Participants: Mary (Michael) and Terri (Uliva)
ELIAS: Good afternoon.
TERRI: Good afternoon.
So I'm doing more, doing. (Both laugh) And I wanted to check in on my relaxation. I feel more relaxed.
ELIAS: I would agree.
TERRI: And my vision still seems to be improving. I was wondering if I was maybe holding on to this last bit of it as a reminder to relax.
ELIAS: Yes.
TERRI: But I keep, you know, trying to just be… just being satisfied with where it's at. And it keeps getting a little bit better. (Inaudible) again or maybe I'm just holding on to it to remind myself to keep relaxing. (Laughs)
ELIAS: Which is an effective method.
TERRI: Right, exactly. And my birthday was Saturday.
ELIAS: Congratulations.
TERRI: Thank you. And I came home at one thirty in the morning. So my door is being all torn up and my dog was trying to get out because he was so sick. So the house was in a complete mess. And I was trying to figure out what I was doing and the only thing I could come up with was that was reflection of feeling trapped and out of control.
ELIAS: I would agree.
TERRI: Was it like a container blowing up? Because I thought that it was probably, like, feeling trapped at work. But I thought I was doing good with that. Because I've been creating a lot of sales and I've been concentrating on pretending I'm the only agent and being playful. So was there like another undercurrent of feeling trapped that I wasn't aware of and that's how it came out?
ELIAS: (Pause) I would express that it is not necessarily a specific, such as your employment, but more of a general association that in your movement, in what you are doing, a general association that can be translated, somewhat, as being trapped or not entirely in control in relation to how you perceive your movement to not generally be being expressed fast enough, or that you are not accomplishing quickly enough, or that what you want is not being manifest quickly enough. And therefore, that creates a feeling of hindrance or restriction; that you're not generating as quickly as you want to.
TERRI: So is it trying to tell me that… Because I thought, you know, I thought I was doing really well. Creating a lot more sales and… Is it trying to tell me that I'm still covering in some aspect?
ELIAS: Not necessarily, no. It is, as I expressed, a more general association. There are many different directions that you want to accomplish that you do not necessarily view that you are actually accomplishing YET. In some directions you are acknowledging yourself that you are accomplishing now. But there are other directions that you continue to generate the association that you are not necessarily accomplishing yet. That you WILL, but not perhaps now.
TERRI: Right.
ELIAS: And in that, it creates a general association that your movement is not being expressed quickly enough in association with what you want. You want to generate many different expressions, but you also want them now.
TERRI: (Laughs) Yes. Yes, I do.
ELIAS: And therefore, if you generate any association of ANY of your want, that you want now that you may not perceive yourself to have now or yet, that creates that general association that you may not be expressing entirely in control. And that it creates a type of feeling of being trapped in association with not perceiving yourself to be able to create what you want, immediately, now.
TERRI: Well the first thing that comes to mind when you say that, is losing weight. But I'm still concentrating on feeling satisfied with where I am and as long as my pants button, that's great. And playing with some new toys, but trying to keep the importance off. I'm just focusing on the playing with the toys to lose weight. And I guess, I mean, that's what I think the biggest part of it is. Because, you know, I'm like “I'm doing all the right things, why isn't it happening?” (Laughs) You know, trying to keep the importance off of it, but then it creeps up every now and then. So I think I have a handle on how to take the importance off, but is it the case that it's just so inconsistent still, why I'm not losing weight? Or… I mean it's just a little bit, it's just a little more to go. (Laughs)
ELIAS: (Chuckles) I will express to you, this is not unusual, in whatever expression you, in similar manner to many individuals, are engaging. The subject itself is not necessarily what is important. Although I am recognising the importance of each subject. But what occurs is individuals, such as yourself, accomplish to a point and you incorporate the perception that is precisely what you expressed, “I merely incorporate a slight or a little bit further to move.” But that little bit further becomes the most difficult.
TERRI: Right, because that's what we give the most importance to. When you think you have a long way to go—
ELIAS: You are more patient with yourself.
