Government Control and Microchipping

Balancing Family and Service

Audience: I believe that we are all given divine gifts.

Bashar: Of course you are. You’re all divine. You are divine gifts. It’s not something you are given; it’s something you are, because you’re made of divinity. Does that make sense?

Audience: Thank you. Yes. You’re welcome.

Audience: And I have been doing a lot of inner work. hopefully not too much effort.

Bashar: No, with ease and grace.

Audience: All right. And yes, I am unraveling my gifts and I am a healer. Oh, right. I’ve discovered that I’m a healer.

Bashar: Congratulations. Remembered that you’re a healer.

Audience: And remember that I am a channel for universal consciousness.

Bashar: All right. And then go and do with it what you feel.

Audience: I’m trying. I’m doing my best.

Bashar: I beg your pardon?

Audience: I’m doing my best.

Bashar: All right.

Audience: I have three small children, so I’m trying to balance—

Bashar: You mean like this? Big? Five, three, and fourteen months. Oh, I see.

Audience: All right. And I am doing my best and trying to—

Bashar: You’re doing your best.

Audience: I’m doing my best. All right. In balancing, yes. And I want to be of service to humanity, but I also—

Bashar: Well, you are by being yourself and doing your best. That’s all you need to do. Okay. It’s all you can do is your best. If somebody said, “I want you to do better than your best,” how is that possible? Yes, of course you will improve. Yes, of course you will change. But at any given moment, if you actually are doing your best, how can you do better than your best at that moment? It’s all you can do. Do your best. In the next moment, if you change, if you know how to do something differently on a different scale, then do your best at that. Of course you will grow. But at any given moment, if you’re doing your best, that’s the best you can do, and that’s all you need to do. That’s it.

Do you have too many expectations of yourself?

Audience: Yes.

Bashar: Why overburden yourself like that?

Audience: I have no idea.

Bashar: Does it make you think that you’re more deserving of whatever it is you achieve if you have to suffer for it?

Audience: No.

Bashar: All right. Then why not lighten your load a bit? As we said earlier, lighten up on yourself a bit. Okay. Yes, yes. Well, why not?

Audience: Any reason? You afraid of something? Afraid of someone saying something, thinking badly of you if you become who you wish to be?

Audience: Family.

Bashar: Well, why would they think that? Why would they think badly of you being who you actually are? Is it because they want you to be someone you’re not?

Audience: Yes.

Bashar: All right. Well, can I ask you a question, please? Is it possible to be someone you’re not?

Audience: Yes, it is.

Bashar: How? Enlighten us. How can you be someone you’re not? You can—to use your word—try to be someone you’re not, but you can’t be someone you’re not. Go ahead, be someone you’re not right now.

Audience: I believe that we are socially conditioned to the point—

Bashar: Socially conditioned is a fancy word for pattern and habit, and we already talked about pattern and habit.

Audience: I am socially conditioned.

Bashar: Oh, how good for you. If you know you’re socially conditioned, you’re no longer socially conditioned. Thank you.

So even though your family may not know this consciously, in their hearts, what they really wish for you in their spirits, in their souls, in their hearts, is for you to be who you truly are. That’s how you honor them. That’s how you honor yourself. I know that in their physical minds they may not think that way, but if you are going to be the good daughter, how about you think better for them?

Audience: Can you elaborate?

Bashar: Think better of yourself on their behalf. If they can’t do it for you, thank you. Does that help? Then you will be honoring their legacy, even if they don’t know that’s what you’re doing, because they really do want you to be who you are, even if they say differently. Makes sense?

Audience: Yes.

Bashar: All right. Because if you’re not who you really are, if you’re trying to be someone you’re not, you’re not really part of their family anyway, are you?

Audience: Yes, you—you understand? Yes.

Bashar: All right. So if you really, really, really want to be of the family, then you need to be who you really are. And by doing that—maybe, no guarantees—but maybe you will act as an example for them to also choose to be more of who they are, so they can see you through different eyes. They don’t have to choose that, and it doesn’t matter whether they do or not. It has no effect on what you choose for yourself. But if you’re not really willing to be yourself—well, I’ll just put it to you this way. This is not being said this way for the purpose of causing guilt, but if you’re not really choosing to be yourself, aren’t you kind of throwing the gift of life they gave you back in their face?

Audience: Yes.

Bashar: All right. So be yourself, no matter what they think, because they’re not you and you’re not them. You’re unique. It’s all well and good to listen to them for possible guidance—you may have missed a thing or two, and you might want to hear a different point of view now and then—but it’s up to you to decide whether or not a point of view someone gives you is true for you. And if you decide that it’s truly not, then it’s not. So don’t live a lie. Live your truth, or you’re not living at all. You’re just kind of hanging around.

There are many people on your planet who are not dead, but they are wandering ghosts. Flesh yourself out. Be fulfilled.

Fear of Change and Comfort

Audience: When I was younger, when I wanted to move somewhere such as Hawaii and Australia and Papua New Guinea, I just got up and moved without fear and without any thought of consequences. And now I’m older and I want to move back to California.

