As was previously said, the ascension is blending and union of our lower part with higher. It's the Sacred Union everyone seeks.
We - Starseeds, Incarnated Angels, Teachers, Healers etc came to Earth and recieved lower parts of our personalities attached to highest we already had.
We all have difficult task to integrate these two opposing parts. If they aren't fully integrated, our life consists of conflicting and opposing ( like reflection of inner life). Ths blending lower energies with higher were explained in one of Star Healers Channelings - Transforming negative energies. lightworkers.org/content/51064/star-healers-transforming-negative-energies.
We consciousely came here to recieve lower energies and transform them. And now is the time, when our lower ego releases the burden of past, and fuses with higher ego. We transformed rage into power, envy and jelousy inti self-love, blaming and accusation into understanding of Cosmic laws...
We learnt that forgiveness is knowledge - knowledge that everyone is responsible for their deeds.  Forgiveness is also seeing the future - when every soul is freed from karma and enlightened. Maybe, not very distant future?
