Participants: Mary (Michael) and Anon (Camile)
Note: The setting for this session was in Rome after the group session held two days previously. Also present were Ann (Vivette), Gina (Liliana) and John (Lonn).
ELIAS: Good morning!
ANON: Good morning, Elias!
ELIAS: And what shall we discuss?
ANON: Just a variety of little things.
ELIAS: Very well.
ANON: Nothing serious. (Elias chuckles) We’ll start off with agate. You mentioned to [John R.] that agate would be a good stone for me to carry, and could you tell me why?
ELIAS: (Pause) It generates balancing properties. Therefore, it can aid in generating more concentrating of the energy when it is wanted and calming when that is wanted.
ANON: Okay. Good to know. And do you have anything to say about bloodstone and kyanite, maybe a few of their properties? Because I've always been attracted to bloodstone for whatever reason.
ELIAS: (Pause) This would be a stone that, in a manner of speaking, reinforces. Therefore, it can be an excellent aid at times. I would not necessarily suggest that you wear it or that you carry it with you at all times, for in that situation it can exacerbate certain expressions or encourage you to continue in a loop. BUT it can be excellent in relation to empowering yourself, for it reinforces, and it can be an aid if you are… not afraid, but perhaps uncertain but are moving forward. It can be an encouraging energy in that respect also.
The other… (pause) The properties of that are somewhat evening, therefore once again in relation to balance that would be a benefit, but it would also be one that you may want to incorporate if you are not feeling good, but not necessarily if you are excited and are considerably motivated or generally feeling happy; those would not be expressions that you would necessarily want to flatten...
ANON: Okay.
ELIAS: …and that is basically the property that it expresses. It flattens expressions.
ANON: Okay. All for such a pretty little stone!
ELIAS: But that can be a tremendous advantage if you are anxious…
ANON: True, yes.
ELIAS: ...or if you are expressing fear or you are restless. In situations such as that, it generates that dampening quality and flattening, and therefore that can be beneficial in those types of situations.
ANON: Okay. Hm.
Vitamins have been coming into discussion lately, so I was wondering: The way I take vitamins, which is – I do, I believe in them – I take like a C every once or two days when I think about it, 1000 IUs. And then every couple of days, or a couple of times a week, two-three times a week I take calcium and then try to do D if I'm not going outside every day. Is that okay? Or are those... ?
ELIAS: Yes.
ANON: ...quantities of vitamins causing me any harm?
ELIAS: No.
ANON: I don't notice any that...
ELIAS: You would notice.
ANON: I would notice?
ELIAS: Yes.
ANON: Yes. Because I thought when you mentioned joint pain, I sometimes get pain in my hip, and I'm thinking maybe that's got something to do with it, but no.
ELIAS: No.
ANON: Okay.
ELIAS: I would express that you will know.
ANON: Okay.
ELIAS: Contrary to what many individuals think, you incorporate this mass perception that vitamins are acceptable in any quantity for if you do not absorb them you will eliminate them, which is not entirely correct. Your body consciousness does not automatically do that, and therefore with some individuals, higher concentrations of certain vitamins can actually be detrimental.
MOST individuals can tolerate significant quantities of vitamins and not experience any negative affectingness. And as I expressed, you would know if it was generating an adverse effect. It would deplete your energy in a manner of feeling fatigued and aching, and it can affect joints – not in a damaging manner, but it can produce soreness or stiffness. And in that with some individuals in extremes, the body consciousness may react in vomiting or in generating symptoms that are very similar to what you recognize with your creations of flus.
ANON: Okay.
ELIAS: But if you are not experiencing any of that then I would not concern myself with it.
ANON: Excellent, that's what I thought. And speaking of vomiting, was that food poisoning that I had two days ago, the first day that I arrived here, or basically for the first 24 hours? I was vomiting, some diarrhea, mostly vomiting, dry heaving, stomach pains, for about a 24-hour period. I locked myself in the room.
Was that something to do with unacknowledged emotion or unacknowledged something? I was in a discussion with Axel, who was in a similar situation in Vermont a few years ago, so we were discussing this and I'm thinking, “Well, I don't know if I recognize an emotion that was unacknowledged that would lead to that effect,” you know?
