Questioner: There's been a lot of talk about 2012, there's much significance to that date.

Tobias: As I see it there will be some wonderful yields in the vineyards in that year around the countries making for some fine vintages. There will be a lot of headlines in the newspapers, because it's drama. Humans feed on drama. Humans are going to focus on this event in 2012 and it's going to create a certain drama and paranoia and there we're going to be books coming out about it, and there's gonna be workshops, schools, 2012 helmets that you can put on your head and all of these other things. And then it will come and go. And 2013 will be here. And then there's going to be a lot of sad and depressed humans, but oddly enough the sad and depressed humans who have just been uninspired by 2012 and unchanged by it, they are going to find another 2012, another guru, another date, another color, another something that they can look to outside of themselves.

Bashar: Ofcourse there are a few different kind of interpretations and many different ideas that are connected to those notions other than just popular ones shall we say.

Q: Would you like to explain all of that?

Bashar: Well there are a few different things we can share. One thing we've already told many of you is that the threshold that you call 2012 is simply the leading edge of the collective consciousness crossing critical mass threshold, the idea being that on the other side of that particular moment in time there will be more positive momentum on the planet than negative. You follow me?

And so the way in which you experience this transition again is really up to you. Please remember. There are an infinite number of parallel realities all going on simultaneously. It's not in a sense that you actually change the world you are in, it's that you change your frequency to be like that of the world you prefer to experience and then experience that parallel Earth that already exists on that level. It may look as if everything around you has changed but in fact it's you that have changed and in a sense have shifted yourself to a world in which there already exists the versions of the other people that are germane to that world, that are on the same frequency of that world. Those that are not on that frequency will no longer appear in your reality. They will simply vanish from your life one way or another. As time goes on even though right now you are still in a collective agreement that allows you to experience many people who have belief systems that are very different from your own maybe even very incompatible with the frequency that you prefer, in time this will no longer be possible. The idea will be that those people will simply phase out of your reality, they will remain in the reality in which their frequency is appropriate. And you will have vanished from their reality. I wonder whatever happened to so and so...

There are on another Earth having their own experience based on the frequency they most believed would occur. So when you go through these transitions, when you look at the idea of change on your planet remember many of the things that are prophecy are statements that were made at the time of the energy that existed at the time the prophecy was made because there really is no such thing as a prediction of the future. A prediction is a sensing of the energy that exists at the time the prediction is made. If that changes the prediction is obsolete. If it doesn't it comes true as you say. But it's up to you. Many times hearing the prediction is what causes it to change. Because now you can do something about it. The person making the prediction is saying Look! This is where our energy is. Do we want it to stay here? Or do we want to change it? Do we want to experience the transition this way or this way? Up to you. Let's get it all out on the table. This is what we perceive. Now you decide how you want to experience this transformation. What kind of relationship do you want to have with each other and with your world, and with the spirits and with All That Is. How do you want to experience this reality? Who do you want to be? And that's what determines what you will experience. And you can even for a time be standing right next to someone who chooses to experience the transformation in a very destructive, scary, fearful way and you can be standing right next to them and not experience anything that they're experiencing at all. At all. You follow me?

Q: Yes

Bashar: Does this help you illuminate some of what you are discussing.

Q: Yes

Bashar: Another analogy we have used with regard to the idea of darkness, the experience of the darkness that you've created on your planet to give it a positive spin is what we've called the rubber band analogy. And the way we explained that is that just as you have on your planet the idea of a rubber band and you know that if you take a rubber band and pull it back and let it go it shoots off in another direction, the opposite direction. The idea of the degree to which you have chosen to experience limitation and darkness on your planet is actually a beautiful thing because the degree to which you can experience the darkness is the degree to which you will also experience the light. The rubber band analogy is that the farther back you pull the rubber band into the darkness when you finally decide to let go that's how much farther and faster it will shoot on the other side. Because you're giving it all that momentum, all that energy by pulling it so far back into the darkness. So when you do reach critical mass and you do cross the threshold and you do finally let go after straining for so long to hold it back here in the darkness it will shoot very quickly on to the other side and go that much further into the light.

Bashar: Your world is preparing to experience a level of unconditional love in the near future unprecedented on your planet. Even in ancient times with other civilizations that were far more connected, far more in remembrance of their connection to spirit never before on Earth have you gone through the darkness to the light in this way and the remembrance shall be profound by having taken that path. And the love once regenerated shall never be lost again. And in 1000 of your years you will no longer incarnate at all as humans on your world but will as we said leave it for others to use for their own journeys, their own experiences, their own discoveries of themselves but you will guide them, you will aid them, you will be their spirit, you will be their entities. You will be the ones to whom they turn. Ride the leading edge, the crest of the wave transformation of collective consciousness. Ride the wave of yourself into the future you prefer by being in the now. As you approach the threshold crossing of your year of 2012 when you tip the scale from going from a slightly overwhelmingly negative collective energy to a slightly overwhelmingly positively collective energy you can work towards, build toward that moment, that crossing by aligning with yourself more fully so that when the tipping of the scales occurs and for the first time in a long time the collective energy of your world is finally slightly positive you can then ride with that accelerating, snowballing energy that will continue to accelerate forward and expand forward from that point forward in time.

Bashar: Let go of the idea that things have to be done in a certain way. Let go of the old idea of who you think you need to be. Let go of the old ideas of beliefs that do not work for you. Let go of the things that are not yours. You do not need to carry them around. Let go. Let go. Let go.

The problem is when the 'people gather round and they all begin to shout'. Unless of course like the song, their purpose is just to 'beat their feet on the Mississippi mud'.
