Chapter 5: Transcending Usury, Ownership, and Patterns of Non-Love

 

Today we write about patterns of usury and non-love. The human species has fallen into the belief that somehow being used and owned is love; and that owning and using others is also love. This was not the original casted nature of the Red Nations humans or Grand Masters as they were seeded upon Earth; although you could say that patterns of usury, ownership and non-love were embedded in a hidden language within the DNA. As long as the hidden language remained buried, it did not act out in the dance of life. If the hidden language surfaced, suddenly Red Nations humans and Grand Master relations allowed themselves to be used and owned and perceived this as a loving thing to participate in.

 

How exactly does this work? First, we must define what love is in Red Nation terms. Love is ongoing blessings that flow between the two or the many. The blessings contain the love of the human hologram, the love of Mother Earth and the love of soul combined. Love sustains life, health, wellbeing and longevity.

 

When the communion was run in an ongoing and sustainable manner within red nation tribes, those existing in this type of flow lived 1,000 to 2,000 years upon the physical plane, as the love supported the regeneration of crystalline biology. The love also sustained Mother Earth and those regions that the Red Nations’ peoples lived also regenerated, providing amply for their populations along with all other kingdoms residing upon the land. The love also sustained soul such that soul could continue to incarnate and dance with the human species.

 

Souls upon Earth are not innocent. The souls that came to dance with the humans that were seeded from Sirius had an alternative purpose. Over time, they began to strip love from the dance of communion between humans and send this love to Sirius. This was to propel Sirius upwards in vibration but at the expense of humans upon Earth. As this occurred, the usury and ownership language hidden in the DNA was drawn to the foreground and then began to act out in tribal life. How does usury and ownership alter the dance of life? This is an interesting topic all of its own that we are going to thoroughly explore in this chapter.

 

Ownership Signatures   

 

Long ago, Asur’Ana wrote about ownership patterning that occurred between the nonphysical and physical. These signatures are a part of the hidden language in all human DNA upon Earth. The original set of signatures brought forth through Asur’Ana long ago were not a complete set, and all signatures of ownership whether they be earth related or multidimensional have been mapped and are available for review in the Temple of Ownership for all ascending sentient beings at this time in history.

Chapter 4: Transcending Imbalance

 

Assessing Algorithmic Patterns of Disease  

 

This chapter is devoted to patterns of imbalance within the energy flow and nervous system of the biology of the body. Imbalance leads to disease along with discord in the dance of life. Balance on the other hand leads to unity and equality in the life expression of each choosing to ascend at this time in history. Imbalance therefore is an important pattern to transcend to assure the health, wellbeing and continued ascension of each choosing to master in this lifetime.

 

Energy Dynamics of Initiations         

 

Much of Chapter 5 in Workbook 1 was devoted to explaining the ascending energy field of those mastering from 3,000 to 9,000 DNA segments this lifetime. As the field holds together in balance, the field rotates effortlessly and then does not lose chi and can build in energy flow to expand and take initiations in ascension. An extremely balanced field is required to take any initiation.

 

Initiations are mastered as one embodies certain segments of DNA and then goes on to open the moving energy systems associated. Each segment of DNA of roughly 500 segments beneath 3000, and 800 segments for those mastering above 3000 segments will trigger an initiation when the field expands. The expansion of field is transcribed from the segments of DNA embodied in the etheric vessel. Each layer of DNA has transcriptions for the etheric cells, the physical cells and the energy flow of the field at large.

 

So, what exactly occurs in an initiation? For each layer of moving energy system that is to expand for the 500 or 800 segments one has embodied in the etheric vessel, the field spins up in rotation and puffs outward in size and to the degree it should given the level of mastery one is working upon. Angels specific to the initiation process descend for a time to aid in the spinning up and rebalancing of field necessary to stabilize at the next octave higher in vibration and associated music as well as more greatly expanded energy flow. The music of the entire field alters at this point and raises in key to the next octave of sound for the entire orchestra that one’s molecular structure and the spin of one’s chakras produces.

