Quite simply, Ascension is remembering who you are.

We are all spiritual beings, a part of God, but we have forgotten this connection while we experienced this third-dimensional world. Ascension means returning to a higher dimension that you never left—remembering a higher dimension where you have always been.

Initially, Ascension on this plane means moving from 3-D to 4-D. After some time, we will then move to 5-D, but it never really ends, because we are infinite, and we never stop growing and evolving.

4-D

4-D has similarities to 3-D. We will still have bodies, except that our bodies can be completely healed and can be however we wish them to be. They are just vehicles. The veil will be gone, and we will see spirits and entities, our teachers, easily again. Animals that have been extinct will return, including the so-called mythological animals, such as griffins and unicorns. In reality, they never left, but we will see them again.

Color will be a whole new experience in 4-D. You may be experiencing 4-D colors now. They go beyond what we call the "visible spectrum" in 3-D. They are incredibly deep and vibrant.

The shift into 4-D is a tonal shift, and everyone who heals will have 12 chakras, not 7. (The more a being ascends, the more chakras they have. This is why some of the teacher entities in ancient Egypt were 30 feet or more tall. The depictions of scale in ancient Egypt is not fantasy; it was a picture of reality.)

Manifestation will occur very quickly—what we think, we create. This cycle occurs in 3-D, but the amount of time it takes to create in this way is speeding up. If you think about it, you can see this in your life. Good or bad, whatever you focus on is what comes to you. And, with the end of karma, attempts to harm simply rebound onto ourselves with lightning speed. But we will quickly learn that we don't want to do that, as we release our egos...

5-D and Beyond

When we ascend to 5-D, we will realize we don't need our bodies, and we will return to Light. Is it hard to imagine yourself without a body? To imagine yourself as a spark of God's Divine Love? This is who you really are. The ego wraps itself in the body, but this is not truth. This is not you.

All of the great masters "live" here, and beyond: Christ, Quan Yin, Buddha, Ganesh, St. Francis, the list goes on and on.

Ascension and Healing

I am often asked what we need to do to prepare for ascension, and there is only one answer: work on your own healing. We will all ascend, one way or the other. We may live through the ascension here on Earth. Some of us have chosen to do this. Some have not. Those who have not will still ascend, but they will do so by the death of their physical body. This is their choice. Everyone has free will.

If you are reading this, chances are you want to stay, and you are being called to healing.

Healing is critical. The energies that are coming in now are very high frequency, and our bodies are working to integrate them. This affects everyone, even healers. As a result, our bodies are having strange healing responses: sudden illnesses, hospitalizations, you name it. I have had a pretty major healing response myself, which landed me in the hospital for awhile. Energetically, it was all good, but it was a scary experience.

Of course, as I've written elsewhere, the physical manifestation of illness comes from problems in the spiritual, mental, and emotional bodies. In order to heal, we must reconnect our emotions, and we must reconnect with Spirit. There are no shortcuts.

Earth Changes

The Earth Changes are an important part of the Ascension. Gaia has much to heal, much she has suffered at our hands. She is doing so. Gaia's healing may leave some areas in the "emergency room" for awhile as she heals, but we can help her with this and make the transition as smooth as possible. The global warming that is occuring is due in large part to the amount of energy she is exerting in making these changes. She is generating a lot of heat...

Which isn't to say we shouldn't be green. Oil has got to go. Free energy IS available, and it has been suppressed by the people who control the world's economy today. They are losing their grip, however, and it is changing... hang on for the ride, some systems must fall before we can build anew.

When Will the Ascension Happen?

It is happening now. Look around you. Healing is like making chicken soup. First, all the scum rises to the surface. The chaos and violence in the world are a sign that healing is occurring. People are actually getting sick of it. We will find the way of peace.

2012 is certainly a factor. There will probably be an Ascension event at that time, and no one can say what that will look like with certainty. I believe it will be an energetic pulse that will trigger masses of people to wake up. The veil may drop at this time. However, it will not be the ONLY Ascension event. Ascension is a process. If it weren't, probably none of us could survive it. There will be other events following 2012, and this will continue for decades.

Past Ascension Events and Grid Shifts

At least one Ascension event has occurred in the past. Notably, one occurred with the birth of the man known as Jesus Christ. In a very obscure Gnostic text regarding his birth (in a cave, not a stable in Bethlehem), the Sun stopped in the sky for 24 hours—the Earth stopped rotating on its axis. This wasn't because he was the sole Son of God (everyone is the Son/Daughter of God), but rather because of the energy he brought to the planet. Full Ascension could have occurred in his lifetime, but the world was not ready.

Grid shifts occur continuously. 9/11 heralded a huge grid shift, for example. The Harmonic Convergence brought about a grid shift. Sometimes a natural disaster, like the Indonesian tsunami, is the result of a grid shift. Certainly, the geological records of the Earth suddenly flipping magnetic poles (from north to south, or vice versa) probably indicate similar events in our past.
