Transformation Matters

Questioner: Please discuss the four laws of creation.

Bashar: From our perspective and our experience, there are only four absolute laws that underscore existence, underscore creation. Everything from our perspective, from our experience—everything in every dimension, in every reality, on every planet, no matter how different it may be (physical, non-physical doesn’t matter; past, present, future doesn’t matter)—is based on these four laws. We have not yet found a fifth.

These laws are not the laws of physics or things like that because those can vary from reality to reality.

These are things that are unchanging throughout creation, that everything is based on.

Law Number One: You Exist

You can’t do anything about that. Can’t change that. You can change how you exist, but you cannot change that you exist. If you exist now, I guarantee you, you always will. Existence only has one quality: to be. It will never become that which is not. Non-existence is already full of all the things that will never exist. There is no room in non-existence for things that exist. So if you exist, you always will. Can’t change that.

Law Number Two: The One is the All; The All Together Are the One

Everything is made out of the One. There is nothing outside of the One. Everything, every person, every place, every situation is an aspect, a reflection, an expression of the One. And the One has created everything out of itself, from itself, because there is nothing else. So in order to create all the different things in creation, the only material One had to do that was itself. So being is a facet of this multi-dimensional Oneness. The One is All; All are One. Law number two.

Law Number Three: What You Put Out Is What You Get Back

Plain and simple. Plain and simple. In physics, you say every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Like attracts like. You may phrase it in any number of ways, but it’s the same law. Law of Attraction.

Third Law of Existence. Doesn’t matter what you call it. What you put out is what you get back. Because physical reality doesn’t empirically exist except as a reflection. Physical reality is literally like a glass mirror. When you look in a glass mirror and see the reflection of your expression, if you are frowning, you don’t go up to the reflection and try to force the reflection to smile. That will never work because there’s really nothing there. It’s all coming back to you. If you really want to see the reflection smile, you know the only thing you can do is choose to smile first, then the reflection has no choice but to smile back.

But we understand that most of you have been taught just the opposite. And so when you want something to change in your reality, many of you on your planet will go about the business—the very, very tiring business—of trying to change the outer world instead of changing the inner one, which is what makes all the difference. So Third Law: What you put out is what you get back. There’s a caveat that goes with that, and we’ll get into that later.

Law Number Four: Change Is the Only Constant

Everything changes except the first three laws. They never change ever. But change… change always does. Ever. But change… change always does. Change changes even the fourth law. And the fourth law change becomes the first three laws that never change. So it’s a circle. Self-complete. Self-perpetuating. Self-supporting. Those are the four laws.

1. You exist.
2. The One is All; All are One.
3. What you put out is what you get back.
4. Everything changes but the first three laws.

Those four principles, laws, those four principles are what all of your experiences are based on. Everything else is up to you. You are free to choose what kind of experience to have in every other way. The only laws you really need to obey are the four we have just mentioned, because they cannot be broken. Cannot change regardless of where and when and how you may be. Those, as we understand them in our civilization, are the four laws. Did that answer your question sufficiently?

Conflict, Truth, and Perception

Questioner: The whole mirror idea…. We’re in a collective community here that we’re all committed to each other, occasionally things come up between people.

This is in our society general, where we might fall at discord with someone, or someone might do something that is hurtful or feels out of integrity with us, with our highest… um, excitement, highest good.

All of that conflict only comes from fear and lack of clarity in communication. That’s all. That’s all. So if you’re trying to resolve something with someone who… but you don’t… you have to only change yourself?

Bashar: Yes. You cannot change anyone else. You can offer them an opportunity to think differently, but you have to allow them to choose what they wish. Because if you don’t allow them unconditionally to choose what they wish, then how is anyone going to allow you to choose what you wish? True allowance is the key.

So if you’re in a situation with someone and you’re allowing them, and they continually keep hurting you or bringing back, you know, the same pattern, or you continually allow yourself to be hurt… great.

Because remember, it’s a matter of choice. Yes, we understand an individual may continue to perpetuate behavior that is generally negative, but you do not have to choose to feel the impact of their behavior. So if you are hurt by their behavior, you’re choosing to feel hurt.

And that’s then your issue that they have reflected to you: that you have something within your belief system that allows you to choose to be hurt by their behavior.

Because you see, if you understand that it’s an issue of choice, then at the same time you can observe someone might be purposely doing something negative toward you.

You can also simultaneously understand that you can observe that from a neutral position and simply not accept what it is they are offering you as true for you. It might be true for them, but it doesn’t have to be true for you. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

The idea on your planet that causes so much conflict and confusion are your definitions of things.

one of the strongest definitions that most of you have on your planet is: “What’s true? Is this true or is that true? If this is true, then that can’t be true.”

Oh, yes it can.

