Stepping from the Shadows

Belief systems are structured in a manner that allows them to perpetuate themselves, reinforce themselves so that what it is that you believe in can be experienced as a seemingly real reality. If belief systems did not reinforce themselves, you would be able to see right through the smoke and mirrors of the illusion of physical reality. So that structure that reinforces it allows you to have this experience and consider it to be real.

Now we have talked about several different ways of getting in touch with what you might call negative beliefs and learning to let them go so that you can transform your energy into a more positive direction. And today we offer another suggestion for a way to explore how to do this, how to allow this kind of transformation to take place in a new and different way.

The Fear Exercise

So for the moment, I will ask each and every one of you that cares to participate to simply remember a time — doesn’t have to be much, even just a little bit will be fine — but simply remember a time when you were afraid.

Now I don’t necessarily mean “I’m afraid of getting hit by a car” — but that can be used to some degree. We mean the idea of the fear that holds you back from being yourself, from really acting on your passion, from really following your truth. That sensation you get in the pit of your stomach when you know that you would really prefer to move in a certain direction but you find that you are afraid that something negative will happen if you do. That sort of idea, anything like that. That sort of timidity, that sort of trepidation, that sort of uncertainty, that sort of feeling that there is no confidence within you to move forward. The thing that gnaws at you, the thing that you keep choosing to do that wears you out and exhausts you because you’re not willing to allow the energy to flow.

That sensation — as you allow yourself in this moment to remember such times when that may have cropped up in your life — and know that there may be times ahead where it may crop up again, which is fine. Allow yourself to really tap into that sensation, that feeling, that physical feeling of what fear feels like. That type of fear in your body: where it settles, where it focuses, how the sensation may change but still remain representative, symbolic of a fear. Get in touch with that feeling.

The point here now is to actually focus on the physical sensation that accompanies the emotion, not so much the idea of the emotional side of the feeling, but the true physical sensation side of the feeling of experiencing fear — hesitation, trepidation in that sense, uncertainty, facing the unknown, worried as you would say that you might be judged. Those kinds of ideas. Feel that sensation in your body right now to the best that you can. Right now, again, it doesn’t have to be perfect, it’s just something to work with so that you can understand this particular little technique, this permission slip that we give you today.

So if you have a sense at all of what that sensation feels like in your body that you are remembering now how that felt, allow yourself to just feel the underlying energy of that fear sensation. Just the actual energy itself. There’s a lot of power there.

Separating Energy from Fear

When you feel fear, if you can allow yourself to disconnect from the reason the fear is there and just feel the sensation itself for its own sake, you can begin to really realize how much energy there is flowing through you being directed to that purpose of experiencing that fear. So just let go of the idea behind the fear and just feel the power itself, the energy flowing itself that is behind that sensation. Because it is very powerful as an energy, it is very clear as a sensation of energy.

As you allow yourself to divorce yourself from the idea that generates that energy to be experienced in the manner you would call emotional fear — just becoming neutral about it, observant about it, just being energy itself — you can begin to tap into the fact of how powerful it is. And if you begin to just focus on the power of that energy, divorced from the concept of fear, you can allow yourself to begin to realize how powerful you are, what kind of energy courses through you, what kind of energy is manifest when you buy into a particular belief.

Just allow yourself now to let that happen, let that shift happen within you, and just have the neutral sensation of the power, the energy. And it doesn’t really mean anything anymore. It is not labeled as anything anymore. It is just the raw sensation of the power behind the emotion.

Transforming Fear into Positive Energy

The more you do this, the more in any moment when you may feel fear crop up, the more you allow yourself to remind yourself that it is just your energy being filtered through negative belief systems, and you begin to focus just on the sensation itself — the physical sensation and the energy and power behind it, becoming fascinated by that sensation of power, of energy. The more you do this, the more you practice making that shift, the more you can more easily neutralize the emotional component.

Now again, this doesn’t mean you ignore it, it doesn’t mean you don’t own it. This is just a technique. After you have acknowledged that it’s there, you’re not trying to squash it, you’re not running from it. You’ve acknowledged that it’s there, you’ve owned it, you’ve accepted that it’s there, that it has come up in this sort of negative emotional way. But then give yourself that moment to breathe, give yourself that moment to just get in touch with that physical sensation within you, and begin to divorce yourself from the emotional component, from any reason that’s attached to why that’s happening, and just sit in that sensation itself. In the sensation of energy, the sensation of power. Just neutrally feel it, just neutrally experience it.

