The Manifestation Space

Question 2: Business, Creativity, and Fear of Success

Participant: Yes. All right. I wanted to thank you. A previous transmission where you talked about the blue light technique… Yes. And it’s just another permission slip and this has been beneficial to me. I say, in it you said you’d need to eat less and you need to sleep less. And I’ve experienced this in that I’ve only needed to eat once a day and I don’t need that much sleep. And I also think it’s because I follow my passion most of the day where I’m creating art. I’m becoming the artist that I’ve been in denial of.

Bashar: Hold on a moment. Did you say most of the day?

Participant: Most of the day. Not all of the day. I’m speaking in terms of when I create art.

Bashar: Well, but aren’t there other things you do that are also representative of your passion? In other words, when you are finding yourself to be tired, isn’t it then your passion to relax and go to sleep?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: So that’s still following your passion. Remember, acting on your excitement, as we say, doesn’t mean you’re jumping up and down with your hair on fire. It can be a state of balanced peace and relaxation, too. That’s another expression of following your passion if that’s what’s relevant for that moment for you. Okay? So, does that change the definition now to all of the day?

Participant: Sure. Well, that was convincing. Okay. I’ll make that real. I’ll make it real.

Bashar: All right.

Participant: My question had to do with taking the next step in my creativity and turning it into a business. And I realized that I have my own beliefs that prevent me from doing this.

Bashar: Hence you were actually accurate when you said “most of the day,” since obviously what you’re saying is this is out of alignment with your passion in terms of the way in which you’re going about this; otherwise, you would have no trepidation, you would have no fear about it. Mhm. Do you understand that when we talk about the idea of acting on your excitement we also mean that all the components need to be aligned? What it is that excites you, where it is it excites you, when it excites you, with whom it excites you. In other words, there is a way, if there is something for you that you need to learn to do your excitement, there will always automatically be a way in which you can learn it in a way that’s exciting for you, or have it happen in a way that’s exciting for you. Even sometimes the idea of synchronistically attracting someone else to help you do something that’s not exciting for you to do can actually be an expression of your excitement.

But if there are things you believe are important for you to know in operating your business, then the first thing you can understand and assume is that if it’s part of your excitement, there will be a way in which you can learn these things and do these things that is exciting. And you don’t have to dampen your excitement by assuming or creating a definition that says that they have to be an effort to you that is out of alignment with your excitement. There’s got to be a way to learn the things you truly need to learn that are in alignment with your excitement. There has to be, by definition, because excitement leaves nothing relevant out. It’s a complete kit. So if there is something that you truly need to learn, there has to be a way to use your excitement to learn it. You just have to use your imagination. Think outside the box, as you humans say.

Is there something similar to the blue light technique that I can use to make that… Since you asked that question, I’m assuming there must be for you, or you wouldn’t have thought to ask the question. What is it about your imagination that you don’t trust?

Participant: That’s a good question, isn’t it?

Bashar: Yes. What is it about your imagination that you don’t trust?

Participant: I don’t know if it’s about my imagination. It’s more of my belief that holds me back.

Bashar: A belief. I understand that. But what we’re hinting at here is that you have an imagination that can create a methodology for you that’s in alignment with your excitement to learn what you need to learn. So your beliefs are dampening your imagination. Mhm. You understand?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: So if you let go of the belief that you don’t have the wherewithal to have the imagination to figure out what will work for you…

Participant: Yes. Yes.

Bashar: But if you let go of that belief, your imagination will work for you. You will know what will work. You’ll be attracted to what will work for you. That’s why you’ll be attracted to it. So, if some permission slip is something you already know, or you wish to change it a little bit, or you wish to attract a completely new permission slip, it’ll be there for you. And whatever it is you find attractive, you’re attracted to because it’s telling you this is what will work for you in alignment with your beliefs right now. You may change and the permission slip may change, but whatever you’re attracted to and whatever you attract through synchronicity is what will work for you at that moment. Do you trust that?

Participant: Not yet.

Bashar: Why not?

Participant: I’m not sure.

Bashar: What makes it seem more beneficial to trust the alternative than to trust that? Because remember, that’s why you do anything: because it appears beneficial in your belief system as opposed to the alternative. If you know the alternative would actually be more to your benefit, but you’re not doing it, that is your first clue to tell you you have a belief that’s attached to the thing you don’t prefer that actually makes it seem to be the thing that is more beneficial as opposed to the thing you know would be more beneficial. But your beliefs are making it seem less beneficial than what you’re choosing to do because you always move in the direction of what you believe to be beneficial and you always move away from what you believe is not beneficial. So if you’re moving in the direction of things you know are not beneficial, that can only mean you have a belief that’s making them look more beneficial than what you know actually would be beneficial.

