you say this is like swinging? Inna and I were discussing recently if everything is perfect, you’re never going to change it. You have to have that swinging movement before you jump...

DALE: I don’t agree with that. I think we move anyway, regardless. I don’t think we need to...

ELLA: But that’s what we do to make something change.

DALE: I feel like I’m expressing many more things much more forcefully and clearly, and so my beliefs about having gas prices rise, I’m expressing that very strongly. But I’m also expressing other beliefs that are totally different than that, and it’s like okay, too. That strong expression of things like gas being expensive isn’t threatening to me.

EDWARD: But that shapes the entire western world. We’re all based on that and like you say, we’ve become so comfortable that we have this cheap energy fuel and now we’re being forced to go, “Okay, there’s got to be a different alternative.”

ELIAS: And who is forcing?

GROUP: Us... We are... Nobody...

DALE: I don’t see that anything’s happening to me. I see me as expressing many different things.

ELLA: That might be individual also.

RODNEY: It’s not just in energy. I think we’re coming up against a lot of hard choices, like this earthquake in Pakistan. They’re making this announcement that there’s not enough tents in the world to give to these people to keep them warm. There’s a million people out there and there’s no way that they know how to help them.

ELIAS: And what beliefs do you observe are being expressed and challenged?

BARRY: Totally the religious beliefs. All these things happen because we have to learn to change our perceptions, and the main perception that’s on the way out is religious belief.

EDWARD: No, I think it’s the opposite! They’re using this...

BARRY: You have to understand what I mean by “religious.”

EDWARD: You know that those radical clerics are going to say it happened to Pakistan because he’s agreeing with the U.S. They’re manipulating the religious beliefs and fervor of these people...

DALE: Those radicals are you, and they’re not wrong.

EDWARD: I know. We’re sitting here with our own religious beliefs. I’m just saying they’re using them. I’m not saying it’s right or wrong; I’m saying they’re using them consistently.

BARRY: But it’s their last stand; it’s their last ditch... (Participants begin to talk over each other)

ELIAS: STOP! (Loudly) What are you engaging in this moment as a reflection of what you are creating in mass? (Group continues to talk) Are you listening? NO! (Loudly and firmly) You are arguing. You are instructing. You are not accepting of difference. You are NOT accepting of different perceptions and different preferences and different opinions. You are expressing absolutes to each other.

THIS IS THE POINT. This is the reason that your world is expressing all of this violence in mass events, whether it be created in association with weather or individuals. They are all mass events that are being manipulated by you, by your energy.

These are collective mass events. YOU with your energy manipulate this planet. YOU with your energy collectively manipulate the weather. You manipulate the earth. You manipulate the collective energy. This is what is creating all of this upheaval within your world. And you sit in the comfort of this information and express precisely what you are drawing information to yourself to not express!

We have been discussing acceptance for many years, and many individuals express that they are being accepting and that they understand. And what are you actually doing? What are you actually expressing? Justification of yourselves, defense of your preferences, of your beliefs, of your directions, of your opinions, of your observations.

What is defense?

DONNA: Opposition.

ELIAS: Opposition! We have been discussing opposition strongly. I have been discussing with many, many individuals the significance, the importance of balance and of cooperation — not compromise, not acquiescing, not defending — but cooperating and generating from that direction of cooperation a balance. I have been discussing with all of you the significance, especially within this time framework, of not generating extremes, and you are generating extremes.

And you are not exempt from the participation in these mass events simply for the reason that you are not physically participating. If you incorporate an awareness of any of these events, you are participating, for you are also creating it or it would not be within your perception, and it is. You are all aware. And are you incorporating responsibility? No. Are you genuinely paying attention to your energy and what you are creating and what you are expressing in every moment? No. Are you aware of the energy around you continuously? No.

This is the point. You may debate until what you express as the end of time and that shall not generate any more of widening of your awareness. It shall not answer your questions any more than you are answering them now. This is the point, this is the reason that we interact with each other, to offer yourselves information how to accomplish these actions.

You are all aware of the importance of balance. You all want to be expressing your own freedom and generating a balance within yourselves, creating an evenness and a centeredness within yourselves. You all want to be generating acceptance. You want your own freedom and your own directedness of self. The manner in which you accomplish that is to be paying attention to you and to your energy.

In this display of this previous interaction this day with each other, what were each of you aware of? Were you paying attention to yourselves? No. You were projecting your attention to another individual speaking.

ELLA: I understand what you’re saying in the circumstance of the confrontation, but when I express my opinion, I just say what I feel...

ELIAS: I am understanding...

ELLA: ...I don’t expect everybody to accept it. I’m not offended if they don’t.

ELIAS: That is not the point. Are you aware of your energy?

ELLA: You mean if I’m expressing my opinion while somebody else disagrees and I’m being confrontational with them?

ELIAS: Are you aware of your energy and what type of energy you are projecting?

ELLA: I can’t necessarily say that I was.

ELIAS: Correct. That is the point.

EDWARD: When you’re talking about this, talking about the energy, I hear you. Since this is my last focus and since this isn’t like a school room — like we’re going through Buddhism, and we’re searching for enlightenment and you can only disengage once you’re enlightened — since I don’t have to be enlightened when I leave anyway, what’s the point? What difference does it make? You see what I’m saying?

ELIAS: Yes. The difference is what you want. What do you want?

EDWARD: I don’t know — I’m leaving! (Laughter)

ELIAS: Not now! You are present now — or rather you are not present, but you exist in this physically reality. (Laughter)

EDWARD: Are you a little crabby today? (Laughter, and Elias cracks up)

ELIAS: It is important that you understand the point. You want to be expressing happiness. You do not want to be expressing trauma.

EDWARD: How do you know? Maybe that’s my happiness. I’m not saying it is...

ELIAS: That would be a choice, but generally speaking the reason that you engage myself is that you do not want to express trauma and experience trauma. Were you choosing to be expressing or experiencing trauma, you would not be engaging conversation with myself. There would be no point.

For this is the point that I speak with you, to be avoiding trauma and to be interactive with you that you may draw information to yourselves in how to be aware of yourselves and how to create what you want and how to find what you want.

Yes?

BARRY: Does that mean when you are expressing your opinion you are not paying attention to your energy?

ELIAS: Not necessarily. But in that interaction, which you provided an example for yourselves of what I am expressing to you, you created a demonstration of what we are speaking of and what we are engaging, and that the point is how you do not pay attention to your energy. How can you intentionally manipulate your energy to create what you want in every moment if you are unaware of what your energy is doing, if you are unaware of how you are projecting it?

GAIL: So the energy that you’re feeling when you’re having an emotion, you can feel yourself projecting it. When they were having a conversation, they were projecting energy back and forth, just slamming each other as opposed to staying calm within yourself, expressing your opinion without shoving it outward.

ELLA: I agree with you. But what I wanted to ask you, if we could go back to that interruption when Barry was talking about feeling that it was caused by religious beliefs and Dale and Edward disagreed, if we could get an example of how it would be preferable to do it. I understand what you are trying to explain, but I think a lot of people here don’t understand. How do you say something...

DALE: I noticed that at some point my attention was on him. It was outside of me, my attention was projecting out, and I was opposing. When I’m aware of my energy, it feels like he’s an expression of me.

ELLA: Inclusive rather than...

DALE: It feels like it’s a reflection. I’m looking at it as a reflection or some kind of expression that I’m seeing me through. But when I moved into opposing and he became separate, my attention was not on me at all. It was totally on him.

JEN N: We’re in a society and we want to agree. I think that’s something that’s happening en masse, too. We’re in a society and we all have our own viewpoints and opinions, and we all think they’re right and valid perceptions, and you want everyone to hear you and to agree. We all want to agree and we’re confused as to what is correct and what do you do with all the...

ELIAS: Let me also express, first of all, your question continues to be “how,” and the first direction in responding to the how is to listen. You cannot listen if you are projecting. Paying attention to your energy may be somewhat challenging initially, for it is an unfamiliar action and many individuals are not even aware of what their energy is.

You generate an energy field, all of you. That energy field is created by the energy centers within your physical body, which radiate and generate this field that surrounds your physical body. That energy is manipulated in a projection outwardly in every action that you engage.

If you are expressing any type of emotional communication, that energy expresses outwardly more strongly. If you are experiencing a neutral state, your energy expresses outwardly in a much more calm and even manner. If you are generating any type of agitation within yourself, whatever expression you generate outwardly — regardless of tone, regardless of verbal communication — the energy that is projected is intense and strong, and it is received precisely as it is expressed, as opposition.

There are many, many forms of opposition. It is not merely expressed in aggression. You can express your opinion and not be opposing of another individual. If you are expressing your opinion from the position of sharing and participating with another individual in cooperation with the other individual, you are not expressing an opposing energy. You are also, if you are cooperating, you are not challenging the other individual. You are not setting yourself as right or that there is any wrong expression of the other individual.

Agreement is not a requirement for cooperation. “Like” is not a requirement for cooperation or acceptance. It is not necessary that you like an expression or that you like a behavior or that you like a manifestation to cooperate and to be accepting.

As I have expressed many times previously, difference is the most challenging expression to accept. You generate automatic responses to difference in varying degrees. Difference generates an automatic threat, which generates an automatic response of defense. Defense is one of your strongest expressions of opposition. If you are defending in any manner, you are projecting an energy of opposition, which is threat to the other individual — which is generally matched with opposing energy, for you create and you reflect what you are expressing. This is how you generate your indicator of awareness of your energy.

If you are reflecting from another individual opposition — which may be expressed, as I have stated, in many, many different manners — if you are receiving opposing energy from another individual, you have generated that initially and the other individual is reflecting. You ALL do this with each other. Every individual that you interact with in any capacity in any moment, you have specifically, precisely, immaculately drawn that particular individual to you in that moment. Stranger or friend, family or foe, each individual that you interact with you have drawn to you in that moment, for that particular individual shall precisely reflect your energy in some manner. This is your gauge of your energy.

Difference is challenging, but it is not impossible to accept. What is required is to be paying attention to what YOU are doing.

You may also incorporate your physical body consciousness as an indicator of your energy. In any moment, is your physical body consciousness being held in a relaxed state or do you notice any expression of tension in any area of your physical body? What are you actually doing? What is your posture?

If you are interacting with another individual and you are expressing conversation, but it is becoming debate or if it is becoming more intense, what is your energy? Are you sitting taller? Are you leaning forward? That is an expression of energy to challenge the other individual. If you are presenting yourself as taller, you become more challenging. Is your voice being projected calmly or is it becoming more projected, louder? Is your solar plexus relaxed or is it tight? Are your shoulders relaxed or are they tight?

There are many physical indicators that you generally do not pay attention to. Your body consciousness offers you tremendous communication continuously. But for the most part, individuals do not pay attention to their body consciousness and how they are expressing. This also is an efficient indicator of how you are paying attention if you are aware. If you are genuinely aware of yourself, you are not aware of yourself to the exclusion of all that is around you. You are aware of all that is around you; you are aware of the energy around you and how it is being expressed.

An example of how easily you do not express an awareness: (points at Jim S) what are you doing now?

JIM S: I’m listening.

ELIAS: And?

JIM S: I’m passing some energy through my legs here.

ELIAS: And?

JIM S: Beyond that...

ELIAS: Listening and passing energy through legs. And you are sitting, and you are present within a room. And what is around you?

JIM S: Nothing.

ELIAS: Nothing? Other individuals, a table, walls, chairs, equipment. And how is your energy being expressed?

JIM S: I’m not sure.

ELIAS: Tense and guarded.

JIM S: Yes, always.

ELIAS: Therefore shielding and holding your energy quite tightly to your physical form, and also now somewhat uncomfortable for you are being focused upon. (Grinning)

It is important that you are aware of what you are expressing. If you do not know what your energy is and if you are unaware of how you are projecting it, how can you manipulate it intentionally to create what you want? You do create every minute and every expression and every other individual within your reality. You are not always happy with all of what you are creating, but you are choosing it.

How can you intentionally choose what you want, if you are unaware of what you are doing? You may be doing many expressions and you may be in the position of autopilot. In that, you create scenarios and subsequently you become exasperated and question yourselves and express, “Why did I create this? Why AM I creating this?”

