Surrender

The Concept of Surrender

We began to speak about the idea of surrender. This is one of the most important and critical concepts that we can share with all of you. It is the concept that will in a sense sum up all the other tools and techniques we have discussed with you. Put them to best use by bringing them all under the umbrella of the concept of surrender.

So we will continue with this idea so that there will be enough opportunities for each and every one of you to understand how to apply how to use this idea in your lives to your benefit to create to allow profound change in a direction that is reflective of the infinite possibilities that you are.

Defining True Surrender

So you must first of all remember that when we talk about the idea of surrender, we are not talking about the idea of invalidating who you are. Rather just the opposite. We are talking about the idea of total validation of who you are, what you are, what you were created to be.

Surrender in your language in the sense that most people on your planet usually use it means that in some senses the kind of giving up that you do goes hand in hand with losing something of yourself, giving away something, giving your power over. This is not what we mean by surrender in this context.

What we mean here is the stopping, the cessation of trying to be who you think you need to be and the beginning of simply allowing yourself to be who you are. To surrender the personality game, to give up the personality game that you have been taught for many years to think you are supposed to play. And in letting that go, in giving it up, in surrendering it, then actually allowing yourself to be what you were created to be, which is in the image of the infinite, which means you are created to be unlimited possibilities.

And thus then when you surrender the limiting personality mask that prevents you from seeing that you are infinite being that you are unlimited possibilities. When you give that up you are then allowing the universe which is a mirror to reflect not just the limited personality that you think you’re supposed to be but instead to reflect the unlimited possibilities you actually are and to allow your life as we said before to become an infinite series of miraculous circumstances because that’s what you are. Miracles of creation. And as we said, remember you are creation itself. Each and every one of you, you are creation itself. You are the act of creation. You are the event of creation itself.

So to surrender to life, to surrender to creation, to surrender to the infinite, no matter by what name you wish to call it, doesn’t matter. By so doing, you are surrendering to your true nature and allowing your reality to automatically show you the miracle of creation that you are. And thus then your reality in physical linear terms can represent the miracle that you are by a continuing series of synchronicities that always support you, benefit you, allow you to experience expanded creativity and abundance.

Remember please that this is physics not just a nice idea not just pretty words. When we talk about the idea of surrendering we are talking about one of the most profound acts of love self love creation that you can do. And in so finally just letting go, just stopping all the trying, all the struggling, all the striving of what you think you’re supposed to do in order to quote unquote have what you think you’re supposed to have. When you give all that up, when you finally just get so tired of trying to be who you think you’re supposed to be and give up because you just get so tired of trying to push this that way, pull this this way and make things fit and make things fall into place and make things work. When you finally get so tired of doing all that pushing and pulling, when you finally give it all up and let go, then then the miracles happen. Then you can experience life for what it is, unlimited possibility.

So remember that when you surrender your personality, when you let go, and you give it up, you are surrendering to life. You are surrendering to the infinite. You are surrendering to your true self. You’re not losing anything. You’re not giving your power away. You are once and for all finally allowing yourself to actually be who you are, your natural self, your true self.

We will continue to work with each and every one of you in this manner and on this principle because it really is in a sense the most important most fundamental principle of all the things we have ever discussed and every other thing every other tool of technique every other idea we have ever discussed with each and every one of you will all fall under this notion of surrender. For if you do not allow yourself to be who you are, then really anything else we have discussed will not really be fully allowed to function for you, to work for you in the biggest most expansive way it possibly could. You might see little successes here and there, little glimpses here and there, but without the surrender. You’re really again only working in pieces through the personality which is limiting. And this is not what each and every one of you have said you want life to be. So let us begin day by day step by step to just let go to trust to not care so much worry so much. And again we do not mean care in the sense of no longer do you care for people. We do not mean it that way. but to stop caring and worrying so much about the things you think you’re supposed to do in the way you think you’re supposed to do them. But just let life show you who you are and let life show you how you can unfold in miraculous ways.

Questions

Fear, Politics, and Letting Go

Asker: Um, wanted to catch up on some questions probably with my personality, which means I’m not doing a good job at letting go, I guess.

