What is

Ascension?

by Jelaila Starr

By now you have probably realized

that we were not given a blueprint for ascension. In a perfect world

we would have a blueprint or model showing us what to do. We would

know what to expect and what not to expect and therefore would move through

the process with more grace and ease that we do now. But as we all

realize, we don't live in a perfect world so we blindly stumble along figuring

it out as we go.

Much of our energy is spent learning

that we have many misconceptions of what the ascension process is and isn't.

These misconceptions create a lot of the pain that we experience along

the way. For example, there is a misconception that we can

ascend without having to experience our fears. Oh how wonderful it

would be if that was really true. *sigh*

This article was written to help

dispel some of these misconceptions that cause us to stumble and also to

provide something of a blueprint for the process. This blueprint,

of course, is based on my own experiences as well as those of the beautiful

souls who I am honored to know and who walk the path along side me.

So let's begin with the basics.

What is ascension?

On an individual level, ascension

is the process of changing one's consciousness from one reality, based

on one set of beliefs, to another. On a group or planetary level, ascension

is the collective expansion of a state of consciousness (set of beliefs)

to the point where that consciousness creates a new reality-a new state

of being or dimension (*The Hundredth Monkey Syndrome). Example:

We are collectively creating a 5th dimensional consciousness through our

individual ascension processes. Okay, I realize I have thrown a new

thought in here, that being that a dimension is a state of consciousness.

Perhaps we'd better stop and look at that before we go on because we really

need to understand consciousness, dimensions and such before we can truly

grasp the process of ascension.

What is consciousness?

Consciousness is a set of beliefs

on which we base our lives and through which we make the choices and decisions

that make up our present reality.

What is a dimension?

A dimension is a state of consciousness.

Now how can that be? Well, when you look at what we know about dimensions,

what we find is that each is about a unique set of beliefs. For example,

3D is about the belief that, this is the only life that we have and if

you can't touch it, taste it, see it, feel it or hear it, it doesn't exist.

Is that pretty close? 5D, which I will fully address in an upcoming

article, is about Christ or Unity consciousness where we realize that we

are all connected-we understand and live in oneness (there is a misconception

of what unity consciousness looks like and I will address it in the article,

The 5th Dimension-what will it be like?). Our current 3D consciousness

was not established until enough people began to believe the same way.

And I suspect the current 5D consciousness was not established until enough

of the people existing there, figured out how to live in unity. So

we see that when enough people live a set of beliefs they create a dimension.

Going further, a state of consciousness/dimension

vibrates as a certain frequency just as all physical matter has a distinguishing

vibration or frequency. In our universe, as I understand it, the

closer we get to the integration point of Light and Dark, the faster we

vibrate (compassion being the integration point with the fastest vibratory

rate). So, if a whole group of people acquire a particular

set of beliefs, in this case, the understanding of how to live at the integration

point between Light and Dark, then they all begin to vibrate at that particular

rate. This vibratory rate is also known as a frequency. Continuing

on, this group vibration creates a new consciousness, a new reality, and

a new dimension by the individuals in the group expressing themselves emotionally,

creatively, etc. Whew! I hope this all makes sense to you.

Sometimes I find trying to explain multidimensional concepts a bit challenging

because there are so many levels to them. I can see them in my mind

but getting them down on paper is another matter. *smile*

Now that we have a basic understanding

of consciousness, dimensions and frequency, let's get back to ascension.

How do we ascend?

Simply stated, we ascend by clearing

our emotional blocks, integrating the fears that are the basis of those

blocks, and transmuting the anger, hatred, guilt, blame and shame in those

blocks into compassion. In each of our emotional blocks there is

judgment of the dark emotions (those already stated above). As we

learn to accept, value and use those emotions in a balanced manner, we

balance the Dark side of ourselves.

On the outside, as we learn to value

and appreciate those who express those dark emotions in their roles as

our teachers (i.e., those who play dark roles because they have spiritual

contracts with us to do so), we balance the Light and Dark in our reality.

Once again, another multidimensional concept condensed into a sentence

or two. Read The Formula of Compassion and Dancing with the Dark

booklets for more information on integrating the Light and the Dark.

As we clear our blocks we shift our

consciousness. We become less judgmental, thus more compassionate.

So our consciousness shifts first and our physical body follows suit.

Thirdly, our external reality begins to reflect back the new consciousness

that we are expressing. Thus, the physical reality slowly shifts

also. So every day, as we allow our guides to bring our lessons forward

so that we can clear them, we are ascending. Each time we clear a

block and experience the joy of gratitude and appreciation and compassion,

we are ascending. Let's recap this one. Ascension occurs when

you:

Are willing to clear your blocks.

Clear a block, integrate a fear by experiencing

it and achieve compassion, thus creating a shift in your consciousness.

