“The Belief System of Responsibility”
Wednesday, January 13, 1999 © 1999 (Private/Phone)
Participants: Mary (Michael) and Kristin (Martin).
Vic’s note: I first met Kristin in New Haven, Connecticut
in ‘96. We met up again in Elmira, NY in ‘97, in room 106.
Hi, Kristin!
Elias arrives at 11:15 AM. (Arrival time is 16 seconds)
ELIAS: Good morning, Martin!
KRISTIN: Good morning!
ELIAS: We meet again! (Smiling)
KRISTIN: Okay ... I’m having a little bit of trouble hearing you,
but I think I’ll be okay.
ELIAS: And you have inquiries this morning?
KRISTIN: Yes, I do. I first want to say ... I mean, I guess
you will, but please be brutally honest with me this morning.
ELIAS: Ah! (Grinning) Brutally honest! Very well!
KRISTIN: Okay! The main reason
I’m doing this right now is because I feel that I’m at an impasse in my
life. I have some excellent opportunities in front of me. I
have an opportunity to stay in the United States and teach and build a
good career here, or I have the opportunity to go to Europe and be with
my boyfriend Frederick and hope to do something productive there.
I know that you can’t make the decision for me, but I’m hoping to get some
insight on all this. I know I have belief systems getting in my way,
things like that. Can you give me some insight on this?
ELIAS: Very well. Addressing to this situation, you are
dealing with mass belief systems that concern the appearance of being responsible
and productive within your society.
KRISTIN: Yes, exactly.
ELIAS: In this, the reason that you experience what you may term
to be this tug of war, so to speak, is that you influence yourself by aligning
with the mass belief system that you SHOULD be creating a productive, responsible
contribution to yourself and your society, and in this, the choice would
be to be remaining in the location that you are presently and engaging
your career, in a manner of speaking.
Now; in moving outside of the mass belief system and allowing yourself
to venture into the unfamiliar, and also into a wider awareness by opening
to your periphery, you may choose to be removing yourself from this situation
and physically moving your location to this other area of which you speak.
In this, what you are presenting yourself with is not merely the movement
outside of the mass belief system, but you are mirroring this movement
in physical objective action by altering your physical location and placing
yourself in the objective imagery of unfamiliarity. This provides
you the opportunity to objectively practice your trust of self and move
more efficiently into your expression of acceptance of self and your own
creations, allowing you more and more to be trusting your own creativity
and your own abilities. Are you understanding?
KRISTIN: Absolutely.
ELIAS: Therefore, although you are correct — I shall not be expressing
to you the direction that you SHOULD be moving into, for this is your choice
and you shall be following your value fulfillment regardless. But
I shall offer to you that have created a line of probabilities before you
that you may quite efficiently move into and be accomplishing much within
your own movement, shall you be choosing to not be aligning with the mass
belief systems and to allow yourself the opportunity to move into the area
of unfamiliarity.
KRISTIN: You mean Europe, if I choose Europe.
ELIAS: Correct.
KRISTIN: Okay! That is a brilliant answer, and very, very
helpful.
ELIAS: Be understanding that I am quite aware of the difficulties
within physical focus that this shall be presenting to you, and you also
hold an awareness. Regardless of the romanticizing of this movement,
there are also quite realistic situations involved with this type of movement
that may be creating of certain elements of conflict. But within
these conflicts, you may be eliminating the conflict by offering yourself
and allowing yourself the opportunity to be trusting in your own creations,
and not allowing yourself to be influenced and swayed by other individuals
that shall align with the mass belief systems.
KRISTIN: Okay. You’re quite right; it does bring up many
conflicts. One conflict, as silly as this might sound, (Elias grins)
involves my dog. I took on the responsibility of a small dog a couple
of years ago, and I would like her to be with me eventually in Europe,
but I don’t want to put her on the plane and put her in a bad situation
where she might be uncomfortable. That’s just one such conflict.
Are there ways of dealing with these types of conflicts?
ELIAS: This also, be realizing, is quite influenced by your belief
systems, for your belief system of comfort is influenced by your perception,
and vice versa.
