Changing Core Beliefs

[joke about changing light bulbs]

The Four Ds: An Overview

Bashar: You are going from 3D to 4D.

We explain the four Ds:

1. Desire
2. Definition
3. Dedication
4. Detachment

These are the four overall general elements necessary for changing core belief.

Desire

There is a difference between the vibrational energy of desire and want. Not quite the same thing.

It can be used in the same way. But for us, desire is something far more akin to passion and a true deep soul desire than simply wanting something.

The level of desire that we are talking about comes from the inner soul, the inner being.

Desire in this case is the true driving force that will allow you the energy and the power to delve deep into your belief systems.

Find the core beliefs. Allow yourself then to in examining them and identifying them change them. The desire first and foremost must be paramount in the utilization of these techniques, paramount in your focus for examining core beliefs.

The desire to change. Overwhelmingly, overpoweringly, passionately, to be who you really are, to discover that and be who you really are.

Difficulty

Without applying the first four Ds, you may give rise to a fifth D, difficulty in changing your core beliefs.

The first four Ds are so important in working together as a holistic system. They must all truly be present for the manifestation for the change to occur to be experienced in your life in a tangible way, in a heartfelt way.

Here is a list of words. The first group of words are conditions that are required for you to survive in physical reality as a physical being.

1. Be Born
2. Breathe
3. Drink
4. Eat
5. Excrete
6. Sleep
7. Maintain Health
8. Dream

Obviously, in order to continue your existence in the physical experience, you must be born into it. You do need to continue breathing. You all really generally need to drink. You all generally need to eat and all the other things just to maintain your existence in physical reality.

The second level, the second group of words represent how to get along in physical reality.

1. See
2. Hear
3. Smell
4. Taste
5. Touch
6. Think
7. Feel
8. Act
9. Communicate
10. Dream
11. Create
12. Love

If you will observe, there is actually only one word that is common to both lists, and that word is dream.

You absolutely must dream due to the nature of how you have created your physical reality. And in creating the sense and experience of detachment, so to speak, or disconnection, so to speak, or limitation, so to speak, from the spirit world, you must from time to time reconnect to it. And generally speaking, although of course we understand there are many different kinds of dreams and many different reasons for dreaming and many different meanings that you can give to dreams, many different representations that come from dreams, we are actually talking about the physical mechanism of dreaming that allows you as a being to expand and go into the connection of being a little bit more yourself in the spiritual level while you are still physical.

This reconnection on a regular basis is critical for your actual physical survival and for your ability to function in physical reality. Many individuals on your planet, as some of you may know, have done what you call studies about dreaming and sleeping. And they have found quite correctly and realized quite correctly that you might be allowed to dream but not sleep so much. And if you don’t sleep so much, you will be perhaps tired and perhaps some of your functionality may be a little bit impaired. But as long as you are allowed to have moments of dreaming, you will still be able to continue to function more or less normally in physical reality.

However, they have also found that no matter how much sleep they allow an individual to have, if they prevent the individual from dreaming, very rapidly, the individual will dissolve into psychosis and they can actually die from that.

Understand the dreaming is far more critical than the sleeping itself. So in order to actually maintain your physical existence, you must dream. In order to function in physical reality, you must dream.

The reason we bring this up and the reason we point this out in these lists is that that is really what we’re talking about. Also when we talk about desire, it’s connected very strongly to dream.

Understand that your dreams, your ability to dream in that sense is connected to your ability to desire, to manifest, to realize and experience in physical reality. And dreaming and desiring from the soul level in many ways are essentially the same thing. Because when you dream, you are creating, as we said, a reconnection, a manifestation of an experience of more of yourself, which is really what desire is all about fundamentally. It drives you to experience more of your true holistic self.

Definition & Family Patterns

Defining your beliefs remains a critical component of accessing and dealing with core beliefs. This includes:

• clarity of definition
• really getting down deep into exactly:
  • how your beliefs are constructed
  • how your definitions are put together
  • what components make them up
  • what ideas and thoughts go into it or result from it

All the factors that stem from and help to reinforce the definitions you have bought into, that you have been brought up with, that you have been spoon-fed since birth.

Remember that in accepting and in choosing the idea of the physical reality experience, generally speaking, although some things are somewhat malleable, you have agreed to accept and adopt a series of ideas and concepts that in a sense govern physical reality, such things as gravity on your planet, electromagnetic fields, neurological impulses, so on and so forth. I am not saying these things cannot be changed by your vibration, but generally most of you agree to play along and let those things run automatically so that you can focus on other issues instead of having to constantly consciously think about keeping your feet on the ground.

You allow yourself to simply have an automatic portion of your being that says, “I agree that as long as I’m on physical reality, Earth, gravity exists and I won’t simply go floating off into space,” although that can happen sometimes for various reasons and we may get into that later.

But the idea is that when you choose physical reality and you agree generally to adopt a series of conditions, one of those things has to do with the patterns that are already existing that result from the experiences of the parents you chose to be born to. So that in coming through them to be physical, to be born physically, you will to some degree adopt some of those patterns from them. A kind of hand-me-down from them, a kind of family agreement that says, “I will agree to explore with you similar themes, similar ideas that you may call patterns or experiences.” Not that you will necessarily have to play them out in the same way your parents did, but you often agree to explore similar themes they went through so that you in exploring them and coming up with a different perspective and perhaps even a different outcome can add to the overall soul family group’s experience of all the different ways that theme can be played out in your family group.

And so you often take on yourself in being born definitions and belief systems and ideas that will result in certain kinds of patterns or schedules or things that will come up or issues that will appear in your life at certain times. Often, very often, at the same times that your parents experience them in terms of the same age in your life and you will deal with them in your own way. Those moments are opportunities for you to get in touch with what that issue, what that idea and what that belief means to you, what meaning you choose to put in it, how you want to relate to it and what you want to bring in terms of your learning experience in dealing with it to the soul family experience overall.