What are the mechanics of

ascension?

Ascension is a process that has spiritual,

emotional, mental and physical components. This process is multi-layered

and interconnected, meaning that an action taken on one level affects the

other levels (think of it as a domino effect). The mechanics of the

ascension process go something like this:

You ask for your fears to be made known

to you.

A fear manifests in your life packaged

as a lesson that has come forward.

You move through the fear, being willing

to experience it as completely as necessary in order to integrate it.

You integrate the fear, thus learning

the lesson. In this part you feel the fear feelings associated with

this fear/lesson. They can be feelings such as guilt, shame,

hatred, anger, resentment, etc. (Yes, we do fear feeling these emotions

because we have been taught that they are bad and if we experience them,

we are bad.)

You experience release as the fear is

integrated and the lesson is learned. In this release you experience

emotions such as joy, bliss, gratitude (for the person who played the Dark

role) and compassion (for the pain the Dark role person had to experience

in order to play their part). As you feel the compassion, there is

a tingling sensation in your body and in many cases an orgasmic explosion

of energy in your high heart chakra (this is the anger, shame, etc., being

transmuted into compassion) as you release the people involved in your

lesson from blame.

The compassion you feel transmutes a

bit more of your DNA from carbon-based to crystal or silica-based, thus

allowing more light into your body. At the same time, any implants

(also known as behavior patterns) associated with that fear/lesson are

changed (balanced). If you have been working on this fear in all

its various aspects for a while, those newly changed implants then release

their bit of your dormant 10 strands of your DNA so that they can be realigned.

The more we move through these steps,

(read the Formula of Compassion for more details on this integration/transmutation

process) the more we recode our DNA, this shifting our consciousness closer

and closer to the integration point between Light and Dark. Compassion

is the unconditional and equal acceptance of all things (Light and Dark)

regardless of who or what they are. Now let's look at some of the

misconceptions about ascension.

Misconceptions of ascension

There are many misconceptions about

ascension going around these days. Most of this seems to come from

a lack of basic information and trying to formulate our concept of ascension

on what we have been taught in the past. Once we are given the higher

perspective regarding some of these concepts we can see where just having

another level of knowledge makes it all make sense. Let's look a

few of the more prevalent ones.

We can ascend without experiencing

pain or fear

As I said earlier, I wish this was

true but as we have seen from the information above, we must have something

that we can use to achieve compassion. We must have some form of

fuel. We don't transmute love or joy into compassion, do we?

Both love and joy are higher frequency emotions, like compassion, aren't

they? It is my understanding that we use the energy of the lower frequency

emotions of anger, shame, guilt, resentment, etc. to transmute into compassion.

So, if this is true, then we must be able to access these emotions to be

able to transmute them, right? And in order to access them we must

feel them in some way because that is what is meant by accessing, is that

not true? And isn't experiencing them the same as feeling them?

Going further, don't lower frequency

emotions create emotional and, sometimes, physical pain? For example,

doesn't anger create emotional pain, or guilt or shame? So to wrap

this up, if we need transmutable emotions for fuel to ascend, then we must

access them. This means feeling the pain of those emotions, and if we feel

the pain of our emotions, then I suppose that means that we don't ascend

without experiencing pain. Does that make sense? And keep in

mind that pain is a catalyst for change. We don't change until we

realize that we need to.pain is the indicator that it is time for change.

From the higher perspective, as I understand it, pain is a most valuable

tool because without it we have no catalyst to move us to do the work that

is necessary in order to grow spiritually.

We can recode our DNA just

through intent or by having someone else do it for us

Well, think about this. If

you are doing emotional clearing and that changes your DNA, isn't that

the same as DNA Recoding? And, if you need fuel (fears and lower

frequency emotions) to transmute into compassion to recode your DNA.and

to experience that whole process of transmutation for it to work then how

can you do it merely by intent? Also, how can someone else do that

for you? How can they experience your fears, integrate them and learn

your lessons for you? I don't see how they can. It would be

the same as having someone else live your life for you while you sit on

the sidelines and observe. But if they could, I would certainly be

the first in line! I don't want to experience any more pain and discomfort

than I have to.

Through the ascension process

we will gain the ability to bi-locate, levitate and move objects with our

minds

It was a real letdown for me when

I found out that these abilities were not part of Earth's planetary ascension

process and plan. I so wanted to learn how to do them and found that

in the beginning they were one of the reasons I kept going. But on

the other hand, we are not required to attain them in order to ascend and

that is a big relief! Think of how much time and energy it would

take to be able to acquire these abilities. This is mystery school

stuff that takes years to master. So, no, these abilities are not

part of the ascension process. The abilities that are required are:

The ability to achieve compassion by

transmuting emotional blocks

The ability to value the Dark in all

ways

The ability to live in harmony with

all other species in the universe regardless of differences

Something that I learned not too long

ago that you might be interested to know is that there are two different

ascension processes. There is the Reptilian process and the Human

Process. The Reptilian process, taught through the ancient mystery

schools enables you to ascend through mental mastery and requires the student

live apart from the world in order to concentrate on his/her skills.

