Opening: Living in the Moment
We have no idea what we’re going to talk about. The reason I say this is to allow you to understand that when you live totally in the moment, you don’t necessarily have to plan everything out. Don’t necessarily have to lay it all out before you do it. You can, in the moment, upon the realization of what needs to be done, simply call upon your connections to the infinite to bring through whatever information is necessary at that moment. You don’t necessarily need to think about it a moment before. Just know that you will know what you need to know when you need to know it, and it will be there for you.
This connects into the idea of living fully your excitement, being present, being in the now, and knowing that you are connected to all that is in whatever way, shape, or form at any given moment you need to be, to bring through for you at that moment what you need most. Living in that trust, living in that assurance, living in that knowledge is the state of being that best reflects living your life to the fullest, living your excitement to the fullest.
Understanding Excitement
Now again, when we talk about the idea of excitement, you can use any kind of label you wish to represent that. We understand that words have different meanings in your society, and excitement in a sense can be many things to many people. It can be unconditional love, it can be joy, it can be bliss, it can be passion, it can be a peaceful state of mind. You don’t always have to be jumping up and down to be excited.
When we talk about the idea that we refer to in your language as excitement, we are simply talking about that vibrational state that represents you being in harmonious alignment with your true natural self. The process of discovering your true natural self and being that true natural self is what it’s all about in terms of having a life that allows you to experience ecstatic explosions of synchronicity and effortlessness and creativity and love and joy.
It is the willingness, the willingness to be who you really are, to discover who you really are and be that you—that willingness is all it takes to get the ball rolling, to start the momentum going, to bring into your life, to attract to you those things that are most reflective of what you need next, of what you need to look at, what you need to deal with, what you need to process in order to add that knowledge and add that experience to your being so that you can expand and expand and expand and become experientially become more of who you were already created to be.
The Process of Self-Discovery
There’s a process of self-discovery, a process of awakening, a process in a sense of remembering who you are. That’s what physical reality experience is all about—it’s making choices, it’s the ability to choose, it’s the experience that choice brings you of discovering through all the choices you make who and what you really are as this particular personality in this particular parallel reality life.
Now yes, of course the greater you—what some people may call the oversoul—obviously has a number of lives going on simultaneously in what you call parallel realities or past or future. All of those things coexist concurrently, simultaneously. But this you is unique, as all of the different versions are. All the different life experiences are, whether physical or not. Each aspect of your greater self is unique, and so even though you have many lives, this life will never happen again and has never happened before. This is the only life this you has, and so to make the most of it, to allow yourself to really experience, to really savor what this life is all about.
Freedom of Choice
The idea is that you have the freedom, regardless of what you have been taught, regardless of what you may still believe, you have the freedom at every given moment to choose who you prefer to be, how you prefer to act, what experience of life you prefer to have—that you believe is most representative of the you you are in your heart of hearts, in your deepest soul.
Now as children, many of you automatically understand what it is to live an exciting life. But of course, different belief systems that have developed within your society over time will often talk you out of continuing to live that exciting life as you grow up, as you mature. But the idea is really to learn to balance that, to learn to blend that, to learn to become a grounded adult who still understands the freedom of play, the freedom of creativity, the freedom of excitement in the way you understood it as a child.
So it is allowing yourself as an adult to rediscover how you can integrate that excitement, that childlike attitude, that childlike gratitude for every moment of the day, for a total appreciation of your life in a way that is natural, in a way that is second nature to you—actually first nature to you—so that you can know with assurance that as you move through life and as you make decisions and as you make choices, you are constantly, constantly, constantly supported in whatever choice you make, to whatever degree you are willing to make it.
You Are Always Supported by the Universe
You are never not supported by the universe. And this is the first element we wish to drive home with you with regard to the idea of living an exciting life: the understanding and the realization you are never not supported by the universe—totally. Many of you can create an experience as if you are unsupported in a variety of categories and ways, but all that is happening is you are being supported in what might be a negative belief.
The universe does not judge. All that is does not judge whatever belief you choose to experience. And if you choose to create a definition and a belief within your consciousness that says you are not supported, the universe will support you in your experience of lacking support. You are always supported, but you are only supported to the degree and in the manner your strongest belief says you are capable of being supported in. But you are supported fully in that belief, in that experience.
Every single belief, as we have said, contains in a sense a mechanism that reinforces that belief. It creates a self-fulfilling reinforcement mechanism. It has to by definition. If beliefs did not contain self-reinforcing mechanisms, you would not be able to have discrete experiences in physical reality. You would not be able to have a particular experience of a particular belief without other beliefs leaking in.
Changing Beliefs
This is, to some degree, one of the things you are learning to transform: the idea that you can have an overriding belief, an overriding belief that colors all other beliefs—that beliefs are easy to change. Instead of an overriding belief that beliefs are difficult to change, the overriding belief that beliefs are difficult to change is part of the paradigm of the belief itself that is there so it will be reinforced, so you can have that experience that the belief creates.
But now, in your age of transformation, you are learning you can replace that overriding belief, that program, that equation with another one: that beliefs are easy to change. So that you can simultaneously, shall we say, experience to whatever degree you wish any particular individual distinct and discrete belief, but at the same time always leave yourself a key to unlock from that belief should you desire to do so when you are done with that scenario.
The Malleability and Flexibility of Children
This, in some sense, is the malleability, the flexibility that is required—as children have it—to shift very quickly from belief to belief to belief to belief, from experience to experience to experience to experience, creating a life that can go at any given moment in any direction whatsoever. So that you understand that every single moment is a zero moment and is absolutely not connected to the moment that was there before it unless you believe it is.
And that’s the key. At every moment you have the absolute and total ability to reinvent yourself, redefine yourself wholly, completely, and become a completely different person.
Breaking Continuity Creatively
That is another thing that it helps to begin to realize fully when it comes to living a life of high excitement: that every single moment you actually are literally a different person, and the person that was there a moment ago is not the same person. And even though you may look in a mirror and see what you think is the same face that was there a moment ago, that is just an illusion of continuity that you are creating for convenience sake, so that you will not be deemed crazy or insane by your fellow members of society.
But you could create such a distinct difference in the person from moment to moment that when you look in the mirror, you would actually see a different face every single time you look.
Some of this ability has been demonstrated—as you say in your language, scientifically, medically—in cases of what you call multiple personality, where you can actually have one personality that actually has a particular physical condition such as a cancerous tumor, but when they switch to another personality, the tumor is nowhere to be found, instantaneously transforming because this personality never had cancer—it’s not that reality anymore.
That this can be done by individuals exhibiting multiple personality disorder shows you what kind of capabilities you actually have. And if you can, as you say, get a handle on transformation to that degree, and at the same time know that it doesn’t have to be out of control, then you can also make the same kind of transformation instantaneously in any way, shape, or form you wish.
You Are Already Doing This
When you begin to understand that that’s what you’re already doing anyway from moment to moment, then you can with more conscious and more intention guide the transformational change from moment to moment in the direction of your preference, in the direction of your excitement.
Remember, that’s what it’s all about. It’s not about learning how to do these things—you already know how to absolutely and completely and utterly do all these things: create any reality every moment, transform instantaneously, let go of one belief and latch on to another instantaneously from moment to moment to moment. You’re doing it all the time.
The issue is not learning how to transform. The issue is awakening to the choices you are making of what you transform from and to. Because you can create a sense of continuity in the beliefs that you choose that make it seem as if from moment to moment nothing much has changed, when in fact from moment to moment everything has changed. You are a completely different person and a completely different reality—literally. Take me literally. Every single moment that you experience any change at all, it’s a total change, a complete change. You exist as a different person in a different universe, utterly, utterly.
So you don’t have to worry about learning how to do that. It’s automatically built into your creatorhood. That’s what you do. You can’t help yourself but create moment to moment a new universe. You are made in the image of all that is, and all that is is constantly creating new ideas, new perspectives, new universes, constantly shifting its consciousness simultaneously and concurrently from every different possible perspective, and that’s exactly what you’re doing too.
The Illusion of Physical Reality
But you have created an idea, a notion, a system of definitions, a system of beliefs that define a particular experience you call physical reality on Earth, and you have set up certain guidelines, certain parameters that you’ve all agreed to abide by to make it seem as if you are not doing all the things we are talking about.
Now again, as an example, you talk about the idea—or your scientists talk about the idea—that you only use 10% of your brain. No, you use 100%, but you use 100% to make it seem as if you’re only using 10%. That’s what you’re doing. You’re creating an experience of only using 10% of your brains with 100% of your brains.
So waking up to that fact is what will allow you to realize you can change the percentage anytime you wish, anytime you wish. Because all you’re doing from moment to moment is saying, “I choose 10%, I choose 10%, I choose 10%, I choose 10% again, I choose 10% again, I choose 10% again. Why? Because I said I have to. Why? Because I said I have to. Why? Because I said I have to.” That’s all you’re doing. You’re creating an illusion of continuity with your choices.
You can break the continuity.
The Unknown Is Not Something to Fear
Now, I understand again, because of belief systems within that particular paradigm, that the idea of breaking continuity can be scary because of the way you define the concept of breaking continuity. But what this is all about is learning to break continuity creatively. This is all artists do anyway. You’re all artists. You’re all geniuses.
The idea of there being a fine line between genius and insanity is exactly this issue. The individuals on your planet that you call insane or have psychological disorders like the multiple personality disorder we recently mentioned—the only difference is that they are not aware of what they are doing in such a way that they can apply it creatively. They’re not breaking their continuity intentionally and consciously. This is all about doing the same thing but doing it intentionally and consciously and artistically and creatively. That’s the only difference, and that’s why you recognize instinctively, intuitively, that there’s a very fine line between genius and madness.
Because the idea of going from genius into madness is simply an idea of creating a belief system that allows you to forget that you are capable of breaking your continuity at will. And when you impose upon yourself the belief system that you are not breaking your continuity by choice, then you experience the thing called madness or disorder. But when you understand that you are breaking your continuity by will, by choice, then you have genius and artistry and creativity. That’s the only difference. It’s an issue of understanding how to break your continuity by choice and liking it, enjoying it, and not being afraid of it.
Making Friends with the Unknown
It’s all about making a friend of the unknown, making friends with the unknown, allowing the unknown to be a place of excitement and surprise and discovery rather than a place of fear, rather than something to run from, rather than something to hide from. It’s a place to go toward. The unknown is where you will discover all the rest of yourself. That’s where the rest of you is—in the unknown.
So you want to develop a willingness, a willingness not just to crawl there, not just to walk there, but to run there. Run to the unknown. Embrace the unknown. It only contains more of you. That’s all the unknown ever contains—more of you, more ability to discover more of you.
If it’s scary, that’s an opportunity to get in touch with the belief systems that make it seem scary, because it’s only your definition of the unknown that creates the experience of fear. There is nothing about the unknown itself that generates fear. Only your definition of it generates the experience of fear. That’s all it is. It’s the only thing that works that way.
Magic and Breaking Continuity
So embracing the unknown, making choices at will to break your continuity creatively, will begin to allow you to truly experience what you have for a long time called magic—where one moment does not necessarily have to appear connected to the next, where your space-time reality begins to get very slippery, and you can all of a sudden, if you have not already begun, experience such things as winding up somewhere and having no idea exactly how you could possibly have gotten there, getting somewhere in an amount of time that heretofore would have been impossible to get there in, and all sorts of experiences like that where you suddenly realize that you can do without some of the intervening continuity moments.
The ideas of teleportation, the ideas themselves of shifting in time, the idea of expanding your awareness to many different lives and parallel dimensions of reality, all come from the willingness to break your continuity creatively.
Physical Reality Is an Illusion
Now up to this time in your history, it hasn’t necessarily served you to do that except perhaps now and then in a very random way when it served some particular purpose in some particular person’s life. But now in this day and age, the idea itself that you are in a day and age of transformation allows you to consider many more options, many more possibilities of what you can experience physical reality to be.
Physical reality is very flexible, very malleable. Remember, it’s just an illusion. It’s just a mirror. It only reflects back what you give off. So just as your reflection in the mirror really has no substance, physical reality itself really has no substance and is in that sense a true will-o’-the-wisp. It will take its form only from what you believe it to be, only from the solidity you impart to it with your definitions and your meanings and your beliefs. It is no more substantial than that—no more substantial than your idea of it.
What is real is your experience. That’s reality. Experience is reality. Reality is experience—not the things that are the props of the experience. The experience itself is who you actually are, is what you actually are. You are consciousness experiencing itself from all the perspectives it can. That’s what creation is—consciousness experiencing itself from all the perspectives it can. That’s it. That’s what reality is.
Ascension and Expansion
When you begin to get a handle on that, when you begin to be willing to break your continuity with that intention in mind, you open up a myriad of possibilities that heretofore were not experienceable in physical reality because you are redefining physical reality itself.
