*Communication and Expectations* Q: Hi. I would just like to share that I had my first meeting for the Sirius project last Sunday, and I was very happy with the response. And I would like to particularly thank Pamela for being one of the people who came; however, I still need - not need - I still would like to have more participants. So if anyone's interested in becoming involved in a performance about spiritual evolvement, I would appreciate if they would come and give me their phone number and talk to me about it. So that's one part of it. Another thing is that I have a really wonderful roommate, and I like him very much. He listens to your tapes a little bit - just by accident, I guess. B: Accident? (AUD: laughter). Q: Accident... (Laughing) no. He comes right into the room and listens to it. So he, at this time, doesn't believe that you're an extraterrestrial. B: So what? Q: Yeah. He calls you, "Bashar, the punk philosopher," B: All right. (AUD: laughter) I will joyfully accept that name. Q: The other night, while I was sleeping, I woke up because he was talking in his sleep. What was coming through his mouth woke me up. At the instant that I woke up, I recognized he wasn't speaking English. It seemed as though he was channeling some kind of extraterrestrial himself, because what was being said... B: Plus portions of himself. Q: Right. Okay. It seemed like when Lisa had been talking about whatever had come out of some other planet or something; so I was just wondering if that was some kind of message for me, or if that was a message for him, or...? B: Everything that you experience with anyone else has significance for you because you have co-created it, and because you experience it. It obviously has some validity on some level of your consciousness, or you never would have been there. You only, only, only experience in your reality what is the product of your belief system about what you think you would share. Only. Q: Okay. So what he was saying... although when I told him the next day, he said: "Oh, I always talk in my sleep." Since then I have heard him talk in his sleep a lot, but it has never been anything like what was coming through at that moment. B: Then simply take the vibration for what it has meant to you. Let him take it for what it has meant to him, and get on with your lives. Q: Okay. So there was no particular message or anything? B: There is always a particular message. But in this way, the idea simply is to show you that you are co-creating your own symbols. You are, let us say, jockeying for a commonality of communication. You are attempting to seek out common ground upon which to communicate with each other. Follow me? Q: Okay. So this was another part of him - a part that he doesn't acknowledge. Is that correct? B: In a sense, in a sense he does - for there is, let me say, a (unintelligible word) that is somewhat conscious, somewhat subconscious; but it is there. Q: Thanks. Do you happen to know or can you comment on the particular language, or whatever it was, that was coming through? Was it...? B: Understand, it is an emotional language. It is not what you would understand as a physiological language. It is simply the vibration that feels right, according to what is being felt about what is being communicated. You follow me? Q: Well, not really, because I woke up and I realized I had heard that sound somewhere before, and... B: All right. Q: ... and where I thought I had heard it was here, when Lisa was talking about some kind of message that was being given to her. B: All right. Q: That particular language... B: What did the idea make you feel like when you heard it? Q: It made me feel like someone was trying to communicate with me. B: All right. Anything else? Q: And I didn't understand what was being said. B: That is not what I asked you. How did you feel? Q: I was excited! B: All right! Then understand that what I am calling an emotional language comes in whole concepts, not in the type of alphabet you are familiar with. You do not get a letter or a word at a time. You get entire feelings, entire emotions, and entire concepts. The idea of communication - the idea of excitation - is, of itself, a message. You do not think it valid because your analytical mind must render it down into something that your analytical mind can make sense of; but the feeling is what emotional language is for, not for your mind. Follow me? Q: Right. B: There is always a particular message. The idea is to simply show you that you got the message where you needed to. It was not for your ears. It was for your heart. Q: Okay. Thank you very much. B: Thank you. Yes? Q2: Hi. This is Dawn. I guess this is kind of like a test, to find out where you're really at, but... B: A test? Q: Whatever. I would like for you to tell me... I don't know how to put it without you putting it more true than what it is, so I'm just going to say it. B: More true than what it is. Q: You know, the way you kind of clarify for me what I'm trying to say. What damage was done to my body during the accident? What bones were broken, if there were any? B: Why are you concerned about that? Q: Well, because if you're right, then I can ask you a further question. B: What has that got to do with anything? Q: Because... B: I will never be right or wrong. Q: Fine. You know what I'm saying. B: Yes, but you don't. Q: Oh, yes I do! (AUD: laughter) Just please answer my question. B: I cannot answer it in the way you expect me to. Q: Then don't look at me expecting you to answer a question in a certain way. Just get what I'm saying. I'm not expecting anything from you. B: What are you expecting from yourself? Q: Hey, let's not play games here. Don't reverse the question back on me. B: The question is always... Q: I want certainty that if I ask you the condition of my body right now, you are coming from a point of knowing what occurred then; and I will have the certainty of knowing you are right by what you tell me. B: But you are creating that idea. Q: Oh fine, fine. B: You do not understand the idea of mental communication. You are expecting that it is one thing, and it is not. You are measuring the idea of that ability to communicate with you by one specific parameter, and you are not understanding how it works. Q: Okay. So, then do it right and I won't have to understand. Just because my words come across the way they come across, which leads you to believe that I understand, or don't understand, or however you want to put it, may not necessarily be what I'm asking, what I'm saying. B: Then ask what you are asking. Q: I want you to tell me what damage took place at the point of the accident. B: Do you not know? Q: Yes, but... B: Then why should I have to know? It is not something that excites me in that way. Q: I'm not saying that you have to know. B: Yes, you are. Q: No, I'm not. I already told you that if you can tell me what the damage was... B: Yes. Q: ...then I will know, in present time, with my next question, of what is there. I will know that you are looking at what really is - for my consolation, not yours. B: Understand this: you are telling me that in order