Death

Death and the Spirit Realm

Asker: I have some questions regarding our spirit when we pass over out of our physical body. My understanding is that we are surrounded by those who have already died.

Bashar: Often. Not always immediately, depending upon what belief systems you brought with you into the experience. Because there are individuals who might believe that there will be nothing there for them, that they won’t survive, and so they may immediately get an experience of their strongest belief. Doesn’t mean those individuals aren’t there, but you may not perceive them if your belief system is strong enough to prevent you from doing so. Do you?

Asker: Yes.

Bashar: Do you create in your belief system that you have here and now, that we have as humans here and now?

Asker: Yes.

Bashar: Do we create our concept of the reality that we have if there is an “over there” over there?

Asker: Yes.

Bashar: And you may experience that initially upon your arrival. It doesn’t mean it will last. Because if it comes from the physical side, it may not have the same degree of energetic consistency of what is created from the Spirit side. But you may create it strongly enough from the physical side to experience it at least temporarily upon your arrival. Eventually, it will dissolve, whether quickly or slowly, depending on how willing you are to let go of it.

Asker: And then what is it? Once that idea of our reality dissolves, what is that “over there”? If you can elaborate on that.

Bashar: It is a timeless, spaceless dimension of spirit and energy and light that can manifest itself in any form you immediately wish it to. There’s no space and time lag. You’re still creating reality there, but you’re creating it instantaneously without any time lag or space requirements. You understand?

Asker: Yes.

Bashar: You’re doing the same thing in physical reality, but you’re doing it through the experience of time and space. So you’re experiencing the process of the creation in physical reality. In Spirit reality, you simply experience instantaneous manifestation with no time lag. Whatever you believe most strongly, whatever you wish to see most strongly, whatever you wish to experience most strongly, you experience immediately in Spirit. No matter what it is. You can recreate the house you had in physical reality. You can create a whole other reality that never existed on Earth. You can go to other dimensions. You can do whatever you wish. Space and time there are not limiting factors. Does that make sense?

Asker: Yes.

Bashar: So what you just said, as far as creating the house that you live in now, if you wish, and it could be there for a moment, and then you could redesign a whole other instantaneously, and another one, and another one instantaneously if that gives you pleasure. Or you can allow it to remain as long as you wish it to remain. Or you can alter little things about it. You can change the environment around the house. You can do anything you wish. You can have purple sunsets that are square every night if you wish. It’s up to you. There is literally no limit on that level to what your imagination can create.

Asker: And what of the other people who have died before us? What about sharing? Is there a sharing of that energy, of that spirit, that love?

Bashar: Can be. And the key word is exactly that: sharing. It’s the same thing you do in physical reality. Understand, there is no way that any of you will agree to experience the same reality unless you agree to experience the same reality. Because all of you are a different reality. So the only reason you have a consensus or common experience at all is because you agree to have one. It’s the same on the Spirit level, but it happens quicker. People can agree to share that reality experience with you that you’ve created, or they can experience something completely different. It just depends on what you agree to share. Okay? Does that make sense?

Asker: Yes, it does. Is this illuminating the situation, or is it only adding more confusion?

Asker: I believe for myself that it has always been my idea, yes. And you have just kind of added to that.

Bashar: All right. If you wish, there are two books that exist on your planet, if you are not aware of them, called Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls, that quite clearly delineate what happens in the spirit realm. Because it is derived from hypnotherapeutic sessions of people who are allowed to remember what it is like in the spirit world before they chose to come to Earth. They are relatively accurate, these books. So if you wish to upgrade your understanding of all the different kinds of experiences that can be had in the spirit realm, then by all means avail yourself of those books: Journey of Souls, Destiny of Souls.

Asker: All right. Thank you.

Bashar: I’d also heard it said there’s a motion picture that was made a few years ago called What Dreams May Come that visually…

Bashar: That was a relatively close… It is relatively close visually. There are some assumptions in it that don’t necessarily have to go the way that they took the story, but generally speaking, yes, it is a relatively accurate representation of what is possible in the spirit realm.

Out of Body Experiences and Healing Energy

Asker: When I go to sleep at night, guys, I wake up and I wake up ready to go to school, but I’m very tired. And I’ve been told that I go… I come out of my soul, my spirit comes out of my body, and I have an Out of Body Experience.

Bashar: Yes. That has happened for many people on your Earth. It’s very common.

Asker: Yes. I wondered where… what specific places do I go?

