What Happens Before We’re Born

Bashar explains the process involved in our choice to be born. It’s a choice we made to experience physical reality and have a physical life.

When we make that choice from the spirit level, what we first do is to lay out a foundation in what he calls the template level reality. It’s a frequency, a domain of reality just above physical reality, that some might refer to as a lower astral realm.

In this template level, energy vibrations are slower than spiritual realms, but not quite as slow or as dense as physical reality. It is used as a blueprint to set up certain scenarios to play out in the physical reality to come. By setting up these themes and scenarios for exploration, we create an automatic function that allows us to focus on the experience of that theme when we are in physical reality, without having to think too much about how that’s being done.

It’s at this template level where we all agree by consensus to create certain similar circumstances or conditions by which we will all experience physical reality. Time and Gravity for instance. It’s the level on which we all agree to the general rules by which we will play the physical reality game.

Once that has been established and set into place, our consciousness then passes through that template on its way to physical reality, thus crystallizing itself into physical material. Bonding with the idea of the physical body. Consolidating down to that focus.

By passing through that template level, we take on the attributes of the general agreed upon reality. We start to infuse our consciousness with a structure. We crystallize the particular structure that is representative of that reality in which we will have an experience.

Bashar gives us an analogy of a deep sea diver who must prepare by putting on the proper wet suit, diving apparatus and breathing equipment. They prepare themselves for the environment into which they are about to plunge. As they lower themselves and regulate the air, they become accustomed to the deeper pressure below the sea. We too become more accustomed by this crystallization process to the experience of physical reality and the limitations that go with that.

Even though this life is all about letting go of many of our limitations, many of them still serve a purpose. They still serve to keep us focused in physical reality, so that the concept of limitation is not inherently a negative one. What we do with that concept can be positive or negative.

As we connect to the physical seed that is being born we create a bonding with the body and we crystallize our spirit into that physicality. We actually aid and assist in the formation of that embryonic form, imbuing it with many of the ideas that we have brought with us as spirit. We work with that embryonic body in our mother’s womb to create the being, the personality structure that will best exemplify the themes that we chose to explore.

Once the embryonic form is sufficiently organized to match the frequencies of experiences and themes we have chosen, then there starts to be a more solid vibrational link between the physical form and the spirit.

Bashar goes on to state that this can be somewhat tenuous for quite some time. Up to the age of three, some spirits may have only wanted to experience a little tiny bit of physical reality. They just want to, in a sense get their feet wet, but don’t necessarily want to have a full lifespan.

So some individuals who are still very young will simply choose one day to leave. This is not the only reason, but it is one of the major reasons for what we call unexpected crib death. They will just have lived out the span that they chose to live, and they will simply go back into spirit.

He says that miscarriage and abortion are also a methods that serves the spirit’s purpose, by choosing someone who wouldn’t necessarily choose to have a full-term child. By forming a link with a person who has made that kind of a choice they will get to experience just the portion of physical existence that they chose to experience and no more.

Bashar makes it clear that this is not in any way, shape, or form, a commentary on that kind of choice. He is simply saying that nothing goes to waste. Everything serves some spirit’s purpose. So it doesn’t need to be looked at in any kind of a judgmental way. It is simply a choice, a circumstance, an opportunity that is taken advantage of by those that it can serve.

Bashar says that after seven years of age the vibrational link between spirit and body becomes relatively cohesive and relatively unbreakable.

The body will have a template form of its own that is represented by the capacity for belief systems, emotions, thought patterns, and actions. This template in the brain is set up to receive information that is conducive to the expression of that spirit’s choice of thematic experiences. Thus that personality becomes uniquely capable of expressing itself along the lines of the themes that were chosen.

This is not to say that the personality cannot be malleable, because it is. But the it is specifically designed to absorb information that is along the lines of the chosen themes.

Bashar says that a child will absorb all of the telepathic input about the belief systems from the parents and from society, and begin to incorporate those into its matrix.

Both belief systems that are conducive to its thematic exploration, and those that are not, function as a comparison to make between belief systems picked up from others that don’t belong to it, and what belief systems it would prefer.

All the absorption serves a purpose. All of those belief systems from the parents, and from society, help us to later decide, based on comparison of self to those belief systems, who we are and who you are not.

That’s a part of the general experience that we explore in physical reality. We define ourselves, and go from the idea of limitation to less limitation. We go from forgetting, to remembering, to pulling ourselves together as a holistic being.

Everything serves a purpose even though we will divest ourselves of certain belief systems as we grow. They still serve an important purpose of being there, because they gave us something to compare the ideal self against, and gave us a measure of where we’re going.

So in that context our parents have served us, even though they may not have known how or what they were doing.

Even thou our parents had their own fears; and that may never have been resolved for them; they still handed down to us those things that give us the opportunity to decide more concretely who we are. Even if it’s only by recognizing through what they have given us, who we are not.

It still serves all of us in that way, if we’re willing to use it that way.
