Asker
I’d like to ask a question though about the first session of these three, about keeping the vision—clarifying your vision.
Asker
Elan
Elan
Vision.
Asker
Um, you led us through a meditation, and you did mention something. You were leading me on about something that excited me that I wasn’t able to perceive, and I’ve been thinking about it for the past month or two. And I ended up even writing down five things that excite me. And is there anything else you want to add?
Asker
Elan
Elan

You are doing just fine. Keep on keeping on, and understand your answers are delivered through the results of your actions in your reality. It is not that I am a sole source of this information.

I also remind you, and all of you, that our stream of consciousness—and this is again an analogy; it is colloquial, not literal—but is consistently beamed to your reality.

This is simply a colloquialism, but the point is that you can tap into our stream at any time, any one of you. And you can, in that sense, communicate with me or members of my society.

To the degree that you are willing to validate what you get, and the degree that you are willing to act upon what you get, will show you, again through the results of the actions of your life, certain things, and will be part of the dialogue. It is not that we only communicate in merely what you would perceive to be language or words, but also are able to reflect and interact with you through the circumstances, the manifestations of your life. So in communicating with us, if you simply have a broad understanding and do not assume we only communicate in one way, you can validate where and when you feel that we are, in that sense, co-creating an interaction.

But do understand once again that you always ultimately choose from the options, including what we share as an alternative. You ultimately perform the actions, and you ultimately get the credit.

Asker
So you’re suggesting these five things that I came up with is one of those things that you were mentioning or suggesting, and will allow you to enjoy them all.
Asker
Asker

Yeah, I enjoy them all. I could do them all at once instead of narrowing it down to one. Um, I have kind of an outer cosmic question. I had a so-called visitation through a visualization of your “You Are Home” tape.

I perceived I went to a spaceship, a mothercraft, and I was led very quickly, or pointed in a direction by you, I think, to a corridor that I was able to see the star systems.

It had a lot of details to it, but in essence, I was led to a conference room, so to speak, that was meant for visiting societies, as my own and someone else. And I perceived Sirian society once again, which always pops up in my relationship with them. And I came into this white light, this room, and I perceived these vertical beams of light, very clear. And I know that the information that they shared was very important. I don’t remember, or I’m not clear on what it is.

