Below the state of pure consciousness lies what we could think of as the emotional state. Below the realizational level lies the emotional/experiential level.

In higher dimensions, what we think of as the emotional body, level, or field is what they know as the divine states.  (1)

What’s the difference between the two? The emotions are felt as if they were inside us – in our hearts, in our heads, in our chests.  But we are in – we are immersed in – the divine states. Bliss sweeps us away. Love flows through us like an inner tsunami and leaves us in an Ocean of itself.

Right now, almost all of us are not operating on a daily basis in the higher realms.  I’m certainly not.

However, as angelics all, we do operate there when we’re outside the body, I infer from Michael and the Mother’s teachings on the subject. (2)

But there would be little value to the Ascension scenario in all of us focusing our attention right now on pure consciousness, rather than on the situation of our ascending fellows. This is a mass Ascension, not just one person ascending “to Heaven.”

To be sure, someone still needs to focus on pure consciousness. I’d call that person a “jnana yogi” (seeker after wisdom) rather than a lightworker or “karma yogi.”

But most people attracted to this blog are here as servants of the Light. Admittedly sitting in stillness of mind is also sacred service. But we have hurricanes and tornadoes to clean up after. Very soon, we pray.

We have houses to build for the homeless, water to bring to the drought-ridden, food for the hungry. We have a future to give back to those who’ve been harmed.

We’re here because the Mother intended something special and challenging –

(A) To draw Planet Earth out of deep third-density despite the attempts of dark forces to keep it there;

(B) To restore it to its original pristine purity as a Garden of Eden or Planet of Love; and

(C) To introduce into the multiverse a new dimensional plan, wherein (i) all dimensions above the Third/Fourth can visit all others, in a new form of Ascension, in which we (ii) take the physical body with us, and (iii) go en masse, together, as One. (3)

Nothing like this has ever happened before.

So here we are now, in the deconstruction phase. We’re shedding all our baggage and those who refuse to do so with us are beating a path of destruction to the nearest exit – UK, New Zealand, underground.

We’ll soon be seating ourselves in our metaphorical jetliner (everyone able to hold the light is welcome) and metaphorically taking off. To another state. Of consciousness…

… where what will fill our field of awareness will be love. And what will thrill us will be a chance to share that love with another.

… where knowledge will arise in the mind as needed.

… where we’ll communicate with all life forms.

… where we’ll come out of our cocoons of blissful enjoyment and begin to serve and share the love.

The Mother described the moment I volunteered to serve:

Divine Mother: You have said to me, “Mother, what if they forget? I will remind them. I will communicate with them through words, through my passion, through my heart, through my knowing. I will communicate the love to them.”

This is your task and it is a task of change as this planet, in this great chaos, in flux, chooses, yes, by this wonderful instrument of free will, as they choose and as you choose to simply be the love.  (4)

Simply be the love. You were waiting for the reigning Soprano? She just sang.

***

We all of us would have had a similar conversation with her.  But you’re welcome to join me in my assignment!

Sharing the love is the way to experience it or, if we’re already experiencing it, to amplify it.

Oh my. I’m fulfilling my promise to the Mother, aren’t I? And it feels so satisfying.

In my opinion, most of us seem to live in the intellectual domain of life. We think of life in terms of dualities: good/bad, right/wrong, beautiful/ugly, etc.

Our discussion centers, in part, around what is, say, good and what bad and then what we like and dislike about the good and the bad.  Cotton is good for you; polyester is bad (I’m making this up). I like cotton and I don’t like polyester.

I like honey mustard; I don’t like mayonnaise. I like Nice on the Riviera; I don’t like Hawaii. I like purple; I don’t like black. On and on we go … and this is life for us. We are what we like.

The experiential realm is more about flowing with life and experience, going where it takes us and opening to the future, to what’s around the next bend.

It doesn’t necessarily result in a lot of words; communication is often by the expression and reception of feeling states, what I’ve in the past called “resonance.”

What makes an experientialist tick can be lost on an intellectual and vice versa.

