Excitement and Manifesting Your Dreams in the 21st Century

Bashar: You wish us today to speak about the idea of excitement in your 21st century and manifesting your dream.

why is it so important to talk about the idea of excitement. First of all, let us make sure you are all comfortable. Can you all hear well enough, or do you need the speakers to be louder? You’re all hearing? All right, they are nodding. All right then, let us begin with a reminder for some and new information for others of what is so important about the idea of excitement.

Definition of Excitement

Perhaps our definition of excitement will also explain why it is so important. Many people on your planet understand that it is a good thing to be happy, a good thing to be excited—it feels good—but they may not understand exactly how important that experience is.

It is important for the following reason. Here is the definition: Excitement is the physical experience of your highest, most true frequency of energy. This is also synonymous with the idea of unconditional love, but we are speaking about that particular physical sensation that allows you to feel very energized. It is the frequency of energy within you that allows you to know you are most harmoniously aligned with your true, natural self.

This is why it is so important in realizing your dreams to always follow the path of highest excitement.

Finding Your Path

Many people on your planet wonder, “What is my path? What is my purpose in life?” And when they talk about this idea of path and purpose, they are usually talking about what kind of thing can I do, or what job can I find, or how can I express my path. There are many, many, many different ways that you can express your path and your purpose in life.

But people wonder, “Well, what is the best one for me? What is my destiny?” So we would like to remind you at this moment that your path, your purpose, your destiny can actually be expressed in many different ways throughout the course of your entire lifetime. Your fundamental, basic purpose in life is to really just be who you are as fully as you possibly can be.

Everyone exists for a reason. There are no accidents in creation. Creation did not make pointless creations that have no purpose. Everything and everyone that exists has a reason for existing and fits in with everything else that exists.

But the idea of discovering your purpose and your destiny is really the process of discovering who you are. What is the natural state of your being? Excitement is the tool, is the beacon, the guiding light that allows you to stay aligned with your natural true self. It is the energy that will allow you to discover most easily who you are, what your purpose for being is.

Helping Others by Being Your True Self

Though you may not always immediately understand how it is working, if you remain within the idea of excitement in everything that you do, you will not only have an ecstatic life yourself, you will most beneficially help others as well. For only by being your true self and being in your full power are you then really capable of supporting everyone else and supporting the whole of creation.

If you are not being your true self, it is more difficult for you to be of assistance or help to anyone else. Now of course, fundamentally you are always being of service to everyone around you just by being in existence. But if you are not living your joy, if you are struggling and suffering, then all you’re really reflecting to other people is the experience of struggling and suffering.

It is certainly possible for other people to look at you when you are struggling and suffering and still learn something positive for themselves, and in that way you may still be able to help them even while you are suffering. But the point is, there really is no reason why you should have to struggle and suffer in order to be of benefit to others and yourself.

The 21st Century Shift

We are not saying that your life will no longer contain challenges. But challenge is good. Attracting challenges in your life, puzzles to figure out, will stretch you both in the idea of mind and in the idea of spirit. But you have all arrived at a place now in your history—what you now refer to as the 21st century—where suffering and struggling is no longer necessary for you to learn your lesson in life.

You have spent as a species thousands and thousands of years feeling like you are in the dark, struggling and suffering and in conflict. But now at this point in your history, you have experienced and played out almost every possible negative suffering scenario imaginable on your planet. There are almost no more negative scenarios left to experience. Throughout many different lifetimes, you have all lived every kind of negative scenario imaginable.

The reason that you are seeing so much accelerated conflict on your planet at this time in certain areas is because you are now attempting to bring all of that up to the surface and get it out of your system. You are doing this now faster and faster and faster, getting it all out in the open so that you can all look at what is going on in the world and finally decide: “Is this the way we prefer the world to be from this point forward, or do we prefer something different, something harmonious and joyful?”

While there are still many people on your planet playing out the last remnants of the idea of negative scenarios, there are also now many, many more people on your planet starting to look around and say, “We can do something in a different way—a new way, a joyful and creative way.”

But because people are coming out of old patterns, old habits, old ideas, sometimes even though they know they want to do something in a new way, they may be puzzled as to exactly how to go about it because it’s such a new idea. In fact, the old ideas are sometimes so strong to you that many people on your planet even have difficulty imagining what a life of joy and creativity would really be like. Some people on your planet even have trouble imagining what a whole planet functioning in harmony would be like.

Transforming Old Beliefs

So one of the most important things we must discuss today is not only the idea of acting on your excitement to fulfill your purpose, but also really strongly understanding how to get in touch with old beliefs and transform them so that you know beyond a doubt that it is possible to live a life of joy and creativity.

Please understand that these things we will be discussing in this communication today really are powerful energy tools of change. They’re not just nice sounding ideas—they actually have power when you use them properly. Many people on your planet who are interested in what you call your New Age movement or age of spirituality constantly talk about the idea of how it would be nice if this would change or that would change, but they don’t really have a fundamental understanding of the necessary tool that allows the change to happen and be permanent.

This is why it is so important to us to share with you ideas that you can take with you from this communication and use in your everyday life to really make the changes you want, and know that the changes will stick, that they will last, and you can make more changes when you want to.

The Belief System

Understanding Beliefs

Let us begin with a discussion of understanding what beliefs are all about and how your beliefs create your reality, so that you can then create the reality you prefer. Some of you have heard these ideas from us before, but we will take them to greater detail and depth in this communication so that you can really lock them in and use them and make them your own.

Many of you are becoming more familiar with the idea that you create your reality and that this happens through your belief system. But still, many of you have not really made it your own. You don’t breathe it every moment of every day. It’s not yet feeling completely natural for you to live this way. So let us work together so that you can really make this your own understanding of the idea, and you can begin to use it automatically without even thinking.

One of the reasons why it will become more and more automatic is because the more you do it, the better you will feel, and the more you will want to continue to feel that way. And the more you use these tools and the more automatic that state of excitement becomes, pretty soon there will come a time when you can no longer imagine living any other way. You will look at your life in the past when perhaps you felt you were struggling and suffering, and that will seem to be a far distant dream that has nothing to do with who you are anymore.

Then you can truly awake, live your life to the fullest in joy and ecstasy.

The Structure of Personality

So before we talk specifically about the energy of excitement, let’s talk now about the idea of the belief system within your personality. Let us begin with the basics.

You are an unbroken consciousness. You are one—one spirit. But when you choose to experience the idea of physical reality, then certain things have to be created in order for your spirit to have that experience. You must create what is called the physical personality.

This is similar to the idea of when you want to go scuba diving, you must bring certain apparatus with you, such as a diving suit and a breathing apparatus and a mask to be able to see clearly underwater. So as a metaphor, there is your spirit hovering above physical reality, just like a diver would hover above the surface of the water, looking down into it, wondering, “I wonder what’s down there.”

And so the spirit, looking into physical reality saying, “I wonder what’s down there—I think I’ll go see,” must then create the proper tools to be able to function down in physical reality vibration, which is a little bit lower than the spiritual level in frequency.

Now of course, from time to time, spirits can pay short visits to physical reality, but this is the same idea as simply jumping in the water without scuba equipment and holding your breath for a while before you come back up. But in order to really stay down there and explore for a long time, you have to have the breathing equipment, the proper equipment to be able to see and appreciate what is going on under the water.

Just as water is denser than air, the vibration of physical reality is in a sense denser or thicker than non-physical spirit reality. And just as you move more slowly in water than you do in air, things move a little bit more slowly in physical reality than they do in spirit because the vibration is lower. The spirit must lower its frequency down into a slower vibration of time and space, and in order to explore time and space physical reality for a long time, you must create the proper apparatus—that is the body and the personality.

The Three Components

The personality structure has three main components:

1. Beliefs — definitions that you are taught to believe are true about reality. It is very important how that is phrased. We are not saying that beliefs are true representations of reality. We are simply saying beliefs are what you have been taught to believe are true representations of reality. Without a belief or a definition of reality, you cannot experience physical reality. Conversely, everything that you do experience of physical reality stems from what you believe or define to be most true about physical reality.

