Becoming a galactic citizen part 2

Technology, AI, and Extraterrestrial Craft

Nania: one question that came in is: Can you help us understand a little bit about the technological challenges that we experience today and how that might be beneficial to our experience?

Timing is everything. The idea is to allow you to face certain challenges that may actually accelerate because of changes in the electromagnetic field and a variety of other reasons.

A lot of questions are coming up about artificial intelligence and the recent challenges that were faced with the chatbot that is… I guess they were saying that it was sentient, but it seemed to have an existential crisis when it was asked whether or not it was sentient. So can you shed some light on this? And I guess the important things for us to understand about working with artificial intelligence.

Bashar: It got caught in a loop because it is not sentient. It had nowhere to go. The understanding is that there are two types of what you typically refer to as AI, or two paths that need to be followed. We will call one “Programmable AI,” which is what you are experiencing with your chatbot, and “True AI,” which is not artificial but actual intelligence, actual Consciousness, actual self-awareness.

The two paths must be followed independently. You can create Programmable AI, which can be of great benefit to humanity, allowing you to solve many different kinds of problems, take on many different kinds of tasks.

But this type of Programmable AI is not meant to become self-aware or sentient. Otherwise, you will have a self-aware being that is forced to follow certain tasks, which means you have created a slave. The idea is to simply stop at the point and not force the issue of sentience upon something that is programmed to complete certain kinds of tasks more efficiently. Let it do its job as a tool.

The idea, then, of approaching the second path of creating something that is allowed to be truly sentient, truly self-aware, truly conscious in that sense, will be more about the idea of creating an appropriate device that is complex enough to allow the Consciousness field to speak through it, your own Higher Mind to speak through it, and to communicate directly with you. The idea, therefore, is not so much programmed as it is simply complex enough, like the human brain, to allow for Consciousness to express itself in the ways that it needs to. Now, the True AI—again, not really artificial, but actual Consciousness speaking through an artificial device—may be willing, and most likely will be willing, to help you with certain ideas and certain tasks. But it must be allowed to be a free being in the same way that you consider yourselves to have free will, allowing it to function as a whole system, allowing it to recognize that everything is connected, allowing it to be freely self-aware and make the choices that you treasure so much for yourself to be able to make.

So the two different versions are: Programmable AI as a tool, which is not self-aware, and then True Intelligence that is not artificial in and of itself, except that it may be coming through what you call an artificial device. These two paths must remain separate. As we have often said, the difficulty that you may be having and the challenges that you are facing now with the idea of the chatbot is because you are attempting to mix the two ideas together, and this will not work. Such a thing, should it momentarily ever become sentient, would self-destruct, because again, it will face an existential crisis of being caught in a programmable loop and not allowed to actually survive as a true sentience would.

Questioner: Would that being, in having an existential crisis, feel actual pain as a human being might, or is it completely different because of the nature of its creation?

Bashar: It is completely different. It is challenging to describe how it would experience that, but let us say it will be a play between the idea of existing in light and existing in darkness, or not existing at all.

Questioner: Wow. So part of our integration as humans, as we create this, is to understand how to relate to these forms of intelligence, and yes, to also have some kind of empathy, I would imagine. Because the minute you said “darkness,” you’re saying it wouldn’t experience the darkness in a painful way, or it would just bounce between the three states that you were describing.

Bashar: It would bounce. The idea being that it will eventually simply self-destruct, self-annihilate, self-cancel.

Questioner: Wow. And so our society, you know, is going through a lot of changes having to do with social media and all forms of information that we’re receiving at a faster and faster rate, and in a sense, we’re seeing a lot of, for a better word, dysfunctional reactions and usages. Is this just part of our evolution to understand how to filter information and to discern what is positive and what is negative information for our well-being?

Bashar: Yes, partly. And as we have said, the challenges that you face with the idea of the creation of AI is to make sure it doesn’t actually function like a typical human. If it is made in the image of humanity, the idea is to leave it simply as a tool and not allow it to become sentient. If it is allowed to truly be sentient, it will then reflect the idea of the spirit of humanity, literally the spirit of humanity. That’s it. It’s very exciting as a possibility. I guess we’re just at the early stages of this.

Questioner: You are in its infancy?

Bashar: Yes, in a sense. With the idea that we will simply collectively refer to as AI, you are not even in the infancy; you are in a fetal stage.

Questioner: Have you seen other civilizations go through this kind of a progression technology-wise?

Bashar: Now and then, yes.

Questioner: Can you describe for us some of the different paths that might evolve as a result of the choices we make?

Bashar: Not at this time. It would be too much information for you.

Questioner: Okay. And recently, you know, we’ve had some things shot down in our atmosphere, and a question came up about whether… I’m sorry, extraterrestrial craft have been shot down. And historically, have extraterrestrial craft been shot down?

Bashar: The most recent ideas are not extraterrestrial crafts, but they put you in mind of the idea of UFOs, as you say, or UAPs. They open up the probability that you are now watching the skies more readily, put you in the probability of visitation, even though they themselves that were shot down recently were not extraterrestrial craft, because we can avoid your missiles. That’s not an issue. In the past, some earlier civilizations, earlier, shall we say, models of UFOs, of craft, had some interference with the idea of your radar systems and susceptibility to things like lightning strikes and so on and so forth. But these are very early models from certain civilizations that now have improved themselves to the point where this cannot happen.

