Writing And Channeling A Book

Asker: I’m writing a book. I’ve been told by several channelers I’ve already written this book and it exists wherever. How can I—it occurred to me that I’m kind of reinventing the wheel by rewriting the book all over again. Why can’t I just?

Bashar: You can channel it.

Asker: Can I but can I channel the book I’ve already written somewhere else into this current dimension I’m living in?

Bashar: Are you asking can you simply allow the book to instantaneously appear?

Asker: Yes.

Bashar: Yes, it’s possible. But it’s not probable. And I’ll tell you why. You want the experience of writing it. So it’s the journey not the end. The journey is the destination. The process is the point.

Asker: But I’m redoing the journey and the process all over again.

Bashar: No, it’s never the same. You know the old Zen saying on your planet: You can’t step into the same river twice.

Asker: I don’t know that, but I do know.

Bashar: Okay. It’s never absolutely identical because you are unique. So you, by doing it and going through the process of doing it, it will enrich you in a unique way that is completely different or even a little bit different—doesn’t matter—it’s still completely different from any other version of you that may have already created the book. Because they did it their way because they are a unique perspective. That’s why they’re a different version of you because there needs to be another perspective.

So you are unique. Don’t deprive the world of the unique expression of the book and don’t deprive yourself of the unique experience of the process that you are going to enjoy and the things you’re going to discover about yourself that will enrich your understanding of who and what you are in the experience of writing the book.

But certainly you can get into a higher state of alignment with the concepts and you can download it and in a sense channel it relatively effortlessly. That’s up to you. All right now that matter, but enjoy the process because that’s what it’s all about and in a sense that’s all there is. There is no destination. There is no goal.

The Scent Of Roses

Asker: We were up in Berkeley, and I had been standing in line and I was actually having almost a panic attack. I realized later I think you had said that when we come in contact with higher intelligence, sometimes some of the lower emotions come up and they have to filter through. But what helped me was as I got closer up in line, there was this pervasive aroma of roses and it calmed me down immediately. I spoke with you and I came back and I mentioned to the people around me, “Did you smell this wonderful aroma?” It was everywhere. Nobody had smelled that scent of roses. And I that was just for you. And where does that come from?

Bashar: Its activation comes from the idea of your guides and your own higher mind. And thus it is a vibration that is generated within your consciousness that allows you to have a physical representative experience of the shift in that frequency. So it was happening internally even though you had a physiological experience of it.

The Bigger Purpose Of The Stone Speaker Topic

Asker: I like the theme, the topic of this talk is the stone speakers. What was the purpose of this?

Bashar: Because you’re going to discover what’s behind it yourself. We have given you the push. Giving me the push? Yes, we have started you down a certain path because we know there’s something behind it that you need to discover. All right, but we’re not going to unwrap all your presents for you.

Asker: That sounds great. Help all of us now. If that is the case because I always thought about it, we all are here and we all have kind of a little push is one, yes maybe in different degrees. Which is good. But coming from another cosmic planet or dimension or all those situations, I think there is a bigger message than just having fun really.

Bashar: Although yeah, really. All right. If you say so.

Asker: And I’m trying to figure out what it is or what is the purpose of all of us being here.

Bashar: You understand that this is all a prelude to contact between our respective worlds?

Asker: Yes. Now we’re talking.

Bashar: Can you elaborate a little bit more? The information that we share with all of you has many different kinds of reasons for being and being shared. Not the least of which of course is to help you elevate yourselves and be more of who you are. And in so doing, by raising your frequency, you come closer to the vibration of our reality. And by coming closer to the vibration of our reality, it makes it more probable that our worlds can actually have contact and expand the family that we are.

And a lot of the information being given is specifically the way we go about initiating first contact with other civilizations. We do it this way because the information is really what’s important. And we remain kind of in the background so you’re not focused on the messenger, you’re focused on the messages. And this gives you the opportunity to decide whether or not to integrate the information in your society or not, because we don’t want to force you to do anything you don’t prefer to do.

So the amount of information that we deliver that you choose to integrate into your reality and how you choose to change your frequency is used by us as a barometer, as a measuring device to determine when you are more ready for more contact and more information that will lead to more open contact, so that one day we can interact more directly and expand each other in more fun ways.

Asker: That sounds great. And all of it, how is related with this topic with the stones?

Bashar: Well, the more you’re in touch with all the different expressions of the consciousness of your world, the more your vibration will be experienced in a holistic way instead of all the little compartments you’ve broken it down into. So by experiencing your vibration in a more holistic way, then you will become an expression of more of who you are and it will raise your frequency to be something more equal to ours.

Asker: I was thinking about that and when you started the talk you say something like the stones are kind of slow and they last longer in such a long time. Yes. And then I thought I might be wrong but maybe it’s right. The stones are somehow minerals or compilation of minerals different kind of it right. And they are also in your planet and many other planets. Is that a way that your society is trying to connect all of us in the same vibration or how it works?

