(Elias’ arrival time is not available.)
ELIAS: Good evening!
ALEX: Hi Elias. How are you?
ELIAS: (Laughs) As always. And yourself?
ALEX: As always. I thought so! Well, it’s been really several interesting months for me here. And I would like to ask you a few questions, if I may.
ELIAS: Very well.
ALEX: First of all, I would like to know my orientation, please.
ELIAS: And your impression?
ALEX: Well, it’s kind of difficult. I mean, I’ve checked all of the orientations and it seems like there are components of each that seem to fit me, so I don’t really know what exactly is mine.
ELIAS: (Chuckles) Intermediate.
ALEX: Intermediate. Oh, that’s not really a surprise. Okay.
ELIAS: (Laughs)
ALEX: And now, how about the orientation of my girlfriend, Riya?
ELIAS: And your impression?
ALEX: I think she is probably soft.
ELIAS: Correct.
ALEX: Correct. All right. Thank you for that. And is she a last focus or not? Or a continuing focus?
ELIAS: Continuing.
ALEX: Continuing. Okay. And just, I’m writing it down, so it may take a little time. Okay. And my next question being…you know, sometimes I feel like I am not entitled to participate in this reality. I do feel like I participate but not as fully as other people do, and I was wondering if you could explain to me the reason for that.
ELIAS: Offer an example.
ALEX: Offer an example. Well, sometimes I feel like I don’t have to abide by the same laws that everyone else abides by. You understand? Like, for example I can not take actions and I can get away with it. You know, I just…sometimes I feel that I am not bound by the same rules that most of the other people are bound by and this is my example.
ELIAS: Very well. I am understanding. Let me express to you, individuals incorporate different expressed beliefs. As I have stated previously, you ALL incorporate ALL beliefs, but you express certain beliefs and in that, some individuals incorporate certain associations with authorities and with rules, and…
ALEX: So I just don’t incorporate these beliefs? At least not all of them?
ELIAS: It is not that you do not incorporate the beliefs, but that you generate different associations with them. And in that, you do not express the strength of that alignment with authority or rules, and in not aligning with the concept of rules or authority, you do not bind yourself to them.
ALEX: Yes, thanks. And my next question will be am I currently in transition?
ELIAS: Yes.
ALEX: Yes. So what basically does it mean? I mean, how does it affect me?
ELIAS: Generating transition within physical focus allows you, dependent upon your personality and your expressed beliefs, to shift in a manner in which the transition somewhat facilitates that. For it is not the same expression as transition once you have disengaged, but it is helpful in allowing you to shift and to understand a wider perception of yourself.
ALEX: Yes.
ELIAS: For it allows you to easily access other aspects of yourself and allows you to move into an understanding of what you are doing and how you are manipulating energy. It allows you to genuinely generate a sense of the other yous of you…
ALEX: Yes, I know that.
ELIAS: …and can also facilitate your own movement in connecting with other facets of yourself as essence.
ALEX: So how many years have I been in transition, approximately?
ELIAS: Approximately five.
ALEX: Five. And is that part of the reason that I am recently experiencing extra activity in dreams?
ELIAS: It can influence that, yes.
ALEX: Okay. My next question would be…well…oh, it’s about my stuttering problem that I have. I believe that the main reason that I stutter is that I do not allow people to perceive myself as I actually am. Like when I can, when I speak to people, I try to squeeze myself into something they will find acceptable, and it is like I do not allow myself to express myself in full because maybe I’m afraid of what people will think if they saw me as I really am, and it’s like I feel that if I express myself freely, people are going to think, “Oh, you know, who is he trying to impress? He thinks he’s so special.” Or something like that. So on one hand I want to express myself, and on the other hand, I think that expressing myself would be wrong somehow.
ELIAS: I am understanding.
ALEX: I am wondering if that is a correct impression…
ELIAS: Yes.
ALEX: …about myself?
ELIAS: Yes, it is correct, and I am understanding. But let me also express to you, my friend, that if you allow yourself to genuinely be accepting and appreciating of yourself, you can express yourself in the manner that you want and other individuals shall not perceive you as arrogant. Rather, they shall perceive you as expressing an attractive energy, for individuals are automatically drawn to other individuals that express themselves in a free and confident and empowered manner. Other individuals recognize the energy of acceptance and appreciation and view that to be an attractive energy and expression. But to accomplish that, it is necessary that you yourself allow yourself to be accepting and appreciating of you and of your expressions and your choices and your direction.
