“Enlightenment”
Sunday, February 18, 2007 (Private)
Participants: Mary (Michael), Daniil (Zynn), and Natasha (Nichole)
ELIAS: Good afternoon.
DANIIL: Good afternoon.
NATASHA: Hi, Elias.
ELIAS: (Chuckles) And what shall we discuss this day?
NATASHA: Well, we have a long, long list that we prepared on the way here.
DANIIL: Yeah. I thought if you don’t say that, I will say that: “And what shall we discuss today?”
ELIAS: (Laughs) Very well. And you may also, if you are so choosing! (Group laughter)
DANIIL: Okay. This session, we planned it, and then there was a lot of snow. With that email we each had (inaudible) we’re not going. But then something was pulling us here, and we ended up going.
So one question is, is this kind of a demonstration of the fact that the choices are in the moment, which is… yes? Will you tell us?
ELIAS: Yes.
DANIIL: There is no static choice that you have to find. You kind of find it in the moment, this thing.
ELIAS: Yes. And that events are not necessarily sequential. Even if they appear to be, they are not, and each action creates its own outcome. And therefore, regardless of your plan, that can change in an instant. It is also an example of allowing yourselves to be spontaneous.
DANIIL: Yes.
NATASHA: Yes. We thought about it.
DANIIL: Yeah. I actually complimented Natasha for being spontaneous. (Elias laughs)
NATASHA: Actually, I was quite confused. I didn’t know what I wanted. There were so many pullings into different directions that I had no clue. But logically I understood that if I don’t go, I will regret that later and I will be beat myself up for not doing it. So I decided, Ah! The weather is beautiful. I need to leave. Why don’t I leave? So we need to go.
ELIAS: (Laughs) And in that also, following your intuition, listening to yourself and engaging your preferences. Congratulations!
DANIIL: Thank you. (Elias laughs) Now, the night before, when I was falling asleep, I think I saw this room and the wall, and then I saw some images of maybe Vermont or similar. And I felt almost like Vermont is pulling me, in a manner of speaking. And there is that notion, right? Some people say that some places pull you. What is this? Just a preference?
ELIAS: It is actually a matter of resonance. Individuals actually DO resonate with certain physical locations, and they resonate more with some locations than other locations. This is something that you will actually feel when you genuinely resonate with a physical area.
Many, many, many individuals dwell in areas that they may partially resonate with, but not entirely. And in that, they incorporate little thought as to the area in which they dwell, and they express somewhat of a neutrality in relation to it. They do not generate tremendous excitement, but they also are not tremendously distressed in their location.
But when you actually go to an area that you do strongly resonate with, you will actually feel it. And in that, you will feel a pull, and you will feel a genuine enjoyment when you engage that area. It will be beyond merely liking it. You will actually enjoy all of it, regardless of what the presentment is. Such as a town: you will enjoy the town, the individuals, the streets, the architecture, the weather, the air.
NATASHA: Yes. (Laughs)
DANIIL: Yes.
ELIAS: You will experience it, rather than merely being in it. Which is different from being in areas that you partially resonate with or that you do not resonate at all with. In that situation, you also know, for if you do not resonate with an area and you choose to dwell in a particular location that you do not resonate with, you will experience the contrary. Perhaps you will become depressed or angry or distressed or anxious, and you will feel a repulsion for all of your environment, which can create considerable unhappiness with individuals. And generally, individuals do not continue to dwell in areas that they do not resonate with at all.
But it is an interesting experience when you encounter a physical location that you do resonate with strongly, for you actually experience it, and that is quite different.
DANIIL: Would you say that for both of us this town resonates strongly with?
ELIAS: Yes.
NATASHA: I was more inclined to relate it not to the area but to individuals who live here.
ELIAS: That also. But it is also an element of the environment. And I will express to you, there are many different areas that incorporate what has been identified as a vortex, so to speak. They are energy points, or a type of physical energy center. And they are located in many, many, many different areas, and this would be one also.
