It is possible in your life to create joy and ecstasy and only experience those realities. When you begin to be willing to validate who you are rather than who someone says you should be, by following your own inner knowingness in the form of your excitement with your integrity, the face of your life then begins to change and fall in step with who you know yourself to be, rather than, again, who everyone else tells you you should be. When you do so, your experience within your life is interpreted as ecstasy. And your willingness to use all your creations in a positive way and simply assume that everything fits, everything belongs, everything has a reason—and begin to look at why you created it rather than denying that you did—you begin to create a momentum. As the feedback, in that sense, corresponds to your willingness to validate who you are through your excitement, we call that the ecstatic explosion of coincidence and synchronicity.
For very often, you do attract the things you say you desire, not in the obvious way that you think you will attract it, but by coincidence—which doesn’t mean accident, but simply incidents occurring at the same time. Coincidence is the path of least resistance and will generally deliver to you what it is you desire, though perhaps not only in an unexpected way, but far sooner than if you rigidly insist you will only accept it in one particular form. Your willingness to broaden your definition of what you will accept in your reality will begin to allow the universe, once again, to deliver things to you over and through the path of least resistance, which again may seem from your particular perspective of consciousness like coincidence. This is synchronicity. And your willingness to acknowledge that everything is synchronic, but not stop there—go the next step to act that way—then gives you the results of knowing that everything is synchronicity, then allows you to begin to see why and how things serve you. But it will always boil down to your willingness to act, for you always act anyway on something.
One other idea: when you decide to change, when you make the decision that “I wish to change,” all that you need do, in that sense, to realize that change is to trust that you have changed, and then act as though you trust that you have changed. And when the subject of trust comes up, very often we hear from your society a collective psychic groan: “Oh no, you mean I have to have trust? I have to have faith? Oh no, there goes my reality.”
All right. Allow us to share something we have shared many times before; perhaps you can listen as if a new. Doubt is not a lack of trust, and in fact there is no such thing as a lack of trust. Trust is what holds together the fabric of your very reality. Trust is the mechanism through which your higher self expresses as a physical self. The moment that that trust is gone, you simply disappear. And that trust is in full place; you will not disappear.
Understand: it is not that you do not have trust; it is that doubt is an infinite trust in the thing you say you don’t prefer. So therefore, it is not a matter of gathering up trust, of doing psychic exercises so that you can strengthen your trust—no. It is a matter of realizing and acknowledging where you have placed that trust, and that what you, again, are calling doubt is a trust in what you don’t prefer. That gives you the opportunity to look at why you would trust in something you don’t prefer, and also gives you the opportunity in acknowledging it to then decide to trust in what you do prefer. Simply taking the trust you already have—you do not have to create it; it is there—and reapply it, reassign it to the things that are reflective of who you are. And it is that simple.
You can make it more complicated if you wish. If you need, in that sense, to have a very complex process to validate the change, go right ahead. But now you may realize that that is exactly what you’re doing, and you can grant that validation in the given moment and apply your trust consciously as the new you. As the preferred you, how would that preferred you act? If the, quote unquote, old unpreferred you comes up, the new you doesn’t mind. The new you says, “Oh, thank you. The more information that I have, the more choices that I have, the more options that I have, the more enriched is my experience and ability to choose.” So thank that, quote unquote, old self. Your old self wouldn’t thank itself, but your new self can. Your new self contains these definitions. Your new self can thank your old self for the suggestion, but then not move, then not act until you remind yourself from the perspective of your new self what that new self would do. Then, by acting according to the perspective of the preferred you, you are the preferred you. And all that ever had you being the old you was the same mechanism whereby you acted as though you believed perhaps something negative, perhaps something limiting. But what we are speaking of is nothing you must learn. You are all experts. You are all masters. You have been, up till now, perhaps the masters of limitation. Now you are the masters of integration, and therefore act that way.
Always, when meeting another master, the way that you can identify a master is that master will be the first to reflect back to you that you are already a master as well. For a true master fully understands and realizes the equality of all ideas within all that is. So therefore, perhaps perhaps you can use that as you say as a litmus test.
Questions
What is my Purpose?
Asker
I recently graduated from school in a field that I’ve been working at for some time too. I always like technology, and I’m in the field of computers. But—I need to know what excites me.
Elan
Now the question is: will you acknowledge to yourself what excites you without the voices of your society talking you out of it?
