Poker

Dreams, Poker, and Definitions

Asker

I really like something that you said earlier about, um, being in your highest excitement and, uh, always staying in a positive state. And I’ve, uh, adopted this belief, and I think it served me really well: that everything happens for us and not to us.

Bashar

Yes. And it happens through you, not to you.

Asker

Yeah. Uh, so today’s been a lot of, uh, really good reaffirmations of lessons I’ve learned and teachings and stuff like that. Uh, one thing I wanted to ask you was, uh, I’ve been a very lucid dreamer most of my life. And they’ve been becoming more and more clear. All right. How exciting. Yeah. Except I don’t know how to translate what I’m seeing or receiving sometimes. So if there’s any adv…

Bashar

Well, how does it feel? Uh, what state does it put you in whenever you can’t intellectually figure it out with your physical mind? Always go to the vibration itself. What state does it allow you to experience? That usually means that’s the state from which you need to act in life that would serve you best. So if you just get into the state, you will know whatever details you need to know. For most of those experiences, the most important thing is the state itself, not the details. Okay.

Asker

So I’ve been, uh, journaling every morning when I have the dream, what I can remember and how I felt. Um, so these are is it? I’ve been… I don’t know. Sometimes it’s… it’s really good. It’s really bad. I feel safe. Unsafe. Safe and unsafe. Yeah.

Bashar

What do you feel unsafe about?

Asker

Um, so the energy work that I’ve been learning and doing… um, there are entities that can attach to us.

Bashar

That’s just a belief.

Asker

Well, I can feel it. So yeah. I don’t… I don’t want to think about it. I… I don’t… I really don’t believe that it can affect me. But then I’ll feel like a compression in my chest, and I’ll have anxiety out of nowhere. [Laughter] And okay.

Bashar

It’s not out of nowhere. Where does it come from? Your definition. The one you’re buying into.

Asker

So that I’m allowing it in through that definition.

Bashar

Yes. Of course. You’re aligning with a negative definition. That’s what gives you the anxiety. Okay. Do you prefer that?

Asker

No.

Bashar

Then why are you aligning with that definition that doesn’t work for you? Okay. Is that simple enough for you?

Asker

Well, well said. All right. Um, so I am a poker player also. And this is an idea that I’ve been playing around with. Um, if… if I want to see a specific card that will give me a good hand, I try to visualize it before the cards run out. And sometimes I feel like I’m getting like superstitious, or it’s driving me a little crazy. Is this something that I can actually manifest in real time?

Bashar

In some senses, when you need to. But again, remember, you’re ignoring the third part of the formula: the expectations. Yep. Okay. Too much insistence. Too many conditions. You have to trust the flow. And that means whatever you get is exactly what you need at that moment. Okay. Because it’s up to you to figure out why it happened that way and how you can use it in a positive way. That’s why. Because the higher self knows what the card is you need to look at that moment, if only to show you that you might still be putting conditions on things by insisting on a different card.

Asker

Okay. And, um, I’ve been trying to learn when is a good time to leave. Because sometimes I will feel like a shift in energy and in what… in like the flow of the game. Then leave. Yeah. So okay. So just, I guess, learning to trust myself more when to leave.

Bashar

You see, you’re looking at the game as if it’s supposed to get you something, instead of understanding the game as a process that you’re going through.

That’s what’s tripping you up. It’s a process.

And since you can allow yourself to understand that you’re enjoying just going through the process, then whatever happens in that process, you have to know is what’s serving you.

It’s not about the idea of the cards having to be in a certain way for you to know you’re a winner.

So you may be testing yourself to decide: Do you just know that you are a winner in life regardless of the cards in your hand or not?

Most—that’s the process. Okay.

So no matter what the cards are, you won. Because you won something more important than whatever the stakes are in the game, which is just a symbol for everyone playing it of a process they need to go through to get in touch with different aspects of their definitions and consciousness.

That’s the real game of poker. Not the cards on the surface. That’s an illusion.

Physical reality isn’t real. You’re going through a process. You’re playing a very, very high-level game with one another that gives each other an opportunity to discover things about themselves.

