What is ascension?
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.

A change in Vibration
Everything consists of vibrations - including your body and the earth you live on. Take for instance, the physical properties of a piece of ice. The only difference between ice, water and steam is in their various vibrational rates - ie, the speeds at which the electrons orbit the nucleus of each atom. By heating up the ice you raise it's vibrational rate until you can hardly see it. That doesn't mean it no longer exists, it just exists at a higher vibration - any higher and you wouldn't see it at all.

A long time ago the Earth existed at a much higher vibration (dimension) than it does today, but events took place that resulted in the Earth and its inhabitants dropping down to a lower vibration - the 3rd dimension - the physical reality we see around us today.

With every decrease in vibration/dimension, humanity lost more and more consciousness (and lifespan) until they forgot who they were, and why they were here. They even forgot that they were part of a greater whole. We have existed in a 'loop' pattern for thousands of years thinking we are the most important species in the universe - the pinnacle of evolution. The same patterns are played out over and over again, generating wars, drama, disease and karma. Even 'death' as we know it is unknown on higher dimensions. We have lost our ability to regenerate and repair our bodies so we just get old and die. And because we don't live long enough to understand who we really are, we have to re-incarnate - i.e., be reborn into another body time and time again until we remember who we are and why we are here.

What if we were given the help, energy and information to once again learn how to raise our vibrations to the point where we no longer were 'kept in the dark'? Where our intuitive powers were restored, where we could regenerate our bodies, and graduate from the fear-based world we live in, to a world of unconditional love and co-operation? What we are talking about is our own world existing at a higher vibration than it does now, populated by those of us who have also raised our consciousness vibration high enough to live upon the new earth. That is what 'ascension' is - a return up the vibrational/dimensional scale. Global warming is just one sign that Earth is increasing in vibration.

The planet itself is ascending to a higher level of vibration. By concentrating our energies on ascending rather than survival, we will be doing a great service for the planet that has served us so well, not to mention our own evolution.

All of the plant, animal, mineral, dolphin and whale kingdoms have made the intention to ascend with the Earth. Only humanity is still in the dark. Our consciousness has been in the dark for so long, that just the thought that this could be possible takes a bit of getting used to!

How do we ascend?
The energy is now available for those who want to ascend to do so, it's just that some of the information on 'how' to do it has been lost or hidden.

Those humans who are leading the way in the ascension process are actually 'mapmaking' - acting as pathfinders for others to follow. They have to retrieve missing genetic information that tells the body how to change it's cells into a 'crystalline' form that can begin to hold a higher vibration (hence all the channelings about DNA). They are then sharing the information or making it available on an etheric level for others to use in their ascension. Consequently, it will become easier for newly awakened humans to ascend.

Apart from the 'intention' to ascend, there's a lot of personal issues and karma that will need to be addressed and worked through as part of the ascension process. Those who decide to take this path must be prepared to take personal responsibility for themselves, their thoughts and behaviour. It also means a gradual letting go of people, situations and lifestyles that we have come to take for granted in the 3rd dimension.

What if we don't ascend?
People that do not choose to awaken will continue to live on earth, but disease will become more prevalent as the vibration of the Earth they live on will continue to rise and not be compatible with their bodies' lower vibration. After earth ascends, living on this planet will no longer be an option for them and the most likely scenario is that most will succumb to disease. They will be reincarnated onto another 3rd dimensional planet to continue their evolution.

Global Shifts
Gaia is the energetic name for what is called Mother Earth. She is a living, breathing entity and very much a part of your own energetic system. Even knowing that she is connected, you have treated this part of yourself with such disdain over the years and over your lifetimes. Therefore, it was necessary to appoint temporary guardians of this energy to ensure the survival of the Game. It was not until recently that you have begun to tread lightly upon the planet which supports your own energetic structure. Now the tide has turned and with it the opportunity to reclaim your power has come to you once again. You have been offered this opportunity five times throughout the history of your Game. Each time, you have not been able to hold your true power. Each time it was necessary for Gaia to fully cleanse herself, to relieve herself of the tension of the misdirected energy, which you created through your actions. These have been the global shifts that have happened five times thus far in the history of Planet Earth.

Stay and create Heaven on Earth
The ascension process is not about leaving; it is about staying. It is about staying and creating Heaven on Earth. As above, so below.

