Reason: “If making it officially a law will help people remind themselves of this fact, then that sounds like a useful thing to do.”
Asker
You have talked about how our purpose is to pursue our highest excitement. You’ve said it today as well. In my case, I’ve recently discovered that what makes me most excited would be to build or create something, perhaps a technology or a startup company that would challenge and potentially change the existing power structure that serves to benefit a few number of people and causes detriment to many people.
Bashar
Now challenge them. Perhaps you will. You will never change them. Because the idea is that you never change the world you’re in. You change yourself, and you shift to another parallel Earth that’s already more representative of the change you’ve made within yourself. The old Earth still exists with all the unchanged people on it. It’s just now that you’ve shifted to another parallel Earth where different versions of people exist that are more amenable to the vibration that you prefer.
Asker
That was exactly why I was confused. So it seems to mean that trying to change the world is not a good use of…
Bashar
No, changing yourself is all you need to do. Because then your actions will be a sample, an example for others, and you will shift yourself to a reality where others are more in alignment with you, bit by bit, at whatever pace is comfortable for you. But everyone and every world will still pick up upon the possibility that they can do that too.
Asker
So this idea of shifting to a different reality—are there limits to this? For example, someone who is incarcerated in prison, can they shift themselves into a reality in which they are free?
Bashar
Yes, of course. But that means they have to have a deep understanding of what they chose in the first place that created the reality they’re in, so they can understand exactly how it is they need to change themselves in order to shift to a completely different experience. And again, remember that it may not always serve them to shift if they believe they are exploring something that benefits them by being incarcerated. Just being incarcerated as an idea in and of itself is not necessarily automatically a negative thing. It may actually serve many positive purposes based on the theme they are exploring. So you can’t necessarily just assume that it’s a given that they should do so. But yes, they could. Okay. Remember, it’s not about whether something is possible. Anything is possible. The question is, is it probable, or is it relevant to the theme you are exploring? Because many things are not relevant to the theme you are exploring in this life, even though they might be quote-unquote possible. It is highly unlikely you may do certain things if they’re not relevant. Does that help?
Asker
That’s something to digest. I’m also curious about something somewhat unrelated. Is it in human nature—things like greed, the desire for power, the desire to dominate others?
Bashar
No. It is in human learning, not human nature. And I would put war in that same question. It is not really in your human nature in the way that you are asking the question. Okay. Yes, of course, there are the abilities to choose those kinds of things in the physical reality that you are experiencing. In that sense, you could say certainly it is within the nature of the structure of existence. But in the sense that you are actually a spirit being, it is not in that nature. And in expressing yourself as a human, while you may take on the probabilities or possibilities that such expressions can exist—and in that sense you could say, well, all right, it’s part of the human potential structure—it isn’t in your nature automatically to go in that direction. It’s still a choice based on learning.
Asker
So have I chosen a reality in which war exists and all these things?
Bashar
Yes, of course. Because you are looking to transform. And therefore, in order to transform into light, you have to start with the dark. Otherwise there’s nothing to transform from or to. That’s the nature of physical reality, is to experience the concept of the transformation of polarity in that way. Yes. Because that’s a power, that power of transformation, that power of transcendence, is an experience, a valid experience. And unless you start in the dark, you can’t switch on a light. Unless you have used the power to forget, you can’t remember who you really are. Does that help?
Asker
It does. I also have another question, but I don’t want to take too much of your time.
Bashar
Out of curiosity, what is it?
Creation of Humanity & Hybrid Races
Asker
I’m wondering about: who created human beings, how, and why? Does it fit into our conventional knowledge of human evolution from primates?
Bashar
There was a naturally evolved hominid that grew naturally on your planet up to a certain point. Then certain branches of that hominid species had their genetics altered by an extraterrestrial society that led to the development of what you now understand yourselves to be as human beings. However, not all branches of the original evolved hominid were changed. The ones that kept developing, naturally evolving naturally on your planet, ultimately became the beings you now know as Sasquatch. So if your genetic material had not been altered by an extraterrestrial civilization, you would all be Sasquatch. Naturally.
Asker
And is that extraterrestrial civilization the Anunnaki?
Bashar
Yes.
Asker
And why did they do this?
Bashar
It was an experiment for a variety of reasons. But it also, on a higher level, has to do with the idea of the evolution of consciousness in creation. And it’s still going on. You are still in a sense altering yourselves, and with the aid and assistance of others also being altered. You are slowly but surely becoming what we call the sixth hybrid race.
Asker
Sixth hybrid race?
Bashar
Yes. We are one of the hybrid races. There are four others. You are becoming the sixth. And once you have fully developed into the sixth hybrid race in approximately 1,000 of your years, all together we will start the journey toward becoming the seventh hybrid race, which will be unlike anything that has ever existed.

Reason: “I think it’s very empowering for people to be in the present and to take responsibility for their Consciousness in the present.”
Asker
My first question is: lately, when I get into a very high inspired state, I have a lot of ideas, inspirations about certain things, and I kind of get carried away into their world, into that parallel reality or whatever. But then what happens is, let’s say I have an idea about traveling, and then I look at my bank account and bam, I’m back in this reality.
Bashar
Why are you making an association between those two things?
Asker
Because I start to take out my credit card to pay for the trip and I realize I don’t have enough.
Bashar
Why do you make an association between those two things? Why do you think it’s necessary to have money to take a trip?
Asker
Because the trip I wanted costs money.
Bashar
How do you know? Have you never heard us tell the story of the photographer?
Asker
Maybe I did, but maybe I need to hear it again.
