Part 1
I didn't quite catch that. That's just what it's, it's felt like, like just... Just this growling, just... I've been having these, when I meditate. Very interesting sound! Yeah, that's why when you said that, when you were talking, it was just a little before. about animal sounds and sounds, and that's just been what's been happening to me. Well, how does it feel? It just feels like I want to just, like, climb all walls, and just, like, like, and just, I was like, and I need to do that. I can't, sometimes just want to, you know, and right now, it's like, I'm embarrassed. Oh, that's all right. It was a wonder. Now. Now. That energy, that energy, to what use do you wish to put that energy? Besides the growling. Um, uh, it'll be put in my performances and my theaters. Yeah, yeah. All right. And I'm sure it'll come when I start, when it'll, when it's time to come or something. Yes, yes, absolutely. And so, and so. Okay, okay, so, so I was laying in the bathtub also and... Stop. Just a reminder. Yeah. To all of you, one of the strongest meditation boobs you have. Your bathtub and or your shower How many times have you been inspired within them? Yeah. Yes. Okay, so I was made in the bathtub, and then that's when, and I had, you know, this, this, this green mala, mold detect, like, something, I can never pronounce these names of these crystals. Moldabite. Yeah. Okay. On my, on my, on my, on my brow here, and then a quartz on my, like around my heart, around my solar plexus. Okay. And then, and then in the medication. that's when, like, I saw my arms become, like, these paws. Yes. And first, I, my body, like, went to this angle, and I got the picture of this mountain lion laying on this big rock. And then I felt her. And then I looked, and my hands just, like, started going in, like, this paw shape, and I could feel from my shoulders to my arms, the hands, and the way it felt is a lion and everything. And, and then, and that's when I started, like, just doing these growls and all this stuff. all this stuff. And then since half of my ears were underneath the water, when I would make these, like, you know, I would take these sighs, like we were doing, going, ah, yes. And underneath the water, there's like these different levels, like you'll hear the uh, and then behind, like, about two or three, I'm talking about, like, from a feeling level, I got this image, this real pure sound like Abraham's bowls that I had that go, whoa, wah, wah, and so, and so. And so. And so. to very powerfully center and energize yourself. Okay. Yes. Okay. Okay. Oh, really? Okay. Okay. But see, I guess I'm trying to get it.
Part 2
these different levels, like you'll hear the uh, and then behind, like, about two or three, I'm talking about, like, from a feeling level, I got this image, this real pure sound like Abraham's bowls that I had that go, whoa, wah, wah, and so, and so. And so. And so. to very powerfully center and energize yourself. Okay. Yes. Okay. Okay. Oh, really? Okay. Okay. But see, I guess I'm trying to get it. There's something that's coming with this, with the fetish, okay? I got lost, I was driving down the street, I got lost, and I knew there was a reason I got lost, I looked up, there was this Indian museum. I went inside, and I had had a dream about an object, like a few months ago, and it was this side, it's profound in the dream. I couldn't identify it. I didn't know what the heck it was until I went in there and I saw it and I just like, oh, just, you know, okay, so. So? So? What? What is this? I mean, okay, I know what it is. What is it? It's just a power symbol. It is you connecting into many more aspects of your being. Both what you would call path life, spirit guides, your own center of power, the power, the purpose of your place from which you can come to do anything and everything you want to do. You're identifying with the power of your natural health, even as the animals do, even as you did when you connect it in other lives to the American Indian culture that knows that still, that can connect into that level of nature, into the very fundamental primal chord of existence, and from that center of being, can transform and create anything you desire. That's what you have discovered. Now use it in whatever way you want to. Do what excites you the most. You are in that sense, unstoppable. Yeah. I know, I just have to ask this one more thing. I'm convinced, are you? Okay. The other, okay, so I've been talking to these trees lately. Yes. And they really, you know, they talk, and I can feel how, like, I'll let it go so far where it's, like, comfortable, I still think I have some kind of mental control over it. And then. And then I'll let myself go to a point where I'll feel like my body doesn't feel disformed and I could actually, like I could feel myself crossing over a barrier or something like into this like non- Natural. You are all these things. All of you. You are all these things. Physical reality is made of your consciousness. You are all these things. They are you. They are. aspects of you, reflections of you, why should you not feel like them? You can be and are anything you wish. You will always be centered in whatever your intention is.
