A New Way of Living
Scientists have some astounding statistics of how little we use of the human nervous system. The research into DNA has shown that we are using only 5-10% of the potential. The rest of it is not lit up and therefore not in use, for no apparent reason. Our brain exhibits the same remarkable inefficiency. The power residing in our mind is similarly wasted. The proof that we are not living the full potential of human life is abundant and yet we take this condition to be the norm and rarely challenge the accepted paradigm.
What would happen, if we did have the 100% available to us? I doubt even the greatest imaginative powers could begin to paint the picture. It would be an entirely new life for humanity. It would be a birth into True Humanity.
The truth is that we are using the machinery that we call the human nervous system in a way that is far from the way it was originally designed to be used. Perhaps we did not read the manual to begin with and decided to just go with it and figure it out as we went. The results of that approach are easily seen both objectively and subjectively in our individual lives.
The true power present within us becomes available only when we show that we are waking up to our true essence, the Ascendant, and choose to align with that. In the higher states of consciousness and as the purity of the Ascendant settles into our nervous system our DNA starts to light up and the entire system wakes up to a higher level of functioning.
Ishayas are not offering an improved way to live human life, but a New Way of living human life. What is that exactly? Is it different from the multitude of other things that are being offered?
The fundamental difference and power of Ascension is its practical nature and the fact that it can be applied anywhere and at any time. So, instead of entertaining ideals of a different way to live, we can actually put that into practice in each moment by using the Ascension Attitudes eyes open and live it. We can tap into the fullness of the Ascendant and draw that into our everyday life in a simple and effortless manner. Anything can become holy and every relationship can be expanded into truth with this simple choice to think the Ascension Attitudes. Our life can literally become a continual meditation or prayer or expansion in the ascending current of life. Our life can be an unfolding of greater love and greater wisdom moment by moment.

No hardness in life
‘Work hard’ is a wrong principle. Only, one should draw the mind inward, pull the arrow and release. This is the way to fulfill our desires. The desiring mind should be pulled back, should be brought to a state of silence, and there, in that Transcendental Consciousness—there will be no mistake in pushing forward the desire—it will get fulfilled. It is a great science of life which does not require hard work. Enjoy and fulfill your desires—that is the theme of a really educated man. This is the difference between an educated man and an uneducated man. An educated man knows how to do things so that he doesn’t get tired, and an uneducated man—he will get tired everywhere.

Growth of happiness
Consider what the requirements for growth of happiness and health are. If our old world-view is outmoded, not giving us everything we desire, if we are sick or not filled with continual joy of life, it is necessary to introduce a new way of living, a new way of perceiving, a new level of consciousness into our lives. To do this, we must allow our old, cherished beliefs to change. For it is exactly our beliefs that structure our perceptions and our world. It is not probable that peaches will grow on apple trees. If we have grown discontent with apples and desire peaches, we must plant a different kind of tree. If there are areas of our life in which we are discontented, in which we are not living in complete fulfillment, perfect peace, unbounded joy, and if we wish to change these areas, it is necessary to adopt a different way of looking at our lives and our world.

Life on an upward Spiral
Is your life changing with Ascension? Are you getting more of what you want from life?
Ishayas’ Ascension brings with it a new clarity. However, it does require making choices and viewing choices from a larger context.
I am reminded of the woman who learned to ascend that had a few desires: 1) a desire for men to be attracted to her; 2) to have a new, fulfilling relationship with the man of her dreams. After learning to ascend, she told me that lots of men were asking her out. She was frustrated because she thought she needed to say “Yes” to all of them, even though she knew there was no future relationship with most of them.
Think the Ascension Attitude as easily as you would think any other thought. Introduce the Ascension Attitude in your mind and let go. Let your experience be whatever it happens to be.
The Ascension Attitude is a like a magical arrow. Every time you pull it back and shoot, it hits the target in the center, in the Ascendant. No other kind of thinking has this quality. This is also why there is no effort required in using the Attitudes. They will always go to the Ascendant.
And the more we get in the habit of using the Ascension Attitudes the quicker we will become familiar with the state of pure consciousness, the Ascendant, the source and the goal of human life.

The universe is always giving us our desires. The difficulty is that often we have so many desires, and often self-contradictory, that we are not always aware we are always getting what we want. You may see that she needed to make choices – which one was the man of her dreams. You may also see that she got to choose which of her desires was more important, the first or the second.
Often, underlying desires conflict with the more tangible forms of our desires. We may want a “joyful, loving relationship” at the surface. We may not be so aware of the need to be needed, the need to be proven right, the need to control, the love of drama (addictions to emotional swinging) that are actually quite powerful in mass consciousness today. Often, these desires influence us greatly.
The great thing about Ishayas’ Ascension is we don’t have to look for these “hidden” desires. We do need to make choices about what we want and start moving toward those. As we begin our new life with praise, gratitude, and love, anything that is in conflict will automatically come up as part of our choices, like

the above new ascender. We just move toward our desire, whether it’s a new relationship, a new car, or enlightenment. The principles remain the same. Ascension works, if we keep using the Ascension Attitudes as we make our choices.
Have you heard the definition of “stupidity”? It’s doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Often, we participate in life from habit even though our actions do not bring expansion to ourselves or to others, or bring about the desires of our heart.
When I began ascending, I soon became aware that I needed to say “no” to things that were not serving. I needed to be more honest with myself and others. The habit of saying “yes” made other people happy or sometimes just “kept the boat from rocking” in a relationship. Sadly, I learned I often said “yes” only because it made me FEEL better. I liked making other people happy, but I began to realize this was at a cost to both them and me.
The most important choice I made was to implement my practice. I set the alarm early to get in my time of practice. On my busiest or most “important” days, I set the alarm earlier for additional practice. Along with my practice of Ascension, my moment by moment choices were then, and are today, the most powerful factors in my life to expand my life in the direction that I want to go.
We are each allotted a certain number of days, a certain amount of time. It is important how we spend it. How much of the day and our energy is devoted to the priorities of our life….the big ones, like Truth, Unconditional Love, Joy, Peace? To that end, MSI left us all the greatest question: “Where in my life am I compromising?”

Ascending Limitations
As soon as I’d learned Ascension, my life was transformed very quickly, but the beauty of Ascension for me is that as I ascend more, I become more easily to be aware of my old habitual thinking/behaviors and attachments. I’m so glad that now I can think of the Ascension Attitudes and then choose to act differently. More importantly, whenever I am aware of my past experiences, I can consciously choose to live in Praise, Gratitude, Love and Compassion. Actually, I’ve experienced that I still felt spontaneously Love/Compassion for those who blamed me very severely or accused me of something that is absurd.
Besides being more easily aware of my attachments, I have become more easily to let them go. When I was going to my Teacher Training, I just felt I was going to another lifetime. Nevertheless, I still had attachments, which include my relationship with my superior of my last company in my ‘previous lifetime’. He got stroke and in the process of recovery so amazingly to me without hesitation he accepted my invitation to learn Ascension. He received the Ascension Attitudes in last August, but later not practice it as much as in the first six weeks. But recently, I just thought I already gave him the greatest gift and understand everybody has his or her own creation and then I just felt released.
I’m so glad that now I’m able to hurdle my fence to experience a new life.
