How to Truly Be Alive
Participant: How can I truly be alive?
Bashar: What do you mean truly? You mean live to your fullest potential?
Participant: Yes.
Bashar: By acting on your highest excitement every moment that you can. At any given moment, a number of options are available to you of things that you could possibly act on. All you have to do is keep choosing the one that contains more excitement, more passion than any other act. Act on it to the best of your ability, taking it as far as you can, so you can take it no further, with absolutely zero insistence on exactly how the outcome should happen.
That’s the whole formula. When you act on anything that contains more excitement than something else, you are actually aligning with the energy of your true natural self. That’s how your physical body interprets the energy of your true being—as excitement, passion, love, creativity. That’s what that feeling is. It’s that resonant energy that is your true core being.
So anytime you act on anything that contains more of it than anything else, you are making a commitment to align with that energy. And when you do that with no insistence on what the outcome should look like, you open up the complete kit of excitement and all the tools in it that can serve you.
Those tools are:
- It supports you in any way you need to be supported
- It acts as the driving engine that moves you through life
- It acts as the organizing principle that brings the synchronous events in your life that you need at exactly the right time in exactly the right order
- It is the path of least resistance that allows you to experience the flow of life in an effortless way
- It is the path that connects you to any other expression of excitement
- It is the reflective mirror that reveals to you anything within your unconscious mind that might be out of alignment with that excitement, so you can identify it, integrate it, and bring that energy back into alignment
So the formula of acting on your excitement to the best of your ability with no insistence on the outcome is what will allow the kit to work. And that’s the formula, and that’s all you need to do to live your life to the fullest, which is the only purpose and mission that you actually have in life.
Healing Through Crystals
Participant: For several years, I had pain in my hip. And then the past few months, I had pain in my elbow. Last night I purchased one of your contact crystals. Acting on my highest excitement, I went home and did the meditation, and in the morning when I woke up, I had no pain anywhere in my body.
Bashar: Because pain is resistance to the natural self. When you stop resisting the natural self, energy flows. There is no blockage, there is no resistance, and there is no pain.
Participant: I meditate, I use all kinds of crystals, and still that pain was persistent.
Bashar: You found the permission slip that aligned most strongly with your own belief system that allowed you to finally give yourself permission to be more of who you are. We are happy to have been in some way a part of the idea of reflecting to you your own power. But you did it, not the crystal. It’s just that the crystal somehow aligns more accurately with your belief system where you finally allowed yourself to believe that it was okay to give yourself permission to let the resistance go.
Participant: Is there anything else that you can tell me about the crystal? Does it need to ever be recharged, or do I do the meditation again for any reason?
Bashar: You do understand our definition of permission slips?
Participant: Yes, I do.
Bashar: Then why are you asking a question that you can answer? You understand that it is in essence a kind of a vote for contact, yes? Remember that the first contact you need to have is with more of yourself.
Bashar: When you align with yourself, the idea of pain will vanish because there is no more resistance. Conversely, because things are amplifying, because things are accelerating, energetic or definitional misalignment in your energy will start to be experienced by more and more people on your planet almost immediately as a physiological pain and a physical representation of the misalignment.
It’s getting to the point where you can no longer ignore or bury the idea of energetic misalignments because they will now begin, as things accelerate, to actually show themselves in your body almost immediately. When you expose yourself to higher energies that cannot flow through you because there may be misalignment in your energy, it will push anything in your body, your physical body, that has an energetic weakness in it into misalignment to show you that the definitions and energy within you are misaligned.
Don’t be afraid of this. Just pay attention if this happens and recognize that it may seem very strange that you’re standing still one moment doing nothing, and suddenly something may go out of joint for no reason.
When you start moving in the direction of higher excitement or start exposing yourself to beings that have a higher frequency than you do, anything within you that is misaligned will start to show itself now more physically and concretely because things are coalescing, things are accelerating. This is the day and age you asked for. This is the result. This is one of the symptoms—that anything that’s misaligned will start to actually manifest in physical reality far faster. So get aligned. Get aligned.
Question 9: Following the Path of Greatest Excitement
Participant: For me, this is a point of confusion about following the path of greatest excitement. I wanted to know which path would be mine or anybody else’s path of greatest excitement if I could change my mindset about my current circumstance to make it more exciting.
Bashar: Again, this is always what we advise—make sure that when you are examining your choices that something that may not seem exciting actually might be. If you examine that, you may be the one coloring it to make it seem like it’s not. So it’s always wise to take a moment and make sure you’re not making your excitement seem like something less than your excitement.
If you recognize you’re doing that and find out why you would color it that way to make it seem less exciting than it could be, then you will recognize by recognizing it might be your excitement and how you’re coloring it, whether or not it is exciting enough at that moment for you to take action on more than anything else. You’ll bring it to the forefront and have a true comparison with anything else that excites you, and then you can decide between them which excites you more, and/or which you actually have more capability of taking some action on without any assumption of the outcome.
