Your planet is at a junction point especially in 2020 which symbolically represents the idea not only of Clear Vision forward but also the idea of 2020 hindsight and in gathering together all the lessons you have learned all the information that you need to move forward with Clarity in that pivotal year and the years to follow.
Even though you may think as we have said that you are all sharing one particular reality you are not. You are creating your own version, your own simulation through agreements, telepathically connected agreements with each other to create what appears to be the same reality. But each of you is creating your own. And many of you now are beginning to realize as your Society continues forward that there are many individuals who are choosing different expressions of reality that are not necessarily in alignment with the kind of experience that you prefer to have on your planet or again, more precisely on your planets because there are multiple versions of Earth simultaneously coexisting here.
The idea is that now the splitting prism has moved forward enough that there are starting to be in between all of these different parallel realities a kind of borderline, a kind of barrier. You can liken it to the idea as we have said of a glass wall. You can see through it to the other realities, to the people that are not necessarily choosing things that are vibrationally compatible with the kind of reality experience you prefer. But that doesn’t mean that they can affect you because they can no longer really reach you with their vibration except by your choice to mirror or mimic what you’re seeing on the other side of the glass. But there is no other effect than that. Your choice to believe that you must be affected by them is you creating that effect in your reality, your discrete parallel reality.
So as you move forward recognizing that each of you is in your own reality literally, and that you can make more and more agreements with those that are more vibrationally compatible with what you prefer to continue to generate simulations of these realities for yourselves that do harmonize with those that are vibrationally compatible with you, and disharmonize or become more discoherent with those that are not vibrationally compatible with what you prefer. The split becomes wider and wider, the walls of glass become in a sense thicker and thicker.
Now the key idea of navigating through what’s happening in this splitting is to allow yourself the opportunity to not only follow the formula that we have given you that is representative of the instruction manual of how reality Works—which is: act on your passion to the best you can, no assumption, no insistence on the outcome, and remaining in a positive State no matter how things look in order to extract a beneficial effect—along with that, there is another element that now becomes more crucial, more important as the days unfold, as the years unfold going forward in your sense of time and space.
We have discussed from time to time the difference in the language between your higher mind which is non-physical and your physical mind. The higher mind being non-physical has a language of energy, vibration, resonance. Now all things operate on resonance of energy, but it is from the higher mind purely an energetic transmission. And when your body receives this like an antenna, it translates as we have said this vibrational language from the higher mind as the physical sensation you call passion, excitement, creativity, love.
But your response cannot only be in love, but your response cannot only be in energy. It cannot only be in words. The language of physical reality is physical actions. And therefore this is why it is so crucial to act on your passion. Not just think about it, not only just meditate on it, not only just give off loving energy to everyone. All these things help, but the physical action seals the deal, completes the circuit, grounds the effect. And the physical acts you take that are in alignment with the reality you prefer instead of just wishing or hoping that your reality will shift into more and more of a representation—the physical actions you take will actually start to crystallize that reality much more quickly, much more coherently for you. That’s how you navigate through all of these splitting prisms, taking Yourself by acting on your passion, steering that Rudder, being the vibration of the reality you prefer to experience so you can navigate toward it more and more every day in every way.
But along with that, it is crucial to really take the physical actions necessary to really home in on that reality, to demonstrate by your actions the reflection that you ultimately will see in that reality. So for example, we have sometimes been asked questions such as: “If I am in my reality and I see something happening that is what I don’t prefer, should I help?” Yes, because it is the action of being of assistance that belongs in the reality you prefer. That’s one of the expressions of the reality that most of you theoretically would prefer: that when someone gives off a signal that they might require assistance, that you actually take the action of assisting them somehow. It isn’t that again you have to expect a particular outcome from that, but it is the action itself, the offering itself that makes all the difference. And whatever comes to fruition from that will again crystallize and solidify the reality of your preference. But the actions are key.