ELIAS: No.
ANON: It wasn’t? Okay.
ELIAS: I would express that it was merely a reaction of the body consciousness to differences that you are not accustomed to. And in that, let me express to you, food poisoning, or what you term to be food poisoning, is an interesting expression that you have invented which generally individuals develop or create in situations in which they are somewhat uncomfortable or unfamiliar and are adjusting.
Now let me express to you in relation to food, food transmits energy; therefore it is not ONLY the food itself that you are consuming, especially in places that generate prepared food, such as a restaurant. For in that, what you are consuming is not only the food but the energy of the individuals that are preparing the food, and the energy in that location, and all of that is absorbed into the food.
Therefore, at times it may not necessarily be that the food itself is bad, but – although at times that can also be a factor, but in this time framework presently in your world, in the places that you would visit it would be rare. But your body can react to that significant change in energy that you are not accustomed to in areas that you reside, and even within your own country. The energy of the individuals that prepare your food is similar and you are accustomed to it, and in that, it is familiar to you and your body consciousness is unlikely to react, unless you are considerably uncomfortable. BUT in places that you deem to be foreign, especially new, that you have not visited prior, and you are unfamiliar with the energy of that area, and perhaps unfamiliar with the culture – and even unfamiliar with the foods. Even if you can identify them, they are different than they are expressed in your own country, for the foods are grown differently in each culture.
Whether they be animal food sources or otherwise, they are all grown differently and nurtured with different energy. And in that, it can create a reaction of the body consciousness in which it is attempting to adjust to the new environment and all of the different energies, and when you ingest food, now you are expressing a communication to your body consciousness. Not only is it adjusting to all of the outside energy, but you are placing concentrations of energy INTO it and expecting it to assimilate that immediately, and at times it may be too much.
ANON: Okay.
ELIAS: And in that, were I to offer advice to travelers I would express the suggestion to them that the first day that they incorporate in a new area that they eat lightly, for that allows the body consciousness to assimilate in a more natural manner rather than onslaughting it and overwhelming it with all of these differences.
ANON: Wow. Who knew? (Laughs)
ELIAS: Now you do. (All laugh)
ANON: Now I know – exactly! Okay, that's good. I will remember that, because I like traveling and I intend to do it.
Okay. Let me see what else I wanted to talk about. Is my energy lightening up as time goes by?
ELIAS: Yes.
ANON: For as long as I've known you?
ELIAS: Oh yes.
ANON: Oh good. I thought so. (All laugh) [Inaudible] lighter. I have an natural serious side, you know? And it's very hard for me to… And it’s natural, right? So I have to check it all the time. (Elias chuckles)
My mom died a couple of months ago. How is she doing? I’m assuming she does not yet know?
ELIAS: Correct.
ANON: Okay. I have some dreams about her. Am I reaching out to her, or is she creating an environment that I'm in, you know what I mean? Like a...
ELIAS: Both.
ANON: Both. Okay.
ELIAS: Yes. And in the time framework before an individual remembers their death, it is very common for individuals to connect with that individual through dreams and even in objective waking state at times through different actions. The individual that has died is not yet entirely aware of how they are projecting energy to individuals that they know or love, BUT they automatically are open for they think they ARE interacting with you. They have the image of you, and therefore they think that they are continuing to be interactive with you in a natural manner and without any of the distractions that led to their death. And in that, their energy is significantly strong, and it is not unusual for individuals within physical focus to be aware of them: to be aware of their energy, to be interacting with them in dreams, to be noticing different expressions in their environment that they would associate with that individual.
Eventually there may be a point in which that interaction seems to stop or lessen temporarily. That is generally the time framework in which the individual is beginning – initially beginning – to notice the holes and they are not quite certain what to do with them or how to use them, and therefore they incorporate a tendency to hold back their energy VERY briefly. And once they discover what to do with these holes, THEN you will begin to notice and feel a stronger influx of energy IF you are open to it. Not every individual is, and therefore not every individual notices, but if you are paying attention and you WANT to be interactive, at that time it will become stronger, for they are much more self-directing and recognize their own ability to be interactive in that manner.