Bashar: And how old are you?

Audience: Sixty-five.

Bashar: What a baby! What a young whippersnapper! Okay. I am 178. So what is preventing you from moving where you say you prefer to be?

Audience: My issue with money. I don’t have the money. I don’t have the desire to move and take risks and just do it and not know what happens like I used to.

Bashar: Then don’t.

I know, and that’s what I’m doing.

Bashar: You have to honor your belief system. If you don’t believe your excitement will support you, but all that means is you don’t understand what it means when excitement is a complete kit.

But that’s all right. Okay. So that’s it. You have to honor your belief system. Obviously, you’re saying you don’t prefer to.

So let’s examine it step by step. What specifically now looks like a risk that didn’t look that way before, and what’s the difference between now and then?

Audience: The story is in my head about California is expensive and I can’t find a job and can’t support myself.

Bashar: And what changed? I didn’t think about those things before. That wasn’t even an issue then. Why are you thinking about them now?

Audience: That’s a good question. I don’t know.

Bashar: Thank you. Oh, I know you do. You have a good answer in there somewhere. What changed?

Audience: What changed? I’d like to cop out and say life experience. But—

Bashar: All right. Well, it’s all right. You can say, “Well, I picked up some ideas along the way.” Okay. They may not necessarily be in alignment with who I prefer to be, but I picked up some ideas. Okay.

Audience: I’ll go with that.

Bashar: All right. But if you know that you don’t prefer them, why hold on to them? How do they serve you?

Audience: They don’t serve me.

Bashar: Well, they obviously must in your mind, or you wouldn’t have them. Remember, when you hold onto something, it serves you, even if it’s negative. So how does holding on to these things serve you? What does it prevent you from doing so that you don’t go somewhere scary? How are you defining something as scary that you didn’t used to define that way? What changed? Why did your definitions change?

Audience: I’m hearing inside my head that I’ve just chosen to be comfortable.

Bashar: Comfortable. All right. And kind of a copout.

Audience: Well, all right. If you define comfort as a copout—although you don’t have to—

Bashar: Okay. Oh, I see. You’re thinking that because you go through different cycles in life, that something is wrong, that it’s not okay to suddenly be different and do things in a different way. It’s not okay to be comfortable and take a break. And if you’re not doing things the way you used to, then somehow you’re not living up to your full potential.

Audience: Bingo.

Bashar: Thank you. All right. Well, you know that that is really nonsense. So why buy into that? You can go through different phases. You can do things differently. It’s all right if you do them differently than before, as long as they’re in alignment with who you prefer to be.

Audience: I’m getting the judgment in being comfortable and not being the doer all the time.

Bashar: It’s similar to the idea on your planet that when people experience depression, they’re defining their experience in a negative way and so experiencing it as depression, when in fact all it really is is the natural compression that happens when you know you’re looking for answers that can’t be found out there, so you go to where you know they are—within—and you re-evaluate yourself and you redefine yourself and you emerge as a new person literally. But if you define the idea of going within that way to look for answers as something antisocial—“something’s wrong with you, you’re not outgoing anymore, you’re withdrawn”—if you start defining that idea in a negative way, even though it’s a natural mechanism, you will start to experience the negative effects of defining it that way, and it turns into depression instead of compression.

So this is similar. This is why we say it is so absolutely crucial to pay attention to how you define things. Listen to your definitions. Really pay attention to what’s going on when you have an experience. Catch yourself. Catch yourself when you label something negatively.

This is different from recognizing simply objectively that somebody may be doing something negative mechanistically speaking. The idea, though, is to catch yourself for not assuming that something is simply automatically negative.

When you have more facility with that, then you will say, “Wait a minute, wait a minute. I don’t have to define this state I’m in now as negative. Let me explore what kind of ideas can I assign to this that are more positive—even if they turn out to be created through negativity. If you assign the idea that they’re there as being positive, then you’ll get some positive benefit out of examining them from that point of view, even if they were created negatively to begin with.”

As we said, just neutralize it and give it a positive meaning so you can get the positive effect. Because remember, you can’t perceive what you’re not the vibration of, so you can’t be inspired as to how the situation could serve you in a positive way if you’re not in a positive state first about it. Okay? If you’re not in a positive relationship with it.

Bashar: All right. So when you find yourself—“All right, I’m pretty comfortable here”—and when you find yourself going, “Oh, something must be wrong. I’m now not doing this. I’m now not doing that. I’m doing something different. Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, what’s wrong with me?"—catch yourself when you start doing that and say, “Wait a minute, this doesn’t have to be labeled like that. Let me see what positive ideas could there be for me now changing my behavior, changing the way I’m doing things, changing the way I see something.” And start inventing positive labels and start applying them, and then you’ll start getting the benefit and you’ll get the perspective that will allow you to tell the difference between something that is really a negative act and something that might just be unexpected—an arrow pointing in an unexpected direction instead of being defined as a brick wall that obstructs you.

Question 14: Teleportation Technology

Audience: Good day. And good day to you. So a little earlier, a gentleman asked a question about your ships, yes, how they travel, and I believe you said that part of the equation is identifying a vibration at a particular point that you wish to locate to.

