*The Primer* Q: Last week you told me to think about, or imagine a crystal dome. B: Yes. Q: And when I was... B: And (imagine) who was within it. Q: Right. Um, when I did that this week I went to your planet, Essassani, and I was in a crystal dome. B: Yes, and was there anyone with you? Q: Yes, there was this entity, this man. B: Yes. Q: I still don't know his name. B: We do not have names. Q: Oh, well... B: Bashar is not my name. It is a convenience for you and it is more of a title than a name. Q: Well, in any event, the dome was like this... it was like a liquid crystal. It almost feels as if the membrane itself was also a liquid. B: In a sense, yes, it is malleable, formable, transmutable. Q: Then a strange thing happened when I was inside this crystal dome. B: Not strange for the crystal. Q: No. (laughing) Not strange for the crystal, but strange for me. B: All right. Q: When I was inside this crystal dome there was, like, an instantaneous shift over to a dome that was made of, like, raw crystal rock. B: Continue. Q: And I saw myself within that rock crystal dome, also wearing a crystal headpiece. B: Yes. Q: And it seems like I was preparing for some kind of dance performance, or something. B: Oh, in a sense...a connection to more of All That Is, very good. You were in, what we would refer to as, the Primer. Which, in this way, is simply a place in which to connect to All That Is, and is left more in what you would call a natural state. Q: Oh, so that was... that was something on your planet? B: Yes. Q: It was, oh... I was wondering, you know it's like in that... what you call a Primer... B: Yes. Q: ... there were, like, wooden seats, that reminded me very much of a church, they looked real uncomfortable. (Audience laughter) B: You would think of the idea as a chapel but it is not, and those seats are not there. That is simply your projection because of the association you made. Q: I figured that's what it was. B: It is a place for connecting to more of All That Is, and hence you would make the association that it is, in your terms, a church, but it is not really. Q: Oh, and the crystal headpiece, was that just an interpretation of mine, or... B: In a sense... it is something that is manifestable. It is an interpretation but it is also real as you imagine it to be. In other words, in those terms, the wooden chairs as you imagine them also become real, but they do not exist there without your imagination. Q: Right. B: The headpiece also does not exist without your imagination, but once you imagine it, it becomes real. That is the idea behind the Primer. Q: Oh, okay. B: Do you understand that there is an entire... now, we shall call it a planet, but it is not in the strictest sense in that way... there is an entire planet that functions in this way; a crystal world, in which all of your imagination is instantaneously materialized. Many beings partake of that experience. Q: Well, the reason I asked a question about the crystal headpiece... B: Yes. Q: ... I've seen crystal headpieces in some of my meditations before. B: Yes, it is also a reference to the idea of, what you call, Atlantis. Q: OK, and I've also collected large crystal pieces and there's a sense that the crystal headpieces have very large crystals in them, so much so that for this planet it would be very heavy, I mean, like, too heavy to wear, but it's as if... B: To some degree, although again, that is, in your terms, an interpretation. Q: OK. B: An exaggeration, a sensing of the power. Q: OK, this is what I sensed is... at least I visualized them large. B: Yes. Q: But it's as if they didn't have that kind of weight... B: Yes. Q: ... on my head. OK, all right, thank you. B: Oh, thank you.
