Participants: Mary (Michael) and Letty (Castille).
Elias arrives at 10:25 a.m. (Arrival time is 18 seconds)
ELIAS: Good morning, Castille!
LETTY: Good morning, Elias! I’m so excited that I was able
to get this session! (Elias chuckles) We are due for an objective
talk.
ELIAS: Quite.
LETTY: I’m going to start with my physical creations. Well,
first, let me check my notes, because I had a very strange night last night,
and I want to see if you can help me figure it out. I don’t know
if I was choking in my dream state and I just don’t remember, but I woke
up with such a difficulty breathing. I haven’t had it this bad in
a while, and I can’t figure out what it was, and I’ve also been having
problems lately with my exercise in relaxation. I feel anxious.
ELIAS: Very well, and may you identify objectively, what is the
nature of your distraction?
LETTY: Well, the last couple of days, it has been Leezar.
He wants a career change, and I want to give him some space and the right
kind of energy, and at the same time, I’m feeling a little selfish, and
at least giving my opinion. So I know that’s part of it, and I’m
trying to figure out where I want to go. I like moving, but I’m the
kind of person that’s used to knowing where I’m going and when I’m going,
and right now, I’m trying to just kind of go with the flow, but it’s like
I can’t see anything yet. I know I’m okay, but I still have anxiety.
ELIAS: I am understanding. In this, attempt in this now
to be identifying what creates the tension in this expression of anxiety.
You have identified the physical situations which you recognize as triggering
this type of response within yourself. Now, what are the elements
or the aspects of the beliefs that are influencing of your perception that
create a contribution to this tension?
LETTY: Well, I feel that part of it is my automatic responses
of believing ... first of all, I love change, and I feel like I need to
make a change in my life. The control issue, of course, hasn’t quite
gone away yet, though I try to ... I recognize it, but I know I’m not assimilating
that acceptance quite yet, and I’m still fighting myself and judging myself
on that issue.
ELIAS: You are correct, and this is the identification of the
influence which is creating the tension and the expression of anxiety in
both situations — the identification of control.
In relation to your interaction with Leezar, it is a combination of
your expression of personal responsibility, which is directly related to
the expression of control, in creating a feeling within yourself of an
underlying lack of control in association with the choices that other individuals
create.
As you involve yourself with other individuals objectively, at times
they may be creating choices that you view to be affecting of you directly
or indirectly, and in that viewing of the affectingness of other individuals’
choices, you automatically assess the manner in which you might proceed,
and create a comparison as to the proceeding of the other individual, and
as it may differ from your action, this creates a perception of instability
within you, which is another type of expression in the identification of
a feeling of lack of control.
As to the identification of your own creation, you do move in a direction
of change quite frequently, but in the manner that you hold an objective
awareness of your direction of change, therefore offering yourself an expression
of control in the situation. As you experience uncertainty as to
the direction that you are allowing yourself to be moving into, you experience
this underlying expression of a lack of control, and this creates a physical
tension within you, for it is also an aspect of fear.
Therefore, as this aspect of fear is being created underlyingly, it
is being experienced objectively in an exhibition of tension and anxiety,
and you objectively are attempting to be engaging your exercise of relaxation
and are viewing yourself to be unsuccessful, for the expression of fear
continues, but it is unidentified objectively.
At times, Castille, you may be engaging your relaxation exercise and
not offering yourself an objective recognition of what may be influencing
your expression of tension, and you may be, in your terms, successful in
the engagement of your exercise. Within other time frameworks, you
may not be as successful, for you are attempting to gain your attention
and express information to yourself.
You, in this time framework and for a time period pastly, have been
engaging yourself in addressing to your individual issues in the expression
of personal responsibility and your automatic responses, and you have been
offering yourself a continuous expression of input, so to speak, in identifying
your own responses and behaviors in relation to these subjects, allowing
yourself to objectively recognize your movement within this particular
choice of direction.
Therefore, as you continue to be addressing to the expressions of personal
responsibility and control, you also continue to offer yourself objective
examples of your participation in those types of automatic responses.
