Facets of Creation

Topic 1: Channeling Another Entity (Arna)

Participant: I have a question regarding an entity that I channel. Can you tell me about him? His name is Arna

Bashar: For how long have you been bringing this energy through?

Participant: A couple of years now.

Bashar: it is connected, like most of you, to the idea that you each have connections to different kinds of consciousness on different planes, different levels, different, sometimes even star systems. Also, you are connected to the idea of your guides in spirit. And this, as you have named it, would seem to be a combination of the two ideas: of connecting to a slightly extraterrestrial source, but at the same time also a blending with your own spirit guide to bring to you in a form that you can assimilate the idea of a consciousness to allow you to connect more also to your own higher self. To train you to not only connect to your higher self as you are giving out information, but to also fortify others to allow them to connect to their own higher selves in the receiving of the information.

Participant: Yes. My understanding was that he was an ET and clarified himself that way.

Bashar: Yes. This is to bring out, as I said, aspects of the vibration that are connected to extraterrestrial sources, but also to give you more fundamental relationship with your own higher self so that you can bring that energy, as you would say in your language, “down to earth.”

Participant: I think even in a previous session I had brought the subject up about channeling as well, because I had had an interest or a love for that from the first time I saw you and others. All right. And I think even B, you said earlier a couple years ago that that experience could happen for me. But I’m, in chronological years, about Daryl’s age, maybe a little past that, and that has yet to start.

Bashar: but again, that is not completely so because, as was explained to you by the channel himself, there are many forms of channeling, and it isn’t always necessary for you to go into a state of repose and connect to another entity in order to be channeling information that is of benefit to you and others. By doing what you love to do and allowing a free flow of information in that state of being, you are in essence channeling.

Bashar: All right. Now, you may also choose, if you wish, to do it in the way that you see being done before you now. But that is really up to you. It is really just a matter of style. And just because you may not necessarily mirror a certain style doesn’t mean you’re not channeling. You follow?

Participant: Yes. Thank you. Is this helping?

Bashar: Yes. Does this address the situation sufficiently, or is there somewhere else you wish to take this?

Participant: I do, but I’ll come back to me later. I want to go on to some other people.

Bashar: Oh, all right. Thank you.

Topic 3: Connection with Extraterrestrials & The Grays

Participant: Bashar, good day.

Bashar: Good day.

Participant: I am wondering what my particular connection is with extraterrestrials. I seem to be involved with them in various ways.

Bashar: In what ways?

Participant: In doing a lot of regression work with people to recall in detail their experiences with the ETs. And I believe I’ve had three meetings with them myself.

Bashar: You had more than that.

Participant: Oh, okay. You have three that you remember so far. Understand.

Bashar: Understand that many of these kinds of interactions, for many of you, happen in what you call your dream state, when you are, so to speak, out of your body in other levels, in other dimensions and other realms. It isn’t always necessary for you to always remember every single encounter or interaction on that level. But in that state, much preparation is done, much information is given for you to, as you say, “download” into your physical reality when your mind becomes reconnected or re-involved in the dispensation of that information for and for whatever purpose you wish to put it.

Now, the idea in general for most extraterrestrial consciousnesses connected to your planet at this time is for those of you who have a desire to aid and assist others in waking up—in that sense, to awaken themselves to more of themselves. The true fundamental mission and purpose that all of you have in life is to simply be yourself as fully as you can, whatever that means in whatever way you wish to express that. Many beings working with other beings on other levels, many humans working with extraterrestrials, also have a similar agenda: to aid and assist others in waking them up to more of themselves, to allow themselves to, shall we say, integrate fears, doubts, belief systems that are negative, as you say, and smooth the way for them to act more holistically in their lives. This is the primary function of receiving information from other levels, and the specific application in which you are making it—to help others become more holistic themselves. Does this make sense?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: Does this address the situation sufficiently, or do you wish to go down some other road with this?

Participant: Thank you. That was very good. And I’d like to know too, if generally speaking, if extraterrestrials are doing as much direct—that is, person-to-person, body-to-body—interaction with humans as they were doing for a while.

Bashar: Well, now it depends upon which extraterrestrial group you are talking about. Because understand that when you say “extraterrestrials,” you cannot lump us all in one group. There are many different groups with many different kinds of relationships to you. So, are you referring to a specific group?

Participant: I’m referring to the Grays first of all, the little Grays we call them.

Bashar: Let us address that first, because they are a very different idea from the groups of extraterrestrials that belong to an affiliation or an association that is aiding and assisting your world. First of all, understand that the Grays are not actually extraterrestrial. Let me explain.

What you call the gray beings are actually fundamentally parallel reality humans that have mutated into a different form. I will explain it this way. Do you understand the concept of parallel reality?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: Is there anyone who does not? All right. A brief understanding: You have your Earth reality. You consider your physical reality to be, in that sense, discreet unto itself. Yet there are an infinite number of parallel realities of Earth and other realities, other dimensions, other universes going on at the same time, in a sense, all overlapping. It is similar to the idea of what happens when you watch your television. You know that you are watching a particular program, as you say, now. You know that at any given moment there are any number of other programs that exist at the same time, but they are invisible to you because you are not tuned to their frequency. But if you change the channel, if you change the frequency, you will then get another program, and the program you were just watching suddenly becomes invisible to you. It doesn’t mean it no longer exists. It’s all right here, right now, at the same time. But you only get the program, and you only get the reality that you are operating on the frequency of.

So, there are an infinite number of realities, an infinite number of versions of many different universes, many different civilizations, an infinite number of Earths, all existing right here, right now. But the only one you perceive is the one that your frequency of consciousness is tuned to. But there is a parallel reality Earth with a similar history to yours that actually went so far as to destroy itself in certain ways, to completely ruin, as you would say, its environment. And in that reality, on that Earth, the humans, in order to survive, had to actually genetically change themselves in certain ways to adapt to the reality that they had created. They developed a technology that is far above the technology that you have on your planet at this time in order to genetically change themselves. And thus, then, after a while, realized that they had also made an error in how they changed themselves. They realized that the genetic mutation they had caused in order to adapt to the reality they had created, in that sense, prevented them from that point forward from having the same kind of emotional structure that you do and the same kind of reproductive ability that you do. They were then dying out because they could no longer reproduce.

Thus, they realized that the only way to allow their civilization to continue would be to find viable human DNA and mix it with their own to create a hybrid race. Well, because they were the only humans in their reality, they had to come to a parallel reality—yours—in order to find viable human DNA. And thus, then, the reports of what you call alien abduction, where these mutated humans have taken humans aboard their ships and have extracted DNA to create a hybrid species that would allow their civilization to continue. So, in that context, the beings that you call the Grays are not actually extraterrestrials; they are parallel reality humans. Do you follow all that?

Participant: Thank you. Very helpful.

Bashar: Humans. Do you follow all that?

Participant: Thank you. Very helpful. Now, they are not interacting quite in the same way that they used to. To address your other question: they have now shifted mostly into another aspect of their agenda, which is called “climatization.” And what that means is the hybrids they have created are now situated on your planet in situations to allow them to learn how to interact more naturally with humans. Because one day, the hybrids—such as civilizations such as my own, because we are a hybrid civilization—will begin to interact with many of you on the Earth in time. And so the hybrids now that have been created by the Grays are being trained to learn how to interact with humans in a much more positive and constructive way. You follow me?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: Now, other extraterrestrial groups do interact from time to time with humans in a variety of ways. As I said, for the most part, it is through dream connection, when you are, as a spirit, out of your body existing in other dimensions and other levels. That is where the majority of contacts take place. However, recently there has been an increase in actual physical contact on your planet between certain extraterrestrial beings and certain humans from time to time. But at this time, you are made to forget that so it does not interfere with your natural growth. So even though many contacts have taken place physically, you don’t remember that yet. In time, you will, when it is time, when it is appropriate for you to remember. And when it is time and appropriate for more individuals on your planet to realize that we exist, then there will be more open contact. And this will occur probably within the next two to three decades of time, generally as you count time. Does that answer your question?

Participant: Yes. Thank you.

Topic 4: Health Issues (Dystonia & Detoxification)

Participant: Good day.

Bashar: How are you?

Participant: Perfect. And you?

Bashar: Not bad. Not bad. All right.

Participant: Oh, all right. Uh, you said I made a comment that the purpose is to be all we can be. Yes. And I have a number of physical issues that seem to become an obstacle. Physical issues.

Bashar: Such as?

Participant: Uh, I have dystonia, and I’m also having problems with my legs.

Bashar: What kind of difficulties are you having with your legs?

Participant: They lock, and I have a hard time walking.

Bashar: And for how long has this condition existed?

Participant: Not very long. Only about maybe a year max.

Bashar: All right. How is your diet?

Participant: I think I’m pretty healthy with that.

Bashar: You think you are? Define “healthy.”

Participant: Well, fruits, vegetables, whole grains.

Bashar: Have you ever done a thorough detoxification of your system?

Participant: No, I don’t think so.

Bashar: There you go. You exist on a planet where the food, water, and air is highly toxic, highly polluted. It doesn’t matter how much nutrition you put in your body, organic or otherwise, if there are toxins in your cellular structure preventing the nutrients from being absorbed. You see, the issue of health is not just the idea of intake and ingestion. The issue of health is the idea of what your body is actually capable of absorbing. And if your body has toxicity levels that are too high, then the cells are prevented from absorbing the nutrients that would actually allow your body to heal itself. Because all bodies have the ability to heal themselves very rapidly once they are given the appropriate nutrients and building blocks to do so that are natural, organic, and highly potent.