We got another question recently about the idea of: “If I’m in my reality and I’m walking along and I see a piece of trash on the ground, should I pick it up?” Yes. If you don’t prefer it to be in your reality, you have to demonstrate through your actions what this reality you prefer would actually be like, where people would automatically do those kinds of things. You have to be the first, foremost living example of the behaviors that belong in the realities you prefer. By being that physical example and demonstrating those behaviors, others will see that. Others who wish to align with the similar kinds of realities, create those kinds of realities for themselves, will see that and they may realize that those are the kinds of behaviors that are representative of those kinds of realities. And you will have given them an opportunity to see through you someone in their preferred reality doing something that represents the kind of reality they prefer. So you become a living example to them and an example and a solidifier and a crystallizer to yourself by actually undertaking those kinds of actions that are representative of the reality in the way you would also prefer to see others behaving, getting a reflection of that kind of consciousness, of that kind of conscientiousness, of that kind of awareness and the willingness to take action on it to demonstrate what that reality really looks like and what the people living in that reality would actually naturally, automatically do. Is this making some sense?
So the idea then is as you go through life, as you act on your passion best you can, as you let go of the insistence on what the outcome should look like, as you remain by choice in a positive State no matter what happens so that you can derive the benefit from that circumstance, also put yourselves out there. Take the actions that are representative of that passion. Don’t hesitate, don’t hold back. If you feel like you need to express yourself through writing, write. If you need to express yourself through painting, paint. If you need to express yourself through acting, act. In some way shape or form, express your creativity, Express who you are through the physical actions on a daily basis so that others may see through you as a living example what that reality looks like and what the citizens of that reality do. And it will start to really bleed through. It will start to rub off on others who are even minorly willing to navigate in that direction. So each of you becomes a crystallized nodal point, a magnetic nodal point that starts to attract more and more like-minded people. Even if their vibration is not exactly aligned, you can act as a magnetic nodal point to again give them more opportunity to realize, “Oh, this looks more like the reality I prefer. I see the actions of these people here, that looks more like the reality I prefer, and so I myself will also take those actions so that they can see something similar in the reflection that I am to them.”
Don’t hesitate. Remember please remember if you have a gift to give that means there has to be someone waiting to receive it, otherwise you wouldn’t be excited about having that gift, about expressing yourself that way. So please do not deprive others of the gift that they are waiting to receive from you. Let go, open up, take the actions every day as best as you can, every moment that you can on the things that give you Joy. Don’t just Muse about them, don’t just wish, don’t just think, don’t just meditate. These are all wonderful states of being, but the action completes the circuit. It completes the cycle and it allows the higher mind to know that you actually heard the message it sent you through passion because you are speaking in the language of physical reality. And therefore you are creating a space by taking those actions that allow the higher mind to not only know you heard it but that you’re willing to handle more opportunities that it could send your way through passion of what it is that is representative of your true self. For if you do not act on the things it’s already sent you, why should it send you anymore? It would be pointless. So the more you act, the more space you make for more opportunities to act on your excitement, to act on your passion. You create this cycle and it expands and expands and expands.
So again, even though there may be those that you see through the glass walls into another reality that are behaving vibrationally incompatible with what you prefer, at the very least by being your true selves and taking these actions that are representative of the reality, the version of Earth you prefer, you are even giving them an opportunity because they can see you too. You are at least giving them an opportunity to know there might be another choice they could make, there might be another path they could take. Not that they have to. This is not about insistence; it’s about allowance. It’s about demonstration to show that there are options. And in that way, with those actions and being a living example of that reality through your actions, do you solidify and crystallize for yourself the reality, the version of earth that is truly more vibrationally compatible with the reflection that you would prefer to see. And bit by bit you take steps more and more every day toward that reality, waiting a little bit to some degree for some others to catch up but not to the point where it holds you back. Make sense? All right, up to you to decide how this works for you, but take the actions that you can. We thank you for allowing us to share this idea with you and we may discuss this in more depth as we move along, but for now in return for the wonderful gift you are giving to us and allowing us to experience each and every one of you, I ask in return: how may we now be of service in your questions and your dialogues with us? Please begin however you so desire.
Questions
Life Themes and Soul Families
Asker: my question is about life themes.
Bashar: The greatest challenges you face in life are usually representative of the themes you chose to explore. That’s usually how they present themselves.
Asker: The question is that I’ve heard you say that if you chose a Life theme and it’s like a corridor and you can go down it anyway—you can skip down it, run down it, swim down it, ice skate—I’ve heard you say that.
Bashar: Yes. That’s because we said that. That’s why you heard.
Asker: Yes. Okay. The okay. What can you have more than one theme or do you have to…?
Bashar: You can change themes. In this day and age on your planet, you have evolved to a point where you can finish one theme and begin another without dying.
