Participants: Mary (Michael) and Anony (Mous).
Elias arrives at 1:34 PM. (Arrival time is 16 seconds)
ELIAS: Good morning, Mous!
ANONY: Good morning, Elias! How are you?
ELIAS: As always!
ANONY: As always! (Laughing)
ELIAS: And yourself?
ANONY: I’m doing pretty good, in spite of it all! (Laughing, and
Elias chuckles) The last time we spoke, it was January 2nd, and I
was getting ready to go to court. And I did feel your energy that
day as I walked into court! I was completely relaxed. I was
not intimidated. I was not embarrassed. I was not afraid.
It was wonderful to get through that experience!
ELIAS: (Chuckling) And you have accomplished!
ANONY: Yes, and I have to go to court again tomorrow! (Laughing)
ELIAS: Ha!
ANONY: Tomorrow, I’m not exactly sure what we have to do.
I think I might have to enter a plea tomorrow. I’m hoping we can
put that off a little longer, but maybe not.
February 6, I moved out of my house because my landlord was raising
my rent and it was going to be too expensive, and I’ve been like a gypsy
ever since! (Laughing) I’ve been in three different motels, and with
two different friends, and now I’m with a third friend. I finally
found a place to live this weekend, but it’s been ... well, it certainly
has widened my perception, I’ll say that! (Laughing)
ELIAS: A creation of a new adventure!
ANONY: Yes, it has been!
ELIAS: Ha ha ha!
ANONY: Some of the time I haven’t been pleased with it at all,
and finally, it must have been about two weeks ago, when once again I needed
to go to a motel in between trying to find places to stay, and I checked
into the motel, and I sat there for 20 minutes and sort of freaked out,
and then I finally just said to myself, you know what? I trust myself.
I know that I am creating perfectly. Even though at this moment in
time it doesn’t look perfect to me, I know that I am creating perfectly,
and I trust myself, and like I’ve heard you say, I will never betray myself.
So, that sort of turned things around when I thought that, when I was sitting
there thinking about that.
For the last two weeks, I’ve been staying with someone who I haven’t
seen for ages. She used to be my mother’s best friend. Her
name is Dorothy, and she’s great, and she has an extra bedroom that I’ve
been staying in. It’s been really neat getting together with her,
having not seen her for years. I’ve been talking to her about you
a little bit, and I had the funniest experience last Sunday. I said,
“Do you want to hear one of my Elias tapes?” and she said, “Sure,” probably
just being polite. I think she WAS just being polite, because I put
it in her tape deck, and the tape deck wouldn’t play, and then it ate the
tape! (Laughing)
ELIAS: Ha ha ha ha!
ANONY: Apparently, she didn’t really want to hear it! (Laughing)
It was rather humorous. And then she went to bed, and I went out
on the patio to have a cigarette, and I’m sitting there, and I’m right
next to the kitchen window, and I look, and the kitchen light suddenly
goes on all by itself, and there’s nobody in the kitchen! (Laughing)
It was on for probably 30 or 40 seconds, and then it just went off again!
ELIAS: Ha ha ha ha! And this is your acknowledgment!
ANONY: Yes, I interpreted it that way. That’s how it felt,
and it wasn’t scary or weird. It was just kinda, oh, hi Elias! (Laughing)
ELIAS: Ha ha ha ha!
ANONY: So, I did have a couple of questions, like I want to ask
you about this latest thing with Dorothy. She is 70 going on 40 —
she has incredible energy! About ten years ago, she had a little
spot on her lung, and she had her lung removed and she almost died, and
then about five years ago, she had Legionnaire’s Disease, and she was in
the hospital for three months and she almost died from that. I guess
she is not wanting to disengage, or she’s playing with it ... I don’t know
exactly WHAT my question is! I guess my question is, number one,
what is her essence name, and do Dorothy and I have any other focuses together?
(Short pause)
ELIAS: Yes, you do participate in other focuses together, which
you may be investigating, if you are so choosing. This individual
holds the essence name of Preston....
ANONY: Preston?
