Ascension as Sahaja Samadhi – Part 4/4

2012 NOVEMBER 26
Posted by Steve Beckow

SaLuSa has said something today which has actually not been said very often but has always existed in the background as a subject that perhaps needs to be mentioned and discussed. He said:

“If you consider that you will be moving into a new frequency, you will understand that there are various levels within each dimension. You will not therefore all be within the same one, and some people will disappear from your view. We would therefore stress once again, that each soul will find itself exactly in the right level. It will be one that is in harmony with their own vibrations, where they will feel comfortable and at ease.” (1)

Anyone familiar with the literature of life after death, which has been up to now, the source of our knowledge of the higher dimensions, will know that the planes most discussed – the Astral and Mental Planes or Fourth and Fifth Dimensions- are gradated.

The grades on the Astral Plane feature such names as the Dark Planes or Winterlands, the Stony Plane, the Lower Summerlands, the Middle Summerlands, and the Higher Summerlands. Many of these names are widely used but nothing stops any spirit from using a different name for any one plane. There is no rule; just custom so names may differ. (2)

The Mental Plane usually goes more often by the simple device of the First Mental Plane, Second, Third, etc. The ancients used to call the Mental Plane “heaven” and so many of us will have heard of the second heaven, third heaven up to the seventh heaven.

Most people after Ascension are headed for the first heaven or the first subplane of the Fifth Dimension. But many, as SaLuSa implies in today’s message, will go to a higher subplane of the Fifth and many more, Starseeds among them, will go to planes higher than the Fifth.

And SaLuSa tells us what that will mean for us. Just as people who choose not to ascend may leave the Earth through natural causes and disappear from our midst, so those who go higher to different dimensions than we end upon will also be seen to disappear. So the days leading up to and following Ascension will see a much greater amount of separation than we may have thought and perhaps SaLuSa is trying to make us aware of that and prepare us for one more change that has the potential to confuse and perplex us.

Dear friends, Steve Beckow begins a new fascinating and - as usual - well documented article here

The Unfoldment of the Divine Mother’s Plan – Part 1/3

2012 NOVEMBER 28
Posted by Steve Beckow

The many representations of Jacob’s Ladder are depictions of the Divine Plan

Archangel Michael told us on Nov. 8, 2012 that what we see occurring all around us is the “magnificent unfoldment of the Mother’s plan.” (1)

On May 25, 2012, Archangel Gabrielle also remarked that all is “in exact divine order and unfoldment of the Divine Mother’s Plan.” (2)

At the Sedona Conference, the Divine Mother herself, through Linda Dillon, spoke of “the unfoldment, sweet angel, of my Plan.” (3)

What is the Divine Plan that the Universal Mother is unfolding?

The Plan at Its Highest Levels and as It Relates to Ascension

At its highest levels it’s a Plan that gives the Creator the opportunity to meet itself. Back in 2006 a channeled source calling itself the Heavenly Host expressed it this way: “It is all just experience to satisfy the Creator’s desire to experience Itself through Its creations.” (4)

Sanat Kumara, the planetary logos, confirms that a return to Source lies at the very heart of the Plan.

“The Cosmic Day must be fulfilled and you, dear ones, must return to your Source and fulfill the Cosmic Day as the Plan was intended. The intention of the Plan has always been for you to return to Source. The Plan was never for you to fall away from the light into utter darkness. The reversal of the downfall has been created and now blessed ones, you are returning to your place in the light of your eternal God Selves.” (5)

All the depictions of Jacob’s Ladder of descending and ascending consciousness are representations of the Divine Plan. From God we came and to God we return: such is the Plan at its highest level. Those who wish to follow it may wish to read other articles on it on this site. (6)

Here, let’s focus on it as it relates to this present day, to what has been called the end times of duality, and to the Ascension that’s happening very soon. Ascension is like taking one step on the return journey to God.

