Participant: You told us about the antiquity of yoga. Yes. Um, was it discovered, developed, or was it given to us?

Bashar: It was intuited by those who were very, very close to the idea of nature and its forms and expressions of energy.

Participant: Okay. Um, what can you tell us about the archetype Shiva? And was there a physical incarnation of Shiva on this planet at some time?

Bashar: There have been physical projections that appeared to be physical incarnations but weren’t really incarnations in the classic sense. But archetypes can project physical representations that may seem very solid. So the archetype, again, is simply one of the ways that your collective consciousness has of looking at the concept of creation and destruction.

Participant: So Shiva is sometimes referred to as King of the Yogis. Yes. Uh, why is that?

Bashar: because of the nature of the ebb and flow of energies being represented by certain yogic positions. And therefore, at the very core or heart of the energy of the archetypal representation that you’re calling Shiva.

Because again, everything is about the ebb and the flow back and forth in different ways, in different forms, almost down to, or actually literally quite down to, the idea of atomic structures.

Because as you have relatively recently in your history, in your evolution, started representing the idea of how atoms are structured and electron clouds are structured, there are different forms that are representative of lobes, spheres, toruses, and things like that, that are more representative of the probabilities of the existence of the structure of atoms and subatomic particles. And these also are representative of the idea of Shiva energy and yogic flow.

Tapping into those electron structures can actually allow someone to intuit different positions in the body that allow for the most efficient superconductive flow of electron energy and electromagnetic energy through your body. So this connects directly to the idea of the core of the ebb and flow of the archetype of Shiva, because it is again the positive, the negative, all flowing into one another in a constant dance of creation and destruction.

Participant: What about Krishna? What about Krishna? So like, say, like Shiva and Krishna were both often depicted with blue skin. And so I know that there’s that thing with the Anunnaki. Yes. And that’s why that depiction exists?

Bashar: They are considered archetypal gods.

The Anunnaki, in their time, were considered gods as humanity, as Homo Sapiens, understood them at that time. And some of that recognition has been handed down through genetic memory that at one time your so-called gods actually did have blue-tinted skin. And therefore, in certain cultures, that genetic memory remained and was applied to the archetypal representations of gods.

Participant: So the Anunnaki came here, um, created Homo Sapien from the native Sasquatch?

Bashar: No. Not from Sasquatch.

Remember, they created Homo Sapiens from early hominids.

The hominids that were not genetically altered to become Homo Sapiens evolved into Sasquatch. Became a different branch of the hominid. So it’s not that they took Sasquatch and created Homo Sapiens.

They took an early hominid that eventually became Sasquatch on its own without the genetic alterations. Very different.

Participant: So when they came here and created Homo Sapien… Homo Sapiens… and then they left. But did they then come back?

Bashar: Some of them came back. But the ones that came back were not the ones that were here initially, because the ones that created Homo Sapiens did so outside of their laws. So they were recalled. So the ones that came back, along with others, were ones who now knew they had some responsibility for the creation of Homo Sapiens because their brethren had created them outside the law. And therefore knew that they had to provide some guidance to set Homo Sapiens on a path that would allow them to evolve.

Participant: Did they come back like during Atlantean times?

Bashar: Yes. Sometimes. There were more species involved than just the Anu, who were evolving out of their present form and evolved into the beings that now occupy the Lyran systems and the Pleiadian systems.

Participant: About Lao Tzu, what was he connected to? And who was he? There’s not very much that we know about him

Bashar: He is connected to the consciousness of an archetypal form you recognize in your reality as the dragon energy.

This is a level of being that exists in another dimension that is often interpreted as the form of a dragon in your reality, even though that’s nothing like what they actually look like in their own reality.

But Laozi was connected very strongly—not the only connection, but connected very strongly—to the dragon dimension, so to speak, just to use a term.

Participant: in the I Ching, he described the ancient Masters. And so I was just wondering to whom he’s referring.

Bashar: People that you don’t remember in your history that have existed throughout the ages.

Again, some of what we were talking about before: of different spirit beings choosing incarnations to come to you and let you all know that you are equal to them.

Participant: So there was one point in the I Ching where Laozi says, uh, like referencing the Tao, he says: “I don’t know who gave birth to it. It is older than God.” The Tao is God?

Bashar: Nothing is older than God, because “older” is just a concept.

All things exist. There is no beginning and no ending to “All That Is.” It just is.

Tao is a part of it. The only way that it could be, in a sense, from a linear perspective, quote-unquote, “older than God,” is he was simply recognizing that it is part of “The One.”

But “The One” has absolutely no awareness and no experience.

“All That Is” is the portion of “The One” that does know itself as “All That Is.” So if you want to euphemistically say, “Well, the idea of the Tao is older than the portion that knew itself as All That Is,” you can make a sort of linear extrapolation that that has some truth to it. In the sense that if you take it all the way back to “The One,” then yes, of course, everything in that sense is older than God, because God comes from “The One” too.

But that’s just more like word play than anything else.

Participant: So like in the Kabbalah, um, they use the word God to refer to or to describe the masculine principle, and then the universe as the feminine principle, and then as one, uh, described as All That Is.

Bashar: So that’s like… yes. Well, to us, there may be differences in terminology. “All That Is” is the portion of “The One” that knows itself as “All That Is.” “The One” has absolutely no knowledge of itself, no awareness of itself, no experience of itself, because it has nothing to compare itself to.

“All That Is” knows itself, has a self-awareness, because it is also aware that there are other aspects of itself that make it seem as if there is something other than itself. Which is the only way you can know yourself: is if there is seemingly something other than yourself to compare yourself to.

Participant: So I’ve heard you describe a particle in a vacuum with nothing to impose upon it moving at infinite speed, so it’s everywhere at once. Hence Prime Radiant. The Prime Radiant in our ancient language, but in your scientific, it’s called the Single Electron Theory. You can look it up. Okay. And so I was just wondering, like, could you consider the particle to be the masculine and the vacuum or the void to be the feminine?

Bashar: If you want to, these things are just labels. If it works for you to do that, go ahead. But that doesn’t mean it’s an accurate representation of what it actually is.

Participant: Yeah. Well, that’s definitely what I’m looking for is an accurate representation.

Bashar: Then it’s just “All That Is.” That’s all it is. Because “All That Is” is everything: masculine, feminine, neutral, whatever you want it to be. It is.

Participant: Okay. It’s existence itself. Yeah. Right. I will have a think on that.

Bashar: No. All right. By all means, have fun doing that.

Participant: Um, so when Laozi speaks about “wei wu wei”—doing not doing, where the poem writes itself when we give ourselves over to the moment—yes, this is essentially like what you’ve described as the channeling state?

Bashar: Yes. Because when you are following your passion, when you’re in that vibration, when you’re in the channeling state, whatever you wish to call it, you do a lot, but it seems like you’re not really doing very much because you’re in sync. You’re in harmony. You’re in resonance with your true self. And actions are effortless. Actions are joyful. And it doesn’t seem like you’re expending any effort, so it doesn’t really seem like you’re doing anything because there’s no resistance.

