Distractions

Art, Distractions, and Being Present

Audience Member: What would be expansive to know on from you uh regarding my painting and my drawing in terms of my uh involvement in it. Perhaps my…

Bashar: It’s probably a good idea if you’re involved in it.

Audience Member: Uh, the brush may have some difficulty painting by itself, although when you throw it, it does carry paint. It does. Yes, if that’s the way you express it.

Bashar: Yes. Nevertheless, you threw it, so you’re still involved.

Audience Member: Yes. Uh, I guess um, how much if I may now reciprocate for a moment and ask you a question? How much of yourself is in your work?

Bashar: I feel uh, my I am allowing more of myself each time I go in front of the materials without my ego.

Bashar: If all right, let me ask you another question and I’m going to just put it in what you Earth people call pragmatic terminology. On a scale of one to 100, how much of yourself is in your work? Define self.

Audience Member: You define it. Okay. Um, I feel uh when I catch myself not fully present, I allow as much of myself to show up then. So I’ll shift the gear to allow more.

Bashar: When you say not fully present, do you simply mean that you’re not aware of certain things?

Audience Member: I’m aware but I’m allowing uh distractions to come in.

Bashar: All right. Define distraction.

Audience Member: Oh, perhaps uh a worry, uh something which is which impedes the process.

Bashar: Then here is my suggestion for you to help you expand. All right? Yes. There is no such thing as a distraction. There is no such thing as a distraction. That’s a label that doesn’t serve you. Yes. Whatever comes in belongs there. Is a part of the process, is a part of the work, needs to be there in order for the work to be deeper because your relationship to it, whatever you discover in your relationship to what’s happening at that moment, is not a distraction, it is an illumination of another part of you.

All it takes is redefinition and everything changes. When you define something as a distraction, it impedes you. When you define it as an illumination, it enlightens you.

Bashar: Do you feel more expanded?

Audience Member: I think the the word that’s coming to my mind is curiosity about about the uh, I feel like my vibration changes significantly when I’m in the creative process of it. Is there something um interesting that I can hear from you about that which I’m not consciously aware of?

Bashar: Well, it’s similar to what we talked about earlier in the idea that when your vibration uplifts in a pure Act of Creation, in living in the moment, in that moment, then the vibrations you are radiating outward in that sense are being picked up on by many many people in the form of sudden inspiration. They don’t know where it came from. Oh, you understand? Okay. But when you do that, when all of you do that, you are doing many more things than you think.

When you’re in that state, for example, you are allowing many other things to occur in your reality that otherwise would not have occurred because the vibration would not necessarily have been there to support the occurrence of those things. Uhhuh. You understand? Mhm. So for example, if you are in that state, it might be that suddenly 15 more daisies will grow where they wouldn’t have before. You understand? Mhm. And so when you are in that state, you’re actually having the ability to perceive the manifestation of that state in a variety of ways as it translates through all the different kingdoms, so to speak, all the different areas of your planet. So when you paint, you are painting the world.

Audience Member: Yes, there, because it’s connected.

Bashar: Yes, because it’s all one thing. And when you paint in that knowledge, you will start to see that reflected in the painting, in the work, whatever form it may be in. And that’s when you’ll also really start to see more of your true self in the work, because more of your true self is simply more of All-That-Is.

Audience Member: What would be helpful for me in my journey in my my discovery of getting uh getting down to the things that are keeping me blocked such as or um…

Bashar: Distraction applies to the idea of being blocked. If you define a thing as a block, it’s a block. So let’s say you do things and you don’t fully accept that you’ve done them. Yes. So you kind of split yourself off. So on in one reality. All right. All right. One sentence about that: You cannot change what you don’t own.

Audience Member: So how do I more fully own?

Bashar: Does it excite you? Does it excite you to think that you would be able to change things in the way you would prefer? Yes or no?

Audience Member: Yes.

Bashar: Then does not that realization itself make you want to own everything that happens? That’s my conundrum. It doesn’t. Uh, if if everything is fertilizer for the next great Daisy, yes, then there’s no judging the fertilizer. It’s all practical.

Audience Member: Yes, but I think I judge the fertilizer.

Bashar: And how does it serve you to do so? Please remember, none of you do anything that you don’t think serves you. You understand? When you judge something in a negative way, when you take a negative action, you’re doing so because you’re motivated to do so. And if you’re motivated to do so, it’s because you’ve attached a belief system to the doing of that thing that says the doing of that thing somehow serves you better than any other choice you could make. If you actually recognize that doing that thing or being in that state doesn’t really serve you, yet you keep having that behavior, you have to find out what belief system makes you think you have to keep choosing that. Because the belief system makes you keep choosing it only because the belief system says that to keep choosing it is actually a better choice than choosing something else. So you have to find out what the belief system is that actually motivates you to keep looking at something that way. When you find out what the definition is, then you can change that definition. And when you change the definition, you will change your motivation and your behavior will change accordingly.

