the belief system of sexuality and emotion
|
ELIAS: “The reason you are manifest within this dimension – your purpose, your mission, your reason – is to experience. You are NOT manifest within this dimension in a school. You are NOT manifest in this dimension to be accomplishing of great deeds, although you may be choosing to be experiencing this. You ARE manifest within this dimension, and ANY physical dimension, merely to experience the purity and qualities of physical action.
“Within this particular dimension, you have created this reality based upon the exploration of two basic elements of physical focus; sexuality and emotion. You experience both of these elements intensely. All of your creations within this particular dimension reflect these basic elements. You may even look to a rock, and this stone shall invoke within you a feeling of male or female and an emotion if you are so tuning into it, for ALL of your reality reflects these elements in this particular dimension.
“In this also, I shall offer to you a comment which shall not be entirely well-received by some individuals, but it is your creation of your reality. Therefore, it is reality in this particular dimension. You manifest with the agreement of manifestation at the very least three times, three focuses within this particular dimension. This is the agreement that you adhere to in choosing to manifest within this particular experience. You manifest once female, once male, once in what I express to be ‘other,’ which shall be interpreted as what you view to be homosexual. All three of these experiences are the agreement that you engage in engaging this reality, for the experience of the sexual aspect of this particular dimension.
“This is not to say that you must be creating of a focus which holds an extended time framework. You may be experiencing female for one year [or] five minutes and you may disengage, or you may be experiencing male for one hundred of your years. You may be experiencing homosexual five hundred focuses, male one, female three. Any combination is acceptable. The only stipulation within this dimension is that you experience three different orientations, for this is the design of this particular physical focus.
“They are different. Male is not female; female is not male; homosexual is completely a different orientation. Physically you may appear the same or similar, but the orientation within consciousness is completely different, just as the male orientation is one and the female orientation is another and they are not the same. Although within your present era you view yourselves to be closer and you wish yourselves to be the same and you attempt to place yourselves in the same roles, you are intrinsically different. If this were not so, you would not be creating of differences in sexuality. You would be creating no sex. There are physical dimensions in existence presently which hold no sexual orientation. Yours is not one.
“In this, I express to you to be exploring the fullness of your orientation and of your creation, the wonderment of what you have chosen to manifest within, as opposed to the denial of the orientation that you choose and the movement into false mergence of the other orientation. Do not confuse yourselves in expressing that you are all the same. You are NOT all the same. Within consciousness, the elements of consciousness are the same, but they are not; for each element of consciousness holds its own uniqueness. Even within essence you hold your own tone, which is unique to you and not the same as other essences. The qualities may be the same, but the tone is different. You each hold your own individual tone in essence, which is the whole of you, the sum of all of your focuses, not merely within this particular physical dimension but all other dimensions and all areas of consciousness.” [session 270, March 19, 1998]
ELIAS: “Emotions are not belief systems. Emotions are an element of your expression that you have chosen to be the method, so to speak, of your expression within this particular physical dimension. This is not to say that other physical dimensions do not incorporate emotion, for some do, but within this particular dimension, it is one of the base elements of your creation of expression.
“In this, the emotion exists regardless of the belief system. The experience of emotion is created and exists and is expressed with or without the belief systems, but you are incorporating belief systems into this particular dimension. Therefore, it is not necessarily a question of which you have created first, for you create them together, but they are functioning differently. The belief systems are influencing of your emotions, but emotion is a translation of a tone quality of essence. It is a translation into a physical dimension for the reason of physical experience. Belief systems are not an aspect of essence. They are a creation, a tool to be manipulating perceptions within physical dimensions that influence and create your reality.” [session 331, October 16, 1998]
ELIAS: “Perception is not the you of you. Your orientation and your emotion, in this physical manifestation – not in all of essence, but in this particular physical dimension – your perception is created by your emotion and your sexuality. Those are the elements that are the you of you, the ingredients that are what comprises you, as you know yourself physically. Your perception is created by these elements, and is that aspect of you that therefore creates your reality.” [session 381, April 09, 1999]
ELIAS: “The present wave in consciousness within this shift addresses to the belief system involving sexuality, which is a very large belief system, a very powerful belief system, and involves much more than merely your identification of physical sexuality, but involves all of your perception. Therefore, it is affecting of every area of your focus.
“This belief system intertwines itself with all other belief systems. It is quite entangled with all of your belief systems, and it addresses to how you view yourself, how you view other individuals, and how you view your world ... and how you interact with all of these elements of your reality. The belief system of sexuality involves all of your reality, not merely that one very small aspect of physical, sexual interactions.” [session 395, May 16, 1999]
ELIAS: “Your emotions are a natural expression that you create within this physical reality. They are not right, they are not wrong, they are not good, they are not bad. They are merely an expression that you create within this physical reality.
“Your beliefs are quite influencing of your emotions, for your beliefs are influencing of your perception, and within your perception, you create definitions and identifications within your reality.
“Therefore, your perception, influenced by your beliefs, views your creation of emotion and assesses certain expressions of emotion and defines to you what that emotion is, in very similar manner to the expression of how your perception evaluates and defines all of your physical creations.” [session 472, September 19, 1999]
ELIAS: “Emotions are never reactions. They are not reactions. They are communications, and they are not presented after an event. They present themselves simultaneous to your objective creation.
“As you offer yourself an objective experience, that is one avenue of communication that you are offering to yourself, and the emotion is another avenue of communication. ... They are both paralleling each other, and the emotion is a communication. It is an expression offered to you as a message concerning what you are creating in the moment.
“The feeling, as I have stated previously, of the emotion is the signal. In the signal is the message. But if you are not receiving the signal, if you are not responding to the signal and receiving the message, the signal continues. ... Or, it may continue in the same intensity or lack of intensity. It may not escalate, in a manner of speaking. It may continue in the same type of expression. At times, it MAY escalate. It is dependent upon the importance of the message.” [session 764, January 24, 2001]
ELIAS: (Chuckling) “... you have designed a physical manifestation that incorporates MANY avenues of communication! Emotion is one, and as I have stated previously, all of your senses are other avenues of communication. This is their function. The function of emotion is a communication. The function of all of your senses, inner and outer senses, is communication. The function of impulses and impressions is communication. You incorporate communication in your physical body expressions. (Pause) It is an intricate expression of your BEING in this physical dimension.” [session 764, January 24, 2001]
ELIAS: “... consciousness is not a THING. This is the point that becomes confusing to many individuals, for you think of consciousness as a thing, some type of endless entity, and it is not. Consciousness is an action. It creates things from no-thing. The action creates things, and you as consciousness create things also. You create yourselves, which is a thing.
“In this, if you remove yourself, even momentarily, from what is known, and remove yourself from the experience of what is known in your reality – which is quite attached to emotion, for that is one of the base elements of the blueprint of your reality – when you remove that, yes, you do experience consciousness in a form that is very foreign to what you experience in this reality. It is not necessarily more true, but it is more essential. It is not more real, for that would discount or devalue the reality of what you experience in this reality, and it would also devalue the TRUENESS of the reality that you are creating now. It is different and it is more consistent, for that element of that void, so to speak, is present in every reality, for it is essentially what you are.
“In that, this is the reason that I have offered information in relation to your reality and how it functions, how it operates, how you move and create in it, the significance of energy, how all that you do is interconnected and interrelated, and the significance of recognizing that emotions are communications. Feelings are associated with the objective awareness.
“Within consciousness outside of physical reality, there is no objective awareness. It is not necessary. It is only necessary in relation to physical manifestations, for it is the element of consciousness that allows you to create physical realities, for it is the seat of perception, and perception creates reality, physical reality. Therefore, without the objective awareness, there is no necessity for emotion, for emotion is a communication to the objective awareness. Therefore, without the objective awareness, you are already aware of whatever the communication may be, and it is not necessary to incorporate that form of communication of emotion.” [session 2482, April 04, 2008]
DREW: “Well, let me ask you about the case of a friend of mine who was recently arrested for sexual behavior that society deems inappropriate. He was actually exposing himself, and got arrested for it. Now, there are those who would say that this was not an act of sexual expression, but a symptom of other things that were going on with him. It is possible to find yourself, as he did, in serious trouble, what we would consider serious trouble objectively. So at what point do you decide that your impulses are inappropriate or counter-productive? If you find yourself engaging in activity that can lead to what we would consider trouble, do you address it and try to stop it? Or do you just say, ‘Well, it’s just experience and everything is okay, and if it leads to arrest and prison or whatever may come of it that’s okay, because it’s just experience.’ It seems to me that there is some practical side of this that has to be considered when you take into account the difference between what I call theory and practice. The theory is, ‘Yes, everything is okay. There is no good and bad.’ But in objective reality, in practice, there are, it seems to me, certain behaviors that could be counter-productive, or not the best behaviors to engage in because of mass belief systems.
ELIAS: This may move in many directions. Initially of course, I may express to you that you may choose as an individual to engage these probabilities for the experience, but I am well aware of your direction in thought. I have expressed to this type of issue previously with other individuals also.
You have objectively created collectively a reality which you deem to be official and acceptable. Therefore, if you are choosing to be within alignment of this reality that you all collectively have created, you have established objective boundaries and guidelines within which you are expected, and you hold expectations of self, to be functioning within. This also is a choice. Now; if you are choosing to be functioning within the officially accepted guidelines of the reality that the collective has established, this is quite acceptable. You have created your reality in this way. In this, to more efficiently be functioning within this reality and also be acknowledging of self, you must look to alternatives. Think to your choices; this being why it is necessary to be addressing to belief systems, and identifying those belief systems which do not serve you; for within the continued practice or allowance of influence of these belief systems which hold strongly which do not serve you, they impede your movement and create conflict.
Let us view the scenario of your friend. This individual may choose the action which has been implemented, and these probabilities which are then implemented may be and are this individual’s choice. Let us view hypothetically that this individual chooses a different course within probabilities to be actualizing within this reality; for this individual actualizes different probabilities within another reality, but the reality that concerns you is the one that your attention is focused within, which is this one. Therefore, this individual may have looked to the unacknowledged impulses which were objectively becoming noticed, and may have chosen to be attending to the belief systems attached to these.
You all are taught to be denying impulses. This creates conflict in many areas. Within some individuals, the conflict becomes more extreme, depending upon the blocking of impulses. You are taught not only within your religious belief systems that impulses are bad, but also scientifically. They are animal instincts. They are base and they are unacceptable. Therefore, you automatically deny your natural impulses. As you continue to allow these belief systems to be influencing and you continue to be denying of self and self-expression, energy will be expressed. It will choose a way to express itself. Therefore, it shall find an outlet. Be that acceptable or not, and dependent upon the intensity of the blocking of these impulses, some individuals may create unacceptable behavior; as I have expressed to James [Tom], who manifests geysers within the blocking of impulses.
