Ascension: "Many

Mansions"
Melora through Joanna Neff (Jyoti Alla-An)
(In this session Melora clarified in what dimension of consciousness she is
focused, correcting inaccurate information I received years ago from another
channel.) Included within Melora's discussion of Ascension is an excerpt from
a channeling by St. Germain, who frequently assists with healing during
sessions with Melora.)

We are Melora, and we welcome you today. At this time on the

Earth there is less consensus in consciousness than ever before
about what reality is. As many variations in consciousness as there are, there
are just as many experiences of reality. Now, those of you who are of Ascension
consciousness, because many of you are reading some of the same books, have
worked together in other incarnations and at the soul level you are re-grouping.
Those of you who are Star Beings are well-awakened and well-developed. In your
consciousness of your missions here you are grouping together, and so in that
way there's a certain consensus.

The sense of urgency you are feeling informs you that these are maximized
"times" to take advantage of the acceleration that's possible now. The way you
do this is by amplifying awareness of your multi-dimensional selves--facilitating
that, intensifying it, clarifying it, raising it vibrationally so that your energetic
field becomes elevated more and more, as we (as a group) are also doing at our
"level." (By the way, you "light workers" are incarnate beings who are awakening
to the light; you're essentially remembering, and "recommencing" work that you
abandoned in the forgetfulness of immersion in the 3rd dimension.)

We are aware of what are termed the "three waves" of Ascension, these being
that first a few will ascend, then a much larger group, and then an even larger
group. This way of interpreting Ascension is more for the convenience of the
human mind so that it can understand in terms of phases, but our perception is
that it is ongoing. What determines this sense of three waves has to do with
numbers of people and their readiness at certain points. So it will appear,
according to numbers, that there are three waves. The expectation has been
that ascending means that your bodies will leave the planet; however, most of
you who've ascended so far are still in their bodies. It is your consciousness that
has ascended. You could term this "more or less ascended." Ascension is a
gradual process of acquiring the Light Body and so in some sense all of you who
are on the Ascension path are moved pretty much into 3rd-4th dimension, will
be moving into 4th-5th dimension, and will finally be focused entirely in 5th
dimension.

Many of you already have done some ascending, if you understand. You're not
totally in 3rd dimension anymore. We don't see these boundaries the same way
you do, however. It's not just that all of a sudden you jump to 4th dimension; all
of a sudden you're in 5th. Again, Ascension is about focus of consciousness. At
various times you are focused completely in 3rd dimension. At other times,
when you're meditating or when you're really close to your guidance, you are
focused in "higher" dimensions. At the point at which you are focused totally in
one of these dimensions you will be there--the way you perceive you are here--
all the time. Currently when you experience 4th- or 5th-dimensional
consciousness you're not staying there for long periods of time. In other words,
your existence (or your experience) is not focusing you there "all the time."
Where your consciousness is for the longest period of time is where you "dwell,"
you see.

In addition to the "three waves" notion of Ascension, there is also the idea that
there is one Earth "final days" scenario in which there will be much destruction.
Then there's the "ascended Earth" scenario in which you experience 2000 years
of peace and harmony. There will be both because there's still belief in duality.
Sensing that there's either this or that is duality. Understand that in the
infinitude of possibilities there is not just a choice between one and the other. In
fact, there are many more choices, and of these happen simultaneously. There
are those who will experience no destruction whatsoever, and there are those
who will experience total devastation, and for them this will seem their entire
reality.

Regarding Ascension it would be more accurate to say that, in the middle of

things, you are becoming conscious of a process. What you call "The Ascension"
already started some "time" ago. What you have termed the opening of various
portals and gateways (Harmonic Convergence, the 11:11, the 12:12 and so on)
may be interpreted as massive changes in consciousness. That doesn't mean
that none preceded that. Remember: consciousness is the important key in
Ascension. Expansion of consciousness is what we term as Ascension.
And so until you are conscious of something it has virtually no value to you as a
Soul. Consciousness is the vehicle for space travel, time travel, inter-dimensional
travel, inter-dimensional communication, multi-dimensional integrity/integration.
Consciousness is the key to ALL.