But if you’re looking at the cards and attempting to win the stakes—I’m not saying you can’t, from time to time, when it’s your time to do so. And it will be, from time to time. And that’s okay. In perfect timing.

But if you’re not really playing the higher game, then you’re not really playing the correct game. You’re just playing the illusion game.

So play a higher game. See it as a process for everyone discovering something about themselves.

Whether the other players are doing that or not doesn’t matter. You’re doing it for yourself.

And you can see that the other players are actually doing it for that reason, even if they don’t consciously know it.

When you start looking at the game from that level, you will play a whole different game.

And you’ll be surprised at the synchronicities that occur. And they won’t necessarily be what they need to be to, quote-unquote, win the card game. But the synchronicities that you see will all be Aces for you.

Yes. Yeah. It’s simple.

But it—uh—the mind doesn’t want to make it seem that simple. So complicate the definitions.

Asker

It’s not the mind. Don’t blame the mind. The mind is just a mask. It’s the definitions you’re coloring the mind with that make it difficult. There is no such thing as an inherently difficult situation. Only your definitions make it seem so.

Bashar

Yes.

Changa, Tattoos, and DMT

Asker: Game. Greetings. And a you good day?

Um, the past I think of is not mine from this point. All right.

So, but we just use that as a reference. You can—whatever you decide you are now is who you are.

If you really, really know that that’s true, you can’t pretend. You can’t cover things up, gloss them over, ignore things that are there for you to look at.

But whatever you define yourself to be is how you will experience your life. And that’s what creates the idea of the effect of the past on you. You create the past from the present, not the other way around.

What’s around? What’s changa? What is changa? Yeah. The word is not translating into our reality. Can you provide a definition? Smoked by ayahuasca. All right.

It isn’t dissimilar from what we described earlier about the idea of letting the smoke, in a sense, disperse itself with intention.

It is infusing interdimensional realities with a statement of who you are so that you can receive the reflections that you need at that moment. So that you can receive the responses from the intelligence in the ayahuasca in the best possible way.

Does that answer your question? Way. Does that answer your question? Yes. Anything else?

Uh, what are tattoos? What are tattoos? See—do you mean on your body? Yes. What do you mean? What are they? I feel like I can grab them sometime.

Bashar: Well, yeah. You can. Because, again, people that place tattoos on their bodies are making a statement of intention, a statement of energy.

There are symbols on other levels, non-physical levels, higher dimensional levels, that are simply being represented and symbolized by the tattoos on the body. So you might simply be seeing the tattoos in the multiple dimensions in which they exist.

So I can—is there like a game I can play with them?

Bashar: Of course, there is. Use your imagination. There are many different kinds of games you can play with it. Okay.

Uh, what is DMT specifically? The substance or what? What’s like—what would I learn from it? What’s like—what would I learn from it?

Bashar: Well, why don’t you use it and find out?

Yeah.

Losing a Job and Hybrid Children

Asker: I’ve lived my dream for a very long time. Along with that dream is love. The love of learning and teaching.

Yes. That they go together. And so I taught at the university for, you know, my life.

My physical mind wasn’t really aware of this, but there was a whole group of us that weren’t tenured, and all—none of our contracts got renewed last year.

Oh. How exciting. It was very exciting.

What was really interesting was to see everybody’s first reaction was, “Oh my God, what are you going to do?” Right. Like, no income. How you going to survive?

And so I listened to you in my head, and I remembered, “Change the definition.” Yeah.

So I changed it to winning the lottery. So I decided that the change of not teaching at the university anymore was winning the lottery for me. All right. Very good.

And I’ve devoted my life to more learning, but on this spiritual side. Just really devoted to it.

And I’m wondering now, in that I’m in this part of my life, kind of the same part as Daryl is in, age-wise and body, you know, years here.

Yeah. And so I have a different kind of dream. Yes. That I want to dare to dream.

All right. Than like a career at this point. All right. Well, what would that be?

Well, I guess that’s when I—I kind of feel like a little kid asking. This is it. All right.