 

Often initiates feel “in bliss” or extremely energized but calm as the field expands into an initiation phase. Generally, the entire process takes only a few hours, and then the field settles down in rotation and music to the level that the body can sustain naturally and of its own accord. Field rotation is caused by the movement of the kundalini through the core of the body; the more kundalini that can run, the higher the field rotation can spin and the higher key or pitch of music that one’s orchestra of movement creates.

7. Blessings for Absolute Love and the Lavender Ray of Transmutation

 

From the Amethyst Quartz Kingdom

 

It is the Amethyst Quartz Kingdom along with all other minerals that hold the lavender tones of creation at this time of global ascension. Lavender is a tone of transmutation through which density is dissipated or erased so that a higher frequency overall can be attained. This is the purpose of our kingdom along with three others hosting the lavender ray upon Earth. The minerals associated with this task include Amethyst (represents the Structure tone in the Language of Light), Vesuvianite (Divine Union tone), Sodalite (Magnitude tone) and Sugilite (Internal tone).

 

The Import of the Lavender Ray

 

The lavender tones are important unto Terra (Earth) for holding the structure of the new energy flow that is magnetic and holographic in nature. The new energy flow is not entirely new; it is really a restoration of what once was in Terra’s experience inside the Great Central Sun. As Terra matches the flow of the Great Central Sun, then she enters this dream again returning Home from where she came. Already parts of Terra’s field have already crossed over into the new dream as they host the appropriate energy flow; and now all that remains in a dream split into light and dark must also cross over in the coming 25 to 30 years. It is the tones associated with the lavender ray that assist in holding the new movement for entry into the new dream.

 

It has often been said by metaphysicians throughout human history that it is Love that is the glue that holds creation together. Indeed, this is so. The new tones and structure that the lavender ray is holding is founded upon Absolute Love. This is the gift of the Tao who has extended into this creation to assist with its return journey Home. The blessings of absolute love allow for a shift in the manner in which all of creation is held together, whether it is in energy flow or physical form.

 

The new structure of absolute love alters the rotation of holographic energy movement in those regions of domain that have already crossed over into the new dream upon Earth’s surface. Absolute love allows for the dissolution of all ties to a dark dream or in other terms, those dreams that desire to shatter, destroy, abuse or suffer in any manner.

 

Earth is releasing her ties to the dark dream that has plagued her and caused fall after fall in consciousness over time; and in so doing she is entering a new dream where the possibility of ascension is endless. Already, Earth can perceive the coming 12,000 years of global ascension ahead, and is in the process of anchoring this future in layers of year by year alterations to her field to allow this possibility to be the only future that manifests. This is a grand shift as now we can say that the future of Terra’s global ascent is assured. Read more

5. Transcending Lack and Impoverishment

 

We, the Ancient Ones invite each who reads of our materials, regardless of level of evolution, to join us at our Dreamtime Ascension School (DAS) events in the calendar year of 2022-2023. The purpose of these events is to foster the ascent of the human species and the anchoring of future human ascending births. Anyone who is interested is welcome to join DAS by making the intention to participate during dreamtime just before falling asleep nightly.

 

This year, all sentient species are focused upon the release of poverty, hunger, homelessness and excessive greed karma along with the retrieval of all dream weaving information for ascension. Poverty based karma causes an imbalance of energies in which some starve while others thrive; furthermore, the lack of dream weaving information allows no other dream to be available to be chosen. For many spiritual initiates, manifestation is a difficult issue, and one may find oneself struggling to make ends meet; or if finances are not so difficult, perhaps one struggles to manifest the relationship or preoccupation that brings one joy.

 

Extreme Polarity

 

Humans are polarized in extremes; one may have the beautiful spouse and loving union, but have difficulty paying the bills. Or one may manifest in ease, perhaps even having created one’s own successful company, but have disastrous relationship after disastrous relationship. Polarity pits one manifestation against the other; in other terms, one can have some but not all of one’s dreams. Such an experience is directly related to poverty; one is impoverished in work or relationship, or in association with friendship or family. Perhaps initiates will take inventory in association with what regions of domain one experiences impoverishment in one’s current life dance.

