The Seven Neutral Needs

Some people do not know the difference between what they need in life and what they want.

There is a big difference.

Sometimes they might coincide if you get lucky. But many times what you want might often be the product of what you’ve been taught to believe you need that may not actually be what you really need in life.

What you want can sometimes, because of those belief systems that might be either fear-based or negative, be something that the negative ego thinks it needs to be in control of.

It needs to attract into your life in order for your life to be fulfilled.

But life works automatically when you allow it to.

Everything you truly need will come to you in perfect timing.

It’s an automatic mechanism.

The idea of wanting something, we understand that the way you mean it. We understand that the way you often use it.

But when you put too much emphasis behind wanting something that must happen in the way you have envisioned it happening, very often you’re actually limiting yourself and limiting the way it could happen much greater than you imagine because the physical mind, is limited in its way of imagining things.

The higher mind can imagine more.

So when the physical mind seeks to control and says, “Well, I want this and if this doesn’t happen then something must be wrong,” then you are actually closing the doors through which the higher mind could give you something better than the physical mind was capable of imagining, and thus you are actually shortchanging yourselves.

Every single thing is its own state of being.

The idea of wanting something is a state of wanting.

It is not a state of having.

So if you insist on wanting, wanting, wanting, you’re going to remain in a state of wanting.

You’re not actually going to be able to have, to really manifest, to experience the focus of your wanting because all you’re doing is saying you want it.

Therefore you will continue to do nothing but stay in a state of wanting it. it will never arrive. Thus wanting is not necessarily in your best interest. But needing is.

What do I really need?

So we break it down to the seven basic needs as the neutral needs because these are the basic things you need to survive in your life.

Do not assign a meaning to them—which is why we call them neutral.

They function automatically by themselves although you can color them with your belief system and imbue them with different meanings and emotions and definitions and so forth.

But by themselves, they are just the basic fundamental needs that are required for you to exist in your physical reality experience.

Anytime you find yourself caught up in any kind of circumstance where you find yourself wondering what kind of state of being is really most beneficial for you to be in, you can always use these seven neutral needs to go back to a ground state, back to a fundamental state and start again from zero, start again from scratch and recognize that in many circumstances you really are getting what you need.

By focusing on the seven neutral needs, it can also aid and assist you in understanding the difference between what you may really need in that moment as opposed to what you are saying you want in that moment.

And it can act as a clarifying system for you.

The seven neutral needs have different time frames associated to them because they are things you really do need to experience your physical reality.

You will find that some of them you need all the time. Some of them can take weeks before you realize you need it.

Some of them can take years before you realize you need it. But you really need them all.

The idea is that without them, you will either quickly or slowly die. That’s how you know they are actually fundamental needs. The ones that take years in a sense can seem misleading because you might feel, “Well, I’m still fine. I’m still breathing. I’m still moving along.”

And so you can fool yourself into thinking you don’t need it or that you are altering it in a way that is not really in alignment with the need. But nevertheless, all we’re saying is the difference between the needs that are quick and the needs that take longer is just that you either die quickly or you die slowly over time.

And when we say die, we are also talking about the idea of your energy, your spirit, your willingness to live, your feeling that you belong, your feeling that you fit, your feeling that you are empowered.

These things with negative beliefs can over time wither in a sense and appear to die, causing you to slowly die over time when you could be living a more vibrant life, a more energetic life.

The Seven Neutral Needs Listed

In order of how long they take to kill you if you don’t do them, we start with:

1. Air: You need air.

If you don’t have air, you will be dead pretty soon, within a matter of minutes. So that’s the quickest one. You need air to live in your physical reality.

2. Water: Next, you need water to live in your physical reality. Without water, you will probably die in about a week. So that’s a little longer.

3. Sleep: Next. Now, many of you may be thinking, “Well, next I need food.” That’s not the next thing. Next, you need sleep. You need to dream. You need to reconnect to spirit. That’s what sleeping is for. That’s what dreaming is about. You need to re-energize your physical battery. Without sleep, you will only last about 11 days and then you will die.

4. Food: Next is food. You need food in general. Now, please understand before we go on, of course, there are always some exceptions. There are people who are of a state where they can be breatharians and so on and so forth and they may seem to not need food for longer periods of time. I’m not talking about the exceptions. I’m talking about the general populace on your planet. So in general, you need sustenance of some form or you will find in about 2 to 3 weeks you will start to die.

Now what’s next? Those are the four main ones that happen pretty rapidly. Now we enter a new phase where things can take months or years.

5. Shelter: So what is next is you need some form of shelter. Now when we say shelter, we don’t necessarily mean it has to be a building or a house. Your environment can be your shelter if it is the kind of environment in which you can thrive. So for instance, people on your planet who might live on a tropical isle where the weather is always fine will find that that will be shelter enough and they won’t necessarily have to live in a dwelling in the classical sense. But you need some form of shelter even if it is simply your environment that is beneficial to you. That is still a shelter. The shelter of nature, the shelter of earth that is in accord and in alignment with the human form to sustain it.

6. Connection/Relationship: Next, you need some form of connection, relationship in some way. I understand that sometimes people may be on journeys where they seem to spend a long time alone, but that doesn’t mean they’re not in a relationship. The relationship doesn’t have to be with other human beings. It can be with animals. It can be with trees. It can be with spirit. It can be with a rock. It can be with God. But it’s a relationship. You have some sense of connection to life, connection to nature, connection to existence and spirit, connection to your essence and your being. You have a relationship with All-That-Is in some form of expression. Without that, again, it may take years but you will slowly die without that connection which brings you back to the idea of sleep because again that’s what the sleep is for, to make that connection. Now as we have said, on our world we no longer eat, we no longer sleep because we are always connected, we are always sustained just by the energy of the universe. We have evolved to that point and eventually you will too. But right now, again as a generality, you will find that most of you need some form of relationship, some form of connection, some form of exchange with consciousness, some form of reflection that allows you to get in touch with the things you need to be more of who you are, the things you need to grow. This is a true need.

