(Concluded from Part 1, above.)
***
It’s not my job to remain in ecstasy, as wonderful as it is, whereas it might be the job of a spiritual teacher. I’m a writer: It’s my job to report my experience.
Just know that reporting it takes me out of the experience. I come out to type and go back in again after.
That in itself is a new development. In the past, if I was interupted and came out, I couldn’t go back in again. I “lost it.”
Don’t overlook the new developments for confidence-building indications of our movement, progress, unfoldment.
I can settle the question now of whether I see dimensions, locales, or settings or not when I explore interdimensionally. The answer is “no.” I have no awareness of a differing of locale from my everyday state.
My explorations are purely in states of consciousness. I feel the higher states. I feel love, bliss, and ecstasy.
I’ve tried the locale theory on, tested it out, and seen that it doesn’t fit. I recommend we all try on the new things we’ll be hearing about soon, test them out, and see if they fit.
In the case of ecstasy, I feel peace, stillness, and quiet in the background while at the same time, like an irresistible tide, coming in and going out, I feel a mood that shifts and changes, from one divine state to the next. I’m reminded of Michael’s description of the love I experienced in the heart opening:
Archangel Michael: The feeling, the experience – because it is so much more than a feeling – the knowingness is actually very simple. It is love. In that, there are the elements of joy, of peace, of calm, of serenity…of simply being.
(1) (My emphasis.)
Ecstasy makes all the other divine states accessible. It’s at the other end of the spectrum from the stillness I feel in the background.
Stillness is like the baseball pitcher and ecstasy is like the catcher. Stillness launches curve balls, sliders, etc., and ecstasy catches them all and experiences the pitch (“Wow, what a sizzler that was!”).

We have to realize that we’re talking here about the way life is designed. It’s designed such that stillness becomes a launch pad for the divine states, rather than an end in itself and that ecstasy is the vessel at the other end, capable of catching and holding all the divine states. According to this metaphor, stillness is like Cape Canaveral and ecstasy is like the Moon.
There’s no action component to ecstasy. One is at the end of the dimensional road. There’s nothing more to do than acknowledge and bless.
How well it’s all designed.
The quality I experience in the background is now one of completion or rest. And with all systems at rest, as I said seemingly eons ago, all that remains is me. …
Reminder to Self: Visit; don’t stay.
Postscript. I sense now that remaining in ecstasy would affect my relationship with others; i.e., through my journalism. I get experientially why I should visit and not stay. Before I only understood it intellectually. I’m therefore happy now to relinquish this state and return to my original mission: To ascend along with everyone else and write about it.
Footnotes
(1) Remember what Michael once said. I’ve looked and looked for the quote and can’t find it: I’d said to him that classical enlightenment theory was that a person could only hope to realize one divine state in their lifetime. He said there was no reason why someone could not realize them all.
Ecstasy appears to be the state in which one experiences and enjoys them all.
Michael has identified ecstasy as twelfth-dimensional:
Steve: The space that I call transformative love, what dimension is it?
Archangel Michael: It is the Seventh Dimension. …
Steve: And ecstasy?
AAM: Twelfth. (Archangel Michael in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, Jan. 20, 2016.)
Again, I think this opening up of interdimensionality can be seen as an indication of the impact on us of the love energies the Mother is sending us, through various channels.
As we ascend, spiritual advance appears to get easier. We knew that would happen from studying the Mayan calendar, prior to 2012. Before 2012, the environment was becoming increasingly dense. The year 2012 was the crossover date and now, as the Golden Age unwinds, life should soon be getting lighter and lighter, better and better for us.