Were you to be actually paying attention to what you are doing, you would know, for you would be aware. That is the point. You all want to be widening your awareness and incorporating the expression of your innate ability to create intentionally what you want, but you continue to allow other individuals to steer your ship, you continue to fly your plane in the copilot seat, and therefore you are steering without a course.

Being aware of how you are expressing energy changes what occurs around you, for you ARE creating your reality. Therefore, being aware of how YOU are expressing energy creates different responses. It also can quite strongly alter your perception in many different manners. As perception is the mechanism that actually creates your physical reality, altering perception alters reality — altering actual PHYSICAL reality — and you quite definitely do incorporate the ability to generate this.

Express to myself what you notice in yourselves as generating an opposing energy.

RODNEY: I hear something or someone says something and I want to express my view, and I do. This happened to me last week, and I noticed it afterwards. They disagreed with me, and where I go in myself is they’re disagreeing with me because they didn’t understand me and they didn’t understand me because I didn’t express myself clearly enough. So I get caught up in attempting to express myself more clearly.

But this is a trick I play on myself, because it’s kind of like camouflage for the fact that I’m disagreeing with them, I’m opposing them, and I’m trying to possibly correct their perception. So I use this judgment of myself that I’m not expressing myself clearly enough as a trick, a camouflage, of the fact that I’m really defending myself or trying to correct them.

ELIAS: Yes, this is a commonly expressed avenue with individuals.

RODNEY: Because it seems to me that to cooperate with someone is simply to accept the fact that I think they’re wrong about something.

ELIAS: Yes, in actuality, you are correct. Each of you incorporates your own truths. We have defined truths as your own beliefs that you have set into absolute, that you do not even question.

In these truths, there is some association of preference, and in this, as we have discussed previously, your truths are not bad. They are your guidelines. They are your individual guidelines that guide you in how you shall behave, how you shall interact, how you shall create. Therefore, for you individually, they are good for they are your guidelines. They allow you to measure your behavior. They also influence you to not be engaging some behavior, for your truths express a preference and not a preference. There are judgments associated with your own truths. Your truths all incorporate some element of what you assess to be good and bad.

You are not eliminating belief systems; you are not eliminating beliefs. Therefore, you are not eliminating duplicity. You are continuing to express your own evaluations of good and bad and right and wrong within yourself. What you are changing is not applying that to every other individual within your reality, for their truths may be different. This is the element of difference.

It is not necessary to agree. You may be interacting with another individual that you do not agree with and it is not necessary for you to alter your truth to accommodate the other individual. It is also not necessary for you to instruct and convince the other individual that your truth is right. It may be absolute for you and that is what is important, but it is not absolute for the other individual. It is not necessary to agree to cooperate.

You may be expressing differences but it matters not. The other individual may be expressing, “I do this action in this manner,” and you may express, “I do this action in another manner.” You may be expressing back and forth, offering your reasons why you do a particular action in a particular manner, but it actually matters not, for the other individual is not actually affecting you or changing you. You continue to express in your guidelines.

An individual may express a truth that they express violence is wrong and therefore it should not be expressed. Another individual may incorporate violent behavior — but you are not. That is the point of your truths. They are YOUR guidelines.

EDWARD: But when we become the victim of their violence... I guess you’re going to tell me that I created that. But I’m sorry, I’d rather not be blown up by somebody I created, I suppose. I don’t know, there’s a very strange dichotomy in there.

ELIAS: But you are not being blown up!

EDWARD: A similar situation is talking about disagreeing about whether (inaudible) or whatever is a nice idea. I can buy into that, but when there is extreme violence...

ELIAS: I am understanding, but if you are not creating that opposition within yourself, you shall not draw that to yourself. Therefore, you shall not participate in it.

EDWARD: That’s nice, okay. I’ll buy that. I’ll go with that.

ELIAS: You create the situation to be participating in that type of scenario. You create the situation of drawing that energy to you through the energy that you are projecting. Therefore, if you are not engaging in an opposing or in a protective energy, it is unnecessary to draw that type of energy to you. You draw to you what will reflect you. Therefore, if you choose not to be in a violent situation and you are not expressing a violent energy with yourself, you shall not draw that to yourself.

EDWARD: So I saved the whole New York City subway because I didn’t want to get blown up and I felt really good about it! So while I was riding the trains, everybody was safe. I don’t know if I can...

ELIAS: You already are. You already are projecting an energy to not draw that to yourself.

EDWARD: I’m happy with that.

ELIAS: (Laughs) But in this scenario, this is an example of not cooperating, of attempting to convince, not necessarily in a violent manner but in a manner of opposition, rather than recognizing and evaluating how is the other individual’s opinion threatening you.

ELLA: I don’t specifically try to do it, but I do feel that I notice myself more, because I hear you and I read about all that. But I notice and it’s very distinct. If anybody just tries to give me friendly advice but uses “you have to do something” or “why don’t you do something,” I immediately notice my solar plexus tense because somebody wants to impose their truth on me. What I do notice lately is that I also don’t try to... I used to feel upset and I now process it within me. I turn it in a more pleasant way and the confrontation goes away. Am I actually doing that?

ELIAS: Yes. That is also an example in which you notice your automatic response and you are intentionally paying attention to what type of energy you are expressing. You notice the initial twinge, the initial response of shielding or defending, but in noticing that you can alter that by recognizing yourself, allowing yourself to intentionally relax and evaluate what is the perceived threat.

How is this individual actually threatening you? For this is what you are responding to in defense. You have automatically perceived a threat. Whether you think it in thoughts or not, you are automatically responding in energy and you are automatically engaging an emotional communication, which is expressing to you within a moment you are perceiving threat and now you shall be engaging defense.

RODNEY: I expressed an idea and the other person said, “You’re wrong.” So energetically I feel a threat there.

ELIAS: For you must be right. (Laughter)

RODNEY: For me to cooperate would simply be to say, “Fine, you think I’m wrong,” and that’s that.

ELIAS: Yes.

RODNEY: But I don’t go there and I think I have to explain myself.

ELIAS: Which is another form of defending and that creates this opposing energy, and the interaction continues and can actually escalate and that creates a conflict.

These are examples of how you may engage that type of action and that type of energy with two individuals. You are engaging that, and what energy is that projecting outwardly? Opposition. Is it also expressing balance? No. Therefore, what energy does that contribute to?

RODNEY: Chaos.

ELIAS: And mass events.

ELLA: But sometimes I notice it only in my head. Does that affect too?

ELIAS: And that too may contribute to atmospheric pressures. You ARE participating; you merely do not pay attention or incorporate the awareness of how important and how powerful one individual is. There can be no mass without individuals. There can be no mass event without the participation of collective energy.

If you are generating opposition in your day — in your employment, in your family, with a friend, with an individual in a shop that perhaps expresses what you deem to be an attitude with you as you are purchasing an item — and you match that energy in opposition, you are generating an opposing energy. That energy is not limited to that very space that you are standing within. That energy translates in the collective.

You are all a part of the collective energy. You are what is the make-up of the collective energy. Therefore, the conflicts that you generate within your day individually generate a contribution to the energy, which is extreme and out of balance within your world.

ELLA: You are teaching us to interact with each other. What about the rest of humanity? We cannot deny... (The rest is lost in group laughter)

ELIAS: This is the point! The point is not to concern yourself with other individuals. The point is to concern yourself with you, for the energy that you generate alters all around you.

Therefore, you, one individual, incorporate tremendous power. You are not always in this room. You are not always in this forum. You interact in many different physical locations with many different individuals throughout your days.

ELLA: Does that cause ripple effects?

ELIAS: Yes! Yes, and that is the point. Paying attention to your energy ripples and is affecting, for you are creating all of your reality. Therefore, if you are creating all of your reality and you are creating a reality that is balanced, that ripples in association with every other individual that you interact with.

BARRY: So if you feel something here, feel tension here... Because I thought “balance” just before you said it. Sometimes we send our awareness to our third eye, and so there’s awareness sent to our whole field and that’s what balances us and then we learn to do that. That’s the how, that’s what you’re saying?

ELIAS: Being aware of all of your energy and how it is being projected. The manner in which you verify is by paying attention to what you are actually doing. As in the example — you are sitting in a chair. What are you doing?

BARRY: I was listening to what you were telling me.

ELIAS: And I may express that if I were to pose this question to every individual within this room, the initial response is “I am listening to you.” What are you doing?

BARRY: Absorbing your energy.

ELIAS: What are you doing?

BARRY: I’m cooperating? I don’t know.

ELIAS: That would be the answer — you are not aware. What is your body consciousness doing? How is it being expressed? What is around you? What is your periphery bringing as input? Where are your feet? Where are your hands?

BARRY: One foot is on the floor; one hand is on the chair. One hand is relaxed; one hand is tight. One foot is relaxed; one foot is tight.

ELIAS: This is the point. These are all actions that you are incorporating. It is not a judgment; it matters not.

The point is is that you focus your attention singularly and you notice merely one action, but you are actually incorporating many. Your focus is more expanded than you are paying attention to. You are inputting information in many different manners and you are also responding to that input.

If you are sitting in close proximity to another individual, your energy field is responding to the individual beside you. And how is your body consciousness responding in that side?

BARRY: I’m leaning into her.

ELIAS: Correct, therefore you are engaging an action. This is what I am expressing to you in being aware of your energy and what you are actually doing. What you are doing is your indicator of what type of energy you are expressing.

Yes?

LORRAINE M: If I were able to do that, accept in every moment and not cause any conflict in my own in-the-moment life, would that mean that in my reality there wouldn’t be any earthquakes, tsunamis, war? I could create that?

ELIAS: Yes, you can. That is not...

LORRAINE M: But other people’s reality wouldn’t change.

ELIAS: Correct.

JEN N: She wouldn’t know about that because it wouldn’t be in her reality.

ELIAS: Correct.

LORRAINE M: So do we all have own time-space continuum kind of thing?

ELIAS: You do. You ARE interacting directly with other individuals’ energy, but remember, you are also precisely drawing to yourself specific individuals that reflect you. Therefore, if you were creating a reality in which there was no earthquake or there was no hurricane, every individual that you draw to yourself would not incorporate an awareness of that either, for that would not be in your reality. You would not be offering yourself that information, for in your reality it did not occur. That IS possible; it is difficult.

LORRAINE M: So if you’re a Star Trek person, it’s like we all have our own holodeck, we all create our own program...

ELIAS: Yes.

LORRAINE M: ...and when we walk into it, the people that are in our hologram are people we programmed into it.

ELIAS: Yes, but they are the energies of all of the other individuals. But yes, you are correct.

LORRAINE M: So anything they say or do to us, we’ve created.

ELIAS: Yes. You have drawn that to yourself, yes.

VERONICA: I have two questions, if I remember them. I have a friend who is not interested in the world affairs. It’s not important to her. Just going to work at her little job is sufficient for her. That is a reflection perhaps to me of an attractive way to be or a calming way to be for myself?

ELIAS: In part.

VERONICA: Rather than my thinking that she’s just a totally disinterested person.

ELIAS: Correct, offering yourself an example of not concerning yourself with what other individuals’ choices are.

VERONICA: My second question is, if my perception is that we have not had cataclysms in our area, is it that our population is less defensive and more accepting than people in other parts of the world?

ELIAS: Not necessarily. For regardless that it is not occurring in your area, you are participating. You are contributing energy to those mass events. You may be collectively choosing in your physical location not to be creating a mass event in your area, but that is not to say that you are not participating in the other mass events. The energy in those locations is more directedly intensified for their collective reason and benefit.

These mass events are actually generating benefit. As I have expressed, you are always creating benefit to yourselves. It may not necessarily be comfortable. It may even be expressed in actions and events that you deem to be painful, but they are beneficial.

Yes?

MICHAEL: So really, we have to pay attention to the man in the mirror.

ELIAS: Yes.

MICHAEL: Because whatever he’s doing, that’s what’s happening. (Elias nods in agreement)

KAUSTUBH: Elias, would you say that fear is form of opposition?

ELIAS: Yes, for it is an opposition of yourself.

