Participants: Mary (Michael) and Jason (Spensar)
ELIAS: Good day!
JASON: Hi, Elias.
ELIAS: (Laughs) My friend. And what shall we discuss this day?
JASON: Okay. It's good to talk to you again. I wanted to start off with a trivial question, which is something fun. In recent years there's been many sightings of large, black, triangle-shaped UFOs or flying aircraft. There are a lot of pictures of them available and even some videos, but it's not known what they are by most people. Are they something that's related to our military, or is this something inter-dimensional?
ELIAS: Both. At times, it is an inter-dimensional bleed-through, but at times it is not. I would express that you have developed technology that far exceeds what the general populace is aware of, and in that, your government, in cooperation with private enterprises and corporations, has developed different types of craft which are in actuality moving in the direction... are not yet, but moving in the direction of being prototyped for future craft that you likely will be using in relation to space travel. You have not quite developed that much yet, but you are moving in that direction very rapidly, which is also very much connected with this shifting consciousness.
But at times, they are inter-dimensional bleed-throughs. They are slightly different. Therefore, if you were to genuinely scrutinize the photographs, you would notice some differences. The unfortunate aspect, if you will, is that most of the photographs are not of a quality that the differences are easily distinguished.
JASON: I've actually read descriptions of two types that have been seen.
ELIAS: Ah! Yes, there are differences, and in that, yes, some are bleed-throughs that you actually can see, and that also is a factor in relation to shifting. Remember, that is one of the main aspects of this shifting consciousness, is thinning or dropping those veils of separation. Therefore it is much easier or much more likely to actually objectively see or encounter or hear or engage with some type of sense data, other-dimensional expressions.
JASON: Why don't I personally have these bleed-through experiences, or am I just not noticing?
ELIAS: It is not necessarily that you are not noticing. I would express that more so, it is a matter of attention and importance.
Let me express to you that there may be many subjects that you or any individual may be curious about or may be interested in but do not necessarily express a significant importance with them, and therefore you do not engage your attention much with them. You may be interested, and you may be curious, but not necessarily to the point in which that subject becomes more important to you than other subjects that are important to you.
JASON: Which is why I even called the questions trivial when we first started. (Laughs)
ELIAS: (Laughs) Precisely.
JASON: Moving on to something of more personal interest. This is going to get into presence, but I wanted to start out with reading a couple of quotes from the gentleman who created open focus exercises that I've talked about in the past. He created them by attempting to stimulate synchronous alpha waves – brain waves – using his equipment years ago. He writes of his experience after practicing for a while with these exercises, and this is his subjective description of the change in his experience. He feels more open, lighter, freer, more energetic, spontaneous, less urgency, more intimate with sensory data, more intuitive. He talks about his personal style changing, becoming lighter so that people of various ages seem more inclined to gravitate towards or be playful with him. His relationship with children became softer, more personal. His arthritis cleared up, or the symptoms cleared up.
My other question for you: Is that simply a result of being more present, or is there something else more involved?
ELIAS: I would express yes, it is a matter of being more present, but he is attributing it to a method he engaged to allow him to BE more present.
JASON: Right.
ELIAS: Which matters not. Any method that any individual engages to ultimately achieve being more aware or being more present is definitely a benefit. And what I would express to you in that is merely that it is important to recognize that it is a method, and therefore it may or may not be successful with other individuals.
JASON: Mm-hm.
ELIAS: Whenever an individual develops a method that allows them to accomplish any significant action, they are eager to share that with other individuals, and their perception generally moves in the direction that if it was successful for them then it absolutely will be successful for everyone. And that is the catch, is that it may NOT be successful for everyone, but it was successful for them. What is significant is that the individuals are compelled to share their accomplishment, which is encouraging to other individuals that if one individual can accomplish in one direction, then yes, everyone can, merely not necessarily with the same method.
JASON: Okay, perfect.
