Awakening

Question 6: Spreading Joy and Allowance

Asker: The awakening, or starting to wake up. And I’m so excited that I want to spread that to… um… and in what way would you like to do that?

Bashar: First and foremost, of course, simply being an example as yourself, which often is the only way you need to be.

Asker: But you can have an expression of it somehow. Is there a particular expression that is representing, representative of what you would like to put out as a representation of your excitement? When you say “spread this,” what do you mean?

Asker: Physically, I… two things came to mind. One is talking to people one-on-one. All right. And then the other was music.

Bashar: All right. Um, so those are different expressions of the idea of your excitement of sharing certain concepts. You don’t have a need for anyone to believe you, right? You don’t have a need for anyone to change, do you?

Asker: Is that a trick question? I want to say no. It’s not.

Bashar: Yes. It is.

Asker: I feel I need it.

Bashar: Why do you need anyone else to change?

Asker: ‘Cuz it makes me happy.

Bashar: No, it doesn’t. Do you want to be allowed to choose what you prefer? Yes or no? Not a trick question. Do you wish to be allowed to choose what you prefer at any given moment? Yes or no?

Asker: I don’t know why I’m so confused by that, but I’m going to say yes.

Bashar: Do you want other people telling you how to believe, how to think?

Asker: No.

Bashar: Then you want to be allowed to choose what you prefer to think and believe.

Asker: Yes.

Bashar: Yes. Then can you give the same courtesy to everyone else? Why should you be allowed to choose what you prefer if you’re not willing to allow others to choose what they prefer, even if it’s not the same thing you choose? If you’re going to be an example of allowance and freedom and joy, then why would you put conditions and insistence on what it is they choose to do with the information that you share? You understand that we share all this information with all of you because it excites us to do so for its own sake. That’s who we are.

If any one of you chooses to ignore everything we’ve said, that’s your choice, and we are happy for you in knowing that you can make the choice that you believe works for you at that particular moment. Because that’s the whole idea anyway. We don’t need you to believe anything we say. What we do, we do because it excites us. We show you by example that it can work for you too.

But if you choose not to believe that, that’s your choice. Doesn’t change how we feel in our lives. Because you have your life, and we have ours. And whatever it is you choose has absolutely no bearing on what it is we prefer to choose. So we share, and maybe you will adopt some of these ideas, and maybe you won’t. That’s up to you.

We honor and respect you enough and know you are powerful enough to make your own decisions. Because we also know that every single being is eternal and infinite. So there’s no hurry in terms of you choosing one thing or another, or someone else choosing one thing or another. You’ll get to experience everything in the course of infinity anyway. So there’s no rush.

There’s no deadline. There is, however, a lifeline. So you can throw them a lifeline and say, “Would you like to grab on? This is fun.” But you have to have enough willingness and compassion and allowance to let them say, “No, thank you. Not for me.” Right now. Because if you’re not allowing them, why should they allow you the freedom to choose this?

Asker: Yes.

Bashar: So drop the need. Because, paradoxically, if you need someone to change, if you’re trying to force someone to buy into what you say you believe in, that actually means you’re only trying to convince yourself because you don’t really believe it.

Because if it truly has power, don’t you think they’ll find it somehow? Because power attracts, doesn’t it? True power attracts. It’s very attractive. True power. So if you know that what you believe is truly powerful, why would you need to force it on anything? As we have said, the greatest power requires the gentlest touch, because it doesn’t need to force anything. That’s why God, Goddess, All That Is almost feels like it doesn’t even exist. It is so powerful that it doesn’t even need you to know that it’s real. Then that allows you the freedom, the freedom to believe that it doesn’t even exist. It doesn’t care. It knows it exists. And you wouldn’t even have the ability to say that it doesn’t exist if you didn’t exist and weren’t supported in your existence by it. Make sense?

Bashar: Please remember, all of you: the first step to true enlightenment is to lighten up. Not be so serious. You have to believe this. It will save you. It will save the world.

