trauma of the shift in consciousness
ELIAS: “You would not be experiencing much trauma, and needing of so much information from me, if you were only about to encounter a shift to be incorporating all of your dead relatives or friends without veils! (Grinning) This is not a big deal! A little scary, maybe. (Pause) The awarenesses that you are approaching far exceed this one, and are extremely more intricate and involved, and each of you play a vital part.” [session 49, October 29, 1995]
ELIAS: “This is the point of your participation within this forum, to be contributing within consciousness to the alleviation of this trauma; which I cannot emphasize too much the importance of this action! I cannot emphasize to you too much the reality of this trauma. View individuals experiencing transition within physical focus not choosing senility. Much fear is incorporated, much confusion, much lack of understanding, which creates trauma. I am not expressing mild dismay! I am expressing trauma! I have expressed from the onset of our sessions and continue to emphasize this element to you, for it is of great importance, and your affectingness within consciousness is great, and also greatly needed.” [session 158, March 16, 1997]
ELIAS: “From the onset of [the twentieth] century, this shift has been in movement. It has been initiated at the onset of that century.
Now; certain time frameworks hold significance in mass movement, and in this, events that have occurred within that time framework of that world war are quite significant and have offered experiential information to many of you, which is significant in allowing you assimilation of objective information that may facilitate your movement into this objectification of this shift, as you continue with it and insert it into your objective reality.
Now; understand, I have been expressing throughout this forum that there is trauma associated with this shift in consciousness.
(Intently) You all associate that statement as applicable to now, or pertaining to events which may occur within the future. I am expressing that statement as an overall statement in relation to the action of this shift in its entirety, which encompasses time frameworks that you also view to be past.” [session 721, November 07, 2000]
ELIAS: “This week, I will ask you each to examine yourselves and your belief systems. I will ask you to focus on these at another awareness than only superficially and choose within you something that you experience conflict with in a belief system, incorporating some element that you would view as ’secretive,’ an element personally involving yourself in which you would not be comfortable in sharing with another individual. You may be using your entire week to find this element! Therefore, you have much time to explore your own consciousness. And if you are bringing to this audience next week that you have stolen a piece of candy from a dime store when you were a child, incorporating a belief system that this is bad, I will be laughing at you and expressing that you think harder!
This exercise is expressly to illustrate to you how you disconnect and separate and create value judgments and influence your own selves and affect your own consciousness through belief systems. The point of this exercise will not be taken if you are not taking the step in connection and risking in trust. If you are not incorporating trust and if you are continuing to incorporate separation, you WILL experience trauma within your shift. My purpose in speaking to you is to avoid this.” [session 33, August 27, 1995]
RON: “I’d like to ask a question about the shift. I’m curious as to ... I know you answered this partially ... as to how this shift will be different in non-physical focus from physical focus. I’m speaking of the people that don’t choose to remanifest, as opposed to the people that chose to remanifest.
ELIAS: As opposed to your present interaction? (Ron nods) Presently, you have incorporated a separation. Within your present focus and knowledge of consciousness, you do not readily interact with non-physical focus. You may incorporate interaction infrequently, with a phenomenon such as this that you experience presently, or you may visit an individual who has incorporated the ability to be connecting with essences within non-physical focus and translating for you. You do not directly interact yourselves with non-physical focus, except within dreams. Within your dream state, you do. You interact quite frequently with non-physical focus. After your shift has been accomplished, you will, individually, incorporate the ability to access non-physical focus yourself. You will have the capacity to consciously engage non-physical focus. You will not need a ‘medium.’ You will not need an ‘in-between’ individual. This is affecting also of non-physical focus, for as a result of your separation and your focus, non-physical focus must incorporate tremendous energy to be connecting presently. This will be unnecessary.
Do not misunderstand. I am not suggesting to you that once your shift has occurred, that you will be walking upon your planet continuously speaking with individuals who are not physically focused, and you will not be interacting continuously with voices from beyond! This would be quite a confusing situation, and not very productive; but if you are wishing, and you are choosing, you may access these areas of consciousness individually, with no other interaction of other individuals.
Let us use your meditations, (grinning) so to speak, as an example. You may choose to engage in a meditative period. Within this period, you may focus upon a specific subject that you wish to be engaging. Let us say you wish to be engaging conversation with a friend who is not longer within physical focus. In this situation, your visualization will be clear. It will not be scattered, as you experience presently. You will focus intently and you will visualize, for you will not be manufacturing this visualization. You will be engaging actual consciousness which will physically manifest before you, and engage within conversation with you.
You will also have the ability to access non-physical elements of yourself; your essence. The separation will be lessened. Therefore, when I say to you, ‘View yourself as motion. You are a direction,’ I may also say to you, ‘Change direction,’ and you will view another you. You will have the ability to connect. It will not be a struggle [like] what you experience presently within your confusion, or your disconnection, as you will view it, or your ‘fuzziness!’ (Grinning)
These are exhibitions of your physical brain clearing pathways. Your consciousness is affecting your physical expression. In this, it is opening your neurological pathways within your physical brain to allow more of an awareness. You will notice, within these times, that you are experiencing these elements of fading, or being disoriented, or being what you express to be fuzzy, or forgetful. Within these times, you are also quite open to be connecting with other individuals and other consciousness. (Pause)
You are barely scratching your surface presently, but you are learning quickly and you are noticing, and as you notice more, you will be connecting more. This is the beginnings of your shift. This shift entails a great widening of consciousness. It would not be quite possible for you, within physical focus, to be ‘snapping this on.’ You will ease into this area of consciousness. Some individuals will not ease as much, (grinning) and will be experiencing a jolt, for they will not be ready, and this will incorporate trauma. You have already begun the process; therefore you have already begun to eliminate this trauma.” [session 69, February 04, 1996]
ELIAS: “You are no less intelligent than any other developmental area of your physical expression upon this particular planet. Your expressions may be different, but your intelligence has always been the same. Your connections have been different. You now, approaching this shift, have widened your awareness, and have offered yourselves the opportunity to be within an element of consciousness which is more connected, so to speak; for you incorporate less separation. As you approach your shift, more and more, your awareness increases. Your veils drop.
CELIA: Thank you for clarifying.
ELIAS: You are welcome. This is the reason that you may view individuals surrounding you, within your everyday life, that exhibit understanding that you may view, that you believe they do not quite understand; and within their waking consciousness, they may not make these connections to essence and understand what they incorporate exactly; but this is a global shift. You all are moving within consciousness. Some of you move more quickly, if you choose to view this in this way, and within your perception, you may view yourselves to incorporate your connections more clearly, but you will all approach and intersect with this shift in consciousness at the same time, so to speak. This is your agreement.
I will also express to you, using this connection once again, (referring to Jene) that this individual also incorporates an understanding of this shift a little clearer in some elements, for you are correct that within conscious awareness, you also may be influencing and helpful within the accomplishment and the avoidance of trauma; that being my reasoning for incorporation with these individuals.
We have not yet approached this area of explanation, for it is important for each of you, as individuals, to understand your connections to yourselves first; to be understanding of your individual importance and power first; and to be trusting and accepting of yourselves first. Then you may be understanding of your affectingness of other individuals, and the affectingness of your focus in being helpful within the accomplishment of this shift; for I have expressed to you previously, there will be the experience of trauma.
You have not incorporated this Source Event of this great religious element, and willingly, within waking consciousness, allow it to simply drift away! This is a great imaginative creation. You hold very dearly to it. You have for many, many centuries; not only within the development of your Christian religious-focus, but also beyond this. You have created many religious-focuses, for these all are expressions of one Source Event.
Now you incorporate another Source Event which will be equally as powerful and encompassing; but you also, in your widening and letting go of the previous Source Event, incorporate confusion and distraction. Therefore I, as do many others, incorporate interaction for helpfulness, and some direction. Clarification as to help; in allowing you less conflict and less confusion and less distortion.
VICKI: ... Well, I have a question. Our shift is an expression of a Source Event, correct?
ELIAS: Correct.
VICKI: Would this be a different Source Event than the one that our religious belief systems are expressions of?
ELIAS: Correct.
VICKI: So it seems then that there is also an overlapping between these Source Events.
ELIAS: Absolutely.
VICKI: And that’s why, within our religious belief systems, we can read about the shift?
ELIAS: Partially. Within your religious beliefs, within the onset of your incorporation of your expression of this Source Event, you also hold an awareness that each Source Event, and their interpretations within physical manifestations ... Are you understanding?
VICKI: I think so.
ELIAS: ... are temporary. The Source Event is not temporary. The manifestation of the interpretation is physically temporary. Your temporary, within your expression of years, may be very long, but within no-time, it may be no time at all! In this, your interpretations and manifestation of the Source Event include information of a discontinuation, therefore allowing for an open system; for there are no closed systems. You, as you approach your shift, now incorporate the action of helpfulness, within consciousness, to be avoiding trauma that you have expressed through your interpretation of what shall manifest as the ending of this period of this Source Event. Therefore, you now hold the responsibility of ’shifting your ending.’
CELIA: Oh! (Note here that other individuals present made an interesting conglomeration of sounds in response to this statement)
ELIAS: You are not wishing to be experiencing trauma. You are not wishing to be experiencing devastation. You are understanding that energy is not annihilated. Energy is never destroyed. Energy never dies. (Pause, and then, softly) It only changes. (Another pause) Therefore, you may allow these belief systems that you have created of this Source Event to be changed; therefore allowing the incorporation of your new Source Event, continuing your cycle, allowing for your open systems.” [session 88, April 21, 1996]
ELIAS: “Many elements have been set forth concerning the issue of your shift. Very many of your concepts concerning your shift are, in one respect, distortions within belief systems. Within another respect, they are symbolic of actualities. If you are viewing information available to you concerning your shift as absolute, you have incorporated a distortion. If you are understanding that these concepts are symbolic of probabilities, you are incorporating an accurate assessment of the probabilities.
In this, I restate: You hold a responsibility, within yourselves and to the collective whole of individuals of your planet, through consciousness, to be altering of these symbols. No probability is carved in stone! Your natural inclination, as you have already engaged one Source Event and manifested expression of this, is to be completing of these expressions within the guidelines that you have already created. You also are aware, within this now, that you are unwilling to be experiencing this type of trauma.
Within all of your set-forth belief systems, you express trauma concerning the ending of this ‘age,’ so to speak. You attach developments of your atmosphere, of your Earth, of your people, even to your consciousness. These may be expressed. They also are unnecessary, and may not be expressed. They may not be expressed if you are engaging your agenda, within consciousness, to be altering of these probabilities. Some individuals have chosen ... mark these words; you have chosen to be helpful; to be moving energy, within consciousness, to be affecting of this shift and its probabilities.
As we approach actualization of manifestation of your shift, more conflict arises. More physical elements surface. You visually may view more evidences of what you have chosen previously to be creating. If you are allowing the course of previously chosen probabilities, you shall manifest turmoil. I speak to you in offering you the understanding and knowing that you hold choices and alternatives. It is not necessary to experience trauma. It may be avoided.
