What is Ascension? by Sandy Stevenson
Ascension is a natural and normal part of the evolutionary process of the Universe. It has always been so and will probably continue until it is no longer necessary as a universal process.
Therefore any ideas of this process being something new or weird, usually means that this concept hasn’t been understood. When the real meaning of this concept is not grasped, we get separation and terms such as ‘the ascensionists.’ Let’s look more carefully at what Ascension is.
(I found in Elizabeth Clare Prophet’s book, “Lords of the Seven Rays – Book 2,” that “The ascension comes at the conclusion of lifetimes of the soul’s service to life. The prerequisites for this graduation from Earth’s schoolroom are: (1) The soul must become one with her Christ Self; (2) She must balance at least 51% of her karma; and (3) She must fulfill her mission on Earth according to her divine plan.”)
Experiential Growth
Evolution is basically a continuing growth through learning in many forms. This growth comes about through greater spiritual wisdom, compassion, tolerance, integrity, true understanding and such qualities that lead us to Unconditional Love.
Energy and Vibrations
Each person has their own unique energy vibration and it is this we are recognizing when we feel someone is instantly familiar or we are immediately comfortable with someone. Whilst each being always holds this special energy, the overall vibrational field of a being alters – depending on the current level of evolution he or she is at. Our individual vibrational band as a being decides the world we see. All dimensions exist ‘Now’ but we can only see things that lay within the vibrational band of Light that we resonate with – that matches us. Wisdom and love raise ones vibration, taking it from dense, slower moving frequencies to faster finer frequencies.
An Evolutionary Stage
Ascension is merely a stage in this evolutionary process and involves reaching a place where one is ready to raise oneself to the frequency of Light, whereby the fifth dimension becomes accessible and visible.
It is not something for the ‘chosen few’, but is available to every being in the entire universe. It is obtained on an individual basis, within the time frame that being chooses to experience his or her growth. It is inevitably gained by everyone at some point or another.
A Natural Transition
One does not need to understand the process or to have ever heard the word Ascension in order to ascend. It is simply a word that is used by some to define this particular step of ones growth.
All stages of evolution are wonder-ful and contain their own special beauty and wisdom. However, it is felt by many that Ascension is a special stage as it involves the transition from a third dimensional reality of duality and its relevant learning, to an awareness of oneness, harmony and love.
Moving to the fifth dimension, one passes through the fourth and releases all buried emotion and thought that has too dense a vibration to permit the being to raise him or herself and his lower subtle bodies, into the higher frequencies of Light.
Universal Manifestation
Those attaining Ascension in past times, have allowed the physical body to ‘die’ and having increased the vibration of the subtle bodies, raised themselves into the fifth dimension. There is now an opportunity to change this universal pattern and ascend all our lower bodies, bringing a new pattern of ascension into Universal Manifestation. For the first time in this universe, there is a possibility for those choosing it, to increase the vibratory rate of the molecular structure of the physical body. As in all new things presented to humanity, the idea may well seem `way out’ and impossible. Not so long ago, talking to someone thousands of miles away or walking on the moon, would have seemed impossible.
Earth Attaining Ascension
The planet Earth is currently attaining a state of ascension. The Being who has Earth as her body (much the same as humans have theirs) has reached a point where she is choosing this major step in her evolution. She is currently releasing all condensed and negative energy and raising her entire physical form and its surrounding subtle bodies (which she has just the same as the human beings). All that which is part of the Earth and identifies itself with her such as the flora and fauna operating in the natural flow of the universe, simply moves with her. Any life stream that has separated or is not a natural part of that Earth, who has evolved to a point of ‘free will and choice’ to decide its own movement – may or may not choose to Ascend. Human beings and some animals are definitely in this category.
Evolutionary Opportunity
At this special time of planetary evolution an opportunity exists for every individual within the entire Earth structure, currently incarnated or not, to choose to release all the lower levels of density and move from a reality based on materialism and separation to one based within the heart centre and oneness of all life.
This opportunity is available on such a broad scale to all humanity, because the Earth is ascending. Usually Ascension is obtained by the individual without being able to use the planet’s increasing frequency to assist their own momentum towards Ascension. Everything is in Divine order and those on Earth at this time are destined to be able to tune into this assistance. Other planets in the universe have previously attained ascension and now it is our Earth that is doing so.
Linking with the Divine
Anyone may choose at this time to re-link with their Divine source, release their patterns of limitation, release judgement and separation and move into the loving place of the heart. It does require a real commitment and a discipline and determination. It is achieved by following spirit in any given moment. This means following the heart and moving only with what feels right, usually accompanied by interest or excitement. If one continues to move in patterns dictated by the mind, often out of fear and need for security and all of the ‘shoulds’ and ‘musts’ contained within its belief patterns, you will not be allowing yourself to feel in the heart that which resonates as true and in the Divine flow of the universe.
The Earth was once a perfect ball of evenly distributed energy. She agreed to share a learning process with mankind, as he began a learning through ‘limitation’. In carrying out this learning man has caused an uneven distribution of this energy, through various means such as negative thought, rainforest destruction, pollution, etc.
