Insistence vs. Persistence**
Bashar: We are exploring the idea of the difference between insistence and persistence generally speaking just to give an overview. Insistence is usually something based on negative belief systems, fear-based belief systems, whereas persistence is the continued focus, continued willingness to act on your passion. It is more of a positive idea of sticking with something you know is true for you.
We are not saying that you can’t use the word insistence casually, but like every definition we have discussed, it’s important to understand the difference between using something casually and knowing what is really meant by its use, or really falling into the habit of insisting on things which are not necessarily representative of your path. So we understand that when someone on your planet says, “Oh please allow me to pay for this,” and someone says, “Oh no no,” and then the first person says, “Oh I insist,” we understand that that’s not what we’re discussing here. That’s simply a casual use of the idea of “please allow me to do this favor for you, please allow me to give you this gift,” and in that context is what “I insist” means.
We are talking about the idea of forcing your will upon circumstances in a direction that may not necessarily be representative of your true vibration, of your true path, of your passion and excitement. So the idea of insistence as we have said is resistance, because you are not necessarily going with the flow that is created and generated by acting on your passion. It is something that your ego believes is necessary or wants to be necessary, and insisting on something is resistance because you are not necessarily allowing what really needs to happen to manifest in your life, but insisting that if certain things don’t happen in a certain way then something has gone wrong. It is a self-judging, self-depreciating, and self-invalidating idea to be insistent when allowing the flow to bring you what it is that’s necessary at any given moment will create an ability to use synchronicity in a positive way, manifesting what it is you truly need at that moment.
To explore understanding that the process is the point, that the journey is the destination, without focusing too much on the idea of a goal, a completion that you think is necessary. So, insistence [is] resistance in that sense, because insistence is not allowing the flow of energy, the flow of high frequency through your neurological system of your body. It is a tightening, a clamping down, a forcing of a situation which constricts your neurological net, your nervous system in your body, and doesn’t allow for the free flow of energy that represents a more high frequency of your passion. And so as that resistance builds up, as more insistence is heaped upon your body, it creates breakdowns, stress, disease, so on and so forth.
So it’s about relaxing your grip on what your ego thinks should happen and being willing to allow what really needs to happen to come from your higher mind to present you with what is necessary for you to consider, what is necessary for you to explore, what is necessary for you to investigate and respond to in a positive way in the next moment. And as we have said, even if what manifests next is something you objectively don’t prefer, something that you recognize is simply not vibrationally compatible with your core frequency of who you are, it’s still there for a reason. And if you allow yourself to know it’s there for a reason, then you can relax and say, “All right, show me what I need to know.” You can use it in a positive way. You can ask, “Why is this here now? What do I have to learn from this situation, this circumstance, this manifestation that is clearly what I do not prefer?”
And as we have said, if nothing else, you can use what you don’t prefer to clarify by contrast what you do prefer, which is a positive way to use something you don’t prefer that’s manifested. And as soon as you use it up and learn the lesson it brought you, then it will vanish because it has served its purpose. So the idea again is, insisting that that is not something that belongs in your life is an invalidation of the unfolding of your life, and invalidation of what is necessary for you to look at, invalidation of the lesson that’s in that situation for you to move forward in your life, to grow as a soul, to allow yourself to open up to the idea that anything can be used to further your path if you stay in a positive state and allow it to flow naturally to you through synchronicity.
Trusting what happens in front of you is the most important thing that needs to happen at that moment, and by acting on your passion and by being willing to stay in that positive state, then you automatically persist, keep choosing in the direction of your passion, of your excitement, of your creativity, of your joy, of your love, because that is built in to the idea of your passion. The idea is that passion does not require discipline per se, because the idea is that if you are really passionate and excited about doing something, then there is really no other choice for you. You will automatically choose that first above and beyond any other choice, and therefore the persistence, the willingness to continue to take action in that direction—in other words—comes automatically because there simply doesn’t seem to be any other choice that makes sense, that’s logical for you to pursue.
So persistence is something that’s built in, comes automatically with your passion, and insistence is something that you have to push against, something you have to force, something that your ego says should be what should happen, but your inner being knows is not necessarily what is true for you, and yet there is fear in that—fear that something won’t happen, fear that your life will not unfold in the way that works for you.
So learn to discern the difference, learn the difference between true excitement and anxiety, because insistence is usually the product of anxiety, whereas excitement will automatically bring you the persistence you need to continue to act on your passion and your joy throughout your entire life. That is the fundamental difference between the two energies. We thank you for allowing us to share this with you this day, and in return for the gift you have given us, we ask you now: in what way may we be of service to you? You may begin with your dialogues and your questions if you wish.
Timeline and Evolutionary Speed
Questioner: You say you are Daryl 300 years in the future in another parallel reality.
So 300 years in our counting is about four generations for us. I’m very, very excited to know that in such a short, short amount of time that our civilization can be similar to what yours is now.
But I just want to make sure I’m understanding that right, because to me it seems like four generations almost isn’t enough time for us to get to such a place as your civilization. So I must be misunderstanding that. But I do just want to express that it is very exciting obviously if our educational and economic and all types of other systems, energy system, can get to the place that is more in alignment with who we are.
Bashar: The relationship in time between our civilization and your civilization has nothing to do with how quickly you may arrive where we are evolutionarily. We’re simply making a comparison that you can understand.
Our dimension is 10 times faster than yours. So the spread between us in a sense is really truly more like 3,000 years. Nevertheless, we have already said you’ll probably be able to be somewhat similar to where we are in about 1,000 of your years, not 300.
The idea is that you simply look at your timeline and our timeline in a way that makes it seem as if we are 300 years ahead, but again, experientially we are more like 3,000 years ahead of you.
But you’ll catch up in about a thousand years because you have the opportunity to use the information we’re sharing with all of you and other information coming from other sources that can accelerate you greatly, so that you don’t necessarily have to spend 3,000 of your years catching up to where we are now. So about a thousand years from now, you will be somewhat similar to where we are now.
Childhood Frequency Shifts and Fear
Questioner: I remember remembering at least three situations when I felt that a part of me is starting to uh moving, let’s say that my mind at least with a different frequency, and I have such impression that anything around me it’s a little bit slower than me. I was very scared at that situation, but yeah, it happened.
Bashar: many people, especially in their youth, will recognize that they may still be carrying a higher frequency from their time in spirit and may instinctively compare it to the slower frequency of the density of physical reality. It’s a natural thing to notice that there is a difference between those two frequencies. You may maintain that through your life and that’s fine if you do. Just recognize all it’s showing you is that there is a difference between the frequency of Spirit and the frequency of physical reality, because physical reality is slower, is denser. So nothing to be concerned about. It’s your ability to be able to walk in both worlds, to recognize your connection to Spirit while at the same time exploring the concept of physical reality. Does that explain it to you?
Questioner: Yes, thank you very much. I have another question. It is related to uh our… I think everybody’s path in wanting to trying to uh shift our reality and increase the consciousness. The main obstacle for me it’s fear. Yeah, fear of… what? That is the problem. That mentally I am opened to do… I don’t know, things, to explore new areas.
Bashar: All right. Well, emotionally, what are you afraid might happen if you do move forward?
Questioner: I have no idea. When something it’s… it’s happening, you let’s say that I am starting to be very tensed, yeah, and I practically sometimes just lose this statement because this tension.
Bashar: Yeah. All right, but I don’t believe that you don’t know what it is. You have to do some self-investigation and you have to be honest about what it is you’re afraid will happen if you move forward on your passion. So get in touch with your emotions, get in touch with your heart, get in touch with the fear. It’s there telling you that you have a belief system that’s out of alignment with who you are. If you do honest self-investigation, you can find out what it is, but you have to ask yourself those questions and be willing to hear the answers. “What are you afraid will happen if you move forward on your passion?” Take some time, meditate on it. You’ll discover what the fear is all about, but it’s not true that you don’t know; you’re just not willing to hear it at this particular point.
Questioner: All right, thank you very much.
Topic 4: The Mer-Ka-Ba
Questioner: Yes, and uh another question, it’s about Mer-Ka-Ba. Yes. I let’s say that find out a lot of information, uh tried something to do, uh but for me it’s a little bit unclear. Let’s say that if we are discussing about Mer-Ka-Ba like about a vehicle, in some simplified… yeah, so how can I maintain it? How can I know if it is maintained? How often I have to… I don’t know, do things to maintain this vehicle?
Bashar: Well, you don’t have to. Again, as we just said, we’ll find out that when you’re following your passion, the persistence or maintaining of something will come in a natural pace, but it doesn’t have to be there all the time. You just have to know that you’re connected to that vibrational energy. It doesn’t mean you have to picture it all the time. The Mer-Ka-Ba is simply a three-dimensional version of the idea of “As Above, So Below”—the idea that everything in spirit exists first, and that whatever is in spirit can manifest, at least to some degree, in physical reality. That anything in physical reality exists first in spirit as a form, as a template, that can solidify or crystallize in physical reality.
So the Mer-Ka-Ba is simply a three-dimensional symbol, a permission slip, that represents the idea of “As Above, So Below.” So if you know that, then you’re connected to it, and it doesn’t matter whether you’re aware of that all the time, because you’re focused on whatever it is that gives you passion. Just know that you’re connected to it. It’s as simple as that.
Questioner: And uh, I do not need say, let’s say, to do especially for this some meditations or things?
Bashar: It’s up to you. It’s up to you. The idea is, what you’re attracted to will work for you. If you’re attracted to do meditations, then do them. If you’re not, then don’t. The idea is that again, when you are willing to act on your passion, whatever permission slip you need to give yourself permission to be more of who you are will come in whatever form it needs to, automatically, through synchronicity. So you don’t have to overthink this. You don’t have to focus so much on the details. Just act on whatever you’re excited to act on, because everything in physical reality is simply a permission slip that you use because you have a belief that says, “If I do this, it will allow me to give myself permission to be more of who I am.” So it’s really up to you.
Questioner: All right, make sense. Yes. Does that help you?
Bashar: Yes.
Questioner: Bashar, thank you very much and bless you, and thank you again for all of all of things that you are doing for us.
Bashar: You are very welcome. AO.
Topic 5: Essenes and Ashtar
Questioner: Hi Bashar, what a joy and pleasure to be in contact with you right now. Um, quick question. Uh, I wanted to know if there’s any correlation or relation between the Essene race and the Ashtar community of Qumran that existed about 2,000 years ago of our Earthly timeline. Um, I look at the phonetics and the spelling of the name and I wonder if there’s some type of connection between the Ashtar and the Esseni race. Uh, one thing I do know is that the Essenes did have communication with um angelic beings, so to speak. So again, just wanted to know if there’s a connection between the Ashtar and Esseni. Give thanks. B Peace.
Bashar: There is a very slight offshoot connection where the word and the energy got changed somewhat from very ancient times in the recognition of the Ashtarani race on your planet, giving their name to the Middle Eastern culture of that name, Esseni. So there is a slight connection, but not a major connection. It’s more of the idea of a concept drifting into a different culture and being changed by certain assumptions and certain practices that existed at the time. So there is a slight connection, but even those using the word did not even necessarily recognize the connection to the more ancient culture that existed before it.
Topic 6: Identity, Bliss, and Light Grids
Questioner: Hello dear Bashar, good day.
Bashar: Good day. What would you like to discuss this day?
Questioner: I have some uh question for you please. Yes. Uh, when you refer to yourself as Bashar, what are you still identified with? What’s the process you do to pass beyond the identification with the limited self? We understand that the word is connected some degree to the channel’s physical background, genetic background, and it was chosen because in that particular culture the word means “messenger,” which is what we’re doing. We’re giving you messages. So it’s not my name, it’s simply referring to something that I’m doing, but it’s a convenient thing to use for your reality, and it also gives the channel something to explore about his own background and connection to that particular culture. Okay. And there is still a limited self that you are identified with?
Bashar: Remember that we impose certain limitations upon our ability to communicate with you because those limitations are representative of making sure that we don’t give you information that will intervene in your process. When I am in my own culture, my own civilization, I may no longer have those limitations, but we choose certain limitations in communicating with all of you so that we do not interfere with your process by giving you something we’re not supposed to give you.
Questioner: Wow. So it sounds like you live in a state of bliss continuously?
