Ascension, also known as Spiritual Awakening, is a simultaneous increase of Expanding Consciousness that occurs when our spiritual-energetic bodies connect into our physical bodies. Generally, the catalyst for spiritual Awakening is discovered through the process of progressive Kundalini activation that starts in the base of our spine and moves the intelligent energies up the spine and into the Crown. As a human being undergoes the Awakening process, which can progress gradually over many years, that person shifts into perceptions of higher consciousness, which can include increased awareness of energy in the environment, perceiving multidimensional realities, sensing extradimensional entities and feeling a direct communion with God and the interconnected energy that exists between all things.

Ascension is a change in Spectrum of Frequency through Kundalini awakening and a change in the focus of our Consciousness. Ascension is about moving our Consciousness from one reality to another. Since reality is a dimension, what we are undertaking is essentially a full dimensional shift. To go through this shift we must adjust our way of thinking and being to that which is in alignment with our soul purpose and true divine essence.

Ascension is the complex quantum mechanics governing the movement of consciousness through time and space. Consciousness is energy, as well as, energy is intelligent consciousness. When energy shifts, so does our consciousness. Time and space as we have known on planet earth is changing, and we are moving into a future timeline. Through gradual exposure to frequency activation of various stellar bodies, the planet is transformed into higher dimensional and frequency planes of existence. One can consider the multidimensional model of our reality through the study of the Universal Time Matrix and the Universal Tree of Life. The shift of frequency forces all of the planetary inhabitants to shift into the newly exposed planetary frequencies and adapt to the accumulative impact of the shifting energies. All humans have a unique Blueprint and pace to keep aligned with the planetary frequencies. Some will adapt to these frequencies while embodied on planet, while others may not. The choice lies with each of us and is directly our responsibility. We can participate or not with our personal evolution process. All that is required from the Ascension process is participation at the level you are able and that attention and focus is placed on one's heart with a desire to know the true self.

As we develop Self Awareness which is the knowledge of the Self, we are developing the right relationship to the Self, and thus we can better develop our relationship with God Source. We cannot know the highest expression of our nature, until we know the deepest inner contents of our own being. Self study is self mastery and is the pathway to expanding Consciousness and awakening Kundalini.

See Where Can I Start?

The Ascension Stages are about the bringing of layers of light, the Kundalini force existing within the levels of our spiritual bodies (our Multidimensional God Selves) by descending these layers into matter and anchoring them into the physical plane of reality. Simultaneously, Ascension is a shift in energetic Spectrum of Frequency patterns held in a dimensional space which, when absorbed and activated into the layers of the planetary and human bio-energetic field, activates its DNA Silicate Matrix template instruction set. This catalyzes a chain of events that creates a complete transformation and transmutation of various patterns and programs held in the energetic templates of the Human Souls journey within a cycle of evolutionary time. When activated, these patterns begin to shift, re-emerge and clear from the layers of experiences coded into every cell and memory pattern held as an energetic vibration within the bodies. This part of the biological ascension process may manifest physical, mental and emotional Ascension Symptoms as well as the spiritual crisis of the Dark Night of the Soul.

Emotional clearing is the main process we will experience and be acutely aware of as we shift through the Ascension. Since emotional pain and imbalances are responsible for our states of dis-ease, many of us will experience illness or physical releases of pain clearing from our bodies. Some of this clearing is for your karmic, genetic or ancestral soul lineage. Some of us as lightworkers, have chosen to clear states of imbalance for the collective or for a specific group, and will feel this movement of energy transmute through us, as our energetic being is acting as a cosmic filtration system for the greater whole.

Also, as these painful patterns are removed from the soul record, the clearing recodes our DNA so it can hold more light, thus sustaining our new frequency and our state of increasing higher consciousness and multidimensionality. As we hold this greater light and advanced genetic package in our bio-energy field, it enables others through the principle of resonance, to vibrate at the increased frequency rate and activate their own inner potential and divine inheritance towards Ascension.[1]

The 5D Ascension is the original evolutionary schema or Ascension Plan for the planet Earth at the end of the 2012 Timelines or at the end of the Ascension Cycle, or the end of an Age of Humanity. This original plan was aborted by the Krystal Star Guardians, and in my knowledge, I was shifted from my original Ascension mission in 2004 to learn how to best work for the Guardian Aurora teams who were active building Krystal Star hosting architecture for planet earth. In 2005 I was made aware the original plan was aborted and councils disbanded and reassembled to work on the new mission upgrades, called Ascension Plan B.

