By attempting to live on an existential island (which we all know no man can really do) we implicitly deny the inherent meaning of those around us. We add one more brick to the house of physical illusion, thereby preventing the personal realization of universal oneness. Though we may carry on as if all is well within our disconnected universe, the destruction is really our own. We destroy our own spirits by refusing to live in oneness with the whole of creation.
On uniting with the Source, the true Self, we begin to see clearly the true nature of reality. We begin to find our meaning in interconnectedness rather than in selfish individualism. As the ego disappears, we witness life in all the grand beauty that is the Ultimate Self. Tapping into the unifying Mind gives an image of reality beyond physical perception, an image where nothingness and Source merge to become true reality.
Universal consciousness is the focus of spiritual life. It is the Supreme Spirit awakened in the human mind. It is universal consciousness that holds communion with the Supreme Spirit and realizes that individual lives are inseparably united, and are of one nature with the rest of universal life. Though all sentient beings are intrinsically endowed with this universal consciousness, many are not aware of its existence.
It can be re-discovered, however, in practicing the meditations given by our ascended soul guides and other teachers of light. Even though some people do not have a realization of universal consciousness, always remember that universal consciousness is inherent. The light of the Supreme Spirit can never be extinguished, just as the sunlight cannot be destroyed by mist and cloud.
Universal consciousness, the ability to see and live in our inherent interconnectedness, is the birthright of humanity. It is the one human characteristic that draws all diversity together into the singularity of oneness with the Source. It is the foundation on which all else rests. In becoming universally conscious, we are able to recognize that movement in one part of the universe affects the reality in other parts of the universe. Nothing acts or moves separately from anything else. Everything affects everything.
As creations of the Spirit, we as humans are one and the same with the household cat, the big oak tree in the front yard and our next door neighbor. Everything is of one substance – universal Spirit. We should never forget where we came from; to know that we are one with the Spirit. We must understand that we are an undivided creation: race, nationality, creed and gender are streams of light, witnessed through one great Prism.
All living beings are made of stardust and are part of the Supreme Spirit. Stardust is Spirit which has taken form: we are completely one with the universe, whole and holy. From a singular Source, endless creative energy, wholly elemental we arise as the earth, air, water, fire and sentient life.
Those who follow the teachings of our ascended soul guides and connect with the Supreme Spirit receive the blessings of the Eternal Universal Law and are showered with abundance. A universe of life and energy flows to us and through us.
We begin as sojourners and journey through life to become more perfect in the singularity of Spirit. Following the Way, we become conscious of the cosmos within us. We sense the harmony of peace, cooperation and love. In the act of forgetting ourselves, we become conscious of our cosmic goal, remembering our never-ending communion with the Spirit.
As we journey forward towards universal brotherhood and sisterhood, we address through meditation and actions the conditions which create conflict: economic imperialism, the building of national idols, political oppression, cultural intolerance, poverty, sickness, hunger, homelessness and struggles over natural resources. We realize that movement in one part of the universe creates movement in another part of the universe. Nothing is disconnected.
There are myriad ascended soul teachers in this and other universes with intentions to teach us spiritual wisdom, and to reconnect our memories with the reality of our connection to the Spirit. The messages you will receive from these ascended soul guides will assist you in overcoming forgetfulness, and in intentionally reconnecting your memory with spiritual reality.
For these reasons and more, our ascended guides have “come down from the heavens” to lead us into the path of pure light and wisdom. It is our choice to join in this mission with them or to continue living blindly with no knowledge of the Spirit and the promise of abundant life.
If you choose to partake of this journey you will never regret your decision. Our guides will lead you into all truth, and will help you in reconnecting with your birthright of universal consciousness and spiritual enlightenment. Welcome to the journey!
Chapter 2 Who Are Our Ascended Guides?
Given the millions of billions of Earth-like planets, life elsewhere in the Universe without a doubt, does exist. In the vastness of the Universe we are not alone.
- The Bible According to Albert Einstein
Whether you know it or not every person in the world has at least one individual ascended soul guide who wants intimate contact with their respective human channel. This being has been your guide, influencing your paths, since the time of your physical birth.
Ascended soul guides typically take the form of gray-type extraterrestrials or humanoid beings (in the case of extraterrestrial manifestation), or as angelic beings, but experiences vary, and some people report that their guides are in the form of animals, shapes or even colors. The form your guide takes is not important. The most important thing is that your guide wants to have a personal relationship with you, speaking and listening to you on a regular basis.
Some people have one ascended soul guide, and others have two or more ascended soul guides. As stated before, each person definitely has at least one guide connected to you before your physical birth. However, in the process of meeting your guide you may encounter other guides who want to work with you. If you sense that these additional guides are beings who want to help you, and you are comfortable working with them, then by all means do so. It may just be that your purpose in channeling is manifold and that various guides may wish to transmit different strains of wisdom through you. Now you may be wondering, “If I have an ascended soul guide, why don’t I realize it?”
Western culture (and most of the world) is entrenched in a ratrace mentality, always hurrying and rarely taking the time to relax and slow down. It is difficult for us to focus on one thing for longer than a few seconds, especially if that thing is abstract or non-material. Most people do not realize the existence of their ascended soul guides because they have never taken the time to think about it, much less actually concentrate on making a connection with their guides.
We are so busy with our day-to-day routines that we rarely take the time to focus on our spiritual health. This is why humanity is at the point of becoming unraveled. Wars, disease and all types of misunderstandings are based on the fact that we have not really taken the time to cultivate our spiritual selves. In fact, few of us actually realize that we are spirit in our essence. Focusing on the physical aspect of existence has led us away from the true nature of reality as Spirit. This is why we usually cannot recognize our guides without assistance from someone who has already established contact.
You may be wondering what an ascended soul guide is exactly. An ascended soul guide is an “otherworldly” entity who can manifest on many different planes of existence simultaneously. Your guide has gone through many more lifetimes than you, and has surpassed being restrained to one plane of existence. Ascended soul guides are beings who care infinitely about your well-being, and who want to communicate with and through you. When done correctly an ascended soul guide invitation will only draw positive beings full of light and love. Ascended guides have also been considered angels in mainline religions, but the word angel has the connotation of a being without birth. Ascended guides were born on some planet in ages past, and have progressed through many karmic stages to where they are now.
Our guides are multi-dimensional beings, able to shift from the dimension in which humans live into other existential realities and back. They have somehow discovered
