ASCENSION SUPPORT TEAM
DAVID AND
YVONNE BRITTAIN
We used to think we were
schizophrenic,
but we’re in TWO MINDS ABOUT IT NOW.
No one ever said that the path to
ascension would be
easy. If anyone had said it, they, no doubt by now, would have revised
their
ideas. Nothing really worth having is quick and easy. The path to
ascension
isn’t something you can do it is something that you learn to allow
yourself to
become. Above all you are required to learn patience, and in
particular,
patience with yourself. We mean the patience of the old farmer who, in
his own
timing, prepares the land, plants and nourishes the seeds, and then
simply waits.
Whilst he waits he gets on with his normal day to day life. Meanwhile,
in their
own timing, the seeds germinate and then grow into the desired plants.
In truth this is no different to
all of us seekers
upon the path. Some event or someone planted a seed in each of us and
then
moved away into our past. This may have happened today, or it might
have
happened twenty or fifty years ago. Whenever it happened it triggered a
process
in each of us. It was, and is, a process of growth of conscious,
spiritual
awareness. Gradually we became convinced that there is more to life
than we had
previously ever been allowed to suspect. We had always kept our noses
to the
grindstones to enable us to keep up with the Jones, or maybe we had
slavishly
followed the trends and fashions. Or whilst we struggled to simply make
ends
meet there was never time to think.
Then as the seed begins to
germinate, for a while we
seekers find that we are in two minds about what is and what is not
relevant to
our search. This particular stage of germination is often a time of
difficult
decision-making for the seeker. Many types of people feel drawn to the
spiritual path. For example, people who have achieved financial success
amid
the cut and thrust in the ruthlessly competitive world of business.
The seed begins to germinate in
these people and then
the success that the ambitious drive led to, now seem hollow and
pointless to
them. These people may genuinely long to become involved in spiritual
work of
some kind, and yet their greatest difficulty is in altering the way
that they
think.
Always their principal aim has been
to use money for
some activity to make yet more money because that is the whole point of
being
in business. On the same basis, the person in business won’t invest
time or
money into a project unless he or she is fairly confident of a
financial gain.
Unfortunately this mode of thought doesn’t fit when the seeker seeks to
work
for Spirit.
You cannot offer to work for Spirit
and then lay down
a series of conditions and rules. “Yes I will create this spiritual
centre,
provided that I get all of my money back, and a profit even if it
fails, also
provided that meanwhile my present affluent lifestyle remains
unchanged.” This
does not and cannot work. The seeker gives or does not give, there is
no in
between. You could ask Spirit to in some way supply the resources
needed to
achieve the spiritual work. Any other way is pretence.
From our own experience we assure
new seekers that
Spirit will never let you down. Always, just when needed, the resources
arrive,
and from the most unexpected avenues. In a similar way for the often
tongue-tied seeker, the words will always arrive just when you need
them, so as
well as learning patience with self, the seeker has to also learn to
trust self
enough to act despite self-doubts. We all have self-doubts no matter
how long
we have followed the path. The very ordinariness and isolation of the
average
seeker’s life generates self-doubt as an ongoing test of faith and
trust in
self. But these are just the ‘downers’ that soon evaporate when the
chance
comes to again successfully plant spiritual seeds into fertile soil. Of
course
it also helps to know that Spirit completely trusts you.
But why does isolation and
ordinariness enter the
seeker’s scene? Well these two are inherent to the seeker’s life on the
path,
and again will often leave the seeker to feel in two minds about being
upon the
path. First let’s consider isolation. Eagerly the seeker will seek and
gain
more and more knowledge and personal experience of Spirit. As time
passes, the
seeker begins to think in a wider, more comprehensive manner that
always
includes Spirit. In meditation and elsewhere the seeker will discover
deeper
layers of truth that underlie the more obvious and simple truths.
Knowledge of these deeper truths
alters the outlook of
the seeker. The outlook is altered because the seeker has been altered.
Unfortunately the people around the seeker haven’t been altered. Even
the
‘nearest and dearest’ of the seeker may feel that their affection for
the
seeker has become tinged with bafflement. True, that being around the
seeker
may have triggered something in the ‘nearest and dearest’. But on the
conscious
level the feeling of bafflement is undeniable. Then the seeker may feel
torn
between the spiritual path, and the comfort zone of those around the
seeker.
With no intention to be
patronizing, it is difficult
when this stage is reached to find anyone who speaks the same language,
or who
thinks in the same way as the seeker. We find this in conversation even
with
highly educated intelligent people who have yet to become seekers.
Often it is
difficult to find a mutually understood meeting point without retracing
our own
earlier thinking on our own paths, but we must all learn the patience
and
humility to be able to do this if we are to avoid creating the
negativity of a
‘them and us’ situation.
The fact that we have not
exaggerated this difficulty
will be obvious to most seekers. Especially if he or she recalls his or
her own
relief and delight when meeting up with other seekers who have a
similar level
of knowledge and experience to him or her self. Again, it is no
exaggeration to
say that such rare meetings are as akin to family reunions as are
actual
reunions with dearly beloved relatives.
