Karma

Karma is very strongly linked with the idea of synchronicity. Very, very much a representation of what we have termed the fourth law: what you put out is what you get back.

For many generations on your planet, the concept of karma has been linked with the idea of punishment, retribution, vengeance. But really, that is not what it is about. It is more the idea of balancing—of recognizing that if you are putting out a vibration, putting out an idea, putting out a behavior that is out of alignment with what you prefer, with who you prefer to be in your heart of hearts, that you are always given an opportunity to bring that energy back into alignment, back into balance.

In that sense, karma really is a guiding mechanism to allow you to be capable of feeling when you are out of tune, out of alignment. And that vibration of feeling out of alignment—the karmic vibration in that sense—thus is your guidepost, is your marker, is your alignment tool. It lets you know when you have in a sense strayed outside the boundaries of the vibration that represents your natural self, your true self, the vibration that you prefer to be.

And allows you to sense, to feel when you are out of alignment with that, so that you can give yourself the opportunity to recognize that—to always know that you are being guided by that vibration. And thus then, if you so desire, if you so prefer, if you so choose, to bring yourself back into alignment by recognizing the vibration as being something other than what you prefer.

Now in that sense, it is a frequency—a frequency in existence that is representative, shall we say, of your alignment with Creation, with All-That-Is. That is representative of your agreement to be a particular expression, to explore certain themes in your life.

And when you allow yourself to use this karmic frequency, this karmic vibration, this guiding light, this beacon, this lighthouse called karma, so that you know always where that beam is pointing, where that compass needle is pointing to your true magnetic north, then you will be capable of recognizing how strongly connected to the concept of synchronicity the karmic vibration is.

For the idea, of course, is that there is always synchronicity. Synchronicity never stops. It is just that you usually don’t really want to recognize it as synchronicity when it is the type of feedback, the type of reflection that you don’t enjoy, that you don’t prefer. But it’s synchronicity nonetheless.

So in that sense, you could simply say that karma—the sensation—is really what you might call synchronicity of reflected misalignment. The idea simply that you are always being given a reflection in life of some circumstance and some situation or some feeling or some awareness or some sensing or sensation that will be reflected at exactly the right place, the right time, exactly the right moment to let you know that you are not necessarily in accord, in alignment with the vibration of your preference, with the vibration of your true self.

And that quote-unquote negative synchronicity or karmic vibration will always be there to reflect back to you to give you yet again another opportunity—along with the feeling of the sensation of the karmic vibration—another opportunity through actual reflected situations and circumstances of knowing that you are not necessarily of the state of being that you prefer to be.

So synchronicity in that sense works hand in hand with the karmic vibration to be a reflection, a guiding reflection, to strengthen your ability to tell, to strengthen your ability to discern when you are and are not in alignment with your preferred vibration.

The law as we have described it—the fourth law of what you put out is what you get back—is not always reflected on a one-to-one basis. The idea of course is that it is always going to be coming in a form that is representative of the symbolism of the general theme of the challenge that you are exploring. It’s going to have a similar idea, similar reflection to the concept of the kind of symbols that you experience in dream time.

The idea of the way in which negative synchronicity or karmic frequencies are often reflected to you is in circumstances and situations that may not necessarily at first be apparent to the vibration you’re giving off. You may wonder why you are in the circumstance you are in, why you are experiencing the kind of difficulty or struggle you are experiencing, why you have run into that particular kind of brick wall. It doesn’t necessarily at first seem to have anything at all to do with what you’ve been thinking about, where you’ve been aiming for, and so on and so forth.

But if you allow yourself to understand how to use these tools—this karmic vibration and this reflective synchronicity of misalignment—you’ll be able to take the time to stop, to examine, to explore what it is that has cropped up before you. And in so doing, in being willing to really investigate more deeply the idea of that karmic vibration, you will be surprised and astonished to find the depths of information that lie therein for you, the depths of revelation that the symbols will provide for you, and allow you to truly have deeper insight into where your belief systems lie and what beliefs are in and out of alignment with who you truly prefer to be and what kind of a life you truly prefer to experience in your theme of exploration in physical reality.

Overcoming The Fear Of Karma

This involves a lot of willingness to truly allow the information in. This has been the struggle for many of you, because having had for so long negative definition of karma, a punishing definition of karma, when the idea comes up, when the sensation comes up, when the situation and circumstance comes up that is a misaligned reflection, many people don’t really want to look at it because they are afraid to look at it because they have this definition that they’re going to be punished for something.

