Addiction

Addiction

Asker: Would you discuss addictive personalities and alcoholism?

Bashar: Addiction is the lack of willingness to take responsibility for what you are creating in your life, and the willingness to put that responsibility on the tools that surround you. It is an exemplification of what you call victimhood, the illusion and the game of victimhood.

Asker: The creation of an addictive personality is created in the moment someone is more willing to place the responsibility outside themselves than within. The second they take back the responsibility into themselves, they are no longer an addictive personality.

Asker: I had hernia operations six years ago and I’ve had intermittent pain since. Another is just today I had a check-up and my doctor told me there was something going on with my heart and wanted an EKG. Palpitations. So I wonder what it is.

Bashar: Allow it to be undertaken, but in this way do not fear. You are not alone at this time.

The transformation that is taking place on your world causes massive fluctuations within the electromagnetic field of your planet.

These are most sensitively perceived in your heart chakra and in your sinus area.

Many individuals, when you perceive the increase in activity in electromagnetic fluctuation as earthquake and volcanic activity, will be very sensitive in the heart area. They will experience palpitations and some pain, or in the sinus area which is filled with magnetite and very sensitive to electromagnetic frequencies.

The medical personnel who run tests will simply say, “Well, I don’t know what’s wrong.

Go home, relax, take a vacation.

If you’re doing anything that you should stop doing, stop doing it.

You, like many others are becoming sensitive to your connection to the planet.

The changes it is going through are a reflection of the changes you are going through as a mass Consciousness.

All pain in that way is simply the product of still making a comparison between the you you think you are now and the you you think you are becoming.

Exist in the now moment without making a comparison between a past and a future, and all friction that is caused by bringing those two unlike vibrations together in the same space will cease.

When think of yourself as being less and becoming more — that you are a slower vibrational “now you” and you will become a more advanced, higher vibrational, “better you” — you are creating there to be a separation within yourself in the present of two dichotomous, seemingly opposing polarity viewpoints of yourself.

Because you are creating there to be a slower vibrational “you” and a higher vibrational “you”. In that way, you are allowing yourself to bring these two frequencies together, and when you force them together, the difference in the rate of frequency causes friction. The friction exemplifies itself in physiological form as pain, fever, disease.

When you allow yourself to know that exactly where you are in the moment is exactly where you need to be, and live in the moment, and do not say “I will become this better thing, I am focusing on the future to become something I am not now which is a horrible nasty thing that I am now,” then you will be existing in the moment, both frequencies will be equalized, and you will no longer be creating the friction that translates into your body as pain, disease, and fever.

Asker: What about the operation? Another operation?

Bashar: if you are involved within a certain belief system that you require that treatment to allow you to cure yourself — which is all you are doing, since manipulation of matter is only an illusion, you follow me? You are agreeing to be fixed. You are agreeing to be manipulated to have your material form shifted.

That is an agreement. Without that agreement, it cannot be done. Therefore, you are simply expressing to yourself that you obviously have a belief system that says the way I need to heal myself is to have someone else do this for me to reflect my own ability to heal myself in that way. Now you are changing the idea of who and what you are, so you are finding that that may no longer be necessary.

Asker: over seven years ago. I had a physical contact with an alien. passed someone who was stuck in a car and offered my help, which was refused.

But I offered it several times, and then got involved in a process of trying to start a car that wouldn’t start, and then pushing, and becoming increasingly scared at the time.

Then he told me that he was from beyond this galaxy and that my help was recognized with a gift — the help I had given him.

I wonder about the gift, and also what happened. I just said I was glad to be of service and left, but then when I thought about the opportunity I missed to ask him where he was from, what he was doing here, what was going on, and turned around, he disappeared.

Bashar: You are functioning on more than one level simultaneously. First of all, the idea so to speak in the fundamental sense of the gift is that you are an unlimited being.

Just as you perceive the projection of that Consciousness to be unlimited. Recognize that when you have co-created an agreement to be of assistance in that way, that is the gift.

The gift being given to you is the gift of allowing you to give. You follow me? Exercising that gift of being of service always will create for you automatic support from the entirety of creation. Continue to exercise the gift of giving in that way, and know beyond the shadow of a doubt — because you have created such a strong symbol to represent it — that as long as you are willing to be of service in that way, to give of your own gifts, of your own being, you will automatically be supported by the rest of All-That-Is. In your ability to give the gift of yourself, you follow me? Continue to do so, and you will always lead yourself to more and more interactions with whomever you have made agreements to interact with.

