The Sassani Planet

Our planet does not really have widespread seasonal changes. Our axis tilt is not as strong as your own.

Our overall environment, in your terminology, is relatively similar from moment to moment, not usually ranging beyond what you would call an approximate span of about 13 to 15 of your degrees, one way or another.

The idea, however, on your world, of your season, your times of change, your autumn represents — as many of you already instinctively understand — a gathering together, a going within, a nurturing energy of introspection. The idea of harboring new understandings, new discoveries of yourself within yourself, surrounding the inner hearth of your being with all the ideas that you have discovered yourself to be during the active months of your year. And now coming into an assessment, a type of early hibernation — which in no way, shape, or form implies that you become inactive, but simply that your mentality, your consciousness, collectively and sometimes even individually, can begin to recognize that this particular timing in your world represents the idea of the opening and the exploration of many of the things you have gathered, many of the packages you have picked up along the way to this point — to review, and allow yourself to perceive what within those experiences, within those packages, represents the things that you prefer to carry through into your new year, and those things that you prefer to allow to assimilate within an old idea and, in that sense, to remain within the concept of the past.

It is now timing in your society, in general, for the opening of many spirit doors within you, many levels of consciousness — now not so much directly connected with physiological reality, but now the exploration of many states of dream reality, dream awareness, to begin to be able to allow more blending between the non-physical and the physical to occur. So that upon your birthing into a new year, you are stepping through that gate as a completely whole description of yourself — both physical and non-physical aspects of your consciousness in tandem, connected side by side, stepping through into that event of a new year with all the unfoldment of new growth, new perspectives, new discovery.

But now your autumn time, as you have all created mythologically, is recognized as the time of communion with spirit — in that sense, the spirit of yourself within yourself, and all aspects, in whatever way your consciousness, the spirit you are, can present itself to you, both positive and negative mirrors, for you to gaze into, to discover those things you desire within yourself to discover, those things you can integrate into the being you prefer to be.

On Atlantis and Halloween

Now, in your civilization has been discussed many times a time past that you call the civilization of Atlantis. And we have reminded you, from time to time, those that are familiar with this, that what you call the destruction of the civilization on your world of Atlantis actually does have a commemoration time in your reality — though many of you no longer realize what these commemoration times represent.

The commemoration time is the three-day span you call All Hollows Eve, and, in some of your religious vernacular, the All Saints and All Souls Day of your November first — two days: All Hollows Eve, and November 1st, November 2nd of your timing represents symbolically the night before, the day of, and the day after the destruction, the sinking of Atlantis.

That is why the idea of All Hollow’s Eve represents many aspects of facing that which you fear most within you — the opening of the dimensions between the physical and the non-physical, the seeing of the spirit realm, the expansion of the awareness of being in touch with all levels of reality, and the creation of the reality you most strongly define with your strongest beliefs and/or fears. That is generally what it commemorates in that sense.

But in this way now — not in destructive ways, not in destructive terms — now it can represent the opening of a doorway to allow you to assimilate, to gather in all the understandings, all the definitions you have created yourself to be, and to become that introspective, meditative self that allows you to review and to choose the ideas that you prefer to be — the ideas and the realities you prefer to act upon, the ideas, realities, and perspectives you prefer to manifest in your lives as the physical experiences you have in a day-to-day nomenclature.

Your autumn — the falling of many of your leaves — pages in your books of life that you have written. The allowance of the strengthening, the feeling of the strength within you that burns bright in the hearth that you are — the hearth of spirit, the hearth of consciousness, the home each and every one of you have created yourselves to be, both on an individual basis and as a world, as a world home.

On the Relationship Between Our Worlds

Many new accelerations are beginning to take place within your society. Many new recognitions of consciousness. Now, our ability to have this conversation with you at all, in this way, indicates that much has changed on your planet within the last century of your accounting.

Do remember, however, in all of these interactions, that we are simply here as a mirror to reflect the brightness of the flame you are. Do not believe anything that I share with you just because I share it. That is not what any of this is about. It is about you kindling and rekindling and fanning the flame of your own integrity, your own inspiration, your own ecstasy and imagination, your own action — the flames of your own conviction to live the lives you prefer to live, because you can. Because we know you can.

For, as we have said more often than not, no matter what any of you choose to think of yourselves, we believe in you utterly. And we know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, what you are capable of creating if you truly desire it and act upon that conviction, act upon that desire. Nothing is beyond you. Nothing.

And this is not talk. We are not handing you philosophies. We are not handing you sugarcoated dreams. We are talking mechanics of creation, physics of reality of the physical world in which you live, because we know you have always created the reality you experience, because you are facets of the multi-dimensional creator. It is what you are. You must create. You can’t help yourself. But whether you choose to create negative or positive is utterly up to you. But you will always create — you might as well create what you prefer.