The elemental re-encryption process of this Avatar of Ascension (AOA) project as a part of the Aurora Guardian Families is an adjustment that actually changes the coordinates of your birth blueprint and its genetic imprint on the flesh. When we incarnated into 3D we had to accept huge miasmic package that is attached to the collective human race mental bodies on this planet. These are called Negative Forms or Shadow or Phantom Sun bodies. These phantom bodies are what connect humans to the timeline of the (911 Timelines), Armageddon Software or the negative alien agenda NAA. The transduction sequence is the definition of when the God Spark connects to the core manifestation body (12 Tree Grid) which projects out the elemental physical manifest body Three Layers of Ego. As we know a major project of the AOA Aurora is to re-encrypt the elemental structure of our bodies, as well as anchor the architecture to build the unity source code platform. This changes the false 911 Timelines architecture and is what the work of this ES community is in laying the template of the Law of One (LOO) in the GSF Ascension Timeline. This timeline exists in the Aurora time continuum. See Aurora Re-encryptions.[2]

4 Planetary Rounds = 1 Planetary Cycles = 1 Astrological Age = Aeon = 26,000 (26,566) years = precession of Earths axis of rotation with respect to inertial space.At the end of every cycle, we become aligned to the galactic core; Stargate portals open (See Planetary Gates, and we are eligible to proceed with an Ascension timeline.

Refers to the precession of Earth's axis of rotation with respect to inertial space. A complete precession cycle (One Astrological Age) covers a period of approximately 25,765 years, the so called Great Platonic Year, during which time the equinox regresses over a full 360. The precessional movement also is the determining factor in the length of an Astrological Age or Aeon. (Note that there are 12 Zodiac Archetypes that are each of the 12 Astrological Ages. We are moving from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius.) The Precession of the Equinoxes is caused by the differential between the gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon on the Earth.

The ancients called this circuit path made around the galactic equator, the Gate of the Gods or The Golden Gate. The Orion constellation sits in the opposite direction, which would be considered the anti-galactic center. The ancients called this circuit path the Gate of Man or The Silver Gate. Ophiuchus and Orion are mirror images of opposing polarity. Together, they represent the ascending path through the Gate of Man meeting at the Gate of the Gods. The many Ascension stages we endure to reach our spiritual Magnum Opus, are the stages of humanity moving through these sequences of consciousness gateways. We all incarnate as earthly beings that evolve through the Precession of the Equinoxes. This takes us through the consciousness realms moving through the ecliptic path of the Gate of Man to eventually complete the evolution cycle, which intersects at the Galactic Center. Once we unify the consciousness experiences through the Gate of Man intersecting with the Galactic Equator at Ophiuchus feet, we are potentially given access to The Golden Gate. This allows us to proceed on the Ascension path to become resurrected eternal spiritual beings unified with the Cosmic Holy Spirit. From our solar system the Galactic Center lies visually along a line that passes through The Golden Gate. This is the Gate to Eternal Life which pours out the Universal Elixir that opens at the end of Precession Cycles. The Golden Gate is located on the circuit path, where the two great celestial spheres intersect together that create four quadrants. The quadrant is one of four circular sectors in the equal division of the planetary sphere. The first great circuit is the path of the Sun through the zodiac made in its annual cycle. The other is the circle path made from the center of our Milky Way galaxy called the galactic equator.The intersection point made between the two circuits located between Taurus and Gemini constellations is known as The Silver Gate. The intersection point of the two circuits between Scorpio and Sagittarius constellations, right under Ophiuchus right foot, is known as The Golden Gate. [3]

Ascension - Ascension Glossary

Many are the sad events and bitter memories that Muslims experience nowadays, and so many are those experienced by them in the past years. Those events have shocked their reality and posed new challenges and many questions whose answers are surrounded by much frustration, defeatism, and blackness.