Remember please that the things that excite you don’t always excite you because that thing has to come to fruition. Your excitement will know that sometimes there might be resistances within you, and so it might choose something to excite you with that it knows you’ll actually respond to. It doesn’t mean that thing that excites you has to come to fruition. It may just have been necessary to excite you that way to get you to move forward, to get you off your butt, and then the real thing that excites you—now that you’re moving—will show up.
But you wouldn’t have seen that thing if you hadn’t moved from A to B first. And the other thing that excited you may have only been for the purpose of getting you to move from A to B so that you could see C. Make sense?
So always examine to make sure that if you find yourself resistant to something that’s in your life, if it really is just a recognition that it’s not what you prefer, or whether you’re coloring it to make it seem so because of something you fear. Once you’ve cleared that up, then you will simply see what your choices are that excite you, and you can act on the one that’s either most exciting or the one you have the greatest capability of doing something about. And that’s all there is to it. It’s that simple.
Question 10: Remembering Information
Participant: I also wanted to know why it’s hard for me to remember exactly what was discussed in full. You know, it’s like…
Bashar: Because you don’t understand it yet.
Participant: How come?
Bashar: Because you’re not using it fully yet. When you actually understand the nature and structure of existence, then you will know what you need to know when you need to know it. It won’t be an issue of remembering. You don’t need to remember. You just need to know that you will know what you need to know when you need to know it.
That’s it. You’re trying to remember. Stop trying to remember. Just know that you will know what you need to know when you need to know it. And then you’ll remember, so to speak.
But because you don’t understand that mechanism yet, you’re having difficulty because you’re trying to do something you don’t really need to do. You just need to apply. You just need to use. Remember that what you know to be true, you just do. It’s in your behavior. You don’t question it, you don’t think about it, it’s just part of you. It’s just who you are.
So you need to make this your own. You really need to have an understanding of the nature of the structure of existence and how the machine works, so to speak. And when you have that, you’ll know that it’s not an issue of remembering—it’s just an issue of knowing.
And wherever you find yourself, in whatever state you find yourself or create for yourself, the things you need to know that are relevant to that state are the things you will know in that state. The things you don’t know in that state are not things you need to know, or can’t know from that state. Change your state, you change what you know. Make sense?
Question 11: Valiant Thor
Participant: Is Valiant Thor from Venus, as described by Dr. Frank Strange, a real alien that made human contact?
Bashar: We’re not going to talk too much about that. But let us just say again—the idea of Venus in your solar system in your dimensional plane is not a place that is inhabited, but in other dimensions it is.
Okay. Therefore, when someone says “from Venus,” they don’t actually mean from the sauna planet in your solar system. They mean from another dimension. And the way in which they present is a matter of what you need to see to understand in your terms something of what they are. But that being is far different and far more than you think. It’s only projecting what you need to see to understand it to the degree you need to understand it.
Question 12: Financial Struggle Following Excitement
Participant: Earlier you talked about following your highest excitement. In my experience for me, I left behind a secure and prestigious corporate job to follow my highest excitement. Then it wasn’t that secure if it wasn’t your excitement, even though you may have been trained to think it was right. One of my experiences in following this path has been just experiencing severe financial struggle in a way that I’ve never experienced before.
Bashar: Before you continue—you do remember, although again this is always your choice, maybe this is the process you believed you needed. That’s up to you. But as we always remind all of you, please do take the time to honor your belief system.
Because if you really, really believe and can’t let go of the belief that you need that kind of a job in order to be supported in life, it is not wise to jump off the cliff if you don’t know you have a parachute. But if you believe that the fall will actually allow you to learn faster how to knit a parachute on the way down, then that’s all right as a choice.
But please do not deprive yourself or force yourself into a situation that you don’t actually believe you’re ready to handle. You can work on your excitement a bit at a time at whatever pace you’re comfortable with.
Nevertheless, if you believe that the idea of simply jumping into ice water will allow you immediately to do what you need to do, then that’s okay too if you can use it that way. But you have to be honest with whether you really believe that this particular methodology will work for you.
Participant: I don’t think I knew I had that belief until I jumped.
Bashar: All right, well there you go. So it’s revealing things to you now. Of course, you actually do have the capacity to completely turn this around if you stop struggling with definitions of abundance that are out of alignment with what you prefer.
Do you remember our definition of abundance?
Participant: No. Would you like us to repeat it?
Bashar: Yes.
Bashar: Abundance—the ability to do what you need to do when you need to do it. Period. Notice I didn’t say anything about finances, right? I am not denying that money is one of the ways that abundance can be represented on your planet. That’s fine. But the idea is that if you expand your definition of abundance to all of the forms that could allow you to do what you need to do when you need to do it, then when money needs to be the one that is the path of least resistance, money is the way it will show up.