Bashar: But you do not have to judge yourself. Number one. And number two, you must understand before you continue, I do not mean to judge you, but before you continue, you must understand that now that we have arrived at a discussion of surrender, anything you have to ask will need to be connected to that will need to be connected to that concept, that process, that procedure. And though you may ask whatever you wish, from this point forward, we will really not allow any of you to step, shall we say, backwards too far into the old paradigm. So some of your questions we may be able to address. Some of them we may no longer be able to address because we will now find that it is important for the timing of your planet as a collective and the timing of each and every individual on a spiritual path to face the idea of what surrender is all about. And so in your own best interests, not that we will live your life for you, but that we are simply reflecting what all of you have asked us to do. We will not let you go too far back into the past. But we’ll endeavor to keep you present and within the concept of surrender as best we can. With that in mind, do continue if you can.

Asker: Okay. Um, what can you tell us about the uh picture that came back from Mars of the uh Sphinx or what what looked like the Sphinx in the lowresolution picture, but in the supposed high resolution picture looks like uh a piece of garbage that that obviously is not a high resolution picture. What what can you tell us about?

Bashar: Well, you have in a sense your answer. You have just already stated what it is you have seen and what you have seen in many ways is obviously to some degree your answer. You are not being given accurate photos of the area in question. So in other words, they did get a clear picture of it. They’re just not releasing it. It is not even so much that they have new clear pictures, but that they are allowing the signals to be scrambled so as the pictures are not clear.

The signals that come in from your probe go through pass through a process of enhancement.

This process itself has been compromised so that they can in all truth say they have allowed the picture to come through. But what is coming true in a sense is unreadable because it is not being allowed to be clarified properly. Do you understand? And that’s being done intentionally in this instance.

Asker: Okay. Um and uh can you uh tell us if uh the UN is going to be involved as far as any kind of a representative goes when we start to become more active in the Federation of Planets, Federation of Worlds?

Bashar: One moment, repeat your question.

Asker: Uh, is the United Nations going to be involved with the Federation of Worlds?

Bashar: Not directly. Okay. There will by the time in your near future that your Earth is ready for participation with what we refer to as the association of worlds. By the time your planet is ready, what you call your United Nations will not really exist as such. There will, however, be several individuals who are at present involved with the United Nations who may also at that time be involved. Do you understand?

Asker: Mhm. But not so much exactly as the organization that you know now. Can you tell us anything more as far as uh the likelihood uh of the nuclear attack on the US?

Bashar: No. Too old paradigm. Simply not appropriate at this timing.

Asker: Okay. And do you have any idea what what Clinton is doing in China and in Africa? Why he’s going? We have some ideas. Can you share anything with us?

Bashar: No.

Asker: Is is something happening in China that… Why are you asking these kinds of questions? What is your motivation here?

Asker: Just curious.

Bashar: No, you are lying. Why are you asking these kinds of questions? What is your motivation here?

Asker: I was just just curious.

Bashar: No, you are lying. Okay. What is your motivation here? I do not mean this in a malicious way. Okay? But what you are saying is not your own truth to yourself. Why are you asking these kinds of questions? It is not just curiosity. A lot of it has to do with fear. You understand?

Asker: Uh-huh.

Bashar: The correct answer is fear. I am scared. Not I’m just curious. That’s why we say you are lying when you say I’m just curious. The correct answer is I’m afraid. Do you understand?

Asker: Uhhuh.

Bashar: Well, why are you afraid?

Asker: Well, I was I was actually on on that particular question. I was I was uh someone had asked me to ask you about that. So, I was…

Bashar: You cannot sidestep the issue. Well, I have If it was of no concern to you, you would have not asked. Why do you find yourself in the position of asking such a question at this time? Why did you take on the responsibility of transmitting such a question if you yourself found reason to be involved?

Asker: Honestly, it was just uh to the best of my conscious ability. It was just sheer curiosity that I personally had the impression.

Bashar: No. This is why it is very important for you to go below the threshold, deep below the threshold of your personality.

Because when you say in all honesty, you will find that while to a degree you feel you are being honest, you are only staying in a very thin strata of your personality.

If you go deeper, you will find that there are other issues that you are not voicing deep within you about why you are involved in these kinds of questions and coming from these kinds of perspectives.