ANON: Okay. And my husband, who died in 2009, has he moved on (laughs) after whatever happens after they have made other choices or whatever happens, or has he realized that he's… ?
ELIAS: Not yet; playing.
ANON: He's playing? Oh yeah, that’s so him. (Laughs) Okay.
ELIAS: It becomes a considerable fascination for many of them. Most individuals, when they discover that they can manipulate their reality in whatever manner they choose, and that they can configure it in any manner that they choose, and include expressions other than what they knew in this reality but that they can incorporate other realities also and that they can manipulate all of that, ...
ANON: That's fun!
ELIAS: …that does hold their attention for a time framework.
ANON: Yes, I can imagine. How come we can't do that here? And you're going to say “You can,” right? (Laughing) Okay.
ELIAS: And in like manner it is merely a matter of discovery. They do not know that they can do that either initially.
ANON: All right. (Laughs, and Elias chuckles)
Colors: I’ve never asked about essence and focus colors. I would say sort of a teal green and maybe purple-y.
ELIAS: For what?
ANON: I would say purple-y red for essence and the teal green for focus.
ELIAS: Correct.
ANON: Yes? Excellent. And the purple, is it a lighter purple or would it be a darker burgundy-ish or a lighter... ?
ELIAS: More in the middle, more an in-between medium type of purple, a violet color, not quite as bright as lavender or orchid but not as dark as aubergine.
ANON: Aubergine. (Laughs) Okay, perfect.
Romy Schneider: is she a focus of my essence? She was an actress, ‘50s, ‘60s, maybe ‘70s? German actress?
ELIAS: Yes.
ANON: She was? Ah!
ANN: Cool!
ANON: Kudos to Dawn, or Mark. Is that affecting at all of my relationship currently with my son? Because her son died, I guess I don't know how, he fell out a window or something and he died by a fence, impaled himself. From what little history I know that I've read on the internet, I don't think she ever recovered from that. He was a teenager. I read about that, like I felt horrible, you know, and I could just FEEL that that's something that would be really hard to recover from. And I think she just sort of… or you can probably tell me if this is true whether she just sort of gave up on life after that, she just lost her motivation or her… You know what I mean? And just went through the motions?
ELIAS: (Pause) No.
ANON: No? Okay.
ELIAS: An individual can move into a considerable despair, and that is not the same as giving up or being unmotivated, for maintaining that despair does require a significant amount of motivation and concentration. And in that, what I would express is that it overshadows every other expression when an individual moves in that type of direction, and that becomes their focus, so to speak. It becomes their motivation, it becomes their attention, in which the individual, in a manner of speaking, derives a certain factor of satisfaction in that despair, and that is one of the reasons that they maintain it. It becomes a new purpose, in a manner of speaking.
ANON: Yeah. Yikes. Okay. (Laughs)
I guess we should let Gina – Liliana?... I don't think she's ever asked, but we figured out all her statistics (laughing) and we want to run it by you. We think Sumari/Ilda, emotional, common.
ELIAS: Correct.
ANON: Correct. And yesterday we went to Ostia, an old Roman city on the coast there. It's some archaeological ruins. Do we all, the four of us, have focuses there at the same time or around the same time period?
ELIAS: Yes.
ANON: In Ostia.
GINA: Who is the slave and who is the [inaudible]?
ANON: Yes. (Laughter) And I was just thinking, in what capacity, in what roles? Was there a servant and a soldier, or which… ? Were we all known to each other?
ELIAS: All slaves.
ANON: All slaves. (Laughs) Yeah, I know. (All laugh) God, was I royalty anytime? (All laugh) Was I ever a fairy princess? (Laughter) Okay.
GINA: No wonder we're done with this reality sometimes.
ANON: Yeah, it's like, “Honestly!” (Elias chuckles) I heard she was beautiful though, right? Were slaves seriously mistreated back in the day, or did they perceive themselves to be?
ELIAS: THAT would be the question, …
ANN AND GINA: Yeah.