Bashar: Yes, we’re not trying to. We are. And that’s why I initially said in the initial talk that once you get to the idea of communicating with your planet, you can also use that state of being to communicate with other planets as well and feel the connection of the web, the interconnection between all of our respective worlds. So yes, of course we’re using our world that way as well to reach other worlds. I am a first contact specialist and it’s one of the things I do is use the vibration of my entire society, my entire world and everything in it and send that vibration out. Those that respond to it, those that respond to the invitation of that vibration are the worlds we initiate communication with, such as your own because you answered the invitation. We all do? Yes. Well not all of you, but the ones that we interact with, yes.

Asker: So taking that one and I don’t mean to take more time, that’s all right, but although we already talk about a little bit about time, yes, yes, yes. In that regard, the stone has a more solid I would say solid material. You were relating that you I heard you that you were relating that like cutting a little slice yes make a sound and then it’ll be a vibration. So I was thinking that’s light can be maybe quarter of an inch or it can be ten inches depending on the size.

Bashar: Yes, it’s easier for your technology to get a tone out of it if it’s a little bit thinner. Yes.

Asker: But I’m trying to go another direction. All right. If that is the case, so then the vibration that will come from that stone, it will participate or resonate with the water that is in us. And by that fact in this earth we have a lot of water including the dolphins, the wells and all of it. So which one is the common message besides having fun and sharing vibration?

Bashar: To be yourself as fully as you can. That’s the only thing you need to do. Because you are a unique aspect of creation. And by allowing yourself to be that unique aspect as fully as you can be, you allow creation to experience the expansion of itself through all the different unique perspectives that each component of creation was created to be.

So all you need to do to allow for the expansion of creation is to be yourself and have the fullest experience you can of whatever experience you choose to have. That’s it. That’s how creation expands itself. It’s like all of you and all of us and all beings in creation of any form whatsoever are all the different ways that creation has of experiencing itself.

So even when you are choosing to limit yourself, that is still an experience that creation is having. And the idea of transforming yourself from limitation to more freedom will also be experienced by creation as a very freeing experience and that will allow it to expand its understanding of itself. The structure never changes, but the experience of the structure will always change and that’s infinite.

Singing Bowls And Crystal Bowls

Asker: I heard something about the singing bowl, the Buddha temple and the water. How is that related with our today’s?

Bashar: It’s similar in a way. A lot of the idea of the crystal bowls set up certain resonances and so forth that are similar to what we’re talking about. But if you really want the pure tone, it has to be a natural and not an artificial or man-made crystal.

Ufo Sighting As Self-Reflection

Asker: I was walking through downtown Oakland with a friend of mine and I felt this prompt to look up into the sky. So I looked up and saw the moon and I saw a red orange kind of glowing half circle. And it just looked very peculiar to me so I tapped my friend on the shoulder and motion for him to look up. And as soon as he did, it shrank and disappeared, almost as if it didn’t want to be seen. So I’m just curious about what that was all about.

Bashar: Well, what did it instill within you? What did it get you to look at that otherwise you may not have looked at?

Asker: A sense of wonder. All right. Excitement. All right. And I guess I had been opening, I don’t know my vibration, to encounter some sort of spacecraft.

Bashar: Yes. Why are you sounding confused about this? It sounds like you had all the things you were asking for. Yes, this is true. So where’s the confusion? Are you simply surprised that it happened?

Asker: I was just wanting to know what exactly it was.

Bashar: In a sense, you could simply say it is a projection of consciousness. Whether you experience it as a ship or not is really inconsequential. But a projection of another aspect of your own being in another form from another dimension to respond to your desire for more openness and more wonder in your life. Many of the encounters and sightings that many of you have—not all, but many—are actually other versions of yourselves from other realities, thus acting as a reflection, acting as a mirror for you to help remind you of more of who you are.

Asker: So it was just a reflection of myself?

Bashar: It was a reflection of yourself to yourself for the specific opportunity of opening you up to more wonder, showing you that that state of being you were in at that moment is the state of being from which to come and from which to act on all things in your life from that point forward. You were given an opportunity to experience the state of being that is more truly you.

Many people on your planet have this kind of backwards. Many people say, “Well I’d like to feel that again, so let me remember what that felt like,” without realizing that as they remember what it felt like, they are feeling it now. It may not be exactly the same, but it doesn’t necessarily need to be the same.

But even more important than that, remember that we have said you cannot experience what you’re not the vibration of. You remember that? So if you really stop and think about it, here’s the paradoxical trick: You actually have to already be the state of being to even have the ability to remember the state of being that you had. Does that make sense?

You see how you fool yourselves all the time? “Well if I want to generate that state of being again, let me try and remember what it felt like then.” But you see, actually you have to be in the state of being to actually have the memory. So you’re already there.