Within the symbolism of your belief systems that offer you explanations, you view these to be separations of individuals physically focused; some choosing to be terminating physical existence, some choosing to be what you express to be left behind, some moving forward, some complying, some not. I have expressed to you, many times; there will be trauma. This shift will occur, for you have chosen it to occur. How it occurs involves very many probabilities; although I shall qualify that also, its absoluteness in occurrence is a probability also, but it is your most probable probability. Therefore, for the purposes of this discussion, I choose the words, ‘It will occur.’
In this, some individuals do choose to widen their awareness. Some do not. It is not your responsibility to be focusing upon masses of individuals, and their individual choices of whether they widen their awareness or not. It is your responsibility, within your choice, to be engaging this new agenda, and placing yourself into an area of helpfulness; to be moving and influencing, within consciousness, by offering information, and by exhibiting yourselves to be the straight little trees. Just as you each trust, more acceptingly, another individual’s expression more than their verbalization, you also shall be viewed and shall be trusted by your expressions, in cooperation with your verbal expression.” [session 97, May 27, 1996]
ELIAS: “Good evening. (Smiling) It has been asked, ‘What is this shift that we approach?’ It has been requested that an explanation be given. We have offered information of your approaching shift previously. I shall offer you more information, in light of your experiences recently.
Within our most recent session, I was acknowledging of each of you, and many more also, and congratulating on your new births. (1) We engaged an exercise to be emphasizing the interconnectedness of you all within consciousness, and to illustrate the parallels within all of your expressions. This also parallels the expression of mass events, expressed individually within your own individual realities.
Your shift is an alteration of consciousness which you have chosen. You presently are experiencing alterations in consciousness. You are experiencing an enlargement of the scope of your awareness. In this, you challenge existing belief systems.
I have spoken to you often of the trauma that shall be experienced with regard to this shift in consciousness. I have spoken to you that this shift is global; therefore, it is an immense movement. Just as waves of consciousness create mass events, which we have discussed thus far, your ideas of which are relatively small, this also incorporates a wave. This wave encompasses your entire planet; all of the individuals existing within it. Therefore, this wave is quite powerful. It has a tremendous motion incorporated within it.
The trauma that is experienced, within this alteration of consciousness connected with your shift, is related to a widening of awareness of belief systems. Thus far, within our discussions of widening awareness, these have been words. (Humorously) You widen here, you widen there! You are so wide, you are not very wide! You are too wide! Your awareness is widening, your awareness is not widening! (Grinning ‘widely’) They are words to you. They are ideas. I say to you, within reality, your awareness is widening!
In this, you feel within you the pulls and the pangs of this expansion within your objective consciousness. You become aware of belief systems, and you identify these belief systems. This also creates confusion. Within your individual expression presently, you experience conflict and confusion in widening belief systems. Within your shift, I do not use the term trauma lightly; for within your own experience, you already are becoming aware of the difficulty that is incorporated within widening in your awareness and recognizing belief systems, and also recognizing the reality of no right or wrong. You have existed for very much time within your present reality with these belief systems. Widening an awareness of these belief systems that you hold very tightly to creates conflict, for you do not willingly allow them to fly away!
I have expressed to you many times, I do not speak to you to eliminate your existing belief systems, only to be recognizing of them and widening your awareness to encompass more; for as you allow yourselves a larger scope of awareness, you also let loose your hold upon these existing belief systems. You do not forget them! You do not completely eliminate them; for you exist within physical focus within an area of consciousness that you have agreed upon accepted guidelines for existence. Therefore, to an extent, these belief systems are incorporated with you always; although you do hold the ability, and you have made the choice, to shift your consciousness to allow a wider perception, therefore allowing yourself to be ‘unlocked.’
You have existed for much of your time period ‘locked’ into certain belief systems and accepted guidelines. It is as if you have ‘rutted out’ a pathway within a field. This pathway has been traveled back and forth continuously. Its scenery, its direction, its area has been accepted by you all, and has been used. Now, you choose to plow the entire field. You choose to widen, and allow yourselves the opportunity to experience all that lies beyond your small rutted path. In choosing this, you also incorporate trauma, for you hold very tightly to your accepted rut. You do not incorporate tremendous change very easily! You are beginning to view, individually, the difficulty in incorporating these changes of widening awarenesses. You are beginning to experience the confusion of letting go of accepted belief systems. Think now of the trauma that shall be incorporated, within a much larger scale of your entire globe!
The process has been initiated. Just as you incorporate symbolism within all elements of your existence, you also incorporate symbolism within the manifestation of your shift. It seems, within your perceptions, to be a necessity to allow yourselves physically to view symbols, within your reality, that you may look to and connect with. Therefore you have chosen, within agreement, to manifest symbols.
One of your symbols that has been chosen, through agreement, is the manifestation physically, into physical focus, of Rose. (2) This manifestation now has been completed; this being only one of your symbols that you have offered to yourselves, but this symbol will serve to be instrumental and very instructive to you. Already, this essence has provided much instruction and initiation within your own widening.
Within our exercise at our last meeting, I offered the illustration of the symbolization of Rose’s gestation, that you personally may connect with and understand more of your own creations and your own widening. This has been incorporated already throughout our entire meeting time together. It continues at an accelerated pace. The physical manifestation, in being completed, accelerates the actualization of movement within consciousness. Therefore, if you are viewing that we have been moving quickly previously, we shall be moving more quickly now! (Grinning at Cathy)
CATHY: Wow!
ELIAS: For not only do you all move within consciousness as you learn and as you widen, but all other individuals are moving also. Their awareness is different, but their movement accelerates also, within consciousness.
It was inquired, early on within our sessions, ‘Why do you, Elias, engage with us?’ The response was, ‘To avoid trauma within your shift.’ You now begin to experience the reality of the severity of the possibility of trauma connected with widening belief systems, which is the action of your shift. What you experience presently, you may term to be a small taste! (Here, there are moans and groans from the group) Therefore, you may more clearly be understanding why essences incorporate with individuals physically focused to be helpful; although you view, at times, Elias to be not very helpful, and allowing you to experience much trauma! (Laughter)
You are accomplishing well, for you have allowed yourselves a base within understanding of essence, of self, of belief systems, of reality, to allow you no trauma. You experience distress or uncomfortableness or conflict, but you are not experiencing trauma, for you are learning how to avoid experiencing trauma by becoming aware of self.
I am understanding that you hold many questions this evening, and that you experience much confusion. Therefore, I will allow this evening’s session to be directed to your questions. But first, I shall welcome new essence this evening! (Smiling at Julie, and then to the group) You may ask your questions, if you are choosing.
CELIA: I have a question. You have mentioned the trauma. I believe, from my personal experience, there is difficulty with other people because of my change in belief systems in my shift, difficulty in their understanding of me, or saying that I’m ... weird! (Laughter) So, is this true? Is this what we call the trauma?
ELIAS: You will experience many individuals that will experience trauma as you engage this shift within consciousness, for they choose presently not to be acknowledging of this movement. Many individuals are very comfortable within their existing belief systems, and although they hold an underlying awareness that their existing belief systems are inefficient, they also, presently, work. Therefore, they hold to them, continuing. In this, they also reject those that they view to be widening. Just as within the manifestation of your religious-focus, within its onset, or what you would term to be its beginnings, there was also much conflict; for there is conflict within the birth of a new age in consciousness. As those within the beginnings of your religious-focus experienced much conflict and rebellion, so also do you experience the same expression presently. Understand that just as your religious-focus was a global incorporation, it was accepted; the difference being, within your religious expression, you allowed yourselves many different expressions of this mass event.
Within the incorporation of the shift, you are not choosing to be ‘replacing’ old belief systems, so to speak, with new belief systems. You are choosing to widen your awareness, allowing for existing belief systems; this being also an area which incorporates much confusion presently within what you term to be your ‘new age,’ for many individuals express, within ‘metaphysics,’ that they hold the answers for your shift within consciousness. In actuality, they create a new religion. They are substituting. They are incorporating new belief systems in an attempt to replace old belief systems; although they would be quite surprised to realize that their new belief systems are not very new at all! (Laughter) They are very anciently old belief systems brought forth surfacely, once again, into your present reality.
This is not the point. Your shift is not to be replacing belief systems, and incorporating new belief systems to be focused upon. Your shift is to be accepting of all – underline three times, although your computer will not underline three times – all belief systems. Within acceptance of all belief systems, you eliminate right and wrong. You do not eliminate the belief systems! You widen your awareness, within consciousness, to eliminate right and wrong; therefore allowing yourselves to be more consciously connected, within your objective consciousness, to essence; and allowing yourself a more efficient expression of essence within physical focus. All of this you will experience effortlessly, once you have made your connection.
All of your times presently now that you express to yourselves, ‘I am wishing to be expressing within this manner, but, but, but, but!’ (Grinning, and laughter) You will not experience, any longer, the ‘but’; for the expression shall be natural. It is the natural expression of your essence to be accepting. Within this one concept, within this one word, lies the whole of your shift, also lies the whole of your trauma, for this being your most difficult area to incorporate. Your belief systems encourage you and reinforce you to not be accepting. You do not accept others. You do not accept yourselves. You do not accept ideas. You do not accept anything, except that which you choose within your own expression of separation, which is your own private, individual space. Within your widening of awareness, you will become aware, there is no private, individual space! It is all connected. It is all affecting. It is all one. (Pause)
You also will not experience such ‘fighting.’ I do not express this word with the connotation of fighting amongst each other. I express this word of fighting yourselves, for if you are not fighting yourselves, you are not fighting each other! (Smiling)
Therefore, Sari [Cecelia], do not concern yourself that others view you strangely, or that they pull away. Focus upon your own expression. Focus upon the incorporation and expression of your own little tree, and in this, you will radiate to all around you. If you are not allowing conflict within yourself, you will not be creating conflict. This, I also understand, is a conglomeration of words! (Very humorously) If you are not expressing conflict within yourself, you are not creating conflict for any individual to which you encounter! Hm, hm, hm! Words, words, words! (Here, we all crack up)
These words hold truth. You do not understand the truth, for you do not understand the conflict that you generate within yourselves, for you identify conflict with feeling. Conflict does not always engage feeling. Conflict is incorporated through physical focus as an expression of separation, and lack of communication and connection with the expression of essence, which comes from belief systems. Therefore, if you are recognizing of these belief systems, and you are allowing yourself the acceptance of these belief systems, the conflict is eliminated.
Acceptance of belief systems is not recognizing a belief system. It is not expressing to one’s self, ‘I see this belief system. I am expressing I acknowledge this belief system. Therefore, I accept that I hold this belief system.’ This is not acceptance of a belief system! Acceptance of a belief system is the understanding that it is no more than a belief system that facilitates some action within accepted guidelines within physical focus, and that it holds no right or wrong. It is only a physical expression. In essence, underline, it is a symbol.
