Due to the in-depth nature of this article, it is presented in two parts.

I have been asked to write this article by Devin and the Nibiruan Council. They feel it is important because there is a chance that we, as creator gods/goddesses could end up creating a 5D reality that is not what we really want. As Devin explained to me yesterday during a morning conversation, there are races out there who are actively influencing us and our ascension process, manipulating us so that we end up polarizing to one side or the other and thus fulfill their agenda instead of ours. It is time we become conscious of this manipulation. Devin states that it is not their (the Council’s) intention to control the outcome of our ascension process but it is the Council’s duty to inform us when manipulation is occurring so that we can do something about it. He and the Council are very much aware that our free will and free choice must be maintained and honored by all races involved or observing our ascension.

When the idea to write this article first occurred to me, I thought it would be about things like, what kind of food we would eat, houses we would live in, cars we would drive, money etc, but it is not about any of that. This article is about getting clear about the goal of ascension (ascending to the 5th dimension), what kind of society we want to create through our efforts … in the context of this grand earth experiment and how to avoid being thrown off course in the process. Now some of you may think the idea of other races manipulating us is pretty far fetched. I can understand that if you have not done any research on what is going on behind the scenes in your world. But I suggest you open your eyes and your mind because this activity is going on right in front of you. Enough said, let’s get on with the article.

To understand what I am about to share, you will need to know some basic definitions. Of course, these are my own, based on my understanding. Yours may be somewhat different.

What is the Grand Experiment? The Grand Experiment refers to the objective of Divine Creator to integrate the two polar opposites, Light and Dark. In our universe these two forms of energy are represented by two races. They are the Humans and the Reptilians. Read the Polarity Integration page on our site for more details. We have attempted polarity integration two previous times without success. This time, we are well on the way to successful completion. Read The 3 Earth Grand Experiments page on our site for a comprehensive explanation.

How do we successfully complete a Grand Experiment? We achieve the goal of the Grand Experiment by consciously creating a 5th dimensional (5D) society where Light and Dark are balanced. This means, of course, that we have balanced the Light and Dark energies within ourselves so that they manifest as our reality.

A Collective – A collective is a group of individuals who link their minds and emotions so that each person can experience and know what all the others are thinking and feeling. They can partake of the combined knowledge and experiences of all members. The reason for creating a collective is to develop a sense of oneness and teamwork among the individual members.

Unity consciousness – Some call it Christ consciousness. My understanding is that Unity Consciousness refers to the state of consciousness where we all believe that we are one and therefore live with the understanding that everything we do and think affects everyone else. We manifest this belief through the creation of a collective or group mind. The primary component at work here is Oneness. In the Grand Experiment, Unity consciousness represents the Light.

When Unity consciousness in a society becomes unbalanced it begins to manifest it’s opposite. In other words, the society once based on oneness becomes a controlling oneness. Control is something that we as humans who have become used to free will find uncomfortable. An example of a Unity consciousness society gone haywire is the Taelons of Earth: Final Conflict. They have a collective but have lost their ability to live outside it. Those who unlink from it find that they become very fearful and many die because they cannot handle the responsibilities of individuality/separateness, of thinking on their own. They have lived too long in the hive or web of their group mind. In this case, fear has entered the picture, the opposite of love, and this fear is what controls.

A more extremely polarized version of unity consciousness would be the Borg of Star Trek Voyager. Isn’t it interesting how we have been given examples of the various types of societies that we can create based on unity and separateness through our media. It is like being given a menu that we can explore so that we can see what we want to create and what we don’t want to create. The Borg really display the dark side of unity to the point that they believe that one can only be truly efficient and perfect if one is able to partake of the knowledge of others on a continuous basis, i.e., group mind. And, to take it even further, the Borg travel through the galaxies, assimilating other races and their technology against their will, believing all the while that they are doing their captives a favor! They feel they are improving these races since the Borg’s perspective of quality is perfection and efficiency—feelings are irrelevant. Of course, there is one other little separatist aspect of this race, only the queen can have thoughts separate from the collective. She controls it. With the Borg, we see a “Light” society gone “Dark” through polarization.

So we see that when unity consciousness goes out of balance the elements of love and oneness are sacrificed for fear and control. Is this what we want to create? Is this what we are on the road to creating with all of our talk of moving towards the Light, rejecting the Dark as bad and evil? I have to confess, it has me concerned and this concern is what is behind my feelings of discomfort of those that I affectionately call the “Love and Lighters.” They express only their Light side, their sweet side and seek to totally repress their Dark side. As a result, they come off phony, totally lacking in realness. They are easy to identify.