We might see this as a ladder of increasingly-refined consciousness. The next rung on it is the realized state.

To call it that is to view it from a 3rd/4th-dimesional perspective. If we were to view it from a higher-dimensional perspective, we might call it the ascended state.

Then we might make distinctions between temporary visits to those higher dimensions, as in, say, heart openings or Self-Realization, and permanent ascension to the 5th dimension or higher, which is still a heart opening, but this time full and permanent.

Which perspective we choose only we can testify to. We’re all on the same one journey from God to God and there need be no judgment because one is in Place A and another in Place B.

***

But I do have my druthers. I find life lived solely at the intellectual level to be similar to eating dry, uncooked oatmeal.  Life lived at the experiential level is like eating cooked oatmeal, with almond milk, cashews, raisins, and honey. Yum! Life lived at the realizational level, since it involves a love like we never imagined it to be, (1) is sublime. All thoughts of eating vanish.

Saying that, for me, is not an abstract statement. Right now I’m experiencing that love.

I wonder if I’d be accurate in saying that all realizations are simply deeper and deeper experiences of love. I’d be willing to make that as a testable hypothesis.

All realizations are simply deeper and deeper experiences of love. There. Now I need to try it on and test it out.

Knock and the door shall be opened

When you “knock” on the door of the heart, eventually, it will open. (“Knock and the door shall be opened.”)

But, by the Law of Free Will, you need to ask first. (“Ask and it shall be given thee.” ) This opening of the door of the heart, and opening and opening, is what ascension all the way back to God is all about.   (1)

Here’s how the Mother described Ascension:

Steve: [I had a vision] and it seemed to show me that the way to unitive consciousness was that love would arise and sweep away separative consciousness. Unitive consciousness was always already there. It was just overburdened with separative consciousness. Am I correct in that?

Divine Mother: Yes, you are. That is the way. Love will sweep you and the planet [away], and in many ways, dear heart, that is Ascension. Because what it also does is [it] implodes greater consciousness. You do not live in the old realm. Is there more? Yes. But yes, that is the way that you move forward. It is the way that you experience.

And it does sweep you away. That is what I mean by the surrender and the bliss. And, make no mistake about it, you do leave your body and you inhabit your body.

You explode and you feel all the energies of the universe. And then, because you are becoming attuned to that feeling, that ecstasy, it steps down, and then you anchor it within your expanded field.

But each time you do the connection, it expands you more and more and more, and your capacity to love, to create, to do, to be, to connect, more and more and more, until there is no memory, no experience, of separation. It was an illusion. It is a false grid. And it has been the shackles. But it is not real. So, yes. (2)

My heavens. Only the Mother could confirm that! AND find words! What she has just said bears study! (3)

When the heart door or hridayam – which I envision operating rather like a camera’s aperture – opens, we’re flooded with higher-dimensional love. I asked Michael what dimension I was in in that space and he called it the Seventh:

Steve: The space that I call transformative love, what dimension is it?

AAM: It is the seventh dimension.  (3)

Michael says that we’re all of us crossing over the dimensional line, back and forth, usually in our sleep.

Archangel Michael: Think of how every time you … enter the transformative love, that is a snap. It is not the full dramatic snap but it is a snap. Each time you are progressing up what you can think of as a level.

Think of [entering] your love as flying back and forth through the portal. Now sometimes you’re aware and sometimes you’re asleep and sometimes you’re off with me. That is what you are doing and that is what humanity is doing.  (4)

But he also tells us that “we will not interfere with human free will.” (5)

Therefore the first step for us in experiencing the love of the higher dimensions would be to ask the Mother or any divine figure for a heart opening.

Having asked, the second step would be to knock and the door shall be opened; that is, to meditate on the love in the heart, perhaps draw it up on our inbreath, and invite the love within the heart to flow.

Love is delivered to the door of the heart. Knock, knock, knock. Open the door please.

Do you think that I knew at the beginning of writing this article what I did at the end? I did not. This is awareness writing, stream of consciousness, where the writer learns along with the reader.  I’m also quite sure that someone is moving my fingers.

