Belief System
Carol: What’s the origin of a belief system?
Bashar: It’s the formulation of a structure which you will create for your understanding of yourself within the projection of yourself into physical dimensionality as you understand that idea for the purpose of viewing yourself through a perspective that is also unavailable to you in any other system.
Asker: How do you choose a channel?
Bashar: I’ll say with most of what you told me, with mediums or a channel, you will find that there has already been an agreement, for the most part previous to what you also perceive as the physical life now present.
There is an agreement between the channel and me prior to the channel’s physical life.
On a Delayed Channeling Agreement
Asker: I was told once by another spirit that I would be channeling.
There was a female going to be coming through me.
I was told it was going to happen immediately.
It’s been quite a bit of time has passed.
So I just wonder if you sense that I have had that agreement prior to this life that I would be channeling someone.
Bashar: How did you feel about the idea.
Asker: I did not feel when I was told that I would be doing it immediately. It was used to get me to take some steps forward. It was used as a spiritual carrot for me.
Bashar: Do you feel that you have been following yourself, the spiritual carrot that you have taken yourself where you need to be?
Asker: Yes. That serves me fine for the present, and the future I guess I’ll discover when it comes.
Bashar: You will unfold always within perfect timing as you have chosen this here now present life as you understand it within physical dimensionality.
Your timing unfolds perfectly at every point of time that you create to experience your physical life.
There is simply the recognition also of the idea of integration within yourself of your own male and female components.
On Ecstasy and Negativity
Asker: In certain environments, it’s very easy to express love.
In others there’s a feeling of almost hatred and wanting to hit people, agitation, irritation, and anger.
Bashar: Do you feel that it is necessary to experience the dichotomy, polarization, in order to give experience ecstasy at the same time?
Can you maintain an ecstatic life if you also maintain a balance of what you perceive to be a negative aspect so that you may always not have to worry that you will lose the ability to create the ecstatic side of your life as well?
Bashar: I’ll say view the idea that you are still exploring to some degree the idea that you cannot, or that you have to enforce or maintain the idea of what you turn to be ecstatic existence by force. In other words, it’s not something natural. It’s something that you always feel will counterbalance itself with its polar opposite in that way so that you will not allow yourself simply to know again that there really are no interruptions in your life in that way, and that simply when you put the idea into worrying about falling out of your ecstatic existence, you will be feeling the fear of creating those negative circumstances, and thus you will constantly bring them into realization.
Asker: There is a fear there to some degree though it’s getting smaller and smaller. But the negative manifestation doesn’t feel good. It’s unpleasant. I would prefer not to create that.
Bashar: Be my guest. You are creating it. Will you allow yourself to let it be all right to have created and not judge yourself for creating it? You will not be feeding the negative effect. You follow me? I will not be feeling the negative effect. Feeding.
Any idea which you create, even though you may immediately perceive it as a negative effect, if you simply allow yourself to unfold it in the way that you understand it is part and parcel of the overall momentum which you are creating toward your own positive self-realization, then you will not judge yourself for having created that seemingly negative effect, and you will not reinforce the negativity within that effect and become stuck in that cycle.
On Face-to-Face Contact and Building Spacecraft
Asker: When you people are going to show yourself in 9 years, what you say at that time, would you be teaching us how to build the spacecraft to do what you’re doing?
Bashar: Not really. Understand first of all that many individuals on our planet at this time are endeavoring that undertaking on their own. Also understand that to some degree we will not be here to teach you, as we are not here to teach you. Again understand every being is their own teacher. We are simply here by your own allowance to remind you of what you already know. You follow me?
Understand simply also that the idea we have expressed to you about the ability to come face to face with you within nine of your years time as you understand time to exist will be dependent upon the level of energy that you are expressing toward the idea of being equal to other civilizations in that way, and not considering yourselves less and not considering us to be your teachers.
Asker: Yeah. So, it’s very likely we’ll be well on our way to be building those spacecraft on our own.
Bashar: There will be little more understanding at that time. You will be in your terms on your way to a degree.
On Helping a Brother with Mental Illness
Asker: My brother is paranoid schizophrenic, he has had shock treatment, many drugs, and it’s not been helped at all over the past 10-15 years.
Bashar: you have already begun to help in the sense that you have created for yourself the type of reality in which you are existing that will allow that individual to reach to you, to recognize within you the idea that he might wish to attain for himself.
