The spiritual journey of ascension is often clouded by fear – fear of changing beyond recognition, losing our sense of self, or becoming detached from reality. In this deeply personal season finale, I shine light on what the ascension process truly means and why these fears only prevent us from discovering our authentic selves.

At its heart, ascension is about reconnecting with our divine self – that part of us existing beyond time and space, free from religious or political constraints. When trapped in 3D human consciousness (dominated by ego, anger, and fear), we cannot hear the wisdom of this higher self. The journey involves shifting to 4D consciousness through grounding and centering, before ultimately experiencing the unconditional love and oneness of 5D consciousness.

I walk through seven approaches to ascension, including self-realization (discovering who we truly are), purification (shedding limiting beliefs and patterns), and perspective shifts that develop empathy and interconnectedness. These transformations aren't merely surface changes but represent fundamental rewiring of neural pathways, requiring consistent practice over 28-30 days to form new habits of thinking and being.

Most powerfully, I share my personal experience with psychedelics as a tool for spiritual growth – how a carefully guided experience with psilocybin mushrooms helped me break through unconscious fears around marriage rooted in generational trauma. This profound healing inspired my decision to become a psilocybin facilitator to help others access similar breakthroughs.

Speaker 1:

Hello everyone, this is your host, keri Logan, at Master, the Upper Rooms of Human Consciousness. This will be my last podcast for Season 1 and therefore I want to shine a light and insight into the Ascension process, because everyone has different views and opinions. The truth is, not everyone will be called at this time to experience the ascension process, because some are not willing to evolve consciously, and that is okay. Some people fear that they will change to a point where they no longer recognize themselves, or others think one would become a flower picking hippie running barefoot through a meadow without a care in the world. So many mixed ideas, beliefs and concepts only generate more fearful thoughts. This fear will stop anyone in their tracks from truly discovering who and what they are. So today I want to dispel these fearful thoughts and roadblocks to finding true happiness, bliss and joy. If you google what is the ascension process, you will find information referring to various spiritual traditions. Some refer to the ascension process as a journey of self-realization, purification or being reborn and developing with practice, an alignment with your higher self. Practice, an alignment with your higher self, a higher spiritual principle, energy or vibration. Over the years, people have used meditation, prayer, breathing techniques, yoga and even service to others. Yet learning to master the upper rooms of human consciousness is exactly what everyone does to achieve the ascension process. So today I want to unpack the ascension process journey.

Speaker 1:

Everyone has a divine self that operates beyond time and space. Your divine self knows itself as innocent and does not hold obligations. It has no religion, politics or indoctrination. It is cut from the same cloth as our creator or, as some might say, I am of God. Some people call this your soul or spirit. A doctor experimented and when a person dies, their body weighs 20 grams less. It has not been proven by science, but I believe that it is the weight of your soul, leaving the body Only 21 grams. Therefore, we have a divine self, slash soul and the vessel we occupy. Your divine self is here on earth to learn because life experiences are our teacher and everyone here is a student and teacher for one another. Our divine self is in direct communication and contact with our creator. The problem is that when someone is stuck in 3D human consciousness, the divine self cannot communicate or give us sound advice. Only the ego, pain, body or hostile inner critic can speak to us when we are stuck in a rigid 3D mindset. That is why I tell people to calm down and get grounded and centered, which is 4D, human consciousness. Nobody can make a favorable, rational decision from a place of hate, anger and fear. That is why I say one must get out of one's ego and into one's heart. They are two separate operating systems that control and influence our lives. So think of it as two separate halves of a whole. We have our divine self and this ball of mental energy that creates human consciousness within the vessel we occupy. Our primary purpose is to become whole again, to form that mind, body and spirit connection again. To form that mind, body and spirit connection.

Speaker 1:

Something magical can happen when a person starts to examine their life choices, beliefs, cultural or religions, do's and don'ts. This form of self-reflection is part of the ascension process. Who am I is part of the ascension process. Who am I? Why am I here? What is my life purpose?

Speaker 1:

When we discover what truth is for ourselves, our personality can change. A person can go from being angry all the time to being calm and peaceful. This transition from 3D into 4D is about going within, reflecting upon what has created or caused one to become angry and how to discover liberation from within. I like to call it self-expression from anger into peace. It is learning to understand yourself without the rules or edicts of the structures of personality, country, family, obligations and limitations. So what is happening is this angry person is making the choice and the key word is choice the choice to shift and move into alignment that supports an idea of expression which aligns with peace instead of anger. Maintaining this new way of thinking, acting and behaving is key. It takes 28 to 30 days to create a new habit way of thinking, acting and behaving. You want to embody, embrace and become this new, happier, confident person. You do not want to test drive it, you want to become it. Think of it as a new operating system being installed. New neural pathways within the brain are being formed and outdated neural pathways are beginning to disconnect and weaken from within.