This Love and Light attitude is what I have seen more of since I entered the metaphysical community. And based on what I have already shared about imbalanced Light societies, I feel that if they continue to be the majority we are surely on the way to creating a society that is not only unreal, it will be rife with deception, fear, corruption and all the things we have now that we all say that we don’t want. It will just be covered up better than it is now. Sort of like creating Disney World with a dark underside.

There is one other aspect of an unbalanced Unity conscious society that is worth exploring—the people no longer procreate on their own, and the choice to have or not have a child is no longer theirs to make. Population is strictly controlled. All babies are created through artificial means i.e., test tubes and incubation chambers. They never know the sound of their mother’s heartbeat. This is another way they can control aspects of individuality since the child will have no connection to one individual but instead to the collective.

I have been taught that when races polarize too far to the Light or the Dark they lose their ability to procreate and they become androgynous since they no longer need sexual organs. This would explain both the Taelon’s and the Grey’s dilemma. Both are polarized Light societies.

Traits of a Unity Consciousness Society:

• Female/Matriarchal
• Emotional (predominantly upper chakra though)
• Teamwork
• Efficiency
• Have a group mind/collective of some sort to create Oneness
• Examples of unbalanced/polarized Unity Conscious societies: Taelons and Borg
• Sexuality in a balanced Unity conscious society and race: Ability to have sex at will and to procreate within the limits upon which everyone has agreed. In other words, no population explosions that create poverty, hunger and death.
• Sexuality in an unbalanced Unity conscious society and race: No sex – become androgynous

Separateness consciousness – Separateness consciousness is the belief that we are all individuals and are separate from one another. Our thoughts are our own. There is no collective or group mind. Maintaining individuality and free will is the primary objectives of this state of consciousness and are not to be denied or lost in any way. In the Grand Experiment, Separateness consciousness represents the Dark.

As I have said many times, there is nothing wrong with Separateness conscious societies. They have their strengths and their weaknesses. In this type of society the strong survive. Those most capable of using their power to be responsible and independent will succeed. Those who do not wish to use their power preferring to give it to others will not. The message of this kind of society is: Power comes through one’s willingness to be responsible for it. In a Unity society it is the opposite. Their message is: Power comes through unification … the more unified we are the more powerful. So everyone working together shoulders the responsibility of the group or society’s power.

In Separateness consciousness societies (an exception to this would be the more combative societies) emotions are looked upon as something that must be suppressed due to their unpredictable nature. Logic is preferred because it is more predictable and allows one to achieve perfection. This belief, of course, comes after many lives of war. They rationalize that because of emotions, they war and so they take a different route and begin suppressing what they feel is at the root of their conflicts thus becoming peaceful and very deadly.

A good example would be the Vulcans. Remember Spock from the original Star Trek series and Tuvac from the Star Trek Voyager series? They both show us what life would be like if we polarized too far into separateness consciousness. They rely on meditation and emotional abstinence to maintain their near perfectly logical lives. Unfortunately they live among those crazy humans with their unpredictable and illogical emotions and this creates many opportunities for these Vulcans to experience the chaos and excitement of human emotions. I find myself laughing as I observe their discomfort over their captains seemingly illogical choices. Of course, many times they find out that those seemingly illogical choices were in fact the correct ones. These Vulcans do not believe in acting on gut instinct or intuition. For them it’s logic all the way! Makes me want to go up and hug ‘em just to ruffle their feathers a bit. haha

When it comes to sex, no one can beat separateness conscious societies for passion and excitement. Since they work predominantly out of their lower chakras, the sexual chakra being one of these, they excel at taking sex to higher and higher levels of passion. But of course, the more competitive and warrior type societies take their competitiveness into the bedroom so sex becomes somewhat violent. A good example of this was the sexual union between Whorf and Dax on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. They both had to go to the infirmary after intercourse to get bandaged … but they were happy and satisfied!

Traits of a Separateness Consciousness Society:

• Male/Patriarchal
• Mental
• Logical
• Competitive
• Perfectionistic
• Work out of lower chakras
• Sexuality: They have sex and it is very passionate even violent in some cases.

Examples of unbalanced Separateness conscious races and their societies from most peaceful to the most combative :

• Vulcans
• Romulans
• Founders
• Cardasians
• Klingons

We can be manipulated by races polarized to the Light as well as the Dark because of our patterns and belief systems.