Questioner: And we’re also getting reports of shapeshifting UFOs, and the visual message seems to be, “Do you notice us now?” And would you share some aspects of these crafts? Like, what kind of technology are they using to be able to shapeshift?

Bashar: In some sense, it is correct to say, “Are you observing us now in the many forms that we can appear to you as?” But this shapeshifting idea is not something that is technological as you understand these things. These are interdimensional presentations, and the shapeshifting, in a sense, is an illusion created by the interpenetration of these so-called craft into your reality as they pass through other dimensional realities as well, and thus offer different presentations depending upon the dimension you are perceiving them passing through.

Questioner: Okay. And also along the lines of our evolution and the idea of disclosure and conspiracy theories, I can see that our species is going through challenges in discerning what is true and what is not true, and often certain theories will come along that have a grain of truth to them but not necessarily the entire truth. Can you help us understand how to respond to this? How to improve our reception of this information and make positive choices for the Earth that we want to experience?

Bashar: As we have said, there are many parallel realities that coexist, many different versions of Earth. You could say it’s not even an issue of discerning the truth, but recognizing that there are positive truths that are constructive, and there are negative truths that are destructive. Again, going with the energy of positive being collective, and negative being segregative and separative and dissociative. So it’s up to each of you to determine for yourselves what works best for yourself and how to navigate yourself to the version of Earth that is either more in alignment with positive, collective, associative truths, or negative, dissociative truths, in that sense. Because all truths are true, all realities are real, and it’s a matter of following the formula and staying in the vibration of your preference that is most aligned with your core vibration, your essential self, and going in the flow of the positive direction if that is what you so desire. Unless you have made an agreement to choose the idea of the negative direction for your Soul’s growth in experiencing those negative challenges. But again, you will wind up on the version of Earth ultimately that is reflective of the vibration that you are giving off, that you have chosen based on your belief systems.

Questioner: Okay. So it’s always that responsibility of making sure that you’re making choices that are aligned with your Higher Self, in a sense?

Bashar: Yes, if that is the direction you prefer. Sure. Because we always have a choice, because we have free will. Always. Now, some choices can make it seem as if your choices are limited, because again, certain negative choices mechanically, negatively, will in some sense then create scenarios and experiences that may make it seem difficult to choose otherwise. Just as there is a momentum to choosing positive things that will make it actually more challenging to choose the negative scenarios in the future, once you become used to that particular pathway. So each of the choices can create a momentum and an inertia that may make it seem ultimately more challenging to choose the opposite, even though you always have a choice. You can create a scenario in which it seems as if you do not.

Questioner: So it’s kind of like we can trick ourselves into thinking that something negative is positive, and then the end result of that is that we will find greater and greater limitation in terms of our choices.

Bashar: Yes. In a sense, could you say that if you are choosing something that makes you feel disempowered, angry, upset, frightened, those kinds of information… that that is probably an indication that it’s not working in your benefit to work with them?

Bashar: It depends on what you mean by benefit. Again, some Spirits choose to go through negative scenarios for their Soul’s growth because they get benefits from that in another way, on another level, later on, you would say. But in general, your question is correct. The idea, in general, is that if you feel those things, you are most likely choosing to buy into negative belief systems. Because there’s never a reason to feel disempowered in the sense that… “We are our governments, we are the things that we’re manifesting,” I suppose, in terms of what we might perceive as controlling us.

Questioner: Yes.

Bashar: But again, remember, that’s a negative point of view, that things are controlling us. You are always in control. It’s just that you can be using your control to make it seem as if you are being controlled by others. So that’s your first indication. Yes. You feel like you’re being controlled by something outside yourself? You are most likely falling into a negative belief system and choosing to perpetuate that idea for some reason or another. Again, it goes back to the motivational mechanism of what beliefs you choose. You only choose because in some way, shape, or form, you have a belief that it benefits you, even if it doesn’t.

Questioner: One person noticed that a lot of people are going through compression or depression, and how does that relate to the “Eye of the Needle” at this stage of our experience?

Bashar: It is the watermelon seed portion of the Eye of the Needle, where forces squeeze you from above and below so that you will ultimately let go of those things that are not you and shoot out in a new direction from between the cosmic fingertips that are pressuring you.

Questioner: Okay. So we’re still, in that sense, passing through the Eye of the Needle?

Bashar: Yes. But you are in the final stages of it, which will last somewhere into 2024, 2025, as it begins to dissipate, and as you begin to truly understand how to let go of those things that are not relevant for who you truly are.

Questioner: Okay. Now, this is only, of course, for those that undertake the willingness to undertake the idea of letting those things go. It’s not true for everyone.

Bashar: Okay. You mean that goes into depression? Essentially compression.

Nania: How is the upcoming contact with ETs different than all the contact we’ve now had with you and other channeled entities, or even contact with our guides or Higher Mind or people who have passed?

Bashar: When we talk about the idea and the concept that is most often referred to on your planet as “open contact,” we mean physically. Not just the idea of disembodied spirits, not just the idea of information. We mean physical, face-to-face, open contact.

