THE COUNTDOWN CONTINUES
                                         Malibu 19 Nov. 97

All right I'll say good day to you all this day of your time, how are you
all?  Once again we take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you
for allowing this transmission to occur in this manner through this
particular gateway and at this time.  Once again, each and every time you
allow our civilization to communicate with yours in this manner it expands
our understanding of the infinite because we get to experience different
aspects of creation through each and every  one of your unique
perspectives.  So we thank you for this gift of exchange.

We would like to begin this transmission this day of your time with the
following idea: as we have recently began to point out, now is the
beginning of a cycle wherein there is a clock counting down toward contact
-physiological interaction between your species and many other species.
One and only one of the signals of this, at this time, is the great shifts
taking place within the collective consciousness.

The idea of the game of the musical chairs that is being played on your
planet at this time with the coming and going of different individuals for
a variety of different reasons, the repositioning of energies and powers,
the repositioning and refocusing of attention and priorities, at this time,
beginning break down, beginning to shift, beginning to move around and
occupy different spaces than they did heretofore occupy. And,  as we have
said, to aid and assist your planet in this we have position ourselves,
literally, physically above your world.  Physically  at this time along
with other members of our society.  And slowly over a span of years we will
slowly descend closer and closer and closer physically to the surface of
your planet until such time that it is appropriate for physical contact to
take place.

And so, in the keeping of the spirit of this idea, we now allow ourselves
to reinforce in each and everyone of you that what this means, what our
physical proximity means, in terms of these interactions, these exchanges,
these transmissions is that you, in a sense, have more of us present. You,
in a sense, will feel more of our frequency than you have before in the
previous fourteen of your years of Earth time.  You will, thus then,
recognize that more of who we are will leak through these transmissions
and, very quickly, many of you will realize that more of who we are means
that there will be less and less, as you say in your language, beating
around the bush.  There will be more directness, more 'interactivity' and,
shall we say, more reflection of what it is we know that each and everyone
of you has chosen to be.  There will be less coddling.  There will be more,
as you would say, 'upfrontness'  about the paths you have chosen.  There
will be, in these exchanges and interactions, more opportunity to be
yourselves more fully, more actively, more creatively.  We will reflect
these opportunities to you and we will discover together that this will
usually equate to the idea of abrupt shifts and transitions in energy.
Abrupt realignments of perspectives and ideas, and perhaps even abrupt
destruction of old systems which are no longer germane for the paths you
all say you have chosen.

For at this time the mirror is being polished, the mirror is being cleaned.
 No longer will the reflections be dusty or dim. Now they will be stronger
than before and now the reflection will indicate, at least as far as we are
concerned, that you are ready to take bigger steps, that you are ready to
start acting more like the true selves you say you  have wanted to be for
so long.  And there will be not much room, not much quarter for the idea of
straying from that path any more.

We do understand that some of there interactions may become more abrupt in
certain ways, but this is only because we recognize that you have the
ability to make abrupt change in your lives now that you have the ability
to stick to the ideas you say are really important to you and to not waver
from these choices to live that life of joy, to live that life of ecstasy.
But again, it comes with what might be called a cautionary warning-it may
not come about as you think!  It may not come about as you expect.  This is
why we refer you to many of the systems, at this time, on your own planet
that have been around for thousands of years that speak of the idea of
seeing things in a different light, of looking at life from a different
perspective, of really beginning to function as if you know all thing are
one, and allowing yourselves to let go of past paradigms, to let go of
habits and patterns, to let go of expectations to let go of structure and
to allow yourselves to know that you flow naturally as you are, and to
trust.  To place your trust in the spontaneity of the natural shifts and
flows that are going to be taking  place in more and more 'accelerative'
fashions in your upcoming months and years as things accelerate greatly.
Riding the wave of that acceleration you will be able to allow yourself to
handle it.  Resist it now, in any way, shape and form, on almost any level,
to any degree may cause, shall we say-a lot of static.  A lot of heat, a
lot of friction within yourselves as any resistance that remains, in a
sense, will be burned out of you by the 'accelerative' energy that your
higher self says that it has chosen to exemplify through your physical form
in this life and at this time.

To sum it all up and put it in simplest terms, we will choose a phrase that
you have on your planet--it is time to walk your talk. No longer to ponder,
but-to walk, to act, to be.  And to understand that the unknown is now par
for the course.  To drop your expectations about the way you think it might
come about and to allow yourself to recognize that it is coming about in a
variety of ways, that, heretofore, may not have seemed possible--that you
may not have considered.  But will be the indicators and the
'symptomologies' that you are moving to a higher level very quickly, and
will be an indicator that greater power is now willing, within you, to be
expressed.

So do not be thrown by the jarring, by the abruptness of the shift and by
the unexpected directions in which it may come.  Allow yourself to take it
in stride and know that the unknown is just about the only place that's
going to seem stable to you in the upcoming years.

  We thank you for allowing us to share this aspect and this facet of this
perspective this day of your time in this transmission, and, once again, in
return for the gift that you are giving us in allowing us this exchange,  I
ask in what way may I know and all of us be of service to you?

Audience: Bashar!

Bashar: What?  You....