I’m not chastising you, but I am simply helping you to understand that these kinds of questions are surface questions that usually stem from the idea of feeling out of control, feeling like you don’t know what’s going on, feeling like you are not in touch with the reality you would prefer, feeling like these other realities have some kind of power over you, and that what decisions may be made in those contexts would somehow affect what it is you prefer in your…

All these ideas stem from a psychology that is born within the thin strata of a certain level of your personality. You must go deeper and you must understand that the kind of depth we are talking about has to do with the total surrender of who you think you need to be. Asker: How how intuitive you are.

Bashar: I am only reflecting what you are really more than you think. giving off, you know, actually radiating these things quite obviously, at least to me. It really requires no intuition at all. To us, it is actually very obvious. Many of you are actually very transparent. I don’t mean this again in a negative way. You are far more transparent to us than you think. It takes no special ability to understand, as you say in your language, where you are coming from when you ask these questions.

Asker: Well, part of it is the topic I I would discuss with you that I need to let go of that I need to surrender about. There’s a subject that you’ve refused to discuss with me.

Bashar: Yes. And the refusal is because you need to let go of it. And we are helping you do that by not providing a platform or a forum for discussing it because the more you discuss it, the more you become entrenched in it. And we are helping you move away from that entrenchment. If the only way we can help you is to put the subject off limits, then that’s what we will do.

The Paradox of Surrender and Identity

Asker: The surrender thing has just been the biggest theme of my life in the last uh six or eight months.. especially the last week, it’s been like my my mantra has been surrender. Surrender.

Bashar: Guys, this will accelerate and it will need to accelerate for many of you. But again, as we have been saying for quite some time, there isn’t much time left in terms of the idea of really going into the flow and into the stream of the realities you say you prefer. This is in many ways one of the last pieces of the tools that are required. This concept of surrender that we have saved in a sense until last is as we have said the most important. So many of you will find that to be the most important thing, the most important focus now in your understanding of personal transformation and growth.

Asker: Yes. Continue. It’s like all the other tools led back led led us back to where we were able to even perceive this tool which is the…

Bashar: Yes. Exactly. The only true tool. We had to build well now not that they are not all true but we had to build a ladder for you that was composed of rungs that would go from where you are familiar to where you are unfamiliar and thus then you can make the transition in a familiar way step by step rung by rung rather than simply having started 15 of your years ago by saying all right let’s get right to the end surrender None of you would have understood what that meant. But in giving you the pieces and the other tool, now some of you have a better idea and a better understanding of what it means to surrender because you can understand finally that as powerful as many of the other tools can be, this is the most powerful because it is the simplest. And now you are finally, many of you finally getting to the point where you’re actually willing to let it be all right to be that easy. That was part of the reason why we had to give you so many other tools was actually to finally let you over time decide that you didn’t need so many tools. You understand?

Asker: Mhm. This is the paradox

Bashar: You understand? Mhm. This is the paradox of the process.

Asker: And so in my investigation into surrender, yes, um I’ve found and this is my uh phenomenal experience within my body mind stream is that yes the the only thing that keeps God separate from God in the illusion or in the physical reality stream is is actually bringing some sense of separation or some sense of darkness or some sense of of whatever that is. active and not that that is not a valid experience of course.

Asker: And my concern well concern maybe this is a mainstream fear coming up but it feels like uh that the ultimate surrender to the to give that up to give that that there’s that one grain of sand that causes the pearl to be created you know that kind of thing. Give that final thing up means I would wake up back to the I am back to the one and then of course I would be alone again and then have to come up with something else to to to get the phenomena of creation to start again. Wow. Fascinating. What an interesting idea and perspective you have.

Bashar: What you are experiencing is still mostly a personality perspective. Even though you are discussing issues of the one and the I am, you are still putting a personality spin on it. And that’s why it feels in a sense like something to fear.

Asker: Well, it also because my perspective is is from the outside of the I am and not from the inside. Once you’re inside, of course, there’s nothing to fear because you’re everything. You’re that. All right. I mean, that’s my perception. You can correct me freely.

Bashar: Um, that is nothing to correct. Um, so but it is up to you to choose which perspective you prefer.

Asker: Yeah, maybe I’m not ready to give up creation physicality.

Bashar: All right. Well, that’s your choice. But the idea is that you don’t have to give up physicality for the type of surrender that we’re talking about. You will still choose to remain physical. That is simply a different choice.