We have long said, and we will repeat this if necessary, we have long said the process of shifting, the process of ascending from one dimension or one reality to another, is the process of realizing that you actually are the reality you previously thought you existed in.
I’ll say it again. The whole concept of ascending, the whole concept of moving from one reality level, one dimension, one density to another, is the result of realizing that you actually are the reality itself that you previously thought you existed in.
So what we are saying is: you don’t exist in physical reality—you are physical reality. It is you. It’s just an extension of your consciousness. It’s just an experience in your consciousness. When you recognize fully that there is no physical reality except for your experience of it, and that that’s what reality is, that is what allows you to experience an expansion of your idea of reality as you experience an expansion of your idea of yourself. And that’s what allows you to have the experience you call ascension or advancement or growth or expansion.
Does that make sense to you? Is there someone to whom it does not make sense? All right. Would you like me to explain more clearly in some specific way what I have just said? Just repeat what you said. All right. All right.
Right now most of you imagine or have been taught to believe that physical reality is a place in which you exist. You understand—you are being taught that physical reality is a dimension and that somehow you as an individual exist inside that dimension. But you don’t. The dimension exists inside you. It’s just an idea. There is actually nothing out there. There is no “out there.” That’s an illusion. It’s a projection. It’s all going on inside your consciousness.
Does that make sense? So when you understand that you are not in physical reality, that physical reality is in you—that awareness in and of itself, that moment of being aware of that, in and of itself is the experience of expansion and ascension to a different level.
Does that make sense? Does that help clarify it sufficiently, or is there something else you wish to explore about this concept before we go on?
Well, I guess. All right, but you understand the concept. I do understand. That’s a beginning. That’s a beginning. And we understand that you’re not going to let go of it completely because you still do want to have an experience of physical reality. We are not necessarily saying that you absolutely have to suddenly find yourself floating in the middle of a black void with nothing around you in order to understand you are changing your reality moment to moment. What we are simply saying however is that you can understand that since you’re changing your reality moment to moment anyway, it can really be anything you want it to be because it’s only coming from within you anyway.
Does that make sense? All right. So we’re not saying you will necessarily completely give up the idea of the experience of being in physical reality. We are simply saying that when you realize that physical reality is within you, then your experience of being in physical reality can be almost anything you want it to be.
Make sense? Yes.
Moving at Your Own Pace
Now, the other thing that you will all tend to do is, of course, you will do this changing, you will do this transforming, you will change your physical reality experience at a rate that you believe and in a way that you believe is not only comfortable for you but in a way that makes sense for all the people you are connected to in your life, because you want to retain some degree of the experience of continuity in order to have the experience and share the experience.
You follow me? Yes. So you will move at a rate, you will do it in a way that best suits you, best serves you, and best serves all those around you with whom you have made agreements to move forward with at a certain pace. So some of you, let’s say within any particular group arrangement, may move a little bit faster than others—may change your reality a little bit more quickly, a little bit more effortlessly. Some may change a little less quickly, a little less effortlessly. But within that old family group, within that whole arrangement, you will generally move together at a certain rate, at a certain pace that benefits you all, because that’s the agreement you have made—is to help each other learn to do that by reflecting to each other what is going on within the group with regard to changing your reality, so that each member can decide for themselves how and how fast to change their reality or to be aware of the changes they can make.
So some of you will do that as well, and that will form a kind of a regulating speed for how you do it. That does not mean however that you are limited by that. At any moment you can change your idea of what you want to do with regard to those agreements, and you can go a little bit farther ahead and come back—you can do anything you want. Anything you want. Choice is always available to you.
Conversations with God and Choice After Death
We have talked about before, and we know many of you are familiar with a series of books that exists on your planet called “Conversations with God.” Yes. In what you call the latest book, there is an understanding and an explanation that fully illustrates what we are talking about in terms of having choice at every moment. It is explained very clearly in that book that even after you physically die, you still have a choice to not go on into spirit but to pick up your physical life where you left off and continue. You do not have to physically die until you want to.
This immediately, of course, in many of you brings up the question: “Well, if you can always come back, then why didn’t so-and-so come back?” Because they were done. Because they made a choice to go on. But you are always given a choice to actually continue the life that you just died in. You may or may not choose to remember that that’s what happened. Those that might choose to remember or experience some idea that something different is going on may remember it as some kind of a continuity glitch or a dream about dying and then suddenly waking up and going, “Well, that was just a dream,” when in fact it may have actually happened in physical reality and you died and were given a chance to simply go back and pick up where you left off and only remember having died as a dream, so that you retain some idea of the experience but not in a way that interrupts the flow of physical reality you wish to continue.
You do not even have to physically die if you don’t want to. Even though you may die, and even though many of you have actually physically died many times, you may not know that you have. You have choice at every moment—every moment, even after death—to not die, to continue that life if you want to, or to go on to something else. You are that free.
Freedom of Choice
And many of you have exercised that option a few times. Sometimes when you are in what appears to be an approaching accident and you think there is no possible way we could get out of this, but then suddenly you find that somehow you got out of it—you may realize that you didn’t get out of it, you died and then simply reconstructed your life on the other side of the accident. You are that free.
That’s what we mean by freedom of choice. It doesn’t matter even if you die—you still have freedom to choose what you would like to do from that point forward. So don’t worry about it. Don’t worry about the idea that you have to hurry up and get everything done by a certain time, that you need to finish this before you die. If you don’t, you can come back and still finish it in the same life as the same person. So you think, in effect, it will seem to be the same life—of course it’s not, it’s a parallel reality by definition—but you won’t know the difference because you’re creating a continuity in order to have an experience as if you did not die. That’s how free you are with your choices. That’s how powerful you are.
Knowing all of this and applying it to your life on a daily basis is what will allow you to really begin to feel in your soul, in your heart, in your bones, in every cell of your being, in every fiber of your body—really begin to feel what it means to be free to choose.
You are unlimited beings except for the experience of limitation you impose upon yourself. But you impose the experience of limitation on yourselves from your unlimited self. You can experience anything, everything. It simply depends upon your agreements, your beliefs, your definitions. That’s all.
But this is the time on your planet now that you have decided it is time to wake up, that it is time to become aware of these abilities, time to become awake to more of yourself. And that’s why we have the ability to discuss this with you. That’s why you have the ability to implement these ideas and experience this magic in your lives, to see that life is this fluid, this flexible, this magical, this unlimited. Guaranteed 100%—not because I say so, but because that’s the way the universe is. That’s the way it’s structured. This is the great gift that creation has given to all the creations within it. You are that free. You are that powerful. You are made in the image of creation. That’s what it means. You are a spark of creation and have all the same abilities within whatever you deem to be your reality. You are that free, and now you’re coming to that realization.
Rewiring the Brain - The Equation
One of the ways that we would like to assist you in coming to this realization, in giving yourself more awareness that you have these abilities, is a technique that we would like to refer to as rewiring the brain.
You see, every thought you have actually rewires your neurological pathways in your brain. But when you create a belief system that perpetuates or repeats a certain experience—when you continue to choose a similar experience over and over and over again—what you also create in your neurological pathways is a kind of a feedback loop. And this feedback loop, like a belief system, becomes self-reinforcing, so that you only experience that automatically over and over and over again until you break the cycle.
This idea now of breaking that cycle, breaking your continuity creatively, will be expressed in an exercise more specifically in an equation that will allow you to stop short-circuiting yourself in a feedback loop and will allow you to complete the circuit and ground yourself into an ability to manifest what you prefer instead of getting caught up in this feedback cycle of continuing to choose what you don’t prefer.
The Three Sentences
We will discuss and describe this equation to rewire your brain and complete the circuit in a moment, but first we would like to share with you questions and answers to make sure that what we have discussed up to this point is clear.
Here is what you can write down if you wish. And when I say “fill in the blank,” that just simply means whatever emotion you wish to transform, whichever emotion you wish to neutralize. You don’t even have to fill that in right now—you can actually put a blank or a line to represent whatever emotion you might want to experience in this equation later.
Write down:
“I feel blank.”
“And I feel blank because I choose to.”
“And I choose to because I believe it serves me to.”
So there’s three sentences there:
- I feel blank.
- And I feel blank because I choose to.
- And I choose to because I believe it serves me to.
Now this seems very simple, but it is deceptively powerful. When you find yourself in a situation where for example you say “I feel sad” or “I feel frustrated” or “I feel angry,” complete the entire equation:
“I feel angry. I feel angry because I choose to. I choose to because I believe it serves me to.”
When you take that thought all the way out to its logical conclusion, you are allowing yourself to touch in and represent all the stages of the creation of that emotion, and you’re rewinding it and unfolding it and exposing the underlying structure that created that emotional experience. You’re making it transparent, and you’re putting yourself back in charge of having chosen that experience, and that will neutralize it.
When you say this often enough, you get into that pattern of saying this equation every single time you feel something you don’t prefer. Understand—we are not talking about denying the feeling. We are not talking about glossing it over. We’re talking about owning it, acknowledging it, accepting it, because you cannot change what you do not own. But you are recognizing that you are choosing it, and you are understanding that you are choosing it because you believe it serves you.
And when you lay out the entire equation that way, you will begin to find that it will immediately or very quickly neutralize the emotional sensation. You’ll be back to zero, and then you can begin to explore what belief and what definition you may have about your relationship to the situation that would allow you to choose to feel that way in relation to whatever it is that’s happening.
Again, it’s an extremely apparently simple tool, but its effects will be profound on your neurological wiring.
The Next Step
“I feel blank. I feel blank because I choose to. And I choose to because I believe it serves me to.”
When you have laid those three sentences out, the next thing that will happen in the automatic section of the neurology of your brain will be the question: “Why on Earth would I choose to do that? Why on Earth would I believe this serves me?” And that will start the ball rolling for your investigation of what it is in your belief system that would make you believe it actually serves you to feel that way, to have that kind of a relationship with whatever is going on in your life, to have that kind of a definition.
It will put you in the proper place in your brain that will automatically trigger the question and bring up your curiosity to allow you to dive down and find out what the heck that belief could possibly be. That’s what this exercise is actually designed to do. It’s designed to take advantage of the neurological wiring that exists in your brain in such a way as to put you in touch with your ability to automatically wonder why you’re doing what you’re doing and to begin to explore the reasons for that and to illuminate for yourself the definitions that are causing the emotion to be experienced.
It creates a larger kind of loop, a larger kind of circuit, a larger kind of higher vibrational self-fulfilling, self-building, self-creating, self-manifesting, self-perpetuating prophecy and experience for you in your life. It turns the small closed circuit of negative experience into a large spiral circuit of positively perpetuating expansive synchronicity and self-discovery and investigation.
Practice the Equation
So remember those three sentences, and anytime you find yourself feeling a certain way that is uncomfortable for you, own it. All right? Yes. “Yes, I feel this. I’m not going to deny it. I own it. I acknowledge it. I am feeling this, and I am feeling this because I choose to, and I choose to because I believe it serves me.”
Now, “How the heck is that possible? How does it serve me? How do I think this serves me? What would I have to believe is true in order for me to believe this serves me to feel this way?” And you will begin by having that internal dialogue start. You will begin to find answers bubbling up in your imagination. Just be open. Don’t be afraid. Be willing to let those answers come up.
And if you find in that process that you are afraid of what answers you might find, then take the process over again from that point and say the three sentences again and bootstrap yourself all the way along the circuit until you find it completes itself to the point where you are willing—where you are willing to allow whatever answers will bubble up to bubble up.
Remember, this is where you begin to make a friend of the unknown, because you’re going to discover through this process that the only thing that exists in the unknown is more of you—you. That’s all that’s there. It’s all that’s ever been there. All that is there now. All that ever will be there is you. And you will discover that that you is the same as the all that is. That it is you. That you are it. It is both. It is neither. And that is the mystery of the experience of life.
The power of paradox is where you wish to come from to experience the breaking of your continuity creatively. The power of paradox is where you are at the center of yourself between what seem to be contradictory and opposing ideas, but which obviously by definition must both have emanated from the center of your being or you would not be experiencing what appears to be paradoxical ideas. So somewhere within you they are actually one thing that you have created to seem to be two opposing things. Standing in the center of what appears to be two opposing things will allow you to begin to understand the actual commonality between them, how they are reflections of each other in a different way than you may think, and it will teach you much about the power of your creativity and your ability to break your continuity creatively.
So those three sentences get the ball rolling. They will literally, as you say them over and over again, literally change the wiring in your brain until it becomes what you call second nature to think that way, to see yourself that way. And when it becomes second nature, you will find that less and less and less and less will you be feeling frustration and anger and sadness and doubt. You will instead find that you will very immediately only be feeling joy and creativity and excitement and love and peace and curiosity and mystery and profundity and gratitude.
