ASCENSION
IS A PROCESS: NOT A CONCLUSION
- A Most Remarkable
Synchronicity Event -
By David and Michael

PART ONE: DAVID’S
INTRODUCTION
As this story has matured
to the point of going to press, world
situations have gotten so extreme that
it would seem negligent not to mention
them immediately. The sheer psychological
pressure of the events that are now unfolding
on the world stage is quite intense; there
is no solid way to pin down any grounded
viewpoint over what is heading our way
and how soon. Even those who most dearly
cling to our cherished institutions are
being forced to confront harsh realities
of corruption and mismanagement at the
highest of levels. Both church and state
have been rocked by unimaginably vast
scandals, and the situation in Israel
is literally unfolding on an hourly basis,
perfectly symbolic of the combined problems
of religious and government failures.
Indeed, it is a quite unique moment in
world history as we prepare to post this
captivating article featuring an account
of a full, visual, waking extraterrestrial
contact experienced by my brother, which
appears to have been directly triggered
by a prayer that I made without his conscious
awareness.
Most of our readers are
aware that the exact nature of these times
we now experience were written into many
different prophecies from cultures all
over the world. Not all of them gave an
exact date as to when we should expect
these changes, but they unilaterally state
that when such changes arrive, we can
know that a wondrous Golden Age for humanity
is very soon upon us. And thus, the more
at peace we can be with the changes, the
better we can trust that all the events
in our personal and global lives are transpiring
according to a Divine plan. This is the
promise that helps us to steer a path
through the amazing upheavals that we
are now witnessing and have the faith
and confidence that we will not be shaken
by them.
My own contribution to
this planetary awakening has been primarily
through the creation of written materials
that lay out the scientific and spiritual
framework for the ancient prophecies of
a Global Shift – and I know that
the majority of my readers are very interested
to know where I am in that timeline. The
first and second books of my scientific
trilogy (Shift of the Ages and Convergence
III) are already online and will only
undergo minor changes and additions for
their final versions, which will emerge
in a published form soon enough. The third
book, Divine Cosmos, is well on its way
towards being finished, and it has become
quite the powerhouse in its ability to
tie together everything I have discovered
into one clear, concise and unified model.
It has been taking me longer than I had
hoped or expected to complete these projects,
yet it does appear that the speed at which
I am able to finish them is indeed part
of the overall plan; there must be enough
time for the different pieces to come
together and be reasonably integrated.
My previous self-imposed deadlines for
completing these projects were naïve
to say the least.
Time is also important
in the process of spiritual growth; we
must have the time to have experiences
that drive us to explore, enhance and
unfold our deeper natures. There really
is no quick shortcut to enlightenment;
it is a continual process of coming to
know and understand ourselves by examining
our past experiences and then seeing how
they affect our thoughts and behaviors
in the now. We do this with the hopes
of changing our entrenched patterns and
becoming finer vessels for that light/love
energy of the One Creator that is within
each of us. As I look back over my life
I realize that part of what catapulted
me into my awareness at such a young age
was the degree of intense experiences
that I underwent, which were then analyzed,
accepted and understood over time, leading
to a greater self-integration. Without
the processing and distilling of these
experiences for the love and wisdom that
can be gleaned from them, we are doomed
to repeat them again and again and again.
I often indulged myself
by saying that these experiences involved
suffering, but more and more, as I evolve
with the nature of suffering I realize
that it too is an illusion, based on our
own desire to label our experiences as
“good” or “bad.”
One recent example was that this past
weekend, I took a trip with Hideo Izumoto
to Washington, DC to see the Cherry Blossom
Festival of Peace and then on to a location
in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.
I knew that I would be doing the driving
when I agreed to the trip; I did not realize
that it would ultimately entail more than
ten and a half hours of road time in a
single day. By the time we were closing
in on our final destination, my physical
body was experiencing extreme pain.
Had I known that the trip
would involve this much driving, I would
never have agreed to do it. Yet, once
we arrived at our destination, I proceeded
to have a conversation with the person
living there that catapulted me into whole
new vistas of awareness on many fronts.
