Sunday, January 8, 2006 (Private/Phone)

Participants: Mary (Michael) and Yinka (Adrianna)

(Elias’ arrival time is seven seconds.)

ELIAS: Good afternoon.

YINKA: Hello, Elias.

ELIAS: And what shall we discuss?

YINKA: Oh, how are you?

ELIAS: As always. And yourself?

YINKA: I’m fine, thank you. (Elias laughs.) I made a point to tell my son I wanted say hello to you (Elias laughs.), because the last time I spoke to you, and you just popped in (Inaudible) to be taken aback. (Both laugh.)

Anyway, I want to start with some questions I’ve written down, right?

ELIAS: Very well.

YINKA: The first question I want to ask is about understanding myself more—what I do, you know? So I’ll just give you some examples of some of the things I have encountered in my life, and also understand...what I want to understand is how I camouflage my own power or what I could do to myself.

I think when I was about nine or eight years old in school, one day I was very hungry and cross because my mom wouldn’t give me money to go to school. And so one day, I was so hungry I told myself that I would like to have some food (Inaudible) at lunch, at break. And you know, the next thing, I saw some food—hot food—right in front of me. I think this happened twice.

Now; I look back on it; I am thinking, did I make that up? But I know that it really happened, and I just wonder, how did I do this or what happened? Where did the food come from? (Elias chuckles.) Okay, what I thought was that somebody bought it and left it there, but it was still very hot. So how did I do that? (Elias chuckles.)

Well, that’s one. Another thing was, I think when I was about 14 or 15, I was very ill one day and had to (Inaudible). And I told myself because I had my (Inaudible) I was very ill; I told myself if I could see a snake or a scorpion bites me, that I wouldn’t even mind. And when I go home, I was bitten by a scorpion.

And another one is a dream I had recently, not too long ago, in which I was shocked that my sister was very tall, and she was always giving me some problem when I was sitting down; I always (Inaudible). I don’t mind that. And then one day, she was giving me so much problem, I just got up and faced her, and then I became very tall, and she became very small. And it made me realize that maybe I’m trying to pretend I’m something that I’m not. Well, that’s the example—(Inaudible) an example of me just watching me.

Another one was, you know, sometimes I have asthma. And from some older habits, I put my inhaler beside my bed. So, on this hot summer night, I thought I had my inhaler beside me. So, I thought, I’m going to go to sleep; I said, let me take my inhaler. So, I turned my head around, and I opened my mouth to the inhaler and went to sleep. And as I’m going to sleep, I realized that actually I had not touched the inhaler at all, but I have taken something, and I was all right.

Now; what I’m trying to say is with all this is there’s something about me that I can do. So, I just talk about (Inaudible) experiences with me, please.

ELIAS: Very well. There are commonalities—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —in these experiences.

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: One of the commonalities is that, in each experience—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —you generate a strength in a focused direction, and in that—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —you do not incorporate any doubt. And in not incorporating any doubt, you are not analyzing, you are not attempting to evaluate or process how to accomplish, you are merely generating a very strong, focused determination and desire, and in that, as that becomes clearly focused and trusted—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —there is no doubt and that allows you to actually materialize or manifest certain outcomes.

Now; in the first scenario—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —with the food, it matters not how the food appeared.

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: For it may have appeared merely through your manifestation of it, or it may have appeared in association with another individual—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —placing it there, but it matters not, for you created the scenario, therefore, you created the other individual placing the food in that area. Therefore, whatever method was incorporated for producing a particular manifestation matters not, for the manifestation was produced, which is the creation of what you wanted, and the factors involved were the desire, the focus—the focus of intention.

You recognized clearly what you want; you focused yourself, not generating a concentration of attention in thought or in analyzation of a particular method to accomplish, but merely focused yourself in clarity in relation to what you wanted in that moment, incorporated no doubt or questioning of yourself—you were not questioning of yourself, “How shall I accomplish this?” You merely identified clearly a want.

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: You identified a physical communication, “I am hungry. I want to have food.” No other factor was involved; therefore, you were clearly focused.

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: You clearly identified the want. You clearly identified what was the outcome of the want. You did not question how to produce that.

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: You did not analyze or evaluate, you merely continued being focused and thusly entrusting yourself by not doubting; you materialized, which is quite the same as with the breathing.

YINKA: Oh, with the breathing, that’s what I was going to ask you.

