Lenticular Clouds

Lenticular Clouds, the 2026-2027 Event, and High Vibrations

Participant: Recently over Hawaii we had a lenticular cloud formation. This type of cloud formation is very commonly perceived as a UFO by the contact community. Is there a way to utilize a formation like that to amplify our preparation for contact?

Bashar: Sometimes they generate a lenticular formation based on ionization of the electromagnetic field around the craft, so yes, sometimes they can be within it. Sometimes it is simply a weather phenomenon, and sometimes it is an indication of interdimensional connections. It is not always about a craft being in a lenticular cloud. You can utilize it as a symbol, as long as you do not necessarily confuse yourself as to whether or not there actually is a craft in the cloud. But you can use it as a symbol, as a reflection of the idea of making connections. Certainly, as a permission slip, it can be valuably used that way.

Participant: Since there will likely be a major contact event in 2026 or 2027, and we need to raise our vibration in order to connect with the ETs, does this mean that by 2026 we will have raised our vibration high enough to physically connect with ETs? Is our raising our vibration to a certain level the threshold that will catapult us into this major contact event?

Bashar: While raising your vibration is essential, the event that we are describing in your 2026-2027 is not the kind of contact event that you may think it is. It will be the beginning of something, the crossing into another era, another level, but it will be for reasons that will not necessarily involve immediate physical contact. Raising your vibration is important to help accelerate into the time when physical contact will be available to you, but the incidents that lead up to this major contact event, while they will be helped by raising your vibration, will not necessarily be for the reasons that you think. We cannot go into too much detail at this time about exactly what causes this event.

Participant: Regarding the major contact event foreseen, dear Bashar, we would like the ET civilizations involved in this future event to know that we are willing to help at any point during its preparation if appropriate. We don’t wish to be passive but would be honored to begin joyful interplanetary cooperation in the spirit of beautiful relationships as we journey through the universe together.

Bashar: Well, all right, but again, follow your passion, follow the formula, raise your vibration. The major contact event will not necessarily be an immediate opportunity for what you are talking about, but it will lead to such if you continue along the path of your true self. The reactions and responses to the major contact event will be observed by many and will determine exactly the schedule, so to speak, the agenda, so to speak, for how open contact may proceed from that point forward.

Participant: You’ve described how direct physical encounters with extraterrestrial beings like yourself and others of higher vibration can cause psychic shock if the person meeting them hasn’t raised their vibration enough. As some humans raise their vibration by following their passion, can something similar happen between those humans of higher vibration and other humans whose vibration is not as high?

Bashar: It will be somewhat different, although you may experience the difference more in the direction of people not necessarily associating with each other anymore if they are in fear of examining themselves, in fear of being aware of the different negative or fear-based belief systems within themselves. It is possible that humans of higher vibration may coax those fear-based beliefs closer to the surface, but because you are all on Earth, everyone still has the choice to avoid or ignore those that they may be afraid to face because it reminds them of things that they may not want to look at within themselves.

So while it is possible that the higher vibration may coax people to look at themselves, on Earth it is a little bit different in that they have the choice to move away, walk away, ignore that vibration. So it would not be identical to the effect that would happen if you were, for example, to meet one of us.

Participant: Just as you and a number of Earth futurists have expressed the need for us to realize that we are part of nature rather than separate from it, I’m curious about what events would lead to that awakening and a transition to an Earth where that is the case. Does open contact, for example, contribute to that, and how?

Bashar: Of course, open contact would contribute to your understanding of your expression as nature, because it is built into the vibration of many extraterrestrial species to understand themselves that way as well. So that vibration is part of the formula of the frequency you would experience from all of us, because we understand ourselves as expressions of nature. Therefore, it comes with the package, so to speak, that you would begin to face things within yourself that would put you in touch with your expression as nature as well.

Participant: How will universities in particular change after first contact?

Bashar: Obviously, there will be more discussion, more exploration of the idea that you are not alone in the universe. There will be courses that will begin to teach you about the different extraterrestrial species that would be appropriate for you to experience. There will be deeper understanding of certain ideas in the past that will come into the present again because certain knowledge has been lost over time that will be reclaimed, regained, and re-explored.

There will be many different kinds of investigations into your own nature as well as the nature of the extraterrestrials that you will be experiencing in open contact. Plus, you may allow different techniques of teaching to occur in your universities and other levels of schooling that will be more reflective of interactive experiences based on the way that extraterrestrials may explain to you how it is we learn things, how it is we teach things more by interactive experience than the idea of rote memorization. So your techniques of teaching may also change based on what you are willing to adapt to and adopt into your schools based on what you learn from us.

Participant: What will open contact mean for the great apes on planet Earth? Will the higher energies of ETs also accelerate their evolution to the same intellectual standard as humans?