So the state of being is what is primary. State of being is all there is. That’s why we say it’s not the circumstances that matter so much, it’s the state of being. State of being generates the experience of the circumstance. The circumstance does not generate the state of being, although it can be used to reinforce a state of being. It doesn’t generate the state of being. It’s a reflection of the state of being.

Asker: So could you say that I was already in a vibration of wonder and that was just a manifestation?

Bashar: Yes, that was the manifestation of the state of being you were already in. So now that you know what that feels like, anytime you know you’re in that state of being, that’s the state of being that represents your true self, more alignment with creation. Act in everything in your life from that state of being and everything will be experienced in alignment.

Talent, Self-Worth, And Criticism

Asker: I feel I have a question about talent. You know we’ve all been given different talents, different sets of talents, and I feel like I have been given a lot of Artistic talents. And I feel that I’m maximizing a certain aspect. There are other talents that I feel like have been given that I’m not making the full potential. I guess I feel that I’m not good enough.

Bashar: But you’re good enough for the talent that you do express. Yes. What’s the difference then between them? What difference are you making between them? Why is this one okay but this one isn’t?

Asker: I’m good enough for this one but I’m not good enough for that one. Where’s the difference come in?

Bashar: I feel a stronger sense of criticism or potential criticism, negative criticism from others.

Bashar: Why don’t you fear that in the other one?

Asker: Because I feel that I’m really good at the thing that I am good at.

Bashar: What are you always good at it? Yes, actually from the beginning. Since I was a kid. Yes. Oh all right. And the others I feel perhaps that I haven’t spent as much time developing those talents.

Bashar: That’s all right. If they are truly something you’re excited about doing, certainly it’s all right to experience the process of development. As we said, the journey is the destination. And as you learn things, you’re going to get better at those things you’re learning. Is there nothing in your life that you didn’t know to begin with that you actually learned over time and got better at?

Asker: There are a lot of things that I well.

Bashar: Were you afraid what people were going to think about you while you were also learning or developing those other things?

Asker: No.

Bashar: So again, what makes these so different? Is it that you just didn’t care about those things as much?

Asker: I’m starting to see that I just followed my excitement in the thing that I do professionally. And that’s why I don’t feel that sense of criticism.

Bashar: And so by having that as a marker, by having that as an experience, do you feel you can apply that understanding to all the things that you are also developing?

Asker: Yes, I see that now.

Bashar: All right. Thank you. Because again, really no one is you. True. And even though people may do things that are similar to you, they will never do them the same. You are unique.

So while it’s all well and good to be open enough to accept the idea of creative or constructive criticism as you call it on your planet—of advice—you can always take the time to see if the advice you’re being given is something that you can apply to yourself in a positive way. But once you decide that what they’re saying has nothing to do with who you prefer to be, that’s the end of it.

Because they have no ability to criticize you because they are not you. They have no idea how you are going to do something. You understand? So they actually have no way of criticizing you. And when someone really does criticize in a negative way, they’re actually criticizing themselves and just projecting it on you. You understand that?

So the issue is really about them, not you. If you come from a state of compassion and centeredness, you’ll see that it’s their issue and they simply feel the need to project their criticisms of themselves because they feel a lack of self-worth onto you because they’re too afraid to examine that belief within themselves. So they’ll use you as an excuse to not have to. You understand? By trying to make themselves feel more superior to you by letting you be the one that they criticize instead of turning the spotlight on themselves because they’re too afraid.

And the reason they’re too afraid to examine that issue of self-worth or lack thereof within themselves is because they’re afraid that if they investigate that idea, they’re actually going to find out that it’s true that they’re worth nothing.

But it can never be true. That’s the secret. It can never be true because if it really were true that you were worthless, you wouldn’t exist because creation doesn’t make mistakes. And if you exist, creation must need you to exist. You must by definition be a valuable part of All-That-Is because if it wasn’t for you, All-That-Is wouldn’t be All-That-Is. Without you, if it believes—if it knows—it needs you in order to be All-That-Is, and you are worth that much.

That creation has created you because creation knows that without you, it isn’t all that it can possibly be. Why argue with creation about your worth? Because that’s what you do when you say “I’m unworthy.” You’re arguing with creation about your worth. You’re saying, “Oh, you made a mistake in making me.”

Now here’s another paradox in that state of being. When someone says, “Oh I’m not worthy, I am worthless, I don’t deserve,” they’re calling themselves out as being different than anyone else. “I, out of all the beings in creation, am not worthy.” That makes you actually arrogant. So insisting on a lack of worthiness is actually the most arrogant thing you can do. How’s that for a paradox?

Depression As Natural Compression

Asker: When I was 11 and 12 I went through a clinical depression.

Bashar: How exciting!