So it is very important in doing that that you have absolute clarity of definition of what those beliefs are that you have been handed from your parents, from society in general, or sometimes even what you may have chosen to bring through with you just simply as something you have chosen to explore. Whether you connect it to the idea of past lives, future lives, all those things exist simultaneously. So it’s really more of a cross connection to some other life going on right now concurrently. But nevertheless, no matter how you make a relationship or how you need to explain it or set it up to yourself in order for you to have the experience and explore it, getting clarity of the definitions, getting clarity of the belief systems is critical. Especially when you are dealing with core beliefs because as the name core belief implies, you have set these belief systems up in layers like an onion.

Often it will be easier for you to peel them away. Get down to the core to understand the underlying foundation that supports and maintains and perpetuates all the other beliefs on the upper layers. But in giving yourself layers and in dealing with the outer layers or the top layers, however you wish to look at it, doesn’t matter first. Dealing with them first and peeling your way through them, it gives you practice. It gives you experience in dealing with beliefs and getting down to the core ones will allow you the greatest changes in your life and will give you the techniques, the tools, the capacity to deal with any other beliefs that may come up from other timings that may occur in your life from that point forward.

So, dealing with the core issues, the core belief that supports all the other ones. Even though you may have peeled your way down to the core and gotten to the core and made changes on a core level, this does not mean you have not set yourself up to explore other things. That you may not bring other belief patterns in at another time. And those patterns will connect to the core belief as well. And in dealing and learning how to deal with the core belief, you will be better able to handle those other levels of beliefs when they come up in a different arena, in a different area of your life. But all those upper layers will connect to the same basic core. And that’s why it’s so important to get a handle on what that core is so you can handle all the different layers as they arise at different times in your life.

So definition, clarity of definition, the second component we will explore that as well this day of your time.

Dedication

Dedication is very crucial in allowing your exploration of core belief to stick, to work, to manifest, to create in your life an experience of change.

Dedication, what do we mean by that? In a sense, it’s like saying commitment to the self, to really make it the most important thing, the most paramount thing in your life, to explore these core beliefs and to change them.

Dedication also connects into another thing we have talked about many times, which has to do with behavior, the actions that you are willing to take on behalf of what you say you desire to do, on behalf of the changes you say you desire to make. Dedicating yourself in your behavior to acting on those things that are representative of getting in touch with those core beliefs and making the changes to become more of yourself.

The behaviors that are representative of the person you say you ultimately would prefer to be. Dedicating yourself to choosing, through your actions, only those things vibrationally representative, only those things behaviorally representative of the person you say you wish to be, of the person and the life you say you prefer that person to have.

So that in thought, word, and deed, you constantly reinforce with your dedication to choosing only those things that you really do have the desire, most important of all, to be that person you say you prefer to be. Without that dedication, there is no reinforcement and no laying out of a conduit for the desire to manifest.

Dedication, very important component. Choosing only those things that are truly representative of the person you believe you are becoming or wish to become.

Detachment

Detachment may sound completely and paradoxically contrary to desire. In some senses it is. But it is not at all. It is quite complimentary.

Detachment means the neutrality that is so important that diffuses the idea of built-in meaning. The recognition and awareness that there is no built-in meaning and the willingness to put the meaning you prefer into every situation that comes along, every situation that happens.

But even more so than that, the detachment, not in a judgmental way, not in a negative way, but the detachment from all things that are not representative of your desire and your dedication and your ability to clearly define what you are and what you are not. Detachment also from the idea of beliefs that do not serve you.

For when you have the strong desire and when you have the clear definition and when you have the powerful dedication, you will detach from the things that don’t serve you. You will recognize what they are more clearly. You will discern what they are more clearly and you will simply realize they are not you. That certain things are not vibrationally you and you will detach from them.

Again, not in a judgmental way, but in a compassionate way through the simple observation and awareness that a thing simply isn’t you. It’s not your truth. It’s not who you prefer to be. It’s not representative of the behavior or the actions or the circumstance of the person you say you desire to be, of the being you know you are.

So detachment from the things you are not is what paradoxically will then reinforce and amplify and magnify, bringing it full circle, the desire to be who you are.

This is an amplification process. You start with desire and you go through the definition and you go through the dedication. You use it to arrive at the kind of detachment that will clear out the things that don’t belong and allow the desire like a fire to burn that much more brightly in you and illuminate more clearly for you the things in your definitions that don’t work for you and drive you more strongly to dedicate yourself to being who you really prefer to be.

Thus, then arriving once again at the state of detaching in a compassionate way from those things that don’t serve you. So that can make more room for your desire to burn even brighter. And you amp yourself up and amp yourself up and amp yourself up in this way through this four-step process.

And that is why if any one of those key components is missing or left out or not as fully utilized as it could be, you will then create the difficulty because you will be breaking the circuit. This is a complete circular self-realizing, self-magnifying, self-amplifying idea. And all of those things are equally important in the holistic approach of getting the experience in your life of this technique and these ideas really working for you.

The 4 D’s will allow you to truly disassemble the beliefs that don’t work for you, disassemble the personality that you may have been taught to be and will allow you to assemble a new you in a very experiential way, a very experiential manifesting physical way. We bring this tool to you now at this time because now is the proper time for this tool in you. Use it or lose it. It’s up to you.

The Anogrammatic Circuit (Diagram 2)

The enneagrammatic circuit is 9 circles in a square.

This is an assisting tool, not a primary tool, in this overall process. It is like an affirmation that will help to focus you. It’s a focusing mechanism, and it doesn’t even necessarily have to be, and is not designed to be, completely a conscious mechanism. It will operate on a multitude of levels within your conscious and subconscious and higher conscious selves.

The saying is generally a loose translation of what the symbols mean in the circles.

These symbols are derived from ancient Phoenician symbols. We chose this because they:

• are a precursor to certain other very strongly vibratory languages on your planet, such as Hebrew
• dig deep into the vibration of your being.
• detach your consciousness from any particular culture, since the Phoenician culture no longer really exists on your planet intact

So it takes you to an ancient space that goes around or leaps over or goes through a lot of your expectations about what language is all about on your planet today.