TERRI: (inaudible) the journey.
ELIAS: Yes.
TERRI: But I thought I was doing that, just trying to be satisfied and being able to get into the pants that I have now, and…
ELIAS: But you're not GENUINELY satisfied.
TERRI: So how can I get genuinely satisfied? So that's kind of what I want to talk about this time. The last session, the girl brought up a great point. How can you be satisfied with something that you're not? And you said, “It's not a matter of liking it, it's a matter of taking importance off of it.”
ELIAS: Correct.
TERRI: So I've been trying to do that. I'd like to say I've been doing that. (Laughs) But you know, when it's not happening, it seems like well, maybe I'm just trying and I… Yeah, you know, I mean it's all practicing, right?
ELIAS: Yes.
TERRI: It's all moving in that direction with what the whole perception wave is about.
ELIAS: Yes. You are quite correct. It is very similar to what we discussed in our previous conversation in relation to the money.
TERRI: Mm-hmm.
ELIAS: In recognising: yes, this is a manifestation that you want; and yes, it is correct that you do not like this situation that this individual is not offering this money to you in repayment of your loan, but also recognising that you did not believe that that would occur. You knew you did not believe that would occur. But you continue to deny that and override that with: being angry and frustrated with the other individual, being distressed with yourself, and judging yourself for being foolish in generating the choice to loan the money. And in that, you were overriding what was actually occurring. You continued to focus your attention in a direction that would not allow you to accomplish. You continued to focus your attention in the direction of “This is my reality, I can create it in the manner that I want and I should incorporate the ability to create this individual repaying me.”
TERRI: So you're saying that I don't believe that I can lose the last ten pounds or whatever?
ELIAS: It is not that you do not believe that you can accomplish that. That is not the point. The point is recognising where you are directing your attention. Just as you were expressing in that situation, directing your attention in a manner that prevented you from creating what you want, and in generating the attention in the direction that you were in that situation, you were also preventing yourself from actually seeing—
TERRI: So where should I direct it?
ELIAS: —what you were actually doing and the associations that you were actually generating. Such as the association of discounting yourself and being distressed with yourself, that you had engaged that choice to begin with.
TERRI: Well I must have lessened some of that because I haven't heard from him since.
ELIAS: I would agree that you have been accomplishing in that direction, but this is a very similar action. It is not in THIS situation that you do not believe that you can accomplish, but you are moving in the direction of focusing your attention in a manner that does not allow you to see what association you are generating, which is very similar to the other situation, in which you generate the association, not necessarily that it was foolish, but that it was unacceptable to you and that it is you finding fault with yourself, that you have incorporated weight, again, and that you are, AGAIN, in the position of addressing to it. That this is a situation that you have created previously. And therefore, you are faulting yourself with generating choices that put you in a position in which you feel you must be addressing to this subject again.
TERRI: I could see that. Because if I try to do this, I don't wanna do this again. So how can I… I just really don't feel like I've done anything except really paid attention to what you said last time about the situation with Sean, and it's kind of just dissipated on its own. So it's almost like, you know, just hearing you say it is enough to take my attention away from it. Because I've really been… I thought I was really doing a good job of focusing on how sexy I am and, you know, acknowledging that I am fitting into the clothes that I wanted to fit into.
ELIAS: And that is very empowering. But that is the point. This particular example can be very instructive to you. It can be very informative to you. For this is an example that can be applied in any situation. Within the movement of your existence, as with every other individual within your reality, you will always present to yourself repeated subjects. And those repeated subjects will be associated with your guideline. And the reason that you do this is not to be DONE with the subject. It is the process of accepting your guideline, which is a belief. Not that you are done with it. Not that it is gone. But each time you present a subject to yourself that is a repeat, you are offering yourself new information. Therefore you are not addressing it in the same manner that you did previously. Each time you are addressing it differently. Each time you are offering yourself more information. You are becoming more clear. You incorporate greater understanding, more familiarity.
