Participants: Mary (Michael), and one new participant,
Daryl (Ashrah).
Elias arrives at 3:09 PM. (Arrival time is 20 seconds)
ELIAS: Good afternoon!
DARYL: Hello, Elias. It’s good to talk to you in this new
way. (Elias chuckles) This is Ashrah.
ELIAS: And you have inquiries this day, Ashrah?
DARYL: Yes, I do. I’m interested in talking about several
areas that to me all seem to be intertwined and connected with fear and
duplicity. One of them is shrines to the past, and another one is
an internal survival system I have which sort of divides me and is very
limiting to me, and another one is my eye condition which causes pain on
focusing. I sent you an e-mail question earlier about this, and you
said that that was connected with shrines, and also a genetic choice that
I’ve made. (reference #)
To me, these areas are all connected with
my fear and duplicity, and I don’t know if you’d like to discuss them separately
or together. I did feel like about four months ago I began a shift
inside me, and thought that I was starting to dismantle the shrines and
that things were happening, but now I kind of feel like I’m back on the
hamster wheel. I’m just not getting very far very fast.
ELIAS: (Chuckling) And you are experiencing the surgence
of surfacing of this element of duplicity within yourself, are you not?
DARYL: Yes, I am.
ELIAS: Let me express to you initially that partially, this is
in conjunction with this wave in consciousness which is occurring presently,
which emphasizes many aspects of beliefs and is also bringing surfacely
many issues that individuals hold, allowing you the opportunity to be examining
and noticing these aspects of belief systems and also your individual fears
and issues that you hold.
Now; in this, I shall inquire of you if you are wishing to be discussing
elements of your fearfulness, or if you are wishing to be discussing other
aspects of your reality presently?
DARYL: Well, I know that fear is an important issue to me.
If there’s something else that I’m not aware of, I’d like to know about
that. But I do seem to be holding very strongly to the fear, and
it seems to me that that’s preventing me from letting go of this system
inside me, if you understand what I mean by that.
ELIAS: Quite. In this, let me express to you that you are
presently moving into a position of addressing to many of these elements
within yourself, that you may be preparing yourself in outward expressions
which concern other individuals, and this would be in relation to your
individual intent. Therefore, in a manner of speaking, what you are
moving into presently is sweeping away the cobwebs, so to speak, and emptying
of your closets, and in this action, you afford yourself much more freedom
of movement and much more freedom within your individual creativity to
be expressing yourself with other individuals.
Now; presently and for much time framework within your focus previously,
you have held issues in the area of fearfulness with respect to other individuals
and interaction with them. I express to you, as you are aware already,
that I focus attention quite specifically, much of the time, so to speak,
in the direction of looking to self and examining those areas of self in
which you are not accepting of.
Now; let me express in this that this particular direction of attention
is extremely important, for it is very affecting, not merely of yourself
but also within the interactions of other individuals, for individuals
shall mirror to you what you project outwardly to them.
In this, individuals — yourself also, pastly — look in the direction
of examining other individual’s behaviors and expressions and hold confusion
in their thought process, that they view themselves as projecting outwardly
what you term to be helpfulness and kindness and also that they project
outwardly non-involvement in other individual’s issues, therefore offering
no reason for other individuals to be interacting with them in any manner
of what you view as negativity. They enter the area of confusion
as they are faced with this type of negativity, regardless of their perception
of their outward expression.
You have created this type of situation many times within your focus,
which creates confusion and also lends much energy to areas of fear, for
you view that other individual’s expressions become suspect and you are
not trusting of their expressions in fearfulness that they may be hurtful
to you, and you have experienced this feeling and this creation within
reality, of hurtfulness repeatedly within your individual focus.
Now; I express to you that the reason that you draw these experiences
to yourself is that you are holding to certain shrines. Be remembering
— as you are aware of shrines — that within the action that individuals
create concerning these shrines, you create patterns and repeated actions
that shall reinforce your beliefs and shall reinforce the issues that are
creating of the shrine.