Not that the others are of any less value, because they all serve a purpose. They are all valid. This is all about validating every portion of yourself. Remember, expansion is the process of inclusion, not exclusion. The farther you go into the light, the more aware of the darkness you’re able to become. It doesn’t mean you have to choose it, but you become more aware of the choices you have on both sides. But just look at them as choices. That’s all they are.
Remember, physical reality is all about choices. And just because you may become more aware of what you may call negative choices or dark choices doesn’t mean you have to experience them. In fact, the more willing you are to become more aware of them, the less you need to experience them because you’re allowing them to be equally valid to any choice you could make. And when they become equally valid to any choice you could make, then all choices being equal, you are then effortlessly capable of choosing what you prefer without invalidating what you don’t prefer. It just becomes a recognition that that’s simply not where you live anymore.
You live in this house now, not that house. That doesn’t mean that’s a bad house. It served you well. It brought you to the ability—it brought you to the place where you can now choose this house. So bless it, love it, keep it, own it, but leave it in its place. It’s a place you no longer live, but someone else may still be using that neighborhood, and bless them for experiencing those things you have experienced, knowing that they are also going up the ladder in their own way in their own time.
Make it all equal, and you will have equal ability to choose anything you wish, anything at all.
The Value of People and True Wealth
We will explore this further and also get back into examining different ideas and perspectives through questions and sharing after your break. By all means, enjoy your refreshment, and we will continue this transmission afterwards.
[Break]
All will say—let us continue with the transmission. First of all, we would like to begin by asking you to meditate on not meditating. There’s that paradox thing again. Now we are to some degree playing with you, but the point of that is from a basic level we wish to remind you that living a life of excitement is also fundamentally about simply appreciating what there is all around you, starting from a simple foundation of nature, what your world is like rather than for the moment what it can be like, because there is great beauty on your planet.
We understand that there can be and also is also harshness, but there is also beauty. And if you will take the time in your desire to live a fulfilled life, a fulfilling life, a life of high excitement, to also be at peace within the nature around you—take a moment just to appreciate what you have as a beautiful planet—that will go a long way toward increasing your experience of the world that you prefer, increasing and heightening and enhancing your experience of excitement.
And as you appreciate more and more every day the world that is around you, you yourselves—your vibration—will also appreciate, and that is in other words rise in vibration. So you can experience the value of yourself. It is no accident that you use the word “appreciate” to describe the raising in value of an object or of money on your planet, because it has to do with the recognition that that vibration can grow, can become enriched.
And you can allow yourself to understand that you yourself are a medium of exchange. Even though you will have the symbolic form of money on your planet for a while yet, you will begin to use it differently in time. You will begin to base your money not on gold, not on objects, but on people—on the value of people, on the value of a nation’s wealth, of a world’s wealth, of people’s abilities. And basing the value of your money on the value of people’s abilities directly will allow you to expand and make available to many people around the world both opportunities and gifts and services that heretofore have not been possible for you to be capable of accessing or offering.
Because when you base your medium of exchange on the value of the people of a world, you will soon realize that all barriers, all borders need to dissolve in order for that system to work. And you will understand that it is worth dissolving those barriers and those borders because the increase, the rate of increase at which your money will actually appreciate by basing it on the value of the people on the planet, will be exponentially larger than any value it could attain by basing it on gold or some other object of artificial valuation.
The only true value you have in your world is the people and the world itself. Even though you may deem certain objects or materials to be valuable, and we are not saying they aren’t—all of that comes from you. You decide what is valuable. Just because you say gold is valuable is what makes it so. By itself, of course, it has attributes, it has properties, it has many advantageous attributes that you can utilize in a variety of ways, and you can say that has value. But it is still determined utterly by you, because obviously there are such things as societies that do not value the same things in the same way.
But all societies recognize that if they do not value their people, the society begins to collapse rapidly, and nothing works—even if you set up a perfect system of monetary exchange based on an unlimited supply of any material you believe is valuable—that system only works when the people in the system are also given value, because it takes its cue of appreciation from you and how you appreciate yourselves.
Abundance and Self-Appreciation
Abundance and the experience of abundance is the experience of appreciating the self and appreciating others. That is why you see on your planet that when people follow their dreams in the form of projects or businesses, the most successful ones are the ones in which the creator appreciates him or herself and also appreciates other people in recognizing that the way the business is most successful is by being of best service to others. And anytime a business is structured around being of service to others, it succeeds. And anytime a business is structured by someone who is in full appreciation of themselves, it succeeds. Those two components make for successful business and make for the appreciation of true wealth in a society—the wealth of the people.
You are the wealth of your world. Appreciate yourselves, and your reality will reflect that appreciation in a variety of ways, creatively, abundantly—any form that is appropriate for you at any given moment will be reflected back to you based on the level at which you are willing to appreciate yourself. Raise your vibration. Value yourself. It all takes its cue from you.
You are the coin of the realm. Cash in on yourselves. Invest in yourselves. Draw interest in yourselves. All those terms apply to you, not just your money, because you are the money. You are the coin. And like a coin, you have heads, you have tails, you have light, you have dark, you have polarity. It takes two sides to make a coin. Without both, there is no coin and nothing can be spent. Appreciate both aspects of your polarity. Bring them both into a state of balance. There’s that business term again—balance. Balance your books. Balance your worth. Balance your value. And you will be astonished at how rapidly you will gain a variety of forms of abundance, a variety of forms of wealth, a variety of forms of expression and creativity and ability to interact and exchange in a variety of ways heretofore unconceived on your planet.
And your world can also, this way, eventually become an ecstatic explosion of orchestrated synchronicities. We know it can be done because we live it every day. We know you can do it because we can see the real you, and we know who you really are—regardless of what you may spend time convincing yourself otherwise. We know who you really are, what you are capable of, and what you actually do every day in terms of your levels of creativity. And we simply remind you of who you are so that you can learn to appreciate yourselves more and more fully.
In some ways, this is really—if you stop to think about it—just common sense. But of course, paradoxically once again, we understand that on your planet common sense isn’t very common. However, it can become more so. And again, listen to the synchronicity—monetary metaphor: common sense. It still has to do with money and valuing yourself.
As you gain in a typical common-sense, grounded appreciation of the world in which you have created yourself to experience life, then that will bind you together in a common connection that will increase your value to each other and to yourselves. Common sense—both in the vernacular of cents and dollars and cents—and as you appreciate common sense and ground yourself in the common sense of appreciating the world you have at your fingertips all around you all the time, then that will bind you together in a common form of self and mutual evaluation and valuation that will allow you all to appreciate together. Make sense?
[Break for Q&A]
Based now on what we have said prior to the break and now with regard to the new equation that allows you to diffuse and neutralize the feedback loop of the negative and bring it into the spiral of the positive, and remembering all that and applying all that at your own pace in your own way to the best of your ability, we may continue for a while with exchange if you wish—questions and answers.
Q&A Session
Question 1: The Chironic Wound (Wounded Healer)
Questioner: Bashar, I’ve always wanted to say that—ahoy, matey! I’ve come out from behind the camera to ask you this question today because your subject matter seems particularly attuned to the primary issue of my life. I am told by another channeled entity who goes by the name “Friend”—whom I believe you know—that I came into this life with what’s known as the Chironic wound. Is this something you’re familiar with?
Bashar: We understand it by different nomenclatures, yes.
Questioner: Another terminology that applies to this would be “wounded healer.”
Bashar: Yes.
Questioner: My understanding of this is that the idea of the Chironic wound comes out of Greek mythology. Chiron was a centaur who was an immortal being and a master healer and master herbologist. Zeus asked him to make the perfect poison which had no antidote and was invariably fatal. Somehow Chiron got himself poisoned by his own perfect poison. Being an immortal being, he could not die, but he couldn’t heal himself either. So he was in the misery of the poison, and even though he was a master healer, could not come up with an antidote because it was a perfect poison.
Bashar: What we have also called the watermelon seed phenomenon. When you squeeze a watermelon seed between two fingers to the point where it has no choice but to go in a new direction by shooting out from between them—can’t go up, can’t go down, must go this way. This also connects to this particular mythology. Can’t go this way, can’t go that way, must go that way. Must move in a new direction to survive and heal.
Questioner: The manifestation of this in my life can be characterized by the following statement: no matter what I do, no matter how hard I try or work or endeavor, I cannot catch a break. I cannot succeed. I cannot be effective in the realization of my dreams. And I have very, very big dreams.
Bashar: Maybe you should reduce the scope of the dreams a little bit.
Questioner: I don’t want to.
Bashar: Why not?
Questioner: Because I’m not interested in a second choice, a second place, a fallback position.
Bashar: Well, let me put it this way: I’m doing a kind of shadow version of my dreams. I make videos. I understand. Yes. And what I really feel that I want to be doing is writing and directing major motion pictures. I make video stuff, so it’s definitely a reflection of that kind of activity, but not on the scale that I want to do it. Not in the subject matter that I want to do it.
Bashar: Nevertheless, it is of the same ilk and can be treated with the same energy, so as to allow that as a seed to expand into something bigger.
Questioner: The Chironic wound is kind of like an overriding belief, so overriding that even the efforts that I make to change my core beliefs fail. The overriding belief is that no matter what I do, I can’t succeed. And so if that applies to my efforts to change core beliefs, I’m unable to change core beliefs too, which means I’m unable to change the Chironic wound belief.
Bashar: And how does it serve you to believe that that can’t be changed?
Questioner: I don’t have an answer for that.
Bashar: You do need to explore that particular avenue, though.
Questioner: I have looked at it and I recognize that there’s all manner of endeavor and exploration that is valid here in this reality, and this is probably the only reality where a belief and life story of that nature could be explored and really, really understood. And I know that many people explore far more devastating life stories than I have. I mean, I still have a roof over my head, although I’m on the brink of homelessness all the time.
Bashar: You know, on the brink—yes. I mean, I’m on the brink. I get to the point of the brink. The brink of destitution, the brink of—I don’t have an answer for that.
Bashar: Yes, you do. What is the name of your story?
Questioner: “The Brink of Tomorrow.”
Bashar: Sure. “The Brink of Tomorrow.” Yes. Your answer lies there.
Questioner: But see, that’s not instructive to me.
Bashar: No, because of the way you are looking at it.
Questioner: I know that I have more looking at to do, and that’s what I’m trying to do.
Bashar: It’s not more looking—it’s different looking that is required.
Questioner: Well, if I do different looking, that requires more looking than I’ve already done.
Bashar: Yes. But not more of the same.
Questioner: I would say that’s true because so far my looking has not been effective. I haven’t come up with an answer. I’m still looking. That’s why I’m asking this.
Bashar: So it needs to be a different kind of looking—a different way of looking at the situation than you have been.
Questioner: I’m open to suggestion.
Bashar: All right. “Brink of Tomorrow” was one suggestion, but obviously not strong enough for the way you are looking at it.
Questioner: Well, one way to interpret that phrase—of course that’s the title of my novel—the character in the story has a reason for hiding from the public.
Bashar: Right. There is no accident that you structured the story the way you did, because there are elements—even though not the same elements—there are elements of the character situation that mirror what you feel about yourself or what you feel others will feel about you if you do in fact go public in the way you wish.
Questioner: I have no doubt of that.
Bashar: A big clue lies there then. And looking at yourself differently in the way that it is achieved at the end of your story is a key for you to begin a new story for yourself, so that you do not have the fear that others will see you in the way that you fear they might if you go public.
Questioner: I don’t feel that fear myself. I’m not in touch with that.
Bashar: I know you’re not in touch with it, but the reason that you put that story in words is so you could—in the easiest way for you intellectually—put it all out right in front of you, right in front of your face, so you could read it and absorb it in the way that you’re used to looking at things intellectually. So it’s all there. You created your own mythology, your own Chironic story, for you to learn from. In really looking at that story and putting yourself in the main character’s position metaphorically, you will learn a lot about what you need to do to look at yourself differently, or look at how you think the world will look at you differently.
Questioner: This is not totally ringing true to me because his affliction was really serious, and it was—
Bashar: Yours is too. It’s just not the same kind.
Questioner: It’s not physical.
Bashar: I said it wasn’t the same kind. But it is nonetheless a metaphor for how you believe people may react to you.
Questioner: I don’t see it.
Bashar: I know you don’t. That’s why you really need to look deeper into the story.
Questioner: I don’t believe that looking into the story will reveal what is in me that I’m…
Bashar: And so you’re not even willing to give it a shot.
Questioner: Not a matter of not being willing—I just don’t see it.
Bashar: You don’t believe it. You said, “I don’t.” How about do believe it and see what happens? If you believe it might actually help you, if you read the story in the belief it might actually reveal something to you, it will. If you read the story not believing it will reveal anything to you about the situation, of course it won’t.
Questioner: Well, this is your own Chironic paradox.
Bashar: I conceived this story over two decades ago, and I kind of have the feeling that I pretty much explored the darn thing.