Therefore, essentially, it would be defeating of your purpose to be
allowing yourself to respond to your relaxation exercise in some of these
examples, and not offer yourself the recognition objectively of why you
have created this type of a response physically.
This is the challenge that you are engaging in this time framework —
turning your attention to self and occupying your attention in what YOU
are creating and the choices that YOU are engaging, and NOT concerning
yourself with the choices that other individuals are creating, while continuing
to be interactive with other individuals.
As you are aware through communication with Cindel, you and Cindel are
creating an energy exchange between the two of you, in relation to directedness
of attentions. You have consistently moved in your experiences, holding
your attention in the actions and movement in relation to this shift in
consciousness, allowing yourself to view objectively your participation
and how you are creating movement in relation to this shift in consciousness,
or how you are inserting this shift in consciousness into your individual
objective reality. Cindel has held attention in the expression of
concentration of objective attention upon self.
In this time framework, you are offering a beneficial expression of
energy to each other — in interaction subjectively and objectively, in
exchanging directions temporarily to be creating more of an expression
of balance — and each of you is offering energy to the other to be creating
of an ease, so to speak, that neither of you necessarily offer to yourselves
in other areas of attention than the one area that you are already focused
upon.
You, [Castille], offer yourself an ease in movement in relation to the
identifications of different exhibitions, in objective terms, of this shift
in consciousness.
You are quite interactive in dream state and offering yourself the objective
participation of dream activity, allowing you an objective remembrance
of this activity. You also offer to yourself a clarity in your ability
to be translating the subjective activity within dream state into an objective
understanding within waking state. You also present yourself with
an awareness of movement of energy — interactions with other expressions
of consciousness — in objective waking state. You allow yourself
an expression within your ability to be creating interpretations in relation
to the movement that other individuals are engaging in relation to this
shift.
But you create challenges in the expression of turning your attention
to self, and not occupying your attention in the participation with other
individuals, and reinforcing your action of personal responsibility as
it relates to other individuals.
Conversely, Cindel has created a direction of attention within self
in which this particular expression of personal responsibility has been
addressed to in an ongoing manner, and Cindel has created a movement through
this issue of personal responsibility.
In this, the attention is directed in a concentration upon self, and
many times there is a challenge created in the interpretation of movement
in relation to the shift in consciousness as it is exhibited individually
within herself, for her attention is held in individual choices and movement
of the expression of acceptance of self, and in that, many times she is
not allowing herself to view the relationship of that movement to the insertion
of this shift in consciousness.
Therefore, it is quite efficient that the two of you exchange energy
in an offering of helpfulness to each other, in allowing yourselves to
be turning your attention temporarily from the direction that has been
familiar or has become familiar to you into an area that allows you to
widen your awareness more so, and is quite consistent with the movement
of this shift in a broader sense, so to speak.
LETTY: Hmm. Okay. Well, I need to concentrate a little
bit more. I need help! (Laughing)
ELIAS: Ha ha ha ha ha!
LETTY: After last night ... but I understand, and I do realize
that sometimes I try so hard to recognize that I overlook the obvious.
ELIAS: Quite.
LETTY: So I need to not take it so hard sometimes. See,
every once in a while, I still get very upset with myself for creating
this type of physical affectingness.
ELIAS: Quite, and in this, you merely reinforce the action.
Let me also express to you, allow yourself to be recognizing objectively
how often you are expressing seriousness
within your focus.
Now; understand that I am not expressing to you that being serious objectively
is bad or wrong. What I AM expressing to you is to be viewing the
frequency of your seriousness, and allowing yourself to recognize that
the expression of your seriousness many times moves in association with
your identification of absolutes, and the solidity or the tremendous importance
that you place upon certain situations.
As you allow yourself to view the motivation for your seriousness, you
may also allow yourself to turn your perception and incorporate an expression
of playfulness and fun, recognizing that your movement through this focus
is an exploration. It is an adventure. It does not incorporate
cosmic consequences! (Chuckling)
LETTY: (Laughing) Yes, and I was going to ask about that,
as a matter of fact, because Cindel told me that you mentioned that she
was starting to see a different aspect of me, and it’s interesting because
when she noticed that, I do remember that I was having more fun, and I
wasn’t going through so much of this internal trauma, but there’s still
something. I’m still moving. I didn’t stop it, did I?