In acknowledgement of yourself, you project a different type of energy in which you do not concern yourself any longer with how other individuals shall perceive you, for you are expressing a confidence in how you are projecting. In that, you are not questioning yourself, and therefore you stop generating the fear in relation to how other individuals shall perceive you.
ALEX: I understand that. So can you give me some specific pointers? What exactly should I do?
ELIAS: First of all, notice in the moments that you hesitate. That is the beginning point. In noticing when you hesitate, allow yourself to pause and in that pause, allow yourself to readjust or refocus yourself. In refocusing yourself, move your attention to what YOU want to express and acknowledge yourself. This is important, for in the acknowledgement of yourself, what you do is you interrupt and prevent that automatic movement into doubt. You replace the doubt with the acknowledgement.
Once you have acknowledged yourself in what or how you want to express yourself, you also are interrupting that hesitation. And that may allow you to express more freely. Understand that you shall incorporate generating practice, for initially it may be somewhat challenging, but as you continue to practice it shall become an action that is expressed more and more easily.
ALEX: Okay, thank you for that. And I have a little bit of a related question. Why sometimes is it easier for me to speak when I imagine my voice to be like a snake, slithering into the minds of the people? Why is it so?
ELIAS: For that provides you with another sense of shielding, by camouflaging.
ALEX: Oh. I understand. Thank you. It’s very interesting. Just a moment, I’m still asking a question.
ELIAS: Very well.
ALEX: Oh. Right now in university, I’m currently majoring in linguistics, and next year I’ve thought about adding another major for my studies. And I was wondering if you could tell me which of these would be like the best, that would offer me the least resistance. The choices I have are: Communication studies, the second is East Asian studies, and the third is Arabic studies.
ELIAS: (Pause) Interesting question, which would allow you the least resistance, rather than inquiring which would be the most beneficial. For they incorporate two different answers.
ALEX: Okay.
ELIAS: Which would offer you the least resistance would be the third choice.
ALEX: Arabic?
ELIAS: Yes. Which would be the most beneficial would be the first choice.
ALEX: So, why would that be least resistance and then the first would be most beneficial?
ELIAS: For the third choice would be accomplished with perhaps more ease and would allow you to focus your attention in that in one direction. The first choice would be a direction that incorporates the potential to present yourself with more expressions of you and allow you an awareness of how you present obstacles to yourself. Therefore, it would offer you more information concerning you individually, and yourself and your own movement, and your own expressions. It would also incorporate the potential to generate more openness in allowing you to express more exposure, which would be another beneficial direction. And in this, it would offer you the potential for more successfulness in more areas.
ALEX: Oh. So what about the second choice? What would that be?
ELIAS: That would be more in the direction of the third choice, but it would incorporate somewhat more of a challenge.
ALEX: Oh. Okay. Now I have a question about my intent. I haven’t been fully able to discover my intent, but I wanted to ask you. Does my intent have something to do with the fact that I like languages?
ELIAS: Partially.
ALEX: Okay.
ELIAS: But it also incorporates an exploration of translating inner expressions into outer expressions.
ALEX: In attention.
ELIAS: Which language is an avenue of that, yes.
ALEX: So my work as a translator, that reflects that?
ELIAS: Yes.
ALEX: It’s so nice. One other question I want to ask you about. A few years ago, scientists detected some sort of a noise somewhere deep in the sea. And scientists believe that that noise was coming from a sea animal that is larger by an order of magnitude than even the whale. So I was wondering if you could tell me what kind of an animal was that noise coming from?
ELIAS: It is not a creature that belongs to your reality.
ALEX: Oh.
ELIAS: Previously, I have expressed that within your physical dimension, there are other occupants, so to speak, that at times you may hear or you may see. It occurs infrequently, but at times they do, in a manner of speaking, bleed through.
ALEX: Okay. I understand.
ELIAS: But they are not actually belonging to your reality.