Asker: Are you waiting for something to begin giving?

Bashar: No, no, I’m giving in certain ways. I guess.

Asker: You guess? Well, I am giving all the time. I mean, maybe not as much as I could.

Bashar: Not as much as you could? There is no need in the way of the idea of giving to feel that you have to deplete yourself. How are you giving?

Asker: Oh, I am giving by expressing my creativity and my love, yes. Feelings, sharing, sharing, sharing, sharing, and being completely the person you chose to be, not feeling incomplete. You do not have to push yourself so hard to the point where you find you are rupturing yourself. Do you follow me? Allow yourself to also understand the idea of piercing a veil between two dimensions, which is what happened in your interaction and your encounter. There is a positive and a negative reflection of the symbology of your operation.

Dream

Asker: Last night I had a dream about being that here with me tonight, and I dreamed that we were in a house and he had these three black voodoo dolls, and he asked me to use them on him. He said they were very hard to find, he couldn’t find anymore, they were very rare. And I said no way, I’m not going to use those on you. And he said well I’m going to leave. Can you give me an idea of what the voodoo dolls represent?

Bashar: First of all, understand again the exemplification of the triad. There is some connection to the idea of the translation of being energy through what you have called upon your planet the idea of magic.

Askerr: I’ve been doing a lot of channeling work, and for the last few weeks up in the upper left hand part of my head, it feels like there’s an activation of a pressure point.

Bashar: You are feeling a flow of energy shifting. You are feeling a glandular and a neuronic shift.

But it’s not like a plate put… and I don’t know if you can tell, the other night I received a lot of information and I can’t remember anything other than a date: April 7th. Can you give me any more information?

Bashar: Simply in this way, you will find that what we have called the timeframe of your 4th of April to the 11th of April, and the idea of 7 in the middle — 4,7,11 — in this way the 4th month, 4th day; 4th month, 7th day, 11; and this way 4th month, 11th day. The combination of the four, the way in the seven in that sense, is simply an exemplification of a high degree of activity of many different consciousnesses surrounding your planet and interacting with your planet on energy ways. You follow me?

Bashar: you are being given an opportunity to tinker with the opportunity to view your own male/female energy within yourself and to find them to already be married within you.

When you allow the service that is being provided by you, by the other Consciousness, to be performed, it may not be necessary for the full fruition physically of the Consciousness.

However, the opportunity can go both ways, for recognize this: agreements that you have made have the potential for being interacted both in a non-physical and a physical way, because this is the transformational life. And though you may wish to interact with those other consciousnesses in a non-physical way, you also have the opportunity to want to share the transformation with them physically as your associates in life. You follow me? As my associates in life? They have been associates in this way before, including the one you now have.

Even though you, in that sense, may be doing the mothering, they have been equal to you many times in the same way. And in that sense, you may find that you are, in your own terms, bringing through — well now this is only an analogy — but you are bringing through your own crew. You follow me? Now it does not have to be that way. First of all, recognize that the offering being offered to you at this time by the situation you have co-created with that entity is to simply, first and foremost, allow yourself to know that you are dealing with the blending yet again — another phase of the idea of the marriage of the masculine and feminine energy within yourself. All right, okay? And an assimilation of the polarities that are connected to many other lives and many other dimensions of experience. It is all part and parcel of what you chose. In this way, relax in a loving manner into the situation and the condition you have co-created, for always once again it all serves your purposes. And recognize that no matter in what way and what manner you choose to exemplify and bring it to fruition, it will always be the right way. You will not have regrets if you will know that you are always living in the moment.

For regret is only a connection to a past you do not prefer but you are judging, and that creates regret: “If only, what if, if only, what if.” All of that is illusion.

Sinus Pain and heart palpitations

Asker: you said that people have sinus pain, which I feel right now, and heart palpitations. you said that could be because of the Earth energy now.

But then you also said that pain is caused by the conflict when we don’t allow our separation. So is that still the pain that’s caused with the sinus thing and the heart palpitations because of the Earth shift? Is that the same thing — separation that causes the pain?

Bashar: Yes. It is nudging you to feel the separations you are making still in this way, not that you are still doing it so much, but simply that you may be creating remnants for yourself and it is simply allowing you to assimilate them at a rate that is comfortable.

