Participants: Mary (Michael) and Paul (Paneus)
ELIAS: Good morning!
PAUL: Hi! How are you doing?
ELIAS: (Laughs) As always. And yourself?
PAUL: The same. (Both laugh) Hey, I had a dream last night that I want to get your insight on. What is the message that was in the dream about this old-fashioned cough syrup that we found on this person, that when we drank it, it gave us the ability to levitate objects?
ELIAS: (Chuckles) And your impression?
PAUL: I knew you were going to ask for that, and that’s a tough one. Something about we had to take shots later on that would dispel this ability, and I kind of thought it was that was done because we need to learn this on our own instead of getting artificial means to have that ability.
ELIAS: That would be one layer, and another layer would be the element of magic.
PAUL: Can you expand on that a little bit?
ELIAS: Creating your own development of magic, so to speak, that allows you to incorporate your own magic methods to create actions that you would not naturally engage, such as defying gravity.
PAUL: Hm. So, the whole theme of the dream is just magical abilities?
ELIAS: Yes, and the methods that you incorporate to generate that.
PAUL: I’ve got to think about that one.
How does the present create the past?
ELIAS: Ah! For each time you recall the past, you change it.
PAUL: I’ve heard that, yes.
ELIAS: You create a new version of it. Therefore, you insert differences in what occurred in the past when you engage memory of it in the present.
PAUL: Now can you… Let’s say you’re recalling an event and you don’t like that event. How do you actively change or alter it when you recall it in memory?
ELIAS: You can alter that by dismissing the previous memory and replacing that with a new memory. But the significant factor in that is that it cannot be merely thinking different, for it must include the element of the genuineness of it, that you are now genuinely experiencing the event differently, and that changes what occurred in the past.
PAUL: And how do you get to that genuine experiencing it differently?
ELIAS: For you alter the experience. You recall the experience, and you allow yourself to re-experience it differently.
PAUL: Without thinking?
ELIAS: There is an element of thinking, of course, for this is your translating mechanism. And therefore, yes, it would involve thinking – but not thinking alone.
PAUL: Oh, because you’re saying basically try to recreate the event and then change either the actions or the actors in the event?
ELIAS: Yes.
PAUL: Hm. Okay.
Okay, let’s discuss what was blocking my table-tipping exercise the last few times I tried it. Do you have any specific recommendations for me to be successful in the next attempt?
ELIAS: Describe to myself precisely what you did.
PAUL: Well, I had a… I sat on the floor with my back to the wall. With one occasion, I used a small dresser that was about two feet high and one foot wide. Another time I used a stool which is smaller, a wood stool. Both of them are wood. And I basically just try to relax and defocus my vision on them, with the intent for it to rise. And after a period of time, usually about… trying on both occasions about 15 minutes I did not succeed, and I was trying to avoid getting frustrated in those situations.
ELIAS: And how were you directing your concentration?
PAUL: To try to look at the grain of the wood to the point where it would look more fluid, almost, than anything else. And I figured once it looked more fluid, I would be able to command it to rise.
ELIAS: It would be the reverse. You are not expressing the instruction. You are not expressing to the table to tip.
PAUL: So I need to be instructing it first, before I get into that relaxed…?
ELIAS: I would express to you to be relaxed but generate more of an intensity of your energy being directed at the table. And in that, concentrate strongly and in a focused manner upon the action of the table-tipping. And in that, express that request to the table for it to respond to you.
PAUL: Well, I’ve done that before, and it didn’t seem like I’ve done it forcefully, and I didn’t notice any marked change in it either.
ELIAS: It is not a matter of being forceful; it is a matter of concentrating your energy and allowing your energy to genuinely connect with the table. In a manner of speaking, what is occurring in this action is that your energy is being concentrated through your fingertips in a powerful burst, and your energy field is actually lifting the table. But the manner in which most individuals generate success in concentrating their energy is generally to be concentrating upon the object, and in that, expressing the instruction for the table to tip. And as you concentrate, you will begin to view the table becoming more fluid.
