The Art Of Channeling (Part 2 of 6)

Along that line, also, please remember that, back to the assumption of, you know, it should be this, it should be that, it should come through this way. If somebody asks a question, I should be able to get the information for them, blah, blah, blah. Sometimes you have to realize that the whole concept of channeling in that way and being of service in that way means that you will give the person intuitively, instinctively, let the information come through that really actually serves what that person needs or wants to hear sometimes. Many times a person, like going to a healer, healer, of course, healing is a form of channeling energy. They will go to a healer only for the purpose of proving to someone or themselves they cannot be healed. So the healer who does not affect a change in them or allow them to affect a change in themselves may all of a sudden erroneously think, oh, you know, I'm a failure, I've failed, I quit. and heal them. But that may be exactly what that person wanted because they have pride in not being able to be healed for some reason. In that sense, they attracted themselves to someone with whom they could work, where they could show, look, I'm beyond help, and they have actually walked away with what it is they came to get, which is proof that they cannot be healed. So in that sense, you have served them. So don't assume that you always have to be everything to everyone and always have the assumption in your head that it's got to go this way. that. That's not always the case. And that's just one example of how that can go, but take it to heart. Okay. We'll get into other kinds of labels and things later. Right now, I think it's important to sort of begin a little bit of interactivity. Now, I'm not going to ask each and every one of you all these questions. It would take too long. But I will ask you really one question, and I would like an answer from each and every one of you, not because I need to hear it, but because I need to hear it, but because you need to hear yourselves say it. And this is an important step. I want to know why you're here. Why do you want to be in a channeling class? How do you want a channel? Why do you want to do that? Okay? Why are you here? I was in a channeling before and it helped me a lot. And I would like to become a local channel to help other people. Okay, let's go ahead and pass the mic around. All right. Why are you? Okay, I'd like to have my channel open so that I can be receptive to whatever energy is. Is any particular way you want to use this? No. I have no expectations yet. Okay.

you here? I was in a channeling before and it helped me a lot. And I would like to become a local channel to help other people. Okay, let's go ahead and pass the mic around. All right. Why are you? Okay, I'd like to have my channel open so that I can be receptive to whatever energy is. Is any particular way you want to use this? No. I have no expectations yet. Okay. You're just open, you recognize the energy can be helpful. I know it's helpful. However you want it. Right. Okay. Thank you. I think the core idea for me is to facilitate change here, and I'll most likely use it in writing and some voice. Okay. Great. I want to expand my channel and capacity. I've done it on paper mostly for about 10 or 15 years. And I have received such tremendous value in helping my growth from it that I want to be able to offer it to others either as a surface in one form of another or as a teacher. And of course, to transform the world. Help a little bit. Change the world. I'll keep it at that modest level. All right, that's fine. fascinated by the experience of channeling. It's just really exciting. Okay. And I want to be about the channel. You do? Yeah. Okay. Now remember, again, all of you are saying what you want to be right now, don't necessarily assume that that's the way you'll wind up, but make the statement for now, just so you remember you heard yourself say this, so that if it goes one way or the other, you know who to blame. Just joking. Yeah. The reason for me, having channeled before knowingly and unknowingly. In providing hypnosis therapy, I feel this will be a valuable tool to be of service. And whether I take this to the next step and go public or not depends upon the results I receive. Okay. I really don't have any expectations right now, but I do know that I've always had a passion for it and that I'd love to use it in the healing field. Okay. Thank you. I just want to do this for expanding. I know I channel at night for some reason I don't really remember it, but I want to just find out what it opens up to me. I don't know, it just sounded really fun and exciting and also for whatever my highest good will be in whatever manner. No idea. Okay. And so while I was very drawn to be here today and I just feel it would be for my highest good, which I feel would be for other people's highest good in that sense. Okay. Okay. I guess it just really excites me. And that's it. Any particular methodology excites you or just the whole idea?

fun and exciting and also for whatever my highest good will be in whatever manner. No idea. Okay. And so while I was very drawn to be here today and I just feel it would be for my highest good, which I feel would be for other people's highest good in that sense. Okay. Okay. I guess it just really excites me. And that's it. Any particular methodology excites you or just the whole idea? Well, I think when I first met by sure everything, like, just clicked, and it was just really exciting and opened up a whole new world to me. So I'd like to just take it further. Okay. Okay. Well, basically I'm interested in developing it. developing in my creative capacity. I've worked as a musician and experienced altered states of consciousness while playing music. Drugs don't count. They don't even need them. I'm working on sculpting now, so. Oh, great. Okay. All right. Thanks. I recently had a very strong and I recently had a very strong and energy merge with the... Yeah, with the energy that I'm working with. So I think that this will help me just bring it on through. Okay. Great. Yeah. I wanted to learn about it so I could access information for me or others who need it. And I don't know if I would want to be a vocal channel on that. So we'll see. Okay. Do you want to go back? Is Chris back there? Yeah. You want to stay back there? Is that where you want to be? Yeah, I like this chair. Okay. All right. I've been channeling in a lot of different ways since I was a child that I never really understood. And I always felt like there were beings or entities or something that were always trying to communicate with me. So I just like to be better at that and, you know, to be able to open up my channels more. Okay. Thanks. Bring the mic on forward. Mike on forward. You know, I knew you were going to ask this. Well, you're psychic already. Well, no. And so I was trying to really analyze why I wanted to go to this class. And I've always been interested in anything metaphysical, almost drawn that way. But I would read books on channeling, and I'd think, and I'd almost envy people in California because they'd always have those groups to go to, and there weren't any in Las Vegas. So I was just so excited to be a part of this that I don't know what's going to happen, but I just am really glad to be here. really glad to be here. I guess I'm here just to better myself. That's about it. I have no other expectation. There's nothing wrong with that. It's always been very exciting to me, and I do a lot of healing work.

