“Employment Imagery”


Participants: Mary (Michael) and Jeremy (Opan).

Elias arrives at 11:40 AM. (Arrival time is 25 seconds.)

ELIAS: Good morning!

JEREMY: Hello!

ELIAS: Ha ha ha! We meet again!

JEREMY: Yes, finally.

ELIAS: And how shall we proceed?

JEREMY: Well, first, I’m going to ask about that probability with Steve in November that I apparently uncreated or altered probabilities in some way. My theory – moving into theories, playfully – is that, provided your answer was “probable probability” when Mikah asked my question “did I relax in my expression, my frustration?” and so by relaxing within it – I don’t mean relaxing and lessening, I mean I relaxed to the point where I allowed more – is that what altered the probability, or did I simply alter the probability for a more efficient exploration that I chose within my movement?

ELIAS: And express to myself, Opan, what is your assessment and your impression concerning your movement?

JEREMY: My impression concerning my movement?

ELIAS: Yes, and your choices. What are you noticing?

JEREMY: Well, for a while I thought that the job with Steve here at the company was one of my only choices. So I can see by not creating that as a crutch, so to speak, and moving outward into other expressions of employment, then I allow myself more choices.

ELIAS: Correct.

Now; shall you attempt to assess the movement of your choices? What are you noticing concerning your direction and your choices?

JEREMY: (Laughing) That’s a whole line of questioning that was going to come after this! I have no clue what I want to move into, directionally speaking, because of this neutralness I’ve been experiencing. But I’m also thinking the neutralness is because I’m not recognizing that I hold a choice in what beliefs to align with to create the motivation on my own, instead of allowing automatic responses to motivate me.

ELIAS: I am understanding, but this is not what I am inquiring of. For within your thought process you are translating the term “direction” in specific solidity concerning specific actions in relation to employment or particular engagements of activities, and what I am inquiring of you, in relation to your noticing, is your awareness of the direction of your movement within self in noticing your choices and how you create, not WHAT you create.

For in this, you have offered yourself an example. You have initially created a thought process concerning what you think you want, as you have previously in other experiences. But in this time framework you are offering yourself experiments and allowing yourself to pay more attention. Now the question is, what are you noticing in paying attention to your choices and your movement, and how does that define the direction that you are engaging within self concerning what you genuinely want, not what you think you want?

JEREMY: So, it has to go with wants and desires.

ELIAS: Correct, and translating the desire into an objective want and paying attention to what you are choosing, which moves in alignment with the desire.

JEREMY: Well, investigating that, my new job at Sign-O-Rama I feel is more conducive within my explorations than my movement, if that’s what you’re meaning as far as direction goes. I can see where that’s more reflective of my own inner movement than what I would be doing working here with Steve.

ELIAS: Very well, and do you view more of an ease?

JEREMY: I can say there’s more of a free-flow in actually going through the process from conceptualization all the way to the application or the insertion of what we created at that employment. I can see there’s more an ease in that process.

ELIAS: And do you view the process of translating movement that you are generating inwardly into objective imagery? (1)

JEREMY: For the most part, in my new employment the objective reflection is that I’m learning to begin with a concept, begin to create the concept, and then apply it and insert it.

ELIAS: And what does this express to you concerning how you create your reality individually? (Pause)

JEREMY: That I can, and that I hold choices, and that I’m creating the design of what I’m creating?

ELIAS: Yes.

JEREMY: Because at my new job, one of the interesting imageries is that I pretty much have to work in the moment. Because they don’t have a specific position for me, based on the moment they stick me in different areas or whatever. But of course, as we all know, it’s not an area per se – I just use that term for convenience – it’s me. One of the things in that is they have me doing a lot of different department work, in which case I go from designing the signs on the computer and then at other times working on the creation of the signs, the physical parts of them, and then sometimes I help install the signs.

ELIAS: Correct.

Now; in viewing this objective imagery that you are creating, what are you presenting to yourself in that imagery concerning your choices and how you create your reality, the method that you engage and the mechanisms that you involve within your process to be generating what you want? Do you view this? (Pause)

JEREMY: I’m not sure.

ELIAS: View what you have expressed to myself in this discussion of what you are creating within this action of your employment. You express to me that you move within different departments, so to speak, and you generate different actions within each of those departments. In that, you are creating objective imagery to be reflective of what you are generating within self, examining different expressions and creating different actions to explore how you may incorporate these different actions together to create a specific movement.