But sometimes money isn’t the path of least resistance. And insisting that that’s the only way that you’re going to be able to be supported in this situation or that circumstance—that you have all of these assumptions about because society has told you it can’t be done any other way—then you will deprive yourself and close the doors to all the other ways that abundance could actually flow to you that might actually be the path of least resistance and allow you to be supported much more effortlessly.
For example, someone may be saying: “Well, I’m struggling saving enough money to buy my dream house, and no matter how much I struggle, I just can’t seem to save enough money to get that dream house.” All right. Well, maybe the struggle is telling you that that’s not the path of least resistance.
By continuing to act on your highest excitement, knowing that the thread of excitement is connected to all other expressions of your excitement, if you would only follow it, then maybe by just going: “All right, I’ll give it a shot. I will just now put that aside, stop struggling, and I will just look around and say all right, what’s the next exciting thing? What is the most exciting thing I could do out of the options available to me right now?”
“Well, actually, it’s going to lunch with a friend now. How does this have anything at all to do with saving up enough money to buy that house? I don’t know, but I have to trust that excitement will lead me there because it’s all connected. And if that house or a house truly excites me, if it’s truly a representation of my highest excitement, it’s got to be included in this entire formula somehow, somewhere.”
But by actually moving away from that specific focus and following where excitement is actually doing this, then you’re paying attention to how it’s going to get you there in an easier way than you think. Because now you are not going with the ego, you’re going with the higher mind that says: “Come here, come here, I’ll show you the path. It’s very simple.”
So you say: “All right, going to lunch with a friend is the most exciting thing.” And off you go. And while you’re sitting in that restaurant chatting with your friend and enjoying your meal, the couple at the next table says: “Gosh, we’re going on this five-year vacation. I wish we could find someone to sit with our house and keep it safe. And if they would just do that, we would let them stay there for free. But gosh, we just can’t find anyone.”
And you turn around and go: “Well, where’s your house? I overheard you, excuse me, but where’s your house?” “Well, it’s this house up there on that hill.” “What? My dream house! You live there?” “Why yes. Would you like to house-sit it for us?”
Thank you. Now you’re in the house and you didn’t spend a dime. And in fact, maybe they pay you to stay in the house.
If you think this kind of thing is some sort of an extreme example, it’s not. These are the things that happen all the time in synchronicity when you go with the flow. Your life becomes a magical explosion of ridiculous proportions.
Do you understand? Because being given something, being given an opportunity to do something, is every bit as much a representation of abundance as money is. So don’t close the doors to all the forms in which abundance can come by insisting that only one will take you where you need to go. Let the path of least resistance show you what form the abundance actually needs to come in.
Question 13: Astral Travel
Participant: I’ve been leaving my body a lot. Where do you go? I only remember as far as leaving my body and hovering over it. Then sometimes I know one time there was a being that was trying to talk to me. Another time I just shot up into space, and that’s all I remember. My question is, why not have a destination in mind?
Bashar: Let me ask you a question if I may. When you go and buy a ticket to travel somewhere and you get on the airplane, do you just go to the airport and say: “Oh, take me anywhere, I don’t know where I’m going to wind up?”
Participant: Well, I mean you usually have a specific destination in mind, yes.
Bashar: Right. So where do I go currently? You’re experiencing the idea from your point of view in a directionless way. Why not figure out where you want to go before you start traveling? Then you’ll know where to wind up.
Participant: How do I figure out where I want?
Bashar: What do you mean how do you figure it out? Where would you like to go? You don’t have any idea of the places you can visit when you’re out of your body?
Participant: Other realms.
Bashar: What does that mean to you? You want a specific target? Come to our planet—Essassani—in a parallel reality about 500 light-years in the direction of the Orion belt.
Have you looked at the Orion belt in your winter sky? Well, why not go look at it? You know, Orion the constellation? You’re familiar with the belt—the three stars of the belt? Well, get familiar. This is you making your travel plans.
So get familiar with the constellation, but understand that you’re going to go into a different dimension where our reality exists—that’s every bit as solid to us as yours is to you. But because it’s in a parallel reality, we’re invisible to you until you make the shift into our frequency.
You’re familiar with us and we’ve given you our quote-unquote phone number of the black equilateral triangle against the black background, but the black triangle is separated from the black background by a deep blue light peeking out from around the edges. Use that and your familiarity with our vibration to guide you when you’re astrally traveling. Say: “I’m going to Essassani. Head for the Orion belt,” knowing what we feel like in this interaction, remembering this interaction in our energy, picturing the equilateral black triangle with the blue light emanating from behind it against the black background, and then go.
Question 14: Beings Trying to Contact in Sleep
Participant: There’s also been instances where beings have tried to contact me in my sleep. I was wondering who they are.
