Participants: Mary (Michael) and Nuno (Lystell)
ELIAS: Good morning!
NUNO: Good morning. How are you?
ELIAS: As always. And yourself?
NUNO: (Laughs) I’m doing quite well.
ELIAS: Excellent! And how shall we begin?
NUNO: I want to begin by asking about… well, as follows. Which would be more expedient for me, to resume developing my energy exchange with Lawrence or to instead begin developing receiving information from myself? And the reason for the question is because communicating with essence and obtaining information from essence is quite important to me, so I want to know which way would be best to proceed.
ELIAS: (Pause) First of all, as you are aware, I would say that you could engage in either direction. But I understand your question. I would say for you, it might be more efficient for you to be engaging information yourself. I would say that even though you might incorporate a tendency to question that and to wonder at times about what information you give yourself and want to verify it, I would say first of all, that’s natural. And secondly, I would say that for you, that’s actually more acceptable and easier than engaging with another essence and then questioning that.
NUNO: And to begin moving in that direction, do you have any suggestions how to begin?
ELIAS: I would say that that depends on you and what you trust. You can begin in any direction that is simple, that you can ask yourself questions with and then present answers.
Now; in that, generally speaking, moving in a direction of some method with yes and no answers to begin with is the easiest. And that actually is beneficial, because it builds trust. Therefore, I would say anything that, any method that would allow you to ask yes and no questions and receive an answer would be definitely a viable beginning point which you can practice, and therefore be building your trust. And in that, then you can build on that. You can expand from that.
Many people begin with actions such as pendulums or focal points such as Tarot or runes. And in that, as they develop more of a trust with themselves, then they can actually move in directions in which they don’t use those methods as much.
But now; I would say in relation to certain focal points, such as Tarot or runes, now these are methods that people engage and you can actually develop that more and more. Therefore that can be an excellent avenue to be engaging questions and answers with yourself, because you can expand it more and more and more, and you can move in more and more detail. You can ask more complex questions. You can give yourself more detailed answers. And therefore that can be an avenue that is very beneficial, and one that doesn’t have the limitation of something such as a pendulum.
NUNO: I’ve generally stayed away from those kinds of modalities. But I could—
ELIAS: Because?
NUNO: Because it seemed an unnecessary intermediary.
ELIAS: I would say it’s definitely an excellent avenue for building trust. Because, my friend, as you know, using these methods, you ARE simply channeling yourself and giving yourself answers. You’re simply using a focal point to do it. And in that, I would say that the more you, the more you use that focal point, the more you trust and the more you develop it, and the more complex the questions and answers you engage in relation to that, the more you learn to move in a direction in which you don’t need to do that.
NUNO: I understand and I will look into this and explore it.
ELIAS: Very well.
NUNO: Do you have anything further to say on that?
ELIAS: No.
NUNO: Okay. Then the next topic I would like to discuss is the pulsations of consciousness. And we’ve talked a little bit about this, but never in any depth, as far as I feel. And one of the reasons I’m asking is that these pulsations are starting to on occasion become more prominent with me during my exercises, but also I would like to have more of an understanding of them. So I would like to begin, if you could, by explaining what is the source of these pulsations and whether the pulsations are individual for each essence or are they global, or as Seth would say, part of All That Is, if you understand my question.
ELIAS: I do understand the question. I would say that there would be two parts of the answer. One is in general, the pulses that you experience are coming from consciousness. Therefore, it would be a matter of All That Is. But let me express to you (chuckles), All That Is is precisely that: all that is, not an entity. In this, what I would say is that consciousness as a whole generates a pulse. And in that, that pulsing action is figuratively – and this is figurative – the heartbeat of all of consciousness, the movement. It IS the movement, literally, of all of consciousness, therefore ALL essences, ALL consciousness, everything that is consciousness, therefore All That Is, because everything IS consciousness.
Regardless of dimension, regardless of area, regardless of designation, altogether consciousness generates a pulse which is the expression of or the (pause) engagement and the identification, in a manner of speaking, of the movement of consciousness, that it is continuously moving. That it’s continuously in motion, because that’s what it is: action. (Pause)
NUNO: Shall I continue?
ELIAS: Yes.
NUNO: Very well. Then just a little point here. In this dimension because of the time element, it appears that the pulsations are approximately one second apart. But naturally in other dimensions and outside of physical reality where time has a completely different meaning or rate I suppose, then the pulsations would appear to be much faster? Can you explain that?