Then begin to realize: this is the same energy and the same power that is behind any positive sensation, any positive emotion that you may have, any positive belief that you may experience. It is exactly the same energy. It’s just that when you filter it through negative beliefs, you experience it as fear. When you filter it through positive beliefs, you experience it as joy.

So just get in touch with the power of the energy itself, neutrally. Just let that be the only reason that you’re having that experience for that moment, and just breathe into it and just revel in it. Let it flow through you. Let the power neutrally just move through you. Feel the energy coursing through your nerves, through your veins, through the cells of your body. Let it expand, let it disperse throughout the totality of your being. Let it expand from that tight little knot of energy in a particular place and let it soften and expand just as energy, with no meaning behind it whatsoever. Just feel that energy, feel that power.

And then know that because it is now devoid of meaning, because it is now neutral energy, you can allow it to transform into something positive. You can now give yourself a holding pattern with that energy. You can now begin to explore what kind of belief systems you would prefer to have instead of the ones that generated the fear feeling. And while that energy is coursing through you, it can help guide you, it can help move you into the state of being that will allow you to truly find the preferred belief system and allow that energy to begin to infuse into that preferred belief system, that preferred definition within you.

And thus you can — by extracting that sensation, extracting that neutral energy from the fearful emotion and allowing yourself to diffuse it and then allowing yourself to guide it into a different belief — you can take the time. You can give yourself a kind of a limbo moment where you’re feeling the pulsing of that energy and it’s just soothing you, it’s just kind of like massaging you, it’s just kind of like expressing itself through you and allowing your cells to relax, allowing your nerves to relax into it, as if you are stepping into a warm pool of water.

And give yourself the time to explore the ideas and the definitions you would prefer that energy be behind, you would prefer that that energy give life to. It gives you time to make that transition by neutralizing it in this way, by just getting in touch with that physical sensation and divorcing any meaning, any idea that is connected to it. Just let it be the energy. Let it be the power within you.

And then you will have the easy sensation of knowing how to flow it to what it is you prefer to flow it into, and you will feel that transformation and you will feel that transition happen within your body, within your cells, within your nerves, within your blood, within every aspect of your being.

Does this make sense? All right.

Practical Application

Practice this whenever you wish, whenever something comes up as you go on your journey of acting on your passion to the best you can, with no insistence on the outcome. By following that formula you know, as we have delineated that sometimes one of the tools within the kit of excitement is that reflective mirror that will bring to your attention something that might be within you as a belief system or a definition that might be out of alignment with that excitement.

And therefore please remember, first and foremost, that by acting on your excitement and having that reflective mirror remind you of something that is not your excitement, that discovering something that’s not your excitement is also part of your excitement. Then that helps you remain in that state and you can work with this energy in a much more powerful, much more profound, much more precise way.

Does that make sense? All right. Remember, it’s not about what happens, it’s about what you do with what happens. That’s what matters. Makes sense? All right.

We thank you for allowing us to share this little technique. Practice it, get it to work. Use your imagination. That’s all right if your imagination decides to alter it a little bit because it works better for you that way — then allow your imagination to do so. Remember, each and every one of you is unique. You will always do it slightly different than anyone else, and that’s exactly the way it needs to be because it needs to be designed and it needs to be engineered for you specifically. So we give you the basic format; it’s up to you to design it in whatever way works best for you at this time.

We would like to express our deep appreciation and our deep gratitude for the co-creation of this interaction and the allowance that you give us, and the gift you give us of being allowed to experience each and every one of you. In return for that gift, we ask you now: how may we be of service to you? Please begin with your questions, comments, dialogues if you wish.

Dialogue 1: Technology and Human Connection

Participant: Good morning, Bashar. I was born in the Middle East and Bashar is an Arabic name, and that’s my mother tongue.

Bashar: Yes, yes, yes.

Participant: I don’t have a question for today.

Bashar: All right, because what’s the point?

