The Thirteenth Floor

Thousand Oaks, CA


All right, I'll say good day to you at this time. How are you all?  Once
again, we take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for
allowing this interaction, and this transmission to take place, in this
manner, and through this gateway, and at this time.  Once again, each and
every time you allow such a transmission to occur, it affords our
civilization an opportunity to experience that many more facets of the
Infinite, through the unique expressions and perspectives that each and
every one of you have chosen to be.  So, we thank you for this gift of
exchange.

We would like to begin this transmission, this day of your time, by
recognizing, in honor of your calendar date, the idea that your
civilization places behind the number thirteen.  So let us discuss this
concept as it exists in your collective, archetypal consciousness and
explore some of the ramifications as to why this particular numerical value
has been assigned such interesting qualities in your culture.

First and foremost, recognize that anything that has to do with numbers is
connected to the idea, the recognition of, the sensing of, the perception
of certain proportions and mathematical ratios in nature that represent
certain vibrations, certain relationships.  Thirteen, not only in your own
culture but many cultures, not only on your planet but in other
civilizations, is recognized as being a vibrational resonance that defines
and represents a relationship between all that is considered to be of lower
frequency, physical dimensionality and the higher realms of non-physical
consciousness.  Thirteen is a transition number, a transition frequency in
and of itself, therefore, representative archetypically of a gateway, a
doorway, through which and by which consciousness can connect to higher
levels of awareness, higher dimensions of experiencing the frequency
itself, the vibration itself, the relationship.

The ratio itself is something that is an energy that can be used when
contemplated upon, when focused upon in meditations, or in a variety of
creative ways to open very specific gateways and doorways within your own
consciousness, physically as a person, and help you to connect to Higher
Self, Oversoul levels, Spiritual realms, non-physical dimensionality of
many different types and varieties.  This is one of the reasons why,
because of the definitions, the negative definitions, the fears that exist
in many cultures in your society, why the number thirteen has been given
such superstitious qualities, such fearful qualities, as if it is something
to be avoided,

These meanings, these negative meanings have only been attached to this
vibration because it is recognized, at least subconsciously or
unconsciously, by many of you, that it is a connection to more rarefied
realms of Spirit and awareness. Yet because, for thousands of generations,
people on your planet have been out of touch with themselves, their inner-
selves, their inner-life, their inner-light, have been out of touch with
things of Spirit,  mythologies have been built up around Spirit that makes
Spirit and non-physical awareness seem to been something to be avoided,
something to be feared.  And so, in recognizing that the thirteen
vibration,  the thirteen frequency is a doorway through which connection
and contact can be made, then because of the fear it has been labeled as
something to be avoided, something to be shunned at all costs, for it is
known that to connect to that frequency will put you in touch with the
inner realm self, in some senses, open yourselves to fear, to face and
process fear.

It is a processing number, a processing frequency that, when dealt with
appropriately, can be of great aid and assistance in helping you process
many of the doubts and fears you have within yourself.  Thirteen
represents, in many ways, the actual portal of the unknown; and as we have
said many times, it is best to make a friend of the unknown. That is where
you discover most of yourself, that is where is you find who and what you
are, is in the unknown. That is where is where you will know who and what
you are by how it is you act in the face of the unknown, so we would urge
many of you, most of you, perhaps even all of you, in this time of your
collective consciousness, of the date that you call Friday the Thirteenth,
especially because there is another one coming up next month of your time,
two in a row.

So you have a month, a bracketed month, bracketed on each end by a Friday
the Thirteenth forming a grander doorway, a bigger doorway, an
amplification, a magnification of this idea.  So, in the next month you
have a golden opportunity, a golden proportional ratio opportunity to
really explore all the ideas of all the things that the number and the
vibration of thirteen can jolt loose, shake loose within you, and allow
them to come to the surface. Fearing not, but using your imagination and
curiosity to allow yourself to integrate those things you formally feared,
so that you can become more than you are.

Use this time and use this number, use this archetypal symbol as your key
and your gateway to explore and discover the unknown self, and make that
more of you.  Make it known, allow it to be known so that you can become
grander, bigger, more expanded, more accelerated, more aware of who and
what you are and, thus, simultaneously more aware of what your reality can
be in whatever way, shape or form you wish to contemplate this, in whatever
way, shape or form your imagination wishes to use this idea.

Do something, be it meditative, or creative play, or some artistic endeavor
or expression, or music.  Explore and play, now, for the next month with
the number thirteen and allow yourself to absorb and transform all the
symbology and superstition.  Allow it to become something that can serve
you, rather than something that would chase you back into the darker sides
of yourself.  Remember that your physical reality is a mirror, very
realistically a mirror reflecting to you the strongest combination of
ideas, beliefs, definitions that you have bought into.  And so, take a
moment to explore this unknown zone in all the creative ways that you can.


We recognize that this superstition exists even to the point where many of
your actual architectural structures, your buildings, don't even have a
thirteenth floor, so to speak.  Although, of course, you know they do.  So
we would, as a suggestion, just to increase, amplify and exemplify the idea
of exploration we are talking about, we would suggest that you actually
find a building that was not afraid to label its thirteenth floor,
thirteen. Or you go to a building that does not have one, and in some way,
shape or form, in your imagination, find a way to go to the thirteenth
floor.

Play with that idea, because it is there, maybe in between twelve and
fourteen, even though it may not be physical, it is there.  Because so many
of you have put so much energy on the idea of avoiding the thirteenth
floor, that energy in your collective consciousness goes towards creating
the thirteenth floor, at least in non-physical, spiritual terms.  So it is
there, it can be visited.  I would invite you, I would challenge you to go
and find a thirteenth floor in a building that does not have one and see
what kind of experiences comes about.  You may not even find it physically;
you may only find it in your dreams.

Once you make an attempt, once you take the step, you may find yourself, in
your dreams, all of a sudden on that thirteenth floor that wasn't there
physically.  Or some of you actually, don't be afraid, you may actually
find yourself on a thirteenth floor that isn't there, even if only
momentarily; but that's alright.  There is nothing that inhabits the
thirteenth floor that can hurt you, it is only the hidden portion of
yourself.  Thirteen represents all the things that you have taken and
hidden in between the other floors of your consciousness.  It is time now
to find that thirteenth floor, make it accessible, once again, to the
elevator of your imagination.  So all of you over the next month, between
this Friday the thirteenth and the next one, which by the way will be a
full moon, Friday the thirteenth.

Q:  Great!

B:  And so you see how that amplifies and compounds the symbology, and
explore the idea of what this means and what kind of discoveries you can
make.  Allow these here-to-fore unexplored hidden areas come to the light,
to unfold and to be given some kind of physical manifestation, at least, to
whatever degree you are willing to absorb and transform those hidden
portions of yourself.  So you may label this conversation, "The Thirteenth
Floor."

We thank you for allowing us to share this idea with you, this day of you
time.   And in return for the gift that you are giving our civilization, in
allowing this exchange to occur, through this window and in this way, I
ask, in return, in what way may I now be of service to you?

Q:  Bashar!  Bashar!  Bashar!
