the spiritual path to Ascension

Truth is the basis of the Universe, proclaims Vedanta, and the Upanishads. Can Artificial Intelligence critically assess its own work and present truth? Will we lose critical thinking skills if we rely on AI and CHAT-GPT as 300 million users do each week? Buddhi, the intellect, is nearest to the Atma and derives 80% of its illumination from the Atma itself. From where do users of AI obtain truth and exercise the intellect? These are deep questions raised in this article.

Around 50% of Australian young people have engaged in choking, or strangulation, during sex. This practice involves one person putting pressure on the neck of another, restricting breathing or blood flow (or both). Strangulation during sex carries a variety of risks. These range from effects such as bruising and vomiting to brain injury and death. Although rare, strangulation is the leading cause of death in consensual BDSM play.

Many of us look at our phone as soon as we wake up in the morning, but how many have stopped to consider how this unconscious habit could affect us? Is the impulse to grab your phone and scroll a negative one?

Many who seek Ascension and its attributes have studied one or another philosophy of life. Some have learnt about Plato, others Aristotle and Socrates. Here, we bring you news of the results of advanced digital imaging, which gives startling information about the last hours of Plato. Newly deciphered passages from a papyrus scroll that was buried beneath layers of volcanic ash after the AD79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius may have shed light on the final hours of Plato, a key figure in the history of western philosophy.

We see the impact of addictions in the detritus of human life: people in the grip of addiction frequently relegate their lives to the rubbish bin. Human life is sacred, and worth much more than the grasp of any addiction. In this article, we consider the effects of addition, the power of peer pressure and the needful guidance for children – how they might deal with problems. All problems are opportunities awaiting a solution.

Love is such a little word to express or contain so vast and complex an emotion. Love is the primary need of every child, and it continues to be avidly sought throughout life by everyone, consciously and unconsciously. And yet, it is so often misunderstood.

Previously, we have looked to personality type and human values. This series of articles will continue. In this discussion personality types and elements of spiritual intelligence are examined. We have given an overview on Spiritual Intelligence on this website (See here). Spirituality has been described by many. To experience ‘the spiritual’ means “to be in touch with some larger, deeper and richer whole that gives our present limited situation a new perspective.” We look to elements of practical spirituality.

Ascension – the rise to the higher dimension and higher consciousness within the human does not eliminate human sexuality. This is one of the primary energies in the human and ensures the propagation of the human race. We will not automatically ascend to light bodies – the physical body will remain. We will be human beings having a spiritual experience. And sexuality is NOT a dirty word in true humanness nor the spiritual path. Recent surveys of young people – and recent courtroom events – reveal a rise in sexual choking. For the young, this behaviour flows from the sexual landscape of pornography that shapes so much sexual activity in this day, this age. Some reflections and observations are offered.

We pass through boyhood, childhood, adolescence, youth, middle age and old age; it is an imperceptible but inevitable progress. We experience each only when we are passing through it. Problem behaviours such as teenage binge drinking, premature sexual activity, drug use, tobacco use, and obesity have a common root – the absence of self-discipline – and a shared antidote, namely, the development of self-discipline. Solutions are considered: management of thought, time and breath.

Lightworkers know that the Source of The ALL and that which comes from Source is in fact the World of Light. We return to the World of Light when we pass over from this life. We take our character with us when we return to the World of Light. Our character is like a precious jewel in the heart. We can make this jewel shine brightly.
