The practitioner continues: “One of my concerns is my loved ones not being able to make the ascension because they are atheists, and even complicit in the interloper agendas, unwittingly. With higher self recruiting, does it now mean they can come along for the ascension, too?”

We can give you encouragement here, that it is more likely now than ever before that things can be turned around for them in time to get them ready enough to benefit and take part directly themselves in the ascension. But here you are seeing clearly the dilemma all face, that so many are like your loved ones, still not awakened to deeper truth and truly lost in not valuing their divinity. But people who are unaware, and thus not believers and, of course, not devout in any kind of spiritual practice, are not necessarily bad people, doing terrible things, and in an extremely corrupt state of being. Of course, there are many who seem beyond the pale, but belief in God is not a requisite for getting back to heaven. It helps tremendously, especially if there are other difficulties needing healing help from the divine, to make a full and easy transition. With no belief in the divine, it limits what the divine can do in the outreach to help people transition successfully. So each individual case is different, but we caution you to not assume the worst, and one thing you can do is arrange for LHP sessions on a regular basis for their benefit because it will go a long ways to begin a process of inner conditioning that will help to make them a better person, and that will raise their vibration whether it is through a conscious spiritual focus or not. Any time someone is appealing to their better nature in their choices, it will raise their vibration, because love is divine, and any expression of loving kindness will raise one up just as surely as communing with Creator in prayer. In fact, the act of prayer, by a desperate suffering individual, can be done in a very low-level vibration making it very difficult for us to acknowledge and offer help because people in a state of helplessness have disconnected themselves from the divine. While we see their dilemma clearly, the rules of engagement say that humans have to be in the lead. Your loved ones do not see their dilemma and cannot make good choices to prepare themselves for a better future, but you can, so there is much you can do working on their behalf, in their stead, to get them ready for what is coming. One of our greatest pleasures is seeing how your channel is seeing to the needs of all in his work, and the focus of the LHP on the broader community of souls and not simply on the self and one's inner circle. That is the way to think about this, you have a mini version of the broad dilemma of humanity in your sights, so it falls to you to act on their behalf, because they cannot do so, at least at this point in time.
