Subsitute Teacher

The substitute teacher is you.

We will bring through a First Contact trainee from our civilization: a male child 10.5 years of age, but in your counting would be about 13.

This trainee has not yet chosen to have an incarnation on any planet that he may ultimately contact as a First Contact specialist. And because we are guiding this trainee, we have chosen your world for him to have his first interaction with.

When we do choose to make contact with a new civilization, we always also choose to experience at least one life in that civilization so that through that life experience we will have a deeper understanding and familiarity with that civilization so that we will not be too, shall we say, alien to one another.

But this trainee really has no knowledge of you, no understanding of your ways, your customs, your ideas, your concepts, your experiences. So this trainee will be asking questions of you first and foremost. Before we actually introduce this trainee, we will reverse the way in which these transmissions are usually done. The first part of this transmission, before what you call your lunch period, will be a question and answer period. We will then, after your lunch, introduce the trainee to you.

This is how this will go: During your lunch period, or sometime around before we resume this transmission with the trainee, you will coordinate, organize, and choose four other volunteers from the gathering who wish to come to you and volunteer to interact with the trainee, making yourself also the fifth one. Do you follow me? So that by the time we resume this transmission and introduce the trainee, there will be five people from your gathering who will interact with the trainee.

All right. Now, one of the reasons why we are introducing this trainee to you is not only for the purpose of allowing this child to gain some experience in their first interactions with other cultures, other civilizations, but also to give you an opportunity in being asked questions about your reality to see how much you know. Because one of the best ways to learn is to teach. Therefore, in the trainee asking the questions he will ask of you about your world and your ways, you get an opportunity to explain to someone who has no comprehension of them how things work on your world. There may be a little bit of confusion, but we will see how it goes. You may find yourself doing a lot more explaining than you think because even though many things seem very obvious and familiar to you in your reality, they are not so in other realities at all. And you may find some of that alienness leaking through from the trainee who really doesn’t understand what you have created on your world and how you go about experiencing your lives, because they are very different than the way that we experience life in our civilization on many levels. And though there are some similarities, we will see what bridges and links can be created when you are offered an opportunity to deal with an extraterrestrial being who is truly new to your ways.

But for now, we can begin with the questions and answers for those who volunteer to come up and ask what they may. We thank you for allowing us to reflect to you the knowledge that on some level of your being you already know, so that we now remind you that we are only reminding you of what already exists within you. But in remembering, in awakening in the dream of physical reality, thus you will experience more reality, thus you will experience more intention, more conscious manifestation, more manifestation, more joy in the lives that you have chosen to explore.

Question 1: Manifestation and the Law of Attraction

Audience Member: I have a question about manifestation and the Law of Attraction. Yes. Um, I’m about to hit my seventh decade, and there’s some things I would like to manifest in this lifetime.

Bashar: Why would you like to manifest certain things in this lifetime?

Audience Member: Um, just because I’ve had certain aspirations for many years.

Bashar: So what if they’re not relevant for this lifetime? Would that be okay if they don’t manifest?

Audience Member: Yes. Yes, but not really. Bashar: Um, you do understand the paradox here. You understand that in many ways, the things that you really need will always manifest exactly when and where and how you need them if you just move forward in your life in the most exciting way. Things during that life that do not manifest, you did not need. You understand? Audience Member: Yes. Yes. But sometimes I can think I need something, it’s like just a thought. Bashar: Yes. And so the manifestation is also just a thought. Yes. Sometimes the thought is all the manifestation you might need of a certain concept. It doesn’t always have to translate into a solid physical thing. However, do understand that manifestation, and as you pointed out, the Law of Attraction—it’s all about the things that already exist right here, right now, that are already part and parcel of your overall energy, your overall frequency. Manifestation is not bringing something from somewhere else to where you are. Manifestation is simply making visible what is already here but invisible. When you are a certain frequency, then you perceive things of the frequency that may have been here before, invisible to you. But once you match that frequency, then they become visible, and you call it a manifestation. But it’s always been here. It just may not be the correct timing, the appropriate timing for you to be that frequency and thus experience the result of the manifestation that has always been here.