Bashar
Briefly: a photographer had the great dream, the excitement and the passion to travel all around the world taking photographs of the great sacred sites—the pyramids, Machu Picchu, Stonehenge, all of those. Had no money. Not a dime. Did not allow that to stop her. Because she stayed in the vibrational state where she knew that that wasn’t necessarily a requirement. She allowed herself to have an inspiration—what many people on your planet would call a crazy, wacky idea that will never work. But she didn’t listen to that energy. She didn’t say, “Oh, I absolutely must have money. I absolutely cannot travel around the world taking these photographs if I don’t have money. There’s just no other way.” She didn’t say that. She said, “There must be another way, because I know there are other forms of abundance besides money.” Because abundance is just the ability to do what you need to do when you need to do it. Period. She knew that. Thus then she stayed in the state that allowed her to have an inspiration. This crazy idea: I will go to the airlines and I will ask them to fly me around the world for free. Because she understood that it always requires some form of energy exchange. The inspiration continued to allow her to say, “Well, not only will I go to the airlines and ask them to fly me around the world for free, it won’t really be in that sense for free, because what I will exchange with them will be all the glorious photographs I will take that they can also use in their brochures to attract tourists to fly their airlines.” The airline said yes. Flew her all around the world for free. Not only for free, in exchange for those glorious photos, but actually put her up in the best hotels for free, fed her the best food for free, and actually paid her. That’s the power of inspiration when you stop making associations between things you have no business making connections to. Are you beginning to get the point?
Asker
Yeah, I think I get the point. So stay with the inspiration, and then another inspiration of how will come?
Bashar
Because you cannot perceive what you are not the vibration of first. So if you are not the vibration of being inspired, you can never receive an idea that will allow you to act on that inspiration. You will never perceive it. It will be invisible to you.
Asker
I got it. So stay inspired and inspired action will come. Okay, got that. Does that help you?
Bashar
Yeah. And remember, this isn’t wishful thinking. It’s physics. Okay.
Deceased Mother & Quality Time
Asker
Does that help? It does. Anything else? Yes. My mom died a little over a year ago, and I’ve felt her hanging around quite a bit, so to speak.
Bashar
Well, tell me about that. What do you mean, “so to speak”? Spirit beings have a little bit bigger, broader point of view, and they always know when perhaps they need to be of assistance to you. But it doesn’t mean she’s hanging around with nothing else to do. Spirits have lives to live. They have things to do. But they will always respond. They will be there for you because time and space for them is not what it is for you. And therefore they can be there when they need to be there. That doesn’t mean they’re hanging around.
Asker
So is it only when she needs to be there? It seems like she’s enjoying my life a little bit.
Bashar
Yes. When I say that, I mean they are willing and sometimes able to simply observe and enjoy what’s going on in your life. I don’t mean that they always have to have, in that sense, a reason that you need them to be there. They can look in. They can check in. They still love you. They’re still part of your family. You’re still part of theirs. But I am simply saying they also have lives. They don’t just hang around.
Asker
Well, I found myself the other day buying some books and being interested in these books that typically I wouldn’t be. But I suddenly realized these are books my mother would have liked.
Bashar
Then you may have received a suggestion. Okay. All right.
Asker
She’s not trying to read them through me, is she?
Bashar
No, no. A spirit can simply understand instantly what’s in a book. Doesn’t need to read them in that sense. Although she may enjoy being with you while you read them. That’s what I was thinking. Yes. Okay. But it’s not because she needs to read the book. She’s just enjoying your experience of reading the book. Okay.
Asker
Okay. Then she’s sharing quality time with me.
Bashar
That’s what I thought. Yeah. Okay.
Superstition & Negative Thinking
Asker
In my work I work with a lot of people and the way they think about things. One of the things I come up with with people is a belief that they need to think in negative ways about things because if they think in positive ways, bad things will happen.
Bashar
Yes. That’s a belief.
Asker
So it’s like a superstition that if they think really negatively and maybe even suffer, then good things will happen to them.
Bashar
All right. Well, whatever permission slip works for you. Right. That’s basically where I get with them, and then it’s kind of like, okay, is that the end of our work? It seems like there could be a creative way to work with that with them.
Asker
There could be, and I will leave it up to your inspiration to find out what that might be.
Bashar
No ideas?
Asker
Oh, I have tons of ideas. It’s just not necessarily appropriate for us to spoil all the surprises for you. Oh, come on. Okay. Anything else for me that you have?
Historic Inspirations
Bashar
One moment. Name a historic figure that is one of your strongest inspirations based on what it is you’ve chosen to do in life that excites you.
Asker
Carl Jung.
Bashar
Why Carl Jung? Philosophy, psychology.
Asker
I don’t know.
Bashar
So tapping more strongly into their vibration will allow you an opportunity to see things more strongly from their point of view, and that will give you further insights in your work. All right. Cool. Okay. All right. Thank you very much.
Fourteenth Voter
Vote: Fifth Law
Reason: “Focusing on the fact that everything exists in the now helps with synchronicity and moving away from being attached to the past.”
Asker
My 1st challenge is relationships. I feel like I haven’t been able to attract… I want to experience a relationship and experience a family.
Bashar
You have no relationships of any kind in your life?
Asker
I had, but nothing that…
Bashar
You had? So you know no one? You have no friends, no family?
Asker
I’m sorry, I meant in a romantic relationship, someone to share my life with.
Bashar
Oh, all right. But you are sharing your life with many people.
Asker
I think you’re missing my point.
Bashar
Why are you calling that out as different than anything else? Why are you making that stand out and making it seem so different to achieve other than the relationships you already have?
Asker
Maybe because I have a specific definition of that relationship that is different from, say, friendship.
Bashar
All right. I’m not saying that there aren’t relationships that are different in that context. But nevertheless, I’m asking why are you making it stand out as being so different than attracting any kind of relationship? It might be that your definition is making it more difficult to attract because you’re creating it to be such a rarified thing.
Asker
I believe that’s correct. You’re putting it on a pedestal. Yes.
Bashar
Well, hard to reach, isn’t it, when it’s on a pedestal? If you bring it down to earth like any relationship—I’m not devaluing it, not invalidating it—but if you allow it to be like any relationship, generally speaking, then whatever unique aspects that relationship has for you will be easier to access. But you can’t put it on a pedestal and expect to reach it. Does that make sense?