Asker
Elan
Elan
Again, only as important as it is useful and practical in your reality. Receiving nice information, again, is all well and good, but something that you can act upon, do something about, is again the bottom line, and then allows for the furthering of any lines of communication if that is the necessary path of communication. So ground your messages by inserting what you can do about it. Do not let information simply be information for information’s sake. “What can I do about this?” is a question that you can always ask in any situation.
Asker
Well, I’m asking you now. What can I do?
Asker
Elan
Elan
Without you asking me about doing something from information from another source, which you can then simply ask the source directly, and that then puts you in the position to trust what you are getting, or trust that you are not getting the right thing. Therefore, go with it. Go with the source that you are sharing. Do not ask me about that.
Asker
Okay. Because, you know, my relationship with that society, it seems so kind of unusual to me. I’m not sure how to ground it and how to use it. What can I do about this?
Asker
Elan
Elan
That simple question, from whatever you get, sometimes will yield a, “Well, there’s nothing I can really do about that.” But more times than not, you’ll say, “Ah, I can actually apply that to what I was just looking at before. Interesting. Now you are grounding.”
Asker
What I came up with the most is that I want to see this. I would like to create that so others can see what I saw.
Asker
Elan
Elan
That’s that. And what is the reasoning for needing to show this to others?
Asker
I think it’s a beautiful thing. I think it’s a great experience.
Asker
Elan
Elan
To some degree, yes. But there is also the validation of what you are seeing. And you do not need anyone else for that validation. Simply validate it yourself. Share your version of it, and then those that are so attracted will then allow themselves to achieve a receptive state for similar types of experience.
Asker
So I want to be clear about this. So you’re suggesting that I just continue to ask them?
Asker
Elan
Elan
If you continue to have a dialogue, I am simply suggesting that whatever you get, you ask yourself: what can I do in this reality with this information? That is my only suggestion.
Asker
Right. Because then it will lead to the next thing, and there will be no need to ask, for you will be fully engaged in your reality, and as you say, one thing will simply lead very smoothly and directly to the next. All right. Okay. I guess I thank you.
Asker
Elan
Elan
You need not guess, but it is always your option. Thank you for everything.
Asker
And to you as well, for you have created everything.
Asker
Asker
Hi. And to you, greetings. Greetings. I also want to thank you very much for visiting with us for so long. Really helped me a lot.
Asker
Elan
Elan
We thank you for being gracious hosts and hostesses.
Asker
Um, the question—one of the questions I wanted to ask—deals with my career. I’ve been, as I’ve said before, I’ve taken about two and a half years off to explore a number of different options and find my heart’s desire to do in my career. And I think one of the things that I’ve done to give me a little bit of time is get some consulting work. And what I’m doing is analyzing strategies of utilities for a company in California that’s offered me a job in Washington. Now the work has been very difficult for me to do at home, just doing it once a week. So the idea of commuting into Washington, wearing a suit, working eight to six every day, analyzing companies that are stuck in the status quo, is not exciting to me.
Asker
Elan
Elan
Um, what excites you? Do you, in that sense, trust, however, that it will support you?
Asker
Yeah.
Asker
Asker
It’s financially supporting me. What does excite me is, when I look at the TV and see all the stuff going on in the world, I get a tremendous feeling of energy going through me—that kind of intuitive confirmation of what you said earlier, that yes, the world definitely is accelerating rapidly into this time of transformation—when I see all the stuff happening in the economy and in the political realm around the world. And using my business background and stuff that I’ve learned from you and other spiritual sources, I want to somehow write or perpetuate something that will shift us to a mode of cooperation rather than competition as a way to deal with the issues that the world is facing right now.
Asker
Elan
Elan
And this excites you?
Asker
Yes. Yeah.
Asker
Elan
Elan
Therefore, it is a representation of who you choose to be.
Asker
Yes.
Asker
Elan
Elan
Do you then assume, as you have with the thing that perhaps did not excite you, that this will support you as well? And before you answer: there is sometimes a tendency in your society for individuals to believe that something which does not excite them somehow has more power to provide that financial type of support than something that does. This is a belief. There are actions then performed with that foundational belief which may make that seem like a reality. But that is only, again, the results of those actions. So understanding that: if what does not excite me supports me this much, what does excite me must then support me that much more, for it is that much more a representation of who I am. And you act that way with that expectancy. You will then demonstrate to yourself, in no uncertain terms, that what excites you can support you in no uncertain terms.
Asker
Well, I guess the question that I have is: if this is the only thing that’s available, even if it doesn’t excite me, is it the step that I should take? Trusting it’ll bring me to my ultimate goal? I have a little bit of money, so I’ve got a few months, and I have to take the offer within this month, and if I don’t, I’ll have a few more months to look for something else and perhaps write the thing that I’ve wanted to do but haven’t really done yet.
Asker
Elan
Elan
Do understand that what you are asking me is obviously completely up to you. I can only say that in a similar situation, faced with an alternative that excited me and one that did not, that I personally would trust the excitement. But that, again, is completely up to you. And again, the issue that comes into play is your belief in what will support you. And now that you are beginning to understand that excitement is a representation of who you are, you may now begin to redefine then that obviously it will support you that much more readily, or it would not be an obvious reflection of who you choose to be. So therefore, begin to entertain the notion that in as much as what does not excite you supports you, that what does excite you will support you that much more. And begin to look for how that is true—not if it is true, but how it is true and how it expresses in your life, your reality.