NATASHA: Okay.
ELIAS: Which many individuals will experience. Even if they do not entirely resonate with this location, they will recognize a difference in the energy.
NATASHA: Okay. Cool. Thank you.
DANIIL: How large would be the area, approximately, affected by a vortex? Is it like a town? Or is it a very small lot, a small building?
ELIAS: It can vary. It can be, in certain areas, a small area. But it can also be extending larger than a town.
NATASHA: What about this one?
ELIAS: This would be somewhat of a large energy center, which extends several miles in radius.
NATASHA: Okay. Thanks.
DANIIL: So, yeah, a quick follow-up question. So if people go to some monastery sometimes, where people, let’s say, meditated for thousands of years, the tendency is to attribute the magnificent feeling there to that fact, to the human factor. But it may sometimes be the reverse. It may be the natural phenomenon that attracted the monks to begin with, right? Or is it a combination of them?
ELIAS: It is somewhat a combination, but the larger factor would be the energy of the individuals and what you term to be the living manifestations of that environment that contribute a particular energy to the environment itself as a whole. For although every manifestation emits an energy, those manifestations that you identify as living create a stronger energy, or project a stronger energy, for they project an interactive energy.
Any manifestation that you deem to be living, regardless of what it is, creates an interactive energy. Therefore, in a manner of speaking, there is a give and take, a projection and a reception. And in that, they generate a stronger contribution to the environment itself and to your actual planet. And therefore, the more energy that is directed in what you would term to be balance or a harmonious manner, the more likely that energy will create a vortex. And the longer that energy is expressed in that area, the stronger the vortex will be.
Which the attraction for most individuals with these types of locations is that there is such an energy deposit in such concentration from generations and generations and generations of living manifestations, yourselves included, that it is easy to accomplish in these areas, for there is a reservoir of energy that is held in these areas, for it is a type of circle that continues to be created.
DANIIL: By the humans.
ELIAS: Correct. And therefore, it builds in strength within time, and the more incorporation of time, the stronger the vortex.
DANIIL: Where we live, there is a church that is kind of old and stands out, relatively, from everything else around there. Is there a small energy center there?
ELIAS: Yes.
NATASHA: Is it why we like the location so much that we didn’t go many blocks from there?
ELIAS: That is a draw.
DANIIL: I was almost conscious on a logical level, too. I don’t want to move away from that church because I made that connection. The church stands out so much from everything else.
ELIAS: And in actuality, it is beyond an attraction, for what occurs is you resonate with an inner knowing. You may not objectively understand what that inner knowing is, and you may not necessarily objectively understand how to tap into that or what to do with it, but it is present. And there is an inner knowing that this energy can be tapped into and that it can generate its own pooling of energy with you individually to allow you to accomplish different expressions much more easily, and to allow you a much more easy expression within your experiences.
When you realize objectively that you CAN tap into these energies, you can accomplish amazing experiences.
NATASHA: It’s a question of how would we do that.
DANIIL: And now how would we tap into those?
ELIAS: Merely by generating an openness, which, when you resonate with a particular environment, that is very easy to do. It is very easy to be open to that location and all that is within that environment, for you are attracted to it. Therefore, you naturally generate an openness.
And in that openness, you can allow yourself to intentionally relax and merge with the energy of the environment, set an intention that you want to accomplish, and you will accomplish it quite easily.
NATASHA: Do you want to talk about our situation, since we are already talking about the location of the apartment?
DANIIL: Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Go ahead.
NATASHA: We just made a commitment to buy an apartment that we are in right now. And we have been looking for quite a while at different possibilities of where to live, still within the area, but different (inaudible). And at the end we just end up where we were, just changing the financial status and I guess becoming kind of owners of our apartment.