ELIAS: No. You are continuing. You are also allowing
yourself examples objectively of your individual automatic responses in
familiar expressions, and how easily you create these automatic responses
in this expression of seriousness.
LETTY: Okay. Well, I want to go back to my first question
now. Prior to the last couple of days, I did experience a lot of
other physical expressions, like a few days where my legs would just itch
tremendously. I had no bites or anything, but I just could not stop
the itching. I poked my hand with a very sharp knife and made a hole
in it, although I created wonderfully, because I didn’t want to bleed —
I didn’t want a mess — so I made the hole in my hand, but it didn’t bleed
very much. I also cut myself a lot ... and I know I don’t like to
cook, but sometimes I think I go too far! (Laughing)
ELIAS: (Chuckling) Express to me, Castille, what is your
impression as to why you are creating these physical experiences?
LETTY: Well, I didn’t put a lot of trust in myself, but my first
impression, obviously, is noticing what I’m trying to tell myself.
I’ve been working on changing the expression of having difficulty breathing
to notice myself differently. Actually, I don’t think I have problems
breathing, but it’s some kind of an attention-getter, but sometimes what
happens is that I focus on taking care of it ... oh, wait a minute!
I just answered myself. It happened the day I fell. It was
to stop my track of thinking.
ELIAS: Ha ha ha! Very good, Castille!
LETTY: Oh, okay! That makes me go back to the kitchen!
ELIAS: Ha ha! And you may also recognize that you are correct
in your exploration and experimentation with different types of physical
expressions that you view may possibly be incorporated as replacement for
the physical exhibition that you create presently to be gaining your attention.
Now; let me express to you, (chuckling) in quite physical objective
terms, this may be incorporating some dangerous expressions!
LETTY: I know! Watch out for those knives! (Elias laughs)
It’s kinda funny, because when I saw it go into my hand, I said, no, I
don’t want to bleed. I had fun, though! It was exciting for
me.
ELIAS: And you DO hold the ability to be manipulating your energy
quite efficiently!
Now; look to this example, for it is significant. You have offered
yourself an example of creating a physical action, and expressing a direct
objective manipulation of energy to NOT be engaging an automatic action
associated with the physical expression that you chose. You have
punctured your hand, but you have expressed that you wish not to bleed.
Now; you have offered yourself a validation and an exhibition, in physical
terms, of your ability to manipulate energy in the manner in which you
choose, even in a situation that appears to be contrary to the rules of
your reality.
In this, you may also engage this type of action in relation to other
creations of physical affectingnesses.
LETTY: Did I help ... two days ago, the elevator in our building
stopped halfway. Something electrical happened, and when it stopped,
my first concentration was, I do not want to get stuck. I need to
go to my meeting. And then it kind of continued.
ELIAS: Yes. You have manipulated energy in creating this
action.
LETTY: It felt good! I need to practice that one more.
Wonderful! (Elias chuckles) Alright, speaking about my dream imagery,
I have a few dreams I want to talk to you about. I’m going to combine
two of them because maybe they concentrate on my seriousness.
I dream a lot about work and people at work. One of my dreams,
in a similar sense to what I actually do, was about selling purses.
I was having a meeting and I was trying to teach my people how to sell,
and then all of a sudden, it shifted to one of my coworkers and to a very
poor neighborhood with unpaved streets, and I was talking to this guy about
cleaning the streets because they looked dirty.
I do notice, in some dreams, that I pull up some of the frustrations
I have on a day-to-day basis at work, and I exaggerate them a little bit.
I was having problems interpreting this, but I think part of it is maybe
about not doing this objectively and causing conflict with other people
on an objective basis, and so I do it in my dreams?
ELIAS: At times, yes, you are correct. (Pause)
LETTY: The other one was a lot nicer. I was having a surprise
party for somebody, and I was organizing it and giving orders, which I
love to give orders! (Elias chuckles) That’s all I remember.
ELIAS: (Chuckling) I shall express to you, Castille, you
image many scenarios within your dream state in the objective expression
of your work environment, so to speak, as this is objectively familiar
to you, and as I have stated previously, your objective and subjective
awarenesses move in harmony with each other.