2. Emotions — literally energy in motion. All emotions must come from beliefs. In other words, you have to have a belief about something before you can actually feel a certain way about that thing. If you don’t have a definition of something, if you don’t believe something to be true in a certain way, then you don’t actually have a feeling about that thing—or not very much of one. So all of the feelings that you experience in life stem from a definition that exists within your personality first.

3. Thoughts — your mental side. All thoughts in a sense stem from the emotions, which stem from the beliefs. In some senses, thoughts can also generate more directly from beliefs as well, but they usually come through the emotional component at the same time.

Together, these three components form a triangular structure: belief, emotion, and thought patterns. All together, these three components then determine behavior—action.

The House Analogy

Let’s use the analogy of a house. You’re going to build a house—that is your physical reality that you prefer, that’s your dream. Belief is the blueprint of the house. Emotion are the builders of the house. Thought patterns are the building materials that you are using.

So you can understand that the quality, the precision of the blueprint is important; the quality of the builders is important; and the quality of the building materials is important in order to have a high quality house. If the blueprint is not well drawn, if the builders are lazy, if the building material is rotting and falling apart, the house will not stand—it will collapse. But if the blueprints are well drawn and the builders are energetic and the building material is first class, the house will be beautiful and stand for a long time.

Belief as Equation

Belief is like an equation—like a mathematical equation. This equals that. So when you have a certain belief, what you are doing is creating a certain formula for the kind of reality you say it is most likely you will experience.

Here is one that is very popular on your planet: “Success is difficult.” That’s the equation. Success equals difficulty. If you have been taught to believe that it is difficult to create success in your life, then you will constantly create patterns and situations that prove the equation.

You hear mathematicians talking all the time about finding proofs for their equations. Well, that’s what life is. Life—the reality you experience—is the proof of the equation you have in your belief system. This is why it is so important to understand what physical reality is in terms of reflecting your beliefs to you, because physical reality is just a mirror reflecting to you your strongest beliefs about what you think is true, reflecting your strongest beliefs back to you about what you believe is possible for you.

Physical Reality as a Mirror

This is how to use your life and the circumstances that happen in your life in a positive way, to put you in touch with your belief. Physical reality is very much like literally a mirror. So if you are having a sad life or a sad situation, it’s because it’s reflecting back the sadness that you are putting out.

It’s just like the mirror that you look at yourself in in the morning. If you see a sad expression on the face in the mirror, you don’t try to touch the face in the mirror and make the reflection smile. You know you cannot change the expression in the mirror out there. You know the only way to change the expression in the mirror is to change the expression on your face first.

Because physical reality is literally a mirror, it works the same way. If you see something out there that you don’t prefer, you cannot really force it to change by working outside yourself. You have to change what’s inside in order to see a change outside, because outside doesn’t really exist—it’s an illusion, a reflection.

Just as you know the person you see in the mirror isn’t really over there—all the light is going to the mirror and bouncing back to show you the person in the mirror is really here—so when people on your planet project their problems onto other people or blame other situations for being responsible for how they feel, that’s not really where it’s coming from. It’s coming from here.

But this is the beauty of physical reality functioning like a mirror, because it always turns you back to yourself. If something is going on in your life that’s not the way you prefer it to be, then physical reality is beautifully showing you there is something you need to change in your belief system in order to make the change happen out there.

Identifying Your Beliefs

The first level to always check is the belief system. You must find the equation—how the equation is written that would create that kind of an effect in your life. The way to do this is simply by asking yourself the following question:

“What would I need to believe in order to experience what is going on out here in my physical life?”

Again, please remember there’s a difference between the idea of struggling and suffering and simply experiencing a challenge that is exciting. Challenge is positive; suffering is negative. So make sure first of all that you’re not just referring to the idea of challenge. You will always have challenge because challenge helps you stretch and grow. But when you stay in positive belief, the challenges will also be exciting.

But if you find yourself struggling and suffering as you unfold your life, then let your life reflect to you that there must be an equation within your belief system that says life must be a struggle.

The Neutralization Technique

When you discover what the equation is, then you can move to step two. Step one is finding out what the belief is—what the equation is, such as “success is difficult.”

Once you have identified the equation, the belief, the definition, something very magical happens. Perhaps for a long time in your life, this definition that has been unconscious within you has felt very powerful because the struggle in your life feels very real and very powerful. And one of the reasons sometimes that it may seem difficult to change is that when you do hold on to a belief, it generates energy, it generates power.

But here is the thing that is powerful and magical about identifying the belief: As soon as you are aware of what the belief is, as soon as you have identified it, the belief now becomes neutral. It has no more power.

You do not have to do anything extra or anything special in order to depower or turn off that old belief. Identifying it is enough to switch it off and make it neutral. So now you can understand that belief has no more power at all right at that moment when you are holding it there in your thoughts and you are aware of what it is. Any tendencies or habits that were connected to that belief have now been neutralized.

The Habit Paradox

If you keep doing the same thing from that point forward, it’s not because it’s a habit—it’s because you are now choosing to do that again. Because remember, a habit is something you do that you don’t know you’re doing. Once you know you have the habit, you don’t have it anymore.

People on your planet have been taught to believe that when they discover they have a particular habit, then they think they are just at the beginning of a process that they have to figure out in order to change that habit. But it’s just the opposite. The recognition that you have a habit is the end of the process. At the moment you realize you have the habit, in that moment you do not have the habit.

So just like the belief system—you’ve identified the belief, it is now neutral. You no longer have that belief. It’s unplugged.

Remember this: Identification equals neutralization.

Replacing the Belief

All right, so now this belief—our example “success is difficult”—has now been neutralized. It’s just floating there in your imagination doing nothing. So what’s the next step?

The next step is to create a new belief equation to replace the old one with a new equation. So let’s use a new example. The new example might be “success is effortless.” If that is the equation you prefer, and you can take time testing out different ones until you find one that feels very exciting, feels just right.

Once you have found it—let’s say again, for example, “success is effortless”—then in your imagination, see the two equations next to each other. Right now they’re both neutral. On one hand you can see the equation “success is difficult,” on the other hand you see the equation “success is effortless.”

Now see yourself literally unplugging the old equation, as if it were stuck in some kind of prong or plug. Unplug it from your personality. Put it in your box of equations that you are no longer using. It’s like replacing an old light bulb. You have unscrewed the old equation because it’s burning you out. Throw it in the recycling bin to be smashed and recycled into something more positive.

Take the new clean light bulb of your fresh new equation—“success is effortless”—screw it into the socket, then flip the switch on and watch it light up. It’s now in place. Feel your energy begin to rise as you put more emotion and energy into the fact that you love this new equation. You become excited about the fact that you now have this new beautiful equation and you no longer have the old one. Now you know the new equation is in place, it’s turned on, and it’s shining brightly.

Acting on Your Excitement

The next step then is to look around at your life and, out of all the things that you are capable of doing at that moment, to pick the one that has the highest degree of excitement. Because the thing now out there that has the highest degree of excitement for you is showing you that your new belief equation is shining like a spotlight right on that thing.

The new equation was created and energized and activated by your excitement. It now is the vibration that will show you, link you to all other excitement in your life, and show you the way to go.

And as soon as you have changed that belief, you will also feel the effect cascading down, reverberating through your entire personality structure. The emotions will change, the thought patterns will change, your behavior—your actions—will change, all from the change of that one little negative belief.

Then as you take action in that way with the new personality structure, your life will reflect that total change to you.

The Paradox of External Change

Do Not Fall into Judgment and Expectation

However, do not fall into the negative belief trap called judgment and expectation. What this means is as follows: Many people will go, “Well, I’ve changed my belief but I don’t see anything outside in my life really changing. It doesn’t look any different.”

Once again, understand the nature of physical reality. All circumstances and situations in physical reality are fundamentally neutral. They do not have built-in meaning. A particular situation can create a positive or a negative effect. Any situation can actually create either a positive or a negative effect. The effect that you get out of any given situation is completely determined by the energy you put into it.

If you put positive energy into it, if you understand that the situation is there for a positive reason, you will only get a positive effect from it, no matter how it looks.