The individual may have chosen to be addressing the belief system of duplicity and identifying that natural functions of their physical form are acceptable, and in this may have allowed themselves the opportunity to release stored tension and manifest different circumstances; but as the individual does not address to the belief systems and does not acknowledge the oneness of self and also that there is no wrong within self, activity occurs which is unacceptable. Unacceptable expressions are expressed; not for the reason that the individual views that there is no wrong, but for the reason that the individual views very wrong, but cannot deny the energy which is natural to self. Therefore, actions and events sometimes occur within these individuals.
Be remembering also that these are choices. Individuals that create this type of action choose to be creating this type of action. There are many reasons why individuals choose unacceptable behavior within your established, official reality. Some choose to be manifesting extreme situations for their attention; for they shall not address to their belief systems until they have manifest extremely, for the belief systems are extreme. Therefore, they feel they must match the belief system within intensity within extreme events, and this shall attain their attention. This is not always the situation, for there are many reasons why individuals choose behavior that you deem unacceptable.
As to yourself, you present yourself here. Therefore, you offer yourself the opportunity to be viewing these belief systems, to be acknowledging of these belief systems, and to be learning of self and the acceptability of self. Regardless, as I have stated, of established, viewed religious belief systems, there is an underlying subculture within all cultures of religious belief systems, and your scientific belief systems are also reinforcing of many of these; all of which point the individual in the direction of viewing self as untrustworthy and flawed. You are not flawed! All that you manifest within yourself is exquisite creativity and quite aesthetic expression. You only believe that elements of your expression are unacceptable, for many reasons. They are distracting. They are diverting. They are time-consuming. They are ‘in the way.’ And have I not expressed to you all, fun is ultimately important? If it is not fun, disengage! For it is unnecessary for you to be driving within self, and not appreciating of self and enjoying self within your existence.
Many individuals within your metaphysical belief systems express that this manifestation upon this planet, which they term your Earth plane, is a learning experience; a practice. You are enrolled in your ‘Earth plane school.’ I have expressed already to you that this is incorrect; although do not look to redemption within other areas of consciousness, for they are the same ... although they are different. They are different countries, but you remain you.
You may choose to locate yourself within this area presently, and you may futurely choose to move your location of existence upon your planet to another country; to which you shall adjust and learn a new language and adapt to a new culture and a new lifestyle, but you shall continue to be you. In this same manner, as you move into other areas of consciousness, you move to another country within consciousness. You may learn new ways of existence and new language, but you continue to be you. Therefore, this existence is equal in importance. It is no less. It is no lower.
It is important that you identify those elements which create conflict, which are belief systems, and address to these; for they shall not retreat, for you have chosen to be addressing to these. If you had not chosen, you would not be here and I would not be speaking with you. Therefore, your choice continues; and in this you continue to objectively provide yourself with events and feelings and circumstances that draw your attention to address these belief systems and be eliminating of your conflict. There is no element of your physical human form and function that is unacceptable. It is a wondrous creation! There is no reason for lack of indulgence of self.” [session 168, April 28, 1997]
RON: “Okay. My issue ... Well, I don’t know if it’s an issue. My secret has to do with my unusual sex habits. (Here, everybody’s attention, which was pretty scattered, is immediately focused on Ron)
For example, I like to go into the dirty chat rooms on the computer and pretend like I’m a girl and talk to guys about sex. I’d probably get bored and quit, but I’m really good at it and they keep calling me back. (We all crack up) So I think the belief system probably has to do with that same good and bad thing. Otherwise, I wouldn’t consider it a secret.
ELIAS: Actually, this may be what we may classify as a secret; for within this seemingly comical expression, there are also latent thought processes and feelings that attach to this and to the manifestation of the expression. You are correct also in your assessment of the belief system, which also continues with the duplicity. As I have expressed, this being a very large issue being addressed presently. This you may consider a wave within your consciousness. As you widen your awareness, each of you shall experience a recognition of this duplicity objectively and address to it.
Within your expression, you have found what you consider to be harmless and entertaining outlet for those unexpressed aspects of self. The duplicity moves into play as you align with mass belief systems, in that certain behavior is unacceptable. Within essence, there is a recognition of no quality of gender. Within subjective movement recently, there is also an identification that these gender qualifications are relative to this physical manifestation within this dimension as you view them, but within this dimension you have created certain official, accepted manifestations of reality. Just as I have expressed to you, if you are choosing to be manifest within this particular dimension, you shall engage at the least three experiences within this type of physical manifestation, this being based upon sexual orientation; for within this particular dimension, you are creating of your reality within a sexual orientation. You identify male and female.
Just as other individuals have experienced bleed-throughs of subjective movement and activity, this is expressive of this also. The belief systems that enter cloud your understanding of the objectification of the bleed-through. Within itself, the bleed-through is a recognition, as stated, of the reality that you are all, and possess no gender. Only within this particular dimension is this relevant; but as you hold deep belief systems that express to you that as a male individual you are expected and you expect yourself to be performing and actualizing and creating your reality in this manner, in conjunction with the accepted, official reality, and you have not chosen a non-sexual focus within this particular focus, you ‘should be’ manifesting within these specific guidelines.
As you deviate from this, you remind yourself of previous thought processes within earlier time periods, which you also look to as wrong; not within the normal guidelines of your accepted reality. Therefore, you are reinforcing of this belief system. You are not recognizing this as a bleed-through. You are attaching a thought process of a throwback or a remanifestation of past thought processes. Therefore, this becomes disturbing and creating of conflict, for you may not fit this into what you have accepted as your official reality.
In accepting that these thought processes are not wrong or bad, and accepting that you hold qualities of both genders within each individual focus, although you magnate to one and therefore manifest physically as one gender, you may allow yourself the freedom to be expressive of self without condemnation, and therefore you may also experience a lessening of attraction to those elements which you view to be bad. They hold attraction, for they hold excitement in acting-out areas that are unacceptable but within a relatively safe environment. This you view to be daring. You may be crossing your line and tempting fates, but you also hold wariness of the acceptability of this behavior, and you hold a lack of trust of other individuals to their understanding. Rightly so, for they also hold this same official belief system. Therefore, not wishing to be invoking condemnation of other individuals, it shall be secret.
Be acknowledging to self that all expressions of self are acceptable. Blocked impulses create conflict. You are multidimensional, and hold many more aspects of self than may be physically visible to yourself or to other individuals. Therefore, why should you not acknowledge all of yourself, for it is all creative? Realize that your conflict or confusion stems only from belief systems which are only relevant within this focus, and also only may be affecting if you are allowing them to be affecting.
RON: Thanks.
ELIAS: You are welcome. (Here, Drew and Gail both start talking at the same time)
DREW: Can I follow up with a question about that? (To Gail) I’m sorry, do you want to go first?
GAIL: Yeah, I wanted to ask about yesterday and my silly crisis with identity, of being around so many males and wanting to feel feminine. Is that sort of the same issue?
ELIAS: This is slightly different, for you identify with the focus that you have chosen and the manifestation within gender that you have chosen, and wishing to be projecting of this within an exaggerated manner for yourself. This is an element of identity. This issue with Olivia [Ron] is not an identity issue. It is an issue with belief systems concerning the acceptability of behavior of each gender. You do not accept behavior of one gender emulating the other gender. You all possess one focus within this dimension that you may consider to be, in your terminology presently, as homosexual; this being one of the three manifestations within the circle that you choose within this particular dimension. You choose male, you choose female, and as I have expressed for those of you of more delicate nature, one other; other being that of homosexuality, for the experience.
Within this situation of Olivia [Ron], it is a crossing over of the genders within a bleed-through of subjective movement, in acknowledging that there is no gender within essence and that each manifestation of gender is acceptable. There is no wrong, although there are belief systems held of the wrongness; that each particular gender should be staying within the guidelines of its official manifestation, and not crossing over to be manifesting activity of the other gender. Therefore, this would be a different situation. In this scenario that you have manifest yourself, this is a temporary identification of self within the accepted gender.
GAIL: I’m curious about why I created a male personality. (1)
ELIAS: As I have stated, you hold elements of both genders within you. All of you within this dimension hold both. You manifest physically within a choice of one physical camouflage or the other. You hold elements within you of both.
GAIL: So I just allowed that one to come out.
ELIAS: Absolutely, for it is an intimate aspect of self.
GAIL: Okay, I understand.
DREW: Due to belief systems, all things are not acceptable in this focus.
ELIAS: Correct.
DREW: And so how is one to deal with impulses, which you recommend we follow, that may go against what is considered to be acceptable?
BOB: (Whispering) You keep them secret. (Much laughter)
ELIAS: No, you do not keep them secret!
BOB: I was teasing! I’m sorry. I thought you were advocating of much fun! (We all crack up, including Elias)
ELIAS: You may within yourself enact your creativity, and you may offer yourself alternatives. All of your choices are not either/or. You have endless probabilities at your disposal. You may create whatever you choose to create. You are not locked into any system. Therefore, you may offer yourself creative choices in all situations, that you may continue within the guidelines of your accepted reality if you are choosing ... for some individuals are not choosing ... and you may also not be blocking of your impulses.
I also express to you that your impulses not blocked shall not be causing you distress. It is as you continue to be blocking and not acknowledging of impulses that they are pent-up energy which shall express itself, and it may not express itself within acceptable behavior within your belief systems, for it shall erupt. This is not to say that your eruption may be destructive or extreme, but it may be unacceptable. As you allow yourself to be acknowledging of impulses and following of your impulses, recognizing that they are natural and that they are not wrong and that they are you, you shall naturally express energy and not be creating conflict within you. You are only distorting of this energy as you deny it.
DREW: Well, let me ask you a question about that energy. For me, sexual energy is extremely intense, to a distraction. We talked about this a little bit recently and we talked about some of the ways to handle it, like you’ve been talking about. But I’d like to know why, for me, the energy that I have chooses to, or why I choose ... I don’t know exactly how to word this correctly ... to direct it that way, as opposed to all of the other myriad ways I could choose to express that energy? Why for me is that such a predominant focus?
ELIAS: For this is an extremely intense experience. (Intensely) As you hold energy that you view and feel to be intense, you seek to express this in what you believe to be an adequate manner which is expressive of your feelings. Sexual energy within this dimension and this manifestation is also an extremely powerful and focused aspect within your creation and within your creativity. You are sexual beings within this manifestation. You have created your reality including this as a very intimate element of your reality. You have created myriads of belief systems concerning this one area! You focus upon this one area very much, for you have created this reality within the guidelines of sexuality. If this were not so, you would not be male or female. It would be unimportant.
You have not only created yourselves within this sexuality, you have created all your creatures within this same sexuality. You have created your vegetation within this same reality. You have male trees and female trees which bear fruit. All of your creation within this dimension revolves around this aspect of your reality. Therefore, why shall it not be a very important channel of your energy?
DREW: What makes it an issue for me is that I feel like it’s out of balance.
