Ascending, an Illusion

Written by Mathew Naismith

I wish to affirm with my readers in where I am coming from with what I write. I’m not into ascending, I have no need to ascend and I certainly have no desire, we are already ascended beings within a descended state of consciousness. There is a saying that goes like this; “the grass isn’t always greener on the other side of the fence”.

We are at present in this descended state of consciousness, on one side of the fence, but we are assumingly aware it’s greener on the other side of the fence, an ascended state of consciousness.  Once we ascend to this other side of the fence we then realise how green it was on the other side of the fence from where we were in our descended state, you realise you were always in an ascended state.  What is causing us from knowing this is in what we desire as opposed to our needs.  

All our needs are on this side of this descended conscious state side of the fence however what we desire is always on the other ascended conscious state side of the fence.  There is absolutely no need to go onto the other side of the fence, our desiring ego wants to be ascended so we are unable to see what we already have and it’s certainly unable to see we are already ascended.  Actually there isn’t another side of the fence; it’s an illusion of the ego. The ego of course is going to want something more glamorous no matter what side of the fence it’s on, so to do this it’ creates an illusion.  It’s actually the other side of the fence that is the illusion; it’s supposed to give us ascension when we are already ascended.

So we definitely have a need to change what we are doing  so ascending to the other side of the fence seems the only way, what else is there to do?

If the collective realised they are already ascended beings in a descended state of consciousness this reality would change quite dramatically and quite automatically because by realising we are ascended beings in the first place we would again automatically ascend to a higher consciousness.  One of the worse things we do to stop this automatic ascension is idolisation which fixates us to a singular ideological standardised view, by doing this we presume our ascension is somewhere else other than where we are.  This of course gives us the illusion; to ascend we need to go to the other side of the fence.  If you like, God is everywhere so there is no other side of the fence, God is where you are right now and so is your ascended self , all you have to do is truly realise this.

Once you truly believe you are already ascended you become a lot more accepting of your present situation even if it’s being in a descended state of consciousness, you become humble and a lot more at peace with the world. Yes we and others will act inappropriately at times compared to our known ascended self, that is a part of the experiences of being in a descended state of consciousness. If we wish to change this all we need to do is remember who we really are, an already ascended being however there are people like myself who are accepting of our descended state of consciousness but not to the point of our own or anyone else’s harm.  I’m quite accepting of my ignorant self in this descended state because I don’t see myself as being destructive, just experiencing.  

Yes we need, as opposed to desire, to collectively change our ways if we want to create a better existence, that would seem to be a must.