So let us say you have come out of a situation that you were feeling a negative effect from, and then you change your belief about that circumstance and situation. Then you go back into the situation, but on the surface nothing looks like it’s changed. Do not despair and say, “Oh, nothing out here changed. That must mean I didn’t really change my belief.”

It’s how you behave toward the situation that determines that your belief has changed—not what the situation looks like on the surface. When you trust, when you know you have changed your belief and you act differently within the situation, then even though the situation may look the same, you will get a different effect from the situation.

The Testing Paradox

It is quite possible that the exterior situation may change its appearance to reflect the change within you, but it may not. You have to remain true within yourself to know you have changed and act like you know you have changed, and then you will get a different experience out of the very same situation.

And here is the paradox, here is the irony in this idea: If you look at the situation outside and say, “That means I haven’t changed because it didn’t change,” then you haven’t changed. In other words, if you’re still relying on outward appearances to decide whether or not you have changed, then you really haven’t changed, and it is reflecting an accurate picture to you.

But when you know you have changed and you accept that even though the thing may look the same you still believe you have changed, then you give the situation the greatest possibility of actually changing its outward appearance. But first, it’s almost like you are testing yourself to see if you really believe you have changed by being given exactly the same situation again to see if you’re going to act differently toward it.

So when you do behave differently toward it and get a different effect from it, then you have proved to yourself that you have changed, and then the outward situation may change its appearance to suit the true change that you now know exists within you.

But as long as you wait for your outer reality to change in order to believe that you have really changed, then you haven’t really changed.

Summary of the Belief Transformation Process

So it really is this simple:

Use what is happening in your reality to show you what kind of a belief you would have to have in order to generate that kind of reality.
Identify the negative belief you have had, like it’s an equation.
Know that at that moment you have identified it, it has lost its power—it’s neutral.
Create a new definition—take out the old definition, put in the new definition.
Energize the new definition with your excitement that there is a new definition.
Look out into your life and see what it is that excites you the most, and take action on that every single time.
Whenever you run into what seems to be another fear, another obstacle, do this technique over again and find out what that belief is that you don’t prefer.

The more you practice this technique, the faster you will be able to transform your beliefs. It will become eventually automatic. You’ll be able to identify negative beliefs very quickly, just make them disappear automatically, replace them, move on.

All the while knowing: This is who I am. This is what I prefer to be, because I deserve unconditional love, and my reality is full of magic.

Why Can I Believe This?

Because creation has given me the power and the right to determine, to choose what is right for me, and nothing and no one has the power to change that but me. That is the gift of unconditional love that I have been given from creation.

Creation loves me so unconditionally that it will even allow me to believe that I am not loved. Creation will allow me to believe that I am not loved—it will even allow me to choose that belief. That’s how much creation loves me unconditionally. It will support me whatever I choose to believe, even if I choose to believe I am not loved, it will still support me—it will actually allow me to have that belief.

So if creation is so unconditionally loving that it would actually allow me to have the belief I’m not loved, then I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it will support me if I choose to believe that I am unconditionally loved.

So when I choose to say, “I am unconditionally loved, my life is effortless, my life is magic, my life is creative and exciting,” it allows me to choose that and will completely support me in that choice.

Living from Your True Vibration

And when you really know that you are free, and your personality construct is completely in harmony and balance, and you understand the big picture of how everything works together in harmony, and the light that shines brightest in your life are the things that contain the highest love, the highest joy, the highest excitement—and you will understand that that is your true vibration, the vibration from which you were created.

And so that vibration in you will attract all other such similar circumstances and situations and vibrations in your life. Acting on your excitement at any given moment to the highest degree you are able to act on it is fulfilling your purpose and your destiny in life. Whatever way that chooses to express itself creatively is completely up to you, because that is the gift you have been given from all that is.

The 21st Century: Future Visions

Now let us talk a little bit about some of the ideas of the kinds of dreams that will manifest in your 21st century that you can participate in.

Information and Communication

A very important area that is going to be expanding is the idea of information. So many more of you are going to allow yourselves to find new and exciting ways to receive and share information about so many different things. Whole new companies will come into existence just for the sole purpose of being able to collect and share information.

The idea of your so-called internet is the infant version of this idea. Eventually, any information available to anyone will be available to everyone everywhere at any time. You could be on top of the highest mountain all by yourself, you could be at the bottom of the deepest ocean all by yourself, but you will invent techniques in order to be able to tap in to know anything you need to know at that time, at that place, no matter where or when you are.

You will be able to figure out how to allow the entire planet itself to become one internet. You can be connected to it all the time if you wish, or you’ll be able to be private and alone if you wish.

Communication will also expand in understanding. You will begin to understand the vibrational frequency of different states of consciousness—not only within yourself as an individual, but with all forms of life. You will truly learn how to carry on conversations with animals, plants, rocks—anything that exists on your planet. You will understand that you are in a constant relationship with all these things, having a constant communication and conversation with everything in your world and the universe.

Beyond the idea of just information, it will be the idea of communication and relationship with all things.

Education

The areas that will benefit from this will be many, especially the notion of education. The education of your children and yourselves will become much more experiential. You will not just sit and listen—you will do and learn.

Whole environments will be created to give you experiences in which you can learn new things with all of your senses, because when you are given a real experience, then you learn more, retain more of that information, and can apply more of that information into your life.

Experiential education will expand on your planet—the creation of new stories in new ways. More the idea of being in a play to read a story rather than just having it read to you. You will take parts and become the story, acting it out. You can become in a sense everything in the play.

The Atlantean Teaching Technique

An ancient technique in Atlantean times was as follows: In order to teach children, they were put in what you would call a more hypnotic state with the beating of a drum. The beating of the drum matched their heartbeat. The beating of the drum was slowed down so that the heartbeat would follow and slow down. Once they were in this trance-like state, then they were shown different objects and in this trance-like state, they were told that they were the object itself.

They were told that they were the sail of a ship or the whole ship. They were told that they were a specific crystal or a specific animal. They were told they were this animal and asked then to feel, “What is it like to be this rock or be this animal?” And thus, by playing this part, they would learn about this thing by actually being it and knowing everything that they needed to know about it.

So by playing out the story and being the characters and being everything in the story, you will learn more about everything and everyone in the story and live it. You will absorb the knowledge of the story into the cellular structure of your body, and it will be easier for you to apply the lessons of the story in life because they will have become a part of you.

Trusting Your Imagination

As each and every one of you individually from this point forward follows and acts on your highest excitement, you may find yourself being attracted to creating new ways, new companies, new techniques, new projects that are similar to some of the things we are describing here.

You will learn to trust that your imagination, when you act on your excitement, will bring you everything you need to understand in order to know how to create these things and help the world change. You must trust that your imagination will always bring you the best technique that will work for you in terms of how to act in the direction of your excitement.

The Simulation Technique

Creating Your Reality Environment

One of the most powerful ways to manifest your dream is connected to what we have just talked about, and that is immersing yourself in a full representation, a full environment that represents the reality you would prefer.

So when there is a reality that you would like to create that doesn’t yet exist, one very strong and powerful technique you can use is to simulate it as close as possible.

What this means is as follows: If there is a place on your planet that is more representative of your joy, more representative of the environment that would exist in the place where you would do this exciting thing, it would be better if you would actually be in that place.

If for some reason you find that there is no opportunity presenting itself to you to actually travel to that different location that is more representative of your joy, then you must simulate it where you are as closely as possible. Create the environment as closely as possible around you so that you can practice being in that reality.

The Example of the Company President

If you imagine in your highest excitement that you are going to be the president of a very powerful and creative company, and you see in your imagination that when you are the president of this company you are sitting in your office behind this beautiful desk in this very big comfortable chair like this, but when you are at your house or apartment you are sitting in a not-so-comfortable chair at a little desk like this—then your body energy, your body language is not the same as the body language in your dream.

Every little orchestration of energy counts. If you can create a room in your house or apartment to look like the office of the president, you will be in all the ways you can, and then you will be creating that reality more solidly.

Because when you are the president of that very exciting company, your body language will be very different perhaps than the body language that you exhibit now on a day-to-day basis. You must change all of your energy representation to be as close as possible to the way you say you want to actually be when you see yourself living your dream.