But first and foremost, you will find that because of the environment you have created on your planet, you tend to build up toxins very rapidly in your system that block your cell’s ability to absorb those nutrients. So strong detoxification programs of all the different organs of the body will be paramount in order for you to actually take advantage of whatever nutrients you’re putting into your body before you will be able to really see true healing results. You follow me?

Participant: I follow you.

Bashar: So we would suggest, because we have encountered this idea from many of you many times, we have in that sense consolidated our answer with regard to almost every health issue down to this understanding: If you will take advantage of some strong detoxification programs that have been designed—that already exists on your planet so that you don’t have to start from scratch, you don’t have to figure it all out yourselves because many individuals have already figured it out for you—and take advantage of these strong detoxification programs, you will then find that when you put the proper nutrients back in your body, many of the symptoms and conditions that you are experiencing will be rapidly alleviated.

One of the strongest detoxification programs and systems that exists on your planet is that which is produced by a company called American Botanical Pharmacy. Avail yourself of it. It has been specifically designed to purge your system of toxins. And thus, then, by doing that first, and also doing that on a relatively regular basis—two to three times a year—you will maintain the level of detoxification necessary for your body to then absorb the organic, natural, high-potency nutrients that you will then feed it. You follow me?

Participant: Yes. Thank you.

Bashar: Does that help you?

Participant: I think so, since you specifically mentioned that program.

Bashar: Yes. You will find that they are located in what you would call your Marina del Rey area on your planet, near your city of Los Angeles. It is one of the few companies on your planet that has a strong enough detoxification program to really be of benefit, aside from simply going around figuring out what natural herbs would do it for you and putting together a program yourself. They have already taken the time and effort to do it in a way that is highly effective. And many people that have been told by your medical practitioners that they have conditions and diseases which are absolutely inoperable and incurable have been cured by this detoxification program and the addition of certain nutrients that they also provide, because then the body can heal itself when the blockages are out of the way. You follow me?

Participant: Yes, I do indeed. Thank you. Bless you.

Bashar: I didn’t sneeze. That’s okay. I’m blessing you anyway.

Participant: Thank you. Blessings to all as well.

Bashar: For we are all always blessed just by the fact that we exist.

Participant: Oh, thank you.

Topic 5: Safety and Belief (Returning to India)

Participant: Bashar, good day.

Bashar: Good day.

Participant: I visited India and actually lived there for several years. All right. And had to leave for various reasons. And my question is: is it safe for me to return? Do you believe it is?

Bashar: I don’t know.

Participant: That’s why I’m asking.

Bashar: If you don’t know, then it probably isn’t. Thank you. Because you see, it’s an issue of belief. You understand?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: Is it safe? If you don’t know, it would probably be wise to honor the belief system that is uncertain by making sure that you remain in an area where you believe you are safe, unless you feel there is a need to challenge yourself.

Participant: No need.

Bashar: All right. Then always it comes down to whatever you believe most likely. And when you are uncertain, it would be wise to honor the uncertainty until you know. Until you know. In that sense, it isn’t an issue of safety at all, but simply an issue of being attracted to what vibration is most compatible with your joy. You follow along?

Participant: Yes, I do. All right. Thank you.

Bashar: Thank you.

Topic 6: Megalithic Culture and Ancient Civilizations

Participant: Bashar, yes. Good day. I would like to ask a question about the spiritual life of what we call our megalithic culture, and its possible roots in an earlier worldwide culture.

Bashar: All right. What about it?

Participant: Just what was the nature of that spiritual life, and was it indeed connected to an earlier worldwide culture that we have forgotten but are now beginning to discover?

Bashar: The answer to your second question is yes. There have actually been many different civilizations on your planet that you have completely forgotten about. Well, not completely, or you wouldn’t be asking. But in terms of historical records, many of the early cultures that existed on your planet, such as what you have labeled Atlantis, such as what you have labeled Lemuria, and so forth, did exist. But there are very few remnants left at this point to indicate their physical existence. However, some of what you call the megalithic spiritual practices come from those ancient cultures. Some simply come from the understanding that ancient humans had of their direct connection to Spirit, and so they simply intuitively drew upon what they could sense was their connection to Spirit, which in many cases on your planet, in your modern civilization, has been forgotten as well. So not all of the megalithic practices necessarily had to originate in ancient cultures in order to be practiced. Some people, when they simply got back to nature, formed a personal connection and a memory of their connection to all that is, in such a way that they also brought through new practices that represented their awareness of that connection. So both. Does that answer your question?

Participant: Yes. Thank you. Do you wish to explore this in more detail in some fashion, or is that satisfactory?

Participant: Oh, I’m interested in every faction of it, but I think that for now that will do.

Bashar: Oh, all right. Thank you.

Participant: Thank you.

Topic 7: Spirit Guide Name (Marigold)

Participant: Hello, Bashar. And are you?

Bashar: Good day. Good day to you too.

Participant: Could you please tell me the name of my spirit guide? I want to get better acquainted.

Bashar: Why don’t you ask your spirit guide?

Participant: I have been asking, but nobody tells me anything.

Bashar: Then maybe you don’t need to know. Why? Because sometimes having what you call a name might actually slow your process of searching down. Oh dear. Oh dear. One moment. Okay. Do you like Marigolds?

Participant: Marigolds? Yes, I do.

Bashar: Why?

Participant: They’re very pretty. I just like them.

Bashar: Are they one of your favorite flowers?

Participant: Well, the rose is my favorite flower.

Bashar: I see. What do you feel about the marigold?

Participant: I don’t know. It just seems like it’s something necessary to have around. I don’t know why, but it’s something necessary to have around.

Bashar: If you were to use the word “Marigold” to represent the name of your spirit guide, would that feel correct?

Participant: Wow. That’d be fine.

Bashar: You may use Marigold.

Participant: Well, thank you very much.

Bashar: Marigold says you’re welcome.

Topic 8: Purpose, Mission, and Excitement

Participant: Oh, but sure. Good day.

Bashar: Hello and good day.

Participant: Um, I, uh, along the lines of my spiritual guide… well, I think I’d like to know if I do have an ET connection.

Bashar: Every being speaking with us today has some kind of an ET connection, or you wouldn’t be speaking with us today.

Participant: That makes sense. Did I make any agreements?

Bashar: Yes. Mhm.

Participant: Has… have I visited… um, I had an experience when I was in Diamond Bar, and I felt that I was taken. I wonder if my DNA was checked out.

Bashar: It has been. Not necessarily by the strongest connection you have, but by others. Yes.

Participant: Interesting. Um, I feel that I have a purpose. I’m not real clear on that. But I too have a connection with guides.

Bashar: All right. As we have already explained, once again, let us clarify this concept of purpose and mission. Yes, you all have the same purpose. You all have the same mission: to be yourself as fully as you can in whatever way gives you the highest joy. That’s your purpose. That’s your mission. Now, not to be confused with how you express your purpose. The idea of doing a specific thing is not your purpose; it’s the expression of your purpose of being yourself. So when you find something that is representative of your highest passion, your highest joy, as you say, your greatest bliss, that vibration is telling you: “This is what is most aligned at this moment with the purpose of being yourself as fully as you can.” So act on it. Follow it. Do it. The expression is just the expression and may change from moment to moment. Follow your excitement to the best of your ability, and if by doing that, you will always be aligned with the purpose and the mission to be yourself. How you express it from moment to moment, day to day, is really up to you, and that can actually change over time. So please do not get locked into the idea that if you’re excited to do one thing one day and then something else another day, that somehow you are confused about what your purpose is. Those are just expressions of your purpose, and they all fall under the same umbrella of simply being the fullest you you can be. Because only by being the fullest you you can be do you then provide to everyone else the greatest example of what they can also be too. Yes? You follow?

Participant: I follow.

Bashar: You see how it all works together? By being the self you need to be, by being the you you need to be as fully as you can, that’s how you assist others best. Because if you’re not being yourself, how can you help anyone? You follow me? That is the truth.

Participant: Thank you. Thank you. Does that answer your question?

Participant: Yes, very much. Thank you.

Bashar: Thank you. You see, it’s all actually very simple. The universe is very complex, but complex in terms of its richness. It is not complicated. Only you make it complicated. But it is actually very simple. And we understand that because of your history, one of the greatest difficulties humans have is believing that things are that simple. But that’s all right. You’re learning, and we are here to help and happy to help remind you—not teach you—because it’s not something that you don’t know. It’s something that you do know in your heart of hearts. So we are not here to tell you something you don’t know. We are here to remind you of what you already know so that you can awaken to what you already know and remember what you already know. Because all you did, in a sense, is create an experience of dismemberment. You compartmentalized, fragmented your consciousness. You gave yourself the experience of disconnection from the Source. It doesn’t mean you actually can be disconnected; that’s not possible. If you were truly able to disconnect from the Source, you wouldn’t exist. But you have created historically an experience of forgetfulness, an experience of disconnection that makes it seem as if you don’t know who you are. So this, what you now call on your planet your “New Age,” your “spiritual awakening,” your “Age of Consciousness,” is all about remembering who you are and no longer forgetting. That’s all it is. You’re not learning something you don’t already know; you’re just remembering what you chose to forget for a while. You follow me?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: That’s all it is. So this is just an Awakening. Does that help?