This idea had not occurred to me until Devin talked to me about it just yesterday, but it makes sense. Since the Light has a Dark side and the Dark has a Light side, and there are races that have polarized to each that are interested in pulling Earth to their side of the line, it would make sense that these races would be trying to manipulate us to fulfill their agenda. Again, races polarized to the Light would resemble the Taelons and the Borg (as described above). Both of these series were written by Gene Roddenbery to whom, I am convinced, was channeled this information.

The Borg are an example of the most polarized unity consciousness. Everyone is hooked into the collective and not allowed to disconnect if they choose. They have lost their free will. The Taelons are an example of a less polarized unity consciousness. Always hooked into the collective but have some free will still available. The character, Za’or is an example. The Dark side of their nature is still present. In their collective they don’t know everything that everyone is thinking. They are androgynous and as a result can no longer procreate on their own, hence their reason for coming to earth—they are trying to save their dying race by finding a way to crossbreed with the earth humans.

Now I ask you, is it unrelated to us that the Taelon’s main agenda is to control mankind and use the human race to their own ends? Is it just pure coincidence that the one planet that the Borg cannot seem to be totally successful in assimilating is Earth? Is it only an unrelated aspect of the story that their last attempt to do so was to travel back through time to outwit Captain Picard and crew to accomplish this very goal? In my opinion it is not a coincidence but a co-incident! What do you think?

Isn’t it interesting that we have weekly TV shows depicting these types of races and how they interact with Humans? And I don’t think that it’s unintended coincidence that we have them either. People wake up! We are being shown our choices here!

Unbalanced consciousness, whether Unity or Separateness also leaves open the possibility for micro chipping. Micro chipping is a way to create a collective but it also creates a controlled collective. We will have no choice but to be in the collective if we get the chip, thus we will give up much of our free will.

If we go for the wrong goal of unity we can end up being manipulated by those who are already too polarized to the Light (unity consciousness) just as if we go for the wrong goal of individuality, we end up being manipulated by those who are already polarized to the Dark (Separateness consciousness). We must find the balance and to find the balance, we need to better understand what we are trying to achieve, what we truly want to create as our new 5D world.

Now that we have reviewed the various types of societies that we don’t want to create, let’s decided what kind of society we do want to create.

The 5th Dimension: What Will It be Like? Part 2

By now you have probably realized that we were not given a blueprint for ascension. In a perfect world we would have a blueprint or model showing us what to do. We would know what to expect and what not to expect and therefore would move through the process with more grace and ease that we do now. But as we all realize, we don’t live in a perfect world so we blindly stumble along figuring it out as we go.

Much of our energy is spent learning that we have many misconceptions of what the ascension process is and isn’t. These misconceptions create a lot of the pain that we experience along the way. For example, there is a misconception that we can ascend without having to experience our fears. Oh how wonderful it would be if that was really true. *sigh*

This article was written to help dispel some of these misconceptions that cause us to stumble and also to provide something of a blueprint for the process. This blueprint, of course, is based on my own experiences as well as those of the beautiful souls who I am honored to know and who walk the path along side me. So let’s begin with the basics.

What is ascension?

On an individual level, ascension is the process of changing one’s consciousness from one reality, based on one set of beliefs, to another. On a group or planetary level, ascension is the collective expansion of a state of consciousness (set of beliefs) to the point where that consciousness creates a new reality—a new state of being or dimension (*The Hundredth Monkey Syndrome). Example: We are collectively creating a 5th dimensional consciousness through our individual ascension processes. Okay, I realize I have thrown a new thought in here, that being that a dimension is a state of consciousness. Perhaps we’d better stop and look at that before we go on because we really need to understand consciousness, dimensions and such before we can truly grasp the process of ascension.

What is consciousness?

Consciousness is a set of beliefs on which we base our lives and through which we make the choices and decisions that make up our present reality.

What is a dimension?

A dimension is a state of consciousness. Now how can that be? Well, when you look at what we know about dimensions, what we find is that each is about a unique set of beliefs. For example, 3D is about the belief that, this is the only life that we have and if you can’t touch it, taste it, see it, feel it or hear it, it doesn’t exist. Is that pretty close? 5D, which I will fully address in an upcoming article, is about Christ or Unity consciousness where we realize that we are all connected—we understand and live in oneness (there is a misconception of what unity consciousness looks like and I will address it in the article, The 5th Dimension—what will it be like?). Our current 3D consciousness was not established until enough people began to believe the same way. And I suspect the current 5D consciousness was not established until enough of the people existing there, figured out how to live in unity. So we see that when enough people live a set of beliefs they create a dimension.

