DOING IT!



B:  I'm going to ask you a question, if I may?

Q:  Okay.

B:  Is acting your passion?

Q:  Yes and writing.

B:  All right, are you doing both?

Q:  No.

B:  Why not?  Don't give me excuses.

Q:  But I have so many.

B:  Yes, well that's all well and good.  All right, shows you how creative
you are.  Audience laughs.

Q:  Bashar I have such an abundance of excuses.

B:  Yes I know you are creative that way, but don't you see that that is
the very act of the craft you want to practice itself.  All you have to do
is, in a sense, turn it outward instead of turning it inward.

Q:  Bashar I'd like to honestly answer your question that you asked me.

B:  Oh all right-honestly.

Q:  Oh, ha, ha.  I've made many attempts to do exactly...to do that because
I would love to do that on a regular basis as you know each process has its
own involvement's in that type of thing.

B:  STOP!  There is your problem and I'm going to call it a problem just
because so many of you choose that term.

Q:  Okay.

B:  There's your problem, wanting to do it on a regular basis.

Q:  I worded it wrong.

B:  No you haven't, you worded it exactly, revealingly correctly.  The
difficulty is: is that if this is truly your passion, stop worrying about
doing it on a regular basis and just be passionate about doing it ONCE!

Q:  Okay.

B:  Because when your passionate about doing it ONCE and once only then
your passionate about doing it NOW in the now, not concerned about whether
it ever happens again because there is no again.

Q:  Okay.

B:  There is no again, this is where temporal reality trips all of you up.
You think in terms of, I'm doing it now and I have to do it again,  in
order to be happy,  in order to be considered doing it regularly,  in order
to be considered doing it at all,  for real,  I have to do it now and again
and again and again.

Q:  You're right.

B:  All you have to do is do it once and within that once will come all of
the variations of the single one moment that exists, which is the only
moment that exists and that's now.  So be passionate about just doing it
and being it once and that passion will attract all the other opportunities
to allow this single now one moment to become every other possible
expression and opportunity it is.  And that will in some loose way be
interpreted by your linear mind as again and again and again, but it won't
really be again and again.  It will just be the same one now passionate
experience, but from a different point of view and a different point of
view and a different point of view and a different point of view and a
different point of view and a different point of view, but it will not be
again.

Q:  Okay.

B:  Let that sink in.

Q:  Okay.

B:  Thank you.

Q:  Thank you.
