Ascension is a permanent state of universal love and bliss.
Audio Player
(Concluded from Part 1, yesterday.)
I said earlier that I’d continue our discussion of why so many spiritual experiences are impermanent.
Let me start by referring back to my heart opening.
That experience on March 13, 2015, began with a tremendous explosion as if debris that had been blocking my heart door or hridayam had been expelled.
It took that level of explosion to win me temporary access to my heart. It opened on March 13 and more or less narrowed if not closed by mid-January 2016.
I assume that Ascension, which I’ve confirmed with the Mother is equivalent to what Hindus call sahaja nirvikalpa samadhi, (1) is an even bigger explosion – or it can be, implosion, as the Mother notes.
Divine Mother: Now increasingly, as you have heard of here and there, you are knowing and being given examples of those who are experiencing what we would call instantaneous transmission in so far as their heart opening is like an implosion/explosion.
And if you speak to these individuals, there’s nothing gradual about it. It is the immediate knowing not only of love, not only of individual essence, but of [divine?] essence. (2)
I speculate that the explosion/implosion of a fourth-chakra heart opening is not powerful enough to open the heart door (or hridayam) permanently. But it is a preview nonetheless.
Michael comments on the impermanence of a fourth-chakra experience:
Archangel Michael: You are in a time of individual and collective Ascension that has never occurred upon your planet or elsewhere. So many of the historic and accurate understandings with regard to heart openings have shifted, can we say, expanded.
You have had a heart opening. Think of it this way, as a heart opening that is not 1000% and it is like a rubber stopper that opens, closes, opens, closes. So it is partially open.
So, it is a permanent heart opening because you are most certainly not only in the truth and the love of your own being, but in THE love of the Mother, far more than you have ever been. That is permanent and irreversible. But it is not 1000%. (3)
Michael says these experiences are not strong enough to carry us to Ascension but each of them carries us up a notch:
Archangel Michael: You have experienced, progressively, periods of unity, of transformative love, of ecstasy, of bliss that you feel (and I emphasize, feel) come and go.
But every time, you have had this experience it has edged you up a level. So that now you say to me, “Michael, I feel like I have a new baseline. I have a new foundation of happiness.”
But you also have a new foundation of knowingness, of understanding, of wisdom, of humility, of tolerance, of kindness. This has all been bringing you to an expanded sense of self and an expanded sense of not only how we operate but how the collective operates. (4)
But we come to the primary question: Why so many spiritual experiences without reaching the permanence of Ascension. And Michael gives us the answer:
Archangel Michael: What you have seen is that you have been given bite-sized pieces of energy, of energy bumps, of input of what you can digest and handle and truly bring to fruition. If you are in the process of expansion, you don’t go from Grade 3 to a PhD in a week. (5)
I’ve discussed elsewhere the process of moderating our experiences as lightworkers so we don’t leave the work and return home. (6)
Michael asks us, would it not be enough to tantalize us to consider that the higher realm we’re going to is one of universal love and bliss? Let me close with his tantalizing vision of what awaits us:
Steve: The new realm of existence is characterized by universal love and bliss?
Archangel Michael: Yes.
Steve: Alright, so that is what we should be looking for?
AAM: Yes, and it is what is knocking on your door and [what] you are letting in. You have been doing this so it is transcending into a more permanent state of that realm of existence. … I think this would entice you adequately, would it not?
Steve: Oh, that state would be the answer to all my dreams, all my requests, I’m sure, Lord!
AAM: It would be the answer to many dreams and you will help many to see it, to discover it, to shift into that realm.
It is not about the separation of humankind when [one is] stuck in the old and the other in a new realm. It is simply opening the floodgates. (7)
That’s what we’re doing with all our temporary spiritual experiences: Opening the floodgates to receive and transform, one day, permanently; ascending gradually one bite-sized package at a time.
And the state of being we’ll be in then will be a permanent one of universal love and bliss.