Bashar: Obviously not all the way through, or we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
Questioner: Except that it’s possible that you have taken this particular approach and it’s not necessarily applying as thoroughly to me as you’d like to think it is.
Bashar: You’re entitled to believe that.
Questioner: I’ll certainly look into it. It’s just very difficult for me to see that I have what the problem that he had because I don’t have the physical problem.
Bashar: So you cannot relate the physical metaphor to the idea of a belief system or emotional one—the fear of how people will see you.
Questioner: One of the clues to the difference is the fact that I’m sitting here in front of a bunch of people talking in a broad manner, and I have done public speaking, so I do put myself in front of people.
Bashar: But you are talking about putting yourself in front of people on a different scale. He put himself in front of people in a sense by at least allowing them to hear his voice, and that’s what this is equivalent to for you. But you’re talking about the equivalent of allowing himself to be seen in public, which is the idea you’re talking about—about the grander vision you have of how you wish the public to see you. That’s the equivalency.
Questioner: Let me shift gears for a second. Go back to the Chironic wound. As I understand that story, the resolution for Chiron was that Zeus took pity on him and elevated him to the level of God, and thereby relieved him of his affliction. So I’m thinking, if I have this Chironic wound deal, I don’t have a Zeus to come.
Bashar: Yes, you do.
Questioner: Where is Zeus?
Bashar: Who is Zeus? You are.
Questioner: Ah! But if I have the belief that no matter what I do I can’t be effective in my efforts, then I can’t even be effective as my own Zeus.
Bashar: That’s a belief. Well, you have to examine why you have the belief that you cannot be effective as your own Zeus.
Questioner: I think I have that belief because I came in wanting to explore it and I so far have not come up with the key to resolving it.
Bashar: Remember when we said in the past that the whole idea of what is called on your planet karmic debt is simply the realization that karma is self-imposed, and the realization that karma is self-imposed completely erases the concept of karmic debt. I do recall that. That applies here. The idea that you may have come in with the concept of the Chironic wound or the so-called karmic debt—all it really requires is your ability to understand that if it is self-imposed, then you can be your own Zeus and realize it has nothing to do with you anymore as soon as you say it doesn’t, as soon as you really believe it doesn’t.
Questioner: I understand. I have been through that very train of thought numerous times.
Bashar: Train of thought is not the same as really holding the belief.
Questioner: I understand that as well. My understanding of it is intellectual. I understand it very well intellectually. I know getting it to be understood emotionally and viscerally and at the belief level—that’s where the problem comes in, because it’s a vicious cycle of belief that I can’t do it, and therefore that belief reinforces my inability to put that belief aside, to change that belief. It’s incredibly frustrating and discouraging.
Bashar: Well, one of the reasons we provided the tool we provided today is to see if it will help with situations like this in many of you. So apply the idea of the expanded equation over time and see if it starts breaking down the walls of the belief that you believe is holding you back.
Questioner: I do intend to do that. One aspect of my question is: you structured that circuit breaker to contain emotions in those blanks. This is not so much an emotion but a belief. How would you suggest the belief—the belief generates the emotions of frustration that you express. But I think that if I just put “frustration” in there, it’s not going to get to this core belief represented by the Chironic wound. I’m thinking there’s probably something else that I can put into that blank. What do you think should be there?
Bashar: Maybe just a restatement of the Chironic wound, if you wish. I mean, you can give it a shot. Usually the idea is that when you feel the emotion that stems from the belief, there is then an active resonance that will actually carry through the rest of the equation and bring you back to a place where you may have better insight into what the originating belief is of the vibrational emotion to begin with.
Questioner: So I can impose upon the word “frustration,” for instance—frustration, discouragement, that kind of thing—I can impose upon that vibration the idea of the inability to change the belief structure, all that kind of stuff.
Bashar: Yes, and then continue with the equation and see over time whether it begins to break down the walls or not.
Questioner: Okay. I have one other question on a completely different subject, but related. You talked about the state of the future union and the dissolving of borders between the United States and Mexico and Canada. The people who are currently attempting to do that are doing it with the intention, I believe, of not freeing and enlightening humanity but controlling and oppressing humanity in what they call their own New World Order, via the Illuminati.
Bashar: What’s that got to do with your world?
Questioner: Well, that structure is part of my world.
Bashar: For some reason I’ve chosen to add that. Well, only from afar. Because it actually does impose upon me.
Bashar: I see why. Why do you choose to have it impose upon you?
Questioner: I think because I chose this world. I don’t—that’s another question. Why the hell would I choose a world to have that kind of oppression imposed upon me?
Bashar: So that you can transform it. The idea being that the first step is to understand that even though you can observe it, it doesn’t have to affect you, and that even though somebody may be doing something with a different intention than you would have, you can still use that to your advantage.
Questioner: If the people who are currently attempting to dissolve the borders and impose the New World Order of suppression and oppression of humanity—if that is their intention and yet the ultimate result is going to be an enlightened humanity where the dissolved borders and the use of non-use of money is the ultimate result, how does that transition from the…
Bashar: It doesn’t. As we have already said many times, you’re not changing the old system—you’re implementing new systems that are representative of another parallel reality to which you will take your consciousness, and eventually you will simply no longer experience the systems that are of the old reality because that will be in another reality.
Questioner: Okay. I don’t know that may answer my question, but it doesn’t seem like it does at this point. Right now there is an effort by the architects of the New World Order to impose this New World Order.
Bashar: Do you enjoy speaking like a victim?
Questioner: No, I’m just describing the world.
Bashar: No, no, no. That’s denial. Listen to yourself.
Questioner: I’m just describing the world that I find myself in.
Bashar: Listen—you’re creating this reality. Listen to yourself.
Questioner: But it’s a shared reality.
Bashar: I understand, but you are using words like “impose upon me,” which implies you believe you are being affected by it in a negative way.
Questioner: I didn’t say it’s imposed upon me—I said it’s imposed upon our society.
Bashar: But you’re the one speaking. I’m not the society. Yes, you are. Well, you are a member of society.
Questioner: I’m a member now—that’s a different story. I see. So you like to split hairs.
Bashar: I try to be semantically precise.
Bashar: I believe you would do yourself a great service by being a little bit more metaphorical.
Questioner: Let me establish some ground rules if you will. I do understand that I create my reality. I do understand that I have chosen to create in concert with others—I believe even though I really only know my own reality—this situation in which this New World Order is in process. I do realize that I’m creating it. I do believe that I’m creating it because I and the collective consciousness have chosen to explore this particular eventuality and resolve—learn how to resolve this sort of thing. So I understand that I’m not saying I’m not talking about the imposition of the New World Order from a perspective of not understanding that I’m creating it.
Bashar: I’m simply addressing your ability to recognize that even though you are part of a collective agreement in having that experience around you, it still doesn’t have to affect you in any way, shape, or form that you don’t want it to.
Questioner: I do understand that.
Bashar: All right. Then you don’t need to control things so tightly in order to get them to go in the direction you would prefer them to go into—which is what you’re attempting to do. The idea of the semantic precision and the idea of having to set ground rules and guidelines often can be taken to extremes that represent the idea of exercising and imposing too much control on your own reality to allow it to breathe properly.
Questioner: Please don’t take it to those extremes.
Bashar: And I will not do so if you will also not do so.
Questioner: I won’t do so.
Bashar: But that’s what you are doing.
Questioner: I was just—you know, our language. I don’t mean in this conversation—that’s what you’re doing. You are attempting to control your reality in a way that is actually reminiscent of the way you are saying they are trying to control reality. Even though you have a good intention—they may not—you are still imposing too rigid a structure on your reality to allow it to actually go where you would like it to go. You’re trying to push it into place instead of allowing it to go where it is representative of your bigger self.
Questioner: Believe me, if I could allow it to do that, I would be doing that.
Bashar: Oh, this is one of the problems that I’ve encountered—the ability to allow it seems to—I have not been able to allow it.
Bashar: I know, because you have beliefs that don’t let you. That’s what I’m saying. I know that—I know I have these beliefs, and I have not been able to allow the beliefs to change.
Bashar: That’s perhaps because you haven’t figured out exactly what they are yet. When you identify them clearly, you will let them go. And ideally, as with many other things, the tool we have talked about today will allow you to do that. But it takes identifying the belief clearly. Once you’ve identified it, you will let it go. But you haven’t identified it yet.
Questioner: I have several pages of lists of a whole variety of statements of beliefs that I believe these statements reflect accurately what I’m creating in my life.
Bashar: Let me ask you a question. Do you believe that if you can identify it, you can let it go?
Questioner: I have the conscious belief that that should—
Bashar: Stop. Stop. Okay. You are being too circumspect, and that’s part of the problem. Let me put it this way—
Bashar: No, no, no, no, no, no. That’s part of the problem. Let me put it this way—no, that’s part of the problem. Don’t put it another way. Don’t phrase it. Don’t box it into a specific thing that your mind feels satisfied with. Don’t put it another way. Allow yourself the freedom to insist for yourself that it needs to be looked at in a particular way that may be uncomfortable for your mind to grasp. That’s when you will really make progress.
Questioner: I don’t have any trouble with that.
Bashar: But you see—20 years ago, so you say. I thought that I would—that actually more than 20 years, 30 years ago—I thought that my dreams would just automatically come to realization, and I have been surprised every time that barriers have cropped up. And I realize that I’m creating the barriers myself and that they are the result of my beliefs. I have been surprised to discover that there’s this barrier based on a belief. I thought that my beliefs were all attuned to my dreams coming to fruition.
Bashar: And how did you feel when you found out they weren’t?
Questioner: Discouraged.
Bashar: Thank you. Take that feeling—discouraged—and put it in the tool I gave you today. That’s the feeling you want to put in the blank space. Discouraged.
Questioner: Like I said, I will do that. That’s the intention that I have, and I will do that.
Bashar: That’s it then. That’s all that’s necessary. That’s what you had to get in touch with—was your initial feeling when you were surprised that it wasn’t what you thought. When you felt discouraged, that’s the primal state of vibration you need to put in the blank to allow yourself to neutralize it and find out what beliefs underly that discouragement.
Questioner: I do understand that.
Bashar: Then do it. Then do it. Then do it. I’m going—I intend to.
Bashar: That’s it. That’s it. I just wanted to say that I have been in touch with that feeling.
Bashar: That’s it. Stop explaining it. That’s it. Get in touch with the discouragement and use it this way. That’s it. Don’t explain it further—you’ll only take yourself out of it again.
Questioner: I won’t take myself out of it.
Bashar: Don’t say you won’t take yourself out of it. Don’t keep insisting that you have to have the last word. Just do it. That’s all. Just do it. See if you can do that.
Questioner: Yes, massa.
Bashar: All right. See if you can do it.
Questioner: Oh, I can do it.
Bashar: See if you can do it. Don’t say it—see if you can do it. Just do it. So you’re setting—just do it. Stop talking about it. Just do it.
Questioner: That’s it. Thank you.
Question 2: The Galactic Alliance
Questioner: Hi Bashar. Can you tell us a little bit more about how many members are in the Galactic Alliance?
Bashar: Ours? How many members as in how many civilizations? 452 at present.
Questioner: And we’re going to be the next?
Bashar: No conclusion into that. No, one of the next ones coming up. One of the next ones, yes. Okay. That will be many more between now and the time you become an actual member.
Questioner: Are most of those societies like ours or like yours?
Bashar: We have described some of them from time to time. What would you like us to describe about them?
Questioner: Their physical forms, their likes, or maybe—what brings them all together? What is the common goal?
Bashar: A perspective that all things are one and a valuation of the differences that reflect to them all the ways that all that is can be, and an understanding of the synchronicity that results from that and the expansion of awareness that results from interacting with all those other aspects.
Questioner: I like that. So do we.
Bashar: Now we are not saying that there are not different levels of understanding and different levels of expression even within the alliance. There are members that because they themselves have a relatively unified society are simply curious to join the alliance to see what effect it may have on them to do so, and they may have no other motivation than that. But at least in their own context they are among themselves unified.
So it’s really a group of people that have self-respect, self-love, and self-understanding—that they are the one and the one is them—and the appreciation of the difference that they are from all the other differences, and the difference that everyone else is from them.
Questioner: Now there are beings of course that are somewhat similar to humans, but that’s only about 15% of all the beings we have ever encountered. Most of the ones that are similar to humans in the sense that they have the two arms, the two legs, the head with the two eyes are actually for the most part genetically related to you—or I’ll be more precise, you are genetically related to them. That 15%. Most of the ones are not in any way shape or form what you would recognize as human.
Questioner: Are they still corporeal?
Bashar: Corporeal? Most of them. There are a few in the alliance who have the ability not to be, as your society is getting into right now. But most of them have at least what you would recognize as the ability to project a corporeal aspect of some sort that most members can relate to. But for some, that’s just a projection of convenience.
Questioner: I just find that whole thing very fascinating.
