Sasquatch Dreams

Asker: Is being scared/sacred will force you into the exploration of your spirituality?

Bashar: It can be. It is one way. Yeah. I wonder if you could go into that a little bit, because my question beforehand was: I had believed that I had tied in to a concept that, uh, in order to be enlightened, righteous, whatever you want to call it, you have to go through a period of suffering and a challenge.

Bashar: Yes. Doesn’t necessarily have to be experienced as suffering, but yes, the challenge is necessary for the evolution. Many people will allow it to be on the level of actual suffering, and this does not in any shape or form take away from the ability to transmute it, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be actual suffering to be a tried-and-true challenge to the self. If it is accepted on that level, it will be transmuted as a challenge rather than experienced as true suffering.

Asker: Well, how does this work? In a sense, it just forces you to be in the now so much, or it throws you off, put you into a total now?

Bashar: How? Okay. Yes, that is what it does in a sense. All right. It also forces you to look at many different components and perspectives of yourself that you may not necessarily, shall we say, get to use in a typical day-to-day occurrence, so that you can really learn more about who you are and what you can bring to bear in any given situation, so to speak. Sometimes it’s for that purpose too, to help round you out by showing you what you’re capable of that you weren’t aware you were capable of.

Asker: Okay. Um, another thing. Last time I was here, I was talking about crystals and you mentioned life in Atlantis. Um, in communication with my guides and our SA [Spiritual Advisor], I thought that I was uh, one of the bad guys that misused this power.

Bashar: Well, once upon a time. It doesn’t mean that’s the only life you had in Atlantean times. All of you have, as you say, played the bad guy more than once.

Asker: But in a specific one?

Bashar: Yes. With regard to… okay. Um, and so… well, I guess it just ties into a desire that I have in this lifetime to be the good guy. Well, acquire greater powers but to use them as the good guy.

Bashar: Yes. Yeah. Yes. Well, this is a natural result of knowing that you need to balance that idea within your total being.

Asker: Yeah. Okay. All right. Just one more thing. Um, you also mentioned I was familiar with fluid octahedron. Oh, did it? Was it well? I’m… and Antoinette was nice enough to bring me one. Oh. And I know that I should go in here and explore myself, what I can feel or do with these. I seem to get no connection. Can you at least guide me in the right direction or give me a hint of how I use that? Is that a representation or an actual crystal?

Bashar: It’s an actual crystal.

Asker: All right. Is it of the appropriate color that we suggested?

Asker: Yes. All right. It’s a little bit… a little bit clear, but yes, the same color.

Bashar: All right. In looking at this, do you have it with you now?

Asker: Yes, I do.

Bashar: Are you holding it in your hand?

Asker: Yes, I am.

Bashar: Which hand do you prefer to hold it in?

Asker: Well, I’m holding it in my left hand.

Bashar: All right. In regarding this, just look at it. Just look at it right now. Just look at it. Turn it around. Examine it from whatever side you have a fancy to examine it from, as you say. Just ponder it. Just contemplate it. Just have it there before you, right at your fingertips. In this moment of contemplation, does it represent in any way shape or form anything to you at all with regard to the idea of your Atlantean connection and knowledge?

Asker: Well, what came to me is uh, we are familiar with the pyramids in Egypt and seeing the top half, and since this goes down an equal direction the other direction, there’s uh, I’m getting some type of an idea of an equal energy that we don’t see in the same way.

Bashar: You could say a hidden half. Hidden half.

Anything else that comes from your understanding that this hidden half exists, creating a whole?

Not right now.

All right. I’ll give you a clue as well. Look sideways at the slice that represents the interface between the two halves.

Okay. I will give you this, although this is only one portion of this road, one very small step, but you may find, mind you, that your consciousness will expand perhaps by including this as well.

This has been given to you, as you say, by the entity you call in your language Anet. Yes. Yes. From a Kahuna to a Kachina. Okay.

So explore the interface that appears to be dimensionless between the two halves. You will find it filled with many interesting things if you learn to look at it from the right angle.

