INTRODUCTION

Although I am Extraterrestrial and therefore live on

another planet, in no way do I see myself as better than you. I
have certain understandings that many of you may consider
more expanded than the common Earthling point-of-view, but it
is no better, only different.

I take this opportunity to communicate with you at this

time for several reasons. The most significant reason is timing.
It is time for you to attract the type of information that I have to
offer. Another reason is desire. You collectively desire to know
more about yourselves as Beings and as Creators. I desire to tell
you what I know. As a society, we already embody the ideas that
I am about to share with you. So, I know that what I say is so, and
that it will work.

I do not, in any way, insist that you believe what I am

saying because I am Extraterrestrial. You can only prove our
ideas to yourself by choosing to express them. My intention is to
merely share, and that is where my responsibility ends. As a
society, we utterly trust what we attract, and live the results of

i
that complete positive trust. We have attracted this opportunity
to share with you in this way. I invite you to trust what you attract
to yourself, and this book is no exception.

Our society has existed for many thousands of years as

one cohesive society, and we have learned many things about
ourselves. In our exploration of many other planetary societies,
we have also had the opportunity to learn many things about the
nature of reality.

We have only begun to observe your society relatively

recently and are only one of several species that are now
interacting with members of your planet. Our approach is one of
honoring your right to explore yourselves, and therefore our
presence, for the time being, remains in the background. One
day soon, that will most likely change. For now, I am allowed to
"break some ground" and interact with you through these
writings. When I say I am "allowed," I mean allowed by you.
Nobody has forced you to attract and read this communication,
so you do so of your own free will, desire and timing.

Life is a marvelous opportunity and experience and I

intend to explain why this is so. We share a common experience
with all of you. Although many of you still do not believe we exist,
we believe in you. I intend to lay the groundwork for our eventual
face-to-face interaction. I intend to share with you many things
about yourselves that you are only now awakening to as a global
society. I intend to explain why and when we may meet.

Join me and celebrate who you are and why you’ve

chosen to be here. Join me and together we will discover more
about each other. Although we no longer have names in our
society, for this purpose, you can refer to me as….

Chapter One

The Decision

Allow me to begin by expressing my unconditional love

and appreciation for your willingness to co-create this
interaction. We only respond to the request and desire to
interact in this way, and therefore each and every interaction
that we partake of is always the result of a co-creation of the
interaction.

During these channeled interactions, I do not in any way,

shape, or form, “inhabit” the body of any particular individual.
That is not the mechanism through which these interactions
take place. What occurs, is that any particular biological
individual or entity is enabled, through a process that we co-
create, to “empathetically” mimic the vibration of my
consciousness, the vibration of what you would refer to as my
"individuality," or my signature vibration.

So therefore, we co-create these interactions with any

respective "channel" and with any participants in any of these
1
 Your Power on a Plate
interactions. I therefore thank you once again for your
willingness to create such a joyful interaction, which brings us
great joy, as well.

You really already contain anything that you seek to

know, anything that you seek to experience, anything that you
seek to create. I can say this because I understand your nature
as a Being or a Beingness and each and every one of you are
multidimensional, Infinite, and eternal by nature ...
MULTIDIMENSIONAL, INFINITE, AND ETERNAL BY NATURE.

You are creating what you refer to as your "physical

lives" to partake of one option of creation, which is the
experience of what you call “linear reality." Linear reality
contains the idea that you call space, and therefore the idea of
time to seemingly move through that space and experience that
space.

The creation of “before, during and after” is one of the

sub-characteristics of linear reality, and in fact allows you to
experience yourself in such a way that makes it seem as though
you are not completely aware that you are indeed multi-
dimensional, Infinite and eternal.

The way that you create physical experience, linear

reality, and finite reality, is through a methodology in which you
create the apparency that you break down your consciousness
or shall I say ... gradiently express your consciousness. In other
words, you are inherently an all knowing, all seeing,
simultaneous, multi-dimensional, eternal, Infinite
consciousness ... and at this time you are expressing yourself to
seem as though you are: at first a lesser Being, then you collect
and gain knowledge and experience, then you seem to become
a greater Being, or more than you originally were. This is only an
apparency.

2
 Your Power on a Plate
In actuality, everything that you experience, everything,
is contained within your consciousness, within the already
existing infinity of your consciousness. From your Infinite point
of view there is no "within" and "without,” for these are linear
terms, from within the linear point of view.

Your body is literally within your consciousness ... and

not the other way around.

Therefore, you already contain it all, all knowledge ... all

experience ... all ideas. And what you call "growth and learning"
is only one of the characteristics of linear reality, and in that
sense, is truly, from your Infinite point of view, an illusion.
Remember, you already know it all, therefore the idea of not
knowing something and then learning it … is simply an
exploration ... an apparency.

Therefore, since you already contain it all and express

yourself seemingly ON A LINE for now, you will create the
apparency of learning. But the mechanism to experience
expansion is truly, simply, now to ... express more of yourself,
more of your Infinite potential, more of what you know to be true
for you. And therefore, anything that “rings true” with you,
anything that you understand to be true at any given moment,
you already must have contained to begin with.

As you begin to entertain the idea of yourself as pure

consciousness, as an Infinite Being, you begin to then attract to
yourself (within the physical parameters that you set up) ...
resources, information, timing that allows you to begin to
express more ... and more ... and more ... and more of who you
already are, not becoming something that you are not, but
simply expressing more of who you already are.

One way of looking at this is that as you express yourself

in physical terms your vibration as a consciousness begins as a
3
 Your Power on a Plate
very contracted vibration. This allows you to experience the
apparency of forgetting 99.99999 % of who you are ... in order to
experience the Infinitesimal decimal place ... .1% (point one
percent) of who you now choose to express yourself as.

Your vibration therefore effectively becomes contracted

in a physical sense. As you begin to expand your notion ... your
acceptance of who you are ... your vibrational resonance rises,
and you sometimes refer to this as your vibration "ascending.”
Therefore, truly, truly, "ascension" is simply being willing to
express more of who you already are and is not somewhere to
go to ... from here, because as you expand the idea of who you
are, you understand that both here and there exist within you
and that there is no separation.

Therefore, ascending is truly, simply ... being more of

yourself.

Individuals, when defining the idea of "ascension", will

often assume that you are ascending away from this physical
reality. Now, that is one way to experience ascension; that is one
idea of the result of the process of ascending or expanding your
vibration. But understand in no uncertain terms, that you have
chosen to be here ... you have chosen to be here to experience
yourself in a very specific way, within a reality with very specific
parameters. Because of these specific parameters there are
very unique characteristic advantages to the physical
experience.

From the perspective of your Infinite consciousness,

when you are all knowing ... all seeing ... simultaneous there are
certain nuances or qualities which have less meaning to you in
that state. One is the idea of learning ... another is the idea of
discovery ... and yet another is the idea of surprise! All of these
ideas become somewhat irrelevant when you already know it
all. So therefore, advantages of what you call the "physical
4
 Your Power on a Plate
reality" include: discovery ... the joy of discovery and surprise,
and even the joy of unexpected outcomes.

Therefore, one idea of expressing ascension is to begin

to willingly participate in the creation and experience of your
reality consciously, just because you say so. And very literally, if
you are to ascribe levels to the idea of ascension, the first level
of ascension would be ascending into living this reality fully, with
absolutely no nuance, no hint of the idea of "escaping from" this
reality, of ascending away from this "awful place" (as you will
sometimes refer to it).

Therefore, the idea of ascending or expanding your

vibration is a joyful celebration of more of who you already are.
And nothing need be “given up” in terms of becoming more of
who you already are. Since you contain it all ... there is no
outside … there is no external. There is nothing but you,
experiencing yourself.

So therefore, you cannot really "escape" from yourself,

because all you would achieve, in that sense, is going to yourself
anyway. Becoming familiar with this idea allows you to now
understand, in no uncertain terms ... there is nowhere to go,
you’re already there. You’re already here.

And understanding, deciding, that you are already there

allows you to experience the advantage of what you have
already (in no uncertain terms) created as your reality.
Therefore, diving into your reality, being willing to decide your
reality, is one way in any given moment, that you can transform
your reality.

Now, as I had mentioned earlier, you break down or

gradiently express your consciousness from that One ... Eternal
... Infinite Being. The convention through which you express this
is what we generally refer to as a triad of: BELIEF SYSTEMS
5
 Your Power on a Plate
causing EMOTIONS causing THOUGHTS and ultimately
resulting in ACTION.

The paradox of the idea that your reality is the result of

your beliefs, emotions, thoughts and actions is that ... is that
you do not “have one belief and not have another. As I said, you
contain it all ... you contain all beliefs. Every belief that you can
possibly mention or think of … you also contain the opposite
belief. I mention this distinction, not to confuse you, not to
confound and befuddle you, but to simply point out that if you
understand that you already contain it all, then there is nothing
to get rid of or process through, and there is nothing to gain or
achieve. There is simply, and it all boils down to one word: your
decision. Which do you choose?

It is up to you in any given moment to express who you

prefer to be, versus who someone else says you should be, or
who you think you should be out of obligation to everyone else,
or whatever else your rationale is for maintaining a state of
consciousness which does NOT allow you to express JOY and
authenticity in your life right now.

Your birthright is joy. Your birthright is ecstasy. Your

birthright is authenticity.

These are not things that you need to earn. They are
things that sometimes you will determine or decide that you
must earn. But you are the ultimate decider and dictator of your
reality. Therefore, you and only you can decide, “well, alright,
there is this concept of ecstasy, there is this concept of joy and
once I earn it ... I get it too.” You impose that you must earn your
joy. And because ... you contain it all, if you have that particular
approach, that you must earn it, you will create the apparency
of not inherently deserving your joy ... that instead you must
take a series of steps or actions, whatever process validates to
you that you are “earning" the joy, earning the “deserve-ability”
6
 Your Power on a Plate
to express and experience the joy and then ultimately express
and experience that joy.

The interesting point is that the moment you decide you

have earned the right to express your joy and then you express it
... it is truly not the process of having "earned" it that creates the
joy in your life, it is ... your decision in the moment at the end of
your process, when you finally commit to the decision, “now am
I Joyous.” This is what actually creates the joy. You ultimately
decide to give yourself permission to be joyous.

In these instances, you are using the “process” or the

"dues" that you have paid as an excuse, to now express that joy.
All the criteria, all, as you sometimes refer to it, of the "baggage",
that you attach to finally deciding to be joyous is set up by you
and you only. In every given moment you are always expressing
some version of who you believe yourself to be.

You decide, in each and every moment, who you are.

You create 100% fully who you are in each and every moment,
right now ... right now ... right now ... right now and right now. For
now is the only time that is truly, truly real. Your Infinite
consciousness is one eternal now, one simultaneous now.

And as a linear expression, whereby you create the

apparency of a linear progression of nows, in each of those
nows (which, by the way, are all truly the same now) you make a
decision ... "I am this person ... I am that person,” "I am this way
... I am that way,” You generally do so through an elaborate set
of criteria. Perhaps you say, “I am THIS person because this
happened when I was a child.” Perhaps you say, “I am THIS
person because these circumstances would only happen to a
person such as this.” Perhaps you say, “I am THIS person
because everyone tells me I am therefore, they must be on to
something.”

7
 Your Power on a Plate
But ultimately it is your decision, it is your agreement
with whatever that criteria may be that "I am ... this person" that
allows you to express, from the all that you contain, that version
... that person that you are being in that moment.

The reason that you experience yourself as a linear

Being, rather than a completely new person ... with a different
body ... different hair color ... different eye color ... different
height ... different weight, in each and every moment, is because
as you define yourself in any given now moment ... you bring
along "the baggage," of your past, you bring along a conception
that says, "Well ... I am this person who is exactly the same
person that I was a moment ago with this — one — minor — little
— difference.” And of course, you will experience the result of
that "one minor little difference" with the apparency of being the
same person.

Now, we do not share this so that you will spontaneously

dis-integrate your entire personality and completely transform
this reality into an unrecognizable form (that is an option, by the
way) because you need not do that in order to recreate yourself
according to preference in any given moment.

By simply being willing to be mindful of the decision you

are making ... right now and … then perhaps dialoging with
yourself to determine who it is you prefer to be ... right now, that
is all it takes to completely and 100 % transform your entire
experience ... right now.

You already do this anyway. I'm not suggesting or

introducing anything that you are not an expert at. And as we
sometimes say ... “You are perfect Creators," so when you
create misery ... it is perfect misery. When you create joy ... it is
perfect joy. But always does it hinge on the decision in the
moment of who you are.

8
 Your Power on a Plate
THE MECHANISM
DECISION ... TRUST ... ACTION
(How you create your physical life.)

In general, how you express this as Physical Beings is by:

1. MAKING THE DECISION, “This is who I am.”

You then:

2. TRUST THAT DECISION, "Well, I must be that person.”

You then:

3. ACT or perform an action in your reality with the

foundational, underlying supposition of your decision
that ... "This is who I am.” You act like you’re now that
person.

And it is those actions (in a physical reality) that seem to

cause results (in a physical reality) that seem to reinforce (in a
physical reality) ... the decision. Therefore, whatever you decide
... you get. And no matter what method you use as an excuse to
make that decision, the decision still sticks.

As an example, individuals will often assume, “In order

to transform to the individual that I prefer to be, I must
understand who I am already being.”

And often they will create an elaborate process, an

elaborate and painstaking exploration of thinking, “Why oh why
am I who I am?"

The interesting thing is that as they are partaking in and

creating this process, they continually re-establish the decision
... "THIS ... is who ... I am" This being that person that they
regretted being.

9
 Your Power on a Plate
As you dig into your past to determine why you turned
out in such an undesirable way, you continually re-assert that
old version of who you are. You continually maintain the prior
decision that, “I am this person that needs so much work.”

While there can seem to be value to all of this type of

self-past exploration, if transforming instantaneously appeals
to you - you need not carry around and re-assert that old
baggage. All that you need do to transform right now is simply,
as you say in your vernacular, “Take the bull by the horns” and
simply have your decisions about who you are be conscious and
purposeful from this point forward.

Perhaps you may wish to include the idea of factoring in

your preference ... “This is who I desire to be.” Now, when you
state "this is who I desire to be," there is sometimes the
tendency to digress by thinking, "Well, this is who I am being,"
"even though I desire to be this other person.” But that is not the
same as simply deciding, "This is who I am now simply because
this is what I prefer ... this is how I choose to see myself; this is
the kind of person that I love to be.” And your willingness to
simply cut through the red tape and decide according to
preference who you are ... allows you to take the process that
you already use to create your own reality and shift it, as you say,
"on a dime.” Therefore, be mindful, should you choose the idea
of beginning to express joy and ecstasy in your life, not so much
of who you are being that is not the person you desire to be, but
who you do desire to be, who you prefer to be, and therefore who
you now already are. Once you decide ... any person that you
may have been in any other given previous moment in the so-
called “past” … becomes irrelevant to that new decision.

You become the person you decide to be in each and

every given moment. To illustrate the extent of this idea: if you

10
 Your Power on a Plate
decide, “Well Elan, what you are saying right now is nonsense"
…. you get that.

If you decide, "that makes sense, I’ll give that a try" ...
then you get the partial result of someone who is trying.

However, if you decide, "Ah, I already do that, I will begin

to do it consciously right now" ... you are no longer any other
person that you have ever defined yourself to be, you are now
being the new preferred you.

If you will begin to simply trust that decision, then,

perhaps subtly at first but eventually quite blatantly, your
actions will begin to reflect the new decision, and the actions
will have visible results ... and even what you consider to be the
"external circumstance" will seem to change. Quickly.

Now understand in no uncertain terms, because of the

"cause and effect" methodology that you create in your reality
through your actions … you perform an action which you
consider to be a "cause" and then you get an "effect" ... you have
a tendency to judge yourself against the background of your
circumstances, of your external "situation.”

If you will begin to understand that all those results, all

those circumstances, truly have no "built-in" meaning, that
they are a neutral set of props, no matter how they may appear
on the surface, then you then give yourself the power to interpret
that circumstance, those situations, through the lens of the
new you that you have now decided to be.

Now if that new you happens to be an empowered Being,

you will now say, "well, how does this situation serve me
exactly as it is?” and then get the result of receiving a service
from any circumstance, of receiving service from any situation
that you have formerly labeled "negative," or formerly labeled as

11
 Your Power on a Plate
"evidence" that seems to support the unpreferred decision that,
"Well, I guess I haven’t changed at all.”

Understand, by the way, that when you say, "I guess I

haven’t changed at all," what are you actually doing? You're
making a new decision about who you are in that moment. And
though you did change completely 100% when you had made
the new preferred decision about yourself ... when you then
entertain the thinking that ... “I haven’t changed at all" ... that
thinking is very similar to "previous" negative decisions that you
have made and therefore can seem to cancel out the new
positive change. However, it does not truly cancel the change,
for you are still a new Being with that much more knowledge.
You only seem to cancel the change when you are not willing to
re-mind yourself ... to re-member to yourself to maintain the
new positive decision of who you prefer to be.

And any circumstance that would seem to be negative,

and seem to be "evidence" that you are not the new person that
you desire to be, is, on the "flip side of the coin" actually an
opportunity to re-establish, to re-align to the new you, to re-mind
yourself... "Ah, though this circumstance may appear negative,
the me that I prefer to be, no longer chooses to interpret things
in that way ... this is the new me and therefore, my interpretation
of any set of circumstance is also new. I can derive how each
and every circumstance is of service to me.” All the while as you
adopt this new approach, while containing the idea of
maintaining who you prefer to be, trusting that decision, and
acting that way ... you are creating a new set of circumstances.

And so, once you decide to be a new you, the external

situation in your life does change, and the change is quicker and
more impactful if you are willing to use the news lens of the
consciousness of that preferred person to interpret your present
set of circumstances. Using the new interpretation completely
12
 Your Power on a Plate
changes the effect of any circumstance, rather than
perpetuating it with an old response which will still result in an
old negative effect.

So, no matter what your seeming “repetitive” issues

have been, they only appear to be repetitions because you
previously adopted a similar approach when you addressed
them, a similar negative interpretation and ultimately performed
a similar set of actions if and when you realize and conclude ...
"Here it comes again!"

Allowing the new decision of who you prefer to be to

"stick," simply requires persistence and occasional reminders,
and that is all. The willingness to remind yourself to interpret
your reality through the lens of your new self is entirely
conducive to the new positive change.

Therefore, the initial idea of experiencing what you call

"ascension" is to express yourself in this life, as this particular
version of your preferred consciousness fully, purposefully and
be willing to not "settle" for anything less than getting every
positive thing out of it that you can. When you do this, you
experience the idea of "ascended consciousness" while still
maintaining the apparency of a physical body and a linear
expression.

And living your reality in a physical way, as a conscious

Creator, expressing yourself through preference and joy ...
expressing the things that bring you passion with integrity is a
type of experience that is an unrivaled experience in the
multiverse. Therefore, you would not want to miss it!

My particular society still expresses itself in a physical

way. We on the verge, on the threshold of beginning the first
phase of our non-physical expression of consciousness. But we
have throughout our "history" still chosen to experience
13
 Your Power on a Plate
physicality, though mostly from the perspective of experiencing
conscious Creatorhood, from the perspective of taking the
advantage of the unique opportunity to discover, the unique
opportunity to be surprised and to experience unexpected
circumstances and outcomes. I remind you, when you are
experiencing from your Infinite and all-knowing point-of-view
that experience of surprise no longer has meaning. So, we revel
in the true advantages of physical consciousness, the ability to
seem learn, discover, evolve, be surprised and even experience
things as if for the first time. From the perspective of Infinite
consciousness, these experiences are not relevant.

We still choose to be physical, and in doing so, we revel

in unexpected outcomes and surprises, instead of considering
them to be extraneous or an interruption. When we mention that
you do not experience surprise and discovery from within the
Infinite all-knowing state of your consciousness, it is not that
you are missing anything in that state, which you are not. As an
Infinite version of yourself everything is still complete and
whole. Though the way that you create this type of finite
experience is through gradient expression of your finite
consciousness, as opposed to holistic expression of your
Infinite consciousness.

14
 Your Power on a Plate
OPENING UP THE COVER
“THE VEIL” TO WHO YOU ALREADY ARE
(You get the credit.)

At this juncture, allow me to simply remind you once

again that you do, as an Infinite Being ... already contain it all.
There is nothing outside infinity. There is no border to infinity.
Therefore, anything that you hear ... that you “dis-cover,” is
literally and I mean literally that process of “gradient
expression.” It is not gaining something you never had and now
do, it is simply discovering, opening up “the cover, the veil" to
reveal more of who you already are.

And therefore, should you feel you have learned

something, whether it is in this interaction or any other time in
your life, most accurately, you are simply now choosing to
express more fully what you already contain. And therefore, you
get the credit. You get 100% credit for the creation of your reality
because you 100% create that reality.

Therefore, by all means, you can entertain the idea of

being willing to be proud and take "the credit that you are due.”
You already create your reality through decision, trust and
action. Therefore, the only slight change that we perceive that
you are now unveiling to yourself (and therefore we act as a
reflection of) is the simple idea to be more conscious about it.
you can be more definite about it, to make the new decision
about who you want to be consciously, to allow that decision to
stick and then to have the fun of going around to your reality,
interpreting your reality through the lens of the new decision and
watching in a short span of time your entire reality ... your life ...
your circumstances ... relationships to both yourself and what
you perceive to be others ... change 100%.

15
 Your Power on a Plate
Only when you change your perspective, your approach,
does there appear to be an external alteration of your
circumstances. Only when you change who you are does it
appear that others have also changed, for you are now willing
and ready to interact with others on that new level. They are also
... multi-dimensional ... Infinite ... and eternal Beings and they
also contain every potential ... every possibility ... every
expression. And as you change the vibration through which you
express your reality, you also change the vibration through
which you interpret your reality. Once you do that you are now
literally interacting with a different version, a different aspect of
any other individual that you formerly have interacted with ...
and they seem to have changed, but ultimately, the change is
from you.

Therefore, I thank you for being willing to allow me to

reflect back to you what you already know to be true for yourself,
what you have now chosen as your timing ... and allowing me to
act as the reflection to mirror back certain very simple ideas.

Remember, though your reality may seem to contain the

notion of "complexity," the mechanism through which you
create your reality is quite simple. And when you define who you
are ... you can now allow for the dispensation of your reality to
be simple ... to be effortless. "Effortless" does not mean you will
not have surprise, does not mean you will not have unexpected
ideas, does not mean you will not perceive the idea you
sometimes refer to as "challenge.” But effortless is simply a
natural and serendipitous expression of no longer "going against
the grain" of who you know yourself to be.

Effort, in one interpretation of that term, is simply ...

going against your own grain causing a friction ... causing a
resistance, which seems to exhaust you all. Being who you are
is really quite simple and quite effortless.
16
 Your Power on a Plate
Therefore, I thank you once again and for the first time,
since I am creating myself anew also ... I am always
experiencing each and every one of you as a new Being and
myself as a new Being as well.

Nice to meet you all! We can now move onto the sharing!

TOUCHING ON PARADOX
ALL-THAT-IS LEAVES NOTHING OUT
(Experiencing on a gradient... seemingly removed from that
totality.)

Q- When you talk about the fact that as we change and

experience ourselves, as we experience a different aspect of
ourselves and then interact with other people, we are
experiencing a different aspect of them as well ... that clarifies
things for me very well as to how I can understand that apparent
change in people.

Elan- Alright, well, one tendency that we have noticed is

that individuals will say, "well I could change ... I know I could ...
if only she (or he) would change,” and in fact ... they have it
backwards.

Q- I've experienced that myself and I appreciate that

particular wording, as that helps me to understand it better.

Elan- Alright.

Q- When you say that we all contain everything, we

contain all the experience that we can experience in a linear
process ... does each one of us contain the same set of
experiences?

Elan- Well, in a sense, but again, we are talking about

gradation, “levels" of totality, as ironic as that term actually is,
reality is truly all ONE idea. What you call “God” and what we
refer to as “All-That-Is” leaves nothing out and again and one
way to look at that is ... everything is all the same, one, "All-That-
Is", containing every single myriad and nuance of possible
experience imaginable … and a few that are perhaps presently
unimaginable to you.

18
 Your Power on a Plate
So, to answer your question, yes, we all contain the
same potentials, but as you begin to experience yourself on a
gradient, linearly, as seemingly removed from that totality, each
one of you creates the simultaneous apparency that the entire
reality is merging into you. And even though that seems
paradoxical that there be more than one focal point that the
reality seems to merge into ... nevertheless, that is the way
reality expresses itself. That is a paradox, an Infinite idea Being
perceived through finite means ... in discussing it in this way.
The flavor of the “individual” experiences of the same one thing
are as varied as there are individuals.

Q- You have discussed the notion, as everything that we

experience is a consensus, that other people are willing to share
that same experience, the same physicality with the same view
of reality that we are sharing, otherwise we wouldn’t ... they
wouldn’t be in our reality ... is that what you're saying?

Elan- That is one way to experience the idea of the so-called

mass consensus, but ultimately, your entire experience, the
experience of each and every one of you, hinges on your
personal decision about who you are in the moment, and so your
experience of that "consensus" can drastically alter in any given
moment. You will notice that some people will seem to no
longer be present in your day-to-day reality as you change
because you can only experience a reality that you’re being the
vibration of. If another chooses to express that aspect of that
vibration of their consciousness at the same time, you will
continue to be aware of them and they will seem to have
changed. If it is their timing to choose not to express that aspect
when you change, they will no longer be present to your
awareness, whether they move on, pass on, or you simply never
see them again.

Q- Thank you.

I CREATE IT ALL
”WELL ... SO, I'M IN CHARGE?”
(Take that question mark? straighten it out to an exclamation
point! )

Q- There are as many "ascension processes" as there

are perceptions, is the way I understand it, is that correct?

Elan- Well, again, anything that you can imagine is “true"

on some level of reality. And the idea of “Infinite" simply means
there is no limit, so that would apply to experiences and
experiencing the individual flavors of ascending, yes.

Now, our general approach is to highlight the most self-

empowered version of any idea that we are discussing, the
version that allows you to be that empowered person ... with no
one else’s help. And again, I remind you continually that you
already contain it all ... because, should you decide to ascribe
credit to me, I will not accept it. I am simply acting as a mirror to
what you already know. Does that answer the question?

Q- Not really, I'm working with a group right now that is

... ah ... working with a process called “the awakening process.”

Elan- Alright, describe.

Q- Leaving my bed ... moving into dimensional reality,

and ascending and actually leaving the dimension, the “Third
Dimension", moving into the "Fourth Dimension.”

Elan- Now, with the idea of leaving "The Third" for good?

Q- No ... temporarily.

Elan- Alright, to experience more of the self... yes?

Q- Correct.

20
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- Alright, and bring that back to this particular
reality?

Q- After a four-day transformational state.

Elan- Ah, "four days" alright.

Q- And moving back into our “Third Dimension" to

continue on with a two-week process of a physical
transformation based on the cellular change.

Elan- Alright, well that is only one way to express it,

again, on a gradient ... with a process. But ultimately ...
understand in no uncertain terms what we have already shared,
which is this: With your process, after your certain amount of
days and certain amount of weeks ... any change that you wind
up experiencing will truly result from the decision in that new
moment, at the end of the process. and not truly from the actual
process (from now, “till then.”). So certainly, a linear, gradient
process is one way, one method to express the idea of
ascension. But allow me to also share something else, to clarify
something else that we mention, which is that your body exists
within your consciousness. Individuals will sometimes assume,
"Well my consciousness cannot shift until my body shifts ... until
it evolves ... until it changes its cellular structure, the expression
of its DNA and so forth ...” and this is very creative, very useful.
Individuals will use that as a pivot. But the interesting point
about it is that mechanically speaking, no matter what, the body
does not change first. Always is there first a shift in
consciousness. It is only an apparency that the body change
comes first. The change always initiates first from a change in
consciousness.

Which again, I remind you, any change that would seem

to occur in the body on a cellular level, without exception,
always was caused by and initiated first by that change in
21
 Your Power on a Plate
consciousness. So, if an elaborate process is what you feel you
require to shift your consciousness, no matter what that
process is, no matter what degree of complexity it contains to
allow you to finally say ... "well I did something, I can now expect
a result" ... though most accurately the change always first
arises from consciousness. Does that make sense?

Q- Yes it does, one does not require outside assistance

for them to have an ascension process?

Elan- Absolutely not, although one can attract that form,

that apparency of it if they wish. All options are valid, all
approaches are absolutely equally valid. And we are not
discussing our particular point of view to invalidate any other
approach, but only to simplify the idea, only to define what many
of these approaches actually accomplish, in a kernel, in a
crystal, that's right in front of you. So, there are an Infinite
number of processes that an individual or individuals can
create, but the point of what I am saying is that the final result
ultimately manifests, in a given moment, from your final new
decision, "I am now ascended ... I am now transformed.” You
use the process to give yourself permission to make that final
determination, usually from the societal assumption that
change must be … earned.

And it is the final decision in that now moment, the

decision that, “I am changed” that actually results in any
cellular change, that results in any type of physical change that
you experience ... and not actually the process itself. And
ironically, paradoxically, when you make that decision, “I am
now this new person”, you are then being that new person fully,
whether you use the process as a rationalization or not,
ironically, you will still immediately realize and manifest
because of what I am saying.

22
 Your Power on a Plate
For one of the first ideas of "ascending" or being willing
to express yourself in a more limitless way is, "Ah ... it wasn’t the
process, it was me ... it was me all along.”

Q- So the "energies" that I feel at night about me, are my

own consciousness coming in to work with my own vibration?

Elan- Absolutely ... even the idea of what you call "spirit
guide" or any “external” manifestation literally exists within you.
Now, you can perceive them as "other Beings" to allow you to
experience very specific nuances of your consciousness and by
all means through the physical expression, it is quite a valid idea
of assigning ... "this is this particular guide ... this is this
particular consciousness ... this is this particular energy.” But
what you have said is truly most accurate ... it is all actually you.

Q- Well ... so, “I’m in charge?"

Elan- Well yes ... it is up to you!

I will suggest that when you actually experience that

result that I am describing, you will say it slightly differently ...
you will take that question mark ...? and straighten it out into an
exclamation point ...! … because you will simply (in making that
decision) be quite definite about it and "unswerving," as you say.
Rather than saying... “well ... I ... create ... it ... all?" you will say
instead, "I DO create it all!" Do you wish to do this?

Q- That is the question.

Elan- Ah! ... only you can answer that one question. I can
take a stab at the answer. I can perceive that yes; you wish to do
this ... but there is some hesitation, some trepidation, some
"fear.”

23
 Your Power on a Plate
What is it that you feel could be a negative result of
simply taking back your power and creating your life
consciously?

Q- The fear would be … drawing in ... unknown energies

of unknown origin.

Elan- Ah, unknown, “un-knowing” ... so, you could “dis-

cover” more of yourself, yes?

Q- Since we are all part of One, yes.

Elan- Alright, and then perhaps you may revise or

consider (I will never insist that you do any of this, simply
suggest) that “unknown origins” are no longer relevant when you
express that the reality exists within you, consciously or
knowingly. There is no outside, there is no origin which is not
you.

Do you assume that you would intend to harm, frighten,

or have a negative result ... from yourself ... to yourself?

Q- Not intentionally, no.

Elan- Alright, well, what we are speaking of here is

conscious intention, no intention just "slipping in there.” When
you make the purposeful new decision ... this is your intention,
this is now your clear intention. So, you may now begin to realize
that nothing can happen unintentionally, unless your decision
involves that particular allowance. I assume you wish to
experience your transformation in a positive way ... yes?

Q- Absolutely.

Elan- Then simply ... build that into your decision. One of
the ideas is to be very specific about what that decision is and
should something come along in your experience that will result
in perhaps revising that decision ... be willing to use that
24
 Your Power on a Plate
feedback to define yourself. And at least be willing to establish
who you are from what seems to be available, to make the
decision about who you are from what seems to be available
and automatically will you refine it.

Remember, you can only experience the reality that you

are being the vibration of. A negative vibration or frequency
cannot sympathetically resonate with a positive vibration or
frequency, and in fact cannot even find or see a positive
frequency, they are simply irrelevant to each other. When you
are being the positive expression, the negative is irrelevant to
you. As you understand this on a foundational level, you create
an ease and comfort in the knowing that nothing can come and
“get you”, there are no negative unknown energies that can
“come in” and harm you in any way.

Also remember that fear is the same as trusting that a

reality that you don’t prefer is most likely. So, if you’re fearing the
incursion of unknown or negative energies, you can use that
fear, after expressing it fully and not squelching it, to fully re-
align to your new positive decision about who you are. Hence
the fear itself becomes a useful tool of alignment, and one that
will also finally render itself obsolete to your new positive self,
as you maintain that new self, no matter what.

Is this of assistance?

Q- Yes, thank you.

YOUR EMPOWERMENT
RIGHT AT YOUR IMMEDIATE DISPOSAL
(You just might be a little bit excited!!!)

Q- Um, I'm not sure if this is going to make sense, but if

everything is, as you said it is to us tonight and then most
everything is something (I'm sure) that everyone here had a
pretty clear idea about ... then if we are" microcosms" of the
whole ... why isn’t "Mother Earth" just making a decision ...
POOF! ... to change? Why is She going through a process like we
are?

Elan- Well, your question contains the answer, for

though I have introduced the idea of "spontaneous re-
definition", of changing your entire reality, perhaps you have not
quite made that decision yet yourself. But when I say that you
will begin to see external reflections across the board, that will
include changes to your planet as well, which is also a
consciousness by the way, but again, not truly apart from your
own consciousness ... but within your consciousness. So
should you now decide to shift who you are and perhaps
experience a temporal lag in your circumstances, giving you the
opportunity to redefine those circumstances from the new you
that you are now ... once you maintain that resolve for what you
call "a period of time," you will see the changes you are talking
about “externally.”

The trick is that the indecision does truly come from

each and every one of you. Remember also, that indecision
really is a decision to not decide. And you are also assuming
that "Mother Earth," as you have put it, is taking her time. My
particular observation is that the consciousness that you call
Mother Earth is right there ready and responding perfectly in
every given moment. Is there something specific to which you
are referring?
26
 Your Power on a Plate
Q- Well, part of this change has to do with healing ... I
believe.

Elan- Alright, does your new empowered decision about

yourself create a gradient whereby perhaps an individual is
"unwell" ... will obtain healing, and then become "well?"

Can you understand that healing, just as dis-easing, is

also a decision made in a given moment?

In other words, your question implies a process, it

implies stretching out the result from the decision and therefore
your experience is that the Earth doing the same thing, yes?

Q- Yes.

Elan- Therefore your willingness to simply be whole now

... which automatically includes the idea of being “health-full,”
will then allow your perception of the perfect response of what
you perceive to be Earth Consciousness to also shift, to allow
yourself to see that "The Earth" is already doing this. If this does
not make sense, please continue.

Q- No, it makes sense.

Elan- Alright ... you do not sound “too thrilled" about it. I
assume that once you firmly grasp the idea of your
empowerment being right at your immediate disposal ... that
you might just be a little bit more excited! And that will be
reflected in your tone. All of this is really very exciting. You can
allow yourself to rise and meet that excitement, if you wish.

27
 Your Power on a Plate
SINUSES AND SITTING AROUND
ALLOWING THE ENERGY TO MOVE THROUGH YOU
(You may now be more sensitive to any changes that are
occurring.)

Q- I wanted to talk a little bit about health. Because I

seem to be manifesting some disease.

Elan- Describe, if you wish.

Q- Sinuses, it's been going on for months and months

and months and I'd like to ... I'd like to make it, you know,
something that would be of general interest, but it's pretty
specific.

Elan- Well, the idea is this - that your sinus cavities are
very sensitive to, shall I say, electromagnetic changes and shifts
because of a particular substance in your sinuses known as
magnetite, which is, in that sense, also involved with your
"sense" of spatial orientation. So, the idea is that you may now
be more sensitive to any changes that are occurring. However,
you need not experience the sensation of these changes in
negative terms. So, you can now introduce yourself to the idea
of allowing yourself to be aware of changes without resisting
those changes which causes friction and pain. Now that is the
more general idea, the other idea is to not allow any particular
event, pain, discomfort, to alter or revise your positive decision
about who you are. I assume, when defining yourself, your
definition, your decision includes feeling physically well, yes?

Q- Yes, most definitely.

Elan- So when you maintain that decision, any particular

“uncomfortable” sensitivity is very short lived. Because when
you use that friction, that discomfort, as evidence to create a
new unpreferred decision, "Well, I now must be sick", then you

28
 Your Power on a Plate
actually perpetuate and prolong a process which would
otherwise be generally rather short-lived and fleeting, if you
would notice it at all. So, to keep "on subject" ... you can use any
discomfort to re-establish and maintain the preferred decision
of who you are and watch your wording. Also, understand that
saying ... “I am not sick" is different than saying “I am well" ... not
running from what you don’t prefer, but simply being what you
do prefer. And this is why we said earlier that you need not
establish who it is you are being that you no longer prefer ... in
order to be the new you. You can simply maintain being the new
you, no matter what.

Q- So, what you're saying is I don’t have to say, "Why am

I creating this?" ... and I don’t have to go through that process,
just decide that I am healthy?

Elan- Absolutely, exactly ... and you may wish to be

more specific than that. Because if the decision does
specifically reflect who you are and what you wish to do ... you
will be so busy going about your business that any so-called
"recovery period" will simply be immediate and automatic. You
will forget all about any discomfort. In other words, instead of
simply only saying ... "I am healthy.” ... have the new decision be
completely representative of who you now choose to be, stating
to the Universe that ... "I am now this person that________.” ...
(fill in your own blanks) "who enjoys this outcome____ ... who
expresses that effect on the world_____ " ... and in your being
willing to be that whole person, there is no fragmentation or
“dis-ease” in the process, and you become busy being that new
preferred person ... rather than sitting around and feeling your
sinuses and using them as “evidence” to re-establish an old,
outdated, obsolete, unpreferred decision about who you are.
Does that make sense?

Q- You've been watching me, huh?

29
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- Your privacy is completely intact.

Q- I've been doing a lot of sitting around. Now, alright, I

do see that.

Elan- By the way, one other idea ... if you are sensitive to
electromagnetic changes and are remaining physically static,
you do give yourself more opportunity to perceive that sensitivity
in a negative way. If you are moving about, inhabiting your new
reality fully, you are allowing the sensitivity ... you are allowing
the energy to move through you, rather than "well up," or seem
to accumulate and stagnate, in that sense of the word.

Q- I've noticed that if I was physically active, that it was

most definitely a relief.

Elan- Alright, then to use your language liberally, "see

you later.”

Q- Oh, I can actually feel better now! I mean I haven’t

been breathing in months!

Elan- Alright, well ... you have changed your decision in

this moment, and you have demonstrated in no uncertain terms
that you get the results of that new decision instantaneously.
Congratulations!

30
 Your Power on a Plate
THE DECISION
A HELPFUL DISTINCTION
(You always already "trust” ... 100% ... in something.)

Before we proceed, allow me to simply make a simple

distinction that you will find quite helpful. It is along the lines of
what we have already discussed in terms of maintaining the
decision for who it is you prefer to be. And in mentioning that
"you already do this anyway", that your reality is already the
result of any decision that you make about yourself and your life,
and that this means of expression is "nothing new" to you, the
same thing applies very directly to trust itself.

Now as we have said, you decide who you are in 3

“phases” or “steps”:

1. You make the decision.

2. You trust that decision.
3. You act as though you trust that decision.

Then, voila: linear reality results.

The Interesting Thing About Trust

In terms of trusting the decision ... understand in no
uncertain terms, what you call "faith " ... what you call "trust"
(which is perhaps a slightly more intentional word than faith) is
not something that you need to gain. Trust is not something you
need to "muster up.” You already ALWAYS trust 100% in
something, even if it is in a reality or outcome that you do not
prefer. You are ALWAYS trusting in something. You do contain it
all and in containing all of it, you always already trust in
something in every given moment.

31
 Your Power on a Plate
So, you do not need to gain trust, but simply be aware
that you always trust in something and be more conscious and
purposeful about what you are trusting in, and now what you will
choose to place your trust in. Trust is something you always
have. You are always placing it somewhere.

Notice where you are already placing your trust. Then,

you can remind yourself, “Well, look where I am placing my
trust". Once you reveal to yourself where you are placing your
trust in that moment, you can decide where you’d prefer to
place that trust.

You can also just simply say, "Alright, I understand I had

a negative decision, that I had negative trust.” "Now, this is my
new decision.” (“THIS" being whatever purposeful decision you
choose to make about yourself.) "And since I will trust in
something, why not this preferred decision?" It actually is that
simple.

With that distinction and on that note, we will continue

with the sharing.

Sharing!

YOU ALL EXIST WITHIN ME
A GAME OF CATCH WITH A BALL OF LIGHT.
( ... trying us on.)

Q- Elan, when you come here to do this, this is very

enjoyable for us.

Elan- Oh, alright. Do realize that I am not actually there,

only projecting my consciousness and intention, but I
understand and appreciate what you mean.

Q- Are you experiencing that also, do you sense love and

enjoyment back at you?

Elan- Absolutely, I create my version of it, which I

experience, when looking at my reality in linear terms, to be love
from you. Now understand, in my decision of who I am, there is
no lack of self-love. I completely 100% love myself, others, and
my reality and circumstance 100%, with the complete trust that
I create it, and its very existence is to support my own
experience.

Though when I interact with you, I can create the

awareness that you “love me", through what I would perceive to
be your emotion toward me. The more precise mechanism is
that I actually create my own version of your emotional
intention, in order to have a direct personal experience of your
intended emotion. I am simply explaining the mechanics. In
other words, the answer is yes ... with that little explanation.

Understand one other thing. Whatever you perceive that

you get out of these interactions, I get just as much out of it. I
understand, in no uncertain terms, that to me, you all exist
within me. And as I am willing to interact with different aspects
of my own consciousness, through seeming external "others," I
then experience more about myself.

33
 Your Power on a Plate
My particular society's approach is different than your
own, and we are not exploring the types of limitations that you
will often choose to explore. Therefore, we do not generally
interact with a contracted and separated aspect of ourselves on
a daily basis. Interaction with your society affords me the
opportunity to begin to look at some of those ideas, although I
always do so from my empowered self. What I am getting at, is
that from my end the favor that you are doing for me, is
immeasurable and it allows me to understand and experience
myself on a very complete level, apart from the mass general
experience of the current exploration of my whole society.

My society also happens to be very interlinked, and I will

say, "tel-empathically.” as opposed to "telepathically.”
Empathy implies that you create your own version, experience
your own version of everything, but you can in that sense, mold
your version so closely to the intention of the seeming others
that it seems as though you are reading their mind, it seems that
you are “in touch.” What technically is going on, is we are
creating the same thoughts at the same time. We are creating
an empathetic harmonic resonance between us. Just as striking
one tuning fork can cause an identical tuning fork to start to
resonate with it, without having to physically strike the second
fork.

And therefore, anything that is made available to my

awareness, for anyone in my society who is so inclined ... they
too immediately have access to that experience, and interact
with it from their particular, individual point of view, to reflect
back to themselves as well.

So, not only do I get something out of this, but so do

many members of my own society, at least those who are so
focused in that type of self-expression. And we thank you.

34
 Your Power on a Plate
Q- I thank you for that sharing you just gave, I really
enjoyed that answer.

Elan- Alright, I thank you for enjoying it and creating your

own version of the enjoyment.

Q- We’ve been in this room for over an hour, and I've

been sensing Bashar* the whole time. I see him in my mind’s
eye reclining in a chair. I guess I would like some validation, or
I'm just wondering where he is?
* Bashar is another Being from the same home world as Elan. He is
channeled by Darryl Anka.

Elan- Will you allow me to use your language liberally?

We're buddies.

Q- He's not with you right now?

Elan- At this particular time there are several individuals

present with me, and he is one, yes. He is, by the way, very busy,
all the time, we can barely "nail him down," to use your
vernacular. Fortunately, we are always "in touch" in the way that
I’ve just described.

Q- Could you also tell me what you did with your day
today?

Elan- On this particular day, I have done several things.

One was, I involved myself in an "energy exchange" with other
individuals on my planet, perhaps very loosely speaking,
perhaps what you would simply refer to as having a game of
catch with a ball of energy.

That is a very loose interpretation, for now, for the

imagery that it will allow you to create, it will do. I also have, in
that sense, interacted within my spacecraft in taking certain
readings from what you would call, "other various individual

35
 Your Power on a Plate
societies" that we are communicating with at this time. And
then, interacting with you.

Q- Thank you. On another note, I've just become really

interested in the Pleiadian civilization and understanding that
they are in human form like we are, and I'm enjoying their
perspective on life, which is very empowering. I guess when I
feel that I want, indeed, to be empowered, when I'm not being
my essence, I will partake of you guys, or pick up a book of the
Pleiadeans. I just wanted to say that I'm sharing and using and
becoming aware of who I am and my spirituality and I’m having
fun with it.

Elan- Well alright, and I thank you for your willingness to

share that, and understand, your Galactic Family is quite intact,
and on that level, you are already creating interaction with them.
You will notice earlier that I said that we will not interact with you
in a way that would be a disservice to you or seem to imply that
you are dis-empowered, and that is one of the reasons for what
you call this, "channeling phenomenon.” It allows us, in a very
seemingly removed way, to communicate with you and still
allow you to make your own decisions, still allow you to have
your own choices, still allow you to create either your trust, or
place that trust in the form of what you refer to as doubt.

Therefore, it is still completely up to you to believe that I

am who I say I am. I, in no way, have any insistence that you do,
but if you decide to ... you are beginning to become more familiar
with your galactic family. And we thank you.

Q- It's been several months since I've been able to ask

you, "where are you" and, in a sense, you've already answered
that. Might you be on your mothership for a change?

36
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- Well, I might be, but I am not. At this particular
moment, I am upon the face of what you would refer to as the
surface of my planet.

Q- You're actually there and not in your spacecraft?

Elan- Yes.

Q- That's unusual.

Elan- Not really. What you refer to as our "projection

table", and again this is a very loose translation of the actual
device, can also be used while upon our planet from time to
time, though perhaps you would refer to this version of the table,
and I mean this quite loosely, as a “portable table.”

Q- I had the idea that roughly 70% of your population,

250 million total, might normally be off the planet.

Elan- From time to time this is the case. This will vary.
There has recently been, for lack of better translation, a
celebration.

Q- Oh, could you elaborate?

Elan- Simply, that many of us are finding ourselves

physically proximal to each other, or on the planet at the same
time. While we're there, alright, I will use your language liberally
once again, this does not quite translate precisely but, "we like
to party.”

Now the reason that it does not translate precisely is

because we don’t really make the distinction between
expressing our celebratory mindset at one time and not another.
Our entire attitude and life have that type of celebratory
allowance incorporated in it, so there is not the distinction, "I am
partying now, now I am not.” We are always, in that sense,

37
 Your Power on a Plate
expressing joy, appreciation, revelry, and ecstasy, which one
way to interpret it into your language is to use your term "party.”

Q- Dancing, singing, music?

Elan- Not in the way that you understand, but perhaps a

version of that, from time to time, will spontaneously arise, as
does everything that we do. That is why I hesitate to call it a
"celebration," it is not that formal, and it is quite spontaneous.

Q- I also wanted to know if you would share more with us

about the other civilization you've been communicating with
today?

