I recently posted about having a Bashar consult, and now this post will highlight my takeaways. Thanks to all who gave suggestions/advice. I should note I won't be able to write down the exact way he worded his answers, as I believe there is too much content there for a post, but I will be using chatGPT to summarize the key points from the transcript. 1. What makes a strong and resilient intentional community? Bashar: A strong community requires a singular vision, purpose, and clear communication. The community should be built on the idea of being of service to humanity. Collaboration, creative imagination, and shared passion are essential. Ensure everyone involved is excited about the community's goals. If someone is not vibrationally compatible with the vision, bless them and let them find their path. Different people can contribute in unique ways, but there must be a cohesive vision that drives the community forward. By maintaining clear communication and focusing on service, the community can remain resilient and aligned with its purpose. 2. How did figures like Newton, Tesla, and Einstein access exceptional creativity? Bashar: These individuals intuitively followed the formula of acting on their passion. They remained open to possibilities, didn't judge themselves by others' standards, and served humanity with their unique gifts. They didn't limit themselves by others' judgments and allowed their creativity to be fluid and flexible. By acting on their passion exclusively, they operated on high frequencies, which allowed them to download information and achieve exceptional creativity. They were driven by their passion, which was their only choice, leading them to groundbreaking discoveries and innovations. Their ability to stay open to receiving from the universe and their commitment to their passion enabled them to reach extraordinary levels of creativity. 3. How do figures like Jesus and Buddha fit into this understanding of creativity and potential? Bashar: Jesus and Buddha demonstrated the potential within everyone if they align with their true self and vibrational frequency. Jesus sought equals, not followers, and the second coming refers to the awakening of Christ Consciousness within each individual. Similar concepts apply to Buddha nature and Krishna spirit. They showed that everyone has the potential to align with their higher consciousness and express their unique gifts. By fully aligning with their true selves, they became examples of what is possible for all individuals. They emphasized the idea that everyone can achieve a state of higher consciousness and manifest their unique abilities. 4. Can you explain the concept of "effortless effort" in relation to following one's passion? Bashar: Effortless effort refers to the flow state achieved by following the five steps of the formula: acting on passion, taking it as far as possible, having no assumptions about outcomes, staying positive, and examining beliefs. This creates a path of least resistance, where actions feel effortless, and synchronicity brings the necessary support and opportunities. When you are in alignment with yourself, there is no resistance, and actions feel natural and easy. Challenges become enjoyable and part of growth, making the effort seem effortless. This state of flow allows you to accomplish much with ease, as you are going with the current rather than swimming upstream. 5. How does solipsism relate to the idea that we are all that is? Bashar: Solipsism views conscious experience as the only reality, which is true from one perspective. However, existence is both individual and collective. Each person's consciousness is part of the whole and contains the whole. This dual nature means that solipsism is only one side of the truth. True understanding requires recognizing both the individual and collective perspectives, acknowledging interconnectedness and the completeness of existence. The idea of Indra’s net, where each jewel reflects all other jewels, symbolizes this interconnectedness. Solipsism leaves out the other side, but recognizing both perspectives provides a more complete picture of existence. 6. Is it possible to go beyond belief and perceive truth more deeply? Bashar: Yes, this is called knowing. Knowing transcends belief and is reflected in actions without doubt or hesitation. When you know something, you simply do it. We share knowledge from experience, describing the structure of existence as we see it, rather than presenting it as a belief or philosophy. Knowing is an absolute experience of truth, where there is no need for contemplation or doubt. It is the state where your actions align seamlessly with your understanding, and you operate with certainty and clarity. 7. What is the best way to dedicate one's life to growing consciousness? Bashar: Follow the five steps of the formula: act on your passion, take it as far as possible, have no insistence on outcomes, stay positive, and examine and release negative beliefs. This self-perpetuating principle ignites tools and effects that support growth, synchronicity, effortless effort, and abundance. It simplifies the process, allowing for continual expansion and alignment with one's true self. By following this formula, you create a self-guiding mechanism that continuously supports and expands your consciousness. This approach ensures that you remain aligned with your true self and experience growth in a natural, effortless way. Bonus: He also said the US and some other countries have alien spacecrafts.

I can accept this. What I don't understand is how you find meaning in helping/teaching others if you see them as illusion/imagination.

So are you the other lucid dream character telling me to wake up? Also I think Indra’s net as an analogy could still work with the solipsism you describe. Only the infinity of jewels is just contained inside you. You are Absolute Infinity but you experience other Absolute infinite parts of yourself.

No, I didn't. The bonus UFO question was all I asked. Thanks! From what I remember in his talks, he calls meditative states or psychedelics "permission slips" that allow you to experience certain Truths nested within the framework of a particular belief system. They are not absolutely necessary for you to awaken to Truth but they are means from within physical reality that allow us to peer through the veil of our own belief systems. Yes, of course. Right now, I just know I am in a very early stage of this journey. I didn't even know about your content until 10 months ago, which opened a rabbit hole. I am doing my best to explore and engage with all the teachings along the path while keeping an open mind and not becoming attached to one particular way. I like Bashar's style of presenting ideas and I have found the concepts helpful, but I see them as elements that will help form my journey towards Truth rather than the Truth itself.

