Mysterious Light Experience

Gloria: my husband and I had an experience where we were asleep in bed and a woke with me sitting on the bed, a white light within the room that created no shadows—in other words, a very, very bright light.

My husband rolled off from the floor onto the bed into my arm. I felt absolutely no fear. He was quite frightened at that moment. And the light disappeared. Was that an extraterrestrial?

Bashar: There was connection to an extraterrestrial.

But it was also mostly simply interdimensional and also took place mostly in an astral state or quasi-planar reality between what you would call dense physicality and astral existence.

That is the reason why there were no shadows from the light, because you were not dealing with a hard-lined, hard-edged physiological experience.

The idea simply is that light, that recognition, that reflection is there to allow individuals to key off of it, to align as a reflection within themselves the ideas that are most true for themselves.

Some individuals have been taught to fear many of the pieces they have created themselves to be, such as the case with your husband in that sense—simply an old reaction to old definitions, to old beliefs when shown what the alignment, what the light is. That each and every one of you are, in a sense, shall we say graphically speaking, what you are doing is looking into a mirror and seeing the reflection of your own light. Some of you can take it, some of you can’t.

Gloria: But it was involving other dimensions of consciousness.

Bashar: You can colloquially say it was also of extraterrestrial connection, but for now I would leave that as a very loose definition.

Gloria: I would like to know since I have a very strong sense of the fact that I am connecting on a constant basis probably most nights, interdimensional. I would like to know how I can activate my memory in order to bring into the physicality the information.

Bashar: Very simple. Are you doing in your life what excites you the most?

Gloria: Yes, yes I am.

Bashar: Then that’s how. That’s all you need to do. Remember that the memory of these ideas, the memory of the communication, does not have to be analytical. And many times you don’t want it to be because in your terminology it will only get in the way of you acting spontaneously. Right? If you are doing what excites you the most, then you are using the information in the way that serves everyone else the best. Don’t worry about having an empirical knowledge of all the specifics. Many times the specifics will only allow you to become overly analytical and in a sense will trip you up, will slow you down.

Gloria: I’m very glad you reassured me that there was nothing more. Now one more little area. And that is, I am going to Bora Bora tomorrow, and I would like to know if is that any—everyone that comes back from there talks about it being magical. So I assume that it got some kind of slightly different energy.

Bashar: Why are you going?

Asker: For the joy of it, for the joy of being there.

Bashar: That joy is what allows it to be magical. Yes. For that area, shall we say, is very loosely structured.

Asker: Yes. When you say that it’s very loosely structured, I imagine that my entire vacation will be very loosely structured.

Bashar: Quite spontaneous.

Asker: Precisely. Does that also have to do with the density of the atmosphere?

Bashar: Atmosphere vibration. Wonderful. Perfect.

Asker: Thank you. Bless you. For there are many, many, many consciousnesses focused in that area, and the thickness of the air so to speak is the thickness of the energy of all the different consciousnesses in levels and dimensions of reality that are aware of that energy and also sharing their joy with it. So in fact, the best way at all times to tune in to more and more information is through joy.

Asker: Absolutely.

Bashar: Because every time you choose to lighten up, you are enlightened.

Asker: Absolutely, absolutely. That’s all it means. Wonderful. Wonderful. Blessing.

Bashar: Thank you. We know that when you go there, you will be far from bored.

Conversation: Question about Flotation Tank and Atlantean Connections

Asker: Good evening Bashar and good day to you. I’m going to ask my question first and last—first and last. Yes. All right. My question will be, how does all of that seem to you? And I will weave a little story here first.

Bashar: Weave away.

Asker: Okay. I’ve always considered myself to be an explorer of sorts.

Bashar: Oh, all sorts. How many sorts have you explored?

Asker: Limitless.

Bashar: All right. Do continue.

Asker: All right. Last year in July I got into something which I had information on previously but hadn’t done myself. And in that particular experience, I began to find that I was no longer grounded, for one because this particular procedure is in a flotation tank. In this intervening period of time I have spent two to three hours a week floating. Literally not grounded.

Asker: I went in with no preconceived ideas of what I would experience. And so my first five minutes in the tank was spent laughing like a crazy person because of this new float experience—the weightlessness, yes, and many other things. Okay, going along into the story, I started seeing things. As I went back into the tank I saw more things, and I contacted people in different places from that which I was familiar with. Mainly what I would call Atlantis. I met a group of people which was a council—they call themselves a Council of Six. Yes. This Council of Six people, and I sat in the room and they had bodies but they didn’t seem to have distinguishable heads. Their heads glowed. From there I went on to four other people who showed me through pyramids and have been showing me in three different pyramids many different areas of Atlantean culture. Okay. These people I considered to be like guides to that particular area.

