The Manifestation Space

Reincarnation, Matrix, and Soul Contracts

Asker: I do understand this is a 3D virtual reality and we’re actually in a secondary matrix that exists for our use as a soul-based entity. Yes. Sort of a soul cage that we get to do these… I’ve been told from various sources that the reincarnation process has come to a shutdown and is not happening anymore.

Bashar: There’s no such thing as reincarnation because that’s an illusion of the space-time framework since everything exists all at once, right?

All lives exist at the same time. Some of them just in a vibrational framework you call the past. But you are making connections to those other people, those other lives that exist simultaneously with you. You’re making those energetic and informational connections from the present, as are they from their present making such connections to you and others.

So the idea of reincarnation is the illusion. The actual mechanism is multiple simultaneous incarnations that you make present-day connections to to download information and experience from those other lives. Those other people that are existing at the same time you do. You as a person have never been them. They as people will never be you.

Now you might, from a higher level, the oversoul level, say, “Well, I’m an extension of that oversoul. That other person is an extension of the same oversoul. Therefore, from that level, I can say as the oversoul, I can say I have both of these lives.” But as a person, since you’re already an extension and so is that other person, a simultaneously existing extension, you can’t say that one would actually reincarnate as the other because the first person, in a sense, actually never goes away.

So the idea that the reincarnational cycle is coming to an end or has stopped is exactly the idea of realizing that it never existed to begin with in the way you thought it did. Okay? That’s why it has stopped. Your realization is now caught up to the understanding of what the mechanism actually is.

You’ve modernized your definition of it, brought it into what you call your 21st century, and let go of the outdated, mythological, old-fashioned, medieval concept.

Asker: I was made aware that this specific matrix, the one that we are all sharing right now, yes, is coming to a conclusion.

Bashar: The old cycles are concluding. You’re going into new cycles of more positivity because you have reached the end of the negative cycles.

That’s why you’re seeing so much negativity popping up in the world around you in such an accelerated way as you’re getting it all out on the table because there’s no more time left to experience these things the way you used to.

You have to get it all out of your system so that you can move on to something different. You have to make choices based on the worlds that you actually prefer to experience now.

That’s why you’re really starting to physiologically split into different parallel realities. You may still be able to look across the aisle and see other realities you’re no longer in. But a physical split has begun.

Just because you can see a reality that is a different parallel reality from the one you prefer, doesn’t mean you’re living in it anymore. You’re actually just observing it at a distance from the parallel reality you are now in.

Vegetarian Benefits

Asker: I have recently omitted from my diet and I’ve noticed a big jump in my frequency.

Bashar: Yes. For some people it will work that way.

Asker: My intuitive abilities have skyrocketed.

Bashar: As you refine or increase or accelerate your frequency, those will be the natural symptoms that go along with it by whatever methodology you believe is correct for you.

Asker: I’ve also invoked a statement that I’ve revoked my soul contracts and all karmic debt.

Bashar: There’s no such thing as karmic debt.

Asker: Well, then that’s not a problem anymore.

Bashar: All you’re saying is ‘I have simply made an agreement with myself that I will choose to remain in balance.’ That’s all you’re doing. And you are also realizing, in saying “I have revoked your soul agreement,” all you’re saying is you have also consciously begun to realize that in this particular life, you can actually change your theme. And that’s what I want to do. I’ve exited my what I would call my life script. I’m writing it as I go. That’s my goal.

Abundance and Financial Freedom

Asker: One of my biggest intents now is to get financial freedom.

Bashar: Don’t get stuck in the idea of the money being the only way.

Asker: But having financial means will provide me a great amount of tools that I want to do.

Bashar: How do you know that those tools can’t come in other ways? You’re insisting there’s only one way you can imagine them happening. But it’s extremely effective.

Asker: If you want to insist on slowing down, that’s up to you. You’re actually resisting a more effective method. So, there is a better path that…

Bashar: There is a more effective method and I have just described it to you. Open up and be willing to allow other forms of abundance to be there if they need to be. If financial wealth does turn out to be, for specific circumstances, the most effective method to bring you the tools you need, then that is what will happen. But if it’s not happening that way, you have to relax your definition and understand that that may be a signal there is actually a more efficient, more effective way. Be open to allowing it to manifest in your life or you will shut the door through which a more effective way might come just because you’re not willing to recognize it as the idea of abundance.

