Negative Beliefs and Illness
Bashar (to Nania): This comes from Ustream. What is your response to the statement “I don’t believe in negative beliefs”?
That’s a negative belief, because you’re saying “I don’t believe in negative beliefs.” Therefore it’s a negative belief statement. A little bit paradoxical, isn’t it?
Next question: Is there any relation between a negative belief and a specific symptom or illness?
Yes, there can be absolutely. On an extremely simplistic level of illustration, you could say that someone that truly, truly believes that they are not worthy of living could in fact allow themselves to contract a disease that will wither them away and let them die. It can be that simple. There is usually a little bit more complexity to it than that, a few different kinds of ideas and issues mixed in, but that’s a simple illustration.
Regarding genetic issues along family lines — again, it depends on why that might have been chosen. It can be about the person simply saying, “I want to choose a life that has an automatic switch that will shut off at a certain time. I’ll do that genetically.” That’s just one of the easiest things to do: “I’ll pick a family line that I know that that’s likely to happen in.” And it can also be for a variety of other reasons: “I will choose this because what I will bring into this life by having this particular genetic condition will be of great value, not only for me to learn certain things, but of great value for the family that I’m born into to learn certain things that we’ve agreed I will help teach them.”
You have to take it on a case-by-case basis. That’s actually a really beautiful part of the idea — that sometimes people take on illnesses for the benefit of the other people in their lives. It may not be completely apparent. It takes everyone on a specific journey.
The idea that any time you see someone that’s ill, that must mean there’s something wrong with them — no, not necessarily. Remember, not all limitations are inherently negative. So it’s always better to approach any person’s illness with the idea that you don’t really know what the purpose of it is. And you can also ask the question, if you’ve been experiencing that for a while, “What might I not have had a chance to experience? How different might I have been had I not had this experience with that person or with myself?” That will usually illuminate to some degree the reason for that experience, because you start to realize, “I may not have learned this or that or gone in that direction had that not occurred.”
Participant: So how can one possibly accept or define the negative — that which we absolutely do not prefer — as equally valid as the positive, and at the same time not condone it?
Bashar: The idea again, first and foremost, is to understand — just like we said — not all limitations are negative, not all negativity is negative. In other words, there might be things that are created through the mechanism of negativity. Remember that when we say positive and negative, these are not value judgments. These are just descriptions of a mechanism and an energy. Positive is that which connects, integrates, expands. Negative is simply that which disconnects and in a sense diminishes, shrinks, isolates. These concepts in and of themselves are not automatically one thing or another — they’re neutral components of these ideas. Therefore, again, you can even use a negative mechanism to create a positive effect, just as you do impose certain limitations on yourself to create the experience of physical reality, and without those limitations, without those borders, without those definitions, without those guidelines, without those agreements, you would not be able to have that experience. So in a sense, imposing limitations of that type on yourself is a negative act because you are creating a sensation to some degree of disconnection from the greater self — but you’re using it for a positive purpose.
It’s important to understand that what we’re describing when we say positive and negative are not themselves inherently totally positive or negative either. That’s why it’s so important to understand, going back to the first question, that as you expand your consciousness, you have to become more aware of existence. And as you become more aware of existence, you automatically become more aware of the positive and the negative, and of course the balance point in the center being that existence is not a duality — it’s a trinity. And therefore, in becoming more aware of the negative as well as the positive, you’re just becoming more aware of more probabilities, and it’s up to you to decide how to use them. Because you can use a positive idea in a negative way, you can use a negative idea in a positive way. And that’s why you have the symbol called the yin-yang, where you have black on one side with a little bit of white and white on the other side with a little bit of black, showing you that no matter how much you might be on one side or the other, there is always the opportunity to recognize that a little bit of the opposite exists in each. So you can never become unaware of one side if you’re actually expanding your consciousness. The only way you can become aware consciously of one side is to actually be negative and diminish your ability to perceive existence.
So when someone says “I don’t believe in negative beliefs,” they’re actually diminishing their ability to experience part of creation, which gives them more choices — because it’s not automatic that you have to use a negative mechanism in a negative way.
Cats and Their Perceptions
Participant: I wanted to ask about cats — what they perceive and what they see.
Bashar: They can peer into other dimensions. They will often see things that are invisible to you. And by learning to communicate with them, by learning to vibrate on their level, you can perhaps also be guided by cats to see those things too, to peer into other dimensions.