Elan- Alright, the civilization that I was taking the

aforementioned "readings" on, do not express themselves quite
in the same physical terms that you are accustomed to. They
are, perhaps you can say, "energy Beings" that still retain the
ability to express physical manifestations at will. Those physical
manifestations are instantaneous, and instantaneously
responsive to the slightest change in consciousness.

Our perception of them occurs through the idea of the

physical manifestations, and we are able to directly interact
with them, what you call, “telempathically.” But we can also
communicate to them through what you call, "observation", by
simply taking a measurement, or a reading, or an observation of
their particular physical manifestation along what you would
refer to as a “linear timeline.” We can translate, by
interpretation of the physical symbols, their intended message.
And it is an interesting, perhaps you can say, "game" that we
play. Did this translate at all?

Q- Oh, yes, it did. Umm ...

Elan- By the way, there are many Beings like this. This
particular society, we are in proximity to, and they are also,
38

perhaps you can say, from their point of view, taking in and
relishing certain approaches that our society has as well. In fact,
some of the physical manifestations that they have in fact
manifested are temporarily similar bodies to our own. But only
for fleeting moments. In other words, they are trying us on, so-
to-speak. Does that make sense?

Q- Okay, so they're creating a body form as one of the

forms ...

Elan- Spontaneously, and generally fleeting, very quick.

Now, one way that we can communicate back to them along
those lines, when not "automatically" directly linked
"telempathically " (although that is not particularly accurate, I
will not go into the detail now) we can also create energy
manifesting as physical events and have a conversation from
one set of physical events that they are creating to another set
of physical manifestations and results that we are creating, and
I, in that sense, was functioning, perhaps you can say, very
loosely speaking, as a “secretary” for the event. Does that make
sense?

Q- Yeah, it's cool.

Elan- Oh, alright, actually it is quite temperate.

Q- Okay.

Elan- Alright, is there anything else?

Q- No, thank you, not right now. Ha 'a tu.

Elan- Ha 'a tu.

WANTING A DIVORCE
WERE THE SHOE ON THE OTHER FOOT
(Being indecisive is still a decision.)

Q- You, being a mirror image to me, as I am to you ... well

... I'm really happy about that!

Elan- Well … so am I.

Q- I really like that.

Elan- Well alright, thank you for honoring yourself so

completely.

Q- I have a question, um, this might be too much of a

personal question, I hope not for the crowd ...

Elan- We trust the synchronicity of whatever we attract

and when you are all willing to also contain that idea, simply
then ... nothing will be "extraneous" in your reality. Do proceed
with the trust that the timing and content of your question is
impeccable.

Q- Thank you. I am in the process of wanting a divorce

from my husband ... without a condition and I'm having a hard
time with that because I'm not giving him a reason why I’m
divorcing him ... and that's not acceptable to him.

Elan- Would you, in a similar circumstance desire such

a reason?

Q- Well I know ... see, I'm looking at it as though he is an

aspect of me and ...

Elan- Alright, before you proceed, answer my question,

were ... "the shoe on the other foot" ... would you desire a
reason?

40
 Your Power on a Plate
Q- Well, yes, I guess.

Elan- Why?

Q- Well, I guess ... well, I mean ... it should be obvious, I

guess.

Elan- Well, so that you can grow and learn from the
experience ... yes?

Q- Yes.

Elan- What is your reason for depriving him of that

opportunity to grow and learn?

Q- As far as explaining my reasons to him?

Elan- Yes, so that he may learn and grow or do whatever.

Your responsibility is simply to make that communication to
him, not to be responsible for his reaction. But why do you
assume that he has attracted such a situation that he cannot
handle?

Q- Cause he won’t acknowledge it when I say that I want

a divorce and to leave. What I basically say is, "it's just not
bringing me joy and we're not... we don’t ever do anything
together and there's no supporting of each other.” ... it's just ... I
... I don’t know.

Elan- Alright, what will you do?

Q- Well, I don’t want to ... I'm so stagnant and it's not

bringing me joy and I know that that's not serving me ...

Elan- By the way, ironically, being indecisive, technically

speaking, is a decision ... it is a decision which is distinct from
not making a decision or making one. And acting with integrity
will always only yield an integrated result.

41
 Your Power on a Plate
Q- Got you ... I was going more on the wanting, I guess. I
was focusing on the joy and wanting to take the action, not the
decision. So, it’s the decision that comes before the wanting?

Elan- Not necessarily, but assuming that the wanting

has already happened, the decision would be next and in fact
again you have made a decision to remain stagnant.

Q- Yeah, and I don’t want to do that.

Elan- Well, you have tried that one on already. Now what
will you do?

Q- Make a decision to act.

Elan- Alright, congratulations ... you have transformed

your reality ... spontaneously and completely. How does it feel?

Q- Good! Thank you!

Elan- I simply suggest that no matter what you do and I

would not advise you as to one specific idea or another ... that
your decision be phrased in such a way, listen up ... all of you,
whereby the wording does not contain any hint or nuance of
what you don’t want ... who you no longer wish to be and simply
instead is the establishment of who you are … so that you are
not running from who you were ... you are not running from any
negative idea ... but are simply walking to who you choose to be
and thereby, by convention, distancing yourself from any former
negative decision about yourself. But even the hint of running
away from something still contains the idea of that something
very strongly, and since you cannot "get away from anything" ...
it simply is the new decision and not ... not the old decision. You
can always also factor in acting with integrity, if desiring an
integrated outcome. Understand those distinctions?

Q – I do, that’s very helpful, and really easy to do.

MY EVERY DAY DRAMA
YOUR WORDS ARE VERY REVEALING
(Throwing a warm blanket around the “ascension process”)

Q- Elan, I want to understand this ... that we're creating

our own reality here, I call it drama ... my everyday drama is how
I choose to see it, whether it is through relationships with others
or within my own space or it is ...

Elan- Alright, does “drama" have a connotation, since

that is your decision ... “It’s a drama" ... does it have a particular
negative connotation?

Q- No, just life ... flow, to me.

Elan- Alright, generally speaking, in the way that you

express your language, drama is sometimes very serious.
Drama has a lot of interactions that can be “rocky.” … yes?

Q- Well let me just re-phrase that.

Elan- Alright, do understand that for all of you, your

words are very revealing. I am not picking on you, but you also
have an option to instead express the idea that you can create a
"musical," a "comedy.”

Q- Yes!

Elan- Do proceed.

Q- In keeping with that comedy, um, I've moved into

creating circumstances and decisions and moving forward into
the ascension process and now I look at it and consider it very
confusing, because I'm bringing forth many different
perspectives and many different aspects that are very confusing
because they're new to me.

43
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- By the way, confusing, or “co-fusing” is simply
taking many things that you are now observing and interpreting
and simply “re-establishing” your relationship to them and
ultimately it winds up with a decision between the options ... a
fusing and clarifying of your intention.

Q- Yes, I have a few. In some of the information that has

been brought to me, I don’t understand some of the information
regarding "spiritual hierarchy/Galactic Federation" and how
they work in alliance with one another in conjunction with the
"ascension process.”

Elan- Alright. Allow me to say the following and see if this

does not shed some light on this idea. From our perspective ...
there is no “hierarchy.” The reason that I explain this
emphatically and specifically is because one of the qualities of
“the galactic community” is ... complete and one hundred per
cent equality between all participants.

That does not mean that there isn’t organization or

coordination and also does not mean there is no dispensation
of particular actions and approaches. But only through what you
would call "the human interpretation" of our structure does the
idea of "a hierarchy" (because you create your society in
hierarchical fashion) become filtered into the interpretation of
who we are. From our collective and my personal perspective,
there is no hierarchy in the way that you are expressing the term.
Therefore, there is no linear qualitative difference between any
"job" ... any approach ... any particular "duty" (if you wish to call
it that) and ... there is complete equality and equity.

There is no ascension in the aspect of moving through a

set of "ranks.” There is no ascension in the aspect of moving to
a greater ability, from a lesser ability as either being "worse" and
“better.”

44
 Your Power on a Plate
So, understand that often, when any individual from any
society becomes aware of an idea, they initially interpret that
idea through their own societal vocabulary ... through their
present style of understanding. So, for instance, in your past
there have been many predictions of catastrophes,
apocalypses and dire consequences. Now, as I have said ...
there is no one "the future" ... but individuals in that timing were
sensing a propensity, were sensing a tendency from the energy
that was available at that moment that the prediction was made.
However, they interpreted that energy through the means of
their societal approach ... through the means of what was
available to them at that time in their history. Back in those days,
things were a bit different upon your planet than they are now,
so for instance, they did perceive... “there will be great change.”
That was the overall energy, that was the overall perception.
However, back then, the only way to interpret great change was
through a complete... “tearing down" of the present structure ...
"a revolution" ... "a rebellion" ... "death" ... and “destruction.”

And so therefore, rather than simply a perception of

mere change ... it was "change" in their archaic vocabulary,
"cataclysm" ... "destruction.” So, the sensing of the ancient
seers and the ancient prophesies were accurate in determining
or predicting great change ... but were not accurate in
determining the methodology of the change or the precise way
that the change could play out. They did not know certain things
that would come into play between then and now that would
allow that change to occur through individuals ... that would
allow that change to occur with what you call the “hundredth
monkey" mass phenomenon.

They were not incorrect; they were simply interpreting it

through the means available to them at the time. A large
propensity of human consciousness can still only function, can

45
 Your Power on a Plate
only imagine a society functioning through a hierarchy ...
otherwise they feel there would be chaos.

And although there is still organization when you are

"Fourth Density" Physical Beings ... it is not perceived through a
hierarchical filter. So therefore, again, anything that you attract
is a perspective, and then you get to choose who you are and
what you will do.

All Inner Voices Are Actually Only Choices

If you simply understand that all the inner voices that
you hear are merely choices that you are presenting to yourself,
then you get to choose from them. It is always up to you to
choose. And my suggestion is to trust what is comfortable to
you, to trust what you’re “vibrating" at, what excites you ... what
moves you.

No one else is an authority until you ... in your decision,

build in your own agreement to what they are saying. Ultimately,
your agreement with an outer source is the only thing that seems
to create external authority, and of course by extension ... a
hierarchy.

Individuals that truly begin to express their self-

empowerment have no desire to have anyone else follow them
... to take care of them, for the concept of taking care of does not
completely acknowledge their own individual power.

Understand that a true "master" would be the first one to

tell you that you are yourself, already a master and would
therefore do nothing for you, though perhaps the way that you
would interpret their actions might loosely translate as a
"coach.”

Is this helpful?

46
 Your Power on a Plate
Q- Well, my perception is that we are all created equal
and there is no hierarchy and we’re all lateral.

Elan- Now, do understand, you contain it all. You can say

... there is a "hierarchy" and experience that apparency or you
can understand that there is not empirically a hierarchy, that
everything is equal, and experience that more integrated result.

Q- Correct.

Elan- But if you wish to be most accurate ... there is a

"hierarchy" AND there is not. You get to decide for yourself
which you will embody and experience.

Now you get to choose ... not negating or invalidating a

"hierarchical" approach, but simply choosing something that
vibrates more strongly to who you know yourself to be. Which is
to say ... "I validate that there are hierarchical expressions, but
that is not my personal approach.”

Now when you said to me, "I believe in equality", I

believed you. I will not "call you on that.” The conviction was
evident in your expression. Now the question is, since you're
going to trust in something anyway, like I said, will you trust in
your own knowingness, or will you fall into agreement with
someone else's story?

Q- That is the question.

Elan- Thank you. Do understand ... a question is simply

an answer "upside down" so the answer is right there.

Q- Everything is fun with you Elan, it's great!

Elan- Oh, thank you ... with you all as well.

Q- The “photon belt" ... is that also a perception?

47
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- There is a physical counterpart to it, but it does not
necessarily have the effects that have been predicted for the
many "photon belts" that have supposedly already intersected
with your reality.

There is not what you would call, "the negative effect"

from it unless your decision places you of a vibration to
experience negative effects in general and therefore, anything
that you experience you will tend to experience the negative
aspects of. Understand what you call “photons," simply in your
language, in your own physics are simply light packages,
observed particles of light. Light, in and of itself, is a very high
vibratory expression of consciousness. That consciousness is
very raw and reflective, so therefore it mirrors your decision.

Q- In my knowingness light is transformative and

anything in its way will transform.

Elan- Alright, that's one way to look at it. But the idea is
that the transformation begins from within you, and you then
attract a symbol that you refer to as “transformative.” So,
technically, light does not transform you. You transform yourself
and perceive the existing light through the lens of your new
decision.

Q- So possibly I could meet that light and be the same

vibration.

Elan- Or simply allow yourself to ... have a shower when

it comes by.

Q- Right. Thank you.

Elan- But the idea is, again most fundamentally ... you
are the light, you are the light, period. And “The Light" can
represent ... "Uh, Oh!" or “The Light" can represent ... the very
unconditional love of All-That-Is. Your choice.
48
 Your Power on a Plate
And All-That-Is (what many of you refer to as "God")
loves you unconditionally no matter what you will decide for
yourself at any given moment. So simply, you can choose to
treat yourself with the same respect.

Q- One more thing - "roles" ... are we here specifically to

take on specific roles (and I know it's a perception) however,
there seems to be a lot of it in that "feeling center" for most
people ... that there's a specific purpose here for all of us?

Elan- Alright, though that supposition that you have a

specific purpose is also a decision about yourself. So, yes, you
can absolutely experience that result and that reality of having
or fulfilling a purpose, but that is not truly because anything was
"predestined" or "preordained" ... it is simply (for whatever
reason) you "falling" into agreement with deciding that
something is your purpose.

Truly, you are a 100% spark of creation at every given

moment, who cannot easily be "buttonholed" into a particular
role. You may assume roles to explore certain specific ideas, but
when you decide purposefully who you are, when that decision
is a function of your personal preference ... then roles that you
would assume in order to provide experience, will be positive
roles. So, you are not "stuck" in any role.

And playing through something you perceive that you

created as an experience, this ends or transforms the moment
you make the new decision about yourself, with no exceptions.
And if the new decision is, “I am that same person.” ... one
moment later ... you are, absolutely. However, if your new
decision is to choose to no longer express a hierarchy in your
experience, which results in you feeling “lesser" and makes it
seem as if there is some "greater" aspect to aspire to, you can
simply state as your new decision, “I am an equal to all of
Creation, I choose to express that equality in everything that I do
49
 Your Power on a Plate
and therefore I choose to perceive that equality in others as
well.” Then when you are being a Fourth Density Physical Being,
the veil of hierarchy will dissolve. Understand?

Q- I understand.

Elan- Alright.

Q- So, as this planet is evolving in its "frequency," as

yours is, as you say, as you’re moving into um ....

Elan- Well, we do not necessarily consider it an

"evolution", but simply a conscious movement, but do proceed.

Q- Okay, let’s just say for the purposes of the

discussion, conscious movement of all the Universe ... it’s being
affected ... this Earth is affecting all?

Elan- Well, from your perspective absolutely, for as I

have said, when you change yourself, everything else then
seems to change. Remember, everything is multi-dimensional,
Infinite, and eternal ... everything contains an Infinite number of
facets and aspects.

You, in experiencing linear reality, do not truly have the

experience of interacting with the entire infinity of facets. You
attract the perception of facets of any individual that is relevant
to your particular decision and exploration. So, as you begin to
change your decision, as you begin to manifest your new
decision, you interact with the corresponding facet of any other
thing that you consider to be external. And so yes, the entire
Universe seems to change because you are now operating
through a different set of facets within the Infinite potentiality.

Does that make sense?

Q- I understand, but is there ever one perception?

50
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- Well, the perception that you would refer to as...
the perception of “All-That-Is” is at the same time, a multiplicity
and yet ... one perception.

And that becomes slightly difficult to translate, for it is

an Infinite concept and you are, at least for now, choosing to
perceive through a finite point of view. So, the answer is yes and
no. And as you begin to expand your consciousness and expand
your acceptance and allowance of more of yourself... you will
find that paradox becomes the rule and not the exception, and
that truly since you contain it all ... it is never ... never ... never
this or that, it is always both. It is always this and that.

And that always puts you right back into the center to
choose between them with absolutely equal ability. Alright?

Q- Yes, thank you.

Elan- I thank you as well. What will you do?

Q- I'll decide to stay with what's in my center ... and

make those decisions from that center of my being, at all times.

Elan- Alright, you can never stray too far from yourself,
for everywhere you turn ... there you are. And so, your
willingness to simply be more direct about knowing that no
seeming external person can possibly know you better than you
know yourself ... will allow part of your decision to be the
certainty that you are now willing to honor who you are and
settle for nothing less ... no matter what you do.

Q- Nothing is wrong, everything's right, it's always a

choice.

Elan- Everything's perfect, a perfect manifestation of

whatever it is, yes. Beginning to exercise choice consciously is

51
 Your Power on a Plate
the only thing that if you embrace and begin to express, will
immediately and fully transform your entire reality.

You can do it on a gradient, if you feel that completely

transforming would be too sudden ... but when you do it on a
gradient, you are simply making decisions closer and closer to
the you, you wish to be, so that you don’t have to be all that
preferred you at once. And ultimately, where you end up is as
that preferred you. So, you get to decide ... would you like to take
the "scenic route”, or would you like to simply ... "beam yourself
up" (so-to-speak)?

Q- Is that another process ... beaming? I don’t wanna

know.

Elan- Well, you do ...

Q- Yes, I do.

Elan- ... but I won’t tell you. [audience laughter]

The idea is that there are many creative, physical

opportunities in your future and your particular “fiction" will
often predict future reality.

Q- Speaking of futures, you're a future self of Andrew, is

that correct? Cause that's what I heard during the break.

Elan- Well, in a sense, my particular reality, planet,

experience ... vibrates at a completely different time flow than
your own. Approximately, for the purposes of comparison, ten
times faster.

So, what you would perceive as ten of your years would

play out in my reality as a hundred years of history, although our
particular relationship to time is far different from your own. So,
from your linear point of view it would appear that we are in "the
future."
52
 Your Power on a Plate
But because we are already on a more accelerated time
frame in comparison to your own, we cannot perceive each
other. And so literally, there are "Universes within a grain of
sand" there are an Infinite number of overlapping ideas or
dimensions ... they separate each other by "wavelengths" and
one of the expressions of the wavelengths is the flow of time
stream. From the channel's point of view, I could appear to be a
future incarnation ... from my point of view he could appear to
be a past self. But our realities are not in that type of sync, for
direct comparison.

Q- Well... you’ve thrown a warm blanket around the

ascension process.

Elan- Well, thank you ... what a lovely image ... covering
yourself with more of yourself.

A MIRACLE
THE OTHER PERSON SEEMED TO CHANGE
(The present is not the result of the past.)

Q- I just wanted to share something. Do you know that

this is my husband ... we're married? Maybe you know that.

Elan- Congratulations!

Q- Thank you, I wanted to say that I don’t know, about 6

or 7 months ago we completely transformed our relationship.

Elan- Alright, you made the decision.

Q- Right, and through the awareness of something that

you told me or reminded me. And that specific awareness was
that ... The present is not the result of the past unless I say so.

Elan- Thank you, very well put.

Q- And so that really worked, we just sort of forgot all

those things that weren’t working or just moved off of them ...

Elan- Well, do understand how that fits into the

mechanics that we have just discussed. When you make the
decision of who you are consciously, according to preference ...
you can simply make that decision just because you’re deciding
to make it, or you can make it with a justification or a
rationalization. If that rationalization is, "I am this person
because I have done this in the past" you do not actually
experience being a result of that past, you recreate that past in
the present as an "excuse" to make a particular decision in the
moment. So, there is the apparency, “I am affected by the past.”
But in being willing to make the decision based on “who you are”
consciously according to what you prefer, what excites you
(with your integrity) then ... the "baggage" of the past is no longer
relevant to the new decision.
54
 Your Power on a Plate
Q- Oh, so I ... Oh! I get It ... so really ... I just made another
choice, you're saying.

Elan- Yes. You always do.

Q- Alright, okay!

Elan- Now if that choice is most agreeable to you ...

congratulations!

Q- Oh, it is and thank you. And I wanted to share that,

because it almost seemed like your voice came in my head and
said that ... although I know it wasn’t your voice ... “the present
is not the result of the past.” So, I just wanted to share that.

Elan- Alright, may I ask you a question by way of what you

would refer to as ... a "testimonial?” When you shifted your
decision, did the other individual seem to change?

Q- Completely!

Elan- A miracle! [audience laughter]

Q- A miracle, yes! It is a miracle!

Elan- Alright, I am being facetious, for "miracles" are the

rule and not the exception ... once you begin to allow your
decision to include that definition and allowance.

Q- Yeah, it's amazing how people seem to miraculously

shift, and someone who you just hated last week, all of a
sudden, you're not hating them ... you know what I mean?

Elan- Well not exactly, but I will take your word for it.

Q- But I mean it's like a whole 180 degrees from what

seemed to be hopeless because ... "Just wait a minute, I’m just
going to make another choice.”

55
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- Alright, you re-create yourself 100% in every given
moment and now you have re-created yourself to interact with
another facet of any other individual that you perceive, and so
miraculously, they seem to have changed, though most simply
and accurately, you have made the new decision change. And
you are now living the "fruits" of that decision ... as you all do
with every decision you make, whether "positive" or "negative.”

Q- Ah, I just wanted to share that.

Elan- Oh, thank you. I thank you all for your willingness
to co-create this interaction in such a way where we may all
share aspects ... reflections of each other's consciousness, in
tandem and in love and joy.

Do understand, if there is anything that you perceive that

is joyful from this interaction, from what you perceive to be me...
"pat yourself on the back" ... it is truly from you. I am merely a
mirror and can only reflect back the degree of brilliance from the
original source material.

So, celebrate the recognition in yourself, that as you

expand, you now attract the means, the methods ... the tools ...
the keys to making the new decision about who you choose to
be and are, consciously.

Chapter Two

Trusting the Decision

We have been communicating with your society for quite

some time in various forms, through various individuals, in
various timings, to allow us to share the timing of the collective
transformation of your society without interfering in your
process by direct physical interaction.

Therefore, this particular type of interaction that you

refer to as "channeling" phenomenon has given us the
opportunity to learn more about you, and to share with you the
things that we find helpful in our society, and things that by the
very nature of the fact that you attracted yourself to this type of
interaction, are very timely for your individual and collective
transformation process.

Through the time that we have interacted with members

of your society in this way, we have covered a lot of material. We
have covered many ideas that have allowed you to redefine your

57
 Your Power on a Plate
understanding ... your approach ... and thereby your experience
of your reality.

We have, in that sense, covered many different issues

from many different angles and facets to allow you, in re-
defining yourself as an individual, to begin to understand with a
slightly different point of view, with a more empowered point of
view ... to be participatory in the creation of your life, in your
reality and your world, rather than merely a seeming like a
random spectator.

And thereby, in going through the process of

communicating with you for these many years, we have created
definitions, have shared distinctions, have imparted ideas that
have allowed you to begin to expand your approach, to expand
your awareness, and also expand the effect that you get in your
life, to be able to begin to express yourself consciously,
purposefully, and effortlessly while still creating challenge and
meaningful experience.

As these interactions take place they change. As you

transform, the nature of the interactions between us also then,
by definition, transforms. Were we to put a label on the phase of
interaction that we share with you up until now, perhaps, again
only as a label it would be filed under the category of "The
Simplification.”

For allowing you to create new distinctions, allowing you

to understand different ways to define yourself, allowing you to
literally recreate yourself from your old, contracted, less
empowered approach toward your new, open, expanded,
effective approach ... has served its course and now brings us to
the point to remind you that the living, the implication of the
things that we share, and the things that you are now ready to
express are truly quite simple. And so, the many distinctions and
definitions that we have shared come in handy, have their place,
58
 Your Power on a Plate
and have allowed you to hinge and pivot your approach to begin
to be more effective and productive in creating your lives.

However, the process of simplification allows you, as a

linear Being, to remain focused ... focused to express yourself
consciously without "too many details to distract you.”

The way we have simplified our particular

communications with you has been to take everything that we
have shared ... which, by all means, we can still discuss in
"older" definitional terms, but for now allowing us to continue to
render this down to three simple ideas. For every moment that
you have created yourself as a Physical Being, and for that
matter for every moment that you have created yourself as any
type of being you have ever or will ever be ... three things are
what you do and three things are all it takes to begin to shift who
you are according to your preference, according to who you
know yourself to be ... rather than any other criteria. By way of
brief review, those three things are simply:

1. THE DECISION
2. THE CONSISTENT TRUST IN THE DECISION
3. ACTION (action is the "stuff" that physical reality is
"made of," so-to-speak).

Now, physical reality actually is created on a

consciousness level, but you still function within the apparency
of the necessity for action. And so, we incorporate action into
the idea because incidentally, your actions change and the
change in that physical output seems to be what creates the
change in your reality. Therefore, we include that observation to
simply give you something to work with that falls within your
strongest belief system about how you move your reality.

59
 Your Power on a Plate

The Decision
In the last segment, we discussed in some detail the
idea of part one, The Decision and exactly what that means.
Briefly, in every given moment you create yourself 100% (not
99% not 98% not 80%) ... 100 %! And in that moment, you make
a decision, you make the decision about who you are. Now, you
already do this, always have as a Physical Being, and in that way,
always will. So, this is nothing new ... you first make a decision.

Now, up until now, the basis of your decision of "this is

who I am.” … you have created as being contingent or
dependent on external circumstance, external symbology,
timing, and what you refer to as "the past" and "the future.”
Therefore, individuals would make a decision, "This is who I am"
... based on, for instance, their circumstances, “Well, here is my
circumstance, so this must be who I am because my
circumstance is telling me so, only this type of person would
create this type of circumstance.”

And so therefore, with that approach you use your

circumstances as a gauge or a yardstick to make the decision in
this moment, "This is who I understand myself to be, this is who
I am.”

And what this actually is, is a decision about who you

are, and we revise the wording to include the word "decision"
because a decision can also be made or changed consciously.
The idea of ... “conscious Creatorhood,” which is creating your
life according to conscious preference requires that you begin
to entertain the idea of allowing your decisions to be conscious,
simply because you're going to make a decision anyway. If you
allow that decision to be conscious, according to who you know
yourself to be, your effect, your result will be more

60
 Your Power on a Plate
representative of who you know yourself to be, and who you
wish to express yourself as ... as a Physical Being.

We also mentioned that individuals will use their so-

called timings, their "past," or "future" to decide in the moment
...” This is who I am.” So, for instance they may say, “This is who
I am" and "the reason that this is who I am, the reason that I
make this decision about myself is because, ‘this happened
when I was a child’, ‘this happened in my past life’, ‘this
happened yesterday’ , ‘I did this then and therefore, that is why
I am who I am’.”

When you make the decision about who you are in that
way ... utilizing “the past” as your criteria for making the
decision, the decision still "sticks.” So, the effect that you get
is, yes, you are that type of person, and yes it seems that you are
"because" of this thing that you "did," or this thing that
“happened to you," or this thing that you "experienced.” The
point that I am making is that you make this decision about who
you are in every given moment, and by simply being aware and
entertaining the idea that this decision need not be dictated to
you by circumstances and timing, but can be created by you,
purposefully and constructively, that little extra bit of
information (to take a mechanism you already use and apply it
consciously, according to preference) is all it takes to begin,
right now, to completely re-define who you are.

By way of a suggestion ... were you to be asked who you

are ... “who are you?", my suggestion would be to begin to
answer this question for yourself by incorporating who it is that
you see as your ideal self.

For you are always going to make some decision, and if

you make a conscious decision, “Alright, I wish my life to now be
joyous, to now be satisfying ... fulfilling ... inspired” then all you
need do, is create a decision about yourself consciously from
61
 Your Power on a Plate
your creative self, from your center, and include those ideas in
the decision: satisfaction ... inspiration ... motivation ...
productivity. And therefore, when one asks you ... "who are
you?", it is always up to you to then have that answer, make that
decision, be the choice of who you know yourself to be, rather
than what timing and circumstance would seem to dictate.

Now I remind you that you already do this. You already

make a decision, whether you call it that or not, that is what you
do. A circumstance “comes along" and you tend to make a
decision, thinking that the circumstance is telling you who you
are, but actually, still, ultimately, you finally choose that
unpreferred decision yourself by ... "buying into it.”

From all the stories that you see in your life and
experience, it is only the story that you "buy into" that actually
determines your experience. All of your experience that you feel
occurs to you, is actually created from you, and so is also just a
decision. Becoming aware that the decision can now be made
according to preference is a liberating notion. And allowing
yourself to be conscious of who you are is an expansive
approach to creating your reality on purpose. By being willing to
commit to that purposeful decision and then maintain that
decision you get the effects of being the person that you now
create yourself to be ... rather than, that you have simply
become something “because of" your external circumstances
and timing.

So, in our last section we discussed purposefully

allowing your decision to be determined, clarified and
registered, purposefully allowing your decision to be a function
of your will, of your understanding of yourself and of your desire,
and not dictated to you by any elaborate external criteria that
you formally used as “evidence.”

62
 Your Power on a Plate

Trusting The Decision

Therefore, the second idea that allows you to implement
that decision to "change your life" is the idea of "trusting the
decision.”

Because you create yourself in each and every moment

completely, in each moment you make the decision about who
you are. If you have a consistency to that decision, if you choose
who you are, and then continue to decide "this is who I am," then
you create a continuity ... then you create the foundation
through which you can begin to see the changes in your reality,
see the changes in your life through the eyes or the lens of the
new decision, rather than through the eyes of an older, outdated
approach to your reality.

When you decide who you are, you begin to see your
world as that new person, and that new improved person sees
and interprets its reality and its external circumstances
differently from your older, less empowered version of yourself.
If it is an empowered decision then your new interpretation of
your circumstance becomes, "Everything in my circumstance
supports my decision. And therefore, if something happens
which is 'unexpected’ and perhaps formerly, with my old
decision ... ‘undesirable’, it is now my opportunity to see that
circumstance through the eyes of the new decision.” And
therefore, you can now derive a different interpretation and a
different effect, because your approach will now be different, it
will be the approach of the new you, that you consciously decide
to be.

Trust and Faith

Now as a distinction, I again remind you, we have
discussed before that what you call "trust" or "faith" is also,

63
 Your Power on a Plate
again, something you always have. Often when mentioning the
idea of having "trust," the idea of having "faith" we hear a
rumbling ... a groan from individuals thinking ... "Oh! ... I have to
have faith ... I have to have trust ... oh boy that is difficult!!"
Understand the irony of that statement "having faith is difficult.”
You always have trust. You always have "faith" in something and
if you think, "Ah, I am doubting and therefore not having trust,"
understand that doubt is not a lack of trust. Doubt is a complete
100% trust in the reality you say you do not prefer.

Therefore, realizing this allows you to remove the sense

of burden from the idea of "trust," because you do not have to
"muster it up" ... “build it up" ... "exercise your trust muscles" to
express it. You already trust in something and therefore, if you
simply are accurate and constructive with your approach, you
can simply understand in any situation that, "Alright ... I am
already trusting in something.”

Now, where that enters into this conversation is that you

always make a decision, and if you trust in that decision and act
as though that decision has registered, you get the effect of that
decision. If you say you do not trust the decision, perhaps
because, again, external circumstances would seem to indicate
that the decision was not registered, even then you are still
trusting in something ... generally a dis-empowered conclusion.
And when you trust in an unpreferred idea, it is truly the same
thing as making that very unpreferred idea your new decision,
instead of deciding something that you do prefer. The point
again, is that you always do these things ... you always decide ...
you always trust. You’re already extremely good at this.

Trust is Simply Maintenance

People will often think that subconscious or
unconscious ideas can override their conscious choices. If you

64
 Your Power on a Plate
wish to remove the idea of "subconscious" intention,
"unconscious" action, then, simply being willing to make your
decision consciously ... to trust your decision consciously is all
it takes to use the mechanism you already employ in your life,
and now use it constructively, now use it to have a desired
effect, to create the life that you prefer. Another very useful
distinction to notice is that trusting your decision is truly, simply
maintaining that decision. Trust in the new decision is simply
maintenance of the decision itself.

You have the idea in your society, as you begin to

introduce to yourselves the notion that "you create your own
reality.” … that you can "affirm" who you are, and in one sense,
this is accurate. However, often individuals will use what you
call "affirmation" in a semi-empowered way, where they are
simply saying something and truly believing something else and
are therefore attempting to "talk themselves into that preferred
something.”

The type of "affirmation" that we are discussing is not

“talking yourself into something.” It is perhaps more accurately
called “asserting” or "assertion" or even “conscious
commandment.” It is realizing that you're going to decide
something anyway and allowing yourself to "register" that
decision purposefully and consciously. Now instead of
convincing yourself, you are instead consciously deciding to be
the new idea. Then when any circumstance arises that may
seem on the surface, for just a moment due to your previous
tendency of creating your reality in the "older" ways the less
empowered ways, if something comes up which seems to run
contrary to that new decision ... you still have the opportunity in
every given moment to re-establish the new decision, to re-mind
yourself of your new preferred decision that you’ve already
made.

65
 Your Power on a Plate
Maintaining ... maintenance of that decision is another
way to state, another way to define "trusting the decision.” … for
it is simply using any feedback that you get from your reality,
whether it seems supportive or whether it seems, in that sense,
to be opposite of your decision, to re-align you to your new
decision, to be an opportunity to re-align yourself to your new
preferred decision. Interestingly enough ... because you create
yourselves one hundred per cent in every given moment... the
moment you make the decision, you are that new person ... "no
ifs ... ands ... or buts," no room for anyone else, that is who you
are. Your willingness to trust that your decision has registered
itself, that the new decision sticks in your reality, is also another
way to define what we mean by "trusting the decision.” It is the
complete confidence that, “The decision about who I am has
been made by me consciously. I was going to make a decision
anyway; I choose to make it consciously. And I believe ... I trust
... I insist that the new decision sticks and in making that new
preferred decision - I am that new person.” Therefore, you are
now willing to begin to see as that new person.

Making the decision, by the way, is a very definite act of

creation. When you proclaim or state your new decision, when
you begin to explore who it is you are and render who you now
are into "a sentence or two" (for you to invoke that up within you),
making that distinction creates you as that new Being.
Therefore, perhaps it is in your "best interest" to refrain from
working into the decision ideas or words that imply that you are
already "NOT" that person. In other words, it is distinctly saying,
"This is who I am," rather than “This is who I will be”, "This is who
I wish to be”, "This is who I am becoming” or even “This is who I
am not.” The act of becoming is distinct from the act of being.

Therefore, if you word your decision, “I am BECOMING

this, I'm EVOLVING TOWARD that, I am SLOWLY achieving this,"
then the effect of it being in the future and not happening right
66
 Your Power on a Plate
now is worked into the result that you experience from your
decision. Being willing to remove all that terminology and simply
saying ... "this is who I am,” perhaps adding, "Just because I say
so" allows you to experience yourself as that person now,
already, in that moment. And when you begin to truly trust this,
when you begin to apply your trust consciously, you will begin to
feel the tinge of excitement ... knowing that now that you are
indeed this new person ... you can truly only expect the results
that this new person would get. Which I assume, if you have
been getting results you do not desire in your life, would be
viewed as most attractive ... most desirable.

Trusting the decision is simply maintenance of the

decision, no matter what the outer circumstances may look like.
The only way to change those outer circumstances is to not let
them talk you out of your new decision, and instead, actually
use them to re-align and maintain the new decision. When you
use this approach instead, the outer circumstances will always
finally change to match the vibration of the new decision.

67
 Your Power on a Plate

The Establishment of a Decision

1. Be willing to be specific about that decision.
2. Allow your reality to reflect feedback to you so you can
re-align, calibrate and maintain your decision.
3. Allow your reality to show you where you may wish to
make alterations or revisions to the decision.

Your decision, as you establish it now, will only be a

result of who you know yourself to be now, and the things that
you feel are available to you now. As you begin to express
yourself anew as the preferred you, circumstances,
experiences, and what you attract will change, and you very well
may revise to an even more empowered version of the decision
that you make about yourself. And by all means, be willing to be
open to allowing the decision to be honed, carved, worked in
such a way where it is polished and where it truly reflects who
you are.

The moment you make the decision and trust that the
new decision sticks ... you then get to "reality test" the decision
and see if the decision works for you. If it is an empowered
decision ... no matter what changes you make in it over time, it
will still remain foundationally an empowered approach that
can only allow you to yield positive experience in your life.

Again, you already do this. You already decide who you

are. You already trust, either in the decision of who you are, or
you shift your trust back to the older outdated decision ... either
way, you make a new decision and get a new effect. If you go
back and forth ... shifting decisions ... changing decisions ... that
is a random expression of your decision. I need not tell you that
randomly and regularly shifting your decision creates an
atmosphere of experience that feels random and thereby your
life feels as though it happens to you, rather than from you. Your

68
 Your Power on a Plate
life feels "random" rather than purposeful. Your life feels like the
result is accidental, rather than purposeful, synchronous and
serendipitous.

And these experiences are all from decisions that you

already make. Therefore, allowing yourself to simplify ... simplify
your creative ability, by simply very finely honing in and stating
your decision ... clarifying that decision, that vision, and stating
it after the words ... " I AM ___________" (fill in the blank) and
allowing your body posture and your attitude to exemplify that
preferred decision, "I am ... this new person,” that is what
"trusting the decision" is all about.

If you begin to observe yourself in your life, you will see

in no uncertain terms, how you are already doing this, already
making some decision. And perhaps you can fascinate yourself
at the many creative ways that you actually support the
experiences in your life you say you do not prefer, by
participating in the continuance of these negative results
through fluctuating decision, by having those decisions seem to
be dictated to you by external circumstances and timing.

Observing this, still, is making the decision not to make

a positive decision. But at least it is "a step" in the direction of
"entertaining the idea" that perhaps you just might have
something to do with the creation of your reality.

Therefore, by all means, take as much time as you need,

create whatever process you wish, create whatever elaborate
set of steps will allow you to finally make the decision. But
understand, no matter what "process" you create ... no matter
what "ritual" you participate in ... ultimately, at some point along
that linear process ... you will get a result. And that result will
not, not in any way, be due to the process itself, but only be due
to, in last that moment, making the decision ... “This is who I
am”, and saying ... “The reason that I can now be this person is
69
 Your Power on a Plate
because of this elaborate process.” But ultimately, it is the
decision, after the process, "now it's alright to be this person" ...
that allows you to be that person and not the process in any way.
Understanding this allows you to begin to decide who you are ...
RIGHT NOW, not needing to create a process (unless you find
that most enjoyable), and immediately and completely
transforming the face of your entire life and reality transforming
your experience ... transforming your interpretation of your
reality, immediately transforming your relationship to yourself
and others. Making the decision consciously is an empowered,
creative act.

Having that decision be purposeful is using your creative

ability purposefully. Having the results and the experience of
your life be the result of conscious ideas uses the same
mechanism that you already use to create ideas you consider to
be unconscious or subconscious.

So, all the tools that you already use can be re-deployed
by simply shifting your perspective minutely they can be used
constructively ... can be used positively. Not because you need
to change, not because you are not a valid Being right now, not
because you are not loved by All-That-Is right now, but simply
because perhaps you’re ready for a change.

IT’S UP TO YOU
As we now proceed to the interaction and allow for the
exchange between you and myself and members of my society,
from time to time as we begin our interaction, I may ask you a
question. [speaking to an audience]

And I am asking this question to allow you to begin to

consider who you are in a conscious way. Therefore, when we
speak individually, should I ask you "who are you?" be willing, if
you wish, to play along (I will not force anyone to have too much
fun) to state the positive decision of who you are, right now, in
definite and absolute terms.

Thereby, giving you the ability and opportunity to see ...

who it is you desire to be. Now, because I understand the way
that you create "gatherings” and "speaking in public" and so
forth, as I ask you, “who are you?” ... it is always your option to
say, “I have not yet committed to that decision.” So do not feel
"on the spot" or that you must define yourself for us now. But if
you are willing to commit to who you are, that will be your first
step in beginning to express yourself in conscious terms. By
beginning to express yourself according to preference,
beginning to allow your experience to reflect who you know
yourself to be ... rather than who "everyone says" you seem to
be, how you interpret your circumstances tell you are, how your
past has resulted in your “lot in life," or for that matter, how your
future has resulted in your “lot in life”, this is expressing yourself
in conscious, purposeful terms. For often individuals will define
themselves not only by their past timing, but as we have said
earlier by their future timing... "Well, I need to do this, I haven’t
done that, this needs to be handled, this needs to be taken care
of" and "the bottom line" of that decision in that moment is: "I
am... not a prepared being and expect my reality to have a
negative outcome. Perhaps if I swim a little harder, run a little
71
 Your Power on a Plate
faster, and work a little bit more laboriously ... I might just head
off the process.”

Alright, that's one way to look at it, but it is not

necessary. Conscious Creatorhood and the statement of a
conscious Creator always begins by the sentiment or the
wording that, "I am _______ (fill in the blank).” You get to choose
what goes in that blank ... you already do. Now you can fill in that
blank with the ideal version of yourself.

Now that you know this, you can continue to play a "shell
game" with your intentions and consciousness ... but there is no
escaping the fact that you now have this information. You now
have revealed to yourself in perfect timing ... utilizing what you
consider to be me as a reflection of what you already know to be
true for yourself, and now are willing to hear and create me as
an external reflection in your life.

When I say that you create your reality 100% ... I mean it!
Therefore, everything that you see is a reflection of you.

The paradox is that this is also true for all other

individuals, but you need not confuse and perplex yourself with
that idea, simply marvel over it from time to time. But because
everything exists within you ... every single thing you perceive is
created by you to support any decision that you make in your
reality. Sometimes circumstances will seem to support your
decision by simply being a circumstance whereby you would
interpret it saying ... "ah, see my decision stuck, there is the
circumstance that proves it!"

But the other way that you deliver feedback to yourself is

by providing examples that seem to run contrary to your
decision, to allow yourself to really decide if this is ... who you
are ... or if you can be easily ... “talked out of" that decision ...
and then ultimately make a new decision according to what
72
 Your Power on a Plate
"everyone says" ... according to what circumstances and timing
dictate. But it is up to you to remain focused and up to you to
continue to express yourself consciously, continuously.

For your willingness to interact with me and establish

that at least part of your decision is to begin to explore more of
yourself and attract "symbols" (external symbology) that begin
to support your empowered decision ... I again thank you.

I thank you for allowing me to act as facilitator, but more

accurately as a "mirror," for only can you appreciate and utilize
and understand anything that you perceive that I am saying, if
you first already contain it. Otherwise, the channel's mouth
would be moving, and you would hear no words coming out and
these pages would appear blank. The fact that you hear it ... the
fact that you can read and understand it … the fact that it
resonates with you ... the fact that it seems to inspire you ... is
your direct indication that you already contain that potential
within yourself. For ultimately speaking, you are an Infinite,
multidimensional and eternal Being, and you contain it all.

I remind you that we also get a lot out of these

interactions. We also see all of you as an external reflection of
our own selves and understand that each unique point of view
that we interact with, that seems like an interaction with an
external Being ... is simply more personal exploration of facets
of our own particular, individual consciousness.

Therefore, in "not knowing what you're going to say" (so-

to-speak) ... in marveling and reveling with your particular
approach to your reality ... as I interact with you, I understand
(because to me you are simply a reflection of me) that much
more about myself ... that much more about who I am as a
Being. And therefore, the exchange in these interactions is
completely an equal exchange.

73
 Your Power on a Plate
I thank you for your willingness to allow me to interact
with you in this way, albeit an ... unconventional way, (presently
in your mass society).

For the honor of your willingness to allow me to reflect to

myself who I am, to allow you to reflect to yourself who you are
... again, I thank you unconditionally, lovingly, and ask how we
may now be mutually of service to each other through the
sharing?

BOOGIE MEN IN THE CLOSET

Q- First of all, thank you very much for this...

Elan- Oh, one moment, may I ask you a question?

Q- Yes, who am I?

Elan- Who are you?

Q- I am a person who just recently has finally discovered

that I deserve to be happy. And I made the decision to come
down here tonight in this horrendous weather all by myself and
all the time I was in the car I felt completely calm, and I thought,
“If I made this decision, I must know what I'm doing ... and I'm
going to carry it through ... and there was no mishap or anything
to get here and I ...

Elan- Was your result different from any former result

you had derived?

Q- Yes, very different.

Elan- Then I thank you for being a living example of what

I am saying. Could you be just a little more specific?

Q- About myself?

Elan- Yes. Who are you?

Q- Well, I still have a lot of ... "boogie men" in the closet.

Elan- Alright.

Q- … and I still have a lot of fears that I'm facing.

Elan- Is it joyous to you, to continue in your decision, to

express that facet?
75
 Your Power on a Plate
Q- No.

Elan- Alright, then I suggest, now that you are being very
definite and conscious about who you are, that you work in the
wording that allows you to experience the freedom of who you
are without the self-imposed "shackles "of these ideas. And
again, when you are asserting who you are, deciding who you are
consciously, be willing to ... word it in the positive.

You need not define yourself in terms of who you do not

wish to be, or who you are not, but simply be willing to say "who
... you ... are …. now.” Now, if I were to ask you who you are and
you had formulated a way to express yourself which was no
longer relevant to "boogie men" and "fears in the closet" ... how
would you word that?

Q- "I am ... a person who can make my own decisions,

trusting that the outcome will be what I prefer.”

Elan- Alright, how does that feel?

Q- Good!

Elan- How does it feel to understand, in no uncertain

terms, that ... you are that person, right now?

Q- VERY good.

Elan- Are you willing to trust that decision by maintaining

it, no matter what?

Q- Yes!

Elan- Well, CONGRATULATIONS! Welcome to more of

yourself!

76
 Your Power on a Plate
NO BIG DEAL
YOU TALK'N TO ME?
(A useful distinction between “intention" and “decision.”)

Q- How are you today?

Elan- Perfect and you by the way, are also perfect. Who
are you?

Q- I'm a healer.

Elan- Alright, congratulations!

Q- Thank you. Can you speak of the concept of The

Decision in light of the "transmutation process" that the human
species is going through at this time?

Elan- Well, as we have explained already, in many

different ways, in many different approaches, from our
perspective your body exists within your consciousness and is a
direct reflection of your consciousness. Your decision can work
and get the effect of either approach.

One approach is that your consciousness is within and

the result of your physical body and therefore in order for your
consciousness to express itself more fully, there needs be
physical expansion. And assuming that point of view ...
assuming that decision, truly will give you the effect and the
evidence that, "Yes ... I have made a physical transformation,
now I can ‘house’ more consciousness.”

However, it is just as valid to understand that your body

exists within your consciousness and as you shift your
consciousness your body shifts accordingly. If you wish to be
most accurate it always begins first in consciousness.

And even when a person winds up achieving the effect,

“I can now expand my consciousness because I have evolved
77
 Your Power on a Plate
my DNA or whatever," they will experience a shift. They will
experience more of their consciousness. It will seem or seem to
be supported that it was the physical change that allowed this.
But here’s what I ask you ... and ask from such a body-centric
approach ... where did more of this consciousness that you’ve
become actually come from? The answer: it came from you.
Where? "Out there?" Well, that's only one way to look at it.
Another way to look at it is to know that it came from your Infinite
consciousness itself.

Q- There wouldn’t be a need of change, of like the

"morphogenic structure" of which "the mass consciousness" is
a part of?

Elan- Your "morphogenic structure", though you have

been taught to believe is an environmentally determined factor,
is fundamentally a consciousness determined factor. Your
morphogenic structure already shifts, when you shift your
consciousness.