It goes to the undercurrent, the foundation. It can be called a core language. And so it’s appropriate for what we are doing.

That language and the symbols are also connected to ET sources including other dimensional levels of guides and spirits and so on.

Many of these symbols were in a sense received and given from those sources to your people in ancient times because they represent certain ideas, certain vibrations that key into the matrix of the meanings that you typically give to things on your planet.

So they work well hand-in-hand with the patterns and meanings you have automatically set up within yourself and are good for loosening those meanings up by setting up a sympathetic or empathetic vibrational tonality that unlocks you from certain patterns and expectations as you look at the symbols from the center.

The dot in the center, go to the upper right-hand corner first.

That is the eye, going down to the mouth and hand and cutting across the bottom.

The middle symbol in that sense is water, which is transition and change.

Going left is to the path that you would follow. Going up is the window and then the door.

Then going to the right, the center symbol above the dot, the circle with the cross in it, which represents the unknown.

Then in reading the sentence that is vibrationally representative of how these symbols work together, you will understand that it is when you start from the inner being of yourself and in physical reality express yourself through sight and through sound and through touch, in the way that is cohesive in what we are talking about today, in those manners of desire and dedication and definition and detachment, then in thought, word, and deed, in that way, will you cause the transition?

Will you cause yourself to dissolve into the water?

Dissolve the crystalline patterns and reform them by following the path to the windows and doors that lead to the unknown, which opens up your reality and brings you back to the center of your being in a very powerful way.

So focusing on this as a kind of meditative mudra will allow you to help yourself focus on the principles that we have talked about, the four Ds. It will give you some focus. It will put you in the proper state of mind, shall we say.

The Dimensional Spiral (Diagram 3)

The final diagram is a collection of 19 circles with a jagged spiral that connects them.

This symbol comes directly from our civilization’s history. It is something we created in our civilization as a representation and an understanding of how to spiral downward through different dimensions into the core of your being and then spiral outward from that core upward through different dimensions into manifestation.

In some senses, this could be called a neurological spiral. We did not want nor instruct there to be the name put on the page because there should be nothing else in your vision when focusing on this image other than the image itself.

It represents going down through the layers of your beliefs to the core and coming up from the core through new beliefs and outward into manifestation following that spiral.

When you look at the spiral in a certain way, it actually takes on 3-dimensional characteristics.

• It looks like an unfinished cube.
• Certain lines seem to come toward you.
• Certain lines seem to go away from you.

So it fulfills the idea in a 2-dimensional plane of an actual multi-dimensional path that you actually are taking when you focus on this image.

It actually lets you pass through different dimensional and neurological levels of your belief system to the core and brings those ideas from the core back out into a three and four-dimensional manifestation. It’s a very, very powerful gazing tool that will in a sense change literally your dimensional perspective of who, what, where and when and why and how you are and how you manifest yourself.

Let us focus on a primary question: Why am I here?

We answer: why not?

There are very specific reasons why you chose to be where you are. And it is getting in touch with those reasons from a spirit level in choosing this life that you begin your journey to the core, coming down from heaven, so to speak, to earth. That passage, the why of that passage, is also essential in your understanding of what it is you will be accessing in your core because it has to do with the themes that you took upon yourself in choosing to be physical and have a physical experience. And it has to do with understanding, as we said, the patterns you have taken on from your parents and your society and how you play those out. The why.

Now, when you choose themes or a kind of physical life or experience from spirit, from that perspective, from that level before each life—again, we understand we’re speaking linearly for clarity’s sake. It’s all happening at the same time. It’s all one. We know all the lives are simultaneous. But just so you understand this process, because that’s what physical reality is all about, process.

That to some degree is what takes us back to the why. Why has to do with process. The asking of the questions in life, the most important questions. Why this? Why that? Why is this that way? Why is that that way? The why question is the very core of the existence of physical reality because it has to do with the fact that only in really physical reality do you experience creation in the form called process.

There is time and space definitions that give you the ability to actually experience creation in process. Otherwise, from higher levels, there’s no time, there’s no space. A thing just is, and there is no appreciation or depth of exploration of why that thing is. So physical reality exists in a sense so you can develop an experience of the deep appreciation of the why component of All-That-Is. That’s what physical reality is for.

And so when you choose a physical experience, what you’re actually saying is you want to:

• dive into the why of it
• experience that aspect of All-That-Is, the actual creative manifestation component of the one of the all.

You need a space-time referential point of view in order to have that experience.

In that process from spirit, each time with each life, as you choose the components that will make up your experience of the why, you are very, very specific about what ingredients you put in to the experience of that life and how it relates not only to the soul family’s overall experience, as well as your own, but also how it relates to every other experience you are having both in and out of physical reality.

You really look at it as a network and know that every nodal point, every life, whether physical or non-physical in that web, on that net, reinforces every other nodal point. And so the selections of what this life, this nodal point experience of the why is all about is very specifically chosen.

That does not always mean that you choose every specific thing that happens specifically in the life before you come into the life. Some things are left up to the idea of randomness because that’s part of the why as well. But the themes are generally specific and sometimes certain ideas that are experienced, certain situations and circumstances are set up for yourself by yourself, including the idea of choosing your parents and so on and so forth, choosing your brothers and sisters, maybe even choosing some of the friends you will have because you understand that their reflections in your life is what will drive you in the direction of your particular experience of why that you wanted to have in this life.

That particular experience of self-discovery, which is the ultimate why question. Who am I? Why am I here? That self-awareness, that self-knowledge on an individual and a grander scale coming together from the beginning to the ending of your life, in a sense, is what it is about. The why of it, that process, that creative arc, as you film people say, is what it’s all about. The comparison, in a sense, to use the word loosely, between where you begin and where you end up in any given life. That arc of experience, that process, and the changes and differences that you experience in it are adding to your understanding on a bigger level of what you are as an aspect of All-That-Is.

The “Toolbox” & Permission

Like a time-released capsule, much of what we are giving you today does not necessarily have to be retained immediately consciously. But they will bubble up to the surface.

