Facets of Creation

Channeling Another Entity (Arna)

Asker: I have a question regarding an entity that I channel. Can you tell me about him? His name is Arna

Bashar: For how long have you been bringing this energy through?

Asker: A couple of years now.

Bashar: it is connected, like most of you, to the idea that you each have connections to different kinds of consciousness on different planes, different levels, different, sometimes even star systems. Also, you are connected to the idea of your guides in spirit. And this, as you have named it, would seem to be a combination of the two ideas: of connecting to a slightly extraterrestrial source, but at the same time also a blending with your own spirit guide to bring to you in a form that you can assimilate the idea of a consciousness to allow you to connect more also to your own higher self. To train you to not only connect to your higher self as you are giving out information, but to also fortify others to allow them to connect to their own higher selves in the receiving of the information.

Asker: Yes. My understanding was that he was an ET and clarified himself that way.

Bashar: Yes. This is to bring out, as I said, aspects of the vibration that are connected to extraterrestrial sources, but also to give you more fundamental relationship with your own higher self so that you can bring that energy, as you would say in your language, “down to earth.”

Asker: I think even in a previous session I had brought the subject up about channeling as well, because I had had an interest or a love for that from the first time I saw you and others. All right. And I think even B, you said earlier a couple years ago that that experience could happen for me. But I’m, in chronological years, about Daryl’s age, maybe a little past that, and that has yet to start.

Bashar: but again, that is not completely so because, as was explained to you by the channel himself, there are many forms of channeling, and it isn’t always necessary for you to go into a state of repose and connect to another entity in order to be channeling information that is of benefit to you and others. By doing what you love to do and allowing a free flow of information in that state of being, you are in essence channeling.

Bashar: All right. Now, you may also choose, if you wish, to do it in the way that you see being done before you now. But that is really up to you. It is really just a matter of style. And just because you may not necessarily mirror a certain style doesn’t mean you’re not channeling. You follow?

Asker: Yes. Thank you. Is this helping?

Bashar: Yes. Does this address the situation sufficiently, or is there somewhere else you wish to take this?

Asker: I do, but I’ll come back to me later. I want to go on to some other people.

Connection with Extraterrestrials & The Grays

Asker: I am wondering what my particular connection is with extraterrestrials. I seem to be involved with them in various ways. In doing a lot of regression work with people to recall in detail their experiences with the ETs. And I believe I’ve had three meetings with them myself.

Bashar: You had more than that. You have three that you remember so far. Many of these kinds of interactions, for many of you, happen in what you call your dream state, when you are, so to speak, out of your body in other levels, in other dimensions and other realms. It isn’t always necessary for you to always remember every single encounter or interaction on that level. But in that state, much preparation is done, much information is given for you to, as you say, “download” into your physical reality when your mind becomes reconnected or re-involved in the dispensation of that information for and for whatever purpose you wish to put it.

Now, the idea in general for most extraterrestrial consciousnesses connected to your planet at this time is for those of you who have a desire to aid and assist others in waking up—in that sense, to awaken themselves to more of themselves. The true fundamental mission and purpose that all of you have in life is to simply be yourself as fully as you can, whatever that means in whatever way you wish to express that. Many beings working with other beings on other levels, many humans working with extraterrestrials, also have a similar agenda: to aid and assist others in waking them up to more of themselves, to allow themselves to, shall we say, integrate fears, doubts, belief systems that are negative, as you say, and smooth the way for them to act more holistically in their lives. This is the primary function of receiving information from other levels, and the specific application in which you are making it—to help others become more holistic themselves.

Bashar: Does this address the situation sufficiently, or do you wish to go down some other road with this?

Asker: Thank you. That was very good. And I’d like to know too, if generally speaking, if extraterrestrials are doing as much direct—that is, person-to-person, body-to-body—interaction with humans as they were doing for a while.

Bashar: Well, now it depends upon which extraterrestrial group you are talking about. Because understand that when you say “extraterrestrials,” you cannot lump us all in one group. There are many different groups with many different kinds of relationships to you. So, are you referring to a specific group?

Asker: I’m referring to the Grays first of all, the little Grays we call them.

Bashar: Let us address that first, because they are a very different idea from the groups of extraterrestrials that belong to an affiliation or an association that is aiding and assisting your world. First of all, understand that the Grays are not actually extraterrestrial. Let me explain.

What you call the gray beings are actually fundamentally parallel reality humans that have mutated into a different form. I will explain it this way. Do you understand the concept of parallel reality?

Asker: Yes.

