Elan
I’m trying to find out what my purpose in life. Every time I seem to make advances and feel uh as though I’m going along in a positive manner. Like I said, if I was a cat with nine lives, I wouldn’t be. I mean, it’s I’ve had near-death experiences. It’s like I’m being knocked back.
Elan
In your most natural state of understanding yourself, what is it that you would see yourself doing in your life that is most exciting and at the same time fulfilling to you?
Asker
Uh, painting spiritual images. Working with children. Doing what you’re doing – channeling and saying words and things that I’ve never heard of before.
Elan
You are all consumate experts at what your purpose is. Now, first of all, your purpose in life overall were you to say, “I have a one purpose is to simply be the best version of yourself that you can possibly be most fully, most purposefully, most consciously. Your subpurposes, if you will, your situational circumstantial purposes stand out in relief from the infinity of possibilities as the things that are exciting to you, that you feel passionate about, that attract you, that you can act upon with integrity, which is simply the knowingness that all things exist within you and are an extension of you. And so therefore, unless you find that this should change for you, those are your purposes. What you call channeling, what you call working with children, and what you call the visual art. Now, to what degree have you committed to do these things, and to what degree do you resist doing them?
Asker
I seem scattered with it. I I seem like I you know I only have so much energy and every time
Elan
By the way you do have an infinite amount of energy but we’ll get into that later perhaps. Do you find that you are effectively doing any one of the three? All right. Then perhaps as a simple means of focus, lay them all out before you. Allow your sense of discernment to be obvious in that one of them will stand out as seeming right now, the only time there is right now as more exciting than the other two. And to whatever degree you have at your resources to do so, do that thing. You will no longer be scattered. You will create something. Whatever you create will have an effect and then new opportunities will present themselves that you can then choose between with the same criteria. Which one stands out as being the most passionate and most exciting? Does this seem at all desirable? Using your sense of discernment to define your own sense of purpose.
Asker
Then all there is left to do is to purposefully allow yourself to do so. Period. And I assume when you do, you’ll sound just a tad bit more excited about it.
Elan
I was just wondering about the origin of this being.
Asker
The origin of this being is what you would call very ancient ties to yourself without necessarily needing to be too specific. Perhaps it would be more relevant to what you would perceive or consider to be lives or incarnations that are generally apart from your earth lives or earth incarnations. However, there is also a direct earth relationship there as well. But simply, it is a pat on the back, a loving nudge, a loving nod, and it is still you and your power that creates. And by being willing to focus that power as a lightning bolt, you will find very quick acceleration of positive results from that commitment, so to speak. Thank you very much. Appreciate it.
Elan
Where is this, as you say in your vernacular, hanging up for you or I assume were a person to say to me, you can now do your most exciting thing. I might be a bit enthused about it. Where’s your hesitation? Where is the resistance coming from?
Asker
I think I lacks I lack confidence um in uh being able to make a livelihood other than teaching with painting or with I mean I’ve been on my own since I was 16 and financially I I I’m hesitant about trying to make it in the painting world.
Elan
May I ask you a question? Have things that do not excite you and are not a reflection of your joy and passion? Have such things ever supported you in your life?
Asker
Yes.
Elan
Well, I I do teach children. I I do teach them drawing.
Asker
I understand. But what I am asking is have you found that certain things do support you even though they are not very exciting to you?
Elan
I can do that. It’s like a part-time job.
Asker
Have you been able to support yourself?
Elan
Yes, I have.
Asker
When you are able to support yourself, are the things that you are doing to support yourself exciting or not?
Elan
Yes.
Asker
Yes. And no.
Elan
Yes. And no. So, there are things that you do that do not excite you that do support you.
Asker
Yes.
Elan
All right. Where then do you have the assumption that something that does excite you, which tells you it is a direct reflection of who you are, and remember you are extra sensitive to these things, have any less likelihood of supporting you at least as much if not more than something that is completely unrepresentative of who you are?
