Introduction
The program opens with an introduction by Alan Steinfeld, who expresses gratitude to Neil Gar and Tangela Islam for hosting the event. Alan introduces the day’s theme—Ascension—and welcomes his guests, Drs. J.J. Hurtak and Desiree Hurtak, as experts on the topic.
Definition of Ascension
Alan asks J.J. Hurtak to define Ascension. J.J. explains that historically, Ascension refers to the ability to transcend physical dimensions and enter higher realms of consciousness. These experiences can be brought back to Earth to share knowledge. Desiree Hurtak adds that Ascension involves multiple levels and isn’t limited to a single destination, contrary to popular belief.
J.J. Hurtak’s Experience in 1973
Desiree emphasizes J.J.’s experience in 1973, where he witnessed multiple levels of Ascension. She highlights the idea that humans are multi-dimensional beings, capable of opening various portals of the mind and consciousness.
Ascension and Descension
J.J. and Desiree discuss the concepts of Ascension and descension, drawing parallels to biblical references like Jacob’s Ladder, which suggests both upward and downward movements in spiritual journeys. J.J. mentions being examined by scientists due to a residual light surrounding his body after a post-Ascension experience.
The Role of Consciousness
Both J.J. and Desiree Hurtak emphasize that consciousness plays a crucial role in the Ascension process. They discuss how certain linguistic and sound patterns, such as Hebrew Aramaic mantras, can help in transcending physical limitations and achieving higher states of being.
Historical and Global Perspectives on Ascension
Alan Steinfeld and the Hurtaks discuss how cultures around the world, including Tibetan and Toltec traditions, have recognized different forms of Ascension. They also bring up the concept of the “rainbow body” and other practices where individuals have transformed into light.
Collective Ascension
Alan introduces the concept of collective Ascension, where humanity as a whole raises its frequency. Desiree shares the perspective of biophysicists, including Russian scientist Peter Garayev, who suggests that human DNA originates from a light-wave frequency. This idea forms the basis for potential collective transformations.
Higher States of Consciousness
The discussion shifts to the scientific study of consciousness. J.J. refers to over 40 years of research by institutions like Stanford Research Institute, showing evidence of higher states of consciousness. The Hurtaks explain that biophotonic activity—light emitted by cells—may be activated during higher consciousness states.
Near-Death Experiences
The conversation touches on near-death experiences, including the story of neurosurgeon Eben Alexander, who explored different dimensions of reality while in a coma. His experiences revealed various levels of consciousness and realms that humans can access beyond the physical.
Ascension in Religious Context
Alan and the Hurtaks discuss how religious artifacts, like the Shroud of Turin, potentially capture moments of Ascension. The image on the Shroud is seen as evidence of a body transforming into light. The conversation then explores how this phenomenon could represent the potential that all humans have for Ascension.
The Over-Self Awakening
The Hurtaks introduce the concept of the “over-self,” a higher aspect of the self that continues to evolve and guide individuals through their lives. After death, the soul returns to this over-self, which is in constant evolution, shaping future experiences.
Conclusion
The discussion wraps up by emphasizing that Ascension is not only about personal spiritual evolution but also about service to humanity. The Hurtaks invite people to join them in gatherings, such as an upcoming event in San Diego, where collective energy can enhance the Ascension process.