We would suggest to you that this whole process that you call Ascension is
about focus of consciousness. For example, if you turn on the television and you
are watching this particular program (and we'll say that billions of people are
watching), what is occurring is merely that all of these people are focusing on
this program on the same channel at the same time. This is your part of the
process, as you would see it. It is as though these incredibly "high" numbers of
beings have turned on this station that is planet Earth with this particular
program going on and are now experiencing it together as they "watch" the
same program at the same time. Those of you who have Ascension
consciousness, who are developing your Light Bodies, who are calling for all of
your Higher Bodies to merge with you, are escalating your consciousness to a
point where your perception is catching up with your evolution.

Understand that what keeps you in 3rd density is your buying into its illusions
and your adhering to the belief structures that being focused there requires. This
effectively keeps you continuously experiencing 3-D sorts of dramas. What is
really happening in Ascension is that all Soul levels are now able to merge in
communication. This is the meaning of having all of the angelic helpers, all of
the Ascended Masters and their feminine counterparts, and what has been
termed "the monad," the Higher Self structure, and the Overbeings above that,
and so on. It is as though in a strictly 3rd-dimensional consciousness you have
no telephone. When you start to become conscious in 4th- and 5th-dimensional
ways, now you have a telephone that you can pick up. You can now "dial" your
Higher Self, and you can dial your personal guides of the light, and you can dial
the Ascended Masters. Do you see? You can call long-distance to your
Overbeing. What has made this communication possible is a certain level of
consciousness evolution. All experience of "reality" is based on your belief
structures, and your perception of that reality is either inhibited by or freed from
your belief structures. The Oneness IS all the time. The communication with all
Soul levels exists whether you take advantage of it or not. Because people in
3rd-density consciousness are simply not aware that that's a possibility, then
there might as well be a phone jack but no phone because they wouldn't dial up
even if they had a phone.

We have stated that Ascension is expansion of consciousness. It is about being

aware of more and more of the All That Is. We understand that it is difficult in
this plane NOT to think of it in linear terms--or that there is a timetable:
beginning, middle and end. Ascension is ongoing in all dimensions, into Infinity.
Your keen awareness of Ascension is based on awareness of a momentum of
energy going on in your sense of "now," and it will indeed reach its optimum
point energetically in what you term "the near future." This does not mean,
however, that those who are NOT riding this comet at this time will be left
abandoned. They will continue to grow and come to their own awareness, as you
have. There is just approaching, shall we say, what you might term "the crest of
the wave." It is easier to ride the crest of the wave on a surfboard than to rise up
from the bottom of the ocean and try to get somewhere.

Ascension & The Light Body

During the initial cycle of your Ascension you experience 3rd, 4th and 5th
dimensions simultaneously. This is actually your condition now, where you are
feeling a tug-of-war between what you perceive as the old ways of doing things,
including earning money, even relationships. All matters of 3rd-dimensional
experience are changing "form" for you. When you "go" 4th- and 5th-
dimensional it does not seem as though you suddenly skipped over to "the other
side." It is a gradual cellular process in which there is actually an increase in
light at the cellular level. You are actually aware of these crossings-over. Those
who have "elevated" awareness perceive you in transition as emanating light,
much as in the pictures of the angels and the disciples and Jesus--still physically
existing in the 3rd dimension but emanating light rays that they can see.