The idea of course is to understand that more often than not when people on your planet define the withdrawing into yourself, define the answers you know don’t exist outside you—when you define it in a negative way, you experience it as depression. When you define it in a positive way, because it’s a natural act to go where you know the answers are, it’s simply natural compression. Do you understand the difference? Compression. It’s a natural thing to compress, to go inward, to find answers you know don’t exist outside of you.

But when people on your planet say, “Oh you’re going inward, something’s wrong with you, what’s wrong with you, you’re antisocial, you’re shrinking away, you’re shutting yourself off,” then of course if you buy into all those negative definitions of the natural compression, you will of course feel it as depression. So don’t define it that way and it won’t be experienced that way.

Asker: And having gone through that now you can understand that certainly that’s not something you prefer to experience.

Bashar: Yes, no it wasn’t something I prefer.

Bashar: If you no longer prefer to experience the vibrational state called depression or even remember it as something you went through, then understand that by having gone through it, you now know that you don’t prefer it. And it has added clarity to you to know what you do prefer. And now you can label this idea, this experience if it ever happens again, as natural compression and not experience it in a negative way.

Asker: Well that leads me to the next part beautifully. Shortly after my 13th birthday, I just sort of woke up and I said to myself I was sick and tired of being sick and tired all the time.

Bashar: There you go.

Asker: And I felt this amazing kind of divine energy enter my solar plexus and it just filled me up.

Bashar: You felt more of yourself. Yes. And for the following three months I experienced this intense experience of enlightenment. I was telepathic. I was able to help people at exactly the right time whenever they needed.

Bashar: And you still do, just in a different way. Because once you master one thing, you go on to learn something else. Doesn’t mean it’s gone away. It just means it’s changed its form. That’s all. Because remember, when you raise your vibration to a new level, at first it’s all like, “Oh yes, oh yes, I feel this, it’s different, it’s new.” You’re going to get used to it after a while. And then it won’t feel so new, it won’t feel so different. But that’s all right because you can raise yourself to another level that will feel new again.

But it’s not that it has to feel whatever way it needs to feel. Remember that when we talk about the idea of acting on your excitement, we don’t mean you always have to be jumping up and down. A state of perfectly balanced, peaceful meditation can also be a representation of your passion. So it will fluctuate.

But don’t look at it like this. Look at it like this. You’re always going up even as you go up and down. You never go down to the same level you were at before. You understand?

Asker: Does this help? Yeah.

Bashar: I think for a number of years after, I sort of felt bad about it because I felt like I had lost it.

Bashar: You haven’t lost anything. Stop spending your time and energy judging yourself and adding more resistance and difficulty to something you don’t prefer to do. It’s as simple as that. Lighten up. Remember, the fastest way to enlightenment is to lighten up on yourselves. No negative judgment. If you did something you don’t prefer, all right, acknowledge it. Own it. Own up to it. “I did something I don’t prefer to do. I did something that’s out of alignment with who I prefer to be. All right, I take full responsibility. I acknowledge it absolutely. I’m the creator of that. Now what do I want to learn from that? Who do I prefer to be now?” Done. Move on.

That’s how it works. That’s how it can work. Unless of course you really enjoy spending more time in the process of berating yourself and judging yourself. And if you want to do that, I won’t stop you at all because it’s your choice all the time. But if you prefer something else, then by all means choose something else. It’s up to you.

There is nothing in existence that can possibly contradict the choices that you make. Nothing. You understand? Because there would be no point to it. You are the one in charge. You are the one in control. And even if you feel out of control, you’re in control of that experience. You can never actually be out of control. You can never actually be disconnected. But you can create experiences of being out of control. You can create experiences of being disconnected. But the paradox and the irony is you have to be in control and be connected to have experiences of being out of control and have experiences of being disconnected. You see the irony?

So it’s not a matter then of looking back on it and asking for example, “How can I recreate that?” Instead, are you saying that I can look back? You can look back. I can look forward. But the idea of looking back is something that’s happening in the present. If it helps you to relate to that idea in order to give you more ability to clearly define who you prefer to be now, then you can use it that way. But everything exists in the now. There actually is no back. There actually is no forward. Everything exists here and now. Future and past are illusory.

So it’s just a matter of moving deeper into the present. It’s just a matter of more clarity in defining yourself in the way you prefer to be, in more alignment with who you prefer, who you know you really are. That’s it.

Asker: Simple? Yes. Yes.

Bashar: I know that on your planet sometimes people find such things too simple and they want to complicate them because they have been taught to believe that if something is not really difficult, then you haven’t earned it, it’s not worth it. You’ll go through enough processes that you absolutely need to go through without having to invent more of them than you need to go through. Believe me, you deserve any amount of happiness you can imagine. But the point is that whatever you believe you deserve is what you’ll get. And you’re fully in charge of that.

Afterlife And Alzheimers

Asker: When I was younger, there’s a vision that I have when I’m about 7 years old of my great-grandmother.