to continue the communication in the way you want to, there is something that I do, in fact, have to know that you already know. Otherwise you will not continue the conversation. Q: No. It's not that you have to know. It's that I have to know that you know this. B: But you already... I cannot prove that to you. (AUD: laughter) Q: Why not? B: Because that is not the way it works, child. Q: Well, then, do it the way it works. B: I am doing it the way it works, child. (AUD: laughter) Q: I know that there have been people that stood in front of me, and that I could see by what was going on with them what was physically wrong with them. B: Yes. Q: So if I could, that... B: Yes, but did they challenge you to know? Or did you just know? Q: Okay. It came off as a challenge, jokingly. I wasn't serious. I'm not challenging you. What you know is what you know, and what I know is what I know. B: Yes. And the point is, if you already have the knowledge, then simply act on that idea, and I will discuss the entire idea with you; but the idea... Q: Yeah, but that comes up against my own certainty as to whether... okay. What's the matter with my body right now? B: First of all, it's very tense. (AUD: laughter) It is very tense. That is what is the matter. Q: Okay, and why is it tense? B: Because you are creating that idea of needing self-validation, and you are seeking outside yourself for it. I cannot prove anything to you. Q: I'm not asking you to. B: Yes, you are. That is the point. You do not think you are, but you are. Q: Okay. I don't think that... I am not; but okay. Then... B: Now, if I were to say to you: "All right, you broke the lower leg bone," and in your estimation that was, so to speak, wrong, then you would simply have created that too, for yourself; because that is what you wished to find. You designed the experiment, and you got the result that you designed the experiment for. Q: You're sitting there telling me that I'm designing a wrong experiment. You're wrong. B: There is no right and wrong. Q: Good. Then don't use the word. I'm... I want... B: You used it. Q: The process that I want to take place, I know can take place! B: Yes it can, but not... Q: Good. Then let's let it take place! B: ... when you don't need it to, only when you don't expect it to. That is what I am saying about your lack of understanding of the process. When individuals can read each other, it is because there is an emotional bond of love. When you say to that individual: "I need you to tell me what happened in my life before I will trust the conversation with you," then in a certain way you are shutting the information off from them, by making it a test, because you are not acting in love. You are not communicating with their very soul, and not allowing them to communicate with your soul so they can know you. Q: Okay. Well, then, let's push all that aside. B: Let's. (AUD: laughter) Now, address what it is that is actually on your mind, and perhaps the information you had asked me first may come out enough so that I can pick it up. Q: Okay. B: If that is even important by that time... Q: Well it is. B: ... which it is not, since you already know the answer. (AUD: laughter) The point is simply, what you call psychic knowing, in that way, works from the vibration of love and trust. And the trust has to be there first, before the effect of the knowingness happens. It is not the other way around. Q: Well, I don't know how to... B: I am telling you how. Simply get involved in the conversation with me as per what you really want to know. You don't need to know what bones were broken because you already know this. Q: No. No. I'm not saying that I want to know what... B: What do you really want to know? Q: I want to know how much you can really see... B: I just told you how much. Q: So that I can... B: Only as much as you let me. And only when you are functioning from love in the exchange with me - and when you are not expecting that I need to answer you in a certain way to prove something to you, because I can't prove anything to you. You can't prove anything to anyone. Q: You know what I'm asking? Do you know what I'm asking? B: Yes, I know what you're asking; but that type of validation is totally the product of your own creation. Q: Fine. So then let's push all that aside... B: All right. Q: ... and really get down to business here. B: Is there any business to discuss? Q: Yes there is. B: What? Q: I don't know if there is any business to discuss. B: In my perception, in a sense, there is not. You know what you are doing with your life. You do not need me to answer any questions for you. You have all the answers, and you know you do. Now, if you wish to simply share who you are with me, fine. Maybe somewhere in there are certain ideas I will learn of you that I can share back with you; but only when there is equal sharing. Q: Okay. I'll start with the first thing, we'll put this body stuff aside. I would like to trust you as I trust my guru. B: All right. But it is all right with me if you don't. You understand? I trust you. Q: Yeah. I don't care whether it's all right with you or not. B: Well, then you are not willing, in that way, to form the trust. That is up to you, if you wish to form it. Q: You know, I would assume that as... B: All right. What is your trust based on? You see trust is the idea of unconditional love. And when you are putting conditions on your trust you are saying: "Well, I will trust you if you act this way, a certain way that I will accept, therefore, something I can trust." That means it is conditional love. Q: I hope you guys don't mind this energy. B: No, no, no, no, no, it's very, very loving. Very, very teaching on your part. They are all learning something. Now... Q: They just haven't figured out what yet. B: Does not matter. (AUD: comments) Now simply, all I'm saying is that the idea of trust, and the idea of love is the same. It is unconditional. When it occurs, it occurs unconditionally. If there are conditions... Q: All right. Well... B: ... it doesn't work. The communication does not exist if the trust and the love are not unconditional to begin with. My civilization has telepathy, so to speak, between all of its members, and we know what has happened to all of its members because we are all in love with each to begin with. We do not put expectations: "Well, you act this way and then I'll think about trusting you." We do not put conditions on our love. We accept them as they are - for whatever the communication is that occurs. Because we know whatever we receive from them is the product of what we co- created with them. And we trust them and we trust ourselves to have created exactly the interaction that we need. Q: I cannot trust... B: That is your choice then. It is your choice. If you simply cannot do it, you cannot do it; but that is your choice. Q: Fine! B: But that is why... Q: I'm telling you my choice right now, okay? And I'm presenting the (unintelligible word) of that choice in order to clear it up. Will you shut up and listen to me? B: Very well. Q: Thank you. B: You are welcome. Q: Maybe later, I guess. B: As you wish.
