Participants: Mary (Michael) and Wendy (Wynnett)
Elias arrives at 9:39 AM. (Arrival time is 20 seconds.)
ELIAS: Good morning!
WENDY: Good morning, Elias.
ELIAS: (Chuckles) Welcome!
WENDY: Thank you so much. There is more than one of us here. You may be aware of that. (Laughs)
ELIAS: And you may proceed.
WENDY: Thank you. I wanted to just acknowledge the possibility that the reason that our session did not go through last week is that we were not ready.
ELIAS: Correct.
WENDY: Hey! (Laughs with Elias) We wanted to practice whatever we are doing together!
So, just to be clear on the outside, we are a small group, we call ourselves the Dreamteam, and there are five of us who have questions that we want to ask.
ELIAS: Very well.
WENDY: I think to begin with, I would like to introduce Philoan. Her essence name is Callicoe.
ELIAS: Very well.
WENDY: She, and also we, are curious about a dream that she had. She had this dream the night before she received her first email from Miranda. Am I pronouncing that correctly?
ELIAS: Yes.
WENDY: Great. Shall I tell you a little bit about the dream? We would love to have your comments on it.
ELIAS: Very well.
WENDY: She is riding on a large bus with other people. They are going to the seventh dimension, and she sees a very bright light, brighter than the sunlight, which is surrounding the bus. She also sees a piece of yellow paper with unusual characters, like some old ancient language, on the floor. A woman enters the bus, sits in front of her and says something to her that she does not understand, and there is a piece of yellow paper on the back of the woman's seat. She exchanges a piece of green paper for this yellow paper. At that moment, the bus was going through the bright light. Others on the bus did not seem to have a hard time with this, although she was thinking that they could disintegrate and turn into pure energy. She sees an older man there who she identifies as an ascended master. He is teaching the people on the bus about the seventh dimension. She gets off the bus with the woman who was sitting in front of her and they exchange a very warm sisterly hug.
She woke up feeling very loving and also knowing that she is well loved and connected with others in the universe, and she described it as a really strange and very euphoric feeling. So this is the dream, as I made a little summary of it, and we all loved it when Callicoe told us about this dream and we all wondered what connection that may have had to the Dreamteam. Was she really anticipating meeting all of us?
ELIAS: And in your discussion together concerning this dream imagery, what have you shared of your impressions in relation to this imagery?
WENDY: Well, she is very sure, in fact all of us are very sure, that the woman on the bus was Miranda and that this was her meeting Miranda on the inner plane. In fact, maybe it was the way Miranda was inviting Callicoe to have contact. We also felt that it maybe indicated something about the reason for us coming together. Callicoe had always felt pretty sure that it's very simple. It's just about our spirit-selves, I guess, to use that language, being connected, so that supporting each other on the inner, we would function better on the outer.
ELIAS: I am understanding. I may express to you that your impressions are correct, and that this meeting was an expression of imagery in relation to a projection of energy of Miranda. In this, in your terms, the purpose, so to speak, of the presentment of this imagery was symbolic in the allowance of the knowing that you actually are not manifesting to be learning, so to speak, but rather to be recognizing your interconnectedness with each other, and allowing yourselves the recognition of being fellow travelers together and sharing the appreciation of yourselves and of each other in remembrance of yourselves as essence together.
WENDY: Oh, that's wonderful. I really believe ... I don't believe, I experience that that's how we experience each other and have evolved over time. We've been together for some five years, and it really has evolved that way. We also wanted your comment on our inner intent, what has brought us together, and I guess you have just given us the confirmation of that, which is that we simply wanted to experience and recognize each other as fellow travelers.
ELIAS: Correct. This is significant, my friend, for what you are allowing yourselves is a genuine recognition of what you are actually choosing in physically manifesting within this physical dimension, that you are not occupying some lower plane, but that you have chosen another avenue to be exploring consciousness in a physical manner.
In this, in addition to your purpose of experiencing, so to speak, you also are moving into the expression of genuine recognition of each other as being interconnected as essences and choosing to be manifest with each other many times. Therefore, there is a familiarity of energy and a recognition of each other as essence, and in that you are opening an avenue in relation to each other to be genuinely experiencing the remembrance of yourselves and of each other as essence in your travel in movement in association with this shift in consciousness.