Bashar: Sometimes they are guides. Sometimes they are the beings you call the Grays. Sometimes they’re something else. We’re not going to go into that right now for you. But right now, just plan your trip. Get educated as to where you’re going, lay it all out, and bon voyage.
Question 15: Bubble Realities
Participant: I’ve heard you talk about bubble realities and split realities and shifting to parallel realities. Would you be able to expand on how we as a group create bubble realities?
Bashar: You do it by agreement. In other words, to put it colloquially, it’s like saying that you have invited someone to play the game of chess. Well, if you’re going to play the game of chess, then you need a board of a specific design that is a chess board. So you agree to lay out the foundation. You need pieces that are shaped a certain way, so you agree to use those pieces with someone else. You say: “Well, these pieces have to have certain abilities.” And you agree on the rules that you will use to play this game, and they are the chess rules. And so you know that you’re playing by the same rules by agreement. And then you create the material, create the pieces, put them on the board, sit down, and now that you know all that, you begin to play.
It’s a similar idea. You do this idea by creating a consensus reality, and you lay out the playing board and you lay out the rules and you say: “Well, this is what we’re generally going to abide by in order to have this experience of playing this game with each other.” It’s done on a higher level. It’s done on the spirit level and through what we call the template level—vibrational border between physical and non-physical reality experience.
Question 16: Coherence
Participant: There’s a term from the HeartMath Institute called coherence—the coherence of the mind and the heart. I was wondering if you could expand on that.
Bashar: It’s simply alignment. It’s simply resonating together. It’s really the idea that you’re experiencing right now in the fact that we can communicate through a biological entity on your planet because the channel has been trained to have the kind of brainwave coherence necessary that functions like a tuning fork that is tuned to our vibration.
So that when we have thoughts, if the channel operates on a similar wavelength, then the channel has similar thoughts at the same time, therefore is able to translate our thoughts by linking and having coherence and alignment with our thoughts. Because our thoughts exist on a certain frequency level, by matching that level you have the same thoughts at the same time. This is how telepathy and channeling work.
Question 17: Dream of Grays and Overseer
Participant: A week ago I had a dream that I was visited by two or three Grays, and I was suspended and they were kind of manipulating my body in a familiar setting. I wasn’t scared, but there was a point where they used some kind of tool and injected something into my hand and my head, and then they all stopped and looked almost startled and kind of ran away into the door of the light. It was almost like another entity came in the room. Was that what that was?
Bashar: An overseer. Yes. To make sure that the slight miscalculation of the adjustment they had made could be readjusted. Okay. In altering the energy patterns of your genetic matrix to allow you to be more capable of fulfilling your part of the bargain and the agreement that you have made to participate in the hybridization agenda.
Participant: Is there anything you can expand on my contract?
Bashar: Nope.
Crossroads and Career Change
Participant: I’m going through a crossroads in life. I’ve been told that I’m not going to be employed any longer by my employer.
Bashar: How exciting! So you have utilized your environment to push you in a direction that you actually prefer to go in but weren’t necessarily willing to take action on. And so you did it remotely by using the others around you to create circumstances that would force you in that direction. How clever of you.
Participant: Coincidentally enough, I’ve tried to start my own business, but it’s hard to make it take off.
Bashar: If you say so. Why do you believe that this is difficult? Because remember, there’s no such thing as an inherently difficult situation. It only appears difficult because of your definition of your relationship to it. So why are you imagining this to be difficult?
Participant: Maybe I’m afraid of losing my job and the safety.
Bashar: But you’re going to lose your job. Yes. So if it’s inevitable, why be afraid? If you are more excited about moving in the direction of creating your own business, why are you not allowing that excitement to be paramount over the idea of the fear of losing something you don’t prefer? Doesn’t it sound a little illogical when you put it that way?
Participant: Yes.
Bashar: Well, why are you being so illogical? A negative belief system. What are you afraid of? Remember, that’s another way to find the definition. You can ask: “What would I have to believe is true about myself in the situation in order to feel what I feel?” And you can ask: “If I actually did move in the direction of what really excites me, what I really prefer, what am I terrified will happen?” That will also reveal the answer to you if you’re willing to hear the answer.
Participant: Financial struggle.
Bashar: Financial struggle. Yeah. Well, what’s so bad about that? It’s just an idea, you know.
Participant: We need money to survive in our society.
Bashar: Society says you sometimes may, sometimes you may not. As we have already explained, we understand it’s a valid representation in your society of abundance and exchange, but it’s not the only one. So why are you limiting the ways in which your business could be supported by insisting that it can only be supported by one form of abundance and closing the door on all the other forms of synchronicity and abundance that could be coming to you to let you know you can move forward?
Why would you do that? Why would you hamstring your own business with such a limited perspective?
Participant: I don’t know.