Asker: Well, I don’t go around saying like that.

Bashar: I know. I’m exaggerating. But the intention of needing someone to buy into it is the same. You follow?

Asker: Yeah. All right. So no longer needy on it. I’m working on it.

Feeling Cut Off and Empathy

Asker: When I have these times of when I feel really aligned, inspired, and yes, everything feels easy and good. And then all of a sudden, without knowing the trigger, I feel completely cut off.

Bashar: Did I not remind you that one of the tools in the kit of excitement is that it brings to your attention anything within you that’s out of alignment with that excitement so you can deal with it?

Asker: Yes.

Bashar: Then it’s working. Yes. Anytime you’re moving along in your excitement and suddenly the brakes are on and something happens that feels completely the opposite, that’s your chance to go, “Hot dog! It’s working! My excitement is bringing me information I need to know so that if I’m holding on to something that doesn’t serve me, I can let it go and add that energy and expand my excitement.

Yay!” Yes. That’s how you approach it. Because then you’re staying in a positive state when dealing with something that comes up that might actually be negative. And only by staying in a positive state will you be able to get a positive effect out of dealing with something that might be negative. Make sense? If you go into the negative state and say, “Oh no, this is an interruption, this is an obstacle, something’s wrong,” then that’s the only way you can experience that opportunity in a negative way. But if you give it a positive definition, as we just did, you can only get a positive and beneficial effect from the very same circumstance. Remember, nothing has built-in meaning. Everything is devoid of meaning. It’s neutral. You give it meaning. But the meaning you give it determines the effect you get out of it utterly, totally, completely. Make sense?

Asker: Yes. So choose the meaning you wish to give something and get the effect you prefer.

Bashar: Okay. And here’s the second part to my question. Um, so when I’m in these cut-off times, and then all the sadness of the world seems to be crawling in and making everything a little bit overwhelmed, especially the suffering of animals.

Bashar: Yes. Yes. Yes. I understand. Our people do understand. I’m not saying you can’t empathize. But don’t reinforce the negativity by adding to it. Because you’re not helping anyone by going into a negative state. How are you helping the animals by going into a state of sadness? Go into a state of compassion and take some action that is actually of help. Because then you become a shining example of another way you can have a relationship with animals. And then maybe people that see say, “Oh, look what she’s doing.

We can do that. Let’s change our relationship to the animals into something more positive, something more loving, something more equal. Look what she’s doing. She’s an example.” But if they turn to you and go, “Oh, look, she’s just sad. Well, she’s not going to be of any help to these poor animals. She’s actually acting worse off than they are. Maybe the animals need to help her.” Yes. You catch our meaning?

Interlude: Lunch Break Coordination

Bashar: We’re checking to see how much time we have because we have no more people to ask questions. Is it your lunchtime already? Asker: No. No, it’s not. Bashar: No. Are you sure? I don’t know. We’re checking. Does anyone know what… that we have about 30 minutes? Asker: Are you sure? Bashar: Well, it’s 12:00, and we’re supposed to end at 12:30. Asker: You’re supposed to… well, actually, you know, that’s up to you, Bashar. Is it? Bashar: Now, last time I checked… all right. Do you wish to draw another name? Asker: Sure. Bashar: All right. How many more should I draw? Do you wish to draw another name? Singular? He asked, assuming she understood the language translation. Asker: Sorry. I was thinking in another language. Bashar: Yes. You were. The name is Vanessa C. Tan. Vanessa.

Question 8: Dealing with Negative People and Family

Asker: I want to understand why I attracted this person in my life. It’s a negative person energy.

Bashar: All right. Many times you will attract people who are vibrationally incompatible or maybe exhibiting negative traits because maybe they need to get something from you that’s positive.

Asker: To get something from me that’s positive?

Bashar: Are you not willing to help others?

Asker: I am.