But in this, as you are experimenting and you are exploring, you are not actually generating what you have previously generated. For previously within our discussions, and within your movement and your beliefs and your expression of your beliefs, you created a thought process and what you assessed as a goal, and thusly directed yourself through holding your attention upon thought and attempting to generate a reality through the concentration upon thought and incorporating action to follow the thought process. Are you understanding?

JEREMY: Correct.

ELIAS: Setting your sights, so to speak, upon an action or a position that you think you want, and not paying attention to what you are actually choosing and generating in your own movement and within your actions and your physical manifestations, but holding your sights upon future expressions that you think you want.

Now you allow yourself to experiment with a different action, holding your attention within the now and exploring different actions, which offers you information: how you, in a manner of speaking, piece actions together in the now and the choices that you generate in the now that create an expression of satisfaction and outcome NOW, not futurely.

JEREMY: So is that part of this neutralness I’ve been feeling, too? In conjunction with that movement – because that’s the same movement we’re discussing – with that movement, outside the terms of employment, in general I’ve been expressing this neutralness, where I’ve completed another circle. In that, I feel that there’s three main circles that also completed, not just the one itself but also this series of circles dealing with similar issues and similar issues of my own, and I feel that I’ve neutralized a portion of my beliefs while moving through those.

Now I’m feeling this neutralness because I want to move forward and not recreate the same circles, which I know that I’m not because it’s like a desire thing, not a want thing, and it’s just a feeling of the stuff. But there’s this neutralness. Is the neutralness because I’m focusing more in the moment and allowing my choices in the moment instead of projecting back and forth?

ELIAS: Yes! Now allow yourself to move your attention more so to your choices, and pay attention to your emotional communications that you generate to your objective awareness in association with your choices, and allow yourself to recognize the moments in which your thoughts are in harmony with the other two aspects of yourself and when they are not.

JEREMY: The other two aspects, are you referring to emotional, the choices...

ELIAS: Yes.

JEREMY: ...and the thoughts? Okay, from a larger framework I can start playing with today, then.

ELIAS: Now; express to myself the identification of what you view as the most concerning issues.

JEREMY: Presently I would say fear.

ELIAS: In what expression?

JEREMY: Fear in the choices that I make.

ELIAS: And what are you generating fear in relation to, with respect to your choices?

JEREMY: A fear of what I actually can do, a fear of myself, a fear of Opan. (Laughing)

ELIAS: Of your potential.

JEREMY: Exactly.

ELIAS: Not of your lack of ability, but OF your ability.

JEREMY: Correct. I did recognize the imagery, when people keep saying how brilliant I am and how talented I am and all this other stuff. Even this guy, the insurance guy of all people, down the street – and I’m just meaning “of all people” being insurance, not the guy himself – but he said that I’m wasting my talents here with Steve. I knew I was drawing myself to the imagery, as I have been most of my life, because it points out that potential and brings it to my attention, but I’m kind of scared to move into it. (Laughs)

ELIAS: Correct!

Now; I may express to you, these types of statements are a recognition of your potential but they are also incorrect, for you are not wasting your energy or your talents in whatever you choose to be engaging within the moment, for within the moment you are allowing yourself a comfort and a reinforcement in validation of your abilities, and...

JEREMY: I do understand that. I don’t really share that perception, myself.

ELIAS: I am understanding.

JEREMY: It’s just kind of surprising that he just said it in those terms.

ELIAS: I am understanding. In this, I am encouraging of you to be paying attention to self, for as you move yourself into steps of choices, allowing yourself to express your abilities more and more, you also may allow yourself to recognize, in a manner of speaking, the twinges that you experience that are those pangs of fear, for they are expressed in relation to the beliefs concerning outward expression and becoming arrogant in confidence. But arrogance in an expression of knowing of your ability shall not be perceived by other individuals in what you view as a negative manner.

JEREMY: Is that also why the quality of my dreams has changed lately, because of my perception altering to move more into the actualization of this potential that I am fearful of?

ELIAS: Yes.