In this, I have stated many times that your belief systems are creating
of your perception, and in certain situations, your perception may be also
influencing of belief systems that you already hold, in reinforcing them.
What I am expressing to you is that at times you may hold certain belief
systems, and subsequently offer yourself experiences or information via
other individuals or circumstances that shall influence your perception.
Therefore, your perception, then, is reinforcing and influencing of the
belief system that you already hold.
In this, you hold belief systems in the area of comfort for this creature,
and other creatures also. In this belief system, you create a fearfulness
within yourself that harmfulness may befall this creature if you are engaging
transportation within the mode that is available to you presently in movement
to another country.
In this, you may not transport this creature by land. Therefore,
this creates doubtfulness within you to the safety of this creature, but
I express to you that this also is an opportunity for you to view how you
are creating your reality in conjunction and agreement with this creature,
by trusting yourself and your creations and your influence.
As you turn attention to trusting the safety of this creature and allowing
yourself the knowing that no harmfulness shall befall it, you also shall
influence the creation that is manifest jointly between yourself and this
creature, and it shall arrive safely at its new destination. Are
you understanding?
KRISTIN: Yes, I am. I love that little creature more than
anything! (Laughing, and Elias chuckles)
Okay, I have a general question. I’m wondering if you can tell
me a little bit about my entity. Who am
I? is basically the question. Who is this entity that I am an offshoot
of? And furthermore, can you maybe even tell me a couple of interesting
past focuses, in my sense of the word?
ELIAS: (Chuckling) Who are you?!
KRISTIN: Who AM I? (Laughing)
ELIAS: I may express this inquiry to you! Who ARE you?
(Chuckling)
You are yourself, as I am myself, and every other essence is itself.
You are merely the physical expression of your essence. You are the
focus of attention that you identify as Kristin, and this be who you are!
You are not a portion of your essence, and you are not an offshoot of
your essence. You are the entirety of your essence, for the entirety
of your essence and all of its qualities are held within you and also accessible
to you.
As to what you view to be past focuses, I may offer to you ... one moment.
(10-second pause)
I shall offer to you that you hold one focus within what you would term
to be a previous time framework which is influencing of this particular
focus within this present now, and lends energy to the probabilities that
you are creating presently in your draw to new physical location.
You hold another focus of essence within this location of this country
of France, and you also participate in that particular focus with your
present partner.
KRISTIN: Oh!
ELIAS: In this, you hold different roles in relationship with
each other, holding the roles of siblings to each other, both being male
and also being focused quite closely in age, so to speak. You hold
much mischievous[ness] with this individual in that particular focus, and
gain a reputation for creating quite mischievous actions and situations
which are affecting of many other individuals within your village.
In other terms, I may express to you that they may be viewing your pranks
as slightly obnoxious! (Grinning)
KRISTIN: (Cracking up) That’s brilliant!
ELIAS: (Chuckling) Quite playful, I may express also!
In this, you occupy the time framework of mid-seventeen hundreds ...
seventeen six four. Are you understanding?
KRISTIN: Yes.
ELIAS: You do not engage in what you may term to be a flamboyant
lifestyle, and occupy a small village in which yourself and your brother
are quite close in relationship, but do not rise to fame or great wealth.
I am recognizing that this is of great disappointment to you! (Chuckling)
You also hold another focus of essence within the physical location
that you may term presently to be Philippines.
KRISTIN: Philippines! Hmm.
ELIAS: In this, you occupy a time framework in what you would
term to be previous ... 1317. This area is occupied by different
oriental peoples, so to speak, not entirely Filipino. There are Japanese
families that reside within certain villages, of which you are a part of
within that time framework.
KRISTIN: Hmm. I knew it!
ELIAS: In this, you hold very strong belief systems, and hold
much alignment with elements of viewing yourself in a manner of perfectionism
and holding great alignment with discipline.
This focus also at times is quite influencing of this present now, in
lending confusion to yourself and in lending energy to the areas of duplicity,
in which you drive yourself at times for perfection in certain areas and
hold disappointment with yourself that you are not expressing yourself
in a more disciplined manner. This energy is directly influenced
by the energy projected through that particular focus.