I see her when I’m younger and she’s healthy, and then as she’s dying with Alzheimer’s on the bed, I’m connecting with her losing touch with consciousness and kind of seeping into the existence with a person with Alzheimer’s. It almost felt like she was turning back into an infant or like going back.

Bashar: Well in a sense yes, but she’s also moving on and therefore a lot of her consciousness is now focused in non-physical reality as well, thus leaving shall we say the physical consciousness to in a sense regress because without the totality of the connection, the physical consciousness is relatively basic. Do you understand? Because there is a physical consciousness unto itself, but it needs the augmentation of the spirit side in order to be a whole person. And when the spirit side begins gathering itself back together to continue on that side without continuing on the physical side, then detachments start happening that bring the physical mind back to the state at least closely enough to the state where the consciousness first plugged in from the non-physical side. So back to infancy.

Asker: And what I’m wondering is when the soul crosses over, what frame of consciousness is their frame of reality as far as what are they perceiving in the afterlife? Is it their peak existence on this planet like what can it be?

Bashar: A lot of it depends upon what strong beliefs they may have had in the cross. But if they don’t have any particular strong belief about what it is they are either fearing they will experience or strongly believing they will experience, then generally speaking for most people you will experience a kind of awakening, a kind of heightened sense of who you really are.

You know if you’re having a dream and in the dream it seems very real, but when you wake up you go, “Oh well that was a dream, but this is who I really am.” Dying is like that to some degree for most people. This physical life seems so real to you, but when you die you wake up and you go, “Oh well that was kind of just a dream. This is who I really am.” You understand?

So you have in a sense broader sight, bigger perspective, less limitations, less barriers. So you can really see the whole span of the life quite instantaneously, understand all the interconnections, all the consequences of the choices that you made, experience all the effects of those choices not only for yourself but for anyone else also involved in the consequences of all those choices because there are no longer any barriers, any differences, or at least not as many differences between you and another because now you’re experiencing that great connection.

Then you have the broader perspective of all that experience under your so-called non-physical belt and you can decide what to do next. It can be the experience of a reincarnation—although again all lives existed at once, so reincarnation is just an illusory experience, real for the experience that it is but not an accurate description of the mechanical structure of existence in which everything exists at once. Nevertheless, you can choose that experience. You can choose to go on to other dimensions, you can choose incarnations in other civilizations, you can choose basically anything you want as long as your strong belief systems don’t hold you to a particular idea.

Many people when they die and cross over with very strong fears or belief systems about what they believe they ought to experience may experience that both positively and negatively at first when they cross over. Because there’s no time lag between what you imagine and what you experience in that reality level. But if it is something very, very negative, very difficult, very painful—the idea if they thought they would experience that for all eternity is not going to happen because as soon as they get there and have that experience, they’re going to immediately want to back away from it. And as soon as they want to back away from it, they do and it changes.

Asker: It is. I feel like the heaven place we all are going to—I’ve heard that yes everyone goes to heaven. Everyone, right? There’s really only one idea of the spirit level. There may be many levels within it, but it’s all the spirit level. And you will experience in a sense what you bring with you, what you believe is most likely to be experienced, what level you consider yourself at or what level you prefer to be at in order to explore something. Because many things can also be explored in spirit as well as in physical reality. They just happen differently.

Asker: Is that based on our consciousness as what we have become?

Bashar: Well it’s based on the consciousness you actually are on the spirit level. Because as I said, it’s like waking up from a dream and remembering, “Oh this is who I really am. That was a dream.” So the idea is that yes you can bring with you some of the experiences you’ve had in physical reality and add them to the totality of who and what you are, but it will make up in a sense a relatively small part of what you are as a greater being. It will be one experience under your belt. In the same way that you may have gone through many different grades in school or had many different jobs on Earth—all of those experiences add to who you are, but nevertheless the greater you is who had all those experiences. And so it’s still happening to you. You’re still bigger than all those experiences even though they have added to you as well.

DMT Vision Of Ganesha

Asker: I’ve experimented with DMT. The vision I got was I had alien contact, entity contact.

Bashar: That will happen at a certain frequency with that particular substance. Of course. I also feel like I had a vision of what heaven might be like. I don’t know what all right. What was your vision?

Asker: Just every colors I’ve never seen before, shapes I’ve never imagined, and just beauty all around.

Bashar: Well that’s quite common of course because again you’re dealing with a different level and you’re dealing with more of yourself. You’re not really experiencing the idea of negativity in that way, even though you are aware there is still the possibility of polarity. You’re not experiencing it in the way that you do in physical reality. So by being more in alignment with more of yourself, you’re going to experience that beauty. And yes on the spirit level there are such things as colors that your physical mind can’t even imagine.