Part 3
feel myself crossing over a barrier or something like into this like non- Natural. You are all these things. All of you. You are all these things. Physical reality is made of your consciousness. You are all these things. They are you. They are. aspects of you, reflections of you, why should you not feel like them? You can be and are anything you wish. You will always be centered in whatever your intention is. You will never lose yourself. Okay. You will always know your identity. It is only a misconception on the part of what you have been trained to think. That the more you blend with the infinite, the more your individuality suffers. And that's not so. It's just the opposite. The stronger an individual. you become, the more you discover yourself in all those things. Right. Yeah. Does that help you? Yeah. So flow with it and use it at the individual you choose to be. You are never out of control. Even if you create a scenario that makes it seem as if you are, you're still controlling that. So play and enjoy and express and create. That's what you're there to do. Right. So have fun. Thank you. Thank you. One more. Within what you call the next three days, let's say the next three dream time. See what doors you have opened within this interaction and see what else comes that will accelerate you into an unexpected direction. Oh. Hello, Bashar. And to you, good day. I wondered if you could tell me when that special someone will come into my life. You mean that special someone or that special someone? Or what about that one? What about the one right there? The special soulmate. Special soulmate. Are you aware of some of the things we have already discussed about this idea? I'm not sure. All right. Do you understand what our definition of a soulmate is? I don't know. This is my first time here. All right. Mine too. In that sense, recognize every relationship, I will be brief. Every relationship serves a purpose. It's there for a reason. On the fundamental level, because you are always learning what you need to learn about yourself in any relationship and are being of service to the other individual in that relationship to allow them to learn what they need to learn about themselves to grow and change. Every relationship is a relationship with a soulmate on the fundamental sense of the word. Understand so far? Yes. Now, we know what you often mean in your society by the idea of a soulmate and that does exist. However, more often than not, we have discovered that in your society the attitude will you usually be as follows that if only you could discover your soulmate, then everything would be just wonderful, but not until then. Your physical reality is the product of your strongest definitions and your strongest beliefs.
Part 4
so far? Yes. Now, we know what you often mean in your society by the idea of a soulmate and that does exist. However, more often than not, we have discovered that in your society the attitude will you usually be as follows that if only you could discover your soulmate, then everything would be just wonderful, but not until then. Your physical reality is the product of your strongest definitions and your strongest beliefs. If you believe you are incomplete without that person, you will usually wind up only attracting someone to reflect your belief in your own incompleteness. When you know you are complete unto yourself, not that you will not change and grow, but as you are still a whole idea and your first relationship is to yourself and with the infinite. When you act in that manner and radiate that frequency, that's when you give off the vibration that gives someone else in your life that you may have made an agreement with to come into your life to reflect back to you as an equal the vibration you are already putting out. If you already shine as the brightest light you can, then someone on the same level, as a mirror, as all of you are to each other, can reflect that light back to you. The brightest light that can be reflected back to you can only be as bright as the light you are. Understand? I understand. That is what you typically call the soul mate. And it can exist in your reality. It doesn't always have to be a single individual, but it can be. Thank you. Oh, thank you very much. Shudy! Hi, Mishar. Hi. I know you've taken some time before in the past diagram your own scout ship. Yeah. And I know that we did a meditation once where we all went onto the mothership and went around and explored. Yes. But I wanted to know if tonight you would just take a few moments and just diagram a little bit one of the motherships and what the different sections are for. And I know that each one might even be different, but if you could pick one. Well, we will use the same one. used the same one we have used before that in your terminology would translate out into the name of the solar wind. Okay. It is approximately one of your miles in length, almost, just about. And the idea is it will be a cylinder in form, generally speaking, and will have many decks within it, but those decks are also, in your terms, cylindrical. A cylinder, within a cylinder, within a cylinder, within a cylinder, and so on. For approximately, what you would call, call 30 cylinders within. What this will be is that you can then circumnavigate the entire cylinder on any level all the way around. And then decks are a portion accordingly to different sections in that sense.