Asker: Being specific to the path that you can see in me, and I know I’m speaking to my higher self. Yes. Can you give me some clues?

Bashar: I just did. I gave you the biggest clue I can give you. You need to relax your definition about the concept of what you need to be effective in your life. You have to let the machine work. You have to let the toolkit work. When you’re talking about effective tools, the most effective tools are the ones that are already built into the toolkit of excitement. That is that when you act on your passion to the best you are able with no insistence or assumption as to what the outcome ought to be—and I mean none—then you activate the toolkit. The tools in the kit are that your passion becomes the driving engine that moves you through life. It contains the organizing principle of synchronicity that shows you exactly what you need to do in what order and when. And that makes you most efficient. It becomes the path of least resistance that allows you to move through your life in an effortless way. It becomes the path that connects you to all other expressions that are relevant for you in life of your joy, your passion, and excitement. It becomes the reflective mirror that reveals to you anything within you as a belief that might be out of alignment with your excitement. So you can identify it, see that it makes no sense to hold on to, let it go and add that energy to your excitement. So you can continue to accelerate and it becomes whatever form of support or abundance it needs to be to allow you to continue to efficiently act on whatever it is that is true for you that is representative of your passion. It is a complete kit. It contains everything you need. It leaves nothing out. And all you have to do from that point forward is simply choose to stay in a positive state no matter what the result may be or look like from the actions that you took from within your excitement. That’s the entire instruction manual. There is no more to it. There is no addendum. There is no table of contents. That’s it. That’s the entire instruction manual for how reality manifestation works. So that’s all you need to do.

Asker: So what you’re saying is I’m too narrow in my view at this point.

Bashar: That is what I’m saying. You need to broaden your definition so that more of the automatic machine can work for you more effortlessly instead of constricting the pathway through which it gets to you by insisting that it can only be this way. Therefore you will only recognize this as valid. Therefore, leaving out a lot of the rest of what could be validly working for you in an extremely effective way. Because here’s the thing: what you’re experiencing is the idea of the ego mind thinking it knows what needs to happen. Your mind has no idea what needs to happen. You think you do, but you don’t. So, I need to just let it go is what you’re saying.

Bashar: You need to surrender. And surrender. Not meaning you give up control. You need to surrender to the control you already have. Surrender the methodology. The idea is to go with your own flow because you already have a flow. You already have a current and the current knows exactly where you need to go. It will never lead you astray. The only way you can, in a sense, land on the shore that is not correct for you is by swimming against the current and not going with the flow. And swimming against the current is simply resisting the natural self. Trusting that your life unfolds automatically in exactly the way it needs to. Even if you manifest something at the moment you don’t prefer, objectively don’t prefer, it’s still got to be there for a reason you do prefer. That’s how you use what you don’t prefer in a positive way. So even if something crops up and you go, “Well, objectively, neutrally, I recognize, I observe that is not what I prefer, but there must be a reason it’s here,” let me stay in a positive state so that I will be able to intuit what that reason is and use it in a positive way because I know that by staying in a positive state I can even springboard off things that I don’t prefer in the direction I do prefer. A stepping stone is what you’re saying.

Everything exists for a reason. Whatever’s going on in your life at this moment is there for a reason. If you use it in a positive way, you will see why it is there. Sometimes it can be as simple as manifesting something you don’t prefer just in order to give you clarity about the difference between what you don’t and do prefer. That’s reason enough sometimes for something you don’t prefer to manifest just to give you clarity on what you do prefer by contrast.

Asker: So if I follow this approach, which I will attempt… I will do. Thank you for catching yourself. My goal is, you know, to attain an earlier retirement as… Excuse me. No goals. My plan. Excuse me. My will.

Bashar: You can plan a little bit. That’s fine. But remember, your plan has to contain an ability for the plan to be dropped and changed. So have a plan, but allow the plan to be flexible enough to change the plan if necessary according to what needs to happen. Because when you plan too much, when you have too rigid of a goal, then it becomes the conditions and the insistence that we’re talking about and that means you are now voiding the actual principle and it creates blocks that would work for you. Creates blocks.