A little piece here, a little piece there, and then when appropriate, when you’re ready to handle it, you will then deal with having the tool to deal with the situation at hand.

That kit exists within you. And much of what is being done today in dealing with your core beliefs is instilling within you an awareness of that kit through these specific methodologies of desire, definition, dedication, and detachment that will allow you in any given situation in the arc of your life to know that you can open that toolbox when you encounter something that requires its application and apply the tools as we give them to you today.

That you will have those tools with you always and feel automatically that the box will open up and the appropriate piece of information will come forward exactly when and where you need it synchronistically in your life so that this entire process becomes a joyful and effortless and creative one instead of something you feel you have to struggle with through the fifth D of difficulty.

Do not worry if you miss a word or a sentence or a concept here and there because this kit is in you. It’s in all of you, even those not here. But this kit will begin to open up by being here today. What you have done is you have given us the permission to absolutely, at the very least, unlock the toolbox so that you can have access to it.

How often you open it, how well you use the tools, that will be up to you. But from this day forward, that toolbox will be unlocked and you will always have access to it.

You may not immediately have access to the core beliefs. But you will always have access to the toolbox. The toolbox will always be sitting on your desktop. You can always double-click it. It will always open. Always.

What you do with it after that is up to your level of desire, definition, dedication, and detachment. You will amplify and sharpen those tools with your willingness to be yourself through desire, but it will always open for you. And it’s up to you how to use them, when to use them, where to use them, how much to use them, how little to use them. It’s up to you.

QA Session

The Friend Who “Worships” Bashar

Questioner 1: I have a friend who has been attending your seminars and sessions for many years. he decided that his excitement was to spend all of his time studying this information to find out his true excitement in life and what he wants to do. He gave up his job. He moved back east to live with his father. He’s been living there for two years. And all he does every day is listen to your tapes and meditate.

His father is going to be moving to a small home where he’s now going to be basically on the street with no money or anything.

Bashar: I suppose he will find that exciting.

Questioner 1: I’m finding is that some judgment is dipping into my belief system as I’ve been helping him to share some of this information with him.

I’m realizing that my core belief system which I was given through my parents is that you have to work hard to get your goals.

Bashar: Yes. And so I when it is play automatically people will work at it. It won’t be an effort. It will just be hard work because they don’t want to do anything else.

Questioner 1: Right? So I’m following my joy and I’m doing what I like to do. But I find myself resisting giving this information to him because I’m finding that I feel in my belief now that he needs to stand on his own and not worship you.

Bashar: That does not necessarily have to be a representation of judgment.

It can simply be what you might call an astute observation of what we already pointed out.

He’s not actually acting on his excitement.

He’s using his excitement to find out what his excitement is.

He is removing himself one step from the actual doing of something that he might actually find will support him.

Although it’s not impossible that what he’s doing will support him. His belief systems may make it more difficult for that to support him until he realizes it’s all about actually doing what excites you rather than doing what excites you to figure out what excites you.

But the idea of no longer feeding him the information might be an astute observation that will give him an opportunity to recognize he needs to move to the next stage and realize he can find his excitement much more easily than he thinks and not spend so much time simply looking for it.

Multiple Questions on Core Beliefs

Questioner 2: Okay. One is I would appreciate it if you could give me more clarity on what you mean by definition. Bashar: Yes. Questioner 2: In other words, the definition I would appreciate that. Bashar: All right. The other is some examples of like core beliefs of what those might be. Questioner 2: All right. Bashar: And then another would be how to, you know, in other words when you talk about following your excitement. Questioner 2: Yes. Bashar: Is it you know one one that one should then follow what excites them and just keep moving in that direction. Is that what you’re Questioner 2: Yes.

Bashar: Because excitement by definition is the actual physical translation of the vibration that represents your true core being. So anything that brings with it the highest level of excitement, love, creativity, passion is actually the thing to take action on no matter what it appears to be, no matter in what form it comes because excitement is the thread that leads you to more of yourself and leads you to all other things that can manifest in your life in an exciting way. So follow that excitement by acting on it. Yes, by acting on it. That’s the thread to follow. Not how things look on the surface, not what the ego thinks is connected as the next thing you’re supposed to be doing, but the things that come to you that contain the highest joy is the signpost, is the marker of the next thing to do. And even though it may not from your physical mentality point of view seem like the quickest path, it actually is. Right? So ironically, although the parents in my personal situation did not encourage that at all. They basically said follow your duty in a sense. Yes. Follow what is expected of you. Yes. As opposed to yes. So now sometimes it may dovetail with your excitement but on your planet very often it doesn’t.

Questioner 2: Correct. All right. Now the idea of definition is simply that we are talking about ingrained belief and finding out specifically what that belief is. How you have defined your relationship to any given situation. Who you think you are in relation to what’s happening in your life is either certain kinds of reactions or responses to them emotionally.

Bashar: All right. And those emotional responses are completely derived from your definition of who you are in relation to that thing. So on a very simplistic level, if you are in a situation and you find yourself having what you typically, as humans, call a negative emotional reaction or experience to it, that’s primarily because the definitions you have about yourself are allowing you to color your energy in that way. And those definitions are primarily probably out of alignment with your true being. If you experience a response that is joyful to the situation or at the very least neutral, then most likely your definitions are in harmony with your true self. Who you define yourself to be in relation to that thing is more aligned, more harmonious.