ELIAS: But it is out of balance as you choose to create this imbalance, for you have chosen to be denying of this. As you are denying of your natural inclinations, then you shall be creating imbalance; for the energy shall be expressed. This is not unusual or abnormal within your species; for as I have stated, you are sexual creatures. Many individuals within their belief systems choose to be channeling energy into other areas and denying completely of this sexuality, but this shall be manifest within other areas and shall be, in your terms, destructive. As I have stated this evening, this is a part of your being. It is not an element that has been created to be denied and to not be experienced. You have created these focuses to be experiencing. Therefore, experience! (Laughter) If you are choosing not to be experiencing, poof away!
Many of you hold belief systems that you must be curtailing of these impulses; that this is a ravenous animal that must be contained. I express to you that this ravenous animal shall be like these lions within the wild. They may be quite ravenous, but as they consume an antelope they may laze within the sun for days, content within the satisfaction of their impulse being met. You are no different, except that you do not indulge the impulse. Therefore, it grows.
BOB: ... I wanted to ask a question, though ...
ELIAS: You may.
BOB: ... as a follow-up to Olivia’s [Ron’s] scenario. As we move more into the shift and there’s a widening of awareness and periphery, will sexual issues, gender issues, be less important? Because they seem to be held more in essence than in belief system, and because we hold them in essence we create belief systems around them. But it strikes me that as we become more aware of the nature of sexuality and gender and that whole arena, that the belief systems seem to sort of break down naturally and are not as critical to be moved through as certain other belief systems, like religion ...
ELIAS: This has already begun. It is a difficult movement, for you have held strong belief systems within centuries of your history. Therefore, movement away from these belief systems shall appear initially to be sluggish, although they are already moving quite swiftly in an acceptance which grows more and more, of your sexuality and the lack of importance of choices of expression within this. If you are expressing within this area and you are not being hurtful, it matters not what you choose as an expression to be manifesting.
BOB: Why the distinction about hurtfulness, if murder isn’t a bad expression?
ELIAS: This being an expression of essence; and as you are moving into your shift and widening your awareness and knowing of this, you shall be moving into an area that you shall not be intentionally being hurtful to each other. Within your belief systems presently, you continue to view this as not an agreement; as victim and perpetrator. Therefore, I qualify that until the time of acceptance of this shift, hurtfulness is unacceptable.” [session 171, May 04, 1997]
ELIAS: “Within agreement to be entering into the cycle of physical manifestation within this dimension, you choose to manifest three times at the very least; therefore offering yourself the experience of sexual orientation of male, female, and that which you deem to be ‘other,’ or homosexual. This physical dimension incorporates great emphasis upon sexual orientation and the experience of that ... also of emotion. In this, you offer yourselves the experience of each of these orientations. You may not choose to be engaging a lengthy focus within certain gender orientation or within the expression of homosexuality. This is your choice, but you shall manifest within one each of these orientations for the experience.
... Be remembering also that all of your focuses are simultaneous. They are all beside each other. They are not ‘in front of’ or before each other. They exist presently within the now, for this is what exists within consciousness is the now. There is no past or future. It is merely a perception within your creation of your time framework, which appears to be moving in a linear motion; but this being also why you may experience ease in viewing other focuses of your essence, for they are occurring simultaneously. As you are, they are also.
As essence is choosing to be entering any physical manifestation, they are all choices. An essence may be choosing to enter only one physical dimension. An essence may be choosing to be entering thousands of physical dimensions. The choice to be entering physical manifestations occurs at once.” [session 202, August 02, 1997]
ELIAS: “Very well! (To David) You may open our discussion this evening if you are so choosing, as this be YOUR subject matter.
DAVID: Well, I think I opened it last week, so I’ve done it!
ELIAS: And you are wishing to be knowing of the quality of orgasms?
DAVID: Correct.
ELIAS: And their significance to what you view as their non-physical counterpart?
DAVID: Correct.
ELIAS: In significance to non-physical counterpart, there is none!
DAVID: So, it’s just a physical....
ELIAS: All that you present yourself within sexual experience within this dimension is relative to this dimension, although I shall express to you that within physical expressions, you are mirroring elements that are known to you within essence. You are creating imagery that you insert into your physical focus that mirrors elements within non-physical aspects of essence. Therefore, within your creation of sexual intimacy, you are creating imagery physically that mirrors a knowing of the lack of separation within essence and consciousness.
DAVID: So the feeling then ... when somebody says, ‘Oh, I wonder if heaven is what orgasm is all about? When we die, heaven is going to feel just like an orgasm all the time!’ (Laughter) That’s where they go! People go there in their belief system! This is what I’m trying to find out.
ELIAS: They are sorely misled! (Much laughter)
DAVID: So heaven is not like that at all?
NORM: It’s much better than that, right? (Laughter)
ELIAS: First of all, there is no PLACE of heaven. There is merely all of consciousness, and all of consciousness has no need for orgasmic states; although your state of being and your joyousness within consciousness non-physically focused may be termed to be rapturous. Therefore, you may compare your state of orgasmic rapture, which you view to be the epitome of the heightened of senses and joyfulness within your physical focus, as very weakly comparable to non-physical elements. (Pause)
HELEN: Obviously, a long time ago, through religious factions and different things, we’ve created a stigma around sex. Can you explain why we did that?
ELIAS: This also reinforces your movement into separation from essence. In your movement throughout your history of becoming more separated in your attention and your forgetfulness of essence for the purity of your experience within this dimension, you also divorce yourself from elements of essence. Therefore, even within your imagery you create belief systems that shall be separating of you.
In this, you have created belief systems to be placing taboos on sexual activity. You also create this as another barrier in your lack of remembrance of essence, that there is no gender within essence. Therefore, to reinforce the purity of the experience within this physical focus – of emotion and sexual orientation and experiences – you separate, that you may more fully experience each manifestation of sexual orientation.
HELEN: I don’t understand. You’re saying for the purity of sex, for the purity of the experience, that we ... I don’t understand.
ELIAS: Within essence, there is no gender. Within essence, there are no taboos. Within essence, there is no right or wrong. Within your belief systems that you have created within this dimension, you separate. Therefore, you separate into creations of genders. Within your manifestations, in agreeing to participate within this dimension for the sexual experience, you choose to be creating within three manifestations at the least for those experiences: one being male, one being female, one being homosexual. Within these experiences you have created many belief systems, but these belief systems serve to separate you from the remembrance of essence, therefore allowing you the purity of the experience. If you are not holding the belief systems of the taboos of homosexuality, for example, you shall not allow yourself the purity of the experience.
Also, you hold belief systems that serve as motivation for you. If you are being instructed that any element is taboo, it creates an automatic fascination within you. Therefore, you are motivated to explore. You move beyond your confines and limitations of duplicity and you allow yourself permission to explore these areas that are taboo. Although you may be exploring privately and to your thinking secretly, you continue to be motivated to explore.
In an instance that any individual expresses to you, ‘You may not do this,’ you shall automatically naturally within you respond with, ‘I SHALL do this,’ for within essence you hold a knowing that there is no element that may be denied to you. You also hold the knowing that there is no right or wrong. This provides you, in spite of your belief systems, a very strong motivation to move into areas that are denied to you as resulting of your belief systems.
This is not to say that your belief systems have not limited you within many areas and also within your sexual orientations, for you also hold fearfulness of damnation of your immortal souls, that you may enter areas that cross the line of taboo and this may not be acceptable. But you enter now into information and a knowledge that there is no limitation for yourselves, and there is no area that is unacceptable for your experience.
You have also been told that pleasure is good. It provides you with an ease within your value fulfillment. You may be accomplishing your value fulfillment without pleasure, but in moving in the direction of pleasure you accomplish your value fulfillment with less thickness. (Humorously) Therefore, you may all engage within an orgy, indulge yourselves with pleasure, and accomplish your value fulfillment with much less thickness! (Grinning, and much laughter)
HELEN: Alright!
DAVID: So what about sexual diseases incorporated in things like orgies and people getting other people’s diseases by sexually being promiscuous, so to speak? I know that be a belief systems, I guess, but....
ELIAS: Sexual diseases are generated by belief systems. Just as you may create any dis-ease within you which is influenced by your belief systems and your own issues that you hold, you may also be creating dis-ease within areas of sexuality. As you DO hold religious belief systems that suggest to you that sexual activity is not acceptable, you create dis-ease to be reinforcing of these belief systems.
DAVID: This becomes a vicious circle with regards ... like AIDS. A person will say, ‘I’m not going to get AIDS,’ and get it.
ELIAS: Although as I have expressed to you, at times certain dis-ease(s), as with AIDS, are not merely influenced by belief systems. These are epidemics which are created as a mass statement. Although individually each individual creates this dis-ease within themselves for their own reasons and are influenced by their own individual belief systems, en masse there is another reason for the creation of this dis-ease.
DAVID: So our other physical focuses, you say, are affecting of each other. Is it correct to say that in two of mine that I recalled vividly in a dream, one where I was a high-class prostitute of a period where then or there it wasn’t considered like prostitution is today ... I was actually a high priestess. This was a vivid dream that I connected to as one of my focuses. Was this correct? (Elias nods) And another one also was involved purely as a focus of sexual experience that bleeds though. Would it be correct in affecting of this focus?
ELIAS: All of your focuses are influencing of all of your focuses. As I have stated, at times certain focuses may be more influencing of other focuses. Now; I may also express to you that another focus may NOT be more influencing, but YOU may choose to be drawing energy from another focus to be reinforcing of your focus presently and your belief systems within this focus.
DAVID: Okay. So do we all in this room have focuses presently going on that are very sexual oriented?
ELIAS: Yes ... as is this one! (Grinning)
DAVID: Right; but whereas some people in this room would probably choose to believe that they are walking the ‘path of righteousness,’ so to speak. Therefore, they would not think of themselves as being promiscuous, yet another focus of theirs would be promiscuous.
ELIAS: This is correct, but your mere existence within this physical focus places you in the experience of being a sexual being regardless of your actions. Your thought processes magnate to your sexuality. Your physical feelings reflect this regardless of your actions.
DAVID: Okay. If an individual experiences what they call impotency, a doctor would say that’s a problem with their psychological imbalance or chemical imbalance. What is impotency?
ELIAS: This also is an action influenced by your belief systems. In lack of acceptance of self, an individual may image this with this action of impotency in not believing that they are worthy and imaging a lack of what you term to be ‘performance,’ for they hold very strong issues and belief systems in the area of lack of acceptance of self and duplicity, and they may image this in this manner.
DAVID: So for example, body consciousness is involved. The mind may say, ‘I want a woman,’ but the body may say, ‘No, it’s a man I want.’ Therefore, they fear impotency, and that mirrors conflict between the conscious mind wanting it and the body consciousness ... do you know what I’m saying?
ELIAS: It may be at times. This is not a rule. For the most part, individuals experiencing this situation experience this as they create an instruction to the body consciousness to be not performing in its most intimate fashion, for the individual holds a great lack of acceptance of self and may not be intimate with self.