And I remind you that in terms of the Law of Attraction, as you call it, the real deep understanding of the Law of Attraction is: you don’t actually have to ask for anything. You simply have to let the things in that are equal to your vibration. Because it’s not about really having to be the frequency to attract something; it’s about knowing that you already give off a signature vibration that is purely representative of who and what you are. And that everything that is in alignment with that pure vibration is doing its utmost to get to you. If it’s not getting to you, it’s not because you’re not attracting it; it’s because you’re keeping it away with your definitions, your beliefs. And anything that is not compatible with that vibrational frequency is doing its utmost to get as far away from you as it possibly can. If it’s not getting away from you, it’s because you’re holding on to it for some reason in your definitions and in your beliefs.

So the Law of Attraction, more accurately, more precisely expressed—rather than “well, I have to learn to become the frequency to attract what is me”—is actually more expressed in letting go of those things that are representative of the frequency that you’re not, and letting in those things that are representative of the frequency that you are. So it’s really about letting go and letting in, rather than having to learn to attract, because you’re already attracting with your pure frequency of your natural being everything that is representative of that. Digging down into your definitional belief systems and finding out what definitions may be holding those things at bay is actually the process that is necessary, rather than the process of having to learn to attract, which you do automatically all the time. You can’t help yourself; you’re a natural attractor.

Audience Member: Thank you. Bashar: Well, I mean, all of you. Therefore, allow yourself to relax into the knowledge and the understanding that if something is not showing up right now that is really absolutely necessary and relevant for your life, then there is either a positive or a negative reason for that. So your process is really to find out which one it is. If it’s a negative reason, then perhaps you can let go of those definitions and allow that which can manifest to come in more readily in a more accelerated way. If it is a positive reason why it hasn’t manifested yet in your life, then trust that process and trust the timing. For if it manifested at a point where you were not ready for it, you wouldn’t be capable of experiencing full appreciation of that manifestation, and you may need a little bit more experience in life before you will actually arrive at a place and be on the level of a frequency where you will fully be capable of utilizing that manifestation when it appears at the correct place and timing for your life. Does this make sense? Audience Member: Yes, very much so. Thank you. Does this help you? Audience Member: Yes, very much. Bashar: All right. Will that do? Audience Member: Yes. Thank you, Bashar.

Question 2: The Nature of Reality and Abundance

Audience Member: All right. Hi Bashar. Bashar: And you, good day. Audience Member: I’m so excited to talk to you. Bashar: We are excited to speak with you as well. Audience Member: Um, so I have a couple of questions. The main one is about the nature of reality. Which reality? My reality? Your physical experience of reality? Bashar: Um, yes. What about it? Audience Member: Well, in general, I guess, what we call reality, physical reality. Yes, is that what you mean? Bashar: Um, yes. Are you sure? Now you seem to be thinking it over. Audience Member: Um, well, I didn’t know there were different kinds of reality. Bashar: Of course there are. There is Spirit reality, other dimensional reality, temporal reality, all sorts of different kinds of reality experiences. Audience Member: Okay, so I mean the reality that I’m experiencing in this… um… physical. That’s what I said. That I am your physical reality. Okay. Uh, about that. Yes. What about it? Audience Member: Um, so how malleable is it? Bashar: Um, vary. Yeah, within certain parameters that have to do with your agreement with the mass consensus, but there is a great degree of flexibility. This is one of the things we will be addressing in more detail in the upcoming transmission we have called “Going Mad,” because “Mad” is “Mass Agreement Dissociation,” which will allow you more opportunity to understand the degree of flexibility you have relative to the mass consensus agreements and your individual agreements in relation and in context to it. But there’s a great degree of flexibility. Look at it perhaps in the following way: Are you familiar with the game on your planet called chess? Audience Member: Oh, yes. I just bought your CD. Bashar: All right. And so you understand that if you’re going to agree to play a game of chess, you’re going to agree to play on a certain kind of game board, and you’re going to agree to play by certain kinds of rules. Yes. Yes. Now, generally, you’re going to agree to play with certain kinds of pieces, but you don’t really have to play with the traditional pieces, do you? You could play with crystals, you could play with coins, you could play with jelly beans, couldn’t you? As long as the person you’re playing with agrees as to what those coins, crystals, or jelly beans represent—the Kings, the Queens, the Bishops, the pawns, the knights, and so on and so forth. You understand, then you can play with anything you want. So you have the degree of flexibility of saying, “All right, I’ll agree with the mass consensus definition of the game of chess and use the standard board and use the standard rules, but I have the flexibility to play with whatever pieces I want, and I have the flexibility to play in many ways however I want based on my experience, based on my learning, based on my intuition.” Audience Member: Yes. Well, what am I? Am I a chess piece, or is the whole game? Bashar: You are both. You are the player and the piece being played, because your higher mind and your physical mind combine to form a whole person. If you’re only playing with your physical mind, you’re playing with half your senses, half of your wits. But if you allow yourself to be guided by the higher mind, then the chess piece you have created your physical mind to be can be moved around the board very easily, very smoothly, very expertly. You understand? Yes. But you’re still doing it. You’re just doing it from a higher level and also from within the physical level simultaneously. So you are the player and the played. Does that make sense? Audience Member: Yes. All right. Bashar: Now, the degree of flexibility is also based on the relevance of what is going on in your life. The things that excite you the most are usually representative of the path of least resistance in your life, usually representative of things that lure you in certain directions to let you know that this is the direction to take action on. The things that contain more excitement than anything else—that is actually your physical translation of the communication from the higher mind. That’s how you translate its messages to you in the form you call passion, love, creativity, excitement, peace, balance. When you are willing to act on the circumstance, the situation that contains more of that energy than any other option at every moment in your life, that’s your response to the higher mind saying, “I hear you loud and clear.” And that’s what starts the dialogue between the physical and the higher mind so they can learn to work together. Because when you’re willing to act on the excitement that is the communication from the higher mind, then the higher mind knows you’re ready for more, and ready for more, and ready for more, until your life becomes an ecstatic explosion of excitement and synchronicity. Does that make sense? Audience Member: Yes. Bashar: Yes. So the flexibility and malleability comes relative to the mass consensus. With respect to your individuality, is that whatever is really true for you is something that you can experience even within the mass consensus that might not necessarily believe that certain things are even possible. And especially now in this day and age on your planet, this transformational age when you’re exploring the very idea of what you are as a consciousness, you’re more flexible than ever. And as you act on your highest excitement to the best of your ability with no insistence on any specific outcome, you activate excitement in such a way is that it amps you up, magnifies that energy, makes you a more receptive antenna and a receiver to higher frequencies, and thus you begin to become more capable of experiencing things you couldn’t have experienced before when you weren’t that high level frequency. So your reality becomes far more malleable. You start to see through the physical reality for what it is: it’s a dream, it’s a projection, it’s an idea coming from your consciousness.

