Navigating Shifts in Excitement and the Fear of Letting Go

Asker: I went to Atlanta, Georgia last week to visit my family and everybody in my family that I’ve ever met was there. And it was the first time in about 15 years that we’d all gotten together. When I left here to go back there… in the four days that I spent there, I felt like there was a big energy shift, like I was a very different person when I was there than I when I was here before I left.

Bashar: Um, you are always different.

Asker: Yes, I understand that. Now, since I have come back to California again, I feel like I’m yet a different person and I haven’t quite figured out what that person is yet. In other words, what does that person want to do?

Bashar: Well, that’s part of my problem because… part of your what?

Asker: Well, part of your what? I don’t feel the level of excitement and the…

Bashar: Repeat after me. Okay. “That is a part of my problem.”

Bashar: “That is a part of my joy to discover.”

Asker: “That is a part of my joy to discover.”

Bashar: That feels better.

Loss of Excitement

Asker: For the last 4 days since Sunday when I came back here, the level of excitement that I have been used to feeling in the last year or so hasn’t been there.

Bashar: What you have changed now is a typical transformation for many of you. You will create in your life at intervals the idea of feeling the excitement in a certain way.

But if you stop to really think about it, even though it seems as if you’re feeling it within yourself, you’re actually feeling it around you. And the idea of when it no longer seems to be around you is when you actually now have the opportunity to know you have met the level of that vibration.

So it no longer seems to be there. You have simply acclimated to it so easily that it doesn’t appear to be any different than you. And that’s your cue to use it in whatever way, shape, or form you desire.

And as soon as you use it, you will then accelerate to the next level, feel the excitement building again, acclimate to that, use it, build to the next level, feel the excitement again, acclimate to that, use it on and on and on forever.

Bashar: So the idea is not to feel that you have lost the feeling of excitement but that you have simply matched it and now you can use what previously to this point seemed to be more energy than you were used to using.

Asker: Okay, that sounds… I follow you however I… I don’t know what I desire to use the energy to do.

Bashar: All right. Why are you doing whatever you are doing in your life at this time?

Asker: Because that’s what I was doing before I left.

Bashar: Does that excite you? Do you know what you don’t want to do?

Asker: No. I’m feeling like I don’t know what’s going on.

Bashar: Is there something you are doing that you no longer prefer to do?

Asker: Yes. But I’m afraid of letting go of those things.

Asker: What would happen if you did? What do you fear would happen if you did?

Bashar: I… I’d become destitute on the street.

Asker: Oh, destitute. How dramatic.

Bashar: If you really stop and picture it, do you honestly, now you can say yes, I don’t care. Do you really honestly believe you will be absolutely destitute to the full extent of the meaning of that word?

Bashar: Of course not.

Asker: All right, then. Then you don’t have to be so melodramatic about it.

Bashar: You asked me what could happen.

Asker: Uh yes, but I am asking you what you really believe will happen. Not just what is possible for someone. What is possible for you? I’m talking to you.

Bashar: Maybe what I fear would happen is that I would let go of everything and nothing would come in to replace it and I would just…

Asker: How is that possible? I don’t know. Do you know as you have heard many times that nature does not allow a vacuum to exist?

Bashar: Yes.

Bashar: Then understand you cannot create a hole without something filling it. It’s not possible. There cannot be non-existence in your existence.

If you change things, they have to flow in the direction you change them into. They have to. Has no choice. No choice. You are at the controls. The way you steer is the way your whole reality will follow. Has to be that way.

Bashar: So is what you’re saying that I don’t have to have something to replace it with before I let go of something else?

Bashar: You already do have something to replace it with. And when you let go, you’ll find out what it is. The reason you don’t know what you want to do is because you’re not willing to let go of what you don’t want to do enough to allow yourself to realize what it is you already do somewhere within you know you really want to do. Did you understand that?

Some of it when you hold on to something you don’t want to do strongly enough, you may not make even enough room for even the awareness of what you want to do to come in. You have to let go a little bit, at least enough, at least to make at least enough room for the awareness of what you want to do to come in. You’re not letting go at all.