Bashar: Is there anyone who does not? All right. A brief understanding: You have your Earth reality. You consider your physical reality to be, in that sense, discreet unto itself. Yet there are an infinite number of parallel realities of Earth and other realities, other dimensions, other universes going on at the same time, in a sense, all overlapping. It is similar to the idea of what happens when you watch your television. You know that you are watching a particular program, as you say, now. You know that at any given moment there are any number of other programs that exist at the same time, but they are invisible to you because you are not tuned to their frequency. But if you change the channel, if you change the frequency, you will then get another program, and the program you were just watching suddenly becomes invisible to you. It doesn’t mean it no longer exists. It’s all right here, right now, at the same time. But you only get the program, and you only get the reality that you are operating on the frequency of.

So, there are an infinite number of realities, an infinite number of versions of many different universes, many different civilizations, an infinite number of Earths, all existing right here, right now. But the only one you perceive is the one that your frequency of consciousness is tuned to. But there is a parallel reality Earth with a similar history to yours that actually went so far as to destroy itself in certain ways, to completely ruin, as you would say, its environment. And in that reality, on that Earth, the humans, in order to survive, had to actually genetically change themselves in certain ways to adapt to the reality that they had created. They developed a technology that is far above the technology that you have on your planet at this time in order to genetically change themselves. And thus, then, after a while, realized that they had also made an error in how they changed themselves. They realized that the genetic mutation they had caused in order to adapt to the reality they had created, in that sense, prevented them from that point forward from having the same kind of emotional structure that you do and the same kind of reproductive ability that you do. They were then dying out because they could no longer reproduce.

Thus, they realized that the only way to allow their civilization to continue would be to find viable human DNA and mix it with their own to create a hybrid race. Well, because they were the only humans in their reality, they had to come to a parallel reality—yours—in order to find viable human DNA. And thus, then, the reports of what you call alien abduction, where these mutated humans have taken humans aboard their ships and have extracted DNA to create a hybrid species that would allow their civilization to continue. So, in that context, the beings that you call the Grays are not actually extraterrestrials; they are parallel reality humans. Do you follow all that?

Asker: Thank you. Very helpful.

Bashar: Humans. Do you follow all that?

Asker: Thank you. Very helpful. Now, they are not interacting quite in the same way that they used to. To address your other question: they have now shifted mostly into another aspect of their agenda, which is called “climatization.” And what that means is the hybrids they have created are now situated on your planet in situations to allow them to learn how to interact more naturally with humans. Because one day, the hybrids—such as civilizations such as my own, because we are a hybrid civilization—will begin to interact with many of you on the Earth in time. And so the hybrids now that have been created by the Grays are being trained to learn how to interact with humans in a much more positive and constructive way. You follow me?

Asker: Yes.

Bashar: Now, other extraterrestrial groups do interact from time to time with humans in a variety of ways. As I said, for the most part, it is through dream connection, when you are, as a spirit, out of your body existing in other dimensions and other levels. That is where the majority of contacts take place. However, recently there has been an increase in actual physical contact on your planet between certain extraterrestrial beings and certain humans from time to time. But at this time, you are made to forget that so it does not interfere with your natural growth. So even though many contacts have taken place physically, you don’t remember that yet. In time, you will, when it is time, when it is appropriate for you to remember. And when it is time and appropriate for more individuals on your planet to realize that we exist, then there will be more open contact. And this will occur probably within the next two to three decades of time, generally as you count time.

Health Issues (Dystonia & Detoxification)

Asker: I have a number of physical issues that seem to become an obstacle. Physical issues. I have dystonia, and problems with my legs. They lock, and I have a hard time walking. I’ve had this for Only about 1 year max.

Bashar: How is your diet?

Asker: Well, fruits, vegetables, whole grains.

Bashar: Have you ever done a thorough detoxification of your system?

Asker: No, I don’t think so.

Bashar: Your planet has food, water, and air highly toxic, highly polluted.

It doesn’t matter how much nutrition you put in your body, organic or otherwise, if there are toxins in your cellular structure preventing the nutrients from being absorbed.

You see, the issue of health is not just the idea of intake and ingestion. The issue of health is the idea of what your body is actually capable of absorbing. And if your body has toxicity levels that are too high, then the cells are prevented from absorbing the nutrients that would actually allow your body to heal itself. Because all bodies have the ability to heal themselves very rapidly once they are given the appropriate nutrients and building blocks to do so that are natural, organic, and highly potent.

But first and foremost, you will find that because of the environment you have created on your planet, you tend to build up toxins very rapidly in your system that block your cell’s ability to absorb those nutrients. So strong detoxification programs of all the different organs of the body will be paramount in order for you to actually take advantage of whatever nutrients you’re putting into your body before you will be able to really see true healing results.

So we would suggest, because we have encountered this idea from many of you many times, we have in that sense consolidated our answer with regard to almost every health issue down to this understanding: If you will take advantage of some strong detoxification programs that have been designed—that already exists on your planet so that you don’t have to start from scratch, you don’t have to figure it all out yourselves because many individuals have already figured it out for you—and take advantage of these strong detoxification programs, you will then find that when you put the proper nutrients back in your body, many of the symptoms and conditions that you are experiencing will be rapidly alleviated.