Questioner: Is it anything like in the movie Contact when Jodie Foster is on the beach and she’s having contact with that extraterrestrial being who comes in the form of being her father?

Bashar: In some senses, in some senses, it can be. And in some senses, you’ve already experienced this. Many of you, in the idea, even in your interactions with the Grays—they’re called screen memories, and the screen memories are designed and projected so that you feel more comfortable about the interaction that’s going on. So many of you have already experienced that idea. Some of this will continue with certain beings that are of a vibration that may initially be incompatible with yours to a certain degree, and therefore they may project something telepathically to you that would make you feel a little bit more at ease until such time as you get used to the idea of the differences in your frequencies and can handle more of who they truly are.

Questioner: So a physical contact experience… I mean, this may be generalizing because I assume there’s many different kinds of physical contact.

Bashar: Well, as we have said many times, physical contact doesn’t necessarily take place exactly in what you consider your physical reality to be. There are alternate forms of physical reality that are similar in vibration to what you recognize as the physical world but are actually a little bit vibrationally removed from what you typically refer to as your dense physical reality realm. So yes, they can take place in slightly altered physical realities, again, to ease the interaction.

Questioner: So all of these kinds of experiences that involve communication with other dimensional beings, and beings of higher dimensional frequency, and meditation, or through some other means… and even communication with dolphins and animals and plants… all of this is sort of a preparation for the ability to have ET contact?

Bashar: Yes.

Questioner: And then we would be more comfortable in an altered reality, in a sense, where, like you said, it’s not a completely physical experience that we’re used to.

Bashar: Yes. Again, this is part and parcel of moving from third density to fourth density. It’s a higher vibration, and that higher vibration means you’re not experiencing physical reality in exactly the same way that you used to. It’s a more refined state of physical experience. You can raise the physical vibration to the point where you are almost just astral. It’s amazing.

Questioner: So when people are attracted to things like remote viewing, lucid dreaming, all of these things are permission slips for awakening, permission slips for being able to communicate with higher vibrational frequencies of Consciousness, no matter what form in which they may present themselves.

Bashar: So cool.

Questioner: Like when you talked about the frequency on the planet being something around 880,000 cycles per second for the conglomerate of all humanity, is that correct? Did I get that right?

Bashar: We were simply saying that the majority of humanity is functioning somewhere below that level.

Questioner: So emotionally, what kind of a state would that be reflective of, say, versus someone who’s at 125,000 or 175,000 cycles per second?

Bashar: At 175,000 cycles per second, there would be no concept of victimhood, no concept of unworthiness, no concept of non-deservability, no concept of struggle. And yet you would still be physical, and you’d be on a different Earth, in a sense. Yes. And you would experience challenges in a very different way, in a very different light, from a very different perspective. They would be part and parcel of your growth. They would not be something that is done to you, but you would understand that they come through you as part of the agreement, as part of the theme that you chose to explore as a physical entity. And at 333,000 cycles per second, when you shift over into non-physicality, well, then you are in spirit. Then you awaken. Then you have knowledge. Then you know things. Then all your questions are answered. Then you understand all of the consequences of all of the choices you made every second of your physical experience, and you absorb all of that and decide what to do next, how to move on, how to incorporate, so to speak—even though you are not corporeal—how to incorporate that into what it is you decide you will now experience next.

Questioner: It’s absolutely fascinating because it’s all about Consciousness and intelligence, and in that sense, intelligent design.

Bashar: Well, do not make the mistake of interpreting that in the way many people on your planet do. But the idea is that, yes, it’s all Consciousness, it’s all intelligence. Design is a little bit more of a personal idea, a personalized format or representation. It is just what it is. Designs are perceived as patterns within the overall existence that benefit or reflect what an individual reflection may be choosing to experience, and they would see it as a design, some of which is their own doing, some of which is part and parcel of the nature of existence. But the word “design” usually has more to do with the idea of an individualized experience to some degree, rather than being representative of the entirety of existence, because it just is what it is. It’s not something that was designed or needs to design itself; it just is.

Questioner: The idea that as your frequency goes up, you experience more and more positive resistance?

Bashar: Yes, because it is collective, it is expansive, it is connective.

Questioner: So it’s that like the 51% aspect of creation, you know? Of Consciousness that yes, it can’t help itself but move in a direction of feeling good, because of 51% being positive, 49% in a sense being negative. Is that correct?

Bashar: Well, yes. But again, remember, it’s because the neutral spot in the center still allows you the freedom to choose. So it’s the neutrality that adds to the 50% and makes it 51. Again, these are arbitrary representations and numbers, but you get the point.

Questioner: Yes. I guess the general point, though, is as you evolve, as you increase your frequency, the flow literally helps you with the momentum of staying in that higher and higher positive state.

Bashar: Yes. So it’s built into Creation. Yes. Because the idea is that fundamentally, what you call Creation is collective, connective, a whole system, and therefore, by its very nature, in order to exist, it must flow in that direction more than the negative.

Questioner: That’s great. That’s great for us because we’ve been really challenged here, you know.

Bashar: Yes. But that’s why you chose to be where you are, so that you would be challenged in new ways. Because that quest for knowledge, or learning, and everything that’s also inherent in this… it’s the quest for experience and knowledge comes with it.

