Aspects of the Infinite

Very often, individuals speak of the idea of reestablishing a connection to what you call God. Now, understand from our perspective, when you speak about establishing or reestablishing, perhaps, a connection, this presupposes that you are already separate things and need to then connect between things which are already separate. All right, that is one perspective.

Our particular name, our particular phraseology, so to speak, for what you call God is “All-That-Is.” We use this terminology because, to us, it is quite precise and, in that sense, leaves nothing out. In speaking about the idea of All-That-Is, you obviously would be included in that definition. It is not that there is everything that exists and then there’s you aside. No, there is no outside of creation. It is all one event, one thing. The idea is as follows: All-That-Is is, at the same time, a self-reflective singular consciousness, but also simultaneously All-That-Is—everything, no exceptions. This is one of the paradoxes of the infinite, eternal, and multi-dimensional nature of All-That-Is.

Therefore, you can never truly be separated from All-That-Is. You can perceive a separation; you can create particular definitions and parameters that allow you to assume the position of being separate. But the very eyes through which you peer, the very eyes through which you say you perceive your reality—from our perspective, you project it from there, but that’s another story—are, in fact, the eyes of creation itself, the eyes of All-That-Is. You are, in fact, aspects of the infinite itself, the infinite simply being another label for All-That-Is.

All-That-Is, in being a singular self-reflective consciousness—and this is quite colloquial for the purposes of explanation—perhaps you can say, at some point decided that it would like to know itself in its raw state. You may say that All-That-Is simply exists; it simply is. And, in fact, you can say the first phase of awareness is existence itself.

The second, again, phase of awareness is knowingness. Knowingness supposes a separation rather than being one whole, separating to then reflect back on aspects of itself.

So, therefore, in breaking consciousness down, so to speak, along a gradient, as you say, the first step is existence, and the second, shall we say, gradation is knowingness.

The next three separations of consciousness that allow more and more pinpoint, fine focus of consciousness are belief (belief systems), emotionality, and mentality (or thought).

In your physical reality, in general, you function from the last three: belief systems, emotionality, and mentality. However, one of the realities you also create, which is just as real as this reality you call your sleeping dream reality (we prefer to also label that this is a dream as well, for you are very literally dreaming right now, and we will refer to this dream as the waking dream reality), has its own unique, particular set of rules. And in that waking dream, in general, one functions until they begin to expand from belief systems, emotions, and thoughts. In your sleeping dream reality, however, this is not always the case. You also sometimes will create these belief systems, emotions, and thoughts as a methodology for proceeding, but you also, in that state, experience direct knowingness. And very often, this is one of the reasons, upon waking into this dream, that you are not able amply to bring back a memory of what occurred, for there are simply no symbols within this dream to express that knowingness, being, again, that this dream is more or less seated in belief, emotion, and thought. You are all aspects of the infinite itself. These are simply the ways through which, the filters through which, you define yourself and ultimately enable you to perceive yourself as separate from All-That-Is. That is a unique discovery, cutting yourself off, so to speak. Again, it is only a seemingness, but, so to speak, from Infinite Creation, allows you to experience certain things. One of those explorations is the exploration you call learning. When you are expressing your totality and you are one, in that sense, with All-That-Is, you simply already know it all, so there is nothing you can truly learn, nothing you can discover.

So learning, discovery, and, in fact, surprise are some of the aspects that you create this degree of separation from All-That-Is to experience. It is quite, from our perspective, a wonderful exploration. Once individuals realize that part and parcel of that forgetting, that self-imposed forgetting of your totality, is to experience the joy of discovery, many times this will, shall we say, take some of the pressure off. And you will understand the things you strive to know are the point, are the road, not the destination. You can understand that simply by even phrasing that you are an aspect of the infinite; you can begin to feel that connection by believing, by utilizing the belief system that you are an aspect of the infinite, and stating that, you can feel it. For all emotions are always a response to a belief. When you allow yourself to utilize that belief and create those corresponding emotions, you create a vibration within you, and that vibration can be matched by your attitude. Once you allow yourself to feel that connectiveness, along with it comes the unconditional love of All-That-Is, for you, being an aspect of All-That-Is, are truly loved unconditionally, for All-That-Is loves itself unconditionally. All-That-Is does not impose conditions upon parts, so to speak, of itself. Does not say, “Well, if you do this, I will love you; if not, you’re out.” For, understand, there is no outside, nowhere to send it, nowhere to put it. All is All-That-Is. Therefore, yes, even you are unconditionally loved. Who, me? Yes, you! Even you.