Suddenly it amplifies the idea of their fear—the fear that you are not worthy, the fear that you are undeserving, the reinforcement of the idea that you come up short, that you don’t amount to anything.

All of these ideas that are swirling around in your brains that you have been raised with for countless generations—none of them, I guarantee, none of those negative thoughts about yourself are empirically true. They just simply aren’t.

You will never, ever, ever actually discover that you are unworthy. Ever. You may create the experience of feeling unworthy, but you never actually can be unworthy. For again, if you were truly unworthy of creation, believe me you would not exist, because creation does not make mistakes. So if you exist, then existence must know that you must exist, must know that you have to be a part of All-That-Is. For without you, All-That-Is would not be All-That-Is. It would be some of what could be.

So the fact of your existence in and of itself is the first proof that you deserve, that you are in that sense able to experience your birthright of alignment. That you can never be found truly unworthy, even though you can create the experience of that idea.

And the second proof, as we have often said, of your worthiness is the very fact that you’re able to experience unworthiness. For you are supported so unconditionally, so worthy are you, that you are supported in anything you believe to be true about yourself, including the belief that you are unworthy. That’s how worthy you are. That’s how loved you are. You are allowed to have experiences of not being loved. You’re allowed to have experiences of not being worthy, of not being deserving, because you are deserving of anything you imagine that is true for you. And All-That-Is will never interfere, never stop you from experiencing what you say is the most true thing you believe about yourself.

So trust that karma is not there to punish you. It is there to enlighten you, there to illuminate you, there to remind you of your true worthiness—that you are always guided, you never without guidance by the vibration of All-That-Is, that is like a beacon sending each of you that particular frequency that is your true self, and giving you the ability to experience, to feel, to know, to sense, to see reflections of when you stray from that vibration.

Of course, again, you’re allowed to have an experience of straying from that vibration, even though you never actually do stray from the ultimate core frequency. You can use your core frequency to make it seem as if you have. That’s how powerful a creator you are. You can actually use the vibration of your true self to make yourself seem like someone you don’t prefer to be. That’s a powerful creation.

And the more you are willing to experience the reflections of what you are not, the more you’re willing to experience the karmic vibration, the more you’re willing to experience the synchronicity of misalignment, the more capable you will be of remaining in the vibration of your true self because you no longer fear the vibration of karma. You know that karma is your guiding light.

It is your friend. It is your governing influence. It is your clear-cut path. It is the vibration that tells you very clearly what and who you are not, so that you can more clearly understand what and who you truly are.

Karma As A Siren

More karma. Allow yourselves to view synchronistically the idea of the karmic vibration like a siren to get your attention. It is in that sense: pay attention, pay attention, this idea is coming through. It requires great alignment, so you can send your compassion, your help, your assistance, your high vibrations of compassion to those that have created experiences of great misalignment within themselves, so that they are capable thus then of using that experience in a very positive, illuminating, growing way.

You can send that vibration to all who create the synchronicity of misalignment, the vibration of those who struggle against the vibration of their true self, who resist their natural selves.

Karma is there for you to learn to stop resisting your true natural self, to stop struggling, to stop striving, to stop experiencing the idea in that way of effort. Of course you will always have challenges. Of course you must have some kind of creative pressure in order to grow in a new direction. But none of that has to be viewed or experienced in a negative or misaligned way.

Karma is your friend. And when you allow the karmic vibration to truly grow and expand and learn to use it in a positive way, it will no longer remain karma. It might grow to become trma or busma or even jumbo jetma. But it will grow in ways that will always serve you.

Always. You have a joke—most of you know on your planet: your karma just ran over your dogma. So drop the dogma and allow yourself to truly understand that karma is the vibration that allows you to remain in that aligned path with your compass needle pointing straight ahead, with the guiding beacon illuminating your way and all the stepping stones thereon that you yourself have chosen to experience step by step.

Karma is always at your beckon call, always at the ready to help illuminate the vibration that you are not, so that you can more clearly understand the vibration that you are. And that service is the service of a great and unconditionally loving creation.

We thank you for allowing us to share this particular notion of karma with you. And in the ensuing conversations that may now arise from this interaction, keep in mind the new karmic vibration and allow it to guide you on your experience and exploration and quest in your life—the life you chose to live. For you yourself are the complete and utter arbiter of your own karmic destiny. Karma is self-imposed, utterly by you upon yourself.

