“Trust Your Communications”

“Identifying When You Are Holding Your Attention Outside of Self”

Participants: Mary (Michael), David (Othello), Jenny (Emilio), and Ben (Albert).

Elias arrives at 2:51 PM. (Arrival time is 39 seconds.)

ELIAS: Good afternoon! Welcome.

JENNY: Thank you.

ELIAS: What shall we be discussing this day?

JENNY: You talk to him! (Elias chuckles)

DAVID: Any suggestions?

ELIAS: (Chuckling) It is your forum, my friend; you may proceed in whichever manner you choose.

DAVID: I guess I’m a little nervous. (Laughs) What’s my essence name? What family?

ELIAS: Very well. Essence name, Othello, O-T-H-E-L-L-O (OTH ell oh); essence family, Tumold; alignment, Sumari. Are you wishing for orientation?

DAVID: What’s that, orientation? Yeah!

ELIAS: Common.

JENNY: Common?

ELIAS: Correct. (To Jenny) And are you wishing for the same information?

JENNY: Yes.

ELIAS: Essence name, Emilio, E-M-I-L-I-O (AH me lee oh); essence family, Sumari; alignment, Zuli; orientation, soft.

JENNY: Soft? And what does this all mean? I mean, is this for me to know who I am?

ELIAS: It may offer you information concerning your manifestation in this focus. I may express to you, you are belonging to one family within essence, but in each focus of attention of essence, each manifestation, you may be aligned with a different essence family, offering you diversity within your experiences.

You also alter your orientation within different focuses. You hold to the same orientation throughout the duration of one manifestation, but in different manifestations you alter your orientation to offer you also a diversity of experiences. Your orientation is affecting of your perception: how you view yourself and how you view your world, how you interpret information, how you respond to information and events, how you interact with other individuals. It is quite affecting of your perceptions.

In this, as I have stated previously, there are three orientations associated with this particular physical dimension: one of soft, one of common, one of intermediate. These I have termed all sexual orientations. They are NOT concerning what you define as sexuality; they do not define sexual preferences. They are associated with the base element – one of the base elements – of your physical dimension which is sexuality, the other being emotion. These both are the base elements of this particular physical reality.

And in this, your orientation is a manifestation, or a lens, in which you view all of your physical reality and how you interact with it and how you interpret your physical reality; allowing yourselves to view this physical dimension and reality in a variety of manners, you have chosen to create three types of orientations.

In this, each of you engages a different orientation. Therefore, you shall notice in your interactions that your perceptions may be different from each other in many expressions. This is not to say that you may not be offering yourselves interpretations of each other’s perceptions. But in a manner of speaking, as I have stated previously, each orientation creates – in a manner of speaking, as I have stated – its own language. Therefore, one individual may be one orientation speaking one language, and the other, being another orientation, shall be speaking another language of your perceptions.

But as you allow yourselves an understanding of orientations and the differences in the languages, you also allow yourselves to learn, in your terms, the interpretations of these different languages, and you may become bi- or tri-lingual, in a manner of speaking. (Chuckles)

JENNY: Can you tell me more about Sumari or my alignment? What is that? What’s that mean?

ELIAS: As I have stated, the alignment is the choice of the individual focus of attention. You in this present now are a manifestation of essence. This particular physical manifestation is a focus of attention. There are many, many, many focuses of attention of an essence. In this, each focus of attention chooses which family it shall align with.

Now; in belonging to one family as the entirety of essence, this creates an underlying expression throughout your focus, your manifestation. There shall be subtle qualities expressed in relation to the essence family that you are belonging to. The overt or obvious expressions within your focus and what appears to be, in your terms, the driving experiences shall be in association with the essence family that you align with.

Now; as to the identifications of these essence families, you may be inquiring of Michael, subsequent to this conversation that we engage, and he may offer you the identification of these essence families and their qualities.

JENNY: Do I know that?

ELIAS: It shall be offered to you. You shall recognize your qualities in availing yourself of this description of these essence families. Albert, you may be offering assistance also in this expression of information. (Looking at Jenny and smiling) Continue!

JENNY: How long do we know each other, me and David?

ELIAS: In inquiring of the focuses that you share together in this physical dimension, I may express to you, you engage in different capacities of relationships with each other in 15 other focuses beside this present focus of attention. You also engage another 31 that you participate in the same focuses, the same time frameworks and locations, but do not necessarily engage in intimate relationships with each other.

JENNY: And why did I choose to be in an intimate relationship now?

ELIAS: And what is your impression as to why you have chosen this?