Bashar: Yes. Thank you. Why not? We have no reason to choose otherwise.
Questioner: Okay. Is it possible for you to share this state of being with me?
Bashar: We have shared it with you by giving you the formula: Act on your passion to the best you can, no insistence or assumption on the outcome, stay in a positive state no matter what happens, and examine your beliefs and let go of your fear-based or negative beliefs that are no longer relevant for you. That’s the formula that describes how to live in a high-frequency vibration that will allow your life to flow in bliss and synchronicity.
Questioner: Okay, thank you. Another question please. I feel I am a dot in a light grid work, and my question is: how to use this intelligent light grid work for being in contact and uh communicate with uh my oversoul healers and other healers from the universe?
Bashar: It is necessary for you again to follow the formula and allow whatever it is that needs to happen, whatever synchronistically needs to come to you as a relevant or important connection, to simply come automatically through synchronicity. But the best way to be allowing is to follow the formula, because it raises your frequency to a level where the things you need can come to you more easily. That’s why we give you the formula, because it works for anything and everything in your life that’s important. Okay? We keep it simple. We don’t overthink it. We don’t overcomplicate it.
Questioner: Okay, okay. Thank you. Does that help you?
Bashar: Uh, yes, yes. Anything else?
Questioner: Yes. Uh, in my deep meditations I arrived to a state of fear that I don’t succeed to overcome.
Bashar: Why would you give yourself that story? Is that story more real to you than the story of simply being yourself, which is the true measure of success? It’s not about accomplishing a particular goal. Remember, it’s not about insisting that a particular thing needs to happen. You don’t know what the ideal outcome is. So allowing your life to unfold naturally and automatically will bring you to whatever the ideal outcome is, even though it may at the moment be something you’re not aware of. So allowing yourself to let go of the fear because you insist that a certain thing must happen, or that something is wrong, or that you have failed or not succeeded, is exactly, in a sense, how you don’t succeed. By worrying that you won’t succeed, you don’t succeed, because you don’t need to worry about that. If you follow the formula, the things that you need in life will automatically come to you. That’s how it works. You just need to understand that it’s an automatic mechanism. Okay? Does this help you?
Questioner: Partially.
Bashar: So what is it you do not understand?
Questioner: Oh, um, you know, here on Earth we say that we have very short time slots, so it will be good if we get enlightened, but I feel like it’s up to you…
Bashar: Remember that you’re an eternal being, an infinite being. What’s your hurry? What’s your rush? You’re already exploring the idea of expanding your consciousness, and the time that you have decided to have on Earth is exactly the perfect amount of time for whatever it is that was important to you to experience as a soul. So don’t worry about the idea of the length of the time, because you pick the perfect amount of time. You will not leave before your time; you will not stay after your time, which you already determined from Spirit. So it’s the perfect amount of time for what it is you decided to explore. Yes?
Questioner: Yes.
Bashar: So don’t focus on that. At the end, the goal of life is just experiencing and living with joy, yes? Because that’s going to teach you everything you wanted to learn as a soul, and then you will move on to something else to learn something new. But the amount of time that you chose is exactly the perfect amount of time for what it is you chose to explore. So don’t feel that your time is short. The way you actually, paradoxically, feel like time is short is because you worry about time, because you’re creating the illusion of time. So if you focus on the idea that time is short, that’s what you will experience, even though it will still be the perfect amount of time. Maybe you wanted to explore the idea of being worried about the shortness of time; that may be one of the things you chose to think about, to explore and let go of. So if you let go of that, you’ll be using your time wisely, and it will be the perfect amount of time in which to explore these things.
Questioner: All right. Yes. With other words, is to… to stay in the present?
Bashar: Absolutely. Because then you experience the least amount of time and the most amount of time, paradoxically. Yes. It’s like when I am very focused in this right now, it’s like time is expanding.
Questioner: Yes, very.
Bashar: When you stay in the moment, you don’t experience as much time, but from the point of view of everyone else, you actually live longer, okay? Because you’re not aging as much by not experiencing the passage of time as much, by living in the present. Because the amount of time you feel like you experienced is the actual amount of time you’ve actually aged. So if you’re focused on your passion and it feels like 15 minutes has gone by, and then you look up and you see that 2 hours have passed, that may be true for the rest of the world, but you’ve only aged 15 minutes because that’s the amount of time you experienced. That’s the amount of time you created in that moment—only 15 minutes, as opposed to two hours. That’s what living in the present does for you. So it actually increases your lifespan, but at the same time, it collapses the amount of time you actually experience.
Questioner: And it will be 15 minutes… meaningful?
Bashar: Yes, of course. Absolutely totally meaningful, because you’re focused on your passion, which is your truth.
Questioner: Okay. All right. Does that help you?
Bashar: Yes. All right. Thank you.
Questioner: Yes. It’s like uh, I coming back home from mind… it’s going back to the heart. It is coming home the body. It is coming home.
Bashar: It’s not like coming home; it is coming home. So good day and welcome home.
Questioner: Thank you very much. Masala.
Topic 7: Hybrid Children and Dating
Questioner: A. Hi Bashar. It’s Dami from Israel. I’m curious about the hybrid children, the teenage ones from 16 years old and above. Do they date between them like Earth kids? They have all their hormones and date each other? And the older ones, can the girls get pregnant? Do they start a family between them? Is it happening on the ships? Thank you.
Bashar: They do not respond to the idea of hormones in the same way that Earth teenagers do. They do have them, but they’re of a higher vibratory state. They can start families on the ships; more often than not, they do not. They will often wait until they arrive on Earth so that the starting of a family can blend in more with the way that Earth culture expresses itself in terms of its replication. They don’t date in the same way that you do, but they simply recognize that connections exist, that agreements have been made on a higher level, and gravitate to each other based on their awareness of those connections. But it’s a very different sensation, a very different experience, than the way many Earth teenagers will gravitate to one another, even though the reason they gravitate may be similar. The hybrid children are far more aware of the reasons for the agreements and what it is that they need to get out of them, rather than being quite so unconscious about it.
Topic 8: Sleep Paralysis, Lucid Dreaming, and Soul Contracts
Questioner: Hello. Good day.
Bashar: Good day.
Questioner: I’m so thank for the opportunity to be able to speak to you today, and I’d like to begin with some context and explore maybe two or three topics with you, time considering. All right. Please proceed. Okay. So I have been blessed with the opportunity to be born into a culture and religion where the physical and the spiritual interactions are the norm.
Bashar: And what religion is that?
Questioner: That is the Catholic religion and the Haitian culture. All right. And so my entire life, speaking to the spirits, being aware of the angels and the guides, has been the norm. And when I was in my teen years, a movie was released that was extremely popular which magnified the stereotypes of the culture, and then I found myself just really hiding the fact of that interaction. So I say all that to say my core beliefs has been deeply rooted in the connection of the spiritual and the physical world. Right. So the first topic I wanted to explore was sleep. Yes. I’ve had lucid dreaming my entire life, and yet whenever I had dreamt of something, my mom always had like an interpretation based on her core beliefs. Yet when I first lived by myself, I experienced what I later learned as the scientific term of sleep paralysis. Yeah. At that time, I thought that it was a spirit that was trying to get me out of the home.
Bashar: And you mean out of your body?
Questioner: My mind would wake up but my body could not move.
Bashar: Yes. Well, that’s common when you’re actually transitioning and shifting to a different frequency, because your body needs to be, in a sense, in a certain state so that you can focus on exactly where you’re going without worrying about where your body is going to go or that it’s going to act out what it is you’re doing in the spirit world.
Questioner: Interesting. Interestingly enough, was never scared, just always confused and just frustrated about not being able to wake up. And as I’ve gotten older, I realized as soon as I began the prayer—a prayer of “Our Father”—I snapped out of it immediately.
Bashar: All right. That’s your permission slip.
Questioner: That was my permission slip. And so one of the things that I realized most recently in my lucid dreaming is the ability to change what is going on and to be acutely aware of the scene. So for example, I woke up on a doctor’s table and I saw that it was—I knew it was me—but it was not the physical me that I know it to be. And when I looked to the right, I saw like IV bags that had white liquid in it, and I thought that was a little bit strange because I was just like, “Wow, I thought my blood was red.” And then I was excited because I was like, “Oh, that means I’m going to lose weight,” because I felt so light. And then I woke up.
Bashar: Yes. Well, you are remembering a compound experience, being slightly shifted out of your physical reality and at the same time interacting with extradimensional and extraterrestrial beings. You are part of the hybridization agenda, but you were compounding that by understanding that you were being fed more light. That’s the white liquid. It actually is light, but you interpreted it as an IV.
Questioner: Yes, I interpret it as an IV with milky white liquid in it, and I felt so light, you know, as a result of just…
Bashar: Yes, of course. Why wouldn’t you feel light if you’re being fed with light?
Questioner: Noted. The next shifting into that is the sense of intuition. So again, my core belief has been that, you know, that the spirit guides are always here to help and assist you. Yes. And I clearly recalled when I met my life partner that immediately I felt like the world shift, like this was going to be… this is a remembering. And the remembering of an agreement you made to help each other in this life, in this way. Well, the interesting part about it is that I used to joke around like, “When I go to heaven, I want to know who thought this was a good idea,” because it seemed so misaligned. Like, there was no rationale for that coming up together. Yet I realized at every juncture of crisis, that’s when I delve deeper into the spiritual learning.
Bashar: Yes. Well, you thought it up.
Questioner: I thought it up?
Bashar: You thought it up. In other words, you presented yourself with opportunities, as you just said, to present yourself with challenges that would help you grow. So you thought it up. You made an agreement with other people to help you in that, just as you’re helping them in what they thought up they would like to experience as the theme that they’re exploring in physical reality. So that’s how it works. The spirit thinks it up and then projects itself into an experience of physical reality to explore physically the idea of the theme and the patterns that you decided would be the challenges that would help you grow.
Questioner: So I’m happy you mentioned the word “patterns,” because that’s one of the things that really resonate with me with the teachings that I’ve heard you in the past: that it’s not a pattern when you do it over and over again; it’s a conscious choice.
Bashar: Yet there’s… well, it’s a choice. It’s a choice whether it’s conscious or unconscious. It’s a choice. Yes. And you have to be aware of the fact that it’s a choice in order for you to get out of the idea and the definition that it’s a habit and a pattern that can’t be broken. So you have to understand that it’s important to take responsibility for the fact that on some level it’s a choice to respond in the way that you’re responding to what may seem to be a pattern, because again, a lot of time they’re there to give you a lesson so you can learn something, so you can change yourself in ways that you said you wish to.
Questioner: Well, the interesting thing about it is that I’ve heard you say that when the similar experiences presents itself and you change how you respond, that’s when you know that there is really growth. So while I’m patting myself on the back because I’m walking through a situation where I definitely changed my response, yet another, you know, for a lack of a better word, “shoe drop,” and I’m thinking to myself like, “Is the universe trying to be funny with me?”
Bashar: Now maybe it does have a sense of humor, but the idea is again: if there is still some residual reaction of a negative sort to the next thing that happens, then you haven’t actually learned the full lesson yet. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be reacting to it in the way that you are. You wouldn’t say, “Oh, another shoe has dropped.” You would simply recognize, “Oh, here’s another opportunity for me to learn something about myself.” Because if you’re still reacting the old way, you haven’t really changed that much. Okay?
Questioner: I received that. So to what extent does our spirit guide assist with the themes and the soul contracts that we have planned?
Bashar: They give you guidance, and that’s why they’re called spirit guides. They don’t do it for you, but they may help you, shall we say, encourage you to move in certain directions, to look at certain things that will give you the information and the experience that you need. So they will gently guide you. It may be a thought in your head that you think is your own that’s not. It may be synchronicity showing up, giving you information that could be a message from the guides. You could overhear a conversation because you went down this side of the street today instead of the side you always go down, because the guide encouraged you to take a different path today because they knew you would overhear what it is you needed to hear. Many times, guides work best when they use what’s already in front of your face in physical reality, because then they don’t have to try so hard to get you to pay attention to the message. You suddenly recognize that, “Oh, what a coincidence! That’s something I was looking for. That’s something I wanted to hear. That’s some information I needed to know.” You recognize it as such, and the urge to find yourself in the position of overhearing that or seeing something could have been the nudge from a guide, and that may have been all they needed to do to get you to receive the information you needed to receive. It’s rare that you will actually hear words in your head, although sometimes that can happen from a guide. Again, they try to be unobtrusive because they’re guiding you, not living your life for you or making decisions for you.
