Participants: Mary (Michael) and Rodney (Zacharie).
Elias arrives at 9:42 AM. (Arrival time is 25 seconds)
ELIAS: Good morning!
RODNEY: Good morning, Elias! Good to hear your voice!
ELIAS: And how goes your adventure, my friend?
RODNEY: (Laughing) Enjoyably!
ELIAS: (Chuckling) Very well!
RODNEY: (Laughing) I’m loving it!
My first question to you is, I was going to ask you about an event that
happened to me last weekend, a gust of wind, and I understand that there
was a gust of wind associated with your entrance into a session in England,
and I wondered, did you slam the windows?
ELIAS: (Chuckling) I may express clarification to you that
I incorporated no wind in this action.
RODNEY: You did not?
ELIAS: Ha ha ha! Merely a closing of the windows!
RODNEY: (Laughing) Oh, alright! (Elias chuckles) I
laughed when I heard that!
I had an event occur to me last weekend. It was in the evening,
and I was relaxing before going to bed, and I was out having a glass of
wine and smoking a cigar, and it was very, very quiet outside. It
was a very still summer night, and a feeling came up for me — not a thought
as much as a feeling — as to, I wonder if there really is the consciousness
or the awareness of my deceased parents and family around me as there seems
to be around other people, because I’m still not in the mode of seeing
reality as an unconnected ... I shouldn’t say unconnected. I’m not
used to seeing it as a connected continuum of consciousness, so to speak.
And this feeling came up within me, and no sooner had that question expressed
itself when a gust of wind came up the street and shook every tree from
top to bottom.
I couldn’t help but wonder if my question wasn’t being answered by a
rather dramatic show of energy. Would you comment on this experience
that I had?
ELIAS: And so it was! (Chuckling)
RODNEY: It was a response.
ELIAS: Yes, and I may express to you also that this type of action
occurs quite frequently, in actuality. And you express that you do
not engage encounters of your periphery, and I express to you the inquiry,
if you are not encountering elements of your periphery, what have you experienced?
(Chuckling)
RODNEY: (Laughing) Okay. It’s interesting to me, and
a follow-up on that is, last Wednesday night, after I finished a healing
session ... we have a circle where we engage in hands-on healing exercises,
and I sat in my chair afterwards, and it occurred to me that I felt like
someone was putting their hands on me in a healing way, and the next thing
I knew, I had a sense of my grandmother’s hands resting on my shoulders,
and it was just a delightful moment because she was very dear to me — IS
very dear to me.
I want to ask you about that also because there’s a couple of things
about that event. I still have this issue with me saying to myself,
“Well, that’s just my imagination,” which I’m attempting to let go.
The second part of it is, is she really there, or is it an aspect of
her, or is it ...? I don’t know how ... I guess I really don’t know
how to hold that experience in terms of, is she actually present, or is
there a part of her that is actually present?
ELIAS: I may express to you, there is an energy expression and
what you may identify as an aspect of this individual that has been interactive,
and you have opened yourself, within your expression of energy and your
awareness, to be recognizing of that interaction and experiencing that
interaction.
I may also express to you that what you experience is not the expression
in the identification of your definitions within the confines of your beliefs.
Within this physical dimension, many of you hold religious beliefs that
are associated with individuals and death, so to speak — what is occurring
in the action of death, what occurs after the action of death, where the
individual shall be in location after death, what the individual shall
be — and in all of this, you continue to associate in absolutes, in the
identification of the individual as you have associated with that individual
in physical interaction.
Once you create the choice to be disengaging from this physical dimension,
the expression of you, as the focus which has been physically manifest
in this physical dimension, alters.
Now; I may express to you that there are many, many different types
of actions and expressions and configurations of consciousness that occur
subsequent to disengagement of this physical reality, for there are some
actions associated with this particular physical reality in what you may
term to be a process that is engaged by the individual focuses once disengagement
has occurred.
Now; once the individual moves into the action of transition, the configuration
of the individual focus alters. It is not expressed as singularly
as it had been expressed within a corporeal manifestation.