And so allowing yourself to create that reality for yourself, in allowing yourself to be empowered of yourself to know that you’re creating exactly the reality that you wish to create, that you’re creating for yourself a sense of the idea of existing within ecstatic joy and creating within your own overall progressive momentum, you will be reinforcing that reality within All-That-Is.
if you are reinforcing that reality within All-That-Is, you allow that individual then to perceive more clearly that facet within himself and allow that individual therefore to understand that that reality may be possible for him as well.
Therefore, you have already begun to help in the very best way that you can: by bringing everything that you know yourself to be, by allowing yourself to become excited about the idea that you are in that sense All-That-Is and can create whatever reality you desire from your excitement, that you can focus your consciousness through the idea of ecstatic joy by being completely empowered of your own idea and understanding that by being empowered of your own idea and recognition of yourself as All-That-Is, you will be providing the best possible service to All-That-Is and every individual within it.
Allow yourself to:
- proceed with compassion, not pity. Compassion and feeling.
- simply be, not preach, but be the example of the reality that you wish to be, understanding for yourself that it is a very enjoyable reality.
And as such, you will be sending information on many different levels of consciousness to your brother in that way, reinforcing that you will allow him to create for himself his own light at the end of his tunnel.
On the Meaning of “Mass” Contact
Asker: I thought you were going to meet us in mass and then you said you weren’t.
Bashar: Simply there will be the possibility at that time for there to be face-to-face interactions.
En masse for you and en masse for us might be very different figures.
At this time, we are meeting none of you face to face from our civilization.
Therefore, even if three of us were to meet you face to face, that would be quite a massive effort in our terms. And also to the degree that the amount of people here meet you, that’s dependent on their growth also. Not growth, but their change. Their awareness of their own equality to every idea within themselves.
On Synchronicity and a Book
Asker: I found a neat book that verifies sociologically, animistically, the sociological and political and economic changes that are going on in our society. It’s called The Aquarian Conspiracy.
Bashar: You’re allowing yourself then to become aware of that facet of yourself which already vibrates at the level of existence to which you can perceive all that interaction, all that synchronicity, all that coincidence which is creating that new awareness of your own mass consciousness from a different point of view.
Asker: What you told me last Monday is continuing to happen. You know how things are overlapping in my life. Things are coming forward and ending, and I’m reading this book by Stephen, and I’ll go on in my life and all of a sudden I’ll be reading the next section in the book and it was almost like my dream reality is creating the next step for me.
Bashar: Very good. You’re allowing your own momentum to become very transparent to you.
A Dream of a Leopard
Asker: I had a dream of a woman called Penelope. She talks to animals easily. She’s taught me to do that also, not to the same degree but comfortably for myself.
There were 2 animals in the dream. One was like a leopard and another one was a leopard. I felt this beauty within the leopard that I wanted to touch it and caress it and show it love and admiration, but I was a little bit afraid.
So she said, “Well, I’ll show you something.” So she had the leopard open its mouth as wide as it could and she stuck her head where the jaws are, and then she withdrew her head and said, “Now you do it.”
I was afraid to, but I trusted her. So I said, “Okay, I’ll do it.” And so I did.
Then I had this thought to the leopard when it was occurring. My thought was, “You realize that I’m really afraid to do this. There is fear here.” And the leopard said, “Yes, I do. I know that.” It was like it knew. And there was this instant rapport and everything. And it was wonderful. And then I wasn’t afraid anymore.
The thing that I taught myself about that dream was that we tend to ignore sometimes the ramifications of mass consciousness, that to the degree that we also are transforming, so are other things: the animals, the trees, the rocks, everything as well. And it was quite a wonderful thing I taught myself.
I was sitting at my dresser and I had my hand up like this, and I looked over in the mirror and I saw my hand.
I do this often, but suddenly I had a new realization of it. It’s like that hand was just as real to me as this one. I looked at it had form and shape and dimension and everything. And it was just like a little prompt for myself saying, you know, you’re on the right track and that your imagination, your dreams, everything is just as real as the picture in the mirror. And so I projected into the hand in the mirror and I could feel it. It was good.
Bashar: Understand right now that that is why that tool for you will be to some degree an accurate representation of the idea that every reality that you project is a reflection of another aspect of you.
Shifting Realities and Perceiving Negativity
What is mass consciousness? As we change, each of us is actually shifting into new universes of ourselves, and every facet and everything in that universe will be… there will be others there that will be willing to have you be the way you are and let you experience them from your new point of view.
