Participants: Mary (Michael) and Jean (Lyla)
ELIAS: Good afternoon!
JEAN: Good afternoon, Elias!
ELIAS: (Chuckles) How shall we begin, my friend?
JEAN: Well, I’d like to begin with a couple of things for some other people.
ELIAS: Very well.
JEAN: Cindy Crane would like to know, is she an AP [aristocratic personality]?
ELIAS: (Pause) Yes.
[Personal question for another person omitted]
JEAN: Okay. And then Elias, two things: I’ve been fascinated with puzzles recently, and I’ve been thinking about that. And when I first started engaging you, I just felt like I was dropped in the middle of the ocean and didn’t know which way to go. I might cry a little bit here. But I think now what’s happening is like I’ve put together the border of the puzzle, and now I’m starting to fill it all in. And I just wanted to say thank you for sticking with me, Elias.
ELIAS: You are very, very much – I would say, you are more than welcome. Of course I would continue with you. What I would say to you, my dear friend is, this is a piece that many individuals express, and it is always slightly surprising that you – so many of you – move in the direction of perceiving that you are so unimportant or not valuable that I WOULDN’T continue with you. Which is actually quite ludicrous, because I would continue with each of you to whatever end, because you ARE worth it.
JEAN: Yeah. Thank you. And I think what I want to talk about today are just different puzzle pieces.
ELIAS: Excellent.
JEAN: It’s kind of what JZ is doing, this “Who am I?” I think it’s all starting to come together. So, I guess my first thing I wanted to talk to you about is, I’ve had several dreams lately where I have been encountering some of my horses in the dreams. I mean, actually going up —
ELIAS: Excellent.
JEAN: — and touching them. Wow!
ELIAS: That is tremendous, my friend! And what I would say to you is, that is another piece to credit yourself with, expressing “I did that,” because I would express to you, what you’ve done is you’ve sent out your energy to find those energies and brought them back to yourself. That is impressive.
JEAN: Well, I don’t know, but the two that I’ve had… I don’t know if they’re still alive yet.
ELIAS: It doesn’t matter.
JEAN: Yeah.
ELIAS: You’ve brought their energy back to you.
JEAN: So in a sense it’s making me whole again.
ELIAS: Yes. You create that energy and project it out, and create those manifestations. And by pulling that back to you, yes, precisely, you’re creating an action to be whole again. Yes.
JEAN: And one of the interesting things, Elias, in fact it’s right here in front of me. I mean, I haven’t really touched a horse in quite some time. And the other day I went to the bathroom, and when I looked down, there was like a twelve-inch piece of horse mane on the floor! And I’ve got it here in front of me. and I don’t know how that happened. I do have some old brushes and such from the last horse that I had, but those have been put away in a bag hanging up in the laundry room.
How did that get there, Elias? Is that something that I created? Was that a magical act, or…?
ELIAS: I would say most definitely so. And I would say that that was excellent also, as a physical display and validation of what you did.
JEAN: Oh my god.
ELIAS: To genuinely validate to yourself how very real it is, what you’ve done.
JEAN: Okay.
ELIAS: Congratulations.
JEAN: Wow.
ELIAS: That is an exceptional expression.
JEAN: Elias, I’ve got so many fascinating things I wanted to talk to you about, but I just… Really, what’s most important is whatever you think is going to benefit me the most. I mean, in two days my husband is moving to Boston to start his new job.
ELIAS: And how are you with that?
JEAN: I am thrilled with it, and I’m being very… I’m watching myself closely, because there are so many past associations with moves as being something to dread and you do out of desperation. And we’re not doing that; we’re looking forward. The next step is finding a place for myself to relocate to with the creatures. We’re just being positive about it and taking some action steps. And I’m excited this time, Elias.
ELIAS: Congratulations!
JEAN: Yeah.
ELIAS: That is exceptional. Well done, my friend.
JEAN: Yes. Yes. Earlier today we had somebody come and take away the first load of just junk, and I’m going through the house, I’m taking the action steps. We made a little sign that we’re going to post around and that sort of stuff. My husband’s going to go out and search the areas on the weekends, on the commuter trains. And is there any other…? Oh, and he’s got a cousin that lives in Massachusetts. He’s going to contact that cousin.
ELIAS: Excellent!
JEAN: Yeah. And —
ELIAS: Use your resources.
JEAN: Yes. Yes. And —
ELIAS: That’s excellent.
JEAN: Yeah. So that’s where we are with that. And…
ELIAS: I express congratulations to both of you.
