Ascension
Excerpt from the Book of Life: Ascension and the Divine World Order
Hello and welcome to the new earth!
Welcome to the most glorious event in the history of this physical universe. Indeed, welcome to the most significant event in the history of all of creation. Although many of you may not have realized it just yet, everyone on this planet has front row seats to one of the most amazing and beautiful creative events ever initiated. All of us currently existing on, in, and around this earth are about to witness the culmination of eons of physical and spiritual effort. A divine plan set in motion at the very start of this creative out breath is reaching its glorious, divinely sanctioned, and spiritually magnificent climax. Now the entire hosts of heaven, and indeed the whole of creation are poised, watching and waiting, to participate in a divine event so magnificent its description is beyond mere words. Prophecies about heaven on earth and even our greatest imaginings of paradise lost do not do justice to the scope and magnitude of this event.
Sound exciting?
It is!
And just what is the event that everyone is so excited about?
Well, it is known by different names in different cultures and religious doctrines. In Christian circles it is known as the creation of heaven on earth. In some eastern religions, most notably Tibetan Buddhism, it is known as the return of the kingdom of Shambhala. The Mayans knew it was coming. They ended their calendar at the approximate conclusion/initiation of it all. It is probably best known in the new age movement where the event is known simply as The Ascension. The word “ascension” literally means to move upward and is a perfect term for this process because, at its root, The Ascension really is about moving up. It is about taking the whole of this physical universe and moving it back up the Ladder of Creation to return it to the rarified and super conscious dimensional levels that exist just beyond our normal work-a-day consciousness.
The Good News is, it is happening right now! Although you may not have realized it yet, everything around you, from the stars and their gasses to the dirt and the dust and even your own physical body (in other words the entire physical universe) is being raised up through a quantum dimensional boundary. This really is Good News because now that we have started this process, it is time to wake up and remember who we are and what we are doing here.
Very good news indeed especially when you consider the fact that as we begin to remember who we are and what we are doing here, the current rather ugly and dysfunctional world that we see all around us will, gradually at first but with increasingly dramatic fuss and upheaval, collapse and be replaced by a shiny new world completely free of the current toxic drama and suffering so prevalent in the reality of this “old world” of duality and dysfunction.
And that is what this book is about.
The Book of Life is in your hands right now so that you can begin to remember what you have done and where we are going. In the pages of this book, you will be introduced to important background information that will allow you to better understand what is happening on this earth and in your own life right now. Most importantly, the contents of this book will help you get your bearings straight. It will help you make sense of what’s happening around you not only now, but in the increasingly dramatic months and years ahead. I won’t lie to you, the process that has been initiated on this planet is powerful and it will take us to a place unlike anything we’ve ever experienced. The bottom line is, we are all returning to our full spiritual power and while this may not sound like much to you right now (as you’ve probably been told all your life how powerless you are), believe me it is. We are a lot more powerful than we have been led to believe and our return to power is a lot more significant than we might think. Unless we get our bearings straight and get control of our own powerful abilities, we will run afoul of our own ability to manifest. The bottom line is, we will become so powerful in our ability to create the world around us that if we do not WAKE UP, we may inadvertently hurt ourselves or our loved ones.
I know this sounds a bit dramatic but it is true. We have to move forward. We have to wake up. But don’t worry. It is not as hard as you might think and I am here to help. In this book, and in all my Lightning PathTM books, I am going to help you remember who you really are, where you came from, and where we are all going. Each book and resource on the Lightning Path will provide a piece of the spiritual, psychological, and sociological puzzle. In this book, you are going to learn some of the basic truths about this planet and our millennial work on it. In this book, you will learn the basics about the multidimensional nature of creation, the nature of this particular level of the physical universe, and the importance of energy to creation. You will learn that while existing in that body of yours (your physical unit (PU) as I like to call it), you exist in the lowest physical dimension of creation. You will learn of the limitations of this low level of physicality (as well as its attractions) and the reason why ascension is such a desired and heralded event. You will learn that ascension is a physical process and quantum event that affects the physical universe that you are incarnated in (and not your soul as some suggest). It is not a difficult process to understand. As you will learn, ascension is simply the physical outcome of raising the vibratory energy of physical matter. It is very much like heating up a bowl of porridge. Molasses, or a hunk of wax. The more energy in the wax, i.e., the warmer it is, the faster the molecules are vibrating, and the easier it is to shape. This is the goal, heating the physical universe so it is easier to shape.
Now, getting to the point where we can ascend matter has not been an easy task. In fact, it has taken several attempts to get the wax “just right” and as you read this book, you will come to understand why it has taken so long. You will learn about our past efforts to ascend this universe and why they failed. As you learn about our past attempts (i.e., Lemuria, Atlantis), you will also learn about our current attempt (Terra) and why this attempt is the successful one. As you will learn it is only now, at the “edge of time,” where we, as Immortal Spirit, can claim to have cooked physicality to just the right temperature and pressure to support the new unfolding that is now occurring all around you.
As you conclude this book, you will also learn about the profound implications of this event and the reason why everyone in this whole cosmos is so excited by what you have achieved on this earth. As you will come to understand, it really is hard to overestimate just how important and significant your accomplishments are. The bottom line is, the successful completion of The Ascension alters our ability (as Immortal Spirit) to experience and create in the physical universe. On the one hand, raising the vibration of physical matter makes it more responsive to the creative intent of spirit. On the other hand, ascending physical reality allows us, as Immortal Spirit, to enter into physicality with the full force of our magnificent consciousness. Taken together, these two things amount to an entirely new unfolding of physical creation.