Part 5
generally speaking, and will have many decks within it, but those decks are also, in your terms, cylindrical. A cylinder, within a cylinder, within a cylinder, within a cylinder, and so on. For approximately, what you would call, call 30 cylinders within. What this will be is that you can then circumnavigate the entire cylinder on any level all the way around. And then decks are a portion accordingly to different sections in that sense. There are approximately what you would call three main engines that bridge all decks. One in the Senate and two, near either end. These are also cylinder or disc shaped in fashion. And in that sense, are cavernous, bridging all decks, what you would call a 60-deck cross-section. The idea, therefore, being that there are 30 cylinders, which means you have from the outer skin down to the center core, 30 decks, and then, of course, a repeat of the 30 decks, from the center core out to the other side. The center is where all the engines are connected, connected, and in the very center there will be what you would call a non-inhabitable space all the way through the central core of the ship that will be the drive mechanism in colloquial term. At either end, in also a cylindrical fashion, is what you would call, colloquially, your bridge at either end. In the very outer shell will be what you call the hangar bay for various scout craft that come and go. come and go. There will be the idea, once again, also of manufacturing of many of these scoutcrafts in that outer hull. Oh. The ideas also will contain in the outer hull many different forms of environment to accommodate many different life forms from many different civilizations. Why just the outer one? Because it is the easiest access. As a ship enters the hull, obviously the first deck they hit is the outer one. So they can then simply propel their craft right into an environment and step right out of their craft at home. Understand. Yes. Then, as you progress toward the center of the ship, you will find there will be many different levels and decks that are relegated to various forms of exploratory enterprise. As you would call it, research in that sense. There are also vast arrays of open space that are relegated to very park-like atmospheres, for we enjoy the idea of nature, and in that sense, bring it with us. The idea is also that there will be many levels simply for experiencing different environment to accommodate different beings, to shift from one environment to another, as they may choose to do. These might be called pressure chambers in a sense, although it is not exact as you mean the term. There will also be also be the idea of the communication stations that we have called in very, very colloquial terms, not literal at all.
Part 6
idea is also that there will be many levels simply for experiencing different environment to accommodate different beings, to shift from one environment to another, as they may choose to do. These might be called pressure chambers in a sense, although it is not exact as you mean the term. There will also be also be the idea of the communication stations that we have called in very, very colloquial terms, not literal at all. The communication stations we have turned the chapels in that sense, which are rooms, chambers of crystalline formation that allow an individual to be touched directly in with the infinite. There will also be what you would call amplification modules that allow individuals to tap into specific frequencies of different dimensions for the purpose of some of the channelings, as you call them, that go on in this form of communication. For do remember that the most natural receiver device is already living beings. The idea also is that certain other decks will contain many of the ideas that you would call leisure activity, in that sense, when individuals may simply play, and there are whole simulated environments in that way that individuals can't create simply by a connection to the main computer of their consciousness and can explore different realms in that way, almost as if they were literally, in your terms, physically, visiting those dimensions, able to exist in those atmospheres without actually existing physically within them. You understand? There will also be what you would call the Association Council Chambers wherein can be the projection of many different of consciousness to gather in meetings, as it were, to understand the ebb and the flow of the organization and the communication that goes on between the hundreds of worlds of the association. There will also be the creation of experimental, as you call it, environments. Environments we have not encountered, per se, but environments that we can create in that sense. To explore an experiment with the many ways that the universe can manifest. universe can manifest itself. Large and vast areas are given over to the creation of entire ecologies on the ship so that we may understand the full workings of any particular planetary society by literally recreating vast areas of their entire ecosystem. Would you have any Earth-like? Yes. You do. Yes. And on the solar wind, as on Esesani itself, there are a few dolphins. a few dolphins. There will be a few other ideas, a few other chambers whose purpose in that way will not necessarily be that easy nor brief to describe. Okay, this is sufficient. Well, thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Shirley! Yes, I'm coming. For all right. I'm sure. I'm Frankie. Hello, Frankie. Oh, that's right. I'm tall and I'm Frankie. All right. And I've just said, okay. Almost all of you are most probably taller than I am.