As I have expressed previously with other individuals, you allow yourselves a facilitation of movement in numbers. You generate a stronger energy as you allow yourselves to congregate in groups. For as you focus your energy together, you generate a strength in energy which benefits all of the individuals within the group unit and allows you a greater ease in your accomplishments and in your movement in understanding and recognition of your abilities, and facilitates a movement of energy with you each in allowing you more of an ease in acceptance and trust of yourselves in relation to your abilities, for you offer a supportiveness to each other in a common direction.
WENDY: As you say this, I recognize that Callicoe really did understand our intent. She spoke of this support, and she spoke of this support making our movement more easy.
ELIAS: Correct.
WENDY: She did not use really quite exactly those words, but...
ELIAS: It matters not.
WENDY: It matters not, exactly. Elias, we have a place, sort of, that we call the meadow. We could say it's an invention of our imagination, but it really feels to me like an inner reality. It's really fun that we all participate in this together. Speaking for myself, I know I can do things there, I can experience things there together with the others that I just wouldn't believe. I love it because it's so much fun, it's so lyrical, and it's so ... it's like sunshine in soap bubbles. (Laughs and Elias laughs) Can you comment on what kind of reality is the meadow?
ELIAS: I may express to you, it is quite real, and I may say to you imagination is quite real also. Imagination is actually an avenue of communication that you offer to yourselves, and whatever you may imagine IS reality in some capacity of consciousness, for it may not be imagined if you have not created it. Therefore, it is quite real.
In this, all that exists is not necessarily inserted into your actual physical manifestations within your physical dimension. This is not to say that it is not quite real and that it does not exist. You as essences incorporate the ability, in like manner to every other essence within consciousness, to move your attention from one dimension to another, to one area of consciousness to another, and in this allowing yourselves to project, which is what you are accomplishing in your interaction in relation to this place, so to speak.
You allow yourselves to relax your energy and move your attention, which once again is quite significant, especially in association with this shift in consciousness. For this is an aspect of widening your awareness, allowing yourselves the freedom to move outside of your beliefs concerning singularity and focusing your attention so very tightly in separation in this objective expression of your physical dimension.
This also allows you to view, experience and participate in interactions with each other in different realities and different areas of consciousness, which reinforces your recognition of yourselves as incorporating much more abilities and freedom than you generally allow yourselves in objective waking state.
Now; let me also express to you, another significance of allowance of this type of movement is that it reinforces your knowing of yourselves as essence and your abilities to generate.
Now; this is significant, for in practicing and allowing yourself playfulness in this other reality, you may also translate that type of movement into THIS reality and recognize that you incorporate the same abilities. If you are allowing yourselves, and generating that trust and acceptance of yourselves, and incorporating that type of playfulness with yourselves and each other, you may create that type of reality in this physical dimension.
WENDY: It's true. It does work that way. There is a character I want to know who or what it is. I could say it is just an invention of my imagination, but we have already discussed that it is not "just." It can be quite real.
There is a character called Minx. Sometimes I or we call him the Minx. He is kind of a cat-like character, but he is not all cat; he seems somewhat human, also - but he is extra-human. He is totally unique. He appeared in this play of ours, and he is attached or connected to me somehow. It is as if he is a member of the Dreamteam in his own right. He feels like a "he" to me. The more I allow myself to connect and communicate with the Minx, the more real in this physical reality he feels to me, and he is a wonderful contribution to me. He brings up my humor and my fun, and he tickles and teases and has a wonderful connection with Ahmed. The two of them are like totally together. They are always making mischief together. Can you comment, who is the Minx?
ELIAS: Another focus of your essence, physically manifest within another physical dimension.
WENDY: Oh my! And what is his essence name?
ELIAS: The same as yours.
WENDY: Oh... So he is another focus of Wynnett?
ELIAS: Yes.
WENDY: (Laughs) Oh, that's great!
ELIAS: Manifest within another physical dimension, and in this you have extended the invitation that he be participating with your group. This also is significant in relation to the movement of this shift in consciousness.
As I have expressed previously, in widening your awarenesses one of the by-products of that action is piercing these veils of separation and allowing yourselves the recognition of the interaction with and the knowing of other aspects of yourselves as essence, other focuses of yourselves within other physical dimensions and in other areas of consciousness that may not necessarily be physically manifest, for you are tremendously more vast as essence than you generally recognize.