Asker: Um, enjoyed the information uh, this evening, and also the information that came through the Observer and about the 13 and uh, the Wizard’s cap. Yes. Well, I would think that a mage in particular would enjoy the idea about the Wizard’s cap. Yes. I sat there and tingled the whole time. Um, some reflections on the Observer. It felt as though um, he was observing the evolution of the earth and all of us and scanning us all. It… pardon me. It… um, is there any connection to the Watcher energy?

Bashar: Of course, there is a connection. The Watcher energy is contained within the Observer.

Asker: Okay. Uh, because in Egyptian times, uh, there was uh, one of the gods that was considered… um, uh, well, in the only planet of choice, Thoth was considered that being uh, that helped make the Sphinx. Uh, connection with the Council of Nine? And I wondered if there is a connection.

Bashar: Only in that a recognition was made of that level of consciousness level and the representation was created to symbolize it.

But it is in a sense not a representation of the total energy of that being, but only of the facet that is, as you say, germane to the particular culture that represented it in their interpretation of their relationship to it.

Since Above All, The Observer is the very epitome of the concept of relationship. Right?

Um, is Observer, since he’s the Oversoul of the Association… um, remember that that is not an absolute right definition. Right? That’s an energetic. It is one way to understand or look at or reflect the relationship with the Observer. Right? But only one way. Okay.

Um, but do proceed. Is he going to come back again? It… I’m sorry, come forward if summoned?

Bashar: But I give you this, and I will put it of course in what you would call your classical and colloquial vernacular, not meant in a negative way, but sit up and pay attention to this warning.

Warning. Warning to summon the Observer is to summon a relationship and to summon an interaction.

The Observer, if summoned, may see you in a different light than you see yourself and may call upon you to express the self it sees.

If you do not feel up to the task of doing so, the Observer may never acknowledge your summons again.

And if you summon it and accept that a task may be given, you may find in your own terms that it may be something you will really have to deal with that may not necessarily be easy for you, but it guaranteed will stretch you. If you are willing to do that.

But we give you this buffer zone as a warning: do not summon it lightly.

Mhm. Because you will in a sense need to be prepared either to really change, or to find that you will not necessarily be capable of communicating with it for quite some time thereafter, until such time as it has recognized you being the self it recognizes you as.

Then it may reinitiate communication. If it initiates the communication, as it did this last time, no such task will be required.

But if you summon it, because it is all about the idea of relationship, it will want to relate to you as it sees you from its point of view, which may require your personality to disassemble itself in ways that will not necessarily be comfortable for you. And that is not meant in a negative sense.

So be prepared if this happens. This is the only disclaimer we will give. End of warning.

Asker: Okay. I don’t think I’ll call for a while.

Bashar: Um, but that is your choice. Yes.

Asker: But sitting there, there was the feeling of a uh, a knowing, a deep knowing from from somewhere. Um, what’s interesting is some people had no problem speaking. Uh, I wasn’t able to articulate anything that that evening. Um, oh, right. And it was only on the way home that I could actually formulate a question that I would have asked.

Bashar: All right. Is that because of the strength of the energy? Um, I know sometimes when we’re interacting, because of the strength of your own energy in the reflection that it gave you of your own energy, it may have in a sense put you at a loss for words because you were so surprised at the strength of your own energy.

Asker: Oh, okay. Uh, because sometimes in the interactions with you, uh, someone else will ask a question and I’ll say, and I’ll be thinking, gee, if they just would ask another one in another line. But I also realize that when we are communicating with you, uh, sometimes our left brain is not connected to our right brain, that we’re sort of uh, feeling it and not always able to articulate or go beyond our questions.

Bashar: Okay. Well, this is all about the idea of integration. So we give you more than enough opportunity to give yourself the opportunity to integrate in whatever way shape or form you believe represents a balance in the relationship. That’s up to you. It’s not up to us to force you. Um, any wizard stories? Any more wizard stories?

Asker: Wizard story?

