Wednesday, January 10, 2001 “Relationships are Not Co-Created” “The Significance of Perception” “You Are Far Too Serious!” Participants: Mary (Michael) and a new participant, Axel. Elias arrives at 1:54 PM. (Arrival time is 21 seconds.) ELIAS: Good evening! AXEL: Good evening, my time, Elias. Good day, your time ... or Mary’s time, that is! (Axel lives in Germany) ELIAS: Ha ha ha! AXEL: Elias, I’m so happy. This is a miracle! ELIAS: (Chuckling) And I may express to you, my friend, this is no miracle, as you state, but the wondrousness of your own creation! Ha ha! AXEL: (Laughing) Now I realize immediately that it’s very easy to understand you. Your voice is very clear, the way it arrives here. ELIAS: (Chuckling) And our interaction shall be clear also. AXEL: I have prepared a few questions. Would that be fine with you, if I just start reading my first question? ELIAS: Quite! You may proceed. AXEL: During these last two years, I think I have been resolving many issues in my life, but finally addressing myself to the area of relationships, looking for a sort of ideal romance. I know this is a tough one for me. I guess that’s why I put it least on my list of things to do. It seems what I am learning in this touches every aspect of reality creation – perception, the now, trust, knowing, acceptance, holding tightly to energy. Everything comes together, almost as if this topic was a key element in my life, and now I’ve made up my mind to really find out what this is all about. The second part of my question would be, if in this context you could comment on my interaction with a colleague from the sales office. I told myself I won’t put myself into something that creates conflict, but now, here I go! ELIAS: (Chuckling) And you ARE creating conflict. (Chuckling again) Let me express to you an acknowledgment in your identification of the interaction and interplay and expressions that are exhibited in this subject matter of relationships, and in your accuracy of allowing yourself the recognition that all of these aspects of expression and perception are intimately involved in every aspect of your creations throughout the entirety of your focus, not merely in relation to relationships that you engage with other individuals. Now; in this, as you are allowing yourself to recognize all of the aspects, all of the concepts, all of the expressions that hold involvement in this subject matter and within your focus in its entirety, the key in allowing yourself to be creating what you identify as your objective want is to be turning your attention to self, familiarizing yourself with all of the different avenues of communication that you provide to yourself, familiarizing yourself with your creation of your behaviors and how they are influenced automatically by your beliefs, and the recognition that in actuality and in definite terms, your perception is the most important aspect of your reality to be allowing yourself an awareness of, an understanding of, and a recognition of in genuineness. For I may express to you, as I have expressed previously, it matters not what is created or exhibited in physical objective imagery that you view to be outside of yourself. What holds tremendous significance is your perception of what you are creating. Now; let me also express to you, in regard to this particular subject matter of relationships that you may be engaging with another individual, one of the most affecting hindrances of individuals within physical focus which creates obstacles in not actualizing the types of relationship that they wish to be creating, yourself also, is a lack of allowance of yourself to be expressing your want. Now; this may appear to you objectively to be quite simplistic, and also at times to be quite confusing, for you express to yourself objectively an identification of your want. But the mere identification of your want is not what shall create the actualization, through your perception, of that want. Therefore, you may express to yourself that you want or wish to be engaging in relationship with other individuals in harmony, that you wish to be creating a particular type of relationship in a romantic expression and intimacy. But the mere identification of the want is not what shall move your perception into the actualization or the materialization of that want, and the one aspect of expression that is most affecting and hindering of that movement and that actualization of the want is that although you allow yourself an identification of what you want, you do not allow yourself permission to create that. For you do not trust that you actually hold the ability to create that yourself, for your perception is influenced by your belief that the requirement for this type of creation lies in what you define as a co-creation, which expresses to you that you create some expression of participation in part, and that another individual creates in part some expression of participation also. Therefore, you are automatically limiting and denying your own ability in choice, for you are defining to yourself that your aspect of the creation of a relationship is merely half. You are not creating the entirety of the relationship; you are creating half or a portion of the participation. This is the pitfall, and this is the identification of why many individuals do not and are not creating the actualization of the want, for you are not recognizing the power and the reality of your individual perception. You are not recognizing objectively that this instrument of perception, which you have incorporated into your individual focus and manifestation in this physical dimension, is in actuality what creates ALL – and I emphasis this term of ALL – of your reality. It creates the other individuals. It creates your interaction with the individuals. It creates their individual interaction with you. It creates ALL of the exchanges, circumstances, situations, energy, expressions – every aspect, every moment, every movement which is created within your reality is created through your