One of the strongest detoxification programs and systems that exists on your planet is that which is produced by a company called American Botanical Pharmacy. Avail yourself of it. It has been specifically designed to purge your system of toxins. And thus, then, by doing that first, and also doing that on a relatively regular basis—two to three times a year—you will maintain the level of detoxification necessary for your body to then absorb the organic, natural, high-potency nutrients that you will then feed it.

Asker: I think so, since you specifically mentioned that program.

Bashar: Yes. You will find that they are located in what you would call your Marina del Rey area on your planet, near your city of Los Angeles. It is one of the few companies on your planet that has a strong enough detoxification program to really be of benefit, aside from simply going around figuring out what natural herbs would do it for you and putting together a program yourself. They have already taken the time and effort to do it in a way that is highly effective. And many people that have been told by your medical practitioners that they have conditions and diseases which are absolutely inoperable and incurable have been cured by this detoxification program and the addition of certain nutrients that they also provide, because then the body can heal itself when the blockages are out of the way.

Safety and Belief (Returning to India)

Asker: I visited India and actually lived there for several years. I had to leave for various reasons. is it safe for me to return?

Bashar: Do you believe it is?

Asker: I don’t know. That’s why I’m asking.

Bashar: If you don’t know, then it probably isn’t. Because you see, it’s an issue of belief.. it would probably be wise to honor the belief system that is uncertain by making sure that you remain in an area where you believe you are safe, unless you feel there is a need to challenge yourself.

Asker: No need.

Bashar: All right. Then always it comes down to whatever you believe most likely. And when you are uncertain, it would be wise to honor the uncertainty until you know. Until you know. In that sense, it isn’t an issue of safety at all, but simply an issue of being attracted to what vibration is most compatible with your joy.

Megalithic Culture and Ancient Civilizations

Asker: I would like to ask a question about the spiritual life of what we call our megalithic culture, and its possible roots in an earlier worldwide culture. Just what was the nature of that spiritual life, and was it indeed connected to an earlier worldwide culture that we have forgotten but are now beginning to discover?

Bashar: The answer to your second question is yes. There have actually been many different civilizations on your planet that you have completely forgotten about. Well, not completely, or you wouldn’t be asking. But in terms of historical records, many of the early cultures that existed on your planet, such as what you have labeled Atlantis, such as what you have labeled Lemuria, and so forth, did exist. But there are very few remnants left at this point to indicate their physical existence. However, some of what you call the megalithic spiritual practices come from those ancient cultures. Some simply come from the understanding that ancient humans had of their direct connection to Spirit, and so they simply intuitively drew upon what they could sense was their connection to Spirit, which in many cases on your planet, in your modern civilization, has been forgotten as well. So not all of the megalithic practices necessarily had to originate in ancient cultures in order to be practiced. Some people, when they simply got back to nature, formed a personal connection and a memory of their connection to All-That-Is, in such a way that they also brought through new practices that represented their awareness of that connection. So both.

Spirit Guide Name (Marigold)

Asker: Could you please tell me the name of my spirit guide? I want to get better acquainted.

Bashar: Why don’t you ask your spirit guide?

Asker: I have been asking, but nobody tells me anything.

Bashar: Then maybe you don’t need to know. Why? Because sometimes having what you call a name might actually slow your process of searching down. Oh dear. Oh dear. One moment. Okay. Do you like Marigolds?

Asker: Marigolds? Yes, I do.

Bashar: Why?

Asker: They’re very pretty. I just like them.

Bashar: Are they one of your favorite flowers?

Asker: Well, the rose is my favorite flower.

Bashar: I see. What do you feel about the marigold?

Asker: I don’t know. It just seems like it’s something necessary to have around. I don’t know why, but it’s something necessary to have around.

Bashar: If you were to use the word “Marigold” to represent the name of your spirit guide, would that feel correct?

Asker: Wow. That’d be fine.

Bashar: You may use Marigold.

Asker: Well, thank you very much.

Bashar: Marigold says you’re welcome.

Purpose, Mission, and Excitement

Asker: Um, I, uh, along the lines of my spiritual guide… well, I think I’d like to know if I do have an ET connection.

Bashar: Every being speaking with us today has some kind of an ET connection, or you wouldn’t be speaking with us today.

Asker: That makes sense. Did I make any agreements?

Bashar: Yes. Mhm.

Asker: Has… have I visited… um, I had an experience when I was in Diamond Bar, and I felt that I was taken. I wonder if my DNA was checked out.

Bashar: It has been. Not necessarily by the strongest connection you have, but by others. Yes.

Asker: Interesting. Um, I feel that I have a purpose. I’m not real clear on that. But I too have a connection with guides.