But everything you do and every approach to anything you take, you are motivated to do because you believe that for some reason that’s the best thing that will serve you somehow. That may seem like a paradox, but let me further illustrate the point. Someone may empirically understand intellectually that they ought to be doing such and such instead of the behavior they constantly do, but perhaps they have a belief attached to the idea of what they think they want to do that says that for some reason that’s scarier than just doing what you’re familiar with, no matter how much you dislike doing it. So if the scariness is the stronger belief, then you will keep doing the thing you say you don’t want to do, no matter how much you don’t want to do it, until such time as you change the belief around and make it understandable to yourself that continuing to do the thing you don’t want to do is the scarier thing to do. And as soon as you attach the belief to that, you will immediately change your behavior because you always do the thing that’s in the direction of the thing you believe is the thing that serves you best.

Audience Member: Yes. It it seems like you like the the burners turned on and there’s things being added to the soup. Yes. Um, and and and how you define what those things are determines whether or not you will eat them. Yeah. Or it will eat me. Or it will eat you.

Bashar: So it’s all about how you define them. Your definitions make it seem as if it’s true what you believe in, but it’s not empirically true. It’s just the definition about that thing.

When you find out why you’re motivated to keep choosing that behavior, you can change the definition and your behavior will change accordingly. But it’s always based on what you believe is best for you.

Audience Member: Is there something helpful for example before you go to bed at night for me to meditate on concerning this on getting to flipping that belief or getting clear on what that is?

Bashar: Well, pick any situation that you feel you are having difficulty with and ask yourself the following question: “What would I have to believe is true in order for me to perceive this situation in a negative way?” Find out what that definition is. That’s your meditation. When you find out what it is, you will understand this principle: Identifying the belief is the end of the belief, not the beginning of the process of letting it go. Identifying it, if you’re willing to believe it is enough to let it go, then just replace it with a belief that you prefer.

If you still find yourself doing the same thing, then there is yet again another underlying belief that says that it doesn’t serve you to let the other belief go. Find out what that belief is and let that one go. And keep digging deeper and deeper until you have deconstructed all the definitions and until you can replace them with ones that you prefer and know that they have just as much power as the other ones did, just because you say so.

So when you feel fear and you feel you start to feel kind of stuck in paralyzed…

Audience Member: Yes.

Bashar: Redefine it. Okay? Redefine it. In other words, fear is not necessarily negative thing. How does it serve you in a positive way to experience fear? Well, one example is fear is your own energy of excitement but it’s flowing through a belief system that’s out of alignment with your true self. So the fact that you’re feeling your energy in a fearful Way shows you that something’s out of alignment. So the fear has actually done a positive thing by bringing your attention to it. And when you look at it that way, suddenly you don’t feel it as fear anymore.

Bashar: That’s how to redefine things. And when you redefine them, the energy of them will change.

Bashar: Have fun with your fear. It’s your friend. It’s your friend. It’s your friend. It’s saying, “Knock knock knock, let me get your attention. I have to get your attention because you’re not paying attention to something you need to know about yourself so that if you don’t prefer refer it, you can change it.” So that’s what I’m here to tell you. So fear is a messenger bringing your attention to something that was here to before unconscious and bringing it into your Consciousness so you can deal with it and integrate it. Isn’t that a nice thing for fear to Doh?

These are not just aphorisms, these are not just affirmations. This is physics. This is physics. What you define to be true is what creates the order of your experience in the world. It’s all based on your strongest definition, your strongest belief. Because there is no outside reality except what you believe there is. Outside doesn’t exist. There is no outside. It’s all being reflected in a sense by a self-imposed mirror that’s taking its cue from whatever it is you’re giving off. It’s just a reflection of your own energy. Find out what the definition is and that will change the emotion because all emotion comes from belief and definition. You cannot have a feeling about something if you don’t first have a definition about something. If you don’t have a definition, you don’t have a feeling. If you don’t have a definition and a feeling, you don’t have a behavior. In order for you to change Behavior, change the feeling, you must change the definition. But when you change the definition, the feeling that goes with it will automatically change and the behavior will automatically align with that as well. Simple physics.

Time, Reincarnation, and Traffic

Audience Member: Hi. About 18 years ago you um started off the evening by saying that you’re going to take us on a trip.

Bashar: Yes.. it was just like a moment ago to me.

You know why it’s just like it was a moment ago to me? Why is that? Cuz it was just a moment ago to me. Okay. Because time for me is not what it is for you. Although it could be. When… now. The more you live in the now, the more you don’t create the experience of as much time. The saying that you have on your planet, “time flies when you’re having fun,” is not just about the idea of ignoring the passage of time when you are immersed in a labor of love. It’s actually a statement that says that when you actually are in that vibration doing what excites you and being in the present, you actually literally don’t create as much experience of time. You don’t create as much time. That’s true.

Audience Member: I’ve experien that.

Bashar: Yes. So you can choose to experience that now and now and now and now and now and now and now and now and now and now if you want to. But do understand that the experience you have all agreed to create to some degree of time also has its value. You, because the experience of SpaceTime is what allows you to experience the process of creation and that gives you a handle on how it is you’re actually functioning as a Creator. So that has value. You don’t necessarily want to dismiss all of it, but you can appreciate it for what it is and experience less of it according to the degree to which you are willing to be in your highest Joy at every given moment.