weren't any in Las Vegas. So I was just so excited to be a part of this that I don't know what's going to happen, but I just am really glad to be here. really glad to be here. I guess I'm here just to better myself. That's about it. I have no other expectation. There's nothing wrong with that. It's always been very exciting to me, and I do a lot of healing work. I think it would help me to expand my energy, to give me more focus, and just be more creative. Great. Thanks. I think what I'd like to do is just be able to access access positive and good information for myself, mostly, and then I would really love to be a writer and have some really positive energy come through in writing. Okay. I just wanted to find more clarity and answers that I have and just in the messages that I receive kind of maybe a monthly basis and just try to open my understanding of those. I think you're subscribing to some kind of an etheric newsletter. You get every month? Okay. Yes. Well, I'm also following my excitement, and I've been pursuing the healing arts, and I wanted to expand the channeling, perhaps, help other people myself with that. And I'd like to be able to control things that do happen already along these lines and then all of the above. My very first experience was learning about Edward Casey, and when I read much about Casey, I always was infatuated with how did he do this and over a period of 25 years, I guess I looked here and there. When this came up, I just said, okay, now I'll meet my guy. Okay. Yes, I'm just kind of excited about the idea of channeling. It seems to be like a natural progression of maybe in the last 15, 20 years, studying some of these metaphysical ideas as channeling seems to be, you know, exciting, seems like it would be fun, natural, progression and also in playing a game that I've played over the years, I've sensed the idea, especially when I was more intense, more hours per day at it. I've definitely had the altered state experience, you know, didn't have a label for it back then, understand from what I've learned in the last several years, especially, that this would be a form of channeling, and was excited by that change at the time, and so this whole idea is exciting. I do feel pain in my neck and some, my arm, stuff like that. And I had some conversation already with an entity, and I'll tell for this later. I don't think it's... Great. Thank you. Thank you. I... I would like my channel to be open and clears that I may better enhance my life and those that I may better enhance my life and those that I interact with. Okay. Thank you.

exciting. I do feel pain in my neck and some, my arm, stuff like that. And I had some conversation already with an entity, and I'll tell for this later. I don't think it's... Great. Thank you. Thank you. I... I would like my channel to be open and clears that I may better enhance my life and those that I may better enhance my life and those that I interact with. Okay. Thank you. I've been clear of audience for about four years, and it's revolutionized my life. It's completely reversed the spiral that was headed in one direction or another into one that has been so fulfilling and so enriching, that I've become almost committed to the idea that any way we can expand this naturally innate gift that all of us possess so that more of us use what's natural to us in a coherent way, any way we can do it. that, any kind of format that we can create to encourage it, I'm 1,000% behind it. And this, your work has always really resonated with me. I've always felt very trusting of it. And to have you do more of this in Las Vegas is really the primary goal in my end of things, is to see you do more work that, in a larger way. Yourself. Yes, true. And my own gains. My schedule is going to change. My own gains, of course, comes with every time you're in my presence, so. But this is what this is. for us so you can learn to do this yourself. Yeah, and I'm just very excited for the growth of it in the town. Okay, great. Thanks. Thank you. Let's go ahead and hand that back, so nobody has to hold on to that during the rest of this. Okay, now I'm going to ask a series of general questions that you need to answer just within yourselves and have these discussions within yourself, you know, in your own time. We're not going to go around and do this, but these are just things. do this, but these are just things that you need to think of and to consider, and I'm sure that this is nowhere near the list of all the questions that need to be asked, but we're going to do some of these. And that is things like, ask yourself, this is in and of itself sometimes an interesting exercise, so you may want to play with this one, and the answers that you've just given in that you have some degree of certainty about the direction that you think you're going in. The first question is, how do you know that? Okay? How do you know that's the direction you want to go in?

some of these. And that is things like, ask yourself, this is in and of itself sometimes an interesting exercise, so you may want to play with this one, and the answers that you've just given in that you have some degree of certainty about the direction that you think you're going in. The first question is, how do you know that? Okay? How do you know that's the direction you want to go in? This will help push you deeper into where these knowledge, pieces of information, where this feelings come from, and that's part of the first level of exploring what's going on here and opening up a conduit, is to actually make a self-referential question. Now that you've made a statement and you've heard yourself make it, this is what I'm here for, here for, this is what I want to do. Ask yourself, how do you know that? Also, now, and this can be taken in both a positive and negative way. What do you expect to happen? Knowing that there's a negative expectation and also just the positive idea of, what do you want? What do you want to have happen with this? As your idealized vision or picture of what you think this is for? good one. Are you all right with feeling silly about the way this might come through? Because sometimes these things come through in really unexpected ways, and sometimes you may feel very silly, but you're going to realize you've got to let it out. Okay? And on that note, same note, are you okay with feeling different? And I mean, in this sense, different from what most people typically think of is supposed to be normal. normal. In many of these cases, not that every form of channeling, you know, stands out as being that different, obviously, but some cases you don't know how far or fast you're going to go with some of this, you may have to get used to the idea that people are going to look at you differently. And you have to be okay with that if you want to let this continue. Are you aware of, to the best of your knowledge, and ready for whatever you deem to be the responsibility? that goes with channeling, whatever that means to you. And again, it doesn't mean burden, doesn't mean blame, but the responsibility, because there's a responsibility and the consequence to everything that you do. So are you aware of and ready for the responsibility that you believe goes with channeling? And again, some of these questions will be maybe more germane to certain types of channeling than others, but I'm going to ask them. You never know where you guys are going to wind up. Are you willing to travel or even relocate if that's the direction your channeling excites you to go? Obviously, when you do find something that's exciting to you, usually you don't have a problem following it.