ELIAS: Now; that would be the second part of the answer to that question, because I would say that it depends on who or what is engaging the pulse. Therefore, you engaging the pulse in your dimension in your reality – because there’s your dimension and then there is your reality – and I would say in relation to that, yes, your translation or not even your translation, your experience of the pulse would be how you are defining it, that it would be approximately once every second. And yes, in another dimension in another reality, it likely would be different. It might be faster. It might be slower. It would be different, but it wouldn’t necessarily automatically be faster. I would say that in non-physical areas of consciousness, it would translate likely slower. If you were to translate it into what you know in relation to what you experience, I would say that it would translate as slower.
NUNO: And in terms of my experience with it, that pulsation, I have at times been incorporating it into my exercises or attempting to do so, and the goal for me then would be to, as you suggested, to harmonize the body consciousness with those pulsations. So I would like to know if I have made any progress in that direction.
ELIAS: Some, yes.
NUNO: It seems at times, and this happened last night actually or early this morning, that I will at times begin just experiencing the pulsations when I am engaging my energy or perhaps your energy. And it seems at those times that I experience the pulsations more strongly and more, more I guess more easily identifiable. And I was wondering if this is part of my movement, the reason why this is occurring.
ELIAS: Explain part of your movement or what you mean in that.
NUNO: I just mean as part of my exercises—
ELIAS: Because everything is part of your movement.
NUNO: Could you repeat that, please?
ELIAS: Because everything is a part of your movement. Therefore, what are you expressing more specifically?
NUNO: I’m just wanting to know if as I progress in my movement, the harmonization of the pulsations will follow.
ELIAS: Yes. In relation to your expansion?
NUNO: Yes.
ELIAS: Yes.
NUNO: Okay. And you say that I’m beginning to do that somewhat?
ELIAS: Yes. You are not doing it entirely consistently. You’re not doing it at will and you’re not doing it all the time. Therefore, yes, you are beginning and you are doing it to a degree. Yes.
NUNO: Okay. And if I was to do it at will, what would I do to do that?
ELIAS: That would simply be a matter of learning how to be expressing tuning into that or tuning yourself into that at will. I would say that in relation to your practices and your meditation, you could be developing in that direction.
NUNO: Okay. This is kind of what I’ve been attempting to do, is to incorporate it into my usual exercises. Sometimes what I do is I use it as a focal point or attempt to use it as a focal point.
ELIAS: Yes. And in that, I would agree. And that is an example of moving more in that direction of being more intentional.
NUNO: Now in terms of my development in these exercises, I get the impression that I’ve been proceeding quite well actually, or there’s been, let us say there’s been perhaps an acceleration or an intensification within recent weeks let’s say. And I wanted to know, because at times I seem to readily – it’s hard to describe – but alter my state of consciousness perhaps, and I wanted to know if you could tell me how much of my energy am I incorporating into the focus.
ELIAS: How much of your energy as essence?
NUNO: Yes.
ELIAS: (Pause) First of all, I would say that it varies. It’s not always the same. Therefore it fluctuates. At times you can be expressing as much as I would say fifty percent. And then at other times I would say that you may be expressing as little as five. Which I would say that you likely know the difference. When you are expressing very little, you likely are experiencing yourself being somewhat distracted and having more difficulty focusing. And then there are times in which you are quite focused and quite relaxed and in a state in which you are actually experiencing much more of yourself AS essence. And you can tell when you’re doing that.
NUNO: Okay. Fifty percent sounds kind of low.
ELIAS: I’d say not actually. Let me express to you, my friend, (sighs) the power of essence is extraordinarily immense. It is not a situation in which you have been designed to experience yourself in your totality as essence in your body. Therefore, fifty percent is enormous. That is very significant. I would be tremendously acknowledging of your accomplishment in that, because I would say to you that it is a matter of acclimating your body to that type of energy, which you would have to do in considerable increments. Even an energy exchange can be tremendously affecting physically, dependent upon the volume of energy that the other essence is expressing in relation to an individual’s body consciousness. And that is, figuratively speaking, nothing in comparison to the fullness of the power of essence. The energy, the volume, is extraordinary. The human body is not designed to accommodate that. An essence that is engaging an energy exchange with a human must adjust the volume of energy that they are focusing through that human individual to be allowing for the body consciousness and not explode it.
NUNO: You mean actually physically explode it?
ELIAS: I mean actually physically explode it, yes.
NUNO: Interesting.
ELIAS: That the volume of energy in relation to essence could easily physically explode a human body. It would be – and this is simply a figurative type of comparison – but it would be similar to attempting to force the energy of a hurricane into a physical body. And a hurricane is not as powerful as the energy of essence.
NUNO: Well, I guess fifty percent doesn’t sound so bad after all.
ELIAS: (Laughs) I would say that you are accomplishing quite well! (Laughs)
NUNO: Okay. One of the questions I had for you was, in that I have little idea what it is to experience essence or what it is to be essence, in that my only knowledge of essence is through communications with you or other essences and even in that, you project to us a personality which is, I imagine, being shaped in some form to suit your needs. So I guess this is a very abstract question, but I don’t know what it is to be essence.