Asker: But how how can that how can that be? Because because I’m not talking about the idea in those terms. I’m not talking about you simply becoming one with the I am in that way.

Bashar: We are talking about the fact that even as even as the part of the whole that you are, you are still a reflection of the whole. And the idea is that you can experience the event of your wholeness even as a part when you surrender to the wholeness. You can still experience the wholeness as a part. I understand it.

Asker: Yes. If if you’re God and you are too.

Bashar: Yes, of course. The the God, let’s say before there was time and space, just the isness. There’s no Well, there is no before, but I understand what you’re saying.

Asker: Exactly. They’re actually the eternal moment.

Bashar: Yes. The prime radiant before it intersected with itself, so to speak. Yes. These are all conventions very much because we’re using words.

Asker: Exactly. And then words do not describe it, but can describe around it. All right. So, fair enough. And you know what? I totally forgot what I was going to ask.

Bashar: Good. Now you are enlightened. Yeah, that that’s it. That’s letting go of even in a sense.

Asker: Yes. There’s just the the fragment. There’s one fragment that I would like to to clarify from your perspective is that if ultimately we give up all of our fear and all of our pain and all of our unworthiness or whatever, which is all illusion anyway. If we are willing to surrender that, then what’s going to keep us separate from ourselves as far as the experience?

Bashar: Choice. You still have that choice. It is not a given. It is not a foregone conclusion that giving up all your pain and suffering and struggle means that you cannot still choose to experience yourself in any way, shape or form you so desire relative to the whole. But once you learn how to walk, you don’t want to crawl anymore. So all your friends, but what you are not understanding because you’re not there yet is that there are many forms of walking because you are not there yet because you’re not allowing yourself to experience the kind of surrender yet totally that we’re talking about. You have not yet given yourself the experience to understand that once you do that, there are still many forms of experiencing that kind and that level of surrender. It isn’t just one result that happens. There are still many things that exist even within that level of surrender. It is still very very multi-dimensional and very varied. But it is still of a type of reality. It is more simply the idea of a big step up but not necessarily all the way because you are surrendering from a particular point of view and that point of view you will probably not necessarily choose to give up the overall point of view.

Take up the form here for half an hour.

Well, you’re not. And beside which we are the determiner of the timing. So don’t worry about it. You follow me. What you call God is everyone. And everyone does not experience the same God because everyone is not the same. But everyone who is not the same altogether makes up the same God.

Asker: Everyone wakes up are the same God.

Bashar: Yes. But you are forgetting that it is this and that. Not this or that.

Asker: Yes.

Bashar: And therefore when you wake up and understand that it is all one, you understand simultaneously that it is also everything. And you experience both, not just one or the other. There’s not an issue of one or the other. How can you experience both unless you’re willing to give up the I am perspective. You have to in order to experience the other. But when you give up the I am, paradoxically, you experience the I am and everything. That’s the paradox. You experience the I am. You experience both of those.

Asker: Yes. How can that be?

Bashar: You will find out when you have a coin in your hand. Do you not experience both sides? Do you not experience the heads and the tails?

Asker: I’m just reading the coin. From the coin’s perspective, there’s not both.

Bashar: Never mind. The coin is your perspective because you’re creating the coin. Do not get lost in your semantics. When you have a coin, do you not have both heads and tails? Otherwise, if you didn’t, you wouldn’t have a coin, would you? Well, then why is it so mysterious that you can experience both?

Asker: You’re describing a third density example. Don’t put semantics on it. It’s the same concept. Okay. I’ll have faith and trust that you’re…

Bashar: You don’t have to have faith. When you let go, you’ll find out from experience that it’s so. Yes. You are that all the time. You don’t feel connected to it all the time. You are that and you are this and you are everything you can think of. But the idea is still that we are talking about a level of you experiencing that you are unlimited possibility but from within a certain contextual framework because that’s what you’re choosing to experience your I amness as right now. You are coming from an assumption that once you let go of the personality that you’re going to want in a sense to not have any recognition of what you are calling separation. That is a falsehood because as you expand you become more aware of the one and the many. You will want more experience of the separation that is created as well as more experience of the oneness. and you’ll be able to experience both.

Asker: There’s the fear that I will end up back in the uh paradigm that I’m in now, though.