Asker
Yes. This is very similar to the idea of having a particular assumption, insistence, or expectation for how something should play out. And as we have already said, the formula for following your excitement is to drop all of that—assumption and insistence and expectation for what the outcome ought to be or how it should look or in what form it should come. So putting things on a pedestal is very similar to that expectation.
Bashar
I’m noticing that I’m not only putting it on a pedestal, but I’m also becoming very picky as time goes, which you would think would be the opposite. I have this really strong… Do you not trust your life to bring you what you truly need? Do you have to engineer every detail to make sure it’s right? Because becoming more picky, as you say, is the surest way to get reflections of others who are going to be just as picky about you. Remember, physical reality is a mirror. And if you become too picky—not saying you can’t have preferences, but if you become judgmentally picky—then what you’re going to get is a reflection of people who are also going to be picky about whether or not they want to interact with you, because that’s what you’re giving off. Make sense?
Asker
Yes. Is this helping you relax some of your need to engineer this? And does it increase your ability to trust that your life will unfold as it needs to a little bit more naturally?
Bashar
To some extent. When I ask myself, “Okay, if this never happens, will I still lead a happy and fulfilled life?” My answer to myself is yes. But I’m not sure if that’s kind of like a mind answer or that’s what I truly believe.
Bashar
Allow yourself to believe it if you wish. You don’t have to. But if you allow yourself to believe that you will still be truly happy even if that relationship never occurs, then you’ll be truly happy. And when you are truly happy, you make it far more likely that such a relationship will occur. That’s the paradox. Because you don’t need it in that context, in the sense of neediness, in the sense of desperation. So when you’re happy because you’re happy, then all the things that are capable of entering your life to reflect the happiness that you choose to have, regardless of whether they show up or not, will be more capable of showing up. Remember, manifestation is not the product of bringing something to you that you don’t have. Manifestation is the product of making visible what you already have but simply don’t see because you’re not in the same wavelength. If the idea of that joyful relationship is representative of happiness, then be happy regardless of whether the relationship is there, so at least you give the relationship a greater probability of showing up to reflect the happiness that you already have. Because you don’t need the relationship to make you happy.
Financial Abundance
Asker
My 2nd great challenge is financial abundance?
Asker
Be abundant in all ways, not just financially. Why limit it?
Many people think, “Oh, well, if I have a lot of money, then I’m really abundant,” when in fact having a lot of money could actually be shutting the door to other forms of abundance that would actually be greater. Money is fine because that’s a valid symbol on your planet, but it isn’t always the path of least resistance to true abundance. Where it’s needed, it will come in. Where it’s not needed, it won’t. And sometimes it not coming in is actually a way for you to get an idea that maybe another form of abundance would actually work better in that circumstance. Such as we describe with regard to the photographer.
Asker
I’m always prosperous, but there’s almost like a wall where it kind of taps out.
Bashar
And again, you’re creating the wall with your definitions. There are no walls except as you define them. But again, you may be defining that wall because you believe you need more of a particular kind of abundance than any other. And as soon as you make one form of abundance unequal to all the rest, you throw the whole thing out of whack. All forms of abundance must be equally valid in order for any form of abundance to come to you more easily. As soon as you single one out as being more important, you shut the doors through which all the other forms could come, and you actually make it more difficult for even the form you’re focused on to manifest. Because now it can’t count on the support of all the other forms of synchronous abundance that may be required for that form to manifest. Because they all work together. They are not segregated. All forms of abundance support all other forms of abundance. As I said in the example with the photographer, even though she was willing to simply be flown around the world in exchange for the photographs, the airline still paid her. So her willingness to allow one form of abundance actually attracted another form of abundance, and another form, and another, because they’re all interconnected. So don’t insist on just one form, otherwise you will shortchange yourself.
Asker
So you can’t say, “I’m just going to focus on this one thing”?
Bashar
You can if you wish. But I’m simply telling you that sometimes when you do that, you’re taking the longer road. But if that’s the road you wish to take, if that’s the path you’re exploring, if that’s the theme you’re looking into, then by all means, that’s what you will keep doing until you have gotten every single ounce of understanding and learning out of it that you chose to get out of it. And I’m not going to stop you or dissuade you from taking that path. I am simply telling you what the underlying mechanisms are all about, so that you have clarity about why you’re choosing what you’re choosing and why you’re exploring what you’re exploring, so that you don’t think anything is wrong. You just understand that you’re making choices, and that there are consequences to those choices, and that you can make other choices if you ultimately prefer to. And that’s all we’re telling you. It’s up to you.
Telling if Someone is Lying
Asker
There was one question that was brought to me by one of the audience: how can you tell if someone is lying?
Bashar
We already answered that. What difference does it make?
Asker
I’m just the messenger.
Bashar
All right. But the idea really is, ultimately, what difference does it make? If you know that whatever state of being you’re creating for yourself is what you will experience, no matter what anyone else’s intention toward you is, it doesn’t really much matter if they’re lying to you or not. Because you know that the only effect you’re going to have in your reality is going to be a positive one, regardless of what’s going to happen with them.
Ultimately, it doesn’t matter.
Fifteenth Voter
Vote: Fifth Law
Reason: Clarity: “To my human mind, the One being the All and the All being the One doesn’t necessarily capture the essence of ’everything is here and now.'”
Asker
One of my questions is: the One is the All, the All is the One, the One is pretending to be you, pretending to be me…
Bashar
Not pretending. It is you.
Asker
Right, right, right. In an illusionary sense, creating, so to speak, my physical… but a real experience.
Bashar
Oh, for sure.
Asker
So how does that exactly relate to “everything is here now” and the fact that time is an illusion? On the other side, where we’re all one, what do we experience time as?
Bashar
You don’t experience it.
Asker
Okay.
Bashar
Everything is one. Everything is now. Everything is here. All right. So pretty self-explanatory. Does that help you?
Asker
Yeah. My other question is, can you do that thing where you go “one moment, one moment” and then tell me about myself? I need assurance of being on the right path.
Asker
What makes you think you’re not?
Bashar
I think I am.
Asker
Then why do you need assurance? Because you’re awesome. Full of awe.