Along those lines, in practicing being present, which is something that I do myself, I've noticed very recently what I think is a step in the right direction, which is less of viewing it as a technique that I'm doing and more so noticing what I'm doing to block being present, or what preconceptions do I have, or expectations, that are keeping me busy and distracted.
ELIAS: I would agree.
JASON: It gets around the whole idea that if you're doing a technique, there's a... (laughs)
ELIAS: Your focal point. And when you have a focal point, you are more likely to remember.
That is the benefit of incorporating any type of a focal point, whether it be a technique or whether you term it to be a method, or whether it be an object or an affirmation or a particular movement. It matters not what it is; anything that you use as a focal point is more likely to remind you to engage that subject, and therefore you will practice it more.
JASON: That's a broader definition than I was using. (Elias laughs)
About a week ago I started doing that appreciation exercise that you had recommended or had talked about, where you put a dollar in a box every time you reach appreciation for yourself or an accomplishment.
ELIAS: Excellent!
JASON: And that you do that for six months.
ELIAS: Yes.
JASON: So it's been about a week, and in the days that I've done it so far I've put away between $1 and $10 or so into the box. Does this sound like it's an effective approach for me, or is there something I should be doing differently?
ELIAS: Yes! I would express yes, that it IS effective. And in that, do not generate an expectation of yourself that you will suddenly feel significantly different, for that is unlikely. But, over time, you will notice difference subtleties that you are behaving differently, just as you were expressing in relation to this other individual and his method and his realization that his identification of importances shifted. Therefore, he was more open to other individuals, less bothered in different situations, or less affecting, or in that, less urgent. When you are generating that expression of appreciation, and you are reinforcing it with an actual physical action, you are not necessarily relying on your thinking to validate you; and in that, you begin to express actions and behavior that reflects that appreciation more so. I would express tremendous encouragement to you in that action.
JASON: Thank you. I do have more appreciation-related questions, but I wanted to get on to a separate topic, which is something I started asking you about in a previous session but I didn't follow up with in and I want to get into more detail, so I'm going to start from the beginning. It is a creation technique that I've had success with in the past, in some cases what I would consider very good success, meaning highly unusual (laughs) events occurred.
ELIAS: Very well.
JASON: It started out with – I explained this previously – that I was bowling, and if I had a bad score, which I'm normally a terrible bowler so I had a bad score. But I said, “Could I imagine how it would feel if I had just had a great shot, and could I imagine feeling that way now?”, and I was doing that after each shot. I very quickly started putting up strike after strike after strike and getting much higher scores than I ever got. So I applied that to a number of different areas, and I think you had mentioned that that was a valid creation technique in the past.
ELIAS: Very much so, yes. It is very similar. It is your creation, your invention and therefore your variation on what I have expressed to other individuals in relation to an experiential visualization exercise in which, in its basis, you are generating the same action. You are, in a manner of speaking, imagining yourself experiencing NOW, in this moment, what you want to create, and that translates in your energy, removing obstacles and allowing you to actually create that very expression in that time framework, or very quickly subsequently.
JASON: It seems to work better when I've been making an effort to be present more.
ELIAS: Most definitely. I would express that the time factor in relation to the success of it is very much affected and influenced by your presence. If you are less present, if you are projecting your attention, if you are distracted, then it is not that it will not be successful at all, but it generally will incorporate more time, for you are not as focused. And you not being as focused, your energy as you project it outward becomes more scattered. Therefore, it does not move directly to what you want; it moves indirectly to what you want.
JASON: Okay. I've used it many times with success and many times without success, so I want to dig into what were the different factors here. I've definitely noticed a time lag in the past, where often what I would... Well for example, one of the things I was looking for was a better job or a job where I was appreciated more, and lo and behold a couple months later I did get one. (Laughs)
Actually, let me start with the first question on repetition. So, the one way that I would practice it in the past is I would make a list of some things that I was working on, then I would go through the exercise every day or maybe every other day, imagining that experience with each of those things, once a day again or every other day. Is repetition important here, or… ?
