Over the years, Archangel Michael and I have had discussions in my personal readings about some general features of Ascension, which now become relevant as the Ascension energies increase in the month of September 2015.

I’d like to share those with you here.

Pre-Ascension Exhaustion

Before we turn to Ascension itself, many of us have been exhausted a good deal of the time over the last year or so.  I asked Archangel Michael about it and he said it was part of the process of letting go of the old Third. It included baggage from all other lifetimes.

Soon the discussion became much broader than simple exhaustion and all of what he said is relevant to this pre-Ascension time.

Steve Beckow: I need to ask you about the exhaustion I’ve felt lately.

Archangel Michael: Yes. It is the feeling of releasing what you have carried around for centuries and centuries and thousands of years. It’s the sense of being so exhausted with the old reality that it simply feels, at times, overwhelming. And it is a feeling that you have need to simply ― you cannot fight it any longer. You cannot top off your wellspring, as it were. It is a matter of surrendering the old and then gently, softly, embracing the new.

SB: How long will this process take, Lord?

AAM: Do you mean how long will it take until you feel anchored in the new?

You will be going through a feeling of euphoria. You will be going through a feeling that perhaps you are not fully anchored. You will be going through even some feelings of disassociation, of not knowing or really caring about what is going on around you. But that will not be a permanent state of being. Already you are feeling more deeply within your body. So, it is simply a period of adjustment. It’ll take about a month.

Allow it to take place. As we say, it is not something you can really physically, emotionally or mentally ― or spiritually, for that matter ― fight. It is something that you have invited in to begin to allow this process of engagement, as it were.

So, when you are exhausted, rest; when you are blissful, enjoy it; when you are feeling full of energy to do, then do. But this adjustment will not be difficult, it will just be different than what you have experienced to date.

SB: All right. And how will I know that the process has ended? What significant milestone will I be able to recognize that says, okay, this part now is over; time to get back to work and the rest?

AAM: The feeling that you wake up not only rested, but blissful; that the, what you have thought of as challenges, as troubles ― it is not that they disappear, but they do not weigh you down; that you have the energy to take on whatever tasks at hand you choose, but that you do not feel burdened, that you simply feel that you are doing almost without doing. It does not feel like a sense of disengagement, but rather higher engagement. (1)

I have moments like these but I cannot say that the state is stable. However I’m sure it will be after Ascension.

Let’s turn now to look at Ascension itself.

Ignition is First

Last year at this time, he discussed the stages of Ascension.

First comes what he calls ignition or the snap, which we now are hearing will happen on Sept. 28, 2015.

Then, in 2017, comes a mass enlightenment which he agreed was equivalent of seventh-chakra enlightenment, called Brahmajnana by Easterners and God-Realization by Westerners.
Some time later comes the liberating experience of consciousness in Sahaja Samadhi. This is the stage that translates into freedom from birth and death, moksha, etc.

Brahmajnana is a temporary heart opening; Sahaja is a permanent.

The discussion began with me asking him when Ascension would happen.

Archangel Michael: It is already under way. You are feeling it.  You are asking for the snap?

SB: Yes, the ignition.

AAM: The humans are not yet fully ready.

SB: Okay. That’s good. But Matthew seemed to imply it wasn’t going to happen until 2017. Is that the case?

AAM: That will be what you can think of as phase two, when the full awareness is anchored within everybody.

SB: So, now, the full awareness is Sahaja Samadhi.

AAM: Well, it won’t be that extreme. But it will be what you think of as your golden age.

SB: Right. Is it an enlightenment…

AAM: Yes.

SB: So is it Brahmajnana?

AAM: Yes.

SB: Oh! 2017 will be Brahmajnana. When will Sahaja occur?

AAM: Shortly thereafter.

SB: Aha! Well, I’ll be darned. So ignition is going to be fairly soon. Is that correct?

AAM: Ignition is well underway. Think of it, you are on the launchpad.

