Participants: Mary (Michael) and Lisa (Yaulyn/Taulyn).
Elias arrives at 1:01 PM. (Arrival time is 18 seconds)
ELIAS: Good afternoon!
LISA: Hello!
ELIAS: (Chuckling) And we meet again!
LISA: (Laughing) Yeah, sooner than I thought! (Elias chuckles)
I would have forgotten all about you if Katie hadn’t come last night and
reminded me. (Elias laughs) I am a flake, you know! (Laughing)
ELIAS: (Chuckling) And you may proceed.
LISA: Okay. The first thing that’s been going on is, I have
a dog, and the dog has been here for a long, long
time, and he does really strange things. I’ve been trying to work
with him with training, thinking that with some consistency he’d calm down
a little bit, but it doesn’t seem to be working. He runs in circles
in specific places in the house, and he barks at spots on the wall and
spots in the yard, and he chases shadows, and he does all sorts of things
like that. I brought a new puppy in and that helps a little bit,
but basically the dog is afraid of everything.
I know the dog senses energy deposits around my house, and part of his
response is that, because I know there is one he didn’t like in my daughter’s
room. He wouldn’t go in there.
My question is, dogs obviously have consciousness, but how is it different
than ours? What’s the deal? I’ve tried to like make him comfortable
with what’s going on around the house, you know, telling him things like,
“They’re energy deposits, that’s okay, they’re okay, leave them alone,
they’re alright,” but he doesn’t seem to respond to that, and I’m not sure
how to talk to the dog, how to get to him.
ELIAS: (Chuckling) Once again, I shall express to you, in
like manner to other individuals, that what you are creating is moving
in a direction of “people-izing” this creature, and interacting with this
creature in the perception that it shall respond to you and be understanding
your expression in the manner of another individual of your own species.
In this, creatures hold a very different design of consciousness than
do you. Their expression many times may be quite different from your
expectation of their expression or your want of their expression.
Now; I have offered much information in the subject matter of creatures
and your interaction with creatures, which you may be inquiring of Michael
if you are so choosing, and he may be directing you to the accessing of
that information.
But I shall also express to you that this creature is responding quite
naturally. Creatures are quite in tune, so to speak, with different
elements and movements of consciousness.
They do not hold belief systems and therefore they do not block or limit
their awareness of other elements of their reality that you do not necessarily
allow yourselves to notice or to view, in very similar manner to small
children, which allow themselves also to be open to many more elements
within consciousness than you allow yourselves as you progress within your
linear aging process.
This particular creature is merely responding to stimuli and activity
which is occurring around it, and in this, it is expressing itself quite
naturally.
Now; let me also express to you that individuals draw themselves to
certain creatures quite purposefully. It is not accidental that you
encounter certain animals and that you develop a relationship, in a manner
of speaking, with certain animals, for within consciousness, you draw yourselves
to certain creatures that you shall move in conjunction and in agreement
with, and if you are not continuing agreement with the relationship which
concerns that particular creature, you shall discontinue your interaction
with it.
But as you continue to be creating a type of relationship with an individual
creature, you are also offering yourself an opportunity to be presenting
to yourself different information and allowing yourself certain types of
experiences that you wish to be participating within.
Now; as to the behavior that this creature is displaying, so to speak,
this is quite natural to the personality type, in a manner of speaking,
that this particular creature aligns with.
In this, there is a natural expression of experience that this particular
creature is creating. This particular manifestation of consciousness
has chosen certain qualities that may be displayed commonly among this
particular type of manifestation.
Let me offer an element of clarity in this.
Each individual species and breed, so to speak, of creatures is a specific
designation and design of consciousness, and within those specific designs
of consciousness, there are qualities and attributes, so to speak, that
are assumed by that manifestation of consciousness commonly. Therefore,
you may look to a specific breed within a species, and you may identify
similar behaviors throughout that particular identification of that particular
species. Certain creatures consistently create certain common behaviors.
Now; within what you identify as domesticated creatures, you also have
participated collectively in the design of certain qualities which are
attributed to certain breeds within specific species.
This particular creature ... you have collectively created an input,
so to speak, in the design of the manifestation of this particular breed,
in like manner to all other expressions of breeds within the species.
Therefore, there are certain qualities and certain behaviors which are
common to many of the creatures that participate in that particular breed.
Now; there are deviations in this, for it is not an absolute.
Each creature holds the ability to be creating of its individual reality,
and therefore it holds the choice to be aligning within this type of agreement
of manifestation of consciousness. But generally speaking, they shall
be willingly participating in the guidelines of the design and expressions
that are commonly held within that particular breed.