In this, you have created a shrine in the area of how other people are
viewing you, and that this is the measure of your expression and of your
worth. Therefore, they are very intertwined. In each individual’s
expression to you, if it is holding any hint, so to speak, of lack of acceptance
in any direction within your perception, you shall add this to your shrine
as another jewel and reinforce the issue that you already hold.
But let us be in remembrance of these shrines and the action of these
shrines, for you draw to yourself expressions that shall be reinforcing
of these issues, for you hold tightly to them and you do not view these
as bad, but are very protective of these great shrines and are — in a manner
of speaking, as I have stated previously — worshipping of the value of
these shrines.
Now; this type of situation with very large shrines creates difficulty
and thickness within an individual’s focus, for as you begin to notice
that you have created a shrine of this type and you begin to address to
this creation, you also choose to be dismantling of it, but hold confusion
in how you may be dismantling of it. This moves us into the area
of focusing upon self.
Now; I also express to you that I hold awareness of the difficulty in
this area, for it is not merely the creation of the shrine that holds much
power and energy, but also, within physical focus you have become very
accustomed to creating automatic behaviors. In this, you create certain
draws and responses within yourselves as easily and automatically as you
create your breath — with no thought process. Therefore, many times
there is initially also a great difficulty in addressing to these types
of situations. Therefore, I express to you my awareness that what
I am expressing to you may seem quite simplistic in words, but I hold awareness
of the difficulty in its actualization.
In turning your attention to self, be recognizing of how you are drawing
certain expressions from other individuals by not accepting yourself.
In this, you ARE noticing of many areas of duplicity, for this may be slightly
easier to be identifying, but in this noticing of duplicitous expressions
and experiences, you may also move farther inward and identify the triggers,
the emotions, the responses, and the reactions that you automatically are
creating in relation to other individuals with respect to yourself.
As you move in the direction of choosing to be addressing to these issues
and changing your reality, your most efficient movement in widening your
awareness is to be affording yourself more of an acceptance of self.
You may begin with this in small increments.
I express to you, individuals many times may become discouraged and
also distracted in their attempt to be dismantling a shrine, for as they
begin to view the shrine, they also view the enormity of it and the depth
of it, and in this, they may be overwhelming themselves in viewing how
they may be dismantling of this immense structure that they have created
within them.
I express to you that you lean in this direction also, in being overcome,
in a manner of speaking, at viewing these issues and the intensity of energy
which has been provided them, and subsequently not holding a thought process
or a feeling of adequacy in the area of ability to be dismantling of this
shrine.
Now; this is the expression of the duplicity, which is also hindering
of your movement. I express to you that you may be very efficiently
dismantling of this once you are turning your attention more efficiently
to self.
In this, I offer to you that you may be moving in small increments initially,
merely noticing each time you are experiencing the twinging and the triggering
of defensiveness, and also of what you may term to be hurtfulness.
Many times, you may also be noticing of a twinge of irritation that you
automatically express within you.
Now; I am not expressing to you that you be noticing of those time frameworks
in which these types of expressions are quite obvious to you, but that
you be noticing, within each interaction that you hold with other individuals,
your triggering and your twinging that you create within you within each
of these different expressions of interactions.
It matters not the measure in physical terms, that you view them to
be quite small, for in viewing small twinges, in your terms, you are less
inclined to follow those twinges and create a behavior in response to them,
but you may allow yourself to be holding without a response or without
a reaction, and merely allow yourself the moments to be examining why you
are twinging in the manner that you are.
As you begin to notice these time frameworks, you may also identify
to yourself at which times you are feeling oppressed and at which times
you are feeling what you may term to be a victim of another individual’s
expression. You may also notice in this how you move in the direction
of creating a feeling of immobilization and helplessness.
These are not expressions that other individuals thrust upon you.
These are expressions that you create within yourself, and you view these
to be protections for yourself. But in actuality, I express to you
that they merely restrain your movement, and cage you, and limit your expressions
by eliminating much of your individual freedom. In this, you have
based, so to speak, much of your own freedom of movement in relation to
other individuals.