ELIAS: Correct. And I shall express to you that you have
been offering yourself experiences that offer you the opportunity to objectively
view the occurrences of altering your perception, in your interactions
and within your creations individually in self.
ANONY: I’ve certainly been offering myself a lot of new experiences
lately, which HAS affected my perception. I’m always astonished at
how resilient I am! (Laughing, and Elias chuckles) Something comes
along, and it’s like, oh no, I just couldn’t possibly stand that!
And then a couple of days later, it’s like, well, this isn’t so bad! (Laughing)
ELIAS: Ha ha ha! And I shall express to you, this is all
dependent upon your perception!
Your perception is a tremendously powerful tool. It matters not
what you are creating in actual physical manifestations. Regardless
of your choice of expression, all of your creations physically change from
moment to moment. Your perception is your interpretation of all that
you create, and THIS does not necessarily change from moment to moment.
ANONY: Right. I want to ask you about my stepfather.
He’s been dead now for 25 years probably, and his name was Roger.
This will probably sound strange, but when I was about 22 — he probably
died when I was 23 — I was out with a girlfriend of mine, having a drink
at a bar, and he walked in and joined us. Then the girlfriend left,
and I was just talking and having a drink with him, and I had the feeling
that had he not been my stepfather, he would have been my lover.
Nothing like that ever happened — it was just this feeling that in some
other focus, we probably had an intimate relationship.
ELIAS: You are correct, and this is an allowance of a bleed-through
of energy.
In this, I shall express to you also, there is significance in allowing
yourself to recognize your energy and your movement within this focus,
identifying yourself in the position that you are occupying and the role
that you choose within a particular focus, in a manner of speaking.
In this, it is quite similar to the functioning of your physical body
as your physical manifestation of your attention of essence.
In this, you identify clearly your finger and you identify clearly your
leg. You do not confuse your finger with your leg, or their functions.
I have addressed many times to individuals in expressing the importance
of focusing their attention upon self, and allowing yourselves to familiarize
yourself with YOUR energy.
In this, as you do allow yourself to identify YOUR energy in THIS focus,
you may also allow yourself the distinguishment of yourself in other focuses.
This allows you the objective ability to be recognizing as you incorporate
these bleed-throughs and not become confused with the energy which is occurring,
for at times you allow bleed-throughs of energy that are being expressed
in the same manner that they are occurring and being experienced in another
focus. You may not necessarily be reconfiguring that energy.
Therefore, at times you may incorporate the same type of experience
in your focus that you are experiencing in another focus, but in this focus,
it does not fit.
ANONY: Right. I see what you’re saying.
ELIAS: Therefore, there is importance in your ability objectively
to be identifying YOUR expression of energy, and all energies that are
expressed differently in a slightly different quality.
ANONY: I’ve created some interesting imagery with my dog, and
I think I’ve actually identified what it was. I have this little
dog, and I had to put her in a kennel when I moved, and she’s been in a
kennel since February 26. I haven’t gone to see her because it will
hurt too much to see her and then leave her, and every time I’ve thought
about her, I’ve felt terrible. It’s like, oh, my poor little doggie,
she feels so abandoned, blah blah blah, and I went on and on like that.
And then one day I was driving home from work, and she was running through
my mind, and it was like, boom. I realized — or I think I realized
— that actually, those feelings that I think she’s feeling, those are my
feelings that I’ve projected onto her.
ELIAS: You are correct, and this is an example of how you “people-ize”
your creatures.
ANONY: Yes, and once I realized that, it was all better! (Laughing)
I realized that my poor little doggie was not sitting there wondering where
I am and feeling abandoned. I’m the one that’s feeling that way!
(Laughing, and Elias chuckles) Once I realized that, I didn’t feel
bad about it anymore, and in fact, I’m moving this weekend, and I’m going
to get her and have her with me! It was nice to see that!
ELIAS: I shall express to you also, this is quite common within
physical focus, that individuals draw to themselves certain creatures that
align in energy with you, and this creates an ease in exchange, that you
create this action of “people-izing.”