Going further, a state of consciousness/dimension vibrates as a certain frequency just as all physical matter has a distinguishing vibration or frequency. In our universe, as I understand it, the closer we get to the integration point of Light and Dark, the faster we vibrate (compassion being the integration point with the fastest vibratory rate). So, if a whole group of people acquire a particular set of beliefs, in this case, the understanding of how to live at the integration point between Light and Dark, then they all begin to vibrate at that particular rate. This vibratory rate is also known as a frequency. Continuing on, this group vibration creates a new consciousness, a new reality, and a new dimension by the individuals in the group expressing themselves emotionally, creatively, etc. Whew! I hope this all makes sense to you. Sometimes I find trying to explain multidimensional concepts a bit challenging because there are so many levels to them. I can see them in my mind but getting them down on paper is another matter. *smile*

Now that we have a basic understanding of consciousness, dimensions and frequency, let’s get back to ascension.

How do we ascend?

Simply stated, we ascend by clearing our emotional blocks, integrating the fears that are the basis of those blocks, and transmuting the anger, hatred, guilt, blame and shame in those blocks into compassion. In each of our emotional blocks there is judgment of the dark emotions (those already stated above). As we learn to accept, value and use those emotions in a balanced manner, we balance the Dark side of ourselves.

On the outside, as we learn to value and appreciate those who express those dark emotions in their roles as our teachers (i.e., those who play dark roles because they have spiritual contracts with us to do so), we balance the Light and Dark in our reality. Once again, another multidimensional concept condensed into a sentence or two. Read The Formula of Compassion and Dancing with the Dark booklets for more information on integrating the Light and the Dark.

As we clear our blocks we shift our consciousness. We become less judgmental, thus more compassionate. So our consciousness shifts first and our physical body follows suit. Thirdly, our external reality begins to reflect back the new consciousness that we are expressing. Thus, the physical reality slowly shifts also. So every day, as we allow our guides to bring our lessons forward so that we can clear them, we are ascending. Each time we clear a block and experience the joy of gratitude and appreciation and compassion, we are ascending. Let’s recap this one. Ascension occurs when you:

• Are willing to clear your blocks.
• Clear a block, integrate a fear by experiencing it and achieve compassion, thus creating a shift in your consciousness.

What are the mechanics of ascension?

Ascension is a process that has spiritual, emotional, mental and physical components. This process is multi-layered and interconnected, meaning that an action taken on one level affects the other levels (think of it as a domino effect). The mechanics of the ascension process go something like this:

1. You ask for your fears to be made known to you.
2. A fear manifests in your life packaged as a lesson that has come forward.
3. You move through the fear, being willing to experience it as completely as necessary in order to integrate it.
4. You integrate the fear, thus learning the lesson. In this part you feel the fear feelings associated with this fear/lesson. They can be feelings such as guilt, shame, hatred, anger, resentment, etc. (Yes, we do fear feeling these emotions because we have been taught that they are bad and if we experience them, we are bad.)
5. You experience release as the fear is integrated and the lesson is learned. In this release you experience emotions such as joy, bliss, gratitude (for the person who played the Dark role) and compassion (for the pain the Dark role person had to experience in order to play their part). As you feel the compassion, there is a tingling sensation in your body and in many cases an orgasmic explosion of energy in your high heart chakra (this is the anger, shame, etc., being transmuted into compassion) as you release the people involved in your lesson from blame.
6. The compassion you feel transmutes a bit more of your DNA from carbon-based to crystal or silica-based, thus allowing more light into your body. At the same time, any implants (also known as behavior patterns) associated with that fear/lesson are changed (balanced). If you have been working on this fear in all its various aspects for a while, those newly changed implants then release their bit of your dormant 10 strands of your DNA so that they can be realigned.

The more we move through these steps, (read the Formula of Compassion for more details on this integration/transmutation process) the more we recode our DNA, this shifting our consciousness closer and closer to the integration point between Light and Dark. Compassion is the unconditional and equal acceptance of all things (Light and Dark) regardless of who or what they are. Now let’s look at some of the misconceptions about ascension.

Misconceptions of Ascension

There are many misconceptions about ascension going around these days. Most of this seems to come from a lack of basic information and trying to formulate our concept of ascension on what we have been taught in the past. Once we are given the higher perspective regarding some of these concepts we can see where just having another level of knowledge makes it all make sense. Let’s look a few of the more prevalent ones.