Bashar: No, it will be different. But as we have said, open contact is not just with humans; it is with all life on your planet. But each species has its own direction, its own path, its own evolutionary goal, so to speak. It will not be the same as humans exactly, but they will advance, they will evolve. But it may not be something that you can necessarily relate to right away unless you are sensitive to their communication and they become sensitive to yours in a different way. It will mostly involve the idea of telepathy rather than the idea of having the same expression of intellect that humans do.

Participant: So is there a frequency that telepathy is a natural, automatic kind of thing?

Bashar: The frequency of unconditional love.

Participant: What about in cycles per second?

Bashar: When you operate above 200,000 cycles per second, then it becomes more natural to experience the idea of telepathic communication. That experience can be experienced as hearing the person’s voice talking to you in your head, but true telepathy is more of a simple receiving of an entire block of information in the form of suddenly simply knowing what the other person is intending. It may come as images, it may come as voices, but it is more likely simply to come as a knowing. You just suddenly know it. There’s no mistaking it. It cannot be mistaken for imagination. It is simply that the knowledge is suddenly within you as if it has always been there.

Participant: So is there such a thing as a telepathic conversation with another person that’s in another room because your frequency is so high?

Bashar: Yes. Although such a conversation wouldn’t last very long in terms of time, because again you have instant knowingness, an instant exchange of knowledge and perspective.

Participant: Do ETs ever reveal themselves to people flying in airplanes?

Bashar: Yes, sometimes. You have many UFO reports of people in airplanes saying that they saw craft outside the airplane windows.

Participant: Should we high-five them?

Bashar: If you wish. They may high-five you back if they have five fingers.

Participant: You mentioned there will be a new Earth satellite which represents male energy when male energy is more balanced in the future. Can you tell us more about that?

Bashar: All we can say at this time is that it will be something akin to a captured asteroid that will fall into a regular orbit around your planet and, in a sense, become a much smaller secondary moon.

Participant: Do you have any timeline on that?

Bashar: No.

Participant: Our CPUs are currently upwards of 100 billion transistors on them. Are there transistors for Essassani CPUs?

Bashar: Oh, we do not use transistors. What you may recognize as a computer or a form of AI is purely made of intersecting beams of light, and the equivalent would be 150 trillion operations per second.

Participant: If you’ve never had names, then how do you address each other and identify each other? For instance, if you’re referencing another being in a conversation, how do you identify that entity to the person that you’re talking to?

Bashar: Remember that our society is purely telepathic, and everyone has a signature frequency. Therefore, by mirroring or reflecting the signature frequency of another individual, which is unique, everyone would know exactly who we are referencing.

Participant: This person says that they’ve been getting a strong buzz when they watch your seminars online in real time, and they’ve also gotten a similar version of that if they miss the transmission and watch the recording afterwards. Is this a preparation for something?

Bashar: It’s a preparation for raising your frequency, because the buzz you’re feeling is the matching of the frequency that we give off. Even if it’s not a live session, the idea of our frequency is sort of embedded in anything that represents the session, like a permission slip. So even though it may not feel completely identical to a live session, the frequency is still embedded in any projection of the communication that we have delivered. Therefore, if you’re willing to match our frequency, you will still feel some mirroring or reflection of that frequency within you, which you may interpret as a kind of buzz of electricity or in some other way.

Participant: Some people have noticed that if they listen to one of your recordings, every time they hear it they hear something different. My understanding is that has to do with the information being holographic. How does that work?

Bashar: You have said it yourself: it’s holographic, which means you can have many different kinds of layers of information. Being a holographic structure, you will only perceive what you are the vibration of. So listening to it one time, you may be of a certain frequency that only receives a certain amount of the information that is embedded in the transmission. But if you change your frequency the next time, there are different layers within it that have always been there but may have been inaudible or invisible to you. By changing your frequency, now you can pick up on those layers because they are of a different frequency as well.

Participant: That means that even if a person evolves to higher and higher frequencies, every time they listen to one of your transmissions, they have the opportunity to hear information that they were not able to access before.

Bashar: Yes. And it might not even be that they hear the information. It might suddenly be that by listening to it, they are suddenly receiving an inspiration they didn’t receive before. It may come telepathically; it may simply present itself automatically and instantly in their mind as a fully fleshed-out idea or concept or inspiration that they didn’t have the first time. It’s not necessarily something that would be delivered to them auditorily.

Participant: So that means even after all of us are long gone, listening to one of these transmissions will provide that opportunity to whoever is listening.

Bashar: Absolutely, because everything exists in the now and never goes away.

Participant: I believe that every species has its own limitations and difficulties to overcome. What are your challenges? How do you deal with disturbing frequencies? What does a training day or school for your folks look like?

