What's New?

> Over 1.5 million webpages served!

Since opening our cyberdoors in February 2002, we have served over 1,633,100 webpages to more than 96,500 visitors in over 120 countries. We also had over 19,000 visits last month. Many thanks to all of you who continue to provide us with tremendous support, constructive suggestions, and email feedback!

> Archive Project Updates

The DVD Archive is one of those “behind the scenes” projects whose goal is to ensure that the legacy of the Elias forum continues long after we’re gone. At last count, Mary had recorded over 1,800 sessions on videotape! Since DVDs take up less space, we purchased a DVD recorder last March, and began to transfer the ’95 sessions from Ron and Cathy Churchman’s video archive. We’ve finished through session 464.

The 1995 transcripts are one third done, as we have finished through session 21. That means only 42 more to go!

Gems 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 gems are taken from Jon’s private session:

JON: “What do the Dream Walkers create?

ELIAS: Blueprints and also physical manifestations, but most of what the Dream Walkers generated was the design of this reality. The essences that chose to be physically participating in this physical reality are what generate the physical manifestations of it. For the most part, the Dream Walkers generated or created the design and the blueprint for this physical reality.

JON: So the collective takes that blueprint and uses it as a guide to manifest?

ELIAS: Correct, and this is the point that generates some confusion for many individuals in their exploration of the Dream Walkers and attempting to identify what action was incorporated by the Dream Walkers or what they actually created and in association with different essence families.

In this, the Dream Walkers, as I have stated, for the most part were not responsible for actual physical manifestations. They created the blueprint for the physical manifestations, as some individuals have questioned concerning mountains and seas and creatures. Their association is the concept of these manifestations, inventing, so to speak the idea, in your terms; although in their terms, it was not necessarily an idea, for it was not associated with objective thinking. But even thinking and that function was designed by the Dream Walkers in the blueprint of what would be manifest physically, and all of the expressions associated with physical manifestation within this particular physical dimension.

Subsequent to the creation of the blueprint, other essences chose to participate also, but to actually engage the physical manifestations of those blueprints. The Dream Walkers chose not to be physically participating, for in your terms, figuratively speaking, this was not their intent. Their intent, their preference, their interest, their curiosity was to be inventing, not necessarily engaging.

JON: Do you hold a Dream Walker aspect?

ELIAS: Yes.

JON: That means you were fragmented from a Dream Walker?

ELIAS: No. Incorporating an aspect of a Dream Walker is not necessarily directly associated with fragmentation.

Now; in a manner of speaking, indirectly it may be figuratively associated with fragmentation. For in the process of fragmentation, an aspect, in a manner of speaking, of an essence may express a desire.

Now; recognize these are figurative terms, for essences and consciousness are not entities; therefore, it is not a thing springing from another thing. But in terms of your reality and your physical understanding, it may be incorporated in your language in this manner, that a desire is generated. That desire chooses different qualities and expressions of the essence and incorporates those qualities into itself as a new essence. Therefore, it may choose to be incorporating a Dream Walker aspect.

Not all essences choose to be incorporating a Dream Walker aspect, and this is not better or worse, more enlightened or less enlightened, so to speak. It is a choice associated with this particular physical dimension. Some essences incorporate more of an interest, so to speak, and appreciation for this particular physical dimension than others, and therefore may be choosing to incorporate a Dream Walker aspect, for this aligns with the essence’s appreciation of this particular physical dimension.

Now; some essences may be participating in this physical dimension, and may even incorporate many focuses of attention in this physical dimension, but do not express the appreciation and the interest in this physical dimension as much as they may other dimensions, and therefore may choose not to be incorporating a Dream Walker aspect, for the essence may be more fascinated with other dimensions and the exploration of them than this one. Are you understanding?

JON: Yes.

ELIAS: Therefore, the incorporation of a Dream Walker aspect is merely an identification that that particular essence generates a strong interest and appreciation of this particular physical dimension, regardless of whether they incorporate many or few focuses within it.

JON: You don’t necessarily have to be fragmented from a Dream Walker in some part of your essence lineage or whatever to hold one?

ELIAS: Correct.” [session 1278, February 21, 2003]

Monthly Musings - The Ten Beliefs Systems: Perception

Last month we explored the belief system of emotions. This month we continue with an exploration of the sixth of ten core belief systems that Elias introduced in March 1999: perception.