Asker: Now as I keep going back to these people, this Council of Six, they say we’ll let you keep coming in to pull out information as long as you pass it along to others.

Bashar: Yes. That is the applicability which keeps you grounded. Okay.

Asker: Now most recently when I was in the tank, which was about a week and a half ago, I came in contact with these people and this burning question had been arising because I would see these people of this Council of Six suddenly go into one, and then they go back into six. They’re playing tricks before me. So I asked them, “Where do you come from?” And we took off and it was like—well, I don’t suppose you’ve seen the movie Star Wars, but it is within the memory of the channel. How about hyperspace? Okay, it was that fast travel. Yes. And we, they took me, or it took me, or whatever, to their home. And I experienced that experience when I was in the tank. There was probably a tidal wave because my body shook so much and my hair and the tank—the water in the tank is the same as the temperature of a person’s skin, and yet my hair was standing on end. It was an electrifying experience. I loved every minute of it. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. So I’ve asked the question, you know, and they told me. They showed me where they come from. And when I was there, this name came through, and I am not one to read on names that understand—okay, Ashtar. Yes, that’s the name that came through. Yes. Okay. And I’m saying, “Why me?” You know. And the answer is, “That’s right, you know.” Because you’ve been doing this for a long time anyway.

Bashar: Yes. You are to some degree. Now we have used this term now and then for a few of you. It does not always mean precisely the same thing from person to person, but we use it as a general term and we can use that term again now. It’s because you are a pilot and you are familiar with that idea of navigation into different dimensions.

Asker: All right. Now what they want me to do is to play out the whole thing through various media avenues here. I’m a physician. I work all day and this sort of thing in my office. I’m saying, “What the hell am I doing here anyway, you know?” Yes. And they said, “Don’t worry, you can leave your office and we’ll have somebody else there to run it for you, and you have plenty of income, and you can do your movies and write your books and all of this sort of thing.” And so yeah, I guess I’m supposed to do this, you know. I don’t have any disagreement with it.

Bashar: It is not a “supposed to” in the sense that they are forcing you to. It is simply what you have agreed to do.

Asker: Yeah, it was something that I agreed to do, and that was the initial contact. Was like I said, “We’ll let you keep coming back as long as you agree to do this.” And I kept wondering what the heck I had agreed to do a long time ago.

Bashar: What excites you the most?

Asker: Yeah, while doing something like this and furthering my explorations.

Bashar: Yes. And also you will find that some of the teaching methodologies that you also used in your Atlantean incarnations were similar to the notion of the tank itself. The types of meditative states you would allow other individuals to get into so that they could, under your guidance, learn to explore in that sense the idea of different dimensions. Now the nomenclature, the vibration of Ashtar, is representative of a particular, shall we say, faction of consciousness. It is not as many of you think it to be. A lot of the interpretation many of you have of the idea of Ashtar is a physicalized one that makes the most sense in your reality. They are not precisely what many of you think them to be exactly in the way you picture them. Also, some of the idea that you experienced energetically of their, shall we say, home also entailed being taken through—this is your experience—being taken through the doorway, the gateway of the star system of Sirius, and then, shall we say, deflected on to the system of Arcturus.

You can apply these ideas in very pragmatic ways into your physiological reality through the things you wish to give voice to, through the things you wish to give picture to, sound to, through your art, through your creativity. And also you may find that you may wish to—it’s up to you—recreate the idea of creating that atmosphere for other individuals. So once again, as you did in Atlantean times, you can allow them to learn to expand their consciousness to also explore those different realms. Again, that exploration of sorts has to do with the idea of the fact that you are a pilot and you are very familiar with exploring different dimensions of reality already. Now you can simply apply that same idea in yet one more way, just in the same way as you have applied it in thousands of ways through thousands of lifetimes since Atlantis. It’s up to you.

Asker: I feel that I am living many careers in this one lifetime in this way.