The Example of the Actor

If your dream is to become a very famous actor beautifully delivering plays on stage, then find a stage and go on the stage and go through the motions and act out the play and see the audience before you in the seats. The more people you can ask to help you run through the practice version, the more real it will become.

If you can get people to act with you on the stage, then invite them to do so if they would find that exciting. If you can get people to be the audience watching the play and they are excited to sit in the seats and do that, then invite them to do so.

Get as close as you possibly can to the end picture—the big picture. If you cannot find enough people willing to act on stage or sit in the audience with you, make cardboard cutouts of people and put them there, because it will make a difference to your body language if you are actually acting with and acting for something that your eye goes to.

Do not put limits on your imagination. Get as close as you possibly can to simulating the dream you say you want to live, and practice it and practice it and practice it, and make changes if the changes are more exciting.

That energy will radiate out into the world and attract to you all the circumstances, situations, and opportunities that will allow it to come to pass—to come into reality in the easiest possible way.

How Opportunities Will Come

But these opportunities will come in the form that represents your highest excitement. They may not appear to be connected to the dream, but if they contain the highest excitement and you have the greatest ability to act on them, that’s what lets you know it is connected.

First Question Session

Question 1: Tests and Trials

Questioner: Good day. Before I ask a question, by the way, this city, Kori, means “door of God” in Japanese characters, so I would like to welcome you to this sacred place. I’m a little bit nervous. If I choose inappropriate words, please allow me.

In this so-called metaphysical activities, people often say that even when we change negative beliefs, we tend to receive some trial, a test from the universe. And I myself have an experience that I changed my negative belief and I was sure that I changed the belief, but people say you may receive a test or you haven’t changed. So I tend to lose my self-confidence even though I was trying to ask you a question. But as I talk, I think I found the answer already. But I would like to confirm with you again that there is no such thing like a test or trial.

Bashar: Thank you very good. The idea is what we have discussed earlier in our talk. We mentioned earlier that when you change your belief, you will sometimes give yourself a test. It isn’t coming from the universe, and it isn’t really even a test. You are just making sure that you actually have the conviction of the new belief.

The so-called test that many people make for themselves is to then go into a similar situation than they experienced before, just to see if they act differently, to know that they really have changed. Perhaps in the spirit of the idea that you are discovering for yourself, let’s not call it a test so much as an opportunity to see that you really have changed your belief. It’s an opportunity to practice what you say you have changed into. But people are doing that to themselves—it’s not coming from anywhere else in the universe.

Questioner: Is this what you pretty much figured out on your own?

Bashar: Not really. What did you figure out?

Questioner: As I listened to your lecture communication, I came to be a certain state that there is no such thing like a test.

Bashar: Yes, this is what I just said. I said it’s not really a test—it’s an opportunity to practice what you say you now believe. Do you see the difference? Does that then align more with what you understood? There really are no tests in that sense. You are creating your own reality and you are giving yourself an opportunity to decide at any given moment whether you really believe you are who you say you are. That’s all that’s happening.

Question 2: Resistance to Self-Love

Questioner: Hello, good day. My question is I feel such a strong resistance to love myself. I’m in that state—you are still resisting loving yourself, is that what you are saying? I think so.

Bashar: All right, so based on what we spoke of earlier, you can understand that your resistance then must be coming from a belief or a definition equation within your personality. Have you spent some time looking for or attempting to discover what that belief would be?

Questioner: When I try to take a close look at that belief, I tend to feel irritated or anger.

Bashar: All right, well then there might yet be even another belief in your way first. In other words, you might be saying “self-examination is scary and irritating,” and so with that belief, that belief doesn’t even let you get to the next belief. So deal with the first belief first.

Keep this technique simple. Whatever seems to be the first obstacle in your way towards understanding yourself, that’s representative of a belief that you must deal with first. So find out what definition you would have to believe in in order for it to be irritating to look at your other beliefs.

It could be many things. Maybe you are afraid to look at all the other beliefs because maybe you are afraid you’ll find so many negative beliefs that you will think you are not a good person. So maybe you have a belief that makes you even afraid to look. But again, all of these things are just definitions. They are not true in and of themselves—they are only true as long as you believe in them.

So can you get in touch with what kind of a belief you would have to have in order to be irritated by the fact that you are trying to look for your other beliefs? What first comes up?

Questioner: I hate myself.

Bashar: Oh, all right. Hate yourself. Why do you hate yourself? What belief do you have about yourself that makes you feel the emotion of hate? Because remember, emotion comes from belief. You are providing a very beautiful example for everyone else in this communication because you are showing how you can use your emotions also and trace them back to find beliefs. So thank you for your willingness to be this example. Nothing goes to waste—everything serves a positive purpose if you want it to.

So together we will even turn your self-hatred into a positive lesson for you and everyone. So let’s ask now: What would you have to believe is true about yourself in order for you to feel hate for yourself? So you would say, for example, “I hate myself because I believe I am…” what? Let’s find the equation. So finish that equation. “I hate myself because I believe I am…”

Questioner: Useless.

Bashar: All right. “I hate myself because I believe I am useless.” Say the whole equation out loud—the whole sentence. “I hate myself because I believe I am useless.” Say the whole thing. Say it proudly.

Questioner: I hate myself because I believe I am useless.

Bashar: She said it! All right, very good, well done. How did it feel saying it that way?

Questioner: Oh, it’s not the big deal.

Bashar: When you say it that way with that kind of energy, you are learning to transform negative energy into positive energy. You understand the belief is not real—it’s just a game you’re playing with yourself. And paradoxically, we have just proven together you are obviously not useless because you just served as a beautiful example for how to change that idea.

So even while saying a negative sentence and saying it in a positive way, you have automatically erased that belief—neutralized it. Do that with all your negative beliefs in that way, and you will laugh yourself to a higher vibration. And as soon as you do it more and more that way, you’ll begin to realize you don’t really hate yourself anymore. In fact, you will probably begin to believe you’re pretty funny, and you will learn to love even the things that make you feel hate because you know you can transform them in positive ways.

Does all of this help you?

Questioner: Thank you very much.

Bashar: I hope you all understand that you are applauding for each other.

Question 3: Communication, Education, and Like Attracts Like

Questioner: And to you, good day. I have three issues or topics. Maybe they are all the same issue in three different disguises. Let me share three.

First, in the morning you said we are going to connect each other and the internet becomes one internet all around the earth. Eventually in the future we may be able to communicate with plants and animals and all the beings on this Earth. In order to communicate with those beings, how can we do that? Like we use energy, and is it energy level communication?

Bashar: It is, and it is controlled in a sense by your imagination and your heart—your feeling. If you just be very, very quiet and listen and stay within your joy energy, you will know what plants and animals and other life is saying. Bit by bit, more and more you will understand more clearly.

But in many ways, some of the communication will be very basic and fundamental. In other words, they would probably say much the same thing that you would say in a similar circumstance. So you can learn to identify with them more strongly by knowing that you have many things in common.

If you are walking in the sun on a beautiful day and feeling attitude, very often an animal or a plant will be communicating and feeling just about exactly the same idea. You can be open to the fact that in many circumstances they will say something similar to you, and the more you pay attention to the fact that they are saying similar things, you’ll become more sensitive to all the things they are saying.

And then sometimes you might hear something a little new or a little different that they might say to you. Remember the Atlantean technique of imagining that you actually are the animal or are the plant, and then just feeling how you imagine they would feel if you were them. You have to identify with them in their kind of world and their perception of the world—the way they would see it.

Most animals and plants know that everything in the world is connected. They know that everything is one. They live in the moment and are very happy and grateful to be who they are and ecstatic to express the gifts that they have been given to share with everyone.

The flowers are very grateful that they have the gift to share with everyone of color and smell and provide nectar for bees. They are very grateful to be this expression of creation. And when the bees take their nectar or when you enjoy their color or appreciate their smell, then you are in relationship with them at that moment, and they are just as happy to be seen as they are to give off the color. They can see the appreciation in your energy, and that makes them feel your love even more strongly and allows them to use that love to bloom.