Speaker 1:

For more clinical evidence about the power of our thoughts and emotions have over our physical well-being, read or listen to the book the Secret Language of your Body the Essential Guide to Health and Wellness, and how those illnesses are associated with our thoughts and emotions within the realm of 3D human consciousness. We have all heard of the AHA moments. Those AHA moments are like revelations. A new beginning has been revealed to you. When one operates from the upper rooms of human consciousness, one moves into a state of recognition of what is only in truth. Instead of listening to lies or the angry ego, there can be wisdom, understanding, compassion, patience and acceptance. And yes, at times the truth can sting a little. It is as if one can now see the thorn stuck in their side and they are in a position to view that thorn as a valuable life lesson or teacher. They no longer beat themselves up mentally but can have compassion and grace for themselves and others. So let's break down the steps or give a more detailed explanation of the ascension process.

Speaker 1:

The ascension process has seven different approaches or methods. Some might explore the ascension process has seven different approaches or methods. Some might explore the ascension process for spiritual growth and the evolution of becoming whole. Again, ascension is often viewed as a process or journey of spiritual growth and the evolution of oneness. One becomes one with their divine self and our creator. This is when a person moves or shifts towards a higher state of consciousness. An understanding of themselves, their life journey in general and their knowledge of oneness slash connection with all instead of separation.

Speaker 1:

Then there is self-realization. Life is our teacher. We are all students and teachers. Everyone has had good and bad life life experiences. I no longer view life as bad or even good, because some of those horrible life moments were my most significant moments to go within, learn and set myself free. I discovered generational trauma stories and memories from my childhood. That's why everyone's journey is unique. Nobody has the same life experiences. We might have similar life experiences, but our childhood experiences hold many valuable gems of wisdom and liberation which can be hidden from us. Wisdom and liberation which can be hidden from us. That is why going within is key. You are holding a flashlight into the darkness and discovering why you took someone personally.

Speaker 1:

Why does one hate or dislike another person? Who do they remind you of from your past? Who do they remind you of from your past? Therefore, self-realization involves a deep exploration of the self. This deep exploration can lead to great self-awareness of one's true nature and purpose. For example, what if your parents want you to take over the family business and your heart pulls you in another direction? Will you relinquish your heart's hopes and dreams to please another person? Can your parents love you unconditionally if you refuse to not take over the family business? This is your life, which should be a life you love, instead of obligations and unhappiness. We have all heard stories of people realizing that they were gay. This is another form of self-realization.

Speaker 1:

Others can recognize that they are empaths, mediums, intuitives or have the ability to channel higher dimensional beings. Some have the self-realization that their divine self, spirit, guides or angels are communicating with them or have been communicating with them for years. They did not know it until they experienced self-realization. Over the years, I have learned a mantra that has saved my sanity and supports me, and no longer attaching or taking something personally when I experience chaos, or taking something personally when I experience chaos, I say to myself or out loud this is only temporary, this is only temporary, this is only temporary. I repeat that saying until I feel a sense of relief within my body. Then I say this is only temporary and something good will come from this experience. I do not know what it is now, but I know there is a lesson to learn here. Something good will come from this.

Speaker 1:

Then, when I was listening to Eckhart Tolle's audiobook A New Earth Awakening to your Life's Purpose, he shared a similar story. His mantra is this too, shall pass. I loved it because when we cling or attach meaning to a horrible situation. We get stuck in 3D human consciousness thoughts, actions, beliefs and behaviors. We can start to find faults in anyone and anything. Blame is on ourselves for an error of judgment, not a mistake. We can even blame God. Can you comprehend why staying neutral to life experiences is essential? Another one of my friends has a mantra it is what it is. This helps her not to attach to any outcomes or expectations. Therefore, there is no good or bad, just what is Another part of the ascension process is purification and transformation.

Speaker 1:

Learning to master the upper rooms of human consciousness supports this process because one is learning to find where they are stuck in 3D human consciousness and shed the negative ways of thinking. You shed the patterns, the beliefs, the actions and behaviors limiting or preventing their spiritual growth. The best example is my friend who was stuck in regret and could not see the gift of unconditional love and his connection with God. If he did not have his life experience with his ex-wife, his relationship with God would most likely be superficial. Now he is one with his creator and cherishes it. Yet he was stuck in the mindset of regret instead of gratitude. I was able to support him in seeing the blessings in his painful relationship with his ex-wife. So let's unpack this purification and transformation process. The best example I can give you is my friend. Again, he was stuck at the human consciousness level of 30 and after our conversation he became aligned with unconditional love which vibrates at the frequency level of 500.