Asker: Okay. Yes. So from this new knowledge that you’ve given me, what is my probability of success?

Bashar: The awareness of the knowledge, the probability is zero or 50/50. The application of the knowledge: 100%. But watch your definition of success because it may contain conditions that will once again reduce the probability. We, by definition, generally remind all of you, quote-unquote, that if at first you don’t succeed, redefine success.

Asker: That sounds like a copout.

Bashar: It’s not. And the fact that you say it sounds like a copout means that you’re working with negative definitions because you can come up with a positive reason for that because you know we would not have suggested it were there not the possibility of looking at that concept in the positive way. So when you say it sounds like a copout that means you’re already coming from a negative definition of that phrase.

Asker: So I have some work to do.

Bashar: Yes you do. But that’s fun. That’s the challenge. That’s why you’re having a physical life. In order to experience the process itself. Remember, if you want to talk about a goal, the process is the goal, not where you think you’re going to go. The goal of having a life is to experience transformation from one state to another. The process is the point. As many people on your planet say, the journey is the destination. So live in the moment, stay in the moment, work with what’s happening in the moment. That’s the whole point. That’s your goal. To be here now, not to get somewhere else, to be here now. If you simply allow yourself to be here now, you will find very quickly you will be some other now much faster because it can only happen in the now. When you set your sights on too far of a future, you’re not living in the now and it remains where? In the future.

Asker: I always try to insist on being present as much as possible.

Bashar: But it’s not an insistence, it’s choice. All right, one final question.

Asker: Yes. I heard a statistic which was quite startling and I wanted to get your confirmation.

Bashar: Oh, a startling statistic.

Asker: Yes. I’ve been told that the ratio of people on this planet that are soul-bound, in other words, they have a soul, a fractal of a soul in them… What does that mean? Well, in other words, it’s 5,000 to one. In other words, for every single person who has a soul in their body—the soul is not in your body, but go ahead—well, there’s that connection. There’s that connection to Source Self. Yes. The ratio of human beings living on this planet, yes, is 5,000 to 1 that has a soul Source connection. The other 4,999, you know, the ratio are basically soulless entities, soulless beings just playing out their life path, their script in order to play the game. And what would be the point of playing out the script if there’s no soul connection? They are basically part of the puzzle for us soul players to have this. So what you’re saying is they’re just part of the illusion that you’re projecting and they’re not actually people in the same concept.

Bashar: Correct. Is that a question? You can do that, but the idea is: how would you tell the difference? You really can’t. And therefore, what’s the point of talking about it?

Asker: I just found it an interesting statistic. In other words, when those people die, they don’t go anywhere. They’re just recorded in the Akashic. But that’s because you’re saying they’re not people. They’re like robots.

Bashar: They’re robots. They’re not people. They’re not anything but projections of your consciousness. But they’re organic representations of beings that… But physical reality is an illusion anyway. So what difference does it make how real they look?

Asker: Oh, you’re making me go in circles.

Bashar: Yes. Because in a sense, it’s a pointless question. But if I interact with another person who’s also soul Source connected, there is real meaning there. There’s real meaning in all of it because you’re the one creating the meaning anyway.

Asker: But there’s more meaning with those.

Bashar: No, there is not. You see how you like to qualify things?

Asker: Yes.

Bashar: Stop doing that. Okay? And fundamentally, I know this may also add a little bit more confusion to you, but fundamentally the answer to your question is no. No. As in: No, that doesn’t really exist in the way you’re describing it. So, it’s a matrix game that’s being played on me.

Bashar: Yes. Well, not played on you. It’s part of the idea of the exploration of consciousness and it gives you an opportunity to examine things that you also believe about yourself. Okay? So, it’s an opportunity to decide whether or not there is some truth in that experience or that description for you or not. All right, that’s really what it’s about more than anything. It’s not about is this really accurate as a statistic because remember your reality changes moment to moment. Nothing is static. It’s all dynamic. I could say in one moment it’s an absolutely accurate statistic and 5 seconds from now I could say it’s complete bunk and both will be true. It just depends on where you’re at and what you choose to experience of the reality that you choose to be aligned with. Anything you can imagine, in some sense, is real because you cannot imagine non-existence. The only real question is: is that the way you want to define the reality you prefer to experience? It’s up to you. Does it work for you as an idea? Does it work for you as a permission slip to think that way? Yes. No. It’s up to you. It’s all real in one context and in another context none of it is real.