Bashar: Yes. As we have to some degree indicated, this will begin in your new orbit. Okay. It will be one of the things in some sense that will be included in the new exercises for the discovery and self-realization that will take place within our future interactions, as you call them. Thus, great. We will include the idea of what you have euphemistically called “wizard story.” Stories. But be prepared, they will be more than stories. Mhm. You may be called upon to be the characters in the stories and play them out very literally.

Asker: I this is my favorite time of year, Christmas. And um, um, I relate very much with Santa Claus as an elf because I make things for people’s presents and I just feel very connected with Santa Claus and Mrs. Santa Claus. And I created like stories about little elfins and I make paintings of them. They look like little El Santa Clauses and stuff. So I’m… I kind of say I’m really glad you told that story.

Bashar: All right. Thank you for your synchronicity. Yeah. And there’s a little Zeta Claus right over your shoulder. Somebody made that too. That comes through the chimney with a little wizard hat on. This was done by the channel. Ah. Great. So we believe it is what on your planet you call a joke.

Asker: I… I like who’s coming through the chimney? Right. Yes. Take us up. Beam us up. So um, well, I have a… I just want to acknowledge the great Observer and thank him and send my love. I mean, thank it. I mean, I have felt its energy around me coming through on an aesthetic band. Very aesthetic. Loving. Very loving. Very powerful. Humongously compassionate.

Bashar: Humongously. Yes. Has divine level for me. It is in many ways an aspect of the essence of unconditional compassion. For it to be able to function as it does as the Oversoul of the Association, yes. Very. For only in that degree of allowance could so many different civilizations and beings interact in what you would call a smooth, ecstatic, and energetic way.

Asker: Well, I am really feeling the acceleration. All right. And I’m just acknowledging synchronicity at every moment and it happens real exciting. Antoinette and I moved. I moved in at Anet’s house and so she’s got all kinds of uh, beautiful things there to create a lot of magic with. Nice. So we’re going to be making probably a lot of wizard hats.

Bashar: And all right. Is up to you as how you express your creativity.

Asker: So I that’s… I just basically wanted to tell you what we’re up to and thank you. Wish you all a, you know, Christ Consciousness wake up. Baby love for all. On Essani Shakana. Awareness to all of you as well. That’s the word. All right. Shakana. Thank you. You and then you number two: do you know who you are?

Sasquatch Dreams and St. Germain

Asker: I had a pretty wild dream the other night, or actually last night, but it seemed really real. I haven’t been remembering my dreams lately and this one was like really cool. But it um, it… there were there were these uh, Bigfoots. Only they don’t like to be called Bigfoot. They’re like, but they’re not like Yeti, Abominable Snowmen. They’re like, you know, brown-furred kind of… you know what they are? Sasquatch.

Bashar: Yeah. Sasquatch. That’s the word.

Asker: They were like everywhere and they were intermingling with humans. But as humans have a tendency to destroy what they don’t understand, they started…

Bashar: It is not a tendency, it is a teaching.

Okay. But these guys, because there was a few of them that had like a small amount of being able to be interdimensional, and eventually the ones that stayed third-dimensional obviously here got all destroyed, most of them.

And then the only ones that survived were basically the fourth-dimensional ones and the guy, you know, the ones that were able to go outside of human contact, kind of thing. Yes.

And every once in a while they bleed through and that’s why we perceive them. Yes.

Is any of that true or is it stream of consciousness? But I had… I also had a distinct feeling that I was one of them somehow.

Bashar: You are connected on some level. Yes.

The idea is that you are connected in the recognition of different lifetimes where you have interacted with these beings from time to time.

And also in that they reflect to you symbolically the particular kind of process you are going through in attempting to define yourself as a fourth-dimensional being in terms of then what you will, quote-unquote, “leave behind” as a third-dimensional being.

Although of course, the process of integration is leaving nothing behind, but accepting and incorporating all of it into yourself. But you understand what we mean by that.

So they act now as a reminder of the concept of tribal familiarity, to take you back to old and ancient understandings of groundedness and relationship to the nature of your world, so that you can get in touch with that nature in a natural way and express it through yourself in a natural way, so that you can aid and assist yourself through their reflection to you, their aid and assistance to you, in allowing the transformation to take place in a very solid, grounded, easy, effortless, natural way.