KAUSTUBH: How about situations where the apparent power is unidirectional, in the sense that when I consider myself with respect to government, regulations, laws, or when I have to travel to other countries, I have to get all this paperwork done to get a visa. I feel myself to be pretty powerless with respect to that and I work myself up a lot in such situations. I do recognize that it is opposition, however what could I do to neutralize that opposition?

ELIAS: Remember, you create what you concentrate upon, and as you continue to concentrate upon lack and the inability to accomplish, you shall continue to express that.

In allowing yourself to relax, perhaps begin to alter this automatic fear and these automatic expressions by incorporating an exercise of appreciation and acknowledgment. If you are within each of your days allowing yourself to acknowledge some accomplishments within your day, that reinforces your trust. It also interrupts your concentration upon lack, for you are acknowledging accomplishment and what you have. In that also, express some type of appreciation of yourself in the least twice within your day.

KAUSTUBH: So in such a scenario, when I’m appreciating myself, I may still have these feelings of fear...

ELIAS: Yes, but you are interrupting that and you are reinforcing your trust of yourself, which shall override the fear. It shall allow you to incorporate more of an expression of confidence and acceptance within yourself and allow you more comfort within yourself. Also practice relaxing, for tension is an automatic by-product of fear. You automatically incorporate tension within your physical body consciousness in association with fear.

The appreciation exercise is tremendously important and very powerful. It matters not what you appreciate. It matters not if it is in your estimation large or small. It may be in your estimation almost insignificant. It matters not. If it is a genuine expression of appreciation, it is powerful enough to interrupt these automatic responses and to reinforce your trust of yourself.

KAUSTUBH: So my take on this particular example is that I may still have to go through all the red tape, however I will not create these twinges. I would still have to do all the paperwork but not I would not feel it.

ELIAS: Correct.

ELLA: I found it helps me in that situation, if I sort of ask myself why I feel this way. I remind myself what you always say that I’m sort of projecting it, but in the now I’m okay. Then the tension goes away, at least to the degree that I’m more comfortable.

ELIAS: Being present in the now is very important.

KAUSTUBH: These days I’ve been noticing my energy a lot. When I’m projecting opposition, I notice it and I try to ask what is causing the threat in me. I do answer the question but somehow it does not convince me, in the sense that I still believe that the power is one way and I feel that I am powerless. I try to interrupt it...

ELIAS: Correct, which is the importance of acknowledging and appreciating, for that generates an action that allows you to interrupt. It is not a matter of convincing yourself. It is a matter of incorporating a different action that interrupts those automatic expressions.

DANIIL: During private sessions with you, I guess I’m not opposing you as much I would oppose other individuals. That would be an example of feeling appreciated and appreciating, feeling friendly and sharing. That would be an example that I could draw upon in interaction with others.

ELIAS: Yes, you are correct.

I may express, we shall engage break and you may continue subsequently.

(Break at 12:56 PM) (Resume at 1:43 PM)

ELIAS: Continuing! (Pause)

GAIL: I have a question. As we were talking about paying attention to our own energy and what we project, I’ve been aware of how I feel and how I project, and picking up... (Inaudible)

ELIAS: (Laughs) Congratulations!

GAIL: Anyway, what I’ve been doing for the last couple of weeks is I find myself going to have massages. But I think I’m relaxed, maybe a little up-tight at the end of the day after running around, and I’m finding, I’m wondering, are the massages... They’re touching points in my body that I think are relaxed. Is that imagery to myself that I’m digging deeper into paying attention to how I feel and what I project?

ELIAS: In what you are noticing in association with the massage?

GAIL: Yes.

ELIAS: And your response to it?

GAIL: I notice the next day that I’m really sore from it. I didn’t realize that I was holding that tension in my body. It forces me to pay even more attention to how I hold myself, how I’m feeling in relation to my shoulders, my back, my legs, that I didn’t notice before.

ELIAS: Yes, which may in actuality be an efficient exercise to be incorporating for many individuals, for generally individuals are not aware of what their body consciousness is expressing. Your body consciousness expresses communications to you continuously. But unless you create some type of physical manifestation that is quite obvious in the form of illness or dis-ease or pain, individuals are not actually paying attention to the communications that the body consciousness is expressing.

I may express to you, your body consciousness is even expressing communications to you concerning what you consume in association with different foods. It shall express a communication to you and generate urges — not cravings, but urging you.

Each of you incorporates your own beliefs concerning health, concerning your physical appearance, concerning the functioning of your physical body, and how you project yourself physically. In accordance with those beliefs, your body consciousness knows what shall be in compliance with your beliefs concerning your body and your appearance. Therefore, it shall generate urgings to you to create that. It shall generate urgings of different foods to be consuming to create in accordance with your beliefs.

Therefore if you incorporate certain beliefs that you may not necessarily express an objective awareness of in relation to vitamins, your body consciousness shall urge you to incorporate certain foods that will supply you with those particular elements that are in accordance with your beliefs to create the physical manifestation and the appearance that you are familiar with and comfortable with. Many individuals do not pay attention to the physical body consciousness, and therefore they generate creating an appearance or manifestations that they may not want. For they are not paying attention, and the body is responding to communicate to them what they are doing that is contrary to what they want.

In incorporating massage, it may offer you information concerning how you do hold energy that you may be objectively unaware of, for it has become so familiar to you that you are not paying attention. There are many individuals that walk about continuously through their focus and are holding tension within their body consciousness continuously and are unaware, for it has become so familiar it appears to be a natural state to them. Which it is not, but they are not aware of how they are holding energy.

Individuals are not objectively aware of energy, period, for the most part. You may be aware of other individuals’ energies and you may feel other individuals’ energies, but what you are not aware of is your own energy, which is associated with the theme of this discussion, as we have presented the examples in two individuals as I inquire “what are you doing.”

Individuals are not paying attention to what they are actually doing in any particular moment. You view the most obvious action, but none other. Therefore, you view “I am listening.” Yes, you are listening. You are also inquiring, you are also sitting, you are also engaging a particular posture, you are also generating certain tensions within your body consciousness. You may be anticipating while you are listening; you may be projecting while you are listening. You are also inputting information through your periphery from all of your environment surrounding you. You may be listening and you may also be paying attention to the creature in the room and how it is moving about or if it is not moving about. Or you may be, as we discussed previously, gravitating to other individuals’ energies but not paying attention.

There are many actions that you are engaging in every moment that you are not paying attention to. Therefore, you are not aware of how your energy is being projected or what you are doing with yourself in your energy and how you may be holding to your energy, creating shielding, creating a resistance to openness, a resistance to intimacy, a resistance to allowance. And in this, you pull your energy field tightly to yourself. The more you condense your energy field, the closer it becomes to your physical body projection, the more intensely your energy is held and the more tension your physical body responds with.

In engaging massage, you are engaging an action that physically manipulates energy and allows it to be released. In releasing energy that has been held for extended time frameworks, this can generate actual painfulness in similar manner to the body’s natural release of energy. If an individual is holding energy intensely, the individual may begin to weep and assess within themselves confusion for they do not understand why they are weeping, for they view that they incorporate no reason. The reason is they are holding energy very tightly, and the body consciousness’ natural method of releasing energy is to weep. It is not always generated in association with sadness or grief. This is an indicator that you are holding energy very tightly.

Now; in that, it is significant for you to pay attention and evaluate what triggers this automatic response of holding to your energy and shielding. What is generating some type of threat with you that you are generating an automatic response of holding to your energy and shielding, not allowing for receiving and not allowing an openness, not allowing that vulnerability, which generally is associated with a fear? Generally that fear is associated with intimacy.

Intimacy may be expressed in many different manners, not merely in sexual manners. But generally speaking, individuals are less afraid of sexual encounters than genuinely expressing an openness and an exposure with another individual, and that generates automatic responses of shielding and not allowing for that vulnerability and that exposure.

For even within sexual interaction or activities, individuals can quite efficiently continue to be shielding. They may be engaging a physical activity with another individual but not exposing, and therefore that is less threat than genuinely allowing yourself to generate an exposure in which you allow yourself to receive — which is also strongly associated with religious beliefs that you all incorporate that express that receiving is bad, receiving is selfish, and selfish is bad.

Selfish, I shall express to you all, is good. (Laughter and cheering)

NATASHA: If you are avoiding exposure — I’m talking about sex — is the release of energy possible?

ELIAS: Be more specific.

NATASHA: What I’m saying is, if you are not involved, if you are just present there and not involved and you are not exposing yourself, is the release of energy possible for a person who is not exposing themselves?

ELIAS: Yes.

NATASHA: Then what is exposure?

ELIAS: Exposure is an allowance of yourself to not retreat, to not shield, to not defend. It is an allowance of yourself to genuinely express yourself without fear and without discounting yourself. It is a genuine expression of openness and vulnerability. It is not an expression of confession. It is not an expression that you must bare yourself to the world. It is a comfort within yourself, an acceptance within yourself that you no longer deem it necessary to protect yourself, and therefore no longer incorporate fear. It is an expression of not hiding.

DANIIL: In fighting fear we perpetuate it, so what other beneficial habit is next to fear that will alleviate fear?

ELIAS: Appreciation. Appreciation neutralizes fear, but genuine appreciation not artificial.

DANIIL: Appreciation as in appreciation of one’s self as well as appreciation of others?

ELIAS: Yes. But as we discussed earlier, appreciation is an unfamiliar action to many of you. Therefore, it is advisable that you begin in increments. For the point is not to overwhelm yourselves, and also not to snare yourselves or trap yourselves in a manner in which you are attempting to generate an appreciation and in a moment, if you are unsuccessful, that you immediately discount yourself and perpetuate this devaluing of yourself.

Fear is an expression of powerlessness. Therefore, the point would not to be reinforcing that but to be interrupting it with something that can become familiar to you, although it is unfamiliar initially. This is the reason that it is significant to practice with acknowledgment and appreciation to acknowledge what you have accomplished, acknowledge what you ARE doing — credit yourselves not other individuals.

Many individuals also generate traps with themselves for they may be experiencing a time framework in which they are expressing tremendous freedom and allowing themselves to genuinely be expressing of themselves in association with another individual, and they credit the other individual for allowing that. It is not a matter of the other individual has allowed you to express yourself. It is a matter that YOU have created a scenario with another individual that you have allowed yourself. It is YOUR credit not the other individual’s. You have created that.

ELISE: Kind of going back to something we were speaking about before, as we become more aware of what’s happening within us at any given time and our capability to do that increases, there’s talk about human beings are multi-dimensional and experiencing on many different levels, and so does this just keep going on? As you master this awareness then whoosh, then there’s a whole other realm after that, where you’re more aware of yourself, possibly? You’re experiencing your different lifetimes consecutively, that multi-dimensional aspect...?

ELIAS: Quite definitely.

ELISE: Is this sort of the first step on that path?

ELIAS: As you continue to widen your awareness, yes, you can quite definitely tap into other focuses of yourself, that which you term to be other lifetimes, past and future. You can also tap into other-dimensional focuses.

You are not merely expressed in this one physical dimension. There are countless physical dimensions that you also participate in and incorporate focuses in those. As I have expressed previously, individuals that encounter extra-terrestrials are encountering other focuses of themselves. Therefore, you allow yourself to physically meet another you of you.

The vastness of essence is beyond explanation. You are one focus of attention of essence that is physically manifest in this particular time framework, in this physical reality. There are countless yous within countless physical realities, and you incorporate many, many focuses of attention in this physical reality and in nonphysical areas of consciousness. You are incredibly vast expressions.

RODNEY: Elias, in developing a sense of appreciation, which I find I’m not too familiar with, it’s one thing to say thank you or to express thankfulness for one’s self... Let me give an example. Let’s say I prepare a meal and the meal is quite good and I enjoy it a great deal. Instead of just thanking myself for preparing a good meal, is my enjoyment of that meal an expression of appreciation?

ELIAS: Yes.

RODNEY: That helps. Thank you.

EDWARD: Jealousy ties into fear, right? Jealousy becomes that multi-dimensional part of fear, because you’re projecting out jealousy either of another human being or possessiveness or you’re jealous of somebody’s success. It’s part of fear, right?

ELIAS: Yes, you are correct.