I express to you now, the physical expression manifested by our small one Elizabeth [Elizabeth], within a pregnancy and a childbirth, was the symbol. Your expressions, within consciousness, are the reality. Your movements, within consciousness, are the reality. Our exercise was intended to demonstrate the reality of consciousness, and the symbolization of the physical act and manifestation within physical focus. As I have expressed to you many times, your physical expressions are mirror images of essence. They are not essence. They are elements of the whole. Therefore, the belief systems are elements of the manifestation.” [session 99, June 09, 1996]
VICKI: “Do I understand correctly that one’s preference in physical manifestation, of gender, really has nothing to do with one’s ability to use their intuitive abilities?
ELIAS: Correct, although you choose to not focus, to this point, upon your intuitive sense if manifesting within the male orientation, although this presently is moving into another area and changing, so to speak; but it is no accident that your physical identifications and expressions of your selves are divided into male and female. You identify left and right hemispheres of brain as male and female. You identify left and right sides of body as female and male. These are mirroring your awareness of your intentional choice of separation, within consciousness, to be manifesting for the experience of these aspects of essence.
Therefore, you also manifest a leaning, in certain directions, within your expressions. The males lean to be less attentive to the intuitive sense. They hold less attention to the emotional expressions. They allow more of a concentration of intellectual and physical expression. The female leans, within the manifestation of the experience, to the intuitive and the experience of the emotional. Less attentiveness is placed upon physical. It is unimportant for males, generally speaking, to be nurturing and emotional. It is less important for females to be hurling javelins and lifting tremendous rocks, or taming wild horses, generally speaking; for these are expressions of the sexual orientation that you have chosen to manifest within. This is not to express that one is better than another. They are different experiences that you choose intentionally for their individual experience.
In this, it is never impossible for a male to be intuitive, just as it is never impossible for a female to be intellectual. Quite to the contrary, on both accounts! But within the expression of male, which is reinforced through your accepted societal focus, it becomes more difficult for the males to be understanding of the intuitive sense within physical focus; therefore the initiation, within consciousness, to be affecting en masse, allowing an easement of the male orientation into the acceptance of the intuitive expression. Therefore, your very being, in those of you who have chosen to be manifesting as female, is quite affecting. Your awareness of consciousness and self allows you a wider affectingness within mass consciousness. Also, understand that as those males that choose to be widening within consciousness and accepting of the intuitive sense move stronger within consciousness, they also shall be very effective, in helpfulness to the mass consciousness, in avoiding trauma.” [session 100, June 16, 1996]
ELIAS: “Picture, to yourselves, each belief system being a bird cage. Within your ‘less difficult,’ as you perceive them to be, belief systems, you may hold one bird within the cage, to which opening allows this bird to fly out. The engagement of these belief systems presently, that you have offered yourselves the opportunity to be moving through, incorporates a very large bird cage containing thousands of birds flooding out of the doorway, creating a mass cloud of winged action. They are the elements; the cage is the belief system. (Pause)
(Vic’s note: you can almost hear the whoosh of those birds!)You hold wonderings as to why you do not see what you create. I express to you that within reality, and if you are truthfully examining, you shall agree, you do view what you create! You have moved into an area of awareness, within widening, that no longer holds what you view to be blocks that cover your vision. I have expressed to you many times, there is no thing that is removed from your awareness. You need only allow yourself the openness, the willingness to view, and the acceptance of self; and as you incorporate these actions, you do view what you create. You also view what you draw to, or what you draw to yourself for your awareness, allowing yourself to change your perception; not to eliminate belief systems, but to alter your perception and allow a wider awareness.
You challenge, now, ultimate base belief systems of right and wrong, of good and bad, of acceptable and unacceptable. You offer yourselves, now, the opportunity to create the reality of the ideas; to shift your focus and allow yourselves to incorporate into your reality what thus far, you have viewed only as concepts. Within this, these four, the pyramid, gain great strength in connection, which will be, and is now, quite affecting within consciousness, and affecting of your shift; as within your small expansion, you begin to view already; for how shall you connect, in what you term to be consciously, if you do not hold an understanding of the experience?
Just as, returning once again to our wealthy man attempting to be the poor man, you shall not truly understand the reality of trauma, and allow yourselves to be helpful within this, if you do not incorporate the experience of moving through belief systems; to which you create your own trauma in engaging. This is not to say that you must experience trauma to be understanding and effective; but within your focus, you do create trauma for yourselves, in response to the engagement of belief systems; for you resist change, and you do not allow what you view to be a relinquishment of your own individual control. In actuality, you gain control within acceptance, and an allowance of a widening. If your understanding is very small, your helpfulness within physical expression may be very small. If your understanding is very great, your expression shall follow.” [session 101, June 24, 1996]
ELIAS: “I tell you truly, which you may communicate also to our new friends; you may choose to view presently, within this now, that you will not experience trauma in conjunction with this shift ... but, you will. You may look to your individual experiences, and you may view within this present now individually, not en masse, how the engagement of very strong base belief systems causes trauma. If you incorporate your multiplication, viewing mass events and mass consciousness, shifting mass belief systems causes trauma. Your expression of non-acceptance of these concepts is only an attempt at physically-focused control. You shall eliminate much, much conflict by allowing yourselves to view the unnecessary element of control issues; for you allow yourselves acceptance of self and trust of self in this, which far out-weighs your small concept of control. If you are trusting of self, you feel no need to be controlling of self, or any other element.” [session 102, June 30, 1996]
VICKI: “A question for Michael [Mary]. ‘Why has Paul’s [Patel’s] latest transmission caused more confusion rather than less, and what am I doing to create so much confusion for myself?’ (3)
ELIAS: (Chuckling) I express, the answer to this very question is contained within the transmission! In this, you have been presented with information of establishing a movement; engaging belief systems. In this, if you are objectively expressing contrary to this movement, you shall create confusion, and quite likely, much frustration.
The element that Michael [Mary] employs presently is that he chooses to be moving through belief systems. He has engaged these belief systems. I have expressed previously, he stands not within the center of his stream; but within objective expression, he draws back, in not trusting of his own expression and movement. He has allowed what my comrade has expressed; the influence, objectively, of conflicting information, and not trusting the movement that has been engaged within. Therefore, he continues to focus within, but within a conflicting expression. He expresses, ‘I shall be trusting of self, of my own impressions, of my own movement, of my own thoughts and my own feelings.’ Then he expresses, ‘I trust not my own feelings, or my movement, or my thoughts.’ This is in direct conflict with the original expression! This is not so uncommon; for each of you, as we have expressed to Yarr [Jim] previously, looks to results. You look to physical manifestations, outwardly, of what you engage. If you do not view immediate change, you are not accepting of your expression.
Many of these belief systems that you presently engage, within this group presently, and within many other individuals connected ... (Long pause, which is unusual for Elias in the middle of a sentence) It is difficult to express without misunderstanding. (Another pause)
You share information. You share and interact with the intention of being helpful to each other, to which we encourage, for in gaining other perspectives, you allow your own perception to widen; but you also discount yourselves, and do not trust your own expression. Many belief systems that you presently engage are very base belief systems. Therefore, the engagement of these belief systems enters many elements; just as we expressed of your bird cage being the belief system, holding very many birds as the elements. It is not always immediately, visibly transformed, within your objective perception. Therefore, you may engage these base belief systems, and you may be moving through efficiently; but you may also not view, immediately, the resultingness of this moving through. Also, within this expression, many of you will engage these types of belief systems within familiar circumstances; for as we have spoken many times of trauma, you are, much to your surprise, learning to avoid trauma. Therefore, within consciousness, you choose to use existing circumstances and elements to move through base belief systems. Therefore, you may view yourselves displaying similar actions, or you may view others to be displaying similar action to previous. The difference will become known eventually. You are only offering yourselves the opportunity to use less traumatic elements to accomplish traumatic movement.
Therefore, Michael [Mary] expresses a confidence, originally, in viewing an engagement of belief systems; but confronted rationally with these belief systems, and the viewing of them, and the expression of them, has allowed doubt of the movement; for he, as do you all, expects a movement to be ‘different.’ If you are engaging a belief system which is existing within you, you shall view yourselves expressing quite differently, automatically, instantly. You may even allow yourselves the grace period of ‘not automatic’; but you shall view, instantly, differences in your action. This is not necessarily the situation! If you are engaging base belief systems, and allowing yourself the opportunity to experience great trauma, you shall express entirely differently. You shall be quite confused. You shall experience much frustration. You shall engage battle within yourselves for such an extreme change within action, and you shall experience trauma.
But, within these individuals in this group, you have learned a different method. You have adopted a different process, in accepting that it is unnecessary to engage trauma to be moving through belief systems. You experience an element of trauma, to a very slight extent, in the initial engagement of base belief systems; but as you choose to be moving through these belief systems, you also, within consciousness, divert and avoid more trauma by allowing yourselves to use existing elements and circumstances, within your present now, which will develop, left alone, into a new expression of a wider perception. You engage confusion by questioning your movement, by not trusting your own expression, by not trusting self. Confusion may be eliminated with acceptance of one’s own expression.
Therefore, you may instruct Michael [Mary] that he may view this transcript of my comrade once again; and this time, he may view without the element of judgment, allowing a slightly shifted perception.
The issue of personal responsibility exists still. This other belief system is allowed to seep in and cloud the belief system which is being engaged. Therefore, within the expression of distraction, this may serve as an example.
Do not be confused. Many times, distraction is quite helpful. Within the element of engaging base belief systems, distraction from reinforcement of these base belief systems may be very helpful. This is not necessarily an avoidance of a belief system, but distraction allowed to ‘filter in’ in the area of replacement of another belief system; that of personal responsibility. ‘I am not accomplishing!’ This is detrimental, and as you have been expressed to, impedes movement; which you shall view as quite obvious. No movement is being engaged while confusion is allowed to ensue. (Pause)
Very artful transmissions, as you call these! You shall learn much from my dear beloved.” [session 103, July 07, 1996]
ELIAS: “Within your present now, the time element holds a thickness which allows formation to appear; formation of objects, of thought, of emotion, of physical feeling, of sense data. Outside, in a manner of speaking, of this present now, or your perception of this present now, you may draw other events; but as they are being drawn as periphery, they are not perceived to be quite so ‘real.’ This creates confusion when you begin to encounter simultaneous time. When the intellect begins to attempt to interpret events which are not within its ‘real’ focus, it becomes confused. Therefore, it automatically attaches a secondary perception, which it incorporates a belief of ‘non-real’ to. This you encounter in many areas of your focus.
Presently, within your intent of widening your awareness, this becomes a focal point of importance, for you begin to incorporate other events which lie outside of your baseline or ‘real’ interpretation. Elements of consciousness cross over each other. Events begin to be perceived differently. States of consciousness, such as your dream state or other altered states, begin to filter into your objective awareness, which may be confusing to the intellect which is accustomed to interpreting events in one direction. This you have created purposefully; for holding a base or ‘real,’ as you interpret it, perception allows you less confusion, and an intensity of experience. This is not to suggest that you will experience no intensity within the periphery; although as you incorporate an acceptance of ‘side perceptions,’ the experience seems not to hold such intensity for you have allowed a wider awareness, incorporating more experiences in a greater variety, accepting more of your own subjective expressions. Therefore, objective incorporation seems less intensified; this being also the effort, so to speak, in avoiding trauma within your shift; for this lessening of intensity is a natural by-produce of widening of awareness. There is more trust and acceptance of what you view to be ‘unusual.’
