Neck and Shoulder Pain

On Food, Money, and Letting Go of Fear

Asker: I stopped eating dairy products all of a sudden one day.

My body just felt really full and didn’t want to have them anymore. So I stopped.

I felt very much lighter, and also I didn’t have what I had perceived as hunger before were actually cravings that were very strong.

For the first few days I almost starved myself because I didn’t even recognize the signals of hunger. I was used to having this huge craving, and instead I just had this mild sensation in the body that I needed to put a little in it.

That was great for a few weeks. Now, I don’t think it’s necessarily related, but lately I’m really, really hungry and I want to expand on that. And I want to tell you something connected to that, and that is with regard to money. Lately I’ve been getting more and more into the realm that I like, which is to be just totally in the present regarding money instead of stashing it away for rainy days and all that. Just know that you have whatever you need whenever you need it. And if you didn’t have it, then you didn’t need it.

If somebody says, “Here, put a thousand on this,” and I don’t have a thousand, well, then that wasn’t what you wanted for it anyway because you haven’t. Okay, I love doing that. But what I find is I have a little bit I can’t quite take it, or I haven’t… I have some nervousness on taking it all the way to the limit. What limit? Well, let me just tell you, all the way to the zero thing. And the only resistance I have on doing that is I’ll let it go down. I’ll just spend my last dollar on a toy for my kid or something and I just totally have fun with my money. And I love it. I just love the freedom that I have to just spend it. Anytime I have it, I spend it, and it’s great and more comes in. But the consideration that I have on just totally letting loose, I have a little bit of holding back, is because of this huge hunger. And I hate to even be like one day if I ran out of money and I’m waiting till the next day, and I didn’t have enough of the exact right things that I was craving in my fridge, I’d get all upset about it.

Bashar: Again understand that to some degree there is a similar idea of the fear of changing the reality, but not quite the big deal. Also understand it is not in your terms the money which is necessary. Simply it is the effect of being able to create whatever you wish. Now realize many times you are not needing money to do so.

Asker: That’s already real to me. Very real. Very good. I guess food is the last remaining area.

Bashar: Oh, whoa, don’t take away my food. So, I don’t have much confidence in creating good food. I know I can always have food, but I mean, I always have food in the house, but not what I really want to eat, you know? That’s my last area.

Bashar: Not great confidence. Then allow me to simply say you may enjoy yourself. Yeah. Thank you.

On Buzzing in the Ears and Astral Travel

Asker: Back to what Pam was saying about the silence. Even though there’s a lot of sound, as a matter of fact, the sound like I have my television going and my cats playing or the neighbors have the music up loud and I’ll be reading or something. The silence… there’s still… I did not mean that type of noise. No, no, I understand that. But what I’m trying to say is that underneath all that there’s this other silence, and I’ve been noticing that, but I’ve been getting this buzzing in my ear.

Bashar: Very good. It’s been for days now I’ve had that buzz that just all of a sudden… How have your dreams been?

Asker: Weird. Off and on. Just about people I don’t know. Things I’ve never done.

Bashar: Very, very good. It is. Now understand that you may choose to think that it is not. That will be all right too. But simply allow me to say that what you are experiencing is a higher degree of what you could call astral travel. And as such, you are finding that you’re unable to translate the reality of the experience in any way, shape or form physically that you would call normal, because you always create those symbols by which your conscious outer aware ego consciousness can remember the experience, but it does not have the symbols to relate to a direct astral experience. You follow me? All right. Understand also that the buzzing in your terms is simply the changing of your vibratory level. You will find if you wish to, even within the literature of individuals who are a little bit more familiar with that ability, they will describe that buzzing quite often.

Asker: Would that also apply to itchy, red eyes and thin spots?

Bashar: Slightly different, but can… I will say at that point congeal into a couple of different ideas because I get that a lot when I go through any sort of period of awakening. My eyes are very irritated and I seem to be blurry.