I express to you that the reason you engage with me this day is to offer
yourself objective information that you already hold and you already know,
in the direction of readiness to turn your attention to self now, and occupy
your movement with noticing your own expressions regardless of other individual’s
expressions. In this, also offer yourself permission temporarily
to be moving in directions that offer you no conflict, and if your no-conflict
scenario is to be removing yourself physically from certain situations,
employ that action! For initially, within this movement that you
are creating presently, more importance is held that you continue to be
reinforcing of yourself and creating your individual no-conflict scenarios,
and this shall be validating to you in strengthening your acceptance of
self regardless of other individual’s expressions.
I express to you also, eventually you may move into fuller expressions
and you may not necessarily choose to be removing yourself from certain
situations. But presently, your acceptance of self is quite weakened,
and therefore I express to you to be attending to self first, and all other
matters secondly. Are you understanding?
DARYL: I’m not sure about the last part, about removing myself
from the situation. Are you talking about a relationship I’m recently
in?
ELIAS: No. No, I am not expressing that you be removing
yourself in these types of extreme terms, but as you are engaging in any
particular moment of conflict and you notice that you are beginning to
be more and more intensely discounting of yourself and your own expression
within that conflict, it may be more efficient for you, within the moment,
to be removing yourself temporarily from the interaction.
Now; in like manner, I am also expressing to you that it may be quite
beneficial to you also to be removing yourself from yourself within your
inner chatter at times also, for as you allow yourself to move in the direction
of concentrating upon certain situations and creations and analyzing and
repeating them to yourself over and over within your thought process, examining
every angle of every expression that you hold, you begin to move into the
area of doubting your own expression, and in this, you allow a wide window
for the expression of duplicity.
In this, I offer to you that you may be offering yourself much more
of an efficient expression — to be stopping and not continuing your hamster
wheel within your thought process as you engage any situation that is creating
uncomfortableness with you, and allow yourself to move your attention into
another area. In a manner of speaking, it may be beneficial to you
to disengage your analyzation and to be distracting yourself temporarily.
You may return to your thought process and your analyzation of a particular
situation, but once you have offered yourself a temporary removal and distraction,
you lessen the intensity and therefore also break the circle of perpetuating
the intensity of energy that you create within yourself, which also creates
much of your confusion. (Pause, and then Daryl sighs and Elias chuckles)
DARYL: Okay....
ELIAS: Ashrah!
DARYL: Pardon?
ELIAS: I express to you that I offer you this information as I
am recognizing within your energy how very efficiently you magnate in the
direction of discounting self, and in this expression, you may be offering
many different types of expressions that you view to be helpful to other
individuals, and you are not affording yourself this helpfulness very much
at all.
Therefore, I express this information to you quite purposefully in recognizing
that there is a very large area within you that closes to your own expression
of openness and vulnerability, and this is your expression of fear, and
this also is your expression of duplicity, and in this, you do not afford
yourself the comfort that you may afford to other individuals.
I express to you that you hold equal importance within physical focus
and within all of consciousness to every other individual that is manifest,
and you are as unique and as wondrous as any other individual! You
merely do not accept this within yourself, for you view yourself to be
the expression of the vacuum of the black hole, and I express to you that
I view you within your energy to be the wondrous expression of the universe
manifest within physical form!
Therefore, accept this information, that you may offer yourself the
opportunity to be appreciating of self and not be discounting of self so
very often.
DARYL: Okay. Thank you.
ELIAS: You are very welcome.
DARYL: In relation to my eyes, I felt
that just before the condition started, I essentially gave up because I
did feel the enormity of this and I felt helpless to change it, and that
my eyes are partly an expression of that turning away and that helplessness.
ELIAS: Quite, and I express to you that you have quite efficiently
created this outward physical expression of your protection. You
do not allow yourself to focus, for you are concentrating very strongly
upon holding your energy, that it may offer you a protection and not allow
you to express the vulnerability and the openness. But in this expression,
you are also restraining your own movement and you are creating of great
limitations, and as you continue to be creating of these limitations within
yourself, you mirror this outwardly in your expression of self.
