The Secret to Never Giving Up on Ascension (Part 1)

★Different ways of approaching ascension (the evolution of consciousness)

Looking back on what we’ve said so far, you can see that for humanity, “ascension” (dimensional ascension) is a synonym for “the evolution of consciousness,” can’t you?

With that in mind, look out over the world of the hearts of Earth’s humanity.

Broadly speaking, you can see that it’s divided into people who keep up their daily efforts without giving up on a positive spirit, and people who try a little and give up easily or don’t even try from the start.

Two kinds: those who keep facing straight toward divine consciousness, and those who tried but quickly turned back, or never set out in the first place.

“That looks hard.” “What a hassle.” “That’s impossible.” “No way.” “I never stick with anything.” “It’s too hard for me.” “There’s no way I can do it”…

People who send out such thoughts by reflex when it comes to the evolution of consciousness probably tend, in everything, to take a little nibble and then give up easily because results don’t come right away, don’t they?

That’s because their hearts have grown used to a state of “someone like me, anyway.”

For people who give up on everything right away, a recognition along the lines of “impossible, no good, can’t do it” has become a habit from the start—it has become their natural recognition.

That is exactly “the self-limiting habit of thought that has stuck to the physical body after completely forgetting the true body of life.”

Think about it.

You are living this present life as the final settlement—the culmination—of hundreds, thousands of past lives.

And yet, even if you searched every corner of the Earth, you wouldn’t find a single person who could evolve their consciousness easily just by wishing a little, without any effort.

★The first step toward ascension

For most of the many comrades scattered across the Earth, the reality is that after efforts in past lives plus years or even decades of effort and devotion, those efforts have finally borne fruit in recent times as the spiritualization of the Earth has become marked, and the buds of divine consciousness have sprouted and are developing rapidly.

So it’s good to take on what you should do at each moment with care, steadily, step by step, with a firm, unwavering resolve along the lines of, “I’ll see this through even if it takes my whole life.”

As long as you keep doing that, one day you’ll suddenly look back and find that your consciousness has evolved greatly, and, as if the days of worry and suffering had never been, you’ll see the scenery of the divine realm, where your heart is clear and bright.

And if you’ve developed the habit of your heart quickly giving in about everything, it’s good to build up small experiences of success, steadily, little by little.

Because that is exactly the first step toward ascension.

And since this isn’t something to show off to others or brag about, take on even things you would have thought of as “that?” (trivial) until now, sincerely.

For example, if until now you never walked even to the second floor when there was an escalator or elevator in a building, climb the stairs on foot; or if you never walked even one bus stop’s distance, try walking it.

Once you can do that, for example, if one breath (in, hold, out) has taken less than ten seconds until now, aim for ten seconds, or twenty seconds; or if until now you couldn’t clearly say “thank you” in words when someone did something for you, try saying it. (Especially with family—many people probably don’t do this.)

What’s important here is to taste directly the sense of achievement and fulfillment: “I did it!” “I can do it if I try!”

That’s how you break through the shell of self-limitation little by little.

By building this up steadily, your consciousness evolves into a self that, in the midst of everyday life, can instantly recognize things positively as a reflex. (To be continued next time)