Asker
Well, what I want to do is begin to manifest some way to be supported by my excitement, which requires taking action along those lines. And one of the things that I’ve wanted to do and haven’t done yet is writing the ideas that I have about economic reform down. Really what I want to do is just share love and stuff, and I’ve been doing that in smaller…
Asker
Elan
Elan
That is automatic, and that is something that can simply be present in each moment: sharing of the unconditional love of yourself and others as well. But in terms of what excites you, again, my particular choice in that aforementioned set of options would be to do what excites me beginning right now, and beginning to allow what excites me to support me. Notice the wording: not forcing it to support me, but allowing it to support me to whatever degree it will initially, but having then the clear intention that it supports me in a manner that I so desire.
Asker
I think that what delays me is questioning my ability to manifest the thing that excites me. Because when I sit there and look at the TV and get intuitive ideas popping into my consciousness about how we could resolve some of these things, then I say, “Well, wait a minute. Who am I?”
Asker
Elan
Elan
But you understand on some level that what does not excite you can support you. So you already buy into an idea that something can support you. Now you can begin to entertain the notion that dovetailing yourself with who you prefer to be obviously would support you to whatever level it will begin to support you, and you accept the support to the degree that it comes, then you can allow that to expand. But again, it is an allowance. What excites you will support you if you let it.
Asker
And then the issue that I have is the thing that’s blocking me from acting on it.
Asker
Elan
Elan
That’s, by the way: there is no thing blocking you. That assumes an external force. You are simply not doing it. One way—the way you said it—provides an excuse to continue not to do it. What I am saying provides the opportunity to begin in this moment to follow your excitement. Nothing blocks you but an assumption that something blocks you.
Asker
What I meant when I said something blocking me was unconscious beliefs that seem to sneak up on me when I’m trying to…
Asker
Elan
Elan
What? Okay, there we go. The bottom line is that they present themselves to your consciousness, thus becoming conscious. So simply allow them to do so in their timing. Trust that timing. Continue to follow your excitement if you are so inclined, and allow your excitement to support you to the level and degree that it will. That is a representation of who you are. And therefore, the abundance that you reap from it will, in that sense, be a multitudinous abundance.
Asker
Well, the first thing that I want to do in my excitement is to love myself and let go of the beliefs that I picked up in my childhood.
Asker
Elan
Elan
But you are already doing that, are you not? Yes, you are—now perhaps in strobe-like fashion, but nevertheless, sometimes is that strobe on, so you are expressing that self-love. First acknowledge that, so that at least you can give yourself the credit you deserve. Then continue from this moment forward from the two options: expressing the belief of self-loathing, or expressing the belief of self-love through action. Again, to perform the action consistent with the self-love. Period. Very simple. Nothing is blocking you.
Asker
Well, okay. Could I use two examples then to illustrate what I’m…
Asker
Elan
Elan
Well, you can, but I suggest: as many examples as you have, I will have something to say about.
Asker
The first one is I was at the gym today, and for the second time I saw this lady who I had a strongly negative reaction to—more so than I’ve ever had to anyone else—and it really confused me. I obviously didn’t like it, and I wondered if I had some kind of past-life experience. And I sat there thinking about it. Three weeks ago I was able to sit there and find peace by realizing that I felt somehow she had anger at me, or I felt somehow I had to please her, or something like that. And by centering myself and loving myself, I was able to feel comfortable in the situation. I didn’t do as well today. But I think the connection I made today is that it was a similar feeling, though more conscious, that I have towards my mother, or perhaps some anger.
Asker
Elan
Elan
Why, in that sense, have you chosen not to speak to that individual providing you such a grandiose service? The lady in the gym: you have attracted that scenario. Your attention has been so placed for a reason. It is not that she is the one extraneous thing in all creation, and it is not that it is specifically her is not significant. It is, therefore, entertain the notion that part and parcel of this exploration—though it is an exploration also of what you have shared—is of your willingness to allow that individual to provide an opportunity for you to integrate that symbol. So regardless of how you feel about your mother, your actions with this individual will be representative of the actions of an individual with self-love. And the resolve that you will feel in interacting with her will actually seem to have a retroactive effect to what you perceive to be the reaction from the mother. For now you are exercising the option to do something about it, where back then you did not. Okay? Therefore, thank the symbol, interact with the symbol, dive into it.
Asker
Um, well, I bring that up, like I’ve brought it up speaking with you before, about my mother, because having a critical mother, it seems that I perpetuate the self-criticism, which I want to let go of.
Asker
Elan
Elan
Then let go of it. Do not criticize yourself. As simple as that. If you feel criticism coming up, allow the referential preferential you to provide the accompanying compliments to balance it out. It is that simple. It will always be up to you. What was example number two?
Asker
The second example was I was at an ACIA meeting that I like and I’ve gone to for six years, and I was sharing, and someone criticized what I said.
Asker
Elan
Elan
Well, how exciting. Perhaps you did not view it that way. But it was an opportunity to allow that individual’s viewpoint to be valid, and not buying into his invalidation of your own. Therefore, quite loaded with advantage.
Asker
Well, I found myself obsessing about it for a couple of days and using my imagination.
Asker
Elan
Elan