So you have to ask yourself: well, that might mean that I’m afraid that if I actually move in the direction of my excitement, I believe something terrible might happen. You’re creating a contradictory definition about what might happen if you follow your joy. What might that be? What are you afraid will happen if you actually just give over to your passion?

Participant: Again, I’m not sure.

Bashar: Oh, yes, you are. You can’t get away with that. What are you afraid might happen if you don’t hold back on your passion?

Participant: Monetary success will happen.

Bashar: I said, what are you afraid might happen? Are you afraid of monetary success?

Participant: I think I have a fear of success.

Bashar: Why? What do you think will happen if you succeed? And first of all, what does success mean to you? Define success for yourself.

Participant: For me, it has to do with money and what I feel about money.

Bashar: And what do you feel about money?

Participant: Belief that rich people are greedy and corrupt.

Bashar: Are they all?

Participant: No.

Bashar: Well, then why can’t you be one of the ones that isn’t? Why are you assuming you have to be the kind that you don’t prefer to be just because you attract abundance? And of course, there are different forms of abundance. It doesn’t always have to come in the form of money. Remember that our definition is simply the ability to do what you need to do when you need to do it. Money on your planet can be one expression of abundance, but so can somebody simply giving you something as a gift. So can synchronicity. So why not just be open to all the forms of abundance and assume that whatever form really serves you best will be the form that’s there? And if there’s only so much of one form, then that means that the rest of what you need will come in another form of abundance. And therefore, you don’t have to worry about the form it comes in. It’ll balance itself out in whatever way it needs to to represent the forms of abundance you need to be who it is you prefer to be. And that there is simply no consideration that it has to in any way, shape, or form turn you into the kind of person you don’t prefer to be.

These are the kinds of definitions you need to clean out of your attic. They don’t make any sense because the moment you can look in your world and answer the question the way you did when I asked you, “Well, are all wealthy people greedy, terrible people?” You said no. The moment you can find an example of the opposite of what you’re afraid might happen, you know that can be just as true for you. So then the question would be, well then why are you assuming that it would be otherwise? What do you believe about yourself that makes you think that you would automatically be the kind of a person who would become a greedy, bad person? Why do you believe that about yourself? Why do you believe that’s so automatic and inevitable?

Participant: Well, again, it’s something I haven’t looked at.

Bashar: Well, then you can begin to look at it, can’t you?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: We’re going to say something here that sort of covers this territory. Apply it however it makes sense to you, all of you. But pay attention to this concept. Many people on your planet are afraid to move forward because they feel guilty about something within themselves. You follow me? And that guilt holds them back. And in a lot of cases, they feel that they need to be guilty to keep themselves in check. It’s what you’re saying: “If I don’t feel guilt, I might run amuck.” You follow me?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: But in fact, just the opposite is true. The fact that you are actually even capable of feeling guilt means you automatically know who you prefer to be and would never actually intentionally do anything harmful. Because if you actually believed that you were not a good person, you would never feel the guilt. Do you understand the paradox here?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: The fact that someone feels guilt means they have nothing to feel guilty about. That’s the paradox. Someone who is, in your terms, sociopathic never feels guilt. So the fact that you might at first feel the guilt is your signal that you will always pay attention to what you’re doing. You will always have a positive intention about your actions and therefore you don’t need to feel guilty. You can simply rely on the idea that you have an intention to be a good person. That’s enough. You don’t need the guilt to prompt you into being a good person because the fact that you had the guilt means you’re a good person, or you would never have felt guilty in the first place. So having guilt once is enough to tell you that you don’t need to feel guilt anymore about being who you truly are. Is this making sense to all of you?

Audience: Yes.

Bashar: All right. So take that to heart, get on with your life in the way that you prefer. And if you find yourself dealing with that hesitation again, just go back into the understanding that you know you have a positive intention. You’re doing the best you can. You will always check in with yourself because that’s simply what you do, and you will keep moving forward and keep course correcting and keep balancing yourself because that’s what you intend to do.

Participant: Yes. Thank you, Bashar. Does this help you?

Bashar: Yes, it does. All right. Thank you.

Participant: It’s a great honor to be here.

Bashar: Good day, Bashar. And you good day.

Question 3: Reincarnation, Matrix, and Soul Contracts

Participant: Thank you for talking with us today and I appreciate all the help that you’ve given.