EDWARD: How do you fight that? Is it back to appreciation, like you appreciate yourself then and realize you’re doing just fine?

ELIAS: Yes, and also evaluating what is the perceived threat. What do you perceive the other individual is doing to you that generates that expression? For the other individual is not doing to you. You are generating those responses within yourself. You are doubting and skeptical and untrusting within yourself, and what you do is project that outwardly and focus it upon another individual and therefore express the suspicion and the doubt with the other individual.

That is also associated with your truths and your guidelines, for if the other individual is engaging what you incorporate in your suspicion, you are already projecting an expectation of the other individual — which once again is another expression of threat, which is opposition — but in that, you are projecting your absolute to the other individual. You would not engage in certain actions and therefore you generate an expectation that the other individual will not either. In this, if the other individual is not compliant with your expectation, that can trigger jealousy. But as I have stated, it begins with you, your truths and projecting your truths to another individual and generating the expectation that they shall absolutely comply with your truth, not allowing for difference.

In this, individuals at times may generate this type of situation to offer themselves information concerning what they are projecting and to allow them the opportunity to become familiar with what their truths are, objectively recognizing “my truth is I shall not be engaging an action of infidelity, but I also expect that my partner shall not either.” This is an absolute. This is information to you concerning your truth, which is not bad, and the other individual is not engaging an action hurtful to you. What becomes hurtful is that it is not a compliance with your truth, and therefore you generate an automatic association that you cannot express yourself freely any longer.

As example, if your truth concerns fidelity and your partner is not expressing fidelity, that challenges your truth. They are not complying. They are not complying with your expectation. In that, you experience hurt, for now you automatically express to yourself a denial of yourself. You cannot freely express with this individual any longer. You cannot express your appreciation with this individual any longer, for they are not complying with your expectation; therefore, it is a denial of your choice and that is what generates hurt.

When you are denying your own choices and your own freedom, that creates hurt within you. The other individual and their actions and their choices are not what is creating the hurtfulness. It is your own denial of your own freedom and your own choices, preventing yourself from the continuation of expression that you want to express that creates that hurt within you. That hurt can also trigger opposition, which can be expressed in the form of jealousy.

ELISE: So in other words, we have the choice to change our own personal guidelines at any point in order to create freedom for ourselves.

ELIAS: It is not necessarily a matter of changing your guidelines but recognizing that each of your guidelines incorporates many different influences. The freedom lies in recognizing the different influences and incorporating the allowance of yourself to choose different influences, rather than incorporating the automatic response that infidelity is bad and that automatically means that the other individual does not appreciate me, the other individual does not love me, is not expressing loyalty to me or they would not be expressing in this manner. That is one influence.

Another influence may be, in actuality, you yourself may not actually want to be engaging certain activities with your partner continuously, and therefore your partner is receiving that energy and may be seeking outlet in other directions, which alleviates pressure with you.

Another influence may be that the individual is not expressing that they do not love you or that they do not appreciate you, for that is not necessarily expressed in certain actions. They are not absolutely associated with an expression of love. It is not absolutely expressed in intimacy, either. Sexual activity can be associated with love. It can be associated with sexual activity, but intimacy is not synonymous with either of those expressions.

Therefore it is a matter of perception, once again, and what influences you are allowing to be expressed in automatic response to the actions and choices of other individuals, and concerning yourself with the actions, behaviors and choices of other individuals rather than paying attention to what you are doing and manipulating energy in the manner that you want.

For as I expressed previously, you can create and do create all of your reality, and you can be interactive with another individual. What you are interacting with is their energy; you are not actually interacting with the physical individual. That is your own creation. That is your projection. You receive the other individual’s energy, you thusly automatically project it and configure a physical form. YOU do that. You interact with that physical form that you are creating. You are interacting with the individual’s energy, for the most part.

At times, you may be interacting with an energy deposit of the other individual, which does not necessarily contain the attention of the other individual. In those situations, you may notice that you and the other individual are participating in the same physical location, in the same interaction, and your perception of it is in one direction and the other individual incorporates an entirely different account. This occurs more frequently than you realize.

You each are individually creating all of your reality. There is no one official reality. The official reality is what each of you create. In that, one individual may be creating one scenario and the other individual is creating a different scenario, which in actuality is quite efficient, for it is very validating and acknowledging of you that you actually can create whatever you want regardless of the other individual.

And you can participate with another individual. In this example, you may create that your partner is entirely faithful in your terms, and in your partner’s reality, they may be interacting with many other individuals. This is not a situation of denial. This is not a situation of being what you term to be oblivious. This is an actual situation in which you are creating two very different realities, but you are continuing to participate with each other. Therein lies your freedom. You can create whatever you want, regardless of any other individual within your physical reality, for you are already creating all of it.

<snip>

KAUSTUBH: If you were paying attention all the time, then you would not be creating uncomfortable situations, like for example after the Shift?

ELIAS: At times, but it shall be a choice, an intentional choice. For contrary to what you think, individuals actually do appreciate moments of pain. Individuals actually do appreciate moments of distress or sorrow or any of the feelings and experiences that you term to be negative, even anger, for it generates an element of spice. It generates an avenue in which you actually experience the existence of yourself, the presence of yourself.

Therefore, subsequent to the completion of this shift, shall there be no conflict, shall there be no pain, shall there be no distress? No. For individuals choose to incorporate these expressions and experiences but it shall be an intentional choice.

ELLA: That sounds very weird — today I’m going to have a sad day.

ELIAS: And perhaps you shall. (Laughter)

ELLA: So we choose that now but we don’t realize it. It comes to us...

ELIAS: Unintentionally.

ELLA: And then you get surprised. To choose that ahead of time, that sounds weird.

KAUSTUBH: But after the Shift we will have surprises.

ELIAS: Oh definitely, yes.

I shall incorporate two more questions.

BONNIE: Elias, you talked about dissipating fear by using appreciation. Do you have a suggestion about how to dissipate an argumentativeness or an opposition that you feel rising?

ELIAS: The same, appreciation. In the moment that you are experiencing that rise within yourself and you are beginning to generate a conflict with another individual and you feel yourself becoming agitated and judgmental and are moving into that argumentativeness, allow yourself momentarily to disappear the other individual. They do not exist momentarily. Turn your attention to you and evaluate what the threat is — why you are being argumentative, what is motivating that, what are you attempting to instruct or prove? Allow yourself to appreciate some element within yourself, regardless of what it is — that your hair may wave in a particular manner in that moment. It matters not. Reappear the other individual in your perception, which you may generate this action in merely a moment. Once you reappear the other individual, move your attention to an appreciation of any element of that individual, regardless of what it is. Perhaps you appreciate a button upon the other individual’s shirt; it matters not what it is.

The expression of genuine appreciation itself interrupts aggression and it interrupts your attention. It immediately alters the energy. It immediately alters your energy; it immediately alters the other individual’s energy also.

BONNIE: Thank you.

ELIAS: You are very welcome.

GAIL: When I’m around people and I pick up how someone’s feeling, is that me projecting that feeling and I’m just picking it up as that person’s feelings?

ELIAS: Yes and no. You are actually interacting with other individuals’ energy. Therefore, you may be receiving the actual expression of the other individual, but you also have drawn that individual to you specifically in that moment to reflect some element of yourself.

GAIL: It can be both?

ELIAS: Yes. (Looking into the audience) And yes? Very well.

LORRAINE M: Kind of in conjunction with what we were talking about earlier, I don’t want to go to work. I’m sure there’s other people who feel the same way. But I go to work and I’m really unhappy there. I know that I believe I have to work to have money, so in kind of keeping with what you said earlier, is there something I could do to change that, more like appreciating the job I have? Is it a matter of appreciating what already is? Will that change the situation?

ELIAS: Partially and also allowing yourself to incorporate a different perception. Rather than viewing or incorporating the perception that your employment is a chore and work, allow yourself to engage imagination and create the employment as a game. Express your creativity. The actions and the tasks that you incorporate in your employment, configure them in a manner that becomes a game and fun rather than a chore and work. That allows you to interact with your employment quite differently and it also reinforces or encourages an appreciation of what you are doing.

Very well, my friends! I express TREMENDOUS appreciation for each of you and encouragement that you express it of yourselves also! I offer to you a genuine energy of encouragement in all that you are engaging and an encouragement of your success in paying attention to your energy. As always, I offer my energy to you all, which is always available. In great lovingness, in great acknowledgment, in great friendship to each of you, au revoir.

http://transcripts.eliasweb.at/t_sessio … on_nr=1861

ELIAS:  In this, let me explain to you, this is a very basic element of physical manifestation.  Each orientation holds its own unique language.  It is the manner in which you perceive — in which you perceive yourself, in which you perceive your world.  It also is very influencing of how you are interacting with other individuals — how you perceive yourself, how you perceive other individuals perceive you, how you interact with yourself and how you interact with other individuals.  In a manner of speaking, it is your basic nature.

This is what I am expressing to you in that we begin at the beginning, in the acceptance of what you have chosen to manifest in this particular focus and that it is acceptable.  It is not strange, it is not unacceptable, it is not inadequate, and there is no element of it that is dysfunctional. (Smiling)  It merely is different than the expressions and perceptions of other individuals, but this is not expressing that it is wrong.  It is different.

In this, individuals holding the orientation of soft and of intermediate both experience an element quite similarly of not quite fitting the officially accepted reality, for the rules in which you collectively create your reality en masse are not quite in stride with what you create individually or how you perceive your world or yourself.

The first order of business, so to speak, is to be assuring you that you are acceptable precisely how you are and that you need not be conforming yourself or fitting yourself into any other mold but your own, recognizing that the round peg does not fit into the square hole, and in this, as you may be expressing yourself as the round peg, you have been attempting to fit yourself into the square hole for much time framework, and you pound and you pound and you pound and it shall not force into the shape in which it does not belong.

In this, as you begin to recognize that you are acceptable in how you are creating your reality, and you need not hold permission of other individuals to be creating in the manner that is natural for you to be creating, and you need no approval of other individuals either ... but you ARE requiring of YOUR permission and YOUR approval.

ANNE:  I suppose that’s the hard part.

ELIAS:  Quite!  In this also, as you begin to look to self, as you begin your journey into the acceptance of self and the recognition of the worthiness of self ... which I shall state once again is not dependent even upon your own perception, for it is not measurable even by yourself, for your perception of yourself is quite filtered through your belief systems, and therefore, you may not measure your worth even by yourself or your experiences.

Therefore, as you allow yourself to begin an acceptance of yourself, knowing that your worthiness is untouchable and quite great, you also may automatically begin to move into the recognition that other individuals are acceptable also in their expressions and in their reality, and it may be different from your reality, and it matters not.  You hold the ability to choose whether you shall participate in creations with other individuals within their differences or not, and it matters not.  There is no judgment placed upon your choices.  They are merely your choices.

Your natural flow of yourself within your orientation, your natural movement, moves in the direction of self.  Your attention naturally inclines to self.  You also naturally incline to individual expression, but you allow yourself heavy influence of the officially accepted reality and attempt to be out-putting continuously.

ANNE:  I’m not sure what you mean by out-putting.

ELIAS:  You attempt to be focusing your attention outwardly.  You occupy your attention with other individuals, attempting to be understanding, to be helpful, to be offering your expression, and to be interactive with other individuals.  But this creates a conflict, for there is also an element of natural friction in which your natural inclination automatically moves back to self.  It wishes to be with self.

You are the round peg.  Here is the square hole.  The square hole of the officially accepted reality en masse is that of the common, which expresses outwardly.  You are the round peg which expresses inwardly, and you are continually moving, attempting to be expressing in the manner that you THINK is acceptable and correct and right and good.  Therefore, you shall attempt to be understanding and offering and giving, in your terms — caretaking — with other individuals, but you are not offering these expressions to yourself.  And yourself, as it is opening to its blossoming of awareness, is beginning to become loud!

ANNE:  Yes, it is!

ELIAS:  And it is beginning to express to you, “Stop!  Be paying attention to me!”

ANNE:  If I can do this, will there be some kind of resolution for everything that conflicts internally?  We live in a society.  I can’t cut myself off!