(1) Steve Beckow: I’m trying to understand what level of enlightenment Ascension corresponds to and I think it’s beyond the normal seventh-chakra enlightenment. I think it is what is called — and I’ll make this clear to readers — sahaja samadhi. Am I correct?
Divine Mother: Yes, it is beyond what you think of [as being] with your seven chakras. … We have emerged from the Third-Dimensional realm, which is that reference point for the [seven] chakra system, into the new. So yes, you are correct, in this question and in this statement. (“The Divine Mother: Come to Me as I Come to You – Part 1/2,” Oct. 17, 2012, at http://goldenageofgaia.com/2012/10/17/the-divine-mother-come-to-me-as-i-come-to-you-part-12/.)

Steve: Mother, you use the word “exploding.” … The heart opening that I had in March 2015, was explosive. And so…
DM: It is explosive. It is implosive. (“The Mother Promises a Massive Heart Opening – Part 2/2,” at http://goldenageofgaia.com/?p=289519.)
Archangel Gabrielle also refers to it:
“You have heard me, child, talk time and time and time again about the implosion/explosion [of Ascension], and that is happening at a catalytic rate constantly, right now. (Archangel Gabrielle: Cooperation Comes Before Love,” April 2, 2017, at http://goldenageofgaia.com/2017/04/02/archangel-gabrielle-cooperation-comes-before-love/.)
And here is Sanat Kumara, our Universal Logos:
“Stillpoint is the place of nothingness and it is also the place where union and fission take place, what Einstein calls that implosion/explosion takes place.” (Linda Dillon in Heavenly Blessings with Sanat Kumara, April 26, 2012.)
I believe the implosion is the collapse of our personality structures that the heart opening challenges. One example: The belief that we get love mostly from others rather than mostly from our own heart.

| The longing persists after the experience has vanished |
Maybe 99.99% of the experiences we have (more or less) don’t result in a change of dimension; what we’re calling Ascension.
You’ve watched me over the years, going in and out of other dimensions. In 2015, I stayed, off and on, in the Seventh Dimension of love, as Michael identified it. (1) That then became the Eighth or Ninth Dimension of Bliss for another few months, from Sept. 28, 2015 to mid-January 2016.
And even after that extended a time, I returned and I’m the same old knock-kneed critter I was before I left. I even have many of the same core issues (or vasanas). (2)
Before turning to how 99.99% of our spiritual experiences are not permanent and don’t result in a permanent change of dimension, I need to explain why, over the past any number of years, I’ve been having so many spiritual experiences myself. (3)
Is this normal? I think it probably is not. Let me explain.
I only started recording them when I opened this blog. I’d had 23 peak experiences by the time the vision occurred in 1987. (I even gave them names – the Silver Bullet, the Flame in the Heart, Porteau Cove, etc.). Why so many?
The answer, I discovered, had to do with an agreement I have with a Being I serve.
You know that I serve Michael and the Mother but you probably don’t know that I also serve the Lord of the planet I’m currently residing on: the Lord Arcturus.
I have an agreement with him – numerous others around the globe have the same agreement – to allow him to see the Ascension, because it’s that important an event, through my eyes.
Other than that, I’m to dismiss him from my consciousness and carry on. I sell the popcorn; I don’t watch the game.
However, he has asked me to visit the various higher dimensions so I could keep people focused on the journey, rather than stopping in the Seventh or even the Ninth.
I’m going to share his request with you and I do so as one spiritual adult to another. Another of my missions is to go up with everyone else and to do so publicly. So here goes:
Lord Arcturus: Now, you have come to a planet in this and in other lifetimes to assist – yes, through communication, through clarity – with the progression of the planet through the elimination of the old Third, which was really quite disastrous, [to] the progression up through the Fifth, through the Six, to the Seventh so that the planetary system will reside in a level of higher consciousness, Christed consciousness as you think of it. (4)
Now in order to do that, it is highly beneficial – and this is where mutuality (5) comes in – that you would have, not only the intelligence but the perspective of the higher dimensions (it is not a hierarchy but it is different).
And so the perspective say of the Ninth Dimension is very different than the perspective of say the Third, the Fifth, or the Seventh Dimension.
Because it is very important that humanity realize, as they are in their unfoldment to a greater plan, that the Seventh Dimension is not the end of the road, not the be all and end all.
And so, some of the perspective, the experience, the knowing, the intelligence of different dimensionality is highly beneficial in helping them move into that higher-dimensional anchoring.
And so in this, we have contributed, not as a clone but as a contribution, shall we say, from my heart, from my soul, from my being to yours, this piece of myself. Now is that … clear? (6)
His gift to me is a library of Arcturian knowledge which will holographically release after Ascension.
When I look at all the travelling I’ve done, when I heard this from him it made things understandable.
I take what he says as a mission statement and think I have been reporting my consciousness states and their consequences fairly well and faithfully. (7)
So this is the reason I have, in the past, had a rather large number of experiences of other dimensions. But, as I started out to say, none of them have lasted.
Let me close here and discuss their impermanence in the next article.
(Continued in Part 2.)