One of the things you will understand about truth is that all truths are true. All of them. How can that be? I’ll tell you. Thank you. All realities are real. You are not capable of imagining non-existence. Anything you can imagine actually exists in some way, shape, or form in some dimension of reality. Everything is real. Everything is true from a certain point of view. That’s all truth is. And that’s why it’s relative.

Because you see, there is only Here and Now. Past, present, future—that’s in a sense an illusion. The experience of it is real. That’s the difference. The experience of it is real, but not the thing itself. The thing itself is just a symbol, just a standing for an idea, the frequency of energy. And when you allow yourself to understand that all things coexist here and now, then you realize that every different thing or thing that appears different is actually in fact the same one thing from a different point of view. That’s all it is. So they’re all true. They’re all representative of the One, of All That Is, of creation, of God, whatever you wish to call it. Doesn’t matter. It doesn’t care what you call it because it is all those names. It is everything. It is All That Is. So any name you can conjure up for it is also a true name of God, because there is nothing outside of God. Nothing. Zero. Therefore, all truths are true.

And the thing that causes the conflict on your planet is this mentality of “It’s got to be this OR that,” instead of “this AND that.” “This and that” would go a long way toward allowing communication between you to become clearer and to allow resolution between you to become swift and effortless. If you recognize going into any conversation that no matter what a person chooses to believe, for them it is true. Just as true as your truth is. And if you can validate that and respect it, then it’s just a matter of discussing different points of view, neither of which is more true than the other.

Global Warming, Environment, and Creative Blocks

Questioner: I wanted to talk about global warming and whatnot, and about our environment and things that we can do to help or change. And there’s all these things like, we’re destroying our environment, yet nothing is created from elements and chemicals that weren’t already here. Yes. So if everything is already here, we’re just changing the form. How is that destroying?

Bashar: Because it’s how you change the form.

The idea is, of course, that things have consequences. This is not a judgment; it’s just physics. Things have consequences. Actions have consequences. Actions that are harmoniously aligned will have harmonious consequences. Actions that are in discord will have discordant consequences. It’s as simple as that. This isn’t a judgment call. You follow me? Yeah.

The idea, of course, is to also understand that what you are seeing on your planet is actually a natural cycle, albeit one that has been rapidly sped up by human interaction. You follow me? Mhm. These kinds of things happen on your planet and many other planets with cyclic regularity anyway. But the idea is for humanity now to face itself and recognize that it has allowed itself to experience itself as being out of phase, shall we say, with the harmonious natural cycles of the planet for quite a while. And now you are experiencing the consequences of being out of phase. You follow me?

So you can bring it back into phase if you wish. It depends upon your actions. It depends upon your behavior. It depends upon how much in alignment you are willing to be, and how much creativity you are willing to bring to bear on creating new ideas and new systems that are more harmoniously representative of the way you wish your world to be, the way you prefer your world to be. And implementing those new ideas and letting the old ones fade away. It’s not really about changing the old ones; it’s about inventing new ones that will take their place, that make them obsolete by definition.

It’s also about getting in touch with your relationship with the world, the collective consciousness, the Earth Spirit. All these aspects, all these ideas are all about your relationship. And of course, in being about your relationship to all those things, it’s also about your relationship to yourself first and foremost. You have to have a harmonious, cohesive relationship with yourself before you can really have a strong, harmonious, cohesive relationship with the rest of the world. You follow me? Yeah. Is this helping to illuminate the issue a little bit more?

Questioner: Definitely. Is there some particular direction you wish to take this in? I have a second question. Yes. So being an artist, um, as most of us here in this room are… as I don’t know, I guess a lot of people are… um, my question is… we come to blocks in our life. And I was wondering if there… you do… um… you come to blocks?

Bashar: Yeah. What kind of blocks?

Questioner: Playing blocks. Blocks that stop me from participating by def…

Bashar: Yes, a block will stop you. But you see, that’s a definition, correct? Can you in your imagination think of something else to label it, to define it as, so that it does not have that well… fear? All right. Fear doesn’t have to stop you either. But what I’m saying is, you can allow yourself to understand that one of the reasons you experience these moments as blocks is because you’re defining them as blocks.

What about defining them as unexpected challenges? What about defining them as early Christmas presents? What about defining them as presents? What about defining them as heretofore undiscovered portions of my own consciousness?

You see, I am not just attempting to tell you to mince words. I am not attempting to tell you to gloss over things. What I am telling you is to really get in touch with the fact that your deepest definition of things is truly what allows you to experience them in the way that you do. And that’s the only thing that allows you to experience them in the way that you do. What you believe is true is true. What you define is true is true. You follow me? Yes.

So when you call something a block, you’re going to experience it as what? A block. Correct. If you say, “I choose in this moment with this experience to recognize that this is an opportunity to turn in an unexpected direction and see what it has to teach me,” you will experience it as a journey of discovery and not as a block. You follow me? Yeah. Because you’re defining it as something different. What has changed? Your relationship to it has changed. Therefore, the effect you get out of it will change.

