Participants: Mary (Michael) and Jean-Baptiste/Jib (Araili)
(Elias’ arrival time is 14 seconds.)
ELIAS: Good evening.
JIB: Good evening, Elias. How are you?
ELIAS: As always, and yourself?
JIB: As always. (Elias laughs) I feel very good.
ELIAS: And what shall we discuss?
JIB: I’ve prepared some questions, but I want to begin with essence family, essence name, and stuff like that. Okay?
ELIAS: Very well. And your impression as to essence families?
JIB: Actually, I had a dream, several weeks ago, where I saw my essence name. Also, it was said in my dream, and it began with a capital “A,” and the word was Alanis (allan EES). But the end of the word was blurred, and I don’t know if it’s the real word.
ELIAS: In actuality, this is a focus name.
JIB: Okay. And the essence name is?
ELIAS: Essence name: Araili, A-R-A-I-L-I (uh RAY lee).
JIB: I repeat: A-R-A-I-O-I.
ELIAS: L-I.
JIB: “O,” like “orange”?
ELIAS: No, “L,” like “letter.”
JIB: Okay. Araili.
ELIAS: Araili.
JIB: Thanks. Is my essence family Tumold?
ELIAS: Yes. And your impression as to alignment?
JIB: I thought it’s Ilda, but I’m not sure.
ELIAS: Yes, you are correct.
JIB: Okay. Orientation is soft?
ELIAS: Correct.
JIB: Type of focus, is it political?
ELIAS: Yes.
JIB: Okay. As for the number of focuses, I had an impression of 824.
ELIAS: Correct.
JIB: Oh, great. My sister, Marguerite, has an impression about her essence name that she would venture. She thought it is Metra, M-E-T-R-A.
ELIAS: Correct.
JIB: Correct? Great. And is her family...is she belonging to Vold?
ELIAS: Yes.
JIB: And her alignment is Tumold?
ELIAS: Correct.
JIB: Is her orientation common?
ELIAS: Yes.
JIB: The type of her focus, is it emotional?
ELIAS: Yes.
JIB: But she didn’t give me any impression about the number of focuses.
ELIAS: Numbering of focuses in this physical reality: 904.
JIB: 104?
ELIAS: 904.
JIB: 904. Okay. I want to ask the essence name of one of my other sisters, Delphine.
ELIAS: Tapasi, T-A-P-A-S-I (tuh PA see).
JIB: Okay, and for family alignment and belonging, I have no idea.
ELIAS: Shall you venture an impression?
JIB: Is she Zuli for belonging?
ELIAS: Alignment.
JIB: Alignment, okay. And for belonging, I don’t know. I think Vold but...
ELIAS: Sumari.
JIB: What?
ELIAS: Sumari.
JIB: Tumari?
ELIAS: Sumari.
JIB: Sumari. Okay. And her orientation, I think it’s common, like my other sister.
ELIAS: Yes, you are correct.
JIB: And her type of focus, I think it’s more like thought focus.
ELIAS: Political.
JIB: Political, okay, like me. My other sister, Veronique, I want to know her essence name.
ELIAS: Mamuni, M-A-M-U-N-I (ma MOO nee).
JIB: Great! I love this one. (Elias chuckles) For family belonging, I think it’s Sumari, like Delphine.
ELIAS: Yes.
JIB: And alignment, maybe Milumet.
ELIAS: Correct.
JIB: Great. Orientation, I think it’s common, but I’m not sure.
ELIAS: Yes.
JIB: And she’s emotional focus?
ELIAS: Correct.
JIB: I want to know the essence name for my boyfriend, who is a mystery for me, and I haven’t any impression about him. I don’t know why.
ELIAS: (Chuckles) Essence name: Claudio, C-L-A-U-D-I-O (CLAU dee oh).
JIB: I love it! (Both laugh) And his family belonging, I think it’s...I don’t know.
ELIAS: Offer an impression.
JIB: Impression. (Pause) It’s like I don’t want to have an impression about him. It’s very weird.
ELIAS: (Chuckles) What are you...
JIB: Ilda, or...but I know it’s not that. I don’t know.
ELIAS: That would be the alignment.
JIB: Ilda?
ELIAS: Yes.
JIB: Okay.
ELIAS: And what are you presenting to yourself?
JIB: On belonging...it’s like I don’t remember any family names. Maybe, maybe it’s Vold.
ELIAS: Borledim.
JIB: Borledim, okay. Orientation, I think is common.
ELIAS: Correct.
JIB: And his type of focus is thought focus.
ELIAS: Correct.
JIB: Great. And for my parents now: my mother, what is her essence name?