ANON: Yes, I would assume, but...
ELIAS: …as to whether they PERCEIVED themselves to be considerably mistreated, and I would express not necessarily.
Individuals even to this day, in many situations, express in the direction of accepting their lot in life, and therefore do not necessarily question it. That is their position, that is their role, and they accept that. And in that, they do not necessarily perceive themselves as being downtrodden or less than, and are not necessarily envious of the individuals that may express more privilege, for they concentrate on different importances and different expressions of value. And therefore, they are appreciative of what THEY value and would not necessarily want to exchange that for different values. Therefore I would not necessarily express that these individuals were perceiving themselves as mistreated or abused – no, not necessarily.
ANON: Well, good.
Actually I’ve got a focus question. Was I ever royalty of some sort? I had an impression, rather strong; it was really quick, too, about… I was in a position where I actually felt not necessarily the burden but the obligation, the compulsion that I had to take care of my subjects. Like it's something that I don't perceive in my life but it was real, it was strong, and it was my truth that it was my JOB to make sure my people were taken care of. And it was like there's no doubt, no question, it was just what I was there for, you know what I mean? So was I in that position?
ELIAS: Yes.
ANON: Was it England?
ELIAS: Scotland.
ANON: Scotland! Ooh, Scotland. Could you... ? Not Mary's, no.
ELIAS: 1400s, also 1200s...
ANON: Oh geez.
ELIAS: (Slowly) Also China within the third century, also approximately 100 years BC, also Japan, ...
ANN: Wow! You got around.
ELIAS: ...approximately 400 years BC. Also a landlord in Egypt, approximately 200 years BC.
ANON: Holy cow! 1400, 1200 in Scotland. Did we know each other, Elias, in Scotland?
ELIAS: In one of those focuses, yes.
ANON: One of those? Okay. Remember I asked, you were a teacher of mine, or I was an apprentice of yours in many lifetimes. Would that be one of them?
ELIAS: No.
ANON: No? Okay. Was I ever a teacher of yours?
ELIAS: Once.
ANON: Once? Cool!
ANN: That’s kind of cool.
[Inaudible exchange and laughter]
ANON: I was probably mean. (More laughter) And in what capacity? Was it a variety of subjects that you were a teacher of me for, or was it mostly in like magical arts?
ELIAS: The latter.
ANON: Magical arts and stuff?
ANN: Yeah. I could see that too.
ANON: Was I ever any good?
ELIAS: Yes.
ANON: [Inaudible] (Laughing) I must have lost it. (Elias chuckles) Whatever I learned, it's gone now. (Elias chuckles) But okay, cool. Can you give me a hint as to the time framework, and is it researchable?
ELIAS: Mythologically, perhaps.
ANON: Mythologically; okay.
ELIAS: Not necessarily historically.
ANON: Okay.
ELIAS: Many of those types of focuses are not necessarily well known historically, but the stories of them become myths.
ANON: Like Merlin?
ELIAS: Yes.
ANON: King Arthur, that whole Camelot thing. Okay. Well, I'll see if I get a feeling for it, and hopefully it just comes to me because I overcomplicated it. (Laughs, and Elias chuckles) I’ve got a lot of work to do there.
I’m going through my whole list. (Pause) Have I had many lifetimes with my son?
ELIAS: Yes.
ANON: Okay. I thought so. Is one of those in Egypt?
ELIAS: Yes.
ANON: He was a king and I was his consort or something? Or I was… under his thumb, basically?
ELIAS: Yes.
ANON: Yes. Okay.
ELIAS: Not necessarily a king; a lord.
ANON: A lord; he was a lord, okay. Yeah, I had that impression when he was much younger.
And how is he doing? That's a good question. How is he? I feel very comfortable with his direction in life and what he's… Well… you know what I mean? (Laughing) He's just gonna do what he does, whether… you know? And I insert my opinion, and I know sometimes he listens to me and sometimes he doesn't and stuff, but I think he's on a pretty good path from what I can see. Would you agree? He’s, you know, 20s, he can makes decisions – hopefully not some bad ones. But just relax and keep going, doing what I'm doing?
