Participants: Mary (Michael) and Paul (Xutrah).
This session begins at 12:03 p.m. There is no arrival time because
Elias is already present, as this session directly follows another.
PAUL: Bon jour, mon frère!
ELIAS: Bon jour!
PAUL: It is very good to be interacting with you objectively for
a change. (Elias chuckles) I particularly appreciated the creation
we had a couple nights ago, of the energy butterfly. It was very
nice.
ELIAS: Ah, I am quite fond of butterflies!
PAUL: Ah, as I am as well. (Sighing) I wish we could just
sit down around a table and chat, and....
ELIAS: And perhaps at some time framework within your linear time
expression, you may create this!
PAUL: Ah, it is my desire.
ELIAS: Ha ha ha ha ha!
PAUL: (Laughing) Let’s see. A dear friend of mine,
Tom — I would like his essence name and all of his particulars.
ELIAS: Ah, the particulars! (Chuckling) Very well. (Pause)
Essence name, Redi; R-E-D-I. (reh-dee’) Essence family, Vold;
alignment, Tumold; orientation, common.
PAUL: Okay. I was investigating of shared focuses with Tom,
and I came up with, my focus was named Borham, his was Annita, in Scotland
around 1512. He was a blond lady of fine clothes and standing, but
had a drooping left face, and I was a hunchback. Can you confirm
that?
ELIAS: Yes, you are correct.
PAUL: Interesting, the counterpart action that we were engaging
in. (Elias chuckles)
So, another focus in which I have a question about intrusiveness.
This is a past focus of mine, and her name was Miriam or Mirum, in perhaps
1860. She was experiencing anxiety which was disturbing of my sleep.
When I investigated, I found her in the middle of a panic attack and I
interacted with her. She was well aware of my presence, and I instructed,
or shall I say, I went there with her. We breathed together.
This calmed her anxiety, and perhaps not coincidentally, I had no trouble
going to sleep after that. Could you comment on that intrusiveness,
or even if it was?
ELIAS: I shall express to you that it is not intrusive.
Let me identify to you what may be classified, so to speak, as an intrusive
action that may be expressed within essence, for you shall not be intrusive
to another essence, but you may be intrusive within essence to yourself.
In this, an action of intrusiveness between different focuses of essence
would be an intentional action of projection to another focus and intentionally
attempting to be altering aspects of the reality within that focus, knowing
what you are creating objectively. This may be identified as an intrusive
action.
Now; understand, you may not be creating another’s reality, not even
another focus of your essence, for each focus holds choice. In this,
each holds the expression of free will and creates their own reality.
Therefore, you may not be creating a reality for another focus, nor may
it be creating a reality for you. You also may not be thrusting a
reality upon another focus, nor may it be thrusting upon you.
But you may be projecting to another focus quite intentionally, and
you may hold an objective awareness of what you are engaging, and you may
influence that reality by altering certain expressions within that reality,
and therefore strongly influencing the reality of the other focus, and
this may be considered within essence as intrusive.
Now; as to the action which has occurred between yourself and this other
focus concerning your sleep, this is not an intrusive action. This
is not an intentional interruption of your sleep state by another focus,
nor may the other focus be creating that type of action. YOU choose
to be interrupting of your sleep state or to not be interrupting of your
sleep state, for the other focus is not creating your reality.
In this, you have chosen to be interactive with another focus to allow
yourself the viewing and the realistic recognition objectively that you
may be not merely viewing another focus, but you may also be interactive
with another focus, if you are so choosing, and this validates to you and
reinforces within you your ability to be manipulating energy as you choose.
Now; this also allows you the opportunity to view that as you are thinning
the veils between different focuses of attention of essence, you also may
continue to maintain your individuality and your identity within your particular
focus of attention, and not confuse that with other expressions of essence.
Are you understanding?
PAUL: Yes, I am. A future focus which I contacted — who
I first met in the dream state and had a similar type of interaction with
— I was curious as to why or actually how he was projecting his thoughts
into the minds of others, and I had a similar type of experience.
We went inward to be more realizing of essence, and if I am understanding
you correctly, that also falls under a non-intrusiveness type of action.
Is that true?
ELIAS: Yes, you are correct.
PAUL: Okay.
ELIAS: You may be quite interactive with other aspects of essence,
with other focuses of your essence, and you may be offering yourself information
or you may be creating in cooperation with other focuses, and not be intrusive.
But as you move into the expression of attempting intentionally to be
altering the expressions and reality of another focus of essence to be
fitting what YOU want within THIS focus, this is a different type of expression,
and this is not entirely within the expression of cooperation, and therefore
is intrusive.
PAUL: Yes, I believe I understand. It is a matter of intent
and desire on my part.
ELIAS: Yes.
PAUL: Excellent. Hey, a question — do you ever get surprised?