And in all of that, it allows you to continue that process of acceptance. Remember, acceptance is not an action that is DONE either. It is not a matter of “I am accepting, and therefore it is done. It is not necessary for me to continue to be accepting, for I have done it.” It is not—
TERRI: (inaudible)
ELIAS: Yes.
TERRI: Is that what the owl was trying to tell me? Was that the message from the owl swooping down in front of my car, was kind of a message like that, along the lines of what you just said? Did you look big. (Both laugh)
ELIAS: And in your terms, this is a very big subject.
TERRI: Right. Well, as well as money. And I feel like I've made a lot of progress there too, and that's an ongoing moment by moment challenge. You know, dealing with Michelle and really focusing on, “Okay, what's my feeling? What's it associated with?” I've been really working on trying to pay attention to the subtle feelings that we just take for granted. Because they just brush right by you, if you don't really pay attention to them.
ELIAS: I'm acknowledging of you.
TERRI: And you have a few days when you sell a lot of cars, and it's just it amazes me how quickly it creeps back in, “Well, maybe that was just a fluke.” Or, “Maybe it won't happen again.” So I've been really trying to… I guess I wanted to spend a couple of minutes on what you said of “it's a matter of creating a perception that you HAVE.” And, you know, it's a different feeling. It's like if you can get yourself into the mindset of you watching this as a movie that you've already seen the end, and you don't need to know what you have, you don't need to know the specifics, you just need that feeling. And that feeling comes over me, now and again, so I know what it feels like. It was just a knowing that I AM successful.
ELIAS: Yes.
TERRI: I guess you just get caught up in this thing of: “You need to accomplish something.” Or, “you need to do a step to make this happen.” I guess because we're so attached to processes.
ELIAS: Yes.
TERRI: Is that part of it?
ELIAS: Yes. And in that, it is valid, but it is also important to counter the familiar perception of, “You do not have yet.”
TERRI: Do you think that I do that more often than not?
ELIAS: I would express, in your energy, you are becoming much more aware and you ARE generating more and more of an association of “I have.” And you are noticing the moments in which that may slip into “not yet.”
TERRI: Mm-hmm.
ELIAS: You ARE paying attention and I am acknowledging of you. And you are correct, it is a matter of practicing. For it is very familiar to move in the automatic association of “have not” or “not yet”.
TERRI: Do you have another little exercise or game that will help me. They seem to help a lot. I practiced the one when I got the D-N-D stuff back, yet again. Where you said, just laugh. And I laughed and I was like okay, I'm done with this dead mouse. (Elias laughs) Because when I realised why I generated that, it was kind of showing me the black and white of when your leprechaun is sending out this energy, you create this over and over. And when you're setting up the energy of work, to playing and that you already have sold cars, how many you can sell… I realised why I was doing that, to kind of show me the drastic difference between the two.
ELIAS: Correct.
TERRI: But do you have another, or is there any other exercise or a little game I can play to help me stay in that, or, you know, grasp it better?
ELIAS: Reminding yourself that you are not engaging a race may be helpful. And in that, when you become impatient and you notice that you are moving into that expression of “I want this now”, you can place yourself, figuratively speaking, in your race. And in that race, feel how exhausting it is to be continuing and continuing and continuing to run in this race in which there is no finish line.
And you can even run in place to demonstrate to yourself a physical reminder, but in a fun manner. For running in place, reminding yourself that you are not in a race, may actually be somewhat amusing. (Both laugh)
TERRI: I do like to win the race.
Regarding work, I guess I don't wanna put a number on it and I guess we get that feeling from conversations we've had before that if I were to say I'm gonna sell… I already have sold twenty cars this month. I think I remember somewhere where that kind of takes away from, or it starts pushing our energy to reach a specific goal. So then I get confused as to, “Okay then, what should I focus on?” (laughs)
ELIAS: You have already set your intention. Your intention is that you want to sell enough vehicles for you to feel comfortable, financially.
TERRI: Right.
