i have been following this material for about a year now. about everything i have discovered on my own has led me to understand we are all special. no one is above or beneath anyone. the idea of only some people will "graduate" or whatever you want to call it does not sit well, or feel right to me. it does not in anyway sound fair, to every human on this planet, and the souls also in waiting that are not incarnated here at this time. some people say you have to meditate, etc so on and so forth. the remainder of people who don't "cut it" are basically stuck here to weather whatever disaster(s) befall the planet. sounds alot like christianity to me. this makes the idea of ascension a great golden thing for a small percentage of the population. everyone else, well, we get to start over with no memory of the life and lives we've lived on this sphere, after of course, we die. this universal standard cannot be accurate. the amount of suffering people have and will continue to endure deserves more than this. its no secret that humans have been supressed and held in the dark since as long as we can remember. everyone and everything deserves this. from starving children with no parents to murderers and even up to the fat cat oil tycoons. not just the people mediating to forest music at their beach houses and going to ufo panels. everyone and everything is equal and special. ~chris~