believe goes with channeling? And again, some of these questions will be maybe more germane to certain types of channeling than others, but I'm going to ask them. You never know where you guys are going to wind up. Are you willing to travel or even relocate if that's the direction your channeling excites you to go? Obviously, when you do find something that's exciting to you, usually you don't have a problem following it. But sometimes it may surprise you as to what your excitement is, and you may hesitate, and you may wonder that you really want to do this or not. You may find yourself questioning it at that point. So be ready to realize that it may make profound changes, not only in just your personal behavior, But in your entire environment and where it is you need to wind up in order to do whatever it is you really need to do. Some people will find that they can only do the thing they want to do in certain places, and that means maybe you have to go there, trusting that that will work if you do. Are you willing to do the channeling for its own sake without needing others to accept the information or even believe in channeling at all? Are you doing it just because this is who you are? There should be no other reason. And, in some senses last, and maybe most importantly, because this is the whole process itself. Are you willing to change? Now, I'm going to cover just a few questions that are more business than personal? And again, some of this, most of this, has to do with the idea of going into vocal channeling. but again, you never know. Are you, first of all, interested and willing to do this professionally? Because that could come up, whatever it is, whatever form it takes. Are you comfortable charging for your service? Why or why not? You know, one of the typical old arguments that, you know, you hear, maybe you don't hear, maybe you don't hear so much anymore, but that used to come up, is someone would hear a channeling, and they would come up and they would, you know, very angrily say, why are you charging for this? This information should be free. Everyone should have it. Well, that's true. The information is free. Get it yourself. They are not paying for the information. They are paying for the fact that they are not allowing themselves to get it and want you to provide the service of getting it for them. So please don't be confused by that idea that the information. is supposed to be free and that means that you're not supposed to charge for providing a service. Okay? It's a little weird catch-22.

So please don't be confused by that idea that the information. is supposed to be free and that means that you're not supposed to charge for providing a service. Okay? It's a little weird catch-22. What is your understanding of what is that's a, what is that's a, uh, is that part of the, uh, just the, the, the fan or a phone, or, or it's a tape? It's the tape. It's channeling. It's way ahead of us all. Okay. What is your understanding of copyright law with regard to the information that you might bring through? For people that'll go that far, I'll explain it in a sentence. Since 1978, copyright law clearly states anything that is fixed in form as soon as it is originally copyrighted, is automatically copyrighted and owned so long. by the person who originated it. So anything that all of a sudden is on tape, written down, any form that is fixed, you own the copyright. That's it. You own all the rights. You have to, in writing, license them specifically away. Okay? Every single right is its own legal right. In other words, if I, like this, make a tape. As soon as it's on. On the tape, it's copyrighted, I own it. If you come along and say, I want to publish your stuff, okay, I can license that right to you. It has to be done in writing. I have to sign it, you have to sign it. However, if I do not also license the right for you to distribute it, you can only publish it. You can't distribute it. One thing does not automatically lead to the next. Copyright law has very specific statements about every single process of the dissemination of information, and every single part has to be licensed completely separately in writing. Verbal does not count. There is no such thing as the granting of a verbal copyright. It doesn't exist. Are any of these questions either uncomfortable, or are they bringing up any issues or fears within you? That's something also to look at. Okay. Now, before we go to the first exercise, which I myself will conduct, we'll take just a few minutes now just to see, are there any specific questions that any of you have for me in terms of exploring the whole concept of channeling anything that right now you're a little uncertain about or want to talk about briefly or feel you need to ask in order to go ahead? So basically... Mm-hmm. I'm wondering if it's practical or available, that when we are in these exercises or meditation, Mm-hmm.

just a few minutes now just to see, are there any specific questions that any of you have for me in terms of exploring the whole concept of channeling anything that right now you're a little uncertain about or want to talk about briefly or feel you need to ask in order to go ahead? So basically... Mm-hmm. I'm wondering if it's practical or available, that when we are in these exercises or meditation, Mm-hmm. For Bashar to perhaps, like if there are a certain amount of us, or even just me in particular, that is maybe not doing it to the best of our particular, that is maybe not doing it to the best of our ability or didn't get the instructions, the instructions to understand or... Well, I'm hoping that he would be able to plug in to what we are doing. Yes, he will. And help make changes and... He will. I mean, remember that one of the primary things that's going on in the channeling, especially this kind of channeling as he does it, is not only are you hearing the translation of words, you're actually receiving energy. Match that frequency is what you're being asked to do. The feeling you get of him... is the energy you need to match to become like what you imagine he is. If you will match that stage, you will get everything you need to get in exactly the way you need to get it. That doesn't still even yet mean that you may not walk out of here with a little bit of confusion, but the idea is that it will be planted within you. As long as you're doing the best you can, everything will be retained and will come out when it needs to. That's another thing you don't need to worry about. You're here. It is assumed. that if you're in any way, shape, or form, paying attention, you will get what you need. And if you need to get the rest of it later, you will, as benefit, you have the tape. You can play it again. You can just go over it in your mind. You can just practice. And again, it's like playing the piano. You'll get better as you go along. And you'll know that you've got everything. Yeah. When you go on the altered state and then come out of it. Oh, thank you. When you go into the altered state and then come out of it, how do you absorb the information? Is it? receive the information as direct telepathic understanding of a concept. Not the specifics of necessarily the words. For me, it's like a daydream. In the same way that if you are focused on some kind of a daydream, you're having a picture. Sometimes I will get abstract or concrete pictures of what's being talked about that represent the symbology.