Most obviously, the creation of “dis-ease” and “dis-

comfort” is one way to understand the negative effects of
negative decisions, whether they be conscious or unconscious
decisions and then the corresponding physical results thereof.
But a change that truly takes place on a genetic level as well ...
“transmutation " ... “permutation" ... "evolution” and so forth, is
simply foundationally, a reflective response to a shift first in
consciousness.

Q- Still, you use the terminology "decision" to replace a

previous expression that you used to use, being “clear
intention," and there's got to be a reason for that, because
"intention" is always something you can "put off until
tomorrow”, whereas "decision" seems to be more immediate in
its effect.

78
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- Well, congratulations, in very creatively
structuring the answer into the question. In the process of
simplifying and bringing things down to their most “basal"
elements ... being "intentional" is one way to describe it, but
making a decision has a more definite consciously commanded
implication.

As I've mentioned, all the different ways of defining your

reality have been the result of your perception and the way that
you were "taught" to understand that things occur on a
"gradient.” So, the idea of introducing your vision initially as
“clear intention" allowed you to still come at it from your older
decision, your older point of view, your less empowered point of
view, to begin to entertain slowly, be “spoon fed", perhaps
slowly at first ... the idea of you having some kind of say in what’s
"going on.”

Now again, as you have pointed out, we now choose to

make things more definite, simply to make them more of a
complete and purposeful and utter a more unswerving
statement.

Q- So there is no more methodology, other than, as you

stated in your introduction conscious decision, trust in that
decision, and then taking action to support the trust that you
have in that decision?

Elan- Yes, which you already do.

Q- Right.

Elan- And therefore, all this is "no big deal," there's

nothing you need to learn, no resource that you need to attract
or create, simply, as everything else is, as you are fundamentally
and foundationally ... a shift ... an idea, your consciousness
applying itself consciously.

79
 Your Power on a Plate
Q- I have found in this past month that it does work.

Elan- Alright, thank you for allowing that to be worked

into your decision. And being specific about being effectual can
also be, in that sense, quite useful. Who else are you?

Q- ........ "you talkin’ to me?" Well, uh, to use a cliché, I'm

my "path of power.”

Elan- Alright, when will you get there?

Q- I'm there.

Elan- Well, are you "on your path” or are you the actual
path itself?

Q- Ah!

Elan- Wording is very key. Not to correct you, for that is

truly impossible. I can simply provide another alternative that
you may wish to choose. But wording is very key and when I ask
you who you are, be willing to also look at how you choose to
word it. Do not judge yourself if the wording is a less empowered
wording. Congratulate yourself for catching it, homing in on it,
and revising the nature of the statement of your decision to
reflect a more expanded version of yourself.

"SOUL AGREEMENTS?"

Q- Are you on your planet or your spacecraft?

Elan- Today, I am within my scout craft which is in a

particular position in my orbital path, so for me, right now, it is
day.

Q- Ah, great, I've really missed speaking with you. This is

really enjoyable for me.

Elan- Alright, how about speaking with yourself?

Q- Alright.

Elan- That is what you are doing anyway.

Q- Yeah, right. It's interesting because this decision ... I

understand that when we come here as "souls," we make a
decision to "lead a life" and experience a life here.

Elan- May I say something?

Q- Yes.

Elan- Alright, I would anyway. [audience laughter] That

decision is very, very, very general. When creating a new
empowered decision, it generally will not take the form of ... "I
will do this thing in that place at that time, I will explore this very
finite and specific issue.” Generally, in order that the new
decision be most effective, a more conducive way to state that
overall decision is ... "I will create, explore and experience the
effects of a linear existence whereby, although I am
fundamentally an all-knowing, Infinite consciousness Being
that is simultaneously existing right now and knows it all, I will
create the opportunity to impose a veil of forgetfulness on
81
 Your Power on a Plate
99.99999999 % of my knowingness so that I can have the joyful,
unique experience of discovering, of exploring, of unexpected
outcomes, all of which do not inherently have relevance to my
Infinite, all knowing, all seeing frame of consciousness.” So
fundamentally, generally, foundationally, that decision is to
utilize that advantage that this reality affords you. Do proceed.

Q- Right. So, in the decision to come here and

experience life ... we come also with an assortment of
agreements with ourselves, basically, but with other "souls"
also ... correct? I assume that.

Elan- You work that into your moment-to-moment

decision ...

Q- Right.

Elan- …. but you do not need to. That is only one way to
look at it and is also completely valid. But in the moment that
you shift your decision ... if that new decision is irrelevant to all
of that so-called "exploration," it will no longer have any
relevance to you. So those are very loose statements of
purpose, they do not “bind you" ... they do not determine your
outcome in any way, other than when they are worked into the
decision that you make.

Q- Well, it is a bit of a paradox, because I think that these

agreements need to be ... not need ... um ... are asking to be
fulfilled with souls, different souls.

Elan- That is your decision and with it you will achieve

that effect.

Q- Well, yeah and recreate, moment to moment, and

that we are in control. "Nothing's in stone," ... right? So, it's a bit
of a paradox because it seems like we can have control over

82
 Your Power on a Plate
each little new moment (we create it) yet ... the agreement
needs to be fulfilled.

Elan- What is your definition of "control?" Does it mean

a rigid absolutely "predictable" outcome?

Q- No.

Elan- For a rigid, absolutely predictable outcome is not

utilizing the spirit of the "joy of discovery" that this reality affords
you. And so therefore, if you say, "no,” to having a rigidly
predictable outcomes as you just did, and allow that definition
to loosen up so that it may express itself in many different ways,
perhaps some of those ways will be completely unexpected.
Then it does not run contrary to allowing your perception, and
therefore your decision, of agreements to play out. Does that
make sense?

Q- Yes.

Elan- Alright, proceed.

Q- I'd like to get to the specifics that relate to my life that

I wanted to ask you about. It's about my children. They did
relocate, physically, and I'm wondering about that agreement
because it's a pretty major move.

Elan- May I ask you a question?

Q- Yes.

Elan- Close your eyes ... assume that your children

physically moving is extraneous and an interruption in your
process.

Are you doing that?

Q- Yes.

83
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- Explain how you feel. Describe.

Q- It feels out of line ... out of whack. It doesn’t seem like

it flows.

Elan- Be more specific. Is it not emotionally jarring?

q- Yes! It's a bump in the road.

Elan- Is it "intense?" Is it "negative?" Do you not express

fear and anger and distrust?

Q-Yes.

Elan- Alright, you can stop. Are your eyes still closed?

Q- Yes.

Elan- Alright ... assume for a moment that the absolute,

most beneficial way for you to create the relationship that you
absolutely prefer with your children, can only be achieved by
this move having been made and playing out in its natural
timing. Assuming that knowledge, timing, and resources are
being gathered by all for more optimal future physical
interactions. Are you doing that?

Q- Yes, I am.

Elan- How does that feel?

Q- It feels so great and it's refreshing, which ... I've

approached it that way ... and yes, when I do, it feels good.

Elan- Well, you have been sitting here the whole time,
you have gone nowhere and just in your mind created two
distinct sets of emotions and all that you have actually done ...
(and I thank you for illustrating the topic at hand) is shift your
decision. And the shift in the decision comes along with a shift
in emotion, a shift in thinking and ultimately cannot help to have
84
 Your Power on a Plate
a shift in your outer action and therefore, cannot help but have
a shift in your outer result.

Now, here’s the fascinating thing, both of those choices

are true. And I do not say this to “befuddle" you, or to confuse
you. I say this to let you see the extent to which they are both
equal choices. And choices, they are. And the only effect that
you can possibly get out of them will depend on which one of
them you assert, assume and decide to be. And I mean
"assume" in the terms of "trying it on," assuming a posture ... not
as an assumption that something might be so, because it is so.

When you sat and made that first unpreferred decision

... that was so, you felt that way, you even attracted the
evidence. When you shifted your decision, simply because you
entertained the idea that such a thing was possible ... along
came the supportive structure, the logic, the evidence that
came along with that. Now, when I say “both are true” ... I truly
mean it.

Therefore, the idea that this physical move is not only

beneficial (are you paying attention?) but essential to your
relationship being in its most positive light, how does that feel?
Does that take the pressure off, so-to-speak?

Q- Uh...

Elan- Are you fluctuating in your decision as we speak?

Q- No, that's what I've come up with in the past week.

Elan- Well, when you really "come up with it," when you
be it ... it is far more purposeful, far more definite than the tone
that you are now expressing it through. Again, not invalidating
you, simply pointing out ... sit up straight, make the statement,
do not be, as you say in your slang, "wishy-washy" about it.

85
 Your Power on a Plate
("Wishy-washy" ... very interesting terminology ... fascinating
language.)

Do you understand what I am saying?

Q- I do.

Elan- Is this useful or is it simply "airy philosophy?"

Q- No, no, no, you're speaking exactly what ... I

understand you completely.

Elan- Alright, so I would suggest ... if you are already

doing it, that perhaps you are still not fully committed (or weren’t
until having this discussion) to truly accept your decision,
trusting and maintaining it unswervingly, and then allowing any
opportunity, any external circumstance, any timing, any history,
any futuring ... allow that to support your preferred decision ...
see through the "eyes" of that preferred decision ONLY, act as a
person who has made that decision, rather than is waiting for
the feedback to allow it to be okay to make that decision. These
are distinct gradations and nuances of making a definitive
decision.

Decisions can be fully committed statements of “who

you are” with complete purposefulness, or they can be, again,
slightly ... "wishy-washy.”

Q- I was wondering if you have anything to add to ... “I’ve

created this situation ... now this allows me to do something.”

Elan- Absolutely, and that would perhaps be a more

constructive way to look at it. Now, does it excite you that it
might be creating a new opportunity?

Q- Very much!

Elan- Alright ... then use that energy.

86
 Your Power on a Plate
And I assume, when observing members of your species
and members of mine as well, when you have a positive
expectancy, that excitement drives you ... motivates you ...
inspires you. So, if you do not feel driven, inspired, and
motivated in that moment, you are perhaps expressing either a
different older decision, or not as defined and clear a version of
the same decision. So, you can remind yourself of your decision,
trust in that decision (maintain that it is registered, that it is so),
so you can proceed with the excitement of understanding that
which then aids and assists with your so called "energy level," to
then support the actions of your new decision.

Q- Okay, and ... and for a nice touch too, to also get into
the emotion ... feel the emotion that it's "bringing up.”

Elan- Now, if you find the creation of negative emotion ...

perhaps your way to allow yourself to shift most quickly, is to
first allow yourself to experience it, fully ... have it be alright to
feel this ... "Alright, I understand that this negative emotion, fear
... loneliness ... abandonment ... whatever, this negative
emotion must be the result of a disempowered outdated
decision that I am making right now ... and by all means, I intend
to have my decision be re-established ... but before I do, let me
experience my creation, let me feel this fear, let me feel this
apprehension, until it plays out. Although it may seem that it
could overwhelm me, that it could injure or kill me ... it really
can’t.”

And therefore, allowing yourself to experience it,

actually will wind up supporting the re-establishment of your
positive decision ... because when you understand, “I feel this
fear, therefore the decision I am making now is that I am alone
... that I am not loved ... that I am not supported and when I make
that decision, this is how I feel.” "Well, perhaps I do not desire
to feel this way on a regular basis, so now I know, without any
87
 Your Power on a Plate
doubt that this negative decision feels this way and that reminds
me, I would rather have this new positive decision ... over here.”

Q- Okay, stop. How can I interpret that through the eyes

of a four-year-old or a six-year-old of how ... I'm not so worried,
so much worried about me because I know I can take care of
myself, but I'm worried about ... can they take care of
themselves without me, or you know, that part of what they're
going to be missing? Can I maybe use my power to create a little
bit more security and love on their behalf? Do you understand
what I am saying?

Elan- Yes, I'm simply waiting for you to tell me to "go,"

since you told me to stop. [audience laughter]

Q- Oh, go.

Elan- Alright, good-bye. [audience laughter] Now I

understand, as what you call a "parental unit" in your society,
that it is generally your training to assume that you must be
responsible for the individuals that you are, quote, unquote,
"guardian" of, but you can only be responsible to them and not
for them, regardless of if they are four years old or one hundred
and four years old.

So therefore, exploring the ramifications of what they are

going through in terms of taking responsibility for their
exploration does not put you in the most empowered position to
have your decision to be effectual, have a positive effect in their
life.

What they are going through is what they are going

through. It may not seem immediately intuitive that a four-year-
old is having an “exploration.” But remember that they are also
Infinite souls first and foundationally. They are exploring being
finite, just like you are. If the opportunity arises to dialogue with

88
 Your Power on a Plate
that, by all means, you can clarify your understanding of what
they are going through, but truly the "example" that you provide
is the largest service, is being responsible to them, rather than
for them. And you need not concern yourself with the effects on
them, as though they too do not have sovereignty and decision-
making capability.

You may reassure them that on some level they are

participating in this timing for a reason. If they wish in that sense
to understand the reason, by all means, they can explore it, and
if not, well, your children have a tendency to begin to engage
themselves in other things quite quickly.

So, are you willing to be responsible to those individuals

rather than for them? And just to be clear and precise, you are
responsible to others and for yourself by being the best, most
holistic, authentic version of yourself, in each and every given
situation, including this one. That is always your greatest gift
anyway.

Q- Yes.

Elan- Does that not then allow you to feel more whole
and therefore effective?

Q- Yes.

Elan- Congratulations, now you can go and be that best

version of yourself in this, and any other situation.

89
 Your Power on a Plate
BEING THAT PERSON
YOU WILL VERY QUICKLY FIND
(It simply becomes "automatic.”)

Alright I'll say, before we continue with the sharing, allow

me to simply say ... in my society our particular approach
embodies much of what we discuss with you. However, perhaps
you would perceive that it is simply automatic to us, an
automatic approach.

And so allow me to say, as you begin to not simply

"entertain" the ideas that we share about consciously applying
your decision, trusting and acting on that decision ... as you
begin instead to do that ... to be that person, although at first it
may seem as though it is required for you to maintain trust, to
continue to maintain the decision ... you will very quickly find,
you will very quickly convince yourself, that ... you are indeed the
person you have decided to be.

And therefore, it is only initially that it would seem that

there is any need to "rise to the level" of trusting your decision. It
simply becomes automatic ... you are that person, and the trust
and support for the decision ... the actions through the trust and
support of the decision ... become automatic.

Excitement for the Unexpected

In our society ... because we consciously understand
and revel in the unique opportunity that linear reality has to
offer, we actually prefer unexpected results in our reality, in our
flow, in our creation, in our experience. To us, unexpected
results, in very many ways, are the most sublime creation
available to us.

When we lay down a particular idea that we wish to

experience and may have some mechanical notion of how it
90
 Your Power on a Plate
may "fall into place" ... or how things such as that have a
tendency to manifest, we always "work in" the allowance for an
unexpected result, an unexpected method through which our
decision manifests.

So therefore, to us, something "unexpected" is not an

“interruption.” It is a vital part of the process that allows us to
express our finite nature. It allows us to express ourselves as
finite Beings and therefore we find great joy, revelation,
celebration, and festival in unexpected outcomes.

We understand however, that any outcome that we

might experience and create that is "unexpected" does not run
contrary to our decision about who we choose to be, it is not
evidence to us that our self-defining decision isn’t so. Only can
an unexpected outcome be a direct result of our decision and
we revel in our willingness to have our reality be full of surprise,
be full of discovery, be full of unexpected manifestation and
unexpected outcomes.

So therefore, I share this with you to introduce the notion

of being willing to revel in and actually embrace unexpected
outcomes as they occur when you re-define ... when you use it
to re-decide who you are.

For that attitude ... that relationship with unexpected

outcomes allows you to begin to look forward to something that
you formerly considered to be an interruption, a hurdle or, "Ugh!
... this is a roadblock" (sometimes you will say). By
understanding that a "roadblock" is simply a turn in the
expected road leading to a new road that actually has nicer
scenery, you allow yourself to begin to revel in what an
unexpected outcome delivers. You begin to dive into desiring
unexpected outcomes. Generally speaking, unexpected
outcomes will deliver results that did not seem to be possible at
that timing and will deliver results that would have seemed
91
 Your Power on a Plate
impossible within the existing circumstances ... but only when
you are willing to recognize unexpected outcome as part of the
process, part of the manifestation, and not an interruption in it.

The very same unexpected outcome will only be

experienced by you according to your particular definition and
interpretation of that outcome. And should something come
along that is unexpected and you define it as extraneous, a
roadblock ... you can only get the effect you label "interruption.”
However, if you revel ... if you dive into an unexpected outcome
as ... "Ah ... how creative, this cannot be ‘the one thing' that runs
contrary to my decision. Therefore, this unexpected outcome is
a result of my decision ... therefore, this unexpected outcome
contains unexpected jewels, unexpected opportunity," then you
begin to achieve, to "assume the posture" to allow yourself to
find the advantage in that unexpected outcome, rather than to
create it as an interruption. In these cases, you have the same
circumstance, different interpretation. One interpretation ...
“this is an interruption," can only be an interpretation through
the lens of an "old" decision which contained ... “I can be
interrupted ... inconvenienced.” The new decision, assumedly,
if it is an empowered decision, will contain the understanding
that ... "everything is part of the process" and therefore the
unexpected is like a surprise gift ... "Now I get to unwrap it. Now
I get to see how this is even perhaps "better" (in your
terminology) than what I had imagined was possible with the
circumstances that are in place.” This is seeing through the lens
of the preferred decision or belief.

So, your willingness to approach your reality through the

eyes, through the perception, through the "senses", through the
“lens” of your new decision ... allows everything that you
perceive to be interpreted in a positive way that supports the
positive decision ... as opposed to interruptive.

92
 Your Power on a Plate
Remember, the circumstances themselves are neutral,
they are a neutral set of props with no "built in" meaning. You
assign the meaning. You assume the trust in the meaning you
have "assigned.” In a sense, the assignment of meaning is
deciding ... making a decision ... trusting that decision ... acting
on the trust. And if it is a negative interpretation, only can you
experience a negative outcome. So, you can be willing to begin
to see through the eyes ... through the senses ... through the
interpretation and perception, the lens, of your positive,
completely empowered decision about “who you are,” and
nothing ... nothing (did he say "nothing”? ... I think so.) has any
influence on you whatsoever except your decision.

And your interpretation is simply the receptivity that

allows you to re-assert your decision ... or change it. But
ultimately ... your interpretation ... results in a decision every
time.

Thank you for allowing me to share that distinction. Most

likely it was unexpected, so you're already doing just fine.

Sharing!

93
 Your Power on a Plate
A ONE PERSON ARGUMENT?
THE “OTHER PERSON” EXCUSE
(Perhaps you'll even thank them ... rather than forsake them.)

Q- Okay, about decisions. Say we've made a decision

and we're living it just fine, but there are other people in the
world that we have to interact with.

Elan- Ah, the other person excuse.

Now what you are simply sharing with me is something

that you "build into" your decision ... a supposition that you can
experience. But it is also an option to understand that anyone
else's process is "synchronous" to your own, and as you shift
your decision, your perception of other individuals will change
so drastically that they will have appeared to actually change.

If you have your decision be consciously inclusive of the

allowance that all others’ decisions would never be able to
interfere with your own and can only be synergistic with your
own ... then their process will never seem to interfere with you.
You will not choose to interpret any aspect or result of their
process as an interference or an interruption.

Do proceed, does that answer the question?

Q- Ah, well, that's "pretty good," but what about ...

Elan- Oh, "pretty" good?

Q- What about, you know, other people that have made

decisions or believe the things that are kind of opposite?

Elan- Well, they will experience the results that emerge

from their decisions ... regardless of you and your decision
anyway, but that need not be an interference in your process. Or
can you understand that if you see something in another that
seems to run contrary to your decision ... that simply allows you,
94
 Your Power on a Plate
in no uncertain terms, to remember your decision and therefore
is a service, has assisted you to realign to your decision.

Now when you look at it that way ... your attitude toward
them changes ... your action toward them changes. Perhaps
you'll even thank them, rather than forsake them. Naturally,
their response will have to change as well, and therefore ...
same set of individuals ... one different approach, an entirely
different outcome.

Q- Yes ....

Elan- You sound hesitant.

Q- No, I was just imagining actually thanking someone

for arguing with me.

Elan- Well, alright. Do you, in your statement of who you

are (and fear not, I will ask you "who you are?") choose to
express yourself as argumentative?

Q- No.

Elan- Is an argument only something perpetuated by

more than one individual? I will answer that ... yes.

Q- Yes.

Elan- Therefore, can an "argument" continue to take

place with only one person?

Q- Well, sometimes it seems like it.

Elan- Absolutely, ... but that would not affect you, and in
fact may be ... quite humorous.

Q- I can see that.

Elan- Now the idea is this, what feels better to you,

remembering who you are, needing to be right, or thanking
95
 Your Power on a Plate
someone for assisting you to realign to who you are? Which feels
more natural?

Q- Thanking them, just reminding myself not to get

involved in, you know, reminding myself to be who I want to be
and not be them.

Elan- Does that not feel different? Does that not then still
allow another individual to have their process ... validate their
process? But only can whatever your perception is, reinforce
your new decision, and in a sense, could you then not "make a
case," as you say, for actually experiencing gratitude toward
that individual for reminding you of your decision by showing you
an example of what your decision is not?? Is it really that difficult
to picture yourself thanking the individual for their reflection and
reinforcement of your own self-decision, or now that it has been
introduced to you, is it not actually an intriguing option?

Q- Well, I'll probably try it.

Elan- Oh … probably … try. Ah, if you "try it," then you

may get a result, but if you do it, you will get a result. Trying is
one step removed from doing ... it is doing, with a built-in
allowance that you may fail. All the trying is not the doing of the
thing simply ... the doing of trying.

Now, in light of that, are you going to try, or simply

understand truly, foundationally, fundamentally ... that any
individual, no matter what their process is, if you have attracted
them, does reflect a service back to you, and you may find it
within yourself to feel gratitude for that and to thank them for it?

Q- Thank you, thank you ... well ... not, you know, not in
a bad way, thank you.

96
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- Oh, and thank you, good, thank you, alright, very
creative. Understood. Do you understand what I am saying, and
can you use this?

Q- Definitely. Thank you.

Elan- Enjoy, for understand in no uncertain terms, that is

not the approach that you have formerly taken ... (gratitude,
alignment, thankfulness) using everything to support your
decision.

And therefore, you are now embarking on something

new ... different ... exciting ... integrative and only can you get a
corresponding, new ... exciting ... and integrated result. And I
would imagine, if you are beginning to really accept this facet of
yourself, that it would be somewhat exciting, and perhaps you
will even look forward to the next opportunity to not participate
in an argument. Perhaps you will find yourself disappointed ...
"Uh, he's not arguing with me, how can I align???" Fear not, you
are still aligned. But you are getting my point, yes?

Q- Yes.

Elan- Thank you. Is that all?

Q- Yes, that's all, thank you.

Elan- Ah, that was quite a bit. However, you don’t get
away that easily. Who are you?

Q- UM... I... okay ....

Elan- How do you spell that? U ...M ...?

Q- I AM ... I am a person who does what feels best at any

moment and okay, now I'm a person who remembers who I am
and doesn’t get led astray as easily ... at all.

97
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- Alright, perhaps again, wording it in the positive ...
You remain focused rather than that you do not "go astray.”
"NOT go astray" still puts emphasis and focus on … “going
astray.” Remaining focused ... keeps you focused.

Q- I remain focused.

Elan- Alright, I thank you for the gift that you have shared,
not only with me, not only with yourself, but with everyone else
who created the reflection of what you have just contributed.
Because of your bold sharing, many people may now begin to
thank those who attempt to argue with them, validating all
points of view, while leaving a lot of people scratching their
heads. And, ultimately, creating a smoother path toward …
peace. We thank you.

TURN ABOUT IS FAIR PLAY

(A joyous, productive, serendipitous Being.)

Q- Sometime this evening could you tell us, who are

you?

Elan- Ah, brings to mind your saying, "turnabout is fair

play.” I thank you ... perhaps. Now, I am having fun with you.
Allow me to simply say, I am a joyous, serendipitous Being who
expresses himself fully, purposefully, and intentionally, all the
while marveling and reveling at unexpected outcomes,
remaining engaged fully and committedly to the creation and
experience of my reality and all that it entails.

Q- That's what I was going to say!

Elan- Ah! Alright, then allow me to say to you ... "Well

put.” [audience laughter]

Q- That was funny. You aren’t laughing.

Elan- By the way, laughing through the channel ... the

physical channel laughing is a form of extreme alignment. Were
the channel to laugh, literally, there could be a momentary
break in the connection, so-to-speak. I will not go into the
mechanics of this now, simply accept that. But do understand,
that though there may seem to be a consistent demeanor within
what you perceive to be the channel, we do laugh, revel and
utterly enjoy these interactions. Allow me to thank you for
sharing that.

WHAT'S SO
AN AGREEMENT-APPARENCY
(Please do not disturb.)

Q- Often times I hear people talk about things that are

"happening" and things that are "going to come" ... like the
problems in the inner city that are happening, ah, the economic
shifts that are happening or ... the Earth changes that are coming
... and they talk about these things as though they are external,
as though they are inevitable and they really are not looking
forward to these things.

Elan- And they experience them, by the way, in this way

for it is built-in to their self-decision. And there is no one "the"
future, there is an Infinite number of probable futures, so
everyone gets to experience the results of their decisions
without disturbing anyone else.

Q- Precisely. It seems fair to say that there's an Infinite

number of possible realities and while we all experience our
own subjective reality reflected back to us by the people around
us ... there's an apparency that many of us are in agreement as
to "what's so" and we experience a reality that has many
common elements ...

Elan- ... which seems similar, though it is only, truly, an

agreement apparency. But do proceed.

Q- Exactly! The assumption, however, on the part of

many, is that in fact we’re all within a reality with specific
parameters and there's very little flexibility.

Elan- Absolutely. The assumption is that by many ... not

all.

Q- You know however, it’s obvious that we're never going

to experience anything other than what everyone's always
100
 Your Power on a Plate
experienced, if one by one we don’t take responsibility to go
outside the paradigm, to push the bubble back a little bit and
create things in a way that we prefer.

Elan- Or recreate “the bubble" all together ...

Q- Exactly.

Elan- ... rather than PUSHING against it.

Q- You know, it's that these things that we perceive, like

"Earth changes" and economic shifts and the like ... from
retrospect or from the viewpoint of the future looking back on it
we realize how it was absolutely perfect that these things occur
and that in fact, rather than being the catastrophe that we
thought they were ... they did in fact facilitate the transformation
that we're all saying we do want to experience.

Elan- I thank you for noticing.

Q- And ... That’s who I am. I'm a stand for the

possibilities.

Elan- Alright, I already knew who you were ... but thank
you.

Q- Thank you and it's good to be visiting with you.

Elan- At this timing, allow me once again and for the first
time, for I create myself anew in each and every moment as well
... to thank you for your willingness to give the gift of the
expression ... of the reflection of your decision of “who you are.”

This brings me enrichment in understanding about

myself as a Being, and within these interactions observing and
participating in your particular approach is how I choose to
reflect that to myself, and so to me these are "riches beyond
measure" (as you say). I thank you for your willingness to unwrap

Chapter Three

Right Now

Allow me to begin this section with the following

entitlement: Right Now. Before we proceed, allow me to express
my gratitude for your willingness to co-create this interaction,
for only will an action ... an “inter-action” between us … be the
result of such a co-creation. Very literally, we are all each other's
version of whoever we are, for each and every one of you create
reality in its entirety. And so do I, from my perspective.

And although it seems on the surface to be "impossible"

that we all do this, and that that statement still be accurate,
nevertheless you are now on the fringes of understanding what
you would refer to in your vernacular as an Infinite concept of
reality, and infinity allows for all possibilities not merely one or
another. Always will infinity include both and therefore, from
your linear point of view sometimes Infinite concepts will often

103
 Your Power on a Plate
seem as though they are paradoxical or mutually exclusive from
a finite point of view.

But when you get down to understanding yourself as a

whole Being you will understand that it is all true and that the
ultimate truth is by necessity composed of all truths. Leave but
one truth out and it's the ultimate truth — minus one, and
therefore not ultimately "THE ultimate truth" (in the way that you
understand these terms in your language). Therefore, all that
you perceive is your version of reality, your version of
circumstance, your version of any other individual that you are
perceiving you are interacting with.

Your version is what you create and reflect upon, and

your version is what you directly interact with. As Infinite
Creators, now that you are temporarily experiencing yourselves
as being linear, you still maintain a concept which still
translates into, even in your linear thinking, "now.”

“Now” as you sometimes say, is "the only time there

really is" and though you will create your reality as a seeming ...
succession ... of nows ... that seem to come one after another,
more accurately it is in fact one eternal now.

Your Infinite point of view exists right now in its entirety,

not becoming anything that it isn’t already, but being completely
everything ... right now.

Your finite point of view, your finite experience, has the

advantage of the porthole (if you will) of the understanding of
what you call "right now" because even though you do
experience yourselves as a seeming progression of nows, EACH
NOW when you choose to understand this is complete and
contains it all. In that sense, each now is holographic in nature.

104
 Your Power on a Plate
Another way of looking at this is that, right now you have
everything you need to do anything you want... to be any person
you want, to experience any reality that you know is true for you.
The idea of becoming something that you are not already is an
illusion. It is a playing out of what you create as a succession of
nows, but ultimately a self-decision is always made, right now
... and that is your experience, right now. Often you will assume
in a given now moment, that there is something to "obtain" that
there is "a goal to reach", that there is something to "become"
that you aren’t already. This is an apparency and is part of the
self-decision that you make, and that decision, in and of itself
says, “I am not this and will become that ... in a so called
different now.”

When you do that, in effect sell yourself short, you

experience the idea of not having what you need ... right now.
But it is only because of your approach, your interpretation, and
your decision; right now.

What I am suggesting and what I am reflecting to you in

perfect timing (in how you have attracted this interaction and
how you attract any knowledge, timing and resources that you
create in your life), is the concept that you already have what you
need right now.

You already have the knowledge that you need to at least

take the appropriate steps ... right now. You already know what
you need to know when you need to know it ... right now. Building
that expansive approach into your decision in the moment
(assuming the posture of or becoming the idea that you do
already know it, whatever "it" happens to be) allows you to begin
to access your greater inner knowledge, access your inherent
power, right now. (not tomorrow, not one minute from now, but
... right now).

105
 Your Power on a Plate
Beginning to play with the idea that you do contain the
answers, that you do contain the power ... that you can do the
things you say you desire to do already, allows you to begin to
step in accord with your power and, so-to-speak, channel your
power into the present.

You already channel your power into the present, but

when you are not specific about your decision about who you
are in the present, you introduce an element you generally refer
to as "randomness," as opposed to “purposefulness.” And
therefore, simply being willing to entertain the notion that you
contain it all ... that you know what you need to know when you
need to know it, that there is something right now that you can
do that will allow you to fully be who you are, allows you, again,
to begin to be conscious in the management and dispensation
of your amazing power.

Excitement
Which again, I remind you, you will use anyway, but we
are introducing the idea of purposefulness, for you all seem to
say, "what is my purpose?" Your purpose is completely up to
you. An indicator of your purpose is what you refer to as "your
passion ... your excitement", from what is available in a given
moment.

In any given right now moment something will always

stand out as feeling more exciting to do than anything else that
is available in that moment. This vibrational discernment of
excitement is you reflecting back to yourself, from within the
situation, who you are. It points you to which alternative from
what is available in any given moment is most representative of
the you that you know yourself to be.

As we have discussed also, in each and every now

moment, right now, you make a decision about who you are.
106
 Your Power on a Plate
That decision can be based upon many different criteria. What
we have suggested to begin to entertain, is the idea of allowing
that self-decision to be according to your preference, according
to your desire and according to your inherent knowingness of
who you are, based on perhaps to play the linear game, who you
desire to be (if you feel that you are not the person you already
wish to be). But the idea is that the only thing that prevents you
from getting the effect of being a particular person you desire to
be and feel perhaps that you are not yet, is a decision ... right
now that you are not that person you desire to be, and then you
generally plug in conditions to get there, ... "and I must do this
... this ... this ... and this" before you will actually decide that you
are the new preferred you.

Ultimately it always then, again, boils down to ... the

Decision, "This is who I am.” By choice.

Beginning to ask yourself ... "who am I?" "Who would I

desire to be if I could be anyone?" This allows you to begin to
clarify ... to define ... to establish ... to discern ... to ascertain
who you are, according to your own criteria. Only you truly know
who you are. Others can only guess.

For though individuals will sometimes say in your

society ... "I know you better than you know yourself.”
Understand that this is impossible ... only do you know who you
are. Someone can say ... “You are this person" and you can then
decide, “Well, they must be right because everyone always tells
me so.” Ultimately, it is only your agreement (your self-decision)
that gives you the effect of being a person who someone else
observes you to be. From, again, your knowingness, only you
know who you are, anyone else's feedback is simply
reinforcement to the understanding of who you are, either
because their renderings are accurate and allow you to say ...
"yes, that is me", or because their observations are not at all who
107
 Your Power on a Plate
you know yourself to be and allow you to see more clearly who
you are “in relief” to the mis-identification that they seem to be
observing.

Your decision is always made ... right now. In a sense,

whoever you decide that you are right now ... you are.

And then ... right now, should you choose to be someone

else: you are, automatically and across the board. This
mechanism is always in place, always has been ... and always
will be. So, there is no matter of gaining the “spiritual tools” and
knowledge to be who you are. It is a matter of understanding that
you already apply those tools 100 %. You always decide
something and therefore, because you have done this flawlessly
your whole entire life (and in fact, before but that’s another
story) you are experts at deciding who you are.

The introduction of conscious intention is the fulcrum ...

it is the threshold that allows you to create consciously … that
transforms any idea or experience of what you heretofore have
labeled "subconscious" ... “unconscious.” The effects that you
would seem to get from the "sub-conscious" ("the unconscious
closet") are truly only fancily worded decisions that allow (in the
statement of the decision itself) for randomness, for "hiding"
parts of yourself from yourself, for rationalizing unpreferred
behavior. If you simply decide to decide consciously, right now,
that is all it takes to begin to express yourself consciously. Your
decision, now being the product of a conscious understanding,
immediately transforms any effects that would appear to be
"subconscious" or "unconscious.”

Sometimes we will make the statement that what you

refer to as “unconscious" knowingness, is really the same as
“conscious un-knowingness.” And what this basically boils
down to mean is that you still decide ... not to decide. It’s still a
decision. Therefore, then the effects seem to come from
108
 Your Power on a Plate
“another source” ... but there is no “other” source. You are the
Infinite Creators of your own reality. So expert are you at creating
your reality completely, that you can experience the apparency
of an external Universe. So expert are you at completely
expressing yourself in finite terms, that it can seem as though
you are in a reality, only but a minute member, a grain of sand in
the infinity of creation.

This is the degree of power that you possess as a Creator

... the ability to completely forget that you even create it at all.

Again, where the advantage of that awareness comes in

is that you, in choosing to “forget who you are” in linear reality,
allow yourself to un-cover, dis-cover, to see who you are. And
that joy of discovery is part of the advantage of linear thinking ...
of your linear experience.

However, you can still have the joy of discovery, you can
still have the experience of expansion, without needing to
perpetuate the illusion that you are but a grain of sand in infinity.
And this is what you are beginning to do.

In even attracting yourself to an interaction such as this,

not that it is from us or that we are any better than any other
source, but simply that our approach is expanded and
completely self-empowering ... the mere fact that you attract it,
tells you ... this is your timing, this is you, unfolding your own
timing to yourself.

And in even calling us or myself “another source” ... I am

playing into the illusion, for I am ... truly ... foundationally ...
fundamentally ... most basically ... a reflection of YOU.

109
 Your Power on a Plate
And when you see anything that you find desirable in
anything, including our approach to life, it is simply you reveling
in what you already contain.

And this is why when interacting with you, we do not

accept credit. It is like walking up to the mirror and saying to the
mirror, "you have helped me to be more me.” Well, alright,
perhaps that's one way to look at it. But ultimately you are the
originating brilliant source of light, reflected then back to
yourself ... and you are the one then beholding the reflection and
marveling. Incidentally, the mirror is also you, as well.

And therefore, we remind you of this because you need

not create an elaborate process in unusual circumstances to
reflect back to yourself who you are. Interactions such as this,
by all means, are one way to reflect to yourself. But walking
down your street and simply beholding something that you find
inspiring, interacting with another individual and feeling that
individual, breathing the air of your planet, smelling a beautiful
flower; all of these things are you, reflecting back to yourself,
and are cause for celebration of yourself … of your willingness
to express yourself in terms whereby you are able to appreciate
who you are and express yourself in these terms. This all always
occurs right now, and right now is your point of power, is your
portal of entry, is your …. center point. And because now always
exists, because it is always right now you are never, ever, ever,
ever, ever, ever, ever cut off from yourself or your power unless
you decide that that is who you are, in that right now moment.

And even when making such a disempowering decision

you are still exercising your power one hundred percent.
Therefore, as Creators you have no "off switch", you are always
"on.”

Your ability to create in the “now" enables you to

interpret your reality through this understanding, through the
110
 Your Power on a Plate
understanding that your power is nothing to obtain. Your power
is nothing to grow toward. Your power is nothing to become.
Your power is who you already are.

Allow me to simply say, our sentiment toward you and

toward all Beings, but you as well, is unconditional love and
appreciation. This means no matter what... no matter who you
decide to be ... right now ... we will always love you and
appreciate your decision, even though that decision may
completely differ from a decision that perhaps we would make.
Now again, I do not mention this because it is us and we occupy
any place of authority. I mention it as an example, as an
invitation to treat yourself with that same respect. I mention it as
an invitation to unconditionally love yourself as well, because
that too, is a … decision.

By being willing to unconditionally love and appreciate

yourself, which again is only a decision, you free yourself up to
express yourself effortlessly and fully.

You replace any former decision that you have made ...
perhaps assuming that your self-love must be earned. If you
decide your self-love must be earned ... that is conditional self-
love. And that is not a law or a tendency of the Universe ... and
that is a decision as well. You get to decide.

When you "conditionally" love yourself, if you fall short

of who you think you should be ... you render the judgment ...
you get the effect ... you create the true opposite of
unconditional love ... which is the emotion you refer to as guilt.

All you need do is, again, take that same ability, that
same application and simply decide, “I unconditionally love and
appreciate myself.” This means no matter what I do or no matter
in my explorations, no matter which effect I may achieve; I am
not willing to allow the leeway of the removal of that love. That
111
 Your Power on a Plate
self-love is a given.” That, again, is a decision that you can make
and many of you do ... fleetingly ... but you can decide ... right
now (where your power lies in each and every moment) to simply
cut yourself at least that much slack.

For unconditionally loving yourself allows you to

express yourself fully and effortlessly and allows you to make
decisions which are consistent with the deeper understanding
of who you know yourself to be, rather than out of guilt and
obligation, which is someone else's version of who you should
be, and then your agreement with that particular decision.

Therefore, entertain the idea that when you

unconditionally love yourself, you are maximally affected and
effective, and by convention you then give yourself the
framework in which to unconditionally love others as well. And
this means you do not need to agree with their approach ... you
do not need to agree with their decision ... but at least you can
validate them as a valid set of decisions ... with a valid set of
outcomes, which is "true" for them. And again ... the ultimate
truth is composed of all truths, anyway.

So, invalidating someone else's truth ... truly invalidates

yourself.

For again, your willingness to co-create this interaction

with me, I again thank you and ask you how we may mutually be
of service to each other with the sharing.

Sharing!

BUT A GRAIN OF SAND?
CHANGING YOURSELF ... CHANGES IT ALL
(You don't have to corral many monkeys.)

Q- As one Being on this planet, one of nearly six billion, I

keep hearing the idea that one person can have a real impact on,
let's say, the mass consciousness of this entire planet and from
an engineering standpoint ... "one out of six billion," how can
that be?

Elan- Ah, very interesting question, in understanding

that we know each other and that you have been privy to our
point of view many times, would you care to answer that?

Q- Well, one thing I think of is ... the hundredth monkey

phenomenon. But I don't think that really applies to what I just
said.

Elan- Perhaps your question is asked from the

standpoint of the "grain of sand" in the Infinite Universe that we
had mentioned in the introduction to this interaction (assuming
yourself as simply one minute Being, rather than creation itself).
Now, when you assume that you then make a decision and that
decision "sticks," and from the result and standpoint of seeing
yourself in microcosmic terms, for instance, existing within a
reality, your question has meaning and validity. But
understanding yourself as the Creator, understanding yourself
as pure consciousness ... you are the only one there is, and so
therefore, only can any approach that you have ... "make a
difference” across the board.

More locally, when you shift your point of view, when you
shift your decision ... even others seem to change. You did not
go out and personally canvass each and every individual, and
yet you still see the reflection of the change of yourself, the

113
 Your Power on a Plate
change of the expression of who you are in them, yes? And so
therefore, changing yourself - changes it all!

And that is the most accurate answer I can give.

Q- Now, I can see...

Elan- Now if you wish to argue with me, by all means, do.

Q- I can see an impact of being who I am, moment to

moment, and the results encouraging that has. For example ...
three people are here tonight, coming from quite a distance, in
a sense, because of some things I've done or exposed them to
...

Elan- Well, in a sense, yes ...

Q- I feel really good about that.

Elan- Alright.

Q- And the people I associate with day to day ... I feel I'm
having a beneficial impact on them.

Elan- Alright ... are you dissatisfied with the pure

numbers involved?

Q- I'd like to see bigger numbers.

Elan- Alright, then expand your definition and

understand, when you change your approach and decision ...
everything changes ... and you need not "corral many monkeys.”
Do you understand conceptually what I am saying?

Q- I guess being "a double Leo," I'd like to get on stage

and talk to a lot of people about the things I believe ... rather than
just one at a time.

114
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- Well, by all means do. But this happens anyway.
And again, saying, "only one of six billion," is a very specific
decision, yes?

Q- Yeah, that's ... minimal.

Elan- And with that particular decision, the resulting

sentiment can be ... seeming overwhelmed, "I can't possibly
make an impact.”

But the idea is that your impact is automatic and again,

you are not responsible for the other six billion and only are you
responsible for yourself. When you fully be responsible for
yourself ... and purposefully be the best most authentic version
of yourself, then you are being responsible to the rest and that is
what makes the impact, whether they are specifically aware of
you as an individual or not.

For a change in anything is a change in everything. Again,

it is all in your point of view. We have used the analogy of a cube
with all the same-colored sides. If you change the color of any
one side ... you then have the choice of seeing that it is the same
old cube with a slight "facelift" ... or it is a completely different
cube. And that particular slight shift in your approach gives a
completely different effect. One way to look at it, same old cube,
"so what, big deal.” Another way is to see it as a joyous
completely new cube to explore.

Q- Well, you've always said that the best, most effective

teacher we can be is our own example and my effort is to be the
best me that I'm smart enough to be, given my spiritual belief
system. So, I'll just keep doin' that.

Elan- Alright. No effort need be involved to be who you

are. Where the effort comes in, where the resistance comes in,

115
 Your Power on a Plate
where the friction comes in ... is in resisting who you are. So, no
need to try. As you say, just do it. It is that simple.

Q- I seek joy, no pain, so I guess that's consistent with

what you said.

Elan- Alright. Perhaps, again, "no pain" and "pain" are

very similar. Simply you can say instead, "I am well" ... rather
than, "I am not in pain.” … and you will be emphasizing wellness
rather than de-emphasizing pain, which is the same thing as still
focusing on pain.

116
 Your Power on a Plate
DECISION
A CONCEPT THAT CREATES A VIBRATION
(And that takes care of it all.)

Q- I want to ask you about “becoming” the vibration of

what you wish to be, which you know is going to be some time in
the future. I know it's talking about the future, but still...

Elan- Alright, “becoming" versus "being," do proceed.

Q- Somehow the timing is not there yet, but I’m thinking

...

Elan- That, by the way, is an assumption. It may be

based on whatever evidence you gather ... but, should you
decide the timing is always ... right now. So, understanding this,
by all means you can continue to put out in front of you to
become something, but what I am sharing and part of the point
of this interaction is to understand that you are deciding that,
and you are building that particular condition into your decision.
Do proceed.

Q- Ah, can you say more about how to be that vibration?

Elan- Deciding is being that vibration. There are different

ways to word the idea of "decision.” One of them is simply that
you always, at any given moment, based on whatever criteria
you use (every right now) commit to who you are. You make a
commitment, "I am this person" ... that is being the vibration,
100% and completely in that moment, in that right now moment.
When you decide ... "I am ______” (and fill in that blank) you are
that vibration, right then and there.

Often individuals will build into their decision, as you

have said, the idea of "becoming" and then you are the vibration
of "becoming" ... or the vibration of creating yourself toward

117
 Your Power on a Plate
being that person on a gradient, versus ... the vibration of
"being”, now.

The question you ask is an excellent question because

it allows us, in no uncertain terms, to define that making the
decision is being that person and therefore expressing that
vibration right now, in this moment. What you do from this point
forward (and again, we're playing with language, it is always right
now ... but for the purposes of simply illustrating on a line in the
“successive” now) the decision that you "then" make will either
support the idea that you are already that vibration ... or it will
support the idea that you are one step closer toward being that
vibration ... or you can even create it to simply seem to cancel
and stamp out that vibration altogether.

This is why we say that you create essentially in three

steps ...

1. Decision

2. Trusting the decision (and another way to word that

is "maintenance”) maintaining the commitment to that
decision, and

3. Action. If you understand that when you decide you

are something, you are that vibration ... you are that person,
because you have established yourself as that vibration. You
then act as that person, and this is the most visible signal that
you are truly that person now.

Trusting that decision is simply a matter of occasionally,

when, and where appropriate and necessary, reminding
yourself of that decision in its full potency, in its full, committed
form. And of course, action is the physical output that you
express as that vibration, or person.

Does that make sense?

118
 Your Power on a Plate
Q- Yes. So, if I use some specific examples ... like either
moving in a particular house, or getting a job ... or doing
something in your life that you want to do and you're not there
yet, other circumstances are not ... have not "fallen in place" yet
... and you already are of that vibration ... then the things start
moving faster, because you are already at that vibration?

Elan- Absolutely and you, with very wide eyes, are then
"on the lookout" for the opportunities that are already available,
that are present, that would seem to physically create the
conducive circumstances that would then produce physical
results. Everything begins first in consciousness.

When there is the idea of physical events to play out ... it

always begins with the commitment in consciousness ... then
your reality "positions itself' in such a way whereby your
circumstances are either on a straight line (one thing at a time)
or you express your decision of being that person to whatever
degree is available in that given moment. Does that make
sense?

Q- Yes.

Elan- So therefore, when you make the decision, "I am

feeling the understanding within myself that it is time to
physically relocate," that starts as a decision, as a concept that
creates a vibration that attracts circumstances into right now …
that allow for the conducive seeming transition, again, toward
the idea of "the physical move." But it begins with the
foundational establishment of the vibration of that person.

Q- When it comes to everyday things, like making

decisions that are going to affect, okay, let's say they are moving
... you already act ... I mean not you ... but, I would already act
"as if" I'm in that place?

119
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- Well, so-to-speak, yes. You do what you would do
if you completely accept yourself as that Being, which takes into
consideration, "now that I am this new being ... I am this new
Being in these particular circumstances, so from what is
available in these circumstances, this new Being that I now am,
would do this" and you are being ... and then acting as - being
that new person.

