Gem of the Month

The Gem of the Month is a regular feature that provides an excerpt from a recent transcript that captures a snapshot of essential Elias.

This month’s gem is taken from the group session in Santa Clarita, California.

ELIAS: “I may express to you quite literally, the expression of the signal of anger is the feeling that is incorporated in the emotion which is communicating to you that you are denying ALL of your choices in that moment. You are not viewing any of your choices. Frustration is an expression in which you recognize that you incorporate choice but you are not quite sure objectively of which manner to maneuver your energy to generate choice.

“Anger is an extreme of frustration in which you move your association from the knowing that you do incorporate choice to an expression in which you view you no longer incorporate any choice and your attention AUTOMATICALLY projects outward and you become victim, for your attention thusly is projected outward to situations or scenarios or other individuals, and as I have stated, even objects, in which your association is expressing to you that this expression outside of you is generating choice for you and you no longer incorporate choice, or that it is dictating to you and you no longer incorporate choice. And this is quite significant. For as you are aware, I have expressed previously, worry and guilt may be the two expressions that almost are a waste of energy – for there is no waste of energy – but the lack of choice, the lack of your allowance of choice and denying choice to yourself, is so very contrary to the movement in natural flow of essence and of consciousness that this be the one expression that shall cause essence to weep ... and this is what generates anger. Therefore, in the moments in which you are experiencing that signal, recognize that the message that you are offering to yourself in that signal is that you are denying your choices and you are expressing to yourself that you incorporate no choice. Therefore offer yourself choice, and the signal shall dissipate and disappear.” [session 997, January 27, 2002]

Monthly Musings - Congratulations on Surpassing 1000 Transcripts!

Last month we explored a very useful exercise – NIRAA – to help cope with the stress of the holiday season. This month we’re going to honor the immense effort by many folks who remain mostly behind the scenes, but have put in countless hours to make the Elias transcripts available on the Internet.

As many of you know, Vicki Pendley, whom Elias affectionately called his scribe, marshaled the transcribing and disseminating of the Elias transcripts from late 1995 until her sudden passing two years ago (12/06/01). Vic developed the current format that produced the first 764 transcripts and set the whole shebang in motion.

Mary Jane Gilcrease proofread the transcripts for several years during the early days. MJ had an eagle eye that ensured a minimum of typos. Unfortunately, she also passed away suddenly in February, 2002.

Together, Vic and MJ’s legacy lives on in the transcripts, families, and friends. So we offer a heartfelt “thank you” and “we miss you” in their honor as we roll in the new year!

As it turned out, Vicki had groomed a successor who was already helping in various ways to transcribe and create a wonderful set of resources (indexes, compilations, etc.) available in our Library. Enter Bobbi Houle who took over the reins in 2002 and continues to oversee the transcription process.

This past month the forum published session 1003! That is a huge milestone, as the Transcript archive now surpasses an estimated 12,000 pages! That’s the equivalent of forty 300-page books! The Digest archive now surpasses an estimated 4,500 pages – the equivalent of fifteen 300-page books! Also, David Tate and Gail Becker recently self-published the first Elias book (see below). All in all, 2003 was an auspicious year.

Many hours have also been volunteered by Paul Tews, Margot Reed, Daryl Horton, Fran Wing, and Donna Friedman in transcribing. Furthermore, many folks have begun to transcribe preliminary drafts of their sessions and send them to Bobbi, making her job a bit easier.

Gerhard Fuchs has made the Elias transcripts available on his Austrian website since 1998. Gerhard has also hosted group sessions and runs the Elias email list (see below).

Luana Alika has continued her work on the Sessions Overviews (now up to 649) as well as A Glossary of Terms, all found in the Library.

Rodney Davidson has taken hundreds of pictures, many are available on Gerhard’s website, and all are waiting to appear in the Library some day. Sheri LoBello and Carter Massie have also contributed pictures to the database.

Ron and Cathy Churchman’s contributions are too numerous to list here, but include maintaining the video and DVD archive. They have participated in the forum since mid-1995. Ron’s responsible for video taping sessions (beginning with session 8, May 21, 1995!). He also helped to set Mary up to videotape her phone and group sessions in 1998. Also, Cathy creates and mails the audio tapes used by transcribers, among other things.

Kudos go out to the folks who did the behind the scenes work to host group sessions in 2003: Lynda Symans, K.C. Anneken, Stella Moran, Axel Schoenberger, Sherry and Sabrina LoBello, and Pat Betzhold.

Special thanks go out to the dozens of folks who take the time to send in reports of typos, broken links, and suggestions! Your contributions help us to maintain accurate and up to date websites.

And to anyone we missed: we salute you! Please drop us a line and we’ll add your names and contributions.

Last but not least, many thanks to Mary Ennis for not only making this info freely available on the Internet, but having the courage to go public with her gifts and walk the talk. Thanks Mary for doing what you do! We continue to be amazed and challenged by the breadth and depth of the information offered by Elias. Speaking of whom, it goes without saying that we’re also indebted to the old ghost and all the other ghosts who make the energy exchange possible.

Jo and I wish everyone a happy, healthy, abundant, and radiant 2004 and offer our heartfelt thanks to all folks who participate in the Elias forum!