This also may be distracting! It is difficult to incorporate trauma if you are very distracted! (Grinning) If you are pursuing many avenues of consciousness, you are quite occupied; therefore you allow yourself no ‘time’ to experience fear and trauma.” [session 106, July 21, 1996]
ELIAS: “Within the action of your shift, this expression [merging objective and subjective awareness] shall be ‘normal’; a wider awareness which allows you to incorporate your objective expression and attention, and also simultaneously a working subjective interaction that you are consciously aware of. The subjective expression connects with much more of your information and probabilities.
You view, presently, confusion; for these expressions are unfamiliar to you. Therefore, they are not entirely accepted as of this present now. Within the action of your shift, this expression that you exhibit presently, and the expression that Michael [Mary] exhibits within [his] dream, shall not be confusing objectively or viewed as ‘not real’ within [the] dream state, but viewed as normal expression of self, just as presently you view your objective expression solely as normal. You view subjective interaction as not quite so normal! Within the action of your shift, separation to the point of only experiencing objective expression without subjective interaction shall be viewed as not quite so normal. (Pause)
These are the elements of actions that shall incorporate trauma for many individuals, yourselves included, if you have no information; for your automatic thinking process shall magnate to [the] evaluation of madness!” [session 115, August 25, 1996]
RON: “You said that in the shift, everyone will incorporate trauma. Does trauma have to be bad? Could ecstatic joyfulness be considered trauma?
ELIAS: Within your definition of trauma, you would not define this as ecstatic joy, although this would be a by-product of the action of the trauma; the trauma being initial, and the by-product of this being the joy. In this, there are variances of trauma, for each individual will experience and express this differently. Some may outwardly experience this, in what you view to be physical trauma that you may all witness. Others may experience inner trauma, being expressed in confusion. We would not be placing this trauma in the definition that you hold of negative; only to be either an expression of great confusion, or conflict.
RON: But we would consider that negative.
ELIAS: But there is no negative! (Playfully)
RON: I know! That’s why I’m wondering if ecstatic joyfulness could be trauma as well, because I was under the impression that trauma just means something extreme, an extreme reaction.
ELIAS: If this expression is what the individual perceives to be completely foreign and conflicting to what they are familiar with within their focus, yes, you may incorporate this expression also; but this would also be an expression of conflict!
RON: Well, I’m doing that then! (Laughter)
ELIAS: (Grinning) Good choice!
RON: Thank you!
ELIAS: Presently, within your choices of probabilities, each of you are already experiencing your trauma; this being an example to differentiate what you view to be sudden, impacting trauma, for you experience increments of trauma in moving through belief systems presently, although you do not experience one event of great traumatic proportion; this being what we express in the difference that each individual shall incorporate within the experience of trauma, as related to the shift; this being your choice, as with all things.
You may choose to be moving through belief systems and engaging the action of the event of your shift and allowing yourselves less trauma, or you may be choosing to engage a single action of great proportion, which may be expressed within what you physically view to be traumatic, or what you view to be confusion. Not all individuals shall experience what you think of as hurtfulness or distress. Some individuals shall experience great confusion within a lack of understanding of the event. Some may experience a mixture of joyfulness, related to presently held belief systems religiously that they view to be being actualized, but also simultaneously experiencing fearfulness. Therefore, yes, they may be experiencing joy, but within a lack of understanding of the event, they shall also experience conflict.
RON: So winning fifty million dollars in the lottery wouldn’t be considered trauma?
ELIAS: (Grinning) It is dependent upon your perception!
RON: Okay, that’s what I’m doing then! I can handle that trauma! (Laughter) Was the earthquake an expression of trauma associated with the shift?
ELIAS: No. These are, as we have expressed previously, natural occurrences of your expressions collectively. These are unexpressed emotional elements which seek expression physically within your physical element, for this is how you express within this dimension; physically. Therefore, you express all things physically. This extends collectively to your creations of natural occurrences.
We express to you that you are not separate from nature. This is an example to you of your non-separation from what you view to be nature or natural occurrences, just as your floods and tornadoes and hurricanes are also expressions of yourselves, en masse, collectively being expressed for your benefit.
RON: What about fires?
ELIAS: These also.
RON: But are they really expressions of nature if they were caused by man?
ELIAS: Which is nature! (Laughter) There is no separation!
VICKI: We go there so easily!
ELIAS: Automatically!” [session 117, September 01, 1996]
NORM: “It seems to me that the manner or the method of the shift, could it have been done or initiated or continued in a way that would have less traumatic events, or have we selected it this way?
ELIAS: You have chosen the actions that occur. Now; within the present engagement of action of movement of this shift, you are widening your awareness to be affecting within changing of probabilities established within your religious element. These are very strong belief systems. You have created very strong expectations globally, of events that you have chosen within probabilities to occur. Within the action of this shift, you may be altering of these actions within a recognition that it is unnecessary to be creating of devastation for your attention. You do not need to be creating floods, famines, earthquakes, holocausts to be gaining your attention and initiating movement into what you view to be a new era. You may easily move into your new awareness without all of your fireworks! In this, you hold a task of being helpful and also influencing within consciousness of these belief systems that hold to absoluteness in established probabilities.
I have expressed to you previously, your religious element, your era, shall not disappear without struggle. Although you have chosen and agreed collectively to move into a new awareness and you have chosen the probability of this shift, many are reluctant to be moving. You are reluctant to be moving! As your own consciousness widens and you experience new elements within your daily experience, you pull back. You hold reluctance yourselves! You are not jumping into this shift with both feet! You hold to your belief systems quite strongly. You find it difficult to be accepting of belief systems. You continue with your religious era and with its manifestations.
Each individual offers themselves information that will speak to them to be accomplishing in the movement of this shift, but within the beginning throes of this shift the movement is not easy, just as within the movement of a revolution there is turmoil and conflict. You engage within a global shift of consciousness, which is a much greater mass event than a revolution of a country. It is a greater action than your world war. It is tremendous. Therefore, there shall be conflict. You would not be speaking with this essence were you not approaching this shift.
NORM: I wish I would have been able to say I would anyway, but you’re probably right. I’m interested in the problem associated with devastation. The energy that is being developed due to these conflicts is going to be expressed in devastation. Does it have to be that way?
ELIAS: No! This is the point! This is your direction.
NORM: So we can be very helpful in the mass events, and the nine are doing that in ...
ELIAS: You are accomplishing this! (Firmly) Do not look to these nine manifestations to be carrying your planet! They are initiators. They are helpers. They are directors within the intent of the individual essence families. They are not responsible singularly for movement of this shift! You all are contributant to the action of this shift.” [session 145, January 05, 1997]
VICKI: “Well, I’ll address to your question. I’ve been having a lot of experiences with what you term unofficial information. I term it confusion. I really don’t understand what’s going on. I walk around and I don’t even know who I am this week. Other people don’t recognize me. It’s very hard to focus on anything. Somehow, I’ve managed to make it through transcripts. Getting through a day of work today was extremely difficult. There seems to be flashes of pictures of a TFE (4) that I did once, I believe with Jene, in which she suggested that I go to a future focus. In that future focus, I found myself living alone on the beach, which very much parallels the picture I had in our meditation last year of this focus in the late seventeen hundred’s.
I never thought about the two of them at the same time until this week, although when you began talking about this unofficial information tonight, the pictures were very clear. Now I’m having another extremely emotional response which I don’t even understand, because I wasn’t having this an hour ago. So, I’m not sure exactly what to say about this unofficial information except that it’s very confusing, and it also seems to be going along with some very interesting dream imagery that is vague, but not so vague that I can’t remember parts of it, and the imagery itself, no matter what way I try to look at it, no matter what layer I try to look at it within, I can’t even come to a logical conclusion about that of any sort. So, that’s been my experience this week.
ELIAS: An example of simultaneous time and the interaction of what you view to be different time periods which are influencing of the present now, for they are all the present now and they are all influencing of each other. Be remembering, Lawrence [Vicki], within this, that the present now is also influencing of the others. You are not subject to the past and the future. You also are influencing. All three are influencing of each other continuously. Within this, you are identifying a remembrance of the past focus, which has skipped the present now and identified with future focus, which relates back to present focus. You, within the present now, are offering yourself the opportunity to view all three.
This, as I have stated previously, is confusing. You may each heed this, as you did not previously. I have expressed to you all that within this activity of remembrance, you shall experience confusion. This is unofficial information. It is not information that is officially accepted within your mass belief systems and within your objective consciousness. Therefore, you shall reach a point, so to speak, within this motion of subjective activity where you shall experience confusion, and you shall experience a threatening of identity. You do not feel like yourself. You cannot identify.
I have expressed this many times within our previous sessions, in an attempt to be preparing you for future experiences; which, you do not understand as I explain and you then experience and become distressed, for you are forgetful that you have been instructed.
This is temporary; not within an entire focus temporary! (Grinning) Relatively temporary; within a short time span, as you view this. This also is your choice, in what you allow within your subjective movement. You may choose to allow more of a widening which shall create confusion and disorientation, so to speak, and a feeling of confused identity.
It also shall be quite beneficial to your understanding, if allowed; for as you allow this subjective activity, you open these neurological pathways that we have spoken of previously, allowing more activity within physical expression, which allows more objective understanding. This is not to say that your objective understanding is dependent upon your physical brain. It is not; but the communication between your subjective activity and your physical expression, in cooperation, speaks to your objective thought process; just as we have spoken previously of your physical expression.
You feel hunger. You think subsequently, I must consume food. I have explained, you initially subjectively express information and instruction instantaneously, which is responded to within body consciousness, which then relays (to Norm: ‘Key word!’) a message objectively that your physical expression is in need of attention. Are you understanding thus far?
VICKI: Yeah.
ELIAS: In this, you are moving in a similar direction of attention. Your subjective movement is affecting of physical expression, bodily expression, and also of brain interaction; physical neurological pathways being opened, which then is instructive to your objective thought process, which delivers information to you. This may occur instantaneously. It is possible. Generally, you do not accept this. Therefore, you choose a process, which you have chosen. All of you choose a process, for this is in alignment with your belief systems. You do not believe that you may acquire information instantaneously.
In this, you temporarily experience these conditions; emotionally, mentally, physically. It is affecting of your entire focus, for you are allowing yourself an opening to essence, which allows an opening to other focuses of essence and to alternates of this focus. This becomes confusing, for they are recognized as all of you. Your physical brain and your objective thought process does not automatically understand this information. Therefore, it does not understand how to differentiate you from focuses of you and alternates of you. It does not recognize all as you. Therefore, it sends back confusing messages to your physical expression which suggests to your thought process, ‘This is unrecognized feelings. This is unrecognized information. I do not know this individual.’
You are very singularly focused within this physical focus. This is how you have created this focus. Your attention is directed in one line. It recognizes one line of information. It recognizes one body, one you, one thought process. You are not one thought process. You are allowing yourself a movement into recognition and knowing of this. You view this as uncomfortable and negative, for it is unfamiliar.
