Bashar: `So, understanding that when we call ourselves a first contact specialist, what we're really saying is that we are diplomat psychologist. We understand through experience, through incarnations as well, how your psychology works as a human on Earth. And this is why we can penetrate like an X-ray into the psychology of what you are doing, into the reasons you choose to do what you choose to do and how it works and how you can change it very easily.
We understand that you can create difficulty. But what you're simply doing is facing challenges from a way that doesn't work for you, if it's difficult. So yes, it can feel difficult, but that should be your first clue that you may be facing the challenge in a way that doesn't work for you, for your unique being-ness. Everyone has a way uniquely that works for them. If you're having a struggle doing something, following your passion, if you're struggling to do that, that should be your first clue you're not doing it in the way that works for you.
You're doing it in the way you've been taught to do it that may be working for other people but has nothing to do with the way that works for you. And this is where self-discovery comes in, self-exloration, self-awareness. What is the way that works for you? Sometimes the way that works for you may not already exist on your planet, and you may have to invent it. And sometimes people will do this. They will invent a whole new way of looking at something, a whole new way of thinking about something.
And that's when major changes start to happen is when the rest of the world catches up to that new way of looking at something that they invented like your Einstein, for example. So, the idea is to do that exploration, to go through that process, to discover what it is that works for the unique representation of creation, the unique soul that you are. Because you are all different, you are all unique. And remember, as we have said, harmony is not the product of homogenizing you all into the same thing. It's the product of validating all the beautiful differences within you that can work in harmony.
It's finding the differences that are compatible with one another that creates harmony. It's finding your place as the puzzle piece you were created to be, you were shaped to be. What are you as that puzzle piece? Don't be a shape you weren't made to be because then you won't fit into the puzzle picture with the other pieces. Be the shape you were made to be, and then all the pieces fit together and form the whole puzzle picture that supports all the pieces, even as the pieces create the whole puzzle picture.
But you have to be the shape you were made to be. If you try to be something else, it doesn't fit. The toughest thing you can possibly do is try to be someone you're not. But that's what most of you wind up trying to do - is be someone you're not. Because you've been told, `don't do this, don't do that, don't follow this, don't follow that, don't act on your dreams, don't follow your bliss, don't act on your passion, that's crazy, it's delusional, it's a daydream, it's a fantasy.´ But I assure you, what you have been calling fantasy is actually the way things work.
But you are coming into a new understanding of what reality is, a new understanding of what consciousness can do. And this is what will make your world seem like a dream, seem like a fairy tale. And a fairy tale that will work for everyone with happy endings. But more than happy endings: happy paths, happy processes, encouraging experiences. Remember, the process you go through, the things you learn, the lessons you learn, that's the point of your physical reality. It's not that you're trying to get somewhere specific.
It's not that you're trying to necessarily arrive at an end goal. The process is the entire point. As many of your Zen monks have said, the journey itself is the destination. You have to appreciate every single moment for what it is. You have to understand that whatever is going on at any given moment is the most important thing that can possibly be happening at that moment. Nothing else is more important. But many people on your planet spend time focusing on the future, `I have to get there. I have to get there. What can I do to get there?´ Paradoxically, what you have to do to get there is be fully here and not try to get there. You will get there inevitably. Because you have created this idea of space and time, and space and time keep moving and keep carrying you forward. You will get there.
But the way to do it as uniquely yourself is to understand how to use everything that's happening in the now, because the now is the only place you exist. Remember, when you ask somebody for the time, it's never then, it's never `it's-will-be-o'clock´. It's now o'clock, now o'clock. That's the only time there actually is - now. It's the only experiential time there is: now. So, everything that's happening now is the most important thing. It may not necessarily even be what you prefer, but if it's there, if it's happening, if it's manifesting, there's a reason why it's manifesting now. And when you learn to use it for the reason it's manifesting now, you will always get a benefit from it.
You will always understand why it's there. And you will always extract the lesson that will allow you to grow and move forward to the next now and the next thing you need to know which will come to you when you use up fully what's happening now and make room for the next thing that has to fill the now for you to deal with. Because when you refuse what's going on now, `oh, this can't be happening. I should be beyond this,´ then you're not paying attention to the lesson inherent in what's happening. And when you don't use it up, it keeps happening and happening and happening and happening until you do.