Now we must look at the
ordinariness of the seeker’s
life. We have sometimes met seekers, who choose to bathe in an
enchanted,
mystical atmosphere every insignificant detail of their lives. No
conversation is
complete without coy references to Merlin, to dragons, to fairies to
magic
wands, or to Atlantis. Maybe this is their way to disguise the
ordinariness of
their lives, and of course it is their choice. No one, least of all the
authors
would deny that these mystical and legendary items might truly exist.
But to
take refuge in these items is to misunderstand the dual role of the
seeker, and
also to misunderstand the very down to earth ordinariness of the
seeker’s life.
The seeker’s role is to seek. The
seeker’s spiritual
work is as a teacher who, with discernment, passes on the fruits of the
search.
To achieve this the teacher must be both, flexible, and down to earth
enough to
be able to relate to the ordinary humdrum life of the student.
Obviously the student
may have difficulty in relating to the extraordinary fruits of the
seeker’s
search, this especially so if the seeker also seeks to appear to be
extraordinary. We have no idea of when we will ascend. If we are
truthful we
have no idea whether we are ready to ascend. Meanwhile, just like the
farmer,
we plod on, living our ordinary lives as best we may. The ascended
masters have
an advantage that we don’t yet enjoy. They are on a level where the
outcomes
are already known. We are not. It is now a decade at least since
information in
regard to the ascension process was channelled from the ascended
masters, via
Eric Klein. Neither, Eric or the ascended masters ever suggested that
the
information was new. They only suggested that for mankind the timing
then was
right. For all of that the information was logical and quite specific
in its
content.
For the benefit of new seekers it
might be helpful if
we refresh our knowledge of that information. If you have the taped
recordings
we suggest that you listen to them again. We suggest this because in
the decade
since the information was first channelled we have heard many
authoritative
variations of what individual ascension actually means. It could be no
surprise
if confusion reigns amongst newcomers to the ascension process path.
Any sensible, down to earth
newcomer could be forgiven
if he or she retired completely baffled from the new-age scene when
faced with
the, sincere, but often garbled, way in which ascension information is
now
offered. Obviously no genuine light worker wants this to happen, so
let’s all
now aim for some clarity, logic, and consistency to replace the current
confusion.
What does the fertile soil of the
new seeker need to
contain for germination of that seed to begin? What does the Ascension
process
seed consist of that we try to plant into the new seeker?
The Ascension process is a process
of continuous
evolvement. A new seeker’s fair question would be the continuous
evolvement of
what to what? The efforts of NASA so far have revealed that apparently
Planet
Earth is a lone island of vibrant, evolving life amid a Solar system of
planets
without life. Some of these other planets possibly did, or possibly one
day
could support physical life, as we know it. This is within the public
domain of
media-gained general knowledge.
Also within that domain is the
Hubble deep-space
telescope-proven knowledge that our physical universe isn’t permanent.
It is a
gigantic explosion amid which for now we all physically exist.
During the last decade a series of
science fiction
type films have, with worldwide release, all helped to shatter the
rigidity of
human mind barriers. These films have helped to open mankind’s
consciousness to
the pricelessly precious role of individualised, conscious, aware
intelligence.
Also to the possibility that there is no limitation set upon the
physical,
mental, and spiritual levels and powers achievable by individualised
intelligence, although maybe not in the way that we have phrased it
here.
Even in the comfort and security of
home these human
mind barriers have been relentlessly assailed. The flexible,
far-ranging
thoughts and ideas of those re-born special souls that we think of as
children,
have profoundly affected the thinking of their parents. Today’s
children,
teenagers, and young adults, all have a natural affinity with the
communication
possibilities of computers. The computer is simply a tool that may be
used for
good or evil purposes. But it cannot be coincidence that, via the
younger
generations of mankind, humans are learning first-hand to communicate
and
relate to each other all over the world.
Light workers who are also
net-workers would be
familiar with the point we are making. They already know how direct
communication between individuals who are separated by great distances;
shatters outdated nationally cherished stereotyped images of ‘those
foreigners’. It becomes more and more difficult to relate the
personally gained
impression of these people to the negative images of them that our
leaders via
the media offer to us. This same difficulty is now being faced and
deeply
thought about by many individual members of mankind, whatever his or
her
nationality, politics or religion.
The tight little circle of family
and trusted friends
is rapidly widening to include and to trust more and more new friends
who may
live anywhere in the world. As mind barriers are shattered fear
dissolves to be
replaced by healthy curiosity. This is the fertile soil that contains
most of
what is needed for the germination of spiritual seeds.
Technology and Science
fiction/fantasy have prepared,
and are preparing, the soil. But the spiritual seeds we light workers
offer to
new seekers must be based in logic and intelligent, clear thought. For
example
it is not enough for new seekers to be offered wise ascended masters
who exist
in non-physical dimensions. The new seeker only has his or her, own
physical
point of view to work from. He or she will demand to know how and why,
and from
where, did the masters ascend? Also how and from where did the masters
gain
their great wisdom and special powers? These are reasonable questions
to be
expected from folk taught from birth to believe they only have one all
too
short life in which to learn or to gain anything, everything before or
after
that brief life span is for many people a vague and woolly,
half-forgotten,
religious jumble. These people found it too confusing and so simply
accepted
and never questioned or analyzed it.