ELIAS: Essence name: Octavia, O-C-T-A-V-I-A (oc TA ve ah).
JIB: Great. And my father?
ELIAS: Essence name: Dax, D-A-X.
JIB: Great. For my mother, maybe family is Milumet, family belonging?
ELIAS: Correct.
JIB: And alignment, Sumari?
ELIAS: Vold.
JIB: Vold. That’s weird. I’ll talk with her. (Elias chuckles) And for my father, he’s more like Sumafi for belonging.
ELIAS: Correct.
JIB: And alignment, I don’t know, maybe Zuli.
ELIAS: Correct.
JIB: Great! For my father, orientation, I think it’s more like soft.
ELIAS: Correct.
JIB: And my mother is intermediate.
ELIAS: Correct.
JIB: My mother, I think she is emotionally-focused.
ELIAS: Correct.
JIB: And my father is a thought focus.
ELIAS: Correct.
JIB: Great! To speak about the change in my life, since I’ve been in Hungary in August, it’s been very weird. I felt many things which...and it was a change in my perception. Actually, I want to know if since birth, there was any change in my orientation? Or as...things like that.
ELIAS: No.
JIB: Yes?
ELIAS: No.
JIB: No. Okay. Is it a change in aspect of essence or...?
ELIAS: Yes. An alteration of primary aspects in you, in this focus.
JIB: Okay. What was the first primary aspect?
ELIAS: You.
JIB: (Laughs) Okay.
ELIAS: (Laughs) All of your aspects are you. They merely express different qualities.
JIB: Yes, that’s fair. (Both laugh)
So I want to ask you about one event that happened, or that I think happened when I was young. Actually, my mother told me it never happened, but I am sure that I have lived it. It was when I was very young. I pronounced the “F” like, maybe, the “S” in “Spanish” or...but it wasn’t like the French pronunciation. And it was labeled as not normal, and so I’m positive that my mother actually let me and that we went together to see what we call in France, “orthophoniste” (speech therapist) to correct my pronunciation. But I only remember having been there only once, and my mother told me that she’s positive we never went there. But, actually, after that, after that event, my pronunciation of the “F” changed, and I do it correctly. So is it an event that occurred physically, or is it just something that I created or a memory or something like that?
ELIAS: No, it is an event that actually occurred. In your reality, this event occurred. In her reality, it did not.
JIB: Okay.
ELIAS: You can generate differences in realities in which you are participating with another individual, but you may be participating with an energy deposit of the other individual that does not, necessarily, contain the individual’s attention. You are interacting with their energy, and, therefore, you are projecting the image of them, and you include them in participation with you in some situation or event, but the other individual may not, necessarily, incorporate a recall of that, for the attention was not present in the energy that you incorporated to participate with. Therefore, the other individual creates a different reality.
JIB: Okay.
ELIAS: Which both are equally valid.
JIB: Okay. Yes, I think so. But, actually, when we spoke about that, she got very, very upset, and it was like I was threatening her when I told her that we went to the orthophoniste, stuff like that. It was very weird, but I stopped telling her that because it wasn’t so important for me.
ELIAS: I am understanding. And this is understandable, for most individuals hold to their truths very strongly. Remember, a truth, within your reality, is merely a belief that has been set into absolute, and, in many situations in which individuals are sharing memory of different events that they view they have participated with, many times, an individual may become quite absolute and definite in what they are expressing as their memory, for their memory is real.
But it is also threatening to the individual, or somewhat irritating to the individual, if that is disputed by another individual. That threatens the validity of their perception, but it also triggers the absolute association with right and wrong, that they are right in what they are expressing, and there is no other explanation. Right is right and wrong is wrong.
JIB: Yes, I understand that. Several weeks ago, I discussed the concept of “You create your reality,” with a friend, and, actually, I spoke a lot. I was speaking and speaking and speaking, and I told him about my life before, and what I was used to doing when I was young, and, actually, I noticed something that I hadn’t clearly noticed until then.
I’ve been reading many, many books since I was fourteen, and these books were all about magic, religion, reincarnation, and so on. And I was, at that time, like a sponge, absorbing completely what was said in these books, one after another. And when I go from one book to another, I completely let go of the old belief that was spoken about in the book, to absorb the other—the other one, the new one. In fact, I think I was experimenting with some beliefs and aspects of this belief system. But I was also establishing them, at that time, as rules and “Truth is an absolute,” and it was very...I was creating many tensions in my body because it was opposing at times.