Asker
Where did this assumption come from? Now you do not need to answer for it is not really important where the assumption did come from. You are expressing that assumption and by simply being willing to shift your point of view to look at it that way. Things that have not excited me have supported me. Therefore, something that does excite me that I would be fully committed to spring out of bed energetically in the morning to do has a slight advantage to support me over things that truly make me miserable. Does this make any sense? Is this sinking in? Are you slightly more excited about the visual art for instance? Now,
Elan
yes, I am. If I were to tell you you can be rich with your art, what would your response be?
Asker
I I I don’t I mean I don’t see I don’t think about being rich.
Elan
All right. You can support yourself abundantly and do whatever you wish to do only having your art as a thing to do. What is your response to that?
Asker
My art means more to me uh not a in a materialistic fashion.
Elan
All right.
Asker
Does that preclude the idea of allowing it to support you abundantly? However,
Elan
very shy. I’m totally confused.
Asker
The idea is this. There are built-in assumptions going on with many of you that the thing that brings you passion for some reason perhaps it’s too good to be true cannot support you or will not support you. That is a decision that you make. Now perhaps it has never been posed to you that way that you have defined yourself decided this is who I am and built into that decision is the idea that the thing that you are most passionate about which as I have said is your purpose at least for now till your passion shifts cannot support you and the idea is it can support you and it can support you beyond things that support you that you are half-heartedly committed to and so in introducing this idea And in introducing the idea that you deserve, that what brings you passion can also support you. How does that feel?
Elan
That would be wonderful.
Asker
Well, you now sound like you mean it. Now, if I tell you beyond the shadow of a doubt this can be true for you, how does that feel?
Elan
Great.
Asker
I um still has some hesit hesitancy about it to be honest. I’m not
Elan
all right. Well, that is simply because you are not agreeing with me. But you can start at the stage of entertaining what I am saying. And as it becomes that much more attractive, it begins to take on the weight of something that becomes most desirable to you, which is enough to motivate you. Now, I do not by any means ask you to take my word for it. Were it to have happened that you did and then you got the emotional feeling of joy that you get, I would have simply told you the joke is on you. It’s all you and I am simply a symbol of how it would feel if you make the decision. So perhaps for now entertain what I am saying. It seems to have shifted your posture and begin to realize that nothing is too good to be true. Expressing yourself, doing the thing that brings you joy and passion, which only adds to yourself, adds to your planet, adds to your society, is completely deservant of compensation that allows you to express yourself and survive as you say, effortlessly and abundantly. And because this is a desirable idea to you, that is the first step toward considering allowing yourself that degree of freedom.
Elan
Are you willing to play around with that?
Asker
Yes, I am.
Elan
All right. Then you will draw to yourself new opportunities, so to speak.
Asker
Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
Elan
And I to you as well, for we all gain from these interactions. Shedding
Asker
live
Asker
mail. Elon,
Elan
greetings, my friend.
Asker
And who are you? Good evening.
Asker
Um, synchronistically, I saw a film the other day about it was about Mother Teresa. And what I got from it was that
Elan
you can accept things the way they are.
Asker
And I,
Elan
by the way, that does not necessarily mean for settle for things that you do not desire, but it allows you to at least start out working with what’s there. And so the distinction is drawn between settling for something because it is less than you desire and expect versus using something because it’s right there to use.
Asker
I found it pretty sobering just because it it helped me to just relax into some things that I was pretty stressed about. Just accepting it and allowing them to be what they are. Not trying to con create some not trying to push it. You know, you can’t push the river. And um it was it was a nice thing that that released a lot and was just a nice little cleansing I had.
Elan
By the way, I thank you for the analogy which has been in that sense expressed to members of your society before which is the idea that you cannot stop the flow of the river by the idea of controlling and forcing but by allowing and purposefully allowing you can divert its flow to the direction that you desire. Excellent analogy. Proceed.
Asker
Thank you. Um, my questions actually were a lot of them have been answered tonight, which is really nice and brave and I didn’t even expect to speak.