ELIAS: Ha ha ha ha ha! I may express to you, my friend,
that I engage surprise and surprising myself continuously! The exploration
of consciousness — the discovery of self in different expressions and areas
of consciousness — is a continual surprise within exploring of all that
is. Therefore, yes, I engage surprise, although the expression of
that surprise may not be exhibited in the same manner that you are familiar
with within your physical focus.
PAUL: You explained it exactly the way I was hoping you would!
ELIAS: Ha ha ha ha ha!
PAUL: (Laughing) Lots of fun — that’s the way I look at
it!
ELIAS: Quite! (Chuckling)
PAUL: Hey, I have a tile entry.
ELIAS: Very well.
PAUL: To briefly describe it, on the upper right-hand side is
blue, which fades into rose color, a pinkish. There is a black line
which is ... well, it looks a little like a seagull on its side, with two
dots on the inside to the left, which is a greenish color. I’d like
to align this tile with Sumari ... and can I do Borledim at the same time?
ELIAS: And where shall you be placing the entry?
PAUL: Well, I believe that it is — if I’m correct in this — an
action of movement of energy from one dimension to another. Now,
does that align with a family?
ELIAS: Therefore, you may be entering this tile in relation to
these two families. And where shall you place this within your game
— in connection with physically focused essences, in connection with families,
or in connection with nonphysical essences?
PAUL: Ah, this is ... I understand now. This is, I believe,
a counterpart action between myself and my son Matthew.
ELIAS: Therefore, I inquire again, where shall you place the tile?
PAUL: Hmm. It shall be placed ... maybe I’m not understanding
the game of tiles well enough. It shall be placed in conjunction
with physical manifestations, and the interaction between physically focused
individuals.
ELIAS: Very well. It shall be placed within physically focused
connecting essences, and I shall be accepting of this tile, and express
to you one point.
PAUL: Thank you! (Elias chuckles) Have you any comment
on that interaction between me and my son? (Pause) Let me be more
specific. I believe that it is counterpart action that we are engaging
in. I also have the impression that in another focus, our parental
roles are reversed, and this is part of the source of the contentiousness
between us.
ELIAS: And you are correct.
Now; what information does this offer to you, and how shall you approach
this situation in offering this information to yourself?
PAUL: It is clearly an issue of presenting belief systems to myself
of parental responsibility, and the whole relationship is about how I do
not create his reality, nor does he create mine, and the allowance of the
free flow of energy between us, which I’m blocking in many respects.
ELIAS: Therefore, let me inquire of you, how shall you approach
this situation and attempt to be altering your perception to be altering
of that reality?
PAUL: Well, the answer to all my problems today is acceptance.
ELIAS: Ah, quite! Ha ha ha ha ha!
PAUL: (Laughing) Yes, and pursuant to that, I have been
engaging my acceptance 101 and 102.
ELIAS: Ha ha ha ha ha! And I shall be acknowledging of you
in this action! (Chuckling)
PAUL: It has been, in the last couple of days, actually very,
very insightful. I finally understand what you mean when you say
“in the now,” for when I hold onto my energy too tightly, it is because
I am not living nowly. I am usually living futurely, and the recognition
of that has been very freeing.
ELIAS: Quite.
It is quite interesting also, the many times in which you may be associating
and projecting your attention pastly in relation to projecting your attention
futurely, but the dominant aspect that you recognize is the projection
of your attention futurely. The other is occurring simultaneously,
but you are paying more attention to projecting your attention futurely.
In this, you may offer yourself much information and it may be quite
helpful if you are allowing yourself to practice recognizing how you project
your attention in BOTH of these directions simultaneously, and which is
overriding of the other [and] which is underlying of the other. For
as you offer yourself a viewing of both of these projections which occur
simultaneously, you also enrich the information that you offer to yourself,
for you allow yourself a greater understanding of your motivation, and
in this, you allow yourself to stop and view more of your choices, which
offers you much more of an expression of freedom.
I am encouraging of you to be continuing to hold your attention within
the now. I am also quite realistically recognizing that you do NOT
hold your attention within the now continuously.
Therefore, within the time frameworks that you are not holding your
attention within the now, rather than chastising yourself or discounting
yourself for not holding your attention within the now, and projecting
futurely or pastly or simultaneously both, allow yourself to view this
action also as an opportunity for exploration, for it offers you information,
and in this, is helpful in allowing you to hold your attention within the
now.
PAUL: Oh, interesting.
ELIAS: Let me express to you, my friend, it may be offering an
ease to you in your movement within all of these actions and concepts if
you are allowing yourself to view them as a game; if you are allowing yourself
to be an explorer and creating these actions as a game playfully, rather
than expressing seriousness to yourself and therefore reinforcing judgments.
PAUL: Oh, that sounds so easy!
ELIAS: Ha ha ha ha ha!
PAUL: (Laughing) But yes, on sporadic occasions I’ve been
able to do that, and it is a lot of fun. I agree with that.
And yes, I continue to “should” upon myself!
ELIAS: Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
PAUL: This is so much fun. Ah, transition — I feel that
I entered transition within physical focus in 1993. Is that true?