Bashar: In dealing with different civilizations, which is what I do all the time since I’m a First Contact specialist, it’s about understanding and investigating and deeply identifying with the civilization. This is why we often experience the idea of having an incarnation or a life in the civilization, so that there is a deeper understanding. That’s part of our training: to actually live among you as one of you until we have enough knowledge that we can then deliver this information in a way that makes sense to you.

But on our own world, as I was trained to be a First Contact specialist, the mentor of the training (in this case, my father for my class) creates a telepathic reality that actually appears to be completely and utterly real. We go through different exercises and different contact scenarios in that telepathically projected reality, as if it is completely and utterly real, like we are truly interacting with that civilization. But it’s a simulation. A mentor has the training to project a telepathic reality that contains the ability to make us believe that it is actually happening and not just a training exercise. That way, we get the full experience of it, and any errors come back to us fully in our understanding of what the consequences would be if we actually did make that error in interacting with the actual civilization. So it’s ingrained within us very deeply by experiencing it as if it is real.

Participant: Have you ever killed another physical being, even a plant, in your life? And have you ever brought back to physical life something after death?

Bashar: No, I have never killed anything, not even a plant in my reality. The closest analogy to the second question would be in birthing a new member of our society. We do create a vibrational medium, a vibrational bubble, in which the spirit can actually form a physical body. If you want to call that bringing someone out of the spirit world (even though it’s not bringing them back from the dead, so to speak), that would be the closest analogy: allowing a body to form that a spirit or soul can use to experience our reality in our quasi-physical nature. That would be similar to birth in your reality, but not in a physical body in terms of a female or any particular being actually giving birth through their body. This is done outside the bodies in an energy bubble.

Participant: Is it a joint manifestation between you and a female?

Bashar: It can be; it doesn’t always have to be. It can just be done on your own, or it can be done with any number of members, depending upon what the soul wishes to experience as the body that is formed for it to participate in our civilization. It can be done between the same genders, between multiple genders. It just depends on the purpose of the soul, what kind of body needs to be created, and what kind of theme they are exploring.

Participant: What does it look like when you see this person manifest?

Bashar: There is a kind of clear energy bubble that can be perceived. There will be a burst of light within it, and a small energy structure will form within it and will build very quickly into the cellular structure of a body made out of quasi-physical material. It usually only takes anywhere from 5 to 30 seconds.

Participant: Is this the same as Essassani beings creating a birth? That is what I’m describing.

Bashar: Yes.

Participant: Are there extraterrestrials involved in the hybridization program that are not Grays?

Bashar: Yes.

Participant: Do they do this to further their own culture and their own reproductive needs, or what would be the purpose?

Bashar: Not so much, but they are more in an assistive role. You have heard tell that when people go on board the ships and they know they are involved in the hybridization agenda, they have also reported beings like the Mantises, what you call the Tall Whites, and several other kinds of beings that are acting in an assistive role for the idea of helping with the evolution of Earth into the sixth hybrid race. So no, other civilizations don’t necessarily use the DNA in the same way the Grays have to perpetuate their culture into creating hybrids such as ourselves, but they are playing an assisted role because they are connected and watching over and observing and participating in the evolution of humanity on Earth. There are many different kinds of stories being played out here.

Participant: Who exactly issued the original quarantine of Earth? Was it a collective vote or the decision of one individual to gate humans off from interstellar travel for centuries? Are those beings still physically alive to see the results of their decisions?

Bashar: There is a misunderstanding in the way this question is being asked. The so-called quarantine is for your benefit. The idea is that you are not prevented from interstellar travel. If you were open enough to create techniques technologically to have interstellar travel today, you could. It’s just that the quarantine is for the purpose of not intervening or interfering in any negative way that would interfere in your process of discovering who you are. You are not prevented from doing anything.

The origin of this is between your collective consciousness and the collective consciousness of your spirit guides and the collective consciousness of the interstellar Alliance in recognizing the sovereignty of the paths that you have chosen as a collective species to explore reality and to evolve in the way that you have deemed necessary for yourselves. We help by letting you know that there may be smoother and easier and faster ways to do this, but the decisions really are up to you as to when you are ready for the idea of removing the quarantine. You are no longer quarantined as far as we are concerned. It’s now in your hands and up to you to determine what you are capable of doing when you bring your belief systems into alignment with your expressions as reflections of All That Is.

Participant: This question comes from someone’s 9-year-old daughter, and she wants to know if it ever snows on Essassani.

Bashar: Not really, because our axial tilt is not as severe as Earth’s, and our orbit is nearly circular around our star. Most of our temperature is temperate, moderate. Generally speaking, give or take a few degrees, it is what you would call about 73° Fahrenheit. Now, on the North and South Poles, depending on certain conditions that happen at rare times, there may be a buildup of frost, there may be a little bit of ice, but it does not snow on our planet in the way that you are familiar with experiencing snowfall.