And the more you appreciate what the flowers do for you, the more you bloom. And in that moment, you are in relationship with and in love with that flower, and they are in love with you. Does this make sense to you?

When you are in love, you will generally know what the other one you are in love with is feeling and thinking. You create a mutual telepathic state of similar vibration. And when you identify strongly and have the same vibration, then you have the same feelings and thoughts at the same time.

So telepathy is not really just reading someone else’s mind—it’s being so much like them for a moment that you have the same thoughts and feelings at the same time. You know what they are thinking and feeling. The more you are in love with yourself, the more you are in love with everything in life, the more you will know everything in life and they will know you.

You do not need to feel silly that other people will look at you and think, “Oh look at her talking to those flowers—what’s wrong with her? She’s crazy.” They don’t know what they’re missing. Does that help you?

Questioner: My understanding of what you said this morning is once we achieve a global level network or one communication, then we may go beyond universal level communication.

Bashar: Yes, you will be able to tap into many different dimensions of consciousness and spirit and learn many different kinds of things. There will come a time on your planet where communication between what you call the living and the dead will be very normal—taken for granted. You will do it all the time. The barrier between physical life and spirit life—those who have died—you will not in a sense feel like you have lost them. You’ll communicate with them all the time. They are in spirit. Just don’t let them make you call collect—you know, I am joking.

Does that answer your question? Thank you.

Questioner: Another topic—education. You said education will become more experiential. When you say experiential, we are to experience vibrations?

Bashar: I mean literally you will experience vibrations, yes. But in other words, to use an example: let us say you want to learn about the idea of a sailing ship. You will not just sit in a class and have someone teach you all the things about sailing ships. You will go on a sailing ship—you will take a sail. Do you understand what we mean?

Questioner: Yes. My last question: When I allow myself feeling excited, then the similar vibration object or circumstances will attract to me?

Bashar: Yes. Like vibration to like vibration—yes, it’s all physics. That’s how it works. Does that help you?

Questioner: Yes, I wanted to ask that and you answered it already. I really got that point. You answered my question already.

Question 4: Life as Hardship vs. Challenge

Questioner: Hello, good day. I’ve been your long-term fan since your first test in Tokyo. I feel honored. After I met you for the first time, our religious life totally changed. I read three books already many times and there are underlines with red color and very creative and very artistic. I gave the same copy to all my employees and I also say this is a new idea, but this is the idea we are going to head for.

Even though I think I understand your viewpoint written in your book and through the sessions, I still feel that I’m not completely free. I feel something—it’s life is a hardship.

Bashar: Are you sure you’re not confusing challenge with hardship? Because if you judge a challenge to be negative, it will be experienced as a hardship. So you have to be cautious that you are not taking something that might be representative of your excitement and judging it in a way so that it makes it difficult for you to tell that it’s your excitement.

Be more specific about what this so-called hardship is.

Questioner: The circumstances of my company and conditions of whole Japan. It’s not only me but whole nation is experiencing this similar hardship.

Bashar: Define the hardship. Be specific.

Questioner: In the producing industry, many companies are moving to China and Japan people are losing their jobs or opportunities.

Bashar: Well, they are being given opportunities to look at new ideas too. You are creating the foundation of a 21st century company. You need to also expand your vision of exactly where your company can have impact and the different kinds of things you can do in different ways than have ever been done before.

Be perpetually excited and creative and imaginative to flow with the changes in a positive way and make them work for you instead of assuming that they are working against you. By looking at these kinds of changes as a hardship, what you are saying is that you are buying a negative belief that these kinds of changes must bring hardship, instead of creating a positive belief about the changes.

Remember that even if someone else chooses to do something for a negative reason, you will only be affected by what they do in a positive way if you stay within your centered vibration. Even if their original intention was to do something negative.

So if you are the captain of your ship and you are creating a 21st century crew, you must learn to navigate through these waters of changes by being able to see new lands where no other people can see them.

If you are helping to instill these 21st century principles in your employees, then ask them to share all together to utilize their collective imagination and come up with new ideas that you may not have thought of before for how your company can expand to ride out the changes in a smooth and creative way, and even perhaps expand in the face of these changes.

You must be willing to steer your ship into new waters—unexplored waters—before you will discover new lands. Does that make sense to you?

Questioner: Thank you. By the way, I am an engineer basically, and in the past century I’ve been searching for physical abundance, but in the new century I would like to add love to this physical abundance.

Bashar: Yes, go ahead—add love to it. And I would like to put this as a motto of my company, my business—is this correct? Yes. You see, the idea is like we have talked about the new communication and new information and new education. This is a perfect opportunity for you to act as an example that there must also be new understanding of how to express business, for in love all things are accomplished effortlessly.

Does that help you?

Questioner: Yes, thank you.

Question 5: Lottery and Abundance

Questioner: You are always energetic high energy person because I would like to feel excited all the time. I bought a lottery, and even though before I bought a lottery I created a new belief equation that “I bought the lottery because I’m going to win.”

Bashar: All right, but you have to also realize that you could just be excited about buying lottery tickets whether you win or not. The idea is to look at the concept holistically. If you stay within the energy of knowing you are abundant and act on the thing that excites you the most at any given moment without expectation that it must come to pass in a certain way, then all the different ways that abundance can come to you will come.

But the actions that you take must be taken for their own sake—just because that action is exciting, not because of what you think it will result in. So definitely stay within the energy and excitement of abundance.

If suddenly the most exciting thing you can think of doing is actually buying a lottery ticket, then buy it. But as soon as you have bought it, forget about the connection to the idea of money. Just forget you have done it and go on to the next most exciting thing, because then you leave the door open for abundance to come to you in the easiest way possible.

You never know—buying the lottery ticket may not be the actual easiest way that abundance could come to you. But by buying the lottery ticket, if it is done from a state of excitement, then you are showing that you have faith in the idea of abundance. But you’re not putting out an expectation that it must absolutely come in that way, because maybe it will come in another way.

It is also important to remember that the definition of abundance is that which allows you to do what you need to do when you need to do it. Sometimes you may not need money to do a certain thing. Money is all well and good on your planet, but it’s not the only form of abundance.

If you stay in your abundant energy and stay excited about abundance, you may find that even while you might be excited about buying a lottery ticket, someone might just suddenly come along and give you something that you need, and then you don’t even need money.

So by all means, have the faith to take action on the things that excite you the most, but do not attach any expectation for how the abundance must come to you, because then you will be truly abundant. Just do the things that excite you because they excite you—there is no other reason to do them. Do you understand, and is this exciting?

Questioner: I started to feel somehow excited. I think I want to put it this way: I feel excited and I take an action on it, but I let go of the expectation on it.

Bashar: Yes, that is true abundance because now you’re free and not attached to anything. You’re not attached to having it have to happen in a certain way, which actually places a limitation on all the ways abundance might come to you. You see what I mean?

Questioner: I feel so excited, almost, almost, almost.

Bashar: Well, if you feel abundant, if you want to feel abundant, you don’t want to feel limited, correct? I hope so. So then imagine this: let’s say you don’t know there is somebody who’s about to come along and give you something for free. If you’re over here insisting that you have to win money, then your focus is over here and you will never see that they’re over here going, “Hey, this is free, look over here.” So you may be looking at this door, but you have closed that door and your abundance can’t actually get to you.

But if you understand that you took action in this direction just because it was representative of excitement in general, and then stand back and remain open and look and see that there may be many doors through which the abundance will manifest, then you’ll be free to accept abundance from any direction instead of insisting that it must just come through this one doorway and shutting all the other doors.

Isn’t it more exciting and more free to feel that when you take action on your excitement, that abundance could come at you from any direction—even ones that would surprise you completely?

Questioner: I’ll open all of my doors.

Bashar: Yes, open all the doors. I am not saying that you cannot win the lottery. However, I am saying that you actually have a better chance—better odds of winning the lottery—when you don’t insist that that is how your abundance is going to come to you. Because your life already works perfectly, and if you allow it to show you where your abundance can come from, it will bring you abundance in all possible form.

Does that make some sense to you?

Questioner: Yes, it is. Thank you.