ELIAS: It is not a matter of the medication or the implementation of the medication, but that you, once again, generated a clear awareness of what you want, and in that, did not doubt that you would accomplish and manifest what you want, even if the trust is that you incorporate this medication that is close at hand. But the trust of yourself to generate what you want was strong enough and was not doubted to the point in which incorporating the medication was not even necessary.

YINKA: You know, in the one way I became tall, it dawned on me that actually I made a choice to be...to look the way I looked, which is short. It doesn’t mean I couldn’t do anything I wanted. I couldn’t be tall if I wanted to be. That’s what I felt (Inaudible).

ELIAS: It is not quite that black and white. This imagery is significant, for it is symbolic of your power and how you view yourself, and whether you are expressing your own trust and confidence of yourself, which also is the same element as the other scenarios, for in this—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —you are not doubting yourself, once again. You allow yourself to become tall as an expression of your own power and how you are not doubting yourself, and you are not diminishing yourself in comparison to another individual.

YINKA: Yes, yes, okay. Should I ask you another question now, then?

ELIAS: Very well.

YINKA: Okay, I was going to ask you now about a dream I had some days ago.

Now; in this dream, there was a bird, a black bird that lives on top of my house, and this bird will come down and eat. Well, (Inaudible) I was with my brother; I was sitting on the floor, and my brother was standing in front of me. This bird came down and ate, and so, suddenly, I had a picture frame of this: my solarium. And then the next picture frame, this bird came down and was ill, and I was carrying this bird, and I told myself, “Oh, I must give this bird some water and food.” So I think I did. That became the second picture frame, you know. And in the third picture frame, this bird was flying with energy, and I don’t know what (Inaudible) a photograph of this episode taken with me caring for this bird.

ELIAS: And in this, do you incorporate an impression?

YINKA: Yes. To be honest, you know, I couldn’t give an impression other than there was a (Inaudible) kind of bird, and the bird was smelly, but I knew I was going to give it some water and take care of it. And I was just thinking to myself that, “Oh, I better make sure that I don’t catch any disease,” so I (Inaudible) in that. Other than that, I don’t know what other impression I could make of that.

ELIAS: Partially. You are allowing yourself imagery to illustrate some of your hesitations and your automatic responses, but also presenting imagery to yourself of allowing yourself to act in association with your impulses and your intuition and impressions, for the presentment of the bird initially—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —is that it is generating its natural actions, and you are merely observing.

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: But subsequently, it appears to you to be ill, and your initial response is the automatic response of hesitation, but you allowed yourself to move beyond the hesitation, and you allowed yourself to express yourself in association with your intuition. And in that, you also validate yourself in the third frame, that in moving beyond your hesitation and allowing yourself to follow your intuition and express yourself, you generate the validation of a favorable outcome.

YINKA: Ah, okay.

Now; you know, in another dream on the same day...this wasn’t a dream...in fact another dream actually. There were some stones that (Inaudible) like (Inaudible) stones for generations and generations of years.

Now; in my dream I have walked out into a clearing. I saw all the stones. One stone started moving. And walking (Inaudible) it hasn’t moved. And then the next minute, all the stones around started moving as well, and (Inaudible) I started walking away. In fact, some people tried to stop the stones moving, and I told (Inaudible) to leave the stones alone. I thought somebody was leading the stones away; I (Inaudible) the stones mean?

ELIAS: And your impression?

YINKA: I think that my impression is that it seems like some things are generated into absolutes. Actually, the (Inaudible). I don’t know. That’s what I think, though.

ELIAS: Partially, yes, you are correct. It is associated with absolutes, and it is also associated with change and strength. The stones themselves represent strength. The movement of them represents the element of no absolutes and that what may appear to you in one moment to be impossible, in actuality, may not necessarily be impossible. The response of the other individuals represents the reaction to change and unfamiliarity.

YINKA: Yes, okay. Thank you very much, Elias.

ELIAS: You are welcome.

YINKA: I want to ask, you know when we talked the last time, I realized that it was very hard for me to receive, especially (Inaudible) all of my life. And I was just wondering: I would like to receive. How do I, you know, open up to receive, you know, especially with examples? I have relationships with people. And when I’m in intimate relationships, I always have a problem about this receiving. How do I do it?

ELIAS: What do you fear in receiving, and what association do you generate in relation to receiving?

YINKA: Sorry, I can’t hear you. I don’t know (Inaudible). Can you repeat what you said just now, please?

