Participants: Mary (Michael) and Ben (Sumarian)
ELIAS: Good afternoon!
BEN: Hey, Elias! Nice to be back.
ELIAS: (Laughs) And what shall we discuss now, my friend?
BEN: Oh, all kinds of things, all of them very, very interesting. I’m going to give you some impressions to see how well I’m doing. About my focus in Saudi Arabia called Abdullah, last week it occurred to me that he is a dowser of some sort. How good was that impression?
ELIAS: Yes! You are correct.
BEN: Now, I think he was dowsing for gemstones or precious stones, not necessarily for water. Right?
ELIAS: Correct.
BEN: And the amber-orange stone that he carried as a focal point, was that a stone that he found himself?
ELIAS: Yes.
BEN: And was he killed or something at a very young age, like at 25?
ELIAS: You are correct again. Yes.
BEN: That’s interesting.
We talked previously about this focus called Hans that works on a large riverboat, and my sister bought a secondhand glass that had a picture of a riverboat on it. And while I was searching it on Google I encountered the Kate Adams riverboat, which is a post office riverboat, and I think that he may have worked on that riverboat.
ELIAS: One moment. (Pause) Correct.
BEN: Okay. It’s interesting that these impressions are… If I don’t analyze them or doubt then they’re quite valid and they come very accurately. Right?
ELIAS: Yes. I would agree.
BEN: So, there’s no need to complicate it or to look for evidence that it is in fact what it is, because it’s true, it’s accurate.
ELIAS: Correct. Correct. I would say that this is an important point for most people, because in this, I would say that it isn’t difficult to be accurately giving yourselves information with your impressions if you don’t complicate it.
BEN: Right. And that’s usually about involving the thinking process in a place where it’s not necessary. The thinking process should only translate it into a shortened sentence or a name, and not do any other assessing or evaluating.
ELIAS: Correct.
BEN: Okay. Now I started a while ago a miniature car collection, something I did as a kid, and it’s really a lot of fun. And a few days after I put all the cars on a shelf, I added a really nice cactus. And one day when I was playing with the cars and looking at the cactus, I figured that I could have a focus in El Paso who may be either a car collector or a car dealer. Is that correct?
ELIAS: Yes, you are correct. Collector.
BEN: And is his name Freddy? Or Fred?
ELIAS: (Pause) Correct.
BEN: Oh! (Laughs) Okay. No surprises there. (Elias laughs) This is a concurrent focus, I would think. That’s what I felt.
ELIAS: Yes.
BEN: Okay. A few weeks ago I was driving, and three balloons popped up in front of me into the street for four or five seconds and then they vanished, and of course that’s significant for me to notice that. And the balloons were pink, black and blue, and I thought that perhaps this is some indication of the type of energy that I’m expressing or should be paying attention to at this time with my movement.
ELIAS: Correct. And I would also say that it also is symbolic of balance.
BEN: Balance because it’s three balloons, or balance because of these three colors?
ELIAS: Because of the three.
BEN: Okay. And the qualities that I imagined about black, blue and pink are the ones that I associate with the energy centers. It’s a combination of these qualities?
ELIAS: Yes.
BEN: Is there anything else about these colors?
ELIAS: I would say that you are correct. And I would say that in that, it is something to simply be paying attention to and noticing in your day.
BEN: How these qualities interact and express themselves? This is what you’re saying?
ELIAS: Yes.
BEN: So, just to be clear, the black is about inward expansion. Could I use that to incorporate objective awareness of subjective activity of other elements that are occurring of interconnectedness? Is that a good description for black?
ELIAS: Most definitely. Yes.
BEN: And pink is an empowering and healing energy center. We mentioned that a few sessions ago. So, that’s definitely helpful. And blue for me is about communication or connectedness also, right?
ELIAS: Yes.
BEN: So these are the key qualities that I’m focusing on at this time?
ELIAS: I would agree. And I would be very encouraging of you.