Participant: Could you talk about what they do when they purr?
Bashar: It can be for a number of different reasons. As many of you know, it can be from a satisfactory or content space. It can also be communication on a variety of levels. Sometimes it can also be that they might be attempting to repair themselves from an illness or an injury — they may use it to vibrate themselves back into the proper state. It also has the effect on humans of many different things, such as reducing your heart rate, reducing your blood pressure. So it is primarily the idea of putting one in a state by matching that frequency that will be a beneficial state, bringing one back to zero or square one, so to speak. So they are good little reset buttons.
Participant: Are there any forms of higher selves of cats? What do they look like — the oversouls of cats?
Bashar: They can take other forms. There are some that will relate very strongly to certain higher forms that you experience as cats, that are not necessarily experienced exactly in the same way that you experience cats on your planet because they are a different form, but may contain or represent similar energy. There are different civilizations that may relate to those beings in a variety of ways, but the point is that you don’t actually know those civilizations.
Dialogue 17: Killing Time and Acting on Excitement
Participant: I find myself killing lots of time — wasting a lot of time.
Bashar: Have you been arrested yet? There was a double joke in there, because to be arrested means to stop time.
Participant: I want to be productive about my time. I want to make my time valuable.
Bashar: Well, it is as valuable as you make it. But the real question is, you seem to be saying that you’re not necessarily acting on your highest excitement every moment that you could be. Why not? Because if you’re acting on your highest excitement, you’re activating the organizing principle of synchronicity, which allows you the correct amount of time to do whatever it is that excites you — no more and no less. So if you want to fill the time appropriately, act on your highest passion to the best you can every moment that you can, with no insistence on the outcome, and time will regulate itself, organize itself through synchronicity to be exactly what it needs to be, no more, no less.
Participant: I have a challenge. I do not understand the emotions of excitement.
Bashar: You haven’t played enough with the feeling of excitement to know what is exciting for you? When we talk about the idea of excitement, we’re just using a convenient word in your language. Excitement doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re jumping up and down with your hair on fire. Excitement can simply be representative of the passion to be peaceful and quiet and calm sometimes. So we’re not necessarily saying you have to recognize it in the typical way most people will use it. But the idea is that whatever it is you’re attracted to, whatever it is that tugs you, whatever it is that feels correct for you — that’s still representative of your passion.
So at any given moment, out of all the options available to you at that moment, all you have to do is pick the one that’s even just the tiniest bit more attractive to you than any other option, and act on that first. For example, we will assume that you’re here in this dialogue today because it excited you to be here. Correct? Well, that wasn’t so difficult, was it?
Participant: I think I have attachment towards the outcome.
Bashar: Very good. Do you understand that this is exactly the opposite of what many people on your planet have been taught to think? What you need to understand is that having an attachment to the outcome is actually a limitation. Many people on your planet think, “Oh, well I am attaching to this outcome because I know that that’s the best possible outcome.” And what I’ve already told you is that you know nothing of the sort. You have to first admit you don’t know what the best outcome would be. You have to get into a space where you realize that’s true — you have no idea what the best outcome might actually be. You may think you do, but you don’t. Therefore, putting an attachment on a particular outcome is actually potentially limiting you from experiencing something much better than you were capable of imagining.
So when you understand that attachment to the outcome is actually a limitation, and you don’t prefer to be limited that way, you will stop being attached to the outcome because it will no longer make any sense to do that. If you don’t prefer to be limited by it and would rather have something manifest that’s actually better than you thought — that’s all it takes, that understanding. It’s a limitation.
Participant: Is it going to take me some time to really get that?
Bashar: Do you wish it to take some time, or do you want to understand that you understand it now?
Participant: I do understand it.
Bashar: But will you act like you understand it? Because remember, you can again have an intellectual comprehension of the concept, but if it’s not in your behavior, you don’t get it yet. If I ask you to take three steps forward, can you do that?
Participant: Yes.