Bashar: Very fascinating. Now one moment—one moment. We are filtering requests. One moment.
Bashar: Imagine if you will, or if you can, that you have four legs, not two, and that you are basically—to what you would consider to be now—upside down and backwards, in that your torso is hanging from the legs, not standing on top of them. Imagine if you will that this being can move in any direction it wishes because its vision is 360 degrees. Imagine if you will that off of each of the four legs are also an extension that are manipulators or what you would call hands, although they look nothing like yours—which means the being can move in any direction it wishes to and still achieve the same degree of manipulation in its reality. In that sense, these beings have never developed the concept exactly that you recognize as quadrants or north, south, east, and west. To them, it’s all the same, and based on the idea of radial patterns that only expand uniformly or contract uniformly. They do not have the same kind of sense of direction that you do.
Questioner: Wow. I get it. It’s cool.
Bashar: A very, very, very loose vibrational translation of what they call themselves would be the “Freen.”
Questioner: Say that again—Freen?
Bashar: G-Zenit.
Questioner: Thank you.
Bashar: One moment—we have to explain your joke to them. They don’t get it.
Questioner: Well, tell them there’s no offense.
Bashar: No offense taken. They just don’t get it. They do not have the mechanisms that you have that cause sneezing. Once, twice, or three times a day, depending upon the philosophy that is held in the society—all of their vacuoles open and a strong stiff breeze is created to blow through them to clean their systems out. They do not sneeze as such, but they have one, two, or three blows a day. They understand it to that degree, but not the explosive nature, since they completely control the passage of the air through those vacuoles through a system of muscular diaphragms.
Questioner: I’ve been trying to do that myself and I can’t get any control of passing my air.
Bashar: So it’s a challenge. All right. One moment—got to try to explain that one to them.
Questioner: I’m just playing around.
Bashar: I know that they are a little bit confused, but that’s all right. They simply understand that they have to chalk it up to the differences between us and are fascinated to some degree—as they can understand it—by what you are saying, and realize through the images we are imparting to them telepathically that you look, of course, very different than they do. And actually they are wondering how you can even stand up.
Questioner: I wonder that myself.
Bashar: It’s not that they have not encountered other bipedal forms, but because they are so innately four-legged, it always seems a little bit mysterious to them and curious to them that something can actually balance on two. And so they wonder at that, and it is part of their appreciation of the differences.
Questioner: For that creature to be that type of creature, it had to start from some level of consciousness first, right? Just like we started from a level of consciousness that then produced a bipedal being.
Bashar: Well, if you mean it that way, yes. Although remember that on the spirit level, we’re all the same kind of consciousness choosing to experience incarnations in a variety of forms. But as you mean the consciousness of the material evolutionary world itself, yes, there were what you would call primary forms before the form that is now in existence. That primary form is the same for all species throughout the entire universe? No, no, no, no, no. I am saying that in their environment, there was an initial form that actually had eight legs and over time evolved into that which has four and has grown larger in its domain and has become—in your terms—capable of supporting incarnational spirit and expressing intelligence in a way that you would recognize as a civilization.
Questioner: It’s true that everything starts from consciousness first, right?
Bashar: Everything is consciousness, of course. On that context, yes. If you want to call that the primal form, then yes, everything starts from the same primal consciousness. But it doesn’t really express itself as one form per se—it’s formless. And then it can choose the form that it wants to manifest, and it chooses all forms. The primal consciousness chooses all forms that it can—no limitation to it.
Questioner: That’s the one thing that I was getting from your talk earlier—that we are ungodly unlimited.
Bashar: Well, you know what I mean. And it’s so interesting that we’ve really boxed ourselves into this corner of humanity when our—we are so much bigger. That’s amazing. The mystery of it and the fascination of it and the beauty of it and the power of it is that you can do that—being such unlimited being. That’s why you are so fascinating to so many species. That’s why we call you the masters of limitation.
Questioner: Have you heard you say that several times? It’s like, there are not many civilizations we have encountered that have imposed the same degree of limitations upon their experience of life. And this to us is a form of mastery, because the default behavior is to not be like that. In a sense, you could call it the default behavior. Interesting. The default state of being is to be unlimited, but also at the same time to experience absolute limitation as well—that’s the polarity and everything in between. But as you meant it, yes, recognizing that puts you in a state of higher awareness.
Questioner: Wow. Cool.
Bashar: Whatever temperature you want. Explain that to them—they understand temperature.
Questioner: You mean the slang? Yeah.
Bashar: One moment—they actually have something similar that’s not foreign to them. They understand that a decrease in temperature usually causes things to slow down in motion, so they actually have in their language something similar to the idea of “chill out.”
Questioner: Cool.
Question 3: Deep Lows and Amazing Highs
Questioner: I was talking to Jill earlier, and she and I have the same interesting experience where we’re both experiencing some pretty deep lows and some pretty amazing highs as well. I don’t know where I’m going with it, but I guess just probably generally upward.
Bashar: I sure hope so. You can know so. You don’t have to hope so. If you are implying uncertainty in that statement…
Questioner: I know I was, but especially after yesterday and today, I’m getting more of a picture of all right—defining my own certainty, building my own certainty, and making my own certainty. Thank you. And I’m not there yet, but I will be.
Bashar: You are where you are right now.
Questioner: So this has been a very interesting seminar so far, so thank you.
Bashar: Thank you. Have a good day.
Questioner: I will. Oh yeah, actually sorry—one another thing. Thank you very much. I am very fascinated by The Institute of Applied Metaphysics and the acronym I AM. I AM—there’s no accident there.
Bashar: There is. I know you guys of course—there’s no accident. I just—that’s so cool. Any comments about that? Any you want to add that you haven’t said so far earlier? Because I’m just fascinated by us being able to do practical everyday things to really get it in our skulls and our brains to become more who we really are.
Bashar: In fact, you did that. There will be basically two mandates for The Institute of Applied Metaphysics. Number one will be to explore all of the ancient metaphysical ideas and extract from them knowledge that can actually be applied in a variety of disciplines on your planet in very practical ways to expand your level of understanding—technology, medicine, and what have you. The second mandate is to provide the idea of general knowledge itself and explore and experience the expansion of yourselves through a variety of learning techniques and access to a variety of archives of knowledge.
Questioner: Repeat generally and briefly the two mandates?
Bashar: The two mandates are: the idea that there is information within metaphysical knowledge, both present and ancient, that can actually be literally physically applied to technologies and various disciplines on your planet to expand their understanding and actually create products that will be representative of expansion of awareness on your planet. Number two is simply the learning aspect where it will function like a curriculum in a school to allow individuals to improve their own understanding of metaphysical concepts at whatever rate they are comfortable doing so.
Questioner: Thank you. You are welcome. I am so blown away by that because I’m working on various projects and inventions now that have that exact idea in mind—to use basically to mix art and technology and spirituality to help people evolve themselves. And I suppose that’s not an accident either. I’m just being blown away—it’s just thank you. I mean, I’m hearing these reflections and it’s so amazing.
Bashar: Well, I wasn’t being facetious. I know. I was playing with you.
Questioner: I know. Wow. Thank you. Well, thank you, Bashar. Thank you very much. Have a good—good time. We’ll see you soon.
Bashar: I do all right. We love you. Our love to you as well.
Question 4: Abnormal Cells and Healing
Questioner: I talked with you a few months ago about my abnormal cells in my body, and you said it was mostly the toxin that I had in my body. You suggested that I do all the cleanse—three cleanses, colon—it is one of the strongest things most of you can do with any kind of buildup in the body. And then also you suggested the aloe. I tried that and I was eating organic and vegetarian and tried that for a few months, and then finally last week I went back to the doctor and I couldn’t reverse it, so I had to kind of do the procedure then. My question is—why?
Bashar: It is always best to allow yourself the opportunity to see if your belief systems will allow you to do the most natural thing. If that doesn’t work, then there is an indication that your belief systems are telling you that this is a process you need to go through in a different way because it’s going to put you in touch with what you need to be put in touch with by going through the process that way. So the question to ask is, in going through the procedure, what came up for you?
Questioner: I was actually very busy trying to get the supplements in in time, and I was busy working two jobs.
Bashar: But what we are asking is—how did you feel?
Questioner: I was feeling I had to take charge—I have to be in control of my body. Take charge. I had to—I need to do this for me in order for me to heal. But then also I felt like I was trying to push it away instead of embracing it.
Bashar: Very good. And so that revealed something about yourself that you can now deal with.
Questioner: I actually want to know more about that because I tried to find a belief system that wasn’t working for me so that I can let go and heal, and I couldn’t really do that. Maybe anger, maybe unforgiving—unforgiveness.
Bashar: Since you are coming up with these concepts, what is it that you are still angry or unforgiving about? What has happened in your life that you find difficult to let go of in terms of anger and forgiveness?
Questioner: The big incident was I was threatened about me living here—legality of my status in the United States.
Bashar: So in that sense, some part of you is still holding on to the idea that you don’t belong. You are dealing with that idea of in some sense being a foreign object in a body that wants to get rid of you.
Questioner: Say that again.
Bashar: You are acting or believing that you are a foreign object in a body that doesn’t want you, that won’t accept you. And so you are in that sense mirroring it by creating a foreign object in your own body. And thus, by accepting and embracing and going through it and not rejecting, you can then also see that it is a mirror of what you are going through macroscopically in your reality.
Questioner: What does that mean, like on the larger scale?
Bashar: In your life, it is about learning why you feel rejected. Even though someone may reject you, why do I feel rejected? In other words, you don’t have to feel rejected just because someone may reject you. And if you are going through anger at feeling like you don’t belong, you are accepting that belief of rejection upon yourself. You’re accepting the judgment. And it’s about learning that it doesn’t have anything to do with you—it has to do with their issues, not yours. And not taking it upon yourself and letting it insist itself within you—concentrating within you and materializing within you.
Questioner: That’s the reason why I got this?
Bashar: That is the most obvious reflection. There may be other things tied to it, but you brought up the idea of anger and forgiveness at being rejected. It is a metaphor for that idea. You are creating something within your own body that is mirroring the way you feel like a foreign object in another body.
Questioner: By trying to remove those abnormal cells, what have I—was I doing it?
Bashar: It is all right for you to physically do that, but the idea is to also get the point of why it was there. The point of why it was there is to allow you to understand that you don’t necessarily have to be extracted in the same way if you understand the dynamic of consciousness that’s going on that created it—that you feel yourself like a foreign object—and allow yourself to stop feeling that way. Allow yourself to know that you belong wherever you say you belong, wherever you believe you need to be is where you belong. And just because other people might make you feel like you don’t doesn’t mean you have to believe that and treat yourself with the same disrespect.
Questioner: That’s true.
Bashar: And thus don’t have to be angry about it. You understand—the anger will build up in that way materially in your body so that it causes blockages and will allow your body not to flow and will allow certain things to build up that then can be removed one way or another. It’s not really about how it is that you allow that to go away. It’s about what you learn from why it was there to begin with and how it mirrors what you may be going through in your physical life.
Questioner: How can I let that go?
Bashar: I just told you. You need to start understanding what it is within you that allows you to accept so easily the judgment of others upon you.
Questioner: I do that all the time.
Bashar: Yes, I know. And I create it too. Yes. So to practice not that—you need to allow yourself to understand who you really are so that you can recognize when something has to do with you and when it doesn’t. And when it doesn’t have to do with you, don’t react to it. It’s all about discernment. It’s all about recognition of the true self and only responding in a positive way to what’s going on in your life, instead of reacting in a negative way and taking upon that energy in some kind of self-judgmental fashion.
Questioner: I do that all the time, and I want to shift.
Bashar: Go ahead and—just by you mean like—really focusing on who I truly am. Because when you know who you truly are, you will know what is and isn’t relevant to you. And if someone comes up to you and says something that you know has really nothing to do with you, then you will not react to it.
Questioner: However, I think I’m from the culture where—let’s say my hair is red, somebody said my hair is black, and you know—but somebody says if somebody’s really confident and if she or he tells me that my hair is red and I say “Oh yeah, probably my hair is red”—that’s how we…
Bashar: I know that’s what I’m talking about. All of you are brought up with different belief systems, and you have to get to the point where you realize exactly which belief systems you’ve been brought up with work for you and which don’t, and to let the ones go that don’t.
Questioner: Ancestral belief systems aren’t any more powerful than any other belief system?
Bashar: No, although you can make them seem as if they are with a belief system that ancestral beliefs are more powerful than any other kind. And many of you do—many of you make certain kinds of beliefs seem more powerful than other ones. They’re all equal. They’re not any more powerful than any other belief. But you can have a belief that they are, which makes them experience as if they are.
Questioner: So if someone says “Well, an entire society telling me this is way more difficult to change than just one person”—
Bashar: Well then, that’s what makes it more difficult—is that belief. And of course, because all beliefs are self-perpetuating and self-fulfilling, a society that holds that belief to be true will obviously want to make sure you learn that belief too, in order to perpetuate that belief that the society’s beliefs are more powerful and more overriding than your own.