Which then, again, creates, again, the seemingly

"shortest path" physically in the direction that you say you seek.
Again, we are bumping up against what you call "limitations of
language”, but is this clear?

Q- Yes, but how about limitations of our reality at this

point?

Elan- That is a conception and part of the decision-

making process. There are no limitations toward “being who you
are,” other than the ones that you build into your decision. In
other words, individuals will sometimes say, “Well, Elan where
you are, what you are saying is easy, but down here, it is not so
practical.”

To which I will reply, "Well, that is the difference in the

decisions we are making.” If I were “down there.” ... I would not
choose to see it that way and therefore I would still get the same
results that I get in my society ... upon your planet. And I know
this to be so, for I have, again, lived "a past life" on your planet ...
where I have seen in absolute application that this works.

Q- So, if you are familiar with my situation, can you give

me any advice, for me ... specifically for me?

Elan- Loosen up on the specifics and simply understand

that what you desire is to create a more "conducive
atmosphere" to express yourself without needing it to rigidly be

120
 Your Power on a Plate
in any particular place. If you insist that it be a particular place it
can actually take longer. If you loosen up and allow you to
deliver to yourself, perhaps through an unexpected avenue,
simply something that will fulfill the atmosphere of the idea that
you are choosing to create to support the new decision of who
you are ... you will find that loosening up will open up new
opportunities and new ideas that were not available to you,
heretofore. I am specifically and purposefully being general.

Q- So, I'll decide to be surprised.

Elan- Alright, but the idea is to maintain your resolve, in

deciding that, "I am a person who creates the conducive
atmosphere to fully express myself" and that takes care of it all
... what you call your “house" and your "car.” And the final key,
the final piece that will direct you toward the totally new set of
outer circumstances and opportunities, is to follow what excites
you the most from what IS available right now, and act upon it
fully, with integrity now. Then you will create the next
steppingstone, the next breadcrumb to follow.

Q- Thank you very much Elan, I appreciate it.

Elan- I thank you as well.

(You are already expressing your power right now.)

Allow me to thank you all for your willingness to

synchronize your time stream to our own. For understand, in no
uncertain terms though right now, you create the idea that I am
doing it all in these exchanges with you ... I do not call this a "co-

For this gift that you give us ... I thank you.

Chapter Four

Sharing

Allow me to proceed in the following way...

We have discussed many things over the many so-called

years of our interactions. Most recently we have been in the
process of simplification or simplifying many of the things we
have discussed with you about your lives, about our lives, about
our “co-created” interactions and about many of the things that
we share with you and your civilization.

I remind you ... that anything that we do share, you

already contain, and therefore any inspiration that you derive
from either our source, our stream of consciousness or from any
source that you perceive to be external to yourself in your own
reality … that you already contain all the knowledge, you already
contain all the resources, and simply these particular timings
whereby you become aware of information that seems to inspire
you, seems to ... set off a spark within you is simply the timing of
123
 Your Power on a Plate
your willingness to express more of who you already are. And
therefore, you can either lament in your timing or you can revel
in your timing. And understand that reveling is far more
purposeful than perhaps you have been taught in your
civilization.

Therefore, when you become aware of something, it is

simply the external reflection ... from yourself to yourself, of
something which you already knew, but are now ready to
express in your reality. Therefore, as always, we take no credit
for anything that you feel that you may gain from these
interactions in that we are simply a mirror, you remain the
originating source of light.

And therefore, although we enjoy these interactions and

get as much out of them from our end as you do, we remind you
that it is all you.

We have discussed, and again simplified many of the

concepts that we talk about with members of your society,
down to the idea of deciding in each and every moment who you
are, trusting by maintaining that decision, and then acting as
though you trust that decision.

This is the mechanism through which you already create

your own reality and therefore this is nothing new ... nothing new
to learn with no new "muscles" to develop. You already contain
this approach and do it flawlessly. It is simply a matter of shifting
your purposefulness ... shifting your approach ... shifting your
focus and beginning to factor in the idea of desire and
preference, for you deserve to live the life that you desire and
prefer. And at the same time factoring in your desire and
preference can be a productive feature in your reality.

We also have discussed that always you do create

entirely ... in the right now. Right now is the only experiential
124
 Your Power on a Plate
moment that exists. And although you will play the game of a
seeming succession of nows (one ... after ... the ... other) it is all
truly, most accurately speaking, the same one now moment
which you roll out in front of yourself to experience it in a linear
way.

Because it is always right now ... you always have all your

A CLOAKING DEVICE
ONE MORE TEST
(To see if I really do deserve.)

Q- I have ... I made a decision about a week ago or more

... had to do with Christmas ... and I purchased an item, a cloak
for my friend, and I did it over the phone to a person far away and
I never even saw the cloak ... I just purchased it over the phone.

Elan- Alright, "remote control" cloak. Do proceed.

Q- Now this cloak has not arrived, and I've become quite
concerned.

Elan- AH! ... not trusting your cloak. Proceed.

Q- Right, right. Driving here I was listening to “Trusting

the Decision”, and I did, I went through the so called "process,"
if you want to call it that, of ... that I did make the decision and
said to myself, "what's wrong with this situation? “Because
maybe it's one more test that I have created for myself to see if I
really do deserve.

Elan- Well, it's all well and good, and by all means, test
yourself if you feel the need ... but you need not continually play
out your reality in such a way where you are not committed in
your decision and feel the need to "test" it in order to establish
your decision. Simply, perhaps utilizing the physical features of
this particular circumstance, perhaps a phone call would be in
order, “I'm checking on my cloak.” That would be the action that
trusts the decision of buying the cloak in the first place and then
having it occur to you, “am wondering whether or not I did the
right thing.”

Q- Today I made the calls, and I knew that when I

purchased it the lady said she works out of her home ... she's a
crafts person, it's not a store or a business and she had
126
 Your Power on a Plate
physically moved to Florida. So, today I took the action of calling
Florida to try to find her and I still haven't found her ... I tried
doing that.

Elan- Alright ... when you are through trying, simply find
her.

Q- I ... I ... that's it ... I've taken that action, now I think it's
my fear that I'm creating some fear that it's not going to arrive in
time and that I'm wondering where it is, and maybe I got "ripped
off" and all these terrible negative things.

Elan- Now, it is not my perception that this is the case,

but you can "play around" with what comes up for you with that
supposition and look at what you are truly deciding, should you
choose to continue to test yourself in such a way.

Q- I've decided that I deserve this great gift, I need this,

so what ...

Elan- May I ask you a question?

Q- Yes.

Elan- What is it you wish to "cloak?"

Q – My girlfriend.

Elan- Ah, perhaps there is another issue here? Simply

toying with the language. Proceed.

Q- Okay ... so you ... no ... absolutely ... so you think that
perhaps if I look at that issue if there is one to ... that'll help to
manifest?

Elan- Actually, no ... I was kidding.

Q- Okay. In a "short and sweet" way I want to move this

along and I want to transform it, right now.
127
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- Alright, you just have ... now do you trust that?

Q- I trust that I do ...

Elan- Do you understand that you do not need to test

yourself, for that is, if you wish to "nail it down" the issue, feeling
the idea that your decision does not completely stick and your
decision must be tested in order to, again, commit to the
continued establishment of that decision. "I deserve ... or I do
not deserve" is a decision ... it is not a judgment placed against
you from an external source Perhaps, again, I can turn this
around and simply ask you ... do you deserve?

Q- Yes!

Elan- Alright, you have decided that you do. It is no

longer an issue. Trust as though that decision has stuck
because it has, unless you change it, in which case it really did
stick now and only when you change it, does the new
unpreferred decision stick.

Q- Alright.

Elan- And again, another way to word the idea "trusting

the decision," is to simply "take for granted" (with absolutely no
movement or vacillation) that it has stuck, that the decision is
registered.

Q- Okay.

Elan- Now, do you feel in your interactions with others,

that your integrity is fully present? Was someone to, for
instance, order a product from you, would you send that
product out on the agreed upon time frame?

Q- Absolutely.

Elan- Alright.

128
 Your Power on a Plate
Q- Interesting that you asked that, but absolutely.

Elan- Well, thank you ... you deserve nothing less.

Q- That's not the issue ... I don't think ...

Elan- Alright.

Q- I ... I kinda sense the woman wasn't quite coming

from integrity when I spoke to her.

Elan- In what way?

Q- Well, my sensing when I first spoke to her on the

phone, was a little bit of chaos and kind of a person who has a
lot going on in her life.

Elan- Alright, now is that "out of integrity" or is that

simply confusion and a lack of organization?

Q- Yes, that.

Elan- Alright.

Q- Okay, okay.

Elan- Now, what will you do?

Q- I've made the decision ... it's coming.

Elan- Alright.

Q- Now each day ... I won't "future.”.. but each day that
it does not arrive in the mail, I will align myself to this...

Elan- When is it that you will not "future?" For you are
doing so right now.

Q- Interesting ... it's just a great way ... just to tell you
what I'm going to do.

129
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- Understood, you cannot "get away" with that
around here, unless of course I say you can.

Q- That's it, I've made the decision, that's all I can do and
that's what I was asking about.

Elan- Alright, then enjoy the wrapping as well as the gift.

Q- I will, I can't wait till it comes ... I will...

Elan- If you say so, apparently you will wait till it comes.
But I understand what you mean.

Q- Do you have "cloaking devices," by the way?

Elan- No, we are not , in that sense hiding from anything,

and our relationship with physical reality is quite different from
yours. Our ability to simply relocate instantaneously and
spontaneously no longer necessitates the idea, needing to be
"invisible.” I suppose were I to get completely accurate, it is an
ability that we can express ... invisibility ... but we have no
reason to do so, perhaps unless we're playing around. By the
way, an interesting idea ... invisibility ... I think I'll do that later ...
perhaps it will take the form of something like sampling
invisibility and then ... Boo!

Q- Okay... That went over my head.

Elan- Not really.

Q- I'd like to stop talking right now.

Elan- By all means.

Q- I just made that decision.

Elan- Thank you for your willingness to express yourself.

DIS-EASE
A FOUNDATIONAL UNDERSTANDING
(The doctor told him, “You should have been dead twice.”)

Q- I have a question about healing.

Elan- Alright, proceed ... so do others.

Q- I believe that everything is possible. I believe that in

practicality, most things are possible. I believe that there are
spontaneous healings.

But in my experience, I've found that where people have

had spontaneous healings or great assistance, in many cases ...
I won't say most, I won't even say many, but in some cases, they
re-manifest the problem to an even more serious degree and I'm
wondering if there is any rule ... belief system ... energy that
creates that effect?

Elan- The idea is that what you generally refer to as “dis-

ease” represents issues individuals have been unwilling to
acknowledge within themselves to the point where they become
overwhelmingly clamorous and demand an individual's
attention.

In general, there are core ideas and then subsidiary

ideas around them. Individuals can sometimes be addressing
only the subsidiary ideas and if the core idea is not
acknowledged and a decision is not made regarding the
revelation that comes from, in that way, exploring the core issue
(the main idea) then you can have the effect that you have
described ... as the “dis-ease” seeming to return.

If you look at the core issue ... “what is this situation

forcing me to look at, that I would not have looked at without it?"
and then look at that and then make new decisions,
understanding that those core issues simply were decisions in
131
 Your Power on a Plate
and of themselves, and the quote, unquote, "spontaneous
healing" (which is simply the re-establishment of equilibrium,
physically) will be, as you say, more permanent.

Q- So, it goes back to getting the message, again ...

Elan- It goes back to the idea of foundational

understanding versus putting on a “Band-Aid.”

Q- Um, one person in particular, perhaps you can give

me some information on him, his name is ***. He knocked
cancer flat in a short period of time, it has been ... he went about
a year or more without any indication. The doctor told him, “You
should have been dead twice", but he was doing perfectly. Then
he developed cancer in many areas simultaneously. I would be
curious, if I'm allowed that information, to know what message
he needs.

Elan- The allowance would come from him and in that

sense, perhaps him asking the question would allow me to have
access to specific information that is not available to me now.

But again, in a general way, the idea is that there are

certain issues that he did look at and other issues surrounding
them, more core, that he did not address. He can address them
at any given moment. He can re-establish his new decision and
he can have the same complete spontaneous healing effect,
once again.

Q- Would just wanting to "go home" be an adequate

reason to manifest something like that?

Elan- "Going home.” ... meaning what?

Q- "Expiring.” ... 'dying.” ... whatever semantics you use.

Elan- Understand that my particular perspective is that

you are “home" itself, and there is nowhere to go to that is any
132
 Your Power on a Plate
more you than where you are right now. So, in the way that you
phrase the question, my particular response would be "no.” It is
more of an escape, perhaps, than the idea of going home to
more of himself. Do you understand where that element is
present?

Q- Yes, I do.

Elan- Alright, that is, by the way, one of the very common
core issues, what you would call the notion, the idea that
somehow death would liberate one from themselves, which is
somewhat of a paradox from my point of view, because
anywhere you are, is you ... and anywhere you've been, is you ...
anywhere you're going, is you. So ultimately, one place to the
other, for the purpose of going toward yourself is simply
constantly being yourself the entire time and perhaps simply not
acknowledging it. Does that make sense?

Q- Yes.

Elan- Alright, now can you tell me, understanding that

individual, what your intuitive perception is of the core issue ...
as it is evident to you?

Q- Since I don't know him well, it would have to be

intuitive. Um ... I think he still has a feeling of that ... “that's the
way it is" syndrome, that even though he got his healing, his
miraculous healing, I'm not sure that he can believe it.

Elan- Alright, well, do understand that a fluctuating

belief ... is simply a fluctuating decision. And the idea of having
a belief carries the assumption that either you have the belief, or
you don't have the belief ... and if you have it and it's not
constructive, you have to "get rid of it" and get a new belief that
is constructive. That particular interpretation, and then the
decisions that correspond from that interpretation, are rather

133
 Your Power on a Plate
limiting, and, in a sense, constantly have individuals running
from one idea ... going to a “better" idea...needing to get
something that they don't already have.

You Contain All Beliefs

And what we remind you of, when speaking to you is that
you always contain every belief and its reciprocal and it's simply
a matter of which one are you expressing, not which one do you
have, and you don't have the other.

So, he has the belief that he is a complete and whole

Being ... who deserves to serendipitously and joyously live his
life ... as well as any other belief that he has. When he is willing
to decide ... “This is who I am from choice, this is who I am from
decision and desire" and then trust that that decision has stuck,
everything immediately shifts to accommodate that decision.

Q- Let me approach this from a different direction. If one

does not address the core belief that is creating or bringing
about the dis-ease ... what other mechanisms can be utilized to
“de-create” the disease?

Elan- In that sense, none. Again, addressing subsidiary

beliefs can seem to "gloss over" the situation temporarily, but
again, these beliefs are not something “bestowed upon you"
that you are "stuck with," that are locked in your "subconscious"
and very difficult to get at and once you get at it, all you find out
is, what a miserable person you are, no.

That is simply one interpretation of what core beliefs

mean. Again, you contain in your core every belief and its
reciprocal. Simply understanding that you are functioning ...
that you are deciding ... that you are interpreting your reality
through a specific belief, gives you back the decision-making
power to choose something else.
134
 Your Power on a Plate
Q-. So, it's common to all healings that the person
healed would address a core belief to be successful?

Elan- On a fundamental level, yes. It can take many

different faces or forms in the way that individuals do that. For
instance, in acknowledging your totality, in deciding to be the
fullest you that you can be, that decision can replace a decision
from a disempowered belief that you have been expressing and
spontaneous healing can occur without any of the emphasis
upon the idea of "sickness and wellness.”

Q- And without examining that belief specifically, also?

It would just be more of an empowerment?

Elan- In a sense, by choosing its reciprocal you do

examine the idea of the existence of the belief ... but you do not
empower the belief. You do not act as though that belief has a
"hold" or a power that is apart from you and your power.

Q- And when someone chooses a symbol whether it's...

a church ... a medicine ... a healer ... or ... Cheerios, if they
believe that will do it for them, and they attach themselves to
that symbol saying, "now it's done," then they also empower
themselves that way?

Elan- Although I have not heard before the reference to

Cheerios, I would agree. Is this a healing substance upon your
planet?

Q- For small children ... it's a breakfast cereal.

Elan- Understood.

Q- I think that clarifies it well. Thank you.

135
 Your Power on a Plate
RELATIONSHIP
100% -100%
("Both sides of the coin are pretty close together.”)

Q- I have a dilemma, or at least what appears to be a

contradiction.

Elan- Ah, alright. Congratulations, proceed.

Q- Take the idea, of course, that we create our own

reality 100% ... okay, and then compare that with ... that in a
relationship with another person, we are co-creating and
therefore I say, "Well gee, no longer am I 100% in control of that
relationship.”

Elan- Well, interestingly enough, this is how most of you

interpret and decide your relationship function, and simply it is
perhaps a word play going on here. You are always 100%
responsible for your version, your interpretation, and your
output into a "relationship.” The other individual also has that
same responsibility and ability.

The co-creation, though it may appear to be a single

entity, is truly still two interpretations.

In other words, we speak of "co-creating" this

interaction with you and so there is the idea that this interaction
is one thing and then there is you beholding it and me beholding
it and all the other individuals. But truly that is not accurate. The
actual idea is that what we are calling an interaction is as many
versions of what is going on as there are individuals present,
including myself. And remarkably, this also includes any
individuals that are partaking of this interaction in any form in
the future. [including reading this book]

The co-creation is rather arbitrary, for you will have as

many descriptions of what the co-creation actually was, as
136
 Your Power on a Plate
there are individuals involved on any level. So, it all boils back
down to you being responsible for your decisions ... your reality.

By all means, being able to share 100% of who you are

with another individual, enjoy 100% of who you think ... who you
interpret ... who you decide that they are, but you do not need to
go the next step of using the idea that the co-creation is an
independent entity as an excuse to not take full responsibility for
your input and your particular role in the co-creation.

I understand that there is confusing language here ...

does this clear this up at all?

Q- Yeah, that ... I think that's very helpful, the fact that a
relationship is really not one item, there are "two sides of that
coin" because there's two people involved.

Elan- There is 100% - 100%, which is distinct from each

giving up half of who you are. Any relationship is not truly 50%-
50%, it is always 100% -100%.

Q- So then part of the challenge of marriage would be to

have both people reasonably close to seeing the same in their
desires of that relationship and that both sides of the coin are
pretty close together.

Elan- Perhaps, of the relationship, a common template

or overall idea would be most conducive, yes. But in terms of
needing to be “the same person" with the exact same interests
... that is not necessarily so.

Q- So, take the idea of eventually ... maybe ... the

ultimate goal of every one of us is to become, quote ... "One with
God.”

Elan- Well, if you say so, however, that presupposes that

you are not already "One with God" and have somewhere to get

137
 Your Power on a Plate
to that you are not already ... that you have someone to be, that
you are not already … and that is a decision. That is a
commitment to the idea of separation ... a decision in
separation ... a trust that you are separated and then acting as
though you must get somewhere, and of course when you
actually get there, you realize you were there all along because
it is all you.

Q- But if I've got "free will," then by definition ... I'm not
one with God or anybody, I'm an individual ... I’m unique.

Elan- Why do you assume that "individuality" and

"uniqueness" is not an expression of what you call "God?" It is.
Any quality that you can possess ... "All-That-Is" also has a
version of. But "you" are the same energy, fundamentally,
experiencing yourself "as if" you are not ... but only during the
time where you perpetuate the decision that "you are not.”

Q-Well, we talked that each one of us is sort of an aspect

of All-That-Is ... All-That-Is exploring how It can recreate or know
Itself to each one of us and ...

Elan- Well, in a sense, that is arbitrary language ... "All-

That-Is" already knows Itself completely, and rather than
interpreting your life as having the purpose of allowing All-That-
Is, which already knows Itself just fine ... to know Itself better,
which is impossible (It is an Infinite ... all knowing ... all seeing
Being, so-to-speak) you may understand that your choice to
explore from your point of view, is simply your choice to explore
from your point of view ... because it is an option. Exploring all
options that are available is one way to state the purpose of
physical life.

Q- But in our linear time, as we created it ... we can only

explore one path at a time, I guess.

138
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- Well, that is part of the unique advantage that you
build into the apparency of physical life, yes. But perhaps it
would behoove you to understand that you get to revel in the joy
of focusing on one thing at a time, rather than, well, this means
you have to only do one thing at a time.

Q- Maybe we're in the concepts of infinity again and I

know that in “Third Density" I'm rather limited as far as grasping
all those concepts of infinity.

Elan- You can actually grasp them to the level that you
can use them to continue your linear life with, perhaps you can
say, an Infinite foundation. You have the ability to interpret the
idea of infinity to the degree that it is useful to you.

Q- Meanwhile I'm enjoying the moment. Thank you very

much.

Elan- Oh, I thank you.

 Your Power on a Plate
KARMIC RELIEF
ON THE EDGES OF INFINITY
("What do you mean there's no past?")

Q- We have been talking about "ascension" ... I wanted

to ask you about what Jesus Christ did. I understand after the
crucifixion and actually he didn't die, but urn, he suspended the
motion, using yogic techniques ... and after that he traveled
back to India (he had lived there before, but he went back to
India) and lived there, a long life. He was an ascended Being by
that time and my understanding is, he went back and forth to
wherever he was needed. Can you tie that to our discussion we
were having?

Elan- Well, simply that is only one version of what you

call “The life of Christ.” There is the assumption that there is one
historical event and just as there are an Infinite number of
probable futures there are also an Infinite number of probable
pasts.

In one of those Infinite number of probable pasts, the

scenario that you have shared in that way, has occurred. In what
you call, perhaps the more mass agreed upon probable past,
the individual did die upon the cross and then did "symbolize"
the idea of the eternal nature of the soul by making it evident that
though the body had died the soul lived on. That is the most
literal interpretation from my perspective.

In terms of the history that you are sharing, whereby that

individual would act as an ascended master, perhaps it would
be an example of an assistive Being who resided, perhaps you
can say, mainly in the nonphysical and became physical for
specific purposes.

Now, not to be confusing, but again, when you assume

one objective past, then our discussion cannot take on the
140
 Your Power on a Plate
multifaceted meaning that reality actually expresses. Does this
answer the question?

Q- So, the book, the well-known book, the ... "Jesus

Lived in India," that's the title of the book ... according to the
author, and he has done a lot of research, there's a tomb of
Jesus in India, in Kashmir, India and a lot of evidence that he was
there, he lived there.

So, according to your understanding that's someone

else ... or that's not true or...

Elan- From, again, my perspective, in the most accurate

way to state this, in one Infinite probable past, that is the case.
But again, you're asking the question assuming there is one past
only, and from the idea of the one past only, I cannot accurately
answer your question other than to say, that is not the mass
agreed upon the past. However, from the perspective of
individuals who manifest that as their past, it is accurate. Is this
translating?

Q- So what happens to all the evidence ... it, ah...?

Elan- As you know quite well, evidence is very arbitrary.

What one person uses as evidence for something ... another
individual can completely use as evidence against the very
same thing ... and it is simply a matter of the fact that believing
is seeing and not the other way around.

When you establish and essentially this means decide,

"I believe this" you then draw all the evidence to prove to you that
that is so, so does everyone else, evidence is arbitrary. I
understand, perhaps to some what I am saying is unsettling.
Many might ask, “what do you mean there's no objective past?
My whole foundation is set up on an objective past. What am I
gonna do ... I'm falling apart.” But the idea is ... there is a

141
 Your Power on a Plate
liberation in the now moment, from discovering the
understanding that the past is variable. As you shift who you are
right now, the past that completely supports that decision,
becomes your past and therefore "the past" is no longer a "ball
and chain", it is simply "the icing on the cake.”

Q- I would like to make a comment, a statement ... that

I see a lot of interaction on Prodigy, for instance (the online
service) ... a lot of people are realizing that the Bible was not
accurate and was changed a lot and information was added ...

Elan- Now, before you proceed, to use this as an

example ... many people, as you have said, do entertain the idea
you are sharing, and they find whatever evidence they look for to
prove, “it has been altered.” There are, perhaps you can say, just
as many, or more accurately from my perception, more
individuals who take it, pun intended ... "as gospel" and
therefore will find the evidence as to why it is precisely, literally,
true.

The paradox is that both are correct and arguing one

choice versus another choice ... truly cannot yield any resolve.
It is simply a matter of being willing to make the choice of who
you are ... who your past is.

And if you are willing to validate the past of the other as

being accurate and relevant for them ... you still get the
supportive feature from the chosen past that you have, for you
will acknowledge, no matter what happened (were there even a
singular event, no matter what happened) each and every one of
you function from your interpretation of what you think
happened.

You act as though that happened and how you live right
now is absolutely an example that this did happen for you, in

142
 Your Power on a Plate
your history ... and so you get the effect of it having happened ...
whether or not it even happened.

Now again, where this gets more complex, is that there

is also no one singular event. But this again, is getting on to the
edges of infinity and for now I will refrain. Is there something
else?

Q- Yes, I would like to ask something, please. If you can

comment on how we are going to, I'll use the words … “drop the
karma" of when and how are we ever going to come to the point
where we're going to say, "that's it, whatever I owe you, whatever
you owe me ... that's it, the balance is zero" ... and when and how
are we going to do that?

Elan- Simply by deciding ... simply by understanding that

you are perpetuating that notion that you call “karma.” What you
call "karma" is an interpretation of what karma means and an
imposition upon yourself ... of that interpretation.

If you interpret your reality as being the product of

Karmic debt ... then you will, in that sense, position your reality
to pay back the debt. If you simply understand that karma is
balance, and that balance is instantaneous and that right now
you are already completely in equilibrium ... then you have done
what you are asking ... instantaneously.

So, you can instantaneously decide that, and proceed

debt free, or you can linger on and pay back your debt ... or any
gradient in between.

Q- I understand what you're saying. My question is how

is everyone going to understand it? How is the world going to ...

Elan- Well, again, to be quite succinct, it is "none of your

business" what anyone else decides.

143
 Your Power on a Plate
Q- But I have decided that it is my business.

Elan- Oh, very clever! Then perhaps your "job" may feel
like it is never done, for what you are deciding is to take
responsibility for the decisions of others. Now, if you are willing
to take responsibility for your own decision ... being a living
example of your own decision, you will attract whatever others
are inspired by that decision and in that sense, have the effect
that you are sharing. But never can you, in that sense, affect
individuals who make different choices, other than them looking
at you and saying, "That's nonsense.”

So, perhaps if that is your decision ... you are taking on a

monumental task and think again of the balance necessary for
that. If you live in equilibrium, understanding that there is no
karmic excuse for who you are right now, that you simply are
who you are, right now ... others will notice and those will be the
individuals who will benefit most because it is their timing to
reflect back to themselves what they're already willing to
entertain and what you are a physical, blatant living example of
... that is the mechanism.

Does that make sense?

Q- Yes, I understand what you are saying ... be an

example, that's what you're saying.

Elan- Well, if you wish to impact others ... but convincing

others, making them see, doing it for them ... all these are fancy
words for taking responsibility for them. You can only be
responsible to them and for yourself. And also remember that
when you are looking to convince others of something, it
generally means that you don’t entirely believe it yourself and
you are actually looking to convince yourself.

144
 Your Power on a Plate
Q- Right, I wasn't talking about taking their
responsibility, but just spreading the word, that's all, just talking
about the idea, because a lot of people have never thought
about this.

Elan- Understood and by all means, your attraction to

the subject allows you to be a proponent of the subject. When
you are living the example of the realizations that you have had,
individuals willing to do so will benefit by seeing you as an
example, more than hearing you say something that your life is
not an example of. So, by all means, be at equilibrium right now,
that is a decision, "I am at equilibrium.” Then, yes, there will still
be balance ... whatever vibration you are being, in any given
moment, will be the reality you experience. But it will not be the
result of something that you have to "pay back" that is not
relevant to your NOW moment experience.

Q- Thank you.

Elan- Oh, I have done nothing, it's always you.

COMMITMENT AND CONFUSION
OUR TENDENCY TO VACILLATE
(Sometimes babbling in the corner can be very expressive!)

Q- My sense is tonight there's been a theme pervading

throughout most everything that's been talked about and that is
our tendency to vacillate between decisions and staying with
them...

Elan- Alright, that is one interpretation of the theme. Do

proceed.

Q- Why do we have ... why do we as humans have that

tendency ... I mean, we clearly understand what it is you're
saying to us about ...

1. Making decision

2. Trusting the decisions

3. and acting like we trust the decisions.

Elan- It simply has to do with what you call commitment
... the willingness to "stay of the mind" of who you know you are
for generally a very short consecutive time frame. You still have
the tendency to express the idea that "seeing is believing", and
so, though you may choose to express a particular empowered
decision ... you will not trust that decision to the degree that you
feel that it is challenged by what you are interpreting as
"evidence of the contrary.” And when you feel "here is evidence
that my decision hasn't stuck, my decision must not have
stuck," you now make a new decision, "This evidence proves
and helps me re-establish my decision.”

There is the vacillation ... interpreting certain

phenomenon, after making the new decision about who you are,
through the lens of an old decision and not the new one. And
146
 Your Power on a Plate
simply understanding this, simply "coming to terms" with it,
hearing it in this language, is all it takes to decide something
else, to allow yourself to remain steadfast, to understand that
trusting the decision is maintenance of the decision, is
willingness, sometimes, to re-commit to it. If you allow a
circumstance in your reality to "talk you out of" your new
decision ... you are not displaying commitment to the decision,
yes?

Q- Yes, no, you're absolutely right.

Elan- Now, what will you do ... not using anyone else and
their experience as evidence, what will you do?

Q- Totally commit to the decision.

Elan- Alright ... then there will be no "vacillation.”

Q- But I hear everyone, and I know I do that ... I slip and I

hear everyone else doing that.

Elan- Well, there is your evidence that you are using to

vacillate upon, "everyone else" etc. Be the first.

Now you won't be vacillating and when you make a

decision and commit and "stick to" that decision consecutively
enough ... you actually begin to see the outer circumstances
representing the new decision.

Then you will begin to see all the others that have already
done so. And then you will say, "Well, everyone now does this,
all at the same time, how amazing!" In reality, you have changed
your own vibration and only then will you see the reflection of the
change externally. But do you understand the concept?

Q- Yeah, I do, because I've experienced that ... so I know

exactly what you're saying. But I'm not saying I do it all the time
... 100% perfectly.
147
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- Alright, perhaps you will build that into your
decision.

Q- Ah, you know tonight, I'm more confused than I've

been in such a long time.

Elan- Oh, how exciting! “Co- fusing” is simply pulling

yourself apart, looking at all the pieces ... and putting yourself
back together according to preference. What is the nature or
fulcrum of what you are calling your "confusion?"

Q- I guess tonight I stepped into a place and realized the

multiplicity ... I mean the actual multiplicity of all that we have
unfolded before us and ...

Elan- Alright.

Q- It makes me feel like I’m going to go over and stand in

a corner and go” bubububububbubbu” (using index finger to
make a razzberry sound with the lips) ...... you know, it's like I
don't even know what to think ...

Elan- Oh, what a fascinating decision.

The idea of sharing with you the infinity, the multiplicity

of expressions is not intended in any way to confuse or
overwhelm you, simply to allow you to realize there really is
nothing effortful to do, that ... it is a matter of simply midwifing
what you want.

If you look at it that way ... “well, 'who I am' already

exists, there's nothing to become ... there's nothing to do, the
perspective 'I do not like myself' already exists as well ... but I get
to choose between them, therefore it is not overwhelming ... it is
more options.” Choose away!

Generally speaking, it is not “making a decision” which

is confusing, it is withholding a decision (which is a decision, in
148
 Your Power on a Plate
and of itself). This is why it comes back down to commitment
and persistence. If you are not committed to your decision ...
yes, you can feel confusion and overwhelmed. If you are
committed to your decision everything that the Universe
requires to allow your decision to be manifest already exists ...
and there is your power.

Does that help? Or are you still confused?

Q- urn, ah, hm ... not at the moment.

Elan- Are you still having the tendency to make that

FUNNY SOUND?

Q- No, no.

Elan- And by the way, it is not my sensing that making

that sound is, in a sense, an unconstructive act. Sometimes,
simply ... "babbling in the corner" can be very expressive. So, by
all means, should you feel the urge, as you say ... Go For it!

Q- Alright.

Elan- And perhaps I will also experiment this evening of

my time, after my invisibility, with a little bit of that ... finger idea
(referring to using the finger to make the bubububu sound on the
lips). [audience laughter]

Q- Thank you.

Elan- Thank yourself!

TEL-EMPATHICALLY CONNECTED
EXPERIENCE BY PROXY
(You are all more connected than perhaps you realize.)

Q- Just to, ah, change the subject, can you tell us where
you are and who you're with and what's happening there ... there
where you are?

Elan- Alright. Presently, I am upon my scout craft

orbiting around my home world. I am, as you would say ... alone
on the ship.

Q- You channel alone also, sometimes?

Elan- From time to time depending upon my purposes

because we are all telempathically connected. The experience
of one can be "tapped into" by as many individuals as wish to
benefit by that experience ... although there is still, perhaps you
can say (arbitrarily say) no substitute for physical, personal
experience, there is still this idea of “experience by proxy.”

Q- Once in a while you describe a new civilization that

you have come across. Can you say something tonight,
something interesting that you recently found or something that
we could relate to or learn from ... gain from?

Elan- Well, not so much, as I am very enthused about the

idea of trying this invisibility thing out on many different
civilizations.

We learn much from these interactions and you would

be surprised because you generally consider yourselves to be
isolated in the Universe ... you would be surprised at how much
impact you actually have on many other civilizations.

For if we become aware of an idea, perhaps you can say

... it finds its way "down the line" and so other individuals, other
150
 Your Power on a Plate
civilizations can benefit from something that we discover from
your civilization. And in this way, you are all more "in touch” than
perhaps you realize.

In terms of describing a specific civilization that we have

not before, nothing comes to mind. I am still interacting, loosely
speaking, with certain energetic Beings that have symbolic
representational communications. Other than that, I have been
very involved in my own home world as of late.

Q- Are you still making the sculptures with light?

Elan- Not so much lately, but it can be a spontaneous

emission at any given time.

Q- So, you have cultivated new hobbies lately?

Elan- I am very busy, out and about, doing many things.

The idea of “hobby" does not translate quite the same way into
our sociology as to your own. There may be the idea of things
that we wind up doing sychronistically, "again" or seemingly
similar things that we do a similar version of ... but in terms of
truly labeling them "habitual" ... "ritual" ... "hobby" ... it is not
quite accurate.

That is an interest of mine, what you call spontaneous

emission and again, from time to time, I will do so.

Q- Ah, lastly, can you teach us a new word tonight?

Elan- This is a loose translation, many of our words will

not, in that sense, translate to your language.

Alright, as I am now being called by other individuals in

my society and this interaction is about to end ... I will leave you
with a word, "Ahchand.” "Ahchand," generally speaking, alright
one way to interpret it is, "wait up, I’m coming,” in a sense, very
loosely. I'm being very liberal with the language. I thank you for
151
 Your Power on a Plate
the opportunity to share this and allow me to simply say the
following to all of you, “Ha-a tu”

152
 Your Power on a Plate
WILLINGNESS TO COMMIT TO YOUR DECISION
THE THEME OF ALL THESE INTERACTIONS
(There is no physical barrier to instantaneous transformation.)

The theme in all of these interactions is that you are now

to the point beyond which you are simply entertaining and are
participating in the creation of your life. You are creating your
life.

You do still continue to some degree to shift your

decision and not be committed to your preferred decision and
so there is still the apparency of random occurrence.

But if you are willing to commit to that decision, if you

are simply willing to understand that you are expressing
“deserve-ability” by committing and refusing to swerve from it in
any way ... all the principles that we share with you are
combined into one fulcrum idea:

1. Decide who you are (you already do, no matter what

allow that decision to be only conscious)

2. Trust that decision (no matter what the decision is ...

you trust it), and:

3. Act as though you trust it. And that action seems to

put into effect a series of events which support the decision.

When you shift the decision, the entire reality shifts to a

reality that also already exists. So, there is no physical barrier to
instant transformation. You are simply shifting, a little bit to the
left, little bit to the right and that does not take effort.

Allow yourself to get in touch with who you prefer to be.

Phrase it into your decision ... commit to that decision. Do not
let any particular circumstance in your reality "talk you out" of
that decision (unless you wish to explore what it is like to talk
153
 Your Power on a Plate
yourself out of a decision). Make another decision, get the
results of that ... eventually aligning yourself back with the
preferred you.

It is not very difficult to know who you desire to be.

Simply ask yourself and trust the answer. No one knows you as
well as you know yourself. So, the theme would be, to be willing
to commit. In a sense, you have allowed yourself heretofore to
be committed to vacillation, therefore ... take that same
strength of commitment and simply decide (as you will anyway)
to apply it in the direction of your preference.

Things stand out in your reality as being preferable to you

... exciting to you … because that is your indication that doing
that thing is who you are in that moment. Your willingness to
trust who you are, allows you to reinforce your decision.

Only you know who you are. Just because "everyone

does this or everyone does that," means nothing ... unless you
are defining that "who you are" is dependent on what "everyone
else" says and does. Still a decision ... still a commitment. But
only you know you ... completely.

Other individuals only create their version of you that will

suit their purposes for their exploration in their timing ... and that
will generally be irrespective of your own definition of who you
are, though often they can be similar. Your definition of who you
are can be similar to someone's definition of who you are ... but,
you know you the best.

Trust who you are. Decide now to be that person

consciously. Understand that conscious decision replaces
random result and enjoy.

I thank you for your willingness to co-create this

interaction with me this evening of your time.

154
 Your Power on a Plate
I understand that the idea of “infinity" can become
overwhelming, but it can also be interpreted as that many more
wonderful options to choose from. Perhaps you can say, as
through your multi-hundred channel cable TV ... you get to
watch what you want.

Chapter Five

Response-Able

We have been discussing many things with members of

your society for what you call "many years" of your time and
most recently have endeavored, in that sense to simplify the
information that we share with you so that it is both accessible
and implementable or useable. Therefore, most recently, the
many concepts that we have discussed from many angles have
been broken down into but ... three simple categories.

In that sense, you, in creating your own reality in each

and every moment, always do some form of the following...

1. You MAKE A DECISION, a decision about who you are (in

any given moment). You base that decision on many
different ideas. Often individuals will, in that sense, base
that decision on external circumstances ... “I am this
person because this has occurred to me.” Often,

157
 Your Power on a Plate
individuals will base that decision on what you call
"feedback," from what you consider to be other
individuals … “I am this person because everyone tells
me so all the time, so I must be.” And most recently we
have discussed with you the option of having that
decision simply be a reflection ... a statement of who you
know and prefer yourself to be, for only you truly know
you, and the decision that you make will determine your
experience that will then seem to support the decision
that you make.
2. TRUSTING THE DECISION - Once you make that
decision in any given moment (in every given moment in
fact) you then trust that decision ... 'til you change it.
Trusting that decision can also be defined through the
idea of maintaining that decision. If you commit to the
decision and allow yourself to maintain it, you are
performing the expression of trust in the initial decision.
3. ACTION - What we also discussed is that in the way that
you create your reality, step three, is that you then take
an action in your reality.

Though you are fundamentally Infinite Beings, you are

exploring the idea you call “linear reality," which creates the
apparency of what you call “before ... during ... and after.”
When you are "playing your reality" and expressing it
through the idea of linear means ... actions that you take are the
hub, are your most visible expression that seem to create a
cascading effect ... a cascading series of what you call "causes
and effects" that then seem to create your reality physically.

Now, understand the following distinction between

what you call "actuality" and what you call "apparency.”

The actuality is the idea that you are multi-dimensional,

Infinite, and eternal Beings.
158
 Your Power on a Plate
The apparency that you create to explore yourselves in a
very finite, discreet way, is the idea that you are linear Beings:
you are born ... you live ... and you die and “that is it.”

Often, as you begin to entertain the actuality of the idea

that you are Infinite Beings, you begin to express more and more
of the Infinite potential that lies within you. Because your
approach in exploring linear reality is to explore your reality as a
seeming series of events ... you create your reality as a linear
gradient from what you call “The Infinite.” And therefore, you
generally will gauge your experience along what you call a
"gradient.”

Therefore, though the actuality is that you create your

reality one hundred per-cent in every given moment, the
apparency would seem to be that you do not have complete
control over your entire reality.

The initial porthole that allows you to begin, along the

line of the gradient, to express yourself consciously, is the idea
you call "action.” If you wish to insist that you do not have
complete control over your entire reality, you may understand
that (playing with the gradient that you create) you do have
complete control over one thing ... your action, whatever action
you take in any given moment. For the purposes of this
interaction, we will refer your action as your "response.”

You always have complete control over your response,

the action that you put out in your reality. In that sense, you
assess your reality, you make decisions about it, and then you
respond. And it is this response that you have total control over
in every given moment.

Therefore, the way that you experience this gradient

increasing of expressing yourself consciously and creating your
reality according to preference, is by first gauging your
159
 Your Power on a Plate
response, by first allowing your response to be reflective of your
conscious self-decisions by allowing your actions to reflect, to
express the preferred decision that you make about yourself.

You always do this anyway, as you say, somewhat

"automatically.” But the idea is once you become aware of how
you express your reality, once you become aware of the
methodology through which you create your own reality ... you
then allow yourself the option of doing so consciously, and
according to preference.

We have discussed in detail the idea of having the

decision that you make about who you are in every given
moment be conscious. We have discussed in detail the idea that
maintaining that decision can also be a conscious choice ...
continuing to make the decision about yourself that is
representative of who you prefer yourself to be, who you know
yourself to be, rather than what everyone says you should be
and what your reality seems to dictate you already are. And
therefore, conscious choice comes into play.

Because, again, you presently express yourself on a

gradient, you have a tendency not to automatically and
immediately transform the entire “face” of your reality in such
an instantaneous way you play with the gradient, you play with
the idea of unfurling yourself ... "a ... bit ... at ... a … time.”

Again, the apparency is that it is your ACTIONS that

create the series of events that eventually position your physical
life to be the life that you desire.

Now, as we have mentioned, you can spontaneously in

any given moment transform your entire reality completely. But
you have, again, a tendency not to do so for very specific
reasons. The reasons are to maintain the degree of focus that
you have chosen to express as a Physical Being.
160
 Your Power on a Plate
And therefore, rather than forsaking yourself because
some “portion” (as you sometimes break yourself up into)
seems to decide that you will not transform immediately, you
can still play with the idea you call your "response," for you are
always able in any given moment to gauge your response, to
choose what it is that you do.

Again, as a being that would seem to create a separation

between your perception (what you take in from your reality) and
your action or response (what you put out) in general you will go
through the following motions:

1. You will perceive your reality generally through what you

call your "senses.”
2. You will then place an interpretation upon that
perception.
3. Then, you will respond.

I do not necessarily mean the "emotional reaction" that

you create. When I say "response," I am specifically referring to
is ... you eventually do something with the information, you
eventually perform an action.

This is where your power lies if you have chosen to

create the idea of transforming on a gradient.

Now it is very easy to see whether you have chosen to

transform on a gradient or not, on what you call a "higher self"
level. Simply, if you close your eyes ... decide that everything
around you will transform and you open your eyes, and many
things still seem the "same" you can assume that you have
chosen the gradient path for now.

And you can use the path that you have chosen, rather
than forsake it, by gauging and choosing your response ... for you
are always able to respond, and you have complete control over

161
 Your Power on a Plate
your response if you are willing to acknowledge that and express
that, as opposed to have your decision be that your response
(your actions) are automatic, they're out of your control and then
place the plethora of explanations as to why your response is
"out of your control.” “It is my ego ... it is my tendency ... it is my
habits.” These are things that you create as ideas to create,
literally, an "excuse" that your response is not conscious and
purposeful. But always, if you are completely willing to
acknowledge yourself, can you understand in any given moment
that your response is COMPLETELY … up ... to ... YOU.

When you perceive an event or a circumstance and then

interpret that event or circumstance ... because you create the
apparency that the action is what it is that transforms the reality
... in a sense, you create a “buffer” so that not every single
random thought that you have becomes a reality, therefore
making your life seem like a random series of events.

By using the action as a gradient, you give yourself more

finely tuned control from the many thoughts ... the many ideas
... the many explorations that occur to you in perception to only
express ones purposefully and only have the ones that you
choose and express purposefully have a result in your life. And
this is how you gauge your actions utilizing the apparency that
your actions create your own reality.

"In actuality," as you say, thoughts are things, but the

apparency that you are using to create in a very focused way, is
that it is the action that corresponds from those thoughts that
"actually" moves the reality in a linear way.

Therefore, again, rather than forsaking yourselves

constantly, you can simply gauge your response. You are
“response - able.” You are “response – enabled”, and simply by
realizing this, that is all it takes to begin to do so. Tp respond
consciously, purposefully and constructively. So, by all means,
162
 Your Power on a Plate
you can continue to perceive your reality, you can continue to
initially interpret your reality according to habit, some of which
may be negative. But if you are willing to withhold action until
you realign to the positive decision of who you are, you give
yourself the opportunity (through that buffer of action) to only
have very specific positive results.

The idea that action creates the reality, again, is an

apparency, but it is an apparency that you create for a useful
reason. In every given moment, the actuality is that whoever you
decide you are ... you are that person. But the apparency that
you create for the purpose of focus and purposefulness is the
idea that the action that you then take will physically create ... in
the physical reality.

Therefore, that is where your power lies if you are

choosing to exist and create your reality from the gradient of
action. Thereby you give back to yourself your power. For even if
your initial assessment of a situation, interpretation of a
situation is negative, if you are willing to not immediately act
with that negative foundation, if you are willing to ... “re-mind”
yourself ... “re-align” yourself to who you know yourself to be
and then respond, only then act ... you then create the
apparency of total control of your reality (not in how the
circumstances "play out," but in how you respond).

Because one of the things that you are exploring is the

idea of ... "hiding part of yourself from all of yourself" so that you
can experience the apparency that you learn, that you grow, and
that things are unexpected ... it is part of the gradient that you
are creating that circumstances that come into your perception
will be, from time to time, unexpected. But when your actions
that arise from these circumstances are positive, are aligned to
your decision, are aligned with who you know yourself to be,

163
 Your Power on a Plate
then only can the results of those actions generate positive
physical circumstance and results.

The key is continuity and persistence in having that be an

unbroken approach, an unbroken series of actions, an unbroken
series of responses that are reflective of your positive decision
and your positive trust in that decision about who you know
yourself to be.

And therefore, if you are willing to "restrain" yourself

from acting until you are realigned flawlessly, consistently,
persistently, and all of your actions are positively aligned to your
decision, then your reality (even along the very gradient that you
are creating) transforms extremely quickly and seemingly
“miraculously," for you are now in alignment with who you say
you are. You are now expressing yourself consciously,
according to preference. Once again, you begin to do this
without “interrupting yourself," so-to-speak. (Nothing is truly an
interruption.)

But ... when you insert actions which are based on a

negative foundation, which are negative actions ... negative
interactions with other people ... negative responses to your
reality, then each of those actions will seem ... along the
gradient (the apparency that you create) to also have an effect
“down the line.”

So, the apparency, when your actions are not gauged

and consistently positive, is that things that “happen to you" are
not consistently positive. "Oh, everything is going so well" you
say. Then, the first sign of "something coming up" that would
seem to be negative, many of you, as you say (to use your
vernacular) "cave" ... you "cave in" and say, "Ah, it doesn't work",
not realizing that, that negative seeming circumstance is a
direct result to an action that you have taken, because you are
in a sense, playing along the gradient the apparency that the
164
 Your Power on a Plate
actions have a momentum, that the actions are "causal" and
"effectual.” And so therefore, again, your result becomes
scattered, random.