And so, in our interactions with you, we discuss the methodologies of how you have chosen to create, how you can use your own self-empowered reflection of the infinite to create the reality you desire. You are all awakening now. Paradoxically enough, in this your month of hibernation is when you go within and awaken in the strongest sense of the word.

We thank you for allowing us to experience with joy the awakening that you have created upon your planet, which allows us to interact with you now. We thank you for functioning as ambassadors of your world — that is what you are right now. We thank you for allowing us to function as ambassadors of our respective collective worlds that we refer to as the Association.

These interactions, bit by bit and day by day, make it more conducive for us — our worlds, your world — to be able, in very short order, to interact face to face, when you know you are equal to any other consciousness in creation. That will then be the timing, the day, the season.

Q&A

The Earthquake

Asker
I would to ask about the timeliness of today’s moderate earthquake.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar

Well, many of you love living on the edge. That’s why you are where you are, because there is a great deal of energy, and you are learning to use it, not fear it.

You are now learning to direct it so that you can begin to realize that your reality utterly is the product of your beliefs, of your directions of yourself, attractions of yourself to particular places that represent different degrees of energy.

And in attracting yourself to such a highly energetic area upon your planet, you give yourself the creative opportunity to know that you can flow that energy through you, that you can begin to identify with the power that actually is within you.

For no magnitude of any quake that has ever occurred on your planet matches even infinitesimally the amount of power you have to create your reality.

So you are learning to direct your energy by feeling it, to some degree externally, in ways that show you how much power you have, so that you can get, as comfortably as you wish, at whatever rate is comfortable for you, more and more used to the idea of living with that much power, and of understanding what that much power is capable of doing, and in choosing to flow that power in a positive way rather than a negative way — allowing that power to destructurize, but not destroy.

Thank you for all being so bold. It is simply a little bit of the part of the process of allowing yourselves to be shaken awake, to stir things up a little bit so it does not become quite so sedentary, or sedimentary.

Binge Eating and Compulsive Addiction

Asker
I’d like to say I’m glad to meet you — I’m from New York, this is my first channeling… The specific subject I wanted to ask you to talk about is very narrowly binge eating, really more broadly compulsive addictions and that sort of thing, and trying to understand why I have it and what will happen.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Do you believe that you might run out of things in life, that there might not be quite enough for everyone?
Asker
No. Maybe, maybe not.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar

Compulsive addiction is based on the belief that the power is not within you, but is in the things around you. So in order to feel more powerful you have to have more of what is around you, because you feel empty, devoid of that power, of that foundation, of that stability.

An attempt exteriorly to replace what you have been taught to believe interiorly you don’t possess. But if you start allowing yourself to recognize that the placement of the power in the symbol outside is, in a sense, the removal of your own power from you — that you are still using your own power to do that — and you take that power back and cease to believe in all the belief systems that deny you your power as an aspect of the infinite, when you then bring your self-empowerment back to you and start taking responsibility for all the creations in your life, that does not mean blame; that means freedom of choice.

By the way, when you take responsibility for all the creations in your life, you will then begin to feel that energy within you. You will start to feel full of that energy, and in feeling fulfilled, you will not necessarily then assume that you have some sort of a void that is constantly empty, that you are constantly attempting to fill endlessly, endlessly, endlessly.

Sometimes when it connects itself to an immediate rejection — what you call then a purging of the idea — will simply represent your overall consciousness’s awareness that the exterior is not what has the power. It is you. You bring it back to you by allowing you to understand you must always rely on yourself, not on the exterior ideas. But relying on yourself is not a matter of effort, is not a matter of stamina. This is one of the great misconceptions, if I may call it that, in your society — the idea that being able to maintain a view of yourself that you desire to maintain somehow requires stamina. It doesn’t. It doesn’t. All it requires is a definition — a clear definition of what it is you really believe yourself to be, or what you really believe you desire to be — and then a decision to be that person, to act like that person that you desire to be. That’s all it takes. Your decisions stick.

Addiction is simply the lack of belief that you have that power, and therefore any power it is assumed must be in your life, from that viewpoint, must come from exterior ideas to fulfill the emptiness that you have been left with because of how your society has taught you to think of yourself as not being in control.

Asker
But you’re really speaking about creating your own reality, and everyone does.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
We are answering your question on a very foundational, fundamental level, so that all individuals may apply their particular perspective to what you have shared to be your specific situation. But it applies nonetheless. The idea of any type of what you may call an overindulgence in anything exterior is usually based on the assumption that you don’t have what you need to begin with, and that you have to binge because you do not believe there will be enough.
Asker
But that’s on an intellectual level.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar

When you say that’s on an intellectual level, you are making a distinction that does not inherently exist. If you understand it, you can learn to assume that you actually do understand it on all levels, rather than just assuming that you only understand it on one. Just because you don’t necessarily feel it in a certain way doesn’t mean you don’t have the understanding you need.