Bashar: Do that right now. No time like the present. Did you do it? Take three steps back to where you were. Did you do it? Now, why were you able to do that? You knew you could. Did you sit there and go, “Well, wait a minute, I have an intellectual understanding that I could take three steps forward, I have a belief system that I could take three steps forward, I’m not sure, let me think about that?” You didn’t do any of that. You just did it. Why? Because you knew you could. You’ve done it enough times to know that you can do it. What you know, you do. If you’re not doing it, you don’t know it. You can assume that it’s all because of the many times you did it before, but that’s also not really true because you just know in the moment you can do it, regardless of whether you ever did it before. I’m talking about being in the present — in the present, you just know you can do it. That’s all it takes.
But if it’s not in your behavior, then you really don’t know it. You don’t understand it completely yet. You haven’t made it true for yourself. And you would simply need to ask yourself: what’s the resistance to allowing that to be true? That’s where you need to get in touch with those beliefs that prevent you from allowing that concept — that you know this and can just do this — to be true.
So what stops you from allowing the idea that you know how to do this to be true? If you do in fact allow yourself to move forward in this way as fully as you want, as fully as you need to act on your passion to act on your excitement — are you afraid that something negative might happen if you do?
Participant: I think that I would not know the step that I have to take. I think that I have to know beforehand.
Bashar: And do you understand that knowledge only comes with experience? So how can you know anything about the step until you take it and find out? You’re working it backwards. You need to reverse this. You have to take a step to know anything at all about the next step to take. You will know nothing about any of the steps if you don’t take the first one.
Participant: Is that where faith comes in?
Bashar: It’s not faith, right? It’s understanding how things work. I’m not telling you anything that requires the idea of faith. All you have to do is wrap your mind around the fact that what I’m talking here is physics. It’s just the way reality works. You have to take an action before you understand the consequences of the action or any information that’s connected to it that leads to the next step. If you don’t take the step, you go nowhere. You learn nothing. You learn by doing, not by sitting around thinking about doing it until you think you know enough to do it. The moment you actually do it had nothing at all to do with the amount of time you sat around thinking about doing it. It’s just that you finally got to a point where you were tired of waiting and finally decided to just do it. So until you are tired enough, you won’t do it. But when you get tired of waiting, you’ll do it. Simple as that.
Dialogue 18: Self-Worth and Making Different Choices
Participant: I have a general tendency to leave…
Bashar: Selectively deaf to certain words, because no one has a tendency. You are making a choice. You see, if you say “I have a tendency,” then that means it’s out of my control — there’s nothing I can do to change that. That’s what “I have a tendency” means. But if you say “I am making a choice to do something I don’t prefer,” at least you’re in the driver’s seat, and then you can logically say, “Well, why would I choose to do something I don’t prefer?” Now you have something to work with. If you say, “Well, I have a tendency to do this, I have a habit of doing that, it’s just a pattern, I can’t help it” — you have no control, you have nothing to work with, you have no way of changing that because you cannot change what you don’t own. You’re saying it’s not me. Of course it’s you. You’re making a choice, only because you were taught to make those kinds of choices. You can learn to make different choices. So make different choices. Don’t assume it’s a tendency.
Participant: You hear a lot of these things, but for some reason — for your reasons, yes. If you don’t prefer your reasons, change your reasons. Is that reasonable?
Dialogue 19: First Contact Symbol and Morning Ritual
Participant: I know your energy insignia symbol is the black pyramid with the light blue light behind it on a black background.
Bashar: One of them. It’s one of them.
Participant: While I’ve been meditating lately, I’ve been seeing an insignia that is similar. It’s a black pyramid, the edges of the three-dimensional pyramid are lit up with bright white light, and at the apex tip of the pyramid there’s a beam of light that goes straight out of it, and across that apex is like a very light rainbow. Every time I close my eyes to meditate and while I’m falling asleep, I keep seeing the symbol over and over again. I’m wondering, are you familiar with it?
Bashar: Absolutely.
Participant: Could you give me a hand? It’s the symbol — your interpretation of the symbol that actually represents the First Contact Specialists.
Participant: What do I do with that?
Bashar: I suppose you could get in contact with yourself.
Participant: Oh, that’s wonderful to hear. So that’s what I’ve been practicing.
Bashar: Oh, all right. So keep doing that. Use it however you wish. Things will come to you, you’ll be inspired. But it’s generally a representational symbol of the line of First Contact Specialists. If you want to call it a guild, I suppose you can.