Asker
What is my purpose?
Elan
Your purpose is your excitement. Now, allow me to turn this around and ask you: what excites you the most? And before you answer, simply say the first thing that comes to your mind without analyzing it to death.
Asker
I don’t know.
Elan
Yes, you do. Let’s simply proceed on the assumption that you do. What excites you? What moves you? What brings you great joy?
Asker
Flying.
Elan
All right. That was not so difficult now, was it? What else?
Asker
That does come to my mind, but the other things—I don’t know. I really don’t know.
Elan
If, in that sense, you are not willing now to conjure up a most exciting thing, then again allow us to point your awareness toward remaining grounded in each moment.
What this means is: in every given moment—each now moment, which is the only time you ever experience—you talk about the past, you talk about the future, but now is the only experiential time. Notice what the options are in any given moment—what you can act upon, what is available, as you say—and choose from those choices, with your integrity, the one that excites you the most in each moment.
That will begin to—first of all, perhaps you can say—prime the pump of your excitement, and will also lead you to admitting or acknowledging the overall thing that excites you the most. It is possible that knowing at this precise moment what excites you the most, because you may not immediately be able to do it, may, in that sense, distract you from what you can act upon. So bring it all back to the now moment, and from this point forward, allow yourself to plainly lay out in front of you what you have to do right in front of you—what is available—and use your excitement with your integrity to choose from those choices, and you will lead yourself directly to your purpose overall. But you will be fulfilling your purpose each time you are willing to act on the one that excites you. Is that something that you could do?
Asker
Yes
Elan
If something very exciting that you had perhaps forgotten to share comes up, please share it, and we will discuss this further. You may find it will be as a flash—all of a sudden, “Oh yeah, forgot about that.”
Asker
I am—at a crossroad in my life.
Elan
Oh, not you too. You mean to tell me that you are in your center point of power with all possibilities? How overwhelming.
Asker
Very much. I seem to be facing my fear of having joy and pleasure in my life. I find out that I’m very creative.
Elan
Well, how creative? Why do you feel that perhaps you would be so full of joy that you would explode?
Asker
I’m not sure. I just know that when I’ve been creating wonderful things in my life, I moved to where I wanted to live, and now I’m not sure I want to live there. Instead of acting on the joy that’s available or building on it, I’ve been going into spirals—with money, with anything. It doesn’t matter what it is.
Elan
All right. Then you will allow us to explain the following: when we say to allow your excitement to key you in to a particular idea, this does not always mean that that idea will fully play out. Now, many times it will, and what will tell you that it will is the continuing excitement in that regard. But sometimes that excitement will be to get you, in that sense, to get your attention towards certain things that will enable you to learn certain things, to perhaps do something else all together. So what we are saying is: follow your excitement, yes, but you need not have a rigid, insistent expectation that it must play out in a particular way. And should the excitement change, trust that. For that change is the reflection of who you are and the path of your own least resistance.
Asker
It feels that a lot of things I thought I wanted to do—I have changed, and that is all right. But they have done so for a reason. And when the excitement seems to change, in that sense, you can either focus on the thing that is no longer exciting to distract you from the other possibilities, or open yourself back up to what those other possibilities are, and then use your excitement anew to choose a new one, without again getting hooked on a particular result. For if you truly have the intention of that particular result, it will play out. And if you maintain that intention as you change and expand, it will play out. But very often, as you change and expand, the intention will change. So it can be either, but you can allow the feedback to be obvious. Because I feel that I’m in a rut, and I feel that I’m not going to be there long. And then trust that—and trust that while you are there, it is perfect, and ground yourself and do what you can while you are there.
Elan
Now, there is another notion hidden, so to speak, within there that is, again, another societal notion in your society. It is a perspective that balance can only be maintained by experiencing equal amounts of negativity as positivity—otherwise, perhaps the notion is you will simply be too happy. But understand that yes, that is one way to establish balance. But there are other ways. As your consciousness expands, expansion by definition means it all expands. Your awareness of positivity expands, but being that you have chosen to be in a polarity-oriented universe that has the expression of positive and negative, your awareness of negative expands as well. Now, again, here is, as you say, the clincher: for as we have said, thinking thoughts is not the same as experiencing them. It is what you act upon that you will experience. So therefore, you can simply be aware of these ideas but not act upon them. Provide alternatives to act upon, and the providing of the alternatives and acting according to the alternatives gives the positive result.