Let at least something go. You’re going to be in control. You can regulate it. You have that much control. Let it go at least a little bit and make at least enough room for this little teeny tiny awareness to come in and say, “Look over here. This… Well, all right. I won’t scare you. This might be something you would be interested in. I’m not saying you have to be excited about it right now, but this might be something you’re interested in.” Allow enough room to at least be aware of what it is that does excite you because you do know but you’re not allowing yourself to know that you know it.

Let me tell you I can do no better than this when you do that and when you trust it and act on it. The only thing I can tell you is that I absolutely guarantee it will work. But I can do no better than that. That’s up to you to find out. I and no one else can prove it to you. But you will prove it to yourself.

The second you decide that’s what you want to believe will happen. Remember believing is seeing not the other way around. So if you are not willing to believe it, you will not see it. But I guarantee it. The second you are willing to believe it, you will see it. And nothing can stop it. Nothing can stop it. Absolutely nothing can stop it. Nothing.

We once talked to a member of your society affectionately called the wizard and we gave an analogy, perhaps now this may or may not work for you but it might work for some of you. We are not saying that you have to literally believe this is true in a mechanical sense, but it might shake up your perspective. Turn it around a little bit. Rather than assuming that you have to in a sense pull something into existence, why not assume that anything that you do not specifically deny reality will come into existence? So that then all you have to think about are the things you don’t want and then everything else will happen. You can do it that way if that works better for you.

But understand every single circumstance has an equal opportunity and an equal energy to manifest in your reality. So simply take it for granted that all of the wonderful positive things that represent the person you say you would like to be will occur and the only things that won’t are the things you don’t prefer.

See if that works for you. But trust it. Allow yourself to be relaxed. Allow yourself to center. Allow yourself to meditate in a relaxed and joyful way. And remember, if you are actually enjoying the process of discovering, then you are not being impatient, waiting for something better to come along.

The more you enjoy where you’re at, the quicker you realize any other probable reality you may also desire to be. Wait, can you figure out once more? The sooner you enjoy where you are in the now, the more likely you make it that you will attract other opportunities for you to act upon. The longer it takes for you to enjoy where you are, the more you keep other opportunities at bay because you have not yet finished learning what you need to learn from where you are. Bashar: That’s so relax into where you are and that will create the space to let more things come in.

Handling Missed Opportunities and a Child’s Nightmares

Asker: You said that the abundance will always come and all that good stuff.

Bashar: All that good stuff. Yeah. That opportunities will present themselves.

Asker: Opportunities present themselves.

Asker: When an opportunity presents itself, yes, you don’t act on it.

Bashar: Yes.

Asker: Have you lost it forever or…

Bashar: No, it will come in another form.

Bashar: Always remember if you don’t act on it, then that’s a part of your lesson. You can then define why you didn’t act on it then. You can always use every circumstance to the positive. Always. Always. Always. Always.

Asker: Okay. And um, I just have one small question about my daughter.

Asker: She’s been having these… she’s a real happy child and pretty well adjusted.

Bashar: Well adjusted.

Asker: Yeah. For the crazy life that she leads.

Bashar: You got it.

Asker: And she’s been having these really… Okay, bad terminology. She’s going to be having these dreams, these bad dreams that are disturbing to her.

Bashar: Is there anything that I can do? What are they?

Asker: Well, about people taking her away.

Bashar: Taking her away? What is the age?

Asker: Five.

Bashar: Five. What kind of people?

Asker: She can’t tell me. Um, it’ll be most of the time it’s a man and most of the time it’s while she’s at school and she’s playing with her… And all of a sudden, somebody comes and tells her to go with them. And she says, “I can’t go. You know, my mommy won’t like it.” And the person keeps prodding her to do this. And when she wakes up, she’s very agitated. She’s shaking all over. And she’s just real fearful. And I’m wondering what’s going on or is there anything I can do or what is there?

Bashar: What kind of adjustments have you made in terms of sharing the idea of what type of society you live in? What type of sharing have you given this person? What have you told this person about the idea of self-protection? And how strongly have you stressed it?

Asker: Um, well, there have been… she’s real popular with all the grown-ups at school. And a lot of the times because I work at the school that she goes to, they come and she… she has an art class that she goes to and there’s a dance class that she goes to and there’s a lot of activities that she does. Yes. And they take her on days that she’s not supposed to go. And what I’ve talked to her teacher about is that it’s not okay for Katie to go during those days. That she needs to stay together.

