Ascension/is: Difference between revisions

The reunion with God in the ascension, signifying the end of the rounds of karma and rebirth and the return to the L<small>ORD</small>’s glory, is the goal of life for the sons and daughters of God. Jesus said, “No man hath ascended up to heaven but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man.”<ref>John 3:13.</ref> By the salvation, ‘Self-elevation’, the conscious raising up of the Son of God within her temple, the soul puts on her wedding garment to fulfill the office of the Son (Sun, or Light) of manifestation. The soul is made worthy by Jesus’ grace to be the bearer of his cross and his crown. Following the initiatic path of Jesus, she ascends through the [[Christ Self]] to her Lord, the I AM Presence, whence she descended.  

The ascended masters teach that it is not necessary to actually raise the physical body in order to ascend. The soul itself may take flight from the mortal coil and be translated through the ascension process, while the physical remains may be consigned to the sacred fire through the ritual of [[cremation]]. Although there are instances of a physical ascension noted in the scripture (Enoch and Elijah), the physical ascension does require the balancing of between 95 and 100 percent of one’s karma; whereas through the [[dispensation]] of the [[Aquarian age]] the Great Law exacts the 51 percent balance of karma, thereby enabling the soul to balance the remaining 49 percent after the ascension. In this case, the ascension process is almost never a physical one, but it is just as real and can be observed by the clairvoyant or those caught up in the extrasensory perception of the [[Holy Spirit]].
