Rising from the Ashes

This transmission is appropriate for the area in which we are transmitting this information, named Phoenix after the idea of your legendary bird who lives according to your legends for anywhere from five hundred to one thousand years, and then creates for itself a nest that it ignites and sets itself on fire, consuming itself utterly in the flames and transforming itself, reducing itself to ash—but from which, within that ash, a new egg, a new hatchling, a new version of itself rises, renews, and thus then again lives for another five hundred to one thousand of your years.

Being the symbol of rebirth, the symbol of renewal, the symbol of eternity, but the symbol also of cycles. The idea being that while there may seem to be repetition, it is not exactly that—you come back to the same place again and again, but it is a spiral ever expanding, so that even though you may make a full circuit, it is always just a little bit different, taking with you the accumulation of all of your previous experience and applying that to the new cycle, so that you begin the new cycle in a different state, slightly offset, and continue those cycles over and over again, constantly spiraling, never exactly in the same place twice, forever and ever and ever, but constantly changing, constantly shifting, constantly expanding, constantly renewing, constantly becoming new, constantly learning, constantly growing, constantly becoming more and more and more of who and what you truly are as a consciousness, as a being, as an entity, as a spirit on all levels, including physical, as you progress through the understanding and idea of the path you chose to experience, of the themes you chose to explore in your lives.

Letting Go of Old Beliefs

With respect to the idea not only of your individual paths but also of your collective agreements, the concept of rising from the ashes is not only about the idea that we have just discussed, but is also connected simultaneously—in order to move forward, in order to expand—with the letting go of those things, those ideas, those concepts that no longer work for you, that no longer resonate within you harmoniously with your core self.

Rising from the ashes is all about allowing those old beliefs, those old definitions, those old ways of doing things, those old behaviors, those old thoughts, those old feelings in a sense to ignite and to reduce to ashes, to form the soil, if you will, the fertilizer, if you will, for your rebirth, from which you will arise clean, renewed, refreshed, with new understandings, new perspectives, new definitions, new beliefs, new feelings, new thoughts, new actions, totally new personalities with totally new behaviors in each cycle in which you allow yourself to experience this reducing to ashes and rising from them and rebirth.

You reinvent yourself over and over and over again, always in a new way, shifting from reality to reality, allowing yourself to truly be the light that shines through the eyes of countless personality beings.

In much the same way that the light of a projector flashes through the frames of a film, illuminating the idea, the experience, the illusion of movement, of space, of time, of change in order to add that experience of change to your total being, so that you can understand and experience directly the mechanism of creation itself in all the ways that you can experience it eternally, infinitely through a variety of forms that you will take even beyond this incarnation.

But you have to begin somewhere. You have to take the first step.

The Threshold of the New Age

As you have now been entering your new age, you can use what has come before. You can use what no longer serves you as the fertile soil from which to rise, from which to spring anew, to lay a foundation for you to stand upon, so that in the next cycle you will be standing higher than you were before.

With each cycle, laying a new foundation, a new brick to the tower, to allow you to continue to rise and rise and rise from and upon the ashes of your former experience, your former understanding, your former perception, your former lives.

Even within this life, you have countless lives because you’re always changing, always renewing, always letting go, always forming in a sense a chrysalis that allows you to emerge as the new butterfly again and again and again in new ways.

Rising from the ashes is all about paying attention to the old ideas that no longer serve you, the old definitions. It is very important now in this crossing of the threshold, in this new age of awareness, to allow yourselves as part and parcel of this process to truly look at the definitions you have been holding on to.

We are not even just talking about the idea of negative definitions within you on a personal basis, but also simply of the general definitions that your society uses to define things in your reality, especially with regard to the idea of metaphysical topics that are simply now outdated definitions that don’t work anymore.

It is all about allowing yourselves to realize new definitions that are more harmoniously aligned and in sync with those things that you relate to as metaphysical concepts, but can give new definitions to that will allow them to reveal themselves more streamlined to you, more simply to you, so that you can use them more effectively.

All these concepts, all these tools that we have discussed, all these tools you have been aware of for thousands and thousands of your years, but perhaps have defined in ways that perhaps are a little bit misleading, a little bit confusing, that do not provide clarity of what is actually happening in those metaphysical mechanisms that you think you are using in a certain way, but in fact are actually using in a completely different way.