Bashar: All right. As we have already explained, once again, let us clarify this concept of purpose and mission. Yes, you all have the same purpose. You all have the same mission: to be yourself as fully as you can in whatever way gives you the highest joy. That’s your purpose. That’s your mission. Now, not to be confused with how you express your purpose. The idea of doing a specific thing is not your purpose; it’s the expression of your purpose of being yourself. So when you find something that is representative of your highest passion, your highest joy, as you say, your greatest bliss, that vibration is telling you: “This is what is most aligned at this moment with the purpose of being yourself as fully as you can.” So act on it. Follow it. Do it. The expression is just the expression and may change from moment to moment. Follow your excitement to the best of your ability, and if by doing that, you will always be aligned with the purpose and the mission to be yourself. How you express it from moment to moment, day to day, is really up to you, and that can actually change over time. So please do not get locked into the idea that if you’re excited to do one thing one day and then something else another day, that somehow you are confused about what your purpose is. Those are just expressions of your purpose, and they all fall under the same umbrella of simply being the fullest you you can be. Because only by being the fullest you you can be do you then provide to everyone else the greatest example of what they can also be too. Yes? You follow?

Asker: I follow.

Bashar: You see how it all works together? By being the self you need to be, by being the you you need to be as fully as you can, that’s how you assist others best. Because if you’re not being yourself, how can you help anyone? You follow me? That is the truth.

Asker: Thank you. Thank you. Does that answer your question?

Asker: Yes, very much. Thank you.

Bashar: Thank you. You see, it’s all actually very simple. The universe is very complex, but complex in terms of its richness. It is not complicated. Only you make it complicated. But it is actually very simple. And we understand that because of your history, one of the greatest difficulties humans have is believing that things are that simple. But that’s all right. You’re learning, and we are here to help and happy to help remind you—not teach you—because it’s not something that you don’t know. It’s something that you do know in your heart of hearts. So we are not here to tell you something you don’t know. We are here to remind you of what you already know so that you can awaken to what you already know and remember what you already know. Because all you did, in a sense, is create an experience of dismemberment. You compartmentalized, fragmented your consciousness. You gave yourself the experience of disconnection from the Source. It doesn’t mean you actually can be disconnected; that’s not possible. If you were truly able to disconnect from the Source, you wouldn’t exist. But you have created historically an experience of forgetfulness, an experience of disconnection that makes it seem as if you don’t know who you are. So this, what you now call on your planet your “New Age,” your “spiritual awakening,” your “Age of Consciousness,” is all about remembering who you are and no longer forgetting. That’s all it is. You’re not learning something you don’t already know; you’re just remembering what you chose to forget for a while.

“Simpler.” That’s a distinction you’re choosing to make. When someone says, “Well, yes, I understand it intellectually, but I don’t quite get it in my heart,” that’s the result of buying into belief systems that say there’s a difference. When you don’t make a difference, you’ll know that you get it everywhere at once, and you will feel that it is so. But understand: thoughts come from your feelings. Your feelings come from your beliefs.

You cannot feel one way or another about anything if you actually don’t believe something to be true. First, if you don’t have a belief about something, you cannot actually have an emotional experience about it. So if you have a feeling, that tells you you have a belief generating that feeling. So if you have a feeling you don’t prefer—I feel doubtful, I feel scared, I feel undeserving, I feel lost, I feel disconnected—that tells you you have a belief that is generating that feeling. So the feeling puts you in touch with the fact that you have a belief. Find out what that belief is and change it, and then you will change the resultant feeling. It’s that simple. Now, you don’t have to make it that simple. You can make it more complicated, and that’s your choice. It’s always your choice. And if you feel you need to make it that complicated and give yourself a process to change through, by all means, you are blessed to do so. We are not here to change your mind and change your beliefs. We are here to let you know there are other beliefs you could choose. But that’s up to you. You have free will. We know what works for us. We know what might work for you if you’re willing to use it. But you don’t have to. And in that sense, we don’t care if you do, because from our point of view, you are already powerful, unlimited Spiritual Beings, and whatever you choose to do in physical reality is up to you. It’s your game. It’s your lesson. It’s your choice. We will never interfere with that. But we will suggest other things that might make it easier if you’re willing to give it a shot. But it’s your choice.

Synchronicity and Inner Knowledge

Asker: I think that I don’t have to ask the question I was going to.

Bashar: Congratulations. Because you read my question already and you gave most of the answers. This will happen through synchronicity quite often in these interactions. Yet it’s my belief from what I’ve heard that answers and all knowledge is within ourselves if we unlock the doors and listen to our inner self.

Bashar: Every question that you ask tells you that the only reason you even have the ability to conceive of the question is that you must have the answer somewhere within your consciousness already, or you would never have been capable of actually even conceiving of the question. So all you need to do is take that curved little question mark and straighten it out into an exclamation point. It’ll come right to you, and you will know that you have the information within you.