Let me remind you all, in essence, just to use these euphemistic words for clarity: in essence, spirit is your natural state. That’s your natural state. You don’t actually leave the spirit realm and come into the physical realm and come into a body. That’s just your linear space-time frame of reference for how you perceive the experience. But you never, ever leave Spirit. You’re all in Spirit right now. Right now, you are all in Spirit. Right now. But you are dreaming that you’re not. That’s what physical reality is: a dream in Spirit that you’re not in Spirit, so that you can focus your energy in such a way as to have an experience of space-time so that you can rediscover yourself from a new perspective, go through different challenges that stretch you, help you grow, help you learn more of who you are from a new point of view. But excitement is the key. That’s what allows you to experience the most flexibility and malleability of physical reality. Because as you amp your energy up, you start to realize that physical reality is literally just a dream, and as soon as you become more lucid in that dream, then you can dream just about anything as long as it has some degree of relevance for the reality that you chose. Does that make sense? Audience Member: Yes. Thank you. Is this helping to clarify and elucidate the concept? Audience Member: Yes, very much so. Bashar: And was there something else you wish to discuss? Audience Member: Yes, specifically. Yes. Um, so I just… uh… find myself… this is… this is about reality also, about abundance and lack. Yes. Um, so in this Earth experience, yes, is there an Earth that is, um, you could say in danger? Perhaps are resources limited? Like, for example, I was taking a shower yesterday/today, and I wanted to stay a while in the hot water. And but we haven’t had rain, so I was like, well, you know, should I stop? My excitement was to stay in the hot water for a while. Bashar: So well, you have to make sure it actually is your excitement and not anxiety disguised as excitement. You have to be honest with yourself about why you actually do what you do, because many of you can fool yourselves into thinking that something is actually representative of your excitement, and it’s actually representative of a fear-based belief and is truly anxiety and not excitement. So first, you have to be honest with why you do what you do. Audience Member: Well, my excitement was to stay in the water. All right. But was I… and then I told myself, “Well, you better get out, you’re using too much water.” All right. Is that true? That is… am I using too much water? Bashar: I mean, not if you’re in a reality where it’s truly representative and in alignment with your true excitement, then no, you’re not. Because what is representative of your true excitement is the vibration of abundance. You can’t have a definition of excitement that contains a vibration of lack. That’s not a definition of excitement. So if it’s truly representative of your state of being, that is your true excitement, then no. But you have to be honest as to whether it is or not. Make sense? Audience Member: Um, yes. However… um… however… the fancy… well, I still don’t understand then. Um, if there… let me back up and answer your other portion of the question. Okay. There is every variation and version of Earth you can imagine. There are an infinite number of parallel reality versions of Earth that exist right now simultaneously with the one that you may be experiencing at this moment. You never actually change the planet you’re on; you change the vibration of your being, and you shift to another parallel version of Earth that is already more representative of the vibrational change you made within yourself. And you can flitter around back and forth all over the map doing this billions of times per second, which is what you do. All of you shift through parallel realities billions of times per second. The side effect of doing this is what you call space-time. That’s how you create the experience of time: by shifting your point of view through billions of different parallel realities, each of which is slightly different than the last. So whatever vibrational state you are in will determine how you experience the reality, even if you are still, let’s say, in agreement to share certain attributes of the mass consensus reality. You can still get a positive effect out of the very same situation that somebody else might be relating to in a negative way, as long as you understand that you are honestly within your vibration of true excitement. Then you can always get a positive and beneficial effect in your life from the very same situation someone else might not be able to derive a positive effect from. Does that make sense? Audience Member: Yes. So the voice that said, “There’s not enough water,” is that voice the judgmental voice? Bashar: It can be. Or it can be the voice that says your belief system isn’t actually aligned with the version of Earth where the water is unlimited. Pay attention. That’s why I’m saying you have to have honesty in your self-investigation as to what the voice actually represents. Okay. Does that make sense? Audience Member: Yes. Bashar: All right. Does that help? Audience Member: Yes. Everything helps. Bashar: All right. It can, yes, if you use it that way. Um, so thank you. If I may ask another question: I was wondering if you could scan my energy and see if… something… always scanning… see if… um… you could share something that stands out for you. Bashar: Are you acting on your highest excitement every moment that you possibly can to the best of your ability with absolutely no insistence on the outcome? Audience Member: Not all the time. But whenever I catch myself not doing that, I try to get back in line. Bashar: Then there’s nothing I need to tell you, except you don’t have to try. Just get back into alignment. Right? Yes. Remember, here’s a trick. If you want a trick, all of you, remember: remember a time when you truly felt that you were perfectly aligned with your highest excitement. Yes? Yes? Yes? All right. Thank you. All you have to do is remember how it felt, and you will actually automatically be back in the same state, even if it doesn’t feel identical. Many of you have the misunderstanding that it’s supposed to feel exactly the same as it did before. Why? You’re a different person now. Why should it feel the same? Because you were a different person then. Just know for a fact that as long as you remember what it felt like to be in that state of perfect joy, you are in that state.