Asker
Why do you need assurance if you know you’re on your path?
Bashar
It helps me keep going when I lack motivation.
Asker
Why do you lack motivation?
Bashar
Because sometimes it’s hard.
Asker
The path is the path. And what makes it hard?
Bashar
My negative core beliefs.
Asker
And thus then, when you discover your negative core beliefs and you realize you don’t prefer them, what do you do?
Bashar
Get rid of them. Change them. You let them go. You transform them. Yes. Well, if you’ve done that, then it’s not so hard.
Asker
Yeah, but there’s always more negative core beliefs around the corner.
Bashar
So that’s exciting. Remember, just because there are negative beliefs doesn’t mean you have to experience the discovery and transformation of them in a negative way.
Collective Agreement & Number of Lives
Asker
Bashar, how many are listening at this moment? Like how many beings are aware of this?
Bashar
475 million.
Asker
Wow. And your name changed from Ishtak to Shak?
Bashar
Ishtak. Shakan.
Asker
Shakan? Okay. So from now on you are Shakan people? We are moving into fifth density and are Shakan people. Yes. Very interesting. How do we relate to one another in each other’s realities? Since I got here, I have shifted to a reality based on my beliefs, and everyone else has done that way, right?
Bashar
You are all shifting all the time. But obviously there are certain similarities you agree to experience in your own individual realities that make it seem like a collectively shared reality.
You all have the idea of a Collective Agreement. When you decide to play the Earth game, you create that Collective Agreement so that you won’t have to think about certain things all the time, like gravity and breathing and so on and so forth. The idea therefore is that you can focus on what you need to focus on with regard to your individual transformations without necessarily being concerned about paying attention to always maintaining the similarities with all the others to play the same game.
Bashar
It’s like playing chess – you have to play on a board with certain pieces with certain rules.
That’s exactly what you’re doing. You’re all agreeing that there will be this kind of board, this kind of game, these kinds of rules, these kinds of pieces. And then you can each play the game as you see fit, in a multitude of combinations that are individual, but you’re all still playing chess because you all agree by the general rules of chess that you will play that game. And you can play it any way you wish within the rules of that game.
Asker
So nobody really dies then, right?
Bashar
Not really. You just transform into another form. Yes.
Asker
And once you exist, you exist. You can’t not exist. By definition, non-existence doesn’t exist. So you can’t go there.
Asker
Understand. All right. So how many coexisting lives do I have that are relevant for me right now?
Bashar
It would seem to be somewhere in the neighborhood of about 157, give or take.
Asker
That’s great. So is this one my last one in this physical?
Bashar
“Last” is a relative term. You can create the experience that this life on Earth right now seems to be your last one. But again, that’s simply a statement being made from within a linear space-time framework.
Asker
That’s very true. I know. Have you or anybody from your civilization visited me physically in an orb format or in a different way?
Bashar
Beings from other hybrid civilizations have paid you a visit. The Yahyel. Yes.
Asker
Can you talk a little bit more of the Yahyel? About what? My relation to them.
Bashar
Obviously you have counterparts in their civilization. Because generally when you make some kind of a connection to another civilization, you’ll be making a connection to the counterpart life you have in that civilization.
Asker
So basically I can create a life… you have created a life…
Bashar
Yes.
Asker
Before I even exist on this one?
Bashar
Again, “before” is a relative term, just in linear speaking. Like for example, so basically everyone is a version of myself? Everyone exists at once. What you perceive is a reflection and version of yourself. It doesn’t discount the idea that everyone is their own selves too. Remember, it’s “this and that,” not “this or that.”
Asker
All right. Fascinating. And talking to… also might not be related but it is: because it’s the first planet we’re going to visit, it’s called Ula. Ula. Okay. And do I have a coexisting life where I’m one of the first pilots?
Bashar
You do have a connection to that civilization.
Asker
Oh, that’s great. That is all we are allowed to say. All right. Thanks. And one more thing: can I shake hands with you in a moment with my hands?
Bashar
My hands are not there. With Darryl, we will in this sense allow for what has come to be a current trend on your planet.
Asker
That’s how I like it too. Thank you. Thank you, Bashar. I love you.
Bashar
That is also a form of contact.
Voter

Because a change in belief—this is a core fundamental belief that changes everything. It’s fundamental for changing everything I used to believe in when I used to believe in a linear timeline. So it affects pretty much everything.
Bashar
The linear timeline is a real experience, even though it is illusionary as a side effect. Yes. And this belief helps me understand that. Thank you. What else would you like to discuss?
Asker
I’m very interested in, and I would like you to tell us about, the vimanas that are written about in the Vedic scriptures.
Bashar
Well, there were ancient civilizations on your planet that understood the idea of how to create levitating craft.
Asker
Were the vimanas piloted by extraterrestrials or human beings?
Bashar
Both.
Asker
What was the conflict about?
Bashar
One moment. We will see if we can translate this into your cultural understanding. You’ve heard the phrase “stealing thunder from the gods”? Yes. The conflict that was created in that time was the idea of who deserved to have the technology. Okay. Do you understand? Yes. Thus some of the technology was stolen and utilized, and there were repercussions.
Asker
Which races, extraterrestrial and human, were involved in this conflict?
Bashar
Those in what you call the early Indus Valley, in terms of the human side, in Asia. In terms of the extraterrestrial side, we are not allowed to tell you that.
Asker
Okay. And how long did this conflict last in your terms of time?
Bashar
There were different phases, but overall approximately 72 of your years.
Asker
And approximately how long ago was this?
Bashar
You will find this to be more than 3,000 of your years ago.
Asker
And are the Sumerian legends speaking of these events also, or was that a different set of events?
Bashar
In the ancient Sumerian, it is a mixture of things, some of which is touching on these, some of which touches on other things.
Asker
And what are the consequences on human beings? Was this part of starting civilization for human beings?
Bashar
It wasn’t that far back. Some of the consequences were the destruction and interruption of certain cultures.
Asker
So are there repercussions now in the way we deal with conflicts and wars because of this, or have we resolved all the issues?