Questions

CHRONIC PAIN, GUILT, AND FOLLOWING YOUR PASSION

Asker: I have felt chronic pain for 2 months. I have been taking painkillers every day and my body got addicted to them.

Bashar: So what hole are you attempting to fill in your life? Something that you would like to be doing you are not? Some path you would like to be taking, some dream you would like to fulfill that you are resisting, and thus then creating an emptiness that must be filled?

Asker: Yes. I’m struggling to let go of my work, and my dream would be to paint and to write.

Bashar: Is that not work? I’m not making money. Is painting and writing not a type of work?

Asker: I consider work when I gain money.

Bashar: So you are saying that painting is not work and writing is not work. So therefore, if you’re not defining it as work, you’re saying it can’t bring you money. Correct? Well, why are you defining it that way? It still requires some particular action, some physical action on your part, doesn’t it? Isn’t that the simplest definition of work?

We understand that as you say on your planet, a labor of love is no labor at all. It doesn’t feel like work, it doesn’t feel like an effort. But it still requires the idea of the use of energy, and by your scientific definition, that is still a definition of work being done. So why are you saying that painting and writing are not the type of work that can attract abundance to you? Why are you making that definition connection?

(Pause)

Bashar: Would you all like some karma chips while she’s thinking? Karma chips and dip.

So by changing my definition, can you use your imagination to understand that there are people on your planet who do write and paint and make what you call a handsome living? Yes, you know that they exist. That’s not a secret to you, is it? No. Oh, all right. So why them and not you? What’s so different about you that you can’t do what they do?

Asker: I feel guilt.

Bashar: Guilt about what?

Asker: About doing what I love.

Bashar: Why? Because I’ve been trained as a child that I must work to make money.

Bashar: But that is work. You’re not paying attention. Painting and writing is work. Are you saying that all the painters in the world and all the writers in the world aren’t working? I think they would beg to differ.

Asker: Yes, yes.

Bashar: Well, so why them? Why not you? May I ask you a question? Do you wish to be arrogant?

Asker: No.

Bashar: Well then why are you being arrogant? Out of all the people in the world, only I will this not work for? I am so special that while all these people can make a living writing and painting, I can’t. I must stand out as something different. That makes me special. Makes you arrogant. You see the contradiction here? If it works for them, it can work for you if you wish it to, if you allow it to.

You just need to drop all the definitions you’re holding onto that don’t allow you to experience how it can. Because obviously if you see examples in your reality of other people doing what it is you say you prefer to do and it’s working fine for them, that must at least give you a hint that it can work for you. And that the only reason it wouldn’t be is because you are standing in the way with your own definitions, and you’re holding your joy at bay.

Remember, as we were talking about, you’re always giving off a core vibration. That core vibration is the essence of joy and love and creativity. And the idea is that you are always, always without fail, you are always attracting the things that are representative of supporting you in that joy and in that creativity. You’re always attracting them. You don’t have to learn how to attract or manifest those things. But you have to understand that if you’re not experiencing those things, if they don’t seem to be coming to you, it’s not because you’re not attracting them. It’s because you’re holding them away with your definitions.

So if you just drop those definitions, that will all come flooding in. Because you don’t have to do anything special to make it come to you. You just have to allow it to come to you by getting out of your own way with definitions that don’t work for you.

Asker: So Bashar, if I do what I love doing without guilt—

Bashar: Well, let me stop you right there. Please listen and pay attention to the contradictory definitions you’re setting up right there. Because how can you actually do something you love to do if you actually feel guilty? If you’re feeling guilt, you’re not doing something you love to do. If you’re doing something you love to do, you feel no guilt. So by definition, if you’re truly doing what you love to do, guilt isn’t a component of that definition. And if you’re truly experiencing guilt, you are not by definition doing what you love to do, because guilt is not a definition in your overall definition of joy and love and excitement.

Though guilt would come from not working in something. No, guilt does not come from not working. Guilt comes from your definition of your relationship to the situation. No situation has built-in meaning, and no circumstance has built-in struggle or built-in guilt. Only your definition of your relation to the situation creates that experience. You understand?

So why are you choosing to believe or buy into the idea that to do what you love brings guilt up, like you’re doing something wrong, when doing what you love is exactly right for you by definition? Because it’s what you love and therefore it is your true core vibration. And therefore as your true core vibration, that’s exactly what you ought to do. So why would you be guilty doing exactly what you ought to do?

