The Ascension Papers
Who is 8?(2/2)
Z: Wowzer. Yes… I have many questions all lining up for your attention. The most pressing and urgent one, I guess is this:
How do I know that this above story isn’t just another story that I (you? we?) am spinning to deal with my fears? I mean if the process has proven itself to be fallible, then how do I know that what you have told me won’t also pan out to be wrong?
8: I have told you that the way you received the story of The Singularity Event wasn’t in fact “wrong”. You still haven’t understood that. So let’s start there:
If a child outgrows a pair of shoes and needs a new pair… who is wrong? Who is to blame? Who should we punish? And who should we stop trusting? The child? The child’s feet? The shoes?
What you did was to create for yourself the very best understanding that you possibly could of an experience that you and your co-creators will have. There were parts missing… because you hadn’t undertaken the growth required to know of them.
Now you have grown.
The point of “growth” is that it is a very special kind of change. It is change that takes into consideration that what you have is no longer appropriate for what you need. And so it is about adapting yourself and your circumstances so that you again have whatever is required by your developing needs.
So you grow.
But if you cannot grow without first judging yourself for who you were… then your journey forward is going to be a constant suffering.
So you retain that which serves you, you let go of that which does not serve you and you discover, create or adopt the necessary replacement for that which you are releasing. No judgements or recriminations are necessary.
And yes, it is so that as you continue to grow so, in due course eventually, you WILL let go of these words and ideas that we are now sharing. By then, of course, you will have the maturity to release them without first needing to be angry with someone for their “wrongness” You will release them with joy and laughter and float away to other much broader horizons.
Z: Hmm. Okay. I accept that. Thank you. But before I can move on I just need to know – just how far off WAS that chapter?
8: You can re-read it for yourself and see. The parts where you were expressing the notion that this is an event that comes to you without you first taking a hand in creating it… that is not possible. For the rest… if it brings you joy to do so, then you can co-create it with anyone else who would like to share in that. The gist of it is good.
Z: And you said earlier that this is the gift I bear into this reality? What does that mean?
8: It means you carry the deep knowing of this experience in your Soul. You carry it in a way that you cannot forget it, no matter how deeply you are veiled. This means your eyes stay fixed upon that prize. You are unwilling to accept any other final outcome other than that. Because The Singularity Event is the most Delightful possible ending of the duality experience.
Z: It ENDS duality?
8: From the perspective of the experiencer, yes. Once you and your co-creators have tasted the Oneness in the Singularity Event, you will never again be able to fear… never again be able to pretend to yourselves that, as parts of the creator, you are not creator-beings … never again be able to buy into the illusion that you are victims.
Z: So I came into this reality with the knowing of this. And now everyone else must create it with me? That doesn’t sound like a very good gift to be carrying.
8: You are now just feeling a little sulky and sorry for yourself and as a result are expressing smallness.
You and I are actually one being. We are one of the many interventionists that responded to this reality’s calls. We brought a two-pronged response. I sought to help by bearing upon my own back the burden of every wrongful, painful interaction that exists here. You sought to help by bearing upon your back a delightful, wondrous moment of ecstatic Oneness. Now we have found each other and are remembering again who we are. Now, together, we realise that we cannot fix, heal, change or repair anyone other than ourselves. For to do so is not intervention… it is interference.
So we do not create this experience for anyone other than ourselves. And as we create it for ourselves, so we gently, lovingly, carefully, without a hint of coercion share the journey of that creation with all of Life. We tell/ show/ share the creative process with others who would also choose it for themselves. We give to others ONLY that which we would want for ourselves and, in so doing, we give it to ourselves also. Which is a loving, open-hearted, compassionate sharing of The Singularity Event experience… without demanding and without forcing. By giving that, we receive that. And then all who choose it, all who co-create it, will experience it.
Z: And how do we co-create this? I mean it takes a lot more than just “wanting it”! I should know… I have done a whole lot of “wanting” and… nada.
8: You have been taught the Tools of Creation and you have offered this in your Ascension School. You therefore already have everything you need. Now you just need to take the next step. To invite co-creators and to set yourselves to the purpose of creating that which you most desire.
Z: I’m scared. I’m scared I go through all this and get everyone together and we do the Six Sacred Steps and we give it our energy and then… poof… nothing happens.