It is similar to what you may do if you are engaging the action of staring at an object. What occurs in your vision when you stare at an object is you begin to view the object differently. You begin to view an energy field around it. It may be slight, but you will view an energy field surrounding the object. And the object itself begins to appear somewhat distorted when you stare at it, for your concentration is very fixed; and in that, it is very focused, and your energy connects with the object. It extends out from your body to the object. And that is what creates the visual effect that is somewhat distorted, for your energy is merging into the object.
You may not incorporate this type of detailed thinking in what you are doing. You are generally in a relaxed state, and that may create the situation in which you find yourself staring at some object. And in staring, generally speaking you are not incorporating much thought, if any, and therefore you are also not necessarily translating what you are doing. And therefore, you may not be clearly aware of all the actions that are occurring.
PAUL: What do you think is my potential, percentage-wise, to be successful in the next attempt?
ELIAS: That would depend upon you and how concentrated you are.
PAUL: (Laughs) Well, do you think it’s greater than 50%?
ELIAS: As I expressed, it would depend upon how concentrated you become in the action. I would also offer another suggestion, that you change your position. It may be easier, to begin with, to assume a position in which you are somewhat above the table. As an example, if you are incorporating a stool that you are attempting to tip, it may be easier if you are sitting within a chair. Therefore, your position is somewhat higher than the stool.
PAUL: Okay. I’ll try that.
Let’s talk about ancient Egypt’s spoken language. They used triliterals in the hieroglyphics, but did they use those, or that type of scheme or system, when they were speaking verbally?
ELIAS: (Pause) Yes.
PAUL: Hm. I don’t know what to ask you now. (Laughs) That’s puzzling. Is there any more you can say about that?
ELIAS: What is your curiosity?
PAUL: Oh, I don’t know. I just simply try to understand it, because one of the other questions I have is—in fact, I’ll get to it right now. I had a dream where I was laying down, and these two people were over me. One looked like the Pharaoh Akhenaten, and the other one looked like a consort of his. And I didn’t know it initially. I kept saying, “What country is this? What country is this?” and then they showed me either my wrist or their wrist, and on that wrist was a band with hieroglyphics on it. And when I woke up the next day I realized that was probably based on the look of the individual, that it was the Pharaoh Akhenaten and his consort. But I’m not sure what was going on in that dream.
ELIAS: This dream imagery would be more associated with interest, curiosity and your interest in puzzles. It was more general. It was not actually dream imagery concerning actual individuals but more in association with your curiosity of deciphering puzzles.
PAUL: Oh, so it was a connection with my OE focus of Akhenaten?
ELIAS: Not per se. It was more associated with surrounding concepts, not necessarily in association with any individual but more in association with their environment.
PAUL: What did the hieroglyphs on the band represent or mean?
ELIAS: That was another factor, being a representation of puzzle pieces—incorporating language, incorporating environment and what you would term to be lifestyle or culture and how that was actually expressed. This dream imagery was, as I have expressed, more general, not necessarily specific in relation to any particular imagery. It was more the imagery itself as being all puzzle pieces.
PAUL: Okay. I’ve got it. So, it’s just basically… There wasn’t a specific message in the hieroglyphics itself; it’s just more of a general openness to explore that reality?
ELIAS: Yes. (Pause)
PAUL: Was that a yes?
ELIAS: Yes.
PAUL: Okay.
When I defocus my vision when viewing letters, like on a book or a sheet or something like that, I can see images around the letters. What are they?
ELIAS: This is not unusual. Many, many, many individuals generate this type of experience. What is occurring is an action with your vision in association with processing information. This actually occurs somewhat frequently within your reality with individuals, for it is the manner in which you are processing information simultaneously with engaging reading, or perhaps not reading and merely looking at a page of words or letters. And in that, while you are simultaneously processing, it alters your vision. I can express to you that individuals have generated experiments in not quite understanding what is occurring with this expression of vision and attempting to stop that action from occurring by incorporating colored films above the pages of a book, so to speak, which creates the effect of the paper being a color, which in actuality many times does stop that action.
PAUL: You’re saying that it’s not necessarily… it’s okay, it’s preferred to allow it to happen?
ELIAS: I would express that it is a natural action and that it is not a malfunction and it is not harmful. Whether it is preferred or not, that would be associated with the individual. Some individuals generate an annoyance with this action, for it is distracting and interruptive at times.