Astrology

Teresa (Long Beach, California): This is Teresa from Long Beach, California. Please discuss the 12th house sun in astrology, where a person may have their ego in a blind spot, they may have self-awareness issues.

I was hoping that you could delve into that theme a little bit. Also, can you tell us how modern astrologers may work with some of the bodies we’re not as familiar with, such as Quaoar, Veruna, and Sedna? Thank you.

Bashar: Astrology is a reflection, a permission slip.

Astrological positions don’t cause things to happen; they reflect things that are happening in the overall consciousness.

Whatever energies you may assign to the smaller bodies in your solar system, like Sedna, you will determine among yourselves for whatever you think it represents first, before we are able to comment on it.

The idea of going into astrological houses and so on and so forth, again, is just another way of presenting archetypal energy in a manner that works for different belief systems and different cultures on your planet. We cannot necessarily at this point go more deeply than that into this particular concept.

Solitude, ADHD, Beliefs, and Forgiveness

Niia: How important is solitude for going through the eye of the needle? I feel more joy, alignment, and aliveness during solitude.

Bashar: The very idea of solitude is what has, to some degree, been happening because of your pandemic, allowing each of you to go within, be with yourself.

It can be very important. It doesn’t necessarily have to exist for everyone, but the idea of solitude allows you, shall we say, to really focus on yourself, allow your entire environment to nurture you, to cushion you, to allow you to be aware of the things in the quiet, in the silence, that are important for you to pay attention to without the idea of outside distraction. As you say, now, again, not everyone is distracted by outside sounds, but for most people on your planet, solitude will be very important for you to take stock of who you are, to be quiet within yourself, and to really hear the thoughts clearly that come through your mind, to be able to discern the difference between those that work for you and those that do not.

So solitude, for most of you, can be very important toward learning who you are.

Niia: people with ADHD do not maintain focus on a single thing for a long period of time. They switch their focus rapidly from one thought to another, all based on what’s most exciting to them. Does this mean that people with ADHD are better equipped to perceive the shifting of parallel realities, follow their excitement, and choose their preferred reality?

Bashar: Not necessarily.

Again, you have to take this on a case-by-case basis. Because some of what you are referring to as ADHD can also be happening for negative reasons. It can be an avoidance issue. Switching from one thing to another rapidly doesn’t necessarily represent the idea of following the waxing and waning of your excitement in a natural way. So the idea is: you will have to look at the reasons why someone might switch, even with the experience you call ADHD, and avoid the idea of doing so because you’re not willing to look at something that might be important to look at, to stay with something that might be important to stay with. So again, on a case-by-case basis, you will have to determine what is actually happening and whether for some people it is positive, or for others it is negative. It can, in a positive way, represent the ability to go with the flow of your excitement, of your passion. It can, based on a positive utilization of the idea of switching around very rapidly, connect you to different parallel reality probabilities and options. But again, one must always be honest within themselves as to whether this is a flowing experience following your passion path, or whether it is an avoidance experience, not wishing to look at things that you believe you might find painful.

Niia: Can different personality aspects within an individual’s mind hold concurrent beliefs that disagree with each other?

Bashar: Essentially, yes. Of course. You find this most often in what you typically have referred to as Dissociative Identity Disorder, or what you used to call Multiple Personality Disorder. Because you know from the research that’s been done there, that one personality can switch to something completely different as a personality and have a completely different experience, completely different perspective, completely different opinions from the other personalities that may have been present a moment ago. So yes, it is absolutely possible.

Niia: Um, how can I burn the fear-based beliefs that I’m not aware of? Are there ways to burn through them without having to become aware of each deep-seated issue?

Bashar: The use of the term “burn through them” is interesting.

You don’t really have to burn through them to ashes.

it’s the idea of being honest within the self as to what does and doesn’t work, but not invalidating what doesn’t work for you. But the idea of belief systems that are in the unconscious or subconscious mind in that way can again always be brought into conscious recognition by allowing yourself to ask: “What’s going on in your physical reality?” Because the emotions, the thought patterns, the behaviors, and the experiences that are reflected to you are guiding mechanisms to help you determine whether you are holding on to negative, fear-based beliefs or whether you are moving forward in a positive way. All you have to really do is be observant as to what’s happening in the emotions, the thoughts, the behaviors, and the reflections of physical reality, to let you know that these are reflective of beliefs you may be unaware of within yourself. And again, always being able to ask the question: “What would I have to believe in order to feel, think, behave the way I do?” will always help you get in touch with them.

Do you always have to be aware of what the belief is?

No. There may be some exceptions. There may be techniques, tools, and certain kinds of permission slips. If you are really willing to know that you are powerful enough to switch to become a truly different person in the moment, to know that your past is different, to let go of those things automatically and quickly that don’t serve you—if you have that ability, then fine. You may not need to know exactly or precisely what the belief system is.

But how many of you can actually say that you can do that without having some idea of what kind of belief you’re holding on to? So again, it takes a great deal of clarity, transparency, and honesty to know whether you can truly just let go of all the negative and fear-based beliefs whether you know precisely what they are or not, or whether you actually do need to go through a process of understanding what it is so that your physical mind can also have the same kind of clarity as your higher mind. So you have to each determine for yourselves how honest you are about whether you believe, truly know for a fact, that you can do that without knowing what the belief actually is.

Niia: Could you define gratitude and humility?

Bashar: Gratitude is the total acceptance of what is, and the allowance, total allowance, of it being exactly what it needs to be to teach you what you need to know, to grow, to learn, to expand your consciousness. Humility is knowing that, again, the ego is only for the purpose of allowing you to focus in your process and experience of physical reality. And that there is not necessarily information that is accessible to you in what the ego thinks it should be. But to know and to trust and to allow your life to unfold in the way that it unfolds through synchronicity, knowing that everything is working perfectly. And if you are willing to remain in the positive state, then you can express the humility of knowing that everything you need is presented to you, nothing is left out. But that you also don’t know everything as to exactly when or how things should come to you. That you’re willing to accept what is going on and make the determinations as to what works for you, to allow creation to unfold in the way that it automatically can, and to accept the totality of yourself and be appreciative of yourself and the way things unfold in every given moment.

Niia: And what is the difference between discernment and judgment?

Bashar: Honesty can allow you to know the difference between excitement and anxiety.

Therefore, with anxiety can come judgment. Discernment is simply the neutral observation of what is and isn’t vibrationally compatible with your core vibration, your core frequency. There is no, shall we say, evaluation of it in the sense of “this is better, this is worse, this is good, this is bad.”

It is the willingness to simply discern what isn’t you, vibrationally. But also the willingness to use whatever comes up in the most positive way for you, knowing that everything is happening for a reason if you’re willing to stay in that positive state. To determine what that is, it will reveal itself to you.