Bashar: Well, then that might be the reason why you would attract somebody that you may not necessarily prefer, but you have attracted because perhaps they need to see something in you, something from you, that allows them perhaps more options for themselves in a more positive way.

Asker: And so that means that I would need to be much more open.

Bashar: And why not? They can’t possibly affect you negatively, can they?

Asker: They have, in some ways.

Bashar: No. As you say in your game show: “No.” No one is capable of affecting you. If you have been affected, it’s because you have agreed to match the vibration and have used that agreement to affect yourself. So why would you do that?

Asker: I wouldn’t want to do that.

Bashar: Then why did you do that?

Asker: Maybe to learn more.

Bashar: All right. If nothing else, to learn that you may have had a negative definition that made that seem to be the logic choice to make. Now that you know it’s not what you prefer, you don’t have to make that choice again. Do you? Never. All right. So open up to the idea that you can attract whomever. What difference does it make? Because if you know they can only affect you by your agreement, and that you don’t agree to be affected negatively, then what matter who they are? Because they can’t possibly affect you in any way you don’t wish to be affected. That’s right. And that you can be a shining example, perhaps, of something they need in their lives at that moment that can perhaps help them. You never really know how much help you’re being to others. Quite often, you don’t know. You could be just passing by and help someone who just needed to see someone like you at that particular moment. So the next time you’re all stuck in traffic, look around. You’re not next to those people by accident. It’s all an orchestration. Yes. There may be different degrees of what each person in that orchestration needs to get out of it. Different themes, different reflections. It’s not necessarily a one-to-one thing. But you’re still there for a reason. And you may never know the reason. But what you can know is there is a reason. And the more you allow yourself to trust in that, the more capable you might become of actually knowing what the reason is.

For example, as you say, you are quote-unquote “stuck” in rush hour traffic. How do you know that your higher mind didn’t help you orchestrate that? Because if you had been zipping along at 70 miles an hour, you would have been part of an accident 10 miles down the road. That’s right. You don’t know. And you don’t always have to know. The only thing you need to know is that you know there has to be a reason for it. And for you, the reason always has to be positive. Why? Because you say so. Because there is nothing in creation to contradict you. If creation is willing to allow you to buy into negative experiences and support you in the creation and manifestation and perpetuation of negative experiences, why wouldn’t it support you in the manifestation of positive ones too? It’s not going to contradict you. It doesn’t care what you choose. Because everything is valid for a reason. Even if you choose something you don’t prefer, it’s valid in teaching you that you didn’t prefer it. Sometimes people will choose the dark because for them it makes it easier for them to see the light. Yes. Yes. By comparison. So everything can be used in a positive way if you remain in that state. But remember, you cannot perceive what you’re not the vibration of. So if you’re a negative vibration, you can’t imagine, you can’t conceive of, you can’t be inspired by the opportunities that a person who is in a positive state can be inspired by, because you’re not on the wavelength of positive inspiration. But when you are, the inspiration comes, the knowledge comes, the awareness comes. It’s that simple. Again, this is just physics. What you put out is what you get back. Assume that what you’re getting back is there for a positive reason, and you will see how it is positive in general, if not in specific terms. But again, remember, you don’t always need to know why something happened the way it did. You just need to know that it happened that way for a positive reason for you, and maybe for a lot of other people too. You just don’t know. But you’re willing to be part of the orchestration because you know it’s orchestration, because you know it’s helping someone somehow, somewhere. And that’s good enough for you, isn’t it? Asker: It is. Bashar: All right. Thank you so much. Asker: Thank you.

(Applause)

Question 9: Trees, Gaia, and Pine Trees

Bashar: Is it one F now? Asker: Well, we still have a little more time if you feel like talking. Much time? 20 minutes? Bashar: 20 minutes. Yes. Oh, the poor starving people in your gathering whose stomachs are grumbling mightily. Is Daryl hungry? Asker: No. Bashar: All right. You may draw one more name. That is in your language. One more name. Micah Tari.