ELIAS: What do you fear in association with receiving, and what associations do you generate in relation to that action?

YINKA: What do I fear? I think I fear being helped. Or a fear of being judged. That’s what I think.

ELIAS: And also perhaps that you may judge yourself—

YINKA: Yes. (Inaudible)

ELIAS: —for receiving generates a vulnerability, which is perceived as weakness.

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: Or less honorable, for there are strong associations with giving, and that that is more honorable. But receiving is a very important action, for in not allowing yourself to receive, you deny yourself, and you discount others. You generate an expression of energy which communicates to the other individual that what they are expressing is unimportant, for it is not accepted by you.

Now; let me express to you—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —this is not to be confused with acceptance, but it is to be understood that in relation to interacting with another individual—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —if they generate an expression, and you cannot receive—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —you are denying yourself. You are generating a judgment that your direction is more valid or better than the other individual’s direction—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —which is also another form of discounting yourself, and in this, you are projecting an energy to the other individual that their expression is invalid and unimportant.

YINKA: Wow.

ELIAS: As an example—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —let us say, in a hypothetical example—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —that you are interacting with another individual in quite an amiable manner—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —and in your interaction with the other individual, perhaps the other individual requests a favor from you—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —and you quite willingly give that.

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: Subsequently, in another time framework, the same individual approaches you again—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —and in gratefulness for your offering previously—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —wishes to extend some expression of reciprocation, and you, in an amiable manner, which is a camouflage, express to the individual, “Oh, no, this is entirely unnecessary—”

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —and you do not accept their offering. That is a blocking of receiving. It is a denial of yourself. It is an invalidation of the other individual, and what you are expressing to the other individual in your energy is that their expression and their offering is unimportant.

YINKA: All right.

ELIAS: Therefore, you discount the other individual, and the other individual—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —may respond in a manner of distress or frustration or any number of expressions that present an opposing energy to you.

YINKA: I understand that very well. Thank you, Elias.

ELIAS: You are welcome.

YINKA: Well, I think I want to ask you another question now about relationships. I would like to (Inaudible) in an intimate relationship in fun, companionship, intimacy and all of that. And I just discovered that everything works in reverse. So, if I’m saying, for example, I want to go out with somebody who is fun, is it me who has to be fun, or how does this work?

ELIAS: Yes.

YINKA: Oh, God. If I say, I want somebody...oh, God...how do I say it? I want somebody...how do you explain? This is confusing for me, you know. Oh, no, I don’t know what (Inaudible), Elias. Can you help me? I’m trying to see what I can...for example, I’m not in a relationship with anybody now. I want a relationship with somebody, and I know what I want from the person. What do I want? Somebody who...who would be committed to me. Is it me, (Inaudible), I want from the other person?

ELIAS: This is your snare, for you are projecting your attention outside of yourself—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —generating a criteria of what you want from the other individual—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —and this is the reverse of what actually occurs.

YINKA: That’s what I’m saying. I think that (Inaudible)—

ELIAS: It is not a matter of concerning yourself with what you want from another individual. It is a matter of allowing yourself to appreciate and express those qualities within yourself, and therefore, generating a comfortableness with yourself, which shall allow you to draw another individual to you that shall reflect that—

YINKA: Oh, right.

ELIAS: —that shall reflect those similar qualities that you express yourself.

This is the difficulty with many, many, many individuals in relation to relationships, for generally speaking, this is the manner in which individuals approach the subject of relationships. They project their attention in relation to the other individual and what they want from the other individual, which that generates the association of co-creating, and it also denies you, for you no longer are steering your ship. You are holding and waiting for another individual to initiate—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —and subsequently you shall respond. Therefore, you are not directing, and in this, you move into the role of victim quite easily, for you generate the association of co-creating, that you are merely creating some of your reality, but that some of your reality is dependent upon the choices of other individuals, and that you must wait for their choices—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —before you can implement your choices. No, this is entirely incorrect. It is a matter of allowing yourself the comfort of your own freedom—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —and the appreciation of how you want to express yourself—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —in your own confidence of yourself, your own appreciation of your own projection of yourself, which automatically generates in energy a type of beacon that draws other individuals to you, for other individuals respond to individuals that express strength and confidence and the freedom to allow themselves to express themselves. That becomes very attractive—

YINKA: Wow.