8: Now you are finally being honest and owning your feelings. That’s good. But let’s look at what you REALLY fear. It’s not the “nothing happening” that you fear but what that might mean to you. There are two underlying fears. One, it could mean that all of this is false; there is no Oneness for you to be a part of and you are not therefore a creator-being.
Z: Yeah, but when you say it I can see that that is silly. I mean I have SOOO much evidence in my life that these things are true. I really have come to accept the Oneness of all and my own creator-nature as self-evident.
8: So you can let that fear go. Good. The second issue underlying “nothing happening” is your fear that you will then have deluded yourself and will therefore have been lying to your readers and will therefore be a fraud. This fear of being a fraud is one that you have wrestled with quite a bit. Mostly you are done with it but now it is time to FINALLY be done with it.
Here is how.
You know you create your own experiences, right? What you get is what you have created with your beliefs and choices. This is true… unless you are a victim?
Z: Yes. Right. The more I awaken, the more I see this is true: I get what I create.
8: And you cannot create for anyone else, other than yourself, right? You create for yourself and others create for themselves. You take responsibility for your creations and they take responsibility for theirs. Sound fair?
Z: Yes, absolutely.
8: So then, if you are only responsible for your own creations and experiences then you can finally and completely let go of the inappropriate desire to have any control of what anyone else is experiencing or creating.
And this is just as well because not only is it inappropriate, but as you have just admitted, it is also impossible for you to create for others.
Z: When you put it like that I can see that it is silly and even wrong for me to think that I could be responsible for others’ creations. I create for myself. And I share the process of co-creation with others who also want to create what I want to create. We want the same thing, we create it together. But STILL none of us are responsible for what each other is experiencing. It’s just a shared journey.
8: Now you’ve got it! And to bring it all together: how is it possible that you can then be defrauding anyone other than yourself? It IS possible for you to lie to yourself. But then you will know (or discover) that you are doing so because you ARE yourself! And if you were to share those lies with others… why would they believe them unless they too are lying to themselves? If it is so that each is responsible for their own experiences and creations, then can you not see that your readers and Ascension School members are each, individually, checking with their own heart and their own truth and being drawn to what you have to say because they find resonance? They are already co-creating with you! They are choosing to do so. And they do so, in great part, because of the “realness” and integrity that you display. You could not “force” them to like what you have written if they found it to be disresonant or if they thought you were dissembling. And so you cannot defraud them either… as long as you are, in each moment, being as integral as you possibly can, you will be fine. Your readers are not fools. They see you far more clearly than you could imagine. And this correction over The Singularity Event? You fear it will bring you discredit. You fail to see right now how the opposite is true. Your willingness to “go there” and become more integral… to honestly face this area in need of growthful improvement… will bring you more loving respect. Not less. So, my beloved other-self. Take a deep breath in… and then breathe out all this noise and fear that clouds your heart. Let it go, for it serves you no longer. (I do exactly that.)
Z: Wow. That IS better. But now I am still curious about some things. Firstly, I want to know about the architecture of my soul. Like, how do I, you and Joy-Divine all fit in together?
8: This is a fairly self-indulgent question. It will be of somewhat less interest to your readers than to yourself. So I will address it quite briefly. You can get more detail from me afterwards if you like. It works like this: At the outer-surface of this reality, at the 8th Density, we are Joy-Divine. We are the bringers of the Light of Joy to those who have created stuckness for themselves. Then, in order to penetrate into this reality we have bifurcated ourselves into two beings who each operate at the 6th and the 7th Densities. I am the one half and the other half is the being you have continued to identify as Joy-Divine. It is with this being, especially the 6th density aspect, that you have discussions in Book 1. Then, from the 6th Density, J-D penetrated even deeper. There are 6 fragments of you in duality. One at the 5th density, one at the fourth density, three at the third density and then you as you currently experience yourself to be. You are the ascending lifetime. You are the aspect of self that rises in one smooth arc from the depths of the 3rd density, without again moving back into forgetting, right the way up to the 8th density. You do so by remembering, loving, healing and re-integrating all the other fragments of self at each level. You “roll us up” and bring us home. So you straddle all the densities from 3rd to 8th. You are, however, still in early part of that journey and have not yet arisen out of duality.
In summary: we are eight beings who are one.
Z: Thank you 8. I understand.