Bashar: It is our pleasure. Thank you and our appreciation for the co-creation.

Participant: I have some heavy questions that have come to my attention and I wanted to get a…

Bashar: Heavy questions. Heavy questions. All right. I do understand this is a 3D virtual reality and we’re actually in a secondary matrix that exists for our use as a soul-based entity. Yes. Sort of a soul cage that we get to do these…

Bashar: Well, you’ve created it.

Participant: Yes. And I’ve been told from various sources that the reincarnation process has come to a shutdown and is not happening anymore.

Bashar: Well, first of all, there’s no such thing as reincarnation. Okay. Well, because that’s an illusion of the space-time framework since everything exists all at once, right? All lives exist at the same time. Some of them just in a vibrational framework you call the past. But you are making connections to those other people, those other lives that exist simultaneously with you. You’re making those energetic and informational connections from the present, as are they from their present making such connections to you and others. So the idea of reincarnation is the illusion. The actual mechanism is multiple simultaneous incarnations that you make present-day connections to to download information and experience from those other lives. Those other people that are existing at the same time you do. You as a person have never been them. They as people will never be you.

Now you might, from a higher level, the oversoul level, say, “Well, I’m an extension of that oversoul. That other person is an extension of the same oversoul. Therefore, from that level, I can say as the oversoul, I can say I have both of these lives.” But as a person, since you’re already an extension and so is that other person, a simultaneously existing extension, you can’t say that one would actually reincarnate as the other because the first person, in a sense, actually never goes away. Okay, I understand. Is this making some sense?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: All right. So the idea that the reincarnational cycle is coming to an end or has stopped is exactly the idea of realizing that it never existed to begin with in the way you thought it did. Okay? That’s why it has stopped. Your realization is now caught up to the understanding of what the mechanism actually is. You’ve modernized your definition of it, brought it into what you call your 21st century, and let go of the outdated, mythological, old-fashioned, medieval concept.

Participant: All right. Well, that’s good. Yes. Well, I was made aware that this specific matrix, the one that we are all sharing right now, yes, is coming to a conclusion.

Bashar: Well, the idea of the old cycles are concluding and you’re going into new cycles of more positivity because you have, in a sense, for the cycles you wanted to experience, for the themes you all chose to explore, you have kind of reached the end of the negative cycles. That’s why you’re seeing so much negativity popping up in the world around you in such an accelerated way because, as we have said, you’re getting it all out on the table because there’s no more time left to experience these things the way you used to. You have to get it all out of your system so that you can move on to something different. You have to make choices based on the worlds that you actually prefer to experience now. And that’s why you’re really starting to physiologically split into different parallel realities. You may still be able to look across the aisle and see other realities you’re no longer in, but a physical split has begun. And just because you can see a reality that is a different parallel reality from the one you prefer, doesn’t mean you’re living in it anymore. You’re actually just observing it at a distance from the parallel reality you are now in. Okay?

Participant: Okay. I have recently omitted the use of meat in my diet and I’ve noticed a big jump in my frequency.

Bashar: Yes. And for some people it will work that way. Yes.

Participant: And my intuitive abilities have skyrocketed.

Bashar: Of course, as you refine or increase or accelerate your frequency, those will be the natural symptoms that go along with it by whatever methodology you believe is correct for you.

Participant: I’ve also invoked a statement that I’ve revoked my soul contracts and all karmic debt.

Bashar: There’s no such thing as karmic debt. Okay. Well, then that’s not a problem anymore.

Participant: No, it’s not.

Bashar: All you’re saying is I have simply made an agreement with myself that I will choose, as best as I can, to remain in balance. Okay, that’s it. That’s all you’re doing. And you are also realizing, in saying “I have revoked your soul agreement,” all you’re saying is you have also consciously begun to realize that in this particular life, you can actually change your theme. And that’s what I want to do. I’ve exited my what I would call my life script. I’m writing it as I go. That’s my goal.

Bashar: Yes. And one of my biggest intents right now is to get financial freedom.

Participant: Again, remember what we said about abundance, right? Don’t get stuck in the idea of the money being the only way. Right?

Participant: But having financial means will provide me a great amount of tools that I want to do.

Bashar: And how do you know that those tools can’t come in other ways? Again, you’re insisting there’s only one way you can imagine them happening. But it’s extremely effective.