HELEN: So that would be the same with an orgasm? Like if you have a hard time having an orgasm, that’s lack of acceptance of self?
ELIAS: Correct. You do not allow yourself to share with another individual; which as I have expressed, this is the physical mirror action of the interconnectedness of essence, and you do not allow yourself to engage in this action and share physically with another individual and loosen your hold upon your separation, for you do not accept yourself. Therefore, this creates a situation of fearfulness. If you are not accepting of self, you shall be guarded. You shall limit yourself, for you shall also not accept that another individual shall be accepting of you.
You hold very DEEP belief systems in these areas. You guard yourselves very carefully. You hold to your individual energies very carefully and very seriously, for you hold very strong belief systems of hurtfulness. You also hold very strong belief systems in what you THINK of as love. You do not ‘give away’ love and you do not receive love easily, for this is an element to be guarded, and if mistreated it appears to be extremely hurtful. Better not to engage this area than to engage the hurtfulness.
I express to you, you do not GIVE love. You do not RECEIVE love. You do not ENGAGE love. You merely experience. It merely is. It is not an entity. It is not a thing that you may pass to each other. It is a state of being, and in it there is no hurtfulness. It is merely your belief systems that create the illusion of hurtfulness, although within your belief systems and your feelings, your emotions within this dimension, it is reality of this hurtfulness. You do FEEL this, but this is dictated by your belief systems. You have created many situations in the area of your sexuality, in limiting yourselves with regard to your belief systems.
HELEN: So I have a question. So if as a child ... sorry if this makes anybody uncomfortable here, but this is the sex session! I’m gonna get my twenty bucks! (Big grin from Elias, and much laughter) So if as a child you were molested by a family member and you perceive this to be a traumatic experience as a child, that’s a belief system? It’s not ... I mean, it’s not a damaging experience ’cause there is no right and wrong? Are you saying ... what I think you’re saying is that ... I don’t know. I don’t know!
ELIAS: Within your dimension, you DO HOLD belief systems of right and wrong. Therefore, they are reality. I am not expressing to you that this is non-reality. It IS reality within this dimension. But I express to you that it is a direct reality influenced by your belief systems. Therefore, I may also express to you that if you are assaulted or molested as a child and engaging in sexual activity with another individual, this is not IN ESSENCE right or wrong. It is merely a choice of experience. It is your belief systems that suggest a right and wrong to you.
You may engage in sexual activity as a small one and if you are not holding belief systems that this be wrong, if other individuals about you within your society are not suggesting to you that this be wrong, you shall not bear psychological affectingness. You merely are affected in what you term to be psychological aspects for the reason that you also dwell within a society that expresses mass belief systems to you that this activity is unacceptable.
As you engage within sexual activity at ANY age, as you begin initially, is it not creating discomfort physically?
HELEN: You mean when you first start to have sex with someone? At the beginning of the actual action?
ELIAS: Correct.
HELEN: Physical discomfort?
ELIAS: At your very first encounter.
HELEN: Oh yeah! You mean when I was a virgin!
ELIAS: It matters not what age you are, but you place belief systems upon small ones and you reinforce these belief systems by expressing that this is more hurtful to a small one.
HELEN: You’re talking about physically, when you have sex for the first time ever?
ELIAS: Correct. You reinforce this belief system also by including psychological hurtfulness. Without the belief system, the small one is not psychologically affected.
HELEN: So you’re saying that there have been, in this physical focus on Earth, children that have had sex with adults that have gone unscathed from the experience?
ELIAS: Correct.
HELEN: Because no one told them that it was a shameful, wrong thing?
ELIAS: Correct.
VICKI: But you’re not talking about instances where people force themselves on children and hurt them?
ELIAS: I am not speaking of what you term to be violent acts.
VICKI: Right. We’re talking two different things here.
ELIAS: This would be a different situation. This is a choice of a victim and a perpetrator.
HELEN: So if you didn’t grow up in a society like that, like most of us didn’t, and you suffer emotional or psychological scars from that ... well, I have a feeling I know what you’re going to say, but how do you get past that and go on to being free sexually?
ELIAS: By allowing yourself to be accepting of self, and recognizing realistically that you create your reality within every moment. There are no victims. I am quite aware that this may seem to you within your belief systems to be harsh and also to be quite difficult to accomplish. I do not express to you within physical focus that you may not be experiencing difficulty in objectifying an acceptance, for this is requiring of your addressing to your own belief systems and accepting all elements of yourself. There is no one element of yourself that is worse or better than any other element of yourself. All of your experience is that which is you, and all of this is acceptable. It is merely your belief systems that suggest to you that SOME of your experiences, some of YOU, is not acceptable.
HELEN: Because ... I mean in actuality, we choose what to experience when we’re here, right?
ELIAS: Correct.
HELEN: So, nothing happens without an agreement?
ELIAS: Correct, and this be one focus. You hold countless focuses with innumerable experiences. I am aware that THIS focus is where your attention be. Therefore, it is all-consuming to you; but you may find comfort in knowing that this one focus is not all of you, that you hold countless experiences in countless focuses.
HELEN: So is there a way to summon strength from other focuses in that area?
ELIAS: You may if you are so choosing, although it is unnecessary, for you are being lent energy by all of your other focuses and all of essence. You receive this energy, and it reforms to be the most beneficial to this particular focus that it may be.
NORM: Now, you’re talking about the probable focuses of Norman, not the other focuses of Stephen [Norm]?
ELIAS: All.
NORM: All. That was going to be my question. All taboos stimulate curiosity and conceptualization, and all conceptualizations create other Normans, right?
ELIAS: All that you allow as a thought creates another probable self.
NORM: Right. Now for example, we have discussed one of these that I felt I knew, and it was the vase artist. Is he sexually oriented?
ELIAS: Yes.
NORM: Homosexually?
ELIAS: (Accessing) Not necessarily.
NORM: Dilettante, huh?
ELIAS: Correct. (Grinning)
NORM: Okay. (Chuckling)
DAVID: Is it true to say that all men and women carry homosexual tendencies with them in this focus now?
ELIAS: No. Each focus has created a choice for that experience. If you are choosing to be engaging as homosexual, this shall be your choice for that experience within that focus. If you are choosing not to be engaging homosexually and you are choosing to be experiencing merely within male or female, this also shall be your experience. In actuality, homosexuality is an incorrect terminology for this ‘other’ focus. This be the reason that I have expressed at the onset of these sessions that you choose to manifest as male, female, or other, for you are not choosing to be homosexual. You are choosing NOT to be aligning singularly with female or male gender and sexuality.
RETA: At one time didn’t you go as far as to say that your practice of your sexual orientation could be non-practice, and that would be your homosexual? Not having desire for female or male, but just going through life without a push for a sexual desire, and that would be non-sexual? Like maybe a monk or a person who ... it isn’t their prime focus in life. That’s just something that they happen to be.
ELIAS: Incorrect. This also is a choice as influenced by belief systems. The individuals are not manifest into this physical dimension without sexual orientation. They choose to DENY their sexual orientation through an influence of their belief systems, believing that the lack or denial of sexual activity or orientation is more spiritual; the denial of the flesh. These are merely belief systems that you have created. Why create a sexual dimension and deny your experience?
RETA: Well, I guess it’s just another choice!
ELIAS: Correct.
RETA: But then that being one side of it, and the other side could be completely, openly homosexual. I mean, there’s all the varieties in between. It’s not ... that ‘other,’ to me, takes a lot of space.
ELIAS: Yes.
RETA: Not female, not male, but that ‘other.’ You could be from one range to the another in that particular....
ELIAS: You are quite correct. Some individuals choose to manifest within this particular dimension within a focus creating genitalia of both!
RETA: Yes, right. And some of them want to be very open about it, and some of them just go through their life and that’s just part of them and they don’t have to be.
ELIAS: This is a dictate of their belief systems.
CATHY: What about people that are ... say someone is born a man and always felt they were a woman, and then when they’re forty they go through all these changes to become a woman?
ELIAS: This be their choice also. Just as you may alter any element within your focus as any moment, you may also alter your sexual orientation and choose within a focus to change.
CATHY: That puts these people in the ‘other’ category, or no?
ELIAS: No.
CATHY: No. They’re not, because if you’re in the ‘other’ category, that’s where you are.
ELIAS: Correct.
VICKI: So you could do the male and the female thing in one focus?
ELIAS: Correct.
VICKI: Then you’d only have to come here twice! (Laughter)
ELIAS: (Grinning) Ah! Cheating! (Laughter)
HELEN: So is bisexual ‘other?’
ELIAS: Yes, at times. At times it is not ‘other,’ for an individual may be experiencing one sexual orientation or another, and merely CHOOSES to be engaging within sexual activity of more variety.
HELEN: Experimentation.
ELIAS: Experience!
NORM: Is this going to continue in the shift?
ELIAS: It be your choice!
NORM: No, I mean the three ... I’m curious again. Why is there such a rule that you have to be male, female, or homosexual?
ELIAS: It is not a rule! It is a CHOICE. It is an agreement that you have chosen, to be creating this particular one dimension with this sexual orientation. Therefore, if choosing within essence to be entering into the participation of this particular physical focus, you also choose to be agreeing to the manifestation of three sexual orientations, therefore allowing yourself the spectrum of experience of the sexual orientation within this particular dimension.
NORM: Why? (Somebody starts to say something) No, why?? I mean, it wouldn’t HAVE to be!
ELIAS: (Intently) You hold countless – underline – countless physical dimensions. Each of them hold guidelines. It matters not that you choose to enter guidelines into this one dimension, for you hold all other experiences within all other dimensions. This is what you have created within this ONE dimension.
NORM: It seems like a constraint, and I don’t like constraints!
ELIAS: You are not constrained, for you are experiencing every other possible experience!
NORM: I want them all!
ELIAS: You have them! (Laughter)
RETA: Would be it outlandish to ask you, like for instance in maybe another dimension, what they have chosen for, I guess, the equivalent of re-population?
ELIAS: It holds no bearing to you within this physical focus.
RETA: I know that, but I was just curious about another dimension.
ELIAS: (Grinning) If you hold curiosity you may investigate and you may view yourself, although you may not understand and it shall hold no meaning to you within this dimension!
VICKI: I have a question regarding something David was talking about ... about if you consciously think to yourself that you want to have sex with a woman, but your body feels a draw to have sex with a man, or something like that. My question is, is that possible, that you would subjectively direct your body consciousness to argue with you? Does that make sense?
ELIAS: You subjectively instruct your body consciousness to be conflicting with you continuously! If you were not, you would not experience pain! This be no different. You are holding to energy. You are not accepting of self and you are responding to your belief systems. Therefore, you may be creating in this area of sexuality. It is no different than your creation of a dis-ease. It is merely directed specifically. The belief systems are specific, and are involved with sexual belief systems. You shall not be creating of these types of actions without holding sexual belief systems that are influencing. You may create many dis-ease(s) and the belief systems involved may have no thing involving sexuality, but you will not be creating of sexual dis-ease or dysfunction without holding belief systems in the areas of sexuality that are limiting of you.