Bashar: In a sense, it was genetically the way they were created for differences in what you would call environmental realities in past times, so they could withstand certain shifts of temperature. Do you understand? Yes. Also, it is a reflection of their degree of sensitivity, in many similar ways to the idea of your Animal Kingdom, in that the hair follicles act like little antennas. They know how to understand that they are receiving etheric energy through these antennas, so they utilize it as an extra sense that many of you have forgotten how to have.

Asker: What’s St. Germain’s relationship with the Association?

Bashar: Not direct in that sense. The idea is that it is a representation of one of the archetypal levels of your own Collective Consciousness on Earth and in the spirit realm.

And the connection or relationship to the Association would simply be as part of the energy complex of consciousness through which the Association must, in a sense, colloquially put, must ask permission of to interact with your individuals in your reality, to make sure that we are not violating any trusts, not stepping on any toes, not interfering with any ideas you have for yourself in your own evolution.

We always check in with the collective archetypal consciousness, the World Spirit of Your World, of which the concept of the energy of Germain is a part and forms an archetypal function with regard to overseeing certain regulatory energies that have to do with types of communication and types of self-realization.

Asker: It actually brings up more questions. So all right. Um, I was at the channeling the day before you did The Observer. Yes.

And you said an entity would be coming, guys. And from that time until the Observer came, St. Germain was working a lot with me.

All right. Who I have a relationship with, but he’s not normally the main being. Yes. And even while the Observer was present, I also felt so much of what I would consider St. Germain’s energy. Yes. It’s all right.

And so… and well, I’m wondering, you know, if you can shed some light on that. Because there’s… what light do I need to shed? You have already said, in that sense, that you have made a connection to that level of energy in that you know it can work with the particular frequency that you are working with now and help reinforce that understanding within you.

So you simply also decided that any new energy you would experience, especially one that would represent a type of large-scale energy, would be a good opportunity to refine the process, refine your senses, and invite that energy to continue to work with you so that you can open up and absorb as much information and knowledge and experience in any such interaction as you deem is necessary for your growth.

Asker: Yeah. Actually, that’s probably what I was feeling but I couldn’t put my name on but uh, words to it was that the Observer’s been to go through a doorway or filtering of St. Germain for me, maybe to make it understand a little more.

Bashar: Understand. That’s how it works for you. Mhm. Okay. Again, it is all about the idea of relationship. So of course, the Observer will use any primary relationship as a conduit so as to not violate the relationships you have deemed are the best conduits for you to work with. Does that help you?

Asker: Yeah. I guess I’m just also learning about more of my relationship with St. Germain though, because of like I said, he’s normally not the most present one.

Bashar: But of course, what you are fundamentally learning about is your primary relationship with yourself. Mhm. Thank you. Capish?

Asker: I had one other question. Um, I’m not quite sure how to phrase this right now, so please bear with me.

Bashar: I will bear with you if you wish.

Asker: In the last couple months since I’ve been coming here, it seems like a lot of the focus is on working with your beliefs, which is somewhat of a mental process that depends on how you go about it. Okay. Um, is there any heart-type of process that you work with where you could integrate the heart and the mind together?

Bashar: Well, of course, you can always approach this from your feeling center.

Never, in talking about the idea of belief, just because they represent the blueprint level, do you have to approach it from that level?

Because it is a three-fold process of belief, feeling, and action. You can approach it from any of the three.

So the idea, of course, is that it is very easy to transform belief by looking, in a sense, at the idea from the feeling you get in any experience you have.

So to feel more fully, to examine the experience from the feeling state, can also put you in touch with the belief that you would have to have that would generate that feeling.

You can approach it from any direction of the three you wish. It’s up to you.

Asker: I understand what you just said, but you don’t know how to go about… no, I don’t think I asked my question correctly, but I’d have to give it a lot more thought to…

Bashar: I see. Now, I’m going to ask you a question. However, in your own words, in that you understand it, in a sense comprehended intellectually, and that you want to give more thought to it, why yourself do you not necessarily speak in the vernacular of feeling if that’s what you want to have more of?