ELIAS: Yes. What is your concern?
ANON: Oh, I don't know. I don't really have a strong concern, but he wants to be independent fast. He wants to move out, and he wants to express his independence and he's going to be poor. He's not even working right now, and he's not thinking practically, right? And the math doesn’t always add up (laughing) when you’re thinking, “Okay, I've got this much money, this much is going to be rent, this much is going to be that.” Because I was there once. I just want to make it easier for him, right? And I’ll just express that and just see what he chooses to do, right?
ELIAS: Yes.
ANON: Okay.
ELIAS: And remind yourself that this is his journey.
ANON: Uh-huh.
ELIAS: Not that you do not care, but that it is his journey, ...
ANON: Yeah.
ELIAS: …and that just as in many situations, you learned through adversity, …
ANON: Yeah.
ELIAS: ...he will also.
ANON: Good. I had a psychic tarot card reader, I had an incident a couple of weeks ago, and before I even sat down she got the impression all about my son, basically, and said that she could see him being very successful in precious metals or precious gems. Is there any validity to that? Which, he has no interest… Well, as far as I know there's no interest or anything like that. And she said she had good impressions about him because he likes to be good looking, he likes to dress nice, he likes to be in all the preppy and stuff and image. So she mentioned THAT right away, and so maybe these other impressions also valid.
ELIAS: There's a possibility.
ANON: Okay.
ELIAS: I would express that it was more of an interpretation of an image projection, an image projection of appearance, wanting to APPEAR to be affluent.
ANON: Okay.
ELIAS: And translating that into what you in your time framework value and equate with affluence. As to the actual interaction with the metals or stones themselves, or the production of them, not as much.
ANON: Okay.
ELIAS: It is possible. There is somewhat of a potential that he could develop an interest in that direction, not that the interest would necessarily be arising from the metals or the stones themselves but from what they can produce and the financial aspect of it and the draw of that. That would be more likely.
ANON: Yeah.
ELIAS: But there is somewhat of a possibility or potential that he could move in that direction motivated by the financial aspect of it.
ANON: Will he be successful financially? I know he's strongly motivated to, but I guess time will tell?
ELIAS: Precisely. It is always the individual's choice, and in that you can generate tremendous potentials and not use them. Or, you can create and INVENT new potentials and new talents, and I would express that it is a matter of developing and then maintaining his confidence, and confidence in what he can accomplish.
ANON: Okay.
ELIAS: Not necessarily what he wants, or who he is, but in what he can actually accomplish. And in that, yes there is a potential for him to be considerably successful, but once again that is his choice. It is dependent upon what he does and how he uses his talents, and whether he remains focused and not distracted. He does incorporate a tendency to be distracted.
ANON: Yes. (Elias chuckles) He gets that from me. (Laughs) I know.
ANN: Yes.
ANON: Oh well.
Can we talk a little bit more about dispersion or being dispersed and non-dispersed and stuff? No specific questions, but if you're dispersed and you don't know the barriers so that you are basically are everyone, right? You know what I mean? So, I'm trying to create a boundary between different focuses of my essence. Okay, I have an essence as focuses, right? But because if you're dispersed then you can relate or you can be anybody, you know what I'm saying? You can feel into anybody. I'm saying this badly.
So, essence would just be a particular person, a tone, right? Like a tone, like a musical note would distinguish myself from others. Okay, so, all right. If I wanted to have an experience of some historical figure that had absolutely nothing to do with my essence or anything like that, I could feel into that person anyway, right?
ANN: Easier than a non-dispersed?
ELIAS: Not necessarily, no.
ANON: No. Okay. Because I'm still not quite sure what... that identity. I was talking to Magda also, and she goes, “I don't know what my identity is.” And I'm thinking, “I'm very much like you. If you put me in a room with all my focuses, I wouldn't know if I could identify those as myself.”
ELIAS: Precisely.
ANON: Yeah.
ELIAS: And that would not be different from an individual that is not dispersed.
ANON: Okay.