Bashar: Understand that again there will be different physical manifestations which will represent the idea of the shifting of your own ability to sense different realities, and it will manifest from time to time in different physical ways that will also be relatively in your terms normal.

On Perceiving Bashar’s Form

Asker: I’ve been talking to you otherwise because I think of you constantly, and I know what you look like because I can draw you and paint you if I want. I was wondering, do you get that? I’ve actually been on your planet.

Bashar: Now, understand that a portion of every consciousness that you allow yourself to perceive, whether within your imagination reality or dream reality or your physical reality, is always on some level in touch with the idea that you are in touch with it.

Asker: Do you get that from me?

Bashar: To a degree, but understand that we also recognize a certain overall concept of which you are only now allowing yourself to become familiar with a part of. In other words, our view of you in your terms is a little more expanded than your own view of yourself at this point.

Asker: It’s growing.

Bashar: Did not mean that was bad. I understand. Understand therefore that when you in that way make that connection within our reality, we perceive you quite differently than you perceive yourself within our reality.

Time, Sleep, and Creativity

Asker: you said that you only sleep when you feel like it, maybe two or three hours.

I had this concept the other day that the reason why you probably get so much done and creativity is done is because you don’t spend like eight or nine hours in bed. There’s no time.

If you get tired you just go to sleep and you get up and you start doing what you want to do again, and you go on and on. It’s not like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or from month to month or from year to year. It’s that constant create.

Bashar: People will find that they may be a little disoriented at first. They may feel that something is going wrong, forgetting what time it is, what day it is. It will not matter. They will understand.

They will be able to create a flow which will mesh with all the reality that they really wish to experience. That which it does not mesh with, they are changing from.

Asker: Yeah. I forget days if it’s Tuesday or Wednesday or something, or if it’s 5:00 in the afternoon or some time.

Bashar: This will be all right. Because you will come to realize it does not matter to you what day you do something on as long as you are doing it right.

On Signs of Shifting Realities

Asker: Could you give some other examples of signs that you’ve been “gone with the wind,” like you were talking about with these other people: ringing in the ears, blurry eyes, and things? I was just curious. It would sort of be like a signpost that I’ve gone through different realities.

Bashar: Do you understand that your own changes are your own signpost? Yes. I was looking for a little better reflection. A better reflection. What could be better than exactly creating for yourself at any particular moment exactly the best reflection that you can be? There is no need to assume there will be a better one. I was just going to ride the flow, you know, like you told that other girl that the ears meant something. I wanted to know what…

Bashar: Understand that that situation is a product of her own belief structure for her reality, not necessarily for yours.

Asker: What about my pains in the head? How’s that? Do you wish to hang on to them? Actually, they’re not here so much. Thank you.

On Neck and Shoulder Pain

Asker: I’ve been experiencing for some time a great discomfort in my neck and shoulder area. It’s obviously there for a reason and I haven’t spotted it yet. I thought maybe you could help me pinpoint it.

Bashar: Understand that when you allow yourself, as we have been speaking, to receive physical manifestations of different forms and levels of energy, your awareness expands yourself to the idea that you are opening up various centers within your physical form for the reception of that energy. You will find that that portion of what you turn to be the chakra system within your body will open up in connection to the idea of allowing yourself to channel any other idea of higher consciousness, whether it be yourself in that way or whether it be as you understand it a separation of consciousness. You will experience a stiffening, many times quite sharp pain, within the base of the neck between the shoulder blades. It will dissipate.

Asker: Is there anything that I can do to make it go a little faster? Because it does feel very uncomfortable. It makes me feel like I’m millions and millions of miles away, and it’s sometimes difficult for me to be here and do the things I need to do here.

Bashar: You have chosen to pass through this transition at this time.

Close your eyes and view your entire physical form in an energy version.

See yourself as sparkling, shimmering energy. There are also avenues, pathways of energy which you may perceive connecting from your physical form outward in every direction and inward from every direction to you.