But within THIS focus, as you do occupy the time framework of this shift
in consciousness, you may be recognizing of this, and you may also offer
yourself in that recognition the opportunity to reconfigure that energy
which is being lent by that focus to benefit this focus, in allowing more
of your own expressions in creativity rather than limiting yourself within
expressions of limitation in discipline.
I may offer to you one other focus that you may offer yourself the investigation
of, merely for the reason of fun! This would be a focus that you
hold in conjunction with Christian, and in that particular focus....
KRISTIN: Christian, meaning Frank?
ELIAS: Correct.
KRISTIN: Oh neat!
ELIAS: In that particular focus, you occupy an area that you now
term to be Turkey, and in that particular focus, you hold a relationship
to each other in friendship, and practice a colorful lifestyle as gypsies.
(10-second pause)
KRISTIN: Come again? I didn’t understand the last part.
ELIAS: Gypsies!
KRISTIN: Gypsies! Okay, thank you!
ELIAS: Therefore, you may express to Christian that at our next
meeting, I shall be anticipating a reading from your crystal balls!
(Chuckling)
KRISTIN: I’m sorry, Elias, I didn’t hear that last part.
The phone is bad.
ELIAS: You may be expressing to Christian that at our next meeting,
I shall be anticipating a reading from your crystal balls!
KRISTIN: Yes! Well, you know, Christian is a dear, dear
essence, and I’ll do anything to help him if he needs it. (Elias
chuckles)
Okay, this is excellent information, and I appreciate it! My next
question is, do I still have the same essence family and alignments that
I had last time we met?
ELIAS: Yes.
KRISTIN: Okay. It’s Milumet?
ELIAS: Correct.
KRISTIN: With Sumari and Tumold, is it?
ELIAS: Tumold, yes. (Correcting pronunciation)
KRISTIN: Tumold.
ELIAS: Yes.
KRISTIN: Why do I have two alliances? How does that help
me?
ELIAS: At times, essences choose to be incorporating more than
one essence family or more than one essence family alignment. This
offers them a difference in more of a diversity within their intent, and
therefore is offering them of a different type of experience within physical
focus.
Incorporating these two families, as aligning with them in this focus,
offers you a playfulness in conjunction with healing aspects.
Therefore, you allow yourself not to be so very serious in the area
of healing, which also offers you the direction of movement into expressions
of healing that may not necessarily be aligned with the mass belief systems
of healing, and therefore, you may be expressing of this action in quite
creative actions.
KRISTIN: Have I been healing others, and if not, how do I move
more into that type of action?
ELIAS: You are quite influencing in this area already, although
individuals may not necessarily recognize this action in the terms of healing.
But if allowing yourself to be questioning other individuals, you may also
find that they hold an awareness of healing aspects that you offer to them
in fun-lovingness and in your ability to not align with mass belief systems,
and also in your ability to be offering a light-heartedness in different
types of situations.
In this, your presence offers a healing element, and the energy that
you exude merely within your presence is that element that offers the healing
aspect of your intent.
KRISTIN: Okay! Speaking of intents,
I’m starting to understand a little bit more about my intent. Can
you help me to understand MORE about it? What is my intent here on
this earth in this lifetime, and how can I better fulfill my potential?
ELIAS: Let me express to you that you ARE fulfilling your intent
and your value fulfillment, and you may continue to move in this direction
efficiently by addressing to your own individual belief systems and moving
yourself into more of an expression of acceptance of self, for as you are
accomplishing of this, you are also increasing the energy that you project
outwardly to other individuals and you are offering them the example in
the manner of the little sapling, which provides them the opportunity to
also be looking to self, and this is influencing within consciousness,
in lending energy to their acceptance and trust of their own creations.
This would be the element of your intent within this particular focus,
quite aligning with this shift in consciousness.
Also within your intent, you offer the example and the information to
other individuals — incorporating the Milumet — that the genuine expression
of spirituality is NOT an action which is to be attained and outside of
yourself, but that the expression of spirituality is to be incorporating
ALL of self, physical and non-physical, together in harmony, not discounting
any aspect of self as non-spiritual, and allowing one’s self to be moving
into the freedom of spontaneity and trusting of each individual’s own creations,
not necessarily aligning with the mass belief systems. Are you understanding?