The idea that you can understand something just intellectually or just emotionally is one of the definitions your society has taught you to buy into, to make that segregation, that separation, that allows you now to have the experience you’re having right now with this information. You understand it on far more levels than you think.

However, the first step in transforming it is to first of all acknowledge the reason for why you would be doing it to begin with. Once you own that you are choosing to do it out of your freedom of choice, you place it squarely under your control. It is not something that’s happening to you. It’s happening through you, because nothing does happen to you. Nothing comes from the outside. Nothing is an uncontrollable addiction. Nothing is really a habit once you know you have it. If you know you have a habit, you don’t have it anymore, by definition, because a habit is something you do that you don’t know you’re doing. If you know you have it, you have to be outside of it, quote unquote, in order to see that you had it to begin with. So once you are aware of the fact of what you’re doing, that is really no longer you.

And it is only an assumption, a belief, a definition that for some reason it is difficult to stop doing it that you keep doing it. It isn’t anything inherent in the circumstance itself, from that point forward, that makes it difficult to stop. It is only your assumption, the definition you have been fed in your reality, that makes it seem difficult to stop, because your definition of that idea is that it is difficult to stop, and it is only the definition that gives it that power. Nothing inherent within the circumstance itself.

Asker
I’m still groping a little bit for technique.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar

You are missing the point. We can give you 1 million techniques.

Your imagination can supply you with whatever technique will work best for you. That’s what your imagination is for. That’s how it works best. So you are quite capable of creating whatever technique you desire, and even if we gave you a technique, your imagination would alter it to fit you anyway.

However, you are also under the assumption that you need a technique to make a change. The idea we have just outlined — if you are willing to understand the concept we are discussing — is, in and of itself, all the technique that really is fundamentally necessary. In other words, the realization of what your circumstance is, is in and of itself the transition of that circumstance. As we have said in simpler terms: if you’re aware of the habit, you don’t really have it anymore. All you have to do is understand you don’t have it, and stop acting or pretending like you do.

Now we do not mean pretending in the sense that we are calling out that you are doing something false. That is not what we mean. But the idea is that if you know you have a habit, you don’t have it anymore. All you have to do is see the you you would prefer to be. Do you see the you you would prefer to be? Do you have a picture of what that you would be like?

Asker
I can’t create that in my mind.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Yes. Go right ahead. Create it. Now, have you got it?
Asker
Yes.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
All right. Now, however it looks, do you really believe that what you have in your visualization, in your imagination, is representative sufficiently of the you you really prefer to be? Yes or no?
Asker
Yes.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
All right. Does it excite you when you then consider that that you, in your imagination, could be you?
Asker
Yes.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Can you feel what it would be like to be that you?
Asker
Yes.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Use all your senses. Get into it. Put it on. Wear it. Be that you in your imagination. Feel what it would be like to be that you. How does it feel? Describe it to me. What would it be like to be that you?
Asker
It feels very adult.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Very adult. All right. What else? Get excited about it and describe it to me, representative of the level of excitement you are about it. Use all your senses. How does it feel? How does your body feel? What things attract you? What things do you notice? What kind of things do you hear, smell, taste, see, feel? What is this body like? What is that new you like?
Asker
Well, well, well… There’s an absence of the battle.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
All right, fair enough. However, I did not ask you what it is not. I asked you what it is.
Asker
It feels free.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Free in what way? What does that mean? Does it mean it feels like that body could get up and just run as far and fast as it really wanted to, and it would feel absolute ecstasy in doing so?
Asker
Yes.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
All right, are you sure? Now, I don’t want to push you into this. Is it a body that laughs easily, that experiences great joy and depth of breath? Is it an expansive reality?
Asker
Yes. Yes.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
All right, yes. Can you feel it?
Asker
Yes.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Then you are it right now. Believe it or not, you are it right now. Now, in the very next moment, you can decide. You can choose. You can define.
Asker
Oh, that’s not me yet. Couldn’t be me yet. Everyone knows it will take some time before I could ever be that.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Why? This is an illustration of what we were saying. If you know what you prefer, if you can really feel it and use your imagination to see it, you are it right now. Now, does that seem to indicate to you a little stronger understanding than just what you formally call the intellectual?
Asker
Yes, I do understand.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar

All right, then. It is up to you. However you define yourself at any given moment is what you will be. Plain and simple. If you have any situation or circumstance in your life and you are not sure, as the you you are now, how to handle it — this is what your imagination is for. Create the you you prefer to be. Invest it with life. Use all your senses. Get into it, as you say. Take the situation, hand it to the you you prefer to be, and watch what that you does with it. Do the same thing and you’ll get the same result. That’s what your imagination is for. It is the template, the blueprint. Follow it, mirror it, be it. Be that person. You will have the same kind of life.

Remember one other thing. What you see in me is a reflection of what I know you are. You are seeing you. Be that you if you prefer to be. I reflect what you can choose to be. It is up to you utterly.