 

In polarity, one will experience some life expressions in the physical, and some in the nonphysical. Therefore, one will see that one really does dream all things and experience them. It is simply that some of what one dreams falls through the cracks in one’s field and manifests in a parallel life in the unconscious instead of the physical. (Please refer to Ascension Insights, Volume 5 Chapter 10 “Mastering the Living Dream” for more information.)

 

Per recalls attempting to create a singles magazine in the 1990’s; this magazine would have made him a multi-millionaire. It failed as the investors so badly cursed him such that he could no longer hold the dream long enough for it to physically manifest, and they all lost. Such is the dance of greed, and Per was not a good player in the game. However, the magazine did manifest in a parallel plane where it flourishes to this day, although Per has ascended off of this plane, or in other terms gathered up the parts of self tapped in the unconscious.

Chapter 2: Transcending Fear and Loss of Information

 

Assessing and Transcending Birth Archetypal Nature

 

This chapter is to take the information shared in Chapter 2 of Mother Earth’s Complete Ascension: Workbook 1 to a new level. In Chapter 2, thoughtform was spoken to in association with how it is related to fear, pain, suffering, greed, lust, judgment and death as humanity currently operates within. In this chapter, we desire to have each assess the 18 thoughtforms that one was born with as the archetypal nature that one is associated with. One can also use this information to assess the birth nature of anyone close to oneself, including one’s spouse, children or other family members or partners.

 

Why is understanding one’s own birth nature important? It is in understanding the 18 main thoughtforms as drawn from one’s tapestry of ancestry to create the body and persona that you have known as “you” in this lifetime that one will more greatly perceive all the patterns that one must transmute in order to master 3,000 DNA segments or higher in frequency. Why is this so? It is as one masters 3,000 segments in vibration that one also transcends all birth thoughtform and karma from this given lifetime, and also transmutes and transcends the DNA and persona that one was born with that was non-unity based or founded upon polarity.

 

Polarity and Limitation

 

The state of polarity causes limitation in the dance of life; for in polarity one can be one way and not another, or have one thing and not another. It is also a state of polarity that pits one person against another in competition over dreams. Dreams gravitate to those who think thoughts associated; each who think antithetical thoughts to the desired dreams find the dreams naturally gravitate to another. This of course leads to disappointment and non-fulfillment in the dance of life. Therefore, to create and catch the dreams that one desires to make manifest through intention, one must integrate the language that will allow the dream to be caught within one’s field.

 

This is how the Language of Light serves to draw a dream of greater unity and fulfillment into the dance of life. As one embraces this language and erases the old language that one created with in earlier times in one’s life, one will then attract dreams that are associated. Because the Language of Light is a unity-based language, dreams of unity are more likely to be attracted than dreams that are polarity based. This allows those embodying the Language of Light through ascension to create dreams of less extremes leading to a life of greater abundance, fulfillment and balance.

 

About Dogmatic Beliefs

 

Within the Language of Light, the extremes of dogmatic thoughtform are left behind through the transmutation process of ascension. Dogmatic beliefs and thoughtform lead to extremes of all kinds in the human expression. Why is this so? Dogma is founded upon electrical pulsations. Electrical pulsations press more energy or dream in one direction and less of energy and dream in another. This is why electrical thoughtform creates extremes of greed and poverty, acceptance and rejection, love and hate, peace and war, etc., as more dream of a particular nature accumulates in one direction and less in another. The more extreme the swing, the greater the disparity between what is accumulated in one direction and is deprived in equal measure in another direction. Read more

6. Blessings for Absolute Forgiveness and Receiving the Pink Ray of Love

 

From the Rose Quartz Kingdom

 

This chapter begins a series of materials from a group of minerals associated with a particular set of vibrations that are held through the mineral kingdom for Mother Earth and all sentient species that are ascending at this time in history. The Rose Quartz Kingdom is not the only mineral that holds pink tones of creation: Rhodocroshite, Ruby, and Pink Tourmaline are other minerals hosting the pink ray. Pink is associated with Forgiveness (rhodocroshite), Unity (rose quartz), Oneness (pink tourmaline) and External Awareness or the connection between humans or between kingdoms (ruby) in the Language of Light. (Please refer to Chapter 1 “Minerals and Single Tones” for more information.)