Bashar: Oh, many different places. The most common place most of you will go when you go out of your body—now, this does not mean every dream is representative of a spirit journey, but a lot of them are—but a lot of them, you will go into the spirit realm, back to your soul family, group, friends, and family that you know in Spirit. And many times you will have experiences with them. You may attend a kind of class. You may learn different things on that level that you will bring back into your physical reality to experience. You may go exploring with them in other dimensions. There are many different kinds of things you can choose to do on that level with your friends and family that may still be in Spirit. You understand?

Asker: Yes, I do. Does that answer your question, or do you want to explore more about this?

Asker: I have another question. Oh, all right. Um, there was one night I woke up and my hands, they were very hot and burning. Yes. And my skin was peeling. Yes. And couldn’t pick up certain things ‘cause they were burned.

Bashar: I don’t… All right. All right. This can happen sometimes when what is called a dimensional shift is happening, or higher frequency energy is passing through your body that your body hasn’t gotten used to yet. It can create a little bit of resistance because your body’s not used to it, and that energy resistance can translate as heat. Many people who have the ability to be healers can transfer this kind of energy through their body and specifically through their hands. And because it’s a higher frequency energy than you’re used to, it may feel a little bit hot or a little uncomfortable until you get used to it. But it’s simply energy that is training your body to get used to higher frequencies. Eventually, you’ll get used to it. Eventually, it will cool down to some degree, although it may heat up when you choose to use it. But you’ll get used to it in such a way that it will not be harmful, and in that sense, you’ll apply it to many things in life.

Guiding Children (New Species)

Asker: Jasmine just spoke. She is my child.

Bashar: Here on Earth. Another flower. Yes. And do understand that many of the children that are being born on your planet now, and that have been born within the last decade or so, are not just a new generation. They are a new species.

Asker: I got that. And I’m getting that very much so.

Bashar: They are not forgetting as much as the generation before them. They are more in touch with Spirit. There are fewer barriers between physical and non-physical reality for them. Because they must upgrade their vibration and upgrade their energy in order to participate in the world to come. Wow. Many of you are already very upgraded, but you don’t know it because you’re used to the vibration you exist on now. But if there were to be a person who were to be visiting your world, a time traveler from 300 years ago, and they were to come to your present day and age, if they were to do that, they would see your bodies as glowing with light because the frequency of your present reality is so much higher than it was 300 years ago. But you don’t notice it because you’re used to it. But they would notice.

Asker: how may I guide this child by being as loving and creative and imaginative and inventive as you possibly can be now?

Bashar: Do you not understand that this is the product of an agreement?

Asker: I do understand.

Bashar: This is a product of a… then all you need to do is be yourself. Because to whom else did she agree to be born?

Asker: To me. She chose me.

Bashar: So all you have to do is be yourself. And what does that mean? Follow your joy. Thank. Be imaginative, creative, loving. Be yourself as best as you can so that you will fulfill your purpose and fulfill the agreement. That’s all you have to do. It’s that simple if you want it to be.

Asker: Yes. You want it to be more complicated, it can be.

Asker: No. I want to stop making things complicated in my life. I’m really tired of it.

Bashar: I know. Because it’s very tiring when you carry baggage around that doesn’t belong to you. Definitely let go of the baggage, which is the belief systems and definitions that your parents may have given you that aren’t yours, so that you won’t pass baggage along to her.

Asker: Thank you. That isn’t hers.

Bashar: All right. Yes. Thank you. It’s all right to let that go. Letting that baggage go doesn’t mean you don’t love your parents or honor them.

Disconnect from that belief attachment. At heart, in their soul, no matter what kind of a physical upbringing any of you had, no matter what limitations the physical consciousness had placed upon it, and what attributes the parents may have been incapable of showing, in their hearts and in their souls, all parents love you unconditionally and would want you to be yourself. Guaranteed. So let go of anything that’s not yours. It’s wearing you out. Let it go. It doesn’t belong to you. You have absolutely no reason but your own to keep lugging it around.

Healers and Tools as Permission Slips

Asker: Am I a healer?

Bashar: Not if you ask the question. Are you a healer?

Asker: Yes.

Bashar: Then you’re a healer.

Asker: Okay.

Bashar: How do you want to express it?

Asker: By reminding others who they are. I’ve been a Rapid Eye Technician, and I have an eye-directing device, and through this I’ve learned how to… work with others.