This particular creature holds a heightened sensitivity to outer senses,
and in this, there is a natural responsiveness to the stimuli that it experiences.
This may be creating of elements of conflict within the interaction
of individuals, for you lean in the direction of holding expectations that
you may be creating of certain behaviors which shall be followed by the
creature.
Now; many times this shall move in a compliant manner with your domesticated
creatures, but I shall also express to you that this may not always be
the situation, for be remembering, each creature holds the choice to be
aligning or to not be aligning with your creations and with your wants.
They are not subject to your will, so to speak.
Therefore, in addressing to this particular individual situation ...
for I hold the awareness that the reason you are inquiring of this situation
is that you are wishing information that may offer you a method to be interacting
with this creature in what you assess to be a more efficient manner.
In actuality, you are wishing for information to be creating of a more
comfortable situation in your interaction with this creature.
Therefore, I shall express to you that in your interaction with this
particular creature, you may be allowing yourself to move in the direction
of discontinuing your attempt to be people-izing this creature and holding
expectations that it shall respond to you in the manner in which you design,
and you may allow yourself to move in the direction of being compliant
with its direction.
In this, allow yourself the engagement of your empathic sense.
Allow yourself to be connecting with this creature, experiencing its
experience, and in this, you may avail yourself of the information that
in actuality, the creature expresses itself in the manner that it does
to be gaining your attention. But it continues to display certain
types of behavior, for it is attempting to be acquiring a specific type
of interaction with you which it is not receiving.
You move in the direction of offering orders and commands. You
move in the direction of expectation of compliance with behavior.
The creature is not concerning itself with behavior. It moves
in the direction of attempting to be gaining your attention in interaction
and in supportiveness; acceptance.
LISA: Okay.
ELIAS: This also is quite purposeful, for the creature, in like
manner to the individual that we have discussed previously within your
employ, the creature is participating in an interaction with you to gain
your attention, to allow you an opportunity to be practicing your expression
of acceptance in areas that are not necessarily comfortable with you or
that you are not necessarily in agreement with.
LISA: Ah, okay. I’m doing that again, huh? (Laughing)
Expecting everyone and everything to see things my way!
ELIAS: Ha ha ha! This is quite common. You are not
individually, singularly expressing in this manner! (Laughing)
LISA: But I seem so laid back! I don’t understand. (Laughing)
ELIAS: It is not an expression of your personality. This
is not an expression of different personality types or expressions.
This is a direct influence of underlying belief systems which are held
en masse and are very strong.
LISA: Okay. Not everybody holds their belief systems that
strongly, though. I was talking to Katie last night, and she goes
to specifics that she’s not accepting of, and a lot of people do this.
They’ll realize they’re not gonna be accepting of, oh, Christianity
or homosexuality or something like that, something in particular, or even
religious belief systems. But my problem seems to be that I’m just
... I’m not even aware that ... I don’t know how to put this.
I just stumble along, and it’s like I stumble into somebody that’s behaving
in ways that I completely don’t understand, and they’re saying things and
doing things that I just don’t get and I can’t get, and so there’s a different
type of lack of acceptance, I guess, of other people’s belief systems,
in that I don’t even acknowledge up front that other people have them.
Does that make sense?
ELIAS: Quite.
LISA: Okay.
ELIAS: And do not fool yourself into the thought process that
other individuals do not create this self-same expression, for they do!
LISA: Okay.
ELIAS: Individuals may express to you that they hold the ability
to be identifying certain aspects of belief systems — and you also hold
the ability to identify certain aspects of belief systems — but do not
be fooled in the thought process that they are not expressing the very
same movement that you are expressing.
They are not objectively aware of many, many aspects of the belief systems
that they themselves hold, and I express to you that this is the process.
This is not a problem, so to speak. This is merely the process that
you are all moving through — the identification and the recognition of
different aspects of these belief systems.
Each time another individual approaches you and is expressing of any
element of conflict in any manner within their experience presently, you
may be assured that there are aspects of belief systems that they are presenting
to themselves that they may not even view.
LISA: Okay. (Sighing) Okay.
ELIAS: Therefore, do not express to yourself that you are not
accomplishing, or that other individuals are creating better.
LISA: (Laughing) Okay.
ELIAS: This is not a competition, and there is no winner!
LISA: (Laughing) Okay, that’s good to know! (Elias chuckles)
Alright, I have another situation with an old
boyfriend, and the last time he and I ... we’ve been friends for a while,
and we live a long way apart, and things were going fine, I thought.
