V: We ARE the cat. [ cat falls off a table, screeches and runs out of the room. Startled uncontrollable laughter, trance broken and resumed.]

We are glad you are entertained. There is truth in our first sentence, in that, the cat, as all things, is part of the universal consciousness.

It is as likely that the cat holds the wisdom of all of the cosmos or universes, or eternity as it would be that some channeled energy would hold that wisdom. Perhaps in reflecting on this, one can bring themselves back to a certain balance, where there is understanding that there is no difference between something that one has decided is insignificant or beneath them and one has decided something is more significant or above them... by this reflection, one can see that inside lies the same wisdom……

The nice trick that you could extract from this understanding especially before it becomes complete understanding, because if it were you would not need a trick, would be to find that thing for which you feel the most reverent (reverence)...find that thing to which you give the most authority, breathe into the feelings that come with that reverence and sense of authority and understand that these feelings, this sensation could not exist without you.

In this way, you are automatically removing the focus from the object of your affection and placing it back onto the source in which it comes. Once that is completed, all of the attributes that you have attached to that wisdom, or authority, reveal themselves to be within you.

You are not able to have an experience that is not generated from within. This includes any mystical experiences, it includes relational experiences. It is inclusive of all that you see.

We heard talk of casual encounters for tonight and are open to talk with you about whatever you feel you would like to talk about.

Q01: Perhaps you’re aware of the conversation we were having on the idea that half, or some amount of the population of humans are ‘filler’ humans or extras can you expand on this? Is that true? Can you speak to this idea that we were discussing?

A: This would depend on what you define as human, because there are no humans in the way that you are thinking. Because human is a term, it is a label, or a category.

We would like you to think of a forest and the trees in the forest all standing and you walking amongst them. And there will be trees that are closer to your path and trees that are (farther,further) from your path. And the trees that are closer will have more detail and will seem more alive to you, because you will be able see the life that circles around them. The ants that make their roads to reach the fruits or the moss. And the trees in the distance may perhaps even be shrouded in fog. It is the same with humans, so for each of you, there are trees in the distance that do not need to be rendered in the same way, for your experience and yet, should you approach these trees by changing your course, the natural mechanisms of your consciousness will render these trees with more detail.

The memory that you have of the tree with the ants on it, at that point, will only be a memory, because you have changed course, and now, you are in front of the new tree. You must understand that the tree, now in the distance - the original tree with the ants - also has now lost its detail to your perspective, and so, what could be concluded from this comes back to one's own experience and how that is the *only* thing that can ever show what is real and what is not real, and if you want something to be real, you only need to walk towards it.

Our answer is Yes and No.

Q: Can I ask a question or would you like to keep expanding on that?

A: We have answered that question, you may ask.

Q02: I would like to unconditionally love my parents, can you give me guidance on what that would require me to do or see?

A: Yes, it would take you unconditionally loving them.
Q: (giggles)

A: What you believe about that term may be different than what we believe about that term. For what we believe about that term would require nothing. In fact, requiring something would negate that term.

Q: Would you explain what unconditional love is?

A: We are noticing insecurity in the vessel again and yet will make an attempt.

For us, the term is ‘the absorption of other as self without seeing.’ It does not require anything to change because there is no judgement. Without seeing.. there is nothing to notice to change. And, therefore, nothing that stops the perfectly ...united ...energy of love.

In a way, it would mean walking away... and... walking towards.

Unconditional love is possible when we see very clearly how the conditions we placed upon another are conditions we placed upon ourselves and so in the understanding that there is nothing to forgive or change, because nothing was ever wrong, we arrive at an opening to that frequency and the ability to feel it in our core.

But! It cannot be forced. You can not want to love something unconditionally and then ask yourself “Why can’t I love this thing unconditionally?” Because you are not loving yourself unconditionally!

For some, a stimulus will be external and for some it will be internal, on this topic. But unconditional love does not relate to one or a couple of people..it is something you allow yourself into and you trust yourself into and you love yourself into, and you will know that when you love yourself unconditionally it will be natural to love your parents unconditionally.

Because that would be who you are--erm-- That IS who you are.

Q03: Could you expand upon and explain karma for us, what it is, how it works, and perhaps how its been misunderstood?

A: The teachings of karma and the understandings that have come from those teachings are valuable and yet as all things, a teaching is a method of bringing from one state to another or one understanding to another, and should never be adopted as fact, for there is only One fact.

And so, if the teachings you have come upon, karma, are serving you, then they shall serve you, and if they do not, they should not.

But in those teachings, there is a very beautiful pearl of a lesson of ‘reaching Oneness sooner’. For as you treat others as you would like them to treat you, you understand, sooner, that they Are you.

And perhaps the fear, or misunderstanding, that have come up around karma, have been placed by beings that have deep desire that others learn Oneness. And so the distortions would be: to add fear, or negative incentive to something that does not need it.

Q04: I’d like to ask a question about transforming negative beliefs and how to incorporate my understanding of accepting what is and seeing my negative thoughts and foundational belief beneath them. And as Bashar says, we must see it no longer makes sense, and then it is released. Can you expand on that...or?

A: What is the question you would like to ask?

Q: What is...a helpful way to approach transforming negative beliefs?

A: It is already helpful to be able to see your belief system and see if it is serving you or not. There are no negative beliefs per sè, there are just beliefs that are serving or not serving.

And so it becomes simple to see something is not serving and to replace it with something that does.

This requires practice, perhaps, and a belief that is not serving one, may serve you. And a belief that serves you, may not serve someone else, and a belief that served you last week, may not serve you next week.

It is important not to get too attached to beliefs. It is then you can be spontaneous and flexible with the decisions that you make in your life.

We have no beliefs.

You are not a victim to any belief, emotion, circumstance...and we know that this choice of phrase can be triggering because when one feels wronged by emotion or belief or circumstances, there is the natural desire for compassion.

But it is that triggering that will lead you to understand that you are not a victim. To transform anything, the first thing to do is: See it as neutral. Because if it is neutral, it needs no transformation.

We believe [pause to see if the joke about beliefs has been received] we will leave you now as the vessel is not stable but we’ve had so much fun.
Good night.

Q: Thank you.