BEN: Wow, that’s interesting. It’s interesting that for me, all of these imageries speak very strongly because they’re just objects that appear seemingly coincidental, which they are not, and have an abstract meaning to them, and that’s a language that I figured that works really well for me.
ELIAS: I agree. And I would be tremendously acknowledging of you, my friend.
BEN: Well, that’s really nice.
Something about the body which does its share of communications, something about my knees: there’s some pain or uncomfortableness in both knees. Sometimes it’s one of them. I don’t think it’s a physical issue because my body’s very, very fit and functioning quite good. I figured it’s something with either friction or resistance in some aspects of my movement.
ELIAS: (Pause) Pay attention to when you actually experience that, and pay attention to what is happening around you and what you are being responsive to. I would agree you that it is about your movement and it is about friction, and I would say that you will give yourself significant clues by paying attention to what is happening around you when you experience that.
BEN: So, the only instances that I noticed is when I go up the stairs to my apartment or to work. And of course I’m paying attention to the fact that I’m climbing stairs, which is not necessarily what is going on around me, so that’s not exactly the direction that you’re hinting at?
ELIAS: Correct.
BEN: So it’s things that are going on not necessarily objectively, but subjectively as well?
ELIAS: Both.
BEN: Okay, and this would relate to what you talked with Nuno about, about becoming familiar with noticing the subjective actions along the objective imagery, practicing that?
ELIAS: Correct.
BEN: Okay, I’ll have to pay attention to that.
Something that happened on Friday which is really, really odd. Friday I was washing dishes, and I felt like I blinked in and out for a second and paid not too much attention to that. The rest of the evening was very relaxed, almost unusually calm, and at night my dreams were quite intense and quite violent, which woke me up several times.
One of the dreams had to do with the cat being involved in some altercation and screaming and falling, and the next day when I encountered the cat he was a total mess. He was not injured, and it was almost like he was beamed from another reality. He was a totally different cat, and he still hasn’t recuperated even though he’s more or less back to himself.
Now two questions about that: Was that a shifting of my primary aspect temporarily or permanently?
ELIAS: No.
BEN: And I wasn’t tapping into a probable reality at that moment?
ELIAS: I would say yes AND no. Yes, you were, but not entirely. You were tapping into partially a probable reality in which the cat was severely injured. And in that, I would say that the part that you were NOT tapping into a probable reality was about the cat not inserting that but moving in a direction in which it disturbed itself. It moved in a direction of averting being seriously affected or injured, but it also did scare itself.
BEN: But wait, I didn’t understand entirely. The cat averted in the probable reality? Or averted the energy that I connected with in that probable reality but averted it here?
ELIAS: The latter.
BEN: Oh, so this would be his habit of sometimes picking up on energies and assuming them on himself?
ELIAS: Correct.
BEN: Oh, and he did that partially but not entirely.
ELIAS: Correct.
BEN: Oh. So, the imagery was quite real about what happened in that probable focus? Because I went up the next morning and I thought I would find him dead, but I didn’t find him. And then he showed up and he was disheveled. Wow.
ELIAS: Correct.
BEN: But what’s interesting is, what prompted me to move into that probable reality? Because I remember that I could’ve seen a small blue flash when I was washing dishes, so there was obviously a curiosity of blinking in there for a little bit.
ELIAS: I agree.
BEN: And how was it involving you?
ELIAS: I was merely offering supportive energy.
BEN: Okay. And the curiosity was just my own, just for the heck of it?
ELIAS: I would say that you are curious in many expressions and directions, my friend, and therefore, I would say that it is a constant state that you engage. You simply are tapping into different expressions at different times. Sometimes it has to do with something here, sometimes it has to do with something somewhere else or in a different time framework, and I would say that this happens not randomly but because you were tapping into the energy of the cat at the time.
BEN: Oh. So, the things that I see before I fall asleep: I have a mattress on the wall, and just a while before I’m sleeping there’s a lot of activity there. I’m quite sure it’s other-dimensional movement energies. I just stare at it for a while until I lose interest, but it’s really interesting what goes on. It’s a lot of movement. It’s not defined in any objective manner, but I can see it there as energy.
