BASHAR: Channeled by Darryl Anka ATLANTIS JAN 1997 Bashar: Now approximately 25,000 of your years ago, in what you term to be Atlantis, or in their dialect Atalundi, you will have found that the idea of separation of the self from the 'creatorhood' began in earnest, though it had appeared upon your planet before that. You will find, now, there was the choice within the mass consciousness of that era to determine for themselves that they were, in this way, not needing the integration of the self to the All That Is, but that they could exercise their power directly in such a manner as to separate themselves from the totality of All That Is, so that they could recognize themselves in a more, I'll say, personalized way as being the creator. This stemmed from the projection of spirit into material form. As it continued, as spirit continued to project into material form, in and of itself, was the definition of separation, limitation to a certain degree. Thus, the more spirit experienced the idea of material form or physical reality, slowly, in a sense, but as you say surely, became used to the energy patterns. They began to sense ideas, feelings, emotionality, thoughts, beliefs that they had heretofore not encountered within non-physicality. They began to create the idea of fascination with the limitation, and in so doing, allowed themselves to become enmeshed, locked in, so that they could experience all that there was to experience in that mode as well as every other mode that had been experienced within All That Is of non-physicality. Thus, they became use to, or as you say, created the habit of expressing themselves in material ways, again, through emotionality, and thought, and belief, rather than knowingness. http://www.bashartapes.com