VICKI: So that’s why the expressions, mentally, emotionally, and physically, are all things that I consider negative, because I consider it unfamiliar?
ELIAS: Correct. Also, within your belief systems, you believe that your physical expression is unacceptable. It is unacceptable to be discomforted within physical expression. This is not accepted.
VICKI: Why do we choose unacceptable?
ELIAS: You are responding. You are sending messages. Subjectively, you are sending message to physical body. Objectively, you are responding to physical body. Your physical expression is confused, for you a sending opposing messages. Therefore, it becomes confused. Your objective consciousness holds to its one official line of reality. It does not easily relinquish this. You have chosen to be moving within subjective consciousness into objective awareness. Objective does not relinquish easily. Subjective is unofficial information; unfamiliar. Your belief systems are influencing within this action. You essentially catch your physical expression within the middle. Therefore, you feel confused. You feel disordered within physical body functioning. You feel not yourself, for your identity is challenged. This shall pass. Be accepting of your expression, and allowing. As you push against your own choice of movement, you create more confusion.
VICKI: I don’t understand how I push against it. I don’t understand how to not do that ’cause I don’t understand how I do it!
ELIAS: Within your expressions, attempt, if you may, to be viewing your expressions not as acceptable and unacceptable; to be only allowing. Think to yourself, Lawrence [Vicki], of your attempts to be incorporating of natural time. Do this with yourself. Incorporate natural acceptance.” [session 149, January 19, 1997]
RETA: “You said trauma would be one of the things people would go through in the shift, and that we can be helpful, and that one of the reasons we’re here is to learn to be helpful. You’re not saying that anyone here will experience trauma! Is that right? Not in this group?
ELIAS: This is your choice. If you are choosing to be availing yourself of this information and also applying this information and widening your awareness, you shall not be experiencing trauma within the shift. Not all that appear within this forum are choosing to be continuing and availing themselves of this information, and may experience trauma.” [session 157, March 09, 1997]
NORM: “And would you say that they do not need objective ideas such as what we have the opportunity to acquire here in order to be able to appropriately enter the shift?
ELIAS: I shall express to you all once again, you do not need this forum. It is unnecessary for your awareness for you to be interacting with Elias. You choose to engage this interaction, and the exchange is accomplished. Individuals throughout your planet shall draw themselves to information which shall be helpful to them. This is not to say that individuals shall all understand all that will occur; this being your objective in being helpful within consciousness. You view quite slightly presently a movement within consciousness, within yourselves objectively being affected. This affectingness causes confusion. At times it may cause you conflict, for you create conflict many times when you are confused. In this, you also shall experience moments of questioning where you shall be questioning of self and identity, as I have expressed to you often, and you may also question your reality. You hold information to allow you a footing, for you have asked. Therefore, you may experience these things but they shall be temporary, and you shall be accepting and understanding of what you experience. Others may experience these same occurrences, and as I have expressed to you previously, they will believe themselves to be entering insanity.
NORM: They choose this reality. They choose that trauma.
ELIAS: Yes, but I also express to you, in like manner to other individuals which I have addressed previously, I am not in agreement with the thought process and the direction that you move in within this statement. It is not merely, ‘Oh, well! These individuals create their own reality. It is of no consequence to me.’ For what another creates, so do you also. What another experiences, so do you also. As you lend energy to the shift you lend energy to yourself, for there are no separations. There are no sections. Therefore, aspects of yourself choose, in your terms, the trauma, but you do not. Therefore, you may be helpful to other aspects of you in lessening this trauma, in recognition that it is unnecessary; not that it is ‘bad,’ but it is unnecessary.” [session 160, March 30, 1997]
NORM: “The basic question is, can science develop a thing, living or not, that can measure subjective activity of any kind?
ELIAS: Your operative word is ‘can’ you. As all things are possible to you, I shall express yes, you can. Now; whether this is more probable, I shall express that as you continue within physical focus you shall develop instruments that will be designed more efficiently to measure objective responses and imagery of subjective movement, although not measuring subjective movement itself; the reason being that as you move into the action of your shift, it also shall become unnecessary for you to be developing instrumentation to be measuring of subjective activity. It shall be accepted. The reason that you create instruments within your technology is to prove elements to yourselves, to give yourselves information in proving what you think. It shall be unnecessary to be proving subjective activity once your shift is accomplished, for it shall be accepted.
NORM: It would seem to me like there’s a lot of people that are not going to accept this for some period of time. It would be totally different than the history that we’ve had so far. I guess that’s to be expected, but that means that it will be a situation where almost all people will then have inner senses that are operating to the point where they will accept this information.
ELIAS: This shift encompasses your entire globe. This shift is not concerning some individuals. It is concerning all individuals within this dimension within this particular physical focus. It is involving all of what you think of presently as your future focuses, although they are simultaneous. There shall not be individuals excluded from the action of this shift. It is an agreement and a movement in consciousness. It incorporates all of the consciousness within this dimension and physical focus.
You are correct that there shall be many individuals that shall not quite so readily be accepting of this movement, this being the reason why I have expressed that there shall be experienced trauma as involved with this shift. This is also the reason that you have drawn yourselves to this forum and that you speak with me, to be affecting within consciousness, to be helpful in eliminating this trauma, for you hold an awareness subjectively, and becoming objectively, of the trauma connected with this shift, and therefore wish to be helpful in lessening this manifestation.
NORM: Somehow we are perceiving the future in our dream state? Is that what we’re doing?
RETA: Or was it an agreement before we came here to be helpful?
ELIAS: This is a difficult area, for this incorporates your concept of your time framework. In one manner of speaking I express to you that this agreement has been made previously, although it is being made presently. You inquire that you are viewing futurely within your dream state. You experience what you think of as future time, for it is sideways time. It is not future. It is simultaneous. It is now. Therefore yes, you do experience future time and also past time within your dream state. You create affectingness within consciousness subjectively, beneath your dream imagery.
RETA: I want you to know that when you say that we may have had an agreement ahead of time, that feels really comfortable inside. It really feels like you do hit the truth. I’ve been comfortable with that all along. I want to express to you that I appreciate you, and I feel that you’ve taught me quite a bit. I just wish I could pass it on faster, or take the time to do more with it.
ELIAS: You are. (Smiling)
NORM: Is this occurring through what was stated as mass action? Is the term mass action involved with the shift? It is, isn’t it?
ELIAS: There are many mass events that shall be in response to this shift, and you may express a terminology of mass action or collective action if you are choosing. It is, en masse, an agreement within essence of all essences choosing to be participating within this physical dimension.
NORM: Do the focuses, are they involved directly with mass action?
ELIAS: Yes.
DREW: These mass events you said will be the result of the shift. Is it likely there will be mass events that will help cause the shift?
ELIAS: Absolutely. You have witnessed recently one small mass event which has been influencing in the movement of the shift within consciousness, within this recent week time. (5)
DREW: Now, you had indicated that this was actually a small event that was greatly influencing. So when we use the word mass event and we’re looking into the probabilities of things to come that will aid the shift, I’d like to get a sense of scale. Will these events be similar in scale to the kinds of things we’ve experienced in the past week, or will there be mass events on a national or even global scale that will be influencing?
ELIAS: These all involve probabilities. Therefore, I may not express to you definites of mass events, in predicting that globally you shall experience this or that. There are probabilities that may be created, if gaining enough collective energy, which shall be in extreme large occurrences, although as I have stated, this is not necessary. Therefore, you may choose within probabilities to be not creating of tremendous exaggerated actions; this being part of the action of these individuals within this forum, yourself also, is to be avoiding massive drama and therefore eliminating of much trauma.
DREW: And yet it would seem, as Norm said, unlikely that large numbers of our population, nationally and globally, would have such shifts in belief systems without some sort of traumatic mass event. The numbers are so great and their belief systems so entrenched, it would seem unlikely that without some sort of objective event, their change in belief systems would be unlikely to occur.
ELIAS: I address first to what is seeming to be a misunderstanding. Individuals upon your planet, essences manifest physically within this dimension and upon your planet, hold agreement to be accomplishing a shift in consciousness. This shift in consciousness is not necessarily an elimination or a change in belief systems! It is an awareness and an acceptance of those held belief systems, and therefore, within this awareness and acceptance, there is an allowance of an expansion of consciousness objectively within physical focus, expanding your creativity and your objective abilities, or your belief in your objective abilities.
Individuals throughout your globe may continue to hold their belief systems, but they will hold an awareness that they are belief systems and not truths. They will recognize that their sciences incorporate equal amounts of belief systems as your religious elements. They will understand their own creativity and their own ability to manipulate and move within consciousness more efficiently and to be manifesting objectively aware connections within consciousness of self and other essences, therefore expanding objectively your knowledge of reality within physical focus.
Therefore, as you move into the action of your shift, as I express to you that individuals shall experience trauma, they shall not experience trauma in regard to a massive global explosion which shall be upturning their world and eliminating of all of their known reality. They shall be experiencing trauma as they naturally move into more of an objective awareness of subjective activity and bleed-through action, which shall be confusing and which they shall be identifying within themselves as insanity. Therefore, your planet shall be seized with the epidemic of mass lunacy, to their way of thinking, without helpfulness within consciousness.
They shall not be eliminating of their individuals belief systems. I do not express to you that you be eliminating of your individual belief systems. They are a part of your reality within this focus. I express to you only that you widen your awareness to hold an understanding that what you actualize is filtered through belief systems, that you do hold belief systems, that everything within your physical focus is affected by your belief systems. This is not wrong! This is not bad! This is not inefficient! This is what you have created within this dimensional focus, and it is quite efficient. It is only too limiting for your creativity within this present now, for you choose to be expanding your creativity and utilizing more of your abilities unrestrained.
RETA: Could I liken this to perhaps the mass event of the end of communism as we know it, the Berlin Wall coming down? Because within that mass event there were more people exposed to freedom and allowed to think for themselves for the first time, and allowed to integrate themselves with other ideas, other nations, other concepts. To me, that mass event was a real push toward widening understanding. I know it’s got to go a long ways, but even in the countries now that are still more or less controlled by their regimes or their culture, they still now know of outside ideas and worlds and so they do not think the same as they used to think. So more people do have an awareness that they never had before. So that mass event to me was a huge event.
ELIAS: Just as within the small event of which we spoke at our last session, these events serve to be altering of perception and awareness. It matters not the direction. It matters that the perceptions and the awareness is altered. In this, you are correct. I shall reserve my debating with you, of individuals’ choices to be manifest within certain locations of your planet and restrictions which they choose to place upon themselves as opposed to inflicting upon other individuals, for a later date. (Chuckling)
NORM: You mentioned before that we are leaving the era of religious ideas. Will this be the age of enlightenment? Is that term going to be the one that refers to the era of the shift?
ELIAS: This would be a popular terminology globally. Within your present now, many individuals within many cultures within many religious beliefs systems incorporate this wording, which is acceptable if you are choosing this to be your terminology.