Digests of Essential Elias relationships (interpersonal/intrapersonal = other/self)
Digests of Essential Elias duplicity (morality/ethics)
Digests of Essential Elias sexuality (sexuality/gender/orientation/preference)
Digests of Essential Elias truth (relative truths/Absolute Truth)
Digests of Essential Elias emotion (emotional/feeling)
Digests of Essential Elias perception (perceptual/attention)
Digests of Essential Elias the senses (inner/physical sensing)
Digests of Essential Elias religious/spirituality (exoteric/esoteric)
Digests of Essential Elias scientific/elements of physical reality (scientific/rational)
Digests of Essential Elias physical creation of the universe, including accidents and coincidences (creation mythos)

Elias says repeatedly that our perception is what creates our reality. In terms of cause and effect, then, our perception is both. So our beliefs about how perception works are very important, because we can use them to change our perception, though Elias focuses upon change through learning how to accept beliefs, not eliminate them.

ELIAS: “I have expressed previously that you have created these belief systems as explanations to yourselves of elements that you have forgotten, and these belief systems are an intricate part of your reality within this particular dimension and may not be eliminated. But they may be accepted, and in this acceptance you also shall be accepting of self, and in this acceptance of self you merge all of the elements of self within an objective manner to be creating of the perception of wholeness objectively, for your perception also is creating of your reality. It is influenced by your belief systems, and your perception is the aspect of yourself that is creating of your individual reality and your reality en masse, but your perception is altered within your acceptance of self. Therefore, your experience is also altered.” [session 331, October 16, 1998]

Another important aspect of perception is what Elias calls our orientation, a “language” of perception in three essential types: common, intermediate, or soft. Our beliefs about orientation color our perception even further.

ELIAS: “As you enter physical focus and physically manifest within this dimension, you choose a physical body type and function, a gender. You also choose an orientation. The orientation may fit to either gender. All three of the orientations may fit with either gender. Therefore, they cross over each other, and one does not dictate the other. This is another element of your belief system that creates great confusion within you, for as you DO identify so very strongly with genders, you confuse yourselves with orientations, for the orientations do not fit with one particular gender. They are not associated directly with each other.

“Orientation is your perception. It is what is creating your perception. Your beliefs are influencing of your perception and therefore create your perception also, but your orientation is an ingredient of your perception.

“Your perception is how you view yourself, how you view your world, how you interact with your world, how you interact with yourself, with each other, and HOW YOU CREATE YOUR REALITY. You create your reality through your perception. Perception is not visual seeing. Perception is not limited to your thought process. It is not limited to emotion. It is all-encompassing, and that element of yourself that you do not identify as a thing, for it is not your body and it is not your brain. It is that element of yourself that creates your reality, that places you in the awareness of reality within this physical dimension. It is your awareness, your objective awareness.” [session 381, April 09, 1999]

But perception is not limited to objective awareness, because subjective awareness plays an important role, too. This is what he means when he says:

ELIAS: “Perception is not the you of you. Your orientation and your emotion, in this physical manifestation – not in all of essence, but in this particular physical dimension – your perception is created by your emotion and your sexuality. Those are the elements that are the you of you, the ingredients that are what comprises you, as you know yourself physically. Your perception is created by these elements, and is that aspect of you that therefore creates your reality.” [session 381, April 09, 1999]

Further, our worth, or sense of self-esteem actually lies in the simple feeling of being or the eternal nature of our subjective awareness. Therefore, physical self-worth is not dictated by our perception or even by what we create. Our intrinsic value is in our being, regardless of what and how we perceive through objective awareness.

ELIAS: “Your worth is not dictated by the expression or opinion or perception of any other individual. Your worth is not dictated by your actions or your experiences. Therefore, your worth is not dictated by what you create. Your worth is YOU, and this is not reflected by what you create or your experiences or the opinions or the perceptions of any other individual. It is not even dictated by your own perception!” [session 427, July 19, 1999]

Moreover, our perception is relative to the beliefs we hold. This is another example of what Elias means when he says, “there are no absolutes.” For example, whether or not we find pain bad or good depends entirely on our beliefs.

ELIAS: “You may identify through your perception the definition of physical pain, and you may define this within yourself as bad, as uncomfortable, as negative; an element of your reality which you wish to be eliminating of or changing. Another individual may create physical pain within their reality, and through their perception it is identified as pleasurable, and is not viewed as a negative element or an element to be eliminated, but to be perpetuated.