Asker: Yes. I have another question, and this refers to something that happened 10 years ago. All right. There were 11 of us in downtown Upland—that witnessed a large thing, large UFO of some sort floating over the town, tacking as it were up towards Cajon Pass, which is the mountains up there. And we got no answers from anybody, including the people in Seattle. We have no answers whatsoever. Do you know what it was?

Bashar: It was a craft.

Asker: Well, that’s what we figured. Yes. Well, where was it from, may I ask?

Bashar: May I ask you a question first? All right. Do you have an international airport somewhere nearby?

Asker: Yes.

Bashar: What airport is that?

Asker: Ontario.

Bashar: There is a large aircraft taking off from that airport right now. Who’s on it? Where are they going?

Asker: I don’t know.

Bashar: Well, do you think we keep track of every single spacecraft?

Asker: Oh yes, we… yes, we don’t.

Bashar: Okay. There are many civilizations observing your planet at this time. I’m not saying we don’t know who they are. I’m just telling you we don’t know every single craft that makes it its business to observe your world. Okay?

Asker: Be that way. Thank you.

Bashar: However, what I can tell you about that particular craft is this: it is the same group involved in the sighting that has now been labeled the Phoenix Lights. And it is a group that belongs to a hybrid race of beings—not ours. The hybrid race of beings that will be the first extraterrestrial group your planet will actually have official open contact with. They first allow their ships to be seen at close range by large groups of people to gauge the reaction and see where you’re at and see if you’re ready for more. That’s who was involved with that sighting. They show themselves, see how you react, see how the information spreads or doesn’t, and that tells them a lot about how ready your planet is to assimilate contact.

Animal Communication and Following Joy

Asker: I am an animal communicator. I love working with the animals. Yes. How do you suggest I get this information out to the public to be of service?

Bashar: How do you want to get it out to the public? What would be your highest joy? What methodology? What idea? What expression represents your highest excitement?

Asker: Speaking in public about it.

Bashar: Does that excite you more than any other way? Doing the actual work?

Asker: I know you’re going to do the actual work, but you talked about sharing it with the public. So does speaking about it in public represent the most exciting way you can think of to dispense the information, to share the information? Or is there some other way that would be more exciting, or is there some other way that would be just as exciting that you can do simultaneously?

Asker: That’s why I need your help to clarify that for me.

Bashar: Well, I’m attempting to clarify it by asking these questions to help you understand that you already know, but you don’t believe that you know.

So if you imagine yourself speaking about it in public, what comes up? What feelings come up when you see yourself doing that? Can you see yourself doing that?

Asker: Yes.

Bashar: All right. When you see yourself doing that in your mind’s eye, when you visualize that, what feeling/feelings come up when you see yourself doing that?

Asker: Excitement.

Bashar: All right. Anything else? Any fear? No fear? No doubt? No hesitation? No? All right. Do you see yourself doing it in a particular kind of place?

Asker: Auditorium.

Bashar: Is that a question?

Asker: Well, I’m seeing an auditorium.

Bashar: All right. Does that feel exciting?

Asker: Yes.

Bashar: All right. Then here is what you do: anytime that you have a visualization in your mind’s eye, in your imagination, that represents the thing you say you would find most exciting, look at that person, look at that version of you in that picture. Is she behaving differently than you behave on a day-to-day basis?

Asker: I don’t believe so.

Bashar: All right. Are you acting like her in thought, word, and deed?

Asker: Yes.

Bashar: All right. Then when will you advertise such a talk?

Asker: I guess I’ll start that now.

Bashar: You guess? I thought you said this was your highest passion.

Asker: Yes. I will start that now. Thank you.

Bashar: Because you see, if you don’t, you’re not behaving like she would. You follow me?

Asker: Yes.

Bashar: The reason you have the pictures in your mind—this comes from your higher self. That’s what imagination is for. Imagination is the communication link between your higher self and your physical mind. The pictures that come that represent you doing the thing that excites you the most mirror that person. Mimic that person. Behave like that version of you that you see in that picture, and you will have her or his reality. But if you’re not doing the things she would do—because if she gives talks and that’s what excites her, and she is going to advertise those talks, isn’t she?

Asker: Yes.

Bashar: Well, then if you’re not doing that, you’re not being her. And if you’re not being her, you can’t have her reality. Got it? Remember the TV analogy: you only get the program you’re tuned to, the frequency of. Got it? So if you’re not behaving in thought, word, and deed, in body language, every single bit as you see her behaving and doing all the things she would do the way she would do them—even if you see her grocery shopping, shop the way she would shop—be her, you will have her reality reflected to you.

Feeling Alien / Universe Inside

Asker: From the time I was a little girl, um, I would close my eyes and I would see the universe inside me.

Bashar: Yes. The universe inside you.

Asker: Yes. I’ve always wondered if I were a human…

Bashar: Of course you are. But you also connected to many other things.

Asker: Okay. Yeah. I just haven’t felt comfortable with my life on this plane.