ELIAS: That is the intention. Therefore, it is not necessary to focus upon a number, or those types of specifics. The intention is already set. Therefore it becomes a matter of engaging the process. And the process is a matter of playing your game and being consistent in engaging your game, allowing you to generate a playful energy, and one that is engaging of other individuals.
TERRI: Okay, as in game, I've been trying to play with in the morning and asking them “Okay, which one of you wants to go home today?” Is that a game?
ELIAS: Yes.
TERRI: Kind of like that?
ELIAS: Yes. That would be.
TERRI: Okay. And then I guess I wanted to ask, you said — [on] the tape that I listened to from the leprechaun session — “trusting is not having doubt, and that I understand most of you don't get that.” I feel like I get it more now that — not only intellectually — that I feel like I'm leaning into practice more now. Would you agree with that?
ELIAS: I would agree.
TERRI: Because it feels like I am. But sometimes I fool myself. (Both laugh)
ELIAS: I have expressed to you previously: you know more and are aware of more than you think you are. And in that, it is not a matter of questioning whether you are fooling yourself, but allowing yourself to recognise that you actually DO know and ARE aware.
TERRI: And trusting that I am.
ELIAS: Yes.
TERRI: I'm trying to get into the feeling of… Like if I start to doubt something again, “Oh, I've already done that.” And it kind of changes the energy. It's like, “Oh, I've already accomplished that. I don't even need to worry about that.”
ELIAS: That is also an excellent exercise: to remind yourself of what you have accomplished. For, when you have not generated an experience yet, it can be very easy to doubt yourself whether you actually incorporate the ability to accomplish a particular experience. But if you have already generated an experience, and have accomplished, you already know that you can.
TERRI: Which makes it much easier.
ELIAS: Yes. Therefore it is merely a matter of drawing upon that confidence that you already did accomplish.
TERRI: And I get that too. There was something hit me one night. I was like, “Oh, another part of this job is reminding me of the confidence that I have in myself.” I was doing, like, all the other different things that popped up. And it's like, “Oh, I can do that, no problem. I can do that.” And so it's kind of that this job's been kind of an exercise of reminding me of that confidence and kind of re-establishing it, I think.
ELIAS: I would agree. And also you have been moving more in the direction of crediting yourself.
TERRI: It was like I forgot.
ELIAS: Rather than struggling with yourself and questioning yourself — “Why am I not creating?” or “Why am I creating this?” — you have been expressing MUCH more recently, “I did this. I created this. It is my credit.”
TERRI: And I was with Mark, when he was answering the phone, “Junk cars” I noticed that I started buying into that and creating more of my vehicles that I was selling falling apart. And even though, you know, I told him, “You've got to stop answering the phone ‘Junk cars’”. Does that… Because it seems to me his energy kind of goes out into everything we're doing too. Like we're in that ripple of his energy. And he's saying that every time.
ELIAS: And that would be your choice—
TERRI: Yeah.
ELIAS: —of whether you allow that or not.
TERRI: Because, you know, it still seems like a lot of my cars are having a lot of things wrong with them. So, I'm buying into something there that they're… One of the associations is that it's a used car and, you know, everything's not gonna be perfect with it. But that can also be okay. Because I have plenty of customers… It's like I bounce back and forth, you know, and I start to spook again. But I always fix it. And the ones with these last couple of days, that I thought was interesting, with Michelle selling that other truck on top of mine. And I was just kind of observing, when we were all three in the room together. And I was paying attention to my energy. It's like, it doesn't matter what's said here, I can still make my deal okay.
ELIAS: Yes.
TERRI: Right.
ELIAS: You're quite correct. And this is an opportunity for you also to practice with recognising what other individuals create and how they may be manipulating their energy, but that that is not necessarily going to affect yours.
TERRI: Right, just stay strong in what I want.
ELIAS: Yes. It is a matter—
TERRI: Because like yesterday. It's like I just want this deal to come to fruition. And I tried not to attach to which vehicle or making her give up hers so my people can have that. I just concentrated on: I want this deal to come to fruition. And they called back today and they're bringing a check.
