INTRODUCTION
In April 2007 I noticed a few links from a forum called 'dreamviews'. I decided to take a look at these friendly visitors from abroad and was quite surprised with what I found. A member of the group, called Juroara talked about the ascension process and inserted a few links to the buddhabelly-ssoa-excerpts page (see link above). She believes that the SSOA (and me) are spreading gross lies about the ascension process. Ascension, in her opinion hasn't got anything to do with the body. Let's take a look at what she says:
Ascension is all the buzz in the spiritual community, whether it means attaining Oneness with the universe or nature, attaining the I AM presence, following in either Jesus or Buddhas foot prints, Christ Consciousness, Cosmic Consciousness, Collective Consciousness or something else that really just means highering your consciousness - and constantly highering it (enlightenment doesnt end)I think it is useful to pay attention to these interpretations because they are probably not only interpretations from her, but it is likely that more people will enter these realms of thought as a result of the biological ascension paradigm. I want to add a few comments here:the ascension buzz has key characteristics that are more or less the same regardless if the individual was first a buddhist, agnostic, christian or even pagan. The most important feature that all of these share is the part of you ascending is your true self - not the body.
if anyone on this board is even remotely interested in whatever form of cosmic universal consciousness you are after - do not listen to these two people spreading gross lies about the inner path.

do not listen to the SSOA

they teach ideas off ascension that happen to the physical body, a phenemom they call the buddha belly and weight gain which is necessary according to them to ascend. Fat is necessary to ascend, as well as having a large buddha belly. supposedly the large belly is because the ascending body consumes air instead of food and converts the air into energy. extra diaphram and all.
Yet apart of the buddha belly process, the process of the body evolving are cravings for sugary substances and all sorts of vegetarian fats - cheese, milk, icecream, cakes. the two supposed ascended leaders admit to craving food, and a lot of times, and according to them ascended beings such as Mother Earth has even suggested to indulge yourself with fatty things - as fat is necessary to ascend. . . . fat necessary to ascend. meaning anyone who is lean because of a healthy diet or activites, even such as yogo will not ascend. you dont got a giant beer belly, you aint ascending.
now all this fattiness has some side affects. the ascended people have noted that sometimes their body has skin problems - of course according to them this is becuase their body is evolving and they are simply shedding off the old skin - however most people know by now that skin problems can be related to excess fatIt is indeed true that you could look at certain phenomena from different angles. Perhaps a few of the phenomena are the result of a certain diet, but it could as well be the result of the release of toxins due to the ascension process as well. As far as the sulphur goes. If you are inclined to view biological ascension as a devilish approach, you are bound to compare sulphur to hell. If you grant them a more positive approach you could refer to the various sulphur baths that people take in order to feel better. It is clear that the author of this text has made up her mind against the concept of biological ascension. Let's read on:They also apparently smell. They recommend bathing a lot as their bodies release plenty of toxins daily. Of course they say its because they are ascending and their bodies are releasing all the bad stuff. Yes it's true, bodies release toxins which is bad stuff. But it normally gets into the body through consumption, your diet. Poor diet can equal excessive toxins and smelly ones being excreted. On top of that they recommend salt scrub baths with sulphur, which is a little ironic as sulphur among the NDE communities (NDEs being recognized as some of the most profound spiritual experiences) recognize sulphur as symbolic of hell.
Apparently, they can faint easily - and the two ascended people nearly fainted on an airplane trip. obviously becuase ascended beings require more oxygen to survive. that or fat was clogging their arteries. wait, im confused? I thought their large buddha bellies allowed them breathe in more air?As far as I remember ascending beings require more oxygen to sustain their bodies. They nearly fainted because there is a limited amount of oxygen available within a plane. Their belly required more oxygen than was available. If they fainted because of clogging arteries they would have this nearly-fainting experience all of the time, which doesn't seem to be the case. On top of that they have learnt different ways to deal with this lack of oxygen recently.
increased flatulance. . .??They say that only sometimes they need such prolonged periods of sleep, in order to allow their bodies to adapt to certain changes. They often say that they are thriving with energy because their vibration allows them to hold a higher vibration and more energy. To portray them as lazy is like saying that little children who take a nap during the day are lazy. I don't think that is fair.they also tire easily. That's right, growing bigger and bigger everyday like a good little boy makes you tire easily. That's why kids take naps and that's why those on the ascending path should sleep when they tire easily, up to twelve hours a day. Ascension! that are they are just fat and lazy. That are their diets are poor - having a sugar tooth myself I can tell you excesive sweet things can make you real sleepy - sugar is on their menu.
What else? oh yes masturbation just might be necessary to ascend. as transforming the sexual energy into something more, such as raising the sexual energy into the heart chakra as so many other spiritual masters of the past have done is WRONG. if you feel your kundalini energy rising and no one is around to see, you masturbate. oh yes, they also get hot flashes and all sorts of bodily aches.Come on, it's called the inner path for a reason - because it has nothing to do with outer churches or the outer body. This group gives a bad name to people who are honestly interested in the inner path. These people make me sick.
Dreamviews forum
In my search through their articles I only found one mention on the topic of masturbation. It was from a 1999-article in which it was said that masturbation could be useful for those beginning to run sexual energy. See Mastering Harmlessness to read more about it.
CONCLUSION
In a recent article from the SSOA (A Message from Ancestor Quan Yin, april 25, 2007) there was probably made a reference to my work on ordering the material by topic from the SSOA-site in the period 2003-2005 (see the third paragraph from below). It was stated that this work would actually break up holographic thought-form for those reading it. I will write about this in some later article (see In Response to Quan Yin).
And still here I am, defending Mila and Oa's work against these 'these people make me sick' accusations. Perhaps it would indeed be better to just close down the complete SSOA-excerpts section and not attract all kinds of people. This would mark a further departure from their paradigm, even though I think it has always been quite useful, not only for me but for quite a few readers as well. It has helped them to find their way to the SSoA and to study them.
When I try to defend them I notice that I am not able (and perhaps not willing) to defend everything they say. For instance I was never in favor of any scrubs nor of any external factors that would help the ascension process.
A mirror that the author of this forum-post presents for me is that is perhaps better not to have too many comments about the SSoA. Perhaps it is better to just leave them be and express my own path? Attacking them is not really an act of harmlessness, although I have never felt that I really attacked them in any way. I did express some critical remarks on certain elements within their paradigm, but that is quite different from the approach of Juroara. The fact however is, that my perspective is still heavily intertwined with that of the SSOA, which makes it hard to ignore them.
It is funny that these things occur right at the time that I decided to focus more on my own dreamtime and the ability to increase the intraselfular-tuning process (see Dreamtime fitness). It is also interesting to note that both Ken and Monique are playing with intriguing new concepts as well. I will keep them all at bay until I have established a more trustworthy connection with all those other parts that comprise me. Perhaps it would be better to just turn off the computer for three months and only focus on my own mirrors and dreamtime events. Well, we'll see what transpires.