ELIAS:  I am not expressing to you to be, in your terms, cutting yourself off, to be becoming a hermit.  You may continue to be interactive with other individuals.

I am expressing to you to be turning your attention to self first, to be creating a priority of self first, and recognizing that this also is your natural inclination and your natural movement, and in that natural flow, allow yourself the natural flow. Allow yourself to be engaging your no-conflict scenario and not engaging guilt, for this is a waste of energy.  It is an entirely unnecessary judgment upon self, and this is not the point of the no-conflict scenario.

The point is to be expressing the acceptance of self: that you are acceptable, that your choices are merely choices and they are acceptable, and that you need not be fitting yourself into expressions merely as they are dictated by other individuals.  You hold free will, you hold the ability of choice, and you ARE worthy.  Therefore, you may be creating of your choices, and this shall be the most efficient expression within you.

Now; I shall express to you that initially, other individuals may not necessarily be so very accepting of this type of change in movement or behavior, for just as you are familiar yourself with your movement in the directions that you have created throughout your focus to this point, and just as you automatically magnate to your own familiar behaviors, other individuals also automatically expect certain behaviors to be expressed from you.

http://transcripts.eliasweb.at/t_session?session_nr=445

ELIAS: Let me inquire of you, what do you view as your most strongly expressed and most frequently expressed experience or automatic response?

DANNY: I guess one of them would be I know I have a lot of anger within me. But I don’t necessarily show it to a lot of people.

ELIAS: Very well.

Now; express to myself, what do you view as your trigger in association with anger?

DANNY: I guess being maybe misunderstood, misunderstood in my communications possibly, or something along those lines.

ELIAS: Very well.

Now; in assessing that as your trigger, what do you view that YOU generate that creates this expression of misunderstanding within other individuals?

DANNY: Maybe possibly that I’ve given them mixed communications. That’s possible.

ELIAS: And in these moments...

DANNY: And also that I don’t take much of a stand on many things.

ELIAS: And in these moments, do you express an objective awareness of the type of communication that you are expressing to other individuals?

DANNY: No, most of the time I’d say I just take a calm approach and accept what other people express to me, even though I might disagree with it secretly.

ELIAS: And may you attempt to assess what is your fear?

DANNY: In a way, I’ve told myself — but I don’t think it’s the complete truth — that it goes back to my early years, you know, the need to be liked by many people, to be accepted by many, that kind of deal.

ELIAS: I am understanding. But in this, what are you actually generating?

DANNY: Sort of like a falsehood, because not everybody’s going to love everybody.

ELIAS: Correct, but this is not the point. You are correct that you are expressing a falsehood, but not precisely in relation to the expression that everyone shall or shall not love everyone else. In this, what you are generating is a falsehood to yourself, for you are seeking approval outside of yourself and you are not expressing your own value.

DANNY: Who I am.

ELIAS: Correct. Or paying attention to your choices, your freedom and what YOU want, and how to be expressing YOUR preferences, and therefore expressing yourself genuinely. But in this, the first step, so to speak, is to be recognizing yourself and moving yourself into an expression of value and acceptance.

This is what generates this expression of anger within you. Not necessarily that other individuals are misunderstanding you, but that you are denying your own expressions and stifling your choices and your freedom to be falsely accommodating of other individuals in your seeking of approval. But you do not generate genuine approval from other individuals, for you are not expressing this within yourself.

Now; I am in agreement with your assessment that this has been being expressed for many years within your focus, and your trap, so to speak, is your perception — which creates your reality — of continuing to be a victim of your childhood.

DANNY: Yes. Whew! Yes, indeed. I guess it’s just gonna take practice and communicating my inner stuff, right, to other people? That kind of a thing?

ELIAS: Do not overwhelm yourself, my friend, in generating this type of thought process. For in your terms, this is much too large presently for you to be actually implementing. Allow yourself to relax and allow yourself to begin acknowledging yourself individually and moving into expressions of acceptance of yourself.

Now; the manner in which you may begin this type of action is to be, within your day, paying attention to what you are actually doing, paying attention to what you are expressing to yourself in emotional communications. Even if you are not quite interpreting what the communication IS, merely the noticing of the signal initially is adequate. For there are many expressions within yourself that you are unfamiliar with paying attention to, and this is the reason that you continue to reinforce this familiar behavior in camouflaging yourself. But you are not merely camouflaging yourself to other individuals; you are quite effectively camouflaging yourself to yourself.

In this, as you allow yourself to pay attention within your day to what you are DOING and what you are feeling — regardless of how unimportant it appears in the moment — as you engage that action, intentionally express to yourself not to judge what you are doing. If you are experiencing a depression within a moment, merely notice what you are feeling. Do not attempt to force energy to change that feeling but rather merely notice, acknowledge that this is what you are generating in this moment and not judge it. Whatever you are actually doing in action, notice and relax, and do not judge and do not compare.

This in itself as an initial exercise may be quite challenging, and you may be incorporating some practice in this type of action. But I may express to you quite definitely, it shall be very influencing and beneficial to you, for you have become very accustomed to being a victim. This is a manner in which you may interrupt that familiarity and that continuous reinforcement within yourself, and therefore loosen your attention and allow yourself more of a flexibility with your attention. Therefore, once expressing more flexibility with the movement of your attention, you may begin to recognize more of your choices.

You express a tremendous tightness in your energy, my friend. In this tightness, you are holding to your energy in an expression of protection of yourself. But in actuality you are generating your own prison, are you not?

DANNY: Yes, yes.

ELIAS: Therefore, offer yourself the key to your own lock and allow yourself to relax within yourself, recognizing that there is no outside expression that may be offered by any individual that you need to be expressing protection from, for no other individual may create for you ANY expression within your reality unless you express it yourself.

Another individual may express an intention to be hurtful, but the reality of the situation — and it is QUITE real — is that regardless of any other individual’s intention, it may not penetrate your energy field unless you allow it. Even if you allow it, YOU configure that energy. Therefore, if you are expressing hurtfulness, it is not being generated by another individual. It is an expression which is being generated within you in relation to some choice that you are denying yourself.

ELIAS: Good afternoon!

DARYL: Hello, my friend!

ELIAS: (Laughs) Greetings, my friend!

DARYL: Oh boy! It's been a while since we talked objectively. I guess the first thing I want to discuss briefly with you is about the relationship that we talked about last time.

ELIAS: Very well.

DARYL: I gather that you're kind of aware of what's going on in relation to that, or maybe not, I don't know. Anyway... (Laughs, and Elias laughs)

I realize for my part what I essentially did was kind of become invisible in the situation because of things that are going on with me. I have been spending time bringing various beliefs to my attention, including one area that I have been reluctant to address, which has to do with sexual preferences and mass beliefs. I guess I feel like it's been useful to me even though essentially the relationship has kind of hit a pause at the moment. I've also been learning how much my attention is outside myself. It's given me a real opportunity to kind of practice acknowledging that and trying to change it, although a lot of times I feel like I get really out stuck out there.

So, I guess if there's anything I am not really noticing in that area that would be helpful for me to realize ... if there's anything you would like to say regarding that.

ELIAS: What have you offered to yourself in the identification of holding your attention outside of yourself?

DARYL: Well, that I do it! I start thinking that everything's up to the other person.

ELIAS: And what have you noticed in relation to the ease or the resistance of energy in the time frameworks in which you ARE holding your attention outside of self?

DARYL: I'm sorry, what was the first part of that? I kind of lost it. (Both laugh) What have I noticed in terms of ease?

ELIAS: In terms of ease or resistance in relation to holding your attention outside of self.

DARYL: Well, it seems like a very familiar place, and it seems very difficult to pull myself back in and stay there and keep my attention within self.

When I do keep my attention inside self, it's like this whole different place. I'm content, and I am much more in the now. It's so pleasant there, and then I keep leaving it! I can't understand why I keep leaving this pleasant place to go be in this obsessive unpleasant place, even though it is familiar. (Laughs, and Elias chuckles)

ELIAS: And this is the reason, for it is familiar. I may express to you, my friend, that individuals do not necessarily create what is pleasurable, but experience comfort in the familiar. Comfort is not always expressed in pleasure. (Pause)

DARYL: Yes. I'm gonna be discussing something related to this later, but in between I want to talk to you some about the concept of blueprints and interaction with other people, 'cause that's come up a lot in discussion. I understand that I interact essentially with my version of someone else.

ELIAS: Correct.

DARYL: Okay. The place where I get confused in relationships is that I understand there has to be agreement, but I also understand that my choices are my choices. So, I guess what I'm trying to understand is if I do want a relationship with this person or another person, do I have the absolute choice to have that? And if I choose that, since there seems to be so many aspects of us around, then that will elicit something having to do with them but also my blueprint, and allow me to have that choice?

ELIAS: In a manner of speaking, yes.

Now; recently I have offered explanations to individuals. I have offered an explanation to Lawrence concerning this type of interaction, interaction between individuals. You are correct that the direct interaction with the image of another individual, or the physical aspect of interaction with another individual, is created through the projection of your perception; but you also are receiving energy. The other individual projects energy, and you receive that energy which is projected, and you allow yourself to create a projection through your perception as to what the other individual is creating.

Now; let me express to you, many, many times what you project through your perception is very similar to what the other individual is actually creating and choosing. But I may express to you also that at times another individual projects energy outward, and you may receive that energy, and you may reconfigure it and project an entirely different perception concerning the choice or actions of the other individual.

Now; I may express to you, if your attention is held upon self and you are not engaging issues of fear which distract your attention, for the most part you shall allow yourself to be creating a projection of the other individual based upon their projection of energy, which is the element which provides you with a blueprint of the other individual, and what they are expressing, and what their choices are, and their movement, and any action that they may be incorporating. And in this, as you incorporate that energy and form your blueprint, as I have stated, for the most part you shall create your image of the individual through your perception in very similar manner to what they are actually expressing.

Now; I may also say to you that many times individuals may be creating what you identify as misunderstandings or a lack of understanding, or they may be creating misinterpretations of another individual's creations or actions. For as the energy is received, it is moved through your own filters of your own associations and fears and beliefs, and in this you create an action, as I have stated recently, which may be similar to your physical creations of pinballs.

A ball of energy approaches you from another individual, and as you receive that energy, it may strike an aspect of you or an association within you that you hold, and it may begin striking many different areas within yourself, different issues and associations that you hold, also colliding with your own beliefs and your own discounting of self; and all of these actions in this analogy of this pinball, so to speak, that occur within you reconfigure the original energy projection. And as this is offered to your perception, your perception creates a translation which is more similarly aligned with your own beliefs and issues than it may be with what the other individual is actually projecting.

I may also express to you, for the most part, all of you create a similar action of projecting energy automatically in each movement in each expression that you create, and it is not in actuality directed to any one individual. It is merely a projection outward of your energy in relation to whatever you may be creating in the moment.

Now; this is received more specifically or objectively by individuals that you may be engaging actual physical objective interaction with. This may be in many different manners. It may be within physical proximity, or you do not necessarily need be incorporating physical proximity in your time framework, for you offer yourselves many other avenues of actual objective interaction with each other without incorporating actual physical proximity. This does not lessen the interaction in its objective expression, as you are aware, merely that you are not in actual physical proximity with the individual.

But as I have stated, these types of energy projections are received more intensely and objectively more directly if you are in actual objective interaction with another individual. Are you understanding?

DARYL: Yes.

ELIAS: Now; as to creating what you want in relation to this subject matter and how you create your reality in relation to other individuals, I may express to you, your perception is that which shall create the actual manifestation of what you want. The actual interaction in physical terms with another individual matters not, for what you are interacting with in relation to another individual is not the actual physical manifestation, anyway. What you are directly interactive with is the energy projection from another individual. But the actual interaction in what you term to be physical terms, physical manifestation, is an interaction that you create between yourself and your projection through your perception of the other individual.

Now; the significance of recognition of this manner of creation and physical manifestations is that YOU are directing of all of it. You are not creating another individual's reality. You are not manipulating another individual's energy. You are not dictating to another individual how they shall be creating their reality or what they shall be creating within their reality, and neither are they expressing any of those to you.

