Sexuality

Bashar: We are still physical beings.

We are much slightly different but similar human form in shape and in this way like yourselves there will still be a similar mechanism for what you term to be reproduction involved in our society and many societies many civilizations within the universe.

REPRODUCTION AND CHILDBIRTH

Questioner: Yes. In keeping with this topic, I’d like to know some information on the procreation process for your species. Basically obviously you have some kind of intercourse that you just told us and a cell is there and then a physical being is there and the physical process is again as you would say practically identical to your own with the exception for the most part of what you term to be the gestation period. How long was that?

Bashar: Seven months.

Questioner: At what point does the consciousness enter the body?

Bashar: The same as your own just prior to birth. However, the agreement between the parents and the conscious beings coming into the body is made prior to the physicality.

Questioner: What would be an average weight of a child born in your terminology?

Bashar: Approximately five to six pounds.

Questioner: So if you say you’re on your spacecraft and you have sex on your spacecraft as the child is conceived, do they go back to the planet to have the child? Does it happen instantaneously?

Bashar: It can occur upon the craft. There are facilities for such. Recognize in this way that many individuals are on craft for quite long periods of time may not in this way return to what you term to be home planet for many of your years.

Questioner: So they could have the child would be conceived, the child would be in gestation and would actually come out physically from the other being on the spacecraft. Has that happened many times?

Bashar: Yes.

Questioner: Do you have doctors to facilitate that or is basically the process pretty easy at this point?

Bashar: It is, as you say, relatively smooth. In this way, almost what you term to be anyone can assist.

Questioner: Is the father usually present for the birth?

Bashar: More often than not.

Questioner: Well, is it a ritual like ours is?

Bashar: Not really, except in the constant mental communication with the consciousness during the process.

Questioner: So you don’t give out the guards then, right? Do you breastfeed the babies?

Bashar: Yes.

Questioner: Do you use bottles for that?

Bashar: Oh.

Questioner: When the child is born, do they have immediate vocabulary skills or is there a process like in ours that they can make all the sounds that are in your vocabulary?

Bashar: Now understand in this way that with our civilization that which you call language is even for myself a remnant idea.

Questioner: Great. Thank you for that. They do not communicate vocally at all, telepathically.

Bashar: Yes.

Questioner: So then you don’t even they’re already developed as soon as they’re born and obviously the consciousness is there and you’re aware of that and therefore it can express itself in a certain methodology according to the newness of the physical body. In a sense you would perceive it to be in like manner as your own children, thus manipulate the language in a more simplistic fashion. You will find that the ability for the communication once in the physical form will be somewhat limited. They will require some time to expand that concept, but it will usually not take in your terms any longer than three of your physical years.

Questioner: Do they have to develop motor skills or do they already have some?

Bashar: Yes. But can they walk immediately?

Questioner: No, they have to crawl or they just—

Bashar: Yes.

Questioner: How many years does it take them to be mature?

Bashar: What is your definition?

Questioner: Like 20 years from birth to become an adult.

Bashar: Now understand that your own cycle by which you call adolescence, your word puberty, in this way in your own cycle will be approximately 12-13 years, not 20. In ours you’ll find in this way somewhat similar, the idea again approximately 11 years of age, that which you call the beginning of adolescence. Though there will be again from three years onward the ability to communicate for the most part as any being in our civilization would be able to mentally.

Questioner: Are the telepathic skills not fully developed from birth to 3 years old or are they fully capable in that respect to some degree?

Bashar: Although again the communications will be for the most part not diversified. Do you understand that term?

Questioner: I understand the term but I don’t know how you’re applying it.

Bashar: In this way understand that the being newly born will still be for the most part used to non-physical existence. And in this way, the majority of the telepathic communication will come in whole concepts without direct reference still to some degree for the society into which the being has been born. It will be in somewhat the same manner as your infants making sounds which have no basis in your particular language. Yet you understand that there is communication. You understand the intent for the most part of the sounds. With this communication of the savatic nature, the concepts are translatable to physicality because they are closer to the non-physical.

Questioner: Sort of they are still homogeneous in a sense, not diversified into the specific reality into which they have been born. Sort of analogous to the dream state not being fully translatable into physicality.

Bashar: Yes. Very good. It will be abstract to a great degree. Until it receives the codification of the entire mass consciousness and assimilates its own consciousness therein, thus forming and using the archetypes present in our own consciousness to relate to our specific civilization.

Questioner: Is that why our babies born here also communicate not with specific words? It’s not that their speech skills aren’t developed up to that period of time you call three of your years in terms of any civilization which reproduces in similar manner to you. In this way you will find that it will be quite similar from civilization to civilization. For the infant from 1 to 3 years they will all almost be all the same.

