All spiritual traditions have spoken of the ultimate goal of meditation. It has been called Enlightenment; Self Realization; God Realization; Nirvana; Cosmic Consciousness; Christ Consciousness; Buddhahood; The New Consciousness, etc. Currently, the term "Ascension" is emerging in our collective consciousness to refer to this goal. So, for consistency, we will use that term. What then, is Ascension?
Ascension is:
• The goal of our individual evolution, and the collective evolution of humanity... it is each soul's destiny.
• A level of consciousness in which we experience permanent union with our Higher Self and the Universal Spirit... oneness with all Life.
• Becoming our highest possible self... Learning to fully express our creative powers and spiritual capabilities within the challenging conditions of physical reality.
• Raising our vibration to a higher frequency... closer to the light of Spirit.
• Expanding our perception beyond our limited physical reality to include limitless spiritual reality.
• A state of permanent peace, joy, and freedom from limitation and suffering.
• Becoming an instrument of universal light, love, wisdom and power.
• Expanding the role we are playing within this ever-unfolding universal drama.
• Taking our place among the assembly of ascended beings from all cultures who have reached this evolutionary stage.
• Coming home.
Preparing for Ascension
Planet Earth and humanity are currently going through an extraordinary consciousness shift... a quantum leap to a higher, more enlightened state of being. You can choose to go with the flow of this evolutionary current - thus facilitating your ascension process - by preparing yourself for a new and higher level of consciousness. If you choose to do so, here are some valuable tips to assist you.
- Connect with your inner spirit daily
...
in silent meditation or prayer.
- Stay in the Light.
Remember as often as you can throughout the day, (when your mind is not fully engaged) to shift your attention back to the light of your calm inner spirit.
- Develop some degree of spiritual non-attachment.
The more weight you give the world, the heavier it is to carry.
- Strengthen your energy circuitry, so that you can conduct the higher spiritual energies.
This can be done through regular exercise, physical work, or energy body exercises, such as Yoga, Tai Chi, Chi Gong, etc.
- Keep peeling away the internal layers of physical and emotional toxins, and limiting beliefs...
through meditation and other transformational tools available for this.
- Learn to attune to your higher guidance.
- Lighten up
Regular meditation and other spiritual practices refine your energy, raising your vibration closer to the highest vibration of cosmic light. Be receptive to your body's wisdom, regarding what you put in your body. And although it is not always easy, try to take yourself lightly.
Ascension Meditation
The following meditation is designed to simulate the ascension experience. It makes use of your imagination - aka visualization - with which you may "see" inwardly, or simply "feel" or "sense" inwardly.
Sit comfortably, with your spine reasonably straight.
Imagine your Higher Self - your Spiritual Self - as a human-sized form of brilliant golden-white light just over your head.
Imagine your Higher Self slowly descending to unite with you... to merge its essence with your essence... transforming your entire being into brilliant golden-white light.
Imagine your surroundings becoming brighter and brighter, until there is nothing but an infinite ocean of golden-white light... the limitless light of Spirit.
Imagine your consciousness gently expanding, becoming one with this limitless light. Remain immersed in the ocean of light for a few minutes, and then slowly come out of your meditation.
