Overcoming Evolutionary Inertia and risk management for the ascension and personal growth process.

In a free will system such as this we need to overcome evolutionary inertia in order to effect change. This drive moves us ahead and pushes through previously held limits in individual and mass consciousness, which have been in effect for ages. To make this phase transition to a new style of functioning and to attain new levels of spiritualisation, extremely high standards of psychological clarity (the degree we can function without fear, delusion, denial, attachment) and God purity are now required. God purity or the demonstration of unconditional love, rather than becoming more en-lightened, now drives the initiation process and phase shifts. As we develop and integrate God purity and psychological clarity into our daily behaviour we progress, as these are now the criteria for progress in the ascension process.

However, for this to be successful the physical bodies must adapt to the new style of functioning. This process has not been adequately managed so far, and we cannot make these quantum shifts into a new paradigm of consciousness and spirit communion without new risk management procedures.

Evolution normally occurs slowly so change can be integrated fully. These days rapid evolution is occurring. Our higher bodies ( Buddhic, Atmic, Monadic and Logoic) can adapt to the new flows more easily and assimilate oneness and is-ness. Our lower bodies, due to their density, struggle with this assimilation and experience the relative inertia of limitation and resistance to change.

In physics terminology, the lower bodies are more particulate and the higher bodies are more wave-like. All bodies are made of matter and matter either behaves like particles of energy or waves of energy. For example, above soul level (the soul is located in the 4^th sub level of the mental plane), it is predominantly wave-like. Below soul level, i.e. the lower mental, emotional, and physical bodies, the structures are denser and more particulate; they simply cannot change as rapidly. We can imagine how easily a coordinated ocean of waves can pull a cross-directional wave into synch. In a mass of energy behaving as discrete particles, changes are made by deconstruction and reconstruction. Highly energized reactions or phase shifts occur under specific and focused environments: by fission, fusion or ionic addition or removal, by adding or removing protons, neutrons etc. This is very different to the relative simplicity and ease of waves of energy accepting and adapting to alterations in their pitch, amplitude, frequency and direction.

As initiates reach higher initiations, they integrate higher frequency bands of energy through their chakras and bodies. Initiations are like tipping points and beyond a certain point when we take an initiation; we require our bodies to change to incorporate these frequencies. Up until now, when someone took the 4^th or 6th initiation, milestones in the personal growth or ascension process, it was very rare that their lower bodies could adapt sufficiently. The particles did not have the flexibility to change quickly enough for the incoming high frequencies. What has been happening is the critical organs associated with the chakras that are upgrading could not change rapidly enough; and so on taking these higher initiations people have manifested a disease or even died. Sadly, the mystery schools and organisations guiding these students, disciples, seekers or initiates did not have the knowledge to educate them to adequately prepare and lighten their vital organs of density to facilitate the transition. This is why we have seen so many high level initiates, those advanced on the path, with major health conditions, diseases of the heart and nervous system like brain tumors and cancers.

When we take higher initiations our critical organs cannot be the last organs to integrate change or it is likely these vital or associated organs will stress, malfunction, fail or develop disease. By setting up appropriate, on-going clearing and refinement frequencies, such as the universally transformational energy in the violet band of frequencies [known as the violet flame] through the chakras, transformation and transmutation occurs in the associated organs. In the ascension process, radical modification has to be made down to the molecular level and this is a significant task. Groups and individuals working towards personal growth or ascension, particularly in this time of rapid growth, would be wise to incorporate strategies to ensure they are adequately prepared. Such an integrated approach to growth is what many individuals and groups have, through simple ignorance, over-looked or mismanaged.

Before any individual arrives at a phase shift point, it is possible to have predominantly cleared any remaining density that could cause major resistance and problems in the vital organs. With the daily application of simple, advanced care and clearing procedures, initiates reaching a phase transition point experience the main density and particulate matter holding them back is located, say, in the bones and less vital areas of the body, not in critical organs and systems. Aches in the bones and headaches are uncomfortable, but not deadly and will continue to be transformed.

With insight, guidance and certain processing disciplines incorporated by individuals and groups, and with monitoring and management by others who have been through such a process who are a “few steps ahead”, the smooth transition into a new style of functioning can be supported and the risks managed. Evolutionary inertia can be overcome and new, wondrous dimensions embraced.

Emotional Maturity and Altruism – Patti Roberts

In the latter stages of the self actualisation process, an initiate simply cannot properly handle the intensity of the agony and ecstasy of the experience unless they have mastered and matured emotionally and mentally. Theoretically, this maturation process would have occurred gradually over their current life as well as previous lives. With the recent acceleration of the initiation process, initiates have had to quickly move through this maturation process, and this has been challenging and incomplete as their higher spiritual bodies are generally much more developed and mature than their lower emotional and mental bodies. Many high level initiates, with great spiritual gifts and knowledge, are acting out childish behaviour which is hindering their ability to uncover their authentic self and be of greatest service.

