*Money* from Beyond Belief 3-20-98 Q: Good day, Bashar. B: And to you, good day. Q: I have spent the last year, ah... B: One moment...one moment...proceed. Q: I've spent the last year, ah, not analyzing myself because I did get very tired of it. B: All right. Q: I have spent, probably, my entire life not knowing what it is that I want to be when I grow up. B: Well, I would not say your entire life, but I understand what you mean. There have been moments when you did know and there have especially been moments when you were a child that you knew very well who you were. But, of course, as with most of you, you were taught out of that knowledge; but there have been moments when you do. It is something that you can remember. But do continue. Q: Then it would have to be music. B: All right, music it is, if you say so. Q: Well, I would like to remember that moment. B: Why? Make the moment now. Create the moment any time you want. That's what knowingness is all about, totally exist in the here and now, create the moment. You don't have to go back into the past and retrieve a memory. Memory is created in the now anyway. When you remember something, in a sense, you are not actually going back there, you're creating that memory from here. So create whatever memory you want and make it the present reality, if that's what you want to do. Does this make any sense to you or does this seem too daunting a task? Q: I guess so. B: All right, are you releasing emotion? Q: Yes B: All right, that's very good. It means that you are in that process, letting go of things that inhibit you from living in the moment. That's what some of these emotions you have are for, so, by all means, feel them, don't push them down. Let it out and, in that sense, then you are making music. You are making the music of yourself, which is the sweetest music that there is. And the first music that there needs to be for you to express any other kind of music, there must be the music of you; for you are the first note. Does that make some sense to you? Q: Yes. B: So the more you let go of that which is not your song, the easier it will be for you to express your song in many other ways and many other modalities. Make sense? Q: Somewhat, but it reminds me that.... B: Yes. Q: I've spent my whole life.... B: Ah, ah, ah judgment. There is no such thing as wasted time. You understand? Q: No I wasn't going there. B: All right, where were you going? Q: My life, I have ignored... B: Yes. What, ignored what? Q: That... B: That...ignored the fact that? Q: I need money to do the things I want to do. B: Ignored the idea? Q: Well just played like...well if I need money, I don't have any, so forget it. B: All right. So, you were using that as a way of telling yourself you didn't have to do those things, is that what you are saying? Q: No. A way... B: What? What, what, what? Q: Well, I still can't believe that you have to have all this money. B: You don't necessarily have to, but you can. Audience: Yes, you do. B: No, you don't! Audience laughs. B: You don't have to, but you can. Now, we recently talked very specifically, in an entire transmission, about the concept of money. We did what you call a money workshop, last transmission. One of the most important principles that we shared in that workshop we will share with you now. It really is the most fundamental principle you need when dealing with the idea of attracting money into your life. And this is how it goes, are you paying attention? Q: Somewhat. B: Somewhat, all right, well, I'll wait.........are you paying attention now? Do you want to know this principle? Q: Sure. B: Well then, are you paying attention? Q: Yeah, I was just ...you know I get so emotional that.... B: Well, that's all right, it doesn't mean you can't pay attention and be emotional. So are you paying attention while you are being emotional? Q: I'll just pay attention. B: Thank you, you see you always have enough attention to pay, you're abundant there...unlimited attention. Now, here's the principle, you, all of you, goes for all of you, were created as you are, and as you are, you have sufficient ability to do, or at least begin to do, anything you want. When you allow your imagination to come into play, you will find this is true and you are nowhere near as limited as you may think. But the point is, that when you start out, if you are just yourself in the middle of nowhere, with nothing...the idea to understand is this - *when you learn how* *to do more with less* - */when you learn how to do more with less, you will be/* */able to do less and get more/*. All right, all right, all right, thank you, we will give an example. Q: I think of the Internet right away. B: Well, all right. Q: You can get to a lot of people. B: Yes Q: All over the world. B: Yes. Q: With less capital. B: Yes. So in a sense this is, perhaps, one example. The idea is that the individuals who began that idea started out very basic, with not very much. They learned how to do a lot with very little. And once they learned how to do a lot with very little, with whatever they had and made it go far, made it stretch, milked it for everything their imagination could pull out of it, when they used all that they could out of what they had and made it go very far, then it amplified itself, it magnified itself, it took off into something that then made it necessary to do very little to be able to do and accomplish quite a lot. Does that work as an example for you? Q: Yes. Audience: Just one more example? B: Oh more, more examples? Audience: One more. B: Oh, just one more, all right, all right, all right. Well, we'll go back to the