people will perceive themselves differently.

it is a gradual process, occuring now and approx during next 20 years. it is a shift in consciousness. |

You can't ascend playing video games all day as far as I'm aware. Unless you recognize that life itself is like a video game (ala Steve's blog entry) and you're evolving and raising your consciousness inside "the game." Play the game of life.  |
Thanks for the responses, but this is not exactly what I meant.
I understand what the dictionary definition of ascension is. What I don't understand is what it would
mean to me, or how it would
feel to someone pursuing personal development. For example, I've made a lot of life changes recently, but I can't say that I *feel* any more evolved consciously. If anything, I feel
more frustrated by other people's callousness than I did before, which seems to be a step in the wrong direction..
To reference
Steve's article, over the past few years, before I knew personal development was called "personal development," I alternated between the mindsets of neutrality and courage. I was neutral until I needed to change something about my life, then I would fight to make that change, then I would go back to a content, neutral mindset. I generally didn't judge other people as I felt I had enough to worry about on my own.
Now I'm angry a lot more. I make positive changes for myself but then the world still sucks, and that pisses me off, especially because I've already done more than my part.
When I was in a neutral mindset, I didn't judge others or get angry because I knew that I had my own things to work on. I wasn't entitled. But now, after quitting smoking, quitting speeding, going vegan, working out 4x/week, not owning a TV, and breaking out of a co-dependant ltr, I feel way more justified.
I've done
way more than I ever thought I would to ensure that I am leading a "net-positive" life, but I don't feel like a different person. I certainly don't feel ascended, not that I would even know what that felt like if it smacked me across the face. I do feel pissed that so many people could care less about living for a greater good, and that people don't seem to be able to see more than a foot in front of their face at any given moment. The vegan thing did *not* result in the opening of my heart chakra, apparently.
Is there some sort of empowering belief that I need to hold about people to make these negative feelings more productive? I just want world peace. Like Miss America. Aww...