Bashar: Yes. Our perception of the idea of location is different from your typical one. Most people on your planet assume that location is where an object exists. We understand location is one of the properties of the object itself. In other words, if you have an object here and you move it to here, that’s a different object, okay, because now it has a different locational variable in its energy signature.

So if you have the object in location A and it has that particular locational variable as part of its makeup, if you can isolate it and impose upon it the vibration of location B, then it has to stop existing at location A and start taking up residence at location B instantaneously.

Audience: Okay, great. So the following question then is: is that possible within the confines of the natural laws of the Earth plane? Can we do that here in our physical existence?

Bashar: Yes. In fact, you’re actually doing it all the time.

Audience: How so?

Bashar: Well, as we said, you are shifting through parallel realities billions of times per second. Okay. But you’re just not looking at it that way.

Audience: Okay. Well, let’s break it down to a practical level. We’re in Sedona and I want to go to dinner in New York City tonight. Yes. Is that possible?

Bashar: New York City is right here, along with Sedona, along with Hong Kong.

Audience: Are there specific technologies that need to be developed in order to make that possible, or is it a mind over matter type thing?

Bashar: Well, it’s both, because technology is nothing but an extension of your consciousness, isn’t it? True. So it’s just a matter of what belief system you have and what permission slip you believe you need in order to accomplish something that you’re doing with your consciousness anyway. In a sense, it’s just a permission slip.

So we know that our ships are permission slips. Okay. But the idea is that we maintain them for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is so that we can interact with societies such as yours who need to see ships.

Helplessness and Helping Others

Audience: How do I overcome feelings of helplessness?

Bashar: The idea is not to make fun of it in the negative sense, but to make it a little lighter.

When someone says, “I can’t help,” if there is something you are really truly unable to do, you don’t need to do it. Maybe it’s not your job. Maybe helping is allowing someone to learn something on their own and just providing a loving, safe space in which to do it.

That’s helping. It may seem like there is nothing you can do to help, but just providing a space in which someone can go through an experience of feeling helpless might be the best way to help them come to terms with why they feel that way, why they have created that sensation.

Audience: Well, I’m also thinking of the idea of what about like a child that’s in a family situation where they feel powerless and helpless and they don’t know what to do to get out of it—and yet they should be able to apply these principles in the same way that an adult can in some former fashion.

Bashar: Many children instinctively do. Of course, many children are taught out of instinctively knowing this. And so they have chosen from a higher level to be in a situation where what appears to be certain limitations may be being imposed upon them, primarily for the purpose of ultimately overcoming those limitations and transform them.

So let me give you once again the idea that many of you already know about—the butterfly analogy. There was a person who saw a butterfly struggling to break out of its cocoon, and they thought, “Oh, I’ll help.” And so they opened the cocoon sooner and let the butterfly out. But because they opened the cocoon sooner, they didn’t realize that the butterfly needed the resistance to push against the cocoon so its wings would be strong enough to fly. And by opening the cocoon sooner, the butterfly couldn’t fly. It was just butter.

So sometimes it is very important for someone to have the ability to discern the difference between what they think might be helping and what is truly helping.

Audience: Well, I understand that idea. I’m thinking more about the individual that has actually manifested a situation that they would like to get out of, yes, or they’d like to change the way. But if they’re not attracting someone who can actually help them, then they need to go through that experience. Is that what you would tell a child?

Bashar: They are always capable—always capable of attracting help. They need to be taught that they are self-empowered, and need to be taught that they can always attract what they need. But if they simply refuse to believe it, the only real help you can give them is a safe space to go through the process they are choosing to go through so they can understand how powerful they actually are on their own. That may be one of the reasons. Of course, you have to take this on a case-by-case basis. Different people may be doing this for different reasons, including children. Sometimes children will do that to teach an adult something. You have to look at the actual specifics of each situation to know why that particular individual, adult or child, may have placed themselves in that situation. It could be to illustrate something to someone else. It could be to go through a process for themselves. It could be any number of reasons, but you have to know the specific case to know what’s going on there.

Audience: So I have a nice example that I’m thinking of: what if a child is in a situation where the adults are constantly arguing and so the energy is very heavy and negative around them, and they wish so much that everything would change so that they could feel happy in their situation, and they come to another adult and they say, “I need help. I don’t like this situation I’m experiencing.” Yes. What would be the reason that you could explain to that child about why they’re having that experience, how to handle it—

Bashar: Well, you may have provided the answer yourself in that specific case. Did you hear it when you said it? What—the fact that they went to an adult and asked for the answer to why that is happening? Yes, they were powerful enough to know that they wouldn’t necessarily get the answer from the adults they were living with, so they were powerful enough to know they needed to go to another adult who might actually be able to help. And that means they can help themselves.

Audience: But in the meantime, they might have to wait five or ten years before they can be out of the situation—

Bashar: Specifics of the situation have to be looked at as to what the timing is for any individual.