Now I’m going to tell you a very, very big… a very, very big secret. Not a secret at all, but you know, most people on your planet would think of this as a secret. I know this is going to sound a little bit funny, but bear with us. All right. The greatest gift that creation has given to all beings is that life is meaningless.

Questioner: What does that mean?

Bashar: I’ll tell you. Thank you. What that means is that nothing has built-in meaning. All situations, all circumstances have no automatic built-in meaning. They don’t mean anything. They’re neutral props. The gift given to you by creation is that you have the power to decide what every [thing] means. You are created to give it meaning.

Now here’s the key: The meaning you give determines the effect you get. Remember Law Number Three: What you put out is what you get back. So when you automatically and unconsciously define something as having a negative meaning, guess what kind of effect it’s going to have in your life? When you automatically decide to assign something a positive meaning, that’s the effect you’re going to get.

Now, if you say, “But I have been giving something a positive meaning, I’m still only getting a negative effect,” then you have to understand that must mean, by definition, that somewhere deep inside you, you are still assigning a negative meaning. You cannot get an effect that is not concurrent with the vibration you are giving off. You can’t. It’s not possible in physics. So if you are still getting what you define as a negative reaction, then you are putting something out—even if only a definition—that says it’s negative. In order to get a negative effect, don’t define it as negative, no matter how it looks.

Remember, if nothing has built-in meaning, then every single situation has the ability to serve double duty. It doesn’t have to change the way it looks to go from having a negative effect to a positive effect in your life. It can look exactly the same. It doesn’t have to look different. And in fact, that’s the first level of, shall we say, testing yourself to find out whether you really have changed: is that when you are acting differently, when you are giving things a different meaning, if they still look the same, and you then react negatively to the fact that it still looks the same because you were expecting it to look different, then the fact that you are reacting negatively to that means you haven’t changed. And that’s why it looks the same.

The point is that you will always first—because you live in a world of space and time—always first, you will get an echo of the old reality. The echo of the old reality, the way things used to look, the way the situation used to appear, will usually happen first in order to actually see if you’re going to respond differently to it, which will then tell you you really actually have changed. And then physical reality can reflect the real change you have actually created.

But if you have the expectation that things are supposed to look different because you think you have changed, but then you react the same way you always have when they don’t look any different, then that tells you you haven’t changed. So the key is not out there. The key is not in the mirror. The key is not trying to make the reflection smile instead of frown. The key is you deciding that you’re going to smile just because that’s what you prefer, and you don’t need another reason. Ow. That’s the key. That’s the key.

You need to all stop having so many reasons to be happy and just be happy. Or not. Exactly. Your choice. Because it’s up to you. Not up to us. It’s up to you. It’s your choice. We allow you to be free enough to choose misery if you wish. And we know that if you choose to be miserable, you have, I’m sure, a very good reason for being so. And that’s your reason. And it is just as valid and just as beautiful and just as sacred as any other reason you could create. Everything is sacred. Everything is valid. Everything. Everything. The dark and the light.

Because remember, All That Is is All That Is. Dark and the light. But when it’s in balance, when all choices, positive and negative, are equal, then you can simply choose what you prefer without invalidating what you don’t prefer. It’s the invalidation, the judgment of what you don’t prefer, that gives it power to manifest. But if it’s all the same to you, if it’s all equally valid and it doesn’t really matter, then you can simply say, “I recognize that choosing that is equally valid to any other choice I could make. I allow it to be just as beautiful. I allow it to be just as sacred because it is a part of God. Now, this is what I prefer.” That’s it. Simple as that. Does this help?

Vortex Experience, 2012, and Shifting Realities

Questioner: I have um several questions that I think will linearly… because that’s how we think. Linearly. Because that’s how we think here. Um, start to not so much anymore, but yes, we understand it’s accelerating. Um, so I think it’ll come to the point. So oh, all right. Everyone just bears with me for a second. They can use whatever animal they wish. Since I came to this planet… yes. Since I was very young, I had many questions. Yes. First things that came up were complex ideas about existence, where we came from, yes. What was before? What was after?

Bashar: Nothing.

Questioner: Nothing? At some point, uh, my consciousness just accepted that it… there wasn’t a before and after, that it was all one. Yes. Um, even though my brain still has a hard time. I know. But that’s all right. That’s okay.

Bashar: The brain and the physical personal mind is only designed to function in 3D, quasi-4D linear reality. That’s all right. There are other aspects of your consciousness that function on higher levels, and whatever aspects of that understanding need to filter into your physical mind, we’ll do so. Got it. Which that’ll kind of come as a side note in a minute. Because right… side note.

Questioner: So um, I’ve seen things throughout my life that I can’t explain. Oh.

Bashar: Congratulations. How exciting.

Questioner: They I feel that they’ve altered my consciousness.

