Sometimes, when writing in this blog, I wonder if the occasional visitor might think that I'm a tad loony. I mean after all, this is my one place to express my uncensored views about spirituality, magic, karma and other stuff.... And I unashamedly declare that I believe in the existance of magic, spirits and aliens...
However, after receiving the following facebook message from a well-meaning individual who attended the Love and Light Festival this past Saturday at Suntec, I am starting to feel that at the very least, I sound a whole lot saner than whoever it was who came up with the following. Incidently, from a friend who visited the event, the following information was printed in brochures that was then distributed freely.
I really really wonder if any mainstream, non-new age person reading it might just think every new ager is a bit "insane".
However, before I give my own commentry... I'll let you read it:
(The following information DOES NOT originate from me, nor do I support what is being stated in the following passages.)
---------------------------------------------------------
New Agers in general believe that Mother Earth was a 3rd density Consciousness or Being until several decades ago when It began Its journey of ascending to the 4th density consciousness. It is partly because of this transition that there is an increased level of earth changes in recent years and in the years to come.
As part of Mother Earth's Ascension humans have, broadly speaking, three evolutionary choices:
1. Humans can choose to remain in the 3rd density consciousness, in which case they will not be able to withstand Earth's rising vibrations and must therefore pass on and reincarnate on another 3rd density planet to continue their journey of evolution.
2. The second option is for them to raise their consciousness to the 4th density along with Mother Earth, and together they will create Heaven on Earth and usher in the New Golden Age. Some may however choose to pass on and reincarnate on Mother Earth as 4th density newborns.
3. The third option is for them to raise their consciousness to the 5th density, in which case they can continue to live on Earth but with their crystalline light body they will have the ability to travel or even migrate to other planets and dimensions.
Ascension is usually a gradual evolutionary process that takes many millennia and lifetimes but it is believed that in current times it can happen within the next few decades. This is because of several celestial and cosmic events, such as:
a. The Galactic Shift, a phenomenon where our solar system passes through the Photon Belt region (a band of non-polarized electromagnetic energy) of the Milky Way galaxy. This passage occurs only once every 108 million years and lasts 150-200 years, and is believed to have begun sometime between 1900 to 1950. This shift has the most powerful influence of all these cosmic events.
b. The 2012 Precessional Alignment, a phenomenon where Earth's axis is tilted to an angle that aligns with a constellation of highly-charged stars (or quasars) in the centre of the galaxy that emit very high frequencies. This alignment occurs once every 26,000 years and will last for 3 days, presumably from 20th to 22nd Dec 2012.
c. The large number of highly-evolved Old Souls and New Children presently incarnated and still incarnating on earth. The earlier ones are the Violet, Violet-Indigo and Indigo children (who are adults by now), and the later ones are the Crystal, Dragon and Rainbow children.
d. The assistance from highly-evolved beings and ET civilizations.
The above events have the effect of accelerating Mother Earth's and Humanity’s ascension process, mainly through the non-polarized or high frequencies that they bring to the earth plane. These frequencies are the main cause of many people recently 'waking up', looking for deeper meaning to life rather than just plodding along.
It is currently estimated that the majority of humans will choose to remain in the 3rd density consciousness, while most of the rest will choose to ascend to the 4th density consciousness and only a very small minority will ascend to the 5th density consciousness. These are choices made on the soul level which may or may not be conscious to us and they are made based chiefly on one’s spiritual readiness to ascend.
Whether or not one is a believer in Ascension, spirituality today remains very much the same as it has always been. And it is to Be thyself, Accept thyself, Love thyself, Heal thyself, Express thyself and Realize that All is but Thyself. Then there is nothing to fear but everything to love, enjoy and appreciate. Ascension is just a by-product.
We hope this information helps rather than frightens. Ultimately, 5th density is not better than 4th density, which in turn is not better than 3rd density. They are just different paths of evolution and whichever path that the soul chooses, it has been done so for the highest good of all and with the good counsel of the Infinite Creator.
Of course, the "indigo children" idea is today often credited to Edgar Cayce aka The Sleeping Prophet through the book "Psychic Children: A Sign of Our Expanding Awareness" by authors Peggy Day and Susan Gale. Problem is, I'm having a freakishly hard time trying to find an actual quotation from Cayce mentioning the term "Indigo Children". Apparently according to some sources, he did mention the birth of some rather unusual individuals at the end of the twentieth century and for some years after that... but I don't think he said anything about anyone being "indigo".