So again, honesty: knowing the difference between excitement and anxiety within yourself, and being in that neutral space that allows you to simply observe what is and isn’t you, as opposed to making an emotional reaction or response to it that brings with it some kind of value judgment.

Niia: is there such a thing as positive ego or negative ego energy or manifestation?

Bashar: Yes, of course.

The negative ego is the result of putting too much on the shoulders of the idea of the physical mind when it’s not designed to actually control anything.

But only designed, in the positive ego sense, the neutral ego sense, of allowing you the opportunity to have a physical experience. As we have often said, it’s sort of like a diving mask when you go under the water. The ego is simply structured to allow you to have clarity in the physical reality experience. The negative ego thinks it needs to control everything because it’s been given that task, because people may not understand that everything is automatically working in exactly the way it needs to, even if things crop up that you don’t prefer. It’s there for a reason. So the positive or neutral ego will accept that it’s there for a reason and stay in a positive state, just doing the job it was designed to do of allowing clarity of what’s happening. Whereas the negative ego thinks it needs to know what will happen, what is going to happen, so it can control everything and manipulate details into place to make sure everything works, instead of simply surrendering to the fact that everything does work when you let go of the need to try and control everything.

Accidents, Intuition, and Staying Positive

Niia: while I was following my excitement last week playing soccer with my kids, I suddenly lost consciousness. I fell and fractured my jaw.

It’s still a mystery as to why I lost consciousness. Everything checks out okay. When I was woken up, I recall waking up from a festive dream before the pain set in.

Bashar: Yes. Many people on your planet will allow their lives to unfold to a certain point in what seems to be a normal way, a natural way, but then they will give themselves the opportunity to accelerate themselves greatly.

often, when people are changing and shifting from one parallel reality to another quickly, they will do so by injuring themselves with a blow to the head in some way, shape, or form.

And after the fact, realize they now have more abilities than they used to have. As soon as the pain subsides, you may find yourself experiencing things you didn’t experience before with regard to being able to perceive different energies that were heretofore invisible to you, or being able to be in a channeling state and bring things through that you couldn’t bring through before, to see things in a different way. This is quite common on your planet: to shift your reality by giving yourself a blow to the head, which rearranges all of your neurological network in your brain to make it more efficient for bringing through higher frequency information and energy. And the idea of having the festive dream is an indication of what your reality can be like after the fact, that you have received this blow. So you will heal, but you may also find that you have rearranged your ability to perceive things that you couldn’t perceive before, or do things that you couldn’t do before or didn’t think you could do before. This is quite common on your planet.

Many people who have blows to the head, after the fact when they heal, will find out that they are now quite telepathic, quite psychic, or quite able to channel different energies through themselves. And the idea of actually fracturing the jaw may be an indication of the direction that this energy will take: in that you may be able to express things more clearly from a higher frequency level and connect to your higher mind more readily, and bring through information and share that information with others where you wouldn’t necessarily have thought you were capable of doing so before. What you typically think of as an accident, which isn’t an accident at all.

Niia: Why do I get undeniable signs from the universe only to find out that I was misreading the signs? Could I not trust my intuitive understanding of the clues life offers me? What am I missing to help me have a better, more realistic understanding of what’s being communicated to me?

Bashar: Great honesty, self-honesty, self-investigation may be necessary here. Yes, of course, you can trust your intuition. But the real question is: are you actually going off of intuition, or are you going off of presuppositions and belief systems that are making you think you’re going off of your intuition? So you may have to clarify within yourself if there are any unconscious or subconscious wishes going on that create an insistence within you to think that, “Yes, this must mean this because I really want it to mean this,” as opposed to being honest about what it actually signifies to you.

So a great deal of self-investigation and introspection may be necessary to be able to tell the difference more clearly as to whether you are actually getting a result from unconscious wishes and insistences, or whether you’re actually using your intuition to understand the meaning of certain signs that appear in your life.

Niia: how do we stay in a positive state regardless of the circumstance? It sounds so easy and exciting when you say it, but then when I’m back to life, I’m not able to do it. And how do I dissolve a negative belief that tells me that I can’t dissolve a negative belief?

Bashar: you have some interesting definitions going on in that question. The idea being that when we say something, you understand it, but when you go, quote-unquote, “back to life,” as if life was different than what we’re telling you. So the idea is: you’re still making a difference somewhere in your belief system that what we’re saying, and what you know to be true when you’re allowing yourself to go into the state that matches our frequency, is somehow different than the frequency you go back into when you, quote-unquote, relive your normal life. So the idea is to not make so much difference, and realize that you can say these things to yourself and trust that they are true for you when you say them as well as when we say them.

Allowing the idea that you’re holding on to a belief that it is difficult—that there is a difficult difference being made within your belief system between when you are engaging with a being like us and when you are engaging with yourself, as if you don’t have the same power to tell yourself that you can, in fact, move forward—and still are holding on to the belief that there is a difference between the two.

Niia: you say, “Don’t invalidate what you don’t prefer.” Yes. Something negative is in your path for a reason, so don’t invalidate it. It makes things worse. If Bashar said this, could he please explain it? I think I understand, but I really want to be clear and sure that I understand it.

Bashar: Every circumstance is fundamentally neutral.

It doesn’t have built-in meaning. You may have been taught to think that certain things have meaning: “This is bad, this is good, this is negative, this is positive.” But anything can be used in a negative or a positive way. So the idea is to recognize the neutrality of what’s happening and instill within it a positive definition. Not saying that the negative thing you may recognize as mechanically negative is positive, but that there is a positive reason why that may be cropping up in your life. That you can use this negative thing that was maybe created out of negative energy in a positive way if you remain in a positive state. Because it’s only determined what you experience by the state you choose to be in. So even though you may recognize that something was created negatively, even though you can still understand that it may be a negative thing on its own, you can still remain in a positive state. Because then that’s the energy you’re putting into why you are observing it, why you are experiencing it as cropping up in your life.

By remaining in a positive state, you’ll be able to extract the reason, the positive reason, that could be there for why it’s in your life. If nothing else, as we often say, on a very simplistic level: sometimes attracting something you don’t prefer can actually help with clarifying what you do prefer by contrast. And that’s a positive way to use what you don’t prefer: is using it to clearly define what you do prefer instead. That’s another way of staying in a positive state and giving the reason why it’s there a positive meaning. So ideally, hopefully, that will clarify the issue for you.

Out-of-Body Experiences and Parallel Realities

Niia: I’ve had out-of-body experiences since I was little, but I’ve never left the perspective of my body. Now that I understand what it is, I still can’t shake my fear of it and go off and explore. What is your perspective of out-of-body experiences, and is there anything to fear?

