# Preparation For Contact > Contact preparation means living now as your preferred future self through excitement and befriending the unknown - Canonical: https://sassani.app/topic/preparation-for-contact # Preparation For Contact Across the contact-related transcripts Bashar frames preparation not as a technique to summon ships but as the work of becoming the version of yourself that already lives in the reality where contact exists. The civilizations involved will not force themselves on humanity; they take their cue from human readiness. Everything described here is attributed teaching, not a prediction schedule or an instruction to seek contact as an outcome. ## Contact is already occurring Bashar tells audiences that contact is not a future event but a present, ongoing interaction that varies with the perceiver. He says we are having contact right now with some version of you; the time frame of building up toward the day of contact is simply the willingness to become more and more the person we are already having contact with in our reality. In the same session he states that many, many, many of you have actually already had contact, but you don't remember it, and that the rate at which a person remembers is a barometer for us to know when you are ready for more contact. This reframes preparation as a process of recognition rather than manufacture: the work is to align with the version of self that already inhabits the contact reality, rather than to wait for an external arrival. ## Be a living example of the preferred reality When asked directly for the best way to help uplift humanity and prepare for contact, Bashar says: the best way is to be a living example of the kind of reality that you prefer to live in. Others are then given the choice to match that frequency or not; those who do not will ultimately not necessarily continue to appear in your reality of choice, and they do not have to change for you to have the reality you want. He names following your excitement as best you can every moment, in whatever opportunity contains the highest excitement, as the so-called best way to do that. The same instruction appears across sessions: be yourself in the here and now as best you possibly can by acting on your highest excitement every moment that you can, taking it as far as you can until you can take it no further, then acting on the next most exciting thing with absolutely zero expectation as to where it is supposed to lead. Doing this automatically accelerates you to the level that allows you to meet the visitors halfway, which is the point. ## Why contact is paced, and why it cannot be forced Bashar repeatedly insists that open contact is paced by human readiness and never forced. Interacting with a more integrated civilization prematurely would be like taking a very slow turning gear and a very high-speed turning gear and jamming them together before they have a chance to synchronize: the higher vibration would overwhelm you and force the issues you are not ready to look at to the surface, in many cases actually causing psychotic shock. He notes that in 23 of your years we have agreed on three different occasions to actually land and meet someone, and in every single case, no matter how sure they were, as soon as they saw something coming down, every one of them ran scared out of their wits. This is also why channeled dialogue is used as an unobtrusive first contact. A being trained in contact chooses, from the spirit level, an incarnation in the society it will later contact, so it can understand that civilization from the inside; the physical being before you is my past self in your society, and I am what you would call in your future. This approach does not insist that anyone believe the contact is who it says it is, allowing the contact to have a very light touch. ## Acclimatization and meeting the vibration Bashar describes contact as a gradual acclimatization rather than a single encounter. The difference in vibration will not be an issue because we will not expose you to a vibration you are not ready for; you will very quickly tell us within your own frequency what you are truly capable of handling, and we will never come closer than you can handle. You may feel a moment of apprehension, but as soon as you do, we will back off until you are comfortable with furthering the vibration. He uses humor to describe the staged nature of arrival: we will whisper first, then pop, pop, pop, until you go oh, there you are. We always agree to do it in whatever staged manner is necessary for your ability to relate to it; there is no point in scaring you, unless of course you find that fun. ## Making a friend of the unknown A recurring instruction is that readiness is measured by one's relationship to the unknown itself. Bashar says this all boils down to making a friend of the unknown itself: when you start dealing with the very concept of the unknown and start making the unknown your friend, then you will have a much more rapid positive response to something that is unknown. Fear in the presence of a being does not mean that being intends harm; often it is simply a side effect of the exposure to the higher vibration forcing one's own unresolved material to the surface. He also describes a broader "scanner" that contact entrains: the ability to identify more frequencies more quickly, so that when you find something you have never encountered before, you can identify it rapidly and form some form of relationship with the vibration rather than going into survival mode. ## Cetaceans as practice for contact Bashar presents cetacean interaction as a preparatory field for open contact. The cetacean consciousness on the planet is beautifully giving people an opportunity to practice interaction with extraterrestrial consciousness, because they are fully involved and fully engaged with many different levels of dimensional interaction, and they are right beside you, another society sharing your space, more than willing to have you interact with them. An encounter with pilot-whale energy, for example, can be a