Good day, Bashar. Bashar: And you, good day. Great. Well, uh, yes. Little… little… I… oh, well. Said the known family member, such as friend or co-workers, telling me, “Hey, you are great, fantastic, you’re more than enough, you’re so strong.” And I get good compliment. Yes. But family… remember… yes… saying you’re not enough. And if you do, you know, everybody laughing. And I get negative comment. And especially my son. Bashar: Um, yes. Well, which is true for you? Which is true for you? And which do you recognize simply as a reflection of someone else’s issues that they’re not comfortable with? Remember, when you are attacked… now again, I’m not saying you can’t pay attention to when something may be constructive criticism that you may need to hear, that you might have attracted into your life to get a reflection on so that you can bring yourself back into alignment. But that’s not what you’re talking about. The idea of groundless negative attacks is more often than not the idea that they have issues within themselves, and they see you as a reminder of the issues they don’t want to face. So they resent it and project their anxiety onto you for reminding them of something they don’t want to look at within themselves. You understand? Asker: Yes. Bashar: So if you can tell the difference, then no matter whether or not someone attacks you, you will know it really has nothing to do with you. Mhm. And therefore it will be nonsensical and illogical. And why would you need to take it to heart? You don’t have to take it personally because it has nothing to do with you. Asker: I get that. And I’m trying to think that way. Bashar: I beg your pardon? Little hard of hearing. Say that again, please. Asker: I get that. Bashar: Oh, all right. And I’m being positive. Yes. Whole time. But… but I’m here. I’m tired hearing that negative comment. Bashar: And uh, what difference does it make if it has nothing to do with you? Who cares how many times you hear it? Asker: But he’s my son. Bashar: And so what? Asker: And uh, so… what? Bashar: What’s that got to do with anything? Mm? What does that have to do with anything? Asker: I want to establish much, much better relationship with him. Bashar: That’s fine. You can do your part of the relationship in the way that you would like to. But he doesn’t have to respond. Right. Exactly. Therefore, if the important thing is for you to be in the relationship in an unconditionally loving way… unconditionally loving… that’s yes. Yeah. And conditional love? Ah, my love is conditional. Which is another way of saying it isn’t love. Do you love your son? Asker: I do. Bashar: Then it’s unconditional, or it’s not love. Not really. If it’s got filters on it, it’s not love. Asker: Well… I see him. I… I want… I… I don’t see him right now. Bashar: Is he reflecting to you the things within yourself that you’re not giving yourself that you think you need from him? Asker: No. Bashar: Are you sure? Asker: Yes. Bashar: Do you love yourself? Asker: Yes. Bashar: Then love him how he is. If he’s going to change, that’s the only way you give him an opportunity to do so: by loving him as he is. You can share other ideas. You can give him the idea that there are other ways to be. And you can teach him that he is self-empowered, as powerful as he needs to be to get anything he really needs without hurting himself or anyone else in the process. That’s how powerful he is. But if he refuses to believe in his power, there’s not much you can do about it, is there? So love him nonetheless. Okay. Be the example. If you stop being the example because you’re tired of hearing him complain about you, then you will not be there to be the loving example he needs to see. Yes. Yes. And again, he doesn’t have to choose to match your vibration. Because he is still your son, right? And you still love him. And there may be other purposes to this dance than you might even imagine at this moment. Never assume that this will always remain as it is. Allow yourself to know there is reason in this, there is purpose in this, and that at some point, whether in this life or not, you’ll understand what was going on. But you have to be willing to know that there’s a purpose there, a positive purpose in some way, shape, or form, for you to be capable of allowing yourself to know that, to experience that. So if you find yourself getting frustrated by someone else’s behavior, then all you’re really doing is testing yourself to see if you really believe what you say you believe. Asker: Yes. Yes. Bashar: All right. Well, then the question is: do you believe what you say you believe, or don’t you? Asker: I believe myself. I believe what I say. What I… I believe what I do. Bashar: Stay in that state of belief and allow anything else that is not vibrationally compatible with it to simply roll off your back. And recognize that it’s not personal; it’s their issue. And that you have enough love and compassion for them to let them go through whatever process they believe they need to go through to discover their own self-empowerment, and whatever good time they decide they’re going to discover it. And you have nothing to say about when that ought to be. Okay. Asker: So I already dropped his luggage, and I bought new luggage for him. Bashar: How symbolic. What? How symbolic? How symbolic? How symbolic? Symbolic? What? How symbolic? How symbolic? Symbolic? How representative. Dropping luggage, buying new luggage. Both. Luggage for him? Because that’s his luggage that he carry. Asker: I know. And then but he asking, you know, “Mom, why you still don’t you know get carry my luggage?” And I said, “No, that’s yours now.” Bashar: Yes. So you are teaching him responsibility. And again, teaching him self-empowerment. Asker: Yes. So that’s how I will continue to do that. Bashar: Well, yes. Otherwise, you’re not teaching him the tools he needs to stand on his own two feet. Mhm. Yes. Yes. Unless he has more than two feet. Maybe he have five. I don’t know. Okay. Some of you have six feet. You bury yourselves 6 feet under. I see. Okay. So remember that the baggage that is yours doesn’t weigh a thing. If anything weighs you down, you’re carrying bags that don’t belong to you. Mhm. That’s your first clue. Okay. Does that help? Asker: Very help. Bashar: All right. Well, thank you. Asker: Thank you. You too. You are welcome.

