Show 1. AN INVITATION…
February 4, 2008 at 3 pm
Listen here
"Take the time to seek out the Ishayas and learn for yourself these mechanical techniques to transform life…
your life will unfold and blossom in ways you never dreamed possible.”
MSI, Ascension
The Teaching and Practice of Ascension, as taught by the Ishayas, is a means to achieve the goal of human life on this planet. It is a simple, effortless process to permanently expand the mind and permanently free the nervous system from stress. The techniques of this practice are based in praise, gratitude, love and compassion. Through the consistent use of these techniques one can begin to live life more fully and have that experience of connection with Source that some have described as “Praying without ceasing” or “The Peace that passes understanding” or “Oneness with God”.
This first week we explain who the Ishayas are, why this practice of Ascension is natural and universal and why use of these techniques helps one to make a shift in perspective that can truly transform life.
Show 2. THE SCIENCE OF ASCENSION
Feburary 11, 2008
Listen here
"The Science of Ascension is a systematic and graduated methodology for developing the mind. “Ascension” means to rise above. What happens during the practice of Ascension is that the individual rises above his/her previous state of conscious awareness and begins to experience the higher states of appreciation of Reality that lie hidden inside.” MSI, Ascension!
Thoughts are a natural part of life. The average mind thinks over 100,000 thoughts a day, thoughts that come from belief systems and old behavior patterns. The quality of our thoughts directly impacts the quality of our life and health. So often we want to change our experience of life but usually try to shift the outside instead of looking within for answers. The result is that life never quite seems to move in the direction we actually desire.
The discussion this week centers on the power of the mind/body connection and how Ascension gradually retunes the mind and body until consciousness fully remembers its Infinite status. Scientific research and even quantum physics support the process of growth that is attainable through The Art of Ascension.
Show 3. EMOTIONS AND STRESS
February 18, 2008
Listen here
"Research has confirmed that the body seeks to throw off stress as naturally as the body seeks to recover from disease through deep rest…Despite the fact that almost everyone suffers from stress, stress is no more normal to the body than cancer.” Harold Bloomfield, M.D.
A typical young child has no problem expressing his or her feelings. This openness is unacceptable to most adults, so we learn to block the majority of our feelings at a very early age. The blockage of true feelings is quite deep and strong in many adults. Since the human personality is extraordinarily flexible, that which is forced down in one area manifests in another. Feelings can never be destroyed. They can only be acknowledged, expressed, lovingly re-channeled, or repressed.
Compromising ourselves to be loved and lovable never has and never will make us more worthwhile; continued for a long enough time, this behavior pattern is certain to generate resentment and disease.
This week we discuss Ascension’s effortless approach to fine tune the mind and body. Every aspect of personal experience is related to the thoughts we entertain in relationship to the present moment. By simply touching the Absolute Source of our being, stresses that distract us from being fully present dissolve; our choices become more conscious and refined; everything about personal perceptions and the experience of life is enhanced.
Show 4. IGNORANCE
February 25, 2008
Listen here
The human mind is a fascinating tool. It is sufficiently complex to do anything, anything at all. The human brain is sufficiently subtle that it can even experience consciousness itself, the most abstract essence of everything.
However, for most people, the mind is caught by its interpretations of past experience and is not free to experience the freedom of life as it is in the present moment. It is caught by identification with the boundaries: only the crudest level of objects is perceived; the Unbounded Ascendant is missed. There is no awareness or at best a dim awareness of the Ascendant in the waking state; therefore individual life is caught by identification with desires, thoughts and possessions. This is like losing a million dollars by finding a dime.
This week, we discuss how the practice of the Art of Ascension retrains the mind. The mind only needs to learn how to take the correct angle, then the entire process is perfectly automatic to return to the state of the Omnipresent Reality of the Infinite Ascendant.
Show 5. HEALING THE WORLD THROUGH THE HEALING OF THE SELF…
March 3, 2008
Listen here
"One human’s thoughts can change a world.
To be healed the world does need one Ideal Person…
this Ideal Person is you."
MSI, Ascension!
Opening the door - The rewards of the development of consciousness are limitless -- every area of life is beneficially affected by the growth of full human awareness. There is no problem, physical, emotional, mental or spiritual that cannot be reduced and eventually resolved as an individual moves more and more toward complete consciousness.
The first step toward this goal lies in recognizing the possibility of doing it. If we don’t believe something is possible, it will remain impossible for us. Once we realize it is possible to be more, the desire to be more will naturally take hold of our minds.
During this episode, we discuss what happens as an Individual Ascends. It is not necessary to try to undo the previous beliefs and judgments; the power of this wholly beneficial inward process is sufficient to remove all previous false perceptions and understandings and replace them with the direct experience of the transcendental beauty and perfection of the Ascendant within. When the inner Reality is thus acknowledged, the outer realities automatically change.