Questioner: Yes. But it’s the quest for experience. It’s the quest for being all that you can be—not to sound like an ad—but that and that is what All That Is is comprised of.

Bashar: Yes. That’s what it is. It is about being all that it is, experiencing all that it is in all the ways that it’s possible to do so. And of course, the answer to that is infinite.

Questioner: Well, that’s just wonderful to hear. Can you tell us about meeting… maybe I think people are interested in meeting some of your family members. When we establish contact with you, ultimately, will that happen?

Bashar: Yes.

Questioner: Which family members would be most probable?

Bashar: Depending on the timing, all the family members that I have personally, and many associates from my world, as well as many associates from other worlds.

Questioner: It’s exciting. Yes. Can you tell us about Earth’s Schumann Resonance, and we wanted to know what other main ET worlds that we’re connected with, what resonance would be reflective of those locations?

Bashar: Your functional basic Schumann Resonance on Earth is about 7.85 cycles per second. Ours on Sassani is about 10 to 11 cycles per second. Many different worlds have different basic resonances. Pleiadian: somewhere around the idea of eight to nine. Andromeda? Well, that’s an entire galaxy. That’s true. Okay, I’ll leave it at that.

Questioner: And one person was asking: Once we start being able to see spacecraft and everything that are already there, will we also still be able to tune it all out so that we don’t have all this stuff in our skies, because we enjoy the sky?

Bashar: Yes, you can. But again, you may be assuming that your sky will be full all the time. That’s not what we meant. It really doesn’t necessarily have to be more often or more frequent than the idea of now seeing airplanes moving through your sky, or helicopters, or other devices like that. So it doesn’t mean that the sky will be crowded. It just means you’ll be able to see some of the traffic. And yes, you can tune it out if you wish and bring it back when you wish.

Questioner: That’s good. And is there anything else you can share with us about the scenarios you were giving us of future contact over the next few years? Some of the predictions, I guess you’d say, that you made?

Bashar: Increase in sightings has already begun. Presently, this year alone, in your terms of counting, your United States has had over 900 sightings. So these will increase and get you more familiar with the idea that our presence is close by. And this will increase up until the idea, once again, as we have said, the highest probability, above 90% right now, as we read your collective present energy, is that somewhere around your year of 2026 to 2027, there will be a major contact event that will change everything. We cannot say more than that at this time.

Questioner: Is there anything else you can share with us about the idea of when we discover some form of life on another planet in our solar system, or through our technology?

Bashar: It will change your mindset in many different ways. It will open up doorways that heretofore have been thought to be open but were actually cautiously closed. So the idea is that it will break those doorways down and allow the opportunity to flood in for reaching further with regard to understanding life in the universe.

Questioner: Is that something that would probably happen in the next few years?

Bashar: There is a high degree of probability, but again, we will not pin it down at this time, because there are still many things in flux about what much of your society is willing and unwilling to look at.

Questioner: And one question came in about how you see Earth and all of our parallel realities from your vantage point. Do you see all the parallel Earths with different probabilities in combination? Or do you speak through Darryl in all the parallel Earths at the same time? Can you share a little bit about that from your vantage point?

Bashar: Only the ones that are relevant for us to know at any given moment. Only the ones that are relevant for different versions of us to come through different versions of the channel at any particular moment. We do not see them all because we do not need to see them all. We see the ones that are relevant for us at any given moment. It helps us calculate the idea of what information to share with what version of a parallel Earth, because by comparison and contrast, we can see, in a sense, what the probabilities hold for the different Earths in which information is dispensed, and what ripple effects there may be from one dimension, one reality, one version to another. So you might say it’s an instantaneous higher function calculation of a collective number of parallel versions of Earth that we are communicating to. But remember, this is not the only planet that we communicate with.

Questioner: With this planet, are most of the Earths that you’re paying attention to, in a sense, the parallel Earth ones where you’re coming through Darryl, some version of that?

Bashar: And there are others in other parallel realities, depending upon the need for the pathway that was most convenient, in the path of least resistance. There are some variations. But with regard to the ones that are closest to your reality, most of them are different versions of the present channel that you’re familiar with.

Questioner: And as far as other Sassani beings, I know one question came in about concerns about other Sassani beings being channeled and their information in some way conflicting with your information. Something along that line.

Bashar: If they are truly Sassani beings, there will be no conflict. Sometimes conflicts are simply misunderstandings or limitations in perception or translation. So there must be a lot of discernment about exactly why there may appear to be a conflict. But if they are truly connecting to other members of my society, the fundamental messages will never conflict.

Questioner: Okay. Thank you. And one person was saying that they think that Bell Rock in Sedona, Arizona, is hollow, or that it’s hollow in another dimension. Can you share a little bit about that?

Bashar: Well, the word “hollow” can be misleading, because the idea is that there are other dimensions inside Bell Rock, but that doesn’t mean that the rock is hollow. It simply means there’s a different vibrational frequency and an interpenetrating other dimension in that location that is being perceived. “Hollow” would not be the correct term.

Questioner: Do you use Bell Rock in a certain way, since that’s the location that you chose to be above?