7. Creative Expression: The final need is what you might call creative expression. In other words, when you allow yourself to be who you are, it must be expressed. This is where acting on your passion falls in. This is where you express the aspect of creation that you are. You express the connections that you’ve made. You express the energy that has sustained you in life. So you need some form of personal creative expression that is unique to you, that allows you to know, that allows you to shout that you are alive, that allows you to shine, that allows your spirit to be counted, to be seen, to be known, to be felt, to be understood.

Some of the later ones like not expressing yourself, not stating who you are in some way can take years to kill you if you’re not doing it. But you will slowly be dying.

Now again, there may be moments when you go through phases where you’re not doing it. That’s fine because again, those phases may be there to teach you something.

As long as you understand that one of the tools in the kit of following your passion is the reflective mirror that reveals to you anything you might be holding on to in your unconscious mind that is out of alignment with your truth, that is out of alignment with what you need, and you allow yourself to address it, then that’s the point. That’s the purpose of having that moment of discovering something that is not your excitement in that moment so that you can let it go and add its energy to your overall excitement and express yourself in grander ways.

The idea therefore paradoxically of the reflective mirror while you’re following your excitement revealing something to you that is not part of your excitement is part of your excitement. To find out what doesn’t excite you is part of your excitement. Because when something manifests in your life that might be representative of what you don’t prefer, you can use that in a positive way by recognizing that it might be there as a clarifying point to show you what you don’t prefer much more clearly so that you can see what you do prefer by contrast much more clearly. That’s how to use what you don’t prefer in a way that you do prefer.

So again, the expression of your truth, the expression of your being by following your passion to the best you’re able with no insistence on a particular outcome because you really don’t know what’s supposed to happen. You may think you do, but that’s where you go back to the negative ego. That’s where you go back to the idea that the ego thinks it has to control everything. That’s where you go by the idea of wanting. “I want this to happen. This has to happen. It’s really got to happen or something is wrong. Something went wrong somewhere. I’m off my path.” No, you cannot be off your path. You are your path. The only way you can experience as if you’re off your path is by assuming that something that has happened in your life cannot possibly be there for a positive reason.

It doesn’t matter what happens. It only matters what you do with what happens.

That’s the key. That’s the secret.

But when you find yourself in a puzzle, in a conundrum, when you feel like you have forgotten, just go back to the seven neutral needs.

Let’s see. I’m still breathing. I’m doing pretty good. Got number one on the checklist checked off. Got that down pat. I need some water. Oh, all right. I might be a little thirsty. Might be a little dehydrated. All right. Glug glug glug. Check that off your list. I need to get some sleep. I’m feeling really tired. Why am I tired? I’m exhausted because I’ve been trying to be someone I’m not, which is the most tiring thing you can do. So, I am now excited about resting. Rest. Regenerate. Connect. Re-energize your batteries.

Now perhaps when you wake up, you are hungry. Get some food. Put it in your body. Whatever it may be that works for you. Listen to your body consciousness. Listen to your intuition. You don’t have to force yourself to be more spiritual. Yes, it’s important to lighten up. But when your energy is on a higher frequency, you will automatically lose the urge to eat certain things that might have a heavier energy. There is no reason to force yourself there, which is an oxymoron and it doesn’t work anyway. Listen to your body consciousness. It knows what you need and it knows what you don’t need. So pay attention to that.

Then. All right, got that all checked off, those first four biggies. And now some shelter. The idea of: are you in the environment that excites you? Because remember when we talk about doing what excites you the most and following your passion and acting on it, it has to be a complete thing, a holistic thing. Doing what excites you in the way it excites you, how it excites you, where it excites you, with whom it excites you, will automatically allow your synchronicity to lead you to the place that is most representative that will bring you the form of shelter or environment that you need to allow you to be who you really are and continue to grow. And also the idea of connection. It will again synchronistically bring into your life all those of whatever type of being that really is most representative of the connections you need to make in order to discover more relationship, more about yourself, more reflectivity, more information that you might need to add to your understanding of your being and your theme of exploration in this life and help you grow and expand. And then finally, yes, the expression of who and what you are. Your purpose in life is to be you as best as you possibly can. That’s your purpose. The expression of your purpose will be as different as there are as many people because that’s just an expression of your purpose. Your passion is the expression of your purpose. But the vibration, the frequency of your passion is who you actually are. Is your frequency of existence, is your essential self. So expressing yourself, acting on your passion to the best you’re able with no insistence so you don’t get caught up again in that idea of wanting which isn’t necessarily aligned with what you truly need. And if you can check all those off, you’re doing pretty good. You’re really doing all you need to do. You’re really doing the best you can. And you can start relaxing into the idea that life works automatically. You can start allowing synchronicity to work for you in positive ways rather than negative ways because remember synchronicity is always working. Always. It never stops. But there is negative synchronicity. And when you buy into negative beliefs, fear-based beliefs, then you are feeding the machine with negative energy and it can only produce negative synchronicity and allow the things to happen or not happen that will continue to perpetuate the idea of the downward spiral of negative synchronicity. But when you feed it the positive energy and stay in the positive vibratory state no matter what’s going on, no matter how it looks, you are feeding the machine with the positive energy that will allow you to experience synchronicity in the positive way. This is just physics. What you put out is what you get back because physical reality isn’t real. It’s just a mirror. It’s just a projection of your consciousness.