There is no outside, there are no extraneous creations. You are part of All-That-Is. You are unconditionally loved, being that unconditional love is the energy of creation itself at all times. Many times individuals will say, “Well, yes, that sounds all well and good, but I don’t feel that.” That is because you, in creating yourself as seeming separate, also have an option. You can have the option to actually conditionally love yourself, meaning if you fulfill your own set of conditions, all well and good; if you do not, then you literally and figuratively beat yourselves up. What you feel as a lack of unconditional love is not from All-That-Is. All-That-Is simply automatically, unconditionally loves you. It is all, in that sense, that it can do; it cannot forsake parts of itself. So you may understand, when you feel judged, when you feel lack of self-love, that you are choosing. You are choosing to express, within your choices of feeling separate, to feel that toward yourself. And we remind you of your connection, of your being an aspect of the infinite, so that at least at that juncture, you can give yourself the option, in reminding yourself of the unconditional love of All-That-Is, to feel it.

Upon feeling that love, it then becomes a bit more simple, shall we say, to match the vibration of that unconditional love and to unconditionally love yourself, to forgive yourself for things that you have done that you do not prefer, with, again, the intention of reconciling those things. And one way to do so is that if a similar circumstance comes around, allowing you the option to do something that you did that you did not prefer, that you use, that you draw on those regrets to simply not do that again, to simply provide, under similar circumstances, the positive course of action, which then reconciles having made the negative choice back then and establishes balance, sometimes what you call karmic balance. So it is not that you need experience directly one-for-one the quote-unquote “fruits” of your actions. If you punch someone in the face, you do not need to be punched back in that sense to create neutrality, to even out in that sense that balance.

You can, next time you are, shall we say, tempted to punch someone in the face, not do it, and your willingness to not do so establishes a balance. We understand this is an extreme example, but sometimes that speaks a bit louder. Therefore, understand that the unconditional love of All-That-Is is eternal, is infinite, cannot be lost. If you are speaking about God judging me, what you are saying is you are judging yourselves, for unconditional leaves no room for judgment. Unconditional means no conditions. Therefore, you will not be judged for not meeting a particular set of conditions; there are none. The conditions are imposed by your own heart’s inner knowingness of what is right and wrong for you, and your willingness to follow that or not follow that determines the effects you feel are, shall we say, bequeathed from without you, from outside. But you are doing the assigning, you are doing the judging. You always know in your heart of hearts if what you are about to do is separative, disintegrative, or integrative. Therefore, allow yourself to check in with this inner knowingness and allow yourself to follow your heart of hearts. We particularly, again, remind you that one of the signs—you’re always asking for signs, “Oh, give me a sign, can I have a sign?"—you constantly have one. One of the signs from your higher self to your physical self in any given moment is what you label excitement. For that vibration is the translation of the energy that allows you to know in no uncertain terms, “This is me in this moment,” from what’s available. Therefore, your willingness to begin to validate that excitement with integrity, with the understanding of your integration with all things, and acting that way, this means that you always have as much power as you ever need to create what you want without hurting yourself or others. But your willingness has to follow that excitement, will create a thread, and that thread will weave your life into a tapestry that you will find most enjoyable, most effortless, and most abundant, for that is walking in step with your purpose. And that excitement is the sign itself that you ask for all the time. When something excites you, trust that it does not do so to tease you, to chide you; it does so to inform you that of these choices, this is me, this is most effortless, and this will lead to the next thing that, upon choosing, will be very exciting.

Therefore, your search, your mission, your exploration, your expansion of consciousness can take that form and can be accelerated when you are willing to begin to accept the sign from your higher self and act upon that sign. Again, it will create a new momentum that will replace the old. You will not be running from the old way of life toward the new; you will be acknowledging the old life and simply choosing the new. So much momentum will it then have once you are willing in this way to validate that sign from your higher self. Allow us to thank you all for your willingness to co-create this interaction with us this evening. Though there are, shall we say, many individuals out there, there are also many individuals on our side as well. Therefore, many consciousnesses benefit from these interactions. We enjoy, we revel, in fact, in seeing just how many different expressions, aspects of the infinite, assume. Therefore, we derive great joy in your allowance to share with us your unique individuality.

Questions

Asker

The religions on this planet and their holy books go to great lengths to delineate what is and what is not acceptable behavior, and what the consequences of acceptable or unacceptable behavior are.

Who sourced these religions, and what is their purpose on this planet?

