rei's new site & new product, Ascension thread

[rei]

Hi Everyone!

So, several people wanted me to tell them when my new site was ready - it's ready!

Rei Williams

wolfgang wanted to read the article on Ascension, it's the first link on the Home page.

I also changed my prices a little (Readings are now $55.) And I'm excited to be offering a method I've used with great success in altering my beliefs, which you can get through the last link in my signature or under Products on my site.

I don't want to solely be mentioning my services, so I thought I'd open up this thread for a discussion of Ascension. If you read the first link on my Home page, you will get an idea of what Ascension is and isn't, from the perspective of someone who has gone through the process herself.

In brief, it's my understanding that we are choosing to be empowered in creating our Ascension experience. We are not going to be scooped up by intelligent life and taken somewhere, and we are not going to be abandoning this planet either. Which is a different perspective from the one offered in many cases, but Spirit guides me to be one of the few Ascension facilitators who is not energizing the escapist undertones that have cropped up in discussing it.

Who would like to share your thoughts, feelings, questions about Ascension?

[elucidate]

Oh thank god for that. Some down -to- earth Ascension convos already...I'd lost all hope of such a thing. Awesome

Heh, yeah, it's a nice change for me as well! Practical Ascension

[elucidate]

Well I just wanted to say that I finished reading your article, and apart from it being well written, it definately is aligned with my own thoughts on the subject...working towards self-acceptance as part of the cosmic re-aligning and the fact that you stear clear of any escapist mentality is refreshing and makes me interested to see where this thread goes, and all the amazing input that will no doubt come.
I'm grabbing me some hot buttered popcorn for this show...

Ha! I'm glad you enjoyed the article and resonated with the perspective

It felt important to just say right off the bat what this Ascension is not about, so those who are determined to work with those other ideas can keep doing so. If they choose disappointment, well, it's their choice, but the spirit realm doesn't want to support (through me) an approach that is about getting rescued. It was not even really intended to be about something like that. Or maybe at one time it was, but we've all shifted things and it's not about that anymore. Perhaps it was intended originally to be a kind of rescue but too many who heard about it stopped working on themselves, stopped being here, now, and started putting all their energy into wanting it. Which isn't how we are going to get there

Raising your vibe so you can experience Ascension is not about avoidance There are so many on this planet whose unconscious energy contains things that the conscious self is unaware of, and this work is also about being more connected to the various levels of self. They also understand how this dynamic could work out this way, and they feel we will all actually get there more easily by bringing it to us here, now instead of focusing attention on not-here, not-now

Glad you liked it!

[elucidate]

I agree entirely and I cannot for the life of me understand why others would WANT to leave for some other planet...well, that's not true, I DO understand why they want to escape, intrinsically I do.

This place really is paradise though...we just have to get to work to restore it to such and ourselves to our rightful place as well.

LOL at rei ship lollypop

I understand the desire to leave too, it can get really hard here sometimes. I went through that myself at one point. So I DO totally understand it But we're more likely to see the end results by shifting that perspective, and we have all the loving support we could need to do so

[elucidate]

Well we sure do need it if we want to raise this sinking Titanic.

coolness - ascension without tossing the baby out with the holey bathwater!

kind of like "god helps those who help themselves"

very holistic which is the only way in my mind

also reminds me of stories of luminaries - that holey "saints" have been reported to glow in a way that "normal" people can see it - and that these luminaries would not be running around showing off the glow, in fact they would close their doors to keep this side effect from being something that attracted attention. Like you are saying, it was a neat side effect of being communion but not the goal at all.

