Clearly, ascension is more, much more, than just climbing the stairs or riding the elevator from one floor to another in a cookie-cutter office building. It sounds more like a transformation, a radical change of state more akin to a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly. What is Creator’s perspective?

That is indeed a perfect metaphor to describe the contrast between who you are, as a physical human, and who you will become, as an advanced light being among the loftiest of light beings. Unlike the caterpillar inching along, having to survive through consuming other life forms, fragile to the vagaries of weather and predators who might eat you, you will become like the butterfly, able to soar, fly about, unrestricted in your ability to move in any direction, go anywhere, high or low, you choose. You will continue, as a soul‑based being, to be immortal, but that will have greater meaning than ever before because, as an individual, you will have greater reach, greater power, you will be able to create things out of raw energy, solely through your mind, your thoughts alone. You will have the ability to create any environment you can conceive of, including things never before in existence. You will naturally desire and configure a new loving nest to inhabit and share with others of like mind and stature, especially loved ones in a communal arrangement, reflecting the unity of souls that you are a part of. That does not mean something akin to living in a high-rise building. You can be as isolated, physically, as you choose because you will be able to move instantly anywhere you wish to go. So you can have time with others and time alone as you choose, you will not need a vehicle, your thoughts alone will take you places, you will see wonders and experience modes of being, and a range of feelings and experiences far beyond the reach of your imagination currently. This is the deeper meaning of what we have told you in having the ability to explore, in a fullest possible way, anything and everything about the energy of which you are a part and upon which you can be an influence. As a part of us, you will share our creative powers and our intention is for you to exhibit and utilize those to the fullest extent possible. That is how the universe will expand in the possibilities of our presence here within it. You are the bridge in between us and everything else. This puts you in a godlike mode personally. That is only fitting given you are a part of us to begin with and we want to share our capabilities with you. This is a partnership because we want in return the fullest measure of your being, exhibited through your works and, in sharing that with you, will learn and grow by all you do and discover. What that means is you will no longer be students in a kindergarten trying to feel your way along without bumping into things and being injured too greatly, always being a learner, always being subordinate to someone with greater power telling you what to do, where to go, how to be. All these things you will decide for yourselves. You will basically create your world anew according to how you wish it to be. It is like the biggest of possible dreams, but the difference will be it will be in reality and not a dream, and you will have the actual powers needed to do anything you wish without limit, except for the limits of divine alignment as a potential reckoning via the Law of Karma. To be sure, there will be a need for adjustment but you have had much, much practice as light beings already, you have simply not experienced life as a light being without being on a short leash provided by the Law of Karma. So your graduation from the earth plane will be far vaster than returning to life as a light being because you will transcend that as well, to be in an even higher mode and range of influence and capability than you have ever experienced heretofore.