Participant: All right. If you want to insist on slowing down, that’s up to you. You’re actually resisting a more effective method. So, there is a better path that…

Bashar: There is a more effective method and I have just described it to you. Open up and be willing to allow other forms of abundance to be there if they need to be. If financial wealth does turn out to be, for specific circumstances, the most effective method to bring you the tools you need, then that is what will happen. But if it’s not happening that way, you have to relax your definition and understand that that may be a signal there is actually a more efficient, more effective way. Be open to allowing it to manifest in your life or you will shut the door through which a more effective way might come just because you’re not willing to recognize it as the idea of abundance.

Participant: Being specific to the path that you can see in me, and I know I’m speaking to my higher self. Yes. Can you give me some clues?

Bashar: I just did. I gave you the biggest clue I can give you. You need to relax your definition about the concept of what you need to be effective in your life. You have to let the machine work. You have to let the toolkit work. When you’re talking about effective tools, the most effective tools are the ones that are already built into the toolkit of excitement. That is that when you act on your passion to the best you are able with no insistence or assumption as to what the outcome ought to be—and I mean none—then you activate the toolkit. The tools in the kit are that your passion becomes the driving engine that moves you through life. It contains the organizing principle of synchronicity that shows you exactly what you need to do in what order and when. And that makes you most efficient. It becomes the path of least resistance that allows you to move through your life in an effortless way. It becomes the path that connects you to all other expressions that are relevant for you in life of your joy, your passion, and excitement. It becomes the reflective mirror that reveals to you anything within you as a belief that might be out of alignment with your excitement. So you can identify it, see that it makes no sense to hold on to, let it go and add that energy to your excitement. So you can continue to accelerate and it becomes whatever form of support or abundance it needs to be to allow you to continue to efficiently act on whatever it is that is true for you that is representative of your passion. It is a complete kit. It contains everything you need. It leaves nothing out. And all you have to do from that point forward is simply choose to stay in a positive state no matter what the result may be or look like from the actions that you took from within your excitement. That’s the entire instruction manual. There is no more to it. There is no addendum. There is no table of contents. That’s it. That’s the entire instruction manual for how reality manifestation works. So that’s all you need to do.

Participant: So what you’re saying is I’m too narrow in my view at this point.

Bashar: That is what I’m saying. You need to broaden your definition so that more of the automatic machine can work for you more effortlessly instead of constricting the pathway through which it gets to you by insisting that it can only be this way. Therefore you will only recognize this as valid. Therefore, leaving out a lot of the rest of what could be validly working for you in an extremely effective way. Because here’s the thing: what you’re experiencing is the idea of the ego mind thinking it knows what needs to happen. Your mind has no idea what needs to happen. You think you do, but you don’t. So, I need to just let it go is what you’re saying.

Bashar: You need to surrender. And surrender. Not meaning you give up control. You need to surrender to the control you already have. Surrender the methodology. The idea is to go with your own flow because you already have a flow. You already have a current and the current knows exactly where you need to go. It will never lead you astray. The only way you can, in a sense, land on the shore that is not correct for you is by swimming against the current and not going with the flow. And swimming against the current is simply resisting the natural self. Trusting that your life unfolds automatically in exactly the way it needs to. Even if you manifest something at the moment you don’t prefer, objectively don’t prefer, it’s still got to be there for a reason you do prefer. That’s how you use what you don’t prefer in a positive way. So even if something crops up and you go, “Well, objectively, neutrally, I recognize, I observe that is not what I prefer, but there must be a reason it’s here,” let me stay in a positive state so that I will be able to intuit what that reason is and use it in a positive way because I know that by staying in a positive state I can even springboard off things that I don’t prefer in the direction I do prefer. A stepping stone is what you’re saying.

Participant: Absolutely.

Bashar: Everything exists for a reason. Whatever’s going on in your life at this moment is there for a reason. If you use it in a positive way, you will see why it is there. Sometimes it can be as simple as manifesting something you don’t prefer just in order to give you clarity about the difference between what you don’t and do prefer. That’s reason enough sometimes for something you don’t prefer to manifest just to give you clarity on what you do prefer by contrast.

Participant: So if I follow this approach, which I will attempt… I will do. Thank you for catching yourself. My goal is, you know, to attain an earlier retirement as… Excuse me. No goals. My plan. Excuse me. My will.

Bashar: You can plan a little bit. That’s fine. But remember, your plan has to contain an ability for the plan to be dropped and changed. So have a plan, but allow the plan to be flexible enough to change the plan if necessary according to what needs to happen. Because when you plan too much, when you have too rigid of a goal, then it becomes the conditions and the insistence that we’re talking about and that means you are now voiding the actual principle and it creates blocks that would work for you. Creates blocks.

