| The Journey Toward Activation |
| by CJ Martes |
| We are all on a, journey, a journey of spirit where we come here to live on this earth to process and learn the lessons that are necessary for us to ascend or move from on from this physical realm called Earth. As you make this journey, it is the goal of your higher self is to gather and integrate these lessons so that you will continue to grow and evolve spiritually. This evolution continues through our many lifetimes. If you think about it, this is the greatest way for the higher self to learn because unlike an infinite existence, our existence here has limits, choices, and emotions. These items aren’t foreign to our souls, just not readily experience first hand without a physical set of clothes. During this journey, the goal of your soul on earth is to continue learning and experiencing until you enter the lifetime of your evolution where in many ways we are capable of moving past the physical while still being here on this planet. When I was presented with the opportunity to write on any subject of my choice, I had to sit for a moment and ponder all the possibilities. I had a number of topics come to mind that I could speak about. After all I’ve been explaining metaphysical and holistic concepts to different people for nearly ten years. Never reading books just knowing about a number of mystical things had been a way of life for me since childhood. I didn’t want to talk about things I’ve known all my life, since many people now are awakening to concepts of their own spirituality, past lives and working with the energy of their physical and spiritual bodies. I eventually opened up my channel to listen for the answer. It finally came to me while driving home one day. The message became clear to me that I should discuss the Process of Activation. To many I’m sure that this term sounds a little space age and bizarre but after I talk to you about this process I believe it will sound a little less out there and more a normal process in your evolution as 3rd dimensional human beings. I believe I was told to share about this process now because as we all start to awaken to new energies and the vibrational rates change on earth, the more activation is occurring. You can see evidence of it all around. People changing occupations midstream to follow a path more in line with their higher selves. Never before has there been a time on Earth like now and as we evolve spiritually and open up to our higher energies, this will occur more and more as people become more in tune. I have been given a set of stages or phases by my guidance to share with you. These stages help outline the process we go through until we each evolve to the point in a particular life where we are ready for our own activation: Stage One: The New Beginning Phase Stage Two: The Experiential Phase Stage Three: The Clearing Phase Stage Four: The Open Awareness Phase Stage Five: The Dormancy Phase Stage Six: The Activation Phase I truly did not understand this process was occurring until just recently. In fact I had no idea that it existed until I came to the final stages of the process myself. Once I experienced one of my soon to be many activation periods, my guidance told me that it was time that someone begin to teach others about this process. Every person is unique within this process however these stages give us an outline that everyone goes through to complete their evolution. There are no set ages for these stages and one person could get to the final stages rather quickly or another could get to the third stage and never go any further. Each individual’s mission dictates how far they choose to go and when we reach the end stages of dormancy and activation we literally recreate ourselves for the remainder of our lifetime here moving back and forth through periods of growth and activation as we manifest more of our higher selves in this 3rd dimensional reality. I will spend a majority of my time discussing the last two stages of this process. The first four stages are fairly self explanatory but I will review those briefly also. The New Beginning Phase This is merely the stage where we are born into a new life and grow. This period generally occurs with infancy and childhood though stages one and two can be occurring at the same time. During this time we generally learn about spirit from others…parents, relatives etc. depending on the level of awareness that we choose to have coming into the particular lifetime. The Experiential Phase This stage includes the different processes we go through to develop who we are as we begin to really experience our new environment. We also learn different choices we have to make regarding our inner and outer worlds. We begin to form more definite opinions about our beliefs, either rejecting those of our parents or embracing them. If our spiritual awareness is high we may be making distinctions between what we know to be true and what we view spiritually around us. This is generally the phase we experience in adolescence though it depends on the individual person. The Clearing Phase This is a crucial phase that occurs before make an awareness shift. This is when we feel the need to clean house so to speak. We review our life somewhat and we begin to feel what would make our lives better. We either want more or become more content and renewed with what we have by clearing issues with our past. We often seek help during this period to help "get over" or learn to deal with past traumatic experiences or resolve personal issues surrounding relationships and family. This is the stage that many people get to over and over again without moving through it. Many people get stuck in this process and never move forward. This isn’t to say this is wrong at all. In fact for much of our evolution this was the final stage possible for most of us. Many people chose difficult paths that they need a majority of their lives to process through in order to integrate the lessons they need in order to evolve further in the next life and beyond. The Open Awareness Phase This is the phase where we begin to look beyond our physical existence and wonder about higher spiritual concepts. We begin to see a broader world beyond day to day physical life. It is an exciting time where we begin to explore new ideas and uncover personal spiritual truths. We begin the search spiritually instead of physically for our place in the world around