Bashar on 2012

The following are my notes from a Bashar channelling about 2012, from a Youtube video.

It feels timely as a reminder to stay positive no matter what challenges are happening globally.

How Do You Want To Experience 2012? ...It's Up To You!

One thing we have already told many of you is that the threshold that you call 2012 is simply the leading edge of the collective consciousness crossing critical mass threshold. The idea being that on the other side of that particular moment in time there will be more positive momentum on the planet than negative. What you do with that is still up to you. But it will be available to you because the collective consciousness on the planet, like the leading edge of a wave, will be such that you can dip into that more easily, more effortlessly.

We have also mentioned that, for a long time, many thousands of your years, with respect to your relationship to extraterrestrial societies such as our own, your planet has been in a type of hands-off quarantine where we cannot, are not allowed to interfere in any way, shape or form with your development. After 2012 the quarantine is up.

We will no longer be held back by the quarantine, we will only be taking our cue from that point forward from the actions you all take and the kind of reality you all choose to create.

And so, the way in which you experience this transition again is really up to you. Please remember, there are an infinite number of parallel realities all going on simultaneously. It's not in a sense that you actually change the world you are in, it's that you change your frequency to be like that of the world you prefer to experience, and then experience that parallel earth that already exists on that level. It may look as if everything around you has changed, but in fact it is you that have changed, and in a sense have shifted yourself to a world in which there already exists the versions of the other people that are germane to that world. That are on the same frequency of that world. Those that are not on that frequency will no longer appear in your reality. They will simply vanish from your life one way or another.

As time goes on, even though right now you are still in a collective agreement that allows you to experience many people who have belief systems that are very different from your own, maybe even incompatible with the frequency that you prefer. In time this will no longer be possible. The idea will be that those people will simply phase out of your reality, they will remain in the reality in which their frequency is appropriate. And you will have vanished from their reality. They are on another earth, having their own experience based on the frequency they most believed would occur.

So when you go through these transitions, when you look at the idea of change on your planet, remember..........many of the things that are prophesied are statements that were made at the time, of the energy that existed at the time the prophesy was made. Because there really is no such thing as a prediction of the future. A prediction is a sensing of the energy that exists at the time the prediction is made.

If that changes, the prediction is obsolete. If it doesn't, it comes true, as you say. But it's up to you. Many times hearing the prediction is what causes it to change. Because now you can do something about it. The person making the prediction is saying "look, this is where our energy is. Do we want it to stay here or do we want to change it? Do we want to experience the transition this way? Or of this way?"

Up to you.

Now you decide how you want to experience this transformation. What kind of relationship do you want to have with each other, and with your world, and with the spirit, and with All That Is? How do you want to experience this reality? Who do you want to be? And that is what determines what you will experience. And you can even, for a time, be standing right next to someone who chooses to experience the transformation in a very scary, destructive, fearful way, and you can be standing right next to them and not experience anything they are experiencing at all.

Ego Negotiation 101 by Bashar

Thought it was time for another video and I was impressed by the clarity of the following Bashar video that I listened to today. One of the most common topics I've seen on spiritual forums is the desire to follow one's passion or joy but feeling limited because of the need to earn a salary or having the fear to quit one's job. This is just one example of how we limit our expansion and joy, but it can apply to any area of life. There are many aspects to our Beingness and some of the conflicts that arise within us are due to the human self and the divine self, or the ego and the higher mind. The process of ascension involves the melding of our divinity and our human selves, so that we can be the divine human angels that we are, manifesting the life of our dreams whilst still on the earth plane. One of the polarities that tends to trip us up or sabotage us on this earthly journey is the ego (mind) versus the higher self (or higher mind).

I have loosely transcribed some (not all) of the following two Bashar videos, which gives some insight into how we can consciously allow all parts of our beingness to work in harmony with our desires and dreams. Our beliefs create our reality, and so if we wish to create a more joyful, abundant or harmonious reality, it is a good place to start by changing our belief structures, so that they can support the more expanded reality we wish to create and maintain.