Speaker 1:

To own this traumatic shift in human consciousness he must undergo a purification and transformation process. He sheds the painful past. He releases his attachments to the stories and memories. He clears his pain body of all the 3D thought patterns, behaviors, beliefs and attitudes. Peace must be made with what was and what is. This process of detachment frees his mind, heart, soul and emotions. He is transforming from the old 3D perspective into 5D. It is like a snake shedding its skin. It outgrows the old pain body and lets it go. When he knows he is complete in his purification and transformation process, he can recall those painful memories and stories and no longer feel sadness, regret, heartache or this salvation attitude towards his ex-wife. He will realize self-realization here, that those memories and stories supported him in discovering his divine self. He will smile and feel gratitude. The memories and stories no longer haunt his dreams or his daily existence.

Speaker 1:

The next step or practice can be meditation, breathwork, yoga or prayer. Meditation, breathwork and prayer are life-changing because they allow one to align with higher energies. The mind becomes quiet and still. You step into this vast space of nothingness and become one with it. It is a fantastic feeling. This is another part or step in the ascension process. When we quiet our mind and go to this space and place of peace, something magical happens. It is like a doorway opens up and we can align with higher spiritual beings, energies and forces. Our consciousness can connect with our divine self, the universe and the creator.

Speaker 1:

What is also magical about this simple practices is that the mind becomes silent. For some, this seems impossible. The mind is constantly chattering and seems to take on a life of its own, separate from the self. I like to call the voice of the past, because it is the voice of the past for me. I recall working with a client and she said that her mind would never stop chattering. It drove her nuts and made it hard for her to sleep at night. So I told her that listening to another voice can teach her mind to become quiet. For example, when we watch TV or go to the movies, the mind becomes quiet. Correct, the mind is focused on something else. So I advised her that with repeated practice and patience, her mind would become quiet.

Speaker 1:

One day she could learn to become self-aware of life instead of life passing her by. She could become mindful of many different things in life. A good example is how many of us are conscious and mindful when eating. I mean, we can tell ourselves that I will only take one more bite and before you know it, we are shoveling food into our mouth. Then we try to rationalize or justify the behavior. I also have practiced mindful eating when I was starving. I mean, that's the time to really practice it.

Speaker 1:

The first step was to become conscious, mindful and aware of her breath. She felt her breath moving in and out of her body. Next, she followed the breath and noticed how it could calm everything down when used as a tool for inner calmness and peace. When used as a tool for inner calmness and peace, eventually she revealed to me that her mind was much calmer, less stressed and filled with worry and doubt. This is a gift she gave herself and it took practice, practice, practice. She got out of fear, which vibrates at the frequency of 100, and became satisfied with life at 250. That was purification and transformation.

Speaker 1:

The next step in the ascension process is shifting perspectives. I do this for my clients and anyone who comes to me with a story stuck in 3D human consciousness. When one can shift and move their perspective out of hate, anger or fear, it leads to a greater sense of interconnectedness and empathy towards others. This is especially important when a narcissistic or toxic parent raised someone. I strive for them to find empathy towards that person.

Speaker 1:

There can be years and years of built up anger, resentment, blame, victim mindset and pain. Most people want them to suffer as deeply as they have, and the truth is they did. The person cannot see it or realize it. Some do not even want to hear the truth. They want them to burn in hell. Yet if one wants them to burn in hell, the same will happen to them. Life will be hell for both parties. Are the wheels turning? Can we be humble towards ourselves and show mercy to all?

Speaker 1:

This lesson was hard to learn and discover because I did not grow up in a 4D home. What helped me shift my perspective about an abusive family member was to know about his childhood. When I did, I felt pity for him. It explained why he became what many people would call a monster. Now I see him as my most outstanding teacher and I love him unconditionally. Do I want to sit down and have tea with him or hang out? The answer is no. My heart and mind and soul are content with having no contact with this person. I can love him from afar.

Speaker 1:

The last and most absolute favorite is experiencing higher states of consciousness. It is true that when one begins to master the upper rooms of human consciousness, one will experience moments of enlightenment, pure bliss and oneness with the universe. One can experience this higher state of consciousness by meditation, visiting places worldwide that speak to your soul, or taking something that will induce these effects. It can be like taking Molly or being surrounded by a cushion of unconditional love. The energy is buzzing with life, joy, peace and connectedness. It is better than going to Disneyland. That is why I am happy that certain states and countries are using magic mushrooms to support people with anxiety, to support people with anxiety, depression, ptsd and addictions.