Crystalline form
The Earth Mother, along with the plant, animal and mineral kingdoms, and humanity, are currently undergoing a genetic transmutative process to the "crystalline form". The crystalline form has a different biochemical structure that allows any embodiment to hold a higher vibration. The crystalline form also allows for the experience of an ageless and disease-free life experience. The plant, animal and mineral kingdoms are also in the process of becoming crystalline in form. The planet at large, is a body and is not unlike a human body in relation to the crystalline conversion process. We know that with the human form, the crystalline conversion occurs gradually, and certain parts of the body are converted a little at a time. This is also true for the Earth Mother. Some parts of her, especially those areas that are related to energy ley lines and vortexes, are rapidly becoming crystalline in form. Other areas will not become crystalline until later in her ascension process.

Dissolving all present thoughtforms
Earth is in the process of creating well-being and harmony for itself. The nature kingdoms are doing the same. Humanity must choose for itself. Humans that choose to release the past and move along with both Earth and the nature kingdom, will have a very different future than the humans that do not choose to release the past. Everything shall change. There is no present thought-form, no present technology that is going to make the shift into the next dimension. Only that which is conscious shall survive. That which is conscious is all species upon Earth, including the plant, animal and mineral, dolphin and whale, and those humans whom are awakening. There is nothing in your world that shall remain as Earth's vibration reaches a high enough vibration to dissolve it. This shall include the buildings that you rely upon, the cement of your roads, the plastic that you contain things in, and the craft and technology that you perceive as so very important. None of it shall be a part of Earth's future in the centuries ahead. Those who die will carry on with their indebted circumstance in another 3rd dimensional creation.

Learn to experience feeling
Feeling occurs as initiates retrieve their emotional and intuitive bodies in full. Feeling is important to the act of ascension. Soul collects records and experience in ascension not through language, but through the act of feeling. Emotions are the main language that soul understands. Furthermore, no emotions equals no communication with God-Goddess-All That Is. And one wonders sometimes why one's prayers may seem unanswered!  It is because without an emotional or intuitive body, one lacks the very components necessary to communicate with soul or God-Goddess-All That Is.  How can one appreciate nature, a beautiful sunset, a beach, a redwood forest, a snow-capped mountain, if they do not feel? And what happens when one doesn't feel? They become bored and seek out entertainment through consumerism to fill the void. And so in learning to feel, one shall cease to depend upon entertainment or consumerism to feel alive, and shall experience authentic love. Authentic love comes not from entertainment or consumerism, but from soul dancing with soul. And soul can only be felt dancing with the form through the emotions. And as one learns to feel, one may feel the pain at first, but sooner or later one will also feel the love and soul and begin to be loved from the inside out. In becoming loved from within, one will cease to need to purchase anything to feel loved, and shall move off the treadmill of consumerism.

Surrender
Each manifestation is an ascension opportunity. All manifestations teach something about oneself and mirrors one's own unconscious state of being. For aspirants upon the spiritual path, each manifestation provides clues as to what needs to be released or cleared in order to continue to ascend. And so one surrenders to whatever is made manifest, and allows the manifestation to teach oneself that which one has manifested such an experience to come to understand. In so doing, one can learn from each creation and allow future creations to be more joyful as one clears the patterns at cause of a distorted outcome.

Global Warming
One manner of measuring an increase in earth's vibration is known as "global warming". The further Earth moves towards the next dimension or the attainment of becoming an Ascended Master, the warmer that she will become. This is simply because the increasing vibration causes the molecules of Earth to spin at a faster rate, which causes the temperature to simultaneously rise global wide.

Ascended Master
Ascended Masters have mastered 3rd dimensional reality, and therefore leave 3rd dimensional form to pursue endeavours upon the dimensions of life-forms that exist beyond the 3rd dimension. In a similar manner, Earth is complete with her experience in the 3rd dimension, and is now striving to embody a fifth dimensional vibration as a whole, and become a Global Ascended Master herself. Ascension brings forth the gradual change of Earth's biology, each species working together to ascend at a parallel pace. At this time, each species upon Earth is moving up in vibration in parallel to Earth thus matching her overall increasing global vibration.

Spontaneous combustion
Ascending without releasing all karmic ties to the 3rd dimension will result in either a spontaneous combustion or incomplete ascension, and thus require the soul to remain in the 3rd dimension to continue its evolution rather than ascend into the next dimensional experience.