Audience Member: All right. Thank you. And then so uh, when you started I I closed my eyes and suddenly I was on a ship. Yes. And I was being taken on a tour.

Bashar: Well, yes. That’s what it was all about. It was a field trip to the ship.

Audience Member: Yes. Whose ship?

Bashar: Yes. Whose ship?

Audience Member: Uh, our ship? Your ship?

Bashar: One of our ships. Okay. The one that we have identified, although we don’t usually have the same kind of naming process that you do, but we understand you like to have names on your planet. So in that sense we have identified that particular Mothership, as you would call it, as the Solar Wind. And we took you on a tour energetically of that ship.

Audience Member: Yes. So it was called the field trip. The field trip. So the bodies that I saw that had manifested, those were similar to yours?

Bashar: Describe them.

Audience Member: Oh my God. Sort of translucent and um tall and shimmery beautiful but but not solid.

Bashar: That an energy aspect of a different being on the ship. Okay. Wasn’t ours, but it was a different dimensional aspect of a different being on the ship. Okay. You must understand there are many different levels of beings, many different kinds of beings on these ships, and what you encountered was one particular type. But you also interpreted it and experience it through a certain kind of filter system, so to speak, because you were not having your ey eyes with you. And when you remembered the experience, when you remembered the encounter, your mind had to process it and interpret it and symbolize it in a certain way. So you interpreted and symbolized it in that way. Okay? That’s not what we actually physically look like.

Audience Member: Okay. One other thing. Um, is there still life on Serus [Sirius]? Like is it possible that cuz what if you want to in the serious system?

Bashar: Yes. There are different types. Again, there are higher dimensional non-physical types. There are also still physiological manifestations that are primarily amphibious in nature. Okay.

Audience Member: Are we stuck reincarnating on this planet? Excuse me.

Bashar: One moment. I have to wait for the laughter on my side to die down.

Audience Member: I know it’s a dumb question but…

Bashar: It is not a dumb question. It is however… I keep coming back here and I don’t really like it here.

Audience Member: So that’s all right. It is simply an earth question. It’s not a dumb question. Okay. Well, I’ve… One Moment. One Moment. Sor. Thank you. Sor. Thank you. All right. Now, no one is ever stuck. First of all, you make choices and there are consequences to choices. The idea may be that sometimes an individual, if they do not have an awareness that they have a choice, May in a sense cause themselves an experience called an immediate reincarnation because they don’t necessarily know there is anywhere else to go. That’s true. But you are not stuck. Okay. The idea is that everything you do is the result of some type of choice or some type of belief system or some type of perspective. Okay.

With regard to to the actual nature of SpaceTime, reincarnation is really ultimately a misnomer because time is an illusion. There is really no past, really no future. There is only now. So what you all call past lives, reincarnation and so forth, is actually simultaneous multiple concurrent incarnations all going on right now. But they’re on different wavelengths, different frequencies, so you don’t perceive one another. Similar to the analogy of your television programs where at any given moment you know there are a multitude of programs all existing at the same time, but you only get the one you happen to be tuned to at that moment and you don’t perceive the others until you change the channel. So the idea is that all your lives are going on right now.

No matter where they are or when they are, they’re all going on right now. They all Coexist on different frequency bandwidths. So in that sense it’s not about being stuck and coming back, stuck and coming back. They’re all going on right now. And whatever connections you are making to other lives, you are making from this one. And in each life, whatever connections they may make to other lives, they are making from those lives. There’s no true linear connection of one life that actually literally results from another life. That’s an illusion.

Bashar: So the belief system that you are stuck in that sense is what connects you to the idea of reincarnation in the way that reinforces the idea of being stuck.

So also getting in touch with what there is to love about the experience you are having on Earth will also help loosen up your ability to perceive that you always have a choice.

What is so horrible about having Earth lives?

Audience Member: Where can I start? Anywhere you wish. Uh, the the abundance of people who only think about themselves. Have you driven in traffic? I mean it’s… have I? It’s just on this. I have never driven in your traffic in my life. People don’t communicate. I see. And it sometimes feels very lonely. I see.

Bashar: If you want to change the world, change yourself.

Audience Member: I’m trying.

Bashar: No, you don’t try. You change. You look at things differently. You look at the world the way you want the world to look at you. And then it won’t matter whether anyone else looks at you that way because you will be too busy looking at the world the way you want to. When you are in traffic—and I mean this word of course in another way than is typically meant with regard to traffic on your planet—understand that nowhere at any time are there actually ever any accidents. Nothing happens by accident. It’s an orchestration.

So when you are in traffic, even though you may not be fully aware of exactly why and it may not always relate completely to you who is next to you in traffic, why they are there and what they are doing is all an orchestration you have all worked out on another level. It’s not accidental. So whatever is happening, how you relate to it is your opportunity to decide how you want to use that orchestration and what you want to get out of it.