Bashar: Let us say a person feels that they are having negative emotional experiences with regard to the idea that they are struggling to create what they call abundance in their life and they find it difficult to do so. The idea may be that when they get down deep into their definitions they may discover that they have been taught conflicting beliefs. In other words, on one hand, the parents may have said, “You will never really be successful unless you are rich.” On the other hand, they may also have been taught to believe money is the root of all evil. So, what they grow up with is this conflict and they make a decision about who they are in relation to that. And all of a sudden it becomes more important to them to define themselves as a good person. But because they wish to define themselves as a good person in context to the belief they have been taught to buy into, they will say, “Well, the only way I can be a good person and not an evil one is to never be rich.” And all this may be going on unconsciously within them. And so they will actually do their very best to keep abundance away in order to in their definition of themselves be a good person. But that’s only because they’re associating it to a definition they’ve been given that means that having money equals the fact that you’re an evil person. You have to find that core belief. Find out that that’s the definition you may have and then realize, wait a minute, I don’t have to define that concept in that way. Just because someone has money does not automatically mean they are evil. You have to detach and disassemble that definition. So it’s no longer real to you. Bring it into consciousness, disassemble it, and then ask yourself, well, what definition would I prefer in its place? I would prefer to believe that I can be rich and be a good person. That those two things are synonymous, not the other thing. You’ve created a new definition of what is possible, of what is real. And in truly doing it, if that is really a core belief, you will then by identifying it and redefining it, create a completely new vibration in your being that will then attract different things in your life that you will then respond to in a different way and experience a different manifestation. Does that explain the idea?

Questioner 2: Yes. So when fear comes up then you look basically at what the fear is expressing as the definition.

Bashar: Exactly. Because you see you are a 100% energy and fear is a manifestation of your energy. You experience that energy as fear by knowing that you have or by understanding that it’s only experienced as fear because it’s being run through or being flowed through definitions that are out of alignment with your true self. You experience the very same energy as joy when you then run that energy through belief systems and definitions that are in alignment with your true self, your true self-being, an aspect of creation who is unconditionally loving and loved. And so when you have definitions that are out of phase with that, vibrationally out of phase with that, your energy in that sense, its vibrational frequency will become, for lack of a better term, distorted, and you feel that distortion as the emotion you call fear. But that’s a good thing because if you do have those distortions, fear is the alarm bell that knocks on your door and wakes you up and says, “Hey, I’m letting you know in no uncertain terms because you can’t ignore me that you have a definition that’s out of whack, out of alignment with your true self.” And so I’m giving you an opportunity to find out what that is. And therefore, the fear has served a positive purpose. And using fear that way, redefining fear in a good way, in a positive way, is the first step toward changing definitions all the way down the line. Anything that comes to you is a messenger with information about more of who you are. And if you use every experience that way by redefining it that way, then you will experience it that way. And it will take you further and deeper into yourself to discover more and more and more of what it is that makes you tick as a personality because your personality is a construct built up out of the definitions you believe are most true. And definitions always give rise to emotions which always give rise to behavior. You cannot express a behavior without having a feeling. And you cannot experience a feeling without having a definition. If I say to you, you are Ashuda, how do you feel about me saying that about you?

Bashar: Well, not really one thing or another because you don’t really have a meaning for the word, do you?

Questioner 2: No.

Bashar: So, you see, if I say just an example, you’re stupid. Obviously that starts bringing up feelings in people because you have given a meaning to the word and made it real. But if stupid becomes as meaningless as ashkuda to you, you will not react. You’ll remain neutral and realize it’s just the definition. And you can choose to give it a positive or negative spin as it relates to yourself or recognize it has nothing to do with you and then simply go on your way without having an emotional negative reaction to it. But it’s all stemmed from the definition first. Without the definition, there is no feeling. Without that feeling, there is no behavior. So all behavior stems from feeling which stems from definition. So, if you’re behaving in a way you don’t prefer and you’re feeling in a way you don’t prefer, follow that trail back to the definition by asking yourself the penetrating question. What would I have to believe is true about myself in order to be having that will support that idea. So going back to the idea of the definition that equated being evil with having money and moving things away from yourself that would cause abundance. There may even be a deeper belief that allows you to perpetuate that allows you to even consider that belief as being real. And the deeper belief may have to do with things like your own sense of self-worth. Well, I may intellectually understand that it doesn’t mean you’re automatically evil when you’re rich, but I still can’t seem to break through that idea of attracting abundance to myself. Well, maybe there’s a deeper core issue even underlying that that has to do with believing whether or not you’re even worthy to try.

Questioner 2: Uh, yes. It’s helping to clarify the idea. And then the best way then to handle that is to then look and see what those beliefs are.

Bashar: Well, yes. I mean the best way is whatever is your way. We are giving you ideas that you can use as tools but of course your imagination will adapt them. But generally speaking on a fundamental level yes it is important because you are a physical personality construct. It is important to find out what you’re actually made of in order to adjust the construct that you are. The three-sided construct of definitions, emotions, and behaviors. You have to know what you’re made of. So, getting in touch with the fundamental definitions is like going back to the blueprint. If the house is leaning sideways and the materials it’s made out of are shoddy, go back to the original blueprint and say, “Well, I can see that there’s something here that’s off in the blueprint and that’s why the workers brought shoddy materials and that’s why the house is leaning.” If I correct the blueprint and say no, get this material and build it this way, then they will bring in stronger materials and the house will stand straight. You follow me?

Questioner 2: Yes. And then start acting as if. In other words,

Bashar: well, of course, because it is. You act as if because it is.

Questioner 2: And that automatically changes the vibration of

Bashar: that changes the vibration. And then the last step you need to be aware of is to make sure you understand that physical reality is just a mirror, but that it’s not always one to one, that it’s neutral as a set of props. So, in other words, knowing that you’re changing your vibrational frequency, knowing that you are changing your reality does not always mean you will immediately see a change in the circumstance, in the set of props around you, outside of you. The first stage in truly expressing that you know you have changed, acting as if you say, is to respond differently to the same situation than you did before. By responding differently to the same appearing situation than you did before. That is when you give the situation leave to then be more truly reflective of the change that has happened within you because now there is conviction in you that you’ve changed regardless of what things look like on the outside. You now know that things on the outside are just neutral props devoid of meaning, no built-in meaning that you determine the meaning. So even though it may look the same, you’re now saying, I am giving it a different definition. I now know it’s not an interruption or an obstacle. I now know it’s part of my path and it serves me in a positive way. I’m redefining it. And by responding differently to it, then it has the best opportunity to actually change the outside reflection. But the first step is not the outside changing. The first step is knowing and behaving as if you truly are different in relation to what’s going on outside because there really is no outside to change for change itself rather than for outcome. Questioner 2: Yes. Exactly. When you change for change itself, the paradox is you change the outcome. When you change for the outcome, you’ve never really changed.