Asker: And I had a vision of Ganesha and there was a male and female, the entities were spinning galaxies and throwing them back and forth, and it looked like a creation of…

Bashar: Well yes, this is an archetypal level of the aspect of creation of All-That-Is. You can express it in any way you want. Every archetypal expression is its own autonomous consciousness, yet it is also simultaneously just another projection or an aspect of All-That-Is.

Teenage Son And Studying

Asker: 6 months ago in my meditation I asked for a spirit guide and I found you. All my questions were answered in the first session. And ever since I met you, I have been asking what is my highest joy and excitement and I got my answer—that being in a meditative state, meditation, can be your highest state of joy and excitement.

Bashar: Yes, it can. It won’t necessarily always be that, but yes it can. And it is for me for right now. Yes. For right now. Now my question is regarding my teenage son. He’s like very happy when he’s playing video games and I see him laughing like a baby, a kid. But when it’s study time, I see sadness in his eyes. And then you haven’t taught him how to study. No. But so okay, so I need your help how to teach him to study.

Bashar: Well, you haven’t taught him how to study. You see, the system on your planet of schooling—usually not always, but usually attempts to adapt the child to the system instead of adapting the system to the child. When you understand what it is that actually ignites the child’s curiosity and interests and excitement, then the teachers and the parents’ duty is to have the imagination necessary to take the lessons that must be learned—if they must—and adapt them in their imagination in a manner that is representative and reflective of the child’s passion. So that the child will want to learn those things because they are in the context of what excites the child instead of forcing the child into a box that may have nothing or little to do with them. You understand?

So changing your system to be one that is more interactive, one that is more representative of actual activities in the world so they can learn by doing and actually experience the consequences of their choices and examine the possibilities and then make choices that are in alignment that benefit them—these are the things that you really need to teach the children.

So once you recognize what it is at any given moment in their life may be representative of excitement and passion, what really ignites a fire under them, then have the creativity and have the imagination to take the basic ideas that they need to learn and adapt them in ways that they themselves will want to learn. Get things to be more creative, more interactive, more hands-on, so they will really learn by doing, learn by being a member of society. And teach them how they can use the toolkit of excitement to allow excitement to support them in whatever way they need to be supported.

Individuals may exhibit an excitement in one seemingly restricted or limited arena, but if you are creative enough and you find ways to adapt the lessons to that arena, believe me, they will not stop learning. They will beg to learn if you make it exciting and interesting enough. Which is the duty of the teacher and the parent.

Asker: But if the school is boring for them, then how do we help as parents at home? We have limited time.

Bashar: I see. Then perhaps you need to be creative about your own experience of life so that what time you have doesn’t feel so limited and it is sufficient time to teach what needs to be taught or guide what needs to be guided. Again, I’m not just saying you have to use your creativity and imagination toward the child. You have to use it toward yourself as well to rearrange your own life to be representative of the idea of joy.

And if you do it because excitement is the organizing principle, then that means it will arrange the things you need to do in the order and the timing in which they need to be done. And whatever doesn’t get done that day doesn’t need doing because you are willing to believe and know that excitement is the organizing principle. So the only reason it seems that your time is limited is because you’re not actually using that aspect of the excitement tool and allowing it to arrange your life in the order of the things that need doing.

Bashar: So remember, in any given situation, the student and the teachers are also the teachers and the students. So learn from the student by learning how to be a teacher that inspires the student. And be inspired by the student to be better teachers, more creative, more imaginative. So if you love meditating, ask for information in your meditation to have inspirations as to how to create the lessons in an exciting and inspiring way for the children.

Galactic Family And Names

Asker: Bashar and you a good day. I’m Lisa. Oh all right, if you insist. I do for this life which is one of my questions. I want to know what would my galactic family call me?

Bashar: Well for now they would call you Lisa. So am I known by any other name that you’d be able to of? But in the greater sense yes, but you no, you are Lisa. So it depends on what you mean by you. What level of you you’re talking about.

There are levels of you that have no names at all because you don’t need them. There are other aspects of the greater being that you are that obviously have other names, just as you have a name. But it depends upon what level you’re talking about.

Asker: Yes, okay. But you are Lisa. I am. And you’ve never been anything else ever.

Bashar: Okay. Yes. I love that. All right. Well then why’d you ask?

Asker: I was just wondering. I thought there’d be some special name I had or something like that.

Bashar: But what’s wrong with Lisa? Nothing. I love my name.

Bashar: I would like more special enough. No. I would just like more.

Bashar: Why? I think I don’t know. Yes, you do. Okay. Why? I think it’s something that I’m used to. A name is probably something unique for me.

Bashar: Well of course. Maybe it’s really about the energy behind it. Would you prefer another name? Not in this life. Well then why ask? You see path of least resistance. If the name you have works for you, why look for another? Why think that that name is more special than the name you have?

Chip In The Hand

Asker: I want know if this is a chip in my hand.