The design of your physical reality in this dimension is to be manifesting
in an exhibition of corporeal singularity. Therefore, you view yourselves
and each other as singular individuals expressed in one physical manifestation
of body and personality.
I have expressed to you many times, this, in a manner of speaking, is
a type of illusion. It is quite real in relation to your physical
manifestation and your physical experience, but it is also simultaneously
a type of illusion, for it is a direction of attention that creates the
illusion of singularity.
Once you disengage the design of this physical reality and you move
into the action of nonphysical transition, the element of corporeal singularity
begins to dissipate and becomes expressed less and less and less.
This is an automatic action that occurs in conjunction with your shedding
of belief systems and your disengagement of objective awareness.
In this, the individual no longer holds their attention in this singular
fashion ... which may be associated with your physical dimension.
Therefore, you, within your continuance of participating in physical manifestation,
continue to view a particular individual in a singular manner.
You may create a thought associated with the individual that you identify
as your grandmother, and you view one singular individual. You identify
one singular personality. You express that identification as a specific,
singular person, and this is how you view and associate with that individual
manifestation of that focus.
The perspective of the focus itself is expressed quite differently,
for it becomes less and less and less singularly focused. Its attention
is not held in the creation of one singular expression of form and personality.
Now; this is not to say that aspects of that focus and their energy
may not be interactive with you, but it is not interactive with you in
the same manner as you define within your thoughts.
RODNEY: Okay. It’s an aspect. It’s a part of ... when
you say aspect, it’s kind of like a part of that individual’s energy ...
ELIAS: Yes.
RODNEY: ... is connecting with me.
ELIAS: Yes, and your identification of it....
RODNEY: Is as if it were singular.
ELIAS: Correct, for you are identifying and recognizing the familiarity
of the energy expression, and therefore you associate that with the singularity
of the person....
RODNEY: That I knew.
ELIAS: Yes.
RODNEY: Okay. That gives me a much stronger feeling as to
what’s going on.
ELIAS: This is not to be discounting of your experience, for it
is quite real!
RODNEY: No, I didn’t get that it was.
My sense is that the individual who I knew singularly is presently ...
I use the word dispersed. There’s a dispersion of that focus’s attention
currently, whereas at one point, there was a great deal of attention focused
in this reality, prior to her disengagement, but at the moment, that attention
has been placed elsewhere, although a part of it still remains.
ELIAS: Correct.
RODNEY: Okay. No, I do not hear you discounting that part
because it’s only a part. I don’t hear that. It’s very real
to me.
ELIAS: Quite, and it is quite real in itself!
RODNEY: Okay. Thank you! (Elias chuckles) Yes, as
you are quite real!
ELIAS: Quite! (Chuckling, and Rodney laughs)
RODNEY: Speaking of my family members, I had a dream, perhaps
less than a month ago, and at the end of the dream ... it’s an important
dream, and I don’t have it all written down clearly in front of me, but
I believe it had to do with my perception of essence, and I say that because
part of the dream involved like a mountain ridge, and a lot of the land
had been excavated, and there was actually a very, very large piece of
machinery like you see in a gravel pit, where they sift the sand, and there
was also a dam in the middle of the mountain, so that the water was not
running out of the mountain.
But at one point, I was showing the property to a man who had come to
the house. I think perhaps he wanted to purchase it; I’m not sure.
But in walking the land, I walked too close to the edge of a sharp drop-off,
and I was fearful of rolling off the mountain, so to speak, and at that
point, I believe it was my wife, or this man, we somehow got into a house,
but the house began to teeter, as if the house was going to fall off the
edge of the mountain, and it did. I was able to get out of the house
in time, but I believe it was my wife who was inside the house, and she
went down the mountain with the house, and at the bottom of the mountain,
the house broke apart, and it was no longer my wife. I thought it
was my father, but I’m not certain of this. I came out of the wreckage,
and there was something to do with a railroad and a train.