Elan
All right. But what?
Asker
But what I’m still excited about actually about three symbols that have been coming to me. One is about hand gestures. In different cultures, we’ve all they have uh different hand gestures. Even Andrew’s having gestures when he speaks. as you speak and uh the eastern Indians have gestures that are very profound and I was wondering if you could comment on that
Elan
simply again there are many different interpretations for gestures but would you in that sense like to participate in the following idea more or less and I say this loosely a universal gesture for I come in peace is the idea that you would perceive of as your arms down like this and slightly out and were you to approach for instance a member of my society in this way it would be quite understood that you are embracing us so to speak
Asker
that’s nice um I’m speaking more about the one uh they call it the gan mutantra actually I think and it’s a pose with the index finger attached to the thumb and you know you’ve seen this in painting with Jesus at it too. And I was wondering about that energetically. What is that doing to the body and and what is it doing to the individual at that time?
Elan
In a sense, it is a symbol of completing the circuit in that sense closing and allowing yourself to function as a whole. It is largely symbolic but can also be experienced in what you call energetic terms. Many individuals will meditate in that posture as well where it closes the circuit. But again, this is all quite arbitrary. You are the circuit and the reality that you exist within is connected to the circuit that you are.
Asker
Yeah, I I know that. Yeah, this is there’s some pretty ancient cultures that have been using this for long.
Elan
Body language. Yes.
Asker
Yeah, it’s body language. I guess it’s like petrolist and then eventually the alphabet.
Elan
Nice. There are certain symbols in your society which are also quite negatively interpreted which I will not demonstrate at this time. However, to other societies that may be in a sense affectionate display.
Asker
Somehow I knew you were.
Elan
All right.
Asker
Quickly, the second symbol is about the u the idea of fasting. We were talking about foods we eat. Allergies we soal are created and different things that we can do for our body coming from the outside in. Now when one fasts for some reason they go through a cleansing and they’re really pure.
Elan
Well generally again the idea is that they are beginning to and this is all quite symbolic. I will use your language but it is not accurate cleanse their consciousness which generally means begin to be more purposeful about their expression and everything else falls into place.
Asker
So, but the idea of no food, no sustenance going into the body, but fluids, that’s saying to the body that what is it saying? It’s
Elan
form of a rest, self-sufficiency. The idea of not relying on external sustenance, perhaps using that opportunity to turn within to allow yourself to not need to be nurtured from an external source.
Asker
That is one conceptual way to look at it. Right. Because um I I fasted recently quite a long time and I I really cleansed out a lot. I was able to breathe so clearly. I I was a different person. Not to mention
Elan
Well, you always are.
Asker
Yeah. I mean, I was seeing God within few days.
Elan
Ah, starve your way to higher consciousness. All right.
Asker
By the way, look in the mirror. You can do that anytime. But it it was amazing and it’s a it’s I thought, “Oh my god, you know, it would be nice not to eat. We do like this all the time.” But that’s not what I wanted to do after four days. I was like, “I want to eat now.”
Elan
All right.
Asker
And it was I just was interested in that mechanism because we were just talking about foods and sustenance and how, you know, take it in. Right now, my body’s going through a lot of changes and um I’m I have fatigue. I have all these things that were mentioned tonight. And I know that there are inner stuff, you know, going on. It’s belief system.
Elan
You can ascribe it to what you call the bill of goods that surrounds you. Or you can simply realize, all right, what causes fatigue conceptually, consciousnessly?
