Are You Delaying Your Full Awakening?

The following piece is from Sophia Love, titled "10 Things Preventing Your Ascension".

However .. I've personally stopped using the word "ascension" as it's confusing for people and tends to sound like something it isn't. Ascension isn't going someplace or achieving something or magically becoming non-human .. so that all those pesky human problems go away. No, it's coming the full remembering, realization, and acceptance of who you really are as a being, a creator being, and utilizing the full power of that knowing.

Once you've experienced that remembering, in even the tiniest way, all there is to do is begin using your powers as a creator to enjoy your existence and experiences, in true creator fashion. If you don't like the way an experience is unfolding for you .. change it! You can you know. In the blink of an eye. In a heartbeat. You just have to know that you can, and utilize that power.

So instead of "ascension" let's call this process we're all going through "awakening." There isn't any "arrival point" as the word "ascension" implies, but rather an unfolding, and quite a delicious unfolding at that. Awakening is a process. You won't ever be "done". Being "done" isn't the point. Experience is the point .. and you are already experiencing! .. but perhaps without understanding where your experiences are coming from.

Your "life" as a human is your personal stage play. You are the author, the producer, the director, the actor, and the audience! How will you write the story of You? How will you play it? How will you direct it? How will you observe it? How will you retell it? It is yours in every sense of the word. All that stands in your way of directing it consciously is laid out beautifully by Sophia (below).

10 THINGS PREVENTING YOUR ASCENSION

By Sophia Love

It’s like climbing a ladder using every other rung. Oh, all of the rungs are there, perfectly willing to support you. Only you don’t see all of them. Every other rung is cleverly hidden beneath familiar things.

These things are not really physical. These things are emotional. These things are intellectual. They seem so real however, that when you reach for that next rung, it is out of sight & beneath one of these familiar things.

They are now serving as very clever camouflage. Here are their names:

• Fear
• Safety
• Embarrassment
• Insecurity/Doubt
• Arrogance
• Habit
• Ego*
• Social Programming/Education
• Role/Status (Self-defined)
• Memories/Confusion

Now the specific patterning of the camouflage is different for each, yet they are all constructed using some component of at least one of these ten things. That means, in essence, that each covering will vary slightly but is based on a falsehood that hides the truth. For none of these things are real. They are camouflage. The ladder exists for each of us to climb. Every rung is in place.

What we must do now is uncover them so that we continue to ascend. There will be no falling.

We are awake now and we know about the high-tech camouflage that can make things look as if they don’t exist.

This part can get a bit tricky because the high-level technology that covers every other rung on our ladder was created by us. It’s our own stuff. That means it’s brilliant.

This climb demands sheer determination and tenacity. You must be willing to first notice and then take a step back before responding to what you notice. Examine each piece. It will be uncomfortable. It may be sad, shocking or scary. You are going to feel vulnerable. You may want to call me a liar and say (in a sort of angry voice) “There is no rung there! I’ve been alive 25, 35, 45, 55, 65, 75, 85 or 95 years and if it was there I’d have seen it!”

It’s there.

This climb to enlightenment is not even a climb really. There’s no place to ascend to. Not really.

That’s why you can’t fall.

All the rungs? They are actually deeper levels of awareness.

What you’ll see as you “ascend” is the beauty of your own truth. You’ll witness your divine self.
You’ll embrace your eternal essence in absolute perfection. You’ll experience bliss.

These sheets of camouflage are illusory and they are all that’s stopping you from loving yourself. Really loving yourself. No conditions. No exceptions. All out, pedal to the metal, no brakes agape.

Self-love IS the shift.

Let nothing stop you, regardless of how brilliant or clever or familiar it seems.

You know better.

Remember.

You are the one you’ve been waiting for.

With appreciation for all that you are,
Sophia

Much obliged.

* Sophia uses the word "ego" here. I'd like to clarify that ego is not the enemy. It's not something to run away from .. nor could we if we tried. Ego a very important part of being human. Without what we refer to as ego humans would have no automaticity - we'd have to consciously manage every little detail of our "life". The problem has been that because we were playing this game of pretending NOT to be the creator beings that we are, we have been self-programming our ego to manage tasks it was never meant to manage. You can take back a run-away ego by re-programming yourself consciously rather than continuing to operate unconsciously (ie - without awareness).

It takes diligence, it takes noticing when our ego is running a program that is no longer in our best interests, but it can be done. The more you reprogram yourself consciously, the less and less "rogue" your ego will seem. Over time you'll notice vast improvements in your ability to act rather than react .. unless you are consciously choosing to maintain whichever reactions that you wish to maintain. That's the beauty of ego .. it only does what we tell it to. We just need to be aware of what we're directing it to do!