The sinus activity is also an indication of your exploration of harmonic resonance, for that is your resonating cavity. In this way, you are beginning to break through your own veils and simply are exploring caves you have not yet explored. And in that sense, finding that as you enter each and every cave of a different size and a different shape, as you make your own tonality, the cave will echo back to you the tonality of its reflection of the idea you have shared. And as you continue to explore this idea, you will find that you will bring to bear the harmonic resonance and synchronicity of all the different caves you are exploring. In that way, it is simply an idea that may have a little bit of separation within it only because for you it is still, in your eyes, new.

Asker: Oh, I see. All right, okay, great. That’s number one. Number two is: I had a dream yet, and it wasn’t separated from this dream. Yet the only way I feel that I can talk about it is to share it in a way that’s separated, even though truth is my experience in the dream was the purpose of the dream was to say that… well anyway, what my experience was was that I was totally conscious in the dream as I’m conscious now, and that there was no separation, and that was the message of the dream, and that that is the way…

Asker: Yes, sure, guys. Yeah, I’m interested in the first question and answer of this evening about the shocking incident. Are you allowed to tell me if that would be part of my experience?

Bashar: We perceive that that does exist within you, and we perceive that there is a great capacity — capacitor — capacity to store the type of energy that can electrically, automatically, very quickly rewire your entire brain. Now, toying for a moment with that portion of your capacity, can you for now imagine a mirror, but a mirror that you can pass through?

Asker: Yes.

Bashar: See that mirror, step through that mirror. Look to the other side and see the same reflection but changed. What do you see that is different on this side of the mirror than what you saw on the beginning side of the mirror before you stepped through it?

Asker: Will I… body and will as well as an ability to see past, future, and others’ past?

Bashar: Oh, thank you. We have enough. In this way, understand that what you are creating for yourself is a recognition, a conscious recognition, of yourself as a holographic creation. You follow me? The explosion of your capacity, of your electromagnetic capacity, can allow you, once you have let us say laid down the pattern of the holographic reality you are describing, to create yourself in a sense to be what we have called a Flash Matrix. That is that you are enabled to function as a capacitor that once you have laid out the schematic of the holographic reality you wish to experience, you can then flash and activate it, granting it life and solidity and experience that dimensionality in that moment, in a flash perspective. You follow me?

Asker: Right. Would that reality continue?

Bashar: It can, or it can flicker. It is up to you. It depends upon the instructions you lay out in the original template.

Asker: That was a very nice answer. Thank you. I have one more. I’m also a little bit confused about this idea of following your heart or your intuition, your excitement.

Bashar: Yes, simply what we are saying is that what you call excitement is the physiological translation of the vibration that represents the path you chose to be.

Asker: Okay. Now I’m doing a few things presently in my life that are bringing me a great deal of stress. I think, on the one hand, “Okay, this is what my soul wants me to experience, so I better push myself to it.”

Bashar: Why would your soul want you to suffer? I don’t know. Well, it doesn’t. On the other hand, I say I’d really like to walk away from all this. But understand, it is not that you have to view it as walking away from anything, but walking to what is the vibration that represents what you know yourself to be. In other words, it’s like I say, “Okay, even though there is some suffering here, that’s not really the point.” Recognize that very often the point of choosing to create suffering is to know that you don’t need to have that.

Asker: Thank you, thank you. Understand, as we have said, you did not have to do anything to deserve to exist. You do not have to continue to do anything to deserve to continue to exist. Do what excites you, for what excites you is a reflection of the vibration of the path you chose to be. And that excitement, the feeling of that excitement, is being in synchronous harmony with your soul. That is what excitement is.

Chronic Pain

Asker: I’ve had pains and poor venous circulation for a long time in my legs. I’ve had pain in my lower back. There have been some changes in my nostrils and my breathing.

Bashar: How does it allow you to feel? The breathing?

I feel some disturbances there.

Bashar: What do you mean, disturbances?

Changes. Just uncomfortable. Uncomfortable, yes.

Bashar: Is change uncomfortable to you? Can you sit up straight now and take your arms and do this? Now will you do this including the breath? Again, one more time. Oh, will you do this? Now will you do this? Will you say the first thing that comes into your mind without thinking? Conviction. Don’t think. One-pointed. Trust. Faith. Very good. Life. Live it. Choice. Choose. Fear. Get rid of it.

You cannot get rid of anything. There is nowhere to get rid of anything to. You are your own Universe. There is nothing outside of you. You cannot get rid of any portion of yourself.

Trying to get rid of portions of yourself is what causes you to push those portions against the wall of your Universe, because there is no outside. In pushing against those portions attempting to get rid of them, you are impacting them with more energy than they need to have, and you are loading the spring by pushing them against the wall.