Asker
I hear that in my head, but what it seems to happen is that this energy comes over me and I collapse in my solar plexus, my throat closes up, and all I feel is suffering. And “Why be on the earth?” and I want to go home.
Elan
Right. But you are home, and wherever you go, you take home with you. And in that moment, you may always use that particular perspective by understanding that you are judging yourself and not, in that moment, expressing unconditional self-love. Therefore, all right? Is all right. You need not judge yourself for judging. But when it is occurring—for now it would simply be hypothetical—when it is occurring, use it. All right? All right, I’m judging myself. All right, that is what I am exploring. What must I believe? Well, what is judgment? Judgment is separating ideas and assigning more significance or weight to one than another—not, in that sense, expressing the equality of all things. So all right, I have explored this for a moment. What must I have believed? Well, I believed, in that sense, that I had not fulfilled my conditions. Ah, that’s conditional love. All right, I now choose to unconditionally love myself. So I forgive myself. Perhaps I will make a note not to do that again. But in that sense, I can use even the judgment. When, in that sense, you say, “I wish I could split this reality and go home,” you are denying that you chose to be here. When you deny that you chose to be here, you cannot allow yourself to then see why you chose to be here. That is when reality seems to be happening to you. But when you remember—when you remind yourself that you have chosen it, and begin, in that sense, to see why, and even use that particular self-judgmental reflection as a positive perspective in nailing down a belief that no longer serves you—you can turn the whole thing around. And you can, as you say, midwife the concept we are sharing from your head, where you have said we have planted it, to your heart, where you will then feel it.
Asker
It seems as if it’s getting more and more extreme: either I’m totally in my heart and in pleasure and I’m creating, and then I swing all the way over to the other side.
Elan
At those moments, you are denying your excitement. For you are judging that your excitement will interrupt your process, and it is part of that process. You will no longer settle for that type of self-denial. So you, quote unquote, as you say in your slang, get down on yourself about it. But you can catch that, use it, and transform it. And follow that excitement moment to moment, even if it seems again to lead to no particular end. When you resist that excitement, that is what causes the friction that you are feeling.
Asker
So it feels like with my neck and my back, I can be very tight, and I’m holding against something.
Elan
Well, in that sense, you are not expressing, in that sense, who you truly believe yourself to be. Hence, your throat chakra, in that sense, is affected. And then your back, in that sense, is reflective of pulling the rug out from under yourself—your sense of support. Simply remember that no matter what you all believe about yourself, we believe in you utterly. And you can at all times tap into the unconditional love of what you call God or All That Is. For All That Is, being the overall creation—you are aspects of All That Is—and All That Is does have complete unconditional self-love. Therefore, there are no conditions placed upon All That Is’s love for you. And simply the knowingness of this—now that someone has told you—you will feel that this is so. No conditions means you cannot lose the love of God. God will not judge you, for that is conditions. You can always, by simply reminding yourself of that love, create it and feel it. And the moment that you do, you can then match it and display that degree of unconditional self-love to yourself. Then you are acting as an extension of All That Is. When you are willing to unconditionally love yourself, you are acting like All That Is acts, for All That Is always unconditionally loves all that is.
Asker
I seem to—I was never really attracted to terrestrial except for coming here. I never really—
Elan
All right. That is quite a grounded perspective. And it is our preference, in that sense, though perhaps you will explore with your head in the clouds, to keep your feet firmly on the ground.
Asker
Yeah. Um, but what’s been happening is that the Star Seed transmission books—which I never—they just popped into my life all of a sudden.
Elan
Oh, popped! All right. And I started to read “The Third Millennium,” which talked about being a star seed. And I—and also I was told by somebody else that I’m a star seed, and I’m starting to remember when I chose to come. Now, do understand: since you are all infinite, since you are all made in the image and likeness of what you call God, which is infinite and eternal, you truly have no beginning. Now, this does not sit well, again, in finite thought; it is an infinite concept. But therefore, you can most appropriately say that you are from everywhere, therefore nowhere in particular. Now, how this translates is that whatever you are exploring will bring with it a line of connection to perhaps other experiences, other lives that are relevant to what you are exploring. But much of what you have, in that sense, created yourself to experience is irrelevant to what you are now exploring. So connections you will make, yes. But no one is native, in that sense soul-wise, to Earth. And therefore, by extension, not truly native to anywhere in particular. This is why we say that home is not a place you go to; that you are home. You are the constant; reality, more actually, more mechanically, moves around you. Therefore, home is never anywhere that you will go or get to; it is something you will realize you have never left.