Questioner: So I can change that belief?
Bashar: Of course you can. And in fact, just by talking about it, you have if you believe it, right?
Questioner: That makes sense.
Bashar: I have one more question. So what is toxic? Kevin and I talk about sugar—is sugar toxic?
Bashar: Not generally, but it depends upon the form in which it comes and how it is processed and whether toxins have been used in the manufacturing process. Also, perhaps the idea of too much of something can be toxic even though it may not generally be so. Because if you overload a system, then obviously the system will collapse, even if what you are putting through it normally is the same substance. As long as the correct amount for that system is going through, it will be fine. But if you overload it, obviously in some senses it will not survive.
Questioner: Refined sugar—is that bad for us?
Bashar: It depends upon the refinement process. If you’re talking about the idea of a relatively natural refinement process, it is probably fine in moderate amounts. If you’re talking about some sort of artificial process that introduces toxins in the refinement process, then probably you are receiving toxins. Again, this is simply common sense.
Questioner: I didn’t know.
Bashar: M&M’s? A few M&M’s are probably fine. 10,000 might be overloading the system.
Questioner: Oh, darn.
Bashar: Again, the idea is that generally speaking, even on a relatively toxic planet such as yours, things in relative moderation will probably be generally all right for you as long as you keep yourself cleansed and detoxified. Do the best you can within that system and do things in moderation. The idea, of course, is that if you overdo it, there’s an issue there and a belief system that needs to be addressed as to why you would do that, because there is no other reason why you need to unless there’s an issue that says you must. Because if you are simply regulating yourself naturally, you will find that your body consciousness will know what it needs at any given moment and you will ingest exactly just so much of that and no more, because it will feel unnatural to do so.
To some degree, because you must understand that the channel before you is my past self. The channel before you at one point in his life was told about the effects of too much sugar, and in surpassing a certain amount developed an allergic reaction to it and can now no longer consume it without painful consequences. And so in a sense yes, from experience—although it wasn’t M&M’s.
Questioner: Thank you, Bashar. Thank you.
Question 5: Relationship and Communication
Questioner: Hi Bashar. I’m a little worried because my English is a little bit not that strong as other people, and my question also personal. I’ve been in a relationship for like over 20 years—12 years—and I don’t understand, it’s kind of back and forth. Basically I don’t know how to finish the circle. The question is: should I change my belief and finish the circle in which way—basically to stay in the relationship or not?
Bashar: What you simply always have to decide is whether or not the relationship is still something that can serve you and serve the other person by continuing in the form that it is continuing. You have to allow yourself to understand what relationships are for. Relationships are for each person in the relationship to reflect to the other what they need to know to become more of who they are. If you believe in any relationship that you have arrived at a point where you are not really serving each other, where you are not allowing each other to grow, where the vibrations in both of you are incompatible in that way, then perhaps the best thing you can do for a relationship is to let each other go so that you can attract yourself to individuals with whom you really need to interact and allow yourself to find out more of who you are.
If in discussing it with each other you believe there is still learning and growth that can occur from it, then by all means you can decide to allow it to continue. But communication is the key. If there is not clear communication about what each individual in the relationship is in the relationship for, and not clear communication between the individuals about the idea that they are there to learn more of who they each are about themselves, to grow—then if there is not clear communication, you are not really in a relationship anyway.
Questioner: The problem I think I’m really growing in this relationship because each time I interact with this person, he teaches me something and I’m teaching this person too. But this thing is that we’re not like a couple—I mean, we’re not married, but we’ve been like on and off in a relationship, dating. And another thing: when we’re basically not together, we’re learning from other relationships either. The question is, we don’t know if we need to continue together or…
Bashar: It is not an issue of need. It is simply an issue of choosing what you prefer. If the definition of what is going on in the relationship is a definition of what you prefer in a relationship, keep going. If the definition of the relationship and what is going on in the relationship is not the definition that you prefer, change it. It’s as simple as that. You have to decide what the definition is that you prefer. We understand you can always get something out of a relationship—you can always learn—but you are also allowed to choose a definition of a relationship that you prefer. And if it has some things that you prefer but some things you don’t, you may have to understand that in an overall sense it may not be a relationship that you prefer unless you prefer the back and forth.
Questioner: No, really. That’s the—I’m confused because I prefer to be with one person and basically grow together and not to like on and off, you know.
Bashar: Then if that is what you are making as a statement of your preference, you have answered your own question. Find an individual with whom you can share a relationship that is of a definition you prefer a relationship to be. And if you don’t prefer the on and off, that’s not the relationship you prefer. And it doesn’t mean that you will not necessarily stay in contact, but if that’s not the way you prefer a primary relationship to be—if a primary relationship is what you want—then you have to understand and hear yourself that you have now defined what you prefer. Allow yourself to make room for it in your life so that you can attract it, because if you don’t make room for it, you won’t attract it. You understand?
Questioner: So I should not consider in the situation like this other person’s opinion—I mean the person with whom I am—he kind of likes it keep it the way he wants it.
Bashar: Is that what you prefer? No. Uh, no. Yeah. Then what else is there to say? Again, if you have communicated with the other person what it is you prefer in a relationship, if they want something different, there is obviously an incompatibility in your preferences. So if you decide that what you prefer is different than what they prefer, you have to do what is best for you and let them decide for themselves what is best for them. If they have attracted themselves to you and you prefer something different, then they must deal with the fact that they’ve attracted themselves to someone who does not want what they want. And by letting them go, you give them the opportunity—whether they understand it now or not—to find someone they would in that sense be more compatible with. They may think they want to keep what they have with you, but what they’re actually saying is they prefer something that you don’t prefer. So let them find someone who prefers the same thing they do, just as you will find someone who prefers the same thing you do.
That’s actually how you help each other, because again, remember as I said—that’s what relationships are for. Sometimes if what you prefer and the other person prefers are two different things, then the best thing you can actually do to help each other in the relationship is let each other find another relationship that works for them best.
Questioner: But there seems like a problem still for me. I understand this point very much, thank you, but seems like this person just won’t continue only with me this type of relationship—means he wants me to be his friend, to care for him, to feel for him. He doesn’t care about other people. What’s the difference? Because if I go to other, he coming back, you know. So he doesn’t let me go.
Bashar: There is no such thing as someone not letting you go. You choose to stay.
Questioner: Because when you care for somebody, you kind of like—that’s my—
Bashar: Understand the definition of what it means to actually care for someone. If you actually care for him, you will do what is best for both of you. And that means you will find what works for you, and even if it’s not something that he immediately enjoys, you are giving him a chance to actually go and find what works best for him—even though he may not understand that. Regardless of what he says he wants, if you understand that that’s not what’s best for him and not what’s best for you, do what’s best for both of you, not what he thinks he wants. You understand the difference?
Questioner: Does that help you?
Questioner: Yeah. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. Thank you so much. You are welcome.
Question 6: Dialogue with Those Who Believe in Martyrdom
Questioner: The closer I get to this chair, the more emotional I get. That can be a good thing. Okay. And to you, good day. Good day. Thank you. Hello. Hello. This is kind of a burning question. A burning question, yeah. It seems important to say that. The question that I have is: how would one begin a dialogue of peace with another who fervently believes that martyring themselves or killing is the way to God? What is the entry point where an alignment can begin?
Bashar: The entry point is—well, of course it might be different for different individuals, you understand. However, in general, our perception would be that the entry point is in the definition of God—a discussion of a definition of what they believe God to be. You will find in many cases, of course, that the kind of people that you are talking about may be in such states of denial that you can’t necessarily actually have what you would consider to be a logical or intelligent conversation with them.
Nevertheless, part of that is also allowing yourself to realize that may mean that you never will, and therefore it may not necessarily be something you will do. Well, that’s okay. That’s the first thing to recognize—is that you may never be able to open up a dialogue, or even if you do, to reach them in any way. That’s the first step in any kind of dialogue: doing it without an agenda of needing to reach them or needing them to change. You follow me?
Questioner: I understand that’s very difficult for many of you. Nevertheless, you actually give your point more power by not needing your point to have power. So you’re not trying to convince them of anything. You can’t convince anyone of anything anyway, can you? No. But we certainly do in this society have an urge to try. Yes, this is the idea of trying to control reality. You don’t need to do it.
Now we understand that it may be beneficial to make an attempt to open up a dialogue with certain people who may have a way of doing things that’s not necessarily very compatible to the preservation of life. Nevertheless, they may not be in their own reality capable of even understanding you. You follow me? Yeah.
And here—see, we’re talking about paradox a few moments ago, and this is an ultimate paradox in our society that we’re experiencing right now with the conflicts that are going on. Nevertheless, for those that might harbor a willingness to communicate with those that they hate, you can perhaps find some crack to open in a conversation, as we said, with the idea of the definition of God. However, you might also be under the mistaken assumption that they do what they do under the auspices of faith, when in fact they may be saying that exactly, and it may have nothing to do with that exactly.
So the approach we are suggesting really only has to do with those that are reachable on that level. And the idea being that if you can both agree to an idea or a definition of what God is and can come around to the common understanding that it is truly a vibration of unconditional love, and that acting in any other way is obviously antithetical to that and in opposition to that vibration, then you might form the foundation of the basis of a further dialogue—if you can even get that far.
However, this is why we say it isn’t really about changing anyone else’s mind. It’s really just about changing yourself and allowing yourself to put into place those ideas, those implementations, those institutions that represent the vibration of the world you prefer to live in. So that when you make a shift yourself, you yourself will wind up in a world where those individuals who are incompatible with it will simply no longer exist in that sense.
Questioner: I’ll put it in what you would call a space-time linear kind of pragmatic way. Let’s just talk about it from an incarnational point of view. Now again, as we say, everything exists simultaneously, so it is not really reincarnation—it is multiple simultaneous incarnations. However, from the linear experience, let’s say that one way you could experience the idea is that as you generate more and more energy and do more and more things that are compatible with the world that you prefer to live in—a world of peace, a world of creativity, and a world of joy—the people that do not resonate to that frequency will no longer be born into your world, and bit by bit they will die out. You follow me? And they will not come back to your Earth. They will go to another Earth, another parallel reality Earth. If they reincarnate, they will not come to yours. And so bit by bit, you will think your world is changing—you will think they are changing—but in a sense they are not, unless they actually choose to. But if they don’t change, it doesn’t mean you will continue to experience them beyond a certain point, as long as you continue to add your vibration to a world that is representative of what you prefer.
Now it doesn’t mean that you can’t make an attempt to open a bridge and a link and a dialogue, because that in and of itself is an action that represents the kind of vibration of the kind of world that you prefer to be in. All we are saying is it is the action that you take in that direction that will make a difference in the world you ultimately experience—whether they respond or not. That’s not the point. That’s why you don’t need to go in with an agenda. You know that your actions alone in that direction are sufficient to make a difference, no matter what they choose to do. And that’s the power of having no point to make.
Questioner: Make sense? You do it because that’s who you are. Because that is who you are. Because that’s the behavior that represents the world you would like to live in. And it isn’t about what they choose to do—it’s only about the actions that you take. That’s very powerful. Thank you.
Questioner: There’s one more aspect to that question though. What’s going on in our world conflict-wise and our transformation from dark to light—if there is a segment of our world who is reflecting to us this darkness and these primal urges that we’re transcending, then it’s reflecting also to us those two parts that are within us that are in conflict as well.
Bashar: They are reflecting to you things that you definitely contain. They don’t have to be in conflict within you just because you contain them. You could have made peace with them within yourself a long time ago.
Questioner: With them within myself? But what about the part of me that is in my dark side that’s in conflict?
Bashar: That’s what I’m saying. You can either have the peace within you that is still in conflict, or you can have that peace within you that is no longer in conflict. It can be either way.
Questioner: You’re saying that when it’s within us, just like what this whole workshop is about—discovering beliefs and issues that are no longer preferred—basically that we have tools that as the person who is preferring to change, can utilize to transform that energy. Whereas if it’s that conflict in the Middle East where someone may not necessarily be willing to communicate or change where they’re coming from because they may be covering it up with another revenge item or whatever it is—that’s a little different because we’re not in charge of changing that preference with them.
Bashar: No, we’re in charge of changing it within ourselves, of course. And they’re reflecting some of these things to ourselves to make it more possible for us to make choices. And you can make those choices and still allow them to make their choices, even if their choices are different than yours.
Questioner: We don’t have to, in order to transcend our personal issues, change them?
