ELIAS: Good evening.
BEN: Oh. Good evening. Elias. Nice to be talking to you again.
ELIAS: And you also. And what shall we discuss this day?
BEN: This day we will be discussing my father's recent disengagement, which was quite a dramatic and intense experience. I have many curiosities about that.
ELIAS: Very well.
BEN: And my first curiosity is unrelated. But two days ago I was catching waves on my boogie board and I stopped for a second. And believe it or not, I saw a very large shark passing right next to me, which caused me to freeze, but also to be in awe of this amazing creature swimming right next to me and moving on. And I was wondering how significant this sighting was? And what is the significance of a shark in my energy? I mean, me viewing a shark.
ELIAS: I'd say that that is quite significant, my friend. It is imagery to remind you how powerful you are.
BEN: Oh.
ELIAS: These are powerful beings and very majestic. I would say that most people don't take the time to actually look at them and to actually think about these creatures and how important they are. Therefore, this is imagery for you for all of those reasons, how important you are, how majestic you can be if you allow yourself to be, and how powerful and strong you are.
BEN: And the shark is the great imagery because of that display of grace and strength and agility.
ELIAS: Yes.
BEN: Even though sharks...
ELIAS: I would very much agree...
BEN: Even though sharks have a very bad reputation and people are afraid of them.
ELIAS: They're afraid of them because of their reputation, but they have that reputation because of people.
BEN: Right, obviously. And because of films made about them and because of word of mouth and everything. But even that affected me a few days ago because for a second I froze. But then I couldn't really go anywhere. I had to trust that the shark is not after me. And so I just looked.
ELIAS: Correct. And that's what I'm saying. People are afraid of them because of the actions of people. People put themselves in certain places at certain times and in relation to certain actions that they've chosen, and then they may encounter a shark that might mistake them for some other type of being, some other type of prey. And therefore the human then has placed themselves in the shark’s environment, and they have placed themselves in a position to engage with that animal in their own environment, in their own predatory action. In that I'm not expressing that humans should never be in the same environment as a shark, but to be mindful of that and to be responsible to themselves. It's a matter of also remembering who's creating their reality. It certainly isn't the shark.
BEN: Exactly.
ELIAS: Therefore, anyone who has encountered a shark and has been in the unfortunate position of being bitten by a shark, I would say that this is a matter of them evaluating what were they expressing to themselves. What were they doing that created that situation.
BEN: Even though...
ELIAS: As I said...
BEN: Yes.
ELIAS: Continue.
BEN: I'm saying they may create actions without really knowing what they're doing, to place themselves in a situation where the shark will mistake them for prey. Right?
ELIAS: Correct. Yes. That still doesn't mean that they haven't chosen that.
BEN: Exactly. And it's not the shark's fault in any case.
ELIAS: Correct. The shark is doing what it does in its environment, and it's simply looking at the human and the actions that the human is creating as being the actions of prey.
BEN: So the shark that passed me by in the water, I don't even know if he saw me, but I was just motionless. But what would have caused him potentially to view me as prey? Color? Movement?
ELIAS: That would have to do with, yes. But not as much color as it would be movement. They're much more attuned to movement than they are to sight. Movement, sound and scent.
BEN: Oh, so because I was still. I'm not saying the shark had any intention or saw me as prey. But I'm saying that if I wanted to be more careful, I would have to pay attention to not giving him these triggers.
ELIAS: Correct. But also being mindful of you and what you're doing and what you could potentially be presenting to yourself in relation to an encounter with this type of creature. Why would you create something such as that?
BEN: Right. So I'm...
ELIAS: And in that...
BEN: Yes?
ELIAS: I would say that for the most part, if you are that close to shore, and you may be what you think of as far from the shore, but you're not far from the shore. Not if you are engaging some action such as with your boogie board or a surfboard, or any of those types of actions. If you encounter a shark coming that close in to shore, it's simply exploring. It's not hungry.
BEN: Oh, that's interesting because...
ELIAS: Therefore it likely wouldn't be hunting at that time unless it was a type of shark, and there are some types of sharks that will hunt close to shore. Because there are certain types of prey that stay close to shore for the most part. Such as seals or penguins. But there are certain types of sharks that hunt those types of prey. Therefore in that, most of the types of sharks that you would encounter closer into shore are not necessarily hunting. They're simply exploring their environment and perhaps even exploring their own territories. But they're not hunting for food, and therefore your encounter with them is not going to spark that automatic reaction of striking. Unless you are engaging certain actions that the shark would interpret as prey, but a floundering prey, therefore a wounded prey, which is easy pickings for them.
BEN: Wow.
ELIAS: Therefore, even if they're not hungry, they might... even if they're not hungry, they might go after something that they perceive as wounded.