As they cross, overlap, interweave, they form the matrix that you perceive to be your immediate physical body.

You can see these nodal points as the crossing and the warping of the weave of the fabric of the vibrational energy that forms what you know yourself to be.

You can see the pulsing, the rate of the vibration. You may simply mentally pluck those cords which you sense to be vibrating out of sync with the rest of your vibration in this way.

The rest of you may simply step up the vibration to match that level. In so doing, you will emerge into a different understanding, a different level of vibration which is in accord with the vibration you are now receiving.

And in that way, it will all seem normal to you.

Be surrounded also by a field of very blue, very energetic energy. It is very spiritual, very calming in nature.

Every single one of your fibers of energy is sheathed with this blue energy that represents the idea of the focus, the idea of projecting your focus of consciousness into this physical dimensionality, into the new physical dimensionality that you are creating for yourself, with a buffer, a protection, a sheath, a lubrication so that all these strings of energy that form what you know yourself to be may vibrate in harmony with one another without creating friction between one another, being sheathed, cushioned by this blue energy between each and every fiber.

Then allow yourself simply to feel the overall coolness of this idea, the overall energy of this idea, the cool fire as you express that idea: very high in energy, but at the same time very peaceful in its own way.

Then you may simply allow yourself to know that this method, or any other method within your imagination by which you can allow yourself to perceive that which you really know yourself to be, that which you really feel yourself to be, will be the exact tool that you need at any particular time for the understanding and therefore the increasing of your overall momentum towards any specific reality that you wish to form.

Asker: Yes. Thank you. How much bigger? Very good. A lot bigger, and the potential feels like it’s increased about about 10,000 units more. Thank you.

A First-Timer’s Question

Asker: I’m very interested in expanding my knowledge. Until about 6 months ago, I had never really heard of Scientology, and now I’m getting bits and pieces of it, and it really is interesting. What I’d like to find out is do you feel that I need to start at the basics to expand my horizons and to work up gradually, or can I jump in from where I am now, speaking to somebody that most people out there would not really..

Bashar: The effect of your exploration within your dream reality has produced within you the idea within your imagination that you can right here and right now see yourself jumping in wherever you wish to.

You are quite comfortable with that idea, and really I will say that question was quite redundant in that way.

Therefore, understand in that way that the only idea really, and all the variations of all the questions of all the discussions, will always be variations of only one idea: that you will allow yourself to realize in terms of your expansion of your own awareness of yourself within, as you say, this gathering at this time.

And that will simply be that your own imagination is real. Your dream reality is real. Your physical reality is real. They are all different aspects of the same reality.

And in that way, simply understand that you are creating exactly the appropriate reality from every point of view that you know yourself to exist, in exactly the way that you need to create it for your own unfoldment, for the purpose that you have created yourself to be here in your physical reality at this time.

And in understanding yourself from that view, you may simply understand that your timing in understanding yourself is perfect.

On Manifesting a Goal Quickly

Asker: I want to be in a certain place at a certain time, professionally. What you’re saying is that if I perceive myself to be there, I will be there immediately?

Bashar: You will be there in the least amount of time possible with regard to the effects that you actually believe you are creating.

Many times an individual will assume that they can be in that situation within, for example, 3 months, not realizing that if they simply allow themselves to understand themselves as that situation already, they may have arrived there within 3 days, thinking originally that the 3 months was a short period of time.

What will unfold as you have chosen to exist within physical reality will be the best situation for all concerned in terms of all the integration of the personality of your own consciousness and your interaction with all of the integration of consciousness within the mass consciousness for your own unfoldment of the reality which expresses the best possible universe of yourself, which will become the ideal understanding for the mass consciousness to integrate within itself in its understanding of itself as one identity.

But also understand that if you simply allow yourself to be that idea, to vibrate, to be equal to that idea, to know that you are the idea, you are the event, then you will always allow that idea to manifest itself with all the ingredients that it automatically comes with, and therefore you will not be also imposing limitations upon it, closing doors to which it may have come by simply assuming that it must occur only in this one way. You follow me?