I was happy with the relationship. The other day, out of the blue,
I got a letter from him. He’s very unhappy with it. What I
thought was just great apparently just torments him. It’s terrible
for him. He says he’s in pain all the time.
This is all around issues of monogamy and things like that. He’s
created a reality that’s completely different from mine, and it’s obvious
that they’re different, and I’m having a really hard time accepting it
because it seems to me ... here’s one of my points. It seems to me
that at least subjectively, if we’ve made a decision to enter this experience
together subjectively, shouldn’t my reality have some bearing on his, and
his influence mine? Or no?
ELIAS: These are choices, and I shall express to you, in like
manner to many other expressions within your physical reality, you hold
to absolutes. Although you may create a thought process and express
to yourself and express to other individuals and even express to myself
that you do not hold to absolutes, you do.
In this, you create an agreement and you recognize an agreement, and
once you have created an agreement, you express within yourself a solidity
to this agreement, and there is a lack of allowance for choice and difference
and change within the design of your objective agreements. What you
create within many of these agreements is expectation.
Now; in this, the reason that you are experiencing conflict is that
you are experiencing disappointment, and the disappointment is the expression
of an unfulfilled want.
LISA: Okay.
ELIAS: You create a want in conjunction with another individual,
but in this want, there is a lack of acceptance that other individuals
create their reality, and this is independent, in a manner of speaking,
of your reality, and their choices are their choices, and they are only
influenced by your choices as they choose to allow them to be influenced.
This is the reason that I express so very often to you all to be turning
your attention to self, for you do not create the reality of other individuals
and other individuals do not create your reality.
But in this, you hold very strongly to the reverse, and you move yourselves
into the creation of expressions of hurt and anxiety and disappointment
and frustration and anger and distress.
All of these expressions that you experience within your thoughts and
your emotions are quite influenced in your lack of acceptance of self,
for your attention is not directed to self. It is directed to other
individuals in the belief that other individuals are creating your reality,
and you are creating their reality.
You express to yourselves in words, in concept: “I create my reality.
I create every element of my reality. Other individuals create their
reality. I hold the awareness that I do not create their reality.”
These are words and they are concepts. In reality, you DO believe
that other individuals create your reality, for you allow yourselves to
become victims of another individual’s choices.
“This individual has created this choice, and this makes me feel this
way.” No.
“This individual has created this choice, and therefore I have no choice
but to move in this direction.”
LISA: Exactly.
ELIAS: Once again, no.
LISA: (Laughing) Okay!
ELIAS: You always hold choices! You always hold choices,
and another individual’s choices do not dictate to you your choices or
your direction or your interaction.
In this, what I am expressing to you is that within the confines of
the belief systems that you hold that you are not creating your reality,
that another individual is creating your reality, you limit your view of
your choices, and this creates your cause and effect or your either/or
scenarios. But there are myriads of choices between the end swingings
of the pendulum, the either/or.
There are many, many choices that you do not allow yourselves to view,
and one of the greatest reasons that you do not allow yourselves to view
all of your choices is that you are not viewing yourselves! You are
not placing your attention to self and you are not accepting of self.
As you turn your attention to self and are not concentrating so very
intensely upon the choices of other individuals and how that dictates your
behavior, you allow yourself to view how YOU may dictate your behavior.
LISA: Yeah. I understand.
ELIAS: This is very common within physical focus. Looking
to self, acceptance of self, and acceptance of belief systems is very unfamiliar
to you, and therefore, as you move closer and closer into this action and
more and more into the actualization of this action and creating this into
an actual reality, you also become confused and you begin to experience
tremendous difficulty in your movement, for it is quite unfamiliar to you
to be creating thought processes in this manner.
LISA: (Sighing) Okay. Can I ask you something about
monogamy?
ELIAS: You may.
LISA: The belief system around monogamy?
ELIAS: You may.
LISA: Um, I’ve had a lot of conflict with that almost from the
beginning. It just doesn’t seem very natural to me, and I know a
part of that ... I’m influenced by belief systems in ways that I don’t
even recognize, so obviously I’m programmed that monogamy is normal. (Laughing)
I believe that, and some other things.
But it just doesn’t feel right, and when I talk to other people, they
talk to me in terms of being afraid of commitment or being afraid to get
too involved with other people and a lot of fear-based things, and I really
don’t have the feeling that mine is fear-based or that I’m particularly
confused. I’m just not a monogamous person.
I have the feeling that that’s related in some way to the fact that
I’m a dispersed essence, and also to an affection, a preference that I
have for certain types of interactions. (Laughing) Is that true?
I mean, could something like that ... in my case, is something like that
related to essence? Or do I have monogamous focuses that are just
perfectly fine with that?
