As we continue to try to wrap our minds around the term “spiritual vibration,” it seems there are a lot of phrases that attempt to label or identify a kind of both qualitative and quantitative unit of measurement by which to classify and categorize sentient spirits. There is the notion of infant to old souls, and there is the notion of spiritual maturity versus immaturity, or spiritual attainment versus non-attainment. And finally, there is the notion Creator appears to prefer in the form of “divine alignment.” Ultimately, there is also the grand notion of good versus evil. Are these terms attempting to label the same thing, but from different angles? What they all have in common is that they do represent a form of classification, a form of measurement. And when we possess this kind of nomenclature, what seems to inevitably follow is a form of classification. A means by which to determine fitness for inclusion or exclusion from group membership. When it comes to qualifying for Ascension, can Creator discuss how best to label and attempt to understand what it takes to qualify for Ascension?

It is unfortunate that the concept that seems ill-defined and elusive, and very much in need of more precise definition, is so all-important in all things, but this is a classic dilemma of human existence, not being able to see the forest for the trees. That is an outstanding aspect of the dilemma of human existence as experienced during your physical incarnation as an earthling, coming in as a helpless infant and having to learn everything from scratch, aside from what you can pick up intuitively, and even with the latter being hampered by genetic mutation to hold back humanity. The first thing we would say is that physical well-being and physical health are not overriding critical factors in readiness for Ascension. This is quite important because of the widespread suffering from chronic illness and infirmity, particularly among the older population. We do not want people to despair that perhaps they are over the hill, so to speak, and because they might have a malady, or perhaps several maladies constraining their mobility, causing unpleasant symptoms and hampering their function, will not be candidates to ascend. The two things are quite different in terms of the mechanisms involved in the Ascension process and the overall purpose. The best way to think of this is that you are much more than your physical existence reflects. We have said before, "The soul is vast and much more capable than any attributes demonstrable by someone in the middle of a physical incarnation can represent." You are greatly restricted while in physical form because you must fit within the limitations of a physical organism, the human body, and that immediately constrains you to the physical plane and the heaviness of energy in the physical limits and fragility and vulnerability of your container. For one thing, it is aging every day, and one day the clock will run out on the length of life possible. There are many demands as well for care and feeding of that physical container that become paramount in terms of how you spend your time and what your goals and responsibilities must include so you can safeguard your well-being, and keep going, and do all that is necessary to compete with fellow beings in the physical, to have a place in things in a way to obtain financial security and a safe harbor to inhabit. This creates a mindset and perspective of serving the imperatives of the physical existence as the highest of priorities. The advent of an Ascension for Humanity represents a true departure because the need for physical existence will end and, in that sense, you no longer will be needing the physical body, a residence in a safe neighborhood, a refrigerator stocked with groceries, and a bank account to fall back on as needs arise, and there is no imperative to obtain help from others in the way of goods and services to keep your life going. If you think about it in terms of life and death, we would remind you that every death is successful. The adage, "You can't take it with you," is very constructive in that regard. The lowliest amongst you, the least capable, the most humble, even the beggar in the street who possesses nothing but rags to wear can undergo death with 100% success. So we are emphasizing this to reinforce the awareness that your physical status and all those things it might depend on will be left behind through the Ascension process and are not necessary to leave the body, just as with physical death where you leave the body and move on with your consciousness. So really, the process of Ascension is something that will happen beyond the physical, so it is more understanding and making preparation for what is needed to allow the event to occur personally, just as with death of the body, which does not usually happen before it is your time and is a planned event in conjunction with the higher self and your soul as a whole. So every death is a decision. It might not involve the conscious awareness at all, but that does not mean you have no say. What matters is your soul journey to begin with, so what serves the soul will serve you in all aspects. So being ready for Ascension, and then having it commence for you personally, will be very much akin to reaching the end of life, as you are used to doing, and seeing by those around you something mysterious will happen behind the scenes, and then one day you take your last breath. In this case, there will be a physical ascent into the sky you will be called to begin, and will be preceded by an inner knowing and acceptance because by then all levels of your being will be informed and onboard and you will be in a vibrational state quite ready to participate. It is not something you can force or have to work at. Just as with physical death, it will happen naturally, so there is not a trick you need to know or a specific process or ritual you need to follow. As with physical death, there is a state of readiness so there will be an inner peace and inner calm, a feeling you are in a good place, at least mentally and emotionally, and if you think about the many accounts of people facing death, perhaps from a long-term fatal illness looming over them, but having reconciled with the inevitability and made their peace with others, they may end up not just resigned to their fate but welcoming it with equanimity and grace, particularly if they have had a long and full life and believe there is something good in their future still awaiting them, so that their passing is simply a necessary transition needed to begin the next chapter. So this inner calm and peace representing a readiness and acceptance of Ascension is truly no different than coming to terms with your mortality. It need not be a big and scary thing. This is where faith comes in. If you believe in us and believe in the teachings, that you have an immortal soul, you need not fear anything, including whether Ascension does or does not even happen, in your case, during your lifetime. The ultimate resource at your disposal is the cultivation of a loving perspective in all aspects of your day-to-day existence. Looking for the good in things, and wanting good things for others and for the self, will bring you into divine alignment, and the more thoroughly and passionately you can do that, the higher your vibration will become and the better prepared you will be to leave the physical in a joyous process of advancement.