HELEN: So you’re saying, anyone that has any type of sexual disease holds belief systems that are limiting of their sexual experience?
ELIAS: Correct, and they are also holding to fearfulness within these belief systems.
DAVID: So would sexual experience be a good way of releasing many of these geysers that we hold within ourselves?
ELIAS: This be another belief system that you hold! (Laughter) You hold belief systems in regard to sexual activity as an ‘energy release.’
VICKI: But if we believe it, it’s true, right?
ELIAS: You are not releasing energy.
VICKI: But you could be releasing your own stress or confusion or whatever.
ELIAS: Correct.
DAVID: So it’s healthy, in that area! Better than going to a doctor and getting a pill!
ELIAS: I express to you that in your belief systems of health, your sexual activity within this dimension is quite healthy, and the denial of such is quite limiting!
DAVID: I agree! (Laughter)
ELIAS: You also have created your sexual activity as pleasurable. Therefore, it holds more of an attraction to you!
DAVID: It’s also good for the imagination!
ELIAS: If you are allowing.
DAVID: For expanding the imagination?
ELIAS: If you are allowing. I shall express to you that this activity also may be quite enlightening to you in what you view to be your spirituality, for there are more elements involved with this activity than you allow yourselves to experience. If you are opening within your awareness and consciousness, you may also use this activity to manipulate your awareness and to be a vehicle, so to speak, for experiencing other elements of consciousness.
NORM: Ah! A method!
ELIAS: Ah! A method! (Grinning)
DAVID: As in taking you past the physical and allowing yourself to go into other areas other than the physical? For example, I believe I’ve gone there with another person sexually. I’ve gone past the physical feeling of the sexual experience and experienced deeper and further. Is that sort of similar to what you’re saying?
ELIAS: In a manner of speaking.
NORM: The physiological reaction that occurs in the brain, does that cause or is that because of this spiritual interaction? For example, a hormone release then that occurs. I think that’s what I’m talking about, in that it releases energy and nervousness.
ELIAS: The physical does not create the spiritual. The physical does not create the subjective. The subjective creates the response, and is directing of the response within the body consciousness.
We shall break, and you may continue with your questioning.
BREAK 7:54 PM.
RESUME 8:23 PM. (Time was eight seconds)
(Vic’s note: The conversation during the break was fascinating – too bad we don’t have it on tape! Here’s one thing we do have on tape …)
MARY: Just make sure you don’t ask any questions for me ’cause I’d rather not know!
(Vic’s note: this was Mary’s last comment before resuming.)
ELIAS: Continuing.
DENNIS: I have a general question. I’ve noticed that – it’s kind of a two-part question – that if all your focuses that you have ... you experience let’s say a little bit of everything within these focuses. How come in this society now, there seems to be some cases that people are not accepting of alternative lifestyles, so to speak? They’re not accepting of someone who is homosexual or transsexual or a transvestite, to the point that they want to do violence against these people for the simple reason that they don’t agree with what they are. The second part of that is, it seems to me now, because I have a teenager, that kids his age and my daughter’s age tend to be more accepting of alternative lifestyles, and I was wondering if that’s part of the shift that’s happening?
ELIAS: Correct.
DENNIS: And then the other part basically is, why are people drawn so much to violence against someone because of what their sexual orientation is?
ELIAS: This would be the choice of the individual focus. Although you are influenced and draw energy from all of your other focuses, as I have stated previously, that energy is reformed to be beneficial to you within this particular focus and redirects itself to be in alignment with your individual intent.
There are some individuals, many individuals, that choose within their focus to be unaccepting and intolerant within their experience. They are indulging their belief systems. These individuals shall be those that experience more trauma within the action of this shift, individuals that hold so very tightly to their belief systems and create much intolerance, for this is in direct contradiction to the action of this shift.
DAVID: What about somebody who is heterosexual, but in their dream state has a homosexual dream experience?
ELIAS: This merely be imagery that an individual may offer to themselves in subjective activity, in recognition that there is no incorrectness within this action.
DAVID: So they don’t necessarily have to wake up and think they had a nightmare?!
ELIAS: Although they may, (laughter) as their belief systems begin to be kicking in! (Grinning)
I have stated to you previously that within your dream state you are allowing your subjective activity in imagery, and you relax your belief systems within your subjective awareness. This is not to say that you do not HOLD belief systems subjectively within this dimension, but you allow a relaxation of these belief systems. Therefore, you may engage in more activities within your dream state than you may allow yourself within your objective waking state.
DAVID: So with regards fragmentation, supposing I met somebody who was an aspect of Mylo [David] and I was drawn to them sexually. That is possible, to have like a sexual encounter with your own essence, so to speak?
ELIAS: Essence incest! (Laughter)
DAVID: It happens, yeah?
ELIAS: Quite!
HELEN: Is sexual attraction to another person ... is that purely a physical thing?
ELIAS: No. You attract yourself or you draw yourself to another individual for many reasons. Your physical form does not respond to ANYTHING without direction from your subjective awareness. Therefore, there are many reasons that you may be what you term ‘physically attracted’ to another individual, but these attractions are also influenced by your belief systems. You may view two individuals that may present themselves in very much the same manner. One you shall attract yourself to and the other you may not, for you hold belief systems that you do not even recognize of what is acceptable to you.
HELEN: Physically?
ELIAS: Correct.
VICKI: So that would have to do with your belief systems about other people’s physical appearance and what you believe you’re attracted to?
ELIAS: Correct, and also your belief systems of what you shall attract yourself to within personality type.
HELEN: Aren’t we more compatible with certain personality types?
ELIAS: At times, but if you are not speaking of counterpart actions and you are not engaging counterpart actions, your belief systems dictate to you where you shall be attracted.
HELEN: Without belief systems, would we have sexual attraction for everyone?
ELIAS: Not necessarily. You may not within opposite counterparts.
VICKI: Other than that?
ELIAS: Other than opposite counterpart action, you would not be creating distinctions.
HELEN: What are counterparts? That’s probably something that I should look up and investigate myself. (Elias grins and nods) Okay!
DAVID: So is there some kind of link between a son marrying a woman that reminds him of and looks like his mother, in regards to sexual attraction to their mother that they would never express in that link?
ELIAS: This would be belief systems also.
DAVID: Right, but what is the link between a man marrying a woman because there’s that attraction that reminds him subjectively of his mother, sexually and physically?
ELIAS: For you hold belief systems that the role of the mother is nurturing. Therefore, you may also at times attract yourself to another individual that displays this resemblance.
VICKI: I’d like to ask a couple of questions about orgasms. In my experience, I have had some orgasms that were a whole lot more intense than your run-of-the-mill orgasm, so to speak, (laughter) and I’m curious about that. Why is there a really great intensity within what appears to me to be a minority of orgasms?
ELIAS: There may be different reasonings for this action. At times, very many times, this may be a result of an imbalance within your energy centers.
VICKI: The intensity?
ELIAS: Correct. If your energy centers are all rotating and radiating within harmony to each other and you are within balance, so to speak, the intensity of your experience shall be greater.
VICKI: Hmm. Well, I guess if that’s the case, my energy centers haven’t been in balance most of MY life! (We all crack up)
HELEN: Mine either, Vicki! It’s all right, honey. You’re not alone!
(Vic’s note: Thanks, Helen! It’s great to not be alone!)
ELIAS: This is not the ONLY reason, but it IS a reason that is most common, for as you are balancing of your energy centers you are also allowing a free flow of energy throughout your physical form. Therefore, you create more of an intensity within your physical responses, but you may also hold different reasons. You may be choosing to engage an action of sexual intercourse, but you are merely engaging the action and not truly choosing to be engaging this action.
VICKI: In my experience, the times I have had some very intense orgasms have been with people that I have a very great amount of feeling for emotionally. I’ve never had that experience with just a casual sexual encounter, say.
ELIAS: This is also an influence of belief systems. Your belief systems are quite influencing of your performance, so to speak, in sexual activities, and there are very many belief systems that may be influencing of your action within this area or your limitations within this area. (Pause)
HELEN: Why is it that men seem to achieve orgasm easier than women? Is that a belief system, that we just believe that, or is it a physical fact?
ELIAS: It is a combination of physical actions and belief systems; more of belief systems, for this is influencing of the physical actions. As you ARE sexually oriented and your entire physical dimension is based upon sexual orientation and emotion, all that you do and all of your belief systems are influencing of these areas. Therefore, they become quite complex. There are many, many belief systems that may be influencing. This may be with males AND females.
You hold a belief system that it is more difficult for females to be achieving sexual orgasm. You do not hold the same appendages. Therefore, within your belief systems, one is viewed as more pronounced. It is not, but within your belief systems it is viewed in this manner, therefore more easily accessible. It is also believed that the female need be achieving an emotional state to be sexually excited. This also is a belief system. It is unnecessary, but you believe this. Therefore, you set into motion the creation of this and it is reinforced by BOTH sexual orientations, male and female. You allow for males the permission to engage within sexual activity without emotional attachments or emotional preparation. Therefore, they allow themselves more freedom within this action.
You have created many belief systems for centuries within religious elements, viewing the female as sacred, therefore more in alignment with self-denial. The males are the barbarians, the conquerors. Therefore, they allow themselves and YOU allow them more freedom, for this is in alignment with the mass belief systems. The females are fragile. They are to be held in reverence. They are the mothers. Therefore, they are not allowed this freedom. Your role is not to be experiencing pleasure. Your role is to be procreating. This is a direct dictate of your belief systems. (Humorously) And although within this very advanced time framework that you are occupying presently you hold such liberation, you continue to hold these belief systems underlyingly and they continue to be influencing!
HELEN: Of your sexual experience?
ELIAS: Correct.
DAVID: Outside of physical focus, does essence continue to have some kind of intimacy with another essence? Like for example, I know it’s not the same, but say yourself and Paul (Patel). There’s a closeness there.
ELIAS: In the manner of your thought processes within physical focus, there is NO comparison.
DAVID: But there is some form of intimacy?
ELIAS: It is NOT the same. It is very far removed from any thought process that you hold within physical focus.
DAVID: Would you say, in terms of how I think of it then, that it is better?
ELIAS: It is different.
DAVID: But it exists?
ELIAS: NOT in the manner of your thought processes.
DAVID: But in some other manner?
ELIAS: NOT in the manner of your thought processes, no! (Laughter) It would be quite distorting and inaccurate for me to express this to you in ANY manner of your thought processes.
DAVID: I just want to make sure that if I don’t get it in this life, I want to make sure that I’m going to find it! (Laughter)
ELIAS: In the manner of your thought processes, you shall not find it if you do not find it within this focus! (Grinning)
DAVID: (Laughing) Okay!