us. We look for spiritual evolvement often past what we were taught by our family or society. There is a renewed joy in this phase as we break free from previous constraints to experience a new freedom. We give ourselves permission to question and discover things for ourselves in our own personally unique way. The Dormancy Phase This is the phase that begins when we have unlocked our awareness sufficiently that we give our higher selves permission to release deep vibrational energies that are laying dormant within the memory of our spiritual bodies. This is the period where we prepare for our rebirth. This phase of clearing goes deeper than changing dynamics in relationships and forgiving past wrongs. This is a crucial phase where we begin to integrate not only this life’s lessons, but past life lessons as well. The stage is so named because during this phase we begin to awaken to vibrational energies that have laid dormant our whole lives and through many different lifetimes. These energies begin to work their way to the surface. I suppose it would be best to view this phase as your deepest soul cleansing period. During this cleansing process, we can experience depression or more emotional states. Often counter to the way we have normally behaved or felt during our awareness phase. This dormant vibrational energy works its way clear at the soul level and then leaves your spiritual body. As this energy leaves, the lesson or value of the experience you are clearing is integrated into your new integrated self. The knowledge isn’t lost but the severely emotional tie to it is released and passes from you, while the information is integrated. This is the stage where we get to clear a lot of karma--old karma, new karma, recent and past tragedy. The more joyful side of this stage is the fact that we begin to put the pieces together that can set us free spiritually. We been to realize much of where we’ve been and what may lie ahead. Some activation occurs as we progress through this stage as far as the realization that something big is about to happen. Our awareness begins to shift again as we begin to feel the lighter vibration of our higher selves in a new way. The Activation Phase This is the phase where we become much more aware of our many lives and gain a more full understanding of what we contracted to learn in this lifetime. As we activate we begin to uncover what our purpose is now. By reaching this phase we become able to fully activate our higher selves, to unlock and claim our power as healers and to emerge more consciously as co-creators in our world. We realize our responsibility more fully to ourselves and others as we emerge as our spiritual selves on this planet. Activation experiences continue once they begin as we literally recreate ourselves. The amount of activation that occurs with any given person is directly related to their soul contract or mission here. For instance, a soul that contracted before this life to be an active channel or healer would have a different activation experience than a person who chose to come as a novelist or a doctor. All paths are equally valid and appropriate to each person however the intensity of this activation is proportional to the path the person is on. But whatever the path the spiritual becomes more integrated with what we are doing in the physical. We learn during this stage to fully utilize our many lifetimes of experience and open our channels to receive our guidance. The Earth is in the process of enormous change and enlightenment as a planet. Each activation that occurs, further raises our vibrational rate and as more people activate all the time the more others will be prompted to do the same. It is through our collective unconscious that we do this. Others vibrational rates are more likely to chose to match our higher rate of vibration once they connect to it, than remain at the lower vibration. It is through this mass activation that the we are at last capable of leaping forward past the physical to embrace a multidimensional existence here on this planet. Conclusion I would like finally to share my experience with each of you and the things I learned through this process that are important to share. My experiences during the dormancy phase were intense, filled with highs and lows. I experienced deep emotional sadness as I began to clear the deep negative energy of my past, both in this lifetime and many others. At the time I was doing all this clearing it was confusing for me because the thoughts, ideas and feelings that I experienced we not in direct relation to what I was going on in my life at all. So I had a difficult time understanding what I was trying to work through. I struggled back and forth with how to heal myself. Though I honestly did not know what I was trying to heal at the time. I only knew at that time I was in pain at times and literally withdrawn from others. I eventually learned through complete unconditional acceptance of myself that even though I did not know exactly what was happening to me that I was worth loving and taking care of no matter what happened. I released all judgments of myself and embraced my clearing. I reached out for healing from others and took very special care of myself. At many times I was desperate, however I felt certain that I would emerge on the other side happy and joyful. It was through my acceptance and love that I quickly integrated and cleared what I needed to activate my higher self. While I burdened myself with worry, fear and self-judgments, I literally was preventing myself from clearing those vibrations that were necessary to release me from my many different past lives. Since my sudden activation, more activating of my higher energies occur as slowly learn to work with my new energies. So when you reach the period of your activation it continues from there for the rest of your life. You can literally swing back and forth between dormancy and activation as you grow and recreate yourself as spiritual entity. The growth never ends. The joy you experience as you break free from the past is astounding and truthfully at times frightening but always rewarding. I have watched myself and others literally transform their lives and the lives of others as they activate and reactivate over and over again. The manifestation of my path has taken me in entirely new directions and to wonderful places as I let go and follow my guidance and walk my path. |