Stop overthinking everything.

Music, Drum Aliens

Asker: You’ve said that if you imagine something it’s real somewhere, somehow.

Bashar: That doesn’t mean it’s real in your physical reality.

Asker: So I’ve imagined either it could be a parallel earth or some other planet where music is essentially like the central ideas that the society is based around.

Bashar: There’s actually several civilizations that function in that way. Imagine a drum with 8 legs and it can move around and when it needs to communicate, it goes thump thump thumpy thump thump thump.

But these thumps resonate with an amazing amount of resonance, harmonics, different chords. All of the beings communicate this way.

Resonance is a fundamental part of who and what they are. Everything is expressed that way in this amazing symphony of these kinds of instruments they have within their body biologically that allow for the creation of all sorts of amazing complex patterns and harmonics to happen in percussive ways.

It’s an amazing civilization to visit and it’s amazing just to stand on their world and be immersed in the vibrations of all that resonance. It does things to you.

So music is just everything everywhere there. That’s all they understand are variations of resonance, variations of tone. Both what you would call on larger scales and on more subtle scales.

Like us, what might seem a simple note to you, to us actually sounds like multiple harmonics. To them it’s 10 times that, 20 times that. They can hear things in the simplest note that you would only think is a single note that to them might be an entire symphony. It’s really quite immersive.

The thing is is that when you stand among them, they actually have the ability to impart a little bit of that to you because they are somewhat telepathic. Therefore, their vibrations go in a sense right through you and entrain you a little bit to go along with those vibrations. And after a while, you actually begin to understand their language. But understanding their language is not just language in the way that you use it. It’s music in the same way that listening to a symphony might transport you in your imagination to various realities and various experiences. It’s more like that rather than some of the simple concepts that words might attempt to convey. It’s much more of a holistic, full-bodied experience to listen to their language, to be immersed in their language. They’re actually, in a sense, telling stories as they talk. It’s just built into what they are.

Kundalini, Ego, and Plant Medicines

Asker: I have been experiencing a large amount of creas involuntary body movements. From my understanding, kundalini sati-like…

Bashar: Well, as you expand your consciousness you raise your frequency, you make yourself a better antenna for higher frequency energies, in a sense, to pass through. You become a conduit for that. But it’s even more important. The more sensitive you become to higher frequency energies and become a better conduit for those higher energies, the more important it is to actually express those energies in physical terms through different actions that are representative of your passion. So that it gets grounded into your physical reality so that it just passes through you and doesn’t necessarily stay within you and cause all sorts of bodily movements that you don’t necessarily need. Okay. Thank you. Where would you suggest putting these guys? Anything to do like anything to do other than follow my excitement with this that’s flown through me?

Bashar: So, you’re asking me if there’s anything outside the instruction manual we’ve already given you and told you there was nothing outside the instruction manual.

Asker: Yeah. Part of it is, as I understand, kundalini sati dissolving my ego, returning to oneness.

Bashar: Well, no. You can’t return to oneness and have any experience. And it’s not dissolving the ego. It’s allowing the ego to become transparent enough to simply do the job it was designed to do and not take on any other tasks that it’s not designed to handle. The ego is simply designed to focus you to have an experience of physical reality. It’s part of the idea of the manifestation space we described at the beginning of this transmission. It’s the part that tells you “this is real. This is real. This is real. This is real. Have an experience. Have an experience. Have an experience. Have an experience. Oh, look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that.” That’s all the ego is for. But when the ego is taught to believe that it has to control everything, handle everything, then it becomes the negative ego. Then it tries to take control. Then it tries to tell you what it thinks you need to do. That’s not what the ego is designed to do. So, it’s not about dissolving the ego. It’s about making it transparent and just letting it do the job it was designed to do so you can have a physical experience in a clear and balanced way. That’s all.

Asker: At times when these negative beliefs are… When my ego becomes more transparent, these things are leaving now and it’s very painful on the floor in the fetal position crying. Is there a way to process this pain?