But the significant part of the dream for me is that the man walked
to the other side of the valley, and he walked into the mountain and disappeared,
and when I ran up there, I saw my father’s face — or I thought it was my
father — in relief, like in silhouette, coming out of the stone, and I
ran up and kissed its cheek and said, I love you, I love you, and the face
slid down into the ground and disappeared.
I was very moved by this dream, and it occurred to me that it was an
illustration to me of perhaps my father’s essence, or energy moving into
essence. I’m a little unsure of that interpretation. A second
aspect of this is that at one point, the person was my wife, and at another
point, the person was my father, so there’s a confusion here as to who
the person actually was, and I’m wondering if there isn’t a relationship
between the woman who was my wife and my father, and why I am seeing them
as alternating in the dream. Could you comment on my interpretations?
ELIAS: I may express to you an acknowledgment of your interpretation
and your identification of what you express as the movement into essence,
so to speak. I may also express to you, the reason that you create
this interchangeableness in imagery between the identification of your
father and the individual of your wife is to be expressing to yourself
an identification of intimacy in your relationship with this individual
that may have been expressed within some time frameworks and may not have
been expressed within other time frameworks.
Therefore, you create a changeableness in the imagery that is presented,
creating specific manifestations of individuals in imagery to be associated
with particular types of actions or associations of intimacy.
In the moments that your father appears to be your wife, you are identifying
to yourself those time frameworks in which there is an expression of intimacy
which is recognized, and within other time frameworks, you express the
identification of your father as your father, which is your association
with the separation between yourself and this individual.
You also image in this manner to be offering yourself an identification
of changeability, so to speak, or the lack of absoluteness in a particular
expression or manifestation. This allows you, within a feeling association,
to be recognizing the lack of singularity of expression of this individual.
Now; let me also express to you in a clarification of your identification
in interpretation of this imagery — that you feel the information presented
that this individual is “moving into essence,” so to speak.
Let us define this movement, for this is a confusing subject for many
individuals within your physical dimension, as you view essence, and you
view yourselves as a focus of essence. I have stated many times,
you are not a part of essence. You are all of essence, and this creates
confusion within your physical associations.
In this, many individuals grapple with this concept, and create the
thought process that they are in actuality a part of essence which is manifest
into a focus in physical experience and form, and as they disengage from
this physical dimension and experience, they shall be re-absorbed, so to
speak, into the “entity” of essence.
Now; in this, I have also stated, you do not create what you identify
as a re-absorbing into essence, for you are not separated from essence
in your manifestation. The distinction is attention. Your attention
is held in the manifestation of this focus and of the primary aspect of
this focus.
Now; in the wondrous ability of creativity of essence in consciousness,
you express the ability to focus many attentions simultaneously in a manner
that creates a singularity of each attention, IF you are so choosing, and
within the expressions of manifestations in many physical dimensions, and
in some nonphysical areas of consciousness, you allow yourself to divide
your attention in a fashion that creates this appearance of singularity
to provide yourself with an uninterrupted flow of exploration and experience.
In the action of disengaging any particular focus of manifestation,
you create a de-focusing of that particular attention.
RODNEY: Upon disengagement?
ELIAS: Subsequent to disengagement; not necessarily upon the moment
of disengagement.
Now; in this action, you are not dissipating the identification of personality
expression of that particular focus of attention. That focus of attention
is not absorbed into some elusive, “greater” attention. It is merely
allowed to not be singularly focused as one expression of attention.
This be the reason that I have offered many times the expression of
identifying the functions of your physical manifestation as a type of example
that you may offer to yourselves in more clarity in your understanding
of this concept, so to speak, for your physical body and your physical
expression of you may be creating many, many, many functions simultaneously,
and if you are so choosing, you do hold the ability to allow your attention
to be incorporating many functions simultaneously and not become confused,
or even overwhelmed.
In this, each of the directions of your attention are not literally
what you may separate or segment within yourself as a “part” of you.