Bashar: No. And you can’t. You can’t. It’s impossible. This is why it is so perfect that everyone is autonomous, because it isn’t reliant on anyone else that you change and grow. It’s only reliant on you—which is important because if there are people that feel that in order to bring peace we’ve got to change the terrorists or those who do not agree—this is big, this is really important—and again, you can always make the attempt to open up a dialogue, but the point is it is the attempt that makes the difference and will lead us to peace because we will gather together those people who really want peace—they’ll so way outnumber the ones that are not willing to go.
Bashar: Let me give you also an example of something we have talked about before, and perhaps this will shed a different kind of light on another way in which something like this can occur. We have in the recent past said—and at this point, as we sense the energy that exists at present, find that nothing has really changed yet—we have said that there is a 98% probability that there will be some sort of terrorist nuclear strike in the Middle East.
Questioner: I’m afraid I do, but I don’t remember hearing this.
Bashar: Well, I’m telling it to you now. Here’s the point of this—I’m not saying it has to happen, it can still change. The point is, if it does, it is going to cause such a backlash around the world that I guarantee you the response to it will be that it will never happen again. So even out of something that you would call horrific can come accelerated peace, by throwing in everyone’s face something unavoidable that they must look at and come to a decision about and make changes about immediately, so that they will then realize they must take action in some way, shape, or form that is positively constructed to prevent that from ever happening again. So even if it happens, it can still actually allow peace to accelerate.
Questioner: Is there anything we can do to more turn the tide on that, to make sure that doesn’t happen?
Bashar: The attempt to express love for your enemy, the attempt to express understanding is what counts. You know what—the attempt to express that you understand they are a part of God, even though they may not understand you are a part of God. The attempt to express the idea that if God is as vast and incomprehensible as they protest it is, the idea is that God also created you, and if God created you as different from them, God must have had a reason in its wisdom for doing so. These are all, shall we say, the foundations of the beginnings of dialogues. But again, it is simply the putting out of the information and the behavior, the action that you take that makes the difference—whether they respond positively to it or not is really up to them. But if you are clever, you may find a way to strike a chord within them if you study and understand what they are all about and why they do what they do. That’s going to have to be left up to you.
But I shall read you something now. This is a passage from what you call a Bible, but it’s not the Bible that exists in your reality. It’s a Bible that exists in a parallel reality Earth where this prophecy is actually something in that Bible—it isn’t in yours, but it’s in this one.
Questioner: The prophecy you’re going to tell me about?
Bashar: The one we just discussed about the nuclear. I am just sharing with you on a variety of levels some of the differences between parallel realities to illuminate several points at once. And in one parallel Earth reality, their Bible actually has this prophecy whereas yours does not.
“And lo, those with hate in their hearts did call upon the god of fear and rained down fire and brimstone upon the holy city, and it was utterly consumed. And there arose thereafter such a hue and cry in the land that those were cleansed away who caused this to be done.”
Questioner: You’re going to have to say that slower. Can you read slower because I really want to get it down before I—three months passes.
Bashar: “And lo, those with hate in their hearts caused to be rained down fire and brimstone upon the holy city.” You understand? “And thereafter the people did rise with such a hue and cry that those that caused this to happen were cleansed away.”
Questioner: Okay.
Bashar: It does not mean what it means in your reality. In this context, “cleansed away” in that reality means all were gathered up and placed in isolation where they eventually eliminated themselves.
Questioner: Wow. Isolation.
Bashar: It is rare to find one whose excitement in life is stenographer.
Questioner: No, my excitement is not—well, it is—because I like to write down things that are important so I can access them later.
Bashar: Just one little piece of adding this into where you’re—same question. If you put—if you extend love to people, even the wildest creatures change. I think that somehow they change even if they don’t change the way you want them to.
Bashar: You don’t want to change anything in your world. Change yourself—you will take yourself to a reality in which you are then dealing with the versions of those things that already exist in that reality. They do not change.
Questioner: Thank you. Thank you, Bashar. You are welcome.
Question 7: Sungazing
Questioner: Good day, Bashar. My question is about sungazing. It’s a new thing I’ve come across—an ancient practice. This gentleman’s going around talking about staring at the sun between the hours an hour before sunrise and an hour after sunrise, and somehow the sun rays open up the pituitary and hypothalamus gland and it activates like a solar charge in the brain, and that if you do this for nine months, your body can completely live without food. I’m just wondering if you’ve heard anything about this.
Bashar: We understand what is being said, because of the different degrees of polarization of light as it comes through the atmosphere at different angles, having different vibratory effects upon the body in different ways, depending on the state of the person to begin with. It will not work for everyone. Trust me.
Questioner: Collectively for all of us, this question is about getting where we want to get to—our dreams. If we have a place we’re trying to get to, and as you said to one lady, you can’t reach that because your belief system isn’t there. Are we supposed to just climb a stairway to that—just find something easy and then work towards that?
Bashar: It depends upon what belief systems you have. What we are simply saying is: honor the beliefs you have and don’t force yourself to step off what you believe to be a cliff unless you believe there will actually be a footing there. So the idea is to honor what belief systems you actually have. If you believe you can go faster, go faster. If you believe you need to take your time, take your time. If you believe you need assistance in a certain way, then allow yourself to have assistance. It’s up to you.
Questioner: What happens if you don’t really know what you want?
Bashar: The point that we talk about when we talk about following your excitement can simply be followed on the simplest level of all. And that simply is, as we say, at any given moment you have available to you a number of different options of things you could do. All we’re simply saying is that at that moment, make a decision: which one contains the highest degree of excitement that you have the greatest degree of capability of taking action on—and take action on it. And the next moment, do the same, and the next moment do the same. It is the thread of excitement that you need to follow. It doesn’t have to be represented by a big overarching life career or project. At every given moment, different degrees of excitement come with different options that are presented to you. Pick the one that has the highest excitement that you have the greatest degree of capability of actually acting on. That’s all you have to do.
Questioner: Thank you, Bashar. Thank you.
Question 8: The Judas Story and Past Lives
Questioner: Good day, Bashar. As I moved closer in the line to get to this point, I could feel a shift in energy, and I was perceiving that as I relaxed into it as a strong flow of loving energy coming from you and all those who are.
Bashar: It is coming from us, but the only reason you felt it is because you match the vibration and are experiencing your own energy that way, and thus created the effect in your reality. So thank you for loving yourself enough to do that.
Questioner: Thank you, and thank you to you and all who are with you for projecting that for me to experience.
Bashar: You are welcome.
Questioner: Earlier this year around March or April, I happened to read an article about some ancient scriptures that had been recently discovered that spoke of Judas and suggested he did not betray Yeshua. This was something that I had no background and understanding of, and in a sense it was a setup. So immediately after I read this brief article, for approximately ten minutes I would say I was immersed in a very strong flow of love, a sense of release, of joyful tears and love relief, and it was quite a joyful experience—even to the point I was jumping around the room joyfully and jubilant. Thank you.
About three or four weeks later in April, I was here speaking with you and I asked you about Judas and did he turn Yeshua in and in doing so betray him, and you told me no—Yeshua told Judas to turn him in. All right.
And then the next day I began working with an exercise you had given us—the spiral with the four D’s—your expression, my desire, to define, my dedication, to detach. And as I sat down to work with that exercise, just before I got involved with it, I made a connection to a conscious being and this being identified itself as a son of Judas, and asked me two questions. What were the questions? The first question was: Yeshua told Judas to turn him in—why did not Yeshua turn himself in? And the second question: What happened to Judas after that event took place?
Bashar: Understand that the reason for having the appearance of being turned in was more powerful as a statement in the eyes of those around him to carry out certain aspects of the play. If you shall we say in modern terms write a movie and you have the hero simply turn himself over to the bad guys, is it not more dramatic to have someone betray him to the bad guys? Does it not resonate more strongly in the mythology to do so? There seems to be on this planet a stronger resonance to that idea. So it was something that people could identify with in a way that would cause the appropriate reaction or vibration to occur, so the story could have the proper impact.
Now in that he was asked to do something that was to him in that sense loathsome and contradictory to the love he felt for Yeshua. There was for Judas—even though he understood the part he was playing and understood the effect it would ultimately have and understood the benefit that could ultimately be derived from it—he had within himself the idea of self-loathing. And in that way you will find that the scenario of the hanging is accurate. He hung himself.
Questioner: Was this within a week after, a year or two years after?
Bashar: It is not that long after. Within a day or within the week.
Questioner: Because of self-loathing?
Bashar: The idea that he would understand the importance that out of love he did what Yeshua said, but in doing what Yeshua said in that sense would put him through that torture and simply couldn’t live with having done it—even though he understood the importance of it and wanted in that sense to join Yeshua on another plane. So they both chose to move through in what we consider a tragic way to present their message in the way they felt, because they understand the cathartic transformation that occurs in your society when presented with a tragedy that then ends in a transformation—it has a much more powerful cathartic effect than the other way they could have done it.
Questioner: Did he make the decision that he would end his life that way before he actually did turn Yeshua in, or after?
Bashar: After.
Questioner: So the being that is communicating with me—the son—did not know that this occurred? I’m curious why he was asking me.
Bashar: To rekindle in you and extract from you an ability to get back in touch with that particular vibration and energy, since you have familiarity with it—with that type of circumstance or with that specific event—both. And you said earlier when I read the article it was a setup because—well, a setup in the sense that it was organized, it was orchestrated, a coincidental idea.
Questioner: Not meaning that? Meaning it was orchestrated in other words that he asked him to do it.
Bashar: I mean when I read the article and—okay, I understand what you’re saying.
Questioner: I’m not clear as to my connection to this event. Could you—
Bashar: You existed—or shall we say again, simultaneously coexisted—in that time frame. You are familiar with the proceedings going on, and it affected you. It impacted you in a very profound way to come into this life and find out that those that were blamed are not to be blamed—is a great release of understanding for you and a great joy for you to understand that everything that was done was actually done out of love.
Questioner: Can you give me an idea who I was in any—or is that for me to discover on my own?
Bashar: You can, but giving you a name really wouldn’t help. It is not someone in that sense you would be able to historically track down. Any connection as a family or friend to these two? Yes, in the sense of listening to the information, being a part of the organizations—shall we say the groups, the philosophical organizations that understood what Yeshua was saying.
Questioner: The Essenes—I was a part of the Essenes?
Bashar: Yes. And how small a group—what might have been the smaller size group? About 50. And you were in that sense crushed by what at that time you felt was a betrayal because you weren’t let in on it. Now you understand it wasn’t, and great joy and release is yours. And it is calling you back—those questions to get back in touch with that vibration so you can bring the joy of it into the present reality in whatever form works for you.
Questioner: So I wasn’t necessarily the son of Judas—it’s just the consciousness of the son of Judas that contacted me to bring this up.
Bashar: Understand, not literally genetically. Understand that different groups were called “son of this,” “son of that.” You were a son of Judas that way. And so you felt that whom you had named yourself after betrayed the entire order and couldn’t understand what happened. Now you do. So this is the person talking to me now is potentially myself in that timeline? Yes. Okay, understand. And you have completed a cycle. Got it. And hence the great release.
Questioner: Excellent. Thank you, Bashar. Much love to you and all who are with.
Bashar: And to you as well.
Bashar: By the way, just as an aside—think about the modern translation of Yeshua in this day and age of your timing. The full name back then was Yeshua Ben Yosef—what you would say is Jesus Son of Joseph. But Yeshua is actually more properly aligned with the name in your modern parlance of Joshua rather than Jesus. Jesus in a sense is a Greek alteration. So really a modern description of the name of Jesus from directly ancient times to modern times would be Joshua Josephson. This may seem like an aside, but there’s a reason for this we cannot go into at this time, but it will become apparent to some later on as to why we bring this up.
Question 9: Visual Experiences of Parallel Realities
Questioner: I’ve been having these experiences of visual experiences, so I’m trying to understand them. It’s kind of like I can see a movie on a wall, and it’s like a film strip—it’s like a movie. It looks like other communities, different things going on, and in between it’s like space and galaxy and angels and flying through. It’s getting to the point where I can see what I’m seeing. I think I’m seeing parallel realities, or I’ve been told I’m processing information that I was not conscious of.
Bashar: Is it both? You are having experiences you may not be completely conscious of and recollecting it this way, and you may also be crossing over into parallel realities where you’re also having similar experiences. One may bleed into the other, so it’s a combination.
Questioner: When I see these communities, I’m wondering if they’re represented that way at all—can you be more specific in describing them?
Bashar: Like cartoons—a lot of it’s cartoons. Like cartoon communities where they look more animated and not like we are so much.
Bashar: I see that may be an interpretation, although we are aware of one species we have referred to in the past called the Dilla that you might look upon as animated cartoons. What do they look like? They are sort of plasticky—the idea is that they are thin, malleable, flexible beings that can stretch and change form in a variety of brilliant colors that might be in some sense a close approximation like an animation moving quickly.
Questioner: It’s always moving very quickly, but I’ve seen black and white and real stuff and babies and hybrids and all that.