Questioner: What my question was was that on this planet we’ve interpreted the child’s inability to speak as just lack of skill, lack of development. Whereas I’m seeing here that it’s not so much that as the fact that they are thinking in undiversified terms and if they were immediately talking—

Bashar: The skill and development you are speaking of are the skills and development with regard to the specific physical reality they have projected themselves into. It is in that way a matter of skill and development but not in the intrinsic sense of not being able to conceive of concepts at all. They simply find not yet the translation mechanism to be fully functional.

Questioner: Well, I’m thinking if they were instantaneously able to communicate in a diversified way, as you said, their ability to develop their speech skills would be much faster, I would think.

Bashar: Do you mean in your civilization? In a sense.

CONSCIOUSNESS AND CHANNELING PROCESS

Questioner: When you came on you spoke to us about sex and we told Daryl about the channel before that all of that which is impregnated into the physical channels mentality we can draw from. Do you follow? Yeah, I know you so you’re in contact with D’s personality all the time. There is always an open link. So there’s a double—anything that the physical channel will know we can know directly.

Questioner: And how come Dao doesn’t remember anything that happens when you are there?

Bashar: In this way recognize that the physical channel’s consciousness is locked into its own experience. It knows what it experiences. It does not experience what you experience. It is having a different experience than you are. Recognize in this way if you wish to use an analogy, the consciousness of the physical medium is standing immersed in the path of the communication existing within the energy of our mentality as we are blended with his mentality. In this way for the physical channel it is an I’ll say more direct experiential without thought idea.

Questioner: So you guys feelings, emotionality, there will be pictures many of which will when recalled be abstract but the feeling and the emotionality will always be recalled. Simply there is no way without the thought process being involved to make sense out of how many times those feelings and imagery will apply to what you recall as a specific conversation. So there’s no brain work only in an automatic sense as we are through our energy activating the motor nerves, the electrical conduits to allow then to choose what you term to be concepts in your vocabulary that match the concepts that the physical body is receiving. It is acting as a translation device.

BELIEF, EMOTION, AND THOUGHT

Questioner: But there is no feelings unless we have thought. The thought form comes.

Bashar: No, no, no. One more time. First is existence above and beyond all. Then knowing. Then belief. Then emotion or feelings. Then thought last.

Questioner: We cannot affect the emotion too at all.

Bashar: You can but understand that many times your emotionality will come first even though it may remain hidden within your subconsciousness. Many times the thoughts you will think will be a product of how you feel about what you believe. But many times you can use thought to bring forth that emotional energy which already exists. This is what—but your thoughts are the product of your emotionality which are the product of your beliefs. But with the thought you can change your belief.

You can in this way change your belief through your knowingness. Your thoughts give you the opportunity to see what your beliefs are. You can in this way recognize that when your beliefs change, your thoughts will change. You can in a sense change your beliefs with thoughts. But recognize that that is only an illusion. You are creating the idea of a cause and effect when in reality it is all one event. Your beliefs, your emotions, and your thoughts all change together simultaneously. Even though you may think that a thought actually affects a belief, you already have the belief that your thoughts can do so. And so they do. The belief that your thoughts can change your beliefs is a belief before it is a thought.

Questioner: You have taught me to be in the feeling, to tell myself what feeling I wanted to choose.

Bashar: Understand again all we have suggested to any of you are all as we always say simply different ways of allowing yourself to be in touch with your own reality. It is not that you have to do it that way. It is simply a suggestion based on your own particular methodology. It may be in that way easier for you, but that does not mean it is the only way and does not mean it is an accurate description of exactly how it is being done. It is all tools, all symbols. It is all an act, all an illusion. It is all an idea.

You can simply allow yourself to know that you can deal directly with your beliefs. Recognize many individuals upon your planet have expressed that they are worried that many times they find themselves reaching a state of mind where they do not feel the emotionality and yet they are very certain of what they are doing and they think “Oh something must be wrong with me. I do not feel the emotionality yet I know what I am doing.” It is precisely because knowing and belief precedes emotionality that when you come from a place of knowing, you do not always have to create the symbolic manifestation of emotionality to know what you are doing. Emotions can be used to trigger your awareness, but that does not mean they have to come first.

We are emotional beings. You are also beings of thought and beings of belief and beings of knowing and you are beings of existence. You are not any one thing. That is how you choose to look at it. That is why you feel that way. You can come from any one of those viewpoints. They are all valid. If emotionality is more valid for you than the idea of thought or belief, then that is how you will discover your emotional connections to your thoughts and your beliefs and how you will be able to activate those ideas for yourself through your emotionality. But you can come and approach yourself through and from any facet of the crystal that you are.