Bashar: Sure you do. It’s because that’s what you’ve been taught and that’s what you’re buying into. And this is what this transmission is all about—buying into those negative beliefs that have been capable of convincing you to suspend your disbelief about your worth. So you’re buying the product that they’re selling. They’re running a business too, and you’re buying up all their products. “Oh yes, that negative belief looks great, I’ll take three of those and two of those. Oh yes, thank you. Oh wait a minute, wait a minute, this one’s on sale! Running a special on this negative belief! Don’t forget, take that too. Here, I’ll get you another bag. That’ll really weigh you down.”
So stop buying things that you don’t need from another business, and you will have what you need for your business if you believe that.
Participant: I believe it.
Bashar: All right, then act like you believe it. Know that it’s true. Show it in your behavior. If you really know that to be true, and if for some reason along the way you suddenly find that you are going into doubt about that, well that’s fine because remember acting on your excitement acts as a reflective mirror to reveal to you where you still may be out of alignment, and therefore that’s an opportunity to recognize it, identify it consciously, deal with it, integrate it, bring that energy back into alignment.
So discovering negative ideas on the path of excitement is one of the functions of the path of excitement, not an impediment in it. Don’t define it as an obstacle. Don’t define it as an interruption. It’s part of the path of your excitement to find and discover things that are not part of the path of your excitement. It’s doing its job by revealing them to you so you can deal with them and bring it back into alignment and expand your excitement and see how it works for you on the positive side as opposed to letting it work on the negative side.
What is it you are excited about doing?
Participant: I think the business is one step in the… a business of what? What’s the business?
Bashar: What’s the excitement?
Participant: The excitement is I always tried to start a business.
Bashar: One moment. Doesn’t he sound completely excited?
Participant: Well, I’ve always tried to start…
Bashar: Where’s your passion in this? Are you sure this is really exciting to you?
Participant: It’s probably not the most exciting thing.
Bashar: Well, what would be the most exciting thing? Thank you for being honest finally. What would be more exciting than what you’re considering?
Participant: I feel connection with the dolphins and bringing forward tones and sounds and songs.
Bashar: And why can’t that be a business?
Participant: I don’t know. Because some little negative belief deep within me told me that it can’t be so. I guess I bought that too.
Bashar: The things that excite you will support you in the way you need to be supported. But you will never discover that if you don’t actually take some action in the direction of those exciting things, even if it’s just one step. Let it prove to you that it can support you.
If you want to create something that you don’t really prefer, that’s not really your highest excitement, that you believe you really need to support you, by all means go ahead. But at the very least, if you’re going to consider the idea of acting on your highest excitement, then at the very least give yourself a chance by acting to some degree on something that is really the most exciting thing whenever you can, however you can, to at least give that excitement a chance to show you that it can support you.
And the more you give it a chance to show you that it can, the more you will see that it can, and the more confidence you will have and let go of the things that you don’t prefer and let the thing that you’re excited about actually support you all the time.
Did you ever hear us tell the story about the woman that told stories to her children? There was a woman who was absolutely driven mad with passion to tell stories to her children. She was so good at it, so amazing at it, that her children started inviting their friends to hear the stories, and then the children started inviting their parents to hear the stories, and then they started inviting her to different houses to tell the stories because she was just so passionate about it and she was so engaging. And then they started paying her to come and tell stories.
Now if someone had told her: “Well, how you going to make a living just telling stories? That’s ridiculous. That’s nonsense. No one can make a living just doing that,” then maybe she wouldn’t have gone forward that way. But because it was her passion, she didn’t pay attention to the naysayers. She just kept doing it, and eventually it found a way to support her. That’s how it works.
What many people on your planet have for a long, long, long, long time told you is just the fantasy is actually the way life works. Shock and surprise! So the things that you have all been doing that prevent you from experiencing those miracles—that’s the exception. Miracles are the natural order of things. Not experiencing them—that’s the exception.
Make sense? But this is just a mechanism. It’ll work for you just as easily as it works for everyone else because it is already working for you. It’s just that you’re using it in a negative way by feeding it negative information, so it has no choice but to feedback a negative experience, an uncertainty, a self-doubt because that’s the vibration you’re putting into it. But it’s just a mechanism. It doesn’t have a mind of its own. It’s not going to contradict you. The mechanism can’t wag its finger at you and say: “No, no, no, that’ll never work.” The negative beliefs can convince you that the mechanism will do that, but the mechanism can’t actually do that. It’s just a mechanism. It’s just the nature and structure of existence. That’s just how it works. It’s just one of the laws—what you put out is what you get back. That can’t change.
It’s just the nature of the beast. It can’t be anything but that. So why not just use it to your advantage instead of to your disadvantage? It’s up to you. It doesn’t care. It will give you exactly what you instruct it to give you. But you have to actually give it what you really prefer in order for you to see that it’s actually supporting that.
If you have a definition of excitement that is in any way, shape, or form contradictory to an actual definition of excitement, it can only give you the reflection of the definitional formula you have fed into the machine.
