In the beginning of September 2006 I received an email from an American woman. She suffers from fybromyalgia (see What is Fybromyalgia?) and no matter how interesting many spiritual paradigms are, including this ascension perspective, it really doesn't seem to help a thing.
In an article from Mila from 2004, called 'Tips for Retaining one's Level of Mastery in Ascension ' there is part on fibromyalgia and related diseases under the caption 'detecting false and incomplete ascension patterns'. Perhaps the piece of advice that is given there will prove useful. You might try the intent to return all physical gridwork, information and chi that is taken by your light body (dreamtime body) back to the physical.
What follows is the original email with a few responses from me:
I stumbled across your site last Friday and have spent many hours since then reading your material. Most of it resonates with me and answers some questions that I couldn't quite get answers to. I applaud you for putting this material up for others to learn from without charging (1) for it and think you have some really good explanations of a lot of things.
I seem to go on an intense learning journey every couple of years but then get frustrated and turn my back on all of it for a year or two. My frustration is always due to the same question so I wanted to pose this question to you and see what your response is. What does any of this have to do with the dense reality we are forced to live our day to day lives in?
Does any of the learning, progressing, "ascending", increasing our vibratory rate, etc. have any effect on the reality we live in? How does any of this help us figure out how to pay the bills and feed our kids? Is there anything we can learn that will enable us to heal our bodies or have abundance? (2)
So far nothing I have learned, and I have learned a lot, has helped my fibroymyalgia or helped me figure out how to do more than struggle to survive. None of the ascension material or "spiritual" stuff has changed anything. I still can't walk from one room to the next without excruciating pain. I still struggle to keep the electricity on and food on the table. I still remain depressed most of the time because of what I have to deal with in this "reality". I know this may sound like complaining, but it is basically the wall I run into every time I try to increase my knowledge or work through the process of "ascending". Maybe I am missing the whole point but I guess my question is - what is the point if it doesn't change anything in physical reality? (3)
Thank you for providing such a great learning resource,
Hi,
G.
1) Without Charging for it
Yes, I don't charge for the information on the site, that is one of the things I have always enjoyed very much of the SSOA-site. However, money is part of our world, and both the SSOA and I realize this. They offer CD's, consultations, courses and conclaves and I have decided to place an ad here and there (see Random Section and Ripening of Thoughts).
2) Ascending and effects on our day to day lives?
I can understand your frustration and I am not inclined to tell you that ascension is the answer and solution to everything. I can only tell you that it has been very useful for me. I will give you a few examples. The most influential change came about when I started to intend the return of my subtle bodies (see Subtle Bodies and Lost in Translation). It really made me realize why my heart had been shut for ages and why my emotional body was on holidays most of the time. Another thing that I have found very useful is the way you can restore your body after interpersonal encounters (see Protection Against Unconscious Harm).
Furthermore the consequences of the SSOA-ascension-paradigm are far stretching and I have found them to be very stimulating in reshuffling my perspective on life. It has proven to be a source that continues to provoke new thoughts and it even allowed me to form a mode of thinking that starts to differ more and more from the original perspective. This creative process has been very wholesome to me as well.
It might have all been a coincidence but quite a number of things changed in my life and somehow they all turned out all right and I'm still able to pay my bills, take care of our child, have a part-time job and have enough time to connect with me and all those within (see Part of Two Groups, Improving Source Contact and Pendulum Dependency and Paranoia).
3) What is being mirrored? What are your main thought forms?
I have started to become more interested in any thought form that appears to be 'angular' (see Angular's Inn) for more than one reason. I think there is a way out for everybody, or at least a movement 'upwards', no matter what the karmic situation or the 'genetic package' might be.
I'm really not showing sympathy for your situation, but interest. What are the characteristics of your present reality perspective? What is the nature of the bonds you have with the people around you? Are there many people pulling you apart? Tell me more about your present life: I'm experimenting with my ability to tune into realities (see Tuning Into Astral Realities and The Great Pretender), so I would like to see if I am able to tune into your reality and see what it arouses in me, and perhaps it will lead to a number of other pages that deal with certain thought forms that might be rounded of a bit (see Restoring Balanced Magnetics and Ken's Vibrations, Frequencies and Harmonics).