deliberately less intimidating version of contact with a pilot consciousness, allowing a person to acclimatize to the same signature in a gentler form. ## Time frames, quarantine, and the end of non-interference Bashar situates preparation inside a historical arc. He describes a kind of quarantine that has been on Earth for thousands of years (a hands-off / prime-directive policy) and states that 2012 represents a demarcation where the quarantine ends. It does not mean ships land the next day; from that point forward, it is completely in human hands how quickly contact occurs. The Contact 101 workshop gives the same reading: the quarantine of Earth ends in the year 2012, the end of the non-interference directive, after which contact is entirely in your hands. He also gives conditional time windows based on reading humanity's current energy, which he stresses can shift. Somewhere between 2003 and 2037 you will become true members of the association on a beginning level. Somewhere after 2015 to 2017 your entire planet will be aware, as a fact, that other civilizations exist. By 2025 you will have established enough change to accelerate toward 2033 to 2035 as an initiate member. The hybrid children, he says, are most likely to interact openly on Earth in a first window of 2015-2025 (limited) and a second window of 2025-2033 (more open). He also named the fall of 2015 as a possible contact event, explicitly framed as a current energy reading subject to change. He clarifies that Bashar's civilization will not be the first with whom humanity has open contact, but will be among the first; the first civilization has already initiated a program of contact, and the ship more than a mile long known as the Phoenix Lights was its initial display, intended to gauge humanity's response. ## Detoxification and body frequency In the Contact 101 context Bashar adds that detoxification supports contact readiness: detoxification will allow your vibration to find its normal natural level of functionality. Because the planet currently contains high degrees of pollutants in air, water, and food, dealing with that load makes it harder for the body to find the frequency that allows higher vibrational contacts to occur smoothly. He suggests cleansing twice, three, or four times a year to maintain a body frequency that allows rapid regeneration, healing, and further reach into higher vibrational encounters. This is framed as general somatic hygiene rather than medical direction. ## Practical implications The transcripts are consistent that the practical work of preparation is internal and present-tense: act on excitement moment by moment with zero expectation, be a living example of the preferred reality, own fear as a messenger of out-of-alignment belief, make a friend of the unknown, and let go of insisting on a specific outcome or timing. Bashar frames excitement as the compass and timing as something trustable: trust timing, not time, because time is an illusion but timing is using the power of the illusion. Nothing here is medical, legal, or financial direction. Bashar repeatedly stresses that no one requires contact and that the visitors will not come closer than an individual can handle. The dates given (2012, 2015, 2015-2017, 2025-2033) are explicitly conditional readings of humanity's energy and can change as that energy changes; they are not predictions of fixed events. ## Representative passages The best way is to be a living example of the kind of reality that you prefer to live in. Then others are given the choice to decide to match that frequency and behavior or not. … Following your excitement as best you can every moment in whatever opportunity contains the highest excitement in that sense is the so-called best way to do that.— Bashar, Blueprint For Contact (blueprint-for-contact#qa-4) Be yourself in the here and now as best you possibly can by acting on your highest excitement, every moment that you can … taking it as far as you can until you can take it no further, and then continuing to act on the next most exciting thing with absolutely zero expectation as to where it's supposed to lead. … you will automatically accelerate to the level that will allow you to meet us halfway, which is the point.— Bashar, Alien Visitations And Understanding Future Contact (alien-visitations-and-understanding-future-contact#qa-3) Interacting with a civilization that is more highly integrated would be like taking a very slow turning gear and a very high-speed turning gear and jamming them together before they have a chance to synchronize — our vibration would overwhelm you and force the issues you're not ready to look at to the surface, in many cases actually causing psychotic shock.— Bashar, Accelerating Et Contact (accelerating-et-contact#qa-18) The idea of the differences in vibration will not be an issue because we will not expose you to a vibration you are not ready for. You will very quickly tell us within your own frequency what you are truly capable of handling. And we will never, in that sense, come closer than you can handle.— Bashar, Blueprint For Contact (blueprint-for-contact#qa-10) The quarantine of Earth ends in the year 2012. … once the quarantine is officially ended from our point of view, then everything is up to you as to how quickly contact can happen.— Bashar, Preparing For Contact1014 (preparing-for-contact1014#qa-1) ## Related - [Open Contact](https://sassani.app/topic/open-contact) - [Extraterrestrial Contact](https://sassani.app/topic/extraterrestrial-contact) - [Excitement](https://sassani.app/topic/excitement) - [Fear](https://sassani.app/topic/fear) - [Hybrid Children & Hybrid Races](https://sassani.app/topic/hybrid-children) - [Permission Slips](https://sassani.app/topic/permission-slips) - [The Now](https://sassani.app/topic/the-now) - [Government & ET Disclosure](https://sassani.app/topic/government-disclosure) - [Higher Vibrations](https://sassani.app/topic/higher-vibrations) - [Fourth Density Transition](https://sassani.app/topic/fourth-density) Markdown twin of https://sassani.app/topic/preparation-for-contact.