Bashar: And I understand that many of you are having a similar sensation now in your Age of Awakening. But the idea is not to assume that you, as a human, come from somewhere else. As a spirit, you’re everywhere. As a consciousness, you’re everywhere. You’re connected to everything. So of course, when you awaken, you’re going to suddenly feel some of those connections. It doesn’t mean that you come from somewhere else. You chose to be human. But the idea of becoming aware of the fact that you have other connections going on simultaneously means you can draw upon those other connections and bring that energy down to earth to create the reality on Earth that you prefer to create. You follow me?

Asker: Yes.

Bashar: But at first, I understand, because of the way humans tend to think of themselves, it may at first feel like an alienating process—no pun intended. You may at first feel like you don’t belong on Earth. But you do, because you chose to be on Earth. Look here you are. Because that was the product of a choice. It’s always the product of a choice. You follow me?

Asker: Yes, absolutely.

Bashar: But now you’re remembering that you are also, as a consciousness, in a lot of other dimensions simultaneously. So you’re awakening to that, drawing on that. Use it however you wish. Use it how it excites you. That’s the point. Okay? Bring it down to earth.

Relying on Others for Change

Asker: I have a question on how you expedite change when you’re relying on somebody else to help you make that change or help you to reach a goal.

Bashar: The simple answer to your question is: you don’t rely on anyone else to make the change you want to make within yourself.

Asker: Well, it’s not really within myself.

Bashar: Yes, it is. I know you think it’s external, but it’s not. Remember, there is no external reality. That’s an illusion. Anything that changes, quote-unquote, “out there” only changes because you change in “here.” That’s the only way anything out there can change. So if you relax your expectations, relax your belief system about what you have been taught to think is supposed to be the way it’s got to happen, then you can actually allow it to happen the way it actually can occur with whomever else it needs to occur.

The idea is to simply be the state of being of the reality you prefer and allow—not make—allow the outer reality to bring to you whatever components actually are representative of that change, even if it’s not with whom you think it’s supposed to be.

So you need to relax the idea of the components you think are necessary for the change to take place and allow your higher mind to actually show you what components are actually necessary and which ones are not. Here’s the key to understand: Physical mind does not have—and I mean literally does not have—the capability of understanding how something will happen. Physical mind only has the capability of understanding how something did happen. Higher mind has the capability of understanding how something will happen. So when physical mind thinks it’s got to arrange things to make something happen in a way it thinks best, it’s actually doing the job of the higher mind, and it’s not designed to function like that. So when you have a particular overall vision of something, use it as a general picture to generate the energy, the state of being that you prefer, but let the higher mind show you what the actual circumstances need to be as a reflection for that to manifest. Don’t insist that you think you know who it’s supposed to be with, whom, where it’s supposed to happen, how it’s supposed to happen, when it’s supposed to happen. Let the higher mind bring that to you because that’s what it’s designed to do.

Bashar: Does this help relax the idea that you’re going through…?

Asker: It helps to understand, but I still feel the impatience.

Bashar: But here’s the key. You see, because the only reason any of you feel impatience is because you think you need patience. And you don’t. You will never feel impatient if you don’t believe you need patience. You don’t need patience. Why? I’ll tell you. Thank you. You don’t need patience because if you simply generate the state of being within yourself at every given moment that you prefer, where else do you want to be but here and now? The only reason you have impatience is because you think you need patience to wait to get to somewhere else you think is going to be better than where you are. When you are simply where you are as fully as you can be, loving every minute of it, because you’re defining everything that’s going on as a part of your joy and not an interruption in it, then you will use everything that’s going on to your advantage, and you won’t care if you’re anywhere else. You will just be here, be now, use it fully. And the paradox is, when you use what is right here, right now, as fully as you can, it will change to something else quicker than insisting that it change—which means it never will. Because when you’re focused on the idea that something isn’t changing, what are you telling it to do? Not change. Because you’re focused on the fact it isn’t changing, and that’s what it’s getting from you: no change, no change, no change, stay the same. When you use it because you’re grateful and appreciative that it is there for you to use in a positive way to become more of who you are, you will be overjoyed at everything that’s happened in your life right now. You’ll use it to your advantage, and when you use it, it has no reason to stick around. It will become something else because that which you’ve already used has no reason to stay. The only reason things stay the same is because you’re not using them in a way you could be using them.

Here’s the bottom line: Circumstances don’t matter. Only your state of being matters. I’ll say it again: Circumstances don’t matter. Only your state of being matters. Circumstances do not create state of being. State of being creates circumstances. Your circumstances don’t matter. Only your state of being determines what you will get out of the circumstances that exist. Positive meaning in, positive effect out. Negative meaning in, negative effect out. These things don’t belong in my life—they have no business being here. I understand that you can say you don’t prefer something, but that’s not a judgmental point of view; that’s just an observation. But when you have fear behind the fact that something’s not changing, it’s a judgment that makes it stick around because you’re empowering it as if it had the ability to make up its mind to stick around without you choosing it to do so, which it doesn’t have.