Question 10: Ancient Sites and Martial Arts

Asker: I love animals, and I also respond to issues when trees are cut down. Yeah. And recently in my reality, some very beautiful trees that were quite old got cut down. Yes. And so I was challenged to stay in a positive state all right and find positive meaning in that, and I really struggled with it.

I finally found that worked for me as a permission slip to allow me to move into a higher vibrational state, yes, and not feel like something had been lost, all right, was to tune into the energy of Gaia. Yes. And to get to that level where Gaia is balancing itself all the time. And the Earth is a planet of… it’s a forest.

The whole planet is a forest. Yes. And the animals and the plants communicate with each other. And when one transitions into another dimension, Gaia is balancing it.

Gaia is keeping us all together. And remember that you are also Gaia. All of you together. All for one, one for all. Gaia supports you. You support Gaia. Gaia is you, and you are Gaia. Allow yourself, whenever you feel that concept of loss, to remind yourself that there are visible and invisible forests. And ask yourself the question: “Truly, how deep do my roots really go?” And you will find the connection that you need.

Was wondering because these were very big pine trees. Yes. Are you pining for them?

Bashar: I was. I was pining for the pine trees. Um, but I was wondering why… what is the significance of that particular type of tree?

Bashar: I think at one point you… you do remember they are the ambassadors of the tree people. Pines are the ambassadors of the world of trees to all other worlds and all other people. And they act as antenna for the planet. Right. And when you say they act as antenna, I mean it made me think of like whiskers. You know how animals have whiskers and they can sense their environment? And it’s like the Earth has whiskers with the trees. Asker: So. And then there was something about tachyon energy. The idea of the antenna, the tree, is that it is a step-down transformer for taking higher frequency energies that might be beyond your physical reality and translating them down into energy that is perceivable in your reality domain. So technically, if a lot of pine trees disappear, then we’re not receiving the same level of high energy, um, nor the same information. Bashar: So then the way to use that information in a positive way is to stretch yourself. You become the tree. How deep do your roots go? How high can you grow? You become the tree.

Asker: And I can even see that. Like if you go and you touch a tree, you know, and you feel the energy of it, become the tree. Take whatever instruction from the trees you wish to, but you become the tree in its stead. Bashar: Ah, that feels beautiful. Thank you. It’s tremendous. Now it’s lunchtime. Go and refresh yourselves. We will resume this transmission after your lunch break with the First Contact trainee.
