Is Biological Ascension an Example of Reality Inflation?

In February 2008 I received an email from Ophelia who responded to the article on Reality Inflation. She not only questioned the concept of biological ascension but she also touched upon various other interesting issues. I have added a few thoughts in between. Enjoy the ride.

Ophelia: "The signs of biological ascension - a subject that has for some reason birthed in me so much skepticism, why I don't know, somehow it has. When I came across SSOA over a year ago I was very enthusiastic about all of the material and very quickly and ambitiously attempted to apply all that was suggested by them and read all the possible effects material including the signs of biological ascension. I didn't quite get very far with experiencing things as 'advanced' as new organ formation but there was one thing that did occurr and has left me baffled since then. I did experience the strangest of cravings for food, potatoes, salt, chocolate... and a long list more, all quite as described by SSOA, and consequently an increase in body mass - also as mentioned by SSOA specifically in the belly area.

...Now, I've been wondering how much of all of this is something I've programmed myself into? I've made myself believe that I will put on weight when I started my SSOA encounter and I did, but was that a sign of my 'ascension progress' or was it a natural consequence of a change in eating? and then on the other hand if it was only a consequence of eating change then why did I not lose the weight as I distanced myself from SSOA and lost my belief in many of their concepts?

... What I'm questioning is the ascension concept itself - is it something real or is it just a 'reality inflation' concept we have programmed ourself into, the product of a connection with dimensional beings who have suggested that it exists and needs to be pursued. And Mila and Oa for example by actually fully believing it and sacrificing all that they are and who they are have given this concept life in their reality and have attracted others who are open to these ideas and thus are feeding the concept and allowing it to grow and develop....but is it there really, or is it just as real as anything else we dedicate so much energy, attention and dedication to?

Has ascension as a biological process been proven in any way? Do you know of anyone who has analyzed it from the scientfic perspective (not that I am a fan of science, cause it does tend to limit rather than inspire!!!???). For example all these glands and organs that Mila and Oa have supposedly developed are they detectable in any way? I know that supposedly Mila got rid of her cancer through ascension, correct?

Hi Ophelia, as far as I know there has not been anyone who has scientifically proven any of the biological changes that would come forward during the ascension process. Although I have heard of quite a few people who would have turned rather sick while 'speed-ascending'.

It could well be that because of the diet people gain weight and not so much as a result of the ascension process. And indeed, perhaps the whole concept of biological ascension is a created reality by some higher dimensional beings who feed this concept into the minds of Mila and Oa. Perhaps these ideas are sustained by all those who are willing to support this concept, just like certain 'heavens' would continue to exist (or perhaps would have existed) because people still believe in it. It would have been easier if you would develop a purple nose during the process, unfortunately (...) this is not the case and a piece of the body that can change for all kinds of reasons is the first thing to change: the belly.

Ever since I started to allow this biological ascension reality in my personal reality framework I have wanted to test the validity of this approach because something within me resonated strongly with many of the concepts. Apparently even without having gained an X-ray photograph of a newly developed organ I still hold on to the possibility because of the increased sense of joy that I have experienced during the years. My breath has turned wonderful most of the time and I enjoy the thoughts that come to mind and the idea of exploring harmful thoughts and turning into more harmless ones is a beautiful way to live my life.

This is not to say that I am still not waiting for the moment that something new develops, because an increased diaphraghm is not easy to prove, although it sure feels like it. A new organ, however, would be more impressive and as soon as I have enough confidence that indeed something has grown, I would head for a doctor immediately, if only to prove to myself that indeed biological change is possible.

Right now I am in the process of tuning into possibilities to get a hold on the etheric realms and the dreamtime body in order to see if something is happening from that perspective, because I am rather fed up with believing all kinds of things without seeing/hearing anything of it.

WHAT ON EARTH TO MANIFEST?
Ophelia goes on to touch upon the topic of manifesting matters by using clear intentions:

Ophelia: "So to conclude. If we had these'goals' very specified, very clearly outlined in our minds we could reach whatever result we wanted. Then on the other hand, do we really know (I speak for myself mainly of course) what we want and what exactly we want to achieve? this type of 'reality inflation' works best with material things, with very physical and every day things but when it comes to the more spiritual and less defined realms I personally come across problems. Because those 'other' more non-physical realms are so undefined and un-palpable for me the inflation technique seems to falter. Seems like whatever I can't fully imagine, define and understand I cant bring into my reality. Does it work the same for you?"

I really like this mode of thinking. If we are mainly focused on the physical life with all of our senses aimed at it, how on Earth can we intend something that is basically of a very different nature, a non-physical nature? How can we intend all kinds of non-physical, etheric/astral/ancestral/higher-dimensional things when we hardly consciously know anything about that field?

The only thing we can base our motivations on is the belief on the words of people who claim to have been there. Like I have said a bit earlier I really am ready to enter those realms with a clear consciousness in order to actually see and witness what is happening: it is time that all those aspects of me that I am unaware of start cooperating with me. It is time for them to try a bit harder in translating their information into understandable images, ideas or symbols. I think it is an example of distortion to have too much faith in unconscious activities that would have been ignited by your conscious intentions without you having the ability to verify things.

I would first want a first-hand introduction to these unseen (or less seen) territories of consciousness like 'the etheric planes for dummies' or 'astral advice for novices'. These courses should be given by those aspects of me that know about these matters. If there is nothing to hide and if indeed it is time to ascend our consciousness I see no reason why we should not be carefully informed during dreamtime or meditation. I'd see: higher dimensional parts: work on it! I'm ready to listen. Get out of your seat and invest!

Only if we know the reality of other layers of existence are we able to change anything, consciously. I suppose there are many forces who would prefer us not to gain such an increased level of understanding, but to them I would say: go and play with yourself and leave me and myself alone ;-)

...... And in both of the concepts (desteni and SSOA) we end up drowning in ton sand tons of affirmations and intentions and 'I intend this...'and 'I intend that...' or 'I forgive myself for allowing myself this or that...' and if you're really honest and true with yourself at doing this one would have to intend and forgive all day long - I'm sorry but that just seems strange , there must be a different way...

I'm trying so desperately to find my OWN truth, something that is not a product and result of what I've read and heard of. I need something authentic in my life. My feeling tells me that it's nature I have to reach to. That there if I clear - not necessarily STOP the mind, I will find what i'm looking for, or maybe I'll understand that there is really nothing to be found?

Yes, Ophelia, I have mentioned this aspect of 'intention-stress' once before in a turtle called Pendelum Dependency and Paranoia. I prefer to have only a few intentions and they change regularly depending on the situation. There is one intention that remains quite popular and that is the 'I intend to ascend in a pace that my body can handle'.

Oh, and just out of curiosity, do you know anything about Drunvalo Melchizedek and his flower of life theory (and the merkaba energy flow that goes with it)? and also maybe you know something about EFT - emotional freedom techniques? I've come across the two within the last few months and have been trying to position them somehow in my mind. Some perspective would be great. Drunvalo in his flower of life books presents almost all the same concepts (or at least very similar) to both desteni and SSOA - I dont know exactly what he wrote, I just spoke to someone who read his book and I had a aglance through the book as well very shortly. But he for example supports merkaba which SSOA calls bad and of lower vibration....

I have read two books by Drunvalo (I keep them in my cellar) and ever since I started to read the SSOA material I have adopted their ideas about the angular nature of the merkaba and therefore I prefer not to spend too much time on Drunvalo Melchizedek and his merkaba-theories. In my early days I wrote a page on the merkaba, perhaps it can shed some light on my perspective.