We can ascend without experiencing pain or fear.

As I said earlier, I wish this was true but as we have seen from the information above, we must have something that we can use to achieve compassion. We must have some form of fuel. We don’t transmute love or joy into compassion, do we? Both love and joy are higher frequency emotions, like compassion, aren’t they? It is my understanding that we use the energy of the lower frequency emotions of anger, shame, guilt, resentment, etc. to transmute into compassion. So, if this is true, then we must be able to access these emotions to be able to transmute them, right? And in order to access them we must feel them in some way because that is what is meant by accessing, is that not true? And isn’t experiencing them the same as feeling them?

Going further, don’t lower frequency emotions create emotional and, sometimes, physical pain? For example, doesn’t anger create emotional pain, or guilt or shame? So to wrap this up, if we need transmutable emotions for fuel to ascend, then we must access them. This means feeling the pain of those emotions, and if we feel the pain of our emotions, then I suppose that means that we don’t ascend without experiencing pain. Does that make sense? And keep in mind that pain is a catalyst for change. We don’t change until we realize that we need to…pain is the indicator that it is time for change. From the higher perspective, as I understand it, pain is a most valuable tool because without it we have no catalyst to move us to do the work that is necessary in order to grow spiritually.

We can recode our DNA just through intent or by having someone else do it for us.

Well, think about this. If you are doing emotional clearing and that changes your DNA, isn’t that the same as DNA Recoding? And, if you need fuel (fears and lower frequency emotions) to transmute into compassion to recode your DNA…and to experience that whole process of transmutation for it to work then how can you do it merely by intent? Also, how can someone else do that for you? How can they experience your fears, integrate them and learn your lessons for you? I don’t see how they can. It would be the same as having someone else live your life for you while you sit on the sidelines and observe. But if they could, I would certainly be the first in line! I don’t want to experience any more pain and discomfort than I have to.

Through the ascension process we will gain the ability to bi-locate, levitate and move objects with our minds.

It was a real letdown for me when I found out that these abilities were not part of Earth’s planetary ascension process and plan. I so wanted to learn how to do them and found that in the beginning they were one of the reasons I kept going. But on the other hand, we are not required to attain them in order to ascend and that is a big relief! Think of how much time and energy it would take to be able to acquire these abilities. This is mystery school stuff that takes years to master. So, no, these abilities are not part of the ascension process. The abilities that are required are:

1. The ability to achieve compassion by transmuting emotional blocks
2. The ability to value the Dark in all ways
3. The ability to live in harmony with all other species in the universe regardless of differences

Something that I learned not too long ago that you might be interested to know is that there are two different ascension processes. There is the Reptilian process and the Human Process. The Reptilian process, taught through the ancient mystery schools enables you to ascend through mental mastery and requires the student live apart from the world in order to concentrate on his/her skills. The Human process enables you to ascend through the heart and requires the student to live in the world to acquire the skills. Okay, so I may have opened a can of worms on this one…guess I’d better write an article to explain this one too.

When we ascend we will be on a different planet.

Actually in one sense it will be like being on a different planet, but in reality we will be on a different plane of this one. Just as radio stations exist on different frequencies but you can still access them from the same radio, 3D, 4D and 5D will be different dimensions/frequencies/states of consciousness that can be accessed on the same planet, Earth. At least that is my understanding at this time.

When we ascend we will live to total unity and oneness…there will be no Dark or negativity…it will be all love and light.

Whoa! Won’t people be surprised when they see that there is still Light and Dark in 5D? Once again, as I understand it, we will have a more united society but not at the expense of individuality. Having only Light/Unity means, in it’s extreme, a hive mentality like bees or ants. Do we really want that? As I understand it, we want to live in the knowing that we are all connected so that we can stop all the warring and fighting that is caused by “we are separate” thinking. But we don’t want to give up our individuality and free will to become part of a unity consciousness where everyone thinks the same, do we? Well if that is the case, count me out. I like having free will and free thinking.

As we ascend we will be able to physically see and hear our guides.

Perhaps further down the road in the ascension process this will occur as 4D and 5D become stronger but for now it is through the inner eye and the inner ear that we see and hear our guides. There are those who already do see and hear with their 3D eyes and ears but that is not because of DNA Recoding or ascension, I am told. It is because they were born with endocrine glands fully functioning as part of their earth mission.

As we ascend we should leave our 3D lives behind and move into the Light.

