Ascension is basically a change in the focus of consciousness. It is the natural, on-going evolutionary process of all Creation. As eternal, spiritual beings, we were created by God to expand through experience. When we choose to incarnate in the dense, physical, third dimension, we descend. We come to Earth again and again in order to experience, learn, and master this most difficult of dimensions with unconditional love. This choice greatly accelerates our spiritual evolution. The only problem is, we fall asleep in matter. We get bogged down in materiality, thinking that it is our total reality. We forget that we come into incarnation in order to return to the spiritual realms with added wisdom and experience. This is ascension. This is our goal.

All life is ascending . . . the plants, the rocks, the animals, each in its own time in its own individual way. The Earth, as a living being, is also ascending. It is happening according to the Divine Plan whether we know about it or not. Only the resistance to this process is painful.

This natural evolutionary process can be greatly assisted by consciously choosing to commit to our personal ascension. Our personal awareness and choice is so important. Spirit will never force us to accept love, joy, and inner peace. Our free will choice is always honoured. By ending our resistance, we can move rapidly forward without the pain and struggle so often associated with human life.

In past ages, ascension occurred after the death of the physical body. When souls decided to plunge totally into the dense realm of matter, they found they needed many human bodies to spiritualise physical form. When too many mistakes were made in one body and it was exhausted, the body was discarded. A period of rest was experienced without the body, then a new body was formed to allow a fresh start. Memory of other incarnated mistakes was blotted out, not as a punishment, but as a gift of beginning again, without entanglements, to meet the challenge of spiritualising the physical body. The soul, of course, retained the memories. As more and more of the soul is incorporated into the consciousness, "remembering" past experiences becomes easier.

This process of reincarnation has progressed far enough for the proportion of spirit to matter within the body to improve considerably. Now it is possible for people to ascend with the physical body, no longer needing to leave it behind.

The process of Ascension
Earth is in the process of elevating in vibration in order to attain the state of a star. The process of the elevation in vibration is known as ascension. The process of ascension involves many stages of initiations or tests, and as each test is passed, the body or planet at large increases in vibration. Humanity, the dolphin and whale communities, along with the plant, animal and mineral kingdoms are well under way in their ascension process and have been for some time.

Ascension is about growth of the Soul and expansion of our consciousness. It is about accepting full responsibility for everything we think and do. It is about falling in love with ourselves and about releasing all those fears that inhibit the full expression of who we are. Ascension is about regaining our self-respect in the full knowledge that we are magnificent beings of Light who know the power of love and who live every moment of every day by that principle. It is about actively being in service to that principle and therefore able to love our enemies, knowing that there is no such thing as an enemy. It is about seeing everyone, no matter who they are, as part of ourselves and therefore, to be revered in the same way that we revere ourselves, regardless of their behaviour towards us.

What does ascension involve?
Many people have noticed the strange changes in weather patterns occurring all over our planet, but they are minor compared to the cosmic and spiritual changes happening not only to the Earth, but to all the levels of life upon the planet.

Life as we know it is rapidly changing, and while it is wonderful and enlightening to study ancient traditions, and ponder on whether or not other life forms exist throughout the galaxy, we are fast running out of time.

Life exists throughout the universe in physical and non-physical forms and many visitors from these other civilisations are on hand to assist us through the great changes about to take place on our planet. These loving and intelligent beings are here to assist in keeping the energies in balance, and to assist humanity and the earth in the ascension process.