Asker
Resistance,
Elan
right? What am I resisting? I’m resisting myself. What is it about myself I wish to express? You come up with that answer. Are you doing it or not? Plain and simple. When you are willing to commit and dive into what it is you know to be true for yourself, the infinite reservoir of energy that you are, not that you possess, not that you express, but that you are, is at your disposal. For when you are willing to allow rather than resist, you have all the energy you need. But it is very tiring to resist yourself. And so therefore, should you choose not to resist yourself, should you choose to dive into purposefully expressing who you are, all of these other issues again naturally fall into place. You’re attracted to drink this, you’re attracted to eat that. You will find yourself not hungry in circumstances where you used to be. And if you will trust the mechanism of how you attract your reality, allow yourself to be in the moment about it, you will find what is generally referred to as obsessive types of eating, obsessive types of behavior will simply transform, for they are no longer relevant to a person committed to being themselves most fully. These are types of pacifications and external seekings that result from resistance of the self, not allowance. So allow yourself to be yourself fully. Dive into it, trust it,
Asker
and revel in the joy of the results that you get from no longer withholding who you are. When you no longer withhold who you are, you get into synchronous flow with your reality. And whatever inflow and outflow that you attract and expel will be natural. like taking a breath.
Elan
Absolutely. Thanks.
Asker
Thank you as well.
Asker
Can I ask you one more
Elan
briefly?
Asker
No, never mind.
Elan
All right.
Asker
One moment. Simply in closing, you are the river. You cannot damn yourself up,
Elan
but you can divert yourself toward the direction that is most representative of who you are effortlessly. Allow that to sink in. All right.
Asker
Thank you.
Elan
I thank you.
Asker
Female
Asker
Elan. It’s a pleasure to be with you here this evening.
Elan
All right. And with you as well, though I am not physically present.
Asker
Thank you. I have had this feeling ever since I was a little girl of incredible incredible energy.
Elan
Incredible energy. Proceed
Asker
incredible energy within the center of my chest. I um am a very energized energetic person. I do lots of creative things. But when I see something or feel something, this feeling that comes through me is so powerful. It um the only way I feel that I can express it is usually through um
Elan
not
Asker
is crying. It’s like um it’s not that it’s a sad situation and sometimes it is
Elan
tears of ecstasy. You are the river. You can allow yourself to express it, allow yourself to have any of the natural, shall I say, responses to it. And the more you are willing to express it and not hold it back, the less difference you will seem to feel with what you call your normal state of consciousness.
Asker
And I feel that I really do do that. I allow myself to be with what comes up. My question is, how can I use this energy in a more um positive light or to channel it in a way that is of a to the highest good.
Elan
Express the appreciation that you feel in physical terms. In other words, you feel something, you have an appreciation, your attention is upon something. Now, what can you physically go and do with it? And you will find that to be, shall I say, the piece of the puzzle you are seeking.
Elan
Do you understand what I am saying?
Asker
Move your body around. Get involved. Do something with it. Allow your very action to be the expression of it rather than merely a passive response, so to speak.
Asker
You will find this to be useful and motivating.
Elan
And I feel that I really do that in in many many different ways. Um,
Asker
can you creatively create new ways?
Elan
Yes.
Frustration
Asker
Um I’ve spoken uh many times in here of frustration with not being where I want to be in my career.
I took a big step in February. I went to California and took this program that would train me to go out and teach organizations how to pollute less and be more environmentally sustainable. It was a really hard experience for me because it involved a lot of public speaking, which makes me nervous. And I didn’t think I was going to make it, but it turned out that I I did well in it. By the way, you’re not expecting surprise from me, are you? I mean, it it felt like what I wanted to do, but it was it took a tremendous amount of effort for me to get out there and do it and show up.
Elan
Fundamentally, did it really take so much effort? Or was it perhaps the resistance to doing so that made it seem that way? In other words, when you actually got up, isn’t it truly accurate that it was no big deal? Well, there there were some really magical experiences when I when I could let go of the fear and just speak and it it came out very well. So, yeah, it did seem to flow, but there were times when I was really petrified petrified.
Would you be willing to perhaps redefine what you are calling petrified as the idea of intense excitement with a slight negative interpretation?