Learning through Limitation
The process of learning through limitation has reached deep levels of restriction. Many now, no longer remember that they are a spiritual being and child of God, part of a Divine source and connected to all living things with all being brother and sister. Man also no longer realizes that he creates his own reality and hence his own world. This pattern has been taken to its greatest learning potential and its learning could be considered by many to be complete.
Earth’s Agreement
Earth agreed to this joint learning with man and had a deep understanding of the various possibilities that could happen. This Being operates from a place of love and does not feel she is a ‘victim’ or feels anger about the apparent destruction of areas upon her form. Everything in the universe is done by agreement. Everything. She watches with love and perceives the struggle within man to overcome all the barriers he has set himself.
The Earth now needs to bring all the energy within her structure back into a perfect ball and raised in frequency in order to make her Ascension. She is quite capable of doing this. The way she does it is dependent on the amount of Light she receives in. She tries to release these areas as gently as possible and we can assist this by focusing Light in and across the Earth, creating positive and healing patterns around the world.
The Power of Unified Prayer
Prayer also has always been a form of connection to the Divine Source of all and we know this links to the power of God. Some feel they wish to help the Earth in a more practical way and this is also helping greatly. She is grateful for all these forms of help. If sufficient Light is taken into help this transmutation, she does not then need to correct the energy imbalance in a geophysical manner, such as through earthquakes, floods, etc.
In her love and compassion for all life upon Earth and for her own comfort, she would naturally prefer to have a pain and trauma free transition. As we know most mothers would choose the gentlest birth possible. She is no exception and doesn’t enjoy the pain of cracks and upheavals in her structure or the added trauma of human suffering.
Let Go and Let God
Everyone on Earth is special and unique and each has their own role to play in the overall scheme of things. If each one follows that which feels right to say or do, then each will be carrying out their part in that plan. If instead, you permit yourself to do that which you ‘should do’ often through guilt, you are quite liable to be stepping outside of your agreements. It is time to Let Go And Let God. By doing this, you will be truly taking responsibility.
If it feels right for you to help the dolphins, save the rainforests, increase awareness of child abuse, or do nothing…the range is endless…understand that because this is right for you, it does not have to mean that it is right for others also. Each has their own task to do and if you permit yourself to be talked into what you ‘should be doing’ you will not therefore carry out what you are really meant to be doing in that moment. If you do what feels right in the heart from a place of love and not from fear or guilt then you can trust that you are in the flow of Divinity. From that place you can intuitively sense the next move.
The Power of Positivity
Another way to assist the Earth is by keeping our own auric field (aura) clear and free of negativity. We can then allow Light to pass through the energy centres (chakras) of the body, down into The Earth. You can keep this field clear through a discipline of only permitting positive thought, pure intent, use of affirmations, non judgement, moving from the `head’ to the ‘heart’, realizing that all are brother and sister and becoming more loving. There are various products available that assist in raising vibration and help clear the lower bodies. There are color, sound, crystals, oils and many natural essences in use for these purposes such as Bach Flower remedies, Aura Light and Avatara Harmony essences. As regards any assistance via products or indeed from any source, take only that which resonates and feels right for you. Each of us have different needs and whereas one may find that Aromatherapy produces miracles, another may simply need more peace or to look at the area of self love. Many paths are available for there are many different people with as many different needs. By following our intuition we can lead ourselves to increased awareness and higher levels of evolution.
A Time of Choice
It is time on this planet for everyone to make a choice about the sort of world they wish to live in. One of peace and love or the current world we see now upon the Earth.
In the current third dimensional reality on Earth, one learns compassion, understanding and love through experiencing every conceivable situation in life, ranging from poverty and struggle to wealth and power. This involves learning to rise above the limitations set by ourselves prior to the incarnation, thereby gaining strength and wisdom. Finally, as one ceases to judge and realizes ‘I am my brothers’ keeper’ and that in truth, everyone is a brother – he or she moves to a place of peace and unconditional love.
Many now feel that they have learnt sufficiently in this realm and would choose to release the various patterns belonging to limitational learning and move on up to higher levels of learning. Learning goes on through higher dimensions, but it is through greater harmony and less solid types of experience. Whilst joy and peace are obtainable on the third dimension, these things are a matter of course on the higher dimensions.
The Golden Age
Choices are being made across the Earth by everyone. As the planetary vibrations continue to increase; all old rigid structures and systems across the Earth either change their basis of operation to one of love, or they crumble and cease to be. All buried thought and emotion is being released individually – nationally – internationally and planetary. All remaining karma is being balanced out across the face of the Earth and everyone who chooses Love, is Light-ening up, as their vibration moves into higher frequencies.
It is time to step free of fears and the myriad of belief patterns that keep us so boxed in our world of structure and control. Time to move forward in trust and faith knowing there are worlds beyond that which we can see with our eyes.
We now approach the new millennia, the Golden Age of peace and love, predicted by so many philosophies and religions for so long. It is shown on the ancient Mayan Calendar and known deep within the heart of many, many millions working in the Light of God.
A wonderful new world dawns on the horizon, bathed in the splendor of the Gold Ray of the Christ Consciousness, as we who choose it so, come home.
Unconditional Love,
Sandy Stevenson