Individual and Collective Consciousness / Equality Between Worlds

Asker
Earlier you had mentioned — I took it — being a consciousness or a world you’re part of, separate of a world we’re part of here, in a sense, on one level. Question I have is: individual consciousness and an entire, or full civilization, as-you-will consciousness. I get the feeling that you’re out individually, per se, channeling to we as individuals, in order for our world to touch your world as a collective. What do you feel will have to take place?
Asker
Bashar
Bashar

You must consider yourselves to be absolutely equal to us. Then we can interact on all levels you desire, to any level at all, in any way, shape, or format. Once you know you are equals and cease to consider yourselves as less or more among yourselves.

Now the idea that sometimes makes the idea of equality seem aberrant to many of you is that you have created a mythology — I shall say an assumption — that equality, unity, on your planet means loss of individuality, and it couldn’t be more opposite. The strengthening of the individuals you are, and the granting of equality to all other diversity of individuals in your society, is what will create you to be a unified world, a collective. Many individuals, each unique, each with their own expression, and yet at the same time of a single mind, of a single heart, of a single thought. It is both.

So while I am an individual, by all means an individual, I am also the collective at the same time, at any time I choose to see myself that way. At any time it serves our interaction, simply for the purpose of reflecting to each and every one of you, individually and collectively, that at any time you sense my energy to be that of an individual and that of a collective, you will simply know, as a reflection back to you, that nothing that we have created ourselves to be is at the expense of either side.

Bashar
Bashar
The feeling I get is that you’re waiting then for a collective.
Asker
Not me. I’m not waiting. I am doing — I recognize that your world is moving into the idea of a collective, but I’m not waiting for it.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
I understand. But we do perceive that the world you call your earth, its energy, approximately within what you call the next 30 to 50 of your years at the outside, will be functioning very similarly to our civilization.

Creation, Excitement, and Choosing a Career (the Writer)

Asker
You say that we should do things that excite us the most.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Not that you should, but that if you do, you will have a life of ecstasy.
Asker
How does that fit in with choosing and creating your own lifestyle. When I wanted to find a new job, I had a choice of one job that excited me greatly, and another choice of a job that excited me but not as much. I ended up with the job that excited me not as much. So I thought about — was it by your own choosing, or by what you call circumstance? That’s what I was wondering about. My first thought was, well, it was by circumstance. And then I thought about it, which can be unconscious choice.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
What you call circumstance can be unconscious choice.
Asker
Well, couldn’t I at the same time have chosen the thing that excited me the most?
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Do you absolutely believe, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that you were capable of doing that job?
Asker
Um… why is there hesitation? Well, because if I believed it, then it would have happened.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
All right. But that does not mean you have to play twenty questions with yourself. Do you believe right now that you are actually, truly capable of doing that job that you say excited you more?
Asker
Yes, I do.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
All right. Do you believe you deserve it?
Asker
Yes, absolutely, yes.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
All right. Now, is there anything else that actually excites you more than having gotten that job?
Asker
Not in terms of career positions.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Oh, we’re making a distinction. Let’s let go of the distinction for just a moment, if we may. What is the most exciting thing you can think of to do in your life, regardless of whether you call it a career or not?
Asker
Well, I like to write.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Is that more exciting than the job?
Asker
It is, but I’m writing at the same time. It is exciting when I do it.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
But you don’t believe you can be a writer now?
Asker
No, I am a writer now.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Oh, all right, you are a writer. Is that how you would prefer to make your living?
Asker
That is what I expect to do eventually for a living.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
May I ask you another question? You know what’s coming up now? [Applause] Let’s drag out the little machine with the little dial — the threshold-of-believability meter. All right, are you enjoying this?
Asker
Sure.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
All right, it’s fun. All right. Now, let’s explore together. Just, without thinking about it, in all the honesty you simply are aware of, answer rapidly, without thinking, all of the following questions. Now: you are a writer.
Asker
Yes.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Yes. All right. Now you have created a little bit of a differentiation in the sense that you now recognize you are a writer, but we are assuming, because of how you have defined yourself, that you do not necessarily think of yourself as a successful writer — correct?
Asker
Well, I haven’t sold a book yet.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Is that how you would define success? For now, will that do as a sufficient representation of success — the fact that you would be making your living at being a writer? Is that what you want?
Asker
Well, that’s how I look at it.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Is that what you want to be? Is that what excites you the most — to be a writer, and make a living at being a writer?
Asker
Sure, yes.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
All right, you’re clear on that?
Asker
Yes.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
All right, now, we set up the machine. Test it out. All right, it’s working perfectly. [Laughter] Answer the following series of questions quickly, directly, honestly — yes or no. Okay. Within what you call a ten-year time span, do you believe, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that within ten years you will be a successful writer?
Asker
Yes.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Five years?
Asker
Yes.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Three years?
Asker
More and more hesitation — maybe.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar

All right. Now, not that that will not change — in fact, it probably already has changed just because we have examined it. But if you use this technique, you always give yourself the opportunity to understand whatever amount of time the beliefs you have within you will probably allow it to take. When you start to hesitate — wherever that time frame is that you start to fluctuate — that is probably a good idea of exactly how long you will allow it to take right now, to be the idea you say really excites you.