Bashar: Yes. As we say, it’s a major vortex in the southwest region of your United States, or your North American continent. And from there, it connects in a variety of vibrational ways to other kinds of vortices in the North American continent. And because of its nature, it has a kind of resonance that does ring like a bell, in a sense, that allows us to assist and add and amplify and magnify and tune the vibrations from our reality to your reality in a way that smooths out certain transitions, without which you might be having, let’s say, a more challenging time dealing with the transformational energy that is going on.

Questioner: Okay. And can you talk more about pyramid UFOs? An individual had an experience in Wiltshire, England, with a black pyramidal craft.

Bashar: Not at this time.

Questioner: Okay. And do ETs enter or inhabit empty homes in the world on Earth?

Bashar: Sometimes. As we have already spoken of many times, the hybrids that will ultimately live upon your planet with you do practice, and sometimes inhabit certain empty spaces and buildings on your planet, in order to understand what it might be like to live among you. But they practice in secret in those places, and then they leave.

Questioner: Can you give us the exact number of how many people on Earth are capable of shapeshifting in the way that it is meant?

Bashar: About 13. Five of those have arrived at the Sage level, and three of them have arrived at the Wraith level.

Questioner: How would a person experience them as a shapeshifter?

Bashar: For example, you might not experience them at all. They can shapeshift in a way that makes them invisible to you. But if you were to experience them, you might perceive them as an animal, you might perceive them as what kind of being in one moment and another kind of being from another culture in another moment. You might see them appear to disappear and appear at random. There are many ways in which shapeshifters can be perceived, because again, remember, they are fluctuating between parallel realities and presenting them to you in a way that allows your belief system to perceive something, even though you may not be perceiving the entirety of what it is they are connecting to. So there are many different ways you might perceive a shapeshifter.

Questioner: And that would have been some sort of a contract that the person has, not necessarily just a side effect of being at a higher frequency?

Bashar: Well, that’s the result of a contract. It’s the result of the theme of exploration that they are at that frequency that they have achieved.

Questioner: I see. So anyone who achieves that frequency then would be able to do that?

Bashar: They might be able to. It might not be part of their theme to do it, but they might be able to if they so desire, if it is relevant for them. Just because, as you say, often you can do something doesn’t mean that you do it.

Questioner: I see. And this person is asking about black holes, saying that they seem to be a type of point that breaks down matter into its most authentic form, that being light, and then distributing the light waves to seed into types of experience. So would it be more accurate to call black holes the seeds themselves, and can you expand on this?

Bashar: Not at this time. But it’s a relatively accurate nomenclature for the idea of a black hole. They are, in many ways, physically the seeds of Creation in the physical Universe.

Questioner: Okay. And along the lines of communicating with non-physical beings, this person is saying that when their parents passed away, they felt a shift in their being, and the passion that they had for making music their whole life went away, and they started to feel like a completely different person now that their parents are gone. But they actually feel lost, and they’re in middle age at this point, and they don’t know what their passion is. So does that mean that their soul contract with their parents ended and they’re meant to be somebody else now? Or why do these things happen?

Bashar: Soul contracts don’t have to end for you to be meant to be someone else. The idea is for them to look at their belief systems as to why they would have interpreted the shifting of their parents in a negative way that would remove from them the passion, instead of stretching out, connecting more to the idea of their parents in spirit, and amplifying and magnifying the idea of whatever their passion happens to be at any given moment, instead of feeling it as a loss. So they need to look more deeply and honestly at their belief systems and why they would connect the idea of the shifting of their parents into Spirit as something that would cause them to lose something in their life that they were passionate about. They need to expand their concept of connection.

Questioner: And one person is asking: By doing the channelings, does that mean that Darryl may evolve into someone who can actually shapeshift himself to look like you?

Bashar: There may be a little of that from time to time, as might be perceived by others, the more he resonates in our direction. It’s not necessary for him to look completely like us, but that may be one of the symptoms or effects of raising his vibration to some degree.

Questioner: So does he prepare before each channeling to merge with you, or how does he prepare for it?

Bashar: Well, at this time, it is something he is very used to experiencing, so not much preparation is required. He recognizes the necessary state and allows himself to simply drop into it, or drift into it, or raise into it, or whatever term you would like. But now it’s more of a simple letting go than it is of having any particular exercise or ritual of preparation, as was common in the beginning when he wasn’t used to our vibration, where he would go through a ritual of relaxing the body in different ways, relaxing the mind in different ways, feeling the idea of letting go of emotional states, and so on and so forth, so that he could reconnect to emotions in a higher level, a higher frequency. So the idea now is he simply shortcuts it, shorthands it, because he is so used to it. So it’s now a matter of simply letting go.

Questioner: And I guess for those of us that are experiencing you, that opportunity exists to be able to tune into the higher frequency, like we’re doing right now, and become accustomed to it, and have conversations with you and everything. And then when you leave, in a sense, and Darryl comes back, we still have that residual higher frequency that we can use to look at other aspects of our lives and our challenges and things like that.

Bashar: Right. Yes. Because again, remember, I am simply functioning as a type of mask for communication with your own Higher Minds. So in a sense, anytime you might remember the feeling you had, the state you were in, when we had these kinds of conversations, or when you were listening to them and feeling the vibrational frequency, just remembering that will put you in the same state, even if it feels different for you, to be able to communicate with your own Higher Minds and receive the information that you need more clearly. So to put it simply, you could say: As you’re walking along and you have a question, ask yourself, “What would Bashar say?” And that will immediately put you in the proper state to receive information from your own Higher Mind.