And, until recently, I’ve been still aligned with a strong belief, and I think I’m still aligned with it, that I must control myself, control my body and every aspect of what I’m doing and stuff like that. And though I’m more and more noticing what’s happening, what I’m doing, and what I feel and so on, it’s challenging to face this belief. It’s like it’s always escaping my attention or...can you give me a direction or something that I can look at to understand what’s happening?
ELIAS: I may express to you, my friend, to allow yourself permission to incorporate more flexibility, to allow yourself to recognize that you naturally incorporate an interest in different philosophies. You naturally express a fascination with different presentments of different ideas and different possibilities of different realities that can be expressed or different expressions and abilities that can be accomplished.
In this, it is not a matter of generating one, expressing that in absolute and moving to another and expressing conflict between the two, but recognizing that you can incorporate all of these philosophies, and that, in actuality, this is somewhat an aspect of your intent in this focus—to be exploring different ideas and to be incorporating them into one enormous mosaic that you place together. That you fit the pieces together yourself and configure them in a manner in which you can express different elements of all of these philosophies, and ideas, and abilities, and realities into one grandiose expression of your own mosaic in your own experience and your own expression in your focus.
JIB: But it’s like I feel threatened by allowing the incorporation of these beliefs and...
ELIAS: Beliefs are a base element of this reality. Every element of this reality, every expression, every association, every action that you incorporate is filtered through beliefs. They are not the enemy.
JIB: Yes, I feel like...
ELIAS: In this, you can...
JIB: ...in a way, I am more and more noticing that, but in a way, I’m still a step before the big jump or something like that.
ELIAS: I am understanding.
JIB: And it seems that there is something that’s holding me back, backward.
ELIAS: I am understanding. In this, if you allow yourself to experiment with a playful perception of beliefs recognizing that, in actuality, all of them matter not, for any belief that is expressed can be expressed in a beneficial manner.
Any belief can influence you to incorporate directions or methods that are merely an exploration of what you can do, what you can manipulate within your reality. Many times, individuals generate a negative association with beliefs, and in that association, they view them as influencing them in a negative manner. But, in actuality, whatever belief is influencing you in any moment is purposeful, for it is offering you the opportunity to expand your awareness, to be aware of what is being expressed, and to be helpful to you in more clearly identifying your preferences.
JIB: Yes, and preferences are beliefs that we are more familiar with?
ELIAS: Are beliefs that you prefer. Remember, all of your reality is filtered through beliefs. Therefore, your preferences are also beliefs, but they are beliefs that you prefer. They are beliefs that you incorporate a comfort with and...
JIB: Yes, and the beliefs we incorporate comfort with are the beliefs that we prefer.
ELIAS: Yes.
JIB: Okay. I have another question about some characters of a book that I began to write when I was young, and before I began to work. The names of these characters are George, Salome, Salomon—with actually the same character, but one is the female side and the other is the male side of the character—and the last one, I called him Eddie. And, actually, when I was writing that, I felt that they were—all three of them or all four of them—the same character or from the same essence or...I don’t know, really. And I felt that George is, in a way, a focus of mine because George was the name that a friend gave me when we were in school, and I called her Agatha, and it was like we knew each other since a long, long time. Are these names and these characters related to a focus of mine?
ELIAS: Yes.
JIB: Or are they another thing?
ELIAS: Yes, they are associated with other focuses of you, that you have translated those energies and created your own associations with them, and, therefore, generated these characters in the familiarity of those energies.
JIB: Okay.
ELIAS: Which has also provided you with an avenue to be expressing creatively a manner in which you can connect with other energies of yourself as essence.
JIB: Yes. Actually, George was always a little bit depressed. The character of Salome/Salomon was very knowing of things, and it was like she’s completely shifted. And the character of Eddie was, like, representing the old world before The Shift. He was like a librarian, but there was a kind of youngness in him. And I’m wondering if George was in the process of shifting, and that Salome/Salomon is a focus of mine that has already shifted?
ELIAS: Correct.
JIB: Is George a focus of me that is currently focused in this reality?
ELIAS: Slightly previous to you.
JIB: Slightly previous. Okay. Has he disengaged?
ELIAS: Yes.
JIB: Okay. One question about a dream that I did when I was very young—I dreamt that I was a kind of trapper, like Davy Crockett, but I was a very solitary man. I liked being alone and in the nature. And, actually, I was friends with wolves. It was like I can communicate telepathically with them, and I prefer their company to the company of humankind. But, at the same time, I was also working for a community that seemed to have access to a pre-technology. It was like we were trained to build something in the countryside, like bridges, or I don’t know. What was this dream related to?
ELIAS: In actuality, this is associated with another focus.
JIB: And the name of this focus was?
ELIAS: (Pause) Joseph.