Q. Ego can be helpful or destructive in allowing you to follow your excitement.

As an example, someone wishing to follow a new endeavour, quit their job and follow their passion in that way. But they have a lot of anxiety about the financial consequences of that.

How does it happen that the person can balance out the energy between the higher mind and the physical mind in order to have everybody able to do their job appropriately?

A. You must honor the belief system that is there to whatever capacity you feel is necessary to do so. In other words you give honor to the belief system that the ego has created and recognise that from the ego’s perspective (physical mind) it is valid. Therefore, you don't abandon it, you work with it.

In a sense, make a deal. “Ego I will work with say 90% of that belief system, but just give me about 10% to play around with, and I will show you that that 10% can actually work. Strike a deal with the ego to give you some latitude to move beyond. As you keep making those deals and doing it bit by bit you will train the ego to understand that as you ask for more and more latitude the ego will feel more supported and it will allow you more

and more latitude until such time that one day you will look around and realise that all the old belief systems are already gone, and that you allow yourself complete support with the new belief systems in whatever way actually supports you.

The second thing is while you are doing that and making those kinds of deals is to embark on an expedition of redefining the ideas you are using - for example “the only way you can be supported in life, where you can do the things you desire to do is with one particular format or representation of abundance".

Remember, our definition of abundance is ‘the ability to do whatever you need to do whenever you need to do it.’ Period.

Now if on your planet money is one of those things all well and good, but the idea is it’s simply required that you have the ability to do what you need to do when you need to do it, and if money isn’t necessarily the way in which it’s best to do that thing, then your higher mind will actually bring you that thing that will allow you to do that with less effort. Sometimes if you insist that money is the only way that something can be accomplished, again that might simply be setting up an obstacle to bang your head against, when in fact your higher mind can bring it to you in a more easy way if you would only relax your definitions about what you think you need.

Q. So if the ego is frightened in that scenario, will it try to sabotage the person ?

A. Of course, that’s why you need to strike a deal. You need to find a negotiation that works, because the only time that the negative ego will sabotage you is if it feels it has not gotten a fair listen, a fair deal, if it feels you are avoiding it, attempting to go around it, circumvent it.

Q. Sounds like a business deal.

A. It IS a business deal, because the physical ego is all about physical business, the physical world. Therefore, one good way is to use it’s own language. Allow it to understand that you are willing to negotiate fairly. So if you negotiate a fair deal from the ego’s point of view and it allows you some latitude in that negotiation, then there is no reason why it would need to sabotage you.

It’s all about definitions, understanding them, and working with them.

Q. So which part is making the deal with the ego?

A. Good question. Because that’s where the cleverness comes in.

The one that is actually negotiating with the ego is the higher mind.

You have already brought the higher mind to the table by negotiating a fair deal, because higher mind is all about balance and fairness.

But you are using the physical mind’s language to get the idea across.

You are working out a deal for the whole being, for both polarities.

You have to give the physical personality the first ‘win’ in the negotiation. By recognising its belief systems are valid - it is only trying to protect you after all. It’s protecting itself but it is protecting you, because it thinks itself IS you. So no matter how detrimental it may seem, it is doing it out of love. Making the statement in the opening negotiation that you recognise it is doing it out of love is the way to begin the negotiation. Let it win the first point because the ego is all about winning. In a win/win it will start to relent and grant you some leeway.

Use your imagination to make that negotiation work in whatever way it works best, but what is important is full disclosure so that the ego doesn’t feel it is being tricked. And when the ego doesn’t feel that IT is being tricked, the ego will have no reason to trick and sabotage you.

All the lessons of what you call win/win business negotiation are applicable to negotiating with the ego structure.

If you propose a less aggressive agenda to the ego it will not feel threatened and survival issues will not arise. You may have proposed too much for the ego to handle. When you understand the ego’s motivations you can then deal with them in the negotiations. You cannot just bargain and run, and not understand where the other side is coming from, otherwise they will just pull the plug.