ELIAS: I understand. And that is very understandable. And I would say you are correct that it would be almost impossible to express that to an individual in a physical reality because everything you know is filtered through perception, and filtered through the design of your reality. Therefore, I can express to you that experiencing yourself as essence would be similar to experiencing a tremendous void, a purity of energy but with the lack of everything you know. That would be the closest that I could explain what the experience of essence would be to you. But it’s a very incomplete and non-comprehensive explanation because you can’t comprehend it. That doesn’t mean that you can’t experience it, but you can’t comprehend it outside of the experience or comprehend it from an explanation.
NUNO: Very well. I will work with that then.
ELIAS: What I would say is, the more you move away from the experience of yourself in physical reality, in physical focus, the closer you likely move towards the experience of yourself as essence. I would suggest that you incorporate more time experimenting with your inner sense of conceptualization. That will bring you closer.
NUNO: And by conceptualization, is that similar to imagination?
ELIAS: No. Not at all. Your inner sense of conceptualization is one that connects to the action of a concept. Not the subject of a concept, but the action of that subject of the concept. That would be the reason that it would be closer to the experience of you as essence. It would definitely help to move you in that direction considerably.
NUNO: Okay. I’m not sure I have experienced that before, or that sense.
ELIAS: Most individuals haven’t. But I would say that you can practice with it, and the more you move in that direction, the closer you will move to the experience of essence.
NUNO: Okay. And as you say, the closer I would move to the experience of essence, and that would be something that would benefit me generally, is that right?
ELIAS: Yes. I would agree.
NUNO: Okay. I would also like to ask about my practice in which I have been attempting to reduce separation. I’ve been engaging or attempting to engage that exercise that you suggested for that purpose. And so I’ve been practicing that somewhat. I was wondering if you have any observations of that?
ELIAS: Very well. Now; in that, what is your sense of your successfulness in that? I would say that you are doing well, but what is your sense of your success in that.
NUNO: I’m not really sure. I wasn’t even sure if I was performing the exercise correctly. But when I do the exercise, I believe that I am successful, yes. I don’t do the exercise quite exactly as you suggested, but I think it’s kind of a variation on it.
ELIAS: I understand. But I would say that you are, relatively speaking, accomplishing.
NUNO: I have been asking you most mornings for your prediction of the S&P 500, as to whether it will be ending the day up or down. And when I do this, I get an answer which generally is correct, almost always. But I don’t know if it’s coming from you or from another source.
ELIAS: Actually, I would say it is a cooperation. I would say that it is a cooperation between myself and you. What that means is, is that I am encouraging you to listen to you. This is also an exercise that I have been consistently engaging with you to, in a manner of speaking, help you to move in that direction of trusting yourself more. Therefore in a manner of speaking, what I’m doing is I’m pointing you in a direction and letting YOU express that to yourself.
NUNO: And when I do this, when I engage your energy and ask the question… I guess what I’m asking is, is that necessary or should I just ask the question to myself? It sounds like perhaps you are—
ELIAS: I would say that for a time, I would encourage you to continue to do it in the manner that you have been. And then, now that you have this information, then I would say to you to experiment with asking yourself the question and observe your success. And if it isn’t as successful or consistent, then return to the previous direction until you feel more confident.
NUNO: I was wondering how challenging would it be for me to manifest an object directly? What I mean by directly is not without the usual processes that we engage in this dimension of searching and purchasing and that kind of thing. But I understand that this has been done by at least one individual I know of, and so I’d like to know first of all how challenging would that be for me? And is there a way to begin experimenting with this?
ELIAS: I would say initially it would likely be significantly challenging, but I would also say that you can practice in varying degrees, meaning you can practice with simple expressions and then progress into more complex. In this, I would say begin with something very simple, that you don’t have to search for, something that you think would be likely to present itself to you anyway. But you’re doing this intentionally, therefore it isn’t random, let us say.
In this, I would encourage you to begin in that direction and monitor your success and then move in increments in more complex expressions. Move in the direction of something you think is easy, something that is mundane. (Pause) And then, when you have accomplished, that helps to build your confidence. And then you can attempt something similar. And then you can attempt something slightly more challenging, and so forth. (Pause)
NUNO: One of the things that is very important to me is regeneration and also, to a somewhat lesser extent, the alteration of my appearance. So in terms of the regeneration, one thing that I recently kind of came to a realization was that that belief that dictates that people degenerate with age and just generally that as things age they degenerate, but I thought that maybe a useful approach to this for myself would be to incorporate another belief, which is actually the opposite. Which is that as I age, I improve. And actually there’s a lot of evidence for that.
