A practitioner asks: “Is the plan for the ascension to happen in the lifetime of some of us; for example, those younger than 50?”

While this is possible, at the current time, the timeline appears to be somewhat longer than would allow that to happen. There are some who may still be around who would be elderly at that point, so this is not at all impossible. It will not matter whether you are here or in the light because all beings of the human lineage will be involved with the ascension regardless of their location. The place to avoid would be to be in limbo, in the lower astral plane, but we know there will be a concerted healing outreach of great magnitude as part of the final preparation for ascension, so it is unlikely that could befall any of you listening to this answer.