ELIAS: Yes. Repetition is important, and the reason for that is twofold. One is that repetition familiarizes you with a subject and is not merely one idea in one moment fleeting, that you are generating a communication with yourself and including your body consciousness when you are expressing that repetition. And the more you do that, the more familiar it becomes to your body consciousness, and the more your body accepts it and therefore moves you in whatever direction it is that you want, or even that you do not want.
This is a very successful method which is also familiar. You are being exposed to and engaged with repetition from birth; and in that, it is a very familiar expression, and that is the reason that it is easily accepted. For, repetition in expressions is generated to you, around you, with you constantly, from birth. And in that, you do eventually move in a direction of accepting whatever that repetition is. Whether it is a benefit to you or not, you will eventually accept it, and therefore you will create it.
JASON: Whether it's positive or negative. (Laughs)
ELIAS: Correct. Precisely, and it is a very strong expression. It is very successful. It is suggestion. And all of you, without exception, are very suggestible, and you eventually accept whatever suggestion is being presented to you if it is presented to you repeatedly. You begin to trust it. You believe it, and believing is the same as trusting. And it matters not whether you deem it to be good or bad; you will believe it. This is the reason that affirmations are successful, for they are repetition. It is also the reason that exercises and practice is successful, for that is the same principle. It is repetition.
JASON: Interesting. Now there's some tricks or hangups here. I know that there's a reason why I don't use this all the time (laughs), and that's because I could get caught up with expectations, where I'm checking too much to see if it's going to occur what I'm trying to create.
ELIAS: Ahh, yes. I am very much understanding, and –
JASON: It's not enjoyable.
ELIAS: That is very different, for that is the reverse. That is when you are NOT trusting. When you move in that direction of continuously checking to, in your terms, make sure that it is working or being successful, you are obviously expressing not trusting. You are not believing in it, and you are not trusting. Therefore, you are not neutral.
In relation to suggestion and repetition, if you are neutral or if you are moving in a direction of believing the possibility, generally you will be successful. If you are moving in the direction of repetition but you are not believing it, you are not trusting it, you are continuously checking and observing, then it is very likely that you will not be successful, or you will draw the time framework into much more of an incorporation of time, much longer of a duration before you accomplish. Therefore, you will require that repetition for a much longer time framework.
JASON: And in a realistic way to implement this, you need to either adopt a way to either distract yourself or somehow... To give you an example that I've used it successfully and unsuccessfully in is I travel either by plane or bus or train frequently, so I'll make it a game to attempt to create a particular person that sits next to me, whether it's somebody I want to have a conversation with or I just want more space, if I want a free seat or something like that. And sometimes it's been remarkably, amazingly successful, and many times it's not, and I get a sense that there's that… You can almost feel it as each person walks by looking for their seat whether I'm checking to see or I'm sort of reacting as they walk by, and if I'm reacting as they walk by then it's usually not successful.
ELIAS: Ah now, I will express to you in that very example what the difference is, and this very much is your subject of being present, paying attention to you. When you move in that direction in which you are checking each individual and you are observing them and you are assessing, “Perhaps this individual, definitely not that individual, maybe this individual; oh no, not THAT individual,” when you are doing that, your attention is entirely outside of you. You are not paying attention to you; you are paying attention to what is outside of you, and you have lost all sense of what YOU are doing and what energy you are projecting. You are now occupied with and very focused on what is outside of you. How can you be trusting yourself and even in any capacity directing yourself and being aware of the energy that you are projecting in relation to what you want if you are not in the equation?
JASON: Right.