Asker: Because of the pressure of all the people around me that want—

Bashar: But you don’t understand what we are saying. The pressure isn’t coming from them. It’s coming from you agreeing with them and pressuring yourself to not be who you are. The pressure you feel doesn’t come from them. They may offer you an opportunity to feel pressure with their belief systems by saying you should feel guilty. But the only way you will actually feel guilty is if you agree with them that you should.

And when you agree with them that you should, then you’ll feel the pressure of the guilt, you’ll feel the pressure. But if you say, “Are you nuts? You don’t know who I am. You’re not talking about me,” oh, I see. I can have the compassion now and the eyes can be opened wide enough to understand that when you’re talking about feeling guilt that I should feel this and I should feel that and I should feel this pressure, what you’re actually doing is wagging your finger at yourself, saying you are the one that feels this. And you resent the idea that I don’t prefer to, because if I don’t prefer to feel guilt, I am always then a reminder of the fact that you are choosing to feel it and you don’t know how to change that, and therefore you resent that I do.

But if you don’t resent that I do and allow yourself to let it be all right for me to be who I wish to be, then I will be an example for you and you can choose to not feel guilty too by seeing my example, and then I’m helping you. But if you agree to feel the guilt and the pressure that they say you should, you’re not only not helping yourself, you’re not helping them because all you’re doing is reinforcing the thing that they’re already doing to themselves, which is putting pressure and guilt upon themselves, and therefore trying to share that with everyone because, as you say, misery loves company.

So why reinforce the negative in them by agreeing with them and agreeing to experience energy you know you don’t prefer? Why reinforce their pain? Why reinforce their struggle by continuing to agree to be an example and a reflection of the struggle they already know, instead of being a shining example of a different option for them and give them an opportunity to see in you: “Well, you know she’s doing pretty good after all. I didn’t believe that was possible, but look at her. She’s happy as a lark, painting and writing. And look at that, the money’s coming in, the abundance is coming in. She’s just sailing through life. Now I wonder, maybe I could do that. Well, I don’t know, I’m too afraid. Well, I don’t know, maybe could talk with her, maybe she could share with me some ideas of how she was able to let go of that.” You never know.

That’s how you help others—by being the example of a different option instead of simply reinforcing the negative idea that they are offering to you.

Astrology

Asker: I would like to ask about astrology. When we are born, we’re born on a certain month, and I understand there’s a certain planet that is affecting us.

Bashar: No. Okay, this is what I want to know: not affecting, reflecting. Astrology is a permission slip that is simply a reflection of the idea of how you have crystallized your particular experience into physical reality. And therefore it can be used to reflect certain themes you’ve chosen to explore and so on and so forth. But it’s not affecting you. It’s simply reflecting you.

Asker: So that means if my planet is Venus, let’s say, was I experiencing life on Venus?

Bashar: No, no, that’s not what it means. It’s a symbolic reflection of the idea of what you chose to experience as your themes of exploration in your incarnation on Earth. What are some of the greatest challenges that you face in life? Because the greatest challenges you face are representative of the themes you chose to explore in this life. Can you name one? Are you challenged in love?

Asker: No, no.

Bashar: All right. Why not? Do you find that your love life flows easily?

Asker: Yes, it does.

Bashar: Do you know what the symbol of Venus is? Love. Really, yes. So you’re using the planet symbolically as a reflection of an area in your life that is representative of an energy you carry easily.

Karma

Asker: Good day Bashar and are you good day? You were just talking about karma. Can you talk more, explain it more in depth? My understanding is we say what goes around comes around—as we said, what you put out is what you get back. Correct. And it doesn’t always come exactly in a one-to-one format. It’s not always easily recognizable as a reflection, but it’s there nevertheless.

Bashar: And what I’ve been doing is looking at anything that happens as something positive and looking at what is this positive nugget to take from this.

Bashar: Yes. So it sounds to me like that doesn’t mean you ignore the fact that the original behavior might have been negative. It simply means that if you want to get a positive effect out of that recognition, you have to understand that the reason you are now realizing that will lead to a positive effect in your life. And perhaps the positive effect simply will be that you now recognize you no longer wish to exhibit the negative behavior. That can be a positive effect. Okay. You understand?

Asker: Yes.