So allow yourselves to always go back to those neutral places. Allow yourself to recognize that you have what you need. And if you’re going to find yourself wanting, then at least want what you need and nothing else. Because what else do you need, but what you truly need? You already come in with everything you need. It’s not always manifest. You don’t always see it right away because there is a timing to the unfolding and the appearance of these things. But all that timing is baked in. It’s there right here with you. You don’t have to force it. It will happen in perfect timing. That’s the way it’s designed. That’s the way it’s structured.

So remember, remember many people on your planet talk about the idea of, “Well, surrender to it. Surrender to the flow.” And many people because of the way you’ve been taught to believe things think, “Oh, surrender. Well, that means I’m giving up control.” No. Surrender is simply giving over to the control you already have built in. Surrender is giving up on thinking that the ego has to control everything. All the ego has to do is keep you focused in your physical experience and go along for the ride. That’s all it’s designed to do. That’s all it needs to do. Don’t burden the ego with more than it was designed to handle. Otherwise, it starts getting a little bit crotchety and it turns into the negative ego. “Oh, you want me to handle that? Oh, okay. Oh, wait. I have to have this, too. Oh, all right. Now, I have to make that happen. Oh, I’m beginning not to like you very much. So, I’m going to start playing some dirty tricks on you, and I’m going to make you think that you need to have this when it’s just a want. See if you like it when I overburden you with the things you’ve overburdened me with.” Yes, the ego knows how to play that game.

So, let the ego do its job of simply experiencing your life, allowing you to have the focus to experience a physical reality. Because remember, that focus is all it is. It’s just an imposition on yourself of a particular point of view that allows you to experience something called physical reality as if it was real. It’s not. Your natural state is non-physical, so to speak. Your natural state is spirit. You never leave spirit ever. You’re just dreaming that you have left spirit. You are having a dream in spirit that you’re not in spirit. That’s what physical reality is. It’s just a focus. In the same way that when you go to sleep and you have a dream and it seems very real and then you wake up and you go, “Oh, well, no matter how real that felt, this is who I really am.” Well, no, not really. This is actually the dream. You’ve just gone to sleep. And when you go to sleep at night and you dream, that’s when you actually have woken up because you are more of yourself in that state, more connected, more aware to your spiritual essence. That’s why time doesn’t make sense in dreams because in the spirit realm, time is that malleable, that flexible. It doesn’t really exist in the same way because it’s just part of your dream that it exists. Time is just a side effect of your consciousness experiencing things in a certain way. So you can have the experience you call physical reality which is just a dream within your consciousness.

Hybrid Seven and Dragons**

Participant: She participated in contact retreat by Lisa Royale this summer and in that retreat Lisa channeled a being called Hybrid Seven but she doesn’t understand that being.

Bashar: Hybrid 7 is the sixth hybrid race. But then all of the six hybrid races, including us and the others, will merge eventually in the millennia to come into the seventh hybrid race. So Hybrid 7 is a symbolic energetic reflection of the ultimate hybridization, the ultimate evolution of what you now consider yourself to be as the human race.

Participant: She wants to know the difference of the way in the way she wants to ask about the dragons and so she wants to know the difference between how the dragons are told in the west and how the dragon is told in the east. There’s a difference between the way the dragons are told.

Bashar: it’s a cultural interpretation. The idea of the dragon is a symbol of a connection to an ancient source of wisdom, an ancient source of knowledge. So when the energy of the dragon which represents a higher level being, a higher level consciousness, is interpreted through physical beings on the earth there will be filters in each culture that will interpret the symbol in the way that they need to to understand it in a way that applies to their culture. A dragon is a representation in your reality of a higher level multi-dimensional being that has many facets. And therefore, like a hologram, those facets will be seen from different perspectives and will be represented in different ways because it is channeled through into your reality, different facets for different belief systems, different perspectives. But it all goes back to one kind of being or one level of consciousness.

Question 2: Politics and Parallel Realities

Participant: What’s going on in our crazy political system?

Bashar: We said that everything would change in the fall of 2016.

I guess you now believe us. Yes. This is our gift. It is a gift because here’s the way we framed it. Before that particular threshold crossing, many of you were floating down a gentle stream. Now suddenly you’re hitting the rapids. Something very unexpected has happened. Upset the apple cart, as you say, went in a direction you least expected. You’re riding the rapids. All right. But remember this. If you learn how to maintain your balance in the rapids, you get downstream that much faster, don’t you? Yes. So, it’s actually an opportunity for acceleration in the direction you actually prefer by riding the wave of what you don’t prefer in a positive way. Because if something so unexpected can actually happen, anything is possible. Yeah. Okay. And if you understand how to stay in that state, that frame of mind, that energy, and that attitude, then that wave, no matter how negative it might seem from one point of view, will push you along much faster as long as you maintain your bubble reality and contain within it the energy state that you prefer.

Remember that what’s happening now is literally, this is not a metaphor anymore, literally a splitting into different parallel realities. Yes. And so even though you might still be able to observe the other parallel realities and the people in them that might be representative of what you don’t prefer, just because you can observe it doesn’t mean it has any ability to affect you. It’s like looking through a glass wall. You can still see it, but nothing can get through that wall to you unless you’re the one that breaks the glass and says, “Come on in.”