Asker: Yes. Okay, great. Cuz I I I sense that one of my themes is to be here in this lifetime without my soul family, where I chose for them to stay in spirit, yes, and me be here by myself.
Bashar: Well, how bold of you.
Asker: I I do believe it was a very bold Choice. Um, but now I believe I have outgrown that theme. I’ve learned from that theme. I’ve learned independence. So what else would you like to explore in this life?
Bashar: What would you like to explore in this life?
Asker: Um, having my soul family with me now. Maybe.
Bashar: Okay. You know, it’s not just up to you.
Asker: Yes.
Bashar: It’s up to them too.
Asker: Yes.
Bashar: Okay. Because from their perspective, they understand what serves everyone in the family best. You can too. So I would simply say: be open to the idea, certainly be allowing for those that wish to join you in that way, but don’t insist on it. Okay? Because insistence is resistance.
Asker: Right. Yes, I agree.
Bashar: Yes. All right. So be open to it. Let them decide how they wish to come through, if they do, to join you in this way. And those that feel that that is something that is worth for them to do will do so. Those that don’t, won’t. It’s as simple as that.
Asker: Can you tell if I have um… I have… I I can you tell if I learned that lesson of Independence?
Bashar: Since you have to ask, I would say the answer is not quite. Okay? See where I’m going with that?
Asker: Yeah. Because why would you have to ask if you really learned it? True, true.
Bashar: Thank you. Yes. So in your own honest self-assessment, is there still something else to learn about that?
Asker: No. I think I think I have learned that lesson. I truly do.
Bashar: All right. I just kind of wanted your take on it cuz I like my take is that if that is so, you may still test yourself to see if that’s true for you. Because again, remember, if you truly have learned that lesson, then it’s not going to matter to you what happens in your life. It’s only going to matter what you decide to do with what happens. Because the true measure of change is not whether the outside world changes. The true measure of change is that you respond differently even if it still looks the same. Because it shouldn’t really matter how it looks, since you know as the creator of your reality that you can use every situation to your advantage and derive benefit from it no matter how it looks. So why would you care what happens or how it looks in that context?
Bashar: All right. If you have learned that, then you truly have learned Freedom.
Asker: Sure. You’re absolutely correct. I know that’s why I said it.
Bashar: Okay. Is it okay if I ask you to do me a favor?
Bashar: Um, you may ask. That doesn’t mean we will grant it, but you may ask whatever you wish.
Asker: Oh, I would like uh for you to ask Daryl if he could be a guest on my show.
Bashar: Why don’t you just ask the channel when you have the opportunity?
Asker: I shall.
Bashar: We don’t need to be the intermediary for those kinds of things.
Plasma Ships, Teleportation, and Raising Frequency
Asker: Where I live I happen to see I’ve seen several plasma ships fly over my house. And then I see some that are not. I haven’t been able to quite figure out if they’re Octarians or what have you. It’s quite intriguing to see them. Sometimes I’ve seen them and no one else can see them. Sometimes that will happen. Sometime see them and some people see them with me.
Bashar: Yes. Just depends on the frequency. Depends on the resonance. And that’s the thing that I was wondering about. Frequency, resonance, vibration. Yes. Is that I didn’t meditate when I would see them. So not say just naturally higher and vibration frequency?
Bashar: You are naturally whatever the frequency needs to be for you to be able to perceive them. Whatever that frequency is, it more often than not might be higher than usual, but it doesn’t necessarily always have to be. If it is the correct frequency in which you need to see them.
Asker: Interesting. I think that the reason why they’re around is because of the landmark location where I’m at. Also, I think there’s a portal that opens and closes. Cuz I’ve seen like six at a time that would just disappear at some point over the house.
Bashar: Yes. There are many different kinds of Pathways and portals around your planet and there’s a lot of traffic coming and going around your world that most of you never see.
Asker: Yeah. Is a big highway traffic jam above the house.
Bashar: Interesting. Well, no Jam, but a highway in a sense, yes.
Asker: Yeah. So um, that kind of… so how does one raise their vibration and frequency if they want to purposely, intently do that? You understand the formula? A certain modality, a certain… you understand the formula? Yes or no?
Asker: I don’t remember.
Bashar: I don’t remember the formula even though we said it about three minutes ago.