Asker
So is that could be why these books are attracting me so much—just to speaking of reminding me?
Elan
It is allowing you to perceive connections which are relevant, in that sense, to what you are now exploring. And also allowing you your own sense of discernment, for some of it may simply not apply to you. And you can trust what does, but you can also trust what does not.
Asker
I have one more question. All right. Recently, also in the last three or four months—I do healing work with people, and I also never been attracted to the White Brotherhood or any of the Alice Bailey type of literature. And the White Brotherhood have been coming into the healings—the medical unit—and I’d like to know how—
Elan
Communicate simply trust it. And every move that you make or every action, in that sense, that you perform with that as a background concept will strengthen the connection. Actions speak louder than words, in that sense. Understand that that particular stream of consciousness represents an assistive, largely non-physical collective consciousness which does aid and assist in your planet, but which also from time to time does manifest as discrete individuals upon your planet. Feel a very strong connection—and you may physically attract in your near future a physical human representation of that particular stream.
Asker
I have contacted, with someone who I may be studying with, that’s—but we mean face to face.
Elan
Will that do?
Asker
Yeah, I think. Okay. More was in that sense communicated than perhaps you will perceive on the conscious surface, but that will become obvious as you proceed and move and act according to who you are. We, in that sense—though you would perceive us as physical beings with physical bodies—have by choice chosen a more expanded perspective. And we communicate to each other in terms similar to perhaps how you communicate, though telepathically rather than verbally. But we also acknowledge and communicate on the many other expansive levels that we create as levels. Therefore, when we interact with you—you being that you generally interact with each other only verbally—you will only perceive the verbal portion and perhaps some of the, shall we say, visual enhancements. But there is also communication occurring on other levels, and that will enter your awareness as some of the concepts that we are sharing simply being available when they are, shall we say, most useful.
Asker
Greetings. And to you good—since Tony isn’t here, are you in the neighborhood?
Elan
We are at this timing approaching, shall we say, a transition from our system to your own. We will, in that sense, be in the neighborhood.
Asker
Your scout craft? A wonderful, exciting—
Elan
We think so.
Asker
One other subject: you have indicated that one of the constants in the universe has changed, and the only constant in that sense is change. Yes. Well, there’s been implications that there are others, and I’ve been thinking what else might I think is constant. And I thought only of the universal law that what you put out is what you get back. That might be another constant.
Elan
All right. In that sense, we will confirm.
Asker
Then I thought of well, the unconditional love of All That Is.
Elan
You’re on a roll.
Asker
Then I said, well, what about All That Is—whether it’s energy or matter—is that constant? Even though it’s infinite, it is both. It is constant and ever-changing. And again, we understand that this does not sit well in translation.
Elan
Okay, well, this is fun. Thank you very much.
Asker
One moment. Okay. A message to your friend: the present is not a result of the past. You can look at whatever symbols you are creating in the isolation of the moment. If you look at a particular symbol—in this instance, what you call pain—and do so in relation to pain from the past, you create a connection. But if you simply isolate it and only have that pain be relevant to what’s right in front of you in the moment, you get a different set of messages, which are the messages that will allow it to transform. All pain—spiritual, emotional, physical pain—is the product of resistance. Resistance of your true self, resistance of who you know yourself to be. It literally hurts to deny yourself. Therefore, isolate what she is experiencing in the moment. Allow herself, while feeling it, to simply ask: “What must I believe to be creating this? How does this serve me?” And should she find a tendency for any particular symbol to force her to do something, simply figure out what it is the symbol will force you to do, and hurry up and do that thing quick. Then you will not need the symbol to force you to do it.
Elan
All right. Was that directed of me?
Asker
No, your friend.
Elan
Oh, it’s a—he—a she—what you call—Carla.
Asker
Oh, thank you very much. And to you as well.
Elan
Most thank you very good. Shutting.
Asker
Female: Um, we talked a little earlier about moldavite, and I’ve also heard you talk in the past about how there are different dimensions and different societies living in various dimensions on Earth, and I would assume on other planets.