ELIAS: I shall express to you, yes, you do hold focuses of essence
in which this expression provides no conflict.
This is the choice of the individual, and in this, I express to you
that there is no element that is wrong with your expression in not aligning
with this mass belief system. This IS a mass belief system, that
you shall acquire a mate within a relationship, and that you shall — in
your physical terms — commit yourself to that individual singularly, and
create a monogamous relationship.
This is entirely a belief system. It is not necessarily the natural
order, so to speak, of your reality. It is not contrary to the natural
order of your reality, but it is not the rule either.
In this, it is the choice of the individual, and in that choice, many
individuals move easily in alignment with the mass belief systems and DO
create a type of monogamous relationship in intimate relationship, and
this provides them with a type of expression objectively that is a contributant
to their value fulfillment in interaction with another individual singularly,
intimately.
But I shall also express to you that this is VERY strongly influenced
by mass belief systems. This moves in the expression of religious
belief systems and is widely held throughout your globe, and is not confined
merely to your western Christian belief systems, but has been in action
and has been held very strongly in the expression of religious belief systems
for many, many, many, many centuries within your physical dimension.
Some individuals within certain focuses choose not to be aligning with
this mass belief system. But I shall express to you also, each time
any individual moves into actions that are contrary or what you may express
to be outside of the mass belief systems within their expression, there
is a creation of conflict, for there is tremendous judgment.
The individuals themselves that are moving outside of the expression
of mass belief systems are also creating judgments upon self, for in some
aspects you also align with the mass belief systems in a reverse type of
action, in which your expression may not be in alignment with the mass
belief system, but your assessment of self shall be, and you shall express
a discounting and a devaluation of self in expressing to yourself that
you are wrong and that you are bad, for you are not aligning with the mass
belief system.
I am expressing to you, it matters not. They are belief systems,
and in this, choices are choices. They are not right or wrong; they
are not good or bad. They are choices for movement through experiences,
and it is merely the expression of your belief systems that color those
expressions within your perception and influence your creation of judgment.
I shall express to you, this is not intrinsic to the choice and expression
of this particular orientation, but within the orientation of soft, many
more focuses, generally speaking, move in the direction of not necessarily
aligning with this particular mass expression of monogamy.
Now; be understanding, I am not expressing that this is an intrinsic
quality of the orientation of soft, for it is not. But within the
creation of the expressions of this particular orientation, within the
design of this particular orientation, it is much more common that individuals
may not be aligning with monogamous relationships
For an element of the orientation of soft is a continuous interaction
of relationships of all types — a continuous interaction with other individuals
and a continuous creation of relationships and exchange with other individuals
— and this is an intrinsic expression of this particular orientation.
Therefore, many focuses that choose the orientation of soft also lean in
the direction of not aligning with the mass belief systems of monogamy.
LISA: Okay. Can I quickly ask a couple of things about the
game?
ELIAS: Yes.
LISA: Okay. Has anybody added the category of trees yet?
If not, can we? (Pause)
ELIAS: Woods.
LISA: Woods?
ELIAS: But you may be offering specific trees, if you are so choosing.
LISA: Specific trees? Okay, for Katie and myself, we wanted
to enter willow as Sumafi. (Pause)
ELIAS: Acceptable.
LISA: Cool. Under entertainers, I believe it’s entertainers,
you had the Allman Brothers as Sumafi. We wanted to enter The Grateful
Dead as Milumet. (Pause)
ELIAS: Acceptable.
LISA: Great! Okay, that’s all. I have a lot more,
but this went way deeper than I thought, so we have no time. (They both
laugh) It’s been great. Thank you.
ELIAS: We shall continue! (Chuckling) I offer great encouragement
to you, and be remembering to be listening to your little creature. (Grinning)
LISA: Okay, I will. Thank you.
ELIAS: (Laughing) To you this day, I offer much affection,
and anticipate our next meeting. I express to you, lovingly, au revoir.
LISA: Au revoir.
Elias departs at 1:54 PM.
FOOTNOTES:
(1) I’ve listed two essence names for Lisa based
on the following:
From session #428, 7/20/99:
KATIE: Cool! And what is her essence name? (Pause)
ELIAS: Essence name, Yaulyn; Y-A-U-L-Y-N. (yaw-lin’)
From session #479, 9/28/99:
LISA: Okay. First I want to know the basic stuff about me
— essence name, I want to confirm. Katie had asked you, and I believe
you said Taulyn, T-A-U-L-Y-N. Is that correct? (Pause)
ELIAS: Yes, you are correct.