Participant: As a permission slip, I have a little morning ritual I’d like to share with everyone. What I do is I fill a glass of water — I place it on a piece of paper where I’ve written gratitude, prayer giving thanks for love and abundance and wealth, and I put three crystals around the paper, and I put my hands around the glass, and I drink it. As I sip it, I’m giving thanks for the water. Could you tell us what is happening in that process?
Bashar: You are with your permission slip allowing yourself to alter the vibratory matrix of the water in a way that’s more aligned with the vibration you wish to match in life, so that it acts in a sense as a booster shot.
Participant: I have a riddle for you. How many eggs can you put in a one-foot square, one-foot deep empty basket?
Bashar: None.
Participant: Incorrect.
Bashar: One? Because after you put one in, it’s not an empty basket anymore.
Participant: I get it.
Bashar: There is purpose in giving you this riddle. Think about how to look at things from a new point of view, and you will always find the solution. As you say often, think outside the box. But in fact, what we’re telling you is there is no box.
Dialogue 20: The Definition of Love
Participant: I was wondering what is your definition of love, and how you live what you call love.
Bashar: By the way, that sounded suspiciously like a question. What we say in a sense is: unconditional love is the vibratory frequency of existence itself, and love is your translation of that frequency in physical terms. It’s the signature frequency of existence itself. So it is much more than emotional feeling — your emotional feeling is your translation and interpretation of that frequency in your reality.
Participant: So there are different frequencies of love?
Bashar: Yes. Different reflections of All-That-Is.
Participant: You said before that you are in a state of pure synchronism. In that state, the vibration of love is manifest in everything you do.
Bashar: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Participant: I want to go there.
Bashar: We’re not stopping you. And many of you do visit us in your dream time. But you can come to our world if you understand how to make the dimensional shift into our reality. It can be done.
Participant: Sometimes I work with Reiki and with energy, and a lot of our work is based on the chakra system.
Bashar: Permission slips. All tools, all techniques, all rituals, all objects are permission slips. What you attract with your belief system that says “I can use this to give myself permission to circumvent my present belief system and become more of who I am” — but you’re the one doing it. And the bottom line is that level of pure synchronicity that is life itself.
Dialogue 21: Passion and Purpose
Participant: Is there an optimal state of belief systems to have?
Bashar: The ones that are relevant for you to be who you truly are — whatever they may be. Remember that even when you divest yourself of all negative belief systems, you will still continue to divest yourself of any belief systems that are no longer relevant for who you need to be at that moment. They don’t have to be negative to let them go — they can be positive, they just simply no longer serve you in who you are becoming.
Participant: As we become what could we look forward to?
Bashar: Pure synchronicity.
Participant: Is that the purpose of experiencing life?
Bashar: Experience is the purpose. To know yourself more and more and more. It’s infinite. It’ll never end. It never began. It just is. So know yourself in all the ways that you prefer to, and keep doing that because it’s more experience. It’s fun.
Participant: It’s just stretching the mind — how far can we think?
Bashar: There are some things you simply won’t know on this level because you don’t need to. But when you go to different levels, you will know whatever is relevant for that level. The question really is: why would you really need to know more than you need to know?
Dialogue 22: Soccer, Passion, and Goals
Participant: I was passionate about playing soccer in college, and I didn’t continue to spend more time playing soccer because I wanted to finish my studies and get a good job, which I was also passionate about.
Bashar: Why? Why stop? What’s the reason that you changed? Was it really representative of your passion, or was it representative of a fear that something bad would happen if you didn’t?
Participant: It was based on a belief that I needed a good earning job.
Bashar: So what you’re saying is you didn’t believe that your passion could support you. Well, there you go. You see, you’re not acting on your passion. That’s a perfect example of refusing to believe that your passion can support you because you don’t have a complete definition of passion. Therefore you didn’t understand that if you actually allow yourself to continue acting on your passion, that in some way, shape or form, it has to by definition support you — unless you have beliefs that it can’t. That’s the only thing that stops passion from supporting any of you — is you have a belief that it’s not possible for it to do so. Otherwise you would see that it is capable of doing so. So you stopped yourself from acting on your passion with your belief system.
Participant: But in retrospect, I’m happy with my decision at the time because I’m happy with where I am.
Bashar: But you made the decision negatively, out of fear. You don’t know that you wouldn’t have wound up here anyway. The point is, if you’re going to wind up where you have wound up, why not get there through joy rather than short-changing yourself? So what you’re saying is that every action should come from a space of joy.