Questioner: That is wonderfully helpful. And um, it’s interesting because I recently named my guide, because I’ve had this conversation, you know, out loud for so long, I figured I might as well give a name. And I literally hear my guide saying like, “You know, I’ll make a decision,” and say like, “Nope, that’s not it.” And then I’ll just allow synchronicity to take its form.
Bashar: All right. What did you name the guide?
Questioner: Camara.
Bashar: And what does that mean to you?
Questioner: Camara means moon phases. I looked it up after I had the name, and I said it makes sense because there’s always a transition, a new phase. There’s always a new phase.
Bashar: There’s always a new phase. Yes. Remember, the journey is the destination. The process is the point. You’re not trying to reach a goal per se; you are attempting to reach a level of awareness and awakening, and therefore the process and the experience you’re having is the most important thing, not where you wind up. So much. It’s what you learn in the process. It’s the lesson I continue to learn.
Questioner: I thank you so much for this time and interaction. I much appreciate it.
Bashar: It is our passion and our pleasure. Good day. AO.
Topic 9: Hong Kong, Politics, and Future Changes
Questioner (Lisa): Good day. Bashar, my name is Lisa. I based in Hong Kong. Few years ago, I saw your video talking about Hong Kong China situation. You mentioned that by 2025 we will have a political change. At the time, I was really doubtful about this because we were at the high time. But in this few year down the road, we saw the change, and it’s properly where we heading. And I want to ask: is it a very bad change? And after that, will it be better? Are we safe to stay in Hong Kong in this period?
Bashar: I cannot answer those questions directly for you because it involves too much political information which we are not allowed to intervene in. We can say this: after 2026 and somewhere in 2027, after a major contact event, many things on the planet will change in a more positive direction. That’s all we can say for now.
Questioner: Good day. Thank you so much for this. It’s so exciting.
Bashar: It is our passion and our pleasure to interact with each and every one of you. What would you like to discuss?
Topic 10: Paradoxes of Consciousness and Success
Questioner: I want to talk about a paradox. Um, oh please, by all means. Many years ago, when I first started meditating, I felt suddenly that I was not breathing, but I was being breathed by the universe through the top of my head. Yes. Another time, I felt like I saw a million miles away a red disc that came dashing over toward me, and then over the top of my head, and by then it was the entire universe, and it fell right through me and landed between me and the Earth. All right. Well, what’s so paradoxical about this? Well, and then the final one is that my head opened up one time in meditation and fell completely to my heart, and between my heart and the ground I was on the earth, and from the heart up, I contain the entire universe.
Bashar: Yes. Well, you do. You all do. You’re grounded in physical reality experience, but you do contain the entire universe because you are the entire universe expressing itself as a piece of itself. That’s the paradox. You maintain the connection to all that is, yet at the same time, you honor the reflection and aspect of all that is that you are as an individuated piece of it.
Questioner: I guess my question about it is that if that is the case, which I know it is—I totally, I know it is—yes, how do I… how can I like, if I’m having a problem with something… pardon, I beg your pardon. A problem?
Bashar: You mean a challenge? An opportunity to grow?
Questioner: Yes. Uh, yes.
Bashar: Well, then, if you’re having a challenge and an opportunity to grow, where’s there a problem? Yeah, it depends on how you face it, depends on how you define it. Clarity about what…
Questioner: Well, for one thing, I… I have in my entire career never felt like I’ve been successful at it, even though I’m very, very good at what I do.
Bashar: Isn’t that success? Being very good at what you do?
Questioner: I guess it is. I just have to be satisfied with that and not…
Bashar: And why aren’t you?
Questioner: I feel like I should get paid for it.
Bashar: And why don’t you?
Questioner: I don’t know.
Bashar: Sure you do. What are you afraid will happen if you ask someone to pay you for what you do?
Questioner: Um, what are you afraid will happen? They’ll send me packing.
Bashar: Why?
Questioner: You know, maybe I’m afraid I’m not that good.
Bashar: I… I know. Ah. So this is an issue of your worth and deservability. Yeah. Well, you understand that just by the fact that you exist, you’re worthy in the eyes of all that is. Otherwise, you wouldn’t exist, because all that is doesn’t make mistakes. And if you exist, you’re worthy of your existence and being who you are and being true to yourself. Because to say you’re not worthy and not deserving is to argue with creation, and I guarantee you will never win that argument. It is also very arrogant to say that out of all the beings in creation, I alone am unworthy. I alone do not deserve. That’s actually arrogance. Yeah. What makes you so special that you would stand out as being unworthy when creation needs you to exist? Otherwise, you wouldn’t. So are you not worthy on the face of your existence?
Questioner: Yes.
Bashar: Then stop worrying about it. You can be fair. You’re always going to check yourself to make sure that you maintain a balance. But if there’s no real exchange for what it is you have to do, what it is you have to give, then there’s no balance, there’s no fairness, there’s no exchange. So what is wrong with having some degree of exchange that represents the idea of the worth of your gift that you have to give? I’m not saying you always have to charge for it, but it’s all right to do so if you maintain a balance and an equality in the exchange.
Questioner: Mm-hmm. Yes. Yes. So do you feel more comfortable doing that? Comfortable like asking for money?
Bashar: What is it that you do? What is your passion? What are you doing right now?
Questioner: I’m painting. Um, and I’m also writing, and I wrote a book, and it’s just never gone anywhere.
Bashar: That’s all right. The experience of writing the book is what counts. Do you understand? It’s the experience that allows you to grow. You’re insisting on a particular outcome that may or may not be representative of what you actually need in life. So this is why we’re talking about the difference between persistence, which is really just continuing to be willing to act on the path of your passion, and insistence, which is a forcing your will on what you think should be the outcome. That represents something when, in fact, it may not represent that at all. And being all right with the idea of how things are unfolding, how things are coming out, and staying in a positive state no matter what happens, so you can get a benefit from it, and realizing that it is the experience itself that is the worthwhile thing, not necessarily the way you think it should play out. Because you don’t really know what the ideal outcome actually should look like. You don’t. Your people make you think you do. Your culture makes you think, “Well, if you write a book, it should be a sparkling success.” Who says? Maybe the writing of the book, maybe the completion of writing the book, is the sparkling success, and that’s enough for you. Now, I’m not saying other things can’t happen, but you’re putting too much emphasis on the idea of the outcome as opposed to the experience that you’re having in the process.
Questioner: Because I did enjoy writing it a lot.
Bashar: All right. And if you completed the book, that’s a success. If you even started writing the book, that’s a success. You know how many people on your planet want to write a book and don’t even start? So even writing the book is a success in the measure of many people’s eyes. So start broadening your explanation and definition of success. Success is being yourself. Success is learning the lessons you wanted to learn and acting on your passion, giving you those lessons. Don’t focus on the idea that just because your passion comes in a certain form, that that particular form has to come to fruition. That’s not always the case. It’s the doing of the thing that is the necessary thing, the important thing, the thing that helps you grow. You don’t know what that skill is going to bring you in the future. It may come in handy later. You may write something else and it may go where you think it should go. But again, it’s not about that. It’s about the doing of the thing that is representative of your passion.
So many people on your planet are not willing to act on their passion. The fact that you’re willing to act on it is a smashing success in our eyes.
Questioner: Thank you. I’ve always tried to act on my passion even before I ever heard what you said about it.
Bashar: Um, then that’s a success, because so many people on your planet never do that. They have hopes and dreams and they never act. Remember, action is the language of physical reality. So you’re speaking the language many people don’t even build up the courage to speak—the language that they know would be the language of their truth. They never do the thing at all because of their fears that it won’t be a success, it won’t do this, it won’t do that. “If it doesn’t do that, I’m a failure,” blah blah blah blah blah. As you say, it’s the doing of the thing that is successful, and the learning while you’re doing that is the true success, whatever it is that happens with it. Whether people buy the book, whether you become a millionaire, whether you only sell one copy… you know, the reason why you wrote the book and the success you got out of doing so, the lessons you got out of doing so, what kind of a person it made you to do so, what it strengthened within you to do so, how it opened up your imagination to do so, how it improved your communication skills to do so. Yeah. Maybe it’s not even about the fact that the book sold, but the idea of your imagination opening up, your communication skills improving, that will come in handy later in life in a way that will allow you to look back and go, “Oh, I see. It’s not about the fact that the book sold or didn’t sell. It’s about that now that I’m in this situation, writing the book gave me the skills I need to really accomplish what I’m accomplishing now.” Everything’s interconnected. Everything’s an orchestration. Don’t put so much pressure on yourself about the way you think things are supposed to unfold or come to fruition, because you really have no clue what the ideal outcome is yet.
Questioner: Yeah. I just… I’m always hoping I’m doing what the universe… that I felt inside me… um, wants me to do.
Bashar: It’s not about the universe wanting you to do anything. If the universe wants anything, it’s for you to be yourself and decide what’s true for you and follow your passion. Because passion is the universe talking to you. It is your higher mind sending you messages saying, “This is the next step.” That’s why you feel it that way. That’s what passion is. It’s a message vibrationally delivered by the higher mind and all that is, saying, “This is who you are.” Your body interprets that message as the sensation you call passion and excitement and creativity and love and action. So by acting on your passion, you are listening to your higher mind. You’re listening to the universe. You’re willing to believe it’s guiding you. And when you act on your passion, you’re speaking the language of physical reality that tells your higher mind and the universe, “Yeah, I heard you, and I’m willing to listen to your guidance.” And then the universe and your higher mind can send you more opportunities to act on your passion.
You never know what form or why your passion comes in the form that it does. Never assume that that form itself must come to fruition. It may, but it doesn’t have to in order to have achieved what it needed to achieve in you, that you wanted the most, and that you will use in your life at some point to your benefit, and maybe to the benefit of others as well. You never know. Your life is not done yet, right?
Questioner: I hope not.
Bashar: Well, it doesn’t matter if it is, because if it is, you’ve picked the timing, and that means you’re done with your theme. So don’t worry about it. You’re not going to cease to exist; you’re just going to change your form, in the same way that you might change your clothes. That’s all. Your consciousness will still continue because you are an eternal, infinite being. You don’t ever really die; you just transition.
Questioner: Yeah. I… I remember that from when I was little.
Bashar: Then take the pressure off yourself and enjoy. Take the pressure off yourself and enjoy what you’re doing for its own sake, and then watch the magic happen around you. But again, don’t put any insistence or expectation on what that magic needs to look like. Just watch the magic. It’ll bring you what you need, even if at the moment what you need is something that you don’t prefer, because it’s going to see: how do you react to this? Do you react to it the same old way, or have you truly changed? And you’re going to respond to what we’re delivering to you in a different way, which is the true measure of change. The true measure of change is not whether the outside world changes; it’s whether you change in your response to things that stay the same. That’s how you know you’ve really changed. And then the outside will mirror that change within you. But at first, many people will test themselves: “Have I really changed? Oh look, this has happened again, and now I’m reacting the same old way, so you haven’t really changed.” So why should the universe… yeah, if you’re still frowning, the reflection in your mirror will still frown back. It can’t smile until you do. Does this help you?
Questioner: I think so. Of course it does. Yes.
Bashar: All right. Then put it to use. Take the pressure off yourself and just enjoy what you’re doing.
Questioner: Yes. Thank you so much, Bashar. You are so welcome. AO.
Topic 11: Education Reform
Questioner: A. My second question is: I am keen to bring in education-related solutions to the Earth to free up the kids and the children from the system where we having the system that talk [takes] out children from knowing themselves, trusting their intuition. I’m keen to do that. It’s really worth, worth worthwhile. We do it from kids. I think it’s very meaningful. Can you give me some idea and inspiration how should I get start? And am I supported in doing this? Thank you.
Bashar: Of course you are supported in many ways in doing this, and we have talked about this quite often. The basic steps to take are: creating with your own imagination and creativity safe environments in which children can learn the consequences of the choices they are making before they make those choices in what you call the outer world, the real world, so that they can learn the connection between choice and consequence. Teach them also that they are as powerful as they need to be to attract whatever they need in life without having to harm themselves or anyone else in order to do so. Notice I said what they need and not necessarily what they want, which can be the product of the ego.