I’ll tell you an even deeper secret about that trick. Because if you remember something we’ve shared with you—we’ve told you you cannot experience something you’re not the vibration of first. So you actually have to be in your state of excitement to even remember when you were in a state of excitement before. Which means that as soon as you decide to have the memory, to feel what it was like, you’re already in that state in order to be able to have the memory. That’s the trick. Does that make sense? Audience Member: Yes. And that’s all that’s necessary. Remember a time when you felt in alignment, and you will be in alignment. But you’ll be in alignment in a different way, with a different sensation of it. But know that you’re in alignment at that moment. Does that help? Audience Member: Um, yes. I was also wondering more about the body’s energetic systems. I know… but we don’t do health readings. We have given all the health information that we need. It’s no longer our job to do so. You will get what you need from another source, most likely your own guides or higher mind. It’s simply no longer our job.

Question 3: Dreams, Synchronicity, and Excitement

Audience Member: Da Bashar. Bashar: And to you, good day. How are you doing? Audience Member: Perfect. And you? Bashar: Good. Doing very well. Audience Member: Oh, all right. Living on my highest excitement. This is very exciting for me to be up here today. Bashar: All right. So, um, so my question, Bashar, is I have had some very vivid dreams as of lately of spaceships and them floating. Yes. And I’ve had one in particular where it kind of freaked me out a little bit. Freaked you out? Audience Member: Freaked me out, Bashar. Bashar: Oh, all right. And maybe you need to learn to freak in a little bit. Audience Member: Okay. Maybe I’ll try that later. Bashar: Don’t try. That’s yes indeed. Audience Member: And I found that to be definitely helpful in my life when I don’t try and I just let be, be, and just let what is be. But I was wondering about those ships. Are those ships from possibly your civilization, or is that ships from other civilizations? Bashar: They are from another hybrid civilization. Mhm. Audience Member: And I’m very familiar with the Yel. I watch your videos quite frequently. The first… they’re called the First Ba’ku Society? The Sh’Shaa? Bashar: Yes. Yes. Audience Member: Bashar. Um, so those ships… those were very interesting. Yes. And they fled, and they had… they look very futuristic. Now I also have dreams of other things, Bashar. I have dreams of, um, like different cartoons or television shows that are in my dreams that are from like a parallel reality. Is that what they’re from? Are they from a parallel reality? Bashar: They can be. Yeah. But remember that many times when you’re having experiences in other dimensions, your physical mind only has so many different kinds of symbols and props that it can use to make sense out of those experiences. And sometimes it will color them in an unusual way because that’s the closest representation or the closest symbol it can make sense of for an experience that it otherwise can’t make sense of. Make sense somewhat? Audience Member: Bashar, oh, all right. I’m a little confused. Bashar: Oh, that’s all right. You can be a lot confused if you wish. Okay. What we’re saying is a lot of times you will have in your sleep state experiences in other dimensions, other realities. And when you wake up, there is some sense that something has happened, that you’ve actually had some kind of an experience. But your physical mind is only trained to recognize certain kinds of representative symbols that represent having an experience. So it has to use the props that are at hand to represent something it may not actually have a full set of props to represent accurately. Okay. Therefore, it will use whatever it can use that contains the closest analogy and quality and feeling and tone to the actual experience. So in having a dream that is represented by cartoons, it may be representative of several different kinds of things. Either your physical mind doesn’t consider the experience to be real, and therefore it’s coloring the experience by making it appear to be a cartoon. Well, this would be more of an actual cartoon on television. It’s an actual cartoon. It doesn’t matter. Yeah. Because it’s using what it knows. As I said, it uses the props it has at hand that are most representative. Audience Member: What is the cartoon? It’s like… there’s like a red being in there, and it’s like an actual cartoon. Like I can actually see it like if I were to see a cartoon on television. It was that an actual cartoon? Like if I would be able to have… and it was totally awesome. It was the coolest dream ever. Like, totally awesome, you guys. Bashar: All right. Now that we’ve established it was totally awesome. Yeah. So does this cartoon actually exist