And in a way, I did feel betrayed by myself by not allowing myself to go for a bigger place but staying in the same place, even though I did realize we do love our apartment. We love our area, and I didn’t even go into a different apartment into the same building because I love our apartment so much. But at the same time, it’s like two conflicting situations: I want more space, but I don’t want to move out from that spot. And then, so to speak, we made a commitment to buy this one, and I kind of am a little bit betrayed. Do you have any comments on this?
ELIAS: I would express that you have not betrayed yourself. I will acknowledge that you have experienced somewhat of a disappointment with yourself, but let me express to you: whenever you choose a direction to engage, there are other branches, so to speak, that are engaged also. You could liken this to each time you move in a specific direction, you are creating a tree. And the direction is the main body of the tree, which is the trunk. But with each tree there are many offshoots, and many of those offshoots do not appear immediately. They grow, and they expand. And in this, in your terms, some of those offshoots are unforeseen when you initiate a particular direction.
Now; perhaps the theme of this conversation this day is inner knowing. For when you choose significant directions within your focus - those that you view as important decisions and important directions - this is not hidden from you, but it is generally an element of yourselves that you are at times somewhat aware of but for the most part are not aware of objectively, for it has never been encouraged to pay attention to. But you each incorporate an inner knowing within you that is influential in choosing certain directions.
Now; this inner knowing at times can be influential in generating decisions or directions that initially may appear to incorporate disappointment. But that knowing that you incorporate knows what is to your greatest value. Remember: value is not always accomplished in comfort, but it is nonetheless valuable.
But for the most part, what this particular inner knowing does—how it operates, so to speak—is that it serves as a type of rudder to your ship. You are steering and you are directing, but this rudder avoids the largest obstacles. It may not avoid the smaller obstacles, and some of which you may think are considerably large obstacles, but in actuality, this rudder helps you to steer around the largest obstacles that would be considerably devastating or damaging to you.
That is the element of the unforeseen, the branches that have not emerged yet. And in that, generally speaking, when you choose specific directions, even if you incorporate disappointment in some elements or aspects of your choice, there [are] generally some branches about to emerge that will be a presentment of what you want, of what you want to accomplish, that you previously thought was impossible.
But these are the unforeseen, and this is the reason that it is important to listen to your intuition and to trust yourself, and to allow yourself to engage the directions that you want and to evaluate whether that disappointment is tremendous, or whether it is merely a mild disappointment but the other factors outweigh that disappointment.
For in that, you allow yourself to move forward and accomplish in one step that sets into motion other steps, and allows those other branches to emerge.
NATASHA: Thank you so much, Elias.
ELIAS: You are very welcome. (Laughs)
NATASHA: Awesome. I love it when you do this.
DANIIL: Beautiful. Now, for the two of us, sometimes it feels to me - and I know I’m being cocky or whatever - but sometimes it feels to me that I kind of feel where things are going, or if I don’t, I just don’t do anything. And like a cheetah, I just lay asleep. And she is a chipmunk; she runs around and tries this and tries that.
And finally, when something begins to appear, either in my mind or in her search, I try to zero in on it and it seems like at least I achieve what we wanted. And sometimes Natasha realizes that she kind of wanted it also, sometimes she is a little disappointed, but….I know we do not co-create—each creates individually. But how do we co-create an event, because we seem so different in our approach?
ELIAS: But once again, that is the complement.
NATASHA: That’s what I was thinking. It’s complementary. To me, it’s visible.
DANIIL: Yes.
ELIAS: Yes. It is quite visible. And in that, you each contribute a different aspect to that complement, therefore you each engage different actions that allow you to accomplish together.
Yes, you each create your own reality, but you also are participating with each other. Therefore, there is a cooperative occurring between you.
And in that, you generate the complement that allows you each to function and express in the manner that is natural to each of you but that also interconnects with the other to generate each of your own unique contribution to your shared directions.
DANIIL: Mm-hm. Yes. And I noticed—we noticed—that we do admire some of the qualities of each other. Is that true?
NATASHA: Yeah. It’s true. It happens between us.