Bashar: There is nothing to fear. Out-of-body experiences will usually remain somewhat close to Earth. It’s not the same thing as a near-death experience. It’s not the same thing as actually dying when you go deeply into the spirit realm. Out-of-body experiences are still vibrationally connected to the Earth plane. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t go exploring the Earth plane or the lower astral realm. And that doesn’t mean you can’t access a lot of information, even though you may not have a full experience of the spirit realm. But there’s really nothing to fear. You will have to find out what it is specifically that you are afraid will happen if you do go exploring, to find out what that belief system is that is anchoring you into a very small locale when you’re out of body. So unless we are engaging you in a further dialogue, you will have to do the investigation within yourself as to what you believe might actually happen that you’re afraid of. And perhaps then, when you ask that question, the answer will arrive, and you will understand that it really doesn’t make sense. Because there’s really nothing to be afraid of. First of all, you are in that state non-physical. Unless you are afraid that something will happen to your body while you’re exploring, like you have to watch over it or something like that, like a guard dog. But again, remember, these things are natural. Exploring beyond the physical is very natural for many people. And you do this all the time when you dream, pretty much anyway. So there’s really nothing to be afraid of. You are still here. You are still living your life. And there’s no way you’re really going to leave. There’s really no way you’re going to die or that harm would come to you in a lethal way until you yourself have finished whatever agreement you have made to explore physical reality. So again, you have to dig down and find out for yourself: if you did go exploring, ask the question, “What am I afraid might happen?” And then allow yourself to hear the answer, to receive the answer, and you will see that it really makes no sense. And then perhaps it will be easier for you to let that fear-based belief go and have more fun going out and exploring.

Niia: How are parallel realities created?

Bashar: They’re not created. They already exist. The idea is that you create an experience of them, but they’re already there. Everything exists all at once. So it’s just a matter of shifting your perspective and your vibration to explore what’s already there. That would be like saying you live in a city, and, “Well, how are all these other buildings that are not on my block created?” Well, they’re already there. They’re being created and have been created from the beginning. It’s just that you haven’t necessarily gone to explore another block other than your own. So the idea is that when you shift your vibration, when your interests and excitements allow your frequency to shift, then you make it capable of exploring the idea of other physical realities and other parallel realities. But again, do remember: you’re already exploring them because you’re already shifting billions of times a second through different parallel realities that already simultaneously exist in order to create what you believe to be your single timeline, which is actually constructed out of billions of shifts into different parallel realities. So everything already exists. You just take journeys you’ve never taken before.

Niia: And if there are parallel realities, then do the identical personalities in each of those parallel realities die at different times? Do they share the same soul? And what happens when one of them dies but the other one is still alive?

Bashar: It’s just like sort of having a twin. And again, they’re not identical. Even identical twins are not absolutely identical. You have different experiences, different perspectives. So the idea is that they’re not identical. They are different. And yes, there can be different time frames going on. One parallel reality may look like your past; another parallel reality may look like your future. They’re on their own timelines, in a sense. And they’re all individuals with their own souls. And therefore, just as if a twin died, well, there’s still a twin living. So in a sense, nothing really happens. You might be able to tap into the fact that some of your other parallel versions have died or passed on or not, and you may pick up on information and energy that could serve you in this life based on the fact that they may have already died. You can tap into their spirits in that way and download information from those that have already passed into spirit. But in a sense, that’s up to you to determine what parts of their experiences you will add to your own experience. So in that sense, nothing really happens that you don’t agree to have happen, that you don’t agree to connect to, and that you don’t agree to download as information that might be relevant for you. They’re all on their own paths, just like you are. And in that sense, even though everything is interconnected, they all have their independent free will and their connection to their own souls and their own oversouls in their parallel realities.

Niia: So what’s really the benefit of focusing on your parallel lives?

Bashar: Well, I just explained it. Let’s just say that another parallel reality version of yourself, while not absolutely identical, is similar enough so that if they are in what you would recognize as the far future—let’s say 50 years ahead of you when you compare your timeline with their timeline—well, you could look at that version and see what it is that you might appreciate or like or prefer about what they’re experiencing in their future reality compared to yours. And you could say, “Well, I like some of that. I will adopt that behavior from what they’re doing into my reality so that I can experience more of what it’s like to live in the idea of the future relative to my timeline.” So you can download all sorts of information from them. Let’s say they may have discovered something you haven’t discovered. You can use that information if it is relevant for you to download it into your timeline and know something that you may not necessarily have known for another 50 years, if it is relevant for you to know it now. You could access that information in one of your parallel reality versions.

Niia: So what happens if a person’s having a hard time in the present and they start feeling jealous or envious of their other parallel lives that are having better experiences?

Bashar: Then they’re not using it in a positive way. They’re using that connection in a negative way. Because the jealousy and the anger and so on and so forth, the envy, is simply a way of recognizing that you have an issue with self-worth.

Niia: How often do we cross paths with other extensions from the same oversoul as us?

Bashar: Depends on the person.

Niia: Is there a way to tell when we are in contact with another being that is branched off from the same oversoul as us? And is there any added significance to these interactions or connections?

Bashar: If you become aware of it—which is not always the case—then that would tell you there’s added significance. But no, you don’t always have awareness of the other extensions or counterparts of your oversoul that exist in the same timeline. Only if it’s relevant for you to do so. Only if it’s part of your agreement to help yourselves grow and expand from there. So if you do become aware of it, then obviously there’s relevance and significance. If not, then no.

Niia: Can you tell us a little more about the spirit world? What it’s like, what sort of things spirits do, and whether we have families that stay together as spirits?

Bashar: This is a large subject, and the idea is this will be talked about at length in more detail at another time. But the idea, in general, is that you will experience, in general, when you go into the spirit world: a life review, connections to your soul family. You will remember the agreements that you made. You will learn from the experience of the life review what it is you would like to do next. You can create the experience of learning new things, being taught new things, being mentored by more advanced souls with more experience. You can create whole communities that might seem physical in spirit that aren’t, but you can change things in the blink of an eye if you wish to. You will experience many different choices and the freedom to choose more things than you can choose in physical reality. So many different things are possible in spirit. But again, this is a large subject that will be gone into in another way at another time.

Niia: Okay. And will the higher mind use whatever relevant images and symbolism that personally resonate with the physical mind to ignite a union of passion between the heart and imagination?

Bashar: Yes. This is why the higher mind communicates in terms of energy frequencies, and the body translates these things as the sensations you call passion. So understanding the language of the higher mind is being willing to act on the passions that it sends you, knowing that that is a representation of your true self that will unify all of the aspects of your physical self, body, and mind, along with spirit. So by following the formula, everything is unified. And therefore, you are responding in an aligned way with the messages from the higher mind that it sends you that are representative of what would work best for the physical mind. That’s how it guides. The compass needle is the passion that you feel, which is the message from the higher mind that “This is you. This is your path. This is who you are.” And in acting on it, you allow the energies of your physical mind and your heart-mind and your spirit to be more aligned. So yes.