Now, once you know how long you have created it to take, then you can examine and explore. Now you have some material to work with. Now you can say: why would I need to believe it would take that long? What belief and definition do I have, or would I have to have within me, to allow me to believe it would have to take three [years]? Do I want it to take three years? Yes or no?

Asker
Uh, no, I don’t.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Oh, all right. Then allow yourself the self-exploratory journey of openness and honesty with yourself. Discover within yourself, in your meditations, all the definitions you would have for why you would believe it would have to take three years. Get in touch with those definitions. Rewrite the ones you no longer prefer, the ones you believe absolutely are easy to change, the ones you really recognize you no longer prefer. Replace them with definitions you do prefer. Then hook yourself up to the meter again and go through it again. Do I believe, beyond a shadow of a doubt — and I mean beyond a shadow of a doubt — that I will be this writer that I prefer to be in ten years? Ten years?
Asker
A snap. No problem.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Five years?
Asker
Absolutely. How could it ever take that long?
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Three years?
Asker
No problem.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Two years?
Asker
Absolutely.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
One year?
Asker
Oh, well — one year.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar

One year. Oh, I see. All right. Now I have brought the three-year threshold down to one. Go back and examine the definitions over again. Do this, and be honest about what you discover. Be clear about your definitions as to what these things you say you want represent to you. For many times, the only thing that seems to stop something from manifesting faster is because of your definition of what you think it is, or what you think you will have to take along with it that you don’t necessarily want as a part of your definition of the thing you say you prefer.

Be clear about your definition of the thing you desire. You can use this technique to clarify that, and bit by bit you can allow that timing to become very, very foreshortened. Then you will begin to feel it be more imminent. The more imminent you feel it, the more excited you will be. The more excited you will be, the more accelerated your energy. The more accelerated your energy, the more imminent it will be. And on and on and on. And — pop. There it is.

Now let me just drop a little hint — for almost any type of endeavor that you would consider in this light that you might want to be: rarely does it ever require more than three of your months for full manifestation. Usually most things can at least start to fall into place within three weeks, and almost every endeavor will at least give you a sign it is starting to move in that direction within three of your days — if you trust, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the thing you say excites you the most is really the thing that can support you by definition, the thing you can really do effortlessly.

And again, watch the definition. You may believe you’re a writer — yes, I define myself as a writer. But why don’t you define yourself now as a successful one? That is a definition in and of itself.

And you don’t have to wait for — [do] anymore about it — when, in fact, there might be many things you could be acting on that represent the thing you really want to do. You might be settling for less by acting on some of the other circumstances rather than truly having, I’ll say, exhausted all of the prime opportunities first before you then allow yourself to start acting on the secondary-level opportunities. Yes, as always, if you truly have no capability in any other way, shape, or form of acting upon the thing that really excites you the most, then do, by all means, act upon the thing that is the next most exciting thing.

However, allow yourself to be very clear about what those prime opportunities are, because very often many of you will not realize nor recognize a prime opportunity because it’s right in front of your face.

Asker
Well, aren’t we creating these opportunities?
Asker
Bashar
Bashar

Yes. What I am saying is you may be creating more opportunities than you think and not recognizing them as opportunities, simply because you have always created them and simply take them for granted and don’t recognize them as opportunities. In other words — as an example, I’m not saying this is specifically the case with you, although some of this may be applicable — some of you will say, “All right, all right, I’m waiting for an opportunity.” Well, where is it? “Well, I’m waiting. Where’s the horns and the trumpets and the bugles and the lightning, the banners? Where is it?”

However, not stopping to realize that you have always known, for years of your life, that right down the block is someone who works in a certain capacity that, if you were to simply go to them and share your idea, could actually assist you in getting what you want. But, “Oh, no, no, no, no, that’s too mundane.”

But yet it could be an opportunity. That is the opportunity that represents the path of least resistance. You see, that’s the key. The opportunities will always be there, but they will be the ones that represent the path of least resistance. And sometimes you surround yourself with so many opportunities and take them for granted that you may not simply recognize them, simply because they have always been there, all your life, and even though now — maybe the first time you could really use it — you simply don’t pay attention because you have always seen it. You just treat it like part of the landscape, and it doesn’t stand out anymore to you.

So the idea is to act on whatever you really are capable of acting on. And many of you have been brought up to believe that certain things you are not capable of doing, and so because you have been brought up to believe you cannot do them, you can’t approach them. “What’s wrong with you? You can’t go talk to them, are you crazy?” And so when you hear enough of that, you walk right by the building every day. “Where’s that opportunity I’m waiting for?” And all you have to do is walk through those doors, go up and talk to those people as an equal, and let them respond to you as an equal. Because the whole idea is that you exist in a physical reality with many other physical beings, and you’re all here to help each other.