ELIAS: Yes. You cannot bake a cake with one ingredient. (Group laughter) And once you mix all of the ingredients together, they are indistinguishable. (Group laughter) An egg no longer appears as an egg once it is folded into the flour, and the flour is no longer dry once the egg is placed within it. They are merged. But together, the ingredients create a new expression, a new manifestation. Congratulations!
BOTH: Thank you.
ELIAS: I would express a tremendous acknowledgement of both of you from our previous meeting and conversation in which you were expressing somewhat of bafflement (group laughter) of how you interact with each other. (Elias laughs)
NATASHA: He expressed more than I did, so… (group laughter)
DANIIL: Okay, before we miss it, we have some questions for others. From Inna, in relation to Osho Rajneesh, does she have a focus as his grandmother Nanni?
ELIAS: Yes.
DANIIL: Do me or Natasha participate in that family as well?
ELIAS: Yes.
NATASHA: Really?
ELIAS: Both.
DANIIL: Both. Great.
NATASHA: In what capacity?
DANIIL: Am I a focus of Inna’s husband?
NATASHA: Grandfather, I think.
DANIIL: Grandfather of Osho?
ELIAS: Grandfather. Yes.
DANIIL: Then Margaret is married to the focus of Inna.
ELIAS: Yes.
NATASHA: And who am I there…? I have no idea. (Group laughter)
FEMALE: I love the maze you are making, Elias.
NATASHA: I love that about personal sessions.
ELIAS: I would express, you are the mother of the grandmother.
NATASHA: Really. Oh my god. Interesting. Impressive. Hm! (Elias chuckles) I need to read more.
If you’re talking about it, now let’s ask about Inna’s connection to this new guy she met. And she likes him a lot, and…you’ll probably reword it better. Is there any connection between them, because she has very strong (inaudible)?
DANIIL: Okay. So (Group laughter) one question was, yes, did you help? Because she felt that you helped them to meet, and the guy felt that something pushed him towards Inna.
ELIAS: I would not be responsible for pushing, (group laughter) but I would be associated with encouraging.
DANIIL: Okay.
NATASHA: Encouraging the guy, right?
ELIAS: Both.
NATASHA: Both!
ELIAS: (Chuckles) And yes, they do incorporate connections, and they share many focuses.
NATASHA: Many focuses?
ELIAS: Yes.
DANIIL: Is there a specific shared focuses that are kind of bleed-through that she can investigate, maybe that are influential in their relationship right now?
NATASHA: Or it’s cumulative.
ELIAS: Yes. There are several, and she can investigate. And perhaps she can investigate with him.
DANIIL: With him. Okay. So she shouldn’t be afraid to talk about metaphysical subjects, to discuss metaphysical subjects?
NATASHA: Yes, she doesn’t want to scare him off yet.
DANIIL: No. Sometimes she feels intimidated, because he is an accomplished painter. What would you say to her? Because I, for example, I think I can relate to that. Both of us have core truths of loyalty, and I have that tendency of comparing also. And I say, my god, this individual created so much and me, I haven’t…
NATASHA: So little.
DANIIL: And yeah.
ELIAS: (Lecturing) This is once again a discounting. Shall I express to her to engage her bowl again?
NATASHA: (Group laughter) We told her that she needs to do that again! Excellent! I love it, I love it. Theoretically she knows all of it, but…
ELIAS: You may express to her there is no need for comparison, that she incorporates her own qualities that are significant. She expresses a TREMENDOUS capacity for sensitivity and a tremendous capacity to be empathic with other individuals, and to be supportive. And these qualities are no less than qualities that allow an individual to express in some physical creativity. They are just as important and just as valuable, and her contribution is just as full.
NATASHA: I agree. Next question.
DANIIL: Very nice. Okay. Ella has had a dream where she communicated with essence—well, maybe several, but she had one where she was taken to some place with some beings talking to her and all of that. Is that experience comparable almost to like brief enlightenment, what we call satori, sometimes people have and don’t remember? And what is enlightenment, briefly? How would you define that?