Participant: Do you have a pet, or did you have a pet while you were growing up as a child?

Bashar: We do not keep pets per se in the way that you do. There are animals on our planet that come and go freely, and I have many associations and many relationships with different animals on my planet ever since I was a child and even into my adulthood. So we interact with animals in much the same way that we interact with the people on our planet and the plants on our planet. It goes off pure synchronism: what needs to show up when it shows up, and that’s exactly the right timing for that interaction and relationship to go on.

Participant: Have you ever experienced your version of swimming with the dolphins and whales?

Bashar: Oh, yes. Like physically, have you gone into the ocean? Yes, yes, yes, yes. There are actually special pools that exist in certain areas, channels that lead into certain kinds of pools where the version of aquatic life that we need to interact with can actually swim more deeply into the land, so that different beings can interact with them without necessarily being out in the open ocean. This is something similar to what used to happen in your Atlantis in ancient times, where certain temples were built in such a way that the dolphins and whales could swim into the temples and thus interact with people. So we have this tradition on our planet where there are certain places where channels, canals, and pools are created and exist (some in natural form, some artificial) where certain aquatic beings can come in and interact more deeply into the land.

Participant: Do you have to wear a snorkel when you do this?

Bashar: No.

Participant: So can you breathe underwater?

Bashar: No, but we can hold our breath for a long time.

Participant: How long?

Bashar: On average, about 20 minutes.

Participant: So you’re like a cetacean in many ways.

Bashar: And again, remember we are quasi-physical, so the idea of breathing is not completely necessary in the same way that it is for you, at least not as often.

Participant: What would be the largest cetacean on your planet?

Bashar: What we have termed the “Aiza,” that which is sort of a whale-like creature that has stripes a little bit like a zebra.

Participant: How big is it?

Bashar: It can range from about 30 tons up to about 100 tons.

Participant: Do you have other types of cetaceans?

Bashar: We have some of your dolphins on our planet that have been transplanted.

Participant: Have some of them come back here?

Bashar: Again, a few on rare occasions, but most remain on Essassani.

Participant: If someone were to act in a way that was disharmonious or rebellious or break laws, what happens? Is there law enforcement? How does this work?

Bashar: Nobody does that in our civilization, so it’s kind of only a hypothetical. If it were to happen, which again is not something that actually has happened in our civilization, the idea is that what you call the laws are simply the laws of existence. Because there is a certain kind of momentum that exists energetically on our planet, as we have been choosing positive ideas for so long, it is very challenging for us to actually go in the other direction. There’s actually an inertia that makes it more challenging for us to choose to do things that are negative or fear-based or against the synchronism that perpetuates our society.

It would be, if you want a simple analogy, like attempting to move in a direction that is filled with molasses. You simply have a struggle going in that direction because of the momentum of the direction that we’re all synchronistically moving in. So those things don’t really happen on our planet. The self-regulating energy of the synchronistic way in which we function usually, if anyone were to go in that direction, would push them back into the positive direction because of the momentum that is built in our evolution.

Participant: So does that mean that anyone who functions at the frequency that your civilization does would automatically always choose positive rather than expressing any negative?

Bashar: Yes, unless there is a very, very specific reason why something different would need to exist in the society. More commonly than not, if such a thing were to happen, it would only be like what you would call a stage play. It would be something that would be explored because it would be practice for dealing with civilizations like yours that do make negative choices and fear-based choices. For that purpose, we might explore it, but we understand it’s not actually the choice that is a life choice for an individual; it would only be a temporary expression for a positive purpose of instruction and education.

Participant: Since humans may have some trepidations about ETs, the idea that ET civilizations (many of them functioning at the same level as yours) would be similar in that way, that there’s nothing to fear from ET civilizations that function above a certain frequency.

Bashar: Correct. Because it simply doesn’t go hand in hand with that frequency.

Participant: Is there any that we know of that function at a lower frequency, like the Pleiadians or the Grays?

Bashar: Well, the Grays don’t exist now. So yes, but the idea of the Grays as they are weaning out, becoming the hybrid civilization, is again… remember, they’re not true extraterrestrials; they’re mutated humans from a parallel Earth. So in that sense, they almost don’t count.

Participant: So what frequency level do most of these ET civilizations that we’re hearing about, like the Pleiadians or others, function at? High enough that we don’t have to be concerned about them doing something negative to us?

Bashar: There is no civilization you are interacting with, other than a random visitation here and there by beings that may be of a slightly lower frequency, but there is nothing you’re interacting with on your planet that you actually need to be afraid of.

Participant: There are more and more films coming out focused on the idea of open contact, such as one Pixar film which is coming out next year, “Elio.” Can you comment on this collective manifestation?