The Pyramids as Ascension Chambers
Within the pyramids of ancient Egypt, initiates were gradually elevated in vibration a little at a time to embody eighteen rays or beyond over a many year time frame. This resulted in the cellular restructuring of their bodies to what is called "crystalline" in form. The final purpose of the initiations in Egypt was for initiates to transcend the experience of death and take their embodiment into the next dimension. In order to accomplish this, the cellular restructuring to the "crystalline" form was a necessity.

The pyramids were only required by those with a lower vibration (the partially conscious humanoid form) and therefore were deemed necessary to support ascension in this fashion. Each chamber within the pyramid utilised a variety of devices to hold a specific vibration necessary to ascend a form from 5024 to 45,000 strands of DNA. Initiates entered the pyramid for varying timeframes and learned to hold the vibrations within the chambers of their own accord.

The joining of the brain's hemispheres
You are in the process of reuniting the right and left hemispheres of your brain (which is the way it was designed to be). Once this is accomplished, wondrous things begin to happen: your creativity blossoms along with the mental agility and wherewithal to manifest your creative visions. You gain access to the levels of the brain which resonate to the frequencies of the higher dimensions, and you tap into the Light packets of wisdom and cosmic information that are stored there. The master glands within the brain are activated and you reconnect with the aspects of yourself that have lain dormant for thousands of years.

A new physical planet
The 5th Dimension or 5th World is not only spiritual.  It is a whole new physical world.  This is about the ascension process of the whole person - physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally.

Ascension Portals
When persons find themselves in the third dimension and seek diligently for understanding and then get it, they then go through a portal into the fourth dimension. And as soon as they arrive in this fourth dimension, they immediately start gathering information in order to attain understanding, or illumination, in order to pass through another portal into the fifth dimension.  And it is then an ever-expanding process of attaining greater knowledge and understanding of illumination, thereby finding ‘keys’ of energy that open other portals. And when you do this, you are therefore qualified to time travel, and you become multi-dimensional.

The Ascension Process
The process of returning to twelve strands of DNA in our current human form is known as Ascension. Ascension is the process by which the embodiment is elevated in vibration a little at a time until it embraces each of the seven rays, thereby vibrating in the unconditional love. In so doing, ten additional strands of DNA are connected within the circuitry of the body and the brain. As the embodiment elevates in vibration, and as the new DNA is connected, fear-based patterns and beliefs are released simultaneously and make room for the experience of more joy, creativity and self-expression.

In embracing the first set of twelve strands of DNA, one is considered "Christed." Many metaphysicians have spoken of the return of the "Christ." The return of "Christ" is and will be in the form of many who will embody the new genetics. The individual who has embodied twelve strands of DNA or has become "Christed" moves beyond limitation within human form. In moving beyond limitation, the individual also moves out of fear. As all of mankind embodies the new genetics, civilisation will gradually restructure itself to be based on unconditional love.

Transition from planet to star
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. (See Pathway to Cosmic Consciousness) 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.

Human ascension is difficult. There is not doubt about this. It is difficult because one must face their dark side, and their deepest fears. The heart must open to ascend. This is a necessity, and one must ask for it or it may not occur. Sometimes, the opening of the heart is painful. However, as the pain is processed in full, it leaves joy, passion, unity and divine union in its place. There is no other way than through the dilemma of the human fall in consciousness. Ascension cannot occur without processing and releasing that which no longer serves, including the pain and the fear.

Embrace the dark
For those whom are ascending, embracing your dark-side and releasing your unconscious agreements to be utilised by the dark, will prevent catastrophes from occurring within one's own life experience.  It is through the act of ascending that one will transit such harmfulness in full and embrace a new awareness that is unity based. Unity based awareness holds no thought-form of destruction, and therefore destructive tendencies are transcended in full as one embraces such awareness. The path of ascension is difficult, the distortions many, the veils of illusion so thick that it is difficult for most in human form to see beyond them. But for those that are willing to see and push past the illusion, you shall be supported.

Blocked meridians lead to disease
Every consciousness upon Earth must choose to ascend along with her, or it will die off. At this time, all species except mankind have chosen to ascend. Such species include all plant kingdoms, all animal kingdoms, all mineral kingdoms, and the dolphins and whales which are conscious beings. If mankind does not consciously choose to ascend, large portions of the population will become ill and the body will "die". This is simply the result of the increasing vibration of Earth's surface. As Earth increases to a vibration so high (and the human form does not also increase in vibration), the higher vibration of Earth's surface will cause the meridians of the subtle bodies to become blocked. This will simply be the result of too much chi running through subtle bodies that are not designed to receive so much chi. As the meridians become blocked, disease will occur within the form over time.