So if you have a definition of excitement that says: “Well, I’m going to act on my highest excitement, but how do I know my excitement can really support me? Maybe it will let me down. I don’t know”—that’s not a definition of excitement. That’s its own definition, and it’s its own reality. “The definition of I’m going to act on my excitement but it may disappoint me” is another definition entirely. “My excitement is capable of supporting me”—that’s two different reality definitions and thus two different reality experiences.
You have to be clear about what you’re feeding into the machine so that you’re not surprised when you get something back that is not representative of something that excitement would actually be, because you suddenly realize: “Oh well, I didn’t feed it a definition of excitement really. I fed it something different, and that’s why I got something different back.”
It’s that simple. Just be clear about your definitions and your reality will be a clear reflection. Yes. In much the same way again that when you’re looking at your reflection in a mirror, if you want to see your reflection smile, you can’t just do this and hope for the mirror to go. You have to go. If you go, the mirror can only go. It will only give back what you put out. It’s that simple. This is just physics. That’s all this is.
Participant: I’ll have to get in touch with my negative beliefs and process it.
Bashar: If you say so. I would suggest and encourage you to do that with all the excitement you can muster because it’s part of your excitement in order to discover those negative beliefs. Because when you do, the energy that they have been taking up will be added to your excitement.
Brain Power
Participant: For so many years, I really am passionate and really intrigued about brain power, mind power. You’ve been discussing about how as humans we have 100% of brain power, however we just use or choose to believe that we have 10%.
Bashar: You are using 100% to make it seem as if you’re only using 10% of your brain. Yes, exactly.
Participant: Then I’ve been trying—not trying, I’ve been doing that—and say: “Well, okay, I’m doing this. This is my belief. What do I have to believe in order for me to really choose this?” And I came out with nothing. Nothing.
Bashar: Exactly. That’s correct. Nothing. Except be yourself.
Participant: But that doesn’t change my choosing of this 10% that I would like to.
Bashar: Yes, it does. Until you doubt that it does. In other words, again, excitement is the key itself. When you act on the things, even if they don’t seem connected to the main thing you’re excited about, but when you act on things that contain the highest excitement out of all the choices available to you at any given moment, following the thread of that excitement is what elevates your frequency and allows you more awareness of the use of your brain power.
Until you doubt that that’s what it’s doing, and then you go back to the 10%. So just know that by acting on your excitement in all of its expressions—not just the idea of being excited about brain power, you’re almost just focusing on a natural side effect instead of actually focusing on the ideas that will actually allow you to experience the increase in connection to the brain power—you’re just saying: “Well, this is what I’m excited about.” You’re being excited about the outcome. Be excited about the process.
Does that make sense? So you will naturally experience that you are utilizing more of your brain power when you just act on other things in your life that contain excitement. You don’t need to continue to focus on the idea of the end result. Just focus on what’s exciting that you can take action on. That will actually have the effect of allowing you to feel an increase in brain power.
And stop focusing on the idea that you’re trying to increase your brain power. You’re almost doing it backwards. Just do it. Just go for it. Just do what excites you, and your brain power will increase. Anytime you are doing what you love to do, you’re in the gamma frequency, 40 cycles per second. And when you’re in that frequency, there is much more cohesion, much more coherence, much more synthesizing, much more processing going on, much more connectivity, much more association going on in your brain. It becomes a better receiver of higher frequency energies.
And then you will know, you will experience, you will feel that there’s more of you present. But you have to just do the things that excite you so that when you’re doing what you love, you will automatically know that you will be in that state in that moment. Just keep doing it and you’ll keep being in that state. And the more you’re in that state, the more you’ll get used to that state, and then the more you will allow yourself to go further and further and further and accelerate and accelerate and accelerate.
But that’s just the natural process, a natural side effect of acting on your highest excitement, doing what you love to do in all ways that it presents itself, instead of just focusing on the so-called effect that you will get out of doing those things. Make sense?
Question 20: Recreational Drug Use and Spiritual Development
Participant: I was wondering if you could talk about the effects of recreational drug use on spiritual development.
Bashar: I can talk about that. We will remind you briefly: The things that exist naturally on your planet, the things that grow naturally for that purpose of allowing you to explore different dimensions of your consciousness, those are the things that can act as teachers and guides up to a point. The things that your own body produces, such as dimethyltryptamine, also can be something you can explore and enhancing in a variety of ways according to whatever works best for you.
But the idea of all those things is for the purpose of getting you used to being in certain states. And by getting you used to those states, allowing you to start realizing that you can just create those states within yourself anytime you want with no further need for the teacher that brought you to that point of realization.
Otherwise, if you have to continue beyond a certain point, then you are going into the idea of using those things that the Earth has provided more as a crutch than a help. And it crosses the line from self-empowerment to addiction, even if it’s just mental addiction.