Bashar: Also, the idea of something that you do today could come back years from now—that’s because you live in a linear space-time framework. Everything exists all at once. True. And in a sense, here’s a very interesting thing about the idea of living in a space-time continuum: it delays your karma to give you a chance to see what you’re doing and course correct.

Asker: But how will we know that it’s connected to that event, or does it matter?

Bashar: It doesn’t matter. You will always know when you are out of balance if you pay attention. And you don’t necessarily have to connect it always to a specific event. The idea simply is that you will always be given an opportunity to course correct by whatever circumstance or situation will work best for you to bring to your attention that you might be out of alignment. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to connect it to a specific thing to know you’re out of alignment. If you do connect it to a specific thing, then all well and good. It may give you some tools to work with. But if you simply can sense that you’re out of alignment, if you’re willing to have a deep exploration of what that means, you’ll find the answers you need, whether you remember a specific event that was representative of the misalignment or not.

Asker: Does that help you?

Bashar: Yes, very much.

Bashar: Is it lightening up your ability to use karma without straightjacketing yourself?

Asker: Yes, and I really wasn’t using the word any longer.

Bashar: A long time ago you had talked about that it really didn’t exist—not in the way that you explain it on Earth, no. Right, right, right. So you’re giving us a new definition really?

Bashar: Absolutely. It’s up to you to decide whether the definition works for you or not. If it does, I guarantee your life will be easier. If it doesn’t work for you, I guarantee you’ll experience more resistance. Because this is just physics. That’s all it is. That’s all karma is—it’s just vibrational physics. You’re in alignment, you’re not in alignment. That’s it.

Asker: Not so tough.

Bashar: Well, it’s just being in tune with whether we’re in alignment or not. Yes. And that’s the whole idea of why it’s important to be willing to explore the idea of that vibration instead of fearing it by giving it a negative definition. Because when you give things a negative definition, you don’t want to explore it, you’re not willing to look at it, and that’s what stops you, that’s what trips you up. Willingness to look at anything will never trip you up. There is no inherent difficulty in any situation. Only your resistance to it creates the difficulty. The situation itself has no difficulty. There’s no meaning in the situation, no built-in meaning. You give it meaning. That’s what you’re designed to do. You are the meaning-givers. You give meaning to life. You give meaning to creation. Through you, creation understands what it means.

You see the simple beauty of that? You are all reflections of All-That-Is. All that is learns what it is by experiencing all the reflections that all of you are that are it. You give meaning to it. You give meaning to God. You understand? And thus then, when you give meaning to God in your unique way, God gives meaning to you—just to use that word loosely. You understand? You give meaning to each other. It’s a relationship. It’s not a one-way street. It’s a relationship. It’s a circle. It’s a sphere. You are All-That-Is. All that is is you. Everything is made out of All-That-Is. There’s nothing else to make anything from because All-That-Is is all there is. There is no outside to All-That-Is. If there were, All-That-Is wouldn’t be All-That-Is because it wouldn’t be the outside. But All-That-Is is everything, so there is no outside.

2013: Year Of Transformation

Asker: Last year you talked to us about 2013 being the year of transformation, and that we would be shaken to our core this year. Have we just shifted to a different—always shifting—have we shifted to a reality that we don’t need to be shaken to our core, or is it still coming?

Bashar: You have asked the question in kind of a nervous way. Well, we are in LA, so perhaps I will say you have one foot in one reality and one still in the other, because you sound like you’re straddling your belief systems. So what do you prefer, and perhaps what do you believe is possible for you, and perhaps more importantly, what do you know is true for you?

Asker: Well, there is some excitement to Earth changes, yes.

Bashar: There is. You can again see anything in a positive light and experience it in a positive way. Doesn’t matter what it is. Even total destruction can be very exciting if you use it that way.

Bashar: So what is it for you?

Asker: I, uh, oh that’s a good question.

Bashar: The belief that you need protection invites the attack.

Don’t fear the idea and run away from it. Prefer another idea and run toward it. You know the difference? Because if you fear an idea and try to run away from it, you will never escape it because your fear anchors you to it because it’s that vibration. The only way to let that go is to focus in a completely different reality with a completely different vibration wherein that’s simply not a consideration, simply because you don’t need it to be.

Einstein said you cannot solve a problem from the same level in which the problem was created. You have to go to another level. So the idea is: don’t run away from fear, but run towards joy. And the idea of what is not you will simply not be an issue.