But, as the present gets darker, some bright flashes tend to dash here and there from the depths of the past. From time to time, these flashes remind Muslims that they are the descendants of great builders of civilization and that darkness no matter how long will surely be followed by daylight.

As we celebrate the anniversary of Al-Israa and Al-Mi`raj (the Night Journey and Ascension of Prophet Muhammad), Muslims in many places of the world suffer afflictions and wars, bloodshed and terrorism, chaos and backwardness, bewilderment and confusion.

There are questions about the end, about persecution of religion and betrayal of its adherents, about mass suicide and the doom of a glorious nation that is supposed to exist till the end of time, if Allah wills.

Such deviation has reached an unprecedented level. Meanwhile, the nations decline continues, in spite of the glimpses of light that try to illuminate the path away from clamor and storms.

Horizontal Connection, Vertical One

Established by the Night Journey, the horizontal connection between different places on earth stresses the principle of symbolic extension of a message that promotes benevolence, peace, and mutual respect.

In his Night Journey, Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) did not go to Jerusalem to subdue it, shed the blood of its inhabitants, or bring it under the sovereignty of Muslims by force. In fact, the Night Journey was a gathering of all Prophets in the presence of the last one of them. It was a meeting of the leaders of one religion and a symbolic reference to a meeting of different nations, races, and cultures.

Having taken place at the beginning of laying the foundations of Islam, the Night Journey was a clear indication that this religion is a religion of peace a religion that encourages its followers to get to know others and build healthy relationships with them. Also, this blessed journey pointed out the fact that Islam is a continuation of the same spring of good, from which past nations drank when they adopted the message of their Prophets and reformers.

Islam did not carry to this good, virtuous land of Jerusalem a message of aggression, oppression, or appropriation. It neither said, We have brought a nation without a land to a land without a nation nor said, We have come with a Prophet to a land without prophets. On the contrary, Islam respected what preceded it and regarded itself as part and parcel of a whole fabric that had been formed throughout the history and geography of preceding nations.

On the other hand, the journey of ascension established a vertical connection between the earth and heaven. It underlined the fact that there is a close relationship between this nation and its Lord. This relationship is manifested by the five daily Prayers.

The five Prayers stand as a constant reminder that the deliverance of humans on earth depends on their good relation with their Creator. Without the guidance and benevolence of Him, the existence of humans on earth would be one of troubles and falls.

In this way, the journey of ascension established a new pillar for any worldly success. In more modern terms, one can say that no civilizational precedence of the Ummah can ever be sound, sustainable, renewable, or creative without taking the spiritual and moral aspects into consideration in all spheres of life. Indeed, the way that the Ummah takes toward progress and prosperity is a way that leads to Almighty Allah.

Spirituals: Core of Civilization

The spirituals and principles of morals along with that close relationship between heaven and earth lay the foundations of human life, with its psychological, cultural, political, social, and economic aspects. A structure that overlooks the spiritual and moral aspects of civilization is definitely lame in theorization, in thought, and in vision. Such a lame structure will lead to lameness in application, even if such lameness was hidden from the very beginning.

Unfortunately, we lost our morals in politics and severed the spiritual ties between heaven and earth. We forgot or pretended to have forgotten a whole Quranic surah named Ash-Shura (Mutual Consultation). Afraid of power, weakhearted scholars turned the principle of shura into a mere piece of information about the history of Islam, rather than a binding principle. In turn, the rulers grew even more tyrannical. They deluded their peoples, imposing upon them immoral and unspiritual interpretations of the principle of shura. They bequeathed the rule just as the houses and other possessions are bequeathed.

At the beginning, the subjects yielded and refused to stand up to injustice, either out of fear or out of greed. Afterward, the people became even unable to straighten their backs and stop bowing, as if they had never stood up straight before. As a result, generations from this nation were born bowing. They grew old and remained bowing, and they entered their graves still bowing. Sadly, they never had the chance to see the sky! Furthermore, morals disappeared and the earnest appeals addressed to peoples conscience came to a standstill.