That causes them to be able to overpower your push and spring back upon you and disassemble and shatter you in all the different areas that they hit — shrapnel throughout your body, psychic shrapnel.

You are shattered in so many areas of your body from psychic shrapnel attempting to get rid of something and pushing against it when it has nowhere to go, until it explodes in front of you and peppers you with psychic shrapnel.

All of the different physiological pain you are experiencing is from the same explosion. They are not different, they are not unconnected. It is all one idea: having fear and thinking that you need to get rid of it rather than live through it.

View the idea that you are your own Universe.

Asker: Yes, I’m creating my own life.

Bashar: Yes, you are your own Universe, completely, totally, 100%. Allow me to ask you a question. How do you know that you are not creating everyone else you see in the room?

Asker: How do I know that I’m not creating… yes.

Bashar: Or do you know that you are creating everyone that you see, your version of them?

Yeah, I think that I do.

Bashar: Everything you are seeing is your version of that idea, not so much the actual thing. There really is no such thing as an actual thing. You follow me? All that you perceive is a reference point from an interactional idea with other ideas that you have created to be separate from yourself. In other words, you are All-That-Is.

You create the idea that there is something else and then form an interaction with it that creates what you perceive to be the objective Universe.

You exist. I want to start out on the right foot. Are you sure you exist?

Asker: Yes.

There is only one person to whom you can prove you exist, and that is you.*

You cannot prove to anyone else that you exist, for you do not know that if you are sitting there convincing someone else that you exist and they are nodding their head very obediently, that you are not looking at a hallucination. There is no way to know that you are actually talking to anyone else really. You follow me? You can only prove to yourself that you exist.

Bashar: In and of itself means that you are, in a sense, the only one in the universe. Now this is true for everyone. Don’t panic. You are both one thing, one idea, one All-That-Is, and you are also everything.

So in this way, you always have both ideas; it is always the polarity. However, for the purpose of this conversation, simply understand that you are creating everything you are perceiving. You are interacting with other Consciousness in a sense and creating your own version of all these other people, creating for yourself an image to which you can relate. You follow me? It is a projection, let us say, upon a 360-degree spherical screen around you. You are the projector.

Your personality, in that sense, is the prism, the lens through which the white light of your knowingness projects through the prism and fractionates into the seeming separate images that you perceive: up, down, sideways, below you, all around you. It is a projection on the inside of a 360-degree spherical screen. It is an illusion.

It is your version of the Consciousness with whom you are in contact. You follow me? It is as if every being was surrounded by this little globe and did not actually see each other directly, but only received messages that each other existed, and then they are forced to project an image on their 360-degree screen about what they think the other person they are talking to looks like. You follow me? You follow me? No. Keep it simple. Use the analogy in this way that I am suggesting: you cannot know the idea of existence except for yourself. What seems to you? Do you have the idea? Do you understand the idea that you are energy?

Bashar: Yes.

Asker: You know that matter is energy, energy is matter. Yes, yes. All right, understand therefore that matter, if you wish to look at it, is only solidified energy. Yes, yes. All right, now understand that your senses are not perceiving an actual world; they are creating it. You follow me? What you perceive as the arrangement of energy and matter in your world is what you choose to create, what you choose to filter. Now understand, perhaps what may be confusing you is the idea that there seems to be agreement, and that is all there is. You are making a let us say non-physical agreement with all the other consciousnesses to project a similar picture on the inside of their screens so that you can share something in common. You follow me? But understand that every person’s projection is not identical to yours. It literally is not the same reality. In other words, you will find that let us say you are sitting on what you call a chair. You have your own version of creating the concept that you are sitting on a chair. Since you know, as an energy being, time and space are your own illusions. You are projecting yourself into an illusionary dimension you call physical reality, and you are creating the concept that you are at rest, and in symbolic identification you are patterning the idea of “Here is a symbol to show that my symbolic physical form is symbolically at rest” by sitting in a symbolic chair. You follow me? It is all an illusion. You follow me?

Bashar: I lost you long time ago.

Asker: Why did you not say so?

Bashar: I did, but you didn’t hear.

Asker: You are not lost at all. Simply, you are encountering the unexpected. Understand that we have established with you that from many different points, you do have an understanding of the let us say transcendental, transient nature of your existence. Are you, by nature, let us say fundamentally a physical or a non-physical being? Are you a soul, or are you only your physical body? What is your perception on that? You have not thought about this? Of course it’s not…

Bashar: Well, what is your perception?

Asker: I’m first of all a soul.