ELIAS: That is not (slight pause) a significant or accurate manner to define or distinguish a dispersed individual from a non-dispersed individual. How it translates into physical focus in your experience, in your individual lifetime, is not necessarily that you can tap into any other focus of yourself any easier than a non-dispersed individual. That is entirely dependent upon what is important to you and what you are paying attention to, and what you allow yourself to connect to or not.
The most significant difference in DISPLAY between these two different expressions is generally involuntary. It is unintentional. Meaning, for the most part individuals that are not dispersed, they may incorporate moments, occasionally, in which they may be responding to another energy that is not their own. They will generally attribute it to themselves, but in most situations a dispersed individual will also. But in that, the most obvious expression of this is if you allow yourself to think about or evaluate experiences that you have had, if you are a non-dispersed individual you may incorporate moments, or time frameworks, in which there is a considerably noticeable – or even strong – feeling occurring within yourself and you have no identification for it.
And the non-dispersed individual will automatically be questioning, “Did something happen and I was not necessarily recognizing how much that was affecting of me?” And then they evaluate and they express, “No. Am I remembering something and I cannot identify it? No.“ And it will seem strange to them that the feeling is so noticeable but unidentifiable that they cannot define the source of it. But generally it will also dissipate relatively quickly, meaning that they may be experiencing that for (slight pause) between a few minutes and perhaps in an extreme for half an hour, but generally speaking that would be the extent of it. And it does not occur frequently, but occasionally. And when I express occasionally, it can genuinely be occasionally such as an individual may incorporate that type of experience once in a year.
A DISPERSED individual, CONVERSELY, generally will feel or experience that in varying degrees almost on a daily basis – and many of them do on a daily basis. The more OPEN the individual is – and understand, that is not a determination of whether the individual incorporates fear or not; it is merely a determination of whether the individual is being naturally open or not – they may experience that several times within a day. They may experience it many times within a day. And dependent upon what they are doing, in different situations, if there are many individuals around them they may feel it more consistently and more often than if they are alone. Being alone does not STOP it, but it can lessen the intensity and it can lessen the frequency. It does not automatically; it can.
ANON: Okay.
ELIAS: Generally speaking, dispersed individuals do not automatically know how to buffer out other energies. Non-dispersed individuals do that automatically.
ANON: So is there a way I can learn to buffer it if I recognize, “It's not mine; slam down the gates around me!” ? (Laughs)
ELIAS: It will automatically occur by noticing.
ANON: Okay.
ELIAS: It is not necessary to incorporate any specific or elaborate methods. Being aware is your greatest method and your greatest tool. That is a difficulty with most individuals that are dispersed, is that they are not aware of the difference between their energy and any other energy. They are not familiar with identifying…
Most of you are not. “What is MY energy? How does MY energy FEEL to me?” When you know the difference between your energy and some other outside energy, generally speaking, that is all that is required. You will automatically generate that buffer – unless you WANT to experience the other energies, and some individuals do. But if you do NOT want to, if they are distressing or distracting to you, then it is a matter of merely being aware of what is your energy and what is not. And in that, being aware you can dismiss the other energies and not pay attention to them.
That is the greatest tool, for this is what dispersed individuals generally do: they pay attention to the feelings. This is what most individuals do in general, which is the reason that I continue to offer information about feelings and their purpose and their design and what to do with them and what not to do with them. And dispersed individuals pay attention to every OTHER energy and how THAT feels, and concentrate so much on the feelings that it becomes very distracting and interruptive and distressing, and to some individuals even frightening. For most of you generate considerable expressions of control, and that feels out of control.
But that is the most significant difference. It is not necessarily that a dispersed individual incorporates more of an ability to tap into any other areas of consciousness or focuses or dimensions – no, not necessarily. Or that you can be more aware of the experiences of other focuses or even of other individuals – no, not necessarily, for non-dispersed individuals use their empathic sense more, which, in a manner of speaking, creates the same effect. BUT a non-dispersed individual uses their empathic sense intentionally, rather than it merely occurring randomly. Whereas with you, other energies are always present.