Bashar: Yes. Well, or you have altered your consciousness and thus were able to see things you can’t explain. Exactly. Um, I have a specific question about one. I wonder if you might be able to help me with.

Bashar: Well, we’ll see.

Questioner: When I was about 20 years old, I was undergoing a massive transformation in my life. Yes. And I was in Monument Valley, Arizona. All right. And uh, I fell asleep in the campground. Yes. And um, in the middle of the night, or somewhere around 2 or 3 morning—I’m not exactly sure—I awoke to see a vast amount of light pouring from the center of the valley outwards. I thought it was the moon rising behind me, except I felt kind of an altered state happening around me. People were asleep. There was nothing moving. There was an unnatural stillness. Oh, right. And there was a voice in my head, separate than mine, that said, “We’ll allow you to see.” Yes. And uh, said, “See what?” And they said, “Turn around.” Yes. So I turned around. And what I saw in between the two main towers in the monument—if you’re familiar with that land mass—we understand, yes—um, there was a… a… a portal. A sort of vortex. It looked like a galaxy or several galaxies. Come, most of them do because they spin. Yes. It spun. The whole thing was rotating. Exactly. Um, and light was moving. And my rational mind looked at light and how it was throwing to all the different towers, and it was coming from the center. Was nothing that humans could produce—the amount of light, the vastness of it.

Bashar: Well, part of it actually is energy from the collective consciousness of humanity. But I understand what you mean when you say typically humans don’t produce that with their technology. Technology-based. Um, what was that?

Questioner: And I just told you.

Bashar: And you just told me. Is a vortex. You understand already that there are natural connection points, natural doorways on your planet to other dimensions, other levels. Right. When you alter your frequency in a certain way, you become more capable of perceiving that which may have been invisible heretofore. As you go through these transitions on your planet now, you are all becoming more sensitive to other levels of energy that were heretofore invisible, and they are becoming visible. So this is simply your ability to perceive a natural phenomenology that exists as a connecting point between your planet and other dimensions, other worlds, other realities.

Questioner: My instinct was to get up and walk towards it. Yes. But the voice that heard me said, “No. That’s enough. Yes. You’re not ready yet.” And I immediately fell back asleep. The next day was morning. Yes. Well.

Bashar: Congratulations. That relates to something that’s happening now. Oh, all right.

Questioner: Uh, throughout my life I’ve had dreams, guys, of a movement. And I’ve seen the Earth change. Yes. Um, I started learning about it from my aunt and different things, and then uh, my ancestry where I come from, the Hopi, yes, have prophecies. Yes. The land shifting, time changing. Yes. Um, I had a very specific dream uh just before I came to Los Angeles. Yes. And most of you don’t know this, but y’all were in it. I dreamt about each one of you before I saw you. And that’s why every time I see you guys perform, sometimes I can’t speak and sometimes I cry, cuz you are… you were all in this dream. And the Hopi and the, as I call it, the children of the fifth son, where we’re moving towards this… yes, yes. Next world. Yes. And the 2012 phenomenon and the colliding point. Although of course there are a few different kinds of interpretations and many different ideas that are connected to those notions other than just the popular ones, shall we say. Would you like to expand on that?

Bashar: Well, there are a few different things we can share. One thing we have already told many of you is that the threshold that you call 2012 is simply the leading edge of the collective consciousness crossing critical mass threshold. The idea being that on the other side of that particular moment in time, there will be more positive momentum on the planet than negative. You follow me? What you do with that is still up to you, but it will be available to you. Because the collective consciousness on your planet, like the leading edge of a wave, will be such that you can dip into that more easily, more effortlessly.

We have also mentioned that for a long time, many thousands of your years, with respect to your relationship to extraterrestrial societies such as our own, your planet has been in a type of, shall we say, hands-off quarantine, where we cannot, are not allowed to interfere in any way, shape, or form with your development. After 2012, the quarantine is up. Now, that doesn’t mean we’re all going to land our ships the next day. What it does mean, however, is that we could, depending upon what you do on your planet. We will no longer be held back by the quarantine. We will only be taking our cue from that point forward from the actions you all take and the kind of reality you all choose to create. You follow me? So that’s a couple of other things that go along with that kind of timing.

And so the way in which you experience this transition again is really up to you. Please remember there are an infinite number of parallel realities all going on simultaneously. It’s not, in a sense, that you actually change the world you are in. It’s that you change your frequency to be like that of the world you prefer to experience, and then experience that parallel Earth that already exists on that level. It may look as if everything around you has changed, but in fact it’s you that have changed, and in a sense have shifted yourself to a world in which there already exist the versions of the other people that are germane to that world, that are on the same frequency of that world. Those that are not on that frequency will no longer appear in your reality. They will simply vanish from your life one way or another as time goes on. Even though right now you are still in a collective agreement that allows you to experience many people who have belief systems that are very different from your own, maybe even very incompatible with the frequency that you prefer. In time, this will no longer be possible. The idea will be that those people will simply phase out of your reality. They will remain in the reality in which their frequency is appropriate, and you will have vanished from their reality. “I wonder what ever happened to so-and-so.” They’re on another Earth having their own experience based on the frequency they most believed would occur.