This conversation also produced wonderful
fruit that could be immediately applied
to the quantum physics chapter that I
had been working on in Divine Cosmos just
the day before. The timing couldn’t
possibly have been better, and I was clearly
meant to have received the information,
yet I am still recovering from a sickness
that I picked up from the bodily stress
that the trip created. That sickness is
what led me to take the “easier”
route of finishing this article rather
than delving back into the demanding world
of science – and now, here we are.
So, the point for sharing
all of this now is to help enunciate a
view that has become more and more clear
to me as time goes on. The experiences
that we are most apt to label as “suffering”
are also most likely to have the greatest
effect on our spiritual progress. This
is the process of initiation, where we
learn to accept and understand our distortions
while also making a consistent effort
to enhance ourselves and work through
our experiences.
I have often been asked
how and why I would come to have such
abilities at a young age, and my basic
answer is that I was willing.
“Willing to
what?” people ask me.
My answer is that I was
willing to make whatever changes and sacrifices
I saw as being necessary in order to fulfill
the Divine will that was expressing itself
through me. Those changes were often very
difficult, including giving up all sorts
of addictive behaviors that had become
comfortable escape mechanisms.
We all know that it is
extremely easy to rationalize away addictive
behaviors and decide that no further action
needs to be taken. Yet, once I really
confronted what I was trying to escape
from, I would realize again and again
that I was simply suffering from the drama
of my apparent separation from God, and
that this feeling of abandonment was utterly
and totally an illusion. With the knowledge
of the physics now in place, it seems
almost irresponsible to forget that we
exist in a giant holographic illusion
created by the distorted light/love energy
pulsations of the Oneness. Every living
being on every one of the untold billions
of inhabited planets in the entire Universe
is ultimately still a reflection of our
One True Self.
The awareness is there
– and yet, life is definitely not
easy. Sometimes it seems that all we ever
do is move through process after process,
lesson after lesson, experience after
experience, burning off layer after layer
of our resistance to Divine Will, and
the challenge is for us to continue to
be diligent and persistent in analyzing,
accepting and understanding what we are
going through. Sooner or later, the sweetest
elixir can be formed from the distilled
core of our experiences, and its precious
drops ready to be shared with others.
This is a hard-earned victory over materialist
attitudes, philosophies and behaviors,
and thus spiritual growth processes are
anything but escape mechanisms; they are
indeed “the hardest things we will
ever do.” It’s a lot easier
to remain addicted than it is to find
out what caused the addiction and to then
allow the enslavement of that behavior
to fall away.
So, the amount of growth
that we experience is directly proportional
to how much of ourselves we are willing
to invest in the process; hence my frequent
quote, “You get out of your life
what you are willing to put into it.”
And again, there’s that word “willing.”
Ultimately, as we keep working these processes
with greater and greater diligence and
persistence, sudden peaks emerge in our
spiritual progress and a major shift is
attained. Those moments are transformative
and breathtaking, and I have been blessed
with many such events throughout the course
of my life as I continue to apply myself
to the process of Divine initiation. The
severe psychological stresses that our
current events can produce have given
us an increasingly potent batch of raw
materials upon which to catalyze our understandings
and experience such transformational shifts.
Indeed, certain amazing
stories form the true jewels of my repertoire
in talking about my relationship with
beings of higher intelligence, showing
where the greatest peaks occurred in amongst
my continual processing of the intense
experiences of life. These stories are
often repeated for their impact and value,
since they were very real events that
happened in my life and were sudden steps
in my process of awakening – they
were the brightest lights amongst the
ongoing efforts that I was making to clear
out the muck in my lower centers of consciousness,
which are much less dramatic and attractive
to talk about. Probably the top three
events, prior to now, would be as follows:
- Floating out of
my body at age five, feeling that I
was being taken somewhere and observed
by beings of higher intelligence, and
knowing deeply that it was not a dream.
- Performing an
automatic-writing session with my friend
Jude to ask the question of “Am
I an ET soul?” wherein my hand
literally took on a mind of its own,
scrawling out a series of letters that
ended up having multiple layers of significance.
Most importantly, it gave a Bible quote
that was arguably the most precisely
relevant passage in the entire book
for what I had just gone through, having
just lost a job. The exact start and
end points of the passage, Ecc 2:22-3:13,
framed the whole picture so beautifully
that there was absolutely no doubt as
to what had occurred.