19. Q&A Session 3: The Angry Healer

Questioner 3: that’s true um I know my passion Bashar: and that would be Questioner 3: music Bashar: all right Questioner 3: but I have a difficult Bashar: All right now one moment before You go on. Remember also that we talk about the idea of following your passion, following your excitement and also in this context today, the passion, the desire we’re talking about is also for changing core belief. You follow me? All right, continue. Questioner 3: Well, the core belief I want to change is I have been a healer for 15 years and I’m angry. Bashar: You’re angry? An angry healer. Questioner 3: That’s right, Bashar. I’m feeling that anger. Bashar: A nononsense knockdown dragout angry healer. Questioner 3: Yes. Bashar: All right. Questioner 3: I’m ready to give it up. And are you? Bashar: Yes. I want to, but it’s the money. Questioner 3: It’s the money. Bashar: The surviving. Questioner 3: The surviving. Not even living. Surviving. And the funny thing is I’m abundant right now. I have I am being very well taken care of through my husband. That’s a form of abundance. But I want to find self-sufficiency. Bashar: Well, go right ahead. And I want to go for my music. I want to let go of the healer. Questioner 3: And go right ahead. Bashar: But how?

Questioner 3: However, I understand you are physical beings. Please pay attention to your true system of beliefs. I know you want to get to the core things and change these. But while you are holding on to certain beliefs, don’t short-circuit yourself by moving into something you say is your passion sooner than your belief systems are honestly ready to let you do. Otherwise, you will just wind up jumping off a cliff and suddenly being surprised that you can’t fly. As long as you still hold on to the belief that you will not fly, it would be wise not to jump off the cliff or at least start climbing down the cliff. As long as you believe your belief systems can support you that far, you can start some level of your passion. But respect where your beliefs actually are. And that simply takes honest self-assessment to find out what those definitions are so that you’re not fooling yourself into thinking you’re truly ready to live your passion when you yourself have contrary beliefs about that. So it’s all right to take your time is all we are saying as long as you respect where you’re truly at with it. Now, if you really feel that you can take a bigger leap than you have before, then by all means, take whatever leap you are comfortable with, but make sure it’s simply as much as you possibly can do in the direction of your passion while respecting where you’re really at. I’m not saying be hesitant. I’m saying have true recognition of what your beliefs will really allow you to do. Because sometimes when you take that leap and feel that you’ve gone through an experience where taking that leap has suddenly smacked you in the face like a brick wall, that itself, that experience itself is for the purpose of putting you in touch with other beliefs you may still be holding on to that didn’t really allow you to take the leap you wanted. And so that’s okay, too. You follow me? Mhm. Just use the experience that way and you will be using it, let’s say, appropriately. Nevertheless, you want to do your music instead of your healing? Although there isn’t necessarily that much difference between the two, is there?

Questioner 3: I’m not sure yet. Bashar: Well, is not healing vibration? Is not music vibration? Does not music heal? Questioner 3: True. Well, you can still be a healer and be a musical one. Maybe you’re just angry with yourself for not being the kind of healer you would actually rather be. Questioner 3: Yes. No. Maybe. Bashar: Yes. Questioner 3: Well, I’m also experiencing guilt with that because Bashar: Oh, I Let’s pile on the negative beliefs. Let’s make it that much more difficult. Not only am I angry that I’m not doing what I want, but I’m also guilty about not doing it. Bad me. Shame on me. Let’s really pile on the difficulty level instead of just doing what I want. Let’s spend more time processing all the things I want to judge about myself. Now, you understand? I’m not making fun of you yet.