NORM: You say that the sexual orientations in this dimension are mirrors of elements in the essence world. Would I be able to extend that to the biological world, where there’s every diversity that you can imagine in regard to sexual orientation? For example, plants can have both male and female parts, and they can be male at one time and change to female at another, and so on and so forth. All of that is elements of ... I mean, that great huge diversity would then be a mirroring of, partially, what essence can experience?
ELIAS: Correct.
NORM: Interesting!
RETA: Have you ever noticed that a lot of people, in their imagery to be attractive to another person, greatly find themselves in that other person? If you sit and watch couples going by, for instance, even their facial expressions can be a lot the same. I think we’re attracted to ourselves in a lot of instances of physical attraction, and it may be the same way in a subjective way.
ELIAS: At times, but this would not be a rule. You build quite elaborations around your sexual movements. You have even created ritual within your creatures for the display of your sexuality.
DAVID: How about women who, especially today, are lining up to get boob jobs? (Laughter) You know, breast implants? For THEIR ears! I know it’s a belief system, but I think they need to hear that!
ELIAS: It IS a belief system that you need to be adorning yourselves to be creating a more attractive ‘package,’ but throughout your history you have indulged yourselves in adorning to be more pleasing to each other visually. This be also part of your rituals, which you also mirror within your creation of your creatures and THEIR rituals to each other and their adornments that they display to each other for the same reason.
DAVID: So why are we attracted more so to beauty than someone who you’d call a ‘plain jane,’ since the beginning of time?
ELIAS: For you DO attract yourself to beauty. You CREATE beauty, within this dimension, all about you. You are quite enamored with physical creations and their aesthetic value.
DAVID: But we put so much importance on that beauty, compared to someone who isn’t beautiful, so to speak.
ELIAS: Quite! It is part of your creation within this physical dimension. Individuals may choose a particular focus to NOT be creating physical beauty, or what you term to be deformities, for the experience of not aligning with your officially accepted reality.
DAVID: Is sex aligned more with Zuli?
ELIAS: No.
NORM: In the shift, are we going to be able to improve our sexual capabilities?
ELIAS: If you are so choosing! (Grinning)
NORM: I mean, for example, say that I want to be able to produce a perfume that attracts more so than I do now! I could do that, right?
ELIAS: If you are so choosing. It is merely dependent upon the direction of your attention.
DAVID: Is there an odor that is attractive that we’re not aware of when somebody is feeling sexual, something that is emitted from our bodies?
ELIAS: At times, but this also is dependent upon your creations and your belief systems. Certain individuals, certain cultures DO create physical emissions of odor that they believe to be attracting, and this enters into THEIR rituals. But within certain other cultures, such as your own, you do not create this situation, although you engage in artificial odors. (Grinning)
DAVID: What we term to be a bit more prettier-smelling than natural body odor.
ELIAS: Correct, but this is also an element of your belief systems. Within the area of sexual rituals and activity, all of your senses are engaged. Therefore, your sense of smell also is affected.
HELEN: Heightened?
ELIAS: Correct.
NORM: Using our nine [inner] senses that will become more aware, we will be able to determine the correct activity to get the appropriate response in the future better than we do today then, right? (Elias pauses, eyes closed, and then exhibits a crooked smile, and we all crack up)
ELIAS: ‘The correct response better than you do today.’ Incorrect! For there is no ‘correct response!’
NORM: Well, to satisfy the desire for the correct ... for the experience of the other one.
ELIAS: The individual shall have the experience that they create! You are not creating their experience for them!
NORM: But there are some intersections, interactions?
ELIAS: There is intersection and there is interaction, but the individual shall create the experience that they choose to be creating.
NORM: I will not be able to use those [inner] senses as a tool, then?
ELIAS: You may use your senses NOW as a tool to be more intuitively aware of another individual, but this shall not be creating of THEIR experience! They shall create their own experience!
(Humorously) Although it may be beneficial for you to engage your senses – your inner senses – and your intuition NOW, for if your partner is not in agreement with you and is not in compliance with you, you shall know and disengage your activity! (Grinning)
DAVID: Without belief systems in the sexual area, would we then naturally respond to our sexual responses the same way that animals do to each other?
ELIAS: Yes.
DENNIS: What about the individual that is attracted ... because when you think about sexuality in terms of being intimate with someone, sharing private personal moments or whatever with someone, what about the person that has a sexual fetish? They can only be attracted sexually to a woman’s feet, or their elbow. (Laughter) Is that also a belief system? Because some people can’t function sexually without going to the toes, so to speak. I’m curious about that.
ELIAS: This would also be a choice for experience, moving outside of the officially accepted reality and moving outside of the officially accepted mass belief systems. (Pause)
VICKI: I have a question if no one else does. It seems like, in this society anyway, we create more conflict around this concept of sex than we do almost anything else. Our whole lives, we create conflict around sex. So my question is, if this is one of the reasons we choose this experience is for this sexual experience, why do we create so much conflict over why we came here in the first place?
ELIAS: For you have developed many belief systems in this area also.
VICKI: Well, it gets confusing to me. To go back to this concept of pleasure, and if you indulge yourself in pleasure you’re creating less of a thickness ...
ELIAS: Correct.
VICKI: ... and fulfilling your value more effortlessly ...
ELIAS: Correct.
VICKI: ... it seems like we would naturally gravitate towards that within why we chose this physical dimension.
ELIAS: You DO naturally gravitate towards these elements, but you also have created separation, and in this you have developed more and more belief systems.
VICKI: I kind of understand the affectingness of the belief systems, but to take another physical pleasure for an example, eating is a very pleasurable experience in this focus too. It’s not how we’ve created this focus, to come here mostly to eat, not in the manner that you say that part of the reason we choose this is for a sexual experience, but we don’t create near the conflict around eating or other physical pleasures as we do around the sexual experience.
ELIAS: Ah, but you do! (Other people murmur agreement)
VICKI: Well, maybe I just don’t see it that way.
ELIAS: Within YOUR belief systems you do not create as much conflict or you do not view as much conflict, but within mass you DO create much conflict in many other areas.
VICKI: So this would just be a perception on my part, is what you’re saying, that we create more conflict around this concept of sex than we do anything?
ELIAS: Correct. You create more conflict around the concept of pleasure in all of its forms than you do with any other element, and this is reinforcing of your issues of duplicity and the nobleness of the denial of the flesh.
VICKI: Okay, I just have one other quick question about this concept of pleasure, from the last time we all talked about it. We were talking about it in terms of altering one’s consciousness with alcohol and/or drug use. It’s confusing to me that if you take these substances and it’s pleasurable to you, you’re creating less of a thickness for yourself. At the same time, these particular types of substances create a thickness in your reality, and I don’t really understand that part of it.
ELIAS: They create a thickness, for you hold belief systems and you allow yourselves to be influenced by the belief systems. If you are not allowing yourself to be influenced by the belief systems, then they do not create a thickness; but you ARE very influenced by your belief systems, and you are influenced by the belief systems of the masses, by other individuals. This creates a conflict within the individual. They are conflicting within themselves, for they are struggling within the battling of two opposing belief systems. THIS creates a thickness. The action itself does not IF you are accepting that pleasure is acceptable and that pleasure creates less of a thickness within accomplishing your value fulfillment, and IF you are accepting that no substance shall be hurtful to you. It is merely a belief system.
VICKI: So does that mean that if I take substances and I have accepted the belief system that they create a thickness and so they don’t create a thickness for me any more, do I still experience the physical effects of that substance?
ELIAS: If you are choosing, yes.
VICKI: But it will not create a thickness in my reality in the terms that you’re talking about?
ELIAS: Correct. The thickness occurs with the action of the opposing belief systems; the battling within the individual. This may occur also as you are moving in the direction of subjective movement into an acceptance of certain belief systems and actions and practices. Objectively, you may be creating of conflict temporarily, for you are engaging a battle between the mass belief systems and the movement that you are engaging to be accepting of a belief system.
VICKI: So with all of the religious belief systems that we hold regarding sex, quite often would we then, when we engage sex, be creating this same thickness, this same battling?
ELIAS: At times. This be why you create so many difficulties in this area. As I have stated, there are very many reasons why you create dis-ease/dysfunction within the area of your sexual activity, all of which are very influenced by your belief systems.
VICKI: Okay, thank you.
(Vic’s note: Now, what I get from this is that the reason we create so much conflict around sex is mostly because of religious beliefs. Why didn’t he just answer my question initially is my question!)
DON: ... Back to sex! I’m assuming that any interaction between individuals has a spiritual or an essential aspect. Is that fair?
ELIAS: Correct.
DON: Is it also fair to say that the more intimate that contact, the more closely we’re connecting, essentially?
ELIAS: In a manner of speaking, yes.
DON: To me, it seems that sexual contact, sexual intimacy, can bring us closer essentially than almost any other experience we can have on Earth.
ELIAS: If allowed.
DON: It has potential to bring us closer to our central selves.
ELIAS: Correct.
DON: That’s fascinating!
ELIAS: It does hold the potential, if allowed.
DON: Thank you.
ELIAS: You are welcome.
HELEN: It’s very rare that it’s allowed. Would you say that?
ELIAS: Not necessarily. Within YOUR society you limit yourselves to a degree, more so than other societies, but within the whole of your planet in this dimension, it is not necessarily rare.
DON: Is it possible that this huge power of the sexual experience is part of the reason we’ve built up all these taboos about it? Do we fear it? Do we feel that we’re close to something, and build up fears and taboos?
ELIAS: Absolutely. (Don says something inaudible here) Absolutely. It is creating of much fearfulness, for it is an expression unbounded of yourself within physical focus which holds MUCH powerfulness.
DON: So maybe that’s the reason that humans and animals have such a different reaction to sex? Because animals don’t feel that power that we feel. For them, there’s no aspect to sex other than the physical aspect.
ELIAS: Not necessarily. Your creatures also do not hold belief systems. Therefore, they do not place judgments upon their sexual activity. But look to your creatures. They display tremendous ritual, and they also are accepting of their sexual actions. They place no belief systems and judgments upon them. They accept them for what they are. They do not hold quite the same action as do you, for they are not responding within their sexual orientation to elements of essence as are you, but they hold less difficulties and conflicts than do you, for they do not hold the belief systems. They also hold intimacy.
DON: Are a lot of our belief systems built on fears that we will experience coming too close to something that’s essentially true?
ELIAS: Correct.
DON: And animals can’t experience that, so they couldn’t develop belief systems.
ELIAS: They have not been created in this manner. Your creatures are not essence. Therefore, they have not been created in a manner that you endow them with all of your belief systems. This is not necessarily limiting of them. In many aspects, they experience more freedom than you allow yourselves.
DON: There’s not much correlation. You look at dolphins and other very intelligent animals, and there’s really not much evidence that they develop any of the belief systems that we have.
ELIAS: No.