- About two months
later, praying again for an answer regarding
whether my soul was of ET origin, and
having the prayer answered the next
morning in my housemate Eric’s
dream, where a robed, bearded man came
down on a platform, spoke of Earth Changes
and Ascension and then recognized and
interacted with me, finally announcing
to Eric, “It is very important
that you know that he is one of us.”
Eric did not know I had prayed the night
before.
The key here is that most
of these events were in the past, before
I ever started the work of doing deep-trance
psychic readings and having direct telepathic
contact with such forces. Since that time,
I have had hundreds and hundreds of future
prophecies come true, incredible dreams
with Ascended abilities quite regularly,
shocking experiences with synchronicity,
controllable out of body experiences,
small-scale “threshold” telekinesis
events around me on a relatively consistent
basis and a precise ability to see into
others’ thoughts, especially on
spiritual and emotional issues. Recently
I held my right hand about eight inches
away from a person’s injury site
on their body, with intent to try to do
healing, and they said that they felt
as much heat from it as they would from
a small “space heater” machine.
So, as time progresses further and such
experiences become more and more common,
you naturally get to a point where you
are no longer so shocked and impressed
by them, and they eventually become “business
as usual.” However, even for as
far as I have gone, there are still certain
mystical experiences that I have secretly
longed for, related to the direct, visual
sighting of energies and / or objects
that are unambiguous manifestations of
extraterrestrial intelligence. Let’s
say that it stems from the eternal skeptic
within me that has a desire for “proof,”
as if I didn’t already have enough.
So, while staying away
from home with some friends in a remote
area, one of those wishes was answered,
as I had what appeared to be a UFO sighting;
the first in my adult life. Each day I
had walked to the same spot to meditate
in the forest, which looked out over a
glorious rolling hay field. This particular
day, I spotted a wingless metallic object
that was very tiny; it was too tiny to
make out exactly what it was, though the
overall shape was that of a disc. Being
in a deep meditative trance at the time,
I simply observed it as it went behind
a cloud. I could tell how fast the object
was going and in what direction, and when
the cloud eventually moved away I thought
I had a fair idea of where the object
would need to have been, if it was an
airplane. To my surprise, there was no
object to be seen anywhere in the sky;
it appeared to have completely vanished.
So there it was!
“Oh well,”
I said. “I guess that was the big
UFO sighting that I’ve been waiting
so long for.”
I was curiously dispassionate
about the whole thing, as it was just
an affirmation of what had become completely
obvious; I really did not need any “proof”
at this point. I thought about it a moment
longer, as I had just crossed the biggest
item on my “Wanted Miracle”
list off, and then had another thought
regarding what immediately came up as
the second biggest item on my list:
“Yes –
now all I need is to have a ball of light
visit me in my room in the middle of the
night. Then I can clear out all of these
basic wishes that emerged from my desire
to be One with God.”
I had read about such luminous
apparitions for a long time – they
played a major role in the lives of both
Jane Roberts, the channel for the Seth
entity, and Carla Rueckert, the channel
for the Ra entity. Ra said that these
luminous spheres of light are actually
the forms of high-level sixth-density
beings becoming visible for us in the
third density plane. I have always felt
that such an experience would be intensely
personal, intensely spiritual and utterly
transformational. However, in another
sense you could say that once something
like that had happened, it would just
be another item to add to the “weird
list” when I describe my experiences
to the general public. While I am in between
sleeping and waking I have often had experiences
of apparitions in the room of various
sorts, even of my body being touched.
Temporarily, I still exist in the higher
states of consciousness as my eyes open,
and I have experienced various manifestations
in this state, including telekinesis.
Still, to just be relaxing in the dark,
fully awake, and be visited by such an
entity would be quite something –
and hence it occupied a high place on
my wish list. Little did I know that the
wish would be granted – and in a
most remarkable way.
The next day after my UFO
sighting, I “just happened”
to call my father at the same time that
my brother had called him, and the standard
“Guess who’s on the other
end of the phone” line came through,
as once again I had hit that critical
window with psychic precision –
the third or fourth time in the last six
months – and I only call my father
about once a week. He clicked over and
it was Michael, as I already knew; “It’s
your brother.” Things seemed quite
ordinary and I finally said, “Dad,
you DO realize that this is about the
fourth time that I’ve called you
at the exact same time that you were talking
to Michael.”