But or if—um, my dream that I dare to dream is to follow synchronicity. To let my higher self choose.

Bashar: In that’s not acting on a dream. You’re simply describing the mechanisms that allow you to act on your dream.

So you don’t need to focus on those. That’s the automatic part of the machinery. Okay. You’re not putting anything into it. You’re just describing the machine.

Is you all—always have to dare to dream? Then—or is painting or kind of feeling like a teen at the beginning of this transmission?

What did we say at the beginning of this transmission? It is important to act. To act. You must feed the machine so it has something to spit back out.

If you’re just describing the machine to yourself, then you’re just watching the machine run. You are designed to use the machine.

Now, if—if you want to look at the machine and understand the machine and teach about the machine to others, that’s taking an action. But if you’re just watching the machine, you’re not doing anything with it. Okay. Make sense?

Asker: Yes. All right.

That’s like saying, “I have bought this wonderful brand new automobile. I’m just going to stand here and look at it. Not going to drive it ever, ever, ever. Just going to appreciate the wonderful glistening paint job and the beautiful smell of the car and so on and so forth. But I’m never going to use it. So why did you buy it?”

Okay. Okay. Yes. Yes.

Second. Yes. Um, over all the CDs I listen to with you talking, answering people’s questions, I don’t believe I ever remember hearing a man ask if he had, um, hybrid children. And so they have. They have. I missed it.

I’m wondering if there’s anyone that doesn’t have hybrid children.

Bashar: Yes. Of course, there are.

Are there really? I kind of thought it was—I guess they don’t usually tend to wind up in these conversations with us. Okay. Some of them might.

But overall, because we are very strongly connected with people who are very strongly connected to the hybridization agenda, most people have some relationship to it in some way, shape, or form, whether they have hybrid children literally or not. Okay. Okay.

So does that then—I’m going to ask: Do I have any close enough to have relationships with?

Bashar: Yes. Yes. They have something they’d like to share with me.

Asker: Well, we’re just going to give you the literal translation. Okay. Get off the stick.

Oh, damn. Okay. Does that make sense to you? A little bit. All right. A little bit. A little bit.

And one question about memory. And I’m having a little trouble remembering. Oh. Um, it was—you have trouble remembering about memory.

Yeah. A little bit. How fascinating.

It is a little fascinating, considering I drive a lot of people crazy because I usually remember everything. And I sometimes wonder if remembering like too much, or can you be too smart? That it as know—

Bashar: It’s not about being too smart. Again, the idea is you just know what you need to know when you need to know it.

It’s not about having to memorize a whole bunch of stuff. Because if you don’t need that stuff right now, why should you remember it? Yeah. Why should you know it?

Question. You know, if you stay in the state where you know, where you know you will know what you need to know when you need to know it, you will know what you need to know when you need to know it. To know it.

Youstream Questions

Asker

Nania: How can you tell the difference between the natural process of the loss experience and when you are filtering through negative beliefs that you don’t need anymore?

Bashar

Sometimes it has to do with how long it goes on. There are natural timings for some of these things. Do you understand?

Asker

Yes.

Bashar

And therefore, you will generally find that somewhere between one to three years will be the natural process, depending upon the process that person may need to go through. After that, it’s usually the result of negative definitions and filters.

Asker

So what is the reason that we go through this? I know that there seems to be something about, as you bond with another person and you connect energies and everything, that when that person is no longer there, yeah, there’s some aspect of the self seems to need a process to regain, yes, themselves in a way that doesn’t include the other person in the same way.

Bashar

Well, that’s, in a sense, what the natural grief is for. It’s sort of similar to the idea of natural compression. The negative side being depression, but the positive side being compression, where you withdraw and go within yourself and rearrange yourself, reorder your thoughts, reorder your definitions, examine yourself, decide who you are. It puts you through that process. And the idea then is to come out emerged as a new person who understands something different and sees things in a different way and has a different perspective about life and your relationship to it. That’s what it’s for. That’s what the natural grieving process is for. It’s a kind of inner compression to re-identify yourself in a new way at a higher level of relationship with Spirit. But the idea, as we have said, is there can be a positive experience of that and a negative experience of that.