“I have been expressing recently to many individuals the discussions that there are no absolutes, but you hold thought processes within your physical reality identifying certain elements of your reality as absolute.

“I am offering you information, that you may allow yourselves to be understanding that there are no absolutes. All that you create within your physical reality is dependent upon your perception, and your perception is not an absolute. It is quite changeable.” [session 472, September 19, 1999]

Our belief systems color our perception, but perception is how we actually create our realities. As such, it is more than just our beliefs! That is, our perception goes deeper than just the belief systems held by objective awareness. It is the “tool” used by subjective awareness to create objective awareness.

ELIAS: “Your perception is how you view yourself, how you view other individuals, and how you view your world and your universe.

“Your belief systems directly influence your perception, and your perception is the tool in which your create your reality.

“You all each create all of your reality. Every thought, every emotion, every event, every occurrence, every element of your reality you individually create, and all of that reality is created through your perception.

“Your perception is not your thought process. Although your thought process and your emotions hold a tremendous involvement in your perception, it is not limited to your thoughts or your emotions. This is the entirety of your view of your reality, and as I have stated, it is the tool that you engage to be creating ALL of your reality within this physical dimension.” [session 488, October 20, 1999]

What about co-creation? Elias remains consistent in saying that there is no co-creation in relation to the inviolate nature of the focus personality. Each focus creates, and no other focus can create our reality for us. When we say, “you hurt my feelings,” the opposite is actually true. We CHOOSE to feel hurt because of the beliefs we hold when someone projects hurtful energy at us.

Still, we can also say that when we all create jointly, we do co-create a collective or consensus reality. So there is a kind of co-creation in play, though Elias hammers away at the inviolate nature of each focus to create ALL its objective reality.

HOWARD: “Well, perhaps the word or the phrase ‘co-creator’ ought to be changed to participant.”

ELIAS: “You may substitute.

“This terminology of co-creator may be incorporating a TREMENDOUS avenue for misunderstanding. It may be incorporated undistortedly IN SOME EXPRESSIONS, but only in the realization first that all of your reality YOU are individually creating. For the incorporation of this type of terminology of co-creator holds with it the assumption that other individuals or other aspects of your reality – even your weather – are entities in themselves that are creating your reality for you or with you, and neither of these actions is correct.

“In this, I shall express once again, all of your individual, unique reality is created through the expression of your perception. This be the reason that I speak with you so very frequently concerning this subject of perception, for your perception, as individually expressed by yourself, IS in actuality creating every aspect of your reality, EVEN your interaction and viewing of other individuals.” [session 629, June 04, 2000]

ELIAS: “Each of you – every individual that is manifest within this dimension upon your planet – holds a unique perception, in like manner to your fingerprints. Perception is so very highly unique that no two individuals throughout the entirety of your history create the same perception. It is HIGHLY individualized. Therefore, if perception is the instrument which creates your reality – and it is – and it is highly unique and individualized through your individual creation, all of your reality is also highly individualized and unique.” [session 646, June 17, 2000]

ELIAS: “Perception objectively is an elusive expression, one that is not easily defined. I may express to you that it is an instrument, that it is, in a manner of speaking, a mechanism of you, but it is not a mechanism or an instrument that you may view in solid form, and therefore it becomes abstract and elusive, and you experience difficulty in defining and identifying what perception is.

“In this, as you allow yourselves to view the affectingness of your perceptions, as you allow yourselves to view the creations of your perceptions, you also allow yourselves to not concern yourselves as much with the definition of this mechanism, but rather allow yourselves to begin an understanding and a recognition of the movement of it and how to be manipulating of it.

“It is a tool, in like manner to a tool of a physical hammer that you may engage in physical activity. You incorporate a hammer to facilitate an action of building. You incorporate perception as an instrument, a tool that builds your reality.” [session 691, September 12, 2000]

So even though there is no co-creation from an individual perspective, according to Elias, there is a collective that simultaneously creates. I’m reminded of Seth’s individual “space continuums” and “primary constructions.” Seth used an example to suggest that when four people are in same room looking at a glass of wine on a coffee table, there are literally four tables and four glasses being constructed. To take this further, since each person constructs four versions of each person, there are literally sixteen people, or secondary constructions, in the room!