If you are willing to "gauge and mitigate your response,"

which means you can have any initial reaction-perception to
anything that is occurring in your reality, but simply do not act on
it ... simply remind yourself of who you are and then act … and
remain completely willing to not act at all until you realign, then
your actions will become an unbroken series of expressions ...
positive expressions of who you say you are.

And one of the rules that you create through the

“apparency gradient” of action is what you call "actions speak
louder than words.” In breaking this down and still keeping it
simple, one way to put it is that your action ... your response, in
any given moment, is the strongest expression of whichever
belief you are expressing in that moment. So, if you allow your
action to be automatically a result of a negative perception, you
are expressing in your reality, physically, a negative belief.

It is not that beliefs “happen to you," as I have reminded

you many times ... you contain all beliefs, all, the belief and its
opposite. But what determines the response ... the reaction ...
the creation in your life is which belief that you act upon. The
belief you act on, in that given moment, is telling you ... "of all
the beliefs that I contain I am expressing this one.”

Your action is a direct reflection of your strongest belief

in the moment that you are performing that action, no matter
what you say. Therefore, your ability to respond consciously,
your “response-ability” is your power, and is the simple key, the
simple fulcrum to allow you to apply the knowledge that you
have attracted up until this point in your life. More accurately,
your action is the knowledge that you already contained and are
now willing to express.
165
 Your Power on a Plate
But perhaps "the missing link.” ... "the puzzle piece.” ...
"the key" for which many of you say you search, is the idea of
being willing to withhold your response (your action) in any given
moment until you are positively aligned.

Now to give you an idea, even along the gradient of

"cause and effect" (“doing” something and getting an "effect”)
of how short a time, even within a gradient, that you can
transform your entire life visibly, is up to "three weeks" of your
time. If you wish to get visible "proof" of this idea, you can see
absolutely compelling reflections by merely being willing to be
consistently, positively aligned in your actions for a mere three
days of your time.

Therefore, many of you say ... over and over and over and
over and over and over and over and over again ... that you desire
to create the life that you prefer, that you desire to express
yourself in your reality and have an impact in your reality. The key
to doing so along the gradient (assuming that you haven't made
the decision and seen your reality miraculously change in that
moment) is this idea, of allowing your actions to only be
purposeful.

You have an expression, "count to ten.” Individuals will

sometimes use this expression to not immediately act from
impulse, as you say. Generally, impulse (by the way) can be
interpreted, one way to interpret it in the negative is to have an
“immediate reactionary response" rather than a "purposeful,
actionary response.” Another way to word this is to be proactive,
rather than reactive.

And your idea, "counting to ten” merely creates a gap,

an artificial gap, between the idea of immediate, impulsive,
negative action and the idea of re-aligning to who you are. For
generally speaking, for most of you, it can take a mere 10

166
 Your Power on a Plate
seconds or 30 seconds to realign to who you are in almost every
given situation.

Therefore, another way to look at this: just as important

as your willingness to act according to who you know yourself to
be, is your willingness to refrain from acting until your
foundational decision and trust is re-aligned to the preferred
version of you, the you prefer to be, and not the version of you
that you say may be "so undesirable." Your power on a plate,
that is it. You are always able to gauge that response. When you
exercise that ability, your ability to be response-able, you are
accessing and expressing your power as a Creator of your life.

When you begin to have your action/response be

conscious, continuous, consistent, and begin to observe a more
contiguous, positive result, you will still create the idea of the
“unexpected.” You will still create the idea of surprise. You will
still create the idea that “things come up" that perhaps were not
exactly what you had prepared for. But every single instance of
things happening unexpectedly is then interpreted by you (when
you are willing to act in this way) joyously ... You might say, "Ah,
I, in being fully ‘who I am,’ expected this particular outcome to
happen, but instead this other outcome is coming up, and
because I know I am committed to who I am and my actions
reflect it, this other unexpected outcome is blatantly more
obviously beneficial for me than anything I had preconceived
should happen now to allow me to express myself fully.”

And thereby you begin to perceive and interpret

unexpected circumstances and these results in a very positive
and anticipating way. When you do that, there is nothing that
can seem to "creep in there" for everything is only now
interpreted as part of the process and never an interruption in it.

Now, as I have again often shared, you already do this ...

you always have. What we are discussing now is doing it
167
 Your Power on a Plate
consciously. When I say, "you've already been doing this," I
mean you always decide "this is who I am," no matter what your
criteria is ... you always trust in that decision, you change it, and
you always respond with that new decision as a foundation.

So, we are not discussing doing anything "new.” Perhaps

the approach is new. Perhaps the purposefulness, perhaps the
focusing and maintaining a “conscious focus’ of who you are
may appear or feel new. But you have always done this anyway
and any result that you are experiencing is automatically the
result of that approach, which you have expressed so perfectly
your whole entire life and (if you wish to get technical) ... your
whole entire existence.

168
 Your Power on a Plate
"WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS MESS?"
INTERPRETING YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AS BLAME
(What you "put out" is what you "get back.”)

Often, "responsibility" in your reality can be negatively

interpreted as “blame”, "I am responsible ... I am to blame.”
That is one way to put it. But that is not an empowering,
acknowledging, self-expressive way to understand the idea of
responsibility. And when you decide that "I am to blame," you
have made a decision. Built into that decision, implicated by
that decision is that you are a negative person, that you have
done something wrong, that you cannot change, that you are a
habitual Being, and therefore by extension, that your actions are
completely “out of your control" (or maybe only partially in your
control). But you no longer need not interpret “blame" as
"responsibility.” Now you have another choice. Now you know
better.

Your ability to respond means, no matter what you have

done ... no matter who you have been, you can choose yourself
anew in any given moment and you can use that ability to
respond positively. If it is no longer representative of who you
choose to be presently, even if you have done something
negative in your past ... this awareness allows you to now align
to the positive idea of who you are. And therefore, nothing that
you have done, no matter how negative, is extraneous.
Everything that you have ever done can be used to reinforce a
new positive decision about who you are now.

Therefore, “response-able” ... responsible ...

”response-ability” ... responsibility, can be interpreted in the
most empowered way which is: you have full and complete
conscious commandment over what you put out in your life, and
whatever vibration you are “being” when you put something out
is the result you seem to get back.
169
 Your Power on a Plate
Now, the actuality is that once you make the decision
you are the vibration of that new preferred decision, you are that
person. The apparency that you create is that you first must
perform an action to "cause" the series of events, to create the
"evidence" of being that person. Using the apparency and
beginning to act consciously and getting the results of those
conscious actions, begins to drive your consciousness back
into what you call "the moment", the now moment.

The willingness to be who you are consciously, to

respond as that new preferred person and to begin to get the
results of that new person, also has the effect of having your
consciousness seem to slide back into the moment where you
can begin to lift the apparency and begin to experience the
actuality that when you merely make the decision the whole
reality changes.

One of the ways, in order to explain the apparency of the

gradient to you, is that you play the game of proving what I am
saying to yourself, and once you have proven it, you create
yourself to be more completely expressive in the moment. This
is one of the ways that we endeavor to explain to you why there
is still the apparency that you have the "intermediary" of taking
an action, and you can use whatever apparency you create
about actions being causal in a positive way.

Because you may feel, "I do not have control over the
people that I interact with,” “I do not have control over having to
pay the rent tomorrow and not having the money.” "What do I
have control over?" What you do have complete control over is
your response in any given moment from what is available for
you to act upon. And that is your door ... that is your key ... that
is your missing link ... there is your puzzle piece ... that fulcrum,
that ability to consciously act only when you re-establish a

170
 Your Power on a Plate
foundation of implementing the most positive decision about
who you are.

When you begin to express yourself in this way and

notice initially that you still may perceive an event ... a
circumstance ... a relationship … in a negative way or perceive
something and interpret it in a negative way ... you will
understand through your willingness to withhold your action
until you realign, that no matter what you are thinking in that
circumstance it is only the action that you perform that has the
result. And you will see that you can have an initial negative re-
action and by being willing to only perform a positive action, only
always get a positive result (even though you may seem to have
a tendency to still create an initial negative interpretation).

Once you see in action that responding positively, no

matter what your initial interpretation is, always creates a
positive result, you will immediately begin to see the
transformation of your interpretations to not necessarily be so
initially negative. You will begin to see through the lens of the
new you even in interpreting outer situations.

Often individuals will judge themselves very harshly

because their initial interpretation of their perceived reality is
negative. This occurs because of the habit of interpreting
circumstances through the lens of your old, disempowered
belief about yourself. But when you begin to, again, withhold
your actions ... to first “re-align” ... and have the actions be a
positive expression, you can see how that need not in any way
"hold you back," and you create the evidence that because you
are willing to act in a positive way, those old interpretations are
no longer relevant, those interpretations are “outdated
thinking.”

Your willingness to act purposefully transforms your

tendency to interpret your reality in a specific way and replaces
171
 Your Power on a Plate
your former tendency to interpret your reality through the old
lens with a new positive interpretation, knowing that no matter
what the reality seems to present, you will only perform a
positive action, only get a positive result. And therefore “the
circumstance" in and of itself, cannot be inherently negative.

And therefore, the approach of initially labeling things

negative "melts away" ... becomes completely irrelevant to the
new you that you are now consciously expressing, rather than
simply entertaining.

When you begin to explore the idea of expanding your

consciousness and creating consciously, many of you entertain
the possibility of that idea that your life can be a conscious
expression. But until your actions reflect that, it is only merely
an entertainment.

When your actions reflect positive output, only acting as

the new preferred you would act, and you get the corresponding
positive results, you create the new physical “evidence” that
supports the idea that it is far beyond simply entertaining that
you create your reality, and that you are an Infinite being, now
beginning to express yourself in more Infinite terms.

And when you are willing to gauge your actions

accordingly, all the evidence becomes supportive of the positive
decision rather than a reflection of indecision or a reflection of
the apparency that your reality is a re-active event, rather than a
pro-active event. Is this clear? If you don't sound too excited
about it yet, perhaps you have not yet "grasped the simplicity" of
what I am saying, or perhaps you are still rather attached to the
idea of RaNDOM events, raNDOM effects...polarity experience.
That is alright ... that is all well and good, for you always set your
own pace. Feel free to review these words until they sink in.

172
 Your Power on a Plate
And therefore, nobody will rush you into exploring more
of yourself, nor can anyone slow you down when you decide to.
Your willingness to grasp that although your reality is quite rich
and complex, the living of yourself, the expressing of yourself,
can be rather simple. This is a very useful idea when you begin
to transform who you are, because you are always deciding, “I
am this person, I trust that I am this person, and my actions will
now reflect and express that person.”

Again, we are not sharing with you something that you

need to "practice at" or something that you need to develop an
expertise in. You are all consummate "experts" at creating your
own reality randomly. Congratulations!

However, you do often attract interactions, such as

interactions with ourselves, but really any interactions that
reflect your willingness to look beyond what you call the "status
quo" because you are now ready to express more of yourself.
And so, we are discussing most specifically what is meant by
"expression" ... which is your "response.”

Therefore, by all means, if it is attractive to you to

express your reality in positive terms, create the life that you
prefer and desire, by all means explore the ideas that I am
sharing with you, using the facilities you have already exercised
and masterfully employed.

To sum it all up. Your willingness to gauge your response

according to aligning with your most positive self is the profound
approach while still creating along a gradient and utilizing linear
reality (rather than attempting to "transcend" it in order to
"escape" it) in a very simple way. Purposefully employing the
idea of your conscious commandment proclaiming, "this is who
I am just because I know myself better than anyone else, this is
who I am therefore a person who is this person has a particular
approach” ... has a particular positive and supportive response.
173
 Your Power on a Plate
And if you are willing to align to your most positive
understanding of who you are ... you will find out just how
creative you are in any given situation ... to respond in the most
loving and positive way ... assuming that what you choose to
experience in your life is a loving and positive result. When you
put out that positive action ... create that vibration of
“positivity,” of “givingness,” of “lovingness”, that is what you get
back, and that is what many of you say you desire.

Therefore, when you see what to be coming back in your

direction ... you can also use that to look at your actions ... not
to assign "blame," not to judge yourself, but simple to observe
that perhaps ... maybe ... in certain given situations ... your
response is not always reflective of your most empowered
version of who you are (and may in fact be ... perhaps ... just
perhaps ... occasionally ... a bit disempowered). Once you
realize what you are doing, you can do something else, or you
can simply "bypass the analysis" and only do what it is that is
representative of who you decide you are.

Though we have broken this down to decision, trust and

action, into three components for the purposes of elucidating
and explaining and defining the mechanism very simply that you
use to create your reality, you will begin to find that they are truly
one event ... the decision, the trust is always expressed as the
action. They are one event.

And therefore, the action, while you are creating in this

way, is perhaps, again, the most important thing to be mindful
of at this point to take “the next step," perhaps in many ways
"the final step" of expanding your consciousness into expressing
yourself in preferred terms, according to your desire, according
to your excitement, expressing your “knowingness” that
everything is one integrated expression that is … you.

174
 Your Power on a Plate
For your willingness to allow me to interact with you, I
thank you and understand again, as an important clarification,
that your response, your action can also be the thing you "say.”

When you say something, that is an action ... that is a

response. And because at least at this point, in the way that you
express yourself as Physical Beings, you rely on verbal
communication quite heavily, what you say is representative of
who you are being in that moment. When we say, "gauge" your
response, you can also choose to apply that to gauge and
mitigate "what you say.”

This is what we do as a matter of course, having

everything be conscious and therefore the action that I would
seem to perform in these interactions is primarily "verbal.” On
the many levels that we create this interaction with you, using
your words is the main expression of who I am and in many ways
for now, is the main form that you will allow yourself to
understand. For now.

But I remind you that I only exist within you, from your
point of view. And therefore, anything that I say is something that
you are now reflecting very consciously, very blatantly back to
yourself, you get the credit. And your willingness to use
whatever external reflection you attract as an example of the
way in which you can create your reality in a positive way, is one
of the creative ways that you attract what you call "tools" and
"resources.”

Not that what we are saying is any better than any other
approach you have ever had or anything that you are doing. We
simply represent one of the reflections that you create … from
yourself ... to yourself, that incorporates the idea of expanding
into a more joyful expression of who you know yourself to be.
Because at least for me, from my part of this interaction, that is
what I represent, a Being who chooses joy, a Being who chooses
175
 Your Power on a Plate
full experience, full committed expression, positive output,
positive experience, positive perception and interpretation and
therefore whatever reflection that you attract is only you
speaking back to yourself in elaborately removed terms.

So, by all means, utilize that resource. You will begin to

find when you "put this new approach out" ... almost every single
direction will "spit that back" (so-to-speak) to you. Individuals
may seem to change, but it is truly you, expressing yourself
differently and therefore attracting the reflections that reinforce,
that support that new reflection.

And that is why action, your willingness to act

consciously, represents "the fulcrum.”

Therefore, for your willingness to interact with me, I ask

you now, how, by way of sharing between us, we may mutually
be of service and reflection to each other.

Sharing!

HARMONIC CONVERGENCE
THE HARMONIC WAVE TEMPLATE
("My decision is to wake up now!")

Q- My love to all of "you guys.”

Elan- Alright, how 'bout the women?

Q- Ah.... Yeah.

Elan- Alright.

Q- Several years ago Bashar [also from the Planet

Essassani] gave us something called… “the harmonic wave
template", which relates to the idea of "planetary
transformation.”

Elan- Alright.

Q- Now, your planetary transformation (on "Essassani")

only took three days, which was pretty quick!

Elan- So can yours, as I have shared, if you are willing to

commit to it and not rely upon the necessity that “everyone else"
do the same.

Our transformation was in tandem because our

civilization functioned more cohesively to begin with. But this is
not a weakness of your society. The advantage is that you can
do so personally, and then you will create the apparency or the
idea that so has everyone else, rather than relying on the
company, so-to-speak. Do proceed.

Q- Well I'm very interested in the idea Bashar expressed

to us before called "template metaphysics" where, as one
example, what he called "the harmonic wave template" plots
out how "Third Density" planets such as ours go through their
transformational phase where they end cycle on the old game in
177
 Your Power on a Plate
order to start a new game. And this "harmonic wave template"
plots out an eighty-year cycle complete with "trigger points" and
cultural events ... symbolic cultural events in our society. And
the first one was back in 1947 and the symbolic event was the
famous Roswell crash (of a UFO). And then in 1967 Star Trek
came out.

Elan- Oh, Star Trek! Alright...

Q- And then in 1987 we had the Harmonic Convergence,

as we labeled it, or the mid-point convergence which was sort of
like at the mid-point of this 80-year cycle. And now here we are
approaching a phase which I've sort of dubbed ... "the
cyberspace convergence,” where we're all getting together on
The Internet and sort of converging as harmoniously as we can.
And then ... according to “The Harmonic Wave Template” 2007
represents what Bashar called "the harmonic identification" ...
which I understand ...

Elan- Alright, may I ask you a question before you

proceed?

Do understand that many of these explanations were

very specifically geared to allow people to turn keys ... open up
doors ... expand their acceptability of expressing themselves in
more empowered terms. Many individuals require steps ...
processes explanations.

Do you desire ... you personally, I am asking now so your

answer can be representative of who you are, to wait until that
year to have that effect?

Q- I'm all for transforming now.

Elan- Ah, alright, go right ahead!

178
 Your Power on a Plate
Q- Thank you, I will! Part of that symbolic thing for me is
to...

Elan- By the way, before you proceed, again, that is a

societal tendency, and as I have reminded you about the idea of
... predictions, which are simply a sensing of the energy that is
present in the moment of what is most likely to occur if things
stay according to that seeming path ... that merely the sharing of
the prediction, merely the introduction of the idea ... generally
will serve to change the outcome.

So therefore, that is still a tendency ... a possibility of

things playing out that way and with that timing, but it is not
necessary, by any means, that your experience may follow any
particular template. And when you are ready to transform, "all
bets are off" in any particular template which was “situation
specific” to something which may no longer be representative
of who you are being.

Do you understand?

Q- Yes, thank you.

Elan- So by all means, use the tool, particularly if you

wish to prolong yourself that long, or if it is a methodology
through which you feel you can communicate with other
individuals, by all means, you can have them in agreement to
take that long as well, or you can simply use the inspiration that
you derive from any tool (including that one) and create that...
NOW.

And again, in terms of that schedule, "all bets are off"

and that template becomes less relevant to you and the
expression of your reality. Still, it will be relevant to another
reality, you need not worry.

Q- Thank you. My decision is to "wake up" now!

179
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- Alright. Go right ahead!

Q- ... and I like to fool around with templates and these

things ...

Elan- Do understand that many of these templates

actually create more time, which is all well and good, I am not
saying there are any shoulds as to when you might wish to
express more of yourself. I am simply pointing out that if you
fixate on an idea that is “linearly dependent” you can fulfill your
own prophecy in a way that may not be completely
representative of your truest desire to express yourself ... right
now.

Q- I got it!

Elan- Is that all?

Q- Yes, thank you.

Elan- Alright.

180
 Your Power on a Plate
WHY PHYSICAL BEING?
THE COMMON DENOMINATOR IDEA
(To experience as if for the first time.)

Q- Elan, what is the reason for choosing the biological

unit that we represent?

Elan- It is simply one expression through which you can

experience your reality in a very specific, what you sometimes
call, sensorial way. It is a way to express yourself that puts in
certain variables that allow you to explore, to seem to grow, to
seem to learn ... to experience, and this is very key, things as if it
were the first time ... for as I have often stated, when you are all
knowing, all seeing, Infinite Being, there is no idea of first time,
everything already exists. And so, one way to understand it
without getting that complicated, is that as the Infinite self the
idea of surprise is irrelevant, the idea of learning is irrelevant, the
idea of joy of discovering is irrelevant, because you already know
it all from the perspective of your Infinite awareness. So that is
the most basic common denominator idea as to why you use
this particular form of linear expression and exploration. Now,
whatever else occurs to you in addition to that can be your
specific reason. Technically, there are as many “reasons and
types of individual explorations” as there are people. But does
that make sense?

Q- To a certain degree, it does make sense.

Elan- Alright.

Q- Why did you choose your form? What was the

compelling force for you to choose who you became and what
was the compelling force for me to choose who I have become?

Elan- Well, you answer the question as far as you're

concerned.

181
 Your Power on a Plate
I will answer from my end as simply ... that the particular
physical form that I am expressing is to me, right now, the most
conducive to allow me to explore, to discover in a way that I can
express myself most fully. Now, really this is a "trick question"
... because it is the same answer for you too.

Q- Right, that's what I thought. That's exactly what I'm

trying to do then?

Elan- Ah, when you stop trying to do it and simply do it,

that is the difference between gauging your response and
reacting.

Q- Thank you for reminding me of that.

Elan- Alright, thank you for reminding yourself and using

me as an excuse. Is that all?

Q- Yeah, that's clear, thank you.

 Your Power on a Plate
"SAY THE FIRST THING THAT COMES INTO YOUR MIND"
PERHAPS YOU MAY WISH TO PUT THAT ON HOLD
(Gauging your response in interpersonal relationships.)

Alright I'll say, before we continue sharing allow me to

say the following. You have an expression in your vernacular,
"Say the first thing that comes into your mind.” Perhaps, when
beginning to realign your approach in your reality toward positive
expression of yourself and positive experience of your life,
perhaps you just may wish to “put that on hold.”

Do understand the following in terms of what you refer

to as “relationships", interpersonal relationships, until your life
is fully a living expression of your positive intention ... and
positive expression, "saying the first thing that comes into your
mind" may ... just ... be ... slightly ... counter-productive.

This is not to discourage the idea of "spontaneity.” This

is not to discourage the idea of spontaneous expression. Once,
indeed, your approach is in alignment with your desires,
preferences, and self-knowledge, then that very same trait, that
very same approach of expressing spontaneously, will have
quite a positive response and allow people to see in no
uncertain terms, that you know who you are and you mean what
you say and you are again ... a spontaneous emission in
progress, by all means.

But while you are re-aligning, saying the first thing that
comes to your mind will often be a reactive response, according
to a slightly less constructive belief than your most empowered
belief in any given situation. At first this, is often a vestige of
expressing a reaction that is originating from the lens of an old
outdated version and self-decision of yourself. So, gauging your
response in interpersonal relationships to simply have it
expressed in the simplest terms possible, maybe inserting a

183
 Your Power on a Plate
pause before you respond, should you find that your tendency
in any given situation is to respond in a negative way.

For needless to say, and even your own observations

will support what I am saying, that when you have a
spontaneously negative emission in an interpersonal
interaction, you invariably create a negative response from the
other individual. And often you will even say, “I did not mean to
say that", but your actions, your response (which in this case is
your words) did "speak louder." You did say that, and in that
moment at least, that is who you were.

That negative response creates an effect, and in what

you call a "relationship situation" it tends to be somewhat
immediate and complete. For your relationships, including your
close interpersonal relationships, will very closely mirror your
response, very spontaneously and immediately. So, to simply
realign before you speak, particularly if your perception and your
interpretation of what is being said to you is negative, is what
allows you to stop, as you say ... “hitting the negative ball back
into the other court.”

I understand that maybe this sounds "too simple to be

true.” Maybe it sounds as though you are squelching in the given
moment who you are. But this is only the effect if who you are is
ever fluctuating between conscious and automatic ... between
constructive and destructive. And when you put out something
that is destructive, that is negative, that is negatively reactive,
you will see it mirrored back to you in your reality.

And therefore, the statement still stands that you

control your response, which seems to control your perception
of your reality. This goes for every relationship. If someone says
something to you that you feel is most negative, that is their
approach. If you decide who you are and you accept who you are

184
 Your Power on a Plate
and part of that definition is that you wish a positive experience
... if your output is positive, no matter what, you will “de-fuse"
any given situation.

For only can the idea of "argument" (a negative

interaction) perpetuate if both (or as many individuals that are
involved) continue to perpetuate their reflection ... their
expression. And therefore, you can always, immediately see the
effects of gauging your response in interpersonal relationships.

You will understand that when you lash out, you are not
functioning from a position of being comfortable with who you
are. You are not functioning from a position of putting out a
constructive reflection. And therefore, what you do put out is
what you will seem to get back. And in fact, in that moment, if
you put out negativity ... you are being the vibration of negativity
and regardless of what the other person said, even if it would
seem initially to not be negative you may still interpret it in
negative terms because your response, also, again, will
determine your propensity to interpret a situation in a specific
way. So, if your usual approach is to respond negatively, your
interpretation will be negative.

If you shift that response (regardless of your initial

interpretation) to be a positive response ... you begin to then
transform what you call the "tendency" (but what is actually a
“perpetuated choice”) of interpreting what another person is
saying, interpreting your circumstance, interpreting your
surroundings in negative terms. And that is what allows you to
pivot, to transform, seemingly instantaneously. So, perhaps this
may just be one example of where “holding your tongue" may be
most constructive. But not for too long, for once you realign,
there will always be a positive response.

And once you have paused to give yourself the

opportunity to present to yourself that positive option, it will
185
 Your Power on a Plate
simply be compelling for you to express, to choose that positive
option ... because it is truly more representative of who you say
you desire to be. And often, the automatic response is simply
not giving yourself the benefit of one single, positive other
option.

Therefore, pausing before you act, pausing before you

say anything is very key to consciously re-aligning and creating
yourself and your life anew, rather than perpetuating (which is
still creating anew) the old negative reality.

So therefore, there was, perhaps you can say, on my

end, a sensing that it would be beneficial to address this as well.

186
 Your Power on a Plate
"OH YEAH, I'M ABUNDANT"
"PROVE IT TO ME UNIVERSE"
("Here's the symbol that tells me this is all bull.”)

Q- It's funny, actually my question was ... had something

to do with what you just said, and it was about the idea of
response. And I want to be a little bit clearer on that.

Elan- Alright.

Q- When I'm holding a ... let's say I get a ‘bill" in the mail,
okay. I have a mental response that happens very, very quick.

Elan- Alright. Simply file this into the categories we are

discussing. You open an envelope. You perceive something,
perhaps in this case a bill, you then have an interpretation,
which is what you are referring to as your response, but to simply
allow this to be very clear, call it your interpretation.

Your response is the thing that you then do after you

assess or interpret what that perception means to you. Now,
you can automatically respond and say any expletive that
comes to your mind, which is perhaps a negative response, or
you can look at it more carefully, more creatively and say,
"Alright, alright, I understand on the surface this seems
negative. I understand that everyone else sees this is negative.
But I'm a positive Being and therefore, even though there is the
apparency that this is inherently negative … I know it is truly a
neutral symbol and I know that what I assign ... as opposed to
the initial interpretation ... what I assign is the only thing that
determines the effect that I will get out. It is not the piece of
paper with writing on it that gives the effect ... it is my
interpretation, and then proceeding to assign meaning to that
interpretation.”

187
 Your Power on a Plate
If you allow yourself the possibility to realign to who you
are which, I assume includes the idea of being positively
abundant, before you respond ... before you curse the Universe,
then you are now doing something different.

You are having the appearance of what may seem to be

a repetitive symbol, but the only reason it seems to repeat, is
you always have a similar response when you finally express
something (not just interpret it on the face, but then make an
expression or then express yourself).

So, using that example, what is key is to simply pause

before you respond. If someone else is around, do not say
anything to them ... realign to who you are first. A person who is
abundant and knows it and cannot at that moment pay the bill
for whatever reason has a markedly different response than a
person who feels they are not abundant, and then the bill is
simply a reinforcement of that negative idea.

And it is that response which, again seems to create the

effect of the negative emotionality. So, by not having a similar or
same response to a similar or similar seeming symbol, you
change the momentum and literally change the significance of
the very bill you are discussing.

Q- Okay, I'm glad I asked that.

Elan- Now, I understand that it may seem on the surface,

that receiving the bill that you feel that you cannot pay ...
pausing a moment ... re-aligning to who you are and having a
positive response cannot possibly pay that bill ... and that
particular action, in and of itself, may not pay the bill at that
moment.

188
 Your Power on a Plate
But it sets up a new series of results that may or may not
directly have something to do with the bill and it also sets up a
new approach that will pay the bill.

Q- Okay, I understand what you're saying, I really do, and

I agree, I'm just interested in the mental response, because only
from my own experience, if I see an envelope and I see that little
thing up there on the left-hand side that says, "anybody who
uses this for "you know, gets fined $300 or imprisonment ... I
know it's from the IRS. Are you aware of that thing?

Elan- Alright, understood.

Q- And when I see that, I get a little tingle inside of me

and I haven't verbally said anything or really even created the
thought. I just have this immediate response of fear.

Elan- That is why we drew the distinction that you

perceive, you interpret and those things, in and of themselves,
do not seemingly create any result, it is the next action step that
creates the results in your life … and it is alright to have that
initial reaction. That reaction, that initial interpretation, is
reflective of the actions that you have performed up until now,
and that is why your willingness to change the response, change
the action ... no matter what the corner of the envelope says ...
sets up a new template, sets up a new series of events, sets up
a physical reality whereby suddenly and from some direction,
often unexpected, you can, next time, pay it.

And I understand that all of these things seem removed,

but when you begin to perform the positive response
continuously, you will begin to pick up a similar envelope (it is
never the same envelope) and not have that initial
interpretation.

189
 Your Power on a Plate
It is the tendency to act in a very similar manner each
time you get the envelope that creates the propensity to
interpret it in that way, which is still self-perpetuation.

And that is why doing something different in response ...

not hollowly, not on the surface, not to try to trick the Universe,
but because you refuse to be anything less than who you are in
every situation is a completely different approach, with a
completely different result ... that then changes or transforms
your tendency to continue to interpret your reality in those
negative terms.

And so again, to address this very specifically, you need

not judge yourself or measure yourself against a standard, that
if you have that initial interpretation you have "failed" or you are
not living your joy or passion. And your acknowledgment that it
is alright to have had that initial interpretation (you have always
acted in a particular way in a similar circumstance and the
interpretation is completely logical, let yourself have it) … but
then not settle for it ... not allow it to be a symbol to define
yourself ... not allow it to be a symbol to decide, "Well, I thought
I was so expanded, this envelope tells me I'm not.” Therefore,
the decision is, "I'm not the preferred me,”, the trust is, "I'm not
the preferred me" and the actions cannot be anything but a
direct reflection of the fact that you now decide, "you're not, or
no longer the preferred me" and see - "here's the proof.”

Q- Right.

Elan- Changing the actions will change your tendency to

interpret it in that way.

Q- We love your response. We love your response.

Elan- Alright.

190
 Your Power on a Plate
Q- No, but I have ... when I get just a ... to be exact about
that ... I'm clear what you said, and I was really interested in the
other response that I used to have, now I'm going to have a
different response.

Before, I used to look at it and say, "Oh, woe is me.” ...

and then after about maybe 30 seconds I would say, “wow, this
is a symbol of, you know, 'I'm abundant,' oh yeah ... I'm
abundant.” I had...

Elan- The way you are saying that still expresses that you
are humoring yourself.

Q- I know that.

Elan- And that is vastly different from simply...

Q- You're right.

Elan- ...simply deciding because you know that is who

you are and trusting it.

Q- Yeah, well ... that's what I'm saying, this is really great
and it's very synchronistic because I had been getting tired of
saying ... "and oh yeah, I'm abundant. [sarcastically]” I didn't
believe it, you know, I wasn't believing myself and I was really
frustrated with that, so this answer is really perfect. My
response will be different.

Elan- Alright, perhaps a more constructive approach

would be to pick up the envelope, allow yourself, even welcome
yourself to have any interpretation that you initially seem to have
automatically (you're going to anyway), embrace it ... invite it,
then, before you do anything, ask yourself who you desire to be,
not ... "Oh, yeah, I’m abundant" and in parentheses “but here's
the symbol that tells me, this is all BULL.” Simply re-defining, re-
deciding, "Alright, alright, here is a symbol ...

191
 Your Power on a Plate
I am definitely interpreting it as a reinforcement that I am
not abundant in this initial moment …

I acknowledge this reaction and I allow it to play out for

a moment ...

but I do not allow myself to continue to assign that

meaning,

because this is the only control I have.”

To not again taunt the Universe, but assign who you

are...

"Alright, I have this bill, it is an expression of who I am to

be able to pay these as they come in or better yet, before they
come in.” Align up with who you are ... with what's available. It
can be a reflection that you are "failing”, or it can be a reminder
that this is not what you wish to continue to create. It is all in the
interpretation.

The sarcastic response is not fully committing to the

positive decision, and it is still incorporating some of the
atmosphere of "prove it to me, Universe," you keep getting the
evidence that none of this works when you respond with, “Yeah,
I'm abundant, yeah, sure, that's the ticket.”

Q- All joking aside, I really have responded that I am

abundant and yet I still get to a place where I must not be
believing myself.

Elan- Perhaps, again, as we have discussed to some

degree ... your approach, though constructive, has not been
consistent and again, to use the terminology, from time to time
in a fairly regular manner ... as you say in your slang, you "cave.”

Q- Ah ... what caves me?

192
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- You. You simply say, "Alright, the evidence is too
overwhelming ... I buy back into the negative decision of who I
am using that as ‘evidence’, rather than perpetuating the new
positive decision of 'who I am' continuously,” for again ... even
three days of your time.

Q- Why would I, personally, choose to do this so much?

Elan- Answer your own question ... why would you?

Q- I have asked myself that and ...

Elan- Alright, this moment is anew, why now, do you do

that?

Q- To discover this magnificent abundance that I am,

period.

Elan- Alright.

Q- That's what I imagine it to be, I can feel that too, yet

it's still questionable to me, of why I really, really need so many
hurdles in my life to really believe something like this.

Elan- Do you feel in the process of this questioning that

your response is 100% consistently positive?

Q- I feel like asking the crowd ... that's who I am, I think,
”Well, what do I sound like?" because my ears hear something
different than, maybe, what everybody hears, so ...

Elan- It is my perception, with no judgment whatsoever,

that your response vacillates and alternates. I am not saying this
to criticize or judge you ... it is simply an observation. To make
matters more interesting, you sometimes deny that. But there is
nothing wrong with that either. Simply understanding, "I wish to
be consistent, I will be consistent" ... is all it takes to change it
all.

193
 Your Power on a Plate
Q- Then I will be consistent.

Elan- Are you consistent now?

Q- Yes.

Elan- ... or will you be in the future?

Q- I am consistent, period.

Elan- Alright.

Q- That's all I need, right?

Elan- Often individuals will test their decision. When you

consistently have the positive response, you will no longer seem
to test your decision. The indicator that your response is not
consistently positive need not be, "well, everyone, what do you
think?" but can simply be that indicator.

Q- Okay.

Elan- Does that make sense?

Q- No, no perfect sense. This is really amazing. This has

been a great gift for me.

Elan- It is the rule, rather than the exception, but I

understand what you mean.

Q- That's great...

Elan- May I ask you a question? And feel free, again, to

ube honest or not. It’s Up to you.

Q- Yes, you may.

Elan- I will never force you to know more of yourself.

Q- No, I wanna know more.

194
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- Now, I ask you this and it is up to you to answer in
any way you wish, I will take your words at their value, no matter
what I sense, alright?

Q- Alright.

Elan- Do you find yourself from time to time, judging

yourself ... yes or no?

Q- Yes.

Elan- Alright. That also is an indicator that your response

is not consistently positive, and you need not judge yourself for
having a not consistently positive response.

You can transform this all ... right now, by using that fact
and understanding, while you're judging yourself, chances are
the next thing you do won't necessarily be very positive. And in
finding that you are judging yourself, the approach that assists
you to transform it, is to simply say, again, "Alright, alright,
alright, I'm judging myself, but I do not wish to continue to do so.
I understand that I have done something that apparently is not
constructive and judging myself for that and then acting from
the atmosphere of that judgment. But I can simply observe that
I have done that, see that it has not gotten the positive result ...
not do that again and actually thank that very same action for
allowing me to realign, rather than judging myself.”

But when you judge yourself for judging, you compound

it ... and simply saying, “Alright, alright, alright, I've judged
myself, I have the option to love myself unconditionally, to love
myself conditionally, or to love myself not at all, which looks
most attractive?" Realignment.

Q- Yes, realignment. I understand that. Hopefully ... not,

no, trustingly, we will never talk about this ever again ... because

195
 Your Power on a Plate
right now I'm making a decision that I no longer ... when I do
judge myself ... if I do ... see, I’m judging myself right now ...

Elan- You can use it all.

Q- I know I will judge myself ... yes, I do expect that I will.

Elan- You can use it all and what can occur is that we can
talk about it again, when you are giving your "testimonial.”

Q- Right, right, I hear you.

Elan- From the positive mindset, it is alright to judge

yourself ... judgment can be something that lasts but a fraction
of a moment. Reminding yourself that you love yourself, no
matter what ... can also happen in a fraction of a moment. All
the indicators are there, all the interpretations may seem
automatic initially, but it is the ultimate response/action which
will create an effect which will transform it all. Different
responses ... will create different interpretations and you will no
longer judge that particular approach when you begin to walk in
step with who you know yourself to be.

And if you "cave" ... big deal. Don't harp upon it unless
you wish to carry around and perpetuate the results of the
judgment.

Q- Understood.

Elan- Alright, you could sound a bit more excited about

it.

Q- I'm very excited about it. I'm excited to get the tape
and really listen to it ...

Elan- Ah, the tape ... alright.

Q- ... Cause I am sitting here and I still ... my head is just

buzzing.
196
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- Perhaps, again, this seems a bit too simple ... but
this is the level at which we choose to communicate ...
consolidation, simplification. Again, as I have said: decision,
trust and action are really one thing.

And for now, to simply stay focused … is the expression

of your decision and your trust in any given moment and that is
what you can control that is what you have the choice to express
… in any way, in any moment, no matter what.

Q- Wow, yes, thank you.

197
 Your Power on a Plate
YOUR RESPONSE-ABILITY TO CHILDREN
KEEPING IT IN THE POSITIVE VEIN
(Three weeks will provide a complete sweeping
transformation.)

Q- Really what I wanted was a clarification.

Elan- Alright, proceed.

Q- I think that the three-day thing is really valuable, but I

think we make responses from, you know, all day long and
thousands of responses and that ... is it okay to positively
respond to something, yet still state your preference? Say...
okay, "well, I would prefer that you didn't do that," but in a
positive way, but still saying, "I prefer that you didn't do that.”

Elan- Absolutely, and we were not suggesting that your

response should squelch things that you know are true for you
in order to communicate. We’re only saying that no matter what
you are compelled to communicate there is always, always,
always a positive way to express it.

Q- Okay.

Elan- And perhaps part of the challenge may seem to be

to use your creativity and you will in fact amaze yourself to the
degree that you can express anything in empowered, positive,
and unconditionally loving terms … anything.

Q- I think that's true ... but I've been thinking of the word
responsibility a lot and whether I can be responsible for a lot of
people at one time, for their, you know, children ... for their well-
being, and I think it's very important to know that ... to know that
you can respond in a certain way, saying that, "well, you know
that's not appropriate" or whatever, but still come across in a
positive way.

198
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- Alright, I understand that it may at times seem
laborious, but rather than saying, “that is not appropriate,"
particularly when you are referring to children, perhaps the more
positive explanation is of what is appropriate and why ... it will
serve the same purpose and keep it in the positive response
vein.

Q- I think that you're right, that's true. Thank you. And

another thought was being, you know, the whole response-able
thing, is that you also can't be responsible for how someone
interprets what you're saying.

Elan- Absolutely not, but when your intention is

consistently positive, your reality reflects that back to you. And
if certain individuals are unwilling to match that vibration, your
interactions with them and your relationship with them will
transform, but more often than not, you will find that when you
are willing to put yourself out in that positively oriented way, you
invoke that aspect in another or the other person. And you find
in general, that you in order to reach what you call "agreement,"
not necessarily that you need to conform, but that there is a
workable agreement in any situation, particularly with the
people you attract "most closely.” Does that make sense?

Q- Yeah, it all does, thank you. Just one other quick

clarification. The three-day thing, and then you said something
about three weeks. Now, three days you'll notice a difference?

Elan- Three days you will notice an obvious difference

that will perhaps inspire you ... three days you will notice enough
compelling results to effortlessly continue and see the obvious
constructive value. Three weeks at the onset ... at the longest,
will provide a complete sweeping transformation visible in all
aspects and relationships of your life. If you remain consistent.

Q- I think that's really exciting, thank you.

199
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- It is, and it demonstrates that making even a small
change, results in the sweeping results, sweeping
transformation. We generally refrain from such concrete, finite
designations such as a certain number of days or weeks in
assigning a timeframe to achieve desirable results. In this case,
as an average however, this demonstrates the short time frame
in which you can have the results that you seek when you
choose to play along the gradient, whereby your actions create
world results in the physical.

And it is exciting, and it is the former, so-to-speak, three

weeks that have resulted in whatever you are seeming to have a
tendency to interpret, right now. So, not only will it work, it does
work, it has worked. Alright?

Q- Mm, hm.

Elan- I thank you.

Elan- At this timing, allow me to thank you all for allowing

us to bring these interactions to a new level.

We have always called them “inter-actions" because it

is the actions that "speak the loudest," so-to-speak. We do not
insist that you do anything that we ever share. We simply trust
that the timing of our sharing it with you corresponds to your
timing ... automatically ... by convention ... sychronistically and
therefore you will always continue to attract whatever
reflections allow you to explore whatever is relevant to you. It
may seem, right now, like "one thing at a time" ... you will find
that to change.

Chapter Six

Purposeful Allowance

We have discussed many things with members of your

society. We have discussed the many ways ... the many
mechanisms ... the many ideas through which you express
yourselves as Physical Beings, as lifetimes ... as statements of
reality ... as your version of reality.

We have simplified many of the things we have

discussed with you down to the idea that the bottom line is that
your reality is not something that you exist within and that, at
least if you allow yourself to look at it this way, your reality truly
exists within you and is an expression of you.

As you expand your consciousness, as you transform,

literally, into more of yourself, your awareness expands to
include the idea that the reality that you formerly believed
yourself to exist within ... exists within you. This is a

201
 Your Power on a Plate
characteristic of the expansion of your consciousness in that
you realize that your consciousness is the reality.

The way that this plays out in your physical lives, in your
approach, in your day-to-day interactions, is that you express
yourself in a very specific way:

1. You decide who you are, "I am this person," (you

decide).
2. You trust in that decision (no matter what the criteria is
for having come to that decision). you then …
3. Act or perform a series of actions or outward
expressions that then seem to move the reality around
to create an effect with the action still seeming to be the
cause.

Your creation, your reality, your expression, is really

quite automatic and effortless. The preconceived notion, the
previously expressed belief that you must make things happen,
that you must force things to move, that you must push very hard
against the characteristics of your reality in order to have an
impact are, shall I say, a bit inaccurate. And even
counterproductive.

For you do not truly push or move or stretch or force your

reality to express itself. If you wish to get quite specific and
accurate about it ... you allow your reality into place. You
express the allowance for your reality to express itself.

Now, when you allow the expression of your reality, but

still not fully consciously, purposefully, or knowingly, then the
results of such an allowance can seem to have many random
effects that you say you do not prefer. But the idea that you can
shift or transform your reality by simply re-defining yourself, re-
deciding who it is you wish to be, who it is you desire to be ... is
truly not an act of pushing or changing or forming or conforming
202
 Your Power on a Plate
or restructuring in a very effortful way. That is only one way to do
it. Another way is to understand that it is a matter of allowance.
Allowing ... which is quite the opposite posture of forcing, quite
the opposite approach to attempting to make something
happen. And allowance has a more profound and far-reaching
effect within physical reality than you have been taught in your
society.

Simply, pushing is tightening up, contracting, seeming to

need to gather yourself, and then exploding outwardly. Whereas
allowance is simply expressing receptivity effortlessly,
assuming the “posture” of, and then allowing the outcome of
any particular idea to manifest or culminate.

When you come to the place in your life, in your reality,

where you decide to decide who you are, rather than have
circumstances, individuals and situations dictate who you are,
you literally allow yourself to make that new decision and
achieve a more preferable outcome. You allow yourself to
decide, which is completely effortless. You do not need to force
yourself to change your decision, you simply need to allow
yourself to be what you already are ... as opposed to forcing
yourself to be something that you are not right now. Since you
are the reality, since the reality exists within you ... you already
are "Infinite potential personified.”

In order to express any particular chosen nuance of that

Infinite potential, it is not a matter of "flexing your muscles" and
pushing quite hard. It is a matter of simply choosing and
accepting or allowing the results of those choices to manifest,
to express from you back to you.

An Important Distinction About Beliefs

As we have discussed many times, beliefs are not truly
something where you have a belief and don't have its opposite
203
 Your Power on a Plate
belief. You contain it all ...you contain all beliefs. So, the reality
is that the belief you express, outwardly express ... act upon, is
what determines, in that sense, your outcome. And you can
allow yourself “across the board" to decide who it is you wish to
express yourself to be. You can allow yourself to be something
that you already are, as opposed to needing to "become"
something that you are not. The mere recognition of this simple
turning point, simple key, can allow you to begin to allow
yourself to be who it is you wish to be.

You allow yourself to decide, either consciously, or you

can say that "circumstances dictated" that decision, but you
can choose which of these versions you allow yourself to
express through the conscious commandment of any new
decision.

You can decide to allow yourself to be whoever it is you

wish to be, for you already contain it all. Then you can allow
yourself to trust. Then you can allow yourself to act in the way
that is consistent with the person that you consciously chose
and say you are.

You can act in a way that is consistent with who you

decide to be, that you allow yourself to be. Part of the allowance
of deciding “I am this preferred person" is to allow yourself to act
like such a person. You can allow yourself to determine in your
imagination how such a preferred person would already act and
then choose to allow yourself to act that way.

Now when that decision about who you want to be

changes, for instance you decide ... "I wish to change either my
entire life or some aspect of it," the first thing you do is allow
yourself to decide who you are, to re-define that decision and
state that decision and then allow yourself the slack to have that
decision be a statement of who you are.

204
 Your Power on a Plate
In that sense, it is up to you, and it is not a matter of
"forcing yourself" to decide who you are. You already know who
it is you wish to express yourself as. Perhaps sometimes you see
yourself expressing yourself in that way ... other times, perhaps
you see yourself as not expressing yourself in that way, but you
can also allow yourself to “re-mind” yourself who you are by
choice, and to have that decision about who you are be
conscious.

Now, when you begin to shift your decision ... change

your approach ... change your expression, many times there is
the apparency that circumstances, relationships, and
interactions have an echo of a feeling from the lens of that old
decision. And therefore, though you may state, "I am this
integrated, positively oriented person," a circumstance may
come along where you think, “Well, look at that, if I was that new
person, this wouldn't be happening.” (Which is, by the way, also
a decision.) In that sense, you decide that your first decision
perhaps wasn't "true," because "look ... here's the evidence.”
Now I remind you that though your societal approach is "seeing
is believing," is in actuality “believing is seeing.” When you
begin to shift your decision, often your initial response to certain
circumstances may still appear on the surface to be that "same
old" dis-integrated response.

In our last interaction we had discussed that you will

then eventually perform an action ... after you interpret your
reality ... after you have that reaction to circumstances,
individuals, or interactions. Our suggestion was to place a
pause before you act. Our suggestion was to fully re-align to your
new preferred self, and only after that, respond and perform an
action.