Bashar: Yes. You are blending. And therefore that is why we are saying not only can you have the creative expression you have talked about in terms of a particular type of format in presenting the information itself, but you can also recreate many of the methodologies you have used in the various lifetimes to act as assistants, as methodologies, as techniques, as atmospheres, as environments so that other individuals may also take advantage of that particular knowledge and learn to expand themselves in various ways as well. You can do this through the idea of workshops. You can do it through the idea of setting up your own kind of meditative areas that people can go into to get in touch with themselves in whatever way they want to. It is up to you. As an analogy, do remember that from time to time the idea of our communication with your civilization through the channels we communicate with is to some degree augmented by what we typically refer to as our computer consciousness aboard our spacecraft. And you will find that I in many cases of these transmissions am in a state of repose similar to the idea of you being in your tank, so that I am assisted and augmented to be able to project my consciousness through my dimension to your dimension so that you can perceive this interaction going on in much the same way that you perceived visiting that group’s home world. You understand?

Asker: I understand. There are on our mother ships many cubicles that function as augmentation chambers. They are not filled with water in that sense, but they are very similar to the idea of being placed in a chamber that augments the consciousness in a way that allows you to know that what’s going on in your imagination as this conversation is right now within mine is also real. Understand?

Asker: Oh, I do. This is an interesting thing that I have to share with you. I feel like I’m having a conversation with myself right now.

Bashar: You are. Yes. I mean with what you’re talking about, you are. Yeah. Okay. You are literally having a conversation with yourself because now I am literally having a conversation with myself right now. Okay. But what you’re saying are many thoughts that I’ve had about doing exactly that for other people.

Bashar: Yes. And I didn’t want to do something which was a setup, for example flotation tanks as a center for…

Bashar: Doesn’t have to be precisely that way. Whatever inspires you the most.

Asker: All right. Okay. But I did find—I just wanted to share with you and the other people here—that I found that the environment of the tank was beneficial not that it would necessarily be for everybody, but it was. And the other thing is I don’t have to ask my question again. What do you think?

Bashar: I have a suggestion. You can set up a pilot training course.

Genetic Restructuring and the Asteroid

Asker: I’ve been learning for sometime now about the genetic restructuring that’s possible within the body and also that’s happening in humanity at this time. At least this is my concept—that there’s a genetic restructuring happening which is sort of propelling humanity into the Aquarian age. Do you have any information on the possible stages of this transformational process?

Bashar: One of the things we can share with you at this time is that your genetic code is now allowing for the creation of a higher concentration of silicon in your bodies so that you can become more, shall we say, receptive to the same types of energy that crystalline structures are sensitive to.

Asker: Thank you. And I’m also aware of a connection between this genetic change and what’s called the 100th monkey phenomenon, and I’m wondering if you could comment on that.

Bashar: This idea can cause what you call rapid genetic mutation, but it isn’t necessarily genetic mutation that has to happen in order for a spontaneous change to occur in your society.

When a certain number of individuals, when a certain percentage of individuals know a certain thing, if that knowledge of those percentage of individuals—a small percentage of individuals in your society—is aligned with the general idea of the direction your society is going in, in such a way as to aid in the acceleration of that direction, then the remainder of your society will generally, just through many mentality, just through telepathic alignment, fall into step with that particular direction and add to the accelerated energy.

Whether it is a genetic change or not, sometimes the genetic change will occur because of that falling into step, because of that acceleration.

But it isn’t always necessary, and a genetic change physiologically speaking doesn’t always happen—at least not on that level.

A change to some degree always happens physiologically, but what we are simply saying is that it doesn’t always manifest in your terminology in the genetic code itself in order that a physical change simply does occur.

Because every thought you have changes your physicality. That doesn’t mean that the genetic code from one moment to the next has to appear very different in order for you to understand that physically you have completely changed with every single thought.

So it doesn’t always manifest in the genetic code even though you have completely physically changed from one moment to the next. You can’t always rely on the genetic code to show you that you have changed.

Sometimes sociological events will be what will show you that certain things have changed. The ability to talk about a particular subject that wasn’t there before will show you that there has been a change, shall we say, in the psychic genetic code even though it may not be apparent in the physiological one.

Asker: I have heard from a couple of sources that there is an asteroid that is at present heading towards our planet that somehow left the asteroid belt and is heading towards our planet and will impact this planet in May of this year.

Bashar: No.

Asker: Good. I was asking if this was accurate. First of all, there are many asteroids and many fragments and many debris which do approach your planet and many planets within many systems quite regularly. Many of these you do not even hear about because they simply pass by. Now the idea to some degree is mostly symbolic. What you call your May month is a highly energized time of transition and of transformation upon your planet. It will create a very large impact so to speak, but the idea has simply been translated into a physiological circumstance that is not our perception. Now we do not have absolute, shall we say, ability to catalog every single spec of substance within your solar system. We do not always know where every single idea, every single body is at any given moment. It is our perception at this time however that the field of intersection of planetary with your planet would seem to be relatively nil, as you say.