Part 7
a few other chambers whose purpose in that way will not necessarily be that easy nor brief to describe. Okay, this is sufficient. Well, thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Shirley! Yes, I'm coming. For all right. I'm sure. I'm Frankie. Hello, Frankie. Oh, that's right. I'm tall and I'm Frankie. All right. And I've just said, okay. Almost all of you are most probably taller than I am. They talk about how you teach best what you most need to learn and all of that. So I feel that perhaps relationships is the area that I've come in to have as an area of expertise. Sometime I hope in the near future. You what? I hope. Hope. Okay. That means you doubt? Apparently, that's probably one of the reasons why I'm asking questions. All right. Can you all hear this person? Speak louder. Speak louder. Okay. Be bold. The thing in my entire life that's excited me the most is the relationship that I'm in right now. All right. And by following that excitement, I found, like, some of the most incredible teachings in my life. Yes. and wonderful feedback. Yes. Now there are... What do you wish to do with that information? I'd like to be as clear as I can possibly be about it. Yes. So that I can have the clearest relationship possible and be able to share that with others. All right. Go ahead. And I feel like some clarity is still necessary. I still have... In what area? Okay. In the way that the relationship seems to show up on the seems to show up on the surface, there still seems to be some dichotomy in that it is the relationship that I want to have and would like to have for what I can see to be in eternity or through this lifetime. Well, Walwai? Different feedback from what he says it is to what I say it is, and yet not really different in the manifestation of the relationship. So I want to understand why there seems to be the dichotomy. I guess I want to know that the relationship is all that I have seen it to be and believe it to be. The relationship is anything you create it to be. In some ways, I must feel that I don't have all of the skills to be able to do that. Maybe. But what skills do you think you need, other than the living of your life? To the fullest. Well, I guess I feel like I want to have the clearest communication skills. All right. Can you imagine what those might be? I'm starting to think about it in terms of energies and kind of a knowing acceptance. All right. You mean a trust? Yeah. A knowing acceptance doesn't necessarily mean, however, that you settle for something you do not prefer. Right. Understand?
Part 8
need, other than the living of your life? To the fullest. Well, I guess I feel like I want to have the clearest communication skills. All right. Can you imagine what those might be? I'm starting to think about it in terms of energies and kind of a knowing acceptance. All right. You mean a trust? Yeah. A knowing acceptance doesn't necessarily mean, however, that you settle for something you do not prefer. Right. Understand? And that also means that you are willing to allow whatever changes do occur to happen. Uh-huh. The first, again, first relationship is with you to yourself. you to yourself. Right. Now, sometimes a single individual you may have made an agreement with to reflect the idea back to you for the duration of what you call your lifespan, sometimes not. Sometimes many individuals, sometimes both. It will depend. Well, I'm most interested in this particular one. Yes, for now. And it may be the idea that can manifest for the duration of the lifespan. Uh-huh. But first and foremost, if you know that is felt, then allow whatever is happening within it to be representative of what needs to be in the relationship, but only to the point where it is not in that sense an absolute polarization of what you prefer to experience in your own reality. Right. Okay. Well, it's somewhere in between right now. So I'm... Well, are you still learning? I am still learning. Then continue to do so, because that's what any relationship is for. Right. Plain and simple. And if you are going to be with this individual, I also... I also... as you say, for a long time, in your terms of time, then there are simply going to be the opportunities to learn many and varied subtle things. Yes. Enjoy the path. You are getting out of it at any given moment, obviously what you need to get out of it, if that's where you prefer to be. Okay. Well, one of the aspects that I'm curious about is how I can take action according to what excites me and still be respectful of whatever space that he might want to have in his life. want to have in his life. Do you trust the relationship? Still here. All right. Then in that sense, take whatever action represents what really excites you. But also at the same time, recognize that if another individual is not ready or willing to receive a particular communication from you in the way that you are ready to give it, then trust that that is also a part of the timing. Okay. Are there keys that I might have in terms of some of the aspects that I've been working with energetically to be able to understand better how to communicate in the moment, more lovingly, more respectfully, how to make communication over a distance even though the distance seems to exist?