PAUL: No, I was actually just trying to figure out if there was additional information in there that I was seeing, and as you continue focusing in that way to decipher what the additional images are.
ELIAS: I would express to you in response to that, yes and no. It IS additional information in respect to how you are processing and the associations that you are generating in relation to what you are reading. But as to other written information, it is not.
PAUL: Okay.
Describe the process of how we create new focuses of our essence.
ELIAS: (Pause) Through desire, motivated by wanting to expand your explorations.
PAUL: It’s as simple as that, huh?
ELIAS: Yes.
PAUL: How can I use… You know, in my meditation in dream state, my dream triggers are writing and water that can be used as a portal to different areas of consciousness. Could I use those in the waking state as a portal as well?
ELIAS: Yes.
PAUL: Okay. Now I’ve got to have you expand on that “yes.” So, if I am looking at a pool of water, I could either visualize or try to shift my association to allow that to trigger images or viewing of other areas of consciousness?
ELIAS: It is a matter of engaging a similar action as you would within your dream state, in allowing yourself to relax to a point in which you merge your energy into that water and generate a projection.
PAUL: So not a physical movement through that portal but more of a projection of energy through that portal?
ELIAS: Correct.
PAUL: Is that something that has a high potential for me to do in the future?
ELIAS: There is a potential that you could accomplish that.
PAUL: (Laughs) You’re staying away from the term “high.” (Laughs)
ELIAS: I am, for the reason that these types of questions, my friend, depend upon you and your choices and what you allow yourself.
PAUL: Hm. I’ve got it.
When I lost my sense of balance a few weeks back, was that imagery of my life not being in balance?
ELIAS: Somewhat, yes.
PAUL: What was the other somewhat piece to it?
ELIAS: Not being focused.
PAUL: Not being focused on my desires?
ELIAS: Not being focused consistently.
PAUL: You mean in the present moment, or on my desires?
ELIAS: Both.
PAUL: Hm. That’s interesting. (Chuckles)
Here’s one: Rather than reading letters [or] words, like in a book, can I really just instead focus on the energy of them and get the communication without having to actively read the book?
ELIAS: Yes.
PAUL: Is that something I could relatively easily do?
ELIAS: It would be an action that would require you to practice. Eventually, I would express that it would be an action that would be easy to engage, but initially, it may incorporate some concentration and effort to become familiar with the action and to allow yourself to do that, but yes.
PAUL: What about putting a book under my pillow at night with the intention of gaining the knowledge in that book just by sleeping on it?
ELIAS: I can express to you yes, this is possible. I can also express to you that in this time framework it is unlikely that you would allow yourself to generate that.
PAUL: Okay. (Laughs) Thanks. Okay, so I’ll skip that method but maybe try the focusing on picking up the energy of the book the other way, like meditating on it.
ELIAS: Yes. You may be more successful in that direction. For the other direction there would be a conflict, for you do not actually believe that you can do that.
PAUL: (Laughs) Well, I thought I did. (Laughs)
Here’s one for you regarding getting into grad school. Will sending my dimensional gradient paper in its present form be the most beneficial avenue to getting accepted into grad school this coming fall?
ELIAS: Alone?
PAUL: What do you mean, “alone”? You mean sending out the paper by itself?
ELIAS: Yes. I would suggest that you also include an intention, that you include an acknowledgment of your draw to the particular school and what your appreciation is in relation to that particular school, and what that school offers and how you perceive that can benefit you and how you perceive that you can benefit the school.
PAUL: Well, I kind of did that the other day when I sent out an email to two different universities, but when I spoke to one department head out in Seattle, he seemed pretty cool and aloof. I didn’t send him the dimensional gradient paper; I sent him a general email saying I thought I could be of interest, you know, with kind of like my intention. I did seem to get a little more interest in the school down in Florida, so I’m kind of thinking right now that it’s going to be one of those two schools that I’m looking at attending.
ELIAS: Very well. Yes, I would express the suggestion that you include the other, but that you also include your statement, so to speak, of what your appreciation is of the particular school.
PAUL: So send it to both schools then?
ELIAS: Yes.