JENNY: (Laughing) I think I wanted to experience true love. I wanted to experience honest love, like the very close understanding of who I am with him.

ELIAS: Express to myself, what is your identification of “true and honest”?

JENNY: Just allowing myself to be my essence, to show my true nature, my rhythm, to allow myself to follow my rhythm, and to feel comfortable with that without comparing myself to other rhythms ... you know?

ELIAS: I am quite understanding of what you are expressing.

JENNY: Because I think I’m understanding that right now. I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and it’s okay to have my rhythm. It’s okay to be me. You know what I mean? I used to think that it wasn’t...

ELIAS: You are quite correct.

JENNY: ...that I was too slow, too this, too that. But it’s just who I am.

ELIAS: I shall be greatly acknowledging of you that you are offering yourself this information, and that you are engaging this relationship with yourself and allowing yourself thusly the openness to other individuals to be sharing your journey with them in a fuller expression of acceptance and understanding – which originates within you. My acknowledgment to you.

(To David) And what is your identification of your relationship?

DAVID: Well, I like that I could create my reality. I see her as my projection, I guess, and that I could share something very amazing. But it’s sort of like with myself, because it’s where I am with myself when I am with her. She’ll change every time I change. (Laughs)

ELIAS: This also is quite perceptive. For in actuality, you each are individuals, you each are manifestations of essence, but you are correct, what you interact with is your projection of your partner, and (to Jenny) what you interact with is your projection of your partner. In actuality, presently, where you place yourselves now and sit, there are four of you. There are each of you that is a focus of attention of your own essence, and each of you creates a projection through your individual perception of the other individual.

Now; what holds significance is that you allow yourselves to be focusing your attention upon yourselves, and therefore you open a channel, or an avenue, to be receiving the energy projection directly from the other individual, which allows you to project your image of the other individual more clearly and with less distortion.

JENNY: I wanted to know how long ... the cyst that I have in my ovaries, do I still have that? What can I do about that?

ELIAS: Presently, with myself in this now, exact an exercise. Close your eyes. Now look deep within your physical form and view this manifestation yourself, and express to me your identification of its presence. (Pause)

JENNY: I want to think that I know the answer.

ELIAS: Ah! But you do.

JENNY: Yes, but I don’t trust myself...

ELIAS: AH!

JENNY: ...to think that the answer could be given to me so fast and so simple.

ELIAS: And it is. Therefore, speak it.

JENNY: Okay, I don’t feel like ... my image, what I see, I’m not happy with it. Do you understand?

ELIAS: Yes.

JENNY: So, that makes me feel ... it doesn’t make me feel good.

ELIAS: Very well. Now you may open your eyes.

Now; you have already allowed yourself to be examining your own physical manifestation. I may express to you, quite literally, you may trust your vision and your impressions, and they may be expressed within you immediately. You need no process; you need no time framework. You are familiar with your own communications, therefore you do not challenge yourself with difficulties of processes of interpretation. But you do DOUBT your own impressions and your own abilities.

Let me express to you my friend, you have manifest in this particular focus choosing the orientation of soft. This orientation of soft allows you a unique ability to be observing and interpreting your objective and subjective awarenesses simultaneously and equally in clarity. The other two orientations do not incorporate this action in this manner.

JENNY: Can you say that in a different way?

ELIAS: I shall offer the analogy that I have expressed previously: view yourself as a pond.

JENNY: What’s a pond?

DAVID: It’s like a lake, but a pond is smaller.

ELIAS: A small body of water. This particular pond is very shallow. The shallowness of this pond allows clear vision of the surface and of the bed.

In this, in viewing yourself as this pond, the surface is your objective awareness, that which you incorporate to interpret all that is physically expressed within your world: all that you see, all that you view, all that you engage through many of your communications to yourself.

Your subjective awareness is the bed of the pond. This aspect of your awareness to many individuals appears hidden or removed from them. In the choice of orientation of soft, the subjective is clearly viewed. It is shallow enough that the individual holds an objective awareness of all that is subjective. Your dream imagery is a subjective movement which is translated as you awake into objective terms. Your emotional expressions are subjective communications offered through a signal that is recognizable to your objective awareness.

Now; in this, as you hold this particular orientation, you also allow yourself the ability to interpret subjective action and movement quickly. Impulses, impressions, are subjective actions which are interpreted objectively. These may be easily identified within your focus. This also lends to your ease in allowing yourself to view the entirety of yourself. You may momentarily allow yourself to scan your physical form, so to speak, and identify quite quickly an energy which may be expressed out of balance.