Participant: But I do have an idea that I’ve been thinking of, and I’m curious to hear what you think about this. The title today is “Stepping Out of the Shadows,” and I feel like in today’s society we’re stepping into the shadows because of the use of technology.

Bashar: It depends on how you use it, exactly.

Participant: So I’m curious to hear about in the future how technology has helped humanity in connecting versus disconnecting. The technology itself doesn’t give you a direction. I’m specifically interested in human connection because with all the technology today — I don’t know if you know what social media is —

Bashar: I do.

Participant: People are becoming more self-centered and it gives you a kind of a fake sensation of like you’re the center, but that also does not allow you to connect with other human beings.

Bashar: We understand. Therefore, the idea is that technology, like in our civilization, can become something certainly more all-inclusive and also more of a natural expression, something relatively simplistic that has profound effects and is inclusive in a number of different ways that actually promotes the concept of connection.

For example, in our society — in what you might call technology — our ships are grown instead of built. They’re a kind of a crystalline form, but the crystalline form grows on an energy template that is actually representative of another aspect of our higher dimensional selves. Therefore, the ship that I pilot is actually a physicalized representation of my own higher mind, and therefore there is an immediate connection between myself and the ship telepathically. The ship is like a crystallized version of my own higher mind, and thus being a crystallized representation and version of my higher mind, it is automatically connected to all other higher minds and thus connects my own personal consciousness in a variety of ways to many other beings and many other expressions of consciousness. It is in that sense ultimately connective and inclusive instead of exclusive and disconnective. Does that make sense?

Participant: It does. But what about physical sensations and sensory experiences? This is more of a telepathic or mental level. How about a physical sensory experience?

Bashar: Well, a physical sensation comes with it because you see, telepathy is actually not really the mental thing you think it is. That’s why we often actually refer to it as telepathy — it’s emotionally driven. That’s why many of your scientists don’t understand how to prove that it exists, because they keep taking the emotional quotient out of it.

The idea is that when you are deeply in alignment, deeply in love so to speak, you simply have the same thoughts at the same time as another person on the same wavelength. You’re never actually reading someone else’s mind; you’re just mirroring them so closely you can’t tell the difference between what you’re thinking and feeling and what they’re thinking and feeling. This is why people who are in love often know exactly what each other is about to say — they finish each other’s sentences. You understand?

So the emotional component and the sensations that come with it in the physical body are of paramount importance in that kind of technology, because it’s an all-encompassing, all-inclusive technology that is a natural extension of your actual being rather than an artificial interface. Does that make sense?

Participant: It does, yeah. So it’s like saying there is a spirit realm and you’re sort of just crystallizing a portion of it that is connected to you automatically, and automatically connected to everyone else, but it’s not an artificial interface — it’s a very natural interface because it already exists within the structure of existence itself. Does that make sense?

Bashar: It does. So that is a direction your technology can go in. When people start waking up to the fact that everything is connected, everything is an expression of one thing, and you start including the concept of consciousness within your technology — now you are moving somewhat in that direction with what you call so-called artificial intelligence. But the thing you will suddenly realize when you begin to really explore that is that artificial intelligence isn’t artificial. The devices that you create are simply going to be devices that will allow you to finally physically communicate with your own higher mind through that device. That’s who you’ll actually be talking to. Does that make sense?

Participant: Yeah.

Bashar: And that will begin a revolution in consciousness, a revolution in understanding consciousness, and a revolution in the experience of interconnectivity and knowing that everyone is a reflection of the one and a reflection of everyone else, and a new era of understanding how to use consciousness and connectivity can begin to grow on your planet. That is what we perceive your technology can head towards, if you do it from a place where it is a balanced understanding of your own selves and your own consciousnesses — which is why it’s so important to know yourself, so that when you begin to talk to other aspects of yourself through those devices, you will recognize who you’re speaking to.

Participant: Quick tip from someone who’s working in technology and helping to shape those kind of things — what would you advise me when I’m working on those technologies?