Therefore, you can allow yourself to remind yourself of

your new decision before you act. Allow yourself to remind
205
 Your Power on a Plate
yourself how a person with that new decision would act, even in
this particular circumstance which seems to be coming up as
"evidence to the contrary.”

206
 Your Power on a Plate
ALLOW YOURSELF TO FEEL FULLY
SQUELCHING DOES NOT ALLOW THE MESSAGE
(It's got a shelf life.)

One that we wish to now emphasize is the fact that the

"initial reaction" that you may have according to the lens and
interpretation of an old decision is alright, is all well and good to
have. Allow yourself to fully feel that initial reaction. Attempting
to squash that reaction is not allowing yourself to express your
decision fully.

Ignoring that reaction and simply doing something else

can have a "pressure" building up within you and you may feel
that you are simply "fooling yourself" and not truly changing your
reality at all. Squelching yourself from having the initial reaction
can be experienced as the buildup in pressure and frustration.

So, the idea that we wish to emphasize as an addendum,

is the idea that it is “all-right”, in fact part of the very process to
allow yourself, internally, to have that re-action fully without
expressing, responding or acting immediately. Do not squelch
the feeling. Do not squash the feeling. If you squelch something,
if you attempt to stop it and do not allow it to express, you do not
allow it to "deliver the message" that actually reinforces that the
new decision is in place. By denying your initial re-action, you
are denying yourself and your new decision in many ways. By
judging your reaction, rather than simply allowing yourself to
experience it, you prolong your reaction you draw it out, you
make it seem to take more time, which can last days … weeks …
months more … for things to manifest anew.

By allowing yourself to fully feel your initial reaction and

assuming it to be part of the process and not an interruption in
it, you can experience for yourself that the initial reaction or
emotional response has a "shelf life.”

207
 Your Power on a Plate
If you allow yourself to fully have a reactive emotional
response, even if it does not seem like the most integrative
reaction, without acting ... without putting out, but simply
realizing you are having this emotional reaction and allowing
yourself to have it, the emotion plays out, generally in a matter
of what you call seconds or minutes, perhaps hours, but
generally not much longer. However, when you define your
initial reaction as “extraneous”, not belonging, and then judge
that reaction to be proof that you are “backsliding" and that it is
not a representation of who you now are ... and perhaps judge
yourself for having created it to begin with … you are not allowing
the initial reaction to play out ... you are not assuming it to be a
part of your process, and you are not allowing it to "deliver the
message" that then you can pivot upon and re-align ... re-orient
... and remind yourself to who it is you now know you are.

And so, in saying, "do not act immediately, do not

express and have an external output immediately" ... we did not
mean that you should not allow the full initial emotional reaction
... to look at the full emotional re-action. Your willingness to look
at any emotion dispassionately while maintaining your
unconditional self-love allows "even that" initial emotional
reaction to reinforce the new decision rather than present itself
as evidence for the return of the old decision. And so therefore,
to again reinforce the idea, you can fully allow yourself to
experience any emotion, you can have an interpretation and
even the reaction to that interpretation, and fully allow yourself
to feel it, fully allow it to play out, without walking around
performing actions with the initial reaction as a foundation,
without having negative discussions with individuals, saying the
things that are not truly representative of the new decision of the
you that you choose to be. You can be with yourself ... with that
emotion, and if it is the negative seeming emotion and you allow
it to play out, it plays out, then you get to the point of: "Well all

208
 Your Power on a Plate
right, now what?" Emotions play out if you allow them to express
themselves fully. It’s the same as when you allow yourself to
have a good cry. If you release the full crying, allow yourself to
cry with gusto, you eventually get to the point where the crying
subsides, and even if you attempt to cry more, the crying seems
to have “run out of gas.” And so, all emotions play out that same
way, IF you allow them to express fully, they all play out. If you
squelch them and push them down, they remain sub-acute, and
persistently express themselves on a lesser level. The full
release allows them to finally dissipate. Then you can determine
what older outdated belief you were expressing to feel that
emotion. And only then can you own that old, outdated decision
and simply re-align to the new preferred decision of who you are
by choice.

But if you attempt to interfere with that negative seeming

initial emotional reaction and place many more levels of
judgment and self-beratement to it, the reaction stretches out.
It doesn't have the opportunity to be part of the process and the
decision winds up seeming that it is an interruption in the
process ... that your process is interrupted ... that you are
interrupted ... that your decision is nullified generally spiraling
downward back to the completely “dis-empowered" point of
view, which again, is always ... ultimately also a decision in and
of itself.

No matter what you use as a rationale ... when you finally

say, “this stuff doesn't work" ... you're employing this very "stuff"
to provide the evidence that “it does not work" ... which, at least
as far as my way of looking at it, is a paradox and perhaps ( with
no judgment intended) ... an irony. For you are using the very
power to prove you don't have the power - this is how all-
pervasive your power is. You are so powerful a Creator that you
can actually create the “assumptive atmosphere' that you are
completely powerless.
209
 Your Power on a Plate
Now, I understand this may seem to many of you like
"word play," a very clever semantic artifice, and if that is your
decision, you will get the effect of this being only that. But if you
are willing to entertain the idea that no matter what, you will
make a decision, that decision will stick, you will trust that
decision, and you will act "as though" that decision is so ... you
can re-align to the idea that you are still ... using the same
mechanism.

When you are willing to have your allowance be

purposeful, have your decision be purposeful ... then your reality
can begin to express purpose; can begin to express your desires,
can begin to express the fulfillment of who you know yourself to
be. You can exercise your power of … purposeful allowance.

Unconditional Self Love

In taking this one step farther, the idea you call "love"
(what we expand to use the term and definition “unconditional
love”) is also something that you allow or “dis-allow.” You can
entertain the idea that you can allow for “unconditional" self-
love. "Unconditional love", by definition, is love that is not
contingent on any behavior, love that is not contingent on any
particular outcome, that need not be earned, and yet is still
always present. “Unconditional love" is literally the "stuff" that
reality is made of. It is literally the primary energy and what you
may refer to in your vernacular as ... the love of "God" or "All-
That-Is" because true and pure love is simply the knowingness
that everything exists within you, is a part of you, and while it
may reflect things that you desire and things that you do not
desire, it is still all you. And your willingness to unconditionally
love, simply is the willingness to express that everything has the
right and reason to exist and everything fits and belongs.

210
 Your Power on a Plate

Self-Judgement
This does not remove your sense of discernment. This
does not remove your sense of approving of certain ideas, while
disapproving or having certain ideas still be valid ... but not
relevant to you. When you judge yourself, you and only you allow
that judgment, and that allowance is also a matter of your
allowance.

You cannot judge yourself unless you allow yourself to

judge yourself. And one way to look at the idea of judgment, is
that perhaps you are intermittently loving yourself, but it is a
form, a very strong form of "conditional love": "if I do this
particular thing, I love me. if I don't do this, I’m an idiot.” There is
no external council or panel or group or consciousness that
judges you. Now, there may be individuals who seem to judge
you. That is simply their external reflection of self-judgment. But
only will you feel judged, no matter what the external
appearance is, when you "join in on the party.” ... when you
match the vibration of what you perceive to be external
judgment.

Only will you feel a negative effect from something that

someone is sharing with you if you match that vibration within
yourself. Judgment is not something that you feel from
"outside.” Judgment is something that you create a version of
inwardly and then strongly identify with and match the vibration
of. But if you do not join in with the judgment, if you do not judge
yourself ... if you do not place the conditions upon yourself, if
you allow unconditional self-love, then anything else that
anyone offers you is simply a gift with the receipt to return it.
Either ... it applies to you, and you keep it, or ... it doesn't apply
to you, and you don't, period.

211
 Your Power on a Plate
And again, should an individual seem to judge you and
you simply refuse to join in, you simply refuse to express
anything toward yourself except “unconditional self-love" ... you
will not feel that judgment, and perhaps what you will feel is a
deep compassion for the individual that is doing the judging
because judging someone does not come from a place of love
and power. For just as when you judge yourself and you create
the idea of “a negative feeling," so when you judge others or they
judge you, that same negative feeling is the result. Judgement is
the expression of conditional love and not the sublime emotion
of unconditional love.

For judging others, from the most integrated

consciousness point of view is truly also judging yourself, it is
momentarily removing (so-to-speak, you never really do, but
there is the apparency of removing) the self-love or placing
conditions upon the self-love.

When you unconditionally love yourself fully and

perhaps "find yourself" doing something that is not an accurate
expression of who you determine yourself to be, it is simple
enough to simply use that opportunity to realign, allow yourself
to remind yourself of who you are and not create full blown self-
judgment out of the idea. Judgement is best replaced by re-
alignment to unconditional self-love.

And part of the idea of expressing self-love is to “cut

yourself the slack", to allow yourself to have and fully express
emotions ... to allow yourself to seem to have reactions. If you
do not act or express these reactions you will not create an
outer, "echo" reflection of it, and all of the ramifications of that
reaction will be internal, you allow them to play out internally ...
they resolve ... you realign to who it is that you know yourself to
be for you have allowed that to "play out.”

212
 Your Power on a Plate
You use that reorientation re-action to reinforce that you
absolutely refuse to change your decision, no matter what, and
then you act, then you speak, then you reflect. You have not
"squelched" anything, nothing has built up, no pressure, no
frustration. Simply, perhaps at first you may be excusing
yourself from the room a lot. But that is "all well and good" ... for
that is a perceived action on the parts of others and though they
may at first "scratch their heads" when you come back in re-
aligned. They will see an example that when a person makes a
decision and allows themselves to maintain that decision
purposefully ... nothing can change that. The new preferred
decision is now a reflection of who you are, and you now
become a living example to the other individual.

Not that you are in any way responsible for them, but you
are being responsible to them, by being willing to be a reflection
of who you are. And what may be perceived as you being rude
and leaving the room, will come to be appreciated as the
process of realignment — maintenance of the positive decision.

213
 Your Power on a Plate
FOOLING YOURSELF?
"I THOUGHT I CHANGED"
("Here I am an idiot again!")

Now, where all this leads is that as you begin to use your
initial reactions rather than negate them, rather than judge
them, rather than create guilt (which is lack of self-love) about
them, your reactions deliver their message, they play out an
idea, they reinforce your new decision and the seeming negative
reactions soon “dis-appear" from your present reality.

Your reaction will only continue to seem to be the

"same" if you do not allow it to play out ... for what you are truly
allowing your emotional reaction to do is serve a purpose. You
are allowing your emotions to deliver a message. When the
"message" is delivered the "messenger" no longer has no reason
to hang around.

And so therefore it is not a matter of constantly "fooling

yourself" that things have changed. It is a matter of allowing
yourself to express the change and using everything in your
reality to reinforce the change. As that occurs, your emotional
reactions refine and change, for the old reaction that was
generated by seeing through the lens of the old unpreferred self-
belief becomes dated and obsolete.

What we are addressing is the fact that when you first

shift your decision, your old initial negative emotional reactions
often do not seem so obsolete. You may think, “There's that
reaction again, I thought I changed, I thought I was an
unconditionally loving Being, here I am an idiot again!" Thinking
that way is also a thinking process that you allow. You allow
things to seem extraneous, as if they don’t fit. I submit, as I often
have in interacting with members of your society ... that nothing
is extraneous...everything is part of the process, nothing is an

214
 Your Power on a Plate
interruption in it, unless you say so. In which case, what actually
occurs is that you create the apparency of being '"interrupted.”
You create the apparency of something being “out of sync" with
your process. But again, the paradox, the irony is that "even that"
is part of the process. And as you continue to label something
as "extraneous," you do not allow yourself to see how it is part
of the process. You then seem to reinforce the idea, "Oh well,
extraneous things happen" (which is another wording of a slang
statement you have, which I need not repeat).

The idea of "allowing" is to relax, to let go, to experience

things and accept that, though on the surface at first, they may
seem to run contrary to a new decision that you've just made,
that nothing does truly run contrary to your new decision. The
moment you make the new decision and allow that decision to
be who you are now; the reality shifts immediately. And
therefore, anything that occurs after that assignment of the new
decision is always a reflection of the new decision, no matter
what ... but only if you choose to interpret it that way and use
everything. If you understand that nothing is extraneous,
everything is truly useful.

When something would seem to "come along" that

would not seem to be useful, and your first reaction is, "What
possible use can this have in my reality?” ... by all means, allow
yourself to feel that way until it plays out. Allow yourself to get
"righteously indignant.” Allow yourself to think, "Oh woe is me!"
But when your first reaction plays out, also then ask yourself,
“how does this serve me? How does this reinforce my new
positive self-decision? How is this actually allowing me to see
where I may still have the ability to see through the lens of the
old approach and yet not have to express that old approach?"

Now, one of the ways that we have defined this process

whereby you make a decision something comes along, you have
215
 Your Power on a Plate
a reaction ... a definition of the thing that comes along as being
absolute evidence that your decision didn't stick, is that you
then cave in and re-assume a decision, generally a less
empowered decision. But nevertheless, you are always still
performing these "steps,": deciding ... trusting ... acting,
automatically and effortlessly. If you experience “caving in” it’s
only because you allow yourself to cave in. "Caving in" is not
something that happens to you, no matter what the apparency
is, and in fact generally you then resist the caving in. What we
are suggesting is that, if that is how you choose to express
yourself in reaction, then you can actually allow yourself to cave
in, for even caving in can be used, even caving in has a shelf life
when you allow it and seems to extend itself when you resist it.
Perhaps a simple rule of thumb is that allowance creates
instantaneous expression, while what you call "resistance"
seems to stretch out expression and cause the expression to
take longer to manifest.

There is often the idea that something could come along

that is so overwhelming, that if you allow it, you will simply
explode! I submit to you that this is also an apparency and that
it is actually the fear of the fear that you are feeling, rather than
the idea of an overwhelming result itself. If you are "afraid to be
afraid," that is vastly different, that is another layer altogether,
than simply feeling fear ... allowing yourself to feel the fear ...
allowing that to play out which it will, and then having a dialogue
about how it serves you, how it in fact reinforces your new
decision rather than negating it.

So, you can “purposefully allow” these expressions

and it is all only a matter of choice. If you allow your life to be
random, always, that is a direct result of deciding, "Alright ... I
give up! Life is random.” And still, you have your unpreferred
decision “re-registered.” And because it may have been an old
tendency, the reactions and the circumstances seem very
216
 Your Power on a Plate
quickly to support the disempowered notion and outcome. But
when you change to the positive decision and allow the
reactions to be part of that decision ... when you refrain from
action until you are able to use the emotional reaction to realign
to who you prefer to be, and then perform actions consciously,
ably, purposefully as that new person, then you see a change.

217

“PROVE IT TO ME”
CHALLENGING THE UNIVERSE
(Challenge has the underlying assumption that 'failure" is very
possible.)

Because you are linear Beings, we have discussed the

idea that consistently maintaining your positive decision about
who you are can make changes very quickly in your life, and that
were you, in that sense, to even do so consistently, without fail
for as little as three of your days ... there will be noticeable
positive external evidence.

We did not say this in that way to challenge you and we

did not say this to set up the atmosphere for you to think, "Oh,
show me, “I can do that for 3 days - prove it to me.” Because the
very posture of "prove it to me" actually has an underlying
assumption that it is not likely or true and because that is the
underlying assumption, how you will respond and interpret the
evidence will most often support that underlying assumption.

So, perhaps you can loosen up on the timeframe ...

understand that you will see changes, but not if you focus on
apparent evidence to the opposite. If you do, then the changes
that do occur, that are observable, perhaps to others around
you ... will not be apparent to you.

The idea is to begin to entertain the idea of not needing

to “test" your reality. Up to now your reality has been a
marvelous exam. This is the trial run reflected in your statement,
("I am _____.” ... fill in the blank). If you "challenge" the Universe
with, "show me", and I remind you ... "the Universe" is you and a
challenge has an underlying supposition that “failure" is very
possible.

Therefore, I again thank you for allowing me to interact

with you ... to be a reflection of where you are now at. For
218
 Your Power on a Plate
although you may think you all hear the same thing in this
interaction ... I guarantee you there are as many interpretations
of what I am saying as there are individuals present, both
physically, remotely and even non-physically, for you all only
experience your own version of reality.

The things that you notice in a string of words you call a

"sentence" are contingent upon your own lens and approach ...
upon the things that stand out to you ... upon the way that you
have expressed what you call your "tastes.” ... your "desires.” ...
your particular "approach.” ... your particular evidence
gathering behavior. And so therefore, when I interact with you,
when we as a society interact with you, we do so while putting
out an overall intention, and then allowing that particular
message and communication to serve as many purposes as it
will, no matter what the outcome is, with no "investment" in
anyone embracing, or in that sense, rejecting any of it.

My responsibility to myself ... is to simply share what I

know to be true for me and trust that whoever I attract are just
the perfect individuals that will benefit from it. However, that is
the extent of my involvement. How you interpret it, how you use
it, whether you even you use it or not consciously, is not of
importance to me for I honor you as a Being, as a sovereign
consciousness that makes your own decisions, no matter what
those decisions are.

And for me and members of my society disempowered

decisions are still an expression of your overwhelming power
and so we can find fascination in any decision that you make
about yourself. Your responsibility is to interpret this
information in whatever way you do ... trust that you have
attracted specific ideas for a reason and use this information in
whatever way you see fit ... unless you wish not to use it at all, in
which case … alright, ironically, you'll be using it anyway.
219
 Your Power on a Plate
Allowing other individuals to have their own
interpretations, allowing those interpretations to be valid for
those individuals, without taking them on yourself, and
remaining minded and grounded in who you are, also will more
quickly allow your decision to seem to register a visible effect.
For if you are depending on the reactions ... the responses ... the
interpretations ... the evidence ... the belief expression of
others, all you are doing is using those others as a symbol, as a
relief valve for your own decisions ... your own beliefs anyway.
So, others only ever act as mirrors, whether you create those
mirrors to be shiny and true or smoky and dark. Responsibility
"to" is simply being fully who you are. Responsibility "for" is then
taking on the added responsibility to make sure everyone else
"gets it," which is completely impossible!! Remembering this
allows you to let go, allowing everyone to have their own point of
view and allowing yourself to maintain your own.

As you consciously decide who you are because that is

what you say ... that is who you know you are … your reality shifts
immediately, instantaneously, and completely in the moment of
that decision. Allowing everything that occurs from that point
forward to be part of the process ... a reinforcement of the
revised decision and looking not as to how something is
interfering, but rather how it reinforces the new preferred
decision ... allows that decision to be reinforced most quickly.

I will now allow for what you call "interaction," for this is
a dialogue that takes place and that dialogue is as though we are
a room full of mirrored balls all reflecting off each other from
different facets, different directions, catching the light from
individuals that allow you to reinforce who you are, catching the
light from individuals that may not be a reflection of who you are
... all of which serves to allow you to continue to know ... to now
consciously define who you are and so ... everything is of
service.
220
 Your Power on a Plate
And when we interact with you, this is what we get out
of it. We get the reflections that assist us with our particular
point of view, with our particular exploration, with our particular
orientation. And the gift that you give us in interacting with us is
a great gift that is held by members of my society in high regard.
And in honoring your sovereignty, we also honor our own.

For your willingness to allow us in the expression of this

honoring fest we all gain, and we all see things about ourselves
that we are now ready to expand to, this truly is an inter-action
and not a one-sided event, for everyone is both teacher and
learner, everyone. And if you begin to allow yourself to see this,
you will know when it is "your turn" to contribute ... you will know
when it is your turn to gather and to reflect and to define.

So, if you wish, you may now purposefully allow that

your decision has registered and that everything ... "from this
moment forward" ... is a reinforcement of your decision ... no
matter what has ever happened to you up to this point. For your
past, or your perception of your past (which is often inaccurate),
is one of your greatest rationalizations for continuing to make
non-preferred, disempowered decisions in the present that are
not empowering and not representative of who you say you wish
to be.

"The past" already served its purpose in the moment that

it occurred. In the now moment that any event has occurred ...
it's over and done ... and if you insist on bringing it into this
moment ... it is not the actual past - it is a recreation in the
moment, using elements, using puzzle pieces from seemingly
other things, but you are creating it right now and therefore “the
past" has no hold on you unless you rigidly and completely insist
that it does ... then you will create the apparency that it does.

So, as we move into the interactive phase of this

communication, I remind you that you are in the now moment.
221
 Your Power on a Plate
You now create in the now moment, and it is up to you how you
will continue to express yourself. Nothing is kept from you if you
will but purposefully allow yourself to experience it.

THE EGO
MAINTAINS FOCUS IN PHYSICAL REALITY
(Period.)

Q- Elan, can you give me your perspective on the word

"Ego?"

Elan- There are many ways to look at it, but for the
purposes of simply remaining focused, "Ego" is what you create
and define as an expression within your Infinite self that
maintains your focus in physical reality, period.

Generally, it is overloaded with the assumption of other

jobs, which it seems to have a reaction to. But its main purpose
is to simply keep you focused as a Physical Being. You make a
decision, and your "Ego" allows you to remain focused on that
decision and its seeming expression and results.

Now, when you define the Ego as something more and

give it power, and I will say very brazenly use it as an excuse ... it
can take on different characteristics, it can seem to be driving
its own vehicle. But that is an apparency and simply re-aligning
... re-assigning to the definition ... "this is the expression within
me that keeps my focus in physical reality ... this is the
expression of me that will make itself known when I need to be
so focused and that is its only job," it will seem in a sense, to
simply be a mere nuance, rather than a controlling factor, and it
is simply the re-defining of its role. Does that make sense, or do
you insist that it be more than that? Now, that is a big job.

Q- I wanted to know where Ego fits into spirituality. When

I'm reading books, it's ... "my ego should be to the left ... and we
should be in the heart more.” Where is the ego in all of this?

Elan- Alright, when you do that, you are setting up

yourself as a collection of parts, rather than a whole, often

223
 Your Power on a Plate
speaking about the idea of expressing integration while dis-
integrating yourself into bits and pieces in the process. Simply
the way to categorize this, to have it be useful, is that you are not
a collection of parts. You can express yourself and absolutely
get the effect of seeming like a collection of parts or you can
simply remind yourself that you are one whole being with many
different aspects that perform different functions. But all
aspects are equal and honored as you choose now to express
yourself in expanded terms ... in what you sometimes refer to as
"spiritual terms.”

So, pushing something to the left, from my particular

way of interpreting it, is segmenting yourself, rather than saying,
"I accept my whole self" ... instead you say ... "as I expand, sorry
portion of myself called “Ego," there's no place for you and in
fact you are quite obnoxious.”

Now, I am being humorous. The idea is that you assign

these designations and then have elaborate interactions with
them, rather than saying, "Alright, alright, I understand, I am
maintaining focus ... I will use that focus; I will use this idea and
I will continue to express myself as a 100% uninterrupted
consciousness expressing many different facets.”

Q- Thank you.

Elan- Ah, I have done nothing. Is that helpful?

Q- It clears up a lot, but you know in every book that I've

read, Ego is separated, it's almost like we shouldn't have one.

Elan- Alright, but does that logically, to use your own

language, “make sense?"

Q- No!

224
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- Alright, therefore, all of these books are valid. All of
them attract the readers that are willing to express themselves
in those terms that resonate with what the book is offering. They
are completely valid, completely worthy, have the right and
reason to exist ... but you make your own decision, and you can
make that decision according to what makes sense to you, or
you can build up the volume of these books as evidence of
another idea.

You can also look at the people who write them, the
people who speak in such a way and see whether "pushing it off
to the left" has had any positive affect in their expressed reality,
from your estimation.

My approach, which is absolutely no better than any

other approach, I honor them all equally, is to always grant
myself, through complete unconditional self-love, the most
integrated way of assuming that reality is an expression of
myself. And therefore, I do not have a tendency to cordon off
expressed ideas into parts and compartments, because I
understand that, as you say, “no matter how you slice it," if I am
cordoning myself from myself, I can only get a result that
displays that dis-integration. Is that a little clearer?

Q- So, in order to integrate or just keep it integrated, our

Ego is just a focusing tool.

Elan- That is the way to define it where you can use it in

positive terms and not separate yourself out into individual parts
which will run contrary ... if your goal is integration, personal
integration. And if you should define something as a part of
yourself ... if you then give it, as you say, an "attitude" and then
cast it out ... even in your own definition, it's not going to like that
and you're, as you say, very literally "setting yourself up.”

225
 Your Power on a Plate
If you leave out what you perceive to be one part of
yourself, you are not integratively expressing yourself. You are
saying —"nothing is extraneous except you, oh Ego," which is an
approach which also has an effect. If you embrace and redefine
and reassign because you are the one doing all the allowing,
your ego did nothing to you, you created an instance, defined
your ego, gave it a role, interacted with it in a particular way, but
it was all you allowing, though perhaps not quite purposefully.

So, allow anything that seems to stand out in relief as an

individual entity to also be part and to have purpose - purposeful
allowance. Alright?

Q- Thank you.

Elan- Ah, I thank you as well!

A JOYOUS DECISION TO BE HERE?
"IT FELT MORE LIKE COMMITTING TO A PRISON TERM"
(Shifting your vibration — to match what I am saying.)

Q- I’m not quite sure how to word this question...

Elan- Alright, next question!

Q- Ha ha. If you could read my mind that would help.

Elan- I, in that sense you telempathically, but I won't in

this case. For the idea is that your words in your reality, in your
society, in your culture, are the expression of your beliefs and it
would be a disservice, in that sense, to jump the gun. So simply
remove the assumption that you don't know what you're going
to say and say it.

Q- It has to do with being here in a grounded way. I'm

recently understanding my commitment ... that I had to make a
commitment to actually be here this time around and with that
commitment ...

Elan- By the way, it was a bit more of a joyous decision

than you are expressing. It was the idea that there was
something to be had, something to be experienced that is very
unique, with a lot of what you would call excited energy behind
it.

And I simply draw this out, not in any way to point you
out, not in any way to embarrass you ... but to give you the
feeling, in even the asking of your question, of the sense of joyful
expression, of what you generally refer to as the "soul," in
choosing this type of expression. Now the idea of committing
may have been many decisions that you've made since. Do go
on.

Q- I appreciate what you just said on a deep level.

227
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- Oh, thank you. Still a “level” but nevertheless ...
more integrative, I suppose.

Q- On a less deep level, it felt a little bit like committing

to a prison term.

Elan- Ah, that is what I was addressing ... and by the way,
if you decide that, needless to say, that apparency will be
forthcoming and perhaps has been ... from time to time.

Q- Okay, so where I've been coming to is the joy part. but

... the problem I seem to have is something to do with - I've
experienced what it feels like to be here with complete energy,
feeling, I don't know, grounded, very grounded and in that place
it's very joyful to be here and it's very easy. But ... I find that I don't
know how ... either I lose my groundedness, I lose some of my
energy ... I would like to be here in that full energy, grounded way
more often, without this up and down drain. Does that make
sense?

Elan- Do you find that your fluctuating energy level

corresponds to decisions and interpretations that you have in a
given moment? Let me answer the question to say “yes.” And
therefore, this is what we are really discussing in this interaction
... allowing yourself to have that reaction, allowing yourself to
feel that fatigue, allowing it to play out, then standing up,
brushing yourself off, realigning ... reminding, and since the
decision is excited expression ... then seeking, allowing from
what's available, one idea to stand out in relief as being the most
exciting thing. For it is not participating in exciting events that are
representative of who you define yourself to be, that actually
causes fatigue, it is resisting those exciting things, assuming
that things that are not representative of who you are, will
support you more than the exciting things that are
representative of who you are, that can be absolutely
exhausting.
228
 Your Power on a Plate
Q- So you're not saying it’s related to food?

Elan- You can, in that sense, play around with that

apparency. In my estimation, from the "deepest level," as you
have said that you are asking this question from, no, it does not.
And in fact, you will actually find, as you express yourself
according to preference, in excited terms, allowing things to be
exciting ... that what you eat is actually a result of that and not
the other way around. Does that make sense?

Q- Yes, so in the very present, now ... I might see the food
connection and think it might be the cause of the depletion in
energy, but in fact we're talking about two different concepts?

Elan- If you are willing to look at it as the effect, then you

can get down or back to the business of being causal. And do
understand, when you first asked the question, I will take the
liberty of saying that you did not sound very excited ...
“committing” to your reality and so forth. Is that correct?

Q- Uh, huh.

Elan- As you began to just merely entertain what I have

said, for instance that it was did you not experience energy and
alignment ... physically, palpably?

Q- Yeah, I'd say it was yours.

Elan- Ah, alright, thank you very much. But that is a

disservice to yourself, and the entire point I am making is that
you have sat in that chair, gone nowhere, simply shifted your
thinking, aligned to entertaining empowered ideas ... energy
level immediately came up. And nothing occurred other than
you, shifting your vibration to match what I am saying, which you
can only do because you first contain it ... which you can only
make any sense of because you are also it ... all of you.

229
 Your Power on a Plate
Q- So when I'm with certain people that I ... I don't know
how to say, that can hold more energy ... that are maybe
vibrating at a higher level ... I ...

Elan- You are "vibrating at the higher level" and allowing

yourself to see external reflections of it ... though the apparency
may be the other way around.

Q- Okay, so why does this feel like there's more energy

when someone else like that is present, or you?

Elan- Well, very, very literally it is because how you are

choosing to define and express it. As you had said to me ... "I feel
it is your energy.” ... you're giving your power away to me. Now I
will not accept it, but your apparency will be you have gotten
energy from me. In fact, that is absolutely impossible. You
vibrate and experience the results of your own vibration.
Something comes along which is most attractive for you, no
energy is transferred from my direction (so-to-speak, since I'm
not really sitting here) to your direction. You match that
vibration, you become that person ... you feel the results of
being that person. Which is a wonderful illustration of everything
we are discussing.

You have gone nowhere, no circumstances changed and

yet simply entertaining an idea, but for a fleeting moment ...
changes the way you sit, changes the way you speak, changes
the way you seem to feel. All this cues you into understanding
that it's actually coming from you. And when you are willing to
embrace that and in fact grab it by the horns (so-to-speak) and
express it ... everything will become a reflection of that energetic
self and even individuals who seem to, alright, mope around will
suddenly become quite lively. Individuals who absolutely refuse
to match that vibration will simply seem to move away from you.

230
 Your Power on a Plate
Q- Okay, so when people talk about the power of energy
in a group ... as opposed to a single person's energy...

Elan- It is largely an illusion. It is my perspective that you

only ever feel the energy you create ... and you allow different
templates or models or frameworks to fashion that energy
around, but it is your energy and ultimately the framework,
template or model is also you. So even if you were to say, "well,
I completely do not accept that this is my energy, it's your
energy, Elan", well, the jokes on you; I am you. Do you
understand the point of view?

Q- I do.

Elan- How does that feel?

Q- It feels good, but I need to press it just one more

minute...

Elan- Press away!

Q- ... to press the point again, so then it can be ... it is an

illusion, if I buy into it, that the power in a group is much greater
for transformation than my power alone?

Elan- Then you can use that to express your power, by all
means, but it is still emanating from you. And ironically the
group energy, no matter how you are defining it ... will only be
palpable to you to the degree that you mimic or create your own
version of it. So, the same mechanism still exists, it's just how
you experience it and where you allow your power to seem to
express itself, that will seem to shift, from your point of view. So,
if it seems more comfortable to have the group elevate you, by
all means, allow yourself to express elevation in that way ... but
remember, because of the way that you create other individuals,
you are then at the whims of their particular expressions and
perhaps from your viewpoint, peculiarities.
231
 Your Power on a Plate
So, it is another valid way to expand your
consciousness, but still contains a few pitfalls and now you
become dependent on external sources ... all the while, it is you
expressing your power very creatively.

Q- That's perfect.

Elan- Ah, that is the idea ... you are all a perfect reflection
of whatever it is you are expressing in any given moment.
Perhaps you will now pardon yourself and enjoy your new …
parole.

TUMULTUOUS OCCURRENCE IN YOUR LIFE?
IF THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU, CLOSE YOUR EARS
(You reach a threshold where there is an acceleration of your
transformation.)

Alright, allow me to say before we continue with the

interaction, perhaps, just perhaps recently you may have found
tumultuous occurrences in your life, things not going quite
according to your preference, a cascading effect of many things
which seem to challenge your determination to express yourself
in preferred terms.

Now if his does not apply to you, please by all means,

close your ears, we'll call you back when we're done. But the
idea is simply this ... in many ways, as you begin to transform,
you reach and create a threshold ... a threshold at which there
is an acceleration of your transformation. A very tenuous time
indeed is this acceleration, for the acceleration seems to have
the effect of supporting your decisions more fully. And
therefore, if your decisions sway back and forth, swing from side
to side, swerve all over the road, then the fulfillment of those
decisions on what you call the "reality-based level" is quite
swift.

And therefore, if you are still using negative

interpretation as evidence, and continually making decisions
based on that, you will find a seeming "cascade" of negative
seeming synchronicity and circumstance.

All of this hinges back to what we are discussing this

evening of allowing yourself to have the initial interpretation ...
allowing yourself to notice that perhaps this is not the most
positive thing (or the most positive seeming outcome) and
reminding yourself that it is not the one extraneous thing in the

233
 Your Power on a Plate
entire Universe and that you can actually use it to reinforce your
new preferred self-decision.

Consistency in decision, the allowance of consistency

in your decision-making process, is the tool ... is the hinge that
will allow you to feel the change, to feel the difference. The same
old interpretation through the old lens will yield the same old
seeming decision, same old seeming allowance, and same old
seeming negative circumstance. But the willingness to use
these (and I use the word very literally) "apparencies" to
reinforce your new decision, to not act while having a reaction
or a response, allowing yourself to have that reaction and then
re-aligning to your new decision and then acting ... that is the
hinge, that is the tool.

If you proceed with the assumption that your reality

must contain a percentage of miscellaneous, extraneous things
... you will, through your accelerated transformation seem to
constantly attract them. Your willingness to allow yourself to
remain focused and use "it," whatever "it" is, to your advantage,
creates and maintains the positive shift.

Therefore, if you seem to have a corresponding,

continual result that has things coming up that were not as you
expected, not what you desired ... assume that to be more
important than what you thought you wanted, than what you
thought you wanted to do. Allow the unexpected thing that
comes up to do to be more important, to be the feedback from
reality that now that you have made this decision to be this new
preferred person ... then things are going to change ... your
approach is going to change ... the way that you approach a
situation is going to change ... everything is changed.

And so therefore, allowing the reality to provide

opportunities to do things that you did not plan on doing, is an
expression of changing right now ... being spontaneous,
234
 Your Power on a Plate
allowing the unexpected to be a gift ... a jewel, rather than an
interruption.

Perhaps, to go one step farther, diving in and inviting

unexpected outcome and then boldly acting upon the
opportunities that it brings, rather than lamenting, "I wanted to
do this, instead, this is here, woe is me.” It is actually that "woe
is me, it is not happening. Things are not going according to my
desires,” those assumptions that seem to create this cascading
affect ... rather than… “Ah... fascinating!!! I had on my agenda to
do this thing today, but I can't do that now, because this has
come up.” Alright, am I going to focus and lament on 'that I can't
do that now' or am I going to just assume that it just might be
possible that the thing that has come up is more conducive, and
will actually yield a faster more direct result than what I
assumed to be the thing I need to be doing?" This creates an
immediate shift in outcome.

And creating a harmonious balance with what is present

and using your creations that are present ... not needing to be so
sculpturing and structuring and controlling about exactly what
is happening and exactly what you will do on a given day, all boils
down to purposeful allowance, allowing what's there to be a
reflection of your new decision and diving immediately into how
you can use that, how you can put that into action...
understanding if the thing you wish to do that is no longer
available is still important, the opportunity to do it will "come
around again," and when it does, it will be even easier to do than
you had assumed it would be right now.

A lot of this is simply trusting purposefully, for you

always trust, you always have faith ... always ... always ...
always. Remember, what you call "doubt," is not a lack of trust
... it is an Infinite trust in a negative outcome, an Infinite trust in
the thing you say you do not prefer. And therefore, you can, as
235
 Your Power on a Plate
you purposefully allow ... purposefully trust nothing is
extraneous, something that is unexpected has a pearl within it.
And this particular idea can allow you, from this moment
forward ... to no longer feel the need to "beat yourselves up.”

Now, those of you who that did not apply to, may now
come back into the room, unplug your ears ... we will proceed
with the sharing, with a female.

LET GO AND RELAX
HEAR WHAT THE MESSENGER HAS TO DELIVER
("you're resisting ... you're resisting ... you're resisting.”)

Q- I just wanted to say that was beautiful what you just

said, and I understood it all and I thank you. I just need some
validation on this...

Elan- Alright, do understand, and I will be more than

happy to provide what you are asking, that ultimately it is your
agreement to whatever I am about to say that will be the
validation.

Q- Okay, I received nearly every answer I had been

looking for tonight, by the way, too. I was just diagnosed with
hypoglycemia. I did a 5-hour glucose test and I've been
struggling with ... that the worries and concerns about my diet in
relation to my physical and my emotional health ...

Elan- Alright, before you proceed, struggling and

worrying are not open, receptive postures to allow you to simply
express yourself in the most fruitful terms. So, first of all, my first
suggestion would be to let go, nothing to worry about ... nothing
to struggle. Secondly ... when you are going about your business
expressing yourself purposefully, according to the terms of who
you know yourself to be ... all of these details ... eating, sleeping,
exercise are automatic, you attract them, and if you will but
begin to trust the intelligence of your so called "body," which is
really just your consciousness in contracted terms, so-to-
speak. The worrying and the doubt are a closing down ... and by
allowing yourself to attract effortlessly whatever sustenance
would be most beneficial to you ... that is the conducive open
posture. Does that make sense?

Q- Okay, so you're saying that if I let go and relax, the

proper, uh...
237
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- First of all, worrying is an unexpressed action, it is
something you allow yourself to continue to do. So perhaps
firstly you may wish to reorganize that thinking ... so that now
you are simply taking care of business ... not worrying, because
worrying always has this background, underlying notion that
"something's going to get you.” So, nothing is going to get you, if
indeed you understand that your life is an effortless reflection of
who you choose to be.

Q- So do I have the full capabilities to create perfect

physical and emotional health within myself?

Elan- Absolutely, you all do.

Q- No matter what I would eat or drink, so-to-speak?

Elan- You may find as you do so, what you eat or drink is
a result, again, not the cause. Understand, the idea of eating is
largely symbolic. You are an Infinite Being, you have no
beginning, middle and ending ... so the idea of external
sustenance is a temporary exploration. Your body exists within
your consciousness, not the other way around and your body is
an expression of your consciousness.

So, even any particular condition that you can share with
me is an expression of consciousness. Generally, in that case ...
you're simply not allowing yourself to be natural with yourself
and are instead creating a dichotomy ... and you can simply
realign yourself to who you are and everything else "falls into
place.” As you transform your consciousness your body
transforms. There is a vast approach in physical reality, that
individuals need to prepare their body, change their body,
transform their body ... to now allow for the expansion of their
consciousness. And this apparency can be experienced ... but it
is illusory. Truly, first comes the shift in consciousness, then

238
 Your Power on a Plate
comes the shift in body, so also remind yourself of that. Is this
helpful?

Q- Yes.

Elan- Is there anything else?

Q- Um, I injured my spine a number of years ago and I

truly believe I have the power to heal myself and to believe that
it just is no longer there, I guess I just want some validation on
that also?

Elan- Alright, do you still feel what you call "pain?"

Q- Yes.

Elan- Do you ascribe that pain to a past injury?

Q- Yes.

Elan- Can you perhaps entertain the idea of each

instance of that pain being completely in the moment, with no
past, and looking at what it means in that moment ... looking at
how it reinforces your decision in that moment, and looking at
what it allows you the opportunity to do in that moment.

Q- Okay.

Elan- Can that approach at least be something you

might be willing to express?

Q- Yes.

Elan- Alright, you will notice a difference if you do so, for

it is not truly, again, something that happened in the past that is
causing the pain now ... you create the pain now and very
strongly identify it with the past, which is the only thing that
creates the relationship.

Q- Okay.
239
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- Now, I understand that seems to be a bit odd for
your general mass consciousness way of thinking, but
nevertheless it is the mechanism. And by continuing to assign a
past, you get the absolute seeming effect that you had an injury
and what you are feeling now is from that injury and you
perpetuate it, to whatever degree you do. But you do not need
to, and it can simply be treating it in the moment as something
that has to do with something that's going on right now with you
and not the past. Then things will stand out as to what's going on
right now, "well, why might I feel pain right now, pain is
resistance, what am I resisting, right now?” Forget yesterday,
forget the day before, forget the injury, instead ask yourself,
"What am I resisting, right now?" If you're willing to be in the
moment, if you're willing to put that baggage aside, always will
you find something, right now ... that you are obviously resisting.
Alternatively, and this is also not your usual societal approach
to discomfort or dis-ease, you can ask yourself “What is this
pain allowing me to do that I would not have done without it?
What is it preventing me from doing?” Exploring these ideas will
also open up new doors of understanding and awareness about
why you have created those symptoms and conditions.
Exploring all of these ideas and looking for how EVERYTHING
serves you, even the discomfort, gives you new opportunities to
transform this style of messenger.

Then the pain has been embraced as a messenger. Then

you will begin to address the things you are resisting and allow
them as you begin to change your approach to no longer need to
create the messenger to show you ... "you're resisting ... you're
resisting ... you're resisting.” Do you understand?

Q- Yes, thank you.

Elan- Well, thank you, I've done nothing.

240
 Your Power on a Plate
THE WHOLE IS YOU
BELIEVING IS SEEING
(A statement.)

Q- Thank you Elan, a question not a statement ... or

both?

Elan- Well that was a question and a statement, now,

wasn't it?

Q- Perhaps if you will allow me ... a statement.

Elan- Alright, thank you. We honor the idea of someone

willing to put something forth, purposefully ... as an expression
of who they are. Do proceed.

Q- Okay, in that we are "mirrored balls," it's important to

recognize, it seems to me, that we "mirror" to a great extent what
is current in the "mass consciousness" ... yet often it's not
understood clearly what "mass consciousness" is.

Mass consciousness, in my view, has a basis in certain

doctrines...

Elan- By the way, it does because you say so, for you,
just to keep it on an empowered basis. Do proceed.

Q- Okay, currently our civilization appears to be based

upon a basal paradigm I call "materialistic scientism.”

Elan- Define.

Q- "Scientism" being ... science as a religion.

Elan- Alright. "Seeing is believing" ... yes?

Q- "Seeing is believing," yes.

Elan- Alright, proceed.

241
 Your Power on a Plate
Q- "Materialism" being the idea that only the material is
really real.

Elan- Alright, "seeing is believing.”

Q- Okay. In terms of specifics, it is the "Darwinisms" that

constitute the basal paradigms: Classical Darwinism, 1859 ...
Social Darwinism which expresses as state socialism in our
century ... and New Darwinism. In the view of the Neo Darwinists
(our orthodox biologists) life is a "struggle.” These guys see even
the genetics as involved in a struggle for dominance. So, that is
what our mass consciousness is, currently.

Elan- Alright, a valid way to describe one version of it. Do

proceed.

Q- Um, I think what is coming is a new basal paradigm. I

call it "scientific wholism” ...

Elan- One moment ... "basal ... basic ... underlying ...
paradigm ... change.” Do proceed ... defining terms.

Q- Right on. I believe that the new terms in the paradigm

will be understood in this way: Creator ... being the wave form of
“All-That-Is.” Creation ... the particulate or particular form of
“All-That-Is.” The process of one becoming the other, involving
desire/allowance where "desire" is definable as an expression
of purpose, the whole process summarized in a phrase:
"purposeful allowance.”

Elan- Alright, if indeed you define Creator as "wave

form," what creates the wave form in that model?

Q- I believe the wave form is the primary thing.

Elan- Is that separate from the idea of “Creator?" Are you

perhaps speaking about vesicles of physical Creatorhood,

242
 Your Power on a Plate
specifically, when referring to it as "wave form" as opposed to
Primary Creator?

Q- Possibly, I'm using the analogy of light having

basically two forms, wave form and particulate...

Elan- Understood.

Q- The visible or physical Universe is a “particulate”

aspect of “The All-That-Is” or “The Creator Wave.”

Elan- I understand the analogy, what is its usefulness ...

what is its purpose?

Q- To collapse the separateness between the idea of

Creator and Creation.

Elan- How does defining one as a "wave" and one as a

"particle" do that? Does that not perpetuate the separation? Is
another way to look at it, not at all invalidating what you are
saying, is to understand that "particle" and "wave" are simply
different aspects of the same phenomenon ... both of which
emanate from Creator ... and within which there can be
seemingly vesicles of "separate" (so-to-speak, in terms of
physical reality), “creation vesicles.” Another way to look at this
is that the wavelength state represents the field of all
possibilities and is an Infinite expression, while the photon, the
particulate expression, represents the physicalized aspect and
is the aspect of the observation, the observer and is the finite
expression, so-to-speak.

Q- Okay...

Elan- Those of you who feel that this is very “technical.”

... bear with us.

Q- Yes, I can see that.

243
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- Alright, describe then the result of our new
paradigm, as you describe it.

Q- The result is the clear understanding ... as basis of

mass consciousness, that ... each of us is part of the same one
whole or “All-That-Is.”

Elan- Would not, perhaps, the next step in realization be

the idea that the whole is you, without any longer relegating
yourself to simply "part" of a larger whole?

Q- Yes, I have that too and that would fall in line with the
idea that the "memory" of the whole system would be encoded
in each particular aspect of the system.

Elan- Ah, "holographic model," understood.

Q- Understood. So, as this New Basal Paradigm comes

into existence, it will be...

Elan- By the way, just to get technical ... it’s not new. But
do proceed.

Q- Okay.

Elan- It has been occurring in versions, pockets, and

aspects throughout physical reality, throughout all of what you
call "time.” I understand that it is generally, from the way that
you are laying down this discussion ... a new approach to what
you are referring to as "mass consciousness" ... which I assume
your definition of is "the conglomerate energy of individuals.”

Q- That's right.

Elan- Alright. Do proceed.

Q- This is truly scientific ... I believe it will be so much

easier for each of us to realize whatever ambitions we might
have, more and more on an accelerated basis.
244
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- So can we then summarize this idea to be ...
previously and here-to-fore, the approach of the "mass " has
been "seeing is believing.” The new idea that you are beginning
to in that sense express and expand toward is 'believing is
seeing' period.

Q- Okay.

Elan- I thank you.

At this timing, allow me for the first time and once again,
to thank you all for your willingness to allow me to interact and
reflect back to you who you already are and what you already
contain. I will simply close this section by saying that it is your
"allowance" ... you earned it ... spend it any way you wish.

Chapter Seven

Feedback From Your Reality

You are all perfect, a perfect reflection of whatever it is

you are exploring in any given moment. Allow me to entitle this
section, "Feedback from your Reality.”

As we have discussed many times, in many forms, you

are pure consciousness expressing yourself in linear terms ...
expressing yourself as a Physical Being, doing this so
convincingly that you actually believe it. Very creative!

In expressing yourself in this manner, there is, most

usually, a particular mechanism through which you focus your
consciousness that allows you to experience yourself as a
Physical Being in a physical world ... and thereby having a so-
called "experience.”

Understand, from our perspective, that you are all these

things, and they actually exist within you, but the apparency is
that you exist within a reality. In that light, you focus your

247
 Your Power on a Plate
consciousness to express and to experience what you call your
"physical life", your physical experience in each and every
moment, right now, which is truly the only time that exists, in the
most fundamental terms.