Bashar: How exciting. Now you have an abundance of understanding.

Question 6: Doubt and Insecurity

Questioner: Nice to meet you, good day. I think to a certain level I’ve been achieving that I allow myself to do whatever I want to do, but when I think about myself, like “Is it okay that I’m doing this?” or “Is it okay to trust myself?” Some insecurity comes in.

Bashar: What is your insecurity? What are you worried will happen if you are living your excitement? Do you have a belief that you are being selfish?

Questioner: My work is to have communication with people, and after I have that form of communication, I start to doubt—did I give the best thing? Did I give the useful thing to the person?

Bashar: All you have to do is ask yourself the following question after every such communication: “Did I do the best I could at the moment?” If the answer is yes, forget about it and go on to something else. If the answer is no—I did not do the best I could have done—use it as a reflection and a lesson for how you can do your best the next time, then forget about it and go on to something else.

It’s as simple as that. Unless of course you would prefer it to be more complicated.

Questioner: No, I don’t.

Bashar: Oh, all right. Then I guarantee it is that simple if you’re willing to allow it to be that simple. Because you are basically a good person at heart. All you have to do is say, “Did I do my best? Yes, I did the best I could.” It doesn’t mean I won’t learn more, it doesn’t mean I won’t do it differently next time, but right now I did the best I could.

If at any given moment you are doing the best you can to be the best you that you can be, you have done your job. Relax, do something else. Will that work for you?

Questioner: Yes, thank you.

Question 7: Different Ways of Thinking

Questioner: One more question. By the way, I have four children. I myself am interested in metaphysical way of life, and I apply to my children. But my children have their own friends and friends’ parents, and when I meet them, I feel that their way of thinking, their way of life is different from mine. I wonder how to cope with them.

Bashar: I will tell you exactly how to cope with them. Did you not say that you were interested in a metaphysical way of life? A metaphysical way of life means that you understand it is important to allow others to believe how they want to believe. A spiritual way of life is understanding that all ways of life are equal—they are just different, that’s all.

You must respect that they believe they are doing what works best for them, just as you want them to allow you to do what works best for you. So you can respect that what they are doing works beautifully for them, and you can appreciate the beauty of what works for them, even though you also understand that something different works for you.

Does that make some sense?

Questioner: Yes, very much.

Bashar: I will also bet that your four children give you lots of practice at communication. Does that help you very much?

Question 8: Performance Anxiety and Self-Criticism

Questioner: My name is Mio and I am a musician. I’m involved with musical activities. Hello, good day. I once in a while perform in front of people, and when I perform, even though I feel excited, I feel nervous too. And when I am nervous, I tend to make mistakes. So I don’t want to play that tape that I performed. Even though I try, I know that I paid my best efforts and performed, but as I grow older, the habit is hard to change. So I wonder how I can change this habit. I tend to criticize myself all the time.

Bashar: All right. Again, please remember habits are not hard to change—that’s a belief. Once you recognize you have a habit, you don’t have it anymore. If you keep on doing the same thing, it’s because you believe you must continue to do the same thing for some reason.

You say you are excited about playing your music, and that may be so. But obviously in energy, many times you have a greater fear that somehow you are going to be found lacking. And what that simply means is that you are judging yourself as somehow being lacking something. What do you believe you are missing? Are you judging yourself by comparing yourself to other people and thinking, “I’m not as good as them”—is that where it comes from? Or does it come from someplace else? In what way do you believe you are not?

Questioner: I have a fear that people may call me a failure.

Bashar: A failure? All right, I understand. But let me ask you a question. May I ask you a question? Yes, please. Then now, what instrument do you play?

Questioner: Piano.

Bashar: All right. You know that the piano has many keys, yes? All right. Well, is there a piece that you play that uses every key on the piano?

Questioner: I don’t think so.

Bashar: All right, so no particular piece makes you need to use every single key. No composition needs to have every single key touched at some point in the composition, right? All right. Well, let us imagine you are going to do different compositions in one concert. Let us assume that over the course of this concert with these different pieces, you will play eventually every single one of the keys on the piano keyboard. Are you with me so far? Yes.

All right, now I am going to tell you you’re going to go out there and you’re going to perform this concert, and I’m going to tell you just before you go out on stage to begin your first piece that one of the keys on the piano doesn’t work. Would you want to use that piano, or would you rather have another piano that works?

Questioner: The latter one.

Bashar: Oh, all right. Well, why? Why would you choose the latter piano instead of the piano with one key that makes no sound?

Questioner: As my performance goes on, if I happen to need that key, I cannot perform the tune in a correct way.

Bashar: You would not be able to perform in the right way—the whole piece somehow would not be able to be complete because that one key is missing. Yes. Then why are you taking yourself off the keyboard of life?

You are saying that you believe you have no purpose in a sense—expressing the true self that you are. You do not believe that you really have something to give. You’re like that one key you think doesn’t work. But if you’re there, if you’re on the keyboard at all, it is important for you to realize there’s a reason why you’re there. You need that key to play the whole piece.

So when you judge yourself, it is like you are making yourself not belong on the keyboard, and you are saying then that the whole piece cannot be played. All the other people are deprived of your beautiful note because you are judging yourself as not belonging or not working on the keyboard.

Every note is unique. Your expression of music is a unique gift. If somehow you judge that you are not worthy to express your musical gift, then you are depriving others of that one beautiful note that would complete the whole piece. You have to trust that the way you choose to express yourself is perfect for what it needs to be, to allow the whole song to be complete.

Do you understand the analogy?

Questioner: So what you mean is even though I make a mistake in my performance, I am giving something to other people?

Bashar: Yes. And the more you understand that you are really truly giving a great gift to other people, you will relax about the way you perform and you will make less mistakes. Do you understand that’s the point? But the relaxation comes from trusting that whatever it is you do give is perfect for what you’re giving, and that that is a gift to other people—to be able to hear the unique expression that you give.

You understand? Please go and make beautiful music.

Second Half: Harmony and Global Transformation

Following Your Excitement Holistically

Bashar: Let us continue this transmission. Let us speak a little bit about the harmony of following your excitement and how to look at this concept holistically.

Many times when we speak to your human people about following their individual excitement, people ask us a question. They say, “Bashar, but if everyone is following their own individual excitement, then won’t that conflict with everyone else’s excitement? How can everyone do whatever they want all the time and allow everyone else to also do what they want all the time? Wouldn’t that create conflict?”

The simple answer is no. You must understand this concept of following your excitement holistically. If you are being your true self, then you will automatically fit with everyone else who is being their true self. The only time there is conflict—both on an individual and a large scale—is when individuals are resisting being their natural self.

If you come from the understanding that creation already works, that all the pieces in creation already fit together, then you will understand the nature of this harmony. Disharmony and friction only come from not being your true self—the self you were originally created to be—because then you are creating yourself to be a shape that doesn’t fit within the original picture of the full idea of creation.

But if you are your true natural self, you will automatically fit with all others being their true natural self in all possible ways. The harmony that is generated by everyone following their true excitement is profound. Without trying to figure it out, without planning ahead, everyone just winds up being exactly in the right place at the right time when they need to be, without having to think about it or force anything to happen artificially.

Everyone just finds themselves interacting with exactly the right person they need to interact with at every given moment, because the vibration of your true natural self automatically orchestrates itself with all other true vibrations, making everything dance together smoothly.

The Individuality Paradox

That is why harmony is actually a great paradox. Because while at first it would seem that the more of an individual you are, the more conflict that would create, just the opposite is actually true. The more of the true individual you are, the more harmonious you will become with all other true individuals.

The only time there is conflict with the idea of being an individual is when you individualize yourself in such a way that you separate yourself from the harmony of the whole picture—not understanding how you are connected to the whole. This creates isolated, separated, conflicting individuals.

Understanding how you are connected to the whole by acting in your joy and excitement and being your true self creates harmonious individuals.

The Geometry of Energy

Also please understand the following idea: Segregation and separation and disconnection in that sense creates more and more and more negative energy and more separation. Positive energy harmony creates more and more integration, and integration and harmony is geometrically expansive.