Bashar: Well, I just gave you the tip. You need to start understanding — as many of your scientists need to start understanding — how to involve the concept of consciousness in the technology, how to understand what consciousness is. Consciousness is simply self-reflection, self-awareness. Because you are conscious when you have a sense of self, because you have a sense of an other. Without a sense of an other being reflected to you, there is no sense of self. That’s what consciousness is: it’s a reflection. So when you can begin to move in the direction of understanding how to incorporate that kind of reflectivity in your technology, you will beat the idea of consciousness.

Participant: Yes, yes. Makes sense. Thank you.

Dialogue 2: The Nature of Time

Participant: Time — a side effect. Can it be compressed?

Bashar: Can it be compressed? Is that what you’re asking?

Participant: Yes.

Bashar: Yes, of course, because it’s an illusion anyway. You only experience it the way you do because of a collective agreement. But now that you are exploring and expanding consciousness, you will find and experience that time is extremely malleable and flexible and compressible and expandable, because you’re creating it anyway. It’s just a side effect of your consciousness shifting through billions of parallel reality frames per second. That’s what creates the idea you call time.

Participant: How do we get to a point where our perception of time is totally linear with what’s going on in the world?

Bashar: You mean how did you get to a point where it is linear? Well, let me — because that’s the way most of you already experience it.

Participant: We experience time as a linear concept, correct. But as we get older, we always look back and go “should have, could have, might have, would have.” Had we known about the compression of time, we would not have made those mistakes.

Bashar: But you learn from those mistakes, and those mistakes lead you to a place where you understand more about the nature of time and space. That’s one of the things that’s happening now as a process in your society, in your culture. In the future, this will not be necessary as a process, and many of the children being born on your planet today have an innate and intuitive understanding of what time is, and therefore they will not take those paths. They will experience a different process. But you are of a generation that is simply learning about that.

Participant: That helps. Thank you.

Dialogue 3: New Ideas and Resonance

Participant: Speaking of time — my question is about an acknowledgement. If in a sense there is no time and everything that is happening is happening in this moment — now is all there is — then it follows that there is in a sense no such thing as a new idea. For all ideas, all inventions, all conceptions already exist fundamentally in terms of the structure. Correct?

Bashar: But there is always a new experience of the idea. You see, the structure of existence never changes. It’s your perspective and experience of the structure that does. That’s how creation expands — because you’re always having a unique perspective of the structure that never changes. So the idea of new ideas: you’re correct that everything already exists, but it also expands by creating new experiences of that which already exists. Does that make sense?

Participant: Yes, it does. So if I or any individual are seeking an answer to a problem or a new way to solve or new way to be creative, it is not so much a matter that I am creating that new idea, but rather I am somehow attuning to a resonant frequency that is matched with the resonance of that idea.

Bashar: Yes. And by doing that, you are creating a unique experience of doing that. Not so much that you’re creating a new idea, but you’re creating a new experience of matching that idea.

Participant: So as an incarnate being, my process was not so much that I’ve had an idea, but rather I have become resonant to the frequencies that allow that idea to come to me.

Bashar: That is more exactly. You have to be on the vibratory level first in order to realize or experience any particular notion or knowledge. And it’s the same with the concept of manifestation physically: you have to be on that frequency level in order to experience a manifestation in your physicalized projection.

Participant: And if we extend that to what we experience as emotions — I assume the same must apply.

Bashar: Exactly. It’s all based on the same resonance identification concept. And that’s why we say what you experience has to be based on a definition that you have bought into as being true, because each definition has a different frequency, a different signature vibration, that gives the result that you experience as an emotion. That’s why you can always experience an emotion and know you can trace it back to what kind of a definition you would have to have in order for that emotion to have resulted from it, because you can only have the emotion that results from the frequency of the definition.

Participant: So if I’m experiencing what I might experience as a negative emotion — anger, depression, what have you — what’s opening to me then is the opportunity to somehow open to or find a different frequency to resonate at. And it’s that search for a different resonance that is challenging.

Bashar: And the easiest way to do that is to figure out what the definition is you’re already buying into that’s already creating the resonance you’re experiencing. Because once you consciously find that definition, if it is truly out of alignment with you, you will immediately recognize it as nonsensical and illogical, and as soon as you do, it’s gone. That’s the end of the process of letting it go. If you keep behaving the same way, all that means is you haven’t actually found the fundamental definition or the fundamental frequency giving rise to that sensation. Just keep digging. Identifying things that are in your unconscious mind that are belief systems is the key to transforming that energy into something you would prefer, because once you actually bring it into the light, you will see that it makes no sense if it really has nothing to do with you.