The idea also is: if there is something you believe that they need to really learn that’s important for them to learn to thrive in physical reality, then attempt to use your imagination and creativity to adapt the lesson to what excites them already, rather than attempting to diminish their excitement into the lesson. And finally, teach them the formula that we’ve shared with all of you, so they understand that they are self-empowered beings and that they can grow into adults that can make positive, conscious choices that have positive, conscious consequences, and to be of service to all of those in the world by being themselves, their true selves. You can be inspired by starting these things, and you’ll be supported by your spirit guides and by the vibration of all the people in the world who seek to have positive change, so that individuals can grow up maintaining their intuition, maintaining their awareness of their connection to source and all that is, and express that in the way that allows them to become loving, creative, powerful adults.
Questioner: Good day, Bashar.
Bashar: And good day to you. Bashar, I’m very grateful for co-creating with you today.
Questioner: As are we in deep appreciation for this co-creation with you as well.
Topic 12: UFO Sighting and Octarian Connection
Questioner: Bashar, I have a few questions. Uh, my first question is: I had an experience in January 2013 when I was flying to China. It had been some time since I traveled at this point in my life. I was very into UFOs, the End of Time, extraterrestrials. And during that flight, I looked out the airplane window when most of the passengers were sleeping, and I really desired, I really wanted to see a UFO. And as soon as I made that wish in my head, a ball of light appeared not too far away from the airplane. This sphere of light moved in different directions for a few seconds and disappeared. All right. Bashar, I was wondering if you could elaborate on that.
Bashar: Well, what’s to elaborate? You asked for something and it was given to you. Yes. So did you do something with that energy? How did you apply that in your life? How did that change you?
Questioner: That gave me confidence and validation of, at that time in my life, of the things that I believed in and the things that I were into.
Bashar: All right. And that means now you know that it exists rather than just believing that it does. Yes. That’s a big difference.
Questioner: Yes.
Bashar: All right. But I remind you that in a sense, what you said is a little bit backwards. You had the confidence and the validation in your consciousness, which is why you simply asked for a reflection of the validation and confidence that was already there, and that’s why it was given to you.
Questioner: Love that. All right. Bashar, uh, I have another question which is actually more recent. Yes. I did a Salt Cave meditation on uh, it this past March, that focused on the heart chakra. Yes. Um, that night I had a dream. I was floating and had the ability to levitate. Uh, I saw who I perceived as my uh oldest Aunt standing in uh the driveway of my childhood home. Yes. Uh, shortly after, an image of a completely white background with a face of what I believe was a male with fair color skin, uh long blonde hair spread outwards, green-blue eyes, with um a pattern, and a very sudden message along with the image, which was Urus or Octarian. Yeah. And then my dream suddenly shifted to a more normal dream, um, and perhaps I had woken up at that time.
Bashar: All right. And so many people will tap into extraterrestrial and extradimensional connections that they have that guide them in this life, and for a moment you may have more lucidly tapped into that idea.
Questioner: I had every intention of attending uh your recent event, The Gate, um, which happened two days afterwards, and I experienced a tremendous amount of synchronicity after finding out that one of the uh channelings that you had done commented on the Octarians having a vibration which serves as the gate, which synchronistically um, I had that experience.
Bashar: And yes, it allows you to remember more of who you are in this physical reality, so you don’t forget as much. It’s like a stabilization frequency that allows you more opportunity to maintain a connection to those extraterrestrial and extradimensional sources as you live this life.
Questioner: Does it mean that I have a relationship with those beings?
Bashar: Yes. You’ve made a connection. You’ve made a relationship to guide you, as most people on your planet do, whether they’re aware of it or not.
Topic 13: Higher Self, Oversoul, and Parallel Realities
Questioner: Okay. Um, Bashar, the idea of a higher self, uh, it’s something that I’ve been interested in, and um, incarnating as a soul here on Earth. Um, am I having experiences elsewhere at this time?
Bashar: Well, yes, but it depends on what you mean when you say the word “I,” because you on the physical level are this personality. Your higher mind is simply the non-physical part of you that remains in spirit. You are a projection of a piece, shall we say, a part of your greater being, into this dream that you call physical reality. Mhm. Now, the greater you, yes, may be having many different experiences, incarnation or in spirit, so on and so forth, because there are many different levels to every single being. So if you are saying, “Am I having other experiences?” it depends on what level of “I” you’re coming from when you say that. If you’re coming from the physical level, then no, this physical being is having this experience. But if you’re coming from the idea of the greater soul, the oversoul, then yes, you as an oversoul are having a multitude of experiences simultaneously.
Questioner: Would I tap into some of those oversoul experiences, perhaps in a dream state?
Bashar: Oh, absolutely. And even in a waking state, you do it all the time, but you may not recognize that you’re doing it. You’re connecting to parallel reality versions of yourself, other incarnations of the oversoul that you belong to as well, and you’re downloading information and experience as you need it, plugging in and out without necessarily knowing that you’re doing that. It’s an automatic function. You don’t always have to know that that’s happening, because many times you may have an inspiration or a thought; it may be because you’re tapping into that parallel reality or a different incarnation or another dimension of reality that another aspect of your greater being is experiencing. You don’t always have to know where it’s coming from, because the only things you will need to know are: how does it serve you in this particular experience? How can you use that inspiration here and now? Just as other aspects may be doing the same thing with you. Whatever experiences you are having in this physical reality may be serving other aspects of you and other beings entirely by them connecting to you and downloading your information and experience that you’re learning in this life. So it’s a constantly, dynamically changing internet of exchanges and vibrations and resonances that are constantly going on, constantly communicating between a multitude of different ideas and incarnations and experiences of your greater self.
Questioner: Thank you, Bashar.
Bashar: Oh, you’re welcome.
Questioner: That’s just the way it is. I had nothing to do with it. Um, with that greater oversoul? Or does that mean I’m sort of this smaller soul that has been kind of apart?
Bashar: Yes. You are an individuated soul. Now, the separation is an illusion, but you were creating the experience of the separation for your own purposes. So yes, you could say you are an extension, a single soul extension of the oversoul, which can be looked at as a gathering, a multitude of souls in one being. And other extensions may be having other incarnations and so on and so forth. Some of them may be contemporary with you, and many of them may not. Some of them you may know in life, and some of them you may not. So some of them may overlap with your time frame, and many of them may not. It just depends on the purpose for that particular aspect of the oversoul having that particular incarnational experience. But that’s another story for right now. Yes. For practical purposes, in your language, you are an individuated soul that then splits into what you call the non-physical higher mind and the physical mind in order to guide yourself through this physical dream. And what you learn feeds back to the soul as the spirit that is particular to your personality, and thus the soul grows from learning all the things that you are learning by having this physical experience.
Questioner: And when I’m no longer in physical reality, will all of my experiences feed into this oversoul?
Bashar: Yes.
Questioner: Uh, I’m curious as to how my feeding into it right now… they’re feeding into it right now?
Bashar: Well, let’s look at it this way. Use this analogy: you have some memories of being a child. Yes. Yes. They still feed into you as an adult, even though you don’t necessarily experience them in the same way anymore. You can always call upon those experiences because they’re always a part of you. So it’s kind of like that. Mhm. You could say the oversoul is the adult version of what you are right now.
Topic 14: Interstellar Family and DNA Portals
Questioner: Uh, Bashar, I have uh a question about… um, this is your final question, okay? I had a very vivid dream after purchasing the contact crystal, uh, and um, I actually had asked this question a few years ago, and there was what I vividly saw as rainbow DNA across the sky, and you had commented on that being a portal, uh, and I was able to change my vibration to be able to uh see, perceive that. Yeah. And next to that was a very shiny metallic spaceship, and you said that that DNA represents my relationship to those on that ship. Yes. How can I interact with my interstellar family or with folks that are my relationship to folks that are, you know, um, well on that ship or elsewhere?
Bashar: Use your imagination. Mhm. Follow the formula. See what happens synchronistically to bring those kinds of connections into better awareness within you. Mhm. It’s all you have to do. And just live your life. Okay? Remember, we wouldn’t be having this conversation if it wasn’t more likely than not leading towards something like that. So you can use this as a marker.
Questioner: Thank you. Thank you, Bashar.
Bashar: A.
Topic 15: Tai Chi and Energy
Questioner: All right. Another question here. Um, so as a practitioner of the Tai Chi martial art, I would like to know from your perspective, Bashar, what is happening when we on earth… when an individual practices Tai Chi, what is happening on an energetic level? What is happening on a biological level? Uh, from your perspective, right? Obviously, you can see different things per se that we can’t perceive yet. So from your perspective, what is happening to an individual system when they’re practicing Tai Chi?
Bashar: Peace. You are raising your frequency and allowing your neurological network—in other words, your nervous system—to be far more coordinated and capable of handling higher frequency energies in a superconductive way.
Topic 16: Negative Beliefs, Deserving, and Permission Slips
Questioner: Hi Bashar, good day.
Bashar: Good day. What would you like to discuss this day?
Questioner: Um, so I know the formula is the most important thing to be, I think, focusing on. Um, and I believe I have some negative beliefs that are preventing me from doing that as best as I can.
Bashar: Well, at least you have the positive belief that you have some negative beliefs that are getting in your way. Okay.
Questioner: Um, I’ve done some digging, and I really… I’m finding that I can’t really figure out what it is. Like, you know, I know that there’s like not deserving, not capable, but I just… I feel like I’m missing something, if that makes sense.
Bashar: So are you saying that you have discovered you do have a belief that you’re not deserving? Is that what you’re saying?
Questioner: Yeah, but it… I… what makes you… what makes you so different from everyone else that you’re the only one that doesn’t deserve? And I’ve heard you question that before, and it… I know I’m deserving to be on earth, I think, but it’s… I guess it’s when it’s dealing with things that I am desiring, I guess.
Bashar: Are you desiring, or are you insisting that those things have to come into your life in order for you to feel like you deserve?
Questioner: I think I’m definitely insisting.
Bashar: Um, well, you know what happens when you do that.
Questioner: Yes. I just… I feel like I’m not living the life that I want to be living.
Bashar: And what is it you wish to be living? What do you wish to be doing that you’re not doing? What’s your passion that you are not allowing yourself to act on?
Questioner: So I’m a healer, and I’m healing in ways, but not necessarily in ways that I might wish to. I’m working towards it, but…
Bashar: Can you tell us the difference between what you’re doing and what it is you would wish to do?
Questioner: So I’m in… I’m a nurse, and so that’s, you know, more traditional way of healing. Um, and the way that you would wish to heal is… what? A lot of different things. Um, I like writing. I like…
Bashar: And why can’t you do those things?
Questioner: So I am. Well, then what’s the problem?
Bashar: I guess I’m coming up against fear. Against fear of what? Putting myself out there, I guess.
Bashar: Because what are you afraid will happen if you do that?
Questioner: I will be rejected, or um, not taken seriously.
Bashar: Oh, all right. Do you understand the one-sided coin analogy we have used? Remind me.
Questioner: All right. You understand that there’s no such thing as a one-sided coin. If you have a head, there has to be a tail for there to be a coin at all.
Bashar: Yes. Yes. Okay. So the idea is: if you have a gift that you’re excited to give, that is your indication that there must be someone waiting to receive it, or it would be pointless for you to be excited about giving it. There are no one-sided coins in reality. You have a gift; someone is waiting to receive it. Okay? Okay. So it doesn’t matter how many people reject it. It doesn’t matter how many people think you’re crazy. They are not the ones waiting to receive it anyway. But there are those that are waiting to receive it, and the longer you wait to share it, the longer you are depriving them of what it is they may need in their life. That’s not very nice.
Questioner: No. Um, I have put myself there in some ways, and I kind of got cricket [crickets]. So is that a sign like, it felt like there was absolutely no interest? Is that a sign that maybe I should be doing it in a different way?
Bashar: Maybe not necessarily. It could be a sign that you’re not really willing to put yourself out there fully, okay? Because you’re getting the exact response that you want to get, because you’re afraid that that’s the response you’re going to get. Okay? So you’re being shown, unequivocally, in no uncertain terms, by getting what appears to be no feedback—you’re getting the feedback that is actually reflective of your fear.