Asker
Yes, I’ I’d definitely I’d be willing to do that. I’m sure that it’s true. Um the question that I had is um is I’m still experiencing a version of that now in my life since I’ve come back. Things are accelerating. Like you’ve said, I’m meeting a lot of interesting people. Other career opportunities are are opening for me that that seem interesting. And it and this seems like an opening to a doorway in my career that I want to be out expressing not only the environmental stuff but more of the things that you talk about here. And at the same time I’ve been feeling a lot of uh uh fear which I I think has been leading me to do stuff like compulsively eat or um just you know at times uh act in old patterns or you know be arrogant.
Elan
it is my perception that it is not so much the fear that we are discussing.
It is again the fear of the fear and that actually just the fear itself is only a minor hesitation. But being afraid to be afraid compounds the idea. And ultimately allowing yourself to feel afraid is the expression of being willing to embrace and use the fear rather than resisting the fear by being afraid of it. Is this getting too confusing?
Asker
Well, I have I’m supposed to present this one day seminar a week from uh today. And um
Elan
by the way, it is my perception, although it is not generally my practice to say so that it will go very marvelously, but do proceed.
Asker
Really, it it was okay. It wasn’t even clear that it was going to go forward at at this point. It’s scheduled, but they were talking about cancelling it.
Elan
All right. Perhaps you will have more of a participating role in that. Do proceed.
Asker
The um I wanted to ask how then could I use the fear that I have around that in a positive way?
Elan
Let it go. Feel it, then talk to it. But first, feel it. Let it play out. Fear is not an infinite emotion that never ends. Only resisting the fear, being afraid to fear, or not allowing yourself to fully trust that that emotion in this instance, right here, right now, will bring you a little tidbit of information that you can use when you’re finished fearing. Because all these emotions when you finally allow yourself to feel them get to the point where you go all right now what then the information is there and useful and ultimately it is always the same thing that will transform it completely which is standing up and doing the thing. Are you willing to face and embrace that fear?
Asker
Understanding that you’ve already done it many times and it has never overwhelmed you.
Elan
It’s true. I I I I’m willing to do it and I I will do it.
Asker
Are you willing to go one step further and assume that just maybe perhaps you can use something in there
Elan
positive way? Oh yes.
Asker
All right. Then get excited and find what that is
Elan
and suddenly fear becomes anticipation.
Asker
It could be a motivator to do a good job. Well, you will do a good job now, won’t you?
Elan
Yes.
Asker
Are you willing to commit to it?
Elan
To commit to doing a good job.
Asker
Yes.
Elan
Then there is no room for hope, is there?
Asker
No.
Elan
All right.
Asker
Okay.
Elan
On your way.
Asker
Thank you. Thank you.
Elan
And I thank you for you have spoken marvelously at this gathering and allowed other individuals to also glean from what it is you are exploring. Do not think unless you insist that you’re the only one that feels this.
Asker
There there was another question that I wanted to ask if if that’s okay about uh relationships. I’ve often felt that once I got beyond the block in my career that I would attract in a a partnership for, you know, a long-term relationship and um it feels like that could happen, but there’s also like a lot of neediness and and fear of rejection around uh meeting the woman that that I would marry.
Elan
Is that who you see yourself to be needy and fearing rejection? Or if you had your brothers, would you perhaps decide to define yourself in slightly different terms?
Asker
Yes, I I redefine myself.
Elan
Allow yourself to be in touch with how you define yourself and then when that comes up, it is simply an idea to realign back to the preferred decision. Period. Which makes it very useful and each time it comes up a wonderful opportunity.
Elan
Everything that you implement has worked. Again, not to say anything that we are suggesting is any better than anything anyone else is doing,
Asker
but has it not performed flawlessly? When you employ it,
Elan
it it has worked and there’s been some amazing synchronicity in my life lately.
Asker
All right. When you employ it consistently,
Elan
then the synchronicity takes on a whole new momentum. And what many of you have experienced as a barrage of negative occurrences becomes a barrage of positive synchronicity, a barrage of opportunities appearing seemingly from nowhere, which we have sometimes referred to as the ecstatic explosion of coincidence and synchronicity.