Now you know that this book is about the physical parameters and implications of The Ascension. However, the book is about more than just the physical parameters of ascension. This book is also about your place in the grand passion play that has been this ascension drama. Questions you have about the meaning of your life (and of life in general), the reasons you incarnate on this planet, and why your life takes on the shapes and contours it does, will all be answered for you by framing them within the context of The Ascension. You will learn, perhaps to your great surprise, that your entire existence on this planet has revolved around this ascension event. That is, incarnating on this planet and participating in the spiritual work necessary to trigger ascension is the only reason you come here. There is no other reason. You are not here as students in some kind of karmic school house, you are not here to be punished, you are not a maturing spiritual entity and you are not engaged (heaven forbid!) in a struggle between good and evil. You are simply an energy worker working diligently to alter the physical laws of this universe to make it a better place for your brothers and sisters.
Now, although I think most people reading this will at least be open to the truths that I am sharing with you, I still think that some of you may have difficulty with the ideas presented here. To totally eject any notion of a retributive God, to leave behind notions of spiritual tutelage or cosmic struggles of good and evil, to rise above limited notions of Darwinian evolution and to consider that one cosmic event, something we have worked towards for eons, is the single most important organizing feature of your life will be a hard pill to swallow. I can understand your difficulty and I know why.
It comes down to your training.
It is because of your socialization.
It is because some people, let us call them the Powers That Be (PTB), have told you an organized set of lies that keep you thinking you are limited, inferior, or descended in some way.
And why are you told these lies?
There is a good reason for it and I explain it in this book in more detail. The important thing here is, if you are having difficulty with the things that I am saying but still want to move forward, control your thinking. Recognize that you have adopted maladaptive patterns of seeing the world and that it is these patterns that are now being invoked by the words on this page. It is these patterns that are blurring your vision or interfering with your concentration. Control your thinking.
If you are having difficulty here, but you do feel the push to move forward, there are two things you can do to help ease your mind. One is to take a step back and go read my Lightning Path Core books. These books are spiritual primers, suitable for all, that will provide you with corrective concepts (i.e., right thinking) and basic spiritual techniques that you can use to ease yourself into this new spirituality. They are not long books but are, in my opinion, packed with useful spiritual information.
The other thing you can do is simple.
Relax and trust.
Know this.
There are no “wrong” choices here. However, there are consequences. You do not have to believe what I say here. You can keep your old patterns of thinking and old spiritual concepts if you want. If you do, nothing bad will happen to you now or in some distant future that wouldn’t have happened to you as a result of your current life circumstances anyway. If you stay on the path you are currently on, you will simply live your life the way you are living it now, and die as a result of the consequences of your decisions (i.e., diet, etc.)
There is no punishment or judgment awaiting you.
If you choose the status quo, you will simply move in a direction set by the things that you do and eventually, when your higher self decides it has had enough, or when your body, as a result of the suppression and repression of your energy systems, deteriorates to the point that it can no longer sustain life, you (and by you I mean your Immortal Soul) will transit out of your physical body (like everyone does) and (if you choose) take another body here or somewhere else.
That is it.
That is all there is to it.
That will be the end of it.
No heaven and no hell, no punishment and damnation, no karmically motivated rebirth, just an eternal life of your choosing. It is just the choice that you are comfortable with, the consequences of that choice, and nothing more. In the end, you are free to live how you want and God and Spirit will love you no matter what you do. However, I will say this. There is a better way. On the other side of the grand illusions of this 3D world that currently envelop your consciousness, beyond all the illusory cosmic battles between good and evil and the vicious struggles for survival that you fight, there is a promised land of spiritual milk and honey. This promised land, this land of compassion and abundance, is just around the corner. As the old world of duality and deception, violence and greed continue to collapse, disintegrate, and finally vanish, this divine world will emerge bright and strong as the new future of this planet and there’s nothing anybody can do to stop it. You can either jump on board the new ship, or stand on the sinking ship while it goes down.
It’s your choice.
But consider this your formal invitation.
Consider this your chance to make “the shift.”
Relax and trust.
Breathe deeply.
Set your intent.
Don’t worry about what you’ve done, or what you didn’t do.
Don’t feel guilty or ashamed.
You’ll have lots of opportunity to make things right if you just make the decision and come on over.
Now if you are still with me, congratulations. If you were trained in the dogmas of religion and/or science, you have overcome the first obstacle, which is considering the possibility that there may be a better way.
Congratulations.
Beyond this is a whole new world of empowering personal and spiritual truths that will, if you stay the course, return you to your original innocence, power, and glory.
Understand there is no hurry.
Take your time.
As long as you are sincere in your willingness to move forward, you will be fine. And besides, in the new world, on the new ship, time is not something you’ll have to worry about.
So relax and trust.
Proceed as fast or as slow as you are comfortable with.
This is your time, so rejoice and accept this invitation.
Remember who you are.
Remember your purpose.
The time for living in darkness is over.
The time for living without power is done.
The time for kneeling is finished.
Stand up now and claim your true power and glory as co-creator and magnificent spark of the glorious Fabric of (God) Consciousness.

Although the concept of the unfolding of creation is easy to understand, nevertheless because it requires a spiritual foundation which I do not provide in this book, it is impossible to adequately define what I mean by an “unfolding” here. If you are interested, this advanced spiritual concept is discussed in The Book of Light. Volume one of The Book of Light is available for free from my website at http://www.michaelsharp.org/