ELIAS: If the only thing that exists about you in that equation is your mind and everything outside of you, you cannot very well be directing of yourself and intentionally creating what you want, even if you are expressing repetition in a manta: “I want this, I want this, I want this, I want this.” That is the same as we have discussed in relation to parlor tricks and an individual attempting to tip a table and expressing, "Tip the table, tip the table, tip the table, tip the table." That does nothing. You can repeat words or thoughts over and over and over, and it matters not.
Remember, thought does not create your reality; it is a translating mechanism. In this, you can think and think and think and it will not change anything in your reality. In this, if what you are paying attention to is all these outside sources and what you are thinking about them, you are not directing.
JASON: One of the things that actually made me think of trying this technique was a reference in a book, and I think it was a book about projecting or sort of out-of-your body travel, and they made the suggestion to in order to go someplace... Let's see if I can think of this correctly. It was... imagine how that place felt, or something like that, and that would draw them to that place.
ELIAS: I am understanding.
JASON: Because then it made me wonder if I could use that same technique to draw myself to specific circumstances.
ELIAS: Precisely, yes. Which, once again, is very much the same as experiential visualizations. In that, you are doing the same. You are using different words, but you are doing the same action. You are allowing yourself to experience what you would feel if that were occurring in this present moment.
JASON: Is holding onto that feeling, that sense of your body consciousness, how it feels in that moment, is that important, or is it just to do it and let it go?
ELIAS: I would express that you could do either. I would also say to you that it may be more difficult to hold to that feeling, and therefore it would not be necessary. In that, you could do that, and it would be equally as successful – not more successful than if you were to allow yourself that experience and then not be concentrating on it, but merely knowing that you can do it. It would require a considerable amount of energy to hold.
JASON: Yeah, even holding would be limited for a certain timeframe.
ELIAS: Yes, yes.
JASON: Just curiosity: Is this in any way leading towards how somebody would travel across space, I guess, directly? Kind of like projecting?
ELIAS: Traveling through space rather than around space?
JASON: What I'm thinking of is, I think some people have asked you about teleporting or something like that in the past. Is that in any way similar, or is this completely different?
ELIAS: It IS similar, and I would express that it is definitely a component of teleporting, for in that, to generate that action of teleporting it would require you first of all being present, and also it would be very beneficial to imagine the experience as if you were already doing it. For once you are giving yourself the experience, it removes a considerable volume of doubt, apprehension, possible fear, and therefore you are much more likely to allow yourself to actually accomplish.
JASON: Okay. A few examples here. How does this relate with other people? Meaning, ... Obviously I gave you examples of nonspecific people, but with specific people I've noticed that it can be tricky that you don't want to get into a pushing type of energy. I had an incident in the past where I was playing around with that technique, and I got representation that I was trying way too hard. It showed up in multiple different ways, and then I noticed it. But I guess that's just general pushing that could show up in anything.
ELIAS: Yes, I would agree, but in this, what specifically are you questioning in relation to other individuals and influencing other individuals?
JASON: I don't think I really have a question here. I think I was kind of figuring out, because I think in my own experiences, the answer to my question is I've certainly been successful. A good example would be that… This was a few years ago where someone that I didn't really know that well but I was doing this as a test, to see if I could create a conversation with that person, like an in-depth conversation with that person, someone that I had not spoken to at all, and lo and behold it happened within a few days or a week or something like that.
ELIAS: Yes. Now in that capacity, yes, that is the reason that I presented the question. For in relation to your previous example of an individual that would sit near you or next to you for different reasons, you are not generating choices for them.
You are not generating the choices for them; you are merely drawing to yourself specific types of individuals, but you are not generating the choices or their expression.
JASON: Okay, so this incident where it actually worked with this specific individual, engaging conversation and stuff like that, that was just kind of that they matched that energy or something like that? Not necessarily...
ELIAS: It was that you drew the individual to you and then allowed yourself to engage the action that you wanted to engage.