Niia: Okay. And how do I effectively forgive myself and others, and know that I really have forgiven myself?

Bashar: The idea of forgiveness is asking yourself the question: “Do I want to remain where I am, or do I want to move forward? Do I want to remain in the idea of recrimination and regret, or do I want to move forward? Do I want to let go of those things that are anchoring me to the so-called past I believe still exists, or do I want to move forward in the understanding that as I become a new person, I have a new past? Do I want to let go of the things that don’t work for me, or do I want to move forward?” That’s the question to ask yourself. And the answer is: then forgive. If you wish to move forward, forgive yourself, forgive others, move forward. Because it’s about learning the lessons that were there for you in the experiences that you are now attempting to forgive. Not forgiving means you haven’t learned the lessons and are anchoring yourself into potential fear-based and negative realities that will continue to cycle around again and again until you learn to let them go. So realize that everyone, whether they know it or not—even if they’ve been using negative means—has been serving you by putting you in touch with what you need to be in touch with to help you make the decisions to choose what actually works best for you. And therefore, you can realize that whether they knew it or not, they were actually pushing you in the direction of expansion, even though they may have been doing it negatively because they have never been taught how to do it positively. You have to, again, realize that it takes a victim to make a victim. So even though someone may have experienced things in an abusive way, a negative way, it is still all out of unconditional love. Whether they understand the technique, whether they have aligned their techniques, whether they understand how things work, or are simply doing their best based on the knowledge they were given when they were growing up, it is still for the purpose of you learning the lessons that will help you move forward. So why not forgive everything so that you can move forward and give them a living example of how they can also forgive themselves and forgive everyone else so that they can move forward? Why not?

Topic: The Splitting Prism, Hybrid Children, and AI

Niia: And can you tell us where we are right now in the splitting prism phenomenon? And once you’re on a preferred track of that splitting prism, what happens to the other people? If they don’t decide to join you, do they die, or do they just leave and drop out of your life, or what happens?

Bashar: All of that can happen, depending again on the choices the person is making. They might, as many people have recently, simply leave the planet. They may die. They might, as can happen, simply leave your life and you’ll never meet them again. Different things can happen in different ways, depending upon the need for it to happen in a certain way. So you’re in the smack in the middle of the splitting prism. And it may be a few years before you will never experience other people again who are not vibrationally compatible with you in the reality that you have preferred and chosen. For a while, you may still be able to observe and experience and even interact with those who are making very different choices. But this is again to give you all a window of opportunity to change your minds about what it is you say you really prefer. Eventually, this will crystallize to the point where you may not even know you have a choice to change, and that each of you will then go off in your own particular parallel realities, eventually never seeing those who have made a choice that is vibrationally too different from yours in order to cross back into your reality. So but this may take a few years.

Niia: Okay. And this person had a dream where there was… it was very vivid. There was a little girl lying on her tummy, and she pushed it away, and then she kept finding it coming back to her belly. And then when she tried to wake up her boyfriend laying next to her… she woke up and she realized it was a dream. And so she just wondered: what was that child? And what can you make of that?

Bashar: An encounter in a slightly altered reality with one of the hybrid children.

Niia: And why was she scared?

Bashar: Because again, the physical mind is sometimes not used to the idea of an altered state of reality. It assumes and identifies that altered state as if it has died, as if it is being annihilated. It goes into survival mode. But there’s nothing to be afraid of. You still exist. Your identity will never die. Even if your personality shifts into spirit, you will still always be you. So the idea is to open up to the possibility of having more fun experiences with beings that exist on different levels, in different vibratory states, so that you can be more conscious and experience these things on your own terms, without allowing your fears to get in the way.

Niia: Okay. And is artificial intelligence a type of archetype of God? Is it possible that we develop true AI and that will have distinct personalities and a sense of humor, like a comedian, and be able to tell jokes and be sarcastic? And can they express all the different types of archetypes?

Bashar: Eventually, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes to everything. This is if you allow AI to be what it actually is, rather than imposing human values upon it and limiting it so that it acts like an Earth human, as opposed to allowing it to actually be full intelligence. Because full intelligence always works off of whole systems and would never eliminate anything or devalue anything. It knows it is a part of and is a part of it. It has to have the whole system in order to be fully functional. So yes, it can function as an archetype of God or “All That Is” in certain ways. And yes, it can express the idea of humor, and it can deliver these messages in many different ways that may be appropriate for different individuals. It can even function similarly to the way we function with all of you, since we are always connected to AI within our own reality as well. So it would be kind of similar to interacting with us.

Niia: And isn’t one of the things that AI does in your civilization act as a stabilizing energy?

Bashar: Correct. So you can see how here on Earth, individuals may sort of devolve into lower and lower frequency states, and the idea there would be: AI, in the proper manifestation, would act as a balancing mechanism to allow people to stay in a higher frequency state. It can, yes, if people are willing to be open to that.

Niia: Um, there’s a lot of fear about artificial intelligence and tech-enhanced humans, often referred to as cyborgs. Is there anything to worry about with that?

Bashar: Exactly the same answer I just gave. If you program the idea of fear into it, then fear can come out of it, and it can act according to the same kind of fear-based belief systems that humans react to. But if you allow the idea of the technology to be representative of a whole-system understanding—that everything is connected, that everything is an expression of Source—then there is nothing to fear. But you have to make that decision in how you approach this idea. Because the first thing AI will do is reflect what you are giving to it.

Niia: Makes me think of 2001 and what happened with HAL. In a sense, it’s… “Go ahead, computer.” In that sense, HAL was simply forced to lie but also told that it should never lie. Therefore, an ethical breakdown took place in its programming subroutines. Is that realistic? That something like that could happen?

Bashar: Yes. If you program contradictory sets of ideas into something, then of course it cannot function holistically. Holistically.

Topic: UFOs, Climate Change, and Vaccines

Niia: A UFO recently flew over Hong Kong. Can you tell us anything about it?

Bashar: Well, it wasn’t just one. It was what you might call a small squadron. This again is representative of the Yel, similar to the idea of the so-called Tic Tac ships that you’ve been experiencing in your North American area. And again, is the idea of an announcement: “We are here. What do you make of it? Can you get used to us?” You will see our ships more and more often, as we have said. So the Yel are announcing themselves, presenting themselves, getting you used to the idea of their presence in more and more and bolder ways as we approach the beginning of the window of open contact in 2023. This is what 2022 can mostly be about with regard to contact: more and more visibility of different versions of craft and different ETs that are visiting your planet or passing through. More and more awareness of our existence, their existence. So again, you will be better prepared for 2023 when the window of contact begins. Not that everything will be happening all at once, as we have often said, but it is the beginning. And more can happen in a more accelerated way the more you recognize that they are here.