(1) Steve: The space that I call transformative love, what dimension is it?
Archangel Michael: It is the Seventh Dimension.
Steve: Then what dimension is bliss?
AAM: It is between Eight and Nine. (Archangel Michael in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, Jan. 20, 2016.) (Hereafter AAM.)
Archangel Michael: You are the communicator. … You love to access and spend time in the Eighth and Ninth, the areas of creation and connection. (AAM, Feb. 18, 2011.)

(5) Mutuality. The Lord Arcturus equipped me for the ride by helping design my life plan and soul contract:
Lord Arcturus: What I have contributed to your design – it was a very good design team – is qualities or aspects, understandings – not only that would serve me; that would simply be myopic and rather selfish. But aspects or qualities, talents, capacities that would serve you and, in turn of course, serve the grander Plan, the collective, and ultimately the Mother. (The Lord Arcturus in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, June 12, 2019.)
What the Lord Arcturus contributed was a library of Arcturian knowledge that would become accessible after Ascension.

| Experience |
To say “to experience,” as I’m intending the word, does not (necessarily) mean “getting out in nature” or “eating new foods.”
It can. But by the same token, we can be out in nature “experiencing” and still be relating to the world from the intellectual level only.
I’m referring to there being three levels to our knowledge of Reality: the intellectual, the experiential, and the realizational. When I use the word “experience,” I’m referring to live lived from the experiential level.
For us, in the growth movement, playing the awareness game meant always being aware of how we were feeling, in addition to what we were thinking, seeing, touching, etc. The emphasis was on feeling.
Many sages could be found who advise us to feel our way to God. Sri Ramakrishna suggested bhakti or love/devotion as the best path to God in the Kali Yuga or Dark Age, as it was (1) Bhakti is a strong path in Hinduism. Love attracts us to the Truth, which we then realize.
The mind, on the one hand, can lie and deceive in the service of the ego-self. Sociologists and philosophers call it “the self-serving bias.”
Feelings, on the other hand, don’t speak in words; they don’t lie. A feeling is a feeling. It has no text attached to it. It is what it is.
In my opinion, it’s how we interpret our feelings and what we do with them that gets us into trouble. If, as Jesus advised, we simply observe and experience them through to coimpletion,in my experience, no trouble results at all. (2)
Mind you, having said that, feelings are not the biggest prize – far from it. Just to illustrate the difference in impact, you’re lying on the beach and a child runs by with a bucket of water, splashing you a bit. You’re annoyed.
A half hour later, people are shouting that a big wave is coming in and everyone better run for safety. You gather your belongings and head for higher ground.
Let the splash of water be a feeling of love. It’s localized and of minor inconvenience. Let the tsunami of love when the heart opens be like the approaching wall of water in the face of which everyone is affected and runs for cover.
The feeling, as good as it was, was contained within you. But you’ll find yourself immersed in the higher-dimensional consciousness state, the tsunami of love, and, later, the Ocean of Love.
They’ll have different impacts. The feeling of love warms our heart, so to speak. But the tsunami of love sweeps all our cares and concerns away. We’ll feel more alive than we ever have before. A blessing of incomprehensible proportions will have hit us. We never knew this existed!
We think of realizations as being momentary. A flash in the dark. A sudden seeing of that which was missed and would never have been seen without the elevating influence of bliss.
But what if the realized state endures. No, doesn’t stay permanently; that would be Ascension. But stays for perhaps eight hours and then leaves to come back another day?
That was my lot through most of 2015 after March 13, before love gave way to bliss on Sept. 28.
We don’t have a word for a prolonged state of realization which then disappears. We don’t have distinctions or a language or even a name for a lot of what we’re doing, seeing, and realizing.
Our knowledge of who we are is in its collective infancy. Many of us haven’t gotten around to acknowledging that we’re a spirit having a human experience as well as a human having a spiritual experience. We’re both.
So when I use the word “experience,” I’m not talking of licking an ice-cream cone or running a mountain trail. I’m talking of us being aware of and using all our senses plus the creative imagination to derive information holistically about us and our environment – to fulfil the purpose of life. (3)
Doing this has more impact on our learning than simply talking about something and trading ideas. I’ve compared the merely intellectual to eating dry oatmeal; the experiential, to warm porridge with milk, blueberries, cashews, and maple syrup.
And realization is even better.