This is a transition stage in which you are becoming accustomed to your light
body. At this point you may be able to see your own light--at first more with your
inner vision, as others who are of elevated consciousness really are seeing your
light with their inner vision. In fact, your inner vision becomes more and more
acute in this process, and it appears as if you are seeing it with your physical
eyeswhat you term "clairvoyance." As you hold your hands before you, you see
the light around you, and you also become more and more in a state of pure joy
and love. So you experience relating to people in a whole new way. Even before
your consciousness permits you fully to transcend 3rd dimension you may go
through a transition in which you decide (on having acquired your light body) to
release the physical body and to "move forward" with just your light body. At this
time, however, the consciousness of most on the Ascension path is "inhabiting"
3rd, 4th and 5th dimensions simultaneously. Finally, in that magic year, 2012,
great masses will pull completely out of 3rd/4th/5th-dimensional consciousness
and be focused entirely in the 5th dimension.

Now this is important: When you focus your consciousness on where you desire
to go (which is, as we understand it, 5th-dimensional, at least), you will get there
"faster." Part of this reunion that Ascension represents is to understand that you
have control over just about the entire process. (Don't underestimate the
contribution of your guides, guardians and angels in this process, however!)
When you focus on "Yes, but what about getting a kerosene heater and laying in
supplies for when the Lizzies land?" you are shifting your focus back to 3rd-
dimensional reality. When you focus on moving through 4th dimension to 5th
dimension, you don't need to be concerned with staying warm, eating, having
electric light, etc. Your focus allows you to transcend those things. In addition,
we would suggest that there are no banking systems in the 4th and 5th
dimensions. These institutions (and you probably know every single type) will
not be going with you. They are, in fact, the very ones that will be, as you will
experience it, failing. The corporate structures, the International banking
systems, the political systems, and so forth, will not be coming with you, do you
see. An Earth remaining might or might not still have these structures in place,
depending on where everybody is at this time of the crest of the wave--including
those going 4th-dimensional, and maybe most especially because they are the
ones who have learned to manifest, which is the prime focus of energy in 4th
dimension: creating . . . instantly.

Ascension "Stew"
We have heard a number of you say that you are in a sort of "Ascension stew."
You're so actively pursuing many avenues in your Ascension path that you're
getting a bit muddled. We know some people whom we have affectionately
termed "Ascension junkies." These are people who sign up for some workshop
every other weekend. This is really protesting too much; it's saying, "This is NOT
working! I need to take another workshop." In the very process of taking such
workshops these people's belief structures are saying, "But I need to take yet
another workshop, because this doesn't seem to be working." This is a real 3-D
kind of busy-ness! If you have ever needed to blow your referee's whistle and
say, "Time out!" you are not alone in this discernment.

You perhaps have stopped accepting everything hook, line and sinker.
Something tells you "Oh. It's not that after all; it's this." Perhaps you have
stopped swinging from one end of the pendulum to the other but have come
back into your own inner guidance and said, "Well, wait a minute. This does not
resonate with me" . . . period. What we're finding is that there is a lot of pressure
among people's friends who are also interested in these subjects to believe what
they believe. A lot of unreasonable levels of pressure make people feel uneasy
about going to their own guidance. We are saying that now it is even more
critical than ever to listen to your inner guidance and to follow that. We felt that
this was important to discuss because there are people coming to sessions and
they're competing with themselves! They make great strides in their spiritual
work, and they struggle and allow and achieve, and then they are very upset
and frustrated to hear from us that there is still work to do. We tell them that
God keeps changing too. Why wouldn't they?

Yes--coast for awhile between these great efforts that you make to learn and
grow, but understand that there is no cessation in growth at any level. The
sense of evolving also involves allowing--not trying and not forcing. We're NOT
saying "Don't explore various avenues of Ascension." We are, more, advocating
your knowing why you're doing this. Is your motivation coming from the "I've
never felt that I'm good enough" program? Is it coming from "I've got to learn
more faster, because if I would just BE, somehow that wouldn't be enough"
program? There are times when you say: "I ought to know more. I ought to be
more adept" at this or that. In contrast is a situation in which you go to a group
meeting or a workshop and you say to yourself: "I just don't see what so-and-so
is talking about. It just doesn't seem to relate to me, and it seems very upsetting
to everyone, and they think I'm just not listening or that I have resistance, but it
doesn't resonate with me."

