(Concluded from Part 1, above.)
I’m really coming to believe that realization is temporarily experiencing and knowing from a higher level. What was not apparent at a lower level is now apparent.
That description leaves out the initial explosion of bliss that lifts us up to that higher level in the first place.
Realization takes us out of the domain we have known till then. I don’t think it can be reached by experience alone, but I don’t know.
It is like a hand thrust down into the water that we latch onto and use to pull ourselves up into the boat. Thanks to the hand we’re able to sit in the boat.
Thanks to realization we’re able to – briefly or permanently – see from a higher level.
I saw, in my vision of the purpose of life in 1987, the centrality of bliss in the process of realization. I was in a realized state for the eight seconds of the vision: so not just a momentary blast but an “extended” experience. (1)
The bliss I was feeling, which filled me up, allowed me to know what I was seeing. That over there is God the Father. There’s God the Mother. There’s God the Child. I now knew how the pieces of the puzzle of enlightenment fit. (2) And bliss was what brought all things to remembrance, so to speak.
I don’t want to exclude from this, minor moments of realization such as Aha’s, Eureka moments, peak experiences, transformational moments, etc. They may not result in our achieving a higher level of knowing, but they resolve a problem, create a new paradigm, release us from dissonance and tension, etc.
All three levels are open to both reporter and realizer. But the reporter may not appreciate or learn from their emotional or realized experiences whereas the realizer probably will.
I was in a seminar once where a woman had had a senior experience of enlightenment, did not know what it was, and felt like she was going insane. Adyashanti explained that she had had an enlightenment experience and talked her out of her fears.
Without Adya or another spiritual teacher there, she could quite possibly have gone insane; I don’t know.
In the case of a reporter, they may lack the context and information they need to make sense of a realization, whereas a realizer will know what they’ve invited and have a greater chance of welcoming it.
We lightworkers are seekers or we wouldn’t be lightworkers. In addition to having signed on to come here to serve, which makes us lightworkers rather than lightholders, we probably have our private or personal sadhana or spiritual practice. Off duty, mine is awareness. But on duty, mine is karma yoga, seva, service.
Our seeking Reval monies is for the purpose of reviving the terrestrial population and building Nova Earth. We’re in service to the Divine Mother’s Plan and Mother Gaia’s Ascension.
You’ve already heard Michael and the Divine Mother say to me over and over again, we don’t want you getting blissed out and unable or unwilling to complete your service. Remain grounded. Stay put.
The lesson is: Not to seek such elevated enlightenment experiences that we cease to be willing or able to serve.
In my opinion, lightworkers need to go up along with the population they serve. And we know that folks here to help with Ascension are already ascended so it isn’t as if anyone will miss out. We already have it. We just hung it up at the door and will pick it up when we leave.
We gave up access to that knowledge when we incarnated. If we weren’t already ascended, we’d be focused on our own Ascension. That would not serve the Mother’s purposes in having us here.
I’m not worried about my Ascension. I know that I’m already ascended. If you’re an angel, and most lightworkers are, you come from the Transcendental, never mind simply the Fifth or Sixth or Seventh Dimension.
The Company of Heaven brought ascended people here to serve as the yeast in the loaf. We’re here to help the whole of the bread rise. We do it by taking what we experience up through the three levels again and again and again.
We read about something. We contemplate it. We look for it in the realm of our own experience. If we’re very fortunate, we realize it.
And we begin again.
The result is we become clearer and clearer in our consciousness and happier and happier in our lives. I can vouch for that. I know it to be true from my own experience and realization.
Our becoming clearer and happier contributes to Ascension. It’s proof that we carried out our mission to be the yeast in the loaf.
Footnotes
(1) I said in my earlier write-up that it was not an enlightenment experience. I actually have no idea whether it was or wasn’t: it didn’t come with a label.
But it was definitely an extended state of realization while it happened. I don’t feel I know enough to give a precise label to it.
Interestingly, I did not go on to study the subject of visions, but of enlightenment. The message of the vision was that enlightenment was the purpose of life.
Here is a description of that experience: “The Purpose of Life is Enlightenment – Ch. 13 – Epilogue,” August 13, 2011, at https://goldenageofgaia.com/2011/08/13/the-purpose-of-life-is-enlightenment-ch-13-epilogue/
(2) The Child of God was the Father in the Mother’s created human body, in the Mother’s educational world of matter (mater, Mother), etc. Enlightenment in the Third Dimension followed the pattern of knowledge of the Child (fourth chakra), knowledge of the Mother (sixth chakra), and knowledge of the Father (seventh chakra).
When I say “knowledge of the Mother,” I don’t mean full knowledge of the Mother, which is an impossibility as far as I’m aware. Perhaps initial knowledge of the Mother and Father might be a better way of saying it.