Bashar
Again, there is no such thing as the idea of the past affecting the present unless you believe that there is. But certainly it is in the overall mixture of what you are exploring, as the concept of how you wish to relate to the concept of technology, with regard to power, with regard to space, with regard to your culture, with regard to your responsibilities to the cosmos, and so on and so forth, with regard to your relationship to Creation. All these, shall we say, issues are at hand as they were then. And you seem to be going in a similar but then slightly different direction this time, I’ll say. Okay. Does that help?
Asker
Yes. And are these people in the Indus Valley related in any way to the Lyrans?
Bashar
Not as directly as you might think, but there are some ancient offshoots that are intermixed genetically in with that culture, but not as much as you necessarily would think directly.

I vote for five because of clarity.
Asker
All right. I was up a mountain in Sonoma three nights ago and I saw what I believed was a spacecraft. I wondered whether you might be able to shed some light on who I was looking at, or who was looking at me.
Bashar
Define the spacecraft.
Asker
I saw a point of light that then expanded to become a big glowing white light, which then started moving across the sky, and then the light turned off and it was a sort of gray sphere that disappeared.
Bashar
These are called Observers. They are a neutral binding force between a variety of cultures. They check in and see what certain cultures, spacefaring cultures, are doing and how they are interacting with planetary-bound cultures. Assessing, observing, recommending, and suggesting courses of action in future interactions and contact and observations. Does that make sense to you in your language?
Asker
Yes. I had a second question: I’ve been experimenting with a South American brew called ayahuasca, and whenever I’ve taken it, it seems to me that it’s a sort of gateway.
Bashar
It can be. There are many natural substances produced by the Earth that will allow for the opening of doors and windows into other dimensional realms and perceptions of such. The idea, of course, to remember is that these are teachers. And that once they have taught you the idea of the vibrational state that is necessary to peer into those other dimensions and bring information back to apply to your reality, then you can create those states yourself without necessarily needing the physical teacher from that point forward.
Asker
So when people talk about ayahuasca as having a spirit, they treat it as if it’s got an intelligence of its own.
Bashar
Of course it does. Everything has an intelligence of its own, because everything is made from consciousness.
Asker
Because I’ve noticed that practitioners who work with ayahuasca have sort of almost turned it into a kind of deity.
Bashar
Well, in the sense that it is an archetypal form, an archetypal representation of consciousness that exists in its own realm, I suppose you could use that term. But it is not the teacher’s intention to be deified.

I’m considering that. And I have a question regarding… if there’s no real time or space, or there is the experience of time and space but it does not really exist empirically on its own, can I send love to people in what we would call the past—people on the other side of the world, say in Syria, and to my parents who have died—and will they feel it?
Bashar
Of course. Not all will necessarily perceive it in the same way, but they will receive it, and they will process it in whatever way is relevant for the path they are on. But of course they will receive it, because you are all connected. You are all one.
Asker
So people who have suffered in the past can get some encouragement from that?
Bashar
Of course. Everything is about resonance. Everything is about vibration. You are all one. You are all connected. Whatever you give off provides an opportunity for others to also match the frequency, should they desire to do so.
Asker
That’s wonderful. And my other question is: I am in a community of people who believe in spiritual healing through prayer, but it doesn’t seem to happen in my life for me or for those that I pray for. I’m wondering—not your particular permission slip—is there a permission slip that you believe would work differently or better for me?
Bashar
Love is the only thing. Then you can simply use love in the way that you’ve already defined the connection, in the way you’ve already defined using it, if that works best for you.
Asker
And can that result in healing?
Bashar
It can, if the other person chooses to heal themselves. Remember, no healer actually heals another person. They give off a vibration that is the vibration of health, and the other person must choose to match that vibration in order to heal themselves. But that shouldn’t stop anyone from giving the vibration off.
Asker
Can you tell me why I’m not healing from… well, I have a variety of things, but let’s just say a toe inflammation.
Bashar
How does it serve you to have that? What does it force you to focus on in your life that otherwise you may not have focused on if you didn’t have this experience?
Asker
It makes me try to be a better person, because I feel like I have to get to a higher vibration to heal. But I don’t feel like I’m getting anywhere.
Bashar
Do you feel you’re worthy?
Asker
Hesitation usually means no.
Bashar
Is this all connected to issues of your self-worth?
Asker
Possibly. Probably. I always feel like I’m a bad person, not good enough.
Bashar
Why do you buy into that? Why are you arguing with Creation? Do you like arguing with Creation?
Asker
No.
Bashar
Well, then why are you arguing with Creation about your worth? Do you think that Creation makes mistakes?
Asker
Seems to have made some mistakes with me. I have even birth defects.
Bashar
So why is that a mistake? How do you know you haven’t chosen these in this life to focus you in a certain way, to exhibit your mastery over physical reality?
Asker
I don’t know that.
Bashar
Well, then why not allow yourself to think that that might at least be a possibility? Perhaps you are deciding that there are certain kinds of experiences you would have liked to have had, and you could have had them—I’ll just speak linearly—over many lifetimes. But then you decided, you know what? Let’s just all get it over with in one life. Throw it at me. Heap it on me right now. I can handle it. Why not that idea? It’s possible.
Asker
I feel like I’m aiming towards mastery over the physical realm, but somehow I’m stuck.
Bashar
But remember, and here’s the seed, here’s the core, here’s the kernel: Mastery over physical reality doesn’t necessarily mean that you alter it. Mastery over physical reality means you don’t care if it changes or not. Do you understand the difference? Yes. When you understand that you can be in bliss regardless of what’s going on in the physical reality, then you will have mastered physical reality. Does that help?
Asker
It does. But how do I change the feeling that I don’t have what it takes to do that?
Bashar
What is it based on, your feeling that you don’t have what it takes? But you know that a feeling comes from something you believe to be true. Yes. Why do you believe it’s true that you don’t have what it takes? In fact, actually, I’ll ask the question in a different way: how is it possible that you could have or not have what it takes? How could you exist? How could you have any experience at all if you didn’t have what it took? How are you creating the experiences you’re having if you didn’t have what it took? You understand that you’re creating your reality every moment. Yes. Well, how can you do that if you don’t have what it takes?
