Thursday, February 8, 2001 (Private/Phone)
Participants: Mary (Michael) and Gerald
Elias arrives at 12:28 PM. (Arrival time is 14 seconds.)

ELIAS: Good morning!

GERALD: Good morning!

ELIAS: (Chuckling) We meet again!

GERALD: We DO meet again, Elias! I just wanted to check in, so to speak. I was having such a great conversation with Mary that I ran over into my session time. I just want to also build on our relationship, like I've been doing with Mary, who is quite extraordinary. (Elias chuckles) Tell her I think you're a little slow in your processing, but that's okay.

ELIAS: Ah! (They both laugh)

GERALD: See, Mary and I go back and forth very rapidly.

ELIAS: (Laughs) And this would be the dynamic of your relationship.

GERALD: Yes, that's right! (Laughs with Elias) I'm a little hyper, anyway. I was just trying to think, when we do talk on Monday more fully, what kind of stuff have you been (phone static) ... are you there?

ELIAS: Yes.

GERALD: One of the things that I often (increased phone noise) ... is that mine? Hold on. Oh, you know what, I did that. Hold on, let's re-do that. All these electronic devices ... there we go, I just turned it off. Are you there?

ELIAS: Ha ha ha! Yes!

GERALD: All right. Now, you're here for what purpose? I look at you as someone I'm coming to talk to like a professor. You're experimenting in your own way, is my assumption, right? Why else would you be speaking from the eons, or whatever you want to call it, the other focus? What would you call your purpose here, when you're speaking through Mary? What's your intention?

ELIAS: To be responding...

GERALD: Okay, to be responding.

ELIAS: You, as individuals within your physical dimension, have created a request within consciousness to be offering helpfulness through the offering of information which shall spark the remembrance within yourselves, as you journey into this action of this shift in consciousness. Therefore, my purpose, so to speak, or my direction in speaking with any of you, is merely in response to your request.

GERALD: Okay, good, that sounds interestingly vague enough! (Elias laughs) For me, this is an experiment to sit down and talk with you - experiments in consciousness, that's what I like to do, basically.

What's my request here ... I don't know! I'm always looking for some new thought or kernels of thought to play with, you know, like new glasses. Then I walk outside with that new pair of glasses on, and I go, "Oh, that's interesting!" and then that begins to gather new thoughts around it. So, that's kind of what I like doing with non-physical entities. Physical entities are something different.

ELIAS: (Chuckling, and Gerald chuckles also) And in this, you may present your direction, or I may offer to you aspects of information that you may be beginning to examine within yourself and your own directions, but have not quite clarified within yourself.

GERALD: That's one of the things that I look to do, so that's why I kind of keep these open. Fundamentally that is probably my request, examining things that I'm putting together that I may not even be aware that I'm putting together! How's that? Going to new places! (Elias laughs)

You know, maybe you can pick up on other things. I don't know about what your psychic ability ... when you talk with someone like myself, besides hearing my words, what else do you pay attention to?

ELIAS: Your energy...

GERALD: Okay, and what do you notice about my energy? How do you process that?

ELIAS: In actuality, it is not what you term to be a process. It is merely a recognition of your energy and your manipulation of it, and how you project that energy in relation to yourself and your direction and what you wish to be creating within your focus.

GERALD: What do you recognize, then? Like right now when we're talking, what is it that you come to recognize that then forms how we have a conversation here?

ELIAS: You project an energy of curiosity. Your curiosity extends in the association of yourself and all of your universe that you view to be surrounding you. Therefore, it also encompasses your exchange with myself in an inquisitiveness, for the energy that you express is one of tremendous exploration concerning a clearer recognition of yourself, and in actuality, in relation to the movement of this shift in consciousness also, for you are also participating within it and offering yourself more information in relation to yourself.

GERALD: Ah, yes. You talk about this shift and this request that people have underneath it. I would say that in a way I am VERY aware on some levels, not maybe at the same ... that is why I do what I do.

There's a fundamental understanding or wanting to understand for others - whatever it is that you said, I don't know how to express it - but there's this need, this yearning for hope; I don't like the word "hope," by the way. (Elias chuckles) I think hope is a little passive, but if hope shifts people out of the emotion of despair, that's useful. It may get them into a different level of emotion. What's your thought when I say that?

ELIAS: I may express to you that within our next meeting, we may be examining this subject matter of emotion.

GERALD: Yes, we did last time; but we can do it in a different way. It's never the same, I'm sure. We talked about emotion, frustration, paying attention to those things. That's what I'm trying to think about.

ELIAS: And now you may move yourself beyond merely noticing and paying attention to the signal, and recognizing the message which is contained in the communication of the emotion.

GERALD: I remember us talking about that, but let's go over that again. I also want to talk about the shift in consciousness that's happening, that IS happening. You know, I see it; I think it's already here for me!

ELIAS: You are correct!

GERALD: I don't see that it's happening, that it's like some process. It's turning one's attention to it to see that it's already shown up.

ELIAS: You are correct! This is not an event that shall be forthcoming, but a reality that already is expressed; and you are quite correct in your definition of merely turning your attention to yourself in how you are creating it individually.

GERALD: One of the things I'm aware of in my conversations with Mary is about giving voice to it. One of things that you have stated is that you're here because there's a request, and one of the things I think is very powerful is when people can ... is it more of a silent request that people have? I mean, you don't hear people necessarily going, "Well, who am I?" It's often more silent, if anything. My assumption is when the silent request becomes something that is a public conversation, so to speak, kind of where it becomes a momentum, the time has come, it's just conversation that happens, then we're ready for the next game, so to speak.

ELIAS: Yes, you are correct.

GERALD: Giving voice to it ... Mary and I were talking about connecting when we're in despair or in frustration or any of those emotions, and it's like what does that voice tell you you want?

ELIAS: Quite! And this is the action of redefining this term of emotion.

GERALD: "Redefining this term of emotion," good. We'll talk more about that Monday. Elias, I'll talk back to Mary. Always a pleasure ... look forward to meeting you in my dreams one night.

ELIAS: HA HA! And I shall be available!

GERALD: Good! (Laughing)

ELIAS: (Chuckling) I anticipate our meeting forthcoming, my friend.

GERALD: Good. I do, too. Thank you very much.

ELIAS: To you...

GERALD: I'm going to say 'bye to Mary.

ELIAS: Very well. Au revoir.

GERALD: Au revoir.

Elias departs at 12:39 PM.

(1) That proposed session never occurred.