It also helps to have a bigger picture idea of that whole thing. I’ll give you another example. Someone may be saying, “I’m late for this appointment, I’m late for this appointment, and here I am stuck in traffic, dad gummit,” or something to that effect. And they may not know that that is a perfect orchestration because if they had gone another 5 miles an hour faster, they would have come into a major accident that would have killed them. But they don’t know that. But the point is, you have to trust that the orchestration is actually working in your benefit even if you can’t immediately fathom how that can be. So when you start to trust that it is working to your benefit, you start to label it with a positive meaning instead of a negative one. You will start to see positive effects happening for you regardless of what anyone else’s intention in the orchestration is. So what you put into it is what you get out of it. Label it in a negative way, you will only get negative experiences out of it. Label it in a positive way, and you will see positive effects come from that same experience.

This is physics. So if you want to see the world change, change yourself and the way you look at it, and then you will get the effect that is commensurate with what you’re putting into it. Because that is one of the laws of the universe: what you put out is what you get back. And it isn’t about always needing the way things look to change to know that you’re getting what you need. Because as we just Illustrated, the very same event can serve double duty. Just because it may look the same doesn’t mean it has the same meaning. So you can be in a traffic jam one time and be putting negative meaning into it and you’ll be getting all sorts of negative effects. You can be in the very same traffic jam and putting a positive meaning into it and getting all sorts of positive effects out of the very same situation. So just because it doesn’t change on the surface outwardly doesn’t mean you won’t get a beneficial effect from it if you give it a beneficial meaning. But that’s your responsibility, not anyone else’s.

Economy, Energy, and the Year 2033

Audience Member: Please comment on the US economy in the years to come like concerning the price of oil and gold in real estate? What’s going to happen?

Bashar: Some things will go up and some things will go down and some things will stay the same and some things won’t. [Applause] When your people finally put their voices together and say they actually want to use another source of power, all of that will change. That’s up to you.

Audience Member: When do you think that will happen?

Bashar: Being that it’s your planet, might take a few years. All right. Are you willing to believe that it’s possible?

Audience Member: Yes.

Bashar: How excited are you about exploring the idea of alternate forms of energy?

Audience Member: Very much.

Bashar: Well then, what are you doing about that? How active are you in bringing to the attention of Your World the possibility of using other forms of energy and using other forms of exchange?

Audience Member: Nothing right now. I didn’t know what I could do.

Bashar: Well, why don’t you explore that if it excites you and see what inspires you? Okay? And then you will be one of the determining factors in those things such as oil and gold, because you will realize there may be other ways to do things. And if you are inspirational enough about it, you may Inspire other people to agree with you and bit by bit things can change.

Now, in general terms, any prediction of the future is simply based on the energy that we read at the present because there’s no such thing as the future. But in general terms, you will find that things on your planet with respect to the things you’re asking about will be radically different after your year of 2033. Radically different. We cannot exactly tell you all the things that will lead up to that radical difference because some of them have been decided yet. Nevertheless, there are certain circumstances that are unfolding, and the more involved you are in what excites you will help accelerate the whole process. But the general Collective energy reading we have of your Society is that with regard to the idea of the recognition that you need to have other energy sources and other modes of exchange, you will begin to recognize that fact more solidly and begin to incorporate more examples of those differences in your Society after the year of 2033.

Purpose, Relationships, and Self-Definition

Audience Member: I’d like to ask you if you have any perceptions about a purpose that I might not be conscious of at this moment.

Bashar: You first? Fair enough. Beauty before age. You’re too kind. Is that possible? Indeed not. I am two kind and sometimes I’ve even three kind. And for kind you must be following the poker on television here through something else you want me to poke you?

Audience Member: No. No. The um perceived purpose for me is to have different realizations to unblock energy so that I’m able to follow my excitement.

Bashar: All right. More? All right. And I would rephrase that from my perspective by saying the primary objective is to realize that if you redefine the idea of how you perceive yourself, it’s not about unblocking things but redefining yourself to realize you never have been blocked. Agreed?

Audience Member: All right. And anything else? The yes. The the uh biggest excitement yes to follow is to be in a very Superior relationship with another person, a woman. Yes. And in that regard… it’s not in one sense it’s it is my choice yeah, yet it takes two to tango as we say.

Bashar: All right. Well, are you in an excellent and Superior relationship with yourself?

Audience Member: I’m in a pretty good relationship with myself.

Bashar: All right. Then I guess in your circumstance with someone else that’s also just pretty good and not Superior yet.

Audience Member: Yes.

Bashar: Yes. Does that give you a hint?

Audience Member: Yes. Yes.

Bashar: All right. And is this aient help or is it not going down the path you thought it would go?

Audience Member: No, it’s a it’s a simple reminder and that’s that’s that’s good enough. There’s no specifics necessary cu the simplest U the simplest things are often the easiest to act upon.

Communication, Fear of Being Heard, and Emotional Responses

Nania: Connie quesada sat, Ken Jolie, Beth Coke, Kenny Price, and Alana P. All right. You have your five number.

Audience Member (Namaste): I find often what I want to say doesn’t come out. So it’s in my head but the verbally the words don’t come out.

Bashar: No, you’re kidding. What an unusual circumstance. [Laughter] So I’ve thought about this in the sense that thinking what you might say to me like maybe um the people I’m talking to at the time or maybe I don’t need to say as much, but it just seems that or maybe you don’t feel that what you have to say is worth saying. That’s good in the sense that I’ve thought about that, but often I don’t feel that it’s that I feel that…

Bashar: All right. Who do you feel feels that then?