Asker

How would you relate that to the idea of resistance to reinventing oneself? In the sense that when you lose another person’s physical presence, yes, and then the resistance to reinventing the self comes from a belief and a definition. And realize that you’re being communicated with, and you will start receiving it as a communication instead of a loss.

Bashar

Yes. That’s so interesting. Because that’s very accurate. And it’s also reflective of the times that we’re in. Because perhaps in earlier times on the planet, people didn’t understand that there was this option of actually expanding to the point where you can connect with a dead person.

Asker

Well, the shamans did. Right. The medicine people did. But not the general populace. Although earlier on, much earlier on, most of the populace did, because that’s what the shamans and medicine people and high priests actually taught: is that life does go on. Certain cultures have, in a sense, forgotten that over time. Have unlearned that over time. But many of the earliest cultures on your planet knew this.

Bashar

Yes. It’s very interesting. Because now, when you lose someone in that way, you’re not losing them. But that’s the way it seems. Having the recognition that they’re asking you to stretch to connect, to learn a new way, a new awareness of communication. And it’s the love that you feel for that person that will draw you to do it.

Asker

Yes. And it’s the love you feel from them that will draw you to do it.

Bashar

And that’s another piece of it. Is recognizing that when the feelings come really strongly, and they are feeling like loss, you can actually recognize that the person is in contact with you at that moment.

Asker

Yes. And that it’s not necessary to stay in the state of loss.

Bashar

Correct. But just embrace the new way that the person is communicating with you. Yes. Because, again, remember, more often than not, tears are the chemical release of negative definitions that have anchored themselves in the body by creating a chemical component. So when you do grieve in the natural way, you are releasing the negative definitions through your tears. The chemical constituents of those negative definitions are being washed away. So yes, I know it’s a lot for people to go through. So that’s all right. We always have that empathy for anyone that… and it’s a very human thing that we experience. And that’s okay. And again, there’s no real hurry. Not really. Not ultimately. So thank you for that.

Asker

Can you talk about how we amplify our excitement energy based on a feeling rather than an image in our heads?

Bashar

Well, that’s the whole point. The image is to generate the feeling. Although you don’t necessarily have to have an image if you’re already capable of simply generating the feeling. Many incidents that put you in touch with that state of being, that feeling, are, as we said, specifically for that purpose. Just giving you the sensation, the feeling of the state of being that represents your high state at that moment, and from which to take all actions in your life. So yes, of course. If you’re familiar with what that feel feels like, you can certainly just allow yourself to remember what it did feel like. And understand that the trick is that the only way you could possibly remember what it did feel like is that you’re already in that state. Even if it doesn’t feel the same, because you can’t experience what you’re not the vibration of. So you actually have to already be in the state to even have the memory of having been in the state. That’s the trick.

Asker

So the whole idea is: Must there be an emotion associated with it? Or it can just be a… okay. Or even the idea of the sensation of excitement.

Bashar

Well, there will be a sensation. Okay. So there will always be a sensation associated with it. And because you are experiencing yourself as physical beings, so really what you’re saying is that, in a sense, you’re… your higher mind has… and your higher self knows the frequency that is representative of your highest excitement. Yes. And when you learn that frequency better and better and better, every time you do something that’s following your highest excitement, yes, what happens is that you start creating a stronger and stronger communication with the higher mind, because it recognizes that frequency. So do you? Yes. And it is literally the language of the higher mind. Right. And so now you have a language that you can speak in.

Asker

Yes. But I’m still thinking about the idea of the sensation itself. Yes. I guess getting more and more clear about what is the true… instead of anxiety, let’s say. Yes. Or instead of some other ulterior reason for doing something that you’re denying. Right. That would also create sort of a false sense of excitement, in a sense.

Bashar

Yes. You can disguise anxiety as excitement. You have to be clear within yourself and discerning what is the real truth within yourself. You have to be honest.

