Ascension in the Heart of Maitreya
by Brenton Phillis
As we transit into a new age, ascension is critical to humanity's
spiritual development. It is a major process given to assist us
to lift to the higher consciousness necessary to live on Earth as
it becomes a sacred planet. Although the processes of ascension
are little understood, more and more people are turning intuitively
towards ascension, reading about it and trying various ascension
techniques.
Ascension has been with us since ancient times: adepts of the wisdom
absorbing their personal self into spirit to become ascended masters.
From their elevated consciousness, many of these beings continue
to assist their younger brothers and sisters in spirit learn the
lessons of earthly incarnation, to grow in spirit towards the higher
worlds and to serve by helping raise the vibration of all life on
Earth. Others have progressed to other planets and systems to further
their spiritual unfoldment and to take on higher roles.
Ascension is a dynamic process that can happen on many levels of
consciousness. Ascending masters go through a higher form of ascension,
but there are many other levels of ascension. All levels of ascension
involve going from one level of consciousness to a higher one. Many
saints have ascended even though they have not yet reached the soul
development of a master. They have cleared their astral [or emotional]
bodies of lower vibrations and radiate the higher consciousness
they have become, bringing blessings to all. Often they reach a
stage where they could leave the planet, but incarnate again to
develop higher soul qualities.
For thousands of years, ascension has been a slowly moving process
for most of us. But it has been ascension none-the-less. Ascension
has consisted of many lives of spiritual effort: praying, singing,
serving, studying and living by one creed or another – all
in the name of reaching out to God. In these lives we have purified
our thoughts and feelings. We have cleansed our astral bodies and
built finer material into our physical and mental bodies, rising
in our consciousness and rate of vibration.
But in between, we have lead lives in the other direction: making
poor choices and giving in to our lower natures. Overcome perhaps
by traumatic circumstances, we have failed to learn the lessons
inherent in our situation and, by our reactions, have created negative
patterns and energies in our auras. These desires and dross retained
in our astral body, and pride and negativity in our mental body,
are barriers to our higher progress.
Now there is a special ascension, a vastly speeded process given
to humanity to assist in the great change we have entered on Earth.
Ascension in the astral and mental bodies is part of this dynamic
change taking place currently in the consciousness of people living
on Earth. A part of Earth's population is ready for this form of
ascension. For there is an urgent need for the vibration of humanity
to lift – for us to open our hearts to our Higher Self, our
I AM Presence – for us to be in tune with the rising vibration
of the Earth.
Ascension clears the astral and mental bodies of negativity and
lower vibrations, allowing greater contact with the I AM Presence.
Beginning now, and over the next 100 years, Earth's population
will reduce greatly, leaving only the "Children of the Heart,"
those able to live through their heart in selfless identity with
the spiritualised Earth. The soul of those who ascend in this or
the next life will have the choice to return to Earth, or transfer
to another planet to further their spiritual path. To this end,
ascension tools are being given to humanity by the spiritual Hierarchy
to make this transition as painless as possible – a gesture
of great compassion and understanding.
Only those may continue to incarnate on Earth who are able to live
in the increased vibration of the planetary logos, whose relationship
to the Earth is akin to that of the soul [or "Christ within"]
to the human personality. In order for this to happen, our lower
vibrations of astral and mental levels of consciousness must be
cleared, and we must ascend to higher levels of consciousness in
these bodies of the personality. The Board of Karma is providing
cosmic help through the ascension process [among other things] to
move people out as beautifully as possible. This is a unique dispensation
to humanity in a time of spiritual crisis.
The change in the Earth's vibration is a result of the Lord Maitreya,
the Christ or Bodhisattva of Earth, becoming one with the planet
in consciousness. He is becoming the Planetary Logos, fully merging
with Earth when he takes the Buddha initiation in human incarnation
in 500 or so years. Sanat Kumara ["the Ancient of Days"
of the Bible], the planetary logos for millions of years, is departing
this system to progress His path elsewhere. The merging of the Lord
Maitreya with the Earth has already begun, as prophesised in religious
and spiritual groups and writings for thousands of years - as "the
reappearance the Christ." This is the process of Earth becoming
a sacred planet – an energised and vibrating chakra in the
body of the Solar Logos.
For those who are not able to respond in their personality, choosing
not to work towards a higher expression of soul in their physical,
emotional and mental life, the soul will choose also. Necessarily,
the soul will choose to transfer to a planet providing circumstances
where the unlearned lessons of earthly life might continue; where
conditions are similar to those on Earth over the past thousands
of years.
Ascension is a unique given opportunity to clear the astral body
of perhaps thousands and thousands of years of traumatic experiences
which have created positive and mostly negative programs in the
personality, which is so full of desire that the soul cannot enter
into it. Ascension is achieved by a balance of selfless service
and spiritual discipline, including special meditations on symbols
and seed phrases, and a purer vegetarian diet of higher vibration.
In balanced combination, these will result in raising the etheric
substance in the body, and clearing the astral and mental levels.
When sufficient purification and lifting of vibration has been
achieved in physical life, an individual will be assisted before
or after physical death through the temples of ascension established
by the masters. Located on the inner levels, the temples of ascension
contain chambers in which a person can reach ascension. In the Cave
of Symbols, in the Violet Retreat, a chair of acceleration stands.
In this chair, the ascension process is completed by raising the
vibration of a being's astral body or astral/mental bodies, or giving
total ascension when the personal self is totally cleared of negative
particles.
Without its earthly baggage, the soul is then free – free
to choose its upward spiritual path towards the heavenly worlds
or to return to Earth as a child of the heart, continuing with the
spiritual growth of the planet while teaching and lifting humanity.