Audience Member: M. Okay. For example, okay. When this has happened, it’s been say in a classroom situation. A classroom situation. All right. I’m in school. All right. Good place to find a classroom situation. Yes. A school. All right. And so when I’ll go to ask a question, yes. Um, it’s either not understood or dismissed. And and so I’ll think okay well maybe this means for me to find out the information myself. Or or that you have a fear that you’re not being heard or understood. Right? All right. Right. And so that is simply being reflected to you. Right. Do you have a fear that you are misunderstood or not being heard or not being valued?

Audience Member: Um, well I do think about that but I try not to put a lot of stock in that in the sense that I know that I am…

Bashar: Are you sure?

Audience Member: Yes.

Bashar: By whom?

Audience Member: Well, by my by by me and by a Creator.

Bashar: All right. And so I guess the Dilemma if you will is that particularly finding myself in a school setting which I’ve created to do of course, there’s a certain amount of there’s the instructor teach in US. Yes. And then we’re the students. Yes. Can you actually give a specific example of some specific thing that you said in a specific way and what the specific response was that you got in that situation? Can you be more specific? Um, how did it come out and how was it received by those people that you felt was in your terms awkward or dismissing?

Audience Member: Okay. It was one thing that’s coming to mind is um, we were discussing about health or disease. M. And a student asked—and I actually think I asked this—is this something like um, for example, a flu? Yes. And the teacher looked right at me and said, “Don’t go there.” And then just…

Bashar: And did you ask why not?

Audience Member: Um, well it was kind of clear that he wasn’t going to go there. So and did you ask why not?

Bashar: Not at that time. No. Did you ever ask?

Audience Member: Um, I did. And and I got my answer indirectly which was which was this instructor does this a lot not only with myself but with other students. All right.

Bashar: And so you are saying that the style of that instructor is generally dismissive?

Audience Member: Yes. Well, depending on his mood if you will.

Bashar: Well, all right. Depending on his mood. So he is Moody and dismissive. He he can be. Which of course we all can be. And of course I understand that. Yes. And and so in understanding that, did that make you feel any better or help you at all?

Audience Member: It did. It took a while to see that. At first I took it quite personally.

Bashar: But then all right. Yeah. Why did you take it personally? That’s the issue.

Audience Member: Well, at the time I just didn’t. My behavior at the time wasn’t not to take it any other way. Which I’ve changed.

Bashar: Oh, all right. So that’s no longer the case then. Right. So if you were to say something like that and someone said don’t go there and we dismissive, you would no longer take it personally? Is that true?

Audience Member: Um, yes. With the exception Bashar that it’s still frustrating when I’m wanting to learn or to you know, particularly when we’re discussing a certain subject and I’m genuinely wanting to understand the material or just…

Bashar: All right. How about saying exactly what you just said? “I’m feeling frustrated by this communication in the way it’s happening because I am very interested in learning about this and I feel that this is not benefiting my ability to learn what I feel I need to learn.” How about making statements like that?

Audience Member: Right. When I have done that, yes. Um, what do you get? I kind of get it like well it’s it’s it’s more of you or maybe you need to…

Bashar: Um, all right. And do you believe that or not? Is it sometimes true and sometimes not?

Audience Member: Well, sure. I always think okay then maybe this is just my cue to really dig the information myself, which I’m more than happy to do.

Bashar: But that’s not the point. The point that’s being asked of you is, although I’m not dismissing the idea of getting the information in another way, but the point that’s being asked of you in those moments is: are you sure that the communication is not being sidetracked because of something going on in your personality makeup as opposed to something going on in their personality makeup? That’s what I don’t know.

Audience Member: All right. Yeah. Are you willing to accept the possibility that sometimes it’s you and sometimes it’s not?

Audience Member: Oh, most definitely.

Bashar: All right. Then do you feel you have the capability of telling the difference?

Audience Member: At times. I I guess I’m in the midst of it right now.

Bashar: All right. And so this whole process for you that you have created and attracted yourself to is somehow sharpening your ability to have more understanding and more clarity about what it is that you do and don’t need to know and what it is you can and cannot learn on your own in your own way.

Audience Member: Yes. Yes.

Bashar: Yes. Does that seem satisfactory to you?

Audience Member: Then it does. Bashar, if I may ask one more thing on that. I guess what goes along with that is the last time we talked I’d ask a question about having emotional responses to sometimes how people speak to us or treat us. Yes. And so first of all I know not to take it personally. All right. Okay. But secondly, sometimes I still feel the emotions just because I feel when someone is not treated well or unkindly, it’s still…

Bashar: All right. We understand that you can can have an empathic response to that concept, but generally speaking, if you feel the emotions on a personal level, you’re taking it personally. I see. Otherwise, you would not have a definition about it being personal that would allow you to experience those emotions.

Audience Member: Well, see that’s what I haven’t gotten to yet. That what would be the definition that would cause me to have that response? So I’m very aware that everyone has the right to be how they are in that moment and there’s no judgment about that. All right. But it might be only an idealized concept to you and not truly heartfelt. It might not be a truly core belief within you, although you would like it to be. You may need to do a little more work to ground it in you so securely that it’s truly part of your core makeup and not just something you’re attempting right to believe in. I see. Which comes via these experiences.