 

Global Warming Is the Result of Increasing Molecular Spin

 

The mineral kingdom assists in the transmutation of global thoughtform for the consensus known as Terra (Earth). Terra is a consensus reality. Much as each human must learn to transmute polarity based thoughtform into greater unity, so is Terra undergoing this process as a planet. This is what fosters global ascension or global warming as humans perceive it. Global warming is really the result of an increasing spin of Terra’s molecules within her body along with the increasing spin of the molecules in all kingdoms, plant, animal, mineral, whale and dolphin as well as human.

 

Most species are just beginning their ascent beyond 1,024 segments of DNA in vibration upon the surface of Terra. Terra has equated molecular spin to the number of segments of DNA that have been restored within the biology. Each additional segment of information causes the molecules to heat up and embrace a new pattern. In the ascent from 1024 to 3000 segments, the molecules shift in patterning from a solar system style of rotation to the Triple Sphere patterning or “Consciousness” symbol within the Language of Light. As the molecules move into this new patterning as defined by the DNA, there is room for additional warming or heat to emanate from each kingdom along with Terra as a whole, leading to a more rapid pace of global evolution.

 

At this time roughly 40% of Terra’s overall molecular structure has embraced the Triple Sphere patterning. In the coming 5 years, it is anticipated that over 80% of Terra’s molecular structure shall embrace this new patterning. As this occurs, global warming shall begin a rapid pace of “heating up” or “thawing out” of the glaciers that remain upon Terra’s body. The melting of the glaciers is necessary as the frozen regions host non-moving energy; non-moving energy causes imbalances in Earth’s rotation of field as well as the wobble that creates the seasons in her physical rotation around the solar Sun. As the poles and remaining glaciers melt in full in the coming 300-year cycle, Earth’s wobble will also cease and seasons as you know them will disappear. This is something that one’s future ancestry shall experience.

 

Detoxification and Global Warming

 

The heating up of Terra’s surface will increase the capacity to detoxify many substances that humans have discarded into the ocean as well as upon the land. Recently, Asur’Ana read a news article online stating that the arctic Orca Whale Kingdom hosts so many toxins in their blubber that they have been designated as toxic as the polar bears, who also host many toxins in their blubber from consuming seals. The toxins are all human made substances dumped into the sea. Read more

20 Aug

Chapter 1: Transcending Gossip, Judgment, Shame and Unconscious Harm

 

This first chapter is devoted to patterns that humans have a tendency to move into that causes unconscious harm. From Terra’s (Earth’s) point of view, gossip and judgment of others points energy from one’s own field into the field of another. If there is anger associated, one may also mutilate the field of another unknowingly. As a group gathers and gossips, they can throw blows of harm from the group towards another really causing some major harm or disease to form over time. It is for this reason that initiates should learn not to participate in gossip or judgment by disengaging with the personality entities that desire to express in this manner.

 

One can see gossip taking hold in the media in a large manner in present time human civilization. Look at all the small newspapers that express gossip about this star or that famous or wealthy one, or show photos of them that are taken without permission and just because they are well known, and possibly showing them in less than a beautiful light or circumstance. This is gossip in the media and what it causes is harm towards the famous one and their fans on the part of groups associated with the media. Often the star themselves does not end up suffering from the harm, but those in the bottom of their pyramid will take on the harm and become diseased or suffer from an accident or other life travesty as a result. Such is the nature of harmful group dynamics between groups.

 

What Exactly Is Gossip?         

 

Gossip is any judgment of another about any attribute that one perceives within them. In speaking about the judgment of another to others, the judgment is inflated and one then engages with the planes of judgment associated with the Kumara’s. The planes of the kumara of judgment are an electrical dreamtime plane that elicits shame of all kinds. As one enters the shameful dreamtime, one can throw electrical barbs at others in order to diminish their field; this is how the one who is superior causes the one who is inferior to succumb to diminishing themselves. It is why Asur’Ana has offered up the intention to prick the field of the one inflating themselves up in size in order to subordinate oneself. In so doing, one collapses them back to size and ends the entire dance of shame sent towards oneself through intention.