Now; as to this particular identification of manifestation that you have inquired of, you have identified that you have created a disturbance in this particular location of your physical body form.

JENNY: Yes.

ELIAS: Now; let me express to you also, all that you create in manifestations in relation to your physical body consciousness is also a communication. It is directed by your subjective awareness, and your body consciousness complies and creates what it is directed to be creating. The inquiry is, “What is your communication? What are you communicating to yourself in this manifestation?”

Now; you have created an interesting manifestation, for you have affected a physical organ, so to speak, that functions in relation to reproduction.

Now; momentarily attempt to offer myself your impression as to what you have created.

JENNY: I think my fears, my ideas about me ... it is guilt that I feel. I always thought it was related to sex, to my ideas about sex. I would view my sexuality ... being with different partners and not doing the right thing or not following my instincts or maybe being with people or wanting to be with them, things like that. All that I relate to that, and also the two abortions that I had. I think to me it’s all that.

ELIAS: Quite. Therefore, your communication is the identification of the guilt. Let me express to you my friend, were there to be a waste of energy – which there is not, for no energy is wasted – but were there to be, guilt would be it.

JENNY: It’s also like I view myself ... like sometimes I really love this energy, and I just love it. I identify myself as this energy sometimes, as this essential energy and this powerful energy, but I could just refuse it so much with the same intensity as I love it.

ELIAS: Yes, and therefore you create this struggle, and within this struggle, you communicate to your physical body consciousness what you identify as a punishment.

JENNY: Yeah, that’s right.

ELIAS: For you are expressing to yourself that you are deserving of this. I may express to you, you are not.

JENNY: (Laughs) And I want to let it go.

ELIAS: Offer yourself permission.

JENNY: I know.

ELIAS: Yes, to appreciate the wondrousness of yourself.

JENNY: So is this related to how I view myself also?

ELIAS: Quite!

JENNY: This whole image is all the same.

ELIAS: Yes, and your assessment of your worth. You are more worthy than you shall physically allow yourself to view, for you are more glorious than you may comprehend within this physical dimension.

JENNY: And what should I do to get in touch with that? I mean, I’m already in touch with that but...

ELIAS: This is your allowance of yourself, creating an opportunity to become familiar with the avenues of communication that you engage, paying attention to yourself, and in listening to your communications that you offer to yourself, you also offer yourself choice. If you are not paying attention to your communications, you do not offer yourself choice, and you continue to reinforce what you have created.

JENNY: So it’s that simple? Because I feel my communication is just like ... because I think I need to go into meditation, I need to get into my inner self, to touch my inner self. But sometimes I get an idea that is so right with me, this communication, that sometimes I think, “Oh, it can’t be that.”

ELIAS: Let me express to you, you are fighting with yourself. It is unnecessary. It is quite simple.

JENNY: It’s like everything I think is, “Is this communication?” And I choose to go into some other thoughts because I don’t realize that everything I say and everything I do is it.

ELIAS: You do realize. You do not trust.

JENNY: Yes. I do not trust, and I do not do that.

ELIAS: And you may offer yourself permission to trust what you are expressing. Let me offer to you an exercise that may occupy yourself in alleviating your complication of the simplicity of your own movement.

In this exercise, you may engage the activity of visualizing your orange energy center. Your orange energy center is located in this area (indicating the area below the naval). As you view the spinning of this orange energy center, you may express to that energy permission to not express guilt.

JENNY: Yes.

ELIAS: Quite simply, and offer the acknowledgment to yourself that your message has been received. And in this exercise, you may allow yourself to be altering your manifestation.

JENNY: You want to say something? (To David)

DAVID: So, I’ve been a little confused actually lately. Just when my life, in terms of making money and stuff ... I mean, I love money but where I’m at ... I guess I’m a little confused. I want to be an actor; I guess it’s just being famous – I don’t know what it is – or the art of it or the acting and the mixture of the money and everything, but also I hold myself back from going there. I’m scared, I guess that’s what it really is, to really go into it, and I think I’ll fail. I mean, I create my reality. I should just focus on that, on the success.

ELIAS: Ah! And you express to yourself that your fear is an expression of failure. Shall I enlighten you, my friend? Your fear is not of failure. Your fear is of the torrents of success, what you view to be responsibility of success, the work, the maintenance of success, the stress of success, and what you view to be the strain.

You engage this relationship presently with each other. Within each of your perceptions, you value your relationship with yourselves and with each other. Within your beliefs, you express the threat of not holding that if you are creating successfulness.

DAVID: Oh, now I see it.