Questioner: Okay. Is there a way I can work around that?
Bashar: Well, you can look for examples in your reality of people that are doing the kinds of things you say you would love to do, and see that they’re doing just fine. And if they can do it, why can’t you? That’s one way. What’s so different about them, except that they don’t question the ability they have? They’re willing to really put it out there. They’re willing to relax into it. They’re willing to take a deep breath and let out a big sigh and say, “It doesn’t really matter who doesn’t accept this. What matters is the service I can provide to those who are willing and seeking what it is I have to give.” Because that’s your only audience anyway. Who cares what the others think?
Questioner: Okay. So just focusing more on that than other stuff?
Bashar: Yeah. Why not? Of course. Because what you focus on is what you get.
Questioner: Yes. Okay. That’s something I need to redirect a lot. I focus on the negative thought.
Bashar: All right. So again, do it in whatever way works for you. You can just take a moment. You can put it out there in a way that allows you to sort of do it quietly. But again, when you get used to it, you’ll realize there was no point in hesitating anyway, because it’s truly who you are. And when you’re trying to be someone you’re not, it’s exhausting, isn’t it?
Questioner: Yeah.
Bashar: All right. Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired?
Questioner: Yes.
Bashar: Well, the remedy for that, the cure for that, is to be yourself. Because being sick and tired only comes when you’re trying to be someone you’re not. Okay? Thank you. You’re very welcome. Let the tears flow, because when you change your belief, a lot of the belief systems that you have held on to always have to develop a physical component, a chemical component in your body, to match what it is you’ve been holding on to. So when you’re willing to let go of a belief, the chemical constituents have to wash themselves out of your body too, and that happens more often than not through your tears. So let it flow. Feel the relief. Tears of relief. Tears of release.
Questioner: I’ve been doing that a lot this months. So thank you.
Bashar: All right. Be yourself. That’s the only thing you actually can be anyway. So you might as well just be yourself as soon as possible, because anything else is too much of a struggle. You can’t be something you’re not, no matter how hard you try. All right? Yeah. All right. AO.
Topic 17: Future Economy and Time Banking
Questioner: A. Hi Bashar. Thank you for taking my question. So you have stated before that our economic system in the future will be based on the skills of our people, of our citizens, and that’s very, very exciting to me. Um, and I was curious if… so we have a concept called time banking, that and not a lot… not a lot of people really partake in it. It’s more popular, I think, in the UK than it is in the US. But I was wondering if that type of system is a stepping stone, if you will, in getting us towards what you say is going to be more of a flowchart system, where an organizing body is going to be facilitating who needs what services and skills and connecting people synchronistically. Um, because I’m just very interested in the time banking and skill swap type thing. So I’m wondering if you could just comment any more on that. Thank you. Hau.
Bashar: AO. It can be. It can be a stepping stone. Again, we operate on pure synchronism, really absolutely trusting that synchronicity brings us exactly where we need to be when we need to be there, with the skills that the people around us will need at that particular point. But the idea of what you’re talking about can certainly be a practicing stepping stone.
Topic 18: Clothing, Celebrity, and Space Travel
Questioner: Hello Bashar, good day.
Bashar: Good day.
Questioner: You’re sounding healthy and fit. Of course you are. Thank you. Um, my first question of three is: whether you and your people utilize something analogous to our clothing? You cover yourselves with something appropriate to your vibratory level? What is clothing so important to us as humans?
Bashar: Well, you have many issues surrounding the idea of clothing, many negative and many positive. It just depends on how you use it. Some people fear not being covered up because they feel too exposed. Some people use it to advertise and demonstrate who they actually are. It’s kind of a badge of your spiritual side, even though you’re physical. Sometimes there are as many reasons for clothing and using it in different ways as there are people in general. Our idea of clothing is very simplistic. It would appear to be something in your language as a skintight fabric that is kind of a nanotechnological thing that adapts to different environments. It can change its form, its color, to serve different purposes. The things we wear can, to some degree, mitigate the temperature, and it can actually even turn into a spacesuit if we wish it to. So it serves many functions, made out of a similar material that can alter itself in a variety of ways.
Questioner: Okay. Well, my second question is in regard to our seeming mania with the celebrities, entertainment, games, and spectator sports in our modern culture. Is there a spiritual reason for this, that we’ve gone down this path?
Bashar: Well, again, there are always positive and negative reasons for any experience and expression in your reality. But in general, to generalize it, it’s one way of understanding that physical reality is a game. It’s your projection. So how well you play the game, you can gain practice in playing the game of life by playing other games. And the celebrity aspect is simply your recognition that you are all stars. Within you, all have that inner light. You all have that spark. And if you use the idea of celebrity as a reflection that you can be who you truly are, and you can attain within yourself—no matter whether you have an audience or not—the status of celebrating who you are (for that’s what celebrity is: a celebration of who you are), then it’s a reflection that can be used that way. Does that answer your question?
Questioner: Yes. B. And the third… the third is our uh current undertaking of our country in this Artemis program to return to the Moon. Yes. Is there a spiritual dimension to this, or it is totally uh… uh… again, a man’s dominion of the uh clockwork universe? Do you not see a spiritual dimension of your expansion of consciousness being reflected by your expansion to the stars?
Bashar: I don’t know. I… again, remember everything that happens in physical reality is a reflection of things going on in your consciousness. So as you explore the idea of the expansion of your consciousness, you will expand your presence out into the universe, because it’s a reflection of the fact that you contain the universe within yourselves. Even listening to some of the astronauts who have been in space, and them looking back at the Earth, changes them in a way that they see the Earth as a whole planet. They don’t see the borders. They don’t see the differences. They see that you all belong in the same place, that you’re all one. So that can have many spiritual dimensions to it, by changing your perspective from being on the earth to being beyond the earth and looking back at it as a place of unification, as a nurturing place that really gives you all the ability to connect in very profound ways and erase the differences that are not important between you. Some differences are important, and it is the validation of those differences that will unify you. But the idea of the kinds of negative separations that you’ve created can be erased when you view the Earth as a whole from space. Many astronauts have had that experience. So yes, there’s a spiritual component.
Questioner: So will this endeavor better prepare us for eventual um meeting of the uh star space brothers?
Bashar: Absolutely. Because your meeting is somewhere closer to our own natural environment. Does that answer your question?
Questioner: Yes, sir. Thank you very much.
Bashar: Sure. You are welcome. A.
Topic 19: Fifth Dimension and James Webb Telescope
Questioner: Hey Bashar. I want to ask you about the Fifth Dimension. Is the Fifth Dimension to you like time is for us? Uh, it’s like we’re definitely aware of it, but we physically can’t move in it. Thank you very much.
Bashar: Well, part of you is moving in it, because your higher mind is in the Fifth Dimension, because Fifth Dimension is the spirit realm, and that’s your natural state. So yes, in a sense, we can move through and in the Fifth Dimension. This is the reason we express ourselves as quasi-physical, because we have traits of both physical beings and spirit beings, and therefore the fifth density, fifth dimensionality, is very solid and real to us in a way, even though we recognize it as a non-physical vibration.
Questioner: Hello too.
Bashar: Hello too. Nania, we have lots of great questions today from our viewers. All right. Um, the first one has to do with the James Webb telescope. Despite um locating six galaxies that NASA says shouldn’t exist, and they’re surprised by the discovery and feel they will soon have an explanation for what these mysterious findings are. Can you tell us anything about the creation of these newly discovered galaxies?
Bashar: The difference in this observation is that they have discovered that galaxies formed much earlier than they thought possible. This will lead to certain conclusions about the flow of time in your reality. So the idea is: conditions the flow of time. Certain physical concepts will open up a new direction, a new path, in understanding of how things can form in physical reality beyond the parameters you believe always existed. That there is more fluctuation in existence in physical reality, in the creation of different attributes, different elements, that the flow of time is not always even, and it might even be representative, if they look deeply enough, into the idea of the penetration of one reality of a parallel reality. So it will open up all these questions and all of these opportunities for new discoveries.
Questioner: Great. Um, also with commercial space travel being now presented by several people, um, and it’s creating like a whole new frontier in terms of travel and everything. Can these people who are offering this start making claims to owning the planets? And how would the ETs respond to that idea?
Bashar: Well, first of all, your own laws, to some degree, prevent people from making claims of other planets. There are already some discussions and agreements in place on your planet, legally speaking, that talk about how the moon and Mars and other planets in your system belong to all of humanity. So even though someone may try to make a claim, it might not be something that would, in your terms, be successful. Nevertheless, people will try to do whatever it is they will try to do. But we are not allowed to comment too deeply on the legalities that you believe are necessary for your society to function. Nevertheless, it is not likely to succeed. And in your own solar system, this is your business. Extraterrestrials will not necessarily have any opinions of this, but leave it up to you to decide what works best for you, since it is your system. If you’re talking about the idea of making claims on extrasolar planets, then no. First of all, of course, you may find that many of them are already occupied. But again, these things will unfold as you develop more ability to reach out into space and, with our assistance, reach the stars.
Topic 20: Reflection, Existence, Free Will, and Hypnosis
Questioner: You speak about how everything around us is a reflection of our own consciousness, and this individual is saying they struggled to understand whether or not people exist outside of their own consciousness. Do they actually exist, and are they having their own similar experience as what I’m seeing in the reflection, or does this work some other way?
Bashar: This is again a case of people on your planet being trained to think exclusively instead of inclusively. Thinking “this or that” instead of “this and that.” Of course they exist. That doesn’t mean you don’t create your own version of them in your consciousness. But creating your own version of them doesn’t negate the idea that they create their own version of you. It all exists. But because of the nature of physical reality and how you choose to perceive things, you have to create your version of them. So what they are experiencing may not be absolutely completely identical to what you are experiencing. But if by agreement on a higher level you agree to experience something similar, then it will be close enough for you to feel you have had a shared experience, a shared description. Any minor discrepancies are usually ignored by you because the overall description, the overall sharing, seems to be consistent between you. And if it is close enough, then you consider it to be consistent. But everyone is creating their own reality, their own versions of you, that you are creating your own versions of them. But that doesn’t negate the fact that everyone also exists.
Again, it’s sort of similar to the idea that if you’re talking with someone on a phone or over a computer, as we seem to be doing with you now, you understand that it is a simulation. It is a representation of that person, a representation of their voice, because it has been converted into electronic signals and reconverted back into acoustics and visual cues. So the idea is that you don’t necessarily think you’re not talking to a real person. You accept the idea that what you’re interacting with directly is a simulation that represents them, but you don’t negate that they exist. So it’s similar to the idea of physical reality. You’re creating your simulation, your representation of them, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist, because they’re doing the same thing with you. You are exchanging on a higher level, making agreements as to what you shall call common reality, what you shall call a shared experience. And therefore you do have slight differences in your experiences, or sometimes even great differences in your experience. But again, none of that means that these beings don’t exist.
Questioner: And how does the idea of reflection… it being that person being a reflection of oneself?
Bashar: Well, it’s a matter of degree. Not everything is a one-to-one reflection. The issues one person has don’t necessarily mean you have all those issues too. But it is a reflection in the sense that there’s a reason why you’re experiencing that person in your life, your version of them. What is your version of them contain anything that you need that’s relevant for you, based on what it is they are seeking to understand about themselves? So just because a person is in your life and they may have certain issues or certain things they are examining or exploring or investigating within themselves, doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s a one-to-one identical reflection. It may be simply that they’re in your life because you get to help them with something, or perhaps the reflection you’ve created of them that you’re seeing helps you get in touch with something you’re working on simultaneously. It’s a dance. It’s an orchestration. What you need will be in your reflection; what they need will be in their reflection. But you have made an agreement that there is something you can each give to each other, share with each other, that can help you both, especially if you are aware that that’s what’s happening. This is why we say all relationships are for the purpose of everyone in the relationship helping all the others in the relationship become more and more of who they are. It gives you an opportunity to decide whether or not what they are saying, or what they are doing, or what they are investigating within themselves or with you, is relevant for you, or whether you are helping them with something that’s more relevant for them. It’s a matter of degree, and it’s a matter of perception, and it’s a matter of willingness to take whatever works for you out of the relationship, while they also have the duty to accept whatever is relevant for them out of the relationship. So again, it’s a dance. It’s an orchestration.