WENDY: Yeah, for sure. With Lyryn - that's his essence name, that is how I pronounce it, Lyryn - he has an aspect, in my language I would call it an aspect, that we call the BlueDragon. Is Lyryn's BlueDragon similar to Minx or is it something else?
ELIAS: Quite similar, yes, which actually also occupies the same physical dimension.
WENDY: The same physical dimension as Lyryn now?
ELIAS: As the Minx.
WENDY: Ah! They are together?
ELIAS: Yes.
WENDY: (Laughs) Can you tell us about other characters like the BlueDragon and the Minx who may be other focuses existing now of other members, like Ricanna or Ahmed or Miranda?
ELIAS: I have expressed in what you would term to be early conversations in this forum that there actually is a physical dimension in which the beings, so to speak, of that physical dimension are manifestations that you in this physical dimension express as imaginary or fantasy.
Now; in that time framework in which I offered that information, individuals accepted less than a readiness to be accepting of that information (laughing), but in actuality this is quite genuine. As I have expressed, you shall not imagine a manifestation or an expression if it does not exist or if you have not actually created that.
In this, the physical dimension that you have allowed yourselves to tap into and to be playing with is one that incorporates many of these manifestations that you have incorporated in your dimension as folklore and fantasy, with many unusual manifestations that you term to be creatures such as dragons and nymphs, minotaurs - many different types of fantasy creatures. In actuality, they are not creatures, and they communicate and they are playful and they actually occupy an actual physical dimension.
In this I may also express to you, individuals that interact with what you term to be fairies should not necessarily be dismissed so very quickly, for these also are manifestations within that physical dimension. They do not occupy YOUR physical reality, but this is not to say that you may not tap into that physical reality and be interactive with them, for they are other manifestations of your essences; therefore, they are aspects of yourselves.
I may express to you, and you may playfully investigate, I shall offer to you three other manifestations, that if you are choosing an openness you may also interact with them, and you may discover which is associated with which individual within your group. One is another dragon.
WENDY: Is it a rainbow dragon?
ELIAS: Almost, not entirely, but is quite colorful. One is a fairy, and one is what you identify in your folklore, so to speak, as a Pegasus. Now I have identified the manifestations, and together you may discover which one is associated with which individual.
WENDY: Oh, that will be so great! That is really so much fun. (Laughs)
ELIAS: And perhaps this shall be your new game.
WENDY: That shall be our new game and what fun we will have with it. (Both laugh) I want to move to a question of Gabriela/Roiann.
ELIAS: Very well.
WENDY: This is her first contact with you in this way, and she wants to ask about other selves, about other focuses that she has in this and other dimensions. Connected to that, she wants to know for herself a little bit about the possibility of how she can get to know her other selves, and she did ask - let's see if I can read it - in this physical focus, what can you say about what she has chosen to experience, especially the harder parts?
ELIAS: Offer additional explanation to clarify this question concerning this present focus.
WENDY: Do you want some clarification about which experiences?
ELIAS: Yes.
WENDY: Well, I know that her childhood was in Colombia and was pretty difficult. I cannot give you details about that because I just don't know. So if we need more detail about this question maybe we can just give her a comment about how she can connect with her other selves.
ELIAS: Very well. I may express to you, in actuality allowing one's self to be viewing or interacting with other focuses or other aspects of yourselves is quite easily accomplished. You may incorporate dream state and allow for the generation of viewing other focuses in dream imagery. The manner in which she may express this more easily is to be directing her attention prior to engagement of dream state, expressing the suggestion to herself that she is intending to be viewing another focus of herself in this physical dimension. This may be easier initially than movement into another physical dimension, for individuals, generally speaking, do generate some aspect of fear initially in association with other physical dimensions. Therefore, it may be expressed much more easily to allow yourselves to view or interact with physical manifestations in THIS dimension first.
Now; in offering the suggestion "I wish to be exploring another focus in this physical dimension," that is enough direction to yourself. You need not be expressing the rigidness of a particular culture or time framework. Merely allow a relaxation and allow the attention to drift, and the individual themselves shall direct their attention to a focus that is of similar tone automatically, so to speak.