Bashar: The idea of associating it to an asteroid is simply because many of you make associations with planetary happenings to the ideas astrologically speaking of the heavens, and therefore sometimes assume that when you see certain things played out on your charts, on your energy agreement charts, you think that it absolutely must play out physiologically in your surrounding solar system. Many times the indications you get on the charts are indications of energy events. Again, the analogy that a psychic impact will happen, that something will hit from one dimension to another, but not necessarily that it has to manifest in your physiological surroundings in again the same way that there can be a psychic impact without necessarily experiencing it in the physiological genetic.

Mars Pyramids and Deities

Asker: Are the pyramidal formations photographed by NASA’s Mars Orbiter artifacts of a civilization or merely mountains?

Bashar: There is to some degree an artificial construction to them. A couple of them are not artificial, but a few of them are.

This will lead many of you to realize in what you call a very scientific way within the next couple of your decades some of the ideas about, shall we say, the origin points of your civilization or other points that your civilization has been connected to in the past.

Asker: How long ago was that civilization? How long ago were they constructed?

Bashar: Longer than 100,000 years. We do not have a precise calculation from our dimension of time to yours.

Asker: Were they Homo sapiens, were they ancestors of ours?

Bashar: They were mostly the blue skin range. They are not strictly human, but they are and were humanoid. There was in early times upon your planet intermixing a long time ago.

Asker: The physician mentioned the goddess Ishtar.

Bashar: It was Ashtar, a different connotation.

Asker: why was the goddess Ashtar in the Hebrew Old Testament at odds with the Hebrew God Yahweh?

Bashar: The idea has to do with old belief system influxes of old belief systems that reincarnated upon your Earth back in those times and met face to face with the systems that already existed.

The systems of belief that already existed upon your planet in the cultures that already existed upon your planet when that new reincarnational influx from other civilizations came in.

Some of the definitional differences that occurred as they existed on your planet and as they came in from the other civilizations caused conflict to occur.

Some of this is responsible for the formation of some of the religions that you now have upon your planet. These early conflicts, these early dichotomies in the belief systems from one system to another.

Multiple sclerosis and Family Deaths

Moren Midnight: My name is Moren Midnight. 3 years ago I was in my career following my career and I had a neurological breakdown and my whole body became semi-paralyzed. the neurologist diagnosed me as probably having multiple sclerosis.

I was under emotional and physical and spiritual stress from learning that, because I knew nothing about it. And I got better. And then six months later my father passed away from a heart attack, and then three months after that my brother died from heroin and alcohol. And I’ve been dealing with my other brother on drugs since then, with the fear we could lose him. I see. So a twofold question also is that I have had periodic relapses with my own body.

I have done a shift of energy as of last year and I’ve become strong and I’ve done a lot of spiritual work and I have come a long way emotionally, spiritually, and physically. And I have been learning a lot, just like you said. And so my question is, what can you tell me further about this, and also anything to do with the deaths and how to work with my brother now?

Bashar: Some of what you are experiencing has to do with connections into agreements in other lives, in past lives, that you are carrying over with your family in this present life.

You have all made agreements together to reflect certain things, to create certain apparent limitations, certain high degrees of focus to allow you to expand in very different ways, in very bold ways, in very energetic ways. Now sometimes individuals, because of what they are taught to believe, choose to create that expansion in negative ways.

Sometimes, not meaning to be factitious, expand themselves out of physical reality because they don’t know how to handle it. They don’t know how to keep it within the idea of the physical reality they chose to be born in. So the idea will be that they will lose touch with their self-empowerment and in that sense will feel that they must start, as you say, from scratch, must clean the slate and reincarnate again, going into the very same scenarios to relearn the idea from a position of power.

You have learned the idea from a position of power. You are learning how to transform the idea in a way that allows you to maintain your focus in the physical reality and accelerate that physical reality, to create the energy system, the energy atmosphere, that other individuals that have made this agreement to whom you are attached only believed was possible by detaching themselves from the physical reality to begin with completely.

They found the expansion they desired in the physical death. They found the relief they desired in the physical death. It gave them an opportunity to refocus their thoughts so to speak, reassess their understanding of their approach in that physical life, and come to terms with the realization that they can reincarnate, create the same scenarios—generally not meaning they have to experience the same ideas of disease, but the same ideas of limited focus—so that now they can learn that that idea of limited focus is only because of the definitions they buy into, and that really life does not hold them in check.