NORM: Will it be known as that in the future, in the ‘sideways’ future? (Laughter)
ELIAS: (Chuckling) Very good! I shall say that within probabilities your history records may record this terminology in reference to this time period of this shift, whether or not you choose to incorporate it as a ‘title.’” [session 162, April 06, 1997]
ELIAS: “It is to an extent valuable to be aware of elements of your other focuses as we are approaching your shift. As you approach your shift in consciousness, many more subjective elements shall become obvious to you. You shall be incorporating many more subjective bleed-throughs. Therefore, it is valuable to you to be holding an understanding of your other focuses, for they are influencing of this focus. They are not only influencing of this focus physically, but they are also influencing of this focus emotionally. This dimension of physical focus which you have chosen to manifest into is based in emotional experience. Therefore, this is an extreme element in importance, for your experience.
Your emotional state within this particular focus holds influences from your other focuses also. In this, your fears within this particular dimension and within this particular focus are also influenced by fears within other focuses of this dimension. I specify this, for you hold focuses of essence within many dimensions.
You are not only manifest within this particular dimension and physical focus. There are numberless physical focuses occupying the same space arrangement. The focuses which are influencing of this focus, to which you recognize as you, are those which are also within this dimension. This is not to say that some of your other focuses within other dimensions do not bleed through or influence you, for they do; but for the most part, your encoding limits itself to one dimension. Therefore, you hold a framework of reference subjectively to be functioning efficiently within this dimension.
You may be choosing many manifestations within this dimension, and you may be allowing recently some bleed-through information into your objective awareness. This occurrence is a natural action which is happening presently as you are approaching your shift within consciousness. This shift shall allow you more of an awareness than you have incorporated within the entirety of your history upon this planet. We have spoken of lessening or eliminating the trauma that may be incorporated within this shift in consciousness. Many individuals do not understand what may possibly be creating of trauma with regard to this shift. I express to you that as you allow more subjective information to become objectively known, this becomes very confusing; for this subjective information does not fit within the framework of your accepted reality.
You are not only changing small elements of your reality within the action of this shift. You are changing essentially the entirety of your manifest reality within this dimension; for you shall approach all of this reality differently as you incorporate much more subjective activity. It is quite obvious to you all that the movement within what you classify as psychic activity is growing tremendously. This continues upon a daily basis, and you all lend energy to the continuation of this movement which is altering and shifting the consciousness of your globe. This is not limited to a small area. This encompasses the entirety of your planet.
Were you not to allow yourselves the information of subjective activity and the understanding that this is also an element of yourselves and that you are much more than what you view within your mirrors as one physical entity, you would be experiencing much conflict within the confusion of information which shall be bleeding through. You have chosen this action collectively. Therefore, the information shall bleed through. You shall incorporate experiences of interaction with individuals within transition. You shall connect with information of your own focuses of essence. You shall recognize that all about you is your own creation, and also is not quite as solid as you view it to be! You also may surprise yourselves at your own abilities to manipulate energies in ways that previously may have seemed impossible.
Other focuses are lending energy to you presently within the movement and accomplishment of this shift; this being why, futurely and presently, you shall be encountering more of your own belief systems. They shall be becoming more obvious to you; for within the action of this shift you have chosen to be accepting of belief systems and acknowledging that they exist within physical focuses, but also that they are nothing more than belief systems. These hold no power unless you allow them. In this, as you move into the accomplishment of your shift you shall experience much less conflict and what you view to be tension, for you shall understand that these belief systems that you hold are not truths. They are belief systems. They may serve you, or they may not. They are not dictating to you.” [session 174, May 17, 1997]
ELIAS: I have stated already the intent of our agenda.
RETA: You’ve stated it already. So we need to go back through and find it, or would you give me a hint where it is?
ELIAS: This intercourse occurs for the purpose of delivering information with regard to the shift, in the effort to be lessening the trauma associated with your shift in consciousness.” [session 179, June 01, 1997]
NORM: “Will it be helpful, in the event of the trauma, to be able to have a specialized trauma hospital for people that have various experiences that.... (Elias starts laughing)
ELIAS: You may choose this singularity of motion if you are wishing, although it is unnecessary, for the interaction that you shall be engaging is subjective within consciousness. As you are approaching another individual, you may express through your language whichever you choose. The interaction will occur subjectively, in a knowing of acceptance and a knowing of no separation. You may term this to be in your language a ‘universal support system,’ although it is applied only to this universe within this space arrangement within this dimension and this reality!
Q: ... Elias, you spoke earlier about the shift in consciousness creating confusion and misunderstanding. Can you tell us things that we might look for that would indicate this was taking place?
ELIAS: This occurs presently all about you. Individuals experience the same subjective bleed-through that you individuals experience, but recognize. Individuals that do not hold this information objectively experience, regardless, the same events. Therefore, they may be encountering your extraterrestrials, which are YOU, (laughter) and they may be experiencing strange objects, which are your creation, and they may view the alteration of objects before their waking eyes and they may not hold an interpretation. This creates fearfulness. Individuals, as you are aware presently, create fearfulness within themselves, for they do not understand what they are creating. Therefore, they view this as threatening.
Also be remembering, you are moving out of your religious era. Many belief systems have been developed within this era. They are quite strong! Individuals may objectively manifest those elements which correlate to their belief systems. You may view little demons with tails! (Laughter) They are your projections of your belief systems. They are not entities attempting to be hurtful to you. They are projections of your own fearfulness; but within the belief systems, many individuals experience much confusion and trauma, for they do not understand.
Also, we have spoken earlier of transition. I have expressed to you that many, many individuals shall be choosing to be experiencing much of this action of transition within physical focus. This already presently occurs. You label this as senility. You label this as a dysfunction. Therefore, you attempt to alter this without an understanding. The individuals that are creating this reality also hold no understanding objectively. Therefore, this creates a frightenedness within them, and much confusion. They are not accepting of the reality that they create any more than you are accepting of the reality that they create!
ANDY: ... Elias, how will the shift affect other groups and belief systems in the human world, like the Christian belief system?
ELIAS: There are many, many cultures within your planet that experience these subjective bleed-throughs and hold less confusion than do you within your western Christian belief systems, although you are all allowing yourselves the opportunity to be understanding; for you all, within the entirety of your globe collectively, experience these same bleed-throughs. Therefore, you may view individuals within your western culture that encounter their extraterrestrials, but you may also view individuals within very small native cultures with no civilization, within your terms, that also encounter your extraterrestrials. It is not limited to those of you which hold western civilization. In actuality, I have expressed that there exists among you one small tribe of individuals which hold an objective understanding much greater than any else upon your planet, and have already incorporated much of the action of this shift. It shall all be accomplished within your objective time framework by a specific time period that you have agreed upon, but you may be accomplishing within this time framework at different rates, so to speak; this being the reason that you hold the ability for helpfulness with many individuals in avoiding trauma and confusion within the action of this shift, for you do hold a beginning of understanding and awareness.
Many individuals within your western civilization hold very strong belief systems. In this, they shall be experiencing trauma, for they do not understand objectively the experiences that bleed through subjectively into their objective awareness.* You may be instrumental in acceptance of belief systems, and helpfulness to individuals not holding this objective understanding to be in your terms ‘working through’ belief systems, for they shall be accepted. Therefore, you may offer yourselves examples of activity and behavior that shall alter. As I have expressed, if you are not holding the belief system within its power, if you are accepting of the belief system and neutralizing its power, you may be occupied with other adventures within creativity. It is unnecessary to be creating of the behavior that you are creating now, for you will not hold the judgment of right and wrong. You shall understand that these are experiences. Therefore, they do not hold the power.
Let us explore a very simple example of a small child. If you are expressing to a very small child that it may not have this chocolate that you place in front of it, it shall desire this chocolate! (Much laughter) It shall incorporate behavior to be acquiring of this chocolate, for it has been denied and it has also been expressed within a belief system. The belief system has been projected to this child that they may not accomplish – this will be wrong. Therefore, they become intrigued, and are very aware of the energy which has been projected to them.
In this, as you are continuously exploring energy within an insatiable curiosity, you shall wish to be experiencing this which has been projected within energy in denial of your experience. If you hold no belief system or if you have accepted the belief system and are aware, therefore recognize that all is experience, you neutralize the energy of the belief system. Therefore, you may express, ‘You may not have this chocolate, but if this be your experience, it matters not.’ You may encounter a different response from this child, for it may lose interest in what it may acquire as it wishes; this being a very simple example, and only one within the action of this shift.
As I have expressed, you shall also access many other areas of consciousness that you do not allow yourselves within your belief systems presently. You do not en masse speak to individuals that you view to be dead! There is no ‘dead,’ but you believe that there is an existence of separation. Therefore, you do not allow yourself the experience. Within an understanding that this is a belief system arranged within your physical reality as an explanation to yourself of information that you have forgotten, you allow yourself the remembrance; and in this, you may engage this experience.
You may access your focuses within this dimension. Presently, you believe that you must engage elaborate steps to be accessing of your other focuses within this dimension. You must be engaging out-of-body experiences, or you must be engaging hypnotic states, or you must be concentrating extremely within your meditations. You merely need look to another focus to access, but you believe that you may not. Therefore, you do not.
Within the acceptance of the belief system, the energy is dissipated, which is that which creates the limitation. In the acceptance of the belief system, you understand its reality, and you may step beyond these belief systems, allowing for your own creativity. And if you are wishing to be exchanging – not viewing only, but exchanging – temporarily with another focus, you may, and you may cross your time frameworks and you may exchange temporarily with your focus within 1314, and they may exchange with you, and you may not incorporate a ‘method!’ You may merely will it, and it shall be.
You also shall offer yourselves the opportunity to be exploring more efficiently your own dimension and your creations. Presently, you seek to be exploring with technological apparatus, and you fly around space. You shall acquire the information and know that it is much more efficient to be traveling through space than to be traveling around space. You begin now to understand partially this concept. You allow yourself to relax your belief systems and accept that you may create an experience which you term to be out-of-body, within limitations. This is traveling through space. It is much more efficient! (Laughter) And, incorporates ‘no-time'!” [session 185, June 21, 1997]
BOB#1: “Isn’t the apocalypse largely a Judeo, actually not even Judeo, but a Christian belief?
ELIAS: No. There are many other religious elements that believe in these prophecies also, not necessarily in the identical same actions, but within the action of massive destruction of your planet.
RETA: In talking to a couple of individuals who firmly believe this is going to be happening, and in talking to them about the Earth being a living thing and so on and telling them that we possibly could stop this action, they were very adamant that we had no business even thinking it would stop because it’s God’s plan. So there would be a lot of opposition in some people.
ELIAS: This is not, as I have said, necessarily opposition. It is a difference in belief systems which does not necessarily lend to the destruction of your planet and the actualization of these prophecies. It does not necessarily express a lack of lending of energy to your shift, for they believe that a massive extreme change shall occur, and a massive extreme change is occurring!
RETA: But not in destruction?
ELIAS: It matters not!
BOB#1: In their mind, it’s just a destruction of their precepts.
RETA: I don’t know. They believe in physical destruction of the globe, and then they’re talking about the globe eventually going into a celestial state of a sea of glass. I mean, there’s all kinds of things that can be read.
ELIAS: It matters not.