Now; this may be accomplished also in visualizations, in meditations. You may incorporate this action in waking state quite easily also in incorporating an exercise with other individuals, in combining your energies and allowing a relaxation. You may incorporate this action in viewing another individual physically in front of you, so to speak, allowing the attention to drift, and you shall view the other individual changing. The features shall change; the appearance shall change.
Now; in this, if the attention is being directed to be viewing your own individual focuses, you shall project your focuses or the appearance of them onto the physical manifestation of the other individual. You may also accomplish this type of action in allowing yourselves to relax and incorporate a mirror. In relaxing your visual and your energy, you blur the lines of separation and you may actually physically view other physical manifestations of yourself in the mirror.
Once allowing yourself to view a physical appearance, you allow yourselves much more of an ease in connecting, so to speak, with other focuses, for you have allowed yourselves to view a manifestation. In association with your beliefs, you thusly recognize what you are looking for, in a manner of speaking, which generates much more of an ease in allowing yourselves to move your attention to that focus. It matters not that you do not yet incorporate the information of time and location; you recognize a form and this facilitates your allowance of yourselves to move your attention to that focus. Therefore, you shall allow yourselves to investigate what the other focus is experiencing, and this shall offer you the information concerning time framework, location, interactions, relationships and so on.
WENDY: Oh great! If she were to practice something known as tratak meditation - I mean, mirror gazing is a mediation similar to tratak - then she can do this.
ELIAS: Yes.
WENDY: Ricanna wants to know about focuses that she has shared with members of our Dreamteam. She has the feeling that she has shared a focus with Lyryn, and she would like your confirmation of that.
ELIAS: Yes. In actuality you all share several focuses together, and this is the reason that you have drawn yourselves together in this focus.
WENDY: That answers Miranda's unspoken question, because she wanted confirmation. I think she is feeling pretty strongly that we have shared several focuses together. Elias, is our little family complete or are there others?
ELIAS: There are other individuals that may draw themselves to your group interaction.
WENDY: Others who we have shared focuses with also and whose intent it is to share in the inspiration and support?
ELIAS: Yes.
WENDY: So it will just happen in its own time?
ELIAS: Yes, for this is dependant upon the readiness and the openness of each individual.
WENDY: Aha. (Laughing) Yes, I recognize what you are saying. Sometimes we feel more open than others.
ELIAS: Correct.
WENDY: Lately we have been feeling like just taking a rest and solidifying what we have, but if we wait too long it gets more difficult, in a way.
ELIAS: I am understanding.
WENDY: Lyryn has a couple of questions. He would like to know the essence names and family of two people. One is Gisa W. She is at the University of Frankfurt in Germany. (Pause)
ELIAS: Essence name, Ophien, O-P-H-I-E-N (OH fee in). Essence family, Sumafi; alignment, Ilda; orientation, common.
WENDY: The name of the second one is Denise D, and she is from Volta Redonda in Brazil. (18-second pause, during which a cat yowls continually in the background)
ELIAS: Essence name, Adyell, A-D-Y-E-L-L (ay dee AL). Essence family, Tumold; alignment, Zuli; orientation, common.
WENDY: Great, thank you.
ELIAS: You are quite welcome.
WENDY: Lyryn has a dream also. I guess we are a Dreamteam and we like to know about our dreams.
ELIAS: Very well!
WENDY: (The cat continuous to meow) Here is the dream. He is in an airport, and he's walking around because he has time. All of a sudden the environment seems to change and he cannot find the gate anymore. This is a dream that he has had over and over, and it has variations. In his dream it has happened that he could not find the ticket or that he ended up being in a different environment. This is the only repeating dream that he has had, and because it is repeating he wants to know if there is something to realize with this dream and what is trying to speak to him in this dream.
ELIAS: This is dream imagery that is offering to him in association with unfamiliarity and the potential of fear that is generated in movement into unfamiliar expressions. This is directly associated with his movement in relation to this shift in consciousness - altering his reality, redefining terms and reality, shifting perception, and generating unfamiliar movements and expressions and manifestations in creating a new reality, and allowing himself to generate that but also recognizing that at times this may be generating apprehension and some anxiety and some expression of fear, for it is unfamiliar.