Asker

So is there a way that you can maybe practice the idea of honing in on the true frequency for yourself? It will still be different for different people, right? ‘Cause it’s always very unique to each person.

Bashar

All things. But that’s why we say one of the most general ways for everyone is to at least remember a time when you did feel that. Because the moment you remember a time when you did feel it, even if for a split second, you’re in that state. Even if it doesn’t feel the same as it did before, knowing that will allow you to act from that vibration. That’s a good trick. So another way you can do it, then, is by doing some activity that you did when you were a child. Letting yourself be in the moment. Yes. And then you’ll suddenly recreate that state. And bingo. It’s starting to get anchored. And again, really, the very fact that you let yourself conceive of the idea of reenacting something you did as a child means you already are in the state in order to have had that idea. That’s the trick. It’s not about reenacting it and getting into the state. You have to be in the state even to think about reenacting it.

Asker

Right. I guess you’re just amplifying it then.

Bashar

And remember, you’re reinforcing it. You’re reinforcing it.

Asker

Do you want to stop now?

Bashar

We are not stopping. We are simply allowing you to take a short break so that we may then share with you the meditation that we call the ABC Meditation to help smooth out and empower the energy in your area so that you may move forward in your lives in a positive and beneficial way without fear. So take a short break. We will resume with that transmission in a few minutes.

Asker

Okay. So we’ll reconvene in about 15 minutes. Everything okay? What? Okay. So looks like it’s about that time for the next exciting part of this experience, which is the meditation. And I, you know, no one does meditations like Bashar. It’s so amazing. Anyway. Um, also, this meditation is special in that it’s dedicated, um, to the people who have lost loved ones and everything that the city is going through. And so the thing that we thought would be the most healing thing that we could offer was this experience of this guided meditation and the energies that Bashar will share with us today. So blessings to all. Thank you all so very much for being here and everyone who helped to bring this about.

ABC Meditation

Become very relaxed in your seats.

And when we begin, and when the music starts, and when the lights begin to play, allow yourselves to focus on the center of the holotope.

And allow yourselves just to let go of the concerns of the day. Just begin to breathe easily and calmly. Let your music begin. Let your lights play.

And we will begin by recognizing that you have experienced a very challenging event in your area.

And so, in order to allow this energy to be gentled, to be smoothed, and for the collective consciousness in this room to engage with the consciousness of your city that you are in right now, and to spread through the city a loving gentility, a gentle hand, a reassuring hand of energy, and a reassurance of the heart.

And also for any who might also be within themselves experiencing the fear-based energies, the fear-based beliefs that allow them to feel that they must act those fears out.

This energy can aid and assist them to make different choices, to create a bubble reality within your present area that will give them at least the potential encouragement to go within themselves and find a more positive and beneficial way to express whatever they may be feeling as a sense of disconnection, as a sense of self-doubt, as a sense of frustration or anger.

So that they may know that they are worthy and capable of finding a different way.

So as you allow the music in and as you absorb the play of lights into your neurological net, understand that we are all now aligning and synchronizing and harmonizing in such a manner as to allow for a bubble of energy to race outward in all directions with every beat of your heart.

This common, soothing energy, this loving energy of encouragement.

We will together synchronize as you continue to breathe with the following pattern that will instill an amplification energy within the bubble that you are collectively giving off that speeds out from you, throughout the city and beyond.

This amplifying energy being harmonized and synchronized through what we will call the ABC Meditation.

Allow yourselves to repeat for the moment in your minds, as you watch the play of lights, what we are about to say.

And in looking at the holotope, see it as a representation of the lines of energy going out from the center. That the center is this place, this bubble, this location. And from it, all the lines of energy spiral and radiate out to the rest of the city and beyond.

It is beautiful harmonic energy that will provide more opportunity for people to get in touch with themselves in a more profound and positive way.

Just let it sink in for a moment as you prepare to repeat in your minds the following lines.

A: Awaken your connection to Source. B: Be in your Center. C: Choose a self-empowered path.

A: Awaken your connection to Source. B: Be in your Center. C: Choose a self-empowered path.