Asker: Well, actually, I think it’s because I’m looking at it from a different perspective right now. So I was… okay, can I explain it? Give me a chance. Um, you know how in a lot of spiritual teachings here, it’s taught for the mind to be the master of the heart? Who says that? No, I’m sorry. The other way. For the heart to be… for the mind to be the servant of the heart.

Bashar: Well, euphemistically, although nothing to be a servant of anything, but I understand what you mean. Okay. Um, I’m kind of approaching it from that angle where there’s many times where I’m in my heart, okay, and my heart tells me things, but then it kind of moves, the energy moves into the mind and my mind starts judging it. So I was wondering if there was a technique to stay in that heart. Just a different approach.

Bashar: I was… what makes you think you’re not in the heart when you judge yourself?

Asker: I haven’t thought about that.

Bashar: But you may be within the idea of your fear. Therefore, that is what results in the idea of the judgment that you experience in your mind. So the idea is to recognize that the judgment of the mind is coming from the fear that’s in the heart.

Interdimensional Travel, Intention, and Manifestation

Asker: Um, I wanted to talk to you about this interdimensional vortex travel thing that’s happening. This interdimensional vortex travel thing that’s happening.

Bashar: Yes. Yes. Can you be more specific?

Asker: Well, I’d spoken to you a few weeks ago about when the interactions occur now. And I try very, very hard to focus my intention and stop it when that paralysis field comes on.

Bashar: Then it is not really the idea of having to try very hard. The idea actually is to relax into more of the self.

Asker: Well, they trying very hard is actually not a conscious effort, it just happens.

Bashar: It’s just you are saying that that appears to you to be the result rather than the idea of the mode you are using. Right? Except that you had said that um, possibly the Zetas were using this as an opportunity for me and had shifted the nature of the interactions in some senses.

Asker: Yes. Not so much that they necessarily need to use it as an opportunity for you, but that you are using it as an opportunity for you regardless of their intention. Okay.

Asker: Well, what has been happening recently is I have been able—which I’m surprised at myself—but I’ve actually been able to set an intent during that time when the paralysis field comes across. And what’s been happening is I don’t get what I intend at all. And for the first time, I’m having absolutely no recollection of what I’m getting. I get up out of bed just as these other parallel realities had occurred, and I go into the other room and I open the door expecting… there’s the problem. Expecting…

Bashar: You cannot set intent with expectation.

Whoa. You set intent simply as a guideline to open the door. You cannot expect that a particular thing will be on the other side of the door, otherwise you won’t see what’s there because your expectation will blind you.

So that’s why I have no recollection of what was there at all. So set your intention but remove the expectation.

Uhhuh. You understand how to do this for yourself? Your intention is just the calling forth of an energy in general to intend the idea to be yourself in whatever way shape and form that needs to happen that represents the path of least resistance.

That’s why you need to remove the expectation, because you cannot contain within your mental consciousness all of the different ways that the revelation of yourself to yourself could possibly occur.

So intend to be yourself, but you don’t have to limit the intention down to the level of an expectation, because that’s in a sense what expectation is: limited intention.

Asker: So when you’re setting an intent, you’re not really setting a clear intent for this particular reality to occur? This dimensional experience?

Bashar: Not in what you are doing here. Or no, it’s just intending to be yourself and living that vibration more fully.

And then intention is the idea of declaration of the self. Ah. Intend.

So then you… you just hold that intention and then you get out knowing what you feel like, the real you, the natural you, who you are.

All of you know this. All of you have this feeling, this vibration, that you know is the feeling of your true self.

And if you bury it under many, many things that you’ve been taught to bury it under, sometimes it may seem difficult to find or to recognize, or you can’t really believe when you find it that you can allow it to become dominant.

Nevertheless, you will all generally find that you know it when you feel it, or you know it when you see it, or you know it when you hear it. You know who you are.

You just have to believe that that’s true, and then your reality will follow.

Asker: So this has, which I’m seeing now more clearly, this has always felt very important in terms of creating a certain intent and reality in this state, you know?