The ascension toward civilization will never be a success without the existence of these spiritual and moral aspects in all our actions and in every path toward progress, liberation, and above all toward Allah. Neither we nor our offspring will ever gain the least benefit from an alleged civilization as long as murder, terrorism, horribleness, and damage are rocking our homes, without knowledge or clear-sightedness, without rights or morals, and without any reasonable argument!

In fact, we shall never understand the civilizational message of the journey of ascension unless we first understand that building a civilization is neither accomplished in disorder and clamor nor achieved with hands stained with falsehood, tyranny, and aggression.

In conclusion, civilization is a journey (or Israa) that turns a lost, helpless person into a righteous one who aims at reform. It is also an ascension (or Mi`raj) of such a person to spirituality, morality, justice, and freedom. This is one of many messages of the Night Journey and Ascension for both the individual and the community, however the conditions may be.

(Editors note: This article is part of the Advance/SILive.com Black History Month special series, Impact & Excellence, which profiles Staten Islanders who are making important, lasting impact in the community. Do you have someone you would like to nominate for an Impact & Excellence profile? E-mail their name and a brief nomination to tips@siadvance.com.)

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. Thomas Ridges remembers walking to the mailbox at the Bedford-Stuyvesant housing projects to grab his mothers welfare check, a lifeline in an area he self-described as one of the toughest in the city.

He recalls friends being arrested and the faces of victims caught in the crossfire of crime. He also recollects feeling he wanted to make a difference.

Theres got to be something different, theres got to be a way to stop this, Ridges thought at the time, he explained to the Advance/SILive.com.

Decades later, he has ascended to a leadership position at the Richmond County District Attorneys Office the first Black executive in the offices history. He serves as a member of Mayor Eric Adams transition team, has met with city leaders and President Joe Biden on the issue of gun crime and has prosecuted countless high-profile cases throughout his long tenure of public service.

But, before he reached those heights, Ridges was a Brooklyn kid growing up in the 1960s and early 1970s.

His mother, who only completed an 11th grade education, was the smartest person he ever met, said Ridges. With his father not in the picture during his formative years, he said his familys matriarch was his prime motivator.

She said, youre going to pursue your education, youre going to get your education, said Ridges, recalling conversations he had with his mother growing up.

As a teenager, he had intense interest in journalism and reached out to Mike Daly, a former columnist with the Daily News. Daly encouraged Ridges to tell stories of the place where he lived an area so often the location of negative depictions and bring to light the positive stories from the neighborhood.

He did, and it was published in print. At the time, Ridges was just 15 years old.

After attending John Jay High School in Park Slope, he would go to Penn State University in Pennsylvania before returning to New York City because of financial struggles. His persistence, however, was unmoved. Ridges would continue his undergraduate degree at St. Johns University, though monetary problems continued to offer impediments.

Years after he took a civil service test for the NYPD, Ridges said he received a final call from the department after he deferred pursuing police work for educational reasons. This time, Ridges said, he accepted the invitation.

During the summer of 1985, he attended the police academy as a 20-year-old. While being a cop was not something that initially jumped at me, its probably one of the best decisions I ever made, said Ridges.

While pursuing his new law enforcement career, Ridges was able to finish his undergraduate degree at John Jay College in Manhattan before attending St. Johns Law School.

Charles Hynes, the former Brooklyn district attorney who died in 2019, was one of Ridges professors at St. Johns. One day after class when Hynes asked him what he planned to do after his degree, Ridges always quick on his feet said, I was planning to join your office.

And he would. While the role was a pay cut from his job as a police officer, he said, everythings not about money.

Ridges would go on to work in a litany of units at the district attorneys office, including a program that dealt with officers shot, injured or put in danger by gunfire. His rapport with officers as a former cop himself made him an ideal fit for the job.

Years later, he would work in the homicide bureau in Brooklyn, where he would prosecute the men who murdered detectives Dillon Stewart, Robert Parker and Patrick Rafferty.

As his career progressed, Ridges said his motivation remained fixed: I always wanted to help people. As a cop, I got to help people. As a prosecutor, I got to help people.

