Appreciation and Application = Ascension
Exploring a pathway to ascension steeped in gratitude and wisdom.
Appreciation of your experiences, “good” or “bad”, is an acceptance of your ability to attract your reality.
It is an acceptance of your responsibility to create your world, the child birthed from your beliefs. You, being the nexus point of everything in your reality, have the last and final say over what you experience. According to the Hermetic Law of Cause and Effect:
"Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause…”
Whatever you experience, you are choosing to experience whether you are aware of it or not. This ongoing story, filled with causes and effects seen and unseen sums up your life. Seeded by your beliefs, you attract your reality. Your reality bases itself on the vibration of your thoughts, beliefs, and actions.
Appreciation of your experiences is not giving credit to a higher power. You are that higher power. You are a spiritual being having a human experience. The human body is bound by this realm but the soul is eternal. You, being all-knowing having fallen under the illusion of ignorance, are on a constant journey in the pursuit of knowledge. An intuition that is always right coupled with your imagination filled with limitless creativity is all you need to change your beliefs and chart your course to self-salvation. I speak of salvation in the sense of saving oneself through self-reliance to the highest degree. A degree of trust too vast to measure. This comes with appreciating experiences favorable and not so favorable. Understanding the occult saying that “I was never here.”
As a higher spiritual being, you are using a vehicle, the physical body to go through the process of knowing yourself. To experience. To be consumed by these experiences, choosing them based on tastes like food is human behavior, a world bound within this life. You are much more than that. Much more. An indifference to the nature of your experiences is key to an objective creation of your reality. An artist creates an original piece free from judgment. Trusting in one's ability simply to create, to carry an idea from the unseen into the seen realm. You see, accepting your current level of the vibratory emanation of your thoughts is the precursor to knowledge extraction. In any and every experience you have is a wealth of information that has limitless roads extending from it. These roads are what you choose to do with the knowledge.
Applying the knowledge you’ve gained is gratitude in motion.
Transformed into wisdom, this application shows that you trust your intuitive guidance enough to lead your life, blaze your trail, chart your map of the universe, and trust your path. Into the portal of your reality, the open legs of the material realm, you place your seed of intent. This seed, carried with appreciation is what creates a reality with a positive feedback loop. In mundane terms, this could be deemed learning your lessons. Appeasing the taskmaster, Saturn. However, spiritual beings are above any and every creation. When applying knowledge, a spiritual being intentionally creates. Intentionally becomes the cause, not the ignorant victim of the effects.
Wisdom, gained through knowledge applied is a pillar in your mind. A foundational experience, that corresponds with universal principles, self-knowledge, fulfilling the universal intent to know itself. Through knowing yourself, and trusting your natural skills, talents, and abilities, you create an original and individuated reality- one that cannot be duplicated. In material reality, you place your spiritual fingerprint. This act is your contribution to the world, to the collective unconscious, to the grand scheme of self-knowledge spoken of the world over through mythology and the hero’s journey.
Ascension to higher states of awareness becomes inevitable - an awareness of yourself, your abilities, and your increased willingness to let go.
Most associate ascension with the death process. In Norse mythology, the valkyries would guide the souls of the dead to Valhalla. Souls are usually depicted as leaving the body after the person takes his or her last breath. This ascension also corresponds to higher states of awareness. The physical realm is a congelation of higher spiritual realms. The lower the vibratory rate, the more solid and physical something becomes.
As you can see, there is more “space” between the atoms of gas. Hence, why spiritual and unseen forces often scare many. What does not take up physical space is unknown.
In reference to appreciating knowledge and applying it, gaining wisdom in return, your consciousness of reality expands. This expansion of consciousness is the ever-increasing enlightenment that defines spirituality and the pursuit of self-knowledge. This process can also be likened to death. Appreciating the old, or your life, for what is worth. All that came with it, the “good” and “bad”. Then the acceptance and agreement with the transition process is applying the knowledge. Paying the death toll, which is letting go of the old and making space for the new. Ascension is the transition from one state of consciousness into another. One life form into another. Just as the snake is reborn through shedding its skin, so can you. Is the lowly serpent more advanced than you? Or are you connected?
“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,” - Romans 12:2
Your willingness to let go is what brings new life and puts to rest the old.
Appreciate your experiences. Apply the knowledge gained from your experience, seeking wisdom. Ascend into higher states of consciousness and self-knowledge.
I used to hold this view but no longer do, but I appreciate your process and how you embrace discerning your world and reality. Thank you for sharing who you are in this way. I look forward to getting to know you through your writings here.