Audience: And do we communicate to that person that regardless of what’s happening in their family, that they can still feel joy and happiness and they don’t have to take that on themselves?

Bashar: If you teach them that they are self-empowered, then of course. That’s the whole idea of bringing your children up to know they are as powerful as they need to be, so they don’t have to hurt themselves or anyone else in order to feel that power. So this is something our teachers, our relatives can do for a child in a situation like that—share empowering messages with that person, allow them to recognize that it’s not anything wrong with them that they’re in that situation. It doesn’t imply that they’re powerless. It simply means that they will eventually be able to use this experience in a positive way that will strengthen them and improve their life.

Audience: Yes. These are the things that will be taught eventually on your planet to all children at the same time. Using your own colloquialisms, it is an opportunity for someone to gain compassion for the adults that they see that are living their own nightmares—to put it in your own language. It takes a victim to make a victim. So if they can understand that the only reason that their parents would be going through those negative acts is because they themselves were exposed to something similar, then perhaps they will grow to understand how to help others when they are an adult by having had the example set right in front of their face as to what happens when someone is deprived of the understanding of their self-empowerment.

And again, this is why you have to look not only at each case, you have to also look at the long-term issue of the life, because you may not understand it when the person is a child, but it may be very clear why that happened when the person is finally an adult.

Audience: And I can also see where that gives a child an opportunity to really practice the idea of not degrading the self, not choosing to feel helpless regardless of what the circumstances are.

Bashar: Because circumstances don’t matter—only state of being matters. So you could actually become very powerful in a situation like that, even if you are a child feeling helpless. Yes.

And again, remember, the idea of having that experience can also allow you to learn to relate to others also having a similar experience. So if you allow yourself to discover your own power, then maybe you have more ability to also help them discover theirs by having had a similar experience. You speak their language, in other words. It’s one of the reasons why when we make first contact with other civilizations, we choose colloquially speaking to have an incarnation—at least one—in that society. Otherwise we would have nothing to relate to. We would have no idea what you mean when you say, “I’m suffering.” We would just go, “What are you talking about?” So by having the experience, we can relate to you, and thus we can provide something that may help you if you align with it. Of course, it’s still always your choice.

But remember, we also view everyone as a truly eternal, indestructible, infinite being. And the fact that you may be looking at a physical human child doesn’t take away from the fact that at their core, they are an infinite, indestructible, infinite being, and that on some level they know what they’re doing. So you can’t take that away from them either.

Not saying not to help where you can, but if you can’t—as we said, if there is something you can’t do—that may, maybe not always, but for the most part, may be an indication it’s not something you need to do. You may actually be interfering with a process that is required for a variety of things that you can’t even fathom.

And that doesn’t preclude the idea of if someone is being abused or something like that that you don’t take action. No, no. As we said, help where you can. All we’re simply saying is if you can’t, then there may be no need for you to do so. You may actually be interfering with something. But if you can, then by all means, of course you’re there for that reason. Yes. Otherwise you wouldn’t be there. You’d be somewhere else.

Plants, Consciousness, and Pyramids

Audience: As we experience a higher consciousness, are the plants, beneficial fungus, bacteria also rise with us?

Bashar: One moment. We are laughing because you will experience a rise in your consciousness when you align with the higher frequency of the plants. You see? They’re laughing too. Think like a plant.

Audience: Okay. So one of my highest joys is discovering—well, not discovering personally, but coming across bioremediation efforts. All right. And Earth, are you involved in that?

Bashar: I am. All right.

Audience: And so that’s your excitement—one of them.

Bashar: It is one of my excitements. Thank you.

Audience: I’d like to see—yes, you remember what we said about your actions indicate the energies and changes within yourself that shift you to a parallel version of Earth that’s more reflective of the change in you. Yes. All right. Does that answer your question?

Audience: Yes, thank you.

Bashar: Next question. Yes.

Audience: Yes. All right. So the structures of pyramids, yes, have the ability to amplify seeds, correct?

Bashar: Some of them, not all of them. But some of them, if they’re designed for that. Yes.

Audience: What if we had pyramids that had the structure was actual crystal?

Bashar: Yes, and—well, in a sense, it actually is. Rock.

Audience: Rock. Got it.

Bashar: And what if we started incorporating these to radically change our agricultural system?

Bashar: What if you did? Is that an expression of your excitement?

Audience: Yes.

Bashar: Are you acting on it?

Audience: Not yet.

Bashar: Why not?

Audience: Because it sounds silly.

Bashar: It does? Well, maybe not to people here. That might have been a backhanded compliment. Well, really, the only ones to whom it needs not to seem silly are the seeds.

Audience: I see.

Bashar: I see. Here’s the point. When we talk about the idea of something that excites you, please, please remember: it doesn’t mean that the thing that excites you has to come to fruition in the way you imagined, in the way that it appears. But if it excites you, move in that direction and see where it leads. It might lead to exactly where you think, but it might not. It doesn’t really matter, because the point is you’ll be moving in the direction of your excitement. And if moving in the direction of your excitement about the seeds needs to come to fruition, then it will. If it doesn’t, it will lead somewhere else just as exciting. And you will then be the seed that grows. Yes, yes.