 

Gossip amongst a group of others causes the group to inflate from the energy of the one judged who gives their energy to the group in order to be in the subordinate position. Therefore, groups inflate in parallel to those individuals who like to be in power, control and in “charge” and in so being, strip others of power and chi to puff the group up. Group gossip can cause groups within the group to inflate itself larger than life and then overrun the leader as well. This does not serve unity or building community relations in spiritual groups or ascending communities and so the members may be asked to leave the community as they were ascending into disunity-based patterning.

 

For those finding themselves in the subordinate position due to group dynamics, whether the group is one’s family, friends, workmates, spiritual associations, or any other group one convenes with, one can also prick the puffed up group that is using one’s chi to inflate itself. Then one can intend to retrieve all chi lost and push one’s own field back up in vibration to hold a balanced ascending energy flow. As one does so, groups of any kind will cease to manipulate oneself into the subordinate position. Read more

Introduction To Mother Earth’s Complete Ascension: Workbook 2

 

Introduction        

 

We begin now the second part of Mother Earth’s Complete Ascension Workbook. The following chapters shall be devoted to bringing to consciousness the nature of human behavior towards one another. In better understanding the nature of human expression in the current paradigm, one will be better capable of transcending the associated karma to give birth to unity and integrity relations. Unity and integrity relations is founded upon taking personal responsibility for one’s own patterning within and karma associated rather than projecting it upon others and then judging, condemning or hating them. For all others are only mirrors of lost parts of oneself. Therefore, in judging, condemning or hating others, one only judges, hates or condemns oneself.

 

The current human paradigm is not founded upon real love. There is an illusion of love that runs through many spiritual groups that paints an image of what “ideal” love would be like. In ideal love, one would love everyone; everyone would love in return; and all will be good, beautiful, filled with hope, joy and endless love. The reality is that this type of ideal love only occurs if one splits light and dark completely. As there is no density or darkness, there is only the light and a seeming state of endless love.

 

Combusted Creations and Supernova

 

However, splitting light and dark does not lead to real ascension “home” to the Great Central Sun Dream where light and dark must be amalgamated into a single rainbow of frequencies in order to pass through the final Star Gate. If anything, creations of only light combust just as readily in the attempt to enter the new Dream as those that are only of the dark, as each does not resonate with the new dream where light and dark unify.

 

Much like trying to press a round peg through a square hole, creations of only light or only dark have the wrong molecular structure to pass through the new Dream of the Great Central Sun. The friction created in forcing something that does not naturally flow through to enter nonetheless causes the molecules to combust into billions of bits of matter. This is known as “nova” or “supernova” by current scientists; a creation bursting into billions of bits falling from the dimension above due to a miss-ascent into their own Great Central Sun dream of origin.

 

This is why there have been so many combusted creations at the entry point of the Great Central Sun Dream. The Tao estimates that over 800 creations have combusted against the Great Central Sun dream that Terra (Earth) has begun to enter. Terra has learned to integrate her density to enough of a degree that it can be amalgamated into a single set of frequencies thus allowing her entry into the new dream. This too is what each human must accomplish in order to carry on with Terra, and if not in this lifetime, then in the future generations ahead related unto oneself. Read more

01 Jul

Chapter 7: Dream Weaving and Manifestation

 

This chapter is devoted to the act of manifestation and conscious dream weaving. For so long, humans have forgotten that they are the director of their dream. As a result of this forgetfulness, humans have gone into dreamtime to negotiate with nonphysical forces for the dream that they desire to receive rather than simply intending the desired dream to be experienced. The forces controlling human dreams have set up a complex set of bargaining that is not unlike the current banking and loan system in the physical. The entities demand more and more chi for one’s dream; to a point that this in and of itself set a downward spiral of falling consciousness in the human species.

 

Dolphins and Whales went into less forgetfulness about their dreams. However, the forces directing human dreams began to press themselves upon the whales and dolphins to gain access to their chi over time. The mutilation of their kingdom in the nonphysical through these forces in the human dream manipulation game led in time to the destruction of dolphins and whales at human hands. In parallel manner, the destruction of the human energy field through the dream manipulators also led over time to human warfare.

