Participants: Mary (Michael) and Jean (Lyla)

JEAN: So when we were talking about birth charts and stuff and that I was born in the fall of the year, and the fall is associated with harvest and reaping the benefits, what does that mean practically, in a sense?
ELIAS: I would say that it also the time of year of preparation, and in preparing for winter. And in that, yes, if you are a farmer it is the time of year of harvest, but I would say that that’s not the only significance of the fall.
In that, I would say that the significance of you choosing to be born in that time of year is not simply a matter of reaping what you sow – although that has definitely been a lesson – but also more so, I would say that it has been a reinforcement in relation to your intent to be prepared in everything, and that it is a matter of if you are being prepared, what is important? What is a piece of being prepared? What is a significant piece of being prepared?
JEAN: You mean like being organized?
ELIAS: Being aware.
JEAN: Being aware.
ELIAS: You have to be aware to be prepared. And in that, you have to be paying attention to what you need.
That doesn’t only mean what you need physically; that means what you need in EVERY direction, in every aspect of your life. And I would say that that is a significant part of why you chose to be born in that time of the year.
JEAN: So it’s emphasizing the necessity to be prepared to kind of step into your intent?
ELIAS: Yes. Yes.
JEAN: Because my intent is a bit challenging, in a sense.
ELIAS: I understand. But in that, this is also a reason that for you, this is a very important piece, being prepared.
JEAN: So does this tie into being prepared with what I’m about to step into?
ELIAS: Yes.
JEAN: Okay.
ELIAS: Which, what does that mean? It doesn’t mean that you are prepared only in a physical capacity; it means that you are mentally, spiritually and emotionally prepared also. It means that you are armed with information. (Pause)
JEAN: Okay. Well, I will think about that some more. (Both laugh) And I also found it interesting that my chart has a lot of fiery personality, which we talked about, but there’s also a lot of Vold energy because I think you told Dan that both Aries, which is my ascendant, and Scorpio are more Vold-type alignments. Correct?
ELIAS: Yes.
JEAN: And I guess that’s no accident as well.
ELIAS: I would agree. And what is that? It’s —
JEAN: The Vold — I’m sorry?
ELIAS: Revolutionary.
JEAN: Ah. Yes. Yes. You know, it’s interesting, because you’d say well, I’m Sumafi/Milumet. That’s what I’ve chosen. I don’t have Vold in me or this sign, but… I mean, why did I choose Sumafi/Milumet? I mean, I can see why I chose Sumafi/Milumet, but then I inserted the Vold in a different capacity, almost as a supporting feature, if that makes sense?
ELIAS: Yes. Yes. In that, it also creates that element of being prepared, in spurring you on in revolutionary capacities.
JEAN: Okay. And in this “revolutionary capacities,” you know you said the pool of probabilities I was born with, it has to do with creatures, in engaging creatures in a new direction, in a healing capacity.
ELIAS: Correct.
JEAN: Okay. Well, going on with this, so if I… I guess I’m answering my own questions here, but you had said about the fiery personality and you said, “You’ll need it if you are to face significant challenges.” So I guess the question was, did I agree to…? I guess I came in with an intent, so I needed to have these types of – I don’t know the words around it, because at some point I chose to come in with some challenges, or knowing I was going to, if I chose that.
ELIAS: Ah, yes and no.
JEAN: Okay.
ELIAS: Meaning that you may have been aware of some potential challenges, but I would also say that in that, that may have been viewed as motivating, not necessarily something negative.
JEAN: Mm-hm.
ELIAS: But I would also say that much of it you DON’T know, because if you did, then you wouldn’t be actually engaging the purity of the experiences.
JEAN: Right.
ELIAS: You don’t come into any particular lifetime knowing what that lifetime is going to present.
JEAN: Well, — I’m sorry?
ELIAS: [Inaudible] you choose in the moment. And even in relation to aspects of an individual’s life that are tremendously challenging, or let us say that are difficult and traumatic and abusive, you could choose in the moment to disengage, or you could choose in the moment to run away, or you could choose in the moment to turn the abuse in the other direction and murder your abuser, or you could choose to move in a direction of being outside of your body permanently. There are many, many, many things that you could choose. That’s the point, is that you THINK that you aren’t choosing, especially if you’re a child, and you THINK that whatever it is that you experience, there is no other way to experience it. That’s not entirely correct. And, you THINK that you enter into a lifetime knowing what you are facing, but all of the choices are made in the moment.
Therefore, it’s not about fate; it’s not about having precognitive information; it’s about choosing in the moment. And in relation to each person’s personality and their choices, and I would say their gifts and their intent and their talent, they choose differently. And in that, all those factors are a piece in relation to what YOU chose, the experiences that you chose and how they have impacted you, and now it’s a matter of what will you do with them.
JEAN: Yeah. You know, I chose to stick around.
ELIAS: You did! And you chose not to be catatonic, and you chose to be highly motivated for a time, and you chose to be excelling in what you were doing. You chose to give yourself experiences that were considerably outside of your culture – and none of that was an accident, either. It has given you a diversity of experiences, in relation to many different people and different classes.
JEAN: Yes. Which will eventually somehow pay off.
ELIAS: Most definitely. I definitely agree. But that’s what I am expressing to you. Now it’s a matter of what you DO with all those experiences. You collected, in a manner of speaking, all of these experiences, and now what will you do with them?
JEAN: I think that’s what comes in, I don’t have the roadmap. I don’t know WHAT to do with them.
ELIAS: But you don’t need a roadmap.
JEAN: (Whispers) Yeah.
ELIAS: You simply begin. And part of that, a significant part of that in the beginning, is what will you do with them? Will you be a victim of them, or will you empower yourself? Will you follow feelings, or will you be intentional? Therefore, stop saying you don’t know what to do with them. You have a considerable amount of information. You don’t need a roadmap; you simply need to be engaging now.
A roadmap tells you where you might be going. And what does that do? It is talking to you about future. What is the most important?
JEAN: The present. The now.
ELIAS: Correct. The most important is now, because that’s what creates the future.
JEAN: Right.
ELIAS: Even if you HAVE a roadmap, it depends on what choices you’re making in the present as to how you engage that map. You think about literally having a roadmap and being on a road trip, then what I would say to you is even with that, you might have a destination – and you HAVE a destination with what you are doing. You might not know what that looks like yet, but you might not know what your destination looks like on the roadmap either, especially if you’ve never been there before. (Jean laughs) And in that, whether you actually get to your destination or not depends on how you’re engaging the trip, and that depends on what you’re doing now.
Therefore, THAT’s the most important factor. You have all you need to have, right now.