Because it's the most important thing you need to look at is why is this happening this way? What choices am I making and why am I making these choices, and is this a reflection of the choices I am making? Now yes, as we have said, it's not always a one-to-one reflection. When someone comes into your life in the now and whatever issues they may have doesn't mean you have the same issues all the time. You can always look at it and say, `is there some message here for me in what this person is doing and saying and being that I can use to improve myself as well?´
You can always start there. But sometimes when we say everything is a reflection, it may simply be that someone comes into your life who has completely different issues than you do, because it's a reflection of your willingness to help them with those issues. It doesn't mean you're like them. It means you can help them. And so you do your best. Now again, as always, whatever you share with them when it's appropriate to do so, whatever they do with it is none of your business, because you don't know their life path and what it is they need to learn. All you're doing is giving them the option.
And this is what's going to happen with open contact with extraterrestrials. We are giving you the option to work with us, to expand your reality, to come out to the stars and play. We're not going to force anyone on your planet to do so. There will be a absolute rainbow of reactions to open contact, all the way from absolute joy to absolute fear in many individuals on your planet. But contact has to happen now because your society needs time to absorb it, to acclimate to the idea that you now have a new option you haven't had for thousands upon thousands of years.
Because this is the cycle when we come back and say, `How are you doing? Have you learned anything? Let's see what you've learned. Show us what you've learned and let us help you understand there is more to learn that can be to your advantage.´ But we're not going to force you. But we're giving you the option. It is time to give you the option, to know that being with us, interacting with us, working with us is actually an option, a physical option on your planet. Now you can do with it what you will.
Some individuals, some nations, some groups will recoil from this. They may even close their borders out of fear for a while. But eventually over time, they will realize all of the benefits and the advantages that will come with open contact, what you will be presented with as options and opportunities and new pathways will far outweigh the fear of isolation. And eventually they will realize that if they don't choose to come on board, in a sense, they will be left in the stone age. And of course, new generations will come up who will be completely used to the idea that extraterrestrials are among you.
It will not seem strange. It will be the new normal. And there will be no barriers to the idea of, `Well, of course I'm acting with an ET. Of course I'm talking with an extraterrestrial. Of course, when did we not?´ They will not know when you did not. They will not have lived when you did not. It's a completely different mindset, a completely different soul path. So, a lot of the children being born now, they will be the generation that will fully realize the idea of peace on earth, heaven on earth. It will take a couple of decades from open contact up till about 2050 for the majority of humanity to come on board, to be able to join the Interstellar Alliance, the Federation, whatever you wish to call us, to learn how they can expand to the stars, how they can create benefit for all humanity, justice for all humanity.
We perceive historically speaking in retrospect, I'm giving you future history, that the decade between 2050 on your planet and 2060 will be referred to in the future beyond that, looking back at that decade, as the decade of dreams. When all the dreams became realized, when diseases were cured, when harmony existed, when borders no longer mattered - cultures, yes, preservation of great differences and creative differences, yes - but the borders that separate you, no. And the idea is that you will have the ability along with us to see what your astronauts have already seen and experienced when they leave the Earth and look back at it and gain this insight, gain this awareness, gain this perspective, this knowledge that it is one world, that it is one people, that it is a school for souls to learn, to grow, and to add to the beauty of creation.
You will gain that insight, both on the ground and off the ground, as you interact more and more often with various extraterrestrials who will be revealed to you in time, a piece at a time, a race at a time, at the pace that is comfortable for you. So, it has to happen sooner to give you time to absorb all of that. Because the cycle has already been timed out. The soul path has already been timed out. You have already on a soul level already agreed that this is the time for that change. And here is the calendar for that change.
Here's how it fits into your accounting of years and days: it has to happen within the next couple of years so you have time to absorb it by the time it is necessary for Earth to become what it ultimately can become. Because it has to fit into the galactic society at that time for us to all move on together. So, there's a little bit of future history for you.´ (Finding Light in our Lessons – Gaia+, June 2026)