Bashar: Well, then you must be choosing that reality for some reason that you’ve invented.

Asker: Yeah. That’s the only thing the fear would be. Do you know what I’m saying though? Like I don’t want to fall back asleep again.

Bashar: And all right, but again remember at this stage in your evolution all of you, there is no concept of falling back. Again, the analogy would be like being on one mountain peak and saying that somehow you can fall to the other mountain peak. You can’t do it. You have to choose to go to the other mountain peak. You can’t fall back onto another mountain peak. It’s a different reality. It’s a different point of view completely and utterly. This notion that you can fall back is something that you are simply holding on to for your own reason probably again mostly because as you say you are afraid but you have created a circular reality experience. Then your fear is generating the idea that you can fall back. The idea that you can fall back is generating the fear. Break the cycle by knowing that you have generated it to begin with and that any other idea that you allow yourself to believe is true will be just as experientially real as the cycle you find yourself in right now.

Addiction, Intuition, and Physical Creation

Asker: This feeling loveydovey I’ve been getting lately. Um guys, boy, I’m ex even if it took me 4 hours to drive here tonight, I’m so relieved to hear you speak more about letting go of the personality and surrender in a positive con context.

My back pages reference to it um if this is allowed is um from some old young readings on the puer and the puella the puis and the puella eterna such that there’s um a slowing down or a fall that occurs in midlife in kind of a negative sense and I thought that’s what I had been going through in the last few weeks because Um, but now you can turn that around with this new understanding.

Yeah. I there’s a personality that I use with children, with horses, and even within that depending upon how I’m trying to shape the particular energy. Yes. Um, I I recognize the various personalities I’ve been using. All right.

And I’m very tired right now. And I would like to know who I am outside of that.

Also um anytime you find yourself being tired in the way that you may be saying if it is not just simple physical tiredness.

Asker: No. Well, it is physical. I work myself because I’m an alcoholic. I work myself into an alcoholic state of exhaustion like they call it workcoholism.

Bashar: All right. But again, the idea therefore then comes from the resistance to the natural self and that’s what actually makes you tired.

Asker: Okay. The other thing I’ve noticed, um, I’ve been working with some of the bits of John’s conversations, um, because I knew I was missing something. It’s been very helpful to me. Even if you aren’t understanding everything, I’m not either, but it’s very often individuals will be very very capable of helping others even when they are lost in the dark. Okay. You somebody had mentioned Noense. No, Anton. Yeah. Also, another piece of the puzzle with was uh Antinette bringing up uh the sugar addiction. Nice. And this all ties in um I I use my intuition like a drug to figure things out. Yes. And I realize I it has it’s you had said I think it’s connected into the sinus area. Yes. And I think that that’s also connected into the um the dopamine trigger to some degree.

Bashar: Yes. Okay. Bill Moyers did a special on TV about addiction, guys. And they’ve traced the difference in the brain pathways of addicts. Guys, I don’t know. They mentioned the medulla and the anterior singular. However, please remember, yeah, all of this is after the fact of the consciousness. And when we talk about the idea of addiction, we recognize that all those kinds of things do exist in your physiological structures. And you can work it backward through those pathways to understand how to allow these ideas to change. But first and foremost, these kinds of pathways are set up because of the view that the consciousness has of itself that then creates or propagates the pathways you’re talking about. Those things don’t cause it initially, but they can perpetuate the state once the consciousness has decided that that’s what it wants to be. This is why when we talk about the idea of addiction and how to transform it what we refer to as the 13th step we always talk about the idea of being so in the present that you know that the person you’re defining yourself to be now is a completely different person than the person who has the addiction. And thus the person you are now can have absolutely no common history with the person who has the addiction and thus experience no effects from that other person when they do not make a connection. Okay.

Asker: In in realizing that I have been addicted to intuiting in order to know I want to stop all right knowing. So I have to stop intuiting and identifying myself with that.

Bashar: Uh you don’t have to stop allowing your intuition to function.

Asker: Well, it’s a physiological experience the the intuiting and it’s very it’s very primal but it’s also very pleasurable too. I realized and you don’t have to completely stop it but you just have to understand how to use it in context with a different personality when you allow yourself to be more of who you naturally are.