Now; in that, you drew the individual in a time framework more specifically that the individual would be more open to the direction that you wanted to engage in conversation. Therefore, there was a timing factor also. But you are not generating other individuals' choices. Therefore, in any moment the other individual could change the subject entirely, or change their interaction in some capacity. But your accomplishment was that you influenced drawing that specific individual to you in a particular time framework with a particular intention.
JASON: Interesting. Okay, so it's about keeping a very easygoing attitude about it – a playful attitude, I guess.
ELIAS: Yes! That is tremendously helpful. For, the more serious you are, and the more you move in a direction of attempting to manipulate the situation entirely, the more likely you are to be pushing.
JASON: Right.
ELIAS: And then you have seen what you create in THAT situation.
JASON: Yes. (Both laugh) Very vivid feedback.
ELIAS: Not necessarily what you want. (Both laugh)
JASON: That's funny.
Okay, let's say you're present and you did this with the intent to draw someone to conversation but it didn't happen. Is it just because they made the decision not to participate?
ELIAS: That is one possibility, or as I expressed, another possibility could be timing.
JASON: Timing.
ELIAS: To create precisely what you want in the capacity that you want, there may be a timing factor. Therefore, in a particular time framework, the other individual might not necessarily be as receptive as they would be in another time framework.
JASON: Okay.
Two incidences that happened on airplanes recently: I’ve spoken how while I'm traveling I tend to be a lot more present than when I'm not traveling; it's just the way I'm not distracted, and my travel has gotten very interesting because of that. My flights have all been early, I've been upgraded as far as my seat goes, I've had some very interesting people sitting next to me. There was one incident where I specifically said, "I'd like to draw a particular person next to me that I can have a good conversation with so that the time would fly." I remember thinking that ahead of time, and lo and behold it happened. Someone sat next to me that was in my field, industry, and I started a conversation and the time breezed by. I mean, that felt almost like magic.
ELIAS: (Laughs) I would be expressing congratulations to you. It is quite amazing of how powerful you actually are, and how much you actually can accomplish that you do not necessarily recognize yet. (Chuckles)
JASON: Is the fact that it was successful, I believe because I was present, but also is there a belief factor, that I think... Like for example, if I was home and I said, "I think someone's going to come to my door that matches this description," I don't believe it's very likely to happen, but if I'm in an airport and I think I'm going to run into someone or something like that, I think there's a good chance you COULD run into someone like that.
ELIAS: I agree, and that is because of what you would term to be extenuating circumstances or extenuating factors. If you were at home, you are correct, it would be less likely that you would actually draw that type of experience to you, for there are other factors. There are other individuals at home. And even if the other individuals are NOT at home, you incorporate residing in a neighborhood in which other individuals reside, and in that there are many different energies that influence you in relation to what you will allow yourself to do and what you will not.
JASON: Interesting.
ELIAS: When you are in a place, a location, that you are either alone OR you are surrounded by individuals that you deem to be strangers, your concerns dissipate considerably. You are much more likely, or it is expressed much more easily, that you are more paying attention to yourself than other individuals and what their perception is. You are not concerned as much with the perception of other individuals around you if they are all strangers.
JASON: Right.
ELIAS: And if you are alone, you are not concerned with the perceptions of other individuals, for you are alone.
JASON: But the actual drawing part, like... If I was not concerned about the people in my house or the people in the neighborhood, I could really draw someone to my house?
ELIAS: You could. Yes, you could, most definitely. And in that, in any number of capacities, you could be projecting that energy very intentionally, and the individual may come to your house, stop at your house, and express that they are lost, or that they are in need of directions, or that they are moving through the neighborhood offering information. There can be any NUMBER of reasons for the other individual, why they will appear at your house.
JASON: Wow.
ELIAS: But in that, it matters not. It is a matter of paying attention, and once they are present, once they are physically there at your house, what is the interaction and how does it proceed, and is it moving in the direction that you projected? Likely it will, for that is the point. You are not generating the choices for the other individual; therefore, you are not controlling the other individual, but you are influencing, you are drawing them to you specifically, and in that draw, they are also generating choices and their own expression, which connects with you.