So just how does perception work? That’s really the sixty-four skillion dollar question. Elias talks about subjective inner blueprints and projections of energy that we each interact with objectively. This interaction forms a kind of relationship that I sometimes call co-creation, but to be clear, it is defined differently than Elias’ definition. Again, as Elias hinted above, co-creation “may be incorporated undistortedly IN SOME EXPRESSIONS.” And the way I use it is complementary, to show that even though each focus perceives uniquely, we do this in relationship to each other interobjectively. This interobjectivity is a valid type of co-creation, but one that can lead to quite different perceptions between what is projected and what is perceived.

ELIAS: “You express energy in every choice, every moment, of your focus, and as you express energy, other individuals receive that energy, and from that blueprint of energy which you project, the other individual thusly creates an image of what you have created through their perception.

“In a manner of speaking, this type of interaction and movement may be viewed similarly to a projector camera, in which the film is fed through as the projection of energy, and the camera thusly projects an image outwardly of that energy which has been inputted into it.

“… Each individual creates this movement in interaction with other individuals.

“Now; at times, the projection from your perception may be filtered through different lenses, so to speak, which color the picture and alter the projection, and therefore, at times, may be viewed as distorting the projection. In these situations, you are creating your own image of the interaction and not necessarily projecting the energy which has been received from the other individual, but rather have substituted that energy in relation to your own issues, your own fears, your own beliefs that discard the projection of energy from the other individual and replace it with your own projection of energy. Or, at times, you may reconfigure the energy that you receive from another individual and create a new translation of that in association with your own beliefs, issues, fears and assessments, and also your own communications within self.

“… What you directly interact with in each of your realities is your perception. Therefore, what you are directly interactive with in relation to another individual is your perception of the other individual.

“What you directly interact with in relation to an actual other individual is not the physical matter, is not the physical form of that individual, but the projection of their energy to you and your acceptance of that energy as a blueprint to be creating your image of the other individual.” [session 797, March 14, 2001]

ELIAS: “If you are perceiving that you are being projected to in energy in threat, if your perception is that you are receiving [a] threat, you shall automatically express defense; and [a] threat may be expressed not merely in aggression but it may be expressed merely in the simplicity of difference. For as you engage differences in perceptions, you view this to be threatening, for you validate yourselves through sameness. You seek out sameness. If other individuals express differently, this is unacceptable, and you express to yourselves that you do not understand.

“Let me express to you, other individuals are not in actuality different from you. They may objectively display different choices or express behaviors differently, for they are accessing different qualities of consciousness and expressing them through objective physical reality, but you are ALL consciousness. You all hold the SAME qualities. You merely choose to tap different expressions of those qualities, and as you choose to tap certain qualities, you focus your attention upon those qualities, exploring your own expression of them to the exclusion of acceptance of other expressions of qualities for they are different, and you are paying attention to YOUR choice of qualities.

“This is not wrong; this is not bad. But within this time framework in this shift in consciousness, you are offering yourselves the opportunity to widen your awareness and become accepting of all other individuals’ choices of expressions, recognizing that they are also yours, for they shall not be within your reality if you are not choosing these expressions also.” [session 800, March 18, 2001]

So collective co-perception can get tricky, since there are so many different beliefs we all hold. And when we try to incorporate Elias’ teaching on accepting self and others, it can get confusing!

ELIAS: “I may express to you, forgiveness is yet again an expression that is not what it appears to be. There are many aspects of your reality that are not what they appear to be.

“Forgiveness, in your definition, is an action that you view to be positive and reinforcing and necessary to be moving into acceptance. I may express to you, this is the wolf in sheep’s clothing, for forgiveness, in actuality, is the discounting of another individual, expressing within yourself that another individual has wronged or hurt or been injurious to you. No other individual may be those expressions to you, for essences are not intrusive, and you create all of your reality. Therefore if you are experiencing injury, you have created that within yourself. Another individual does not create that against you. This is a facet of your perception and the power of your perception.

“In this, forgiveness discounts another individual and expresses that there is some element concerning the other individual that needs be fixed, or that they are inadequate in their expression, or that they are wrong – and there is no wrong. It also discounts you, for as you move into an expression of forgiveness with another individual, you are discounting your own choices and your ability to adequately create your reality without incorporating the role as a victim.

“... It is also another expression of reinforcing ‘victim.’ For if you are a victim, you have created an inability for choice, and your perception of this is inadequate or wrong or bad.” [session 848, June 09, 2001]

So how does perception, as defined by Elias, factor into the afterdeath experience and transition?