altered state and then come out of it, how do you absorb the information? Is it? receive the information as direct telepathic understanding of a concept. Not the specifics of necessarily the words. For me, it's like a daydream. In the same way that if you are focused on some kind of a daydream, you're having a picture. Sometimes I will get abstract or concrete pictures of what's being talked about that represent the symbology. And if you were focused so strongly on the experience of the daydream, that somebody walks in the room and goes, hurt, hello, and you just don't hear it. For me, it's like that. I get the essence of the concept. A good example of this is as follows. One time Bashar talked to someone about three different subjects that took in time one half of an hour. I only had one picture for the entire half an hour, and that was the image, the archetypal image of Ben Franklin's kite with the key and the electricity. The three subjects were the idea of the freedom of the spirit, The whole concept of electricity and the concept of knowledge, which was represented by the key. That one symbol made me understand telepathically all the principles underlying those three conversations that took a half an hour. But in one split second, that symbol said it all to me. And they understood it and didn't have to pay attention to the conversation. So that's how I experience that idea. So 14. years of the wisdom he imparts becomes your wisdom in his own way. Yes. To whatever degree my life needs to extract or, you know, access it. Because sometimes I can, you know, I mean, I can miss things, you know, and I may not be paying attention to this or that or realize that there might be a bit of something there that I've experienced from him that I could apply in any particular given situation. I mean, a ridiculous example of how easy it is to miss an obvious outlet is his idea of, you know, if you're following your excitement, You take advantage of every single opportunity that exists in your reality and take some action on it. That's representative of that. Some time ago we were attempting to advertise an idea or a project and let people know that such a thing existed. You know, we did everything we could think of to get the information out there. A friend walks up and says, did you put an ad in the paper? No. Stupidly simple and obvious. So simple, we didn't pay attention to it. didn't pay attention to it. But that is what got a response. And was the only thing we did that got the response. So, yeah, I can miss it. Yeah.

a thing existed. You know, we did everything we could think of to get the information out there. A friend walks up and says, did you put an ad in the paper? No. Stupidly simple and obvious. So simple, we didn't pay attention to it. didn't pay attention to it. But that is what got a response. And was the only thing we did that got the response. So, yeah, I can miss it. Yeah. In taking responsibility, in taking responsibility, if, well, maybe I'll give an example so you'll catch my trip, the, at times I've worked with detainees, and it would be become like a three-way conversation. And after I was finished, I wouldn't know how it worked. You wouldn't know how what? How it worked. Meaning? Meaning that while I'm with the person that's under hypnosis, I'm getting information that they're supposed to know that actually they're supposed to be telling me. So? Is that a form of channel? In other words... Yes, it is. And in the issue of responsibility, you always have to make sure that you are not taking responsibility for them in terms of giving them what you think what you think they should know, but really, really watching for signs that allow it to be all right or to know that you've been given permission to give them certain things. I mean, it's always fine to help, but many times you can actually hinder by giving someone something that you may think is helpful because you think from some lofty ideal that, well, they're supposed to know this and I'm supposed to tell them. And that's not all right. always the case. You have to have real discernment about when you're taking responsibility for someone as opposed to when you're being responsible to them. In terms of delivering that information. Now, in some senses, that's some of what Bashar does when he explains that when he has these conversations with us, he imposes a block on himself so that he will automatically not even have to think about stepping on our toes. If there's something that he is not supposed to tell us that would be an interference or spill the beans and some way that we don't want him to, he doesn't know the information. He blocks it intentionally, so he won't even flip and let it know what it is. He's always checking to make sure you have given him permission, real permission, to say some things to you that may be seen as taking responsibility for your duty to find those things out yourself. So that's a very, no pun intended, gray area. that you have to be very conscientious of at every given moment. But yes, you can experience that as a form of channeling. I have a lot of problems with that. Then the only way that I decided to break even, if you will, is to trust in that information and seek.

be seen as taking responsibility for your duty to find those things out yourself. So that's a very, no pun intended, gray area. that you have to be very conscientious of at every given moment. But yes, you can experience that as a form of channeling. I have a lot of problems with that. Then the only way that I decided to break even, if you will, is to trust in that information and seek. That's all I could do. Yeah, sometimes it can be that way. I mean, sometimes you are given information specifically for the purpose of delivering it to the person, or at least suggesting that it's something that they might want to feel. think about or consider, or did you look at it this way, or did you think about or consider this? You can also go from the premise that if you are having difficulty with that discernment, then make the statement. I will get no information, like Bashar does, I will get no information that is not appropriate to at least say that I've gotten. And therefore, you can impose the same kind of block on yourself that Bishar does, and that way, if you get something, then you know it's okay to at least mention as long as you don't put the expectation into it that they're supposed to pay attention. That's also the idea of taking responsibility. for someone that they've got to listen to you. So you can say, okay, from now and I know that if I get something, that means if I get it, it's okay to say, hey, you know, this was coming through my mind, what do you think? And if you leave it at that and then leave it up to them to decide what of that information they want to incorporate, then you have taken responsibility for yourself and been completely responsible to them without taking responsibility for them. The funny part about that scenario there is a lot of times when I would do it, after the night I just over and everything on the way home my wife would say, where in the hell did you get all that stuff? Sure. I just channeling. I mean, remember, we all already channel. We all already channel. This class is for the purpose of simply adding some perspective, some focus, in many ways even, like you said, you know, letting you know that you may already be doing it. And in many cases, I find that all people have to do is be reminded of moments in their lives when they have done it. And really, all you have to do is go back to that state. And everything that I'm going to tell you here today and everything that Bashar is going to give you as an exercise is actually all for that purpose.