A: Awaken your connection to Source. B: Be in your Center. C: Choose a self-empowered path.

This is the vibration you are now putting out that will pass through all people in the city. They will sense it on whatever level is required. See them feeling it in their hearts, in their minds, in their spirits, deep, deep within their souls. Knowing that you are assuring and reassuring with a gentle hand, a gentle touch, a loving hand, a loving touch, an encouraging hand, and encouraging touch. That they, no matter what they may have been taught, no matter what they may feel is true, no matter what they feel within themselves in terms of doubt or unworthiness or non-deservability, let them know, as you radiate this harmonic energy outward, let them know that they are worthy. They are powerful. They are deserving. And that there is a better, better path. Encourage them to find it. Encourage them to seek it. Encourage them to know it exists. Repeat again in your minds:

A: Awaken your connection to Source. B: Be in your Center. C: Choose a self-empowered path.

Let it sink in. Let yourself be the focal point. Let that vibration race out from your center in a bubble of energy throughout the city and beyond. Calming. Soothing. Reassuring. Awakening. Being. Awakening. Being. Choosing. Connection to Source. The center of the being. The self-empowered path. Drift in this energy. Radiate this energy. You are the lenses that focus this energy. With every beat of your heart, a bubble of this energy, this frequency, is speeding out at the speed of light throughout the city and beyond. And now, softly, in a whisper, repeat out loud after me:

A: Awaken your connection to Source. B: Be in your Center. C: Choose a self-empowered path.

A: Awaken your connection to Source. B: Be in your Center. C: Choose a self-empowered path.

A: Awaken your connection to Source. B: Be in your Center. C: Choose a self-empowered path.

Yourself. Power.

Now allow yourselves now just to breathe. Feeling that energy radiating from you. That vibration passing through every cell of your body. Radiating from every cell, every atom of your body, outward through the city and beyond.

ABC. ABC. ABC. ABC.

As you then later in this day of your time wander through the city, or wherever it is you travel, all you need do is remember ABC. The Shand vibration that will encompass the totality of what we have said here in this meditational harmonic today.

And you will be able, from wherever you are, to activate that vibration anytime, from anywhere.

That will then burst out from this center point, from this bubble location, throughout the city and beyond. And wherever you are, from that point outward as well, creating a network of expanding bubbles of this harmonic and this vibration outward, overlapping, interconnecting.

Awakening. Being. Awakening. Being. Centering. Self-empowering.

A, B, C. Repeat after me: A, B, C. A, B, C. A, B, C. A, B, C.

A. Awaken. Awaken. Be. Be. Choose. Choose. Awaken. Awaken. Be. Be. Choose. Choose. Awaken. Awaken. Be. Be. Choose. Choose.

Awaken your connection to Source. Awaken your connection to—

Be in your Center. Be in your Center. Choose a—self-empowered path. Self-empowered path. Path. Self-empowered path.

Awaken. Awaken. Be. Be. Choose. Choose. Awaken. Awaken. Be. Be. Choose. Choose.

A, B, C. A, B, C. A, B, C. A, B, C.

Continue to breathe gently, easily, deeply, in a relaxed way. And as you gaze at the holotope and the intermix and play of all the vibrational colors, allow yourself to imagine and see that bubble of energy spreading out from the center, radiating and spiraling throughout the city and beyond.

And in the future, from wherever and whenever you happen to be, ABC. And it shall be.

Repeat after me: ABC and it shall be. ABC and it shall be. ABC and it shall be. ABC and it shall be. ABC and it shall be.

ABC and awaken. Be and choose. And choose. Awaken. Be and choose. And choose. Awaken. Be and choose. Choose.

Be this vibration wherever you go. This vibration is now always with you. It is part of your neurology. It is part of your cellular structure. It is part of your atomic makeup.

It is a core vibration that calms and soothes and encourages and loves and gently tells the story that everyone can awaken to their connection to source and be in their center and choose a self-empowered path.

A, B, C. Within yourself internally. A, B, and C. A, B, and C.

Awaken. Be. Choose.