The Divine Mother states that “[Ascension] is my plan. It is the Divine Plan and it is what we have waited for. Your countdown is on and so is ours.” (7) St. Germain ties Ascension in to the endless journey back to Source when he says:

“There is an immutable plan that is well advanced for your final experiences, that shall lift you out of duality fully into the Light and Love that knows no equal or limitations. Your future is assured amongst the dimensions of Light, and every step you take is nearer to the Source of All That Is.” (8)

Saul focuses on what the Divine Plan for Ascension will bring us: “God’s divine plan for you to awaken into the brilliant Light of eternal day where all that has caused you pain and suffering will be gone, leaving only Reality, Love, the absolute bliss of being one with your Father, complete, joyful,and forever at Peace in the enlightened Knowledge of His loving embrace.” When this happens on the day of Ascension, “all will be clear and all shadows will have dissipated as the clarity of Reality surrounds you.” (9)

It’s therefore a magnificent Plan that promises us everything we could wish for from life.

Who Formulated the Plan?

In the first instance, we hear from every source that God created the Plan – whether we choose to think of God as the Mother or Father or in some other way. For instance, SaLuSa tells us that “God set out the master plan, eons of time ago, that would ensure as this cycle ended it would be in triumph for those seeking to return to the Light.” (10)

But having laid out the master Plan, God left it to higher-level beings to apply it to things like our Golden Age. Matthew Ward tells us that “the highest universal council members … long ago conceived and crafted the Golden Age’s master plan.” (11)

The master Plan has yielded plans for each stage of the return journey. St. Germain through Mike Quinsey refers to “the plan of the High Councils and Elohim for the destiny of Earth and its people.” (12)

SaLuSa supports his assertion: “The Galactic Federation is just one group of dedicated souls, that are fully committed to ensuring Ascension is successful. Behind us are even more powerful ones such as the Elohim, and many Masters and High Beings of pure Light.” (13) Elsewhere he expands:

“All is … in the hands of exceptionally powerful Beings who will ensure that all action is completed in accordance with the Divine Plan. They oversee our activities and we have complete and utter faith in them. We obey their instructions to the letter, and know we are taking the best course of action for all concerned.” (14)

The Galactic Federation recently through Blossom Goodchild advised us that “one would perhaps be astounded at the number of levels there are involved in this GRAND DIVINE PLAN.” (15) So complicated is it that SaLuSa reminds us that “only the higher sources will be able to clearly define the details of the plan.” (16)

Thus we see from a cross-section of sources that the Father/Mother One has a Plan for life and for Ascension which, in its broadest terms, sees us mounting steps by successive Ascensions on a return journey home to the Source. The Plan has been decreed by God and formulated by high universal councils and light beings and is being carried out by such star councils as the Galactic Federation and other assemblies of higher-dimensional beings gathered around the Earth for just this purpose.

Tomorrow we’ll look at the extent of the Plan for Ascension, how it fits with our freewill, some of what it mandates and where the energy comes from that will cause our uplift.

Here is part 2 of Steve Beckow's new article

The Unfoldment of the Divine Mother’s Plan – Part 2/3

2012 NOVEMBER 29
Posted by Steve Beckow

(Continued from Part 1)

Not Just the Earth is Ascending

We tend to think of Ascension as happening only on Earth but apparently it’s happening throughout the Third-Dimensional universe. According to SaLuSa: “In the larger picture you are looking at a Divine Plan for the Ascension of the Universe.” (1)

“Your All-Loving God has plans well beyond your understanding,” he states, “and the goal is to successfully move your Universe into the higher vibrations.” (2)

“The changes are affecting … not just your solar system, but Universe and Galaxy. It is a tremendous change of scope beyond your imagination, and involves Beings of unlimited power and love. They carry out the Will of God and in that lies your assurance that all will proceed according to the Divine Plan.” (3)

He tells us that “a Universal edict,” which is the Divine Plan itself, “has been served on all creation that has responded by preparing in readiness for the great change to the higher dimensions.” (4)