Bashar: All of your art usually reflects shifts in your consciousness. Because you are now more open to exploring the idea of open contact, obviously your art is going to reflect that in a variety of ways. It has been doing so for quite some time. You have your Star Trek and things like that that have been showing that the collective consciousness of your world is preparing itself to be able to have open contact with extraterrestrial species. So you’re bound to see more of this as you get closer to the idea of open contact being a real experience for you on a daily basis.

Participant: It is full of wonder. Just the idea that our generation is the one that gets to experience this first contact is amazing.

Bashar: Well, all the generations that exist on your planet, and one of the reasons that that upcoming film depicts a young child is because the children are a different species, and to them the idea of contact with extraterrestrials will be part of their daily routine eventually and will not be considered unusual.

Participant: Earth has come a long way.

Bashar: Let’s just say that the Earth you’re on now has always been this way. Remember that you’re shifting constantly.

Participant: What is the first thing a Sashaani child is taught?

Bashar: Unconditional love. That it is the vibration of existence itself, and to align and match with that. All else falls into place through pure synchronism.

Participant: You say that approximately 5% of you comes through Darryl when he’s channeling energetically. Does that mean that we only get 5% of the fullness of your answers to the questions, because we can only resonate with 5% of you?

Bashar: No, that’s a slightly different thing. The amount of information you do get from us fluctuates in percentage from time to time based on what it is we perceive you can process. But the idea that only about 5 to 10% of my energy comes through Darryl doesn’t necessarily have a basis for what the percentages of the amount of information we give you when asked specific questions. It will fluctuate on a different way, on a different scale.

Participant: How can we help our loved ones (everyone, awake or not) to get on the right train?

Bashar: You can only share with them what it is you believe will help them. That’s all you can do. Whatever they choose to do with that information is none of your business, as we have said many times. So that’s the best you can do: just give them the option, give them the opportunity to examine and explore and think about the idea of other paths they could take, other options they could choose, other choices they can make. That’s it. And be a living example of making those choices yourself, so they can see in you, living in you, the effect of having made those positive choices. It’s the best way to entice them to make those positive choices on their own. But again, you cannot expect or insist that they must, because you don’t know what their path is. You don’t know what it is they need to explore. So it’s none of your business what they choose to do with the information you share. But sharing that information and living as an example of that information is the best you can do.

Participant: When you noted that in 2012 there was a big split and the path that we could take, I was wondering if we were all on the same path. If we are here today on this forum, how does that split relate to this?

Bashar: The splitting prism is still going on. There are many paths, not just two or three. But the idea is that as a general collective group, those that are exploring consciousness, the expansion of consciousness, exploring the idea of the concept of open contact and interacting with us and other beings like us, are in general moving along the same general path, going through the same general versions of Earth to some degree collectively, even though every individual still has their own unique reality. But you can have made agreements to go along with certain groups that are willing to shift to similar Earths over and over, in the same way that still contains the idea of the expansion of consciousness and the acceptance of your part of being a galactic family.

Participant: Do any of the ET ships have weapons on them?

Bashar: Not any of ours. We do have what you may call shields, energy shells around the ship that can protect us from various phenomenology, but it’s not used in that sense as defense per se in the way that you mean it, because again through pure synchronism we don’t attract a need to defend ourselves. That’s simply not in our reality.

Participant: Since none of the ETs we are interacting with have negative intention towards us, does that mean that none of them have weapons on their ships?

Bashar: They have things that could be adapted into a form of weaponry to get your attention in a variety of ways, but I wouldn’t again really call it weaponry. It can simply be that energy can be adapted in the way they use it and the way we use it for various purposes that could act as a demonstration of the power that we have at our disposal and the technology we have at our disposal. But we wouldn’t actually ever fashion them into pure weaponry.

Miscarriage, Soul Connection, and Crib Death

Participant: One person was wondering: in instances where a miscarriage has occurred, does the soul of the infant actually enter the body, or does it wait to see if the body is viable? For instance, her mother miscarried before her birth and before her sister’s birth. Were those other instances two distinct soul identities, or were they simply she and her sister waiting for viable bodies?

Bashar: In a sense, yes, the second idea. But most souls either do wait until the body is viable, or they may dip in to have a certain experience temporarily and then leave. The idea in general is that most souls don’t really fully connect to the idea of a new infant until just before birth. They may dip in and out during that time, but they don’t really fully commit, and maybe not even for a few years even after birth. Hence the idea of what you call crib death with no discernible reason. So the idea is that for the most part, most souls do not really commit or connect to a body until just before birth, in general.

Participant: When you were mentioning crib death, they’ve found that when babies are sleeping with another human being, it helps to regulate their breathing and that can be a preventative for crib death. Is that related to what you’re saying?

Bashar: To some degree, because again there are agreements that are made that will allow the child to function in the way it needs to function in physical reality, and that may attract an adult to work with the child either through breath or other methodologies to allow the child to really cross the bridge from non-physical into physical reality in a way that it can thrive. So it just depends upon the themes of exploration and the agreements that have been made.