Part 9
communication from you in the way that you are ready to give it, then trust that that is also a part of the timing. Okay. Are there keys that I might have in terms of some of the aspects that I've been working with energetically to be able to understand better how to communicate in the moment, more lovingly, more respectfully, how to make communication over a distance even though the distance seems to exist? And I don't have access to talking to him or seeing him every day or being with him all the time in that way. But you are always connected. Right. So are there keys to... to knowing that and utilizing the space to actually expand upon my energies or my ways of communication. One way would be to express yourself in many different ways as well. Uh-huh. Is there any other service that excites you to be doing? Outside of the relationship or within... As you mean it, outside the relationship. It will all be a part of the relationship. But as you typically mean it, yes, outside the relationship. Okay. Yeah, I would like to take all that I've assimilated and be able to communicate it to people. And I feel... Then as you do so, and as you form an outlet for communication in that way, you will continue to learn the things you need to learn to recognize the timing within the relationship more precisely. It must be expressed in both directions. Yes. Understand? Then it will be a full circle. Mm-hmm. So that's... That's where I should put my attention. I'm not going to tell you you should. That would be a good place too if I chose to. I will suggest that it will allow you to be more well-rounded. And therefore give yourself more capability of recognizing the timing on either side. Okay. Understand. I feel a little time pressured with the holidays because my sense or my excitement tells me that I would like to be with him during the holidays. We understand that. But also pay close attention. the idea that sometimes is a very fine line between the energy that you actually are honestly labeling excitement and when it becomes anxiety and desperation. Uh-huh. Because that's not really excitement, and you're being dishonest with yourself, if you call it that. Mm-hmm. Understand. So if I can get clear that it's excitement, then maybe I can have it. That's it. Merry Christmas. Thank you. Thank you, Bishar. Frankie! Shady! Shady! Good evening, Bishar. And to you good day. I came here to experience your wisdom. I've never been here before. Well, do not forget that you are experiencing your own. Thank you. But we are only a reflection of what you all already know. And every time to us is the first time as well. I did not put my name. I did not put my name. in to be selected and yet my name was called.
Part 10
Bishar. And to you good day. I came here to experience your wisdom. I've never been here before. Well, do not forget that you are experiencing your own. Thank you. But we are only a reflection of what you all already know. And every time to us is the first time as well. I did not put my name. I did not put my name. in to be selected and yet my name was called. All right. And the only thing that I can explain this to is that you had some communication that you wish to deliver to me. So that is my question. What is the communication you wish to deliver to me? Nope. It will be the communication you wish to deliver to yourself. Hmm. Now, we will begin once again in the form of the question. Are you? doing in your life what excites you the most? I'm searching for what excites me the most. When do you assume you might find it? Let me ask it another way. What would you really like to be doing if that you're not doing? Um... Have you ever had any kind of a fantasy? Well, a sadest... A satisfactory primary relationship. Satisfactory primary relationship. But as we have already said, that begins with you. Right. So, aside from that idea, in terms of actually being of service, doing something, what you typically call making a living, what do you want to do that you're not doing? I want to do. I want to... spread out, spread myself out to the point where I feel that I have a good relationship with myself. Yes. Okay. But how do you express it in your physical actions? In my physical actions? Yes. In terms of living a life of giving. All right. And does that excite you? Yes. All right. And does it allow you to feel in that sense that you are infinite abundant and can attract everything you desire when you really need it? When I'm living life that way, yes. All right. Are there times when you do not live life that way? We all do. I beg your pardon. I don't. Please speak for yourself. There are times when I am not constantly living a giving life. All right. Would you prefer to constantly be living a giving life? a giving life? Yes. Well, then why aren't you? What definitions do you contain that make it seem as if you must, from time to time, not live, in a full, ecstatic way? Interesting concept. Yes, I do. Do you want to discuss it now, or would you like to ponder it? Um... I guess. It's looking inward and when you start looking inward, you're not living a giving type life. Oh, no, no, no, no. Looking inward is the key. What must go along with it is doing outward. Looking inward and acting outward, with that inner knowledge. Even when you're acting on your own wants? Yes.