Participant: Yes.
Bashar: Because that’s your true self, and that will give you more options as to where that will lead you. You will always go where you need to go. And if you actually truly, truly needed to wind up where you say you’re happy, your passion would have brought you here anyway. You didn’t have to make decisions that were the antithesis of your passion to wind up in a place where you’re happy. So why not allow the journey to be just as enjoyable?
Participant: I have a sense of responsibility.
Bashar: Then you’re misunderstanding. Your responsibility might be focusing on following your bliss and your passion. That is your true responsibility. And again, response-ability — your ability to respond to your true vibration. That’s what contains everything you need. It will bring you everything you need. You just have to know that’s how it works. That’s all. You don’t have to second-guess yourself. You don’t have to take detours.
Participant: What do you have to say about setting goals?
Bashar: It’s all well and good to have what you call a goal, a visualization, an image that represents what you consider to be an ideal outcome. But when the picture — when the goal gets you excited about the visualization, about the picture — that’s exactly the time to completely and utterly drop it. Because again, its purpose is to get you in the state of being that will actually attract what you need. Because you don’t know that the goal you’ve set or the picture you’re visualizing is actually the best possible outcome. You don’t know that. But your higher mind does know what you need, and it will always bring you whatever actually will serve you best, even if it looks nothing like your physical mind thought it ought to — which is very often the case.
Dialogue 23: Right and Wrong, and the Mind-Heart Connection
Participant: Is there such a thing as right and wrong?
Bashar: As we said, there is positive energy, negative energy. The idea of the value judgment you’re calling right and wrong is simply: are you going with the flow and in alignment with existence, or are you resisting and going against the grain? That’s all it is.
Remember that you are an eternal, infinite spirit — something that you don’t necessarily learn in this particular physical existence. You’ll get it at some point. There’s no hurry, there’s no rush.
When you understand that making negative choices doesn’t actually serve what you’re looking for, people will stop choosing them. People that in your estimation, in your language, are doing wrong things are themselves devoid of any understanding of how to align and connect with their source of power. They have not been taught how powerful they are, so they can only imagine that the way to feel powerful — because what they’re feeling is an emptiness, trying to fill that emptiness — the only way they can imagine feeling that go away and fill that void is to look outside themselves and try to control things outside, control people, force people to do this, force people to do that, bend people to their will, dominate. That’s because they don’t understand what true power is or where it actually comes from — within. If they are taught how things work, they will not have to choose things that are misaligned with their true vibration. And then there will no longer be the issues of right and wrong. There will simply be the understanding: when I choose something that’s out of alignment, I’m damaging myself — even though I might be calling it something that I think gives me power, when in fact all I’m doing is expressing my belief that I am disempowered.
Participant: What is your take on the mind and the heart?
Bashar: The higher mind, head mind, heart mind work together in certain ways. The higher mind gives off a vibration of guidance to the true vibration of yourself. The heart kind of like a drum beats and reflects the vibration of the higher mind, but that reflection goes to the head mind, the physical personality, that then based on whatever belief systems it contains and whether it is in balance or out of balance, filters that energy and feeds that energy, reflects that energy back to the heart.
Now if the head mind is in alignment, in balance, then the vibration going back to the heart will be relatively similar to the original vibration of the higher mind, and everything will be in sync, everything will be in harmony, everything will be aligned. But if those belief systems filter that energy in a negative way, in an out-of-balance way, in a misaligned way, then the head mind sends back to the heart that misalignment, and the heart skips a beat.
So the idea is — boom, boom — but many people on your planet are boom, and the heart is not getting the energy it needs in the way that it needs to understand it to create a reality that is reflective of the guidance from the higher mind.
Dialogue 24: Positive Utopian Vision and Harry Potter
Participant: My cousin has a concept called a positive utopian vision show, where individuals can bring their passion, their enthusiasm, their joy for life to create their visions of a new reality. It’s sort of mutually not competitive but in a way builds on itself towards a crescendo where one common vision in the end is sort of manifested and focused on. I’m wondering what you and the realm that you represent feel about that.
Bashar: So guess how we feel about it? There’s any advice you can suggest in how to bring that into the world? Follow his passion with no insistence on the outcome. You’ve already heard the formula. The formula is no different for any situation or circumstance. Act on the passion to the best you’re able, with no insistence or assumption as to what the outcome ought to look like, and it will take you where you need to go.