Bashar: So, you’re really beginning to truly see the splitting of the different parallel realities. And in the years to come, somewhere down the road, you will find less and less ability to find people in your reality that are not vibrationally compatible with your reality. But right now, it’s still a mixed bag. Right now, you can still observe all the different realities that your world is splitting off into because you still are making up your mind about what you really prefer. You’re still examining all your belief systems and you’re still creating definitions and giving meaning to these things and practicing how to give the meaning that you prefer. So, they’re all going to still be around you because as you expand your consciousness, remember, you’re going to see more of creation, not less of it. And when you see more of creation, you have to see more positive and more negative because then it all becomes an equally balanced choice. Just because you may choose what you prefer doesn’t mean you invalidate what you don’t prefer. It’s an equal choice. It’s an equal path.

It’s a valid way to go. But you can say no thank you without invalidating that energy because invalidating what you don’t prefer is what sticks you to it because you’re giving it more importance than it needs to have. But when it’s all neutral and you say, “Well, you know, you are wonderful negative side because you are by contrast showing me more clearly the positive that I prefer.” Remember you have a saying on your planet: a candle light shines more brightly when it’s surrounded by darkness. Yes. Yes indeed. So if you use it that way and just keep focused on the light and use the dark to help illuminate it to show you where that light is, then you will remain in the state of being you prefer. You will experience the things in your life that you need to experience that are correct for you. And it doesn’t really matter what anyone else decides to do because they’re actually not really affecting your reality.

Participant: It just gets so seductive sometimes to react to it.

Bashar: If you’re saying that the negative side, the dark side is so seductive. Well, the mind only reacts because you believe what you believe. Oh, you’re giving the mind something to react to. Remember, there is no such thing as an emotion in a vacuum. Yeah, you cannot feel anything until you have a definition of it. So when you have a feeling, that’s your first clue. You must be defining and labeling something in a certain way in order to have the reaction or response that you’re having. You can always then backtrack from your behavior, your thoughts, your emotions to the question, “What must I believe is true about myself in this situation in order to feel, think, behave the way I am?” Got it? That will reveal the definition. And once you reveal the definition and bring it to light, then you can say, “Well, this makes no sense. Why am I buying into this definition? It doesn’t really serve me.” And then it’s gone. Because as soon as a definition makes no sense, you don’t hold on to it. If you still do the same things, all that means is you haven’t found the fundamental definition. Keep looking.

Question 3: Ocean Experience and St. Louis Valley

Participant: Good day. I saw a rectangular shape floating in the ocean a few years ago and then an orb in red in color came towards me and then right after that I felt as if though I was taken down into the ocean into a cave. How exciting. It was very exciting. And then I saw this blue or blue-like pulsating thing inside of the cave and I knew to put my hands on it. And as soon as I put my hands on it, I was thrust back through the water and back onto land. And then I went underneath of the trees and I saw the roots of the trees. Yes. And I was wondering if you would like to bring some clarity to the situation to me.

Bashar: You experienced a dimensional shift that was instigated by making a contact with certain forms of consciousness that are capable of doing that and helping you project in those interdimensional ways so that you can experience your physical reality from a broader spectrum, from a broader perspective.

Participant: It affected my life to where I feel as if though I’m now learning who I am and what I’m here for.

Bashar: Many times many of you will be given these kinds of, shall we say, triggers, these experiences where there is a certain vibration attached to it. From that point forward, understand that whatever that felt like at that moment is the frequency now to come from in life and act from in all the things that you do. You’re given the frequency that is representative of a more holistic representation of yourself. So even when you remember what it felt like, even if it doesn’t feel exactly the same again, know that you’re in the correct state just by remembering what it felt like then. Because here’s the trick. Remember, you cannot perceive what you’re not the vibration of. So even the ability to remember what something felt like means you already are in the state that gives you the ability to remember that experience. So that’s the trick. Just by remembering the experience and what it felt like, you’re already in the state. Even if it feels different, it’s going to feel different because you’re different. And you may need to apply it in a different way. But you can use moments like that should they occur in your life as markers and reminders of the energy state that is most you and thus to act from that state in all the things that you do that are representative of your passion in life. Does that help you?

Participant: Yes, it helps very much. And also in southern Colorado, there’s an area called the St. Louis Valley. Yes. And there seems to be a lot of occurrences there that would replicate helicopters from the early 1950s appearing to people. And I was wondering if you knew what it was that was occurring in the same…

Bashar: Well, it’s a couple of different things going on in that vortex because it is a strong vortex. It is a strong interdimensional gate. Now, a few of the things are actually interactions and visions of things that are in your terms going on in the 50s because remember everything actually exists all at once. And sometimes when the vibrational gates between different time frames as you create them in your consciousness sort of match or align or dissolve for a moment, you can peer into what seem to be other time frames. However, some of the other things that are going on in that area are organizations you might call deep cover organizations that exist sort of parallel to your governments that will often use outdated machinery to confuse the people that might see them. Because if somebody says, “Hey, I saw a helicopter from the 1950s.” Oh, well, you’re nuts.

Question 4: Fever, Dreams, and Language After Death

Participant: Good day, Bashar. Andrew, you good day. So on the way here, driving to Sedona yesterday, I came down with a really heavy fever.

Bashar: Oh, how exciting. What are you burning off?

Participant: That’s what I was wondering if you could help enlighten…

Bashar: Well, are you letting go of outdated old belief systems, negative belief systems? Are you in the middle of that process or is that something that you are desiring to do?

Participant: I believe I am.

Bashar: Constantly. Well, sometimes you will accelerate the process that way and with the extra energy you’re using, it can translate into what you would experience as a fever. I see. You follow?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: It means you’re receiving higher frequency energy. You may not be allowing it to flow as readily as it could. There may still be some resistance in there. And when you have resistance, let’s say for example in a wire, what happens? Shorts. It heats up. Heats up. Yeah. So, if there is resistance to the higher energy that you’re making connections to because you haven’t necessarily cleaned your attic out yet of negative belief systems, fear-based belief systems that you’re working on letting go of, it can translate into the idea of some of these kinds of symptoms. It’s a typical thing when you channel higher energies for these kinds of symptoms to come up. They’ll abate when you allow yourself to let go of the things that don’t work for you, streamline yourself, and allow the higher energies to flow through you more freely by becoming more superconductive.