BEN: Okay. So the bottom line is you have to be aware and careful because of the shark's natural behavior and not, you know, invite it into anything that you don't want.
ELIAS: Correct. But I would also say that sometimes these are wondrous opportunities to simply observe these majestic creatures that they're not hunting, they're not moving in a direction of being startled, and therefore they can be observed in their natural element and you can observe how majestic they actually are.
BEN: And I think the main advantage that day is that I was alone in the water and the shark was just swimming by, so there would be no other surfers or boats or anything to agitate. And I got a sighting that is sighting once in a lifetime. Amazing.
ELIAS: I would agree, I would agree. Therefore, I would express that this was something that you can take as a genuine offering to yourself of that powerful and majestic being reflecting back to you.
BEN: All right.
ELIAS: It doesn't have to... It doesn't have to make a show of its power or its majesty. It simply has to glide.
BEN: That's a good word, because it was just moving so effortlessly that I said, oh my God, this is just unbelievable. All right.
ELIAS: Beautiful isn't it?
BEN: It's a beautiful creature. Yeah. And for me, it's a really good gift. And let's move and talk about my father. And, um, a few...
ELIAS: Very well.
BEN: A few technical things that were curious to me and my brothers. The first one is that during his burial, there seemed to be some kind of mismeasurement in the grave and all the people attending the funeral just stood for 15 minutes while somebody was chiseling away on a stone to be able to fit my father. And even though it was a bit hilarious, we were all wondering where did that come from? I mean, who actually participated in this very rare event during a funeral?
ELIAS: I would say all of you did.
BEN: But was this just to make it a memorable occasion? Or... We joked around that since my father was a civil surveyor, so maybe he should have measured his own burial place.
ELIAS: I would say that that was quite appropriate. And I would also say that your father would think that that entire scene was hilarious.
BEN: Yeah, that's good to hear because he had quite a sense of humor during the last day or two, and he was joking about leaving and everything, and it was really enjoyable, even though we knew what's coming. But he didn't really mind.
ELIAS: And I would say that he kept his sense of humor not only in death, but even in the ceremony of death.
BEN: Yeah, and that's good, because we're a family with a good sense of humor. And to be able to see that and have him participate, it's a blast. It's great. A few days before he...
ELIAS: Excellent.
BEN: Yes, it was excellent. A few days before, when he just arrived at the hospital, I started talking to my mother and asking her to assist him in some manner. I was just having these imaginary conversations, and I think that it was successful because I saw a bee on my window screen that stayed there for 24 hours, and I think that was like an indicator that the energy from me was received and acted on. Is that correct?
ELIAS: In a manner of speaking, I would say that yes, it was received. And in what she's creating, it was acted on. Now, that is an interesting presentment I would say of an individual expressing a response about death who hasn't actually moved in that direction yet. That's an interesting manifestation.
BEN: Wow. So when my father, he had two episodes where he extended his hands and was smiling as if he's sensing some presence of other essences, this was the day before he passed away. What was he noticing?
ELIAS: I would say you are correct. Other energies. I would say he didn't necessarily know what those energies were, except that they were welcoming and comforting.
BEN: And these are specific essences. Some people that he knew?
ELIAS: I would express I was one of them.
BEN: Oh, oh, you were one of them? So you were actually comforting him during those moments?
ELIAS: Yes.
BEN: Wow. Fantastic. You know, it's amazing that he lived so long and not offering himself any type of complicated information like I do with your conversations. He had a very simple, structured life and didn't complicate anything. I was wondering if that's part of the reason for his longevity, except his DNA and physical structure?
ELIAS: Yes.
BEN: How much does the...
ELIAS: I would say...
BEN: Yes.
ELIAS: I would say that that is actually a part of many individual’s longevity, that the simplicity of life and the allowance of life to be simple is something that is very much linked to the longevity of many individuals.
BEN: Okay. Could you help me uncover his Essence name just so I have that tone? I didn't have any impressions except something with a C like Crimson or something, but I think these were guesses.
ELIAS: Very well. Essence name, Cassias.
BEN: Could you spell that, please?
ELIAS: Yes. C-A-S-S-I-A-S.
BEN: Oh. So my impression was partially correct in the starting sound, because that's what I got. The CA.
ELIAS: Yes.
BEN: Cool.
ELIAS: Yes.
BEN: Now two events that my nephew had and my brother. My nephew was walking around London, and somebody pointed out this building that had the name of my father on it in huge letters. It's also a name of a band, but it was quite appropriate on the day of his passing. And this is imagery from my nephew. But what is it about?
ELIAS: It's imagery that he presented to himself about your father at that time, connecting with him.