So all we are saying is that many times these opportunities are not going to be delivered by flying horses. Sometimes they can be very obvious in that fashion, but more often than not, the opportunities will always be right under your nose, but you have been taught out of seeing them.

Asker
Well, why would someone create something that doesn’t excite them the most?
Asker
Bashar
Bashar

That is not what we are literally discussing. The idea, however — one moment — the idea, however, is that, as we have just been saying, there are many, many things you might be very excited about if it weren’t for the fact that your society teaches you to not be excited about them. You might not understand that you really could innately be far more excited about far more things than you are allowing yourself to be excited about.

The idea is to face your world with a childlike fascination. Then you will begin to discover that many more things you take for granted as being mundane are actually quite a bit more exciting than you thought, and you will then be able to act on them because you now see them for the excitement they are. Many of you have very thick skins by this time, and so things that could be exciting to you don’t have much of an effect on you. You may not even be able to recognize your own excitement because of the thickness of that shell.

Bashar
Bashar
So start walking through it. Allow yourself to break through it by simply breaking through the conventions of your society, and that will allow the skin to become much thinner and allow the excitement to penetrate much more easily. Then it will be obvious in what direction it lies.

Serving Loved Ones Through Unconditional Love

Asker
I have some very wonderful friends who recently have shown their love for me in various ways, and I would like to be able to show mine for them a little bit better than I feel like I’ve been able to.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
In what way would you care to express your love?
Asker
In a way that they would appreciate their own lives better, that I might be able to help them.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar

Then be the fullest living example of unconditional love and ecstasy of living that you can be. And they can then see reflected in you a way they can choose to be, if they want to — but they don’t have to choose it. That is how you serve anyone, and it is the only way you can serve anyone. Be the fullest example of the idea that gives you the most joy. Reflect it to them. Share it with them, but not because they have to take it — simply because you are an opportunity they can choose if they want to. That is really all you can do.

Be of service in whatever way it moves you to be of service, and by example it can, as you say, rub off — but not for the purpose of getting them to change, just because that’s the way it gives you joy to be. Then they will see that joy. “Look at him. Look how happy he is. How do you do it?” “I do it because I choose to be of service, to be of joy, because I know I choose my reality. Therefore, I choose what I prefer. That’s how I do it.” You can, if you wish. You don’t have to, but you can if you wish.

Now remember that one of the easiest things to do is that if you do find someone in your reality that is living the way you want to live, copy them. Do what they do, and you’ll live that way too. So if you are the fullest living example you can be, then you give them the best opportunity to have something to copy.

The “Diplo Matt / Ambassador” Exchange

Bashar
Bashar
Hello, Mr. Diplo Matt.
Asker
Hello, Mr. Ambassador. [Laughter] Thank you, Bashar. Howdy — you know, I don’t really have a lot to say, I just wanted to say hi.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Hi. Thank you. Next. Almost, almost. All right, you’ll come up with something more.
Asker
Well, yeah — in the last few sharings I have addressed you as Mr. Ambassador, and you have addressed me as Mr. Diplo Matt. I had the feeling that there was a specific reason that you used “Diplo Matt.”
Asker
Asker
Since there is a distinction — a subtle distinction between ambassador and diplomat. Care to share why you chose that term?
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
let’s create a past here for a moment.
Asker
No, all right — and tell me the meaning that you meant when you’ve used it in the past, since you chose to use it.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar

Diplo Matt, the idea, many times, of what you perceive to be the fluctuations and inflections of how our thoughts translate into your language are not necessarily indicative of any particular meaning we wish to ascribe to the word, but are indicative of the way we are playing the energy, so that it will reach you on other levels.

The fluctuations that you hear audibly, many times, are simply an overlaying, as you would say, on a surface of some of the fluctuations that are going on in the depths.

The energy that is going on in the depths, much the same way that the waves on top of an ocean — up-and-down fluctuations and patterns that you see on the surface — to some degree reveal the actions of what is going on below, but do not necessarily tell the whole story. So when you hear such fluctuations, many times it is simply an indicator on the surface that there are other levels of communication going on below the surface, and that is simply how the surface, the word, responds to what is going on below it.