The thing that confuses me a little bit on that is that I know I’m changing and I know the individuals around here and the mass consciousness as a whole is unfolding and becoming new and different without losing any of its old. But there are still in the society individuals who are creating things like torturing animals and doing things to each other, and I’m just wondering if there is that portion of me that’s in their universe that still thinks that’s okay.
When you vibrate within your own perception of the reality you wish to form for yourself, remove yourself totally from a specific universe as regards their perception of you.
You will exist in every level of All-That-Is. But you may to those individuals not be perceived as existing within their universe since you do not vibrate at that level of existence.
That is why when there is travel from planet to planet, civilization to civilization, there will need to be:
- a shifting of vibratory existence
- a shifting of perspective
In this way, you will even perceive the civilization existing on that planet. Otherwise, it would appear possibly barren to you.
Allowing Others to Be
If the reality of people torturing animals and having this particular experience that they’re going through… I mean, it’s not something that I want to do.
But what I’m getting at is I will more or less shift myself out of that reality totally, whereas it’s okay if that’s what they need to be doing.
Understand that you will be allowing everything to be by simply allowing yourself to become whatever reality you identify with. So the maxim “to be able to experience anything” is quite a good one.
As you shift yourself further and further into your own idea of that reality which does not contain that idea, for you it will seem as if that idea changes or disappears from your world.
So if you totally lived your dreams and your dream was totally a wonderful world here and now, to a certain degree all of the perception, because everybody is everything, you would be perceiving their reality as defined by your definition of perception because that would be your vibrational point.
So irrespective of what somebody else might be perceiving as far as wars in Ethiopia, that type of thing, if you are perceiving at a certain level of perfection in your estimation of what you desire to achieve and experience, then to that degree all of the vibrational levels that other people are creating on that particular level, whether other people are experiencing it or not, you will have that to a certain degree.
On Shifting the Present and the Example of Her Son
Asker: Last week we were talking about the quiet times, you could say the times of withdrawal to rest. And you talked about allowing the path to shift.
And that was extremely helpful to me. And so that handled those quiet times, and then it handled the past and the future because I was allowing them to shift. And then I found myself still having these icky times in the present. I wasn’t really happy with my present. And what I finally spotted was that I wasn’t allowing the present. I wasn’t allowing the people around me, the things around me to shift as I shifted.
So then when I changed that, boy, I want to tell you it was great. And you’re absolutely right that they’ll be totally different.
Just little tiny examples, but they’re big examples when you’re a mother. I have a two-and-a-half-year-old son and he doesn’t want to wear diapers to bed because he’s real proud of himself that he doesn’t have to, and so I let him go naked and then he has to pee about three times during the night and pees all over this towel and then I clean it up, which is fine because I’m within walking distance of a washing machine, but it has kept us kind of pinned because we didn’t want to go camping or anything because it was a problem.
And the idea occurred to me that there might be things that he’s doing that are just because I keep holding the same idea of him. I didn’t have any attention on it one way or the other as far as him peeing during the night, and that night he didn’t pee. He leaped up as soon as he felt himself starting to pee, and it was amazing. The next night, too.
And my husband too changed a whole bunch of different ways.
On Trying to Write a TV Series
Asker: I’d like to discuss the idea of evolving into your dream versus the impulse to create a particular part of it, like on a target series and get this product done. I find personally that I vacillate between allowing myself to permeate and let it get done, and then the idea comes in: “Wait a minute, you’re going to get a specific product produced or you’re not going to get anywhere.”
Bashar: All right. Well, I’d like you to reflect a little bit of your thoughts on it so I can… My thoughts? Yeah. Why? Good question. Let’s see. I’ve got a specific example of one facet I’m trying to do is to create a treatment, an outline for a television series. There is some try too.
So spotting the try and getting the try out of the way helps. Also realize that while you are doing that, then that in and of itself is the reality. The reality of removing your tries, not the reality of writing what you wish to be writing. That’s true. Then that is what you are doing, and you are doing it very well. When you are finished with the idea of removing your tries, you will automatically be writing them without having to think about it.
A Stalled Theater Career
Asker: I have been in theater for close to 30 years on and off. I have found that the last few years of my life have gone downhill.
Bashar: You go much faster downhill.
I’ve been trying to climb up this hill.
Oh. Trying to climb. What makes you think there is another hill on the other side?
Why do I feel that as an entertainer I have a great deal to offer? I wish to offer the people that are willing to be entertained.
Bashar: Very good. You do have a great deal to share in that way. And the career is not going the way you thought it might.
What if the way you thought it should go is not the most fulfilling way for you to really share all that you can be with those people?