Most other parts of the universe are fitting into God’s Plan. It is only Earth that is having difficulties with it, SaLuSa informs us:

“The Creator has expressed a desire that all within your Universe shall ascend and it is only your Earth that is experiencing a battle to be part of that upliftment. All other planets and dimensions are sufficiently advanced, to move with the changes without any difficulty.” (5)

The Plan and Our Freewill

How does the Divine Plan fit in with our freewill? On an everyday basis, SaLuSa says:

“You might reflect on the fact that you have created your reality, but it was at a higher level that the divine plan was conceived and it will not change except for divine intervention.” (6)

It was known, SaLuSa says, “even when you first came to Earth that the cycle would complete with your successful Ascension. The power behind these events is the Creator, and although freewill is ever operating, some [events] are pre-ordained.” (7)

“As you can imagine spiritual matters are highly organised, and progress is coordinated for Humankind so that as many souls as possible move into the Light. You are all acting out your roles for the benefit of the whole, and a game it may be, but one that is deadly serious. The emphasis is on getting you to awaken to your true selves, and taking responsibility for all you do.” (8)

We had a part in the formulation of the Plan, Damur of Antares tells us: “You helped to design the Grand Plan that you find yourselves in.” (9) Archangel Michael agrees:

“Most of you have witnessed and been part of the formulations of this Divine Plan. You have asked in your heart – to me, Steve, you have asked – how does this Plan get formulated? And it does not simply come from what you think of as the heavenly realms or the divine heart. Yes, that is where the inspiration is born.

“But each of you have had a piece of the formulation of this Plan. That is also why you are here. You have said, ‘I will go, and I will be in form, and I will part of that unfoldment. I will be part of the anchoring of that promise, of that new reality of love.’” (10)

Not only that, but we will awaken to our role in the Plan at the precise right moment, Melchizedek tells us.

“Each of you is programmed to remember your role in the Divine Plan in perfect Divine timing so that the greater Light and understanding that comes to you can be of great assistance to all. There is no way this remembrance can be forced to come to you before your time.” (11)

Hilarion tells us that people who are reading these messages can expect to be serving the Plan as lightworkers.

“Each person will blossom in a myriad of ways that create a new template that will be boundless in its possibilities. If you are reading this, then you are One who has qualified to serve the Divine Plan at a greater level.” (12)

Some Elements of the Plan

The object of the Plan is “to help as many souls as possible to move back into the higher dimensions through Ascension.” (13) To do that, it has been arranged that the galactics come forward at the right time to speed along our preparations, as SaLuSa tells us.

“Our presence is also part of the greater plan, and we will join you at the appropriate time and ensure your progress takes off in leaps and bounds. Our preparations have been in place for a long time and updated and ready to commence at a minute’s notice. As always our influence and guidance is felt by many of you, and we work with you even although you may be unaware of it.” (14)

“The Forces of Light have never gathered together on Earth in such numbers for millennia of time. This is of course in accordance with the Divine Plan.” (15)

“I … can tell you that we are getting excited as the day moves ever nearer when we shall meet. It is part of the divine plan and must take place, and we shall ensure it is so.” (16)

Matthew Ward says that many millions of star brothers and sisters are here to help.

“The plan included millions and millions of souls from advanced civilizations whose essential assistance on, within and above Earth assured that she not only would survive death throes, but would be restored to her original paradise self, where all her people live in harmony with each other and all of Nature.” (17)

Part of what they are here to do is to end war on Earth, SaLuSa tells us.

“It is a Divine Decree that your cycle of duality ends with war having been totally eradicated, and peace having been firmly established. For too long your rights have been taken away, and the time has been reached for them to be totally restored. The old paradigm is now defunct, and will draw no more energy to sustain it any longer. A new day has commenced that will bloom into its magnificence with Ascension.” (18)

The Energy that Will Uplift us Comes from the Father/Mother One

Part of the Plan is to flood the universe with the Divine Light needed to cause the expansion of consciousness that the Ascension is at its essence. Archangel Michael through Ronna Herman explains the nature and impact of the Light which is streaming down upon us at this time leading up to the shift.