Participant: Yes. Makes it simpler, doesn’t it?

Bashar: Thank you. “Simpler.” That’s a distinction you’re choosing to make. When someone says, “Well, yes, I understand it intellectually, but I don’t quite get it in my heart,” that’s the result of buying into belief systems that say there’s a difference. When you don’t make a difference, you’ll know that you get it everywhere at once, and you will feel that it is so. But understand: thoughts come from your feelings. Your feelings come from your beliefs. You cannot feel one way or another about anything if you actually don’t believe something to be true. First, if you don’t have a belief about something, you cannot actually have an emotional experience about it. So if you have a feeling, that tells you you have a belief generating that feeling. So if you have a feeling you don’t prefer—I feel doubtful, I feel scared, I feel undeserving, I feel lost, I feel disconnected—that tells you you have a belief that is generating that feeling. So the feeling puts you in touch with the fact that you have a belief. Find out what that belief is and change it, and then you will change the resultant feeling. It’s that simple. Now, you don’t have to make it that simple. You can make it more complicated, and that’s your choice. It’s always your choice. And if you feel you need to make it that complicated and give yourself a process to change through, by all means, you are blessed to do so. We are not here to change your mind and change your beliefs. We are here to let you know there are other beliefs you could choose. But that’s up to you. You have free will. We know what works for us. We know what might work for you if you’re willing to use it. But you don’t have to. And in that sense, we don’t care if you do, because from our point of view, you are already powerful, unlimited Spiritual Beings, and whatever you choose to do in physical reality is up to you. It’s your game. It’s your lesson. It’s your choice. We will never interfere with that. But we will suggest other things that might make it easier if you’re willing to give it a shot. But it’s your choice.

Topic 9: Synchronicity and Inner Knowledge

Participant: Hello, Bashar. And are you?

Bashar: Good day.

Participant: I think that I don’t have to ask the question I was going to.

Bashar: Congratulations. Because you read my question already and you gave most of the answers. This will happen through synchronicity quite often in these interactions. Yet it’s my belief from what I’ve heard that answers and all knowledge is within ourselves if we unlock the doors and listen to our inner self.

Bashar: Every question that you ask tells you that the only reason you even have the ability to conceive of the question is that you must have the answer somewhere within your consciousness already, or you would never have been capable of actually even conceiving of the question. So all you need to do is take that curved little question mark and straighten it out into an exclamation point. It’ll come right to you, and you will know that you have the information within you.

Participant: Yes. I have another question, and this refers to something that happened 10 years ago. All right. There were 11 of us in downtown Upland—that witnessed a large thing, large UFO of some sort floating over the town, tacking as it were up towards Cajon Pass, which is the mountains up there. And we got no answers from anybody, including the people in Seattle. We have no answers whatsoever. Do you know what it was?

Bashar: It was a craft.

Participant: Well, that’s what we figured. Yes. Well, where was it from, may I ask?

Bashar: May I ask you a question first? All right. Do you have an international airport somewhere nearby?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: What airport is that?

Participant: Ontario.

Bashar: There is a large aircraft taking off from that airport right now. Who’s on it? Where are they going?

Participant: I don’t know.

Bashar: Well, do you think we keep track of every single spacecraft?

Participant: Oh yes, we… yes, we don’t.

Bashar: Okay. There are many civilizations observing your planet at this time. I’m not saying we don’t know who they are. I’m just telling you we don’t know every single craft that makes it its business to observe your world. Okay?

Participant: Be that way. Thank you.

Bashar: However, what I can tell you about that particular craft is this: it is the same group involved in the sighting that has now been labeled the Phoenix Lights. And it is a group that belongs to a hybrid race of beings—not ours. The hybrid race of beings that will be the first extraterrestrial group your planet will actually have official open contact with. They first allow their ships to be seen at close range by large groups of people to gauge the reaction and see where you’re at and see if you’re ready for more. That’s who was involved with that sighting. They show themselves, see how you react, see how the information spreads or doesn’t, and that tells them a lot about how ready your planet is to assimilate contact. Does that help you?

Participant: Thank you. But sure.

Topic 10: Animal Communication and Following Joy

Participant: I have a personal question. Good day. Um, I am an animal communicator. I love working with the animals. Yes. How do you suggest I get this information out to the public to be of service?

Bashar: How do you want to get it out to the public? What would be your highest joy? What methodology? What idea? What expression represents your highest excitement?

Participant: Speaking in public about it.

Bashar: All right. Does that excite you more than any other way? Doing the actual work?

Participant: Well, I know you’re going to do the actual work, but you talked about sharing it with the public. So does speaking about it in public represent the most exciting way you can think of to dispense the information, to share the information? Or is there some other way that would be more exciting, or is there some other way that would be just as exciting that you can do simultaneously?

Participant: That’s why I need your help to clarify that for me.

Bashar: Well, I’m attempting to clarify it by asking these questions to help you understand that you already know, but you don’t believe that you know. You understand?

Participant: Yes, I do.

Bashar: So I’m asking you: if you imagine yourself speaking about it in public, what comes up? What feelings come up when you see yourself doing that? Can you see yourself doing that?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: All right. When you see yourself doing that in your mind’s eye, when you visualize that, what feeling/feelings come up when you see yourself doing that?

Participant: Excitement.

Bashar: All right. Anything else? Any fear? No fear? No doubt? No hesitation? No? All right. Do you see yourself doing it in a particular kind of place?

Participant: Auditorium.

Bashar: Is that a question?

Participant: Well, I’m seeing an auditorium.

Bashar: All right. Does that feel exciting?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: All right. Then here is what you do: anytime that you have a visualization in your mind’s eye, in your imagination, that represents the thing you say you would find most exciting, look at that person, look at that version of you in that picture. Is she behaving differently than you behave on a day-to-day basis?

Participant: I don’t believe so.

Bashar: All right. Are you acting like her in thought, word, and deed?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: All right. Then when will you advertise such a talk?

Participant: I guess I’ll start that now.

Bashar: You guess? I thought you said this was your highest passion.

Participant: Yes. I will start that now. Thank you.

Bashar: Because you see, if you don’t, you’re not behaving like she would. You follow me?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: The reason you have the pictures in your mind—this comes from your higher self. That’s what imagination is for. Imagination is the communication link between your higher self and your physical mind. The pictures that come that represent you doing the thing that excites you the most mirror that person. Mimic that person. Behave like that version of you that you see in that picture, and you will have her or his reality. But if you’re not doing the things she would do—because if she gives talks and that’s what excites her, and she is going to advertise those talks, isn’t she?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: Well, then if you’re not doing that, you’re not being her. And if you’re not being her, you can’t have her reality. Got it? Remember the TV analogy: you only get the program you’re tuned to, the frequency of. Got it? So if you’re not behaving in thought, word, and deed, in body language, every single bit as you see her behaving and doing all the things she would do the way she would do them—even if you see her grocery shopping, shop the way she would shop—be her, you will have her reality reflected to you. Thank you. You follow?

Participant: Yes. Does yes, it does. Thank you. Have fun.

Topic 11: Feeling Alien / Universe Inside

Participant: Hi, Bashar. And are you?

Bashar: Good day. And a good day to you too. Thank you. You’re welcome.

Participant: Uh, from the time I was a little girl, um, I would close my eyes and I would see the universe inside me.

Bashar: Yes. The universe inside you.

Participant: Yes. Yes. And I’ve always wondered if I were a human…

Bashar: Of course you are. But you also connected to many other things.

Participant: Okay. Yeah. I just haven’t felt comfortable with my life on this plane.

Bashar: And I understand that many of you are having a similar sensation now in your Age of Awakening. But the idea is not to assume that you, as a human, come from somewhere else. As a spirit, you’re everywhere. As a consciousness, you’re everywhere. You’re connected to everything. So of course, when you awaken, you’re going to suddenly feel some of those connections. It doesn’t mean that you come from somewhere else. You chose to be human. But the idea of becoming aware of the fact that you have other connections going on simultaneously means you can draw upon those other connections and bring that energy down to earth to create the reality on Earth that you prefer to create. You follow me?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: But at first, I understand, because of the way humans tend to think of themselves, it may at first feel like an alienating process—no pun intended. You may at first feel like you don’t belong on Earth. But you do, because you chose to be on Earth. Look here you are. Because that was the product of a choice. It’s always the product of a choice. You follow me?

Participant: Yes, absolutely.

Bashar: But now you’re remembering that you are also, as a consciousness, in a lot of other dimensions simultaneously. So you’re awakening to that, drawing on that. Use it however you wish. Use it how it excites you. That’s the point. Okay? Bring it down to earth.

Participant: Thank you. Does that make sense? Does that help you?

Participant: Yes, absolutely. Thank you.

Bashar: Thank you. You’re welcome.

Topic 12: Relying on Others for Change

Participant: Hi, Andre. You good day?

Bashar: It’s nice to see you again.

Participant: Well, you’re not seeing me, but thank you. Nice to feel you again.

Bashar: Thank you.