What if you are assuming that because there is this one idea in your mind about how you think it should unfold, you might be closing all the doors that may allow it to unfold in a different, more expansive level? But you are limiting your focus to this one idea of how you think it should unfold.
Realize that many individuals in creating for themselves seemingly negative situations in that way, as we said, do seem to be going downhill, but they thereby increase their momentum by taking themselves through a transition and a transformation of their mental state that will allow them to re-emerge on the other side with more than enough momentum to simply find themselves at the top of a much higher hill than they thought even possible for themselves. You follow me a little bit?
Asker: I think what I’m losing is the doing this on my part to get to that higher hill.
Bashar: Now understand that the only thing in that way keeping you from simply knowing that you’re already on that higher hill is your judgment of yourself.
Simply understand that you are making a separation between what you are and where you perceive the reality to be that excites you. Understand that that reality is you. It is you. You are the event.
Therefore, act like it. if you were sharing everything that you could possibly share within your own ecstatic, self-creative understanding of your consciousness, if you knew that that is what you were doing right now, would you be moping around?
Or would you feel very excited that you are now constantly sharing that ecstatic version of yourself, entertaining all those people right now in the best way that you possibly can?
Would you be excited if that were the situation right now?
Yes.
Then why not be excited right now and thereby create that situation for yourself? Understand that again many individuals upon your planet simply believe, outright think, that the idea of cause must come before the effect. Realize that cause and effect as you understand it are simply separations within the idea of time that you also create for yourself to experience that idea of limitation. The cause and the effect are the same event. Many individuals again by analogy look for reasons to be happy when all they need to do is understand they are already very happy. And by creating the effect of being happy, then nature, abhorring a vacuum, will supply more than enough reasons to support the happiness. You will attract to yourself all the reality that will also reflect accurately that degree of happiness that you believe yourself to exist within.
Now it is quite automatic. Every idea always, always, always (you may underline that with as many lines as you wish) always comes complete with all the ideas and ingredients necessary for its unfoldment completely, until you step in and separate yourself from the idea.
“That is not me now. That is me sometime way out in the future somewhere.” Well, if that is you way out there in the future somewhere, that is where it will always stay, way out there in the future somewhere, until you allow yourself to simply know that is exactly what you are right now and make it your reality, and act as if that is your reality right now. Understand then you will be sending all those messages, both physically and non-physically, that will attract all the individuals and situations to yourself.
You will be able to perceive the facets of all the individuals. They will be able to perceive you in their reality. Those levels of those individuals in that reality that will be looking for the facet of you to make the connection with, once you enter their reality and allow you the opportunity to express yourself in that way and to share your abilities with all those people.
On a Conversation with the Ego
Asker: Since I’ve been coming here to see you several Sundays, I know that it’s a tool for me to expand myself or just to have more experiences. But it seems that I had gotten kind of on this one idea or this track that this little me that’s right here in this physical universe viewpoint is the thing that needs to change so much.
I taught myself rather vividly the other day that that’s not exactly true. What occurred was I was sitting in one of these little quiet moments and I was just sort of playing around with different ideas and reflecting off myself about it, and I had this other little me over here that I at some time set up that’ll talk to me and ask me questions or give me information. And so I was sitting there, I was thinking this and that, and it was going, “Oh, but…” and I’d go, “Oh, okay. New way to look at it.” And it did this several times and I got a little bit irritated about it. And then I thought something again and it went, “But you ought to…” And all of a sudden I realized and I went, “What do you mean? Who do you think you are?” And it was like this stunned little moment for it. And it had this realization in its own right that it was me, you know, and then it disappeared. And it was quite interesting.
Bashar: Realize you were carrying on a conversation with your outer aware ego consciousness, and allowing it to understand that it will always, always be quite all right no matter where you choose to shift your perspective.
Realize that the purpose of your outer aware ego consciousness is to keep you firmly focused within physical reality. That is its job.
Therefore, understand that when you place judgment upon that idea, it will always feed back to you the idea that it will be very, very scared to lose itself into oblivion if you shift your perspective away from physical dimensionality.
Simply, when you allow yourself to know and let your physical aware ego consciousness know that always you will be integrated with it, and it need not fear the idea that you are going to explore other versions of yourself, it will integrate well within you so that you will simply allow the negative effect to vaporize.
It will always be with you as that ego consciousness in that way, but it will have lost its negative effect.
