Idiot...
I would be an idiot.....apparently.
If you have a desire and don't see it as just a desire...than by all means fulfill it....burn it out.....you will come back to 'the truth" or whatever you want to call it. ultramundane, The Infinite, etc,..
Smoke your weed....dance with the ladies, molest your sister, whatever.....no judgement exists once you know thats its all sittin still.
Perception changes once you change within.... There is no ending, so I don't see any promises of anything....just a choice for a direction.....Alignment. Focus....See past all this shit, beliefs, experiences, stresses, etc.... Ascension is the practice of bringing your awareness back onto your knowing of that ultramundane,The Infinite, GOd, Chocolate, whatever the fuck you want to call
your own highest conception of Good
The Art of Ascension is simply noticing when your mind,imagination, thoughts, .. are moving. You bring your awareness back to focusing on "the Ascendent", thats what we call it here..., by saying an ascension attitude when you notice your mind moving. like the waves on the ocean....thought comes in...say an Ascension attitude(First sphere weekend you will recieve Four attitudes)...follow it to the ascendent.....another thought comes in repeat.... no time to judge,stress worry, life will probably change, eh? Before one is validated in "knowing" the ascendent, from someone who has done this before, the Ascension attitudes are just tools to get you there.
Anyway....thats how it goes.... your imagination having puppies.... who cares. Bring it all back to the Ultramundane baby........
Life will Change more than you will ever know.....
Appreciation grows....Praise grows....Love Grows......Compassion Grows...These are the only things that stay if you keep practicing....all else falls away. That is my experience. The Utramundane emits this woven fabric naturally......everything else is on the surface.
What you focus on Grows
CHOOSE! Always choose...be conscious people. put your awareness on the one, find it first......dont think you know it......it may be just a belief or an experience. This thing really is "UltraMundane" your ego is brilliant...thats why a teacher with lineage is so important....
take care