Participant: Um, I have a question on how you expedite change when you’re relying on somebody else to help you make that change or help you to reach a goal. Thank you.

Bashar: The simple answer to your question is: you don’t rely on anyone else to make the change you want to make within yourself.

Participant: Well, it’s not really within myself.

Bashar: Yes, it is. I know you think it’s external, but it’s not. Remember, there is no external reality. That’s an illusion. Anything that changes, quote-unquote, “out there” only changes because you change in “here.” That’s the only way anything out there can change. So if you relax your expectations, relax your belief system about what you have been taught to think is supposed to be the way it’s got to happen, then you can actually allow it to happen the way it actually can occur with whomever else it needs to occur.

The idea is to simply be the state of being of the reality you prefer and allow—not make—allow the outer reality to bring to you whatever components actually are representative of that change, even if it’s not with whom you think it’s supposed to be. Do you see where we’re going with this?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: So you need to relax the idea of the components you think are necessary for the change to take place and allow your higher mind to actually show you what components are actually necessary and which ones are not. Here’s the key to understand: Physical mind does not have—and I mean literally does not have—the capability of understanding how something will happen. Physical mind only has the capability of understanding how something did happen. Higher mind has the capability of understanding how something will happen. So when physical mind thinks it’s got to arrange things to make something happen in a way it thinks best, it’s actually doing the job of the higher mind, and it’s not designed to function like that. So when you have a particular overall vision of something, use it as a general picture to generate the energy, the state of being that you prefer, but let the higher mind show you what the actual circumstances need to be as a reflection for that to manifest. Don’t insist that you think you know who it’s supposed to be with, whom, where it’s supposed to happen, how it’s supposed to happen, when it’s supposed to happen. Let the higher mind bring that to you because that’s what it’s designed to do. Does this make sense?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: Does this help relax the idea that you’re going through…?

Participant: It helps to understand, but I still feel the impatience.

Bashar: All right. But here’s the key. You see, because the only reason any of you feel impatience is because you think you need patience. And you don’t. You will never feel impatient if you don’t believe you need patience. You don’t need patience. Why? I’ll tell you. Thank you. You don’t need patience because if you simply generate the state of being within yourself at every given moment that you prefer, where else do you want to be but here and now? The only reason you have impatience is because you think you need patience to wait to get to somewhere else you think is going to be better than where you are. When you are simply where you are as fully as you can be, loving every minute of it, because you’re defining everything that’s going on as a part of your joy and not an interruption in it, then you will use everything that’s going on to your advantage, and you won’t care if you’re anywhere else. You will just be here, be now, use it fully. And the paradox is, when you use what is right here, right now, as fully as you can, it will change to something else quicker than insisting that it change—which means it never will. Because when you’re focused on the idea that something isn’t changing, what are you telling it to do? Not change. Because you’re focused on the fact it isn’t changing, and that’s what it’s getting from you: no change, no change, no change, stay the same. When you use it because you’re grateful and appreciative that it is there for you to use in a positive way to become more of who you are, you will be overjoyed at everything that’s happened in your life right now. You’ll use it to your advantage, and when you use it, it has no reason to stick around. It will become something else because that which you’ve already used has no reason to stay. The only reason things stay the same is because you’re not using them in a way you could be using them.

Here’s the bottom line: Circumstances don’t matter. Only your state of being matters. I’ll say it again: Circumstances don’t matter. Only your state of being matters. Circumstances do not create state of being. State of being creates circumstances. Your circumstances don’t matter. Only your state of being determines what you will get out of the circumstances that exist. Positive meaning in, positive effect out. Negative meaning in, negative effect out. These things don’t belong in my life—they have no business being here. I understand that you can say you don’t prefer something, but that’s not a judgmental point of view; that’s just an observation. But when you have fear behind the fact that something’s not changing, it’s a judgment that makes it stick around because you’re empowering it as if it had the ability to make up its mind to stick around without you choosing it to do so, which it doesn’t have.

So the idea is that once you accept, acknowledge, and own everything that’s happening in your life—because you cannot change what you do not own—then it will change as you use it. If you use everything in a positive way, put positive meaning into everything that’s going on, that no matter what anyone else’s intention might be in the circumstance, you, by putting positive meaning into it, will only get a positive effect out of it, regardless of what anyone else gets. Because the greatest gift creation has given all of you—I know this is going to sound funny in your language—but the greatest gift creation has given all of you is that life is basically meaningless. There is no built-in meaning to the situations and circumstances in your life. You have been given the free will to assign meaning to the circumstances, and the meaning you assign, whether consciously or unconsciously, will determine the effect you get out of those circumstances. So positive meaning in, positive effect out. Negative meaning in, negative effect out. This is simply the Third Law of Creation: What you put out is what you get back. That’s all there is to this.

So the more you identify and define your state of being as it is now as the state of being you prefer it to be, the more reality can reflect that vibration to you. But if you need reality to reflect it to you, you’re getting it backwards. Because you are the sole determiner of what state of being you exist in at any given moment, regardless of what’s going on around you. And the true test—the true test of whether you have actually changed or not—is not whether the outer reality has changed to reflect the change you think you have made, but whether you respond differently to the outer reality even if it still looks the same. That’s how you know you’ve actually changed.

Participant: Can I ask a follow-up question to that, Bashar?

Bashar: Yes.

Participant: Um, this is starting to talk to you earlier about my future from here. Like Daryl’s worked in the film industry. My background’s been in broadcasting. All right. And it hasn’t… well, it either went away for a variety of reasons or it was supposed to. Now I’m involved in like facilitating a spiritual group, and I thoroughly enjoy that. All right. And I’m not sure, in my case again, looking for the clarity of it, if I’m supposed to do a combination of the two like Daryl does, or take, say, the voice things I did like in radio and devote them totally to the spiritual thing. I’m kind of getting what you were saying earlier, but clarity is not totally there.

Bashar: The idea of following your joy is more precisely and specifically spelled out like this: Stay in the state of being you prefer. Stay in a state of joy, a state of excitement. Generate it every moment as best you can. Act. Act to the best of your ability on whatever situation or circumstance pops up that represents, at that moment, the most exciting thing you can think of to act on that you have the greatest degree of ability to take action on. If you don’t have the ability to take action on something, then your excitement is telling you that, at that moment, you don’t need to. You follow me?

Participant: Yes. And today, the most exciting thing for me to do was to help stage this event and have you be here. All right.

Bashar: Thank you very much. So in the very next moment after this one is done, when you look around at all the options available to you of things that could excite you, all you have to do every single moment is act on the thing that excites you the most out of all the options available to you that you have the highest degree of ability to take action on. That’s all you need to do. No matter what it is. Whatever excites you the most that you have the greatest ability to act on, act on it. The next moment, whatever excites you the most you have the greatest degree of ability to act on, act on it. Because excitement is the thread that leads to all other excitement and attracts to you all circumstances for you to act on to allow your excitement to continue to grow and expand. And if circumstances don’t come that you think ought to, then if you’re truly following your excitement and those circumstances don’t show up for you to act on, your excitement is telling you that right now you don’t need to act on them. And you have to trust that. You follow me?

Participant: Thank you so much. Does that help?

Participant: Absolutely. Thank you.

Topic 13: Time, Space, and “Slippery” Reality

Participant: Hello, Bashar. And you?

Bashar: Good day.

Participant: I love your sense of humor.

Bashar: We love yours as well.

Participant: Well, you’ve made me laugh today, and I’m confused in a bit on what to ask. I in a way feel maybe you have a message for me, but I do want to ask something about time in our what we think is our reality. Yes. Especially since I had a circumstance with it the other day when… is time becoming a little slippery?

Bashar: Oh, I don’t know about that word “slippery.”

Participant: But I lost time the other day. Lost time.

Bashar: Oh, where did it go?

Participant: It ended. I ended up somewhere that I don’t even know how I… it’s becoming slippery.

Bashar: Yes, that’s slippery. Yes. You see, the idea is that you create the experience of space and time with your consciousness. It doesn’t exist empirically. It’s simply one of the definitions of the physical reality experience. And physical reality is an illusion, so it only takes its cue from your definitions of it. And as you awaken into more of your consciousness and connect to those parts that are in a sense above space and time, so to speak, then some of that will leak down into your physical experience as well, and you will have malleable, flexible, plastic experiences with both space and time more and more and more. Because you’re creating it. So there will be times when you won’t create it, and you will simply have what you may call a “jumping” experience. Yes. So the idea is that this will become a common symptom of the Awakening of Consciousness: that time and space will become more flexible, will become less solid, less rigidly structured. This is a common symptom of the Awakening of Consciousness.

Participant: So is that my message? I’m Awakening? Or what is?

Bashar: Yes. Again, look at it literally. When you do something you love to do and you look up and go, “Oh, where did the time go?” or “I’ve lost time,” or “I didn’t experience the passage of time,” it’s because you weren’t creating time. So when you do something you really love to do, you become so involved in it that to you it feels like, oh, let’s say for example, half an hour has passed. But then you look up around you and everyone says, “Oh no, it’s been 5 hours.” They have aged five hours. You have only aged half an hour.

Participant: Ooh. I like that.

Bashar: That’s why doing what you love makes you live longer. Because you don’t create as much time. You literally age less.