Asker: Interesting analogy. Yeah, when it disappeared, it did seem to sort of shift. I’ll just make a statement shift within me. It didn’t really shift anywhere as such, but it just disappeared in that framework. As if I didn’t need it anymore.
Bashar: You have called it back within yourself rather than projected it out in front of you.
Asker: Mine just disappeared.
On Outer Aware Ego Consciousness
Asker: What did you call those things?
Bashar: Ego awareness.
Asker: What things?
Bashar: These consciousness things that are like around you. Your ego consciousness is not around you till you put them there. Can you call them outer? O-U-T-E-R, outer, as opposed to inner. Outer aware ego consciousness. In other words, the idea that you perceive of yourself as a physical being, your analytical self, your thoughts about yourself all stem from your outer aware ego consciousness. You follow me? It is the effect that is created by the projection of your consciousness within physical dimensionality, creating and translating through what you turn to be mind.
Asker: But you can have your own thoughts irrespective of these outer aware ego consciousnesses.
Bashar: You do not have thoughts within non-physical consciousness. They are knowings. Thoughts are a product of the projection of your consciousness into physical dimensionality. That is one of the purposes for the creation of physical dimensionality: the creation of thought. What you recognize as the idea of being able to think about an idea seemingly as if that idea were separate from yourself, which it is not. When you do not use thought, you know that you are all ideas.
Asker: So my usual perception of these whatevers is around and sometimes they have certain spaces that they exist in.
Bashar: You’re making it a little more complex than it needs to be. There are not this bunch of things round and about you.
I am speaking about the idea that what you perceive to be your physical reality seems to be around you. It is a projection from you.
And when you reintegrate the idea within you, it will cease to appear to be something separate from yourself that talks to you from another point. You will understand that you are talking with yourself. You follow me?
Once you understand that what you turn to be the idea of this negative portion of your outer aware ego consciousness—the one that says “but you can’t do this” and “but you can’t do that”—is really a projection of yourself separated from yourself and seemingly talking back to you to reinforce the idea of your limitation within physical dimensionality.
Then you will understand that you are simply creating the idea again of that artificial screen of judgment and projecting your fears upon it, seemingly able to perceive it in the same way that you perceive your physical reality.
Asker: So to the degree that you integrate these whatevers, then you can operate from a state of knowingness then.
On Telepathic Tuning
Asker: Is that different than telepathically tuning into someone?
Bashar: In a sense, the idea will represent simply another function of your idea of communicating with a different aspect of yourself in that way. Understand simply that this is simply communication between different aspects of your consciousness.
A direct, simple idea of creating a separate portion of your consciousness with which you may converse. Now there is some similarity to some degree in the idea of telepathic communication in recognizing what has been established within your physical dimension as the idea of separate consciousness, and then recognizing that same link between yourself and that seemingly separate consciousness to form the telepathic bond.
On the Body Being Projected
Asker: Why does the body seem to be around me? I didn’t fully get that concept.
Bashar: Simply again, you are projecting out the idea of the creation of space within physical dimensionality means that you will then create the idea of your reality around your center. Follow me?
Asker: I got you. Is that a linear projection or in a sense?
Bashar: Yes. Although it will radiate in your terms 360 degrees spherically.
Asker: Is it being projected from a specific anchor point in the mass consciousness?
Bashar: Your own reality is being projected from the center of your own viewpoint. Now again understand that when you attempt to discuss the idea of a specific point within what you want to be space, there really is no such thing. You do not really exist anywhere in particular.
You are not jumping over a cliff. You are essentially bridging, as analogy, a semantic gap within All-That-Is.
The reason for the failure is because in between that gap there is all possible realities. That’s exactly, yeah. Therefore, you will always emerge on the other side of that gap simply being a new you.
I’ll say for the moment of the transition there is in your terms yes a blanking out momentarily of your outer aware ego consciousness, but then it is reformed to reorient you to the new reality you have created for yourself. It does not like to die in that way when you feel that the idea is a negative idea. When you integrate the idea within you, it will understand that it need not fear your understanding of crossing the gap and forming a new reality consciously for yourself, so that you may be able to do so at any time you wish consciously again.
Asker: There’s also in experiencing this kind of unity for me, at times there’s almost an agonizing boredom to it. There almost seems to be… well, hell, if nothing, it’s not all none of it is significant. And it’s all right.
Bashar: But again, understand that simply the idea of your boredom is a judgment upon the still time. In fact, it represents an interruption of what you feel to be a flow and not part of the flow itself, which it is.
Always explore the stillness. You will be very surprised at how noisy it really is.