So when you go through these transitions, when you look at the idea of change on your planet, remember many of the things that are prophesied are statements that were made at the time of the energy that existed at the time the prophecy was made. Because there really is no such thing as a prediction of the future. A prediction is a sensing of the energy that exists at the time the prediction is made. If that changes, the prediction is obsolete. If it doesn’t, it comes true, as you say. But it’s up to you. Many times hearing the prediction is what causes it to change, because now you can do something about it. The person making the prediction is saying, “Look, this is where our energy is. Do we want it to stay here, or do we want to change it? Do we want to experience the transition this way or this way? Up to you.” Let’s get it all out on the table. This is what we perceive now. You decide how you want to experience this transformation. What kind of relationship do you want to have with each other and with your world and with the spirits and with All That Is? How do you want to experience this reality? Who do you want to be? And that’s what determines what you will experience. And you can even, for a time, be standing right next to someone who chooses to experience the transformation in a very destructive, scary, fearful way, and you can be standing right next to them and not experience anything that they’re experiencing at all. At all. You follow me?

Questioner: Yes. Does this help illuminate some of what you are discussing?

Bashar: Yes, it does. This take it where you want it to go, or is there somewhere else you wish to explore with this idea?

Questioner: It’s the next step. Back. Um, I’m wondering if you know anything about… I had an experience last week where uh, I started shifting. Yes. Dimensional time. St…

Bashar: Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Space and time. As you transition, as you raise your frequencies, become a lot more slippery, a lot more plastic, a lot more fluid, a lot more flexible, a lot more malleable, a lot more inconsequential. You’ll find yourself slipping around in space and time quite a bit more often as the years progress. Because space and time are your own created illusions. And when you live more in the Now, in the single Now moment, you don’t need to create as much time. You don’t need to create as much space for all the little details to take place in, because you’re not creating so many details. You’re functioning more holistically. So you will not need as much time. You will not need as much space. And they will become slippery, and you’ll find yourself winding up getting places you can’t imagine how the heck you got there in the amount of time you had. But you did anyway. Yeah. You follow me?

Questioner: Yes. Exactly. Yes.

Bashar: Uh, this is a natural symptom of the transformation your planet is going through. Believe me, we’ve seen it on dozens of other planets.

Questioner: So a being showed up to me, as myself, started communicating to me. And I had to do some things. Yes. One of which relates to my shifting my consciousness earlier. When I heard a John Lennon song called “Imagine.” All right. And I… what I found is that as we really go through imagining what the world is like without borders and religion, and that we have a very small ability to actually imagine what that’s like. Yes. And I think… and what I said to myself was to start collectively putting together work that expresses what that world is like. Where we are very… because the more opportunities you can provide for people to actually experience that reality, the easier it will be for people to allow themselves to really manifest that together. Together.

Bashar: Yes. The more you are willing to create experiences for people to be able to experience what that reality is like, the easier it will be for them to make the connection they need to make to manifest that reality collectively. It’s the experience that is key. Not just imagining it, but creating it in a manner that allows people to actually experience that reality as best as you can is what will allow people to really be able to generate the vibrational frequency necessary to manifest that reality experientially. Thank you. You’re welcome.

Questioner: So this book that I’m comprising with a few people, and this film, uh, which is the first level of experience we have in this time-space… we really enjoy media as an experience. We know. So we’re collectively putting together to push that forward. Then have fun. Do you know anything about that? Like about this book and about this film?

Bashar: And how it… we don’t have to specifically… to understand the idea in the following way. We wish to be clear about something, and we wish you to be clear about something too. Very important. It’s up to you. But very important. Many people are under the illusion that they have to do something special in order to have impact on everyone else in the world. You don’t. Each and every single being on your planet already has 100% of the impact you will ever have just by existing. The things that you are talking about doing, the things that are expressions of your joy, expressions of your passion, the artistic creative endeavors, do not create more impact. They reveal more of the impact you already have. You see the difference? Yes.

So please do not go about trying to create impact on your planet. Allow yourself to simply follow your passion in order that the things you do will reveal more of the impact you already have just by the fact of your existence. Does that make sense?

Questioner: Yes. Does that help?

Bashar: Yes. Helps you relax a little bit. Yeah. Not so tense. Remember, you can’t change anyone who doesn’t want to be changed. So it’s all about just being who you wish to be. Because that’s who you wish to be. Because that’s who you wish to be. Because that’s who you wish to be. Period. Because that’s who you are. And that’s it. That’s the only reason you need to follow your joy. Because that’s who you are. That’s what joy is. That’s what passion is. That’s what excitement is. That’s what it tells you: “This is who you are.” Passion, joy, the things that excite you, do so because they are reflecting to you the vibrational frequency that is your true natural core self. That’s what that feeling is. Recognition. “That’s me.”