“Yep, you’re
right about that, David. I hadn’t
really thought about it, but I’ll
definitely have to count that one,”
Dad responded, his skepticism melting
a little more with each documented “hit.”
Bracing for my father’s
inevitable dosages of skeptical sarcasm,
I then went into my story about the UFO
sighting, but nothing could have prepared
me for what Michael was about to tell
me. The very night before I had this experience,
my first adult UFO sighting, Michael had
indeed experienced my own wish –
a conscious ball of light visited him
in his room in the middle of the night!
Somehow, it appeared that Ra, the group
from which my own Higher Self originates,
had heard my wish in the field that day,
and had traveled backward in time to visit
my brother about 16 hours earlier. This
was similar to the time when I did a dream-reading
for a client and they had a luminous apparition
of Ra come into their room that same night
and say, “Remember the giant cathedral,”
which they wrote down in a notebook, only
to find out the next day that my dream
for them had involved being trapped in
a giant cathedral.
It then started to dawn
on me that it made a lot more sense for
my not-so-secret wish to be granted to
another person close to me, as this would
mean a lot more than if it had simply
happened to me personally, since we now
have an independent witness! While on
the phone with our father, Michael started
describing his experience before I told
him about my own prayer to see a ball
of light in my room. (We purposefully
avoided going into detail about it until
a later conversation that was just between
the two of us, as it could easily have
gotten too intense for Dad to handle otherwise.)
Michael has never written anything for
the website before, totally shunning any
opportunities to be spotlighted in any
way, nor have I gone into any great detail
about him in my own writings online. I
had to really work on him to get him to
write about this experience at all, but
he finally did, and now we can all enjoy
the experience through his eyes.
I can assure you that Michael
is a real person different from myself,
as he has his own website, www.michaelwilcock.com,
his own two-piece musical group known
as the Kiss-Ups and a wealth of highly
advanced and stunning artwork in his portfolio
in many different forms of media. And
I know that he is telling the truth. There
is no way in the world that I could have
gotten him to put his name on something
like this if he didn’t believe it
was the real thing; he has often been
doubtful about the nature of my work and
only recently has become willing to let
me use his picture for a comparison shot
between him and Dr. Wesley Harrington
Ketchum, Cayce’s original business
partner. Thus, his experience was just
as physically real as the metallic object
that I saw in the sky the very next day,
and as I said, even if he wanted to make
up a story, he started telling me about
this experience before I ever told him
about my own prayer for such an event
to occur. So all possibilities of deception
have been ruled out for my own discernment,
and I publish this with a clear conscience
that it is entirely truthful.
What makes this event even
more remarkable is that Michael did not
just have a sighting of a ball of light;
he received a crucial message at the end
of his experience as well, even though
he is not a “channeler” or
deep-trance psychic in any way. This message
was obviously intended to instill a major
“policy shift” in how I /
we think and write about Ascension; it
encourages us to see it as a step-by-step
process that we undergo each day and not
simply the mega-conclusion in our near
future that represents the “finish
line,” if you will. I came to realize
that many of the mystical experiences
that have occurred in my life, such as
those I have often written and talked
about above, are all Ascension experiences
– and that now many others will
be experiencing them as well. In that
sense I am glad to be a front-runner for
this process of transformation.
Other channels had spoken
about this Ascension process, but I was
never truly clear about what it meant
or how it was supposed to be interpreted
until now. Perhaps it was a distortion
of my own to be so heavily invested in
a future event instead of the all-encompassing
majesty of the present moment, should
we but reach forward and grasp it in the
Now. As the world events continue to change
more and more rapidly, we have a greater
and greater opportunity to experience
“Ascension” in our own lives.