Now that we're actually asking questions and finding out about where ideas come from... you might want to ask if "Mother Earth" is actually "ascending". That might also lead you to ask more probing questions about what this whole notion of "ascension" is about.

I'd like to state for the record that the abovementioned views are NOT something that the general new age community believes in. I am in this community and I DO NOT subscribe to those views. Neither do dozens of other people, some of whom are owners of new age shops and establishments. Just because the Fluffy Bunny-Love and Light segment of our community yaps louder, doesn't mean that that's the view we all hold to.
I came across similar information some years back, and I'm ashamed to say that at one point, I did subscribe to the idea of "ascension" and some of the loony stuff that the above passage alludes to. I'm glad however that my own skeptical nature won out in the end and I decided quite some time ago that a lot of the stuff that you have just read is total BS.
The problem with the New Age scene is that I don't see many people asking the simple questions : "How do you know that what you believe is true?", "Who was the originator of this idea?" and "Where did the originator of the idea get his idea from?"
I mean, no one I have met has asked if the following is actually true:
"Mother Earth was a 3rd density Consciousness or Being until several decades ago when It began Its journey of ascending to the 4th density consciousness."
I mean, how the bleeping blazes do we know if the whole 3rd, 4th and 5th density system is true? And if I'm reading the abovementioned passage right, lots and lots of humans are going to die in the coming "ascension of earth". Naturally, the new ager promoting the idea probably doesn't think he/she is going to be one of the ones...
"...not be able to withstand Earth's rising vibrations and must therefore pass on and reincarnate on another 3rd density planet to continue their journey of evolution."
And here's another thing I'm having trouble with...
"The large number of highly-evolved Old Souls and New Children presently incarnated and still incarnating on earth. The earlier ones are the Violet, Violet-Indigo and Indigo children (who are adults by now), and the later ones are the Crystal, Dragon and Rainbow children...."
Firstly, ARE there even such things as "Indigo" children???
Some years back, I posed this question to F... who I'm glad to say... plaused for a long moment and then said... "I don't know."
Then I suggested the following...
"Well, since you have a method of accessing your own inner knowing... and since most of the people we know are trained in some form of divination... why not let's just ask... find out for ourselves... ARE THERE SUCH THINGS AS INDIGO CHILDREN???"
And wouldn't you believe it... the answers we got from our own divinations were a resounding "NO!" Well, that would also cast doubt on the existance of "crystal", "dragon" and "rainbow" children.
(Seriously folks, especially for those of you who dabble in divination... for cripes sake, what the heck is your skill in this area for, if not to help you answer some serious questions? If you trust it enough to use it in your daily decision making, why not also use it to ask if something is real? Unless of course, you don't really trust your own skills in this area.)
Now, some of you might argue that there is an increasing amount of kids who are born with ADD or ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder )or diagnosed as being with such issues ... a characteristic often associated with "Indigo Children"...
But if you honestly think about it, the increasing number of cases could ALSO be due to the effects of the modern lifestyle on children. Despite the increasing focus on nutrition, the reality is that lots of kids aren't really eating healthily. The modern diet brings kids in contact with unhealthy things like snackfoods and sugary sweets at higher frequency than at any other time in history. This brings to mind something I saw in "Supersize Me"... A school for delinquents actually solved problems of delinquent behaviour and lack of attention in class by cutting out all sugar from their school menu. Only water is dispensed by the vending machines and canteen food consists of fresh, organic produce that is low in red meat and high in veggies.
If YOUR kid is diagnosed ADD or ADHD, could the problem really be his/her DIET/LIFESTYLE??? I mean, really... is there a need to give your child a fancy label just because you don't want to recognise a problem that might be there?
So where did the whole notion of "Indigo Children" come from? Well, as far as is actually documented, the term was coined by Nancy Ann Tappe, a psychic who wrote "Understanding Your Life Through Colour" (1982). Here's a quote from Tappe herself:
"The Indigo phenomenon has been recognized as one of the most exciting changes in human nature ever documented in society. The Indigo label describes the energy pattern of human behavior which exists in over 95% of the children born in the last 10 years … This phenomena is happening globally and eventually the Indigos will replace all other colors. As small children, Indigo’s are easy to recognize by their unusually large, clear eyes. Extremely bright, precocious children with an amazing memory and a strong desire to live instinctively, these children of the next millennium are sensitive, gifted souls with an evolved consciousness who have come here to help change the vibrations of our lives and create one land, one globe and one species. They are our bridge to the future...."

Now that we're actually asking questions and finding out about where ideas come from... you might want to ask if "Mother Earth" is actually "ascending". That might also lead you to ask more probing questions about what this whole notion of "ascension" is about.
