Again Defining Ascension

On this site I've posted many times what the word "ascension" means in the context of what's happening on the planet currently. It's time to do it again. While I have myself defined it many times, I found that these few paragraphs from Sandra Walter at Creative Evolution summarize pretty well what ascension means.

Ascension is not about leaving the planet, getting rescued by off-world brethren or flying up into heaven. It is not about watching the Shift unfold online, or waiting for the external world to provide evidence of inner change. Ascension is a conscious choice to engage in evolution.

When consciously activated, the Ascension process affects every aspect, level and layer of a person’s beingness. The physical, emotional, mental, egoic and spiritual structures undergo acute transformation, evolving to meet the demands of a higher level of consciousness.

The Awakening Phenomenon is one of the more impressive effects of the Shift. Amidst the external changes – political, social, financial, spiritual, solar and planetary - people encounter profound internal change due to the ascending frequencies. This heightened awareness returns wisdom, knowledge and a connection to divine aspects of the Self which had been dormant for thousands of years.

This ascension is about welcoming Soul Essence into the body. Becoming the fullness of who we are, while still maintaining a physical body. Having the body physically evolve in astounding ways while still inhabiting it.

It's an astoundingly beautiful process, and the result even more profound. Being aware of this process comes with its responsibilities, but it also comes with profound honor. To be able not only to experience it, but to know we're experiencing it, to welcome and cherish the experience .. well, there just aren't words to describe what a profound honor that is.

I would add that this process is enhanced by conscious choice, but doesn't require conscious choice. Just because our family, our friends, and/or our associates don't have a clue about the ascension process doesn't mean they aren't being affected by it. They are!

It's like the air we breath. The air we breath is shared by all of us. It's the same air no matter who we are or where on the planet we are. Some of us realize how crucial conscious breathing is, others just breathe and don't think twice about it. So too, some of us realize what's happening as the Earth and Humanity ascend, and some don't. Others couldn't be bothered if they did know.

Think of it this way: One doesn't need to know how a car operates, or be able to build one or repair one, in order to drive one. It helps, especially when there's a breakdown! but is far from necessary. Some of us "hold the space" for those in our lives, and in the world, who are not aware. Be assured that no individual will be left behind who chooses, at the soul level, to move into the ascension. The purpose of this site, and many many others, is to support those who are consciously aware of it, and choose to move forward from that awareness.

Here's more from Sandra, taken from her article "Facing the Unknown at Zero Point."

Facing the Unknown at Zero Point
by Sandra Walter, Creative Evolution, November 28, 2012

I described how a vortex works in my eCourse last week; how the Earth is passing through the smallest part of the hourglass right now. We get the galactic squeeze for a few more months, with the big push on December 21.

Besides the chaotic effect it has on our schedule, it also provides a brilliant possibility which we have been waiting for a long time. A blink to the Milky Way, or 300,000 years for many of us.

This galactic squeeze creates a few unique experiences:

• Diminishing Magnetosphere – different frequencies of light penetrate the planet and everything on and in her being
• Dimensional overlap – aka thinning of the veils, aka Astral collapse, aka global warming
• Rapid Evolution aka Jump time
• Dimensional Shift – if you’re on a planet ascending her frequency to birth a different experience. And we are.

Ascension is the Evolutionary step unfolding on this planet

Everyone must eventually match the platform (frequency/dimension/experience) to which Gaia is shifting, or you can’t exist here. No judgement, it is what it is. This particular Shift holds a few magical elements, and for those who consciously choose to use this window of opportunity, the experience can be miraculous.

It’s time for no time: braving new Zero Point territory without a map

Zero Point is the underlying energetic of absolute interconnected stillness from which all experiences are born. It’s the glimmer of clarity when the mind stops creating a false reality. It’s the presence of all that is; infinite and neutral, awaiting a thought to create something from its boundless state of possibility.

The illusions of a dense vibration are dissipating as we reach Zero Point. Time wobbles, speeds up, slows down and gets very funky during a dimensional shift. Least valuable gift for the holidays this year: a watch.

The very planet we love and live on is utilizing the dynamics of the galactic squeeze in December to create the Brand New. For those who choose to create an experience in alignment with where the Shift is going, rather than be at the mercy of evolution, it’s time to face the bold unknown on the 12-12-12.

...

Why do this?

To free yourself from Illusion. To serve HUmanity and Gaia in an incredible way. To bring harmony, divine wisdom and unconditional love onto this planet. To know your true Self and embody the highest aspects of your I AM Self. To merge with your 5D/6D Self and walk between worlds. To show others what is possible, and assist them as they evolve. To BE the REturn of the Christ.

Update: In re-reading this piece, I realize that I've left something out. I should add that it's about ascension from one perspective: what happens to get us to and through the ascension moment, the zero-point of reaching the Galactic Center, the ending of third density as an option for this planet. What happens after that is another soul choice.

Some of us (I count myself among this group) will continue on in a human body to both aid and assist others in continuing to raise their vibration, and at the same time to manifest in physicality the New Earth. There are infinite paths for this option, as there is not just one New Earth being created.

For others, their mission as a human moving toward planetary and racial ascension will be complete, and they will move on to whatever is their next desire or assignment. It truly is as if we're graduating from college. Some will move on to yet higher education, some will go to work, some will take time off, and every variation in between.