Bashar: Well, yes, more efficiently. Well, yes. Again, you can understand that pain is resistance to the natural self. So the more you don’t resist the natural self, the faster it will go through you, the faster you will experience it that way and the sooner you will not need to experience it that way. Okay. Thank you. But again, do the things that you need to do. Take the actions in physical reality you need to take that are reflective of your passion so that you are funneling the energy through you in a more accelerated way.

Asker: So having a flexible plan, my prior highest excitement before it was brought to my attention, this energy was in me. I was pursuing shamanism. I’m slated to go back to Peru in September. All right. I’ve heard it is dangerous to mix Ayahuasca or other plant medicines with this active energy in my system.

Bashar: It depends. Depends on your belief system. But again, you can also trust that if you are in that balanced state with yourself and if you are acting on your passion, the organizing principle of synchronicity will show you, by creating opportunities or not creating opportunities, what it is you actually need and don’t need to do at that moment. So in that sense it will guide you and it will make sure that you’re not necessarily doing—if you pay attention to that intuition—it will make sure you’re not doing what wouldn’t necessarily be to your benefit at that moment.

Asker: Yes. Awesome. Thank you very much. Thank you. Can I ask a question? That was question one. Get ask a question. Could you tell me about soul agreements? I was thinking before you talked about past lives not… Simultaneously or in a linear framework that I really over… In a past life and which is why she causes me so much pain now.

Bashar: No, the idea is you’re making connections from the present that are the connections you believe were necessary to make in order to draw upon information and experience that help you with the theme that you chose to explore in this life. So it’s not from another life. You’re making those connections to explore the theme you chose for this life. If you don’t believe you necessarily need to make those connections anymore, you can change the connections. Please, all of you remember the idea of the so-called past lives. Not only is it really just an illusion that it happens that way, but it’s also not a static thing. Many people when they talk about the idea of, “Oh well, do I have this past life or that past life?” They think that never changes. It’s a dynamically changing thing as you change. So one moment you may have a connection to one other simultaneous incarnation and 5 minutes later you may be such a different person that you don’t need that connection anymore and you’re making connections to other people and other simultaneous incarnations. It’s a dynamically changing thing.

Asker: Cool. Thank you. Last question about rectifying… Like you say life is inherently meaningless.

Bashar: Not in the negative way. We simply mean it’s a blank slate. You give it meaning and that’s what determines the effect you get. You are offered the free will to make those choices and have the experiences you prefer. It feels that higher forces are guiding me towards my life’s purpose being spiritual evolution. So I was just wondering what trumps what.

Bashar: There is a general current, if you want to call it that, a magnetic pull toward the positive side because you could sort of say, just as an illustration, that existence is 51% positive and 49% negative because the balance point in the center, the neutral point, still offers you the opportunity to choose what you prefer. Whereas negativity attempts, in a sense, to disguise that option. So in a sense, if you even just dropped into the flow, relaxed into the general current of existence, you would eventually gravitate, feel the pull toward the positive side. Okay. Thank you. When I dissolve into oneness, can we hang on?

Bashar: You do not dissolve into oneness ever. You are always a perspective. You’re always a point of view. You exist. You always exist. And the idea that you’re calling dissolving into oneness is simply suddenly experiencing yourself as All-That-Is. You don’t lose your perspective. Your perspective is all that’s left. You become everything. You don’t lose yourself in everything. You are everything. That’s the difference because you can never lose your perspective because you can never not exist in some form.

Gender, Rape Culture, Victimization, and Sacred Sexuality

Asker: How can we end the war between the sexes.

Bashar: Why are you calling it a war if you want to help?

Asker: So, I’ll just drop it.

There are differences and many of which may be based on negative and fear-based beliefs and certainly you can help with that. But calling it a war, doesn’t that take it in the negative direction? Doesn’t that reinforce the negativity?

So by all means you can educate, you can raise consciousness, you can allow perspective to shift by creating new definitions, new ways to understand relationships.

How can anything choose to change if you don’t give it the option to change instead of reinforcing the negative idea?

Asker: Yes. Got it. There is a rape culture on this planet.

Bashar: There are more than 2 genders. There’s a continuum. Therefore, you have a lot more to work with here. A lot more flexibility, a lot more malleability in how you describe these things, how you discuss these things, how you offer different perspective of these things.