Asker: I assumed that it must occur in just one way. Can it occur in different ways?

Bashar: Yes. And that if it only occurs in one way, it’s because I’m allowing it to occur only in one way.

if you allow any situation to occur, it will always occur in the best possible way. But if you assume that it must occur in a specific understanding of one way, you will be focusing your energy only upon that path and you may be closing doors to which it may have come more easily.

Your imagination can be the key.

you may attempt to achieve the idea by saying, “All right, well within such and such a time I need so much money so that I can do this and that,”

then you will concentrate on the idea of acquiring this much money in such and such a time, and you will perhaps miss the opportunity of a person who walked right by you who would have offered you the entire idea for free.

Simply understand that you are All-That-Is. What you need to do simply is vibrate to the level of excitement that you are willing to vibrate to. Understand that your excitement in that way represents exactly your willingness to be in tune with any particular idea. And if you are excited about an idea, you are in tune with it.

It can manifest very simply if you simply allow it to manifest.

Every idea in your terms vies for equal reality. That is why you don’t have to make anything happen.

You have but to allow it to occur automatically by simply focusing upon the effect that it will create as if it exists.

Bashar: You will be attracting situations like a magnet. No matter what situation it is, no matter what, whatever you vibrate at, including the idea of fear, will attract the reality appropriate to manifest the support for that fear or that belief.

Money and Doing What Excites You

Asker: I have a lot of ideas on professional goals and different jobs.

But I think that they all boil down to the fact that no matter what professional job it was, if I didn’t get paid for it, I wouldn’t want to do it. So the underlying idea is finances. But I have a lot of ideas on how to make those finances.

Bashar: if your idea that excites you really is not so much the making of the finance but the doing of the idea, you can simply allow yourself to know that you will be abundant if you consider the idea that you wish to do a viable idea.

In other words, if you decide that you would like to do this, but everyone says that is not a real job, therefore it will not be feasible, not viable, not valid. Therefore, I must have the finances to support this idea first.

Not really. Understand that those individuals who simply vibrate within the excitement of understanding that that idea is them, they are that event, will attract to themselves all the necessary manifestations for the support of that idea exactly as they understand that idea.

Many ideas that you now consider to be valid were at one time not considered so. And now you accept them and take them for granted as normal, everyday things for people to do. Now realize that every idea begins in that way somewhere. Therefore, understand if an idea excites you, begin it as a viable reality.

If it does not already physically exist, be the first one. Be bold. Because if it excites you, if it no longer excites you, do something else. That’s right. You’ll handle anything that excites you. You will have difficulty doing what does not excite you because then you will be creating the idea of separation between yourself and that idea, and it will take quite a great deal of effort to bring the two together because you will be pushing away very hard. That’s right.

Asker: But if something’s not exciting you, isn’t it because you’re making it not excite you? You could actually say, “Hey, what I’m doing now, even though yesterday it wasn’t exciting, today I’m going to make it exciting.”

Bashar: You can do that as well. But understand that once you allow yourself to become excited in that way, to know that you are simply excited, your level of vibration will then automatically bring you all the necessary ingredients. Whether it remains the same job or many different jobs to maintain that excitement, you will always vibrate exactly at the level of excitement that you need to, and your physical reality will manifest.

Therefore, if you simply allow yourself to become excited, you may find that you will stay at the same job for years continuing to be excited. Or you may find that you will be changing your job in the very next day because it will simply automatically appear within your reality and you will recognize the opportunity and take it.

Change is the only constant. Therefore, understand that if you’re excited about something, if you allow yourself to become excited, every idea that will support that excitement will manifest in your reality.

If it only takes one idea, then that will be the only one. If it takes a million ideas, you will get them all.

Not Getting Excited

Asker: What if you don’t ever get excited about anything?

Bashar: excitement [dharma] is simply the physical translation of the vibration that you know to be yourself. if you already know that that idea is yourself, you in many cases will supersede emotionality by simply knowing.