Bashar: No. It’s so much more exciting to think it’s a chip. Everyone says it’s lead. I like thinking it’s a chip. Then think it’s a chip. All right. But it’s not. Okay. Let it is. But if you believe that it is, then it may function like one. Well I like the story of it. I like thinking of that.

Bashar: I understand, but therein lies the point. You can learn something from the story of it without it actually having to be that thing. It can be a stand-in. It can be a symbol for what it is you need to get out of the story itself. Make sense?

Window Bowing Experience

Asker: About six months ago I was driving on a road that was isolated. A truck was coming the other way and as it passed me, I felt this huge surge of energy that came through my car, through me, through my body. And out of the side of my eye, I even felt or I thought I saw my windshield bow out. What was that?

Bashar: It is a representation of what we have said is one of the increasing and accelerating symptoms of fourth density reality, where time and space becomes more malleable, more flexible, less rigid. So you took that moment in passing to sort of pass through, to sort of shift in a way that you were viscerally aware of instead of being unconscious about it. And you started to physically experience the result of a shift. To pay attention, to be aware of the shift itself was awesome. The actual shifting process and seeing and experiencing how flexible, malleable, illusory, and unreal physical reality actually is.

Manifesting And Hybrid Children

Asker: I’ve been manifesting like crazy. All the things I desire, all my dreams are coming true. So I have a new question in my life that has come up which is what can we replace body parts that have been removed surgically? So I’ve had a hysterectomy and it’s possible that I can have children?

Bashar: It’s possible. We cannot tell you how probable it is at this point because it has to be relevant to the themes that you chose to explore. And only you will find that out when you get to the point where it becomes relevant. But if you do get to the point where it becomes relevant, then it won’t matter because the idea is that when you shift—you understand we have talked about this—when you shift, you’re actually a different person in a different reality. You follow? So it’s not like the organ comes back. It’s that you shift into a body that never lost it. It’s very exciting.

Asker: I love that. So if it becomes relevant for you, then the shift will happen and you will have the ability to have children in that sense. And at the same time, do not close the door on the probability that you could attract a child in another way.

Asker: Be open. I am open. All my life I’ve thought about twins. They don’t run in my family or anything like that and through the course of time that desire never really left. I understand. So the last time I saw you there was a lot of talk and a lot of questions about hybrid children. So I was wondering if I have hybrid children that are twins.

Mount Shasta And Frequencies

Asker: When you scan bodies, when you scan our energies, what do you look for?

Bashar: For whatever stands out because that’s what needs discussing.

Asker: Can you scan me?

Bashar: I have been. It’s not something I just start doing. The only way we can actually communicate with you at all is to have a constant scan. Thus we read the energy patterns that are necessary for us to read. We can perceive that there are other energy patterns that may be there, but we can also perceive the energy patterns that are not necessarily ours to discuss. The ones that are ours to discuss are the ones that stand out.

Asker: So if I’m bringing up a topic, is there anything that you would bring up after scanning me?

Bashar: There might be. You have my permission to. I know we are scanning and we are communicating. So one moment. Are you going to take a trip to a mountain soon?

Asker: I’ve been thinking about a mountain. Mount Shasta?

Bashar: Yes. Then go. For you may have a realization there that will assist you.

Asker: I have one more. I really want to understand my interest in frequencies lately and especially when I’m discussing a topic with you about something that could be miraculous in a sense. I want to know about 528 Hertz.

Bashar: That is not for us to give you. But when you go to Shasta, you may find the answer you seek.

Asker: The frequencies, do they need to be played in their pure tone for them to work for healing?

Bashar: Go to Shasta.

Alchemy And The Philosopher’S Stone

Asker: I wanted to see if you can tell us more about the minerals and the elements that you were discussing about the stones. Yes, what about them? I wanted to know more about how to put different elements together like silicon, copper, and gold.

Bashar: All right. Well perhaps it would be wise to study chemistry. Is that not exciting? Yes. Well are you doing it? I’m not because I’m doing other things. I thought you said this was exciting. Well the vision that I wanted to use it for yes was to learn more about technology. Well, did the technology just leave you?

Asker: Kind of.

Bashar: All right. Wow, that’s interesting.

Asker: There are no accidents. Are you taking all the actions you could possibly be taking on what you say excites you or not?

Asker: I’m not.

Bashar: Then there you go. Why not? Do you understand the original idea behind the philosopher’s stone?

Asker: No, I don’t.

Bashar: In ancient times on your planet, the alchemists were searching for the philosopher’s stone which they said would turn base metals into gold. You understand that concept? Nevertheless, what it actually represented was the idea of the turning of the base elements within your physicality into more pure alignment with spirit. That’s what that meant.

So the idea of really being an alchemist is for you to really act in the direction of your spirit, to align with that frequency in order to transmute yourself from a lower frequency to a higher frequency, which will then give you the thoughts, the inspirations, the opportunities in order to act further on these ideas, to explore them further.