But this is also at times quite purposeful, for it allows you a type
of outlet of energy to be projecting in relation to the creature, which
is in agreement with you in energy and is accepting of your projection,
and may many times mirror your energy back to you.
ANONY: Huh! I’ll have to think about that with Bear.
You know, it’s funny what people say — that people end up getting dogs
that look like them, and in fact, they do sometimes, and really, what we’re
talking about now is a real logical explanation for it!
ELIAS: Quite!
ANONY: Yeah! (Laughing)
ELIAS: Many times also....
ANONY: My dog looks like me in a way, I suppose. She’s small,
and ... (laughing, and Elias chuckles). She does have my personality.
She’s kind of bitchy sometimes! (Laughing)
ELIAS: I shall express to you that many times, the personality
may be even more obviously expressed than the actual physical persona or
physical projection of appearance.
Individuals draw to themselves quite specific creatures that shall be
interactive with them individually in quite specific manners. You
shall draw to yourself creatures that shall be compliant and responsive
to your expression of orientation, and also to your choice of personality.
ANONY: The other thing I’ve created
lately that I haven’t quite figured out — I think I might know — is, my
right hand, the little finger — and the ring finger to some extent, but
mostly the little finger — about two weeks ago they started feeling like
tingly, like they were asleep. It’s not that I can’t use them — I
can. They’re not quite as ... it feels different. It’s not
paralyzed, it’s not really impaired, it’s ... well, it’s hard to explain.
But I know I created that within the context of all the stuff that’s going
on in my life now, and I’m wondering if that is to tell me or to show me
sort of a “stuckness,” like part of me having difficulty moving on and
being stuck?
ELIAS: No. This is an offering that you are providing to
yourself in physical affectingness in relation to perception.
It is an objective example that you are creating. You have chosen
the fingers as an element of your physical body that are not extremely
interruptive of your movement or your creations, but this is also an element
of your physical body that you do not afford a tremendous expression of
attention to normally.
Without actual physical affectingness of your fingers, these are extremities
that you pay little attention to.
ANONY: Right. I don’t pay attention to anything on me unless
it’s bothering me! (Laughing)
ELIAS: Quite. These fingers are also not tremendously affecting
of your mobility or your ability to be creating within your reality.
ANONY: If you’re using a computer a lot, they are! (Laughing)
ELIAS: Partially.
ANONY: I mean, I can use a computer. They just feel a little
odd, and I would like it to go away and go back to normal, which it will.
ELIAS: What I am expressing to you is that you have not immobilized
them. You have merely created a sensation that draws your attention
to their presence.
ANONY: Correct.
ELIAS: Therefore, they continue to function, but you are also
drawing your attention to an area that you do not usually afford attention.
The reason that you have created this is to be offering yourself an example,
within this time framework, of perception.
Your perception is quite influenced by your attention. It is influenced,
as you are aware, by your beliefs, but what you create through your perception
in your reality is also dependent upon your attention, for beliefs that
you are not paying attention to in certain time frameworks are less affecting
in those moments.
ANONY: Oh, I get it. Yes, right, ‘cause what you’re paying
attention to is what you’re lending energy to.
ELIAS: Quite, and what you perpetuate in your creation.
ANONY: Aha, yes.
ELIAS: As you pay attention to the sensation within your fingers,
you continue to create it.
ANONY: Ah, okay! (Laughing) Makes sense. I have always
been very healthy my entire life. I mean, I don’t get colds, I’ve
never been in an accident, I’ve never had surgery, because it’s not something
I concentrate on. I guess when I was growing up, there was never
any payoff for being ill. Once in a while I’ll start to get a cold
or something, and after about three hours I get very bored and impatient
with it. So, I’ve been lucky that way. Well, it’s not luck,
I know. I create that!
ELIAS: Ha ha ha ha!
ANONY: I much prefer to torture myself emotionally. That’s
my big thing, apparently! (Laughing)
ELIAS: HA HA!