ELIAS: Yes, you could express it in that manner. I would express to you that the definition or the identification of enlightenment would be different for different individuals, for it would be associated with whatever that individual generates as connecting with what they perceive to be the most sacred.
DANIIL: Okay.
ELIAS: Whether that be a god, whether it be themself, whether it be essence, whether it be all of consciousness, it is an allowance of genuinely connecting and becoming aware of that connection and that interconnectedness and that mergence with the identification of sacred.
DANIIL: Okay. And the fascination that so many people in the past held with this phenomenon where you connect to something you haven’t seen, you’ve never seen before supposedly, and the experience of mergence with everything, All That Is, in one way or another. Sometimes people supposedly don’t remember something like this satori, right? But then it changes person’s life forever, supposedly, because there is a taste. What is the nature of that change, and why is it that that initial experiences are not remembered? Is it because there is no symbolism for that in language, or…?
ELIAS: There are different reasons for that occurrence. One is that it can be very overwhelming. Another is that it is untranslatable, and therefore that can contribute to the overwhelm, for it can create frustration in addition to overwhelm. It can also create fear, for it does not fit into what is known within your objective awareness.
Objective awareness is connected to physical reality, and therefore what you know within your objective awareness is connected with physical. And in these types of experiences, there is no translation for what is being experienced.
Or there can be a figurative translation, but the individual is always aware that it is not accurate, that it in actuality is not even close to what their actual experience is. And therefore, that can be disturbing to the individual also.
It can also create a tremendous longing, and it can discolor the purity of the physical reality. For this is an experience of connecting to All That Is in a manner in which YOU ARE. Not that you view, but that you actually experience as being, which cannot be explained within language or within physical terms. And beyond frustration, that can create a dulling of the physical reality.
But in not generating an actual memory, but generating the knowing, what occurs is that it enhances the physical reality. It allows it to bloom in greater vividness. For it allows you to appreciate much more the wonderment of what you are creating within the physical reality. And therefore, it becomes brighter rather than duller.
NATASHA: That is beautiful.
DANIIL: And then you can use that longing to your advantage also.
ELIAS: Yes. For the longing is expressed slightly without the memory. Without the memory, the longing is very slight, and that becomes motivating. Rather than wanting for what is perceived that you cannot attain, it becomes a motivation, and the longing turns and it becomes a motivation to generate more.
DANIIL: Now, Natasha made the point, which surprised me in how profound it was, and the same point was made I think by Rajneesh also, that some of us who quote-unquote seek those experiences in one way or the other, seek what has already happened in one way or the other. Yes?
ELIAS: Yes.
DANIIL: So in relation to the two of us, did we have some of that?
NATASHA: I have no memory.
ELIAS: Yes.
DANIIL: Did we have it perhaps while in our mother’s womb? Or in early childhood?
ELIAS: I would express within childhood.
DANIIL: Okay. Well, I took a lot of time. I’m sorry, but some of the questions you had you can discuss.
NATASHA: It’s okay. No. Everything’s okay.
DANIIL: Start with Rodrigo if you like, and then…
NATASHA: Okay. I have a—
ELIAS: Let me express to you: you can incorporate these experiences more than once throughout a focus and not incorporate a memory. But the indicator of incorporating more than one of the experience is that you, in moments, periodically will generate a renewed excitement for life.
DANIIL: Wow.
NATASHA: I don’t know. I'm speechless. How would you do that? I don’t know, how? I mean, I understand that you need to be open and everything, but how? Again, this is a stupid question.
ELIAS: But what I am expressing to you is that you merely do, and the evidence of it is present, for YOU experience this renewed excitement, which you do.
NATASHA: Yes. Yes, that’s true.
DANIIL: Have you not experienced…?
NATASHA: Sometimes I experience it so that it’s even painful, because it’s very touching. But it doesn’t happen all the time. But (inaudible), yes.
