No, Ascension Is Not A “Participation Ribbon” Event..Let Me Explain
When I first started my Awakening journey, I was unprepared for the amount of work that would be required of me. The raw effort needed, just to begin to dive deep in my own issues, was exhausting at times. For me, my journey started at a young age, and progressed through different stages of my development. I’m not going to go into the heavy details of my journey in this article, but I will say that I had to do a lot of work learning to communicate. Especially when it came to expressing my emotions, and learning how to separate how I felt, from what others were feeling. A process, I’m still trying to refine to this day.
As I progressed on my journey, I had many experiences, and also read a good amount of content having do with spirituality. I learned the concepts of past lives and karma early on, although my understanding of them evolved as I got older. But again, this may be a good discussion for another article. I will only say, that when you view some of your past lives, you must be prepared to have your world view shattered. Especially when it comes to how we view ourselves. You must be willing to acknowledge not just what you consider “good” about yourself, but also what you may consider “less than good”. This alone can take a long time to process and understand. Yet it’s absolutely necessary, when you start heading toward the concept of Ascension.
One book series, that discusses the concept of Ascension in detail is the Law Of One Series. I’m going to be honest, even though I have the series, I have watched more presentations on it than reading the books. Though I have read some. There is also a website dedicated to the series, that I will post at the end of this article. Like most texts on Ascension, the Law Of One indicates that it takes work to Ascend, even to just one level or “Density” above ours, which they call 3rd Density. With the challenge being, truly picking the path we want to progress down.
The challenges of Ascension are not just described in The Law Of One, but have been spoken about in many spiritual texts. As I already said, it takes a lot of work to Ascend, and most of the work is inner work. If you look at our “modern” society, we don’t typically sit down and work on inner work, we don’t even talk about our dreams with one another. We also tend to think, everything is external from ourselves, which has allowed a controlling elite to convince many people they are a victim of someone or something else. This thought process is counter productive to Ascension. After all , if you’re always a victim, then you will never take accountability for your thoughts and actions. Thus you won’t ascend, because you’ll never acknowledge how much power you truly have.
Despite the amount of inner work it takes to Ascend, I’ve noticed an alarming number of people producing content in recent years, and insinuating that everyone on the planet is going to Ascend. Often saying something like, “ Once this or that happens on the planet, everyone will Ascend”. Some of these individuals, were even at one time, actually indicating how much inner work is required. Often sharing their own journey, and yes, many of them have done a lot of inner work. So why would they chart changing their tune, and suggesting a whole planet of people will Ascend at once. Almost outright suggesting, it’s almost like a participation ribbon event.
Are these people now being misleading, or is there another disconnect? Personally, I don’t think most of them, are being misleading, instead their language probably needs to be refined in my opinion. David Wilcock is one such person, who has changed his message over the years. If you were following David ten plus years ago, compared to the last few years, he has altered his message to some degree. Which is Ok, because as people learn more, their opinions can change. However, I was a little taken taken back at first, when David started pushing the “Everyone is going to Ascend at once” narrative.
As he is someone who certainly understands the process of inner work, and the need to really do the hard work to prepare yourself for something like Ascension. I was actually perplexed for a little bit, because I could see a situation where a bunch of people, may begin to think that they didn’t have to do anything, and just wait to Ascend. Instead of doing the work necessary.
However, as I listened to him say it more, “Everyone is going to Ascend”. A thought came to mind, and that thought was… Everyone will experience the Ascension Event, but not everyone will end up exactly in the same location. For example, you may ascend to 4th density, or perhaps higher, or you may found yourself in another third density location. The locations will be based on the individual’s soul development. Thus, someone who has a bunch of inner wounds and hasn’t done anything to address them, may not be heading to the same location as someone who has resolved their issues, and made the decision on the path they want to take.
When it comes to David, I think he may have altered is message to promote a more inclusive environment. However, I think it’s important to still indicated how much inner work is required to Ascend. It’s not something you typically do, if think you don’t have to do anything to prepare for it. Sure there are always the exceptions, and there may be a number of people who naturally live their lives in a way that is Ascension compatible. But let’s be honest, in our modern western world, how many people do you know, who have absolutely no inner issues to work on? Most people can’t even have a political conversation with someone of the opposite view, without it turning into a shouting match. And if you can’t even do that, then I’m sorry, you still have some work to do in order to be prepared for Ascension. After all we are talking about expanding our consciousness, to the point were we can enter other planes, a feat which requires work.