ANONY: But it’s getting better, it’s really getting better! (Elias
chuckles) I mean, I did find a place to live, but for a while I was
looking at places and nothing was right and I was getting frustrated, and
then I realized that the reason I hadn’t found anything yet was because
what I had looked at was not what I was creating. I was creating
something more to my liking, and in fact, I did! (Laughing)
It’s kinda funny because months and months ago, I was thinking I’d really
love to move to Boulder, Colorado, and I was visualizing a room with lots
of windows and being able to see mountains and trees, and the place I’m
moving to this weekend is a share-rental. I get a bedroom, a bathroom,
and a great big front room, and the front room is all windows on one side,
and it’s got a view of mountains and trees! (Laughing) It’s not in
Boulder, but it’s got the view that I was thinking about three months ago.
ELIAS: This also is an example to you of how you may be influencing
your creations in allowing for an ease, and not PUSHING the energy.
ANONY: Yes. (Elias chuckles) Yeah, the breakthrough seemed
to come about two weeks ago, when I just decided that I might as well trust
myself because there wasn’t anybody else to trust, frankly; that I was
it, so I might as well just accept that and start using it to my advantage.
ELIAS: And I shall express to you, this also holds an element
of significance, for as you refer to this specific time framework, many,
many, many individuals have been experiencing differences, alterations,
new occurrences, extremes, within this time framework of your expression
of two weeks.
ANONY: Oh, the last two weeks?
ELIAS: Yes. Many, many individuals are experiencing differences
within their reality, and questioning — or merely noticing — the actions
that are occurring within this time framework.
In actuality, you have created another energy surge of insertion of
this shift in consciousness into your objective awareness within this time
framework of two weeks, which is affecting of many individuals in objective
manners, in which some individuals are experiencing tremendous expressions
of conflict.
Some individuals are experiencing tremendous expressions of ease, and
may identify that elements within their reality are turning and moving
more positively, in their assessment, or....
ANONY: And that’s the way I’ve felt for the last two weeks, like
I finally started moving out of the feeling of being stuck, and things
started happening. I actually saw that I was creating something that
I had intended to create, rather than knowing I’m creating, but not objectively
understanding what I’m creating.
ELIAS: Quite.
ANONY: I’ve also noticed in the last couple of weeks that I notice
things much more, things that ... like running into somebody that I haven’t
seen for five years normally would go right by me. Now when that
happens, I stop and think, hmm! (Laughing) Because it’s like I don’t
believe in coincidences, and it seems that I’ve noticed things lately that
would ... if I pay attention, they allow me more choices.
ELIAS: You are correct, and this is a key word that is being incorporated
by many, many, many individuals within this time framework that you have
expressed, that of noticing. Many different types of expressions
are being noticed.
I shall express to you that it is not merely expressions of conflict
or ease, but many other manifestations in relation to this shift in consciousness
are being allowed expression — and the noticing of the expression — within
your objective reality.
Individuals are viewing essences. Individuals are experiencing
less of a barrier between themselves objectively and those individuals
that have disengaged physical focus. Individuals are engaging playfulness
in hide and seek with objects! (Grinning)
ANONY: (Laughing) That sounds like a fun game!
ELIAS: Ha ha ha ha! The disappearing/appearing game, (laughing)
within the alteration of physical matter!
Individuals are experiencing many occurrences within this time framework
in relation to this shift in consciousness, as you are creating surges
of energy to be thrusting this shift into your objective awareness and
reality.
Therefore, this creates a movement of energy which is lending much of
an ease to these types of expressions, although in some situations, these
expressions are also creating elements of trauma, as individuals confuse
themselves and create expressions of fear in relation to what they are
participating within.
You may also be noticing within this time framework, individuals may
appear to be encountering what they assess as extraterrestrials more often.
ANONY: Ah, yes. Hmm. I’ve never experienced that.
I’ve never seen it. I guess it’s just not something I’m terribly
interested in. I’m not drawn to that, particularly.
ELIAS: And this matters not. You shall allow yourself to
participate in the insertion of elements into your objective reality in
which you hold your attention and which lend energy to an ease in the choices
that YOU are creating.