“The Light of the Creator contains energy, intelligence and everything necessary to create worlds without end and to fulfill the Divine plan.” (19)

That Light has been steadily increasing for over a century now in accordance with the Plan, according to SaLuSa.

“For over a century, the amount of Light being brought to bear on you has increased tenfold, and has been instrumental in lifting many of you up. This is in accordance with the Divine Plan to release you from the lower vibrations, and end the cycle whilst giving every soul the opportunity to rise up.” (20)

The Divine Mother has been sending us this energy, directly from the heart of One and into our bodies, as she discusses here:

“Yes, sweet angels of mine, my legion of light, my angels of love, you are in the middle of the Transition, you are in the middle of the Shift, you are riding the waves of love that the Father and I are sending directly into your heart, through the portal of your heart, through the Ascension portal of the planet.

“And from there it is diffusing into each of your chakras, into your body, into your brain and yes there is also energy being sent directly through your crown chakra. It is activating not only your pineal, your hypothalamus, your pituitary; it is activating portions of your hemisphere that have never been activated in the human race.” (21)

The energy the Mother is sending us is love, which SaLuSa calls the glue of the universe.

“All life is inextricably linked by what you sometimes refer to as the glue of the Universe. The energy that it exists in can be considered as the body of God and therefore All Is God.” (22)

The Father/Mother One is showering us with light to see that the Plan is realized.

“Are we sending the energy from the Father and I? We have never stopped, in fact it is increasing daily and yesterday we increased it even more. So you may be feeling it and we’ve told you a new chapter has begun in this Ascension process.

“Dear hearts, you are well underway. Now are the lightholder communities ahead of the wave as it were? Yes. But that has also always been part of the plan.” (23)

Tomorrow we look at the unstoppability of the Plan and hear the request from the Company of Heaven to trust in the outcome of the vast plans that have been made for our Ascension to the higher planes.

And finally, part 3. Enjoy the read!

The Unfoldment of the Divine Mother’s Plan – Part 3/3

2012 NOVEMBER 30
Posted by Steve Beckow

(Concluded from Part 2)

The Plan is Unstoppable

All things great and small are ruled by the Divine Plan. In regard to humanity, the Plan lays out our pathway from and to God. SaLuSa tells us that “the grand plan for Man is perfect in its concept and whatever path you take, it will always lead to your goal.” (1) That goal is reunion with the Source.

On another occasion, he reminds us that “there is nothing to fear, your future is absolutely assured – and that is by Divine Decree.” (2) Speaking more particularly of Ascension, he says: “When it commences there cannot be any other outcome, as the Divine Plan will manifest regardless of any outer happenings.” (3)

A divine decree cannot be stopped, he tells us. “Be sure, Dear Ones, that when a divine edict is given it is the Law of the Creator.” (4) Moreover the galactics tell us that they can easily modify their plans to adjust to any change. SaLuSa says:

“There is a clearly-defined plan for your future, but we can easily accommodate any changes necessary. We follow all events taking place on Earth, and as a result can adjust our actions accordingly. However, there is a core plan which shall manifest and take you through to Ascension as intended.

“The path to Ascension is to be cleared of any attempts to prevent it from manifesting.” (5)

Most of us are not used to thinking in the ways that SaLuSa and the others do. To some of us, all of this probably sounds like the movie Tron or The Thirteenth Floor. (6)

But nevertheless part of the mysteries of life is that life does proceed according to Divine Plan, divine decrees, universal laws, etc. We are in fact created beings and we move inside a universe that is ruled by a Creator’s commands, whether we choose to believe it or not.

What we don’t realize as well is that we ourselves are that Creator, a fact that we don’t come face to face with until an advanced stage of enlightenment. Ascension is such a stage.