JEREMY: I noticed not only the quality but a lot of the expressions of my dreams have changed. Like for example, I was struggling with a particular issue a couple of months ago which I believe was victimhood and duplicity, which I imaged as Steve, battling him in a dream, which was representative of the struggle I was going through. Not only with him, but with other individuals in my dreams I was able to tap into abilities that I held. In this case it was combat, of course, and I would be able to use them very fluently, proficiently, without even a second thought. Is that also reinforcing of my potential?

ELIAS: Yes.

JEREMY: I’ve also created ... like Denise, my new girlfriend, Lorial, she likes gambling, so I got her these two scratch-offs and I thought I would make ... I’m not creating her reality for her, I’m not suggesting that, but within my reality, within the imagery to myself and my experimentation or my manipulation of my abilities, I was hoping to create her winning money in the scratch-offs. I even had a mental projection, which I guess this is where you were talking about finding where the thoughts, the emotion and the choices are in alignment, because my thoughts were of her winning between ten to twenty dollars. Of course, my desire wasn’t for her to win the stuff, my desire was to express to myself my potential and the fact that I could actualize that potential and present myself with how I may be responding to actualizing my potential to play with that and see how it feels. She actually did, she won $25 in that scratch-off. So, that also would be a reinforcement of these abilities and my movement through the fear of my potential.

ELIAS: Correct, for I am acknowledging of you in your realization that you do not create another individual’s reality, but you do create the reality of the other individual through your perception. Therefore, what you create in actual physical manifestation is a projection of your perception.

JEREMY: Correct, so my question is, I hold the impression – just briefly and kinda off the subject, but related, too – did she insert that into her reality also, as like a shared experience?

ELIAS: In a manner of speaking, yes. This is an action that individuals within your physical dimension engage continuously.

JEREMY: I wasn’t sure to what degree she inserted the similar event or the replicated similar event.

ELIAS: And this is what I am expressing to you. Quite constantly you all exchange energy, and in this exchange of energy you may create slight differences within your objective expression of imagery. But the imagery is quite similar, to the point that it is ALMOST identical – not quite, but almost.

JEREMY: So the intent within our relationship, would we be working in several departments within that intent, the joint endeavor?

ELIAS: Clarify.

JEREMY: Like, for example, the intent within our relationship – are there several different expressions of that intent within this relationship we engage together and what we benefit from individually?

ELIAS: Yes.

JEREMY: So would one of those be from her to me, that I benefit in this relationship in a reinforcement of my movement within my choices and my appreciation of myself? And for her, does she draw herself to me within what she translates as a type of strength within the experience?

ELIAS: To offer a reinforcement in acceptance and trust of self, yes.

JEREMY: Neo-pan, was that a tone of my essence, an alteration of tone, or would that be simply imagery of myself within my movement?

ELIAS: Fluctuation of energy.

JEREMY: Okay, cool. Would that have to do with a mergence, or just a fluctuation?

ELIAS: Not in conjunction with a mergence.

JEREMY: Have I fragmented lately?

ELIAS: This is an action that is occurring continuously in essence, within all essences.

JEREMY: Would that fragment be translated with a naming? Would the tone be Pan?

ELIAS: Of one fragmentation?

JEREMY: Okay, would ... okay. At work I have adopted the name Nathan. Is this in conjunction with my movement, my fear of potential, an association with another what we call fictional character who expresses his potential and is fearful of that because of what he may do? Is that in association with that?

ELIAS: Within your creativity, yes.

JEREMY: Am I a focus of Peter the Apostle?

ELIAS: No, but I may express to you that within physical focus you do incorporate a focus within that time framework which is known to that individual.

JEREMY: I knew I had a connection to him in some way, but I wasn’t quite sure to what extent.

Am I a focus of Jewel? (Pause) You know what I mean by that? I worded it funny, but you know what I mean by that.

ELIAS: No.

JEREMY: Do we share counterpart action, then?

ELIAS: Yes.

JEREMY: In like manner, am I counterparts with the lead singer of “Live,” Edward Kowalczyk?

ELIAS: Temporarily.

JEREMY: Bleed-through deities – am I simply exploring more depths of my creativity in my movement when I create that project and move forward with that project, or am I tapping into something different? I don’t mean something outside of myself, I just mean a different area of myself that I’m not accustomed to, because the whole feel of it’s different.

ELIAS: Allowing yourself to explore different aspects of your energy, yes, that are unfamiliar to you.