NORM: So is this vote absolutely democratic? If fifty percent or greater intend for it to happen, then it will happen?
ELIAS: No.
NORM: Well, how is it decided?
ELIAS: Within agreement globally.
NORM: Nobody can ever agree to anything! I mean, are there numbers involved? I mean, are percentages involved?
ELIAS: Not in your terms. You are misunderstanding; this being why we move away from these areas of discussion, for it lends only to your misunderstanding and confusion.
(Firmly) This shift is accomplished. This shift is accomplishing. Within your physical dimension, the probabilities presently, within this moment ... and you may ask and I shall be offering you information within every other moment that we are interacting, and I shall be expressing to you that it is continuing to be in agreement globally ... within essence, within consciousness, this shift shall be accomplished and inserted into your reality. This is not to say that probabilities in themselves do not exist for opposition or for non-materialization, but these are very, very, very less probable for insertion into your dimension within this present now and the agreement within consciousness of all of the essences which focus within this dimension.
NORM: In other words, the shift in awareness is being accomplished, but there may be other happenings that will occur simultaneously or will occur in the next hundred years, such as destruction. The shift will occur, but other....
ELIAS: If you are choosing, but you may also be choosing not to be actualizing these elements.
BOB#1: So the shift is a result of choices that have already been made and agreements that have already been formed within probabilities in the past, so to speak?
ELIAS: In the now, so to speak! (Grinning)
BOB#1: Okay, for the purposes of discussion! And these choices tend to take on a bit of a cause and effect kind of nature. Had other choices been made, the shift may not have occurred, but since the choices were made en masse, in agreement over time with large numbers of essences, we move towards this shift. So what you’re saying is the probability that we will make an abrupt left-turn or reversal is just not highly likely?
ELIAS: Correct.
DAVID: So the shift then is going to happen. Therefore, if we choose in that process to have destruction, then we will have it, but the shift will happen either way.
ELIAS: Correct; this being part of why I speak to you, that you may become aware and not be creating of these elements which are unnecessary, and also creating much trauma for yourselves which is unnecessary.” [session 196, July 20, 1997]
DAVID: “Can I ask then, in respect to that person (6) ... I’ll say it quietly ... is that an indication to us of what we are going to experience in a mass form?
ELIAS: This is an example for you, that you may realize through experience of objectively witnessing and interacting with an individual experiencing trauma in relation to the shift, that you may understand more fully the reality of this trauma which I have spoken to you of. Therefore, the experience creates more of an acceptance of the reality of the concept. This also offers you information in why you are directing your energy to be helpful within the shift.
DAVID: Now, if they choose not to come back, how are we going to continue helping them?
ELIAS: It is unnecessary that the individual incorporates themselves within this forum, or returns objectively. The example has been offered. The experience has been objectified with you. Therefore, the understanding has been offered, and you may be helpful within directing the pyramid energy.
RON: Would that be considered a common, so to speak, manifestation of this trauma?
ELIAS: If helpfulness is not offered, yes. This is your objective. This is the point, to be avoiding the trauma in the shift and not creating the trauma in the shift; this being an example of probabilities that you choose. If you are lending energy to eliminating the trauma in the shift and being helpful, you shall create the probability of less conflict and no trauma within individuals within the action of the shift.
BOB: Is it necessary or even likely that every individual will move through this particular type of experience, or is it possible that there will be other experiences that you would not even describe as trauma? I have a sense of people moving towards a calmness, a serenity, a knowing that is not objective, but purely subjective. So I guess you wouldn’t describe it as awareness, but that there are certain parts of our population who are just simply calming down. Is that an accurate description of what some people might go through?
ELIAS: Correct, although the main element of this shift in consciousness is that you shall be consciously, objectively aware of subjective abilities. Therefore, eventually you all shall move into a position of knowing and interacting with subjective awareness. This is not to say that you must be manifesting the type of example which has been presented to you. This is an example of trauma. The point is to be avoiding this trauma, in a recognition that it is not necessary. You may move into the objective awareness more easily and with less conflict, although at points you all shall experience some confusion, but this is not necessarily to say that you shall create conflict and trauma.
BOB: I have the sense that there is ... and it’s really strange, it’s rather unlike me ... that there are large groups of people who are simply moving towards awareness and are recognizing things but not quantifying them, just simply going, ‘Hmm!’ And they’re just simply noticing things, and they’re moving. And as things are made clear, they’re just simply accepting things relatively readily, that everything’s going to be okay, sort of ... that there is part of the population that’s doing that.
ELIAS: Correct. This is the action of the shift that you are lending energy to. This is the example of what you may be continuing to be helpful in creating, as opposed to the example of trauma; but without the example physically presented to you of the trauma, you did not understand the concept and the extreme and the intensity and the reality that individuals may experience this action. Therefore, this, within you and within your knowing subjectively, allows you a clearer understanding of the elements of the shift to which I have been explaining to you.
VICKI: ... Is there anything that Mary and I could have done, within objective, verbal interaction with this individual who was experiencing this trauma, that we’re just totally clueless about, that would be helpful maybe in another situation?
ELIAS: Within the limitations of understanding at the time of the interaction, you were accomplishing well. I may express to you, you may have expressed more or differently, although this would be requiring of more information which you did not hold at the moment. Therefore, you moved within the boundaries of the information that you had. You each experienced unfamiliar action which you held no explanation of. Therefore, your response was as it was. Futurely, you may be responding differently within more acceptance, as you do hold explanation now of the experience of the individual and of the energy. Therefore, be acknowledging of the accomplishment, not discounting that you did not accomplish enough.
VICKI: I’ve thought about it, and it’s not the first time we’ve been presented with what is an unfamiliar energy, or it appears to be so intense at the time that you don’t quite know what to do. You find yourself responding emotionally, and you don’t know quite what to do! I guess maybe there’s some sort of belief systems in there that maybe there’s some ‘bad’ energy. I don’t know.
ELIAS: Quite.
VICKI: I wouldn’t consciously think that, but after watching my own responses ... I realize you pull away when things are unfamiliar.
ELIAS: Quite. Michael [Mary] nor yourself, Lawrence [Vicki], objectively holds thought processes of ‘bad’ or ‘evil’ energy, although the belief system is held en masse and this is influencing subjectively. Therefore, within intensity and unfamiliarity, you are correct. You pull away, for you lack understanding. Therefore, you also do not allow acceptance; but as you present yourselves with more experiences – which is your best teacher! – you shall become more familiar and you shall be responding within your behavior differently, for your acceptance shall be increasing. Your acceptance already has increased greatly, from previous time periods within this forum.” [session 200a, July 27, 1997]
Paul (Patel): “Much of your present time framework that you have chosen to refer to as all time ... which is not in reality all time, for there is no all or time ... has been devoted to a religious incorporation of right and wrong. These terms have been chosen as a means of separation from self. As the terms are presented to you, a visual image is then presented by you, of a ‘good thing’ on the one hand and a ‘bad thing’ on the other. These interpretations of good and evil shall become evident to you as you move closer to the finalization, so to speak, of this shift; for as you come to recognize these separations, you shall also come to realize that within consciousness there is actually no separation between them. These expressions of good and bad are only separated by you for the experience of making a distinction; this also being a term of separation.
Be not misunderstanding, for as this action of this shift takes place, so to speak, individuals shall be fearful of losing this individuality, which is the reason that separation has been created by you. These concepts of separateness shall become more obvious to you as the shift proceeds, and in this individuals may choose to either accept the new, so to speak, information presented, or they may choose to hold even more tightly to their religious beliefs, in fear that they shall be forfeiting their individuality. This is not the case. However, many shall be experiencing this expression.
To these individuals, much care should be given to expression of acceptance of this expression, for to attempt to change the thought processes of these individuals shall be quite confusing to them. By expression of acceptance, a model, so to speak, has been offered to them, and a knowing on their part is put into play. As an individual is incorporating trauma, many beliefs are placed in motion, and they will tend to block or interfere with expressions of helpfulness. This shall become evident to each individual as this shift progresses, so to speak. In this, more helpfulness may be achieved by expressions of acceptance than by physical interaction. This is not to say that interaction may not be helpful. It is only to say, listen to your inner voice and choose the expression that feels, so to speak, right to you.
This information that has been offered within your past two years has been offered to you not as a lesson, but as a reminder; for these individuals that have drawn themselves to this interaction have already incorporated a certain amount of remembrance, and have chosen to assist other individuals within their quest for this same remembrance. These individuals shall also offer helpfulness to you in a mirroring of remembrances. Within each memory lies a multitude of probabilities that shall all manifest, and in these probabilities are choices that have been made by you for your own noticing, and these choices shall be also experienced by other individuals expressing similar choices, only affecting in a way to mirror the affect of your individual choice.
Perception is the key, so to speak, to understanding, and understanding is the key to incorporation, and incorporation is the key to action, and action is the key to reality.” [Paul (Patel) session 35, August 22, 1997]
ELIZ: “The only thing that confuses me is ... well, a lot of things before! But now, I don’t quite understand ... how do I put this? ... how it’s going to be accepted. For instance, my mom was telling me about the lady that was talking to her, that was experiencing the shift overwhelmingly, and how she didn’t work. All she did was go to the gym, and her whole family thought she was crazy. It seems that if the whole world is in that kind of a state, who’s going to take care of the world, you know? This is what I’m worried about.
ELIAS: This be the reason that information is offered. The individual of which you speak has been offered information, and in this experiences less trauma presently and holds a greater ability to cope, so to speak, with the opening that she has allowed herself. Each individual shall draw information to themselves to be offering explanation within their confusion, and in this, each individual shall be understanding more of this action within consciousness.
I express to many individuals, and you also: It matters not of other individuals and their choice within the action of this shift. It matters that you look to YOU. Be not concerned with other individuals and how they shall manifest their reality within this shift. Be concerned with how YOU manifest and what YOU allow, for in your allowance, you also lend energy to other individuals to be lessening of their trauma. You are all interconnected.
I express to you in one vein that it matters not of what other individuals experience or express. I also express to you that it matters, for as you gain information, you also may be helpful in sharing the information that you hold.
ELIZ: Verbally?
ELIAS: At times. You will find that as you occupy your attention with you and upon your own experiences and are allowing yourself more and more acceptance of self and your experiences, you shall hold a greater understanding with other individuals. In this, you shall know how to be connecting with other individuals to be helpful. This may not necessarily be an offering of Elias’ information! This may be that you, in interaction with another individual, may recognize experiences and feelings and confusion within them that you also have experienced. In this, you may offer helpfulness to the other individual, in expression that they are not experiencing lunacy; that in reality, their reality is altering, and this is the point.
(Pause)
Attempt to be allowing yourselves to enter into areas of experiencing within this shift, and not holding fearfulness, and continuing to be focusing your attention upon the present now; for no other exists. There is no future; there is no past. There is now – continuously. Therefore, allow yourselves the experience within the now, and be trusting of yourselves. As you allow more of your widening and your experiencing, you also allow yourself more of your language to yourself. Therefore, you also offer yourself more information of self, and of your direction, and of your choices. If you are concerning yourself futurely, you are distracting yourself from listening to yourself. Individuals express to this essence, ‘What shall I do? Which direction shall I move into?’ You may answer these questions for yourselves if you are only listening to yourselves. If you are focusing your attention within the now, you may be surprising yourselves that your self shall speak to you within impressions and impulses and that small, quiet voice within you, which shall offer you your own direction and give you your answers.
