Understanding the Ego, Higher Self, and Consciousness: Insights from Bashar and Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique POV, by Aima Being
The teachings of Bashar, a channeled entity, and the Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT) developed by Dolores Cannon offer deep insights into the dynamics between the ego, the higher self, and consciousness.
Bashar is multidimensional, extraterrestrial entity channeled by Darryl Anka. According to Darryl Anka, Bashar is a being from an advanced civilization called the Essassani, which exists in a parallel reality approximately 300 years in the future. Dolores Cannon was a renowned hypnotherapist, past-life regressionist, and author who developed the Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT). Over her 50-year career, she became a pioneer in the field of hypnosis and regression therapy, specializing in recovering “lost knowledge” through her unique hypnosis method, which accesses the Subconscious or Higher Self to facilitate healing and gain insights.
While both insights by Bashar and Dolores through QHHT explore similar themes, they provide distinct frameworks for understanding and integrating these aspects of our consciousness expansion, spiritual and physical experiences. Let’s explore the parallels and distinctions between these teachings, focusing on their views on the ego, higher self, and the role of consciousness in personal growth and healing.
Understanding the Ego: Bashar vs. QHHT
Ego as a Focusing Mechanism (Bashar) vs. Ego as the Conscious Mind (QHHT): In Bashar’s perspective, the ego is a focusing mechanism that helps the physical mind concentrate on specific beliefs and experiences to navigate physical reality. It serves to keep individuals anchored in their chosen life themes. The ego is not inherently negative; rather, it can amplify fear-based beliefs when it feels disconnected or threatened, creating a survival mode that reinforces its perceived control.
In QHHT, the ego represents more than just the conscious mind managing daily reality; it is deeply tied to the belief systems that shape a person’s identity, perceptions, and experiences. These belief systems can act as barriers, preventing individuals from releasing what no longer serves them and blocking deeper integration with the subconscious mind. During QHHT sessions, the resistance to accessing deeper states of consciousness (Theta state) often comes not just from the ego’s protective instincts, but from the deeply ingrained beliefs it holds onto for perceived safety.
QHHT practitioners work to gently navigate these belief systems, helping clients to recognize and release the ones that are outdated or limiting. By creating a safe and trusting environment, they enable clients to move beyond the ego’s defenses and reach the deeper Theta state where the subconscious, or higher self, can be accessed. At this level, the practitioner facilitates a direct dialogue with the subconscious to answer the specific questions that the client has brought to the session—questions about their life, health, relationships, and soul purpose.
Negative Ego and Trickster Ego (Bashar) vs. Resistant Conscious Mind (QHHT):
Bashar introduces concepts such as the “negative ego,” which emerges when the ego is overly focused on fear-based beliefs, and the “trickster ego,” which can create illusions of progress while maintaining underlying limitations. This trickster aspect of the ego may convince an individual they are moving forward when they are actually being manipulated by unresolved anxieties.
Similarly, in QHHT, the conscious mind may resist deep hypnosis if it harbors unresolved fears or trauma. This resistance can manifest as distractions or discomfort during the session. QHHT practitioners work with clients to navigate these resistances by creating an environment of trust, allowing the ego to feel safe enough to let the subconscious surface and engage fully.
Methods for Integrating Ego and Higher Self
Negotiation and Full Disclosure (Bashar) vs. Deep Relaxation and Dialogue (QHHT):
Bashar emphasizes the importance of negotiating with the ego with full transparency, much like a business partner. The goal is to ensure that the ego feels included in the process, reducing the likelihood of self-sabotage. Bashar advises starting with small, manageable changes to build trust with the ego.
In QHHT, the negotiation is more implicit. The process involves guiding the client into a deep state of relaxation, where the conscious mind relaxes its defenses, allowing access to the deeper, wiser parts of the self—the subconscious or higher self. This technique ensures the ego does not resist the process and facilitates healing from within.
Changing Beliefs and Definitions (Bashar) vs. Healing through Awareness (QHHT):
Bashar’s method of transforming the ego involves redefining the beliefs that it holds. By identifying and letting go of outdated beliefs that no longer serve one’s growth, one can gradually show the ego that new perspectives are beneficial.
In QHHT, healing is achieved through awareness. Clients often explore past lives or other significant experiences that have shaped their current belief systems. The understanding gained from these sessions allows clients to release fears and limitations, similar to Bashar’s focus on changing definitions to align with one’s higher truth.
Understanding the Higher Self: Bashar and QHHT
Higher Self as a Guide (Bashar) vs. The Subconscious as the Higher Self (QHHT):
Bashar describes the higher self as a “template” reality, a liaison between the physical mind (ego) and the broader non-physical soul or spirit. The higher self-resides in a higher frequency domain, guiding the physical mind like a diver being guided by someone on a boat. It perceives the broader landscape and provides direction on the best paths aligned with one’s true purpose. In QHHT, the subconscious is considered synonymous with the higher self. During sessions, practitioners facilitate direct communication with this aspect, which provides guidance and healing that align with the client’s soul journey and highest good.
Imagination and Intuition as Conduits (Bashar) vs. Direct Dialogue with the Higher Self (QHHT):
Bashar emphasizes imagination and intuition as key channels for communication between the higher self and the physical mind. When the ego is relaxed and trusting, these channels become clear and effective, guiding one toward the most beneficial experiences.
In contrast, QHHT engages in a direct dialogue with the higher self. This communication is facilitated by a practitioner who guides the client into a deep state where the subconscious mind is accessed and can provide immediate feedback, healing, and insights.
Integration of Ego and Higher Self: Lessons from Bashar and QHHT
Ego is Not an Enemy:
Both teachings stress that the ego is not an adversary but a necessary part of the self that needs to be understood and integrated. Bashar highlights that the ego is a tool for focusing on physical reality and should be approached with compassion and understanding. QHHT similarly emphasizes the importance of creating a safe and trusting environment for the ego to feel valued and secure.
Transformation through Compassionate Negotiation (Bashar) vs. Safe Exploration (QHHT):
Bashar advocates for a gentle approach of negotiation with the ego, allowing for gradual transformation and building trust. In QHHT, this is mirrored in the method of safely guiding clients into deep states of relaxation where the ego feels secure enough to let go, facilitating profound healing and transformation.
Permission Slips and QHHT Techniques:
Bashar introduces the concept of “permission slips”—tools or symbols that help individuals give themselves permission to connect with their higher selves. Similarly, QHHT acts as a “permission slip,” enabling clients to explore their consciousness deeply and receive healing directly from their higher self. Both methods encourage moving beyond these tools once a direct and confident connection is established.
Reconnection with the Higher Self:
Both approaches aim to foster reconnection with the higher self, leading to a more integrated and harmonious experience of reality. This involves letting go of outdated belief systems, cultivating open communication between the ego and higher self, and aligning with one’s true desires and passions.
Bashar’s teachings and QHHT provide complementary frameworks for understanding and integrating the ego, higher self, and consciousness. Both approaches emphasize that consciousness expansion, true healing and spiritual growth occur when these elements work together harmoniously, leading to a balanced and aligned life experience. Whether through conscious negotiation or deep subconscious exploration, the journey involves compassion, patience, and trust in the process.