RODNEY: No, they’re all existing simultaneously.
ELIAS: Correct.
RODNEY: It’s kinda like, if I may interject this, it’s kinda like
me driving a car, listening to the radio, and enjoying a cup of coffee
all at the same time.
ELIAS: Correct. You are performing many functions.
Your attention may be held in several directions simultaneously, but each
of these attentions are not necessarily segmented as separations of you.
They are all you creating many different actions in different directions
of attention.
RODNEY: Okay, I understand.
ELIAS: Therefore, in the operation of your vehicle and the engagement
of consuming your coffee, in a lack of separation, the coffee and the experience
of consuming it is not absorbed into you as an entity, or the vehicle is
not absorbed into you as the creator of the vehicle.
RODNEY: Alright....
ELIAS: These are ideas of separation that you attach to essence.
RODNEY: That I what? Would you repeat that last sentence?
ELIAS: You attach these ideas to essence in the association of
separation.
You view essence as the creator of you, which creates a separation,
and you view yourselves to be a part, which implies a separation, and at
disengagement, you view yourself, as that separated part, to be re-absorbed
into the creator, which is the essence, and in actuality, what occurs is
merely a movement of attention.
RODNEY: Right; understood.
ELIAS: And this is what occurs within the action of your father
and what you are offering yourself in your imagery as information, for
this is also beneficial to you in relation to self.
RODNEY: The imagery ... in a sense, he has become the mountain,
or....
ELIAS: It is all interchangeable.
RODNEY: Right. It’s kinda like the attention has been diffused
into the mountain.
ELIAS: Or into ANY exhibition of ANY form.
RODNEY: Okay, okay ... and as the attention is withdrawn from
the singularity of his individuality when he was alive on this ... in this
dimension....
ELIAS: That is retained. That is continued, but in a manner
of speaking, in physical terms, it is expanded, for there is a dropping
of the veils of separation. The attention is not divided in that
expression of singularity in the manner that it was divided in the manifestation
in your physical dimension.
RODNEY: Okay. I get a sense of what you’re talking about....
ELIAS: Ha ha ha ha!
RODNEY: I’m gonna have to sit with it for a while! It’s
kinda like it’s a continuation of our last discussion.
ELIAS: And it is!
RODNEY: Yes, which I have been opening to.
ELIAS: And this be the reason that you present yourself with this
type of imagery.
RODNEY: Right! Okay.
ELIAS: For you are continuing in your exploration of these concepts
concerning the lack of separation....
RODNEY: May I interrupt you for just a second?
ELIAS: You may.
RODNEY: As I turn over my tape. Thank you.
ELIAS: You are quite welcome.
In this, as you continue your exploration of the lack of separation
and the concepts of perception, you also are incorporating imagery to be
offering you more information in a manner that moves you into a different
type of understanding of this information, not merely a thought-oriented
expression of this information.
RODNEY: Yes, I get a sense of that. It’s kinda like the
real information is in how I feel about it, because I have a sense that
it’s ... no way am I gonna put it into words that easily.
ELIAS: Quite.
RODNEY: My understanding is gonna be in how I feel about it.
ELIAS: Quite.
RODNEY: That ... oh, darn it. Excuse me a second.
ELIAS: Very well. (Pause)
RODNEY: To this end, I would like to go back to the last session
we had, and in it, you made a statement, and I’ll read it back to you:
“I may offer you an exercise with an object, and this may be applied
to individuals also. I may also express to you the information that
even the other individuals that you interact with, you are creating.” (reference
)
At which point I interrupted you, and it’s kinda like I slap my hand
for interrupting you, because I do not believe that you ever got back to
the exercise that you were going to offer me, and I was wondering if you
would pick up on that, as to what you were going to discuss by the meaning
of that exercise.
ELIAS: In allowing yourself the recognition that you are creating
the expression of the other individual, you may allow yourself to be playful
in an exercise of viewing the other individual as you.