Asker: So, it’s limiting to think of us as being born into just male or female bodies.

Bashar: Yes, there may be purposes for that. But the purposes may not be what you think. So, so why does it… Does this give you a richer tapestry to work with?

Asker: It’s definitely giving me a rich… Why does what seem… What? So, why does it still seem like there’s a culture of domination?

Bashar: Because it’s fear-based, as I just told you. Remember people who are not fear-based don’t need to express domination. Okay, remember that when you express the idea of attempting to dominate, that means you don’t believe you actually have any power. Because if you really know you have power, what would be the point of dominating? You’re already as powerful as you need to be to create whatever reality you prefer. If you have to dominate, you’re saying you’re powerless. I don’t have any other way of creating what I prefer other than trying to control my reality and other people’s reality and force them into this idea that makes me feel safe. [Laughter] You understand?

Asker: Yes. Because if they haven’t been given the tools to get in touch with their own self-empowerment, they’re going to feel powerless and that scares them. And therefore they’re in denial of that because it scares them to even look at it. And therefore they have to project outwardly onto others the idea of their fear. Because please remember again, paradoxically, people who are in denial of the fact that they have fear-based beliefs are also in denial that they’re in denial. Yes. Yeah. That’s the negative reinforcement from the negative belief is you have to be in denial that you’re in denial so that you won’t look at those things. And therefore, the only avenue of escape you have is to project it outward onto others and attempt to gain what you think is control outwardly instead of understanding you already have control inwardly. So eliminating fear-based beliefs, getting people in touch with the fact that they’re already as powerful as they need to be to manifest whatever they truly need in life without having to hurt themselves or anyone else in that process. Then you’ll have a different world. Then you’ll have a balanced world. Yes. It’s all about the idea of fear-based beliefs. Belief in things like lack. You understand? Mh. And beliefs in all sorts of other things that are out of alignment with your true frequency, your true nature.

Asker: So, I imagine that I, like everybody else in this room here right now, wants to make a positive impact on our world.

Bashar: And you want to reveal the positive impact you’re already having. Oh, wow. You already have impact as much as you ever will have. But the actions you take reveal the impact that’s already there. That’s the difference. Does that make sense?

Asker: Touches me deeply to hear. Yes.

Bashar: Just be yourself and it will reveal all the impact you’re already having. You see, none of you are really aware, nor do you always need to be aware of the impact that you already have on others just by your existence. It’s profound. All you need to do is take the actions that are in alignment with your passion to begin to reveal the impact you’re already having. Does that help you?

Asker: It does. And what it also brings up is the question… I work in the field of sacred sexuality. Yes. And I work with men and women who have been raped and have had sexual violence done to them.

Bashar: Well, how exciting for you to give them an opportunity to find a path through that experience that will benefit them and empower them.

Asker: So, it’s not about denying their perception that there’s rape out there.

Bashar: No. It’s not about excusing perpetrators. It’s about taking responsibility for the fact that you may have had beliefs about yourself that then were reflected by someone else to you about issues of lack of self-worth.

Asker: Wow! that’s a hard pill to swallow for somebody.

Bashar: That’s a belief.

Asker: Okay, got it.

Bashar: An accelerated consciousness is needed to realize it’s not about blame or fault. It’s not about excusing a perpetrator because it’s the perpetrator’s duty to get in touch with their own self-empowerment and not be attracted by someone who may be playing a victim role.

Both the perpetrator and the victim are victims because it takes a victim to make a victim.

So a chain has been created where abuse creates abusive people. Yes. Yes. So it’s about breaking the chain and having the compassion to understand, again not excusing a perpetrator, but seeing deep within to understand that they are in a great deal of pain. That’s why they’re lashing out at other people. Why they’re attempting to dominate and control.

And it is having the compassion not only for yourself to remove yourself from victimhood and victimization by claiming your own responsibility for your own reality, at least to the point where you may recognize there are positive ways to realize how to transform that experience for yourself and maybe even transform it in a way that you can reach out to those that perpetrated it and help them transform too, thus breaking the chain.

So those that may appear to be victims at first can actually be the most powerful agents of change for those who function as perpetrators.