But I may express that you may encounter stories from other individuals
that may objectively appear quite bizarre, and they are in actuality occurring
presently! Ha ha ha!
ANONY: The place that I’m moving this weekend, the guy that owns
it is 52, and he’s a sports editor for the local newspaper, and he’s got
an 18-year-old son. I have my own private space, but there will be
interaction, and I guess it’s for my benefit and theirs. Otherwise,
we wouldn’t be doing it, huh! (Laughing)
ELIAS: Correct. In this, you offer yourself many opportunities
in this creation, of interaction and also in the opportunity to be paying
attention to self — to your behavior, to your creations, and to your choices
in this environment, so to speak.
ANONY: I’ve noticed my behavior a lot in the last couple of months,
because having stayed with a couple different people, I’ve noticed that
as time has progressed, I have become a much better guest! (Laughing)
In other words, I’m more aware of other people and what their preferences
are. It happens to be their house! It’s nice to follow their
preferences. They appreciate that.
ELIAS: Ah. This also allows you the opportunity, in interaction
with other individuals, to be noticing of self and to be noticing of YOUR
preferences also.
ANONY: Yes. I thought I had my preferences down pretty well,
but the first place I stayed turned out to be a disaster. One of
the guys was using some kind of drug, and it was something that affected
him so that he was really pretty scary, and that’s why I left there.
Plus, it was uncomfortable. It was like, I know I was judging him
a whole bunch and I know he was judging me a whole bunch, and we would
smile at each other and try to make small talk, but in reality, the judgmental
feelings and the conflict that was below the surface were so loud that
it just didn’t feel good. (Elias chuckles)
ELIAS: In this, it is helpful information that you offer to yourself
in allowing yourself to be noticing of your behavior in interaction with
other individuals, for this allows you the opportunity to be examining
and understanding the differences within perceptions.
It also lends to your movement into the expression of acceptance of
other individuals AND of yourself, for the key element in all of these
experiences is that you are allowing yourself an exploration of yourself
and of how you create your reality individually, even in conjunction with
other individuals.
This is quite purposeful, for it allows you to be eliminating many different
expressions of conflict within your focus, as you allow yourself to become
familiar with your preferences but also with your perception, and recognizing
that other individuals engage difference in perception, which also creates
differences in preferences, recognizing also that none of these perceptions
or preferences are right or wrong. They are merely different, and
you may be accepting of those differences and also simultaneously continue
to hold your individual opinion, which is the reflection of your preferences.
This is the art of acceptance of self and acceptance of other individuals
simultaneously.
ANONY: Yes, I guess it does begin with self, and this thing for
me, this whole experience, has been the biggest test of acceptance of self
I’ve ever faced in my entire life! And it’s getting better.
I mean, I’m not one hundred percent there, but it’s certainly getting better,
and like I said, tomorrow I have to go to court, and I’m not looking forward
to that again, but....
ELIAS: And you shall be well....
ANONY: I shall be well. I know I shall.
ELIAS: And you are not striving to be better! I shall reiterate
this once again. You already are! You are merely creating choices
moment by moment, and in this, you are not striving to be better.
You are allowing yourself to explore.
ANONY: Yes. It sure is confusing though, because those of
us with physical focuses frequently don’t have a clue as to why we create
what we create! It would be much nicer to be sitting on some cloud
somewhere without a physical body, where you’re subjectively aware of what’s
going on, because down here ... I think of it as down here. Here,
it is very confusing. (Elias chuckles) It’s VERY confusing!
ELIAS: But I shall express to you, the more that you familiarize
yourself with your perception and with yourself, the less confusing it
shall become.
ANONY: And just when we finally figure the whole thing out, then
we don’t have to do it anymore, huh! (Laughing)
ELIAS: HA HA HA HA!
ANONY: Because there would be no point, would there?
ELIAS: Not necessarily! You may choose to be continuing
in your exploration for the experience of the exploration, which in actuality
IS what you are creating. But you complicate this exploration in
confusing your information input — your emotions and your intellect, which
offer you information input. But you confuse these through the influence
of your beliefs, and therefore you complicate your exploration.