Everything is energy and energy vibrates and varies by its frequency of vibration. The physical-etheric, emotional, mental, buddhic, atmic, monadic and logoic are the names of each of the bodies of our seven-body system that spirit inhabits. These bodies are each distinctly different in their frequencies. Just as light spectrum has seven main ‘colours’ we can distinguish with our physical eyes, the colours are really just gradations in frequency. Similarly each body has a unique function and energy or vibrational signature, and function. Our physical-etheric body experiences physical sensation, our emotional body emotes the range of human emotions and our mental body thinks, decides and discriminates. The lower mind engages when inspiration is received and thinks up strategies as to how the inspiration can be implemented and expressed. When not engaged for this purpose, the lower mind ought to rest and be still and pure in service to the knowing of spirit. For most people, this requires training in order to remove the addiction to unnecessary thinking.

Thoughts are things. Thoughts stimulate emotions. Emotions and feelings however, are not the same thing. Feelings include emotions but also include our thoughts and physical-etheric sensations and more. Feeling is a higher sense perspective where one is aware of all the activity occurring in their bodies. Feeling puts one in touch with the indwelling spirit. Feeling is sensing how things are in each of the bodies simultaneously without getting sucked into identifying with the experience of only one or two bodies. It has been said that our feelings are the eyes of our hearts. These feelings include the realm of our buddhic body and are an expression of the soul. The buddhic body is a higher frequency processor of emotions. It becomes the matured vehicle for emotions once the emotional body no longer runs fear-based, separatist, survival-based patterns.

To mature emotionally we must, as a soul and as spirit, fully feel and then release all that does not serve our expression of greater will. So, our aim is to feel as we feel and not judge any feelings. For example, if we try not to feel ‘guilty’ we put a lot of energy into not feeling 'guilty'. We use a lot of energy to push the energy of 'guilt' away. But by focusing on the reverse of an idea we actually energise the guilt and feel guiltier. This energy is either pressed out into our mental or emotional bodies or repressed into the cells of the physical body. Both create disharmony and imbalance. Alternatively, we can allow and acknowledge any feeling, be grateful for the opportunity it presents for greater self-awareness and then re-choose in accordance with the truth of the God within, our authentic self, and release the displaced energy to restore harmony.

Many of our life experiences have impacted us, wounded us and left scars in our emotional body. Some have caused us to recoil and retreat within to feel safe. It is rare for people to not have some emotional dysfunction or immaturity that can manifest as victim consciousness. As we release these impacts, hurts or pains, from our inner child’s experiences, we will move forward and cease going around in circles. When our inner child grows up and we become emotionally mature, we can simply be authentic and embrace greatness.

There are two categories that people who are not emotionally content and/or mature generally fall into:

One category is those who have repressed emotions due to some religious or spiritual training in this life, or over many lives. They tend to have a strong mental focus, spend a lot of time in their mental body and deny emotion. They can be volatile and explosive and all they can do is attempt to manage those emotions that suddenly erupt in order to release the emotional pressure. These people will find it valuable to work with their inner child, sometimes having to use firm, loving discipline and at other times simply loving their inner child and bringing them into the heart where they are cherished and safe. They have to work with and allow their emotional body to mature…a process that never fully occurred or was disrupted or distorted along their journey. A charged inner child aspect has not grown up to integrate the qualities of innocence and playfulness (‘be like the child’), into a mature, responsible, loving spiritual adult being. There is an inaccurate myth that the inner child is supposed to remain childish, without fear-based issues. An integrated spiritual being does not have any un-integrated aspect living within. Healing emotionally is growing up emotionally. Maturing emotionally is a crucial foundational component of spiritual maturity. We cannot spiritualise matter when we are limited and hijacked by unhealed emotions, which take us away from our heart knowing.

The second category is where people have neutralized emotional interaction and effectively switched their emotions off and become emotionally numb. Their demeanour is somewhat melancholy, sad or even depressed. They have learned through current or past life training to kill out desire. For them, emotion and the ability to feel and express their feelings has become like a foreign language. The solution for these people is to turn that language switch back on and to embrace their life learning to enjoy, and so, vivify their emotional body.

Emotional maturity and living a life of true contentment means always having, as appropriate, the choice to be emotion-still, rather than being emotion-less which is often due to repression or neutralization. Someone who is emotionally mature can still the mind or the emotions at will and choose not to indulge in any fear-based emotion which leads to loss of consciousness. Their mind and emotions are at the service of spirit. They can choose to express their emotions in a variety of colours and hues, to bring richness, depth, tempo and texture to living and serving. It enhances their pallet of empathy. Our energetic vibrations and our aura, the air around us, are raised through expressions of joy, love, hope, compassion, appreciation and wonder. Emotion is a vibrant component of feeling. Fully feeling with loving respect and wonder is the language of sacredness.

Someone who is emotionally mature accepts responsibility for what they create, and uses the wisdom of hindsight without trying to undo the past. They reorient their consciousness and make attitudinal and behavioral changes. They do not subject themselves to tantrums, self-pity or an overly morbid or rigorous self-analysis. Emotional maturity means not withholding greatness but rather doing the best one can possibly do without arrogance, with humility. False modesty is the enemy of long-term maturity. Those who are emotionally mature choose greatness but do not expect others to choose greatness, as this is a display of arrogance. Self-talk is vitally important for someone who is emotionally mature and intelligent. If they have a “win”, i.e. some accomplishment, they are wise and protect and build on that success and therefore do not under-achieve. No one truly attains greatness through ‘whipping’ themselves.