Excitement is one way to let you know that you are knowing. If you already know, there is no need to even create the idea of the emotionality. You already take it for granted.

There is knowing, there is emotionality, then there is thought.

Bashar as Daryl’s Future Self

Asker: You are Daryl’s future self.

We have already looked at the idea that you really aren’t necessarily 300 years from now. You coexist simultaneously with us. I can’t quite… I don’t know what it is about that. I haven’t been able to align that in my universe.

Bashar: With the creation of the idea that you express as time, you will then, when you have an idea that you consider to be an advanced idea from what you are now experiencing, place that idea along the time frame in what you turn to be the future.

Therefore, in that way, as long as you consider ourselves in that way to be advanced of you rather than simply different, you will place us in that way within the future. And in that sense, that is where we exist.

But since we choose to understand that you are equal to us, we can be with you simultaneously, even though you may not allow yourself to be with us at the same time in that way.

Asker: Yes, I understand that. It’s the thing of Daryl momentarily when you were talking just now, it’s like this whole thing flashed through for me was that you are Daryl.

Bashar: In a sense, but understand that if you wish you may look at it in this way reincarnationally. Daryl dies, is born upon my planet as myself in the future. I, understanding that I can move through time, choose to talk back to my past self. Does that clear the idea for you to some degree?

Asker: Yeah, I can grasp that idea. How then can we find our future selves and, instead of a person like yourself coming back to talk to us, how can we advance?

Bashar: You don’t necessarily need in this way to communicate with your future self.

You can simply already understand that you are already your future self because there really is no time.

Therefore, every idea that you create of yourself exists right now. If you allow yourself to vibrate to the vibration of the idea, you will then bathe your future self in the same reality. You will be allowing there to be a blending of consciousness between your present self and your future self, so that you will create the effect of being your future self in your here and now present idea. That is, you will have access to all the information that you feel your future self has access to.

On Programming Before Birth

Asker: You said you will follow the programming that was laid down prior to birth.

Bashar: Simply that you have created your own understanding of your purpose in being within this life.

And as such, that is why we say your timing is always perfect. Even though consciously it may seem to falter, you will always be following your own program, always putting yourself right back on track in that way by showing yourself all those portions of yourself that you may not be willing to look at, by creating situations which force you to look at them so that you will continue with your program.

Asker: So we programmed ourselves. In that sense, you know what you wish to accomplish within your understanding of yourself within this physical life.

Therefore that is why we say when you create what you perceive to be a negative situation, it is simply there to remind you that you need to view a certain idea of yourself in order to complete the idea you have started in being physical. But when you choose to judge that you have created a negative situation, you step outside your programming that way by becoming stuck in a loop.

But realize again that always you are eternal. You are indestructible in that way, and you will always know yourself ultimately.

Asker: What is “stuck in a loop”?

Bashar: It’s the idea of judgment. Change is the nature of things, you don’t have to force anything to change, but you also don’t have to force something to stay the same.

By your judgment, you become stuck in a loop which recreates the same problem over and over again, because a problem is only a situation you are not allowing to change shape. That could be the same beingness, the same idea of yourself over and over until you.

Completing One’s Purpose

Asker: Bashar, this purpose that an individual has when they come here, there’s something that they want to create or experience or whatever, and they program themselves with limitations in order to experience that. When they’ve experienced that, then pretty much they’re done, right?

Bashar: Good. And many individuals too in many cases do not have physical lives again, right? And it could take one lifetime and it could take an individual 20.

Bashar: Yes. And many, many consciousnesses have never been physical as you know it at all.

On Raising Children

Asker: I have two kids now and I feel I’m going to have some more. I want to know what I can do for the ones now to enhance their lives, and is there anything I can do to prepare for the ones that are coming?

Bashar: You have chosen them and they have chosen you. in choosing you they already knew what they were doing. Therefore, just be who you are.