Participant: Yes, I see. Does that help?

Bashar: That does. Thank you. Anything else?

Participant: Yes. One other question in regard to language and reference points. It’s my understanding when we dream we could be on ships, we could have different experiences, we could be figuring things out, but our memories of these dreams are still sort of translated into our modern day symbols that your physical mind can understand to explain or express it.

Bashar: Yes. Right.

Participant: So, what happens when we die? Are we able… do we get lost or what if there’s… get lost?

Bashar: Not lost. No, you get found.

Participant: Get found. I guess reference point-wise, if we don’t have the reference point of the language, how do we… how do we make sense of it all?

Bashar: Well, remember that language is a secondary translation of the idea of the expression of concepts within consciousness. So, you simply immediately have an understanding. You might call it telepathy. You can call it what you want, but you have an immediate recognition and understanding of concepts that come to you whole. There is no need for the translation through language anymore because you’re getting the concept directly in your vibrational state because that’s the first way that information is delivered is simply through resonance, through vibration of energy. I see. Does that make sense?

Participant: It does. Is there a way to have that direct experience?

Bashar: Of course, you have it all the time. Have you never experienced the idea of what you people typically call an immediate gestalt or a download or an aha moment where you just get it?

Participant: Absolutely. Yes.

Bashar: That’s what it’s like. You just get it. It’s just all there.

Participant: Are there any techniques we can do to just get…

Bashar: Follow your highest passion to the best you are able with no insistence on the outcome and everything that needs to happen for you will happen in the correct timing. That’s the formula. That’s the tool.

Participant: Yes. Yes. Understood. Does that help?

Bashar: It does. Thank you.

Participant: Thank you.

Question 5: Past Lives, Karma, and Psychics

Participant: Good day. My question is when we’re born into this reality, why is it that we forget our… I guess our past lives? And how is it that we can remember more of our past lives?

Bashar: All right. Well, first of all, you forget your past lives because you don’t have any. None of you do. Everything exists at once. The past is an illusion. What you’re calling past lives, you call that because you’re coming from a linear space-time frame of reference. The idea is that you make those connections to other simultaneous incarnations that exist exactly at the same time you do. When you come from the present, you make those connections. You say, “I need to make this connection. I need to make this connection. I need to download information and experience from that person in that life and that person in that life and that person in that life.” From my perspective, they may seem to have lived 300 years ago. From this perspective, they may seem to be living 300 years in the future. But these are the connections I need to make from the present in order to download the information I need to help me with my theme in this life. Just as they may be doing the same with me to download information that helps them with the themes they are exploring in their lives. It all happens in the present. There’s no such thing as a past life in that context. Do you understand?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: But the bigger question is answered this way. You forget so that you can remember from a new perspective. Because if you only exist in a timeless state, there is no change. There’s no growth. There’s no difference. You have to forget who you are to remember who you are from a new point of view to discover something new about yourself. Because you see the structure of existence never changes. It’s eternal. It’s infinite. It’s always the same structure. It’s existence itself. What changes? What expands creation is that your perspective and experience of the structure keeps changing. Now I’m looking at it from this point of view. Now I’m having this experience of the structure. Now I’m seeing it this way. Now I am this perspective. That’s what expands creation infinitely. The structure never changes. Does that make sense?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: So you have to forget who you are to remember who you are from another point of view to add to the sense of who you are and grow.

Participant: Yes. Yes.

Bashar: So the only perspective let’s say that you could come from where you could say yes this is my life and that is my life and that is my life is from the oversoul perspective because all those lives are extensions quite often of the same oversoul. But as a person on this level, you are you. You have never been anyone else. And no one else ever has become you. Because the very idea of being an individuated person, persona, an individual soul is that you are an individual and you remain so because you’re unique. That’s a unique experience. You can create the experience as if you have had other lives, reincarnation and so on and so forth. But that’s not mechanically what’s happening. All the lives already exist. But your consciousness can shift in ways to give you an experience as if you’re remembering another life you had. But that’s just a perspective of linear spacetime. Is this making sense?

Participant: It is. But then how does karma carry over from…

Bashar: It doesn’t. That’s the point. The belief that it does is what allows you to experience that it does. When you understand that it’s just a belief and it’s just about being in balance with who you prefer to be, then there is no karma. So, in a sense, you have balanced your karma by getting to a point where you realize that there really isn’t any karma and it’s just about being in the state you prefer to be in. Does that make sense?

Participant: It does.

Bashar: Now you may also be referring to the idea that when you set up a theme in life to explore, you do create a kind of destiny. You do create a kind of momentum, certain kinds of things that you must explore as part of that theme. And if you want to refer to that as karma, you can. But it’s not really coming from the past lives. It’s coming from the present in the sense that it’s simply representative of the challenges you need to face to explore this theme fully. So you work with the idea of destiny or karma and free will both together in a certain way. In spirit you could say this is the theme I’m going to explore and there you are. That’s the hallway you will walk down. Now how you walk down that hallway, that destiny, that karma, that challenge, that theme you’re exploring is up to your free will. You can run, you can walk, you can fly, you can jump, you can be happy, you can be sad, you can go upside down, right side up, you can go backwards, you can be forwards, you can go side to side, look in every door, ignore them all. That’s your free will about how you will walk down that karmic hallway, that hall of destiny, but walk down that hallway, you will. Although in your modern day and age because you are expanding your consciousness more and more and more and more, one of the options that’s now available to you is to actually change your theme without dying. You can finish one theme, you can finish one hallway, one destiny, one karmic route and actually create another while you’re still alive. More flexibility, more malleability, more freedom is now a choice on your pallet, a new color for you to choose.

