Participants: Mary (Michael) and Jean-François (Samta)
(Audio begins partway through session)
JF: You’ve said that visualizing does not allow for thinking at the same time, right? We can’t visualize and think at the same time. And you’ve said so many times that thinking does not create reality.
ELIAS: Correct.
JF: And I think it should be painfully aware to all of us by now.
ELIAS: (Laughs) Not necessarily, but I understand. (Both laugh)
JF: As a thinker, I’ll say it is like well, we should know that. (Elias laughs) So the energy being expressed while visualizing, is that more in line with reality creating? Does it have that kind of agency? Because it’s not thinking, it’s visualizing. And I’m thinking that in a way it’s very related to imagination.
ELIAS: It is.
JF: Which you know you’ve said that’s the beginning of all the… of every creation.
ELIAS: Correct.
JF: So visualizing: how much agency does that have in terms of reality creating, creation? Because it’s not—
ELIAS: A lot.
JF: A lot? So it is actually powerful.
ELIAS: Yes, it is. Which is the reason that I suggest it so frequently. And then you can enhance that and make it even more powerful, if you are experientially visualizing.
JF: Acting it out, you mean?
ELIAS: No. Experiential visualizations are visualizations that you include sensory experience.
JF: Like smell?
ELIAS: ALL senses.
JF: Yes.
ELIAS: And therefore because you’re including sensory experience with it, you are feeling and experiencing what you’re visualizing.
JF: So whatever the visualization is about, if we can include elements that are sensory that are conducive to the visualization, that enhances it?
ELIAS: Yes.
JF: Okay.
ELIAS: It makes it more powerful.
JF: Right. That makes sense.
ELIAS: Let us say an individual wants to acquire a new vehicle, and they have a specific vehicle in mind that they very much want. And in generating an experiential visualization, they visualize themself with that vehicle, driving that vehicle in many different scenarios, different environments, but they’re experiencing themself IN the vehicle. They’re feeling that vehicle and what they would be feeling: driving the road, the stops, the starts, the speed. They would be experiencing everything that they would experience if they were actually driving that vehicle. And that creates a more powerful energy.
There is a definite strength to that type of visualization, and in that, it enhances it tremendously. And therefore, it is much more likely that the individual will actually be successful in creating what they want.
A visualization or an experiential visualization would be a definite enhancement to your cast.
JF: I was just going to say. Because the experiential aspect, like quality being added to a visualization, we could say the same about a casting.
ELIAS: Definitely.
JF: Yeah. Or do all three.
ELIAS: Yes.
JF: Yeah. And visualization, is that always involving imagination? Is that by definition?
ELIAS: Yes.
JF: Availing itself of imagination?
ELIAS: Yes.
JF: Yeah. Okay.
ELIAS: It might not seem to be, but there is always an aspect of that, yes, that’s involved.
JF: And visualization/imagination, we can objectively direct it? We can… But then it’s good to also let it come from the subjective? There’s—
ELIAS: It’s a matter of both.
JF: Yes. Right. That’s the point.
ELIAS: Yes.
JF: So there is an element of us with what we know of ourselves to be objectively, we can see, we can orient the visualization. But then also allow that part of ourselves to be surprised or go, not knowing where it will go. So the element of both—
ELIAS: Yes.
JF: — basically includes the subjective and the objective.
ELIAS: Yes.
JF: Which is ideal.
ELIAS: Yes. That would be ideal, and that also allows it to be more powerful because you are aware. You’re more aware. And if you were using the example with the vehicle, you’re creating the visualization of the vehicle objectively and you’re objectively creating the experiential part of it in part, in which you are experiencing the motion of the vehicle. But if you are incorporating the visualization correctly, you’re not certain where you’re going to go, as you’re driving the vehicle.
JF: Yes.
ELIAS: You’re allowing the subjective to direct that aspect of it.
JF: Yes. Otherwise, we’re just kind of using the objective part of ourselves to arm wrestle some… you know, the visualization.
ELIAS: Yes.
JF: Yeah. Okay.