Bashar: Does that still give you the highest joy to do it that way?

Asker: So far, yes.

Bashar: Your slight hesitation means…

Asker: Maybe because I want to learn. I feel that’s fine.

Bashar: That’s fine. Well, obviously you’re open to receiving more information and to learn. So you trust that your life is going to give you that added information?

Asker: Yes. Yes, I do.

Bashar: Well, then okay. Now, please understand: you, and all of you, with regard to this idea of technique, tool, ritual—it doesn’t matter what technique, tool, or ritual you use. It doesn’t matter. Why? I’ll tell you. Thank you. Because all tools, all techniques, all rituals are nothing more than permission slips that you give yourself to be more of who you are. Any technique or tool you are attracted to, you are attracted to because it’s simply reflective of the belief system within you that exists at that moment. And by attracting yourself to that particular technique, tool, or ritual, what you’re doing is you are harmonizing with a particular tool that gives you that allows you to give yourself permission to be who you are based on your present belief systems. So all tools are nothing but permission slips that you give yourself to be more of who you are. It’s not coming from the technique; it’s coming from you. So no matter what way you wind up doing it, it’s up to you. Because it’s nothing but a permission slip to allow you to give yourself permission to be more of who you are. However you wish to do that is completely in your hands. Make sense?

Asker: That makes sense. That makes it a lot more simple.

Bashar: Oh, I’m sorry. Simple is good.

Asker: All right. Thank you. Yeah. One question in energy working. Uh, I noticed that you do feel a lot of heat, as she was saying over there. Now I had an incident when I was working with a client, but I felt freezing cold. Yes. What is that?

Bashar: Well, it can be many things. Many times there may be different kinds of applications of energy that will require you to shift dimensions in such a way that you have to go into a state of stasis momentarily in order to make sure that you shift completely so that your energy doesn’t get scattered. So it’s like turning yourself into an ice cube and then remelting yourself in order to make the transition. You have to become more solid, in a sense, more, shall we say, in stasis, more crystallized in order to make the shift, and then you can expand again so that you will not scatter your energy. So sometimes the freezing is an indication that you’re actually shifting dimensionalities.

Job Loss and Predicting the Future

Asker: my boyfriend Ken works for the Sunkist plant in Ontario, which is closing down. Do you know how much longer he will be working there?

Bashar: I do not. There’s no such thing as a prediction of the future.

Can you give any suggestions that would help in this situation?

Bashar: Follow his excitement. That’s the only answer I can give that will give a guaranteed result. Do you understand what I mean when I say there’s no such thing as a prediction of the future?

Asker: Yes. Because it’s variable.

Bashar: There are an infinite number of probable future realities. When someone actually makes a prediction, they are actually not predicting the future. They are sensing the energy that exists in the present. If that energy doesn’t change, that thing will come to pass. But if it does change, it won’t. So should he follow his strongest feeling in the sense of what he feels most comfortable with doing?

Bashar: Using the word “comfortable” may be misleading because many people will make themselves comfortable by not following their highest joy. So I would be cautious about using the word “comfortable.”

Asker: So how would you explain it then?

Bashar: The idea, if he is willing to receive it, from our point of view is this: Everyone is unique. That uniqueness is accompanied by a particular, shall we say, energy signature. That energy signature represents your core, true self.

Bashar: So what is excitement? What is bliss? What is passion?

That physical sensation is the body’s physical translation of the core vibration of your true, natural self. So anytime you act on something that excites you the most, you are in most harmonious alignment with your true, natural signature frequency. Which means it’s like following the compass needle due North. This is you. This is who you are. Stay on that frequency. Stay on that path, and you will always be doing what is most truly you. And when you do that, the agreement from Creation is: when you do that, the only reflection you can possibly then get are the things that are reflective of that vibrational state. So if you want to attract a reality that is most reflective of the vibrational state of your true, natural self—which means you’re in most harmonious alignment with Creation, thus it can support you in that way, in that frequency—then always act on your highest joy and don’t do anything else. Because when you choose to do something that is not what you are, then what you are doing is using your agreement with Creation to say, “I want you to support me in a vibration that is not who I prefer to be.” And the only choice Creation has is to say, “Okay.”

Asker: So that would be safer to follow that in regards to more money?

Bashar: It’s not an issue of safety. And if you look at it that way, you are actually saying you want the universe to create you, in that sense, and continue you in that sense, and support you in that sense, in a reality in which your primary concern is one of safety.