Well, that’s also not part of the plan this time. As I understand it, we are to live in the world and be part of it but live in it with a multidimensional consciousness. This was a difficult one for me to figure out. At the beginning of my path, I wanted to separate from the world, go live in a closed community of like-minded people, give up my credit cards and bank accounts and live on love. I soon found out, just by doing part of that, that it didn’t work. We are to stay grounded and in the world because the world is the place from where our lessons will come. It is the place where we can access our fears and integrate them, access our lower frequency emotions and transmute them within our 3D physical bodies.

If we separate from the world and spend our time hanging out in other dimensions or the Astral plane, we will lose out on the experiences that cause us to grow. Remember, without the lessons coming forward, we cannot spiritually grow. We grow out of imbalance into balance. If we try to live in a perfect world, we become spiritually stagnant, don’t we? Think about it. Well, enough of the misconceptions, this article is already long enough. Let’s move on.

How can I tell if I am ascending?

You have mentally made the decision to go through the ascension process. This is different than being on the spiritual path. Ascension is a choice to move to the 5th dimension. The spiritual path is a choice to open up to what is beyond 3D and to access your spiritual side.
Your fears are manifesting in your life as lessons

Your physical body begins to react to the ascension process through new aches and pains. This is your inner child being triggered by the fears coming up to be integrated. These fears are stored in your physical body in different locations. Example: A fear of money is stored in your lower back and you experience that fear as lower back pain.

You begin to be consciously aware of the synchronicities and unusual occurrences in your life versus being unaware of them. (Synchronicities are your guides and your work bringing forth the events on your Life Blueprint that you had chosen during your time in the Interlife, the life between lives.)
What do we mean when we say that the 3rd, 4th, and 5th dimensions are merging?

This is an interesting tidbit that I couldn’t resist sharing with you. As many of you know, there is a lot of talk about the dimensions merging, and the physical/mental/emotional effects we are experiencing because of it. I’d like to share what I think this means since so many have emailed me about it.

As more and more of us move along the Spiritual and Ascension paths, we achieve levels of understanding. For example, we learn that we are spiritual beings having a physical/human experience. When enough people figure that one out, they create a new consciousness. As I understand it, this particular belief being one of the more basic ones on the Spiritual path is a 4D concept. So, this group has anchored a 4D octave into 3D because they live in a physical 3D world, hence they have merged 3D and 4D. The same thing occurs when enough people anchor a 5D concept in 3D. This is what is meant by the dimensions are merging. Groups of people are creating new dimensions of consciousness while living on a different dimension. Hope that makes sense.

Well that about sums up this ascension thing for this article. There is a lot more that can be shared on ascension and I have covered some of it in other articles I’ve written. Feel free to check them out. You will find them under “Ascension” in the Library area of our site.

Please feel free to email me if you have any questions on the information in this article.

For information of the physical symptoms of ascension read, Let’s get Real about Ascension, I and II. For information on earth’s ascension status read, Are we Ascending?

* The Hundredth Monkey refers to “collective consciousness” (a phenomenon to scientists) by an author named Ken Keyes, Jr. On an island, social scientists observed monkeys eating sweet potatoes that the scientists covered in sand before giving to the monkeys. The monkeys ate the potatoes but didn’t like the sand. One of the females began washing her potato in water before eating it. Slowly the others followed her example and eventually this behavior spread throughout the island, reaching the older generation last. Suddenly other monkeys on the other islands started doing the same thing! Simply, Keyes explains about this collective consciousness: “When a certain critical number achieves an awareness, this new awareness may be communicated from mind to mind.” For you movie buffs, this phenomenon was also partially observed in the opening of the movie, 2001, a Space Odyssey.

For those walking the ascension path, being able to remember all of our memories of other lives and places has long been considered one of the major rewards. As we doggedly move forward year and year, clearing our emotional issues, we hold fast to the hope that one day we will have access to every memory and the Akashic Records, the repository of our multidimensional memories, will become an open book that we can access at our leisure. But until that time the 3D veil, known to many of us as the veil of forgetfulness, the one that blocks us from our ancient memories, continues to thwart our efforts making it very difficult to remember our past and future lives on other dimensions.

Due to the powerful effectiveness of this veil, we remain locked in our one-dimensional prison and one-dimensional life. For the majority of people on this planet, that is okay. They have been taught that this life is all there is, but for the rest of us who seek to know more of who we are, believing that there is life beyond our planet and lives that we have lived beyond our current life, the ache to remember can seem almost unbearable at times. We know in our hearts that accessing those other lifetimes is a key to becoming multidimensional—all that stands in our way, we say, is that darn 3D veil!