Participant: Okay. Yes. So from this new knowledge that you’ve given me, what is my probability of success?

Bashar: The awareness of the knowledge, the probability is zero or 50/50. The application of the knowledge: 100%. But watch your definition of success because it may contain conditions that will once again reduce the probability. We, by definition, generally remind all of you, quote-unquote, that if at first you don’t succeed, redefine success.

Participant: That sounds like a copout.

Bashar: It’s not. And the fact that you say it sounds like a copout means that you’re working with negative definitions because you can come up with a positive reason for that because you know we would not have suggested it were there not the possibility of looking at that concept in the positive way. So when you say it sounds like a copout that means you’re already coming from a negative definition of that phrase.

Participant: So I have some work to do.

Bashar: Yes you do. But that’s fun. That’s the challenge. That’s why you’re having a physical life. In order to experience the process itself. Remember, if you want to talk about a goal, the process is the goal, not where you think you’re going to go. The goal of having a life is to experience transformation from one state to another. The process is the point. As many people on your planet say, the journey is the destination. So live in the moment, stay in the moment, work with what’s happening in the moment. That’s the whole point. That’s your goal. To be here now, not to get somewhere else, to be here now. If you simply allow yourself to be here now, you will find very quickly you will be some other now much faster because it can only happen in the now. When you set your sights on too far of a future, you’re not living in the now and it remains where? In the future.

Participant: I always try to insist on being present as much as possible.

Bashar: But it’s not an insistence, it’s choice. All right, one final question.

Participant: Yes. I heard a statistic which was quite startling and I wanted to get your confirmation.

Bashar: Oh, a startling statistic.

Participant: Yes. I’ve been told that the ratio of people on this planet that are soul-bound, in other words, they have a soul, a fractal of a soul in them… What does that mean? Well, in other words, it’s 5,000 to one. In other words, for every single person who has a soul in their body—the soul is not in your body, but go ahead—well, there’s that connection. There’s that connection to Source Self. Yes. The ratio of human beings living on this planet, yes, is 5,000 to 1 that has a soul Source connection. The other 4,999, you know, the ratio are basically soulless entities, soulless beings just playing out their life path, their script in order to play the game. And what would be the point of playing out the script if there’s no soul connection? They are basically part of the puzzle for us soul players to have this. So what you’re saying is they’re just part of the illusion that you’re projecting and they’re not actually people in the same concept.

Bashar: Correct. Is that a question? You can do that, but the idea is: how would you tell the difference? You really can’t. And therefore, what’s the point of talking about it?

Participant: I just found it an interesting statistic. In other words, when those people die, they don’t go anywhere. They’re just recorded in the Akashic. But that’s because you’re saying they’re not people. They’re like robots.

Bashar: They’re robots. They’re not people. They’re not anything but projections of your consciousness. But they’re organic representations of beings that… But physical reality is an illusion anyway. So what difference does it make how real they look?

Participant: Oh, you’re making me go in circles.

Bashar: Yes. Because in a sense, it’s a pointless question. But if I interact with another person who’s also soul Source connected, there is real meaning there. There’s real meaning in all of it because you’re the one creating the meaning anyway.

Participant: But there’s more meaning with those.

Bashar: No, there is not. You see how you like to qualify things?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: Stop doing that. Okay? And fundamentally, I know this may also add a little bit more confusion to you, but fundamentally the answer to your question is no. No. As in: No, that doesn’t really exist in the way you’re describing it. So, it’s a matrix game that’s being played on me.

Bashar: Yes. Well, not played on you. It’s part of the idea of the exploration of consciousness and it gives you an opportunity to examine things that you also believe about yourself. Okay? So, it’s an opportunity to decide whether or not there is some truth in that experience or that description for you or not. All right, that’s really what it’s about more than anything. It’s not about is this really accurate as a statistic because remember your reality changes moment to moment. Nothing is static. It’s all dynamic. I could say in one moment it’s an absolutely accurate statistic and 5 seconds from now I could say it’s complete bunk and both will be true. It just depends on where you’re at and what you choose to experience of the reality that you choose to be aligned with. Anything you can imagine, in some sense, is real because you cannot imagine non-existence. The only real question is: is that the way you want to define the reality you prefer to experience? It’s up to you. Does it work for you as an idea? Does it work for you as a permission slip to think that way? Yes. No. It’s up to you. It’s all real in one context and in another context none of it is real. Does that help? Or does it make you go in more circles?

Participant: Yes, it’s more circles then.

Bashar: That was the point. Thank you. Thank you. One little tiny bit of advice. Stop overthinking everything.
