Additional Clarification:
“Ascension” is a reference to the progression of our perspectives on reality. A distinct transition from one dominate focus dimension to another with expanded experiences and sensory perceptions then the previous. While ascension could be occurring gradually over a long period of time it could happen as quickly as a thought changes. While dissension is necessary in the completion of ascension, it is by comparing the new dimensions in focus to the old to determine if it was dissension or ascension which occurred. In this way any kind of learning or healing process is considered progression and it is only stagnation and stubbornness that is unnecessary in creation.
As one begins to be aware of their process of ascending, they attempt to comprehend what is occurring through their associations of separation. Therefore they classify the sensations they feel as in accordance for or against their ideas of what “ascension” is and if they are indeed ascending or descending. Such discrimination is only possible for those only beginning the process. The terms “transcendence”, “raising vibration” and “awakening” is often used in this same way and ultimately presented in these same layers.
The levels of Interpretations:
On “Acsension”
1. Better situations
Because of one’s association to the separated world, it is common to determine weather or not one is ascending by the condition of their life’s situations. Assuming that when they have pleasant and joyful experiences then they must be progressing in the direction of a “higher” or “holiness” position, leading to being accepted by a separate being, into a place were everything they ever desired is fulfilled.
However, this is always accompanied by fear, pain and suffering when situations appear to suggest that the perceiver is descending, and therefore declining to a place where they only repeatedly experience everything they despise and hate. Still Living life blindly controlled by their cravings and aversions, unaware they have chosen them and run in circles.
Completely unaware that to ascend one must embrace, not avoid any and all circumstances or feelings. For it is only within what we avoid, do we find the truth we have hidden from ourselves. We can not ascend the world our self lives if we maintain the self that lives in it. You must embrace your eternal self to enter the eternal world.
2. Success
With the way we have structured society we have the assumption that when a greater amount of the population agrees with us then what they believe must be more accurate then other believes catered to a smaller population. In the same way is it easy to assume we are ascending by grace when we have a greater financial return. Assuming that those successful and/or popular are of a greater value and must therefore be more accepted by “God”.
However this belief comes accompanied by many forms of anxiety, for when we classify others by their advancements in society, also do we compare ourselves by our status. Assuming that our ascension comparable to the position of others, often in the reverse position watching a teacher, guru or church grow in popularity and success must be because they are in “gods “ favor and therefore easier to believe. Insisting that everyone couldn’t be wrong about them.
Completely unaware of the development of the ego construct which is designed to make everything including spiritual things misunderstood in a fashion to bring attention back to the separated physical world. It can make the most enlightened paths into another dogmatic ritual with no success. We can not ascend to a unified experience if we do not think in a unified fashion. Just because a collective of people think in unison, does not mean they recognize themselves as unified.
3. Happiness
This physical perspective is based off the concept of separation, which has been described as the “knowledge of good and evil”. Therefore it is common to believe that one would feel “happy”, “joy” or more “love” on the path to ascension. That even to be “blissful” or at “peace” are indicators of ones progress. Believing that to feel good must mean that our vibration must be higher then when we are feeling sad or depressed.
However this belief comes with major changes in mood, excessively happy at times but majorly depressed at others with no balance in perspective, regardless of situations. Assuming that they must have made a mistake or done something the deserve the punishment or karmic suffering.
Completely unaware that one must be even, balanced, and complete in accepting all their traits, attributes and feelings in order to be the whole essence that they are ascended. We can not be who we actually are if we deny ourselves of any attributes that may be arising in our existence. While it seems like we can understand our feelings, if we think some are different then others we are processing them through the concept of separation and therefore would process the ascended reality the same way.
4. Love
Mostly due to spirituality discussions about love, many people continue to interpret love to be the opposite or absence of anger or hatred. Being a misunderstanding of a love which is not based on circumstances. While love is inevitable on the journey, it is not strictly “loving situations” which are not resentful, dramatic or stressful. Many insist that ascension is determined by how lovey-dovey one is. It is true that people can feel loved and cared for by such people simply by their presence.
However this belief comes with an intense frustration that usually arises due to feelings toward how others express their love with them. Relationship are usually difficult because they insist they must feel love in a specific way or it is not what love is.
Completely unaware that love, which doesn’t judge, can not determine what it is or how it should be expressed. Love is the source which expresses through every aspect, it is not strictly its “feeling” but all things, people and actions. One can not ascend to a complete awareness of the wholeness of love, if they determine and judge a difference between what is love and what is not.
5. Knowledge
In many ways the expansion of knowledge is idealized by us conscious beings, always seeking to understand and become more wise. We even insist we can feel if specific thoughts have a more validity or “resonate” more. Yet this translation is only done by a consciousness. Often we believe we progress when we understand better, even if it the concept of getting out of understanding and instead embrace the thoughts we consider more appropriate, holier or loving.
However this belief comes with an intense identification with its ideas and beliefs and often resist others when they are challenged or disagreed with. Even when suppressed, there is a stubbornness to maintain one’s beliefs regardless of others teachings. They must believe it is their ideas or have thought of it first themselves.
Completely unaware that thoughts are not actually something tangible but are guiding our attention in the direction of the waves and frequencies of energy we actually experience. One can not ascend to the full awareness of consciousness when they have yet to accept that their thoughts don’t actually exist, only its beliefs make them real.
6. Transformation
It is very common for miraculous works to be idolized and believed to performed by the holier, more enlightened and godly. Many insist that miraculous transformations occur when one is ascending. As if the physical experience is acclimating to their presence and ascending with them.
However this belief comes with a sense of irritation and bitterness towards objects and the deliberate decisions of people to do things that harm themselves, and not recognize the possibility of transformation. Believing everything is lacking intelligence to be able to salve the puzzle of life like they have.
Completely unaware that miracles are not something that can occur more, regardless of one’s ascension but only by one’s awareness of them. While the memory and presence of their changes are hidden from our memory, they are a natural occurrence in the way the universe is designed to alter in reflection to the total consciousness living it. One can not ascend when they still believe they are within a world and the world is not within them.
7. Transcendence world and private thoughts
While true, there are degrees of misunderstanding what it means to ascend, transcend or even recognizing the One consciousness. Every understanding is helpful in that very process of coming from a separate, independent, and physical perspective to to the unified, transparent, and illuminated perspective. It is natural in the design of the physical perspective to make shape and form out of every sensation it experiences however it does not have construct in that way.
However the belief in this ascended reality often comes with angst and urgency to reach it. Insisting one must do it quickly and accurately. Pushing themselves further and faster then necessary. In turn exasperating every block and distraction simultaneously, while possible, this more likely leads to feeling overwhelmed and unable to apply the process to every aspect just as rapidly.
Completely unaware that this reality they crave to experience is already here. That this physical place called a “world” is not a world at all. It is the wholly Spiritual Universe, reflecting back our current desires, old or new, sharing our journey with us as the journey. Ascension in anyway is only possible because this is true. It is all a reflection of our one mind and changes right along with us. Ascension seems to reveal a new place only because our minds have crossed the threshold of beliefs where it no longer has a choice of maintaining the previous physical perspective anymore.