This is the wonder of physical reality, my friend, is that it is so precise and so immaculate, and that it is so interconnected and fits so well, that everything is so precise, and it is all orchestrated by energy and what energy is being projected and what energy matches what energy. And it is, in your terms, magical.
JASON: Beyond individuals... Well, individuals is one of the harder parts for me to understand – you know, the difference between drawing and choice. I can understand the idea of money and stuff like that and I've had success with that.
ELIAS: I would express you could practice in another capacity, which may also emphasize that magical aspect to you. You could practice with drawing to you a different type of life form, such as an animal or a plant. They're both living manifestations, and they also interpret choices.
JASON: Perhaps an Elias butterfly? (Laughs)
ELIAS: And it may appear initially to be quite random that a particular animal would suddenly appear at your door, or in a particular location. Or even a plant, that a particular plant suddenly appeared in a particular location.
JASON: Interesting. What about an inter-dimensional visitor? (Laughs)
ELIAS: I would express that you could do that also. That, I would express, is slightly more difficult or challenging, only for the reason that a plant or an animal is not threatening to you.
JASON: Yeah, obviously if ...
ELIAS: There is not necessarily a factor of apprehension or fear.
JASON: If they could show up during the day, it would be preferred. (Both laugh)
ELIAS: “I would prefer an alien being within the daylight hours and no more than three feet tall.” (Both laugh) “A very non-threatening alien.” (Laughs)
JASON: Right. Okay, that's definitely something I'm going to play with more. My last call was about developing specific uses of appreciation to create certain outcomes, but it seems like this is just a more precise way of creating.
ELIAS: I would agree.
JASON: Okay.
ELIAS: I would express that presence is a tremendous factor, and IS more precise and will generate manifestations much more quickly.
JASON: The other thing I would do occasionally with... I was doing “Can I imagine what it would feel like?” – and this was when I was particular busy – “If I had all the time in the world to do whatever I want, and can I imagine feeling that way now?” And I ended up creating two months off from work paid (both laugh), which actually made me want to have more stuff to do. (Both laugh)
ELIAS: Congratulations!
JASON: So that was tied to that expression?
ELIAS: Yes. Definitely. I would also express to you, this is one of those examples which individuals express “be careful what you wish for,” for many times what seems appealing and SEEMS that you want, you do not necessarily want once you have it. (Chuckles)
JASON: No, there is a benefit to structure.
ELIAS: Definitely a benefit to structure. (Chuckles)
JASON: And even I realized, I like getting out of the house (laughs), having a reason to get out of the house and be in my office or whatever and talk to other people. Simply being at home is not what I want to do. (Elias laughs)
Interesting. All right, that was fantastic. With the remaining time, I was curious about... This is a completely different area. I was curious with the global changes and the furthering of the Shift, the idea that there's going to be a reduction on our utilization of oil as an energy source. Does it seem likely that that would occur because we have plentiful alternatives, or it's more that the global changes necessitate the reduction in that use, meaning that there is a period in between where a source of energy is not as plentiful until we develop something new?
ELIAS: (Pause, then slowly) Both. I would express that in relation to what you term to be fossil fuels, mm… they are and will become more and more challenging to excavate.
[The timer for the session rings]
Therefore, that is one factor. But I would also express that the other factor of inventing new directions in use of energy will prove itself to be more effective.
JASON: Okay. That's it for time now, so I'll save some of that follow-up for our next session. It’ll fall into one of my more trivial questions. (Both laugh)
ELIAS: Very well.
JASON: Thank you very much for your time. It was great speaking to you.
ELIAS: You are very welcome, my dear friend. I shall greatly be anticipating our next meeting, as always. A wondrous lovingness to you. Au revoir.
JASON: Goodbye, Elias.
(Elias departs after 59 minutes)