Therefore, what you are creating objectively, you are also engaging
subjectively, and as you engage your subjective awareness in an objective
translation, you choose to be imaging this recognition of harmony in expressing
the imagery in familiar terms, in which you occupy much of your objective
attention within waking state. Therefore, you present the imagery
of this particular environment.
Now; as to the memory of expressing orders, so to speak, within a festive
atmosphere, allow yourself to be engaging a thought process now of what
you and I have been expressing within this discussion.
LETTY: That I need to stop being so serious!
ELIAS: Yes! (Grinning)
You have offered yourself imagery in an expression to be giving to yourself,
objectively, imagery that expresses the seriousness and the playfulness
simultaneously, and you have expressed this in a manner which allows you
to view how unnecessary it may be to be incorporating that seriousness
at times — and how you may be interrupting of an easier flow of energy
— in association with playfulness.
LETTY: I will pay more attention to that, yes. I want to
have more fun, definitely!
ELIAS: Ha ha ha ha ha!
LETTY: Okay. I had another dream that I want to say was
another focus. I believe it was in France in kind of an artist’s
apartment, and I had a girlfriend, and we went to meet somebody, and of
course, he didn’t look the same, but it was Leezar. She was supposed
to meet him to see if they like hit it off or something, and I was just
going along for the ride, but then he and I ended up in a relationship,
and it turned out to be very affectionate, and it was wonderful!
But it didn’t quite feel like a dream. It felt like another focus
that I’ve had with him, with the same type of relationship.
ELIAS: You are correct, and this is also — for your noticing —
what may be identified as a projection through consciousness, allowing
you to view the interactions of another focus rather than merely an objective
interpretation of subjective movement, creating imagery within a dream.
LETTY: I think I’ve ... well, I haven’t succeeded objectively,
but maybe subjectively I have. I’ve been trying to connect with a
future focus to help me ... I was going to say, to help me see if I’m doing
it the right way, but a future focus in a time framework in which the shift
in consciousness is already more in place.
So, I guess I’m asking my other focuses to help me with acceptance,
and again, in reading the transcripts, it makes so much sense when you
explain to people about recognizing it as a part of the process, but what
really counts is the actual assimilating of that acceptance of myself.
ELIAS: Correct.
LETTY: So, is there a focus that I’ve been working on that would
help me? I mean, am I on the right track?
ELIAS: Yes.
In this, you may be engaging this activity within your dream state,
or you may also be allowing yourself this type of interaction within the
time frameworks in which you engage your relaxation exercise, which may
be beneficial to you in more than one expression, for it shall be distracting
of your attention, which shall be beneficial in the continued expression
of your relaxation, and also allow you the opportunity to be engaging interaction
with another focus, therefore offering yourself information as to that
which you seek.
LETTY: Okay. Well, Elias, I do have one crystal ball question!
ELIAS: Ha ha ha ha ha!
LETTY: Right now with Leezar’s energy, what are the probabilities,
based on his concentration presently, regarding where he is moving?
He wants to leave the company, he wants to go to Europe for a whole
year, and of course, that’s where I feel affected. There’s another
company that continues to be building up, but again, I guess that I am
taking personal responsibility, by saying that I don’t think he should
go with that one. But obviously ... and I am working on not concentrating
on him, you know, so it’s only his energy.
ELIAS: I am understanding.
I shall express to you that this individual presently is engaging an
expression of confusion, and therefore is also vacillating between different
potential choices, but has not in actuality directed his attention into
one expression yet.
As to your participation in this situation, I may express to you, once
again, quite strongly, that you turn your attention to self and allow yourself
to not engage concern regarding the possible choices of Leezar. This
is HIS reality. Allow yourself to be concerning yourself with YOUR
reality.
LETTY: (Sighing) Okay....
ELIAS: Let me express to you, Castille, I am understanding of
the thought process that occurs within many individuals as I express statements
such as I have just offered to you, and the expression of the thought of,
“Yes, I must be turning my attention to self, but I am experiencing an
interaction with another individual, and this is influencing of my choices
and of my focus also.”