Participant: But what happens if, in this space that you’re creating… like I lived a half an hour, but I ended up somewhere where I didn’t really want to be? Because space and time are flexible and malleable.

Bashar: And you did want to be there, or you would have wound up somewhere else.

Participant: Will I figure out why I ended up there someday?

Bashar: What is it you are puzzled about with respect to where you wound up?

Participant: I don’t understand the message. Why… why do you think there is any more of a message other than space and time are at your beck and call?

Participant: Oh, okay. I get you. Thank you.

Bashar: Thank you. My goodness. That’s not enough of a message, I guess. I have just traveled and malleable and flexed space and time. I wonder if there’s a message. Message. Okay. Thank you for making me laugh. Let it be obvious. Let it be obvious.

Participant: Can I just ask one thing really quick?

Bashar: I suppose you can, since you just did.

Participant: Okay. I’m laughing so hard I’m hot now.

Bashar: That’s good. Because laughter keeps you in the present, and I’m getting younger by the second.

Participant: You are. Um, is there an entity that has passed on that’s here, that was in my life, that’s here to tell me something? I feel it. Do you?

Bashar: Oh no. Here we go. Are you living your joy?

Participant: I’m having a good time right now.

Bashar: Thank you. In general, in life?

Participant: Yes. I have felt very joyous lately.

Bashar: Is there something that you have always dreamed of doing that you are hesitating to do?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: What?

Participant: Be a great service to others.

Bashar: In what way?

Participant: To provide my time to help people.

Bashar: In what way?

Participant: Well, I’m lost for words. I mean, maybe just…

Bashar: Oh, you’ve lost time and words. [Laughter] When I asked you if there was something you wanted to do that you hesitated to do, you immediately said yes. You must have had some particular picture of what that would be like.

Participant: This is huge. I look at the world and I see people starving. I see people just needing help in many ways.

Bashar: So are you feeling overwhelmed?

Participant: Maybe. Yes. Because I don’t have an answer on how to help.

Bashar: Do you think you don’t make a difference because you’re just one person, and so you are hesitant to start doing anything because you don’t think that will make a difference?

Participant: No. I think I have done things. I want to do it on a bigger scale.

Bashar: Is that a wrong way to think? No. The idea is to simply do it however you wish to do it, but do it without making all sorts of assumptions as to what effect you think it’s supposed to have. Do it because that’s who you are. You see, humans on your planet get all mixed up in their definitions of impact. You think you have to have a certain kind of impact before you will do something. You have to know it’s going to have a certain kind of impact, or it’s not worth doing. I will tell you a secret about impact: All of you already have 100% of the impact you will ever have on your entire planet just by existing on it. You can never have more impact than you have right now. Ever. Because you already have 100% impact right now. When you decide to do something, to follow your joy, to express yourself outwardly, to be of assistance, you are actually not creating impact. You are revealing, feeling the impact you already have. You see the difference?

Participant: Yes, I do.

Bashar: So you don’t have to do anything special to create impact. All you have to do is follow your joy to reveal the impact you already have just by the fact of your existence. That’s all you have to do. So there’s no reason to not act on your joy because it’s not going to change the impact you already have. It will just reveal more of it.

Participant: That’s wonderful. Does that help you?

Participant: I like that. Is there anything else I need to know, or should I pass this on?

Bashar: Again, I will only ask: Is there some specific way you feel driven to express your joy? Some specific activity? Some specific expression?

Participant: I just see myself doing it with a group of people, or a lot of people. Helping other people.

Bashar: Helping them in what way? Physically? Specifically, what are you actually seeing yourself physically doing?

Participant: Providing shelter for people. Providing food.

Bashar: All right. Thank you. But I don’t know. Those are the things that come to my mind.

Bashar: Well, if they excite you, go do them to whatever capacity you’re capable. Okay? You follow?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: It’s as simple as that. Okay. Do them to whatever capacity you’re capable. Remember what we said: the full definition of following your excitement was: act on the thing that is most exciting that you have the greatest degree of ability to take action on. Just because you may not be able to build a 500-story hotel for the homeless doesn’t mean you can’t help one person find a home. You follow me?

Participant: I do understand that. But is there a “but” in there? I’m sorry, I don’t want to take up all this time.

Bashar: Yeah, my “but” is… if we’re capable of doing…

Participant: Moment. One moment. I thought we agreed that time was an illusion. So what time are you taking up?

Participant: Okay, I got you. Thank you. Have fun. If we’re capable of doing… from what I take it, anything?

Bashar: Yes.

Participant: Why can’t I build the big hotel?

Bashar: Ah, very good question. Why can’t you? There is no reason why you can’t other than the reasons you may invent.

Participant: Okay. All right. Yes. Thank you very much.

Bashar: Now you have hit the message squarely on the head. I appreciate it.

Participant: Thank you. Thank you.

Topic 14: Death and the Spirit Realm

Participant: Hello, Bashar. And are you?

Bashar: Good day.

Participant: Um, I have some questions… up and be bold so that all may hear what you have to say. I’m so sorry. I have some questions regarding our spirit when we pass over out of our physical body that we have now. I think your language calls that death.

Bashar: Yes, it does.

Participant: All right. Questions about what happens when your spirit passes over. Yes. My understanding is that we are surrounded by those who have already died.

Bashar: Maybe. Often. Yes. Often. Not always immediately, depending upon what belief systems you brought with you into the experience. Because there are individuals who might believe that there will be nothing there for them, that they won’t survive, and so they may immediately get an experience of their strongest belief. Doesn’t mean those individuals aren’t there, but you may not perceive them if your belief system is strong enough to prevent you from doing so. Do you?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: Do you create in your belief system that you have here and now, that we have as humans here and now?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: Do we create our concept of the reality that we have if there is an “over there” over there?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: And you may experience that initially upon your arrival. It doesn’t mean it will last. Because if it comes from the physical side, it may not have the same degree of energetic consistency of what is created from the Spirit side. But you may create it strongly enough from the physical side to experience it at least temporarily upon your arrival. Eventually, it will dissolve, whether quickly or slowly, depending on how willing you are to let go of it.

Participant: And then what is it? Once that idea of our reality dissolves, what is that “over there”? If you can elaborate on that.

Bashar: It is a timeless, spaceless dimension of spirit and energy and light that can manifest itself in any form you immediately wish it to. There’s no space and time lag. You’re still creating reality there, but you’re creating it instantaneously without any time lag or space requirements. You understand?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: You’re doing the same thing in physical reality, but you’re doing it through the experience of time and space. So you’re experiencing the process of the creation in physical reality. In Spirit reality, you simply experience instantaneous manifestation with no time lag. Whatever you believe most strongly, whatever you wish to see most strongly, whatever you wish to experience most strongly, you experience immediately in Spirit. No matter what it is. You can recreate the house you had in physical reality. You can create a whole other reality that never existed on Earth. You can go to other dimensions. You can do whatever you wish. Space and time there are not limiting factors. Does that make sense?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: So what you just said, as far as creating the house that you live in now, if you wish, and it could be there for a moment, and then you could redesign a whole other instantaneously, and another one, and another one instantaneously if that gives you pleasure. Or you can allow it to remain as long as you wish it to remain. Or you can alter little things about it. You can change the environment around the house. You can do anything you wish. You can have purple sunsets that are square every night if you wish. It’s up to you. There is literally no limit on that level to what your imagination can create.

Participant: And what of the other people who have died before us? What about sharing? Is there a sharing of that energy, of that spirit, that love?

Bashar: Can be. And the key word is exactly that: sharing. It’s the same thing you do in physical reality. Understand, there is no way that any of you will agree to experience the same reality unless you agree to experience the same reality. Because all of you are a different reality. So the only reason you have a consensus or common experience at all is because you agree to have one. It’s the same on the Spirit level, but it happens quicker. People can agree to share that reality experience with you that you’ve created, or they can experience something completely different. It just depends on what you agree to share. Okay? Does that make sense?

Participant: Yes, it does. Is this illuminating the situation, or is it only adding more confusion?

Participant: I believe for myself that it has always been my idea, yes. And you have just kind of added to that.

Bashar: All right. If you wish, there are two books that exist on your planet, if you are not aware of them, called Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls, that quite clearly delineate what happens in the spirit realm. Because it is derived from hypnotherapeutic sessions of people who are allowed to remember what it is like in the spirit world before they chose to come to Earth. They are relatively accurate, these books. So if you wish to upgrade your understanding of all the different kinds of experiences that can be had in the spirit realm, then by all means avail yourself of those books: Journey of Souls, Destiny of Souls.

Participant: All right. Thank you.

Bashar: I’d also heard it said there’s a motion picture that was made a few years ago called What Dreams May Come that visually…

Bashar: That was a relatively close… It is relatively close visually. There are some assumptions in it that don’t necessarily have to go the way that they took the story, but generally speaking, yes, it is a relatively accurate representation of what is possible in the spirit realm.

Topic 15: Out of Body Experiences and Healing Energy

Participant: Yes. Good day, Bashar. And do you?

Bashar: Good day.

Participant: I have a question. When I go to sleep at night, guys, I wake up and I wake up ready to go to school, but I’m very tired. And I’ve been told that I go… I come out of my soul, my spirit comes out of my body, and I have an Out of Body Experience.

Bashar: Yes. That has happened for many people on your Earth. It’s very common.

Participant: Yes. I wondered where… what specific places do I go?