Elan

When we speak about forgetting your connection, this was not always the case upon your planet. Approximately, for the purposes of an assignment of a value, 25,000 years ago on your continent you label Atlantis, did this form of limitation take, shall we say, a turn? A turn where individuals were beginning to enjoy the separation from All-That-Is to the degree that they continued to create this separation, continued to create this forgetfulness to the extent, shall we say, after the destruction of Atlantis, where individuals simply began to take for granted that they were separate? That was simply all they knew. Taking this for granted, there were then, shall we say, individuals who decided that their job, so to speak, was to allow and enable and to facilitate individuals to reestablish that connection, to, shall we say, begin to combine with the purpose of All-That-Is. So therefore, the religion itself initiated from this separateness and the desire to rejoin, from, again, what we have already explained, you can truly never be separate from. Therefore, in a sense, you can understand that it was created, at least from one perspective, as a service. Also, interestingly enough, though, being that individuals had created a disconnection, a seeming disconnection, they also then began to lose sight of their personal power, that power from within, and began to look outside of themselves. For all that they could perceive was their reality for that power. Not believing they contained it within, they then began to look without, outside into the external world, and began to realize that as individuals felt this connection, that were they to facilitate individuals toward regaining that connection, that gave them a sense of power, that gave them a sense of prestige. So therefore, there is that idea also mingled in with the whole idea. Now, it has taken many forms, for there have been many translations of the many ideas that have been rendered both through individuals and both direct from All-That-Is. But once you translate a few times, shall we say, you have a game upon your planet you call it “telephone.” You start with a simple sentence, and by the time it gets around the circle, it is simply not the same message. You can understand that to some degree this occurs with the rendering from generation to generation. So though there are many aspects in your religious literature that are, shall we say, examples of the original intention, there are many distortions as well. Does this answer the question in part?

Asker

Uh, being one with the All-That-Is is an ever-present, ever-available experience. What’s required to have that experience is simply an acknowledgement that you already always have it. Very simple.

Elan

Exactly. And if there’s one thing that the religions of the world have in common, it is that they state very clearly that being one with the All-That-Is is not a present-time available experience; it is a goal to be reached only after you have efforted and persisted in certain modes of behavior and refrained from other modes of behavior. The ultimate dangling carrot.

Asker

Exactly. And it appears from my perspective that the primary goal of religion was to control people rather than facilitate.

Elan

Do understand there are individuals who sincerely wish to facilitate. They perhaps doing so out of not having all the facts. But it is not cut and dry. All ideologies are tools. This means that those who choose to use them can get the result. We are not saying that religion does not have the end or byproduct it claims it can for individuals who choose to trust in that particular way. What we are saying is that if there were only one way, there would only be one person. And look around, there are many ways. If one way works, all well and good, but there is no reason to assume that that is the only way. One of the things that you explore upon your planet most obviously, even by the discrete expression of five different races of mankind, is variety. Therefore, utilizing again your terminology, there are many roads to Rome, but you need not invalidate any tool. All tools are valid for those who choose to use them. So rather than concentrating on the shortcomings of them, simply decide, when you are viewing and exploring a tool: is this for me? Does this work for me? If it does, use it. If it does not, thank it, for it has allowed you, by the process of elimination, to get one step closer to the tool that will work for you. And there is simply no reason to invalidate any ideology, for invalidating it does not give it less weight and get rid of it; it gives it more weight, places more attention upon it, and actually causes it to have more of an effect on you than were you to validate it and release it. Do proceed.

Asker

It seems that what we have here is an infinite potentiality for choice, and choosing that mode of experience that you prefer. Yes, no choice is any better or any worse than any other choice.

Elan

No, but some are more integrative and positive, and some are more separative, limiting, and negative. We are beginning to speak about the positive choices because they are integrating, beginning to collect back what you have formerly considered parts of yourself into one whole. Whereas separation has you seeming to be, shall we say, alone, caught in the tide, smashed on the rocks by the waves, and so forth. There is nothing any less valid about that exploration, but our particular, shall we say, orientation in interacting with members of your society is the introduction of the more positive, integrative ideas, for they allow people to take back their power and begin to create their life according to preference. And very often, individuals who claim that they wish to explore the dark side, the negative side, also themselves wish to have that same inner love. So therefore, many times they simply do not know how to express it and think that externally will be the only way to reconcile it. But it is all an internal reflection. Anyway, we remind you: your reality does not happen to you; it happens through you. Is there something else?

Asker

Yes. It seems that even though both experiences, integrative and separative, are equally valid, man does have an inbred predilection to seek pleasure and avoid pain, and in fact will do much more in the way of efforting to avoid pain than he will to seek pleasure. Now the integrative… or…

Elan

That, by the way—you are simply elucidating on certain observations which in and of themselves are as valid as any other. But why are you focusing upon this? Do proceed.

Asker

I’m focusing upon this because there seems to be an innate sense, or the idea that’s held by many, is that pain is to be avoided, pleasure is to be sought, feeling good is better than feeling bad. But much of this does not assume that you create your own reality, and that you can only experience the reality that you are the vibration of.