Bashar: All right. However, sometimes humans are so easy to make fun of. We just can’t help ourselves, you know, because we don’t have TV. You put on quite a show, all of you, and we are more than happy to watch. However, this is an interactive show. So, what do you gain? And here’s where we connect. Very good for asking the question. Very good for making the statement. Brilliant. Thank you. Here’s where we connect to the idea of really exploring core beliefs because as we have said, the beliefs you hold on to, the definitions you hold on to, you hold on to because you want to. You never hold on. You will never I guarantee it. Believe me, you will never hold on to a belief or a definition no matter how negative that you don’t define as working for you on some level. If you hold on to it, it’s because you think it serves you to hold on to it because you’ve defined it in a way that says as uncomfortable as it is to hold on to this belief, the alternative is scarier. So, this makes me feel more comfortable, so I’ll keep it. Thank you. You will never hold on to that belief. If you actually believed this was more advantageous, but if you’re scared of this choice, you will think this is more advantageous to hold on to what you know, to hold on to what you’re familiar with. As uncomfortable as it may be, it’s familiar. And sometimes that’s why the symbol on the anogrammatic circuit, the last one is the unknown. Sometimes you define the unknown as scarier and you’d rather have the familiar as unpleasant as it is. When you switch that idea, believe me, you will let go of this instantly and attach to that immediately. As soon as you change the definition of what actually serves you better, as soon as you get in touch with that core belief that going in this direction will actually be the best thing for you, you will immediately do so. And believe me, nothing will stop you. Nothing. Nothing gets in your way. Everything you’re doing, you’re doing because you choose to do it because you’ve defined it as the best thing for you to do by comparison to this other option. But if you know that other option could serve you, you simply have to get in touch with the rest of the definitions that don’t allow you to automatically choose it, that don’t allow you to feel that it would. And that’s usually the definition that does that. Does this making some sense to you? Questioner 3: Yes. I just want to feel it so I can go. All right. Well, as you say, first of all, you’re angry about doing something that’s not really who you are. All right. That’s fine. Natural anger. Natural anger, shall we call it? Alignment, energy alignment. That’s what it’s doing. It’s aligning you with your truth. Natural anger lasts about oh 15 seconds. Anything beyond that is judgment. You understand? Yes. Natural anger is energy alignment. It’s the recognition that a thing is not you by comparison and you go, “Oh no, not me. That’s not who I am.” But that’s all anger actually is. If it lasts longer than that, that’s where these other definitions of judgment come in. Oh, guilty. Guilty for not choosing this sooner. Now I’m really angry. And the guilt feeds the judgmental version of anger and perpetuates and magnifies that. And you spend your day going around in circles dealing with that instead of simply using the anger in a positive way and say, “Oh, this version of healing is not who I am. All right, this is” and start moving in that direction because you know that’s who you are. And because you know that’s who you are, you know that’s what will support you. Because what in that being the thing that excites you because it wouldn’t allow you to do that thing. It wouldn’t allow you to continue to move in that direction if it didn’t come with the ability to bring you what you need to continue to move in that direction. So you can even logic this out for yourself if that’s the facility that works best for you and recognize that there would be no reason for you to get excited about something if it didn’t contain the ability to do that thing to continue your excitement. Do you follow me? Questioner 3: I follow you. Is this making sense and dollars to you? Questioner 3: I’m feeling it. Yes. Bashar: All right. Now, if the other issues come up, I’m unsure about this, I’m unsure about that, I’m not good enough for this, I’m not qualified for that, I don’t know enough about this, I don’t know enough about that. Do what you need to do to gain the information and experience that you need, knowing that that’s not a path toward your excitement. That all those things are part of your excitement, they’re just different perspectives, different variations of it, different parts of the process of living your excitement. It’s all living your excitement. And you can use even what you’ve been doing as part of your excitement because it’s finally brought you to a place where it’s become clear what you are not. And sometimes people on earth have to simply figure out what they are by first figuring out what they are not. Sometimes it just works best that way for some of you because now you know where you don’t want to go and that helps you really define where you do want to go. And if you worked it that way, bless it. It got you to this realization. So don’t be angry with it. Don’t be angry with yourself. Use it. Say, “Aha, freedom, release, insight, inspiration. The path I’ve been on, the things I’ve been doing have brought me to this realization. Hallelu.” Questioner 3: Gotcha. Thank you, Bashar. Bashar: If you don’t use your life up to this point that way it’s like having a path of stepping stones and saying, “I invalidate the stepping stones I have been walking on.” If you invalidate them, if you judge them as unworthy of having been there, they will vanish experientially. And thus then, how can they get you to where you want to go? How can they lead you to the rest of the stepping stones if you invalidate the stones you’ve stepped on? Questioner 3: I think it’s the fear of crossing over and what how I’m going to be supported financially to get to that level of my passion. Yes, I don’t want to go work at Mickey De’s. And even though that my husband is supporting me, I keep thinking, “Oh, I really want to let go of the massage.” I do. I have to. Bashar: Then do what you can in the direction of your highest joy to the degree that your belief system will allow you to start there. Go as far as you believe you are willing to believe you can be supported. Okay? And don’t discount any avenue that you really believe is a representation of your excitement in any form. Questioner 3: Okay? But also don’t put conditions on yourself. You see, what you just did in that last sentence was bring up a flurry of belief systems and conditions. The only way I can get there and support myself is by working here or doing this job I don’t like. I have to do it that way. No, you don’t. But you have just revealed to yourself all the belief systems you have about that. So that’s good. You’ve just made yourself transparent and now you can deal with why you are afraid to take that step. You are afraid to take that step because you have a definition that says you must do it in a way that is unpleasant for you. That is not preferred. But that’s not necessarily an empirical truth. It’s just your definition that says that. So get in touch with why you have that definition and why you’ve made it real and make it unreal because it doesn’t have to be real, does it? One of the wonderful wonderful things that exists is that there are other people. Other people act as shining examples of what’s possible. If someone else can do it, you can do it. Do you understand? That’s why all of you really, most importantly, can be examples to everyone else by really following your passion. Because when you see someone else do it, it’s not that you have to do it exactly the same way, but if they did it, that means it’s possible for you. If you have attracted yourself into their life or at least attracted them into your life enough to be aware of them and what they’ve done, then be inspired by the fact that they’ve done it as knowledge that if you’ve attracted them into your life as an example, that’s a sign. That’s a marker that you’ve done that to show yourself you are capable of the same thing. So if they created abundance in their lives in a fantastically rich, effortless, fun, and playful way, so can you. If the example exists anywhere and you can see it or be aware of it, it means you’re capable of the same thing or the example would never have come into your life because there are no accidents. Does that make sense? Questioner 3: Yes, it frees me. Bashar: Thank you. Thank you, Bashar.