That’s why the things that contain the highest excitement at any given moment are the things that you need to act on most boldly. Because that’s who you are at that moment. It’s like a compass needle always pointing to Magnetic North. When things excite you more than anything else, no matter what they are, at any given moment, do your best to act on the thing that excites you the most at any given moment. Because that’s the thread to follow. That’s when you know your compass needle is pointing true to you. Make sense?

Questioner: Yes.

Bashar: It’s just physics. That’s all it is. Simple physics. Does this help you?

Questioner: Absolutely. Um, now I’d like to finish up with that side note. The side note. Let’s bring it back in. So um, do you could you share with us any specific exercises to help us?

Bashar: No. Okay. And I’ll tell you why. Okay. Yes. Obviously we could, and we have done so many times, and we have already provided many different kinds of exercises and tools and so forth, meditations and what have you. And you can avail yourself of them if you wish. They are all recorded. You follow me? Mhm. And any one of them may help you. But here’s the key: Whatever your imagination says is the thing that will help you, is the thing that will help you. Each of you. All tools. We spoke of this recently. All tools, all meditations, all rituals, all exercises, doesn’t matter what they are. All tools are nothing more than permission slips that you give to yourself to allow yourself to let it be okay to do what it is that you do, to be who it is that you are.

The tool does nothing except the one that you’re most attracted to. You are most attracted to because it is in a configuration that is most like the frequency that right then, at that moment, will work best for you. It’s keyed to your vibration at that moment. That’s why you’re attracted to it. To tomorrow it may be something else. But the point is, one isn’t more right. One isn’t better or worse. At any given moment, whatever tool, whatever meditation, whatever ritual, whatever practice you are most attracted to, that seems most interesting, is the one to use at that moment. Because it’s simply telling you that the reason you’re attracted to it is because it’s geared to your frequency, symbolically reflective of your frequency, and therefore it is the permission slip that, according to whatever belief system is going on within your psyche, will allow you to let go of enough beliefs to allow you to be who you really prefer to be at that moment. It’s just a permission slip. That’s all these tools are.

Eventually you don’t need them, because eventually you don’t need them because you constantly give yourself permission to be you. Make sense? But as long as you find them enjoyable, use them. But that’s all they are. Just permission slips. That’s all they are. Does that help you?

Questioner: Yes. Thank you. Are you sure?

Bashar: Absolutely. Oh. Thank you.

Suffering, Choice, and Destiny

Questioner: Thank you, B. You are welcome. Hello, Bashar. And you? Good night. Um, I have so much gratitude for the information that I’ve uh read and seen from you in the past. Thank you.

Bashar: We are also extremely grateful to be allowed the opportunity to interact with each and every one of you so that we can experience that many more facets of All That Is. Thank you for being uniquely you.

Questioner: Well, you’re welcome. So I have um three questions that I hope will be direct, and they’re all geared um towards things that I am having a hard time understanding. Oh. Right. Perhaps simplify one question in different styles of clothing. Maybe. Um, the first question uh is I have a hard time understanding the concept of choosing your own reality in the sense of like, um, yes, we know that’s unfortunate… unfortunates in children specifically in uh foreign countries. I understand. And um, really intense situations. Do you wish us to address that before we go on?

Questioner: Yeah. All right. Thank you.

Bashar: We recognize and acknowledge your compassion. And that’s the issue at hand. Compassion. I want to illustrate an example for you, if I may. May I?

Questioner: Yes. Yes. All. Thank you.

Bashar: Can you imagine a being so compassionate, so unconditionally loving, that it will choose to live a life of suffering because it knows if it does so, it will trigger in you the same compassion to make sure it will never happen again? Can you imagine that?

Questioner: Yeah.

Bashar: That’s partly your answer. Okay. Because understand, of course, you have to look at it on a case-by-case basis, because there are as many reasons why people are experiencing those kinds of lives as there are people experiencing them. But do remember, you are all… of you are an eternal spirit. You follow me? Yeah. You are an eternal, indestructible spirit. The physical experience—and I’m not justifying it in that sense—is only a part of the total experience of the spirit. If the spirit knows that an act of unconditional love in going into a life where it may experience a certain kind of suffering for a while will actually open the eyes and awaken others to how they can go about changing their world to be something more positive, many spirits will actually choose to do that out of love. You follow me? They may not remember that they did it when they are physical. It may make no sense to them when they are physical, or to anyone else. But there is a reason. There is always a reason.