Bashar: Oh, many different places. The most common place most of you will go when you go out of your body—now, this does not mean every dream is representative of a spirit journey, but a lot of them are—but a lot of them, you will go into the spirit realm, back to your soul family, group, friends, and family that you know in Spirit. And many times you will have experiences with them. You may attend a kind of class. You may learn different things on that level that you will bring back into your physical reality to experience. You may go exploring with them in other dimensions. There are many different kinds of things you can choose to do on that level with your friends and family that may still be in Spirit. You understand?

Participant: Yes, I do. Does that answer your question, or do you want to explore more about this?

Participant: I have another question. Oh, all right. Um, there was one night I woke up and my hands, they were very hot and burning. Yes. And my skin was peeling. Yes. And couldn’t pick up certain things ‘cause they were burned.

Bashar: I don’t… All right. All right. This can happen sometimes when what is called a dimensional shift is happening, or higher frequency energy is passing through your body that your body hasn’t gotten used to yet. It can create a little bit of resistance because your body’s not used to it, and that energy resistance can translate as heat. Many people who have the ability to be healers can transfer this kind of energy through their body and specifically through their hands. And because it’s a higher frequency energy than you’re used to, it may feel a little bit hot or a little uncomfortable until you get used to it. But it’s simply energy that is training your body to get used to higher frequencies. Eventually, you’ll get used to it. Eventually, it will cool down to some degree, although it may heat up when you choose to use it. But you’ll get used to it in such a way that it will not be harmful, and in that sense, you’ll apply it to many things in life. You follow me?

Participant: Yes, I do follow. Does this help you?

Participant: Yes. Does that answer your question?

Participant: Yes, very much so.

Bashar: Then pleasant dreams. Thank you. And say hello to your spirit family when you meet them.

Participant: Thank you.

Topic 16: Guiding Children (New Species)

Participant: Hi, Bashar. Good day.

Bashar: Good day.

Participant: Um, uh, Jasmine just spoke. She is my child.

Bashar: All right. Here on Earth. Another flower. Yes. And do understand that many of the children that are being born on your planet now, and that have been born within the last decade or so, are not just a new generation. They are a new species.

Participant: I got that. And I’m getting that very much so.

Bashar: They are not forgetting as much as the generation before them. They are more in touch with Spirit. There are fewer barriers between physical and non-physical reality for them. Because they must upgrade their vibration and upgrade their energy in order to participate in the world to come. Wow. Many of you are already very upgraded, but you don’t know it because you’re used to the vibration you exist on now. But if there were to be a person who were to be visiting your world, a time traveler from 300 years ago, and they were to come to your present day and age, if they were to do that, they would see your bodies as glowing with light because the frequency of your present reality is so much higher than it was 300 years ago. But you don’t notice it because you’re used to it. But they would notice. You follow me?

Participant: We follow.

Bashar: What did you wish to discuss?

Participant: I wanted to ask you: how may I guide this child by being as loving and creative and imaginative and inventive as you possibly can be now?

Bashar: Do you not understand that this is the product of an agreement?

Participant: I do understand.

Bashar: This is a product of a… then all you need to do is be yourself. Because to whom else did she agree to be born?

Participant: To me. She chose me.

Bashar: So all you have to do is be yourself. And what does that mean? Follow your joy. Thank. Be imaginative, creative, loving. Be yourself as best as you can so that you will fulfill your purpose and fulfill the agreement. That’s all you have to do. It’s that simple if you want it to be.

Participant: Yes. You want it to be more complicated, it can be.

Participant: No. I want to stop making things complicated in my life. I’m really tired of it.

Bashar: I know. Because it’s very tiring when you carry baggage around that doesn’t belong to you. Definitely let go of the baggage, which is the belief systems and definitions that your parents may have given you that aren’t yours, so that you won’t pass baggage along to her.

Participant: Thank you. That isn’t hers.

Bashar: All right. Yes. Thank you. It’s all right to let that go. Letting that baggage go doesn’t mean you don’t love your parents or honor them.

Participant: I got that. Disconnect from that belief attachment. At heart, in their soul, no matter what kind of a physical upbringing any of you had, no matter what limitations the physical consciousness had placed upon it, and what attributes the parents may have been incapable of showing, in their hearts and in their souls, all parents love you unconditionally and would want you to be yourself. Guaranteed. So let go of anything that’s not yours. It’s wearing you out.

Participant: Yes, it is.

Bashar: Let it go. It doesn’t belong to you. You have absolutely no reason but your own to keep lugging it around.

Participant: All right. Yes. Thank you. Thank you.

Topic 17: Future and Clarity

Participant: Okay. Bashar. And good day to you.

Bashar: Good day.

Participant: Um, I would be happy to follow any suggestions you could give me in regard to mine and my family’s future.

Bashar: Your future? I see. You have, of course, been paying attention to the idea we have been sharing about following your excitement.

Participant: Yes. Yes.

Bashar: If you are willing to do that, do you understand that excitement is both the driving engine and the organizing principle that will then create the future that is concurrent with that state of being?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: Then what do I need to say?

Participant: I was just hoping you had suggestions.

Bashar: That was a suggestion.

Participant: Is that it? Is that all?

Bashar: It’s the overriding suggestion.

Participant: Oh. I see. You want me to make it more complicated.

Bashar: Yes. No. I just wanted to be more clear.

Participant: Why is that not clear?

Bashar: That is clear. What do you think is missing?

Participant: I have been trying to be more clear all my life.

Bashar: I see. Now you just said what I said was clear.

Participant: Yes. Yes.

Bashar: Do you have to try to make that clearer, or is it clear?

Participant: No, that’s clear. When I’m alone, I get kind of foggy.

Bashar: Ah. When I’m alone, I get foggy. May I tell you a secret?

Participant: Yes, sir.

Bashar: You’re never alone. Even when you think you are, you’re not. Why is there a difference for you in your belief system between this interaction right now, where you’re clear, and your own energy when this interaction is not going on? Why is there a difference?

Participant: I feel it’s more difficult for me to be excited when I’m by myself.

Bashar: All right. Stop right there. Thank you for your honesty. Very good. Congratulations. Now let’s have the real sentence. Because what did we say earlier? Anytime you have a feeling, it means you have a what?

Participant: A belief.

Bashar: A belief that is generating that feeling. Because you cannot have a feeling unless you have a belief. So when you say, “It’s more difficult for me to be clear when I’m by myself,” what you’re saying is: “I believe it’s more difficult for me to be clear when I’m by myself.” You follow on it?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: All right. Why do you believe that?

Participant: It feels that way.

Bashar: No, no, no, no, no. This is not a circular argument. I understand that feelings can reinforce beliefs, but that’s not why you believe that to begin with. Because, remember, as I said, the belief comes first. I understand you may have a belief that generates a feeling, and then the feeling may reinforce the belief. But you don’t believe that way because of the feeling. You feel that way because of the belief. So where did the belief come from that you are not as powerful by yourself as you are when you’re interacting with others?

Participant: I would like to know the answer. I don’t know why I believe that.

Bashar: How does it serve you to believe that?

Participant: It doesn’t.

Bashar: If it didn’t, you wouldn’t believe it. So what I’m saying to you—this is what I’m attempting to illuminate for you—is the true understanding of the mechanism of belief and how beliefs reinforce themselves. Because beliefs only exist within you because you believe with another belief that you’re getting something out of maintaining the other belief. Beliefs create a complex reinforcing system. And if you have a belief that you don’t prefer but can’t seem to change, that tells you right then and there that you have another belief that’s telling you to hang on to that belief for some reason.

Let me give you an understanding of motivation. Motivation is very simple. What you do, what you hang on to, what you believe, what you think, all comes from what you’re motivated to choose to believe. The only reason that you’re motivated to choose to believe a certain thing is the same reason for all of you, and it goes for any belief in any situation, any circumstance whatsoever. No exceptions. Not even you. You all are motivated to do this: You will always move toward what you perceive or define to be more pleasurable, and you will always move away from what you perceive or define to be more painful. Always. Immediately. Automatically. This is built in. You do not have to do anything in order to move according to motivation.

What you need to understand is what it is you are defining as pleasurable and what it is you are defining as painful. Even though you may recognize that you may have a belief that isn’t what you prefer, that causes pain and discomfort and difficulty, if the alternative is being defined as more painful, you will hold on to whatever belief you have, no matter how painful it is, because you’re not motivated to change. Because you’re defining the thing you say you want to change to… If you find out what that belief is that you’ve attached to the thing you say you want to change to, and you find out that it is a belief that would give you more pain to make the change than not, find out why you would have that belief attached to it and change that. Then, believe me, you will automatically move in the direction of the new definition and away from where you have been staying. Automatically.

So if you have difficulty making a change in your belief, it means that whatever it is you think you actually want has somehow been attached to a belief that makes you think you don’t want it. And you have to find out what that belief is in order for you to change that and change your motivational actions. Is this making sense to you mechanically?

Participant: Yes. And I want to find out.

