THE 3D PERSPECTIVE MALIBU, CA 10-17-97 All right, I'll say good day to you, this day of your time. How are you all? Once again, we take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for allowing our civilization to interact with your civilization in this way. Each and every time we are allowed to interact with all of you, we are given an opportunity to experience, through each and every one of you, a new perspective of the infinite and this expands our understanding of creation. So, we thank you for this gift. We would like to begin this transmission, this day of your time, with the following idea that we will entitle, "The 3D Perspective." Many times we have talked about the idea, and many of you have heard it from other sources as well, about following your joy, acting on your excitement; but we also, at the same time, recognize that you are *a polarized society*. In other words, you experience a great deal of polarity, positive/negative, light/dark, yin/yang, as you say. And as you have created yourself to experience reality through opposites, even including the idea of the creation of your brain being, what you call, left hemisphere, right hemisphere and you attribute certain abilities to each hemisphere. Now, this is a generalization, of course, there are more areas of your brain that handle more things that you may be aware of, but for the purposes of this illustration, in general, there is, perhaps, more, as you know, of the so called analytical modality or perspective on the left side; more of what you call the imagination or free association on the right side of the hemisphere of the brain. This duality, this polarity, often creates a bit of confusion with regard to following your joy; acting on your excitement. Because many of you, from an early age, are trained in one modality over the other, not that you don't necessarily exhibit both to some degree. But very often, in your upbringing as children, many of you are trained to go in one direction, becoming either more analytical or more imaginative and thus, when you finally, perhaps, give yourself the opportunity to come to the realization that you can follow your joy and live your life through excitement, you will still have, as you say, a tendency, from your training, to choose to look at your joy, to perceive your joy through one modality or another. And, in that sense, it is not that you are not seeing your joy but you may, in a sense, only be seeing half of it or half of the ways in which your joy can actually be experienced by you. For example, an individual who might be more heavily prone to use intellectuality may recognize what is truly their joy but may not understand how the imaginative side of their being can also bring to them experiences of their joy in a mode they are not familiar with and, as you say, vice versa. The analogy we would like to use is what you call your 3D glasses, as exists in your technology, with regard to your 3D pictures. The idea is that for the most part, though there are various techniques, one of the primary techniques that creates 3D movies on your planet is the utilization of overlapping images. Two images on the screen at the same time, one image polarized in one direction and another image polarized in another direction. These two polarized images, thus, then come to your eyes which are shielded with glasses that are also polarized; one lens is polarized to receive only the image from this direction and another is polarized to receive only the image that is polarized in this direction. Thus, each eye separately receives a unique image, its own image; does not see both images and it is the brain that puts the two images back together to give you the sensation of the three dimensional picture. As such, the idea of looking at your joy only from the analytical perspective or only from the imagination perspective is like looking at it from one polarized lens and not the other. You may see your joy, you may recognize your joy, but you may be missing half of the *full holographic, three dimensional picture* by not allowing yourself to believe that the other side, that the method, has anything to offer you or has anything at all to do with your ability to experience your joy. So, we would suggest that you would allow yourself to expand in your understanding that there is *always something for you to explore on the* *other side, in the other modalities, in the other ways of going about* *looking at your joy and looking at your truth, looking at yourself and* *looking at your life* and do not allow yourself to necessarily think there is only one way to see your joy. Thus, then you can expand your concept of what your joy may be and see how joy experienced in this way and joy experienced in this way can work together in harmony to give you a much more fully rounded picture and a fully rounded experience of all the ways that *the joy that is you* can be experienced in your experience of yourself, as a physical being. Now, that is one thing that we would like to talk about in this transmission but there is another; the second idea has to do with something that we have mentioned from time to time but also have begun to mention more often lately and that is the concept on your planet that is often referred to as the Tao. Now, when we talk about the concept that in your language or one of your earth languages is called the Tao or the Way; the principles in this concept are very similar, as many of you recognize, to many of the principles that we are talking about for understanding reality and how to live in the moment, in the center of your being, in present time; *staying* *in the present*. But when we talk about the Tao and that word is translated through the channel's brain to you, we wish to make it clear that we do not mean to emphasize the idea of any particular religion on your planet. We are not talking about Tao-ism. The idea that humans will take the recognition of a principle and make an "ism" out of it is another idea altogether. But the Tao itself is simply one way to understand *the nature of* *existence* by whatever word you wish to call it, and there are, of course, many words to call it by. We are referring to it simply because that is one of the more convenient words that exists, that does most succinctly express the concept as similar to the way that we understand it in our civilization. So, please understand that when we use the term Tao, we are not in any way shape and form, as you would say, pushing a particular religion; just a concept that humans on your planet have happen to turn into a religious system; as has happened many times in your history. We thank you for allowing to share these two ideas and perspectives with you this day of your time in this transmission. And in return for the gift you are giving to our civilization in allowing us to experience you through this gateway, at this time. I ask in return in what way may I and my world, now, be of service to you? Q: Bashar! Q: Bashar! B: You, and then you. Number one do you know who you are? Number two do you know who you are? All right, good day....