Now; look to this expression, and how do you view this expression but
as very bad, unacceptable, inadequate, and quite less than efficient?
And this is how you view yourself. Therefore, it is quite efficient,
within your expression of self in gaining your attention, that you shall
employ your physical vision to offer you this type of information.
DARYL: So, if I move towards accepting myself and dismantling
the shrines, then it will probably have an impact on my eye condition?
ELIAS: Quite; yes. I express to you, you hold in truth the
ability to be altering this expression, and although I express to you that
this also is an alignment with genetics, this is not locking you within
an absolute expression and is not suggesting to you that you no longer
hold the ability to be altering that reality, for you do.
Any individual may be moving outside of their own choices for alignment
with genetic expressions within any given movement.
You within physical focus, in your amazement at these types of expressions,
express to yourselves that you view miracles. I express to you that
these are merely choices that individuals create in the desire to be altering
of their expression of what they have created within their reality, recognizing
that it is unnecessary for the continuation of that particular expression.
Now that you begin to offer yourself more of an understanding of what
you are creating physically as a mirror expression of how you view yourself
and your entirety of your focus, you may begin to be turning your attention
to self and beginning upon your movement in acceptance of self, and as
you move into this expression, you shall also be affecting of your physical
expression that you have created to this present now. You may be
uncreating this. You may also be uncreating your expression of lack
of acceptance of yourself!
DARYL: Okay. One other thing I wanted to know about is that
I did create some money a few years ago that has enabled me to take time
off, which for one thing lessened the pain in my eyes and allowed me to
start reading and draw myself to the Elias material. So, I’m thinking
that it is within my intent to continue to bring in money and not go back
to a traditional job, because I would much rather spend my time working
within the shift. Can you tell me if that’s a probability?
ELIAS: Within your present creation of your probabilities, yes.
I express to you that the reason that your present probabilities move
in this direction is that your desire is very great in this area, and your
movement into the area of turning your attention to self within your desire
is also very great. Therefore, you view this type of action subjectively
to be quite easy. This, within your subjective awareness, appears
to be an incidental, so to speak, and you shall afford yourself this type
of creation without much laboriousness, for you wish not to be expelling
energy and great attention in this area of creating physical, financial,
and material elements, but merely to be creating that as a means, so to
speak, to be facilitating what you view to be a much greater area of importance
in your focus.
Therefore, I express to you, as I have stated, within the probabilities
that you are presently creating, yes, you are also creating an acquisition
of financial helpfulness, that you may continue to concentrate your energy
in other areas that shall be much more efficient in holding your attention
with respect to yourself and to your participation within this shift in
consciousness.
Each movement that you engage in addressing to self and in accomplishing
within your acceptance of self lends much energy within this shift and
lends much energy to other individuals within physical focus. It
also frees you to be actualizing more of your abilities to be helpful with
other individuals objectively.
DARYL: Okay. I’ve had another experience with my eyes that
seems unrelated. It’s happened several times over the past few years.
My vision of physical reality begins to look like I’m seeing it through
running water, and when I close my eyes, I see geometric shapes that are
different colors and that are alive and moving, and I wondered if this
was a bleed-through of another dimension, or if it isn’t that, what it
is.
ELIAS: You are correct. This is a bleed-through. This
is not a physical affectingness of your eyes or your physical vision.
It is merely a temporary expression that you allow as you begin to widen
your awareness. It may be occurring more frequently if you are opening
yourself to the allowance of this action.
Now; be understanding that for the most part, individuals are not necessarily
experiencing this type of action in relation to bleed-throughs intentionally
yet. This is not to say that you may not move into the position of
objectively, intentionally manipulating this type of engagement.
But presently, for the most part, as I have stated, it appears to be a
random action, although it is not random, but it appears within physical
focus to be occurring randomly. This, in your experience and your
situation also, is an other-dimensional focus that you hold within essence
which is bleeding through, and therefore, you view as it views.