You act on whatever contains more passion, more excitement than any other option. You act on it to the best you can till you can act on it no further.
Look around for the next thing that contains even just a little bit more excitement than any other option, no matter what it may be. You act on that next to the best you can until you can take it no further. You keep doing this with no assumption, no insistence on why you are taking those actions as to what the outcome should be. None. Zero. Then you remain in a positive State no matter what manifests, even if what manifests may be neutrally something you don’t necessarily prefer. You have to know by remaining in a positive state that it’s got to be there for a positive reason to serve you. By remaining in a positive State, even if it’s something you don’t prefer, you’ll be able to use what you don’t prefer in a way that you do prefer and learn something from it. Because you know it’s there for a reason. As soon as you use it up, it will go away and something else will take its place. That’s how you raise your frequency. That’s how you make yourself a more receptive and sensitive antenna for experiences that are representative of higher frequency dimensions of reality. And if you just keep doing that, your frequency continues to rise and you have more and more ability to perceive things that were heretofore invisible to you that are around you all the time but you’re not on the frequency of. So all you have to do is keep upping your frequency by continuing to act on your passion. But you have to have zero insistence as to what the outcome ought to look like or what’s supposed to happen. Because acting on your passion must be done for its own sake, not because of what you think doing that will get you. Otherwise, you’re making your passion conditional. And as soon as you make it conditional, you lower your frequency. Because it shouldn’t matter what does or doesn’t happen in the world around you, in the reflection of physical reality, because you know that whatever it is that happens is going to be able to serve you because you’re going to remain in the state that will allow it to do so. Is that a clear explanation for you?
Asker: It’s a clear explanation but human… I guess that means not well.
Bashar: Yeah. Human beings, by their own innate nature… yes, have a Consciousness their minds Babble and they don’t their minds AR focused. Excuse me. That is not your nature. That is your learning. It is not your nature to have a babbling mind. It is the way you’ve been taught. It’s the way you’ve been brought up. It’s what you’ve been told to believe is true that creates the chatter. That’s not your natural state. It’s conditioning. So you have to unlearn that conditioning. So you have to unlearn that. Let It Go by finding out what belief systems you may be buying into that don’t work for you, that are out of alignment with who you truly are, so that you can actually be your true natural self instead of your normal self. Because most of you have simply been normalized through conditioning. Most of you are not your natural selves and therefore you rarely experience what it actually means to be your natural selves, which contains absolutely no babbling at all. It’s clear. When you are your natural self, things are clear, concise, precise, direct, understandable, knowable. No babbling required.
Asker: So if someone wanted to interact with their… maaba? They apply the same formula that you just mentioned earlier?
Bashar: Yes. But again, when you say “if they want to interact with this,” you have to be cautious about the idea that that’s not bringing it to the level of insistence that that must happen in the way you think. Because you don’t really know. See, here’s the clue. Here’s the secret for all of the physical minds: the biggest clue, the biggest thing, is for the physical mind to realize that it might think it knows what the outcome should be, but it actually has no clue what the best outcome ought to be. So while you may use that as a visualization goal, as a symbol of an ideal experience or an outcome, you can’t insist on it. Use it to pump up the vibration. Because thinking about the idea of interacting that way with that energy, yeah, will get you excited. But don’t hold on to the picture. It might manifest that way, but it might not. So if you insist that this has to be the way it looks, you might actually be closing the door through which some other experience might come in that the higher mind would send you that would even be better than your physical mind imagined. Don’t close the door to the higher mind. Let it show you what it is that needs to manifest in the next moment. Because it’s not always about what you want. More importantly, it’s about what you need. What you need will fulfill you always. Sometimes your wants may coincide with your needs, but very often when you are brought up with all sorts of contradictory belief systems about what it is you think you need, that you say, “Well, I want this and if I only had that, everything would be as you say hunky dory,” you don’t know that for a fact. So the idea is to allow yourself to Simply relax into being given what you need, because that will always fulfill you. And many times your wants will not, if you’re going to insist on wanting. Want what you need.
Asker: it answered indirectly other questions. And thank you. I thank you on that. One final question as a closure: um, do humans can humans teleport? Especially their vehicles? Cuz I’ve had that happen to me one time. Yes. And I can’t figure out what what caused it.