Participant: I’m working on a vision to bring vibrations that people select into water, and bring that into like a water crock at home. I feel the immense responsibility of in a positive way being able to keep that intention.
Bashar: Then again, do what you can. Remember, there is no insistence that anyone has to participate other than you. But when you allow that state of being — that neutral state of being to be there and just act on your excitement for its own sake, not what you think it has to do — then you will find automatically it will attract others who also wish to participate in something that they relate to. So you don’t have to worry about that. It’s just about doing it, being the example of it, and allowing people to find you by following that vibrational trail.
Participant: I feel very passionate about it.
Bashar: Then you have your answer. Otherwise you would probably be passionate about something else. Because there are no accidents. Timing is timing. So if you’re passionate about it now, in some way shape or form, then that must indicate that its time has come — or you wouldn’t be passionate about it. Again, its time has come doesn’t necessarily translate as “I must see certain things happen in order for me to know that its time has come.” If you are excited about it, its time has come. Period.
Participant: What do you think of Harry Potter?
Bashar: You create in your reality stories and symbols that inspire you to reach higher, to reach deeper, to reach farther. And again, in this case it’s represented by the idea that you are all truly magical beings. That’s more of a representation of your true self in a sense, because you are creating this physical experience through a type of magic, if you want to call it that — because it isn’t really real. Your experience of it is, but it doesn’t exist by itself without you. It’s part of you, it’s an expression of you, it’s a reflection of you. It’s truly something you have conjured.
So it’s a good symbol for getting in touch with the idea that you are creating, you are manifesting your own reality just out of consciousness. You are casting spells. That’s where “spelling” comes from as a word. Your words, your language, are vibrations. They are spells that reinforce the idea of this so-called physical reality as if it were real. You’re casting spells.
That series of books and movies, in some sense, is a more realistic representation of what reality is. Yet many of you, because of the way you’ve been brought up, the way you’ve been taught, and the belief systems you hold on to, have chosen to use your analogy to be Muggles instead of wizards.
Dialogue 25: Breatharian Lifestyle and Synchronicity
Participant: Could you scan my energy from two hours ago and let me know if I’m vibrationally ready to adopt a breatharian lifestyle, where I’m nourished more by energy than by food?
Bashar: No.
Participant: Thank you. I didn’t think so. The hunger wasn’t the issue, it’s the emotional journey that I had during which I see as the problem.
Bashar: Do you see what’s the emotional journey that’s a problem?
Participant: Where I felt anxiety that I couldn’t do this or I shouldn’t do this. I was doing a water fast. The first two days I felt dizzy and felt I should stop, but after the third and fourth day everything returned back to normal and I felt I could keep going.
Bashar: It sometimes takes a while for your body to adjust to something like that.
Participant: Is there anything that I should do that you would recommend?
Bashar: May I ask you a question? Why do you believe you need to do this?
Participant: Along with following my passion, it gives me more time to pursue my passion — creating art, creating music, creating dance.
Bashar: So you believe that taking time to eat prevents you from expressing your art?
Participant: It does, especially for computer graphics. When I’m creating on the computer, it’s like I’m in my zone, so I don’t like to be interrupted. Eight hours doesn’t feel like eight hours — it can feel like an hour.
Bashar: We understand. But then at the end of that eight hours that feels like an hour — which by the way means you’ve only aged an hour, you understand — does it not seem that timing has arrived for you to do something else or nourish yourself or what have you?
Participant: Sometimes I forget about needing to eat.
Bashar: Do you feel like you actually need to eat at those moments?
Participant: No.
Bashar: All right, well then don’t. Are there times that come up that feel like you need to eat?
Participant: Sure.
Bashar: Well then eat at those times. Is this really that complicated? It’s following your natural biological cycle. That’s all. Act on your passion. Let the organizing principle of synchronicity continue to inform you of what you need to do next. So that when you are tired, you will be sleepy and go to sleep. When you are hungry, you will eat. If you’re not hungry, don’t eat. If you’re not sleepy, don’t sleep. Follow the natural biological rhythm that synchronicity provides for you, as long as you make sure you’re not forcing yourself to do that through some idea that you’re supposed to, or some idea that you’re missing out on something, or that it’s an interruption in your flow of creativity. Just let synchronicity show you when those things will actually be beneficial to allow you to continue your flow of creativity instead of looking at them as an interruption in it. Then they’ll come in a more natural way.