But I can feel the difference now of the pushing and forcing. Before I would have gone in that direction of trying to make her client get off of my truck because she took it from me. And that you can really feel the difference in the energy of the pushing and the forcing.
ELIAS: Yes.
TERRI: So that's kind of cool. (Laughs)
ELIAS: I would agree.
TERRI: And then what was the deal with the the bookkeeper? I think part of it was so I could see my belief is that I feel that a lot of other people are incompetent. (Laughs) And I can have that belief, but I think it was kind of to point out to me that I can realise that's MY perception.
ELIAS: Yes.
TERRI: That in THEIR world that's not necessarily true of them.
ELIAS: Correct.
TERRI: But I can still have that.
ELIAS: Yes.
TERRI: So I think I got away from that for a while. I was listening to the tape and it was like, you can dislike it. I think I forgot that for a while.
ELIAS: Correct. And you incorporate your own opinions and your own preferences in association with your guideline.
TERRI: Right.
ELIAS: And that is acceptable. It is a matter of moving into an understanding that although that is right and correct for YOU, it is a matter of YOUR perception and YOUR guidelines. Which would guide you in the direction that you would not engage the same actions as another individual would. Or you would not engage the same choices as another individual would, for they would not be comfortable for YOU. But that is not to say that the manner in which another individual is expressing is wrong.
TERRI: Right. And you can kind of see how we were coming there. How everybody was creating their own reality around that situation, and all the different things that they were observing from it or learning from it or how they reacted to it. And it was… You could feel like the shift or the wave, whatever, where everybody would get on the bandwagon against her. And then if Mark said, “Oh, I think she's starting to get it,” people would start to come back and say, “Well, maybe she will work out.” And then the tide would turn the other way again. You could kind of see the energy moving through. It's such an intense place to begin with. (Laughs)
ELIAS: Which is also an interesting observation that you have engaged. For in that, you can offer yourself the clearer understanding of suggestibility. You can see how suggestible all of you are. And in that, it can remind you, not that suggestibility is necessarily bad, but that it can be influencing in manners that can distract you from you.
TERRI: Right.
ELIAS: And it can also create obstacles at times. For in that allowance of the suggestibility, in not necessarily being aware of it occurring, it is distracting from what YOU actually want to do, or what is important to you. For the subject of the suggestion becomes important, rather than what is actually important to you, such as with this individual. What the individual is doing may not necessarily be important to you. There may be other expressions that are MORE important to you in relation to what YOU are doing, but it BECOMES important to you in allowing that suggestibility of another individual. Which occurs very often with individuals.
TERRI: Well, like at dinner the other night with… When they were talking about the (inaudible) in the morning. And then once ~Prima said, “Well, yeah, we should go over there because we've all formed a bond.” and everybody was like, “Yeah, we have.” So they, like, all decided to buy into this, and it all became very important all of a sudden, like it was a relative that they needed to take care of. And so that one comment kind of moved the whole group. (Laughs)
ELIAS: Yes. And this occurs very often in many, many, many different types of expressions. One individual expresses one opinion, and the other individuals surrounding that individual, in not being aware of themselves, in not paying attention to themselves, will receive that opinion as the suggestion and will move with it.
In association with your subject, such as weight, this is how diets become popular. One individual expresses one opinion of a method that they prefer and in projecting that without doubt, it plants the suggestion with many other individuals. And without any evaluation, for they are not paying attention to themself and their own direction, they accept the suggestion and they move in that direction. This is also the manner in which wars are created.
TERRI: Oh, yeah. And I thought it was interesting that nobody was really paying attention to me Friday night or Saturday night. It was almost like I was outside observing. And it dawned on me, when I called the one girl's the dog's name, I was like, well that makes sense. They're not vested in me because I'm not vested in them. I'm just observing their culture and the experience. And so they were reflecting that back to me. And that was okay, because I just wanted to kind of observe it. I mean I knew it was nothing I wanted to… It's not a community I want to become a part of. So I was just there as kind of an observing capacity. And that's what they reflected back, right?