Asker
Seems like I have a lower level of what it takes. I’m creating a poor reality.
Bashar
You are creating a reality every bit as strong as anyone else’s reality. It’s just that you’re defining it in a way that allows you to experience it in the way you’re experiencing it. Remember, as we have said, many people on your planet believe you’re only using 10% of your brain. That’s nonsense. You’re using 100% of your brain. But you’re using 100% of your brain to make it seem as if you’re only using 10%. That’s very different than actually only using 10%. So when you know you’re using 100% of your brain to make it seem as if you’re only using 10%, you can decide to use 100% of your brain to make it seem as if you’re using more. So similarly, even though you may be designing or choosing a reality that seems poor, you understand that you are completely and utterly creating it every bit of it as strongly as anyone else creates their reality. No matter what the configuration of that reality may be, they are equal in the sense that they both are created to be just as powerful. No matter what the configuration. So you have the opportunity and the option to simply change the configuration. It has absolutely nothing at all to do with the degree to which you’re creating reality. The degree to which you all create reality is the same. It’s just about what’s the configuration you’re choosing. But your ability to create reality is equal to anyone else’s, or you wouldn’t be having an experiential reality at all. Do you understand the difference? Yes. So use the power you are obviously clearly already exhibiting in creating the reality that you’re creating to relax your need to believe that you’re missing something, and just relax into the understanding that you’re missing nothing. And when you relax into the understanding that you’re missing nothing, you will gain more capability to configure the reality in the way that you truly prefer. You understand? Yes. You have to use paradox in that way. Does that help you?

Asker
I follow my passion, which is nutrition and longevity, and I’m exploring lately using tonics and elixirs.
Bashar
All right. Those permission slips, yes. And I’m enjoying them very much. All right. And I was just wondering if you can share a recipe for a good tonic for me.
Asker
I thought you were the one that was excited about creating potions and tonics.
Bashar
Yes, I am, but… Well, then why aren’t you creating the recipe with your excitement? Because the only thing I would give you would simply be another permission slip, and your imagination would decide whether or not it is something that would work for it or not. It’s just a permission slip. If you are excited about tonics as permission slips, then design a tonic that works for you as the best permission slip.
Asker
No, I see what you were meaning. But I was… you want a formula? Yes.
Bashar
Water.
Asker
No, that’s not funny.

I understand. Totally. The purest tonic there is. Yes.

I found a spring water that I’m using and I’m very excited about that too.

My vote is five. That’s what I… Yes. Thank you for your vote. I just agree because I’ve noticed that this room is fairly intelligent, so I just agree with everybody in the room.
Bashar
Oh, notice he said the room is intelligent, but not the people in it. The collective consciousness. All right. Thank you.
Asker
My first question is: do we live in a simulated reality?
Bashar
You’re the one creating it, so in a sense, yes.
Asker
Can you elaborate a little more?
Bashar
You are simply consciousness. Everything that’s going on that you think is external is happening in your consciousness. There is no outside. Not really. Isn’t that a simulation? Yeah. Well, there you go. Okay. Next question.
Asker
You said we’re third-density beings moving into fourth density. That is Ascension. Yes. And I’ve noticed a disassociation with some of my friends and family.
Bashar
A natural symptom of moving into a different frequency that they may not choose to be compatible with.
Asker
I would just like to make a statement here. At first I was afraid of it, but I continued along the path because some part of me felt it was right. And then I saw my friends and family changing in a more positive way.
Bashar
What you saw was again you shifting to a reality where the versions of them that exist in that reality are more in alignment with the changes you made within yourself. It’s not the same individuals.
Asker
And I want to know how I could amplify that frequency.
Bashar
Keep acting on your highest excitement to the best of your ability, with absolutely no insistence on the outcome. That’s the only formula that’s necessary. If you don’t want to believe it’s that simple, you don’t have to, but it is. Okay. Does that help you?
Asker
Yeah. And this is kind of hard to word, but through Ascension, will we get essentially superpowers like what we would consider superpowers today—like telepathy and telekinesis?
Bashar
Yes. Because those are the representations of certain vibratory levels. And acting on our highest frequency, if we figure out how to master these, we can make these more powerful if we amplify our frequency.
Asker
Mastering them simply is the natural side effect of acting on your highest joy.
Bashar
Okay. It comes naturally as you expand your vibration, as you increase your frequency. These things come naturally. They are natural attributes within you when you exist at a certain frequency domain.
Asker
Cool. I personally have never done psychedelics. I’d like to get that out there. But I was wondering if mushrooms had a part in human evolution.
Bashar
Again, all the things that are growing naturally on the Earth that the Earth provides as teachers have a part in the idea of the evolution of consciousness on your planet when used appropriately.
Asker
And I heard one of your teachings about marijuana being the gateway drug—yes, to your mind, not to other drugs—yes. It is again the idea of a particular vibration that represents the threshold between physical and non-physical reality that we call the template level reality or the blueprint level reality, wherein in a sense your consciousness designs the physical experiences that you will have. Therefore that particular teacher is capable of producing a vibration that allows you to reconsider and rearrange the idea of the blueprint in your life.
Bashar
Okay. So it’s essentially like taking, consuming a frequency.
Asker
Yes. Everything is frequency. Everything is resonance. No matter whether it is represented chemically or not, because that’s just a physical symbol of an energy.
Bashar
Okay. And I’ve noticed a lot of similar movements towards extraterrestrials, but my biggest concern with all of them is they all seem to be strong in their beliefs, and I’m worried that they won’t find unity until the time comes.
Asker
So what if that’s the path they have chosen? That’s the path they have chosen. And besides which, all beliefs are true anyway in their own relative realities.
Bashar
It’s just hard for me to accept that my beliefs aren’t the right ones.
Asker
But why? They’re the right ones for you. How can they possibly be the right ones for anyone else, since you are not anyone else?
