The Phase of Purification Called Growth | Steve Beckow

A sharing circle

(Golden Age of Gaia)

A newly-awakening person might ask if what we’re promoting here is a new religion.

I don’t think so. What we’re doing, more, is chronicling two aspects of the Purification phase of the Ascension we’re involved in.

It’s true that our Ascension is what the prophets meant when they used words like “Salvation” and “Redemption.” There is religious testimony to the advent of the Aquarian Age and the Ascension that ushers it in. But Ascension itself is not a religion. It’s a tangible, historical process.

We call the phase of Ascension in which the dark Ones are removed from positions of power “Accountability.” I call the part in which the light-filled Ones shed their dense overburden of upsets and issues “Growth.” It’s characterized by a movement I call “emergence.” (1)

I consider this the time to commit ourselves to our own personal growth, to release that which we won’t be taking with us.

What does “growth” mean? Well, right now, it seems to mean dropping our encrusted patterns, strategies, acts, rackets, and so on.

***

To drop our encrusted patterns, we have to first become aware of them. So growth work first involves raising our awareness of how we “be.”

The more of our constructed self we drop, the more we reveal the natural and native purity and innocence that we are underneath it all. (2)

I experienced my own natural purity and innocence at Xenia Retreat Center on Sept. 18, 2018. Archangel Michael describes that part of my experience:

Archangel Michael: What you have done is you have journeyed to the depths of your soul, to the depths of your core. …

And you have discovered, not lack, not criticism, not error, but beauty. Underneath the dross is the full beauty, the power, the gentleness, the sweetness of who you are. …

What you have discovered … is the yearning [for] innocence, [for] the sweetness and, yes, the purity that the Mother has filled you with, with her tsunami [of love]. And inside the purity is clarity, is love and so you have reached a deeper level, a higher level, a broader level of understanding.

And it is not merely an intellectual understanding. It is heart wisdom. And, in that, it allows you to proceed in a gentler way, not in a way where you feel you have your finger in the dam or you are pushing the river the other way.

So you are in the early stages of truly, not falling in love, but truly being not only in love but Being Love. (3)

“It allows you to proceed in a gentler way.” I feel that gentleness, which is rather foreign to me I might add, whenever I contemplate our original innocence and purity.

To discover that I was pure and innocent at my core rather than impure and sinful (born in sin) was extremely freeing. I still don’t think I’ve fully realized the full significance of it.

***

We are, I believe, dropping anything that can’t go forward with us. Preparing our bodies, minds, and emotions for the tremendous jump in energies that is out there ahead of us.

Michael shows us here that the Company of Heaven are bringing us along as fast as our bodies and minds can tolerate:

Archangel Michael: What you have seen is that you have been given bite-sized pieces of energy, of energy bumps, of input of what you can digest and handle and truly bring to fruition. If you are in the process of expansion, you don’t go from Grade 3 to a PhD in a week. (4)

AAM: Every time you especially enter transformative love, that is a snap. It is not the full dramatic snap [Sahaja Samadhi or Ascension] but it is a snap. Each time, you are progressing up what you can think of as a level. (5)

So we’re literally climbing the staircase to heaven, one stair step at a time.

***

Purification means completing our old business of upsets, grievances, resentments – all the things that keep us dense and … well, here.

Gabor Maté is discussing it; (6) Thomas Hübl. (7). Kathleen has her process for getting to the bottom of upsets and issues. (8) I have mine. (9) Buddha did. His modern-day interpreters do. Not dropping our old baggage is what keeps us unenlightened.

Fundamentally our issues are upsets whose experience is incomplete. We refuse to experience the feelings we felt back then and so are stuck with them: What we resist, persists.

The antidote is: The truth will set us free. We have to discover the origin of the upset and then complete the experience of it. How did Thomas Hübl phrase it? “Unresolved past is destiny; it repeats until we have the courage to work together to face it.” (10)

Discovering its origin, facing into it, experiencing it through to completion releases it and us.

We’re aided by the rising love energies, which make identification and release of an issue easier. And what we don’t clear away will be forgiven us later.

But it’s intended that we do as much work as we can for the educational value of it. And because the debts we incurred are ours alone to discharge. No one can do the releasing for us.