In your interaction, as you are engaging another individual and you
begin experiencing the expressions that you identify in negativity, so
to speak, or that create confusion or conflict within yourself and your
interaction, you may allow yourself, temporarily and playfully, to view
the other individual no longer as another individual, but as yourself,
as a projection of yourself.
Therefore, allow yourself to listen and receive all of the information
and expressions that are being projected to you by the other individual
as though you yourself were projecting them to yourself. This may
offer you a distraction in your intensity of perpetuating the conflict.
It may also offer you an opportunity to view your interaction through
a different perception, for if you are viewing the other individual’s interaction
with you as YOU interacting with you, even momentarily, you may begin asking
yourself different questions! (Grinning)
RODNEY: (Laughing) I suspect I will!
ELIAS: (Chuckling) This may be helpful also as an exercise
in turning your attention to self, for if the other individual is you also,
you have no place to be turning your attention, so to speak, EXCEPT yourself.
RODNEY: Right, and of course, it widens my concept of accountability
and responsibility.
ELIAS: Let me also express to you, Zacharie....
RODNEY: It also would heighten my sense of oneness in consciousness
with the other individual.
ELIAS: Yes. And let me express to you, a very large aspect
of expression in duplicity, which is VERY influencing of your perception
and the perceptions of many individuals within your physical dimension,
is the identification of kindness — your definition and your association
with this word and this defined action, so to speak, of kindness — for
in this one term, there are created tremendous judgments and tremendous
expectations.
This may also be helpful in your interactions in which you encounter
conflict through the expression of anger, for a very large aspect of the
expression of duplicity is manifest in the association with this term of
kindness.
You hold expectations of self to be expressing yourself in a manner
of kindness, and you hold expectations of other individuals to be exhibiting
the same, and if you are not, or if they are not, there are tremendous
expressions of judgment which are displayed, and this creates a tremendous
expression of conflict within your physical reality.
In this, you may allow yourself to view the manner in which some of
the expressions that you deem to be positive and good may also be quite
influential in creating the very expressions that you deem to be conflicting
and negative.
This is the movement of this belief system of duplicity in its tremendous
expression of camouflage, in that you may be creating intense expressions
of conflict, and you may be creating your affectingness of dominoes, so
to speak, in the association of ONE definition that you view to be good.
RODNEY: Okay. Can I ask you this? I suspect that this
action of duplicity in the form of kindness arises very subtly in my actions,
and I’ll speak for myself. What can I do to open, to recognize this
for what it is in the moment that it happens?
ELIAS: Allow yourself to be noticing. This creates an awareness,
and in noticing, allow yourself to be recognizing your own definitions.
In an interaction, even without a thought, you create an association
with actions, assessing them to be kind or unkind, within yourself and
within the expressions of other individuals.
RODNEY: So what you’re suggesting is to simply notice my actions,
and to see when and where this is happening.
ELIAS: Yes. Noticing is a tremendous tool to be widening
your awareness.
In this, you may be noticing the choices and actions and interactions
of other individuals, and your response and your evaluation of another
individual’s choices, be they kind or unkind.
RODNEY: Right. Thank you, sir.
ELIAS: For there is much action which occurs in association to
this definition.
RODNEY: Of kindness.
ELIAS: Yes.
RODNEY: Yes, I have a sense of what you’re talking about, and
I very much agree. (Elias chuckles) I am such a good person! (Cracking
up)
ELIAS: And so you are, my friend! (Grinning)
RODNEY: I am such a duplicitous person! (Laughing)
ELIAS: (Chuckling) And this be the nature of your physical
reality throughout your dimension!
RODNEY: Can I move on to another couple of dream elements?
ELIAS: You may.
RODNEY: Elias, I have been dreaming about snakes for an entire
lifetime. Many of those dreams, when I was younger, were pretty scary.
I wouldn’t dream about one snake; I would dream about many snakes.
I had a dream several days ago, and my notes are as follows.