Bashar
I am everyone else.
Asker
You are your version of everyone else. Okay.
Stonehenge
Asker
One last question. Stonehenge—what was the purpose of it and why was it put there?
Bashar
Well, you already understand its astronomical significance to a degree. All well, the idea again is that there were certain cataclysms that happened upon your planet, that in order to understand how perhaps to change that vibration in the future, certain edifices were created that allowed for the possibility of understanding cycles more precisely. So that vibrational cycles could be aligned with in such a way as to allow for a smoothing out of certain expressions that were catastrophic in the past. Does that translate into your language correctly?
Asker
For most people, not for you.
Bashar
The idea of building something that focuses you on the idea that there are cycles in your reality—cycles of precession, cycles of progression, cycles of change and shift that are regular cycles. Once you get in touch with the fact that these cycles exist in a very precise mathematical relationship, you can key into the vibration of those cycles with your consciousness. And thus then, focusing on those cycles with consciousness in a certain way, you can actually harmonize with those cycles to such a degree that you can actually change the way events unfold on the planet. Okay. Is that a clearer explanation?
Asker
Yes. Thank you. One last question: 2012—it was a changing in the Earth’s energy, but could you explain how?
Bashar
As we have said, first of all, it is a tipping of the scales from the collective energy of your civilization going from slightly more negative to slightly more positive. And now you can snowball that positive energy into something greater. So you’ve tipped the scales, you’ve crossed the threshold. It is also, or was, the end of what we call the quarantine from extraterrestrial civilizations coming to your world. It doesn’t mean we’ll all land all at once, but it means that now the idea of exactly when the appropriate timing for open contact will occur is completely in your hands. And none of our laws will now prevent it, since you are no longer under quarantine.
Asker
So now we’re at your mercy.
Bashar
We are very merciful. What we have actually told you is that we are taking our cue completely from you. You’re the ones who will determine when we all meet. It has nothing to do with us. All we were doing is taking a hands-off policy so that we would in that sense not in any way, shape or form intervene in your process. But now your process has progressed to the point where it’s not an issue about us intervening. It’s an issue of whether you have decided you are actually truly ready for such interaction. We are taking our cue from you utterly. If you say you’re not ready, we will not come.
Asker
As a planet?
Bashar
Well, at least a certain percentage of the collective. It doesn’t necessarily require that every single being on your planet agree that there should be open contact for there to be enough of a mass consensus for it to begin to occur. But again, of course, remember that as it begins to occur, the acceleration and shifting from one parallel Earth to another will accelerate in such a way that we will thus then simply shift to a parallel reality where there are versions of more and more and more people in those parallel Earths that are in favor of open contact. So it won’t be the same people anyway.
Youstream Questions
Host
We just have a few moments left and we did have a question from our Ustream listeners, if we have time for that: how can we tell what the higher self has planned for us? Can it be renegotiated?
Bashar
Actually, in a sense, yes it can. And the way you can tell, as we said, is that the greatest challenges that you face in your life, they usually are representative of the theme that you chose to explore from the perspective of the higher self. Once you understand that and once you utilize those challenges in the way that allows you to transform them in a positive sense, then if you choose to use up the theme that you’ve decided on exploring to begin with, you can choose to continue and explore other themes. You can renegotiate the contract. So basically you still have to transmute what you agreed to explore first. Unless one of the things you agreed to explore was the transmutation of the original contract, then you don’t have to. Then you wouldn’t. But don’t get all caught up in that. That’s not true for most of you. Okay. Does that help?
Asker
Yes.
Bashar
You did know what you were doing when you chose the path you chose. Even though now, in this day and age, you have far greater flexibility than you allowed yourselves in what you would call the past, including the ability to renegotiate these ideas. Still, for the most part, you knew what you were doing when you chose the path you chose. And those are generally the themes you do actually wish to explore. But you can add things to them. You can do them very differently now than you used to. So it’s really up to you to understand what flexibility is all about, what choice is all about, what responsibility is all about, and truly, truly create within yourself an absolute knowingness in your ability to respond. And as soon as you have true response ability, you will have far more flexibility and malleability in what themes you can choose to explore. And that is higher fourth-density awareness. So we thank you for your willingness to explore these new ideas. You may now take a short break. We will resume this transmission with your holot hope experience to crystallize and lock in the ideas we have discussed this day of your time.

I have questions on the excavation of the Sphinx. They say that it’s about 8,000 years old, and it’s older than that. What is it?
Bashar
10,500. Underneath it are mysteries
Bashar
Do you remember the statue of Anubis? It’s the jackal-headed god of the underworld. A jackal, like a dog, sitting like the Sphinx down.
Because that is originally what the Sphinx was: Anubis. Thank you. As Anubis is depicted most often in ancient Egyptian society, the Anubis jackal is sitting on a box. So is the Sphinx sitting on an underground box?
Bashar
An underground chamber of mysteries and secrets. Some of these have actually already been discovered and hidden from the public, but most have not. For it is not yet quite time for some of its mysteries to be revealed. But there are still several there in the underground box, in secret chambers, that have yet to be opened, and will not be opened until a deeper understanding is had of frequency, of resonance, of ratio and proportion. And when the right song is sung and the right vibration resounds, the box will reveal its secrets one after the other. This may occur any time between now and the year you call 2050. It depends upon exactly the rate of acceleration in your society, the rate of ascension, what happens with respect to contact between your world and other civilizations in the contact window between 2025 and 2033. For each contact will not necessarily be the right time for the revelation of some of the mysteries in the box under the Sphinx. But it will come. Does this answer your question?
Asker
It does. Thank you. Anything else? Yes. Regarding the rate of acceleration and reading our vibration, how close are we to contact today?
Bashar
As I said, the likely window based on the sensing of the current vibration that exists in your society now is that sometime between your year of 2025 and 2033 you will have open contact with another civilization.
Asker
I’m really interested in the Akashic Records.
Bashar
The Akashic Records is simply a representation that everything is here and now, and therefore constantly accessible. It’s not a secret place.
