According to the dictionary ascension is: the act of changing location in an upward direction.

Thanks to “Lordmerc” member of the Spiritboard.net for his answer to this question.

We all exist in many dimensions of consciousness at the same time. Ascension is the process of bringing in the light of our multi dimensional selves into the Earth plane. It is a process of raising matter into Spirit. It is the Alchemists ideal of turning lead into gold.

As we bring in more and more of our higher consciousness and higher selves into the Earth plane, this has an effect on "mass consciousness" by helping to raise the flowering consciousness of mankind. So, Ascension is primarily an act of service to humanity assisting in bringing the light of unconditional love, brotherhood, sisterhood and co-operation more and more into the human dimension and human consciousness.

The Earth, as a conscious being, also is Ascending and in the process of becoming a sacred planet.

There are beings here that have incarnated to assist this process in service to planet Earth and Mankind. These beings are starting to realize this higher purpose they are here to accomplish. All who incarnate at this time have to agree to the process of being "veiled" from their true nature. Even the Christ had to work through the delusions of the Earth plane before realizing his "Christ consciousness" and taking up his ministry.

Many people are hearing and responding to the inner call to take up their higher purpose and "ministry" at this time as we approach the window of 2012 when this process will accelerate.

Many are responding and taking their place as light workers to help accomplish the Divine Plan. These individuals are now coming together in groups in order to combine and amplify their unique contributions and abilities to further accelerate the process.

Much is happening now on the inner planes. More and more light is coming through into the Earth plane.

Anyone incarnate at this time can take up this work. Those who have incarnated especially to do this work have always sensed a strong inner urge and a knowing they are here to do something different. They feel sometimes alone and as if they don't "belong" here. They want to go home. Eventually they hear the inner call and chose to respond or not.

These are exciting times. Many are able to assist in bringing in and anchoring this higher light and divine consciousness. Are you hearing this inner call too? How will you respond? There is much work to do.

Did you know that there are many metaphysical books on the internet that can be read or printed with lots of great information that are FREE.

Are You Seeking the Light or Just Dancing With the Dark?

For your consideration a version which is a direct translation from ancient Aramaic to English, without the Greek, Latin, and 17th Century English of King James in between.  See the difference in the wording in much more positive verbage.

LORD’S PRAYER
(Direct translation from Aramaic into English.)

O Cosmic Birther of all radiance and vibration!

Soften the ground of our being and carve out a space within us where your Presence can abide.

Fill us with your creativity so that we may be empowered to bear the fruits of your mission.

Let each of our actions bear fruit in accordance with our desire.

Endow us with the wisdom to produce and share what each being needs to flourish.

Untie the tangled threads of destiny that bind us,
as we release others from the entanglement of past mistakes.

Do not let us be seduced by that which would divert us from our true purpose,
but illuminate the opportunities of the present moment.

For you are the ground and the fruitful vision, the birth-power and fulfillment,
as all is gathered and made whole once again.