In this, I express to you, the other individual’s choices are affecting
of you as you allow them to be affecting of you.
Let me express to you, Castille, you may be turning your attention to
self and holding your attention with self, and not concerning yourself
with the choices of another individual and not allowing the choices of
the other individual to be affecting or interrupting of your flow of energy
which is expressed naturally, and this is NOT an expression of a lack of
caring, in your terms, or a lack of involvement objectively, or a lack
of feeling or a lack of affection concerning the other individual.
(Intently) In actuality, you allow yourself to express all of
those identifications physically in more of an expression of genuineness
and more clearly — and they are received more clearly by the other individual
— in the moments that you ARE holding your attention within self.
For as you turn your attention outside of self and you concern yourself
with the choices of other individuals and you express that other individuals
are affecting of you within your reality, in actuality, what you are creating
in an expression of energy is a judgment upon the other individual, a lack
of acceptance of self, a lack of acknowledgment of your own ability to
be creating of your own reality, and you are expressing underlying expectations
to the other individual, that your well-being and expression of happiness
is contingent upon the other individual’s choices. This is a discounting
of self in your ability to be creating your reality, and it is a judgment
upon the choices of the other individual.
[In] viewing your attention in that light of perspective, so to speak,
you may allow yourself the recognition that you may be expressing much
more clearly these engagements of affection, love, acceptance, emotional
interaction — and physical interaction — with another individual in the
expression of holding your attention to self.
LETTY: Hmm. I think I’ve been trying to separate....
ELIAS: In this, it is unnecessary also to be creating that expression
of separation, although I hold the awareness that this is a quite familiar
action within physical focus, for you automatically separate in relation
to yourself and any other individual, for you view yourselves to BE separate.
As you continue to turn your attention to self, you also allow yourself
to assimilate objectively the recognition that you are NOT separate, and
that you ARE the other individual, and the other individual is YOU.
LETTY: I think that’s where my fear has been coming from, in feeling
that separation instead of accepting that there is none.
ELIAS: Correct.
LETTY: And when I read it, I understand it and I feel it so well,
but then my automatic response ... when I go through situations, I completely
forget.
ELIAS: Quite, and this is the expression of the familiar.
LETTY: Right.
ELIAS: And this be the reason that you are offering yourself examples
of your automatic responses, and allowing yourself the opportunity to identify
the influence of the beliefs which are creating this perception and these
reactions, so to speak.
LETTY: Okay. Well, Elias, as always!
ELIAS: Ha ha ha ha ha! As always! (They both laugh)
LETTY: I do have one quick question. Have you been beeping
me?
ELIAS: Ha ha ha ha ha!
LETTY: I hear beeps. Many times it’s lights, which is usually
what gets my attention when you’re around. But lately I’ve been hearing
beeps, and it took me a little while to realize it was you.
ELIAS: You are correct. This is the expression of, pay attention,
Castille! Ha ha ha ha ha!
LETTY: Well, I thank you for that!
ELIAS: You are quite welcome!
LETTY: It’s a little bit less dramatic than a knock on the head!
ELIAS: Ha ha ha ha ha! Quite! Not quite so physical!
LETTY: Right. I do that enough to myself!
ELIAS: I am in agreement! (Laughing)
LETTY: Well, Elias, I have something exciting to say, and I’m
going to beat Cindel in telling you that we’re coming to visit you!
ELIAS: In objective physical proximity! Ha ha ha ha ha!
LETTY: Yes, we’re very excited! We’re gonna be there next
month.
ELIAS: (Chuckling) And I shall be anticipating our meeting
and our interaction, and we shall engage playfulness!
LETTY: Oh, definitely! I’m going to work on that one!
ELIAS: Ha ha ha!
LETTY: It’s a priority!
ELIAS: Very well!
LETTY: Okay! Thank you again.
ELIAS: You are quite welcome, my friend. I express to you
great encouragement, and I shall continue to be offering energy to you
in acknowledgment. (Chuckling) To you in great affection this day,
Castille, au revoir.
LETTY: Au revoir, Elias.
Elias departs at 11:22 a.m.