On the Afterlife and Beliefs

Asker: Do certain instances that occur between lives always occur on one level, but if you don’t create it for yourself then it doesn’t necessarily have to exist?

Like certain people say that some quite unfortunate occurrences occur after you die that are not in most people’s concept pleasant, that causes you to get somewhat disoriented and messed up. That would only exist if you had integrated in this lifestyle?

Bashar: At the moment of your physical death, you will project your belief structure into that reality.

But that reality being a thought form, and yourself now being a thought form, that reality will seem very real to you. But when you change your thought form in that way, your perception of yourself, your reality will automatically instantaneously shift, and you will begin to get the idea that your beliefs are directly creating that reality. And then you will understand the nature of the new reality in which you reside.

On Death and Communication

Asker: When individuals on your planet die, so to speak, they basically just decide to let go of the physical body and move on. In a sense, it is simply a shifting of perspective, right?

Many individuals in that way, when you perform what you call astral projection, do much of the same idea.

Simply they do not reenter the body. So they take the body somewhere and it’s known by others that the being or the energy won’t come back to the body until the body’s disposed of or whatever. And there’s rejoicing or excitement probably, but there’s simply knowing.

Bashar: For us it is a very normal thing, not really much cause for recognition one way or another. Make us understand that we are quite in communication with those individuals previous to birth and after their death. They are simply in another level of existence.

On the Creation of a New Consciousness

Asker: Two beings, like a male and female on your planet, don’t necessarily come together and equal their vibrations and create another consciousness.

Are you describing the idea of birth? Yes. Now realize that we do that as you do that in that way.

We are creating the idea of joining with the idea of another consciousness. But for us, there is also the idea of the physical manifestation that you know of as physical birth. Does the consciousness exist prior to the idea the two create, or do they create the idea?

Bashar: In your understanding, it can be viewed as a separate consciousness which exists prior to the birth.

But can it be created by two individuals of consciousness? Now realize that that is what you are doing anyway in creating all the other individuals that you perceive. Wait a minute. You follow me?

It’s the differentiation that you wish to make. It is no difference at all. Again depends upon how you view it.

For the civilization round about Sirius, if they were to view the idea of that birth, they would view it in the way you are describing it. They would perceive all portions of what you call that family to be aspects of a single consciousness. And that’s how it’s known prior to the birth. In our perception, we would be in telepathic communication with that consciousness, and we know exactly why they are there in that way and what purposes they wish to fulfill for themselves.

Asker: So they sort of come and knock on a door and the three of you basically get together and do this thing.

Bashar: If you wish to look at it that way. Yes. Which uniforms to try? That seems appropriate. But realize that can be more than one child. One child at a time. Do you normally just have one? No. How many do you usually have? I will say usually between 3 to 5 at one time.

Asker: At one time? No. I thought just at one time.

Bashar: We are not balloons.

On Feeling a Connection to Bashar

Asker: I realized how you feel someone else’s energy when they come into your space, and that creates a certain excitement as you perceive them as a different consciousness.

I realized that I never had that excitement with you. It was just almost bland, just automatic, take it for granted. And I thought it had a feeling of “I am you.” And then the idea came that I am, and by “you” I use that very loosely, I am your future self not as a human, but I’m also being other things.

I’m excited about the civilization of Sirius. Some people felt restricted by astrology. My understanding of astrology is that you have a certain purpose of being in this certain physical civilization and so forth, and you pick your time of birth to match exactly to make all the energies, the patterns of the vibrations of the unfoldment of the mass consciousness, line up just perfectly for you. And so with that idea in mind, I got out my own birth chart, about 50 pages, and I started reading it, minusing out all the judgment.

It was a very judgmental one that had been done for me: “Well, this will be a problem for you and you better watch out for that.” I took all those out and it was like I realized that it was absolutely and completely perfect, exactly right for what I’m going to do and what I’m doing. And anyway, that was just a great idea. It wasn’t restricting at all. It just was perfect.