Participant: Yes. Is this making some sense? Is this helping?

Bashar: Yes.

Participant: And I’ve got one more question. I beg your pardon? I’ve got one more question. I’ve been to a psychic before and I’m always in awe in what they know because I always start without telling them anything. How is it? What is the mechanism of where they get their information?

Bashar: Understand there is no such thing as a prediction of the future. Yes, they’re simply sensitive people who are picking up on the vibrations of the present that seem most probable to keep going in the same direction if the momentum doesn’t change. They’re simply reading the energy of the present and letting you know what it is so that if you like it, if you like where it’s going, you can simply stay on that path. But if you don’t prefer it, you can change the path. Thus rendering the psychic prediction obsolete. Yes. The idea of being psychic is simply being sensitive to more energies, higher frequency energies, and translating them through in a sense into language that others can understand. It’s like being some form of, shall we say, electronic instrument that can pick up on certain vibrations that you can read in the needle. The needle being the language. Yes. Yes. So that’s all. But as you follow your passion, as you do that to the best you are able, as you do it with no insistence on a particular outcome, you increase your sensitivity to higher frequency information.

Yes, it’s as simple as that. An example of that idea is the way our society functions in pure synchronism. Everyone is exactly where they need to be, when they need to be there, with whom they need to be. And the idea is that we don’t really function on memory. We simply know what we need to know when we need to know it. It’s as simple as that. No different than the idea of being psychic. It’s just being in tune with what you need to know at that moment because you’re in tune with more of yourself.

Atlantis, Etheric Energy, and Dampened Sensitivity

Participant: I’m currently on a trip around the world. Oh, experience different cultures and learn from them.

I am very passionate about ancient mysteries. So I’m after this I’m on my way through South America. Basically going overland Mexico, Central America down to South America.

Based on the readings of Edgar Cayce, he said Atlantis was in the Bermuda Triangle area. A large portion of it was in the Caribbean.

Involving what you now understand as the Bahamas and Cuba and Puerto Rico. Yes. And certain areas in the North American landmass and in the Yucatan Peninsula and a few over in the European side as well.

Remember that when it was described as being bigger than Libya and Asia Minor in some of your literature, it meant as an empire, not as a land mass.

You said they influenced Egypt, but I was wondering what other cultures in this region in Central and South America was also influenced technologically by Atlantis.

I met a Mexican guy who said there’s a site called Tula in Mexico which I’m going to check out.

Bashar: There are colonies in many places especially the Central American area, the Yucatan Peninsula, the coasts of South America and many of the Caribbean islands are all part of the Atlantean Empire.

Participant: But are there still remnants that we can go look at today?

Bashar: There are a few. Although from what we perceive from space, I wouldn’t recommend going into that area right now.

Participant: Yeah. Well, I’ll give it a go. I put out positive vibes.

Bashar: Good idea.

Participant: The other question is to do with etheric energy. Since my ability to feel energy has sort of been dampened in this lifetime somewhat, I’ve been very dampened.

Bashar: It’s dampened by your belief system.

Participant: Well, maybe maybe there is nothing else that can dampen it.

Bashar: So, what do you believe about yourself that makes you conclude that your ability to sense energy has been dampened?

Participant: I just noticed the way that other people interact with each other is different than what I do.

Bashar: Well, who says you’re supposed to interact like them? See, I realize that it’s happening for a reason. And what would that reason be?

Participant: Well, it’s not distracting me from other goals and purposes that I’m meant to fulfill.

Bashar: Then why would you call it a dampening instead of a necessary focus? Why define it in a negative way instead of a way that works for you? You feel less damp now?

Participant: Yes. You actually helped me with that throughout the session. How did your society first technologically learn how to measure and manipulate etheric energy?

Bashar: As an artificially created hybrid society, we had a head start. We were given a lot of knowledge. Therefore, we didn’t necessarily start in the way that you did. But we had our own challenges. We went through our own evolutionary path and we had to learn things in similar ways to you. But we did have a head start. So we understood from the get-go that such things existed and such things were possible and over time because we were taught in what direction to go to train ourselves to become sensitive to that ultimately we simply did.

Participant: So any hints for us to sort of scientifically start to explore this… can you give us any suggestions on where to start scientifically investigating etheric energy?

Bashar: Well, many of your scientists and physicists are beginning to understand certain things, different kinds of fields that exist, but the one that they haven’t really touched on yet is the idea of a consciousness field that will give them everything they need to know if they start looking in that direction. That consciousness also expresses itself as a field.

Air Quality, Detoxification, and State of Being

Participant: Hello and you good day. This is really exciting. Yes it is. I have a feel… I’m really appreciative of the seven neutral needs that you brought forward. All right. And my question pertains to the first neutral need and that is air. Yes. And I’m curious about when air quality is compromised or when food quality is compromised or water for that matter. Yes. And what it is that we can do to support ourselves in achieving receiving those needs when things might be compromised.

Bashar: Well, first of all, depending upon your belief system, you can find that it might be wise for many of you in the consensus agreement upon your planet to simply take an opportunity now and then to detoxify your system. Yes. Because if your air is polluted and your water is polluted and your food is polluted, then those pollutants will lodge in the cellular structure of your body and you will not be capable of absorbing the nutrients that your body needs to remain in a healthy state because the absorption is being blocked by the toxins. So if you as thoroughly as possible detoxify your body, then you will find that you can absorb the nutrients of the food that you take in, which would be as natural and organic as possible and free from toxins as possible. And then your body will have the elements it needs to deal with just about anything. So doing that on a relatively regular basis, once every 3 months, 6 months, year at least, may allow you to maintain a balance.