Asker
I understand — I have understood that before. Now why don’t you share with me some of those underlying interactions? What do you feel them to have been?
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Well, regardless of the way you chose to, or the way the energy translated in the tonalities…
Asker
Yes.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
I felt that you chose that because you perceived something about me — past or future, as I’m creating it from present time.
Asker
All right, perhaps, which related to diplomacy.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Oh, you see, an ambassador can be a lousy diplomat, quote unquote, and a diplomat doesn’t necessarily have to be an ambassador.
Asker
Nice. So you chose the word diplomat, and I thought perhaps I felt that you were perceiving something.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Well, the word diplomat, to some degree, is far more representative of the older terminology we used for you, which is simply “switcher,” since it is an exchange of energy through a central medium.
Asker
Ah, I see that connection. Thanks. Okay — anything else you’d like to share about that?
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Thank you. One other thing — simply the recognition that even though we may have, quote unquote, chosen that particular modulation at that time with a particular intent, it was on your behalf the choice to make a mystery out of it.
Asker
Well, but we blind you? No, not to contradict you — I really didn’t make a mystery out of it.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
No, I understand on that level. All we are saying is that you were the one with the question: “What did you mean by that, Bashar?”
Asker
I didn’t — it really didn’t come across as mystery.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Yes, I do not mean it in the fullest sense of the word. I am, once again, playing with you.

Rutilated Quartz Crystal and Sensitivity

Asker
I recently was invited to somebody’s home, and they had a great deal of crystals in their room.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
A great deal of crystals. Yes, yes, a lot of crystal power.
Asker

All right, and I picked up a small piece of rutilated quartz crystal, and I started to pass out, and I had to leave the room, and for the rest of the evening, when we did some group meditations, I felt very close to fainting. So about a week later, I bought a small piece of rutilated quartz, and I find whenever I hold it directly that I start to get nauseous.

I’m wondering why the titanium has this effect on me, and what it means.

Asker
Bashar
Bashar

To some degree it is simply indicative of the highly sensitized, directional conductor that you are now allowing yourself to become. You are now tapping into a live current. You simply have some remnant beliefs within you that allow you to feel a little bit overloaded by what you are now beginning to understand to be a very large flow of energy that you have access to, always have had actually, and always have used — but now you’re becoming aware of it. So there is less resistance, fewer resistors to block the overall effect from you.

Understand? The quartz simply reflects — the rutilation reflects your hyper-sensitivity as an antenna.

Asker
Now, understand, does that mean that I should work with the stone, or should I avoid it because it’s too powerful?
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Oh, you can work with it if you wish. It can aid and assist you. Remember, any crystals in that sense, even though they are representative of energy and power in that way on their own right, are only triggers and catalysts for the power you are. They are reflective facets of what it is you are creating yourself to be at any given moment. So by all means you can work with it. Start small if you wish. Enlarge it when you believe your capacity to flow that energy through you is enlarged, if you wish. But remember, you are your own crystal, and you have your own conductive filaments in that sense, and you are simply now becoming more sensitized to the antenna of directive energy that you are — my little flashlight.
Asker
Are there any other stones that would be as conducive to this?
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Perhaps what can assist you, to some degree, since you are dealing with these symbols to begin with, might be a small quantity of what you call hematite, to magnetically flatten or ground you to some degree. And also, in and of itself, now and then you might wish to simply handle the pure quartz form without the rutilation, to create what you simply might call a bit of a blank for a moment, to allow what you choose to perceive as the energy to be able to sort of diffuse without being so highly directed in a laser-like fashion.
Bashar
Bashar
But trust your own imagination and trust what you attract to you. All of these things are simply reflective symbols of the idea you are awakening to find yourself to be. So enjoy.
Asker
Can I ask you one quick thing related to it? I asked you a few weeks ago about alternate energy that would be non-polluting. Would the titanium relate to this?
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Yes, to some degree it does.

Sensing Connections, Prediction, and a Strange Dream Experience

Asker
You had discussed a connection that I have with another individual, and how our interaction may best progress to serve ourselves and humanity. Thanks. Now, I know that I have the ability to choose the path I’m going to take, and to go ahead with agreements I’ve made or change them.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Yes.
Asker
I also know that — well, what I want to ask you is: how can you see the future, in a sense? I know time is an illusion, but if you can kind of pick up on connections that two people have…
Asker
Bashar
Bashar

Some things now and then will flow into formation and be representative of a highly momentum-fulfilled state. Those stand out. So it’s the vibration of energy you’re picking up on — overlapping vibrations that reinforce each other are sometimes easier to perceive. But the idea of any sort of prediction is always a fluctuating idea at best, because there is no solid future, and the ones that are perceived are simply the ideas, the probable realities that have the highest degree of momentum, the highest degree of reinforced energy behind them at any given moment — but only at the time the prediction is made, because the prediction is simply a sensing of the energy that is the most likely to manifest at the time the prediction is made. That can change in the very next second. You can perceive things that seem unlikely to divert, and those are the ones that usually come to pass.

Understand?