Asker: There’s a part of it that’s exciting, yes. And having grown up in Southern California, I’ve experienced earthquakes, many earthquakes, and things. There’s a part that is exciting and there’s a part that is community building and there’s other things that come.

Bashar: There is not that you have to do it that way, but if you do, true, you can reap the benefits. The idea of course is to learn that you can do it other ways. And practice that, I guess.

Bashar: Well, again, as we say, even going beyond what you believe to be true is what you know to be true. Because what you know to be true, you just do. You just behave that way. Action, behavior, and knowingness are synonymous. Do you understand this?

Asker: Yes. Well, I know I’m safe. There’s no question.

Bashar: Why did the question come up then?

Asker: A curiosity because obviously there is a question.

Bashar: There is a question because it’s November of 2013 and I found it fascinating that you said we’d be shaken to our core.

Bashar: That can be taken in many ways. That’s true. That’s true. I guess just the way you said it and how you kept stressing it.

Bashar: And the question for you is: why did you take it that way? Because that gives you an opportunity in the reflection we gave to see how you decided to take it, how you decided to interpret it, what meaning you decided to give that phrase “you will be shaken to your core.”

Some of you might have just thought of an apple. Okay. Some of you may have simply taken it to be something would happen in your life that would cause a great emotional change deep within you. Many of you took it in a variety of ways. So the question always is: look at the way you took it and ask why did I take it that way? And then you’ll understand your beliefs, and then you will understand which beliefs to hold on to and which beliefs to let go of that you don’t prefer.

So in letting go of core beliefs, you become shaken to your core. You understand? You shake yourself and shake out the core beliefs that don’t belong to you. Thank you. Shaken to your core.

Hawaii Tsunami And Fear

Bashar: Of course there is always the possibility of the physicalization that you talked about. We’re testing you now. And in fact, one recent idea has been put into your society to give you another opportunity to decide what you prefer to believe and what you prefer to experience. And this new idea—Nania, you’ll appreciate this—is that a part of Hawaii can destroy Los Angeles.

It has been discovered that over time, many aspects, many fragments of the Hawaiian Islands have sloughed off and fallen into the ocean—hundreds of thousands of tons of material at a time, creating what you call mega tsunamis. There is a land slump in the southeast side of the large island of Hawaii that is eventually going to fall into the sea. And when it does, mega tsunami all the way to the West Coast of your America. Get ready to hold your breath.

So that idea has now been presented into the reality pot. Stir, stir, stir. Mix in healthy amounts of joy and fear, synchronicity and karma. Stir and stir and stir. What comes out of that and how it tastes is up to you.

Communicating With Beings Of Light

Asker: I sometimes feel like I have One foot or a few toes in another dimension and the others in this.

Bashar: Of course you do. You all do. It’s just becoming more aware of that fact. And so when I see these other beings of love and light, I would like to also be able to either communicate or hear what it is they’re there to tell me, or I’m to communicate to someone else. Sometimes people who have lost someone gravitate towards me.

Bashar: Do you have a set of bells? No, but I could get some. Get a set of bells—an entire octave. Don’t have to be big. Small little chimes will do, as long as they are each representative of the pure scale of the whole octave. Yes. Okay. Rising up—ring one, ring another, ring another—go up the whole octave. Pay attention. Meditate on each tone all the way up the octave. Do this permission slip. You’ll become more sensitive to certain frequencies, certain vibrations. And as you thus then get used to this idea, there will come a time when you will feel you don’t necessarily need to ring the bells anymore. But suddenly you’ll realize you’re hearing something you didn’t hear previously, and you will start to pay attention to a more refined frequency. You will train your senses to be able to hear something you couldn’t hear before.

Asker: And then I’ll hear their voices?

Bashar: It won’t necessarily come as a voice. It may come as a knowingness. Do you insist that it has to be a voice?

Asker: No, it’s just that at times it’s very frustrating to be able to see them and not be able to communicate.

Bashar: Why is that frustrating? Who says you’re not communicating? Seeing them is a form of communication, is it not? Well then you can’t say you’re not communicating. Change your definition of communication. Can you do that? Yes. All right. When you change your definitions of communication, perhaps you will feel that you are communicating.