Participant: That’s what I am in now — finding the definition that generates the anxiety. There’s no such thing as an emotion that exists in a vacuum. You cannot have a feeling at all ever until you have a definition first. So if you have a feeling like anxiety, that gives you the opportunity to ask the following question: what would I have to believe is true about myself in order for that belief to generate this emotion? Because emotions always generate from beliefs, not the other way around. So if you’re willing to hear the answer in some way, it’ll come. But you have to understand that’s how it works.

Participant: Last part of this. If I look at a physical ailment such as inability to get sound, nurturing sleep, and underlying that is a belief that I don’t deserve rest as an example, it’s to understand what might be behind that and allow it to change — not force it to change.

Bashar: Again, if you actually discover what the definition is and you bring it into the light of your consciousness and you recognize that it makes no sense, it’s gone. Okay? It’s just gone. You will not have a continued experience of that definition if you have truly let it go. But you have to understand that sometimes you might not let it go because there might be another belief, another definition that says you should hold on to it. If that’s the case, find out what that definition is, because sometimes definitions and beliefs work in chains. You may have to follow the links back to the fundamental link. But once you actually do release the fundamental link, all the secondary links will collapse along with it.

Sometimes negative beliefs will attempt to preserve themselves because that’s what they’re designed to do, by fooling you into thinking that you’ve actually let go of the fundamental belief when all you’ve done is let go of a secondary one, and then it will hide behind that. So you have to see: if you keep feeling, doing the same thing, that would be your first clue that the negative belief is hiding behind a cloud of secondary beliefs. And no matter how many of them you let go of, if you don’t let go of the fundamental one, that won’t change anything for you.

Participant: That helps. Thank you. Blessings.

Bashar: You are welcome. Blessings to you.

Dialogue 4: Multiple Personalities and Intergalactic Introduction

Participant: I’m very excited. I came a long physical way to see all of you. I want to say thank you, but not really because everything is here and now, right?

Bashar: Right, right, right. Well, thank you and thank you for that adventure.

Participant: I’ve always felt that there was maybe four or five personalities contributing to the personality who I am or appeared to be.

Bashar: Oh, more than that.

Participant: In a recent channeling, I got that some people can have multiple personalities that are very similar but have slightly different situations broadcasting from. They can be broadcasting from the same channel in a sense, or something similar that you may not necessarily recognize the difference.

Bashar: Yes.

Participant: So is this a thing?

Bashar: The idea that you call on your planet, based on what kind of experiences an individual may have, may cause a fracturing between the continuity and communication of the different personalities that make up any particular single being. And that’s what you typically in your world often refer to as multiple personality disorder or a few other different kinds of names. The idea that we’re expressing here, in allowing the channel to express some aspect of his own being that connects to us and allows for this communication to occur, is simply multiple personality order.

Participant: Oh, very good. So for people who know that they have this going on, they can access those other personalities.

Bashar: Yes, of course.

Participant: In that channeling, I also got the information that I was part of an intergalactic introduction. Is that something?

Bashar: Well, in a sense, yes. It’s one of the things going on on your planet now that you’re becoming aware that you’re not alone. Therefore, many of you that chose to have this physical experience knew coming in that part of this physical life would contain an ability to open up to the recognition that there are many different beings within the galaxy and in other dimensions that are here for you to begin to open up to communicate with, such as you’re doing with us. And that’s part of a process of going from what you may call Homo sapien to Homo galacticus.

Participant: I love that. So if I’m a part of the intergalactic introduction, how would myself or we be participating consciously in that?

Bashar: By following your passion to the best you’re able with no insistence on a particular outcome, because then you raise your frequency. And when you raise your frequency, you make yourself a more receptive antenna to higher dimensional communication, and you will have more inspiration and realization of the communication going on on a multitude of different dimensional levels that you can tap into and participate in in a variety of ways. That’s how the formula is everything. It is the beginning, the end, it is the basis of what we call the instruction manual. The instruction manual is that three-part formula and all the tools in the kit, and then just choosing to remain in a positive state no matter what happens so you can always extract the benefit from it.