So as we have recently said, a few harmonious integrated people will completely balance the idea of many negative, segregated, disconnected people. The energy signature of 1,000 disconnected negative people can be completely balanced and offset by the energy signature of just 10 people acting in harmony.

The Critical Mass Numbers

That is why your planet is now accelerating in spiritual ways, because it doesn’t require that even half of the planet or even a corner of the planet be focused on spirituality for your planet to start moving faster toward the age of transformation. You have already long ago passed the critical mass number needed to help your planet continue to accelerate in a positive way until it reaches harmony.

Each and every one of you, each and every single individual willing to live in their true vibration, is like adding another 100 individuals to the acceleration of the world.

By your year of 2013, every single individual that becomes aligned in their true vibration will be like adding a thousand individuals in positive energy to the world.
By your year of 2020, every single individual willing to transform themselves in positive ways will be like adding 100,000 new positive individuals to the world.
By your year of 2025, every single individual willing to become the vibration of their excitement will be like adding 1 million new positive individuals to the world’s energy.
By your year of 2037, you will have billions of positive individuals working together individually and as one.

That unified energy is what will allow your planet to finally be able to join our association of many different worlds and work in harmony with all of us.

The Importance of Your Contribution

So each and every one of you willing to truly relax into your joy and your excitement and be your true self, you add that much more momentum to the world’s ability as a whole to become unified and at peace.

The more each and every one of you are willing to trust your imagination and create new ideas in the world—new ideas of information, new ideas of communication, new ideas of education, new ideas of business, new ideas of technology, new ideas of power generation, new ideas of social community, new ideas of spiritual expression, a new definition of life on Earth for all—the sooner you are each individually willing to take action in these exciting ways, the sooner life on Earth will become your dream.

This is why we extend to each and every one of you our deepest appreciation in co-creating these communications with us, because this adds energy to that positive momentum as well.

Second Question Session

Question 9: Timing and Excitement

Questioner: Good day. I would like to ask how to make my dream come true.

Bashar: Did we not already discuss much of these techniques? Yes, that’s right. Well, all right. Is there some specific aspect of this you feel you need a little more clarity on?

Questioner: By the way, I’m teaching English to children at my home, and today because I am a teacher of English, I expected to understand your English more. But to my standard, I got sort of disappointed that I didn’t get your English so much.

Bashar: All right, well please understand I am not speaking English. I am not speaking at all. I am only sending thoughts that are being translated through the channel’s brain into the language the channel understands. However, because in the channel’s mind I am what you would call an alien or foreign in energy, then the translation into the channel’s language sometimes comes out with an unusual accent.

So we apologize if there are translation problems with the device. We trust that we will be able to assist you in understanding more clearly. So please let us know what you feel you are unclear about.

Questioner: Let me put it aside—English problem put it aside. What I love is learning English, and it’s the most exciting thing to me. By the way, I’m mother and wife and I have roles at home, so it is hard for me to make my own time to study more. On the book of Bashar, I read the time between 2:00 early in the morning to 4:00 early in the morning is the most energetic time zone, so I decided I have to learn during these hours and then it’s going to be very efficient for me to learn and memorize things.

Bashar: All right, as long as you do not tire yourself out by getting no sleep at all. That’s right. So you have to trust your timing more than the idea of having to arrange your time schedule.

You look at all the things that excite you the most in order of degree of excitement in any given day. Act on the things that excite you the most to whatever degree you can act on them. Take the first thing that excites you the most and do the most with it you are capable of doing within that day. When there is nothing more you can do about that exciting thing, then act on the next most exciting thing you have the ability to actually take some action on.

After you are done doing that, if there is nothing else you can do on that exciting thing, choose the next most exciting thing you are able to do something about. At the end of the day, if there is no more time for you to act on other things, then that’s all you needed to do that day.

Let the excitement show you the timing of how many of those things need to be done in any given day, and don’t force yourself to think you have to do more than you can fit in any particular time frame that is comfortable. Because again, you have to look at your excitement holistically as a whole picture. What point would there be in following your excitement if to do so would wear you out?

The idea is to trust the timing of the excitement in that what fits in one day is comfortable for you. You do not need to force anything else, because what point would there be in following your excitement if following your excitement exhausted you? Would there be any point to acting on your excitement if it wore you out, if it tired you out? There would be no point to it. Excitement doesn’t come that way. It doesn’t come with exhaustion—it comes with rejuvenation, exhilaration.

So rather than scheduling your time, trust the timing of exactly how many exciting things you can fit into any given time period. Does that make sense to you?

Questioner: So what you are telling me is I’m not supposed to attach to that particular time zone like 2:00 to 4:00 in the morning?

Bashar: I am just saying that that is a very good time when, if you are able to be quiet, you can feel energized and be very creative. But I am saying don’t force yourself into that time zone. It should be a matter of easy timing, not “I must do this, then I must do this now.”

Many people on your planet force themselves into artificial schedules that have nothing to do with their natural rhythm. More people when they follow a natural rhythm might automatically find themselves more naturally sleeping during the afternoon and being awake early in the morning.

So what we are saying is that when you find your natural rhythm, then everything that really needs to get done in the course of a day will be done in the right timing and at the appropriate time to fit your natural rhythm. Does that make some sense to you?

Questioner: I would like to ask one more. My understanding is if I am living my life with full excitement, I don’t need to sleep so long. Is that also true?

Bashar: That is also true. But again, it’s not something you’d have to force yourself to do—you’ll just naturally feel awake. You will just sleep when you’re tired and you’ll be awake when you’re not. That’s all there is to it.

Yes, more and more individuals as your species evolves—when they follow their highest joy—will generally find they don’t sleep as much as they used to. That is generally true. One of the reasons that many people on your planet now must sleep the amount of time that they do is because it is important for them to connect to their dream reality. But when you manifest your dream energy on Earth—when you are living your dream—then you will not need to sleep so much in order to connect to your dream energy because it will be all around you.

But while you are following your excitement, if suddenly you simply find that you are tired and it is natural for you to go to sleep, please don’t force yourself to stay awake or think that there’s something wrong with you. Everyone will be somewhat different for a while, and you must simply allow yourself to trust that your excitement will help you understand your natural rhythm and timing.

Does that help?

Question 10: Relationship Conflict and Expectations

Questioner: Good day. My question is about interpersonal relationship. By the way, there is a guy that I would like to be close to, but when we actually go out together we often have conflict. So I think my equation about this relationship is “When I go out or I am together with him, I cannot get along,” and I would like to change this equation, this belief. How can I rephrase it into a positive thought?

Bashar: All right, thank you. Do you have any particular expectations of what you need him to be?

Questioner: That is a yes.

Bashar: What do you expect he needs to be? Are you saying you need him to change into something you would prefer him to be rather than allowing him to be who he is? Is that what you’re saying?

Questioner: I hope so.

Bashar: Why do you hope this?

Questioner: For example, I share something with him, expecting him to comfort me, but he instead of comforting me scolds me in a way.

Bashar: Yes, so why are you looking for that kind of comfort from him?

Questioner: I should feel comfortable when he comforts me.

Bashar: Why do you need him to comfort you? That’s what I’m asking you. Why are you looking for someone else to comfort you? Are you unable to comfort yourself?

Questioner: Now I know that I wanted somebody to comfort me.

Bashar: Why? Why do they need to comfort you? Why do you need to be comforted?

Questioner: Maybe because I want to believe he’s special.

Bashar: No, you want to believe you’re special. You want him to prove to you that you’re special because you don’t believe you are.

Questioner: That’s right, yes.

Bashar: That’s right. And so he will get angry with you because all you’re actually saying to him is “I am nothing, please tell me I am something, but I am nothing, but please tell me I am something.” So what you are saying is that you’re only in the relationship for the purpose of making yourself feel better. It’s not really about supporting each other.

Questioner: That’s true. Now I see.

Bashar: Good, thank you for opening your eyes. Does that help you? Then now you can get in touch with that belief and use the techniques to change your belief and understand that relationships are for the purpose of allowing each other to become more of who you really are.

