# Navigation > Interstellar navigation is relocation not traversal where a ship changes its locational vibration as a property of itself and instantly arrives at the destination because location is a variable in the objects vibrational equation rather than a place an object exists in - Canonical: https://sassani.app/topic/navigation # Navigation Navigation, in Bashar's account, is not traversal. Your idea of "travel" — a ship crossing the distance between two points — is, in his framing, a misnomer. Real interstellar navigation is relocation: the ship changes a property of itself (its locational vibration) and, in the instant that property matches the destination, the ship has already arrived. The distance was never crossed. This works because of a single underlying premise the corpus states again and again: location is not a place an object exists in — location is one of the properties of the object itself, one variable in its vibrational equation. ## The premise: location as a property of the object A ball at location A is a vibrational equation that contains the vibration "location A" — that vibration is actually part of the object. Surround the ship with an energy bubble that unlocks it from any particular location, impose upon it the vibration of location B, and when you remove the bubble the ship immediately finds itself instantaneously at location B, because it can no longer exist at A — it is no longer that equation. The same premise is why interstellar travel can be instantaneous at all: the speed of thought is infinite and timeless because everything is connected, everything is one, and the distance between stars is an illusion that dissolves once location is treated as a frequency rather than a place. ## How Bashar's civilization navigates Bashar's civilization does not navigate by the stars at all, except to recognize patterns and charts of where they wish to go. Their navigation is primarily through tonal vibration: objects are vibrational equations, and location is one variable in that equation. They use a holographic three-dimensional spherical map that plots the extrapolated vibrations of any distance from any particular point. The craft creates an isolation field around itself that unlocks it from any particular vibrational universe and, through the harmonics of light, imposes the new vibrational equation upon the craft; when the craft is reinserted into a reality, it automatically takes up residence at the location represented by that equation. Once traveling within a given reality, they then navigate by the gravitational dynamic tensor field, the electromagnetic field, and the masses of stars and planets; each spacecraft has its own gravitational bubble. ## What your ships are still doing wrong Bashar draws a sharp line between the way humanity currently moves through space and the way the corridor actually works. Your ships, as they are, do not navigate space — they exist, in his eyes, simply on the surface of space. They have not penetrated true space and have not made use of the interwoven energy linkages that the vacuum actually contains. What you think of as empty space is, in this account, seething with energy and virtual potential — things on the verge of occurring but not brought into physical reality without the proper degree of momentum in mass consciousness. All of Bashar's navigation is: scanning that potential, locking onto one particular vibratory rate that represents the destination reality (in the same way your own energy pattern represents you), and synchronizing with it. Remove the object from the vibratory signature of its original reality, impose a new vibratory signature, let it synchronize, and it re-merges with that reality, instantaneously relocated no matter the distance. Time spent "traveling" is actually spent within the relocation exercise, not within the traveling itself. ## The inward dimension There is a second axis to this teaching that is easy to miss. A civilization which still creates conflict will not reach very far into space, because the true penetration of space is traveling within the self. When you use analysis within space travel — just as the exterior surface of your brain is used for analysis — you slide around only on the surface of your brain-space and do not penetrate the doorway within the brain that is true traveling in space. The implication is that the locational-variable mechanic is not separable from state: the same inward-doorway that lets consciousness relocate is what a warring or heavily analytical civilization keeps closed. ## Practical implications The practical takeaway is a reframe, not a construction manual. Three things follow from the corpus's account. First, "distance" is not the obstacle; identity of state is. The ship that has matched the destination's vibration has, by definition, already arrived — so the work of navigation is vibrational alignment, not propulsion. Second, the same principle scales down to a single life: because location is a property of the object (and you are an object), the places and circumstances you synchronize with are the ones matching your vibratory signature — the corpus states this elsewhere as "you only perceive the portions of everyone and everything that exist on the level you are on." Third, the inward-doorway teaching warns that an analytical, surface-level approach to these subjects keeps you on the surface of them; real understanding requires penetrating within, the same way real space travel does. Nothing here is medical, legal, or financial direction; the framing is metaphysical throughout. ## Representative passages We do not navigate by the stars at all, except that we recognize patterns and charts of where we wish to go. Our navigation is primarily through tonal vibration. Objects are in and of themselves a vibrational equation, and location is one of the variables in that equation.— Bashar, Yardsticks (yardsticks#qa-13) As we create the isolation field around our craft, that unlocks us from any particular vibrational universe and imposes, through the harmonics of light, the new vibrational equation upon the craft. When we reinsert the craft into any particular reality, it automatically takes up residence at that location represented by the vibrational equation.— Bashar, Yardsticks (yardsticks#qa-13) That is all our navigation is: scanning the potential, locking on to one particular vibratory rate which represents that reality — in the same way your own energy pattern represents you — and synchronizing, merging with it. Your idea of location is but a property of the object, that object's relationship to the rest of the universe. … In that instant you will find the ship having instantaneously relocated itself, no matter the distance, to that new locale. Time spent traveling is actually spent within the relocation exercise, not within the traveling itself.— Bashar, Navigation & Limitation (navigation-limitation#qa-3) Location is not a place an object exists in. Location is a property of the object itself. A ball at location A is a vibrational equation that contains the vibration location A — it's actually part of the object. You can surround the ship with an energy bubble that unlocks it from any particular location, impose upon it the vibration of location B, and when you remove the bubble, it will immediately find itself instantaneously at location B, because it can no longer exist at location A because it's no longer that equation.— Bashar, An Evening with Bashar in Hawaii (an-evening-with-bashar-in-hawaii#qa-2) Once you allow yourself to understand that the true penetration of space is the traveling within the self, then you will not allow that conflict to exist within you. When you involve the use of analysis within space travel, just as the exterior surface of your brain is used for analysis, you will slide around only on the surface of your brain space, and will not penetrate to that doorway within the brain which is true traveling in space.— Bashar, Mass Consciousness (mass-consciousness#qa-2) ## Related - [Space & Navigation](https://sassani.app/topic/space-and-navigation) - [Space Travel](https://sassani.app/topic/space-travel) - [Spacecraft & Teleportation](https://sassani.app/topic/spacecraft-and-teleportation) - [Synchronicity](https://sassani.app/topic/synchronicity) - [Parallel Realities](https://sassani.app/topic/parallel-realities) - [Higher Mind](https://sassani.app/topic/higher-mind) - [Levitation](https://sassani.app/topic/levitation) Markdown twin of https://sassani.app/topic/navigation.