If you understand—and we are going to be talking about this at an upcoming public event more thoroughly—if you understand how Creation is structured, and you understand how Creation always supports you, what we are telling you when we tell you to follow your joy is not an issue of faith. It’s an issue of absolute knowledge. It’s beyond belief, beyond faith, beyond hope. It’s knowing what your relationship to Creation is. It’s very different than believing, hoping, or having faith that it will support you. It’s understanding the structure to the degree where you know it can do nothing but support you. Because that’s how it’s designed. As I said, we will be speaking about this in depth and at length in an upcoming public session in November of your time.

Shadows and Barriers

Bashar: I have a question about some shadows of beings that I’ve been seeing. Shadows of beings that are downright annoying.. it’s not making sense to me. It just… different times. Not when I’m engaged in anything special. Not when I’m in meditation. I’ll be driving. I’ll be doing dishes.

Bashar: Those are meditative states too, you know.

Asker: Not too much when I’m driving.

Bashar: Although many people can go on automatic when they drive.

Asker: Yes, they do. But I used to have an energy that I would see. I lived up in the mountains, and I would be driving up, and it’s pitch black without other than my headlights. Yes. And there was this energy that filled my car to the point that I would turn around to see who had their bright lights on behind me. Yes. And there was no one there.

Bashar: Why is this annoying?

Asker: No, that I liked.

Bashar: Oh, all right. That I… and I got used to it, and I kind of missed that. But these are like glimpses, and I don’t know what purpose they have for being there.

Bashar: As we have said before to another, the idea is that time and space are becoming more plastic, more malleable, less limiting. You are being able now, in this Age of Awakening, to extend your senses into domains and dimensions of frequencies of the spirit realm that heretofore were invisible to you. You are beginning to extend your senses and get glimpses of other consciousnesses in other dimensions. Sooner or later, it will become more consistent. But at first, it may seem a little bit sporadic. It’s like building the first radio on your planet and only being able to get scratchy reception. But eventually, as you improve the technology, so to speak, the voices will come in clearer and clearer and clearer, and last longer and longer and longer. That’s all that’s going on with your consciousness as you’re extending it into other dimensions, and you’re learning, in that sense, how to receive and how to maintain connection to those extended experiences. Because it’s part and parcel of the process of the expansion of your consciousness to contain and include more perception of more of reality.

Asker: Because I’m not feeling guided or any message or any…

Bashar: Well, it’s not specifically for that kind of experience. What I’m simply saying is: Well, you had a person on your planet that went by the name of Marshall McLuhan who had a catchphrase: “The medium is the message.” In other words, what’s happening is the message itself. There’s no additional message. The actual experience is telling you something. It’s telling you that your senses and your awareness and your consciousness are beginning to go beyond the limit of physical reality. The more you begin to enjoy this, the more you assign a positive vibration to this, the more you’ll get out of it eventually. But for a while, it may simply be that you’re getting used to the idea of perceiving in other realities. So for a while, you may simply get glimpses. It’s just how you get used to things in physical reality. It’s like having training wheels. Eventually, you’ll be able to ride the bike without them. But for now, you get little glimpses. That, in and of itself, tells you something about how your consciousness is changing.

Asker: But when I’m in what I consider a conscious, deep state of meditation, yes, I’m not feeling anybody else there. In fact, sometimes I feel very detached and not able to go as deep into meditation.

Bashar: Maybe that’s not the technique that actually works best for you. And maybe that’s another thing that you’re being shown: if you don’t, in that sense, make a special state out of it, but just get on with living your life and doing the things that you enjoy, that may be telling you that that’s actually the best state in which to actually contact other beings beyond your realm.

Asker: I feel, in my professional life, that I’m being guided, uh, sometimes pushed and nudged into something, but I don’t know where it is that I’m supposed to go.

Bashar: Does it matter as long as it’s exciting?

Asker: It doesn’t feel exciting.

Bashar: Then maybe you should do something that is.

Asker: I understand what you were saying. It’s like there’s a final barrier that I need to let go of, get through, underground, or whatever. Yes. And I’ve been working on that.

Bashar: Stop. The final barrier you need to get through is the idea that there’s a barrier. There isn’t. You just think there is. Your belief systems are allowing you to experience the idea that there’s a barrier you have to get through. Everything you have just said to us in this conversation implies that you think there is some kind of barrier you have to break through. What you’re being shown by these experiences is that the veil is thinner than you think. And if you just get on about your life doing what excites you, that would actually be the best way to see that, to experience that, instead of thinking you have to do something special to break through that so-called barrier, which doesn’t really exist except in your beliefs. Does that make sense?