We have to some degree discussed these concepts before, these differences in definition, but now is the time—in moving forward, in crossing this threshold, in your new age of awareness, in your splitting prism of 2012—more importantly than ever before, it is very important to come up with precise, clean, simple, clear definitions of metaphysical mechanisms so that you can use them without confusion, use them easily on a day-to-day basis, use them with familiarity, use them most importantly of all with true understanding.

Because when you have true clear understanding of the core mechanisms that you define as metaphysics, you will be able then to relate any circumstance and situation, any other concept, to that core structure, and you will see that whatever fits that core structure is All-That-Is needed for you to understand, and whatever does not fit in that new framework, that new core structure, doesn’t work for you and can be released, can be let go of, can be ignited and reduced to ashes to form the part of the new soil, the new foundation from which you will rise and upon which you will stand, gaining higher perspectives, higher sights, clearer vision, broader view to take you farther and farther and farther on your journey, deeper and deeper and deeper into your true natural self.

You all must in that sense become the true representation of the Phoenix, to take on that characteristic, that willingness to ignite and reduce to ashes those old ideas and let them fall away, so that you can be in that sense lighter, free to fly with new understanding, free to understand with clarity from a Phoenix’s point of view, high in the sky, looking down upon the old realities and seeing what used to be, and seeing the difference between what you need and no longer relate to.

All that will be left will be simpler, less than you used before. You will carry less with you as you move higher and higher into those realms of understanding, in a sense stripping yourself down, stripping yourself free of all those things that you may have picked up along the way that are from others in your society, from others in your family, from others that have shared with you, offered you old ideas that may have once worked but no longer do.

You can be free as the Phoenix to let go of those things that don’t belong to you, so they do not weigh you down, so that you are capable of flying freely.

Honoring Your True Self

You can know that it is in no way shape or form a dishonor to do so, a dishonor to anyone. You are not in any way shape or form dishonoring your parents by letting go of beliefs they may have bequeathed to you when you were growing up that no longer serve you as an adult. It is in fact just the opposite—you honor them by being yourself truly, finding yourself truly, breaking through the shell of the egg that rises from the ashes and being renewed, refreshed, and allowing yourself to truly, truly represent the next generation of understanding, the next generation of consciousness, the next generation of perspective and ideas that will take you and the entire society of which you are a part much, much further in its ability to have insight, in its ability to see more broadly, and its ability to see more clearly, and its ability to see more precisely, and in its ability to understand these ideas that propel you forward.

These are simple ideas without the need for any further complications, without the need for adding difficulty. You will always, always have challenges in your life, but these can be exciting, these can be uplifting, these can be freeing, these can be expanding. They will never weigh you down as long as you are willing as a being, as a Phoenix, to approach them, to fly to them.

As you fly up toward the sun, being more and more illuminated, more and more enlightened, to see more clearly with brighter light, with clearer light—all the things you could not see before because you were not willing to let go of those things that cast a shadow over your eyes, not willing to let go of those definitions that blinded you in a sense from the light.

Willing in now to let go of those things that are representative of the dark clouds that obscure the clarity, obscure the light—the light of consciousness, the light of awareness, the light of being, the light of spirit, the light of your true self.

Free to fly in that light, in that state. Be that being, be that Phoenix, and rise, rise, rise from the ashes.

New Definitions: Beyond “Supernatural”

Let us look at some of the older definitions. Let us see how new understanding and new definitions can take their place, and how those new definitions can provide lightness, clarity, freedom, malleability, flexibility, and true understanding and true experience of your power, your self-empowerment to create the reality experience you truly prefer.

In your journey, in arriving at this point over thousands of your years, you have experienced the idea, you have known that certain kinds of senses exist that you have termed “extrasensory.” But you can now begin to understand—you no longer need to refer to them as “extra.” They are part of your arsenal, they are part of your kit, they are your tools, they are your senses. They have always been there. It is simply that in holding yourself back with definitions that limit you, that don’t work for you, you have created the illusion, the experience of disconnection and separation from these very natural senses that are not any way shape or form “extra,” but completely a part of who and what you are in a very natural way.

Even your ideas and definitions of death can change in a manner to allow you the freedom to use those senses to reach out with those senses, to perceive with those senses things that have been heretofore invisible to you, only because you thought of these things as beyond you, as “extra,” as things that are extraordinary, not normal, not natural, “supernatural.”