JENNY: I thought that too, sometimes.

DAVID: Because I thought about that the other day, actually. I said, “Well, I could focus on both, and create it equal.”

ELIAS: You may. It is not a question of what you hold to be ability to be creating, but what you believe, for your beliefs are influencing of your perception, and your perception creates your reality in its entirety, in every moment. Therefore, your beliefs are significant for they shall influence how you create your reality.

Your expectations are also quite influencing, and as you project your attention futurely and are not holding your attention within the now, creating expectations and anticipations concerning future...

DAVID: It will affect the now?

ELIAS: ...you are not watchful of what you create now. You turn your attention, not paying attention to what you are creating now, and in this, you begin creating the motion of your expectation.

You create in the now; you do not create past or future. There is no past or future. Therefore, as you hold your attention futurely, you are creating NOW the manifestations of those expectations. Therefore, it is quite significant that you allow yourself to be aware of your beliefs and what you are creating in this present now.

I am not expressing to you that you may not create fame and fortune and also the intimacy in relationship that you have created already. But if you are not paying attention to what your beliefs are expressing in influence now, you may create precisely what you wish not to be creating, and this creates the fear, and this creates the block.

DAVID: I guess also if I would just create it in the now. You know, what I want for now, that would take me where I want to go, which would be happiness if that’s where I am now. (Laughs)

ELIAS: Quite! What shall you seek out that you already do not possess?

DAVID: Yeah, that makes a lot of sense, actually.

ELIAS: And I may express to you my friend, as you allow yourself to be paying attention to self and in the now, and trusting your own abilities, you shall in ease create what you want.

DAVID: Yeah.

JENNY: I wanted to ask you something about my little brother, Al.

ELIAS: Very well.

JENNY: Can you say something about his heart condition?

ELIAS: What is the nature of your concern?

JENNY: I want to know if he has a problem right now. I want to know if he’s going to have a long life.

ELIAS: Ah! I may express to you, this is his choice.

JENNY: His choice ... and what’s his choice right now? Do you have any idea?

ELIAS: I shall express to you that you may listen to your intuition. But I may also express to you, you do not create any other individual’s reality. These are their choices, and there is no right and no wrong. Each individual creates their choices in alignment with their own value fulfillment. They are merely choices.

The most helpful expression you may offer in relation to another individual is to be paying attention to you, and therefore expressing genuine supportiveness and compassion in allowing yourself the identification of the similarities of you and the interconnectedness and the lack of separation which also eliminates judgment.

I am understanding of concern, for this is expressed quite automatically in alignment with your beliefs. But recognize that genuine compassion is an expression of acceptance, recognizing and knowing that there is no defectiveness in any choices.

The expression that many individuals within your physical dimension move into is a camouflage of compassion and desire to be helpful, and this camouflage in actuality is not helpful for it carries with it judgment that the other individual is not creating their reality efficiently or well enough.

JENNY: I know. How about ... I want to know about my acting. I know – I think I know – why I like acting so much. You want to know why? (Laughter)

ELIAS: Very well! Express to me the nature of your desire, for I am anticipating your expression! (Grinning)

JENNY: Oh my god! (Elias laughs) I think I like saying things more than listening now! You know what I mean? Now I want to tell you things. I don’t want you to tell me things.

ELIAS: Ah! Very well! Speak away, my friend!

JENNY: Well, I love acting because it gets me in touch with that softness, with that rhythm that I have. I’m able to express it freely, and to use my imagination and use that softness all the time, and it makes me feel so good because I give myself permission to be that, “that’s who I am,” you know? But I also get scared sometimes that I might not be able to express that softness when I want to or that something will block it, and so I start thinking, projecting, thinking that it’s going to be like that. So I want ... I don’t know! Now I’m asking you a question again! (Laughing)

ELIAS: Ah!

JENNY: Maybe I could give the answer; should I?

ELIAS: Very well. Offer the impression.

JENNY: I think it’s very simple. It’s like I had to get used to things being simple. You know what I mean? I had to get used to knowing that all the answers are offered to me right there without any mysterious way or anything; it’s just there.

ELIAS: Quite.

JENNY: And I just have to trust.

ELIAS: Yes.

JENNY: And how do I trust? Do I trust just by taking action?

ELIAS: Trust in paying attention to you and not distracting yourself with outside of you.

JENNY: And outside of me would be whatever’s not in the present?

ELIAS: And whatever is expressed by any other individual or circumstance or situation.