Bashar: Yes. Because all you have to do to manifest anything is simply be who you are, because you already are connected to everything. Thus, the manifestation is automatic. And that’s why you don’t need expectation, because that only functions as a limitation on what you’re actually capable of manifesting by being yourself.

Because the real you, in that sense, knows who it is, knows what it contains, knows what the experience needs to be that is the reflective experience you need at this moment for the personality structure to grow and for the soul to grow.

So you don’t have to necessarily tie down to dictating what you think that ought to be, right? Because you already instinctively know what it needs to be for you.

Very important point within what you call that book we mention that you will discover when you read it in Conversations with God. Very important point regarding the idea of intention and manifestation. You will come across it in the appropriate chapter.

Basics. It goes something like this: “However, when you say ‘I’, that is the acknowledgment of who you are. That’s all that’s necessary for the universe to acknowledge that you’re about to manifest something. ‘I’. That’s it. Whatever the verb is that comes after it is the activation verb.”

So as the book points out, when you say “I want this,” then the activation you are activating is wanting. Do you understand? “I want.” All right. Says the universe: go ahead, want all you want to. And that’s all that manifests is you wanting.

The verb that follows immediately the “I”—the verb that follows immediately the “I”—is the activation agreement. Therefore, “I am” is what allows the manifestation to become present.

And that’s why prayer is always stated in the present: that you are already grateful because it already is. Not “I want.” You are already grateful because it all already is and you already are. Not “I want.” Otherwise, that’s what you get. One thing.

So “I” is the only declaration you need to initiate the universe’s readiness to respond to what the activation verb is that follows the declaration of self, which is the same thing as intention.

Asker: It does. And I had wanted to ask you at some point why you had wanted to… and now perhaps you are at… yeah. Why uh… now?

Bashar: Understand, we do not say this so that you have to watch every little word.

Obviously, there are people on your planet who you see that are great manifestors, and you may overhear them saying, “I want to do this, I want to do that.”

Understand, in that context, if you can see by their actions that they are obviously easily manifesting who they are in terms of abundance and creativity and what have you, obviously the use of the phrase “Oh, I want to do this and I want to do that” has no real charge behind it.

But in many cases, when you hear someone say “I want,” it is coming with a charge because they are coming from a place of need, neediness. “I want.” And therefore, that’s what manifests.

But just idly saying, “Oh, I want to do this,” as long as it is connected to the energy of “I am this,” beyond the shadow of a doubt, that doesn’t make a difference.

In that context, you say “I want to do this.” You understand the difference? This is why most prayer doesn’t work.

Asker: Yes. But in a sense, it actually always does work. Right? You get exactly what you say. Right? It always works. But I understand the context in which you mean that.

Bashar: Yes. Because most people say “I want.” All right. Prayer answered: go on wanting.

Or you come out of that sense of “I want” and “I need,” and and and… that’s what, of course.

You also need to pay attention to the idea that sometimes many people desire things that they also, in their hearts, know is really indirect contradiction to what it is that really, really, really is representative of who they are.

And so you have to take that into consideration too. And it requires honesty in terms of what you’re saying you are, to know that that’s really true and not just giving it, as you say, lip service.

Dream of Ants and Stigmata

Asker: I found myself in this house in one of the rooms with some other people, and there were plants all over the room. Plants. Plants. Yes.

There was one specific plant. It was very green, hanging from the ceiling. And when I looked up at it, it was full of ants. Ants. It was ants. Ants. Like a billion ants. A billion? Yeah. So billions and billions.

I kept looking at it. Yes. And the leaves were turning pink. Yes.

So I got the presence of mine to go into the bathroom, fill the tub of water. I took the plant and threw it in there and turned the shower on. Yes.

What’s the significance? What was it trying to tell me?

Bashar: Yes. I see. What was your feeling about the ants being in the plants?

Asker: They weren’t supposed to be there.

Bashar: They weren’t? Are you sure? I don’t know. Oh, come on now. Guess. You do. Were they supposed to be there or not?

Asker: No.