in your physical reality? This is it a real, as you call it, cartoon? Audience Member: It could be. Bashar: If this was… is it a real cartoon show? I didn’t ask if it could be. Yes. No. Is it a real cartoon show? Audience Member: No. It is not, Bashar. Bashar: Thank you. Yes. There, as I said, it is making the best sense it can out of an experience you had in another dimension of reality. Ah. Very cool. Now, as I said, the cartoon aspect could be representative of the fact that the physical mind doesn’t consider it to be real, even though it was a real experience. It can also be representative of the idea that, just as cartoons are very malleable, it might be representative of the degree of flexibility that exists in the dimension in which the experience happened. It can be representative of many different kinds of things. The beings that were in your dream may be representative of real beings, even though they may look nothing like that at all. Mhm. But they may again have presented themselves to you in a way for which that is the best representation that your mind can understand. Yes, Bashar. Does that make sense? Audience Member: Yes, it does, Bashar. Bashar: All right. Does this address the question? Audience Member: Yes, it does, Bashar. Bashar: All right. You don’t have to keep saying “Bashar.” Audience Member: Okay. Anything else? In our civilization, when you say a name, it lets people know they’re empowered. Bashar: So well, I already know my power. And besides which, it’s not my name. Audience Member: Correct. Bashar: Correct. It’s a word from one of the languages on your planet that simply means “messenger.” Messenger? Really? Yes. Interesting. It’s an Arabic word that means messenger or bringer of good tidings. Audience Member: Okay. All right. Definitely, Bashar. Sure. I said it again. Thank you. At least I’m not calling you “Yay Civilization.” Yeah. Um, the other question that I had, Bashar, is I experience a lot of synchronicity in my life. I’ve been experiencing it, um, you know, for about the last year and a half, two years. Bashar: Yes. Well, that’s one of the symptoms of the expansion of consciousness. Yes. And synchronicity is your physical space-time way of understanding that everything is actually all one thing. And numbers correlate a lot with me. I see a lot of different numbers, things like that. Audience Member: You’re giving yourself your road signs and your markers for when you are in alignment with the vibration of your being. Okay. So, so, Bashar, with synchronicity, acting on my highest excitement is definitely the best way for me to… Bashar: Synchronicity is one of the tools that automatically happens in the complete kit of excitement. When you act on the formula… look, here are the 11 elements of excitement, all right? Broken into three, six, and two. You have the initial formula of acting on whatever contains the highest amount of excitement every moment that you can, to the best of your ability, taking it as far as you can until you can take it no further, with absolutely zero insistence on the outcome or how things should look or where you’re supposed to go. Zero. If you do that, if you act on that formula in that way, you open up the kit. The kit contains the tools that support you in whatever way you need to be supported. Becomes the driving engine of your life that moves you forward. It becomes the organizing principle that allows you to experience synchronicity so that things happen exactly when and where and how they need to. It becomes the path of least resistance in your life so that you feel that life is flowing. It becomes the path that connects you to all other expressions and forms of excitement in your life that are relevant for you. It also becomes the reflective mirror that reveals to you anything you may be holding on to in your unconscious mind that might be out of alignment with your excitement, so that you can identify it consciously and bring it back into alignment by letting the negative definition go. That is the toolkit. And when you use the three-part formula to activate the six-toolkit, then the last two parts are: you’re given a decision, you’re given a choice. And that is that any situation and circumstance that arises from using the three-part formula that activates the complete toolkit, then you have the opportunity to say, “I am going to give this a positive meaning,” or “I’m going to give it a negative meaning.” And that’s utterly what determines what effect you get out of whatever circumstance or situation arises from having taken the actions that you took. That’s it. The 11 elements of excitement. That’s it. The entire formula. That’s all you need. Because it’s a totally complete kit and leaves nothing out that is absolutely relevant in your life. So, as we said, synchronicity is one of those tools and will always automatically be part of the complete kit.