Bashar: Well, because the other kids are starting to tease her and upset her because she’s getting all the special privileges and they’re not, right? That they go on their days, but Katie gets to go on all these other days.

Asker: So now she is creating the idea of a reluctance to learn new things.

Bashar: Oh, she is in this sense therefore not going with those individuals. Is afraid to go because of the consequences.

Asker: Oh, because her inner trust knows that those individuals will not do her harm, right? But the fear of the reactions around in that sense are what she is incorporating into her own fear structure. The idea that knowing she is free, knowing she can learn in different ways is at this time not acceptable to the structure of your society. This is what is represented by her nightmare.

Asker: Okay. So, I should just let it go or…

Bashar: You can talk with her about the idea that first of all, anyone who says anything that in your terms is a tease or something negative are simply reacting in and of themselves. Perhaps you can explain the idea of jealousies which those individuals sometimes are exhibiting.

Bashar: Also, you can teach her that she can teach them that they also can live lives like that. If they really actually like what they see happening to her, but are simply jealous because it’s not happening to them. Doesn’t mean they have to tease her. Give her back her power. Do not let her give her power away by accepting the idea of the invalidation against her. Okay? Teach her the idea that she can teach her friends to attract individuals who will take them places, show them new things. You follow me? That is one idea.

Let her know, let her know that she is learning as she needs to learn. That you appreciate and enjoy that she is learning in a unique and different way. So, she will at least have your approval.

Asker: Yeah, you follow me because at this stage you have taught a child in your planet that they need the approval of others.

So at least give her yours even though no one really needs anyone’s approval. And allow the child to know it is all right to learn in new ways. They will know the difference between when an individual does not have positive intentions toward them and they will automatically know when to go and when not to. Tell her to trust the idea of the feeling she has learned in all of the positive experiences and she will recognize a potentially negative one if and when it might be attracted by her fear.

Bashar: But most importantly, teach her that she is learning and that if she is enjoying what she is doing, then no matter what anyone else says, that has absolutely nothing to do with what she is getting out of it or what she can get out of it and allow her to tell the others that they do not have to be jealous and that they can attract into their lives the same degree of fun that she has attracted into her.

Asker: Okay. All right. That’s great. Thank you.

Bashar: And remember, you are also able to communicate in your dream reality. Tell her this. She can change the dream. In her dream, tell her when you dream, next time you dream, if you dream that again, stop everything in the dream. Tell her to say, “Wait a minute. This is my dream. You are all in my dream. I’ve tried. I will go where I wish to go and I will do what I wish to do because I know how to have fun, right? I know that I do not need to be afraid.”

Asker: Yes, you may have tried in that sense, but also remember to do it in your dream as well and that’ll help her.

Bashar: It can.

Asker: Yes.

Bashar: Okay. Thank you very much. Thank you. There will also be some other assistance. Simply open up and ask for it and the guides will be there.

Clearing the Solar Plexus Chakra and Processing Emotions

Asker: I’d like to ask you about the solar plexus. Lately, I’ve been interesting.

it is one of the connections to the future self. It is the chakra of intention.

Bashar: Okay. Does it have any relationship at the same time with the physical attraction of magnetism and other things?

Asker: It can related. It can because a beam, if you will speaking colloquially, can be projected that is the beam that represents the connection between you and what you are “quote unquote” becoming. And if there is a high degree of activity and energy in that personality-wise, as you say, it can have a very magnetic effect on other individuals in terms of attracting those individuals to reflect back to you specifically the things you need to learn to become that self you are becoming. So yes, it can be a searchlight. It can be a magnetic beam if you call it a tractor beam if you will to pull into you the idea of all the circumstances and relationships and situations that will allow you to fulfill and express your intention in life.

Asker: Okay. Yeah. What about my case for instance? I don’t know if it’s related to some negativity.

Bashar: That’s… Do you mean because it is uncomfortable?

Asker: Yes, sometimes.

Bashar: All right. In a sense, negativity. Yes. But again, mostly habitual rituals, things you are clearing out. That is all.

Asker: Okay.

Bashar: As you open it up, then there will be more than enough room for the energy to flow. It is still a little bit constricted. That is all.

Bashar: Allow yourself to be the future self now that you are becoming and then there will not be as much constriction.