So just act on it to the best of your ability with no assumption as to where it should lead, how it should look, how you’re going to get there, when, why, how. These are things the higher mind already knows. Don’t burden the physical mind with things and details that simply weigh it down. Just move, experience, live, act, do, be. Then the higher mind will reveal to you exactly what needed to happen, what those actions will do, what the consequences of the choices of acting on your excitement will be. You don’t need to know all that before you act. Many times, thinking that you need to know all that before you act prevents you from acting. Then nothing gets done.

Exactly because if you think about it too much, just about anything is going to seem silly. Yes, yes. Let me give you an example. We know of a place in the universe where there is this ball floating in space, and these little people are stuck to the surface even as it’s whipping around at a thousand miles an hour. They never seem to spin off. They just go about their business, walking around, blah, blah, thinking nothing of it. And this ball swirling through space is spinning around a giant explosion in space—a giant nuclear furnace in space. And that nuclear furnace, along with the ball and other balls, are whipping through thousands and millions and hundreds of millions of other nuclear furnaces, all rotating through this empty void. Does that sound silly? What kind of a reality is that? Who could survive that? Who could live there? That makes no sense at all. And yet here you are, stuck to your little ball, whipping around, going about your daily business, not feeling a thing. How silly is that?

Audience: Well, when you put it that way—

Bashar: That is exactly our point. When you allow yourself to really design the idea that works for you, there is absolutely no reason to assume that the idea you’ve created that works for you should work any less than an idea that doesn’t align with you. Why assume that all the ideas that don’t align with you are supported by creation, but none of the ones that do align with you would be? How silly is that idea?

Audience: Yes, very silly.

Bashar: All right. You can be good silly. You can be good crazy. Do you understand? That’s okay. Go and be good crazy, and when you are good crazy, you will be crazy good. Yes, yes. So experiment. Play. These are your building blocks. Play with them. See what happens.

Audience: What are some silly things that you do on Essassani?

Bashar: I’m doing one right now—talking to these little people on this swirling ball, asking all these crazy questions. “Hey, look, I’m talking to the—” Oh, you’re crazy. There’s nobody there. Who you talking to? Yourself. Well, yes. And that’s crazy. And yet it’s crazy good.

Audience: Are there lots of people on—well, there’s lots of other civilizations.

Bashar: Well, yes, yes.

Audience: And are they reaching out to other civilizations as well?

Bashar: Not all. Some. Some have their own path that allows them to remain relatively isolated. Some reach out. There are many different kinds of civilizations out here. Some beyond your imagining. You simply have no words. You simply have no context for some of them. But many of them you would eventually.

You’re going to be in our position. You’re going to find a world. You’re going to become their UFOs. You’re going to cause them to say, “I just saw something streak across the sky,” and the others will go, “You’re crazy.” But actually, no, they won’t, because the first world that you will do that with has already been chosen. And you will be those eventually—in your society, in years to come—who will be guiding them to the stars, as we are guiding you.

I am a first contact specialist. This is what gives us joy. But we do many things on our world, and there are many things being done in many other worlds.

Audience: Yes, yes.

Bashar: Is there something specific you wish to know about that are—?

Audience: So here on this planet, and from what my Earth brain, human brain is comprehending, we’re trying to reach a higher vibration.

Bashar: You are reaching a higher vibration. We are. If you weren’t, we wouldn’t be having this conversation, because we don’t do pointless things. So if there was no point in talking to you because you’re never going to reach the vibration that is at least somewhat comparable to us, we wouldn’t be spending our time doing this. But this is an indication in and of itself that you’re expanding, is it not?

Audience: Mhm.

Bashar: You do realize you’re speaking to an extraterrestrial entity through a biological telephone?

Audience: Yes, yes. Another crazy thing. Yet you’re doing it. The price is right. All right. And the price is that the experience is priceless.

Question 17: Relationships and Changing Themes

Audience: Was a lot of fun to experience. The minute I really wanted to ask a question because it’s related to the voices that you were introducing earlier, yeah, today. In the minute I gave up—“I’m not getting there, fine, you know”—but I really gave up, my name was called, so it was fun to experience that.

Bashar: Yes. Thank you.

Audience: All right. So the question is: I would like to ask your personal question—I feel I pretty much know for a fact that my personal exploration, my theme of exploration, is relationships. Right.

Bashar: All right.

Audience: And I’m confirming it with you.

Bashar: Thank you. Okay.

Audience: All right. And it’s one of them—it’s one, right? Okay. Probably the main one. So for now, for now, right. What I experienced in April earlier this year: I was on the ocean, the sun was rising, and I had this—I call it like an ecstatic experience—when I felt I was completely gutted, regarded or whatever, and I felt something was evolving in me. And then my insight later came in—I felt like I’m receiving a new theme of exploration.

Bashar: Oh, yes. That happens. Okay.

Audience: And I feel like I’m almost like I’m in the between two chairs—the old thing is almost wrapping itself up, and I feel freaking stuck in it. Stuck in the old.