ELIAS: —to other individuals. And therefore, they are quite drawn to that, for they also wish to express in like manner. Therefore, in drawing themselves to an individual that IS expressing in that manner, it reinforces them in recognizing that they also have this ability.

Also, as I have expressed many times, you draw to yourself in every situation and encounter what you are projecting in energy. Therefore, if you are projecting in energy being a victim, you shall reflect that in scenarios in which other individuals are opposing.

YINKA: All right.

ELIAS: If you are projecting an energy of fear or of shielding and protecting, you shall draw other individuals that shall be opposing—

YINKA: All right.

ELIAS: —and offensive. If you are projecting an energy of appreciation of yourself, and you are projecting an energy of confidence and trust—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —you shall draw to yourself appreciation and acknowledgment.

YINKA: Yes. Elias, (Inaudible) relationships right now (Inaudible) relationship with my former boyfriend and my energy. Can you see that?

ELIAS: Yes, you are generating a type of relationship with this individual. And what would your assessment be of what type of relationship you are engaging?

YINKA: Oh, God. I think...oh, Elias, this is a funny one, because (Inaudible). It seems like right now, I’m generating (Inaudible).

ELIAS: Correct. You are generating a relationship of opposition.

YINKA: Yeah. And that’s what I don’t want because I’ve been there already. Oh! What do I need to do? (Inaudible)

ELIAS: To recognize what you are opposing within you.

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: There are many, many, many expressions of opposition. I shall express to you several that you engage. Expectation is opposing. Denying yourself is opposing. Comparing is opposing. Complying is opposing.

YINKA: All right.

ELIAS: Acquiescing is opposing. Incorporating personal responsibility is opposing.

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: Doubting is opposing.

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: There are many, many, many different forms of opposition, and you can be expressing many of them—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —simultaneously.

YINKA: If I don’t want to oppose anymore, right now, because I don’t want to oppose anymore—I’m tired of fighting—how should I have to go about things?

ELIAS: Pay attention to what you are doing.

YINKA: All right.

ELIAS: In this moment, what are you doing?

YINKA: At this moment, I’m listening to you—

ELIAS: And what else?

YINKA: (Inaudible)

ELIAS: And?

YINKA: And sitting down.

ELIAS: And how are you sitting?

YINKA: Oh, gosh, how am I sitting? I think I’m a bit relaxed and a bit agitated and wanting this (Inaudible) to go away. That’s it.

ELIAS: Therefore, within you, in this moment—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —evaluate: what energy are you expressing?

YINKA: I think it’s friendliness actually.

ELIAS: No, what energy are you expressing?

YINKA: Can you repeat yourself, please?

ELIAS: What energy are you expressing? What are your signals?

YINKA: My signals? God!

ELIAS: In this moment.

YINKA: At this moment, what’s my signal? I think my signal this moment is...oh, God, I don’t know what it is, Elias, because I’m feeling slightly hot in my body.

ELIAS: Yes, and your signal is frustration and anxiety, which is creating tension.

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: It is creating tension within your physical body. It is affecting of your actual breathing, which is more shallow.

YINKA: Who would know?

ELIAS: It is—

YINKA: I wouldn’t have known all this.

ELIAS: I am aware that you are not noticing. But this is the point. You asked myself the question: “How do you stop opposing?—”

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —and I am expressing to you, you can begin in this moment—

YINKA: All right. Gosh!

ELIAS: —by noticing what you are actually doing. The point is that, for the most part, most individuals are not noticing and aware of what they are doing in the moment, and there are many things that you are doing in each moment—

YINKA: Yes. Yes. Yes.

ELIAS: —simultaneously. In this, if you are genuinely noticing your posture—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —and your physical body and your physical muscles and your breathing—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —you begin to notice that your perception WAS that you were actually relaxed, but in actuality, you are not as relaxed as you perceived yourself to be.

YINKA: No, I have to say really I’m not.

ELIAS: And in this, you are generating somewhat of a frustration and an anxiety in creating an interference in energy, which is creating an interference in the equipment that we are engaging to engage this conversation.

YINKA: Oh, really? (Inaudible)

ELIAS: And the more that you generate that, the more it frustrates you.

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: And the more that it frustrates you, the more you build tension—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —within your body. This is an example of paying attention—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —to what you are actually doing, and therefore, incorporating the ability to recognize what type of energy you are projecting. And it also affords you the opportunity and the ability to actually alter some—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —expression in the moment, which reinforces your confidence of yourself that you do incorporate the ability to affect your reality.