BEN: Oh, that's just a connection that, you know, bypasses distances.
ELIAS: Yes. And something that will be solid in his memory.
BEN: Oh, yeah, that's going to be very solid. And my brother on the way to Israel, he sent me a photograph where my hometown was written on the cockpit of the airplane on the outside, which is highly bizarre. And I never saw that. And he was planning to stop at my house. But what is imagery for my brother seeing my hometown on the airplane?
ELIAS: Same. The same thing.
BEN: A memorable moment.
ELIAS: Yes.
BEN: Wow. Perception.
ELIAS: All of these experiences that people have presented to themselves are simply different experiences of connecting with you, with your father in relation to his death, his passing.
BEN: So that would be for me also the drama in the hospital ward where I thought that he was going to die. And I freaked out and the staff freaked out and there was a big commotion. And then all of a sudden it subsided.
ELIAS: Yes. You each created your own imagery, your own moments associated with him.
BEN: I was wondering if you have any hint of how, as soon as he starts creating imagery, what manner could I notice his energy?
ELIAS: That remains to be seen in specifics. But what I would say to you is, look for anything that makes you laugh.
BEN: Oh, wow. That's good. So that could apply to my brothers, to my siblings also.
ELIAS: Yes.
BEN: Oh that's great. That's a good way to notice. Huh. There is my... my sister's little boy Ilan, somehow is always likened to my father for some reason. Some of his personality traits and some of his behaviors. I was wondering if this is because of some counterpart action or something that I'm not aware of.
ELIAS: Counterpart. Yes.
BEN: What, throughout the boy's life.
ELIAS: Yes.
BEN: So this means that they're sharing certain elements in their behavior and personality.
ELIAS: Yes. I would say that they are parallel counterparts.
BEN: Oh. Amazing. Wow, there's so many things going on there. So interesting when you uncover them. Is there any significance to the fact that both my parents disengaged at 3 AM, which to me seems like very deep sleep for most individuals? It feels like almost like an ideal time to disengage the body. Is that correct?
ELIAS: I would say for them, and I would say that that also was a connection between them.
BEN: Oh. How romantic. I had a lot of activity in my solar plexus to the point where I got nauseous, my sister too, during this week. It would come and go. Sometimes I would pay attention and it would dissipate. Is that what you mentioned once to an individual about threats to the genuine identity that is caused by a death of a close person?
ELIAS: Yes.
BEN: And that threat comes and goes depending on your activity. For example, when I'm surfing, it was gone. And as soon as I start thinking about something, it returns.
ELIAS: Yes.
BEN: Oh, okay.
ELIAS: And it's not unusual.
BEN: Okay. Elias, would it be correct that my gender identity is pure male? That's what I feel.
ELIAS: Yes.
BEN: Oh, okay. That was clear. And a few months ago, walking in Jaffa, this kid comes out with his mother and points at me and tells his mom, look, mom, this guy's a handsome man. And that was hilarious. And the mother gave me a glance and walked away. But somebody recognized me. I think the boy recognized me. Maybe both the boy and mother were in another focus.
ELIAS: One moment. Correct. Congratulations.
BEN: So he was just pointing to his mom my handsomeness probably in the other focus.
ELIAS: No, now. But also having a recognition of that.
BEN: Huh? All these connections, these are all hints of interconnectedness, right?
ELIAS: Yes.
BEN: And, you know, I drink coffee every Saturday on the same bench in Tel Aviv. And for the past couple of months, the same crow appears right next to me, and I give him some crumbs of my food, and it's almost like become my friend. I think that's just a genuine...
ELIAS: That is actually, I would say, something to be grateful for, my friend. Crows are very intelligent beings.
BEN: I love it. Every week I wait for him and I feel like we're connected and he gets really close to me and they are very clever. I really admire them.
ELIAS: Yes. Very clever. Very intelligent.
BEN: I think to the point that some people. Yes.
ELIAS: Repeat.
BEN: I think they're clever to the point that they threaten some people, humans that are a bit scared of them.
ELIAS: I would agree, but I would say that humans have a tendency to be afraid of many things that don't necessarily warrant that fear.
BEN: Exactly. At least they didn't see a shark in the water.
ELIAS: I would say that it was excellent that the shark appeared to you.
BEN: Right. Okay. Elias. We're going to end because the buzzer is off. And we had a great... I had a great time. Very interesting conversation. I hope you did, too.
ELIAS: Always, my friend. Always. And I express tremendous encouragement to you in great friendship, as always. And in such tremendous love and affection to you. Go find things that are funny.
BEN: I will. That's easy.
ELIAS: Until our next conversation. Au revoir.
BEN: Bye bye.