So the idea is to use them as they are designed to be used—the ones that are natural to your world that are there as teachers up to the point where you realize that what they’re attempting to show you is that you don’t need them anymore to access any state that you prefer. That works for you.
Question 21: Forgiveness
Participant: I was also wondering if you could elaborate more on the idea of forgiveness. It’s something that’s very pertinent to my life.
Bashar: All right. Well, as we said, it mitigates the idea of the consequences of negative acts. What more needs to be said about it? Why is it so difficult?
I’ll say this: You have had many expressions and examples of what you would call masters on your planet throughout your history—ascended masters, pastors, learned teachers—who have created many different kinds of expressions and passion plays and so on and so forth.
In what you call your biblical literature, you have the idea of the Christ consciousness being nailed to a cross. People on your planet say: “Well, he died for your sins.” What that really means is that when he said “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do,” he was expressing the idea specifically that the energy of forgiveness would mitigate the negative consequences for all the people that had actually done that to him. That’s what forgiving you for your sins means. That’s what the phrase means.
It was a very profound act of compassion and a very great teaching lesson if you understand what the lesson actually was and you understand what forgiveness is.
Participant: I’m in the Course in Miracles right now, and forgiveness is a huge thing. I’m very interested in the idea of the first separation and the forgiveness of that separation as it is discussed in that book.
Bashar: Well, the idea of the first separation is what we have typically referred to as the angelic realm. The first reflection of All-That-Is of itself can in some senses be said to be what became the recognition of the angels. The so-called idea of forgiveness enters this equation only in the sense of knowing that there is really nothing to forgive within the idea of simply experiencing yourself from a different point of view.
And that by adding the negative polarity into the equation is where it comes into thinking that forgiveness is needed. So the forgiveness in this sense, in this context as you mean it, is the forgiveness of thinking you needed forgiveness in order to experience a polarized reflection of yourself. Because it’s simply one way to experience herself, and there is nothing necessarily negative about using negativity in a positive way. And therefore there is nothing to forgive if that is the way it is used.
Does that make sense? Does that help?
Participant: It very much does.
Bashar: All right. I forgive you for asking the question. No, no, no—no forgiveness required.
CLOSING MEDITATION
Bashar: You may now, if you wish, take a short break. We will resume this transmission with your holotope experience to begin to crystallize these ideas within you further. We will resume this transmission in a few moments.
May I first, however, remind you that in tomorrow’s transmission during the holotope experience, we will be presenting you with something we have never done this way before—with a very unique Christmas gift that will be in the holotope experience of tomorrow’s transmission. And you will find out what the present is then when it is time to unwrap it.
But for now, you may prepare yourself for a few moments for the holotope experience and meditation for this transmission. We will resume this connection in a few moments.
(After the break)
Bashar: All right. We will continue this transmission by asking you to become very comfortable and relaxed. Let go of anything right now that you may be physically holding on to. Set it aside. Lay it down. Breathe deeply, gently, in and out. And allow your body to begin to relax.
As you bring down your lights and you raise your music slowly, begin to allow yourself to just breathe and drift. Breathe and drift. Relax into the vibration of the mirror before you that reflects to you an image of your true being—a reflection of all the different aspects that you are.
Focus your eyes upon the center of the holo, knowing that as you do so, you are allowing yourself the opportunity to peer into the very heart, the very core of your being. And allow yourself to know as you continue to breathe and relax, in and out, that looking into this core, into this central vortex, will also allow you to peer into the core of your personality, the core of your physical mind, and allow more easy access to the core beliefs and an ability to observe from a neutral place any negative beliefs that may reside in this core.
There are communicating ideas to you that may be out of alignment with your true self, your true vibration, for now that you can see more and more clearly into the core of your being and recognize the vibration of your true self. More and more clearly will you be able to tell the difference between any vibration coming from any belief that is not in alignment with that true core vibration.
For we remind you that negative beliefs must work very hard and focus on very specific things in order to convince you to suspend your disbelief about your true worth. Whereas positive beliefs can be just about anything that’s positive because it doesn’t matter what they are because they are all in alignment with you. They can be general, they can be specific, but they don’t need to be because they don’t need to work to convince you of the truth. Because the positive beliefs know that you know the truth on a higher level of your being.
And now you begin to realize more and more as you let all of this sink into you deeply and crystallize within you—this vibration of your truth more and more—you begin to see the smoke and mirrors behind the curtain. The lies that negative beliefs will feed you, not because they are malicious but because this is simply what they are designed to do—to allow you the opportunity to choose the negative, the dark, the limits, so that you are able to use them in a positive way, to reach for the light in the darkness, to free yourself from any limitations that do not serve you.
For some limitations do serve you. They are the ones that allow you to be focused in physical reality and experience the process of your life in order to have the discoveries of new perspectives of your being. This is in many ways the great gift that the negative beliefs can give you if you use them in this way—to contrast the things that you know are true for you against the things you know are not, and to help propel you with more acceleration in the direction of your preference, in the direction of your joy.