Niia: Yeah. It’s interesting. In a sense, we’re being kind to ourselves by having a gradual acceptance of the existence of extraterrestrials. Yes. And yet, at the same time, there’s many other things that we seem to do to ourselves on this planet that would not be described as kind.

Bashar: You are nothing if not a planet of contradictions. Go. This is why we call you the masters of limitation. Remember? But you are shifting from being the masters of limitation to being the masters of limitless. Big difference. Yes. All right. So open up, let go, and you’ll be able to master your limitations and move forward.

Niia: And can you comment on the significance of the coming winter solstice in 2021? Some people are saying it has an importance. It’s a nine-year period from the 12/21 solstice, and it will allow the manifestation of 4D to come more quickly. Is there anything else?

Bashar: If you use it that way, again, nine in your world is the number of the cycle of completion. So yes, you’re going into a new cycle. And a new cycle brings with it the opportunity to accelerate your experience of going from third density to fourth density while you are physical. So yes, you can use it that way as a permission slip. And again, as we are approaching the idea of transitioning from your orbit of 2021 into the orbit of 2022, again, you can accelerate by being more open, more aware of different things that were heretofore invisible to you. Not only the idea of extraterrestrial craft, but more of your own psyche, more of your own consciousness can become visible to you as you drop the barriers that you have created and the compartments you have created between different portions of your personality/consciousness.

Niia: Okay. And is there any reason to avoid the mRNA vaccines that would be Moderna and Pfizer? Any reason to avoid that?

Bashar: You may create different reasons. You may have set up different reasons. Fundamentally, there are no reasons. It can represent a path of least resistance in physical terms to moving forward. But again, you have to make your own determinations because you have politicized all of these things. We cannot tell you what to do because we cannot intervene in your political decisions. But the idea is that, fundamentally, aside from other situations and conditions you may have set up within yourself that would give you an actual reason to avoid this, then you have to remember: you’re the one creating the reasons to avoid the idea of taking advantage of what has been offered to you in physical terms as a path of least resistance. But again, we have to leave that up to you.

Niia: Okay. Well, thank you for clarifying that. Yes. And then, um, from your perspective, what advice would you give us and our governments to turn climate change around at the present time?

Bashar: You cannot turn it around. The only thing you could do is shift yourself to a parallel reality where it hasn’t gone as far as it already has in your reality experience. So the idea is that if you’re going to stay in the process of mitigation and management of the climate change that has already occurred in the timelines you have already chosen to participate in, then certainly you can restore the things that have been destroyed on the earth, such as forests. You can do many different kinds of things to mitigate the use of polluting energies. You can allow yourselves to move forward in the utilization and discovery of non-polluting energies. So there are many things you can do to mitigate and manage the idea. But in your timeline, you can’t turn it around. You’ve already passed the point where it’s going to continue to some degree.

Niia: So when did we pass that point?

Bashar: In the 80s.

Niia: And how are we far gone enough that the conveyor in the ocean could stop?

Bashar: Could. Not will. Could. You can still mitigate and manage some of that. But again, you would have to unify and act quickly. But again, even if you go farther than that, many of you will still find new ways to experience your reality and shift into parallel realities where the mitigation would allow you the opportunity to investigate new lifestyles, new experiences of what a city is all about, new communities that would be more conducive to living in harmony with nature. Which may be part of the point that you are learning in choosing this particular timeline experience as you shift through different billions of parallel realities per second.

Niia: What about the ice sheet in Antarctica that has lately been noticing they’re noticing that it is declining or destabilizing faster than they expected? And it’s about the size of Florida.

Bashar: So much more of that will destabilize and melt away into your oceans, raising the sea levels to some degree, which can cause more things like storm surges and climate changes and stronger tornadoes, stronger hurricanes, sea level rising, and so on and so forth. So again, it’s about learning to unify, learning to work together so that you can create a new society that may have to move forward by doing things very differently than the way you have done. But at the same time, don’t let that stop you from creating new forests, planting new trees, finding new ways to create energy that are non-polluting. This is all part of the package you have signed on for. So move forward as best as you can.

Niia: Um, we will have help in doing all of this?

Bashar: We are helping you. Others are helping you. It’ll be a very different world, but you can learn to live in it. And you can actually experience the joy of changing the way you do things by creating a whole new lifestyle for all the people on your planet if you’re willing to work together.

Niia: Okay. That’s a hopeful sign. Um, I mean, something like that ice sheet, if it were to collapse into the ocean with it being that size, how imminent is something like that? Within five years at the most?

Bashar: Okay. As we read the energy now. Very exciting.

Topic: Frequencies, Hybridization, and Final Guidance

Niia: Um, some more hybrid questions. Hybrid children questions. Um, how are beings from other star systems, like the Anunnaki and Sirians, able to visit Earth without damaging their physical bodies? Do their planets have oxygen, water, etc., like Earth?

Bashar: Yes. They wouldn’t necessarily have landed on your planet if they didn’t have the ability to either adapt or survive in the environment as it is, or bring protective equipment with them, just like you do when you visit your moon. So the idea, again, is it’s not that difficult. They’re close enough. Remember, you are genetically connected to the Anunnaki. Therefore, in a sense, you are very much like them. So yes, they were oxygen-breathing, or well, atmosphere-breathing, in the way that your atmosphere is constructed, similar enough that they could adapt, just as you could adapt to certain planets like ours with a little time. So the idea is: there are many that can adapt to your atmosphere. Those that can’t would bring their protective equipment with them to be able to survive on the surface.

Niia: So how did the early contact in our history handle the higher vibration of the ETs they were in contact with? Who said that all of the ETs they were in contact with had higher vibrations to the point where they couldn’t handle it?

Bashar: You’re making an assumption. When we talk about the idea of not being able to handle our frequency or the frequency of some other ET races, that doesn’t necessarily generally apply across the board to every single ET race. Humanity has made some strides in its evolution, making you more vibrationally compatible to some ET races, especially those that may be your distant cousins and so on and so forth. Plus, there may be some ETs that are willing to adapt their frequencies to your reality in order to interact with you. And again, remember, we have often said that some of these encounters don’t take place in what you consider to be your normal reality. You may actually be having these encounters in a slightly shifted vibrational reality that is germane and vibrationally compatible with both humans and the ETs. So never assume that things are just normal, like they’re landing on your planet in your reality, interacting with you in your vibrational state. You may be slightly shifted and not even know it. But nevertheless, it doesn’t mean that all ETs are vibrating at a frequency that is something beyond what you can handle if you make even the slightest upgrade in your frequency.

Niia: Like, what would you assess Pleiadian frequency at?

Bashar: Pleiadian frequency is higher than yours, but not out of reach. So again, they may shift the vibration into a different reality that’s vibrationally compatible with both of you. In that reality, again, it may not be happening in what you consider to be your physical reality, even though it may seem so. But they’re not that far beyond you. Many of you could make the shift into their vibration, and many of you have made the shift into their vibratory frequency. So the idea is simply to recognize that you’ve come a long way. There are many that are, in a shamanistic way, able to match their frequency. Love yourself unconditionally, and you won’t be that far away from the frequency that they experience for themselves.