JEAN: Yeah. Yeah. And I’m going to say for the first time maybe even in our marriage, we’ve truly been enjoying each other.
ELIAS: Excellent.
JEAN: Yeah.
ELIAS: Now, what do you feel in relation to him leaving and you remaining there for a time?
JEAN: I caught myself going through a lot of anxiety, and at night, about not feeling safe. I even had a question: Is he trying to move away from me?
ELIAS: No.
JEAN: Okay. Because that came into my mind as well. But as far as the safety issue, we’ve kind of worked that out, because he’s contacted two people that he’s become friends with – one lives just across the street from me and another maybe a mile away – that if I feel unsafe or I need something, that they could help me.
ELIAS: Very well. And other than that?
JEAN: Other than that, I mean I’m so happy for him, because I see the life coming back in him.
ELIAS: Excellent.
JEAN: And that just brings joy to my heart.
ELIAS: That is tremendous.
Now, what I would say to you is also, it may occur that you may have a time – or you may have more than one – in which you might feel strange and uncomfortable being alone, and that is entirely acceptable and normal. Because you ARE moving in a direction in which the two of you are establishing a new relationship, a more connected relationship, and in the midst of that he has generated this job, and that will physically separate you for a time. But in that, I would [inaudible] you continue to remind yourself of your connection with each other. And I would also say that if you feel alone and you are uncomfortable, reach out to him.
JEAN: Yeah.
ELIAS: And simply connect with him.
JEAN: Yeah. Yeah.
ELIAS: And don’t express to yourself that you don’t want to bother him.
JEAN: Yes. Thank you. (Pause)
ELIAS: Because it’s important that the two of you are continuing to maintain your relationship.
JEAN: Yeah. Yeah, I don’t think even in our marriage we’ve had the opportunity to enjoy ourselves. And I know this is someone that when things are good, we really have a good time with each other. But we just got caught into whatever we created, and it’s so simple to say… to throw it all away. But I don’t want to do that, not at this point.
ELIAS: And I acknowledge you.
JEAN: Yeah.
ELIAS: And I express that it’s simply a matter of reminding yourself of that at times.
JEAN: Yeah. Yeah.
Elias, let’s do something fun.
ELIAS: Very well.
JEAN: Okay. You had said several times, and most recently in one of Adam’s sessions, that it’s no accident as to the time and the place and the month and the season of your birth.
ELIAS: Correct.
JEAN: Can we work with mine, in that capacity? Like I was born at 3:03 p.m. in the South, [in] Wilmington, North Carolina, which is near the sea. It was in the month of November. It was in the fall. Why did I choose that?
ELIAS: (Pause) Meaning?
JEAN: I mean, does…? When you get—
ELIAS: It’s all part of who you are. It’s all part of the makeup of your personality and your desire, your drive in this lifetime. And in that, I would say that think about it: What are the qualities of your astrological expression?
JEAN: What are the qualities? Wow, that’s a big question, Elias.
ELIAS: What would you say, if you were to express what the main qualities of your sign are, your astrological expression is, what would you say?
JEAN: I would have to say something like intensity.
ELIAS: I would agree. And I would say fiery.
JEAN: Fiery.
ELIAS: Which, I would say that is a significant quality, for if you are going to address to some significant experience in your life, it might be helpful to BE fiery. (Both laugh)
JEAN: But let’s just take something like Wilmington, North Carolina. Why that location?
ELIAS: Why that location? I would say first of all, it is a Southern state.
Now; what would you say are attributes to the South?
JEAN: Attributes to the South? One is there’s more of a relaxation to life, it’s not as intense.
ELIAS: I would agree, although I wouldn’t necessarily use the words “not as intense,” because there definitely are certain aspects of intensity in the South. But yes, there is, to a degree, a relaxed aspect of it. But think about… think about the South. Think about you, and think about the South.
JEAN: I’m going to say there might be more of a connection between people.
ELIAS: Mm… I understand what you’re saying. I would express that as being more family oriented.
JEAN: Okay.
ELIAS: They are.
Now; I would also say that… What is something that people notice about Southerners very obviously? They’re cordial.
JEAN: Yeah.
ELIAS: They have a politeness about them.
JEAN: Yes.
ELIAS: Why? Because they have been taught, for the most part almost from birth, to be respectful.
Now; I would say that that is a significant quality. I would say that there is more of an association of aristocrats in the South than there is in the North. Also, there is – or there has been – a very strong association and, in a manner of speaking, push for success in the South. It’s one extreme or the other, in a manner of speaking.