Asker: Yes, it does.

Bashar: Does that help? Can you relax your definitions so that you yourself aren’t creating the barrier that you think is coming from outside you, but is actually coming from within?

Asker: Oh, I know it’s coming from within.

Bashar: Then let it go. Why do you need it? It may only be that you’re assuming there is one. There may be nothing else to it. It could be that tissue-paper thin.

Asker: I believe it is.

Bashar: Well, then stop believing there is one. Okay? There isn’t one. There is no barrier. There are no limitations other than the ones that serve you in a positive way. When you approach life that way, you won’t have to do anything special to get rid of it because it’s already gone. You can just get about doing what you wish to do in the way you wish to do it that’s most exciting. And in doing that, you will see other things in other realms, and you will know you are in contact. It may not always be the way your mind thinks it should be. So relax your expectations about how you think it’s supposed to happen. They know what they’re doing. Trust that. Okay? Because this is by agreement. And you may not remember what the agreement is, but they may have not forgotten. And all you have to do to remember is simply live your life in the fullest way you can. And when you need to remember, you will.

Bashar: When you go to sleep tonight, if you wish, simply relax. Don’t go into a meditation. Just relax. And just be willing to let go of any idea that you may be holding on to that there is such a thing as a barrier. Just be willing to let go of the idea that there’s a barrier, and then see what happens.

Pleiadian Energy and Laziness

Asker: There were 3 beings that I feel very strongly connected to. They were clad with iridescent greenish, lapis blue color garments.

Tall beings. I couldn’t see whose faces I couldn’t see because they were so tall, and I have 16-foot ceilings in my bedroom. They were there. And up to just a few weeks ago, I really haven’t had an inkling to ask as to where they came to visit me.

Bashar: They are not actually that tall. But from the idea of coming from another higher vibrational plane, your physical mind will translate sometimes a higher vibration as something in physical reality that is bigger than you. They are not actually physically bigger than you. How tall are you?

Asker: 5'5".

Bashar: They’re about the same size. Okay. This is a connection to what you might call Pleiadian energy.

Asker: I’ll enrich my understanding of life, my present experience right now. How to empower myself to help as many people as I can. By sharing the love and light that I feel inside me.

Bashar: How? Through thoughts, words, and deeds of praise and affirmations of positive thoughts and evoking those thoughts into emotions so they can too get excited and move into their highest and best good.

Bashar: What about writing?

Asker: I’d love to do that.

Bashar: Why aren’t you?

Asker: Because I’m being lazy right now.

Bashar: I see. Thank you for your honesty.

Bashar: where does laziness come from?

Asker: Everyday mundane responsibilities to my immediate family.

Bashar: “Mundane” is a definition. Okay. Well, delete that.

Asker: Okay. I just threw it out. Deleted.

Bashar: Okay. I remember: yes, there are no boring situations, just bored minds.

Bashar: So then write.

Asker: You bet. Not because I’m telling you, because you’re telling you.

December 21, 2012

Asker: There’s a lot being said about December 21st, 2012.

Bashar: Stop. It represents several things, and we will not go into all of them here.

Generally, the date intuitively represents is the leading edge of the collective consciousness of your entire planet crossing a threshold.

So that after that date, the idea of the amount of positive energy compared to the amount of negative energy has tipped the scales toward the positive side.

Understand, it does not mean you will not see negative actions after that date. It doesn’t take as many people acting positively to outbalance the negative energy of millions. So there may still only be a few in number doing a positive energy thing, but that will have reached a critical mass threshold where those few positives will finally energetically outweigh the negatives to give the rest of the world an opportunity to choose the positive if they so desire.

Number two: For a long time, different extraterrestrial civilizations have had what you may call a “prime directive,” in your science fiction lingo, or “hands-off policy” on civilizations that are not ready for contact. 2012 represents the end of a quarantine. After that date, it doesn’t mean there will be ships landing everywhere. Don’t go out and say Bashar said that, because I did not. What it means is that after that date, ships could land everywhere. But now it’s squarely in your hands as to whether we do or not. No longer will the hands-off policy come in as a factor because the quarantine will end that year. So now it will be solely up to you all to determine at what rate you are ready for true, open contact. That is two of the things.