Saul assures us that “the divine plan … is leading you forwards towards the moment of your awakening into your natural and fully-conscious state.” The changes “have reached a momentum that is unstoppable and irreversible.” (7) In another message, he observes that “the divine plan continues to unfold precisely as intended, and as it must; nothing else is possible.” (8)

On these grounds, the Arcturian Group assures us that “all is proceeding according to plan.” (9) Even the order in which things is done is determined by the Plan, Wanderer of the Skies reminds us.

“Keep in mind that as these matters develop, they are done so in a specific order for a specific reason that is interconnected to a much grander plan than we cannot reveal to you now.” (10)

“Even in the chaos that comes and goes,” SaLuSa reveals, “there is reason and it follows a plan as everything else does.” (11)

The way the Light Beings put matters is that “the kingdom of God is coming to earth. … Rest assured that the Plan is unfolding exactly as it should.” (12)

And the Divine Mother tells us that we are past the tipping point.

“It is not growing so that you will reach a tipping point. You are already there. …

“You are ready to come home to your Fifth Dimension, to your Nova Earth, to your nova self in your magnificent form of crystalline, diamonds under pressure. That is what we have worked so diligently with you for so long. Oh, long before you were born.” (13)

Trust in Us

Furthermore, the Mother asks us not to despair if many people have not awakened yet. To ensure they do is part of our mission.

“Do not despair if you look at certain communities and you say they are not aware as yet, the work is being done within. We are not concerned. And one of the reasons, sweet one, we are not concerned is because each of you, the way-showers, the healers, the teachers, the channelers are doing your job.

“You have stepped forward in magnificent ways and you have extended yourself and I do not mean in discussing the plan or Ascension or the Shift, you have extended yourself in a new way of love, in a way that is without judgment and increasingly without doubt without despair, without blame, without fault.” (14)

SaLuSa asks us to trust the Company of Heaven to bring the Plan in as formulated.

“Trust in us and God that events are going to proceed as promised, and do not worry as to the timing as it will occur in a way that is exactly correct for the desired outcome. Also be assured that the end times will work out as planned, and that responsibility is ours and everything is totally prepared.” (15)

Our own ascended masters, like Hilarion, also ask us to trust that “all unfolds as set forth in the Divine Plan for your personal and collective destiny.” (16)

Given all that has been said about the Plan and all the reassurances we’ve been given, the Mother asks us not to be distracted but to embrace it and forge ahead.

“My beloved ones, children of my heart, children of my being, showers of the way, hybrids and angels, starseeds and humans: Do not allow yourselves to be distracted. Hold your focus and be your faith, and know that you are in the unfoldment, and you are the unfoldment, and that all goes forward according to plan, according to my plan and according to yours.

“Yes, the changes are rapid at this juncture. And that is why I ask of you: do not be distracted, and focus on the truth that Michael instills in your heart and the clarity that I give each of you, in each of your bodies and in your core. Prepare and be the final event, and simply know I am with you.

“Do not turn away, for this is the time for you to go straight forward — no, not with blinkers, but with full vision and open hearts, with compassion and joy and the fulfillment of love.” (17)

So we’re given a view of life that probably departs very much from what we, as educated beings living in the Twenty-First Century, probably have accepted as real until now.

We’re told that all of life, and certainly this Ascension, is ruled by orderliness and that nothing can triumph against this order once the divine decree is issued. The Divine Plan is for Ascension to occur and nothing will stop it.

We’ve looked at the Divine Plan for this Age, where it comes from, who’s bringing it forth, how it’s being enacted, and what the outcome will be. We’re now in the last stages of its implementation, but, even once implemented, what happens afterward and indeed what happens throughout life – or throughout our many lives and many Ascensions – will still be governed by divine plans, laws and decrees.

“Few Seek It, Fewer Attain It”

2012 DECEMBER 13
Posted by Steve Beckow

Lao Tzu

There’s one aspect of what’s happening today which we could easily overlook and that’s that very few seek enlightenment and fewer attain it. Yet today we see and hear that countless thousands are seeking it by desiring Ascension and, apparently, hundreds of thousands of early risers are attaining it.