I’m on a South Sea Island, and I have to be careful going outside from
my cave because there’s a snake out there lying on a very long elevated
thing, a branch of some kind, and it’s so big that I can’t see the end
of it, and it’s maybe 50 feet off the ground, and I have to keep an eye
on it to make sure it doesn’t move. All of a sudden, I’m aware that
my hand and my arm are being devoured by a very large snake, maybe five
or six inches across, and they end up cutting the snake off of my arm in
order to save me. I have a sense that my children were there, and
my woman, and being devoured by this snake was rather painful, and it woke
me up, but they did save my arm.
What am I offering myself in imagery here? I don’t know.
Although there have been many, many snakes in my dreams, I’m not sure I’ve
ever been bit by one of them, and this was being bit in a big way.
ELIAS: And what is your impression concerning this imagery?
RODNEY: Well, I’m aware that a snake is a symbol for a powerful
energy, in that it signifies a form of awakening or a quickening.
It’s an initiation of sorts into something different from what preceded
it. Now, this is not the first time I’ve dreamt of a snake that was
huge. I’ve dreamt of those before, big enough to be carried on a
railroad car. My sense is that the snake stands for unknown knowledge.
The snake stands for something that I’m unfamiliar with. It’s an
unknown, and it’s coming into my life, and it’s going to create a significant
change in me or in my life. The fact that the snake bit me on my
hand signifies for me that it has to do with my productivity in the world
and what I do with my hands, and perhaps with the action of healing, which
I do engage in with other people, and that involves my hands. Would
you comment on that?
ELIAS: I shall express to you, Zacharie, quite simply, within
your creation of imagery throughout your focus, the actions that are engaged
associated with the snakes are your creation of imagery in symbology to
unfamiliarity, and your response to that unfamiliarity.
The snake itself, or the image of the snake itself, is your symbology
that you have created in association with yourself and fear. You
image your expressions of fear in association with this creature.
RODNEY: Fear of the unknown, of that which is not familiar?
ELIAS: Correct. At times you create this imagery of this
snake in association with fear in expressions that ARE known. At
times you also create this imagery in association with unfamiliar expressions.
The snake itself is the representation of fear itself. The actions
incorporated with the snake, or that the snake may manifest, are the representation
of the associations with the fear, or in your terms, the “reason” for the
expression of the fear.
In this situation, it is the recognition of unfamiliarity, and the intensity
of uncomfortableness that is associated with that unfamiliarity.
RODNEY: Okay. In this particular instance, I was bitten.
It was attempting to devour me.
ELIAS: And you are moving into quite unfamiliar territory presently,
are you not?
RODNEY: Yes.
ELIAS: In your movement in opening to your periphery and widening
your awareness, offering yourself more information and assimilating more
information, you are moving your awareness into quite unfamiliar areas,
and this creates an air, so to speak, of unpredictability, which also creates
an expression of a lack of control, and that creates a sense of fear.
RODNEY: Okay, I’m glad you mentioned the word control. It
occurred to me recently that when one attempts or when one is in the business
of controlling something, there is a firm belief in place that that which
is being controlled is in some way out of control or dangerous or whatever.
ELIAS: Ah, yes! That which is out of control, within your
beliefs, is unpredictable, and holds the potential ...
RODNEY: To be hurtful.
ELIAS: ... to be hurtful and dangerous.
RODNEY: Right. Now, I had an interesting experience a couple
of weeks ago. I thought that I would like to have another bookcase
in my apartment, but getting the time to build it or buy it and move it
presented problems, and instead of focusing on the problems, I chose to
allow this bookcase to come into my life, and I let it go at that, but
I definitely set the intention that I would like to have that bookcase
in my apartment, and yesterday, less than two weeks later, the bookcase
not only materialized, it materialized at a very low cost, and it was already
assembled and it was exactly what I wanted, and it was delivered free of
charge to my apartment. So it comes to me or what I get from that
is, allowing things to happen is a very, very powerful movement in consciousness.
ELIAS: Quite.
RODNEY: And does not require control.
ELIAS: And you are correct.