ELIAS: Yes.
DANIIL: So that is indeed an indication that you had those experiences.
ELIAS: Yes.
NATASHA: For me, that’s why I said that, that probably everybody experienced it.
DANIIL: So maybe not everybody.
ELIAS: Most individuals do at some point, but not all.
DANIIL: Okay. I'm tempted to finish that line about the essence. Kipling, who actually described one of those experiences—do I have a connection with him?
ELIAS: Counterpart, and also an individual that he met within his travels.
DANIIL: Okay. And is there an essence animal, a totem animal, that you can give us? Because I found out that, I guess, essences also can be described as animals.
ELIAS: This is correct. For you, I would express as essence the water buffalo.
NATASHA: Oh, wow! What a powerful creature!
ELIAS: For you, as essence, I would express a snow tiger.
NATASHA: Wow.
DANIIL: I knew she had something very powerful as essence. And then our essence intents: would my essence intent, although I don’t even know how that works, but would that be something related to focusing group energy for the purpose of exploration or some metaphysical study? Well, maybe not metaphysical.
ELIAS: Yes. I would agree. Recognize though, as essence, you do not necessarily incorporate an intent, per se. It is more of a preference.
NATASHA: A specialty.
ELIAS: Yes, in a manner of speaking.
DANIIL: Would you like to know yours? No?
NATASHA: Yeah, I would.
ELIAS: And what would you express?
NATASHA: You know, I even didn’t think about it. I don’t know. Something… No, I don’t know. I guess I'm searching for something that I cannot find. (Elias chuckles) I don’t know. Some exploration.
ELIAS: I would express that your essence preference is to be exploring different types of intimate connections.
NATASHA: Hm. So it’s tied with my focus here? Oh, wow.
ELIAS: Yes.
NATASHA: I love it. It sounds so true to me.
ELIAS: Yes, it is. (Chuckles)
NATASHA: Okay. I…
DANIIL: Okay, you wanted to ask about Rodrigo’s wife?
NATASHA: I have a couple of questions, yes. Do you mind? Or do you want to go first?
DANIIL: No no no no.
NATASHA: We still have the time.
DANIIL: Yeah, you wanted ask about…
NATASHA: Don’t be so nervous. (Laughs)
DANIIL: Should I ask about it?
NATASHA: Don’t be so nervous. What are you doing?
DANIIL: I’m usually the quiet one. (Elias laughs)
NATASHA: See? That’s how we are getting through. (Group laughter) When it was a DVD that he gave me as a gift, there was a movie about this composer, because you said I was observing essence to him, and when I saw his wife I had an impression, just by the looking at the pictures, that his wife was my friend Vita Keer. Is it a true impression?
ELIAS: Yes.
NATASHA: Really. Oh, wow. I give myself one point for it.
ELIAS: Very well. (Laughs)
NATASHA: Cool! I am so glad.
DANIIL: I was very moved by that composer also. Did I have a part in that family?
ELIAS: A grandparent.
DANIIL: A grandparent.
NATASHA: Now, I have also a question concerning my impressions. We have Peter (inaudible). And Peter, in connection, reminds me of somebody that I knew when I was working in the engineering company here in New Jersey. He reminds me of my (inaudible). I don’t think they are the same essence, but they are so similar in some aspects that sometimes I'm wondering what’s the connection. Is it similarity of tone? Or…?
ELIAS: Yes. And counterpart.
NATASHA: Similarity of tone and counterpart.
ELIAS: Yes.
NATASHA: Thanks. Very much. Very much. (Elias chuckles) Every time I see him, I'm amazed. What else was I going to ask?
DANIIL: You wanted to ask Elias if he remembers what he wanted to ask us.
NATASHA: (Laughs) That’s true. (Elias laughs) That is one of the questions I had. (Both laugh)
DANIIL: Another one was the… well, I don’t know. The hierarchy of (inaudible); the maturation of essence; what else? About taking care of tiles in the Library; the state of the union; where is the perception wave?