But they are not. Lose that definition now. Let go of that definition. Now there is nothing that is “supernatural” in that sense of the term.

We understand that there will always be experiences that may at any given moment be on a different plane, be in a different frequency, beyond a different vibratory level than what may be relevant for you to experience depending upon the experience that you are having. But that does not make them supernatural in the sense that they are beyond nature, that they are somehow unnatural, outside of nature.

Nothing, nothing is outside of nature. Nothing is outside of creation.

In the way that people on your planet have used the term “paranormal” or “supernatural,” in many ways those terms no longer serve you. These things, these perceptions, these abilities are natural—a part of your nature, your true nature. By being your true nature and rising from the ashes as the Phoenixes that you are, you will be able to see and perceive that these senses have always been with you, always been within you.

You are connected to far more than you have previously imagined. You’ll be capable of perceiving far more than you previously could—but not because you have gained extra senses, not because you have become supernatural, only because you have actually acknowledged and owned the senses that are yours and acknowledged and owned your true nature.

By becoming more natural will you experience connection to these senses. By becoming more natural will you be capable of perceiving into these other realms in different vibratory states that were heretofore invisible to you.

It is all about becoming your true natural self, not about imbuing yourself with supernatural powers that are beyond or extra or in addition to your true nature. These things are representative of your true nature, are reflective of who and what you are as a consciousness, as an entity, as a being. It is your natural birthright, in a sense, if you wish to put it that way. It is simply part of the kit.

All you have to do is look more deeply into the owner’s manual, and you will see that all of these accessories have always been there—and they are not really accessories at all. They are truly part of the original design.

The Phoenix Colors: Crimson and Gold

In rising from your own ashes, in letting go of those things that no longer serve you and letting them blow away on the wind to become your new self, your new Phoenix self, you will begin to experience this natural state more and more. The more you let go of definitions that don’t work, the more you let go of definitions that create the illusion and experience of disconnection or separation or something beyond you, the more you will incorporate the experience and experience the incorporation of the things that have always been part and parcel of you in a more holistic way.

Your outer reflected reality illusion will reflect these things back to you by allowing you to perceive more of those things, more of those dimensions, more of yourself, because you are the dimension you are perceiving. It is an aspect, it is a reflection, it is an expression of your greater self. All you’re doing by diving and flying into the unknown is discovering more and more of the expanded consciousness that you have always been and always will be and are right now.

Let us examine more deeply the symbol, the representation of the Phoenix. Most often, again as an archetypal symbol, it is depicted as this bird and contains the colors more often than not of scarlet and gold—crimson and gold, however you wish to express this.

Let us look also then at what is representative of those colors within the elemental realms. Since this is an archetypal energy, archetypal vibrations will have corresponding frequencies in the elemental realms. The two that stand out most strongly—in fact, almost the only elements that express any kind of color at all—express the color red and gold: copper and gold.

Thus then you can see that even in the elements is the expression, is the vibration of those colors that are representative of renewal and rebirth. If you thus then even create any artifact, especially those that are representative of cycles such as a ring, out of a mix of copper and gold, you are actually creating a Phoenix resonance, a Phoenix artifact, a Phoenix archetypal symbol that resonates to the vibrational frequency of that symbol, of that rebirth, of that renewal, of that letting go.

If you feel that this permission slip of creating a ring of copper and gold will be of some assistance in reminding you to generate that frequency, that Phoenix frequency, within you, by all means use your own wherewithal, your own devices, your own abilities, your own resources and imagination to create such a permission slip.

Again, it is given to you that almost no other elements in the natural elements have color at all, and yet the two primary ones that do have striking color are the color of the Phoenix—crimson and gold. Take advantage of that frequency as it is given to you to elevate yourselves to the frequency that is represented by the combination of the two.

As we said at the beginning of this transmission, it is more than the two in coming together, more than the sum of the two, and creates a new third level, a new third vibrational reflective reality, a reflection of a reality that is representative of the Phoenix vibration of rising from the ashes, of renewal and rebirth.

This is what was created in Atlantean times that was known by the name of Orach or Aurum—was the mixture of copper and gold. Sometimes they threw in a little bit of silver as a uniting element, a uniting force for the representation of the clear light that is representative of the blending of the two, of the red and the gold into the clear light represented by silver.