Crystal Skulls

Asker: Crystal skulls. Einstein the Crystal Skull—are you familiar with that one? Yes. Cool. So I’ve performed with him like six times. Oh all right. Seems to be attractive. I’m wondering if how exciting it is. It’s really exciting. I love it so much. Are you going to perform a seventh? Yes, probably like a 77th. Oh all right. Well, at least you are having fun. I know. So I’m wondering if you’ll just share maybe my connection with Einstein seems to be attractive—literally that they call me and say “you play with Einstein.” But what’s—well there are many connections that you have created with the idea. You have created interdimensional connections, understandings of tonalities, proportions, ratios, vibrations, resonances. You have created connections from the present into Atlantean times when it was quite common to play music with the skulls, to get them to resonate in certain ways. And by resonating along certain frequency lines, to store information that could be in a sense recalled later by someone placing their hands on it. They would actually hear the entire resonance message, the entire resonance tune being played back in their heads when they align with it. You understand? I do. So those are some of your connections.

Asker: So for the Atlantean time playing music, were there instruments similar to the hang?

Bashar: There were instruments somewhat similar to that, a little bit different. Also the idea similar to what you would recognize as pan pipe. Cool. All right. Well, sometimes the pan pipe is cool unless you leave it sitting out in the sun.

Asker: And the last thing—so while we’re on the hybrid kid thing for a moment—how many do I have?

Bashar: Are you all right? N, n, n. How many does he have?

Asker: She’s correct. It feels resonant. I’m a nine. So that’s a one in multiples. Work well for you. As we said, you’re connected to the idea of ratios and proportions. Yes. Okay. Thank you so much. Have an awesome now. Always. See you.

Polarity And Expanding Consciousness

Asker: We talked about state of being—yes—is what pretty much is calling the shots. Circumstance do not matter, right? Circumstances do not generate really the state of being; state of being generates circumstances which can reflect the state of being. But state of being generates circumstances. Right.

So recently I’ve been experiencing extremes—like one day I’ll be in the most exalted state of bliss, yes, and then the next day extreme fear.

Bashar: How exciting that you are exploring polarity in that way. Speak to me more about this if you will.

Well, remember, as we have said that when you expand your consciousness, you’re going to run into more negative energy, not less, because you are becoming more aligned with All-That-Is, which is All-That-Is, including positive and negative. But just because you become more aware of it doesn’t mean that in any way, shape or form you have to be afraid that it will control you. It’s simply allowing it to be equally valid to the positive, so that you can then choose what you prefer. It’s all about validation and allowance and equality and balance, right. And observing it from a positive state of being, yes. Even though you realize at least a neutral one, which is always slightly positive by definition.

Asker: Right, right. Because you had spoken to me about how your civilization can see the structure of how the universe works. Yes. I want to get to that place too.

Bashar: Well, it’s easy. Tell me about it. You just have to understand the nature of what we have described. You have to understand that everything is one. And when you understand that everything is one and everything is here and now, the all are the one and the one of the all, and what you put out is what you get back, and everything changes except the first four laws—when you truly understand those simple premises, you will be able to see the structure of existence and you’ll be able to compare every situation, circumstance, and experience to that structure to see what is truly representative and what needs to follow away.

Because as we have said, everything else is your definition. So when you compare your experience to the structure—the simple skeletal underlying structure of existence—you will understand where your definitions are in alignment with it and where your definitions are not. It’s that simple. You just have to have a real understanding of what that structure is through the expression of the Five Laws and all of the permutations of this.

Now we understand that sometimes it takes a little while for some of you to wrap your minds around some of this in terms of the great details, the depth of understanding. You may have what you call a cursory comprehension. But sometimes as you’re expressing, a deeper understanding seems to be missing, and you want to be able to really clearly perceive that deeper understanding.

To this end, we are guiding the channel to begin soon a new endeavor. The channel himself will teach a course in metaphysics to give many people a chance to really take each and every metaphysical principle that we have talked about and really dig into it, really explore every single view and perspective and idea and deep expression of each of these concepts. So the idea of investigating this more deeply will be coming up.

Asker: It already exists, of course, in many different outlets as well, but we are guiding the channel to do this as well, and this will come up probably in what you call your upcoming orbit at some point. That sounds wonderful. And thus then you will have an opportunity to have deeper discussions of each and every principle and really allow yourself not to make it second nature but first nature—to really see things, to see the structure, to understand the patterns in the way that we naturally do, to really allow yourself to experience what we call the science of the obvious.

Asker: Right. Well, yeah, and this is a lot of the studying I’ve been doing—it’s the observer effect, you know, and I can intellectualize it but I don’t live it 100% fully, and I want to.