JIB: Joseph. Okay.
ELIAS: This would be in the physical location that you identify now as Canada.
JIB: Canada. Okay. And the time framework was before now or after?
ELIAS: Prior, that would be within the time framework of late 1700s.
JIB: Eight...
ELIAS: Late.
JIB: 1700.
ELIAS: Late 1700.
JIB: Okay. That’s very interesting. Another dream that wasn’t related to a focus or even physical objects or things—actually, it was composed with colors or tones. I don’t know really. I think it was a translation. I can’t understand what I was doing in this dream. It was like I was moving things from one place to another, and I was happy or not happy, and I kept moving things, and I don’t know what it really was. It was like I was actually changing something in the reality, but I’m not sure where it was or what it was.
ELIAS: This is imagery that you have presented to yourself that is somewhat symbolic. In this imagery, what you are presenting to yourself is concerning rearranging, refocusing, and altering perception which changes reality and the action of engaging that, in which, you actually change your physical reality.
JIB: Okay. I was thinking that it was something like that. Was it you, some minutes ago, that was playing with the light?
ELIAS: (Laughs) That would be my energy. Merely offering an example of my actual presence. (Laughs)
JIB: Okay. I can feel the energy also. It’s like something that is superimposed upon myself.
ELIAS: Yes.
JIB: I have another dream that I...actually, it’s the kind of dream that I was doing, but it was like I was between waking reality and dream reality. I was opening my eyes in my dream, and I was seeing many, many spiders, and it was kind of frightening, but I wasn’t so frightened because I just closed my eyes, and it was like when my eyes would be closed they would be continuing their own stuff, and I wouldn’t be harmed in any kind of way or things like that. I was thinking that these spiders were related to my...it was an imagery of belief systems and how they can be related from one net or web to another web, etcetera.
ELIAS: Yes. You are correct. And also recognizing that it is a matter of perception and how you view them that shall influence you in a manner in which you may incorporate fear or you may incorporate curiosity.
JIB: Yes. I was very curious about that. Another dream that I did when I was in Hungary, I think, but I don’t remember if it was just previous to that travel. It was related to me in my dream, and there was a voice that said that the dogs or something was relieved from their chains or something like that, and that it was free to go to the world. But in my dream, it was a little bit threatening. It was like a threat. And when the voice said that thing, actually very, very...it was very, very fast. I was many, many people that time. I saw their faces just looking at my faces. It was like all my focuses were aware, in that moment, of what was happening.
ELIAS: I am understanding. This is imagery that you presented to yourself concerning power and the realization of your own power and the expression of it. And, initially, that may incorporate some apprehension or even some element of fear, for that would be associated with your expression of control and a doubt or a questioning of how to actually control your own power. And the imagery of the faces and the recognition of all of these faces as being other focuses of you and all of them being aware of you is an expression, in imagery, of the recognition of the lack of separation of all of the yous of you as essence—that although they are all individuals, they are also all you, and you are all of them.
And, in this, there is a supportiveness and a reinforcement of that power. In this, power is not an expression to fear. What incorporates the fear in association with power is the association with control. Once you allow yourself to recognize that control is not necessary, and that you, automatically, shall recognize and manipulate your own power in association with your own guidelines, that it shall not be expressed in a manner that is harmful or overwhelming.
JIB: Is my holding of this belief of control of my reality, of my power, is it related to the tension that I have in my back and that when I feel these tensions I feel like my body is just...
ELIAS: Controlling you. Or that it is controlling you rather (than) you controlling it.
JIB: Yes.
ELIAS: Yes, this is strongly associated with your associations with control.
JIB: I’ve begun, two weeks ago, some courses of Shiatsu—Japanese massage—and it was very releasing when we were practicing, and there was a kind of communion between all the people that were here. And during this weekend, I could feel that I can choose, actually, the way I accept the energy of other people—no, not the energy, but the belief expressed by other people—because there were many, many descriptions about how things must be in the Shiatsu or how things are in the expression of energy.
There was this exercise. It was a game where people were on their legs and their arms. They were aligned, and we had to go under their belly, to crawl under them, and it was like I released my energy, and I went under them very fast, and some of them were fearing that I could give them a punch with my foot or...and they told me that I was very aggressive, after the game. But, actually, when they told me that, it was like I could choose to project this feeling of being aggressive and being rejected by them, or I can choose that I have been aggressive, at that moment, or that they have perceived me being aggressive, and that it was just at that moment and that now I am expressing otherwise.
ELIAS: Yes.
JIB: And it was very releasing, very interesting.