Now, yes. Sometimes, because of the nature again of the belief systems that exist on your planet, many people for thousands of years on your planet have not known that they can actually make a conscious choice to experience the kind of life that they prefer. When a being on your planet dies not knowing it can make a conscious choice, it will sometimes, especially in what you call the past, sometimes simply pick up right away in another life that, in your terms, will be reflective of unresolved issues from the past one. You follow me? I’m speaking linearly here for a moment. Yeah. So sometimes the experiences of people, even children obviously having lives that you see in that manner as having described as suffering, may be the result of not knowing consciously that they could have chosen something else.

When the word is used “choice,” it doesn’t always mean it’s a conscious choice. You follow me? Definitely. All right. I make unconscious choices all the time.

Bashar: Yes, of course. The key, especially in the present life, is to learn to make these choices consciously, intentionally, and to know that you have the power, that you have the option. That’s the key. Then you can transform all these things. But right now, Earth being what it is, the consequences and product of thousands of years of fear, there are still a lot of people on your planet that are caught up in fear. Still a lot of people that are perpetrating many negative things against other people. Spirits know that that’s the territory they’re entering. They understand it may be rough, but they also understand what the consequences may be of their willingness to go through that experience because of the number of people they may actually help by doing so. Do you follow this?

Questioner: Yes.

Bashar: It’s not a justification for the negative act. But these things are all done in some way, shape, or form by agreement, by orchestration, even if it is an unintentional or even if it is an unconscious one. There are still the consequences of energies. And even though you could say, “Well, I didn’t intentionally make that choice,” if you choose to perpetuate certain negative belief systems within yourself—but I’m not talking about you specifically—that will always have a particular consequence according to the third law. So even if a person doesn’t necessarily in their mind want something bad to happen to them, but are always afraid it might, then they are choosing something bad to happen to them. That’s the same thing. Being afraid that something might happen is the same thing as saying you are choosing it. Because what you’re saying is that of all your belief systems, out of all of them, that’s the one you believe might be most likely going to happen. That’s the one you’re giving the power to. Therefore, that’s the consequences you get. And thus it can be said it was a choice, even if you’re not in touch with exactly how that might have occurred mechanistically speaking.

But the issue is to become more aware of how that happens so that you can choose with eyes open. So that generation after generation things can get, as you say, more peaceful, more nurturing, more loving, more creative, more supportive. That’s what this transformational age on your planet is all about. That’s why you’re also seeing an increase in all the negativity. Because you’re getting everything up out of your system. All the things you’ve been holding on to for thousands of years, all the fears, all the negative acts, they’re putting them all up out on the table, saying, “Look, look, look, look at what we have made our world to be. Look at what we have made ourselves to be. Is this what we want? Is this who we want to be?” If the answer is no, then help. Do something that is a positive reflection. Be of assistance to those people. Relieve the suffering where you can. And let others know that those that perpetrate the suffering are themselves suffering. That’s why they do it.

Please remember, it takes a victim to make a victim. You understand? You must do things that break the chain of victimization, beginning with the perpetrator. Because the only reason they do what they do is because they have been taught to believe they are unworthy, they are disconnected, they are powerless. And in living in the terror of the experience of being disconnected from your power, believe me, they will still want to reach out to whoever they can. But being that they are perpetuating a negative spiral, they will simply reach out in a negative way because it’s the only way they’ve been taught to express themselves. But when they are taught to believe that they are powerful, that they are an aspect of God, that they can live the life of joy that they prefer to live, there will be no need to force themselves on anyone else. There will be no need to control. There will be no need. You follow me?

Questioner: Yeah. Is all of this helping to address that issue?

Bashar: Yes. Yes. Would you like to move to the secondary?

Questioner: Sure. Um, the second question is um a little vague, but I’d like to know a little bit more of the concept of consequence versus the concept of choosing your own reality. Um, for example, global warming. If we all truly believed that we had endless resources and could do endless uh uh yes things that we wanted, would it make a difference?

Bashar: Yes. Because you would shift yourselves to a reality where it already has. So you can change consequences and cause and effect by your thoughts. It’s, in a sense, not just the thoughts. Your actions are key. Because you must, in a sense, allow yourself to recognize that because you have chosen to be physical, you must ground the thought through actual action. Otherwise, you’re actually not committed to the thought. And if you’re not committed, why should the universe pay attention? You follow? Yeah.

So but the idea is that if you shift yourself strongly enough, or truly committed to it, and all your thoughts, words, and deeds express it, then you will see the consequences of that. Now again, remember it will be part and parcel to the agreements that you have made also with others on your planet as to how slowly or quickly you see those consequences. Because you’re not going to want to leave anyone behind. You’re going to want to do it in a way that allows everyone to play along with you, at least those that really want to. You follow me? So you’ll make an arrangement to see things and experience things in a better way for yourself. And as you do that, you will act as a living, breathing example to others so they can see by your actions and the consequences of your actions how they could also choose to live their lives as well and have the same kind of positive experiences and shift themselves to another world with you, wherein the consequences of your actions are representative, equally representative, of the kind of actions and the kind of beliefs that you are acting upon. Make sense?