Bashar: Yes. All right. So it’s strengthening you to get that into your core definitions and not just have orbiting around on the surface somewhere as an idealized situation you would like to have, but something that truly becomes part of who you are. Or let me put it more specifically: something that you finally become aware of is actually truly part of you. Because one level of it is that you’re sensing it is truly part of you, but you’re not fully fully cognizant of how to actually allow that to manifest itself yet. And that’s what you’re working on.

Estranged Daughters and Dream Reconciliation

Audience Member: I’m in a little quandry right now.

Bashar: Oh, a little quandry. They’re so cute. Yes. I’m looking for some words of advice or suggestions.

Audience Member: Um, yes. About what? Well, um, my two daughters who are in their 30s have abandoned me.

Bashar: Abandoned you?

Audience Member: Yes.

Bashar: And um, they in what way? They do they don’t want to communicate with me. And have they ever expressed in one communication or another why they no longer want to? From problems that existed when I was newly married and they were like little babies and I sort of like became you know uh uh an abandoned father. I just was not there for them. All right. And so so to this now that I’m in a brand new relationship, yes. Uh, and and quite in love and happy. Yes. Um, I don’t know how to deal with the situation. I don’t know.

Bashar: How do you still have the ability to actually get in contact with them?

Audience Member: Yes, I do. But there’s no… they do not pick up the phone.

Bashar: Yes. How about writing them a letter?

Audience Member: I have. And through my girlfriend, her gracious kindness, she’s helped me write letters of apology to them for things that I’ve done in the past. Yes. And they just never seem to have acknowledged.

Bashar: Do you feel yourself that you have taken responsibility for your your part of the actions and that you have reconciled and are at peace within yourself about those actions?

Audience Member: Yes, I have.

Bashar: Then you have done all you can. And in that sense, it’s now up to them to decide whether or not they also want to feel the same reconciliation and peace within their own Hearts.

They may still yet be harboring the anger because it may serve them, they think, in certain ways that are beyond their capability to even see your letters as an attempt at apology and reconciliation.

But if you have done that within yourself and have at least offered them the opportunity, then they know that the opportunity is there. And you simply in that sense must know it’s all right to let them take whatever time they feel they need to take in order for them to use that pathway to reach out to you as well. And if they never do, love them enough unconditionally to let that be all right too. And know that ultimately, ultimately you’re still all a family because there’s no reason you would have been together at all in this life if you didn’t have a strong bond and connection of reflecting to each other those things you really needed to learn in order to become more of your full selves. And now you are giving them an opportunity to find more of themselves and to see if they can. But if they choose not to, well, that’s one life. There are many others.

You do communicate with each each other on the dream level. And you can actually start the reconciliation more strongly there by dreaming about communicating and talking with them and saying what you would like to say. And in your dreams and in your meditations and imaginations, hearing them say what you believe would be the most loving thing they could say that would allow you all to feel release and connection. And if you start doing it that way, you will actually start setting up at least the potential templates that they might then have the ability to access from physical reality if they are willing. But at least the templates will be there and it might make it easier for them to slide on those templates rather than feeling like they have to create that scenario from scratch. So you could lay the groundwork on the dream and Imagination and meditation level. All right? Imagine the conversation as you would like it to go and then just let it leak into the reality as serves the best of all concern without expectation that they must do that. But love them unconditionally enough to allow them to make their own choices, but put out the way in which they can find you if they are willing.

Humor, Anxiety, and Doing Your Best

Audience Member: Thank you. Good evening Bashar and are you good day. I’m very grateful. Speak up and be bold. I’m very grateful to my friend Camille for bringing me here tonight. Bashar: Oh, all right. Let’s all thank Camille. Thank you Camille. She is very grateful. And also, and we will thank Camille for bringing you. And also for your sense of humor. Is is your sense of humor coming from the fact that you’re living in your total passion and joy? [Laughter] [Applause] Yep. Because you see, we understand that there is truth in the idea that if you actually want to experience Enlightenment, all you really have to do is lighten up. Does that answer your question?

Audience Member: Uh, yes. If that was a question.

Bashar: Yes, it was a question. Um, I do have a a question um that I’m hoping that you can help me with.

Audience Member: Um, my bet is that you can.

Bashar: Oh, how much did you bet? What’s riding on this? Can we get in on a piece of the action? And who did you make the bet with?

Audience Member: I’m making it with the audience right now.

Bashar: Oh, all right. Pony up. Okay, everybody who thinks that he can help me… well, we’ll see. Put a dollar in the pot. You know, actually I can’t. You can’t? No, I can only help you help yourself.

Audience Member: Okay. That that sounds good. Oh, all right. Anyway, the situation that is um I’m having some anxiety about right now is my I have an 84-year-old mother who lives on the east coast.

Bashar: And the east coast of what?

Audience Member: Um, the east coast of the United States.

Bashar: Oh, all right. Thank you.