You are allowing yourself interaction with the other individual's energy, and you are allowing yourself to be creating an actual manifestation of what you want through your perception. This be the reason that I express to you all so often it matters not what other individuals choose, what other individuals create; it matters not what manifests in situations, in circumstances, or what you view outside of yourself. What holds significance is what you ALLOW yourself to be creating through your perception, for all that is within your individual reality is created by your individual perception. Therefore, [in] allowing yourself permission to be creating what you want, you allow yourself the freedom to create the actual physical manifestation of what you want.

DARYL: So if I understand it, if I continue to want this sort of relationship, I hold the ability, and if I give myself permission then I can have it, period.

ELIAS: Yes.

DARYL: I don't have to get anything from anyone else or get the other person to go along.

ELIAS: Yes.

DARYL: I can just ... I can have it.

ELIAS: Yes.

DARYL: Okay, that's what I thought you were saying, but it is so far out of what we conceive reality to be! (Laughing)

ELIAS: You are correct, and this is...

DARYL: So I can just really go on the assumption that yeah, I've chosen this, and as long as I keep choosing it, then I can have it?

ELIAS: Yes.

DARYL: Oh, that is so empowering!

ELIAS: And that you already have it.

DARYL: Well, I meant this particular...

ELIAS: I am understanding of what you are expressing.

DARYL: And I can also see where I've been taking that energy and doing different things with it.

ELIAS: Correct, and what you have been creating - not entirely, but for the most part - is waiting. You are waiting for the expression of the other individual and the permission of the other individual. What you are creating is waiting for the other individual to create the choice that YOU want.

DARYL: Yes! (Laughing)

ELIAS: This is the reverse of what I am expressing to you. Offer to yourself permission to be creating what you want. No other individual may offer you permission to create what you want. And you may create an expectation that the other individual needs be creating a choice before you may allow yourself to follow and create a choice, and I shall express to you, in that expectation, you also create a set, in a manner of speaking, for disappointment. What you hold power and ability in is to be creating your reality in every aspect of it, in every expression that you want.

I am quite understanding the challenge that is expressed in this information for it is very unfamiliar to you, but it also is quite genuine and actual, and in this the challenge is the acknowledgment and trust of your own abilities and that you actually do hold the ability to be creating all that you want.

http://transcripts.eliasweb.at/t_session?session_nr=798

Hi Athenais,

Yes, I believe the Elias-channel gives some of the better channeled information.
A few years ago I was at a channeling in CA and it was a very interesting experience.
Now, I do value more the content of the messages than anything else.
The people involved, several of whom I have met there, are sincere and capable (inasfar as I can tell).
There are a LOT of links with Jane Roberts' Seth-material, but somehow it feels like a "continuation of information" to me.
I do like that they don't aim at making "great bucks" out of the material...a good sign IMHO.

Spiegel

Thats awesome!  I'd love to go to a group session.  In fact there's one coming up two weeks from now, in Vermont.  I don't quite feel up to making the trip this time though.  Yeah it's definitely a continuation of the Seth material, but takes the same concepts a lot more in depth.  I like how Elias interacts with people and answers questions, rather than just giving dictation, it makes the information a lot more practical.

ELIAS:  Now; I express to you quite clearly, you do create what you concentrate upon, but this is not to say that you necessarily create what you are thinking about.  There is a difference.

Your thoughts may concentrate upon a certain action and may concentrate upon a certain direction, a certain want.  This is not to say that you may necessarily actualize that want merely for the reason that you are concentrating upon it objectively within your thought process.

This is a confusing area and concept for many individuals, for you create a thought process in very absolute terms and you listen to the information that I offer to you in very absolute terms.  Therefore, it is quite easy for this information to be misunderstood and misinterpreted.

As I express to you that you shall create what you concentrate upon, this is also directly influenced, as you are aware, by your beliefs, and in this movement, I have expressed previously to other individuals:  In the area of your wants, if you are creating a line of probabilities and setting those probabilities into motion, it is unnecessary for you as an individual to be concentrating upon those probabilities in a thought process or a thought pattern.  It is unnecessary for the individual to continue to concentrate in thoughts upon what you are creating.

Therefore, what I am expressing essentially is, you may be engaging a situation as you have presented; a particular job, so to speak, that you want to be engaging.

Now; initially, your thought process and the movement of your energy is directed into, “I wish to be engaging this job.”

At that point, that moment, you may move in the direction of expressing to yourself for a time framework, “I shall create this job.  I shall create this job.  I shall engage this job.  I shall be interactive with this job.  It shall be my creation.  It shall actualize.”  And it may not actualize, regardless that you are objectively reinforcing continuously in your thoughts to yourself a concentration upon that creation.

But you may approach the very same scenario, and you may express — WITHOUT thoughts — to yourself the trust and acceptance within yourself of the knowing that the probability has already been set in motion, and therefore it requires no more objective concentration or thought process concerning it, and in that scenario, very often you shall objectify what you want to be creating, for the key element is the trust and the acceptance of self, which allows you the objective knowing that you have already chosen a probability, and the objective thought concentration is not the energy that shall actualize or create that probability.

Therefore, this offers you an element of freedom to be moving your attention in other directions, no longer holding your attention objectively in the area of the probability that you have already set into motion and created.  The knowing is set.  You already hold the knowing that you shall accomplish.  Therefore, it is unnecessary to be objectively concentrating.

(Intently)  The objective concentration upon any particular direction is a direct expression of lack of trust, which is the reinforcement of what you are genuinely concentrating upon, and that is the doubt and the lack of knowing and the lack of trust in your abilities.

Therefore, what I express to you is correct.  You shall create what you are concentrating upon, but your concentration is not necessarily a thought process.  It is what you believe, where your energy is directed.

If your energy is directed in the concentration upon trust and acceptance of self and the knowing that you shall accomplish within your abilities what you set into motion within probabilities, this is what shall be actualized.  If your concentration moves in the direction of discounting of self, of a lack of trust within your abilities, this is what you shall actualize.

It matters not how very intensely you are objectively THINKING with respect to any direction, for your thought process is not influencing to the point of altering your concentration.

Now; do not be confused, for I shall express to you, you shall notice that I do move in a direction at times — infrequently but at times — of engaging conversation with certain individuals, and I shall express to them to be objectively concentrating and creating a thought process of reinforcement in the direction of affirmations.

But this is slightly different, for the direction that I offer to individuals in that expression is to be concentrating within their thought process in the direction of reinforcing their own acceptance of self; not in the creation of an objective manifestation of an action or a thing, but merely to be expressing a continuous reinforcement to themselves of acceptance of self or trust of self, to be moving into an area of dissipating the energy that they hold strongly in discounting of themselves.

But I also express to individuals many times, in their inquiries of why they shall not be creating what they objectively want — and they view themselves to be concentrating quite intensely upon the creation of this objective want — that the reason they are not objectively creating or actualizing that objective want is that their objective thought process does not match the underlying concentration in belief of discounting what they want or their ability to be creating what they want.

Therefore, in the scenario that you have presented, you have already moved your energy and your attention into an acceptance that you do hold the ability to be creating and to be manipulating energy into the objectification or manifestation of your wants.  You do not question or doubt your ability in this direction.  Therefore, you set probabilities into motion, and you do not concern yourself with the objective thought process of concentration in that motion.

This allows you the freedom, in the knowing that the probability has already been chosen and that it shall objectify in the most beneficial manner to you, and this allows you to direct your attention in other areas in which you may quite easily explore all of the other probabilities that are actualized in other probable realities, and this shall not be affecting of what you have chosen within this reality.

http://transcripts.eliasweb.at/t_session?session_nr=499

ELIAS: (Chuckling) Let me express to you, my friend, first of all, you continue to incorporate in similar manner to most individuals within your reality, that there are actions and events and situations that are created independent of you within your reality (and) therefore there are other forces outside of yourself that create some of your reality. In this, you limit yourself, for you do not acknowledge your abilities or your power that you in actuality are creating every aspect of your reality, even other individuals and money.

Now; you are seeking a method to be controlling probabilities that have not been created. Probabilities are created in the moment. They do not lie before you and you choose from them as though you were choosing one card from a complete deck of playing cards. This is not the manner in which probabilities are expressed. Probabilities are created in the moment.

Now; we may express identifications of potentials in association with what you or any other individual may be expressing now. But recognize that these are merely potentials, for every moment incorporates the opportunity for change and every moment incorporates choice. Therefore, there is a considerable variable in which it is unrealistic to be speculating in relation to future.

Now; you may be paying attention to what you are incorporating, what you are doing now. As you become more clearly objectively aware of how you project energy now, you offer yourself your point of power, for you offer yourself the recognition of your ability to change choices and directions intentionally within the now. For in actuality, the future is merely an illusion, and what is generated in what you term to be the future is created now.

PAUL: Right. I had a dream — actually, it was more a nightmare style — but I was fleeing with my ex-wife and my daughter from some uncomfortable terror of some type, and as I said things, you know, watch out for this or watch out for that, they would materialize or manifest themselves left and right. Probably the message to me indirectly was that I can in fact manifest things out of thin air.

ELIAS: Correct!

PAUL: It just was set in a style of a nightmare that I didn’t like!

ELIAS: Which is quite understandable! For you automatically, easily and with little incorporation of thought do generate within any focus many manifestations or experiences that are not necessarily what you express to yourself that you want, but they are quite associated with what you concentrate upon.

http://transcripts.eliasweb.at/t_sessio … on_nr=1240

Yes, I believe the Elias-channel gives some of the better channeled information.
A few years ago I was at a channeling in CA and it was a very interesting experience.

Spiegel

In that respect,  I do not feel this is an invasive projection, if done with the right intent, in fact I was shown that some people are actually willing to swap 'lives', that thier sole (soul) purpose had been to await for that moment. In either case, we are All One (Todos Somos Uno), just experiencing life through various points of perception, so such a transition should be natural.

What a cool sync that you posted this, because I have been listening to this song a lot lately...

ELIAS: I incorporate the term "focus" rather than your term of "lifetime." For what you are is a focus of attention of essence.

You are actually much greater than you appear to be within this physical dimension, and you are unfamiliar, for you have forgotten what you are. You are consciousness. You are an essence of consciousness, which incorporates a personality energy, which is not separated from all of consciousness but generates a unique distinction of personality energy.

Now; as essence, you are tremendously vast, and in similar manner to what you recognize as yourself in this physical manifestation, you incorporate many attentions. You move your attention in many, many directions. As essence, you also move your attention in many directions, but you move it all simultaneously.

Therefore, what you term to be "past lives" is in actuality other focuses of attention of you, and they are all occurring now. It is merely an illusion that you perceive time in a linear fashion, for this is an aspect of the design of this particular physical dimension. There are many physical dimensions, but in this particular physical dimension you have created a design of time that moves in a linear fashion; therefore, this is the manner in which you perceive your reality. In this, you view past, present and future. In actuality, all of the attentions are present; they merely appear to be past or future in association with this particular dimension.

Yes.. I have been having recurring dreams recently, where I look at a person, focus my attention on thier mind (like a hard stare), and then ZOOOOOOOMM..  I am pulled into thier body at frighteningly high speed. I then spend time in that body, observing the feelings of that person, before returning to my own. It started off initially by seeing my duaghter in a distressed state, and I wondered how she was feeling. That became my first encounter (no hard stare!).  Then I explained to my daughter what I had done, and how to do it, when a woman came in the room. I tried to do the swap (with the hard stare, and the woman just gave me a hard stare right back (which my daughter thought was bloomin' hilarious)).

I'm becoming more aware that 4D (our dream state) and 3D are getting closer and closer. I have tried this out in 3D, but it doesn't work (yet). In dreams, it will not work if a persons mind is stronger than => your own, so maybe some mental exercises need to be done there, or more likely it is a case of free will overriding the attempt, regardless of mind power. In that respect,  I do not feel this is an invasive projection, if done with the right intent, in fact I was shown that some people are actually willing to swap 'lives', that thier sole (soul) purpose had been to await for that moment. In either case, we are All One (Todos Somos Uno), just experiencing life through various points of perception, so such a transition should be natural. On the flip side, dark entities could also find a way in through this practise, which is more than likely why the brake is on in 3D at the moment, as the dreams are astral training encounters to prepare us for the shift.