Bashar: All right. What is a soul to you?

Asker: Your essence. Will that do as a definition?

Bashar: All right. Now is your soul something that is let us say basically physical or non-physical to you?

Asker: Non-physical.

Bashar: All right, then you have the concept that if you were to exist just as a soul without a physical form, you could do that.

Asker: Yes.

Bashar: Yes. All right, then understand that the idea simply is — if you wish to take it another step further — is not so much literally that a soul projects itself into a physical universe that is already there. It is that the soul is the creator of the physical universe as it chooses to project itself into that idea. You follow me? Your physical body is a reflection of the soul in physical terms. It is not so much truly that a soul inhabits a body, although that is the illusion that has been created. It is more simply that your body is a reflection of the soul in physical terms. Not necessarily that your soul has hands and feet, but simply that it is exemplifying itself in whatever manner represents the essence of the soul and its ability to do things, to create things — which in physical reality requires the idea of what you have created to be hands and so forth. Now if you can understand the idea that as a nonphysical entity to begin with, you are the creator of all that you experience, literally, then you can understand that physical reality is only an expression of the imagination of the Soul. Does that make sense?

Bashar: All right.

Asker: Then understand in that way that all we are saying is that anything you are experiencing in a physical reality is, in a sense, a product of the imagination that you possess. And in this way, you can know that your physical reality — any physical reality you experience — is a product of that imagination. Whatever you imagine your physical reality to be will be what you experience as a physical being. You follow me? It is from your belief system. What you believe the reality to be is what creates what you experience in life. Now if you find that you are having an experience in physical reality that you do not prefer, then simply recognize that what you are experiencing is the product of the belief system that simply says, “I believe that this is the most likely reality I can experience, for whatever reason.” Now the idea of having a fear — a fear that something can happen, a fear that an idea is more likely to happen than any other idea — is the same thing as saying you believe that that is the most likely reality you will experience. And of course, as you say in one of your languages, “Voila!” There it is. You always manifest what you believe your reality to be about, even if it is not a reality you enjoy, even if it is not a reality you want. You can manifest the reality that you do not prefer simply by believing — and/or fearing, same thing — that that reality has more potential to become real than the one you desire. It is only out of the habit of believing so in what you call your unconsciousness that allows you to create and attract situations within your body, within your reality, that you do not prefer. But recognize simply in this way that it is all your creation, ultimately. You are choosing to believe that that has to be the way it is. And in that sense, if you know that you are making that choice, if you know you are creating your reality literally, then you can know that the choice you have made is equal to any other choice you could make. And you can simply — therefore, all choices being equal — now prefer to experience the one you would rather have, not judging the others you do not prefer, not invalidating them. For all the experiences you have created have gotten you where you are, and therefore you can love them and they have been of service to you, and you do not need to judge them. And paradoxically, by not judging them, that is what will allow you to choose the reality you do wish to experience and have only that manifestation in your life. What we are saying — and what we said before — is simply the idea that as you project yourself into physical materiality, as you create yourself to be the so-called physical being, as you create all the different levels of separation within that physical being that you call a Consciousness and unconsciousness, a subconsciousness — all of these being arbitrary divisions — in this way recognize that your soul is one unbroken wholeness. Yes, yes. All right, therefore recognize any so-called divisions that you perceive in physical life are arbitrary illusions imposed upon the idea of your physical being to serve a purpose. Now as you find in this way that you are one wholly contained idea that has many divisions, you can recognize that as the soul has created you, it has created you to be exactly within the parameters that are defined. Therefore, anything that is contained within you cannot step outside of the being that you are. And an attempt to get rid of something you don’t like is actually a reinforcement of that idea, because you are placing more energy into it than you need to give it, because you are not letting what you are trying to get rid of be equal to anything else within you and give yourself the opportunity to choose what you prefer. You follow me? Now the idea of fear. All right, let us say you have fear. So what? It is simply one choice out of many. So acknowledge it. Say, “All right, obviously I am creating my reality. Obviously I am choosing to feel fear.” If you know it is a conscious choice, if you make it a conscious choice to have created the fear, it will automatically be under your control again. And the second it is under your control, poof, no fear. Because you know that if it is simply under your control and it is one of the choices you made out of many choices you could make, you will simply say, “Oh, I chose it to serve me. Obviously it showed me something. All right, now that I know I can choose that whenever I want to, I also know I can choose anything else. So fear, thank you for doing your job and letting me know that I might prefer some other form of lifestyle. I will now allow you to reassimilate within me, having done your job so well, and I will now choose another way to view myself — and therefore automatically another way to live my life — without fear, without pain. Not saying that I will not allow the idea of pain to exist within my potential reality if I choose to need it, but I simply know that I no longer need the idea of pain to allow me to see what ideas in my life I have chosen to experience. Now that I am no longer invalidating what occurs in my life because I know I have chosen to create it, because I know there are no such things as interruptions in my life — because I am not so much on a path in life, I am the path in life and I cannot be off myself — therefore in this way, anything I encounter on the path that I am must be serving my purpose, my higher self-purpose, to know myself, to assimilate, to integrate, and to become in synchronous harmony with my Soul being. So that I know that it is my right to live in physical reality in the same manner and methodology as my soul exists, and that is constantly, continuously, and creatively within a state of complete and total ecstasy and unconditional love for myself as well as for All-That-Is. You follow me? How do you feel?