Let’s listen to terrestrial sages discuss the matter. Sri Krishna said, in theBhagavad Gita:

Who cares to seek
For that perfect freedom?
One man, perhaps,
In many thousands. (1)

Swami Brahmananda, one of Sri Ramakrishna’s small band of disciples and a companion of Sri Krishna’s tells us that “out of thousands, perchance one desires for God” (2) on one occasion and on another, “only one in a million sincerely longs for God, and few sustain that longing.” (3)

Few sustain the longing. In other words, they may feel a burst of desire to attain God on one day and then move to another desire the day after. Our lives are a constant and eternal cycle of desire in which the desire to realize God is only one among many competing wants.
The Upanishads depict our situation this way:

“To many it is not given to hear of the Self. Many, though they hear of it, do not understand it. Wonderful is he who speaks of it. Intelligent is he who learns of it. Blessed is he who, taught by a good teacher, is able to understand it.” (4)

Writing in the code that he was famous for, Lao Tzu (later incarnated as the ascended master Dhjwal Khul) said that:

“In all the world but few can know
Accomplishment apart from work,
Instruction when no words are used.” (5)

To accomplish “apart from work” implies remaining in the stillness associated with samadhi, a state which I actually have experienced for perhaps an hour in my lifetime. It was not permanent for me but a fleeting experience. Only with sahaja samadhi or Ascension does it become permanent.
And God is prior to words; again only in samadhi is God known. So Lao Tzu is saying “but few” know God and exist in the state that results.

Krishna

Sri Krishna

Krishna who had said that only “one man, perhaps, in many thousands yearns for God goes on to say:

“Then tell me how many
Of those who seek freedom
Shall know the total
Truth of my being?
Perhaps one only.” (6)

And later in the same work, Krishna tells us that:

“Fools pass blindly by the place of my dwelling
Here in the human form, and of my majesty
They know nothing at all,
Who am the Lord, their soul.” (7)

What Krishna calls “fools,” which we would call ordinary folk, haven’t the slightest suspicion that God lives in the heart and fail to seek Him/Her/It there.

This desire to acquaint us with our real situation was probably the reason why Jesus said: “Many are called, but few are chosen.” (8) Many are given God’s calling cards (revelations, visions, etc.), but only a very few purify themselves so that they’re fit to realize the Father.

He went on to add that “strait is the gate and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” (9) By “life” here he means not eternal life per se, which we all have regardless of our desires, but liberation from the need to be reborn into physical life, which we’ll attain upon Ascension.

Sri Ramakrishna

In the Gnostic Gospels, Jesus is quoted as saying “I shall choose you, one from a thousand, and two from ten thousand.” (10) So again: very few.

Richard Rolle, a medieval sage, tells us that “this mystery is hidden from the many, and is revealed to the few, and those the most special. So the more sublime such a level is, the fewer – in this world – are those who find it.” (11) Sahaja samadhi, the level associated with Ascension, would have been to Rolle a very high level.

His near contemporary, the blessed Henry Suso, agreed: “Not many succeed.” (12) Nisargatta put a number to it: only “one in a million understands all this play of consciousness [and] transcends it.” (13)

Sri Ramakrishna also attached a number to the success rate: “Out of a hundred thousand kites, at best but one or two break free; and Thou dost laugh and clap Thy hands, O Mother, watching them!” (14)

He describes why so very few among householders have succeeded historically:

“A few [householders] succeed in [spiritual life] through the grace of God and as a result of their spiritual practice. But most people fail. Entering the world, they become more and more involved in it; they drown in worldliness and suffer the agonies of death. A few only … have succeeded, through the power of their austerity. … Therefore spiritual practice is extremely necessary; otherwise one cannot live rightly in the world.” (15)

So we may simply accept statements like thousands ascended early or many ascended masters are appearing in our midst but these are not at all usual occurrences and are themselves proof of what’s happening today.