Elan

If you are the vibration of unconditional love, assistance, and in that sense being of service to individuals, there simply is no reason to fear, which is believing a reality you do not prefer is most likely. Pain, for you, are not even likely to attract it. It is when individuals are willing to issue pain to others that they then feel perhaps that they deserve pain back, and then need to avoid what they feel they deserve. But it is all a matter of where you are focusing your attention. The avoidance of pain and seeking of pleasure in that automatic way does not assume you have your own power. You create your own reality. You decide who you are. You decide your perspective. And what you decide then is the vibration that you are, and then that is the reality you experience. You are removing that creatorhood by the mere asking of the question. Is that clear?

Asker

Yes. Then, since you do create your own reality, does it follow that you can follow an integrative path or a separative path and enjoy as much pleasure in either, depending upon your definition of pleasure?

Elan

Perhaps you can say in some overall sense that is true, for it is just as valid an exploration. But your society in 25,000 years has done it all. Therefore, now is the time of awakening. Now is the time of transformation. Now is the time, in having explored this separation and negativity and limitation, to begin to choose, to prefer, to consciously express that joy in integration.

Asker

Let me just simply ask: is the integrative path… is there more pleasure and less pain inherent in that path than in the path of separation?

Elan

In the way that you mean, automatically, absolutely and positively. Can only be.

Asker

Okay, thank you.

Elan

The idea again is, as you expand your consciousness, because you are in a world of polarity, positive-negative, you will become infinitely more aware of both. Not only the positive, for that would not be true expansion. But what you experience is up to how you choose to move, what is your premise, who you are, your vibration. So therefore, you can be aware of negativity all around you and need not experience it if you decide that you will walk according to your positive purpose. So therefore, it is not a negation of that negativity; again, you will be peripherally aware of it. But in changing your vibration, in positively aligning your purpose, what changes is what you experience. So yes, automatically, since you are unconditionally, positively serving and not, shall we say, rendering pain to other individuals, you will not experience personally that pain. You may, however, because you still have chosen to exist in such a world, be aware of the pain of others. This is the distinction, the difference between being aware of something and experiencing it. Is that clear?

Asker

Yes, it is.

Elan

Does that help?

Asker

It helps.

Elan

All right then, perhaps we will return to you.

Asker

Greetings.

Elan

Pleasure to meet you. Greetings. Along perhaps the same line to… we have met, by the way, perhaps in a more blended fashion? Yes.

Asker

A certain portion of our population assumes beliefs that we find radical or non-preferable, whatever. But for example, they may prophesy the end of the world and all retreat to caves, expecting that there will be nothing to come out to… the… um… all right. My question in this regard is that if they genuinely have the belief that it is the end of the world, and they go into those caves, do they have that experience?

Elan

The idea is this. One of the things that we have discussed is what you label parallel and probable realities. This is only one expression of reality. If there is, perhaps utilizing your example, a portion of your mass consciousness, individuals who wish to burrow into the ground and truly expect that result, yes, they will walk out into a devastated planet. However, from your perspective, they will have simply went into the caves and never come out. From their perspective, they will come out to a devastated Earth, which is not literally the same Earth that you are upon. Their vibration, being to agree to a vibration which is different from the consensual mass consciousness agreement, still allows them to experience that reality, but spins off a parallel reality or another reality track that allows them to experience that without interfering in your reality. Does that make sense?

Asker

Yes. Therefore, the definition holds that that which you most expect to occur does shape your reality, if you are truly being honest with what you expect. Yes. Right now, if an individual or group assumes a perspective that perhaps most people would find repugnant, destructive, nonsensical, whatever… um, do they reach their goal simply because they believe in the reality that that is the way to make things work? Therefore, their belief simply makes things work?

Elan

It depends what their goal is. In general, they will generally create any of the effects that they are doing to others to happen to themselves. So it again depends what your definition of their goal is. Perhaps an extreme example would help. Um, Hitler. He thought that he would create a more pleasant world for himself by eliminating a lot of nice people, um, to his perception. And those that perceived that shared in that perception. If they had completed that reality to their satisfaction, would they have created a world they would have been pleased with? Would they have met their goals? Perhaps you can say yes. But understand that one thing that you are not mentioning, that is part and parcel of this picture, is the amount of fear instilled not only in that individual, but the many individuals who, while they were hating to such a degree, also did fear being hated because of the energy of putting out that hate. And it was the fear itself, so to speak, that wound up being the downfall of that scenario. And that’s the second part of the definition of reality: to also believe in it with integrity. And that would be the fear you’re talking about. Well, perhaps again, as we had said earlier, you always know in your own heart what is truly right to you, and if you are acting against that, you may generate particular emotions. One of them may be fear. Fear, again, is believing a reality you do not prefer is most likely. Obviously, that is what occurred to that individual, so they had mixed feelings at the same time, mixed beliefs.