It is only their definitions that hold life itself in check. You are beginning now to understand that your definitions are responsible for the type of life you live, whereas simply their belief did not allow them to break beyond the notion that life in that sense is responsible for their definitions—that life happens to them. You are learning that life happens through you, not to you. Now the more you are willing to live as an example of this idea, the more you can act as a living reflection for any other individual who still remains in your physical reality that have also agreed to go through similar ideas of limitation, similar ideas of restriction, similar ideas of focus.

To some degree, in some of the other lives you have functioned many times as a mother for all these individuals that you are referring to. And to some degree you have now chosen this life to somewhat detach yourself from that position to function more as an equal, yet you retained some of the qualities that they could look to if they chose to. But you made it less obvious so that they would be far more on their own. Now at first it may seem as if they have not learned that they could fly and have in a sense fallen out of the physical nest into another dimension beyond your reach. They are not beyond your reach. They are not beyond their reach. They are just fine. They are being assisted in that sense and have always been assisted from the non-physical side to reorient them, to allow them to understand what it was they were going through in the physical life, what the lesson was they wanted to learn, what the focus was that they put themselves through to learn that lesson, and how they can expand that focus when they reincarnate if they choose to. It seems very likely that they will choose to. When they choose to reincarnate in physical reality, they can then go through the same exploration with not quite the same degree of restrictive feeling, for the restrictions they create. You can learn to do this now. You have given each of you have given yourselves a particular idea of restriction, of limitation according to what you thought would represent the direction you wanted to expand into. So in other words, you chose a style of limitation that when you broke through it would give you the expansion, the type of expansion you believed as a spirit, as a soul, that you wanted to experience.

Moren Midnight: I understand you’re talking more about the ones my loved ones who have died rather than the one who is on the drugs and dealing with the pain of the living death he’s going through.

Bashar: Well, that as well though. We are talking about that as well because that is a particular style of limitation. And that particular style of limitation has to do with putting your power into the objects around you. That is the whole notion of addiction—is assuming that the objects, that the symbols around you are what contains the power you seek, and therefore having to rely upon them by not feeling that the power is within you to change your reality. That is what addiction is all about.

Your particular idea of choosing that supposed—I will say alleged disease, for it is not something that really was very strongly ingrained within you—only enough was it ingrained within you to give you a diagnosis from an individual that would allow you to focus on what you needed to focus on. It is not very strongly ingrained within you. It is quite malleable, quite flexible in you because you are still the mother figure in that sense and you are still quite a bit more flexible than your children. They are still learning, and you can teach them. And one of the easiest ways you can reflect to them, one of the easiest ways you can teach them, is by functioning in full capacity with the unconditional love but not taking responsibility for them, being responsible to them, by being equal and allowing them to see how they can be equal to everything in life. That’s the key—learning to know that you are equal to everything in life because it is a projection of your thoughts, your beliefs, your emotions.

Bashar: So your focus, your limitation, in no way, shape, or form is as, shall we say, binding as theirs.

Moren Midnight: I feel that very strongly, and I feel that I’ve let my brother go who is now using the drugs, and I’ve let him do his thing and be who he is.

Bashar: And now this does not mean that you cannot continue to act as an example. It does not mean that you cannot in a sense share the idea that he has the capability of finding his own power. It does not mean that you do not help him, but you do not force anything, nor can you force anything upon anyone else.

Moren Midnight: What about my physical symptoms? I’ve been through a lot of pain—emotional, physical, spiritual—just a horrifying thing I’ve been through, and I still have periodic symptoms—my eyes, my neurological system.

Bashar: What is pain? Do you have a definition?

Asker: My definition of pain is that it is discomfort I cause. It’s caused by…

Bashar: What causes pain? What causes the sensation you call pain?

Asker: Well, what’s causing it is—I feel maybe this is not what you want to hear—but I feel it’s my neurological system which is the core of my being. And I have become a lot stronger, but there still are various symptoms that keep me from having my career.

Bashar: What is your career? The career you desire to have.

Asker: Well, the career I did desire was to be involved with the public, performing, acting. Well, I’ve obviously it’s thrown me into—I have had a full life of being involved with the metaphysical and the…

I’ve become much more involved with homeopathics and healing and nurturing and mothering, what you’re talking about, and working with people.

Bashar: And the most at the same time that you consider that, do understand that they do not have to be mutually exclusive. They can coexist.