Audience Member: And um, she’s been a strong independent woman all her life. And this has recently changed because um, just her health has taken a turn for the worse. All right. And she’s she has a broken bone in her spine and a few other things but nothing catastrophic at the moment. Touchwood. Yes. And she’s um very much wanting me to come back and be with her. And I agree to do that. Yes. And and every day when I speak to her, she’s not believing that I am doing everything I can to get back there as fast as I can.

Bashar: And are you?

Audience Member: Yes, I am.

Bashar: All right. Well then, how come you’re still where you are?

Audience Member: Because I still have… I’ve lived in La for 20 years and I still have a lot of things to wrap up and finish. And I’m expecting it’s going to be like another month.

Bashar: Oh, all right. But it for some reason when like I spoke to her right before I uh was here with you this evening, and again she’s like… and what is it you think I can help you with?

Audience Member: Well, I get I have this tremendous feeling of anxiety in my heart about the whole situation with her. Like you know, if I could be there tomorrow I would be. But I…

Bashar: All right. Then what purpose does the anxiety serve?

Audience Member: I don’t. I well, it makes me feel very uncomfortable.

Bashar: And is that the purpose that it serves? You want to be uncomfortable?

Audience Member: No, I don’t.

Bashar: What purpose does the anxiety serve? How does it serve you?

Audience Member: Does it serve you well? According to what I’m understanding from you tonight, it must be serving me, but I’m not sure how.

Bashar: You can make a decision that it doesn’t serve you and let it go if you want, if you’re willing, if you’re capable. Do you believe that you are?

Audience Member: I’m somewhat doubtful because I tried to do that like five minutes ago.

Bashar: St, stop. Here’s the Crux of the issue. May I ask you a question? Please. Thank you. Answer as quickly and honestly as you can. Yes or no.

Are you really doing the best you can?

Audience Member: Yes.

Bashar: That’s it. The entire universe expects nothing more from you. Stop expecting more from yourself. If you’re doing the best you can, that’s all you have to do and that’s all that can be done for now.

Audience Member: I guess I feel hurt that she… I know that’s what it’s actually about. I mean, I was thinking maybe I should just tell her…

Bashar: Tomorrow. Is there any part of you that doesn’t think I’m doing the best I can to get back there as fast as I can? You can discuss it and bring out her anxieties and her fears and that will help her. And in that sense, make it seem like you are already there.

Because if you start dealing with the actual issue that you feel hurt in that sense—because you are doing the best you can and you feel hurt, not that she’s causing it, you feel hurt by the idea that she is implying you’re not doing the best you can to get there—then by discussing that, you will actually be there as best you can. Does that make sense? The difficulties are coming from what is not being said. If you say what needs to be said, there will be no difficulties. You can discuss it, deal with it, explain it, and examine it. Not that she has to listen, but the idea is that at least you will be doing the best you can and that’s all you need to do. Do you understand this?

Audience Member: Yes, I do. I think maybe what it’s addressing is there may be a core belief in myself that I believe that my best is not good enough.

Bashar: Yes. Of course. And that’s the issue between you and your mother. And that’s the button that is being pushed. But if you know you are doing the best you can, then let it go. Let me put it to you another way: Even if you’re you’re not really doing the best you can, if right now you’re doing the best you can, then let it go. Even if you’re not doing the best you can. Does that make sense to you, that paradoxical statement?

Audience Member: Yes, it does.

Bashar: Even if you’re not really doing the best you can, if you believe right now you’re doing the best you can do about that, then that’s all you can do right now. I understand that.

Holography, Integration, and Physical Symptoms

Audience Member: my question is about um holography. I’m putting together a holographic production. I realized that the production was what I was living. I’ve started to do this writing, yes, where this character, yes, named uh, Krly.

A game designer and is basically creating the dramas or Adventures for down here on Earth. And it’s part of the programming and getting people down here in back. All right. Very exciting. And gets people uh or friends there decide that she needs to come down here and experience what it really is, full immersion into the experience. Yes. Um, and and now the question is over myself.

My character feels like there’s now this integration going on between this aspect called Krly and the body part that’s here. Yes. Uh, this is natural progression.

But it feels different than just um, I don’t know. I mean, I’ve done other things with ET things like that, but this seems different and I’m not quite sure why the integration seems to be uh different.

Bashar: it is different because it has more to do with your own higher self and you becoming more of your higher self. Since it is in that sense more of you to begin with, then it will feel different than dealing in this way with any other being that is not directly actually you. Whereas this being is actually directly more of you.

Audience Member: There was an alignment that felt like being infused, yes, and anchored. Yes. Uh, and because you’re becoming more of yourself…

Bashar: So you’re becoming more grounded, more anchored, and yet at the same time more expanded. Does that… You are moving in now paradoxical ways. You see, when you become more of yourself, you become more Inward and more outward. The expansion goes in both directions. And that to some of you will feel strange and odd and different for a while until you get used to going in more than one direction holographically. Ah, that may be what you’re understanding now. You are beginning to viscerally incorporate the understanding of what it actually means to be a holographic being, which all of you are. But now you are getting more tangible sensations of what it’s actually like to exist holographically from your Earth perspective. That will tend to feel like you’re putting on sort of a strange pair of clothes until you get used to the fit. Okay? Does that make some sense?