The final moment of quantum transformation
is definitely not “canceled”
or subsumed by the greater paradigm of
“incremental ascension,” but
rather we can stop pining away for a future
event and instead become more aware of
the majestic, awesome experiences that
can come our way if we keep working diligently
on our paths in the here and now. And
with that, let’s proceed, with Michael’s
writing given in 12-point Arial font for
context, followed by more of my own comments:
PART TWO: MICHAEL’S
EXPERIENCE WITH THE BALL OF LIGHT
Many nights, after the
day's hectic events all I want to do is
plunk my head down on the pillow and escape
to the oblivion of dreams and the engulfing
fluff of my down comforter. But other
nights I carve out the time for personal
spiritual practice. Over time I've developed
a nighttime ritual. It usually starts
with slow meditative stretches and yoga
techniques and segues into sitting meditation
and prayer. I pray to a higher power that
I choose to call God, Goddess, Great Spirit,
Universe, basically whatever feels right.
I've studied Buddhist literature, practiced
a type of Buddhist meditation and regularly
visit the Shambala center up the road
from me, but do not consider myself Buddhist.
I've gone to many different Christian
churches, respect the teachings of Christ
and believe in his existence, but do not
consider myself Christian. I've watched
TV, done drugs, drank alcohol, and smoked
cigarettes in the past but I choose no
longer to engage in these things and haven't
for a number of years. I suppose I'm an
unclassifiable spiritual person who strives
to bring light to the world through the
vehicle of my existence. I work toward
loving myself and everyone else in this
world, which from time to time and circumstance
to circumstance can be difficult. On top
of all of that, my brother has become
a world-renowned psychic and scientific/spiritual
writer. You're reading this because he
asked me to share a recent experience
with you.
I live a relatively simple
life. I like to walk in the woods, play
music, make art and hang out with friends.
Of course it's not always that simple;
I have to make money. So I paint houses
and work on promoting my band and my freelance
illustration career. I've certainly been
blessed. I am with a woman that I adore
and have a beautiful relationship with.
I have a neat little apartment in the
woods with low rent and a nice landlord.
I live simply and keep my expenses down.
I don’t know where this world is
headed or what the greater picture is.
It seems that we are in a time of exponentially
quickening change. I continue to stay
with positive energies and try to uplift
myself and those around me.
Recently, I made the decision
to invite the presence of unknown energies,
positive forces and magic into my life.
I feel a hunger to commune with higher
energy forces and allow the universe to
unveil itself to me. I want to be a part
of spontaneous magical happenings, I want
to see the world change and become more
loving. As many of us have come to realize,
there is so much here that is greater
than our immediate physical reality. I
want to know higher energies completely
and truly be one with the energy that
moves through all things. In the past
when my brother has told me about his
concept of ascension, my response has
been, "Bring it on, I can't wait!"
But there also resides the pessimist inside
that says, "Our world is going down
the toilet and I don't think anything
like this is possible." I’m
finding, though, that the more time goes
on, the more magical things are starting
to happen. I find other people are talking
about the same concepts of great shifts
and transformation.
So with that short bit
of information about me, I’ll tell
you the story that David has asked me
to share: It was a night that I had taken
the time out to do my evening spiritual
practice, my girlfriend Jacinta had turned
in early and I stayed up to stretch and
meditate. Jacinta fell asleep quickly
and the only lights I had on were the
white Christmas tree lights strung up
under my loft. I had done all the stretches
that I typically do and was particularly
relaxed, taking nice deep breaths and
really feeling centered and at peace.
I took the half lotus pose on a stack
of two big pillows and settled into silent
meditation with my palms resting on my
knees. My eyes were open slightly and
focused about six feet ahead of me on
the ground. I was concentrating only on
my out breaths and trying to realize if
I started to think too much or go into
tangents. Everything became very clear
and I reached the point in meditation
that I don’t always achieve, where
everything becomes blissful. My gaze was
focused toward the lit portion of the
room under my loft bed, but at this point
my head gradually tipped back and instead
of trying to stop it, I just let it ease
back and looked up into the darkness on
the ceiling. By this point I had been
meditating for over 10 minutes and stretching
slowly and quietly before that for at
least a half hour.
I was looking up and I
started to think that my eyes were playing
tricks on me. I became aware of a very
subtle glowing light on the ceiling, but
the only lights on were the white Christmas
lights under the loft – and this
seemed to look almost as though it were
projected on the ceiling. It was very
faint and soft at first, and barely perceivable.