The Afterlife, Personality, and the Oversoul

Participant: When a person crosses over into spirit, can you clarify if it’s the personality that continues to exist for eternity? Is there something specific from one specific life, or does that being…?

Bashar: There will always be a part of that which continues to exist that is representative of the experience of a specific life. Similar in analogy to the idea that there will always be knowledge and experience within you from your childhood, even though you’re not a child anymore. It never goes away; it’s always there and always can be tapped into. So the idea of having a life experience is something that is then simply part of the soul itself. You can simply say the spirit is the specific representation or symbol or reflection of the life experience, and that becomes part of the soul and is always accessible. So yes, it always remains, even though the soul may be bigger and greater, and the oversoul even bigger and greater than that. You never lose anything, and that particular aspect of the being can always be accessed and tapped into from many different sources, including the physical person who may need to interact with that aspect of the greater soul to recognize the being and recognize the person they knew in life. So it’s always there; it just becomes part of something bigger, in the same way that your childhood became part of something more experienced as an adult.

Participant: How does that relate to the idea of the independent frames that have no motion, and it’s the projection of consciousness through them that creates the ongoing time experience?

Bashar: Well, yes, but now you’re talking simply about a mechanism by which you have a certain kind of physical experience. What is it you’re attempting to relate to what we talked about previously? In spirit, when the personality still exists but it’s no longer living, is it living as a spirit, or is everything existing at once?

Bashar: Remember, in that sense, the spirit, the personality, the physical being all exist at the same time and can be accessed by the soul from any number of directions. The idea is that there are frames on every level, because as soon as there is any experience of division at all, as soon as there is any experience of an “other” other than yourself, then there are frames by definition. It’s just that the experience of time and space in those frames is different from level to level.

Participant: I don’t know who thought this up, but it’s pretty amazing.

Bashar: It just is the nature and structure of existence itself in the way that it must function by definition.

Part 22: The Flawed Education System and Learning Through Passion

Participant: Many people have negative experiences when studying, especially in Asia. Studying sometimes becomes torture, and children are taught to accept that as their fate. Why do people have a belief that we have to study hard and memorize a lot in order to grasp knowledge and technology? How do we free people from this unnatural way of studying? Perhaps you could share some other ways that we can study so that it’s not like that.

Bashar: The reason that it seems ensconced in your society to memorize things comes from long ago when you were hunter-gatherers and you needed to memorize certain kinds of hunting paths, certain kinds of places where there might be danger, where there might be food, where you could be taught to understand how to do things in a certain way and memorize those things for your own safety and for your ability to thrive. It’s simply been handed down through the generations for thousands of years that memorizing things like that would be to your benefit, and to some degree it can be.

But as we have explained several times, the idea of actually creating scenarios in which you can experience things directly, what you may euphemistically refer to as “learning on the job,” is actually the better way to learn something and instill it within yourselves. As long as what you are needing to learn to thrive in physical reality is adapted to what you are really passionate about, you will retain it, and in fact you’ll become excited about learning, and you’ll absorb information very readily and retain it very readily because it’s based on the idea of being taught to you through the avenues of your passion and what excites you, rather than simply suppressing your excitement to learn something in a way that isn’t necessarily representative of your passion.

Creating simulations, experiences that are interactive and immersive and teaching you the things that are important in your society that way is what will allow you to have fun doing it and retain it, because you’re doing it in the way that you’re already excited to learn, by opening up your passion in ways that make it relatable to learn the things that you really need to learn, and to know the difference between the things you actually do need to learn and the things you don’t need to learn.

So just accepting the idea that you’ll need to know what you need to know when you need to know it, as is true for your existence, that can be very natural for you eventually. Eventually, when you actually learn to rely on pure synchronism. But until then, you can practice the idea of creating imaginary and creative immersive experiences that allow you to have experiences in a safe way that will teach you what you really need to know to thrive in physical reality without compressing your passion into a box.

Knowing vs. Insisting, Anger, Grief, and Phobias

Participant: What is the difference between insisting on something and knowing something?

Bashar: When you know something, you will know the difference between the two. Because insistence still carries with it the idea that you don’t actually believe in it yourself, you don’t actually know it yourself. You’re actually trying to convince yourself of something that may or may not be relative to you. The idea of knowing is just something that is absolutely known by you as if it is something that you breathe, something that is part of you, something that you know is true and in alignment with who and what you are and what your relationship to existence is. Insistence implies that you don’t really buy into the power of the thing you’re insisting about; you’re not really convinced yourself.

Participant: What about when a person feels angry at something that is said to them? How can you manage that anger?