Elan
Hey, every planet that you consider to be uninhabited is only so in your vibratory dimension of awareness. There is, shall we say, many many—an infinite number perhaps—of overlapping, interwoven, universal dimensional realities. And in some particular dimension, there is habitation—literal habitation—of every planetary body. Now, when you shift your awareness as a mass consciousness, you will begin to, shall we say, begin to see—not necessarily in your own solar system at this point—but signs of other life elsewhere. Therefore, for you will be expanded to the point where that other life will be of like enough vibratory frequency that you can perceive each other. But right now, your degree of extreme chosen limitation is somewhat exclusionary; it puts you of a vibration that does not enable you to readily and easily interact with beings of, shall we say, a more expanded vibration. The mere fact that we can interact with you is your sign—and ours as well—that you are beginning to open up to these ideas and have that particular vibration within your society. Otherwise, there would be no common ground for our ability to communicate with you.
Asker
I understand that. Now, in the case of a planet like Maldek, where the inhabitants of the planet destroyed the planet—does that occur in only one dimension, or does that have many?
Elan
There are also, shall we say, dimensions which it did never destroy itself. But the one you are in, it has. And that would correspond to approximately six million of your years ago.
Asker
Now, if that happened over some dimensions but not all, did all of the inhabitants of all of the dimensions in which Maldek was destroyed have participated in that destruction?
Elan
By definition, you can only experience the reality that you are the vibration of. That was the particular mass exploration—the entire disintegrated point of view. The, shall we say, inner feelings of helplessness whereby individuals, not realizing their inner ability and their power to create their reality, could only validate that they in any sense had anything to do with their reality were they to dominate the external reflections, which in that sense created what you would call warfare. And to some degree, you have seen many examples of this upon your own planet. Though we perceive there has been a mass conscious decision to play out, shall we say, the happy ending, particularly in terms of your mass decision to not annihilate yourself by nuclear means.
Asker
We talked a little earlier about people who are autistic. Is the experience of people who are diagnosed with schizophrenia similar in any way to that of an autistic person?
Elan
Different. They, in that sense, are experiencing realities no less real than your own, but realities which are not mass agreed upon. So there is the constant seeming external invalidation of what they are experiencing, which does not allow them to use what they are experiencing because they are, quote unquote, abnormal. Our particular perspective is that it is to your benefit to realize your natural self, for normality is but an arbitrary viewpoint. Therefore, what is natural for them—were they, in that sense, to begin to use, interact with the reflections that they create—literally they, in that sense, would then derive benefit from them. But when they are invalidated by the society and the individual buys into the societal validations, that is what creates the seeming dis-ease or lack of ease.
Asker
So in that way, a person who is following their excitement and going with what they believe in—if it’s not in line with what the mass consciousness believes in—in a relative, microcosmic sense, would perhaps experience the same type of symptoms as a schizophrenic?
Elan
In that respect, not necessarily. Perhaps some of the negative judgment, but not necessarily the same symptomology. Is there something specific that you are referring to?
Asker
Well, yeah. I—we talked last time about night dreams, and he told me to face the bear, and it turned out that I was actually in the process of facing the bear in my waking dream.
Elan
Well, how exciting.
Asker
Yes, it was. And I didn’t—by the way, for the other individuals present: we simply suggested when this individual had mentioned being chased in her nighttime dreams to simply assume all the symbols in her dreams are just that. In the dream that someone else is chasing her, she was then instructed, in that sense, to look at what she is running away from within herself. And this was termed “facing the bear”—turning around and facing what she has been running away from. For again, there is nothing that you can create that you cannot use in a positive way. And what reconciles is the mere willingness to look at the symbol. Then you will not need the protection from it; you can simply integrate it, acknowledge it, keep it if you like it, choose a new one if you do not. Do proceed.
Asker
Okay. So what I experienced was an incident of sexual harassment where I work.
Elan
Oh, right. What an exciting symbol and an opportunity to assert who you are.
Asker
Wow, it was exciting for someone—I’m sure.
Elan
Do you understand what we mean?
Asker
Yes, I understand. We are not belittling from your end what occurred.
Elan
No, I understand. Simply saying that that is a creation—perhaps because it involves someone else, there would be the initial tendency to say it is happening to you. But that is not acting like an owner. Therefore, the effect you will get is that it is happening to you. But by simply assuming, “All right, I have chosen to co-create this. How does it serve me, and how can I express and allow myself the opportunity to not squelch what I feel?” Then everybody learns. What did you do?
