Editor’s Note: While searching for interesting articles around various masters of their profession, I stumbled upon an interesting website which describes one man’s perspective an an “Ascended Master.” What also is of interest is that he claims to have been born with additional knowledge which is normally discarded during the incarnation cycle. I’m curious as to what additional information he may be able to unveil, so perhaps this is a site I might view more frequently. Here’s an excerpt from his materials. Very thought provoking, enjoy!
What is an “Ascended Master”?
Literature, the Internet and new-age teaching are littered with articles, messages and teachings of these so called “enlightened ones”. Beings who protect the earth-plane, who bring truth and wisdom and who aided in the evolution of mankind. While the teachings elevate these beings to an incomprehensible degree of spiritual awareness they also teach that we are capable of an equal degree or wisdom, power and understanding. I will teach you something different. Whether or not I am right is for you to decide.
An Ascended Master is a being that has reached a sufficiently high level of understanding and spiritual awareness that they are capable of remaining on the earth-plane by choice and not by necessity. Whether they attained that degree of wisdom in this or in a previous incarnation is irrelevant. Some Ascended Masters return to instruct and to share. It is involvement on the earth-plain that makes such a being an Ascended Master. Beings of similar or greater experience who choose to not intercede directly with humanity are not Ascended Masters but would have another title. Titles beyond this point are irrelevant as well. A word title cannot begin to encompass the wisdom and experience of such a being.
Am I an Ascended Master? While I have been called an ascended master by others, I am not comfortable with the term. As stated elsewhere in this document, I am simply a man sharing from his experiences, nothing more, nothing less. I entered this lifetime with a bag full of knowledge and memories. Most of us enter in similar fashion however we gradually exchange or trade this knowledge for tools that are more suited and useful for this reality. This affords us the ability to acquire survival skills necessary to preserve our physical existence. Somewhere in this process I missed my queue and held greedily onto my baggage. While the flavor and intensity of physical life struggled valiantly to cash out my knowledge bank and establish its own account it failed in the exchange. The result was largely an unenviable position. I found myself neither human nor divine. Something different. Different may be good however different is also lonely. The book of Ecclesiastes teaches that with great knowledge comes also great sorrow. I am reminded often of my failings and still have much to learn.
What is Truth?
Truth is knowledge that when acted upon elevates the practitioner to a higher degree of understanding, usefulness or awareness.
Understanding is the conscious awareness of the relationship between thought, action and consequence. Usefulness is the degree to which our service or application of knowledge elevates our physical and or spiritual relationships. Awareness is the sense of interconnection of all things. When a child turns on a light, he or she sees the result. To see the electrons in the wiring, the breaker box, the utility poles, transformers and the generator is to be aware.
Many claim to have or to know the truth, as if the truth were a thing to be possessed. They then use this possession as a tool to enslave others. It is in our nature to seek and to cultivate truth and many follow blindly the perverted orations of those who profess an abundance of it. Religion is not alone in its claim to possession of the truth. Even atheist espouse a superior knowledge and hold in disregard those who think differently. To be certain of ones beliefs is to close ones mind to other possibilities. Our world is nothing if not infinite possibilities and to willfully ignore the same it to sever our potential for spiritual growth.
Life defined in biological terms would be the complex assembly of organic material, which exchanges energy with its environment and is capable of varying degrees of animation. In this sense, a thing can be considered “alive” even if it is not aware of being so.
Here is a truth that may be difficult for some of you. I have yet to encounter anything that does not possess at least a limited degree of awareness. How do I know this? This is part of the energy that I exchange with my environment. Please stay with me even though this may be difficult to believe or comprehend. In a very real sense, there is an interaction that occurs between an observer and the observed. If you are aware of the presence of a rock, a tree, a blade of grass or a squirrel, you have interacted with and exchanged energy with that object. Your physical proximity is immaterial in this issue. The act of conscious observation creates a conscious link between both parties in which subtle energy is exchanged and the reality of both is altered. You cannot produce an environment so sterile as to negate this interaction. Conscious awareness can be described as sticky or magnetic in that it leaves a lingering conscious residue on the thing observed. The greater the attention paid to the object, the greater the degree of conscious magnetism. In this way relics and icons become holy. Inanimate objects possess consciousness of this type. All biological life forms possess a self-sustaining consciousness with varying degrees of self-awareness. Life, awareness, consciousness, all are subtle shades of complex strings of energy which intersect at inconceivable angles.
I once experienced a deep and profound kinship with an injured woodchuck before it met its demise under the wheel of an approaching car. The strength of the bond was so intense that I leapt violently into the air and spun as if I were the one who had been struck. On another occasion I felt the remorse of an aged oak tree who had never felt the awareness of successful offspring even though it itself had survived for more than a hundred years.
If you can perceive a thing, it is conscious. If it is conscious, it has life. If it has life it is capable of exercising self-consciousness to evolutionary degrees. An evolved, self-conscious being exhibits a high degree of not only self-awareness but also awareness of the consciousness of all things. This is the oneness, or unity that is sought by seekers of enlightenment.
It is possible to develop a high degree of self-consciousness that does not consider the awareness of other beings or objects. Introverted self-conscious beings are what are commonly known as evil.
What is reality?
What do you want it to be? The events of a dream are real within the context of a dream. As the consciousness changes states, that which is perceived as reality changes as well. Does your current perception negate what you previously experienced? As the butterfly emerges, the caterpillar ceases to exist however the cocoon that gave it shelter remains. So it is with reality. Your current reality is the result of an interaction between conscious perception and the field of thought responsive energy in which we all exist. Our cocoon if you will. Our world is a vast ocean of energy which collapses into what we perceive as matter at the intersection of conscious intent. As long as the consciousness remains focused the event remains solid. As the attention is diverted however the event dissolves once again into various frequencies of energy. Does this seem odd? Consider this. As we share this time together you are immersed in a field of electromagnetic energy in the form of radio waves. Countless stations competing for the same air space. Without the proper means of perception you would spend your entire life oblivious to their existence. When properly focused however the music is heard. Musicians, poets, writers speak with clarity as the radio signals interact with your senses and you become immersed in a world that moments ago lie beyond your perception. As the radio is turned off however that which was previously real vanishes into the field of energy from which it sprang. Reality therefore is nothing more than the momentary copulation of consciousness and energy.
It is possible through properly tuning the consciousness to override the collapse of the wave function of energy into solid forms. At this level of awareness the observer ceases to experience shapes and forms but is exposed to the enduring and underlying substrate that is the foundation of all that is.
This is the realm of miracles.