ELIAS: I understand. I would agree.
BEN: Wow. I know I always look for a good adventure anywhere. (Both laugh)
ELIAS: I would agree with that also. (Laughs)
BEN: There are just so many things to do, it’s endless. I could continue like this forever.
ELIAS: (Laughs) I would say, my friend, that it is refreshing to be engaging with someone who is so interested in what they are doing. There are a few of you, but I would say that it is not at this present time framework a usual movement. (Chuckles)
BEN: Yeah. That’s something I know about myself. I’ve always known that. As a kid, I’ve always done my thing, and it’s really cool that I listen to that voice.
ELIAS: Yes. I agree.
BEN: Let me ask you something interesting about my voice, since I mentioned voice. I’ve been using my voice in the craziest manners. I make up all kinds of songs and characters, and I sing opera and I make up all these tempos. This goes on when I’m driving, when I’m at home, and it’s endless and it’s very, very creative, and I figured it’s a kind of channeling of my energy through my voice, which appears to have endless varieties for creativity.
ELIAS: I agree, and I would express that that is an excellent avenue that you play with.
BEN: It’s much less limited, for example, than any objective action, like even music or painting or sports. The voice has a very large capacity to move in many different directions with very little attention. You could just make up things as you go along.
ELIAS: I agree.
BEN: That’s great.
I was wondering if there’s any significance to… I get high-pitched sounds sometimes in the left ear and sometimes in the right ear. I don’t know what they are exactly. There are connections, but is there a difference that I could tell apart, the left side from the right side? Or nothing in particular?
ELIAS: Actually, yes. I would say that for you, this is very similar to, again, what other people do in relation to numbers, that they see a particular number consistently and then sometimes they see that number in reverse. You do a very similar action but with this particular expression. And in that, what it signifies is, with the right it is a prompt: pay attention to what YOU are doing; with the left, it is pay attention to what is happening outside of you.
BEN: Oh! Whoa, that’s efficient. I like that.
ELIAS: I agree.
BEN: Cool.
You know, since you mentioned numbers, I saw the number 444 about twice. I woke up at night and it was again 4:44, which connected last time with my mother and the cooperation that the children did with the headstone. Now, I don’t really know why this number has popped up again twice. Would this just be an indicator of more connections between the four of us and her?
ELIAS: Yes.
BEN: And she’s still in the same state, right? Creating imagery? It’s not likely that she will remember her death at this time.
ELIAS: Correct.
BEN: Something that happened a few weeks ago: While I was visiting her grave in the cemetery, my phone started playing this song called “Different Strings” by the band Rush. And apart from the unusualness that my phone plays a song in my pocket, I listened to the words of that song, and basically it says that we’re all part of the same action and we’re together and there’s no need to explain anything. Was that a communication between me and her? Or was that just to myself, about consciousness in general?
ELIAS: I would say that it was an interaction between the two of you.
BEN: Huh. You mentioned last time that I should pay attention to manifestations of my mother. I wouldn’t say that I’ve been aware of too many. The houseflies have definitely stopped. I did become aware of smaller, hovering insects which are much sweeter, and one time a really pretty dragonfly that was in the nursery that just stopped and let me observe it for a few minutes. Are these actually connections, or this is just fanciful thinking?
ELIAS: I would say this is actually connections.
BEN: Through these insects?
ELIAS: Yes.
BEN: And so the spider that was wandering around for two days here on the floor and actually had a lot of interaction with it, and I located it in different places in my flat, that was another one of those?
ELIAS: Yes.
BEN: Are there things that I haven’t noticed in imagery that I would have not imagined that it would be a connection with her?
ELIAS: No, I would say that she is actually being consistent with the insects.
BEN: That’s pretty. Because she knows that I love insects and I would never harm them and I just adore all of them.
ELIAS: (Chuckles) Which is the reason that it would be effective and efficient, because you WILL pay attention to them.
BEN: I will.