But if you’re not willing to act on the things that excite you, you’re actually giving off a signal that these things are not really what you want. So until you act and round the commitment of your excitement into a physical action, you don’t appear convincing to the universe. I’ll just put it that way.

So if you’re not convincing the universe that this is what really drives you, that you are so passionate about something that you will look for any opportunity to act on it, to jump on it, to learn something about it—but if you’re not doing that, then the universe looks at you and says, “Well he’s just going home. Can’t be that exciting. Why should we give him something that he actually isn’t preparing himself to receive?”

So what’s holding you back from acting on something you say is your passion?

Asker: I don’t feel like I have the right tools.

Bashar: Such as what?

Asker: Well I would love to have a spaceship.

Bashar: You would love to have a spaceship. You need a spaceship to learn chemistry?

Asker: Yes. Why? Well I’ve been watching a lot of sci-fi and the spaceships tend to already have the information for you to learn.

Bashar: Oh I see. Then why don’t you learn to be your own spaceship and download the information? It’s what we do. Information is free, you know, to all of you. All you have to do is tap into it and download it. But remember, we said you cannot perceive what you’re not the vibration of first.

So if it’s exciting to you to be in a spaceship and have the information instantaneously at hand, then if the spaceship doesn’t appear externally, be the spaceship first yourself. Be the vibration of that reality. Get in the state you would be in if you had a spaceship. And when you’re in that state, you’ll get the information that would be commensurate with being in a spaceship.

And again, paradoxically, if it’s ever going to be necessary or relevant for you to actually have a spaceship, being the state of the spaceship first is what will bring that about most likely. But the spaceship won’t happen first if you’re not the vibration of it first. You understand?

So be the energy. Be the idea. Be the reality in essence, in energy. Start receiving the information. Start receiving the downloads that would go hand in hand with that reality as you envision it. But don’t insist on the particular form. You remember what we said about the whole formula of acting on your excitement? Yes. You’re putting the cart before the horse. You’re saying, “I will not get excited about this unless this happens first, unless it happens in this way.” It’ll never happen because it’s like saying to the reflection in the mirror that’s frowning back at you, “I will not smile until you smile first.” The reflection will never smile first, ever.

But when you smile, the reflection has no choice but to smile back. But you smile not because you need the reflection to smile. You smile because that’s your choice. And when it’s your choice, no matter what’s being reflected back, then you are stating that you’re committed to that state of being. And then the reflection has no choice but to reflect your commitment back to you.

Remember, the measure of change is not whether the outside changes. The measure of change is whether you change regardless of whether the outside changes or not. That’s how you prove you’ve changed. Because you get to the point where you don’t care whether it appears or manifests or reflects in a certain way, because you know that no matter what way it does get reflected, that’s what serves you best. And you don’t hold on to the particular image because you don’t know. You may have this wonderful image of being in a spaceship and that’s all well and good, and we’re not saying there’s anything wrong with that and it might manifest that way. We don’t know. Neither do you. But that’s the point. You don’t know how it really needs to manifest to serve you best because your physical mind isn’t capable of knowing how something is actually going to happen. Only your higher mind knows that.

But if you use the image of being in the spaceship as your visualization and you get excited and get into the state that you would be in if you were in that ship, then let the picture go. Then just by having that state and allowing the higher mind to manifest whatever at that moment is actually representative of that state, then whatever it is that manifests, you have to know it’s part of that reality even if it doesn’t look like it right now. Because the moment something happens and you say, “Oh that’s not what I expected, that’s wrong, that doesn’t look great, that doesn’t look like I pictured it,” as soon as you invalidate it, you remove the stepping stone you need to get there. You have to validate everything that happens and get from it the positive benefit that it can give you by giving it a positive meaning, even if your mind can’t possibly comprehend how it could be connected to your excitement.

The fact that it might contain excitement lets you know that it is and it is connected to every other expression of your excitement. Remember, excitement is a complete kit—driving engine, organizing principle, path of least resistance, and the thread that leads to all other expressions of excitement. So don’t insist on the form. Insist on the energy. Be the energy state. That’s all it takes. Let the form take the form it needs to take.

Bashar: Our ships are extensions of our higher minds. That’s why we are actually capable of communicating with them. They are linked to us because they are actually a physical expression of our own higher minds. But we had to know that before we could make them. Make sense? We had to be in that state before we would attract the information that would teach us how to make such a thing.

Asker: What type of crystals? Well the ship is a crystal. The ship is a grown crystalline form. We grow our ships as crystalline forms on an energy template of a certain frequency, of a certain shape. When the nanotechnological metallic crystalline form is grown on that shape in that template form, it can take no other shape. That’s why the skin can be very thin and be absolutely undent unless it’s overpowered by an incredibly powerful force many times greater than the actual energy used to construct the ship. So it is a crystal. And we are in it in a sense.
