The Unveiling: Our Ascension

July 30, 2014 by Kristy Robinett

Continued from Page 1

The Fall

As children, the veil is parted. Many children see and understand. They talk about heaven, God, and speak with loved ones that they've never met on earth, yet know their names and physicality. Whether it is the adults in their lives discounting the claims, hormones, and/or the busyness of life, the fall seems to happen around ten years of age, and the veil is put in place unceremoniously, conforming to what is considered normal. It's often as they grow into adulthood that a person wonders when they lost their identity and ponders how to retrieve it, when really all they have to do remove the veil and see again. As the awareness is more accessible now, the climb is easier, but only if the steps are taken.

The Climb: Seven Steps

If you've ever traveled to a higher elevation, you know that your body, mind, and spirit go through a change. The same is true for those who decide to make the climb into the light.

First level: The Physical. The body goes through physical symptoms: flu-like symptoms, headaches, digestive, rashes, muscle and joint aches.

Second level: The Emotional/Mental. As the light enters and attempts to release karmic contracts and experiences, the wondering begins: a contemplation of life and soul purpose. Depression and exhaustion is often felt at this level.

Third level: Strength. As you continue to climb, you feel muscular pains and exhaustion. Meditation, yoga, and other exercises that require the practice of breathing help so that you don't 'fall' or give up.

Fourth level: Heart Chakra. As the heart chakra begins to open, chest pains and headaches are common. It is at this step that the flashes of insight present from telepathy, vivid dreams, clairvoyance, and empathy.

Fifth level: Life Evaluation. Old friends depart, new friends emerge, and everything around us begins to feel in flux, including career, relationships, extracurricular activities, etc. Dreams continue to be lucid and flashes of insight are stronger.

Sixth level: Clearing. The emotional baggage from the past begins to drop off, and old destructive patterns are replaced with healthier ones.

Seventh level: Expression. The ability to express who you are and what you want becomes more centered to your core.

Many physical symptoms are felt throughout the entire process (please see a physician to rule out true medical conditions). Those that take the climb may feel crazy at first, or not understand what is happening. Many give up and give in, much like those that start an exercise or diet regiment. So what is at the top of the climb? You.

Through the Ascension, you don't give up on your religious beliefs; you become more attuned to them. You don't give up on your family or friends, or ethics or anything that feels comfortable, but as you climb and go through the unveiling, your senses, the love and the very being of you becomes whole. Much like that best friend from years ago that you don't talk to often, but when you do talk it's like you've never been apart, the climb can merge your healthy past to a healthier present and future.

We all have free will and free choice. We all have a vibration and the ability to take the time and energy on the Ascension. The stairway is right there. You don't have to make the climb, but the unveiling is happening whether you do or do not. Some will find it in this lifetime, and others through death, just like Aunt Gail.