ALEX: My next question would be…just a moment so I can find it here. (Pause) Seth said something about last focuses often do not have children. Is that really true?
ELIAS: No. Not necessarily.
ALEX: Oh. Okay.
ELIAS: That is a blanket statement and that would not necessarily be accurate.
ALEX: Okay. Now I have a question that I have from my girlfriend. She wanted to ask why is it that when she wakes up in the mornings she feels like her entire world is crumbling down? She feels very depressed in the mornings, and she wanted to know what was the reason for that.
ELIAS: The reason that she expresses this more so within the morning time framework, or more intensely within the morning time framework, is that there is an automatic association as she awakens in recognition of the tremendous expectations that she expresses with herself. Therefore that creates a type of perception of an enormous weight, for it creates a perception that once again she is beginning to engage the day and with that comes an awareness of tremendous expectations of herself in many different directions. In creating these strong expectations of herself, she is generating a strong opposition to herself and creating strong energy of opposition, and that creates a thickness in energy which can very easily translate into a heaviness. And individuals can easily translate that into a feeling of depression. My…
ALEX: What can she do to alleviate her condition?
ELIAS: My suggestion is that she begin by acknowledging all of these expectations that she incorporates with herself and begin to intentionally, several times within each day, acknowledge an accomplishment, regardless of what it is, and to generate some expression of appreciation, in a genuine manner, engaging this action, as I have stated, several times within each day. The acknowledgement of accomplishments allows the individual to interrupt some of the expectations. And the expression of appreciation allows the individual to reinforce acceptance.
ALEX: Okay. Thank you for that. I was also wondering if you could maybe tell me what my family was, and which family I am aligning with, because this is an area I still haven’t explored really well.
ELIAS: Essence family, Sumari.
ALEX: Sumari?
ELIAS: Yes. Alignment, Ilda.
ALEX: Ilda. So, is this part of the reason that I connect more with Seth’s material than I connect with yours?
ELIAS: Perhaps that may generate somewhat of an influence, but also I may express to you that it is a preference.
ALEX: Oh. I understand.
ELIAS: It may be viewed that my interaction and the information that I offer in some manners as somewhat more rigid, and in association with the other essence, there may be more of a flexibility and more association with interpretation.
ALEX: Oh. I understand.
ELIAS: Therefore that offers you more of what you would term to be a leeway, so to speak.
ALEX: Yes, but your information is also interesting.
ELIAS: (Laughs) It is merely a preference, my friend.
ALEX: And now our time is almost running out and I wanted to know if you could maybe tell me something of your own, that you would like me to know?
ELIAS: What I would express to you, my friend, is to be allowing yourself to receive more freely, and in your interaction with your partner, to be generating a supportive energy.
ALEX: Okay.
ELIAS: For that may allow you to be generating more of an openness to receive, and it may also be influencing to her in reinforcement in her movement.
ALEX: That’s what I always try to do. I always try to support her, because she doesn’t always seem to believe in herself.
ELIAS: But in that supportiveness, not to be instructive, but merely to be accepting.
ALEX: Okay. My last question will be, last time you talked you gave me my essence name, but I was somewhat unable to hear it. So I was wondering if you could repeat it to me one more time?
ELIAS: You may access this information from Michael.
ALEX: Oh. Okay.
ELIAS: (Chuckles)
ALEX: Well, I guess that would be all, then, for this time that we meet.
ELIAS: Very well, my friend. I am greatly encouraging of you in your new adventures. And I am acknowledging…
ALEX: Are you aware of the progress I am making?
ELIAS: I am, and I am acknowledging of you in the movement that you have been engaging, and the awareness that you have been offering yourself, presenting yourself with more information. I express tremendous acknowledgement to you. I shall be…
ALEX: Thank you for that.
ELIAS: You are very welcome. I shall be anticipating our next meeting and I shall be anticipating a report of more progress. (Chuckles)
ALEX: I will try to do my best, Elias.
ELIAS: I incorporate no doubt. (Chuckles)
ALEX: Okay. Thank you very much for this session.
ELIAS: In great appreciation and affection to you, my friend, au revoir.
ALEX: Au revoir.
(Elias departs after 37 minutes.)