Göbekli Tepe
Participant: I saw myself at Göbekli Tepe. There was no moon, and I saw a meteor come and strike, and that’s why it’s gone. I don’t know if I made that up because I have a really bizarre imagination.
Bashar: You’re actually consolidating in one small time frame things that happened over larger spans of time. It was a center of learning — or was, in your language, a center for the training of certain ideas, and also a representation of ancient knowledge in symbolic form that was designed to be preserved for later generations.
This was because it was already understood that cyclical cataclysms like cometary impacts, meteoric bombardments do happen on your planet from time to time.
It was an attempt to preserve that knowledge for later generations that would dig it up. It was deliberately buried so as to protect it from the cyclic cataclysms that do happen on your planet from time to time.
Participant: Who deliberately did that?
Bashar: The civilization that was there deliberately buried it.
It was a training center up to a certain point that allowed for the reaching out of the consciousness into higher esoteric realms to gather knowledge and information.
One of the pieces of information that they gathered was the existence of these cyclic catastrophes, so they said, “Well, at a certain point coming up, we will need to preserve this, so we will bury it so that future generations will not lose this knowledge.”
Participant: Does that civilization still exist in our current timeline?
Bashar: The people have all been absorbed into other cultures at this point.
Parallel Tracks
Participant: You’ve talked about parallel tracks. It’s not just one or two parallel tracks — there might be seven to nine, or many many more, but you may only experience a finite amount of them that are relevant for your experience at this time. I have hybrid children. In all of the parallel tracks, will they stay with me? If I get off on the wrong track, do I lose them?
Bashar: You can go back to the other track, or at least something similar, if you understand that you have stepped off the track that you prefer to be on.
Participant: Is there a Bashar in different parallel tracks?
Bashar: Absolutely.
Participant: And I am also beside myself many times.
Bashar: So are you. But each of the parallel tracks are going to be almost diametrically opposed where you can’t jump from one to the other at some point. At some point, for certain tracks, and in other tracks that’s not the case.
Participant: A couple years ago you said you couldn’t jump.
Bashar: I was talking about the tracks you were on at the time. So now we have more tracks, so now we can jump again. Because as you expand, you gain more ability to jump farther from track to track.
Participant: Is there different versions of you on the positive track saying different things?
Bashar: Somewhat, whatever is relevant for those tracks.
The Allegory of the Monster
(Bashar tells a story)
Once upon a time, there was a land that was terrorized by a frightful monster. It would stomp around and roar a mighty roar, frightening all the inhabitants, making them run to their homes and lock their doors and windows for fear that they would be devoured by the terrifying beast. And this would happen every day.
After days and days and days upon days of this, one little child decided to follow the monster to see where it would go when it left the town, and to find out why the monster was so mean, so terrifying, so frightful — to discover what had made it that way, and perhaps to find a way to stop the monster so that her town, his town, could live in peace and no longer be afraid.
And so one time, after the monster had passed through town, roaring, gnashing its teeth, flashing its eyes, and scaring everyone, and then began to stomp down the trail back through the forest from whence it had come, the child followed the monster quietly, nimbly, hiding behind the trees, until the child saw the monster arrive at a cave in a mountainside, and the monster disappeared within that dark cave.
The child tiptoed cautiously toward the cave, afraid to go into that darkness for fear that the child might be devoured by the monster. But suddenly the child saw deep within the cave a small bright light. And so the child, being very curious, being very brave, decided to venture inside that cave. And as the child snuck further on little cat feet, deeper and deeper into that cave, the child finally came upon the den of the monster.
And in that den, hiding behind a large boulder, the child witnessed the monster. But something was different, something was strange — for the light was coming from inside the monster somehow, peeking out, pouring out through seams in the monster’s scaly skin. And suddenly the child witnessed that the monster was just a costume. And as the monster took the costume off, it was nothing more than a shining sphere of light.