PAUL: Is there one particular school that you think is more resonating with my energy than the other? Or are they both about the same?
ELIAS: I would express that they are equal.
PAUL: Okay. Hm.
ELIAS: Allow yourself to be flexible. Engage this action as a game, rather than the seriousness of the endeavor. And—
PAUL: Well, with that being said, you basically confirmed my thinking that I would take this Florida school because they seem to be more open to getting me in, not having to take this one test. But the drawback of that school is the fact they don’t have a doctoral program, just a masters, and so I’d probably have to go somewhere else to get my masters, and that’s where the flexibility comes into play.
ELIAS: Yes. And also, I would express to you: In this process, allow yourself to experience the process. You are generating the actions and you are incorporating the thinking—that is two of the three elements. But to generate successfully what you want intentionally, it is necessary to be incorporating all three elements: the thinking, the doing or the action, and the feeling or the experiencing, for that is what creates the projection of energy from you that will allow you to accomplish and be successful. The element that you are not engaging yet is that feeling, that experiencing, the knowing that you are already engaging it. Whether it is physically before you or not, it is removing the doubt and allowing yourself that confidence [in] which you generate the experience of engaging the school now rather than waiting.
PAUL: When you say engage the school, you mean talking with them about—
ELIAS: No. I am expressing within you, be experiencing it now. This is the element of knowing—allowing yourself now, in the present, to experience within you being engaged.
PAUL: Being there, enrolled in the school?
ELIAS: Yes. That—
PAUL: Visualizing?
ELIAS: Yes!
PAUL: I understand what you’re saying. One thing that’s kind of held me up a little bit is that I keep toggling back between two or three different schools as to which one would be my biggest preference.
ELIAS: And generating this action will be helpful to you in generating more clarity, for you can allow yourself to generate the experience of each school and you can decide which experience feels more flexible, which experience feels more in keeping with you and your direction, and also which experience is more comfortable.
PAUL: Okay. Let’s say I’ve not created any job offers. Is it probably my best alignment to just relocate to one of those schools instead of trying to wait for the job offer to shake out, if you will?
ELIAS: I would express, in association with your energy now, yes. For this is very influencing of why you are not drawing that employment to you, for your concentration is moving more in the direction of the school, and there is a resistance that you are generating in relation to the employment.
PAUL: That would make sense. I just wish I would (chuckles)… I wish I would get the clarity between the three schools—the Florida school, the Seattle school and the Dartmouth school. I keep seeing elements of those three or so that just haven’t reached clarity for me yet.
ELIAS: Generate this exercise in experiencing them.
PAUL: I will try that.
Here’s one for you: I was reading about this the other day. If the earth pulses every twelve days, what objective imagery can we see of this cycle?
ELIAS: In what capacity?
PAUL: A visual thing like, let’s say, a volcano erupting every twelve days—some type of action that could be visually seen. (Pause) Or something that would represent the movement of that cycle of twelve days.
ELIAS: There would be many actions that occur, but in different areas. And in that, it would be associated with the movement of the inner elements of the earth and how they move in cycles in relation to the surface. And in that, you would view certain actions that are occurring within the configuration of your planet, such as mountains growing or shrinking, which they are doing.
PAUL: Every twelve days?
ELIAS: Yes. Or alterations in tides, or alterations in plates.
PAUL: Yeah.
ELIAS: There are many, many, many actions that are occurring that yes, you can observe, but it may be somewhat… not difficult to observe, but difficult to connect them all, for they are not all occurring in the same areas every twelve days.
PAUL: But they are all on the same twelve-day cycle?
ELIAS: Yes.
PAUL: Okay.
What exercise can I do to best notice and manage my projection of energy?
ELIAS: (Pause) View your energy field. Practice seeing your energy field. For in visually seeing your energy field, you can see what your energy is doing. You can—
PAUL: Do you mean like viewing the aura? Like holding my hand up against the wall and then like viewing my energy around my hand?
ELIAS: Yes.
PAUL: So, practice seeing that.
ELIAS: Yes. For you can manipulate energy and your energy field, which is what creates what you draw to yourself, for that is the energy that you are projecting. And in that, you can generate more awareness of how your energy is actually being projected in the manner that it appears visually.
