Bashar defines permission slips as any tools, techniques, rituals, or objects that align with your belief system in such a way that they allow you to give yourself permission to be more of who you truly are. These permission slips are not powerful in and of themselves; rather, they work because you believe they work. They are reflections of a portion of your consciousness that says, "This is what will allow me to supersede a limiting belief."
You are the ultimate permission slip. All external objects or methods you use are merely symbols that reflect your willingness to change. Over time, as your understanding grows, you realize you don’t actually need the permission slips. You can still enjoy them, but their necessity diminishes.
Common examples of permission slips include yoga, meditation, astrology, tarot, crystals, gongs, music, books, mudras, and even this channeled material. These are simply resonant tools you attract because they match your vibrational frequency at the time.
For example, Bashar explains that the moon is a powerful astrological permission slip that helps us drop barriers and connect to unseen realms. Mudras and yoga poses unlock specific energetic states within you. Tarot connects us to cycles of nature and the higher self through symbolic archetypes.
Ultimately, these tools reflect your current belief structure. Whatever you are attracted to is perfect for you in that moment, because your frequency drew it in. Even if your preference changes the next day, trust that the synchronicity has guided you to the exact tool you need.
“You attract permission slips to you because they represent the arrangement at that moment of your belief system. The ultimate recognition is that you don't need them.”
~ Bashar ~
Each person has a unique signature vibration. When a permission slip appears in your life, it has been drawn to you by your frequency. The object or technique does nothing on its own. Instead, it mirrors back a definition you hold that allows you to feel safe enough to express who you really are.
If your belief system contains limitations (often from childhood conditioning), then the permission slip becomes a bridge, helping you bypass those beliefs temporarily. Though not empirically true, your belief makes it experientially real. Thus, tools such as crystals or meditations give you the illusion that "they did it," when in truth, you gave yourself permission through them.
Eventually, you realize that any permission slip will work. They're all valid and equal. What matters is your belief in the symbol the permission slip represents. Once you understand this, you will reach the point where you begin to bypass the need for permission slips altogether. You'll say, "I choose this state of being," and it will be so.
Permission slips are a method of communication with your higher mind. Your higher mind resides in a vibrational state higher than that of physical reality. Your higher self can see the path ahead and guides you accordingly.
The relationship between the higher and physical mind can be imagined like this:
The higher mind acts as a guiding principle, translating information from your oversoul into concepts you can understand. However, the physical mind often tries to take control, basing its assumptions on past experiences and creating repetitive cycles.
Your imagination, which comes from the higher mind, offers you ideas and tools - including permission slips - to help you reach desired states. Use it. Trust it. If your imagination leads you to a new tool or technique, follow that path with excitement.
You don't need to know "how" things will happen. That’s the higher mind's job. Like a driver only needing to see the next stretch of road instead of the entire road on the journey, the physical mind needs only to follow the signals. The higher mind orchestrates the journey.
When you feel tired, stuck, or like you're going against the flow, it's often because the physical mind is trying to do the job of the higher mind. Your higher mind is communicating - you just need to listen.
Permission slips are part of that communication. They are signposts and tools that the higher mind delivers through synchronicity to realign you. They help you enter the flow state where life feels effortless and aligned.
The key to maintaining open communication is:
As you do this, the permission slips you need will automatically appear. They are symbols you have given yourself to move deeper into your alignment. And eventually, you may realize you no longer need symbols at all.
You are the creator. You are the permission slip. And your higher mind is always lighting the path.