If they aren’t, they’re asleep on the job. 😊

This sounds like such a harsh thing to be saying but I have to say it because I see it as a truth that needs to be known.

And everything said here will be clear as day when the Ring of Fire (Wave of Love, Event, Solar Flare, etc.) happens.  (1) Before that, not so clear – and seemingly far less relevant.

I assert that many fewer than 1% of the people alive on the planet right now know what real (higher-dimensional) love is.  That’s what I realized during the part of 2015 when I was steeped in it. (2)

And if we don’t realize and are not aware of what real love is, then how can we be aware of its invitations, details, or mechanics?

We can’t know the details of something we know nothing about – including that it exists!

I’ll give you an example. Love sprinkles its calling cards all over our aware space. A little wisp of love may float by. Or love will hitchhike on an upward-tending feeling or mood and overlight us briefly.

If we say, “Oh, this is love,” immediately that love returns the acknowledgement by filling us up. And, oh, then we’re in another world – experientially!

But love obeys the Law of Free Will. We must ask, accept, or allow it to enter and fill us up, if only by our actions and the direction of our intentions. If and once we do, it’ll find any crack to enter in.

***

Higher-dimensional love is not simply, to borrow Werner Erhard’s phrase, more, better, or different than what we normally feel. I can genuinely say it’s out of this world.

I did not know ahead of time the amount of lift … not quite the right word … transformation … hmmm. I did not know the amount of being turned inside out, thoroughly washed clean, and left to dry that entering into the flow of higher-dimensional love would bring.

Love is like air in the higher dimensions. Only in the 3rd/4th Dimension is density so thick that experiencing real love is difficult.

Once I asked Michael what I gave up on incarnating and he said lots and lots of memory. (3) I think it may have been outweighed by the lots and lots of love I – and all of us – gave up!

***

I’ve stopped asking people if they know what love is.  Too many people who clearly don’t know say they do. What am I going to say? “No, you don’t”?  I’ve placed myself in a most uncomfortable position.

There are signs that a person knows what real love is. Their movements are more settled.  They seem more relaxed and confident. They’re not in a rush to go anywhere … unless they’ve agreed to become the editor of a busy lightworker blog! (OK, OK, just kidding!)

They know what they want (more love). They know where they’re headed (to more and deeper love).

They know that love is the solution to all problems, the answer to all questions.

They know love is the philosopher’s stone, the talisman, the abracadabra and open sesame that we’re all looking for. Once we’ve found it, the simplicity of it all humbles us and makes us laugh.

It was always this simple? Just love? Oh, heavens…!

Attachment to everything else at the moment of accepting love drops away and I find myself attached only to love. (4)

I keep reading articles on freedom of speech that fail to see that it’s a limited right.

Just a few. minutes ago, I listened to a popular conservative commentator say, “I’m a free speech absolutist.” But free speech itself is not absolute, by its very nature.

Protecting one person’s free speech may mean curtailing another’s.

If freedom of speech were not limited, what would be the point of opposing racism or sexism? Everyone would be free to say whatever they like, like “Kill the [fill in the blanks],” and justify it on the grounds of having freedom of speech.

Human rights say: You have the right to live a peaceful and undisturbed life provided you observe certain socially-accepted and fair limits.

For instance, you must observe the religious freedom of others, their right to choose a marital partner, their right to access to education, etc.

We can see that one person’s human rights are another person’s prohibitions.   If I may be permitted a play on words, human rights flourish where human wrongs are prohibited and prevented.

We have freedom of speech except in the case of [and then we list the exceptions]. These exceptions define the limits of freedom of speech.

In my opinion, human rights as a concept is something understood only at a certain level of spiritual maturity. Before that, it’s the law of the jungle, living by our strength or wits, brute force, pushing through, etc.

Before that, as well, there’s no acceptance of divine agency – divine will, divine plan, divine direction, etc.