DON: So I guess my question is – what I’m trying to get to is – is there a direct correlation between the fact that we are central creatures and that we do develop belief systems? Are the two related? I mean, are we fighting ourselves in that way?
ELIAS: Yes, you are conflicting yourselves, but you are conflicting yourselves within your belief systems. You are limiting yourselves within your belief systems. You are no closer to consciousness than a dolphin. A creature merely holds no fearfulness of consciousness, for it has not separated itself as far from consciousness. There is an allowance of more subjective activity within creatures, for they do not block their subjective interaction. You hold fearfulness of what you term to be unknown; that which you have separated from, that which you do not remember.
DON: Is it because we do remember it on some level that we’re fearful of it?
ELIAS: No. It is that you have forgotten, and THIS creates the fearfulness; but as you move into a remembrance, the fearfulness dissipates.
HELEN: In other words, our belief systems are what keep us at a distance from our essence, so we can have purity of experience ...
ELIAS: Correct.
HELEN: ... in physical focus, and that’s why they were developed in the first place?
ELIAS: Correct; but it is becoming unnecessary for this separation. Therefore, you create this shift in consciousness to be exploring new aspects of your reality, incorporating more of your remembrance and of essence.
HELEN: And less belief systems.
ELIAS: Less separation.
HELEN: Less separation. But belief systems create the separation.
ELIAS: In accepting the belief systems, you create less separation.” [session 255, January 04, 1998]
FORREST: “Moving along to the next question, from Carole. She asks, ‘Is human love between man and woman a belief system which we enter into because we choose to?’
ELIAS: Human love. First of all, yes, you enter into this action and experience as a choice. The subject of human love is complicated. It is a mirror action of knowing held within essence and within consciousness, but it is a translation into physical focus ... certain physical focuses. It is influenced by belief systems and it is an expression and action of emotion, which is a basic element of this particular physical dimension.
I have expressed that the two basic elements of this particular physical dimension are sexuality and emotion. You have created this reality for these experiences, for the exploration of these experiences. Therefore, human love relates to both of these basic elements of your reality and is intertwined with the exploration of both of these elements.
As stated, it is a translation. Therefore, in relation to the truth of love – which there are many truths within consciousness, love being another truth – its translation into physical focus is far removed from the reality of this truth in consciousness and within essence, but it is a mirror action, just as your equipment. Your telephone is a mirror action of a known truth or element of consciousness, of communication and interaction. It is a very limited translation, but it is a mirror action. Your flying machines are a mirror action of projection within consciousness. They are very limited mirror actions, but they are reflections of what is known within consciousness and objectively expressed. In this same manner, human love is also a projection and a translation.
Now; this is not to say that within this translation it may not be transcended into a fuller understanding and experience within your physical dimension. It shall not be expressed in the entire fullness of essence or consciousness, but it may be transcended into a much more effective fullness within physical focus. This is requiring of an allowance of mergence in relationship, of the individuals to be opening fully to each other and allowing this mergence and not blocking. In this, the experience may be a hundredfold to the experience that is accepted within your officially accepted reality.” [session 268, March 08, 1998]
ELIAS: “This dimension is created based upon what physical manifestations of expressions? (Staring at Jen)
JEN: Is that a question? (Laughter)
ELIAS: What physical expressions of manifestation is this particular dimension based upon? (Still staring at Jen)
JEN: Well, it seems to be based on our belief systems.
ELIAS: Your belief systems are a manifestation. They are explanations to yourselves. They are an intricate element of your creation of this dimension, but they are not the base element of your manifestation. They are not the reason that you have created this particular dimension.
JEN: Oh. Physical and emotional experience.
ELIAS: Emotional and sexual.
JEN: Oh, sexual. Excuse me.
ELIAS: And what shall be the first expressions of experience in response to your perceptions and your belief systems before you are even creating of a thought? You shall respond emotionally, or you shall respond sexually.
JEN: If we’re to get to a place where we’re able to neutralize our belief systems so that we’re aware – just a basic or a higher level of awareness, if you will – does that mean that we will have more experience of emotions and sexuality on a different level? I mean, perceptions and belief systems are clouding that experience?
ELIAS: It shall open to you more elements of your expression of creativity in these expressions and within the exploration of these experiences.
Therefore, in a manner of speaking, there is an element that you DO cloud, so to speak, or block your experiences and your expressions as influenced by your belief systems, for these belief systems shall dictate to you that certain elements of the expressions are bad, and therefore you shall not engage, and in this lack of engagement you limit your own creativity and your own expressions within your experiences, for you deny yourselves your own abilities in the area of your own creativity and your own abilities.
JEN: So you want to help us make sure that we don’t deny our creativity.
ELIAS: Quite, or I may express to you more efficiently, YOU wish to help YOURSELVES ...
JEN: Oh, so that’s why we draw ourselves to you.
ELIAS: ... to not be denying of your own creativity, and this has been expressed within your own expressions subjectively within consciousness. And in this, you have inquired for helpfulness – generally, not necessarily specifically – and in response, essences not bound by your dimensional belief systems comply and are offering helpfulness in the response to YOUR request.
Therefore, it is not necessarily the question of MY interest in your creativity or any other essence’s interest within your expressions, but the expression of knowing of intermingledness and merged consciousness.
Therefore, in a manner of speaking, you are expressing a request of yourself, and yourself is responding, and it is presented in an objective fashion of an energy exchange ... or another exchange of expression, which is merely dependent upon the choice of the essence engaging.” [session 331, October 16, 1998]
JEN: “Relationships: monogamy, marriage – those are intimate relationships – communication, giving of one’s energy....
ELIAS: All of these that you express are all the aspects of the one belief system. I have offered this analogy several times within this discussion of relationships and I shall continue to be referring to this particular analogy, for it serves well in helpfulness to individuals to be understanding the concept of the belief system and all of the aspects that the belief system contains.
I have expressed that the belief system is the bird cage. The cage itself is the belief system of relationship in any of its forms. All of the birds contained within this cage, of which there are hundreds within this particular cage, are the aspects of the belief system. You may express those elements such as you have – monogamy, expectations, integrity, ethics, justification, hurtfulness, joyfulness, death, birth, behaviors, sexuality, love, emotion – any of these are all aspects of the belief system itself.
(Intently) The aspects are what influence you to be moving in any given direction. The aspects of the belief system are those elements which are to be addressed to, that you may be accepting of the belief system. And as you address to each aspect and you accept each aspect of the belief system, you allow that little bird to fly away, and you continue to accept the aspects of the belief system until all of the birds have flown from the cage and the cage remains empty, and this would be the action of accepting a belief system.
But as you may allow yourself the information, you may also view that there are very many aspects of each belief system, this belief system holding many more aspects than some of your other belief systems, and as you delve into this belief system and allow yourself to view the aspects, you find more aspects hiding behind other aspects, more birds within this cage that you were unaware objectively of their existence within this cage. These are all elements of the belief system.
It is quite interesting, the web that has been woven with this particular belief system and how very tightly you all hold to these aspects of this belief system, and in your holding to these aspects, you also quite efficiently compare your bird cage to another individuals’ bird cage and you express to yourselves, ‘Ah! This individual holds more colorful birds within their cage than do I! Therefore, I need not be addressing to my own birds, for I shall be waiting for their addressing to their birds!’
JEN: You still learn by viewing their birds and their scenarios ...
ELIAS: Quite!
JEN: ... about the beliefs and letting them go, ACCEPTING them, understanding that that’s what they are.
ELIAS: Indeed you do, for you offer yourself information and you offer yourself the opportunity to be addressing to your own aspects in viewing other individuals and their actions and their addressing to or not addressing to the aspects that they hold.
JEN: And without assuming that there’s a right or wrong, or placing those kinds of beliefs.
ELIAS: Correct. In this, you inquire as to the aspect within romantic relationships of singularity, that which you term to be monogamy; the singularity of individuals, within your language and your terms, creating commitments to each other in singular fashion. Quite interesting! The very language itself lends to aspects of the belief system!
JEN: Oh, quite!
ELIAS: For what shall be the terminology of commitment but another aspect, another bird within the cage? Within your society it is accepted en masse and created in accepted behavior that individuals shall pair. Within your religious belief systems, this is reinforced for the purpose of procreation.
JEN: Yep!
ELIAS: Underlying, this aspect holds great strength, for it has been accepted for much of a time framework. Therefore, it has accumulated much energy.
JEN: It’s a hard thing to break away from!
ELIAS: Quite!
JEN: It’s a nuisance.
ELIAS: Recognize that each aspect of the belief system is a choice. It is not an obligation; it is not an absolute. It is a choice which is influenced. You have created all of these aspects of the belief system for different reasons. This is not to say that any of these aspects are efficient or non-efficient. They are choices that you have chosen to be aligning with and accepting as you create en masse an officially accepted reality. This be one of the reasons that there is much difficulty and trauma in moving into the area of accepting belief systems, for you have set forth a design of officially accepted realities that you create en masse, and the individuals within each given society agree to be following in the direction of the officially established reality.
JEN: This is to strengthen it.
ELIAS: It has created much strength within your societies, but you now move into the direction of self within the action of this shift. You move into the direction of the individual, which is influencing of the mass but not dependent upon the mass.
JEN: Because the mass doesn’t accept self-exploration as very positive. That’s deemed to be selfish.
ELIAS: Correct, and this is the mass expression of duplicity.
JEN: ... That’s nice to hear. Okay, so I want to ask a question about the exchange of energy that comes through sex as we know it. It’s my inquiry into what we term as monogamy and why it’s necessary. I’m curious about the energy that ... how can I say it? ... the way energy comes together in this act. It’s not so much the significance of it ... well, maybe it is. But what’s that all about in connection with essences, the connection of different energies?
ELIAS: It is dependent upon your expression.
JEN: Is it a way for energies to get to know one another at a level much greater than the communication that we know?
ELIAS: There are many areas that may be explored in the aspect of sexuality with respect to relationships. In physical terms, you may place this action as a physical experience that you create to be facilitating of new focuses to be physically entering into this physical dimension.
Now; you also attach significances to this physical action, and within the belief system of relationship you attach certain aspects of the belief system to this physical act, for within this physical act you are physically merging two physical forms, and in this action you may be creating of another physical form. Therefore, you attach great significance to this action. This is not to say that your attachment of significance is right or wrong. It merely is.
In this, you also allow yourselves certain openings. Let me explain.
Just as within certain actions you create focal points to allow yourselves more of an opening to self and to your own awarenesses and to energies, within your objective expressions such as your cards, your crystals, your astrology, your numerology, your rituals, you use these as focal points, as actions that you allow through your belief systems an opening to consciousness and to energy. In like manner, you create a focal point of an action of physical mergence in the area of the action of sexual intercourse.
In this, at times individuals allow themselves to move into an area of opening to their own awarenesses, and in this action of opening to their own awarenesses they may also within agreement allow themselves to open to each other. In this, they allow themselves to experience an exchange of energy and at times a mergence of energy which exceeds physical action.