Don't be so hard on yourselves. Pass this along, go out there, and just be
lovingly firm and say: "I'm glad you have found this out for yourself and that it
seems to be so perfect for you, but it's just not comfortable for me." Allow other
people to have their own viewpoints and differences, as we always allow you to
do. In our service as guides for you, we don't say "You must believe this or
you're not going to ascend" or "You must believe this or we will no longer work
with you." Do you see? Trust that (frustrating as it feels) for those of you who
seem even more compelled to do 3-D kinds of work, you do have the ability to
balance expressing your mission through this work with the building of your
Ascension body. What you're really doing is matching mastery of your 3rd-
dimensional world with that of what you term non-3D kinds of interests in
Ascension. Many of you have a tendency to believe it's going to be one or the
other, that it is not properly Ascension work if you're having to earn a living
doing some blatantly 3-D thing, etc. It's all one. Only the mind makes these
seem separate.

Understand, however, that it's easier to let your Higher Consciousness descend
and anchor to you. Thus, what many of you are doing now is anchoring in 3D in
ways you couldn't before. Now that you have evolved your conscoiusness, and
now that you have developed your energy skills and comprehension of higher
being-ness and so forth, you can be appropriate anchors for higher energies
because you are no longer in danger of becoming lost in 3rd-dimensional
density. One of the main points of consciousness held by us beings observing
your process of Ascension at this time is that you are so much vaster and more
powerful in the light than you can ever still imagine. When we look at you from
our perspective, it is difficult for us to fathom that you can't see this about
yourselves. Although we do not experience the frustration that you do--the
human emotional palette, if you will--we do feel the urgency because we see the
incredibly infinite potential that is there for this light exponent of which we have
spoken. In our own way, we do have difficulty in consciousness "understanding"
of why you wouldn't say: "All right! Bring it on! I'm going for it! I know it's hard
work, but I can make it. This is just one body, and I'm ascending."

Wishing you great joy of the Light, we are Melora.

Melora Talks: The Sedona Series 7/10/98 (Excerpt from Friday

evening talk)

ASCENSION
L (female): I'm somewhat new to the whole reality of Ascension. Could you give me any hints
on exactly what that is and what happens when you ascend?

This is a complex question. All right. Our perception of Ascension is expansion of consciousness.
Consciousness is all. What you are not conscious of is virtually useless to you in terms of the
Ascension process. And you become conscious, say, of this workshop, or you become conscious of
something through an article that you've read. Suddenly you've opened up to possibilities that
broaden this circumference within which you used to be confined--this smaller circle, this smaller
sphere of consciousness. Now you allow more into possibility and belief, and the sphere of your
consciousness grows even larger. There's an even greater circumference area to which you now have
access. Even more of such flexibility allows a greater consciousness of all that may be possible for
you.

After you do this for awhile, you soon come into contact with Higher Beings, do you see? And you
soon come into contact with your own potential as an exalted being, your own Oneness, your own
Divinity. As long as you're in this compressed, smaller consciousness space, you can't have access to
what we've just described. So there are certain steps and stages of opening your consciousness that
are required before you can get to the stage where you suddenly FEEL the presence of such Great
Ones.

Ascension, as it was used in the Bible, is usually specific to the story of Jesus, who ascended to
heaven--who took his body to heaven. Where you all are on your Ascension path is this infinite in
description as there are people. So there's not just one Ascension scenario. Not everybody's leaving
on December 31, in the year 2011. You're all in various stages of Ascension because you're all in
various stages of consciousness. And it is true that NEVER in your recorded history, and in
unrecorded history, has there been such a great moment in such great numbers--millions of people
who have come into Ascension of consciousness--who are allowing that movement out of 3-D
immersion in consciousness. You're saying: "I am letting my consciousness now start to leave its
absorption HERE. Yes. I'm still in the body, so I'd better stick around in it. But I am not spending so
much of my focused consciousness here. I'm spending more of it in 5th-Dimensional consciousness,
where love is the center."