So the idea is that once you accept, acknowledge, and own everything that’s happening in your life—because you cannot change what you do not own—then it will change as you use it. If you use everything in a positive way, put positive meaning into everything that’s going on, that no matter what anyone else’s intention might be in the circumstance, you, by putting positive meaning into it, will only get a positive effect out of it, regardless of what anyone else gets. Because the greatest gift creation has given all of you—I know this is going to sound funny in your language—but the greatest gift creation has given all of you is that life is basically meaningless. There is no built-in meaning to the situations and circumstances in your life. You have been given the free will to assign meaning to the circumstances, and the meaning you assign, whether consciously or unconsciously, will determine the effect you get out of those circumstances. So positive meaning in, positive effect out. Negative meaning in, negative effect out. This is simply the Third Law of Creation: What you put out is what you get back. That’s all there is to this.

So the more you identify and define your state of being as it is now as the state of being you prefer it to be, the more reality can reflect that vibration to you. But if you need reality to reflect it to you, you’re getting it backwards. Because you are the sole determiner of what state of being you exist in at any given moment, regardless of what’s going on around you. And the true test—the true test of whether you have actually changed or not—is not whether the outer reality has changed to reflect the change you think you have made, but whether you respond differently to the outer reality even if it still looks the same. That’s how you know you’ve actually changed.

Asker: My background’s been in broadcasting. It hasn’t… well, it either went away for a variety of reasons or it was supposed to. Now I’m involved in like facilitating a spiritual group, and I thoroughly enjoy that.

I’m not sure, in my case again, looking for the clarity of it, if I’m supposed to do a combination of the two like Daryl does, or take, say, the voice things I did like in radio and devote them totally to the spiritual thing. I’m kind of getting what you were saying earlier, but clarity is not totally there.

Bashar: The idea of following your joy is more precisely and specifically spelled out like this: Stay in the state of being you prefer. Stay in a state of joy, a state of excitement. Generate it every moment as best you can. Act. Act to the best of your ability on whatever situation or circumstance pops up that represents, at that moment, the most exciting thing you can think of to act on that you have the greatest degree of ability to take action on. If you don’t have the ability to take action on something, then your excitement is telling you that, at that moment, you don’t need to. You follow me?

Asker: Yes. And today, the most exciting thing for me to do was to help stage this event and have you be here. All right.

Bashar: Thank you very much. So in the very next moment after this one is done, when you look around at all the options available to you of things that could excite you, all you have to do every single moment is act on the thing that excites you the most out of all the options available to you that you have the highest degree of ability to take action on. That’s all you need to do. No matter what it is. Whatever excites you the most that you have the greatest ability to act on, act on it. The next moment, whatever excites you the most you have the greatest degree of ability to act on, act on it. Because excitement is the thread that leads to all other excitement and attracts to you all circumstances for you to act on to allow your excitement to continue to grow and expand. And if circumstances don’t come that you think ought to, then if you’re truly following your excitement and those circumstances don’t show up for you to act on, your excitement is telling you that right now you don’t need to act on them. And you have to trust that.

Time, Space, and “Slippery” Reality

Asker: is time becoming a little slippery? Because I lost time the other day.

Bashar: Oh, where did it go?

Asker: It ended. I ended up somewhere that I don’t even know how I… it’s becoming slippery.

Bashar: Yes, that’s slippery.

You create the experience of space and time with your consciousness. It doesn’t exist empirically. It’s simply one of the definitions of the physical reality experience. And physical reality is an illusion, so it only takes its cue from your definitions of it. And as you awaken into more of your consciousness and connect to those parts that are in a sense above space and time, so to speak, then some of that will leak down into your physical experience as well, and you will have malleable, flexible, plastic experiences with both space and time more and more and more. Because you’re creating it. So there will be times when you won’t create it, and you will simply have what you may call a “jumping” experience. Yes. So the idea is that this will become a common symptom of the Awakening of Consciousness: that time and space will become more flexible, will become less solid, less rigidly structured. This is a common symptom of the Awakening of Consciousness.

Asker: So is that my message? I’m Awakening? Or what is?

Bashar: Yes. Again, look at it literally. When you do something you love to do and you look up and go, “Oh, where did the time go?” or “I’ve lost time,” or “I didn’t experience the passage of time,” it’s because you weren’t creating time. So when you do something you really love to do, you become so involved in it that to you it feels like, oh, let’s say for example, half an hour has passed. But then you look up around you and everyone says, “Oh no, it’s been 5 hours.” They have aged five hours. You have only aged half an hour.

Asker: Ooh. I like that.

Bashar: That’s why doing what you love makes you live longer. Because you don’t create as much time. You literally age less.