Bashar: There are a lot of things lumped into those visions that you having that represent different kinds of experiences on different planes at different times, and they’re all being lumped into these photogenic films that you are perceiving. They change—there’s like space in between them, then you go into another one.
Questioner: What can you make of this in terms of how can you use this and apply this in your life?
Bashar: Energetically, just accepting it and being okay with it and not judging it good or bad. But I do see a lot of war and explosions—a lot of other realities as well as probable future ones. You are sifting through different probabilities, different experiences. You are in your own way helping to add energy to the ones that define the path of most preference out of all the probable ones that do happen, have happened, or could happen. It’s your way of doing it. You have an unusual connection in this way. There are a few individuals from time to time that incarnate on Earth that come from different places and different times than most of the population’s incarnation, and they have different ways of doing things. It is highly likely that one of the things you are seeing in those movies is actually a place you have a strong connection to and many different life experiences in.
Questioner: I interpret it as the destruction that’s going on here with the collective consciousness is going on in many other parallel realities, so we can connect through this way and see that they have wars and all these things as well.
Bashar: When we become aware of each other, many other parallel Earth realities have taken themselves places that you will not. Many parallel Earth realities have had things like nuclear war and so forth. So you are sifting through all of this to determine the vibrations that brought them to those choices, so that you can aid and assist this reality in making other choices.
Questioner: That answers—does that help you? Yes. Thank you. Thank you.
Question 10: Awareness and Neutrality
Questioner: I have a question on awareness and understanding of neutrality. I understand the concept of everything being neutral. I also understand the various vibrations that you can choose once in a neutral state. I had an experience where I changed a belief system of mine to experience a certain kind of music, understanding that it was neutral, where before I had a definition that it was negative. But in hand understanding this neutral, I still felt a very heavy feeling.
Bashar: That can simply be an observation of the mechanics of the vibration itself and a recognition that there may be incompatibility with your preferred vibration. But that can be recognized within a neutral state.
Questioner: Within the heavy feeling and the low vibration—how does that help within the acceleration of an individual?
Bashar: By simply accepting it for what it is and recognizing that it is not your preference, and thus in that sense not incorporating that vibration into your overall preferential vibration. It’s simply an assessment process—this works for you, this doesn’t—and you’re observing that from a neutral state to choose what works for you. It doesn’t mean you’re invalidating or judging what doesn’t—it’s simply an observation and an experience that you can use to incorporate into yourself whatever vibration is more compatible with the being you prefer to be.
Questioner: It’s just very powerful because within seeing the neutral, you experience one to be very high and one to be very low, but then you see the variations—one feeling of a flow of acceleration upward and then one very grounding.
Bashar: That’s okay, of course. As we said, the process of expansion is the process of inclusion, and that requires that you do some observation and acknowledgement of what’s there so that you can pick and choose the ultimate effect you wish to create in your life.
Questioner: So is the whole point of this experience—like you said yesterday or today—that you come here to choose? Physical reality is a choice, and then by seeing choices, you look at everything—like for example for me was the definition of God. When most of us feel that when you come into this world you have a definition of God saying that it’s more like an entity or individual and not really the new idea of all that is in creation—so the whole choice of coming into this reality is to come in here, see that, and then choose to have a new way and a new vision of it.
Bashar: That can be a choice. Many people may choose many different kinds of things, but in your general transformational age, many people are choosing that particular perspective of transforming from the limited view to a more expanded view. Is that what physical or third density is—to expanding it more to look at going from third to fourth density? Yes, that’s what that is—the process of going from the limited view to the more expanded view.
Questioner: Okay. Thank you. Thank you.
Question 11: The Physics of Consciousness and Manifestation
Questioner: I wanted to try to get a handle on—and I know this is a big thing to tackle at the end of the session here—the physics of consciousness and manifestation. I really get excited about trying to understand this. I’ve sort of made this division in my mind, and I know they don’t really exist, into the metaphysics of it—which to my sense means intentionality, coherence, belief systems—and then the physics of it which involves zero point field and Bose-Einstein condensates.
Bashar: These are simply different labels for things that are somewhat similar from time to time—different ways of people interpreting similar ideas.
Questioner: How then does that work if you were to explain it in a physics sense in terms of reality actually coalescing and manifesting out of a shift in consciousness?
Bashar: Do not your quantum physicists already understand that there is no reality apart from the observation of it? Well there you go. Quantum physics has already defined this idea: there is no reality apart from your observation of it, and that’s what reality is.
Questioner: Is it in a sense kind of this holographic projection?
Bashar: Yes, and that’s another way that some scientists have of defining it. It’s still in a sense a convenient euphemism, but it will work as a template to define something that allows everyone to at least be on common ground with their terminology.
Questioner: And how do we move from third to fourth density?
Bashar: Well, there are many ways to look at it. One way we have defined the recognition of it and the moving through it is to recognize that you actually are the reality that you previously thought you existed in. And another way of saying that again is as your quantum physicists say it—the idea that there is no reality until you decide to observe something, and it is the choice you make of what to observe that determines the reality you experience. So it’s just a matter of making a certain choice to observe a certain thing, and whatever the definition of that thing is then becomes the reality you experience based on how you set up the observation. So if you start defining the idea of fourth density as something different from third and imbue qualities to fourth density in your definition, then you set yourself up to be capable of perceiving and experiencing fourth density reality based on the definition you have given it. Does that make sense?
Bashar: We can also describe an actual scientific experiment that could be done to actually prove that point. You understand the process that exists on your planet called hypnosis? Yes. This is actually a very strong technique to unlock you from one reality assumption and allow you to focus on others.
One actual experiment that could be done to literally prove this would be to have a series of chambers, one inside the other, each big enough to contain people. And what you can do is you can hypnotize people to tell other people in the inside chamber that one particular kind of thing will happen in the next chamber, and then hypnotize that person to tell another person that thing will happen in that chamber, and hypnotize that person to tell another person that a particular kind of thing will happen in that chamber. And in each of those chambers you can have cameras. In the outer reality chambers, the cameras will record one thing. In the inner reality chambers, the cameras will record whatever those people absolutely believe they would see in that chamber. You will have two different realities on tape. Do you understand this? Because if you get everyone in one reality to believe a certain thing, it completely affects everything about that reality. And if the person doesn’t know that there’s another reality to believe in, then that is the overriding vibration in that chamber and becomes what gets recorded by everything that does record in that chamber. And you can actually see on two side-by-side monitors two completely different realities happening. And these similar realities are viewable within this reality because you are creating bubble realities through the hypnotic technique of convincing some that there is only one kind of reality on that side and another kind on this side.
Questioner: So in terms of surpassing and dealing with the limitations that we put on ourselves, can we then self-hypnotize to the point where we’re able to?
Bashar: That’s what you do all the time—but we just don’t do it consciously. What belief systems are you hypnotizing yourself with? And we’re entirely capable of putting a different program in there. You are with an overriding understanding that you can hypnotize yourself to something else. Does that help?
Questioner: Yes.
Bashar: As always.
Questioner: I’m not quite finished—I don’t know where else to go with this. So much of it depends on choice. If you have let’s say the physics experiment where they have Schrodinger’s cat and the cat is either alive or dead—and of course you know the answer is the cat is alive and dead because that represents two different parallel realities. If you did it in the way we just described this experiment, you could actually record the cat both alive and dead. You will see both simultaneously co-occurring parallel realities, and they are both equally—there’s an opportunity for either to exist equally. They exist equally until the observer comes along, and then it’s their belief system that then creates it, sort of collapses that wave function into dead or alive. You bring your own belief system into it and you decide at that point which be the effect in your reality—unless, as I said, you bring a belief system in that you are capable of perceiving both realities simultaneously.
I am simply suggesting a technological way to assist you to do that, because some of you will believe in the power of the technology a little bit more easily than the power of your own belief system. So you can set yourself up through hypnotic suggestion to actually experience that through literal physical recordings. Because you see, if you bring someone in as an observer that has absolutely no idea what the experiment was, then there will be no bias at all and they will actually be capable of telling you that they see one recording on one monitor and a completely different result on the other monitor, because they have no idea what you did to get those two recordings. So there will be no contradiction in their mind that both recordings can exist side by side.
Questioner: You need to constantly remove someone from the belief system level though that would in a sense allow them to collapse it one way or the other.
Bashar: That’s what the hypnosis is for, and that’s what the idea is for of a blind observer who has no idea what the experiment is, so they can actually tell you that they can see both results side by side without bias.
Questioner: And how do we break our circuit sufficiently to be able to exist in that state?
Bashar: You can start by understanding it is possible and believing that it is possible and conducting the experiment.
Questioner: Cool. There’s that temperature again. I love you so much.
Bashar: Our unconditional love to you, and remember that your own imagination will also supply you with many other techniques other than what we have suggested here in this communication.
Final Question: Relationship and Discernment
Questioner: I had an experience with somebody at work which was like more of personal like love kind of experience, and it wasn’t good at all at the end. I’ve been always denying the red flags and denying everything everybody was saying me—“She’s not good, blah blah blah”—but then finally I realized two days ago after suffering and suffering that she doesn’t deserve me basically, and I’ve been always saying I don’t deserve her.
Bashar: First of all, if you didn’t deserve each other, you wouldn’t have attracted yourself to each other in the beginning. It’s not about judgment—I mean it on every level. You only interact with those that are in some way shape or form on a wavelength that you need to interact with to get out of it what you need to learn. So in that sense, you always deserve each other, no matter on what level each of you is personally. There are no accidents.
And the point again, as you have brought up for you, is to learn more discernment in recognizing the signs of a situation ahead of time that are incompatible with your preferred vibration. You don’t have to bring it down to a deservability issue. That’s all it really is for—is learning discernment through practice of what it is sooner and sooner each time that represents vibrations that are not compatible with your preferred one. It’s just an issue in that sense of experience and practice.
Questioner: I understand everything happens for a reason, and I know this was a good experience for me to learn stuff about myself. And I did learn.
Bashar: Then you can also understand that it happened out of love, no matter what the result was. You attract yourselves to each other out of love. In fact, every single thing that’s done on your planet is done out of love. There are those that don’t understand how to match their actions in harmony with the idea of doing what they do out of love, but the reason and the fundamental underlying reason for what anyone does to anyone, for anyone, with anyone, by anyone, is done out of love. They simply may not have been brought up to understand how to express it in a positive way. But every single thing everyone does—even killing—the initial reason for that is because they want to be loved and feel like they’re not getting it, and so they lash out because they don’t know any other way to express the idea of getting what they want—of feeling loved. It’s all done out of love.
And if you understand that fundamentally, then you can go into any situation and recognize why it’s happening. You can see into the soul of the person and can also have discernment about what is going on in that particular interaction and relationship much more quickly, and can really learn what each of you are getting out of it much more quickly.
Questioner: Other branch is—I love my work. Is there a butt in there? There might be. All right. We can almost always sense that. Definitely. But the thing is, I don’t like the war politics. I don’t like—I consider myself to be straightforward, like if I feel like something, I cannot hide and put a mask. I cannot smile and laugh when I don’t feel it. Meanwhile I see people around me.
Bashar: Do you think you can find a creative way to express that without necessarily doing it out of judgment? Can you find a way to communicate to others that the politics are not your preference, but do it in a way that doesn’t judge others for doing it? Can you express who you are and how you prefer to communicate and how you prefer to behave and how you prefer to act without necessarily judging others for the way they have been acting? If not, and if you find you are completely incompatible, then the idea is to understand that when we talk about doing what excites you, we also talk about doing it where it excites you, how it excites you, with whom it excites you—and not doing it otherwise. If any of those components are not reflective of the vibration of what you are truly compatible with, then it is not really doing what excites you in a holistic way—you’re only doing pieces of it. So if you find that that particular situation and environment doesn’t fit the idea of your preferred vibration, we would suggest you look for something that is more compatible with it.
Otherwise, allow yourself to examine whether or not there is a way to communicate who you are clearly with your co-workers, so that they understand what it is that they can do to respect your way of doing things without necessarily compromising what they do or being judged for it.
Questioner: That’s what I explain to them—how I am—or just a different way?
Bashar: You can keep it very simple. You can say, “You saying this to me or you doing this in this way made me feel this or made me think this or made me feel disrespected. This is how I would prefer to communicate or have you communicate with me or deal with me or interact with me. If that’s not something you believe you would prefer to do, I can respect that. All I’m asking is for you to also see if there’s a way that we can find a common ground in which to work together, because the ultimate idea here is the doing of the work that excites us. And if you can come together in common ground to find ways to communicate to do something that excites you both, then use the thing that excites you both—if it does in fact excite you both—to find common ground on which you can communicate, because that’s the actual focus that needs to be there. So you can be inspirational in that way. And if they’re willing to rise to that level, they will. If they’re not, well then you still have to make a decision as to whether or not you want to stay there or find someplace that’s willing to act with more motivation for the big picture.