RODNEY: We’re nearing an end here, I believe. I’d like to
go back to the first evening I met you, which was back in May, 1998, and
Vic entitled that session “Strange Times,” and I’m sure you remember that
I slept through most of the session. (Elias chuckles) I’m reading
it with much joy, and you made this statement in it:
“You are leery of plunging yourselves directly into the middle of your
Bermuda Triangle within your own home, but this triangle holds wondrous
elements, and within it you hold wondrous creativity.” (reference )
I would like to pose the question ... that suggests to me that we actually
open to those elements within our own home, within our own being, that
are indeed fearful. Is this what you’re suggesting here? Would
you care to elaborate on my interpretation of that?
ELIAS: You ARE opening to these expressions. This is the
action of this shift in consciousness.
RODNEY: Okay, okay. I thought you might say that.
ELIAS: And this is what you are engaging, and associated with
this action is unfamiliarity, which you respond to unfamiliarity with fear
and confusion, at times conflict, and even trauma.
RODNEY: Okay. I’d like to ask you one more short question.
ELIAS: Very well.
RODNEY: I woke up the other morning, realizing that I’d had this
long dream, and at different times during the dream, it appeared that I
was designing an object, and at the end of the dream — or at least that’s
my sense of it — the object came together, and the object was a series
of rings, or discs, I should say, and between each pair of discs there
was a slender glass tube filled with a particular color, and there was
an array of these, like one pair on top of another pair on top of another
pair, each having a different tube in a different place with a different
color, and at the end of the dream, they all came together, so that there
were all these tubes of color suspended between these two discs, and then
they came together like a ball.
I have a note here that this all occurred near my kitchen sink, and
I have a remembrance of an event the evening before I dreamt this that
I had been looking at a painting in a dimly lit room, and in looking at
the painting, I saw a painting of a woman standing, looking out a window,
but when I looked at the painting, I saw superimposed on the painting another
painting of a man’s face, and I thought, one way to open to unofficial
data is to not perceive in such an absolute way, but to allow the images
to suggest what they suggest, and I thought, wouldn’t it be nice to create
some kind of an object that one could look at that would promote this?
Then I laughed at myself because that’s kinda what people do when they
look into tea leaves and tell the future. But I wondered if you might
comment on all of these impressions, especially my creation of this object
within my dream.
ELIAS: Which is the object of your attention presently, in what
you are associating with in relation to your wonderment at how you create
elements of your reality, and your ability to alter those creations, and
your viewing of different configurations of energy within the same object.
You express the idea of tea leaves and viewing different expressions
within their configuration. You also allow yourselves this action
in viewing your clouds within your sky, and you hold this ability to be
creating this same action within all that occupies your physical reality
in solidity, and I continue to express this to you.
You are correct — as you allow yourself to relax your attention, and
allow yourself to view the energy of all that you create within your reality,
you may also view that your reality is not quite as solid as it physically
appears to be.
This may be helpful to you also in your assimilation of the information
concerning perception and the power of your perception, that you hold the
ability, by merely altering your perception, to also be in actuality reconfiguring
physical matter, and if you may be reconfiguring physical matter, you may
also be reconfiguring the energy expressions of all other designs within
your reality.
RODNEY: Are you saying that when I looked at the picture, and
in relaxing my attention, I created through my perception a physical image?
The image was there?
ELIAS: Yes.
RODNEY: Of the man’s head?
ELIAS: Yes.
RODNEY: Thank you very much, sir.
ELIAS: You are quite welcome, sir.
RODNEY: I have enjoyed this so much!
ELIAS: Ha ha!
RODNEY: Thank you, again and again and again!
ELIAS: And as always, I express to you tremendous affection, and
a reciprocation of enjoyment of our conversations.
RODNEY: Thank you, thank you, thank you! I look forward
to our next meeting.
ELIAS: And I also, my friend. To you this day, in great
lovingness and encouragement in energy, au revoir.
RODNEY: Love to you also. Goodbye.
Elias departs at 11:08 AM.