And the child marveled at this, for there was nothing to fear about the light — it was just a beautiful sight, powerful energy, vibrating, humming. And only when it donned the costume of the monster did it become a fearful thing. So the child, no longer afraid, strode up to the shining sphere of light, which was very surprised to see the child there, but also very pleased, for it could see itself reflected in the child’s curious eyes. Because since there was no mirror in the cave, the sphere had not seen itself for a long time, but marveled at its brilliance in the reflection in the child’s eyes, for it finally understood that this is how the child saw it. And the child no longer saw the monster, the suit of which lay crumpled on the cave floor.
And the child spoke and said, “If this is what you truly are underneath that frightful appearance, I now see your true self — for you are just beauty and energy and power and light. And the monster is just something that you’ve wrapped yourself in. Why?”
And the sphere replied, “Because this is what the people in the village expect to see when this much power is presented to them. So I donned the suit to give them what they expect to see.”
“But you are beautiful,” said the child. “Why not let them see that?”
“If only they would,” said the blinding light.
“I believe,” said the child, “that I can convince them to see you in a different light and not as the frightful monster, if you would but just give me a chance to explain to the people of my village what you truly are underneath that frightful costume.”
The sphere relented and followed the child back down the path through the forest to the edge of the village. “Wait here,” said the child. “I will be back.”
And so the child ventured forth back into the village, knocked upon the doors, calling the townspeople into the square, shouting, “Come out, come out! There is nothing to fear, for I have vanquished the monster!”
The townspeople marveled at this — at how a child could have bested such a frightful beast — and they all asked, “How? How were you capable of doing this?”
And the child replied, “For I saw the monster’s true heart. And what you saw as the frightful beast was nothing but a skin, a costume, a reflection of the fear that you have been living with within your hearts for so long. But that is not the true form of that being, for it is a beautiful, bright, shining light. It is power and resonance and harmony, and can be used and can be cloaked in so many other ways.”
And the child asked a member of the village who was very talented and very skilled at creating clothing and costumes to create — to weave — a beautiful form, a beautiful appearance, a costume of unparalleled beauty. And the child took it and brought it back to the sphere at the edge of the forest and said, “Please wear this instead. For you can wear many costumes, for you yourself are simply light and can wrap yourself and cloak yourself in any disguise whatsoever. The town is willing to receive you in this form, is willing to let go of the fear and understand the true nature of your being.”
And the sphere donned the costume, and it was a beautiful being, a radiant being, an angelic being of peace and love and light — for the inner light shone through its eyes, the eyes of the costume, and illuminated the path before them back to the village.
And when all of the people saw the child approaching with this being, they marveled at how such a transformation could take place. But it is not such a mystery, said the child, for the truth is that the light can take many forms, and it only reflected the fear that was already in your hearts. But if you give way to love and give way to peace and give way to joy, and allow these back in your life, then this shall be the reflection that this being shall show you until the end of your days. And the village can once again thrive and be at peace and joy and harmony.
And the villagers did rejoice and did invite in this being, this beautiful being of light and form, and it lifted their hearts to the heavens. And from that day forward, there was peace in the village, and all who chose to live there.
Go within to your inner child and see the truth that lies deep at the core and the heart of fear, for it is nothing but power, energy, and light. And it can take many forms and cloak itself in many guises. And if you just focus not on the fear reflection but upon its inner strength, its inner power, the essence of its form, so too can you invite it to cloak itself in radiant raiment, in beautiful garment that reflects the joy in your hearts that you desire to feel — the peace, harmony, beauty, and love that you seek in your lives.
And forever and ever, the shining light will wear that cloak, for it is only within the hearts of the villagers that give the light its choice to choose the radiant raiment or the fearful visage of the beast. For these are just illusions, these are just cloaks. And at its core is the true being, the being that can take many forms, the being that takes its cue from you.
Open up. Breathe into that new reality and just feel the sensation. Anytime that monster raises its head, gnashes its teeth, stomps its feet, flashes its eyes — remind the inner child that it sees the truth: that at its core is just this vibration of power and light, and that you can offer it the opportunity to transform into another guise, another cloak, another raiment of light, of beauty, of harmony, and of peace, so that you may live in joy in your village forevermore.
Take a deep breath and make this story your story. Take another deep breath and make this path your path. And take another deep breath and make this light your light. Cloak it in the form that you prefer, that you choose to reflect throughout your lives. Be the village of peace, be the village of joy, be the village of love, the village of harmony, the village of infinite possibility — the shape-shifters that choose to know who they truly are and to reflect that in all aspects of your being.
