Part 1
Good evening, Bashar. I do you, good day! I am very happy that I get to speak to you again in a relatively short time, in terms of our time. If you say so. And I'm grateful for the synchronicity that my name got chosen. All right, we thank you. I just love to be in your presence, and of course... It would be, in some senses, better if you would simply remain in your own presence. But we thank you for the thought. Okay. Did that throw you? A little, yes. Could you please expand on remaining in... Do I need to? Live in the present. Remain in your own present. We were having a play with your words. Yes. Yes. All right, continue. And? And... I'm sort of... I don't know what to say anymore. You are befuddled. That my work here is done. Oh. For it is fun to be befuddled sometimes. Get out of your own thoughts, get out of your own head, not necessarily know what's coming up next, and be open to the unexpected. to the unexpected and the unknown. Oh, yes. I love the twists you give to things. Oh, all right. When it's unexpected. Yes. And... Are you loving this one? There is one. No, I just wanted to thank you for a sentence you gave me when I last talked to you, which was, everything is definition except your existence and the five laws. Actually, existence is the first law, isn't it? Yes, it is. Yes. Well, I'm still caught in some definitions... You're still... What? Here's your opportunity. I always come up with a word you don't like. Oh, no, no, please. Watch that definition. It has nothing to do with what we do or don't like. I know that. It has to do with what serves you and what is clarity and clarifying for you. When you say you get caught, you're giving your power away. When you acknowledge that you're choosing things you don't prefer, you remember. self-empowered. So watch your definition. You're not caught except by your own choice to be, feeling like you're caught. So, if you feel caught, the question is, why would you choose to have an experience that disempowers or makes you feel disempowered? Hmm. And as soon as you acknowledge that you're choosing it, you are empowered with a sufficient amount of power to investigate, why you would be choosing something you say you don't prefer. And then you can investigate it and let it go because you can recognize it doesn't serve you. Mm-hmm. So you're never caught, never at a loss, never coming up short. Those are all definitions that don't work for you. Find definitions that do. Mm-hmm. Yes? Yes. It's up to you. Mm-hmm. Yes. Is this helping? It is. It is. All right, Ann. Some of my choices are partly unconscious, I believe, and partly due to still following a belief that doesn't serve me.

go because you can recognize it doesn't serve you. Mm-hmm. So you're never caught, never at a loss, never coming up short. Those are all definitions that don't work for you. Find definitions that do. Mm-hmm. Yes? Yes. It's up to you. Mm-hmm. Yes. Is this helping? It is. It is. All right, Ann. Some of my choices are partly unconscious, I believe, and partly due to still following a belief that doesn't serve me. Like wanting to please or not making a mistake, things like that. But as soon as you recognize that feeling or recognize that circumstance as a reflection of that idea, it's no longer unconscious. unconscious. Yes, that's true. Remember, a habit is something you do you don't know you're doing. Once you recognize you're doing it, if you do it again, it's a choice. You can't blame the pattern anymore. So there may be things that are unconscious, but your life will bring them to your attention through the reflections and circumstances and feelings that you have that you can use to trace those back to what you have to believe is true in order to have those experiences, those feelings. And once you're willing to investigate the answer to that question, you'll find out what the definition is and make it conscious. So you're using your life, as we said, carmically, as a self-guiding mechanism. You're realizing that the feelings and circumstances are there as opportunities to get in touch with beliefs that may be unconscious so that you can make them conscious so that you can work with them and let them go if you don't prefer them. It's that simple. It's sometimes that, there is a word again, I sometimes catch myself doing something. something I already know doesn't serve me, but somehow I still do it. Yes. But you haven't gotten deep enough then into your mechanism of motivation. You haven't found the beliefs that are attached to your motivations that would make it seem logical to choose something you don't prefer. Because the only reason, the only reason you would choose things you don't prefer, is there must be an unconscious belief attached to it that actually makes it seem like the better choice. Find out what that is, because you always, all of you, you always, always choose what you believe is actually in your best interest. Always! Without fail! You always choose what you believe is in your best interest. So if you can recognize empirically, as you say intellectually, that you're choosing things that actually aren't in your best interest, the only reason you would keep choosing that is there must be an overpowering belief that what you're choosing is better than the alternative.

all of you, you always, always choose what you believe is actually in your best interest. Always! Without fail! You always choose what you believe is in your best interest. So if you can recognize empirically, as you say intellectually, that you're choosing things that actually aren't in your best interest, the only reason you would keep choosing that is there must be an overpowering belief that what you're choosing is better than the alternative. You must have a belief attached to the alternative, even if you intellectually say, well, I know the alternative would be better for me, but if you're not choosing it, then that means you've attached a belief to it that says that's the worst thing you could choose. Find out what that belief is you've attached to something it has no business being attached to and detach it by recognizing what it is. And then once you detach that belief, you will move in the direction of what you now know to be in your best interest because you're no longer pretending that it's not with a false belief about it. Make sense? Yes, thank you for reminding me. Yes, absolutely always, our pleasure to do so. Does that help you? It does, thank you very, very much. You are very, very welcome. Thank you.