Asker
Yes, I knew that, then. All right, I have one other quick question. The last two weeks I’ve been dreaming and remembering my dreams, and a lot of simultaneous lives that I’ve been dreaming about. And last week I went to sleep and I literally don’t remember the entire evening — other than I woke up and the nightgown I usually sleep in was tossed across the room, and my bed looked like a war zone. And I had a sensing of extraterrestrial presence, to some degree.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Yes. Would you like to add anything?
Asker
No.
Asker
Bashar
Bashar

Okay. It will come out in the fullness of time. Many times this can be a general clue for all of you. Many times, when you awaken from your typical sleep state truly feeling like you have been out and not really carrying back with you any particular memory at all, is usually an indication of simply a very strong and direct and straight communication with another level of consciousness that your mentality simply, at this time, hasn’t yet assimilated in terms it can understand, to be able to present to you symbols that make sense. But it will play out in the things you do. The information and the energy is there and is representative of the agreements you are making in doing the things that excite you the most. This information will come out in the actions you perform in life, and, bit by bit, through many different methodologies — some of which you may call déjà vu, some of which may simply be instantaneous revelation of awareness, some of it simply the synchronicity of the interactions that go on, the coincidences in your life. All of these, and many more, are different ways that this information plays itself out, to bring back to you, through your reality and awareness, all that you have created and agreed to.

So, bit by bit, it will come out. Now you can begin, even in your dream realities, to ask for more assistance in unfolding it and in remembering it, but do not insist upon it. Continue with your life. It will all flow out if you keep flowing. Don’t stop and try to analyze it — you block the flow. Keep flowing, keep doing, keep being, and it will come out, because that’s what it’s for — to be put into active service.

Asker
My remembering all these other dreams — I know that I’m blending more and integrating. What is the service of them?
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
It can be absolutely individual from dream to dream. They can be representative of many different types of interactions or self-aware revelations. Get in touch with each and every one, and examine every idea that you remember in the dream, and remember that it’s a part of you. So talk to it, dialogue with it. Ask yourself: “This is me. I am this portion of the dream. I am this thing in my dream. I am this emotion in my dream. What do I want to say to me?” Listen. You’ll get an answer.
Asker
Okay. Just relax and let it flow?
Asker
Bashar
Bashar
Yes.

The Impending “Axis Shift” and Fear vs. Positive Transformation

Asker: I read in a book this afternoon that there’s an impending axis shift…

Bashar: Changes of electromagnetic energy there are. But again, the idea, the overall fundamental idea, is that any transformation can be experienced in a positive or a negative way. It’s up to you. Whatever vibration you buy into most strongly will be the way you experience the shifts going on in your electromagnetic field. Individuals that have a great deal of fear about the shift will lure themselves into places of destruction. Individuals that simply understand they can use the energy to enlighten themselves and elevate and accelerate themselves in a positive way will simply know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, they do not have to give themselves the idea of a trial by fire, and they will lure themselves to places on your planet where they will experience the energy as a destructurization rather than destruction.

The more individuals on your planet that recognize you can use this energy in a positive way, rather than simply fearing it or believing it has to happen in a negative way, then can change the energy of the entire planet, so that the majority of the planet need not experience any transformation, any shift, in a negative way at all.

So the idea is that yes, there are shifts in your energy taking place both in you and what you call your planet, since, in a sense, you are one and the same thing here and there, as you have experienced this day of your time. You may see pockets of adjustment in your land mass, but it does not have to be as devastatingly overwhelming as many of you used to fear it had to be. You have already done much to change a lot of that energy. You have already changed it in a positive way to a great degree just by being willing to understand that you do not really have to truly shake yourselves completely awake — that if you’re willing to wake up now, you do not have to suffer and struggle and go through all sorts of negative trials in order to simply wind up with the understanding you could have now, that you deserve happiness, and that you can create your reality to be whatever you prefer it to be.

A lot of the idea of someone experiencing a transformation in a negative way is simply because they are holding on so tight to an old belief and will not allow themselves to let it go and trust their natural flow, that it takes that degree of violence to make them break their grip. Sometimes individuals will actually even take themselves out of physical reality in order to allow themselves to start afresh, but they do not really die. Nothing ever really does. It is all eternal and infinite. However, you don’t have to struggle, and you don’t have to suffer.

Anytime you are made aware of an idea, and it is presented in what you may call a potentially negative format, take it not as an absolute prediction chiseled in steel — or neutronium, or whatever you think is most difficult to change — but the idea is simply presented as an opportunity. Look: it says you can vibrate in synchronous accord with the negative energy of this idea, the fear, and attract yourself to it and attract it to you, or vibrate in accord with the positive energy — the opportunity, the exploration, the excitement, not the anxiety and the fear and the limitation and the segregation. Whatever vibration you choose will be the reality you get.

Remember, no circumstance has built-in meaning. All situations are fundamentally neutral, blank, empty, zero. You give them the meaning because of what you have been taught to believe these things mean. The meaning you give it is the effect you get. Positive meaning in, positive effect out; negative meaning in, negative effect out. Simple physics, simple mechanics. You experience the reality you are the vibration of. You cannot experience the reality you are not the vibration of.