Bashar: Is there any like real or something I could do mainly like emotions or whatever I feel it right there you know I have a lot of attention there.

Asker: Very good it brings you into the moment. Emotion energy motion yes you are dealing with many old beliefs okay it is your process you can accelerate it if you wish to how the way to accelerate it as we have already said most easily is to not necessarily think you need a long process but start acting like the you you imagine you’re becoming now.

Bashar: Okay. Imagine how you would like to be and start being that person.

Asker: Yeah. But still feel like a lot of emotion even thinking about that and I feel a little bit of… well I’ve been feeling something in there that you know.

Bashar: Well, that’s all right. Let it come. I haven’t been so hungry or something which is all right. But it’s something uncomfortable in there anyway.

Asker: It does not have to be. Okay. And the more you dive into it and go through it, the shorter amount of time it will last. Okay. Only assuming that you don’t want to deal with it makes it stick around and last longer.

Asker: Dive into it and you’ll be through it.

Asker: Like meditating to something or act through or explore.

Bashar: Yes. Meditate. Why am I feeling the way I am feeling? What am I believing? Am I fearing something? What am I fearing? If I’m fearing it, what am I fearing? Oh, that’s what I’m fearing. All right. Why am I fearing it? Well, first of all, I choose to acknowledge that I have chosen to fear it. Once I acknowledge that I have chosen to fear it, it’s back in my control. Do I still wish to fear it? No, I don’t.

Bashar: On your way. Okay. It is that easy. You can process it that quickly. Yes. If you are simply honest and clear with yourself. Okay. And acknowledge what you have created as your creation because you cannot transform what you do not own.

Overcoming Procrastination by Unifying the Means and the End

Asker: I had a real strong interest in going to Sedona 2 weeks ago. But then I said, “Oh, now I got this business cycles I got to do this go this week.”

Asker: So, it’s really interesting that all the business cycles didn’t need to be done that week after all. So, it turned out that would have been the best week to go.

Bashar: Trust your instincts.

Asker: So that was a small sharing.

Bashar: Thank you for that discovery. You are now a completely different person.

Asker: Good. Now I have a one question. I’m a procrastinator and there’s…

Bashar: Wait a minute. Just want you to feel at home.

Bashar: Very good. All right. Now, you may continue if you feel like it. Would you like to come back tomorrow?

Asker: No, I’m here. I’m all right once I get started here. It’s getting started that’s the hard part.

Bashar: Especially one more time. One more time. It’s what?

Asker: Getting started that’s the hard part.

Bashar: It’s getting started that’s the hard part. Is this another phrase that you have chiseled into steel? When in fact it’s only written on paper when in fact it’s only a belief when in fact it’s only a habitual way of looking at things. When in fact it’s only an assumption. “It’s getting started. That’s the hard part.” All right. Maybe that has been in the past your experience. But that doesn’t mean that right now it’s still not at this very moment an assumption all over again from scratch from the beginning. It is just an assumption. Why is getting started any harder than doing it? Your society has taught you that it is, but it doesn’t have to be. Not really.

Asker: It seems like when something is important, fear comes in.

Bashar: Doesn’t have to, but we recognize what you are saying. Yes. It goes hand-in-hand with many of the insecurities, the lack of deservability that many of you have been taught to believe in about yourselves. “I can’t do that.” But again, remember that if you can imagine it, that’s your signal that you can or you would have imagined something else.

Asker: This seems to be a pattern like you say.

Bashar: All right. But again, once you recognize it’s a pattern, it’s no longer a pattern. And that’s only an excuse.

Asker: But if you recognize the pattern, the pattern continues. It’s still a pattern.

Bashar: No, apparently. No. Oh, it’s not a pattern. No. Once you recognize it as a pattern, then if it continues, it’s because you choose to continue it consciously. Now, if you no longer choose it, then don’t continue it. But once you have recognized it was a pattern, it’s no longer a pattern. A conscious choice. The only thing that makes it seem as if it has to continue as a pattern is your assumption that it must. That’s it. It doesn’t have to.

Asker: Thank you very much. Does that assist you?

Bashar: Yes. Thank you for waking up a little bit more.

Asker: Good.

Bashar: Besides, you started this long ago. You’re already well on your way. Remember also that starting and doing is the same thing. It’s all one event.