Asker

Yes, and if they did not, there would not have been the negative manifestation of wishing to exterminate a large portion of the population of your planet. Conflicting value system. Okay, next. Um, what slows me down from creating my reality of will? If I wanted to appear on right outside right now, why don’t I create it? Because if I truly understand that reality is that which I simply believe is most likely to occur, then that should empower me to create whatever I want.

Elan

It will. But one of the, shall we say, rules that you imposed upon yourself in this particular reality is what you label cause and effect. And in creating the idea of experiencing the unfoldment of time, also a particular lag between the having of the idea and the manifestation of that idea. You can, however, shorten this process quite a bit by being willing to begin to act according to preference. But that is one of the foundational definitions of this reality. Now understand the following: you do have the ability you are saying; however, it is expressed in another portion no less real of your reality. Again, what we had earlier discussed, your sleeping dream reality. Do you not within that reality simply have a thought, turn around, there it is? That is what you are speaking of. However, when you wake up, so to speak, into this dream, you are, shall we say, choosing to play by a particular set of rules for the time being, and one of them is this lag between the having of an idea and the manifestation of it. But your willingness to act according to your excitement when having the idea accelerates the process and allows it to manifest in the fastest possible way. For you are now operating as, sometimes you say, your electricity does, along the lines of least resistance. So it can be quite fast in that way.

Asker

Is the process that I define myself between the idea and manifesting the creation simply that item that slows things down, or are there physical rules that get in the way?

Elan

Well, in other words, the item that we are speaking of are the physical agreements. They are only rules because you agree to them. You can break, in that sense, your agreement with the mass consciousness. But very often in doing so, if you manifest something in such a way, others around you who have agreed to abide by those rules will either not perceive it or not acknowledge that you did it in that way, and in fact not be able, in a sense, to believe that you did. Understand the complexity of the agreements.

Asker

Okay, so all boiled down in the final sense, then it’s my definition of the process required is the only inhibition?

Elan

Yes. And your willingness to act upon your excitement flawlessly with integrity will accelerate any manifestation to happen very quickly. Where you generally create more time is when you ignore or go against, so to say, the grain of your excitement. It actually takes more effort, takes more time to deny who you are and act out of somebody else’s set of who you should be. Does that help?

Asker

Yes. Also, somewhat in the same direction, last question from now. Uh, are you familiar with the concept we call old tapes, or tapes playing? You had old experiences that we no longer prefer, but they seem to have a durability that’s astounding. We understand the concept. What would your suggestions be to most effectively eliminate them, transmute them, whatever?

Elan

First of all, acknowledge them. Trying to get rid of them, pushing them against, shall we say, the boundaries of your reality (remember there is no outside), simply gives them that much force to spring back to you. Act… so first thing is don’t deny them, acknowledge them. Second thing is to go through a process that we have sometimes shared of acknowledging all aspects of it. Not only that you had that belief, but again, the three phases of awareness we had shared earlier. State the belief of the quote-unquote “old tape.” Allow yourself to truly feel how it feels to have that belief. Allow whatever thoughts occur having that belief and those feelings to simply be obvious. Then watch how a person with those beliefs, feelings, and thoughts acts. You will see a distinct and discreet set of actions. Do you follow along so far?

Asker

Yes, thank you.

Elan

Then you state the new belief. First, blank the screen so you don’t get confused. Allow the new corresponding, perhaps more positive, emotion to be mustered up that corresponds to the new belief. Allow that to generate thoughts. And watch the actions of a person who believes that. Where you get to choose to play the new tape rather than the old tape is by giving yourself the benefit of seeing both actions. It will not be difficult to choose one. The actions reflective of the preferred beliefs will always be preferred actions. And once you have afforded yourself even seeing that that’s an option, it becomes quite simple to do it. So again, it boils down to the action state: seeing how you acted with the old tape, plugging in the new tape, seeing how you would then act, comparing those actions, preferring one, and acting that way gives you the new reality. When you then have the new reality, the old tape, so to speak, never goes away. There is no outside, nowhere to put it; it simply has no relevance to the new reality. Your relationship with it has been transformed because you have not denied it and instead done something else. Really believing that’s most true, but you have acknowledged it, equalized it with the belief you wish to have, and simply out of preference, out of conscious commandment, chose the new belief. And then be willing to do again how the universe perceives that you truly believe something: act that way. Very simple. Does that help?

Asker

Yes, thank you, it does.

Elan

And we thank you as well. At this timing, allow us to pause for a short break of 10 to 15 of your minutes of counting. We will resume contact at that timing.

Asker

All right, I’ll say continue.

Asker

Um, I have a question about, um, the dream state. You said that we go in our dream reality, the nighttime sleeping reality, and that that’s when we were closest to our knowingness or that divine part of ourselves.