NATASHA: Yes. Where is the perception wave now? Is it cresting? Is it diminishing, or what’s going on? Where are we?
ELIAS: With this wave?
NATASHA: Yes. With this wave.
ELIAS: I would express that you are approximately approaching the middle.
NATASHA: The middle. So at the top portion? Correct?
ELIAS: Almost.
NATASHA: Almost. Okay. We need to hang on a little bit more.
ELIAS: (Laughs) Ah! But this is the GAME type of wave. This is the FUN wave! (Laughs)
NATASHA: Sometimes I forget. (Elias laughs) I get too involved in the game.
DANIIL: Your connection with Rodney.
NATASHA: Yes. And Lynda. I spoke to Lynda today. We need to ask those questions.
DANIIL: Yes.
NATASHA: Lynda is asking what is my – again, what is my connection to Vicki? Because Rodney was saying there is a connection, Lynda is saying there is a connection. Every time she sees me she thinks there is some either counterpart with Vicki (Lawrence) or… What’s going on there?
ELIAS: You do incorporate counterpart action, and you also have shared considerable volume of focuses together. You share a similarity in energy, and there is a similarity in tone also.
NATASHA: In tone.
ELIAS: Yes.
NATASHA: Also, I was wondering about… I feel warm, very warm. I felt warm towards Margot, who passed away. And I feel very warm toward Howard. When I see him, I have this warm feeling inside. What’s going on there?
ELIAS: That is a familiarity. You have shared many experiences with these individuals, and that creates a strong familiarity and affection.
NATASHA: Yes. That’s what it is.
ELIAS: And whether you incorporate a strong knowing of that individual in this focus or not matters not.
NATASHA: No, it doesn’t.
ELIAS: For that knowing of shared experiences creates that familiarity and that affection.
DANIIL: Did we share something in the Robin Hood dimension?
ELIAS: Yes.
DANIIL: Okay. When I wrote the poem as a teenager about Robin Hood, was that some type of bleed-through?
ELIAS: Yes.
DANIIL: Was I any character that is specified in there? Like Friar Tuck or somebody?
ELIAS: (Chuckles) I would express that a translation of a focus of you would be more associated with the brother.
DANIIL: Hm. The brother of Robin Hood. Okay.
NATASHA: That’s probably why you have a connection to Ben, to Ben House. We both feel very warm toward him as well. We have probably many shared focuses with him also.
ELIAS: Yes.
NATASHA: He feels like our baby. (Elias laughs)
DANIIL: Was he our baby at some point?
ELIAS: Yes.
NATASHA: Really?
ELIAS: Yes.
DANIIL: Okay. And so Natasha, who is she in the Robin Hood dimension?
ELIAS: This would be more associated with the father.
NATASHA: Okay. Interesting.
DANIIL: Generally, how does it…? Well, I almost said how does it feel to be a character in the book. (Both laugh) We are characters in several books, supposedly, as many, many people are. But it always comes with an element of disbelief, because okay, we are characters in this Castaneda book, but the Castaneda book is a type of fiction and a bleed-through and we are characters. So makes us a character? A character was made up to begin with.
ELIAS: But as I have expressed, the characters in the actual stories are translations. Therefore, within other dimensions you may not necessarily be that actual character. That is a representation of a type of focus that you incorporate within these other dimensions.
DANIIL: Okay. Well, you heard about Frank Sinatra, from Lynda.
NATASHA: What did I hear about him?
DANIIL: That you love him. You have warm feelings about him.
NATASHA: Yes.
DANIIL: Your connections.
NATASHA: Do I have connections with Frank Sinatra then?
ELIAS: You have shared focuses and counterpart action.
NATASHA: His songs helped me out when I came to this country.
DANIIL: Well, you wanted to ask about… What does it mean when she takes care of the… The focus of Natasha takes care of tiles in the Library, of the function of the tiles? How is it done? Like okay, she comes to work 9 to 5? (Both laugh)
ELIAS: (Laughs) Not precisely.