I actually asked that question a long time ago... "What on earth is this Ascension thing anyway?" I never really got a clear answer from anyone ... really....
Now, traditionally "ascension" referred to directly entry into heaven/nirvana/the hereafter... without actually dying... In some religions, the said ascended person is taken up into heaven. In other religions, the body (sometimes laid out for a wake after an apparently physical death) of the ascended person is said to mysteriously vanish, vapourise or disappear.
For about a year or so, I kinda believed that truly, the end of our spiritual path on earth might indeed result in ascension... hey, everyone would like to "transcend" over to the hereafter without actually dying... and I'm no big exception.
Naturally I did my reading about this whole "ascension" business. After all, if you really believe you are going to ascend, why not find out as much as possible?
Over time, I lost my belief in "ascending" because, I came into contact with other new age ideas surrounding this concept. The one idea I really really dislike to this very day, is the notion that some ascended beings "ascended masters", who are allegedly loving, kind and have the welfare of humanity at heart, are passing half-assed messages of "love and light" to "channellers" who are then making tons of moolah off people who do not ask the relevent questions.
I recently gained much more enlightenment after reading a physics article than I have reading any "channelled" message by any number of "ascended masters".
Also it doesn't help that the originator of many of the modern ideas about ascended masters is Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, the founder of Theosophy, an individual whom I have felt for many years to be an untrustworthy drama queen, and who has been suspected of authoring quite a lot of the information she was allegedly "channelling" from her "mahatmas". :P
It also doesn't help that... after deciding to give modern Theosophists a chance and attending an introductory meeting at their Singapore HQ, that I left feeling I had attended a gathering of pretty narrow-minded and frankly downright hateful individuals who do not do proper research on what they are saying. In fact, I'd add that the Singapore government might want to look in on this organisation because the speaker was openly making comments that in any other normal religious organisation in this country, might be construed as insulting/slandering towards other mainstream beliefs. I was pretty shocked that in religion/race-sensitive Singapore, such comments could be made at a meeting which members of the public were invited to attend.

The modern ideas about ascension and ascended masters were somewhat developed by in individual named Guy Ballard and his wife Edna. He later founded the "I AM" movement / activity, which today remains popular... (albeit under a slightly different name)... despite the fact that the couple were convicted of fraud in 1942... (the judgement was later made void by the court .... its a long story and something you might want to google later. You can also google up any one of a number of very disparaging websites which explain in detail and pan the teachings of "I AM" and call Guy Ballard and his wife frauds. I remember reading "The I AM Activity... Exposed" many years ago, it was quite an interesting article, and even has a USD 10 000 challenge :D)
The thing is, Guy Ballard promoted the notion that it was somehow possible for a person to raise his/her body into a kind of ascended ... perhaps deathless state....
Well, Guy himself never ever attained that state, nor his wife for that matter....:P They both died like normal people.
After reading about ascension and stuff, I realised that there is NO PROOF that anyone has ever achieved option number 3 in the article that was published at this year's Love and Light Festival...
"The third option is for them to raise their consciousness to the 5th density, in which case they can continue to live on Earth but with their crystalline light body they will have the ability to travel or even migrate to other planets and dimensions."
I would personally like to be able to travel to other planets and see the universe, but I think I have more chance of doing it via Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic idea, than I have with any notion of "ascension".
And if you are thinking that the "crystaline body" is some kind of "highly evolved" form, well, let me say that scientifically speaking... only Radiolarians (a kind of amoeboid protozoa) have been found to have developed skeletons made of crystal (eg. silica or even celestite)
Sooooo what... you wanna devolve into amoeba????? Is THAT "ascension"?
Now, after reading all of this, some of you folks out there might feel that I'm a pretty nasty individual of "low/dense vibration" with lots of "negativity" and that ... like tons of new agers in my country, think that its because I practice "black magic"....
Seriously, the very term and definition "Age of Aquarius" and quite a number of new age ideas, come from the biggest and allegedly "baddest" black magician of them all.... that's right.... ol' Uncle Al' (as some of his fanboys like to call him) or better known as Aleister Crowley, the great beast 666. Oh yeah, and his teachings came through channellings of his Holy Guardian Angel, Aiwass... (who allegedly contacted him when he was touring the Great Pyramid ).
Shocked yet?
Perhaps it's time to ask more questions and read the stuff that you don't wanna. Personally, I feel that the search for TRUTH should be more important than insubstantial notions of "Love and Light".