To sow the Ascension Process seeds
must include a
genuine effort from all of us light workers. First we must help new
seekers to
comprehend the logic and mechanism of reincarnation as an acceptable
alternative to the learning-time limitations of their present vague or
fixed
beliefs.
Coupled with the knowledge of the
temporary (classroom)
nature of the physical universe, this makes it easier to relate to
masters who
have ascended into non-physical dimensions. It also becomes easier to
relate to
the masters when the seeker realizes that he or she is on the same
physical/spiritual path that many of the masters had to follow before
being
able to ascend. Give the seeker the knowledge of an unlimited
succession of
physical lives already lived with intervals on the astral levels in
between. It
then becomes feasible that any genuine seeker could gain similar great
wisdom
and ascension to that of the ascended masters. Also, the reason why
ascended
masters are known as masters is because they have completely mastered
self.
With this knowledge it becomes easier for the seeker to understand why
he or
she must also learn to completely understand and master self.
Earlier we mentioned the channeling
received through
Eric Klein. We are forever on guard against our own wishful thinking. So whilst we listened to
the tapes we were
drawn not so much to who was being channeled, but more to the logical
content
of the channeled information. The information mentioned three waves of
ascension. But it was made very clear that ascension from the physical
is
achieved only on the individual readiness basis. The first of the three
waves
referred the many individuals who originally received, and began to
disseminate, the information, this whilst continually working upon
themselves.
The second wave refers to the many
more individuals who
received the information from the first wavers and then are doing the
same. The
third wave refers to the rest of mankind who received and could accept
the
information from the second wavers. But no time spans were specified
for the
ascension of anyone.
The information clearly stated that
ascension includes
the wearer’s current physical body. Not in its flesh and blood physical
form
but transformed into its basic pre-sub-atomic energy structure by the
power of
its wearer’s self-enhanced intelligence. Or if you prefer, matter
transformed
to energy, raised in power-level to that of the fifth dimension.
Elsewhere in
our books about the ascension process we have in detail explained the
logical
reasons why this is a necessary requirement for those who are to
ascend. In
this limited space we will simply explain that this basic energy
structure
would not be needed if we were intended to remain as dependent parts of
our
Creator’s Creation.
There is another stumbling block
that worries would-be
teachers of ascension. It concerns the involvement of fleets of
extremely
physical spacecraft in what many may feel should be a purely
religious-spiritual, mystical, non-physical experience. So now let’s
aim for
some clarity. There is nothing spiritual, religious or mystical about
the
ascension process, nor about those who have already ascended or those
who will
ascend. Ascension simply means the path to further evolvement of
individual
human intelligence. We have had to evolve to reach our present human (I
AM)
individual conscious awareness.
The physical universe is only
designed as a safe
physical classroom for life force that has yet to evolve to that
individual ‘I
am’ intelligence level. At that level it should have learnt its
lessons. It
should have learnt to live virtuously with harmony and balance, and not
to
exist as an individual ‘I am’ intelligence ruled by mind’s emotions and
fears.
Once these lessons are thoroughly learnt there is no reason to remain
trapped
in the physical. Unfortunately, as Mother Earth readies herself to
ascend, most
of mankind has yet to consciously choose to learn these lessons.
For many people physical is reality
and non-physical
is unreality instead of the reverse of this, and so many people will
have to
change the way that they think. They may sincerely believe in ascension
and
wish to ascend but only they can alter the way that they think. The
whole point
and purpose of our Creator’s Creation is this. It is all about the
evolvement
of individualized, completely independent, (I am) intelligent,
self-created
fellow creators. That we choose to name ‘The Spiritual Path’ is simply
the
obvious and basic common sense approach to our existence as individual
creators. Only after we have tried every other way does it then become
obvious,
hence the need for time to learn from our mistakes
No ascended human being will ever
again need a physical planet as a
base. What
happens to those countless people who want to ascend but are not yet
ready to
ascend? These people, in the physical, would continue to need food,
sleep, and
safe shelter whilst they continue to work upon their selves. Any planet
that
ascends completely leaves physical existence, so there would be no
physical
shelter to be found upon Earth. As is the case with other physical
races in the
physical universe, mankind should have been ready to ascend before or
simultaneously with its mother planet. Unfortunately for mankind it
isn’t ready
to ascend, but the ascended masters have planned for this contingency.
The
ascended masters exist on a level where the creation of thought
structures
becomes a way of life.
If we keep this fact in mind it
makes sense that they
have created, as thought structures, a fleet of huge space vehicles for
the
role of safe shelters for during and after Earth ascends. When needed,
these
thought structures would enter the astral vortex to then become
manifest in
their intended physical forms. Also, already created as a thought
structure, is
a temporary replacement planet. So this space fleet and this planet are
not science
fiction. These are intended to simply allow mankind the required time
needed to
ascend. All of this should be child’s play to the ascended masters. If
it is
not child’s play, we will be in ‘two minds’ about
striving to join them
on their level.