I like your new avatar, it reminds me of some Mayan images I've seen

Glad you enjoyed the article And it is just as you say, too, about the various side effects of the alignment. Sometimes I enjoy playing with the weather, being in that space of connection and conscious creation, but it's not at all why I got on this path. And it's certainly not my focus, nor is it something I would be interested in bragging about. I only mention it here to line up with the point you're making

Funny you used the word luminary, that was part of the title of a blog I had a couple years ago

God helps those who help themselves, that's a perfect way to sum this up (Of course, we are all helped in all ways, but God would like for us to feel empowered, to see our own Divinity and Grace and mantle of Power, our rightful alignment as beings of creation and consciousness. I think that is one reason God said something about being there to serve us, in my first article - I was a bit surprised to hear it, but it definitely makes sense! You just don't see much information where God is wanting to be in a place of service, or at least I've seen more about it going the other way - when it doesn't have to )

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Yes it's Mayan. I ran into the fact that Mayan's have a greeting: In Lak'ech which was presented to me as meaning "In you I see another me". Which was, to me, honoring the space in which anything we think is outside of us exists. I searched that term and found the Mayan image that I uploaded for the avatar. MAYAN CALENDARS and COSMOLOGY

wow

Somewhere I listened to an audio where the therapist helped a woman that was on meds, very depressed and continually focused on her self, her bad life story (which was horrific apparently). what he guided her to do was to journal acts of kindness to others. And soon she was either cutting back or off meds and able to smile and function like never before. The conclusion of this therapist was that every one's real purpose is to lift each other up, to be of service in a way that lightens any one you are in contact with. And no need to be in ways of grand service - just things like smiling at people, or holding doors, or just honoring the space from where they are coming. So then, hmmm... in context or to fit this to helping ourselves... it's like the way this woman helped herself was to focus on helping others! That to be too focused on just your own suffering to the exclusion of others isn't helping yourself. And to let go and let god is kind of like stopping the narcissistic ways and smiling at people, in such a way that it actually helps yourself as a side effect by letting go of your own story of suffering. Well, I'd have to think about these thoughts, maybe it's not quite in context of the ascension article any more.

A lot like "Namaste", the sanskrit word for " I honor the light in you which is also within me " (or something like that anyway!! )

excellent!! - Namaste has become so used, yet I didn't know that it translated to something like that. thanks.

I love it! Heh, reminds me of the people on Pandora too (reference to the movie Avatar in case anyone was not sure what I meant here) And a lovely reminder that we are all one grand mirror for each other

No, that's great! I mean yes, I have seen people who start out doing it that way, and it can become a way they never ever pause and see how they may be giving to others what their inner self is asking for - but if they have been focused on their own self, in rumination, and stuck in heavy patterns, it's certainly helpful to shift your focus in that case, I think

I'd say ideally it's about attention to self as it is in us and self as it is without, in a roughly balanced way. [EDIT: That's the ideal, maybe, or from my perspective regarding service-to-all, but it's also helpful to be okay with ourselves no matter where we happen to fall on this issue.] For example, today I've been doing some work for clients, but this afternoon I'm planning to treat myself to some bodywork

In fact, my appointment is pretty soon so I'll have to continue here later - thanks to all for the wonderful thoughts!

Yes, I love what Namaste means, even though it is used a lot these days

The way I've previously understood Ascention is that it is an evolution of sorts -- depending on whom you ask it may be mental, emotion, or spiritual, or some combination of the three. Rarely have I heard an association with physical evolution, outside of byproduct effects. The "escape the planet" piece is uncommon among the discussions I've attended, but perhaps that's because I trend towards uncommon crowds.

Your description of a five dimension reality is a new take, though. There seems to be a connection with lucid dreaming that I can't quite put into words.... Could lucid dreaming be a preview, perhaps? After all, most folks I've spoken with about lucid dreaming go one of two routes: the escapist "look I can create anything in my dreams" route, and the practical "look I can learn and gain new experiences while I sleep" route. The escapist route is far more common, but the practical application is far more intriguing. There's another connection in there I can't quite articulate.

Am I just babbling here or is there something to it?

First, I must say I'm amazed that the universe structured things so no one posted until I happened to be back by the computer

Secondly, I like how you compared this to lucid dreaming, as being Ascended has a lot to do with designing your reality experience. I admit, I have too much I do during dreamtime to get into lucid dreaming myself, but it's my understanding that you're the prime creator of the lucid dream - and that certainly syncs up with this Ascension.

Is that the connection you were trying to articulate at the end? I do see the connection you made as well, but then, I also think it can work within this non-escapist route to be curious, fascinated, even excited about designing our desired reality I think the issue is when a person gets so focused on the ideal, the end result, that they aren't spending any time working through the stuff that might be in the way of more easily flowing to that result.