Elan

In a sense, you can understand that you have more access to direct knowingness. Not more access to the divine part of yourself, but also understand that in this reality, more and more you will find in this waking dream reality tapping into that knowingness. As you expand, you will in that sense begin to expand beyond belief systems into knowingness from time to time. So it is not, shall we say, impossible to experience that knowingness in the waking dream, but far more, shall we say, likely and common in what you consider to be your sleeping dream, in that you separate the two dreams. Our perception is that as you expand, you will blend them into one waking, living dream.

Asker

Okay. Um, then how does that accessing that knowingness in your sleeping dream relate to nightmares, what we term as nightmares?

Elan

Well, sometimes it will simply be tapping into particular scenarios that you wish to play out in physical terms, though not midwife them, so to speak, into this particular reality. So it allows you to access that without having, in that sense, to live it in this reality. One other reason is that you do create yourselves to be, shall we say, beings that chop yourselves up into little bits and create nice compartments to file those bits in. That many times some of your core fears or issues which you will not allow yourself to look at will, in a sense, force their way, so to speak, with your allowance, to the forefront in that sleeping dream reality, where you will enable yourself to look at them a bit more openly.

Asker

Was that the purpose for us separating from the waking dream to the sleeping dream? Why did that occur?

Elan

Well, as you became more and more of a limited focus in consciousness, you began in that sense to disregard the more malleable, the more, shall we say, immediately manifesting portions of your consciousness. But since they still existed, you created very creatively a compartment, a place to file them. And this is your experience. You, in waking and living this dream, live a particular set of rules and parameters. And the ideas that you have separated from this, you then access, shall we say, on quite a regular basis. So you are quite literally, even in this waking dream, always in touch with other aspects of your simultaneous being.

Asker

Okay, so that would explain times that I find when I know I’m in my waking dream, but I can’t tell if I’m in the sleeping dream or the waking dream. That would explain the merging of those two.

Elan

Oh, very good. This is one of the symptoms. Were you to ask, “Well, did I dream that, or is it real?” As the line begins to dissolve, as the line begins to literally be erased by you, that is one of the symptoms. Yes. One of the other quote-unquote “symptoms” will be the idea of waking up with no ready memories, for you will begin to cease to make the separation.

Asker

I don’t quite understand that part.

Elan

In other words, should you find that your whole life you woke up with vivid memories of your dreams, and this begins to, shall we say, ease up or cease altogether, that is another symptom of blending the two realities.

Asker

Okay. No, well I’m stuck on a point here. I’m trying to put the question together.

Elan

All right, let’s unstick it.

Asker

If you’re merging the waking and the dream reality, um, the waking dream and the sleeping dream, if you’re merging them, then you have that unlimited ability that you appear to have in your sleeping dream.

Elan

Well, this is what happens. As you begin to broaden your definitions of this waking dream, things which formerly seemed impossible, the stuff dreams are made of, begin to express in this reality at a comfortable rate, a bit at a time. But again, as you do, you will find this reality to be quite a bit more malleable. You will find time will have a different relationship. You will begin to more immediately manifest things and simply no longer have the need for the delineation. When you say time has a different relationship, the cause and effect that we spoke of earlier, there will be far less of a lag; there will be more of an immediate creation. Also understand, one way that you can facilitate this is very simple: to draw relevance from that reality into this one gives validity to that reality. And how you do so is this: you have a particular dream, you wake up and you remember it, and perhaps you explored something in particular, either positive or negative. In any way that you can imagine, utilize what you have just dreamed to form a concept that you can then act upon in this dream. If you are willing to take actions based on learnings, expansions, and exploration in that reality, you begin again to erase that line. So should you learn something about yourself in a dream that you can then wake up and apply, go right ahead. That allows that dream to now become confluent with this one.

Asker

Okay, okay. So there are certain times when I feel, not so much that did I dream it or did it really happen, but when I actually have to stop in the moment and say, “Where am I? In the sleeping dream or the waking dream?”

Elan

Oh, how exciting! Well, it is a little awkward at times, but it is exciting. All right, you will ease into that and not feel so awkward, but it is again that line beginning to dissolve.

Asker

Okay, ‘cause the message I got was that I needed to know how to walk with a foot in each world, so that is the dissolving of the line.

Elan

Very, very literally, this is so. And you are a dreamwalker in both realities.

Asker

Perfect, thank you very much.

Elan

Oh, thank you.

Asker

Um, uh, since I came down with this disease, um, many people have suggested things I can do to cure myself. And my question is, if I really believe it myself, will it work? Or if the best consciousness…

Elan

Oh, thank you. No, it is truly and simply and solely your belief. Now understand, when others believe a particular thing, that gives you the option to agree with them, and your agreeing with them is your believing it. But it also gives you the opportunity to say, “Now, now I appreciate your point of view. Perhaps I agreed with it in my past, but now I do not. And I thank you for allowing me to remind myself that I do not.” And you can use even their opinions in that way. But may I ask you a question: do you consider that you still have a disease?