ELIAS: I am understanding. And I am acknowledging of you in your noticing and your allowance of yourself. I may also offer a suggestion to you in association with your energy and your directions, an action that you may incorporate that may, actually, serve you in allowing you to release energy, but—and encouraging you to relax—but also not opposing your belief associated with control which may, eventually, allow you to recognize more concerning this control and how to relax that and incorporate more flexibility. In this, I may suggest to you, if you are so choosing, that you may perhaps incorporate engaging the action of Tai Chi.
JIB: Tai Chi. What’s that?
ELIAS: Tai Chi offers an Oriental method of movement also in slow movements and...
JIB: Tai Chi. Okay.
ELIAS: ...that allows you to not oppose your belief associated with control, but to expand your understanding, and, therefore, relax it and incorporate more flexibility.
JIB: I’ve been attracted by Tai Chi, and I wonder, many times, if I would engage this kind of exercise, of practice, and always I never choose to do that action.
ELIAS: (Laughs) Perhaps,...
JIB: (Laughs) I don’t know why.
ELIAS: ...perhaps, you may choose to be listening to your impressions and allowing yourself to incorporate action in association with those impressions. That would be my suggestion to you, for this particular type of action may be quite beneficial to you, in association with your energy, in allowing you a graceful balance in which you may also familiarize yourself with much more of a flexibility which shall also encourage you to incorporate more relaxation and generate more awareness of yourself in moments in which you are becoming rigid or incorporating tension, and that shall allow you an avenue to release energy which shall allow you to relax and incorporate more flexibility.
JIB: Okay. I follow my impressions on that. Is it related to a focus that I have in China?
ELIAS: You do incorporate a focus in China, and you can draw upon the energy of that focus to be supportive and encouraging to yourself, in this focus, in that practice, for that focus that you incorporate expresses this practice quite expertly.
JIB: Okay. I want to ask another question, a quick one. Am I a dispersed essence? Because I feel so familiar with everybody. I think, actually, that I’m a dispersed essence.
ELIAS: Yes.
JIB: Is it the case?
ELIAS: Yes.
JIB: Okay. Another quick question because it’s soon the time that I let you go. It is something about my perception of the energy when I’m meditating. I feel sometimes that...or there is a face that pops up in my mind, or it’s like I feel the energy of another person, or sometimes it’s people that I know, and sometimes it’s people that I don’t actually know. And I want to know if it’s my perception of their energy that they are participating, in this moment, or that I’m kind of close to her in this moment, or is it aspects of myself that I present to myself using the appearance of those people?
ELIAS: It is aspects of yourself that you incorporate the imagery of these individuals.
JIB: Okay.
ELIAS: You attach certain appearances and projections of different energies of yourself to allow yourself to become more connected and familiar with them. Many times, if an individual presents a physical expression to themselves, even within a visualization, it allows them to experience more of a connection rather than merely incorporating an idea.
JIB: Okay. Thank you. I have another question about...I don’t remember. (Elias laughs) Maybe about my sisters and I. I feel very, very, very close to them. It’s like we’ve known each other for a very, very long time. I was wondering if I share many, many focuses with them.
ELIAS: Yes, you do.
JIB: This feeling is more...is stronger than with my parents or other members of my family.
ELIAS: Yes.
JIB: And I have the same feeling with some of my friends, like my friend, Leo, or maybe a man that I met at the Shiatsu course whose name is Jean-Bernard. Actually, it was like I was allowing myself to be more open to the energy of another person, to feel myself very deep inside. It was very, very strange and a little bit frightening.
ELIAS: Allowing yourself more of an expression of exposure and allowing yourself to recognize familiarities in other energies and allowing yourself to be open to what you have drawn to yourself. That provides an excellent practice in expanding your awareness and allowing yourself that expression of openness and vulnerability which generates tremendous freedom, my friend.
JIB: Yes.
ELIAS: It is offering you the opportunity to generate that exposure, and, in that, it allows you the opportunity to more freely express yourself.
JIB: Yes. It was like I really had the choice to express myself. I appreciate that.
ELIAS: Yes.
JIB: Thank you for everything. It’s the time to let Mary come back.
ELIAS: Very well, my friend. I shall be anticipating our next meeting, and I shall be offering my energy to you in playfulness, to remind you to be incorporating more flexibility. (Chuckles)
JIB: Thank you.
ELIAS: I express great encouragement to you, my friend, and you may, also, offer my greetings to your partner. (Chuckles)
JIB: Okay, thank you very much.
ELIAS: To you, in great affection and appreciation, au revoir.
JIB: Au revoir.
(Elias departs after 57 minutes, 30 seconds.)