Questioner: Yes. Yes. No. Maybe. Yes. Yes. And no. No. In the sense, um, by trying to solve a problem, are we more acknowledging the problem that it exist?

Bashar: It depends on how you approach it. If you don’t approach it with fear, you’re not exacerbating it. If you approach it with the idea of recognizing that it’s an opportunity to look at things differently, to see what it reveals about yourself, to own it, accept it, acknowledge it, then you can approach it with a positive and constructive attitude that will act in a transformative manner. You follow me?

Questioner: Yes. Does that answer the question and turn the no into a yes?

Bashar: Yes. Thank you. And the third part?

Questioner: And the third question, um, it’s kind of hard to describe, but I try and say it in an analogy. All right. Thank you. We often use analogies. Yes. Good. Okay. Um, I I’m thinking of a soccer game. And um, one player on one team is heading towards the goalie on the other team. And he he goes to make a shot. Um, he he makes the goal. The goalie believes he doesn’t make the goal. And the spectator believes one side or the other depending on which team is his. Are there three separate realities going on at once?

Bashar: Yes.

Questioner: Is it… does it have anything to do with an agreement?

Bashar: Yes. Both. Yes. Okay. And all of it. There will be and is a reality where the goal is made. There will be a reality where the goal is blocked. There’ll be a reality where one side wins. There’ll be a reality where another side wins. There’ll be a reality where no one wins. There’ll be a reality where that spectator will see one thing. There’ll be a reality where that spectator doesn’t exist. Anything you can imagine is concurrently and simultaneously a true, real reality. Whatever you experience is by agreement in your reality.

Questioner: So am I able to experience two things at one time?

Bashar: More and more in your new age. Yes. But you must understand, it’s not exactly two things at one time. It’s a reality containing the definition of the experience of seeing two things at one time. It’s not actually two realities. I see. It’s one reality with the definition that you can experience two realities. But that’s one reality. Does that make sense to you in your language?

Questioner: Absolutely. Yes. Does this address the question?

Bashar: Yes. Thank you. Thank you.

Opinions, Excitement, and Purpose

Questioner: Okay. I just want to ask you on that same thread. Yes. So I’ve discovered in the last several years that I’m able to see all angles of things. And so it makes it really challenging for me to have an opinion because I see everything as valid. And it’s created pain inside of me cuz I…

Bashar: Oh. One moment. One moment. One moment. Repeat after me. Are you ready?

Questioner: Yes.

Bashar: All right. Repeat after me: “My opinion is that everything is valid.”

Questioner: My opinion is that everything is valid.

Bashar: There. You have a nice strong opinion. So how do we make a choice? How do we make a choice? Or how do we… how do we… at any given moment, you look at all the things available to you that are available to you to act on. Choose the one that contains the highest amount of excitement that you are capable of taking the greatest amount of action on in that moment. If at that moment two things seem equally exciting as options, choose the one that you have the greatest degree of ability to take action on at that moment. That’s it. That’s how you choose. Always choose the thing that excites you the most. Secondarily, always choose the thing that excites you the most [that] you have the greatest actual physical degree of ability to take action on. Take it as far as you can. When you can take it no further, stop. Look at all the things that are available to you. Choose the one that’s most exciting that you have the greatest degree of ability to take action on in the next moment. Do the same. In the next moment, do the same. In the next moment, do the same.

You will rarely, rarely find two things of equal excitement, or rarely find things of equal excitement that have the same degree of ability to be acted on. Or if you do, it doesn’t matter which one you choose. And if you go with one and it’s not the one that serves you best, if you go in with the attitude that you will always make the best choice for you, then having chosen that one will always lead you back around to the other choice. This is what you need to understand. Following your excitement is not only the driving engine of your reality, it’s also the automatic organizing principle. You don’t need to know the how. Of the details. You just need to act on your excitement.

Physical mind is not designed to understand how things happen. Physical mind is only designed to perceive how things happened. Not how things are going to happen. Higher Self does that for you. All you need to do is act on the opportunities that contain the highest degree of excitement that you have the highest degree of capability of acting on. Higher Self tells you that if you do that, everything you need will be there. The how will be there. You don’t have to think about it, because you’re not designed to think about it. When you try to, because you’ve been taught to think that your physical mind has to be in control of everything and has to know how everything’s going to happen and every down little detail, that’s when you get stuck. That’s when you face your conundrum, your conflict, and you freeze. “What do I do? How do I decide?” But you don’t really have to know anything more than following your excitement and acting on it to the best of your ability, and let the how of it be left up to your Higher Self. Then you function as a whole person, and the physical mind is not doing a job it wasn’t designed to do and taking all the extra baggage and tiring itself out. It wasn’t designed to carry that weight.