Asker: That’s what I’m looking forward to, if these symptoms will all… So my basic question is, if you can tell me anything to do to further the… We’re getting there. We’re getting there. First, in a moment I will give you our definition of pain. Okay. But right now I prefer to continue with the questioning of the idea of your career. Now you say the pain keeps you from the career.

Asker: So performance. All right.

Bashar: The next question I would ask you is this: do you have any fears about succeeding?

Asker: No, I don’t feel I do. And I feel that I have fear of the stress—any stress that you see—stress makes my symptoms ignite more.

Bashar: Thank you. Thank you. Now you are hitting, as you said, the nail squarely on the head. Why do you define your career as having to contain stress?

Asker: I was under the assumption that your career is something that would give you joy.

Bashar: It does. And it’s also…

Asker: Lots of things that give you joy give you stress?

Bashar: Your pardon? What an absolutely fascinating and creative definition. However, I choose not to buy into it. Things that give you joy do not give you stress. I’ll rephrase that.

Asker: The things that give me joy do not give me stress.

Bashar: Yeah. Things that give me stress, in that sense by definition, are not the things that give me joy. Understand? Where did you get this definition that the things that give you joy give you stress?

before you go on, no, no, no. That may have been the definition you had. Of course, that’s what happened. If that’s the definition you have of reality, if the things that give you joy in your belief system give you stress, then you cannot possibly be surprised that when you receive stress when you attempt to do something you enjoy.

That’s what happened because that’s the definition you have. Now do you prefer that definition?

Asker: No.

Bashar: Then why keep it? Why not allow yourself to prefer to believe that the things that give you joy give you joy—give you ecstasy, give you health, give you balance? Why should you assume, just because other people in your society have said this is the way it is, that joy must bring stress? Where is that written? Or chiseled into the fabric of existence? It’s not a law of the universe.

Asker: Well, I don’t believe that. I think you’re coming at me very strongly because I’ve…

Bashar: It’s a statement I said. For instance, when I was sitting there I can perform in front of a group—sitting over there—my heart was pounding a hundred miles a minute because I get very nervous.

Bashar: Why in front of people?

Asker: Why? Because I think I’m afraid of being judged.

Bashar: And so what? You are the only one who is judging yourself, regardless of what they do. The only way you can feel their judgment is if you accept it as true, which means you are the ultimate judge of yourself. Understand?

Asker: Right.

Bashar: So you think all of this emotional is creating my yes.

Bashar: A lot of your definition, your belief system, is what is creating your pain. Because here is our definition: all pain—mental pain, spiritual pain, emotional pain, physical pain—all pain is the result of resisting your natural self. That’s it. So when you create a definition that says my natural self is this idea that would give me joy, and then add into that equation the idea that joy gives you stress, you are discounting your natural self. You are contradicting your natural self. You are creating friction with two contrary and opposing definitions and forcing them together. And that friction is experienced—that friction of ideology, that friction of definition—is translated in your physical body as pain. Understand?

Asker: Mhm.

Bashar: So you do not have to prefer to believe that what gives you joy should cause you stress. I understand the idea of the habitual rituals that many of you have bought into, but examine your definitions. Clarify your definitions. For you see, the only reason that your disease has manifested neurologically is because your nerves represent the lines of communication within you, and you have crossed your circuits with contrary definitions. You have short-circuited yourself, and it has manifested in a disease of the nervous system because those are the lines of communication within your body. Understand? So clean your lines of communication by clarifying your definition. What gives you joy gives you joy. What gives you stress gives you stress. If you insist that what gives you joy gives you stress, you are going to find yourself short-circuiting, cross-wired. Understand?

Asker: Mhm. So if something gives me stress and I’m fearful of it, it really isn’t actually giving me joy?

Bashar: Obviously not at that time. You’re not allowing it to. No. You are interpreting the situation as a stressful one, and you are acknowledging the idea that the energy will come to you in stressful ways. So of course you’re going to feel it that way. You’re going to manifest it that way physiologically because your physical reality is only what you define it to be. Remember, your definitions are physical reality. Physical reality does not have an empirical existence apart from the definitions you created it to be. That’s all it is. That’s all physical reality is. The only difference between what you call physical reality and non-physical reality is that you have defined physical reality as solid. That’s it. It’s the only difference. Therefore, as you think it, so it is. Many individuals create apparent disease and friction and blocks and resistance in their life not because there is anything empirically or inherently difficult about the idea they have chosen, but simply because of the definitions they have assigned to the ideas that they have chosen. That’s why many individuals do not receive the things they say they want to receive because they have attached to it a negative definition that at the same time they don’t want, so it keeps everything locked in stalemate. And that creates resistance, it creates effort, and it makes you tired. Understand?