Bashar: All right. You happen to be in the right state to give yourself that experience so that you could know that such things are possible. It doesn’t mean that has to happen again in that way. It might have only been to allow you to open your mind to know that such things are possible. But the real question is: are they relevant to happen again? Or is it something that gives you a marker in a sense to let you know that as you continue to expand your energy, such things might be experienced that way again, or differently? But the real secret is: you’re actually doing it already all the time. Because remember the idea of time… because remember the idea of evolving is not actually that you learn to do things you’re not doing already. Evolution is the growing awareness of what it is you’re already doing from a new point of view. Because when you talk about the idea of teleporting, you’re already in a sense doing that because you actually shift from parallel reality to parallel reality, to different versions of Earth, literally billions of times per second already. So all you did was allow yourself a moment of clear recognition that that’s what you were already doing. Asker: Definitely surprised me. And I know one thing was awesome: bypassing the stop lights. But uh, yeah. Bashar: The more aware you become that that’s what’s already happening, it’s more likely that you may experience it more consciously again. But you have to wrap your mind around the fact that you’re already actually doing it. You have to understand how this works when you create your reality experience. And when you understand the mechanism, then you’ll see that you’re already doing it. And when you know you’re already doing it, it’s much more likely that you will be able to consciously do it again. Asker: Right. Would I start to begin understand how it works? How this hurts? Bashar: Well, as we have said, everything exists all at once.
So if everything exists in the Here and Now, how is it that you create this concept of space and time and movement and change? How can you create a model that can express the idea of how that works? An analogy that exists in your reality is a film strip.
If you look at a strip of film that you use to watch your movies… yes, I understand you’re in your digital age, but nevertheless the analog illustration will work perhaps a little bit more clearly because there are still in a sense frames even in your digital world. But by illustrating it as a film strip, you can see the frames visually with your eyes. Each and every frame is a different reality, and each of those is Frozen. There’s no movement, no experience in any single frame. It’s just a snapshot. Now, in order to get the next movement, you run those frames through the projector and project them on a screen at a certain frame rate, and it gives you the illusion of movement, change, growth, expansion, space, time. That’s exactly what you’re doing with all the different parallel frames that exist simultaneously. Is you’re shifting your Consciousness, focusing your Consciousness through billions of frames per second to create this illusion of continuity, of movement, and time, and space, and change. You are literally skipping through frames. So if you understand you’re already doing that, you can also start to imagine that you could—and again, this is a euphemism, it’s just a helpful illustration, it’s not necessarily a literal description—but you can realize that what you could do when you know you’re skipping through frame after frame after frame after frame, is you could go into a vibrational state where you kind of start skipping frames. Well, I could put my Consciousness through frame one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Or I also could go Consciousness to frame one, Consciousness to frame 10. And now I have appeared to teleport without any intervening travel, without any intervening time. This is how we go from star to star in our ships. And then also explains how someone can just change the direction they want to go exactly. Because every moment is zero, and the vibration you are is the rudder that steers you through the frames you experience. So by acting on your passion and upping your vibration to be more representative of who you truly are, that’s the rudder that steers you through the frames that represent more and more and more and more reflective representations of the version of Earth that simultaneously already exists but is more representative of the changes going on within you. That’s how that works. So does that model work for you?
Asker: Yeah, yes. It actually really does. It explains a lot. All right. I don’t know who they are that fly over my house. Bashar: You don’t have to. They’re… if you need to, if you need to know, you will. Okay? Because remember the kit of passion is a complete kit and it leaves nothing relevant for you out. So if you really need to know, the situation will present the information to you in some way, shape, or form. If it never presents that information to you, that’s your first clue: you didn’t really need to know. Understood?
Business, Leadership, and Permission Slips
Asker: You good morning, Bashar. And you good day. At first, I just want to thank you for everything that uh you teach and just the frequency that you vibrate at. Bashar: Again, it is our passion and our pleasure. Asker: We spoke in 2014 in Sedona and what you talked to me about in regards to voices in your head was really profound. Oh, all right. And I want to thank you for that as well. I find myself just recently relocating here to the Bay Area and it’s interesting. Uh, I’m in the business world now and it really feels good. And it feels… you sound surprised. Bashar: I am. And I’m not sure why. I never thought that my trajectory would bring me to the business World. Asker: Well, what is the business you do? Asker: Uh, I collect data and I I help to train it out to people. Bashar: All right. And at this moment in your life, what is exciting about that for you? Asker: I get to meet with stakeholders. I get to hear their Vision. I get to understand their… what they want from the company. Bashar: So you are gathering different perspectives. Asker: I am. Actually, I find that I’m really good at that. And I guess I just didn’t know that I was really good at that until you allowed yourself to follow your passion and see where it led. Correct? Bashar: And this has never been a more defining moment about really actually understanding my passion than right now with you right here. And I’m really… that’s actually really clear.
