Greetings, beloveds.
In this message we will take a look at the mechanics of the ascension
process. The channel, in his book, “Life on
the Cutting Edge”, talks about building the crystal light body.
Before we get into the heart of this subject, we will
go a little into the preparation necessary in order to ascend.
There is a paradox
here, beloveds. We said in Part 1 that ascension is a natural
process that spontaneously unfolds. So why the need for preparation?
Let’s use the cocoon analogy.
If the cocoon is in a favourable and safe environment,
the butterfly emerges naturally after a period of stasis. Similarly,
when the human environment is favourable and safe, the human will
emerge into the light body. So preparation, in this sense, involves
creating a favourable and safe environment for ascension to take
place.
We all know that if you constantly dig up a germinated seed to see
if it is still growing, you will hinder or even destroy the process
of growth. The same is true of the butterfly and the cocoon. You
cannot open the cocoon to check on the progress of the butterfly
or you will destroy the process. In the process of human ascension,
you cannot constantly doubt the process, or try to artificially hurry
it up, or try to control it with drugs or external effects. You must
TRUST in the process and allow it to unfold.
There are a number of external factors that will either assist or
hinder the process. We will go into these briefly before we talk
about the Master Template, the actual mechanics of the ascension
[in Part 3].
Preparing the Physical Vehicle
The way to create
a favourable and safe environment for the body is to recognize
the difference between what the ego wants and what the body truly
needs. Beloveds, you must learn to listen to the body without
the clamour and screech of the ego’s desires. In Archangel
Zadkiel’s discourse to Sri Ram Kaa in the book “Sacred
Union”, he is advised as to the difference between nourishment
and eating. So in today’s message we will begin with this important
distinction. Although this channel [Sal] still eats some
animal products, he has found that limiting heavy meals
to one per day during the middle of the waking period seems to work
best for his personal energy. For breakfast and dinner, he frequently
has an energy bar or a little trail mix or a few nuts. The one substantial
meal is ideally a salad or plate of veggies, although
the channel has admittedly often not taken the time to adequately
prepare the mid-day meal.
Dearly beloveds, we are not trying to dictate food choices and eating
habits in this message, but only pointing out that you should experiment
and observe what preserves energy and what dissipates it. Most people,
especially in this country [America] eat way too much food. People
eat to self-medicate, to socialize, out of habit, out of convenience.
We will issue one general statement, while respecting your individuality:
Minimize meat and dairy. Minimize amount of food intake. Maximize
nutritional value of the food. Use powdered or liquid supplements
(not capsules or tablets). Try, whenever possible, to use organic
foods. And above all - LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. Not the ego, the BODY.
Eat when you are truly hungry, not out of habit.
Another aspect of preparing the physical vehicle for ascension involves
the observation of natural body rhythms. Try to avoid sleeping on
a schedule. We realize this is difficult for those of you that work
regular jobs. The channel has, over the past several months, entered
into a schedule of sleeping between the hours of 9:00 PM and 2:00
AM. He frequently uses the period between 2:00 AM and 4:00 AM to
process psychological issues and receive instruction from us and
the Confederation. Your rhythms may vary from the channel. Our one
simple statement regarding body rhythms is this: Pay attention to
your up and down cycles. Work during up cycles, rest during down
cycles. Structure your life in such a way as to be able to honour
your biorhythms.
We would like
to make an important point about environment. It is essential
that you create a space around yourselves that promotes well-being
and ascension. Get together with like-minded individuals. Attend
workshops and seminars on ascension. Listen to music that is uplifting.
Certain classical and New Age melodies are specifically geared
toward creating an environment conducive to ascension. Refuse
to associate with people who “suck” or “snatch” your
energy - you know the ones. As one of your popular psychologists
once said, “Learn to say ‘no’”. Your time
and space are valuable to you. While they may be illusions
in the ultimate sense, in this 3D world in which you
find yourselves, they are important tools to be used to help you
ascend. Use them wisely. Make time to be alone. Make space to be
alone. Choose carefully the people you allow into your space. Do
not allow pessimism, worry, fear or doubt into your space. These
are like hostile elements around the cocoon. They may or may not
penetrate the protective layers of the cocoon, but why take a chance?
It takes energy to constantly put up protection against negative
psychic or physical influences. Honour and respect your own personal
space. It is not unloving to be discriminating. In fact, it is one
of the most loving things you can do. After all, you cannot be of
maximum service to others if you surround yourself with distractions
and unruly people.
Finally, in our
message on preparing the physical vehicle, we must mention the
necessity of letting go of all preconceptions and misconceptions
about the body itself. This vehicle you house yourselves in is
a finely tuned instrument, like a supercomputer. When it is properly
taken care of, it will remain serviceable for as long as it is
desired. In the case of ascension (and we will go into this later),
the body is literally transformed without going through the process
of death (although most of the cells die every few years). This
body, while not intended to last forever, can nevertheless be
made immortal, impervious to death, disease and destruction. It
is wise to acquire the awareness that this body can be fashioned
in any way desired: Young, beautiful, strong, free of disease
and aging. Eventually, you will even learn how to deconstruct
and reconstruct (materialize and dematerialize) the body. You
will learn how to teleport it from one location to another. You
can even learn how to “shape-shift” or
change its features at will. All these things you can
do as you master the process of ascension. By visualizing
these things and knowing they are possible, you begin to draw
these experiences to you, according to the Law of Mind, or law
of the fourth dimension. Although ascension is a movement into
the fifth dimension, mastery of the laws of the fourth dimension
is a necessary part of the building and maintaining of the light
body, just as mastery of algebra is necessary to learning calculus.
Well, beloveds, we have covered quite a bit of introductory material
in this lesson. Suffice to say, there will be a Part 3 and possibly
a Part 4 to this series. We are the Arcturians. We come with great
love. We come in service to the Infinite One.