Asker: I understand. So clarify the definitions, right?

Bashar: Yes. And allow yourself to realize that whatever definition you determine is the definition you prefer, that’s what will stick. And you don’t need any more reason other than you say so. That’s why.

Asker: Mhm. And being positive, yes. Attitude is everything. Many people think, “Well, all right, positive attitude, that’s all well and good, but how does it really affect the real reality?”

Bashar: That definition in and of itself allows your positive attitude to become impotent because you are saying there is a real reality that your positive attitude cannot affect, instead of understanding that your attitude is the reality you experience because it is absolute physics, absolute mechanics. All circumstances and all situations are fundamentally neutral—blank, empty, devoid of meaning. No circumstance has built-in meaning from creation. You are the assigners of meaning. That’s what all the individuals within creation do. That’s how all the individuals within creation co-create with the infinite. You take the neutral props that have already been created, the potential realities, the infinite dimensional probable futures that have already been created, and you assign a meaning to it that makes that particular future relevant to you and therefore capable of being experienced physically by you. But the type of meaning you assign determines how you get to experience it. So if you automatically assign a negative definition, a negative meaning, a negative experience is all you can expect. If you assign a positive meaning with a positive attitude, a positive experience is all you can get. It’s simple physics. That kind of reality, that kind of experiential reality, does not have a mind of its own. It’s absolutely at your mercy.

Bashar: The reality you get is the product of the way you have defined it. That’s why when you see a physical manifestation occurring that you don’t prefer, it is there to show you that you have a belief system, a definitional system that is at odds with what you want. Use the fact that you are experiencing something you don’t prefer to put you in touch, to allow you to meditate, to allow you to examine yourself and put you in touch with what kind of a definition you would have to have in order to create this kind of a reality. When you have gotten in touch with what the definition is, you can clarify it. You can say, “Well, why would I continue to choose to believe in this which doesn’t reflect what I prefer to believe in?” As soon as you understand that all definitions are equal to any other definition, you will also understand that the one definition you have had has no more intrinsic power than any other definition you could have. So you will say, “All right, this is the definition I have had. Now what’s the definition I prefer to have? It’s this.” Write it out, spell it out, see it in clear letters, burning letters, whatever it takes to get your attention. See it, whatever it takes to get you excited. See it that way. And then know beyond a shadow of a doubt that what you now see, what you have now redefined, is the new reality. No two ways about it. No dichotomy. This definition is from this point forward your reality. Act like that is true. Have the conviction to understand that the new definition is just as valid as the old one. You got all the old reality from the old definition. There were no gaps, there were no flaws, there were no hesitations. The universe delivered instantly the reality that was representative of your old definition. There is no reason why the universe should not just as quickly deliver the reality that is representative of the new definition you have assigned to it. Understand?

Moren Midnight: It helps, and I agree with everything you’ve said.

Bashar: Well, thank you. And I have come a long way in strengthening myself, and I plan on going a lot further. And thank you very much. Everything is infinite in all directions. You have all the time in creation and all the creation in time. It’s all up to you and all within you. And we thank you for your exploration and we thank you for the unfolding of the persona you chose to be. Thank you for the connections that you have made and the connections and relationships you allow to be reflected back and forth to each other as aspects of the infinite looking at itself from all the different directions that it can. Thank you very much. Our love to you all.

Announcement

A new cycle of our interactions will begin in a workshop format.

The first shall be “Persona Reconstruction” wherein we will learn how to define what you are as a personality and step by step how to reinvent, how to redesign the person you are into the person you prefer to be, with the history and the future and the present that goes along with that.

Dog Attacks and Self-Love

Asker: I love to go hiking alone in the mountains. However, recently I was—not in the mountains but in the city—I was attacked by a dog, by a German Shepherd. I started paying more attention to all the reports in the news about attacks by pit bulls and other dogs. I’m wondering why we’re having so much publicity about this now, and how I can deal with my fear about it.

Bashar: There will be many specific symbologies for all the different individuals that exist, but there are also general symbologies, general meanings that you have assigned as a society to different symbols in your reality. And the dog generally represents service in your society. The idea now is that your society is being forced by that symbol to start looking at the whole issue of service—of being of service, of serving, and automatically being served by serving others in that sense. That is the general foundation. The idea of the lack of willingness that has existed in general in your society to serve and to support the whole society is now causing, to some degree, a reaction in the symbol that represents service so that it does, however, it can propel you towards facing those ideas within yourself that allow you to come to terms with how you can be of broader service, not only outwardly but in a sense in learning to love the self so that in loving the self you can be of service in the most beneficial ways outwardly to all members of your society.