Asker

No.

Elan

Oh, thank you. But in the beginning of the phrasing of that question, you did say “the disease that I have.” Okay, and perhaps we have discussed that you no longer need to retain that symbol.

Asker

Okay. I also want to update you since I last saw you from my private session. I’m feeling much better, and I’m walking like two miles and doing it three times a week. And um, I found that an interesting experiment. I thought the shaking, electricity in my body, could be controlled by the disease, so I decided to try to stop it. So I looked at my hand, I said, “Command you to stop shaking,” and it did.

Elan

Oh, of course. In a sense, even in the interaction where we shared, did it do so? Yes, but you erroneously thought that we had done something. You had done something; you had made that commandment, perhaps utilizing us as a symbol. Now you can go forth and use yourself as a symbol.

Asker

I want to ask one more question. The JFK assassination. Last night there was a show on, 16 minutes where the interview was in the hospital. JFK was pronounced dead. The shot came from the front.

Elan

From our perspective, this is no big news to most. It is simply now validating what many have thought. What will sometimes amaze us is the individuals who believed the original explanation.

Asker

And to you as well. Yes, I’d like to get back to the, um, talking about dreams, and um, specifically, context that you can get from your dream state and apply to this dream state. Um, I had a rather disturbing dream about a week and a half ago in which my brother was wanted for four separate murders. And um, they had a poster board with, um, not pictures of the people that had been murdered, but symbols representing those people. And as the dream progressed, it turned out that investigation into these murders turned out that my brother had also murdered our mother. And no one seemed to have known that at the time. And I was remembering in the dream seeing my mother on a gurney or mortuary slab with her neck slashed real severely, three or four times. And I remember thinking in the dream, “I can’t believe these people didn’t pick up on this, that something unnatural had happened.” Um, I’m wondering what kind of concept I’m supposed to be bringing back.

Elan

Well, for instance, in that particular scenario, was there a particular way under the circumstances that you now wished to relate to your brother, or perhaps something you wished you had related to him prior to the commission of these ideas?

Asker

Um, no, I don’t think so.

Elan

Well, look at that. And if there is a communication, make it now. But one other reference in this particular instance would have to do with what you label past-life scenario, whereby you were in similar relationships and something as that physically did occur. Therefore, you were touching back on that particular, shall we say, occurrence. But what we are now suggesting is that if there are some communications that you had felt to make, or that you now feel to make, make them. Midwife it into this reality by communicating with that individual in some way that would be beneficial to this life.

Asker

That does make sense, because his birthday was recently and I just sent him a card, so I guess I’ve solved it for myself.

Elan

But you have taken the steps and you have in that sense linked or bridged one dream to the next. Yes. Were, for instance, an individual to have a dream that someone, in that sense, to utilize a particular example, were ignoring you, walking away from you, and you wake up and cannot figure out how to reconcile with this individual, perhaps you can understand that the message is that you do not wish to be treated that way. Therefore, you can now begin to apply that in this life by being willing to treat others with the respect you felt you deserved. That is taking something and making it into a positive application in this dream. Does that help?

Asker

Yes, very much. We thank you. Thank you. One other thing, we talked a little bit earlier about karmic balance, and um, I wonder… my grandmother died about two and a half years ago, and she lived a difficult life and she was a very bitter woman in this life. And I’m wondering, um, one thing, how she’s doing now, and why do people sometimes live those kind of lives? Are they choosing it for the experience, or is it part of a karmic balance, either they maybe done that?

Elan

Allow us to first explain that what you call karma is not a law, but it is an agreement. Perhaps you can say the law is what you put out is what you get back. But retribution-style karma is self-imposed. That is what individuals feel they deserve, and that is the way they feel they deserve it. So they create that continuity life to life. If what they buy into is retribution, then they create it, an eye for an eye. But one of the things we had explained earlier is that balance can be maintained and established in different ways, not necessarily tit for tat, as you say. In her particular instance, there was the playing out of a particular balance. There were certain recognitions. But upon passing, as you say, shall we say, her eyes, so to speak, are a bit more open. Our perception is that she has now been quite accurately and appropriately oriented into that particular style of reality and is choosing to act, at least for the time being, as a guide, spirit guide, for certain individuals still physical. Therefore, many of the questions you are asking, you can simply ask her directly. But in general, when individuals impose karma upon themselves, they do it through a series of unconscious beliefs, not necessarily that they wish these things upon themselves consciously. We speak about the fact that when you create your reality, you do so consciously, and the other method is unconsciously. The unconscious creations, things you bought into perhaps on faith of someone else’s word or societal notions, are the things that generally result in the unpreferred. Acknowledge the unconscious beliefs that begins to allow you to collect yourself back together. The way that you do that is by allowing yourself to become aware of what you already believe. Once you even acknowledge that you had a belief which you bought into unconsciously, the acknowledgment of the belief now makes it conscious. Then it is a choice to continue to live that belief or to choose and change beliefs, as we had discussed earlier, drumming up the emotion, the thoughts, the corresponding actions, and acting the way you say you believe. So therefore, the karma can be, when imposed in that way, the result of unconscious beliefs and tendencies. Is this clear?

