Ascension and the Map of Consciousness

Ascension is an interesting term you may be hearing often these days.

What does it even mean?

In my understanding, Ascension is a natural process much like evolution.

In some ways the terms may be synonymous.

When we evolve we change.

This change can occur on any or all levels of being: the physical, emotional, mental or spiritual.

Whenever there is any kind of change at all there is always a change in frequency - that's just basic physics.

Nothing can change or be altered without it affecting the energetic frequency emitted by the person, place, condition or thing undergoing the change.

Depending on the nature of the change the frequency may shift to a lower or higher oscillation.

Ascension happens when our consciousness shifts in a way that raises our frequency. 

If we raise our frequency high enough we can shift into higher states of being that transcend our current 3D existence.

Some of you may be saying why are you even talking about this, Paula?!

I'm not interested in this Ascension stuff - I'm just trying to hold on to my sanity and survive!

Well, I'll tell you why.

There is something wonderful called the Map of Consciousness. It was developed by David R. Hawkins M.D., Ph.D., author of Power vs. Force.

This Map is a calibration of emotions and the coinciding levels of consciousness.

It can also act as a guide to demonstrating how our thoughts and the subsequent frequencies shape our experiences.

What I see when I look at this Map is the promise of evolution and ascension for us all - if we are ready and willing to do the work that will raise our consciousness and, therefore, our frequency.

So even if you're not at all interested in the ascension process, you will see from this map that as you ride up the scale of frequency you SIMPLY FEEL BETTER.

From this better feeling place, you make choices that better serve and allow you to create a better life.

So what keeps us from moving higher on the frequency scale?

Things like old programming and family, religious, cultural and political conditioning and imprinting - the kinds of patterns we identify and clear in RET sessions.

Yes. Rapid Eye Technology (RET) is an effective way to move up the scale of consciousness to a higher state of being.

The word that is flashing in neon lights for me right now is DISTRACTION.

We live in a world of ever increasing distractions, including our traumas and attachments.

We can't move up the Map if we are so distracted that our focus is in the bottom half of the Map.

I think in these terms because in my 28 years as a Master Rapid Eye Technician I have seen hundreds of clients shift to some of the higher states of being you see on the Map.

Did they do it because they were dedicated to Ascension? Hardly ever.

But they were determined to FEEL BETTER and have a better life. And they did.

Below is the Map of Consciousness chart made by Dr. David R. Hawkins.

NOTE: Simply reading Dr. Hawkins' Power vs. Force and/or The Map of Consciousness Explained may very well raise your frequency.

Many Blessings!

Hope you are enjoying your summer!

With warmth,

Paula



Here are some other ways to define Ascension. 

Which one do you relate to or do you feel pertains to your life?

1. Spiritual/Metaphysical Ascension

In New Age and metaphysical circles, ascension refers to a shift in consciousness — a personal or collective elevation to a higher state of being.

Common themes include:

• Raising vibration/frequency: Moving from fear-based states to love-based awareness.

• Awakening: A deeper realization of one's spiritual nature or unity with the Divine.

• 5D Consciousness: Transcending 3D duality (fear, ego, materialism) and operating from compassion, intuition, and unity.

• Energy upgrades: Descriptions of "light body activation," DNA activation, or energy downloads.

• Symptoms: Fatigue, anxiety, emotional purging, shifts in diet, changes in relationships — often seen as part of the "ascension process."

 2. Psychological/Personal Growth Lens

In a more grounded or psychological sense, ascension might describe:

• Self-actualization: Realizing one’s full potential.

• Transcending trauma: Healing past wounds and living with greater clarity and intention.

• Expanded awareness: Living with mindfulness, presence, and emotional regulation.

From my background in trauma healing and life coaching, I am already guiding clients through a kind of personal ascension and helping them shed limiting beliefs and step into wholeness. Reach out to me at paulakbronte@gmail.com to set up a session to see how I can help YOU!

 3. Esoteric or Channeling Communities

Some groups talk about ascension as part of Earth’s shift into a new era (e.g., the “Age of Aquarius” or planetary awakening). You might hear:

• Talk of starseeds, galactic beings, or soul missions.

• Earth transitioning to a higher density.

• The concept of a "split timeline" where people choose between fear-based or love-based realities.