Within the attachment of your symbolism, which is an aspect of the belief system, you also allow yourselves the ability to be accessing other areas of consciousness, other aspects of self, other aspects of other individuals. In this, if you are choosing and if you are allowing your own openness, you may access other areas of consciousness together that may be quite enlightening to you, so to speak, and may offer you an opening to a remembrance of self and of essence and of the energy of essence, and you may also allow yourself the excitement and exhilaration of not only a physical experience of energy, but also the knowing of the powerfulness of your OWN energy of essence which may be expressed THROUGH you.
You may experience this also individually, but belief systems lend themselves, in the accumulation of energy en masse, to an easement of accomplishment in certain areas. This be the reason that I express to you that belief systems are not bad. They may be limiting, but they are not bad, for in many aspects they lend themselves to your own accomplishments.
In this particular area, the aspect of sexuality may be quite lending of itself in areas of widening your own awareness and your own experiences. You may allow yourself the experience of mergence of essence and not only feel this within energy, but also physically, within your physical senses and within your nervous system of your physical form, if you are opening yourself to this awareness within this sexual activity. For you have created the aspect of the belief system to lend itself in this direction as facilitating to you as a focal point, in like manner to any of your props that you use within physical focus for your attention. They hold symbology, and where you attach symbology you also allow yourselves openness, and you allow yourselves more of your own widening in awareness.
Now; let me express to you that another aspect of this particular area of this belief system is that you attach to this that you need be singularly focused with one other individual. This may lend itself to the actualization of your widening of awareness, for you may allow yourself more of an ability if your attention is singularly focused, but this is not to say that this is the actuality of the situation. It is merely an aspect of the belief system. It matters not. You may be accomplishing of this same action with ANY individual.
Now; let me also offer you another aspect of information in this. You also in physical focus move into the direction of identifications of soul mates. Now, this is a different action. This is not to be promoting of monogamy or singularity in attention with one particular individual, but essences do create similar tones, and in this creation of similar tones they may choose to enter into physical focuses in conjunction with each other, and in this action they may also choose to be creating of many focuses shared between them for many shared experiences.
In this, this creates a situation that you within physical focus identify as soul mates. It is a knowing, a familiarity, and in this familiarity there also is created an easement in energy, and within this easement of energy at times, as you DO hold the familiarity of another individual that you may term to be a soul mate, this lends itself in each individual allowing themselves to move more easily into a trust and acceptance of self and of the other individual, which also lends itself to more of an easement of their joint creations.
Therefore, if you are expressing the inquiry of expanded awareness in areas of sexuality and what you may be accomplishing within energy in your remembrance within experiences of sexual activities, you may allow yourself more of an ability to experience within physical focus with an individual that you view to be a soul mate, for you move more easily into areas of trustfulness. This is not to say that you may not be accomplishing this same action with other individuals or that you need be singular within your attention. It is merely expressing that you generally shall be allowing yourself more effortlessness in the direction of the individual that you identify as soul mate.
JEN: Seems like there’s a lot of it out there.
ELIAS: Quite, and I may express to you that even within one given focus, you hold more than one soul mate.
JEN: And that that’s not necessarily a male.
ELIAS: Quite. It matters not. Gender is merely a choice of the individual focus for the purpose of experience.
JEN: I feel lucky to have been attracted to so many soul mates, or so many people that I seem to have such a high comfort level with.
ELIAS: And this be not luck, but the accomplishment of your creation!
JEN: I’m pleased with this creation!
ELIAS: Very good! I am acknowledging of you in this! (Chuckling)
JEN: Well, this is a treat, Elias, to be in the schoolhouse with the instructor! Thank you!
ELIAS: And I shall be thanking of you also.” [session 308, August 21, 1998]
ELIAS: (Chuckling) “This evening, we shall engage a discussion.
JEN: Oh, good!
ELIAS: And I shall be offering questions, and you may be responding to these questions ...
JEN: (Laughing) Okay....
ELIAS: ... as a difference in our usual delivery. I shall be addressing to a subject matter this evening specifically, and this shall be the reason that I shall be engaging YOU, in questioning you as to your perceptions and your understandings of certain elements, for within this time period, much movement is occurring.
In this, I have expressed within this forum previously to you that there is a wave in consciousness occurring presently, and has been for a time period. Also, I have expressed to you that within this particular time period of this final year of your century and your millennium, much energy has been lent to this time framework. Therefore, energy is what you would term to be very intense – very high, in your terms – which lends to an ease in all of your expressions.
Now; this ease may be lent in the direction of conflict as easily as in the direction of fun. Therefore, you shall notice – within yourselves and within all individuals that you encounter in this time framework – individuals are experiencing extremes. Energy is very intense, and in this intensity, you all automatically draw upon all of this energy which is being lent to you within this time framework.
Therefore, if you are moving yourselves in the direction of creating fun, you shall be creating this easily. If you are creating movement through issues, you shall be moving more efficiently and more quickly through issues and offering yourselves imagery to support this. If you are creating conflict, you shall be creating extreme conflict. If you are creating stressfulness with yourselves, your stress shall be extreme. All of your expressions shall be heightened and more intense than you normally, so to speak, would be creating within your experience. Some individuals are experiencing extreme calmness. Whichever your expression, it shall be created more easily, for much energy is lent for you to draw upon within this time framework.
Now; also within this time framework there is a wave in consciousness occurring – which we have already introduced – addressing to the belief system of sexuality. This is an intense belief system itself, apart from the intensity of energy which is lent within this time framework. Therefore, you are experiencing twice the intensity.
In this, I have expressed to you previously, sexuality in itself is not a belief system. It is a base line, a building block of your creation within this particular physical dimension. You create within this dimension in the expression of sexuality and emotion for the experience.
In this, these two particular elements of your reality – sexuality and emotion – have also been created into massive belief systems. I use this terminology intentionally, for being that these are the base elements of your reality, the belief systems attached to them are very large. They also may be quite camouflaged or hidden from you, for you – within your beliefs in these areas – express to yourselves that the elements of these beliefs are not beliefs. They merely are your reality.
You express to yourself, ‘Male is male. Female is female. This is not a belief. It is merely a creation within your reality.’ This is correct, but there are many, many, many other aspects of this particular belief that you also assign that reality to, and remove from your awareness that it is attached to a belief system. ‘Your physical function is your physical function. This is not a belief. This is merely the reality.’ Incorrect. Your physical function is very influenced by your beliefs. ‘Your perception is your perception. This is a reality.’ Incorrect. This is also very influenced by your beliefs. In this particular area of sexuality, your beliefs are very narrow, and you have confused yourselves in extreme with this particular belief system.” [session 378, March 26, 1999]
ELIAS: “This reality is created highly individually, as I have expressed within the onset of this session.
Each of you creates your reality individually. This individual action creates mass expressions if you are creating individually similarly to other individuals, but you all are creating within your own individual choices, and you ARE creating in the most beneficial manner that shall offer you the most beneficial information.
This also is quite purposeful in my expression to you. I am not expressing that you always create quite efficiently, but you DO create beneficially. You may choose in your widening of your awarenesses to be creating more efficiently, but you are always creating beneficially, for you are always offering yourselves information that you may draw upon to be understanding self more efficiently.
I do not discount your emotional expressions in all of these situations, for your emotional expressions are quite within your reality, and you DO express many emotions. I also express to you that your emotions are another experience. They need not necessarily be incorporating action. They are an action within themselves.
You, within your beliefs, move in the direction of identifying your emotional expressions and attaching an action to them. You are experiencing an emotion, and you should be accomplishing this. Another individual is experiencing an emotion, and you should be offering this. You should be DOING. I express to you that this is not necessarily the situation. Your emotions are an action within themselves, and they merely are. They are not good; they are not bad. They merely are, and it is quite acceptable to be expressing of them.
In this, many times not incorporating another action coupled with your emotion may be more efficient, but merely accepting that element of you that is expressing that emotion and not placing judgment that this is a good or a bad expression. It merely is. It is what you are experiencing within the moment.
I shall offer further also: Individuals express that they hold the belief that emotions are cause and effect. I express to you that I have offered many times, in actuality there is no cause and effect. It is merely a belief that you hold. Therefore, you express that you hold an emotion in response or reaction to a cause. I express to you that within your creation and the influence of your beliefs, you do express this many times, but it is not an absolute. Your emotions need no action to be facilitating them.
Each individual within physical focus experiences moments of emotional expression that you express to yourselves ‘appears from nowhere.’ It has been created with no cause. You merely are feeling what you are feeling, and you know not why.
I express to you that emotion is a base element of your reality in this dimension, and is what you have created in your process of information. This is your method of identifying certain types of information, just as your sight is a method for interpretation of certain types of information. Your outer senses process information, your inner senses process information, and your creation of sexuality and emotion process information and create your reality, for they are your perception and your perception IS your reality.
Therefore, I am quite understanding of your expression of emotion in relation to another individual. I am also offering to you that as you hold an emotion in relation to another individual, you may hold the emotion and not necessarily couple the emotion with another action. The emotion in itself is enough of the action, and in that emotion, you are offering a clear and unclouded expression of yourself to another individual. You cloud this by offering – in conjunction to your emotion – your rationale and your thought process and your logic, but view how much more it is accepted by other individuals that you are merely expressing the emotion.
If you are expressing to another individual, ‘I hold great lovingness for you,’ you need not offer any other expression or action and it shall be accepted, and it shall be clearly identified in being felt also. If you are expressing sorrow or anger and you are not coupling these with another action, the communication is offered efficiently and clearly, and understood. It is unnecessary to be coupling this with other actions.
But you move in the direction of NOT accepting self. Your expression is not enough; it is not good enough. This is the lack of acceptance of self. Therefore, you move in the direction of creating drama and attaching other actions to your expressions of your emotions to emphasize what you are expressing, for your initial expression is not enough ... but it is!
Drama creates conflict. It perpetuates conflict and it is unnecessary, but you are very efficient at creating this, for it is very familiar to you. As you move more fully into the expression of this shift in consciousness, and the waves continue and the momentum increases and you widen your awareness and you expose yourselves to more unfamiliarities, you also retreat into your familiar and your known expressions, and therefore you create in the fashion that you are accustomed to creating within.
Look to your mass expressions. You identify these as negative and violent and quite typical of actions throughout your history, and you express to yourselves, ‘Why shall we be creating of this type of action if we are moving into this shift in consciousness and enlightening ourselves?’
And I express to you that you move in this type of direction for it IS familiar, and within your beliefs there is comfort in familiarity, regardless of its expression. Regardless that it may be expressed within conflict, it is familiar, and familiarity offers you safety, security, and comfort. These are all aspects of your beliefs, for there is no necessity for safety or security, for what shall you be unsafe or insecure within? You have created a safe and secure universe, and it is not hurtful to you. Y