Let me express to you, this is not the identification that you shall exclude your world, for you shall not, or that you shall not objectively be interactive with other individuals in genuineness and be paying attention to your interactions with other individuals; but always being aware and paying attention to you in your interactions, recognizing that all that is presented to you outside of yourself is a reflection of you, (to David) as you have noticed. (David laughs)

Therefore, it is an offering of yourself to yourself, and there is no aspect of your reality that you need be fearful of. It is all an opportunity to view yourself more clearly and more fully and more intimately, and therefore allow yourself to express your energy more fully and explore your reality more extensively.

JENNY: And what is your essence? What is the name of your essence?

ELIAS: Elias.

JENNY: Elias? And what does that mean in my terms?

ELIAS: It is merely a tone. This is an essence which has been manifest within your physical dimension in what you term to be previous time frameworks. This essence no longer manifests within your physical dimension but occupies another area of consciousness, and is choosing to be responsive to you in speaking with you in this time framework of this shift in consciousness, for you have asked.

JENNY: And how is that, that consciousness where you are? Does it feel different than this one? In what way?

ELIAS: These are relative terms. Within your physical dimension, you incorporate emotion as a base element of the design of your physical manifestations. Within other areas of consciousness, these terms may not be translated in the same manner. Energy may be expressed differently. I focus energy through filters, through layers of consciousness, to be expressed objectively and physically in a manner which provides an objective interaction with you.

In this projection of energy, there is a recognition of the language that you incorporate in emotion and sexuality in this physical dimension. Therefore, I create a filtration of my energy that expresses in that manner. Therefore, you shall understand the communication.

DAVID: Elias, is there anything very important I should know that I’m not telling myself maybe or listening to, that you could tell me or give me some... (Elias chuckles)

ELIAS: I shall offer you one suggestion, my friend. You already offered yourself the identification of the significance of paying attention to the now, which may be challenging enough, but I shall offer you another challenge.

As you allow yourself to be paying attention to the now and practicing with that action, also allow yourself to identify, in the now, when you are not holding your attention with self and when your attention is held upon a situation or another individual. And I may express to you, in the beginnings of your practicing of this action you may identify to yourself quite definitely, each time you observe yourself creating thoughts or movements in the direction of offering advice to another individual without their request, or each time you may identify that you are attempting to fix an expression of another individual, you are surely holding your attention outside of yourself.

This shall be helpful to you in identifying when you are holding your attention outside of yourself or in interaction with other individuals. As you are paying attention to yourself, there is no motivation be expressing to the other individual how to be creating their reality or what to be creating within their reality. There is merely an expression of understanding.

DAVID: Yeah, I understand that, actually. Actually, when I first started realizing I create my reality, I noticed that I would focus so much on my friends or negative things that they would say about me, or how their life was so good, and then I started really experiencing things that didn’t make me happy. Then I changed that. That’s actually how I met Jenny. I said, “You know what? I’ll create exactly what I want in a relationship.”

ELIAS: Comparison is another avenue of holding your attention outside of self. Competition is another expression of holding your attention outside of self, for there is no element within your reality that you need be competing with.

I may also express to you, it is not merely other individuals but situations, circumstances; it may be creatures, objects. You do not merely create conflict with each other. You create conflict and struggle with many elements of your reality: concepts, ideas, ideals. Within you, there is harmony. Outside of you, in expressions in relation to you, you may create conflict; and all of these expressions may be traced, so to speak, to the simplicity of your own trust and acceptance of yourselves.

JENNY: Is there something that I need to know also? I want to ask the same question, but I might not be...

ELIAS: I may be encouraging of you individually not necessarily to be paying attention in the now or to yourself, but be trusting WHAT you are paying attention to. You are already expressing an attention of yourself within self. Allow yourself an acceptance of that and a trust, and not the frequent doubting.

JENNY: Okay. (Elias chuckles, and both laugh)

ELIAS: I am greatly encouraging of you both.

DAVID: It’s very interesting.

JENNY: I feel very pleased to be here with you. I feel very pleased of this exchange. It’s really loving. I just feel really good.

ELIAS: And I shall express joyfulness to you both also, and offer my affection to you each and continued encouragement to both of you individually as you continue in your adventure and your traveling.

JENNY: (Laughing) So, we’ll see you soon.

ELIAS: Very well, my friends. I shall anticipate our next meeting, and express to you each great lovingness. And you may pay attention, and I may be expressing my energy in playfulness with you in the interim.

JENNY: The interim? What’s that?

BEN: Before you meet again.

JENNY: Ah! (Laughing)

ELIAS: Yes. To you both this day, au revoir.

Elias departs at 3:51 PM.