It had a subtle wavering movement to it,
like a wave radiating slightly out from
the middle. I was sure that this was just
a visual trick my eyes were playing, and
that the light would soon dissipate, but
I kept looking at it, just trying to understand
it. There was a GLOWING LIGHT hovering
above me!!! I was completely straight
– I haven‘t even touched a
drug or drink in five years. I felt the
need to try to perk up and break the blissful
silence of my meditation to take a closer
look, but a feeling deep inside me said,
“No, just continue looking and don’t
make any abrupt movements.” So I
followed this impulse and remained still,
just silently observing this now growing
presence.
It was glowing luminosity,
generally light blue in color and the
more I watched it, the more it’s
size and movement increased. It expanded
out to be about six or seven feet wide
and looked somewhat like it had been projected
upon the ceiling, yet it gave the illusion
of some depth moving upward as though
it were an opening up into the sky. It
was brimming over with energy and life
and gave me a feeling of incredible grace
to watch it. There was no logical explanation
for how this was happening; the longer
I watched the light, the more enchanted
I became. This was real life before my
eyes – this was not a dream. I had
invited magical energy into my life and
this was magic; this was a loving, amazing
energy that I was somehow blessed enough
to be able to see.
The energy field pulsed
in wavelike motions, just hovering and
glowing. It was an absolutely beautiful
sight. The more I sat, the more I was
just filled with a feeling of love and
light and peace. It was expansive yet
precise, and the middle was a very light
whitish blue and it had blended outward
into a darker sky blue. It just pulsed
and moved gently, a completely calming
presence. My mind began to wander for
a moment and I wondered how long this
would go on for. Up to this point, I had
thought that if this type of thing ever
did happen, it would only stand revealed
for a split moment of time, just enough
to be recognized and then disappear. But
this was totally going against that idea.
This loving light hovered, revealed long
enough for me to almost get used to it
being there! I truly grasped that its
presence was real and I was amazed that
it was here with me. After about 5 to
10 minutes the light started to change
color. The edges that had been blended
out to dark blue slowly shifted to the
same light blue color in the middle. Then
the whole field, now all one tone, shifted
lighter and lighter, slowly and gradually
until it was almost white. I had the feeling
that the experience was almost finished,
and part of my heart grew heavy in the
fear of becoming disconnected from this
light entity.
So, I decided that before
this experience was over I would try to
share some of this energy with my partner
who was sleeping up in the loft, in the
hopes that she could benefit from this
visitation. As the thought was formulating
in my head, the light was already beginning
to expand out toward the area of the ceiling
above where she was sleeping. It now had
formed a kidney shape encompassing the
original area of illumination and a bulge
moving out over my partner, Jacinta. The
color at this point shifted through pure
white and into orange. It reached out
to cover the area over Jacinta completely
and then shifted to an orange with a very
light brownish tint. It stayed in this
state for about a minute or less and then
began to fade away. It took about 15 seconds
for it to fade from full luminosity to
total dispersion, and when it had finished
I no longer felt a feeling of longing
for it to still be there. Everything felt
divinely choreographed and in tune. The
feeling of honor and gratefulness I had
for being blessed with this experience
was unparalleled.
I stayed in meditation
pose, somewhat reeling from the experience
and just trying to let it all soak in.
This had been a truly monumental occurrence,
and I didn't want to just dispel it and
briskly move on; I wanted to honor it
and feel the power of it. As I sat, a
voice or idea came into my head and it
used some of the language that David uses.
It was a soft and intuitive voice that
seemed almost like my own, coming from
a place of great wisdom. It said that
this had been an important experience
in my "ascension" and that this
was going to be a gentle process that
would happen in stages.
[DW: When Michael first
told me this story, he boiled some of
the message down to this quote: “The
Ascension that your brother writes about
is not going to happen all at once. It
is a gentle process, creating feelings
just like those you have now experienced,
and it will occur in incremental stages.
This is your first major step in this
process.”]
Up to this point I had
felt as though a spontaneous shift into
nirvana would be great, but I wasn’t
going to hold my breath waiting around
for it. This message was intent on telling
me that the concept of ascension is real,
but that it will manifest itself very
differently than what I was envisioning.
The message said that ascension is an
incremental process that happens in stages.