ELIAS: I would agree. And there is much to support it and therefore, that is definitely an easier avenue to engage. Because the more you can move in any direction that has objective support, the easier it will be to accomplish whatever it is you want to accomplish. Because there is tremendous support all around you for the opposite.
NUNO: And one of the things that I set out to do, beginning quite a while ago actually, but recently I’ve been observing it, is to alter the color of my hair, to return it to its… what I think of as its natural color. And I think that’s been going really well, and I think that that’s, like for me it’s very strong evidence that I am succeeding in that. Would you agree?
ELIAS: I would agree. I would express congratulations.
NUNO: And I want to do the same thing just with my general appearance and I mean, to some extent, I’ve been doing that for a while. But I want to change more my appearance. So is it simply a matter of intent, or is there more that’s necessary to do that?
ELIAS: I would say it depends.
Now; understand that changing your appearance isn’t necessarily the same as regeneration.
NUNO: Yes.
ELIAS: You can be changing your appearance and not be engaging with the action of regeneration. I would say that that would be the first piece to recognize what your intention is, and therefore what direction you’re moving in. But I would say that much of it IS about intention. Then it’s a matter of following that with being in harmony with what you are doing. Therefore, not expressing in automatic directions that might be contrary to what you’re doing.
NUNO: Can you give me an example of that?
ELIAS: Very well. Are you looking at something in relation to your appearance that has to do with regeneration or not?
NUNO: Well, in some cases I’m not really sure. I mean, my skin for example, I want to make it what most people would call more youthful. In other words, to remove wrinkles and things like that.
ELIAS: Very well. THAT is considerably a matter of hydration, but I would say in wanting to alter your appearance in relation to skin, in that, it’s a matter of setting that intention but then looking at different expressions in your reality and not reinforcing the idea that your skin is undesirable, let us say.
Therefore, let me give you what you think of as a concrete example: going into a grocery store and observing a piece of meat or a piece of fish, and looking at that and let’s say you are looking at a piece of fish and you observe it and it seems to be dry, and that immediately influences you to generate a negative association with it.
Now; that doesn’t mean that you then look at that piece of fish and think that it is desirable, but that you are noticing that and that you are moving in a direction, incrementally obviously, of paying attention. And therefore, the next time you notice something such as that, you look at it from a neutral point of view. You don’t necessarily automatically make that judgment. Are you understanding?
NUNO: Yes.
ELIAS: Therefore, in that, anything that is around you, you are moving in directions of not making judgments in association with something being undesirable, or observing other people and looking at their skin and making an assessment that someone else’s expression is undesirable. It is a matter of moving to a point in which those differences are neutral and they don’t matter. And therefore, you are not moving in opposition to what you are expressing in your intention.
NUNO: Okay. I think I understand.
ELIAS: Excellent.
NUNO: And one last question here. I think that the one thing that is holding me back the most is my expressions of dissatisfaction. And I mean I’ve come to the realization that any expression of dissatisfaction is in fact an expression of not enough. I think they’re just about—
ELIAS: I disagree! You can be expressing some types of dissatisfaction and it isn’t necessarily a matter of not enough. It may simply be that you are moving yourself in a direction to generate something more or generate something in your assessment as better. And in that, it may be a matter of accomplishment and therefore, it might not necessarily be not enough.
NUNO: It seems like it’s a fine line.
ELIAS: In a manner of speaking, I agree. Yes, it would be. But there is a difference.
NUNO: Okay. I’ll consider that. But just going back to what I was saying, this seems like something that I could definitely do to improve myself, to reduce dissatisfaction and of course expressions of not enough. And you know, I’m one of these people that have been expressing in that manner for almost all my life because it began very early in childhood. And I see other people that don’t do this and it just seems like a very difficult thing to alter.
(The timer for the end of the session rings)
ELIAS: I would say it can be, but it doesn’t have to be. I would say to you, my friend, it definitely is a matter of perception and a matter of what you’re making important. Therefore, what I would say to you is, it is definitely something you can practice and that you can catch yourself and you can be expressing in a different direction. It’s a matter of what you pay attention to. And as I expressed, you pay attention to what is important to you. Therefore, it’s a matter of making certain things less important.
NUNO: Okay. Thank you.
ELIAS: You are very welcome.
NUNO: Am I progressing with my regeneration?
ELIAS: (Laughs) I would say definitely.
NUNO: Okay. Very good.
ELIAS: (Inaudible) Yes.
NUNO: Okay. Well, I want to thank you for everything you do and for me, which is incredible amounts. And I want to thank you for your discussions today.
ELIAS: You are very welcome. And I shall greatly be anticipating our next meeting, my friend. In tremendous love to you and great encouragement and support as always, in dear friendship, au revoir.
NUNO: Au revoir.