PAUL: When my energy is being projected, does it come out of a particular area of my body as it goes outward?
ELIAS: It surrounds the entirety of your body consciousness, and therefore it is being projected in every direction outwardly.
PAUL: Hm.
What’s a good technique for me to be able to modify my associations or make them more flexible, if I want to shift an object’s shape?
ELIAS: To alter your associations, you can practice viewing an object and generating a new association with it, such as viewing a book and allowing yourself to see the book as a box.
PAUL: As a box?
ELIAS: Yes. That it may continue to generate the general shape, but you are altering your association with the book and expressing to yourself, “This object APPEARS to be a book, but if there are no absolutes, I can create this book to be a box.”
PAUL: And so then I’ll begin to see its shape change to that more of a box?
ELIAS: Yes. But it is a matter of practicing generating the association, “This is a box.”
PAUL: So viewing the book as a box.
ELIAS: Yes.
PAUL: That specific book? Or ALL books?
ELIAS: I would suggest that you begin with one. That may be somewhat easier.
PAUL: All right.
I had a dream of a chat with President John Kennedy. We were having a good conversation until he said something that I didn’t understand. It made no sense to me, and I asked him to repeat it a couple of times, which he did. But it seemed like he ended with the last name Erskine, which is actually someone that was in his administration. Was that telling me who one of my past focuses is that dealt with him?
ELIAS: Yes.
PAUL: Oh! So, that was one of my past focuses that dealt with John F. Kennedy. Is that also the one that sent a letter to one of my probable selves?
ELIAS: Yes.
PAUL: And is it also true that I’m creating a similar action for me?
ELIAS: In what capacity?
PAUL: Receiving a letter as well.
ELIAS: From that focus?
PAUL: Yes.
ELIAS: Not from that focus, but yes, generating a potential of receiving one from a future focus.
PAUL: Wait a minute! (Laughs) Okay, can you expand on that at all?
ELIAS: It is imagery, my friend.
PAUL: Can you expand on who the future focus is that is sending me correspondence?
ELIAS: The individual incorporates the name of Rita and is generating the action of creating a correspondence with you through your computer.
PAUL: How do you spell Rita? R-I-T-A?
ELIAS: Yes.
PAUL: So I should look for emails that look like they come from Rita? (Pause) Was that a yes?
ELIAS: It would be somewhat unusual in appearance initially. And yes, it would be incorporating that name.
PAUL: When you say unusual in appearance, would there be an image? Or just in how the writing appears?
ELIAS: In how the writing appears and in the wording.
PAUL: I’d recognize it because the name on the address would be Rita? (Pause) Was that a yes?
ELIAS: One moment.
PAUL: Oh. (Pause)
ELIAS: I will express to you, that is a possibility, for there are several possibilities that are being experimented with.
PAUL: By her?
ELIAS: Yes—in moving in the direction of manipulating energy in relation to time and in relation to configuring it with equipment that you incorporate NOW that she does not incorporate. Therefore, it is an experimentation. In that, yes, there is one possibility in which you would receive it and identify it with her name. There is another possibility that you would receive it and her name would not necessarily appear as the address but would be contained in the body of the communication. And in that, the configuration of words would appear unusual—or as the subject, the configuration of words would appear unusual.
PAUL: Let me ask you this. What timeframe is she communicating from? And what is her main purpose?
ELIAS: Time framework: 24th century, and the objective is the experiment.
PAUL: Is she more of a scientist type?
ELIAS: Yes. And it is an experiment to project energy in a manner that can connect in the past with the configuration of equipment that you incorporate now for communication that she does not incorporate then.
PAUL: Did she already send me an email communication?
ELIAS: One moment. (Pause) Yes, several unsuccessful.
PAUL: Do you mean the fact that I just deleted them as junk mail?
ELIAS: One. But several others were unsuccessful in connecting.
PAUL: Do you mean getting into my reality?
ELIAS: Correct. She has incorporated one partial success, but you did not connect with it.
PAUL: Hm. Now if I were to reply to this email, will that get to her?
ELIAS: That would be the experiment, and in her calculations it should.