I found it to be worth it. I listened to a lot of his YouTube videos, but actually having him speak to me directly was a completely different energy. Hearing someone online give advice to someone else doesn't have the same effect as them saying it directly to you (especially over a call), even if the words are the same. He told me that I am enough and I should not compare myself to anyone because I am unique, with metaphysical arguments for why that is so, and I have been uplifted since then. He also poked my ego a few times which was frustrating at first but I was grateful for it afterwards.

I got a private consult with Bashar. I already have some planned questions for him, but I am curious if any of you had advice on how I can maximize the use of my time with him.

Will come out with another post soon.

He said yes. He also said some other countries do, but not many. He did not say which.

$500. Steep but I felt it was worth it, I save money for these sorts of things. I will also note that his availability is super limited. When I originally went to the website, he was fully booked. I checked it every day for a month before getting the chance. When I finally did book it, which was back in May, the date he gave me was tomorrow. The next day after I booked the website said he was full until late October.

Do you intend your "Alien Mind" course to help bridge that understanding gap? When I hear you say it I feel like I understand. No amount of enlightenment or self-inquiry could give me the consciousness of an octopus, and that same logic applies to an Alien. Of course I know you mean something far deeper than this. If I want to start to understand Alien Consciousness in the meanwhile, where would I begin?

Anything by Alan Watts. Be Here Now Network has a ton of his talks in podcast form. I hear Eckhart Tolle's other book A New Earth is also very good.

I was doing research on intentional communities when I came across the project Vitalia. A village currently located in Roatán, Honduras where a bunch of biotech engineers, entrepreneurs, and scientists are attempting to “make death optional”. I was reflecting on this obsession with bodily immortality and wondering a few things. 1. Is this even possible? Is there truly a practical way to keep a body alive without major complications (I am highly skeptical) 2. If it is possible, why? At least for me, the desire for immortality in this body is just not there. Why do people desire this? 3. We couldn’t really achieve true immortality, we could always be killed in an accident even if we cannot die from aging. Imagine your son who has lived with you for 100,000 years gets hit by a flying car. Is this tradeoff worth it?

What do these distinctions mean to you? Direct consciousness of Truth vs speculation.

This is gold.

Btw, you suggested the book Diaspora in another thread. Fantastic read, thanks.

Recently, an epiphany hit me that has led to a lack of motivation and questioning of how to cultivate happiness. For context, I'm 22 and I started studying and applying Leo's teachings about 9 months ago. I did the life purpose course, have read some booklist books, watched at least a hundred hours of the videos. The material results have been really good! I have a much better sense of direction, I have a greater appreciation of mastery in others, and I am much more open-minded. However, another feeling that has arisen from all of these teachings (or perhaps has just been made more conscious) is that I am never doing enough. I can always optimize further, always read more books, always be more open-minded, always go more meta, and it creates an incredible burnout. It's like I have become my own slave. I had a job that I really did not enjoy while I started the teachings, and through some hard work as well as luck I got invited to work on a start-up with a friend I went to college with. I left everything behind in the town I had developed a strong social network in, thinking that this would cure my dissatisfaction with myself. For a while it did, but it has come back now. The goalpost got moved and now I am feeling constrained by this job as well. It is still not "exactly" aligned with my life purpose (for context, my life purpose is developing intentional communities to serve as incubators for new types of societies and ways of being) I tell myself. I do enjoy it more because I have the chance to be more creative, but my dissatisfaction just changed form. The content is different but the feeling is the same. I have this habit of always perceiving myself as below others, or as incapable, and that I have to work extra hard to make up for this lack I have. I have tried many material means of affecting this feeling. Life coaches, zen retreats, breath-work, contemplation, even finding a wonderful girlfriend who lets me be my authentic self. It is like a hydra that always grows new heads. I guess my question is, if satisfaction, or feeling "complete" does not come from any of these things, where does it come from? There is the cliche spiritual answer of "it is inside you". I do believe that is true, but my belief comes from no direct experience.

I found Actualized.org 6 months ago. Before then, I was seeking spiritually but felt overall very lost in life with little sense of direction. Today, my imagination and dreams are exponentially beyond anything I could’ve conceived back then. I’m getting coaches, working on a startup, and reading amazing books. I broke through so many barriers I didn’t even know I had, and I know it’s only the beginning. I just wanted to post my appreciation because you may forget sometimes how significant of a difference your content is making to some people, how my trajectory is now set on a course beyond what I knew was possible. You not only opened my mind but set me on my own course to discover my own insights and path in the world. I plan to make art, bring people together, and work to embody the universe as deeply as I can. I still have a ton to learn and honestly feel somehow more ignorant the more I tread this path. Thank you so much, truly. The work you put in to build this is not under appreciated.