Asker: I’m really locked in this perception that gender is dual, that there’s men and women. And I hear you saying there’s more than those two.

Bashar: Well, there is. And we understand that that seems to be the dominant way it’s expressed on your planet. And that’s fine in general as an overall illustration, okay?

But it doesn’t take in the finer points of the spectrum that exists. And of course, you have to understand there are on other planets many other expressions of the idea of gender that are completely unlike what you experience. Therefore, you have to know that your spirit contains the probability of all of those expressions, even though it may only seem to be expressing it in a few limited ways.

Asker: Fantastic. So, I’m imagining if I’m working with a couple, say, well, any couple, that it’s not so much a matter of them inhabiting male or female bodies. It’s more like they’re these two puzzle pieces in a sense, but I would start first by exploring with them as deeply as you can what they actually believe to be true about themselves in terms of general gender energy.

Bashar: M. Oh. Because even though someone may look female and look male to your eyes, they may actually be expressing within themselves a multitude of different ways of expressing gender energy if they’re willing to be honest about the different ways in which they experience themselves when that subject comes up for them.

Asker: Wow. That could get pretty complicated.

Bashar: Because it can get complex. Complex. It doesn’t have to be complicated. And because who… There seems to be a lot of confusions about what is masculine and what is feminine. Exactly. But the idea of the confusion can lead to a greater understanding that the terms may actually be able to be dissolved in ways you haven’t imagined before or maybe expanded in ways you haven’t imagined before. What does it really mean on your planet to be male? What does it really mean on your planet to be female? In fact, what does it really mean on your planet to be human at all? Because most of you aren’t yet. You’re becoming more human, but you’re actually not human yet. You just kind of dissed us all, didn’t you, right now, in a playful way? You need to understand how labels limit you. Okay? Be an explorer and understand that the space that you’re exploring is far vaster than you think. Drop the boundaries for now and see what comes up. That will allow people to operate much more flexibly within themselves when it’s all right in their minds for them to express gender in a variety of different ways and even what it means to be a gender.

There are civilizations where there is no gender at all. Let me describe one to you. Okay, we are aware of a life form on a planet that sort of builds itself. All the components look the same. You could loosely describe every single one of the components, the living components, as being kind of like a large thin worm or snake-like organism. Now, it doesn’t exactly look like a worm or a snake, but that’s the general shape of it. In certain conditions, they actually come together and attach to each other in ways that builds a mobile creature, but they all, in a sense, are genderless. And yet when they come together in certain ways, then they become a kind of gender temporarily to do what they need to do to reproduce. But it’s still not reproduction in the way you understand it. And if they choose to break apart, they are again genderless.

So they literally build the genders as they need them. But even the genders they build as they need them, like a set of building blocks, aren’t even genders as you understand them.

Asker: So what’s the purpose of taking on a gender in that culture?

Bashar: To express a certain purpose for a certain experience, but again those experiences may be completely foreign to the way you understand the expression of gender. All we simply mean is there may be a trait that now becomes more dominant in them that is dominant for a particular reason temporarily. And it may have to do with the perpetuation of the species maybe in certain ways, but it’s still nothing like gender as you understand it. Thank you. I won’t pretend to understand that all but yeah, I nevertheless sense…

The basic building block of your being is either genderless or contains all possible genders or expressions of that concept.

People now are awakening to different levels of their consciousness may be made up of more than two colors. Your palette has expanded now.

So really look at what the colors are that any given person, no matter what they look like, may actually be painted with because you may see some very subtle tones there that give richness and depth and dimension to those beings far beyond the idea of simple black and white.

Asker: Yes, it sounds more artful of an experience of life and therefore more representative of the way life actually expresses itself within creation. I’m thinking about the experience of sexual ecstasy between two people. Yes. And my understanding is that requires a polarity to be there.

Bashar: Well, not a polarity in the way that you necessarily experience it on your planet. There generally does need to be a resonance difference to play off of one another, but it doesn’t have to exactly be what you would think of as a polarity. Oh, a resonance because a resonance difference can be used to amplify and reinforce each other in certain ways to build up to a certain point of experience. But resonance amplification doesn’t exactly have to be a polarity. We can get into that in more detail at another time.