BOBBI: I sensed that, as painful as it was. I was also, in the midst of all this, thinking about the emotion of grief. Would you like to add your comments as to what that is? I've thought of some stuff, but I guess my bottom line question is about that in this physical focus death is an absolute, or it certainly seems to be. There is a definite line. I will not talk to that focus of Lawrence again. I will not see my kitty again, and if things continue to progress with my friend as they have been, I will not be seeing her again after not too long. That's the element that I'm wondering about, the missing, the missing of that physical focus which does seem like an absolute.

ELIAS: I am aware that it appears to be an absolute, although it is not. What your association is, which is quite strong within this physical dimension, is what is being expressed in the emotional communication of grief. This communication is identifying to you the strength of separation. Individuals experience this emotion of grief as a communication to themselves identifying their expression of separation in extreme and the intensity of the alignment with this expression in association with your beliefs. In actuality, it is not an absolute, but this expression of separation is quite strongly generated in this physical dimension and has been throughout your history quite purposefully.

Now; in this time framework, as you are participating in this shift in consciousness, and you are thinning these veils as you objectively insert this shift into your reality, more and more you shall allow yourselves to view the lack of absoluteness in association with some expressions that generate tremendous separation. I have been expressing to you all from the onset of this forum that one of the veils of separation that you are dropping in association with this shift in consciousness is concerning what you term to be death and the movement from one expression of consciousness to another.

I am recognizing in your questioning and in your associations that objectively you have not yet recognized that lack of separation.

BOBBI: (Laughs) You're correct!

ELIAS: But you are also addressing to the influences of it. Therefore, you are generating movement in the direction of dropping these veils, for you are allowing yourself to notice and pay attention in questioning and exploring the identification of grief.

BOBBI: I recognized that was the main message in the emotion of grief, was the belief in the absoluteness of the separation.

ELIAS: Correct, which is a denial of your choices, once again.

BOBBI: Which lends to the extremeness of that emotion.

ELIAS: Correct. And this is an...

BOBBI: So how do I move beyond that or thin those veils further or lift them or...?

ELIAS: Let me express to you, my friend, the most strongly expressed communications that you offer to yourselves in emotional expressions concern the denial of your choices. This is expressed in sadness, in grief, in anger. These are very strongly expressed emotions, and they incorporate very strongly expressed signals, what you term to be deeply felt. The reason that you generate these types of signals in association with this particular message, as I have stated recently, is that the one expression that in your terms could figuratively move an essence to weep is an expression of denying choice, for it is an unnatural expression. Therefore, you generate quite strong signals and messages in the moments that you are expressing that action.

Now; in association with these communications, allowing yourself to recognize that this is what you are generating, you may offer yourself an expression of choice. I am understanding that offering yourself permission to be generating choice may be quite challenging in these types of expressions, for this also requires trust: trust of yourself, not discounting yourself, not doubting yourself, and trust of your ability which may be naturally expressed without force. Recognizing that you do incorporate choice, regardless of the influence of your beliefs, you may allow yourself to move in merely one step of attempting to open your awareness and therefore recreate or create again your interaction. And you may, but this one action is quite challenging.

This is not to say that you may not accomplish, but I am recognizing in association with the strength of the influence of beliefs and your automatic responses to them, allowing yourself to relax and recognize that you do incorporate choice may be, in your terms, quite difficult.

BOBBI: Well, it has been. Because in looking for the choice in those moments of that emotion, I've missed out on what the choices might be.

ELIAS: Let me express to you, my friend, it is not always important to objectively identify in a particular moment an identification of a particular choice. It is not always necessary to know objectively what your choice of method may be. What is significant is that you allow yourself a genuine recognition that you incorporate choice regardless of whether you identify what the choice is, for it is so strongly expressed in association with the beliefs that you do not incorporate choice: "this creature has disengaged, this individual has disengaged; I cannot interact any longer." Therefore it matters not what method may be engaged, for you are already expressing to yourself the denial: "I cannot."

BOBBI: I see. I've closed off the possibility of choice, then.

ELIAS: Correct.

Now; let me also express to you that expressing to yourself that you can and merely that you do incorporate choice, does not necessarily necessitate that you generate any definitive action other than allowance. Therefore, in recognition that you do incorporate choice, you may allow yourself merely to relax and allow for the choices to be engaged, without incorporating a physical doing of action.

In this, allow yourself a reinforcement also in relation to the belief and in relation to the allowance of choice in recognizing that individuals within your physical dimension do actually express this allowance and choose not to be aligning with the influence of beliefs concerning separation in association with death, to the point at times of allowing themselves actual physical interaction with the individual that has disengaged. For be remembering, every expression within all of your reality - ALL of your reality - that you perceive is being manifest by you.

What are you actually interactive with in relation to any other expression of consciousness? An energy projection, not a physical form. YOU generate the physical form. YOU generate the manifestation through your perception. Therefore, may you interact with a projection or exchange of energy with another individual that has disengaged? Yes. And in a manner of speaking the extent of how you allow yourself to receive and configure that energy, there are individuals that actually project the physical manifestation of the individual and allow themselves to be physically interactive again, and this is quite real.

BOBBI: So when that occurs, what are they interacting with? Just simply their projection, or in conjunction with an energy deposit, or is there an actual interaction with that essence? What exactly would they be interacting with?

ELIAS: Energy, which is what you are interactive with in physical focus also.

BOBBI: With energy from the person who has disengaged?

ELIAS: Yes. Let me express to you, my friend, contrary to the expression of your beliefs, you may be interactive with what you physically view to be another individual and not actually be interacting with an energy projection from the other individual; but within your physical focus, you may be at times interacting with an energy deposit of the other individual. It is no less an expression of that individual's energy.

BOBBI: Oh. I guess I've always thought there was a distinction there, a difference.

ELIAS: The difference is the attention of the other individual. An energy deposit may or may not incorporate the individual's attention. At times, it may. Many times it may not, but it is no less an expression of the individual's energy.

In this, have you not engaged even one experience within your focus in which you perceive to be expressing an interaction with another individual and the other individual may express no objective awareness of the action occurring, period?

BOBBI: Yes.

ELIAS: You may be interacting with an energy expression, an energy deposit of the other individual which is not incorporating the other individual's attention. Therefore you are engaging the other individual's energy and you are allowing yourself to configure that energy and project that through your perception, generate an actual physical interaction with the other individual. Subsequently you may be interactive with an actual exchange of energy with the attention of the other individual, and you may express your experience and the other individual may incorporate no objective experience.

Therefore, you may generate the same action in relation to an attention that has disengaged. You may be interactive with an energy deposit which may be an interaction - it is quite real - or you may allow yourself to be exchanging energy with the attention. Your experience in what you generate through your perception may vary in intensity and in solidity. You may allow yourself to be interactive within dream imagery or within audible voices, movement of objects, or you may actually generate a physical form.

BOBBI: I guess the first step is opening myself to the possibility or the choice of doing that.

ELIAS: Correct. The first step, so to speak, is recognizing the denial of choice, acknowledging that belief and the influence of it, not denying the belief also, which merely reinforces the denying of the choice; but once acknowledging the influence of the belief and recognizing its existence, so to speak, allowing yourself to genuinely recognize that you incorporate choice regardless of the existence of the belief or not.

ELIAS: (Chuckles) This day we shall be discussing thought. To begin with, what is thought?

PARTICIPANT: Translation of a communication.

ELIAS: Correct. What does that mean?

RODNEY: It means I’m getting an awful lot of information! (Laughs)

ELIAS: Not necessarily! I have discussed this subject previously but perhaps not to the extent that you incorporate a clear understanding of what thought is and what function it performs.

First of all, thought does not create your reality. It is a mechanism of translation and interpretation. It interprets and translates information that you offer to yourself through avenues of communication. Thought is NOT an avenue of communication. It TRANSLATES communications.

Thought follows communications. It FOLLOWS information. It does not produce it; it does not precede it. It always follows. You do, you receive, you input, you think. You do not think first and subsequently input. Thought can only translate what is being inputted to it. Therefore, it is a matter of attention that drives thought. What you present to yourself in relation to your attention is what you input to thought for it to translate.

This is exceptionally important, that you understand this mechanism. It is natural for you to think, and I am not expressing any discouragement from thinking, but it is important that you understand this mechanism and therefore incorporate a clear ability to use it in the most effective and efficient manner.

You all incorporate some types of electronics, correct?

Now; in association with electronics, if you set your electronics to an “on” position and leave it in that “on” position continuously, what shall occur?

RODNEY: The program will keep running and changing from time to time, like a radio or TV.

ELIAS: Correct, and what occurs eventually to that equipment?

PARTICIPANT: It burns out.

ELIAS: Correct, for it is not designed to be on continuously. Neither is your thought mechanism. If it is on continuously and if you are paying attention to it continuously, you are not offering it new information. Therefore, it relies on previous information and it begins to malfunction. The malfunction is that it moves into repeat — repeat, repeat, repeat. And the more it repeats, the more you pay attention. It becomes a destructive cycle.

Thought can actually interrupt information. It can actually malfunction your body consciousness. It can interrupt sleep, it can interrupt dream imagery, it can interrupt concentration, and it can create significant confusion and frustration in association with the repeat.

If you are not moving your attention in different manners, inputting new information, and are paying attention merely to your thought process — or paying main attention to your thought processes — it begins to generate this malfunction, in which it cannot translate new information. Therefore, it blocks new information and it is engaged, for your attention moves to it, and being engaged, it can only translate what it already has in input.

This is inefficient and ineffective, and can actually be somewhat damaging to you. It can block emotional communications. It can agitate the body consciousness, which may react in tension, and that can create difficulties for you as individuals physically.

Thought can be very beneficial if it is being incorporated for what it is, if it is being used as a translating mechanism and if you are allowing yourself to move your attention. This is important.

Many, many, many individuals presently are becoming so very focused upon thought that they are confusing themselves and generating the action of thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking — not paying attention to what they are doing, but thinking, thinking, thinking. In the repeat of thinking, it can strongly influence you to repeat certain doings that you do not like.

You can generate an experience that is uncomfortable and subsequently you can engage your attention with thinking, thinking, thinking of that past experience and continue to agitate yourself, offer yourself no solutions or answers to your dilemma, for what you are generating is merely the replay of the experience that you did not like. That also can very easily generate influencing yourself to be discounting of yourself repeatedly and not trusting yourself. For in being stuck in the repeat, not offering yourself new information, you become unmotivated or you feel stuck, and you discount yourselves in expressing to yourselves “I cannot accomplish.” You can, but it is a matter of paying attention to actual communications, not the translation continuously.

The communications that you generate, generally speaking, do not involve language. Therefore, thought is very useful, for it translates your communications into language that you understand. This is the reason that it is important to be flexible with your attention and to recognize that attention is not thought.

You can be paying attention to many different aspects of your experiences within your day and not be engaging thought. The information that you offer to yourself is continuously being inputted. You are always generating information. You generate information through your inner senses, through your outer senses, through your intuition, your impressions, your impulses, imagination, your body consciousness. You are constantly offering yourself information, but you may not be paying attention to what that information is.

How often are you aware within your day of what your air feels like, how it feels upon your skin? How often are you aware of the smell of your environment? How often are you aware of sounds that are not directly affecting you or that you are not directly engaging? There are many actions that are occurring within your day that you are not aware of, for you are not paying attention. Many times the reason that you are not paying attention is that you are thinking.

Many times thinking can even interrupt doing. Individuals express confusion in association with time. They do not understand how time escapes them so frequently. They do not incorporate enough time to accomplish what they want within a day. Those individuals may recognize much of their time is being incorporated in the mere doing of thinking, not actually engaging any other action but merely paying attention to thinking. And in those moments, what are you thinking of? Now? No. Future? Yes. Past? Yes. But not now, not present. In this, that also prevents you many times from being aware of what you are actually generating within your body consciousness, within your movement.

You can actually also generate the reverse. You can interrupt thinking. But this, for many individuals, is more difficult, for you become so caught in the fascination of your own thought processes that you do not realize what you are doing, and therefore, it continues to cycle.