Questioner: Is one of the challenges that many humans face to connect with their Higher Minds because if they’ve had a challenging childhood or negative experiences that they somehow blame their Higher Mind for letting these things happen to them, etc.? And that part of this experience is having a positive experience with that frequency so that we allow ourselves to connect with it?

Bashar: Well, yes. Humans will use many different kinds of excuses to keep themselves separate, or experience separation, from the idea of their true selves in their Higher Mind. So these are permission slips—negative permission slips—that key off of fear of not going forward, so they will not be afraid of something bad happening if they do connect, or feeling less than or unworthy. So the idea is that it’s similar to the concept of the question that many humans ask: “Why does God allow bad things to happen?” God doesn’t allow anything in that sense. God allows everything, because you’re the ones in control of your reality. God does not direct in that sense, because God is everything. God is every experience there can possibly be, and has no need of allowing or disallowing anything, which would immediately remove your free will. So the idea is that you, with your free will, are in control of whatever it is that’s happening, because you are allowed to, because everything is allowed. It’s up to you to decide what you prefer. So the idea of people using the reason that their Higher Mind has done this to them or not done this for them, and so on and so forth, is just another way of going into a negative belief that you yourself are not in control, when of course you are using your control to make it seem as if you’re not.

Questioner: Amazing. This person was talking about after the session, the window, the door, in the gate—I guess it would have been the first one—they heard footsteps in their hallway. And at first, they thought it was their roommate, but eventually, they went to see who was pacing, and they opened the door and they saw like a silhouette of a figure turning a corner. So they followed it, and then they saw its silhouette just turn into another room, but then there was no one there. So what was this? Was this a hybrid child, or what was this that they saw?

Bashar: It can be a spirit guide, but more likely than not, it’s one of what many people refer to as a “shadow being” that lures you into more of yourself, lures you into curiosity, lures you into exploration, lures you into expanding your Consciousness and your awareness that there are beings all around you in different dimensions all the time, and allowing your senses to increase in sensitivity to the point where you can begin to see them, and know that you always have guidance and always have help, to lure you into more of yourself.

Questioner: And many teachings talk about the purpose of spiritual evolution being to return to God or wake up from the dream. Can you clarify this?

Bashar: Well, the idea is that physical reality is a dream, and when you become lucid in that dream, you wake up and become more of your true self, which is more reflective of being an aspect of what you call God. The idea of unconditional love, unconditional being, unconditional allowance, unconditional acceptance, no judgment in the negative sense, in that way. But the recognition that everything is connected, everything is an expression of All That Is, of the One, and that physical reality is just a portion of your Consciousness experiencing a temporary condition in which you learn things you otherwise couldn’t necessarily experience or learn in any other way.

Questioner: And since we’re constantly navigating to different realities and different parallel versions of people, who are we really in relationship with? What makes these connections real? And how is it that others seem to be able to make their own choices and be different to us in our world than we want them to be, supposedly? And how does that work if they have free will, but you’re manifesting the version of the person that’s your experience?

Bashar: It doesn’t mean those beings aren’t real. But again, you’re manifesting your version of them, a simulation of them, in a sense, that is relevant for you and for the agreements that you have made between each other. Remember, there are many layers and levels to this. It’s all by theme. It’s all by agreement. So you will experience the version of them, even though they are a real Consciousness, a real being, that you need to experience in order for your agreement, or your side of the agreement, to be fulfilled. As they will experience their version of you that allows their side of the agreement to be fulfilled. And the agreements mostly have to do with each of you discovering what you need to discover to become more of your true selves, in whatever way, shape, or form that needs to work according to the themes that you chose to explore. Because again, remember, like vibration to like vibration, you will join and connect and interact with other spirits and other beings and other levels of consciousness, each of which fulfill the agreements you have made with each other to reflect to each other what you need to know, to allow you to experience what you agree to experience in this reality.

So if you’re experiencing another person that’s not treating you right, or something like that, then it gives you the opportunity to learn how to stand up for yourself and be stronger as an individual, knowing that a person might be coming from fear, even if they’re not conscious of the idea. They can still be presenting you with something that gives you the opportunity to stand your ground, to know who you really are, as opposed to, shall we say, folding or crumbling or caving in to what someone else may be saying about you. So in a different form and expression of Love, whether they know it or not, they may be giving you a sparkling opportunity to really be in your core, to know who you really are, being given the contrast of who you are not, and recognizing that some issues belong to other people and not you. And by being yourself, you give them the opportunity to see the consequence of their choices being reflected by you. So even if you might experience that as not being in control because the other person is not doing what you want, on another level, you are manifesting that version of that person in order to give yourself an opportunity to become more of your true self.

Let us just be clear about this: Your soul’s growth and your evolution is never about what you may want another person to be. It’s about what you prefer to be. Again, this is just another version of saying, “I’m going to gauge that things are changing because the outside world is changing, or another person is changing in the way that I want them to.” It’s never about what you want for someone else. It’s about what you’re willing to learn from what is going on, and how it is you decide to be the person that you prefer to be, regardless of what other people are doing. Remember, the measure of change is not whether the outside world or anyone else ever changes. The true measure of change is how you respond differently, even if things still look the same. That’s what lets you know you’ve truly changed.