20. Q&A Session 4: Responsibility & Dreaming

Bashar: This and what we are talking about in this kind of dialogue is not just a precursor to the idea of getting in touch with core beliefs. Everything we are saying has everything to do with really using this example as we just pointed out in this last conversation as an example of having your own dialogue at the same time and using this and applying it to your own situation to get in touch with your beliefs and your underlying beliefs and your core beliefs. All of this is part of the process. We are not stepping aside from all the other information we’re talking about. This is part of the information. These dialogues are part of the information. Part of the process in action. So pay attention to that. Are there more clarifications and questions? Questioner 4: Hello deashar. Bashar: And are you good day? Questioner 4: Um I’m just step on the path when I trying to explore who I am and why I’m here. Bashar: Yes. And uh it brings also tremendous responsibilities because Bashar: stop stop before you go on are you defining the term responsibility in a positive or negative way? Questioner 4: Positive. Bashar: All right. Go ahead. And it’s interesting like you said it’s no accidents in the universe and more and more I’m getting um I feel like I’m just on a baby level to be on that road but I’m getting Bashar: You all are. Questioner 4: Thank you. But I’m getting more and more Bashar: and so are we. Questioner 4: Thank you. Bashar: We are always all learning. There is no end. So we are all masters and we’re all on the baby level. And a master knows they’re on the baby level. That’s what makes them a master. Questioner 4: Continue. Bashar: It’s interesting that I’m getting more and more information about stuff with even hard to comprehend by human mind. But it’s very exciting and very interesting about the answer to question why I’m here. Questioner 4: Yes. And uh I would like you um would you please scan my energy and maybe ask the guys on other side Bashar: the guys to get their permission because in a way I feel that me and you are related. I almost in a sense Bashar: we are speaking to the people we are speaking to because there is an energetic connection otherwise you’d be talking to someone else. So there is a relationship there is a relatedness to the energy connection. Now, with their permission, your permission, and this goes for all of you individually as well as collectively, what will help clarify some of these issues is information that does already exist. If you’re not aware of it yet, it would be perhaps advantageous for you to become aware of this information. And it is in the form of what we will suggest as three books. Read Journey of Souls, Destiny of Souls, and the newest Conversations with God book called Home with God. All three are specifically about choosing from the spirit level the idea of physical reality and what goes into it and why you choose those things and why you wind up where you wind up. Educate yourself if you have not done so yet with the information in those books. They will help you synthesize a better and clearer understanding of the processes and mechanisms that go on in the spirit world that wind up in what your lives turn out to be and thus in some senses answer many of the questions as to why is this happening? Why am I this person? So read those three books, see what that does, process that information, and see if it will take you further toward answering the why. All right. Questioner 4: Thank you. Bashar: Thank you. Oh, one moment. Are you specifically or strongly attracted to the color lavender Questioner 4: or the flower? Bashar: Yes. Questioner 4: All right. This is again coming from your guides as a very good focusing element for you. It puts you in a sense helps you put yourself in the proper vibrational state to best absorb this kind of information. All right. Questioner 4: Thank you. Bashar: Thank you. Questioner 4: I also have a question more more specific question. Um is one of my guide ET? Bashar: Yes. Questioner 4: Can you name? Bashar: No. Questioner 4: Okay. Thank you. My other question and this is was picking my curiosity recently. It’s about um and you brought it many times and even today that it’s no such thing as a past life reincarnation. All lives are going on simultaneously. Bashar: Yes, you can experience it as a past life but they don’t really exist in the past because there’s no such thing. Everything exists now. Questioner 4: Yes. But my question is can I change my frequency to experience those lives and then change my frequency to the present frequency and yes is it any effects of those parallel lives on a current frequency life? Bashar: Yes, of course they’re all interconnected. There is constant communication and bleedthrough of information and experiences crossing all those lives constantly. You may not always know where it comes from, where an inspiration suddenly comes from, but it might be coming from an experience in another parallel life that you know you can use in this life. And so you simply make a connection, download the information and use it without necessarily having to know it’s being coming in that sense from another life. You understand? Questioner 4: Yes. But how I can achieve that? I was uh trying Bashar: you don’t necessarily always want to know where it’s coming from because that might slow down your ability to actually use that information in this life. When you need to know where it comes from, you will. You can be open to exploring that idea and when and where it’s important for you to know that it’s part and parcel of another life experience your oversoul may be having, then you’ll know. But if you don’t know, it’s not always important for you to know because it may not be part of your experience here to know specifically where that information comes from because you need to use it in this life in the way you need to use it, not in the way that version of you needed to use it. Make sense? Questioner 4: Yes. Bashar: But if it excites you to explore that idea, see where your excitement takes you without expectation. Because remember, you’re choosing to live this life. Questioner 4: Yes. not become the other lives. Although you can connect to them, just use your imagination. The lavender may help with that as well. Questioner 4: Thank you. Bashar: But you may only at first get very quick flashes. That may be enough. Don’t insist on more. Just take it the way it comes because that’s the way it serves you. And if it needs to come in longer flashes and longer understandings of what’s going on in different lives, then add the more you do it, it may come that way if it needs to. All right. Questioner 4: Yes. Does that help you? Bashar: Yes. And the last thing I was very excited today to hear about that you stress the importance of the dreams. Questioner 4: Yes. Bashar: And uh this is what I also been uh getting messages that I need to look more into my dreams because this is the way how my guides speak to me. Questioner 4: Absolutely. And that’s very important. But what we are also stressing here today is not so much the importance of dreams as the importance of dreaming. Questioner 4: All right. Bashar: Mhm. Does that make sense to you? Questioner 4: Yes. Bashar: Thank you. Questioner 4: Thank you so much.

21. Q&A Session 5: Healing & Change

Bashar: What is the time frame remaining for this segment? All right. About one question. Questioner 5: Hi Bashar. Bashar: And to you. Good day. I know a hypnotherapist in Atlanta who changes negative beliefs in your subconscious and cleanses attached spirits also done by John of God in Bashar: one moment one moment please remember listen to your language you do all the changing that happens in you someone else may have the ability to inspire you to make that change but no one else not even God can change you if you don’t want to change. Remember the joke we told in the beginning? Questioner 5: Yes. Bashar: The light bulb has to want to change, right? So, you make all the changes in you. No one changes you, but they may set up a vibration from which you take inspiration to change yourself. That’s how healing works. That’s how masters work. They give off a vibration that represents the healed state, but you have to set that vibration up within yourself by matching it in order for you to experience the change or the healing. So, you’re actually doing the work, but they’re acting as a reflective vibrational example. They’re not doing it to you or for you. Does that make sense? Questioner 5: Right? So pay attention to how you say those things because sometimes in phrasing it the way you phrased it, it can be that you’re in a state where you’re giving your power away to someone else and that’s exactly the opposite direction you want to go in. Questioner 5: So I can heal myself. Bashar: You do heal yourself all the time. Anytime there is a healing or a change, you’re the one doing it. But you may be taking your cue from examples others are giving you. And the fact that they may say you are healed doesn’t mean they actually did it. It still means you did it too. Questioner 5: Mhm. Bashar: Do you understand? Questioner 5: Yes, definitely. Bashar: Does this help? Questioner 5: Yes. Bashar: All right. And Questioner 5: if I don’t get inspired myself, it is helpful to go see these people. Bashar: Yes, it can help trigger the idea. All I’m saying is always remember that if you do get triggered and if something does happen, it’s you that really did it, even though you may have allowed them to inspire you and help you.

Break