SB: Okay. Very good. (2)

So Ascension has three stages: (1) ignition, which is entry into the first subplane of the Fifth Dimension but is not as extensive an experience of enlightenment as Brahmajnana is; (2) Brahmajnana in 2017; and (3) Sahaja Samadhi “shortly thereafter.”

Sahaja Comes Later

In 2013 Archangel Michael told me that lightworkers were already Fifth Dimensional. I confess I have no evidence of it.

I asked him how that could be if we were not in Sahaja. This was the first discussion in which he distinguished the subplanes of the Fifth Dimension and the fact that Sahaja did not occur as soon as we entered the first subplane of the Fifth Dimension, which I call the “vestibule.”

Steve Beckow: Well, Lord, how could I be Fifth Dimensional and not have had Sahaja Nirvikalpa Samadhi?

Archangel Michael: You are looking to the Fifth Dimension as simply being one place or another….

As I have said there are many levels to each dimension, and it is impossible really for you – and when we say you we mean you personally and also all of humanity – to be anywhere else at this time other than the Fifth Dimension.

So you are in preparation for your opening for your bliss. …

As you know what you are doing is becoming the fully awakened, aware and integrated wholeness of your being. (1)

The Divine Mother also described Ascension for us and confirmed that Sahaja Samadhi comes later, some time after our initial Ascension or ignition.

Steve Beckow: Can you talk a little bit more about the sudden aspect of Ascension, please?

Divine Mother: [Ascension] is that feeling — well, it is more than a feeling; it is a knowing. It is ignition — it is that feeling that you have been switched on to a different frequency, and it happens suddenly. …

SB: But that is not Sahaja Samadhi, Mother, is it? When does Sahaja Samadhi occur?

DM: It occurs with a more gradual awakening and lifting up. So there is the abrupt “I am not the same,” then there is the working and the anchoring, the integration, then there is another jump, and another jump, and another jump. And you don’t know it — well, some of you do — but you are leap-frogging. And then you will be there.

SB: Now, are those jumps equivalent to sub-planes?

DM: You can think of it as sub-planes, dimensional sub-planes, yes. (2)

So there may be people who believe that upon ignition and entry into the Fifth Dimension, we’ll have escaped from the wheel of birth and death, be liberated, etc.

Well, no, just as, on the other side of life, true residence in the Mental Plane (the equivalent of the Fifth Dimension) does not come upon immediate entry into the first subplane, so here true residence (with the advent of Sahaja Samadhi) in the Fifth does not come until one or more subplanes into it.

After Ascension

Now if we shift out focus to after Ascension, apparently we’ll need time to orient, assimilate and integrate.  For one thing, we’ll feel so vibrant that we may overlook the physical body’s continuing need for at least a modicum of rest and sleep.

Archangel Michael: It is important to take the time to adjust yourself, to get used to a different sense of being. And then to be refreshed.

Now, I have to tell you, and, yes, you can share this with your readers as well, the sense of physicality and being in the physical body, when you are in the Fifth Dimension, is very different insofar as so many of you have been exhausted. And it is because you have been getting used to holding these vibrations and frequencies.  …

But when you are in the Fifth, you will feel… so full of vibrant energy. You will feel that you could go for days without sleeping, and just go on sheer energy.
There will be a greater sense of well-being, that your body is humming. Every person is progressing at a different rate. This is an individual process. But the general statement is your organs, your brain, your functions, your bodily functions, your circulation begin to function in alignment with the perfection of your design.

Now, if you were to take [the chemical] Speed, you would think, “Oh, I can go for days, and I don’t need to sleep.”

What we are offering is brotherly advice. When we said you need a holiday, we meant it. So take time to sleep, to rest, because what you also will experience in a rest state and in dream state is very conscious sleeping and expansion and what we would call exaltation.

So don’t skip sleep. As your body is adjusting, even though you think you are in the fifth, you are home, your new home, and you can go forever, be gentle with your bodies.

So take time to rest. Take time to lie — yes, even at this time – bring a blanket, lie on the beach, stare at the stars, feel the sun on your face and the magnificence of the blue sky. (4)