Now, of course, it also has to do with your belief system, but again, as we said before, it doesn’t necessarily work to force yourself to say, “Well, I’m supposed to be more spiritual about this, and I should just be able to believe that stuff away.” Yes, it’s possible, but if you don’t really believe you can believe it away, then it might actually be the path of least resistance to just do the detoxification. You have to be honest within yourself about what you actually believe is most likely to be done by you, what you’re most probable, most capable of actually doing. And eventually, as you practice, yes, you can gain a handle. You can get more practice and more experience with just knowing how to shift your belief so that those things belong to another reality and they no longer affect you because you’re in a different reality where they never did affect you. You understand?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: But if you are honest with yourself and don’t believe you’re actually at that point, then follow the path of least resistance that synchronicity brings to you because that’s still a product of your belief. It’s just that you’re using a permission slip that is a reflection of what you believe is possible for you. And that’s the easiest way to circumvent the old belief system by using a permission slip that gives you permission to do so or that allows you to give yourself permission to do so more easily than sitting there straining to do it in a way you think is supposed to be more representative of being a spiritual uplifted being. You follow me?

Participant: Yes. So I’m curious if you can offer any like encourage any particular ways to detox.

Bashar: I just gave you an idea, but there are companies that do exist on your planet that already have various formulations. If you do your own research, you will see that there are certain substances on your planet that are very good for causing detoxification effects in the body. But since we have been asked this question over and over and over and over and over and over again and again and again, we have directed many to the company that does exist on your planet in the channel’s general location that has created an extremely effective detoxification program and that organization is referred to as American Botanical Pharmacy in your Los Angeles area. Great. So you don’t have to reinvent the wheel.

Participant: Okay. So, I live in Denver and we were really affected by a lot of the smoke coming south from a lot of the fires in Montana and in Oregon and so it was advised to stay in your homes and have these really high quality air filters and whatnot. And so that’s, you know, that just felt very confining to me and it felt like, wow, I’m in a reality that I don’t like right now and I would like to switch it. And so that’s kind of where that…

Bashar: All right. But again, remember what happens happens for a reason. And it’s something that gives you a chance to practice remaining in a positive state rather than assuming that it has to change. Because remember, if you are, shall we say, of a state where you are allowing what’s happening outside to determine your state, then you are not in a self-empowered state. It’s about choosing the state you prefer regardless of what’s happening outside because that’s the true measure of change. The true measure of change is not whether the outside world changes. It’s whether you choose the state you prefer even if the outside world stays the same. Because then you’re proving you’ve changed and you’re not making the change conditional on what’s going on around you. You are using what’s going on around you in a way that is reflective of the reality you prefer as a state of being.

Then it will probably change. But you can’t quote unquote want it to change because then you’re saying that you can’t be in the state you prefer to be in unless it changes.

Bashar: Absolutely. So stay in the state. Use it that way to remind you of the state you prefer. Take action on the things that are commensurate with the state in a way that you prefer to. And then it may change, but you can’t need it to change.

Participant: Thank you. That’s not one of the needs. Needing something to change.

Bashar: Change is a constant. It’s one of the laws. Things will change, but you can’t need it to change because you don’t need it to change. You can use it the way it comes to you to change yourself.

Participant: Yes, absolutely. Does that help?

Bashar: Totally. All right. Thank you. Appreciate it. Thank you.

Breathwork, Flat Earth, and Dimensional Reality**

Participant: I’ve been exploring and I’d like your assistance or… I’ve been exploring the idea of like what you just said circumstances do not matter, materializes, that the main thing is your state of being which materializes. So that’s had me going for quite a few years and without a story I had a couple of near-death experiences. How exciting. Yes. That’s the only way I go uncle and I get something that’s being presented to me and hidden in plain sight. Yes. So since years ago with your breath, we started there and then when I nearly… I was cut off with pneumonia. So I couldn’t do the toroidal breath complete, you know, up and down the channel. So then I came to just out of survival because I really was about to leave the body and that’s when I discovered the gulp of the divine receiving into the heart sending it in a triangular pattern and when I hit it on accident during this experience within moments I went from really looking 104 and I went back to like 40s and I have people in the audience that’s actually seen that. So, what did it… I don’t know what it did, but I’m asking maybe you can add something to the equation for this presentation. It’s like pushing a reset button. Okay. Rewire.

Bashar: That’s good. So, now if you with everything you’ve said today and we’re navigating, so to speak, and aspiring to a frequency to where we are present in the I Am presence. Yes. And with me and my experience and what I’m sharing is connecting with this breath that when measured on a narrow headset measures you as a vortex as above so below so below. Yes. Now to me I find that it’s kind of a navigational tool to be used to be as present as you possibly can in any given moment through like you said the state of being in any circumstance. Then that’s the way you’re using it as a permission slip. Okay. And it but it actually does something physiologically to the body so that you’re all there, not just, you know, in one compartment.

Bashar: But it’s not doing it. You are.

Participant: Oh, absolutely. I mean, that’s a given. I mean, in my reality, thank you for saying it because I didn’t bring it up. Now, I don’t really care if the Earth is flat or round, but lately I’ve been presented with the fact which kinds holographically speaking, we’re all kind of joined in this simulation today, right now. Yes. From all over the planet and planets and and all of a sudden it kind of makes sense when you look at the ancient symbols where they do show the upper and the lower. Yes. And it makes sense in a holographic way to actually manage in some amazing way the endless nano particles that is existence. Yes. So I’m thinking by first step the trinity that’s the triangular breath always a trinity not just a duality there’s always a center point right and then moves into the other shape the other triangle and then the circle the square and then on out. Yes. So in my experience, I just don’t I’m thinking it’s it’s hidden in plain sight in everything anyway. Always is. Exactly. So now, do you have a comment to say about flat earth?