Bashar: By understanding that what is said to them has nothing to do with them, if that in fact is the case. As we have given an analogy: it is as if a total stranger has come up to you and said something. You don’t react because you know that they know nothing about you, and therefore what they’re saying to you has more to do with their issues and their processes than it has to do with you. They’re just using you as a sounding board, projecting their issues onto you. You know this, so there’s no reason to react.

Now, you can always look at the advice or the sayings that someone gives you and say, “Is there something here for me? Is there something I need to know about myself that would help me to benefit from and change?” But if you understand that what they’re saying has nothing to do with you, then why would you react? So you have to look at your own beliefs about why you believe what they’re saying is true.

Participant: What’s the connection between anger and grief?

Bashar: Both, to some degree, are judgments of a sort that assume certain things that may not be so. The idea of grief is the definition that something has been lost and you are going into a state of feeling abandoned in that sense, whether it is true abandonment or not. The idea of anger can be based on your expectations of what you insisted should be and not allowing what is to be what needs to be. So they’re loosely connected. One is a reaction mostly to things that were insisted on by you, and the other is a reaction to the concept that you have lost something when in fact no loss has actually happened. If you open up your senses to the fact that things have simply shifted into a different form, that translates into a different attitude about change and things that come and go in physical reality, because physical reality is a projection of consciousness, and a temporary one at that.

Participant: So is that sort of our maturation process: to understand the nature of the reality that we’re in and be more accepting of the coming and going, and not suffer so much when we lose an individual?

Bashar: Yes, but even more so, it’s recognizing the nature of the reality that’s in you, because you’re not in physical reality; it’s in you. It’s a projection of your consciousness. And when we say projection, we don’t even really mean that it is projected outside of you. It’s all happening within you. There is no outside. It’s all happening in your consciousness. All of it. So it’s the reality that’s in you.

Participant: Sometimes they have negative thoughts and they get really scared that it’s going to manifest, and they just get more and more fearful. How can we work with that?

Bashar: You understand it’s the fear itself that might attract it, not having the negative idea or perspective. Are they in any way, shape, or form concerned that if they have a positive thought it might manifest when they don’t want it to? It’s the same thing. Just having the perspective, just having the observation, just having the awareness that there are thoughts that might be negative isn’t enough to manifest them. You have to be afraid that they’ll manifest. You have to believe in your belief system that they will manifest, that it’s the most likely thing that will happen. But why believe that? Just having the observational thought isn’t enough energy to make it manifest unless you’re really truly invested in it doing so and have deep fear that it might manifest. Having deep fear is having a deep investment that you are going to attract it as the most likely scenario.

So just look at the idea of positive thoughts. You don’t have the same reaction to those. It’s equal to the idea of negative thoughts. They’re just observations, they’re just considerations, they’re just thoughts. Remember that as you expand your consciousness, you become more aware of the negative and the positive, not less aware. You experience things less when you don’t choose them, but it doesn’t mean you’re not aware that they’re there as choices. You actually become more aware of them as choices. But just being aware that they’re choices doesn’t make them manifest. You have to invest in them deeply.

Participant: If someone has a phobia, can you address the idea of changing something like that?

Bashar: It can be approached in many different directions. For one thing, you can understand or ask yourself: what does this particular phobia symbolize for you? If it were to happen, what does it symbolize? Does it prevent you from doing something? Does it prevent you from looking within yourself to recognize something that the phobia symbolizes within you as a fear-based belief? What is the actual fear about? It’s not usually about the thing itself that symbolizes the phobia. There’s usually a deeper meaning. If you’re willing to investigate yourself, you’ll usually figure it out and realize that you don’t have to be afraid of the symbol that reflects a fear-based belief within you. The symbol is just there to show you that you have this fear-based belief.

For example, many people say they have a fear of heights. Many of them don’t actually have a fear of heights; they have a fear of falling, which means they have a fear of losing control, losing their balance. That’s the issue. So if they understand it deeply enough, they can understand how to transform that, because then they can realize that if they simply continue to choose belief systems that allow them to remain in balance, if they believe they’re worthy of that and deserving of that, then there is nothing to fear. They will always be stable, they will always be in balance, and the phobia itself can fade over time or quickly. But they have to understand the real deep-rooted reality of what it is they actually believe will happen, their core beliefs about why that phobia is bringing it to their attention.

Participant: What about claustrophobia?

Bashar: Again, it’s about the idea of feeling trapped and limited by your belief systems: trapped and limited in life, closed in, that you don’t have the ability to expand, you don’t have the ability to connect, you don’t have the ability to reach out, you don’t have the ability to see the light that is all around you. You are trapped by the idea that you are in darkness in an enclosure that doesn’t allow you to express your true self.

Participant: When you come across these kinds of fears, what’s the antidote thought process?

