Bashar: Channeled by Darryl Anka From Theology Class 11-17-87 Different Lives Bashar: Sharing! Questioner: Bashar B: Yes. Q: What is the purpose of knowing what your connection is to another planetary system? And you were saying before that it might change from lifetime to lifetime. B: Yes. Q: And how is that a function? I don 't understand. B: Well, the idea, first of all, is to remember that, again, all of you exist on every level there is to exist upon, right now. Different lives -- what you call reincarnation -- is simply your term in linear time references. But the idea of linear time is your perception from within a physical reality. All the lives, all the existences, all the ways you do exist, all exist now. And, in a sense, in one meaning of the term, they all exist here as well. The analogy we have used a few times is, what you call, your radio analogy. You have, in your society, the analogy, the device, you call a radio. Now, you know that when your dial is tuned to one particular program -- you know that all the other programs are still there at the same time, but you only get the one you're listening to, you're focused on, at any given moment. Let's call that this life now. Here's your dial now, tuned into the program of, what you call, your earth existence. But for each and every one of those other existences, their dial, on the setting they have it on, seems to be the only life that is going on. And all the other ones are immaterial, or ghost-like, or probable, or potential lives, or past, or future, or alternate lives. Each life sees itself as "the" life being lived. But all these things are going on simultaneously, because all existence exists now. And all the separations in existence are simply different frequencies that existence has of experiencing itself now. And it experiences all these different ideas all at once. However, because the definition of your particular program involves linear time, then you don't experience it all at once; you experience it stretched out: before-now-after, middle-end, cause-effect, negative-positive. All these ideas are simply the result of the definition you collectively have created your physical reality to be. So, the importance of any of these connections simply is that there will always be bleed-through, shall we say, from all of your alternate lives into this one, and vice versa. And that bleed-through will usually come in a way that is symbolized, or formalized, in a way you can apply it into this life. Otherwise it wouldn't make too much sense for you. So being aware of some of the other connections can assist you. All we do is de- stress the idea that it is crucial to know all those other connections, because every life is a complete kit, and has all it needs to live the life being lived. If it excites you to explore these connections, it can awaken certain insights within you about, perhaps, the reasons for why you chose to be born on earth at this time. A lot of those other connections do tie in -- especially now in your transformational age -- as to why you have chosen to have a life on earth at this time. Especially because a lot of the things you will be doing on earth at this time will actually open you up to blatant interactions with many of us, wherein many of you will discover your own counterparts existing in our societies. Understand? Q: Yes. B: That's why it has, to some degree, some relevance in your life now. But we always like to downplay it, because the power always starts and ends with you. Understand? Q: Yes. B: So the idea, simply, in terms of a different connection to any different life, will be that each life, of its own different definition, will then make different levels of connections that are relevant to the definition of that life. There may be several lives that may have, what you would call, the same connection, thereby creating what appears to be a continuity of connection through a period of time; but each life chooses to make that connection separately and distinctly. And any continuity you may perceive is only your illusion. Understand? Q: Yes. B: Is this of assistance to you? Q: Yes, it is. B: Oh, thank you very much. Sharing! Q: You said that you've observed our culture over thousands of years? B: I was speaking collectively. Not my society specifically, but many of the societies within the Association of Worlds has, yes.
