The process of awakening or the process of ascension is not simply a concept or an experience for those who choose some sort of spiritual practice in order to connect to divinity and transcend limitations, although it helps. Ascension is an evolutionary and natural, organic process that is destined for all beings in one form or another. When we are part of life, we are part of this process. Through self realization we may become more aware of how the awakening is affecting us, how we can work with the energies of ascension, and how to reclaim forgotten wisdom which can make the evolution of the self to feel more natural, perhaps even gentler or more smooth.
