We shall look first at the Bible which is a common reference point for Spiritual Wisdom in western culture. We find that Enoch, great-grandfather of Noah who built the ark, was taken into Heaven. The Bible says that God “took him” in Genesis 5, and that he “walked with God.” Hebrews 11:5 says he “did not see death.” This is an example of the Ascension process.
Elijah in 2 Kings 11, “…Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.”
Jesus: in Luke 24:50-51 we read;
50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
Clearly the Ascension is a rising process. I mean this both physically as in a direction opposite to the force of gravity, and also vibrationally, into a much faster frequency range which is beyond the physical spectrum in which our 5 senses operate.
For the serious student of, “The Mysteries”, it is essential to investigate other cultures, traditions, spiritual systems, philosophies etc. I have been doing this for more than 40 years. We find that Buddha (Gautama) also Ascended. Was this any different from Krishna? Same for Zoroaster. Same for a few others whose names are not familiar to most people. What about the record of witness to Mothers Mary’s Assumption into Heaven?
Clearly, evidence exists which talks about Ascension as a process of rising into another location and also another condition of being. Truly the Ascension process makes one a permanent member of a higher frequency range which is often called Heaven.