Before I go any further, allow me to explain what I mean by having a multidimensional consciousness. With a multidimensional consciousness, we can live on earth (3D) experiencing all the good things that 3D has to offer. In addition we would be able to feel all of our emotions including those of our other multidimensional selves. This means we would have all the feeling receptors in our physical/emotional bodies fully functioning and we would be able to move our emotions in, through and out of our physical bodies, transmuting the lower chakra emotions into compassion when appropriate. We would no longer be stuffing our emotions and/or using food, exercise, work, drugs or alcohol to medicate them. We would fully value all of our emotions including those we have been taught are unacceptable.

As I have written many times before, I walk that path of ascension right along with the rest of you. And I, too, have raised my fist towards the heavens in frustration saying, “I want to remember! I want to know all about my past lives, my origins and the family that I left behind when I decided to come to earth in service.” When I began the ascension path, I could not wait to remember. I jumped into emotional clearing with the enthusiasm of an innocent because I was told that that was how I was going to be able to access my memories. I wanted to remember so badly that I was willing to do almost anything.

Now, after several years in the process, I understand a lot more than I did back then. One of the things I understand is that there is a value to the 3D veil, the one that we rail against and feel was imposed on us against our will. Now, I know that some of you don’t see it that way and you do feel that you willingly accepted the veil in order to incarnate on earth, but many do not. Regardless of whether you feel you chose it or not, there is a real value in this veil, one I wish to explain. My reason for sharing this explanation with you is to help ease the pain of the ascension path just a bit more. As we learn the value of the things we resist or negatively judge, we relieve ourselves of the pain that our judgment and resistance creates. In my opinion, the ascension path is challenging enough without adding the pain of judgment to any part of the process.

So why do we feel the 3D veil has no value? Why was it created as part of the earth experience? What purpose does it serve in our spiritual growth and ascension? And how could it possibly have any value? Let’s take a look.

It is my understanding that from a universal perspective, the earth is a grand experiment of polarity integration. This means that earth is a planet where all aspects of Light and Dark can be experienced and where all levels of free will can be exercised. And of course, the goal is to integrate the Light and Dark on all levels through the exercise of total free will. Within the realm of free will is the right to experience as much or as few of our emotions as we choose.

It is through our emotions that we access our memories. When counseling with clients trying to access their memories, I explain that our memories are stored in our long-term memory like file folders in a file cabinet. Each folder is labeled with the name of an emotion. Each memory is filed based on its emotional content. For example, a memory that involved a lot of anger would be filed in the folder labeled “anger.” A memory that consisted mostly of love, like the memory of a day at the park with your lover would be stored in the folder labeled “happy love.” Each memory would be stored in multiple folders based on which emotions were involved in the experience. This means that in order to access all of your memories, you must be able to feel all of your emotions. If you suppress some of your emotions, you will find it very difficult and after a while, impossible to access the memories associated with those emotions.

This is why people begin to have memory problems as they get older. They have suppressed so many of their emotions for so long they can no longer access the corresponding memories. This can become so severe that whole portions of their lives are blanked out. It is not that the memories are not there, it is that they can no longer retrieve them from long-term memory.

The earth systems of this polarity integration experiment are designed to be functionally dysfunctional. In other words they are to function in a dysfunctional way. Why? The goal of all universal experiments is spiritual evolution and to grow we must have something to grow out of and something to grow into. How could we acquire soul growth if all our systems were perfectly balanced? How can we learn compassion, acceptance and kindness if everything is already balanced, compassionate, kind and accepting? You see, there must be systems that are based on the opposite of these qualities so that we can learn to balance the unbalanced, make functional the dysfunctional. At least that is how I understand it.

What does this all have to do with our not finding a value in the 3D veil? We say that we want to remember all of our memories and we blame the veil for not being able to do so. We believe that if there were no veil we would have access to all of our memories … and we would. But if we as a society and race have trouble now handling the full gamut of our emotions and their associated memories, how can we possibly expect to be able to handle the emotions and memories from all of our other lives? If we acknowledge the fact that our world is rampant with addictions of all kinds, designed to help us repress the emotions we are told are not appropriate to express, how can we hope to handle the emotions we will feel when we access the memories of our other lives? We are talking about emotions a thousand times more powerful and intense than the small amount we experience now. Just as we only access one lifetime of memories now, we only access one lifetime of anger, shame, guilt, joy, sorrow and pain.