And yes, there are different labels used by different teachers, but in my understanding Earth was actually fifth dimensional prior to recorded history, and then the collective reality was vibrating at 3D for a long time (I do not feel any utility in going into what made this change, as it's not really information that will serve most of us in being present-focused or embracing love), within the last couple of years we've shifted into 4D, and now we're choosing to keep going to create a 5D collective reality here.

Interesting point, and thank you for sharing it!

so... how do you ascend?
will there be a how-to tutorial for those wishing to become Ascended Masters?

I am already trying to see what I can do to provide a coaching option, with regular channeled messages to supplement the coaching itself.

I'll also be getting some ebooks put together for those who just want a bit of information

As for a how-to tutorial, well, if it was something where the exact same steps in the same order worked for everyone, I'd certainly be providing that - but it seems some things work better for some than for others, it's about how the energy is put together And we all create our energy in unique ways

It is hard to answer that question of How very simply or briefly But it's a wonderful question!

It involves making the unconscious conscious, processing various things within the emotional body, and releasing other things that don't serve our goals in this area, exploring ourselves and accepting and loving ourselves as we are in each moment. Some of that was a little overwhelming for me when I was doing it, and I would have appreciated being able to talk to someone while I was moving through those experiences - someone who would not think I was crazy and could have offered various tools for support, comfort, and/or clarity depending on the situation itself.

I have only just started to develop offers in this area, so my explanation could be very rough around the edges. But basically, it seems less a matter of "adding to" ourselves and more a matter of "letting go" of the things we added that can block us from our greatness. If that makes sense

[Alena]

But basically, it seems less a matter of "adding to" ourselves and more a matter of "letting go" of the things we added that can block us from our greatness.

how do we find out what's blocking us? I suppose, most people don't even know that there is something that's blocking them...

BTW, just bought your e-book, so hopefully, I'll be able to at least let some beliefs go

It's true, many do not even realize there are messages in their energy they have pushed away. And the reasons for responding that way are usually very understandable

I find willingness to see what we have created as some kind of block is a big step, often that is all it takes for the universe to deliver information that can get us going in the right direction. Sort of a "show me" intention, and then sit back with a gentle eye toward what may surface

Your questions are a big help for me, thank you!

Yay! I'm so glad you thought it would be helpful I wish you great success with it!!

[Kishka]

Great work Rei!! I will be checking out your site regularly!

As for ascension, from my understanding we are all ascending just at different rates. It's kind of like God/Self is awakening from the dream of this reality. It's not something that needs to be taught, forced or pushed. I certainly didn't know a thing about ascension until I was guided into it a few months ago.

I'd venture that fears would be a good place to start to look for blocks. I'd also venture a guess that blocks manifest in other ways, but those ways may be muddied up by habit(s) or purposeful learning curves.

Of course, realizing you could be greater than what you currently are would be the first (and likely most difficult) step. So congratulate yourself for getting this far!

How was your buying experience, did you have any difficulties? (I'm asking from a technical standpoint here, I helped Rei get this set up and your input and experience would be helpful). You can PM me if you want so we don't detract from this thread.

"show me" intention sounds interesting I'll try it.

I didn't have any problems. Payed by paypal, received an email, downloaded the book.

Thank you, Kishka! Yes, wherever we are at is perfect - I could not agree more! And yet I was also guided to begin developing offers for those who would like to accelerate things for themselves (often with accepting and loving our present experience as a key) Again, it is at the core about being healed, whole, and in your love-power. But those who are not interested in this are also on a perfect path

There is no wrong way to do life But I do know there is an interest out there in exploring a path like this, so I will be offering support for that

I beleive in this. My take on it is a bit the other way around though. For me I beleive in filling myself with peace, love, kindness and all that good stuff first. If I am full of the positive, I will generate this automatically to others, since there is little negativity in me. Not always true I admit but it is my goal.

It is perhaps seen as a more ''egotistical'' way, but I think the end result can be the same.