Asker
Number one, I did not look at myself as a victim. I looked at it as though yes, I’ve had a hand in creating this.
Elan
And we are not saying that you deserve it in that sense, but do proceed.
Asker
Right. So instead of looking at it as being a victim, I looked at it as saying, “Well, what am I trying to show myself here? What can I get from this?” And basically, there were two things. One was that I’m a person and I deserve as much respect and dignity as anybody else in that environment.
Elan
All right—self-love, self-respect. Very good.
Asker
And the other thing is that I now experience a lot of difficulty because within this work environment, it’s mostly male, and people think that, “Boy, if you’re a woman in this environment, then you just have to expect to be treated this way.”
Elan
All right. Now, people think this, yes. But it does not have that effect on you until on some level you match it and buy into it. So your simple willingness to only be representative of your viewpoint shows them other options and also gives you a particularly conducive opportunity. And we mean this in the following way: there have been incidences—specifics are not important; you will understand what we mean—in your past whereby perhaps you had more willingly played victim and not allowed yourself to express in the situation who you are. You are now, in a sense, recreating a similar scenario but can treat it as if anew, by refusing to not express who you are and trusting that that expression with integrity—with perhaps you can say unconditional self-love and love of others—that that reflection will not only assist you but them as well. No matter how they choose to take it, by being willing to express who you are in a loving way, you are of service to them whether or not they agree with you.
Asker
Okay. Um, do you understand the references we have made?
Elan
Yes, yes I do, very much. And I guess that from their outward appearance or behavior, it’s hard to see that I’m having any kind of effect.
Asker
Do understand it is an elaborate game of—perhaps you can say—ping-pong. And they can only hit the ball if you return it. Your unwillingness to return it and maintain who you are simply, shall we say, calls the game on account of rain. They no longer have the material to reflect back to you. They can only keep getting a similar result if you are to dance in that step with them.
Elan
I understand. And I just want to let you know that I really appreciate having interacted with you and your assistance in allowing me to act with integrity.
Asker
All right. And we thank you for your willingness to do just that—act in that way. And again, remind: any communication that you have to make can be made in a loving way without invalidating the other individual’s point of view. When you are willing to be a living example of this—which you are—then you will see an effect. And you will not get the, quote unquote, response that you have come to expect. For if you enter a situation doing the same thing and expecting a different result, what do you get? But if you change but one aspect of your involvement in the interaction, you cannot help but get a reflection of that change. Simply allow your eyes to look for the reflection of the change rather than what is still the same. Then you will be validating according to the new preferred belief rather than re-anchoring yourself to the old belief by using its results as validation. Do you understand?
Elan
Yes. In a loving way, always. And if you are not feeling that you are able in a moment to make a communication in a loving way, then the issues are internal issues. For it is not that they are being obnoxious by pushing your button; it will behoove you to look at why you have such a button. That is the only thing you can affect.
Asker
All right. Great. Therefore, it is no longer harassment if you refuse to be harassed. You refuse to be moved from your center. And you can communicate this in a loving way—the way you would prefer they interacted with you. So somebody is providing some example of that for them to blatantly see. Yes. We thank you.
Elan
Thank you. Shutting.
Asker
Over there: Um, this week I’ve—or in the past few months—I’ve created this situation in my job, and it’s progressed where it’s negative, and I’m being switched from my present position into something else. And I need to make a choice this weekend whether I would like to continue or, I guess, make a separation.
Elan
What excites you the most?
Asker
I’m thinking that this is—even though it seems anticipated for too soon—it seems like an opportunity for me to make a change that I need to make.
Elan
All right. But what excites you the most in making the choice?
Asker
No, in life.
Elan
Oh, I’m still working on that.
Asker
All right. Are you through? No?
Elan
Oh, all right. I’ll give you another moment.
Asker
No, no, I’m saying I’m still searching.
Elan
There is no need to search for what is right in front of your face. What excites you? Do not hear the voices talking you out of it. Do not hesitate. When I ask you what excites you, what comes to mind?
Asker
Not being constrained by this place, because I feel it’s a place where there’s a lot of fear.
Elan
All right. Now, there is some information in that answer, but I did not ask you what does not excite you. What does—with Kenny? We did the program, and I like that very much.
Asker
Oh, all right. One example, in that sense, would be to involve yourself in programs of that sort. What else?
Elan
Communication excites me very much.
Asker
What is the nature of the job you now have?