In each and every moment, in what you consider an

"automatic" fashion, you focus your consciousness in a series
of steps ... that then result in your life, in your reality, that result
in your experience having a certain flavor, a certain meaning,
with certain parameters.

In each and every given moment you decide who you

are, that is, Step One of the mechanism. Step Two, is that you
trust, or you invest a consistency in having that decision stick,
you fully trust in that decision. Step Three is the idea that you
then act which is “your most accepted notion" of what creates
physically in the physical world ... your actions.

When you decide who you are, you "automatically"

create yourself in the moment you are deciding, to be that
person ... across the board. And when you vacillate that
decision, this is why many times your reality seems to fluctuate,
seems to change. But when you make that decision, in the very
moment you decide you are that person, you are being that
decision. At least in that moment.

What you choose ... what your decision is ... is what you
are being, what you subsequently trust in, and then, if you
remain focused and conscious about it, your actions then
reflect that decision. And therefore, your actions produce an
effect that is consistent with that decision, in the way that you
create your physical life.

What we would now like to direct your attention to, is the

idea that your reality, although it is you ... although it actually
comes from you and is an expression of you ... still to some
248
 Your Power on a Plate
degree can initially still have the apparency of being external, to
allow for the ideas of reflection ... of knowing ... of mentality. And
therefore, one of the ways that you can perceive that your reality
reflects back to you any idea, in any given moment, is as
“feedback.”

The way we use the term "reflection" implies that what

comes back to you is always a reflective representation of what
you have put out ... who you are being ... who you have decided
that you are. And so therefore, what you perceive as "coming
back" is the feedback from your reality.

Generally speaking, as a simplification, individuals will

interpret the feedback in one of two ways. Now there are an
Infinite number of ways that you may actually interpret it, but to
illustrate the point, we will simply narrow it down to two.

1. You trust that the feedback reinforces your decision, or:

2. You trust that the feedback negates or shows evidence
contrary to your decision.

How you interpret that feedback, ultimately, is what

allows you to either maintain a preferred, desirable decision or
seem to allow yourself to be "strayed back" (although that is an
illusion) to perhaps a more disempowered, older outdated
decision.

So, it all boils down to your willingness to use whatever

you perceive as coming back to you in the form of feedback as a
reinforcement, as evidence for why your decision has "stuck," is
in fact registered, and is now who you are. And this can take a bit
of persistence, a bit of consistency, before you actually seem to
prove to yourself that all feedback, no matter what it appears to
be on the surface, always reinforces your decision.

249
 Your Power on a Plate
If your decision is now conscious, in other words, rather
than randomly allowing circumstances to dictate who you are …
you can allow your decision to stick by trusting that your
decision has indeed registered ... across the board you can then
have the feedback that comes back to you always reinforcing
the positive decision, no matter what it looks like.

Now, where the ingenuity, the creativity and the

persistence come in, is your willingness in a moment, where
feedback would appear on the surface to be contrary to your
decision ... at that point … you can, "make or break" your
decision. If the feedback seems to be contrary to your decision,
you always have the option to simply “re-mind” yourself that
although it appears to run contrary, your circumstances ... your
experience ... your relationships and anything else, that it still
has to be a direct feedback of the positive decision.

All feedback has the ability to be always interpreted from

the entire range of perspective all the way from the most
negative to the most positive, for the situations themselves are
fundamentally neutral with no built-in meaning, they are as a set
of props.

If you attach meaning that is inconsistent with your new

preferred decision about who you are now, then it can seem to
be evidence that your decision simply did not register, or that
perhaps you do not “create your own reality.” But if you choose
to look further, if you choose to go beyond the surface if you
choose to "dive in" to finding how "even this" particular
feedback, though it may appear contrary, has to be supportive
of your decision ... you can begin to look at how the feedback
serves you, reinforces, supports the new decision, as opposed
to how it refutes it, or how it seems to nullify your decision. You
can choose to look at the feedback only through the lens of the
new belief.
250
 Your Power on a Plate
And always, will all situations, all feedback contains the
ability to say either, "Why is this happening to me?" or "How can
this serve me?" And an even more empowered way to examine
the feedback from the lens of your new decision is to always ask
yourself, in any situation, "How does this serve me exactly the
way it is?"

This will allow you to begin to use everything, including

the seeming negative evidence, to reinforce your new positive
decision, and to continue to support yourself, to fortify the new
decision itself. By being willing to not simply "settle" for what's
on the surface, if feedback does appear initially negative, and
being willing to probe further into how that feedback is not only
a reinforcement of your decision but is essential to occur in
order for you to fully express your decision ... that particular
approach is the approach that allows you to very quickly
transform even the negative apparency of the feedback.

For when you use all the feedback, no matter what it

appears to be on the surface, to reinforce and support your
positive decision, then the feedback itself, the "nature" of the
feedback ... your relationship to the feedback ... completely
changes and transforms.

And the result is, when you are consistent, never

allowing the feedback to talk you out of your decision, that you
will begin to even see the nature of the feedback change ...
where the feedback will no longer even seem on the surface to
refute your decision, will no longer seem, even on the surface to
prove to you that indeed you do not create your own reality and
are "fooling yourself.” The feedback will eventually cease to ever
seem negative anymore.

And so, the simple statement, "How does this serve me

exactly the way it is?" is the first step toward using all of yourself
to express yourself more fully. I say the "first step" because the
251
 Your Power on a Plate
"second step" is to truly act as though you "really" are
committed to believing that, and that takes the form of ... listen
up, of actually appreciating, and feeling gratification at the
feedback for coming in the form that it has, allowing you to look
at whatever it is, it is allowing you to look at to reinforce your
decision.

And when you are willing, not facetiously, not

sarcastically, but sincerely and honestly, to thank the negative
seeming feedback and feel that appreciation, feel that
gratitude, then you are truly expressing in action the idea that
you are no longer able to be talked out of who you are by anyone
... anything ... any circumstance ... any relationship, period,
because it is a conscious decision that is generated for you ... by
you ... and allows you to then express more of yourself. Another
way to look at this is, when you are simply willing upon
consciously deciding who you are to honor everything that
comes your way and use it in a positive way - you are literally
using more of yourself. You are being a more full and authentic
version of who you choose to be.

Another way to put this, is that you are expressing

yourself more fully, you are understanding yourself as a Creator,
choosing to create a physical experience which has certain
parameters, certain seeming limitations in terms of occurring
before ... during ... after, in terms of occurring in a time frame,
but truly, the other limitations that you perceive hold you back
from being who you are ... simply transform. For ... nothing ...
nothing ... nothing can hold you back from who you are, except
you.

And no matter what the reason you may have for finally
agreeing, "I cannot be who I am," you ultimately decide this, you
ultimately make that decision, you assume that that decision
sticks... you decide, "Well, I can’t be who I am," you trust... “I
252
 Your Power on a Plate
can't be who I am” and finally you act like, “I can't be who I am"
and then the feedback comes back very blatantly to reinforce ...
"well you are wasting your time on the 'creating your own reality'
path to begin with.”

And so therefore, even then, even should you choose the

most disempowered path ... you are still using your power, you
are still using this same methodology, the same way of focusing
your consciousness and expressing yourself, to actually prove
to yourself that you have no power. Another irony.

However, to remind yourself that you always are using

that power (even when you are expressing it as complete
powerlessness) can sometimes be the key that will allow you, in
any given moment to have a chuckle and re-align to the idea that
"no matter what I do ... I’m going to decide something anyway"
"I’m going to decide, I’m going to trust, I’m going to act.” "So, if I
have that be a conscious expression of my preference and
conscious knowingness then my life will be a purposeful
conscious statement, if I am willing to decide consciously.”

Then there is no idea of a "subconscious" that can have

any effect on you. For ultimately you designate yourself as the
decision maker, and so even if there were the idea of choices
that came your way, even if they seem to "come from within.” ...
it is still you, the conscious self that decides, “Yes ... I will buy
into that" or "no ... I will not buy into that.”

And so therefore, you ... the conscious self … are always

the power, the creation, the experience, the perception of the
experience ... and more literally you are the observer, you are the
observed, and all together the observer and the observed are
one event ... all you.

So therefore, perhaps you can say, you can't really "get

away from yourself," no matter who you talk to ... no matter
253
 Your Power on a Plate
where you go ... no matter what you do, for ... it is all you,
reflecting back to yourself who you are, in seemingly a given
isolated moment of time. I say "seemingly" because you also
have an "Infinite expression" of consciousness (but we will go
into that another time).

Therefore, the feedback from your reality always

reinforces who you are, who you have decided to be, and if that
decision is conscious, purposeful, and pointed ... then the
feedback has a conscious ... purposeful ... and pointed ...
reflection, though not always on the surface. And sometimes
what is on the surface may seem to obscure the actual
reinforcement, and this is where we simply suggest that you
take for granted that nothing is extraneous, that everything is
part of who you are, and there is nothing that is outside or
interrupting.

Therefore, whatever the circumstance, it has to contain

within it a positive reinforcement that you can use to strengthen
your resolve ... to strengthen your decision, your trust and
ultimately your actions.

Before we proceed to what you call the Interaction,

allow me to also simply reiterate the following ... when you
perceive the feedback from your reality to be negative and then
you have an emotional response to that, which is generally a
negative emotion, we have mentioned and suggested that you
do not act until you re-align to your positive decision. But I'd like
to re-emphasize that "by all means" it is necessary to allow
yourself to fully experience whatever your most natural
emotional response is.

In other words, if your emotional response seems to run

contrary to your decision, allow it to "run its course" ... allow
yourself to feel that way until you no longer do. We have
suggested to not act, to not respond outwardly, but by all means
254
 Your Power on a Plate
... do express it to yourself and allow yourself to feel and express
it fully. For when you do, it passes. When you don't, you have this
sense that you are squelching yourself. And you have that sense
because you are.

So therefore, it is all well and good to notice, "I am having

a negative emotion, alright, I will have it, for I understand I can't
'deny' anything, this is part of my feedback and once I allow
myself to have it, rather than resist having it, the emotion will
pass and then I can realign, and I will re-align consciously.” Not
out of denial of an initial response or reaction that you have.

And so therefore, by all means ... if feedback appears

negative feel whatever you feel. Allowing yourself to feel it will
generally have it resolve itself within but a "a few of your
minutes.” Resisting it, saying, "I shouldn't feel that way, anyone
who is enlightened does not feel that way" will prolong it,
sometimes for "a really long time.”

So, the idea is you need not act, allowing a negative

emotion to dictate your outward response, which will have an
effect ... but by all means, feel the reaction and do not deny it.
For the irony is, even that negative emotional response, are you
listening? Yes? Even that negative emotional response
reinforces the positive decision.

Although the interpretation that caused that negative

emotionality is a nuance of interpreting the situation through the
lens of an old, outdated belief, by allowing yourself to feel it,
rather than avoiding it (which would have been the continuance
of the older approach) your re-action to that emotion will be
different. And allowing it to play out and then acting, after you
have re-aligned to your new decision, will have all your actions
being a more distinguishable reflection of your new decision.

255
 Your Power on a Plate
Yet another way to put this is, you can use it all, nothing
can talk you out of who you are, until you fall into agreement with
it. But ultimately, that agreement is the very decision (that we
have discussed) as the foundational consciousness focusing
approach to how you create yourself in each and every given
moment. It always starts with deciding, "I am this person ... in
this moment ", whether you say it like that, or whether it is
"automatic" that goes on. And by having it become conscious
and living it to be conscious ... eventually there will not even be
a tendency to need to even say these things to yourself for you
will run on automatic but consciously. This may sound
paradoxical, but it is so.

In other words, it will simply be effortless and automatic

to maintain your positive decision, particularly when you use
any negative feedback, allow it to transform, and start to notice
even the feedback is primarily, eventually even on the surface ...
positive. And all this takes are commitment and persistence for
a relatively short amount of time.

And that would be my promise to you. If you are willing

consistently (it must be consistent because of the way you
create yourself as a linear Being) to use all the feedback that
comes back to you that you have formerly labeled "negative” to
see how it actually reinforces your decision, then the nature of
the feedback will change and the so called things that seem
negative that you needed to re-label and use to re-align will
seem to recede and almost entirely disappear in your life.
Therefore, understanding this, understanding that everything
can be viewed as a re-enforcement of your decision, though
sometimes you need to employ a little ingenuity to see how and
why it supports it.

Thank you for your willingness to continue to interact

with me and members of my civilization in this way. And thank
256
 Your Power on a Plate
you for your willingness to "stand up tall" and decide who you
are, rather than be "dictated to" and have your decision be
reflective of someone else's idea, or perhaps as you say, “they"
for there seems to be this generic “they" that you all think exists,
that actually is ganging up on you, “they" are not, it is simply you
and therefore always is it up to you to choose who you are, rather
than have it be dictated to you, who you are.

In return for your willingness to share aspects of your

consciousness with me, I thank you deeply, for I also derive a lot
out of these interactions as well and I ask you how we may
mutually be of service to each other through sharing
information. Sharing!

PAT YOURSELF ON THE BACK
A TESTIMONIAL
("You mean to tell me this stuff works?")

Q- Hi Elan, I have a testimonial to give.

Elan- Alright, we do not need one ... but do proceed. I say

that because I know it works.

Q- Speaking about my former back injury ... a couple

days after we had our last session last month...

Elan- Now, before you proceed, for the benefit of those

present, individual had discussed with me of the idea of what
perhaps she was labeling a "chronic pain syndrome" and my
simple suggestion was to address it as occurring in the moment,
not being the same pain as yesterday, not occurring from the
same source or cause as the day before, but it simply being
something that is happening right now ... isolating it into the now
... dealing with it ... transforming it, and allowing it to serve you
in the now. And that would seem to create a dis-continuity in the
same way that you seem to create a chronic situation. Do
proceed.

Q- Well, I chose to believe that it was completely healed,

and to allow events in my life to flow more, rather than resisting
and being aware of ... when the pain would surface ...that I was
resisting something and thus, again, realigning, making the
decision and trusting it and acting on it.

But a couple days after we had the session I ... well

actually, let me get back to ... about 6 months ago, I had started
to run (I love running) and with my back in the condition that it
was, I ended up going to the doctor, the chiropractor in
particular, and it being in like really bad shape after running

258
 Your Power on a Plate
three or four times. Well after listening to your tapes and getting
involved with these concepts ...

Elan- By the way, to simply be more precise ... after

deciding to attract a more powerful and self-empowering point
of view and doing so through whatever means and choosing to
act upon what you had reflected upon. Proceed.

Q- I was able to create a healed back, where I could run

as many times as I wanted without having the back pain come
back and actually today, I'm moving, and I moved probably
about 50 boxes of books and all kinds of things without any pain
in my back and I just wanted to thank you.

Elan- Oh, no thank you necessary. Thank yourself. You

mean to tell me this stuff works?! Amazing!

Q- Yeah...

Elan- By the way, did you thank yourself?

Q-Yes, I did, I do many times.

Elan- Alright, well, let's use the coincidence of language

... go one step further and "pat yourself on the back.”

Q- I have, I have.

"LET'S BE FRANK"
FROM PROZAC TO PIZZA
(These are not voices, they're choices.)

Q- I have been talking here about wanting to get more

fulfilling work or in helping the world become a more loving and
cooperative place and it seems like that is coming about, though
maybe a little bit faster than I expected?

Elan- Ah, watch what you ask for ... you might get it!

Q- Yeah, I know, like ...

Elan- By the way, before you proceed, is that really

possible or are you simply "selling yourself short" in what you
understand you can handle for reality is never created any faster
than you can handle.

And perhaps the feedback here is allowing you to

redefine what you are “ready" for. Assuming that it is moving at
a perfect pace tells you that perhaps you are farther along with
your ability to handle it, than you had assumed.
Congratulations!

Q- Thank you. It's just that it brings up some fear

because what I was doing last year doesn't seem like that's
going to show up ... so I don't have the money from that. But
other things are manifesting, though nothing is solidified yet.

Elan- Alright, when you feel the fear, or as you say, when
the fear is "coming on" ... do you allow yourself, as we have
discussed many times, to feel that fear fully, to allow it to play
out rather than linger? Or have you forgotten that step?

Q- I could do that more.

Elan- Oh, you can do it all the time and when you do and
allow the fear to play out and you might even think to yourself,
260
 Your Power on a Plate
“Alright, I'm not afraid anymore, I allowed myself to be afraid,
I'm tired of it.” “On to the next thing!” Then you can realign. One
other thing that you can do however - understand, very often, in
the cases where you are ascribing you are "fearful," what you
actually are, is "anxious," which is simply very excited and not
trusting it and simply reminding yourself you have every reason
to trust it ... can shift it.

Q- Well, this summer I'm going to work in St. Louis with

[a major company], with senior executives to help them operate
in a more environmentally sustainable manner, and it's a whole
new league for me. I haven't done that level of consulting yet.

Elan- Well, this is the league that you are now in. You
have created yourself in that league ... so you have attracted the
corresponding set of circumstances to allow you to express that
... very similar to what we were saying about the timing. Your
feedback is telling you that you are more than you had assumed
you were. Very exciting!

Q- So I've just got to trust that?

Elan- Well you don't have to, you can absolutely not trust
it and be completely miserable, that’s up to you.

Q- No, I'll trust it.

Elan- The idea is, it is as simple as simply reminding

yourself to trust it, "Ah, this is much faster than I thought, oh,
don't know if I can handle it ... wait a minute, I must be able to
handle it, it's here.” (End of discussion, time to handle it.) And of
course, as we have mentioned, the anticipation can seem to
produce anxiety, but once you are doing the thing, once you are
engaged, once you are being the person, there is no time for fear
... yes?

Q- Yes.
261
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- You are simply doing it.

Q- That's been the experience in the past. That's true.

Elan- So when you feel the fear coming on, either allow
it to play out if it feels like that degree of fear, and realign ... or, if
it seems more like anxiety, remind yourself of what it is ...
actually excitement.

Fear and anxiety are from the same energy. When you
trust it, it feels exciting, when you do not trust it, it feels like
anxiety. So those feelings can point you toward what you are
putting your trust in. Remember the other way of saying that you
do not trust something, is that you actually DO trust that it won’t
work out. You always trust in something. So, these things give
you an opportunity to see what you are placing your trusting in.
Once you know what you are trusting in, you can choose to
reinforce it if that trust is desirable or shift it after you’ve
acknowledged that you’re placing your trust in something you
do not prefer or trusting in a negative outcome. Remember,
these are all decisions. These decisions can all be made
consciously now that you know the mechanism.

Q- Okay, I wanted to ask a few other things. When I'm

feeling fear, one of the things that I used to respond with that is
"compulsive behavior.” Like overeating or being attracted to
women or something. And feeling sometimes ... I, it ... I've felt
like I'm getting drawn more back into that, and a friend the other
night suggested I consider taking Prozac ... Which I totally
recoiled; you know ... I ...

Elan- Alright. Allow us to address the specifics. Each bite

that you take is a decision, you can change your decision at any
given moment. It is no more complicated than that. Therefore,
no matter how it expresses itself, simply get back in touch with
the fact that you are making decisions, trusting them and acting,
262
 Your Power on a Plate
and it simply takes, "Ah, one moment, I was about to take one
more bite than I really need, that is not who I am anymore ... and
I now trust who I am, and the action that corresponds with
trusting that is to put this down and do something else.”

And by the way, that was the third thing ... when you feel
fear ... if it does not fall into the other two categories of allowing
yourself to feel it or realizing that it's the flip side of excitement
... is the idea of getting going, engaging ... it is the hesitation in
the anticipation that is the third reason for the fear. Simply begin
the doing of the thing, and you will be engaged ... and fear will be
no more.

Q- Okay. Can you comment, though, in general about

Prozac? I mean the feelings I have are that it cuts you off from
your soul and urn, people that ... well, I don't know, it seems to
me you're not fully connected with inner ...

Elan- With that definition ... I would suggest not

partaking of it.

Q- No, I'm not going to.

Elan- But the idea is that it does depend on what your

definition is, of what you would expect it to accomplish.
However, no matter what you expect it to accomplish, it is in a
sense ... you, not completely willing to grant yourself power, and
to some degree saying, "I must have this external thing to be
complete.”

The very act of engaging in that is an act that reflects a

decision of not being complete. And even in what you call the
clinical aspects of your reality, it is not my perception that this
would be constructive for you in any way.

Q- Not for me, but just in general, some people report

greatly improved satisfaction with life on it and I ...
263
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- Alright, I understand, but we are discussing you.

Q- I was just asking as a general question though.

Elan- Again, as many different situations as there are

individuals. But always, will it have the hint of ... "I am not
complete" ... and always will you then (when you set up such an
elaborate scenario) create a need for something externally that
could, supposedly, possibly "run out.”

Q- Okay, another thing ...

Elan- So, being on your own steam is far more

constructive for what it is you have chosen to do ...

Q- That's how I feel.

Elan- And remembering, if you feel that your behavior is

compulsive, that that is part of an elaborate decision-making
process, and that you can, in any given moment, interrupt that
tendency ... and realign to the positive decision of who you are.

Q- Okay, well that's going to get to my next question ...

the concept of the Super Ego. I've been looking at that and I know
how you say that we're all one part, or whatever, we're all
connected ... but ...

Elan- You are 100 % Beings, yes, even though you often
will expend 90 % of your energy to make it seem as though you
are only using 10%.

Q- Well, in terms of the concept of the Superego that I've

been studying, says that as children we kind of pick up cues
from our parents that certain portions of ourselves are okay and
other portions aren't okay and we internalize those messages
and ...

264
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- Before you proceed, the mechanism is that you
incrementally agree with what you perceive to be their
assessment of you, which may or may not be their "real"
assessment of you.

Q- Yes.

Elan- But the effect that you are now going to put outside
of yourself in compartmentalized portions of your
consciousness like Ego, Id and Super-Ego is simply another
decision. Agreement is a decision, "I must be this way ... Mom
says I'm this way.” "I don't like the kind of person who does this.”
"Mom says I'm this way ... I must be this way.” "I don't like
myself.”

These are all decisions that you perpetuate. They are not
in a storage bin ... leaking into your decision-making ability. They
may present themselves as an option, they may present
themselves as a choice ... but you are the only conscious
decision-making authority, and you need not separate it out into
a compartment. Proceed.

Q- The Superego kind of, uh, apparently judges. For

example, I have all these ... I try not to be this way ... but I find
that I have lots of biases and preconditioned ideas about certain
things, and when I see a situation, I bring all these judgments to
bear which I want to, which I want to let go of, but there's all
these, it seems so much a part of me that ...

Elan- It all comes down to the decision that you

ultimately make, no matter what feedback you are using. There
is nothing that is an authoritative voice. There are only choices.
And you can say, “This is the voice of my childhood ego.” Or you
can say, "This is the choice that the "idea" of my childhood ego
presents and obviously it is not a choice I would make, no matter
what it seems to say, understanding it's all me.” You make the
265
 Your Power on a Plate
decision in each and every given moment. Either you hold
yourself up, trust who you are and have that decision be a
conscious expression of your knowingness Or, you use
everyone else's rationalization for who you are, and still make a
decision. Are you getting this?

Q- Yes ...

Elan- You can only get the negative effect when you fall
into agreement, when you decide, "they're right.” And in any
given moment you can decide (and you do not have to make
them wrong, saying "they're wrong," you can simply focus on
yourself) and say, "no, this is who I am ... I know me ... I know my
heart.” No one else can know your heart, no one else can know
who you are "deep down inside" (unless you have such a
relationship to allow them to know, and they choose to agree
with you). But only you know you.

Now, let's for a moment discuss you in general terms.

Do you desire to express yourself in integrative terms?

Q- Absolutely.

Elan- Do you desire to unconditionally love yourself and

others?

Q- Yes.

Elan- This reveal more about what kind of a person you

are, than anything you have ever said or done. You know who you
are. That is all that matters.

Now, are you going to have who you present yourself to

be, who you continue to create yourself to be ... be consistent
with knowing that you have these ideas within you or not? I
suggest that you do.

266
 Your Power on a Plate
Q- What you're saying sounds great. That's what I want
to do. I sit here and I observe you and I see you sitting up straight,
speaking confidently, no matter what anyone says, you seem to
respond with love, with no judgment ...

Elan- But do you not understand that you could not even
see, perceive, understand, make sense of what you are
perceiving to be me doing this, unless you contain it? And even
noticing that I do it, means you contain the sense of discernment
to see the difference.

Now, simply express the difference in yourself, which ...

let's not get too far astray from the idea, you are already doing to
a high degree. Honor yourself for the degree that you are doing
this. When you seem not to be doing it, you need only to realign
to who you are.

Q- Is that how I get rid of the baggage, the self-

judgments, or the fears of ... what I said isn't "good enough" ...
or worrying what others are thinking of me...

Elan- It is not how you get rid of it. You can't get rid of it.
You are the Universe, there is no place to get rid of anything to.
It is always a choice. It is how you transform your awareness ...
to have it be irrelevant to who you are. Which would seem to be
the same as "getting rid of it," but, again, getting rid of it implies
there's somewhere to put it and since you're everything, there is
no place to put anything. But you can transform anything,
because you decide it in the first place, and you can always
decide something else.

However, there is the ability to focus your attention on

one thing, which makes the opposite thing completely irrelevant
to who you are ... which is perhaps similar to seeming like it
doesn't exist for you. And so, by concentrating on unconditional

267
 Your Power on a Plate
love ... judgment is irrelevant. Judgment is a function of loving
yourself with conditions and not meeting those conditions.

Q- What if the judgment "springs up" as I'm there trying

to be unconditionally loving?

Elan- Then I remind you, it is not a voice ... it is a choice,

and that's all you need to remember. You can remind yourself
that any “opinion” you may hear in your mind is simply a choice
and isn’t truly a voice with ANY authentic authority. When you
give it that label, you remove its hold on you because you then
choose a different choice, one that is most representative of
who you choose to be and one that is more representative to
what you prefer. Choosing something else renders any
unchosen voice/choice to be virtually powerless.

Q- I tend to label myself though, and I want to get away

from doing that when I have the judgment and say ... "oh, I’m
bad" or 'there I go again’.”

Elan- That means, you hear the choice, you assign it the
identity of an authoritative voice, then you decide, “THAT VOICE
IS RIGHT.” But no matter how you color it, it's still a choice and
you are still buying into it, and the only reason you get the effect,
is the step of the process where you decide it's correct. And so
therefore, my suggestion, to keep this absolutely simple, is to
allow the judgment to come, invite the judgment, challenge it,
and when it comes up ... listen to it. It’s nonsensical. It's
completely irrelevant to who you are. You can think, “Yes,
perhaps someone could judge that I am this negative way ... but
when I look at the choice of seeing myself as this idiot ... or
seeing myself as the loving, unconditional, positively aligned,
integrative person, which one will I choose? ... Hmmm "

It becomes almost ridiculous, when you simply realign

to the positive choice, for any other choice to have any weight.
268
 Your Power on a Plate
Simply remind yourself if you hear that perspective in your head
and go ... "He's right.” ... that you've just made a decision and
remember that he is you and the decision maker is also you.

And only when you fall into alignment with the negative
choice ... make that decision ... trust that decision ... act that
way, do you get all the effects that you are describing. Is this
getting clearer?

Q- Yes.

Elan- Never do you feel a negative thing without first

making and embodying a decision, sticking to that decision by
trusting it, and then acting ... which in this case, generally would
be expressed as moping around.

Q- Okay.

Elan- Is it still hanging up anywhere? This is very

important.

Q- Well, uh ...

Elan- Is this too simple? Would you like an elaborate

process?

Q- No, definitely not, I mean, if I can change immediately

... that's what I would choose to do.

Elan- Alright, assuming (now listen to the wording) that

both of the ideas that I am about to share are true ... which one
do you choose?

"I can be who I desire to be.”

“I cannot be who I desire to be.”

Which would YOU choose?

Q- That I can be who I desire to be.

269
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- Alright, remember that in the ultimate sense both
are true, and I say this to allow you to see the degree of power
you have. You're going to choose one or the other, you might as
well choose the positive thing. Because if you choose, "I cannot
be who I desire to be.” ... that's what you get. It is real. It is not
that you can be the person you want, or you can't be the person
that you want. This is the idea of containing it all. You contain
both. You can't "get rid of" one and be the other. You can focus
on one and the other is behind you, it's no longer relevant, it's
not visible, and if it swings around, you can say, "That's not me
... I'm over here.”

Q- How would I apply that then to, for example,

compulsive eating ... if I'm saying, "I don't want to eat anymore,"
but yet I'm feeling a very strong desire to eat more ...

Elan- Alright, how does this dialogue occur within you? I

assume you have what you call “internal dialogue.” You can
certainly use these dialogues to realign yourself. How would this
go in your mind if you don't mind me asking?

Q- Sure, I get a, you know I have a ... and I'm not sure if
this is the Superego again, but I have this image of ...

Elan- Ah, one moment. Let's keep this as simple as

possible. You're eating ... you're full. What happens next?

Q- Well, I get this ...

Elan- Do not ascribe sources, just simply the dialogue.

Q- Well, okay, on the one hand I say, “I want to be

healthy and the proper weight and feel good about myself and I
know I'll feel good if I don't eat anymore.” ... but then on the other
hand I'll say ... “This sure tastes good.” ... and um, you know, I'll
just get like this feeling that I want to eat it and it's almost like a,

270
 Your Power on a Plate
kind of like a, an ... I don't care" or a "screw you" ... kind of you
know ... thing, like I'm going to eat it anyway and then I ...

Elan- Who is it that you are screwing ... to use your own
terminology? In other words, assumably we have, we'll call them
now ... voices in your head, one saying, “I wish to be healthy ...
my definition of healthy is when I am full, I stop eating.” Another
one going, “Pardon me, but screw you buddy, I'm going to eat
anyway, it tastes good, I don't care if I'm unhealthy.” Is this
somewhat the DIALOGUE that occurs?

Q- Yeah, there's like this whole other part of me ...

Elan- But do understand, there is a third awareness

there. And that is the aspect of your consciousness that will
choose between these two voices. That “you” has the benefit of
knowing who you are deep down inside. So allow the
conversation to occur ... allow the players to come out on the
table, and then remember ... these are not voices ... they're
choices, which one is more consistent with who I am?, "Ah,
trusting that when I am full, it is time to stop eating... seems
consistent in that it is natural to who I know myself to be, well
therefore, this slice of pizza looks very good...ah, I don't eat it ...
because it is not consistent with my decision and I can freeze it
and eat it tomorrow.” Do you understand the basic idea?

Q- I do, I do ...

Elan- The idea is to realize there is a third aspect of your

awareness (so-to-speak, using these separations
constructively) which is the decision maker ... between the
negative and the positive choices, and that is the one with the
power. That is the one who either will pick up the next morsel of
food, or not. That IS you. But by aligning with the positive self,
you are not running from the food ... you are understanding there
is a level of satisfaction in feeling satiation.
271
 Your Power on a Plate
Q- That third voice can sometimes, I think, can get
squelched out by the emotions surrounded by compulsive
behavior, for example, a lot of times if I'm feeling uncomfortable
or afraid or sad ... I'll just ... that's when I'm most likely to choose
to overeat.

Elan- Alright but do understand that you are functioning

with the mistaken idea that this third voice can be squelched ...
which it cannot. The third voice is simply the one that chooses.
The third voice is always who you are in any given moment, no
matter how many choices seem to appear before you. The third
voice is you, perhaps you can say the real you, the core you.

And when you look at your choices next to each other,

when you compare them, that you will always have a tendency
to naturally, shall I say, attract itself to the decision that is more
representative of who you choose to be.

Q- What about the negative emotions that I'm trying to

suppress to ...

Elan- Well, as we have discussed, feel them, allow them

to play out. Then, remind yourself who you are, after you have
allowed yourself to feel them. To some degree we have
discussed this before and when you have allowed yourself to
feel depression, anger, fear rather than amplifying it has actually
played itself out. If you can simply sit still and allow yourself to
play that out, without performing an action can go through the
process of allowing yourself to feel ... you can go through the
process of not squelching yourself ... but because you are not in
action, you are not stuffing your face.

Is this getting CLEAR?

Q- So, it sometimes comes down to a choice between

maybe ... crying and having a slice of pizza?

272
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- Alright, if you wish to say so. It would be my
suggestion, in that instance, given the specifics of the situation
... I may say something else for another individual ... that the
crying would be more apropos, in that it is allowing you to
express yourself, understand the way you feel and realign to
who you are, which is simply a natural eater, not a person who
doesn't overeat (which still has overeat in the definition) but a
natural eater, "I eat, my body tells me when I am through and I
stop.”.. simply because, and again it boils down to this (as I have
said in many different instances and circumstances) ... you trust
yourself.

Would you like a cupcake?

Q- No, pass, I quit sugar.

Elan- Ah, does not mean you cannot have a snack now
and then ... does not mean you need to section things off so
rigidly. You can enjoy yourself but trust your body
consciousness.

Q- But that's my fear, like, I'm ... I'm an alcoholic. I quit

drinking 8 years ago and I quit smoking too, I couldn't have those
once in a while, alcohol or tobacco, and sugar I seem to eat
compulsively. So, I'm thinking I would be, you know, well
advised to not have the sugar. But I don't know if that's just a
“should” ...

Elan- It is in that sense, just a “should.” Natural is simply

trusting yourself and remaining aligned to your conscious
decision, period. Stick with that and you "can't go wrong," so-to-
speak.

Q- Okay, could I ask just one more question?

Elan- Alright.

273
 Your Power on a Plate
Q- As A budding environmentalist, I'm very concerned
about what's happening in our global environment. Could you
just comment? There are so many trends ... about the
environment seems to be getting worse ... the potential for
disease seems to be increasing with the reducing effectiveness
of antibiotics and you know stuff like 'Ebola' coming on the
scene and things like that ...

Elan- Understood. But do understand that from my

perspective ... these are all effects and not causes. What they
are effects of is the approach of consciousness. And so
therefore, your understanding that you are whole will begin to
attract an outward reflection that will seem to reverse many of
the trends that you are simply focusing on because of who you
create yourself to be. It is not an across-the-board fact what you
are saying.

Yes, it would behoove you to get in touch with your

environment more strongly, but you already to some degree,
have. There has been a consciousness that concerns itself with
the idea of being in natural flow with your environment and not
against it.

Now I am not suggesting that this is necessarily enough

or that you should stop, but at least pat yourselves on the back
for the idea that this is now an issue ... as opposed to just
completely being glossed over. And see the progress as well.
Because it is concentrating on the progress that will assist you
in being part of the solution, whereas ... concentrating on the
problem, simply allows you (and I'm using the word "problem"
the way that you use it) ... concentrating on the negative
outcome has you seeing and attracting reinforcement for the
negative outcome.

274
 Your Power on a Plate
I remind you that a “problem ", from my definition, is
simply a situation that you have not yet allowed to transform.
And as you begin to perceive that you are no longer polluting
your own self physically, you will also see a reflective response
from your environment as well. Chew on that ... it's not fattening.

Q- Okay.

Elan- Alright.

Q- Thank you.

Elan- I thank you as well.

A PUNCH IN THE SOUL
"I'M GETTING IN TOUCH WITH MY ANGER"
(You can let it go and use it as a learning experience.)

Q- Elan, I have a problem ...

Elan- A what?

Q- A little problem ...

Elan- A little what?

Q- It's not a problem ...

Elan- a situation ... that ... you ... have ... not ... allowed
... to transform, yes?

Q- Yes.

Elan- Alright, what's the situation?

Q- I'm getting in touch with my anger ...

Elan- Alright.

Q- I'm ... letting it out ...

Elan- Are you letting it out by expressing it to yourself and

allowing it to play out, or are you physicalizing it? In other words,
... deciding in anger, trusting in anger and acting in anger ... far
different are those two things.

Q- Well, when you punch somebody in the face ...

Elan- I would say ... you are to the action stage in that
case. I would also say that it is the equivalent to ... punching
yourself in the soul (so-to-speak).

Q- Punching myself where?

276
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- In the soul. In other words, any lashing out in anger
is simply, truly a reflection of being angry with yourself.

Q- I've got some "soul searching" then.

Elan- Alright.

Q- I had two fights within one month, it's really terrible.

Elan- If you say so.

Q- I haven't had fights in years and years and years. But

there's something I need to learn from this and ...

Elan- Well, what did you get out of it?

Q- Well, my hand hurts ...

Elan- Anything else?

Q- Ah, anything else?

Elan- Sometimes all that you will get out of the

circumstance is knowing, in no uncertain terms ... that you
never wish to do that again.

That allowing yourself to play it out, particularly a dis-

empowered act such as that, does not even give you the
satisfaction you feel that it will, and it has absolutely no
constructive purpose, other than to lower your vibration and
match the vibration of the individuals you generally are
criticizing.

Why, in your estimation, did you punch someone? What

was the physical circumstance ... briefly? What did they do?

Q- Well, he was ... I caught him stealing.

Elan- Ah, so you find that stealing is a despicable act?

Yes?
277
 Your Power on a Plate
Q- Yes.

Elan- And so then ... punching is not a despicable act?

Q- Yes, it is.

Elan- Alright, so you stoop down to the same level you

were criticizing? Perhaps not the most effective response.

Now, understanding that you found the act of the

individual to be negatively aligned to who you are ... are there
other ways that you might be able to express yourself whereby
you can still settle the matter and not be the very thing you are
criticizing?

Q- Yes.

Elan- Alright, that is where these opportunities, if you

wish to look at them, point you. You've done that. You've seen
that the effect is not who you desire to be, therefore next time,
you do something different.

Now you can concentrate on judging yourself for having

done that, though it was a negative act ... it is over and done
with. And perhaps the only reason that an individual might
continue to judge themselves is if they think they may do it again
at the drop of a hat. But you can let it go and use it as a learning
experience.

Q- I think, I think I was pretty angry at myself for not

acting the day I caught him stealing. I wasn't positive ... I had to
look at it and look at it and ...

Elan- But before you proceed, the anger that I am talking

about is deeper. In order to be actually lashing out physically at
someone there is an anger that you are, in that sense, directing
toward yourself.

278
 Your Power on a Plate
Q- Okay, I got it. Thank you very much.

Elan- Oh, thank yourself.

Q- Okay, thank me.

Elan- And warn me when you're coming ... so I can duck!

Q- You got it.

Elan- Only fooling around. Since I can only attract the

reality that I am the vibration of as well, I simply do not attract
that type of physical response.

EXCITEMENT WITH INTEGRITY
THE MOST POSITIVELY ALIGNED ULTIMATE FEEDBACK
(As you shift your decision, different things will stand out as
exciting.)

At this timing, allow me to thank you all for your

willingness to extend yourselves, literally, as ambassadors of
your society and your civilization and interacting with me and
members of my society and civilization.

The "feedback" that we get from you allows us to learn

and know more about ourselves. If you are willing to use your
own circumstance as positive feedback and reinforcement you
can derive as much joy from yourselves as we derive from you.

One last idea is the idea of what you would call

excitement; "the most positively aligned ultimate feedback" in
the way that you create yourselves as Physical Beings.

And this is the idea that you refer to as ... that in any given
moment, from the options that are available, one of them stands
out most strongly as being the most compelling, exciting, and
passionate choice to make ... thing to do. This is the most
constructive “feedback from your reality.” I invite you to decide,
"Now that I have decided who I am, trust who I am, and act
according to that person. The things that stand out as exciting to
me are my feedback.” These are the things, if you are able to do
them with integrity (which is the knowingness of your place in
the oneness of all things and treating things with that degree of
respect) that reinforce most strongly your new decision about
who you prefer to be. As you shift your decision ... different
things will stand out as exciting. When your decision is negative,
something can stand out as exciting that will perhaps seem to
be detrimental, and acting on it will be following your excitement
... but not with integrity.

280
 Your Power on a Plate
If you allow yourself to have a positively aligned decision
... the things that excite you and can be acted on with integrity
are a direct reflection of the shortest distance between the two
points that you create as the point that you are, and the point
that you are "going to" (so-to-speak).

So, following your excitement and acting on that

excitement with integrity from whatever is available ... is the
ultimate positive usage of feedback and trust in who you are.

Chapter Eight

Factoring In Your Excitement

We have been discussing with many of you for some

time a simplified version ... a simplified explanation for how you
create your experience as Physical Beings. You are
fundamentally consciousness, and the idea of your "physical
life" (your physical expression, your linear reality experience) is
a statement or an expression of your Infinite consciousness.

So complete is this expression of linear existence that

you actually begin to “wrap yourself" so firmly within the idea of
"time" and "space" that you actually impose a forgetfulness that
you are in fact pure consciousness.

Often you will begin to recognize, once again, that you

have consciousness and begin to express yourself as having a
consciousness, having a mentality, having thought patterns. But
truly and most accurately this is only one way to look at it, and
that you do not have a consciousness, but you are a

283
 Your Power on a Plate
consciousness, expressing yourself in physical terms ...
expressing yourself in linear terms.

The way in which your consciousness interacts with

itself to produce the effect you call "physical reality" (and the
maintenance of physical experience) is through, as we have
simplified the idea, that in each and every given moment you:

1. Decide who you are,

2. Trust that decision,
3. Act as though you trust that decision.

And your actions reflect that decision, and then seem to

create an interaction ... an “expression - result - relationship –
interaction” that appears to produce a result. That result then
creates the idea of “the face of your life.” And so, in each and
every given moment, you literally, literally re-create yourself
100% through the decision, "I am this person ... I am this way ...
I do this thing.” And part of the definition, as you make this
decision, is you build into the decision the idea that, "I am the
person I was but a moment ago ... with a slight ... small ...
change.”

And so, the apparency is that you are the same exact
person as the moment before ... going through an experience.
But literally what is happening is, in each and every moment you
are re-creating yourself 100% ... completely anew, with many
of the definitions you have here-to-for held about yourself built
into that decision, and this creates the apparency you call
"continuity.”

• In making the decision, you register your consciousness

into physical terms.

• In trusting the decision, you maintain that decision

(you continue to decide that that is who you are)
284
 Your Power on a Plate
• In acting out the decision, you express that decision into
physical reality.
And then, again, the outward expression in physical
reality is your actions, which then embody the trust and the
decision. The actions produce the result which seems
consistent with the decision. You do this "automatically.” You
do this generally with no one ever telling you this is what you're
doing, but nevertheless, this is "how you create” within this
physical phase of your awareness.

When you begin to awaken your consciousness ... when

you begin to expand into the idea that you can begin to create
your reality consciously rather than haphazardly or randomly ...
you begin to factor in the idea of having the decision be
conscious. Which generally takes the form of having the
decision be according to desire and preference, rather than the
random idea that you are "handed" a reality, that you are handed
a decision. Even if you create the idea that it seems that you are
"handed" the decision of who you are, you only get that effect
when you agree with that decision, and that is truly also, you still
making a decision.

And so, in discussing the idea of creating consciously,

we begin with using your desire, using your preference, using
your discernment from the Infinite potential of ways that you can
define yourself, to narrow down who it is you want to be, who it
is you wish to be, and therefore, then make your decision, "I am
... this particular person with these qualities", consciously,
according to preference, according to the person you ideally see
yourself to be ... which in fact, you are. For you are everything,
your fundamental consciousness is Infinite. That infinity is your
actuality. You can say that’s who/what you actually are.

Your physical expression is an apparency of being finite.

But because you are “fundamentally” Infinite, you contain it all,
285
 Your Power on a Plate
and "the good news," if you wish to look at it this way, is that this
means you get to choose from anything. And certainly, one of
the options is to choose to be the person you desire to be, the
person, again, you ideally picture that you are. Your best, most
authentic, fullest version of yourself.

Where we now wish to ... "tie this all together.” ... is in

discussing the idea of the most conducive and natural way of
discerning who you are foundationally and allowing you to see
that you have a built-in mechanism, in each and every moment,
that you can use to choose from what seems to be available in
any given moment.

We have discussed the idea many times of what you call

EXCITEMENT. And when we ask individuals "what do you think
excitement actually is?", they will generally describe the
emotion, perhaps the sensation, perhaps the physical
characteristics of excitement. But what we actually are asking is
what causes you to feel excited? And the answer is, that
EXCITEMENT is your sense of discernment, that is telling you
that of anything that is available in front of you, the thing that
excites you the most ... that you can express with integrity …
is the strongest choice, is in fact the choice that is most
aligned with who you choose to be foundationally. That's why
it excites you ... that's why it invokes within you the vibration of
feeling ... motivated ... inspired ... passionate ... not simply to
tease you, not simply because it is a random emotional
response ... but because it is your inner core, expressing in no
uncertain terms, "of these choices ... this choice is most me"
and as you say in your vernacular, you feel most jazzed about
that choice.

286
 Your Power on a Plate

Your Purpose in Life

There are certain distinctions that we wish to review,
regarding the idea of "excitement.” Often individuals will ask
either each other or ask us "what is my purpose in life?" And
this seems to be a very popular concern that you discuss, "my
purpose." Allow me to now reveal that your purpose in life is
whatever excites you the most, that you can act on with
integrity. The integrity part is very important, and we will discuss
that in a moment.

Overall Excitement
Allow us to differentiate that your "overall purpose" ...
the thing that stands out as being most exciting, most
motivating, most inspiring, creating the idea of passion ... can
be understood to do so, because it is the purpose through which
you have expressed your Physical Being.

However, if it seems that you are excited, overall, most

excited about one thing, that is not your entire purpose, though
it is a focus function of your purpose. Allow me to explain.

What we have just discussed is the idea of the thing that

excites you the most as being, not the overall purpose, but an
overall purpose in your life. Many, in face most individuals
create more than one overall purpose.

Let us distinguish this from your moment-to-moment

excitement.

Moment-To-Moment Excitement – Uniquely in

the Moment
There is also the moment-to-moment consideration in
that in each and every given moment, there are choices

287
 Your Power on a Plate
available that are unique to that moment, different choices than
you've ever had, different choices than you seem to have just
had, and different choices than you'll have in but a moment's
time.

And so, in each and every moment in linear reality, there

is a unique set of choices, a set of choices that is unique to that
moment. Of those choices, one (or perhaps more than one, but
a finite number of them) will always out as being more
compelling, more exciting, and this is also your purpose your
moment-to-moment purpose.

Your overall purpose is the combination of the thing

that seems to excite you the most and anything that excites
you the most from what's available in any given moment.

Now often these two things (the overall thing(s) and the
idea of the thing in the moment that is most exciting) can seem
completely unrelated ... in fact one may actually seem to be a
"sidetrack" of the other. What allows you to understand that
they are not opposed, or contradictory, is the commonality of
the excitement about them.

And therefore, what I am clarifying is that whatever

excites you, that you can act upon with integrity in the moment
... no matter whether or not it seems to have anything to do with
the overall thing(s) that excites you the most ... it is absolutely
essential for THE thing that excites you THE MOST, or it wouldn't
also excite you. The excitement itself tells you, "Of anything that
is available to me right now that I can act upon with integrity, this
choice is the most representative of who I am, therefore this is
also an expression of the purpose of my whole entire life.” and
so therefore you can use the excitement as a tool of alignment.

288
 Your Power on a Plate
EXCITEMENT
WITH INTEGRITY
(What we do and do not mean by integrity.)

Now we have mentioned several times in this interaction

the idea of acting upon that excitement with integrity. Allow me
to explain a little bit more concisely what I mean by "integrity.”

Allow me to start by saying what I do not mean by

integrity, which is the moralistic connotation of what integrity
can mean. When you interpret integrity in terms of given morals,
then you will understand that integrity can vastly vary across the
board in that the morals of the different factions of your society
can sometimes be completely contradictory. So, there is no
true, underlying, moralistic integrity that is the integrity for
everyone.