individual perception. Now; this is key, for in recognizing that your perception holds this tremendous expression of power and that YOU in actuality create ALL of the interactions that you experience, you also may begin to recognize within yourself the identifications of your own limitations that you place upon yourself through the recognition that there are certain aspects of your reality that you attribute to other individuals, that you deny yourself your choices in relation to the choices of other individuals. And therefore, you allow other individuals to dictate to you your reality, your choices or lack of choices, and this communicates in validation to yourself in the creation of emotional communications – in frustration, in discomfort, in disappointment, in anxiousness, in the expression at times of sadness – and your identification in objective thought of these communications many times translates into an expression of discounting of yourself, which merely reinforces your lack of acceptance and recognition of your ability to create in genuineness the expression of your want. Now; express to me your impression of your interaction with this other individual that you engage within your employ. AXEL: Hmm. My impression. Let me just think for a second. ELIAS: Very well. (13-second pause) AXEL: My impression is that there is a probability of a relationship, but it does not manifest because of a lack of trust. But like you said before ... my conclusion is, it’s a lack of trust from the other individual at least as much as mine, and this is exactly what you explained to me before. ELIAS: Yes. Now; allow yourself to pay attention to this interaction, for you are offering to yourself an objective, clear reflection in this interaction of what you are creating within self. As you create a lack of trust in your ability to be creating this relationship – as you deny yourself your own choice and question within yourself the actual validity and reality that it is in actuality your own perception which shall create the entirety of the relationship – as you express these within yourself, you project outwardly in energy, and the other individual serves perfectly as a reflection to you in very similar type of expression and energy, which offers you the opportunity to clearly view and identify what YOU are creating. Now; this is significant, for in not allowing yourself to move into the expression of judgment upon self, you may allow yourself the recognition that as you view what you yourself are expressing and creating, you also hold choice, and therefore you may offer to yourself a new expression of freedom in allowing yourself to express permission to yourself to create what you want, and it matters not what the choice is of the other individual. You hold the ability to create the relationship anyway. AXEL: Elias, at this point, I have a feeling that at least one time a few days ago, I was quite understanding of this issue already. Can you validate this? ELIAS: Yes, and I may express to you that this also is a movement that you have created in allowing yourself a preparation for and an objective understanding of what we engage in within conversation this day. AXEL: Aha! I see. ELIAS: You have offered yourself an experience that shall allow you more of a clarity in objective understanding and assimilation of what you and I are discussing now. AXEL: I understand completely. Okay. Shall I continue with my next question? ELIAS: You may. AXEL: I think I will skip this because my next question would have been, why do I experience contacts being cut abruptly? But I think this is already ... the answer is already included in your previous expression. ELIAS: (Chuckling) And you are correct! (They both laugh) AXEL: Okay. So I will jump to the next and read here from my screen. I do not have an interest in my other focuses, and neither do I seem to be so very interested in my dreams, although I always thought I should be because Seth emphasizes dreams so much. Personally, I rather tend to examine what is presented around me in my mundane existence. Is there something I am missing? I mean, would you advise that I turn my attention more in these directions? ELIAS: I may express to you, my friend, not necessarily. I am encouraging of many individuals to be exploring other aspects of themselves in the expressions of other focuses, but I offer that encouragement to individuals, that they may allow themselves the recognition that they are in actuality more than they view themselves to be, and this also, for many individuals, provides them with an objective avenue to become more familiar with the multi-dimensionality of themselves. But I may also express to you that this is not a rule or a requirement in becoming familiar with yourself. And in this, I may express to you also that although for some individuals, I may be encouraging of them to be investigating other focuses, I am also more encouraging of them to be paying attention to THIS focus and what they are creating and the influences of their beliefs in THIS now, for this is your focus of attention and this is what you identify as your reality. And in this, there may be influences which are expressed by the other aspects of yourself, which you may identify as other focuses of yourself or aspects of your essence, but your attention is here, in your terms. Your attention is now, and focused upon this one manifestation. Therefore, ultimately it holds the most significance. And in this, I shall be encouraging of you in your continuation in paying attention to what you create and what you engage and how you communicate with yourself in what you may physically term to be a daily basis, so to speak, for ultimately this holds the most significance. As to the expressions of dream imagery, this also is the choice of the individual. There is no rule, so to speak, that expresses that you must be or need be objectively paying attention [to] or recalling your dream activity. The recall of dream activity is merely the objective translation, in imagery, of