Once you start the process of deviating from a certain philosophy you can never tell where it will lead you. Once you allow yourself to cast doubt on certain elements, more elements are bound to follow. This page deals with the question if humanity was 'designed' to ascend to other vibratory bands, or that perhaps we were designed to explore this dimension with the kind of bodies we have at our disposal, not trying to 'run away' from this task by ascending to another dimension?
ZOOSH AND THE ASCENSION OF THE MAYANS
I was told that Robert Shapiro's Zoosh would once have said something interesting about the Mayans who would have ascended to the fourth dimension (see SSoA-excerpts page on Mayans). I was not yet able to verify this story, so, if anyone can point out where this was said, I would like to see it (click the mail box below every page on this site).
In fact it doesn't really matter if it was said by Zoosh or not, for now the idea is worth considering. Here it goes: In a group ascension the Mayan people would have ascended from the third to the fourth dimension, in the biological sense of the word, meaning a complete ascension in which the physical body is gradually biologically transformed to hold a higher vibration in which soul fusion leads to the blending of the physical body and the higher body double, leading to a new vessel in the fourth dimension.
The funny thing would have been that they were not welcomed with open arms, but would have been told that their 'mission' on 3D-Earth would not have been to ascend to the fourth dimension, but it had to do with something that they needed to do in their physical 3D-bodies. Imagine that, you finally manage to ascend your body to this fourth vibrational band, and you get told that this was not the thing to do, in fact you would even have escaped from your true task.
ROBERT A. MONROE
This reminded me of a fragment from one of Robert Monroe's books in which Robert Monroe during his travels with his astral body reaches very high realms. He then goes on to meet some godlike creator consciousness who 'talks' to his consciousness and this being asks: "So, what have you brought her for me, what lessons did you learn?". If I can remember correctly Robert didn't really know what to say, but apparently he had been venturing into territories where he was not expected and it seems that he wasn't really playing by the rules that were set up in that region.
USING OUR BODIES
Could there be something in the idea that we have various bodies at our disposal, including our dreamtime (light) body that can be used for other explorations that are not focused on the retrieval of genetic and karmic records and information? Could there be more to explore and find out that could be of more use to this creation? Are we perhaps here because we are have both a physical and a non-physical aspect, who are perfectly equipped to their job as they are, without any need to ascend any body?
ARE WE MEANT TO ASCEND?
Would it be possible that we are here in this third dimension because we need to do something here, and we should not be working on transforming our bodies to a fourth dimensional vessel? Would the intention to ascend in fact be some kind of escapism from this reality?
THE BREATH OF THE TAO
Although the process of ascension could be used as a way to 'escape' from this reality, I don't think that ascension, by definition, is about escaping this reality. Perhaps I am brainwashed or perhaps even programmed by the SSoA to think in a certain fashion, but the concept of a breathing creator still makes a lot of sense of to me.
A creator consciousness who thinks a few thoughts and these thoughts turn into all kinds of creations, developing in an interesting way that is not completely foreseen by this Tao. This out-breath of Tao 'one day' comes to an end and the in-breath begins. A true complete in-breath implies the return of all segments and consequences of the creations that were made, every single part of it.
If our bodies would really be rather fit for the job that they were meant to perform here, then this would imply that our bodies really are nothing more than a temporary house to be visited by some soul-consciousness. A non-physical aspect that merely uses the 3D-bodies to learn things about this creation, without any need to ascend these temporary vessels.
If this were true then for one why would our bodies age so fast and why would there be so many diseases that attack the body if our bodies were alright as they were? Or would a life of 60-90 years be more than enough to learn the things we need to learn?
Would all the 'electrical' dynamics between people here on earth be nothing more than just a way to learn about the third dimensional reality, which just is a necessary part of the game?
Genetic karma or thought form would only be useful because it might give the other non-physical aspects of a human being the possibility to learn from these themes. There would be no need to change any DNA, for it might just remove an interesting karmic propensity which might be useful for some other incarnating soul.
Not everyone is as enthusiastic about working on the collection of everything in the Tao's in-breath. Not too long ago I received an email from someone who said: I'd just rather go "on to other realms and create new universes and games through which I can continue to learn and grow" rather than go back to the Tao, right at the moment. Maybe that's because I'm "electric" or "electromagnetic" and love excitement.
ASCENSION AND RESPONSIBILY
Responsibility has become one of the key words during the last couple of months. For now, I tend to think that ascending is not about fleeing from your responsibility as a human being, although it might depend on the reason why you want to ascend. If you want to ascend because you are sick and tired of the world around you, or because you are unable to cope with this world or perhaps because you want to feel superior in some way to the people around you, then you might question if your ascension intentions are not fueled by escapism.
I think the drive to collect and understand all parts of this creation is one of the drives that are sound, in order to engage in the ascension process. There are, of course, many ways to understand 'all parts' of creation, and it seems unlikely that one single person could grasp all these aspects. Therefore it stands to reason that different people would explore different parts of this creation, and perhaps even different aspects of one person can try to understand different territories of this world.
If you would prefer to see the physical body as a kind of 'diving suit' then you can use this suit to explore this 3D-world, and perhaps explore astral or etheric planes in order to gain understanding of these planes of existence. Too much focus on the transformation of the 'diving suit' would damage the exploration of the other planes and the 3D-world, and you would contribute to the increase of understanding anyway.
Right now I tend to think that the ascension process has the possibility to explore (and return) every part of creation as long as you make sure that you are not wasting a lot of your time, or that you are in any way turning dogmatic, gullible or fearful.