Bashar: All right. Now, what was the idea behind throwing this in the water?

Asker: To get the ants off the plants.

Bashar: I see. What do the ants represent to you? What do they symbolize to you?

Asker: Parasites.

Bashar: They will from time to time deign to function as that symbol for you humans. It’s not what they are, but they will sometimes agree to function as that symbol for you humans.

Now, if these things represent to you all sorts of little things that you believe bother you, pester you in your belief system, the idea is that this dream symbolizes that the only way really that you’re going to deal with this is to really allow yourself to dive into more understanding of your emotional heart energy.

The idea of the green and the pink is representative of a transition in heart energy. And the idea of going into the water, putting it in the water, is representative of being willing to go deeper into your emotional essence of self in order to alleviate what you believe doesn’t belong there.

But they were showing you that you need to make this transition. A symbol that might work well for you. And again, remember, it’s only a symbol.

Is that substance you call Watermelon Tourmaline? What you typically call Watermelon Tourmaline, because it is literally green and pink in one crystal.

MH. By reflecting on this, in a sense, by meditating on this and getting in touch with the transitions going on in your heart, getting in touch with your belief systems—the ones that you believe don’t belong within you, that are inappropriate within you, that will not allow you to flourish and grow the way—the way to allow yourself to alleviate this is to dive more deeply into the feelings you have about things and to understand that any meaning that anything may contain or may seem to contain at first glance is a meaning you have been taught to put to it.

It doesn’t have that meaning by itself. When you start to investigate and explore this in this way, you will also begin to see the ants in a different light, and they can start to reflect and represent many different kinds of things to you in a more positive way. You understand?

Yeah. You will learn how to communicate with all of those components you have fragmented yourself into. Therefore, instead of them being little bitty fragments of one large hive mentality, you will start to function more from the holism, the holistic point of view, by integrating all of those fragments you have splintered yourself into in the past.

Asker: Two years ago on my return from Brazil I manifested stigmata in both my hands and feet. What was the significance?

Asker: I don’t have this… like this idea. You have no idea at all? Fascinating. I ask you this: how do you feel about yourself by experiencing that manifestation? How do you view yourself? How… what do you think of yourself by having created that particular manifestation?

Asker: I’ve always felt good about myself. Yes. In general, on one level. Yeah.

Bashar: All right. And so what’s the significance of this idea? How do I… I’ll ask you this: how do you express in your physical reality that you feel so good about yourself? How do you express it in life? What kind of things do you do in the world?

Asker: I enjoy sharing.

Bashar: Of what?

Asker: In what way? Of myself. Of everything that I have and I do and I share.

Bashar: Is there some way that you can in your imagination expand this sharing? Is there some way you would like to expand the sharing? Is there something you could be doing that is far more exciting than the way you’re going about doing things now? Or are you at the absolute pinnacle of your passion and joy?

Asker: No, I wouldn’t say I’m the pinnacle of it.

Bashar: Oh. All right. Then what else could you be doing that would be, in your terms, a bigger representation of expressing your joy? Um, is there a bigger way in which you could go about doing what you love to do? A grander expression?

Asker: Because like I said, I share. I… yes. But you’re not answering the question.

Bashar: I don’t know. I’m confused in that area.

Asker: Confused? Yeah.

Bashar: I see. Is there something you would like to do that you haven’t yet done that would be, to you, more exciting than what you’re doing now? Where do you think you’re going now? Where do you think you’re going? Where would you ultimately like to be?

Asker: I am doing what I enjoy doing and, like I said, that is sharing, teaching.

Bashar: Okay. So you’re doing it in all the ways that you believe it’s possible for you to do it for me to do? And there’s no bigger way that you think it can be done by you?

Asker: There might be a bigger way, but I don’t see it just yet.

Bashar: Oh. All right. It hasn’t uh, been clear to me yet. Hasn’t been clear to you? I see. All right. May I ask another question?

Asker: Thank you. I will. What are your thoughts on the issue of forgiveness?

Asker: I do that very easily.

Bashar: Do you mean forgiveness for others or for yourself or both?