example that we used in the workshop. Let us say you are an artist. All right? Now, you know that to be an artist, contrary to what many of you are taught, you don't have to have fancy pencils and pen and paints. You can take a stick, you can burn the end and you can draw on a wall with the charcoal that results from the burning. And as we said in the workshop, many of you now know that these so called primitive cave paintings, that were accomplished in exactly that way, are very sophisticated forms and expressions of art. And in fact are highly prized, even in your modern artistic society, as being very sophisticated expressions of art. The idea, therefore, is that if you were an artist and all you had was a stick and you sat around thinking that you needed more in order to be an artist, you would be stuck. But if you didn't let that get in your way and you said, well, I can be an artist with a stick, and you burned the end and painted a picture, or you took more sticks and tied them together and made sculptures or whatever came to your imagination. If you did that and did everything you could with what you had, then someone comes along, recognizes the genius in your art and perhaps works with you or brings you some other means or methodology to expand your art. Then, bit by bit, you will find that you will be able to attract other people and other aspects of your reality to magnify and amplify what you have already done, and give you the opportunity to do less and get more. In other words, once you become, in your own mind and in everyone else's mind, an accomplished artist, do you not find that the greatest artist must do, perhaps, nothing more than sketch a few lines to have that paining to be highly valued? Because it is the fullness of the expression that goes into such simpleness, in such a genius way, that actually still captures all of the artistic essence that may have been in an earlier, but perhaps, more complicated painting. And so the greatest value, many times, is actually placed on some of the simplest art forms because it took the absolute expression of 'artisticness' to create that ultra simplified form in just exactly the right way that it expresses what allows other people to feel what the artist felt. So you can accomplish more with less. Once you learn how, how to do more with the less you already have.... Q2: Bashar isn't what's part of that to be the love upon us with.... B: Well, of course. Q2: For example, the guy painting on the cave wall with the stick. B: Yes. Q2: Was he not invoking this part of himself fused with the animal? B: Yes, of course, Q2: So, therefore, that is key in all of this process. B: And it is simply key that you are in love with the expression itself, no matter what it represents. Yes, of course, that, in a sense, goes without saying but it is already been said, so that is all right. But yes, the idea is, is that once you understand that your love, your passion, your energy gives you automatically the ability to take whatever it is you have at hand and use it to do more than you may have been taught to think you can do with it. You will then find that it will turn around and you will not need to do as much to attract and accomplish a lot, including money. That's the principle, when you learn to do more with less, you will need to do less to get more. That's the principle, plain and simple; it can't be said anymore simply. Does this make some sense to you? Q: Yes, especially the 'simpleness,' because I require that things be simple. B: Well, you see creation knew what it was doing. And by simply creating you, if you were out in the middle of nowhere with nothing, it knew that it had to be simple, because that's all it gave you.That tells you its simple, because you weren't given anything else. Q: I would still like to know what I want to be when I grow up? B: That's up to you because that's everyone's gift, to decide what that is, or to know what that is, and to feel it and express it. And, on the other hand, in some ways, I hope you never grow up. In some ways allowing yourself to be that child is the most grown up thing you can do. And you know that that makes sense, yes? Q: Yeah, but being a child as a grown up is very tiring. B: All right, then be a grown up as a child, if it is tiring for you because you are resisting old ideas. Then let them go and just pay attention to the knowingness that is inherent in the principle we just gave you, of simplicity. Q: Well I feel like I'm resisting new ideas, you have to do this, you have to do that, you have to go to school, you have to be somebody. B: Yes, well, have to, have to, have to. You are somebody. You are somebody. YOU ARE SOMEBODY! Q: And I believe that. B: Do you? Q: Sure. B: Sure, but do you know it? That's the point of tonight's discussion. Believe it all right, but do you know it? Which means you do not have to think about it, you just are. Q: I think.... B: You think? Q: ...maybe I know it, but I don't believe it? B: Maybe you do believe it, but maybe you don't know it? Which is it? Which do you want it to be? Which do you prefer it was? Q: To know it. B: Well then, let that be true and act accordingly, in simplicity, in passion, in vision, in creativity. Let yourself express it in whatever modality you say is your modality. If it be music, so be it. If it is something else, so be it. But let it be and let yourself understand and absorb that principle of learning to do more with less, so that you can do less to get more. That's how it works, that's how it works. Your imagination is key. Your willingness to play is key. Q: Okay. B: All right? Q: Yes.