Sooner or later, we all give up the law of the jungle and take up a higher, more humane code of behavior on the one same journey all of us are on. (1)

Once a person surrenders to the life prescribed by a code of human rights, more cooperation arises and more community building.

Next and beyond that, we begin to create global unity, in which case respect and diplomacy become now stressed, rather than simply passively honoring another’s rights.

And then we have a glimpse of domains higher still, perhaps an extended experience of transformative love … and now, introduced to this divine game-changer, this love that sweeps away all sadness and dismay, at last we know how the world will work for everyone. We know the secret to making it work – this higher form of love which removes from everyone’s mind any thoughts of harm.

I had occasion recently to reflect on the differences between the academic world as I knew it when I left it in 1987, after my vision of the purpose of life, (1) and my own perspective, as it had been informed up to that time by experiences, reading, travel, etc.

Most of us alive at the time did not see, but tacitly accepted, that all that was real was what we could experience or know from our senses.  Philosophically, this viewpoint is called “empirical materialism.”

“Ghosts” are not real so, my earthly Mother, please stop trying to communicate with me. I’ll catch up with you later.

Anything invisible is not real so, Archangel Michael, back in the closet.  Divine Mother? Universal Logos? Hocus pocus!

Purpose to life? Only what you give it.  Otherwise, we live; we die. That’s it. Anything more is wish fulfilment.

Since the invisibles are not real, their role in terrestrial affairs and the lives of all of us is not real. Ascension is a fantasy. Having guides is our imagination working overtime. There’s no Divine Plan for this age or for life that we’re all acting out.

Life became a shoe that didn’t fit. I was constantly chafed at having to wear it ever since, ten years earlier, I had had an out-of-body experience, which shattered for me my misunderstandings about life and death. Now being shown the purpose of life was the last straw.

My existing paradigms didn’t fit with anything I’d experienced outside my body or in subsequent events. That was like a burr in my shoe.

I was being asked to deny my experience and make my studies fit with the prevailing paradigm. I wouldn’t do it. I didn’t do it.

You’ve only to visit the Downloads Page to view the reports on what I discovered after leaving academia and pursuing enlightenment.

Higher-dimensional spaces and beings cannot be detected with our lower-dimensional senses.

Moreover, we may “die” on this plane of existence, but, in fact, we simply rise up from our now-dead or dying body and meet our guides who begin our wider journey with us.

This all having been established, I’m free to investigate … well, what is that other life like? Which produced New Maps of Heaven. Having looked at that, my attention was then drawn to Ascension through a discussion with a friend, Len Satov, a year later. That led to the starting of the 2012 Scenario, this blog’s original form. And more databases.

Another year after that, I had a lucid dream of my twin flame. I sought out a channel, Linda Dillon, and spoke with my twin flame Annastara. At a second reading, I was told that someone wanted to talk to me. That began ten-years of readings with Archangel Michael, which changed my life.

All of this, if told to a firm adherent of empirical materialism, would earn a skeptical grin and a cool shoulder.

In the end, I’m not leaving people behind, but I’m surely leaving a paradigm behind.

I do find that at a very deep level I still buy some elements of it. But the more I love – that is, the more I breathe love up from my heart and allow it to revive me – the less trauma-born paradigms that govern behavior (automatic programming, habitual tendencies) have a hold on me. (2)

For a while longer, the rest of the world may snicker at our star family, angels, Divine Plan, etc., but the growth that I’ve experienced since starting out, inspired by channeled literature and readings with AAM, satisfies me entirely.

It’s an experience unto itself to be writing about a reality that most people in the world might smile or snicker at. But again, the experience of transformative love, only available to those who recognize it as existing, more than compensates.

Can you imagine a whole world smiling that deep smile at each other that says that they get it; they know what love is?

After the Ring of Fire or after Ascension, everyone will have what they’ve always wanted and probably didn’t know it – a deep form of all-fulfilling love that comes freely delivered to our very own doorstep – to our very own heart.  All paradigms that I’m aware of are superseded by the experience of that love.