ELIAS: “The point of transition is not merely to shed beliefs associated with any particular physical dimension, but also to shed the objective awareness, for it is unnecessary. Objective awareness is generated only in association with physical dimensions, with physical realities. Perception is a tool of the objective awareness; therefore it also is not necessary. In nonphysical areas of consciousness there is no perception. It is associated merely with physical realities. But that is a strong configuration of energy and is not immediately shed merely that you choose to disengage. That is what I am expressing to you. That is also a process that generates a beginning.” [session 1474, November 23, 2003]

Finally, how does perception relate to what Elias calls avenues of communication between our subjective and objective awareness?

BALBINA: “Suppose somebody knows what he wants. Can we use imagination then as constructing ... this reality?”

ELIAS: “It may be helpful; it is a communication. Therefore, imagination does not construct. Perception constructs. But it may be helpful in the construction of what you want as allowing that communication to influence the perception.” [session 1574, June 05, 2004]

So perception is a very powerful and important belief system. It deals with the creation of 100% of our physical reality. Of course, subjective awareness plays an important part, too, but Elias is clear that each focus constructs, creates, and perceives through the mechanism, instrument, or tool of perception. This is also another clever way to explore the relationship between objective and subjective awareness!

All of which leads us to a simple practice for this month. Let’s simply notice which beliefs predominate our experiences for a whole week. First, simply notice every time we perceive something. Just notice. Don’t identify or label or analyze. Just notice. Pay attention to what you perceive!

Then, during a second week notice and identify perceptions connected to daily actions, particularly relationships, duplicity, sexuality, truth, and emotions (since we’ve covered those already). Concentrate on what perceptions arise in terms of relationships, duplicity, sexuality, truth, and emotions with self, essence, family members, pets, plants, TV, movies, your car, your lawn, etc. Notice what you are perceiving! Are there repeated signals? Is there one or two that draw your constant attention? Write those down for further NIRAA practice, as repeated signals always represent a message we not yet heard, but need to hear.

As usual, don’t go crazy, simply do the practice for 5-10 minutes throughout each day, and let it go at that. The basic idea, as always, is to notice self in relation to others, and be consistent with the practice. With a little persistence, you will begin to notice how important the belief system of perception is in understanding how we actually create all our reality.

At this time in our world we are all asking questions of ourselves and others such as, “What is my purpose?” and “What is truth?” and “What is death?” We are questioning the validity of our governments and our religious institutions. The Shift: A Time of Change offers the answer to these questions.

First time author David Tate has waded through the voluminous information delivered by Elias/Mary Ennis to compile a GEM of the Elias material and has shaped The Shift: A Time of Change into a definitive reference guide of the most popular topics of the Elias material.

All of the readers of the popular Seth/Jane Roberts books will identify with the information delivered by Elias/Mary Ennis in that it is channelled material. Like Seth, Elias is an essence who brings forth explanations of our world, ourselves and that we create our reality. The mantra, “You create your own reality,” was originated by Seth. Seth further explained that our beliefs create our reality. However, Elias clarifies that in order to change our realities we must accept our beliefs.

In The Shift, Elias delves deep into the fundamental questions we all have concerning truth, karma, beliefs systems and God.

“You are moving to the creation of a new expression of your physical reality as you know it. In this, not only your technology shall advance and be created differently, but all of your reality shall be altered and shall be different.”

Synopsis

The Shift: A Time of Change is a compilation of transcripts that have been delivered by Elias/Mary Ennis since 1995. The phenomenon of Elias began in 1995 and, through Mary Ennis, Elias has given private and group readings to people around the globe. This book encompasses the gems of that information that addresses everyone on the planet.

This is the first book within a series.

New & Updated! Order The Cellophane Prophecy

The Cellophane Prophecy

Wickedly funny sendup of new age mega-seller, The Celestine Prophecy, a novel about a man who goes to Peru to find manuscripts that contain the secrets of life. His intentions are good – he wishes to share the manuscripts with the world – but his efforts are impeded by power-hungry factions, extremists, and high-ranking church officials.

In J.K. Greenfield’s parody, The Cellophane Prophecy, our hero’s intentions are not so good! Set up by an ex-girlfriend promising sexual favors, he goes to Italy to uncover manuscripts said to contain the secrets of life-secrets, he finds, like “If you stare at something long enough, it will glow.”

The book is a must for people who read The Celestine Prophecy and found themselves in need of a laugh, or even a subplot! Treat yourself and your loved ones to The Cellophane Prophecy.