But as you familiarize yourself with yourself and you offer yourself
more of an expression of trust and acceptance, you also are influencing
of your perception, in turning your perception in the direction of viewing
your reality AS an exploration rather than a learning experience.
ANONY: Right, ‘cause if it’s a learning experience, that means
that there’s something missing, that you haven’t got it yet! (Laughing)
ELIAS: This is correct, and as you view your reality through your
perception to be a learning experience, you also view other individuals
to hold more knowledge, more ability than yourself....
ANONY: Or less! (Laughing)
ELIAS: Or less. You create judgments upon yourself and upon
other individuals. You are continuously striving, as you have stated,
to become better, to accomplish more, to be expressing in more of an adequate
manner. But if you are merely exploring, there is no need to be better
in your exploration. You are exploring in adventure!
ANONY: Yes. I’ll try to keep that attitude in mind.
It would certainly change your perception, if that’s the way you view it.
ELIAS: Yes!
ANONY: It would change your perception of your creations if you
view it that way, quite a bit!
ELIAS: And this, in actuality, alters the entirety of your reality.
ANONY: Yes. Well, I hope that just because this is my final
focus, I don’t have to go to jail! (Laughing)
ELIAS: Ha ha ha ha!
ANONY: I mean, is this a requirement? (Laughing) I’ve never
done this before!
ELIAS: No, this is not a requirement. This is a choice!
Ha ha ha!
ANONY: (Laughing) Well,
I think that’s it. Oh, one more question. My ex-husband Jack,
who is my very, very good friend, he’s so funny because every time I mention
you, he gets really upset after a while. He says, “When you talk
about Elias, it just makes me sick.” He has a real strong reaction,
but yet, a lot of the belief systems, he has. I guess what my question
about Jack is ... and I can answer my own question. I want to know
if we have other focuses, and yeah, we do.
ELIAS: You are correct! Ha ha ha!
ANONY: So, that’s all of my questions. Is there anything
that you would like to say to me that I haven’t asked already?
ELIAS: Let me offer to you also, in relation to this individual
that you identify as your ex-partner, but your continued friend....
ANONY: Right! (Laughing, and Elias chuckles)
ELIAS: In this, allow yourself to be noticing your interaction
and your behavior in that interaction, and to be noticing your motivation
in relation to the information that you offer, for this may be helpful
to you in practicing in relation to other individuals also.
As you incorporate an excitement in engaging conversation and interaction
with myself, you view this to be quite positive and beneficial, and in
that assessment, you incorporate an excitement that you wish to be sharing
with other individuals.
Now; be aware, I am not expressing that there is any element of this
expression that is wrong. Simultaneously, I offer to you the suggestion
that you examine the motivation in the projection of energy in the offering
of information to other individuals.
I am not expressing to you that you not be offering information to other
individuals. This is defeating of the point. But I AM expressing
to you that as individuals present you with energy and expressions that
are not necessarily compliant or in agreement with what you are expressing,
examine your motivation in your continuing in your pursuit.
ANONY: Yes. Before you said the word continuing, that was
the word that just popped into my mind too. (Laughing, and Elias chuckles)
If you’ve already expressed and they are very definitely not interested,
why would you continue to do that?
ELIAS: Let me also express to you that many times you move yourself
into narrow pathways, so to speak, of expressions. You continue to
be offering expressions in similar directions which may not necessarily
be received by another individual willingly.
ANONY: Yes, right!
ELIAS: But you hold the ability to be expressing interaction with
other individuals in harmony in many, many, many different manners.
Let me explain to you, you may allow yourself to view that many other
individuals are in actuality moving in very similar directions to yourself.
They are merely viewing it through their perception — which is different
from your perception — and offer themselves information in different manners.
This is not to say that you may not be interactive with them or communicative
with them in sharing your information between you, for you are experiencing
and moving very similarly. You are merely interpreting it differently.
ANONY: Right. I see what you mean.