JEREMY: Oh! I’m making a connection now. So it’s kind of like different departments, because the different characters have their own different abilities that they allow themselves to express, but the way I worked the story and the characters’ interactions they also can use their abilities in conjunction with each other.

ELIAS: Correct. Very good! Ha ha!

JEREMY: I think I’m getting very good at this! (Both laugh)

Lorial, in this focus of Denise, is she common oriented?

ELIAS: Yes, common orientation.

JEREMY: Is she emotionally focused?

ELIAS: Yes.

JEREMY: And is her mother thought focused?

ELIAS: Political.

JEREMY: Political? Interesting! Very interesting. The imagery that I create with her mother being clingy to her is sometimes, not recently but previously at times, obstructing my movement with Denise. Would I be creating that in my reality as a reflection of me wanting to cling to the familiar a couple of months ago, kind of scared to move into the actualization of more of my choices of my potential?

ELIAS: Yes.

JEREMY: I think I’m getting pretty good at this! (Laughing)

ELIAS: And in relation to the fear of expressing your abilities, not merely within the area of your employment, but within all of your creative expressions.

JEREMY: Oh yes, very, very much so. Would my fear – just briefly, I don’t have that much time left objectively – would my fear be a tool I’m using so that I don’t overwhelm and confuse myself and in the confusion create a variant understanding, not like an actual understanding but in the confusion I won’t understand what I’m creating until I create the fear to pace myself?

ELIAS: Yes.

JEREMY: In the judgment I create, neutrally speaking, the judgment I create is a communication of the areas I am fearful of? Because that was one of my camouflages, the fear.

ELIAS: Correct.

JEREMY: And it’s not to neutralize the fear itself but my issues that I associate with the fear.

ELIAS: Correct. Not necessarily to be neutralizing even of the issues, but to be recognizing and therefore offering yourself choice, and in that expressing freedom.

JEREMY: That’s part of my individual definition of neutralization, I guess. Because when you’re neutral, there’s no good or wrong or positive or negative. It’s simply a noticing and then a choice to align with that particular belief or not to, and then move to whatever else.

ELIAS: I am understanding, although within the expression of duplicity, and recognizing that this also is a belief system and shall not be eliminated, you may be continuing to express an association in relation to preference which you define as good or bad but it matters not, and therefore there is an allowance for choice and the expression of freedom. For the recognition that you express preference or a lack of preference and you define that as good or bad is acknowledged, but there is also an expression of “it matters not.”

JEREMY: So in that, one final ... well, I’ve got two final questions. One’s more whatever than the other. Within my relationship with Lorial, is one of the avenues I’m exploring and investigating translations, and not merely translations for translation’s sake but accepting her belief systems – well, noticing – and at times addressing to within my own issues what she’s projecting, and my receptiveness within how I’m creating my reality? But also would that be to notice and accept her belief systems, and then for the sake of the communication between the two of us, translate to her terms, realizing it matters not what terms I use or what the belief is, but the action itself and the experience?

ELIAS: You are not accepting her beliefs. These are being reflected to you, to recognize that these are expressions that YOU incorporate.

JEREMY: I’m recognizing that, because everything’s a reflection of us...

ELIAS: Correct! And therefore allowing yourself to be accepting of YOUR beliefs.

JEREMY: The number of focuses we share, is it 23? (Pause)

ELIAS: Twenty-one.

JEREMY: That’s it my friend...

ELIAS: Very well.

JEREMY: ...although I feel we can start interacting again and creating more agreements! (Laughs)

ELIAS: Very well! And we shall continue to be interactive and playful, and I shall continue to be encouraging of you, my friend, for you do incorporate a tremendous movement in widening your awareness and...

JEREMY: I’m going to be the first individual to accept a belief system! (Elias laughs) There are other individuals lending me energy who do not choose to express that within their desires!

ELIAS: Ha ha ha! Very well!

JEREMY: It may be a justification, but it’s still what I’m going on!

ELIAS: Very well. I shall be encouraging of your adventure and your motivation. Ha ha!

JEREMY: Or at times, lack thereof!

ELIAS: Ha ha ha! Very well, my friend, as always I offer to you great affection and acknowledgment. I anticipate our next meeting. To you this morning, au revoir.

Elias departs at 12:15 PM.
