"When Cosmic Consciousness comes into the realm of matter—into each of the atoms that make up the planets and island universes, and the different forms of plant, animal, and human life…that Consciousness is called Christ Consciousness." ― Paramahansa Yogananda THE ASCENT The Beloved Jesus gave the public an example of the Ascension and sought to teach humanity its meaning, pointing out to all that the same Achievement "I AM" is not far away, to enter into this Great Freedom. All Ascensions must take place consciously, because this Master Ascended Achievement is the Complete Victory over all external experiences through the personal self. The so-called death is nothing but an opportunity to rest and re- harmonize the faculties of personal consciousness. This is to free them from the unrest and discord of the Earth for enough time to receive an influence of Light and Force, which will empower the mind to return to work in another physical experience. Physical incarnation is to prepare, perfect, and illuminate a body whose vibratory action can be elevated to unite with the Body of the Powerful Presence I AM. We call it "The Magical Presence." The Beloved Jesus referred to this as the Seamless Dress. When a person, striving to achieve such Freedom, has reached the point where they can "liberate" any amount of Light they wish from their Electronic Body, instantly, by their only conscious command, they can control any manifestation, no matter what sphere they choose to express. One must observe the world in its vastness to see how discordant thoughts and feelings affect the beautiful body that nature provides us for our experience in physical life. In childhood and youth, the structure of the flesh in the physical body is beautiful, strong, and responds to the demands made to it; but when we allow discordant thoughts and feelings to express themselves in our personal self as the years go by, the body deteriorates and the Temple falls into ruins, because our external consciousness does not obey the Law of Life, which is Love, Harmony, and Peace! In this Body, which is made of pure electronic substance, the individual has complete freedom from all limitations and through intense devotion to the Powerful "I AM" Presence, any person can release their Power to the point where they can see this Body of Substance, so dazzling, that at first they can only contemplate it for a moment due to the intensity of its Light. Through such devotion, one begins to manifest more and more of their own Conscious Individual Domain over all manifestation. This is the Eternal Right of Birth of each being, and the purpose for which the work of human experience has been decreed.
