It’s OK to Ascend. OK Not to – Part 1/2

Well, here we are – the first month of Donald Trump’s Presidency. All of his team are on board. Hopes and expectations are high.

And yet the conflict continues.

I think it was the Federation of Light who said that a certain percentage of people are awake, a certain percent have a chance of awakening, and the rest will not awaken this time around, no matter what.

That’s how it always is, is it not? And then we label them left, moderate, and right, liberal, center, and conservative, etc.? Reflecting our own biases, of course. But there’ll always be a spread because people are at different places on the one same journey we all take from God to God. (1)

OK Not to Ascend

We used to think that it’d be terrible for some folks, out of sheer stubbornness, to vote themselves off the Ascension train. We imagined all sorts of bad things happening to them.

And we felt guilty. “I didn’t do enough. I didn’t care.”

Regret not. The choice to not ascend attracts no blame from the higher dimensions. It’s one choice on the journey we all make. Let me explain.

Their lives will go on in their normal trajectory. They’ll die, spend time on the astral planes, and then incarnate on a planet suited to their karmic lessons. Admittedly Satanists and sadists will not like where they end up, but the reason for it is always rehabilitative, not punitive. (2)

Of them, the Mother says: “They will either die beforehand or die during, because they cannot incorporate the level of the love energy.”  (3)  Michael explains further:

Archangel Michael: There will be those who choose to leave, to abandon their physical forms rather than ascend in physical form.

Steve: That is what you mean by separation – leave?

AAM: That is what I mean and I do not mean being spun off [i.e., before death] into an alternate world or Earth or Gaia or planet. I mean simply, abandoning the body, dying, leaving, and coming home. There is no penalty or shame or guilt. It is simply a decision. 
(4)

They simply have (and had) different priorities and can catch the next train. Or the next. Or the next. So there’s no need for blame or regret.

Speaking from a lofty plane, the avatar Sri Ramakrishna colorfully said:

“All will surely realize God. All will be liberated. It may be that some get their meal in the morning, some at noon, and some in the evening; but none will go without food. All, without any exception, will certainly know the real Self.”  (5)

Knowing the real Self is what God wants from us, right?  So that God can experience knowing God? (6) Before whom there is no second?

(To be concluded in part 2, below.)

Any glint of light is seen by angel guides and encouraged. No one keeps the spirits here past their rehabilitation. Vibration determines everything.

It’s OK to Ascend. OK Not to – Part 2/2

(Concluded from Part 1, above.)

Conflict Continues

Meanwhile, those of us who are staying and ascending are looking at tremendous change in this 3rd/4th dimensional realm we believe we’re in at the moment.  Not only is this the case viewed from ground level and the Trump Effect; it’s also the case viewed from higher-dimensional levels where Ascension goes ahead apace.

Think for a moment of the organization it took to fight a world war. Think Eisenhower in WW2.

Now think for a moment, if you can, of the leadership and coordination of a global military alliance from the ground-level political side. That’s Trump and his colleagues (Putin, Xi, bin Salman et al.)

Everything they do is done in secret. But it spans the globe and is worked out to the last detail, I’m led to believe.

Now think for a moment of the organization it might take to ascend a planet, locked in conflict, en masse, into a new, multidimensional region of space, while keeping the physical body.

When I think of the last, I flash on putting a very large ship into a very small bottle. I hope there’s a trick to it.

Since ascending is a matter of remembering who we are, my speculation is that those who resist it blanket their resistance in lethargy (Greek: lethe or forgetfulness) and just don’t go there.

There’s a sign on the door: “Do Not Enter.” And, whether it’s our parent’s voice or a teacher’s or a police officer’s, we just don’t go there. And defend our choice.

Already in the Fifth

Another joker in the deck is that we may not realize where we are.

I maintain, and Michael has agreed, that we’re already in the Fifth Dimension and we just don’t realize it:

Steve: Are we in 5D and we just don’t realize it?

Archangel Michael: That is correct. (1)

He goes on to discuss what he means by that. I’ve posted that discussion separately below it’s of such interest.

In the experience of a wisp of love or bliss or ecstasy, we find that we have to recognize it for what it is before it expands and fills us up. Likewise here, we may have to recognize that we’re in the Fifth Dimension before that level of consciousness becomes solid and real – comes alive! – for us.

When I try to think about how it all works, I groan. And then I hear the Mother saying

Divine Mother: My being is bigger than you can fathom, dear one. So I do not simply mean that [Shakti] is an aspect manifesting. But it is simply larger than any of you can imagine, particularly at this point.  (2)

And her Being is my Self! Heavens. The task of knowing her – and myself – seems hopeless!

And then I remember what Sri Ramakrishna said as well. I think of it as the “Ramakrishna Defense”:  I didn’t come to the mango orchard to count mangoes. I came to eat them. (3)

So we needn’t think that we’ve personally failed if others around us, who are dear to us, fail or choose not to ascend.  The Mother and Michael tell us that no blame attaches and Sri Ramakrishna adds that they’ll have more chances until they’re liberated; that is, until God (the One) meets God (that’s us) again.

(3) Pasupati: Sir, what do you think of Theosophy and Spiritualism? Are these true? What do you think of the solar plane, the lunar plane, the stellar plane?

Master: My dear sir, I don’t know about these things. Why bother about them so much? You have come to the orchard to eat mangoes. Enjoy them. What is the use of your calculating how many mango-trees there are, how many millions of branches , how many billions of leaves? … Once a man’s inner spirit is awakened, once he succeeds in knowing God, he doesn’t feel the desire to know all this rubbish.
