I know "intrusiveness" has been an issue with a few people in the forum because they felt that this was something new that Elias had not addressed before, but when I searched the transcripts I found that Elias has mentioned this quite a few times over the years, and even stated early on that this was a "complicated subject matter" and then Elias went on to say, "At a point within a future time framework I shall be discussing this subject matter more fully and more explicitly with individuals, offering explanation of the manner in which this type of action may be incorporated and the reason that it is expressed to not be incorporating that type of action, for it is in actuality hurtful to yourself. But this is a different subject matter than what we are incorporating presently."

I have discussed this with a friend recently, and I told her that the part about intrusiveness does make sense to me, and I did not have a problem with it because I do not see it, and YCYR to be mutually exclusive concepts. She had wanted me to share what I said to her with the forum because she said my interpretation made some sense to her, but unfortunately I have the memory of a goldfish lately and I can't quite remember. :)

I know the one thing that stands out for me about the concept of intrusiveness can be demonstrated in the difference between Acceptance 101 and Acceptance 102. In Acceptance 101 Elias says not to concern ourselves with other individuals since when we are focused on 101 we are working on the acceptance of self. But when we move our attention to Acceptance 102 we are widening our awareness to include others, and to being more aware of SELF, and how we are affecting all of consciousness. Of course this is only my take on the concept. I also want to state that I did not feel Elias was singling out any individuals as being intrusive. He was telling those there that they were aware enough to be responsible for themselves, but he was not scolding or judging anyone in my perception.

Anyway, I have included a couple of excerpts on intrusiveness. One dates back to 1996. There are many more in the transcripts if anyone chooses to do further research. In some of the sessions I have scanned I have seen Elias say that essences are not intrusive to other essences but focuses can be. It all seems to really be a matter of awareness.

From session 114

VICKI: So in the middle of the action though, of instigating it, I wasn’t aware of that. How do you know? How do you know what you should follow through with or not, in that sort of a pushy action? Because in the middle of it, it wasn’t clear to me.

ELIAS: As I have expressed early in our sessions, if you engage an action of intrusiveness, you will know.

VICKI: Well, I actually felt rather intrusive that night.

ELIAS: It will be expressed. It will be expressed in the form of either actual verbalization on the part of another individual, or you will experience an energy exchange allowing you to understand the reflection of the action. If you were to be continuing within your action of what you view to be pushing in this meditation, and there were to be a true expression on the part of the other individuals involved, you would know. You only interpret that individuals express an action out of obligation, for this is your perception. Individuals do not engage if they do not choose! We have expressed this previously. You will not engage without choosing to be engaging. Each individual creates their own reality and their own expression. This enters every aspect, every moment of your focus.

VICKI: And within that, I suppose it matters not whether or not the engagement is the most efficient or not.

ELIAS: Partially. Within your present perception and understanding and allowance, it is efficient; for within your present acceptance and trust and allowance, each of your expressions are efficient. This is not to say that you do not possess choices that may be more efficient, but you engage those choices which you view to be the most efficient presently, within your present moment, within your present awareness and your present perception. You ask if your expression is efficient. Therefore, I answer, you hold more efficient choices. I do not express that you are wrong. I also do not express that you hold more efficient choices, if you do not express a willingness to know! (Pause, smiling)

VICKI: Okay.

ELIAS: Much is withheld, as you are already aware, for you express no desire within this present moment for the information. Therefore, you are offered information that you express the desire to have.’’ (5) [session 114, August 18, 1996]

From session 991

PAUL H: So each focus – and you’ve said this before but I’m just coming at it from a different way – I mean it’s, as our friend Vic (pointing to where she usually sat on her sofa) would say, ‘BIG.’ (6)

ELIAS: Quite!

PAUL H: Vast. Because we say, ‘We’re just a single focus, blah-blah, and we’re so little.’ But it’s vast, the energy involved in a single focus of attention.

ELIAS: Now incorporate that concept into the concept of you and the powerfulness of you. If you are generating all of this action continuously in one focus of attention, the power that you incorporate is unlimited. (Intently) Without limit.

PAUL H: And there’s responsibility that comes with that power.

ELIAS: To self.

PAUL H: To self, in the context of expression of essence, as you’ve expressed.

ELIAS: Correct.

PAUL H: Is that an innate quality, this responsibility to self, as you open, become aware, the thinker of the thoughts, the dreamer of the dreams? It’s hard to articulate. I have a conceptual sense of an innate action occurs of awareness widening and a sense of responsibility to self and how self deals with ... in the context of this whole vast array of energy, of consciousness.

ELIAS: Correct, yes. For in this, you become objectively more aware of the lack of separation in this vastness in the expression of consciousness, and therefore you recognize that there is no action of intrusion. For in NOT expressing of essence, in your terms, that which you express is expressed to yourself.

In your physical terms, in narrow expression, if you are generating an action in physical manifestation that is hurtful to another individual, or that which you deem to be intrusive to another individual, you are not creating hurtfulness or intrusiveness to another individual. You are [creating hurtfulness] to yourself, for that which you project outwardly is merely a reflection of yourself. It all is your perception, therefore it is your reality, therefore it is you.

PAUL H: Thank you.’’ [session 991, January 21, 2002]

    One more time: you now exist, you think, in a physical universe. Your fourth-density transformation is where you begin to realize you are the creator of your reality. What that means is that physical reality is your expression, is your projection, is your creation; that it's actually made of you. It means you are actually it; that physical reality is you. When you really grasp this, you then see yourselves literally as the dimension of experience of which you previously thought you were only a component

    That’s how it is for every level. You begin to realize you are the dimension itself that you previously thought you were only a part of. And here's the wonderful paradox of the whole circumstance. Each and every single one of you, as an individual, will experience yourselves becoming the whole dimension. Each of you will think that all the other consciousnesses you have seen as individuals are being in a sense absorbed into you. You will all have the same experience because the universe is holographically structured. That means that any point of view can exist equally everywhere within creation. And that all points of view are relevant and all true." -- Bashar