Bashar: Yes. Well, that’s why we say you don’t necessarily have to start out with some overarching project or giant career path. You can start simply just by looking around at the different options available to you at any given moment. I could take a walk, I could read a book, I could have some food, I could talk to a friend, I could do this, I could do that. Which one has even just the tiniest bit more attractiveness and excitement connected with it than any other? That has the greater ability to be acted on? Just act on that first. And if you keep doing that step by step, it will start to build. It will start to expand. It will start to grow and may turn into larger Expressions. Although it doesn’t necessarily have to, because even if you’re always following your passion, even at that level—not meaning to diminish it—you’re still following your excitement. So who cares how expanded or contracted it may appear? Asker: Yes. Yeah. I I I absolutely can follow that. And I I was having this conversation with you this morning in regards to magnetism. And then when you opened up um your with uh your delivery of the Noles and and magnetism, it really helped me because I was magnetized to the Bay Area. And I’ve never lived in the Bay Area before. And I felt like a real Beacon of light lately in a in a company here in the Bay Area that’s under a lot of controversy right now. Bashar: Oh, all right. How exciting. Asker: I know, right? And so I had… I was really fine with that. And fine with it. How um, I was fine with them. Their mission literally had the word uh “disruptor” in it. They were a disruptor in in a certain market. So I thought, okay, cool, this is going to be an interesting ride.
Bashar: Yes. Because they’re using that word in their in their mission statement. All right. Asker: Well, uh, just I’ve just landed here a month and a half ago and things were really going well. There again, you sound surprised.
Asker: Is that just two days ago we’ve parted ways. Um, all right. They’ve had to uh do a sweeping layoffs. And and so now… where does your passion take you? Bashar: That is a really great question. Oh, thank you. Do you have a great answer? Asker: I I I really don’t, except for right here, right now. Bashar: Yes. You did. Thank you very much. Because obviously you are here and now, so obviously your passion took you here for the moment. When this is done, your passion will take you wherever it appears obvious that it should take you. Yes. And remember what I just said: simple steps are okay.
Asker: Yeah. I think we’re what’s happening right now is there’s this dissonance. It’s almost like a cognitive dissonance where yes, I felt so good in this place. May I stop you? Bashar: Yeah. Since we talked about the idea that you were gathering information and different perspectives, yeah, now that you have created a scenario that you have ousted yourself from that particular moment, how can you use what you gathered and what you learned in another way? Asker: Yeah. I actually heard you say that when we were talking on a I don’t know what level, but on obviously a different level. Um, and so do you have an answer for that? Bashar: I don’t. Are you sure? Where’s your imagination? Is it in a box somewhere? Open the box. How can you use what you have gathered in another way?
Asker: I feel like I almost need at this point when I’m tapping in like vibrationally cuz I really have been getting that idea and understanding of really lifting my frequency. And it started to really lift when I was there because I was meeting with VPs and EVPs and one turned to me and said, “I don’t know if I can keep up with you.” And I went, wow, I’m actually have a huge amount of leadership ability. Like, if there’s a reflection in front of me that I’m… is that another step for you? Or is the information you have gathered sufficient for you to actually start your own business?
Bashar: I feel like… I feel like I’d like to be uh, the way my nature works and how I work, I feel like I’m more wired to actually be Stepped back into another business Arena but be more leader.
Bashar: Yes. In it. Absolutely. So that’s the next step for you. Yes, it is. But there’s a hesitancy with it. I heard the hesitancy. And I feel like because I feel like there’s almost a need for a permission slip to step into that next reality. And I don’t really understand what kind of a permission slip… do you believe you need?
Asker: I feel like there’s a lot of perhaps doubt or there’s some lingering T… and what is doubt?
Bashar: Doubt is a 100% trust in something you don’t prefer.