Asker: But what happens if, in this space that you’re creating… like I lived a half an hour, but I ended up somewhere where I didn’t really want to be? Because space and time are flexible and malleable.

Bashar: And you did want to be there, or you would have wound up somewhere else.

Asker: Will I figure out why I ended up there someday?

Bashar: What is it you are puzzled about with respect to where you wound up?

Asker: I don’t understand the message. Why… why do you think there is any more of a message other than space and time are at your beck and call?

Asker: Oh, okay. I get you. Thank you.

Bashar: Thank you. My goodness. That’s not enough of a message, I guess. I have just traveled and malleable and flexed space and time. I wonder if there’s a message. Message. Okay. Thank you for making me laugh. Let it be obvious. Let it be obvious.

Asker: Can I just ask one thing really quick?

Bashar: I suppose you can, since you just did.

Asker: Okay. I’m laughing so hard I’m hot now.

Bashar: That’s good. Because laughter keeps you in the present, and I’m getting younger by the second.

Asker: You are. Um, is there an entity that has passed on that’s here, that was in my life, that’s here to tell me something? I feel it. Do you?

Bashar: Oh no. Here we go. Are you living your joy?

Asker: I’m having a good time right now.

Bashar: Thank you. In general, in life?

Asker: Yes. I have felt very joyous lately.

Bashar: Is there something that you have always dreamed of doing that you are hesitating to do?

Asker: Yes.

Bashar: What?

Asker: Be a great service to others.

Bashar: In what way?

Asker: To provide my time to help people.

Bashar: In what way?

Asker: Well, I’m lost for words. I mean, maybe just…

Bashar: Oh, you’ve lost time and words. [Laughter] When I asked you if there was something you wanted to do that you hesitated to do, you immediately said yes. You must have had some particular picture of what that would be like.

Asker: This is huge. I look at the world and I see people starving. I see people just needing help in many ways.

Bashar: So are you feeling overwhelmed?

Asker: Maybe. Yes. Because I don’t have an answer on how to help.

Bashar: Do you think you don’t make a difference because you’re just one person, and so you are hesitant to start doing anything because you don’t think that will make a difference?

Asker: No. I think I have done things. I want to do it on a bigger scale.

Bashar: Is that a wrong way to think? No. The idea is to simply do it however you wish to do it, but do it without making all sorts of assumptions as to what effect you think it’s supposed to have. Do it because that’s who you are. You see, humans on your planet get all mixed up in their definitions of impact. You think you have to have a certain kind of impact before you will do something. You have to know it’s going to have a certain kind of impact, or it’s not worth doing. I will tell you a secret about impact: All of you already have 100% of the impact you will ever have on your entire planet just by existing on it. You can never have more impact than you have right now. Ever. Because you already have 100% impact right now. When you decide to do something, to follow your joy, to express yourself outwardly, to be of assistance, you are actually not creating impact. You are revealing, feeling the impact you already have. You see the difference?

Asker: Yes, I do.

Bashar: So you don’t have to do anything special to create impact. All you have to do is follow your joy to reveal the impact you already have just by the fact of your existence. That’s all you have to do. So there’s no reason to not act on your joy because it’s not going to change the impact you already have. It will just reveal more of it.

Asker: That’s wonderful. Does that help you?

Asker: I like that. Is there anything else I need to know, or should I pass this on?

Bashar: Again, I will only ask: Is there some specific way you feel driven to express your joy? Some specific activity? Some specific expression?

Asker: I just see myself doing it with a group of people, or a lot of people. Helping other people.

Bashar: Helping them in what way? Physically? Specifically, what are you actually seeing yourself physically doing?

Asker: Providing shelter for people. Providing food.

Bashar: All right. Thank you. But I don’t know. Those are the things that come to my mind.

Bashar: Well, if they excite you, go do them to whatever capacity you’re capable. Okay? You follow?

Asker: Yes.

Bashar: It’s as simple as that. Okay. Do them to whatever capacity you’re capable. Remember what we said: the full definition of following your excitement was: act on the thing that is most exciting that you have the greatest degree of ability to take action on. Just because you may not be able to build a 500-story hotel for the homeless doesn’t mean you can’t help one person find a home. You follow me?

Asker: I do understand that. But is there a “but” in there? I’m sorry, I don’t want to take up all this time.

Bashar: Yeah, my “but” is… if we’re capable of doing…

Asker: Moment. One moment. I thought we agreed that time was an illusion. So what time are you taking up?

Asker: Okay, I got you. Thank you. Have fun. If we’re capable of doing… from what I take it, anything?

Bashar: Yes.

Asker: Why can’t I build the big hotel?

Bashar: Ah, very good question. Why can’t you? There is no reason why you can’t other than the reasons you may invent.

Asker: Okay. All right. Yes. Thank you very much.

Bashar: Now you have hit the message squarely on the head. I appreciate it.