Asker: I’ll be fine.

Bashar: But why choose to assume that the fineness that you are now must take place at some point in the future?

“I will be fine.” If you are willing to allow yourself to know you are fine right now, then you will allow whatever seemingly negative manifestation you have chosen to experience to flow through you and integrate and disperse. For anything that you choose, if you allow it to serve its purpose, will not stay in the same shape in which it delivered the original message. If you allow something to serve its purpose, it will then be able to transform into something else. Understand: you do not have to make anything change. You allow things to change. Change is the only constant in the universe. You only make things stay the same. Allow the change to come in by acknowledging everything in your life to be what you want to experience. All the physical pain you have experienced in your life is what has gotten you to the point where you are now realizing you don’t need to learn by experiencing pain any longer.

You are tired of it. You follow me? It has served you. Let it have served you. The second you let it have served you instead of trying to get rid of it, that is when you don’t feel it anymore, and you don’t need to feel it anymore. Or you create positive manifestation in your life by approaching your life through the idea of paradox, allowing yourself to know that whatever it is you don’t want to experience, allow it to be all right to experience it equal to anything else. And then you won’t have to experience it, because everything — once that is equal in your eyes — will be able to allow you to choose what you want to experience clearly.

Bashar: We cannot in any way prove any of what we say to you. However, I can in your terminology absolutely 100% guarantee — that is the word you like — guarantee that you can prove it to yourself. All we are saying is that if you are willing to act as the person that you can envision yourself desiring to be, your reality 100% guaranteed will reflect that idea and only that idea to you. It can do nothing else. I guarantee it 100%.

Life works when you let it. 100%. Yes, yes, yes. I know it sounds too easy, but life is easy if you let it be. Life always creates more life without any difficulty whatsoever. Existence always continues to exist without any effort at all. No struggle. It just is. It is ecstasy itself. There you have a prime example. Therefore, allow yourselves the opportunity to realize — real eyes — to yourselves that that which you cannot imagine is real.

You cannot imagine non-existence. Go ahead, try. Hurts. All right, now recognize therefore that anything you imagine is, on some level of your existence, a real reality. And many of them are manifest within what you call physical reality in various ways according to the agreements you have made with everyone else to share the idea of this transformational timeframe. You will find that as you, in your terms, get further and further into fourth density transformational reality, it will not be so critical to all be experiencing the same basic reality together. You can form a society in which many members will be popping in and out, experiencing many different realities and coming back to share them with you, and cross-referencing and exchanging of information. In that way, you will no longer be considering those individuals to be insane as you label them now, because they are experiencing realities that are no less real than the one you experience by mass agreed-upon insanity. Recognize simply that insanity is only a definition, an arbitrary label. Allow me to remind you of another arbitrary label: the word “habit.” Because you choose to say, “Well, all right, yes, I’m doing it out of habit.” You are reinforcing the idea that you are giving yourself the excuse to keep doing it out of habit, because to you the idea of habit has more power than you do in the now moment to become anything you wish.

Asker: is there a difference between ecstasy and knowingness?

Bashar: There can be. Knowingness can be viewed as the first realization based upon existence’s Ecstasy of Creation. You have existence. All right, All-That-Is existence, one homogeneous unbroken idea: existence. Now when existence knows it exists, that is the first separation — knowingness. You follow me? That knowingness is created through the act of ecstasy.

Ecstasy is, in a sense, the state of existence itself, and it also is the underlying support substance, if you will, and mechanism of All-That-Is created within All-That-Is. It is, if you will, the medium of creation. In other words, ecstasy is the interaction of All-That-Is knowing itself.