Question 4: Accelerating Evolution and Sharing Ideas

Audience Member: Anyou. Good day. Bashar: How can we best accelerate, um, the conscious evolution of humanity at this… thought I just answered that. So how can we best be of service to the planet? Thought I just answered that. By being your full self. By acting on your highest excitement, you allow yourself to be your full self. By being your full, true self, you are of best service to your entire world, because then you’re acting as an example to others that they can also choose that path for themselves in whatever way is relevant for them. Without being your full self, you’re not acting as an example. You’re not giving them an option to see that this can work for them just like it works for you. That’s it. That’s your purpose. That’s your mission: to be yourself as fully as you can. The way you go about doing that is by acting on your highest excitement every moment that you can with no insistence on the outcome. That’s it. It’s that simple. It really is that simple. You can complicate it if you want to, and I won’t stop you from doing so if that’s what gives you joy. But it really is that simple. Does that make sense? Audience Member: Yes, it does. Does that answer your question? Audience Member: It does. Anything else? With the tools that we have available now, with media and communication, um, what advice do you have for sharing ideas, um, getting the message out, any message that that we want to give to humanity? Bashar: Where’s your creative imagination and coming up with what works for you? Yes. Are you going to act on your excitement or not? Audience Member: Yes. Bashar: Well, then you’re going to do it in the way that works for you. That’s an expression of you that’s relevant and representative of you, aren’t you correct? Then use whatever technology is at your disposal in whatever way is appropriate within your society, and act on your joy. And make sure it is your joy and not your anxiety. That’s it. Audience Member: Yes. Question on curiosity. Curiosity. I’m curious what you have to say in the non-physical. Uh, how does intent and focus… how is the nature of intent and focus in non-physical? How does that relate to our intent and focus and our physical realities? Bashar: Now, the only real main difference—although there are some other subtle differences—but the only real main difference is the lack of experience of what you would call space-time. So the intent and focus in physical reality plays out in what you would call a process, whereas in non-physical reality, the intent and focus allows you to experience the reality manifestation instantaneously. Does that make sense? Audience Member: Yes. All right. Bashar: But remember that the whole point of physical reality is the process. Because through the process, you rediscover yourself from a new point of view. You can’t experience change from a timeless state. You can only experience change in the illusion of space-time. That’s why you forget who you are, so that you can remember who you are from a new perspective and discover something new about yourself. Otherwise, that wouldn’t be possible. Make sense? Audience Member: Yes, it does. Does this help? Audience Member: It does. Will that do? Audience Member: One final question. Yes. Um, again, when we transition into non-physical, if we find ourselves on our so-called island of beliefs… yes. Um, generally speaking, okay. So these are beliefs that can be newly formed in the non-physical. What if we… taking our beliefs from… Bashar: They’re not really beliefs in the non-physical. They’re not quite the same, because you don’t really have a personality construct in the same way anymore. Beliefs are part of your personality construct in physical reality. In non-physical reality, it’s not so much a belief as it is simply a knowingness of what is true for you at that moment. It’s a slightly different kind of an experience. Audience Member: Experience. And you’ve already addressed how to bring this knowingness into our physical reality. Basically just living to our highest fulfillment, joy. Bashar: Absolutely. And then you can bring your version of that into physical reality, though it will still be somewhat of a different experience in non-physical reality.