Again, instinctively many of you have combined these metals into rings—copper, gold, silver is quite common as a representation of a ring of jewelry on your planet. It is no accident. It isn’t just because they’re pretty. It is because they represent this vibration of renewal, upliftment, letting go, and represent the third new reality, the reflective reality that is more than the combination of the two—of the scarlet, of the crimson and the gold.

The silver clear light that is the result of the blending of those two frequencies as they come together to create an upliftment and a renewal of spirit, of insight, of flight, of ability, of awareness, of awakening, of freedom.

Freedom through fire—through igniting your passion, igniting your dreams, igniting that frequency, igniting the nuclear fires that transform and transcend to a new level of awareness, a new reality, a new dimension of experience that allow you to accelerate forward very rapidly.

Again, this is simply a permission slip, but if it gives you reminder, if it gives you the ability to give yourself permission to generate this frequency, this Phoenix frequency, then by all means don’t hesitate to acquire or to create such a device.

The Phoenix City and Ancient Spirits

Even in depictions of art can you do this in creating a reflective permission slip frequency. In all the depictions of the Phoenix that have existed throughout your history, it is again no accident that many what you call secret societies use this symbol.

In reality, even though you may think that upon your currency is the symbol of the eagle, it is actually the symbol of the Phoenix, for again it is the rising from the ashes. Even the city that you are in was named Phoenix because it is built from the ashes of the old cultures that existed in the desert before you—those indigenous and native cultures, the Hohokam.

The Hohokam vibration still exists within your location. You can call upon the Hohokam spirits and the Kachina spirits to aid and assist you in tapping in to the Phoenix vibration, the rising of the ashes. Allow yourself to connect to whatever it is that works for you.

Meditation: Breathing in the Phoenix Frequency

By letting go of older definitions, no longer is this existence “supernatural.” No longer in a sense is it “paranormal.” No longer in a sense is it even “metaphysical.” It is your new reality—fourth density physicality—and it is natural, and it is your true state, your true state of being.

Feel the vibration with every breath you take. Breathe it in deeply. Breathe it in now. Take a deep breath, and with every breath out, you know you are letting go of the ashes of the old, the ashes of that which no longer serves you, the ashes of bygone days.

The ashes float away on the wind, are dissolved and absorbed back into creation to be renewed, reused, reconfigured, retransfigured, retransformed again and again, again and again, again and again in cycles without end, eternally, infinitely.

The Phoenix is the bird of creation, the symbol of renewal, the symbol of rebirth, the symbol of immortality, of eternity, of infinity through endless cycles of new experience, of recreation, of redefinition, of reinvention.

Reinvent yourselves. You have every right to do so. You have every ability to do so. Now that you know that all of these things you have termed metaphysical, paranormal, and supernatural are simply normal and natural and physical and part of your legacy and part of your existence and part of your path and part of your right and part of your experience and part of your theme.

You are the Phoenix rising from the ashes, individually and collectively. You burn bright. Don’t be afraid to burn as bright as can, for only in the brightest fire will you burn away, as a crucible, all those things that no longer serve you. Only by allowing the brightest of lights will you dispel the shadows and see truly.

Allow yourself to be that bright light. Do not be afraid of the fire. Your true essence is indestructible and can never ever be burnt or destroyed. But all that will fall away, All-That-Is not you, will be reduced to ashes and form the cement and the firmament and the foundation for All-That-Is to come. They are the stepping stones—the ashes create the stepping stones that will lead you to the next and the next and the next version of yourself.

Do not fear the light. Do not fear the fire. Do not fear the fear. Let it burn through you and out of you, and be free—truly free to be who you really are.

Take a deep breath in and let it out, feeling renewed, refreshed, energized. Take a deep breath in and let it out, and let go of those things that have nothing to do with who you know yourself to be. Take a deep breath in and let it out, and know that with every breath you enter a new chapter, you write a new chapter of your exploration, your expedition, your journey of discovery of yourself, of life, of creation, of light, of being.

And this will never end. Joy is yours forever.

Allow yourselves to continue to breathe easily, calmly, but feel that fire burning within. Allow it to expand and fill every cell, every atom, every subatomic particle, every aspect of your being—your spirit, your soul. Feel it extending outward, the rays of a star with the Phoenix at the center, burning bright and yet unconsumed, even though reduced to ashes, renewed and unconsumed in the light of forever.

In the Phoenix frequency that allows you to know that you are eternal, that you live in the now, in the total present, more and more, allowing more and more of what is to manifest in the new reality you are creating yourself to be, in the new vibration you are creating yourself to experience yourself to be.