DARYL: So, is that focus made of shapes like that?
ELIAS: It does not hold form in the manner that you are accustomed
to. The reason that you view this type of vision — in which you describe
that it appears you are viewing through running water — is that this particular
dimension does not hold the solidity that you have created in this dimension
that you occupy. In this, certain elements of their reality hold
this sparkling quality that you view as blinking geometric shapes and colors.
This is an element of their reality in their physical terms.
They themselves hold more to the type of form of much less solidity
and what you may term to be a watery type of created form, although it
is not comprised of water, but this is very closely translated into your
reality within the identification of elements within your reality that
you recognize. Therefore, as they hold this type of form, they also
view other forms in this manner. This be the reason that you experience
this type of vision temporarily and infrequently, for you are allowing
yourself to view in the manner that they view.
DARYL: Okay, that makes sense. Thank you.
ELIAS: You are quite welcome.
DARYL: It’s my understanding that I am a final focus. Is
that correct?
ELIAS: You are correct.
DARYL: Have I engaged transition? (10-second pause)
ELIAS: You have engaged this action of transition in what you
term to be — linear time — two years previous to this present now, but
I express to you that you move cautiously presently into the action of
this transition and are not engaging intensity in it presently, for you
occupy your attention much more in the direction of holding to your attempts
to be focusing and not necessarily de-focusing, which is partially an action
within the movement of transition.
DARYL: I was wondering if you could give me a clue about another
focus to investigate, one that would be interesting or helpful.
ELIAS: I express to you, you may be investigating of another focus
that you hold within eastern regions; southern tip, so to speak, of your
continent of South America. In that focus, which occupies a time
framework of 1719, your essence holds a focus of an individual, also female,
within a small tribe that you would identify to be quite primitive, but
I express to you that the social and cultural state of this particular
focus matters not, for [in] this particular focus, the individual experiences
many similar challenges to yourself, and also experiences many similar
emotional affectingnesses and responses inwardly that she does not engage
outwardly and does not allow other individuals to view. Therefore,
in that focus, she is quite guarded within her expressions, viewing that
emotional expressions are creating of a perception within herself that
other individuals view as a lack of strength. In investigating this
particular focus, you may also offer yourself insight to self.
I express to you that many times, individuals within physical focus
— you yourself also — may view another individual much more clearly than
you allow yourself to view yourself. Therefore, as you view the expressions
and the holding of energy and the protectiveness that this individual exerts,
you may apply this also to yourself, for you exchange energy with that
focus in lending energy to each other. Therefore, in your perpetuation
of your expressions you lend energy, and in your allowance for openness
you lend energy, and in this, you may not merely afford yourself more freedom
and more of an understanding of self, but you may be also lending energy
to a freer expression within herself.
DARYL: Okay. Our time is pretty much up, so I guess I will
hold the rest of my questions for another time.
ELIAS: Very well, and I shall anticipate our next meeting, and
I shall be inquiring as to your progress in the area of your noticing and
your implementation of your no-conflict scenario. I am encouraging
of you within your engagement of interactiveness with other individuals
presently, and your allowance of yourself to be attempting in your own
movement into some areas of vulnerability within relationship. I
am acknowledging of your desire and your beginnings of movement, and I
shall also offer you a lending of energy from myself in your continuation
of your movement.
Hold your attention to self and be acknowledging of self, and I shall
be interactive with you and we shall view together, and as we view, I may
be choosing to be interactive with you at times to be reminding you of
your discounting of self, that you may continue to be moving in the direction
of accepting of self. (Laughing)
DARYL: Okay, I’ll try to notice that too!
ELIAS: (Laughing) I am quite fond of small energy proddings
to be helpful to individuals within physical focus! You may not be
reminding yourself quite as often as I may be reminding of you to be noticing!
(Laughing)
DARYL: Well, I could certainly use the help!
ELIAS: To you this day I offer great affection, and I bid you
quite lovingly, adieu.
DARYL: Adieu.
Elias departs at 4:10 PM.