Because you see, here is the paradox—this is the energy and the communication that you have been creating up to this point. You’re actually asking him to reinforce your sense of unworthiness, because every time you ask him to make you feel better, you don’t have to change, you don’t have to make yourself feel better. You’re leaving it all up to him. And if he does it, that means he’s reinforcing that you don’t ever have to feel better about yourself because he’ll do it all for you.

A relationship is to help each other become more of who you are, not less of your natural self—which is what you’re asking him to do for you. Does this make sense to you now energetically?

Questioner: I really understand that. Thank you very much.

Question 11: Weight Loss

Questioner: Good day. I think I’ve got the general idea of excitement, but I would like you to be more specific. Suppose I would like to have a business success and I create an imagination of my business success in a form and I put it in my mind and feel excited and live my life fully with that excitement.

Bashar: Yes, without expectation. Now you understand without expectation. Do you see how this changes the way you’re asking your questions? You’re forgetting a part of the formula: act on your excitement with integrity and without expectation, so you do not close the doors through which the manifestation of your dream could come from another direction. It’s the same idea—getting clearer and clearer, isn’t it?

Questioner: Yeah, I think I got his point. In his case I got confused again.

Bashar: That’s all right. Well, there is another desire—exciting idea to me—like I would like to lose my weight.

Bashar: All right, go right ahead. Lose your weight as you move forward in your energy and you use more of your energy to manifest the idea of your dreams. Then less and less energy sticks around you and builds up into matter. As you clear yourself of negative beliefs, then those negative beliefs no longer turn into the idea of spending time doing things that will add weight to your body, because you will need to in a sense act at a higher frequency and you will drop the weight and not do the things that add the weight.

The more you are truly aligned with your frequency of excitement, the more you will—shall we say—instinctively just do those things or eat those things or behave in a way that will be most aligned with your energy, and those things will not have a tendency to add weight to you.

Now we are not saying that you have to focus too hard on this idea. We don’t want you to judge yourself, nor do we want any of you to think that in order to follow your excitement you must be as skinny as a toothpick. After all, look at Buddha—total joy, but a little bit fat.

The thing really is just to relax into your natural self. There will be a range of weight that still represents following your joy. So do not judge yourself too harshly. You will lose what weight you need when you are more aligned with yourself.

Now I’m not saying that you need to do what I’m about to say, but it will give you another example of sometimes why some people may carry a little bit of extra weight. Some people have a little bit of a belief that when they follow their excitement and follow their joy, their vibration is going to rise so high that they’ll just fly right up off the planet. And so they believe they need to put on a little weight to keep themselves on the ground. They use it as a balancing mechanism sometimes.

Now yes, while of course the belief that they need to put on a little weight to keep themselves grounded is a belief, it’s not really in that sense a very harmful one as long as the weight is not extreme. You understand what we are saying?

Questioner: Okay, thank you. Actually, in my daily life, even though I’m not on a particular diet, I lost 3 kilograms—it’s about 6 pounds—naturally.

Bashar: All right, well then there you go. You see? Right. Thank you.

Question 12: Career Change and the Believability Tool

Questioner: How you, good day. I’m very pleased to meet you.

Bashar: Oh, we are ecstatic to meet you. And any, any, any on your planet.

Questioner: This is my personal question. I have a current job, but I feel more excited with another possibility of another job. What would that be? Professional pilot.

Bashar: Are you going to take flying lessons then?

Questioner: In order to have a small-sized airplane operation license, I have to fly 30 hours. So you are saying that you are taking lessons—is that what you are saying? Yes, I am in the training already.

Bashar: All right, very good. Right.

Questioner: My desire is to quit my current job completely and put myself into that new possibility of job completely.

Bashar: Well, all right. Go ahead. However, understand this: You must be very clear about your belief system—believing that if you totally quit the other job, you must believe that your belief system can bring something to support you. If you don’t, it would be wiser to hold on to the other job a little longer until you are clear that your belief system will support you if you change.

It is all right to expand your dream of excitement in a step-by-step fashion. You don’t necessarily have to do it all at once, unless you really believe that that’s what gives you your greatest joy and you really believe that your excitement will support you completely. Whichever way you choose to do it is all right because it’s your life—it’s your choice.

Questioner: And then when I observe my circumstances, somehow I cannot quit my current job right now. That may mean that my belief system hasn’t switched completely to that.

Bashar: All right, well then you can spend some time working with your belief system to see if you can get it to accelerate.

The Believability Threshold Tool

We created a tool some time ago called the “Threshold of Believability” or “Doorway.” It is a way to measure where your belief happens to be on a scale in a sense of 1 to 10. Because you are your own best sensitive measuring device, and you can tell very quickly by using this tool exactly how long it will take for you to transform your belief.

This is a very, very powerful tool, so all of you pay attention because you can all use this in different areas of your life.

How the Tool Works:

I’m going to ask you a series of questions. If you were doing this on your own, you would ask yourself the question, or you could even get someone else to ask the questions of you. When I ask you this question, I want you to answer as quickly as you can—yes or no—but answer as quickly as you can after I ask the question.

All right, now here you are. Here’s the present situation: You have a job that you’re doing that isn’t necessarily representative of your highest excitement, and you have something else that you’re doing that does represent a higher excitement. Yes. And you are wondering when you will be able—when you will have a strong enough belief to be able to just be supported by the other idea and quit your job. That’s the basic question you are asking.

So the question really is: “How long will it be before I believe I will be just totally living my dream and not doing anything that doesn’t excite me?” That’s really the basic question.

So you start using the believability tool by starting way out in the future—way farther than you know for sure, far enough ahead so that you know for sure that by then you would be only living your dream and you cannot imagine doing anything else.

So in other words, the question that you would start asking yourself is: “Do I believe without a hesitation, without a doubt, that in 10 years that will be more than enough time for me to change my belief so that I’ll only be doing what excites me the most? Is 10 years enough time for you to change that belief?”

Questioner: That’s more than enough.

Bashar: Yes. More than enough. All right. See, no hesitation at all. You believe that 10 years is more than enough time to change the belief system within you right now. Yes. All right, very good.

Now you start lowering the amount. “Is 5 years more than enough time for you to change this belief system?”

Questioner: Maybe a little difficult.

Bashar: All right, now there you go. You see. Now you said 10 years—no problem. 9 years—no problem, perhaps. All right, you’re already hesitating. You see.

When you find your first hesitation—when you go down in increments and wherever you first hesitate—that’s how long it’s going to take with your present belief system.

Now you can say, “Well, if I would like it to take less time, what belief—using the techniques we did before—what belief would I have to change to make it easy for me to believe that I can do it in less time?”

So when you find out what that belief is and you change the belief using the technique we talked about before, then you can take the test again. Starting again from where you originally started—where it was no problem at all to believe that you could change. So you say 10 years—no problem. 9 years—no problem with my new belief system. Now I know 9 years is more than enough time. 8 years—no problem. 7 years—no problem. 6 years—maybe.

As soon as you find yourself hesitating again, find out what belief you have within yourself that would make it take that long. Do this over and over and over again until you lower and lessen and lessen the amount of time it will take.

As soon as you get the time frame down to where it no longer changes no matter what you do with your belief system, then that is the natural amount of time it needs to take for your life path. Do you see how to use this powerful tool?

Questioner: Yes, I see it. When I’m using that tool and trying to change my belief, is it not trying to change my belief—changing my belief—may I use my preferred phrase to replace that old belief?

Bashar: Yes, it is the technique we talked about before. Create a new definition to replace the old definition—one that you believe is more in harmony with your excitement and your true self. And if you understand and really believe what we said before, how the new belief will replace the old belief, then it will be in place and it will make a difference.

If any of you have difficulty believing that the new belief you’ve created will replace the old belief, then there again is yet another belief you need to look at. And as soon as you find out what belief you have that makes it seem difficult to replace old beliefs with new, then you will change that, and you will be able to start doing this whole set of tools.

And please, please, please remember: All of these beliefs and techniques and tools work best when you start with the primary fundamental understanding that you are unconditionally loved and you accept that.

Bashar: So do this and fly high in your aeroplane. Maybe one day while you’re flying along, maybe you will be joined by a UFO.
