as•cend v. :
To go or move upward; rise.

Part I: Awakening
“Life is but a dream”

In order to understand the ascension process, you must first understand that you are God. We all are. Your soul is a dream that God is having, and your current life is a dream that your soul is having. In truth, we are simply God experiencing God. This illusion of separation is both a novel and necessary experience, for it helps us to expand the parameters of All That Is. Our individual struggles and triumphs enrich the Oneness that is our true Being. It is within this state that we most readily grow, learn, and refine spiritually. We exist in this dream-within-a-dream state until we are ready to awaken. Ascension is that opportunity. Are you ready to awaken from the dream?

Part II: Preparation
“Owning Your Power”

Being awakened to the concept of life as a dream is very similar to the process of lucid dreaming. This is when you begin to realize that you are both the dream and the dreamer. You are becoming more conscious of your true Being, and this awareness elevates your vibration. The elevation in your consciousness and in your vibratory rate or frequency is the key to ascension. You begin to tune into different dreams and dreamers as your awareness shifts. Your expanded consciousness allows you to communicate with the many facets of your Being. You start to realize that you are a multidimensional being who is living many concurrent lives. The illusions of powerlessness, fragility, and mortality fall away as the full measure of your Being is realized. Your divinity becomes more and more undeniable. As the dream state illusions shatter, your ego’s fears are quietly replaced by the timeless wisdom of the heart. You release your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual limitations in preparation for the next phase.

Part III: Ascension
“Up, up, and away!”

The ascension process is nothing to fear. It’s as familiar to your soul as the feeling of going Home. Each of us has already ascended many times. We do so each time we leave Earth and return Home to the Other Side. This type of ascension occurs when the soul leaves its Earthly vessel, the body, and we ascend in consciousness back to the exquisite beauty and perfection of Home. This Homecoming is a joyful experience, one which our soul wholeheartedly enjoys. We feel so free, so healed, so happy, and so profoundly close to God. Leaving the body and ascending in consciousness is both familiar and incredibly enjoyable. Ascension is always reason for celebration!

But, this isn’t the only type of ascension. Another will soon be available to all who desire it. Souls who are ready to graduate from this third dimensional school will ascend to a higher level of consciousness. Thousands of souls have gone before them, and these Ascended Masters act as loving guides and teachers for the students in this realm. The Ascended Masters are helping us prepare for the largest mass graduation, or ascension, in all Creation. Earth’s ascension coincides with that of other inhabited worlds. In fact, we will experience a universal graduation ceremony. Our graduation date, which was set many millennia ago, is fast approaching. Earth’s population has swelled as souls busily finish their education here. Along with enlightened beings from other realms, there are many old souls, or alumni, here to assist with the ascension. Even loved ones and members of our soul family who are on the Other Side are excitedly preparing for our ascension. They know that we will soon be reunited. We are about to break through the veil that separates our realm from the higher, more loving and unified, levels of consciousness. The real joy is in knowing that we don’t ever have to experience birth or death again. Once we graduate, we are free of the reincarnation cycle. New graduates, or Ascended Masters, may choose to return to the school of life as teacher-guides, while other will explore the higher realms of consciousness. These are but two of your infinite options. Your soul will have complete freedom of choice, coupled with an eternity to explore all possibilities. To prepare for your soul’s graduation, shift your consciousness to your heart, and then connect your heart to the heart of Mother Earth and Father Sky. Do not worry about when or how the ascension will take place; instead, trust your soul to be your guide. Once you are through the process, an epic celebration awaits.

Congratulations, Graduate! You’ve ascended.

Angel blessings,

Now, any of you who are older than forty years of age probably recognize these words immediately. For those of you too young enough to recall, or those not exposed to 60’s TV in Canada, these are the opening lines from Gilligan’s Island, a sit-com about seven castaways on a small tropical island which began in 1964 and ran three or so years. It was a simple comedy that made people laugh. As we grew older and watched reruns of the show, the inevitable jokes began. A predominant one was, “If the Professor was so smart, why could he not fix the hole in the boat?” After all, it was miraculous what the man could do with the flotsam and jetsam the tides brought to the island and yet, with all his ingenuity, he could not fix a simple hole in a small wooden boat. Of course, as viewers, we know he is not meant to fix the boat. He fixes the boat, the castaways get off the island, and the show is over. Then we are left looking for something else to fill that time gap. Herein lies the nemesis of television: how long to allow a show to run its course? Unfortunately, here in North America we do not understand the principle of allowing a show to die with dignity. Depending with whom you are talking, there are varied answers for this, greed often being credited as the main motivating factor. This may or may not be a valid reason, but I believe there is a deeper factor than just money. (How naive can I be?!?)

Whether I am being simplistic or naive, I believe the problem lies in ‘filling the gap’. We, as a culture, have become obsessed with the notion that we should always be doing something, or else we are wasting precious time. Ironically, the last fifty years have introduced us to an incredible array of gadgets that really are a marvel but which allow us to waste time at an incredible rate. Even when we become dissatisfied with the latest gadgets we often buy others in our quest to fill the gap. This idea of constantly ‘doing’ is so ingrained in us, that people who have spontaneously awoken to the conundrum of always ‘doing’ and begun to walk a more spiritual path may ask, “What can I be doing to help speed up the process of enlightenment?” The answer can be perplexing and less than satisfying. This answer is found in the title of this piece: Wei Wu Wei. Simply put, Wei Wu Wei means, “to do without doing”. Put another way, it means simply to be…to be in your space; to be in touch with who you are.

There is meditation, self reflection, yoga, tai chi and countless other ways to discover who you really are. The key is not to try to find yourself, for even you have set or preconditioned ideas of whom you are. We are told our whole lives who we are and it can be quite hard to ignore a lifetime of conditioning. There exists a meditation that helps you focus on the gap (space/time) between each breath rather than the breath itself, but it really does not matter how you obtain the gap. Once you get there, removed from all external influences, what you will find is unique. Without even looking, you will discover the authentic YOU. This ‘new’ discovery will bring you peace and happiness because everything will feel so right that you just accept it. With this acceptance you will find that the discombobulated pieces of your life will start to fit together in harmony. All this will happen without you doing anything other than being still long enough to meet the real you.

So, just sit right back and enjoy the gift: the gift of Wei Wu Wei, the gift of YOU!

In love and light,

Steve