(Pause)
ELIAS: Yes, you are correct.
PAUL: Within the brief span of physical linear time that we have,
could you compare and contrast transition within physical focus to the
trauma which is being engendered by the shift? (Pause)
ELIAS: First of all, I shall express to you that I am not in agreement
with the action of comparison, for this reinforces an automatic action
that you all engage continuously within physical focus, which reinforces
the strength of expression of duplicity.
PAUL: Hmm! Okay.
ELIAS: I may express to you that the action of transition moves
in a different quality of expression than that which may be associated
with the expression of trauma within this shift. Transition does
not necessarily incorporate an expression of trauma, although it may, at
times of great confusion. But it does not necessarily, for the most
part, create an expression of trauma.
Many of the movements and actions of transition may be expressed in
varying degrees of confusion, for you are allowing yourself to be introducing
yourself to other aspects of reality which are quite unfamiliar to you.
Now; there are many expressions of transition which [are] engaged within
physical focus that may be quite similar to expressions of this shift in
consciousness, although there are also many expressions of differences.
In this, you may be experiencing individually an expression of trauma [in]
engaging transition and the movement of this shift simultaneously, which
many individuals are.
PAUL: I really like Mylo’s analogy of, I feel that if belief systems
are bullets, I am on the wrong end of the machine gun at the moment!
ELIAS: Ha ha ha ha ha! And presenting to yourself many of
the aspects of these belief systems! (Laughing)
PAUL: Oh, let me tell ya, there are a bunch of ‘em!
ELIAS: Ha ha ha ha! But let me express to you that this
is an opportunity to be allowing yourself movement into acceptance.
PAUL: Yes, and I do recognize it as that.
ELIAS: This is not to say that you do not engage challenge! (Laughing)
PAUL: Yeah, and the interesting thing is that I’m presenting the
challenge to me!
ELIAS: Quite! This may be an expression of difficulty many
times, but YOU are what is choosing the presentment. This is a choice.
PAUL: Indeed, and if I understand you correctly, the reason why
I am engaging this choice to be addressing to so many belief systems is
to ease my movement after disengagement. There must be a purpose
behind that. (Pause)
ELIAS: In a manner of speaking. No choice that you create
is wasteful. All choices that you engage are purposeful. Therefore,
in a manner of speaking, this choice to be engaging the action of transition
within physical focus is also purposeful, in easing your movement within
nonphysical aspects of transition.
In this, it is dependent upon the individual, and your choice of direction
and your choice in relation to your movement. Many individuals are
choosing to be engaging transition, and also participating within this
shift in consciousness.
In this, they offer themselves the opportunity to be exploring an expansive
expression of consciousness within physical expressions, but also offering
themselves the opportunity, yourself also, to be moving into nonphysical
aspects of transition, and moving quickly into other areas of consciousness.
For as I have stated, there are some aspects of this shift in consciousness
that are similar to some of the expressions of transition. Therefore,
as this becomes the accepted norm, so to speak, within the physical dimension,
the movement in nonphysical action of transition alters and becomes merely
the action of shedding the beliefs and the objective awareness, rather
than familiarizing yourself with all of the beliefs and shedding of them
and shedding of the objective awareness.
What you are accomplishing in this action is to be, in a manner of speaking,
eliminating one of the steps or aspects of movement that occurs within
nonphysical transition by engaging that within your physical focus.
The very action of the shift shall be, futurely, creating the elimination
of that expression within nonphysical transition, for you shall be familiar
with that action within physical focus.
In this, you are not creating a movement of transition within physical
focus to be hurrying or speeding your movement within nonphysical focus.
You are merely creating a different type of experience. This shift
in consciousness allows for a greater expression and ease of individuals
to be engaging transition within physical focus. Therefore, you are
engaging this. You are allowing yourselves that experience.
You are not hurrying, as I have stated, your movement. You are
not racing, and you are not in competition. You are merely, in a
manner of speaking, taking advantage of what you are creating within this
physical dimension. You create a shift in consciousness which facilitates
more of an ease of engaging transition within physical focus. Therefore,
many, many, many more individuals are engaging that action within physical
focus than have previously within your history.
PAUL: Interesting. Okay, I believe our time is about up.
I wish not to be taxing upon Michael.
ELIAS: Ha ha ha! Very well.
PAUL: Well, one comment is, I’m very grateful for the information
that you gave me last session, to be able to re-cognize or recognize my
intent in this focus, for it has been immensely helpful in easing my movement,
especially with interaction with other individuals.
ELIAS: You are quite welcome.
PAUL: On that, I guess we shall be meeting next time.
ELIAS: Very well! I shall anticipate that meeting, and I
shall offer to you also great affection and encouragement in your movement,
and your understanding of your movement objectively. To you, my friend,
this day, in great affection, au revoir.
PAUL: Au revoir.
Elias departs at 12:43 p.m.