you know that you may already be doing it. And in many cases, I find that all people have to do is be reminded of moments in their lives when they have done it. And really, all you have to do is go back to that state. And everything that I'm going to tell you here today and everything that Bashar is going to give you as an exercise is actually all for that purpose. Letting you let yourself be okay with remembering when you have done it, going back to that state, recognizing that that's your natural state, and that that's really all you have to do, and you will do whatever needs to come through perfectly. So that's... ...to go through this because it involves because it involves visualization, imagination. And again, please, don't worry, if you, quote-unquote, can't visualize. You all will get the information is to go through this because it involves visualization, imagination. And again, please, don't worry if you, quote-unquote, can't visualize. You all will get the information however you need to. I've had people, you know, and Bashar has had people, say, oh, you know, I can't visualize. individualize. And, you know, within moments, Bashar can prove to them that it's a very easy thing than they always do it. So, you know, don't worry about how it comes to you. How you get it is how you need to get it. If that needs to change, it will. So, just follow along and get involved in the actual exercise. Is everyone here? Is there someone in the bathroom? Do you know? Oh, okay. The tape's still going. Okay. All right. All right. Now, some of you may or may not even be familiar with this. This is an exercise that actually was created here on Earth in, I believe, psychology. But even if you've been through it before, it's different every time because we change. So if you're somewhat familiar with this, treat it as if you've never done it before because many things may be different. What I'm going to do is I'm going to take you through a series of visualizations of things that you will imagine. And I will not explain in any way or form at what it is you're seeing or what it is you should see. I'm just going to give you the most general suggestion about what it is that you need to look at. After we're through, I will go back and I will explain the general symbology of everything that we talked about.

you through a series of visualizations of things that you will imagine. And I will not explain in any way or form at what it is you're seeing or what it is you should see. I'm just going to give you the most general suggestion about what it is that you need to look at. After we're through, I will go back and I will explain the general symbology of everything that we talked about. The explanation will give you ideally some concept of how you function, how you see things, how you operate, so that this can give you some insight into how you interpret the concepts of reality and definitions, which will help you open up to the idea of receiving or making connections with potentially different interpretations of reality or using and acknowledging the way you go about things in a stronger, clearer way that may help you bring things through more easily. Because sometimes we can be confused about how we actually do things like. We may not know how we see things. We may think we see things in one way. This exercise may show you that you actually see things in a different way and actually prefer to do it differently than you may have been taught to think you do. So, everyone set, get comfortable, close your eyes, or whatever you want to do. This is called a walk through the forest. Okay? The first thing I would like you to imagine is simply a forest of any kind. whatsoever. Make it your forest, your favorite forest, of any kind. Once you have somehow in your mind a picture of this forest that you're standing at the edge of or in the middle of or wherever you are, I want you to see what time of day or night it is that you prefer it to be. I want you to imagine what the weather is, what the temperature is. Is it hot? Is it cold? Is it dry? Is it wet? Is it foggy? What is it? What feels best to you in this exercise? Once you have created the environment now in general, you have the forest, you have time of day, you have the type of climate. I want you to see in some way, shape, or form, some kind of a route or path that you will take through this forest. However you want to interpret that, it's simply a way, the concept of how will you be able to get to walk through this forest or go through this forest? Is there a path? What does it look like? When you decide whatever this path is, begin to move along it. However it is, you are moving along it. By whatever means you decide is best for you. Move along this path or start moving through the forest. As you are now moving, through this forest and also let any changes that seem natural adjust themselves.

walk through this forest or go through this forest? Is there a path? What does it look like? When you decide whatever this path is, begin to move along it. However it is, you are moving along it. By whatever means you decide is best for you. Move along this path or start moving through the forest. As you are now moving, through this forest and also let any changes that seem natural adjust themselves. Let the changes occur naturally. Don't try to hold on or fixate that it has to be one way or the other. Just let it be natural. As you move through this environment, the first thing you come to in the forest is some kind, some kind of a wall. What does this wall look like and what do you do? Do you do? If you have decided some way to continue through the forest, if you have. Don't force yourself to if you haven't. But if you have, the next thing you come across in the forest is a is a bear. What kind of bear? What does it look like? And when you come across this bear, what happens? And what do you do? Let yourself experience this. Let yourself experience this. Now that you can continue. You next, in your journey through your forest, come upon some type of key, either on the ground, what does this key look like this key look like? What does this key look like? What do you do? The next thing in your journey that you encounter in the forest, somewhere, somehow, however, that seems best for you, is a book. What does this book look like? What do you do? As you continue your journey, if you do, the next thing you discover is a coin. What does this coin look like? And what do you do? As you continue along, if you do, the next thing you discover is some kind of a box or container, what does this box or container? What do you do? What do you do? And what happens when you do it? As your journey continues, continues to unfold, you next come upon some kind of a cup or drinking utensil. What does this? this cup or drinking utensil look like. And what do you do with it, if anything at all? Proceeding further, you next discover some type of water, of water, body of water, of some body of water, of some type, some form. What does it look like? And what do you do when you come upon it? If you have gone if you have gone this far and if you have gone this far and if you continue And if you continue, you finally then come to some kind of a structure or dwelling in the forest. What kind of a structure is it? If it is even a dwelling, what kind of a dwelling is it? What does it look like?

And what do you do when you come upon it? If you have gone if you have gone this far and if you have gone this far and if you continue And if you continue, you finally then come to some kind of a structure or dwelling in the forest. What kind of a structure is it? If it is even a dwelling, what kind of a dwelling is it? What does it look like? What do you do? Do you do? If and only if you decided to go inside, if, if that is even possible, if that is even possible, what does the inside look like? How do you feel about it? What do you do? If you decided to do that at all? If you decided to do that at all. Allow yourselves to take it. Treat it as if you've never done it before because many things may be different. What I'm going to do is I'm going to take you through a series of visualizations of things that you will imagine. And I will not explain in any way or form at first what it is you're seeing or what it is you should see. I'm just going to give you the most general suggestion. suggestion about what it is that you need to look at.