You can interrupt thought by engaging your physical senses. They do not require thought to engage. You can also interrupt thought by paying attention to what you are actually doing, regardless of what it is. It may be sweeping your floor. It may be watering your plants. It may be patting your creatures. It matters not action you are engaging.

If you move your attention to what you are actually doing, this can also interrupt thought and reset it. For in moving your attention to what you are doing, you allow an opening for new information, different information, and in that, it allows thought to reset itself and begin translating accurately, not repeating. Therefore, it interrupts the malfunction aspect of thought and moves it into what it is designed for.

How many individuals within this present room have generated an experience in any moment that confused them or distressed them and then incorporated hours or even days of thinking in relation to that one event? (General consensus from the group) And how productive is that, actually? How often do you actually offer yourself constructive information in relation to that action?

You may at times offer yourself a sliver of information, generally speaking, that shall occur for in one moment you may incorporate a distraction from the repeat, which may allow a small expression of new information. But generally speaking, it creates frustration and even irritation, and it emphasizes what it is repeating. Therefore, you may generate a small experience and within days that small experience may become quite significant. For in the repeat, you are also generating new versions of the experience and enhancing them and elaborating upon them to emphasize to yourself.

It is not uncommon that an individual may generate a small interaction with another individual that may be somewhat disturbing or perhaps embarrassing or perhaps slightly irritating, and if the individual continues to generate the repeat in thought concerning that interaction, generally speaking within a day or several days the recall of that experience shall be quite enhanced and quite different from the original interaction and shall seem much more significant, and you shall either discount yourself much more than is necessary or you shall blame the other individual much more than is necessary.

It also generates a difficulty in relation to guidelines. For you all, as you are aware now, incorporate your own individual guidelines which motivate you to create your reality in the manner that you do. There are many aspects of your individual guidelines that are subtle — or obvious — enough that you do not notice your own automatic responses, and you continue to move in the expression of assuming that every other individual incorporates your same guidelines, for they are so absolute — and how can they not?

Thinking can also emphasize that and emphasize that separation of difference for it emphasizes blame, that other individuals are not generating actions in the same manner as yourself in certain situations, and of course, each of you with your individual guidelines hold some aspects of those guidelines that you genuinely view as not merely absolute but universal. Every other individual upon your planet MUST incorporate the same association with certain aspects of guidelines, for they merely are. There is no question.

What goes up must come down — not necessarily. If I perceive in this manner, you must perceive in this manner also, for it merely is. Not necessarily. If I express “no,” you should understand “no.” Not necessarily.

It is a matter of perception, and every individual’s perception is different, and each person’s perception creates their actual reality. In association with that, as you view another individual generating differently from yourself and incorporate the initial thinking to be translating and evaluating what is occurring, but then turn your attention to the thought process and move into repeat, you can actually irritate yourself, confuse yourself and generate conflict within yourself in relation to what is being repeated. The significance of this is that it is not productive and it can be damaging, and is, to many individuals.

Dream imagery is created by the objective awareness’s involvement in sleep state in relation to the subjective actions and movement that is occurring. Thinking can interrupt dream imagery, for in the action of dreaming you are not engaging thinking. You are doing. This is partially the reason that many times individuals incorporate difficulty in recalling dream imagery within waking state, which can be altered through different methods, but a natural reason that you incorporate difficulty is that you are not engaging your thought mechanism. You are creating objective imagery, but you are not necessarily engaging the mechanism to translate that. Movement is occurring and you are assimilating it, and it will be expressed within your waking objective experience in some manner in abstract imagery but you may not necessarily associate that with the dream imagery itself.

Dream imagery also, generally speaking, is somewhat less abstract than your waking imagery, and your thought mechanism is accustomed to translating abstract. Therefore when you do recall dream imagery, it may be confusing, for it is being processed through the thought mechanism. The thought mechanism is very accustomed to abstraction, and dream imagery is less abstract than waking imagery. It is more associated with emotional communication, feeling — feeling signals. Therefore, the imagery is more precisely generated in association with emotional communication and feeling and signals.

Therefore, you may generate a dinosaur in your dream imagery and your thought process may be attempting to translate that and may generate many different associations: large, heavy, old, carnivorous. Your feeling or emotional expression of it may be one simple signal — frightening. But you may not necessarily feel fear, for it is not necessary to feel it. You are translating it into imagery, but the thought mechanism incorporates some difficulty in translating into language.

Visualizations do not require thinking, either. But many individuals incorporate difficulty in generating visualizations, for they incorporate thinking and that interrupts the visualization, for it does not allow a free flow of energy for you to present to yourself what you do not expect. Therefore, visualization is difficult.

Another element of thinking that can be disruptive is that most of you want to be engaging allowing other sources of information, information from yourself or from other areas of consciousness or from other focuses or from other dimensions or tapping into other sources of information within consciousness. Thinking can interrupt and block this also. For thinking follows, it does not initiate, and it expresses in language. Some of the experiences that you wish to incorporate are not necessarily translatable yet into language, for you have not yet expanded your language enough to incorporate the identification of some of your experiences. You are redefining within your language and you are expanding your languages, but in this time framework it is not expanded enough to generate an explanation in language of your experiences, which can also block that expansion that you want to be incorporating.

And I am viewing all of you intensely thinking concerning what I am expressing! (Chuckles)

GILLIAN: I recognize the irritation question more easily. Government control, protection from outside — it’s a really irritating factor in my life, and that’s where I’m going at the moment. I am experiencing and drawing it all to me, and it’s an irritating experience. It’s like, why? I don’t really like this, but I know I’m experiencing it and I know I’m creating it. Before that, it was like, “No problem! I’ll just circle it, go the other way.” But it’s a real irritation — form-filling and what-have-you. That’s my irritation.

ELIAS: Very well. In this, you are irritated at the difference.

GILLIAN: How do I go into the acceptance of it? I don’t want to pull it into my life, but I’m doing it. I’ve created a situation where I need assistance in a specific way. There are other areas where I don’t need assistance, but they’re still poking their nose in my life.

ELIAS: And what is need?

GILLIAN: Monies to live, lack of employment, a roof over my head. They’re doing a wonderful job, but on the other hand I’m really irritated with this form filling. I haven’t done it in forever in my life; I just didn’t create that. But I’m doing it now.

ELIAS: But you chose that.

GILLIAN: I know I chose it! But why?

ELIAS: For you generate a perception that you incorporate a need. What is a need?

GILLIAN: I’ve never lacked before.

ELIAS: Need is a perceived lack. A need may be expressed in association with an anticipated lack, a present lack, and loss or the anticipated loss. That generates the feeling and the perception of need, which also generates you into the role of the victim, not creating your reality any longer but dependent upon other individuals or other sources to create your reality for you.

GILLIAN: The “dependent” word is important. But at the same time, I realize what I’m doing. When I’m looking into creating my reality, I’m looking into my abundance at the same time and saying I come from a space where there’s enough to go around. This is juxtaposing the thing; it’s sort of knocking it on the head.

ELIAS: You generate an irritation with the method.

GILLIAN: That makes sense to me.

ELIAS: But you have chosen to participate in the method.

GILLIAN: That I know, but it irritates me anyway.

ELIAS: And the irritation is expressed in association with difference.

GILLIAN: But I am different.

ELIAS: I am understanding, but other individuals are different also. That is the point: not opposing. What creates the irritation is the opposition.

GILLIAN: So I’m polarizing into “I’m a free-flowing being and you’re not a free-flowing being.”

ELIAS: Which is what?

GILLIAN: Opposition.

ELIAS: Opposition and judgment and a lack of acceptance of difference. As I have stated, this is the most difficult and challenging experience and expression that you shall encounter in association with this wave addressing to truth: difference.

GILLIAN: I know, but I always thought I was pretty cool on that!

ELIAS: And obviously you are offering yourself new information... (Group laughter)

GILLIAN: I am, indeed!

ELIAS: ...concerning your absolutes.

GILLIAN: Now the fear bit has come into my head, and the fear bit is the dependency. Throughout my life I’ve quite adequately created a dependency without always worrying about it but oftentimes worrying about it.

I’ve moved into a space lately in the last six or eight months where I’ve felt like I was actually making a change in my life, and I was actually choosing to be independent and creating everything the way I wanted to. But the dependency is still there, and it scares me. (Emotionally) It scares me to bits because I feel I’ll never get there.

ELIAS: I am understanding, and this also is associated with control. Many individuals incorporate STRONG tendencies in association with control in different capacities. Control is a very strong expression and association that many of you incorporate. For if you do not incorporate control, how shall you manipulate your environment and your focus? How shall you generate intentionally creating what you want if you do not express control? But control is not the issue.

GILLIAN: No, it’s not, and I recognize that.

ELIAS: But it matters not, for underlyingly it IS the issue.

GILLIAN: I have so much support in my dependency. But I would like to just wake up one morning and say, “Hey, way to go! I created what I want to create, and I did this on my own,” even though you offer me and I allow supportiveness, to be able to say, “I’m okay.”

ELIAS: Yes, for you have created that.

What you are opposing is yourself. In opposing yourself and in denying yourself the acknowledgment of yourself, you generate fear and irritation. You oppose yourself and you oppose other individuals, but more so you oppose yourself.

GILLIAN: Yes, and I do that a lot.

ELIAS: In this, the key important point is to balance and to begin to acknowledge yourself that whatever method you choose to accomplish any particular direction or desired outcome matters not — you have accomplished the outcome.

GILLIAN: I do have moments when I look at it to remind myself that that’s exactly what I want. I know and I recognize those moments. But there are other moments where I’m in complete, well, not quite despair, like how I’ve been before; I haven’t gone to that deep space of I can’t get out of it. But the extremes! One day it’s like, “Hey, you’re on top of the world,” and then the next day I’m crying and crying. What the hell is this about?

ELIAS: This concerns this wave and the extreme...

GILLIAN: How soon is it going?

ELIAS: It is not. (Laughter) That is the reason that I continue to address to this with all of you, for it is NOT receding. The reason it is not receding is what we are addressing now, this type of situation, (and)many, many other types of situations.

All of you present in this forum this day have some elements within you that are opposing and are generating that fear and irritation, and it concerns difference. The point is to be genuinely evaluating what that is being generated from, for it is NOT being generated from outside of you. It does not concern other individuals or collective individuals or governments or any other expression. It is what you are opposing within yourselves and what you are denying within yourselves.

This is what continues to be expressed and this is the reason that this particular wave is not ceasing, which is being expressed in quite obvious terms in relation to your world, which is experiencing tremendous turmoil and tremendous polarization and tremendous opposition.

The point is that each of you makes a contribution. What is your contribution? Is your contribution opposition? For there is no collective without the individuals. The most significant is the individual. This is the movement of this shift, movement into directing yourselves, not allowing other individuals or authorities or groups to be dictating to you but for you to be choosing and creating in your own empowerment and your own recognition of your freedom and your strength.

Some of you are generating more of an awareness of this and are creating less opposition and less conflict, and some of you are generating more conflict and more opposition. But each of you incorporates some element in which you do generate opposition, and that creates fear and irritation.

That is the point, to be aware of what it is that you generate within yourself that creates that fear or that irritation. You cannot address to what you are expressing or what you are creating if you are not aware of what it is. It is important that you are aware and you allow yourselves to actually see yourselves and know that you are not a victim, that YOU are generating all of these choices, and (know) what type of energy you are projecting that influences your environment and what you create outwardly.

Individuals in recent time framework have been projecting energy in volumes of “Why? Why is this occurring? Why is this happening? Why am I doing this?” You are giving yourselves no answers, which I have addressed previously. “Why” is a question that is so very familiar you do not respond to yourself if you inquire “why.” You merely engage your hamster wheel again and again, and you offer yourselves no information. But figuratively I may express to you, (wryly) those of us in the cosmos have been receiving tremendous shouts of “Why?” (Laughter) This is the reason that I speak to you, and my energy is always with you.

But it is your responsibility to generate the openness to receive information or to provide yourselves with information, and that is what each of you are doing in this moment. You are creating this. You are creating myself as a means to offer yourselves information. Credit yourselves with the information that you receive this day. Do not credit me, for you are all creating this scenario.