Can you imagine what it would be like to access a thousand lifetimes of these emotions … or a million lifetimes all at the same time? Without the 3D veil, we would be exposed to all the emotions and all the memories of all our lives in other dimensions. Can you imagine the impact that would have on our already overtaxed nervous systems? What kind of life would we live then? Would we all become alcoholics, food addicts or drug addicts? Would we become a society enslaved by our addictions … and aren’t we that already? How much more severe would it be? I shudder to think!

I believe that without the 3D veil we would be more addicted and medicated than we already are. In my opinion the 3D veil is a blessing in disguise. Because of the 3D veil, I have the opportunity to shield myself from the larger extent of my memories so that I can learn how to handle the ones of this lifetime before I take on those from other lifetimes. I can take baby steps and learn to experience the full range of my emotions in my own timing.

I can learn to speak my truth in steps so that my Inner Child/Ego does not have a panic attack because it fears the consequences of my actions. With the 3D veil in place I can take learning how to “be for me” instead of being for everyone else except me one step at a time so that my Inner Child/Ego can learn to integrate the fear of people calling me selfish when I stop catering to their every need. Without the 3D veil I could not do these things. I would have to eat the proverbial elephant all at once … and that would probably blow me right out of my body or cause me to plunge into the deepest levels of depression in order to be able to survive the pain not to mention the drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and food addictions I would acquire to be able to handle the rest. Without the 3D veil, I don’t feel that I’d have a prayer’s chance of becoming multidimensional and ascending because I wouldn’t be able to integrate all the emotions in my MD memories at once.

What part does the veil play in our spiritual growth and ability to ascend? In my opinion, it is a valuable tool. As we acquire and practice using tools that enable us to clear our emotional bodies and handle new emotions instead of stuffing and medicating them, we can use the veil to gauge the degree to which we can access and effectively process emotions, moving them from our emotional body into and out of our physical body. As we get better at doing this, we can begin accessing more of our current life memories, integrating and balancing the emotions involved. Once we get to the point where we can use higher dimensional tools to integrate any emotion from any of our memories at will, we can move to the next step—integrating the emotions of our other lives.

It is my understanding that the 3D veil can be pierced by any of us. All we have to do is be able to integrate emotions so that we can access the memory files of our other lives. The 3D veil does not keep us from our memories, it does not arbitrarily lock us out of the other dimensions. If this was the case, I don’t believe anyone would be able to access the Akashic Records and we have seen plenty of people who can.

It is my understanding that the 3D veil is simply a tool that allows us to regulate the amount of emotions we feel by limiting our access to our memories until we can handle all of them. In ascension, we work towards gaining access to all of our other lives (multidimensional selves) so that we become multidimensional. To do this we use multidimensional or higher dimensional tools. Once again we use the 3D veil to regulate that access to our other lives so that we are able to become multidimensional a step at a time. As I mentioned earlier, becoming multidimensional involves accessing the memories of these other lives in other and parallel dimensions, clearing and integrating the emotions involved. We cannot do this all at once … our nervous systems couldn’t handle it. With the veil we can regulate the pace.

In closing, after many years on the ascension path I now understand the value of this veil as a tool for my ascension. I have learned how I can pierce at will and gain access to my Akashic Records as well as those of my clients so I no longer fear it. And I am so thankful that we souls incarnate here on earth added this tool to our earth experience because without the regulatory abilities inherent in this powerful tool, how could we hope to integrate our emotions a step a time and ascend?

Readers Comments

“I have been reading, with some interest, your recent article entitled The Value of The 3D Veil. You may already have come across the trilogy of books written by Neale Donald Walsh – Conversations With God (books 1-3). He has also written two further books called Friendship With God and Communion With God. The first three books flirt with the issue of The 3D Veil, but the final two delve quite thoroughly into the issues. Much of what you have written contains echoes of what has been written by Neale Donald Walsh. You may be interested to take a look at his work if you haven’t done so already. Namaste.” Simon P.

“Your comments in this article are right on. I have about as much as I can handle right now with what is coming through my veil, a piece at a time! I am currently experiencing almost daily changes. Without the veil, I would be truly overwhelmed. With that tool, we are still in control as we access and integrate our own past material. We can control how much we access and clear. Without the tool of the veil, I can see I would lose my focus and be too overwhelmed to pay attention to the lessons and the tasks of each day. However, I am very much looking forward to being clear enough to see a little farther. Again, many thanks for your wisdom and encouragement. Your help is truly appreciated. Much love.” Jerry C.