The explanation will give you ideally some concept of how you function, how you see things, how you operate, so that this can give you some insight into how you interpret the concepts of reality and definitions. and definitions which will help you open up to the idea of receiving or making connections with potentially different interpretations of reality or using and acknowledging the way you go about things in a stronger clearer way that may help you bring things through more easily because sometimes we can be confused about how we actually do things like we may not know how we see things.

If and only if you decided to go inside, if that is even possible, if that is even possible, what does the inside look like? How do you feel about it? What do you do? If you decided to do that at all? that at all. Allow yourselves to take a deep breath and let it out. And let it out. Gently open your eyes and come out of the forest. Everyone back. Okay. Now, I get to tell you how psychologically twisted you all are. Okay. Now, here is generally, generally what these things represent. Obviously there will be different degrees of specificity based on your own person. on your own personal specifics. But in general, the forest itself of course simply represents how you view your journey in this life, what you think of basically being here on the earth in physical reality. So the kind of the But in general, the forest itself, of course, simply represents how you view your journey in this life, what you think of basically being here on the earth in physical reality.

your own person. on your own personal specifics. But in general, the forest itself of course simply represents how you view your journey in this life, what you think of basically being here on the earth in physical reality. So the kind of the But in general, the forest itself, of course, simply represents how you view your journey in this life, what you think of basically being here on the earth in physical reality. of forest that it is, the density of the forest, the sparseness of the trees, or the thickness of the trees, the kind of foliage, how green, how dry, whether lush, whether sparse, you know, all these things in general have to do with your particular attitude about physical reality, how you see it potentially, how you see it in your life, how you experience the idea of being here, what it means to you as an experience. The day, the night, in some senses, again, and this, please again remember, does not necessarily exclude the opposite, but whether you chose it to be day or whether you chose it to be night, in general means you may be having a proclivity toward the expression of either a more masculine, quote unquote, or feminine energy, day, masculine, night feminine, in terms of either more assertive, more receptive, more expression, more intuition, those kinds, you know, more physicality, more, you know, non-physicality, that kind of idea as to whether it is day or night in your approach to life energetically. The temperature, again, has to do with the idea mostly of the emotional temperament that you experience or feel that life represents to you, the idea of, you know, how dry, the idea of hot wet, the idea of cold dry, the idea of cold and wet, was it foggy, ambiguous, confusing, was it relatively normal, comfortable, easy to get through, that kind of idea in general, the emotional temperament that you believe life contains or you experience life to hold for you. The path in general, again, is sort of represented for the most natural way that you actually to make your way through life. Now, some people, when they say, when they hear this, okay, you know, pick a path. You'll find some people will not actually see any kind of a particular path, or they may see a dirt path, or they'll just be natural and they can just sort of get through the trees. Some people have just said, yeah, super highway, I'm in a car, boom, right? Okay, that's my way through the force. You can see that is how they are in life. They're just straight through, get out of my way, that's how they treat life. And so they've picked that kind of a path.

they may see a dirt path, or they'll just be natural and they can just sort of get through the trees. Some people have just said, yeah, super highway, I'm in a car, boom, right? Okay, that's my way through the force. You can see that is how they are in life. They're just straight through, get out of my way, that's how they treat life. And so they've picked that kind of a path. On the other hand, conversely, you can also have a person that says, well, you know, I'm really her, I'm in hurry, I'm in hurry, I'm in hurry, I want to get there, I want to get there, but when they pick their path, they pick a nice meandering, wandering, wandering path. That is showing you the way you would more naturally want to go through life. So whatever path you have chosen can be representative of either what you are doing or what you rather would do or what might be best for you. You have to decide here based on your own reflection and retrospect. about this exercise as to which one of these it means for you because there's polarity all through this but these are the general ideas of how to look at these symbols the wall represents in general how you treat obstacles in life some people will see just a small crumbling little wall that they have no problem getting over at all sometimes they'll see it as being sort of interesting like a ruin and they may want to explore it for a little while this may have this may be representative of your attitude for you know how you handle the idea of what you perceive to be some kind of an option obstacle. You fascinated with it? Is it no problem? Can you jump over it? Or is it a huge steel wall of China that's, you know, insurmountable? You can't get around it. There's just nothing you can do. Some people actually have seen themselves dissolve through the wall, no matter how impenetrable it is. So again, the idea of the wall is in general it represents what your usual first response or reaction is to what you perceive to be a challenge or an obstacle, how you deal with that, your method of dealing with that idea. And remember that in doing this, you can refine any of these things and change them to be more like what you would rather have as a response. By using these symbols and changing them, you can actually change your approach to these things and find that you can actually change how they affect you in life. The bear represents in general how you deal with fears in your life and the unexpected and the unknown, how it comes up on you. Again, some people will see like, you know, little cuddly baby bears.

