ASCENSION DESCENSION: History & Myths of Spiritual Awakening (March 31, 2026)

What is "ascension"? Historically, it was the awakening of the true self—a profound integration of body and spirit. From the Great Pyramid of Giza to the avenues of Teotihuacán, sacred sites served as external maps of the human vessel. Through drama and ritual, seekers used these "natural earthly wombs" to transcend the illusory ego. The stages of conscious awareness mirror the natural world, aligning with the Yugas of the Puranas, just as the chakras once corresponded to the classical planets. In the West, these concepts survived through the transfiguration of Christ and the cryptic allegory of the "thief in the night." Today, however, the narrative has shifted. Influenced by Theosophy, the "I AM" Activity, and the Law of One, modern New Age "Lightworkers" describe ascension through a lens of physical symptoms: joint pain, bruising, failing eyesight, and memory loss. While framed as "DNA activation" or "shifting vibrations," these symptoms bear a striking resemblance to the natural process of aging. Join us as we trace the lineage of ascension—from ancient esoteric mastery and the channeling of George Van Tassel to the modern intersection of superficial physics and spiritual longing.