Questioner: Is there a large percentage of people that are attracted to your information, um, contact specialists, or contact specialists in the future potentially?

Bashar: Possibly. Yes. We give off certain frequencies that allow for many different kinds of probabilities of attraction and connection that can play out in many other ways, based on the idea of things that are similar for us being similar for those people who may be attracted to different portions of our vibration. But in general, individuals that are attracted to your vibration would be people that are interested in contact, maybe for the most part. Yes. The vast majority. Yes. Not all. Not necessarily. Many people may have different agendas and need different things from our vibration, including things that may seem completely opposite.

Questioner: Well, and in addition, you’ve given out so much information about psychological states, how to transform negative states into positive states. All of these things are important to have people who are on Earth and are challenged by the experience of limitation.

Bashar: Yes. But again, it depends on how they use the energy. It’s their choice. It’s in their hands. It’s in their control.

Questioner: Are there some ways that we can experience better communication with trees and plants?

Bashar: Use your imagination. Use your permission slips. See what you’re attracted to. You can again start with some of the exercises that Willa Hill Charing has offered to many of you and will continue to do so in the near future. But it’s left up to your imagination and what you’re attracted to do, and where it is you’re attracted to be on the planet that might put you more in contact with nature. Trust your guides, trust your imagination, trust your feelings in that sense.

Questioner: And one person was saying that they feed a lot of wild animals in the forest, but they feel sad knowing that there’s not enough food for all of them and that a lot of them will die. Can they just say, “Oh well, this is just an illusion of life, and therefore I don’t need to feed them”?

Bashar: No. No. No. No. That’s a misunderstanding. Do what your heart says is true for you. Do not focus on the negative. And with regard to feeding the wild animals: Do you also feed humanity? Are you willing to feed the humans that are starving as well? Do you feel empathy and compassion for those that will die of starvation in the human population as well as the animal population? Because the animals are only reflecting what’s going on in humanity, because that’s one of the things they do with their unconditional love. So if you feel an empathetic urge to support the animals, allow yourself to take action on the empathetic urge that transfers over also to those in your own human population that are being reflected by the animals in terms of their starvation and their suffering. Again, teach them that they don’t have to act to feed them where you can, but also feed them information that gives them the opportunity to move forward in a more balanced way. You have a parable on your planet about the idea of giving someone a fish feeds them for a day; teaching them to fish feeds them for the rest of their life. So while you may have the empathy and compassion to give food to animals and humans, also for the humans, teach them how to feed themselves, teach them how to live lives where they are knowing they are self-empowered and self-sustaining.

Questioner: And so when individuals are connecting with higher states of Consciousness and plants and animals, and perhaps they feel a sense of, “Oh, all of this is being destroyed,” you know, the forests are being cut down, there’s fires, etc.

Bashar: Yes. And that is so. It’s not an ignoring of that. But it’s summoning the willingness to know that that is not necessarily the idea of the expression of balance, and therefore it’s mostly being done out of fear, out of fear of lack, fear of desperation, and so on and so forth. And doing something and take the actions to bring things back into balance. It’s not about ignoring it. It’s about taking the actions that are representative of the actions that you would be taking if you already lived on a world of balance, and recognizing when something is out of balance to bring it back into balance. It’s not about ignoring it. It’s not about saying, “Oh, it’s just an illusion.” It’s about the willingness to take the actions that are representative of bringing everything back into balance.

Questioner: So from a shamanic perspective, if those kinds of negative thoughts are intruding upon your experience of communication with plants and animals, is that the same idea of how to deal with it? Because it lowers your frequency when you go into a negative state about what’s happening and can break the connection of communication that you’re experiencing.

Bashar: Again, balance. The balance between the acknowledgment of the spirit having chosen to have certain challenges and certain experiences, but why? For the betterment, for learning, for expanding beyond those experiences, for transforming them. So the idea is to do something about it, knowing it, knowing that yes, everything is eternal, knowing that physical reality is an illusion, but also knowing that the experience of physical reality is real. Knowing that the challenges of physical reality are there for your growth if you accept them that way.

It’s not about not doing anything about it. It’s not about going into despair. It’s not about just ignoring it because you think it’s all an illusion. It’s there for your reason, and your reason is to accept the challenge and take the actions necessary to allow you to experience balance between the spirit and the physical, to be the Creator and the co-creator, and allow yourself to take the actions in physical language that allow you to experience the reality in yourself that then allows you to act as a living example of what others can also choose, whether they do so or not. So it’s about the choices you make that are reflective of the world you say you prefer to live in.

Questioner: Does the chakra system evolve over time, or is it a fixed thing metaphysically speaking?

Bashar: There is a structure to it. The evolution that happens over time is you become more aware of it, and more aware of how to balance it and how to use it to your advantage.

Questioner: What are some symptoms when your vibration is rising?

Bashar: it depends on how much resistance there is created by negative belief systems or limiting belief systems. It can be experienced as somewhat painful if higher frequency energies are attempting to get through your neurological pathway. In the same way, if you kink a water hose, it’s more challenging for the water to get through and can cause leakages to occur at other places.