PAUL: (Laughs) Well, I wish you could tell me when the next one is due to arrive. (Both laugh)
Some real quick dream questions here: I had a dream back on the 9th of April, and I met these two blue owls that were hooting at me. Were you one of the blue owls?
ELIAS: Yes.
PAUL: And you were just offering playful energy, right?
ELIAS: Yes, you are correct. (Chuckles) A reminder.
PAUL: If Seattle is one of the places that was supposed to be well resonating with my energy, why did I have a dream a while back about a bad real estate deal for me in Seattle—which is one of the places I’m looking at going?
ELIAS: This is more associated with your doubts and your confusion. Rather than being more associated with not resonating with the area, it is more associated with you being at times somewhat apprehensive in what you shall do and where you shall be and generating somewhat of a battle within yourself of what you should be doing and what you WANT to be doing.
PAUL: Right. So the key is in being flexible, don’t sweat it so much, just feel confident in making an assessment and going forward with that choice and realizing that I can always shift gears later if I so choose.
ELIAS: Correct. Precisely.
PAUL: I will try to keep that in mind when I’m making these decisions that I view to be so large. (Both laugh) If I send out my dimensional gradient, is there any concern I would have about somebody trying to copy that information and use it for their own purposes?
ELIAS: Obviously you incorporate SOME element of that, or you would not pose the question to myself.
PAUL: True. (Laughs)
ELIAS: I would express to you, it is unnecessary, and—
PAUL: I know. I know. Sometimes I ask questions that I think I know the answers to already.
ELIAS: THAT is not unusual.
PAUL: By the way, I think you’re a great character. (Both laugh)
I had a dream a while back about seeing these, like, nameplates with pictures on them of a few German soldiers and where they’re going to be stationed. Was that showing me the pictures and the names of some of my past focuses? Or were they just pictures of colleagues I was with?
ELIAS: The latter would be more accurate.
PAUL: Oh, they were colleagues I was with then, right?
ELIAS: Yes.
PAUL: Okay.
Okay. Is there closing pearls of wisdom you’d like to share?
ELIAS: (Chuckles) Other than playing with energy? (Chuckles) I would express that you genuinely engage this action of viewing your energy field. And you can play with that in other manners, in allowing yourself to see the energy fields of other individuals.
PAUL: Now, when you say this, to view it, because normally when I see my hand I always see the energy about a few inches away from the edge of like my fingers, but you’re saying that the energy can extend much farther out—
ELIAS: Yes.
PAUL: — very frequently?
ELIAS: Yes. Yes. And in that, it is merely a matter of practicing and allowing yourself to focus upon that energy field for somewhat of a more extended time framework and watch it expand. It will, and it will incorporate colors. They will be continuously in motion, and they will change, for depending upon your energy and how it is being expressed, whatever you are expressing will generate one predominant color. And the other colors will all be included, but one color generally in any time framework is more dominant than the others. In this, —
PAUL: So that’s a way for me to start to practicing, is to look at… like when I put my hand up against the wall and I’m looking at the energy around my fingers, that’s a good way for me to start?
ELIAS: Yes.
PAUL: Helpful? Okay.
ELIAS: But also expand that as you begin and generate that action with both of your hands, very close together but not touching. And as you begin to view the energy field, allow yourself to very slowly pull your hands apart from each other, which will allow you to view the energy strand between them. It will remain connected, and in that, it allows you to expand your visual of your energy as it extends between your fingers as you pull them apart, and that will be helpful in encouraging you to allow yourself to view that energy around the entirety of your body, not merely your hand.
PAUL: So I hold my hands together as like the fingers are pointing at each other?
ELIAS: Yes.
PAUL: But not touching?
ELIAS: Correct.
PAUL: Okay.
Okey dokey. (Elias laughs) We’d best go. I see that our time is up.
ELIAS: Very well.
PAUL: Once again, I’ll try to maintain my openness for receiving energy any time it’s offered.
ELIAS: Very well. And I shall be offering. (Laughs)
PAUL: I appreciate that, Elias.
ELIAS: To you my dear friend, in great lovingness and tremendous appreciation, au revoir.
PAUL: Au revoir. Bye.
(Elias departs after 1 hour 8 minutes)
