The Galactic Alliance

Questioner: 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.

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? What are 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.

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.

Bashar: Imagine that you have four legs and that you are basically upside down and backwards. Your torso is hanging from the legs, not standing on top of them.

This being can move in any direction it wishes because its vision is 360 degrees.

off of each of the four legs are also a hand or manipulators that look nothing like yours. 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.

Bashar: They call themselves as the “Freen.”

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.

Bashar: 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.

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.”

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 am very fascinated by The Institute of Applied Metaphysics and the acronym I AM.

Bashar: I AM—there’s no accident there.

Questioner: 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 2 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.