Bashar: Stuck in it in the old. Yes. In this old—I know it’s supposed to be already done, but I’m kind of like, why is it supposed to be already done?

Audience: Because I feel like I have only pieces for me to be, to know what I need to know, and I probably already know on some level, but I’m not willing to see that.

Bashar: Then you don’t have all the pieces. Okay.

Audience: So I want to get back to the voices. Yes. So it’s really been my last six months that I was heavily experimenting with voices—maybe I’ll rephrase it—becoming more and more aware of the quality of the voices, where they’re coming from. I was realizing that the critical voice was coming from certain—you know, from the lower right part. I mean, I started to differentiate. And the higher voice was always coming from the left higher.

Bashar: All right. You know, like it’s my experience. And then I started experiencing those different layers. Yes. And so my biggest thing, my biggest question, my burning question that I would love your clarification and guidance in—

Bashar: All right.

Audience: I asked for an answer and I received a synchronistic manifestation. That’s an answer. Yes. And so I’m like, okay, that’s cool. And then I would go in a place of highest spirituality, highest ecstatic excitement, and I’ll get a whole other confirmation of that synchronistic experience. Yes. And then it happened like almost like four or five months ago, and I feel like on the spiritual level all of those things happened, but on my physical level I’m experiencing the opposite of it. And what happens to me—and that’s my probably brain question—when I align with that higher vibration, and the manifest—you know, aligning with the higher vibration then gives you the ability to deal with what’s going on on the physical level.

Bashar: Right. And allow yourself to not create so much separation in definition between the physical and the spiritual, because the physical is very spiritual. Right.

Audience: So right, so right. So what’s happening to me when I kind of like align myself with this one solution—the other part of me completely rejects and blocks and sabotages that. And when I align with this, the opposite of it, then the other part—

Bashar: Can you be more specific instead of general?

Audience: All right. Yes. Okay. Sorry, sorry.

Bashar: Well, if you need to do that, go ahead. Okay.

Audience: Well, I’m a linguist, so I think I’m allowed in the situation. Okay. So it’s a relationship stuff, right?

Bashar: Yes.

Audience: So we broke up. Yes. And then I started getting this feeling that we’re not done and we’re going to be creating another relationship. So I asked for a sign. Yes. And on the very same day—I haven’t seen the person for months—the person, we see each other. Yes. And I’m like, okay, well, to me that was the answer: we’re not done, we’re going to be possibly having—

Bashar: Stop. Thank you. God. Thank you. All right.

Even if you never see another person physically in your life ever again, you’re never done. Relationships are for the purpose of every person in the relationship, either by their presence or even by their absence, reflecting to the other people in the relationship what they need to know to allow them to become more of who they are. So whatever dance you do to create either physical proximity or the absence thereof is not really the issue. It’s what do you get out of examining the experience? What does it put you in touch with within yourself that you may have needed to see that you may have otherwise not seen unless you created that reflection in that particular way? That’s the point of the relationship, regardless of whatever form it may take. Does that make sense?

Audience: Yes, theoretically. Theoretically understand it, but there’s a part of me that is really willing, able, and ready to know what is going to happen to this relationship in the physical realm.

Bashar: What if I told you you never will know until it happens? Would that be all right? I’m asking this for a very specific reason.

Audience: Ask me one more time. Would it be all right if you never actually knew what was going to happen with this relationship until it happened?

Bashar: Well, then I would say that it’s exactly how I feel—where I need to be.

Audience: Well, then do you believe that?

Bashar: The hesitation usually means no.

Audience: No. All right. Until you do, this will be confusing for you.

Bashar: I need your help getting past this confusion.

Audience: You just got past it but didn’t even see it. Okay. So help me.

Bashar: You have to be okay with not knowing how this is going to go. Okay. You must trust the way things unfold in your life. Everything that happens is happening for your reasons, even if you can’t intellectually fathom them at the moment. The only thing you need to do is when something does happen—including in relationships—is know that it is there for the purpose of reflecting to you more of what you need to know to be more of yourself. So whatever happens, give it a positive meaning, and you will extract a positive and beneficial effect from it, no matter what the circumstance actually is. And then ultimately you will know why it happened that way. But you may not know before it happens the way it happens.

Audience: How would I get to that point? How do I get that piece of myself that we going to get okay with that?

Bashar: Because you are the one that creates peace within yourself. No one else can determine that. If you are determining your peace based on the actions of others, you will never be at peace. Ever. You have to simply decide—this is what’s required from you: a decision. A decision that you will be the state you prefer to be, regardless of anything else going on around you.

Remember, true change—the measure of true change within you—is not whether the outside world changes to reflect it, but that you respond differently to what’s going on even if it stays the same. That’s the measure of true change. Because if you’ve truly changed and you’re truly the one determining your state of being, you don’t care what’s going on. You don’t care who comes and goes. It doesn’t matter. You can use everything to your benefit and reflect everything back that they could use to their benefit if they choose to. But it doesn’t matter whether they do or not, because you know you can use everything that happens to your benefit, because you are the only arbiter of your state of being, and you’re not basing your state of being on what’s happening outside of you. You are simply making a decision that your state of being is the state of being you prefer, and you are simply giving yourself no other choice.

