In response to a question, Bashar says we shouldn’t invalidate what we don’t prefer because then we’re giving it energy. We’re feeding it by invalidating it. Because invalidation is a negative energy and therefore it compounds the negative energy of what we don’t prefer.

Invalidation is a way of saying, this does not belong here. This has no value to me. Invalidation is discounting the value, discounting what’s happening in our lives, as if it didn’t belong. And therefore all we’re doing is reinforcing our inability to use it in a way that positively serves us.

He gives this analogy: It’s like saying I see a series of stepping stones ahead of me, but one of them is a color I don’t like. So I’m going to invalidate it and say that stone has absolutely no value whatsoever. It does not belong on the path, so get rid of it. If we do that, then we have no way to step from that stone to the next one.

We would have literally invalidated our path, and removed our ability to step forward, by discounting the reason that, that different stone is there. We should use it to our advantage by saying, well that stone is different, so there must be something different I need to look at here. I need to learn something here.

Doing that would actually help us to move on to the next stone. But if we invalidate it, and remove it from our path, then there’s too big of a gap for us to cross. There’s no stone for us to step from to the next stone beyond.