If you cease to think of it as a beginning and a middle and an ending and in between here and how long is it going to take to get from there to there and so on and so forth. If you stop parceling it out, it will be more of a single spontaneous event with the beginning, the middle, the end, so to speak, all being very close and sometimes even overlapping and sometimes even the ending coming first.

Allow yourself more spontaneity and more trust and there will not have to appear to be so many beginnings to things. Remember, remember, remember the end and the means are not separate. The end is the means. The means is the end. One and the same thing. Cause and effect are the same event, one and the same act right now.

Dream Symbology: Abundance, Glaciers, and Dolphin Consciousness

Michelle: I’d like to ask a question about a relationship I’m in now. I’d like to start with the dream and see if that kind of opens itself up to…

This morning I had a dream of I appeared suddenly in a bar of a restaurant and it was a very expensive high-class restaurant and I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to get seating and there was a woman at the bar that just took to me and came to me right away and somehow she had some influence over this fancy restaurant and she got me a seat. Yes. and she sat with me and talked with me and she had some little like a crony or some somebody with her and she asked me if I wanted to go on this little adventure and I said okay. So we walked outside and the woman was French and there was something French about the whole field. And then we walked outside into the snow and we walked onto a peninsula that broke off and became a glacier and we were on the water on the glacier and when it first broke off I was afraid and I started to scurry and then her little crony turned into a mermaid and said, “Don’t worry, you won’t drown. You can hold on to me here.” So that was all fine. And so it was really great on the iceberg. And I looked to the right, I saw on some land a few hundred feet away, but it was like a tropical island, real lush and fertile and naked people walking around with kids. And I remember feeling, “Oh, I want to go there.” And I remember asking this woman and she said, “Not yet.” And we stayed on the glacier and we went back and it kind of broke and I to the mermaid and we got back and we got off and then I went back into this fancy restaurant.

Bashar: So how exciting. So how exciting. Yeah. First of all, the fancy restaurant symbol of your abundance in a sense of being supplied. Symbol also that you belong there and that you have the connections it takes. French because that’s very classy to you and has been in many lives and represents the level of elegance you actually desire in your life, right? But you have what it takes or you wouldn’t have been in that restaurant knowing who you know. The crony was your interpretation of a dolphin sharing the dream with you.

Bashar: And your friend was simply showing you that you are on route to create your own abundant paradise. You are almost there and you are doing it side by side with the dolphin consciousness to become the one society that will be the society of freedom on that tropical island. You are almost there.

Michelle: Okay. In a dream that I had the night before or a few nights before I had like my first major out of body experience.

Bashar: Oh major.

Michelle: Yeah. When I was younger, I always like would hang about six feet above my body and still feel kind of in, kind of out.

Bashar: Yes.

Michelle: And this was the first time I really like had the classical out of body was seeing the threat.

Bashar: Where did you go?

Michelle: I went out of the planet.

Bashar: Yeah. And it felt really great.

Michelle: You sound like it. Sounds like you believe it.

Bashar: Yeah. And you know once I got into the stars I had to try what you suggested about turning and looking upward because I couldn’t… I didn’t look to see what was out there. My focus was looking at the earth.

Bashar: Well that’s all right. So anyway…

Michelle: But I think it was like after a dream. So I was wondering well when you’re dreaming aren’t you out of your body anyway?

Bashar: Why would I sometimes… yes your focus can vary. You can be in a sense hovering within or around the confines of your auric field or you can be far more expanded in that sense. Now remember many times that the dream what you remember as a dream when you wake up is your physiological interpretation of an out-of-body experience and not necessarily the literal experience in the terms of the dream.

Bashar: So many times yes you are out of body but the way you remember it as a dream is not necessarily a literal interpretation of the actual out-of-body experience but your conscious mind’s symbology to represent the experience that you had.

Michelle: Yes many times you are out of body but what you remember as a dream is not necessarily literally representative of the trip you took but yes many times dream represent out of body phenomena.

Bashar: So the out of body thing that I had it felt different from a dream because I had had a dream just prior to that which I like in my dreams I’m really aware.

Bashar: All you did as we say is wake up in the dream and realize that you are always dreaming and that even this reality your physical reality is a dream. All right. You have now created less distinction, less separation between what you have for thousands of years called physical reality and dream reality. Or of course many of you do not even think the dream reality is real. But it is. But now you are knowing a) it is real and b) physical reality is simply one form of the same reality. No other difference.