ELIAS: Therefore, conceptually and theoretically, you may be moving
in a particular direction, and your friend may be moving in a very similar
direction. Your words may be incorporated differently. Your
language between you may be offered differently. Your interpretation
of your experiences may be offered slightly differently, but underlyingly
there is a commonality of movement, and you may find that commonality as
you allow yourself to widen your awareness within your perception, recognizing
that difference is not necessarily disharmony.
ANONY: Yes. With Jack, basically there’s a lot of commonality.
It’s just that sometimes, my particular words set him off, and I don’t
need to do that. I almost kinda do it on purpose, I think! (Laughing)
ELIAS: Ha ha ha ha!
ANONY: I mean, that’s why he’s my ex-husband! We never
did agree on anything! (Laughing) Well, we did on many levels, but
he’s a very opinionated person, and I’m an opinionated person. But
he makes a great friend, as long as I don’t have to be with him 24 hours
a day! (Laughing)
ELIAS: Ha ha! But you may also allow yourself to be recognizing
the challenge that occurs between the two of you, and this be one of the
reasons that you draw to each other.
ANONY: Yes. Oh, I had a dream — it was the most interesting
thing — about him, and in the dream ... it was just a common, everyday
dream. It wasn’t a big, exciting thing. But in the dream, I
was still married to him, and in the dream, part of me woke up and said,
aha! This is an alternate self that didn’t divorce Jack.
ELIAS: Ah! And I shall be acknowledging of you that this
IS what you have allowed yourself to view.
ANONY: It was so interesting because I was asleep, but I was awake.
I mean, I was aware, and I said to myself in the dream, aha! Now
I understand alternate selves! It’s like, whenever this focus of
Anony decides to make an abrupt left, there is an Anony that didn’t make
an abrupt left.
ELIAS: You are correct.
Now; I shall express to you a clarification. This is in actuality
a probable self, which does hold a difference to alternate selves.
ANONY: Okay. I guess I’m confusing probable and alternate.
There was just a transcript where you explained it. I’m gonna have
to go back and read that transcript.
ELIAS: (Chuckling) But in this viewing, you have allowed
yourself the opportunity to recognize the action of probable selves, and
the creation, in those turns that you identify or those choices in your
direction, in which you also create a type of offspring, which is a probable
self within a probable reality.
ANONY: I used to live in Los Angeles, in southern California,
and I moved up to northern California about 20 years ago, and I frequently
have dreams of me still living in Los Angeles, and I would guess that I
have a probable self that’s down in Los Angeles that decided not to move
to northern California.
ELIAS: You are correct.
ANONY: There must be hundreds and thousands of each of us!
ELIAS: There are countless!
ANONY: Countless — whoa! (Elias chuckles) That makes me
feel very powerful!
ELIAS: Very large!
ANONY: Yeah!
ELIAS: Ha ha ha ha!
ANONY: Well, that’s all the questions I have. It was really
nice talking to you, and I look forward to talking to you again.
ELIAS: And I also, and I shall offer to you my expression of energy
once again, in like manner to our previous encounter.
ANONY: Thank you.
ELIAS: I shall continue to be encouraging of you and I shall continue
to offer energy to you, as you continue in your adventure and your exploration!
(Laughing)
ANONY: Thank you!
ELIAS: And I may express to you also that you may be choosing
to be noticing of this tingling of fingers subsequent to your choice to
disengage this action in your creation, for I may be choosing to be interactive
with you and offering a physical sensation of this tingling to be reminding
you of my presence.
ANONY: Oh, okay. That’s in case there are no light bulbs
around?
ELIAS: HA HA! I may always be incorporating electricity!
ANONY: So, did you cause the recorder to eat the tape, or was
it Dorothy’s energy, who really didn’t want to hear it? (Laughing)
ELIAS: This was not my expression.
ANONY: Okay, I didn’t think so.
ELIAS: I may be crediting myself with the affectingness of your
electrical light, but not with the destruction of your tape. Ha ha!
I express to you great affection. I anticipate our next meeting.
Proceed in playfulness!
To you this day, quite lovingly, au revoir.
ANONY: Thanks. Bye.
Elias departs at 2:29 PM.