ELIAS: Yes.
TERRI: So that was interesting. (Laughs)
ELIAS: But observation can also offer you valuable information. Especially in association with differences.
TERRI: Right. Because there were a lot of those there. (Both laugh) And a lot of drama. That's for sure.
Frank, I think it was Frank, had said something about me being Molly Molloy. Was he picking up on another focus of mine?
ELIAS: Yes.
TERRI: Yeah. Is that a current?
ELIAS: No.
TERRI: Past?
ELIAS: Yes.
TERRI: And then I wanted to ask about a couple of dreams. I had a dream that just terrified me. It was actually in the morning where I heard somebody outside and I was eating dinner and I looked out the window and there was a (inaudible) leaning up against my fence, or the deck (inaudible). But nobody was there. So we went out the back mudroom and it was completely pitch black. But a kid was sitting on the bench and they started throwing rocks at me. So I put up the plate to shield me and then I woke up and I looked at the clock and it was nine. I looked at the window and it was light and I got very confused and, like, “well, it can't be see this bright at nine o'clock at night.” And then I realised it was Sunday morning. So I was wondering what all that was about.
ELIAS: And your impression?
TERRI: Well, the only thing that really comes to mind is that, you know, I don't lock my doors because I feel safe there. But my neighbour has made comments lately that I should lock my doors or something. And maybe it was like an underlying thing that I don't feel as safe as I pretend to feel there, or something?
ELIAS: Not necessarily. This is another example of suggestibility and what it can do. Remembering that this quality is not necessarily bad.
TERRI: Right.
ELIAS: But it is significant that you pay attention to what you present to yourself. And in that, the presentment of a neighbour expressing that you SHOULD lock your door, may merely be a presentment that you have offered to yourself to emphasize your preference. And to recognise when another individual is presenting a suggestion and whether you choose to accept that or not.
TERRI: Right. Was that tied into Zeus barking in the middle of the night when I accidentally locked him out? That was an interesting situation too. He was barking at the neighbour's tree, at the raccoons. And you have to ask… You were laying there going, “Okay, we don't know what that is, but we're not gonna go check it out.” Was that kind of related, in the same, like another instance of “do you feel safe or not?”
ELIAS: Yes.
TERRI: Yeah, that was interesting. Especially when she let him back in and I didn't know she was there and he came running down the hall and I really got scared. (Laughs)
ELIAS: But in this, it is also an example of how easily you question what you know. That you DO feel safe, and that is what you KNOW and what you are aware of, but how easily you will question that.
TERRI: Right. How little it takes.
ELIAS: Correct. Which is an excellent point. For you do this frequently, in which you are expressing a confidence in a particular direction and subject, but you easily question that.
TERRI: Mm-hmm.
ELIAS: Regardless that you KNOW, you question. Therefore, I'm quite certain that you will present more imagery to yourself in relation to this subject, and when you do, you can allow yourself your initial reaction, and you can laugh at that reaction. As, “Ah, this is another example of my ghost of questions.” (pause) Not to be judging, not to view it as bad, but to humorously view it as your ghost of questioning.
TERRI: Okay.
Sometimes I wonder, after we meet if I've asked the right questions or but then I come back to… Because I've stopped making a list of everything and I'm trusting myself more that I'll bring up the things that I wanna bring up that are, at this time, to move me to the next step. So, I do that, right? (laughs)
ELIAS: Yes. Once again, questioning.
TERRI: Is there… You know it goes a long way just to hear you; just to have you reaffirm it. And then I can just let it go and—
ELIAS: I am understanding and I will express to you it is not a matter of the RIGHT questions. It is a matter of allowing yourself an openness to engage and to share and in that allowing yourself to address to what is important to you in the moment.
TERRI: Right.
ELIAS: For in that, there is volumes of information.
TERRI: You know, I remind myself of that. That there's so much information just in this one moment, that we don't need to pay attention of what's coming next, or where we've been. Because there's so much right here. (Laughs)
ELIAS: Quite so.