Bashar: So why are you trusting something you don’t prefer? Remember, you never lack trust. Doubt is not a lack of trust.
Asker: I actually think I do lack trust.
Bashar: You can’t. You can have an experience of lacking trust, but you’re trusting that. Oh, wow. Okay. See what I’m saying? Asker: Yeah. That’s actually a really cool way to reframe that. That’s the power of paradox. You can feel out of control but you’re controlling that. You can feel like you lack confidence but you’re confident about that. Bashar: [Laughter] You can create an experience that you lack trust, but you’re trusting that. Asker: I really love talking with you because this is something that I’ve really needed to get down to the to the core of, which is just that Paradox. So if I can trust the untrust, why couldn’t I trust the trust? Exactly. What’s the difference? The universe doesn’t care one way or the other. It’s going to support you unconditionally. So whatever you say goes. So I’m still wondering what’s going on with needing a permission slip to step into a really powerful… don’t judge it. Bashar: Ro, if you have a belief system that says a permission slip will work for you, then use one. Asker: And how do I go about using I don’t I guess… imagination? What feels like a good permission slip in your imagination? If you could have any kind of a permission slip that seems relevant in your reality, what would it be? Would you jump up and down 50 times? Would you drink five glasses of water a day? Would you create some sort of a ceramic out of clay? Would you paint a picture of a reality of yourself being a leader? Would you sing songs about your power? Would you adopt a turtle? What kind of a permission slip seems attractive to you? Asker: You are just a great friend. I feel like a permission slip that I could Vibe with would be um one that’s really off-the-wall, but the other one is something that comes naturally to me, which is visualization. Bashar: That’s fine. Just remember how to use it in the way that we talked. Use the visualization to pump you up to the excited state and then drop the picture. Because that’s how you get yourself into the state to receive what actually needs to come from the higher mind. Now, sometimes it may look very similar to the picture that you conjured up, but very often it may not. So don’t insist on it. Use the visualization for its actual purpose: a symbol to pump you to the correct state of being, state of excitement, that makes it more easy for you to receive what the higher mind can then actually give you that will work better for you, whether you know it or not, no matter how it looks. Asker: And I really heard that. I think where I get caught up up to this point is using that visualization. And you were really emphatic about then dropping it so that you can allow whatever needs to unfold. And I feel like I use that visualization up to this point in certain ways um almost in a controlling manner factor to um… and I hang on to that visualization without dropping it.
Bashar: That’s because you don’t understand that your physical mind has no idea what actually needs to happen.
You’re still operating off the thing you’ve been taught that the negative ego uses to say: “I have to be in control. I have to know everything that’s going to happen exactly in the way I see it or something is wrong. I’m out of control if it doesn’t happen that way.”
You have to get into a state of humbleness enough to know that you actually have no clue what’s best for you, but your higher mind does. So why not take the burden off your shoulders, off your poor stressed out little ego, and stop demanding it do a job it’s not designed to do? Let the higher mind do its job. Work together. Understand that the physical mind, the physical ego—we’ve used this analogy before—is nothing more than a diving mask. If you’re going to dive under the ocean, things are going to look a little murky because you’re not used to that environment. It may not be as clear as the air. So what you do is you put on a diving mask that allows you to have Clear Vision while you’re down there in that physical reality ocean. But that’s the job of the diving mask. The diving Mask doesn’t have the job of saying, “Well, now I think you should go over here and look at that fish. Oh, now you should go over here and look at that fish.” No. You decide that. The diving mask, the physical mind, the physical ego, just makes it possible to see whatever you decide to do more clearly. That’s it. That’s its job. It has no other job. It doesn’t get to decide where you should go or what should happen next. It’s not designed to do that. If you put that kind of pressure on the diving mask to tell you, “Well, what should I do next? What should I look at next? Tell me, tell me, tell me,” that kind of pressure will crack the diving mask. And that’s when it becomes the negative ego. Oh, all right. All right, go there, go here. I guess you want me to tell you what to do. That’s not my job, but I guess you’re forcing me to do it that way, so I’ll do it to my best, but it’s going to drive me nuts because it’s not my job. And then the physical mind goes insane and usually allows something to happen because now your vision is cracked, so you can’t really see clearly where you’re going. So suddenly you go, “Oh, all right, I’ll go that way,” and off a cliff you go. And you do that because in a sense, the physical mind in its subconscious compartment knows: “If I show her a direction and she falls off a cliff, it will finally bring everything back to zero.” That’s how it works. Don’t get to the point where you have to fall off a cliff to understand that it’s not the job of your physical mind to tell you exactly what should happen or where to go. The higher mind guides you through passion. That’s the thread, that’s the light that illuminates the path that is yours. The feeling of passion that attracts you to do this now and do that now. The physical mind just gets to go along for the ride and enjoy it. That’s enough. So if you finally get to the point where you understand that insistence actually prevents something from happening that could be better than your physical mind imagined, you will stop limiting yourself. You will stop insisting that the physical mind’s picture has to be it. You will know that that’s a limitation you don’t prefer. All this comes down to just understanding how this works.