So give thanks in a positive way from your self-empowered place of peace and balance. Give thanks to all the negative beliefs that have brought you to where you are, and thank them and let them know that they can now begin to relax—that they do not have to try so hard anymore to convince you of something you know is not true. That they have done their job and done it well, and you thank them for bringing you to this place, for allowing you to see more clearly who you are by seeing more clearly who you are not.
And by thanking them and relaxing your energy toward them and not invalidating them, do you then slowly drain the charge that you have put on them, so that the negative beliefs may know that they can simply relax and be the part of you they need to be—simply an option, an equal choice, a valid choice, but nothing more than a choice.
For that is all they are really. When you see through the illusion, when you see through the tricks, you begin to understand they are nothing but a choice like any other choice. They have no power over you. They can only use your power in a reflection that is contrary to what you prefer. And if you don’t give them your power to use, they have no power of their own.
For they are only shapes. They are only symbols. They are only signs and illusions. They are only dreams. They are only smoke and mirrors and light and magic. They are just ideas. They are just perspectives. That is all they are.
Breathe in and breathe out and feel the release. And you know that as you use with your imagination the permission slips that we have delivered to you of the seven-part Master permission slip that allows you to make affirmations that reveal to you any negative beliefs that may be lurking within your unconscious mind—as you go down the list of the affirmation in the seven-part Master permission slip, and as you use the permission slip we have delivered to you this evening of the different tools and tricks and the neutralizers that you now have—use these as the beginning, use these as the template, use these as the framework to expand upon these ideas.
Come up with your own understanding through your imagination and your communication with the higher mind. Come up with your own understanding and reveal to yourself more of the tools and tricks that may be lying within you. And allow them to reveal themselves to you. Allow your excitement as you act on it to be the reflective mirror that reveals to you anything you may be unaware of that will serve you to become conscious of, so that you may transform them by neutralizing and remembering, remembering, remembering they are just beliefs.
They are nothing more. And they cannot be more fundamental than your existence and your worth. They simply cannot be.
Allow yourself to breathe. Allow yourself to float in this new understanding, in this new assurance, in this new certainty, in this new confidence.
Do not choose to be the agent of the negative belief. Do not choose to be the victim of the negative belief. Do not choose to be unaware of the negative belief. Allow yourself the freedom of awareness, the freedom of transformation, the freedom of being who you truly are.
And relax anything within you that is not of that vibration, so that it may know that it has done its job and been of service, and that it is part of the unconditional love you have for the totality of your being.
And forgive yourself and forgive others and let go. Let go. Let go.
And as you let go, know that what you are letting in is the reflection of realities that are true for you. And that there will always be a version of a reality that is a reflection of your truth that will bring you synchronistically exactly what you need. And it may be different than what your mind wants, but it will be exactly that which serves you.
And if you know that, then you will relax and receive. Relax and receive. Relax and receive the gift of what is true for you from the higher mind.
Let go of those things that are not you. Let go of those things that do not serve you. Let in the reality reflection that is designed perfectly for you.
For it exists right here, right now. Always has, always is, and always will be. It goes nowhere and never leaves you. But you can pretend to leave it and feel yourself wallowing in misery and pain and suffering. But you do not need to choose these things, for again they are only your insistence on resistance.
Do not insist on resisting the natural you, and all the pain will fade and turn to joy.
Release yourself from the bondage that you yourself have created. Release yourself from the prison bars you yourself have fashioned. Release yourself from the darkness you yourself have chosen to surround yourself with. And see the light reflected back of the being that you are in the core of your consciousness.
Breathe it in. Breathe it in. Breathe it in and release and be free.
For you are loved. You are supported. Always and never alone.
Let all the expressions of creation that can reflect that support and unconditional love to you come in. Open your new eyes to see new things. And allow the negative beliefs to go to sleep and slumber peacefully now that they have earned their retirement in service to you.
They will always be there should you decide to choose them. But now you can allow them to slumber—a peaceful sleep that they have earned, that they deserve in bringing you to the realizations that now exist within you.
That you now yearn for, that you now ask for, and shall receive. For this information, this energy, and this love is always being sent to you in all always at all times, forever and ever.
And the next time, if such should occur, that you encounter the effects of the negative belief, remind yourself, remind yourself, remind yourself:
It’s only a movie. It’s only a movie. It’s only a movie. I have simply agreed to be willing to have a suspension of disbelief about my worth. But the movie is now over, and I see the light—the pure light on the screen before me—and the pure reflection of my being. And I now reawaken to the reality of my truth, having learned, having experienced, having journeyed in the movie in the way that served me best. But that was just a dream. And now I am awake. And this is who I truly am.
And that was just a movie. Just a movie. Just a dream.
Breathe that in and make it your own.