Show 6. TRUE FREEDOM…
March 10, 2008
Listen here
"Life in freedom is the result of learning to turn from the imperious demands of our past experience."
MSI, Enlightenment!
Our interpretation of reality is everything. The principle in operation is that the world is as we perceive it. Some days we feel better than other days, some days we feel less burdened, some days we are more creative, happier, more at peace with ourselves and with our Universe.
Freedom means being able to move through the characteristics of the world without losing the stability and integrity of consciousness. Slavery means being overshadowed by every experience, forgetting joy, forgetting peace, forgetting love, forgetting everything that is of the Real, the True or Good and being left with nothing but a handful of broken dreams, a castle of sand, a phantasmal mirage of life.
This week discusses how Freedom is the natural birthright of all and it is not difficult. The practice of Ascension as taught by the Ishayas offers a tool that easily retrains the mind and body to experience True Freedom.
Show 7. YOGA: THE SCIENCE OF UNION
March 17, 2008
Listen here
“The Science of Yoga begins and ends in the present moment. Everything to be understood about the transformation of life from suffering to permanent happiness, from failure to success, from ignorance to enlightenment is to be found in the present instant of time. Life in freedom is the result of learning to turn from the imperious demands of our past experience. Nothing can be done for the past, it is over; nothing can be done for the future, for it never comes; all that can be done is to make the present Ideal. Then the future will take care of itself. Perfection of the present instant is at once the goal and the means of the Science of Union.” MSI
In this weeks show we will clarify many of the misconceptions about the teaching of yoga and enlightenment. The science of yoga is the pre-Christian root of the Ishayas Ascension. It is the science of joining together the individual lower self with the universal higher Self, the indivisible spark of God that resides within everyone. Yoga is not a belief system nor a religion nor even a philosophy -- it is an extremely practical methodology for systematically expanding the conscious mind.
Ascension is a primary tool for living in the present moment. When the mind is saturated by the perfect peace of the Ascendant individual life aligns with this perfection, and the underlying reality of the omnipresence of God is clearly experienced. This can only be found in the present moment.
Show 8. BELIEF AND PERCEPTION
March 24, 2008
Listen here
“If our old world-view is outmoded, not giving us everything we desire, if we are sick or not filled with continual joy of life, it is necessary to introduce a new way of living, a new way of perceiving, a new level of consciousness into our lives. To do this, we must allow our old, cherished beliefs to change. For it is exactly our beliefs that structure our perceptions and our world.” MSI
Each of us has our own set of internal programs. We are more like computers than we know. Each of the programs we have running has a specific function and limited range of capabilities. Some programs are beneficial to the whole operation of the machine, but some simply waste space, slow down efficiency or even cause the hard drive to crash. The more the human machine is bogged by past experience and stress the less efficiently it runs and the more quickly old age, death and disease stake their claim on our lives.
It is through our internal programs and beliefs based on our past that we all experience life. We each perceive our world and indeed create our world from this fractured view. Stress limits the nervous system and distorts our view of the world so we see what we believe to be true not the Truth.
Ascension clears the nervous system from stress so that the individual can begin to see clearly that the choices made internally shape the world. As awareness of personal choice expands so does the power to choose what kind of life is desired to be lead.
Show 9. THE ASCENDING CURRENT
March 31, 2008
Listen here
There is a force or current in creation that is constantly moving upward and expanding. The word for this energy in sanskrit is sattwa, which essentially means the aspect of natural law which is responsible for purity and creativity. This force in the Judeo Christian culture is known as the Holy Spirit. It is also sometimes called the Om.
As one chooses more and more intelligently for the upward current of evolution, impurities of thought, belief and habit naturally fall away, along with their corresponding stresses in the body and nervous system. As the body and nervous system become less and less stressed, the entire structure of the physical machinery rises to a state of perfection.
Nature pushes continually for life in accord with the upward current; when an individual reverses self-destructive tendencies and adopts the divine current of Ascending life instead, the whole structure of creation reverberates with bliss and enthusiasm. Superabundance of satisfaction and fulfillment rush through the soul; life transforms at once to full realization.
The practice of Ascension utilizes this natural force through attitudes of Praise, Gratitude, Love and Compassion. The result is that life immediately begins to move into alignment with the Highest Force for Good in the Universe. Ascension therefore is effortless, completely natural and universal.
Show 10. THE MOMENT BY MOMENT PRACTICE
April 7, 2008
Listen here
“It is our continual, moment-by-moment decision that keeps us turned away from the Infinite inner light and toward the incessant problems of relative life. We do not commonly feel that we are choosing over and over throughout the day not to be enlightened!” MSI
Each of us has a unique way of experiencing life so different situations effect us differently. Something that upsets one person could be a breeze to someone else. Still there are certain areas life which most everyone could agree cause distress; money, relationships, work, etc. So not only are there individual belief systems and grooves, but there are grooves in the collective consciousness as well.