Questioner: And this person wants to know if existence can kill itself. Can it delete itself from existence?
Bashar: No. Because that’s its quality. As we have said, non-existence—the definition of non-existence—is that which does not exist. There is no room in non-existence for that which does exist. Non-existence, to be poetic, is already full of all the things that will never exist. There is no room in there for something that does exist. Existence is a fundamental quality. It cannot change on that level. It doesn’t become non-existent. It cannot annihilate itself to that degree. It can change form. It can have experiences that you might recognize as annihilation, but you’re still going to have the experience of being annihilated, which means you still exist. So it’s a kind of simulation of annihilation, but not a true annihilation, because existence cannot cancel itself. Because non-existence is already full of all the things that will never exist.
Questioner: And how can we have free will if all of our choices are presented by the soul?
Bashar: The choices are presented, but what you do with those choices is the product of your free will. How you relate to them, how you engage with them, whether you ignore them, whether you accept them, if you accept them, how you accept them, what you decide to do about what that means to you—your free will is in the interaction with those choices. Even though you may have set up certain choices that you would call your so-called destiny, remember that it’s still a free will choice from the level of spirit, and you made it from that level as a free will choice to have these choices presented to the physical being, the physical mind. But the physical being and the physical mind still have the choice of how to interact with the choices that you made as a spirit. So free will exists on both levels. It might be slightly more limited on the physical level because you do have to abide by the choices you made as a spirit for this life. In other words, whoever you are, you have to experience things as that version of you, as that personality. So the idea is: whatever it is you’re experiencing was set up by the spirit, but how you engage with that choice is up to the free will of the personality of the physical being.
Questioner: Okay. Um, in a hypnotic trance, can we access the template level reality and change things from there?
Bashar: Yes.
Questioner: Is that an easier way to do it? Do you think it’s a way to do it?
Bashar: If it works for some people, it works for them. If it doesn’t work for others, it doesn’t work for them. So it’s up to you to gravitate to whatever is relevant and seems to work for you. It can be one way, but it’s not the only way. It depends on whether it works for you or not.
Questioner: This person wants to know how you can master it by being hypnotized, and then once you’re at that level, making those changes.
Bashar: Yes, if they are relevant for you to make them. Remember, mastery also includes the recognition that some things should not change. It’s a recognition of the whole choice that was made as a spirit. Some things are changeable; you have the freedom to change some things. Some things may not be changeable because you have already agreed to live that particular experience through to its end, to its logical conclusion. So mastery means the acceptance of the things that can be changed and the acceptance of the things that can’t be changed. That’s why that exists in your 12-step program. It’s that recognition that you may have made agreements on a higher level that you really do not want to change from a physical level, although you’ve also left some things changeable from the physical level as well. It just depends on what you have accomplished in your life, what it is you need to now understand, what kind of journey you need to take from this point forward, as to what’s relevant to change and what’s relevant to leave alone. But being hypnotized will put you in that state. True mastery will allow you to accept what can be changed and what cannot be changed for this lifetime.
Topic 21: Highest Frequency, Blessings, and Artistic Inspiration
Questioner: And what is the highest frequency that a soul can reach in the spirit realm?
Bashar: That’s a very open-ended question, because the idea of the spirit realm, in some sense, even though it has levels to it, is limitless. And in a sense, frequency is not relevant for what you understand frequency to be in your physical terms. So infinite.
Questioner: So is it the idea that you could experience yourself as all that is?
Bashar: Yes. And you could experience yourself as a collection of all that is. Which would be a greater all that is? And a collection of the greater all that is is which would be a greater collection of all that is? It’s infinite. And is there a frequency in that sense that represents that idea? Infinite. Ah. Which again seems to make no sense to physical beings, and that’s why we say this is not a concept that translates well into the idea of frequency as you understand it physically. I could say a million times a million times a million times a billion times a billion times a billion… it would make no sense to you. There’s no way to have a demarcation of the frequency you’re talking about in spirit, because again, spirit is limitless.
Questioner: And what is the energy of blessing in your perception, and what is its effect in particular?
Bashar: The idea of blessing is to project a vibrational frequency that represents the highest level of a particular personality that is achievable by them in this lifetime, to encourage them to seek that level, to match that frequency. It’s the giving of an opportunity and a reflection that allows people more opportunity to be themselves, to encourage them to do so, to love them unconditionally in their journey, in their progress. That is a blessing. It’s the opening up to the possibility of what you can achieve as the individual you chose to be in this life, through the acceptance of unconditional love of existence.
Questioner: Okay. And um, this person is saying that their grandfather was an artist, and he created thousands of abstract colorful paintings inspired by lucid dreams and visions. Can you expand on where these dreams and visions come from?
Bashar: Well, from experiences in spirit, out-of-body, in parallel realities. Many different places can inspire artistic expression in your particular reality. So if he was experiencing lucid dreams and visions, he may have been tapping into experiences he was having when he was out of body, when he was asleep, and bringing back the memory in the form of a piece of art, an expressionist kind of view of the experience he had on another realm, in another reality, tapping into parallel lives, tapping into extraterrestrial lives, tapping into the oneness of all that is, tapping into many different kinds of things. This is common for artistic expression and people who are inclined to express it that way.
When you see that where you have child prodigies, three years old creating classical music, yes, and they come from an artistic family or a musical family, yes, the genetics play a role in their ability. They can, yes, in making it a little easier for them to access. It’s like having, shall we say, a more refined receiver in a radio kind of sense, that picks up on more rarified frequencies, more capable to pick up on those rarified frequencies. So yes, that can come with the body. It can make it easier for the child to access those particular frequencies that would give them those inspirations, that would give them that knowledge, and allow them to download it and express it physically in that way.
Questioner: So um, in the sense of that, the channel Daryl comes from a vocal family that has talent, yes, in the vocal area. Was that part of the genetic manifestation that was appropriate, or how did that work?
Bashar: Yes. The answer is yes. Artistic expression, vocal expression, different forms of communication were important in the genetic structure. The ability to tap into knowledge about communication, knowledge about the idea of languages, knowledge about the idea of vibrational frequencies, whether that be expressed vocally or artistically, doesn’t matter really.
Topic 22: Wild Roses and Ancient Knowledge
Questioner: Really interesting. Um, this person has a really deep connection with wild roses, and they’re drawn to rose gardens, everything rose. They have flowers all over their room, um, and their spiritual teacher has the name of Rosa. Yes. So they were wondering about creating a rose garden, and if you could guide them where the passion for roses actually comes from.
Bashar: Well, it’s a connection, especially with wild roses, to longevity and ancient times and ancient knowledge, because the wild rose, in a sense, is what you would call the original rose, and has been around for thousands upon thousands upon thousands, perhaps even hundreds of thousands of years in its present form. Everything else that you call a rose is usually hybridized off of that. So it’s like going back to the original form, connecting to the idea of the ancient knowledge, the ancient ways of connection to the universe and nature. That’s its general expression. Creating a garden would be an expression of manifesting different forms of it to share with different people who are attracted to different expressions of the hybridized original rose. So it’s like planting seeds of love in different ways that people can relate to—different colors, different styles—but all goes back to the idea of the original wild rose, which forms the foundation of the expression, symbolically in your culture, of the expression of unconditional love. Beautiful.
Topic 23: Bad Trip on Magic Mushrooms
Questioner: This person had a bad trip on magic mushrooms, um, where they became aware of the billions of frames per second, and each second felt like a thousand years. Not sure yet why that’s a bad trip, because it sounds like true insight into the nature and structure of how physical reality is created by your consciousness. So we’re not sure why they are referring to it in the negative. He said he was terrified of the experience and eventually asked for a gun so that he could wake himself up. Um, he wasn’t given a gun and eventually passed out and then instantly was awake again, sober.
Bashar: Yes. Well, it was simply too much. Simply too much overload for the physical mind to process at that particular moment. And he wished to go back into spirit where he knew he could process it, he could understand it. He prevented that from happening and simply rebooted himself, reset himself, so he wouldn’t have to have the overload experience. But he did experience the idea of the frame rate of physical reality that you create with your consciousness. It was just too much for that person at that moment, and so he blanked out, rebooted, reset himself.
Questioner: Is that similar to the idea that if we were to encounter beings of a significantly higher frequency than we operate at, that we could go into psychic shock, so to speak?
Bashar: Yes. But again, you have the protective mechanism of simply passing out, going unconscious, so you don’t have to expose yourself to that vibration. So that might actually be the first reaction, is that you would faint. Ah. Ah. Okay.
Topic 24: Morning Dread and Following Excitement
Questioner: Um, we had a lot of questions about following your excitement. Yes. Um, this one individual is saying that when they wake up in the morning, they don’t feel excited or passionate about life. Instead, they kind of dread going to work. And all right. How do you… and they want to know how they can, you know, they start having more excitement as the day progresses, yes, but they’d like to know a permission slip or some way that they could feel more excited and follow their passion immediately upon waking up, instead of having to go into this autopilot thing.
Bashar: All right. Simple enough. First of all, remember that they’ve just had an adventure in spirit, and now they are focused back as their physical selves. So they’re making a comparison that where they were in spirit is better than where they have come back to in the physical focus. They need to let that go. They need to remember they made a choice to be physical, to have physical experiences, and they were excited about making that choice because of what they would learn, how they would accelerate, how they would grow much faster in the physical experience than they would have in the spiritual one. So the idea is to remember that they made the choice to be here, and that was exciting, and they need to stop comparing the idea—which is something they have simply learned to do by being physical, that they were trained to do by thinking that physical reality is less spiritual, less exciting than what they just experienced, whether they remembered or not, in the spirit realm as an adventure. So they have to stop making such a difference between physical and non-physical reality, and they have to remember that they chose to be physical, and that at the time they made that choice, it was very exciting. And if they stop making such a difference between physical and spiritual reality, they’ll remember that excitement and be excited the moment that they wake up to continue the adventure in a different way. It’s not a cessation of the adventure they were having in spirit; it’s a continuation of the adventure. That’s the permission slip. Nothing has been interrupted. Nothing has stopped. Nothing is less than. Nothing is better. Then it’s a continuation of the adventure in different terms, in a different context, and they can be excited about that.
Questioner: And this person would like to know how they can follow their excitement to the best of their ability, refining the idea of what is the best of their ability.
Bashar: Again, the idea of the “best of your ability” is what synchronicity and society tells you is possible or probable for you in any given situation. If something seems again to prevent you from going down a certain path, then you are not able to do that at that moment for one reason or another, by not breaking either the rules of society or by paying attention to the fact that you may be experiencing red-light synchronicity saying, “This is not the path for you right now. Take another path that you are able to act on that’s exciting for you.” If they pay attention to those symbols and signs and recognize what they are able and not able to do within the parameters of society or synchronicity, then they will be less confused. They will simply look for the thing they are able to act on to the best they are able within the context of your culture and society and planet, and they will move wholeheartedly in that direction, knowing that it’s connected to everything else, and that eventually they may be turned back around into the idea of the other thing they weren’t able to do before, but now perhaps have the aptitude to do because of what they learned by going down a different path temporarily. So it’s about opening up to the fact that all paths are going to lead you to where you need to be if you’re willing to take the ones that present themselves to you, and willing to pay attention to the ones that say, “No, not now.”
Topic 25: Business Failures and Finding Passion
Questioner: And for the person that um has trouble finding their passion in businesses, they’re saying that they’ve had businesses and they’ve failed, and that some people know their passion but they’re afraid to act on it. And what is it that makes it so this person can’t seem to find their passion in their work situation?
Bashar: All right. Well, first of all, they have not failed. They have simply discovered a path that is not necessarily representative of the way that they truly wish to express their excitement. So they have learned things along the way, and that’s all knowledge that may help them in the future, as you say. But the idea again is to always start simply, and not necessarily have this grand idea that some overarching project or lifelong career has to be representative of your passion. Any moment of time, any option available to you that’s more exciting—even just the tiniest bit more exciting, more attractive, more curiosity-invoking—than any other option, even just the tiniest bit, is following your passion if you’re willing to act on it. Asking this question of us at that moment was the most exciting thing they could think of to do. That wasn’t difficult. So in the next moment after we have answered this and addressed this particular issue, what will you now choose to do? It doesn’t have to be a grand thing. Just look at all the options available to you and choose the one that’s more attractive to you, and act on it to the best you can until you can act on it no further. That’s all you have to do.