KRISTIN: Yes, I am! So I’m kind of what I feel like I’ve
always been. I’m definitely a learner, but I am partly also a teacher.
ELIAS: Quite.
KRISTIN: Okay, but at the same time, I still
am aligning with some mass belief systems that have caused me great pain
this last year. I’m speaking now of some of my anxiety attacks, feeling
like I have to be responsible ... can you go into this area and help me
clear that up? I want to work on the areas in which I still have
to improve myself.
ELIAS: In this, as I have stated previously within this particular
session, as you allow yourself to be more accepting of self and more trusting
of your own expressions and your own creativity, you also shall begin to
relax your hold upon these issues and these belief systems.
Be remembering that each belief system holds very many aspects.
Therefore, as you allow yourself to view all of the different birds within
each of these bird cages of belief systems, you shall also allow yourself
to view how much more efficient it may be to be discontinuing feeding these
birds and allowing them to fly free out of these bird cages.
In this, each time you are experiencing conflict and confusion, you
may turn your attention to your belief systems and view which bird you
are presently giving attention to, and in this, you may refrain from continuing
to feed that particular bird, allowing yourself more of your own freedom
of expression, and this shall be reinforcing of your own trust of self.
I express to you that each time you are allowing yourself to view the
accomplishment of your own trustfulness of self, you shall reinforce your
own acceptance, and in this, you shall move more and more efficiently into
the effortlessness of your own expressions, which shall be enhancing of
the expression of your intent within this particular focus, and it shall
be influencing in discontinuing your creation of conflict.
In this, CONFLICT IS UNNECESSARY. It is a manifestation of the
limitations that you place upon yourself in alignment with your own belief
systems.
Now; be remembering — and also ALLOWING — the influence and expression
of your Milumet, in the remembrance that belief systems in themselves,
as the cage, are neutral. Therefore, do not be placing judgment upon
the belief systems, expressing to yourself that they be bad or good and
that certain belief systems need be eliminated.
Merely allow yourself your own spirituality to be expressed in the recognition
that the conflicts arise in your expression of the aspects of belief systems,
in which you place judgments and in which you reinforce the belief system
of duplicity.
KRISTIN: Which belief should I start with if I want to start getting
through this? Is there a particular belief that I can begin with?
ELIAS: You may begin with the belief of responsibility.
KRISTIN: Okay.
ELIAS: In this, as in the expression of all other belief systems,
there are many aspects that are contained within the belief system.
Therefore, in other terms, there are many birds within the cage, and they
may disguise or camouflage themselves quite efficiently.
In this, the bird of justification aligns itself quite efficiently with
many of the birds in the cage of responsibility.
Therefore, I caution you in the area of the aspects that you view to
be good, not necessarily to be focusing so intensely upon the areas of
this belief system that you view to be bad, so to speak, for as you identify
negativity in this belief system of responsibility, these birds present
themselves quite obviously! But the birds that disguise themselves
as good are not quite so obvious for your viewing, for you automatically
are accepting of them and continue to be feeding them. Therefore,
your attention is not necessarily turned objectively in viewing the birds
that you view to be good.
KRISTIN: Okay ... okay! I have a bunch of kind of quick
questions. I want to get to a few more, if that’s possible?
ELIAS: You may.
KRISTIN: Excellent information! I’m feeling great about
this.
Okay, this French connection! Now I understand that I have a connection
with Frederick in France before, and that makes perfect sense. But
also, there seems to be some weird French connection between Christian
and I — Frank — and even Mary. She just came to France when I was
there. What is this French connection?
ELIAS: Ah!
KRISTIN: Mary — I mean Michael.
ELIAS: And you may be investigating of this also!
I have not offered this information, as I have chosen to be offering
different focuses, as they are directly influencing of you in areas that
you address to presently within this particular focus.
KRISTIN: Sure. Yeah, that’s understandable.
ELIAS: But I may offer to you also that within that particular
focus which has been mentioned already — within your seventeen hundreds
— you participate in interaction with these individuals also as you approach
adulthood, in your terms, and align in friendship with these individuals,
and acquaintance with myself also.