JEAN: Wow. Wow.
ELIAS: That in southern areas, either a push for success and education and even wealth, or poor and indigent and ignorant. Not that there isn’t any in-between, of course, but the culture cultivates these extremes.
Therefore, I would say that in relation to your personality type you fit, and in association with this particular aspect of the South, it’s also not as extreme because you are closer to the coast, and the areas that are closer to the coast in both the Carolinas and Georgia are somewhat more in-between, not as extreme. And also, the areas that are closer to the coast in all three of these states have a tendency to be more open to unusual, – or what has traditionally been perceived as unusual – such as metaphysics.
JEAN: Oh wow!
ELIAS: Therefore that would be another piece that you fit. And in that, I would say that there’s also a strong pull to nature. I would say that in relation to all of that, you fit quite well and why would you NOT choose that place?
JEAN: That’s interesting. And then also you had mentioned that the season of the year is not accidental either, and actually for me, the fall is my favorite season of the year.
ELIAS: I understand.
Now, I would say that the season of the year that an individual chooses to be born in doesn’t necessarily mean that that will be their favorite season.
JEAN: Right. Right.
ELIAS: But I would say that in relation to the fall, this is a time of year that is traditionally viewed as the end of work and the coming to fruition of everything.
JEAN: Sort of like the end of harvest? Like harvest in —
ELIAS: Yes!
JEAN: Yes.
ELIAS: Yes. And the time of year to be moving in the direction of reaping everything that has been worked for. It’s also a season of gratitude. I would say that this is the reason that many people enjoy autumn, without actually realizing why.
JEAN: And then let’s take, like I was born at 3:03 p.m., according to my birth certificate. Would you agree with that, first of all?
ELIAS: I would. And what do you gather from that?
JEAN: Well, talking about 3 is balance, and I’ve got two 3’s right there.
ELIAS: Correct. Correct.
JEAN: Okay. Well, let’s add two more factors here: You were telling both my husband, and I think maybe it was Adam again or someone in a session that you choose your parents —
ELIAS: Yes.
JEAN: Because of… Even if you’re adopted immediately after birth, you choose some aspects of both parents purposely.
ELIAS: Yes.
JEAN: So what aspects did I —
ELIAS: That doesn’t mean that you choose beforehand the experiences that you create.
JEAN: Right. Right. And that’s where I’m going. So my experiences aside, because I realize I didn’t know the probabilities that my parents would choose –
ELIAS: Correct.
JEAN: I almost look at it like a sperm donor book: “Oh! Here’s someone. This is their physical characteristics, and this is what’s important to them and this is what they express. That looks good.” Is that essentially kind of what you do?
ELIAS: In a manner of speaking, yes!
JEAN: So with my mother, it would be —
ELIAS: Because in that – now, it’s a matter of stop momentarily and think about it. You are an essence that is entering into a physical focus with a particular intent in that focus, and a pool of probabilities that you likely will stick to for the most part, even if you step aside from that. But in that, then you think about the qualities of your parents. Don’t think about whatever they did wrong.
JEAN: Right. Right.
ELIAS: But simply think about them as individual people. Think about their mannerisms, think about how they express themselves, or think about their qualities, even if some of their qualities were squashed. Because yes, in a manner of speaking, it’s similar to the idea of a sperm donor. (Jean laughs) That in that, you’re not looking at the people themselves necessarily, because you don’t know these people. And in that, – and let me actually qualify that statement, because you DON’T know these people, because before you physically manifest, you are already moving in a direction of forgetting, therefore moving yourself in the direction of being able to express the purity of your experiences without being colored by prior knowledge.
Therefore, in that, you are choosing your parents, and you don’t know these people. But you do have an assessment of their qualities. You know what season THEY were born in; therefore, you know what those qualities are of their personalities. You know what types of expressions that they already generated; therefore, you know past. You also more so move in the direction of the genetics, so to speak.
Now, remember: Genetics and DNA are not absolutes, but it is in a manner of speaking a type of map. It gives you some guidelines of what you’re attracted to, what heritage do you want to be a part of. Therefore, those are the reasons that you choose your parents.
JEAN: Elias, can we have some fun with this and take my mother and my father? If I look at my mother, this is a woman that was extremely… oh my god, courageous and strong and determined. And my father, even though it was squashed, he had this flamboyance about him. I mean, he looked like Cary Grant or Rock Hudson. He probably would have done really well in the movies if he had made different choices. So there was this charisma about him. Would you agree with that?
