The Attitudes of Ascendence

And the work that must be done . . .

It is a buzzword. . . ‘ascendence’ . . . and a major revenue stream in these times. So many offers and contracts of colourful meanings are given to this lofty topic, and fraud is high on the list of pitfalls when embracing it as a concept. How would the average individual know if what they are learning, paying good money for, and basing their eternal life on, is the real deal?

There are a number of ideas surrounding this topic and there is no ‘one size fits all’ and no one individual can claim to be the authority on the subject. It is highly subjective! It is also highly dependent upon the intentions of not only the teachers or guides but also the intentions of the learners or those seeking guidance. That is correct - the intent of the learners means even more than that of the teachers and guides because intent sets the direction toward a specific landscape of experience.

That landscape, etched in the mind or held in the imagination of the learner or seeker, determines the goal or destination. So what is the exact destination of ascension? Is it an idea of bliss and peace, or an idea of utopia and paradise? Is it the idea of life eternal with no chaos, or heaven? Is it another planet with another species of existence, or is it being out of duality and its paradoxes? All of these elements direct consciousness towards the intended and mentally held target of what ascension means to the individual seeker.

Nobody holds the same idea of what it means but like-minded souls do gather around or are magnetically attracted to ideas that mean something to them. There is nothing more fulfilling than ‘travelling’ through landscapes of ideas with a familiar tribe of like-minded individuals. The guides or teachers have the responsibility to hold as high an idea as they possibly can, and this is determined by their own understanding, comprehension of universal structures of realities, their own attainments, and their ability to guide individuals using the correct language of ascension.

The language of ascension is not what most think it is . . . it is not flowery, special, important, mesmerising, nor does it hypnotise and mimic the true language. It is not about the language per se, it is about the ability of the teacher/guide to access a body of understanding - held in purity by metaphor - that far exceeds that of the seeker themselves. How can they do this? There are a number of ways:

· They are born with the ability, having learnt before the present incarnation.

· They have been shown how to access the higher vibrations through their own hard work and experience.

· They have worked with Master teachers themselves, learning from them about the higher realms and what they are comprised of.

Nobody reads a book, does an online course, takes mind-altering substances, and then suddenly they are ascending. Nobody. It is literally impossible because ascension (although my understanding now is that it is just an idea that 3D humans explore) demands a shift in personal vibration to the point of contracting another ‘self.’ It demands the dissolution of attachments to the current reality without physically destroying any aspect of life. It uses magnetism to change the state of vibration of the individual to that of an entirely different state of being. The head or brain cannot work this out - it can only experience the shift after the work has been accomplished.

It requires a great deal of understanding of the mechanics of reality and creation, the ways of self-mastery to dissolve the altered ego, and the complete accountability that an individual has in the fact that they create their own lives either by default or deliberately. This last point is a game-changer! If any individual has not entered into this understanding, then they are simply following someone blindly towards an idea of ascension that they have been given. Because they have been given it, it is a creation through default and not by actualised and informed power.

Different vibrational frequencies are all around us and we access them throughout the day depending upon our moods and minds. The attitude of an individual who truly seeks ascension or enlightenment is that of humility . . . not false subjugation or blind faith . . . but rather a deep respect that knowledge can be new each time it is heard. That cost may not necessarily be in the form of currency, as it is expected that we apply, master and become that knowledge so that we can see and experience for ourselves that we have accomplished it. It is in ‘becoming’ the change or shifts, that we truly ascend.

Learners/seekers have to be turned inside out, upside down and face 180 degrees in the opposite direction so that they gradually forget who they were in order to embody what they are becoming. That ideal they hold in their mind’s eye, that idea that they feel drawn towards, is the vibration of what they will experience. So many want to be in a blissful state of love and harmony because that is their learnt idea of what being spiritual, enlightened and ascended means. I have news for you . . .

4D - the one just out of range of the five senses - has all those qualities and more. It has all the nirvana, paradises and heavens you could possibly think of . . . and it has all the hells you could possibly create too. The biggest falsity many seekers follow is the ideas that have been written about, spoken about, and that have become standard in schools of thought. These schools of thought have existed for thousands of years and attracted learners to their vibrational thought forms. The learner feels ‘special’, or included, focussed, and headed in some direction rather than going nowhere. They are relieved because they are not lost and in chaos.

They do not know that they are being carried towards a plane of reality that is held by thoughtforms, rather than a reality where they can experience what they are and make the changes that lift them into higher states or vibrations. Those thought forms of paradise or heaven do not magnetically tolerate new thoughts or vibrations. They do not liberate souls - they hold them. Do not get me wrong . . . many just want to rest in peace (afterlife), find bliss (ruminate in feel-good feelings), and escape this current reality, and I don’t blame them, but they have no idea of the options that do exist should they look deeper.

The 5D idea of reality is also fed by such notions, but the reality is that they have superior weaponry, and interstellar civilizations who have experienced wars, and gone through change themselves. There is no escaping ourselves! Whether we live in 3D, 4D or 5D and beyond . . . it all comes down to personal vibration. Our personal vibration determines our time-space coordinates. But how do we attain these higher coordinates?

Firstly, by the ideas we hold in our mind. Where did we get them from and where did they get them from? The Source had better be lofty and self-actualised!

Secondly, our motive for becoming that idea. Are we trying to escape or be rescued? Are we desperate or deserving? Are we delusional and captured?

Thirdly, the self-mastery we have attained through application. All higher vibrations demand self-sacrifice - we lose the attachments (beliefs and ideas) to the current one to access the next one.

Fourthly, have a robust, honourable and dependable base of knowledge. The maps that lead to higher vibrations are not for free. The cost was that map-makers or pioneers gave up every ounce of what they were, to trial and effort the ‘way’, and the further they went, the higher the understanding.

There is nothing haphazard about navigating personal space. Chaos, valleys and mountains, shadows and light are all a part of the journey. Everything has a place and a reason!