Asker: Is there a specific meaning to the symbol of what you have called the animal German Shepherd?

Bashar: To you? It’s a very strong animal. A very strong animal.

Asker: All right. Do you believe that your strength is equal?

Bashar: No, why not? Not after being attacked by one.

Bashar: All right. Why not?

Asker: Because I approached it very openly at first. I thought he was just being friendly with me and I love dogs. All right. And I was very shocked when he attacked me.

Bashar: What did it get you to examine?

Asker: It did get me to examine the issue of self-love.

Bashar: All right. How so?

Asker: I had been berating myself for a mistake that I had made. I see. And this happened at about the same time and the circumstances were very similar.

Bashar: So you are telling me that because you poured out the love to that animal, you did not deserve to be bit?

Asker: Yes. Yes.

Bashar: In the same light, why do you deserve to punish yourself? Why do you not deserve absolute self-love?

Asker: Well, I guess there’s definitely a connection there, isn’t there?

Bashar: Yes. Why are you so hard on yourself?

Asker: I don’t know. Why am I? Tell me.

Bashar: I don’t know. I’ve been working on this for years and years and years.

Bashar: All right. May I ask you a question?

Asker: Yes.

Bashar: Do you have in any way, shape, or form in your imagination a concept of what it would be like to love yourself fully as you can unconditionally?

Asker: A very dim one. I’m a lot more able to understand loving everyone else and having everyone else love each other and love me.

Bashar: Oh, all right. All right. How is it that you can love anyone else if you are not a whole being? How can you give love if you do not believe you are complete enough to receive love from yourself? If you do not think of yourself as a whole idea, how can you give anything to anyone that follows?

Asker: And I have thought of that and sat with that.

Bashar: May I ask you another question?

Asker: Yes. Oh, thank you. This is very much fun.

Bashar: It is for me too. Thank you. Do you believe you fit in creation?

Asker: Often times I feel that I do not fit in my environment.

Bashar: All right. May I ask you another question? Please feel free to ask any questions.

Asker: Oh, thank you very much. I’m attempting to be very polite.

Bashar: How is it mechanically possible for something that exists in a certain environment to not belong in that environment?

Asker: Well, mechanically it’s not possible, is it?

Bashar: No. Therefore, where you are is where you fit. You cannot be where you do not fit, and you cannot experience a reality you are not the vibration of. Conversely, whatever reality you do experience is what you are the vibration of now. Generally, if you exist in a reality where you have a desire to love all beings, where you recognize the idea of love that you wish to share it, that you wish to give it, that you wish to support—if you have been able to concoct that kind of a notion, if you have been able to conceive of that kind of a service, how could you yourself not belong to that energy? How could you not fit in that particular event? And while you’re pondering that, if you are talking about being desirous of giving unconditional love, how can it be unconditional if you’re not included?

Asker: You’re quite a logician, aren’t you?

Bashar: When I am forced to be by your society.

Asker: Yes. Do you have an answer?

Bashar: No, I’m speechless.

Bashar: That will do. Many times simply the knowing itself is sufficient. You don’t have to say anything if you understand what I am saying.

Asker: Well, I’m feeling it, so I must understand it.

Bashar: Very good. Very good. One more time. I am feeling it, so I must understand it. I am feeling it, so I must understand it. Now that’s conviction, and that’s deserving ability, and that is self-love. Who says that you are incapable of self-love? Not you, because you have just demonstrated it fully. “I am feeling it, so I must understand it.” You believe in yourself and that is self-love. See how simple it is? You don’t have to work on it for years.

Asker: Well, I had a feeling that was the case and if I just talked to you about it I could figure out how not to have to spend more years on it.

Bashar: Have you figured it out, then?

Asker: Well, I feel it, so yes, I must understand it.

Bashar: Yes, you do. You belong. You are made out of unconditional love. That’s what everything and everyone is made of, because unconditional love is the infinite, is existence itself. It is the prime medium. Unconditional love. You must deserve it or you wouldn’t exist. Obviously the Infinite Creation believes you deserve it or you wouldn’t have been created, would you have?

Bashar: Infinite Creation does not make extraneous and pointless creations. Does not create things that don’t fit. So if you exist, if you exist, you must somehow deserve to—at least in the eyes of the Infinite Creation. So why not treat yourself with the same respect? Why argue with Infinite Creation about your deserving ability?