The Light and the Dark in Balance

It is all about frequency. It is all about resonance. From the Phoenix frequency, you can rise from anything. No matter what you experience, as you define everything in your life to have meaning in a positive way, you will use that Phoenix frequency to allow yourself to rise from anything and everything that you may have heretofore labeled in a negative way but no longer need to, for it no longer serves you.

It cannot exist in the fire of the Phoenix frequency—that which does not belong to you, that which is out of alignment, that which is out of harmony with your true core vibration cannot survive the fire of the Phoenix frequency and is reduced to ash and blows away, and you are left—just you. Clean, fresh, renewed, uplifted, light, at peace, at one with All-That-Is.

Feel yourself stretch—your neck up to the sun, up to the heavens, up to the stars. Feel yourself spread your golden crimson wings out to the sides, stretching, stretching, renewing and renewed. Feel your tail feathers spread wide to guide and steer you, an unerring oar in the currents and eddies of the energy of All-That-Is, so that you float freely on an uplifting wind, on an uplifting current, rising higher, spiraling higher, ever higher, ever heavenward, ever starward, ever up and up and up into the pure clear light of All-That-Is.

Ride the waves as the Phoenix, ride the currents, floating freely, free to be, free to fly.

Breathe. Breathe and breathe.

Now, in that energy, in that vibration, in that Phoenix frequency, look deep within yourself and find one fearful definition, one negative definition that has been a theme for you in your life. Pluck that dark little definition like a dark little ball, a dark little core, a dark little seed. Pluck it up in your talons and deposit it in the nest that you have built on top of the stone, the fire stone.

Imagine a slab of stone upon which you have built a nest of twigs. Deposit from deep within yourself—grab, clutch with your Phoenix talon reaching in through your solar plexus or in through your heart or in through your throat or in through your head or any place within your body that seems most representative of where you’ve been holding on to that dark little seed of fear, that dark little seed of negativity, that dark idea that no longer serves you, that doesn’t belong to you, that is out of alignment.

Pluck it out. Examine the dark little seed. Place it in the nest on top of the fire stone. Rest upon the nest as a bird will do. Settle in and feel your connection to the nest around you, and feel your connection—as you have created it—to that dark little seed that you are nesting upon.

Feel the connection all the way through the seed, through the nest, to the fire stone, the slab underneath you. However it needs to appear to you.

Allow your essence, allow your intention to flow from you through your body into the nest, into the seed, into the fire stone. Allow the fire stone to ignite, allow the nest to ignite, allow the seed to explode and ignite, allow your body to ignite, allow it all upon the fire stone—twigs of the nest, husk of the seed, body of the Phoenix—to ignite in flame and conflagration, in the crucible of fire.

Allow the fear to burn through you and out. Allow yourself to reduce all of it to ashes upon the stone. Dark gray ashes upon the stone, turning to white ash upon the stone, a pile of white ash.

And as it becomes white, it sloughs away, blows away, and as it blows away, it reveals upon that stone an egg—a clear, clean, beautiful, pristine egg. And in that egg begins a first little crack as a piece of shell falls away, and another and another as the crack widens, and the beak of the Phoenix—the new Phoenix—pokes through, breaks through, and the eggshell shatters and falls away in tiny little pieces upon the fire stone, and the eggshell evaporates, leaving a fresh new Phoenix in crimson and gold.

Clear of eye, bright of feather, sharp of talon, sharp of sight, sitting upon that stone. Looking within with the clear sight, looking within and seeing that that dark seed that was plucked out no longer exists.

There may be others that still reside in the new Phoenix, but one by one you can use this permission slip of the Phoenix frequency to pluck them out, to put them in a nest on the fire stone, to sit upon that nest and to ignite and reduce to ashes one by one those seeds of discontent, those seeds of negative vibration, of negative frequency, those seeds of fear, those seeds of misalignment, those seeds of discord, those definitions that do not serve you.

Ignite them so that they explode and evaporate and are gone upon the wind, along with the ashes from which you rise anew, with no such seed within you anymore. For no such seed now exists in your reality. No such seed can exist at the heights that the Phoenix can reach. It cannot survive.

For if you fly on those currents high above, those seeds can never reach you—weighed down by their darkness, weighed down by their negativity, weighed down by the fear. Those seeds now belong to another reality long gone. They are history. They belong to someone else who is gone with the ashes and gone with the wind.

