Toward a World that Works for Everyone
Sometimes I find myself making a thing of the “mind.” And I think of this thing as something I must have to survive. Control my mind, lose my mind … without the mind, I’m not me. … I guess it all depends on what you mean by “mind.” And, really, it’s super-difficult discussing the matter […]
For me, to “be in the moment” and to “be aware” cover 95% of the same territory. Michael wants me to be in the moment. We’ve discussed it on a number of occasions: Archangel Michael: Think of it! You are part of the strategy that we are employing to change the face of humanity! Steve: […]
The transition I’m going through continues. Coincidentally, Daniel’s Scranton’s 9D Arcturian Council said recently: “And so, you are now being given upgrades, upgrades that will assist you in not only remembering who you are and who you have been, but they will also assist you in recognizing that all the technology you need is inside […]
In the course of some other work, I stumbled across a statement that Swami Nikhilananda made about his master, Sri Ramakrishna, which reorganized my view of the latter. But a word of preface to make it understandable. In “New Maps of Heaven,” (1) I pleaded for some order in the naming of planes, dimensions, and […]
I recently attended a Zoom meeting for the spiritual wing of a professional group. I’ve electronically signed a confidentiality agreement so let me not divulge details. But I think it is permissible to say that it answered a question for me: Are there people out there in the wider world (OK, professionals) who understand Ascension […]
When my memory returns and if I ever do another radio show with Michael, I think I’d like to call it The Open Heart. Why? Because Ascension is in reality a full and permanent heart opening. There have been so many discussions among classical sages of the hridaym or heart aperture being closed. Let me […]
I acknowledge that the whole of the Third Dimension seems designed in such a way that it’d be extremely difficult to live one’s life successfully in social isolation. It favors collaboration. I’m a hermit so it presents extra challenges to me. And I’m not recommending my lifestyle to anyone. It’s what I need, to write, […]
Folks, I consider this message from Jesus to be important. In it he reveals that we’re not simply heading soon for the Great Awakening, which is the name he uses for the culmination of Ascension, but instead going through stages or phases. He reviews the reasons for not discussing this matter earlier. The climax of […]
I confess I’m enjoying this series. Nothing feeds me more than the study of enlightenment. Let me post one more, from Plotinus. Plotinus had numerous transcendental experiences in his lifetime. I’ve posted this passage before. It also may emanate from one who ascended. Is this not a hint of his attainment: “Remaining here, you have […]
Pseudo-Dionysius was a Syrian-Christian transcendental philosopher of the late 5th to early 6th century. I’ve always found him one of the most profoundly inspiring of sages who appear to know what the ascended state is. His predicament, I believe, was how do I communicate what is ultimately incommunicable to people who won’t know what I’m […]
St. Paul gave an intriguing view of Ascension in 1 Corinthians. I want to single it out for comment. First let me give the passage and then interpret it, using more modern language. Paul in 1 Corinthians 15: 42-55. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised […]
Let’s next look at the concept of the culmination of Ascension in Christianity. Jesus and his disciples called the culminating event the Resurrection, Redemption, and Salvation. Resurrection was from mortality to immortality, as Jesus asserts that he has accomplished: “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen.” […]
Let’s turn now to Sri Ramakrishna’s life and words. Sri Ramakrishna was an avatar, a descent of the divine into matter. One of the purposes of his incarnation was to illustrate that the techniques for enlightenment given in the scriptural texts of all religions actually work and the descriptions of the states attained were true. […]
While waiting for the other shoe to drop in world affairs, I’d like to look at how terrestrial spiritual masters like Sri Ramana Maharshi, Jesus, and others have discussed the culmination of Ascension. Most of them don’t speak about Ascension but instead about mukti, moksha, liberation from the wheel of birth and death, etc. , […]
(Concluded from Part 1, yesterday.) If we bring that knowledge now down to the personal, if we narrow the range of the microscope again to the individual … well, me … then what I want to do (and for you it may be different) is to remove the obstacles to feeling wonderful in my life. […]