You need to reduce the idea that it must be some grand vision. It will eventually snowball into something bigger, perhaps. But even if it doesn’t, you’re still following your passion by always acting on the thing that’s more attractive and more exciting than any other option, even on what you might call a typical level. You’re still living the life of excitement. You expect it to be grander or feel bigger is just because you have an expectation of the way you think it should feel. Allow yourself to feel that you are acting on your excitement as long as you’re constantly choosing the thing, the option, the opportunity that is more attractive, more available to you, more curiosity-provoking than anything else. And as you just keep doing that, you will live a life of excitement and passion, because you will attract everything you need. Simple as that.
Sometimes—and I don’t mean this in a negative way—sometimes it’s important to reduce the scale of things so that you are within the comfort zone of what you believe you can handle. You may have gone into those businesses without an absolute certainty that you could handle them, or again, you simply went into them to learn the things you learned by doing them, and that was the purpose of those businesses. Again, remember: it’s not the goal. The journey is the destination. The process is the point. What you learn along the way, you absorb. You can use in other situations. So don’t make it about achieving a goal. Make it about living in the moment and learning what that moment has to give to you. That’s the important treasure that’s buried in those experiences: what you get out of it. Don’t dismiss them as failures. If you do that, you will not understand what the lesson was, what the learning was, that’s vital for you to live a rich life.
Topic 26: Expectations, The Eye of the Needle, and Permission Slips
Questioner: And a follow-up question here is about the path of their desire, and how their brain will just start planning and envisioning and getting expectations about this and that. And the idea of why does our consciousness do that, and how do we manage that in relation to having zero expectation?
Bashar: Because you don’t quite yet understand, and the physical mind thinks it’s in control, which it’s not, and doesn’t quite yet understand that having a particular insistence on a particular outcome is actually a limitation. Because if you insist on a particular thing and something better could have happened, you have just prevented it from happening. So learn the idea that insisting on a particular outcome may actually not be to your benefit, because it actually prevents other, maybe even better, outcomes from happening.
Questioner: Right. And for some individuals, there’s this fear about the idea of going through the eye of the needle, and being fearful that they’re not doing it right, or they’re not going to come out the other side into a parallel reality.
Bashar: All right. Let’s stop right there. The very idea of the “eye of the needle” is for them to face all of these negative, fear-based belief systems. So if that’s what’s coming up—“Oh, I’m afraid I’m not going to do it right. I’m afraid I’m not going to be good enough. I’m afraid I’m not going to let go of…"—oh, that’s what I need to deal with. Is the fear of these things I’m talking about? That’s what the eye of the needle does. It puts you in touch with those issues of what your basic fears are all about. So once you now recognize, as you have just done by asking the question, “What about this fear? What about that? What if I’m not good enough? What about that?” Now you know what it is you have to deal with. Now it’s clear to you what it is you need to let go of. That’s what the eye of the needle has done for you. So it is allowing you the opportunity to streamline yourself and strip away all of these negative and fear-based beliefs. But first, it has to bring them to your attention, and it does so through the emotion of the fear, by saying, “Oh, I may not be doing this right. Oh, I may fail at this. Oh, what if I don’t do it in time?” Oh, all of these fear manifestations. Those are the things you actually need to look at, because those are the things that came up by you being willing to go through the eye of the needle.
Questioner: And so what does that mean? Eric, you’ve created permission slips that are working for you for a while, and then all of a sudden they’re not working anymore.
Bashar: And you don’t need it. You don’t need it. You have become your own permission slip, or your belief system has changed to a degree where a different permission slip, if you still need one, will work better for you, because now you’re a different person with different belief systems and different things, different symbols, different tools will work better for you than the things that used to work. Even in your own scriptures, it says, “As a child I thought as a child, I acted as a child, but when I grew up, I put away childish things.” You don’t need those toys anymore. You can use different toys, different things, and you can realize that you are the toy maker. So you may not need them anymore. You may not need them at all, or you may need a different permission slip. So use your imagination. Look around. See what’s attractive. See what comes to you through synchronicity as something that you say, “Oh, that would be fun to do, and I feel I believe that that would help me get to the next level of my evolution.” It’s up to you to decide these things. It’s not about saying, “Oh, well, that permission slip doesn’t work for me anymore, so something must be wrong.” No. It may be that you’re done with it. You have put away that particular toy. It’s time for something else.
Questioner: And then the idea that um, making a permission slip or creating a permission slip that works… what’s involved in that?
Bashar: Again, it’s just a matter of what you are synchronistically attracted to. Usually, the permission slips that work for you will come to you. You’ll find a particular book. You’ll hear about a particular lecture. You’ll find a particular teacher. Somebody will turn you on to a particular discipline or artistic expression, something along that line. Somebody will give you a particular object. It will come to you if you’re just open to it. It’ll flow. It’s part of the flow of the unfolding of your life, automatically. You don’t have to work at it. You just have to recognize what it is you’re attracted to. “Do, oh, suddenly I’m very attracted to the idea of reading tea leaves. Oh, suddenly I’m very attracted to using tarot cards. Oh, suddenly I’m very attracted to seeing a lot of movies about this subject.” It’s up to you to understand and recognize the symbols in the way that they come to you in life that could actually function as permission slips for you, based on what it is they allow you to believe they’re doing for you. So if seeing a bunch of movies on a certain subject opens your mind up to that subject a little farther, then that has been a permission slip that has allowed you to open your mind a little farther on that subject. It’s that simple. Don’t overcomplicate it. It’s not a big mystery. Just use what works that comes to you. Use what you’re attracted to. That’s the nature of a permission slip. It’s something that’s aligned with your belief system that you feel will give you permission to expand, to create more of yourself. That’s it. Don’t overcomplicate it.
And it is really marvelous the way consciousness is designed so that it creates permission slips that are exciting for the person. You know? Yes. And I’m even hearing the idea of the opposite coming from many people. In other words, if you enjoy complicating things, then that’s your permission slip.
Questioner: And what about the person that um, they have a permission slip, and what were they saying that… um, okay. So the idea that it creates a permission slip that’s the most exciting for you, and this individual is saying that they have very deep connection to the idea of ET contact, and that’s the permission slip that gives them this really high level of excitement. Does that mean that contact is relevant in terms of what’s going to happen, or does it simply mean that it’s like your consciousness is tricking you into that higher state simply to get you into the higher state?
Bashar: It could be either. But you know, tricks are not always bad. You love magic tricks, all of you, most of you. So the idea is that just calling it a trick doesn’t mean that it’s not getting you where you need to be. Sometimes, because of the insistence of the physical mind and its ingrained and inbuilt and trained stubbornness, sometimes a trick is necessary to get you out of that particular pattern.
Questioner: I see. Does ET contact mean to the human race that we have such a high degree of excitement, and then there’s of course people who have fear and all of these very intense energies?
Bashar: Well, let’s put it this way. On a very simple level, you are discovering more of who and what you are, discovering more of the connections you have to everything and all that is, which includes the idea of extraterrestrial, extradimensional, and spiritual levels of existence, beings, and consciousnesses. So the idea of extraterrestrials is a physical way of relating to more of yourself, seeing a reflection of things that you believe are immense, more expansive than you are right now, and therefore allowing you the opportunity to either welcome that expansion or be afraid of that expansion, based on your belief system as to how you relate to the idea of knowing more about who and what you are, whether you have a positive view of yourself or a negative view of yourself.
So the idea of encountering extraterrestrials, on a very simplistic level, reflects the idea of your ability to expand, to see yourselves as greater beings, equal beings among the stars in the expansiveness of the universe, to stretch out, reach out, learn more, experience more of who and what you truly are as reflections of all that is—as does the spirit world as well. But the extraterrestrials, for the most part, are more physical, and therefore you have a better way of relating to them and orienting to them, and it still serves the same purpose of allowing you to expand yourself by using ETs as a symbol of your own expansion.
Questioner: And is that in a sense similar to different religious icons in that sense that end up drawing a huge following in terms of a certain religion, let’s say?
Bashar: Fundamentally, yes. However, in ways that religions may then be manipulated by individuals, not necessarily so.
Questioner: Is the similar idea that humans could misinterpret ETs similar to how they might misinterpret religious messages?
Bashar: Of course. Humans are very good at misinterpreting things. That’s our challenge, right? It’s one of them. Yes.
Topic 27: Time, PTSD, and Phobias
Questioner: And as far as um, since there’s no such thing as time… uh… uh… there is the experience of time. Just because we say time is an illusion and it doesn’t necessarily have an experience in the same way on spiritual levels that it does in physical reality, doesn’t mean time doesn’t exist. It exists as an experience. When we say time doesn’t exist, we simply mean it’s a side effect. It’s an illusionary experience. But the experience of time obviously is real. You base your entire society on it. But you base your society on the experience of time, the illusion of time. So it’s real as an illusion. And so how do we create the past from the present?
Bashar: Well, again, every time you change yourself, looking at it from a linear, time-based perspective, because you believe in cause and effect in a certain order. So anytime you may change in the present, your insistence on cause and effect says essentially something different must have happened in the past in order for me to be this different person in the present. Therefore, you are literally changing the past in a way that makes sense for who you are now, because you believe that something must have happened to make this happen, this change occur. Something must have happened in the past because you believe there had to be an initial cause that created this changing effect. Does that make sense? Do you understand what we’re saying?
Questioner: Yes. And it kind of reminds me the idea of, excuse me, you sound hesitant when you say that. Well, I was just thinking about like a person in a novel, you know, and every time you change, you change your memories, you change your past.
Bashar: Yes, in terms of what you’re creating that to be to have brought you to the moment that you are. Yes. That’s how it works. Now, I’m not saying you have to focus on it that way. I’m just saying that’s the mechanics of it, so to speak.
Questioner: And what would be the value of understanding that we… time is an illusion? We use that as an experiential device, yes. And the memories that we’re experiencing are created in the present. So you would think like for PTSD that people would be able to use that.
Bashar: Absolutely. Yet many times the stories you hear are of it coming upon them, in a sense. All right. Well, you always have to remember that people make certain choices to experience certain things, and they will not necessarily change that until they feel they’ve gotten out of it what they came to get out of it. So you can’t just say, “Well, it’s this and it can be used this way for everyone in every situation.” You always have to remember it’s a case-by-case basis, because everyone has individual choices about what they’re getting out of what it is they are experiencing. But yes, it can be used that way for those that are willing to understand that any change in the present is an entire change, a total change of the past, the present, the future, whatever you want to call it, because it all exists simultaneously, and any change will shift you to a different timeline. What you decide is in that timeline is up to you. So knowing how this works, knowing and understanding the mechanism, gives you the freedom to know that every moment is zero, and that what you decide it is, is what it is in terms of your relationship to how you experience what’s happening.
Yes, certain things, again as we said, may be set by the soul to experience, but again, realizations and inspirations and “aha” moments, as you say, are also designed in there, so that you can allow yourself to make shifts that are relevant for your growth and your experience. So realizing that every moment is a zero moment can allow you to choose to go, “All right, I am now such a different individual that I never had PTSD,” and therefore you no longer experience that idea, because you never had experienced it as the new individual who has a past that never had an incident that created PTSD. You can use it that way. But many individuals might actually say, on another level, “But I want to continue to experience this idea because it puts me in touch with things that are important for my soul’s growth, for my understanding of other people and their experiences as well,” and on and on and on, for a variety of reasons that different beings choose to have the experiences that they have. So case by case.
Questioner: And this person’s wondering about phobias and where they come from, and I also remember you discussing the idea that when people make a connection to a quote-unquote “past life” that they think is connected with a phobia, but that is actually a connection that’s being made in the present and strengthening the phobic experience.