Elan
It’s secretarial, and it was covering—partly in communication.
Asker
And now that you are transforming it, it is changing face. Does the new presentation have the parameter of the ability to communicate in it or not? Does the new job still have communications within it?
Elan
I could keep up that part of it, yes. I could keep that part of it, but it is not built into the definition. No, because it’s working for a whole department, and it just seems like a step down rather than a step up.
Asker
Do you feel you deserve a step down?
Elan
No.
Asker
All right. You have your answer. It will always be an option to settle for less, and you can if you wish do so. But you may wish to consider that you do deserve anything that with integrity you desire. You do not have a desire to dangle a carrot out in front of you that you can never get. Your desire—your excitement—is an indication of not only what is available to you, but what you have the capability to act upon. You are, in that sense, as many individuals are—perhaps you can say—utilizing an earlier analogy at a crossroads. But this crossroads, in that sense, opens you to infinite possibilities. You can simply choose according to, in that sense, your obligation—your sense of what everyone knows you should do—or you can begin to cue in to what moves you, what excites you, and to whatever degree you are able, act and move in that direction. When you get to moments where you are not able to act upon it, again from what is available, act using your excitement to choose. And that is the simplest, in that sense, perhaps you can say advice that we can render.
Elan
If I do choose to move away, is the—then the trust that you now perhaps have that things won’t work out or you’ll lose your security—you can move over a little bit to the right and trust in the new preferred you. For in a sense, when you speak of the old job that perhaps is not representative of who you are as providing security, what truly is the definition of that security? The ability to continue to do the things that are not reflective of who you are? And from our perspective, that is not truly secure.
Asker
So you feel that a change will also provide me with the financial needs that I require?
Elan
Well, by definition, if you follow and act upon your excitement, the universe provides whatever abundance is necessary, in that sense, to continue to be that you—just as it has provided the abundance to be, perhaps you can say, not you. So therefore, yes, you can assume that. But again, we remind you that abundance is an ability and not one particular symbol of money.
Asker
How can I develop more the ability to project my future—or rather than creating a negative event to make a positive change?
Elan
Very simple. In the moment that you feel something is occurring that you consider negative, again, allow that interpretation of the negativity to come through. Remind yourself and thank the old you for providing it, and give yourself a new alternative with your imagination—the tool of your imagination. Conjure up the preferred you. State the belief—the preferred belief of the preferred you. Allow yourself to feel what it feels like to believe that. Allow yourself to think the thoughts that one would think if they believed that and felt it. Then allow your imagination in that given situation to provide what the new preferred you would do in that situation. Look at what the new preferred you would do. Look at what the perhaps, quote unquote, old you would have done. Then it will be simple to choose. Then you will be acting according to your preference and can only then get back a reality reflective of your preference. Use your imagination in a positive way—not to project “what if” futures, but to lay down a model or a template for how to be right now in the present. Then, before you act, always give yourself at least one other option. When you have a negative interpretation, you always have the opportunity to immediately act, or take a step back. And upon taking that step back, you can then provide other options, which will most often—because they are representative of who you are—be far more attractive and far more effortless to do, if only you allow yourself to think of them.
Asker
This weekend I was told that people have different lights, and mine was told to be yellow. Now, this fluctuates, meaning—what? What was—I didn’t go further into it, but could you say anything further on at this time?
Elan
We are not fully comprehending the reference. Can you be more specific?
Asker
Well, I think the colors were white, black, yellow, and blue.
Elan
Well, again, what was shared with you is arbitrary. If you adopt it, if you buy into it, it can be your reality. But you can simply also use it as an example of something you do not prefer, if indeed the effect is something that would hold you back. It is up to you. It is not etched in stone in that way, no. But that is one way to look at it. It is not the only way. What does that mean? That perhaps you can say you have a yellow light at this moment, for you are hesitating. You are perhaps proceeding with caution. You can simply turn it to a green light.
Asker
Okay. I also wanted to say that the letting go is working well.
Elan
Oh, thank you. Letting go is the exercising of your control—not forcing and making something to happen. For as we had said, change is one of the only constants, and change only occurs not by forcing, but by the allowance, which is not by definition a gripping posture, but a releasing one. We thank you.
Asker
Thank you, Alan.
Elan
There will be time for but a few more sharings.
Asker
Male: Um, I’m having some—well, let me just say hello. And I’ve spoken with you before about my son and his illness, and I use some of the techniques that you told me with him.