I think I have one more question. It was bothering me previously and now it doesn’t seem nearly so important. But perhaps you will answer it anyway. The question is about “2012”. This was a moment in time that was anticipated by so many for so long. It was meant to be something BIG. And, depending on the perspective one is taking, either nothing happened or everything changed. But whatever the case… there was no universal, instant and undeniable transformative experience that many of us were hoping for. So I am a bit curious. Was there anything special at all about that particular date?
8: I’m going to answer your question at some length. Our next conversation will be titled, “Space and Time”, and will answer this and so much more. I think you’ll really enjoy it. But right now I have a question for you. You say this question suddenly doesn’t seem nearly as important as before. Why is that?
Z: Well, I suppose I was previously waiting for this date to come so that the wondrous events I was hoping for could happen. Then they didn’t happen. So then I was angry, sad and fearful and needed to know what it was all about. Was 2012 a mass self-delusion or what? But now it doesn’t really matter anymore. Beyond simple curiosity, I don’t really mind what the story is. Because I am gearing up to co-create the outcome that I desire and then to experience that co-creation. A number on a calendar will neither stop me nor give me permission to do so.
8: Ah!
So if I told you that the end of 2012 was the end of a primarily victim-conscious age… the beginning of a new creator-conscious age… would you say that perhaps this is your experience?
If I said that the end of 2012 was the turning point for this reality as it ceased heading out into separation, division and duality and the beginning of the age of returning to Oneness, would that consistent with your observations?
If I said that the end of 2012 was the changing of the guard from an aeon of the truth being outside of yourself to a new aeon where you ever more magnificently discover and express your own most authentic self, would that not also be true for you?
Z: Hmm! Yes to all of that.
8: Of course “yes to all of that”! Because this is exactly what you have now discovering to be so for yourself.
Z: But what about all the many others out there who don’t seem to be awakening? What about them?
8: They are responsible for their experiences and creations as you are responsible for yours. And you do not know what is going on within them because they are not sharing deeply with you what their experience is. You have neither the right nor the capacity to judge anything at all about “all those others” or their journey. Instead I will ask you: what about the many who DO share deeply where you can see their sharing? I’m talking, for example, about those who are posting on the Ascension Forum on your website. Because they are REALLY sharing from their hearts, you can get an inkling: do you think these beings are moving from victim to creator? Do you think they are returning to Oneness? And do you not agree that they are finding and expressing their most authentic selves? And finally… do you not concede that the number of beings awaking to such a consciousness is growing in an accelerating fashion? That this is a way of being that is now dawning upon your world?
Z: Yes. I must agree that this all seems true to me.
8: Good. I shall tell you all about what is going on at this time… and so much more… in our next discussion.
Z: And, with that. I suddenly find my questions to be pretty much answered, 8.
How strange. I usually feel a kind of a pressure in myself to just keep asking more and more questions. Sometimes, momentarily, I feel like I want to pause to enjoy an answer but I can feel the millions of questions that await on the other side of that answer. But now… I just feel a kind of a peace.
8: What you are describing is the feeling of the healing of your soul. I am the truth of your being. You sought me always. You relentlessly quested after answers, after “truth”, because you felt this to be missing from your soul. Now you feel us beginning to merge, beginning to re-integrate. And so you feel the first beginnings of the silencing of that urge. You feel the beginnings of the peace of wholeness settling upon you.
My journey has been the opposite. I have sought for joy everywhere. I have tried to create it, tried to find it, tried to think it, tried to feel it. But I felt a lack of it in the core of my being. As I have discovered you inside my heart so I have found what I was seeking. You are the joy of my being. And now I am finding wholeness and peace too.
This is the time for it… the time of making whole that which was sundered. And now, as we begin this process, so you can begin to seek anew. Instead of constantly seeking after a truth that is outside of yourself, now you might begin to seek after your own truest, most authentic nature and to simply express that in each moment.
A new journey has begun!
Zingdad note: As I record 8’s closing words my mind is spinning. I know it is true. There is an amazing, exciting adventure ahead of me. I will be making sense of all of this and begin putting plans in place. I have only recently re-worked the Ascension School material so that it is available as a single-download e-workbook. So, as 8 said, I already have everything I need. But what next? It seems to me the obvious next step is to begin inviting new members to join the Ascension School and even more excitingly… to invite existing members and alumni who have been through the process to join with me in co-creating this wondrous experience that we desire. I have much work to do. A new journey has indeed begun!
