Do we have to CHOOSE to participate in the Ascension of humanity? Does each individual have to acquire their own “ticket to ride”?

Each individual will choose their participation or decline. This will be their responsibility. This is why making everyone aware of this eventuality is so very important, because if you do not know what is coming, you cannot begin to think about this and perhaps will neglect yourself unduly and will suffer the consequences. This is why it is time for all to recognize they are interconnected and forget the petty differences, the cultural, the gender, the national origins, and other trappings, as having no real meaning when all humanity is at a crossroads. There is no reason to reject anyone. You are all the same and you all have the same souls in origin and in potential. You belong together and you deserve to have one another. None deserves to be excluded, but yet you have the power to choose your own isolation. This can, in fact, come about through default if you remain in ignorance and do not know of the opportunity before you. In good conscience, all humans who hear these words can help their brethren to have the opportunity that is their birthright and will have a karmic benefit in spreading the information and will also have a karmic obligation in withholding it.