subjective activity, and in this, some individuals choose to be engaging an objective recall of that activity and providing themselves with the objective translation of imagery, for they incorporate this as an avenue of communication and validation. You engage in this dream activity regardless that you allow yourself an objective recall. Therefore, as I have stated, this is the choice of the individual. In many situations, I am also encouraging of individuals to be paying attention to this dream imagery that they create, for it is in actuality another avenue of communication, but in like manner to any other avenue of communication, it is merely one avenue. You provide yourselves with many avenues of communication to yourself, and the preoccupation with any one avenue creates an exclusion of other avenues of communication which are, in your terms, equally valuable. AXEL: May I step in at this point? ELIAS: You may. AXEL: This would relate to my next question, which is ... I will read it. I have been trying to pay attention more to my inner voice, which has been a recent discovery. I mean, I have a feeling it’s quite easy and that this is a very natural way of communication with my inner self, and I enjoy doing it. I only wonder sometimes, in my weaker moments, whether the information I receive is valid, or maybe just an expression of beliefs in disguise. ELIAS: I may express to you that within this physical dimension, your belief systems are an integral aspect of the design of this particular physical dimension. Therefore, I may literally express to you, almost all of what you experience and communicate to self is filtered through some aspect of your beliefs. Now; this is not good or bad, for as I have stated previously, your beliefs in themselves are neutral, and therefore it matters not that you incorporate them and that you filter any communication through them. What may be viewed in relation to this action is the translation of your perception of these communications and the information which is being offered to you. In this, I am encouraging of you to continue to allow yourself an interaction with this avenue of communication through what you identify as your inner voice or your intuition, for this is providing you with intimate information concerning self, and in this, you may allow yourself to trust that voice and the information that it is providing you. AXEL: Very well! (They both laugh) Elias, one question. Were you playing with my telephone on Sunday? ELIAS: Ha ha ha ha ha! I may express to you, this is not in actuality playfulness with the instrument itself, but merely an offering of energy which has translated within your physical expression as an interruption of your equipment. AXEL: (Laughing) Okay, I just wanted to know that. Okay, may I continue with my next question? ELIAS: You may. AXEL: Another belief system that I feed is the belief that my sleep pattern is very much affecting of my consciousness. However, somehow I feel that it’s more than just a belief, but almost like a fact that has validity beyond beliefs, and is only reinforced by them. ELIAS: In actuality, in a manner of speaking you are correct, for the belief is the whisper of communication to your perception. Your perception translates that communication into an actual reality, and therefore it is, in a manner of speaking, beyond merely the expression of the belief, but that the belief continues to reinforce and influence the actualization of the reality which is exacted by the perception. AXEL: Okay. I’ll continue with my next question. Is there less conflict with my ex-wife because I have been accepting her more? ELIAS: I may be expressing to you, you are experiencing less conflict as you are allowing yourself to relax and allow within your energy, and as you place less judgment upon self, more acceptance upon self, this automatically creates a byproduct of allowance and acceptance in relation to this other individual. Therefore, in a manner of speaking, yes, you are creating more of an expression of acceptance in relation to this other individual, but that expression is extended outward in relation to what you are creating within yourself in relation to yourself. This is merely a byproduct of your own movement in acceptance within yourself. AXEL: It’s like she is now behaving the way I always wanted her to behave, which is very much the same thing you said in the beginning. ELIAS: You are correct, my friend, and I shall be offering you one point that you are allowing yourself to correlate and view the similarities and also view the difference in what you allow yourself permission to express and what you allow yourself NOT to express, for they are, in a manner of speaking, two sides of the same coin. And you offer yourself this imagery quite efficiently objectively, that you may view the difference of expression, and how in one situation, so to speak, you offer yourself an expression of relaxation; permission to be creating what you choose to be creating. Your focus of attention is with self and not concentrated upon the other individual and their choices, and in this, you express an acceptance of self, which projects outwardly and expresses the byproduct of acceptance of the other individual, and this is mirrored and reflected to you by the other individual. And in the other situation, you create the example to yourself of the other side of the coin, in which you do not allow yourself this permission and this freedom to choose what you wish to be creating and you do not offer yourself the acceptance of your ability to be accomplishing that creation, and therefore you do NOT create it. (Chuckling) AXEL: Yes, absolutely! ELIAS: Ha ha! I may express to you, my friend, you are quite efficiently offering yourself clarity in your objective imagery that you present to yourself. Ha ha! AXEL: And one thing I really am so excited to know would be my orientation and alignment. ELIAS: Very well. Let me express to you first of all, what is your impression as to your essence families