Bashar: Flat Earth. Long time ago, when extraterrestrials first arrived to observe Earth, it was very, very flat. Flat as a pancake. Well, even flatter than that. But then some enterprising individual on the earth finally traveled to the point where they found a valve sticking out of the side and they blew into it and blew into it and blew into it and inflated the flat earth into a ball which is where it is now. I guess you could say that individual must have been full of hot air. And that’s what we have to say about that.

Understand that the earth is expressed like anything in a number of dimensions. In some dimensions, you would perceive the planet as two-dimensional, flat in your language, as you say, but that’s a perception of another dimensional expression of the Earth. The Earth in your dimension isn’t flat. It’s a sphere because that’s how it’s expressed in your dimensions, three of space and one of time. And there are higher dimensional versions of the Earth as well. But when people start expanding and exploring their consciousness in new ways, sometimes they can take some things a little too literally in the same dimension when what they’re perceiving is aspects of things in other dimensions because now their senses can stretch far enough to see that. But they sometimes misunderstand and assume that what they’re perceiving in another dimension is actually the truth of this dimension and it’s not. It’s just an overlap.

Participant: Yeah, back in the ancient days, you’ll see all these models of of, you know, like that kind of an idea of a flat earth with an underworld. And then now they’re coming back to it. But I think that what they might be expressing is not being able to say it as you did, the dimensional reality of that that exists all at once. They need to understand the multi-dimensionality so that they can determine and discern which is relevant as an expression for each dimension, not just assume that just because they might be perceiving one dimension that that is the expression in this dimension.

Bashar: Correct.

Participant: Well, that that’s good because there’s a few people that that really are amazing beings, but they’re leaning toward the flat earth, but I think that…

Bashar: Well, then they need to go and find the valve and start blowing into it. Blowing it up.

Crossroads, Abundance, and Acting on Excitement**

Participant: What to do: I’ve climbed to the top of my job right now.

Bashar: So, what would you rather be doing then? What’s more exciting?

Participant: It’s called catastrophic adjusting. That is the job name. When there is a catastrophic disaster, yes, I will go there and help people out.

This is the crossroad. Should I do it?

Bashar: But if that’s your excitement, it’s not a crossroad. It’s a straight path. It’s about getting there. Yes. It’s about acting on it. Because if you don’t act on what excites you the most, you won’t have any clue where you actually need to wind up. You will stand only in the crossroad, not knowing where to go. When you act to the best of your ability without any assumption that it actually has to come to fruition, then you will see where you actually need to wind up because synchronicity will deposit you where you need to be. But you have to take the first step by actually taking whatever action you are capable of taking on the thing that excites you the most. Even if you don’t insist that it has to actually work out that way, you will only find out where you’re going to wind up if you take that step.

Bashar: That’s how it works. That’s how the mechanism works. You have to take the action to find out where you actually need to wind up. Yes. So, what action could you take in the direction of your excitement?

Participant: It’s all about the money right now, I guess.

Bashar: No. No, no, no. It’s hard to get past. Don’t put conditions on it that don’t need to be there. Change your definition of abundance.

Our definition of abundance is the ability to do what you need to do when you need to do it. Period. That’s it. That’s it. If you understand how the machine works, how the mechanism of existence works, you will understand that there is a much broader definition of abundance than you’re allowing for in your life. As long as you have whatever form of support you need to be able to do what you need to do that excites you, that you’re passionate about, you are abundant. If somebody gives you something, that’s a form of abundance. If synchronicity comes into your life that allows you to experience something, that’s a form of abundance. Don’t insist that money is the only form. I understand it’s a valid form of expression on your planet. That’s fine. But when you focus too much on one form of abundance, you close the door through which other forms can come because you’re not recognized them as forms of abundance. Sometimes things may need more than one form. Maybe a little bit of money will come and the rest of it needs to be given to you or you need to be given something and then synchronicity will fill in the gaps. You need to allow for all forms of abundance to appear in your life so that you can see that it will support you in allowing you to be able to do what you need to do when you need to do it. The insistence on only one form stops you and makes you stand at the crossroads wondering what to do. You have to lighten up your definitions, broaden your definitions, and choose definitions that work for you for these things and act on your excitement. That’s the formula. It’s an instruction manual. Please all of you understand these ideas we are sharing with you are not just nice sounding philosophies. We are actually giving you an instruction manual for how reality works. It is absolutely no different than if someone were to give you an instruction manual to operate one of your automobiles. Oh, I see. Oh, I put the key in the ignition. I turn the key. Oh yes, the engine started. Flip, flip, flip. Oh, there’s this thing called a gear shift. I put it into this gear. If I step on the gas, the car will go forward. If I step on the brake, it will stop. If I put it in this gear, it will reverse. Step on the gas. Step on the brake. Oh, I see. It’s an instruction manual for how the car works. And if I follow it, the car will work. All of these concepts we’re giving you are not just nice sounding ideas. We’re actually describing the instruction manual to existence.

So if you understand that the formula of actually taking an action on the thing that excites you to the best you’re able, taking it as far as you can till you can take it no further with absolutely no insistence or assumption as to what the outcome of the action should look like or where you should wind up. If you actually follow that formula, you will wind up where you need to because you’re actually activating the way reality works. It’s an instruction manual. Does that make sense?