You need to relax and not be so eager to get where you think you need to go. You need to be nowhere more important than right here right now.

Give Ego a Break

The ego's job is to focus you in physical reality. It reinforces the beliefs that are part of your consciousness personality template, so that beliefs can be experienced as fully as possible. That is why every single belief is self-reinforcing, because the ego's job is to add energy and focus to that belief to make it seem as if no other belief is possible in order for you to have the physical manifestation of that belief.

But when there is a degree of forgetting, that exists to the extent that it has in your reality, very often because of that sense of disconnection (not that you are ever really disconnected, for that cannot be) you can create the experience of disconnection to such a degree that the ego/personality structure can forget that it is not actually the one in charge. It can forget that it has a helpmate in the template reality called the higher mind, can forget that it is not doing this alone, and in suddenly finding itself in the experience of being alone it starts to build up the idea of fear.

It starts to reinforce belief systems in a way that perpetuates its existence beyond the necessary level that it is actually required to generate for its continued existence. It starts to think that if IT is all there is, then it is in charge of everything, the burden and the weight of the world is on its shoulders. It starts to take on that job when it is not built for that job. It starts to burden itself, stress itself, and in that way it starts to break down. It starts to do wildly incongruous, wildly irrational things to strengthen itself, under the feeling that it is crumbling under the weight. And by reinforcing itself it can become extremely dense, extremely crystalized, and very difficult then to expand back out in its more relaxed state, its more relaxed focus.

When it gets that concentrated, the amount of energy the ego puts into belief systems, which are generally fear based, are almost always going to be overwhelming. It is going to choose those things based on survival mode. Let's all give the poor little ego a break, before the ego breaks down. Even in that murky darkness you were still capable of sensing somewhere there must be some kind of higher vibration that calls to you, that tugs at you, that pulls at your heart, that allows you to feel, to know there is some level of reality wherein ego is free, the personality is free to be what it was designed originally to be, and that there is no need for the stress and strife and struggle and dire consequences, and dire experiences that the ego has for thousands of years on your planet sought to perpetuate in generation after generation after generation.

Now is the timing where the light is bright enough, for enough of you are seeking that light within yourselves , that you are adding that to the collective reality and giving each other better opportunities and collective momentum to know there is a level of reality, a level of your whole being, that is more than capable of reconnecting with you, that you deserve to reconnect with and deserve to lighten your load , drop the baggage and get on your way through life in an easy and effortless creative manner.
And this is the time and age on your planet now realising that, so congratulations!

I've typed out (above) the essence of what was said on this video (not word perfect) for those on dial-up internet, who may have problems watching videos. From my current understanding and experience, the main challenge and 'work' we need to be doing right now is to not rely on the lower mind/intellect/ego in interpreting or guiding our reality, especially as we are leaving that particular power centre behind and tapping into more of who we really are, which includes trust in our non-physical guidance (rather than merely logic or reason). I have eliminated most fears from my life these days and find that staying heart-centred with a trust in ALL of who I am (plus staying in the Now moment) is key to navigating these times ahead.

The subtitle of this blog 'explorations beyond the mind' is there for a reason (excuse the pun!). The following extract from a Saint Germain channel (Farewell to Power) by Geoffrey Hoppe says a bit more about the mind as power centre needing to go:

One that many of you still struggle with today, but will get through it, is the power center in your mind. You lost the sexual power, the financial power, so you put everything right up here. “At least I still have my sense, my mind. At least I can still be rational.” And that is going too. (some laughter)

You see, the mind has been a very tricky, a very stubborn power center. You have placed all of your power, your value for yourself, everything that you think you can create and think you can be, right here. And we have seen that that too is going away, because power is an illusion.

Power is old vibration energy. Power – anything to do with power – consists of having to have opposing energies. We’ve gone through this before – the positive/negative, masculine/feminine, light/dark – any of these. But you have focused this power center in the mind, and it’s perhaps the last true power center that you have, and that’s going. And when it is gone, you will open up yourself to an inner and outer universe of who you really are. When that illusion of this last remnant of power is gone, you’ll understand the mind was a limitation. There is so much more to you.