Many times, my friend, let me express to you—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —an individual, such as yourself—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —may feel overwhelmed, for you are viewing a large picture—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —a large scenario with many different pieces—a large puzzle, so to speak—that incorporates many, many different pieces. But they are all interconnected with each other. And in viewing this large picture, it becomes overwhelming, for you attempt to evaluate, “How can I alter this picture? I am not pleased with the picture that I have created. I wish to alter this picture—”

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: “—but I am not sure how to begin.” For in viewing the entirety of the picture, you create this frustration and tension and anxiety—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —and that blocks your imagination and creativity. Therefore, you do not allow yourself an openness to inspire yourself. Therefore, what occurs is you become defeated, and you immobilize yourself, viewing the picture as uncorrectable—

YINKA: (Inaudible) I had the stone dream.

ELIAS: —for you cannot view your choices in how to alter the picture. But if you begin with paying attention to yourself—

YINKA: All right. Okay.

ELIAS: —in the moment and allow yourself to be aware in the moment of all that you are doing—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —and you allow yourself to actually incorporate actions to alter your energy by altering what you are doing, as with this example, recognizing, questioning yourself, “What am I doing in this moment?”

YINKA: (Laughs) Yes.

ELIAS: “I am speaking with Elias.”

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: “I am listening to Elias. I am sitting within a chair. I am listening to interference upon the equipment. I am feeling frustrated. I am noticing my solar plexus are not as relaxed as I thought. (Yinka laughs.) I am noticing that I am becoming somewhat anxious and am slightly scattered. I am noticing elements within my room. How am I responding—”

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: “—to the elements within my room?”

In this, each action that you notice, it in actuality incorporates more time for myself to identify and explain to you what you are noticing and what you are doing than for you to notice and alter it.

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: For you can notice what you are doing without even incorporating thought—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —and alter it immediately—

YINKA: Okay.

ELIAS: —for you actually do know how. For if you are noticing that your solar plexus are slightly tight, you automatically know that if you draw in a deep breath that shall relax it.

YINKA: Thank you very much.

ELIAS: I may also express to you an encouragement in this, for in actuality, my friend—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —if you genuinely are paying attention—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —to what you are doing and to your energy—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —in every moment within your day—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —you may begin to view within very few days—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —many expressions in your reality shall begin to alter in dramatic manners.

YINKA: All right.

ELIAS: For you are allowing yourself to manipulate each situation, rather than waiting for another individual to generate your permission to create.

YINKA: Yes. Sure. Elias, can you tell me, is there some things that I’m doing well now? (Inaudible) myself with on this accepting...no, you know, trusting and...or just accepting beliefs alone. I just don’t think I’m doing it, you know, or that I’ve been doing that (Inaudible) now.

ELIAS: Yes, you are widening your awareness, and you are offering yourself more and more information, and in that, you are paying attention to you much more fully. I may express to you that, at times, you confuse yourself, for in paying attention to yourself, you are not always quite sure how to proceed with that.

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: But paying attention to yourself is the beginning step—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —for you offer yourself information, and you become more familiar with noticing. And you have been noticing more of your automatic responses. And that is significant, which I would encourage you to continue in that direction—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —for noticing automatic responses can be quite valuable, for this opens a door to a tremendous expression of your freedom. Automatic responses are not always hindering. Some automatic responses may be associated with your preferences—

YINKA: Oh, yes!

ELIAS: —but even in those, it is significant to notice, for that is helpful to you in becoming clearer in identifying what your preferences are.

YINKA: Yes. (Elias chuckles.) All right! (Inaudible) seconds, (Inaudible) I think. It’s with my eyes. I noticed one day, I was going to sleep; I was a bit relaxed, and the next moment, I closed my eyes (Inaudible). And then another time, I was seeing my eyes opening inward as well again. What am I going into? I’m just wondering, what am I trying to opening my eyes now?

ELIAS: It is not necessarily that type of presentment to yourself. It is more associated with allowing yourself to relax and generating an openness to the possibilities of what you can move into if you are allowing yourself to relax, that you can accomplish in many different directions if you are generating a balanced and relaxed energy.

I may express to you, it may be beneficial for you to be incorporating a time framework in each day in which you allow yourself a visualization. But in that visualization—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —generate an allowance in which you are not necessarily directing it.

