The Bible in Philippians 3:20-21 promises: “But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.” This passage does suggest ascension of our bodies so that they will be like his ascended body. Why is ascension to the “New Earth” either required or at least favored? What’s the point? How does a spirit “incarnate” onto the ascended Earth if they miss the Ascension Event? Is the whole point of the ascension akin to colonization of a remote planet? And will future generations be the product of actual pregnancies and births rather than ascensions? What is Creator’s perspective?

The ascension, the true ascension witnessed by humans with Jesus Christ and Muhammad and other prophets leading the way, is a deliberate departure from the usual passage from death followed by a return to heaven in spirit form. That difference is significant because it heralds a departure that will be permanent. You will not be returning to the physical ever again in physical form, so it is fitting that you leave nothing behind, in a sense, and that everything about you and your essence will transform in a new way, a true transfiguration. So not only will you be leaving society, you will be leaving the physical Earth, as you know it, and everything you are connected to physically through the genetic lineage you may have been a part of if you have descendants, but also the karmic energies pertaining to physical existence from the presence of the human family, as physical beings, for an extended period of time now. That newness, as a radical display of change, is a part of the plan specifically for that reason, to be a dramatic, open, and visible process to inspire others and encourage them, through a raising of vibration, to hold similar expectations, inner desire, and a passion to excel in the same fashion to make ready for ascension oneself and follow others, literally, into the sky and then into the heavenly realm. Moreover, leaving in physical form makes the point quite graphically that your life is not ending, you are on a journey in a new way that is a continuation of your life, and that is quite fitting given that it will mark your passage from the raw beginnings in learning to navigate being an independent extension of Creator's consciousness and carrying out the most difficult of challenges while staying in divine alignment, or returning to it in a form greater than before afforded through the hard-won learning of many tough life lessons in confronting evil, and working through the consequences to find a way to counter the negativity through an effective deployment of divine love coming through you as the vehicle. The ascension will transcend such human-level notions of simply taking a trip to a distant location where life will go on much as before. In actuality, this is moving beyond the current reality into a new dimension of tremendous capacity, intricacy, and potential you will work to make the most of, learning as you go but with many, many greater rewards than ever could have happened to you while in the physical. It will involve many, many experiences and capabilities beyond human imagining. Your lives will have many stark differences to what you are used to as a physical human. You will not need the birth process because you will not die and need to be reborn again. You will be an immortal light being in an exalted form like never before. As such, you will persist, you will create many new things, and your knowledge will not come and go, starting from scratch through a series of incarnations, but expand forever and will never be lost to you. Your time living as an animal will be over. Animals are ephemeral with a finite lifespan because they have a different purpose in providing a temporary resource for other living things. You will be in a place that is unlimited, an unbounded infinity of future expansion open to not only exploration but optimization and enhancement through your dreams and passions, a vast new playground of options and possibilities like nothing you have ever imagined. As a physical human living an animal existence, you have participated in propagation of new life, as you needed the phenomena of procreation biologically to keep things going, and it has served you well as a learning opportunity with many teachings about love and loss, burden and responsibility, and the rewards of persistence, dedication, loyalty, nurturing of others, and sharing of love, all of which has served you greatly because it has reduced you to the bare essentials with an opportunity to learn like never before what is truly most important but taken for granted as a light being—the true meaning of the love Creator has and shares with you.