Critical Mass and Higher Vibration
When you evolve to an evolutionary stage that is a higher vibration of love, then you are no longer aware of the fear and the conflict. You are not living in that world. It may be explained as disappearing; it may be explained as a split in your awareness or planet. What you are truly saying is that when a moment happens that there is enough points of consciousness on your planet - and this will not just be humanity; this will also be your animals, your plants, all life forms - when there is enough points of consciousness that go beyond the vibration of conflict and fear, then they separate into a new nucleus. A critical mass will have been achieved. When you free yourself of fear, you cannot be in the vibration of fear because it is not in you. So, when that moment of critical mass consciousness comes, then there is enough focused consciousness to hold and sustain the creation of a world, as you know it to be. That is the split or rapture, as some may know it to be. It becomes impossible to interact with the lower vibration of fear at that point. The range of vibration is too wide.

Ascension Duality
It is important to realize that much will be brought forth, many changes will come in the time that is left here,before this new era dawns. Your conception of Time will almost stand still, it will be changed. Time will go at different rates. Sometimes, you may feel that many hours have passed when only a minute has passed. You will be entering different dimensional frequencies. You will be in other vibrational frequencies where the concept of time will be different. This will be only one of many experiences that you will have as your body and mind begin to accelerate toward a new dimensional frequency. You will begin to "see" time differently. You will begin to bring many other changes forth. You will then begin to realize that you are "SAFE" and that all of your experiences are happening in harmony with this Divine Plane of Acceleration of Ascension.

You are moving to a new level of existence and your being is working in new ways. You will be experiencing Time differently. You will feel, at times, "out of sync" with clocks and other tools that are used to measure the passing of liner Time. Know that this is an experience of great Love and Joy. These experiences are happening for many reasons. We can only encourage you to feel comfortable and bring forth these changes. If you simply relax and allow yourself to have these experiences without creating great concern about them, without fear doubt or alarm, but know that they are part of a new emergence of energy, of the shifts in in the magnetic fields. All these energy shifts that are being brought forth are all working to bring into the space that you occupy a new dimensional frequency. You are as in two places at the same time. Part of you will be feeling as part of you third dimensional, usual, frequency, and another part will be feeling the higher level of this dimensional frequency.

You will be in a unique position that has not occurred for many, many centuries upon this planet. The energy of matter is being stepped up and vibrating at a more rapid, refined frequency. This is all part of this dimensional shift. Some people will be on a higher vibrational frequency, and will still be on this plane of existence and functioning in their daily life, others will be vibrating at much higher rates and will be gone from this dimension as you perceive it.

And so it is that you will see this chair, and those of you that will be vibrating at a higher frequency will still see the chair, and those that are at still higher, more extreme variables of higher frequencies will not see this chair at all but will see in it's place a wholly different reality. But in essence, you will both be in the same place. Those who are accelerating more rapidly, will be as what may be thought of as gone from here. It has been the awareness of many that beings will leave this planet and physically be gone from this dimensional frequency. There will be those that will be vibrating at a higher dimensional frequency and will still be here on this planet that you know today.

The consciousness will be different. Those who are resonating on a slightly higher frequency, will still feel as they are here upon this planet, and will be experiencing the Joy, the Oneness, the Beauty and the higher frequencies of this dimension. You will be experiencing life as feeling Bliss, as feeling Joy, as feeling much of the God-centred Unity that exists on the higher realms, but you will still be here. You will still be functioning within this body. Going to the market and the library and other activities will still be part of your same existence This one aspect has been foreseen by many beings for much time.

There is another aspect that will be happening, where beings will be at a much higher frequency and will not appear to be here physically as you may perceive the chair or the lamp or any other of the objects that are on this planet in the third dimensional frequency. This new age, this new era, this new level of consciousness, this new way of functioning offers these two potentials of functioning for many humans. You may feel that you would wish to leave this level of life functioning completely or you would wish to stay and experience the Oneness and the Unity, the connectedness, the Bliss, the Divine God Christ consciousness here at this level of functioning on this planet. It is not the choice of your conscious mind to make. It is the choice of the totality of all the aspects of yourself to make. For now, you presently exist on many dimensional frequencies other than this life where you are perceiving this communication. You are many beings, many thoughts and many existence's all happening as "Now".  It will be as a harmonious aspect, as an experience of unification of all of these aspects of yourself, that will either know that it is time to accelerate to a much faster vibration or whether you may experience Harmony and Unity within all yourselves and remain here in a slightly faster vibrational frequency.