You need hold no dependence upon other individuals or this essence for your answers, for you magnificently may offer these answers to yourselves. It is merely a question of remembering and listening to self, and you shall know within you when you are speaking to yourself. You shall hold a recognition of impressions that in your terms shall feel right to you, and you shall know which direction you wish to be choosing within your probabilities. This be the point, and why I express so very often to individuals that they focus upon the now, and self; for in this, you need not be inquiring of this essence! I may be offering you explanations of your reality, and I may be offering you helpfulness within your confusion, but this essence does not choose your probabilities for you. No essence chooses probabilities for you. You choose for yourselves. And as you are listening to other individuals or even listening to what you view to be other essences expressing to you a direction that you must move within, hold this as suspect, for no other individual may offer you your direction.” [session 216, September 13, 1997]
ELIAS: “This shall be one of very few – very few – sessions that I shall move into this direction of expressing to you the most probable probabilities that you hold futurely; but in encouragement of your movement and acknowledgment of your movement, which you presently doubt, I have chosen to be encouraging of you this evening and expressing to you a slight glimpse into what your most probable future probabilities are, as they exist within this present now.
NORM: Will we be able to develop instruments that reflect our consciousness that have, indeed, conscious intent?
ELIAS: You shall continue to create instruments and technology that monitor your physical reality, although you shall also incorporate more information about consciousness and acknowledge this more freely; but within your sciences you shall continue in the direction that you are moving in presently, in monitoring and developing within physical aspects.
NORM: We in this form have a limited awareness of a change, in our view of the world. Will that become quite commonplace by the year 2050?
ELIAS: Yes; much more expanded than you are now.
NORM: Will inner senses be used more commonly than they are now?
ELIAS: Yes.
NORM: The basic physical needs of entities or focuses here are food and clothing and some shelter. That will be handled by other than monetary means?
ELIAS: Yes. Not necessarily by your specific date of 2050....
NORM: Plus or minus twenty-five years?
ELIAS: Correct.
NORM: Our food intake could be drastically modified by then?
ELIAS: Less.
NORM: Less food required?
ELIAS: Correct.
NORM: And more water!
ELIAS: You shall realize that monetary gain is unnecessary and meaningless. You shall move into a new area of consciousness, this being part of the action of this shift in consciousness. In shifting your consciousness, you shall move into the area of realization that the exploration of your existence within physical focus is more important than your monetary gain, and more satisfying.
NORM: Experiences that we desire to have, we will be tending toward those experiences rather than making sure that we have a house?
ELIAS: You shall be provided for. It shall not be an issue any longer.
NORM: Our creativity will be able to provide that for us?
ELIAS: All individuals shall work together within the area of value fulfillment, and in this you shall be providing for each other in all areas.
NORM: Fantastic!
DAVID: In these change-overs that we’re going to experience, will they be all gradual change-overs that won’t create sudden conflict or panic, or will there be much of that?
ELIAS: Not necessarily. This be your choice, and this be the element of probabilities. You may be choosing of great trauma and tremendous elements of destruction for your own attention. This be your choice. It is a probability. You may be deflecting of this choice and not creating of this, which is what you are moving into now by allowing yourself information concerning this shift in consciousness; to be eliminating those probabilities and inserting other probabilities into your reality, but they are a continuing probability.
DAVID: And if this information that you give us is not released ... is this information going to be part of helping to not create this panic or trauma?
ELIAS: It is an element of this.
DAVID: And if the monetary system suddenly collapses overnight like it almost did a few days ago, for example, that would cause panic instantly amongst everybody.
ELIAS: It shall not collapse immediately. This shall be a gradual process, and you shall realize that it is unnecessary. I shall be expressing to you that initially your sciences shall be discovering of new elements of your reality, and in this, this shall bring about your lack of necessity for your present system.
DAVID: It seems like science is going to be in the forefront here. Where is religion going to come into this?
ELIAS: Individuals shall continue to hold their religious belief systems, but this shall also deplete itself as individuals begin to be accepting of belief systems and recognizing that they hold belief systems. Your sciences also hold great belief systems, but they move into, as you express, the forefront now, in mirroring physically what you know to be within essence.
NORM: So the social and political systems are going to be replaced by a great deal of cooperation between all focuses?
ELIAS: But shall also continue to hold political influences; but your political influences shall be more directly involved and compatible with all of your societies.” [session 233, November 02, 1997]
NORM: “May I ask a question that’s a little off the subject? New Year’s Eve, starting at four o’clock and going until ten o’clock, and then again starting at ten and going to four o’clock in the morning, there was six hours of video exposition in regard to all the predictions that are to happen around the year 2000, from Nostradamus to the Bible to many, many current people that are having these experiences. And in that six hours – Reta and I both watched all six hours of it because it was fascinating, and of course I’m sure it was fascinating to a lot of people and will probably enhance the likelihood of all the disasters occurring – it only mentioned three times that some have said that this is only a possibility, that we have the choice of not making it happen. That seems to be of course not promoted, and it’s not good producing to say those types of things. But my concern is that when that happens ... and you were commenting before and I believe I have the right idea, that in our sleep we are experiencing information or gaining information in regard to that this is only a possibility and it’s our choice. Am I saying this right?
ELIAS: It is your choice. It is a matter of probabilities.
NORM: Are we gaining access to this information in our sleep?
ELIAS: You do.
NORM: Is this part of the reason why the nine babies were born, that they would be able to more directly interact with us, all of the people here on this Earth today? (7)
ELIAS: Their function is to be helpful within the action of this shift.
NORM: What does helpful mean in this regard?
ELIAS: In lessening the amount of trauma to be experienced within this shifting consciousness.
NORM: Does trauma include the end of four or five billion people?
ELIAS: It may.
RETA: I think one of the points was that there was ... everybody has fully described terrible things that are going to happen, but there’s only one or two places you can find described what we would like to lend energy to. So when millions of people are seeing this over and over and over and reading it over and over, non-religious or religious, saying all these disasters are going to come, all that energy is going there and I would like to see ... I know that that’s one of the reasons you’re here, but it seems to me that there ought to be a way to get more information out there on the other possibility, so that all this energy wouldn’t be lent to disaster.
ELIAS: This be the point!” [session 255, January 04, 1998]
SARA: “Okay. Let’s see. Aaron has a lot of religious beliefs, and I was wondering if in any way I can help him to not be afraid of an Armageddon or an impending doom, you know, religiously, or would this be interfering with his growth?
ELIAS: This is a mass belief system held by many individuals influenced by your religious era. I have expressed previously that both probabilities exist within the action of this shift. It is a question of which energies are lent more strongly to be inserting into this actual reality, that which shall materialize, so to speak.
SARA: Well, that makes me afraid because I don’t believe any ... I mean, I believe that there’s symbolism in the Bible, but I much more believe more of a Seth-type of philosophy, and I think that my focus would be very upset if a god came down, crashing through the sky! (Laughing)
ELIAS: God shall not come crashing through the sky, although you may be inserting destructiveness into this official reality if that energy is lent to proportionately more than the elimination of those probabilities. This be the reason that I speak to you all of this shift and of the affectingness of trauma within this shift, for in this you are offered more information and you hold the ability to alter probabilities and insert less trauma – and eliminate destructiveness in these probabilities – into your officially accepted reality. You also hold the ability to be creating of these elements if lending energy to them. Therefore, you may express to your partner that the more energy that is lent in this direction, the more it becomes a more probable probability. If you are concentrating upon destruction, you are lending energy to its creation.
SARA: If all probabilities are actualized, then why would you need to come here to help us?
ELIAS: All probabilities are actualized, but they are not all actualized within YOUR officially accepted reality. They are not all actualized within this particular dimension. You insert them into this dimension.
You choose certain probabilities that you shall be inserting into this particular dimension and reality. All probabilities are actualized in OTHER realities and outside of this particular officially accepted reality, but they are all not actualized within your officially accepted reality.
SARA: But I guess it’s kind of like if you see someone in the street who is in pain. You can either say, ‘Well, they created that reality!’ and walk past them, or you can decide to help them. But wouldn’t helping them be conflicting with the reality that they’re trying to create?
ELIAS: Not necessarily, for within your interaction you must also evaluate why you have drawn yourself to this situation, and in this you may also be listening to your intuitive sense and allowing yourself the information of whether this individual is requesting, within consciousness, your helpfulness or not. You have drawn yourself to the situation, and you have drawn for a reason.
I have expressed to individuals previously within this forum, this is incorrect to be expressing, ‘Oh well. You are creating your reality. It matters not.’ Very incorrect! You are ALL interconnected. There is no separation. Therefore, the experience of one is the experience of all, and you are part of the all.” [session 273, April 07, 1998]
ELIAS: “You are quite adept at focusing your attention singularly within the areas of your belief systems; and those element that are in agreement with these belief systems and supportive of these belief systems you accept, and those elements that are not, you do not allow yourselves to even view. You ignore. This be the reason also why there may be expressed trauma within this shift in consciousness, for individuals are continuing within the direction of their belief systems, and more elements of consciousness are becoming known to them, but as surprise, unexpectedly. Therefore, it is information outside of their officially accepted reality and belief systems.
This be also the reason that I speak with you, that you may hold the information and that you may offer this information to other individuals, and thereby lessen the amount of trauma that individuals shall be experiencing in regard to this shift in consciousness.
You offer yourselves many opportunities to view the limitedness of your explorations and your discoveries. You view that certain discoveries are wondrously amazing, but they are merely a small piece, and only that which supports what you already accept within your belief systems.
For much time framework, you have accepted that your origins spring from one location. Your sciences and your religions support this, that you hold your origins of your species upon one continent and that you have branched from there. Therefore, in this you also allow yourselves discoveries limitedly that shall support this belief system, but in widening your awareness and offering yourselves more information, opening to your consciousness and recognizing that there is much more available to you than you allow yourselves, you may also be noticing of much more information which is much more supportive of the vaster picture than merely the small picture that you allow yourselves to view presently.” [session 280, May 14, 1998]
ELIAS: “Good evening! (Smiling) This evening, we shall begin with an examination of your present time framework.
What be this air that hangs so very strangely upon this time period presently that moves you all in a new, strange direction that is unclear? ‘What is my purpose? What is my direction? Where are we moving? What does our future hold?’ These are questions that have been presented to this essence and that all of the individuals presently upon your planet are inquiring of, for these are strange times ... changing times, but interesting times!
You engage presently what I have designated in my terminology as a shift in consciousness, which is occurring presently and escalating and is affecting of all of you individually and also en masse. Odd and peculiar events occur within your present time framework, and this moves more intensely as you move forward within your linear time. In this, waves occur in consciousness.
Let me express to you that there is no separation within consciousness, and although you view yourselves to be separate individuals, and within this reality objectively you are, you are also not. You are all interconne