Rise above. Rise above. Stretch your wings and rise to the stars. Ride the Phoenix frequency. It will carry you far. It will carry you where you need to be, always in perfect timing, always in perfect joy, always in perfect harmony, always in perfect peace. Ride the waves of the Phoenix frequency and rise from your ashes.

Take a deep breath in and make this truth your own. Know that it is part of your vibration—completely natural, completely physical, completely normal, completely you. Nothing extra about it, nothing para about it, nothing meta about it. It is you in your natural state, your core vibration, the true essential you forever.

The Phoenix—cycles upon cycles, renewal upon renewal, rebirth upon rebirth—forever and ever, without end, without beginning, always in the now, always renew, always changing yet always you.

As you become more and more and more of All-That-Is, that experience will be experienced from your point of view. This is true for every single being in creation. As you blend with All-That-Is, you become All-That-Is and realize there never has been anything but you. You are all that you have ever interacted with, and All-That-Is is all that you are.

It is the ultimate Phoenix, constantly rising from its own ashes within itself, constantly renewing itself, constantly becoming and being all that it is, constantly experiencing itself from a new perspective, always one and never the same, and yet All-That-Is eternally and infinitely.

Be the Phoenix, because you are the Phoenix. Give in, let go, surrender to your freedom to be. Surrender to your freedom to fly.

Freezing Light: The Nature of Existence

Take a deep breath in and feel the energy, the flame that will always reside within your core and can never ever be extinguished. The flame is the essence of your being, that is your nature—the flame of illumination is who you are. Let it shine brightly. Let it be the eternal flame of truth, the eternal flame of freedom, the eternal flame of knowledge.

Let go of old definitions that tie you to fear. Let go of your conspiracies. Let go of your fears. They do not serve you and keep you anchored to a reality you do not exist in naturally. Let go, for they have nothing to do with you. No matter what anyone else’s intention is, it has nothing to do with you if it is not harmonious with the vibration of your true core self.

Fear not. Worry not. Let it go. Be at peace.

Take a deep breath in and let it out. Take another deep breath in and let it out. Take another deep breath in and let it out, and be at peace in the Phoenix frequency.

As you take a short break, know that you do not fall back to the Earth that was there before. You may float like a feather and land on a branch for a while, but it will be a branch of a tree on an Earth that is new, in a new reality that is representative more and more of the Phoenix frequency. You will know that you truly have risen from the ashes of the old, and that that seed of fear no longer resides and can never reside in the flame at your core.

Interaction

Let us take what has already been delivered to you in the idea of looking at your definitions—the definitions that are out of alignment with your truth, the definitions that no longer work for you. Let us focus on the idea that as you ask your questions either of us or of others or of yourselves, that you pay attention to what you’re saying, that you listen to how you are framing things, how you are phrasing things. Recognize that very often in the way you ask the question, you will see that you are holding on to, locking on to beliefs and definitions that do not work for you.

If you pay attention to how you put forth these ideas, very often the answers to your questions are right there in the questions themselves—by just seeing what the definition is you’re using, paying attention to that, realizing, recognizing, becoming aware of the definitions you’re putting out and the reflections you’re getting back as a result. If you pay attention to those, you can very quickly clear up the ideas, recognize the ideas that you are seeking as being right there in the question itself.

Keep that in mind with these interactions you are now about to have with us, and let us see what we can do to help you let go of those ideas and definitions that are no longer relevant to the beings that you prefer to be.

Investment Fund & Economy

[Audience Member] We have put together an investment fund that is informed and based on life’s principles and inspired by spirit, by Constitution. The economy per se seems to me—and our definition of our economy as it is—seems to me some of the ashes that will be used as a foundation.

[Bashar] Yes, these systems will begin to change more rapidly and adapt to different forms. As you see yourself in new ways, so too will all the outer reflections in your economic and social and political and religious structures.

[Audience Member] We looked around in the room and we looked at each other and said, “My God, we are riding the wave. This is truly how we will look at and move into the next stage.” All right, thank you.

[Bashar] No, yes, it is. Thank you.

[Audience Member] I wanted to ask specifically how we can include native people in that.

[Bashar] Why are you asking us? Why not ask them?

[Audience Member] I always like your reflections.