like what you would rather have as a response. By using these symbols and changing them, you can actually change your approach to these things and find that you can actually change how they affect you in life. The bear represents in general how you deal with fears in your life and the unexpected and the unknown, how it comes up on you. Again, some people will see like, you know, little cuddly baby bears. Some people will see huge giant grizzlies that are about to devour them, anything in between. This usually represents, again, your first response or first reaction to the idea of, in general, what you as a being are capable of and potentially can use to relate to the idea of fears or how you do relate already to the idea of the unexpected and what you are afraid of. The key in general, represents how you treat the concept or how you view the concept of knowledge in your life. What's it worth to you? The key represents knowledge in general. Is it a golden key? Is it a golden key? Is it in the dirt? Was it hanging from a tree? All these add to the symbology in general of how you treat the value or not of the concept of knowledge or how accessible you believe the idea of knowledge is to you. The next object was the book. The book generally represents the concept of self-revelation or self-communication or communication in general. How you treat the idea of how easy it is to get ideas and information across, either to yourself or to others. How you value or not the idea of information. And again, when I say or not, that doesn't necessarily mean a negative. Sometimes information doesn't necessarily mean a negative. Sometimes information doesn't necessarily mean that much to you. In other words, you can say whatever you need to say. It's not that critical that you have to say it exactly this way or that way. You could be efficient about it and that could represent itself as a very streamlined little pocketbook or something like that, as opposed to seeing a big leather bound volume encrusted in jewels, which can represent the idea of valuing of information or on the negative it can represent the idea of spending too much time thinking that maybe you need to be ornate in describing things or you won't be understood. Again, you have to look at the symbol. for what it may mean to you, but the book in general is self-revelation or communication. The coin is generally representative of self-worth. Okay? What you believe your connection to the whole concept of your self-worth is, do you feel you are able to exchange yourself in this reality for value and so forth? And also, of course, the polarity of, you know, heads and tails, how you are able to exchange yourself in this reality for value for value and so forth.

the book in general is self-revelation or communication. The coin is generally representative of self-worth. Okay? What you believe your connection to the whole concept of your self-worth is, do you feel you are able to exchange yourself in this reality for value and so forth? And also, of course, the polarity of, you know, heads and tails, how you are able to exchange yourself in this reality for value for value and so forth. view that whole idea. The box or the container is generally representative of the idea of how you feel about gifts in life. Do you feel that life contains gifts for you? Or is there something there or not? Is it a treasure chest? Is it just a small container? Is it empty? Is it full? What do you do with it? Do you open it? Do you leave it there? This is your representation of the idea of receiving the gifts of the infinite. Are there surprises in your life in this way? Do you feel you receive gifts? in this way, packages, presence. This is all representative of the idea of packages and presence, either in the idea of being thrilled or surprised in a positive way or disappointed, let down in a negative way with regard to your ability to receive from the infinite. This is always a big one. The cup represents how you view love in your life. Now, again, there are positive and negatives even to the positive, quote-unquote, and negative images. Somebody might think, oh, well, you know, I saw this beautiful jewel-encrusted chalice, so I must hold love in high regard. Yes, that can be so. At the same time, that kind of a representation of love could also mean it's not grounded. It's too fantastic. It's too fantasy-oriented. It's not real. So you have to really understand that even a chalice can have positive and negative, and even a small tin cup can have positive and negative connotations. But it's how you view the idea and how you treat the idea of love in your life, your relationship to it. Relationships with others? Love in all its forms. Your relationship to it. Yes, of course, relationships, but also just the whole concept of what do you think about the whole process and concept of love and your ability to receive and give. Water, the body of water, pond, stream, river, ocean, lake, whatever it is, river, ocean, lake, whatever it is, generally represents your sexuality or sensuality in life. So the idea of, you know, whether you just walked around it, whether you stuck your toes in it, whether you dove in, whether you didn't want to come out, has to do with basically your relationship to the concept of how you feel about yourself as a sensual or sexual being. Are you comfortable, uncomfortable with these ideas of your own sexuality, sensuality, and that portion of your relationship to yourself and to others.

So the idea of, you know, whether you just walked around it, whether you stuck your toes in it, whether you dove in, whether you didn't want to come out, has to do with basically your relationship to the concept of how you feel about yourself as a sensual or sexual being. Are you comfortable, uncomfortable with these ideas of your own sexuality, sensuality, and that portion of your relationship to yourself and to others. The structure represents your basic view of what you consider the process of death to be or the end of your life. Where you think you're going to wind up, where you think you're going to go. Ultimately, transcendence in that sense, another realm, another reality. It represents the concept of death. If you went inside the structure, if you did, then that in and of itself is actually the concept of the afterlife. what you view the afterlife to be. The structure itself is actually the transition of death. The interior is how you view or relate to or define, in general, the afterlife of what you assume it's going to be like. Or whether you're even ready to experience that now. Sometimes people will actually not enter the structure. They'll just look at it. And that can either mean, again, positive, negative. They may be afraid to go in, or they just may simply know, hey, it's not my house. I don't live there. So that means in some senses they know that. They have a, you know, they're still living their life. They're not ready to enter that phase. They're not even looking at it. It's not something that they have to look at. It can be for, again, a positive or negative reason. Some people say, oh, yeah, that's my house. Some people say, hey, this is really familiar. To other people, it's totally unfamiliar. So this has to do with your concept of how you relate to death, how you relate to the afterlife. Okay? These, again, are generalities, but it gives you some idea of how you are composed as a, as a personality. This is specifically about the personality's view of life. It doesn't really have that much to do with your essential spirit, per se, except what you infuse into your personality from that. But this is more telling about the definitions, the components that you have been brought up with, how you look at these life symbols, how you relate to them, and to decide whether or not you like the way you relate to these things, or whether you really need to work on this and make some changes. in these areas, okay? So that's a walk through the forest.