Bashar: Yeah. I’m almost then the intuiting will come in a natural way that will not put you back into the old cycle of the old personality.

Asker: I’m almost ashamed of it. And I’m wondering,

Bashar: you don’t have to be also that’s a judgment if in making. Do you follow what I’m saying? That’s a judgment and it throws you back into the old cycle. You don’t have to be ashamed of it, but I can understand that you recognize it’s not something that is representative of who you naturally are.

Asker: There’s there’s an experience and this I think has happened in a group level with what the president went through in the last few weeks of revulsion. Is that part of the surrendering?

Bashar: In some senses you can use it that way.

Asker: Yeah. I created an experience um of of revulsion also that can I talk about that only briefly because we can sense that your energy is actually going into too much detail.

Bashar: The idea is to keep you all in the present with the concept of surrender and to understand that the act of surrender does not require you can do it if you want but you’ll make it take longer but it does not require this kind of analysis.

Asker: Okay. I I put together the pieces of a plan to find this horse named Ellie that I have not seen for one year. And the plan either fell apart or the owner of the horse who I believe is past life confederate energy. Then we will stop you there.

Bashar: Okay. So the idea I’ve surrendered to is to get back to simply surrendering and surrendering is an unconditional act which means you let go of any idea of possible outcome in any particular direction when you surrender. I did that and then I felt a connection. Now you must do it again. If you did it that’s fine but now you must do it because this is what you say you want to do. Just let it go. Just let it go.

Asker: Okay, I’ve done that. Now, as far as what John was talking about, yeah, I I was with I guess this happened because I’m closest to Well, forget that idea. I was with I was It is forgotten. I was with my horse, guys. You had said and I looked at him and I remembered that you had said that our looking our p our our perceiving of phys of physical reality would change. I was with my horse and I looked at him one morning and I saw that he was my energy and I didn’t know where I thought because of my old intuitive pattern I had to take this somewhere and I it I didn’t lose a connection like that but it did kind of fade when you thought you had to take it somewhere.

Bashar: Yes. And um instead of just being in it it was it was good.

Asker: All right. It was good. So you have learned from that perspective. I could still I was still me but I was part of yes the horse and I were and here is the point that you have brought up that is a very good point to have brought up especially in that you are making a connection to John because the idea and perhaps this will help clarify some of what you are talking about in terms of being confused about experiencing yourself as yourself and experiencing yourself as the I am or experiencing the I am and not yourself and that is is again paradoxically when you totally surrender and you become the I am, you only experience the I am as yourself because you are the I am from a particular point of view. So when everything falls away, you don’t fall away because you are all there is. Does that make more sense?

Asker: become. No, you can because again remember when you become listen when you become the total I am you are and have everything. Do you follow? And you can experience the everything that you are.

Bashar: We know the things are not really but they are because you make them. So it’s like a special moment.

Asker: Nice. The way you gaze upon something, it’s just like a special moment. John, it’s not like you stop being John. You know, like at the end of the movie when everybody’s feeling love for the character, for each other, you just feel it on a heightened different level, but you’re still John.

Bashar: In a sense, yes and in a sense, no. Because when you allow yourself to be immersed in that sensation of being, you do both forget in a sense who and what and where you are while simultaneously you actually have a greater sense of who and what and where you are.

Asker: No, but the but the you must experience it to understand the because you’re aware that your old viewpoint has fallen away. You feel this gratitude for being able to give it is a humbling humbling experience to finally allow yourself to let in the full unconditional love of All-That-Is because I I I did not continue to maintain that heightened awareness. I I shouldn’t feel bad. I mean, I don’t I’ve surrendered to the fact that there is no reason to feel bad unless you want to invent one, but that’s up to you. And then and then can one more thing briefly.

Bashar: Okay, briefly.

Asker: I have been visiting my horse twice a day and it made me crazy like a week ago and I thought this is my brain pattern and I can’t go on doing this. And boom, I was given notice that I would have to move the horse by the 20th. And I really stretched and I’m moving him maybe this weekend. And I’m so happy about it.

Bashar: Congratulations allowing yourself to reap the benefits of remaining in the moment as much as possible.

Asker: Even if if I visit him twice a day, it’s a new scene and I’m really excited about it. And thank you for helping me to co-create it, for helping yourself.