MOVE TO STATEN ISLAND

Nearly two decades after he began working at the Brooklyn district attorneys office, Ridges received a call from Staten Island District Attorney Michael E. McMahon in 2016. He was offered a leadership position on the executive team.

It was my home borough, Ridges said of Staten Island. Ive lived out here since 1988, so it wasnt like I was going to Staten Island and I was a nomad or something. You know, this is where I was at my kids had been born here, my kids were raised here, went to school here. So it was a chance for me to come home in a vital role.

In accepting the appointment, Ridges became the first Black individual to hold an executive position in the office. He took office on Feb. 1, 2016, the first day of Black history month a significant marker in itself, he said and is currently the executive assistant district attorney in charge of investigations.

It was a chance to, as Shirley Chisholm used to say, have a seat at the table, said Ridges.

He works on long-term investigations for issues ranging from economic to narcotic crimes and has successfully put some of the Islands most notorious dealers behind bars.

Ridges said his upbringing and experience helps inform decisions on cases, which can be a complex science devoid of cookie-cutter solutions.

I think thats the most critical part of being a prosecutor, said Ridges. Being able to look at a case and sift through the weeds.

Sometimes that process involves understanding the underlying motives of crime while also being receptive to victims. Two individuals charged with the same crime, he explained, could require different approaches and subsequent solutions.

While he is mostly out of the courtroom, the leadership role has afforded him the opportunity to use his life experience to provide valuable insight on the approach to Staten Island crime.

That insight is especially useful regarding the ongoing drug epidemic that has devastated the borough for years.

Ridges said he appreciates McMahons understanding that you cant arrest your way out of every problem, especially in the cases of those battling drug use. On the other hand, he explained, being inexorably committed to putting criminals like malicious drug dealers in prison requires forceful focus.

That focus is easier to come by when he is notified of every overdose on Staten Island an unfortunately incessant ping that reminds Ridges of the work that still needs to be done.

I have a saying that we use in the Narcotics Investigation Bureau: Were saving lives one day at a time, said Ridges. It takes a lot of patience.

When Ridges worked as a police officer, he would carry pocket applications for the NYPD exam. It was a practice that caused him to receive frequent pushback.

He was called a sellout by other Black men in the community who accused him of arresting his own people. Id say, listen, have you seen the faces of the victims? They look like me too. Those are my people as well, said Ridges.

Those sentiments, however, would follow him in his work as a prosecutor. Still, his perception remains clear. You have to dissuade them of that and say, if youre not part of the solution, youre part of the problem, Ridges noted.

As a teacher at Monroe College and a former educator at John Jay College, Ridges aims to bestow the same guidance and wisdom he received in his early years in law enforcement. He asks students what changes they want to affect and where they see themselves five years down the line.

His long road, Ridges has learned, can help others realize that seemingly-lofty goals are not out of reach.

He gives tremendous credit to his mother, who unfortunately died before he graduated law school, as being a catalyst for his current success. While she was not able to see the benefits of her support, Ridges said the steps he has taken since growing up in Brooklyn have manifested his mothers hopes and dreams.

This month, he was in the room with the president as he came to New York City to discuss fighting gun violence.

If you would have asked me 40 years ago if I thought that I was going to have the chance to be sitting in a room with the president of the United States, coming from Bedford-Stuyvesant, I never would have thought that was an option, said Ridges.

My message to young people that look like me during Black History Month is, if I can do it, you can do it, said Ridges. Dont dont limit yourself.

Impact & Excellence: Trailblazing prosecutor reflects on his ascension to Staten Island leadership - SILive.com

Thousands of migrants crossing the English Channel in small boats should be flown to a tiny South Atlantic island more than 6,000 kilometres away to process their claims, a British think tank has proposed.

The plan to send thousands of people to Ascension Island is one of the best alternatives should France refuse to take back migrants who make the journey to the UK in small vessels, according to a report by the Policy Exchange.

The group said that all migrants should be relocated abroad to British-controlled territories for processing within 48 hours of arrival if a deal could not be struck with Paris.