ELIAS: I would.
JEAN: And can you add to that?
ELIAS: But it’s not only your parents; it’s your heritage. That’s what I was expressing as your genetics. It’s your lineage.
JEAN: Can we use me as an example and talk about that?
ELIAS: Yes! Therefore, what of your grandparents? Where are your grandparents from? And what have they expressed? And in that, what are, in a manner of speaking, the natural expressions and the mannerisms that are associated and common to your family? – or families, because it would be a combination of both sides.
Therefore, think about YOUR mannerisms. What type of mannerisms do you have?
JEAN: What type of mannerisms do I have?
ELIAS: Yes.
JEAN: Um.. Uh, politeness? I’m not sure what you mean by mannerisms. I’m kind of stumped.
ELIAS: Mannerisms are HOW you express yourself – not what, but how. And how you express your body language, and how you engage your speech, and how you listen – because you listen in the same manner as you speak.
JEAN: Yes. Yes.
ELIAS: Therefore, mannerisms are the manner in which you do things. They are not the what, they are the how, in relation to everything that you do. Therefore, let us say that you automatically, without thinking about it, push your hair aside whenever you are uncomfortable.
Now, it doesn’t matter that your mother or your grandmother – or your grandfather – may have done that same action in front of you, because as I’ve expressed, even if you were adopted at birth and you never met these people and you never saw them and you never interacted with them, you wouldn’t know that they did that, but you would do it anyway because that’s part of the genetics. Your mannerisms, the manner in which you express yourself, HOW you express yourself – in ANYTHING – your mannerisms are part of that package, in a manner of speaking. They’re part of your heritage. They’re part of your connection, your physical connection to a family, to a heritage or a lineage.
In that, you might speak and never use hand gestures because one of your parents or your grandparents or your great-grandparents spoke and never used hand gestures. Or you might be the opposite, that you use hand gestures in relation to EVERYTHING you say, that you can’t express yourself if you have to sit on your hands. (Both laugh) Or you might be an individual that has to repeat themself several times when you are engaging with a conversation with another individual.
JEAN: Oh god, I’m married to one of those.
ELIAS: That’s not only them. That is a mannerism. That is a HOW something is done, and that is part of their genetics. That’s part of their lineage, their heritage. Someone else – or many other someones in his family – expresses in the same manner. Therefore, it’s a matter of looking at what you naturally do. Whether you speak softly or you speak loudly; or whether you walk fast or you walk slowly; whether you do laundry and fold it immediately, or whether you do laundry and you leave it sit in your dryer or your clothesline – these are all pieces. It’s how you do, how you express yourself, in automatic actions that are not actually learned. They are simply a part of you, and they’re a part of your heritage.
And in that, that is a very big part of why you choose the family that you choose, why you choose the parents that you choose, to be born into a particular family and to take on those mannerisms even if you don’t continue to be a part of that family.
JEAN: This makes me really look at the whole topic of acceptance more too.
ELIAS: Very much so.
JEAN: There might be things that people do and you want to be critical about them, but knowing this now, you’re like wow, that’s part of their coloring book.
ELIAS: Yes! It’s part of why you choose these people. Because of all of that… All of that is part of what you have viewed initially. When you are creating your pool of probabilities before you are born, you create that pool of probabilities – which is basically your intent and what basic direction you intend to move in, in that particular focus – and in that, you’re looking at the qualities and the mannerisms of these people, this family, this lineage, and you’re seeing the benefits to that, and you’re attracted to them. Some of them you’re attracted to because you see how they will benefit you; some of them you’re simply attracted to because you like them.
JEAN: Well Elias, let me ask you this in the last, we have about fourteen minutes or so: We’ve already talked about the pool of probabilities that I was entered with. It was to do something with animals, but perhaps in a new direction, healing or… Right?
ELIAS: Yes.
JEAN: So how did my choice of genetics, how is that going to benefit me in what I’m going to call my new direction, stepping more into what my intent is, just as an example? Does that make sense?
ELIAS: Yes! Because it lends more in the direction of confidence. It lent in that direction to begin with, and it will again.
JEAN: Yeah. But the confidence, as we’ve talked, that’s all the trauma work, in removing that so that the confidence can return.