Audience Member: Yeah. Cuz there’s been headaches and back pain and pressure. And I if you go medically they think it’s something.

Bashar: And yes, yes. Not that these cannot be from other things, but these are typical symptomologies of expanding energy through yourself and becoming more of yourself. Sometimes they are actually euphemistically referred to as channeling or pre-channeling symptoms, because it’s like the idea of suddenly having been this little garden hose all your life with a little stream of water coming through it, and now suddenly you want Hoover Dam to come through it. It’s going to stretch the hose a bit and you have to get used to the fit. And because you are a physical entity, some of that stretching will actually literally physically translate as little bits of neurological blockages and so on and so forth that need to be cleared out of the way, which may be a little uncomfortable from time to time. But let the energy flow and the more you trust, the the more you integrate, the smoother it will get. It’s simply part of a typical process of symptomology of expansion of energy into your physical system.

Audience Member: That’s good. Okay. Yes, yes. Do you like how it fits?

Audience Member: I think I’ll enjoy it settling in more.

Bashar: But I the idea, the more you use the energy, the faster it will fit. The more you apply what comes into you and flow it through you, the more quickly you will find comfort with it.

Audience Member: Maybe that’s where um it seems kind of numb and not getting much Direction on where you must move.

Bashar: In the direction of your highest excitement at every given moment for the energy to flow smoothly. Remember please, once again, when we talk about the idea of doing what excites you the most, we don’t necessarily mean it has to be a specific specific project, a specific career that you have to sit around wondering what could that be and not do anything until you find it. When we talk about doing what excites you the most, we mean literally at every given moment in your life, you have available to you at that moment any number of options of things you could do. Just pick the one that’s the most exciting that you have the greatest ability to do something about. Even if it’s just taking a walk, if that’s the most exciting thing at that moment you have the greatest ability to do something about, do it.

Because it’s the excitement that’s the thread you need to follow, not how the thing itself looks on the surface. And the next most exciting thing that comes along may appear to be no connection in any way to the thing you just did before, but if it contains the same degree of excitement, do it. Because the excitement is the thread that lets you know they are connected, not what the things look like on the surface. So when you keep doing that every moment and say, “All right, what am I able to do right now? What’s available to me? What opportunities do I have? What things can I simply choose to do?” Pick the one that’s most exciting that you have the greatest ability to do something about and do it. And the next moment do the same, and the next moment do the same, and the next moment do the same. And if you keep doing that, you will allow the energy to come through and manifest itself in an explosion of synchronicity that will bring about even more opportunities to act on. And your life will continue to accelerate in that way and get used to the energy faster.

Meditation, Crossing the Gap, and Real Estate

Audience Member: A couple of months ago you suggested that I go through a meditation process. Yes. And I’ve been doing that and having quite a bit of success.

I’m having a little bit of um of anticipation might be the right word about about part of the process. When it’s time for me to go, I can seem to only be able to go to a point comfortably, and then after that I become a little anxious about it.

Bashar: That’s all right. Take your time. Go at your own pace. When you want to stop, stop. Take a breather. When you feel like you can continue, continue. Again, you must respect the process and must respect the rate at which your own beliefs tell you to go through the process. And let all that be part of the process and let it all be all right.

Audience Member: Okay. Is there any… I I’m very um, I’m just I feel like I’m right on the edge of moving. The edge of what? The Edge of Reason? The edge of Sanity? Consciousness? The edge of reality? The edge of…

Bashar: All right. Where I all very exciting places to be. I concur. However, and I would like very much to move forward, but I feel like you are moving forward. A bridge. You are moving forward. Okay. Keep going at whatever pace is comfortable. You will keep moving forward. But let the pace be all right. The pace is all right.

Audience Member: But I feel like I can’t bridge this one next step. I’m I’m… which would be defined as what? Defined as going deeper in my meditation. I get to a point I feel like I’m going to fall asleep. Yes. But I’m told that it’s just going to a deeper level. I’m not really going to fall asleep. But it startles me because it happens so abruptly and I jump and then I lose it. So can you make a suggest?

Bashar: That’s all right. You’ll get used to it. Keep doing it. You’ll get used to it. And when you get used to it, you will make the jump and it won’t startle you. You will simply allow yourself to click into the next level. Hm. I can make one suggestion. Okay. One moment. Okay. At the moment you believe you’re approaching that jump Point, okay? Imagine yourself immersed in deep blue electromagnetic light. Okay. And breathe it in. And let that light transport you across that Gap. Okay? It’s only a momentary Gap. Let it transport you. Let it support you. Let yourself know you will be supported in the same way that water would allow you to float. You understand? Right. And just easily float across that Gap. Imagine that when you feel yourself approaching that moment. And get used to that. It will get easier. It will in a sense lubricate the passage.

Audience Member: But I’m involved in in some real estate deals right now. And they’re moving as opposed to some fake estate deals.

Bashar: Yes. As Asos opposed to fake estate deals.

Audience Member: Um, and they’re moving along just a little slower than I initially anticipated. They just like you have said your meditations are.

Bashar: Yes. Imagine yourself in that electromagnetic light and you will cross the Gap. Okay. The two are connected.