It is simply your ability to know that everything is here and now, and therefore you can access any information you want, any time you want, as long as you become equal to the vibrational resonance of the information that you wish to access. Because everything exists here and now.
Astral Travel
Asker
I also had a question about astral travel. How do I do that?
Bashar
When you don’t know you’re doing it.
You often do it in your sleep, as most of you do, when you relax the mind and let go of the spirit in that sense.
But remember, even though again, again, the illusion, the experience would seem to be that you are a spirit leaving the body, all that’s actually happening is that your consciousness is expanding beyond the parameters of physical reality. You can still create the illusion that you are floating in a spirit form above your body, but you’re just expanding like a sphere, your focal point of consciousness. So in a sense, what that ought to really tell you is that even though this is also a symbol and also a euphemism, it’s not so much that your body contains your spirit. Your spirit contains your body. And when the spirit focuses itself down in a certain way, then it becomes a kind of crystallized experience of consciousness that you call physical reality. But the spirit leaving the body is just you expanding back out into a less crystallized focal point of consciousness.
Imagine thus then when you lay down to sleep this contracting and expanding sphere of crystalline consciousness, and feel yourself expanding as a sphere, as a bubble, beyond the body, expanding your focal point beyond the physical realm. And if you practice that, that is a permission slip that may give you the willingness to give yourself permission to lucidly realize that you are bridging the realities of physical and non-physical reality all the time.
Closing: Holot Experience and Integration
All of you, please become relaxed. Allow yourselves to relax. Take a deep breath in and let it out. Take another deep breath in and let it out. Take a deep breath in and let it out.
Continue to breathe easily and deeply as you allow your lights and music to rise and allow you to drift and drift and drift in your consciousness, deeper and deeper, softer and softer, in a more resonant way. Float upon the vibrational notes of sound and light.
As the colors shift, allow yourselves to look upon the holot in the center of the holot and take it all in with your eyes gently focusing on the entire image. And imagine if you will that you are floating above the circular council table of the Interstellar Alliance in the council chamber, and that each little shape around the edge is another being, another member of the Alliance.
Allow yourselves to be a spirit floating above the conclave that is discussing and exploring many different kinds of issues, many different kinds of ideas and perspectives. Allow yourself just to float freely above that conference table in that chamber.
And as you do so, and you observe looking down at all the beings sitting around the table and all the beings in rows and rows behind them in the galleries in the amphitheater, all focused on the ideas presented in the center of the chamber, the focal point of the holot is the issue itself, the idea itself, the concept itself.
And all minds are linked and ponder, pondering the mysteries of this concept of the laws of creation—four or five.
Today most of you have voted for the Five Laws, even as we have also voted for Five Laws to aid and assist in clarity and understanding among the many civilizations who choose that expression as the most representative of this concept, the most clear, the most crystallized form of this idea.
And as you float above the council chamber and the conference table and view all the beings in attendance at this enclave, allow yourselves, allow your focus to drift to one being in particular at any point in that chamber. That being is you.
And your presence in this chamber, at this enclave, at this table, is welcome. You belong. You belong. You belong.
And you are invited to share and participate and voice your opinion. Your perspective, your unique vibration, adds to the vibration of the whole, and the vibration of the whole supports the unique individual perspective that you are and welcomes you and nourishes you and encourages you to share the beauty, the crystal in beauty, of the facet of the multi-dimensional crystal of creation that you uniquely are.
For you are now looking into the Eye of Creation from which all concepts come, from which all ideas issue. For that is all we are ever pondering. For that is the only mystery. That is the only adventure. That is the only exploration—is to know, to know, to know All-That-Is as best we can from our unique perspective, and to be, to be who we are as fully as we can, acting on our highest joy, our highest passion, our highest excitement, our highest unconditional love of allowance, openness, and action.
To radiate ripples, vibratory energy outward to all beings not only in the Alliance but throughout creation—to send together that invitation to all to join, but never lose their unique individuality, but to harmonize with all of us and to sing and to ring with the voices of all beings within All-That-Is that make up the very vibrational signature of creation itself.
The Music of the Spheres, the music of all dimensional levels of all realities of all experiences, that vibrational clarion call of All-That-Is to you that gives off the ripples and waves of light that reach your shores and upon which you float back to the center of all being and discover therein in that moment, in that center, that you are All-That-Is.
And you explode in ecstasy in all forms, in all dimensions, in all realms, in all realities, in all expressions, and all the components that are the big picture together that support the whole, that support the all, that support the One.
The Five Laws of Creation now become crystallized within you to aid and assist in your deepest understanding of your relationship to creation and your relationship to all as creation.
Ringing forth, ringing forth, ringing forth. Allow yourselves to answer the call.
It is now the voice of creation itself that speaks to you directly from within your hearts, from within your minds, from within your souls. Be at peace, for I am here and we are one.
Unconditional love is what you are made from. Unconditional love is the wave that you ride. And unconditional love is all there is.
Answer the call and vote and be heard and be counted and stand tall and rest easy in your very essence, your very being. For all you will discover by answering that call is more of who you are.
Allow yourselves to breathe this in deeply and make it your own, and let it out into the atmosphere of your reality. And breathe it in deeply and let it out and let it be the reality that you live.
And breathe it in and hold it and hold it and hold it and blow it out. And be renewed and be refreshed and drift in the arms of Creation in total support, in total love, in total brotherhood and sisterhood with all of us and all of you.
We are family. We are family. We are family. Welcome home. Welcome home. Welcome home.
Allow your music to relax, allow your lights to soften, soften gently, gently, gently. Allow all to fade away that does not belong in the vibration of your preference. And slowly, slowly awaken into a new reality, a new you.
Welcome. Our unconditional love to you all and our deepest gratitude for the co-creation of this interaction this day of your time. Remember that as you venture forth, you are venturing forth into a new world. Explore with new eyes, with fresh eyes, for though some things may seem familiar, you have never been in this reality before. When you choose to see with new eyes, you will see new things and a new reality.