ELIAS: Correct. But I would say that you had – or have – qualities that were chosen that lend to and reinforce confidence. I would say that you have mannerisms that, in a manner of speaking, make you likable. You have mannerisms that are interesting. You have expressions of your heritage that lend to what you want to accomplish. Whatever you want to accomplish involves other people, because it involves animals. And unless you are planning on going on safari and then staying (Jean laughs) in the savannah and healing in THAT capacity, moving in the direction of animals and healing also involves people. And in that, being likable, amiable, compassionate with people will make you more successful.
I would also say that in relation to the healing aspects themselves, what I would say to you is, one piece that has been very clear in your heritage is sensitivity. Which, I’m very aware that you would automatically look at that sensitivity as a negative, that that’s what has created much turmoil, much trauma and that it has been the source of much trouble; that people in your family may have had sensitivity but that leads you in a road of vulnerability, and that leads you down a road of trouble and harm. But that was only the choice of some people. That doesn’t mean that that automatically moves hand in hand with sensitivity, but that is a piece that has been expressed in your heritage by many individuals on both sides of your family, and it definitely has been expressed in you. And THAT definitely DIRECTLY is connected with and creates a benefit for you moving in an expression of healing, because with that sensitivity you can be more attuned to what animals are expressing. (Pause)
JEAN: Wow. Elias. Well, you’ve answered one question. I know I’ve asked you this before, but my moving to Massachusetts, or my intent to move to Massachusetts, it’s not throwing me off path. Just because I was born in the South and chose that, to be born there, doesn’t mean that I have to return to the South.
ELIAS: No! Definitely not.
JEAN: It’s just I’m carrying all the attributes that I want into where I go next?
ELIAS: Yes! Most definitely!
JEAN: Okay. Okay. Okay.
ELIAS: I would say most, most definitely. No; you do not have to be living in the South to be successful.
JEAN: Okay.
Elias, I’m just going to end with some candy here. I’m just fascinated on YouTube, watching these people renovate chateaus and repurposing them for… They’re lived in in a different capacity now, more of a sharing capacity and such. Is that just a reflection for me of what’s going on inside of me? Kind of like a renovation?
ELIAS: Yes. And I would say beyond that, it can be inspiring and can offer you ideas of what you can do also.
JEAN: In that same capacity?
ELIAS: Similar, yes.
JEAN: Yeah. Because I’ve often… We don’t have time to discuss it now, but obviously I was born in the U.S. and it was purposeful, but I have this drive to move to Europe. Is that very genuine, in a sense?
ELIAS: It is. I would say it may not necessarily be realistic in relation to actuality, but I would say it’s very real in its draw and in relation to your fondness for Europe. And I would also say that it can be very inspiring to express, in a manner of speaking, some reproduction of that in other places.
JEAN: Okay. Okay. I want to renovate a beautiful property so badly, Elias.
ELIAS: (Chuckles) And I would say that that’s not something that is unattainable.
JEAN: Okay. Okay. I still battle with, “Oh my god, I’ve got to figure out some way to produce first before I could even dream about that.”
ELIAS: Not necessarily.
JEAN: Okay. All right.
ELIAS: I would say I understand, but that’s not necessarily true.
JEAN: Okay. Magic can happen.
ELIAS: Oh, most definitely.
JEAN: Yeah. I figure that it can all unfold together, even: the healing, stepping into a healing aspect and renovating. I don’t know how yet, but…
ELIAS: It doesn’t matter. You will.
JEAN: Yeah. Okay.
Elias, if there’s anything you’d like to end with… I just wanted to do a big callout to Markus and his sessions that he has so kindly released, because your conversations, they’re just so fiercely deep and intellectual. And yeah, it made a big difference.
ELIAS: (Chuckles) I understand.
JEAN: Yeah. So, gratitude and appreciation to him as well. (Elias chuckles)
Well thank you, Elias. We’ll let Mary come back. I know she’s on schedule. If there’s anything you’d like to close with saying, please do.
[The timer for the end of the session rings]
ELIAS: I would simply be acknowledging you, my friend, and encouraging you tremendously.
JEAN: Okay.
ELIAS: And reminding you that you can accomplish whatever you choose. It’s all a matter of mindset, because that is a matter of what you are paying attention to.
JEAN: Yes.
ELIAS: And I would be very, very much acknowledging you and encouraging you in relation to what you’ve been accomplishing of late.
JEAN: Okay.
ELIAS: Congratulations.
JEAN: Thank you, Elias.
ELIAS: You are very welcome. With tremendous, tremendous love to you and exceptional affection.
JEAN: Thank you. (Laughs)
ELIAS: In wondrous friendship as always, my friend, until our next meeting, au revoir.
JEAN: Au revoir.