The report considered the Channel Islands, close to the coast of France, and British sovereign territory in Cyprus, but said the most obviously suitable distant location was Ascension, a 90 square kilometre island with a population of up to 1,200 and a police force of three.

There are currently no direct flights from the island to the UK while the pot-holed runway is being repaired before its reopening this year. The authors of the report said the weather would be better than alternative sites if those sent for processing were forced to sleep in tents because of a lack of facilities.

The UK government previously carried out an assessment for a processing centre on Ascension, which included the practicalities of transferring thousands of migrants, but shelved the idea.

The opposition Labour party described the proposal in 2020 as ludicrous, inhumane, completely impractical and wildly expensive.

More than 28,000 migrants entered the UK from northern Europe by small boat in 2021. Reported government projections suggest that number could double this year.

Policy Exchange said a radical plan was needed to dissuade migrants from making the crossing. It said the best plan was for naval patrols in the Channel that could escort or take small boats back to the EU.

But failing that, Ascension Island was one of the best alternative locations to investigate the claims of new arrivals despite being cumbersome and expensive.

The proposal would involve opting out of human rights legislation but would still be in line with the UKs international obligations, according to the report.

Small-boat crossings to UK shores from safe countries like France need to be brought back to their pre-2017 level: negligible, it said.

Those found to be refugees would be sent to a safe third country for settlement, according to the report, while others would be deported or sent to any country willing to take them. The right-wing think tank said identifying those countries was not part of its report.

Richard Ekins, a law professor at the University of Oxford and contributor to the report, said: The crisis in the Channel warrants a game-changing and humane solution.

UK's small-boat crisis solvable with deportations to Ascension Island - The National

MILWAUKEE Since the pandemic began, doctors at Ascension Wisconsin have seen more people prioritize health and ask for help with their weight.

One of those patients was Sue Godersky who has struggled with her weight for several years.

"I come from a family where obesity runs thick and deep, no pun," Godersky said.

Godersky hopes sharing her story inspires others to get the help that could change their life. In 2011, Godersky was at her heaviest at 271 pounds.

"I know my cholesterol was up. I just was unhealthy and how could I be a good nurse?" Godersky said.

Godersky's experience has been a rollercoaster marked with success and setbacks. At one point, she lost more than 100 pounds with diet and exercise, but cancer changed the course leading her to gain most of the weight back.

Then before COVID-19 vaccines were out, Godersky's brother caught the virus.

"He was in the hospital for 153 days on a ventilator for five weeks. His only risk factor is obesity no other underlying. Luckily, he lived and neurologically is intact, but will have many side effects," Godersky said.

Godersky said after that she reached out to the Ascension Wisconsin's Bariatrics Program where she connected with Dr. Christopher Weber whose team got to know her and her health history. They got her started on some medications and guidelines for a healthy diet.

It began with frequent visits upfront then moved to an appointment every three months. Godersky also does exercises that fit her needs.

"My cholesterol has improved. My cardiovascular risk is down," Godersky said.

According to Dr. Weber, their department has only gotten busier during the pandemic with every patient citing health reasons as the reason why they want to lose weight. Weber said the pandemic has put a spotlight on how a person's health conditions factor into the severity of something like COVID-19.

"During the pandemic, I've seen reasons for people to gain weight, right? You're not getting as much sleep, you're stressed, all that leads to weight gain. I don't know if that's in their minds as they come here or just that whole environment has gotten them to think more about their health," Dr. Weber said.

Dr. Weber does not expect the flow of patients to slow down soon and added that bariatrics is one of the specialties expected to grow over the next few years.

"Because it's related to so many other health problems, right. You see weight trends going up shortly behind that. Diabetes goes up shortly behind that. Fatty liver goes up. So, all these things are related," Dr. Weber said.

Godersky exceeded her goals. She plans to stick to the doctor's orders. She wants people to know there is no shame in asking for professional help as you would for any other medical condition.

"That was that motivation for me, just to regain my health and make sure that Im around for a long time yet," Godersky said.

Most health insurance plans cover obesity screening and counseling. You should talk with your doctor about health concerns including weight, but you do not need a referral for Ascension Wisconsin's Bariatrics Program.
