Bashar: Pursuing excitement is a line connecting the higher self and abundance

Q: You have often talked about 'integrity' being a crucial point.

B: Yes.

Q: And all my life I have been raised with a lot of love and caring, and my soul is filled with it. I'm very moved when I see people being kind to others and caring. But my life in the last few years has been very hard. I mean, it's been so hard.

B: In what sense?

Q: Seeing the people that I deal with. They are so cold-hearted and hard. They're cmel and callous and shallow.

B: And that's been hard for you? Is that what you are saying?

Q: Yes, it's been very hard on my spirit. I've tried so hard to retain the abilities and qualities of caring that my parents gave me. And sometimes it's very frustrating seeing the real world and the people I'm involved with. I would like to change my perspective and change to a higher state of being.

B: Alright. Go ahead.

Q: Alright, I want to know how. I listen to your audio tapes and stuff but it's something—I don't know whether it's my unconscious beliefs or what—that keeps me from absorbing or retaining the information. I think I'm an intelligent person, but I'm just...

B: Just maybe taking a little 'too much' responsibility for other people?

Q: Yeah. I think that's true.

B: Alright. Well, that is number one. Anything else?

Q: Yes, I would also like to attract to myself a mate to share with and care for. And I would like to find a career that I really enjoy and could be successful at.

B: Find a career?

Q: Well, you know, as far as caring and stuff, I would like to make more money while I do it. You know, to be able to provide. I've flown home repair for years, plumbing, carpentry and all that .

B: Alright. So does that excite you?

Q: Well, sure it does.

B: Is it the most exciting thing?

Q: Well, at times. Yes.

B: At times. Alright. Is it now?

Q: At times. But it is just, well, physically hard.

B: Is it the MOST exciting thing you could imagine doing?

Q: No, I think caring for people would be the most exciting thing.

B: In what way would you like to care for them? 

Q: Sharing myself with them.

B: In what way? 

Q: Using my skills that I have, you know, to repair things. But there are different trains of thought that say, 'Well, you have to 'expect monetary reimbursement' and stuff like that. And yes, that's true, but sometimes people aren't able to reimburse and there are many, sometimes much more rewarding ways than money.

B: Yes, there are many forms of abundance.

Q: Well, I guess what I want to know is, can one of your friends 'up-there'—could they maybe work on molding or shaping my consciousness so that I can become all I can be? 

B: We are always giving you assistance. However, you have to accept it. The idea again, if I may backtrack, is to keep clear sight about what it is that you really prefer as an expression in your life and be that way, regardless of how others choose to be. The idea is to recognize that, yes, many individuals may choose to be as you say, 'hard-hearted and unkind' but that has no bearing on what you prefer to be in your own life. Absolutely none.

The only way you can really be of assistance to them completely is to maintain the example of the unconditional love in yourself that you would prefer—someday perhaps for them to choose for themselves as well.

Only then, by your example, are they given the opportunity to see that such a thing works for you. When you experience and choose to create unconditional love and joy in your life—simply because that is what you prefer and they see that you are a very happy individual— then they will eventually, more likely than not, want to know how do you do that. Why are you so happy all the time? How come it's so easy for you? What's your secret? Only by being that example do you then help by providing them an opportunity to know it can happen. If they see that someone can create that, then maybe they can create that too.

So, the first idea is to allow yourself to 'stay on the train you prefer to be on.' And if that happens to be the love train, then so be it.

Allow yourself always to determine what track you are riding for your own sake, not because you feel you are being pushed or pulled by the circumstances, situations or opinions of others around you.

If you were raised with that kind of love then you have a great opportunity, truly, to help other people by expressing and by being an example of that radiant light in everything that you do. You deserve, as you know, to really be in joy in every single thing you undertake. And, if at one moment something excites you more than anything else and you do that, and then at the next moment something else completely different grabs your excitement, that might take you in another direction—then follow that. Always, follow your excitement, moment by moment.

Excitement is the thread. It is the thread that is the vibration of your natural self and it will always lead you precisely and exactly jjito the situations and into the relationships with the proper people that you need to be led into, to always allow you to accelerate in die direction of maintaining your excitement.

And when I say 'maintaining' I do not in any way mean to imply that the idea requires stamina. For when you are doing what you love to do, it is no effort at all and it is automatically there.

Allow us to again make very clear in your understanding that it is only your definitions of abundance that prevent you from experiencing it in your lives.

There is absolutely nothing inherent in the idea of abundance or in the experience of abundance that is difficult to attain.

Only your definitions of abundance make it seem to be beyond your reach. And that is another idea of abundance as well: 'an abundance of waiting for abundance'—waiting and gathering all the physical symbols you think need to be there before you will allow something to occur, rather than simply allowing it to occur when it is ready.

Always, always, always—your abundance is directly connected to the idea of doing what excites you the most. If you have no notion of what it is that excites you and therefore are not acting on what excites you the most, it is absolutely no wonder that you might not be creating the idea of abundance. Because 'abundance' and doing what excites you' are absolutely connected. They are one and the same thing.

Doing what excites you the most is being aligned with your highest self. Being aligned with your highest self automatically attracts whatever situations and abundance are necessary to allow you to continue being aligned with your highest self.

If you're not doing what excites you the most, you will often have difficulty in attracting abundance. Relax into the meditative state when you are alone and make an opportunity to do so. Discover what it is—whether at any given moment, or as a life spanning career—that would be something that excites you more than anything else.

When you discover what that excitement is, at any given moment, do it. I guarantee you will start the ball rolling in the direction of unlimited abundance, self love and the attraction of ever more exciting opportunities... forever.

Since there are no accidents and everything happens in perfect timing, you can know that you are now aware of the fact that you have the ability to do this, or you would not have even conceived of the desire for abundance. You are already beyond the old framework.

Let yourself believe it by acting like you are and reaping the rewards of the reality that is representative of the fact that you now know you are beyond the old framework. Understand?

Q: Uh-huh.

B: You don't sound too convinced. 

Q: Hmmm.

B: Keep it simple. Keep it simple. Explore what you must explore. Explore what you have uncovered about yourself. But in the exploration, love yourself; you certainly deserve to. Understand? Do what excites you the most. You can do it , it will work for you. And it will help you uncover more about yourself that you need to know. Alright? Take the step and see what happens.