Part 11
Interesting concept. Yes, I do. Do you want to discuss it now, or would you like to ponder it? Um... I guess. It's looking inward and when you start looking inward, you're not living a giving type life. Oh, no, no, no, no. Looking inward is the key. What must go along with it is doing outward. Looking inward and acting outward, with that inner knowledge. Even when you're acting on your own wants? Yes. Why not? Okay. As long as you know that you are doing so with full integrity and that you deserve what you desire, then why not? Do you believe you deserve what you desire? Definitely. All right. Then do you believe you have a clear definition of what it is? You say you desire? Yes. All right. Do you really honestly desire? honestly desire it. Yes. All right. Is your overall intention clear in life? Your attitude, your approach? It's becoming more clear. All right. And are your actions clear? In other words, do you act upon the opportunities at any given moment that excite you the most that you are capable of acting on? Whether they appear to be connected to what you think you want or not? I think I'm getting to that point that I am, yes. All right. Then you are, in that sense, on the threshold of creating what we would call, in ship technology, a flashover. Where you can simply understand that any definition you believe yourself to be most strongly will be the reality you experience. Plain and simple. But that A, as you have already understood, the first relationship is with yourself to yourself, to the infinite, it, and then the idea of the relationship of yourself to all other beings equally. By allowing the relationship you are to all other beings to be equal, that is how you are able to consciously, clearly choose any particular individual that represents a reflection you desire to share. Many times when you place more importance on one particular thing, one particular thing that it deserves to have above and beyond anything else, in terms of devaluing everything else, then you do not create any quality that makes it easy for you to pick and choose because not everything is now on the same level. When the thing you really desire, even though the desire may make it seem to be more important, and even though that thing may be more representative of who you are, that doesn't mean that that desire, and that representation makes that particular idea or object or person, place, or thing, literally more important in a value sense to any other thing that could happen in your life. When you equalize everything, that's what gives you the greatest ability to choose anything you want. Because everything's on the same level, you don't have to reach very far to get it. It's all right here, right now, right with you, right within.
Part 12
desire, and that representation makes that particular idea or object or person, place, or thing, literally more important in a value sense to any other thing that could happen in your life. When you equalize everything, that's what gives you the greatest ability to choose anything you want. Because everything's on the same level, you don't have to reach very far to get it. It's all right here, right now, right with you, right within. You simply once again radiate an idea, and that's what you attract. But many times if an individual thinks they really need it, then they are placing an undue importance upon it. They are creating it to be a desperation, and that vibration is what keeps it at bay. Understand? Yes. Is this being of assistance so far? I think it's great. Now, the idea of this primary relationship, what do you imagine it would be like? I've given up the idea of projecting ideas. I'm just, I'm at the point where I've stopped projecting... Why? I've stopped projecting ideas to the point where I'm reaching out for one specific thing. Well, you can still do that. All we are saying is do it without invalidating everything else. Okay. Do it, recognizing that it may be your preference. By all means, allow yourself to project. But what do you define the idea to be? How do you define primary relationship? Well, I'm looking for a relationship that would, looking for someone who would be an inequal, a reflection, as you say. Yes. A reflection of what? What would they be reflecting to you? Well, someone to share a life with. Yes. What would you be learning about yourself in that? in that interaction? What I don't know. Which is what? I can't say what that is now. Oh, all right. Fair enough. If I did, I would know. Ah, but you see you do know. You do know. On some levels, you do know. Right. In general, though, we are not asking you for specifics. In general categories, what would you be learning about yourself by being in a relationship? being in a relationship. Would you be acting differently in that relationship than you are acting now? Depends on the interaction. Probably not. Well, of course. But depending on the interaction, that would be growing. Yes, of course. You're always going to do that. Right. But let's say right now, let's say you were in that relationship, what would the differences be? The differences be? I would probably be living with. life, at least at the present, on that constant, exciting level that you were talking about. All right. Then live that way now, and you can attract the relationship more easily. Good. Because if that's the way you will be in the relationship and that's not the way you constantly are now, be that way constantly, and the relationship cannot help but be attracted into your life.
Part 13
differences be? I would probably be living with. life, at least at the present, on that constant, exciting level that you were talking about. All right. Then live that way now, and you can attract the relationship more easily. Good. Because if that's the way you will be in the relationship and that's not the way you constantly are now, be that way constantly, and the relationship cannot help but be attracted into your life. Because if that vibration is representative of what the relationship is, then be that vibration. And you'll have it. Live life passionately every day. Yes. As we have said, the most important thing of all is the thing you're doing now. Thank you. Well, thank you. Live in the now. Live in the now. It's the only time there is. It's the only place there is. Right here, right now. When you live in the now, anything else that's going to happen in your life won't have any other place or time to happen in except now. Because you will not create there to be any other. there to be any other place or time for it to happen in. Planned dreams to you. Thank you, Bashar. Well, thank you very much for allowing us to share and interact in a spontaneously created way. At this time in, and with much joy, you may all participate in a short break. We will resume contact in approximately 10 to 15 of your minutes. How's it going? In the other room. Thank you.