Wouldn’t hurt!
One immediate result of walls falling down over here is that my anger subsides a great deal. I’m not defending anything or behaving properly any more.
I’ve had two Ph.D. dissertations be turned down for not observing disciplinary boundaries so I think I have some experience in what results when one crosses the line.
The common wisdom on Ph.D. dissertations is that they follow and validate your thesis advisor’s research lines 90% and add in 10% of your own. I saw that as such a waste of time given how much there was to explore.
But decompartmentalizing the mind is a radical act. It says you’re not paying attention to the conformity that exists in our society, not just in academia.
That would surely jangle chains at all levels of society. Conformity is surely a message that is relentlessly put out by our mainstream media, explicitly and implicitly.
***Coming along with this breaking down of the walls of the mind, is a growing appreciation for flow. To my way of thinking, flow is a paradigm of the higher dimensions. (2)
Compartmentalization and flow are not a good fit. The one is designed to restrict uncontrolled flow. The other has no respect for compartmentalization.
It’s inevitable that we’ll enter a world of flow and leave a world of 3D compartments behind. We’re told that the Elohim have removed the 3D template from Planet Earth. Tazjima has given the most coherent explanation of their actions:
“The [Third-Dimensional] delusion is rapidly breaking up under the constant and increasing onslaught of cosmic energies designed to do just that.
“The underlying structure of the third dimension has been removed by its Creators, the Elohim. It was set up for the purpose of preventing further decay in the consciousness level being experienced by the inhabitants of the planet.
“It has served its purpose, but that purpose is now complete. As the threads of the energies of the divine feminine and the golden Christic light are now being interwoven into the tapestry of life upon the planet and into the heart centers of every living being, a new center point, a stillpoint, is being sought out.
“In coming to stillpoint, the energies of dark and light, female and male, flexibility and strength, will discover their need for each other in order to reemerge into wholeness.” (3)
While as a society we don’t recognize being in a higher plane than we were, experiencing it probably only awaits that recognition. Meanwhile the invitation is to allow flow back into our life as a means of loosening the bonds of the old 3D ways of living and inviting in the new.
Later that day
I hear myself saying, “Flow, Steve, flow. Free the mind.” Flow does seem to be the only viable response to the gavel effect or integration.
I suspect – it seems practically a given – that all of this is the effect of the rising lovelight energies.