WENDY: I am sure he will appreciate that a lot. I wonder, do you have any suggestions for Lyryn, how he can creatively use this dream?
ELIAS: Merely to be recognizing that the incorporation of this dream imagery, in your terms, is useful, for at times individuals manipulate energy to generate dream imagery that you may, in a manner of speaking, play out certain expressions within the dream state and therefore allow yourselves to NOT incorporate that expression within waking state. Remember, the objective and the subjective awarenesses move in harmony continuously. Therefore, what is expressed is a continuous communication between these two awarenesses in balance with each other.
At times you allow yourselves to generate certain imagery within dream state, which is a subjective activity, and in recall of that dream activity you generate imagery. This is the objective expression of dream activity, the translation into objective imagery. Therefore, you are allowing yourself to experience certain actions within the dream state in which the objective awareness participates, and therefore it is unnecessary to generate those actions or expressions or manifestations within waking state. This at times generates an efficient movement to be avoiding, in a manner of speaking, an expression of fear in waking state.
WENDY: As you talk, I realize that you are talking directly to Lyryn, and I'm sitting here laughing because I can virtually feel it. It's like okay, Lyryn, here is your answer. Are you listening, Lyryn?
ELIAS: Correct! (Laughs)
WENDY: It is so funny. I feel so honored for the others to agree to have chosen me to represent them, because it is a rare experience. (Cat meows in the background)
ELIAS: And shall you allow me to deviate momentarily, and shall you express my greetings to your creature?
WENDY: To my creature?
ELIAS: Yes, for it has been expressing its greetings to myself. (Wendy laughs) And therefore without interruption of you, I wish to be reciprocating.
WENDY: Oh! Meow! (Elias laughs) That really tickles me. That's really fun.
Ahmed contributed to the session but he did not contribute with a question. However, his energy is here as his contribution, and I am having the feeling that maybe you'd like to say something to him.
ELIAS: I shall express greetings and encouragement to continue in your wondrous expression of playfulness, for there has been a tremendous allowance of yourself to be expressing this playfulness, and in appreciation of that expression I am acknowledging of this and am recognizing of the energy which is expressed. Accept from myself my encouragement to be continuing and my offering of supportiveness in your allowance.
WENDY: I'm glad that I followed that impulse to ask. That's like a big hug for Ahmed. (Elias laughs)
I have a couple of other questions. We don't have much time, so I think first I would just like to ask if when you think of Callicoe or Roiann or Lyryn or Miranda or Ahmed or myself, is there something you would like to say to one of us? Any one of us or to all of us?
ELIAS: I may express to you all, collectively, a tremendous encouragement of your movement together, and in that encouragement I shall say to you, do not discount your expressions of yourselves or of each other, but allow yourselves the genuine recognition than every expression that you offer to each other is real and is valid, and this is significant. Do not constrain yourselves in concern of how another individual may perhaps perceive your expression, for you all incorporate a tremendous openness with each other and you express an acceptance of each other. Therefore, my suggestion is that you notice that expression of openness and acceptance of each other and turn that also to yourselves. For at times you withhold some of that openness and vulnerability, for you do not extend the acceptance to self as freely as you do to each other.
WENDY: Yes, I recognize that in myself, and I believe I can see all of us in that. We have the opportunity to offer to each other a really beautiful gift.
ELIAS: Yes, you do, and yourselves also. You already offer each other tremendous supportiveness and an acceptance of each other's expressions. Now allow yourselves the expression of that same freedom.
WENDY: For ourselves.
ELIAS: Yes.
WENDY: Beautiful, beautiful.
ELIAS: Which shall generate even more freedom in association with each other.
WENDY: Aha - I gotcha! (Elias laughs) Thank you so much.
ELIAS: You are quite welcome.
WENDY: I say good-bye now.
ELIAS: Very well, my friend. I express to you all my tremendous encouragement and my genuine expression of affection to you each. And I shall also extend my offering of energy to each of you and to you collectively in my expression of playfulness. Therefore, you may watch for me, for I shall be interactive with you all.
WENDY: Oh, that's great. Thank you.
ELIAS: You are quite welcome. Acknowledge yourselves and be greatly encouraged. Your movement is worthy of your validation. To you in tremendous lovingness, my friends, au revoir.
Elias departs at 10:36 AM.