What we mean by integrity is the understanding that you

are consciousness, an Infinite consciousness ... expressing
yourself as a Physical Being, and therefore everything that you
experience as a physical reality exists within you and is one thing
with you, is an expression of you.

What we mean by acting with integrity is incorporating

the foundational understanding that EVERYTHING IS ALL ONE
THING, one INTEGRATED WHOLE. You can express integrity
by treating everything, and everyone as part of one
integrated whole, and by expressing that, you are expressing
the embodiment that your most integrated actions include the
idea of that "integration"… the inter-related nature of everything
in reality, the "holographic" inter-relationship of all things in
reality. If you truly understand that everything is all one thing
then integrity is expressed by demonstrating a respect and
reverence for all things. Integrity is expressed by remaining
cognizant and vigilant of all of your agreements. And although

289
 Your Power on a Plate
agreements can certainly be renegotiated, in expressing
integrity, this would not be done unilaterally.

So, understanding that reality is one integrated whole

that you are expressing within you, “integrity" ... acting with
integrity, expresses itself as being mindful that everything is an
expression of you, everything is an extension of you, everything
is a reflection ... from you and to you.

And therefore, the attitude that accompanies that

knowingness of oneness is again a certain respect, or validation
for whatever is going on. And when your actions are reflecting
that validation, they take on what you refer to as ... “a positive
and inclusive tone and posture.”

So, it may seem like functioning with this definition of

integrity does create a "moral" structure, but that is not what we
mean when we say it. When we say, "act with integrity" we mean
act with the underlying understanding that your reality is an
integrated whole, and treating everything with the same
respect as you would demand yourself. For it is all you,
treating yourself, interacting with yourself as seemingly an
external reality. And so therefore, from choices that are
available if something stands out as being exciting, either ... you
will find that you can act upon it with this understanding of
integrity and express the knowingness, the compassion, the
unconditional lovingness that you yourself wish to receive ... or
... you may understand that it excites you, but acting upon it at
this time would clearly be out of your integrity.

And this is a very important distinction in following your

excitement, if you factor out the integrity, you can create the
ideas that you refer to as ... “selfishness, self-centeredness,
running amok., or simply being hedonistic.”

290
 Your Power on a Plate
If you factor in the integrity, you are always acting from
your center, using the feedback of the discernment of
excitement to allow you to see who you are in any given situation
and then acting as an integrated Being, expressing that
excitement in physical terms.

And so, what we mean by factoring in excitement is to

use the excitement and the ability to act upon it with integrity, to
assist you in any given moment to formulate and to re-establish
or re-state your decision. For when your decision is, "I am a
Being that expresses myself fully, with integrity, with
unconditional lovingness to myself and others, because that is
a function of integrity," then you will understand that the output
using such an attitude as the foundation is always, only positive,
and no matter whether that action may seem like the societal
norm or not ... it can only add unto you and your experience, and
it can only add unto any other individual who comes in contact
with you, because it is an expression of who you are, in the most
positive of terms.

Using your excitement is truly quite simple. You can

always easily discern what excites you, if you are simply willing
to say, "Alright, this is a moment with unique choices, here are
what the choices are, this one and this one and this one stand
out as being most exciting. One choice that is most exciting
does not appear that I can act upon it with integrity, so, I'll push
that aside. These two remaining choices appear that I can act
upon them with integrity, ah, I have two ... but only one of them
is immediately available.” That is what lets you know that the
timing, the immediate availability, can also be factored in, in
choosing with your excitement and “fun-ctioning” (pun
intended) with that excitement through your integrity.

So, what we are introducing is literally a barometer of

who you are, both "overall" the thing that excites you the most,
291
 Your Power on a Plate
and the moment-to-moment-to-moment (from what is
available) choices which stand out as obviously being more
compelling. We bring this up, to put the icing on the cake of
understanding that, although you may express yourself in many,
many, many, many, many, ways as an Infinite Being through
physical means, that you actually have the option to express
yourself naturally … flowingly …. Joyfully … purposefully ...
effectively ... productively, while still being willing to honor who
you are fundamentally to the greatest degree.

For in not denying who you are and being willing to

express who you are fully, you then become of the greatest
service to other individuals who will use you as their reflection
in their consciousness, for what they are exploring. And this
allows individuals to see that, "Yes, I understand that I can
function randomly with haphazard results, but also I see
individuals who function purposefully, with positive results, not
necessarily always what they expect, but always manifesting
positive outcomes, nevertheless.”

And so, you do yourself the greatest service by being

willing to express who you are with, as you say, "no holds
barred.” You do everyone else the greatest service, because in
expressing yourself that clearly, you allow them the opportunity
to see an example, an expression of clarity, of purposefulness,
of joyfulness.

And so, always, in any given moment, it can be

completely as plain and obvious, as you say, "as the nose on
your face" just which of the options stand out as being most
exciting, that you can act upon it with integrity.

292
 Your Power on a Plate
THE SHELL GAME
THE NEXT LAYER
("Well, I still can't even determine what excites me at all.”)

One last thing, before we proceed to what you call the

"interaction.” Individuals will sometimes play, perhaps you can
call it "the shell game" with their overall excitement. In other
words, they may say, "Well, I don't really know what excites me.”

Allow me to say that this is never truly the case. Perhaps

you have allowed yourself to be talked out of what excites you.
Perhaps you have used excuses like “it’s too late”, “I am not
equipped or expert enough” to deny what excites you. Perhaps
you have taken the "weight of the words of others" to allow you
to make the decision that what excites you is not valid or
important, but always, always, always do you and only you know
what truly excites you the most.

When I say this, this will generally "turn the key" for many
individuals to say, "Well alright, yes, I do know what excites me
and I had not wanted to acknowledge it because then I might
have to do something about it.”

Though there are still individuals who will play the next
layer of the shell game of saying …"Well, I still can’t even
determine what excites me at all.”

293
 Your Power on a Plate
THE MAGIC LAMP
"BUT NO ONE EVER SAID I COULD DO THIS"
("But perhaps ... just perhaps ... maybe ... it is possible.”)

So, allow me to offer up what you call the following "tool"

for individuals who feel that they do not have direct access to
knowing what excites them the most. And this direct tool can
simply be called, alright ... "The Magic Lamp.”

And the idea is to simply ask yourself, "If I had a magic

lamp and could rub it and make the wish to be the person I truly
wish to be, who would I be?" Often with the idea of “the miracle"
of the magical Genie in the lamp you will allow yourself to drop
your guard ... drop the excuses and truly expose to you what it is
that excites you the most with "no holds barred.” Then you can
look at that and “test it" to see, "Well, yes, this does really excite
me, doesn't seem like something I can really do necessarily, and
that's why I couldn't acknowledge it, but it does excite me.” And
now you know.

You will find that the moment you are willing to validate
that something truly is the most exciting thing for you, you will
find that your attitude in that moment will already shift. And you
will begin to entertain the idea, "Well, no one had ever said I
could ever do this, but perhaps ... just perhaps ... maybe ... it is
possible.” And that is the beginning ... deciding to be excited,
allowing yourself to be excited, at which point you can choose
to factor in, moment-to-moment-to-moment, excitement into
your decision.

To apply this to a real-life circumstance, a series of

choices, comes along and you say, "Alright, I am this person, I
am this type of person" (whatever parameters you plug into
that). When you notice which excites you the most, you can
embellish that decision to include the idea of the thing that

294
 Your Power on a Plate
excites you, "I am this person who likes to do this particular
thing.” And the excitement allows you to further define and
"home in" on who it is you are.

At first it may seem as though you are seeking,

searching, "Alright, from these choices, which excites me? ...
which excites me here? ... which excites me now?" But this is
only because you have denied yourself this vibration as being
frivolous for so long. Once you begin to consciously decide to
discern what excites you from the choices available and begin
to do this consistently, you will find it will become quite
automatic. You will simply know “there's the exciting thing!!! I
don't even need to know the other choices.” You will quickly
become an expert at always knowing what excites you the most
in any given situation.

And what this discernment of excitement creates is a

moment, to moment, to moment connecting of the dots that all
together creates the picture of the overall most exciting thing.

And though one particular set of dots, and lines between

them, again, may appear to have nothing to do with the overall
exciting thing, when you step back and look at the whole picture
you see those dots, and the lines that connect them, were
essential, the picture would be incomplete without them. The
moment-to-moment exciting things become virtual
steppingstones to the overall most exciting thing. While it is not
always initially obvious where the first stones will lead, later it
becomes obvious that they all formed a cohesive path that takes
you directly to the overall most exciting thing.

And that is when it becomes more evident that certain

things that excite you in the moment that you can act on with
integrity, are actually utterly related and connected to the most
exciting thing (no matter what the apparency is). It will become

295
 Your Power on a Plate
apparent that all excitement is the fragmentary expression of
the same one thing.

And so, if it is necessary, if you are denying to yourself

what it is that truly excites you - rub the lamp, make the wish,
watch for what you "wish", and learn more about who you are
from seeing what you choose. (only ... you ... truly … know ...
you).

If someone else tells you who you are and you then fulfill
that prophecy of their version of who you are, it is not because
they have defined you, it is because that at some point, in some
given moment, you have made the decision of agreeing with
their assessment. And in trusting that decision and acting that
way, you put out the expression that seems to confirm, "They
were right, they knew me better than I knew myself.” But that, I
remind you, is not possible. You know you the best.

And your excitement is your "number one key" to truly

and authentically knowing who you are, is your key to allowing
choices to stand out in relief from the rest of the choices in a very
obvious and serendipitous way. So therefore, if you are willing to
always factor in your excitement, then the process of
conscious self-expression becomes immediately fun,
immediately joyful, immediately exciting and invigorating, and
do not miss this point ... immediately productive (no matter
what anyone else says). And you will connect ... more ... dots ...
as you begin to do this and to make it more apparent that you are
being productive by acting on who you truly know yourself to be,
in each and every moment, rather than someone else's version
of who they think you are.

This is the way that we function as Beings, though again,

quite automatically. We simply have this approach and do not
even give it any thought, as you will not, once it becomes, as you
say, "old hat.”
296
 Your Power on a Plate
Allow me to share with you the that the main reason that
we interact with members of your society is the "mere fact" that
it excites us to interact with you. We understand, from our
point of view, that you are an expression of us, and you are a
reflection to me of my own consciousness.

And so, when you say something, particularly something

that I do not expect, I immediately learn more about myself.
Since one of my purposes is to know as much about myself as
possible, I find this quite exciting!

I thank you for allowing me to express my excitement

and the collective excitement of members of my civilization, in
this, perhaps you can call it, quite "unconventional" manner,
this channeling format.

I thank you for the honor of your willingness to share your

version of your consciousness with us.

For again, we grow and learn that much more about the
Universe, and therefore that much more about ourselves. And
this is A great gift that is not taken lightly by us, and we utterly
thank you for it.

In return for your willingness to express who you are and

include us in the picture, I thank you and ask you how, through
sharing, we may be mutually of service to each other.

A DECISION
"BUT IT'S NOT PRODUCTIVE"
(Tell that to the chipmunks!)

Q- I have, with what you were discussing, I have some

problems with ... in my life, as far as purpose and like ... words
you use that ... you know as far as productive, being productive
with excitement. Some of the most exciting things to me are,
maybe it's the definition, maybe we have different definitions of
"productive," but so much of my excitement comes from things
that, at least people here, generally in my society would not
consider productive.

Elan- Alright, then let me address that first of all by

saying that a problem that you seem to think that you have, is
simply a situation that you have not yet allowed to transform.
So, no problem at all, simply a matter of realigning, redefining
who you are. Understand that the notion is generally put forth,
that, "If I do what excites me, it will be frivolous and non-
productive.” And so, what do you then do? You don't actually act
on what excites you, you constantly think about what excites
you, and so it seems to constantly be the same thing that excites
you.

But when you are willing to commit yourself in action to

the things that excite you (and I remind you, acting on them with
integrity) then you have done that thing, and whatever it
produces will be obvious, and then often now that you have
done that ... you open up your vision to see the next thing that
excites you. Simply, honoring the idea of what excites you and
acting on it has a result, plays out, "now that's over with", and
that puts you in a new position to see new things that were not
visible before that might excite you now that you have been
willing to act upon it. So, much of what you are sharing with me
in the form of “reservations” about this, has simply been an
298
 Your Power on a Plate
unwillingness to do that thing, see what happens, and then
move on to the next thing.

Do you wish to be more specific about something which

may excite you, in that sense very much, that you feel might not
be productive or which you may have a rigid definition of what
productive means, if you were to do that thing?

Q- Well, I think what I'm trying to say is I can do

something, you know, I'll give you an example ...

Elan- Alright, please do, thank you.

Q- You know, when a chipmunk eats seeds out of my

hand or a bird eats seeds out of my hand ... that excites me, and
I want to do it again and I want to do it more.

Elan- And why would you not do such a thing?

Q- But it's not productive.

Elan- Oh, tell that to the chipmunk! Is it not obviously

productive, does it not bring you both joy, does it not enable you
to express yourself in a way whereby you can understand the
integrity of all things by seeing the harmony in what you call
"nature?"

Q- Well, definitely.

Elan- Now, are you speaking of waking up and feeding

chipmunks all day long and doing nothing else?

Q- No, because there's too many other things that excite

me, but I think my basic point , I don't want to say problem again
[laughter], but challenge ...

Elan- Situation.

299
 Your Power on a Plate
Q- ... is that the things that I love to do, the things that
excite me ... do not make money, they do not make money and I
can't find that thing ...

Elan- I understand what you are saying, fundamentally, I

understand what you are saying.

Q- It annoys me, ah, this push for us to find our purpose

... that we have to have...

Elan- By the way, you are the only one doing the
“pushing”, no one is pushing you to find your purpose. But the
idea is, once you recognize the things that are right in front of you
as standing out in relief and acting on them, you create new
results ... those actions create new results. Those particular
new results may not be "money," but they create results that
then change and enrich the choices that are right in front of you.
And when you do this consecutively, the entire set of choices in
your life changes. And if money is what you will need to continue
to express yourself most fully, you will lead yourself, though
continuing to follow your excitement with integrity, into a series
of more new choices where the most exciting choice will
eventually be lucrative ... but not by denying your excitement
where it is obviously evident and always doing something else
other than that excitement.

You open the door to who you are by taking the first step,
by seeing the thing that is exciting, not placing conditions that it
must make money, leaving yourself open for the fact that the
money would be nice, but committing yourself in action to that
thing and allowing it to produce a result. That result produces a
new choice. Generally speaking, those new choices will most
often lead to what you call that type of abundant expression
"money.”

300
 Your Power on a Plate
But by not being willing to take the first step ... you never
produce the new results that allows you to see the changing
choices. So, I understand when you are speaking to me from the
position of not having taken that step, it may seem that what
excites you will never make you money. But I remind you, what
you are fundamentally talking about, rather than putting it in
terms of the symbol of money, is actually support.

Often you will refer to this as "support from the Universe"

... because you externalize the idea of where the support comes
from. And you may observe that doing the things that don't
excite you, you can still support yourself, or “the Universe
supports you" and you will then for some strange reason
assume that what does excite you, what is an expression of who
you are, could possibly support you any less. When in fact, most
literally, it can only support you more because support is simply
creating the ability to continue to do those things, to do what you
need to do, when you need to do it, effortlessly.

And so, we are back to the idea of being willing to even

entertain ... if you wish to choose to play it as a game the exciting
things, from where they are obvious, from where you are sitting
right now ... acting upon them with integrity (which is mindful of
what you call agreements with others, for they are an expression
of you and you have an agreement with them, you understand
that the integrated approach is to honor or re-negotiate, but not
ignore) you will find that these things will be productive.
Sometimes they may simply seem, and I am being facetious in
saying "simply", to produce joy, to produce feeling good, which
then puts you in the frame of mind to choose from the next set
of choices, perhaps the next set of chipmunks.

Q- I'm really good at that, you know, and that ...

Elan- Do you understand what I am saying?

301
 Your Power on a Plate
Q- Oh, I mean, yes ...

Elan- Do you understand the idea, that what is causing

the confusion for you, is not having taken the steps to simply see
the bottom line is you're going to do something, if you choose
and it's according to obligation and perhaps you can say, lack of
joy and commitment, you know you will get some type of
response ... what you do not know yet, and what you have not
allowed yourself to experience yet, are the results of allowing
your reality to be obvious in that the things that stand out are the
most exciting and therefore efficacious things ... even if they do
not seem at first to appear so on the surface

And this is where paradox enters into it. Many times, the
thing that excites you in a moment may actually seem
counterproductive. If you can act on that with integrity, it will
never actually be counterproductive. If you find that you cannot
act on it with integrity, then there is your sign that perhaps it
would be counterproductive. So, the integrity, acting upon it
with integrity, is the key, is the distinction.

By the way, some individuals simply think that this is

“too good, too joyous to be true”, but that is a decision as well.
You are going to choose, you are going to decide anyway, "I am
this person", you're going to trust that decision and you're going
to act, you're going to produce a result ... and so no matter what
happens, you are going to, and have always been and are
continuing to, use the mechanism we are speaking of.

By factoring in who you are deep down inside, who you

know yourself to be at your core, your passion, your inspiration,
your commitment ... how logically or conceptually could that
possibly result in a diminished return?

302
 Your Power on a Plate
Husband- I think what she's talking about especially, is
the built-in belief structures in our society which are so strong
and are constantly reinforced.

Elan- Well thank you, but do understand, that all they

are, again, are not the voices that talk to you, but they are the
choices that you choose and decide.

So, when you say to me, "well, it’s the societal beliefs",
you are attracting your notion of societal beliefs having any
influence ... and then you are either deciding to embody those
beliefs, or not. For again, I remind you, a belief is not something
that you have, "I have this belief and I do not have the opposite
belief.” And looking at belief that way is very limiting and makes
it quite difficult to change your beliefs.

More accurately, you are Infinite and contain it all, so

you contain all beliefs ... every single belief and its opposite, and
the result you get is according to which of those beliefs you
express. And this is where conscious decision, trust and action
allows you to express your beliefs consciously, according to
preference with your own sense of discernment factored in.
Anytime you seem to fulfill the prophecy of "everyone knows"
(whatever IT is that "everyone” knows) you decide they must be
right, then think and act accordingly. Does that make sense?

Husband- It's giving your power away.

Elan- It is using your power in a way that feels

disempowered. But believe me, you never give it away, because
there's nowhere to give it to.

Q- Well, I feel that with what you were talking about

before that I'm good at that moment-to-moment deciding what
excites me ...

Elan- and acting upon it?

303
 Your Power on a Plate
Q- I ….

Elan- The action phase is essential to see the change

externally, because of your consciousness and the way it is
focused it would appear for now that action is essential. So, it is
not merely the discernment of what the exciting thing is, it is also
the action ... seeing what excites you and acting on it with
integrity. Putting out always produces a result and that is the
productivity.

Q- Well, I feel, like I said, I feel like I'm good at that ... but
I don't feel like I'm good at this "main purpose" kind of thing that
we talk about, you know the main purpose that ...

Elan- Alright, what is it, when I ask you what excites you
the most of anything that you can think of, right now?

Q- Right now?

Elan- Yes.

Q- I think spiritual growth and spiritual ...

Elan- Alright, I assume as you expand as a spiritual

Being, however, you will be doing something. You will be
somehow expressing that expansion in some way, in one of the
particular ways that your society allows. What thing that you can
do excites you the most? In other words, when you're already
that spiritual Being (which, by the way, you are) what is it you will
do? What is it you see your Ideal Self doing, so that we might
examine it for observation?

Q- I don't ... I see so many things ...

Elan- Pick the one that seems to stand out as most

exciting.

Husband- Can you give her a hint?

304
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- Absolutely not, it would defeat the purpose
entirely and yes, I could, but I will not.

Q- I really can't think of one.

Elan- Alright, then name several ... for the purposes of,
again, demonstration, name three things that are very,
overwhelmingly, exciting to you.

Q- Okay, ah, going on journeys in my mind with

animals...

Elan- Alright, number two.

Q- Gardening, a flower garden.

Elan- Number three.

Q- Um ... reading or writing about these things.

Elan- Alright, two of the things that you named bring, at

least to my understanding, are things which do, literally, allow
you to make money upon your planet ... what you call "writing,"
what you call "gardening.” And so therefore, even in but being
willing to take but a moment of your time (and you can certainly
go more intimate, if you are willing to open up to yourself in your
own private space). Generally speaking, of the things that you
named ... the idea of mind journeys, we would factor out. Now
not in terms of the fact that we are saying "do not do this," by all
means, it brings you joy ... but that is not truly what we mean
when we say action.

That can be a way to enjoy yourself by all means and will

also be productive, but there is nothing you can do about it,
except perhaps lie down in your bed, or meditate in your chair.
The other two would be better examples, gardening, writing and
in fact there are, as you say, "opportunities" upon your planet to
even make money in what you call "reading.”
305
 Your Power on a Plate
So it depends on what degree you are willing to define
what excites you, lay it out on the table, look at the possibility ...
and you may find, when you find one thing that truly excites you
the most that you can immediately take an action and do
something about it, because one of the choices in the moment
would be to act upon that. If it is, by all means, do that thing ...
that is your arrow, that is your signpost.

Though, if it is not immediately available (say for

instance, you choose writing and there is no pen and paper
available and you cannot get one immediately) you can push
that aside, understanding that it is very exciting to you, but
realizing there is a unique choice in the moment that will
actually enable you to do the writing later that is important ...
and is in fact an important prerequisite to doing the writing, right
now.

And so, it still comes back to being mindful of the most

exciting thing, but if you are not able to act on it in the moment,
being willing to act on what is available as being most exciting
with integrity, producing a result and then looking at your next
set of choices ... choosing something ... doing it ... then looking
at the next set of choices. And again, many of the actions that
you perform that have a result, will then provide new choices. All
this is, is an alternative approach ... using a mechanism you
already embody and live in every given moment. Do you feel that
you deserve what excites you?

Q- Oh, definitely.

Elan- Alright, then all the factors are in place, if you are
willing to but factor in one more thing and that is your
excitement. Does something else come up or is this of
assistance?

Q- No, that was good.

306
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- Alright, you don't sound that excited about it and in
fact, being excited about excitement itself is a very positive first
step.

Allow that to roll around if you will, and if something else

comes up as being a question, by all means, chime in, alright?

Q- Okay, thank you.

Elan- I thank you.

307
 Your Power on a Plate
TAKING A WALK
AN INSIGNIFICANT CHOICE?
(As essential as anything else you will ever do.)

Before we continue ... allow me to say the following.

Often, in a given moment, the unique choices that are

available may seem, perhaps if you are comparing it to some
overall picture, as insignificant choices that could not possibly
as you say, "lead to anything fruitful.”

The idea is, that no matter what those choices are, in

each and every moment one or more will stand out, at least one
will draw your attention, and though they may seem trivial or
they may seem as though, “The only things that I have a choice
to do right now, could not possibly yield anything," still, using
your excitement to choose from what is available, no matter
what it is, allows you to remain in action, in alignment with who
it is you say you desire to be. And so therefore, the choices can
present themselves as things that you may generally refer to (or
societally refer to) as "mundane," you can take a walk, you can,
as you say, read a book, take a ride, take a drive, feed the birds
or the chipmunks ... whatever.

Understanding that if taking that walk is the most

exciting thing that you can imagine from those options and that
you are able to take that walk with integrity, that the walk itself,
no matter what it appears on the surface, is as essential toward
your reason for expressing yourself as a Physical Being, as
anything else you will ever do because it's all one thing, one
overall purpose with many different excited expressions and
components.

And so therefore you need not in that sense say, "Well

these choices are all trivial and therefore it really does not
matter which one I choose.” You will make a choice; you will act
308
 Your Power on a Plate
upon that choice and perhaps the distinction here is whether
you are going to allow that choice to be random (then producing
a random result) or “purpose-full” ... “reason-full” where then
you can only get some type of purposeful result. And you will
notice, using the example of taking that walk, that if that is the
most exciting thing to do, it would behoove you, to keep your
eyes wide open on that walk, to be willing to be receptive for
whatever results from making a decision, trusting that decision
and taking that action, again particularly if the foundation for
that decision is the discernment of your excitement. Taking that
walk will inevitably yield something you did not expect and will
inevitably lead to some other new option into the pile of options
that was not there before.

And this idea, getting results that provide new choices

and new options, is why you find that when you are willing to
honor who you are and express yourself as that Being fully, that
the rate at which your life transforms is what you call
"exponential," for you continue to get results based on actions
that are a complete reflection of who you know yourself to be.
And so therefore, those results are also reflections of who you
know yourself to be and again, get added into the stew of
choices in the new moment.

Simply, in that sense, we wished to make that degree of

distinction, because that is the degree to which you can apply
you, which is what your excitement is, it is you allowing yourself
to be most fully cognizant of who you are in that moment, with
what's available. As you say,

"’Nuff said about that.”

PURPOSEFULLY MAKING A DISTINCTION
WANTING OR CHOOSING? DECIDING TO BE HAPPY
("My question ties in very much with the theme of the
evening.”)

Q- My question ties in very much with the general theme

of this evening. Once I ask the question, please allow me 2 or 3
sentences to explain where I am on the subject. The question is,
"how do I most effectively manifest what I want in this life?"

Now let me say that I very much honor and respect the
inputs I've had and that is: certainly don't focus or put energy
into the negative, don't put energy and thought into the lack of
what you want ... do the positive thing and put your energy (like
every day) into, here's what I want, here's why I deserve it, here's
why it makes sense to me ... fine, and that all sounds pretty good
to me.

Okay, but I've recently had another idea, and the idea is
that there's sort of a subtle difference here, in that identifying
and focusing on "What I want.” ... and the vocabulary sort of
makes playing, in a sense "I don't have it now" and therefore I am
focusing and putting energy in "I don't have it" and that that's the
lack of it, that suppose instead, I said, more like an affirmation,
"I choose to be whole and healthy. I choose to have great
abundance. I choose the relationships that satisfy me.”

Would that be more effective?

Elan- Absolutely wording it in the positive is the shortest

path to manifesting it, that aligns you to the positive choice and
that is the idea. Stating it as to who you are not, constantly
stating who you are not, still places emphasis on the thing itself,
as though the Universe does not hear the “not.” Saying for
instance, “I don’t want to be sick”, still focuses on the “sick”,
whereas “I am healthy” focuses on the health. Therefore, these
310
 Your Power on a Plate
overall ideas are a very constructive way to remain focused on
the goal, on the prize, and again with that approach and focus as
a foundation, be mindful of the things that stand out as being
exciting to act upon. That is merely the foundation.

It is the actions that you take from your excitement with

integrity that then would seem to move the reality to have that
be in present time, rather than off in some distant future. But
those are the qualities that would allow you to attract it most
quickly, primarily the idea that you are already whole, and that
whatever or whoever you attract will be a reflection of that
wholeness ... as opposed to individuals who think of themselves
as half a Being who needs to attract the other Being, their so-
called “other half” to be a whole. But even in that way of
expressing yourself, the emphasis remains on the
incompleteness, or lack of 100% wholeness.

The faulty logic in that approach is that one then always

attract the person, place, or thing from a foundational feeling
that they are incomplete and so the person, place or thing can
only reflect back to them incompleteness ... the foundation with
which they attracted it. So, stating yourself as already whole
allows you to, in that sense, express that wholeness and attract
reflections of the wholeness rather than the sense of lack.

Q- So that difference in words can make a difference,

that it's better to say, "I choose" rather than "I want"?

Elan- “Choose" is the more empowered statement. "I

want" implies built into it, that it's something you don't have and
therefore, because you don't have it that you must be, at least
slightly, incomplete. “Choice” is more definite, choice is more
intentional, choice is what you make anyway. Because I remind
you, do not let this confuse you, simply listen to it and allow it to
seep in,

311
 Your Power on a Plate
"I am complete" and “I am not complete" are both true,
they're both realities, they're both options, they both exist within
the Infinite potential. You get to choose either one, because
both are true in the ultimate sense. The one you decide is the
one you’ll experience because that’s the one you’ll express.
Focusing on I AM complete is the more powerful of all of these
statements, even more powerful than “choose.” But “choose”
still expresses that power, your power to decide.

You cannot escape the fact that they both exist, and it is
your strength that they both exist, not your weakness ... because
the more options you have, the more you have to choose from.
And so therefore, which one will you express? "I am incomplete,
or I am complete" ... and it will be up to you to decide.

In saying, "I choose," you are very purposefully making

that distinction, creating that decision, and that is, again, the
more empowered way to go about it. I will not say 'better" ...
simply more empowered.

Q- But "choosing" puts forth the idea that that's who I am

right now...

Elan- ... "because I choose it" ... and I will choose

something anyway, so why not choose the thing I prefer to be
and then have my actions be consistent with that choice, so
then, "I am that person.”

Q- You've confirmed what felt "better" to me.

Elan- We have simply described the idea of why

choosing something from the positive is more empowering and
pointed than not wanting something from the negative and thus
to keep reminding yourself of the thing that you don't want.

Q- Or reminding yourself that you want something

because you don't have it now.
312
 Your Power on a Plate
Elan- Yes, but when you “get” that thing ... what is it you
imagine that you will be that you are not already now? Perhaps
one of the things is "happy.” Alright, why not build happiness
into the decision, rather than having everything being a series of
actions to "become" something that you are not. You might as
well decide, "I'm going to be happy right now, and so before I do
anything, allow me to gauge my actions so that my actions are
reflective of a happy point of view, of an already happy
disposition.” "So, I was about to do this certain thing is that a
type of action which is reflective of happiness?" YES or NO. It will
be obvious. If it isn't happy ... don't do it. Find out what will be an
expression of the happiness. If it is happy ..., do it. But the idea
is, this is where you bridge the gap between the decision and the
action and again it will appear to you that the actions are what
make the difference.

Now perhaps in some conceptual way we will get into

certain distinctions in future interactions, that the actions are
actually not necessary. The reason that we do not do that now is
because you are all functioning from certain assumptions,
some of which are more deeply rooted than others and for now
the "path of least resistance" in the way that you express
yourself, is to factor in the action.

But ultimately, because you are an expression of

consciousness, and we will be able to discuss these
distinctions at a later time, actually shifting and making the
decision is what really changes the reality. But I do not mean to
confuse things by introducing that now.

Q- It's interesting to me that, to really use and go in

accordance with the laws of the Universe, sometimes it gets a
little subtle.

Elan- Indeed, but it’s always your option to also relish

the subtleties. Perhaps you can say they’re the icing on the cake.
313
 Your Power on a Plate
IT IS A JOY
WALKING IN STEP WITH YOUR POSITIVE DECISION
(It will be a re-enforcement result.)

When deciding who you are and seeing the things that
excite you and seeing yourself doing those things, also be
mindful of what you feel in terms of emotion, in terms of the way
that you look at yourself ... in terms of the way that you express
yourself and interpret your reality and factor those emotions
into your decision ... now.

You do not need to first do anything to become

something else. You first become something and then you do
something, and that is, mechanically speaking, the accurate
order. In that sense, believing (or the belief that you express,
because you contain them both) is seeing.

So, your willingness to express a certain belief

consciously, according to preference will allow you to create the
evidence that supports that decision. And so therefore aligning
yourself to the positive as a choice, because ... you are the
“transcendental observer” who will eventually say from the
choices available, "I choose that one", that is where your power
lies.

And you always have the ability to gauge your response,

your “response-ability” which is: before you act ... be aligned to
who you are fully so that those actions are a reflection of that
decision about who you are. Then the results of those actions
can only also be a direct expression of who you are. Subtle
distinctions? Yes. Difficult? No. New? No, you already do it,
always have, always will in some form while you are exploring
physicality.

And so, you have all the tools you need to express
yourselves as full, Conscious Beings expressing your ability to
314
 Your Power on a Plate
create your reality consciously, according to preference ...
according to desire. You have it all. There is nothing to gain,
nothing to "become" that you are not already, except your
willingness to acknowledge, choose and decide that aspect of
yourself.

You do not become "happy" because something

"happens.” You choose happiness and then say, “I chose
happiness because that happened" but ultimately, you decided
to be happy at some point, and that is what produced the
happiness.

Nothing is "dangling" before you like a carrot out of

reach, unless you build into your decision,” It’s dangling before
me.”

This is the degree of control that you have over the

expression of your reality. The “nature” of how you create
yourself as a Physical Being will still give you what we call ... "the
joy of unexpected outcomes" (outcomes that aren't exactly
what you expected). But as you walk in step with your clearest
desired intention, as you walk in step with your positive
decision, unexpected many outcomes may be, but negative,
they will never be interpreted as. It is a joy! "Ah, I wanted this
result, but this happened instead, and I like this so much
better!" That is what your relationship with the unexpected
outcome will become. It will become a re-enforcement result.
The unexpected result will always carry the “better” on its wings.

At this timing, allow me to once again and for the first

time thank you for your willingness to express yourselves in our
direction so-to-speak. We appreciate this beyond measure,
more than what perhaps you are considering, and we feel the
deep desire to express to you that. We unconditionally love you
all and appreciate your willingness to interact with us in this, and
in fact any, way. I thank you.

Chapter Nine

Welcome

The door is open. Walk through, if you wish. Have a

good time. Welcome to the edge of FOURTH DENSITY
consciousness.

At this timing, allow me to simply remind you of what you

already know foundationally, and that is that fundamentally,
you are not Beings that are beginning to expand. You are
expanded Beings who are beginning to express yourselves in
more and more expanded terms.

In the moment that you fully commit to who you are,

decide who you are, trust who you are and continuously act in
that way, you are already being a conscious Creator which is, in
that sense, the definition of one of the main aspects of Fourth
Density consciousness.

And so, you are not truly "Third Density" Beings moving
toward "Fourth Density," most accurately you are a Being who is
317
 Your Power on a Plate
now treading on both sides, though at times still expressing
yourself in slightly disempowered and unempowered terms.
Perhaps in those instances you will understand you are taking
the "Third Density" approach.

Often now, you are also beginning to express yourself in

the more empowered terms, allowing the synchronicity of your
circumstances to deliver things to you, using ... utilizing ... acting
... and putting into action what you know to be true for you.

You are then finally being "Fourth Density.” And so, you
truly now are, perhaps most accurately, "Third ... transitional
Fourth Density" Beings, rather than either one alone.

Perhaps the way that this all may appear at first, is that
when you are expressing your Fourth Density consciousness the
dots seem to connect. When you are intermittently expressing
your Third Density consciousness you have disempowered
assumptions that lead it to seem as though the dots do not
connect. However, they still do. And always when you shift back
to your Fourth Density consciousness you will realize that what
you considered to be the dots not connecting, was simply a long
pause between two dots connecting.

As you begin to express yourself fully and consistently in

Fourth Density terms you realize, experientially, knowingly, fully,
that the reality that you used to assume you existed within,
instead exists within you. And that you still choose to express
yourself in time and in space, you still choose to have a
distinctive linear experience, but you remove the ideas of
"unconscious," “subconscious,” “unpreferred” and negative
outcomes. You remove the idea of it happening to you, and you
live the reality that it is all happening from you.

So, I welcome each and every one of you to the edge of

your Fourth Density consciousness, for at some point or another
318

you have all already experienced and expressed that expanded
state of being in your lives, and many of you continue to do so on
what you call a "regular basis.”

Simply, being willing to revel in your shift, revel in your

change, see where you are now being the version of you that
you’ve always wished to be, and also see where your opinion of
who you wish to be changes (allowing that feedback to come in)
will allow you to continue to express yourself consciously, fully,
according to preference and desire ... actually deciding who you
are, trusting that that decision has taken place and sticks, and
then acting with the foundation of that decision (and those
actions then seeming to bring back the positive effects of that
decision) consistently.

Therefore, you are already there, and it is simply a matter

of the idea that you more and more frequently allow yourself to
acknowledge, "I'm already there ... I'm already that person" and
there is nothing to simply do but acknowledge it and BE it. As you
do acknowledge these ideas, everything around you transforms.
Things seem less and less “mundane;” your perceptions,
experiences and outcomes. What you call “miraculous”
outcomes become the rule and not the exception. Things begin
to happen that simply did not seem at all possible previously,
and finally, you begin to literally “bend” time and space. Once
you begin to emerge from the edges of the confines of time and
space, almost anything becomes possible, and you no longer
simply have only “linear” experiences. You begin to have
transcendental experiences and you get to experience both
options. At this point outcomes are no longer completely
contingent on what you call your “laws of physics.” And then
things get really interesting.

Because we are always expressing the most expanded

version of our physical consciousness, we only now walk in the
319
 Your Power on a Plate
Fourth Density. This causes our personal frequency or vibration
to remain at a higher wavelength, comparatively speaking. This
terminology of “higher” does not in ANY way infer better. The
expression of a higher frequency is to have a physical
experience that is more connected, more “rarified”, being more
aware of the inherent Infinite aspects of one’s Infinite nature.
This results in experiencing a greater sense of inter-
connectedness, community, collaboration, synergy and the
emergence and evolution of tel-empathy between you and
“others.” We choose to live our lives in bliss and ecstasy. We
choose to be whoever we want, choose to do whatever we want,
and we have the perfect atmosphere to express ourselves in
whatever way is most natural, effective and passionate.

We have interacted with many other worlds and many

other societies, and we do so on an ongoing basis. My particular
“team” (for a lack of a better word, this is not precisely how we
look at it) specializes in First Contact scenarios. We have a great
deal of experience with this style of First Contact that is the most
effective for both ends of this style of contact; ours, and yours.
We have learned to approach worlds that have not yet ventured
out into what you call “outer space” with a slow, measured,
patient, gentle, unconditionally loving, synchronistic and
flexible approach.

What you call the “channeling” phenomenon is a

wonderful way for us to set the stage for possible eventual
physical contact. We say “possible” because we do not insist
that the contact has to happen if the majority of your world does
not desire it. We approach a new society through channeling
because it allows them to accept the possibility of our
existence, while still maintaining enough distance and
uncertainty about the authenticity of the phenomenon from
your side, so that individuals who are ready can ease their way
in at their own pace, while those that are not ready to accept
320
 Your Power on a Plate
that we exist, can still simply continue to think that this is all
nonsense, and comfortably continue on with their regular daily
existence. It’s actually a very creative solution to allow for a very
gentle First Contact to initialize.

Our guidelines for physical face-to-face contact are that

we are invited by you en masse. Your world is your own and you
have to agree macrocosmically to invite our physical presence
and interaction in order for us to reveal our existence to you in a
physical way. We will not force our existence into your
awareness. We literally have what you have referred to in your
science fiction, as a “Non-Interference Directive.” We only
physically approach societies in an open way when we are
invited by the majority. This guideline has served us well. When
we first began to initiate First Contacts, we initially moved too
quickly in one instance, and the results were not as we intended.
We quickly learned that this channeling method of approaching,
communicating through individual consciousnesses, is the
most respectful, efficient, prudent, and comfortable way to feel
out a new society for First Contact, in both directions.

One of the other reasons that we introduce options to

expand yourself and raise your frequency vibration is that this
makes any possible physical interaction between us more
comfortable and pleasant. You see, when consciousness of
extremely different frequencies come into proximity of one
another, there is an interesting effect which can be quite
uncomfortable (for both sides of the interaction but here we will
discuss your side). When a consciousness of a much higher
frequency comes into proximity with a consciousness of a much
lower frequency the predominant effect is that the higher
frequency consciousness quickly raises the lower frequency
consciousness, in a sense forces it upward. As we have said
before in our interactions with you, this is similar to two gears,
one moving faster, the other moving slow, to instantly come into
321
 Your Power on a Plate
contact. In this case, the faster gear forces the lower gear to
suddenly spin more quickly. This sudden forcing up of the
frequency has an interesting effect on the lower frequency
consciousness. The effect is that the lower frequency
consciousness is suddenly and instantaneously “opened up”
and this takes the form of many thoughts and emotions rushing
to the surface, thoughts and emotions that the lower frequency
consciousness have hidden from itself like a shell game. Your
so-called “subconscious” ideas, memories, fears, and even
denials all come rushing to the surface. When these notions are
“forced” to the surface, this causes an overwhelming “flush” of
emotion that often will be experienced as, what you call, abject
terror. And even though there is nothing inherently dangerous
within the interaction itself, this effect is very overwhelming to
you, and can even be psychologically injurious to you depending
on the state that you are creating your consciousness at that
moment, if you have not first taken the steps to first raise that
frequency.

This is another reason that we share our ideas with you.

Should you choose to accept them, and we never insist that you
do, you get a “leg up” in raising your frequency. In the process,
you begin to make all of your previously considered
“subconscious” ideas integrate into your conscious awareness.
In effect, you empty your subconscious closet, which by the
way, is just an illusory construct to begin with. And if you utterly
embrace, embody, and express yourself fully, authentically, and
consistently, you come close enough to our frequency that your
coming into our proximity will no longer have that extreme effect
on you, and instead the predominant effect will be that you will
feel as though you are in a dream-like state when we meet. We
know you will find this far more comfortable and desirable. You
can choose to take our word for this if you wish. We’ve done this
all before and it does work marvelously.

322
 Your Power on a Plate
Again, First Contact is not essential for us. We do not
insist that we ever meet, nor would we experience
“disappointment” if we do not meet. It is not in our nature.
However, if you do invite contact societally, we find it most
exciting, desirable, and delightful. In the meantime, we also
revel in communicating in this way because to us, this is all VERY
real. And we revel in whatever contact you do allow, as we all
make joyous discoveries together from exchanging our many
diverse points of view.

If it is to be, once we finally meet face-to-face and your

whole world knows about our existence, things will change
drastically “down” here. There’s no, as you say, “putting that
genie back into the bottle.” Once physical contact occurs, you
are simply in a new phase of your global awareness and
experience and there is simply no turning back. And so, this style
of a slightly removed first approach is an ideal way for us to “test
the waters,” to gently ease our way into the awareness of those
that are closer to accepting their more expanded and Infinite
nature. In the process, this allows the individuals upon your
planet that are ready to expand their conscious awareness, to
begin to expand back into aspects of their Infinite nature, to have
access to simple steps that can initiate that personal evolution,
while still allowing those who are “wrapping up” their
exploration of extreme limitation to move at their own pace. This
is a very simplified version of what is happening, but it will do for
now.

This allows us to introduce ourselves, our basic ideas,

our vision of inter-connectedness and unity, and to introduce
opportunities for expansion to any civilization that is emerging
from exploring the more extreme aspects of physicality. These
extreme aspects of exploring extremely limited expression of
consciousness include experiences that you are quite familiar
with: feelings of being separated from the totality of reality and
323
 Your Power on a Plate
each other, literally forgetting that you create it all, feeling
emotions like loneliness, despair, depression, anger, self-
judgement, resentment, frustration, anxiety, helplessness,
hate, prejudice and the other so-called “negative” emotions.
Once you expand and create yourself according to preference
with integrity, these emotions will simply disappear from your
awareness and direct experience, they truly become irrelevant.
But you still have free will and can continue to explore them until
you are ready, at your own pace and in your own timing, to finally
emerge from being the “Masters of Limitation.” Remember to
us, all explorations are valid and so we choose to only validate
all manners of the expression of consciousness. And, as we
have said, we admire the courage in you that it takes to explore
the extremes of limitation.

So, you can see that our communication in this book

serves more than simply one purpose. But ultimately you are
only reading this book and noticing our presence because you
have attracted it. You can only experience the reality that you’re
being the vibration of. If you’re reading this and it resonates with
you, you are completely ready to take the next steps in what
appears to you to be the evolution of your consciousness. I
remind you, once again, that you are already complete, and you
are already fundamentally an Infinite consciousness. When you
explore physicality, you take that actuality and create many
apparencies. One of these apparencies is that you are born and
that this is your beginning. You seem to “enter” this exploration,
so-to-speak, having imposed a purposeful amnesia about your
true nature. This allows the focused apparency that you “come
in” as a “blank slate” which then grows and expands. This gives
you the illusion that you evolve. But all of this is only relevant
while experiencing the illusion. You finally get to the point in the
illusion where you begin to wake up while still in the illusion, and
this is what appears to you to be the evolution of your

324
 Your Power on a Plate
consciousness. We deeply appreciate that many of you invite us
to participate in this apparent “phase” of your awareness. To us
it is no less than an honor. However, once you invite us, we
remind you of the true nature of the whole experience and
remind you that you are not truly evolving, you are simply, in
allowing the amnesia to subside incrementally, expanding into
more of yourself. Congratulations, since you view this from your
perspective as a type of rite of passage, graduation or
commencement.

I thank you for your willingness in your expansion to

utilize what you may refer to as my "stream of consciousness"
for reflective purposes, and once again remind you that you are
the originating source of light and therefore anything that you
revel in, is only a reflection of yourself!

I bid you a most fond and loving good day, dream life and
life dream … see you soon …. maaaaybe.

Acknowledgments
Part of my agreement to bring this material through was
that I would fade into the background in the interim so that the
attention would remain on the message and not the messenger.
I have always completely believed in this body of information
and my lack of visibility is not ever intended to suggest
otherwise. My best validation and expression of this information
is to live it, to “walk the talk”, not merely discuss it, and as a
personal decision, not use it for personal gain. All of the
sessions and the .pdf download version of this book (at
elaninteractions.com) are offered completely free of charge. Do
feel free to print out the downloaded version, if you prefer the
free version, it is now the complete volume. The only exception
to this agreed-upon mandate of providing the material au gratis
are the printed versions of this book, which have a cost to
produce, and so are offered for sale online, if one feels the need
for a physical copy of the printed book.

First and foremost, I deeply thank Elan and Anya. Anya is

Elan’s counterpart, and she has been a largely silent yet
significant participant during the entire process. Thank you for
showing up, thank you for the ongoing revelations, inspiration,
and support; and thank you for remaining available until this
day. And naturally, thank you to your past selves, which are very
personal and dear to me.

From my heart, I would like to express my deepest

gratitude and appreciation to Maui Decker-Dahl and William
Decker for their tireless work on compiling the original edition of
this book. Maui dedicated so much time to all of the sessions
from the first to the last. She was by my side throughout the
whole adventure, always providing support, with unconditional
love, laughter, and joy.

328
 Your Power on a Plate

This edition is dedicated to her, with all of my love. These days

she is participating from the other side.

So many people have been involved with these

interactions throughout the years, and none of this would come
to fruition without participation of each and every one of them.
Of special note, thanks to Mary Anders, who in many ways, got
me started on this adventure. Our initial gatherings at her house
introduced me to many people that facilitated these
interactions over the years, including my dear friends and family
Barbara Ross, Theodore Hall (Theodorable), Cecil Minor, Bob
and Carol Hill, John Heim, Vincent Liberti, Sr., Paul Beigel, and
later, Tracey Anderson, Lois Hastings, Debbie Miles, Gary Morin,
Tony Minervino, Kenny Lloyd, Frank Dixon, Mark Holland,
Marguerite Carney (Firefly), James Riverstone, Martha Stone, Pia
Vasanti, and of course finally, Darryl Anka and Bashar.

Special thanks to Egan Sanders and Jo-Ann Chinn. Their

subsequent loving procurement and curation of the material
helped to pave the way for this new phase of release, allowed
many new people to access the information, and, as well, had a
deeply personal impact on my own life in a very special,
miraculous, and lovely way.

And lastly, thanks go out to all those who participated in

the interactions, whether in the original sessions, or in the
present moment. The time is now for the gathering together of
many like-minded people. If you find yourself here now, it is
perfect timing. The adventure continues. I thank you all from the
bottom of my heart.