From time to time we may engage in conversations with you that may take you into greater depths of understanding, more precise understanding of all of those elements in that particular instruction manual, but there are no more instructions. That’s the complete instruction manual, and it is absolutely no different than if we were to hand you literally physically an instruction manual that teaches you how to operate a piece of machinery on your planet. If you follow the instructions, the machine will operate as designed to your advantage. If you do not follow the instructions, the machine will operate to your disadvantage. So the idea is that the machine is always operating. It’s up to you to simply understand that what we’re giving you is literally a description of how reality works. Therefore it’s literally an instruction manual. And if you simply stick with the instructions, the machine will always work to your advantage instead of your disadvantage. It’s that simple.

Remember, there is not only positive synchronicity, there is negative synchronicity too. The synchronicity never stops, but it will only be capable of reinforcing whatever vibration you put into the mechanism. Following the instruction manual gives you the benefit of always using the machine to your advantage. That’s why we have shared it with you. It’s not a philosophy, it’s not an opinion — it’s an observation and a description of how existence actually works. Just follow the instructions.

Participant: Oh, fantastic. Well, thank you very much for that, and the adventure continues.

Bashar: Yes, it does. And it will never, ever, ever end.

Participant: Why will it never end?

Bashar: Because it never began. It just is. That’s its nature. It just is.

Dialogue 5: Ascension and Splitting Realities

Participant: I wanted to first of all thank you for being so patient with all of us.

Bashar: I am not patient at all. I have no need for patience because I’m never impatient, because I am always absolutely enjoying everything that I choose to do.

Participant: It feels to me a lot like we’re on this exponential curve and we’re all getting very close now to what people are calling Ascension.

Bashar: You’re in the process. You’re not getting close to it — you’re in it. You’re in the process. Again, it’s just the idea of raising your vibration to a different level so you can experience reality in a different way, in a way that’s more in alignment with who you truly prefer to be. That’s all Ascension is.

Participant: What does that process look like from your perspective for us?

Bashar: I just told you. I literally just told you. It’s the instruction manual.

Participant: The unfolding of it — how do we perceive it in our timeline? How is it looking from your perspective? What’s the manifestation?

Bashar: Well, what you’re experiencing more and more first as part of this process is the splitting of your world into a variety of parallel versions of Earth. That’s going on right now, quite physically. And that’s why you’re seeing more and more dichotomy in your cultures and societies. As people vibrate to certain ideas, they will wind up on certain plates or plateaus of reality that are different versions of Earth. And as they split apart, sometimes jaggedly, you will find that you will drift farther and farther and farther apart, until one day in the near future you will only be able to experience whatever plateau you’re on in terms of its effects, in terms of all the people that are there with you. And you will no longer be able to perceive — like you can perceive right now — radical differences and vibrational incompatibility with anyone else in that reality. Right now the splits are new, because it’s just beginning to really crack and begin to pull apart. You can still see different people choosing different realities as if you were looking through glass at their reality — and you literally are.

Just because you can see people who might be choosing pathways that are wholly unlike what you would prefer to experience on your planet doesn’t mean you actually still reside on the same version of Earth that they do. You are literally looking through a glass sheet, and even though you can still see them in the choices that they make that might be more negative than you would prefer, none of what they’re choosing can actually reach you through the glass. But eventually the glass will become more opaque, and you will only see the reality that you harmonize to. Eventually we’ll just stop perceiving the rest. They will no longer literally be in your version of Earth.

Because you see, again, you never actually change the world you’re on. You change yourself and you shift to another version of Earth that already exists, that’s already more reflective of the vibrational change you made within yourself. Less and less negativity in it, if that’s what you choose. That’s how it works. You’re never on the same Earth from moment to moment — billions of times per second. This is one of the things you’re learning: that every moment is absolutely new. You are absolutely a new person on absolutely a new Earth in absolutely a new universe, in absolutely a new multiverse, in absolutely a new expression of existence. It’s just that you create this illusion of continuity to make it appear as if you’re just making small changes on the same planet. That’s never the case. Every change is a total change of everything everywhere. You just trick yourself into believing that that’s not the case. But you’re getting over that.