2012, Hypnosis and Conspiracies

Thought I would write a post about my own views on 2012 and conspiracies, if only to get it over with so that I have at least addressed these topics, which tend to become offshoots or major branches on blogs about ascension, spirituality, metaphysics or the new age. It is already starting to feel slightly irritating hearing or reading constant speculation about 2012, along with the predictions about an impending E.T or UFO disclosure to the world by one of the governments. Then recently of course we had the blue spiral in the sky above Norway, which caused a stir along with various interpretations. I can't help thinking that these are all distractions, just like TV, 2012 and staged world events, while all the big stuff like ascension is going on unnoticed by the masses.


The parting of the worlds started in September 2009, and the dimensional separation will only become wider as time progresses, so by 2012 it will be too late to worry about what will happen in 2012 anyway. What will happen will depend on which Earth you are residing on. As for the NWO and negative elite, I feel their time has come and that they will not be able to continue on the new earth anyway, as they are operating from too low a frequency. The dimensional shift or transition to a new earth and new consciousness, is actually in the process of happening now. We are in the thick of it and the energies are accelerating and getting higher. These energies are coming on to the planet as well as being anchored here by those humans on Earth who are able to act like a conduit for the energies. Our DNA is also being activated and our physical bodies will start to change over time. It does not depend so much on astrology but by our own abilities to evolve and expand into higher consciousness, to meld our human self with our divine self, our light with our dark, and so on. It is a personal journey that affects every living being on Earth right now.

This transition stage will cause some chaos for a while, but it is possible to be in the eye of the storm and not be blown about or affected by what is going on, regardless of what is happening to anyone else on the planet.
In the early days of my ascension process I was very fascinated with all the different conspiracies being discussed on the internet. I read all of David Icke's books, I researched in some very dark places on the web, and I wanted everyone to know about what was really going on. I was particularly interested in Planet X and started reading all the Sitchin books. DNA was another hot topic and how that had been re-arranged in humans in the ancient past from a 12-stranded to a 2-stranded helix, by extra-terrestrial geneticists who were viewed as gods by the inhabitants of Earth. I also transcribed Pleiadian channeled cassette tapes on 9/11 to send out to people I knew because I wanted the whole world to wake up beyond the official stories we were told about everything by the media. I see now that this is probably a necessary phase one goes through after ones own awakening, and there is nothing like a bit of darkness or fear or paradigm breaking revelations to break others out of their 3D slumber and hopefully launch them on their own ascension path (or not, as not everyone chooses spirituality or a higher consciousness path in response). Most people just stayed asleep though and carried on buying their newspapers.

After integrating the dark or hidden side of Earth's history and current manipulations, it was time to move on.
The trouble with conspiracies, is that they not only keep you on a very low frequency level, but you also end up giving your own energies and power away to them by feeding them with your constant attention. It seemed a shame to waste an article I wrote for a film magazine, which I never submitted in the end, about the Illuminati and Stanley Kubrick's film Eye Wide Shut, yet it all gave me something to get my imagination into for a while. Somehow it doesn't remain satisfying for long to get too bogged down with all these stories, especially as many of them felt disempowering, placing me and others in a possible victim mentality (having my 'reality' influenced by outside forces) when I could be creating something new and writing my own life script. Now I couldn't care less what anyone else believes about anything, and being the creator that I am I prefer to create new consciousness, new energy, and the kind of new earth I prefer to live in. Nobody is at the mercy of a negative elite or a New World Order or a pandemic or a potential war, because by raising your consciousness (dimension) higher than where those events are capable of vibrating, you can ascend right out of any lower vibrating negative scenario.