Bashar: All right. Yeah, and you can. And one of the ways in which you prevent yourself from living it fully is by having a definition that says you’re intellectualizing it. Remember, what you know you do. Yes. So the idea is you actually do know it. You just don’t quite believe that you know it yet, and that’s the difference. You don’t quite know you know it yet. But you do know it. You all know it. You just don’t know you know it yet. Why is that? Because you have forgotten what you know in order to have an experience of discovering. Because if you don’t forget, you can’t remember. And that’s the experience—because that’s a new experience. It’s a new perspective. You are learning things you already know from a new perspective by forgetting that you knew it and discovering it from a new point of view. That’s how you grow as a being.

Remember, the structure never changes. Your experience of it does. And that’s how creation expands—not that the structure expands, that your experience of the structure expands.

QUESTION 13: TIME AND OVERWHELM

Asker: Hello Andre, you good day. Good day. I feel like all my questions have been answered.

Bashar: How synchronous of you. Yes. How fabulous. It’ll be easy for you. So I—it’s always easy for me. That’s true. That’s true. I know that’s why I said it. I believe you. So I have created an incredible, interesting journey that I’m on where I’m having lots of fascinating synchronic opportunities and meeting incredible people and a lot of things are coming into my orbit. Oh, all right. So what I’m trying to figure out—

Bashar: What you are in the process of figuring out exactly?

Asker: How do you stay in sync with the core because there’s all these things coming at me. Yes. I’m working a lot, an intense job, but all these other things are happening around that that I want to focus on. So how do you give yourself time to be able to choose what you prefer and how do you do that?

Bashar: How do you give yourself time? Really, really. Did you have time to come here tonight? Barely. How’d you do that? No, it was magic. Yes, that’s how. Magic. All right. That’s how. Okay. You are the creator of time. Make more of it if you need it. And the paradox is actually you don’t need as much as you think. I think it might be the idea that you’re overwhelming yourself with details that thus then take a lot of time. When in fact, if you simply operated more in the present, your life would take on a holistic nature that would actually require less time and you would actually wind up doing more.

Asker: I think I know so because that’s how we operate. And how do you know when you are actually following—when you’re true to yourself or true to the path that you should be on?

Bashar: Are you telling me you can’t tell the difference between when you’re excited and when you’re anxious?

Asker: Yes, but mostly anxious.

Bashar: Anxious is the product of fear, therefore it’s out of alignment with your true self. Excitement is the product of your alignment with positive belief systems that are in alignment with your true self. So if you’re not in excitement, you’re not in alignment. If you’re not in excitement, you’re not in alignment. But you always must take the time to make sure that you’re not just dampening what excitement could be there with negative definitions. Once you have thus then determined that the thing really is or really isn’t representative of your excitement, then you will know what to choose. It’s that simple. There’s no need to overcomplicate it or overthink it or put more details into it than need to be there.

Do you operate a motor vehicle? Yes. Do you know how everything in it works? No. But you drive it just the same, don’t you? Yes. If you sat in your car and say, “Now let me see, well I know that there are these things called pistons, and I know that there are these things called brakes, and I know that there are brake shoes, and I know there are nuts and bolts that hold them to the disc rotor, and there are some springs involved, and well I know that there are also some lines that have brake fluid, which means the lines must go to this reservoir”—when are you going to have time to drive the car if all of that is on your mind? Of course you won’t have time because you’re paying too much attention to the details you don’t need to pay attention to. Just drive the car.

Asker: But what if your job is to pay attention to the details?

Bashar: Then pay attention to them in the most exciting way you can, and you will expand your ability to sense what you need to know when you need to know it without necessarily having to look at every little minutia that passes under your nose. It’s all well and good to be detail-oriented in an organizational sense if that is your job. Of course, the question is: are you excited about that? Not particularly. Well, then there you go. So if you allow yourself to start acting on the things that actually are more representative of your excitement, you will most likely find out that they are a little bit more holistically structured than what you have been forcing yourself to do. Even though your job is detail-oriented, your first job is to actually act on what excites you the most and let that show you that it will support you if you’re willing to know that it can. And bit by bit, at whatever pace you’re comfortable with, the excitement will show you you can be supported, and then you can let go of the thing that really doesn’t excite you. And you’ll find out that you have a lot of time on your hands to do things that you really enjoy.