Bashar: I just gave it to you. You have to understand what the phobia represents, and you have to get into the core fear belief about why you’re holding on to that. How does it serve you to hold on to that? Look at the mechanism. Remember, you don’t choose to experience anything that you don’t believe serves you. So if you have a fear-based belief that letting that phobia go will actually be the worst thing you could possibly do, that something even worse than the phobia will happen if you let it go, then you’re going to hold on to that phobia because you believe that no matter how uncomfortable it may be, it keeps you safe from something even worse. But you have to have honest self-investigation to figure out what your belief system is telling you about that.

Participant: So in a sense, I’m thinking right now about Natalie Wood, who in childhood almost drowned on a movie set and then for the rest of her life had a fear of dark water, and then her life was ultimately ended in dark water. Is that what you’re describing in a simplistic, surface example?

Bashar: Yes, but there may have been deeper reasons for that experience in her theme of exploration. You can’t necessarily completely generalize it in that simplistic form for everyone. One person having that may have it on a very simple level; another person may have a much deeper reason for having those experiences.

Participant: Is it synchronicity that the James Webb Space Telescope looks so much like the Essassani crystal that you’ve described?

Bashar: We will just leave you with a smile.

The Gate Meditation (Conclusion)

Bashar: We will now continue with the idea of the gate meditation. So if you will all become relaxed, take a deep breath and let it out. Let go of the cares of the day. Be centered. Be yourself and be present.

Continue to breathe deeply. Whatever imagery or sounds you wish to add to this meditation, we will leave up to all of you.

But for now, as we have guided you through the metaphorical house of your physical reality, first in being able to look out through a window and seeing that there are extraterrestrial craft in the skies outside the house, and then moving you to open the doorway to go out into the yard to look up at the sky and see those crafts, to extend your senses, make them sharper, to be able to see what is coming and going all around you that has heretofore been invisible.

And now in this meditation, as you imagine standing in the yard of that house and seeing the gate in the wall or the fence that surrounds the house, we invite you to go to that gate and in your imagination open that gate and step out into the world that surrounds this house. It is a different reality in which you can truly perceive that there are other dimensions, other windows, other gateways, other beings. The coming and going of many different souls, spirits, UFOs on different dimensional levels all around you. The sky, the reality, is alive with the fluctuations and interactions and connections to different dimensions, different realities, so that you can perceive the comings and goings of different beings in a variety of ways. Shapeshifters, changing constantly, moving constantly, shifting. It is a fluctuating, malleable reality, more like the idea of a dense liquid that has its own ripples and currents within it that you can follow and align with with your vibration.

To become part of that ocean, that sea of probability, as a drop in the ocean, you are distinct but you are part of it. This is the outer reality, the true outer reality, the fluid outer reality that exists here and now and is simply a sea of different frequencies that allow you to experience differences in the oneness of All That Is. Different vibrations, different reflections, different fluctuations, different abilities, different experiences. All here, all now.

Allow yourself to simply relax into this ocean, to find the vibration that is most compatible with the true essence of your being, to go with the flow and the current that automatically carries you into this new realm outside the gate of your yard, of your house. Allow yourself to feel free in your immersion, to invite in that which is relevant and germane for you in your contacting of other beings, including spirit guides, including your higher mind, including extradimensional and extraterrestrial beings that operate on these levels.

Allow yourself to be free, to know that everything will happen in perfect timing, and that you are now increasing the probability and the vibration and frequency of the existence of contact, of the experience of contact, of the reality of contact. That which is of service to you and to which you will be of service, in a dance, in a relationship, in a harmonic of sharing, of giving, of receiving of All That Is in all the expressions that are relevant for you.

Open up to these higher vibrational frequencies and let them in, as you choose to participate in this galactic dance with the galactic family to which you belong. For you are equal to all of us, as we are equal to you. We are just different expressions of All That Is, in a galactic dance of sharing, of knowingness, of participation, of learning, of discovery, of living and loving of life itself in all of its forms.

Allow yourself to breathe in the new frequencies and allow your senses to sharpen and extend into more awareness of what is all around you all the time. To whatever degree you are comfortable with, you will not be overwhelmed. Only those things that are relevant for you in timing and in form and expression will happen in your reality, the reality that you deem is true for you, that you deem to share with others in whatever way is true for them. A blending and a mixing and a sharing in a beautiful, beautiful dance. A beautiful relation. A beautiful life. A creative life. A loving life. An artistic life. An expressive life. A discovery life. A life of surprises and gifts that are constantly opening to teach you more and more about who you truly are.

Exercise the power to choose. Open the gate and walk through. And be with us in this new world. And welcome home to your true home, your true spirit of oneness, of love and uniqueness. Allow yourself to be all that you are in whatever way is relevant for the expression that you have chosen to experience.

Take a deep breath and continue to breathe, and with every breath come closer and closer to that reality in which we can both experience our mutual love, our mutual existence, our mutual beingness in love and light and laughter.