I also do not feel I shall be living in the kind of world that will be dominated by those who are refusing to ascend and evolve beyond duality and the third dimension. So now it is irrelevant to me what Mr. Icke says (although he is doing a good job waking others up!) with his WW3 predictions for this year. It could be true for some, and it could be true for those who need to play in 3D fear and limitation for a while longer, but it isn't true for everyone because we don't have just one Earth - that is so 3D thinking. :-) Earth is ascending to the 5th dimension, along with those inhabitants who are doing the inner work to evolve and ascend along with the planet. When you change yourself, you change the kind of world you live in. You can't change the world anyone else lives in because you can't do the inner work for them. Which is why it is not appropriate to go out and try to 'save' the world or fix it. It is a mirror reflection of the inner world, and whatever is playing out on the world's stage is just a consensus 'reality' of the majority, an indicator of where mass consciousness is currently focused or vibrating their energies. What is not integrated within also gets projected out.

Ascension work can feel exhausting at times because it feels like swimming against the tide of mass consciousness. It requires maintaining that unwavering focus and trust in ones own guidance, overcoming lifetimes of habitual thought, beliefs and society's hypnotic overlays, releasing everything that no longer serves in the higher dimensions including previous identities, jobs, situations, friends, lifestyles and anything else that is not growing and evolving with you, but sucks you back down into the 3D dramas and lower frequencies. Once beyond a certain point on the ascension journey it gets so much easier.

Although 2009 started with the most free and lighthearted energy I'd ever experienced, it turned into a really challenging year only because of having waited an extra two years for more people to get on board the ascension train before we could finally all move on with our individual own ascension process. So the timing of anything is often collectively decided or revised as we go along, and we are actually ahead of time despite the delays. It is all happening now. The energy cord to the old world has now been severed, and although the rest of me can't wait to race ahead to make up for those 2 years, my body is drained and some recuperation time is necessary. I currently feel a bit like Robinson Crusoe washed up on the shore after the shipwreck - exhausted, on new dry land at least, and unsure how many are inhabiting this island.

My personal take on the significance of 2012 is that it depends on which Earth you will be living on by then. And by that time it may be a little late to change the Earth you are experiencing if you don't like where you are currently residing, because the chasm is continuously getting wider. No lightworkers or ascension wayshowers are wanting to remain tethered to the old earth, although some may be focusing their work at the dimensional border. The year 2012 represents the end of a long galactic cycle according to the Mayan calendar, and I am aware of various probable realities that could play out. But when talking about probabilities or predictions it is also influenced by many other factors such as personal choice, synchronicities, timelines and dimensions, so that nothing is really laid out or set in stone in terms of a single destiny for everyone. I do feel that the Earth will no longer be in quarantine so that we will have the opportunity to meet our galactic neighbours in 2012, although this choice will not be imposed on us and will only happen when humanity feels ready.

Bashar, channeled in the following video, gives some explanation about parallel Earths. He states that the only thing that is real is experience. There is no 'out there' - that is the illusion. It is all here, it is all now.

Video - Circumstances Don't Matter

Bashar channelled by Darryl Ankar.

Play with everything that happens in your reality. Allow it to be that much more flexible and creative.

Change is the only constant.

The physical mind will assume that something has failed (what you put out is what you get back) if the first manifestation or situation is usually looking the same as it used to. Gives you the opportunity to respond to the circumstances that look the same, differently than before.

The first reflection will usually be an echo - you must not respond to the echo, but the new response will solidify the vibration of your preferred state of being.

If you respond to the echo in the same way as before then YOU are not different. It's like you are testing yourself to see if you respond to the same circumstances differently.

So don't be fooled by the echo by labelling it in the same way you used to, or assume that you have done something wrong.

All belief systems are self-reinforcing. When you change your vibrational state, you define it and label it differently. Use that mechanism to your advantage.

Circumstances do not determine state of being, state of being determines circumstances.

Circumstances don't matter, only state of being matters (materialises experience).

And then choose the state of being you prefer.

And then redefine the circumstances from that state of being, so that you can erase the echo.

And allow the true reflection to then take form from your state of being.