Asker: For myself and for others.

Bashar: You forgive easily?

The stigmata, for some individuals—not all, for some individuals—is simply a recognition of their reflection, the idea of the World Spirit, what you might call euphemistically the Christ Consciousness.

It is simply a statement, a declaration, that you know consciously, intentionally know that you are an expression of the World Spirit, one unique facet of the multi-dimensional crystal of the collective consciousness of your planet, doing what it is it knows it needs to do to be who it knows it is.

Sometimes individuals on your planet will simply receive or give themselves a marker that simply lets them know they have crossed a certain threshold of critical mass to allow them to know that they are being, in a sense, who they need to be in that sense.

Hale-Bopp Comet and Closing Remarks

Asker: On this subject with Hale-Bopp, the window, yes. When it arrives uh, where we can all see it, how many… not all of you will see it, unless you mean the comet itself. No, that’s my question. What percentage of us will see it?

Bashar: Unknown. Very, very small percentage. Unknown. There’ll be some percentage that will see it, and they’ll be horrified by it. Other persons, other people will see it and be turned on by it. Yeah. Help their… their transition.

Asker: All right. Well, put… and so I’m… I’m just… am I supposed to do something about this? I’m trying to figure out what’s going to happen.

Bashar: Well, good luck. And you’re not going to help me at all. Huh? We don’t know.

Okay. It’s up to you to determine. All of you understand, we don’t know everything, especially with regard to the idea of certain ideas of exactly how many of you will experience a certain manifestation of transition. We don’t know that.

The ball’s in your court, as you say. It’s firmly in your hand. It’s your reality. It’s your world. It’s up to you to determine.

And many times, you will not determine it until exactly the moment in which you determine it.

So right now, this idea, this energy, doesn’t have any particular percentage of momentum behind it that lets us believe that a particular crystallization or manifestation is more likely than another. In other words, it’s in great flux right now. Therefore, we don’t know.

But we’re always excited to find out what your people do. We’re always excited to see exactly where you decide you are with it and how you decide to create your symbols of reflectivity.

Then it will teach us a lot about you and teach us a lot about ourselves, for in that sense, we have come from you. So right now, we are very excited. Very excited by the fact that we don’t know.

You see, the unknown is our friend. And we do not, in a sense, attempt to pin it down to something less than it is. When the unknown occurs to us, when it presents itself to us as the unknown, we allow it to be the unknown. For only in the unknown will we discover our true selves.

So if it were clearer to us, we would tell you. At this time, we find it is important that it remains unknown.

Asker: Okay. What date is it? Will it be visible? I wonder.

Bashar: I will simply give you what your scientists already know this: the closest approximate approach… what? Yeah. To your planet of the comet will be no accident at all: April Fool’s Day. That should tell you a lot about the idea of the chimeric and chameleon-like ability of what’s going on here.

Asker: Well, in January, it’s supposed to come from around the Sun where we can start seeing it again because it’s behind the sun now.

Bashar: I already said the closest approach of the comet, the most visible that the comet will be, will be April 1st in your upcoming new year of 1997.

Thus, that represents something important. In other words, in that it is the closest approach, than anything at all connected to it, no matter what form it is in or not in, will also be representative on that date of being the most symbolically significant.

Therefore, in the idea in your culture of April Fool’s Day being that you don’t exactly always know exactly what’s going on, that should tell you something about the very nature of this so-called object that really isn’t there.

Mhm. So if you want any clue at all, that’s your best clue. You’ve set it up for yourselves to be able to go in any direction of interpretation because that’s exactly what you do. That’s exactly what you honor in the Festival of All Fools’ Day.

Asker: Well, I’m going to get out of the stock market around January 18th, something like that.

Bashar: At this timing, we will once again express our deep appreciation in allowing these transmissions to occur in the way that they have.

We express our deep appreciation in your allowance for these transmissions upcoming in the way that they will occur. For we are now crossing a threshold together, and none of us will be who we will be when we meet next for the first time as who we are then. Read the book if you want to. Our unconditional love to you all. And by all means, remember: the spirit of any season is with you.