Bashar: Yes. It’s all right to say, “All right, this phobia may come from an experience in a past life,” as long as you understand what the real mechanism underlying it is: in that it is something you’re actually creating in the present, because the past, in that sense, is here right now. So again, people may be using it for their own purposes, maybe giving them something to transform, to transcend, to go beyond, to feel the strength within them, to see things in a different perspective, a different light, to learn that the thing that makes them fearful can be looked at in a different way. Again, there are a million different reasons why people may choose to connect to the idea of certain fears and phobias and what it is they have decided it’s going to help them do. So again, there is not one particular panacea, not one particular caveat that will work for everyone, because everyone has a different reason for choosing the experiences they are having. And so the idea of what they choose as their phobia—especially this person was asking about insects, yes—um, that there’s a symbolic relationship also to whatever the object of the phobia is, and it could be any number of things. It may not even be literal. It may be what the insect symbolizes, or what, shall we just use this term, “memory,” it might jog of an experience they may have forgotten. So again, the idea is it’s not just cut and dried, not just black and white, but may exist as several shades of gray.
Questioner: Okay. I think some people got the innuendo there. [Music]
Topic 28: Absolute Zero, Aphantasia, and Ancient Tree Stumps
Questioner: Um, in nature, there was a question about um, at absolute zero Kelvin, yes, where particles stop moving and disorder disappears. The coldest an atom is at that level, or yes, is that what’s actually happening? What’s happening when motion is slowing down?
Bashar: It never actually stops. The vibrations are always there, but they change in a different way. They’re experienced in a different way. You may appear as frozen at absolute zero. It may appear to your senses to not be moving, but you have to kind of look in a different vector, a different direction, to understand that the vibrations are still there. It’s just that on the physical level, they may appear to have vanished because you’ve reached the threshold in one context, the threshold of physical reality.
Questioner: Um, there are people in the world, including this person, um, who have the inability to see in our mind’s eye and can’t create mental imagery. Can you discuss why this happens, and is it bi… you know, what would cause this?
Bashar: All right. Again, case-by-case basis. But the idea in general is that some people may not need mental imagery. They may function in a different way. They may have auditory experiences, tactile experiences, that serve the same function for them. They may be experimenting with the idea of not necessarily having one ability and replacing it with another. But the idea also can be that there may be a belief system that is preventing them from having that. So if that is the case—if that is the case—we can suggest a particular exercise where they actually choose different objects. Doesn’t matter really what they are. If it’s an object of interest to them that they’re attracted to, use that. That’s fine. And stare at that object for a period of about 15 minutes. That can rewire the brain to always call up a mental image of that object after that point, if they so desire. But that can be an exercise that can help some people allow themselves to feel or see or experience a mental image of an object, and with practice, they can start sharing that with other objects, whether they’ve actually stared at the object or not. So it just depends on what the person is using it for, but that’s one exercise that they could perform.
And it is interesting that I know there was a boy who was able to learn how to—he was blind, and he learned how to echolocate. Yes. So anytime you face a challenge, there’s always some sort of opportunity there also, if you don’t sort of fight the experience, I guess you could say.
Bashar: Yes. Remember, challenges are the things that you chose to experience that will teach you more about why you chose to experience physical reality, what it is you’re attempting to learn, what it is you’re attempting to accelerate, how you’re attempting to grow. So understand the challenge, and you will understand more of yourself and why you chose to be where you are.
Questioner: Um, this person is asking: can you elaborate on ancient tree stumps? It seems that there was some point in our history when gravity was lower on the planet, and trees could become absolutely massive, miles wide and even more in height.
Bashar: Um, like this is a misunderstanding of what people are looking at. Gravity was not that much different, although has fluctuated here and there, but not to the degree that this person is talking about. The idea of what many people think are tree stumps are simply eroded volcanic cores or other particular geological phenomenology, or even some people have used what you would call Photoshop AI to create fake generations of these images. No, these are not tree stumps. Trees did not grow that big on your planet.
Topic 29: Gardening, Moon Bases, and Hypertravel
Questioner: And um, if we wish to start growing our own food in our own homes and yards, what are some basic principles you can give us that can ensure our food is grown organically as possible, and while maximizing our yield? Um, and it seems to be necessary to avoid pesticides, I would imagine.
Bashar: Investigate Amazonian Dark Earth, Terra Preta. T-E-R-R-A P-R-E-T-A. Investigate that. You can use your internet to find out what it is and how it naturally, when created, extends the growing abilities of plants in a natural way, in a vital way. Thank you.
Questioner: Um, are there any ET machines deep in our Earth? Not our Earth, I’m sorry. On the Moon?
Bashar: Yes.
Questioner: And are there… if you were to uh go into the earth center, would there be some sort of a doorway to get in there? In a sense. Again, are you talking about the Earth or the Moon?
Bashar: The Moon. You will not get to its center. You don’t have to. There are portals and machinery in subsurface hollows that have been created to house those machines. Some portions of them do extend to the surface, but they’re disguised. But you’re not going to the center of that body. You don’t need to.
Questioner: Can you tell us a little bit more about what’s going on with the moon right now, and perhaps some information about the dark side?
Bashar: There is no permanent dark side. It is simply called the dark side because it perpetually faces away from the earth because of tidal lock, gravitational tidal locking. So remember that the other side of the moon that faces away from you gets as much light as the near side does. That’s why you have phases of the moon. But “dark” is simply meant hidden, not literally physically dark. There are things and bases on the far side of the moon, because again, they are on the far side, so that you cannot necessarily see them with your telescopes from Earth.
Questioner: What happens? I mean, extraterrestrial bases? Yes. So what happens when they orbit the moon? Some astronauts have seen remnants of these things. This information has simply been hidden.
Bashar: I see. Okay.
Questioner: Um, oh, and just some other questions about the hybrid children. Yes. Will they actually be born to us or to… no?
Bashar: No. No. The hybrid children that we’re talking about will be brought to Earth. Hybrids are born all the time on your planet because you’re all hybridized, and in the future, it may be more common. When the idea of the hybrids that will be brought to Earth mature, and in time will mingle with humans and produce offspring, and then you could say, “Yes, hybrid children are being born to you.” But the first children we are talking about, the Shaniah, in that sense, will be brought to Earth.
Questioner: And will they all be the same age, or they’ll be… will some of them be like an infancy kind of thing, and some of them will be younger, some of them will be older?
Bashar: They will be different ages.
Questioner: And what is the general timing of this?
Bashar: That I am not going to tell you. Okay. Let us simply say, most likely, in general, you will start to experience some of this before your year of 2040. But I’m not going to be more specific than that. And I said “some of this,” not all of it.
Questioner: And is there such a thing as hyperspace travel, or is it only quantum jumping?
Bashar: There is a form of travel that could be likened to what your science fiction represents as hyperspace, but for the most part, most beings that go from star to star will use what you’re referring to as quantum jumping, or what we refer to as vibrational locational reorientation, because it always follows the principle that you’ve described of how you actually change using the locational variable. Yes. There are those that use some different kinds of technologies that might be more likened to the experience of hyperspace as you understand it. But for the most part, beings that we are familiar with that do travel from star to star will use the vibrational reorientation location principle.
Topic 30: Edgar Cayce, Atlantis, and Splitting Prisms
Questioner: Okay. And um, there’s a question here about Edgar Cayce saying that a consciousness would rise out of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge that would shift the planetary consciousness on Earth. And is there anything else you can tell us about what he was tapping into with that?
Bashar: Well, the raising of the consciousness of the connection to ancient Atlantis is what that’s a reference to.
Questioner: Okay. And the idea that back in World War II, we had these two different—the Axis, I guess, and the Allies—type situation. Was that also a splitting prism phenomenon? And is there yet another earth that is not relevant to us but that exists where the other side… one in…
Bashar: Oh, there are several different Earths where different histories played out. Almost anything you can imagine, from that happening on many different Earths, to it not happening at all ever on certain Earths.
Questioner: So is that a similar splitting prism phenomenon that happened there, or this is much different?
Bashar: The splitting prism that we are describing happens all the time. Remember, you’re always shifting to different parallel realities. The reason we’re calling it out as a “splitting prism” is because you’re starting to become consciously aware that that’s happening all the time. Remember, it’s not about the idea that you’re not shifting. It’s not about the idea that you’re not already going to different versions of Earth. It’s about the idea that you’re becoming aware of the different versions that you’re capable of navigating to. The splitting prism is more a recognition of the awareness in your consciousness that you are always splitting, always shifting.
Questioner: Okay. Well, that is all the time we have. Questions for… is there anything else you would like to add before we…
Bashar: We would like to always express our unconditional love to all of you, to be yourselves, and to be in service. If you cannot find your passion right away, do something to be in service to others, and you will find it quickly one way or another, because you are giving of yourself, and you will get the reflection of what it is yourself actually needs.
So now you may enjoy the rest of the communication. Relax and enjoy. Allow yourselves to please become very relaxed. Deep breathing in and out. Let go of the cares of the day. Allow yourself to defocus and open up your mind, your heart, your spirit, your body, as you continue to breathe. Whatever you want to add as sound, as images, is up to you. But allow yourself to know that it’s all about surrendering—not the definition of giving up, not the definition of losing control, but the definition of surrender that allows you to relax into the automatic control that’s built in to each and every one of you, to allow your life to unfold in the way it automatically, synchronistically can unfold, to present you with the opportunities, circumstances, situations, people, places, and things that will come to you in the correct order. Synchronicity being the organizing principle of all of this, being the orchestration of all of this that allows you to receive these things in proper timing, in a way you can handle, in a way that gives you time to consider, a time to explore, a time to let in, a time to really experience all aspects of every single opportunity and challenge that comes to you in a way that serves you best, in a way that serves everyone best, without insistence, but with the persistence of knowing that what comes to you is part of your passion, whether it seems like it or not. Even exploring something you don’t prefer can give you the lessons you need to explore your passion in a more grand way, a more accelerated way, if you use it that way, by staying in the positive state, getting the benefit from it, without insistence that it should be this, or this outcome should be that, because you don’t really know. You don’t really know where you need to wind up and how that’s going to look. In your heart, you do. But in your physical mind, let it go. See what comes. Deal with the present. Whatever is there, whatever is in front of you at this moment, is the most important thing that you can be looking at, the most important thing you can be experiencing, the most important thing you can be investigating as to why that’s there and how you can use it. What do you believe about it? How do you define it? And do those beliefs and definitions work for you?
Take the time to explore every moment. I don’t mean you have to procrastinate, but take the time to realize that what’s happening in the moment is happening for a reason—your reasons—to give you an opportunity to explore the themes you chose to explore in this life, in this experience of physical reality. Relax into them. Let them flow through you without insistence, without resistance, but with the willingness to persist in inviting in all those things that will serve you. Breathe them in and exhale them into your world, into the atmosphere that you surround yourself with, in the bubble reality that is you. Take the time to truly cherish, to appreciate, in gratitude and grace, the things that come to you in life, because they all serve you if you let them.
Take the time. Take the time. It is your time to take. It is the time you make. For you are its creators. As you shift, stay in the present, so that the amount of time things take doesn’t have to be so much. You can experience the idea of inspiration coming to you when there is no insistence and there is no resistance. Inspiration is what will replace it. Knowingness is what will replace it. And the action that goes with that inspiration and knowingness is what will replace the insistence and the resistance that comes with insistence. You do not need to force your will upon anything, for that only shows that you don’t believe in the power of what you say you believe in to begin with.
Let it flow like water that very slowly dissolves the rocks in the stream and carries those minerals downstream to where they enrich the soil in which new things can grow and be refreshed and be renewed. Breathe it in and breathe it out. There is no need for insistence, for everything falls into place with pure synchronism. Everything is already connected. Let it show you the connections. Be willing to receive awareness of the connections. Be willing to receive the help you are already being given by so many: your spirit guides, your family, higher mind, all that is, all the different levels of consciousness of which you are becoming more and more aware. Allow yourself to receive what you are being given, for it is only unconditional love, and all the assistance you need is contained therein.
Breathe it in and breathe it out. Breathe it in and breathe it out. Breathe it in and breathe it out. Take the deepest breath in, and without resistance, let it out in a great sigh of release, a great sigh of self-healing, a great sigh of self-awareness, a great sigh that everything will come to you that you truly need. Let it work for you automatically, without resistance, without insistence. Let yourself be carried on the current of creation, for each of your currents knows exactly where you need to go. So let yourself flow with it.
Breathe it in and breathe it out. Breathe it in and breathe it out. Breathe it in and breathe it out. Every day, in every way.