Elan
All right. One moment. Can you speak up and begin again?
Asker
Okay. I’ve spoken with you before about my son who is ill, and we were having some difficulty with him dealing with his illness. And the information that you gave me last time about helping him look at that has been successful.
Elan
Oh, thank you. And for those present, please share the nature of the illness.
Asker
My son has cancer—has a cancerous bone tumor. He was diagnosed at 10, and he’s now come to the end of his chemotherapy. But what had been happening is his inability to deal with that—seeing only negative things about that. And what we were trying to do is to get him to look at things in a more positive light so that he could move on.
Elan
Now, may I ask you a question? Understand that when an individual creates a symbol such as this, that also by definition involves other individuals, including yourself. Understand that the lessons, in that sense, that have been chosen have been chosen by all, including yourself. So your willingness to glean at how that symbol not only is within your life but serves you provides a living reflective example that can, as you say, take the edge off the atmosphere and allow him to see that you are gleaning it. You, in that sense, are using this creation. He can do without insisting that he does.
Asker
Things are going better, but my question about him tonight really doesn’t deal with that, but deals with his relationship with his father. All right. He’s having—the two of them are having a great deal of trouble. And I was wondering if you could see anything that would help me to help the two of them.
Elan
Well, first of all, what is your perception of the nature of what you are calling the trouble?
Asker
I think my son is very angry about a number of things, and this anger is coming out, and it’s being directed right now at his father.
Elan
All right. Now, what is the, shall we say, reaction of the father? For understand that this is, in a sense, a co-creation.
Asker
A great deal of concern, guilt—guilt—and I think putting some guilt back onto the child.
Elan
Ah. Now, do you know what guilt is? Guilt—not hate—is the true opposite of love. Hate is a polarized expression of love but still contains, by definition, some deservability in there. Guilt is, in the least, the moment you are experiencing it, a total lack of sense of self-deservability. So this simple elucidation of that definition can allow—if he prefers, for it is always up to them—the husband to look at that guilt when it comes up, perhaps replacing that guilt with unconditional self-love. And then when he does, when he feels that unconditional self-love, that will reflect back to the child. For the issuance of the guilt, quote unquote, to the child is only possible if he first experiences it himself, as well as the love. For you can only love another, per se, as your Bible says, as you love yourself—which pre-supposes that you do. So the father’s willingness—being that he has, perhaps you can say, at least in this life more experience—to begin to look at instances in which he feels complete lack of self-worth and deservability, reassigns the unconditional self-love, will then automatically have his actions subtly affected toward the child in that way, and will allow the child to match the unconditional love, just as the child now matches the guilt. And guilt, by definition, shall we say, slows down the healing. For healing—the allowance of wellness—occurs within an aligned being. An unconditionally self-loving being automatically aligns. One who feels unworthy and undeserving, in that sense, is misaligned, so to speak, with their higher purpose. Now, this can relate to you in your relationship to this situation as well.
Asker
I’ve never thought about looking at it that way, and now—
Elan
Well, thank you for using us as a mirror. That does—that does make sense.
Asker
But what do you think my role would be in trying to help them?
Elan
Speaking about some of the things we are sharing—to the degree that you feel excited about sharing it and being your version of what we are speaking about. Which is all that you can ever do for another person anyway. By being responsible for yourself and being willing to express who you are, you are automatically responsible to other beings. You cannot be responsible for anyone else, but you can be responsible to them. So therefore, where the issues affect you and you find yourself reacting rather than acting from your centered, preferred self, you can now begin to call up that centered, preferred self. Begin to use your imagination to provide a mold, much in the way that we have just discussed, and begin to perform the actions that are consistent with your own version of self unconditional love and service—and unconditional love and service to others as well. The removal of those conditions will take off what you perhaps are labeling to be much of the pressure of the situation. So be a clear reflection of who you are in love and in light. And should you find yourself experiencing degrees of lack of self-love, use that reflection—interact with it. Okay. Is that practical enough?
Asker
Yes, actually. That does give me some good ideas about what to do and what maybe my role has been in this whole thing as well.
Elan
And there is a high degree of likelihood that should you, in that sense, as you say in your slang, nip this in the bud right now, that there can be an accelerated period of what you call healing within the next three of your months, depending upon your ability and willingness to express your ability to unconditionally love in this way.