[Bashar] I see. You will use your own imagination to attract the synchronicity that will bring you the opportunity to interact with them in whatever is the most appropriate way, and you will thus then from them receive the most appropriate response.

Spoon Bending

[Audience Member] I’ve recently learned how to bend spoons.

[Bashar] For what purpose? As long as you are not feeding your ego.

[Audience Member] Very true, and very important. It was incredible fun because it seemed to me that the fundamentals of how to manifest were there. You can really only put the intention with your mental body into the spoon. However, it isn’t until you let go and go into what was called the quantum being or in your heart that actually the material responds.

[Bashar] That’s one way to look at it. It’s still just a euphemism, it’s still just a symbol. That’s your expression of it, that’s your approach to it. There are many other ways to approach this idea and have that kind of an experience, but that’s one way.

[Audience Member] Could you give some examples or some further elaboration?

[Bashar] As we have said many times, you are manifesting all the time anyway. You don’t have to learn to manifest—you’re already manifesting. If you weren’t manifesting, you wouldn’t be having any kind of an experiential reality at all. So obviously you’re all manifesting something all the time.

It’s just a matter of readjusting your definition of the manifestations that are most relevant or most reflective for the state of being that you prefer to be.

Another way to look at it has actually already been very simply and very precisely said in one of the motion pictures that exists in your world called The Matrix. Many of you are already familiar with this. The approach they took in that particular piece of artwork was to simply recognize that the spoon bends when you realize there really actually is no spoon—it’s just an extension of your consciousness. So all you’re doing is altering the frequencies of your consciousness, and thus anything being a projection of your consciousness will reflect that alteration.

So that’s another way to look at it. There are many other ways to look at it.

Expanded Senses

[Audience Member] In the Phoenix exposition that you spoke of earlier, you talked about new senses that we would be using.

[Bashar] No no. We said that you all already have had these senses that you’re calling new. They’re not really new.

[Audience Member] They’re beyond the sight, hearing, sound, taste, smell.

[Bashar] Not really. They may be representative of different frequencies, but the idea really is that you’ve placed these filters and placed these limitations upon yourself for a variety of reasons. Now, in releasing these filters, you will allow yourself to let these senses as they naturally exist become more expanded. You will allow yourself to relax the filters and experience more of the senses that have always been there.

You may think of them as beyond the so-called normal senses, but they are simply the continuation of the spectrum. The spectrum has always been there—you’ve restricted yourself to what you call the visible spectrum. Now you will allow yourself to relax those filters so that you can realize that you’ve always had the ability to experience the so-called invisible spectrum as well. What was heretofore invisible will become visible to you when you relax those filters, when you relax those limitations.

[Audience Member] I was thinking about intuition being an expanded sense.

[Bashar] That’s always been with us, and of course it has. Many of you experience it from time to time. Obviously you allow yourselves to let those limitations relax when it suits you. For other people, they can see auras and that sort.

[Audience Member] What other examples besides the ones that I just mentioned could you give?

[Bashar] You will actually begin to sense space and time in a very different way. Many things that heretofore you did not necessarily have a way to describe, you will begin to experience and will have to invent new words for. You actually can have a sense of space and time beyond what you understand now. It can become more visceral, more tangible. It has a feeling experience, it even has a taste, it even has a smell, it even has a color, it even has a sound.

[Audience Member] Is there anything that we can do now that would develop our ability?

[Bashar]

Absolutely. Again, you must understand that we realize that this may seem to be very, very simple to many of you. You’ve heard us say this over and over again in a variety of ways: by acting on your highest joy every moment that you can, taking it as far as you can, and with zero expectation as to where it is that it’s going to take you, you will constantly be following the compass needle that points to your true magnetic north and constantly raising your vibratory frequency, and thus constantly expanding your ability to sense whatever it is you are thus then capable of sensing by creating that new state of being, that new frequency state.

Acting on your highest excitement to the best of your ability with zero expectation as to where it will lead is always the answer to how you can accelerate or expand any experience in your physical reality.

[Bashar] It’s simple, yes. Is it too simple? No, because we know how many humans on your planet love difficulty. Sometimes the most difficult thing is for them to realize how simple things are. But if you are willing to understand that even though creation is infinitely complex and rich, it isn’t in fact at all complicated, and it is very fundamentally simple—because if it wasn’t, it wouldn’t be able to support itself. It can’t be infinite if it was built on something complicated. It can only be infinite if it’s based on simple principles.