Question 5: Love, Limitation, and Hugs

Audience Member: Yeah. So lately, I have been experiencing the state of love and no limitation and all right sounds connection. Yes. But it lasts only a few days at a time. Bashar: Nonsense. Yes. You just defined that it lasts a short time because of how you define what the experience needs to be. As I said earlier, if you simply know that you’re always in that state, then you’ll understand that that state can contain within it fluctuations of how you experience that state. But the fluctuations don’t mean you’re not in that state. They’re just different fluctuations within the state of your joy. Why should you define or assume that just because it changes, that means you’re no longer in your joy? It’s that assumption that takes you out of your joy, right? Not the fluctuation itself. Right. Make sense? Audience Member: Yes. And partially, I think it comes from my belief that… as I decided to be born as a human being, yes, I thought I have to be under limitation. Bashar: Well, you do. Yes. In order to experience it. But that doesn’t again mean that limitations are negative, right? You have to have some degree of limitation in order to have a physical experience. There’s nothing wrong with that, right? But you get to decide which limitations are relevant in a positive context and which limitations don’t serve you, and let them go, okay? To the degree that is relevant to still playing the game. In other words, to go back to our chess analogy: if you really have decided to play chess, it’s not really going to be very instructional for you to throw the chess board away and suddenly bring in a Parcheesi board. If you’ve agreed to play chess, you need to play on a chess board, right? So your letting go of certain limitations will only go as far as is relevant for the game that you have agreed to play. Audience Member: Oh. So I don’t need to worry about… Bashar: No. It’s automatic. Okay. All you need to do is act on your highest excitement and let the complete kit and the organizing principle of synchronicity within the kit be your guide. Because it is a self-perpetuating, self-guiding system. Please understand these concepts that we’re sharing with you. These are not mysterious, magical concepts. This is physics. That’s all it is. What you put out is what you get back. Okay. It’s that simple. Now, it is in its own way magical and miraculous, but that doesn’t mean it’s not physics.

Audience Member: Yes. Uh, can I get a ride on your ship? Bashar: What makes you think you haven’t already had one? Audience Member: Because I don’t have any memory. Bashar: So what have I… Next, I’ll let you ponder that for a while. Okay. Audience Member: I’m done. Thank you. Bashar: Thank you. Many of you have had contact, but you don’t remember. Because part of the measurement we use to determine when you’re ready for more contact is how quickly you remember that you’ve already had it.