With all of you, other energies are always present, and you are always receiving other energies. With non-dispersed individuals, they automatically do not necessarily pay attention to all of those energies; therefore, they are not as affecting of them. Generally speaking it must be an energy that is physically present with them and interactive with them, OR one that they are familiar with, and in that situation, physical proximity is not necessary.
This is the difference with a dispersed individual: They do not require physical proximity ever. And they do not require even knowing what the source is of another energy; they are always open for it to be interactive, and –
ANON: Is there a purpose to that? Is that a random movement, or is that a… ?
ELIAS: There are no random movements. (All laugh)
ANON: Is it an accident of the universe? [Laughter and inaudible crosstalk] Like what would be… ? From my individual focus point of view, I’m thinking, “Okay, there is nothing for me to gain if my neighbor is having a bad day and I'm getting those feelings,” you know what I mean? Especially if I don't even KNOW my neighbor. Like I’m thinking, “Okay, there's got to be some”… Is there an advantage to the LARGER me of me?
ELIAS: Is there an advantage? No. Is it purposeful? Yes.
ANON: Okay.
ELIAS: And even in that expression, with your neighbor having a bad day, can that be a benefit? Yes it can. If you are only paying attention to the feeling, no, not necessarily.
ANON: Okay.
ELIAS: But – if you are NOT necessarily paying attention to the feeling but only as a SIGNAL, then it COULD be a benefit to you, for it is information, and any information that any individual is expressing you can benefit from, for there is some capacity within you that is similar.
And I am being very literal with that, for it matters not how different another individual can be from yourself, or how different their choices can be from what your guidelines dictate. You incorporate all those aspects also; you merely do not necessarily engage them. But – even in not engaging them, it is a benefit to you to be CLEARER in yourself in relation to your choices and what you pay attention to.
As to in essence, I would not necessarily express it as an advantage, as I expressed previously; it is a difference. In this, some essences choose to be expressing that dispersed quality (slight pause) as a difference in experience in relation to physical realities. There is no difference outside of physical realities, but within physical realities, it is choice of a different type of experience, a different type of allowance, which creates an exploration and an experimentation, in a manner of speaking, with fewer boundaries, or SLIGHTLY less separation to emphasize the POINT of separation.
An individual such as yourself appreciates separation and sees the value of it, which is a benefit, not only to you but to other individuals also, for then you project an energy automatically that influences other individuals, likely non-dispersed individuals, to not be so OPPOSING of separation, for it has its purpose.
ANON: Mm-hm. Okay.
ELIAS: That even in shifting, you are not eliminating those veils of separation ENTIRELY; you are dropping some and you are thinning others. But there is a purpose, in physical focus, for those expressions of separation and that they are not necessarily BAD. They do contribute to your individuality and to your individual empowerment of yourself, and value an importance rather than being one grain of sand on the enormous beach. You are not lost in the whole, that you ARE important as an individual. And being dispersed in relation to physical focus emphasizes that and gives you a greater appreciation for that, which you share with other individuals merely by being.
ANON: Yes. Do I have influence… ? Probably not more so than anybody else, but I notice when I influence other people, even if there’s no response from that person. The influence seems to be like a wave or something. I can feel influence [inaudible crosstalk].
ANN: You influenced me for this trip. (ANON laughs)
ELIAS: Yes!
ANN: You were like the influencer.
ELIAS: I would express it as not more than other individuals, but because you are dispersed you see it more.
ANON: Okay.
ELIAS: You notice it more.
ANON: Okay. Thank you.
ANN: Is Gina dispersed? Lilianna?
ELIAS: No.
ANN: Okay.
ANON: Okay. Well, Elias, thank you very much. That was wonderful.
ELIAS: You are very welcome.
ANON: So can you influence Mary to maybe come back to Europe in a year or two? (Group laughs)
ELIAS: That would be Michael's choice. (More laughter)
ANN: You knew that was coming.
ANON: I knew.
ELIAS: I shall be anticipating our next meeting, my dear friend, and in tremendous lovingness to you as always and great encouragement…
ANON: Thank you.
ELIAS: Au revoir.
ANON: Au revoir.
(Elias departs after 1 hour, 1-1/2 minutes)