Speaker 1:

Coming from a mental health background, I believe our Creator gave us natural tools to help people who are stuck or trapped within their past traumas such as psychedelics. What I will say next might shock some people, but listen, I have a personal story to share. I subscribe to a magazine called Reasons, free Minds and Free Markets. In the March 2025 issue there was an article about the strange case of the immortality key Brian and I know I can't pronounce his last name, but if you go to the blog post it's here. He wrote this fascinating book, the Immortality Key the secret history of a religion with no name. Some called it groundbreaking because this man dedicated a huge chunk of his life researching the use of psychedelics to bring people closer to God.

Speaker 1:

Since I enjoy listening to audiobooks, I went to audiblecom and, to my surprise, I already had that book in my library, but I never listened to it. To me that was a sign and there was, in fact, three signs, because for Christmas, a friend gave me three grams of magic mushrooms and those mushrooms were still sitting in my freezer. I had to listen to this audiobook and, yes, the book is fantastic. I highly recommend it. Even Graham Hancock wrote acknowledgements in the front of the book. He admitted that he couldn't have written his first book, supernatural, without the aid of psychedelics. I mean, imagine doing psychedelics in ancient temples and landmarks around the world. The spiritual connection and oneness must have been mind-blowing. His book is next on my list.

Speaker 1:

Many of you might be wondering if I consume the mushrooms or take mushrooms. Often, the answer is yes and no. I was curious and, with my mental health and trauma-informed background, I wanted to try it. I knew it would not kill me and it could be fun. This would be my first time and since it would be my first time, I wanted a support person. Now, I only took two grams, not three. I cut them up and turned them into a T. I also set my intention, and that's so important. I set my intention to connect with my higher self and to discover if there was anything I needed to release that was holding me back in life.

Speaker 1:

As Brian said in his book, many people find the journey on psychedelics to be in the top five life experiences. It was profound. I saw rays of rainbow colors on the ceiling even when my eyes were closed. My biggest realization was that I could comprehend why people are getting profound relief and that their lives can be transformed. So let me explain. As I looked at the large black screen TV, I realized that the blackness represents all the levels of consciousness within 3D human consciousness. My state of mind and consciousness were at the highest levels of human consciousness. From this higher state of consciousness, I could look down at all the life experiences and world events from a detached perspective. I was no longer in the thick of it, but, above it, it was fascinating for me. I could clearly comprehend why psychedelics were used centuries ago for people to feel the presence of our Creator Well and even to connect to their loved ones that passed and died.

Speaker 1:

When someone is basking in unconditional love, joy and bliss, this is 5D human consciousness. Here one's painful life experiences can easily be viewed, analyzed and repaired. I also received a gift from the experience and my husband is so grateful. Yet he was not thankful I did it when he was out of town. I knew that if I did it with him and he was my support person he might turn a happy trip into an unhappy trip. At times he can be like a mother hen, full of worry and concerns. When someone is under the influence of psychedelics, they are highly suggestible and can take on the other person's fears. So you might be wondering what was the gift? The gift was realizing something I had achieved, yet I had a massive wall around the subject matter. What was the subject matter? It was marriage.

Speaker 1:

When I was four and a half years old, I witnessed my father almost kill my mom and this was not the first time, but the second. So I had a fear about marriage. I grew up seeing and hearing every female family member struggle with various forms of abuse, and it was because of their marriage. This made me afraid of marriage, yet I still wanted to get married. How it was displayed to me was that my mom was in a worn and tattered sailboat, trying to stay afloat in a vast, stormy sea. The boat was rocking back and forth as the dark clouds loomed overhead. The sea represented her emotions. She had 40 years of deep sadness. She thought, or believed at the time when she met my father that he would make all her dreams come true. Instead, it was a nightmare. Then I saw my grandparents in the same boat and next was my great-grandparents, every one of them married, thinking or believing the same thing. Then they showed me my marriage. The water was calm, the sail was not torn or tattered like theirs, the sun was shining, the energy was warm, nurturing and supportive.

Speaker 1:

Then the self-realization hit me. I had this wallop, or fear around marriage that was unconsciously aware of me from my life experiences and what I have witnessed. It hit me like a ton of bricks, and tears of joy and sadness streamed down my face. They were letting me know that I broke the cycle of domestic violence and abuse within my family's generational timeline. I no longer needed to be guarded. That is when I saw the wall crumbling down. It no longer served a purpose. I could trust 250 and enjoy my loving marriage.

Speaker 1:

The experience was so profound that I decided to become a psilocybin facilitator for Oregon, because there are so many people in need. Over 3,000 people in Oregon alone are seeking treatment for their manic depression, ptsd, addictions and other mental health concerns. So if anyone is going to retreat and needs to bring along a facilitator, please think of me. It will not be therapy, but a human consciousness guide to support you in putting the puzzle pieces together when you integrate the images and messages from a higher state of being. Season 2 will begin in the fall. Until then, I wish everyone much joy, happiness and peace of mind and if you like this information, subscribe, follow. If you have any questions, send me an email.