Michelle: No other difference.

Bashar: Well, you know, it seems like I’m more excited in my dream state these days. My dream life is fantastic…

Michelle: And your physical reality can follow suit. Okay? As long as you understand there is no separation. And do not think that the dream reality is so much better than the physical reality. Allow them to remain as the same reality. And your physical reality will become just as malleable as the dream reality.

Bashar: Okay. Wake up in this dream as well and see it for what it is. What you imagine it to be physical reality. Literally. I am not speaking philosophically. I am speaking literally. Physical reality is only what you imagine it to be. It has no solid basis without you.

Bashar: It is you. You are it. Physical reality is the dream you are being right now.

Michelle: So that’s why I went back to the French restaurant because I got it.

Bashar: Okay. Thanks. Thank you very much. At this timing, you may all enjoy a short break and we will resume contact momentarily.

Break

Increased Sleep, Future Alien Contact, and Earth’s Unique Concept of Religion

Asker: I emptied my vacuum a few months ago and it’s been filling up at a pretty fast clip. But I find myself if I’m not mentally activated or physically activated wanting to be asleep.

Bashar: And sometimes again this will be a typical symptom for now for many of the connections you allow yourself to make with different aspects of your consciousness. For some of you still are more easily made while you are unconscious while you are asleep. So you will sleep very often to make all those connections and as soon as the connections are made you will then have more energy more awareness of those connections when you are awake and you will find yourself sleeping less.

Asker: I see. Thank you. Thank you. One other quick question. In this lifetime or in my lifetime, will we be sitting down to dinner with aliens such as yourself in your natural form?

Bashar: Yes. Although we may not eat what you eat, but it is a high probability, as we have said, within what you call the next decade of your time, two decades of your time, there will be far more opportunity for blatant interaction, as you call it. And within the format of three decades maximum, there will be a whole series of interactions going on in your society between our respective society.

Bashar: Thank you. Thank you for creating a conducive atmosphere to allow us to share with you the ideas that you are sharing.

Hello, Bashar. And who to… at one point you mentioned that this is the only planet that has religion as you understand it.

Asker: Yes.

Bashar: That does not mean that there are not different societies that have various forms of symbolic relationship representation between themselves and infinite creation. But the idea you call religion in the sense that you somehow do not think that the capacity for the relationship exists directly within you and place that capacity within someone that you follow. That we have rarely discovered anywhere else and never in the form that your society exhibits it. You follow me?

Asker: More or less?

Bashar: Uh, it’ll come. All right. The notion that we find most different is the apparent belief in a disconnection between yourselves and the infinite creator. In other words, that God is outside of you instead of the fact that you are God, that you are made of God, that everything is God, that there is no separation, that you do not need to follow someone to do such and such a thing and that such and such a thing is the only way to be God. That is what we find different about your planet. That individuals because there is such a high degree of limitation and separation in your history have simply created ideas and patterns that there is only one way to relate to the idea of a God that is separate from you to begin with instead of the idea that everything is God and therefore every way is another way that God has to be itself.

Asker: Does that define the difference?

Bashar: Yes.

Bashar: just the final part of that question is are you familiar with the siddha or siddha yoga?

Asker: Not by the definition you have given it.

Bashar: Not by the definition you have given it. Well, it’s a form of yoga and they basically teach you to meditate and meditate on the god that dwells within.

Bashar: Yes. Or the god part of you that’s there. There may be many things we do in our society that are similar to many things you do. We simply do not necessarily need the awareness of all the specific rituals that you have created around certain ideas that may be common to both of our society.

Asker: I see.

Bashar: So I’m wondering if there may be a faster way to reach spiritual ascendance.

Asker: The fastest way is always to do the thing that excites you the most because when you do the thing that excites you the most, you are matching the highest possible vibration in your reality. And it is the excitement that always lets you know what is in that sense the most spiritual thing you can do if you’re doing it with integrity. That’s it. Anything and everything that falls into that category is the way to accelerate most rapidly because remember physical reality is not non-spiritual. Your physical body is your spirit in physical terms.

So anything you do in an integrated manner using that high accelerated energy you call excitement will be an act of spirituality.