By the way, the moment that you felt the judgment from that individual, you only felt it, and only can feel, your version of it. You did not feel the individual’s judgment. The individual’s mouth was moving. Words were coming out. Perhaps you can say, with no inherent meaning. You assigned the meaning, and assigned that the meaning had a particular spin to it. You created your reaction to that spin, but that reaction was to your matching of that judgment. A wonderful opportunity. Again, suggest that you thank the individual who did so, and simply understand that individuals are entitled to their opinion. If their opinion is different than yours, they are still entitled to it. And if you do not agree with what they are saying in criticizing you, you will not feel anything, and it will simply be a statement made by someone with no charge upon it.
Asker
Okay. Um, I’m going to a family reunion. I’m going to see my mother there next.
Asker
Elan
Elan
Before you proceed: both these instances left you with the opportunity to act. Opportunity one: act with the female individual. Opportunity two: interact with the criticizer. That is where you always can do something. You will create a similar scenario with either the same or different individuals, and this time will have a tendency toward interacting with them, diving into it: “Well, this individual is here for a reason. Saying what they are saying for a reason. I will interact with them assuming that they are here for a reason.” Therefore, you have some homework, perhaps you can say.
Asker
Yeah. Okay.
Asker
Elan
Elan
Do you understand what I am saying? To interact with them in a loving way, to understand that nothing stops you from acting. Nothing prevents you. Nothing is blocking your actions. And those actions can be incident-specific, specific to that incident. Someone speaks to you, reminds you of your mother berating you; speak to that individual, not your mother. Your mother’s not there. Be here. Be now. That individual is there for a reason. Your willingness to, as you say, grab the, shall I say, brass ring by the handle and use what you have created as an obvious reflection of something that will allow you to integrate parts within you that you still create as separate parts allows you to move in any situation. Nothing blocks you, nothing stops you. From this moment forward, I assume one of the options will be to interact with these individuals.
Asker
Interact in a way that kind of validates their right to have their own advantage, but also then allows you to assert to yourself and to others who you are in a loving way. That’s the question: how do I interact with them in a loving way when my feelings are hurt?
Asker
Elan
Elan
Your feelings are hurt because you are matching their criticism. First you forgive yourself, not blame them. When you forgive yourself, it will be quite simple to interact with them. And it will also be apparent, upon forgiving yourself, that they did nothing to you. You did it all, and therefore they provided a service. When you, in perceiving you are judged, match that judgment and feel judged, and then forgive yourself and cease judging yourself, you will feel appreciation toward the individual doing the judging. Forgive yourself in the moment. Unconditional love means no conditions upon yourself either. Okay? Therefore, nothing blocks you. And from this point forward, just decide, trust what you believe, act as though you trust what you believe. Act. Move. Interact. Talk. But act.
Asker
Okay. I want to get married soon and have children, but I’ve been afraid that I’m feeling trapped, or maybe wanting to leave after a while.
Asker
Elan
Elan
Well, you can’t have it both ways. So therefore, understand that you are expressing beliefs which may be, shall I say, conflicted with each other, and simply make up your mind. That is the degree of power that you have to decide your reality.
Asker
Well, my fears that undoubtedly unconscious stuff will come up and smirk my conscious intent.
Asker
Elan
Elan
Well, yes, emotions will come up from beliefs which you unconsciously hold. But when you ask yourself, “What must I believe to feel this?” and you say, “I must believe that,” the moment you say, “I must believe that,” it is no longer an unconscious belief. You are now conscious of it and have allowed what used to be a miserable emotion in your way to deliver it to you. Be willing to be that honest with yourself. Do not be afraid of what is in your subconscious. Embrace and welcome it. And then when it presents itself, decide whether it is still representative of who you are or not. But remember: when you know what you believe, it is no longer unconscious.
Asker
All right. Yes. Well, I think the thing that blocks me is residual stuff with my mother.
Asker
Elan
Elan
The thing that blocks you is you, and the definition that something blocks you. Something your mother said to you years ago has no effect on you whatsoever until you buy into that it does, and create the effect through action. That has nothing to do with what is actually going on. You are using that as an excuse. So simply allow yourself to release it. There is nothing there. You are at ground zero. You all are here, and now is the only time there is in the here. In the now, you have everything you need. Act, or don’t act. That is all there is to it. Do not blame your actions, or your willingness or unwillingness to act, on something in the past, for the only thing that seems to create that relationship is your blaming it on the past and then acting like the past has some effect on you. So then, yes, it seems to have that effect, but that’s the only reason—not because the past actually has that effect.
Asker
Well, I want to somehow find peace in that relationship, and I’m going to see her this weekend.
Asker
Elan
Elan
All right. But I remind you: find the peace that exists within you. There is no external tumult and no external peace. It is internal tumult reflected outwardly; internal peace reflected outwardly. Find the peace within you. Interact with her from the center of that inner peace, then you will recreate the definition of your relationship. And should she, in that new definition, feel the need to be critical, you will not buy into it; it will not affect you. You will respond differently because you are acting like a person not affected. She will no longer have her feedback, and she will no longer, shall I say, get satisfaction from the criticism—which, by the way, would only be so forthcoming from her to you if she criticizes herself to the same degree. So have the compassion for what she is creating to go through, rather than feeling the defensive. Understand? Yes, you are and have gotten this. Allow it to sink in, and allow your actions to reflect it. Then you will experience what I am saying rather than think about it. No need to thank me. However, you’re welcome.