Another hallmark of those with emotional maturity is when they feel that they are cruising and their process seems easy, they then place even more attention and energy on their spiritual practices and psychological introspection. Mental, emotional and spiritual maturity requires mutual interdependence, co-ordination and co-creation between all the bodies so they function as a synchronized whole, with each body serving each the other and serving the indwelling spirit. This means thinking as a tool to devise strategy when required; expressing emotion to enrich the living, being the eyes of the heart, and being still, poised and allowing when not actively engaged. When fully matured, the content of thought and emotion are chosen at will and can be ceased at will. For example, we may choose to feel gratitude, joy or whatever is required as sensed as a spirit in any moment, regardless of the current experience. Cleaning, centering, aligning and synchronizing our bodies of ‘self-absorbed’ patterns and immature states is now the spiritual work. Maturity means growing further and further into our potential.

Emotional maturity means loving the self yet being truly altruistic or self-less. Love is not an emotional opinion; rather it is a measurable, tangible force. One who is emotionally mature experiences all of life, uses their integrated bodies to transform those life ingredients into love and they emanate that love.

Being Spiritually Conscious and Developing an Ascended Source Consciousness

“Greatness in Life involves making one choice after another”

Our challenge is to always co-create, to always be present, always be consciously choosing and engaging within our life. If we are not actively engaged, not taking ownership, we will be controlled by our subconscious, unconscious or by others. Life is an ongoing process to engage in and with, life is about making one choice after another.

Do you ever go ‘what the F*** just happened?’ Do you ever suddenly realise that you just experienced moments - minutes or more - of being unconscious, with no conscious control over your actions, when you are not even sure why you did something? “Why did I do that?” In such unconscious states our “animal” instincts take over, the indwelling spirit effectively relinquishes control to a lower style of functioning, or simply ‘spaces off’. Really, this is being lazy and shows a lack of tenacity and courage.

Spiritual unconsciousness is a state of “autopilot” where the indwelling entity is along for the ride. This is not living; there is no engagement in life. The animal kingdom experiences a bit more than that state. Humanity has the opportunity and gift to operate from the higher mind. When spiritually activated, after soul merge, we still have some instinctual, collective animal-like behaviour. The vast majority of people are barely conscious and although they want a better world, they are unwilling to make the necessary changes to bring it about. They want others to sort it out, they don’t really want to re-choose and change. This is a false state of contentment: one of laziness and irresponsibility, and not the contentment of greatness. There are some people who make things happen, others who watch what happens and many who wonder “gees what happened?”

To achieve greatness we simply have to do what needs to be done with courage and joy. It is not about how and why, but rather when and where. Our overarching goal is about our daily life experiences and the mastery that comes from these experiences, it is not really about the pursuit of happiness. As the famous phrase, "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" in the American Declaration of Independence reminds us, we are all born with inalienable rights. In simply setting our goals in the pursuit of ‘happiness’ we fall far short of our innate and self-created potential. Greatness cannot settle down with limits. Endless searching for happiness drives our lower appetites for material objects and has driven global marketing and economics. It has long been experienced that after acquiring the house, the cars and the other ‘stuff’, happiness remains elusive. On the other hand we can also seek happiness, bliss and nirvana by clocking up hundreds of hours in meditation and still never get enough happiness. Many spiritual paths encourage us to keep focused on and following that path of happiness and bliss. This too can keep us focused on an elusive, vague ‘happiness’ goal, keeping us somewhat passive, avoiding action, responsibility and choices in life.

“I have never looked upon ease and happiness as ends in themselves -- this critical basis I call the ideal of a pigsty. The ideals that have lighted my way and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. Without the sense of kinship with men of like mind, without the occupation with the objective world, the eternally unattainable in the field of art and scientific endeavors, life would have seemed empty to me. The trite objects of human efforts -- possessions, outward success, luxury -- have always seemed to me contemptible.” (Extracted from: The World As I See It-An Essay By Albert Einstein)

Are people really looking for happiness, or is happiness a decoy? Are they really searching for meaning for their on- going existence? Meaning and contentment, we might say, are higher vibrations or evolved states of happiness. They are active states that require not just a sense of achievement and purpose but the real thing. This need not involve straining or striving but rather striding to create new wonders. Discontent and eventually depression is the result when meaning and contentment are lost and one’s life is reduced to outplay the lower levels of mind and ego, rather than stretching and reaching into one’s limitlessness.

Satisfaction comes from wise achievement. Belief in truth is necessary for passion. Once enough of the mass of humanity truly find ourselves worthy and choose to engage, our lives have meaning and possibilities become probabilities, wonders becomes wondrous. Hope can be reinstalled and we can go about with collected purpose and heal ourselves and, together, heal our planet.