The Human process enables you to ascend through the heart and requires

the student to live in the world to acquire the skills. Okay, so

I may have opened a can of worms on this one.guess I'd better write an

article to explain this one too.

When we ascend we will

be on a different planet

Actually in one sense it will be

like being on a different planet, but in reality we will be on a different

plane of this one. Just as radio stations exist on different frequencies

but you can still access them from the same radio, 3D, 4D and 5D will be

different dimensions/frequencies/states of consciousness that can be accessed

on the same planet, Earth. At least that is my understanding at this

time.

When we ascend we will

live in total unity and oneness ... there will be no Dark or negativity

.... it will be all love and light

Whoa! Won't people be surprised when

they see that there is still Light and Dark in 5D? Once again, as

I understand it, we will have a more united society but not at the expense

of individuality. Having only Light/Unity means, in it's extreme,

a hive mentality like bees or ants. Do we really want that? As I

understand it, we want to live in the knowing that we are all connected

so that we can stop all the warring and fighting that is caused by "we

are separate" thinking. But we don't want to give up our individuality

and free will to become part of a unity consciousness where everyone thinks

the same, do we? Well if that is the case, count me out. I

like having free will and free thinking.

As we ascend we will be

able to physically see and hear our guides

Perhaps further down the road in

the ascension process this will occur as 4D and 5D become stronger but

for now it is through the inner eye and the inner ear that we see and hear

our guides.

As we ascend we should

leave our 3D lives behind and move into the Light

Well, that's also not part of the

plan this time. As I understand it, we are to live in the world and

be part of it but live in it with a multidimensional consciousness.

This was a difficult one for me to figure out. At the beginning of

my path, I wanted to separate from the world, go live in a closed community

of like-minded people, give up my credit cards and bank accounts and live

on love. I soon found out, just by doing part of that, that it didn't

work. We are to stay grounded and in the world because the world

is the place from where our lessons will come. It is the place where

we can access our fears and integrate them, access our lower frequency

emotions and transmute them within our 3D physical bodies.

If we separate from the world and

spend our time hanging out in other dimensions or the Astral plane, we

will lose out on the experiences that cause us to grow. Remember,

without the lessons coming forward, we cannot spiritually grow. We

grow out of imbalance into balance. If we try to live in a perfect

world, we become spiritually stagnant, don't we? Think about it.

Well, enough of the misconceptions, this article is already long enough.

Let's move on.

How can I tell if I am

ascending?

You

have mentally made the decision to go through the ascension process.

This is different than being on the spiritual path. Ascension is a

choice to move to the 5th dimension. The spiritual path is a choice to

open up to what is beyond 3D and to access your spiritual side.

Your fears are manifesting in your life

as lessons

Your physical body begins to react to

the ascension process through new aches and pains. This is your inner

child being triggered by the fears coming up to be integrated. These

fears are stored in your physical body in different locations. Example:

A fear of money is stored in your lower back and you experience that fear

as lower back pain.

You begin to be consciously aware of

the synchronicities and unusual occurrences in your life versus being unaware

of them. (Synchronicities are your guides and your work bringing

forth the events on your Life Blueprint that you had chosen during your

time in the Interlife, the life between lives.)

What do we mean when we say

the 3rd, 4th, and 5th dimensions are merging?

This is an interesting tidbit that

I couldn't resist sharing with you. As many of you know, there is

a lot of talk about the dimensions merging, and the physical/mental/emotional

effects we are experiencing because of it. I'd like to share what

I think this means since so many have emailed me about it.

As more and more of us move along

the Spiritual and Ascension paths, we achieve levels of understanding.

For example, we learn that we are spiritual beings having a physical/human

experience. When enough people figure that one out, they create a

new consciousness. As I understand it, this particular belief being

one of the more basic ones on the Spiritual path is a 4D concept.

So, this group has anchored a 4D octave into 3D because they live in a

physical 3D world, hence they have merged 3D and 4D. The same thing

occurs when enough people anchor a 5D concept in 3D. This is what

is meant by the dimensions are merging. Groups of people are creating

new dimensions of consciousness while living on a different dimension.

Hope that makes sense.

Well that about sums up this ascension

thing for this article. There is a lot more that can be shared on

ascension and I have covered some of it in other articles I've written.

Feel free to check them out. You will find them under "Ascension" in the
