THE FLIP SIDE TO THE ASCENSION PENNY
Toni Burcher
14 August 2009

I had a realisation / remembrance (d'oh! moment :-P) regarding Ascension. Maybe it was simply lost in translation?? As yes, Ascension is a word that we use to describe a raise in Consciousness, but it is also used to describe how heaven will be brought to earth… brought DOWN to earth. That the work done to get us ‘up there’ is simply the first step in bringing ‘up there’ down here, down to here and Now. And that due to the definition of the word itself, and possibly due to the blissfully expansive and deep feelings that Being ‘up there’ brings, that the downward part of the Ascension process can be overlooked. That just as attachment to spirituality can serve as a distraction to the real work (see Lauren C. Gorgo post: http://consciousco-creationalcoaching.blogspot.com/2009/08/stabilizing-in-new-timeline.html), so too can attachment to being ‘up there’ serve as a distraction to the real work of Ascension, bringing the higher energies down into Being, grounding the higher energies here and Now.

There is a lot of focus on rising up to higher realms of Consciousness, on moving closer to our higher Selves, on getting ‘up there’. Yet it was some time after establishing a connection to the Higher Aspects of that which I AM it dawned on me that that was just the first part of the process (D'oh! Back to restudy Spirituality 101, I think... :-P). In creating a pathway to ‘up there’ I was actually establishing a pathway to down here, the here and Now. And however beautiful, however blissfully deep and expansive Being ‘up there’ is, it wasn’t so much about being 'up there’ and Being with All-I-AM, but more about creating a way to bring All-I-AM down here into Being, Now.

I realised my dedication to becoming a Conscious Being had built a bridge to the Higher Aspects of that which I AM. I AM The Way for Total Presence to be Present here and Now, at each and every moment. And I need to keep that Way open and allow the higher dimensional energies to be here Now. But I had been going ‘up there’, generally standing stationary in a spaced out trance like state (d'oh!). The attachment to ‘up there’ had distracted me from the real work… remaining Present here and Now whilst rising ‘up there’, to thus FULLY ground All-I-AM into physical Being. The experience based work and the energetic clearings & raisings to get me ‘up there’ were simply to get that which I AM to BE Present down here and experience Now… experience Now as One fully Conscious and functional Being, not needing to remain stationery for that which I AM to BE Present.

This realisation / remembrance assisted my transition greatly, and allowed that which I AM to BE here Now… I AM here Now… ahhhh… :-) Still, it was such a “d'oh!” moment in so many ways when I remembered that this is what the Ascension process was deigned for after all, to bring higher dimensional energies (down) into Being, to bring heaven (down) to earth. One I think others may feel when the penny finally flips and drops. ;-)
