Enlightenment is the goal of all meditation and ascension work. There are many levels of enlightenment up to Union with the Source. The first (5th dimensional stage) has been achieved with the 21st December 2012 changeover. The 7th dimensional stage has traditionally been referred to as our Ascended Master level. Our guides may change as we go higher. Sometimes they are higher aspects of our former guides. Yet, in the end, we reconnect with higher levels of ourselves right through to Source.
Becoming Enlightened
Enlightenment, or Union with God, has always been the goal of meditation and spiritual development on the planet.
Now that the spiritual energy has risen so much, it is our natural time to go into enlightenment, if we choose. Indeed it will be difficult to stay on the planet if we do not.
We need to understand that we are already enlightened. It is impossible not to be, since we are Source. In the dense and complex third dimensional environment it was difficult to appreciate. We became embroiled in karma and the feeling of separation. It dragged our energy down.
Now that the planet has been cleared of so much of our past karma, if we balance our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual selves and stay focussed on gaining our spiritual development, we will make the goal. We need to strengthen our weaknesses, release our negative thoughts and feelings, hand them over and ask for healing and help.
Levels of Enlightenment
The planet has now gone into the 5th dimension. Many of us had already gone into enlightenment before the 2012 changeover, some are already in the fully seventh dimensional stage, and undoubtedly not a few of us will achieve the fully ninth dimensional stage, even merging into their souls in these amazing times.
Many of the “New Children” (indigos, Star Children and so on) who had come before the planet achieved the 5th domensional state were born enlightened.In the first stages of enlightenment, our Light increases and we connect out into the universe and beyond, sensing our oneness with everything.Gradually, we consciously open out further past the universe until we settle into the next stage. At this point, our consciousness achieves greater and greater peace and calm, with fewer and fewer thoughts and attachments. We live more and more by direct experience, intuitive knowing and being in the Now.
In the ninth dimensional stage, we often have a greater awareness of the different aspects of our soul, sometimes referred to as our soul group. The next stage brings us into a merging with our soul. Going beyond the universe, we reach the levels of our monad, or Divine Spark.
As we strengthen the once dormant bonds with our Creator we have many experiences of Oneness. We may develop a direct conversational link, we may experience oneness with everything, we may wake up from the dream or illusion of separation, or experience life from the viewpoint of our Creator Self. We may also experience such profound oneness that there is no beginning, no end, no up, no down, no future, no past; in fact there is only Isness. Being. At such a point words simply do not exist. There is not even “I”. We are Home.