 

Prior to the arrival of the Anu, humans, whales and dolphins existed in a magnetic dream. The dreams that were bartered and exchanged moved from one party to the other without mutilation of field. At most, only chi was lost in the exchange which the nonphysical forces took much like interest upon a loan. As the Anu arrived upon Earth, they brought with them an entirely different type of dream that was electrical. There was no place in the magnetic dream for their dance and so they puffed up the space between in the alterations to Earth’s biosphere and pressed their dream upon Earth within this region of domain. This is how the dark Earth dream came to be in such a large and exaggerated proportion.

 

The magnetic dream was then pressed or squeezed into other regions that the Anu did not occupy causing them to dominate in those regions that they constructed their castles. The red nations’ peoples naturally moved away due to a lack of dream for themselves near the Anu compounds. As the Anu bred their slave nation out of control and into the billions, the space between electrical dream from the Pleiades grew and grew along the surface of the Earth and in certain grids of global energy flow. Such grids are located now in Europe, Asia and North America primarily. This is where those of electrical genealogy tend to live as a result.

 

Box and Pyramidal Shaped Dreams        

 

Anu dream is pyramidal. Asian dream is box shaped. The box shaped dream comes from Alpha Centauri where the Pleiadians incubated two additional slave races known as the Reptilians. The Reptilians were drawn to Earth in the fourth dimension; they raped and blended with those red nations peoples in the fourth dimension in the Inner Earth that has ascended. This led to an alteration of those of Tibetan and Inuit or Mongolian inheritance primarily who altered in holographic nature to become 28% Reptilian. There were several breeds of Reptilians that mated or raped red nation women in the fourth dimension; hence the difference between Chinese and Japanese or other Asian nations today. Some Reptilian DNA creates a very small thin biology; yet others create a rounder form more akin to Polynesian root race. Read more

About the Light and Dark Earth Dreams

 

Long ago, Terra split into two regions of domain as she exited the Great Central Sun. Inside the Sun, there was not a split between light and dark as the two opposing series of vibrations were amalgamated or united into a single rainbow of synthesis. Outside of the Great Central Sun Dream, Earth lost the amalgamation and the lighter tones split into one rainbow and the darker tones into another. This occurred as Terra’s field was turned completely inside out as she exited the dream. One might think of the split in light and dark as one rainbow of pastel colors that are lighter in vibration and another of primary colors that are denser in vibration.

 

As Terra split into light and dark, so did the dreams surrounding her. This was complicated by the fact that no soul inside the Great Central Sun chose to exit the dream with Terra. As a result, she was left altered but without a host of nonphysical forces to explain what had occurred or rectify the circumstance. Perhaps if all that is known today about the Great Central Sun Dream was known at the time, Terra would have never exited but rather simply extended the dream that she was in until a return cycle was manifest. Alas, this was not understood at the time, and Terra did exit, as have a host of other creations from this Sun and many others throughout time, space and form.

 

Terra turned to the blueprint of her own hologram and created a series of nonphysical forces to manage her field to replace the souls that were no longer with her. These forces come in the form of creator souls, angel souls as well as serpents that weave the fabric of the physical and nonphysical vessel. These nonphysical forces were constructed after Terra had already split into light and dark in exiting the Great Central Sun Dream.

 

As a result of this, the nonphysical forces created were also in a light and dark form. Or in other terms, there were those forces that were positive in nature and constructed from thoughtform of the positive ley lines of moving energy systems; these forces desired to keep Terra’s field moving. There were also forces constructed from negative consciousness or the space between due to the manner in which Terra had split into light and dark.

 

The space between hosts consciousness that separates and divides; it is the nature of the space between to carve the pathway through which the energy flows in the chakras, subtle bodies and etheric grid work. The negative or space between hosts an opposing thoughtform to the space without. If the space without seeks to create and live, then the space between shall seek to destroy and die. This only occurs when the two are split into separate forces that oppose one another. Read more