KRISTIN: Oh, how nice! In France?
ELIAS: Correct.
KRISTIN: Good place to meet, huh? (Laughing)
ELIAS: Quite!
KRISTIN: Okay, here’s a kind of ... well, this is a more involved
question. I’m going to save it for the end. I would like to
know, what was my focus or what was my connection with David, the English
guy I was with before Frederick? He was definitely a soul mate.
Some intense stuff happened. Can you tell me briefly a little bit
about that? (Pause)
ELIAS: Ah. You have held physical focuses with this individual,
although within this particular dimension, you may term these to be not
many. You do hold physical focuses with this individual within other
physical dimensions, more in number, so to speak. You also hold an
alignment, in a manner of speaking, with this individual in essence, for
this individual holds an essence that exhibits a similar tone and moves
in similar directions of attention with your essence. Therefore,
I express to you that in the terms of your connections, so to speak, you
would be holding more connections, in a manner of speaking, within essence
and within other-dimensional focuses than within this particular dimension.
KRISTIN: Okay! Very helpful. My other question is
about my writing. (Sighing) I’ve had luck with my writing, with my
acting, with a lot of things, and that adds to my frustration. I
don’t know what to really pursue full-time. Writing is something,
though, that I would like to pursue because it gives me so much freedom
of movement. Can you give me any insight into this?
ELIAS: I shall express to you that all areas of creativity are
open and available to you within your choice of expressions. In this,
I may also express to you the suggestion that you not be limiting yourself.
If you are choosing to be focusing your attention upon writing, this is
quite acceptable and is your choice, but do not limit yourself to merely
one expression of creativity, for you have chosen within this particular
focus to be exploring many aspects of creativity in what individuals within
your society may term to be artistic areas.
Therefore, if you are limiting yourself to merely one expression, you
may also be creating of frustration and conflict within this particular
focus.
This also is another aspect of the issue and belief system that we are
speaking of, in which you hold issue in responsibility, for one of the
aspects of this particular belief system expresses that you need be focusing
your attention in a disciplined manner and not allow yourself distraction.
In this, if you are limiting yourself to merely one creative expression,
you shall be reinforcing this issue and continuing to be feeding the birds
within this particular cage.
KRISTIN: Okay.
ELIAS: I am not discouraging of you in the area of writing.
I am quite encouraging of your expression in this manner. I am merely
cautioning you not to be creating an intensely focused direction in merely
this one area, but to be incorporating natural time and allowing the expression
of your impulses and impressions. Therefore, if you are choosing
the direction of writing, you may express this to be quite acceptable,
but allow yourself also the freedom to be responsive to your own impulses
within the framework of natural time.
Therefore, as you engage the activity of writing, also allow yourself
the openness to spontaneously engage other creative expressions within
your time frameworks of writing. Are you understanding?
KRISTIN: Absolutely, one hundred percent.
ELIAS: Very well.
KRISTIN: So basically, how I kind of feel right now is, I do want
to just kind of go out there, explore, play, find all different types of
expressions. So I think I’m understanding that I should go with this
feeling!
ELIAS: Quite! I am quite encouraging of this action, and
be remembering, fun is good!
KRISTIN: Yes, I agree! (Laughing) Also, I feel that since
Frederick is supporting me financially right now, I have to kind of get
away from the feeling of being irresponsible and accept it as a gift that
he’s giving me. Is this correct?
ELIAS: Quite correct!
KRISTIN: Okay!
ELIAS: This is another element or another bird within this cage,
and also I may express to you that many individuals, yourself also, hold
great difficulty in the area of receiving.
In this, be remembering that each individual is creating of their reality,
and creating of their choice of expression.
As you are not accepting of another individual’s expression, you also
lend energy to the lack of acceptance of their own expression, and your
lack of acceptance of another individual’s expression is the outward expression
of the lack of acceptance of elements within self.
KRISTIN: Huh! Do you mean that if I don’t accept this gift
he’s giving me, of being allowed to create without worrying about money,
that that’s ... is that what you’re talking about?
ELIAS: Quite!