There is gravity to the internal programs or grooves of the individual. In order to escape the pull of gravity it is necessary achieve a certain rate of acceleration. If you watch a space shuttle take off you will see so much fire and fury but no motion, then gradually the ship begins to leave the ground, and climbs higher and faster into the atmosphere. It is the same with our own growth. If we wish to be free from the stress and groves of past experience we need three things: desire, commitment and a tool.
The practice of the Ishayas’ Ascension is designed to be used in everyday life. It is designed to be used in every moment of everyday. Our Self realization is not to be found far off in space or time. It is here and now. To uncover this Truth we need a consistent tool to turn the mind away from its habitual hamster wheel approach to life. We need a tool to take with us as we dive head first into life.
Show 11. CHOICE
April 14, 2008
Listen here
Life is happening all the time. We are always in the present moment, but our minds’ attention wanders into thoughts about the past and future. The mind easily gets into the habit of living in anticipation of future events: “What am I going to make for dinner . . . .I have to get to work I am running late . . . 20 minutes left, and I can go home . . . ÍI can’t wait for this weekend.”
Because of this habitual movement of the mind, we miss the glory, beauty and peace that is ever present now. We do not recognize that in every moment of every day we are making choices. With each choice we make, we create something. This is nothing to fear for it is already happening all the time. However, we have a choice to be a victim to our circumstances and other people, blaming others for what happens to us, or we can become a conscious creator.
The Ascension Attitudes, the techniques of Ascension, are designed to facilitate this process. In each and every moment we have a choice. We may not have known this until now, but now that we know we can begin to create anew.
Ascension brings us in touch with the present moment, and what is happening in life now, inside and out. From this perspective we can much more easily and gracefully set the sail of our life. The universe is always providing the wind.
Show 12. LIVING TRUTH
April 21, 2008
Listen here
“The greatest gift you can give those you love is the example of your own life working.”
Mankind has sought knowledge of truth for millennium. Once found we ardently fight to protect, defend and uphold it. Real or Absolute Truth needs no defending for it can never be destroyed. It is eternal. Relative truth is ever changing, finite and weak. For example not too long ago it was considered Truth that the world was flat, but experience radically altered our perception of the world.
There is one underlying field from which and in which all creation exists. Just beyond the veil of our sensory perception is the eternal, still, omnipresent, omnipotent Source. As human beings we have the amazing ability not only to know that, but to experience that.
Countless belief systems and religions have been created as a result of one peek into this field of Truth. But eventually all crumble as they become institutions based solely on knowledge. The only benefit of knowing Truth is that it inspires the individual to seek its experience. It opens the doorway to realize there is another way to live.
With the tools of the Ishayas’ Ascension, Truth can not only be known, but experienced and lived in daily life. The power of the Ascendant Source is unlimited. One taste of that for the individual is irrevocably life changing. To be lived in daily life is the goal and purpose of human existence on this planet.
Show 13. THE ART OF ASCENSION
April 28, 2008
Listen here
As our final show in this 13 week series we offer an overview of the ancient art of the Ishayas’ Ascension. As with any art, mastery requires dedication and practice. The Art of Ascension uses a series of twenty-seven very simple to use, mechanical techniques called Ascension Attitudes to return the mind to its natural innocent state of expansion and peace.
The effect of regular practice with these attitudes is immediately noticeable and accumulative. Each of the Ascension Attitudes has the extraordinary and unique characteristic of allowing the mind automatically to continue Ascending to ever higher levels of experience and understanding.
Each Ascension Attitude has three aspects. First, there is an emotional content to drive the experiencer inward -- Appreciation, Gratitude, Love and Direct Cognition. The second aspect is a direct alignment with the Ascendant or Source. This unites the conscious mind with the Infinite Source within. The third characteristic is a mental focus on one of the root areas of the individuality that is stressed and could be more fully lived.
The three-fold structure of the Ascension Attitudes causes each of the three primary aspects of our personality -- our hearts, our minds, our bodies -- to move in the direction of growth. This process unwinds or loosens the deeply held judgments and beliefs that keep us bound to fear and restriction. But this is not simply a process of introspection to remove accumulated mental, spiritual and emotional debris; this process is primarily one of effortlessly uncovering ever more expanded states of awareness to be lived in daily life.
Understanding this description of the Ascension Attitudes is much more difficult than the practice of Ascending. Our natural state is expanded awareness, returning to this naturalness is universal and simple, but completely based upon individual choice.