It’s up to you to decide what does work for you. And ultimately realize you are the best permission slip because you’re making the changes anyway. The permission slip isn’t doing it for you. The permission slip just aligns with your belief system to allow you to circumvent your belief system. Someone thought that was funny. And it is. It’s hilarious from our point of view.
Asker: So I I as I’m navigating now in a it feels like a new territory where I’m realizing uh what I’m really good at and and having other people… I felt like a beacon of light. So I yes.
Asker: And it felt really good. Well G, I wonder why. And now all of a sudden I I feel like when I start to I I can understand the languaging of the higher self and then I understand the languaging of a human, of the human being in your opening. Yes. I think what happens is I can hear the higher self very clearly now. What is happening is I start to effort rather than do. Why I’m not sure why.
Bashar: But well, that’s the moment to stop. Not rush ahead. Stop and use that moment to find out what the belief system is that you’re holding on to that makes it seem like you have to effort instead of do. That’s what that moment is for. Don’t avoid it. Don’t rush ahead. Don’t leave it behind. When those things come up, the thing to do is stay there with it and figure out why it came up. Remember, one of the tools in the kit of passion is the reflective mirror that reveals to you anything within your belief system that is out of alignment with your passion so that you can recognize it for what it is and let it go and bring that energy back into alignment with your passion. So the point is, and again the Paradox is: as you’re acting on your passion, discovering something within your self that is not representative of your excitement is part of your excitement, not an interruption in it.
Asker: And I I I I understand that one as well. I think what’s going on is I don’t know that when I’m actually doing or efforting. You can’t tell the difference. I think I’m always efforting.
Bashar: Then what do you imagine just doing would feel like that’s different?
Asker: Um, I can hear myself saying I just would like to have this next incredible leadership role fall into my lap.
Bashar: Well, it will. But what makes you think that there isn’t something you need to do or learn to do that is a challenge but doesn’t have to be experienced as effort in the negative sense?
Asker: I think because I haven’t experienced anything and just being chill and doing rather than like full-on 150% efforting. I haven’t had a touchstone to know that. Almost like that middle ground of hearing the higher self.
Bashar: How did you come to this meeting today? Literally, how did you come here physically?
Asker: Um, Uber.
Bashar: Uber? Is that a friend of yours? How much effort did that take?
Asker: Actually, it was not any effort at all. In fact, I was thinking of what’s wrong with that as an example of just doing.
Bashar: You have these examples in your life all over the place. Don’t you see them? Perhaps you’re under the assumption that it’s supposed to feel like effort, when in fact, when you’re actually in your flow, it does feel like you’re not doing anything, even if you are doing something. So maybe your definition is not allowing you to understand that you have many examples in your life, even ones as simple as that, where you are in fact just doing something without any effort at all. But you’re not recognizing that you’re doing it because the effort is absent. And you’re making a link between those two: “If I’m not efforting, I’m not doing.” Yet you just said you did something without effort. So it can’t be that hard.
Asker: I think when I finally when I when I let that what you’ve just said really sink deep, that it will really be the… I want to ask you a question now. May I?
Bashar: Yes, of course.
Asker: Why did you just say what you said? When I really let that sink in really deep…
Bashar: Why should it take that much effort? Why not?
Asker: I get it. I just get it.
Bashar: Why does it have to sink in deeply for you to get it?
Asker: It almost brought tears to my eyes. I don’t have a a good answer for that.
Bashar: That’s all right. I’m not suggesting that you must have it now, but ponder that. Because in what we just said is your freedom. All right? I don’t mean you have to ponder it right now.
