Most Spiritual Experiences are Impermanent

Ascension is a permanent state of universal love and bliss.

(Concluded from Part 1, yesterday.)

I said earlier that I’d continue our discussion of why so many spiritual experiences are impermanent.

Let me start by referring back to my heart opening.

That experience on March 13, 2015, began with a tremendous explosion as if debris that had been blocking my heart door or hridayam had been expelled.

It took that level of explosion to win me temporary access to my heart. It opened on March 13 and more or less narrowed if not closed by mid-January 2016.

I assume that Ascension, which I’ve confirmed with the Mother is equivalent to what Hindus call sahaja nirvikalpa samadhi, (1) is an even bigger explosion – or it can be, implosion, as the Mother notes.

Divine Mother: Now increasingly, as you have heard of here and there, you are knowing and being given examples of those who are experiencing what we would call instantaneous transmission in so far as their heart opening is like an implosion/explosion.

And if you speak to these individuals, there’s nothing gradual about it. It is the immediate knowing not only of love, not only of individual essence, but of [divine?] essence. (2)

I speculate that the explosion/implosion of a fourth-chakra heart opening is not powerful enough to open the heart door (or hridayam) permanently. But it is a preview nonetheless.

Michael comments on the impermanence of a fourth-chakra experience:

Archangel Michael: You are in a time of individual and collective Ascension that has never occurred upon your planet or elsewhere. So many of the historic and accurate understandings with regard to heart openings have shifted, can we say, expanded.

You have had a heart opening. Think of it this way, as a heart opening that is not 1000% and it is like a rubber stopper that opens, closes, opens, closes. So it is partially open.

So, it is a permanent heart opening because you are most certainly not only in the truth and the love of your own being, but in THE love of the Mother, far more than you have ever been. That is permanent and irreversible. But it is not 1000%. (3)

Michael says these experiences are not strong enough to carry us to Ascension but each of them carries us up a notch:

Archangel Michael: You have experienced, progressively, periods of unity, of transformative love, of ecstasy, of bliss that you feel (and I emphasize, feel) come and go.

But every time, you have had this experience it has edged you up a level. So that now you say to me, “Michael, I feel like I have a new baseline. I have a new foundation of happiness.”

But you also have a new foundation of knowingness, of understanding, of wisdom, of humility, of tolerance, of kindness. This has all been bringing you to an expanded sense of self and an expanded sense of not only how we operate but how the collective operates. (4)

But we come to the primary question: Why so many spiritual experiences without reaching the permanence of Ascension. And Michael gives us the answer:

Archangel Michael: What you have seen is that you have been given bite-sized pieces of energy, of energy bumps, of input of what you can digest and handle and truly bring to fruition. If you are in the process of expansion, you don’t go from Grade 3 to a PhD in a week. (5)

I’ve discussed elsewhere the process of moderating our experiences as lightworkers so we don’t leave the work and return home. (6)

Michael asks us, would it not be enough to tantalize us to consider that the higher realm we’re going to is one of universal love and bliss? Let me close with his tantalizing vision of what awaits us:

Steve: The new realm of existence is characterized by universal love and bliss?

Archangel Michael: Yes.

Steve: Alright, so that is what we should be looking for?

AAM: Yes, and it is what is knocking on your door and [what] you are letting in. You have been doing this so it is transcending into a more permanent state of that realm of existence. … I think this would entice you adequately, would it not?

Steve: Oh, that state would be the answer to all my dreams, all my requests, I’m sure, Lord!

AAM: It would be the answer to many dreams and you will help many to see it, to discover it, to shift into that realm.

It is not about the separation of humankind when [one is] stuck in the old and the other in a new realm. It is simply opening the floodgates. (7)

That’s what we’re doing with all our temporary spiritual experiences: Opening the floodgates to receive and transform, one day, permanently; ascending gradually one bite-sized package at a time.

And the state of being we’ll be in then will be a permanent one of universal love and bliss.

Footnotes

(1) Steve Beckow: I’m trying to understand what level of enlightenment Ascension corresponds to and I think it’s beyond the normal seventh-chakra enlightenment. I think it is what is called — and I’ll make this clear to readers — sahaja samadhi. Am I correct?

Divine Mother: Yes, it is beyond what you think of [as being] with your seven chakras. … We have emerged from the Third-Dimensional realm, which is that reference point for the [seven] chakra system, into the new. So yes, you are correct, in this question and in this statement.

Steve: Mother, you use the word “exploding.” … The heart opening that I had in March 2015, was explosive. And so…

DM: It is explosive. It is implosive.  (“The Mother Promises a Massive Heart Opening – Part 2/2,” at http://goldenageofgaia.com/?p=289519.)

Archangel Gabrielle also refers to it:

“You have heard me, child, talk time and time and time again about the implosion/explosion [of Ascension], and that is happening at a catalytic rate constantly, right now. (Archangel Gabrielle: Cooperation Comes Before Love,” April 2, 2017, at http://goldenageofgaia.com/2017/04/02/archangel-gabrielle-cooperation-comes-before-love/.)

And here is Sanat Kumara, our Universal Logos:

“Stillpoint is the place of nothingness and it is also the place where union and fission take place, what Einstein calls that implosion/explosion takes place.” (Linda Dillon in Heavenly Blessings with Sanat Kumara, April 26, 2012.)

I believe the implosion is the collapse of our personality structures that the heart opening challenges. One example: The belief that we get love mostly from others rather than mostly from our own heart.