Eventually, within a long space of time, it will be that all beings will be at much higher levels of functioning. This is an individual experience. It is as some babies walk at 6 months and some walk at two years. So will you walk into another dimension. Some faster then others. Each will be in their own state of Harmony with themselves and their transformation. You will be doing exactly what is right for all the aspects of yourself. It is a harmony of that which you may call your Higher Self, or your Primal Self, or what you may call your subconscious, your inner child, and your aspects of yourself that are living other lives in other time frames, dimensions, galaxies, and universes. These are the aspects of yourself that you are not consciously aware of as you live your life in this reality you call life on Earth.

All these will be in agreement, as they might not be at this moment. All these aspects will harmonise and be brought to a state of fullness. You may figuratively and literally vibrate out of this reality, or you may stay here and enjoy a more refined, harmonious aspect of existence here. Either way will be filled with great beauty. You will not consciously realize or choose which aspect of existence you will live in. The choice will be made on a higher level. Know that either way, this will be very beautiful. It is an experience of coming closer to the Godhead. It is that which you consider the Divine God Energy. Either way you are growing closer to this energy. You may be taking a large leap or a smaller step. Either way you are coming closer to experiencing, in manifestation, that Divine Essence that you are, and which you are a part of - that you have always been a part of. This is an end to the feelings of separation, an end to the feeling that you are not united with the Divine God Essence. Know that all is working harmoniously, in every aspect of your being. All that you are hoping for, all that you are feeling budding within yourself, will be brought forth with great ease.

We would wish to give to you this vision: See yourself in a beautiful forest. It is getting dark. It is the time of twilight, the time when night approaches. Know that there is a beautiful doorway standing in the middle of a open glen within the middle of this forest. This doorway and the door that is there is a beautiful golden door with many beautiful symbols of Unity and Oneness that have been handed down form many centuries upon this planet and in other dimensional frequencies as well. As you come closer to this door, you begin to have the feelings of Beauty and Harmony. You are at the door and reaching out for the handle. The door opens easily. When you walk through the door, you will have a wonderful experience. Your experience will fall into one of these two general categories: One will be that you walk through this doorway and you will see the same setting as before, the forest, the night falling, but everything will be as vibrantly alive. You will see beautiful light energy radiating from every object. You will also feel this beautiful light energy. You will see yourself connected to this beautiful energy and to every object. You will look down at your hands, at your body at your feet and it will still be you, but you will see this wonderful light energy going through you.You will feel this Divine Bliss within yourself. You will connect to the state of Bliss that everything you see in this forest is also connected to. You will radiate this feeling of oneness. You will know that this is the Unity of God in manifestation.

The other type of experience will be very unique. You will walk through this doorway and nothing will look familiar You will not see familiar objects. You will not see colours that are familiar to you. You will see nothing that is like the forest on the other side of the door. Everything that you do see will vibrate and swirl with energy. The objects will speak to you . They will soothe you, and touch you.You will be just as harmonious, just as much at peace as the other experience would make you feel if you were having it. These are representations of the two types of experiences that await you. This vision represents the two types of light transformation that are coming to the conscious beings on this planet. These visions represent a whole new existence. No matter which experience you have, remember that one is not better than the other, it is only different. Know that all the aspects of yourself are choosing the correct experience for you. It has not to do with more evolved or less evolved, it has to do with what is right for you!

The term "God" has been very over used and under experienced. And what is coming is just that; an enhanced, improved, energised experience of God. It will be a feeling, a sensing, a knowing, not an intellectual idea. God is not something you can read in a book, it is a knowing of what is already known. This is the new dimension of existence that is coming to you. As you grow and expand, you will feel great peace about your decisions and you will have total acceptance of your new experiences. At first there may be confusion and what seems to be lack of structure. Familiar landmarks may disappear. Structures that have given you security will leave, and be replaced simply with feelings of knowing. This is a great blessing and honour to be in manifestation and to bring this forth now. It is the birthing of the new existence to come.
