The following is a recent article by Carolyn on Spiritual Mastery. It is a great piece, so I am sharing it with you here:

Who strives to be a master and to have mastery in all they do? There are many examples of mastery, but I am thinking in particular of some of golf’s US Masters winners as I write this.
Who would deny that Tiger Woods is a master in golf, his chosen profession? He seems to continuously overcome every possible challenge and he has an aura of confidence in all he does. Who cannot watch his game and enjoy the skill and proficiency that he displays to the world?

The more intense the struggle in a match; the closer the competition; the brilliance of the play shows us the perfection he has reached. All of us recognize his mastery and we admire it, however, this didn’t come without hours of practice and a dedication for perfection. When we watch him, we know he is completely committed to his craft and it defines him.

Sometimes we struggle against overwhelming odds, which perhaps does not end in victory for us. Yet each step, whether successful or a failure in our eyes, brings us closer to what I am referring to as spiritual mastery.

Here in our dimension it seems that it is only the successful outcome that is important, and not how we played the game that counted. How often is success defined by the amount of money we have accumulated and not the journey? We might judge an experience as a failure where it actually was a lightning rod for gaining much understanding of our motives; how we related to others and all life around us. However, the end did not appear as we thought it should and therefore we judged it a failure and dismissed it.

I am thinking now of Thomas Edison. According to his biography, he started school late due to a childhood illness. His mind often wandered and his teacher frequently called him “addled”. He was kicked out of school three months after starting, and was partially deaf at a young age. His mother home schooled him then as she was previously a teacher and she encouraged and taught him to read and experiment.

Though his challenges might have seemed overwhelming for finding success in this world, he eventually had 1093 patents issued in his name.  He became the master of his field; inventing.  He believed his accomplishments came through hard work and drive.

I am particularly intrigued by the process that was required for him to find a suitable filament for the light bulb. His world was a world of gas lighting and the idea of electricity was not new, but the components were not invented at this time. Others had attempted to produce a light bulb but a filament had not been found that could keep the bulb lit for any length of time.

Edison said that he had tested over 6,000 vegetable growths before he found that a carbonized sewing thread was successful in burning for over thirteen hours. At each failure he told his workers that they had found one more thing that didn’t work and that they didn’t have far to go to find one that did work.        

Before Mr. Edison could bring electricity into people’s homes he had to understand and invent the parallel circuit, an improved dynamo, underground conductor network, devices for monitoring constant voltage, safety fuses and insulating materials, and light sockets with on/off switches.

This man was passionate about his work and certainly displayed his mastery. There were many other inventions to his credit such as the telegraph and the picture projector to name a few.

I am reminiscing over these two examples of humans who showed mastery in their chosen fields, though there are many others. I find myself doing this now because we are being called to our own mastery. This mastery is not to stand in the halls of inventors, or even display the control and acumen of sportsmen, but rather we are being called to be Spiritual Masters. If you go within and be still, you can feel this tug towards mastery. It is your soul prompting you to fulfill what you have promised to do before you incarnated.

The fact that you are living in these times of struggle means that you came to Earth to witness a graduation to a new world spiritual life. That is all you need to know because the old world is giving way to a new world and you are a part of it. 

However, what I seem to see is that too many are still caught up in their schedules and job descriptions and have not awakened enough to fathom what might be possible. Without a vision to see what is possible, there can be no mastery, nor is there passion.

So my dear friends, I write this to discuss the possibilities of NOW.

What do we take for granted about life?

Ageing Bodies
We have accepted the fact that our bodies will age and our life force will diminish.
We grow older and expect that we will struggle with infirmities.
We don’t think of it too much, but at some point we accept that we will die.

Abilities
We have already attained what is possible with our drive and DNA inheritance.

Healing
We have physical problems that are caught up in the cycle of life and death and we accept that our body’s abilities are defined and cannot change.

Relationships
We have some relationships that seem static and we cannot change or heal them.
We define ourselves by what other people think of us.

But what if this is not really true?

What if this is only how we have defined ourselves and there is much more to us than what we have accepted as our fate? What if there is more to the process of Ascension than what we have dared hope to accept and believe? What if we are only bound by our thoughts and belief system and our future is unbounded and unfettered? What if there really was a Temple Beautiful in Atlantis and a process to rejuvenate the physical body?  What if these energies are flowering again, birthing those same rejuvenating processes in Earth as the Atlantean cycle ends? What if energies have come to Earth bringing forth all of our hopes and dreams if only we open to the way of love? What if that love is the vehicle to release us from the hold of the dark and allow us to manifest all our most magnificent visions?
First of all I would like to say that our planet has been subject to many cycles in the course of its history, and that this cycle is unlike any other before it.
We started in Atlantis. We fell in understanding until we dropped into the lowest ebb in the density of vibration until the Earth Guardians thought that we would never find our way back. And here we are receiving the energies that were promised to us when we fell in understanding and awareness. Here we are; standing on the cusp of defining who we really are as a soul gathering experience in a human body.  
The dark has challenged us and now we stand at that moment where we are starting to understand the Mastery of who we are; the progeny of Source, All-There-Is, our Creator God in the center of the cosmos.

What does that mean?

First of all, we have to wake up! We must get out of the box that we have allowed to define us as Less Than. We have to be willing to accept the fact that this is a moment unlike any other moment which is unfurling itself upon the Earth. We have lived many lifetimes preparing ourselves for just this very moment. It is here at last and it is calling us to bring forth our Mastery. We now have tools that we have forgotten about that were lost in our forgetfulness since Atlantis.

What are the tools?

• We can follow a connective string that takes us to the center of the cosmos, and we can face our Creator as we did when our souls were originally brought forth into spiritual form. In doing this, we can ask Him questions and receive answers. Anyone can do this.
• We can connect to the Spiritual Hierarchy through a telephone call and bask in their wisdom and loving energies and understand the direction of the moment.
• We can see into the other side.
• We are able to clear our light body, or subtle bodies from all the trauma, terror and agony of past lifetimes that resides as stuck energy acting as the origin of our physical pain and suffering from disease.
• The energies are on planet Earth to rejuvenate the physical body and they came to our dimension on 11/11/2009 (11:11:11, a triple master number).
• The steps necessary to ascend are finally defined.
• Ascension is moving with the body and the soul to the Angelic Realm which is the next dimension higher than the high astral plain. This is the level where the light and dark are separated from one another. It is also the beginning of the journey which takes us whole and complete, body and soul through all the dimensions to finally unite with our Creator in the center of the cosmos.

As Masters

• We will be able to create with our mind. We are in the beginning stages of doing that in the present. We started out by using the components of the hard physical and created according to the rules and guidelines illustrated in such a manner as creating a house. We started with a blueprint; gathered the lumber, etc and followed the plan and brought forth our objective in this dimension as hard physical elements. 
• Through our imagination, we now create in this dimension by bringing forth energy from the Angelic Realm, clothing it with the imagery of our unfettered mind and making it our own in this dimension. This is illustrated by bringing forth our prosperity; creating something out of nothing by simply using our ability to create following the ability of our soul.
• We are working now on rejuvenating the physical body. We are starting to understand how to bend the rules of this dimension by changing the hard physical components according to our desires.
• All of this is possible if we understand and accept that the particles in our souls belong to our Creator and we must acknowledge that all creative powers come from this Creator as we ask All-There-Is to bless these accomplishments

These processes are currently available through Metatron Soul Healings and the healings at www.AngelicMessenger.com.
The actual process of Ascension begins with the energies coming to Earth through the December, 2012 solstice and will be completed in early 2013. www.the2012countdown.com  provides the background to this.