KRISTIN: Okay! He does get something out of it. I
see that.
ELIAS: Quite!
KRISTIN: On this subject briefly, what is this action between
he and I? Of course, I’m tempted to ask, “Is he the right one for
me?” and all that kind of stuff, but I won’t! But I do want some
insight on that whole situation. He seems to be very good for me!
ELIAS: And you may continue to be moving in this direction within
your thought process, for this is helpful to you in allowing you to express
your own acceptance of self, for he is choosing to lend energy to you in
reinforcement of your own acceptance of self, offering you helpfulness
in allowing you to view new freedoms outside of the mass belief systems.
KRISTIN: Yes, this is very, very true. Okay, this is the
big question I wanted to ask. I’m hoping I have time to ask one small
one after this. We only have about another six minutes.
I have a lot of concern about the sufferings
of the world. I know better than this. I know I shouldn’t torture
myself this way, but I DO torture myself. I think about the suffering
of animals, the suffering of political prisoners. It can drive me
crazy sometimes! How do I deal with these feelings? And also,
do animals really choose to suffer?
ELIAS: I have offered information previously in this area concerning
your creatures, and I may express to you that your belief system and your
perception of the suffering of creatures is quite aligned with your perception
of yourselves.
You lean in the direction of “people-izing” all of the elements of your
reality, but I express to you that this is not necessarily in actuality
the experience of other elements within your reality, be they creatures
or any other element of consciousness within your reality.
You may inquire of Michael as to the information which has been previously
offered, and he may be helpful in your accessing of this information.
As to your responsiveness in these areas, this once again is quite related
to your issues in the area of responsibility, moving into the expression
of personal responsibility and your participation within your world, so
to speak.
In this, let me also be reminding you that your most efficient and effective
expression in altering situations within your physical dimension is to
be addressing to self and to your own acceptance and trust of self.
(Intently) I may not be expressing this to individuals strongly
enough, for although you do not necessarily objectively view the affectingness
of this action, it is much more affecting in your reality than any of your
objective expressions of rescue.
KRISTIN: Okay.
ELIAS: (Firmly) For within the expression of acceptance and trust
of self and turning your attention to self, you are not merely affecting
quite strongly of every individual that you objectively engage, but you
send outward, so to speak, a wave of energy within consciousness that is
affecting of all other essences physically focused within this dimension.
KRISTIN: Okay. That’s excellent. Just a quick parting
question. I’m sorry to rush through, but I want to get this in.
What can you tell me as far as ... you’ve told me so much, but as far as
... as I move into this new direction that I want to move into, any parting
words of counsel or advice that would help me right now?
ELIAS: Merely to be accepting of the expressions that are being
offered to you in helpfulness with your partner, and to be accepting of
the expressions in helpfulness of other individuals also, and to be incorporating
this same action within yourself, to yourself.
As you allow the expressions of other individuals and you allow yourself
the receiving and acceptance of their expressions, notice within yourself
how you may be offering these types of expressions to yourself also, for
you shall be your greatest critic.
In this, allow yourself to recognize YOUR worthiness in the same manner
that you recognize other individuals’ worthiness.
KRISTIN: Oh yeah, definitely.
ELIAS: Therefore, this shall be your most helpful expression as
you move into your new areas of unfamiliarity, which shall be providing
to you new avenues of creativity and expression.
I am quite encouraging in this area!
KRISTIN: Fantastic! So I’m doing pretty good, right?
ELIAS: Quite!
KRISTIN: Thank you! Well, that’s about it. Mary’s
been under for an hour, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart
for all your help. I feel I really needed this, and this is very,
very helpful, so thank you.
ELIAS: You are very welcome, and I shall continue to be lending
energy to you as you move into your new avenues of creativity.
Be anticipating elements of blue to be presenting themselves to you
as an expression of confirmation from this essence to you in encouragement.
KRISTIN: Thank you, and I will be looking for it! As you
know, I always look for these types of things. Thank you!
ELIAS: You are very welcome. I express to you great affection
this day, and I bid you a very fond au revoir.
KRISTIN: Thank you.
Elias departs at 12:18 PM.