YINKA: All right.

ELIAS: Allow it to form and appear in its own manner to you.

YINKA: All right. Thank you.

ELIAS: This shall allow you a practicing of trusting and relaxing, and also it shall allow you a practice of receiving.

YINKA: All right. Oh! All right. Thank you.

ELIAS: You are welcome.

YINKA: I was wondering, what kind of (Inaudible)? I notice that, I think I was born on the fourth of October at twelve minutes past four. (Inaudible), when I do something big in my life, am I choosing four, like when I moved to this country, I moved on the fourth. Why do I generate some of these things with number four?

ELIAS: For that is your symbolism of empowerment.

YINKA: A what?

ELIAS: It is your symbolism of empowerment.

YINKA: Oh! All right. Okay.

ELIAS: Therefore, if you incorporate that number—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —it becomes a type of focal point—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —which allows you to empower yourself.

YINKA: All right. Okay. All right. Thank you.

Now; I just like to ask you something briefly about jobs. Like for example, right now, I’m not seeing the (Inaudible) my jobs options. For example, I would like to do a children’s cartoon series for TV.

Now; what is the feasibility of this happening, knowing that I don’t know anyone in this area (Inaudible)? How do I go about things like this?

ELIAS: It is not a matter of whether you objectively know some individual in that area. It is a matter of allowing yourself to engage action that you shall move yourself into that direction. It is a matter of trusting yourself and listening to your creativity—

YINKA: Yeah.

ELIAS: —and incorporating your communication of imagination—

YINKA: Yeah.

ELIAS: —which you do, in actuality, quite well.

YINKA: (Laughs) I know. I know.

ELIAS: In this, allowing yourself to couple your listening and your implementing imagination with action of presentment of yourself—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —in cooperation and sharing with other individuals—

YINKA: Yeah.

ELIAS: —allowing yourself to generate that presentment in the same manner as which we began this discussion—

YINKA: All right.

ELIAS: —without doubt, with a clear awareness of what you want—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —and with the determination and confidence—not incorporating any doubt—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —that you can, but not merely can, WILL accomplish.

YINKA: Yes. (Inaudible) to ask you just before we...I think we just have about 10 minutes left...I was going to ask you, you know, I have some dreams in which I see masked people.

Now; (Inaudible) when I say masked people (Inaudible). I don’t know, but I’ve had (Inaudible) of dreams with people walking around (Inaudible) in my dreams.

ELIAS: They are representative of several elements.

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: One is difference and how you respond to difference.

YINKA: All right.

ELIAS: One is absolutes and how you generate absolute associations with certain behaviors. And one is associated with shifting, and in this, that what societies perceive—or have perceived previously—as unusual or not normal—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —in shifting—

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: —is becoming more of the norm, for you are thinning many of the veils of separation.

YINKA: All right.

ELIAS: Therefore, you also open windows to other areas of consciousness that may not necessarily be visually seen—

YINKA: Sure. Sure. Sure.

ELIAS: —but they are no less real.

YINKA: All right! All right! All right! Okay, Elias, I was just going to talk about you and myself now. I’m wondering, you know, I feel there is some fear sometimes, and I just want to say I like your energy, you know, but the whole thing (Inaudible).

ELIAS: Yes.

YINKA: Right?

ELIAS: And you do to an extent. Not entirely—

YINKA: Yes, no, I know.

ELIAS: —but you do, to an extent. And I shall continue to be offering it to you, if you are so choosing to receive it, which perhaps may also be another practice in your exercise of receiving.

YINKA: Yes. (Both laugh.) Good. Oh, good. All right then. Oh, thank you so much, Elias. It’s been wonderful talking to you.

ELIAS: (Laughs) And you also, my friend. (Yinka laughs.) I express tremendous appreciation for you—

YINKA: Thank you.

ELIAS: —and I offer to you great encouragement, for whatever you may perceive as being immense obstacles that you are presenting to yourself, in actuality, they are not as immense as you think.

YINKA: I’ll remember that.

ELIAS: (Both laugh.) Remember also to be playful.

YINKA: Oh, yes.

ELIAS: (Laughs) And I shall be anticipating of our next meeting.

YINKA: I shall as well.

ELIAS: To you, in tremendous friendship and great lovingness.

YINKA: Yes.

ELIAS: Au revoir.

YINKA: Au revoir.

(Elias departs after 58 minutes, 2 seconds.)