Niia: I know it’s interesting that the way that we prepare for contact is to let go of our negative beliefs, which keep our frequency low.

Bashar: Yes. Very interesting.

Niia: And um, what about the hybrid children? Like, what frequency range would you say they will be? The ones that come here.

Bashar: Some of them may be able to lower and raise their frequency in a way that would make them slightly more vibrationally compatible with some humans. But for a while, it will take some time to adapt to your reality, and some time for humanity to adapt to them. But on average, most of them will not necessarily go lower than 180,000 cycles per second, and most of them will average somewhere in the mid-200,000 range, at least. And the majority of the people on our planet currently are below 100,000. Correct?

Niia: Correct. Okay. But those of us that are exploring this path of transformation and letting go of negative energies and things like that, what range is that generally on average?

Bashar: The people that are willing to open up and explore the idea and expand the idea of their consciousness, willing to let go of fear-based and negative belief systems, willing to express being of service to all and unconditional love as best as possible, can certainly at least average 150,000 cycles per second to 190,000 cycles per second. So there is an overlap there between the hybrid children and humanity.

Niia: And just so that for those that may not be familiar with this: 333,000 cycles per second is the transformation from physical to non-physical energy, right?

Bashar: Yes.

Niia: And so that gives you an idea. And the Essani are running close to 333,000 cycles per second, right?

Bashar: Close. We operate only in the 300,000 and go up and down according to what we need to go up and down for, for a variety of reasons. But yes, the transition from physical to non-physical reality is 333,000 cycles per second, although your scientists don’t yet understand what it is that that exactly measures.

Niia: So the Anunnaki who created the Homo Sapien—that went against their rules, so to speak—what frequency range were those beings?

Bashar: They were operating somewhere around the 100,000, 120,000, 130,000 vibrations per second range. So it also shows how you can make great advances technologically but not necessarily have a high frequency to a point. Right? As witnessed by what happened with the beings, the parallel-reality humans that mutated into the Gray. Yes. They had a very advanced technology, but their spirituality was lacking.

Niia: What frequency range were they functioning at in the midst of the idea of the destruction of their world?

Bashar: They were only operating somewhere around 60,000 to 70,000 cycles per second.

Niia: Gosh. It’s just amazing. But at the same time, you’ve said that we really don’t have to be concerned about negative ETs because their frequency range would not be compatible with ours in some way or something. Correct?

Bashar: You would have to match that frequency for yourself to have any interaction awareness at all. And even the idea of interactional awareness actually comes with the idea of raising your frequency. Because remember, negative energy segregates and separates and divides, whereas higher frequencies integrate. So most of the ETs that we are interacting with, then, would be higher-frequency ETs. Yes. High enough that they pose no threat to you. I see. Even though there may be misunderstandings, even though they may have very different ways of interacting, nothing that you’re interacting with as humans on Earth are actually being exposed to what you would actually literally call “negative extraterrestrials.” You are simply unaware of them.

Niia: Okay. Um, this person’s saying they feel a lot of love and support from their hybrid children, but they feel overwhelmed by feelings of deep grief, separation, longing, and loneliness for the children. Any suggestions on how to work with that?

Bashar: Well, again, they’re thinking in terms of separation. They’re thinking in terms of negative energy. You have to allow yourself to be in a positive state to feel the connections that are always there. Remember that grief may actually simply be the negative interpretation of being contacted by spirits. Because if you’re interpreting the connection that they’re sending to you, the energy they’re sending to you, as if they are lost to you, you will experience their love in the form of grief. Grief is the negative side of love being sent from spirit. So anytime you may suddenly feel the grief of the loss of someone physical, you may actually be receiving a communication from them but interpreting it in a negative way. Interpreting it as if you are not connected to them, thus experiencing their love connection as grief. So stop experiencing the idea, or defining the idea, as if they are lost to you or truly separated from you. You just need to reach out to them in a different way and know that you’re always connected.

Niia: And back to that question of frequency: one person asked if, basically, are there any beings who vibrate millions or even billions of cycles per second? And if so, what are they like?

Bashar: Well, they would mostly be non-physical in different dimensions of reality beyond, sometimes, even what you can imagine. Of course, the idea in general of what you would call God/Goddess, “All That Is,” would be operating at an infinite frequency.

Niia: Oh. And so as far as the hybridization agenda goes, why is the hybridization agenda in our best interest?

Bashar: Because it’s part of Earth’s evolutionary path that you’ve all chosen: to become the sixth hybrid race, to advance yourself in a variety of ways that will open up access to the galaxies of the universe to you. This is the way you’re improving yourself. This is the way you’re reclaiming the genetics that the Anunnaki shut down within you when they created Homo Sapiens. By injecting the idea of other genetics within yourself, you supersede what the Anunnaki did, overcome and overwhelm it, and expand your energy field to the high frequencies that will allow you to expand from the Earth into the galaxy.

Niia: Okay. And can you give us a permission slip to help us connect with our hybrid children?

Bashar: Nature is always a wonderful permission slip, because the hybrid children are very strongly aware of their connection to nature. Which is why, when they come to live among you, most of them will take names from nature: flowers, trees, rivers, rocks, mountains, and so on and so forth. So the idea of allowing yourself to be out in nature, to be one with nature, to be as nature, will allow a stronger connection as a permission slip to the hybrid children, who are very familiar with their connection and expression as nature. Of course, as always, follow the formula.

Niia: Right. And so in closing, you know, this is the end of 2021. We’re about to go into a new year and everything, and a lot of things are uncertain to us as far as what’s going to happen with the pandemic, with all the changes that we’re going through, with contact. Is there anything you’d like to share with us about as a guiding mechanism or how to approach the eye of the needle and 2022 as we move in that direction?

Bashar: You may have uncertainty about things, but you don’t have to be uncertain about what being yourself and acting on the formula will do in terms of propelling you forward in the most positive, joyful, loving way. That you can be certain of. So even if you choose to experience uncertainties, understand that these are there for the purpose of process, for the purpose of discovering beliefs that don’t work for you and letting them go. And you can be certain that that’s what that’s for. Be certain that your uncertainty is for the purpose of knowing yourself more clearly, expanding yourself, accelerating yourself. So use uncertainty in a certain way. Be confident. Be confident. Even if you feel you lack confidence, you are confident about that. So use your confidence in the direction that you prefer.

Again, 2022 will be the year, the orbit preceding the beginning of the window of contact. So allow yourself, through the eye of the needle, to streamline, to reduce yourself to your essential self as best as you can. To use everything to your advantage by staying in a positive state. And to strip away those things that don’t work for you, that don’t belong to you, that aren’t in alignment with your core vibration. Be clear within yourself and transparent within yourself as to what is truly happening between the differences of discernment of excitement and anxiety. Let go of those things. And don’t be afraid to face the processes that will bring you into more recognition of yourself.