Asker We are also in deep appreciation for the co-creation of the interaction. Um, I wanted to ask: how do you guys give hugs in your planet? Bashar: We do. Audience Member: How? What do you mean, how? Bashar: Oh, physically. We have bodies, you know. We are a physical extraterrestrial species. In our evolution, we are very closely approaching non-physicality, but we still do have bodies. They function more like spirit, but they still are actually in physical reality to a great degree. We refer to ourselves at this point in our evolution as quasi-physical. So we still have bodies. We still have arms. We can still give hugs physically. Okay. Audience Member: Well, a hug from me to you. Bashar: All right. I’m back at you. All right. I wanted to ask about a meditation that I did with your symbol. Yes. And I received the name Arena. Bashar: All right. And how do you want to use that information and that idea and that permission slip? Audience Member: Um, I was using it as… my higher… my highest self. Yes. All right. And how has it assisted you by having that permission slip recognition relationship and connection? Audience Member: Um, to bring forth… everything that I see. To bring forth everything that you see? What does that mean? Audience Member: Well, I was… I was really hoping you would tell me more about it. More about what? Your relationship to your higher mind? Bashar: Okay. Is that what you’re asking? Audience Member: No. No, it’s not. Bashar: ‘Cuz that’s what I was going to tell you. But if you don’t want it… Audience Member: No. Tell me. Tell me. Bashar: No. All right. Do you understand that you’re speaking with your higher mind right now? You’re just using us as a permission slip mask to make it okay and easier to talk to your own higher mind. That’s what these interactions actually are. I am my own being, and I am involved in these interactions, but you’re speaking to your own higher minds, using us as an excuse to do so, because your belief system says it’s easier to talk to your own higher mind when you’re able to use someone like us. Okay. But you’re talking to your higher mind right now. Audience Member: So shall your higher mind ask you the question that was asked before? Bashar: No. I want to ask you a different question now. Audience Member: All right. Um, so one of my highest joys has been to explore lucid dreaming. Yes. And I’ve been on that exploration this past year. Bashar: Oh, all right. How exciting. Audience Member: Yeah. And I wanted to know if you had any new tools to share with me aside from the ones that we actually gave you in the transmission called “The Awakening,” which was all about lucid dreaming. Bashar: Yes. You’re already familiar with those tools. Audience Member: Pretty familiar. Bashar: Yes. Pretty familiar. All right. Well, let me ask you this: is there something in your dreams that seems to recur quite often? Some element? Audience Member: Dogs. Bashar: Dogs. All right. Then do you believe you can train yourself to remind yourself that when you see the dogs, you’re dreaming? Audience Member: Dreaming… um… that would be a… no. Bashar: Because hesitation usually means no. Okay. So why don’t you believe you can use the dogs that keep showing up—which, after all, are the symbol of service on your planet—to remind you that you’re dreaming when you see them in your dream? Audience Member: Well, because I feel like when I’m dreaming… yes. Well, when I… when I’m awake and then I recall my dreams, I feel like I’m not remembering them very vividly. Bashar: So… that’s not what I’m asking you. Yeah. What I’m asking is: can you remind yourself when you go to sleep, okay, to know that you’re dreaming when you see a dog in your dream? Can you do that? Audience Member: I can do that. Bashar: All right. And you do understand that when you all go to sleep and dream, that’s when you’re actually waking up. And when you wake up in the morning, that’s when you’re actually dreaming. Okay. So you’re dreaming right now. Pretty lucid, isn’t it? Audience Member: Very, very lucid. Bashar: The less difference you make between physical and dream reality, the more lucid you will become in both. Audience Member: And then I wanted to ask you… um… big clue went right over her head. No. I wanted to ask you… um… still went over. It’s just… it’s just that triggered something else that I wanted to ask you. Bashar: All right. Um, I wanted to ask you: when I wake up, I want to wake up feeling very refreshed. Bashar: And then do so. What’s stopping you? Audience Member: Um, that I forget. And wake up. You forget what? Audience Member: I forget that I want to wake up that way. And then I just… but why don’t you wake up that way? Bashar: I have to create it. Wouldn’t it be natural for you to wake up refreshed? Do you not understand that your natural state is refreshing? If you’re not waking up refreshed, that can only mean you’re not being in your natural state. Okay. That’s why we remind all of you to really be acting on your true joy, because that’s your natural state. And find the definitions that are counter to that, that are out of alignment with that, and don’t take action in those directions. When you are more your natural self, you will wake up refreshed. And that includes clarity as well. Does your definition of being refreshed include clarity? Or do you need to add that as some kind of a special clause in your contract? Does your definition of being refreshed include clarity? Audience Member: I would include it. Bashar: Yes. Then why ask if it does? Okay. It’s up to you to decide what the definition is. But pay attention, because many of you have definitions you think are definitions of excitement, and they’re not. Because many of you ask the kind of questions that you just ask: “Well, if I act on my excitement, what if something bad happens?” Just to simplify it. But how can a definition of excitement contain something negative? If you have a definition of excitement that says that if you act on your excitement, something negative will happen, that’s your first clue: it’s not a definition of excitement. Because by definition, a definition of excitement can’t contain a negative experience. So if you have to ask if being refreshed would also include clarity, then you don’t have a big enough definition of refreshment. Okay. But it’s up to you to decide what that definition is. Audience Member: Yes. Yes. Is that clarifying? Audience Member: Very. Bashar: All right. Do you feel a little bit more refreshed? Audience Member: I feel very refreshed right now. Bashar: All right. Thank you. Thank you. Pleasant dream. One moment. One moment to the person to whom we were just speaking: the dogs. See what happens when you go to sleep if you think about Anubis. Audience Member: All right. Anubis. All right. All right. All right. Thank you.