Bashar: All right. Well, this is what I’m saying. I’m taking you through this process very quickly. The idea simply is that anytime you find that you have this situation occurring, all you have to do is sit in a quiet space and ask yourself: “What would I have to believe is true about this situation in order for me to stay where I don’t want to stay and not choose what I say I want? What would I have to believe is true about that situation for me to not choose it?” Thank you. If you sit quietly and ask that question, you’ll eventually get an answer if you are willing to hear the answer. You’ll get it. Trust me. You’ll get it one way or another. It may not come in a voice in your head. It may not come in words at all. But if you understand that you’re willing to get the answer, then something in your life will show you what the answer is, and you’ll have that “aha” recognition moment. “Oh, I’ve been believing this.” Maybe you’ll overhear it at a seminar. Maybe you’ll pick up a book and there will be exactly the right line you need to read at exactly the right moment that will trigger a realization in your mind of what belief you’ve been holding on to that is preventing you from changing in the way you want to.

Your synchronicity is one of the best ways for your spirit guides to communicate with you. Because all the props in your life are already in front of your face. They don’t have to get your attention. All they have to do is turn your head just slightly, and “Oh, look at that, isn’t that a strange coincidence that popped up just then?” Spirit guides will often work through the synchronicity in your life when they are attempting to get a message to you, very often. Because of the nature of physical consciousness, you will simply not be capable of paying attention because you’re so focused on your physical reality experience. But if they can simply suddenly give you the urge to turn left down that street—“I don’t know why, just turn left”—oh, all right, and suddenly you see a sign that has exactly the word on it you’ve been looking for, then they have sent you the message using the props that are right in front of your face. And it’s easier for them to do that. Thank you. So trust that process. Open up to being willing to find out what beliefs you have attached to different things in your life, and your reality will, in no uncertain terms, one way or another, show you if you ask the question and then just be quiet and pay attention to what’s going on.

Participant: All right. Yes. Thank you. Thank you.

Topic 18: Healers and Tools as Permission Slips

Participant: Bashar. Yes. Good day.

Bashar: Good day.

Participant: Um, have I been upgraded?

Bashar: You have all been upgraded.

Participant: Am I a healer?

Bashar: Not if you ask the question.

Participant: Interesting. Are you a healer?

Bashar: Yes.

Participant: Then you’re a healer.

Bashar: Okay. How do you want to express it?

Participant: By reminding others who they are.

Bashar: In what specific way? Um, is there some particular tool, technique, or idea that you wish to put out there to do so?

Participant: Well, I’ve been a Rapid Eye Technician, and I have an eye-directing device, and through this I’ve learned how to… work with others.

Bashar: Does that still give you the highest joy to do it that way?

Participant: So far, yes.

Bashar: All right. Your slight hesitation means…

Participant: Maybe because I want to learn. I feel that’s fine.

Bashar: That’s fine. Well, obviously you’re open to receiving more information and to learn. So you trust that your life is going to give you that added information?

Participant: Yes. Yes, I do.

Bashar: Well, then okay. Now, please understand: you, and all of you, with regard to this idea of technique, tool, ritual—it doesn’t matter what technique, tool, or ritual you use. It doesn’t matter. Why? I’ll tell you. Thank you. Because all tools, all techniques, all rituals are nothing more than permission slips that you give yourself to be more of who you are. Any technique or tool you are attracted to, you are attracted to because it’s simply reflective of the belief system within you that exists at that moment. And by attracting yourself to that particular technique, tool, or ritual, what you’re doing is you are harmonizing with a particular tool that gives you that allows you to give yourself permission to be who you are based on your present belief systems. So all tools are nothing but permission slips that you give yourself to be more of who you are. It’s not coming from the technique; it’s coming from you. So no matter what way you wind up doing it, it’s up to you. Because it’s nothing but a permission slip to allow you to give yourself permission to be more of who you are. However you wish to do that is completely in your hands. Make sense?

Participant: That makes sense. That makes it a lot more simple.

Bashar: Oh, I’m sorry. Simple is good.

Participant: All right. Thank you. Yeah. One question in energy working. Uh, I noticed that you do feel a lot of heat, as she was saying over there. Now I had an incident when I was working with a client, but I felt freezing cold. Yes. What is that?

Bashar: Well, it can be many things. Many times there may be different kinds of applications of energy that will require you to shift dimensions in such a way that you have to go into a state of stasis momentarily in order to make sure that you shift completely so that your energy doesn’t get scattered. So it’s like turning yourself into an ice cube and then remelting yourself in order to make the transition. You have to become more solid, in a sense, more, shall we say, in stasis, more crystallized in order to make the shift, and then you can expand again so that you will not scatter your energy. So sometimes the freezing is an indication that you’re actually shifting dimensionalities. You follow me?

Participant: Yes. Does that help you?

Participant: Yes, it does. Thank you.

Topic 19: Job Loss and Predicting the Future

Participant: Hi, Bashar. And are you?

Bashar: Good day.

Participant: Hi. Um, my boyfriend Ken works for the Sunkist plant in Ontario, which is closing down. Oh, all right. Um, do you know how much longer he will be working there?

Bashar: I do not.

Participant: Yeah. And can you give… there’s no such thing as a prediction of the future, you know. Can you give any suggestions that would help in this situation?

Bashar: Follow his excitement.

Participant: Is he willing to follow his highest joy or not?

Bashar: I don’t know. You know.

Participant: Well, maybe you should find out.

Bashar: Because that’s the only answer I can give that will give a guaranteed result.

Participant: Okay. I think that makes sense to me. Do you understand what I mean when I say there’s no such thing as a prediction of the future?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: What do I mean?

Participant: Um, well, it’s… you can’t really predict the future.

Bashar: Why not?

Participant: Um, it’s variable.

Bashar: All right. There are an infinite number of probable future realities.

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: Yes. And when someone actually makes a prediction, they are actually not predicting the future. They are sensing the energy that exists in the present. If that energy doesn’t change, that thing will come to pass. But if it does change, it won’t. So should he follow his strongest feeling in the sense of what he feels most comfortable with doing?

Bashar: Using the word “comfortable” may be misleading because many people will make themselves comfortable by not following their highest joy. So I would be cautious about using the word “comfortable.”

Participant: So how would you explain it then?

Bashar: The idea, if he is willing to receive it, from our point of view is this: Everyone is unique.

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: Yes. All right. That uniqueness is accompanied by a particular, shall we say, energy signature.

Participant: Yes. Yes.

Bashar: All right. That energy signature represents your core, true self. You follow me?

Participant: Yes. Uhhuh.

Bashar: So what is excitement? What is bliss? What is passion? That physical sensation is the body’s physical translation of the core vibration of your true, natural self. So anytime you act on something that excites you the most, you are in most harmonious alignment with your true, natural signature frequency. Which means it’s like following the compass needle due North. This is you. This is who you are. Stay on that frequency. Stay on that path, and you will always be doing what is most truly you. And when you do that, the agreement from Creation is: when you do that, the only reflection you can possibly then get are the things that are reflective of that vibrational state. So if you want to attract a reality that is most reflective of the vibrational state of your true, natural self—which means you’re in most harmonious alignment with Creation, thus it can support you in that way, in that frequency—then always act on your highest joy and don’t do anything else. Because when you choose to do something that is not what you are, then what you are doing is using your agreement with Creation to say, “I want you to support me in a vibration that is not who I prefer to be.” And the only choice Creation has is to say, “Okay.”

Participant: So that would be safer to follow that in regards to more money?

Bashar: It’s not an issue of safety. And if you look at it that way, you are actually saying you want the universe to create you, in that sense, and continue you in that sense, and support you in that sense, in a reality in which your primary concern is one of safety.

Participant: Okay. I got what you mean. You follow me?

Participant: Yes, I do.

Bashar: All right. Thank you. If you understand—and we are going to be talking about this at an upcoming public event more thoroughly—if you understand how Creation is structured, and you understand how Creation always supports you, what we are telling you when we tell you to follow your joy is not an issue of faith. It’s an issue of absolute knowledge. It’s beyond belief, beyond faith, beyond hope. It’s knowing what your relationship to Creation is. It’s very different than believing, hoping, or having faith that it will support you. It’s understanding the structure to the degree where you know it can do nothing but support you. Because that’s how it’s designed. As I said, we will be speaking about this in depth and at length in an upcoming public session in November of your time.

Participant: All right. Yes. Does that help you?

Participant: Yes. Thank you.

Topic 20: Shadows and Barriers

Participant: Good day to you, Bashar. Andre, you good day?

Bashar: I have a question about some shadows of beings that I’ve been seeing. Shadows of beings that are downright annoying.

Bashar: Downright annoying? Oh, all right. In what way annoying?

Participant: Well, because I… it’s not making sense to me. It just… different times. Not when I’m engaged in anything special. Not when I’m in meditation. I’ll be driving. I’ll be doing dishes.

Bashar: Those are meditative states too, you know.

Participant: Not too much when I’m driving.

Bashar: I understand. Although many people can go on automatic when they drive.

Participant: Yes, they do. But I used to have an energy that I would see. I lived up in the mountains, and I would be driving up, and it’s pitch black without other than my headlights. Yes. And there was this energy that filled my car to the point that I would turn around to see who had their bright lights on behind me. Yes. And there was no one there.

Bashar: Why is this annoying?

Participant: No, that I liked.

Bashar: Oh, all right. That I… and I got used to it, and I kind of missed that. But these are like glimpses, and I don’t know what purpose they have for being there.