TERRI: Are there any other, like, hard focuses or other focuses. Like I picked up on Stella, but are there are there any other ones lingering around that might be beneficial to me at this time, that I could try to tap into? or…
ELIAS: I would encourage you to merely allow and you will present to yourself. If that is what you want to engage, you will present it, if you merely allow.
TERRI: I drew a picture a long time ago of a girl and she had a hat on. And I still remember it, and I remember coming up across it later and I'm like, “I drew that?” And I couldn't believe I drew that. So that was… It kind of makes me think it was THAT focus. Like kind of that energy helping me draw that picture.
ELIAS: Yes.
TERRI: And that's why I didn't remember it as clearly. But that wasn't Stella?
ELIAS: No.
TERRI: Maybe Molly?
ELIAS: Yes.
TERRI: Hmm. Interesting. (Both laugh) I always feel like there's so much to figure out right here. I don't… You know some people, the transcripts you read, they focus so much on these other lives. It's like, “Wow, you've got all this figured out here, that you can go do that?” (Both laugh) That seems like extracurricular activities, huh?
But I feel a lot lighter in this session.
ELIAS: I would agree.
TERRI: Yeah. So that's cool.
So let's see. So we have a couple of minutes left. Anything that we haven't touched on that you want to remind me of? or…
ELIAS: (Chuckles) I would express that you incorporate enough information to be pondering, as you do so well.
TERRI: I love to ponder. (Both laugh) I've been trying not to overthink. I've been trying to put more concentration on the feeling and the association, when thinking it to death.
ELIAS: Very well.
TERRI: And it gives me a different feeling.
ELIAS: Yes.
TERRI: Is there any reason why I can't see the auras, like other people? I try to defocus, and, you know, not put importance of it on, and just let go. But I can't seem to. Like Mary says, “Oh, it's so easy. Anybody can do it. There's colors everywhere!” (Elias laughs) I can't see a thing.
ELIAS: It is merely a matter of somewhat fixing your sight in a type of stare, but not directly at the subject.
TERRI: Like off to the side a little bit.
ELIAS: Yes.
TERRI: I thought I was doing that and I could feel like it was… I wasn't like staring at, even, the thing. I was defocusing. I know how to do that because there's pictures you had to do that for.
ELIAS: Yes—
TERRI: But I still can't seem to pick anything up.
ELIAS: —similar to that. Or similar to a stare. For you focus your eyes and your vision differently when you stare. And when you stare, you also are not thinking. You are disengaged with thought processes. You are merely blank. And therefore, this action is a similar action to that.
I would encourage you to begin with manifestations that are stationary, such as one of your creatures when they're sleeping. Therefore they are still. And if there is no movement it is easier to allow yourself to capture that sight of the glow.
TERRI: Right. I'll try that.
Was your energy, like a fleck of your energy, in the girl the other night with the really blue eyes.
ELIAS: A superimposing.
TERRI: Superimposing. So you were like over her?
ELIAS: In a manner of speaking.
TERRI: Yeah, it was an incredible blue. And she's… The weird… You always say the weirdest thing, but, “It has got to be Elias.” (Both laugh)
And everybody was like, “What?”
ELIAS: I engage that action quite frequently—
TERRI: Yeah?
ELIAS: —in actuality, for it is quite easy. It does not require expensive energy. And it is not an actual apparition. It is merely incorporating a slight mergence with an individual, momentarily.
TERRI: Right. Yeah. That was cool. (Both chuckle) Okay, I think that's the end of our time.
ELIAS: Very well.
TERRI: It's mostly been I felt very relaxed today. And I thought we had a nice conversation, too. Instead of me being all freaked out.
ELIAS: I agree. And I will express to you, happy emergence day.
TERRI: Thank you.
ELIAS: I shall be anticipating our next meeting, my dear friend.
TERRI: Thank you.
ELIAS: To you in great appreciation, and in dear lovingness. Au revoir.
TERRI: Au revoir.
(Elias departs after 58 minutes)