Seeing this energy for myself eradicated
many of my doubts about unexplainable
spiritual dimensions and energies, and
solidified the foundation for the belief
in a power greater than myself.
Up until this point, this
type of divine energy had only seemed
to exist in my imagination and in subtle
synchronicities and psychic occurrences
– not an orb of light HOVERING OVER
ME!!! It became clear that this message
was a very personal one; this was the
first step in my ascension. It seems that
ascension is something completely unique
to each individual. The discovery of divinity
and the movement toward that energy is
a completely individualized experience.
This was a part of what I was told. These
ascension experiences will be very moving
and pertinent to the one who is experiencing
them and will probably vary greatly from
person to person. The idea of an ascension
in stages was a totally new concept for
me. I had always pictured David's ascension
model as something that would happen in
one fell swoop, a "spontaneous evolution"
as he says – but this new understanding
showed me that the experiences could be
individualized, and occur over a period
of time.
I have no idea where we
are heading, but I can only dream of great
things and lives filled with purpose and
connection to one and other. I hope to
see our world move toward a place where
people can totally be themselves and be
cradled in love by the community around
them. I look forward to a place where
we will all have confidence that there
is a universal energy moving through us
that connects us and gives our lives meaning.
I also look forward to shifting away from
ownership and materialism and moving toward
community and compassion for our delicate
environment.
I am certainly much less
prone to doubt that these things are possible.
I feel as though I must keep faith, because
I’ve been shone this energy that
is so much greater than what I am typically
able to perceive. I hunger for this energy.
I hunger for the connection to it. I feel
that the ascension toward higher consciousness
and toward universal love is happening,
but we must seek to find it and we must
stay very open minded. Closing out other
people and beliefs and judging them can
be so hurtful. There is probably no possible
way that any of us will be able to forecast
what we are moving into. I've never felt
that I could ever truly see the outcome
of something before it happened and it
seems we have only begun to scratch the
surface on what we are moving into. Maybe
the ascension transpires completely within
our spirits and maybe the whole world
is going to change. I do know that I was
visited by magic and love and that good
things are to come in spite of all the
chaos we see now in the world. I have
faith and trust that humanity will evolve.
PART THREE: CONCLUSION
As the older brother who
was always expected to provide an example,
I am proud of Michael’s writing
efforts and of his willingness to share
this experience with the world. He has
already experienced a second “ascension”
experience of a different sort, and I
have asked that he share this in a separate
future article if he so desires.
One aspect of this story
that he didn’t really cover in the
article was that Jacinta had been experiencing
some difficulty in getting to sleep, and
after that night with the light surrounding
her, she was sleeping perfectly. That
is just another added layer of validation
to the whole picture of what transpired
that night in the second week of February.
Right now as I write this,
I know that Michael’s birthday is
coming up on April 7, and that I don’t
have the financial resources at present
to send him anything as a gift in the
mail. Yet, if I somehow donated my own
energy in any way to bringing him this
experience, or even if it was simply the
intent of my prayer that engaged universal
energy in moving out to him completely
on its own, I am very grateful to have
given him this birth-day gift. It is truly
the birth of the awakening Christ self
within each of us, our own personal connection
to the Divine, and that makes the timing
of this article all the more suitable.
If we think about the distressing
events unfolding on the world stage in
lieu of this experience, we begin to understand
more fully the power of prayer. Certain
Edgar Cayce readings implied that only
a small number of people who were dedicated
in prayer could dramatically decrease
the severity of problems such as famines,
Earth Changes and wars. So, the question
becomes, if my own prayer was somehow
able to step outside of time and space
and create such a magnificent event for
my beloved brother, then what can each
of us do for our beloved Mother, the Earth?
As we continue to shift our wishes more
and more towards what we can do for others,
then we will experience more and more
positive experience within our own lives,
as we really come to know that all is
One. Each of us can gain a greater appreciation
for the power that we possess when we
forgive ourselves, accept ourselves and
direct our will to positive creative action,
such as through world-service prayer and
meditation. It is a glorious future that
lies ahead of us, and we have a direct
stake in how soon it will come, and how
the transition will occur. And along the
way, we just might have some incredible
surprises appear before our very eyes.
Happy Birthday, Michael.