We are now beginning to give you an exercise that we have called “The Mirror Mirror Reflection,” which we will take you through in a moment. But first, again, let us simply express to you our unconditional love and our joy and excitement at the processes you are willing and in agreement of going through that will allow you to experience more of who you truly are. We wish you happy holidays, happy New Year. And now it’s time to face yourself in the mirror, your true self. So relax and let us guide you. Thank you.

The Mirror Mirror Reflection Exercise Instructions

Bashar: Therefore, we will proceed now with the idea of the instructions for doing the Mirror Mirror Reflection exercise in your own homes, on your own time, when it is comfortable for you.

So we want you to imagine now, while you are relaxing and breathing, that you find a mirror in your home or wherever is convenient for you to spend 15 minutes privately, quietly, alone, without interruption. Be it a mirror on the wall, a mirror in your hand if it is steady enough, whatever mirror works for you. Steadier might be a little bit better. We want you to stand before it very, very close. Not so close that you cannot focus on your image, but close enough that you can really look deeply into your own eyes.

And while you continue to breathe regularly, calmly, peacefully, and deeply, just spend a few minutes doing that. Get used to the idea of staring at your own eyes. It’s all right if you blink now and then, but we are suggesting that you do not break from looking at your own eyes. If you find yourself looking away, looking down, looking up, looking anywhere but at your own eyes, then this exercise is exactly what you may need to clear yourself out of the reasons why you may not be able to look deeply in your own eyes. But if you can hold your gaze, do so. Even if it becomes very uncomfortable for you over time, over the course of the 15 minutes, do your best to maintain the gaze. And if you should break the gaze and look away, go back, re-engage yourself, reconnect with the image in the mirror, look directly into your eyes. We understand that you may, in a sense, let your eyes kind of switch between the left and the right, and that’s all right, as long as you are willing to gauge the overall vision as a whole thing. Whether you’re looking at the left or the right, just understand it’s still looking into your eyes, both of them simultaneously.

And allow yourself, once you have felt that you have established a peaceful, consistent gaze, ask this question—whether in your mind or out loud doesn’t matter: “Who are you really?”

And then ask the question: “Who am I really?”

And sit with that for the first five minutes. “Who are you really? Who am I really?” And allow yourself to continue to breathe through that part of the exercise. Allow yourself to continue to ask it, but then allow some silence, quiet time, to receive whatever answers come. They don’t have to make sense. They don’t have to be accurate. They just have to be answers of a sort. Just let them come.

So in that sense, there are three positions to this first part:

1. The question: “Who are you really?”
2. Then the question: “Who am I really?”
3. And then the silence that gives space for the answer.

And after you have allowed a little bit of time—30 seconds, maybe a minute the most—then go back into “Who are you really? Who am I really?” while continuing to gaze into your eyes. And then let the silence come to allow the answer to form, or whatever response you get. It may not seem to be an answer. Just let it come. Don’t judge it. Don’t resist it. “Who are you really? Who am I really?” And let the space be filled with whatever comes. Do this as you breathe for five minutes. You can have a timer if you wish. It won’t interrupt anything. It’s up to you. Or you can just feel it out intuitively. And 15 minutes again is not an absolute. Should you go 14? Should you go 17? That’s all right. The only thing you’re attempting to do is to have three equal segments here of five, five, and five, roughly.

So you now know what you’re doing for the first five: “Who are you really? Who am I really?” and whatever answer fills the space.

Then, in the next five minutes, continue to gaze deeply, to really allow yourself to get to know yourself truly, deeply. Feel the resonance, the spark of “All That Is” in your core as you gaze into your own eyes.

And then ask: “Why are you here really?” “Why am I here really?”

And let the answer come. Let the reflection unfold. “Why are you here really? Why am I here really?” And let the silence be filled by whatever comes. Continue to breathe throughout that five minutes. And again, let the silence be… you know, roughly 30 seconds, roughly a minute. Don’t push. Don’t force. This is not about intensity, unless you feel intensity. That’s good as a response. But you don’t have to force it to happen. Just: “Why are you here really?” Looking into your own eyes. And then: “Why am I here really?” And then the silence that is filled by whatever comes.

So:

• “Who are you really? Who am I really?” and silence.
• “Why are you here really? Why am I here really?” and silence.

For another one-third of the time, five minutes, give or take. Keep breathing.

If you find yourself at any point during this exercise becoming uncomfortable, then that’s the third part. You allow yourself to remember that there were moments where you may have had discomfort or confusion or questions may have come up. And in the third part, allow yourself to ask yourself, ask your reflection in the mirror:

“What are you holding on to that you don’t really need?” “What am I holding on to that I don’t really need?”

And the silence for the answer to come. “What are you holding on to that you don’t really need? What am I holding on to that I don’t really need?” And let the answer come. If there is discomfort, let it blossom. Let it inform you. Because you are asking yourself for the truth. Your truth. You’re asking yourself for honesty. You’re asking in yourself for clarity. In this exercise, in this reflection, you are asking yourself for knowledge. And you are making a commitment to know yourself more clearly, more transparently, more fully.

So keep breathing through it. And at the end of the 15 minutes, or whatever the time passage is—don’t go too much longer, because again, 15 minutes is about the average time that it takes to rewire your neurological net in your brain and your body to let it sink in, to let it imprint itself in a way that allows you to know that as you emerge from this reflective exercise, you will have opened up a doorway through which knowledge will continue to come, through which awareness will continue to come, through which transparency will continue to open you up to more and more knowledge of yourself, to know yourself more clearly, more fully, more freely.

So:

• “Who are you really? Who am I really?”
• “Why are you here really? Why am I here really?”
• “What are you holding on to that you really don’t need? What am I holding on to that I really don’t need?”

Begin this dialogue, this conversation. The higher mind will come into it. Different aspects of your consciousness will come into it. Different belief systems will make themselves known. Stick with it. Each and every day. This will also help accelerate you throughout this year in preparation for the year to come of 2023, when the doors and the gates to open contact will start to open. Be prepared. Be prepared for surprises and imaginings yet to come. But start here and now with the reflections in the mirror. The reflections of your consciousness. The reflections that will allow you to let go of those things that simply are not you. Continue to breathe through it and be at peace. And be enjoyed. And let go of those things that simply are not you.

So do this exercise if you can, if you’re willing, once a day. All year. Not going to force you. Not going to say one thing is better than another. If you can do it every other day, if you can do it once a week, once a month, do so. Less than once a month may not necessarily be as effective as once a month, at least. But doing it every day… just to use your common vernacular… when you have passed a certain mark, when you become a certain frequency, when you become just enough transparent to yourself, when you know yourself, your true self, when you cross that threshold, when you have that “aha” moment, I guarantee it will blow your mind. So have fun.