DANIIL: Not precisely. Okay. And then she somehow tunes in, and with her inner harmony helps those tiles remain harmonious and functional? Or…?
ELIAS: Yes. And projecting energy to continuously incorporate an alignment of each of the tiles that allows them to function properly, in whatever function they do. Therefore, in the exchange of energy with each one, that keeps them in tuned, so to speak.
NATASHA: It’s like a symbiotic relationship with the human body and (inaudible)?
ELIAS: Yes.
NATASHA: Huh?
ELIAS: Yes.
NATASHA: Oh wow.
DANIIL: And when I notice her always moving things around and checking things out, is that a kind of bleed-through from here? (Elias laughs) She always wants to feel things.
NATASHA: I like to feel things. I like to touch. I like all the physical aspects (inaudible).
ELIAS: That would be more associated with this focus, but as with any bleed-through, that is an action that occurs, for you are initiating your own expressions and drawing to you the enhancement from other focuses.
DANIIL: Similarly, being observing of Rodrigo, who was blind—perhaps being blind he was more kind of down to earth and feeling things. (Pause)
Observing: how many essences are observing me?
ELIAS: Presently?
DANIIL: Presently.
ELIAS: Fourteen.
DANIIL: Oh wow. So observing is much more common.
ELIAS: It is quite common.
NATASHA: Okay, so what about myself?
ELIAS: Twenty-one.
NATASHA: Interesting. But they, like switch, take turns? Not necessarily for the entire life.
ELIAS: Correct.
NATASHA: And how many am I participating in observing?
ELIAS: That would be unnumberable.
NATASHA: Really.
ELIAS: For it is extensive and is always fluctuating. Therefore, it would not be possible to number, just as it would not be possible to number counterpart action.
NATASHA: Okay.
DANIIL: And one question I had, in some sessions I noticed that you consistently called certain individuals by their essence name, but you never called either of us by our essence name. Is there significance to that?
NATASHA: That’s an interesting question.
ELIAS: With some individuals, I express in that manner in relation to them, that that action allows them to feel more comfortable and more openness, and allows them to receive more effectively from myself. For generally, with many of those individuals, they create a shield. Therefore, incorporating the expression of their name allows them to feel safe, and it allows them to experience and feel that I am genuinely connecting with them.
But that is not necessary for most individuals. This is not an action that most individuals require, for they DO recognize the connection that is expressed between themself and myself, and they do allow an openness to receive from myself. Therefore it is not necessary to reassure.
DANIIL: Well, we’re almost out of time. In speaking of openness yesterday, I wanted to ask quickly: My health situation was flowing of energy (inaudible). Sometimes I feel that I am a little bit more open and a little bit more allowing, but sometimes I feel that physically I am not necessarily getting better. It feels like maybe I’m still very (inaudible) in the flow. How would you (inaudible)?
ELIAS: I would agree with you, for it fluctuates. And it is a matter of what you are paying attention to, or what you are not paying attention to. (Chuckles)
DANIIL: Very well. I shall investigate. (Both laugh)
NATASHA: So I guess that’s it. Our time is up. Do you have any more questions?
DANIIL: No. I know Elias will be around.
ELIAS: As always.
DANIIL: I am looking for those little flashes.
ELIAS: (Laughs) I am always present. And remember your emerging branches.
NATASHA: Thank you so much, Elias.
ELIAS: Incorporate the allowance.
NATASHA: Sometimes I hear you in my head, you know.
ELIAS: I am aware. I am present. (Laughs)
NATASHA: You are. Thank you so much for being there for us.
ELIAS: You are very welcome. I express tremendous appreciation to each of you, and great lovingness. In dearness of friendship to you both, au revoir.
DANIIL: Au revoir.
NATASHA: Au revoir.
(Elias departs after 1 hour 5 minutes)