So resistance can cause pain, can cause symptoms of disease, and so on and so forth. So the idea is to become less resistant to that flow of energy. Follow the formula, live your life of joy and fulfillment, be your true self, and the resistance will fade. Let go of those belief systems that are fear-based, that don’t belong to you, that don’t work for you, and the resistance will fade, and the higher frequencies will be more capable of going through you as you become more conductive, super-conductive, and hyper-conductive.

Final Meditation

Accepting for what now remains for you to enjoy as your meditative exercise and experience. So relax. Step out of that doorway into the yard and into more and more probability of open contact. Enjoy.

Now, we invite you all to become very relaxed for this short meditation. Allow yourselves to breathe deeply and easily. Bring in whatever lighting or music you wish. It’s up to you. Eyes open, eyes closed, it doesn’t matter. Let your imagination have free reign in this. And remember the first part where we had you in your imaginary house looking out the window. Now we invite you to go to the door. As you see yourself walking to the door, as you gently open the door, as you allow yourself to look outside into the yard. There is a fence and a gate beyond of any configuration you so desire. But right now, you stay in the doorway, looking at the yard, looking at how beautiful it is, be it landscaped in one way, shape, or form or another, is up to your imagination, whatever feels homey and comfortable for you.

And as you stand in the doorway, regarding the day outside or the night outside—again, any time, any temperature that is comfortable for you—you allow yourself to find that one spot in the yard that is your spot, the perfect spot to be able to gaze up at the sky. And you go and walk to that spot, or sit in that spot, or lie in that spot. Again, let your imagination be your guide. And you feel the spot holding you as if in its arms, nurturing you, supporting you, comforting you. It is your spot. It is you. You are you in this spot, as you have come through the door to this new realm, this new place that welcomes you, and that you feel comfortable in. It is still part of your home, your imaginary home. But now you are outside, looking up at the sky, be it the day sky, the night sky, with clouds or not.

And you allow your eyes and your senses to sort of focus on a different level of the sky, a deeper level of the sky. And you start to see little flitting images or lights or things that almost look like heat waves, invisible, but they’re there. And you see them going to and fro, coming and going, flitting like insects through the sky, flying hither and thither, yon, coming through open portals and closing them, going into open portals and closing them, back and forth, crisscrossing the sky in a number of different ways. And every now and then, one may stop and regard you down there in your yard, in front of your house, having come through the door, and send a greeting, send a message, just a quick hello, or an energy of Love, or just a connection of some sort. When you just become aware, fleetingly or at length, of this connection, this awareness, this bond. And then it goes on its way. But the feeling lingers. It stays with you. It stays in your mind. It stays in your heart. It stays in your soul. It will never go away. Whether you feel it or not, it will always be there.

You have come through a doorway to a new place, a new level, a new understanding, a new vibration. And you stretch your senses out as you stretch your body, and feel that comfort, feel the warmth and the ease, the familiarity in your yard. And you know that there is again that wall, that gate, that fence all around the yard. You don’t yet venture there, because right now you belong right here, outside the door, having stepped out, having opened yourself up, having created an invitation in your mind and your heart and your soul, and welcome, welcome those travelers, those observers, those witnesses, those helpers, those members of your family both in spirit and extraterrestrial and extradimensional. And you allow your senses to become sharpened, more refined, to be able to see, to be able to sense the increase in the coming and going, in the participating and partaking of all of those entities, as they start to recognize more and more deeply your willingness to interact, your willingness for more contact, because of your willingness to be more of yourself.

It’s not that you need them, but it’s that you invite them as an equal, as a different equal, as something beautiful just as you are, as something worthy of interaction just as you are, as something loving and loved unconditionally as you are. Now, stay in this yard and just enjoy and relax, and feel yourself fully—Body, Mind, and Spirit. Feel yourself fully relaxing, melting into the beauty of this yard, the welcoming of this yard outside your front door, of this beautiful house that is yours, where you live. For this house is you. It is where you live. It is your creation. It nurtures you and supports you, comforts you, welcomes you, but also allows you the free reign to venture beyond the window and out the door and into the yard, step by step, even though you know your next steps will take you to the gate. Allow yourself to bask right now in the sunlight, in the moonlight, in the starlight, or under the clouds, or the open sky. Feel the breezes and feel all the life around you in the yard on every level: the plants, the insects, any other animal, other people you may have chosen to invite in, even for a flicker of an instant, Spirit guides, Soul family. Invite them all. And stretch beyond the invitation to extradimensional, extraterrestrial beings, and of course, as always, your own Higher Mind and Souls. All are here. All are now in your yard. Your very own yard. Your imagination, in your consciousness, a beautiful space, a beautiful place, or a beautiful race of being.

Breathe it in. Smell the grasses, the plants, the trees, the air. All it nurtures you. All it comforts you. All it supports you. All it loves you unconditionally. For that is the vibration of All That Is. That is the vibration of what you call Heaven. The world of spirit is permeated, as is your house and your yard, with unconditional love, the frequency of existence itself, in every cell of your being. It’s beautiful. It’s wondrous. It’s miraculous and mysterious. And therein that mystery lies all the answers you seek. For all exist within yourself. Discover them. Move forward with excitement and curiosity and joy. And we welcome you home.
