Up and Down the Ladder of Consciousness: The Story of Life
2012 September 23
Posted by Steve Beckow
I
was saying earlier that the Bible was a formulary of enlightenment
motifs and that what it primarily illustrated was the journey up the
mountain to freedom and down the mountain to serve.
How could I have forgotten that chief motif that illustrates the
sacred ascent and descent – Jacob’s ladder? Were there not angels
ascending and descending on it?
Have we not been called so many times “physical angels”? And are we not ascending the stairway to heaven?
And are not angels such as Archangels Michael, Gabriel, Raphiel, and
Uriel descending Jacob’s ladder to assist us physical angels with our
climb?
Here are Sheldan Nidle’s higher-dimensional galactic sources on our true form:
“Many of us are surrounded by a glowing
aura. Because of this, and our ability to transform easily into our
Light Body, many of your ancestors viewed us with awe.
“Greet us now, not in this belief, but merely as your Space Family.
Know by what you see that you gaze upon simply what you really are. Like
us, you are Physical Angels. Soon, you once again will take on your
true form.”(1)And SaLuSa said the same:
“You are special Beings of a highly
evolved state, except that very few of you are aware of it. You are
slowly but surely beginning to understand your spiritual history, even
although the idea that you are Angels is quite astonishing to you. The
fact that you already have a link to your higher consciousness means
that you will sub-consciously know when you are being offered truthful
information.” (2)
Archangel Michael, in An Hour with an Angel on March 26, 2012, explained what is meant by the term:
“You spend time during this process of
Ascension incorporating, inviting in, all of your glorious aspects. So,
do not forget to invite your own angelic self to be with you. This is
not your higher self.
“If you want to think in the way you do,
in terms of layers, think of your angelic self as above your higher self
and pull them all in—to your core, to your heart, to your feet, to your
toes. Because our purpose in speaking of this is for you to acknowledge
and to know your own being as well.” (3)
Perhaps we can also glimpse the really subtle sub-text in what
Archangel Michael is saying. We are ourselves Starseeds and Hybrids. And
we are our higher selves. And we are our angelic selves, higher than
our higher selves. And we are God, from which all emanate. One is all
and all is One.
The secret sub-text then is, yes, all are One, but also one is All.
And each of these realizations has its own stage of enlightenment.
When we see that we are God, we’ve achieved jnana or wisdom. When we see
that all is God, we’ve achieved vijnana or spotless wisdom.
The higher-dimensional beings, right up to the Divine Mother, the
first among created beings, speak in ways that we’ll understand – not in
mystical, lofty terms. So they, especially in communications designed
to reach the widest possible audience, will not go into the deeper
mysteries but simply point at them in passing. The Divine Mother herself
acknowledged this in An Hour with an Angel, on May 7, 2012:
Steve Beckow: When you use the word “the
Father,” are you referring to the conditioned Brahman? And if you are,
could you tell us about your aspect as the transcendental Absolute?
My purpose in this was to coax “her” to
tell us about the greatest mystery of All – her aspect as the
Transcendental Absolute. But alas, it was truly not an appropriate
subject for a radio show.
Divine Mother: Many who listen do not understand these terms.
SB: Yes, I realize that.
DM: And part of my desire is to make
myself very clear, that people do understand. So, ensure, beloved, that
you do make these terms very clear for your readers and listeners.
SB: I will. But if you would just confirm
for me that you are speaking about the conditioned Brahman rather than
the Transcendental Absolute, I can do the rest.
DM: Yes, that is exactly what I am speaking of. (5)
Walking up the mountain to receive the laws and down to deliver them
To return to Jacob’s ladder of consciousness evolving and serving,
here we have another excellent example of a Biblical motif designed to
imprint on our minds an image of the manner in which life works. We
mount the ladder of consciousness to fulfill our divine missions to know
our true essence so that God may have the pleasure of meeting God in a
moment of our enlightenment.
And once we’ve known ourselves completely, we then go back down the
ladder of consciousness, back down the mountain, to assist others to
climb it.
Jesus speaking of going in by the door, of laying down our burdens
and following him, of being laborers in the harvest, in fact all of his
parables and homilies are only about this journey up the mountain, up
the ladder, up the staircase, and down again, to freedom and back again
to service.
One might say that Jesus also spoke of becoming a pillar in the
temple and going no more out. By that he meant not needing to be reborn
into the physical, what he meant by the term “eternal life.” But he did
not mean that we do not leave the temple to serve. Why, he did himself,
as he indicated, when he said: “I came forth from the Father, and am
come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.”
(6)
He left the temple and came forth from the Father to walk down the
mountain, climb down the ladder, descend the staircase, and serve. And
when he was finished, he walked back up the ladder of consciousness
again, climbed the mountain, and ascended back to the realm from which
he came.
Always there is this journey up and down the staircase of heaven, a journey which never ends.
Always we’re serving the Divine Plan of God knowing God in a moment
of enlightenment through facilitating all of creation to know itself in
moments of enlightenment.
Enlightenment is the purpose of life and all our efforts are either to experience enlightenment ourselves or assist others to.
And all the efforts of messiahs, angels, ascended masters and even
galactic coalitions and higher universal councils are all and only to
serve that Plan, as Archangel indicated when he said: “our purpose in
speaking of this is for you to acknowledge and to know your own being.”
(7)
I’d better stop here or stop somewhere because this is the eternal song, the Bhagavad-Gita or Song of God, the Song of Songs. And beginning to sing it, one cannot stop.
One is wafted to bliss by singing the Song of songs. The heavens
lift their voices in praise of God because God is all, God is bliss, and
God is everlasting love and peace. And soon the Earth will also lift
its voice in praise of God.