Bashar: As we have said before to another, the idea is that time and space are becoming more plastic, more malleable, less limiting. You are being able now, in this Age of Awakening, to extend your senses into domains and dimensions of frequencies of the spirit realm that heretofore were invisible to you. You are beginning to extend your senses and get glimpses of other consciousnesses in other dimensions. Sooner or later, it will become more consistent. But at first, it may seem a little bit sporadic. It’s like building the first radio on your planet and only being able to get scratchy reception. But eventually, as you improve the technology, so to speak, the voices will come in clearer and clearer and clearer, and last longer and longer and longer. That’s all that’s going on with your consciousness as you’re extending it into other dimensions, and you’re learning, in that sense, how to receive and how to maintain connection to those extended experiences. Because it’s part and parcel of the process of the expansion of your consciousness to contain and include more perception of more of reality. Does that make sense?

Participant: Not entirely.

Bashar: Oh, I see. All right. Why not?

Participant: Because I’m not feeling guided or any message or any…

Bashar: Well, it’s not specifically for that kind of experience. What I’m simply saying is: Well, you had a person on your planet that went by the name of Marshall McLuhan who had a catchphrase: “The medium is the message.” In other words, what’s happening is the message itself. There’s no additional message. The actual experience is telling you something. It’s telling you that your senses and your awareness and your consciousness are beginning to go beyond the limit of physical reality. The more you begin to enjoy this, the more you assign a positive vibration to this, the more you’ll get out of it eventually. But for a while, it may simply be that you’re getting used to the idea of perceiving in other realities. So for a while, you may simply get glimpses. It’s just how you get used to things in physical reality. It’s like having training wheels. Eventually, you’ll be able to ride the bike without them. But for now, you get little glimpses. That, in and of itself, tells you something about how your consciousness is changing.

Participant: But when I’m in what I consider a conscious, deep state of meditation, yes, I’m not feeling anybody else there. In fact, sometimes I feel very detached and not able to go as deep into meditation.

Bashar: Maybe that’s not the technique that actually works best for you. And maybe that’s another thing that you’re being shown: if you don’t, in that sense, make a special state out of it, but just get on with living your life and doing the things that you enjoy, that may be telling you that that’s actually the best state in which to actually contact other beings beyond your realm.

Participant: I feel, in my professional life, that I’m being guided, uh, sometimes pushed and nudged into something, but I don’t know where it is that I’m supposed to go.

Bashar: Does it matter as long as it’s exciting?

Participant: It doesn’t feel exciting.

Bashar: Then maybe you should do something that is.

Participant: I understand what you were saying. It’s like there’s a final barrier that I need to let go of, get through, underground, or whatever. Yes. And I’ve been working on that.

Bashar: Stop. The final barrier you need to get through is the idea that there’s a barrier. There isn’t. You just think there is. Your belief systems are allowing you to experience the idea that there’s a barrier you have to get through. Everything you have just said to us in this conversation implies that you think there is some kind of barrier you have to break through. What you’re being shown by these experiences is that the veil is thinner than you think. And if you just get on about your life doing what excites you, that would actually be the best way to see that, to experience that, instead of thinking you have to do something special to break through that so-called barrier, which doesn’t really exist except in your beliefs. Does that make sense?

Participant: Yes, it does.

Bashar: Does that help? Can you relax your definitions so that you yourself aren’t creating the barrier that you think is coming from outside you, but is actually coming from within?

Participant: Oh, I know it’s coming from within.

Bashar: Then let it go. Why do you need it? It may only be that you’re assuming there is one. There may be nothing else to it. It could be that tissue-paper thin.

Participant: I believe it is.

Bashar: Well, then stop believing there is one. Okay? There isn’t one. There is no barrier. There are no limitations other than the ones that serve you in a positive way. When you approach life that way, you won’t have to do anything special to get rid of it because it’s already gone. You can just get about doing what you wish to do in the way you wish to do it that’s most exciting. And in doing that, you will see other things in other realms, and you will know you are in contact. It may not always be the way your mind thinks it should be. So relax your expectations about how you think it’s supposed to happen. They know what they’re doing. Trust that. Okay? Because this is by agreement. And you may not remember what the agreement is, but they may have not forgotten. And all you have to do to remember is simply live your life in the fullest way you can. And when you need to remember, you will.

Participant: All right. Yes. Thank you.

Bashar: Now, one moment. One moment. One moment. When you go to sleep tonight, if you wish, simply relax. Don’t go into a meditation. Just relax. And just be willing to let go of any idea that you may be holding on to that there is such a thing as a barrier. Just be willing to let go of the idea that there’s a barrier, and then see what happens.

Participant: All right. All right. Thank you.

Bashar: You’re welcome. There will be a few moments remaining in the window that has been created for this transmission. Is there anything else anyone wishes to discuss in the brief amount of time remaining?

Topic 21: Pleiadian Energy and Laziness

Participant: Question. All right. Greetings, Bashar. And who you?

Bashar: Good day.

Participant: It’s good to feel you and be around you at this moment as well. I have one question regarding an experience that I had during not only a sleeping state but during a waking state. There were three beings that I feel very strongly connected to, and just recently acknowledged. All right. Three beings. Three beings that were clad with iridescent greenish, lapis blue color garments. Yes. Tall beings. Um, whom I couldn’t see whose faces I couldn’t see because they were so tall, and I have 16-foot ceilings in my bedroom, and they were there. And up to just a few weeks ago, I really haven’t had an inkling to ask as to where they came to visit me.

Bashar: Now, you understand that in terms of your physical reality, they are not actually that tall. But from the idea of coming from another higher vibrational plane, your physical mind will translate sometimes a higher vibration as something in physical reality that is bigger than you. You understand? They are not actually physically bigger than you. In fact, how tall are you?

Participant: 5'5".

Bashar: They’re about the same size. Okay. This is a connection to what you might call Pleiadian energy. Do you follow me?

Participant: Yes, I do.

Bashar: All right. What do you want to do with this?

Participant: I’ll enrich my understanding of life, my present experience right now. How to empower myself to help as many people as I can.

Bashar: In what way?

Participant: By sharing the love and light that I feel inside me.

Bashar: How? Through thoughts, words, and deeds of praise and affirmations of positive thoughts and evoking those thoughts into emotions so they can too get excited and move into their highest and best good.

Bashar: What about writing?

Participant: I’d love to do that.

Bashar: Why aren’t you?

Participant: Because I’m being lazy right now.

Bashar: I see. Thank you for your honesty.

Participant: Okay. Thank you for helping. Does it excite you?

Participant: Yes, it does.

Bashar: It’s… then where does laziness come from?

Participant: Everyday mundane responsibilities to my immediate family.

Bashar: “Mundane” is a definition. Okay. Well, delete that.

Participant: Okay. I just threw it out. Deleted.

Bashar: Okay. I remember: yes, there are no boring situations, just bored minds.

Participant: Thank you. Does that help?

Participant: Extremely.

Bashar: So then write.

Participant: You bet. Not because I’m telling you, because you’re telling you.

Bashar: Yes. Okay. You follow very well. Does this help?

Participant: Extremely. So and thank you.

Bashar: And I will start tonight.

Participant: And I will start tonight.

Bashar: Thank you. Or today. Right now.

Participant: Oh, all right. It’s up to you.

Topic 22: Sick Pet

Participant: Good day, Bashar. And are you?

Bashar: Good day.

Participant: I have a quick question about my… I have a kitty cat that’s sick. His name is Nicholas. A kitty cat. Yes. And um, I’m not sure. I haven’t been able to get him to another vet yet. And I was wondering if maybe you could tell me something, if what’s wrong with him or what I could do to help him.

Bashar: We don’t know what’s wrong with him. He’s not eating. One moment. Okay. You may find the information you seek from someone physically in the gathering with you today.

Participant: All right. Got it. Thank you.

Topic 23: December 21, 2012

Participant: Bashar, are you getting ready to go?

Bashar: You can feel the wind leaving the sails of the ship. Okay.

Participant: If I could, I’d like to ask one question for the group. Yes. Because sometimes we get things symbolically and we miss the forest for the trees. All right. There’s a lot being said in our world and in a lot of different ways about a specific date that’s coming: December 21st, 2012.

Bashar: Stop. It represents several things, and we will not go into all of them here. Generally speaking, what the date intuitively represents is the leading edge of the collective consciousness of your entire planet crossing a threshold. So that after that date, the idea of the amount of positive energy compared to the amount of negative energy has tipped the scales toward the positive side. Understand, it does not mean you will not see negative actions after that date. It doesn’t take as many people acting positively to outbalance the negative energy of millions. So there may still only be a few in number doing a positive energy thing, but that will have reached a critical mass threshold where those few positives will finally energetically outweigh the negatives to give the rest of the world an opportunity to choose the positive if they so desire.

Number two: For a long time, different extraterrestrial civilizations have had what you may call a “prime directive,” in your science fiction lingo, or “hands-off policy” on civilizations that are not ready for contact. 2012 represents the end of a quarantine. After that date, it doesn’t mean there will be ships landing everywhere. Don’t go out and say Bashar said that, because I did not. What it means is that after that date, ships could land everywhere. But now it’s squarely in your hands as to whether we do or not. No longer will the hands-off policy come in as a factor because the quarantine will end that year. So now it will be solely up to you all to determine at what rate you are ready for true, open contact. That is two of the things.