That reminds us to tell you that what has happened, what people are perceiving as more and more
encounters with "dark" entities, is that in the ascension of your consciousness, you're moving through
4th Dimension WHILE you're coming into 5th-Dimensional consciousness, and so the perception is:
"They're jumping out of the woodwork."

What you do is just go faster to the higher octave of 4th Dimension, and don't hang out in the lower
octave as your consciousness moves through there, because you're going to become clairvoyantly
aware of some of these reptilian beings, and so forth. Instead of contracting in fear and therefore
ANCHORING yourself to the lower part of 4th Dimension, you simply keep going and don't get
stuck there. When you keep going, you come to that silvery lining that is the higher octave, the
"dividing line," between 4th Dimension and 5th Dimension. That's possible IN THE BODY. Dr.
Joshua David Stone lists what he has been told are particular Ascension hierarchies. Yes. You can be
ascended up to 9th- through 12th-dimensional consciousness and still be in your body--and still share
3rd-Dimensional consciousness.

The "forecast" for Ascension, as we understand it, is that you will bring your bodies to Light. That is
most difficult to explain. How can that be? We would suggest that this will happen as you focus more
and more of your consciousness on where you're going rather than on where you are now. So every
time you let your consciousness be pulled back to the dramas of your life "here," and get focused
there . . . . you go in the opposite direction, if you will, from Ascension.
 ASCENDING . . . THE EASIER WAY
(St. Germain through Joanna Neff)
Every great age represents a shift in consciousness (for example, the
Renaissance), only none will have compared to the one you are going through
now in your Ascension. Undertand that this is not the first time Ascension will have
happened. It happens with regularity and in cycles. Change is the nature of all
existence, but in 3rd dimension it is the most difficult to relate to change because
"just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water," there's Bruce the
shark! One of the greatest fears of all human beings is big changes, and yet so
many of you are actively seeking these shifts now. However, you imagine that if
you shift in these ways in your Ascension path it's all going to be beautiful and that
you can now coast for 5,000 lifetimes, or whatever.

There is never any coasting at any level. In the density of the human bod this
infinite sea of changes seems intolerable. Ascension work does seem like a
sacrifice to the human body, to the human ego and brain, for whom it is so difficult
to understand what the rest of you is doing at the Soul level, that notoriously has
no clue about your spiritual body and consciousness that are driving you. It is
those parts of you--not your spirit, not your soul--that rebel and say, "I want to lie
on a beach in Mexico." The irony of this is that you are the person who is "taking
care" of yourself, the person who is creating the tools for your own Ascension.
When you accept this responsibility, then the resentment goes away because then
you have to say, "Oh. I'm the one who's not doing this for myself."

Actually, you gain many more "brownie points" by doing what you're doing in a
physical body than you do in a disembodied state . . . which is why you decided to
come here. (Unencumbered by the body, you experience changes as great
adventures and opportunities.) This is why your achievement here is great and
why you're heroes to us. For all of the angels and all the Ascended Masters and all
the other great beings of light--every "tiny" thing that you accomplish here, in the
light, is magnified exponentially. Only YOU, yourselves, do not see the greatness
of your being. You are really here in service to a larger proportion of those souls
incarnating who will now have a jump start in their spiritual paths that would not
have been possible otherwise.

The effect of this work reverberates exponentially throughout all the angelic
hierarchies and through all the other great Light hierarchies, great rays and the
Elohim. The gigantic vibrational repercussions of this are beyond even the
Ascended Masters' comprehension. What you think of as your small proportion of
these processes is actually a tremendous role that you have chosen to play. When
we have told you this before, you've said: "Yeah. Yeah. Right. Right. They're just
trying to keep us going here for our Ascension work. They're just paying lip service