and your orientation? AXEL: I was thinking my essence family would be Sumari and my alignment Ilda. ELIAS: (Chuckling) And I may express to you, essence family Sumafi, alignment Ilda. AXEL: Sumafi/Ilda? ELIAS: Correct. AXEL: Thank you very much. Could you tell me the same for Lucas? ELIAS: Ah! But you have not offered to me your impression as to your orientation! (Laughing) AXEL: For Lucas? ELIAS: First, to yourself. What is your impression of your individual orientation? AXEL: Oh, sorry. My orientation, soft. ELIAS: You are correct. As to the identification of this other individual, essence family, Sumari; alignment, also Ilda; orientation, common. AXEL: Thank you very much. ELIAS: You are quite welcome. AXEL: I said before that I’m not very much interested in other focuses, but I realize this deep connectedness with Lucas ... the reason for that being other focuses we share together? ELIAS: Partially. You do engage in other focuses together, and you also have created different expressions of relationships with each other within these other focuses. I shall express to you also that within this focus, you share, so to speak, an expression of your alignments, and allow yourselves once again to be creating a recognition of interconnectedness, so to speak, and in some expressions, intimacy. AXEL: Intimacy – indeed! Okay, there’s another thing on my list. I used one of your exercises, the one which is about merging with the bed upon which you lie or something similar, to get rid of my asthma. It seemed to me it worked extremely well. Do you have a little exercise for my eyes that keep on itching because of the allergy? ELIAS: Let me express to you, you may be incorporating a recognition of your energy within the moment that you experience this physical irritation that you attribute to an allergy. In this, within the moment that you are experiencing this irritation, allow yourself to focus your attention upon what is occurring in that moment in your creation, for this is significant in relation to your creation of this irritation. Each time you create that expression of irritation, you are creating a physical exhibition outwardly in reflection of aspects of irritation that you are experiencing in your action in the moment. Now; this may be expressed in relation to your physical surrounding or environment that within the moment you experience an uncomfortableness with. At times, it is expressed in relation to a particular movement or interaction that you are engaging within, and at times – and this may be significant – you create this action physically as you are expressing an irritation, so to speak, within yourself in relation to your ability, your expressions, and your acceptance of yourself, in that you may be creating some expression “better.” This is.... AXEL: Oh, better! ELIAS: This is a key point in your individual expression of this irritation of your eyes with your allergy, so to speak. In the moments that you are expressing inwardly and not paying attention, that you are experiencing irritation or frustration within yourself for you view yourself to be not creating adequately enough and that you may be creating better, you automatically express this irritation within your eyes. AXEL: I understand. This would help me to find some relief from this long-lasting irritation or symptom. ELIAS: Incorporate an intentional relaxation of your energy in the moment, for this creates an allowance and it also shall automatically be affecting of your attention, which shall distract your attention from the expression of judgment upon yourself, and this shall be affecting of the physical irritation. AXEL: I understand. Elias, we have five minutes left. May I offer you a wild card? ELIAS: Ha ha ha! Proceed! AXEL: I mean a wild card. I don’t know if I’m using the right term, but whether you wish to fill the last five minutes with any topic of your choice. ELIAS: (Laughing) I shall challenge you, my friend, to be incorporating in your experiences, from this moment [on], more of an expression of playfulness and fun! Allow yourself to be turning your perception through the incorporation of fun, and I may suggest to you, my friend, that this may be quite affecting in the movement that you may be incorporating in relation to what we have been discussing this day, with yourself and with respect to your wants in the creation of relationships. In this, I may express to you, my friend, at times you incorporate entirely too much seriousness! Ha ha ha ha! Allow yourself more of an expression of playfulness and fun in the challenge of what you present to yourself. You have offered yourself a clear and accurate command of understanding of these concepts and of your reality and what you are creating. Now allow yourself the freedom to be expressing that understanding in playfulness, recognizing that you have chosen to be manifest in this physical dimension to be playing the game, to be experiencing and exploring and becoming. And in this, you engage in an enormous game which may be perceived in fun and the recognition that you are a fellow traveler within this focus of attention with many, many, many other travelers, and you all are allowing yourselves to experience this wondrous game of this physical manifestation. Ha ha ha! AXEL: (Laughing) Fantastic! Elias, thank you very, very much indeed. ELIAS: You are quite welcome, my friend. I offer to you my expression of great encouragement, and I shall incorporate an expression of energy to you in encouragement of that playfulness, that you may objectively experience a playfulness of my energy. Ha ha ha ha ha! AXEL: (Laughing) Okay, let’s play! ELIAS: This shall be reminding of you to be incorporating fun! Ha ha! I anticipate our interaction, our playfulness, and our next meeting, my friend, and offer to you a hearty expression of great affection. To you this evening, au revoir. AXEL: Thank you very much, Elias. I thank you very much, and I’ll talk to you another time. And I will do my homework – play and have fun! Elias departs at 2:53 PM.