Audience: And I get that, but I got the answer. So I just want to say this to you: what I was really looking for—by all means—so I guess where I was not okay is the voices—going back to the earlier conversation that you shared with us, the transmission. So I guess the peace was not coming from me wanting to really know which one of my voices are the true voices.

Bashar: They’re all true voices. Even the ones that lie to you. You just have to decide what you want to pay attention to.

Audience: Right. And it’s the discernment, yes, of those voices.

Bashar: And even simpler than discernment: just make a decision as to what you prefer and what you don’t, without invalidating what you don’t. It’s that simple. Keep it simple. Choose what you prefer without invalidating what you don’t prefer. Keep it simple, and you won’t be confused by anything that happens. You will be empowered to use everything in the most empowering way you can, no matter how it looks, no matter how it comes, no matter who’s involved—doesn’t matter. Because the circumstance doesn’t matter—only your state of being matters.

Circumstance does not determine state of being. You may generate a circumstance to reflect a state of being, even magnify, amplify, and reinforce it, but the circumstance was created by a state of being first. State of being always comes first. There can be no circumstance without it. So when you see a circumstance, decide what your state of being is that you prefer, and that will be the way the circumstance is experienced in your life through that state of being.

Audience: Yes. So what a piece that I got—that you know, my first answer that I thought I got was the answer that once I align with myself and stay in that state of being, then when something happens, whatever way it happens, then I will know which voice was correct and not correct. But what I finally heard you say—which is really cool, yes—is that what you were actually saying to me that I was asking about is to make the decision right now, and that can be something else, and the decision is up to me.

Bashar: It is absolutely up to you. Who else is in your reality but you?

Audience: Yeah, no one.

Bashar: Yeah. So have to process that, but that was great.

The Illusion of Outside and Suffering

Audience: Good day, Bashar. And are you. Good day.

Bashar: All right. It’s been great, especially great in the past.

Audience: Oh, in the past? So, so, so now it’s been accelerating because I’ve been putting a positive spin on it.

Bashar: All right. Thank you for using the tool.

Audience: For sure. I was thinking the other night when you were saying, “You are All-That-Is and there’s nothing outside”—yes, All-That-Is. Does that mean that leads me to see—think—either distance is an illusion?

Bashar: Ah. There is no outside. No outside. It doesn’t keep going farther and farther and farther and farther forever. In the illusion it does, but it’s just an illusion. Everything is here and now. There is nowhere else.

Audience: I felt like someone showed me that when I was really young, like five years old, in a dream.

Bashar: Most children are aware of these things, and then they are taught out of them or forget them for a variety of reasons. So it is an illusion. Yes. But that doesn’t mean the experience isn’t real. Understood.

Audience: Another thing I was thinking of that we were talking about—well, like for now, for instance, things are going wonderful in my life. Yes. Accelerating all that.

Bashar: In the past. Not one moment. Sure. One moment. Sure. Just to point out, just to be precise—not saying you’re saying this, okay—but just to be precise and take advantage of what you just said: when you say, “For right now things are going wonderful in my life,” right, to many people when they hear that sentence structure and they feel the tonality in it, it implies that they could go otherwise. There is no otherwise. That’s our point. Right now things are wonderful. Right now things are wonderful. Right now things are wonderful, and it can never be otherwise. So thank you.

Audience: If it could never be otherwise, yes. If I thought—if the past is an illusion and the past didn’t seem so hot, so to speak—is there some parallel version of me that is doing great, and then there is a constant parallel version of me doing not so great? Or is it only—

Bashar: Yes, yes, yes. Everything you can imagine is there.

Audience: Always a constant person suffering? Yes.

Bashar: That’s not good. Why not? Well, for that person who’s suffering—

Audience: Let me ask you a question. Okay. Taking the illusion of the void of space, okay, yes, yes. How is it that when you look up at the night sky, that you can actually see the stars?

Audience: I don’t understand.

Bashar: I know you don’t. You can look up at the night sky and see the stars because darkness surrounds them. Them. Ah. Well, that’s great. All right. Without the darkness, there is no sense of light.

Understood. Now, the idea, of course, again is that to All-That-Is, all things are equal, and what you may call suffering from one level is not necessarily experienced that way on every level. Okay. Nevertheless, it exists as an experience, and it’s valid as an experience if for no other reason that you realize it’s not an experience you prefer. But in order for you to realize that, you have to have the experience. Yes. Understood. Yes. And then that gives you the opportunity to choose what you prefer without invalidating what you don’t prefer. And by not invalidating what you don’t prefer, you actually take the wind out of suffering.

Audience: Oh, that sounds great. Makes sense. Yes.

Bashar: For sure.

Audience: Last statement: so the real you—are you speaking of us personally, of everybody? The real you, the All-That-Is.

Bashar: The All-That-Is. Yes. Everybody is the All-That-Is. Yes, yes.