We have some minutes left. I’m going to ask you at least about one of my dreams—not my dreams, my sister’s dreams. She had a very vivid dream a while ago where the whole family was gathered around a screen which was displaying my mother lively, talking, much younger than she was. And we had a conversation, we were asking questions and she was in a very practical, energetic mood, and everything looked like a great interaction, something similar to what we would do when she was physically focused. Is that a valid connection between all of us? Or this is just my sister connecting with her?
ELIAS: I would say all of you.
BEN: All of us. And this is done subjectively in dream state? Or it could happen in waking state also?
ELIAS: Both.
BEN: Both. And I think the screen is imagery for something that we would use anyway, because we’re sort of dispersed around the world in different locations. Right?
ELIAS: Correct.
BEN: And the second dream was her husband had a dream that involved my mother, and he seemed to be at least partially lucid dreaming, because he saw her in the dream and he was surprised because he knew she was dead. And he asked her what he should do about my sister’s anxieties. He asked my mother, and my mother told him to follow the path and that my sister tries to garner sympathy from other women. And I asked my sister for her impressions, and she said that either it’s his subjective observation of how she deals with her emotions or my mother was communicating something about her comfort, that my sister has friends and therefore she will not be involved emotionally in her life. How accurate is that?
ELIAS: I would say not the latter, but the former, yes.
BEN: What is the former? Oh, the subjective translation of her husband?
ELIAS: Yes.
BEN: And what about that quote where my mother tells her husband just follow the path, she tries to garner sympathy? Is that a distortion?
ELIAS: Not entirely. And I would say that it is… Let me express it in this manner. It isn’t a message. That idea that people deliver messages after they are dead to friends or family members, that is actually incorrect. And in that, I would say that what happens many times is that the individual that has died may be expressing in what reality they are creating perhaps a conversation with a friend or a family member. And in that, the person in physical focus may be tapping into that energy and may be translating what the conversation is about. Remember: the individual that has died is creating objective imagery in very similar manner to what they did in physical focus. Therefore, they may be expressing in a manner that is very similar. Are you understanding?
BEN: Yeah. I am understanding. So my mother may be having her imagery in her connections or whatever she’s doing, and that gets picked up and translated into imagery, which does not mean that it’s a message passed from the other side, so to speak?
ELIAS: Correct.
BEN: Okay, that’s good to know. I was wondering, people that are creating imagery that have disengaged, do they create imagery of aging? Because their beliefs are still intact.
ELIAS: They are, but they don’t necessarily generate that action of aging, and the reason being that for most of you, within physical focus you might be physically aging but your perception of yourselves remains very similar. You actually, in relation to perception, stop aging at a particular point. This is the reason that many individuals have such a difficult expression accepting their own aging process, because in their perception, in their mindset, in a manner of speaking, they aren’t aging at all.
Now, in relation to nonphysical, that translates in that manner. Therefore, the person is actually creating the physical imagery the same as what their perception of themself is AND what their perception of other people is. Because in that, all of the people around them also don’t necessarily age; they are one age, and they stay that age.
BEN: That sounds like a pretty interesting experience to have. No wonder the people realize they have died and still continue to create imagery.
ELIAS: Correct. Because it is interesting and fun.
[The timer for the end of the session rings]
BEN: And there’s no urgency to move into transition because it’s not a necessity or any rule or anything.
ELIAS: Correct.
BEN: That’s interesting.
We’re going to use the buzzer this time to finish up on time, so we won’t start any other topic. This has been really, really fun. It’s amazing how many things are occurring in the present if you just pay attention. It’s never-ending.
ELIAS: I agree. (Laughs) And I would say that this is a very interesting direction, my friend.
BEN: Yes, it is. So we will continue to interact futurely. I like these short chats because they’re focused and they’re really exciting. So, I just want to say thanks and see you soon.
ELIAS: Very well. I shall greatly be anticipating of that. In tremendous love to you as always, au revoir.
BEN: Bye-bye.
(Elias departs after 31 minutes)