Asker

Yes, yes, thank you.

Elan

And to you. Therefore, before you go to sleep this night, if you wish, invite interaction. Grant yourself the permission to remember it upon waking and see what happens.

Asker

I’ll do that, thank you. And I did want to share with you that I listened to the tape of the session where you explained about inserting yourself in your past, and I understand it completely clearly.

Elan

Do you mean retroactive reconstruction? Well, whereby you create the amount of time it would take to have a particular manifestation and simply then project back in your imagination that number of years, start the process back then?

Asker

No, that’s not what I meant. That’s very interesting, but what did you mean? I was referring to the discussion about inserting yourself in your past, you meet these parallel lives.

Elan

We understand. I understood that very clearly. Oh, thank you, there was some difficulty in rendering the explanation.

Asker

It was perfect, it was perfect. But what was that you just said that was… oh, that is something else.

Elan

You already own, ever exist right here, right now. Any ideas that you create in any now moment of the future or of the past are recreating the past, projecting the future in the present. They have no inherent weight other than what you assign them. And very often individuals will use what they perceive to be negative things in their past as an excuse in the present to not do the things they wish for. “Back then they always had this or that.” Our point is that back then, in your relationship to back then, is defined entirely by you. The present is not experientially a result of the past, only to the degree that an individual assigns it. Therefore, in knowing this, you can now get a bit creative. You can assign any past you wish. When you imagine a past and run it through your mind, it has literally as much substance as any recreated memory, which again was only an interpretation at that time and not necessarily an accurate representation of what occurred. So if, for instance, there is a particular end goal that you have that you feel would take you perhaps seven years to accomplish, simply go back seven years in your imagination, picture the you seven years ago beginning that process, so you now have the rationale to be that you right now. Okay? And that memory is just as real as any other recreated memory if you assign as much weight to it as you assign to the other interpretations.

Asker

Great, that’s great.

Elan

Oh, we think so. Thank you very much.

Asker

I wonder if you could elaborate a little bit on what your fascination and what your discovery was in your swimming on your planet.

Elan

It is simply similar to your own, when individuals, realizing that they could in that sense float upon the water, propel themselves with their bodies, simply enjoyed interfacing with that thicker portion of our atmosphere, for that is how we view it. Therefore, it is simply in a sense for us a form of flying, if you will. And also, we are… because the animal consciousness upon any planet is a reflection of the sentient thinking consciousness, our animals are not territorial like yours, they are not carnivorous like yours, they do not attack each other like yours. Therefore, there was in the reveling in the sea, if you will, also a communion with many other forms of life, here too, unavailable. Also, one of the similar, shall we say, explorations in our ancient past as yours is what you would loosely label sailboats. We reveled in harnessing the power of the wind of the planet itself to sail upon the water.

Asker

Very interesting. I have tried something called drift snorkeling, where if you go in the water with the direction of the current, you can go many miles at a very slow pace with the current, watching the coral and things on the bottom. Have you ever done that?

Elan

We have, shall we say, not as much current as you, for our planet has no moons, therefore we have no tides. However, there is an animal in our water that would look similar when poking its head above water, in a sense, to what you might loosely label… the closest analogy would be brontosaurus-like. This particular animal will gain momentum in swimming, and an individual, if so inclined, can participate in the following way: the force of that animal moving through the water creates behind its neck a wake, and that wake behind its neck, if an individual boldly will submerge themselves in it, will give them quite a ride. Therefore, this is one of our joys.

Asker

Well, thank you for sharing that with us. I’ll let you go on.

Elan

At this timing, allow us to once again remind you that you are aspects of the infinite. That is your title. You are sparks of the light, of the white light of All-That-Is itself. What breaks down that white light in a way that makes you unique is the prism that comprises the artificial personality construct that you are. That prism is composed of belief, emotion, and thought. Therefore, whenever you wish to change the expression of that white light through you, all you need do is change any one of those three features. You will find it most easy to change the belief first, for that is, shall we say, on this plane, the cause of causes. But your willingness to change any aspect of the triad of prism that you are will change the vibration that you are, will now represent a different manifestation of that white light of Infinite Creation, and allow you to express yourself consciously according to preference as an aspect of the infinite. Multi-dimensional, infinite, and eternal are you all.