Audience: So the All-That-Is is not, so to speak, alone or lonely.

Bashar: All that is—no, because it’s everybody. And it is also alone and lonely because it’s All-That-Is. Remember, it’s this and that, not this or that. This and that.

Closing: Holotope Meditation

Relax and breathe evenly and deeply, and keep your eyes focused on the center of the holotope. You may allow your lights to begin. You may allow your experience to begin, and just allow yourself to drift into the sights and sounds that will accompany this particular journey that we will take together this day of your time.

Allow yourselves to realize as you begin to relax and allow your sight and sounds to begin that you can allow yourself to let go. Let go for the moment. Let go of the day. Let go of the night. Just be here with us now in this place of in-between.

Breathing deeply, deeply, gently, softly. Feeling your body relax. Your limbs relax. Your neck relax. Your jaw relax. And all the tension that may be there melting away, drifting away. As you feel yourself floating in an infinite void of infinite possibilities. Just float and breathe and gaze upon the eye of creation in the reflective mirror before you. For you are looking upon yourself—the greater being that you are. Breathe it in and relax and absorb and absorb.

And know that just as depicted by the image in your eyes, you are made of infinite perspectives, infinite ideas, infinite inspirations—an infinite chorus of voices, of resonance, of song—all orchestrated, all harmonizing, all delivering the information that you need, that you require at any given moment in sight and sound and feeling and tone.

Allow yourself with every breath to inhale knowledge and exhale experience. The voices as they may come up every day in every way—allow yourself to know them, to recognize them, to speak to them, but to know their place within you.

Though there may be those voices that arise from time to time that may criticize, that may seduce, know that there will always be choice in your ability to listen to the voices that set your heart free, that set your soul alight, that raise your spirit on high. For there will always be those voices too. They never leave you. They are eternal. They are infinite. They are all together the chorus that is the voice of All-That-Is in all of its harmonies, in all of its melodies, in all of its frequencies.

The voice is always speaking to you. In the beginning was the word, and the word is God, is All-That-Is, is knowingness, is the certainty of who and what you truly are as a perspective of the infinite, as an aspect of creation, as a facet of the multi-dimensional crystal of All-That-Is.

Listen to the voices of reason within you. Listen to the voices of guidance. Listen to the voice of inspiration. Listen to the voice of creation. Listen to the voice of unconditional love. Listen to the voice of joy. Listen to the voice of passion. Listen to the voice of beingness. For all of these voices are your voices. And with these voices, you weave the story of your life—your experience, your journey.

You are the storyteller, the ultimate voice of experience, the ultimate authority of your life, the knower of the way, the higher mind inviting you into more of yourself. Accept the invitation delivered by that voice, for in that voice is the promise of discovery, is the promise of expansion, is the promise of awakening, is the promise of the dream, is the promise of life itself, is the promise of existence itself, is the promise of All-That-Is—that you are never alone and yet you are all one.

This is the story of your life told by the voices within. Tell that story—the story that you prefer, the story that you cherish, the story that enlightens you and allows you to float freely, at ease, at peace. Tell yourself the story with the voice of peace, the voice of love, the voice of life.

You are all perspectives that you can possibly be. Let in all of the voices that ring true to you, for they are all mirrors reflecting the light of your inner spark of consciousness, of your spirit.

Be at peace. Take a deep breath in and let it out. Take a deep breath in and let it out. Take a deep breath in and hold it—and hold it—and hold it—and blow it out as the voice of the wind that clears away all of the old and makes way for the new.

The crystal clarion call—the bell that rings true—light in life, love in live. Just be you. It’s all you need to be. The simple voice of your own truth—of who you truly are. Be that you as best as you can, for that is all you need to do. That is all you need to do. That is all you need to do.

Drift freely now upon an infinite sea of stars and feel their light upon you and hear their voices—the songs of the spheres of infinite creation ringing in your ears, lulling you to sleep, to dream, and to awaken in a new reality with a new voice that speaks clear and true and is never afraid to speak of who you are—to let others see and know and hear who you are, so they too can receive from you that gift of clarity for themselves, so they may also speak with their true voice.

And you are—even as two voices—simply one voice echoing to itself the truth over and over: that you are All-That-Is, All-That-Is, and there is no other. For what others you may find and what other voices you may hear, they are but the one voice from different directions—guiding you, framing you, centering you, being you in all the ways you can be.

Speak with the voice of grace. Speak with the voice of gratitude. Speak with the voice of appreciation. Speak with the voice that is your voice—unique and beautiful and crystal clear. Breathe it in now once again and make it your own. For it always has been, is now, and always shall be your own voice that you will always hear, for it is the voice of All-That-Is.

Relax now in peace and be free to be who you know you are. For there is no other voice leading you anywhere but your own—in all the forms in which it may come. Recognize it as your own through all the filters it may issue. Recognize it as your own through all the songs it may sing and all the stories that voice may tell.

Recognize yourself as the storyteller. Recognize yourself as the voice. Be that voice for others as you are that voice for yourself, so that others may hear their own voice.