you infuse into your personality from that. But this is more telling about the definitions, the components that you have been brought up with, how you look at these life symbols, how you relate to them, and to decide whether or not you like the way you relate to these things, or whether you really need to work on this and make some changes. in these areas, okay? So that's a walk through the forest. And in dealing with this, it'll help refine the tool that you are so that the more work you do in adjusting these symbols or getting in touch with why you picked, the symbol that you did, and learning to relate to it or to change it as you want to, will help you become a clearer instrument for any kind of new energy, because then you will be aligned with the symbols of yourself, how you see yourself in all these aspects of your life, and it'll be much easier for other energy to come and fit into who you've created yourself to be in a much clearer state. Does anyone have any questions about this particular process before we go on? Your structure itself was a tree. That, again, okay? That's fine. In one sense, the first inclination, I would say, is that you view death as simply a very natural thing and the natural outgrowth of the end of your life. There's no, in that sense, you know, it does not seem to you to be an artificial thing. It's a natural thing. Again, that could be the idea of seeing the balance. It could also be the idea of looking in a new direction with regard to the idea of abundance or your self-worth. I have the coin in a scale or... Had scales on it. Okay. Again, yeah, the issue of dealing with balance. and stuff like that. Again, you know, I mean, just like being the sign as I am of Libra, which is represented by the scales, that can either mean that you do live in balance or that your big struggle in life is to be balanced. So you have to decide for yourself, you know, which this is, you know, pertinent to. But in that the coin has to do with your own self-worth, you know, you're looking at that. Anyone else on this particular exercise? And I said I'm not the only one. I use my key to open up the structure. Yes, sometimes that let people use the key to open up a box. They'll use the key. to open up the structure. Right. And that in combination will mean, again, what the symbols are. Knowledge to you leads to an understanding of the concept and the mysteries of death. Knowledge leads to an opening up of secrets or presents or gifts. So in combination, yes, there are other meanings here.

to open up the structure. Yes, sometimes that let people use the key to open up a box. They'll use the key. to open up the structure. Right. And that in combination will mean, again, what the symbols are. Knowledge to you leads to an understanding of the concept and the mysteries of death. Knowledge leads to an opening up of secrets or presents or gifts. So in combination, yes, there are other meanings here. And it's always good to look at where you might have used these symbols in combination. Some people, right from the beginning, when they meet the bear, the bear will go with them on the journey. They won't leave the bear. behind you know right so you it's it's very important not only to understand each symbol but to see how they might have worked in combination together because that will be even more revealing of all the multidimensional levels of how these things work well again there are polarities to anything yeah watch out for the witch it can be yeah it can be the Hansel Gretel there might be like a witch hiding around the corner or it can be that you view it as your sweet reward at the end of life, you know? Or take a piece of it and eat it and see how you like it and see if you want to eat the rest of it or, you know, if right now would give you a stomach ache to go that far. I've used to the symbology of the forest. The forest itself is simply life. How you view being here in life, your environment in general, your physical reality. On the water, I walked over the water but feeling the water. But before you said the structure, the structure was already on the other side. Great. Great. That sometimes will happen very automatically, because this has been designed to take advantage of automatic archetypal representations in our psychology. So some of these things will automatically start to unfold for you, which is fine. Then you're just in the flow of it. I know, I know, I'm not here at all, but just the green metal was a wildflower. Again, there doesn't have to be any one thing or another, and that can be representative, again, of a number of polarities. You know, mostly it can just be that, you know, it's not time for you to really look at that in detail. You know, maybe it's not there yet for you. You know, the meadow is there implying that maybe someday a structure will be there. But for now, you're just looking at the idea of the place it ultimately will be, you know, someday. A nice place to build the structure. Right. So a nice place where, you know, at that point in your life, you will consider the idea of what death is for you and transition.

maybe it's not there yet for you. You know, the meadow is there implying that maybe someday a structure will be there. But for now, you're just looking at the idea of the place it ultimately will be, you know, someday. A nice place to build the structure. Right. So a nice place where, you know, at that point in your life, you will consider the idea of what death is for you and transition. And again, remember the death doesn't always necessarily mean actual physical death. Mostly, especially like in the tarot cards, it simply means an abrupt change in the death of the old person. So this can be. looked at not only as a metaphor for your actual physical time span of life and how you go through it, but also for any kind of change you make in life. Go through this whole process for any area of your life and see how all these things relate to that specific concept. And where you come up to the idea of transition will, like, again, a tarot card reading sometimes, symbolize how you will deal with this particular situation in your life and how you go beyond it. Okay? Yeah. a cut, but what I, it was, was it was made out of flower tunnels. Okay. And then it sort of transformed into green leaves and it depended on what angle you looked at it, it kept changing. Right. Again, something along that line is, this is, again, a generality, but similar to what Bill did with the tree, in that love represents to you a very natural thing. It comes from nature, comes from the things that are in your environment around you. It's not to be treated artificially in that sense. It is a natural. outgrowth of your environment. So that could be one way to interpret that, you know, just as an idea or suggestion. Let's go ahead and take a break, the, which about, you know, say about 10 minutes or so. The next thing will actually, we'll let Bashar come through after just a very brief introduction to take you through some exercises. Yeah, see, some people will also take the cup, and they'll keep it with them, and they'll use it when they get to the water, and fill it up. Some people, the cup will already... It's, there's no real reason to go into that because not everyone here has done it. But the Council of Nine Codex, Bashar came up with this thing at one point that is a square of nine squares that has to do with body, mind, and spirit, past, present, and future in each category. In terms of suggesting this as a tool that people could use by meditating on it to focus them into the ability to tap into their own counsel energy.

that because not everyone here has done it. But the Council of Nine Codex, Bashar came up with this thing at one point that is a square of nine squares that has to do with body, mind, and spirit, past, present, and future in each category. In terms of suggesting this as a tool that people could use by meditating on it to focus them into the ability to tap into their own counsel energy. But we can go into it as far as having just mentioned it and saying that this is any, this is one of any number of tools that people can use to spur their imagination to help it, you know, help them make it a little easier to get in touch with whatever concept they might be dealing with or however they want to express a particular connection.
